00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live presented by Called Light of Health,

2
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: Ring the Bell. It's Thursday, Chris Brown, Steve tasking with you.

3
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: One Bills Live is the program. Glad to have you

4
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: with us as we inch closer to a Week four

5
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore, where the forecast

6
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: is relatively unchanged. Rain and lots of it expected on Sunday.

7
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: As her Hurricane Ian has crossed the peninsula of Florida,

8
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: it is kind of inching its way up the eastern

9
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: seaboard there and by the end of the week could

10
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: be impacting the Baltimore DC area with potent amounts of rain,

11
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: and we'll have to see how much it impacts the

12
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. As for the second straight week, the

13
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: Bills could be in a game where where the weather

14
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: conditions are a factor. We'll see it's a turf field,

15
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: so I don't know it's a grass field. I keep

16
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: getting crossed up on this. It's a grass field. I

17
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: gotta whack myself over the head and just say it's

18
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: a grass field. As a grass field. It's a grass field.

19
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Say it twenty five times over to get it right.

20
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Grass field Steve is concerned that the tarp is not

21
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: waterproof down there in Baltimore. It's gonna have no faith

22
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: in targets. It's gonna be a cruddy day. It's it's

23
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: just you know, come on, give us. You know, last year,

24
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: the Bill has had a lot of home games with

25
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: pre sip and road games too, and a couple of

26
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: road what they have the lightning delay in Kansas City

27
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: last year, remember exactly fifteen minute lightning delay. Same thing

28
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. The field was sloppy in Tennessee, which led

29
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: to the wind for the Titans when the last fourth

30
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: down play. It was it was one thing after another. Um,

31
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: We're like the team seems to be like Charlie Brown

32
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: character pig Pen where you know he has he has

33
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: the dust, that cloud that follows him. Ramsey's filthy. Well,

34
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown has the rain cloud following him. That's it.

35
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's the rain cloud that follows

36
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: him around wherever they go. The weather. It's like going

37
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: to thought you're going to you're going to Baltimore, Maryland.

38
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Oh no, you know what, We're

39
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna throw a hurricane in the mix. Yeah, right or

40
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: remnants thereof Yeah, because it's it's not gonna be even worse.

41
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: I would not anticipate you would want it. If you're

42
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be totally honest with it, you'd want

43
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: it to be a full fledged shirt because then they'd

44
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: play the thing in Minneapolis like Tampa Bay in Kansas

45
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: City are doing. You'd put their games, put their game

46
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. I don't think it's they haven't officially moved

47
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: it yet though. I think Tampa Bay's kind of pitching

48
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: to keep it. Yeah, the mayor is, which is strange

49
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: because you got too much going on exactly. That's what

50
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean. Things you get there are gaining important things,

51
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Like we know here in Orchard

52
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: Park they use the Erie County Sheriff's for traffic control

53
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: and those kind of things. I can't imagine that the

54
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: municipality of Tampa Bay is going to have the manpower

55
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: to offer a football game to run traffic control around

56
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers stadium. I mean, I don't know what Tampa.

57
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a little busy with other stuff. Tampa's

58
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: north of where it hit, not that far, but north

59
00:03:53,960 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and it isn't doesn't like like here, don't we all

60
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: like pitch in when we get like a Snovember. Don't

61
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: we all like look out for each other. Don't we

62
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: all like check in on our neighbors. Don't we all

63
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: like understand that, you know what I'm I can't you know,

64
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: the fire department's busier with other stuff than than my

65
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: cat in the tree kind of thing, all of that,

66
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: And yet Tampa Bay is like, I know, you guys

67
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: got hit with a with a Cat five hurricane, Like, yes,

68
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: twelve foot storms. Right, I got all that, But you

69
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: know what, we got a game, did we gotta get on.

70
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna need our police officers and

71
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: our and our e mts. And we're gonna have them

72
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: up here, don't Yeah that's a little tone deaf to me. Yeah, yeah,

73
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it wasn't. Maybe maybe listen to

74
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: millions of people without power, who's gonna be able to watch?

75
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: Don't want to go to the game. I got my

76
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: house and don't have a roof, right for my first

77
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: floor is underwater, or at least it was underwater. Yeah,

78
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: my my my brought my pristine house and yard looked

79
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: like the aftermath of a Bill's playoff game in the

80
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: parking lot. That's what my front yard looks like. I

81
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: don't really want to go. I really don't want to

82
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: go to the game. Did you see the footage? Did

83
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: you see the footage? This guy is filming from his house.

84
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: He's in his house, he hunkered down. A lot of

85
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: flooding in his area. Not a ton of damage, but

86
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: a lot of flooding. Right, he's shooting his video off

87
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: his phone. His neighbors across the street and they're swimming

88
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: in their front yard because there's so much water. They

89
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: got their pool toys out there and they're inflatables and

90
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: they're just floating around swimming. After the storm has passed through.

91
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: This guy shooting him with his cell phone video and

92
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: he goes looking, I can't even say it, look at

93
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: my idiot neighbors. They're out there swimming. We got gators

94
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: out here and they're swimming in the front yard. Like

95
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: he goes, there's alligators all over this place, and they're

96
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: out there swimming. He's like, I got dumb neighbors. And

97
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm with you, puddy. Yeah, because you you

00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: that seemed to surface every time. There's it's not from yesterday,

101
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm not gonna call it that, but I've yeah,

102
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm your suspect. I suspect that it perhaps

103
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: was of a different Nevertheless, nevertheless, that shark was swimming

104
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: in some street somewhere. Yeah. And I you know this too.

111
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: confluence that's a step above raw sewage barely. Yeah. So

112
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: I found that one humor as he's yelling at his neighbors,

113
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: he's mad, his neighbors are dumb in his estimation property,

Speaker 1: it was a good it was a good entertainment value

115
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: in that forty second video is pretty good. And then

116
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: you got the Weather Channel. People listen they're they're out

117
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: of their head. I mean, I know you want to

118
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: be on the front line of the storm. That's Tim

119
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: Cantor got hit by a palm tree branch. Uh you

120
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: got He got his colleague, Stephanie Abrams. She's got a

121
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: batting helmet on. Yeah, out there, it's just you gotta

122
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: wear a batting helmet to little Lovably, there's a little

123
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: showmanship in that. You don't need to see a guy

124
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: standing out there, just have him on, have him a

125
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: voice over inside, you know what I mean. They could

126
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: be in the hotel looking and have the camera shooting outside.

127
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: But it's it's sensational to have him out there. You

128
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: can see the wind affecting him. I get that. And

129
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: I know this too, and I and I said it.

130
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. I mean, you gotta know people

131
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: are gonna die because of this. It's bad, all right.

132
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: This thing it took forever to get across the state.

133
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: It was a miles per hour. You can almost, you know,

134
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: jog and keep up with it. I don't know what

135
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: you want to right if you're getting get in the eye,

136
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: just stay in there all the way across. It's crazy,

137
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. Yeah, and then now it's gonna go out

138
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: and it's gonna go off the east coast of Florida. Yah,

139
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna go off the east coast of Florida into

140
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: the warm waters of the South Atlantic gain momentum again.

141
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: And they said it maybe get back into hurricane form

142
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: before it hits South Carolina. Yeah, not good. And Charleston

143
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: is so low lying as a harbor, the whole thing

144
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: will be underwater. It'll be It's bad. It's gonna and

145
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: so now, and you know, it just makes you wonder

146
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: what you know. Seriously, Tampa Bay, you really want to

147
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: have the Bucks play this weekend, that's what they said.

148
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: Apparently they tweeted it out on their Twitter hand it

149
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: will play our week four matchup at Raymond James Stadium

150

Speaker 1: prayer hands emoji. Is that like? That's really man? That's

152
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: a little tone deaf, isn't it. We in Buffalo have

153
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: done that. We we moved one of the games with

154
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: the Jets over to Detroit. That was right, Yeah, that

155
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: was for November. And you we've had a game moved

156
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: to Tuesday. Yeah, because of COVID remember, Oh, yeah, we've

157
00:09:53,320 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: had games moved to Monday. I mean yeah, I don't know.

158
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: The NFL seemingly gave them an alternative, they chose not

159
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: to take it. So it is what it is. The

160
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: powers that be make those decisions, So I don't know.

161
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: It's well, we're not done with it, that's for sure.

162
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: That's right. That's right with it, and and the Bills

163
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: will probably see some remnants of it on Sunday at

164
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: M ANDT Bank Stadium when they play the Ravens. Speaking

165
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: of the Ravens, quarterback Lamar Jackson named AFC Offensive Player

166
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: of the Month, no surprise there. Leads the league with

167
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: ten touchdown passes. It was also run for two touchdown passes.

168
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: Leads the league in passer rating. His game has clearly

169
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: taken another step from the passing perspective, and the Ravens

170
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: are reaping the benefits. I'm going to be putting this

171
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: in my six things to watch for in my weekend

172
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: look at column on Buffalo Bills dot com. This is

173
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: not the Ravens offense you remember from a couple of

174
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: years ago. It is far more varied and more big

175
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: play oriented Steve. They've got eleven plays of twenty five

176
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: yards or more so far this season three games. Ye,

177
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: Lamar's got a seventy five yard touchdown run. They've got

178
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: four other guys who also have long runs or three

179
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: other I guess that have long runs, one of them

180
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. So Steve, they I'll break it down

181
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: for you. Eleven plays of twenty five yards or more

182
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: in three games, including touchdowns of twenty five, twenty six,

183
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: fifty five, seventy five, and seventy nine yards, which is

184
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: the one our MSG viewers are looking at right now.

185
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: The seventy nine yard run by Lamar against the Dolphins Duvernais,

186
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: A burner Bateman runs in the four threes. Those are

187
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: top two receivers. So what you remember are about the

188
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: Ravens the last time the Bills played them, which was, Hey,

189
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: let's run this three tight end offense and put the

190
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: defense into a pickle because you want to come out

191
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: and put linebackers on the field because we have three

192
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: tight ends. Now we're gonna throw it on age because

193
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: we got tight ends that can separate against linebackers. All right,

194
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: you want to put athletic dbs on the field, Now,

195
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna pound you in the run game. Here comes

196
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: our three hundred pound fullback. Have fun with that right now.

197
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: And also it was a quandary I was reading this

198
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: to you earlier. They've morphed into this. Now they have

199
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent of their plays or either in twenty

200
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: one personnel or twenty two personnel. That's that's different. Yeah,

201
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: they played the personnel, so they'll still play big Yeah,

202
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: and twelve personnel or twenty four percent of the time.

203
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: So it's high number league wide. That's a high number.

