Speaker 1: These one Bill's Live presented by Called Light of Health.

00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: Oh Bill's fans, the eight month wait is finally over.

00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: Welcome Jack Game Day Week one. Lat's god, so holy Mackerel.

4
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: I you know this brown So Brownie's not here, he's

5
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: in LA And we're sitting here getting ready for this

6
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: and and use the place we usually get lunch here, right,

7
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: so I go out for lunch in my place. Everybody,

8
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean most people, everybody is wearing Bill's gear. Every

9
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: single solitary person that I encountered while I was out

10
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: getting lunch had Bill's gear on all of them without exception. Yeah,

11
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: that's that's where we're at. Man, that's where we're at.

12
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: It's a day for goosebumps and chicken skin all the

13
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: way up to kick off. There's as the fevered pitch

14
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: that the anticipation has reached over the last two weeks.

15
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you can measure it. It's

16
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: almost overwhelming. We showed von Miller's hype video yesterday. Josh

17
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: Allen's got a hype video out. Every now there's like

18
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: it's a thing. Now everybody puts their own hype video out.

19
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: But now I got fans doing it. Fans are doing

20
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: it and they're pretty good. They're actually pretty good. And

21
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: we're you know, with the atmosphere here in Buffalo too,

22
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: and it doesn't take much to get your you know,

23
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: to get you up right, to get you hyped up.

24
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: And you know, some of these some of them pretty good.

25
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you go out and find them on on social,

26
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: they're on YouTube, they're every place, and they'll give you

27
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: some they'll give you some goosebumps. It's pretty fun. Yeah. Fun.

28
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: I will tell you that the team hotel here in

29
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: La is it's much the same as the atmosphere you

30
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: described at your local eatery. It is. Oh, the lobby

31
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: is overrun with bills fans. I don't know that there

32
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: were more than a half a dozen people who do

33
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: not have some form of red, white and blue on.

34
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: And the going and the going estimate right now for

35
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: how many of the fans in so far tonight will

36
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: be on the bills side of the ledger it has

37
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: gone as high as thirty percent. So if that's the case,

38
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: that is going to be audibly noticeable tonight, based on

39
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: how the game twists and turns, there there will be

40
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: an impact from bills fans if there are right thirty

41
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: percent of them and it's in the crowd tonight, we're

42
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: talking about five twenty pm kickoff out there, correct, yes, yeah, say,

43
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: and you know Bill's fans will be there well before that.

44
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean they'll have lunch and head over if not

45
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: having lunch there right, So, um, yeah, it's going to

46
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: be noticeable, no question about it. It has been said,

47
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, the California teams have a hard time pulling

48
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: fans in, particularly for early season games, and all of that.

49
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: The Chargers are notoriously playing away games in their own stadium.

50
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with them. But this is you know,

51
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: they're putting a banner up. I mean this this should

52
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: be after winning the Super Bowl. This should be one

53
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: of the strongest turnouts for an opening game that the

54
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Rams have ever had since they were Saint Louis Rams.

55
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: So I would imagine there's going to be a really

56
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: strong group of Rams fans out there. But there's no

57
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: doubt the Bills have because of the road schedule. The

58
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: rest of the road games on the schedule for Buffalo,

59
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean there's Miami game and that's about it. Everything

60
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: else is kind of like you know. Yeah, so this

61
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: is the game, and it's the opening game, and the

62
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 1: expectations are high and the adrenaline's running, so you figured

63
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people did show up out there. It's

64
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. I think it's gonna be a great

65
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: atmosphere obviously. Oh yeah, absolutely. So we got out here

66
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: late yesterday afternoon and we actually, me and a couple

67
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: of members of our team video crew for Buffalo Bills

68
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: dot com. We're invited to tour the NFL Network building

69
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: and studios out here in La which, as you know

70
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: Steve is directly across the street from Sofi. That's actually

71
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium behind us that our MSG viewers are seeing

72
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: right now. But we jumped in the studio there and

73
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: kind of toured everything. And Alex Rigola, who's been like

74
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: a long term point of contact for us at the

75
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: offices out here in La you know, we send her footage,

76
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: they send us stuff, Um real nice, spent an hour

77
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: with us walking us around out there yesterday and it

78
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: was kind of cool to see everything inside and the

79
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: bullpen where the main newsroom is. It's a it's a

80
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: big operation out here. We got here late in the day,

81
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: so the place was almost empty, so we kind of

82
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: had our run of the places. You can see we're

83
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: hopping in studio chairs and you know, but it was

84
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah, the stadium, how's the state Stum, does

85
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: the sun get through the roof? I mean, what did

86
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: you see about that? It looks shaded to me. Yeah,

87
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to say. We didn't get inside the

88
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: stadium yesterday. We were across the street as you can

89
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 1: see there. But um, talking to some of the people

90
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL Network offices, they say it does keep

91
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: a good amount of the sunlight out. But with a

92
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: five twenties start, I think the sun's gonna be so

93
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: low in the sky anyway that that canopy really doesn't

94
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: have to do a whole lot of work. Because as

95
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: you can see there, we were at the NFL Network building,

96
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: probably around the same time the kickoff will happen tonight,

97
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: and you could see the sun's already pretty low in

98
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: the sky. We were on the west side of the

99
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: stadium there and the sun was shining on us. So

100
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't anticipate the solar heat being an issue. And

101
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: I think I told you before the show, Steve that

102
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: the forecast temperature for kickoff is now five degrees lower

103
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: than what it was just a couple of days ago.

104
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be eighty six air temperature, and I

105
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: can't imagine with the sun that low in the sky

106
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: that the on field temperature will be much warmer than that.

107
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: So the Bills may have dodged a bullet here in

108
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: terms of the heat wave that southern California was having

109
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. And like everybody else,

110
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: every media outlet in the world is talking about this game.

111
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean you can't. You can't watch anything else on

112
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: TV right about now or listen to it on radio.

113
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about this game. In the opening weekend of

114
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, the Rams come out with their own news today.

115
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: Did you read less sneed? Sean McVay got extended, the

116
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: head coach and the general manager that the La Rams,

117
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: the team the Bills are playing tonight, got extended through

118
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. And how can you not extend the

119
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: guys that got you a Super Bowl championship and put

120
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: them a little further out into the future. Good for them,

121
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: and it seems appropriate for them to do that at

122
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: this point, right Yeah, I don't think Stan Cronky's hurting

123
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: for money, So yeah, do right by the guys that

124
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: got you a championship. So yeah, that makes sense. And

125
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: they've got a formula now that people are emulating to

126
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: some degree where it's not all about draft choices. It's

127
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: about getting premier players at premier positions, and they did

128
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: that again this offseason with Bobby Wagner. I was reading

129
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: through some of the game notes, Steve, and by the way,

130
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: this week's game sponsor is the BFL Store the Buffalo.

131
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: The BFLO Store is the official retailer the Buffalo Bills.

132
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: And the one thing I saw was the Rams are

133
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: the only team in the league with three players on

134
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: their roster who have been named to at least three

135
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: first team All Pro teams. And that's obviously Aaron Donald,

136
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, and Bobby Wagner. And I know Bobby Wagner's

137
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: a ten year vet, but some of the people we've

138
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: had on this week Steve to cover the Rams are like, oh, yeah,

139
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: Wagner's still got the range to go sideline to sideline

140
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: and make plays. And you know, we've talked a lot

141
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: about how all of the new additions for the Bills

142
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: can make an impact and what they can do to

143
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: make the Bills even better than last year. Bobby Wagner's

144
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: going to make a difference at the second level for

145
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: that group this year. On the defensive side for LA, Yeah,

146
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: no question about it. And and I'll say this about LA.

147
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: They you know, they had this thing where they don't

148
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: really care about their top draft picks. They'll trade those

149
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: things away like you know, like they're giving out candy

150
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: at a parade. But they do bring in guys that

151
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: can have produced and proven to be productive in the league.

152
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: And they have a high expectations for the guys on

153
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: their roster, not just the guys they're playing they're paying

154
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars to it's the guys all the way

155
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: down the roster. And if if you can't get it done,

156
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, thanks for stopping by. Robert Woods a perfect example.

157
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: He got out he wanted to get outside the value

158
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: of his contract. And he's not Cooper Cup and he's

159
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: not Alan Robinson. They brought in a guy that really

160
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: is probably better than Robert Woods. As much as you

161
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: and I and everybody here in Buffalo remembers him and

162
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: likes the guy, Alan Robinson's better they got. They brought

163
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: him in and plugged him in where they lost Robert Woods.

164
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: They are really in tune with the values of their

165
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: contracts and what kind of production they're getting out of it.

166
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: They've got a ton of guys that are stars and

167
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: are getting paid like stars. But as you saw last

168
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: year at the end of the year, they're they're coming

169
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: through when they need to. Aaron Donald getting a game

170
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: clinching sack, even ob j who went out of that

171
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: game early, gave them everything they wanted out of a

172
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: one year deal or the two. You know. So Cooper

173
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: Cup won the Triple Crown, more yards, more receptions, more

174
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns than any receiver in the league. So yeah, it's

175
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: it is a different way that they do business out there.

176
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: They throw away draft picks, they pay a lot of

177
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: money to a few guys who can really go, and

178
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: they've got a really sharp young head coach that they

179
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: like and the GM same thing. They've got some guys

180
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: that work well together. So no surprise that they extended

181
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: those guys. But their philosophy, as you mentioned, Brownie, it's

182
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: a little bit different than people around the league, and

183
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see if you've got owners with

184
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and there's not too many of them with pockets as

185
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: deep as Stan Cronky who are willing to go that route. Yeah,

186
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: I think that. And speaking of contracts, they just did

187
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: another one with Roby, their right tackle. He signs a

188
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: three year, thirty four and a half million dollar extension.

189
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: And in the second hour of the show, we'll be

190
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: talking with one of his former teammates, the recently retired

191
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Whitworth, who played left tackle as you know, for

192
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: so many years for the Rams, and we'll talk to

193
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: him about Havenstein's new contract and how he's one of

194
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: the new leaders on that offensive line. He's like the

195
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: veteran leader now in the absence of Whitworth, So we'll

196
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: be talking to Whitworth about that. The reigning NFL Walter

197
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: Payton Man of the Year. We also have Field Yates

198
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: back for another season for your fantasy football needs. He'll

199
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: be joining us at the bottom of the hour here

200
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: in about twenty minutes time give us his Week one lineup,

201
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: so be interesting to see who he's got plugged in

202
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: running back, receiver, quarterback, etc. So we look forward to

203
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: catching up with Field and having him back for another season.

