Speaker 1: everything look good. It did look good. No problems, own,

21
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: no problem for Sunday. The forecast for Sunday calls for

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: cloudy skies and a hive about forty four degrees, so

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: some of that snow's gonna melt by Sunday. Sunday is

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: a big day here, the Baltimore Ravens with their ten

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: and two record coming to town to play the Buffalo Bills. That,

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: of course, is the topic of today's show. Welcome. I'm

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: John Murphy. This is Team Tasker here until three o'clock.

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: We got a busy show. We got a lot to do.

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: I was complaining last night to my wife, Man, this

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: week is just dragging, And all of a sudden, here

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: it's Thursday, and I'm like, holy cow, this week find by.

32
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened overnight. I'm kind of following

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: my routine, my prep routine for the game, getting my

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: work done, watching Ravens watch another game and a half

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: last night. But all of a sudden, I feel like, oh,

36
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: I better get going here. This game's almost here, and

37
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: it's Steve. I think a lot of it has to

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: do with the anticipation for what should be a really

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: big game, a really good game for the Bills. If

40
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: the Bills win their first ten win season since nineteen

41
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: ninety nine when they finished with eleven wins, I'd be there.

42
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: First time they'd be ten and three. It's nineteen ninety one.

43
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean, these are unprecedented times for this franchise, well,

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: at least in the last couple of decades. This is

45
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: a big game coming up. It is a big game,

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: and it's as where this a good game or not.

47
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. It's gonna be fun to watch.

48
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: But I think most of the country around outside and

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: let's face it, the Bills are the team coming in here,

50
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: even at nine and three, with all they've done, they're

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the team with something to prove. Baltimore has the MVP candidate,

52
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: They've got the number one offense in the league, they

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: got a defense that was playing extremely well. As two.

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: They are rolling in here as the top team in

55
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: the AFC. So they're the ones with nothing to prove.

56
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: The Bills are ones with something to proof. As well

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: as they've played as good a record as they have,

58
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: the Bills have got something to prove and that and

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, I think Bills fans

60
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: are all into this team. I mean, you got to.

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: You gotta be loving the way your team looks and

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: feels at this point of the season. But you gotta

63
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: know too, this is this is the game so far

64
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: this season. It's like I've said all along, your reward

65
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: is a bigger game, and here it is. This is

66
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: your first this is your first serving at the big table.

67
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: You know, this is your reward. You won that game

68
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: in Dallas on Thanksgiving. All right, here's the team that

69
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: nobody says you can beat. The Baltimore Ravens, eight straight wins,

70
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: the MVP playing quarterback, the number one offense, the unique

71
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: team that's beating everybody up scoring forty points in they

72
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: scored forty points most of their games. Let's see what

73
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: you can do against these guys. So this is the

74
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: Bills that come in here and stay at home with

75
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: something to prove, and it's it's gonna be fun to

76
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: see if they can do it. It's gonna be great,

77
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: great game. We hope you get a chance to listen

78
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: to it on the radio, watch it on TV, or

79
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: maybe even come here. It's gonna be a great place

80
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, go ahead. Now, I was gonna say,

81
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: talk about the Lamar Jackson, the MVP. This this was

82
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: up today of statistics. So over the last eight games,

83
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has fifteen TV passes, three interceptions, fourteen hundred

84
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: and twenty two passing yards, six rushing touchdowns, seven hundred

85
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: and thirty nine rushing yards, seven hundred and thirty nine

86
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: h yards Our guy Josh Allen. Where Jackson had fifteen

87
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: passing TVs, Josh has thirteen. This is last eight games.

88
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: This is the last eight games. Jackson has three interceptions,

89
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Josh only has two. Jackson has passed for fourteen hundred

90
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: and twenty two yards. Josh has sixteen hundred and eighty

91
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: eight yards, five rushing touchdown to Jackson six rushing touchdowns

92
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: and he's got three hundred yards rushing or Jess Shy

93
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: two ninety nine rushing yards to Jackson six seven hundred

94
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: and thirty nine rushing yards. So total, Lamar Jackson's got

95
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: him beat by one hundred and seventy four total yards,

96
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: but in passing Josh has him beat by six hundred

97
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: and sixty So what's the player. They're not two different,

98
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: they're different. The difference, yeah, very different. They're very difference,

99
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: and the difference comes out in Lamar Jackson's rushing yards.

100
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: They are virtually identical. In fact, Josh is a much

101
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: better thrower in the passing offense than Lamar has been.

102
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: But Lamar blows everybody away with his rushing yards. Yeah,

103
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: they're different, totally different, totally different style of players, totally

104
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: different styles of offense. Yes, but their statistics outside that

105
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: rushing yards are very similar. Numbers are very similar. And

106
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: even as much as people here in Buffalo say, wow, Josh,

107
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: maybe he runs a little too much, or maybe they

108
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: call his number in the running game a little too much,

109
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: there's nothing like what you're gonna see this weekend in Baltimore.

110
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Right that team's running they have, They've got a running

111
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: quarterback who's really good, really good at it. Lamar Jacksons

112
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: some milestones looking at even this week, He's got nine

113
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven rushing yards, twenty three yards away

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: from one thousand rushing yards for a quarterback, and he

115
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: can set an NFL single season record for rushing yards

116
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: by a quarterback this week. If he gets sixty three yards,

117
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: he would pass Michael Vick. You have one thousand forty

118
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: yards rushing as a quarterback, passing Michael Vick. Lamar Jackson

119
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: MVP candidate's strong MVP candidate. Everybody in the league's talking

120
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: about him now, and he's here right across the parking

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: lot coming up on Sunday. And the Lamar Jackson hype

122
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: has made its way to the Vatican. Believe it or not.

123
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if our listeners saw this, but Lamar

124
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: Backson van wagon went to the Vatican. The representatives from

125
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: the Archdiocese of Baltimore met with Pope Francis and brought

126
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: him a custom made Ravens jersey signed by Lamar Jackson

127
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: and coach John Harbaugh. The jersey, it's the Purple Ravens jersey.

128
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: It's got Lamar Jackson's number eight, and on the back

129
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: for a name, it says Francis, as in Pope Francis.

130
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't know why this strikes me as funny. You know,

131
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: it would really be funny if Pope Francis decides to

132
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: wear it out sometime right on the ports there at

133
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: the Vatican City, or if he's in the popemodial popemobile,

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, with that the Plexi glass cover and is

135
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: wearing the Lamar Jackson jersey. That would be really cool.

136
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: He's a soccer fan, right he's Argentinian. He's a soccer fan,

137
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. That's how big Lamar Jackson is. The Pope

138
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: now has as signed Lamar Jackson jersey. People looking at

139
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: eBay to see when the Pope puts it up for auction. Look,

140
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: you can tell the guys around him that the cardinals

141
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: around We're kind of trying to explain to him what

142
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: he's looking at. Right, He's like, listen, Francis, here's how

143
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: it goes. He's looking at this saying, hey, I deal

144
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: with a shroud of turn in your enemy at Lamar

145
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: Jackson jersey. What that So this guy is a goalie?

146
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Is he a forward? What is this guy? Well? Noisy quarterback? Why?

147
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: What is that? Pretty funny? Gotta find the place for

148
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to take his jersey? Where can he go?

149
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: Who would want his jersey? Josh? They could rival the popes.

150
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a big one. So anyway, welcome

176
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: a chance to do it this way. I've done it

177
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: with a couple of them. We have four sons and

178
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: a daughter. My daughter lives in Alaska, so she camps

179
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: out every day, but she does it. She lives an anchorage.

180
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: But my four sons and I are going on a

181
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: camping trip this weekend. We go one and this is why,

182
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, people on MSG can see I'm growing this

183
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: beard for the week We're gonna go winter camping in

184
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: the Adirondacks. And so it's me and my four boys,

185
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: who range an age from thirty two down to twenty one.

186
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: And it's the first year all of us have gone.

187
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: I've gone as with as many as three of them,

188
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: but the fourth one's always eluded us. So at this

189
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: point it we usually go in February after the football

190
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: season's over and all that, but this year, since I

191
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: get my weekends off and a couple of other things

192
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: have happened, we have to do it now because all

193
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: four of us can go. Yeah, right, and it's it's

194
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: wintery enough, right, so we're gonna go. And uh, you're

195
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna climb mountains around. Um yeah, we're gonna go up.

196
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: We're gonna spend two nights Friday nights Saturday night in

197
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: the mountains out and I'm we have a couple of

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: us that are sleeping in hammocks with the cold weather

199
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: cocoon around it. And then we have a couple of

200
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: that are sleeping in bubbies and uh, no tent. A

201
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: bibi's a like a weatherproof sleeping bag that you have

202
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: no tent. We have no tents, so we'll be with

203
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: We'll have a tarp that we can kind of congre

204
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: again and make a fire or whatever, you know, build

205
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: a camp fire and stuff. But then that'll be it.

206
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: We cook our own food and stuff and pack everything

207
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: and pack everything out. Sounds like fun, it's, um yeah,

208
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: it's it's enjoyable. There'll be a lot of fun. Yeah,

209
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: but it's yeah, it's too easy shiver and shake all night. No,

210
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: we have gear. I mean that's the thing too. If

211
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: you gotta go. My advice, if you're gonna go camping

212
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: gear in winter camping and a chance where it could

213
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: get down to zero or below zero, you're spending the

214
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: money on gear. Okay, you know, make sure, you got

215
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: some some tech gear that that'll keep you warm. But

216
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: we do well, we'll be okay. We've been out this

217
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: this weekend. We've learned it will not be as cold

218
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: as other weekends we've been out in right, So yes,

219
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: in fact, you have to it's a rule, a law

220
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: that you have to go in. If you're gonna go

221
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: up there and camp in the winter, you have to

222
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: have snow shoes with you on you if even if

223
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: you don't need them, you gotta have them with you, right,

224
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: So we'll be we'll have to snowshoe in right, and

225
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: trekking poles and all that. It'll be. It's THEO I'll

Speaker 1: we'll travel out. We'll take off tonight. And of course

228
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: while we're gone, the wives and girls and everybody are

229
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,320

234
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: I got a call play by playing Bills in the

235
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. Listen, make sure it's a good broadcasting. I'll

236
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: be listening. I'll be traveling, we'll be traveling back. I'll

237
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: be listening to it on the broadcast and have to

238
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: catch up to it on the DVR. But you know

239
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: what I neglected to mention for our show today. Part

240
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: of the on Sunday, the Bills and Google Sports and

241
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: Entertainment are going to argue the nineteen seventy Same Bondiment

242
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: your men's basketball team. They went to the Final Four

243
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: that year, and they will be introduced prior to the game.

244
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: And we've got We've got a guest coming on, Tim Kenney,

245
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: athletic director at the Same Bondiments, who joined us today

246
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: as well to talk about that. We can reminisce about

247
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy bondiment your team and talk about their

248
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: appearance on the field this week. It's They're just a

249
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: lot going on on the show. Bills are underdogs, right,

250
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: what do they see? Six and apf point underdogs at

251
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: home against the Baltimore Ravens. People who gamble say the

252
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: home underdog is always a good bet to make. We'll

253
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: see if that Bears fruit this week. But look, I

254
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: think you and I and we don't maybe today we

255
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: should pick a winners since you're not here tomorrow. I

256
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: think you and I both feel like this is an

257
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: uphill climb for the Bills against the hottest team in

258
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the league with eight straight wins ten wins overall. And

259
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: so we kind of crafted to Twitter poll today that

260
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: reflects that we know who the Bills are. We think

261
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: right after twelve games this year, we know how they played,

262
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: how much better they played in the last three weeks,

263
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: how the offense has come around, they found their identity

264
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: a little bit on offense, the defense still solid. But

265
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: maybe and I think you can make the argument that

266
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: they need somebody to jump up and make a surprise

267
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: contribution to a Buffalo win. And so that's what gets

268
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: us to our Twitter poll today. Who will be the

269
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: surprise contributor in a Bill's win over the Ravens? In

270
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: other words, who do you not see on your radar?

271
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: Maybe hasn't done a ton so far this year, but

272
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: you think we'll jump up, make plays and make the

273
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: difference in Buffalo's game against the Ravens. That's our Twitter

274
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: pole that's up right now. Got more than four hundred

275
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: votes in so far. Who would be the surprise contributor

276
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: in a Bill's win over the Ravens? Would it be

277
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: safety Micah Hide, That's my choice, and on Twitter, fourteen

278
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: percent of our respond in so far say Micah Hyde

279
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: would be the guy contributor. How about tight end Dawson Knox.

280
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: There have been flashes from the rookie tight end maybe

281
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: more than a flash, maybe a major contributions this week.

282
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: Forty seven percent of you say he's the guy. Nineteen

283
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: percent think of special teams Andre Roberts representing the Bills

284
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: Special Teams. Nineteen percent of you say he's the guy

285
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: who will be a surprise contributor. He could do it too,

286
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: He's done a really good job and kick returns, and

287
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: twenty one percent of somebody else in mind. Let's hear

288
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: from you. The phone line's open eight oh three five

289
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

290
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: five fifty tweets. We will read him on the tweet sheet.

291
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: You can vote on the Twitter poll who will be

292
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: the surprise contributor in a Bill's win over the Ravens.

293
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: Let me talk for a second about my choice, Micah Hide.

294
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: How much of a surprise is it That is debatable,

295
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: but I think obviously a lot of what we focus

296
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: on this week is what the Bills do with Lamar

297
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: Jackson and his incredible running ability. I would like to

298
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: see the Bills make him into more of a passer

299
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: this week. I talked about that this week. I'd like

300
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: to see the Bills make him pay for when he runs,

301
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: hitting him hard, and I think Micah Hyde may provide

302
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: the key here. Micah Hyde, I think, can do a

303
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: good job of staying up with Lamar Jackson. It is

304
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: incredible speed. I think Michae Hyde. I'm not sure if

305
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: the forty times match, but I think Mica Hide will

306
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: be in good shape to handle that. And I just

307
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: think with his smarts and Micah Hyde's experience, he can

308
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: do a good job of maybe directing what the Bills

309
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: do with Lamar Jackson. He would be my choice. Michael

310
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Hide is a surprise contributor in a Bill's win over

311
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I think it's gonna if they're gonna do

312
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: it on defensively, I think it's gonna come down to

313
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: who gets that crucial turnover at the right time. I

314
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: think that's where you think about defense, Because if you're

315
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna stop this team without getting turnovers, and you're gonna

316
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: win this game without turnovers being an enormous factor, it's

317
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a team effort. Everybody's gonna contribute, everybody's gonna

318
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: have to make tackles, everybody's gonna have to make a

319
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: great play in space on an elusive runner. So if

320
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna look for a guy to stand out as

321
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: a contributor, it's going to be a guy with a turnover.

322
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: And I think Mica Hide is a great, great example.