204
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of their plays are in twenty one, twenty

205
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: two or twelve. Only ten percent of their plays are

206
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: in the formation or the personnel grouping that the Bills

207
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: use ninety percent of the time. It's opposite. Yeah, three

208
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: wides one Bills are eleven personnel. Yeah, you're right. And

209
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: I saw this from Warren Sharp from Sharp Football Analysis.

210
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: Blitzing Lamar is apparently a bad idea. Last week against

211
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Patriots defense pressured Lamar on early downs

212
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: at a rate of fifty six percent through the first

213
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: three quarters of the game, so more than half the

214
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: time they were sending pressures at him. It was the

215
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: highest rate of any defense in the league so far.

216
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: This year, So they just decided we're gonna blitz the

217
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: snot at a Lamar right against the Blitz last week

218
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: facing the Patriots, Lamar Jackson, are you ready? Eleven of

219
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: twelve passing and four touchdowns. Yeah. And I tweeted this

220
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: earlier before we came on the air. Lamar Jackson currently

221
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: leads the league in passer rating against the Blitz one

222
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: point eight. When he's not pressured, he leads the league

223
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: in passer rating with a rating one twenty eight point six.

224
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do with this guy? That's

225
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: not even talking about his running, We're just talking about

226
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: his passing, right, Yeah, he's listen, folks, He's a handful

227
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: as good as josh has played this year. Lamar's right

228
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: there with him. Yeah, he is having a better a

229
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: season than josh Is and josh Is in the MVP conversation,

230
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Lamar has already won one. Um. He is a thrower

231
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: of the football and he throws it really well. This

232
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: is all right. We keep saying it, and I haven't

233
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: heard much feedback from our listeners or on social media,

234
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia or ay this. This is gonna be a

235
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: heck of a game. This is gonna be a really

236
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: difficult game to go in there and win. They are

237
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: fifty games over one loss record, they're eighty eighty two

238
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: and thirty thirty two, two and thirty two in this

239
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: stadium coming, we're gonna go almost in seventy two percent

240
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: winning percent. And they've got the best quarterback they've ever

241
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: had playing for him on Sunday. Yeah, yeah, it's this

242
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: is a really tough game now. Not for nothing, Josh

243
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Allen is second in the league in passer rating against

244
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: the Blitz with a one thirty five point nine marks,

245
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: so he's right behind. Yeah. The thing too, Lamar's thrown

246
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: at eighty eight time, just under thirty times a game

247
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: in the first three weeks, you know, and you know

248
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,479
Speaker 1: he threw it seventeen in week one, eighteen in week three,

249
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: and the middle the middle, No, I'm sorry, he threw

250
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: it thirty times in week one, twenty nine times in

251
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: week three, and twenty nine times in week two. They

252
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: throw it thirty times a game. That's right where their

253
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: numbers are. Josh, of course, we know he had the

254
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: huge game this last week and he's thrown in one

255
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two times for nine ts two interceptions.

256
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Lamar has ten tds and two interceptions. It's and Lamar's

257
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: got a couple of rushing touchdowns to boot. Now here's

258
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: the interesting thing. In the last two times these teams

259
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: have played the divisional playoff in twenty twenty and then

260
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: late in the season twenty nineteen, both defenses have held

261
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: these guys under wraps. They've performed below their season averages. Right,

262
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to happen this time.

263
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,359
Speaker 1: It's like these guys and their respective games, their individual

264
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: games have reached a level where it is a weekend

265
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: and week out problem. I mean, these guys are not headaches,

266
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: they're migraines for defenses, you know what I mean. Yeah,

267
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: they're great players that are playing really well. Um, and

268
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: we playing really well weekend week out. Lamar can't be

269
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: blamed for the collapse they had in the fourth quarter

270
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: against Miami. That wasn't his, That wasn't him. That was

271
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: a fourth down, that was a big turnover. I mean,

272
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: that gave the ball back to Miami. That was probably

273
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: the only thing you can point to for Lamar in company.

274
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: That was a young secondary that got decimated as well,

275
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: and they just couldn't. They couldn't hold up. They blew

276
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: a couple of coverages and and two A saw it. Yeah,

277
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: Lamar's it's hard man, He's scary. They are. Yeah. And

278
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: if they and if and if you stop the plink

279
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: andy plink plink, they go boom quick. They are a

280
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: big play capable. DuVernay is a really good player. Bateman

281
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: is having a real first round kicking. He's got some

282
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: physical traits. Um. Yeah, And then this came about Mark Andrews.

283
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: This game worries is their leading receiver. This game really

284
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: worries me. What can I say? I think it's gonna

285
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: be a very nip and tuck game. I think this

286
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be a close game. And once again, the

287
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: naysayers that knock the Bills for their record in close games,

288
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: they might be coming out again because this is I

289
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: think this is going to be a tight one. I

290
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: really do. You got two coaches who run their program

291
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: the same way. They're off the same coaching tree of

292
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. They know each other very well. Their team's

293
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: offensive schemes are somewhat similar. I mean, even Harbaugh said

294
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: on Wednesday when he met the media in Baltimore, he goes.

295
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: Our offenses are strikingly similar and what we try to

296
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: do well, particularly two, since they got those two unicorns

297
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: playing quarterback. Eighty one percent of the plays run through

298
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen for Buffalo and eighty seven percent or something

299
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: like that, run through Lamar for Baltimore. It's you know,

300
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: they got a guy that they're building around that. Now.

301
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: The Ravens run the ball significantly more than the Bills do,

302
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: significantly more um but that's the way they do it.

303
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: Their personnel, they run it that way, and that's the

304
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: way they're successful. Both teams coming into this two and one,

305
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: both their losses coming to the same team in Miami.

306
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting and both teams probably looking at each

307
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: looking at themselves, going, how do we lose to those guys? Right?

308
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: A little bit at least. So it's but it's in

309
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore in a rainstorm. I hate this game. Yeah, I

310
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: hate this game. Isn't it funny that when the Bills

311
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: finally came up with a passing game that's virtually unstoppable,

312
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: they can't stop running into weather games. It had a

313
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: fifteen years the drought, and you had sunny You had

314
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: sunny games in November for crying out. Now you're getting

315
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: hurricanes in September. It's yeah, it's like Mother Nature's got

316
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: it out for us here. I don't want to I

317
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: don't even want that about it. Let's go to the

318
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: phones though, at eight oh three oh five fifty one

319
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty is we

320
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: do want to hear from you today. Topic of discussion

321
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: that we want to have with you which will have

322
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: a bigger impact on A Bill's win over the Ravens Sunday,

323
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: A Bill's offense returns to form B Bill's defense stops

324
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: Lamar in company. You let us know at eight three

325
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty. But

326
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: we lead off with rich in Rochester, Rich, what do

327
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: you got for us? Year on one? Bills live THI guys,

328
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: I just uh, I worry about this game year and

329
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: I think that the weather is going to play a

330
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: big factor in that we're going to have to be

331
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: able to run the ball. But one of the things

332
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about I tried to get through

333
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and there's something that's really about

334
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: it that to play before the safety in the zone,

335
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: those heads the player what looked like a safety, and

336
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: when he felled down, his knee had to be in

337
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: the end zone, and yet they put the ball at

338
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: the half yard line, and if he was going the

339
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: other way, it wouldn't have been a touchdown. So I

340
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: wanted to know why they didn't call that a safety then,

341
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: and that would have given him thirty seconds or to

342
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: have accomplished what they needed to on the other So

343
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: he's talking about Miami's third down play when they were

344
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: backed up. I can't remember exactly, but if here's it's worth.

345
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: If his knee goes down, it's not where his knee

346
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: goes down's where the ball is when his knee goes down. Now,

347
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: if the ball was in the end zone when his

348
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: knee went down, you're right they missed. It should have

349
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: been safety there. If the ball was outside the end zone,

350
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: which is what they ruled, and knee goes down, they

351
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: spot it where the ball is. It's where the ball is,

352
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: not where the knee is. But I yeah, and you're right,

353
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: it was very close, very close. Yeah, and it would

354
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: have saved him thirty seconds. You're right about that, So yeah,

355
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: it's I don't think they missed it, but I only

356
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: looked at it once live because I was already down

357
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: on the field by that point. Yeah, I thought I

358
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: have the best look at it. I saw a quick

359
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: review and I thought, yeah, they kind of got that right,

360
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: don't I don't remember being outraged by that. I knew

361
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: I was concerned about. I thought, hey, did they miss

362
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: that and stuff? And I think I got a quick

363
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: replay from the television crew when they went to the

364
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: fourth down they were gonna punt, there was a little

365
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: gap there. They showed a quick replay, and I think, yeah,

366
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember being upset that that was down outside

367
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: the end zone. Gotcha. Okay, that's fair, But that's all

368
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: I remember about it. If I put it out of

369
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: my mind, it's because I was not outraged. Okay, we

370
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: go to Tom on the west side next. What do

371
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: you got first time? Good morning guys. I've been trying

372
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: to get on all week. But I guess it's approprole

373
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: that you answered my call on my birthday. Still, thank you.

374
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: There you go, Happy birthday. There's our gift to you.

375
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: I'm not too worried about the offense, although I do

376
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: I believe it's gonna have to be a running game

377
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: mostly and I will be all right, Josh can throw

378
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: the ball in the rain as long as it's not

379
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: a downpour and it's supposed to be white rain, I hear.

380
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: But anyway, I gotta get my vote to the defense

381
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking, with our injuries at cornerback, couldn't we

382
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: draw an extra linebacker and their albeit either Dobson or Bernard,

383
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: and then we can move Tarn Johnson back to play

384
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: true corner. Yeah. I don't know if what your point

385
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: is good. I don't know if Tarn is your answer

386
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: for that. He hasn't played outside and I can't remember

387
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: the last time he played outside probably rookie to the

388
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: field or the boundary. I can't remember the last time

389
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: he's played outside corner. He kind of came in and

390
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: lined up in the slot and never moved. But your

391
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: point is a valid one time, because, as Steve just

392
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: pointed out at the top of the show, they play

393
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: a ton of twelve and twenty one personnel, which could

394
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: afford you at least the option to occasionally go to

395
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: a three linebacker. Look if you wanted to do that,

396
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: and it's a monsoon and you know they're running the

397
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: ball right, and it may it may entice them to

398
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: go eleven personnel a little bit more. Um, they the Ravens.

399
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: The Ravens. If they if they want to match up

400
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: with your linebackers and go light when you go heavy,

401
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: you know, you may get them trying to, you know,

402
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: trying to do something left handed a little bit. They

403
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: don't do it very much. Maybe they're not as good

404
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: at it that kind of thing. But then again, you're

405
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: stuck with three linebackers against their eleven personnel. So good

406
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: luck with that. Yeah, it's a it's a chess game.

