Chris Brown Steve 3 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: Tasker with you. 4 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: Players back on the practice field, beginning to game installation, 5 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: game plan installation for Sunday's game against the Saints. 6 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: This is where we always say the preparations began in earnest, earnest, 7 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: in earnest. Yes, I'm sure there is an earnestness to 8 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: their preparation. Sure, it felt like a long time since 9 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: we've talked to Sean McDermott. 10 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 2: He spoke today, that's right, and we'll get to some 11 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: of his comments in just a second. We should tell 12 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: you right off the bat that this week's home game 13 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: against the Saints is presented by Collida Health, the official 14 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, and there are some 15 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: news and notes here. First and foremost, we'll get to 16 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: the practice updates. Bill's Practice Updates presented by Leecom your 17 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Coach McDermott provided 18 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: an update on non participants for practice today, those being 19 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: at Oliver with his ankle injury, Matt Malana with his 20 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: peck injury, and Spencer Brown is a new ad with 21 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: a calf injury sustained in the Miami game. Coach mc 22 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: dermott said all three are improving and trending in the 23 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: right direction. Whether or not that means they'll play on 24 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: Sunday obviously still to be determined. Meanwhile, no firm tie 25 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: table on a return for kicker Tyler Bass. McDermott said 26 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 2: they have no grasp on whether he'll return in one. 27 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: Week, two weeks, three weeks, so. 28 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: Still sounds like a pretty cloudy picture there with his 29 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: hip and groin injuries. Max Hairston will fulfill his four 30 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 2: week minimum on injured reserve after this week's game against 31 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: the Saints, so coach McDermott was asked today about his 32 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: progress and likelihood of returning to the active roster as 33 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: soon as next week. Coach was pretty direct in lowering 34 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: expectations in light of all the time that Harston has missed, 35 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: which essentially was all but a week of training camp, 36 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: the entire preseason, and the first month here of the 37 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: regular season. 38 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: So it sounds like. 39 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: It is going to be a slow roadback by design 40 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 2: for Max Harrison here and not clear if that's going 41 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: to begin next week or if it's going to be 42 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: later than that. 43 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: So we'll have to see where it goes. 44 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: But I think it's safe to say they are going 45 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: to be very slow and deliberate in working him back 46 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: into the fold. 47 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 3: Here. 48 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: There is not a race in any sense to throw 49 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: him on the football field. It's interesting if we think 50 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: about this, Steve, because last year Cole Bishop was in 51 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: a similar boat. He did not He did not miss 52 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 2: this much time he was backed by like week two 53 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 2: last year. 54 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: He did not go on ir at the be Remember 55 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: they were forced to put him in the lineup in 56 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: Week five when the guys, when all those guys got injured. Hey, 57 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: he started in Week five against the Texans on the road. 58 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: Harston's reminiscent of it, no question about it. But he's 59 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: been out for significantly longer than Cole Bishop was, and 60 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a slow ramp up, very slow 61 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: ramp up. 62 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: I mean, if this was a five year vet healthy, Okay, 63 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: get back into practice. Oh you're good, Okay, you're playing 64 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: this week. Right, For a rookie that's never played an 65 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: NFL regular season game, it is a much different animal, 66 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: that's right now. 67 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: He has been in the building. He's been around, he's 68 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: been going to meetings and doing on but he hasn't 69 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: taken a single rep of practice. He goes to meetings 70 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: with the DBS and goes through all of that, so 71 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: some of the mental stuff he's probably catching up with, 72 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: but physical reps are non existent, and he hasn't played 73 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: any football for two months. So it's gonna be a minute. 74 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a minute. Yeah, So I'm rightfully, So, 75 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: I mean I'm not. No, Yeah, he's not. It's not 76 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: like he's like not one of those guys who doesn't 77 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: like to play. It's not like that. 78 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: It's a hard position, yeah, And it's a ligament injury, 79 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: you know, which takes time to heal up and get 80 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 2: back to being one hundred percent, and then it's building 81 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: a level of conditioning that gets him back to quote 82 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: unquote game shape, which as we know, is different than 83 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 2: just being in good cardiovascular shape. Game shape is something 84 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: entirely different. 85 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: And you think about it when you click in the 86 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: adrenaline of being in a game. I that used to 87 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: happen to me all I'd stand on the sidelines for 88 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: gosh years. I stood on the sidelines and only later 89 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: in my career, did I start to get plugged in 90 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: and start to go into a game. The adrenaline rush 91 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: you get when you step on the field in a 92 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: moment where you didn't really know if you're gonna be 93 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: on the field. I ran and I was in shape. 94 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: I ran practice the whole thing. You ran two plays 95 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: as a wide out and I was like, oh my gosh, 96 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: just kill me now, I can't even breathe, or somebody 97 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: sucked the air out of the stadium. The adrenaline of 98 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: that as well. It's it's a different animal when you 99 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: think about think about what you would feel like your 100 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: your life's long drink. You're a wonmber one raptic. You've 101 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: been waiting. You see, you're in the team. You're in 102 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: the locker room here and now here you go. You're 103 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: in Yeah, give me a paper bag to breathe into. 104 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: It's it's that's as big a factors, different as anything. Yeah, 105 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: just pump the brakes. He'll get there when he's ready, 106 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: And when he's ready, he's going to be a really 107 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: good player, I think still. I mean, he's still the 108 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: same player he was two months ago, and you know, 109 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: we just give him a chance to get ready for it. 110 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think what everyone should do based on 111 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 2: how coach McDermot addressed this is slow and steady is 112 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: going to set the pace here. It's pretty clear to 113 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: me that is their mo with him in this particular case. 114 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: This is the part of the you know, the finger 115 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: the culture we always talk about with the Buffalo Bills. 116 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: It's a real thing. The players really appreciated. Word has 117 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: gotten out that they care about the guys. They treat 118 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: him like they're supposed to. This is the frustrating part 119 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: about that. This is not a team that's going to go, 120 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: you know what, go out and give it a try. 121 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go. You know, we're gonna plug you 122 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: in and see what, you know, sink or swim. They 123 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: don't do that there. They do everything they can. Of course, 124 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 1: they did it with Josh as a quarterback. They're setting 125 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: him up to be successful when he finally does hit 126 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: the field. That's the frustrating part about doing it the 127 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: right way right, because it takes long. It takes longer, 128 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: you have to be paid. 129 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: Award on the back end usually is much more significant. 130 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: This is the hard part about the culture conversation. It's 131 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: when they when they treat these guys better than we 132 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: have seen players treated other places. And you know you 133 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: gotta wait. 134 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: Yep. 135 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: So it looks like even if he's off, even if 136 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: he gets moved off of injured reserve next Tuesday, right, 137 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone should anticipate he's gonna move into 138 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: the lineup. He might not even have a jersey the 139 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: first week back on game day, right, right, might be. 140 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: Healthy and active. Yeah, and you can bet too, they're 141 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: gonna say, all right, you're gonna go up. Let's let's 142 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: see you run down on a kickoff or take a 143 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: under rep on Brown that kind of thing. Let's put 144 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: you out there and you can rush the punt off 145 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: the edge. Maybe let's get you in the field, get 146 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: you on the field, get you acclimated, to get you 147 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: into your your game day routine. McDermott spoke about that 148 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: today as well, that the rarity of a one o'clock 149 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon start is a different game day routine for 150 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: every guy on the squad. Yeah, because it's the first 151 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: home game they've had at home at a one o'clock 152 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: time slot. So the game day routine routine is going 153 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: to be different and for a guy like if Max 154 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: Harrison gets plugged in or any of these other guys 155 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: that are hurt like Ogun Joby and Hoyt and all 156 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: these guys that are coming back in a couple of weeks, 157 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: it's a it's a real thing getting a game day 158 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: routine where you get to the stadium at this time, 159 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: you have time, you know, you do this at this 160 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: time that at that time, all of that goes into 161 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: the stew So when Harrison is healthy, they got to 162 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: all that has to be figured out by him.

He is seeking a second opinion, 177 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: but he's unlikely to play this weekend. Suffered a quad injury, 178 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: so probably going to miss the game on Sunday. Meanwhile, 179 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: quarterback Drew Brees receiver Larry Fitzgerald among those picked in 180 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: their first year of eligibility as two of the nominees 181 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: among the Modern era players for the twenty twenty six 182 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 2: Pro Football Hall of Fame class. Breeze and Fitzgerald were 183 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: two of the most prolific producers in the passing game 184 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: in NFL history, Breeze second all time in yards passing 185 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: and touchdowns, Fitzgerald's second in career receptions and receiving yards. 186 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: Those two are expected to sail. 187 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 2: In to the Hall of Fame with a good chance 188 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: to be first ballot guys. Eleven other players in their 189 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: first year of eligibility were picked among the one hundred 190 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: and twenty eight Modern era nominees for this year's class, 191 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 2: including former Bills running backs Lashawn McCoy and Frank Gore. 192 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: You forget one year with Frank Gore? Yeah, I mean 193 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: there's some other Bills. 194 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: On It's kind of cool to think about. Frank Gore 195 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: and Lashawn McCoy were both Buffalo Bills for a hot minute. Yeah, 196 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: Lashawn had a nice little stretch here when he was 197 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: here for three years, right, I mean he played well 198 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: for this Frank. 199 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, the Bills back to back years were number 200 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: one in the league in rushing. 201 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: When I heard that, remember that's when they traded also 202 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: Kiko Alonso to Philly and got Lashan McCoy back. And 203 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: I heard that they got Lashawn, I couldn't believe it. 204 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: I'd I had done Monday night football for Westwood one 205 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: on the sidelines of some old NFC East games when 206 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: he was with Philly Philly in Washington or Philly in 207 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: Dallas or Philly and the Giants won. You know, I 208 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: saw Lashawan McCoy play a handful of times, and I'm 209 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: telling you what he was at field level, Lashawn was 210 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: well he's not nominated for the Hall of Fame, of course, 211 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: he's he was a special player. And when the Bills 212 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: got him in that trade, I remember thinking, are you 213 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: that's no. I couldn't believe it. 214 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think there were a lot of people 215 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 2: that back then, I mean, you had the legend of 216 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: Kiko after one year of enormous production. 217 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: But you look back at that trade. The Bills unequivocally 218 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: won that. Oh yeah, it was not close. 219 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: They took advantage of Chip Kelly, who was the head 220 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: coach of the Eagles and was wholly familiar with Keiko 221 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 2: Alonso as a player because he coached him at Oregon. 222 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: And as the story goes, the Eagles called the Bills 223 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 2: and said, hey, would you be interested in Leshawn McCoy 224 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: And the Bills would be like, yeah, what do you 225 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: want for him? And he said, well you're looking for 226 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: a player? Yeah, and I know that. Doug Whaley told him, hey, 227 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: look at our roster, tell me who you're interested in, 228 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 2: Like it was pretty much open season on the Bills roster, 229 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 2: and he said Keiko Alonzo and Bing Bang Boom done 230 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 2: straight up. And Keiko, unfortunately, who already had an ACL 231 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: tear in his college, would have another one and then 232 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: had another injury, went to the Dolphins and his career 233 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: was over probably three four years later. Yeah, you know, 234 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: Lashawn's time here, as you said, wasn't super long, but 235 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: it was very, very productive. 236 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: So there you go. 237 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that little trip down memory lane we just had there, 238 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: there you go. That was something else all from the 239 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame story. Hall of Fame nominees. 240 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: I think Lashawn McCoy is a very interesting case. Steve 241 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: Frank Gore will get in just because of the yards 242 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: he accumulated. I think it was third all time in rushing. 