204
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: To help you with your fantasy football lineups. Other NFL

205
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: news and notes, Steve, that we have to get to

206
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: here and those, by the way, brought to you by

207
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

208
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: The big one that's sticking out like a sore thumb

209
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: right now, Steve is Lamar Jackson. Lamar at his press

210
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: conference this week, set tomorrow Friday as the deadline to

211
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: sign a contract extension with the Ravens for his big

212
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: money second contract. Guaranteed money has reportedly been the stumbling block.

213
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: Do you think it gets done by tomorrow? Steve? I

214
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: would say probably yes, you do. Okay, I think it

215
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: probably was. I was I was leaning the other way

216
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: early on. And if that's the only thing that is

217
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: being bandied about as the problem, and I don't know

218
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: the numbers we have, Nobody knows any of these things,

219
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: but I would say that would that could probably be

220
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: compromised and they could get it either either inflating the

221
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: total value of the contract later on or given him

222
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: some easier to reach incentives that he knows he can

223
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: get somehow some way, making Lamar know that you know

224
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: he's their guy. Now I'm sure, this contract is going

225
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: to be really interesting to a lot of people because

226
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: Lamar and his mom did this themselves, and it has

227
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: been absolutely dead silent on all fronts. There's no agents

228
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: trying to get attention, there's no nobody's playing this out

229
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: in the media at all. Lamar, you almost have to

230
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: pry information out of him to even get what he's

231
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: thinking about. He surrendered this information yesterday about you know,

232
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Friday's the deadline. I don't want to talk about it

233
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: after that, So that's kind of the only information you

234
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: get about this contract. So why it hasn't been leading

235
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: the headline. So I think he's too valuable to the

236
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: organization for them to risk him just saying forget it.

237
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm just I'll play on the franchise tow You can

238
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: hang on to me as long as you want, but

239
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. They may do that, but yeah, I

240
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: just I think this contract and how it's worded and

241
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: what it looks like is really really interesting because Lamar's

242
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: a Unicorn, and the and the brand and the Ravens

243
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: know it. They they run their offense differently than anybody

244
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: else in the league because of Lamar. It's not like

245
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: they can plug like the Jets are gonna plug Joe

246
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Flacco in. They can't plug anybody else in there and

247
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: have it run like it does with Lamar. So Lamar's

248
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: got leverage, but so do the Ravens. I don't know

249
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: that there's that many teams out there that are gonna say,

250
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna completely We're gonna completely tear

251
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: down our offensive roster and start doing things completely different.

252
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: If we can get Lamar. A lot of teams won't

253
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: aren't willing to do that. I think the most interesting

254
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: thing with this whole contract negotiation is there's past present,

255
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: past precedent with the Ravens because they waited on Flacco,

256
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: and Flacco bet on himself and one maximized his value

257
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: more than maybe any other player in the history of

258
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: football because he not only leads the team to the

259
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, they win it, and he's Super Bowl MVP

260
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: in a contract year. I wonder how much that impacts

261
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: them and their decision making. Now you know, almost no

262
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: matter what happens, short of him having some kind of

263
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: catastrophic injury, you are going to pay more in February

264
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: than you would right now. I don't know what the

265
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: hold up is here for the Ravens. Well, here's the thing, brownie.

266
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: They're only gonna pay more in February than they will

267
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: right now. If Lamar hits a home run, and if

268
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: he does that, the Baltimore Ravens, they may be saying, listen,

269
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: let's make him do that. We want him to do that,

270
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: we want him to hit home er. I don't mind

271
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: paying it. And if he gives us a world championship,

272
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: pay him whatever he wants. We got it. You know,

273
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: they can't take the championship away from We can pay

274
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: for it after it's over. But if we don't get there,

275
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: then whatever is left. Oh, whatever happens at the end

276
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: of the season, however he plays, is leverage on our side,

277
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: not leverage on his side. Because he didn't get it done.

278
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: They might well be thinking that now. Certainly it did

279
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: blow up in their face with Joe Flacco. But if

280
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Lamar does come out, if he doesn't play well, if

281
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: they don't get to and go deep into the playoffs,

282
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: if Lamar doesn't have the kind of caliber of season

283
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: we've seen him have in his MVP year, what are

284
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: we talking about? Why would they pay him all that

285
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: money so well? And if they don't pay him all

286
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: that money, they can always tag him and have him

287
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: go again. I just don't know why they would take

288
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: that approach when they've gone to all these lengths. They've

289
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: completely revamped their offensive scheme to cater it to what

290
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: Lamar does best. Like you're a Yes he's a unicorn,

291
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: but you've turned your offense into the same unicorn because

292
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: of him, right. I mean to me, that already shows

293
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: you've committed, So why not commit the money too. I

294
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: don't get it. Well. I think what they'd rather do

295
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: is commit the money after the fact, if they go

296
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: deep in the playoffs, after they become champions, after all that,

297
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: they'll pay for it after, not before. They're not gonna

298
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: invest in something they don't know that can happen. And

299
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't play a lot last year, and his style

300
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: of quarterbacking hasn't changed, and they may believe in their

301
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: hearts Lamar won't sit out. He's gonna play no matter what.

302
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, make him prove it every year,

303
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: just you know, give him that motivation. Either you're gonna

304
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: play this year for if we can't get a deal done,

305
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna play unto the franchise tag next year and

306
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: the next year and then reevaluate. But I think you

307
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: know that's kind of where you're at with Lamar. If

308
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: you're the if you're the Ravens, it's the course of

309
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: action is yours to choose. You can either give him

310
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: the money now and hope he doesn't take it out

311
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: of gear, or you can make him work for it.

312
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: And I don't have a problem making the guy work

313
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: for it, um, particularly since he's shown what he can

314
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: do already. Yeah, I guess. I mean, there's two ways

315
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: to look at it. I just don't if you don't

316
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: want to pay more, pay him now, Like that's the

317
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: only thing that I keep coming back to you. But

318
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: you know what you're gonna do. If they can get

319
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: him through this, and then they can put him on

320
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: the franchise tag, get him on these one year contracts.

321
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: How motivated it is a guy gonna be and you

322
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: might squeeze a super Bowl out of it, maybe even two,

323
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, if they're if they get

324
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: that good, if he starts to play like that, so

325
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: then you can pay and then you might have to

326
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: pay him, and then you will be on the hook

327
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: for a long time and more. But at least you'll

328
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: have a Super Bowl under your belt to to you know,

329
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: to justify it. The only thing with the franchise tag

330
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: is you can't really move the money as fluidly around

331
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: as you can with a long term deal. No, it's

332
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: a hitto. I think you hurt yourself cap wise with

333
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: the tag, especially with a quarterback. So to me, it

334
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: would behoove them to get a long term deal done.

335
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: It allows you more flexibility and moving the money around

336
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: and the guaranteed stuff and the incentives and all of

337
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: that balloon payments whatever. To me, I'm I'm yelling at

338
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens just get it done. If I'm a Ravens,

339
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: maybe I'm done with it. But maybe they're maybe, maybe

340
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: we're Maybe the Baltimore Ravens are the kind of team that, listen,

341
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna going to string him along and then trade him.

342
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: At the end of this. We'll let him, you know,

343
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: we'll maybe we'll franchise him, franchise him and then let

344
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: him go, let him go in free agency and then

345
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: and wait for a draft class where we get a

346
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: guy back and we can just draft the guy. Um. Oh,

347
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: for goodness, sake, Steve, You're to way down the rabbit.

348
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they're not convinced he is the guy, and

349
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna wait for the opportune moment to free themselves

350
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: of him. I don't know. I mean, if he wants

351
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: to hang out, if he if maybe Lamar wants to

352
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: hit free agency, then he can. Then and only then

353
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: will he hit the home run like Deshaun Watson did,

354
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: then he'll do that. I don't think anybody's doing that.

355
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's getting a fully guaranteed contract for

356
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: a while. I think if Lamar Jackson outliar with extenuating circumstances,

357
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: I don't see it. If Lamar jack I don't think

358
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens will do it. Well. They might not. If

359
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson plays well under this the rest of this

360
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: con tract and they don't get a deal done, he

361
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: and they he franchises out of it like Kirk Cousins

362
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: or whatever. Lamar could sign a deal that makes, you know,

363
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: mahomes deal look small. Can't you Here's the thing, can't

364
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: you see like a half a dozen owners calling up

365
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslim after he hands to Shaun Watson and guarantee

366
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty million. Can't you see about six

367
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: owners calling up Jimmy has him. He going, Jimmy, what

368
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: the hell are you doing? What the hell are you doing? Jimmy,

369
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: are you serious this guy? And fully guaranteed you're telling

370
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: us you're telling us Jimmy absolutely absolutely, And you know

371
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: what if you're if you're Jimmy Haslim, it's it's hard

372
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: to you know, to to do that. Um, maybe he

373
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: just does not care what fans are the greater community things.

374
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna tell you, literally doesn't. And so I and

375
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: when when Lamar comes back, he's Lamar's gonna have to

376
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: live with it. Not Lamar Deshun's gonna have to live

377
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: with what he's done and it's going to follow him

378
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: the rest of his life. But now, I mean, because

379
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: of your ownership, he's gonna follow them too. So yeah, yeah,

380
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: it's not so much about the money for me, it's

381
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: about the you know, having the guy work for you

382
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: and then giving him that kind of contract. Yeah, cuckoo

383
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: for Coco puffs. Um, we should get back to this

384
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: game tonight. A little bit here interesting report from ESPN's

385
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter that Matthew Stafford's throwing elbow, which has been

386
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: in the headlines after he dealt with some load management

387
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: issues with that elbow last season. He underwent a shoulder

388
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: procedure this offseason, and the report is his elbow is

389
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: better now than it was at this time last year.

390
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: So seeing that he was basically third in the league

391
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: in passing yards with almost forty nine hundred, behind only

392
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Justin Herbert, and through forty one touchdowns,

393
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: which tied a personal single season record, knowing his elbow

394
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: is better now at this time than it was last

395
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: year at this time, he does he do even better

396
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: this season? That's what I wonder he might. I mean,

397
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: we've we've had this conversation about not only Stafford might

398
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: do better, but quarterbacks across the league might do better.