407
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: It's going to continue to be that. It will be.

408
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: I I thought this too when I when I read

409
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: those stats. Um yeah, how does seventy one percent of

410
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: their of their plays, Um no, I'm sorry, eighty one

411
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: percent of their plays are out of two running back

412
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: or two tight end personnel. That's a lot. And I

413
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: don't know that that might not be the one thing

414
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: that gets Bill the Bills to play something other than

415
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: their nickel covering. I think we have to take the

416
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: twelve personnel with a little bit of a grain of salt, Steve,

417
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: And this is why the second tight end more often

418
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: than not is Isaiah likely their rookie, and he is

419
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: not a tight end in the traditional sense. He's not

420
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: Mike Gasicki, but he's like a six two. He looks

421
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: like an h back, you know what I mean. And

422
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: so even though you've got twelve personnel on the field,

423
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: in a way, it's kind of a hybrid eleven. What

424
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: about Patrick Ricard when he's on the field, Well, that's different,

425
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: and he's a fullback. That's the twenty one personnel that

426
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,239
Speaker 1: you're looking at there. Yeah, that's different. That I'll give you.

427
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: That is different. So that but the twelve personnel, I'm

428
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: curious to know how many times it's likely on the field,

429
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: because if Isaiah likely's on the field, he's not a

430
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: get in the line and block the snot out of

431
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: people tight end. Andrews can do that. We know that

432
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: he's a big dude. He can also run out and

433
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: catch passes. But their twelve personnel is not your dad's

434
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: twelve personnel, I guess, is what I'm saying. When likely

435
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: he's on the field, but there, their personnel is a

436
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: little bit tough to get a handle. And I don't know,

437
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 1: you do you do you treat Patrick Ricard as a fullback,

438
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: tight end or running back. To me, he's a fullback.

439
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: Now he can move, but you can move and he

440
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: caught up. Yeah, and he can line you know, he's

441
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: big enough to line up anywhere they want him to.

442
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: And to me, he's a fullback. Yeah. Do you feel differently, No,

443
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I just versatile, but probably run anybody. It's

444
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: not so much about how you label him as about

445
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: worry lines up and who you're gonna put on him.

446
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: If they true, if they line him up as a wingback,

447
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: you treat him as a wingback, and then he's then

448
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: he slides back into the eye formation or the the offset. Iye.

449
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: And he's a running back in short yardage. So you

450
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: got Lamar, Ricard and Dobbins, all three of whom could

451
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: carry the ball, and all they needs a half yard.

452
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: That's pretty that's hard to get ahead of. Yeah, you know,

453
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear you. It's they do that

454
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: on purpose. Greg Roman likes to put defenses in a bind.

455
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: And that's why I think to a great degree, Leslie

456
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: Fraser chooses to stay in Nickeol so you don't have

457
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: to get into all those games. He believes in Taron

458
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: Johnson as a run support corner, and for the most

459
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: part he's come through for him and I think that

460
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: affords them the ability to stay in Nickel as much

461
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: as they do. Yeah, the problem, see if it changes

462
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: this week Taron Johnson doesn't come up and take on

463
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: a well he's not taken on Ricard. He takes on

464
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: a d Linement. Well, he might have to if if

465
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: Greg Roman decides he wants that to be the matchup

466
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: and you're in nickel, he'll just move Ricard around and

467
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: find out where you're gonna be, where you guys are

468
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: gonna be, and match him up. There you go, and

469
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: you can't take him on low it's illegue. Got run

470
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: around run around him or run around him, don't take

471
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: him out or trying stand up to him and get

472
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, get wiped. So that's what I'm saying, run

473
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: around him. M Yeah, it's a it's a tough, tough matchup.

474
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: It's a tough matchup. Let's go back to the phones

475
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: and to Jack and Ken Moore. What do you got

476
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: for his jack Okay, I want to ask mister tester

477
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: because he played the game with a guy like this

478
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson. Okay, that you spy him with, like

479
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: somebody the whole game, all right, You put one man

480
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: on him the whole game, okay, and you forced them

481
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: to do something else that they're not comfortable with. And

482
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: that's how you'll stop him. I'm sure Steve knows that,

483
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: and the Bills will have the answer. Let's hope our

484
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator has the plan to stop him, because if

485
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: you stop him from running, you cut his head off, okay,

486
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: because he likes to run with the ball, okay, And

487
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: that's what I'm asking Steve. Well, yeah, Jack, you're right.

488
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean that would work once in a while, but

489
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: you know who you're gonna spy him with, and and

490
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: what do you think that hasn't been tried, like every

491
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: single game of his career. And I don't think a

492
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: spy works on Lamar because he outruns angles. He's got

493
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: four or three speed. And now you're taking somebody out

494
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: of your coverage to spy him. Yeah, it's it's they'll

495
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: do it, no question. They're gonna spy him once in

496
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: a while, particularly and down and distances they want to.

497
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: But you know, to have somebody, you think he's just

498
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: gonna be able to stop Lamar by himself by just lying,

499
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: just having him as a responsibility. I think that that's

500
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of a pipe dream. And and every

501
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: single team he's played his entire career has done that

502
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: at times. And the guys are unanimous MVP already, and

503
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: he's and he's in the running, if not the lead

504
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: dog in the MVP conversation this year. Yeah, I get it.

505
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: But you can say it and make it sound simple.

506
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: It is not easy to do. And the other reason

507
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: why a spy is probably not smart against him now,

508
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: maybe more than ever, is because he has advanced his

509
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: game as a passer. He is not just a running

510
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: quarterback who can throw every once in a while. So

511
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: now he's throwing thirty times a game. He leads the

512
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: league in touchdown passes, he leads the league in passer

513
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: rating through three weeks. And that's a problem, and it's

514
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: a problem that's big enough where you say, I can't

515
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: afford to put a spy on him in case he runs,

516
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: because he's so deadly as a passer. Right now, I'd

517
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: rather have that guy back in coverage, running with somebody

518
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: or covering an area of the field so we can

519
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: get some hands in the passing it's a numbers game

520
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: because if you if you put a spy on Lamar

521
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: and you rush four, or say you rush three, and

522
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: you have one guy spying on him who's not rushing,

523
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: just kind of watching. So you got a three man

524
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: rush all day against an NFL offense with a guy

525
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: who's throwing it really well, can't do it. You'll never

526
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: get any pressure, never get any sacks, and you know

527
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: you got guys running free and just hell, and he'll

528
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: extend the play like nobody else. So that's a problem.

529
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: If you rush four with the guy spying him, now

530
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: you only got six guys. You can't really play zone

531
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: behind that. So I get it, Jack, You're right. They'll

532
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: try it, and they'll do it once in a while

533
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: to try and cross him up. But he's a tough

534
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: not a tough guy to tackle, a tough guy to

535
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: get to. Not an answer to turn too consistently, though,

536
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. This week's game sponsor

537
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: is on location, on location unparalleled access to exclusive Bills

Speaker 1: ultimate fantasy lineup presented by FANDU will make every moment more.

544
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: It is the one the only field Yates with his

545
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: Week four addition, Hey doing Field, gentlemen, I'm doing well.

546
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: It's great to be on with you. On the penultimate

547
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: day of September. Still feels like fall weather. We don't

548
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: have to wear, you know, overcoats yet outside, so I

549
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: can't complain. It's great to be on. That's great. Your

550
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: lineup this week has a little bit of an interesting

551
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: Baltimore Buffalo flavor, so let's jump right into that and

552
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: get your reasoning for your QB. This I want, Yeah,

553
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: I want, and I won as much of this game

554
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: as I can find. Let's start a quarterback. It's Lamar

555
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: Jackson price at eighty eight hundred dollars on fan Duel,

556
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: and he and Josh Allen the two best quarterbacks in

557
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: fantasy right now. And I know that the Bill's defense

558
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: is very, very very good, and even though they played

559
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: just thirty nine slaps snaps last weekend, I thought build

560
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: in pretty well with all the absences they had, and

561
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of the guys are back this week,

562
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: but as you know, secondary depth has been tested dramatically

563
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Defensive tackled depth with tested this past week

564
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo as well. I think Lamar, with the way

565
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: that he has been playing recently, is just too good

566
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: to ignore. So I have him in my lineup, and frankly,

567
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: he's probably going to end up being worth the price

568
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: every single Sunday going forward. Right, He's one if you

569
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: can get him, get him right, And what's the Is

570
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: there a ceiling on his price that you would go?

571
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't think so, you know, Steve, I think that

572
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: with the way that the season is going right now,

573
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: it's been so goofy, there have been very few running

574
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: backs that have performed week over week. The idea that

575
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: you can get a quarterback you can feel so good

576
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: about with Lamar or Josh or one of these elite

577
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: players at that position, I think over or compensates for

578
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: the fact that. And we'll talk about running backs in

579
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: a moment, but as of this conversation, running backs that

580
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: are currently hurt and not certain to play this week

581
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: include Christian mccafrey, Jonathan Taylor, Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, David Montgomery,

582
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swith. I mean, you just keep going and going

583
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: and going. All these running backs that you think are

584
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: useful may not be available on Sunday, right, So let's

585
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: just head into the running backs. Who do you think

586
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: you know? Who are your best two running back options

587
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: given the climate you're talking about. Yeah, so let's get

588
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: to a couple of running backs. Clay the Herbert for

589
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: the Bears. I expect he starts over David Montgomery, who

590
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't believe we'll play, although we'll have better information

591
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: probably later this afternoon and certainly by the end of

592
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: the day on Friday. And if we find out that

593
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: David Montgomery is gonna play, consider this explanation of mood.

594
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: But prior to David Montgomery's injury and all of last season,

595
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: he ranked third in the percentage of team running back touches. Basically,

596
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: they want their running back, whoever the starter is in Chicago,

597
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: to be the man, and Cliar Herbert was the man

598
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: this past Sunday. He had one hundred and fifty plus

599
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: rushing yards a pair of touchdowns. The Giants are not

600
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: exactly a stalwarts defensive line right now in terms of

601
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: depending the run, especially without Leonard Williams. As we saw

602
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: this past Monday night, the Cowboys combined for twenty eight carries,

603
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: seventy eight yards a touchdown, and then Miles Sanders priced

604
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: at just sixty six hundred dollars. Here's the good news

605
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: for Sanders. He's got fifteen plus touches in every game

606
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: so far this season, and his Eagles offense is humming

607
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: right now. Their number two on a yards per play basis.