323
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: But if I'm looking down the tweet sheet of the

324
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: first we have first six people who responded, five of them.

325
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: Are you know they good? Yeah? Right, everybody's getting twenty

326
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: percent of the respondents, twenty percent of the responds have

327
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: their own ideas. And let's face it, the fun about

328
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: this question is we can all conjure upt scenarios where

329
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: this guy does. We've seen other players of these types

330
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: contribute big and wins, and you know, you know it's

331
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

332
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. And let's get

333
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: to him. Let's hear what people are saying on Twitter.

334
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: A surprise contributor for a Bill's victory the Sunday What

335
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: do you guys? Yeah see, I'm going with a heartbeat

336
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: of Tiffany says, I'm going with a heartbeat of the team.

337
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander to make a play that changes the course

338
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: of the game forcing a huge turnover. Bills Go Bills

339
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: when number ten coming up, and from Jeremiah, he says,

340
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Robert Foster still waiting for his breakout game this year,

341
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: and it seems they've targeted him a little more recently.

342
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: That's two others so far, a third from Jack other

343
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: as well. Of your choices, I think Roberts is due

344
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: for a kick or punt return for a TD. So

345
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: he's the guy of the choices we picked him might

346
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: do it. He's also got a nice size and speed

347
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: to be used at wide receiver. But how about Isaiah McKenzie.

348
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: He's proven to be very good on the jet sweeps

349
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: and the Ravens were exposed on the edge against the

350
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. So you got people, I mean they're

351
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: taken off in a big hurry. And we have this list.

352
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: I have list of rules for our Twitter polls in

353
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: my office and it said, you know one simplest better

354
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: and two people love to give advice or come up

355
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: with their own answers. And this is a great Twitter

356
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: poll for that. I think Jack's response is outstanding, and

357
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: I think he's onto something with Isaia McKenzie and especially

358
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: the jet sweeps. Look, it was a they can stay

359
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: by the way in their preferred personnel package eleven personnel

360
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: with Isaia McKenzie out there, jet sweeps were an important

361
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: part of the Buffalo offense right around mid season, right

362
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: actually after five or six games in they were doing

363
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: a great and the threat of the jet sweep. And

364
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: look at this baldleboard team. And Jeck's right about this.

365
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: The Ravens were exposed on the edge against the forty

366
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: nine ers. They were that's where you want to run

367
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: it against these guys on the edges, right, don't don't

368
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: try to drive it right up the middle and try

369
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: to knock heads with them. They're a very physical defense.

370
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: We talked about that, they're big on defense, especially up

371
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: the middle. Run to the outside. Get Zaie McKenzie going

372
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: on jet sweeps, get Devin Singletary outside. I think Jack

373
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: is onto something there. I think that's a really good response. Yeah,

374
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: it is. And and I think it's fun to think

375
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: about two particularly in the in the day and age

376
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: and which we live with, where the team has been

377
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: and we've leaned on the defense so far throughout the season,

378
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: it would be fun to have the offense step up

379
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: and win, you know, win a game and just and

380
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: blow the team out or make the play at the

381
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: end of the game to win it. In a hard

382
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: fought game. You know that Baltimore Ravens are gonna snap

383
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: off some big plays, just kind of feel it. They're

384
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: that kind of offense. But to answer it, and who

385
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: would it be to somebody unexpected to be able to

386
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: answer it in a big way at home and get

387
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 1: a win because of it. I think that's a lot

388
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: of fun to think about. Let's take one call here

389
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: on this topic. Who would be the surprise contributor in

390
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: a Buffalo victory over the Ravens on Sunday? Lendo from Blazel,

391
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, Lendo, you're on there with this, actually, Randall,

392
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: But that's Randall, Okay, I love you guys. Captivate Pros

393
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: always have the expert tutelage that we're all looking for

394
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: as Bill fans. Very nice. Thanks, that's nice. So I

395
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: think Matt Milano may have a breakout game. I think

396
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: that his coverage underneath is us been excellent the last

397
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: few games, especially man to man. Been out in the

398
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: zone quite often, and uh, you know, I could see

399
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: him either recovering a bubble for a touchdown or returning

400
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: one at some point. But I also think the fans

401
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: are going to be the main contributor. We're gonna be

402
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: loud and proud on Sunday talking proud boys. Thanks Randall.

403
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: You make a good point. And here's the thing. We

404
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: talked about Milano as maybe a surprise contributor. How much

405
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: of a surprise I think would be an issue. I

406
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: think Matt Milano's having a Pro Bowl caliber year, and yes,

407
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: he would be in position to make a difference in

408
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: this game. Um dealing with Ravens tight engine and look

409
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: those guys. The three of them have as I think

410
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: one hundred one catches, so they are weapons in the

411
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: passing game, but they're really weapons in the run game.

412
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: Those guys, especially the top two Hurst to some extent

413
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: Hayden Hursts the second year player, but Mark Andrews and

414
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: Nick Boyle are outstanding blockers, really good blockers, really good

415
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: physical forces, and when they get going downfield, they can

416
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: overpower linebackers including you know, kind of an undersized a

417
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: little bit Matt Milano, so important figure in the past defense. Yes,

418
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: but I really want to make sure the Bills can

419
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: match up when they're running the ball, when Lamar Jackson's

420
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: running the ball, or you know, when mark Ingram's running

421
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: the ball. Those tight ends are just blockers. They're really

422
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: good blockers. Yeah, And historically in the NFL you get

423
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 1: an undersized linebacker on the Milanos. It's not that he's

424
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: not a good player. He's a good player, but he

425
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, this is a team that you know, he's

426
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: asked to cover and run in space, so he's not

427
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty five pound run stuffer. So

428
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: that guy is not on this team right. So historically

429
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: what offenses will do, particularly this Ravens offense, they'll seek

430
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: out a guy who's run big at him, run big

431
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: guys at him and force him to like bear up

432
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: and stuff the run when he's not physically built to

433
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: do it. So they're gonna seek him out probably and

434
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: put some big tight ends coming right at him or

435
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: maybe that full three hundred pound fullback, you know, and

436
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: try and just overpower him at the point of attack.

437
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: That's always an issue that you got to deal with

438
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. And you know, if Milano starts

439
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: jumping around blocks or something like that, it could lead

440
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: to problems. Ye. All right, we're gonna take a break here,

441
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: We're coming back in a minute. We're gonna go to

Speaker 1: Good to have you with us here today. All right,

454
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: big question now, who, yes, who is playing the role

455
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson? In practice. You been around to see

456
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: that this week? Yeah, so Ray Ray is doing his best.

457
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: Lamar actually went to college. One of his college roommates

458
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 1: at Clemson was actually Lamar's cousin, so he knows Lamar.

459
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: So he did his best impersonation out here on the

460
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: practice field yesterday. Got some good reviews from his defensive teammates,

461
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: most notably Jerry Hughes, who said that Ray Area was

462
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: giving them great looks. And I know Ray Ray is

463
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: not going to match Lamar's four three, four or forty times,

464
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: but what he does mimic well is the quickness short

465
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: area quickness, you know, stopping on a dime, changing direction.

466
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: Those are probably the most important things, at least for

467
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: the guys up the line of scrimmage to get accustomed

468
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: to going into Sunday. Yeah, and what are some of

469
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: the other things this defense is looking at? Because a

470
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: lot of what Lamar does is ball handling, read option stuff,

471
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: and also obviously he can throw it too. I mean,

472
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: there's so much this guy does. Does Ray Ray give

473
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 1: him all of that as well? Well? Yeah? And the

474
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: phrase that I heard about twenty times in the locker

475
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: room yesterday after practice was I discipline and you know,

476
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: I think the two key guys to this whole defensive

477
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: effort are going to be Milano and Edmunds. The second

478
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: level defenders that are going to see the most of

479
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: him are those two guys unless he gets way outside.

480
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: And now you need run support from your corners, and

481
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: the Bills are pretty good in terms of corners that

482
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: can support the run and play physical in that aspect.

483
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Arn Johnson I think is pound for pound,

484
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: one of the best tacklers in supporting the run on

485
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: the team. And then Tradevious is always a willing tackler.

486
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: Levi kind of latches on and holds on Dreys drag

487
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: guys to the ground. But I think it's Mulano at

488
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: Edmund's making the right reads, seeing the ball from the

489
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: very beginning and not getting fooled and trusting you know

490
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: what they're looking at. Lamar is really good. I mean,

491
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: he's like a magician back there with the way he's

492
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: able to pull it out at the last second. And

493
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: then that four to three four speed is obviously deadly.

494
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: But those two guys are gonna be They gotta play

495
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: their best game on Sunday if they're gonna slow down

496
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: this Baltimore offense. It's supposed to be dry on Sunday,

497
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: but the wind's supposed to be about fourteen fifteen miles

498
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: per hour. And the Ravens just came off that Niner

499
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: game where it was just a horrific rainstorm in Baltimore.

500
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: With a team that runs it like Baltimore does, it's

501
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: got to help them when the conditions, you know, are

502
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: bad for both teams, I think they would be able

503
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: to weather it better than any other team in the

504
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: league would the Is that right for the Baltimore Ravens

505
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: You see it the same way? Well, I mean when

506
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: you average over two hundred yards rushing a game. Yeah,

507
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: it certainly plays into your favor if the weather's not

508
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: good because you can rely on that. Now. At the

509
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: same time, if the Bills know it's coming, no, you

510
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: can maybe load the box a little bit more, maybe

511
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: bring that extra defender down. I will say this just

512
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: from the two or three games of the Ravens that

513
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: I watched. Lamar doesn't throw it outside the numbers very much.

514
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: Outside of throwing it to the flat. Everything's between the numbers.

515
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't throw outside and I think it's because he

516
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: has some accuracy issues with those kinds of throws, whether

517
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: it's the whole shot against Cover two, which is like,

518
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, the forty yard touchdown pass that Josh Allen

519
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: through to John Brown against Miami for fans that might

520
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: not know what the whole shot is, and then deep

521
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: down the sideline. He doesn't do that either, And I

522
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: think it's because you know, one of his best receivers

523
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: who lines up outside being Mark He's Brown is on

524
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: the smallish side and is not going to win those

525
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: battles out there. But it seems like they keep a

526
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: very confined passing game on Lamar Jackson's menu, and he'll

527
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: work with those tight ends primarily between the numbers, and

528
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: then when they get in the red zone, they'll start running.

529
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: They're faster guys like Hollywood Brown on slants, but outside

530
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: the numbers, I'm not seeing much guys. I agree. We're

531
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: with Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com.

532
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: He's on the sidelines at Bill's practice today. A couple

533
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: of minutes UFT with Chris and Chris just is an

534
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: overall sense of what the Bills need to do defensively.

535
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: Watching the Ravens, I've been thinking a lot about what

536
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: people used to say about the Tyrod Taylor, Let's make

537
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: him be a quarterback. Defenses that wanted to play against

538
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, We're gonna make him be a quarterback. There's

539
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: an element of that here with Lamar Jackson. I think

540
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: for the Bills defense, do you agree, Well, yeah, but

541
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: that's easier said than done. You've really got to stop

542
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: their run game. I mean a lot of times the

543
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: Ravens don't even have to worry about throwing on third

544
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: down because they never kept a third down. Yeah, they're

545
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: getting a first down after first or second down, and

546
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: they're never in an obvious passing down situation based on

547
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: down and distance, and so that leaves the whole menu

548
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: open for them to choose from, you know, Greg Roman,

549
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. So the key is getting those stops

550
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: on the early downs and putting them in a passing

551
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: situation that's third in medium at the very least. It's

552
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: easier said than done. San Francisco and outstanding defense, even

553
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: they had some trouble doing that last week. Yeah, and

554
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: one thing I just want I'm watching that game in particular,

555
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: they kept you know, and they're right about it. The

556
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: third and four for the Ravens is a running down

557
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: unlike most NFL teams, right, yeah, and that's the key

558
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: for them. I mean, they don't care what it is.

559
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: If it's less than five yards, you got to you

560
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: gotta at least anticipate the possibility of it being a

561
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: run play for them. They're a unique rushing offense and

562
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an adjustment this week even with all

563
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: this practice out here today. Yea, thanks Brownie. You gotta guys,

564
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot com. Is

565
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: they wrap up the open portion of practice today. I

566
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: do think there's something too that. Yeah, I know, but

567
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: I do think stop the run, load the box, make

568
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: him throw it, make him throw it against an eight

569
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: man Boxebee can do it. And Chris is absolutely right.

570
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: I've watched three and a half four of Ravens games now,

571
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: going back a month or two, and he doesn't throw

572
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: to the outside terminals that much. He does not throw

573
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. Is he capable of that? I don't know.

574
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: You don't see it much. You know, he wasn't. The

575
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: reason why he was there in the bottom of the draft.

576
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: One of the reasons was he is not an accomplished

577
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: great passer, unlike the college careers of people like Sam

578
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: Darnold in particular in Baker Mayfield and some of the others,

579
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, he can't. He never demonstrated he could make

580
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: those throws. Yeah, and but here's the thing. He throws

581
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: it and obviously has thrown it way more than well

582
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: enough for this team to win a lot of games.

583
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: They're scoring forty points a game and they're averaging over

584
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: two hundred yards a game. Because they're big, tough and physical.

585
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: You've got to own up to that. You've got to

586
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: keep them into it. If you've got to get him

587
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: into the third and long, they just don't do it

588
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: very often. And even in a third and six or

589
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: seven they may they may snap off a run. That's

590
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: what is going to take to beat this team. You've

591
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: got to get him to throw it. But I don't

592
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: know that putting eight or even nine eyes in the

593
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: boxes the answer. They run it against that look, and

594
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: they've been pretty successful doing it. So it's it's not

595
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: just so much as you say, hey, make the guy

596
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: play quarterback. He's playing quarterback well enough that their run

597
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: game powers everything and you're not throwing it well he

598
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have to. He didn't throw it often. Look their

599
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: number one receivers the tight end, Mark Andrews and then

600
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown and his thirty six catches. Good for a second,

601
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: and then they've got tight end and Willie Steen has

602
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: twenty four catches, Seth Roberts says fifteen, Miles Boykin has eleven.

603
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: They don't go to much of those wide receivers. They'd

604
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: rather run it, and run it they do. They do

605
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: it as well as anybody in the league. Yeah, here's

606
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: what happened like last week against now San Francisco. I mean,

607
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: he might want to take that game out of it,

608
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: but he threw for He was fourteen of twenty three,

609
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: four hundred and five yards last week in a win,

610
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: one t D zero interceptions. Yeah, he didn't complete that

611
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: many passed, but he led the team in rushing with

612
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and one yards on sixteen attempts. So that's

613
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: that'll tell you a little bit about where they were

614
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: last week. Now, if you want to go back further

615
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: than that, for the Baltimore Ravens, you go back to well,

616
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: let's go back to their Rams game where they won

617
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: forty five to six, and you look at that and

618
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson throws for fifteen of twenty for one hundred

619
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: and sixty nine yards, so that he can throw it.