399
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 1: Now that the league is gonna let up, is going

400
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: to crack down on illegal contact, and the receivers are

401
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: gonna be that much more open, You're gonna have that

402
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: many more yards thrown for, You're gonna have that many

403
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: more points scored. Yeah, Stafford could improve his numbers, but

404
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: I think also quarterbacks around the league are all going

405
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: to do that because of the stance the league is

406
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: taken on the illegal contact. We'll see if that happens tonight.

407
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: Then if the Bills and Rams start to take advantage

408
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: of it right out of gay, right out of the

409
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: gate in Week one. I think staff them saying that

410
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: Stafford's elbow is better than it was a year ago.

411
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: It might It might be exactly the case. I think

412
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: it's rhetoric, which is which is not convinced. Yeah, exactly.

413
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm the rhetoric is a nice word for bs. Okay,

414
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: and I the guy had The guy had thumb surgery

415
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: last year, Yeah, he did, and now he had elbow

416
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: surgery this year. They may think that this elbow is sturdier.

417
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: There's nothing that your body can there's no surgery you

418
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: can go through, orthopedic surgery you can go through, you know,

419
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: to fix your body. That might not make it worse

420
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: than it was, making it better. You don't work on

421
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: an elbow to get it better. You work on an

422
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: elbow to get it back to normal. And the thing's

423
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: still hurting him. Yeah, I don't think. I don't. I

424
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: think that's rhetoric. So it may be, and he may yeah,

425
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: he's I don't have any doubt he's gonna be able

426
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: to throw the football tonight. But I'll tell you what

427
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: week four, week six, week nine, then we'll see. And

428
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't. I hope he never gets his

429
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: arm hit during his delivery. Hope he never gets the

430
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: ball ripped out of his arm when he's taken it back,

431
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: because if any of that stuff happens, all bets are off.

432
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: Most guys can handle a lot of that stuff as

433
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback when they're one hundred percent healthy. When you're

434
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: nicked up and it's not and it's been surgically repaired,

435
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: usually the surgery holds up. It's the rest of the

436
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: elbow that gets whacked because that's not as strong as

437
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: the surgical repair. Everything else is compromised. So yeah, it's

438
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: not good. The guys had as you guys had more

439
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: surgeries than you know, the little board game you know operation.

440
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean that guy's he's been under the knife is

441
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: more more time than a little electronic guy in the game.

442
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: But no doubt he feels right. There's no doubt that

443
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is going to come into tonight and this

444
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: is all Bills fans should care about it. He's going

445
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: to commit at to night Field one hundred percent, no

446
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: doubt about it. How long that last is the real question.

447
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't last for anybody in the league, let alone

448
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks. So he's gonna he's gonna get nicked up

449
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: and hurt and bruised up, just like josh Is and

450
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: everybody else is after this game. And he's been around

451
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: the block a lot before, so we'll see how he

452
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: holds up. But I think having him having somebody come

453
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: out and say after he's surgically repaired that his elbows

454
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: better than it was, I have my doubts. We know

455
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: one guy he will be without tonight, and that's Van Jefferson,

456
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: the team's number three wide out. It was trending in

457
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: this direction, so it's really no surprise. He had a

458
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: nice scope back on August fourth. It was given a

459
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: two to four week time table, where over four weeks

460
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: now and he did not practice at all this week,

461
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: so he is out for the Rams. Expected to pick

462
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: up the slack. His fourth receiver, Ben Skeronik, who was

463
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: also special teams player for the Rams, more of a

464
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: physical receiver than he is a precise route runner, which

465
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: is what Jefferson is. Here's the interesting thing that I'm

466
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: wondering about Steve. Last year, Van Jefferson led the Rams

467
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: in downfield passing receptions. He was a quintessential part of

468
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: the Rams, leading the league in downfield passing yardage. And

469
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: now he is out of the equation. It looks like

470
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: they're going to use two guys to spell one. Scarronick is.

471
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: When he's on the field, the Bill's defense has to

472
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: be alert to a run play. He is their best

473
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: blocking receiver, although Alan Robinson a new edition may have

474
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: something to say about that because he's pretty big dude too.

475
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: And then when two two Atwell comes on the field,

476
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: you should expect a field stretching route of some kind

477
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: because that guy runs like a four three two. He's

478
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: a tiny guy. He might even be smaller than Isaiah

479
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: mckenz he's that small. But the guy is an absolute.

480
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: He's a dart. He just goes. Remember watching his college

481
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: tape from Louisville. He can fly. I would I would

482
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: say that's probably true generally, but I'm pretty sure that

483
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: Brams don't want to get that predictable. But certainly they

484
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: got to use that guy, and you still got to

485
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: defend him, even if he even if you do know

486
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: he's going deep, you still gotta run with him. So

487
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: um but yeah, it's chronic picture kumero, right, I mean

488
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: that's what the guy is. Yeah, all right, we gotta

489
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: take a break here because when we come back, we're

490
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: gonna be joined by ESPN Fantasy guru Field Yates with

491
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: his Week one fantasy lineup. Field coming your way next

492
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

493
00:28:40,960 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Don't I welcome back to One

495

Speaker 1: the season is starting, we roll out the ultimate fantasy

497
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: lineup with ESPN Fantasy Football insider Field Yates. It's presented

498
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: by FanDuel Make every moment more. Field welcome back for

499
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: another season. Are you ready? I'm still ready? Brownie is

500
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: still great to be back with both of you. You know.

501
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: I love my Thursday setting, my weekly daily fantasy lineup

502
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: and grateful to you guys for having me back. And

503
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to not just our conversations, but I

504
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: hear there's a football game tonight and I'm looking forward

505
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, I don't know if you heard about it.

506
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: The Bills are actually in this game tonight. I can't

507
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: and I can't remember where it is, but it's somewhere

508
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: out west, so there you go. Okay, Yeah, I think

509
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: it might be Yeah, I don't know. I heard maybe

510
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: San Diego, I don't know, could be Hawaii. Not sure,

511
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: but can't wait for tonight. The expectations are justifiably very

512
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: high for this Buffalo Bills team, and no surprise is

513
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: that many people, myself included, have them as their Super

514
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: Bowl winning pick and looking forward to seeing how they

515
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: handle the pressure. Because there are a lot of people

516
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: who believe that the Bills do not win the Super

517
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: Bowl this season. It will be an upset, all right,

518
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: fair enough, no pressure, guys, Yeah right. And while I

519
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: sit here in LA Field, I notice that your lineup

520
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: has an LA feel to it, But not this team,

521
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: the one across the street. That's right, that's indeed correct.

522
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: And let's start our FanDuel lineup, and again, fiks the

523
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: FanDuel for making this happen. I'll start with my quarterbacks.

524
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is priced at an eighty four hundred dollars

525
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: A big number of reminder by the way to people

526
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: that aren't as familiar with daily fantasy. One of the

527
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: goals a simple calculation, is that you try to have

528
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: the player that you are picking triple his price in

529
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: terms of points. So justin Herbert eighty four hundred dollars

530
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: paying off would be just around twenty five fantasy points,

531
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: which is very much in the wheelhouse of just some

532
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: Jefferson and a match up against the Raiders that I

533
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: expect to be high scoring. Jefferson, of course, has more

534
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: passing yards and passing touchdowns than any player the first

535
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: two years of his career in NFL history. Yeah, and

536
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: that is do you and you fully expect his season

537
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: to go nowhere but up? Correct? Yeah? Sure do? And

538
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: I think that while this is specific to Week one,

539
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: I think that this season is going to be defined

540
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways by a bunch of teams

541
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: having to throw the football at Ton Because the AFC

542
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: is just loaded, as we all know, there are I

543
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 1: really think at least fourteen teams that believe they are

544
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: capable of being a playoff team this year. So I

545
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: expect plenty of throwing this season across the board in

546
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: the AFC. Right, So let's move along here field, let's

547
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: think that to some running back talent and see what

548
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: you have there. Yeah, I did not spend down this

549
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: week at running backs back to back. I have DeAndre

550
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: Swift and Derrick Henry. Worth noting that last year, prior

551
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: to when he got hurt, Andre Swift led all running

552
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: backs in terms of catches, and you love catches because

553
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 1: they help generate plenty of yards. Were in fandels who

554
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about PPR scoring. But DeAndre Swift

555
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: plays behind a really good offensive line in Detroit in

556
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: a game against Philly that we think could be high

557
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: scoring as well. Next on the board is Derrick Henry

558
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: and Titans are significant favorites on Sunday against the Giants.

559
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: The Titans are playing at home. Derrick Henry last season

560
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: average twenty seven point four rushing attempts per game. It

561
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: helps when you're playing with a lead or in a

562
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: close game as opposed to from behind to run the

563
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: football up plenty. I do not expect that the Giants

564
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: will have the lead over the Titans here, so I

565
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: think Derrick Henry, even at his lofty price of ninety

566
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars, could pay off. And then you get

567
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: into the meat of what most people think is fantasy

568
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: land is the wide receivers. You gotta have guys that

569
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,479
Speaker 1: can really get it, and you start with Adam Feeling.

570
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: That's right, And because I paid up at running back,

571
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: I have to find some value at wide receiver. But

572
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: the reality is that there are so many good receiver

573
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: options in fantasy this year, so you could find those

574
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: guys Adham Feeling at sixty one hundred dollars. This Packer

575
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: secondary is very good. The Minnesota will face off against

576
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But Feeling has been a real touchdown maker

577
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. And while I think there are some

578
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: early signs of potential decline for Feeling, I'd rather get

579
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: him early in the season because I think as a

580
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: thirty three or thirty four year old wide receiver, you

581
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: expect him to hold up to be a better player

582
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: early in the year. Mike Williams for the Chargers sort

583
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: of get that stack. Stack is something we love in

584
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: daily fantasy. It's when you have a quarterback and one

585
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: of his top pass catchers, Mike Williams, who has led

586
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers in receiving touchdowns and three of his five careers.

587
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: It is certainly. He certainly is a very talented player.