608
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: Wouldn't surprise me if they're effective again this Sunday against

609
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, even if Jacksonville was playing much better football. Wow. Yeah, receiver,

610
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: this is pretty interesting again, a little a little Buffalo

611
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: Baltimore flavor. Yeah, it looked like Gabe was struggling with

612
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: the weather as as many Bills players were last week

613
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: down in Miami, and he was, you know, just removed

614
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: from that ankle injury. But you're going with Gabe here, Yeah,

615
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: and we'll keep an eye on the injury. Again. This

616
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: was set before we found out that he was not

617
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: a full participant in practice today because that ankle injury.

618
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: But Brownie, despite that ankle injury. He's playing every snap.

619
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: Last week, basically, I want to say he played the

620
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: highest number of snaps from a wide receiver, and like

621
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: years this past Sunday in games that did not go

622
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: to overtown, he was basically on the field for every

623
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: single snapped And a very hot, muggy, humid day down

624
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: there in Miami does not project to be nearly as

625
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: hot and humid this Sunday against in Baltimore against the Ravens.

626
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: So I like Gabe. The target chair has been lower

627
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: than I expected. But as we saw in Week one,

628
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: or he's such a big physical presence that if he

629
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: gets five targets he could very well find the end zone.

630
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: And then of course you're going with a matchup as well.

631
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: Washington seems to be a fantasy target this year, not

632
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: so much for guys to play, but teams to match

633
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: up against. That's right, Ceede Lamb. We're getting a bit

634
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: of a Monday night football discount, a reminder that Vanduel

635
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: sets their pricing before the game on Monday. And Ceedee

636
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: Lamb would another game with eleven targets back to back

637
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: to back games of that, and I know that Seedy

638
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: Lamb had a big drop on Monday Night. It would

639
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown, but how good was he otherwise?

640
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean it spectacular catch late in the game helped

641
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys improved to two and one. Good matchup against

642
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: Washington has been in the bottom five in terms of

643
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: points allowed to opposing wide receivers and fantasy football. So

644
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: give me Cedee Lamb and they'll just round out the

645
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver group right here. Elijah More for the Jets

646
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: place priced at fifty five hundred dollars, and you know

647
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna most likely have Zach Wilson back. If you

648
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: look at how the Jets have been different with Joe

649
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: Blacko versus Zach Wilson over the past year or so,

650
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco has targeted a ton more of the running

651
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: backs and not as much of Elijah Moore. It seemed

652
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: like more and Zach Wilson had a more natural chemistry

653
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: play against the Steelers. Steelers defense is good, but I

654
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: think if you're going to attack them, you're gonna want

655
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: to do so in the slot. Yeah, I mean, I

656
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: know the Jets don't have a left There were the

657
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: other fifth left tackle at this point, but no T J.

658
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: Watt helps a little bit because t J. Watt's not

659
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: playing either, so that's beneficial hopefully for Zach Harrison's sake. Yeah,

660
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: tight end, we're right back to the Buffalo Baltimore game.

661
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: Yeah we are. How goods Mark Andrews, I mean, you guys,

662
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure we've been talking about them. We'll continue to talk,

663
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: so yeah, through tomorrow. He's tremendous player, great in the

664
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: red zone, good route runner, impeckable and peckable catch radius

665
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: and hands. Priced at eighty four hundred dollars, I mean,

666
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: there's there's a case he's the most valuable pass catcher

667
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: in fantasy football not named Cooper Cup right now. The

668
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: difference you get because he's the tight end. How many

669
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: other tight ends are just not nearly as productive week

670
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: in week out, good after the catch. The Ravens offense

671
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: is humming right now. It's gonna be a great test

672
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: for the Bills defense. Try to slow down Mark Andrews,

673
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: who I think is a worthwhile investment at eighty four

674
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. And the flex You've got Damian Pierce for

675
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: the tech ends. He's a little nicked up, all right,

676
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: little nicked up with the hip injury. It sounds like

677
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: he'll be able to give it a go on Sunday,

678
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: gets a Chargers defense and all of a sudden, it's

679
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: not gonna have enjoy those. We'll see what they have

680
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: JC Jackson, I mean the Chargers. It just feels like

681
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: every year it's injury after injury after injury, and here

682
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: we are more injuries. No Rashawn Slater, Justin Herbert's banged

683
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: up this game. I don't think it's going to be

684
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: one where the Chargers are up thirty five to ten.

685
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: You can't run the football if you're Houston. And we've

686
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: seen more and more of Damian Pierce, less and less

687
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: of Rex Burke at over the first weeks of the

688
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: NFL season. So wouldn't surprise me if Pierce again as

689
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: twenty or twenty five opportunities, more so as a runner

690
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: than a receiver. But if you get you twenty carries

691
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: and finds the end zone, you're in business. Sixty eight

692
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: hundred dollars the price point there for Damian Pierce. You're

693
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: going with a bargain here with Arizona as your defense.

694
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: So my question field is the defense usually an afterthought

695
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: when you're budgeting your money or are there weeks where

696
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: you'll spend a little bit more on a defense. I'm

697
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: just curious there. Yeah, I think it's pretty rare that

698
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm spending up on the defense. I would say that

699
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: what you love to do is when you can spread

700
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: the needle of not pay that much but also get

701
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: a valuable defense. That's a good case right here, because

702
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: Arizona's defense, Okay, I don't think there's anything special, but

703
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: the offense are playing against Carolina is not good right

704
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: They're inefficient right now, there are a low volume offense

705
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: in terms of plays and points, and as of this conversation,

706
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: we'll see if things change. So very very very big

707
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: question marks surrounding Christian McCaffrey's availability for Sunday against Arizona.

708
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: So if you have no Christian McCaffrey and the passing

709
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: game currently operating like it is, watch out now. It

710
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: could be a big day for that Arizona Cardinals defense.

711
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: That game is being played in Carolina. That really matters

712
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: to me. But I guess the Cardinals having to travel

713
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: across the country not necessarily ideal, but not too concerned

714
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: about it. And for daily fantasy, you're rarely winning your

715
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: your tournament or your cash game because of your defense.

716
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: So the Cardinals decent enough to be worth that thirty

717
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: three price tag field I've got. I've got a good

718
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: problem to have with my team. I'll figure I'll bounce

719
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: it off you and I'll send the check in the mail. Um, sweet,

720
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: I have a three headed monster at running back this

721
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: week with Herbert, Kimara, and Pollard. I can only I

722
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: can only dress two. Um. Yeah, that's a tough one

723
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: for me. I'm a tough one. A good problem, but

724
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: a problem. Nonetheless, Yeah, you know so, I think we'll

725
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: be playing Khalil Herbert, believe it or out of those

726
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: three for sure, assuming David Montgomery sits, and then I

727
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: think if Andy Dalton starts to quarter back for the Saints,

728
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: I'd play Album Kamara, who's been so disappointing so far,

729
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: but the opportunities have been really good, twenty plus opportunities

730
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: per game, which you gotta figure at some point he's

731
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: due to break one off. Right. He is still Album Kamara,

732
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: but we need much more out of the passing game

733
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: for Album Kamara, and that's where he is. As good

734
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: as it gets, maybe other than Christian McCaffrey, amongst the

735
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: NFL running backs. I don't know why, but ever since

736
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: Drew Brees got hurt and subsequently retired, the team has

737
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: shied away from using him as much in the passing game.

738
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: If we can get five or six targets for Alvin Kamara,

739
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,959
Speaker 1: they'll pay off. Yeah. I appreciate the assist. I'm owing

740
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: three out of the gate here, Field, I'm struggling. I

741
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: need all the help I can get around. Turn guides

742
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: around the long season. All right, that's the ultimate That's

743
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: the ultimate fantasy lineup provided by ESPN Fantasy Football guru

744
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: Field Yates, presented by fan Duel make every moment more. Hey,

745
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: if I get a chance to get a little help,

746
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look for it. Here. I'm in trouble, Steve,

747
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: I'm in a hole. Well, yeah, you and me both

748
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: really did you lose last week? I got crushed. Yeah,

749
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: I got crushed by Marty. Marty killed me. Yeah, I

750
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: just yeah. He's got a loaded lineup, though. Did he

751
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: have the first pick in the draft in our league.

752
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: He's the one who did it to me two week two? Yea,

753
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: his team's like and he's got Josh on his team.

754
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: I mean he only had two touchdown passes, but Josh

755
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: threw for four hundred yards last week. He buried me,

756
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: absolutely buried me. I know, unbelievable. All right, No, we

757
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: gotta take a break. When we come back, we'll get

758
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,600

Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collot of Health.

761
00:42:46,280 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. The off season is difficult for

762
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: any fan, but snap Dragon Apple season kicks off in

763
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: October and it's worth the weight. Snap Dragon Apples the

764
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: official apple of the Buffalo Bills Football Tonight, Steve M.

765
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: White Bengals and Dolphins. Things are gonna have white helmets

766
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: with black stripes. Yeah, they're gonna be like the Siegfried

767
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: and Roy version, the Backel Tiger. Well, where you go?

768
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be great if they were still around? What?

769
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: What are have them come out before the game? Pray tell?

770
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the Miami Dolphins going into

771
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati and winning that game? Um? You mean, what

772
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: do I think if they win? No? Or do I

773
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: think they do? You think they're going to? Um? Their

774
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: defense is very good but that trio of receivers might

775
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: be too much, especially knowing Byron Jones still isn't back

776
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: from the pup list. Nick need Him is gonna He's

777
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: gonna get spun around like a top tonight. I think

778
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: and Bengals buy a bunch No, somewhere between seven and ten.

779
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: I think they win by like a touchdown because the

780
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: Bengals still find a way to let teams stay in game.

781
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: Bengals defense is really good. It is very good, very good.

782
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: I think two of could have some problems tonight, especially

783
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: in a road atmosphere. Well, I mean, let's not forget

784
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: two of their first three games have been at home. Yeah,

785
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: I think I think Miami gets lumped up. Yeah, I

786
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: mean two is probably not one hundred percent either with

787
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 1: his lower back injury as questionable back what else lower back? Oh,

788
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, there was something, yeah, ankle or something. Yeah,

789
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: I think I think I just yeah, I just don't think.

790
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: I think the Chickens come home to roost on the

791
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins tonight. Yeah. They've gotten Nah, they've been fortunate. They've

792
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: also been very aff They're that they're one of those

793
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: teams that expects the other team to come back to them.

794
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: You know, they think, you know, like the Ravens or

795
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 1: the Bills, they expect those teams to make enough mistakes

796
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: that they're going to stay closer. If they don't make mistakes,

797
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 1: which they don't, I'll say that, Yeah, which they don't,

798
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to nip it at the end.