620
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: And he did it against a Wade Phillips defense. Yeah,

621
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: twenty passes, but they yea mark and then Ingram rushes

622
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 1: for one hundred and eleven yards and Lamar Jackson rushes

623
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: from ninety five. I mean, that's that's what allows him

624
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: to throw it only twenty times if you can force

625
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: him to, if you want to see him throw it.

626
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: There's a reason nobody can get him to throw the football,

627
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, and even what they do, there's no guarantee

628
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna work. He's fifteen to twenty, you know, it's

629
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: completing seventy five percent of his throws. That's it's pretty good.

630
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good percentage. Look, there are not a

631
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: whole lot of good answers against this really good, solid,

632
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: unusual Baltimore offense. But to me, the number one answer

633
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: is make them throw it. Load the box, make them

634
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: throw it. Don't give up three yards on first down

635
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: and six yards on second down. And now you got

636
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: the third and one so they can run it again.

637
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: We'll see. I mean, there's a million ways to look

638
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: at it. I don't know from you. Well, let's first

639
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: talk about and Chris mentioned it, Ray Ray McLeod playing

640
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: the role for the Scout team of Lamar Jackson. Jerry

641
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: Hughes talked about that in the locker room yesterday. He says,

642
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Ray Ray has done a pretty good job playing

643
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: the role of Lamar Jackson. Here's Jerry Hughes. Yeah, he's

644
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: a very athletic guy. He knows how to throw the ball,

645
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: which is surprising that he can do that, but he's

646
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: he can do it all, which I mean Ray Ray

647
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: is a very talented guy. So he's giving us a

648
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: great love, keeping us on our sails and uh, making

649
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: us work. He ran He ran for five thousand yards.

650
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: Is running back in high school? Did you know that? No?

651
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: I did not, but it doesn't surprise me after watching

652
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: him today. I mean, he's a quick guy, stops on

653
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: the dive and he knows what he's what he's doing

654
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: with the football in his hand. And that's what we

655
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: need on defense is someone who's quick, fast, elusive and

656
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: can make the right calls. Jerry, as a edge defender,

657
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: how do you balance not going for the dive when

658
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: you see the handoff, seeing the mesh point, staying patient,

659
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: going to the quarterback because of he could pull it out. Yeah,

660
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: we just got to play smart, play within our game plan,

661
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: keep our eye discipline. This week will all be about

662
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: eye discipline, and that's what we're working on. I discipline

663
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: is key. And they run a ton of readoption stuff,

664
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: a ton of option stuff, and uh it's hard sometimes

665
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: to find the ball. Um with the way he can

666
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: do it, Lamar Jackson can handle you can handle the

667
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: ball really well. Steve tell us the role that that

668
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: a scout team plays in practice this week, and I wonder,

669
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, so you got a guy anyway, he's gonna

670
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: dress up and wear the penny with eight on it

671
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: and he'll be, uh, their replica, it'll be Ray Ray,

672
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: I guess, the replica of Lamar Jackson. But um, how

673
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: important role is there? It is an important role because

674
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: it gives you an idea of how fast it's gonna

675
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: happen and also what's going to look like when it does.

676
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Plus when they film practice, they film every reps, and

677
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: when you get back in and you watch it, it's

678
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: like when when he when you're when you see this

679
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: guy go down like this, and this guy go down,

680
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: You've got to step here. You've got to be here

681
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: because then if a B or C happens, we're in

682
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: position you got and it trains you not to get

683
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: caught up in stuff that they would the ravens would

684
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: like you to look at instead of the stuff you're

685
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: supposed to key on. So for instance, and this is

686
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: a total oversimplification, but say say you're an inside linebacker.

687
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: Your key is the guard. If the guard turns outside,

688
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: you have a key where you're supposed to fill in

689
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: another gap. If he turns inside, you do this. But

690
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: if you get all if you get caught up lamart

691
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: starts taking off anything off one way, or if some

692
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: guy at tight ends coming across on the jet sweep

693
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: or whatever, it's irrelevant to your key. Just watch the guard.

694
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: You get caught up. Been watching these guys fly around

695
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: in the backfield or lamar. Maybe he's gonna drop back

696
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: this time, or he does hand it off or doesn't

697
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: hand it off. Just watch your guy, watch the guard.

698
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: If he turns the way you're supposed to turn, feel

699
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: where you're supposed to feel. If he doesn't, don't, And

700
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: guys get caught up watching the play like a fan.

701
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: You get caught up thinking, I'm gonna oh, that key

702
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: is off the table now because they're doing this. Well,

703
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: no they're not. You know, they make you look other

704
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: places other than what your keys are, and you'll have

705
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: you'll be able to watch film. Coaches are able to

706
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: watch film and say, hey, listen, when the guard tackle

707
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: does this, there's no way it's gonna be this other thing,

708
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: so go here, right. So that's when you guys self scout.

709
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: That's what analytics started out as you self scouted. Whenever

710
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: we're doing this, we're showing this you know that kind

711
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: of thing there. We know what our own keys are.

712
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: So that's what happens in a game plan when an

713
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: offense will do some things and they'll add a wrinkle

714
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: to it. They know what you know, right, So when

715
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: they give you that it's always been this, it has

716
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: never been that. So don't defend that, right, force them

717
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: to put a wrinkle in and if they do, okay,

718
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: but if they don't, you've got them. But you can't

719
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: get caught up in the distractions. You can't get caught

720
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: up in this jet The jet sweep is not an

721
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: inside linebacker's play to make. Don't make it. Don't try

722
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: and make it. You know, don't get caught up in

723
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: the in the tight end motion or the shift or

724
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: the in all that stuff. Stick with what you're supposed

725
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: to do. And that goes wherever you guy across the front.

726
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: Some guys do have to catch that motion coming across

727
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: towards them, be alert for it and defend it. But

728
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: don't defend to sweep away. You don't have to chase

729
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: that down. What happens to Lamar boots out outside of you.

730
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: Now you know they snap off a big play because

731
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: you thought it was an end around. You didn't mind

732
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: your business. That's what it's all about, and the discipline

733
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: that what it comes down to two is after you

734
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: do all of that, you gotta make a ton of

735
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: one on one tackles because you're never You're never gonna

736
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: have six guys running to the ball because they all

737
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: knew what the play was going to be. Because of

738
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: the misdirection of what Baltimore brings to the table, You've

739
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: got guys kind of lagging behind to make sure he

740
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: didn't give the ball to mark Ingram. You're gonna have

741
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 1: guys lagging behind because they don't know if that tight

742
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: end is going to fold out and then escape into

743
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: the slant into the flat on a bootleg, because so

744
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: you're lagging behind the play that they're making you think

745
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: it is, and you're putting an onus on the guys

746
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: who are supposed to defend it. They got to do

747
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: it on their own. You can't pursue the pursuit's not

748
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: going to be there as quick. That was good. That

749
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: was about as strong an analysis as you've ever come

750
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: up with on this show. Did it makes sense? Yes? Hey,

751
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: what do you think? Who'll be the surprise contributor to

752
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: a Bill's win on Sunday? Who might it be? That's

753
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll and it's getting pretty good traction on Twitter.

754
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: People voting in the poll. We've got seven hundred eighty

755
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: votes so far. Forty five percent of you say the

756
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: surprise contributor would be the rookie tight end Dawson Knox huh.

757
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: Nineteen percent say to be the special team returns as

758

Speaker 1: Andre Roberts, sixteen percent say it'll be uh safety Micah

759
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,640

Speaker 1: this is a first time caller, John from Orchard Park. Great.

777
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: Remember you a reverse question before? Who would be a

778
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: big contributor? Yes, bills this weekend and I don't know

779
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: if we remember if you remember the bills or now

780
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: I'm sorry Houston Louisville game, and Ed Oliver had an

781
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: outstanding game, two sacks and other statistics, and I think

782
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: he has something to prove this week and were when

783
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: they played Louisville and Houston, Houston annihilated them. And I

784
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a big attributor and had

785
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: something to prove. He had a little success in college.

786
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: You think it might transfer into this Sunday. Josh John

787
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: is gone, He's gone. I guess that's what it was.

788
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver had a really good day for the Houston

789
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: What is the Houston Texans, No, no, no, no, the

790
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: Houston Cougars. Houston Cougars against the Louisville Cardinals, and Ed

791
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: Oliver got a couple of sacks on Lamar Jackson when

792
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: he was in college. So maybe it'll transfer over into

793
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: this Sunday's game. Maybe that's well, hey, there's some thought

794
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: to win into that. I guess. Yeah. Surprise contributors we're

795
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: looking for and not having much success so far. Mike

796
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Go ahead, Mike, you're on the airp next, Mike,

805
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:51,480

820
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: car help us out, Tony what he got hey? First

821
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: of all, congratsa see Tasker for making it to the

822
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: semi finals for the Hall of Fame. Man, you deserve

823
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: to get in there. Thank you appreciate it. That's nice

824
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: of you to say. Secondly, I think it's gonna be

825
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he consurduced every game, but I want to

826
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: see it on a higher level. Probably a career day

827
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: as a Buffalo Bill is going to be John Brown.

828
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: I think he's got something to say to his former organization,

829
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: and I'm just kind of anticipating a big date from him.

830
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: That's interesting, you know. I never Tony. Thanks for your call, Steve.

831
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: I never got the sense that John Brown was bitter

832
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: about what went down in Baltimore last year. I mean,

833
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: they switched quarterbacks midway through it. They went to Lamar

834
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: Jackson and we were just talking about how rarely he

835
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: throws to his outside terminals and John Brown was one

836
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: of them last year, and so his production just dropped

837
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: off the table. They did him once they made the

838
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: quarterback switch. Yeah, he was having a really good year

839
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: right up until the time they did make the quarterback switch,

840
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: and you know, his numbers virtually disappeared. And that's why too,

841
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: with what was happening to that offense. And I think

842
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: that the Ravens decided they were going in a different

843
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: direction with their wideouts for that reason. And you know,

844
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: John Brown became available again. I don't think he has

845
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: been any bitterness, or I don't think so, but still

846
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: it's an intriguing possibility. Yeah, I don't know, but I

847
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: don't think John Brown's like that in his personality. He's

848
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: not like a vindictive guy like Cole Beasley. I mean,

849
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley handled it really well. Certainly he was happy

850
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: about the day he had in Dallas, but he didn't

851
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: walk in there thinking I'm going to show him, but

852
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: he did. He showed him. Yeah, let's go to Paul

853
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 1: and Kenmore. Hi, Paul, welcome, you're on the air with us. Hey, guys,

854
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: how you doing. I'm going for caller the Daale than

855
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: Tony after the first fall call Um with these mobile

856
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks Um Lamar Jackson RG three, just to name a

857
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: couple of them, it seems they have a good couple

858
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: of years and then it seems like defenses catch up

859
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: to them. Um, I know RG three got hurt. Yeah,

860
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: is there something that the defenses see after a couple

861
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: of years that you think the Bills can use the

862
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: game plan for this game to kind of keep him

863
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: in check. I know you're not going to completely you know,

864
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: keep me, but to like Steve said, and you said,

865
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: to make him more of a passive. Well, it's a

866
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: really good question. It's a good question, Paul. Yeah. My

867
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: thought is every quarterback is like that. It's not just

868
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks, it's not just young quarterbacks, quarterbacks with a

869
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: skill set, everybody. All quarterbacks have strengths and weaknesses, and

870
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: teams become more familiar with whatever those are, and they

871
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: forced those quarterbacks to beat you with their weakness, rather

872
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: beat them with their weakness, rather than letting them do

873
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: what they do best. And that happens to every quarterback,

874
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: and it's easy. Maybe it's just more evident or easy

875
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: to see when a quarterback who doesn't throw the ball

876
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: so well as forced to do that, or a drop

877
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: back passer is forced to move off his spot, or

878
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: they put pressure on him to run or to get

879
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, or to roll out that he

880
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: has to move around in the pocket because he's not

881
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: very good at that. So you see it in both ways,

882
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: both with mobile quarterbacks and immobile quarterbacks. With passers and runners,

883
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: the team's become more familiar with what the guy can't

884
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: do very well, and that's what they force him to

885
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: do to beat him. So it's not just mobile quarterbacks.

886
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: It's all quarterbacks, and it just we just happened to

887
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: notice it in a different way with guys like Lamar

888
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: Jackson RG three, or Tim Tebow or you know, you

889
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: can go down the list of guys who were known

890
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: as runners rather than passers, and passers rather than runners,

891
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: Philip rivers. For a long time, it used to be

892
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: you could pressure him and move them. But now he's

893
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: really good at it because he's practiced it. You know,

894
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: you get into league seventeen years, you do that. But

895
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: you got to force guys to do what they don't

896
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: do well. And right now, Lamar, there's not too much.

897
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: It looks like Lamar doesn't do very well. We've mentioned

898
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: like he doesn't throw the ball outside the numbers and

899
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: the intermediate right, Well, okay, if you can't make him

900
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: do that, they're gonna beat you. You know, if he

901
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: has a bad day, you know, you got to force

902
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: him to do something that he's not good at and

903
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: for a long time. It takes a while. For a while,

904
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: it takes him that long to figure out what the

905
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: guy doesn't do. Well. Yeah, you know what my answer

906
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: to be, Paul, It's a really interesting question. Is I

907
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: almost hate to go here, but punish him, you know,

908
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: make him pay for running that much. He's got one

909
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three rushing attempts this year. You know

910
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: how we all think Josh Allen runs too much. Lamar

911
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: Jackson has fifty more rushing attempts this year than Josh Allen.

912
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: Punish him, make him pay. And I'm not saying break

913
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: his legs or put him out of the game, hurt him,

914
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: but I'm saying, make it hurt when he runs, make

915
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: him think twice about bo Do I really want to

916
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: run because I got tagged last time by Shack Lawson

917
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: or by Lorenzo Alexander. That's number one. By the way,

918
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: you'd be doing a huge favor for the Cleveland Browns,

919
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, and everybody else they play in

920
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: the future. Because it remains to be seen. And I

921
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: love what Lamar Jackson doing and he is the most

922
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: exciting player in the game, but it remains to be

923
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: seen if that model is sustainable, Steve. For a quarterback

924
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: to run it that much, to take that much punishment,

925
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: many people think it's not. I don't know how I

926
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,919
Speaker 1: come out on this issue. You know, we were talking

927
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: earlier this year about Bills on quarterback Josh Allen. Can

928
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: they keep this up? Can they keep giving it to

929
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: Josh be running it this much? And I thought, yeah,

930
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: he's an important part of the running game. I mean,

931
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: he's arguably the second most important guy carrying the ball

932
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: on the Bill's roster after Devin's singletary. But it remains

933
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: to be seen him you can sustain that over the

934
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: long term. Like I don't, I've thought about this a lot.

