1
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: player for you state Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: in the stratgire of normalcy here. Quee it up for

5
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: a Friday edition of One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Tasker with you on a beautiful fall afternoon here in

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: Orchard Park at the Seneca Studios as we are ready

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: to kick off a jam pack show today which will

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: include some NFL stalwarts in addition to the latest installment

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: of Tasker's teammates, which will come your way at twelve thirty.

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah from NFL Network at one o'clock, and then

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: at one twenty five NFL Films Greg Cosell, and then

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: we'll have our own multimedia reporter, Manny glab In with

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: as reporter at two thirty to give us the lowdown

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: in Nashville. And it's changing by the day, but the

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: biggest news obviously coming down last night when the league

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: put a contingency plan in place, and that is as follows,

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: provided there are no more positives coming out of the

19
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Titans organization, and there were none today the game that

20
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: was supposed to be played on Sunday, will be played

21
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Tuesday night at seven pm, and that would obviously move

22
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: the Bills Week six game against the Chiefs to the

23
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: weekend next week. There is no definitive day that has

24
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: been laid out by the NFL as to when that

25
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs game will take place. And my presumption as to

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: why that is the case, Steve, is because the Week

27
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: five game that's supposed to now be played Tuesday evening

28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: is not lockstock and barrel just yet either, because if

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: they're are more positive, say tomorrow morning at the Titans organization,

30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football's back on it, it's gonna complicate things

31
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: and the Thursday night game could go where it originally

32
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: was intended. And Steve and I were talking about this

33
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: before we came on the show, because the Bills announced

34
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: this morning that they are not practicing today, so there

35
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: is no media availability obviously because the players aren't here,

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: and coach McDermott, who usually has a segment on the

37
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: flagship radio station here in Buffalo Friday mornings, WGR, that

38
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: was not happening today, nor was his scheduled press conference

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: with the media on a Friday before a game due

40
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: in part to the league's new schedule for the Week

41
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: five game between the Bills and Titans, but also as

42
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Steve and I were talking about, the reason the players

43
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: aren't here today is because the coaches, and these are

44
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: the guys you got to feel for the most. With

45
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: all this schedule juggling, they are probably form elating the

46
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: game plan for the Chiefs game today so that it's

47
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: ready to roll when they come out of Tuesdays and

48
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: Tuesday night's game on Wednesday. Right, that's now, the players

49
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: will get the day off on Wednesday after a Tuesday.

50
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: If the game happens on Tuesday, play right, they may

51
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: come in, work out or whatever. They're gonna have to

52
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: have a day off before the Sunday game whenever it

53
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: is Tuesday. And I don't know if it's Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday, Sunday, Tuesday, Monday,

54
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: whatever they're gonna play. If they play the Titans on Tuesday,

55
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: we don't know what day they're gonna play the Chiefs on.

56
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: We know it's not gonna be Thursday, but they're gonna

57
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: play those guys this weekend. This week they gotta get

58
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: ready for it. And when you're gonna well, we don't. Well,

59
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: the reason they have to the reason they have to

60
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: get ready for it, Stevens, Because you don't definitively know

61
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: it's not on Thursday. That it's not on Thursday, right,

62
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: it's if things go according to plan, it won't be.

63
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: But as we've seen, the positive tests coming out of

64
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Organization have thrown things all out of whack.

65
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: It didn't have any positives today today. And if they

66
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: don't have any positives tomorrow, it sounds like they're gonna

67
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: let everybody obviously who's not testing positive and well they

68
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: can get back in their building tomorrow afternoon. Yeah, there

69
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: sounds like the doors will open there tomorrow afternoon so

70
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: they can practice and do whatever. Yeah, I'm just gonna

71
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: say this if you're the Bills as an organization, and

72
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm not speaking for them when I say this, but

73
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: this has got to be annoying. Man, Like, I know,

74
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: you just got a role and power through the university,

75
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: everything and everything, but man, you talk about a hand

76
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: you got delt here, and I know I know the

77
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Patriots got delta crummy hand last week that's played without

78
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Absolutely Okay, so we knew it wasn't gonna

79
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: be fair going in. But as far as the tight

80
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: when you compare the situation that the Titans now have

81
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: and the situation that the Bills have as a result

82
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: of all of this, I think you can make the

83
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: argument that the Bills are in a worse spot than

84
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: the Titans are now. The Titans may argue, what are

85
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: you talking about. We haven't practiced in almost two weeks

86
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: because of your own missteps. Okay, so the Titans, in

87
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: the best case scenario practice Saturday afternoon. Sunday probably do

88
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: like a Saturday walkthrough. On Monday, travel or no, they

89
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: don't travel, They're playing at home, and then play Tuesday

90
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: night the Bills while there is extra run up time

91
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: to the Tuesday night game by not playing Sunday, now

92
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: they've got to play. They're going to play two games

93
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: in the span of what we're guessing, because we don't

94
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: know exactly what day the Chiefs five days now, they're

95
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: originally supposed to play two in five previously Titans on Sunday,

96
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs on Thursday. So I get it. But that's a

97
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: tough spot, man, And there was going to be no

98
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: great answer to this to begin with, the reason I

99
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: think Tuesday helps the Titans more than the Bills is

100
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: because the Titans are actually going to probably be getting

101
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: players off of their COVID list because some of the

102
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: original positives from the outbreak are now once you get

103
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: to the game, they're going to be fourteen days removed

104
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: from when they first tested positive. And the rules are

105
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: as follows. Okay, the date each player tests positive is

106
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: important because it dictates when that player can return to

107
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: team activities. So, according to NFL rules, there are two scenarios,

108
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: depending on whether the COVID positive player is symptomatic or

109
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: a symptomatic. If the COVID positive player is asymptomatic, he

110
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: can return if ten days have passed since his initial

111
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: positive test or five days have passed since his initial

112
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: positive test and he has two consecutive negative results twenty

113
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: four hours apart. If they're symptomatic, they can return at

114
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: least after at least ten days have passed since symptoms

115
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: first appeared and at least seventy two hours have passed

116
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: since he last experienced symptoms. So who does that apply to?

117
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: We've talked about the what is this? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

118
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 1: thirteen players. Okay, so you've got defensive back Gregg Maybon

119
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: tested positive on September twenty fourth, to Quan Jones September

120
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, long snapper Bo Brinkley September twenty ninth, tight

121
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: end Tommy Hudson September twenty ninth. He won't be eligible.

122
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: He got suspended for peeds. He's out for six games.

123
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: The linebacker Kamalay Korea September thirtieth. Cornerback Christian Fulton a

124
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: starter October first. Okay, all of those guys will be

125
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: more than ten days removed from testing positive by the

126
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: time we get to game day, right. That would not

127
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: have been the case for some of these guys had

128
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: they played the game on Sunday. So it's almost as

129
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: if by pushing the game to Tuesday, conceivably more of

130
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: their COVID nineteen IR players will be off of COVID

131
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: nineteen IR to play the game. And also the five

132
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: staff members as well who tested positive with the first

133
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: group or the first wave of those are all those

134
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: people all be able to get back in the building

135
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: theoretically if they're symptom free. Now that's one of the

136
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: things too that has come out of this. We're starting

137
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: to get inklings of what the NFL has found in

138
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: their investigations. One of the things has been that this

139
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: got into the building in Tennessee because guys weren't honest

140
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: with how they were feeling. They would come in and

141
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: and for those of you who have to who go

142
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: to work, and you go through these protocols like we do,

143
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: either fill out a questionnaire or you get a questioned

144
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: when you come in, you get your temperature taken all

145
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: the time, and guys are just saying, I want to

146
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: come to work, so I'm just I don't feel great.

147
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: I got and they don't foolishly either don't attribute it

148
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: to being sick and not just having a bad morning.

149
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: But they don't tell them. They don't They didn't tell

150
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: anybody they were feeling. Now, I don't feel that great,

151
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: so they said, now I'm I'm good enough to go work.

152
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff like you do normally when it's

153
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: just a cold, Well, all of a sudden, one of

154
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: those guys comes in. He's symptomatic, he's shedding the virus,

155
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: and you know, eight people come down with it, and

156
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: because of them, every you know, every day thereafter for

157
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: five days, somebody's coming down with the virus. And that's

158
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: what happened. And that's how this you know, Genie got

159
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: out of the bottle is because somebody wasn't honest with

160
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: a in during the protocols. The League has been adamant

161
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: about the quality of their protocols because we know this.

162
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: And even when those guys are in the building, they're separated,

163
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: they keep them socially distanced. They're all wearing they're supposed

164
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: to be wearing masks. Meetings in the cafeteria. Titans, the

165
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: Titans words coming out. The Titans were very relaxed on

166
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: guys wearing masks when they were in the building, and

167
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: they were they were once they got in and everybody

168
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: felt felt like, nine, now we're all getting tested. Nobody

169
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: here's got it and that kind of thing. So they

170
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: were they had turned ratcheted down the intensity of you know,

171
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: their COVID restrictions once they got in the building. And

172
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: because somebody wasn't honest when they came to work that day,

173
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you got to you got an outbreak.

174
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: That's what seems to be, and it may come out

175
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: a little less than that. Are different than that but

176
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: it seems to be That's what they're pointing to is

177
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: how this thing got out in Tennessee. Yeah, from the

178
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: more we look at the Titans, the more people are going, guys,

179
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You know. They they got guys

180
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: working out when they're not supposed to be working out

181
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: together after they were told not to. You got guys

182
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: not telling the truth about how they feel when they

183
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: come to work in the morning and inside the building.

184
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: They're not making people wear their masks as village as

185
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: diligently as they should. So all of this happens, and

186
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: sure enough, they're the team that gets nicked with an

187
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: outbreak rather than like the Patriots. One guy got it,

188
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: then he gave it to the guy he had dinner

189
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: with on Friday, and then the Raiders. One guy got

190
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: it and he wasn't even one of the ones who

191
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: had done the you know, the event. He's just okay.

192
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: So you know, that's how they kind of expect this

193
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:46,239
Speaker 1: to go under the protocols they have that we can handle. Yeah,

194
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: it's no fun when you're starting quarterback for the Patriots

195
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: goes down, but but the league can handle that. But

196
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: you got to do the protocols and the Tennessee Titans

197
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: have not done that. They felt that level of the

198
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: outbreak would certainly indicate they did not in many ways,

199
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: some of the ways that have already been reported, some

200
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: other ways that have been speculated that they have not

201
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: adhered to the mask wearing in their facility. So I think,

202
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: and I think that workout that we've been talking about

203
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: all week, where they got fifteen guys and then another

204
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: group of ten guys comes out after that, that to

205
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: me speaks to the attitude they've been exposed to inside

206
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: the building. Say listen, we're getting around that we're gonna

207
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: do what we can do, that kind of thing, you

208
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Because I think if if your

209
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: head coach says you're not doing this, and we're on this,

210
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: we're on this, we're on this, we're on this, we're

211
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: doing this, you know we're doing this the right way.

212
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: So if you don't feel free to make those kind

213
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: of decisions, whether coach tells you, and the coach that

214
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: coach wouldn't tell you that, you know, if he wouldn't

215
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: be the one to tell you to go work out

216
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: if he was right. So knowing that the league has

217
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: already come down and find NFL clubs two hundred and

218
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: fifty k for improper mask wearing and has find head

219
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: coaches a hundred k for improper mask wearing and find

220
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders players for attending that event. I don't remember

221
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: what the breakdown was per player, but I do know

222
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: the total amount was one hundred and sixty five thousand

223
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: dollars for all the players at the charity event without

224
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: masks indoors with a hundred people. They don't know. What

225
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: do you think will be the discipline handed down to

226
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: Titans head coach Mike Rabel and general manager John Robinson?

227
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: Because this is a multi layered failure of protocols and

228
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: the buck stops with those two. I mean it really does.

229
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: So are we talking suspensions? Does Mike Rabel get to

230
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: coach's team right? I don't know. There's a lot of people.

231
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: Are people around the league are made a couple of

232
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: I think I think it was Tom Peliser, I'm not sure.

233
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: One of the reporters on Twitter came out and he

234
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: said he spoke to a high level official in another

235
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: team than the Titans. They asked about what you think

236
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: is going to happen to Rabel and Robinson? The GM

237
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: and head coach of the Titans. Out of all this,

238
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: he's what what kind of punishment are they going to do?

239
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: And he said and he was, you know, obviously because

240
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: of what he said, he was pretty ticked. He goes,

241
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: I think Robinson and Vrabel get suspended for the rest

242
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: of the year, they lose a twenty twenty two or

243
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one draft first round draft pick, and the

244
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: club gets fined ten million dollars. I'm like, wow, I

245
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: won't but you know, I get it. But that's that's

246
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: where the level of emotion is where you got these

247
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: teams busting a gut. I was saying that. It's like

248
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: I was saying the other day, when you have this

249
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: degree of this degree of ignorance with respect to the

250
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: COVID protocols, just flat out ignoring them and not adhering

251
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: to them. The same day you were told your facility

252
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: is closed, don't practice anywhere, don't fraternize with your teammates,

253
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: don't socially gather in any way, shape or form, And

254
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: the next day you're running a practice with fifteen guys

255
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: on a football field. I mean, I don't know if

256
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: you're thumbing your nose anymore and anything than that. I mean,

257
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: you're just what you're doing is flying in the face

258
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: of what all these protocols are designed to protect you

259
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: and your organization against and the league to a larger degree.

260
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: So I think you got to overpunish here. Now, when

261
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: is that going to come down? Probably after the game

262
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: is played. Sometime after the game is played, they'll probably

263
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: hand down the discipline, maybe on like a Friday at

264
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: five pm. Well, they get they usually send the fedexes

265
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: out and they get they get to the clubs on Thursdays. Yeah,

266
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: after the weekend, and I think they're waiting until all

267
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: the dust settles so they can get a clear picture

268
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: of what happened and what they can prove and what

269
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna know and what is just conjecture like for

270
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: guys like you and me who are million miles away

271
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: from it. But they'll find out what really happened, and

272
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: then they'll make their decision and they'll do it fast

273
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: because they want, if they do want to send a message,

274
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: they want to make it right happen. So yeah, this

275
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: isn't going to go away fast. Just when the Titans

276
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: get back in their building. We also have the OBL

277
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: mail bag today. So any question you have about the team,

278
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: or maybe about this game, or maybe about the protocols,

279
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: whatever you have on your mind there, feel free to

280
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,040

302
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: have to see that all these teams are getting complete rest. Well, yeah,

303
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: you're talking. You're talking about the Titans getting an extra

304
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: two days to recover and maybe get some practices in,

305
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs getting extra days before their game

306
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: with the Bills. Is that what you're getting at, That's

308
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, how much do we have to take? And

309
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: then if they want to cut the game, our players

310
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: um because now they want to follow the agreement and

311
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: tell me if I'm out of wrong, and they want

312
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: to follow the agreement to the laws saying that, oh,

313
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna get a check, so we got to take

314
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: the you know, if the game doesn't happen, we gotta

315
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: take the loss on that. It just doesn't make sense. Well, Bernie,

316
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: this is not gonna be fair for everybody. And I

317
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: get what you're saying about the Bills getting you know,

318
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: their teams are gonna be all rested up, But the

319
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: Titans haven't even been in their building. They've been on

320
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: their on their couch at home, and they have been

321
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: for what's gonna be too supposed to be and you know,

322
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 1: whatever workout they got last week or whatever that that

323
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: ain't gonna help them. It's negligible. And they're the Titans

324
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: are at the worst disadvantage in anybody because they're gonna

325
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: have like three days to get ready for a game

326
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday now, and the Bills, can you come in?

327
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: And I've said this too, if the Titans come in,

328
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna play, They're gonna play well on Tuesday. I'll

329
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: just say that the Titans are gonna play very well

330
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: on Tuesday there because they're gonn to be emotionally, you know,

331
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: invested in if they're going to have a point to prove.

332
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: They're gonna have every excuse under the book why nobody

333
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: thinks they should be able to win that game. Everybody's

334
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: mad at him because they you know, they got this outbreak.

335
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: They're gonna play wild, loose and free, and that's a

336
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: tough team to beat. So I think that's more of

337
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: an advantage for the Titans than it is a disadvantage

338
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I think the Bills will be ready

339
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: for this game, but I think the Titans. Their advantage

340
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: isn't in the rest, it's in the fact that they

341
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: didn't have to. You know, they can show up and

342
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: just play, and that's like a dream come true for

343
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. You know, you don't have to

344
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: go to practice, you have to work out, you don't

345
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: have to do all this other stuff. I will say

346
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: the extra couple of days could potentially be helpful for

347
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: people like Tredavious White, who again was listed as a

348
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: non participant as a practice estimate today. Obviously the team

349
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: didn't practice today, but by rule, the team still has

350
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: to put out an injury report with an estimate as

351
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: to what a player's participation level be. Here on Friday,

352
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: and Tredevious White was a DNP for the third consecutive

353
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: day with a back injury. John Brown was still limited

354
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: with a calf injury. Andre Roberts was another DNP for

355
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: the entire week, and Matt Milano was a DNP for

356
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: the entire week. So we're gonna have to see where

357
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: it goes. But Friday, Saturday, Sunday could be crucial recovery days.

358
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: For someone with an injury on Buffalo's injury list right now.

359
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can get if the difference between playing

360
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: Sunday and Tuesday is having Tredevious White or not having

361
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: Tredevious White, you could argue that's a pretty sizeable edge

362
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: for the Bills by having a game. And it also

363
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: they could look at it both ways as guys like

364
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: Zach Moss too, you know, guys who were right on

365
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: their way back. And for a guy like Josh Norman

366
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: who got into his first action, you know, and after,

367
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, your first game after being out of it

368
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: for ten months, probably he could use a couple extra

369
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: days at his age, you know. So it's there's a

370
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: lot of ways to slice that, and every guy's different,

371
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: But I think as an organization, I'll have to go

372
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: along with Bernie. You're right, the Titans with a couple

373
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: of just a couple of quick days to get ready

374
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: for a game after having a month to you know,

375
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: get it sharp. Yeah, Yeah, that's I think the Titans

376
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: are gonna I think they're gonna play really well. I

377
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: think they're gonna play really well. Eight oh three oh

378
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: five fifty. Let's go to DJ in Hamburg. DJ, what

379
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Thanks for joining the show. Yelemen,

380
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: how are you doing that good? Yeah? Yeah, I think

381
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: they're going to be more and ready to you know,

382
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: like my wife dad the other the other day, she's

383
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: where we ought to beat them. I says, don't don't.

384
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that way, you know what I mean?