799
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: And that's that's what they did against the Bills. That's

800
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: obviously what they did against Baltimore when Baltimore blew a

801
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: couple of coverages and they turned it into fourteen points

802
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: in the win. So yeah, I just think that's a

803
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: tough way to count on winning. It is. They've been fortunate.

804
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question. You gotta have a

805
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: little bit of luck to pull out a game like

806
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: you did last week. So there's that, and their offense

807
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: really wasn't a whole lot to write home about in

808
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: Week one when they won twenty seven over New England.

809
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: Now can say what you want. The facts are the facts.

810
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: They're three and oh do they go four and oh tonight?

811
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure, right, I think Cincinnati is going

812
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: to be up for that one, So I would lean

813
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: towards Cincinnati in the game. Won't me too, but we'll

814
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: see time, we'll see. So I think it'll be a

815
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 1: good game at the outset, but short week for both teams,

816
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 1: the quality of play might suffer a little bit, right,

817
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: But we'll find out soon enough. That is another one

818
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: of those Amazon Prime games Thursday night, so have your

819
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: viewing habits shift accordingly. It was pretty funny in week one,

820
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: all the people on social media predicting their parents calling

821
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: them saying, where's the game? I can't find it? So

822
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: true though, how do I what you get? No? What's

823
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: not on TV? Where is this thing? How I'm on Amazon?

824
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: How do I order it? How do I gotta tell you?

825
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: The first week, Amazon made it as easy as possible.

826
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: You pull up Amazon Prime and boom, it's right there

827
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: football Pick it like right now, don't go anywhere, just

828
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 1: highlight it, pick it off your go that they pulled

829
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: like two or three, two and a half or three

830
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: times the numbers that they did when they had the

831
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: one before, the one game before, and you think they

832
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: paid all this money for these rights, and then you realize,

833
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: like at that game alone, they got more subscribers than

834
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: they've gotten over the last two years combined, or something

835
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: like that. You know, news more new subscribers they got. Yeah,

836
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: that's what they're looking for. They want people to to

837
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: get to the to it, find it, use it, and

838
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: get used to using it so they're comfortable there and

839
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: they start you, you know, watching um Man oh Man,

840
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: what a vehicle Thursday night football is. Oh my gosh.

841
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: Now that the media viewing portion of practice is over,

842
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: we can pass this along to you. Ryan Bates was

843
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: out there participating in practice in a red non contact jersey,

844
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: but he had a helmet and pads on and he

845
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: was doing football related activities. In this five step return

846
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: to play protocol of concussion protocol, doing football specific activities,

847
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: which he was doing today, albeit in a limited fashion,

848
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: puts him in step four of the five step return

849
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: to play protocol. All that would be left after that

850
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: is full medical clearance for full football activity. So the

851
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: fact that he's in step four here on a Thursday

852
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: is pretty encouraging and at least opens up the possibility

853
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: that he could be out of concussion protocol by the

854
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 1: end of the week. That's right, and it does guarantee

855
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: the next The next step has to do with also

856
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: what he feels like tomorrow. Well, raptor today and then

857
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: baseline tests, base and then all that needs he have

858
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: a headache because he does he have any setbacks or

859
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: does he just not feel great, But that means Steve

860
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: that he's already gotten through the following He's gotten through

861
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 1: light aerobic activity. They test him the next day, no changes, Good,

862
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: You go to the next step, step three, more aerobic exercise,

863
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: more strength training at a higher rate. You know, they

864
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: get your heart rate up right, Yeah, test you again

865
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: and if you pass that, you go on to football

866
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: specific activities, which is where he was today. So he

867
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: does some of that. We're presuming in practice once the

868
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: Thursday injury report comes out, probably limited, right, He's not

869
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: going to be a full participant. And if he comes

870
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: through that, okay, maybe he gets to practice fully on Friday.

871
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves,

872
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: but I guess the safe thing to say here is

873
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,919
Speaker 1: this is encouraging that he's already in step four, right,

874
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: and it's encouraging if even if he doesn't make it

875
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 1: back this week, is encouraging for him coming back sometime

876
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: in the near future. I mean, it's not going to

877
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: be five or six week kind of thing. Maybe, I guess.

878
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. If we've seen guys do that. Mitch

879
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: Morse had a struggled to come back from it two

880
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: years ago. He did, he did, So there is you know,

881
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: you gotta it comes down to the players being really

882
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: honest with the evaluators because of And it's like with

883
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: Tua and his back injury last week. If if the

884
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: guy's going to come to you and say, no, I

885
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: feel great, it wasn't my back, it wasn't my head,

886
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: it was my back. Yeah, you're what are the doctor's

887
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: going to do? So? Yeah, how honest can the guy be?

888
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: But you know you're right step forward close. I mean,

889
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 1: he's got a chance this week, he's got a chance.

890
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: We at least a chance to be available. Right. We

910
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: rain on Sunday from the storm. I'm having a hard

911
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: time feeling good about it. Yeah, we were struggling a

912
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: little bit. You want to cheer us up. I mean,

913
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm kind of having a hard time, you know, about

914
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: this game too. I mean they're talking about rain, chance

915
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: of rain. We have not shown any glimpse really of

916
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: a somewhat running game. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, and so yeah,

917
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried. And then on the other side,

918
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, you guys are probably already talked about it.

919
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: With Lamar Jackson being in his mold to get a

920
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 1: new contract. You know, I'm sure they're you know, they're

921
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: probably thinking, you know what, where Miami is now, that's

922
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 1: where we should be. Because we blew that lead to

923
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: Miami a couple of weeks ago. They should be the one,

924
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: three and old everybody talking about right now. And so yeah,

925
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: and now the team that everybody had picked got a

926
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: loss now and they dropped from the top rankings and

927
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: they're like number two and some yesterday's newspaper right exactly. So, uh,

928
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm Baltimore, I'm feeling pretty good. Um with

929
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson running the show. Um, hey, they're motivated. But

930
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: you know what, even with that, even with that, I

931
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: still think that this team is motivated too. I just

932
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: believe that. Hey, look, I thought we should have won

933
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: the game, but at least fourteen points were On Monday,

934
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: we were calling it the game of lost points. Absolutely

935
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: like the field goal attempts, they never even they turned

936
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: it over in their own end and gave him a touchdown.

937
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: They missed the field goal, they Milano missed the interception,

938
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: didn't get to pick six Josh David Josh one hopped it,

939
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: gave Davis drops one in the end zone, or it

940
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: gets knocked out of his hands, and then you had

941
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: two field goal attempts at the end of both halves

942
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: that you didn't get two attempts. Yeah, I mean, look,

943
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm still feeling pretty good if I'm in that locker

944
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: room right now. I know we're going against Lamar Jackson

945
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: and Baltimore Ravens on the road. It might be, but

946
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm still I still know that I'm one of the

947
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: top teams in the national football if still not the

948
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: top team. And the way to prove that it's a

949
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: go out and win Sunday. Man, You'll make everybody forget

950
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: about Miami, because Miami got problem now because this game

951
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: tonight that they're gonna be playing in Cincinnati. So I mean,

952
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: let's just pump the brakes a little bit right here

953
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: with Miami because this team out on this football field

954
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: that's practicing today, the Buffalo bill is still a really

955
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: good football team, and I expect them no matter what

956
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: the weather may be, I still expect them to come

957
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: out and play well. Yeah, playing well may not be

958
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: enough against this crew Baltimore is, and we're talking about

959
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: both these teams come in two and one. They both

960
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: lost the same team, and the team they lost to

961
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: got no more respect in either city after the win

962
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: than they have at the beginning. You know, Baltimore Blue

963
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: two coverages gave him fourteen points. The Bills just I

964
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: mean there was like time and time again melted because

965
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: of the heat and humidity. Plus they were completely ravaged

966
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 1: by a rash of minor injuries that kept guys out

967
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: of line. I mean, it's like one thing after another. Now,

968
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: this team also has struggled to play well in bad

969
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: weather because they're not a run first team. They're a

970
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: pass first team. How do you flip that switch? And

971
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, because I know this too, you talked to

972
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: all the offensive line and they say, if you want

973
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: to run it, well, just keep running it. We get

974
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 1: better quick because they need live reps against it. You know,

975
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: if they didn't start that practice on what Wednesday, getting

976
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: the pass and getting some sound coming out right there,

977
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: then that's what they I think that's what they should

978
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: have done. I mean, because they're gonna need it. They're

979
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 1: gonna need it with this football team. And it all

980
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: starts with the offensive linement. Hey look, they've been great

981
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,959
Speaker 1: all year. You know, obviously struggle mate this past game

982
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: with Spencer Brown and other injuries, but this is this

983
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: is a really good offensive line, really good offensive line,

984
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: and uh hey, it's it's time for those guys. You

985
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: know what, Let me tighten this chinch trap. Yeah, that's

986
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: a little bit tighter right here on both sides and

987
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: smack them in. That's all you have. That's all you

988
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: have because you're putting too much pressure I think, in

989
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: my opinion, on Josh Allen to do everything. Yeah, that's

990
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: just Look, if they continue to have Josh do everything

991
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: for the next five and six years, his arm is

992
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: gonna fall off like Peyton Manner. Really seriously, they need

993
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: a running game, and hey look I want them to

994
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,399
Speaker 1: running ball. I mean to see more of James Cook

995
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: out in the slot, out playing wide receiver catching the ball.

996
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: Where was that He made some nice decisions at the

997
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: end of that game, wore catches for thirty seven yards,

998
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: anticipated where the defender was closing on him, and made

999
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: a move as soon as he caught the ball. There's

1000
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: some natural instincts there is that is very appealing. Yeah,

1001
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: and just on one of the plays that um that

1002
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: that Zach Mass had the long run off. I thought

1003
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: it was twenty eight. I thought he was taking it

1004
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: all the way. What did I tell you on Monday?

1005
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: I was. I was like, if it's twenty eight to six,

1006
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: that's what I told him. It's I love Mass, I

1007
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: love him picking up the blitz or whatever, but it's

1008
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: that that's a touchdown. That's a touchdown. So, um, hey, look,

1009
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: I want these running backs to do well. I think

1010
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: we got three good running backs, right, So let's so

1011
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about that a little bit. Because Steve and

1012
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: I have kind of knocked this around through the course

1013
00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: of the week. We I feel that coach McDermott wants

1014
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: the running game to get to a level where if

1015
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: it's something they need to turn to, they can rely

1016
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: upon it no matter who they're playing in a given week.