588
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: He's a little bit up and down if you go

589
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: back and look at his career, but the good weeks

590
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: are really good. If you get a good week, he's

591
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: going to easily pay off that sixty six hundred dollars

592
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: price point. And then one more was Rashad Bateman, Raven's

593
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: first round pick a year ago out of Minnesota. Hurt

594
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: early in his career. They never had a chance to

595
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: kind of really find his footing. But a talented guy

596
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: priced at just sixty one hundred dollars. This week, they

597
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: play against the Jets, they play on the road, They

598
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: are favored by a touchdown in most spots, So I

599
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: think Rashaan Bateman, this Raven's offense could find its way

600
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: against the Jets. Wouldn't surprise me if Bateman is one

601
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: of the breakout stars in the NFL this season. Yeah,

602
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you a follow up on Bateman

603
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: their field because you you have the distraction I don't

604
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: have a better word right now, the distraction of Mark Andrews,

605
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: who was unquestionably their number one target last year. You

606
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: know that Lamar and Andrews have that chemistry Bateman's trying

607
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: to eat into those numbers. Obviously, this year markus Hollywood

608
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: Browns out of the equation. How do you kind of

609
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: see that balance going between Andrews and Bateman this year? Yeah,

610
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: I think that both of them can eat The big

611
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: question is this last year, the Ravens threw the ball

612
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: over six hundred and twenty times. If you go to

613
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: the prior two years, they did not throw the ball

614
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: more than four hundred and forty five times over the

615
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: course of a full season. What happened last year the

616
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: team got injured. So if they are healthy, are they

617
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: going to throw it as much as they did last year? No, Well,

618
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: they throw it enough. I do believe so, because again,

619
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: there's so much strength in the AFC that I'm not

620
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: sure any team can plan to just ground and pound

621
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: its way all the way to a thirteen and four

622
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: twelve and five record. The AFC North looks like one

623
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: of the more competitive divisions in the NFL. And so

624
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: what about speaking of tight ends, Your tight end choice

625
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: this week is a pretty interesting one. Yeah, talk to

626
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: me about the development of your tight end pick and

627
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: kind of where he's at in his young career. Yeah,

628
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan, rookie last year for the Houston Texans out

629
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: of the University of Miami. And I'll be honest with

630
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: you guys here, this is just sort of to call

631
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: it a yolo pick. Right. You're paying down at tight end,

632
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: which means you're not spending big money on someone like

633
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey or Mark Andrews or even Dawson Knox like

634
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: the Bills recently did. You're paying down at forty eight

635
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. And what you're hoping for is that you

636
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: figured this Houston teams playing from behind against Indianapolis. If

637
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: Bregend Jordan has a handfully catches and a touchdown, he

638
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: will pay off. But to be honest with you, I

639
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: am not particularly concerned this week with my tight end

640
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: or my defense choice. Yeah, and speaking of your defense

641
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: going against Washington. Jacksonville taking on Washington two teams that

642
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean you could almost, given their their recent history offensively,

643
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: either one of these defenses might be the one to take. Yeah,

644
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna say you could really flip a coin between

645
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: the Commanders and the Jaguars for this game on Sunday.

646
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: This Jaguars defense was fairly feisty last year. I know

647
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: they didn't get much acclaim because of all the things

648
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: took place in Buffalo last season, but you got I

649
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: mean in Jacksonvill last season. You guys saw them though.

650
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean it played great against the Bills in that

651
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: game that you know obviously was a forgettable one for Buffalo,

652
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: but kind of in some ways help them. It's kind

653
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: of a wake up call for them for the rest

654
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: of the season. So I think Jacksonville is enough talent

655
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: between some of the players they added in free agency.

656
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: Of course, the number one over I'll pick Treyvon Walker.

657
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: They should be reasonable and that leads me into my

658
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: flex spot. At seventy one hundred dollars, A J. Brown

659
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: makes his Eagles debut against the Lions. The Lions have

660
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: a thin wide receiver room. Should be a big day

661
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: for A J. Brown. Priced at seventy one hundred dollars,

662
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: and I left no money left in the bank, so

663
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: we spent all the money this week. It's like how

664
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: I envisioned my daughter will be one day when you's

665
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: old enough to understand the concept of shopping spending all

666
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: the money I have available. Yes, it's in every female's DNA,

667
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: so just prepare yourself. Now I'm ready field follow up

668
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: to your flex pick of AJ Brown? What do you

669
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: find is the common challenge when you have a new

670
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: addition to a team's receiving corps, especially one that ran

671
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: the ball as well as Philadelphia did last year, is well,

672
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: here's what I would say. If you're a team that's

673
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: willing to send a first round pick and pay pretty

674
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: good money the A J. Brown, is it really smart

675
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: of you to do that? If you plan to utilize

676
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: Sam like you did your other wide receivers last year

677
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 1: in which you were so pass heavy, my answer would

678
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: be the you at AJ Brown and he helps your

679
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: offense evolved. Now we'll see how gifted of a passer

680
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: jail and Hurts is or is not. But right now, Brownie,

681
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: you're getting A J. Brown in a bit of a

682
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: discount seventy one hundred dollars. Is priced like a solid

683
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver, not a spectacular wide receiver. In terms of talent,

684
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: he is a spectacular wide receiver. We'll see if the

685
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: Eagles give him the volume to be that player week

686
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: in and week out. Does it give you any concern

687
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: that Rashad Bateman and the Baltimore Ravens go into New

688
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: York and Lamar is going to be playing, and they

689
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: don't throw the ball that well and their favors. So

690
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: if they get out in front of the Jets, particularly

691
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco as their quarterback, and even though there's

692
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: some people say that Jets may play better with Flacco,

693
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: that they just buckle down and and win this game

694
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: six to three and run the ball and let Lamar

695
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: do his thing, certainly possible. I will say this, though,

696
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to find a way to

697
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: get ahead because they're going to be throwing it or up,

698
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: and you know, at sixty one hundred dollars, it's really

699
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: not a major investment price wise, which is why I

700
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: think Rashad Bateman winds up being a pretty reasonable value

701
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: there for the Baltimore rate. All right, feel good lineup

702
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: for week one? Before we let you go, What do

703
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: you think about Bill's Rams tonight? Just your thoughts. I've

704
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: got the Bills in a close one here. I think

705
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: it's an interesting matchup in so many ways, two of

706
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: the best teams in the NFL. I have my eyes,

707
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: so I think many do on the Bills secondary to

708
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: see how it performs without Turnavious White for this week.

709
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: In the next three games at least beyond that, whether

710
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: it's Kay or Elam or Dane Jackson or whoever it is,

711
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: it steps into a more prominent rule. Tonight is going

712
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: to be important. Obviously. The Rams have a very good

713
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: passing game. Even though Cooper cupped, there's a lot of

714
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: his damage from the slot. I think to Ron Johnson

715
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: will have plenty of responsibility there, and I think this

716
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: Bills team finds a way though I don't want to

717
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: put too much pressure on anybody, and I don't want

718
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: to overstate it, but this Bill's team, to me kind

719
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: of feels like they have the secret sauce this year,

720
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: if you will. The Bills are my Super Bowl pick,

721
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's by MVP pick, and I don't want to

722
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: go against the grain here. I don't want to go

723
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: against my picks in Week one, so I will stick

724
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: with the Bills over the Rams in a fairly high

725
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: scoring affair. All right, Field, thanks very much for your

Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

736
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: It is time for a tailgate Friday on a Thursday.

737
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: How crazy are we? It's presented by high Mark Lucross

738
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: Blue Shield of Western New York, the official healthcare plan

739
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bill. And our question for you today

740
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: on this tailgate Friday on a Thursday, what will be

741
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: the key to victory for the Bills in tonight's season

742
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: opener against the Rams. We lead off with Ronnie who

743
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: says pressure, pressure, pressure, with a side of pressure, take

744
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: some of the stress off the secondary that will be

745
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: tested in this matchup. Go Bill. I read that and

746
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: I thought he was talking about the fans, you know,

747
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: I thought he was a I get the pressure. I

748
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: can't stand the prairie or the fans because everybody's wound

749
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: so tight here in Buffalo, Brownie, we can't hardly stand it.

750
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: I mean, my phone's blown up. All my friends want

751
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: to hear you know what's going on where you know

752
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: it's That's what I thought he was saying. But I

753
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: agree with him, and you and I have had great

754
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: conversations about what we believe this defense, How this defense

755
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: has changed this year. Where it may be in a

756
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: transition from where it leaned on the secondary for so

757
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: many years through the first five years of mcdermot's reign. Here,

758
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: not that they've fallen off the cliff, but where is

759
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: now the defensive front with von Miller, the defensive tackles

760
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: at Oliver coming into his own, Greg Russou, Boogie Basham,

761
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: and the rest settle to quan the whole bench, they

762
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: may be able to hold their own and actually really

763
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: do some damage where we haven't seen the Bill's front

764
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: pass rush do that in years past. I'm kind of

765
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: ready to see that. It'll be a lot of fun

766
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: if it does happen, and I think it'll lead to

767
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: a lot of great things, not just sacks, but also

768
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: turnovers in the secondary. Yeah. Maybe the most interesting stat

769
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: on Matthew Stafford that I came across from last year's

770
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: statistics was he is actually a less effective quarterback when

771
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: he is not pressured right then when he is blitzed.

772
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: He threw seventeen interceptions last season, sixteen of them came

773
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: when he was not blitzed. So it's gonna be very

774
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: interesting to see what coach Brazer's approach is, whether he

775
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: chooses to trust his front four to get the job

776
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: done or whether he dials up a blitz here or there.

777
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be very few and far

778
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: between the blitz calls tonight. Yeah, it's not that he

779
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: wasn't pressured, he wasn't blitzed, and because what happens is

780
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: what we've seen. He throws. He got rid of the

781
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: ball last year really well and was really had a

782
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: high rating against the pressure. But I think that comes

783
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: down to a little bit of the receivers he had

784
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: working last year, Robert Wood and of course Cooper Cup.

785
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: Those guys can know what's going on and they see

786
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: it as well as he does. But I think the

787
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: other thing is when teams were able to pressure him

788
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: not get home, but pressure him to throw him the

789
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: football back into you know, seven guys or eight guys

790
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: in covery, Stafford just let it, let it rip. If

791
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: he got quick pressure from just four guys, he had

792
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: a tendency to get rid of it when he shouldn't

793
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: have gotten rid of it. Um, he didn't like to

794
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: get sacked. And when he throws it against a three

795
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: or four man rush and gets pressure, the guy struggled. Um.

796
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: Sixteen of his seventeen interceptions were against a four three

797
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: man rush. That's yeah, that's there's something in that, and

798
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: there's yeah, we'll see if the Bills can take advantage

799
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, Jeremy says, finding a way to contain

800
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: the Rams receivers. I fear their top flight talent against

801
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: a rookie and Dane Jackson, no knock on him, but

802
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: he's not. Trey is going to be the key. The

803
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: last game we played in comes to mind of the

804
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: potential outcome. So he's talking about the Chief's divisional playoff. Um,

805
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson wasn't the problem so much as Levi Wallace

806
00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 1: was on a couple of those busted coverages. Yeah. I mean, listen,

807
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: you're not playing the Chiefs, You're playing the Rams, and

808
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna be a different cat but you're right,

809
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a different game plan. You're gonna have,

810
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: I would say, except for except for Alan Robinson, you

811
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: kind of know what you're gonna get from the Rams.