243 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: It used to be, it used to be that they 244 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: were there were some voters on that panel that were 245 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: kind of against what they called aggregators, guys who just 246 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: played a long time. Charlie Jo Frank is that. Yes, 247 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: Charlie Joyner was a guy like as a receiver. They thought, 248 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, they he played for so long that of 249 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: course he's going to have big numbers, right and that 250 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: voters didn't like that for some reason. But he finally 251 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: got in and rightfully so so yeah, I'm with you. 252 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: I think Frank Gore does get in. I think it's 253 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: a little different view of those kind of numbers. 254 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: These I mean, he played sixteen seasons, but he has 255 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: nine one thousand yard rushing seasons, and he played in 256 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: an era where the running game kind of went away 257 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: right in the second half of his career, so to 258 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: still have nine one thousand yard rushing seasons in his career. 259 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: Do you want to know the coolest thing about his career? 260 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: What's that he played sixteen seasons. 261 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: His career rushing yardage total sixteen thousand yards. 262 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: There you go, that's cool, exactly like dead on the number. 263 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: Let's go, sixteen years, sixteen thousand rushing yards. I think 264 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: that's the coolest thing ever. Yeah, yeah, it's uh Frank 265 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: gorg just yeah. I just think there's just no way 266 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: you keep a guy like that out now. Leshawn McCoy, 267 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: that's an interesting guy because his numbers. He didn't get 268 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: to twelve thousand, right, he didn't get to twelve thousand yards. 269 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: Typically been the mark to get into the Hall of Fame. 270 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: There's only one running back I think in the history 271 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: of the league who is not in the Hall of 272 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: Fame with twelve thousand rushing yards or more, and I 273 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: think it's Ricky Waters. 274 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: Is he in yet? No, he's not. He's another Philly 275 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: guy too, But he's. 276 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: The only guy in league history with over twelve thousand 277 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: rushing yards who is not in the Pro Football Hall 278 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: of Fame. 279 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: Lashawn as we remember when he was here seven one 280 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: hundred right now. 281 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: So he came up nine hundred yards short of the 282 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: perceived tipping point to really garner serious consideration for the 283 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. 284 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: So I'm curious. I think he'll get a land on him. 285 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: I think he'll get some consideration for sure. Twelve years 286 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: is a running back, and he was very highly productive 287 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: deep into his career. His last year was twenty twenty. 288 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: Of course, that's what all of these guys were. He 289 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: had that with Tampa. He only played, he played in 290 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: ten games, didn't start any of them, but he. 291 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: Played twelve years worth a thousand yard rushing seasons and 292 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: they were way over one thousand yards almost. 293 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. His big year was twenty thirteen. He had sixteen 294 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: hundred and seven yards rushing in Philly, of course. Yeah, 295 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: twenty one hundred and forty six total from scrimmage that year. Yeah. 296 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: He played on five different teams Philly, Buffalo, Kansas City. 297 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: And he got two rings the last two years of 298 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: his career, four teams. Yeah, one in Kansas City and 299 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: then another one in Tampa. 300 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: So that was that was a good career, a very 301 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: good career, And now he's up for the whole of fame. 302 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: I think he'll have a look at it, but I 303 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be Frank Gorgon'll be a first 304 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: ballot I think Frank gorg gets in. Yeah, because of 305 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: his availability, his longevity, his numbers. Yeah, productivity is productivity, 306 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: is you know, Hall of Fame worthy? I think I agree, 307 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: I would agree. I think he gets in it. 308 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll be a first ballot guy either, 309 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: because of the longevity thing that you said. I think 310 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: there will Philly some people that that will bother among the. 311 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: Thurman wasn't a first ballot Hall of Famer. No, which 312 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: is we'll give you an idea of that. You know, 313 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: sometimes get an eye roll. 314 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 2: Well, I remember when he didn't get in on first ballot. 315 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 2: There were a lot of eye rolls, like, what are 316 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: you kidding me? 317 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, so anyway, but yeah, you can't go back in time. 318 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: So there you go. But we'll see how it goes there. 319 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 2: The New York Jets made a trait they addressed their 320 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 2: disappointing secondary play through the first three weeks of the season. 321 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 2: Traded for cornerback Jarvis Brownly, previously a full time starter 322 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,719 Speaker 2: for the Tennessee Titans. Jets acquire Brownly and a seventh 323 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: round pick next year in exchange for a sixth. 324 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: Round pick next year. 325 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: The assumption is Brandon Stevens is going to be moved 326 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: out of the starting lineup. He was a guy who 327 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: was a cast off of the Ravens last year. Remember 328 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 2: he was released by Baltimore last year and lost his 329 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 2: spot in the starting lineup to the rookie first round 330 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 2: pick Wiggins. 331 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was it's just a little bit, I 332 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna say, it was a little 333 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: bit puzzling that when he got benched all of a sudden, 334 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: their defense, well, it was him and Marcus Williams, the 335 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: safety that got benched. Marcus Williams was a big problem 336 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: and letting plays get up over his head for touchdowns. 337 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: They take him out of the lineup and they got 338 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: better quick, and. 339 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 2: Brandon Stevens was let go. He signs with the Jets 340 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 2: because the Jets did not re sign DJ Reid, who 341 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 2: was an excellent corner for them opposite Sauce Gardener. He's 342 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: now in Detroit and he has made that Detroit secondary 343 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: infinitely better. So they're still trying to plug their CB 344 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: two hole here opposite sauce Gardeners, So they're hoping Brownly 345 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 2: can eventually do that, although he is just getting over 346 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: an injury himself, so it doesn't look or sound like 347 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: he's going to be playing for them right away. More 348 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: of a long term solution there. So that is around 349 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: the NFL presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of 350 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. So, look, we've got a lot of 351 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: stuff going on here with respect to a game that 352 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 2: I don't know many people on the outside looking in 353 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 2: might not see it as all that sexyne. 354 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we had because it's an zero to three. 355 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: We had a long conversation. We always wanted to throw 356 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: out a topic to the view listeners and viewers if 357 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: they want to call in and talk about it and stuff. 358 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: It's starting to get repetitive because the Bills are going to, 359 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: I mean, for the foreseeable future, the Bills are going 360 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: to be favored in every game going forward, right and 361 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: in this game, they're massively favored by NFL standards. And 362 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: it's exactly where we were last week with a Dolphins 363 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: team that looked to be reeling coming into Buffalo for 364 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: a night primetime game and it's like, what are they 365 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: going to do? Turned out to be pretty good games, 366 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: the tie game in the fourth course, right, So but 367 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: we're right back to this square one. Now you got 368 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: the Saints coming in, who haven't won a game yet. 369 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: They're oh and three, and they looked they had a 370 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: hard game on Sunday. They looked bad through the first 371 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: part of that game. They got boat raced up in 372 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: the northeast northwest, and so they're coming in now it's 373 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: the same it's the same scenario, and we're trying, you know, 374 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to get your mind around how different this 375 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: game might be than the one we just watched with 376 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: Miami and the one we just watched before that with 377 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: the Jets on the road. An interesting note here, each 378 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: of Buffalo's first four opponents this season winless. 379 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 2: Now, obviously Baltimore's winless because they didn't play a game, 380 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 2: but then the Jets in Week two. 381 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: The Bills were winless, Dolphins in. 382 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: Week three oh and two, and now the Saints in 383 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: Week four oh and three. It's crazy, but I mean, 384 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: it's kind of just a weird little thing. But I 385 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: thought that was interesting. But our topic of discussion for 386 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: you today is this which Bills player would you like 387 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: to see break out in week four? Eight oh three, 388 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: five fifty one, eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty 389 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 2: Those are the numbers to jump on board with us, 390 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: and we do have open lines for you there. Let's 391 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: go to the phones, and leading us off today is 392 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: David in Buffalo. 393 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: What's up, David? 394 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 4: Hey? 395 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 5: How you doing? 396 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: Guys? Good? Good? 397 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 5: Watch your show all the time. Hey, listen, did you 398 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 5: see that game? I'm sure you did. Detroit and Baltimore. 399 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: R right right. 400 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 6: Detroit ran two. 401 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 7: Tight ends on the left, then. 402 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 6: They ran two tight ends on the right. They ran 403 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 6: two hundred and twenty four yards. 404 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 7: On the Baltimore Ravens, tearing them up with this two 405 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 7: tight end set. So my question is do you think 406 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 7: that the Bills should implicate the two tight ends, you know, 407 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 7: and throw them to the right, throw them to the left, 408 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 7: and do something like that with James Cook and break 409 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 7: him free like they did. 410 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: They've, David, They've been doing that since the start of 411 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, Dave, they do it more than Baltimore 412 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: or Detroit does. In Baltimore, they they're doing it already. Yeah, 413 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: they do that a ton. In fact, they go three 414 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: tight ends as well. The Bills running game you saw 415 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: it in this last game against the Dolphins, has been 416 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: They lead the league in yards per game rushing after 417 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: three weeks, one hundred and sixty three yards. So the Dolphins, 418 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: and Brownie pointed this out to me. The Dolphins are 419 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: rolling out four defensive tackles and the front line, two 420 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: defensive ends outside the fourd to down linemen, and two 421 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: linebackers behind those guys. I mean they loaded the box 422 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: against the Bills, and the Bills are rolling out three 423 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: tight ends and saying, oh, you see that, we're gonna 424 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: run this ball. Yeah, stop it then because we're coming 425 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: at you. And they did. They ran the ball against 426 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: the Dolphins against that set. So the Bills are running 427 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: the ball better than anybody. So I'll say this, it 428 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: might be David that the Detroit Lions were copying what 429 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: the Bills did, not vice versa. This last week, the 430 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions looked back at Week one and what the 431 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: Bills were doing against Baltimore and they said, oh, yeah, 432 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: Bills are doing that pretty good. Let's do that too. 433 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: So you're asking the Bills to come to copy the 434 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, who are copying the Buffalo Bills, so there's 435 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of that going on. So, yeah, you're 436 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: on the right track, but unfortunately the train past that station. 437 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah you're you got to catch up, David. We've been 438 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: tying there and done that, been there and done that. 439 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: They're doing it right now. So yeah, you're on the 440 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: right track. Let's go to Chris in Indianapolis next. What's up, Chris, 441 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, gentlemen. 442 00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 8: Thanks, just just wanted to get your take on who 443 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 8: do you think would benefit us best from a loss 444 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 8: or a win in the Baltimore Kansas City game coming up. 445 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an interesting question, right. My call was, I've 446 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: been telling this all week. I think it's your rooting 447 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: for the Ravens. I think you're rooting for the Ravens 448 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: because we have to pay play the Chiefs. Still Ravens. 449 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: We've got the tie breaker on and the lead the Chiefs. 450 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: We still have to play. So if the Chiefs beat 451 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: the Ravens, now they kind of pull a little closer 452 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: to where we're at already. I think you're cheering for 453 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: the Ravens because of the future game against the Chiefs. 454 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: So if the Chiefs beat the Chiefs, get beat by 455 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens, and the Bills still have to beat them. 456 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: But now you've beaten both those clubs, and the Chiefs 457 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,239 Speaker 1: have also lost to the Ravens, and you've already got 458 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: a two game lead virtually on the Ravens already just 459 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: link and so you can spare one of those and 460 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: get another game lead on the Chiefs. 461 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 2: Only argument against that, this is the only argument against that, 462 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: because I tend to agree with what Steve is laid 463 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 2: out for you there. The only argument against that is, 464 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 2: maybe you want the Ravens to continue to have losses 465 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 2: so that the AFC North becomes a competition. 