1017
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: So if the passing game isn't exactly in sync, or

1018
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: you have a hurricane and you need to run the ball,

1019
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: you are not inept at it. Now Aaron Cromer's new

1020
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: he's putting in the new schemes with Ken Dorsey, it

1021
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: obviously is not where they want it to be. Right now,

1022
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: what do you think is a realistic period of time

1023
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: when a new line coach comes in to get that

1024
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: thing humming up front the way it should be so

1025
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: the running game is as productive as it needs to be. Well,

1026
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, I think this goes all the way back

1027
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: to training count. Do you do it enough? And I

1028
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: don't think they do it enough starting back in training count. Right,

1029
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: you know you have a new office life coach repping

1030
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: huh repping repping. Yeah, you gotta do it. You just

1031
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: have to do it. I mean you have to take

1032
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: some time out in your schedule to be like, this

1033
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: is what we gotta do, guys, this is what we

1034
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: have to do. And uh sure it may take I

1035
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: mean I don't want it to take week six us

1036
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 1: to realize that it needs to start right now. And

1037
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: obviously it need to start with the offensive line. You

1038
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: know what, Hey, go up to coach mcder I'm gonna say, man,

1039
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: we need to run the ball Ken Dorsey. I mean,

1040
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: just kind of make it a point to the coaches.

1041
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 1: I mean I made it a point to Tom Bresler. Hand. Well,

1042
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like this play. I like the counter.

1043
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: Come on, this is what we can do, yea what

1044
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: do we do best? Let me float this out and

1045
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: see what you guys think about this. We saw the

1046
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: running game kind of come into its own last year,

1047
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: and like last six weeks, five six weeks this season, Um,

1048
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: there is a little bit of this. I think in

1049
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: my thought that yeah, they can't. You don't get enough

1050
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: good reps in the run game because you can't hit

1051
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: during practice these days, and because of the one day

1052
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: hands a week, right and you're spending it healing up. Really,

1053
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: my thought would be, as they say, listen, we're gonna Josh,

1054
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna carry it. He's gonna He's gonna carry us

1055
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: through this first part. As the season rolls on though,

1056
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: and when we get into games, maybe if we are up,

1057
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: we can start to rep the run game as much

1058
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: as we want in the game, so that later we

1059
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: can start to get used to run in the football

1060
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: in times where we don't, we can run it whenever

1061
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: we want because the score is out of whack. And

1062
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: then later in the season, after we've done that, that's

1063
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: you use the season to get your run game greased,

1064
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: because you can, you know what I mean, use the

1065
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: season to develop your run game, which is why it

1066
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: took so long last year, like a twelve or thirteen

1067
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: weeks into the season before, they haven't really started running it. Well,

1068
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: what do you think about that philosophy of maybe he's saying, listen,

1069
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: we can't practice it during the regular seas, we can't

1070
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: practice in the preseason because we can't hit. Let's just

1071
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: try and keep afloat with our running game. And then

1072
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: then too, you're kind of a victim to the match cheps. Yeah,

1073
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, like this game, you ain't have any choice.

1074
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to run it. You're gonna get some

1075
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: reps on it, right, You're gonna have to run it.

1076
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: And and obviously Josh's gonna have to run it too.

1077
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: I think too, he's gonna he's gonna be a big

1078
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: part of that. But uh um, yeah, it's hard to

1079
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: figure out, you know, like you said from training camp,

1080
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: how things have gone. I mean, is there really a

1081
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: nice running team in the National Football League. I think

1082
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: there's a couple of teams out there that you know

1083
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: that run it very very well. I mean, I think

1084
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Detroit's up there now somewhere up at the top, right.

1085
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: The Bears actually run it well. They can't throw it

1086
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: worth but they run it well. But I think you

1087
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: know it was. But if you look at the Bears,

1088
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: the Browns, and the Lions, I think their offensive line

1089
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: is totally different from our offensive line. Okay, if you

1090
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks, Okay, look at the quarterback. Yeah,

1091
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: you got pre set right now in Cleveland. Right, you

1092
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: got Detroit. So where where's your bread and butter gonna be?

1093
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: That's how your offensive line is built. Here is Josh Allen,

1094
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: So we need guys that can pass. Brock all right,

1095
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: what do you think about I know you said you

1096
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: like all three guys that they have in the backfield.

1097
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: Do you want to see more of Cook going forward?

1098
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Or do you just want to kind of keep seeing

1099
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: the committee shuffle going on. I mean, Devin had a

1100
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: nice game last week, very active in the passing game

1101
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: as a safety, Valve did a nice job. But the

1102
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: game breaking ability a Cook is kind of hard to ignore.

1103
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: What you know what? It all goes back to Brownie

1104
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: is you know what? As a running back, you want

1105
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: to get into rhythm, and it's hard to get into

1106
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: rhythm when you got three guys that kind of do

1107
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: different things. Zack is there for pretty much. I mean

1108
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: he showed good speed on a long run, but he's

1109
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: in there to pick up blitzers. I mean, Singletary had

1110
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: his best career of reception wise and rdist wise last

1111
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: week and this could. So all of them do different things,

1112
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: and it's hard to get into a rhythm. It's hard

1113
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: to try to get into a flow because if you

1114
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: bring Cooks in, you can do some more outside stuff,

1115
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: but you can do inside stuff too, and yeah, so

1116
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: you can mix it up a little bit more with him.

1117
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: Like so it's gonna be hard for these guys who

1118
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: like get into a rhythm and you know, and see

1119
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: what they can do. I mean that obviously, when you

1120
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,919
Speaker 1: have three different guys, kind of the offensive line is like, okay,

1121
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: who we got now, because there is a little bit

1122
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,479
Speaker 1: of a familiarity with who's running back running back. Here's

1123
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the problem. The teams that running the best. It goes

1124
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: like this one through five is this It's Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit,

1125
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: the Giants, and Atlanta. None of those None of those teams.

1126
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: None of those teams scare anybody, and they're running the

1127
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 1: most of anybody from because they have so you know,

1128
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: I get what we're saying about this game because it

1129
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: might be a monsoon, it may have any choice. You

1130
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: can't throw it at all. I get that, but it's

1131
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: a throwing league. The problem is this everybody and everybody

1132
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: wants it. Everybody wants whatever. We want to run it.

1133
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 1: We want to get seven yards a run, and that way,

1134
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, they have to like come in and bear

1135
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: up to the top when we're in second and three

1136
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: at worst, or first and ten. But that's it's kind

1137
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: of unrealistic in today's NFL because stopping the run is

1138
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,919
Speaker 1: about gaps, and these guys are so disciplined and they're

1139
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: so well coached to every team run defense is better

1140
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: now than it's ever been, not just because of the

1141
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: fact that teams throw it a lot, but also because

1142
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: of the discipline these guys have in the You know,

1143
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: you just get smart guys up there and they just

1144
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: they get in the gap and there's got the run

1145
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: pass option. Now, yeah, they got to be aware of

1146
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: that now. I mean, nobody did a run pass option

1147
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: when we were playing, that's right. It wasn't even even

1148
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: thought of, right, you know, and we especially wasn't doing

1149
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: it here with Jim So my bad, just sorry. I mean,

1150
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: last almost had a spit take over there. Yeah, but yeah,

1151
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: it's totally different. Uh. You know, these guys here, they

1152
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: know that most of the time throughout the National Football

1153
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Lady's going to be a pass. What do we think

1154
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: about the fact that the backs I think they caught

1155
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: fifteen passes last week against the Dolphins. What can that

1156
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: do for the Bills offense? But just by having that

1157
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: on tape for future opponents, what does that do? I

1158
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: think it does wonders. I think all three of those

1159
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: guys can do it. Uh, Cook had a draw. You know,

1160
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a screen yet. Have we seen a

1161
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: screen yet? I think I think they scrapped screens last

1162
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: week because they're so dang hot. They didn't want the

1163
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: lineman doing any extra running. I honestly think that was

1164
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: part of the reason why. I mean they were also

1165
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: on let's not forget by the end of the game,

1166
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: they were also on lineman seven, eight and nine on

1167
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: the roster, so they were trying to keep it simple. Yeah,

1168
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: they were trying seven, eight and nine and number nine

1169
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: had an acl right, I mean they were they were

1170
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the rope. Yes, Yeah, So I'm

1171
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of extenuating circumstances about that game last week,

1172
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: and and uh, there's still tight game. And what do

1173
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: you make about that? The Bills lose these tight games.

1174
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: They always lose by a single possession. They haven't won

1175
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: one score game since the stuff. Well, I mean, I

1176
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: think it's a made up stat. It's Bill's Patriots twenty

1177
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: twenty Week eight. They won twenty four twenty one on

1178
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: the Justin Zimmer punch out fumble at the end of

1179
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: the game on Cam Newton. That's their last one score

1180
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: game that they won. They've lost the last seven after that. Yeah,

1181
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: but they've won indication of your team. Yeah, I think

1182
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you can. I really struggle with. So

1183
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: you're saying it would have been even better if their

1184
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: last seven digits four of them would have been by

1185
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: ten or fourteen points, that's what you're saying. Yeah, this

1186
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: would be a non thing. I think that. I think

1187
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: the better stat would be how many of that all

1188
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: of their losses have been by single digits, and how

1189
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: many have been by double digits. Yeah, that's the better stat,

1190
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna go I think the only one

1191
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 1: by double digits in the last year plus is the

1192
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: Indie game the only loss by double dog loss. Sorry,

1193
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: that's right, that's it. That is it. Nobody's got more

1194
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, games like that than Buffalo. I mean a

1195
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: higher percentage than that in Buffalo. But the but the

1196
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: easy game, Yeah, the easy perception is people are like, oh,

1197
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: they can't win the close ones. I mean, they couldn't

1198
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: even do it against Jacksonville last year or nine to six,

1199
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. You know, that's that's the narrative

1200
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: that comes out, is everybody else's record. Well, then yeah,

1201
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: they don't take the time. They don't take the time,

1202
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, because we've probably been in that situation the

1203
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: most in the last one or two years too. I

1204
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: don't know, I think I'm with you. How many other

1205
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: losses have been by single possessions? And how many have

1206
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: been by by more than that, you know, by nine

1207
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: or more points. That's the way, you know, because that's

1208
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: it's an incomplete standard, and at least it's just exactly

1209
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: who's that ESPN stats and info there and find the answer. Yeah, yeah,

1210
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: And I think there's probably a reason why they didn't

1211
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: go a step further in those statistics. They probably started

1212
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: to and got oh well, actually, it's very good. One

1213
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: other thing, Thurman, the Bills have been very good on

1214
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: third down. They lead the league here through the first

1215
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: three weeks about sixty one percent conversion, thanks in large

1216
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: part to Week one when they were nine to ten. Right,

1217
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: but still in all it looks like Ken Dorsey's approach

1218
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:47,799
Speaker 1: through the first three weeks is to get to third

1219
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: and very very manageable. Brian Dable would take more shots

1220
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: down the field early in games. Sometimes he'd come upon

1221
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: a third night or a third and nine. It looks

1222
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: like the way doors he has been calling the games,

1223
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: at least through the first three weeks is take the

1224
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: short stuff to get a little bit here, a little

1225
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: bit there, so you have third in twos and third

1226
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: and threes. I think there's pluses to that, yeah, and

1227
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: I think there's minuses to that. But just what do

1228
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 1: you think of the approach overall? First year offensive coordinator. Okay,

1229
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: let's take let's go to safer out. Yeah, let's do

1230
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the checkdowns and do a lot of

1231
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: the things like that. And I think as the season

1232
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: goes along, I think you'll see more of Dawson Knox.