812
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: And what we've seen is that whatever offense they're running,

813
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: whatever plays they're running, everything kind of looks like it's

814
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: going to be the same play and it's going to

815
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: be the same kind of thing, and then they go

816
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: off and do something so pre snap offensively, it's hard

817
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: to get keys to what they're gonna do. Defensively, it helps, really,

818
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 1: I think it's really going to be the crucial factor

819
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: is poor ear and Hide. Stafford doesn't play against him

820
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: very much, and they're a problem to decipher pre snap.

821
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: So whatever the Rams are gonna do, they're either gonna

822
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: do they're gonna call up, or they're gonna rely on

823
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford to change it or kind of get an

824
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: idea of what's going to happen pre snap. And we've

825
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: heard everybody say, who's played the Bills, poor year and

826
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: Hide make it hard to know what's going on in

827
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: the defense. On the defense, so we'll see if that

828
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: helps the Bills and get Stafford maybe to pat the

829
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: ball one extra time and allowing the pass rush to

830
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: get home. But there's no doubt the bill secondary is

831
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: going to get tested on the edge is big time.

832
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: And that theme continues with Alan on the tweet sheet,

833
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: who says keeping Cup in check is the key to victory.

834
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: He is in his prime and our best corner of

835
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: White is on the pup. I don't know that White

836
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: would have drawn him as an assignment all that much. Anyway,

837
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: Taron Johnson draws that assignment, and Taron Johnson's a pretty

838
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: dang good corner in his own right. Playing inside. He's

839
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: probably one of the top five nickel corners in the league. Yeah,

840
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: Cup's a handful. I don't think there's any question about that.

841
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,479
Speaker 1: I know we talked about this earlier in the week, Steve,

842
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't you anticipate, in an effort to help Taran that

843
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: they design the ridges to kind of wall off one

844
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: of his options on routes. In other words, instead of

845
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: giving him a two way go, you know, leverage it

846
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: in such a way where he only has one option

847
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: on his route run. Yeah, I mean that's all part

848
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 1: of it too. Or funnel him to help that doesn't

849
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: look like it's coming and you can try and defend

850
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: him by defending Stafford and getting Stafford baited into making

851
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: a throw he thinks is there. If you can get

852
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 1: inside their adjustments and you know where they want to

853
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: go with the football, if they feel pressure, then you

854
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: can jump those routes where you know his first read's

855
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: going to be that kind of thing. And obviously with Cup,

856
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. And this is why great receivers are

857
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: great receivers. They don't allow you to read their routes.

858
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: So Cup comes off and every route and the brilliance

859
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: of being a wide receiver at the NFL level is

860
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: making the defender think you're running a route that you're

861
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: not running. You're running a different route. And that's you know,

862
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, I mean, it's obvious. That's what a

863
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: fake is. But these guys don't let you get an

864
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: idea of whenever he does this, he's gonna do that,

865
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: and whenever he does that, he's gonna do this. That's

866
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: never the case with a great wide receiver. So you're

867
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna have your hands full with Cup. No question. They'll

868
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 1: double team him as much as they can. I think

869
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 1: in my mind it's a little easier to double team

870
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: a guy who's playing the slot closer to the ball

871
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: than it is anybody else because it's so easy to

872
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: see it before the snap when the guys in the

873
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: when the guy's outside, because the guy has to get

874
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: out there, he has to almost line up out there

875
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: to make sure he can get there to help inside,

876
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: it's easier to disguise. We'll see if the Bills can

877
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: do that. And pour your and hide are the key

878
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah. And the other thing too for Terren

879
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: Johnson is if you know you're not gonna make a

880
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: play on the ball to break up the pass, get

881
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: him down immediately. I mean, this guy we know was

882
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: the triple crown winner and receptions receiving yards and receiving

883
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: touchdowns last season, but he also led the league in

884
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: yards after the catch too, mainly to the volume, but

885
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: there's something there too. So if you're not going to

886
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: break up the pass, get him on the ground as

887
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: soon as you can, because he's also proficient at picking

888
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: up yards after the catch. All right, we got to

889
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: take a break here, But when Steve and I come back,

890
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: more of your thoughts on the tweet sheet in terms

891
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: of the keys to victory for the Bills tonight against

892
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: the Rams in the league's kickoff game and so Fy Stadium,

893
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: And you want to stay tuned because we're also going

894
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: to have the reigning Walter Payton Man of the Year.

895
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: They recently retired left tackle of the Rams, Andrew Whitworth,

896
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: joinments here in the second hour on One Bill's Live

Speaker 1: kick off, which is still a painful handful of hours away. Here,

902
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: my gosh, I don't know if I'm gonna make it.

903
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: Are we gonna pass out before we get there? We're

904
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: technically not a pregame show, but we're kind of a

905
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: pregame show, right, I mean sure we've been before the

906
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: game well yeah games today. Yeah. I was gonna say

907
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: we've been a pregame show now for the last eight months.

908
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: But finally we're gonna get a chance to see these

909
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: guys play. I'm um a lot of fun thinking about

910
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: what the how this game's turn gonna turn. We've chewed

911
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 1: up every aspect of this, you know, with Aaron Donald,

912
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey and the matchups go with him, Cooper cup Stafford,

913
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: and now with Sean McVay and his new contract extension

914
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: against you know, Sean McDermott. Wow, it's uh. I think

915
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be um and like take

916
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: the over in this game kind of thing. I think

917
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna both. I think it's gonna be a high

918
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: flying kind of game. I think both these clubs are

919
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna come out and really sling it. I think the

920
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: league is gonna give the officials a talking to and say, listen,

921
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: no illegal contact down down the field, keep the whole,

922
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: don't let the defenders hold, don't worry too much about

923
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman holding. You know, let these guys work

924
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: a little bit. It'll be interesting to see. Um. Then

925
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 1: you throw in Aaron Donald and Von Miller on both

926
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: sides of the football, and these guys, these offensive linemen

927
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: have got their hands full anyway. Um, there's just a

928
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: lot in this game. These are two really good football teams,

929
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: really built to be competitive now this year, and I

930
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,280
Speaker 1: think it's just gonna I think it's gonna be indicative

931
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: of how the entire season's going to go for the

932
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: entire league, You know what I mean. I mean, if

933
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: it comes out there and these guys right against these

934
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: two these are two top flight defenses statistically, So if

935
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 1: they come out and you know, get forty points hung

936
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: on them, you can bet other teams are gonna do

937
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, And the illegal contact will certainly be

938
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: under the microscope tonight. And for fans that might not

939
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: be familiar with what's going to be required for an

940
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 1: official to throw the flag, it is a two step

941
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: penalty because once they see the illegal contact by the

942
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: defensive back, in most cases the defensive back, I guess

943
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: it could be a linebacker. Also, the official that sees

944
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: that immediately has to turn his focus back to the pocket.

945
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: And if the quarterback still has the football in his

946
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: hand in the pocket, he can then throw the flag

947
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,720
Speaker 1: for illegal contact. If the quarterbacks out of the pocket,

948
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: the balls away something like that, it's too late. Can't

949
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: call illegal contact at that point. So you're really in

950
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, Steve, dependent on how well the

951
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: official can put his head on his swivel. Well, they

952
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: should be in position where it's just more about shifting

953
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: your eyes you know, from fifteen degrees from here over

954
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: to here. They should be in the position to do that.

955
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: Although they get into position they think it's gonna work,

956
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: and then the receiver runs a route that takes them

957
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: out of their vision line. That sometimes that happens as well.

958
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, here's the thing. Yeah they're gonna they're gonna

959
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: call it. And it has been in the past, and

960
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 1: we've all seen it where the quarterbacks will come down

961
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: and do the snap count and they'll wait till it

962
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: says zero before they snap the ball, where the official

963
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: will let that slide. Officials have done that in the

964
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: past with illegal contact, where they see the contact, they

965
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: look up and the quarterback is just releasing the ball.

966
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: So the contact happened when he did have the ball,

967
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: but he's just about he's the balls coming out of

968
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: his hand and the official go, I'm not calling it.

969
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: The league has said call that so and it doesn't

970
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: matter if the quarterback was drops back, looks left, looks left,

971
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:21,919
Speaker 1: looks left, throws left, and in the contact was right

972
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: and it was never gonna the ball is never gonna

973
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: come to the right side. But the guy defend. The

974
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: defenders still had some illegal contact still gonna be a penalty.

975
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: It has been in the past where they wouldn't have

976
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 1: called that either. So because it was on the back

977
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: side of the play. If the play, if it wasn't

978
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: going to affect the play in any way, shape or

979
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: form or affect the ability of the quarterback to continue

980
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: the play by coming back late or running out of

981
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 1: the pocket and getting there, they wouldn't call it. Now

982
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: that's changed. I just, you know, I hope it's not

983
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: one of those eighteen penalty fiascos that we've seen once

984
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: in a while. It shouldn't be because Carl Cheffers is

985
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: the head official tonight. It's his crew, and they are

986
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: typically near the bottom of the league in numbers of

987
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: flat number of flags throne. They were also one of

988
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: the officiating crews that had the fewest flags for defensive

989
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: pass interference. What happens with illegal contact is a completely

990
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: different story, but we'll have to wait and see. Back

991
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet and your thoughts on what will

992
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: be the key for victory for the Bills tonight against

993
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 1: the Rams. Seth says, stop their run game, pressure sacks

994
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: on Stafford to force bad throws because he'll make them,

995
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: and long sustain drives by seventeen in the offense. Can't

996
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 1: wait to see what Cook and Shakier bring to the table.

997
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: D Lines Campaign of Dominance begins tonight, Go Bills. I

998
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: am completely on board for the D Lines campaign of Dominance,

999
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: and as excited as I am about Von Miller is

1000
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: the next fan, I'm even more excited about those three

1001
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: big hosses they've added to ed Oliver's contingent there. Jordan Phillips,

1002
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: I'm pumped that he's back. And then Tim Settle and

1003
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: de Quan Jones, the guys that are going to do

1004
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: some of that dirty work and push the pocket. I am.