466 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: Maybe Pittsburgh can. 467 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 2: Win games and make it a race or somehow even 468 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 2: leapfrog them at the end of the season, because I 469 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 2: think the going anticipation is Denver and the Chargers are 470 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 2: going to be a handful for the Chiefs in their division, 471 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 2: and they're gonna be handing them some losses. Probably maybe 472 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 2: they split the season series there. 473 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: Well, Chargers already get them, They already got them once, 474 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: So that would be the only counter argument, because I 475 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: think there's more there's more divisional competition in terms of 476 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: quality of opponent in the AFC West right now than 477 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: there is in the AFC. Now, simply put, you feel 478 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: like the Chiefs have a rougher division than the Ravens. 479 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: So the Chiefs are gonna get lumped up, particularly the 480 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: way they are playing, They're gonna get lumped up by 481 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: other people rather than the Ravens. So you just take 482 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: another loss by the Ravens because they're in a division 483 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: that's a little bit like the AFC East right now, 484 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: who outside of the Buffalo Bills is hot garbage. So 485 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: but the Chiefs are gonna have a little bit of 486 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: a bumpy road getting to the playoffs because of the 487 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: quality of the division. Not so much with the Ravens, 488 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 1: although you know the Steelers are good. The Bengals are 489 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: you know now the Bengals, I mean they got lit 490 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: on fire and you know they're going down in flames 491 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: without Joe Burrow for the next two or three months. 492 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: I mean, come on. So there you are again, Cleveland. 493 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,239 Speaker 1: Despite the win against green Bay, the good defense, they 494 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: have trouble scoring. So the Ravens, you feel like they 495 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: should they're gonna sail through that division like the Bills 496 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: are sailing through the East. The Chiefs, like Brownie. 497 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 4: Said, it's hard for them unless Broncos and the Chargers 498 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 4: are well and the Charges are out to a three 499 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 4: and ozh start and all three of those wins are 500 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 4: division wins. 501 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, think about that. So they're out in front. So 502 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: it's already catch up time. 503 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 2: For the Broncos, the Chiefs, and the Raiders, who I 504 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: don't think anybody feels is going to contend for the division. 505 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: We got to take a break here before we do. 506 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 2: David and Buffalo, our first caller, said the Bills should 507 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: run more two and three tight end sets like the Lions. 508 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: We told David, they're already doing that. And if anybody's 509 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 2: copying anybody, Detroit's copying Buffalo. 510 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: Here's a number for you to show. 511 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 2: You how much they're how well they're executing two and 512 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 2: tight end two and three tight end sets on the field. 513 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: The Bills lead the. 514 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 2: League in yards per carry in twelve and thirteen personnel 515 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 2: seven point two yards per rush with two and three 516 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: tight ends on the field when they run the football. David, 517 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 2: trust me, they got it covered. We're gonna take a break. 518 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 2: When we come back. We'll talk to Ryan in Toronto 519 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live presented by Colida Health. 520 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills. 521 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 9: Ratio from the Coach's Office is presented. 522 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: By CfBT Copyer Facts Business. 523 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: Technology, the official office technology company of the Buffalo Bills. 524 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: We heard coach McDermott talk today Steve about the pass 525 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: rush and while it has been effective, actually the Bills 526 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: lead the league in pressure rate, they're not getting the 527 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: quarterback on the ground, and I would argue they're not 528 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: affecting the quarterback enough. 529 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: Sacks are one thing. 530 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 2: The Bills have six and three games, that's not horrible, 531 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: But I think what's more important is that you're affecting 532 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 2: the quarterback's decision making, is throwing, etc. And they're not 533 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: doing enough of that to this point. 534 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, they had moments. They did a pretty good job 535 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: in the Dolphins game against Tua. Like we said, Tua, 536 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, gets rid of it so well, and their 537 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: run game was a factor. 538 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 2: You're right, But they've got him in third and longs 539 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: and so coach has to talk to his staff about 540 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 2: how do we fix this. So what do you think 541 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: the conversation is like knowing, Hey, look we're getting the 542 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 2: third and twelve, we're getting the third and nine, we're 543 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: getting the third and seven. 544 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: Why the hell are we not getting off the field? 545 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: I said, I I'm surprised, but I think they really 546 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: missed ed. I thinks I think that's a fact down inside. 547 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: And I think you know, T J. Sanders won a 548 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: couple of times. Bosa is the is really the guy 549 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: who's actually playing at a high level that other teams 550 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: are keying on. And he was close to a few times. Russeau, 551 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: Epanessa and those and Javon Solomon, whoever else is on 552 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: the other side. You've got to have somebody on the 553 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: other end, starting with Greg. You know, you gotta you 554 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: gotta show up. Somebody's got to win. Yeah, those guys 555 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: have been a little slow out of the gate. Here 556 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: you go back and so you go back and look 557 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: at Solomon. Watch super Bowls. Man, those teams have got 558 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: four guys up front that can get it done. 559 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: I thought it was also interesting though, And look, we're 560 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 2: not telling you what we think. Coach McDermott is saying 561 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: from the coach's office, he said this. He said he 562 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 2: believes the problem with third down defense is a bunch 563 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: of things, and then he listed them all. One was 564 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 2: marrying the rush with the coverage, which you hear him 565 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 2: talk about all the time as being priority number one, 566 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 2: but I thought his second point was particularly interesting when 567 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 2: he said, we need the players up front to play 568 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 2: off of one another more effectively, whether that's setting your 569 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: teammate up on a stunt or a twist like because 570 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 2: there are a lot of times within the scheme where 571 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: you run a stunt or a twist, and even though 572 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: you're part of that stunt, you're not the guy that's 573 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 2: supposed to come free, So you have to execute it 574 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 2: in such a way two in shit, sure the guy 575 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 2: you're stunting or twisting with becomes the free rusher. 576 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: And I think that's what coach McDermott is getting at there. 577 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they are, but you need to be unselfish. Yes, 578 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: you know, you got to sacrifice this rush for your 579 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: buddy to try and get around around the corner now. 580 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: And it works better on some quarterbacks than others. On 581 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: two if you can get quick pressure, it works really well. Lamar. 582 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: You maybe opening up a can of worms you don't 583 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: want any part of, right, So you rush him a 584 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: little differently the way we saw Detroit do. They didn't. 585 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: They didn't rush. And then when he finally got impatient, 586 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: left the pocket. Then they had the spy who triggered 587 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: and kept him in. So different tactics for different types 588 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: of skill sets from the quarterback. But I think that 589 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: we hear it from Bob Babbage all the time, and 590 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: today we heard it again from Sean McDermott. Rush needs 591 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: to be Cohen's need to cooperate with the coverage. I 592 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: think they're not getting that done. They keep saying it, 593 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: keeps saying, so it's not happening, that's they don't say it. 594 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: If it's not. 595 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 2: If it's happening, that's a problem in one but not 596 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 2: the other. And they need them both to, you know, 597 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 2: be a that prof simultaneous. 598 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: I think they're really preoccupied with the fact that the 599 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: front and back end aren't playing as one unit. Uh 600 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: enough and complimenting each other enough, We'll see, Yeah, they 601 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: gotta tie that together. 602 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones, and has promised we lead 603 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 2: off with Ryan and Toronto. 604 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: What's up? Ryan? 605 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 5: Do Steve love the show as always? Mike? That a topic. 606 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 5: You gotta all know how much I love Tyl Seams 607 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 5: before preseason. I'm so glad he's in the three man roster. Mike. 608 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 5: Was he dressed for the Baltimore game. 609 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: Yes, he took some. He actually got on the field 610 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: as wide out for a hot minute. Took a rep 611 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: and I gotta catch in the Baltimore game, didn't he 612 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: hold on? 613 00:32:58,760 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 3: I didn't. 614 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't think you did. No, no, no he did not. 615 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah he had no in the Baltimore Oh, that was 616 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: the Miami game he had. Yes, you're right, Miami. 617 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 5: Game he had two exceptions that said, and then not 618 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 5: nothing on the Jets game. 619 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 3: Right. 620 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 5: To be honest, I really think it's a game for 621 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 5: this guy. He deserves it. I want Joe Brady to 622 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 5: showcase this guy. But I honestly he's a hidden talent 623 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 5: and I love this guy. And same secondary is not 624 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 5: the best and it's a great time for Josh to 625 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 5: you know, unleash and go for that deep ball and 626 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 5: go to shaves man. I really want to see this 627 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 5: guy shine this weekend. I hope, really hope Joe Brady 628 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 5: you know, keeps him up and get a couple of touchdowns. 629 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 5: I leave some deep passes. I can take my car guy. 630 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 2: Okay, Ryan, I think you gotta I think you're gonna 631 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 2: be waiting a long time for that, And the only 632 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 2: reason I say that is because this passing game, by 633 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 2: its very nature, doesn't showcase any one guy unless there 634 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 2: is such a gaping invitation from an opposing defense to 635 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 2: take advantage of a matchup, I e. The Lions last 636 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: year with Ty Johnson. Short of some kind of mismatch 637 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 2: like that, you're gonna continue to see the Bills spread 638 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 2: the ball all around the field to whomever is open 639 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 2: on any given play. Josh is not prejudiced, He is 640 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 2: not discerning in who he is going to go to. 641 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 2: He has free license to and full confidence to utilize 642 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 2: anybody that happens to be open on any given play. 643 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 2: So I think because of that, I think it's very 644 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 2: tough for them to showcase one. 645 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: Guy in a game. And I think as well, I 646 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 1: don't think they go into any game knowing who might emerge. 647 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: They might have an idea like we're gonna test this 648 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: and if it worked, we're gonna go here's where we're 649 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: gonna be, Like the Ty Johnson game in Detroit last year, 650 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: or Opening weekend when Keon got eleven targets and eight 651 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: receptions for a buck twelve. I don't think they know 652 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: that going into the game, but once the game they 653 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: know there might be a chance, but they exploit it 654 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: until the team takes it away. So I think there's 655 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: a number of guys in there, from Shakir to Palmer 656 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: to Coleman to Cook Kincaid. All these guys feel like 657 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 1: I might be the guy today. So depending on how 658 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: the defense of the Saints in this case, the or 659 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens or the Dolphins or the Jets, whichever one 660 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: you want to pick, however they deploy their defense and 661 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: where they choose the matchups is where the ball is 662 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 1: gonna go. And they've all bought in. Nobody's squawking about 663 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,760 Speaker 1: who's getting thrown to or anything. Can they all understand 664 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: why it's happening. And Josh is a distributor, So I 665 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: don't think yes, I don't think they go into a 666 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: game thinking we're gonna showcase this. They go in thinking 667 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna try this and if it works, we're gonna 668 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: keep going to it. But if they adjust or whatever, Uh, 669 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna pick the matchups and we're gonna we're gonna 670 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: beat them whatever they do, whatever they pick. 671 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 2: Concerning your desire for some deep shots down the field, 672 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: I think there could be some opportunities that present themselves 673 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 2: against the Saints. As we heard Dan Orlovsky on our 674 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 2: show yesterday and talking about the Saints defense, said they 675 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 2: will take risks because they know their offense is not 676 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 2: efficient enough and productive enough to keep up with an 677 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 2: offense like that of the Bills. So they're gonna try 678 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 2: to jump some routes and some short stuff. And we 679 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 2: know that's where the Bill's passing game largely lives in 680 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 2: the short to intermediate area. So if the Bills can 681 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 2: properly anticipate that and a given down and distance, and 682 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 2: you run the right hitch and go at the right time, 683 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 2: you might have something over the top, you know, that 684 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 2: can put some points on the board on a four 685 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 2: play scoring drive instead of an eleven play scoring drive. 686 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: Right, and the Bills you go back and look, they've 687 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: got maybe a top I mean, I didn't know this 688 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: until I saw it before. After Week three was up 689 00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: their top three or top five in explosive play and 690 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: long plays from scrimmage runs and passes because it's more 691 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: yards after catch, right, more yards after catch. So I 692 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: really have a problem with them taking the short throw 693 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: and letting James Cook run for fifty one like he 694 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: did in the Baltimore game. But I get your point. 