1233
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: I think you'll see more Gay Davis when he gets

1234
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: health here, you know, I think you'll see that more

1235
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: down the field. But right now, it's like, you know what,

1236
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm a first year offensive coordinator. I want second and four.

1237
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: I want second in three, and that's why you've seen

1238
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,719
Speaker 1: the check downs or whatever. But I think eventually, once

1239
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: he gets into the flow and hey, maybe some of

1240
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: those checks downs are not there washes you to throw

1241
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 1: the ball down deep. So I think it'll come. But

1242
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: I just think he's in a now, this is first

1243
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: year doing this, and uh, he has to try to

1244
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: find like a way for him to explore everything in

1245
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: an in an entire game, which I think he can.

1246
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 1: I think with some of the checkdowns and being in

1247
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: that situation where you're second and three or second and four,

1248
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, those are times to where you can take

1249
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: a shot down the field. I don't think we've seen

1250
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: that yet. So those could be coming, but it probably

1251
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: won't come to this game because it's gonna be raining.

1252
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 1: But still you might have to take a shot. Yeah,

1253
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: And some of that is just to get into their

1254
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: mind about your willingness to do it, and maybe you're

1255
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, they put it on the plate for them

1256
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 1: to think about. In all these other routes that you're doing.

1257
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: I there's a rhythm element to that too, though, right

1258
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: like if you're if you keep hitting that short stuff,

1259
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: you're staying on the field, you're moving sticks. I mean,

1260
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: I know, it's like, hey, we're gonna take these days.

1261
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: I got a forty three million dollars arm where come. Yeah,

1262
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 1: with a guy like Josh, I would say there are

1263
01:10:56,040 --> 01:11:00,040
Speaker 1: probably certain plays in the menu where and doors. You

1264
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: would probably remind him and say, listen when we call this,

1265
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: if you see this go, you know, he'll give him

1266
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: those They'll be on the play. See it, take it.

1267
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: If you see it, take it, or make the jestament

1268
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: and then take it. You know. And maybe some of

1269
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,719
Speaker 1: those things are coming a little bit less than often

1270
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: than they thought, because because teams are looking at Josh going,

1271
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,719
Speaker 1: we're keeping a leading, leading the lead and receiving yards

1272
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: and reception reception, they're they're moving the ball down. It's

1273
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 1: just like we just can't like you also sixty three times,

1274
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: I know that, but yeah, what about myself? It was

1275
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: just it was so let's think about this though, with

1276
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: respect to what has looked like, for lack of a

1277
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: better term, a lot of short passing dank dunk stuff.

1278
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 1: There's there's an opinion out there that by running more plays,

1279
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: you're giving more film to opposing defensive coordinators to study

1280
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: and dissect. Do you think that gives them more to

1281
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 1: work with to come up with answers? Or does that

1282
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: not matter because Josh Allen's when we ran in the nineties,

1283
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: It don't matter. Yeah, I mean no, I don't think

1284
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 1: that gives a defense and edge or how many players

1285
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: you run like there's more to chew on for a

1286
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: DC that's got to face you the next week. Does

1287
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: that make a difference. I don't think it makes it

1288
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: because you don't know when that's that play is going

1289
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 1: to come right. I mean, is it playing number eighty

1290
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: eight that they ran or is it playing number twenty

1291
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: three that they ran? I mean, if you want to

1292
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: sit down and dissect all of that stuff, you I

1293
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 1: think you're wasting your time. Yeah, yeah, you got Yeah.

1294
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 1: I think you're When you're a defensive coordinator, you're thinking

1295
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: people rather than what you are thinking concepts. No question,

1296
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: where they're down a distance, they're they like this, they

1297
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: like that, But matchup you're you're thinking, okay, if this

1298
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: guy's over here and this guy's over here. This is

1299
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: how we want to play. But if they're on the

1300
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 1: same side, you know, it's more of that because you know,

1301
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators are in there all the time thinking, you know,

1302
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,759
Speaker 1: we should try this, you know, and drawing different lines

1303
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: and using this concept and mixing this concept so it

1304
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: looks completely different to the defense anyway. So it's I

1305
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: can't get into the mind of devinsive coordinator looking at it,

1306
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: but they're they're thinking people, not plays. All right, do

1307
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: you have a feel for this one, thurmin before we

1308
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: let you go? I don't. Okay, all right, Okay, you

1309
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 1: don't have to. I mean, the weather obviously is the

1310
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: biggest fact, and we don't know yet how it's going

1311
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 1: to be. We don't know the grass field. How about

1312
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 1: this sunny sixty eight degrees? Now, tell I think both

1313
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: teams score over thirty? Do you really? Yeah? Oh wow,

1314
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. You must

1315
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: be coming some special teams touchdowns and there defensive yeah, yeah. Listen,

1316
01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: Baltimore is hanging points on people. Okay, they are, but

1317
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 1: they lead the league in scoring. Okay, but have they

1318
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 1: played a defense like ours? And I just hope defense

1319
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 1: is healthy. I know, even with the injuries. I'm telling you,

1320
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: so what the two rookies went through last week. Yeah,

1321
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: they're not gonna well. I mean, I just gotta keep

1322
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: bringing the rain. There's not gonna be that way this week.

1323
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna be focusing on all right, more than anything else.

1324
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 1: If the ball is the ball is with I'm I'm

1325

Speaker 1: be there a B Square. We want to talk more

1343
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: about the topic at hand today, which is which will

1344
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,560
Speaker 1: have a bigger impact on a Bill's win over the

1345
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Ravens Sunday. Is it a Bill's offense returns to form

1346
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: or b Bill's defense stops lamar in company. Can let

1347
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: us know at eighth three five fifty one, eighty eight,

1348
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: five fifty two, five fifty or you can hit us

1349
01:15:56,840 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: up on the tweet sheet and right now pretty balanced poles, Steve,

1350
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah, most people think it's about

1351
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 1: stopping lamar Um. I don't I think that. I don't know.

1352
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get into the minds of people who voted.

1353
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: It seems to me that most people would probably think

1354
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: the Bills offense is going to be okay anyway. So

1355
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: do you think they lean defense. I think they lean

1356
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: defense because they know how what a challenge it's going

1357
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 1: to be. And if you if you can stop Lamar

1358
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: and company. That's something that is I think cripples the

1359
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 1: Ravens ability to win games. I mean, if you stop

1360
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 1: the bill, you always feel like your defense can make

1361
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: some plays and that kind of thing. But yeah, this

1362
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 1: is not the Ravens two thousand defense, you know. No,

1363
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: this is they're still kind of finding themselves a little

1364
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: bit exactly. And I think that's I think that's where

1365
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: people are at if you stop their strength. But you know,

1366
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 1: I don't know that I think they can just kind

1367
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 1: of take the Bills and Josh in the offense a

1368
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: little bit for granted, let's find some more answers on

1369
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1370
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, where

1371
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Nick leads us off and in terms of what we'll

1372
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: have a bigger impact on the Bills went over the

1373
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: Ravens Sunday. Nick says the offense and Josh will do

1374
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: what they do, but the D needs to contain Lamar

1375
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 1: as much as that's possible. If the D can do

1376
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: that and not get beat over the top like the

1377
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: third and twenty two last week, we should be okay.

1378
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: Tall order. But let's hope the weather is not a factor.

1379
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 1: Amen to that, Nick, Amen to that. Yeah, well the weather,

1380
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: you might be a pipe dream getting out of the weather,

1381
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: but yeah, of course, yeah, you can't give up a

1382
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: third and twenty two. That's that's a crush. That was tough.

1383
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: That was tough, and the Dolphins made a play that

1384
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 1: they got the coverage they wanted to. You know, tyreeks

1385
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: on the other side, and too is looking right at him.

1386
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: Certainly Damar is going to go over there and check

1387
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: it out, and then you know he just can't make

1388
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: it back in time to help me. I had too

1389
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: much crown to cover. Jack on the tweet sheet says

1390
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:04,840
Speaker 1: the d needs to slow down, Lamar and andrews Our

1391
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 1: offense will be fine and I expect them to put

1392
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 1: some points up wind and rain will be a factor,

1393
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: but they can get it done. The d needs to

1394
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,600
Speaker 1: get Jackson off the field. I'll be there in the

1395
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: rain and I am looking for a nice Bill's rebound. Yeah.

1396
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: What about the motivation of dropping a game last week,

1397
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: Steve that they thought they should have had. Is that

1398
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: factor into this week's conversation? It factors into your mindset

1399
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: going into practice. I mean, you think Okay, come on,

1400
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 1: let's button up here a little bit. Let's get on it,

1401
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: you know. But every game is motivation in and of itself,

1402
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 1: particularly this early in the season, So yeah, a little bit.

1403
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: I think it carries over into the next few days.

1404
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: Of the disappointment and kind of the frustration gives you

1405
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of an edge in your mindset early

1406
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: in the week. But yeah, you never want to make

1407
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 1: one loss count for two. And by that I mean

1408
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,640
Speaker 1: mentally physically. They may not be getting around to you.

1409
01:18:57,680 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: Come in, you get you lose a game like that

1410
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: to Miami where you got literally double digit guys that

1411
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: you know are struggling even finish the game. Yeah, coming back,

1412
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,680
Speaker 1: even on a normal week, it's going to take some

1413
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: extra diligence and we'll see if they've got it in them.

1414
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Seth on the tweet sheet says, Josh can play and

1415
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: anything other than overwhelming heat, the offense will be all right.

1416
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: Short throws, keep the chains moving, hopefully see some more

1417
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: from Cook. It's all about limiting Lamar and their run game.

1418
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Make them try to keep up through the air. Careful, yeah, careful,

1419
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 1: ever what you ask for? They're pretty good. I'm telling

1420
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: you this is not the same offense we saw two

1421
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: years ago when they had those three headed monsters at

1422
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: tight end and they were just bludgeoning defensive backs and

1423
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: beaten linebackers in the past game. It's a little bit

1424
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 1: of a tweak from that. And they're going down field

1425
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: more now and they're outside weapons are good. They're hard

1426
01:19:55,120 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: to bottle up. DuVernay is a really fast dude. He

1427
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:07,639
Speaker 1: can go and on the other side and the same thing.