385
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: I said, Uh, they're gonna be more and ready and

386
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: they're at home. The Bill's got to be concerned about

387
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: the virus. My question is this, do you think the

388
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: Bills will implement or impose the room for this particular

389
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: game if it's played Tuesday night, to wear mask on

390
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: the sidelines and wear masks on the field under their helmets,

391
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: not under their helmets. But they may have those plastic

392
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: face shields installed on some of their helmets. I'm sure

393
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: some of the guys might. And they're already required all

394
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: the staff and coaches, everybody's required to wear a mask

395
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, and it strongly suggested that the players

396
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: when they are not in the game wear a mask

397
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: on the sidelines as well. But again we can go

398
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: back to what we have seen to this point, which

399
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: is there has not been any team to team transmission

400
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: from being exposed to COVID positive players on the field.

401
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour was technically shedding the virus against the Chiefs

402
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: on Monday night last week, and no Chiefs have it.

403
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: We know that the Raiders player Maurice Hurst was shaking

404
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: hands and dapping people up after the game to face

405
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: Huge give him a hug. And to this point, knock

406
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: on wood, you know, no positives for the Bills, and

407
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: we know that there were no positives for the Vikings

408
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: after playing the Titans. So to this point, there's no

409
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: team to team transmission. If we want to look at

410
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: this in a positive way, what else? DJ? Yeah, I

411
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: was just gonna say my home was face to face

412
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: with gilmore right, you know that's right. It takes, they say,

413
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta be there and face to face

414
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: and be within six feet of them for fifteen minutes,

415
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: and you know the amount of I guess too that

416
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: the amount of virus that is shed upon you has

417
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: it obviously is correlated to how bad your symptoms become.

418
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: M I've heard that um stated as well by a

419
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: medical official. I don't know if that's actually true or not,

420
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: but that's it seems to be that that time. It

421
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: takes that much time to get enough of the virus

422
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: on you. So you know when these quick hugs and stuff,

423
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: they seem to be okay with these guys. And that's

424
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: that's the amazing thing about that. Luck. I mean, let's

425
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: be honest, that's luck more than anything. But that's the

426
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: amazing part about this whole thing. We were all worried

427
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: that players are going to pass it back and forth

428
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: between sideline to sideline and team to team, line it

429
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: up acrossing each other. That's that's proven to be the

430
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: safest place is on the field on these kind of

431
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: know if we can say that, But there's nobody catching

432
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 1: it from And that's the amazing part because you figure,

433
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: you know that she just figured that would happen if

434
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: if they played with guys who seemed to be were

435
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 1: proven to be shedding the virus at the time they

436
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: were on the field. It's amazing, Yeah, no question about it.

437
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised in light of what we've seen in

438
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: terms of the positives and their exposure to players on

439
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: the field. Back to the phones and to Rick in Wheatfield, Rick,

440
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you have Hi? I

441
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: just wanted to suggest that if Tennessee has more positives

442
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: and this game can't be played and they have to forfeit,

443
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: that as part of the penalty, Tennessee should have to

444
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: pay the salaries of the Bills players. Yeah, I get that.

445
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: That's yeah, Rick, that's a that's been tossed around by

446
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: a lot of people that you know, the Bills gonna

447
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: get a forfeited game, and by the rules, if that

448
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: game's not played or rescheduled, they don't get paid for it.

449
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: And for some of these guys, that is a lot

450
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: of money. And yeah, and through no fault of their

451
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: own that this happened. But also we know this as

452
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: well for the NFL, forfeiting these games in any way,

453
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: shape or form is a last resort they will. They

454
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: don't want these games to be forfeited. They don't want

455
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: to compromise the inventory, right because if they do forfeit games,

456
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: they have to you know, all this the rights moneies

457
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: that are given to them by the television people are

458
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: pro rated, and that game is worth so much. So

459
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: now you have givebacks to the net. Givebacks to the

460
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: net players don't get paid, So now the players Association

461
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: isn't happy. So yeah, there's a domino effect there in

462
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: a road that they just don't want to go down

463
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: and if they can avoid it at at anyway, And

464
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: then you've got that team and the two teams in

465
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 1: this case who've only played fifteen games for the season.

466
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: So there, now, what are the what are the tiebreakers?

467
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: What are winering percentages? Who they beat, how they beat them,

468
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: where do they where were those games played? You know,

469
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: all of this stuff comes into play for playoff tiebreakers

470
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: where and the players have no say in it. And

471
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: so that's that's also an issue that would come down

472
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: the road. Now here's and this has been bandied about

473
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: as well, the week eighteen, week nineteen of the regular season.

474
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: Just adding a couple of weeks onto the regular season. Now,

475
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: they can do that and still fit the super Bowl

476
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: in February a couple of weeks later, obviously, but they're

477
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: not going to do that until they are absolutely pushed

478
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: up against the wall, you know, and with their arm twisted.

479
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: Because it's week five. What happens in week eight when

480
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: it happens again, and then in week twelve when it

481
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: happens again, and all the talk from the medical experts

482
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: about this second wave that's supposed to come when the

483
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: weather starts really getting colder. In this virus travels better,

484
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: according to their because here's research, here's what you run.

485
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: The risk of a team like Tennessee they've got three

486
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: games to make up at the end of the season. Well,

487
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: then what are you gonna do? Then now you're you're

488
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: you're caught again. Or if two teams have one game

489
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: they need to make up, not between them, but they

490
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: have two teams with two other teams they got to

491
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 1: make a game up, and then those two other teams

492
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: have two games to make up. Yeah, it's so. Then

493
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: you've got a team and then the team with the

494
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: number one seed who's played sixteen games. They got lucky,

495
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: they're one of the ones that got through the entire

496
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: sixteen weeks schedule. They're in the number one seed and

497
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: they have their they want their bye week now, and

498
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: you're not goingly giving them a bye week. You're giving

499
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: them four bye weeks. So you got three weeks eighteen

500
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty of the regular seasons and then the wildcard

501
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: round and then the divisional round where they finally have

502
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: a home game in their stadium. Yeah, you're giving them

503
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: a month off and they're gonna They're gonna show up

504
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: and play night, play good. That's what they're trying to

505
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: So that's the issue as well. You got teams that

506
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: may be in the playoffs. I have to wait around

507
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: from the better part of a month for the rest

508
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: of the team to finish their regular season. All right,

509
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. But when we return,

510
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,600

00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: breaking all records and a record he won't break this week.

Speaker 1: Got it in one clue last week. We'll see if

515
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: we can make it a little more difficult this time around.

529
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: of course, as you know. So I didn't figure I

Speaker 1: In the second second clue, so taking it a step further.

536
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: In high school for sport as I was a standout

537
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: in football, track, wrestling, and baseball. Ted Washington, it is

538
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: Ted Washington. Well done, Steve, And we don't have Ted

539
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: even on the phone yet, because you got it so

540
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: damn fast. Ted, Well, I got right. It was t Yeah,

541
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: he won a Stay title in wrestling. Yeah, it was

542
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: in the It was in the Unlimited weight class. Yeah,

543
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: no doubt. Let me tell you a story about Ted

544
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: so and I know that you know this. And I

545
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: hung out all my guys. They're all big, right, They're

546
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: all six five, you know, and so you kind of

547
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: get immune to hanging around and being the big with

548
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: big guys. And every day when I walked when Ted

549
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: Washington came to our team in ninety five or ninety six,

550
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: every day I saw him walk in the locker room,

551
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: I thought, man, that guy is big. I never got

552
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: immune to how big he was an end. That word

553
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: got out that he was a wrestler. That's how I

554
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: got it. I thought, oh, he's a wrestler. Kay, And

555
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: I playfully one time squared off in the middle of

556
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: the locker room with him, right, you know, I wasn't

557
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna wrestler him, but I wanna say, okay, so I'm

558
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: getting We're like okay. So he's he like gets in

559
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: his wrestling stance and I got like a hair too close.

560
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: His arm came out like a rattlesnake, grabbed me, grabbed

561
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: me by the form, and he was so strong he

562
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: didn't even have to wrestle me. He just gripped my

563
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: arm hard and bent and just bent me to the ground.

564
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: I went down on my back like I would like

565
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: I was a fat tick. I was laying on the

566
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: ground going let out, let go Uncle. I could not

567
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: believe how fast his hand reached out. And because you know,

568
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: I felt like I could, you know I could. I

569
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: had some quicks, right, yeah, No, Teddy gets his hands.

570
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: He had me on the ground and like literally two

571
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: seconds he yes. And you know, not being a big

572
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: person myself, you know, you do kind of get accustomed

573
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: to walking around the equivalent of trees in an NFL

574
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: locker room with these big men. But he was an

575
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: exception because he was a mammoth human like. He walked

576
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: into the room and filled it um ted I think

577
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: the most amazing thing was the guy played until he

578
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: was thirty nine years old at a position that is

579
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: just I mean, you want to talk about a grinding position.

580
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: Ted was. He truly was a Hall of Fame caliber player.

581
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: He really was a hall he was. He was a

582
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: nominee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in twenty thirteen.

583
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: He should be on that list almost every year. He

584
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: deserves it. I don't think he was ever on a

585
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: team that wasn't in the top five in rushing defense,

586
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: and he was the big reason for it. Uke. I

587
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: remember Kent hole in nineteen ninety five, is Kent's last year,

588
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: and in training camp and I don't know, we're out

589
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: for a beer or something, and somebody goes, what's that.

590
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: Ted Washington tells what's what's he like? Because Ken Kent

591
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: compete it right there in practice, right and Kent, I

592
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: remember if he got that look on his face, like

593
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: he goes when I snapped that ball, if if you

594
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: let him get his hip set, which I don't know

595
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: what that meant, you know, but I guess if you

596
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: let him get his hips turned and planted, Kent goes,

597
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: you can't move him. No, you cannot move him. And

598
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: that means Kent and whichever two or both guards wanted

599
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: to help him, he says, you can't move him. And

600
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: it's the truth. Ted could hold the line of scrimmage

601
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: every single time. Now, he was a phenomenal player and

602
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: played won a World championship with a Patriot. Yeah. It

603
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: was a I think a eight eighth overall pick or

604
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: some fifth pick in the first round. Yeah. By the

605
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine played their three season he came

606
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: to buff Fraid to Denver, played there for a year. Yeah,

607
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: he got traded to Denver, played for Wade Phillips in Denver,

608
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: and he had gotten like a foot injury or something

609
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: that when he was in San Francisco or maybe it

610
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: wasn't Denver, and they kind of lost their faith him

611
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: in him or whatever, and Wade thought, no, he was

612
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: He played hurt for me. He tried to go with

613
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: a foot injury, and Wade brought him in with Marv

614
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: and that defense all of a sudden got real good,

615
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: real fast. Oh yeah, I mean in nineteen ninety nine

616
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: they were number one in the league on the eleven

617
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: and five team, you know, because it was still him,

Speaker 1: Bruce and Phil. I mean he was for ted four

619
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: and then you got pop coming off the edge. There

00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: was Teddy was something else. He was really something else.

621
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: And great guy too. He's a great Bill and a

Speaker 1: the last season of your career ninety seven. So that

625
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,080

629
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,720

639
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: don't think I I didn't. Maybe we did, I don't know,

Speaker 1: still got that hanging in my house. Yeah. I'm just

643
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: amazed he didn't retire until age thirty nine. I mean,

644
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: the guy played play in that position and playing until

645
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: age thirty nine. I mean, Mike's a it's a testament

Speaker 1: that he is. He was different. He was a he

648
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: is an absolute um all right, Well, I know we

649
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: were supposed to get ted on, but I don't think

650
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: we're able to connect with him right now. But he

651
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: is the latest answer to Tasker's teammate, presented by Wegman's

652
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: meals to go, so good on you, Steve. You got

653
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: it in two clues. You are rolling right now? Yeah, Well,

654
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how much more cryptic I can make

655
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: these clues. Um. Yeah, the four sport you know people

656
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: think about it four sport athlete. Well right, and I

657
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: thought I would have thrown you off, like because I

658
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: said track, Like, so maybe I'm hoping you're thinking running

659
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: I was. I was thinking hurdles, you know. I think

660
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: he was probably shot put discus. That would be my

661
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: bed and he he yeah, the guy, And think about

662
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: trying to wrestle that guy. I mean in the unlimited

663
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: weight class. Bro, it's like if if you're because I

664
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: think the highest weight class in high school I want

665
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: to say, is it's super heavy. It's two seventy five

666
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: and up. Well, no, I don't. I don't know what

667
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: the highest weight class is. I'm not going to pretend

668
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: to know. But whatever it was, whatever it was if

669
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: you're in the same division as Ted Washington, aren't you

670
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: working your tail off to sweat it off and get

671
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: in that lower weight class. You don't want to be

672
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: in the unlimited weight class. But no, no, you know

673
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: what I do. If it was me, You're gonna have

674
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: to wrestle him, might come up lame or the day

675
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: before the meat like run me right out of the gym.

676
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: Uh my, hammy's sore. So that is uh, that is

677
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: Tasker's teammate for this week. We will have another edition

678
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: next week because we try to come up with somebody

679
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: that we can stump Steve with. We have not gotten

680
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: deep into the clue the last couple of weeks, so

681
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: hopefully we can do better. We will get back to

682
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: the story. Yeah, keep giving me real clues though you

683
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: can't just say yeah, he yea well no, I yeah.

684
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: I thought those were fair and not giving too much.

685
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: But it seems like I'm giving the rest of the

686
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: story because you never know which little tidbit's gonna be

687
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: the thing that sets it off, because like this one

688
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: is a wrestling and I thought, okay, wrestler that narrows

689
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: the dad was like fred Smerless was Jimmy Richer it was,

690
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: and then you know Teddy, it's probably alignment, right, and

691
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: then so yeah, you don't get the lightweight classes. Yeah,

692
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: I hear, guys, you get the big ones. All right,

693
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna go back to the phones as the OBL

694
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: mail bag is open, as is the fan or the

695
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: Football Crisis hotline if your football life is intersecting with

696
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,880

00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,799

699
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: question you might have about the Bills. So we go

700
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: back to the phones, and Bob in Rochester is up next. Bob,

701
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you have sir? Hey,

702
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: guys love the show. Listen. I'm wondering about the schedule

703
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: league now, how is it that Tennessee. I don't want

704
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: to sound like a Home or Bills fan, but Tennessee.

705
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo played Tennessee last year in Tennessee, right, well, has

706
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: to play Tennessee this year in Tennessee. A Tennessee seems

707
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: like the jetty doubler breaks. Why can't they move that game?

708
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: If they're playing Tuesday night to up to Buffalo? Let

709
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: them play in Buffalo, so these players don't have to

710
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: go into that Petrie dish the locker room at Tennessee. Yeah, well,

711
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: their their team facility, from what I understand, is not

712
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: at the same location as the stadium, so I don't

713
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: think they're going to be on facility property at any

714
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: point in time on the trip. So that's not most

715
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: of and most of the home and away schedules are

716
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: formulated or formulas. This is across. This is an intraconference

717
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: out of division game, out of division game that was

718
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: based on finish in your respective division. So you have

719
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: two games every year in your conference that is not

720
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: a division game and is not part of the slate

721
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: of division teams you're scheduled to play that year, in

722
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: this case for the Bills, the AFC West and the

723
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: NFC West. So you've got that, and then you have

724
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: two other games within your conference that you play against.

725
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: The Bills finished second last year in their division, so

726
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: they have to play the second place team from the

727
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: AFC South and the second place team from the AFC North,

728
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: that's Tennessee and Pittsburgh, and you play one of them home,

729
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: one of them away. They're playing Pittsburgh home they're playing

730
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee away, So that's how they came up with and

731
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: that situation. So that's yeah, that's so it's all formulated.

732
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with it's just the way

733
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: it falls. And that's why when your team gets good

734
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: and it's and you see another team in your conference

735
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: that kind of has the same trajector like Tennessee and Buffalo, yeah,

736
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: you see him the same. You see him every year

737
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: for like four years because you know you're on the

738
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: same kind of schedule formula. Yeah, that was what was

739
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: going on with Kansas City for a while. You know,

740
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: they were a second or a third place team and

741
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: the Bills were a second or a third place team,

742
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: and then even though they didn't have to pull up

743
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: on them in by playing the AFC West, they would

744
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: invariably face them because they were finishing in the same

745
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: spot in the division every year that the Bills were.

746
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: We have to take a break, but when we come back,

747
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: we have made contact with Mount Washington, so we will

748
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: get ted on the phone when we return. Here on

749
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health, this is Buffalo

750
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, One Bills Live Friday edition,

751
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,160

752
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: to Tasker's team Ate. Steve got you in two guesses,

753
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: Ted Washington. Two clues was all he needed. We didn't

754
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: even get past your high school career and he guessed you.

755
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I was giving up too much, Ted,

756
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: but h I said you were a four sport athlete

757
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: in high school. And the giveaway for Steve was the wrestling.

758
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: Oh man, that was too easy, right, I probably gave

759
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: too much. I didn't even get to the gotten milk clue,

760
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: but he did remember what that was in reference to

761
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: I still got that. That's the clue that I had

762
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: was a gotten rule. Yeah, I've got I've still got

763
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: that hanging in my house. Yeah. How are you doing, Ted?

764
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: You do you look? We had you on FaceTime for

765
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: a minute during the break. How are you feeling? You're

00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: doing good these days? Yeah? I'm doing all right, just

767
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: hanging there, just just you know this COVID stuff, you know,

768
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: it's being extra costs and careful and you know, wearing

769
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: a mask and just not doing a lot of traveling

770
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: and just wait till this crap is over with. What

771
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: do you you played for an awful long time. What

772
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: do you remember most about your playing days? I mean,

773
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: you played at the most physical position ever and you

774
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: played for for a long long time. What are you

775
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 1: think you know what you know? What do you think about?

776
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: What do you think back on your football career? You

777
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: played for a bunch of really good football teams and uh,

778
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: you know what do you what do you recall the most? Well?

779
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: To me, it was the fans just coming out of

780
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: tunnels and and and just sending the fans yelling your name,

781
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: being excited at you know with me. You know, I

782
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: haven't been around a lot of top ranked defenses wherever

783
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: I went, and uh, just that feeling just to walk

784
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: door a tunnel, especially Buffalo, and or driving down the

785
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 1: Hambing Road or whatever to just get to the game

786
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: or down twenty eight. That rush would never ever leave.