695 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: It does seem like they have an extra gear. And 696 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: in these games like against the Dolphins were tied in 697 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, or against you know, the Ravens, where 698 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: they're down, they just don't feel like they're shifting into 699 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: that final gear to give themselves the best chance to win. 700 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that's their mindset, but I get the 701 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: I get the feeling that it portrays, you know, because 702 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: I think we're all there once in a while you 703 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: feel like you got this guy, Josh Man throw that 704 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: thing thirty five yards on a rope to somebody on 705 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: their numbers, and let's go. Instead, they throw at three 706 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 1: yards to somebody and they run for seven and it's 707 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: first down. Let's move it off. It's not quite as exciting. 708 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: Let's squeeze in butcher on the east side here before 709 00:37:59,160 --> 00:37:59,479 Speaker 1: the break. 710 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 6: What's up, gentlemen, thanks so much to take it. Called 711 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 6: my brothers from another beautiful mother. I love him, Miss 712 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 6: g I love w g R. And so all the 713 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 6: fans who listen and watch this beautiful TV show and 714 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 6: radio show. I love each and every one of you. 715 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna be along with it because I know 716 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 6: you're up for the break. So I'm gonna get to 717 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 6: it real fast. I'm gonna I gotta, I gotta piggyback 718 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 6: on something that Ryan said second ago. Six for It's 719 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 6: Terrell Shavers, six for Coln Shakir Palmer, you got Dalton 720 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 6: kon K, you got cooked, you got Ray Davis. I'm 721 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 6: gonna go to Steve Ray Fast. I was watching it 722 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 6: thirty for thirty special yesterday. I've seen it before. I 723 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 6: watched it, I recorded. I kept watching my three or 724 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 6: four times. That k gun offense was unstoppable. Uh, I 725 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 6: had the right personnel. I looked at everybody that you 726 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 6: guys have. I'm not talking about I'm not talking about 727 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 6: Yellow Jackets, and I'm just talking about the players talent wise, 728 00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 6: real fast. Buffalo needs to run up Temple sometimes not 729 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 6: all the time. Sometimes based off with Ryan just spoke 730 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 6: about Terrell Shavers and Ryan op just want to say 731 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 6: this and this is the only thing I got to 732 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,760 Speaker 6: knock on. Joe Brady is Joe Brady coming out of LSU. 733 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 6: Even when he was at Carolina, he had Curtis Samus 734 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 6: at Caroline. He has some receivers did, but he was 735 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 6: mainly inside the twenty yard line type coordinated and design 736 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 6: and play play calling. Very seldom you're gonna see the 737 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 6: Buffalo Bills outside. Wide receivers get designed plays, not unless 738 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 6: it's a breakaway. In Josh and Scrambling and Steve like 739 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 6: you know, and special teams and the balls, they hall 740 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 6: a fire that means get away from the ball. The 741 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 6: same thing with Josh scrambles, that means fire. Everybody needs 742 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 6: to go and trying to find an open gap and 743 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 6: then Josh, who he is, makes the play. So saying 744 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 6: that moving forward, moving forward into the Saints game, like 745 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 6: Ryan said, I'm not saying that you showcase a person. 746 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 6: I just wish that Joe Brady, that's something he's gonna 747 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 6: have to learn as you goes as an office courtator 748 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 6: design and learn how to design deep passes and deep 749 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 6: routes instead of little slends like you just say hitch 750 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 6: and go, hitch and go and go. That's fine, but 751 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 6: at the same time we have to be more of it. 752 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 6: I want to say Redunda when I used the word dictator, 753 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 6: I don't really care what other thirty one teams do. 754 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 6: We have the talent enough offensively, especially to just dominate 755 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 6: like Steven those guys did back in the nineties with 756 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 6: the K gun. We don't have to call it the 757 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 6: K gun, but you know what I mean on up 758 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 6: temple offense, where at the same time, when you spread them, 759 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 6: you can hand the ball up like like Kelly's to 760 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 6: get a therm, and you can give it to Cook 761 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 6: the same way. And so I just say that Steve 762 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 6: used to catch Knights passing down the slot. That's Steve, 763 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 6: will be Terrell Shavers and the K gunn all you 764 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 6: can use them and see them that way. But anyway, 765 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 6: thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I love E JW 766 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 6: one of you, man, and they keep winning. 767 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 1: Thank you. You bet I get you. And we were 768 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: talking today that New Orleans runs some no huddle, they 769 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: run up tempo offense. Yeah, it's going to be a 770 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: different kind of thing they I think it helps a 771 00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: young quarterback like Spencer Rattler if the defense doesn't change 772 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: personnel as much and he can and if you go fast, 773 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: it gives the offense some advantages if they can get 774 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,399 Speaker 1: first downs. If they go no huddle and don't get 775 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: a first down, it turns into a problem. Pretty quickly 776 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: it loses its effective. 777 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 2: Yes, not only that, you're also off the field. I 778 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 2: will just push back on Butcher's point a little bit 779 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 2: because I do think there are down the field shots 780 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 2: within the scope of Brady's playbook, and he has called 781 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 2: those plays. You think about the Josh Palmer catch at 782 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,919 Speaker 2: the end of the Ravens game, the whole shot first 783 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 2: touchdown to Kincaid in the game last week against. 784 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: Miami Hawes, down the seam and all the sea. I mean, 785 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: there are there are plays called. He has that in 786 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 1: his repertoire. Do you think I just think he's committed 787 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: to efficiency and staying on schedule more than anything. I 788 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: think it's I don't think it's Joe Brady. I think 789 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: it might be Josh. Could be. It might be Josh 790 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: is saying listen, we're now, because he did open it up. 791 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: When they got down two scores with five minutes to 792 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 1: go against the Baltimore Ravens, they got well, we got to 793 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: have it. They opened it up. And it's not like 794 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,919 Speaker 1: they were completely ineffective before that. They had a couple 795 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 1: of three and outs in the second half which were troublesome, 796 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: but that was a myriad of things going wrong. It 797 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: wasn't like just the play calls. I think there are 798 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: throws to be made down the field, and Josh is 799 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 1: just choosing not to until he really needs him. And 800 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: I think he knows with this offense and his abilities 801 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: and the guys around him, they can't score if they're 802 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: not on the field offensively. And we've already got a 803 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: lead in this game. 804 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 2: And we're also efficient enough. Yeah, put a ten to 805 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 2: eleven play drive together. We don't mess up very often. 806 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: Right He's I think I think a little bit of 807 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 1: this dink and dunk stuff is by choice from Josh, 808 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: maybe not from Joe Brady, because you go back and 809 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: look at the All twenty two and some of the 810 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,760 Speaker 1: game broadcast in the replays, there's some guys he could 811 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: he could have. You know, we've seen him fit it 812 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: in there. But he's like, eh, I got it. You know. 813 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: Now he's completing seventy eight percent of his passes and 814 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: they're I mean, so you know, it's not broken. And 815 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: I do think there's another gear they've got, and I 816 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: think it's more about I just think it's more about 817 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: the way they choose to win right now than it 818 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: is about not having the place called that can go 819 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: down the field. 820 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 2: Break time for us here when we come back, more 821 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 2: of your phone calls, so stay tuned for that and 822 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 2: second hour of the show.

So a lot of good stuff 848 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: going on to that's a nice you absolutely. Uh. We 849 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: are going to get back to the phones. 850 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:09,280 Speaker 2: Here as we are asking you today, which Bill's player 851 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 2: do you want to see breakout here in week four? 852 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 2: Maybe it's someone that's been relatively quiet through the first 853 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 2: three games. 854 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: For me, it's Greg Russou. 855 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 2: I want to see this guy unleashed because to this 856 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 2: point he's been rather quiet. And this was a guy 857 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 2: that looked like he got shot out of a cannon 858 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 2: in Week one last year. He had three sacks in 859 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 2: that first game, and we just have not seen the 860 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 2: same Greg Russo through the first three weeks. So there's 861 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 2: a guy that I would pick, uh to see breakout 862 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 2: here in week four. What do you think let us 863 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,439 Speaker 2: know eight oh three oh five point fifty one eighty 864 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 2: eight five fifty two, five point fifty the number to 865 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 2: join us to Bob in Rochester next. 866 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: What's up, Bob, Well, Chris and Steve. 867 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 10: Yeah, I agree with you on Greg Russou. He's he's 868 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 10: due to get back in rhythm there. You know, he 869 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 10: he you know, he can be h. He can take 870 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 10: a blot of pressure off Bosa and I think would 871 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 10: be beneficial for the team. The question I have is 872 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,399 Speaker 10: about Landon Jackson. What's going on with him? I think 873 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 10: this would be a good game to maybe get him 874 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 10: to see some action and you know, experience New Orleans. 875 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 10: I mean, you can't take him for granted, but I 876 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 10: think we have enough room where we can see what 877 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 10: he's got. 878 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting that you mentioned that as a possibility. Bob, 879 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 2: for two reasons is number one. Coach McDermott last week 880 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 2: was asked on the heels of the Dolphins game, how 881 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 2: close is Landon Jackson to getting a game day jersey, 882 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 2: and he said he was very close to getting one 883 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 2: last week against the Dolphins. So you know, he's doing 884 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 2: all the right things in practice because he's meriting consideration 885 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 2: for being up on game day, and number two, the 886 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 2: scenario you paint a perceived lesser opponent. I remember Spencer 887 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 2: Brown got his first career start in week four of 888 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 2: his rookie season at right tackle against a down Houston 889 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 2: Texans team, and it was a game that the Bills 890 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 2: won forty to nothing. 891 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: Here at home. 892 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's gonna happen on Sunday, but I 893 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,359 Speaker 2: think you could argue some of the same elements are 894 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 2: in place here that might lend itself to giving a 895 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 2: young player an opportunity this weekend. 896 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: That that's probably all true, although I'm not one hundred 897 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: percent sure that it is. I'm the way it sounds 898 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,240 Speaker 1: to me, because don't forget, if Landon Jackson is active, 899 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: somebody else is not right, and they've got every right 900 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 1: to feel like they're doing all the right things just 901 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 1: like Landon Jackson is, and in fact have done more 902 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 1: of the right things because they've been active and Landon 903 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 1: Jackson hasn't been. So when you say you've got room, 904 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,799 Speaker 1: it means you feel like you've got a margin of 905 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: error to play a player who's not as good, give 906 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: him some reps. See if you're not as experience, we're 907 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 1: not aerience, and well, the simple fact of the matter 908 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: is the guy who is more experienced and playing better 909 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 1: gets the job. That's all there is to it. There's 910 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,799 Speaker 1: no there's none of this. We're gonna give this guy 911 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 1: a chance and you're gonna sit down for a week. 912 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 2: You're also assuming that the guys that have been playing 913 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 2: have been performing up to expectations the first three weeks. 914 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 1: That's right, There is something to that as well. So 915 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,480 Speaker 1: if there is a say, for instance, if the guys 916 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: who play a bunch aren't gonna get deactivated, the guys 917 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,359 Speaker 1: right before them will. So even then, even then, now 918 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: the D line may be a different place be Lann 919 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: and jack because so many guys do play. Maybe there 920 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: is a space, maybe there is a rotational combination they 921 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 1: like better with Land and Jackson in there. But it's 922 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 1: not just it's not just about this isn't you know, 923 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: Junior league Pop Warner. Yeah, it's not Pop Warner football here. 924 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,359 Speaker 1: You don't get participation trophies. You're not looking to get 925 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: a Letterman's jacket for getting a you know, getting a 926 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: game in. You play when you're the best option for 927 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: the spot on the roster, you're gonna take there's usually 928 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: and in this building, I think that's that's you can 929 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 1: carve that. And granted nobody just gets it because they 930 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 1: it's time. You gotta earn it. 931 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here when we come back. Our 932 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,800 Speaker 2: number two begins with our good friend NFL on CBS 933 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 2: play by playman Andrew Catalan, who's calling Bill Saints on 934 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,360 Speaker 2: Sunday with Charles Davis on the NFL on CBS.