1428
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:15,799
Speaker 1: And Mark Andrews the tight end is every bit Travis

1429
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 1: Kelsey with Kansas City. He's a really good player, really

1430
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: good player. He's open when he's not open, and you're

1431
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to see him play. So, yeah,

1432
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 1: this is not a team where you think they can't

1433
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 1: beat you if they throw it all the time, because

1434
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: they can. Yeah, it's I'm telling you. He leads the

1435
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: league in yards per attempt. It's I mean, man, you

1436
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 1: got don't just assume he can't throw it deep because

1437
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: he can bateman from the pocket. Yeah, it's gonna be

1438
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: interesting because Tarren Johnson is kind of the question mark

1439
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: in this defensive set this week because of their lack

1440
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: of three wide receiver sets, So he may be on

1441
01:20:55,200 --> 01:21:00,080
Speaker 1: a running back or on a tight end himself. And

1442
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: I guess he's actually at the podium talking now we

1443
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: might be able to go to see get listen, let's

1444
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 1: go to Terren Johnson, see what he has to say

1445
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: about the matchup this week against the Ravens. Okay, well,

1446
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean the last time you played against the Ravens. Yeah,

1447
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 1: kind of some crazy stuff happening. Yeah, So as you

1448
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: look forward to this game, what do you guys got

1449
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: to do to contain obviously a very dynamic offense. I mean,

1450
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 1: first of all, we got to stop the run. I mean,

1451
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:26,680
Speaker 1: obviously that's a big thing, and quarterbacks obviously extremely talented,

1452
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: and we just I feel like we have a good

1453
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: game plan coming in this game. So as you have

1454
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,600
Speaker 1: these just revolve indoor people in the secondary, there have

1455
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: been so many injuries. Yeah, you know you're one of

1456
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: the constants. What do you have to do you have

1457
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: to change anything or do you just gotta keep doing

1458
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: the same thing. I mean, I'm gonna just prepare the

1459
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: best way I can throughout the week, you know what

1460
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying, And that'll lead me to playing Whale comes

1461
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: under ten. What makes Mark Andrews so dynamic? It seems

1462
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: like he's been Lamar's stamper target lately. I mean his athleticism,

1463
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 1: and I don't even feel like lately he's been a

1464
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: stay target, you know what I'm saying. So Athletically, he's

1465
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: just different than other tight ends, and obviously he has

1466
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: great hands and it's tough. It's tough for UH for

1467
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 1: people to cover them and stop him. What about Lamar

1468
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: who as a passer A lot of people have always

1469
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 1: a hot topics throughout his career. What have you seen

1470
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: maybe different in that aspect of see him this year

1471
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: on the film that maybe in the past. I mean,

1472
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: I think he's improved. He's uh getting the ball in

1473
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 1: tight windows and things like that. So I mean, we're

1474
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 1: just gonna have to make sure that we're good across

1475
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 1: the board, whether this run or the past, because he's

1476
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: definitely improved with that aspect of the game. Is this

1477
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 1: the most challenging opponent in terms of eye discipline and

1478
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 1: making sure you're really aware of where the ball is

1479
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 1: and I can staying in for sure. I Mean, they

1480
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: do a lot of things behind the line of scrimmage,

1481
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:49,719
Speaker 1: trying to get our eyes everywhere, But we just gotta

1482
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 1: stay discipplined how tough is it to prepare for a

1483
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: guy like Lamar, considering he has evolved as a passers,

1484
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: Like if you sack, he's may teams pay sometimes, Like

1485
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm difficult that It's just tough, and I feel like

1486
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 1: the coaches came up with a good game plan for

1487
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: us though, so we just got to go out there

1488
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: and execute and challenging gets it to go from extreme

1489
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: heats and now it looks like it's gonna be a

1490
01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: lot of rain. I mean, we've been practicing in it,

1491
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, So it's not too bad.

1492
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: I feel like Baltimore. I mean that's kind of like

1493
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo's weather, you know, So it's not gonna be too

1494
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 1: much of a difference, just because we've been practicing out

1495
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 1: here and it's the Bible to save your real cool dude,

1496
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean a vet, you know what I'm saying. He's

1497
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 1: had a lot of years under his belt and been

1498
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: a lot in this league. So having a guy like

1499
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: that around is it's definitely helpful. Exist yeah, I mean, yeah,

1500
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: it does. But you know what I'm saying that that's

1501
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 1: in the past for me. You know what I'm saying,

1502
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make plays on Sunday, change the changing narrative. Yeah,

1503
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 1: all right, that's Aron Johnson in the locker room. Uh,

1504
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: kind of feeling the media in on what he's expecting

1505
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 1: for Sunday. We should bring you a couple of more

1506
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 1: practice updates which are presented by Lecam the Lake Erie

1507
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 1: College of Osteopathic Medicine. Gabe Davis did not practice today.

1508
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: He practiced on a limited basis yesterday due to that

1509
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 1: ankle injury that has been bothering him for a couple

1510
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: of weeks now. Did not practice today. Dion Dawkins, who

1511
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: was out with an illness yesterday, returned to practice, so

1512
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 1: that is good news. And as we told you, we

1513
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 1: saw Ryan Bates doing football specific activities, which based on

1514
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 1: the five step returned to participation protocol in the Concussion

1515
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: Protocol is step four out of five, so we'll see

1516
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 1: where it goes tomorrow. He was still wearing a red

1517
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: non contact jersey, so too was Dane Jackson, still in

1518
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: a red non contact jersey. He participated on a limited

1519
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 1: basis yesterday. We'll see what his designation in terms of

1520
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 1: participation is today when the injury report is released later

1521
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 1: this afternoon. So that's kind of where that stands. They

1522
01:24:55,680 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: are getting healthier, slowly, slowly. They're not going to have

1523
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: every single guy back. Still, we'll see what Mitch Morrise

1524
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,720
Speaker 1: is doing. Whether he was back in he looked like

1525
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 1: he was doing, said Oliver. You know Jordan Phillips, all

1526
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: these guys that have been in and out even poorer,

1527
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: those kind of guys, I mean, sooner or later, in

1528
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: another two or three weeks, it looks like they could

1529
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: be almost back. With the exception of Micah Hide, it

1530
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: seems like they could be back to full strength where

1531
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 1: they were week one week two. But it's you know,

1532
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 1: they're all getting back at once, that's for sure. Jerry

1533
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,640
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, I'm going with defense. The

1534
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: offense totally walk the Dolphins up and down the field.

1535
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: Missqs on offense, not a lack of it is what

1536
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: costs them the game. They can score, but they need

1537
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: to stop them from scoring. And Jeremy on the tweet

1538
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: sheets says, I voted a which is the offense, because yes,

1539
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: we have good depth, but nothing replaces the starters. The

1540
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 1: continuity they all have was evident when they all went

1541
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:05,599
Speaker 1: out totally different game when everyone is in there, well,

1542
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: amen to that. I think they're gonna have to lean

1543
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 1: on the offense because I'm not convinced the defense is

1544
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:15,719
Speaker 1: going to be back to full health this week. Jordan

1545
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: Phillips is week to week. He was basically ruled without

1546
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:23,720
Speaker 1: saying it out for this week's game by coach McDermott.

1547
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 1: Payer's iffy. I think Dane Jackson's probably less than iffy.

1548
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: You know, so soon removed from the neck injury. You

1549
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: don't have Benford, yep, you know. I know you have

1550
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes now on the practice squad and you can

1551
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 1: call him up at the end of the week. But

1552
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: we're I'm not trying to insult anybody, but we're kind

1553
01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 1: of mixing in some spare parts here on the defensive

1554
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Yeah, they're they're mixing and matching

1555
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: to spots. No question, They're not one hundred percent at

1556
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:56,639
Speaker 1: all in the secondary. They're not gonna feel like they're

1557
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: one hundred percent until poor Year's back, Dane Jackson's backs, hopefully,

1558
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: Tredavious Dane and Benford. You know, they've they've been ravaged

1559
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: back there a little bit, and it's been it's it's

1560
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. It's gonna be very difficult to hold

1561
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: it together back there because now it's not just that

1562
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: these guys you know, haven't played a lot, or that

1563
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: they're not as good as the guys they've replaced yet,

1564
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 1: but it's also they haven't played together. Ye So you know,

1565
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: you turn around and where Micah Hide Mica would give

1566
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 1: a head nod, it would mean something to Dane Jackson.

1567
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: Now he's got to explain, you know, three in three

1568
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 1: or four sentences in two seconds, what he's trying to communicate.

1569
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 1: And it's it's hard. It's hard. Yeah, break time for us.

1570
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: Steve and I will wrap things up next year on

1571
01:27:48,120 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Stay tuned, all right, welcome back to

1572
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 1: One Bills, Why Chris Brown, Steve task what we do

1573
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: here on a Thursday. We're wrapping things up, and as

1574
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 1: we said, we will get the Thursday injury report a

1575
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 1: little bit later on this afternoon. Stay tuned to Twitter

1576
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 1: for that, as I'll be sure to post it as

1577
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: soon as I can. We'll also have it on Buffalo

1578
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 1: bills dot Com to see just where things are one

1579
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:28,799
Speaker 1: day closer to the game. Knowing you have some question

1580
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: marks that the Bills are hoping to get back, chief

1581
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 1: among them Mitch morse Ed Oliver Jordan Poyer. Those three

1582
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: are pretty dang important and they have a chance to

1583
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 1: get back too. Yeah. Yeah, So we'll have to see

1584
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,639
Speaker 1: what comes of it, because if you have those three

1585
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: guys back, that goes a long way and refortifying your

1586
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,439
Speaker 1: roster and not looking like the skeleton crew that they

1587
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:58,679
Speaker 1: had last week. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna get better, no question,

1588
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: but not one hundred percent before this game. And yeah,

1589
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 1: the conditions are really what you worry about in this game.

1590
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 1: If you'd love to see him play in a nice

1591
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 1: day and give yourself a chance to play the kind

1592
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: of football you want. But I don't think there's any question.

1593
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 1: If this game turns into a quagmire and a mud

1594
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: hole and a pouring rain, it favors the Baltimore Ravens

1595
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 1: the home team. Yeah, that'll do it for Steve and

1596
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,760
Speaker 1: I here on a Thursday. Keep your ear to the

1597
01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 1: ground on the weather reports. We'll have those for you too.

1598
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow at one