935
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if three years from now Josh Allen

936
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: should be getting as many rushing attempts as he has

937
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: this year, And I certainly don't know if every year.

938
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: So the Baltimore Ravens seventy five percent through their schedule,

939
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: got one hundred and forty Russian attempts for Lamar Jackson,

940
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: more than anybody or no, Ingraman is more carries? So

941
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: what's that translated into one hundred and seventy five carries?

942
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: Can you sustain that for more than a year. I

943
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you can. And it's also it's about punishment.

944
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: It's about making him pay. Ask Cam Newton how hard

945
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, it's hard, you know. And he didn't.

946
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: He didn't have him retmany called runs. And he is

947
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: a big and he's a big debt. He's Lamar Jackson.

948
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: He's a Josh Allen type sized guy, Lamar Lamar Jackson

949
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: six two two twelve, Cam six five two fifty And

950
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: it took its toll on him. But how about this

951
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: Murph sustainable? Maybe not with Lamar Jackson, but with the

952
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: next guy coming out of college. You just draft another

953
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: one to let him run this option read stuff another again,

954
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: get a guy who can do it. Maybe you sustain

955
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: it with the philosophy, but not with the exact same player.

956
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: But I think at this point they got a singular

957
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: talent there that he's special. I don't think there's guys

958
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: like him. There's six two two twelve running a four three.

959
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: All right, let me post the question. This one we

960
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 1: got to get to a break here in a second.

961
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: Do you see Lamar Jackson and the Ravens playing this way,

962
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: doing what they're doing now five years from now? I don't. Yeah,

963
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to see that. Yeah, right, But you know what,

964
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: if you're the right do you care right now? If

965
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: you're the Ravens, let's just try and win it first

966
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: round draft. I mean, I hope Josh Allen's playing well

967
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: for the Bills five years from now. Yeah, that's a

968
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: good point. That's a good point. But then again, they

969
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: could have gotten Lamar Jackson in the third round maybe,

970
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they didn't. They wouldn't have

971
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: had a draft from thirty two if they'd have had

972
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: the draft further down, a pick through of it down,

973
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, so you don't have

974
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: to you know, don't find I don't know either, but

975
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: unless sustainable Sunday, yeah probably, I mean, how are you

976
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 1: gonna say it's not Lamar Jackson that makes this thing

977
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: run and then just say, like I'm trying to or

978
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: making a point about there's another guy out there that

979
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, just get the next guy out of college.

980
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that guy's there. Yeah, We got

981
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: a guest coming up who knows a thing or two

982
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: about running the ball, taking a pounding when you run

983
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: the ball. This guy got three hundred carries a couple

984
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: of years. Thurman Thomas, Hall of Famer, back with us.

Speaker 1: the Bills. Mcglocktin Lowe was awarded to the Colts based

Speaker 1: Spent time after being released here with Minnesota's practice squad

1012
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: Played a little bit with the forty nine Ers. He's

Speaker 1: a former starting center Ernest Grosso, off waivers from the

1017
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,799

00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,880

Speaker 1: Baltimore against San Francisco and played every snap at center,

1020
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,400

1045
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: loved it. I know when when when the schedule came out,

1046
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 1: that was one of the games that we circled like

1047
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: we might go to. But then we were like, nah,

1048
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,160

Speaker 1: Tony Romo and who was that, Jim Natz. I mean,

1061
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean they could have went there and started off

1062
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 1: from the game talking about the past two Super Bowls

1063
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, they could have really did that,

1064
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: you know, but they didn't. I don't think they did,

1065
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: you know. But uh, it was good to see the

1066
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: Bills on national television and and kick somebody, but really

1067
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: make a statement, man. I mean, I really enjoyed the

1068
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: facial expressions of Jerry Jones, especially at the beginning of

1069
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,720
Speaker 1: it was great, you know, to be on this side

1070
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: of it now. You know that the the cutaway to

1071
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones with his hands over his face was the

1072
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: for the tech loop. We were on a play the game,

1073
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: so you know, it was great. So yeah, there and

1074
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: it was. It was a fun time because you can tell,

1078
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know why it is because it's you know,

1079
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: a couple of decades ago, but man, oh many it

00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the list for the Special Team NFL

1090
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: one hundred A couple of yeah, but come on, dude,

1091
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: you're still a special team guy. Had returners, you return

1093
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:55,080

Speaker 1: on there, man, for the Hall of Fame. Can't Ohio

1095
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,600

1096
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: do you guys playing in the selection of another class

1097
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: and Lofton does something, he's a voter right in the

1098
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: Seniors Committee. I don't think he's a voter. Actually he

1099
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: gets to sit in on the the cutdowns, now, yeah, yeah,

1100
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: he gets to sit I don't think he has a vote.

1101
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't think at an NFL player that's in the

1102
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame has a vote. It's all for the writers,

1103
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're just there to kind of present, you know,

1104
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: our case or just kind of listen to what other

1105
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: reporters are talking about. Uh, And I don't I don't

1106
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: know if he's he's able to speak about things or

1107
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 1: whatever players, so you know, but he's still Scott should

1108
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: be in. Well literally say that, and he won't to

1109
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: ask you these questions, so I have to. So I'll

1110
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: just sit here quiet. Yeah, yeah, to go get a smoke.

1111
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: What can you do? Who has a Hall of Famer

1112
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: and you you have contacts? What can you do to

1113
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: kind of put him over the top? You got people

1114
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: you can call? Right, I've been, I've been. I've been

1115
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: contacting people that actually have votes for the Hall of Fame.

1116
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: You know text Bruce does the same thing. You know,

1117
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: he has guys at the texts and say why not

1118
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: a special team guy? When you have this look at

1119
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: him trying to cruise off Ryan Ran, Right, Bruce might

1120
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: not be the one to text. Yeah, he's still say

1121
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: it's crazy stuff, right, But no, I mean we do.

1122
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: We speak up about it, speak up to David Baker

1123
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 1: about it all the time. But here's the thing. Here's

1124
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: the thing though, I mean, you're you're my guys. You're

1125
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: supposed to talk, man, just like all these other guys,

1126
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: these other twenty five semifinals have all their teammates, their

1127
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: old teammates saying the same thing about them. So it's

1128
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: but this wasn't done. Your special team's done. You're a

1129
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: special team. This is totally different. This is totally different. Yeah,

1130
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: totally different from those guys. And you're talking about the

1131
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: best of the best. Right, So you don't think Slad's

1132
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 1: going to start when he retires, people are gonna start

1133
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: saying things kind of case. Yeah, he's got a guy

1134
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: that's a well i'll talk about this with you later.

1135
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: That's a guy who whose opinion would have some sway here.

1136
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: Matthew Slader, I'm the Pro Bowls you've been too, He's

1137
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: been to seven. That if Matthew Slader steps up and says, man,

1138
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: I think Steve tasker belongs in the Hall of Fame

1139
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: that I'll get some attention. And I'll tell you this,

1140
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: and I told you this. There's some special teams guy.

1141
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: And there's a list of guys that that I played

1142
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: with and against and who kind of know about, you know,

1143
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: who should get into who I think should get in

1144
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: as a special team's guy, return guy, slash whatever whatever

1145
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 1: is Brian Mitchell Mitchell, Ye, well he's on that should

1146
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: be in. He's but he's probably but he's probably gonna

1147
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 1: lose out to these. I think one of the things

1148
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: that happens for us, and I've noticed over the years,

1149
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 1: and you'll think this too, guys like Brian Mitchell and say, well,

1150
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 1: like Frank Gore, he's an aggregator, one of those guys

1151
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: he just played a long time. Like Charlie Joiner, he

1152
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: played a long time. Yeah, let me tell you something.

1153
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: You want to find something that put you in the

1154
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. For players playing a long time is

1155
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: the one as is the one face in your career

1156
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: that gives it to you. Absolutely, playing a long time

1157
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: is the holy grail, right right. There's only been I

1158
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: think one, two, three, or four guys that have played

1159
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: twenty years. Yeah, it's a twenty years jacket. Slater George Blanda, Um,

1160
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: I think one of the Matthews. I'm not quite sure. Somebody. Yeah,

1161
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: it's not a lot. Morton Anderson did he play twenty

1162
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I think Morton played. But anyway, but nevertheless, nevertheless,

1163
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: that's the thing, the one thing that were the writers

1164
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: in Go Wow. He just had it. Putting together a

1165
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: career like that is hall of fame in itself. I

1166
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: got you hey too much to play two players. It

1167
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: is if he p a Pro Bowl back when it

1168
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: was actually a Pro Bowl game game it was actually

1169
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, it is a lot different. Now Thurmont

1170
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: is with us, Thurmon Thomas for a few more minutes.

1171
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this, Uh, since we've

1172
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: seen you last last week, the NFL network could put

1173
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: on its Football Life about Bruce Smith. Did one on

1174
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: you a couple of years ago? Did you watch Bruce? Oh? Absolutely, yeah,

1175
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 1: you like better? I was versus what did you think? Accurate?

1176
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: Very very I thought so. You know, a day after

1177
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 1: it came out, Bruce called me. You know, you know,

1178
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm a little upset with Belichick. He didn't as great

1179
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: as a coach. He is. He didn't really explain to

1180
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: the viewers of the guys that were on the panel

1181
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: the difference between the four three and the three four.

1182
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: Let it go like len, He was like, really, you know,

1183
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm not really a defensive vent. I was only a

1184
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: defensive vent probably on third now when I was outside

1185
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: of the tackle. When I was the three to four,

1186
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: I was inside the tackle and guard. You think these

1187
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: are twenty five year old grievances that he has to

1188
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: keep him that long? Yeah, well, you know what I

1189
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: used to always tell him. You know, he got two

1190
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: hundred secks, right yeah, oh, oh, I know you got

1191
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: he got two hundred secks and tackles in any defensive

1192
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: lineman in the NFL. I was like, well, you gotta

1193
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: you only got ten probably against Richmond Webb and uh

1194
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: Bruce holmstrug zero Right, yeah, you know you gotta eight

1195
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and two against the Colts. What you're talking about,

1196
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm against the Patriots. Right. Yeah, let's talk a little

1197
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: bit about this bill. Seem they're getting to play a

1198
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: pretty big game. This is uh we were talking about

1200
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: this late in the season. Around here are a couple

1201
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: of good teams like this, teams with nine or ten

1202
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: wins that face off the last one back in nineteen

1203

1209
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: you win the month you have a record like this.

1210
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: And with these guys to this point, they're healthy. I

1211
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: think they're pretty much healthy. Yeah, And and they're getting

1212
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: better every week. They're getting better every week. I was

1213
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: talking to Michael High Saturday, came over to the house

1214
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: and were like, say that first drive or whatever. He

1215
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, guess Dallas. I'm like, yeah, we're just

1216
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: kind of trying to figure it out, you know. And

1217
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: I was like, well, y'all did that a couple of

1218
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: times where a team has gotten the ball and drove

1219
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: down the field, and it's like, yeah, but you know,

1220
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: we were trying to give them a different look. And

1221
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: then on some of the players it just didn't work

1222
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: out and then we're just then we stopped. So this

1223
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: team is getting better and better. Man, It's uh yeah,

1224
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: this is their biggest test by far, by by far.

1225
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,959
Speaker 1: When you look at who's Baltimore is beaten this year,

1226
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: They've beaten the top teams. They're beating the top teams

1227
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: and rolled some people, Yeah, and rolled some people and

1228
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: just think, I mean, you get this win at home.

1229
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: I told Murph we might have taken Monday. I think

1230
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: we will have to take Monday off. But these guys

1231
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you, man, these guys are so focused

1232
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: and I like when I hear when I talk to

1233
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: Jerry and Mike and all these guys of nobody really

1234
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: believe in us. But we believe in ourselves. And that's

1235
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: a huge factor in that place to be though. It's

1236
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: a huge factor in locker room. Micae High said, you

1237
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: know what, coach McDermott is doing everything he possibly can

1238
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: to keep those guys. I mean, I would look at

1239
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 1: one player, Ed Oliver, started off the year slow. Yeah,

1240
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: you thought like that typical rookie. Turned it up in

1241
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Yeah, he termed, what do

1242
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: you make Lamar Jackson? You've seen him play the Baltimore quarterback.

1243
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: The way he runs, and can can that be sustained

1244
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: over a long period of time? You know, when you

1245
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: when you start talking about guys like him, I mean

1246
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: it's one guy that you go to and it's Michael Vick.

1247
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: How long did he play? He played? I think he

1248
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: played a pretty long time and not got injured throughout

1249
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: his career, you know with the you know the thing

1250
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: that kept him out a couple of years, but he

1251
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,919
Speaker 1: never really got hurt. And this guy here, man, he's

1252
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,479
Speaker 1: a saying and saying he's better. I think he's better

1253
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: as a run him. I don't think he's better as

1254
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: a passer. Michael Vick had a strong, strong arm, and

1255
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson is not there yet. But the

1256
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: way they're doing, the things that they're doing with him,

1257
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 1: it is, it's been incredible, It really has. But I

1258
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it can you keep this up for

1259
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: ten years, But I tell you it's a different end.

1260
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Did you run three hundred times, like two or three

1261
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: years you had three hundred cars? Yeah, yeah, it's right,

1262
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: and I hold on it doesn't take that much of it,

1263
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: not like it did on him. Laarn Jackson can slide.

1264
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's in the he's you know, he's protected. He's protected,

1265
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: and that nobody cares as Lamar Jackson slides feet first

1266
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: slapped him if he so listen, bro dive in and

1267
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: get that. I don't want to hear that, you know

1268
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: what I mean? So Lamar Jackson can he will be

1269
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: able to mitigate some of the punishment he takes. And

1270
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: particularly since they got you know, a guy like mark

1271
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: Ingram and they got ways to do it. Now, I'm

1272
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna play for seventeen years like Eli

1273
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,919
Speaker 1: Manning and Philip Rivers and those guys, because it will

1274
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: eventually catch it, catch it up to everybody, everyman. That's

1275
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: what the only reason anybody retires, right, So, uh, eventually

1276
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: it'll get him. But I think you can say he's

1277
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: not gonna have a short a peak career like a

1278
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: running back does these days, like a five year, six year,

1279
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 1: seven year career. He may have a decade where he

1280
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: can get it done, or at least an eight years,

1281
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: nine year career. He'll get into that second contract and

1282
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: get deep into it. And so I and I think

1283
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: he can be very productive throughout that, right, I mean,

1284
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: but you know what, even with that, I mean, you're

1285
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: talking about the longevity of having a quarterback like that.

1286
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at our quarterback. He runs Sue,

1287
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: He runs Sue, So I mean, can he sustained that

1288
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: over ten years? He's a lot bigger. I understand that.