787
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: I Mean everyone says its your first born or your

788
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: kids and all that good stuff, Yes, but that football

789
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: feeling just to know you got fans out there that

790
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: that love you to de um, that's one of the

791
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: greatest feelings in the world. And how weird would it

792
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: be for you now ted to come out and play

793
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: games and on to nobody on a Sunday. How weird

794
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: would that be for you? I don't the mental part

795
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: will would be hard. I don't know who is um

796
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: what they're doing now? Because you can hear a little

797
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: proud noise. You know how we prepare for a dome

798
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: team and um, we played the loud crowd noise. Yeah,

799
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: are they doing it? Are they doing that now? It's

800
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: the stadium they well mc coach McDermott still does do it.

801
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: He plays loud music throughout every practice, partly to keep

802
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: everybody's energy yet, but also so the offense can kind

803
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: of get used to it. And I guess the defense too,

804
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: because you know when you're when you're at home, we

805
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: know how loud it gets. No I'm saying, are they

806
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: doing that that now? With the games? Yeah, they're allowed

807
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: to play music and artificial crowd noise, but not I

808
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: think there's a decibel limit though. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's hard.

809
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: If I can hear just the noise, I'll be fine.

810
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: And but just look around and just see limited people.

811
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard, but it's your job and you

812
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do and play that play

813
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: the sixth of minutes when you watch football now and

814
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I take it for granted. You

815
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: watch football, now, what do you think of the players

816
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: that are playing your position and how defenses are deployed

817
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: these days? What do you notice that's different? Or maybe

818
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: what do you notice that's never changed? I hate them.

819
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: I hate the call of amounts. It's the fundamentals of

820
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: the game. Uh. The techniques are different. Uh using the hands,

821
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: it's not you know, I guess they don't emphasize that anymore. Um,

822
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: it's just more like the guys just getting up, just

823
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: get up field and don't feel your gap, make the play.

824
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: That's to me, you're not you know, sound defensive playing.

825
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: You know what are you used to? Grabbing? Throwing down

826
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: and you know technique? Yeah, use in your hand, right,

827
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: But it's I don't see this much. And then you

828
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: know you and happy with that. That's fine, But a

829
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: lot injured, Yeah, because you know you just take an

830
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: off up feeling and not really protecting yourself. Yeah. Well

831
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody could grab people and throw

832
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: him around as well as you could. So ted we are.

833
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: We are unfortunately out of time, but we're glad we're

834
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: able to connect with you after Steve guessed you after

835
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 1: only two guesses. That's got to feel good. So always

836
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: good to talk to you, Ted. We'll catch up with

837
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: you down the road here, all right, Stay safe, stay healthy.

838
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: Thanks Ted, all right, thanks, thanks for having me. All Right.

839
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: That's a three time pro bowler with the Bills, Ted Washington.

840
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: He had four Pro Bowls in his entire career, a

841
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: career that I think spanned sixteen years. Yeah, which is

842
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: mentioned saying he mentioned it. He played on a lot

843
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: of really great defenses, and a lot of those really

844
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: great defenses started right where he was. All Right, we

845
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: have to take a break, but when we return after

846
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, we will have NFL Networks

847
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah, who has done some interesting studies on tape

848
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: involving Josh Allen, and he is as amazed and his

849
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: eyes are as wide open as it is for just

850
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: about the rest of the NFL lands escape with the

851
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: improvements that Josh has made in his game. We'll talk

852
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: to him about that and much more when we return

853
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. This

854
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. Hello, Bills Radio Network Sports Date

855
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: your sports update from one Bill's drive, it is official.

856
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: Pending no more positive tests out of Tennessee, the Bills

857
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: week five matchup with the Titans has been rescheduled for

858
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 1: seven pm on Tuesday. This follows a COVID nineteen outbreak

859
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: within the Titans organization, which has now forced the NFL

860
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: to move the game. The ripple effect of the move

861
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: could now push the Bills Chiefs game, which was originally

862
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: scheduled for Thursday night next week, into the weekend. All

863
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: these moves hinge, of course, on there being no more

864
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: positive tests out of the Titans organization, which was the

865
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: case this morning. As the Titans reported no new positive cases,

866
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: so too did the Patriots, who are now playing their

867
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: Week five game against the Broncos on Monday night. With

868
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: the game being moved, the Bills canceled practice today. Will

869
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the wheel on things over the

870
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: weekend to see if Tradevious White returns to action. He

871
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: was listed as a non participant with an estimated injury

872
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: report put out today. He missed the last two days

873
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 1: with a back injury. Also, wide receiver John Brown left

874
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: Thursday's practice for the nagging calf injury. Will have updates

875
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: throughout the weekend and when we return to the air

876
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: on Monday. The New York Jets are the latest team

877
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: to have a COVID nineteen concern. Multiple reports say the

878
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: Jets have received a positive test result for one of

879
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: their players. It's called a presumptive positive. They are working

880
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: to corroborate it with follow up tests. The player currently

881
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: is being retested to see whether it's a false positive. Meanwhile,

882
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: the Jets have all been sent home for the day

883
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: and there will be no practice. Nick Foles first start

884
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: for the Bears, and he pulls another one out of

885
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: the hat and beats Tom Brady. The Bears defeated the

886
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,959
Speaker 1: Bucks twenty to nineteen. Last night. Chicago's defense swarn Brady

887
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: sacking and three times and generated a season high nineteen pressures.

888
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: And some sad news to pass along as the chairman

889
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: of the board, Whitey Ford has died. The yankees legendary

890
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: pitcher passed earlier today at the age of ninety one

891
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: after a long battle with dementia. Ford pitched on the

892
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: Yankees between nineteen fifty and nineteen sixty seven and was

893
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: the eight for six Yankees championship teams. And that is

894
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: your sports update. Steve tasker Chris Brown our number two

895

Speaker 1: you doing, guy, Thanks for joining us. I'm doing great.

899
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: As the era we live in with internet connections and

900
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: all that stuff, I hope we're good there. I see me.

901
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm flashing a little bit here, guys. I want you

902
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: to know I'm safe and sound. I'm okay. Yeah, I

903
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: didn't know if that might be a lightning storm in

904
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: your area or something. Keep everybody safe these days, right right,

905
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: So it give us your thoughts on the bills four

906
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: oh start and some of the work you've seen from

907
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback they're sporting these days. Well, he's been awesome, Steve.

908
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been fun to watch just kind of

909
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: watch his confidence continue to grow. Somebody that you knew

910
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: I had the talent, just a matter of just is

911
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: he going to really trust it and he's gonna trust

912
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: himself to get it done and to throw with anticipation

913
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: in timing something he's never had to do in his life.

914
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: And now you're seeing Josh Allen put all that together

915
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: and really play it at an MVP level. And to me,

916
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: the other thing I would say about the Bills that

917
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: jumps out and as much grief as that Cowboys got

918
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: this last week for the lack of effort they play

919
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: with on the defensive side of the ball, as this

920
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offense is fun. But man, defensively they play

921
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: so hard and it's just a really good group at

922
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: all three levels. What do you think, DJ about the

923
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 1: completion percentage jump? And I realize we've got a small

924
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: sample here, it's only four games, but the completion percentage jump,

925
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean Steve and I were talking all offseason. Hey,

926
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: it'd be great. You know if Josh makes a step,

927
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: maybe gets up to sixty two, sixty three percent completion.

928
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: I mean he's like twelve and a half percent improvement here.

929
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean that is we were talking to Brian Billick

930
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: last week. I said, in your forty years in football,

931
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: how often have you seen a quarterback with a poor

932
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: completion percentage coming out of college raise his completion percentage

933
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: to that degree? He said, it's unprecedented. Can you recall

934
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: anybody making that kind of a leap? No? I mean

935
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: I guess if you went back and looked. I think

936
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan might have had a little bit lower completion percentage,

937
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: and I know he's been over seventy you know at times,

938
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: so that would be a little bit of a jump there.

939
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: But that's about the only one I can think of.

940
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: And I mean, look, it's it's not like it's bubble

941
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: screened right and left either. I mean he's pushing the

942
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: ball down the field right. And some of them have

943
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: been schemed winners that you know, Greg Romans or not

944
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: Greg Roman. Brian Dayball has done a great job of

945
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: getting some guys in the clearer, but he's made some

946
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: big time, tight window throws down the field. That the

947
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: one that he threw to John Brown last week, there

948
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: wasn't a touchdown, but it was right at the goal line.

949
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: Was it was an absolute seed. I mean that thing

950
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: was on a line and there's two defenders right there

951
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: and he footed in a real tight space. So no,

952
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I remember when he was coming

953
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: out there was some things mechanically I want to say

954
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: he was an overstrider. I know he worked with Jordan

955
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: Palmer on trying to shorten that up a little bit,

956
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: and that can definitely have an impact on your accuracy.

957
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: But I did not see this turning around this fast

958
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: in that regard, right, And he talked about working with

959
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: Palmer about you know, uh, launch angle, put it, putting

960
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: more of his hip into the throw. Because I know

961
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: when he would throw a left and I know you,

962
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: being a former quarterback, can obviously speak better to this

963
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: than I can. But when he would throw it out

964
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: to the left, he would almost do what they don't

965
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: want batters to do in baseball. He'd step in the

966
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: bucket and open his hip and then it becomes all arm.

967
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: But if you look at that Brown throw that you

968
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: were just talking about, he threw off platform. It was

969
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: on the money. Yeah, Yeah, he was completely opened up.

970
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: He was like belly to belly with the goalpost. I

971
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: mean that's where he was facing, and the ball goes

972
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: out to the right side there it is right there. Uh.

973
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's stupid arm strength to be able

974
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: to make that throw and then to do it accurately.

975
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Steve, you've seen you, You've been around something

976
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 1: that can do that, but they're not man. Yeah, you're right.

977
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, i I've tell him Brownie about I played.

978
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: We were talking about John Elway and what he used

979
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: to look like. And it's a little bit like Josh

980
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: Allen's got that. He's big and athletic and run. He's

981
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: got that huge arm. And I told Brownie that those

982
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: guys don't fall on off trees. I mean, I played

983
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl with three guys in another're all

984
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. It's Warren Moon, Jim Kelly

985
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: and Dan and uh John Elway. We're all at the

986
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. I think those are the three guys. I

987
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: know they were there at one time or another. I

988
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: think they were all there together. And watching those three

989
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: guys throw the ball was like you know, watching target

990
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: practice with cannons. I mean it was like you know,

991
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: and and it's you're right. The arm strength is one thing.

992
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: But his ability now to eight I've seen it at

993
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: times in earlier in his Bill's career. But the decisions

994
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: he's making and the answers that he finds, he just

995
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: seems to be getting there so much quicker than he

996
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: did earlier in his career. Yeah, and he's bright. I

997
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: mean I visit him with him going through the process,

998
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: and you guys know him very well. I mean, he

999
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 1: is a very bright guy, and he's very I almost

1000
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: used the word when he was coming out he's just

1001
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: kind of naive. I mean he was very smart, but

1002
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: just kind of just young. He just got he's got

1003
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: a little Opie Taylor in him. Yeah, exactly, And I

1004
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: think you're seeing him kind of everything's slowing down and

1005
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: you're seeing the maturity kind of settle in there. The

1006
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: scary thing is, I mean he's still on the ascension.

1007
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean there's still more ahead of him, and they're

1008
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: going to continue to add more players around him. I

1009
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: mean the defense is pretty well established and set. You

1010
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: bring over Stefan Diggs. We've seen what he's done. I

1011
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: mean he's got good players around him. There's still places

1012
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: that they can upgrade around him to give him even

1013
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: more weapons. That's that's what's gonna be fun to watch

1014
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: this team over the next decade. Talking with Daniel Jeremiah

1015
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: from NFL Network and Jay, you know, you think about

1016
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: what Josh has shown on the field, but let's let's

1017
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: give some kudos here to the guy that's that's pulling

1018
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: the strings. So Brian Dable, you know, this year completely

1019
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: revamps the identity of this offense. I mean it goes

1020
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: to an eleven and ten personnel attack where he's basically

1021
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: putting four receivers on the field and challenging every defense

1022
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: in the league to go four deep with their corners

1023
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: or whatever defensive back combinations they want to and says,

1024
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: we're going to win because you don't go deep enough

1025
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: to cover all these guys, and to this point is worked.

1026
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: But djine over ninety two percent of their play calls

1027
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: have been in ten or eleven personnel, which may not

1028
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: sound surprising for eleven, but they're running ten personnel almost

1029
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the time. Yeah, that's speaking of

1030
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 1: Warren Moon. That goes back to those old oiler teams.

1031
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: Man's shoot, that's how they lived. But that's look spread

1032
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: and shred. It's what we've seen at the college level,

1033
00:55:58,120 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: and now you're starting to see it, you know, even

1034
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: more so at the NFL level. And when you have

1035
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you know a lot of times we you know,

1036
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: think about stretching the field. I think people's mind automatically

1037
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: goes vertically. But when you can go in ten personnel,

1038
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: you can stretch them horizontally, you can stretch them vertically.

1039
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: You've got to have a quarterback though that can make

1040
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: those big time throws outside the numbers, and now you're

1041
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: forcing a defense that defend grass that they're not used

1042
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: to defending. Right, you force them to defend you know,

1043
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: so much space, and with the speed and the and

1044
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 1: the quality of the guys they've got with the route runners,

1045
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,959
Speaker 1: that there's always a vacancy there. One of the things

1046
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 1: we've also noticed, too, is that they have not really

1047
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: tried to. I mean, they've used a lot of play action,

1048
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,479
Speaker 1: but the running game has not been a huge part

1049
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: of what they've don In fact, they're compliment they're doing. Yeah,

1050
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: is that do you see that in other teams? That

1051
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: that kind of trend? I know, well, some teams run

1052
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: it better than the Bills do and some not as good.

1053
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: But is that kind of the way the league is going? Well,

1054
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the Dallas Cowboys would fit that bill. They

1055
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: just right, they haven't been able to run the ball.

1056
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's by choice, but they haven't

1057
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: run the ball as much as they would like to.

1058
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: But no, I think around the league, you're right. I

1059
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: think you know, there was that old logic which was

1060
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to run the ball for

1061
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: play action to be effective, and then that's been refuted.

1062
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, now play actions effective whether or not you're

1063
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: running it really well or not. So I think that

1064
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: factors into it a little bit. And I think, you know,

1065
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: look the other things they're not call holding. They're not

1066
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: calling holding this year. I mean, I'm doing the Charger

1067
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: games every week. I mean, Joey Bosa gets held every

1068
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: single play. And so if you can't, if they're not

1069
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: going to call it, and that's you're gonna sit back

1070
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: there and let these guys pick people apart. You know,

1071
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: why run the ball you don't need to. Yeah, with

1072
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: respect to what we've seen work in terms of the

1073
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: AFC power structure, obviously the Chiefs you know, and they're

1074
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: run to the super Bowl last year with all of

1075
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: those talented weapons at the receiver positions. We've heard ad

1076
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: nauseum over the years how this is a copycat league.

1077
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: But if you just look at what teams in the

1078
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs owned division did in the draft, you know, Denver

1079
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,479
Speaker 1: comes to mind. They already had Courtland Sutton and Noah

1080
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: Fan they go and draft Jerry Judy and kJ Hamler

1081
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,439
Speaker 1: because they're saying, well, we got to have as many

1082
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: weapons as the Chiefs have. I'm looking at it from

1083
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: a different perspective as far as the Bills are concerned,

1084
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: because they still have to slay the Patriots dragon and

1085
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: the Chief showed if you have this many weapons, even

1086
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: a Bill Belichick coach defense can't shut it all down.

1087
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if that's kind of what was Endable

1088
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: and coach McDermott's mind, and maybe even Brandon Bean's mind

1089
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: when they're saying, let's put so many weapons on the

1090
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: field that we have answers for Josh, no matter who

1091
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: a team like the Patriots decides to neutralize and take

1092
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: out of the game. Do you think there's some of

1093
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: that thinking involved there with what we've seen in the

1094
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: construction of this roster. Well, I just think to win

1095
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, now, I mean, forget even the division.

1096
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: But if you want to look at the ultimate prize,

1097
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl, no matter what year it is,

1098
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: you're going to have to be able to win and

1099
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: shoot out games. You're gonna find yourself in one or

1100
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: two of those along the way, and you've got to

1101
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: have enough firepower. It's not it's not good enough anymore

1102
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: to just to say we're gonna play great defense, and

1103
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna be a physical team and control the ball

1104
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 1: and control the clock. You can't that. You can't win

1105
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: like that through through a postseason. You're gonna have to

1106
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: have different styles to win different fights. And I think

1107
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: what they've done is they've given themselves a chance. You know.

1108
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: I talked to a defensive coordinator about the Chiefs and said, look,

1109
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: our goal is seven a quarter. If we can limit

1110
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: them to seven a quarter, that's twenty eight points. That's

1111
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: a lot of points. Yeah, but you've got to have

1112
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: an offense. You got to have an offense that can

1113
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: get you more than twenty eight points. So to me,

1114
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of that you got to run on both

1115
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: tracks there. You can't just rely on the fact that

1116
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna, you know, be a physical team and play

1117
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: great defense. You better have the ability to get in

1118
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: yourself into one of those games to be able to

1119
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: put up thirty one points if you have to. And

1120
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: we we've noticed as well one of the reasons they

1121
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: run ten personnel this year is because they whether they

1122
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: got lucky or whatever, they drafted a wide receiver in

1123
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: the fourth round that looks to be a home run.

1124
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis. He has been everything they hoped he would

1125
00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: be and more and more, and I think it maybe

1126
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: he may be the reason they've decided to go ten

1127
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: personnel to get him on the field. He's been awesome.

1128
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: He's been He's been even better than what I thought

1129
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: he was going to be coming out. This speed was there,

1130
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: you could see it easy at Central Florida. But some

1131
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: of the route polish that he has, and just how

1132
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: physical he's been going up and getting the ball at

1133
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: the highest point, some of those things, I was like, man,

1134
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: that's even better than what I saw at Central Florida.

1135
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: So they found a really good player and they've done

1136
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: a nice job in this brief amount of time of

1137
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: developing him. And you're right, look the good coaches, we're

1138
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: gonna get our best eleven guys on the field. However,

1139
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: we got to do that. We're gonna get him out there.

1140
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 1: And so I think that does make some sense, the

1141
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: correlation between that and all the ten Yeah, and you

1142
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: I think you hit the nail on the head, DJ,

1143
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: because route polish is what this kid has. You don't

1144
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: expect to see twenty two year olds having that and

1145
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: just watching him in training camp the way he creates

1146
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: space for himself. I mean even on a deep sideline route,

1147
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: you know he'll right as the ball is about to come,

1148
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: he'll give that little shoulder lean in on the corner

1149
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: that's stride for stride with him, just a little shoulder

1150
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: bump and then lean away from him to make the catch.