1005
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: I am all ready for that. Yeah, I would love

1006
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: to see that as well. And when when you control

1007
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, it's easier to control the game.

1008
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 1: If the Rams are in third and ten or third

1009
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: and twelve all night, it's going to be a long

1010
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: night for him. Now they've got the horses, they can

1011
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: go down and pick up third and longs of course,

1012
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,919
Speaker 1: but statistically it's not going to happen enough to win

1013
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: the game. That would be awesome. The Rams do a

1014
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: lot of stuff with their run game. They've got a

1015
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: nice stable or running backs, a couple of guys that

1016
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: can really go. But if if they can't move the

1017
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, it's not going to happen for him.

1018
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: And then that offense is going to be kind of

1019
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: trying to beat the Bills left handed then, and if

1020
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: you can get him into that, you got a chance.

1021
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: So let alone what the Bills are going to do offensively,

1022
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's a problem, no question about it. But I

1023
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, I just feel like with the atomic weapon

1024
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: that you have at quarterback and the new toys they've

1025
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: got in this offense, and I think too an offensive

1026
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: coordinator that's going to come in right away and try

1027
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: and say, you know, I'm the guy I think. I

1028
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: think it's a statement game for a lot of people

1029
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: on both sides, but I think for the Bills more

1030
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: so than anybody. Yeah, and Seth brought up Cook and Shakier.

1031
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: I think they will be on the field in some capacity.

1032
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: Whether it's as extensive as some fans might anticipate, I

1033
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: think is another thing. I think both will factor in

1034
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: the return game. I think we could see Cook on

1035
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: a kick return if there is one or two. Shakier

1036
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: it looks like he'll be the primary punt returner, so

1037
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: you know you'll see him there, and then I think

1038
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: after that it's a byproduct of how often do they

1039
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: go empty set, how often do they go ten personnel.

1040
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: Those kinds of things will I think largely lay out

1041
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: how much time Cook and Shakier get on the offensive

1042
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Specifically, it'll be interesting as well,

1043
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: who's going to be inactive for this game? You know

1044
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to pull off, yeah, peel off five guys.

1045
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: If they go with eight offensive linemen, that then they

1046
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: get forty eight guys. Is it gonna be Crowder? Is

1047
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: I think Crowder's up? Yeah? I do too. It could

1048
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,919
Speaker 1: be Tommy Doyle's a question mark, Okay, he's hurt, he's

1049
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: got a you know, his injury, a foot injury. Morris,

1050
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: of course, Quinton more So there's two, so you need

1051
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 1: three guys to sit. And if Morris probably a linebacker,

1052
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: you're probably only dressing five linebackers. So it's got to be, well,

1053
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be maybe it's bail inspector specter. Okay, there's one,

1054
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: so you need two more. Is it gonna be is

1055
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham or Shack lossing on a sack shack maybe, um,

1056
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: it's possible, and maybe one of the maybe one of

1057
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: the dbs. Maybe maybe a Damar Hamlin or somebody sits down.

1058
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you gotta have It's gonna be

1059
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: hard to pick to pick guys to sit outside of

1060
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: Quintin Morris and Tommy Doyle. All Right, we want to

1061
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: turn now to the reigning Walter Peyton, Man of the

1062
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: Year in the NFL, long time offensive tackle for the

1063
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals and the La Rams, had the rare opportunity

1064
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: to call it a career after winning a Super Bowl.

1065
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: Here now is Andrew Whitworth. Andrew, let's just get started

1066
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: right here. How how's retirement treating you? I see you're nice,

1067
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: a nice, You got a driver. Things must have been

1068
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: a nice step up for you after you quit playing football.

1069
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: You know what, It's been great. I got an opportunity

1070
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: to this morning to go to an NFL Character Playbook event,

1071
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: So looking forward to going and seeing some of the

1072
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: kids at the school, Harry Local in the Inglewood I mean,

1073
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: good morning. And then we got the big game tonight,

1074
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: so you know, it's a lot of that, just kind

1075
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: of hanging out doing a lot of things I've always

1076
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: loved to do on Tuesdays in the NFL, making some

1077
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: community visits and sending some lot of family time and

1078
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: doing a little coaching on my son's teams. And so

1079
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: it's been fun. Andrew, the Rams aren't paying you anymore,

1080
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: so they decided to pay your buddy, Rob Hamnstein. So

1081
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: got the extension yesterday three years, a little over thirty something.

1082
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: I know you're probably happy for him. What's been what's

1083
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: been the vibe about the old line after your departure,

1084
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: after Austin Corbus departure and free agency, what's been the

1085
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: vibe around that group coming into this season. I think

1086
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: really it's it's about, you know, obviously, when you have

1087
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: somebody like myself, anytime you have a team we have

1088
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 1: a really veteran offensive lineman, you just na actually kind

1089
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: of run the room a little bit because of your

1090
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: age and then also just how much they kind of

1091
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: look up to you in your career. And I was

1092
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,919
Speaker 1: in a similar situation of that when Willie Anderson left

1093
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati and after my first couple of years there.

1094
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: So I think for them it's like finding the guy

1095
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: who was going to step up and kind of lead

1096
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: the group. But I think Rob has definitely been that guy.

1097
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: He's been somebody who has been ready for that. He's

1098
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: a tremendous human being and a great player, and I

1099
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: think that's really been his role for them. And then

1100
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: you got, you know, obviously trying to feel that right

1101
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: guard spot it. I think for them they felt like

1102
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: they could do it in the house and they have

1103
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: with Coleman, Shelton and Joseph Noeboom. I have a lot

1104
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: of faith in the guy who's going to replace me.

1105
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: He's played really well when he's had opportunities, and I

1106
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: don't see that going any differently for him now as

1107
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: a starter. Well, Andrew, you you went into last year

1108
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: before the Super Bowl run with high expectations there everybody

1109
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: in the country thought you guys had a shot at

1110
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl. If not, how what do you

1111
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: think because the Bills are there this year, there's a

1112
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: ton of people thinking the Bills can go to and

1113
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl? What do you in your opinion?

1114
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been there. What do you think the

1115
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: best way to handle expectations like that are? How does

1116
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: a team get the most out of their season walking

1117
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: into it with such expectations. Yeah, I really think you

1118
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: look at their locker room and some of their personalities

1119
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: and they're even you know, just starting with the quarterback

1120
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen. I don't think it's gonna be a

1121
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: problem for them. I think the best thing you can

1122
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: do is, you know, really just be yourself and carry

1123
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: that swagger and that attitude that you belong and I

1124
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: think that that group really has that. Coach McDermot does

1125
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: a great job, you know, getting them prepared every week.

1126
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: There always look like a team that's ready to have

1127
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,479
Speaker 1: that opportunity to win, and no moments look too big

1128
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: for them. And so I think, to me, it's like

1129
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: continuing just believing yourself, believing the system, have that swagger

1130
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: and attitude that you know what, no matter how the

1131
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: season goes, there's gonna be ups, there's gonna be downs.

1132
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: The ultimate goal at the end of the day is

1133
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: to improve every week and to find a way to

1134
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: get ourselves in that tournament and then from their own

1135
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: we're just gonna let our talent, nobility go and I

1136
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: think they have the group to be able to do that.

1137
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: We seem more and more news trickling out as this

1138
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,439
Speaker 1: game gets closer and closer. We know that a lot

1139
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: was made of Matthew Stafford's throwing elbow coming into this season.

1140
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Apparently the word is his elbow is better now than

1141
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: it was at this time last year. So my question

1142
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: to you, since you were there, how did the coaching

1143
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: staff kind of shepherd Matthew through the season, Because I

1144
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: know Steve can probably tell you Layton Jim Kelly's career,

1145
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: he only threw on Thursdays for game weeks, So how

1146
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: did they manage him last year? And might they do

1147
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: the same thing this year? You know, I think, really

1148
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: you look at it, last year, people forget he had

1149
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: a thumb surgery in the offseason. He came back, he's

1150
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: eager to new offense, new team, you know, working his

1151
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: butt off, throwing a ton and kind of feels like,

1152
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of the things that kind of

1153
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: led to some of the issues. It's just you know,

1154
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: you're you're coming off thumb thumb surgery. You wanted to

1155
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: get out there on the field and prove that you

1156
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: belong And this big trade happened for a reason. And

1157
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: I think for him last year, he with it a

1158
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: ton of all season long. It was really something they've

1159
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: kept pretty quiet as much as they could, but he

1160
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: was in you know, a lot of pain last year

1161
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: and so then this year, I think it's definitely better

1162
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: than it was last year. So I think it's more

1163
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: of now this year it's becoming alarm just because they

1164
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: came into this season with all right, we have a

1165
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: plan from the beginning of how we're going to address that.

1166
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,479
Speaker 1: We're not going to let it get out of hand.

1167
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: And so it's really been more talked about because they've

1168
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: kind of started this plan where he doesn't practice certain

1169
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: days and they'll do more of that this season where

1170
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: maybe they just limit his days. But as far as

1171
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: him feeling good and be ready to roll and all that,

1172
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he feels great. He's excited to get out

1173
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: there and compete and defend that title. You know, this

1174
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: is a team in the Rams who went to a

1175
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Jared Goff at quarterback. Then the big

1176
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: trade you're talking about happens. Did what Matt Stafford bring

1177
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: last year that made such a difference And was that

1178
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: the deciding difference to put you over the top or

1179
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean there was other things too, O. B. J.

1180
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: Von Miller and all, you know, there's a lot of

1181
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: things that happened during that season that helped propel you

1182
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: guys forward. But what kind of difference did Stafford make

1183
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: the kind of guy he was, a kind of quarterback

1184
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: he was as opposed to Jared Goff and what he

1185
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: brought to the table. Yeah, I think with Matthew, you

1186
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: just saw what a confident, veteran quarterback who has all

1187
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: the skill and ability and is also just he's just

1188
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: a guy's guy. He's just one of those people that

1189
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: you just he's so tough. He never complains. He's always

1190
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: got a great attitude. He's got a sling at mentality

1191
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: like we're gonna go after this. I'm trying to put

1192
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: a ball in a hole no matter what. Like he

1193
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: just has that man. If the whole offense takes the

1194
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: same confidence, takes the same attitude to every single day,

1195
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: all of us are gonna be a whole lot better.