It might 954 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 2: be a rough go at the start for Kellen Moore 955 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,839 Speaker 2: in his first year as head coach down there with 956 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 2: you know, finally the cap purge that they had after 957 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 2: pushing and kicking the can down the road so many years, 958 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 2: they've kind of stripped the team of some talent. Is 959 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,720 Speaker 2: what was your first blush assessment of this Saints team. 960 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 11: Good to see you boys, looking forward to getting back 961 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 11: up to Buffalo this weekend, and you look a lot 962 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 11: better than the Saints did last week. That was a 963 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 11: really rough performance out there in Seattle. Game was pretty 964 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,440 Speaker 11: much over after the first quarter. And I think the 965 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 11: big thing for them the two things the special teams 966 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 11: were just a total nightmare. Ninety five yard punt return 967 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 11: for a touchdown, they allowed a sixty yard kick return, 968 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,919 Speaker 11: they had a punt block, they missed a field goal. 969 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 11: Everything went wrong in the special teams department, and they 970 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,080 Speaker 11: also had eleven penalties, and penalties has been a. 971 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,280 Speaker 12: Huge part of their season. 972 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,879 Speaker 11: So far, they're among the league leaders in penalties per game, 973 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,800 Speaker 11: penalty yards per game, and you know, as you pointed out, Brownie, 974 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 11: they purged a little bit. 975 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 12: They're starting to rebuild. 976 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,239 Speaker 11: They got a first year head coach, and they're not 977 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 11: going to be able to overcome mistakes in those two departments. 978 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 12: Cameron Jordan said it after the fact. 979 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 11: They're not good enough to commit that many penalties and 980 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 11: also have that. 981 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,759 Speaker 12: Many special teams mistakes. 982 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 11: So I don't think they're as bad as we saw 983 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 11: or as I saw last Sunday, but they have to 984 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 11: get better in those two areas to try to be 985 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,759 Speaker 11: a little more competitive, which they were in their first 986 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,840 Speaker 11: two games. They came close week one against Arizona in 987 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 11: Week two against San Francisco. 988 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, they actually look pretty good against San Francisco. I mean, 989 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: I'll say this, I told Brownie that I like Spencer 990 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: Ratler as a quarterback a little better than I like 991 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: Mac Jones for the forty nine ers. In that game, 992 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 1: he's much more physically talented. It seems like they use 993 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,919 Speaker 1: a little bit up tempo to get him a little 994 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 1: bit more comfortable and simplify the defensive read maybe get 995 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 1: him going fast. The defense can't be as complicated or 996 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:05,360 Speaker 1: as disguised. But I thought Spencer Rattler thus far this 997 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 1: season has shown some stuff that maybe he's got some 998 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 1: promise and they could build around his talents. 999 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 8: Yeah, you Nell did, Steve. 1000 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,839 Speaker 11: They do love the up tempo. That something Kellen Moore 1001 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 11: wants to do more of. Rattler told our crew last 1002 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,360 Speaker 11: week that he did it a lot in college, feels 1003 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 11: comfortable with it, and we certainly saw it a lot 1004 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 11: last week in Seattle. Some of it because they were behind, 1005 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 11: but a lot of it because that's the way they 1006 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,359 Speaker 11: want to operate. And as far as Rattler, he's got 1007 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 11: a big chip on his shoulder. I think that he 1008 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,239 Speaker 11: has had some adversity in his collegiate career, had to transfer, 1009 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 11: and also, you know, he's sitting at home in April 1010 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 11: and he sees that the Saints draft to quarterback Tyler 1011 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 11: Schuck in the second round and that he told us 1012 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 11: he went right back to work, you know, literally went 1013 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 11: out the door to the gym as soon as the 1014 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 11: Saints picked him, and he said he wasn't, you know, 1015 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 11: totally caught off guard by it. But that has motivated him, So, 1016 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,959 Speaker 11: you know, I think that Saints fans hope that he's 1017 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 11: Drew Brees. 1018 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 12: Light He's not Drew Brees. 1019 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,399 Speaker 11: But that he can know is that smaller stature can 1020 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 11: move in the pocket, he can use his legs. 1021 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 12: They didn't take a. 1022 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 11: Lot of shots down the field last week. That's the 1023 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 11: one part of his game that I don't know too 1024 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,879 Speaker 11: much about as of yet. But you're right, he's got 1025 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 11: a little spunk about him and probably will be fired 1026 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 11: up to kind of come on the road and see 1027 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 11: what he can do in Buffalo. 1028 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 2: Flipping it over to their defense, Andrew, you know, we're 1029 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 2: kind of told that this is a defensive unit that 1030 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 2: will take risks here and there from time to time. 1031 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,319 Speaker 2: And maybe it's a byproduct of falling behind on the 1032 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 2: scoreboard last week. Maybe that's one game sample that might 1033 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,520 Speaker 2: not be accurate on the whole. But I have to 1034 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 2: believe that if they don't know or aren't sure their 1035 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 2: offense can keep up with a high octane offense like 1036 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 2: that of Buffalo, that they are going to be a 1037 00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,799 Speaker 2: little more high risk on defense. Maybe try to force 1038 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 2: it turnover, something Buffalo hasn't done yet this season. What 1039 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,319 Speaker 2: do you think of that maybe them being you know, 1040 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 2: willing to take more risks to try to you know, 1041 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 2: be competitive in a game that has a sixteen point 1042 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 2: spread right now. 1043 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think they have to, Chris. 1044 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 11: I mean, their pass rush was pretty much non existent 1045 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,359 Speaker 11: last week, and you know. 1046 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:20,760 Speaker 12: It got off to a pretty good start. 1047 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,799 Speaker 11: Carl Granderson had three and a half sacks in the 1048 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 11: first two games, but they didn't have any sacks last 1049 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 11: week in Seattle. And the back end, in their secondary, 1050 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 11: there's definitely some question marks. Isaac Yadam has committed some 1051 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 11: penalties and has allowed some big plays. Kool Aid mckinstrey, 1052 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 11: who was a second round pick, hasn't really flashed so 1053 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,720 Speaker 11: far in his career. You know, they lost Julian Blackman, 1054 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 11: who was their safety after Week one. He's out for 1055 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,760 Speaker 11: the year. So now they start a rookie at Jonas Sanker. 1056 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 11: So they've got some questions in the back end. I mean, 1057 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 11: in the middle, they're solid to Mario Davis is still 1058 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 11: getting it done at the age of thirty six, which 1059 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 11: is incredible. Pete Werner had a really good game at 1060 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 11: linebacker last week. He let the team and tackles in Seattle. 1061 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,720 Speaker 11: But they're going to need more out of that pass 1062 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,040 Speaker 11: rush and how they go about accomplishing that with Brandon Staley, 1063 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 11: the former Chargers head coach who's now their defensive coordinator, 1064 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,400 Speaker 11: is certainly a big piece of the puzzle here on 1065 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 11: Sunday for the Saints. 1066 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 1: What's the recipe for the Saints to beat a team 1067 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:17,800 Speaker 1: like Buffalo? 1068 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,839 Speaker 11: Well, Steve, I mean, we talked to it. They got 1069 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 11: to clean up the penalties and the special teams. They 1070 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:26,959 Speaker 11: can't turn the ball over, and they did a pretty 1071 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,720 Speaker 11: good job of that in their first two games. 1072 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 12: And they're gonna have to hit some deep shots down 1073 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 12: the field. 1074 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 11: You know, Chris o'lave had ten catches last week, but 1075 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,240 Speaker 11: none of them went for ten yards or longer. Juwan 1076 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 11: Johnson has proved to be a capable tight end, but 1077 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,799 Speaker 11: he's also mixed in some drops. Brandon Cooks is a 1078 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,040 Speaker 11: receiver they brought in this year, brought him back as 1079 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 11: he started his career there. He hasn't really done much 1080 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 11: so far. And you know, I think the ultimate X 1081 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 11: factor is Alvin Kamara. He's still got it. He's thirty 1082 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 11: years old, but he can still play. He's had one 1083 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 11: thousand yards from scrimmage every single year of his career. 1084 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 12: In fact, he's got the most rushing yards of. 1085 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 11: Any player in NFL history who was not rushed for 1086 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 11: one thousand yards in a season. 1087 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 12: So I thought that was an interesting one. But now 1088 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 12: he's a guy. 1089 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 11: That's still dangerous and they're gonna have to use him, 1090 00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,920 Speaker 11: hope for some turnovers. And look, I guess if you 1091 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 11: want to try to take a positive from last week, 1092 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 11: it was super loud in Seattle, as it always is. 1093 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 11: They had a lot of penalties fall star penalties. Maybe 1094 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,640 Speaker 11: that helps them a little bit because it'll be equally 1095 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 11: as loud as we know in Buffalo, and they've kind 1096 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 11: of already had a test run, so to speak, in 1097 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 11: terms of you know, this silent count and how they're communication. 1098 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 11: They need to improve upon going into this week. But look, 1099 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 11: you mentioned the spread, you mentioned how it's looked so far. 1100 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 11: I mean, you know, on paper, this is a tough 1101 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:48,480 Speaker 11: one for New Orleans. 1102 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,439 Speaker 2: You mentioned, you know, the need for them to maybe 1103 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 2: take some more deep shots. 1104 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 1: And I was looking at, you. 1105 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 2: Know, Rattler's numbers, and obviously he has a high completion percentage, 1106 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 2: but his yards per attempt is like five point four. 1107 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 1: It's one of the lowest in the league. 1108 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 2: Do you see that more as a byproduct of Kellen 1109 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 2: Moore saying we got to get the ball out of 1110 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 2: his hands quickly because our protection isn't consistent enough. Do 1111 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 2: you think there are other factors contributing to that get 1112 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 2: it out of his hand quick, throw it short and 1113 00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 2: hope our playmakers can get yards after the catch. 1114 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:20,919 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1115 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 12: I think Chris to your point, turnovers were. 1116 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,520 Speaker 11: A big problem for Rattler last year, and Kellen Moore 1117 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 11: told us that was priority number one to clean up 1118 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,800 Speaker 11: the turnovers. So I think it is a little bit 1119 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 11: of that dink and dunk. Let's protect the ball, let's 1120 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 11: not give it, you know, let's not turn it over. 1121 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,160 Speaker 11: He did have a pick last week, but you know, 1122 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 11: he's done a pretty good job in that department. But 1123 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 11: you're right, he's not really stretching the field. They're really 1124 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 11: challenging the defense down of the field. So I think 1125 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 11: it's more and more trying to protect the football. But 1126 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 11: at some point that's. 1127 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 12: Not going to work. 1128 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,120 Speaker 11: And now first year head coach is interesting. I know 1129 00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,760 Speaker 11: Sean McDermott. It was in the Bills notes this week. 1130 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 11: He's twenty one and seven against first year head coaches. 1131 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,320 Speaker 11: Kellen Moore is only thirty seven years old. We were 1132 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 11: talking to Mario Davis last week and he told us 1133 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 11: that they were Senior Bowl teammates. I mean they came 1134 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 11: out in the same year. Davis who still plays, and 1135 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 11: Kellen Moore is now. 1136 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,479 Speaker 12: As head coach. So yeah, look, there's some challenges there. 