1151
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: And I mean, it's that kind of stuff. You don't

1152
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: see that at a twenty two year olds. No, it's fun.

1153
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch this receiver class set it going

1154
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: in the draft last year was the deepest and the

1155
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: best that I've evaluated since I started in two thousand

1156
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: and three with the Ravens, and I think so far

1157
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: they've all delivered on the goods man, And it's been

1158
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: all the way from the first round guys all the

1159
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: way through the draft. You see these guys each and

1160
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: every week making plays, and I think it's gonna be

1161
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's the norm. You know, these colleges playing

1162
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: four and five wide receivers in every high school and

1163
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: in the country's doing seven on seven in the off season.

1164
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: There's these own seven on seven leagues. You know, these

1165
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: kids are throwing the ball around so much more this

1166
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: college game. That's what they're going to be producing now.

1167
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: If you're looking for quality offensive lineman, that's another another

1168
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 1: conversation for another day. Well, we've also got some other

1169
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: rookies we're looking at on the offensive side of the ball,

1170
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: and it starts with Zach Moss, a running back. He's

1171
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: been on the shelf with a toe injury and it's

1172
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: been a very small samples eyes to see him. We've

1173
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: seen him run the Bills, throwing the ball a lot

1174
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: even when he's in the game. What do you think

1175
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: he can bring to this offense when he's healthy. Well,

1176
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be the four minute back,

1177
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, when when you're gonna get these these leads

1178
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: with this offense and you get a chance to salt

1179
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: games away. That's kind of what Zach Moss has built

1180
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Ford be able to, you know, grind out those yards

1181
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,439
Speaker 1: in that four minute offense. Actually use him a little

1182
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: bit in the passing game. Uh, you know, it's kind

1183
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: of surprised, but that's what Buffalo is doing this year.

1184
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: So I think anything you get from him in the

1185
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: passing game is a bonus. But I think he's going

1186
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: to be your closer and then DJ we would be

1187
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: remiss if we did not talk to you about the

1188
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: quarterback you're getting a chance to watch every week now.

1189
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Kind of unfortunate circumstances for Tyrod Taylor, you know, who's

1190
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: still respected back here in Buffalo. But with what Herbert

1191
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: has done, I mean from the first first start that

1192
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: he finds out about ten minutes before he's got to

1193
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: take the field and before the kickoff he throws for

1194
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: three hundred yards against the Chiefs. Right that was his

1195
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: first start, I think, yep, I mean, what has he

1196
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: exceeded even your expectations? But I mean with all the

1197
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: tape study you do leading up to the draft, then

1198
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: you watch him through camp and then you see his

1199
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: first start. Was that what you were expecting? No? No,

1200
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean I like justin Herbert, but I did not

1201
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: anticipate he would be playing at this high of a

1202
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: level so quickly. And one of the challenges was, you know,

1203
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: when you watch him at Oregon, you see the size

1204
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: of the arm strength, the athleticism, all those things, but

1205
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: you didn't see a lot of like reactionary playmaking, you know,

1206
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: the instinctive side of it. Was that was my concern.

1207
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: And then thus far we've seen him sidestepping rushers doing

1208
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Quite honestly, that Josh Allen's doing

1209
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 1: with Buffalo is just making some big time, big time

1210
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: throws and beating pressure with his athleticism and his arm.

1211
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: And it got me thinking, you know, when you look

1212
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: at Oregon, I almost wonder if they just ingrained it

1213
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: into him. Look, they throw so many conservative plays as

1214
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: a lot of bubble screens. They don't really let him

1215
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,959
Speaker 1: cut him loose. And you have an offensive line coach

1216
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: as a head coach, similar to when you have a

1217
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: defensive head coach. They ingrained in these guys, no turnovers,

1218
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: don't make mistakes, you know, protect the football. And I

1219
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: almost think he played a little bit paralyzed at Oregon.

1220
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: And now I mean he's been cut loose and cut free,

1221
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,439
Speaker 1: and they've played some really good defenses and he's put

1222
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: up big numbers three weeks in a row. He looks

1223
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: like Dan Fould's out there. I mean, it's unbelievable. Yeah,

1224
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you about the other rookie quarterback, the

1225
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,479
Speaker 1: top pick of the draft, Joe Burrow, who we knew

1226
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: he was gonna get a lot of playing time. Didn't

1227
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: know about anybody else but Joe Burrow seems to be

1228
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: making it making He's not getting any time to throw,

1229
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: he's under pressure every play, He's still making plays right.

1230
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow seems to be on his way as well.

1231
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I think he got hit eighteen times in the Philly game.

1232
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: When I went back and charted it. He is. I mean,

1233
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: so you're not ever gonna doubt his toughness. But I

1234
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: think they've done a nice job. Coach Taylor's in a

1235
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: good job of really implementing a lot of things. He

1236
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: did it at LSU. You're seeing, i think last week

1237
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: in eleven dropbacks they were empty. So they're letting him

1238
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: get comfortable there, and they're giving him a lot of answers,

1239
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: getting five guys out consistently, and you're seeing him to

1240
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: get more comfortable and more comfortable. He uses athleticism but

1241
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: buy time. Two or three times a game he'll take

1242
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: off and run on a couple of key third downs.

1243
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: He just looks very poised. He does not he you know,

1244
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: compared to Herbert, Like if you went to the driving

1245
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: range of quarterbacks, he would not impress you. I mean,

1246
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,919
Speaker 1: because he does not have a huge arm. But man,

1247
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: he just knows where to go at the football and

1248
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: he throws with excellent timing and anticipation. And I think,

1249
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 1: and I Steve, you gosh, Jim Kelly being you know,

1250
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: arguably the toughest quarterback of all time. There's something about

1251
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that have that elite toughness that Burrow has.

1252
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has it as well, that really endears himself

1253
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: to their teammates. And you can see they're really kind

1254
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: of rallying around this kid and playing good football. Oh,

1255
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: there's no question you got a guy like that. They

1256
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: want to play hard for that guy, and we're seeing

1257
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: it here in Buffalo. As you said, DJ, listen, we

1258
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 1: appreciate the time and of course the expertise. Make sure

1259
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: you say hi to our friend to the show, Tom Tlesco.

1260
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,479
Speaker 1: It looks like he's got a winner a QUB there.

1261
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: I will do it. He's the best. I always enjoy

1262
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: coming on with you guys. Man. You guys have a

1263
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: great day. Take care of Jaremnah from NFL Network. Also

1264
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: on the Chargers Radio network, he's their color analysts breaking

1265
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: it down the former QB from Abstinct. The stuff he

1266
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: was saying about toughness, you can tell it's really true.

1267
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, the league does a lot to protect quarterbacks

1268
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: and they don't have to put up with a lot

1269
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: of the physicality that their predecessors and years in ages

1270
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: past did. So when they get a chance to display

1271
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: it and it's there and they shrug it off and

1272
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: they don't make a big deal out of their team.

1273
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: Their teammates do rally around that because their teammates are

1274
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of tough guys too, right, and they don't

1275
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: need their quarterback not you know what I mean not

1276
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: to be and I think it was really it really

1277
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: says something to the problem with that is this. You know,

1278
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: you get this reputation is the toughest quarterback in the league.

1279
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: The problem is the reason you get it is because

1280
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: you're proving it every week because you're getting your head

1281
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: caved in. Yeah, you're getting beat up. Well, eighteen shots

1282
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: at Burrow took the other day trying to fill it,

1283
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: or a couple of weeks ago for the Philly game.

1284
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: That's the problem. You've got to earn the reputation and

1285
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: you only do it by by getting hit on the

1286
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: ground a bunch. That's the unfortunate part of that title.

1287
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: But it does help your team play better. Around you

1288
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: in the low and in the long run, it's maybe

1289
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,439
Speaker 1: the quality most teammates would say they value the most

1290
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 1: in their quarterback. All right, we have to take a break,

1291
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: but when we come back more x's and os as,

1292
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: we'll have NFL Films Greg co Sell with us. Time

1293
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: for him to make his weekly visit. He'll break down

1294
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: this Titans Bills game, which won't be taking place on

1295
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Sunday as it looks, but we'll still break it down anyway.

1296
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: Greg co Sell coming up next year on One Bills Live,

1297
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: presented by Collid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio,

1298
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, One Bills Live a Friday, a

1299
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: deer just about ready to begin the second half of

1300
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: the program, and we're gonna do that with our weekly

1301
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: visitor from NFL Films and also ESPN's NFL Matchup show,

1302
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: The One the Only Great co Sell. Greg. How you doing, guy, Chris?

1303
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: What's going on? My man? We're doing all right, We're

1304
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna play football. We're doing okay. Well, we hope we are,

1305
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: at least here in Buffalo. They're hoping that the Bills

1306
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: get this game off. We know what the rescheduling plan

1307
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: is Obviously they're gonna have to wait on the Titans

1308
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: to see what they're testing looks like tomorrow and through

1309
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: the weekend. But yeah, So the most interesting thing for

1310
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: me with this game, though, Greg, is the availability of

1311
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: the players on their COVID nineteen IR list. I mean,

1312
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 1: it's been so long that some of these guys are

1313
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna be able to come off of the COVID nineteen

1314
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: I list. I mean, it's funny you say that because

1315
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: one of the things I was thinking, if we just

1316
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: want to start talking all about football, is we know

1317
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: how important ten personnel is to the I think they

1318
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: average about fifteen snaps per game through the first four

1319
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: weeks of playing with four wide receivers. And I know

1320
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: Christian Fulton is on the COVID list for the Titans.

1321
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Titans are in a situation

1322
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: now where you know they might be looking at you

1323
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: and I to play corner, Chris. If that's not a

1324
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: good idea, that's not a good idea, like your height.

1325
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: My my bigger question concerns the Titans too, because I'm sure,

1326
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: as you know, about thirty four percent of their offensive

1327
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 1: plays they've got at least two tight ends. On the field,

1328
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: they play a good deal at twelve personnel. They play

1329
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: a good deal of um twenty tell thirteen, they're in

1330
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: thirteen person one. Yes, that's right, he's on the list.

1331
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: So my question is how much might that compromise their

1332
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,640
Speaker 1: personnel usage or they just plug another tight end in

1333
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 1: and say, go, well, that was the whole plan, you know,

1334
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: for the league with sixteen on your practice squad. So

1335
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 1: I don't know who the other players are. I'm just

1336
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: being honest, but Pruitt is a really importan and part

1337
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: of what they do, even though he's not a statistics guy,

1338
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: because he lines up both that tight end and as

1339
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: a straight eye formation fullback, because both through it and

1340
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: blasting game line up as fullbacks. But prue it is

1341
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: a really important part of the entire structure of their offense.

1342
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: Who has of their first three games, who has done

1343
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: the best job against the Titans? And why was their

1344
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: defense a little bit more successful? I know they've won

1345
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: all three games, but who, by the skin of their team, right,

1346
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: who's done the best job against the Titans? And why? Well,

1347
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: let me enter it this way, because I can't remember

1348
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: that specifically. I feel like the Titans haven't played in

1349
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: about six months, so it's hard to remember that detail.

1350
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: But the Titans are a very defined profile offense. There's

1351
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: no mystery to what they do, and that's why Chris's

1352
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: points are really interesting. One about who they're going to

1353
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: line up, but I because they haven't been able to practice,

1354
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: it's not as if they're going to change who they are.

1355
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: So they're a team that lines up in base personnel,

1356
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: they run the ball, they go the play action pass game.

1357
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: They have basically two distinct forms of play action. One

1358
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: is what we might call the bang play action, where

1359
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: it's the quick play action with it with either an

1360
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: elongated three step drop or a quick five step drop

1361
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: and you hit in breaking routes. They're very, very good

1362
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: at that. The other is their shot play play action,

1363
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: where it's obviously deeper drops and you push the ball

1364
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: down the field. Um they Aj Brown, who was injured

1365
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: before this all happened. It was not COVID or related.

1366
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 1: He was just injured A. J. Brown, Calif Raymond. They're

1367
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: usually on the receiving end of those deeper shots, but

1368
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: they're very defined when when when you prepare to play

1369
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: them as a defense, there's no mystery, you know, what

1370
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 1: you have to stop right with respect to um Well,

1371
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: seeing it's interesting because you mentioned Blossom game, that's another

1372
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: guy who's on their COVID list too. I don't know

1373
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna have in there to block of Prude and Blossom. Yea, yeah,

1374
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: so he went on the COVID list October fourth, and

1375
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 1: then as we know, Prud went on just yesterday. So

1376
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 1: is it gonna be interesting to see who they do yesterday.

1377
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: He's absolutely not playing right, so it's gonna be interesting

1378
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,919
Speaker 1: to see who they deploy there. You mentioned it already,

1379
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: the play action and Josh and Tannehill have both been

1380
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: very productive out of play action. I think they're in

1381
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: the top both of them are in the top four

1382
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: in passing yards off of play action, and it looks

1383
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: like it's completely taken the league by storm. And we've

1384
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: talked about why it's so popular because no matter what,

1385
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: even if you're not a good running team, you can

1386
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: get linebackers to bite and then there's space behind them.

1387
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: But for the Titans, I would imagine with as much

1388
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: as they run on first and ten that they really

1389
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: can get people to sell out to stop the run.

1390
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: With that guy they got in the backfield. Well, I

1391
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: think that, and you know, Steve knows this just I mean,

1392
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: this is just football. They don't have to establish the run.

1393
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: Their runs already established, right, because this is what they

1394
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 1: are running. Teams don't have to come out and establish

1395
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: the run in a given game because when you prepare

1396
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 1: to play Tennessee, and Sean could tell you this, Leslie Frazier,

1397
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: who's been doing this for a you know, a long time,

1398
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: you know how, you have to defend what they do.

1399
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter what Derrick Henry does on his

1400
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: first four or five carries. That's irrelevant. He could have

1401
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 1: four carries for five yards, and you're still defending their

1402
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 1: run based on their personnel, their formations, and their overall

1403
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: philosophical approach. So they don't have to establish it in

1404
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: the game in which they're playing. So obviously, Sean, Leslie

1405
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: and the entire defensive staff knows this, and you structure

1406
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:31,799
Speaker 1: what you do defensively accordingly. What do you think if

1407
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: indeed this game happens and the Titans aren't able to

1408
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: even get into their facility, It's kind of unprecedented. And

1409
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:44,759
Speaker 1: it's been my take all week. They've got every excuse

1410
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: in the world, why they don't need to win this game,

1411
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,599
Speaker 1: or can't win this game, or won't win this game.

1412
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: And to me, and I've seen it happen before with

1413
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 1: the Bills when they've gotten snowed out and they had

1414
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: to move a game from Buffalo into Detroit, the attitude

1415
01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,759
Speaker 1: of the team completely changes and they got nothing to lose.

1416
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: They become even more dangerous when they haven't practiced than

1417
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: they do when they've had a normal run up to

1418
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 1: their to their game. Have you seen that to be

1419
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: the case in some of these games? Well experience, I think,

1420
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, you make an interesting point because obviously everybody

1421
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: has been ripping the Titans a new you know what,

1422
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I'm sure the guys that have

1423
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 1: not had COVID and want to get out there and

1424
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: play because they want to feed their families. Those guys

1425
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: are going to be out there with a chip on

1426
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: their shoulder. And you know, attitude in football, Steve, as

1427
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: you well know, can carry you. You know, maybe it

1428
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: doesn't carry you for a full sixty minutes, but it

1429
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: certainly can carry you through enough of a game. So

1430
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday night, if this game is indeed played, I would

1431
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: expect the players on the field for Tennessee will be

1432
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 1: playing with an awful out of energy and they're a

1433
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:50,759
Speaker 1: good football team. I mean, obviously they're gonna be missing

1434
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: some very important pieces. I know Corey Davis just when

1435
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: on the COVID list, so he certainly couldn't play, but

1436
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 1: the guys out there will, They'll be going at it

1437
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:05,640
Speaker 1: pretty good. Greg. Just with respect to Tannehill, you know,

1438
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: Steve and I saw probably the worst part of his

1439
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: career in this division when he was playing for Miami,

1440
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 1: and there were a whole host of reasons given why

1441
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: he didn't realize his potential when he was in this division.

1442
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: But he goes to Tennessee. We all know the story.

1443
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: He steps in for Mariota last year, and Steve and

1444
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 1: I are looking at it from the vantage point of, oh,

1445
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: he kind of caught lightning in a bottle, had a

1446
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: nice finish, and we weren't convinced he was going to

1447
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: be able to carry that into this year, But he

1448
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: in fact has. What do you think has been the

1449
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 1: secret to him resurrecting his career in Tennessee. Well, here's

1450
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: my sense of Tannehill, and this was my sense from

1451
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 1: film in Miami and also talking to coaches when he

1452
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:51,440
Speaker 1: was in Miami and now versus his time in Tennessee.

1453
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: I think he's a very good thrower of the football. Okay,

1454
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 1: so you start there. But I think he's a guy

1455
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: that needs things well defined for him. In other words,

1456
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's a great progression guy. And

1457
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: I think this bore out a little bit in Miami.

1458
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: I think that when you run an offense where things

1459
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: get defined, which by the way, is the case more

1460
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 1: so when your offense is built on the run game

1461
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 1: and the play action game, because you know predominantly what

1462
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: you're going to get from the defense, the defense becomes

1463
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: more predictable, particularly normal down in distant situations. I think

1464
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: this is where he has an opportunity to thrive and

1465
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: be successful. And I think that's what's happened in Tennessee because,

1466
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: as I said, he can throw the ball. It's not

1467
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: as if he's a poor armed thrower. It's just that

1468
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: I think he needs the reads to be defined and

1469
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: then he can Then he'll turn a loose and he

1470
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: can be very effective. Well. One of the things about

1471
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: this game for the Buffalo Bills is that injuries have

1472
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 1: started to rear their heads. Matt Milano with a peck

1473
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: injury is week to week. Got tell us how he

1474
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: changes the defense. I know we've seen it before when

1475
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: he was out. Tell us what that does to the

1476
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: Bill's defense and const only is of course, to the

1477
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee offense. Well, you know, Steve, I've been singing praises

1478
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 1: for two years before anybody other than you know, Boston

1479
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: College alumni and people up in your area knew who

1480
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: he was. I think he's a really good linebacker, and

1481
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good sub nickel linebacker. He's athletic,

1482
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: he's explosive, he can cover tight ends. So I think

1483
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: in today's NFL he brings an awful lot. Now, I

1484
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: know last week when he got hurt, Dotson came in

1485
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 1: for him. To me, he's a totally different kind of player.