1196
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: And I think his influence in that way of just

1197
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: the mentality of let's just attack this thing. I've been

1198
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: in Detroit for as long as I have and been

1199
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: in a situation have been great, And I'm here in

1200
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: this moment and I'm not letting this slip out of

1201
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: my hand, and that was his attitude all year. That's

1202
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: how he led. He's a tremendous dad, husband, everything just

1203
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: how he does it is pretty special. Man. He is

1204
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: a great character and he's a great and I think

1205
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that you don't know that

1206
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: what that's like when you find those guys until you

1207
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: around him and then you're like, man, this is totally different.

1208
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: And that's really what he's been for that football team.

1209
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson, we saw, is not going to play in

1210
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: this game. So that means guys like Ben Scronic and

1211
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: two two atwell kind of fill the void. What can

1212
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: you tell us about those two guys kind of filling

1213
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: that void and maybe what they offer because they don't

1214
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: seem to be quite the same receiver as Van. Yeah, No,

1215
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: they're definitely definitely different. I think that really with Ben Spronick,

1216
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have probably somebody who fits more in the

1217
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: role of what Robert Woods for the offense was. He's

1218
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: going about to move around, he's gonna be blocked in space.

1219
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 1: He's a great blocker. He's a team's player, so you

1220
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: can already kind of know he just plays with physicality.

1221
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: He can run. He's a big guy. He can do

1222
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: some of the similar things that Cooper cup can do,

1223
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: so you're going to see them as far as in

1224
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: the run game and getting him involved in some of

1225
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: those things, kind of be in that receiver slash time

1226
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: end type of stuff at times. He's gonna be able

1227
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: to do that stuff. And then two two is more

1228
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: just your explosive guy. He's taking the top off, you know,

1229
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hand, let it run. You know,

1230
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: he's under size, He's not a big guy by any means,

1231
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,919
Speaker 1: but he can fly. He can absolutely roll. So he's

1232
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: going to be more of a guy that you probably

1233
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,479
Speaker 1: have situational stuff where you're trying to get him the ball.

1234
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: But Ben's a guy who can really play down in

1235
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: and down out. He kind of execute the offense in

1236
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: a similar fashion that Alan Robinson and really Cooper Cupwood

1237
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: in the sense that he can he can catch, he

1238
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: can run routes, good routes and stuff. He could run

1239
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: a little better than you would think for how big

1240
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: he is. He can roll, but mainly he can get

1241
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: involved in that run game and be a part of

1242
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: what makes Sean mcveay's offense so good. Everything looks the

1243
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: same everything kind of he presents the same way, but

1244
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: it can be all different plays and Ben can execute

1245
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: those things. One of the guys since the last these

1246
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: two teams were last on the football field in the

1247
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: playoffs last year, one guy is probably going to affect

1248
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: both sidelines in some way. Von Miller, what are your

1249
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: thoughts about Vaughan being moving over on the other side

1250
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: of the field. What's what are the rams miss, what

1251
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: are the bills get? How do you think it's going

1252
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: to affect this game? You know? I think Von is

1253
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: one of those guys that, knowing him for a really

1254
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: long time, getting to play against him for a long time,

1255
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: I always had a ton of respect for him as

1256
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: a player and then just off the field, just a

1257
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: good guy and a good friend. But being in a

1258
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: locker room with him for the first time last year,

1259
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: I was blown away at one a tremendous leader he

1260
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: was and just what a guy that brought people along

1261
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: with him the whole entire time in the locker room

1262
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: and was willing to really challenge guys regardless of how

1263
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: big or small they were for the football team. He

1264
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: didn't care. He's willing to challenge him and I thought

1265
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things ever and they featured it,

1266
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: you know, in our story about our season, is that

1267
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: his ability to challenge ad was so rare. I mean,

1268
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: no one had ever done that, really, and to challenge

1269
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: him to talk more and to be more vocal and

1270
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, confident in the fact that he's the best

1271
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: player on the planet, like talk about it, you know,

1272
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: and talk about what you expect from guys. And so

1273
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,879
Speaker 1: I think what's gonna be really great for the Buffalo

1274
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 1: Bills is Vonn's not only going to produce in the

1275
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: football field, but who he's kind of become, i'm off

1276
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: the field and in the locker room is a guy

1277
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 1: who's willing to challenge the best of the best on

1278
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: that team that it's about how we play, it's about

1279
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 1: how we compete, it's about wanting to be in those

1280
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: big moments and executing in them. And so I think

1281
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get production on the field, and you're

1282
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: also going to get a guy that's gonna lead off

1283
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: of it in the locker room and really challenge guys

1284
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: to be at their best. And I think that's what

1285
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: really is gonna make him special fed organization. Before we

1286
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,640
Speaker 1: let you go, Andrew, we do have to ask you

1287
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: there's another good friend of yours who's also been retired

1288
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:31,759
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, who's a friend of ours

1289
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: as well, your college roommate, Kyle Williams. Has he been

1290
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 1: in your ear to get down there for duck hunting

1291
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 1: in Louisiana? You know, listen, Kyl and I were college roommates.

1292
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: We grew up as rivals in high school. You know,

1293
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: compete in all kinds of sports. That's my brother. You know.

1294
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: We both have a ton of kids, way too many.

1295
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: And you know, our wives they are just absolutely just queens.

1296
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: They're unbelievable just to help us the way they do

1297
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,600
Speaker 1: and have supported us over the years. But I and

1298
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: Kyle don't get along off the field because he's a hunter.

1299
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,600
Speaker 1: He likes to do all the hunting stuff. I'm you know,

1300
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,799
Speaker 1: I grew up in Louisiana, but I'm like the furthest

1301
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 1: thing from it. You know, I don't like to hunt.

1302
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: I like to sit at the beach and sip a

1303
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:15,759
Speaker 1: nice cult drink. So we're definitely different in that aspect.

1304
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 1: But that's what we're brothers, and we're totally different. So

1305
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: it's great Andrew Whitworth, former Rams left tackle, former Bengals

1306
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: left tackle, Super Bowl champion with the Rams last year.

1307
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. We really appreciate you and enjoy

1308
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 1: this game tonight. It's gonna be a good one. It's

1309
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a great one. Man. It was an honor

1310
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: to come on. Thank you man. Y'all have a great day.

1311
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Steve Tasker, Chris Brown, coming back.

1312
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 1: Catch your One Bill's Live presented by Kalid to help.

1313
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's raad. All right, Welcome back One

1314
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here on a game

1315
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: day Thursday, today night, prime time, kick off weekend, and

1316
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: time now for us to build a game plan. Presented

1317
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 1: by United Rentals. United Rentals is the exclusive and official

1318
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 1: construction equipment rental partner of the Buffalo Bills. We turned

1319
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: to one Stephen as Tasker for the game plan tonight.

1320
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: For the Bills offense game plan tonight, I think it's

1321
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 1: it begins obviously with Josh out in the offensive line.

1322
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 1: I think you give Josh every chance to win this

1323
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,640
Speaker 1: game by throwing the football. But I think one of

1324
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: the things that they've got to do better is when

1325
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,640
Speaker 1: they want to run it, run it better than they

1326
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: were able to a year ago. Make sure the defense

1327
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 1: has to respect the line of scrimmage. If they can't

1328
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: do that, I don't have a problem running the thing

1329
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: forty times tonight instead of throwing it. I don't think

1330
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,759
Speaker 1: that'll happen. I think it's more likely that they're gonna

1331
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: throw it forty plus times and throw and run it

1332
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: maybe less than twenty. And if that is that's the case,

1333
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: I think the Bills in this game. I think the

1334
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,679
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna have to score at the very base

1335
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 1: line thirty points. I think that's the direction the lead's going.

1336
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: I think the jet I mean, the Rams are gonna

1337
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 1: feel like they have to do that. I think the

1338
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: Bills have to score at least that's the baseline. Once

1339
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: you get to thirty, you got to feel like you're

1340
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: you're ready to start scoring for the game now. It

1341
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if the Bills put up thirty five

1342
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 1: plus or forty points in this game, because the Rams

1343
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: are gonna be right there as well. I think this

1344
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be an offensive game plan. You have to

1345
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,600
Speaker 1: be aggressive. I wouldn't be surprised at anytime if the

1346
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: Bills go on the other side of the fifty and

1347
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: it's less than five yards on fourth down, go ahead

1348
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 1: and give it a shot, go for it. I think

1349
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: that's the kind of game this has to be. And

1350
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: I think you have to come out and be ultra aggressive,

1351
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: and I don't think I don't think anybody's gonna fault

1352
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: you for that, even if if you don't hit on

1353
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of your fourth down attempts. I think

1354
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,640
Speaker 1: that's the kind of game this has to be. I

1355
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: think Josh needs to throw it. I think turnovers are

1356
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 1: going to be crucial. You can't have any drop passes

1357
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: or I mean like tipped passes for interceptions. You can't

1358
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 1: have the running backs cough it up at all. I

1359
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:06,640
Speaker 1: think the one unknown for the Bills offense is going

1360
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: to be this James Cook. The guys a different kind

1361
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 1: of back than the Bills have had in the last decade.

1362
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 1: If they can find a way to use him and

1363
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: use him effectively, that the Rams can't matter. And I

1364
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 1: don't care if it's Bobby Wagner whoever. If the Rams

1365
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: linebackers who or d lineman or safeties can't keep up

1366
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: with James Cook, feed that guy the ball. I don't

1367
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: care if it's his first game as a pro. That's

1368
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: where this game has to go. The Bills have to

1369
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: be ultra aggressive offensively. They've got the guys that can

1370
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: overcome it. You got to come out and spread them

1371
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 1: out with formations and different personnel and find out what

1372
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: they're thinking and then exploit it. You've got the guys

1373
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: that can win those matchups. Jalen Ramsey or not, Aaron

1374
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: Donald or not. Those guys can't guard five guys at

1375
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: once out in the pattern, and they can't chase and

1376
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: they can't they can't chase down Josh all In every place.

1377
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: So I think that's the key. I think Josh Allen's

1378
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: gonna throw this football a ton, But if the Bills

1379
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: find they can run it and run it effectively, you

1380
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: can bet that that will be a bigger part of it.

1381
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: But it's not going to be the majority of it.

1382
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: I think, Josh, you're gonna throw for three Bills, and

1383
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: the Bills have got to score thirty plus points in

1384
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 1: this game. Okay, So that is the offensive game plan.