1289
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: But and I think he's a better passer than oh

1290
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, definitely. I think he's definitely a better passer.

1291
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 1: What would you do to the family of Mark Jackson

1292
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: if you were advising the Bill's defensive coaches? He just

1293
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: starts smiling. What do you do with that guy? I

1294
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I think everybody's tried everything. Yeah, they're on

1295
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: an eight game winners trick. I mean, hey, look, you

1296
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: gotta stay in your gap. That's it. Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy. Yeah,

1297
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: you can't go for the four. Yeah, I mean you

1298
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: gotta stay there. You have to stay there and watch

1299
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: your gap. And I think the biggest guy two guys

1300
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: in this game is gonna be Edmonds and Matt Malade,

1301
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: two big, strong, fast guys, fast, very fast, And that's

1302
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a key. That's gonna be a key because

1303
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: you look at this great Roman offense. Also gonna be

1304
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: a key off them, um, for the cornerbacks to come up,

1305
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: for the cornerbacks to come up. I mean, it's it's

1306
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna be I think it's gonna be a dog fight too.

1307
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be probably one of the better

1308
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: games of the year. Yeah, yeah, anywhere, not just here,

1309
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,439
Speaker 1: not just here, yeah, anywhere anywhere throughout the Union, although

1310
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: in the San Francisco for and Niners and Ravens games,

1311
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: which that was a great game, even in the weather

1312
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: like that. But even in the weather, it was a

1313
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: great game. That's kind of what you hope for you

1314
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: get against a team like this. You just want to

1315
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: hope you get a chance in the fourth quarter to

1316
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: go out and make a couple of plays. I mean,

1317
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: you want to keep it close. And certainly it's it'd

1318
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: be great if somebody if your team could run off

1319
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: and you know, score thirty five. You know what I mean.

1320
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: But that's what you want. You want your team to compete,

1321
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: and you wanted to measure up and give you themselves

1322
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: a chance to win because you know, the ball bounce

1323
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: is funny. If you even if you play better, you

1324
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: sometimes lose. So that's what you kind of absolutely you

1325
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: look at the quarterback, the running back what they sometimes

1326
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: go out in two or three tight end sets. Yeah,

1327
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's so I'm excited. I wish I could

1328
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: play tomorrow. Yeah. Hey, before I let you go through

1329
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 1: a couple of things off the field that I saw

1330
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: a tweet. Holiday's twenty nineteen, your benefit for the ECC

Speaker 1: a team like the Bills to the to the playoffs

1388
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: that kind of so you got to be kind of

1389
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: proud of the legacy that you did it at both

1390
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: levels college and pro. So many guys can do it

1391
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: at one and not the other. Um, that's kind of

1392
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: cool that and you're still doing You're still relevant and

1393
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: notre dame football broadcasting the broadcasting industry. It's kind of

1394
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: be kind of cool for you to look back and

1395
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: see what a long journey it's been. You know, I'm

1396
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: proud of a lot of things that have happened over

1397
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: the years, no doubt about it. The Buffalo days were

1398
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: so much fun and leading to the play good into

1399
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs and having some success there just such a

1400
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: big part of it was a time period where when

1401
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: I came back to the Bills, it really validated my

1402
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: my NFL career. I had had a handful of good

1403
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: years there, It got to a Pro Bowl, helped lead

1404
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: the team to the playoffs. So, um, yeah, you look

1405
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: back over the years and just so many things to

1406
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: be proud of, but comes from just putting your head

1407
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: down and keep moving forward, you know. You know, Doug,

1408
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: I read Vic Cruci did a great piece with you

1409
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo News over the weekend, and I read

1410
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: it this morning and I had to be reminded. You

1411
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: were like thirty five years old when you came back

1412
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: to the Bills, right, You had basically a full career

1413
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: in the CFL. You were not a young player when

1414
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: you came back to Buffalo. That was what was so frustrating.

1415
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 1: I came back, and you know, we had the years

1416
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: we had there, and everybody looked at me as an

1417
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: athletic quarterback, and I'm thinking, geez, I'm thirty five years old.

1418
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: The last eight years I've been running around the fields

1419
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: up in Canada. I wish you could have seen that

1420
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: that was being an athlete. But what amazed me was

1421
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 1: I figured I'd come back to the NFL. I'll give

1422
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: it a shot and play a couple of years and

1423
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: be done. I wounded up playing eight more years and

1424
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm retired at age forty three. So you know, I

1425
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: am not I no regrets. I'm not going to complain

1426
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: about any other It was awesome. Guy Eric Moulds right

1427
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: there running in the end zone. Got me to a

1428
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl and had a lot of fun in Buffalo. Yeah,

1429
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: I was saying and watching the highlights with you and

1430
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 1: hooking up with Eric Moulds. Didn't you two play basketball

1431
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: together downtown Buffalo and kind of get that chemistry going

1432
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: even before you stepped on a football. Yeah, we did,

1433
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: and it wasn't intentional. We just were hanging out during

1434
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: workout times and you know, you finished your routine over

1435
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: at the stadium and your board in the evening, so

1436
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: we joined and play some hoops and I got a

1437
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:21,520
Speaker 1: real feel for his pure athleticism on a basketball court.

1438
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 1: He probably could have been an NBA bet. A lot

1439
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 1: of guys have the athletic ability to play the next level,

1440
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: like as far as up and down the floor, there,

1441
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 1: leaping ability, all that he had, All that plus a

1442
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: three point shot. I mean he was he could have

1443
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: been a basketball player. Yeah, yeah, I mean you'll tell

1444
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: you'll have. I mean I played with him as well

1445
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: late in my career when he was young. It was

1446
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: just it was fun to watch he had that ability.

1447
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what he was like on a hoops court,

1448
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: on a hoops court. But early in his career, even

1449
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: as a rookie, he played with a kind of an

1450
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: attitude and edge. He was kind of a guy who

1451
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: he didn't care for dB, you know, wanted to slap

1452
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: him in the mouth because he would return the favor.

1453
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: And it was really a nice edge ge, physical wide receiver,

1454
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 1: really a true true number one, Oh, no doubt about.

1455
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: He was a number one receiver. He was if he

1456
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: was one on one, the ball's going his way. Put

1457
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 1: it up. Whether he's open or not, you're putting it up.

1458
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: He was one of those guys that just by body

1459
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:18,640
Speaker 1: aren't He had great hand strength and went up and

1460
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: called football high, caught it in his hands and took

1461
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: it away from people. And you know, even if a

1462
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: guy had outside leverage and he's running the fade, he's

1463
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna fight through the guy's outside shoulder, get up the

1464
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: field and you give him a chance. And he made

1465
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: a lot of place for us. He creates the issues.

1466
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 1: You know, you got to send someone over there to

1467
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: double him. Now, a sudden tight end or back or

1468
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 1: Andre Reid over on the other side. Is someone's gonna

1469
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: be one on one because of what they have to

1470
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: worry about with Eric with Doug flute He's coming back

1471
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. A legend of the game this Sunday when

1472
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: the Bills take down the Baltimore Ravens. One question about

1473
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: your pre Buffalo days And I read this too, and

1474
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,719
Speaker 1: read about it a couple of times. Just what last

1475
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,839
Speaker 1: week you and your friends, your former teammates at Boston College,

1476
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: celebrated the thirty the anniversary of the Flutey touchdown pass

1477
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: to uh Girard Phalan and the closing seconds a big

1478
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: win over Miami. What a treat that must have been

1479
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 1: to go back there and you recreated it on the field, hunh.

1480
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: First of all, it was thirty five years, so we're

1481
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: old as dirt, right. I mean, it just amazes me

1482
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:20,719
Speaker 1: that has been thirty five years. But we had about

1483
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:24,719
Speaker 1: thirty guys come back and just seeing everyone the smiles

1484
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: on faces, and Girard and I decide, we get asking, hey,

1485
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: can you guys go out and throw the ball and

1486
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: recreate it? And I'm like, well, you know, all I

1487
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: gotta do is throw the ball. And I still throw

1488
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit, so that's not a big

1489
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 1: You gotta talk to Girard. Gerard walks over to me,

1490
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 1: he goes, what's the upside of this? Okay, what if

1491
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: I dropped it? So Girard was a nervous wreck about it.

1492
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: His wife Lisa just was beside herself, did not want

1493
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 1: him to do it. You know, you throw the ball afar,

1494
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: he's got a movie. He's gonna break a hit. It's

1495
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: gonna bust me. But we kept it at a distance

1496
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: where I could throw it. He caught the ball fine,

1497
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: and the funny parts the guys ran out of the

1498
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: back of the end zone as he caught it and

1499
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 1: mugged them like they did on the day of the game.

1500
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: And that surprised the daylights out of your Ard. So

1501
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: it's amazing you and always you were always known during

1502
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,640
Speaker 1: your playing days as an athletic quarterback. You mentioned it

1503
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: even when he came back from Canada thirty five. You

1504
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: were a guy who had some wheels. The Bills are

1505
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: playing the Baltimore Ravens. You're gonna be the legend of

1506
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: the game, and they the Ravens come in with Lamar

1507
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Jackson and he's doing things that the NFL really has

1508
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: never seen. I mean, he's a singular talent. What are

1509
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 1: your impressions about the Ravens, their offense, the way they've

1510
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: run it. How far the league's evolved where this kind

1511
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: of thing can happen. Well, Number one, I wish I

1512
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: were playing in the league today instead of twenty years ago.

1513
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: I love the spread stuff. I love these own read stuff,

1514
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: all that type stuff that are things we did in

1515
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: Canada using the quarterback in the true running game, not

1516
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: just there's a quarterback drawl or a scramble. And that's

1517
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 1: what Lamar brings. When you have a design quarterback run

1518
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: Number one, you can't really account if you got a

1519
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: free safety in middlefield, you can't account for him. I'm sorry,

1520
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: but the zone read thing, you're not even blocking certain individual.

1521
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: Your best defensive players don't have to be blocked. He'll

1522
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 1: just make a decision off them. And then you add

1523
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 1: in the fact, I mean he is a dynamic runner

1524
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: you see right there, jump cut and make people miss

1525
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: like a tailback, like the most elusive tailbacks that have

1526
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: ever played in the NFL. But he can throw the football,

1527
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: He's accurate down the field, has a strong arm. We

1528
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: saw that in college. He won the Heisman doing this stuff.

1529
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: And the fact that it's transitioned and that a coaching

1530
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 1: staff puts a system together to excel, to let him

1531
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 1: excel and focus on his talents so he can be comfortable.

1532
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: Is a lot to be said. Again, you spend so

1533
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: much time around college football. Now, is that where the

1534
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: NFL game is going? Is this just a is Lamar

1535
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: Jackson just a one offer? Is the whole game gonna change?

1536
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: You think? I think the whole game has moved in

1537
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: that direction. The Peyton Mannings and Tom Bradys are. They're

1538
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: fewer and far between the guys that are gonna in

1539
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: weekend and week out from the part they're gonna get

1540
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: beat up. It all started with the zone blitzing thing.

1541
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the quarterback had to be able

1542
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: to move a little bit because sometimes they'd overload blitch

1543
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: and the guy's not open. You can't just throw a

1544
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 1: hot you turn around, someone's dropping underneath it. So the

1545
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 1: beginning of athletic quarterback started. Now with all the stuff

1546
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: that's going on in college and it's transitioned to you know,

1547
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: this is what these kids know. They don't know full

1548
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: field reads, they don't know design a universal route, read

1549
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: the coverage and go to the right guy. They they're

1550
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: used to being in the right pass play for the

1551
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,640
Speaker 1: right coverage all the time because all that checked with

1552
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: me at the line of scrimmage, and then the quarterback

1553
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,839
Speaker 1: runs off of it. Is it easier to play quarterback

1554
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL now? I think it's easier to play

1555
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: quarterback right away now than it used to be. I

1556
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: think it's easier to go in and have a handful

1557
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 1: of things that you can be successful at that are

1558
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: really tough to defend. But still the showing hand is,

1559
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: once understand what you do well, they're gonna start taking

1560
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: it away. Can you adjust and win doing the things

1561
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: that they believe are your shortcomings? You know, throwing the

1562
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 1: deep comebacks on the outside. Can that guy stand in

1563
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 1: the pocket and deliver a one on one route on

1564
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 1: the outside or read? Can we confuse them with coverage

1565
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: and make him read the whole thing out? They're gonna

1566
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: take away the quarterback runs eventually, but because you've got

1567
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: sich A threat there, you're gonna be one on one

1568
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: on the outside. Can you make those tight throws do

1569
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: the things that aren't quite as easy. Those are the

1570
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna last longer when once teams adapt

1571
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: to you, can you adapt and win doing things that

1572
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: you don't do well right now. But Doug Flutie is

1573
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 1: coming back as a legend of the game the Sunday

1574
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 1: when the Bills take on the Baltimore Ravens. Doug, you

1575
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: mentioned you have not been back for a game in

1576
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 1: a while. I wonder what memories might go through your

1577
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: head when you walk down that tunnel. What were their

1578
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 1: games you would think about? Maybe the you know, the

1579
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: run into the end zone against the Jaguars, the game

1580
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 1: winning touchdown score. What what game stick out you? What

1581
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: one would stick out to you? Yeah, I think the

1582
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: number one. I think number one is that as a memory,

1583
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 1: that drive we put together. We had no timeouts, We

1584
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: had to go the length of the field and get

1585
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: it in the end zone there on a fourth down run.

1586
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 1: That's I think my number one memory at bill Stadium.

1587
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:18,720
Speaker 1: I think more than that, it's it's the locker room,

1588
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: It's the guys, it's it's the relationships you built in

1589
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 1: those years and just the fond memories of I'll tell

1590
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: you what the Buffalo fans, Uncle Joe's diner, Uncle Joe's dinner,

1591
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 1: right down the strength in the stadium. I must have

1592
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: eaten two meals a day there and people started doing

1593
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: they they would leave things there at the diner for

1594
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: me to sign. People in Buffalo. I love the build.

1595
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: They would get out of their car to stop, like

1596
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 1: knock on the window just to say hi and wish

1597
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: your lock and get back in the car. It to

1598
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 1: have a winner in Buffalo again, to have the team

1599
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: doing as well as they're doing, these fans deserve it.