1486
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: Whether he's good or bad, it's not my point. Stylistically,

1487
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 1: he's not a great athlete. He's not going to cover

1488
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: tight ends. I don't believe. I think they might have

1489
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 1: to make an adjustment there. So I just think it

1490
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: changes some of the things that they would like to

1491
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: be able to do. Now, Sean and Leslie probably have

1492
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: an answer, and maybe they would tell me I'm wrong,

1493
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: but I just think Milano is really gives this defense

1494
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: an awful lot. I think Milano and Edmunds and this

1495
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 1: is a dominant sub nickel team. They don't play that

1496
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: many snaps of dying with sixtybs, but I think they

1497
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 1: are as a duo, they're as good a nickel linebacking

1498
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: duo as there is in the league. With respect to

1499
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:18,759
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defense, Greg, we see the defensive lines slowly rounding

1500
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 1: into form here. We saw them take a step forward

1501
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: last week against the Raiders. Yes, do you feel like

1502
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 1: now with four games in, it's almost as if all

1503
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 1: of these defenses around the league, who have been kind

1504
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: of caught with their pants down with these you know,

1505
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 1: footballs flying through the air and scoring touchdowns at will,

1506
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: that these giant offensive numbers may start to travel back

1507
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: towards the mean a little bit. As these defenses are

1508
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 1: now accustomed to tackling people every week, which they didn't

1509
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: really get an opportunity to do in the preseason. You know,

1510
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: these tackling techniques effectiveness on defense that it'll maybe trim

1511
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: back the point scoring a little bit. Yes, because the

1512
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 1: other thing I've noticed on tape is really poor zone coverage, communication,

1513
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,799
Speaker 1: and that's something that needs reps and reps and reps,

1514
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: and you didn't have the offseason reps. So there's a

1515
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: lot of teams when I watched tape that they're just

1516
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 1: because there's always gray areas and zones. You know, otherwise

1517
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 1: everybody would play the same zone if there was one

1518
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: zone that stopped everything. There's always gray areas in zones

1519
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 1: that good offensive coordinators try to exploit. I mean, it

1520
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: was a perfect example all that, just to speak about it,

1521
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: not from the Bills defense perspective, but from what they

1522
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: did to UMU the Rams. It was the Rams game

1523
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: and I did a piece on this at the end

1524
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: of the first half when he hits Beasley on that

1525
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: twenty nine yarder down to what like the four or

1526
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: five yard line. You guys remember that play, Yeah, yeah,

1527
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,040
Speaker 1: he went down the side. The perfect example. The two

1528
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: quarters coverage cover four and there's a lot of gray

1529
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,839
Speaker 1: area with both the flat defender, the corner, the safety

1530
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: to that side. You know, there's all kinds of gray

1531
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 1: area in zones and communication and is critical, and I

1532
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: think teams have struggled in his own coverage because the

1533
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 1: communication there just haven't been enough reps. Did you get

1534
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:11,759
Speaker 1: a chance to see these Raiders game and Josh Norman's

1535
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: performance in it? He was kind of thrust in it

1536
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: was his first game in the uniform, and how did

1537
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: you think he played and what kind of effect impact

1538
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 1: will he have on this defense in your opinion? Well,

1539
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'm in the minority, but I like

1540
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace, So you know, I don't know what his

1541
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: status is, and I don't know how the coaching staff

1542
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: used that position, whether they now see Josh as the

1543
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: guy is is Levi Wallace? You know they put him

1544
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: on IR this week, Greg because he left with an

1545
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: ankle injury. Yeah, okay, so Josh is gonna play. You know,

1546
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you I didn't. He didn't stand out

1547
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: to me one way or the other. I mean, you

1548
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 1: know the way they played that game. You know, White

1549
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 1: was the boundary corner, Norman was the field corner. Obviously

1550
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: the fumble, you know, play is a big play and

1551
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: you know everybody loves that which we're seeing that play

1552
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: right now. So that was a big play, no question.

1553
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:05,080
Speaker 1: But as far as coverage, I didn't and I'm just

1554
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 1: being honest, I didn't study him on every play and

1555
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 1: he to me, he didn't stand out as good or bad.

1556
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 1: You know, he was he was out there. I'll study

1557
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: him more now that he's clearly going to play for

1558
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: at least IRS at least three weeks, right correct, Yeah,

1559
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 1: So so, I mean he's clearly barring a hopefully he

1560
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: doesn't get injured, but barring any injury to him, he's

1561
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: going to be the corner opposite White. Um. But uh,

1562
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 1: and he's and look, Sean knows him. You know, they

1563
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: were together in um in Carolina. So we'll see. You know,

1564
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: he was a great player at one point, has had

1565
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,799
Speaker 1: some struggling moments. Uh, you know later in his career.

1566
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: We'll see if he can be rejuvenated under Sean. We've

1567
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,560
Speaker 1: got the Patriots who may or may not be shorthanded

1568
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 1: again when they have to play the Broncos and which

1569
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: which is now on Monday night. That game was moved. Also,

1570
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: the Bills are keeping well. Bills fans are keeping a

1571
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:00,680
Speaker 1: close watch on them because right now the Bills have

1572
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: a two game edge on the Patriots after they're loss

1573
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs last week. Without Cam Newton in the lineup,

1574
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to have Gilmore in the lineup

1575
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: on Monday night. So when you look at that matchup,

1576
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: I know the Broncos aren't lighting the world on fire

1577
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: on offense. But Rippin kind of showed me a few things,

1578
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 1: uh last week when he had to play for you know,

1579
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 1: in place of Drew Lock and whoever else is there.

1580
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 1: So just your thoughts on Ripping and where he can

1581
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: probably take that that Denver offense at least for the

1582
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,640
Speaker 1: interim here. Yeah, you know, it's funny you say that

1583
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 1: because I'm also hearing you know, Drew Lock could be

1584
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: ready to see okay and I and and that he

1585
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: may or may not be. I mean it's still only Friday,

1586
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: and because the game has been moved to Monday, he's

1587
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 1: got an extra day. Yeah, but obviously locks their starter

1588
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,600
Speaker 1: when he's healthy. Um, you know, I think Ripping is

1589
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,559
Speaker 1: one of those guys that, uh, you know, he kind

1590
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: of reminds me of. He reminds me of a Nick

1591
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: Mullins type player. Okay, I think the kind of guy

1592
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: that he can step in. He perfect back. I think

1593
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,639
Speaker 1: that they'll be games where it's it doesn't go quite

1594
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,839
Speaker 1: so well. I think he'll be a function of system

1595
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: and scheme. But they lost Courtland Sutland, which of course

1596
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: is to me it really tough because I thought before

1597
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,600
Speaker 1: the season, looking at Drew Locke being the quarterback, I

1598
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:22,680
Speaker 1: thought they had a fascinating mix of receivers because they

1599
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: had Sutton who would have been their big boundary X,

1600
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, who's a classic Z with movement, kJ Hammler

1601
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 1: who they draft in the second round, who was your

1602
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: classic slot. And then Noah fan who's a really athletic

1603
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: tight end who can run vertically. So it hasn't quite

1604
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 1: worked out because the quarterback situation has been in total flux. Right,

1605
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: what about the quarterback situation in Buffalo. You've watched this

1606
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: this team play four games and it was a surprise.

1607
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: I gotta tell we were all surprised in the first

1608
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,600
Speaker 1: three two or three weeks, and now it seems it

1609
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 1: seems to be real. And now you're getting everybody who says,

1610
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 1: you know who who thought he was great. There's a

1611
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen apology for him floating around on social media

1612
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: for people to eat crow with their greg right, so

1613
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: you know and work. You know, so Josh Allen's I've

1614
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: got this Josh Allen effect going around. What do you

1615
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 1: think the top end is for him and are they

1616
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: going to keep this going? Well, I think the top

1617
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: end is very, very high because he's incredibly gifted. He's

1618
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: physically imposing, he's got a ridiculous arm. I mean, I

1619
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to stand next to him throwing a

1620
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 1: ball at the combine both a workout the night before

1621
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks worked out, and then the day the quarterbacks

1622
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: worked out, because I'm fortunate enough to be on the

1623
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: field at the combine on the Dome floor, so I've

1624
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: stood right next to Josh Allen and watched him throw

1625
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: a ball, and I mean, not many can throw it

1626
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen. I think you just live with the

1627
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: factor I do anyway that you know, maybe's lower body mechanics,

1628
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 1: maybe never will be great. That might just be the

1629
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 1: way he throws it. But he's become clearly more accurate

1630
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 1: this year. The question is does he revert to any

1631
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: of some of those bad We don't know the answer

1632
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: to that. All we have is these first four games,

1633
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: and he's been really, really good. He's made some really

1634
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: good throws, um you know, every once in a while,

1635
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,719
Speaker 1: even some completions. We're looking at the long ball to digs,

1636
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: and again, I always view it as the role of

1637
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: a coach to nitpick like that was not a great throw,

1638
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 1: even though it was caught like that ball should have

1639
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,719
Speaker 1: been further across across the field. And I know people

1640
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: in Buffalo listening might say, oh, you know, you don't

1641
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: like Josh all and you know a coach should say

1642
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 1: that too, by the way, and go over it. But overall,

1643
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: he's played really, really good football. He's not missed the

1644
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:37,679
Speaker 1: easy throws, which he certainly did its first two years.

1645
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 1: And you know, I love what Brian Dable does. I

1646
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: think it's a really good mix. This is a vertical

1647
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: and intermediate and vertical passing game with a lot of

1648
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 1: their concepts, and that's I think that's Josh's mindset. He

1649
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: wants to push the ball down the field. All right, Greg,

1650
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 1: we are at a time, But what might be your

1651
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: featured segment this week on NFL Matchup? Dude, which game

1652
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: are you guys picking? Well, you know, we did a

1653
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: couple of interesting things. We did kind of a defensive

1654
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: section with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs

1655
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: because Steve Spagno has done a great job in Kansas

1656
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: City We did a quarterback section this week on the

1657
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 1: young Guns, Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow, and then we

1658
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 1: also looked at the Minnesota Seattle game because you know,

1659
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,719
Speaker 1: Minnesota is one of those defined teams how they play.

1660
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: We obviously were going to do Tennessee and Buffalo because

1661
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: it's four and oh versus three and oh. But by

1662
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: the time you know, we had to get all our

1663
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,599
Speaker 1: stuff together, we just didn't know, and definitely we still

1664
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: don't know, so we just had to take that game

1665
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: out of our show, which probably would have been our

1666
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 1: featured game. Yeah right, all right, Greg, Well we'll look

1667
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: for it. We'll look for that show anyway, because I'd

1668
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 1: like to see the Seattle Minnesota. But I hope, I hope.

1669

1672
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 1: if the Bills do come out of this with a

1673
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: victory and the Chiefs hold serve that I think five

1674
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: and it might be a pretty big game. I think

1675
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: that might draw some eyeballs, So that might make our show.

01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,920

1733
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 1: I heard it and it was awesome. So it was

1734
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 1: great to hear an insider's perspective of what was going on.

1735
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:22,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, you're a master storyteller. I was

1736
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:27,760
Speaker 1: literally hanging on everyone. Look at that. There you go?

1737

Speaker 1: All right? Well, thank you what else you got, Mark,

1738

1739
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 1: boy is talking out loud anyway. So I was at

1740
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: a Sabers game, probably when I was like thirteen or fourteen,

1741
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 1: and I saw you in the odd It was around

1742
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: the NHL All Star fan balloting, and I happened to

1743
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: have one of them in my hand and I were

1744
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,639
Speaker 1: almost ran India. You must have been injured because when

1745
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 1: you broke your arm, because you had your cast on

1746
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: and you were rushing to get back. I think the

1747
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 1: period was ending, and I'm like, hey, mister Tasker, would

1748

Speaker 1: a kid, what's your name? And like said Mark, and

1750
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 1: you signed it and then you you know, you quickly

01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: signed it and it was awesome. So we look at that.

1754
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:28,679
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad I didn't say get away from me, kid,

Speaker 1: with their pets. I know, people's dogs have kind of

1763
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 1: run into the room and right, you know, chewing on

1792
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 1: Tasker getting ready for our number three. You're on one

1793
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,679
Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo

1794
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:33,519
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Hello, Bills Radio Network. Sports Update, your sports

1795
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 1: update for One Bill's Drive. It's official. Pending no more

1796
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:39,679
Speaker 1: positive tests out of Tennessee, the Bills Week five matchup

1797
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: with the Titans has been rescheduled for seven pm on Tuesday.

1798
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: This follows a COVID nineteen outbreak within the Titans organization,

1799
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,840
Speaker 1: which has now forced the NFL to move the game.

1800
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:54,599
Speaker 1: The ripple effect could now push the Bills Chiefs game

1801
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:58,960
Speaker 1: in Week six into the weekend. All these moves, of course,

1802
01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 1: hinge on their no more positive tests, which was the

1803
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 1: case this morning as the Titans reported no new positive

1804
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 1: cases from their round of Thursday testing which came in

1805
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:12,439
Speaker 1: this morning. So did the Patriots, who will now play

1806
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 1: their game against the Broncos originally scheduled for Sunday on Monday,

1807
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 1: and I believe the start time is five pm. With

1808
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,719
Speaker 1: the game being moved for the Bills, they canceled practice today.

1809
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:26,800
Speaker 1: Will keep an eye over the weekend to see if

1810
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 1: Tradavious White returns to action. He missed the last two

1811
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 1: days with a back injury. Also, wide receiver John Brown

1812
01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:35,720
Speaker 1: left Thursday's practice with a nagging calf injury. We'll have

1813
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 1: updates all weekend and when we return to the air

1814
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:42,240
Speaker 1: on Monday. The Jets the latest team to have a

1815
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:46,679
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen concern. Multiple reports say the Jets have received

1816
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,280
Speaker 1: a positive test result for one of their players. It's

1817
01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 1: being called a presumptive positive for now as they work

1818
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 1: to corroborate the results. Of that first test. The player

1819
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:58,160
Speaker 1: involved is currently being retested to determine if it's a

1820
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 1: false positive. Nick Fole first starred for the Bears, and

1821
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 1: he pulls out another win against Tom Brady. The Bears

1822
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:07,759
Speaker 1: defeated the Bucks twenty to nineteen last night NBA Finals.

1823
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 1: The Lakers looking to secure their first NBA championship in

1824
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 1: over a decade in tonight's Game five. They currently lead

1825
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:16,080
Speaker 1: the Heat three games to one. First tip set for

1826
01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:19,120
Speaker 1: nine PM. One game in Major League Baseball playoffs, Yankees

1827
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 1: and Rays a deciding game five tonight is that series

1828
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: is nod at a two. The winner advances to the

1829
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:28,120
Speaker 1: Alcs to face the Houston Astros. And some sad news

1830
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 1: as the chairman of the board, Whitey Ford, has passed away.

1831
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 1: The Yankees legendary pitcher died earlier this morning at the

1832
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:39,560
Speaker 1: age of ninety one after a long battle with dementia.

1833
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 1: A six time World Series champ, and sadly Steve He

1834
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 1: is the fifth Hall of Famer to die this year,

1835
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 1: joining Al Kayline, lou Brock, Tom sever and Bob Gibson,

1836
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 1: who just died a few days ago. Twenty twenty is awful.

1837
01:35:57,479 --> 01:36:02,080
Speaker 1: It's the big skeleton in a black hood with a

1838
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 1: scythe Yeah, it's horrible. I don't like it too bad.

1839
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I will all rest in peace. Whitey Ford, Yeah, chairman

1840
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,160
Speaker 1: of the board, Whitey Ford. Heck of a pitcher. Guy

1841
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: was a gamer um and not a huge guy either,

1842
01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, not one of these tall stalwarts that would

1843
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: just command the mound and intimidate people. He just he

1844
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,720
Speaker 1: was just a good pitcher, dude, really good. He was

1845
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 1: a gamer. I mean he was there. He was their

1846
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: ace for like six World Series title teams. And I

1847
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:31,680
Speaker 1: mean that's back when the Yankees were going to the

1848
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 1: World Series like every other year and sometimes every single year,

1849
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 1: which is still why to this day there's so many

1850
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 1: people across the country who hate the Yankees because they

1851
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:45,840
Speaker 1: were always winning. And where it might be different is

1852
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 1: this season, because if the Yankees win tonight and advanced

1853
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 1: to the American League Championship Series, it might be the

1854
01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:55,640
Speaker 1: only playoff series where the majority of the country is

1855
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: rooting for the Yankees. Why, because they're playing the cheaters

1856
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 1: the ash. Are they still playing baseball this year? Yeah?

1857
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 1: Is that it going on right now? It shouldn't be,

1858
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:08,639
Speaker 1: but they are playing. You want to talk about four

1859
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:10,719
Speaker 1: feet in a season the Astros should have been banned

1860
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: from baseball in twenty that's one. I can't believe the

1861
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 1: slap on the wrist that got biggest joke going. All right,

1862

Speaker 1: Bills Live. So too is the football Crisis Hotline, where

1869
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:40,880

Speaker 1: five fifty. So where we will begin is we will

1873

Speaker 1: do the phones first, and waiting for us there is

1874
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:57,559
Speaker 1: Tom in fort Erie. Tom, thanks for joining us. What

1875
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 1: do you have, sir Brownie? You've been a good addition

1876
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 1: so far this year to one Build Live. It's nice.