1137 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,919 Speaker 11: The week one, he took all three of his time 1138 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,880 Speaker 11: outs into the halftime locker room. Last week he settled 1139 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 11: for a field goal when he was down thirty when 1140 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 11: he could have gone for it. I still think that 1141 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 11: he's figuring things out and you have to give him 1142 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,240 Speaker 11: a chance. He's only coached three games, but this is 1143 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 11: a team that is rebuilding and trying to you know, 1144 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 11: get the ship ready for the future. 1145 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about that. For me, he seems to 1146 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 1: have a pretty solid staff of coaches around him. Brandon 1147 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:54,320 Speaker 1: Staley's a really well an accepted defensive coordinator. Kellen Moore 1148 00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 1: himself has been a you know, Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator. 1149 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,480 Speaker 1: What are they what is it look like, and what 1150 01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: do they feel like they're doing right so far? 1151 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think they have good leadership. Cameron Jordan is 1152 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 11: a tremendous leader. 1153 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:09,920 Speaker 1: To Mario. 1154 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,760 Speaker 12: Davis is a guy that certainly has been a rock 1155 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,000 Speaker 12: down there in New Orleans. 1156 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 11: And I think that this is a team that the 1157 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 11: first two weeks had a chance to win games. They 1158 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 11: play hard. Even last week, even though the score doesn't 1159 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 11: reflect it. Forced to fumble in the fourth quarter, they 1160 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 11: kept them, you know, they kept trying to go after it. 1161 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 12: They didn't just fold in the tent and get on 1162 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 12: the plane. 1163 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,000 Speaker 11: I think that the culture that he's trying to build 1164 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 11: is one that'll fight, that'll play hard. 1165 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,480 Speaker 12: They're not going to lay down. They're not going to 1166 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 12: be intimidated. 1167 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 11: It's just a question of how much talent they have 1168 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 11: to see how many wins they get this year. 1169 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,120 Speaker 2: I'm curious, Andrews, since you were here and observe the 1170 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 2: Bills in the preseason, you know, you kind of probably 1171 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 2: developed some thoughts and inklings as to what this offense 1172 01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 2: would look like once we got to the regular season. 1173 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,000 Speaker 2: After three games, the Bills aren't just a really good 1174 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 2: running team. They're the best running team in football, to 1175 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,880 Speaker 2: the tune of one hundred and sixty three rushing yards 1176 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 2: a game. I think we all thought this was going 1177 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 2: to be a good running team. Did you think it 1178 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 2: would be a top of the league rushing team. 1179 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 11: Yeah, no, I mean, Chris, when in the preseason we 1180 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 11: didn't really see much of James Cook as you would expect. 1181 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,760 Speaker 12: We didn't see Josh either, so it's not a surprise. 1182 01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 12: But he's been running. 1183 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 11: I mean, I don't think I've seen him play this well. 1184 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 11: I mean, we know what he's capable of. We know 1185 01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 11: he had a huge year last year and warranted the 1186 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,760 Speaker 11: contract in the offseason over the summer, but he's just 1187 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 11: running at a different level right now. To me, the 1188 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 11: line seems to be gelling really well. The continuity there 1189 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 11: we know about, as. 1190 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 12: You guys know. 1191 01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 11: I've found it interesting in watching the first three games 1192 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,560 Speaker 11: after having been there in the preseason. 1193 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,000 Speaker 12: The Elijah Moore. 1194 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 11: He I think has found a nice little role in 1195 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 11: this offense. And I love what they're doing with the 1196 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,680 Speaker 11: three tight ends in Jackson Halls. I mean, I think 1197 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 11: that's you know, you know, you look at Alec Anderson. 1198 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,000 Speaker 11: He's only played seven percent of the snaps in the 1199 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 11: first three games compared to last year when he was 1200 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 11: a fixture out there as the extra offensive lineman. It's 1201 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,800 Speaker 11: such a new dimension. We saw the touchdown last week 1202 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,200 Speaker 11: against Miami. So I really think Joe Brady has done 1203 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 11: a very nice job putting this all together. And you know, 1204 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 11: you don't see all of it in the preseason for 1205 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 11: good reason, but you're starting to. 1206 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 12: See it now and boys have been impressive. 1207 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,080 Speaker 1: It's always interesting for me to ask somebody like you 1208 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 1: who watches a ton of football, and you've seen this 1209 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,840 Speaker 1: team in the preseason, of course, but you also saw 1210 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,840 Speaker 1: him last year in their iteration. If you parachuted in 1211 01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,120 Speaker 1: from last year to this year, is there a significant 1212 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 1: difference to you in how this team seems to want 1213 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 1: to win games. 1214 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 12: I think the three tight end thing is interesting. 1215 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 13: I do. 1216 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 11: I think that that is a difference, and I think 1217 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 11: a difference maker. I think Dalton Kincaid and you heard 1218 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 11: Josh talk about it all summer about how you know 1219 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 11: he missed a couple of big plays to Kincaid last year. 1220 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 11: That's something he wanted to get right, to get on 1221 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 11: the relationship with him. And I mean, they've obviously gotten 1222 01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,440 Speaker 11: off to a great start, but now you're throwing the 1223 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 11: third tight end. I just think that you know, they 1224 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 11: can beach in so many different ways, and you know, 1225 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 11: I think when you're a defense, you have to prepare 1226 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 11: for so many different options with this offense. Is Josh 1227 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 11: gonna run? Where's Cook going to be? Now you've got 1228 01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 11: an extra tight end in. We can go with four 1229 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,000 Speaker 11: wides if we want. I just think that when you're 1230 01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 11: an opponent and you've got to spend all week trying 1231 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,480 Speaker 11: to figure out what Brady and what Josh is going 1232 01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 11: to do. 1233 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 12: It's going to drive you crazy. And I think that's 1234 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 12: a huge advantage they have this year. 1235 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 2: Andrew, thanks very much for the time, as always, Safe 1236 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 2: travels up here, and we'll see you up here this weekend. 1237 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,120 Speaker 12: GAT wait to see you guys.

Maybe it's a veteran player 1300 01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:48,680 Speaker 2: that you think has gotten off to a bit of 1301 01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 2: a slow start and you're waiting for them to emerge 1302 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 2: and have an impact on the game. Maybe it's a 1303 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 2: young player that you'd like to see a little bit 1304 01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 2: more out of or see burst onto the scene here 1305 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,280 Speaker 2: this Sunday against the Saints. Aight oh three five point 1306 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,320 Speaker 2: fifty one eight eight eight five point fifty two, five 1307 01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 2: point fifty are the numbers to get on board. 1308 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,000 Speaker 1: We do have some open lines for you. 1309 01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,240 Speaker 2: We are going to crack open the tweets sheeet though, 1310 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 2: which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the 1311 01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,800 Speaker 2: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. And that's 1312 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 2: where Jacob says Ray Davis being more effective in his 1313 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 2: carries if he continues to underwhelm, I fear the lightweight 1314 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 2: fleet of foot Jimbo Cook will wear down or be 1315 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:29,960 Speaker 2: susceptible to injury. 1316 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:31,360 Speaker 1: We need him for the late run. 1317 01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:34,680 Speaker 2: Same goes for Bosa, although I expect his workload to 1318 01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 2: decrease when Hoyt comes back. What do we make of that, Steve, 1319 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,120 Speaker 2: because you noted it last week that Cook's workload is 1320 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,800 Speaker 2: up considerably from what it has been the previous two 1321 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,000 Speaker 2: seasons when he took over the. 1322 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Quote unquote feature back role. 1323 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,400 Speaker 2: And I think there is something to be said for 1324 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,200 Speaker 2: wearing down over the course of his seventeen game season. 1325 01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 2: And you think about how important James Cook was in 1326 01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:01,040 Speaker 2: that AFC Championship game against the chi Without him, it's 1327 01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 2: not a close game. 1328 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:06,919 Speaker 1: That's right. I would say that last year that wasn't 1329 01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 1: a concern. You only had two hundred carries over the 1330 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,440 Speaker 1: course of you know, seven eighteen weeks, twenty weeks with 1331 01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm just I just trust that here, with 1332 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 1: the biometrics that they have, they monitor these guys during 1333 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:25,920 Speaker 1: practice and know they'll manage the load as they get 1334 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:31,280 Speaker 1: down the down stretch. I don't think there's any question 1335 01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:34,640 Speaker 1: they're handing it to him consciously more than they have 1336 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 1: in the past. I don't think it has anything to 1337 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,559 Speaker 1: do with the money. I think it has to do 1338 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,759 Speaker 1: with how good he is and how what a problem 1339 01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,599 Speaker 1: he is. I think they probably heard some feedback from 1340 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 1: around the league, from different coaching staffs and you know, 1341 01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 1: friends and relationships about what they what other teams think 1342 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,080 Speaker 1: of that dude. And I think, well, if they think 1343 01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 1: that we're gonna we're gonna exploit it, you know. I 1344 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,840 Speaker 1: think there's a little bit of that going on. But 1345 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,920 Speaker 1: as I said, he only had two hundred and eight 1346 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 1: carries last year. I think this, what'd I say he 1347 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 1: was on pace for? Like, I don't think he'll come back. Yeah, 1348 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:14,040 Speaker 1: it'll come back to the mean. But you know, they 1349 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,160 Speaker 1: haven't had to do they haven't had to throw the 1350 01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,920 Speaker 1: ball all over the yard yet. Well except for the 1351 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:23,280 Speaker 1: second half in Week one. That's two quarters. That's about it. 1352 01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:24,720 Speaker 1: Two out of twelve quarters is not. 1353 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,920 Speaker 2: I will say this about Ray Davis. I think in 1354 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 2: the opportunities he's had thus far, for some reason, there's 1355 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 2: been a propensity by him to try to bounce runs 1356 01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 2: outside rather than just hitting the hole and taking the 1357 01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,360 Speaker 2: run where it's designed to go. Because I feel he's 1358 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:49,600 Speaker 2: a downhill one cut runner by nature. He's not a 1359 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,839 Speaker 2: bounce it outside guy that's going to find a tremendous 1360 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 2: amount of success out there. So I just want to 1361 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,000 Speaker 2: see him get back to doing what he does best, 1362 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:04,679 Speaker 2: which is coming downhill and lowering shoulders and popping safeties 1363 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 2: out of the hole and knocking people on their backsides. 1364 01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 2: That is the kind of runner that Ray is and 1365 01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:12,479 Speaker 2: we haven't seen that yet. 1366 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,679 Speaker 1: To Jacob's point, yeah, they when Ray has gotten most 1367 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 1: of his carries in the past or at this point 1368 01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,120 Speaker 1: of his career, you have very young career. You know, 1369 01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 1: it's just to put a nail in the you know, 1370 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 1: in the game, you know, to shut. 1371 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:26,680 Speaker 2: Down or set the tone in the game, like he 1372 01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:28,760 Speaker 2: did in Week six against the Jets last year was 1373 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:29,719 Speaker 2: cook out of the lineup. 