1600
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: And that's one of my fondest memories. Are the fans

1601
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, no doubt. Well they've also they're also doing

1602
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: the big deal with you coming back. They're rereleasing the

1603
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: Flutey Flakes. They're coming out. You're gonna You're gonna come

1604
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: in and sign some cereal boxes and say hi to

1605
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: people that and it was kind of a cool thing

1606
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 1: back then. But to bring it back it should give

1607
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: you some idea of how long people's memories are correct,

1608
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. When they said that, we were

1609
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 1: talking about doing a twentieth anniversary box and I'm like,

1610
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is a little overkilled guys, enough right,

1611
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: And then the opportunity to come up to Buffalo came

1612
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: up and the whole timing of it started. They tried

1613
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: to hurry the box forward to so that it'll time

1614
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: up with me coming back up. And the reaction has

1615
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: been fantastic. So you know, take a shot, have some fun,

1616
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: reminisce a little bit, and maybe make a little more

1617
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: money for the charity. It's great. And you're gonna be

1618
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: signing boxes right empty boxes here at the stadium on yeah,

1619
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: right now. Like I said, they were talking about doing

1620
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: a twentieth anniversary box right now. They had the boxes

1621
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: printed up, the cereals not out and all that yet.

1622
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: So with a little bit of a rush, they put

1623
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 1: some flats together and I'll just be signing in the box. Cool,

Speaker 1: have we just saw it. That's definitely. That's pretty cool man.

1639
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: You know who Dug Flutie is, right, absolutely, okay, legend

1640
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm laughing, you're come walking in. He got tape on,

1641
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: like four fingers all over on two hands, right, That's okay,

1642
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of the way it is. Yeah, absolutely, especially

1643
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: once you hit training camp, every finger that you've ever

1644
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:50,560
Speaker 1: had injured comes back. And Murphy gets mad at me

1645
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: when I bring it up. But that team is incredibly

1646
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 1: healthy for this time of year. Tie and seck he

1647
01:18:55,520 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: ties a yet right Ties? Yeah. Yeah, what we talk

1648
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: about really has had nothing to do with what's going on,

1649
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 1: but it's it's a really a testament of the program,

1650
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,839
Speaker 1: to the culture, to the guys taking care of themselves,

1651
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 1: having something inside the locker room, the facilities and the

1652
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: staff whatever. Yeah, I think it's a it's a collective effort, right,

1653
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: and it's what you know, coach put us in position

1654
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 1: where you know, we get quality reps, but he's not

1655
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: going to run us into the dirt yet and still

1656
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: get competitive practices. Um, we have a training staff that's

1657
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the best in the NFL, and we

1658
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: have resources that just aren't everywhere. I mean these recovery

1659
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: rooms and the stuff. And then it's part of it's

1660
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: just taking on us in yourself to be a professional.

1661
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: And uh, the truth matters a little bit. It's just

1662
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 1: circumstantial happenstance. Uh, some things you can't avoid, but everything

1663
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: that's controllable, These these people and everyone around here's a

1664
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: great job. Well, it's funny because you never control I mean,

1665
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: you can't keep somebody from accidentally rolling up behind you

1666
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: or you know, running back to blind you know, caught

1667
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 1: from behind by you know whatever. It is so many

1668
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,720
Speaker 1: quirky things happening. Yet you know, here you stand, you

1669
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: got one guy on the injury list and you're in

1670
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: week fourteen of the season. It's got a something's up.

1671
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: But for sure, Yeah, but let's not let's not question too.

1672
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's rare in the NFL, and we're

1673
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: thankful for it. It's more it's our guests Bill Center. Hey, um,

1674
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: we talk about obviously the team every day here. There's

1675
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: an interesting analysis piece. Sharp Football Analysis wrote a thing.

1676
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: I was reading it this morning, the Tale of two

1677
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: seasons for Josh Allen and the Bill's offense. I think

1678
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: they they're talking about the last three games, and you

1679
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: guys have three straight wins. Now, I almost feel like

1680
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: it's overstated though. It wasn't as if things changed automatically

1681
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 1: into Miami games right a couple of weeks. Now, I

1682
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 1: think we it's just later on the season. We've all

1683
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 1: played a little you know, we've all played more together

1684
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 1: collectively as a unit. Um, we're figuring out our identity

1685
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 1: and that evolves throughout the season. Um, you know, we

1686
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:46,720
Speaker 1: still have our core what we know works for us,

1687
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: at the same time figuring out what really works for

1688
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: us as a total as a group. So no, I

1689
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: think things are clicking. But if you ask everyone in here,

1690
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: we still have a lot of work to do. How

1691
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 1: much of it is you're playing no huddle, but it's

1692
01:20:57,560 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 1: not like an up tempo, real up tempo, fast paced

1693
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: no hub. What does that do for you? Um? You

1694
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: know it puts everyone in position to well. First of all,

1695
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: you can only run so many plays out of it, right,

1696
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: so you the game plans kind of shrinks just a

1697
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 1: little bit, even if it's just for yourself. You understand

1698
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: what what can happen on what hash and whatnot. And

1699
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 1: then uh, the communications condensed. Uh. And we've practiced that,

1700
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 1: and we've done it enough now that um we can

1701
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of use you know, the less less verbiage to

1702
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: communicate just as much as we used to. And if

1703
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: you can do it's eleven personnel like the time, right, um,

1704
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 1: which has got to be simpler, gotta be condensed, I

1705
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: would think too long. Uh. You know what you do

1706
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 1: is uh you you kind of know what personnel they

1707
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: might be in. Uh, you know, especially like a team

1708
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: where they have a role ofdeck of different defenses. It

1709
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:46,640
Speaker 1: could condense them just a little bit, you know what

1710
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean. But uh, defenses are ever changing, and uh

1711
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 1: they'll catch on and we'll have to adjust. You know.

1712
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: Half this game, Steve, you know, is just making silent adjustments. Uh.

1713
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 1: And I think our coaches have been doing a great

1714
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 1: job of that, and that's maybe another part of what's

1715
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: going on. That's what I was going to ask you,

1716
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: is that when you do go to that no huddle

1717
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,720
Speaker 1: and they do have to come out and line up,

1718
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: at least show something. Sure, maybe it simplifies it a

1719
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: little bit for them. That Baltimore team is a really

1720
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: multiple defense. They show all kinds of friends. They got

1721
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: a big, deep playbook on that side of the football.

1722
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: Is there any way to get them to maybe throw

1723
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: half of that out? If you go no, huh um, Yeah,

1724
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: that's a great question. They are so multiple, and they're

1725
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: very they're very fundamentally sound what they do, and they'll

1726
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 1: throw a lot at you, and they, you know, kind

1727
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: of much like the Patriots. They have kind of a

1728
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 1: flavor of the week that they'll throw a defense out

1729
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 1: that maybe you haven't seen before. So I can't speak

1730
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: for the fact that who I mean, who knows? But

1731
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:42,760
Speaker 1: it does give us a chance to at least get

1732
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: everyone lined up. And the defense they do line up,

1733
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: they have to line up a little earlier, so it

1734
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: gives us time to communicate. So you know, I say

1735
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: this now, but who knows? Right? You mentioned that in

1736
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 1: game adjustment sideline adjustments on both sides of the ball.

1737
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 1: I think this Bills team has done a really good

1738
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 1: job with that this year. In other words, even defense

1739
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: bills offense. They give up a long scoring drive to

1740
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 1: Dallas last Thursday, and things changed after that. You can't

1741
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 1: wait till I have to make changes, right right? Well,

1742
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: I think it also speaks for resiliency this team. We've

1743
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: been down big and we've been up a few scores,

1744
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: and the signline is just kind of even keeled, you know,

1745
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: a man kind of you know, silent but deadly, and

1746
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:21,640
Speaker 1: the fact that we understand that if we're up, that

1747
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: we can't give teams the opportunity because this is the NFL,

1748
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Any team can beach on

1749
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 1: any given days, and especially these fundamentally sound teams that

1750
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna play in these next few games. And if

1751
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: we're down, we know it works for us. We know

1752
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:36,640
Speaker 1: that we've prepared and we've had competitive practices and uh,

1753
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: and just don't panic and don't be outside yourself, which

1754
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 1: is when guys get in trouble. Did you hear the

1755
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: stat that makes this game unique in NFL history? No, die,

1756
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: probably haven't. The two quarterbacks have rushed combined for more

1757
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,800
Speaker 1: yards than any quarterbacks who faced each other in NFL history.

1758
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: It's remarkable. Lamar's got nine hundred and something of them

1759
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:59,759
Speaker 1: and Josh's got three hundred of them. So yeah, it's

1760
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: a It's two very talented quarterbacks that can extend plays

1761
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: with their legs and uh, you know, very fortunate to

1762
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: having one of them here. And you see, you know,

1763
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson speaks for himself and he's very, very talented

1764
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:13,680
Speaker 1: and it'll be a great challenge for us. What do

1765
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: you like about the playing this game at home where

1766
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 1: you guys have had some success this year, and knowing

1767
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: now that you know the weather's a factor will be

1768
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 1: you with that, sure, I think, well, you just have

1769
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: the home crowd with you. This is a special place

1770
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: to play with the Bills mafia around you and just

1771
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:31,600
Speaker 1: the Bills fan group in this town. And you know,

1772
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: silent count is not so much a factor as it

1773
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: would be in the so able to communicate a little

1774
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: bit better. And I'm sure the Ravens fans will travel well.

1775
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: But there's something to be at home and kind of

1776
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,839
Speaker 1: having that crowd around you, and especially in the defense,

1777
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: to have that crowd noise just affecting the their offense

1778
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: a little bit. You are playing a defense has really

1779
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 1: been effective, really good against tops, top five, top six

1780
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,040
Speaker 1: against the run in the NFL. What what makes you

1781
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: said they were fundamentally sound. Give us a little more

1782
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: in depth about what that looks like. Well, I you

1783
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: look at the Baltimore Ravens franchise the last few decades.

1784
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,679
Speaker 1: That defense has been a staple of that organization, and

1785
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: they just they're coached really well, and they have the

1786
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: players that are just good football players that play hard

1787
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 1: and have that kind of you know that whole AFC

1788
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 1: North kind of plays with a little chip on their shoulder,

1789
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: a little kind of head smashing football, and the Baltimore

1790
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: Ravens exemplify that. And for us, it'll be matching that

1791
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: competitive nature and intensity. Mitch, you come here to Buffalo

1792
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: after four years in Kansas City, where they are accustomed

1793
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: to big games late in the season, fans here are

1794
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 1: not accustomed to that. We look, what is it twenty

1795
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: three years since the last time two teams with these

1796
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:37,600
Speaker 1: records have played this late in the season. This is

1797
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 1: December football, meaningful games is kind of what it's all

1798
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: about in the league. Is no doubt and understanding that

1799
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: this is a big game. But when if you overthink

1800
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: it and you make it too big of a game,

1801
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 1: you're gonna play outside yourself. And I think the thing

1802
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: that I was able to do these last four years

1803
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 1: has learned that when you just be yourself, understand what works,

1804
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,640
Speaker 1: what got you here. Even though we do have an

1805
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,280

1808
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: you don't have to do anything special. You're special for

1809
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: being there, and that's for sure. If you play your game,

Speaker 1: guys here. I told Steve the other day we were

1848
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 1: talking about this. This is my wheelhouse, nineteen seventies, Little

1849
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 1: three basketball. I grew up a Niagara fan because my

1850
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: dad wasn't a lum I was twenty minutes away. I

1851
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: grew up a Calvin Murphy fan. But this, these teams,

1852
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,600
Speaker 1: these are my wheelhouse, Canisius and Niagara, especially back in

1853
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy a couple of NCAA tournament teams. Yeah, that

1854
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 1: Little three has a special place in the history of

1855
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Western New York when when it comes to you know

1856
01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: the fabric of basketball, and it's great. It was great

1857
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: even to see you at our game with Kenesians try

1858
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 1: the other day at the Key Bank Center, because that's

1859
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 1: why we do things like that, is they're really just

1860
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: ump up the fact that, yeah, no, this is still

1861
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: good basketball here. While yes, the landscapes have changed a little,

1862
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 1: but it's fantastic for Western New York in general. And

1863
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a chance to remember those days when

1864
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 1: you commemorate those guys that went to the Final four

1865
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 1: on the field Sunday against the Baltimore Raven. It's gonna

1866
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 1: be kind of cool. You guys are the co game spot.

1867
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:29,479

1868
01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 1: how many of the guys can you get? Have you

1869
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 1: were you able to finally get back and come to this.

1870
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 1: We've got almost everybody coming back. Now. Bob is coming back.

1871
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: We're trying to see if you can make it to

1872
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday because we have a big event

1873
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: on Saturday and he might have a commitment with the

1874
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 1: NBA on Monday back out in Phoenix. So that's the

1875
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: one we're waiting on to see if we can do that.

1876
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,679
Speaker 1: But other than that, we pretty much have everybody coming back,

1877
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 1: which is fantastic because once again, some of these players

1878
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,599
Speaker 1: they're Western New York players, and you know, we talk

1879
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: about this all the time with when we were planning

1880
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:04,519
Speaker 1: this whole thing. Is this whole commemorative hundred seasons and

1881
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 1: the seventy team that went to the Final four has

1882
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 1: been in the same bottomentry. This is Western New York.

1883
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 1: This is the region type thing. So we always have

1884
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:14,000
Speaker 1: to keep that in mind. So we're hoping we could

1885
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 1: get it there. But coming out with the Bagoula support

1886
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:20,360
Speaker 1: and really honoring these guys that the game is absolutely tremendous. Boy,

1887
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:23,720
Speaker 1: we couldn't have been more excited for this weekend. Same Bondaventry,

1888
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 1: the official game week sponsor as the Bills, host of Ravens,

1889
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 1: and Bonnomentr's the official education partner of the Buffalo Bills. Bob,

1890
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 1: of course, Bob Lanier, the basketball Hall of Famer who,

1891
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:35,719
Speaker 1: as Tim said, is going to be here this weekend

1892
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:37,800
Speaker 1: at least at some of the events. And I will

1893
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:40,920
Speaker 1: tell you this, Tim, we're watching some of the video

1894
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:44,639
Speaker 1: on our MSG feed about Bob Lanier, a legitimate Hall

1895
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 1: of Fame player, and I'll never forget. I think it

1896
01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 1: had to be the same year in nineteen seventy senior

1897
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 1: year for both Lanier and Niagara's all American Calvin Murphy

1898
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 1: and Larry we See and Frank Layton had those two

1899
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 1: jump center to start the game at the odds. So

1900
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:01,679
Speaker 1: six eleven Bob Lanier jumping center against five nine Calvin Murphy.

1901
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 1: I won't say Calvin won the tip, but it was

1902
01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 1: it was a sight to see. It was amazing that,

1903
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, that just goes back that history and you know,

1904
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: you used to fill the odd with those games, and

1905
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 1: to me, that's something we're trying to recapture too. And

1906
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 1: by adding you be actually into the Big Four now,

1907
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of trying to bring that around. I do think,

1908
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, I look at those things and while I'm

1909
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 1: watching the video as you're as you're putting it up,

1910
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:28,160
Speaker 1: and there's just some of these shots that they're fantastic

1911
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 1: and the guys coming back and they look at that,

1912
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 1: and we had to fill back uniforms for the Keynesians game,

1913
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 1: but we'll be wearing them again and people love them.