1877
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:09,439
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you. Basically, what I'm what I'm

1878
01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:12,720
Speaker 1: curious about is is there any chance if this game

1879
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe gets out of hand? You know who knows what

1880
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 1: kind of team the Titans are going to be fielding

1881
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. If we're up, is there any chance they

1882
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,720
Speaker 1: might sit some players, maybe even you know, say we're

1883
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 1: up at thirty at the half, to say, I know

1884
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself, yeah, but you know, or

1885
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 1: maybe even somebody that's kind of injured, has been nursing

1886
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury. Perhaps you might get that. Tom, you

1887
01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:34,320
Speaker 1: might get that for like one or two guys, But

1888
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: there's nobody else to put in. I mean, you only

1889
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 1: got enough guys to play. Really, I'm only dressing forty

1890
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 1: eight if you have eight linemen, right, and it given

1891
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 1: the fact that this has been a team that has

1892
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 1: coughed up at twenty five point lead once this year already,

1893
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 1: you better be up by fifty before you before they

1894
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: start sitting people down. So yeah, you might get a

1895
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:57,000
Speaker 1: guy like that, where if say, for instance, if if

1896
01:38:57,160 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 1: Matt Milano found his way onto the field with his

1897
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 1: pack injury and I got up big, and they may

1898
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: give him a chance to sit down and not push

1899
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: it too far or something of that nature. But I'm

1900
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 1: telling you right now, it's not going to get to

1901
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 1: that point in this game. The Titans are going to

1902
01:39:09,960 --> 01:39:13,880
Speaker 1: play very well in this game. That's my call. They're

1903
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: going to play really, really well, and the Bills are

1904
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: going to have their hands full of this game. If

1905
01:39:17,920 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 1: this is the game they play on Tuesday, I think

1906
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:21,639
Speaker 1: the Titans are gonna show up, and they're gonna show

1907
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:23,840
Speaker 1: up big. All Right. We do have to get to

1908
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 1: the obl Friday fan mail bag, and we lead off

1909
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 1: with Rick, who asks if the Bills should lose Brian

1910
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 1: Dable to a head coaching position with another team at

1911
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 1: the end of the season, who might you see as

1912
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:38,439
Speaker 1: candidates to replace him. I think Sean McDermott and Brandon

1913
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: Bean would look to fill the position from within the

1914
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 1: current coaching staff, But do you think they go outside.

1915
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 1: I think they would do a thorough search around the league.

1916
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 1: If I think Ken Dorsey is a guy that would

1917
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: be a consideration, But this is a team that is

1918
01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:02,600
Speaker 1: a perenni playoff team now, I think they would be

1919
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 1: looking for someone with a major play calling resume, don't

1920
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:10,560
Speaker 1: you yes? And I think given the atmosphere of the

1921
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:12,960
Speaker 1: National Football League finds itself in now, with this head

1922
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 1: coach and this staff and this general manager, they already

1923
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:20,559
Speaker 1: have a short list. They already have a short list,

1924
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:23,600
Speaker 1: and I'll imagine they do that for Leslie Frazier to

1925
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 1: a defensive short list. These guys don't get caught without

1926
01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: being prepared. So I would say yes, and I would

1927
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:35,559
Speaker 1: probably say they've discussed it with Brian Dable. They listen

1928
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 1: Dave's if you were finalists for the Cleveland job, but

1929
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: right interview for the Cleveland job, who do you like

1930
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:44,639
Speaker 1: as offensive you know that kind of thing, or who

1931
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 1: you gonna hire as your offensive coordinator because you know

1932
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:50,280
Speaker 1: we're looking, you know, we're gonna have to replace you

1933
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 1: help us out, you know. And he would, you know,

1934
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,680
Speaker 1: and given his spot as a coordinator here, yea, he

1935
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:56,720
Speaker 1: would have some ideas he was He's got a long

1936
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:58,720
Speaker 1: resume as well, he's been around coaching for a long time.

1937
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: He'd do the same thing. So that's yes, they will

1938
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:06,920
Speaker 1: do a thorough search, but I'm sure that that search

1939
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 1: has already been narrowed to a list of people from Anthony.

1940
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 1: He says, because Allen can both throw and run well,

1941
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:18,400
Speaker 1: what types of offensive plays indoor schemes might be most effective?

1942
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:21,599
Speaker 1: If the Titans decide to play one defensive player as

1943
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 1: a spy on Allen. I think what you've seen in

1944
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:26,719
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks is a lot less running

1945
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 1: by Josh Allen. Coach. Dable isn't even putting in designed

1946
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 1: runs right now. I don't think they called back and

1947
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: throw it. They might have called no. I don't know

1948
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:36,679
Speaker 1: if they called any against the Raiders. They did called

1949
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:40,120
Speaker 1: maybe a handful. Obviously, quarterback sneaks and stuff they did

1950
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: against those quarterbacks sweeps. We haven't seen those since week two. Right,

1951
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: you did him. They did him against the Rams when

1952
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 1: he spun out and came down in so I saw

1953
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 1: I remember a colling the red zone in the red zone, Yes,

1954
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 1: the red zones really the place where he becomes an

1955
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:59,000
Speaker 1: absolute horror show for defensive coordinators because he can run

1956
01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:00,680
Speaker 1: the ball. Anytime you can get in the red zone

1957
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 1: and run the ball. That's the kryptonite of any good defense, right.

1958
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: And the reason the reason why it's so effective running

1959
01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:12,480
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks sweeps is because it renders the spy ineffective.

1960
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:14,559
Speaker 1: The spy can't get to him if you've got three

1961
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 1: linemen in front of him coming around a tight end

1962
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 1: and two linemen coming around the formation, and you know

1963
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:21,120
Speaker 1: you've got three hundred pound guys coming at you with

1964
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:23,080
Speaker 1: a two hundred and thirty eight pound quarterback with a

1965
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:25,240
Speaker 1: head of steam right in best of luck if they

1966
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: if they do put a spy on Josh, it's one

1967
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 1: or less guy that's in coverage. They won't do that

1968
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the time. They'll do it in

1969
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,800
Speaker 1: situations where on a certain down and distance where they

1970
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 1: feel vulnerable, or whether where they don't feel vulnerable, whether

1971
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: it's a third and very long or maybe a third

1972
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:43,439
Speaker 1: and very short, where they know if he steps up

1973
01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:45,400
Speaker 1: and runs, all he has to do is take a

1974
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:47,559
Speaker 1: couple of steps and fall forward. It's a first down

1975
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 1: that may be the type of place where you see

1976
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 1: a spy, or maybe it's a third medium where you

1977
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: don't have a chance to come up if you're the

1978
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:58,040
Speaker 1: spy and tackle him. So they won't do it all

1979
01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:00,240
Speaker 1: the time, even if they do spy, and it does

1980
01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 1: have its own problems. That guy's kind of standing around

1981
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 1: in the middle, kind of mirroring Josh Allen. He's not

1982
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:08,960
Speaker 1: covering anybody but Josh Allen, but he's not tackling him. Yeah,

1983
01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 1: he's not coming up the field. He's not rushing the

1984
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 1: past or he's just watching him. And that's a guy

1985
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 1: that's not covering digs Beasley, Brown or Davis or Knox.

1986
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of guys just rushing four and

1987
01:43:24,040 --> 01:43:27,639
Speaker 1: you got a fifth, and you've got a fifth spy.

1988
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 1: There's six guys to cover all those guys I just mentioned,

1989
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,799
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna get open. Yeah, And I think the passing

1990
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:39,479
Speaker 1: game has become so prolific that I don't think they

1991
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:43,439
Speaker 1: feel a spy is worth deploying. Yeah, because Josh is

1992
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:46,519
Speaker 1: beating you over the top so much you can't afford

1993
01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: to commit a coverage player to Josh and not cover anybody. Now,

1994
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:54,799
Speaker 1: they may do the spy thing a little bit, but only,

1995
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,320
Speaker 1: like I said, only in certain situations where they feel

1996
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 1: like that gives them a chance to get out of

1997
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: get off the field on third down. This one from Steve.

1998
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 1: What happens if Tuesday morning comes game day and Tennessee

1999
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:08,680
Speaker 1: gets a positive test result back do the Bills then

2000
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:11,040
Speaker 1: only have two days to get ready for the Chiefs. No,

2001
01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:15,120
Speaker 1: the league would not do that to the Bills at

2002
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 1: that point in time. I think if we get through

2003
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:23,799
Speaker 1: tomorrow and there's still no positives from the Titans, then

2004
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,559
Speaker 1: it's probably all systems go. Now. If you get a

2005
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:29,800
Speaker 1: positive tomorrow from the Titans and they still can't get

2006
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:33,799
Speaker 1: in their facility, I think that's I think what happened.

2007
01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:36,639
Speaker 1: I think then yes, you could still have the game

2008
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Which is why Steve and I firmly believe

2009
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:44,599
Speaker 1: that the reason there is no practice by the Bills

2010
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:46,639
Speaker 1: today is because because the coaching staff has to get

2011
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 1: a game plan together for the Chiefs in the event

2012
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 1: that they still have to play them on Thursday. That's

2013
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:55,439
Speaker 1: what they're working on today. Bet your bottom dollar on that.

2014
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,559
Speaker 1: With respect to I guess the question here is what

2015
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:02,879
Speaker 1: is the point of no return right for the Chiefs

2016
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 1: game moving from Thursday from Thursday? And I think it's

2017
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,759
Speaker 1: gotta be Sunday, right, Sunday's got to be the drop

2018
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 1: dead date for the game. So if it gets to

2019
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 1: a point, I mean as early as tomorrow, if there's

2020
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 1: a positive tomorrow, it's off. I think you got to

2021
01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 1: reschedule the Titans game. Right, It can't be Tuesday. Here's

2022
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 1: the thing, because he kept to make Sunday has to

2023
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:28,800
Speaker 1: be the drop dead day because the Bills are going

2024
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 1: to get on a plane on Monday. Yeah, and then

2025
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,520
Speaker 1: on a plane. You don't want them traveling they gay

2026
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 1: and then come back with no game. That's yeah, that's

2027
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 1: a waste of effort. And drop dead dates gotta be Sunday.

2028
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,040
Speaker 1: Drop dead date's got to be Sunday night. As to

2029
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:46,640
Speaker 1: whether or not it's going to be Thursday or on

2030
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 1: the weekends. If the Titans too, and listen, if the

2031
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:54,960
Speaker 1: Titans can keep it virus free for today like they were,

2032
01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 1: they were clean yesterday. Correct, the testing from yesterday came

2033
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,720
Speaker 1: in this morning, no new positive, right, so if they

2034
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 1: had one new positive yesterday from thursdays Wednesday, Wednesday, So

2035
01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 1: if they're if they're clean Thursday clean, Friday clean, Saturday,

2036
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: and they can stay clean Sunday, a Monday positive would

2037
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:18,400
Speaker 1: probably just they would be able to separate and sequester

2038
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:20,479
Speaker 1: the guy that was positive. Everybody else will be fine

2039
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:22,600
Speaker 1: and they'll go play the game. But that's also the

2040
01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: case time. That's also the yeah, on Monday, when everybody's

2041
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, if it's all the old systems are already

2042
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:32,719
Speaker 1: rolling the prot But anyway, if you get to that point,

2043
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:37,920
Speaker 1: because they should be if they're doing them, if they're

2044
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: doing them, if they're doing the protocols right, anybody who

2045
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:45,720
Speaker 1: comes in and test positive should never have come in

2046
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:52,280
Speaker 1: contact with anybody else anyway. So yeah, but they you know,

2047
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 1: they haven't done it right yet. So I think the

2048
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:58,600
Speaker 1: thing to note here is they have to make a

2049
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:03,840
Speaker 1: decision definitively by Sunday as to when the Chiefs game

2050
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:07,320
Speaker 1: is being played. So I think you get to Sunday

2051
01:47:07,320 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 1: with no new positives, it's all systems go, and then

2052
01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 1: if somebody turns up positive, as Steve said on Monday,

2053
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:15,439
Speaker 1: you hopefully can just pull them out of the pack.

2054
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 1: It could be. I think the drop dead thing is

2055
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 1: the Sunday tests, and they get those back eighteen hours

2056
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 1: after they take them Sunday morning. Because the Titans and

2057
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 1: Bills will get tested Sunday, most other teams will not

2058
01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:29,599
Speaker 1: get tested well because actually Sunday, well no, they change that.

2059
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 1: They're testing teams on game days now too. They just

2060
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 1: changed that this week. I think in light of this outbreak,

2061
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,080
Speaker 1: they're trying to close all of those loopholes because remember

2062
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:40,160
Speaker 1: we were saying that last week, Steve, why the heck

2063
01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 1: are they not testing on game day two? Why are

2064
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,120
Speaker 1: you leaving that open day so that test will be

2065
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 1: available like one am on Monday morning, right after midnight.

2066
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:51,160
Speaker 1: That's when it all comes out. So that's right. Then

2067
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: if everybody's clean, then it's all systems go, and the

2068
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:59,160
Speaker 1: game's happening on Tuesday. So and then on Tuesday when

2069
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:02,280
Speaker 1: everybody gets tested, you know, or the if the test

2070
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:05,840
Speaker 1: results come out on Tuesday morning at one am, yeah, yeah,

2071
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 1: then then that's the it's gonna It's still not set

2072
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:12,599
Speaker 1: in stone. This, This is not a short mass. This

2073
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:14,920
Speaker 1: is not a sure thing. All right. Look, it's time

2074
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:18,679
Speaker 1: to go to the Football Crisis Hotline, and we're going

2075
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 1: online first because we don't have any calls yet at

2076
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 1: eight three five fifty. If you have a football crisis,

2077
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:28,799
Speaker 1: it is time to call now eight three five fifty.

2078
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 1: If you find that your football life is interfering with

2079
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:35,560
Speaker 1: your love life or vice versa, and it's being compromised,

2080
01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:37,840
Speaker 1: Steve and I are here to help. The first one

2081
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:41,560
Speaker 1: actually comes from Marty Barrant at one Bills Live. He

2082
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 1: tweeted us and said in all caps with three exclamation points,

2083
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 1: soup is not a meal. He is referring to our

2084
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:51,479
Speaker 1: promo for the Football Crisis Hotline. When I took a

2085
01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: phone call from a worried person who was concerned that

2086
01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:59,640
Speaker 1: their significant other was making soup as a as a

2087
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:03,080
Speaker 1: game watching meal, which is dangerous in so many ways.

2088
01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 1: I can't even explain it. And what I basically told

2089
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 1: them was, soup is not a game meal at all,

2090
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:11,320
Speaker 1: because of all the bad things that can go wrong.

2091
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:13,440
Speaker 1: First of all, you're eating in your living room, presumably

2092
01:49:13,439 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 1: watching the game. Something goes wrong in the game, somebody

2093
01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 1: pounds their fist on the coffee table, that soup is airborne,

2094
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:20,840
Speaker 1: and best of luck to your furniture and rugs. So

2095
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:23,639
Speaker 1: that's why it's a bad idea. Number one. Number two,

2096
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:27,120
Speaker 1: soup is not something you can eat leisurely over the

2097
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:29,240
Speaker 1: course of a three hour game. It's going to be

2098
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 1: cold in fifteen minutes, hard to graze soup. It's terrible.

2099
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,680
Speaker 1: So it's a terrible idea all the way around. So

2100
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:39,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with Marty Moore. Second one comes from Steve.

2101
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 1: So Steve also sent visual aids for us. But Steve says,

2102
01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:49,920
Speaker 1: I live in Tennessee and my wife is unfortunately a

2103
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:52,160
Speaker 1: Titans fan. Now we already know this is going to

2104
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 1: be He says, crisis in all caps with an exclamation point.

2105
01:49:57,560 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 1: I am trying to stay away from her because this

2106
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 1: entire situation, meaning the COVID situation with the Titans, has

2107
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,560
Speaker 1: pissed me off and I don't want to get in

2108
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,960
Speaker 1: an argument. It's amazing how Titans media and fans are

2109
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:15,479
Speaker 1: defending the team. I can't keep my mouth shut. Please help.

2110
01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 1: And here is his Here is his flag that he

2111
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 1: hangs out for an MSG viewers. It is a split

2112
01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:25,839
Speaker 1: flag with the words house divided diagonally from one corner

2113
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 1: to the other, with the Bill's logo on the top

2114
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:31,720
Speaker 1: and the Titans logo on the bottom. And this is

2115
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:34,519
Speaker 1: this is a pickle here, and it's multilayered because in

2116
01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 1: this COVID situation, the COVID situation obviously gives you the

2117
01:50:38,120 --> 01:50:41,880
Speaker 1: advantage in the relationship because you and I think you

2118
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:45,040
Speaker 1: have to seize that relationship, that advantage because this is

2119
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 1: there's no retort for your team cheated and well they

2120
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:55,559
Speaker 1: they operated the football preparation outside of the COVID protocol.

2121
01:50:55,760 --> 01:51:00,000
Speaker 1: Your team could be responsible for single handedly ruining everybody

2122
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 1: football season. And you've got it's your responsibility. You got

2123
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:05,559
Speaker 1: to live with. I mean, I pile out, I pile

2124
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 1: on heavy on that one, because yeah, it's not, it's not.

2125
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:13,599
Speaker 1: It's not like you're you're making it up, and you know,

2126
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:17,120
Speaker 1: you just point to the yes and that and that

2127
01:51:17,240 --> 01:51:19,559
Speaker 1: is where you have the advantage here, Steve, because yes,

2128
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 1: you are an enemy territory living in Tennessee, but you

2129
01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:27,719
Speaker 1: have the facts on your side, and the facts are these.

2130
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 1: The team illegally practiced outside of COVID protocols away from

2131
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:34,559
Speaker 1: the facility after it was closed down because of the

2132
01:51:34,600 --> 01:51:38,439
Speaker 1: COVID outbreak. They lengthen the timeline of people in the

2133
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:41,280
Speaker 1: organization shedding the virus, which for all we know, could

2134
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:44,040
Speaker 1: still be happening more than two weeks after it was

2135
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 1: an injury initially reported with the first test. On top

2136
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:51,520
Speaker 1: of that, they're under investigation for improper mask wearing inside

2137
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:54,760
Speaker 1: the facility. These are all things that have been reported.

2138
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:58,599
Speaker 1: It's this is not opinion. So I think you stick

2139
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 1: to the facts, Steve, and there is no argument, no

2140
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:06,679
Speaker 1: argument whatsoever. You win game, set match, and I think

2141
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:09,920
Speaker 1: because of that you get the prime seating location in

2142
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:12,559
Speaker 1: your home to watch this game. And I'll tell you

2143
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: this too. Your tone, you don't have to be a

2144
01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 1: like you know, you don't have to be an you

2145
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:19,000
Speaker 1: don't have to be that tone. Very I think you

2146
01:52:19,040 --> 01:52:21,600
Speaker 1: need to be calm, cool and collected and very methodical,

2147
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 1: and you need to be the adult in the room. Yeah,

2148
01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:28,759
Speaker 1: and that's these These are the facts, honey. I'm sorry

2149
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:32,080
Speaker 1: that exactly. These are the facts. You can you can,

2150
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:35,000
Speaker 1: you interpret them however you wish, but the facts to

2151
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:38,879
Speaker 1: yell and scream the truth, just say it. Yeah. Another

2152
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:43,600
Speaker 1: one on the Football Crisis Hotline tweet sheet from Dennis.