1374 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: That's right, nine straight runs, ten straight runs, dropping Sauce 1375 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,400 Speaker 1: Gardener on his shoulder blades. I uh, there's a little 1376 01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 1: bit of that going on, and I don't know that 1377 01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 1: he's you know that they've evolved away from that a 1378 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,280 Speaker 1: little bit. But when he's in the game and they're 1379 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 1: handing it to him on a regular basis, it's usually 1380 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:47,639 Speaker 1: the game is trying to be over. 1381 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to step aside, take a break here, 1382 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:52,840 Speaker 2: but more of your phone calls when we come back. 1383 01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,920 Speaker 2: Will lead off with Judy in Buffalo when we return 1384 01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colid of Health, 1385 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:16,559 Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live. 1386 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,519 Speaker 2: PRIs brown Seed Tasker on a Wednesday, where we're asking 1387 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:20,799 Speaker 2: you which Bill's player do you want. 1388 01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 1: To see break out? 1389 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:26,080 Speaker 2: In week four, we return to the phones and we 1390 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 2: go to Judy in Buffalo, and Judy, welcome back to 1391 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,160 Speaker 2: the show. A lot of your fellow listeners, we're missing 1392 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,360 Speaker 2: you here on the show, so glad to have you back. 1393 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,960 Speaker 14: Well, I appreciate that I just haven't had much to say. 1394 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,360 Speaker 14: I've been very happy with the way the buildings playing 1395 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:43,240 Speaker 14: fair enough. 1396 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:44,519 Speaker 13: But. 1397 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:52,280 Speaker 14: I'm concerned. I haven't really heard Greg Russo's name called 1398 01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 14: much in these first three games, and I really thought 1399 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:58,920 Speaker 14: that this would be a year where he started the 1400 01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:02,720 Speaker 14: impactful player. So I'm saying I would like him to 1401 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,240 Speaker 14: break out this week. I would like to see a 1402 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 14: sack or two, or at least it calls on tackles 1403 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 14: or something. I'm very concerned that he is getting lost 1404 01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:14,960 Speaker 14: in the shuffle. 1405 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a valid concern, Judy, and thanks for the call. 1406 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,679 Speaker 2: I mentioned him as the guy I'd like to see 1407 01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 2: breakout because he's been uncharacteristically quiet through the first three weeks. 1408 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,000 Speaker 1: You're not wrong, I think yeah. I think part of 1409 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:34,360 Speaker 1: it is. 1410 01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,360 Speaker 2: And Daikwon Jones told us this when he appeared on 1411 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,280 Speaker 2: our show during training camp, that they are taking a 1412 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,560 Speaker 2: little bit of a different approach up front. This traditionally 1413 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 2: has been a front four that has been coached to 1414 01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 2: attack up the field. Whether it's a run play, a 1415 01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:53,559 Speaker 2: pass play, down in distance does not matter. It's attack, attack, attack, 1416 01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:57,400 Speaker 2: attack at all times. Now they are mixing in a 1417 01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 2: little bit more of the read element of defensive line play. 1418 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:03,920 Speaker 2: Let's read what's happening first and then attack, or let's 1419 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 2: read and react and then make the play. I don't 1420 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 2: know if that change in philosophy is affecting his ability 1421 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 2: to fire and go, because, as we know, he's a 1422 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 2: thinker when it comes to him as a player, his 1423 01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,280 Speaker 2: his makeup as a player. He's a thinker, which often 1424 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,639 Speaker 2: can help him anticipate things that are coming. But if 1425 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 2: he's not one hundred percent sure and he's thinking now, 1426 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,320 Speaker 2: he's not playing fast. So I think all of that 1427 01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 2: is probably rolled into what has compromised his effectiveness through 1428 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,120 Speaker 2: the first three weeks. But I'm just as anxious as 1429 01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:40,120 Speaker 2: you and Judy to see him get back to performing 1430 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 2: and him showing up making noticeable, impactful plays. 1431 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's been noticed by a lot of people. 1432 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,760 Speaker 1: He just haven't heard his name, you know, even even 1433 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,720 Speaker 1: casual fans or now I've heard. I've also heard some 1434 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 1: guys online and who watched a him this and now 1435 01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,640 Speaker 1: he's been really solid. He's been solid, and you know 1436 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 1: that that kind of goes along with he's always been 1437 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:06,800 Speaker 1: solid and you know, sometimes once in a while spectacular, 1438 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:08,920 Speaker 1: but usually he's a very solid player. And they say, 1439 01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,280 Speaker 1: and it seems like he's continuing to be solid, but 1440 01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:15,559 Speaker 1: he hasn't shown up. And this defense because of their 1441 01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 1: third down lack of success in this last game and 1442 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:23,200 Speaker 1: their fourth down lack of success, you know, it's hard 1443 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:24,960 Speaker 1: for them to get off the field, so it doesn't 1444 01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 1: feel like they're being as productive as maybe they are. 1445 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 1: And maybe they're not that far away. But yeah, it's 1446 01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,840 Speaker 1: it's a that's a name that has come up in 1447 01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:33,920 Speaker 1: our conversations. 1448 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 2: Break time for us here because when we come back 1449 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,880 Speaker 2: We're going to be joined in studio by maybe one 1450 01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:41,880 Speaker 2: of the tallest players on the team. One Spencer Brown 1451 01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,280 Speaker 2: will be joining us and making us look rather small 1452 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,840 Speaker 2: here on set.

So you're 1465 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:25,920 Speaker 2: just looking to get off your feet when you come 1466 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:26,880 Speaker 2: out of that game, right. 1467 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:28,960 Speaker 15: Absolutely, it's a lot to put on the body and 1468 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,800 Speaker 15: mentally just trying to get ready for any team. But 1469 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 15: you know that's short week. Some guys might dip out 1470 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 15: and go Toronto, but I was, I was laying down. 1471 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: I believe the game. He came out of the game. 1472 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,479 Speaker 1: Okay everything, Yeah, yeah, all for the most part, you 1473 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 1: were hampering. One of the things that bothered you once 1474 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,320 Speaker 1: in a while as you're back, and what it's is it 1475 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,000 Speaker 1: something they keep you in therapy, They give you exercise 1476 01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:49,599 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. 1477 01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 15: That's just something you come in every single day and 1478 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:53,679 Speaker 15: you know, activated and they have they have a system 1479 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 15: and exercising you do every single day. 1480 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:57,200 Speaker 3: So it's just bread and butter and taking care of 1481 01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:57,599 Speaker 3: the body. 1482 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's part of the prehab they do here. Yeah, 1483 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,479 Speaker 1: it's pretty behavior today off as well. You're yeah, a 1484 01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 1: little bit of a calf. 1485 01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,920 Speaker 15: Yeah, first drive was kind of got a little weird 1486 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,519 Speaker 15: on meduring our last game. 1487 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:09,200 Speaker 3: But it should be. 1488 01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:15,920 Speaker 2: Good looking at this offense through three games. I remember 1489 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 2: we had Connor in here with us during training camp 1490 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 2: when we're out of Fisher and we asked him, Hey, 1491 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,479 Speaker 2: what's a young guy on the team or a new 1492 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,120 Speaker 2: guy on the team that's really impressed you And he 1493 01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:31,040 Speaker 2: couldn't have said spent Jackson Haw's name fast enough And 1494 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:32,800 Speaker 2: I know you know you were a tight end back 1495 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:36,160 Speaker 2: in the day eight man football, But what are your 1496 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:39,960 Speaker 2: impressions of Jackson thus far, because it's clear that Joe 1497 01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,919 Speaker 2: Brady has no problem. He was in thirteen and twelve personnel, 1498 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 2: and you guys are playing bullyball with just about everybody absolutely. 1499 01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,719 Speaker 15: You know, Hawes is just from the jump from spring 1500 01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:50,640 Speaker 15: training in the fall camp. And I wasn't there at 1501 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:52,640 Speaker 15: the beginning of it working with him, but just what 1502 01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,640 Speaker 15: he was putting on tape was very impressive, you know, 1503 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,720 Speaker 15: and get a lot of rookie tight ends will come 1504 01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:59,639 Speaker 15: in and put their hand on the ground and bully around, 1505 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,799 Speaker 15: you know, six seven year defensive ends in the NFL. Yeah, 1506 01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:04,600 Speaker 15: you know, when he's lined up next to me, I 1507 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,120 Speaker 15: have full confidence and it's just like another offensive lineman 1508 01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:08,000 Speaker 15: out there almost. 1509 01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:12,160 Speaker 2: And we're talking like advanced blocking techniques too, like climbing, 1510 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,920 Speaker 2: hitting your target, driving, Like He's not like you get 1511 01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,960 Speaker 2: some tight ends nowadays that are catching eighty passes a 1512 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 2: year in college. They come here, they got work to do. 1513 01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 2: He seems much more advanced in that line of work 1514 01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 2: for that. 1515 01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:29,640 Speaker 15: I mean, yeah, it's not just like hey block this 1516 01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:31,240 Speaker 15: guy and pray that it works out. You know, there's 1517 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,840 Speaker 15: a lot that goes into it. I know Boris works 1518 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,280 Speaker 15: those guys extremely well, very detailed. So he's just taking 1519 01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,320 Speaker 15: a coaching extremely well and believing in the techniques. That's 1520 01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:41,880 Speaker 15: another thing that guys battle when they come in here, 1521 01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,200 Speaker 15: they're learning a whole new thing that they were used 1522 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 15: to for four years in college. And you know, he 1523 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:48,200 Speaker 15: just came in and done everything he's been told to 1524 01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:48,839 Speaker 15: and excelling. 1525 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,120 Speaker 1: So what's your offensive line room? Think about all the 1526 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,120 Speaker 1: three tight end two tight end stuff you're doing. 1527 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:55,639 Speaker 3: I mean, I think we're a fan of its work. 1528 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:57,000 Speaker 3: It's working pretty well. 1529 01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,599 Speaker 15: You know, there's some schemes that we've been running quite 1530 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 15: a bit in the first couple of weeks that we 1531 01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 15: didn't run a lot of last years because we weren't 1532 01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 15: efficient at it, and now all those boys are rolling 1533 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:06,760 Speaker 15: in the tight end room. 1534 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:07,760 Speaker 3: It's working well. 1535 01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,479 Speaker 2: So talk about that a little bit, Spencer, because I'm curious. 1536 01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 2: I would say one of the bigger changes with the 1537 01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,559 Speaker 2: run game is how much you guys have diversified it. 1538 01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 2: Like last year, you guys relied on a lot of 1539 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,479 Speaker 2: the duo stuff and the tackle poll stuff with you 1540 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 2: and Dion, and that was kind of bread and butter 1541 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:27,280 Speaker 2: for you guys, and you were really good at it. 1542 01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, if it works, keep going, But it looked 1543 01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:32,639 Speaker 2: like Coach Cromer and Coach Brady it kind of huddled 1544 01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 2: up in the lab in the offseason. And while they 1545 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,840 Speaker 2: want to diversify, you guys still have to be good 1546 01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,600 Speaker 2: at executing it. But how much do you feel you 1547 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:45,080 Speaker 2: guys have capably expanded the menu for Coach Brady to 1548 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:46,400 Speaker 2: call on a given game day. 1549 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,200 Speaker 15: I mean, I think it helps out a lot, just 1550 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,640 Speaker 15: schematically going against teams. Now with the tackle poll and 1551 01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 15: the doo and stuff like that, you can only run 1552 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:53,760 Speaker 15: that so many times until the defense will put their 1553 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 15: foot in the ground and then say we're not running 1554 01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,640 Speaker 15: this again. So now that you have you know, two 1555 01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,799 Speaker 15: three tight ends in the game, you can run those plays. 1556 01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,800 Speaker 15: And also you can see Howsey can catch, Dawson can catch, 1557 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 15: Dalton can catch. So it's just you can run those plays, 1558 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 15: build up, build up. Also we can send these three 1559 01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,559 Speaker 15: guys on a route as well, so it just comes 1560 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,400 Speaker 15: into play with every single scheme we're trying to you know, 1561 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,479 Speaker 15: put out there. But having those three guys working really 1562 01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:18,040 Speaker 15: well with us is a huge advantage. 1563 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,960 Speaker 1: You're one of the teams that it felt like and 1564 01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how it felt to you guys. You know, 1565 01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,720 Speaker 1: you get into the Jet game, and of course you 1566 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,639 Speaker 1: get up from they struggled to score against your defense. 