1385
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, I think you

1386
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: have to put your faith in all of the money

1387
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: you invested in your defensive front. You spent money there

1388
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: because you knew it needed to be better. It should

1389
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: be better based on the early indicators we saw in

1390
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: the preseason limited action though it might have been, and

1391
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: I believe because of that, you trust that your front

1392
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: four can get the requisite pressure necessary to impact the

1393
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: timing of the Rams passing game. I think you also

1394
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: depend on your defensive front to force long down in

1395
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: distant situations by winning early rundowns, and if you can

1396
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: do that, that allows you to cover up more of

1397
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: what you might be lacking on the back end. Knowing

1398
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Kaye Elam and maybe even Christian Benford

1399
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: rotating in at the CB two position. If you can

1400
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: do that, you can commit seven to coverage more often

1401
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: than not in this game, and then I think that

1402
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 1: tips the balance in favor of the Bills Defensively. I'm

1403
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: not saying they're going to completely shut down the Rams offense,

1404
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: but I think you'll at least be able to get

1405
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: some critical third down stops for some punts where your

1406
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 1: offense can get ahead of their offense in terms of

1407
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 1: opportunities to score the football, and that can enable you

1408
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: to get ahead on the scoreboard. So trust your front four,

1409
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: trust them to get home, roll those eight guys through

1410
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: and go let them meet. Yeah, I would agree with that.

1411
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 1: I think that's the that's the biggest difference in the

1412
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: Bills defense from a year ago. And I think it's

1413
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: also the biggest changes the Bram's offense have gone through

1414
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: as well. Those the front offensive line. Witworth's not there,

1415
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 1: haven Stein is now in. Note to Boom is in,

1416
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: So you gotta che test those guys out. Yeah, I'm

1417
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: totally with you, Brownie. I think the Bill's defensive front

1418
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: is going to be key. You've got to have poor

1419
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: year and hide hitting on all cylinders too. They've got

1420
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: to help Dane Jackson and Kayer Elam out on the

1421
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: outside because those guys are going to be put under

1422
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: an enormous amount of pressure with formations, shifts, motions, different personnel.

1423
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna make these guys jump through hoops mentally pre snap,

1424
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: I think, and hopefully they can get them to bust

1425
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: to cover. If you're the Rams, you're trying to get

1426
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 1: them to bust to coverage and we'll see if they

1427
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: can if they can hold tight, And I think the

1428
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: safeties are going to be crucial and making sure those

1429
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: guys are lined up and know who they've got. So

1430
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be going on in the back end,

1431
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 1: but it'll be rendered irrelevant if the front four can dominate.

1432
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 1: That's building a game plan presented by United Rentals. We

1433
01:16:56,479 --> 01:17:02,839
Speaker 1: turn now to our tail eight plans by you, the fans.

1434
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,719
Speaker 1: As we started this a little bit earlier in the show,

1435
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: Tailgate Friday on a Thursday, and Rock lacks Freak says

1436
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: he's heading to his favorite grill in Webster, New York

1437
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,799
Speaker 1: to watch with his fifteen year old, an annual tradition

1438
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,679
Speaker 1: that we demanded we continue even though it's a school night.

1439
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: How could I say no, Let's go Buffalo? I like it? Yeah, yeah,

1440
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 1: they gotta. You gotta deal with it. Man, you got

1441
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 1: like five primetime games this year. You're gonna you're your

1442
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: Sunday at one kind of routine. Yeah. If you're in it,

1443
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: you gotta hang in there with it. You know. Those

1444
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: night games make it tough. School night be damned. That's right.

1445
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 1: I love it. Ronnie says, I'm the only Bills fan

1446
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: on the block, but great neighbors who will be rooting

1447
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 1: right alongside me during our block party, go bills. It

1448
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,600

01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 1: all Bills fans. Good on you. Yeah, wherever you might be.

1450
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah that is Mike down in Lake Mary,

1451
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: Florida says, we've got thirty guests coming over for smoked

1452
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: wings and homemade brick Of and Pizza. Signed me up

1453
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, that sounds great. I like that. Have

1454
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: you ever had smoked wings, Steve you sure? Yeah, Yeah,

1455
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: they're great. They're really going And obviously it depends on

1456
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: the recipe and how good the guy is making them.

1457
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: But man, you have good Yeah, they're they're awesome. They're

1458
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 1: all got to be careful there because you don't you

1459
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: don't want to go too long because then they get

1460
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: all dry and crusty. No, but if you get them,

1461
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: you can crispy them up, and it's the it's the

1462
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: flavor that does it. Yeah, you're right. You can mess

1463
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: anything up if you want, but if you do it right, man,

1464
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 1: there's nothing like them. They're very good. Yeah, I wouldn't

1465
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: mind hitting that place. Brick Of and Pizza signed me up.

1466
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: Benny says, heading to La now it will be a

1467
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: bill Mafia home game. Oh, let's go. It is gonna

1468
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: be interesting Steve to see what the percentage of fans

1469
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: are in the stands that are clearly rooting for Buffalo.

1470
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: This is a primetime game, big time venue. You can

1471
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: make the argument it's the most glitzy city on the

1472
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 1: Bills road schedule. A lot of Bills fans as soon

1473
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: as the schedule came out, said I'm going to the

1474
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: opener and yeah, I'm expecting big numbers. Well, it was

1475
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: either the opener or where you're gonna go, Detroit, you know,

1476
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean so, yeah, Baltimore may be a nice destination

1477
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 1: that the Bills fans don't need to go to once

1478
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 1: in a while. That's a nice little inner harbor there,

1479
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: But no, man, La is the one and plus having

1480
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: the opening game of the season on a Thursday where

1481
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 1: you can skip Friday and go and stay the weekend. Yeah,

1482
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 1: you knew this was gonna be a big hit. And

1483
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: here's the over, here's the you know, if you had

1484
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: a if if we can't do this kind of stuff.

1485
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 1: But you know, people are out there betting on how

1486
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 1: long it will be on the national broadcast before Al

1487
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 1: Michaels said, is it I guess it's Al Michaels, right, No,

1488
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:09,679
Speaker 1: it's it's Mike Arrico. Before Mike Tarico mentions how many

1489
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: Bills fans are in the building, Is it going to

1490
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 1: be in the open or will it be in the

1491
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 1: first quarter? Or will he wait until there's something that

1492
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: Bills fans have to cheer about and then notice it.

1493
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: When's it gonna be? It might be all of the above,

1494
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: or doesn't happen at all, doesn't happen at all. I

1495
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: think it happens. I think it definitely happens. I don't

1496
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: know if it happens in the show open, but I

1497
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: think if the defense can send the Rams three and

1498
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: out or something, or they can get him to jump

1499
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 1: on a false start, they're immediately going to go that way.

1500
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: But think about a Brownie pre game, in the pregame

1501
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,719
Speaker 1: show leading up to the broadcast. You don't think Bills

1502
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: fans out on the plaza. They're at so far jumping

1503
01:20:55,320 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: through tables and gonna make the open? Well yeah, I

1504
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 1: mean right, well you think you think they'll be filming

1505
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 1: that in the parking lots? Yeah, they got to. They're

1506
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: not doing their job. You know they will, you know

1507
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 1: they will that's that's fine, man, Yeah, that's there's those guys.

1508
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna have people out there with cameras looking for

1509
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 1: that stuff, and they're they're gonna get wound up for that.

1510
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 1: Will be? Will there be? Here's a better question. Will

1511
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 1: a table jumper be in the open or in the

1512
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: pregame show in any way, shape or form? Okay, will

1513
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: that happens? That would be a great Yes, that's a

1514
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 1: great problem there. I think say yes, yeah, I think

1532
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:50,880

Speaker 1: save it and then not be able to use it. Yeah,

1535
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: and I want and you have to believe too, Steve.

1536
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: With the NFL network right across the street, they're gonna

1537
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: have their own people out there shooting the parking lot

1538

1545
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 1: that from commercials, right, I mean, even if they don't

1546
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: talk about it. Oh yes. But the question is does

1547
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 1: Mike Tarico. Are are the bills fans present out there

1548
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: enough for Mike Tarico to mention it on the broadcast

1549
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: when something happens and it sounds like a home game

1550
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: for Buffalo, well he say something like yeah, if they're

1551

Speaker 1: audibly recognizable, he will absolutely mention it. Yes, I don't

1552
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: think there's any question about that. So that's yeah, absolutely,

1553
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 1: last one on Tailgate Friday tweet sheet from Jordan going

1554
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 1: with Sloppy Joe's and homemade fries. Something tells me Jordan's

1555
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 1: got an air fry yeah, or or he's or he's

1556
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 1: gotta yeah deep front, what's the last time you had

1557
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: a Sloppy Joe Steve, It's been a minute, not too long,

1558
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: it's been a minute, been a minute. Yeah, I want

1559
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: to say about I haven't had one about three or

1560
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: four years. Yeah, that's about I was gonna say exact

1561
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,679
Speaker 1: same things. It hasn't been like a decade, but it's

1562
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: been maybe pre COVID. Yeah, I'm probably in the same boat, right,

1563
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: Probably in the same boat. Actually might have been a

1564
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,960
Speaker 1: might have been a COVID meal, right, get the ground

1565
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 1: beef out, throw the throw the you know, Sloppy Joe

1566
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: mix in and just do you know, for an easy meal,

1567
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 1: And I couldn't see that happening. Maybe twenty twenty was

1568
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: the year I last one I had. That's an interesting

1569
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: go to choice though, kickoff weekend. I mean there's a

1570
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 1: myriad of options. Yeah, that's got land you land on

1571
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Sloppy Joe's. That's gotta be a that's gotta be a

1572
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: tradition thing, right, It's gotta be his thing, right, I hope.

1573
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: So otherwise, what is that? Is that a lazy move

1574
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: going Sloppy Joe's because it's so easy. I'm not gonna

1575
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 1: look down my nose on it because I don't know

1576
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: the background of it, but off the top, if that's

1577

1593
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: we we may have to. Maybe he didn't get to grow. Man,

1594
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 1: here's here's my here's my theory. Jordan late to the

1595
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: party in terms of preparing for game day. It's on

1596
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday. All of a sudden, it's on him. Never

1597
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: got to the grocery store, goes into the cupboard. Oh geez,

1598
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: cannon manwich and some potatoes. Right all right, I guess

1599
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 1: it's sloppy Joe's and homemade. Let me just say this.

1600
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: I'll just say this, if the game was off his

1601
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: radar until today. For what he's gonna cook, he deserves

1602
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 1: to have. He deserves loppy Jose and Fry. I mean

1603
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 1: you and I. You and I have been eyeballs deep

1604