2153
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 1: He said, I'm a Bills, a big Bills fan, and

2154
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:49,679
Speaker 1: sometimes family members will come over and say, we want

2155
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:52,000
Speaker 1: to watch the game with you. It's a lot of fun,

2156
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:55,880
Speaker 1: but in reality they have no interest in football, looking

2157
01:52:55,920 --> 01:53:00,519
Speaker 1: at their phones, talking about shopping, etc. And I can't

2158
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:05,880
Speaker 1: enjoy the game. What should I do now? It gets

2159
01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:08,519
Speaker 1: difficult when it's family, because you don't want to shun

2160
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:11,200
Speaker 1: your family and tell them leave me the hell alone.

2161
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:13,479
Speaker 1: I just want to watch the game. But if it

2162
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:18,960
Speaker 1: gets to the point where it is ruining your viewing experience,

2163
01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:21,760
Speaker 1: you do have to put your foot down. Yeah you do,

2164
01:53:21,840 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 1: and you got and I think you got to start

2165
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:25,920
Speaker 1: early and say listen, that's but you got to give

2166
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:30,000
Speaker 1: them examples of their transgressions and say you can't do that.

2167
01:53:30,080 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 1: I can't watch the game. I don't want you. I

2168
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about shopping or any of that stuff.

2169
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:35,960
Speaker 1: And there's a there's a bucket in the kitchen where

2170
01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:39,320
Speaker 1: you can leave your phone. Yeah, that kind of thing.

2171
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:41,880
Speaker 1: So like these lay down ground rules like hey, yes,

2172
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:44,920
Speaker 1: love to have you over, love to see you, love

2173
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:46,880
Speaker 1: to have you take the game in with me. But

2174
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,280
Speaker 1: we're in my house. And this is how it works

2175
01:53:49,360 --> 01:53:52,000
Speaker 1: here right now. If you're set up for it. Yeah,

2176
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:53,880
Speaker 1: if you're set up for it and they're going to

2177
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:57,320
Speaker 1: do that, have them come over, it's great. But when

2178
01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,080
Speaker 1: they get in there, your chair, you'd be sitting in

2179
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:01,320
Speaker 1: your chair watching the game, and all the other furniture

2180
01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:03,439
Speaker 1: except your chair and the TV or left have left

2181
01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 1: the room. You got to empty the room. So if

2182
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:06,839
Speaker 1: they want to watch it, you gotta sell the floor

2183
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 1: or they got to go into another room. Yeah. I

2184
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 1: just think if you come up with reasonable ground rules,

2185
01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:17,760
Speaker 1: I think they will. They should respect that. Dennis. I mean,

2186
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, whether you want to say, hey, I understand

2187
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:24,120
Speaker 1: everybody's glued to their phones these days, but if you

2188
01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 1: want to be part of the viewing experience here. Let's

2189
01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,080
Speaker 1: hold off on the phones until a commercial is another

2190
01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:30,640
Speaker 1: thing too, and you can pick up a phone in

2191
01:54:30,640 --> 01:54:33,520
Speaker 1: a commercial break like six times an hour with football,

2192
01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 1: there's another tone. I like to use this technique as well.

2193
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:39,120
Speaker 1: If you let them come in, let them do their thing.

2194
01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:44,520
Speaker 1: If they start talking, turn the TV up a little.

2195
01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:48,800
Speaker 1: If they start talking again, you turn it up way

2196
01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 1: more and you leave it there even during the commercials,

2197
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 1: and when they start talking, you turn it all the

2198
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:55,840
Speaker 1: way and by this time nobody can hear anything except

2199
01:54:55,880 --> 01:54:58,400
Speaker 1: the phone, and you'll your point will get across. You

2200
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:00,480
Speaker 1: don't have to say anything. So they're a tuber of

2201
01:55:00,520 --> 01:55:03,040
Speaker 1: ways to it. Every time they transgress, turn the TV

2202
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:05,320
Speaker 1: up a little more, and about halfway through the second

2203
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 1: quarter they'll get the message you can turn it back

2204
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:12,640
Speaker 1: down to normal. Yeah. So those are the entries for

2205
01:55:12,680 --> 01:55:15,640
Speaker 1: the Football Crisis Hotline, which works online just as well

2206
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:17,160
Speaker 1: as it does on the phone at eight oh three

2207
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 1: five fifty. So we're happy that we were able to

2208
01:55:19,600 --> 01:55:22,520
Speaker 1: help some of you this week. Uh that that builds

2209
01:55:22,520 --> 01:55:26,240
Speaker 1: fan in Tennessee though he's he's got a he's got

2210
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:28,960
Speaker 1: a tough weekend here, Yeah, or it's week day. I

2211
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:31,240
Speaker 1: should say maybe it's better that it's on a week

2212
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:34,520
Speaker 1: day for him. Um, maybe, yeah, I'm telling you it's

2213
01:55:35,160 --> 01:55:37,640
Speaker 1: that's a rough that's a rough wound. And he said

2214
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:40,280
Speaker 1: he's shocked at how many and I get it, fans

2215
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:42,240
Speaker 1: are trying to spin it positive or all of that.

2216
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how they think

2217
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:49,040
Speaker 1: anybody's picking on them. Well, I think they have come

2218
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:53,880
Speaker 1: under fire from fans around the league, presumably because they're

2219
01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:56,480
Speaker 1: thinking that the Titans are going to ruin everybody's season.

2220
01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:59,320
Speaker 1: They've already made life more difficult for the Ravens and

2221
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:02,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers. They're about to make life more difficult for

2222
01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:05,760
Speaker 1: the Bills, and who knows where it goes from there.

2223
01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see. But I've got it. We

2224
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:13,040
Speaker 1: heard the irate fans on our air this week, Steve Man,

2225
01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:16,560
Speaker 1: how dare the Titans doing screw up the entire season

2226
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:19,400
Speaker 1: by being irresponsible? They were hot, and the reason they're

2227
01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:21,040
Speaker 1: hot is because the Bills are off to a four

2228
01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:25,520
Speaker 1: and oh start. Everything's going swimmingly and this looks like

2229
01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:28,000
Speaker 1: a wrench in the works, you know what I mean? Yeah,

2230
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 1: I could go on, Yeah, I'm not gonna we gotta

2231
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:32,200
Speaker 1: take a break, but you can go down the list.

2232
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:39,920
Speaker 1: They the attitude that their actions have displayed behind this

2233
01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:44,600
Speaker 1: has been one that they were not taking the protocols

2234
01:56:44,640 --> 01:56:48,760
Speaker 1: seriously enough. And it's Bittenham. Yeah, that's where this whole

2235
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:51,480
Speaker 1: thing goes to. Now, they got they weren't wearing their

2236
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:55,760
Speaker 1: masks in the building, the coaching staff or the players have.

2237
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,240
Speaker 1: It's been so lax over there that they say, well,

2238
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:00,000
Speaker 1: if we can't go there, let's just go over here

2239
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:01,640
Speaker 1: and do it over here, even though we were told

2240
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:04,360
Speaker 1: we can't do that over there. The whole attitude of

2241
01:57:04,400 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: the entire organization, from the team, from the players all

2242
01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:10,320
Speaker 1: the way up through just reeks of they don't care

2243
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:14,520
Speaker 1: about these protocols. Yeah, so that's where we are. You

2244
01:57:14,560 --> 01:57:16,280
Speaker 1: get what you get, all right. We have to take

2245
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:18,920
Speaker 1: a break, But when we return, Maddie Glab will check

2246
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:21,800
Speaker 1: in with what's going on down in Nashville as she

2247
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:25,880
Speaker 1: talks to a Titans beat reporter with her weekly sit

2248
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 1: down with the opponent's team reporter, and she will do

2249
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:33,040
Speaker 1: that next here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health,

2250
01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:46,560
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown Steve tasks your

2251
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 1: final half hour of the program in time now to

2252
01:57:49,560 --> 01:57:52,919
Speaker 1: get another sense of what's going on with the Titans

2253
01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 1: over the course of the last week plus. And here

2254
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 1: to get answers on that is our multimedia reporter Maddie

2255
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:03,800
Speaker 1: glab who got in touch with Titans beat reporter Amy Well,

2256
01:58:03,960 --> 01:58:07,640
Speaker 1: so here they are breaking down the Titans. Amy, thanks

2257
01:58:07,640 --> 01:58:09,720
Speaker 1: for being with us today. We appreciate the time. We

2258
01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:12,880
Speaker 1: know the last two weeks now has been just a

2259
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:17,520
Speaker 1: roller coaster for the Titans, for the NFL as a hole,

2260
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:19,920
Speaker 1: and now the Bill's just trying to figure out, you know,

2261
01:58:19,960 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 1: when is this game going to be played? We learned

2262
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 1: that yesterday it's moved to Tuesday per no more positive

2263
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:29,840
Speaker 1: tests from the Titans, so we hope it can stay

2264
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:32,520
Speaker 1: on Tuesday and we can get this game in without

2265
01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 1: pushing it even further. Of course, the Steelers game was

2266
01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:39,480
Speaker 1: postponed last week due to that COVID outbreak at the

2267
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:43,360
Speaker 1: Titans facility with players and personnel. You guys move virtual

2268
01:58:44,040 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 1: a while ago, it seems now like, but what has

2269
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:49,640
Speaker 1: life been like for you as someone who works for

2270
01:58:49,680 --> 01:58:52,240
Speaker 1: the team and has kind of been thrown into this

2271
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:56,520
Speaker 1: roller coaster with everybody moving back home to work and

2272
01:58:57,360 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 1: everything really getting shut down for the last two weeks. Yeah,

2273
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 1: I feel very fortunate that I already had a home

2274
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:06,760
Speaker 1: studio set up, so we've been able to do a

2275
01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 1: lot of things remote. Honestly, for someone like me, it

2276
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:12,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been too much of a difference. We've been doing

2277
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:16,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things in kind of remote situations anyway,

2278
01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 1: just to be extra cautious and keep everyone safe. These

2279
01:59:20,320 --> 01:59:22,920
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks have been nuts. It's been very

2280
01:59:23,080 --> 01:59:26,160
Speaker 1: strange to wake up every morning and have your first

2281
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:28,960
Speaker 1: thought beat, I need to check and see the health

2282
01:59:29,040 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 1: status of this team. Like It's just not something that

2283
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:34,760
Speaker 1: any of us are used to first and foremost. I mean,

2284
01:59:35,440 --> 01:59:37,600
Speaker 1: we want to make sure that the players and the

2285
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:40,240
Speaker 1: staff and their families who are struggling with this and

2286
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:43,440
Speaker 1: who have contracted this illness are getting better and are

2287
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:46,160
Speaker 1: given all the resources that they need and the time

2288
01:59:46,200 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: that they need to really heal. That's the first priority

2289
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:53,040
Speaker 1: for this football team, like far and away, making sure

2290
01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:56,160
Speaker 1: that everybody is safe and their families are safe. But

2291
01:59:56,240 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of adjustments and everyone has just

2292
01:59:59,120 --> 02:00:02,160
Speaker 1: kind of had to be very willing to go with

2293
02:00:02,240 --> 02:00:05,640
Speaker 1: the flow and be incredibly flexible and we're just making

2294
02:00:05,720 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 1: changes as they come. You know, there's no roadmap for

2295
02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:11,560
Speaker 1: any of this, And I mean Mike Rabel has said

2296
02:00:11,600 --> 02:00:14,800
Speaker 1: time and time again, this is a pandemic, like if

2297
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:17,600
Speaker 1: these are the things that happen in a global pandemic,

2298
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:22,240
Speaker 1: And so it's just trying to adjust to whatever comes

2299
02:00:22,280 --> 02:00:25,680
Speaker 1: our way and just taking the steps to keep things

2300
02:00:25,760 --> 02:00:28,640
Speaker 1: as normal and consistent as possible so that people can

2301
02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:30,960
Speaker 1: heal and they can also prepare for the games that

2302
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:34,680
Speaker 1: are upcoming, hopefully playing the Bills on Tuesday. Yeah. Our

2303
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:37,480
Speaker 1: head coach Sean mcdarret, his message to the team all

2304
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 1: season has been expect the unexpected, and I think we're

2305
02:00:40,280 --> 02:00:43,520
Speaker 1: seeing the unexpected to happen here in the early part

2306
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:46,480
Speaker 1: of the season. I think we all wish that we

2307
02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:48,800
Speaker 1: don't want any team to experience an outbreak. We don't

2308
02:00:48,800 --> 02:00:51,360
Speaker 1: want any team to have positive tests. We want everybody

2309
02:00:51,360 --> 02:00:53,680
Speaker 1: to stay healthy through this. And Stefon Diggs, one of

2310
02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:56,880
Speaker 1: our wide receivers, was like, no, I'm not frustrated about

2311
02:00:56,880 --> 02:00:59,920
Speaker 1: this situation. Like, let's remember that this is a pandemic

2312
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:03,240
Speaker 1: and this isn't just NFL's problem. This is the world's problem.

2313
02:01:03,240 --> 02:01:06,240
Speaker 1: And I don't want anybody to get sick or you know,

2314
02:01:06,640 --> 02:01:10,000
Speaker 1: die from this. I want everybody to be healthy. So

2315
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:14,360
Speaker 1: with that and with the Titans and Rabel's message that

2316
02:01:14,400 --> 02:01:17,320
Speaker 1: you said, what has been the vibe from coach Rabel?

2317
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:19,520
Speaker 1: I know you guys probably haven't talked to him in

2318
02:01:19,600 --> 02:01:23,520
Speaker 1: some time. With everybody kind of being at home, virtual

2319
02:01:23,880 --> 02:01:27,240
Speaker 1: no practices, you really haven't heard from players or coaches

2320
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 1: as of late. But you know what has that message

2321
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:33,480
Speaker 1: been to the team from the last time that you

2322
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:37,200
Speaker 1: guys spoke to coach Coach Rabel? You know, the message

2323
02:01:37,200 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 1: has kind of been control what you can control, Be

2324
02:01:40,560 --> 02:01:43,480
Speaker 1: sure that you are able to prepare the way you

2325
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:45,360
Speaker 1: need to. You can keep your body right, you can

2326
02:01:45,400 --> 02:01:48,920
Speaker 1: keep yourself healthy, like that's all you can do. Everything

2327
02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:51,720
Speaker 1: else is going to happen. This team has seen a

2328
02:01:51,720 --> 02:01:56,440
Speaker 1: lot of kind of changes and fluidity through the last

2329
02:01:56,520 --> 02:02:00,560
Speaker 1: couple weeks, and so I think that has really been

2330
02:02:00,680 --> 02:02:03,080
Speaker 1: the message. Just stay focused on what you need to do,

2331
02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 1: stay focused on the things that you can actually control,

2332
02:02:06,920 --> 02:02:09,360
Speaker 1: and everything else is going to happen. And that's really

2333
02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:12,160
Speaker 1: been his message all season though, is just controlling the

2334
02:02:12,160 --> 02:02:14,520
Speaker 1: things that are in your power to control. I mean,

2335
02:02:14,880 --> 02:02:16,240
Speaker 1: we all knew that there were going to be some

2336
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:19,840
Speaker 1: crazy things, and Goalie, when teams reported for training camp,

2337
02:02:20,240 --> 02:02:24,840
Speaker 1: the whole world look completely different to them. So it's

2338
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:27,480
Speaker 1: not a new message. It's just a continuation of the

2339
02:02:27,480 --> 02:02:30,160
Speaker 1: message that he's been telling this team all season. All

2340
02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:33,560
Speaker 1: all right, Amy, Let's get to the game, the matchup.

2341
02:02:33,920 --> 02:02:36,240
Speaker 1: The Times and the Bills have become so familiar with

2342
02:02:36,280 --> 02:02:38,520
Speaker 1: playing each other. This is the third time they face

2343
02:02:38,560 --> 02:02:41,520
Speaker 1: each other in the last three years, and the games

2344
02:02:41,520 --> 02:02:44,120
Speaker 1: have been decided by very few points in each of

2345
02:02:44,160 --> 02:02:46,840
Speaker 1: the last two matchups. So you would expect this game

2346
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:49,320
Speaker 1: to be a really good one as well, especially with

2347
02:02:49,360 --> 02:02:53,040
Speaker 1: the Titans having a really hot finish to last year,

2348
02:02:53,520 --> 02:02:57,320
Speaker 1: blazing through the NFL with Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry

2349
02:02:57,600 --> 02:03:00,360
Speaker 1: catching fire, and then going into this season, you guys

2350
02:03:00,360 --> 02:03:02,880
Speaker 1: are three and OZ to start the season. The Bills

2351
02:03:02,880 --> 02:03:07,160
Speaker 1: are four and no. Two of six remaining undefeated teams.

2352
02:03:07,200 --> 02:03:10,160
Speaker 1: You lead the AFC South, We lead the AFC East.

2353
02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:13,120
Speaker 1: What has been the key factor for the Titans getting

2354
02:03:13,160 --> 02:03:16,800
Speaker 1: to three no to start the season. You know, I

2355
02:03:16,840 --> 02:03:20,560
Speaker 1: think it's consistency, and I think it's resiliency. Consistency in

2356
02:03:20,600 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 1: the stance that there's a lot of the same pieces

2357
02:03:23,120 --> 02:03:25,360
Speaker 1: that we saw in twenty nineteen on this team again

2358
02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:28,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty nine, out of the ten starters on

2359
02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:32,560
Speaker 1: offense are returning from twenty nineteen as starters. The tenth one,

2360
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly, was still on the team, so everybody is

2361
02:03:35,880 --> 02:03:40,640
Speaker 1: very familiar with each other. Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator,

2362
02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:43,320
Speaker 1: is back and he's in his second season, so he's

2363
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:45,680
Speaker 1: got his legs under him a little bit. On the

2364
02:03:45,720 --> 02:03:48,680
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, it's very similar story, a

2365
02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:52,480
Speaker 1: lot of the same parts. Mike Rabel took over as

2366
02:03:53,200 --> 02:03:56,960
Speaker 1: having a bigger role within the defense, which isn't really

2367
02:03:57,000 --> 02:03:59,920
Speaker 1: anything new. He's always been a defensive hands on coach.