1567 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 1: But you get in the Miami game, you know those 1568 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:30,880 Speaker 1: guys have got some firepower on that their offense. Of course, 1569 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:35,559 Speaker 1: Baltimore game was an absolute roller coaster of a ride. 1570 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,519 Speaker 1: But you get into this game against Miami, get even 1571 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,599 Speaker 1: the Jet game to a certain extent, you feel like 1572 01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,679 Speaker 1: you've got another gear. We've seen this offense have another gear, 1573 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,760 Speaker 1: Josh Obbs. Obviously you went through in the last five 1574 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:48,760 Speaker 1: minutes of the Baltimore game. You shifted that gear and 1575 01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 1: put your foot on a gas. But you're scoring thirty 1576 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,880 Speaker 1: points a game, even though you know it doesn't feel 1577 01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:56,880 Speaker 1: like you've really hit your stride yet. You guys have 1578 01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:57,920 Speaker 1: conversations like that. 1579 01:19:58,160 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's funny to bring that up because I ha 1580 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,840 Speaker 15: a Dalton at his house sometime this week. But I 1581 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:05,559 Speaker 15: was just like, dude, if we have like two, three, 1582 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,400 Speaker 15: three and outs, it feels like we're like, what the 1583 01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 15: hell's going on? 1584 01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 16: Right? 1585 01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,719 Speaker 15: And I used to come off the field after three plays, 1586 01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 15: But you know, Brady always preaches that get one first 1587 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:14,360 Speaker 15: down and then that will set you up for the 1588 01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,479 Speaker 15: rest of the drive. So really the hardest part of 1589 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:18,800 Speaker 15: a drive is just getting it started, getting the ball rolling, 1590 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,360 Speaker 15: and then once you do that, you can start dipping 1591 01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 15: in other buckets of how to attack and instead of 1592 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,120 Speaker 15: just three plays, oh we got to restart again, So 1593 01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 15: just getting the ball rolling and be'st way to go 1594 01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:27,599 Speaker 15: about that. 1595 01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: And then what what would you say? So we've already 1596 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 1: talked to you a lot about twelve and thirteen personnel, 1597 01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 1: so I actually went and looked it up. So when 1598 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,440 Speaker 1: you guys are in twelve and thirteen through three games, 1599 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,639 Speaker 1: you're averaging seven point two yards per carry. That leads 1600 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:44,880 Speaker 1: the NFL. So yes, it is very good. 1601 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 2: But to your point, you're gonna get to a point 1602 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:51,920 Speaker 2: in the season where Coach Brady I'm thinking, might be like, hey, 1603 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,360 Speaker 2: we got a few tendency breakers in the game plan here, 1604 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,240 Speaker 2: and you've already mentioned like how many different variations you 1605 01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,120 Speaker 2: can spin off of the run game in twelve and 1606 01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:04,160 Speaker 2: thirteen because you got three guys that can catch. I mean, 1607 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,360 Speaker 2: do you guys feel that in some ways you can 1608 01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 2: remain unpredictable even in those sets because of all those 1609 01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:12,760 Speaker 2: variations that can come off of it. 1610 01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:14,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the variations help a lot. 1611 01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,960 Speaker 15: And even as the season goes on, we'll see how 1612 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,120 Speaker 15: people are trying to scheme against us and how to 1613 01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:20,920 Speaker 15: you know, stop the things that we're doing, and then 1614 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:22,840 Speaker 15: we'll start throwing in the little wrinkles as well. You know, 1615 01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,000 Speaker 15: I can do it. I'm not gonna get into it 1616 01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:30,040 Speaker 15: and start giving stuff away. But that Brady Chrome and Boris, 1617 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 15: I mean, they're heads together and they said they spent 1618 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:34,920 Speaker 15: two three days together over this by you know, looking 1619 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:36,559 Speaker 15: at the past three games and things that we can 1620 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:37,439 Speaker 15: switch and make better. 1621 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward. It should be so rolling. 1622 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 1: That's awesome. 1623 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,040 Speaker 2: Time now for this week's tim Bits time Out Question 1624 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,479 Speaker 2: for Spencer's presented by Tim Horton's, where we asked the 1625 01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,599 Speaker 2: fans to ask Bill's players a unique question. This one 1626 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 2: comes from Andrew and he says, we all know you 1627 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,720 Speaker 2: have a farming background, and we know Josh Allen. 1628 01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:56,559 Speaker 1: Also grew up on a farm. 1629 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,320 Speaker 2: Do you guys ever talk about farming and are there 1630 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,280 Speaker 2: any far any farming stories that you can share? 1631 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 3: Well? 1632 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 1: Do you talk about farming? First of all? 1633 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:08,519 Speaker 15: Is that come up every I mean we've talked about 1634 01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:10,479 Speaker 15: a little bit, but it's not like a mainstay in 1635 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:13,479 Speaker 15: our conversations. But there's one story, but I don't think 1636 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:17,800 Speaker 15: you would want me to say. Okay, so definitely not 1637 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 15: suitable for the air, but a lot of that goes 1638 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:21,719 Speaker 15: on out there. It's very natural world. 1639 01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 1: So Josh. 1640 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,400 Speaker 2: Josh used to always say that the most challenging work 1641 01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,920 Speaker 2: on his farm was laying irrigation pipe because you get 1642 01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,679 Speaker 2: a hot summer day and you gotta lay that pipe. 1643 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:33,800 Speaker 2: That metal is hot. Obviously you got to wear long 1644 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 2: sleeves or you can get burned. What would you say 1645 01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:39,200 Speaker 2: was the hardest task on your farm growing up? What 1646 01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,519 Speaker 2: was the most challenging task. 1647 01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 3: We never had to lay your gation pipe. 1648 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:48,760 Speaker 15: Now there's rain out there, and yeah, that's God's country apparently. 1649 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,760 Speaker 15: But probably the worst thing that I hated doing was 1650 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 15: walking beans or chopping thistles. 1651 01:22:56,080 --> 01:23:00,240 Speaker 3: Being we're talking here, Yeah, yeah, it was. So you 1652 01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:01,120 Speaker 3: do the crawd rotation. 1653 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,759 Speaker 15: So one one year it's corn one of your beans 1654 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,360 Speaker 15: of flip flops, but you'd be straight kernels that end 1655 01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,439 Speaker 15: up on the ground and then when spring or when 1656 01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,760 Speaker 15: summer comes around, they start growing those the cornstocks will 1657 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:12,599 Speaker 15: start growing with the beans. So you go out there 1658 01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 15: and my dad would just drop us off at like 1659 01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:15,679 Speaker 15: eight in the morning, be like be back at noon, 1660 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,599 Speaker 15: and you just have a water jugg in here walking 1661 01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:18,880 Speaker 15: around a beanfield for four hours. 1662 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,120 Speaker 1: You're hand picking and what do you got a bag 1663 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,600 Speaker 1: a satchel over your shoulder to just just pull it 1664 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:25,479 Speaker 1: and lay it down, let. 1665 01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:27,320 Speaker 3: It, shop it and throw it down the thistles. 1666 01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,040 Speaker 15: That was the more annoying part because you'd have to 1667 01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,080 Speaker 15: take the buds off of every thistle, put in a bag, 1668 01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 15: and then shop the plant out. 1669 01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, because the thistles got all the seeds and you 1670 01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 1: don't want those. 1671 01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,040 Speaker 3: Germany that's all the seeds go. 1672 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 1: So that's just really tedious. Time pipe is actually leasier 1673 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:46,880 Speaker 1: than that because you you just gotta I just gotta 1674 01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 1: screw it together and walk away. You have to screw 1675 01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 1: it together. They just they pop together with a with 1676 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:55,440 Speaker 1: a gasket and just slide it in and Southwest Kansas knowledge. 1677 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,479 Speaker 3: And let him know they didn't do anything out there. 1678 01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,680 Speaker 2: Well, Spence, listen, thanks for taking some time.

And 1737 01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,880 Speaker 17: I think it's a powerful tool that not just myself, 1738 01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:48,400 Speaker 17: but a lot of people on this team use. And I 1739 01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,680 Speaker 17: think doctor Dez does a great job with that of, 1740 01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:54,400 Speaker 17: you know, relaying that to certain guys on the team 1741 01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:56,560 Speaker 17: that that may need something like that, because you know, 1742 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,800 Speaker 17: everybody's got their own type of process that that helps them. 1743 01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:00,840 Speaker 13: And that's just something that helps me. 1744 01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:03,920 Speaker 18: Talks about taking care of the football, that's not a 1745 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:07,280 Speaker 18: new novel idea first quarterback, but over the last season 1746 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,240 Speaker 18: and a half two seasons, you've been really good at protecting. 1747 01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:14,599 Speaker 18: Was there something that happened that clicked that it just started, 1748 01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:16,520 Speaker 18: or maybe you just made it more of a priority 1749 01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 18: of protecting the ball. 1750 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:20,240 Speaker 13: Well, then I think if you look at it from 1751 01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 13: a few different scopes. 1752 01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:25,240 Speaker 17: You have Joe Brady, you have James Cook, and you 1753 01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,559 Speaker 17: have our offensive line, and then you have our skill 1754 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 17: guys and just knowing that, you know, handing the ball 1755 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 17: off and letting James do his thing and allowing us 1756 01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 17: to see some more one high and you know, and 1757 01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:39,439 Speaker 17: split safety passes again, having a guy like Khalil and 1758 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,360 Speaker 17: Indulton that you can rely on, and then we have 1759 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:45,439 Speaker 17: opportunities outside with you know, Keon and Josh and Curtis 1760 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,360 Speaker 17: and you know, just that whole everybody eats mentality that 1761 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,640 Speaker 17: Joe's kind of allowed us to take over, you know, 1762 01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:53,760 Speaker 17: has allowed me to be free and not worry about 1763 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 17: so much where the ball's going. You know, there's been 1764 01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 17: a game where I didn't have to do much, you know, 1765 01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,479 Speaker 17: Week two, just handed off and let James James go, 1766 01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:04,400 Speaker 17: and you know, that's just kind of what I'm I'm 1767 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:05,920 Speaker 17: just just trying to do what I'm being asked to do, 1768 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 17: and that's again, take care of the football and score points. 1769 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:09,559 Speaker 3: All right. 1770 01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:13,680 Speaker 2: So that's Josh Allen addressing the media there, and we 1771 01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:17,960 Speaker 2: were just talking about that how being able to just 1772 01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,720 Speaker 2: throw to the open man has been very freeing for 1773 01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:24,439 Speaker 2: him within the scope of the passing game. He does 1774 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 2: not feel ever now, probably for the past year plus, 1775 01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,000 Speaker 2: that he has to force the ball to anybody. 1776 01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:31,960 Speaker 1: He simply has. 1777 01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:35,440 Speaker 2: To deliver it to whomever is open, and it's worked 1778 01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,000 Speaker 2: ridiculously well for this offense. 1779 01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think too. I think that's a sign towards 1780 01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:45,200 Speaker 1: he finally realizes that's the best way to win it. 1781 01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,840 Speaker 1: It's not him like pulling it down and taking off 1782 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:49,960 Speaker 1: and running or doing something out of the ordinary. Just 1783 01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,639 Speaker 1: play within the scope of the play. Take what's there, 1784 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:54,880 Speaker 1: and you're going to stay on the football field. You're 1785 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:56,720 Speaker 1: going to make first downs, and you're going to end 1786 01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,240 Speaker 1: up in points one way or the other. And just 1787 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,880 Speaker 1: keep doing that throughout the game, and you know you're 1788 01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,559 Speaker 1: gonna love the result. They're they're gonna score thirty points 1789 01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 1: on a bad day where they've got three couple of 1790 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:10,200 Speaker 1: three and outs. Yeah, you know, they're scoring thirty points. 1791 01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 1: So he's right, And I think that's a that's a lesson. 1792 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,240 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of quarterbacks would love to be 1793 01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:20,400 Speaker 1: able to learn and utilize. I don't think every team 1794 01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:22,920 Speaker 1: can do that. They just because they don't have the 1795 01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:25,160 Speaker 1: offensive line, they don't have the weapons around and certainly 1796 01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:25,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback. 1797 01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:30,000 Speaker 2: And it also makes the offense more unpredictable because they're 1798 01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,120 Speaker 2: not going to just one guy all the time. That's 1799 01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,720 Speaker 2: it for us today. Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas on 1800 01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:35,439 Speaker 2: with us tomorrow. 1801 01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:35,920 Speaker 1: We'll see it what