1914
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 1: You know, they're they were clamoring they want to have

1915
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: back there, and it's like it's great because it brings

1916
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 1: up these feelings of what the great times it was

1917
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 1: back in the day. It wasn't just linear either. And

1918
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,599
Speaker 1: you've got other members including some big names Matt Can't,

1919
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 1: Billy Calbo. These were important players in the history of

1920
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:54,640
Speaker 1: Botta Metro basketball, right, That's right. Billy Calbow was the

1921
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 1: point guard for that team. You know Dale t. Bass

1922
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 1: coming out and from Western New York. He played, you

1923
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 1: know Paul Often who came just over the border in Pennsylvania.

1924
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:06,520
Speaker 1: You had so many the regional players on this team.

1925
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 1: That's why we look at this and say, this is

1926
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 1: a big celebration from Western New York basketball, not just

1927
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,559
Speaker 1: Saint Bonaventure best. And I would think when that group

1928
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:15,760
Speaker 1: takes the field Sunday before kickoff, they're going to get

1929
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:18,120
Speaker 1: a warm response. It was. It was Western New York

1930
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: sports history when they went to the Final four and

1931
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 1: Lanier gets hurt against Villanova right before the final four.

1932
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:25,679
Speaker 1: But that was Western New York sports history some fifty

1933
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 1: years ago. Yes, it well as they and you know,

1934
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:33,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't born. I was born that year. Okay, might

1935
01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: look a little bit older now, that's okay, but I

1936
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,960
Speaker 1: was born that year. And to hear the stories and

1937
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 1: everybody I go to the connection. I grew up all

1938
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 1: in Island at the connection with Saint Bonaventure basketball from

1939
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 1: the city and everything coming up and then having the

1940
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:48,760
Speaker 1: players the Stiff Brothers come up from from Brooklyn and

1941
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 1: all that connection. It's it's perfect. And so you look

1942
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 1: at everything we're going to celebrate because obviously were honoring

1943
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 1: the seventy team at the Bills game, and we're also

1944
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 1: we have a big dinner the night before, right after

1945
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 1: our game with Hofstra at two thirty, and we're honoring

1946
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 1: the all time team, the top twenty players of all

1947
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 1: time too. I mean, you've got a lot of great

1948
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 1: names on here and that history of basketball here. Sometimes

1949
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 1: you have to remember that it takes a little dimps

1950
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 1: now and then, but for the most part, Same Bonavential

1951
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 1: basketball has been up here. Yeah, and it's been very successful.

1952
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 1: And that's what we're really celebrating is the history on

1953
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,560
Speaker 1: this and what it brings to the region. And of

1954
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:28,200
Speaker 1: course the history recent history is good too. Mark Schmidt

1955
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 1: and his thirteenth season Bondies are four and four just

1956
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 1: want a tournament in Boca Raton, Florida. I mean, he's

1957
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: it's different here, a different landscaping college basketball. But the

1958
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:40,160
Speaker 1: Bondies have remain relevant, haven't they yeah, they have. And

1959
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 1: Mark has done an unbelievable job. We're so lucky to

1960
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:46,160
Speaker 1: have him here and that he fits everything that same

1961
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:48,680
Speaker 1: bond Defentier stands for. And what he's able to do

1962
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:51,800
Speaker 1: is find these kids, bring him, bring him along. They're

1963
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 1: not one and dunce. They take four years, He develops

1964
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 1: them and they go. And you know, this year's team,

1965
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,680
Speaker 1: while we're four and four, we're young, and of our

1966
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:03,720
Speaker 1: players it's six sophomores, four freshmen, so and then you

1967
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: have two juniors in the senior and so you look

1968
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: at that and say, yeah, the scriptures right, they're gonna

1969
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:10,960
Speaker 1: be a little bumps in the road. But we got

1970
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 1: a lot of talent in here, and the future is bright,

1971
01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 1: I believe for us in the future, as well as

1972
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,639
Speaker 1: the other teams in the Big Four. So I think

1973
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 1: all of that together we could lift up college basketball

1974
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 1: in the region and really come in and fill a

1975
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 1: little bit of a void that's been missing a little

1976
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 1: bit lately. What can you What are some of the

2104
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,479
Speaker 1: was a that was a busy one o'clock hour, Steve, Right,

2105
01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 1: can I just recap what we did at one? Yeah? Yeah,

2106
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 1: go ahead. There We had like four guests or something,

2107
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 1: Dermont Thomas Hall of Famer, Doug Flutie was sensational, Mitch

2108
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:42,960
Speaker 1: Morse really good, and then Tim Kenney from Saint Potter.

2109
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 1: That'll keep you on your toes, right doing those four

2110
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,560
Speaker 1: days like that were busy. Yeah, settle down into a

2111
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 1: more comfortable pace for a couple of old guys, me

2112
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:53,679
Speaker 1: and Steve. That's right, we'll just go with a former

2113
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,720
Speaker 1: Baltimore raven player, Dennis Pitt, a tight end who will

2114
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 1: come on. He's on part of their broadcasting slow down.

2115
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:03,479
Speaker 1: Because we had we'd to hustle our guests through in

2116
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 1: the We just thank you very much, Hall of Famer. Now,

2117
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:07,720
Speaker 1: we got Mitch MOR's coming up, we got a high

2118
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:09,720
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner coming up. But we do want to

2119
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:12,320
Speaker 1: get back to your thoughts on the game, listeners, viewers,

2120
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:15,959
Speaker 1: the game this Sunday, and look, the Bills are underdogs

2121
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,880
Speaker 1: at home. Underdogs. We get that. But we're wondering is

2122
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:21,560
Speaker 1: there a surprise contributor that you could see from the

2123
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Here's our twitter pole question. Who would be

2124
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,719
Speaker 1: the surprise contributor to a Buffalo Bills win over the Ravens.

2125
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:29,720
Speaker 1: You know that Josh Allen will have to play well.

2126
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 1: You know the defense in general will have to play well.

2127
01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 1: You're looking for Trey White, who's been a contributor all

2128
01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 1: season long, Devin Singletary, John Brown. But who might surprise

2129
01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:40,479
Speaker 1: you and be a major contributor if the Bills should

2130
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 1: beat the Ravens. Let's talk about it. Give us a

2131
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:45,080
Speaker 1: call eight oh three h five fifty outside Buffalo toll

2132
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2133
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:50,040
Speaker 1: Send it a tweet. We're gonna get back to the

2134
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:51,680
Speaker 1: tweet sheet in a moment, and we'd love to hear

2135
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:53,840
Speaker 1: your voice on the air. The Twitter poll's got more

2136
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 1: than twelve hundred votes in already. Who would be a

2137
01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:58,920
Speaker 1: surprise contributor and a Bills win over the Ravens. Forty

2138
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:03,000
Speaker 1: six percent of you that's staying fairly constant. Forty six

2139
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:06,200
Speaker 1: percent say the tight end Dawson Knox, All right, I'll

2140
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 1: sign up for that, twenty one percent say other you

2141
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 1: got somebody else in mind, seventeen percent say special team

2142
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: and return special to Sanre Roberts, and only sixteen percent

2143
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 1: say safety Micah Hyde. Maybe he's not a surprise. Maybe

2144
01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:20,679
Speaker 1: don't think he'd be a major contributor. I do. Maybe

2145
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 1: it's not a surprise, but I think Micah Hyde has

2146
01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 1: a big role to play in this game on Sunday

2147
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 1: your thoughts, Yeah, I think. And there's ways to conjure

2148
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 1: up anything you want. We've got people all away from

2149
01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:35,839
Speaker 1: going Lorenzo Alexander, we got Robert Foster, we got Isaiah McKenzie.

2150
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you go down the list, and I think defensively,

2151
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: and I said this earlier in the show, I think

2152
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 1: it's going to take a team effort to stop the

2153
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:45,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. So if if there's no turnovers or no

2154
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:48,200
Speaker 1: singular play that makes a difference in the game, sack, strip,

2155
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: fumble return for a touchdown kind of thing, it's gonna

2156
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:54,320
Speaker 1: be eleven guys doing their one eleventh of their job

2157
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:57,680
Speaker 1: and stopping the Ravens as a group. But if you

2158
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,160
Speaker 1: do get somebody who emerges, I think it's gonna come

2159
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,599
Speaker 1: down to making that play that's a turnover or an

2160
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:05,639
Speaker 1: interception or pick six or, like I said, a fumble

2161
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:10,599
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown. It's offensively, it's much easier to say, Okay,

2162
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a close game, can somebody make one

2163
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:17,240
Speaker 1: spectacular play, and Isaiah McKenzie or Robert Foster or even

2164
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:20,439
Speaker 1: to Devin you know, Devin Singletary, Josh Allen. Obviously, those

2165
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:22,839
Speaker 1: guys are a little easier to conjure up a scenario

2166
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:24,960
Speaker 1: where they snap off a long run or a good throw.

2167
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:28,760
Speaker 1: But Dawson Knox not so much. You know, it's a

2168
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: little more surprising. So I think it's been fun for

2169
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:32,960
Speaker 1: us to read some of the tweets about people who

2170
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,960
Speaker 1: are coming up with their own scenarios about who's gonna

2171
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 1: do this for the Buffalo bills if if they can

2172
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:39,479
Speaker 1: indeed get it done against this group. Let's take a

2173
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:41,920
Speaker 1: call on this issue, Keith and Lockboart. Go ahead, Keith,

2174
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this, Ali don love the show,

2175
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 1: all right, I'm just calling in. I'm want to get

2176
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:50,320
Speaker 1: your opinion on what is the best way that we

2177
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 1: can stop this high powered Ravens offense. I mean, obviously,

2178
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, you're gonna have to have a spy on

2179
01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 1: him the entire game. I'm wondering what linebacker or maybe

2180
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:02,960
Speaker 1: even would be fit perfectly for that. I mean, he's

2181
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:06,160
Speaker 1: got two main weapons he uses. He's got Mark Andrews

2182
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,800
Speaker 1: a tight end. I mean, what what whit linebacker do

2183
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 1: you think he's best matching up against him? And do

2184
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:14,240
Speaker 1: you just have train weight shut down Hollywood Brown the

2185
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 1: entire game? I don't know. Um, do you have to

2186
01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:18,840
Speaker 1: have a spy on Lamar Jacksons? I think he got

2187
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 1: eleven spies on Lamar Passon. I think everything starts with

2188
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 1: front eight. Front nine guys are all looking at Lamar.

2189
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 1: I think the difference isn't you heard some of the

2190
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 1: players in the interviews and the sound bites we've played

2191
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 1: say it's all about being disciplined and having your eyes

2192
01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:36,760
Speaker 1: correct and looking at the right things. Not every play

2193
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:39,640
Speaker 1: is there for every defender to make the tackle, and

2194
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 1: what happens is defenders start to fool themselves into thinking, Okay,

2195
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go make this play well by trying to

2196
01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 1: make a play that's not there's to make, they're vulnerable

2197
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: in the spot they vacated, and that leads to a

2198
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 1: lot of plays that The Baltimore Ravens offense is predicated

2199
01:44:58,240 --> 01:45:05,400
Speaker 1: on your defenses urgency to make a play, and that

2200
01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:09,479
Speaker 1: means if you overcommit to stop mark Ingram Lamar Jackson,

2201
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,679
Speaker 1: all of a sudden has the ball not mark Ingram

2202
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 1: and you're sitting there tackling a guy without the football.

2203
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's pretty simple. I think you need

2204
01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:20,439
Speaker 1: eleven guys to stop the Baltimore Ravens. One spy in

2205
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is not going to do it. Let's take

2206
01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:27,040
Speaker 1: a call here from Tiffany in Buffalo. Hello Tiffany, Hello,

2207
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 1: Hi guys, doing good good. I'm call me crazy. I'm

2208
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 1: a Bills fan. I truly believe that if we play

2209
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 1: within ourselves as a Buffalo Bill team, as a team unit,

2210
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 1: because we want to take a team unit to beat

2211
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:45,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson by himself, right, But it's the team steps

2212
01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:47,880
Speaker 1: up and plays like they're supposed to play, and we

2213
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: know they can't. We've seen him play. We've seen him

2214
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 1: play in Denver, We've seen him play Miami twice. They

2215
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 1: changed it up. But if we play within ourselves, I

2216
01:45:57,840 --> 01:46:01,360
Speaker 1: truly believe we can beat the Ravens. I do. All Right,

2217
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: what do you make of that eight game win streak

2218
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:06,679
Speaker 1: Baltimore has. That means something? No, No, absolutely, that means something.

2219
01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:09,360
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think I don't want this

2220
01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 1: game to be bigger than you know, bigger than what

2221
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:15,080
Speaker 1: it is. Yes, it's a big game, but I know

2222
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:17,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills will, you know, will sit back and

2223
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 1: say this is just another game. And if and if

2224
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 1: they take that mindset, I truly believe that they can

2225
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:25,240
Speaker 1: do it. I think you're right about that, And I

2226
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 1: got a little bit of that for Mitch Mars today. Steve.

2227
01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about the Yeah, it's a big game, Um,

2228
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:32,200
Speaker 1: but we keep doing what we Yeah, we gotta do

2229
01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 1: what we do. We got we can't make it more

2230
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 1: than it is either, because then, um, you start to

2231
01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 1: over commit, you start to do crazy things on the field,

2232
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 1: start to do things that are different than what got

2233
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 1: you to a nine and three record. You do things differently,

2234
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 1: you start thinking about the game differently, and you start

2235
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: acting differently and playing differently, and you've got nine wins.

2236
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:52,880
Speaker 1: Don't do that, you know, do what you've been doing

2237
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:56,400
Speaker 1: and do it well. Certainly the game plan will be

2238
01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,040
Speaker 1: different for this team, But do this game plan and

2239
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 1: like you've done those other nine game plans that cause

2240
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:05,240
Speaker 1: you to win, you know. So that's what you gotta remember.

2241
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:07,720
Speaker 1: And I think, Tiffany, I think you're right, and let's

2242
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 1: face out eat the Baltimore Ravens will tell you what

2243
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:13,800
Speaker 1: this and with with sincere hearts that yeah, the Bills

2244
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:15,439
Speaker 1: could beat this. You know, if the Bills play well.

2245
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 1: They're a handful. The Ravens aren't coming in here to

2246
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 1: think looking like you know, they know the Bills are good.