2368
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:03,560
Speaker 1: So having a lot of that consistency gave the Titans

2369
02:04:03,560 --> 02:04:05,400
Speaker 1: a chance to really build on what we saw in

2370
02:04:05,440 --> 02:04:08,800
Speaker 1: the second half of twenty nineteen and really come into

2371
02:04:08,840 --> 02:04:11,720
Speaker 1: training camp and the offseason program, even though it was

2372
02:04:11,760 --> 02:04:15,680
Speaker 1: a little strange, come into those roles, and really build

2373
02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:18,240
Speaker 1: on a foundation that they had already had set. So

2374
02:04:18,280 --> 02:04:21,320
Speaker 1: what we're seeing now is just a continuation of that,

2375
02:04:21,640 --> 02:04:23,800
Speaker 1: and they're able to expand a little bit on some

2376
02:04:23,840 --> 02:04:26,400
Speaker 1: of the success that they have before. And then this

2377
02:04:26,480 --> 02:04:28,840
Speaker 1: is a resilient team. This is a team that has

2378
02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:31,680
Speaker 1: confidence that what they are able to do, and that

2379
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:35,040
Speaker 1: their style of football works and they're able to win games,

2380
02:04:35,040 --> 02:04:37,280
Speaker 1: and that if they just hang in there together, even

2381
02:04:37,320 --> 02:04:40,480
Speaker 1: if a couple plays, a couple series aren't going their way,

2382
02:04:40,880 --> 02:04:43,320
Speaker 1: they can make the adjustments and they can come out

2383
02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:47,240
Speaker 1: on top. I think that all three of the first

2384
02:04:47,320 --> 02:04:51,200
Speaker 1: games of twenty twenty have given Titans fans some collective

2385
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:56,200
Speaker 1: heart issues. There have been a lot of close moments,

2386
02:04:56,760 --> 02:05:00,360
Speaker 1: but I think that that's the character of this team,

2387
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:02,600
Speaker 1: is that no matter what, they're going to fight until

2388
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 1: the very very last second. And I think that that

2389
02:05:07,120 --> 02:05:10,680
Speaker 1: shows up in this team specifically as part of their character,

2390
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:13,800
Speaker 1: and that's part of what makes them so successful. One

2391
02:05:13,800 --> 02:05:17,360
Speaker 1: of those players who makes the Titans super successful is

2392
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:21,360
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I mean, he finished last season unlike a

2393
02:05:21,400 --> 02:05:24,560
Speaker 1: lot of running backs could ever finish a season, with

2394
02:05:24,600 --> 02:05:27,480
Speaker 1: the stretching games that he had, averaging so many rushing

2395
02:05:27,520 --> 02:05:30,360
Speaker 1: yards a game. He's off to that same start this

2396
02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:34,760
Speaker 1: year with three nineteen through three weeks of play through

2397
02:05:34,840 --> 02:05:38,760
Speaker 1: three games, fourth in the NFL right now, even though

2398
02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:41,120
Speaker 1: you guys didn't play last week, I think that says

2399
02:05:41,120 --> 02:05:43,800
Speaker 1: a lot about him as a running back, and he's

2400
02:05:43,800 --> 02:05:46,680
Speaker 1: had like twenty five carries at least a game, which

2401
02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:51,120
Speaker 1: is absolutely insane for someone touching the ball that much.

2402
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:54,360
Speaker 1: But have you noticed anything different about his game this

2403
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:58,400
Speaker 1: year compared to last year. I think there's a confidence

2404
02:05:58,440 --> 02:06:00,520
Speaker 1: there that we're seeing, especially in the early part of

2405
02:06:00,520 --> 02:06:02,520
Speaker 1: the season, that we didn't see in the early part

2406
02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:06,240
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. People kind of forget that last year

2407
02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:09,080
Speaker 1: at the start of the season, Derrick Henry wasn't playing

2408
02:06:09,200 --> 02:06:11,120
Speaker 1: very well and he was having a really hard time

2409
02:06:11,240 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 1: kind of getting something started. At around the bye week,

2410
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 1: the midpoint of the season, he really kind of reassessed

2411
02:06:18,440 --> 02:06:20,120
Speaker 1: his game as a whole, the way that he was

2412
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:23,960
Speaker 1: playing his mentors Eddie George. He really leans into Eddie

2413
02:06:23,960 --> 02:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and his advice and guidance a little bit, and he

2414
02:06:27,080 --> 02:06:29,600
Speaker 1: was able to flip a switch and have an awesome

2415
02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:32,040
Speaker 1: end to the twenty nineteen season. This year, we're seeing

2416
02:06:32,120 --> 02:06:36,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more confidence and maturity in that. Even

2417
02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:38,320
Speaker 1: if he's not breaking away the big runs, which we

2418
02:06:38,360 --> 02:06:41,400
Speaker 1: really haven't seen him do yet, he's okay with the

2419
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:44,680
Speaker 1: grind and the process of it and the consistency that

2420
02:06:44,720 --> 02:06:46,520
Speaker 1: if we just keep hitting it and hitting it and

2421
02:06:46,600 --> 02:06:49,960
Speaker 1: hitting it, eventually he's going to make the numbers that

2422
02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:53,240
Speaker 1: he's used to seeing, and those numbers translate to wins

2423
02:06:53,280 --> 02:06:56,680
Speaker 1: on the field. So that is kind of what we're seeing.

2424
02:06:56,720 --> 02:06:59,280
Speaker 1: It's not the frustration, it's not the trying to make

2425
02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:02,280
Speaker 1: something happen that's not there. It's more of a steady

2426
02:07:02,640 --> 02:07:07,280
Speaker 1: slow burn from Derrick Henry and everybody knows and he

2427
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:10,440
Speaker 1: knows that the run game is an important part of

2428
02:07:10,480 --> 02:07:13,040
Speaker 1: this offense. The run game is something that this team

2429
02:07:13,080 --> 02:07:17,080
Speaker 1: is going to stay committed to, excuse me, and as

2430
02:07:17,200 --> 02:07:21,800
Speaker 1: they continue to play, the big runs will come. Yes,

2431
02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:23,920
Speaker 1: speaking of those big runs, I think the Bills and

2432
02:07:23,960 --> 02:07:26,600
Speaker 1: the Titans are one of few teams or two of

2433
02:07:27,040 --> 02:07:29,600
Speaker 1: few teams left in the NFL that haven't broken off

2434
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:33,480
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard run play talking about running backs yet,

2435
02:07:33,480 --> 02:07:35,680
Speaker 1: So we'll see if that comes for either of us

2436
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:39,400
Speaker 1: in this game. Now, the receiving side of the offense,

2437
02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:42,320
Speaker 1: it seems like you guys had a j Brown last

2438
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:45,280
Speaker 1: year who broke off a one thousand receiving yard season

2439
02:07:45,680 --> 02:07:47,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie, and this year it seems like the

2440
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:51,160
Speaker 1: ball is being spread kind of all around the receiving

2441
02:07:51,240 --> 02:07:54,640
Speaker 1: core this season. So is there an underrated receiver that

2442
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:58,400
Speaker 1: the Bills should look out for in this game. I've

2443
02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:02,400
Speaker 1: been I've had a favorite for a while, and it's

2444
02:08:02,480 --> 02:08:06,080
Speaker 1: Calif Raymond. He was kind of on and off the

2445
02:08:06,120 --> 02:08:09,160
Speaker 1: practice squad in twenty nineteen, went through training camp, he

2446
02:08:09,240 --> 02:08:11,840
Speaker 1: had some big flashes, some big moments, and then training

2447
02:08:11,840 --> 02:08:14,480
Speaker 1: camp in twenty twenty, he just kind of came in

2448
02:08:14,520 --> 02:08:18,440
Speaker 1: as this confident receiver. He's not very big, he's very

2449
02:08:18,520 --> 02:08:21,839
Speaker 1: very fast, and he has become some this deep threat

2450
02:08:21,920 --> 02:08:25,520
Speaker 1: player for the Titans offense, and he I just think

2451
02:08:25,560 --> 02:08:27,680
Speaker 1: he's so fun to watch. I think he's such a

2452
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:32,920
Speaker 1: cool guy, and he's always my secret weapon for the

2453
02:08:32,920 --> 02:08:36,400
Speaker 1: Titans offense because we've seen him make some huge catches

2454
02:08:36,680 --> 02:08:40,360
Speaker 1: and some real splash plays when nobody really expects that

2455
02:08:40,440 --> 02:08:42,760
Speaker 1: to happen. But I think that the other thing that's

2456
02:08:42,800 --> 02:08:45,600
Speaker 1: really interesting about the Titans offense this year is that

2457
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:49,320
Speaker 1: the tight ends are getting so involved in the receiving effort.

2458
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:53,760
Speaker 1: A guy like John U. Smith specifically, who is a

2459
02:08:53,880 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 1: big guy and is known for being a good blocker.

2460
02:08:56,440 --> 02:08:59,280
Speaker 1: He's also got some really good hands and he has

2461
02:08:59,320 --> 02:09:02,200
Speaker 1: been a huge part of the Titans receiving effort, and

2462
02:09:02,280 --> 02:09:06,160
Speaker 1: most of the Titans touchdowns have come from tight ends.

2463
02:09:06,680 --> 02:09:09,360
Speaker 1: So being able to get a lot of different position

2464
02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:13,200
Speaker 1: groups involved in that aspect of the game really gives

2465
02:09:13,200 --> 02:09:15,400
Speaker 1: this offense a lot of variety, and it gives Ryan

2466
02:09:15,480 --> 02:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Tannehill a lot of different ways that he can make plays.

2467
02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:22,080
Speaker 1: And options are always a quarterback's best friend. Yeah, I

2468
02:09:22,080 --> 02:09:24,040
Speaker 1: think a tight end is such an important part of

2469
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:26,760
Speaker 1: an offense. I think that can really be your secret weapon.

2470
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:30,240
Speaker 1: John U. Smith has three touchdowns through three games, so yeah,

2471
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:33,920
Speaker 1: totally getting him involved in that offense. Now, Amy, over

2472
02:09:33,960 --> 02:09:37,880
Speaker 1: the last two weeks definitely been a weird time for everybody,

2473
02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:41,520
Speaker 1: So being in this situation, being involved with the team

2474
02:09:41,520 --> 02:09:45,240
Speaker 1: who has experienced an outbreak during the season. What have

2475
02:09:45,320 --> 02:09:48,560
Speaker 1: you learned through this time? Was something you've reminded yourself

2476
02:09:48,600 --> 02:09:53,120
Speaker 1: of through this time? I think it's just to stay fluid, like,

2477
02:09:53,720 --> 02:09:55,920
Speaker 1: keep your head on this level, keep your knees bent,

2478
02:09:56,360 --> 02:10:00,120
Speaker 1: and just be ready for anything. You know, there's not

2479
02:10:00,160 --> 02:10:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot that we can do to control the situation.

2480
02:10:02,200 --> 02:10:05,680
Speaker 1: No matter whether it's support staff like me, or players

2481
02:10:05,760 --> 02:10:08,800
Speaker 1: or coaches. Everyone can just control what they can control.

2482
02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Do the best that they can and just be ready

2483
02:10:12,320 --> 02:10:14,720
Speaker 1: for football when it comes back, because it will come back.

2484
02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:18,080
Speaker 1: We are going to play these games, and man, it's

2485
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:20,960
Speaker 1: gonna be fun once we do. So fingers crossed that

2486
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:23,360
Speaker 1: we're playing on Tuesday. We can't wait to host the

2487
02:10:23,400 --> 02:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Bills at Nissan Stadium, and I'm ready for football. I'm

2488
02:10:27,280 --> 02:10:30,400
Speaker 1: jones in a little bit. Well, hopefully there's no more

2489
02:10:30,440 --> 02:10:33,120
Speaker 1: positive tests to come out of the Titans. We hope

2490
02:10:33,160 --> 02:10:36,760
Speaker 1: this game definitely gets in on Tuesday. We're excited as well,

2491
02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:39,600
Speaker 1: especially because they can have fans in the stands. It'll

2492
02:10:39,640 --> 02:10:42,200
Speaker 1: be the first home game with fans in the stands

2493
02:10:42,360 --> 02:10:45,760
Speaker 1: for the Titans, so it'll be fun to see Nissan

2494
02:10:45,880 --> 02:10:49,360
Speaker 1: Stadium not so much packed with fans, but there'll be

2495
02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:53,240
Speaker 1: some spaced out, socially distanced fans. And of course, being

2496
02:10:53,280 --> 02:10:55,320
Speaker 1: the Bills fan that I am working for the Bills,

2497
02:10:55,360 --> 02:10:56,920
Speaker 1: I hope we do see some blue and Red in

2498
02:10:56,920 --> 02:10:59,800
Speaker 1: those stands as well. So, Amy, thanks for being with

2499
02:10:59,840 --> 02:11:03,000
Speaker 1: us today. We appreciate the time and hope to see

2500
02:11:03,040 --> 02:11:06,760
Speaker 1: you there on Tuesday. Thanks for having me, Maddie. We

2501
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:14,640
Speaker 1: will see you soon, all right. That's Maddie Glab withy well,

2502
02:11:14,840 --> 02:11:18,800
Speaker 1: thank you, Jay, I've misplaced her name over here. Amy Wells,

2503
02:11:18,800 --> 02:11:21,839
Speaker 1: the Titans beat reporter for Titans Do Online dot Com.

2504
02:11:22,280 --> 02:11:25,440
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I mean she's in the thick of it,

2505
02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:28,040
Speaker 1: but she's working from home because the facility has been

2506
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:30,760
Speaker 1: closed in September twenty nine. It's like, bad enough you

2507
02:11:30,760 --> 02:11:33,160
Speaker 1: had to do that all offseason, you know, from we

2508
02:11:33,280 --> 02:11:36,480
Speaker 1: did for five months, but now they're doing it again

2509
02:11:36,520 --> 02:11:39,160
Speaker 1: because of the outbreak. It was interesting too because she's like,

2510
02:11:40,120 --> 02:11:42,120
Speaker 1: no big deal for me, already had the studio set

2511
02:11:42,200 --> 02:11:44,640
Speaker 1: up from the offseason, and here we go, we're back

2512
02:11:44,680 --> 02:11:48,280
Speaker 1: at it. So yeah, good insights there that there's no

2513
02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:51,760
Speaker 1: question that the Titans, and I know that, you know,

2514
02:11:51,880 --> 02:11:54,960
Speaker 1: all of us are kind of you know, throwing darts

2515
02:11:55,000 --> 02:11:57,520
Speaker 1: at him, but those players and coaches they want to

2516
02:11:57,520 --> 02:12:00,640
Speaker 1: play these games as badly as anybody. And I think,

2517
02:12:00,720 --> 02:12:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, there's no question I think there's been some

2518
02:12:03,400 --> 02:12:05,720
Speaker 1: mistakes made inside that building where they you know, they

2519
02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:07,920
Speaker 1: just didn't follow the protocols as well as they should.

2520
02:12:07,920 --> 02:12:11,400
Speaker 1: But you know, hopefully now they've learned their lesson, they're

2521
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:12,800
Speaker 1: going to set it up right the right way and

2522
02:12:12,800 --> 02:12:16,240
Speaker 1: get it done. I don't know, we'll we'll see, But

2523
02:12:16,280 --> 02:12:20,000
Speaker 1: I think I think this is a game that's I've

2524
02:12:20,120 --> 02:12:22,520
Speaker 1: keep saying it, and I'm I really believe it. I

2525
02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:23,920
Speaker 1: think the Titans are going to show up and show

2526
02:12:23,960 --> 02:12:25,440
Speaker 1: up big in this game. The Bills are gonna have

2527
02:12:25,480 --> 02:12:27,640
Speaker 1: their hands full. All Right, we have to take a break,

2528
02:12:27,640 --> 02:12:29,960
Speaker 1: but one more segment when we return, as we find

2529
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:32,360
Speaker 1: out what we have learned from today's show that's coming

2530
02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:34,480
Speaker 1: up next year on One Bill's Live, presented by Collid

2531
02:12:34,480 --> 02:12:51,640
Speaker 1: to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio Time for what

2532
02:12:51,760 --> 02:12:54,480
Speaker 1: have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks, the official

2533
02:12:54,480 --> 02:12:58,280
Speaker 1: construction equipment Rental Company, and the Buffalo Bills. And we

2534
02:12:58,400 --> 02:13:03,520
Speaker 1: had one NFL Network Daniel Jeremiah on the show. Also,

2535
02:13:04,160 --> 02:13:06,440
Speaker 1: you can find his work at Move the Sticks on

2536
02:13:06,480 --> 02:13:10,880
Speaker 1: Twitter and he's got the podcast with Bucky Brooks. So

2537
02:13:11,760 --> 02:13:13,360
Speaker 1: we had him on the show today and we had

2538
02:13:13,440 --> 02:13:20,160
Speaker 1: him way in on this transformation of Josh Allen's game. Well,

2539
02:13:20,160 --> 02:13:22,440
Speaker 1: he's been awesome, Steve. I mean, it's been fun to

2540
02:13:22,480 --> 02:13:25,440
Speaker 1: watch just kind of watch his confidence continue to grow.

2541
02:13:26,200 --> 02:13:28,920
Speaker 1: Somebody that you knew I had the talent, just a

2542
02:13:28,920 --> 02:13:30,960
Speaker 1: matter of just is he going to really trust it?

2543
02:13:31,080 --> 02:13:34,000
Speaker 1: And he's gonna trust himself to get it done and

2544
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:36,880
Speaker 1: to throw with anticipation in timing, something he's never had

2545
02:13:36,920 --> 02:13:39,360
Speaker 1: to do in his life. And now you're seeing Josh

2546
02:13:39,360 --> 02:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Allen put all that together and really play at an

2547
02:13:42,320 --> 02:13:45,160
Speaker 1: MVP level. And to me, the other thing I would

2548
02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:47,400
Speaker 1: say about the Bills that jumps out and as much

2549
02:13:47,400 --> 02:13:49,680
Speaker 1: grief as that Cowboys got this last week for the

2550
02:13:49,760 --> 02:13:51,760
Speaker 1: lack of effort they play with on the defensive side

2551
02:13:51,800 --> 02:13:54,960
Speaker 1: of the ball, as this Buffalo Bill's offense is fun,

2552
02:13:55,080 --> 02:13:58,880
Speaker 1: but man, defensively they play so hard and it's just

2553
02:13:58,920 --> 02:14:02,400
Speaker 1: a really good group at all three levels. All Right, Well,

2554
02:14:02,440 --> 02:14:04,600
Speaker 1: that'll do it for a Friday show. We'll be back

2555
02:14:04,640 --> 02:14:07,600
Speaker 1: on Monday to tease the Tuesday Titans game. Provided that's

2556
02:14:07,600 --> 02:14:10,280
Speaker 1: the case. For Steve, I'm Chris. We'll catch up with

2557
02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:14,440
Speaker 1: you Monday