2247
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:23,880
Speaker 1: They can see it for themselves. Uh, this is gonna

2248
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:25,680
Speaker 1: be a good football game for the Ravens as well

2249
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 1: as the Bills. And certainly the Bills could win it

2250
01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 1: if they play well. And the Ravens will be the

2251
01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:33,800
Speaker 1: first people to tell you that. So, um, it's I

2252
01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:36,200
Speaker 1: think this is a game where the team that plays

2253
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:38,360
Speaker 1: closest to their best is gonna win, and that's what

2254
01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 1: you're always striving for. Yeah, Ravens are well coached, as

2255
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:43,519
Speaker 1: are the Bills. I mean, I think the world of

2256
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:46,680
Speaker 1: Greg Roman. We've talked about him a lot this week. Um,

2257
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 1: what's his name, John Harball? John Harball of course obviously

2258
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 1: is a good he's kind of he's kind of one

2259
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:54,720
Speaker 1: of those guys he's a special teams expert, but he's

2260
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 1: more he's a real head coach right, manages the whole team.

2261
01:47:58,400 --> 01:48:01,320
Speaker 1: And Martindale, Wink. Martindale is a really good defensive coordinator.

2262
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:03,720
Speaker 1: I think earning a lot more respect this year, in

2263
01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:05,880
Speaker 1: particular because of what he's done with that defense. Yeah,

2264
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:07,960
Speaker 1: last year was his first year with that defense, and

2265
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:11,679
Speaker 1: he really did some good things. He Actually think about

2266
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:14,000
Speaker 1: the history of the raven defense, I mean it's gone

2267
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:15,880
Speaker 1: through a lot, you know, Mark, all the way back

2268
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 1: to Rex Ryan and Marvin Lewis was their defensive coordinator

2269
01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 1: when they were so good with Ray Lewis and Ed

2270
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:26,839
Speaker 1: Reid and those guys, they had a ton of great years,

2271
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 1: a lot of great years with that defense. Wink Martindale

2272
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 1: came in and he tore it up. He stripped it down,

2273
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:37,679
Speaker 1: got back to what their base things were, and started

2274
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:40,000
Speaker 1: to build it slowly again from the ground up to

2275
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 1: help the young guys get to the point where Ed

2276
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:45,600
Speaker 1: Reid and Ray Lewis were and it has worked. With

2277
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 1: flying Colors, they have been a dominant defense at times

2278
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:50,720
Speaker 1: this season. He's gotten a lot of kudos and deservedly so.

2279
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 1: So they're hitting on all cylinders, this Baltimore Ravens team,

2280
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 1: and you will have to play your best to beat them.

2281
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 1: A surprise contributor who you got for the Bills? David

2282
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 1: orchard Park on the line. Hello, Dave, welcome, Hey, how

2284
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:10,000
Speaker 1: player is going to be Ray Ray McLeod for running

2285
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:14,679
Speaker 1: the scout team quarterback late field ball. What do you think, guys?

2286
01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 1: That's hey, I can see it. You think Ray Ray's

2287
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:20,880
Speaker 1: active on the field Sunday you count for him to

2288
01:49:20,920 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 1: make it. I think you're saying a surprise contributor as

2289
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,800
Speaker 1: his done this week, he's done the week. Yeah, is

2290
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 1: that right, Dave? I believe so right? Yeah? Yeah. We

2291
01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:31,800
Speaker 1: used to do it. We used to give guys game

2292
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:33,439
Speaker 1: balls for the looks they gave us during the week,

2293
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 1: no question about it. Yeah, it helps. It really helps.

2294
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:38,800
Speaker 1: A guy who really sells out and tries to do

2295
01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:41,599
Speaker 1: his best and tries to beat you in practice every

2296
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:46,280
Speaker 1: day makes you better. And guys appreciate that, and coaches

2297
01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:49,240
Speaker 1: do too. And we had given we had given game balls.

2298
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:52,240
Speaker 1: We gave Mark Pike a game ball for imitating Carl

2299
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:55,840
Speaker 1: Mecklenburg for a week, you know, the old Denver linebacker

2300
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 1: who was kind of a hybrid guy. And they gave

2301
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,679
Speaker 1: Piker a game ball for it. So it does happen,

2302
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:04,599
Speaker 1: and it's a And that's an astute observation by Dave.

2303
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 1: I gotta tip my hat to you. Most people don't

2304
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: realize the contribution those guys can make. And houshkillate field goal.

2305
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 1: I'll take it, take it. Thanks. One more caller. You're

2311
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, Sean. Well, I think the big contributor for

2312
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's winning over the Multimo Ravens is going

2313
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:41,639
Speaker 1: to be Single Terry. He is a beast and I see.

2314
01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: I think he's awesome, and I think he's getting better

2315
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:46,600
Speaker 1: week by week, and I think he's going to be

2316
01:50:46,640 --> 01:50:49,480
Speaker 1: a big contributor. And I'd also like to say congradulation

2317
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:51,639
Speaker 1: to the best special teams player. I don't the play

2318
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. They're the Hall of Fame now, man me,

2319
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: thank you very much, you're thanks Sean. I thought he

2320
01:50:58,120 --> 01:51:00,040
Speaker 1: was going to say Mark Pike for a minute. I

2321
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:02,760
Speaker 1: just meant there, right, you don't like this, but I do.

2322
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:06,760
Speaker 1: There's a there's a buzz building about your Hall of

2323
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 1: Fame candidacy. That's all I'm gonna say. Yeah, between the

2324
01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:12,600
Speaker 1: two of us, Well, yeah, I think there is. I

2325
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 1: think there is. I'm sorry, I think there is. Um, yeah,

2326
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:17,560
Speaker 1: it's Devin Secletary has a major role to play. I

2327
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:20,160
Speaker 1: don't know if it'd surprise anybody, but um, he has

2328
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:21,600
Speaker 1: a major role to play this week. And I do

2329
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 1: think based on what I saw on a couple of games,

2330
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:26,800
Speaker 1: including the Niners, the Ravens. If you're gonna run against

2331
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:29,040
Speaker 1: him there, I think there's sixth ranked rushing defense in

2332
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 1: the league. Run it outside, you know, go outside. I

2333
01:51:31,560 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: think that's the way to go. Yeah, And the coach.

2334
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 1: The key to this is the coaching staff, the scouting staff,

2335
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 1: the analytics staff have scoured all the film that you

2336
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:44,920
Speaker 1: can get on the Baltimore Ravens on Lamar Jackson, what

2337
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 1: they've done, all the things they're doing defensively and offensively.

2338
01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:52,960
Speaker 1: And you've got to kind of stack your guys what

2339
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:56,040
Speaker 1: you've done and what you see them doing against other

2340
01:51:56,120 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 1: players that you know or have played against, and how

2341
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 1: they stack up up against those players and you and

2342
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 1: you kind of project your own talent level and your

2343
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 1: own roster onto those guys, and you got to pick

2344
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 1: your spots. And it comes down to the players on

2345
01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:12,559
Speaker 1: the field doing exactly what they're told when they're told

2346
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 1: to do it, and the coaching staff going after the

2347
01:52:16,200 --> 01:52:19,639
Speaker 1: weaknesses of the Baltimore defense and attacking and the ball

2348
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:23,800
Speaker 1: and accepting the attack of the Baltimore offense and kind

2349
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 1: of hemming it in and being ready for it and

2350
01:52:26,479 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 1: forcing them to do things they're uncomfortable doing as a defense.

2351
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:32,880
Speaker 1: So it comes down to execution. This is these are

2352
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:35,720
Speaker 1: two really good football teams, and it's so that's why

2353
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 1: this game is so so fun to talk about. It's

2354
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 1: you got the MVP so far in the league. Who

2355
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,200
Speaker 1: has There's been other guys in the conversation, right, I

2356
01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:48,280
Speaker 1: mean we've seen some, right, but other guys have fallen away,

2357
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 1: and now you know Lamar Jackson standing there kind of

2358
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 1: by himself at the moment um. Certainly Russell Wilson will

2359
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:57,680
Speaker 1: be in the conversation. There'll be some other guys that

2360
01:52:57,960 --> 01:52:59,760
Speaker 1: but right now I can't think of off the top

2361
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:01,559
Speaker 1: of my head who was who it was? Maybe Christian

2362
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:04,640
Speaker 1: McCaffrey was in the conversation, you know, not he's not

2363
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:08,800
Speaker 1: there anymore. It's it's crazy, but it's fun to think

2364
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:12,160
Speaker 1: about this game and getting a shot at what well,

2365
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:16,560
Speaker 1: right now, the top team in the NFL. They just

2366
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:20,439
Speaker 1: beat the best team in the nfcum and you're gonna

2367
01:53:20,439 --> 01:53:21,960
Speaker 1: get your shot at him. It's kind of fun to see.

2368
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:24,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about this game, talk more about

2369
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens in the next segment here the show, Dennis

2377
01:53:57,479 --> 01:53:59,720
Speaker 1: Bills and Ravens. One o'clock Sunday here on Archerd Park.

2378
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:02,000
Speaker 1: Get more on the Ravens. So we went to an expert,

2379
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:04,880
Speaker 1: former Ravens tight end for seven years, played with the

2380
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:07,760
Speaker 1: Ravens Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl forty seven and now

2381
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of radio work for the Baltimore Ravens.

2382
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:12,559
Speaker 1: Happy to have Dennis Pitta on the line with us. Hello, Dennis,

2383
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:14,760
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Taker up here in Buffalo. We were

2384
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:17,840
Speaker 1: just talking. Somebody mentioned, boy, the Ravens have a great

2385
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 1: history of good tight ends. Todd Heap, yourself, Shannon Sharpe

2386
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:24,720
Speaker 1: played there, and my partner Steve here basically indicated this

2387
01:54:24,800 --> 01:54:28,720
Speaker 1: because Ozzie knewso put all those teams together, right, Yeah,

2388
01:54:28,800 --> 01:54:31,479
Speaker 1: I mean anytime you have a Hall of Fame tight

2389
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:34,160
Speaker 1: end as your GM, they know the importance of the position.

2390
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:37,680
Speaker 1: And Ozzie is a guy who knows the position well

2391
01:54:37,760 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 1: and has always drafted the position well. I think and listen.

2392
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,240
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago they drafted both Marky Andrews

2393
01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:46,800
Speaker 1: and Hayden Hurst in the first end and third rounds.

2394
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:49,120
Speaker 1: And when I was drafted, we drafted another tight end

2395
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:51,320
Speaker 1: just around ahead of me Ed Dixon and myself. And

2396
01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:53,760
Speaker 1: so he likes to get tight ends and bunches, and

2397
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:58,360
Speaker 1: they have another couple of good ones there right now. Yeah,

2398
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 1: they must be coming in hand, because you gotta put

2399
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:04,040
Speaker 1: your big boy pads on when you're running in this offense.

2400
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 1: Explain the role of these tight ends in this offense

2401
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 1: and how they may be different from everybody else. Well,

2402
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:12,320
Speaker 1: the ten ends have a big role in this offense,

2403
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 1: and really there's three of them. They play a lot

2404
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 1: the two I mentioned then, maybe the most valuable out

2405
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 1: of all of them is Nick Boyle, and he's kind

2406
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 1: of the unsung hero of this offense because he's a

2407
01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:24,640
Speaker 1: guy who can do so much for them. He moves

2408
01:55:24,640 --> 01:55:26,680
Speaker 1: around a lot, he's an excellent blocker at the line

2409
01:55:26,720 --> 01:55:31,120
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and an underrated pass catcher in my opinion

2410
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:33,880
Speaker 1: as well. And so he's a guy who gets the

2411
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:35,840
Speaker 1: most snaps out of those three. But you'll see at

2412
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:37,640
Speaker 1: times two of them on the field, even three of

2413
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:40,400
Speaker 1: them are on the field altogether, and they do a

2414
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:43,600
Speaker 1: variety of different roles. They're involved in a lot of

2415
01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:47,120
Speaker 1: the misdirection, going back and cutting off blocks on the backside,

2416
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:49,640
Speaker 1: leading the front side on runs, and doing so many

2417
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 1: different things that gives defenses fits. And so anytime an

2418
01:55:53,840 --> 01:55:56,760
Speaker 1: offense can employ those kind of tight ends, it's trouble

2419
01:55:56,840 --> 01:55:58,760
Speaker 1: for a defense because the defense according has to sit

2420
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:01,280
Speaker 1: and think well to put my base personnel with a

2421
01:56:01,320 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 1: few extra linebackers on the field to combat their heavy personnel,

2422
01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:06,760
Speaker 1: or am I going to put more of a sub

2423
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 1: package on the field with more dbs to try and

2424
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,360
Speaker 1: cover when they spread out and throw the ball a

2425
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 1: little bit more? So it gives defensive coordinators fits for sure, right, Yes,

2426
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:17,600
Speaker 1: I mentioned and do my partner here Steve the other

2427
01:56:17,720 --> 01:56:20,440
Speaker 1: day that yeah, those guys catch passes, one hundred and

2428
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:24,000
Speaker 1: one catches between among the three of them. But what

2429
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 1: really I think is most impressive as the way they

2430
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,440
Speaker 1: all block and especially you know, the guy that you mentioned,

2431
01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:32,000
Speaker 1: Nick Boyle, is a really good blocker, and they're an

2432
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:36,480
Speaker 1: important part of the number one rushing attack in the NFL. Huh. Yeah,

2433
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 1: they have to be able to be good blockers in

2434
01:56:38,320 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 1: an offense because listen, this is the number one rushing

2435
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:43,280
Speaker 1: attack in the NFL, and it's not really close. I

2436
01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:45,520
Speaker 1: think that the next closest team is fifty or sixty

2437
01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:47,960
Speaker 1: yards per game behind them, And so this is a

2438
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 1: team averaging over two hundred and seven yards per game

2439
01:56:51,160 --> 01:56:53,920
Speaker 1: and the tight ends are a large, a large part

2440
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:56,200
Speaker 1: of that, and they have to be able to block

2441
01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:57,720
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. They have to be able

2442
01:56:57,760 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 1: to move and pull and do all kinds of different things.

2443
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:03,880
Speaker 1: But in this run scheme, they're asked to do a

2444
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 1: lot and not to mention, be able to get downfield

2445
01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 1: and create mismatches down the field against linebackers and safeties,

2446
01:57:10,600 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 1: and so they're asked to do a lot. It's a

2447
01:57:12,480 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 1: it's a really fun offense to be a part of

2448
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:16,360
Speaker 1: as a tight end. I you know, shoot, I wish

2449
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:19,600
Speaker 1: I was still playing and able to get some of

2450
01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 1: the looks in the passing game that they get. Yeah,

2451
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:24,480
Speaker 1: It's interesting to think about because so many times fans

2452
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 1: think about creative offensive coordinators to being the guys with

2453
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 1: the triple reverse pass. This running game of the Ravens

2454
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:34,200
Speaker 1: is really creative as well. The way they use their

2455
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:36,080
Speaker 1: tight ends, the way they use motions and shifts and

2456
01:57:36,200 --> 01:57:40,840
Speaker 1: misdirection plus good old fashioned muscle. They do a lot

2457
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:42,840
Speaker 1: of things in their running game that nobody else is

2458
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 1: really equipped to do. Yeah, and it's a lot of misdirection,

2459
01:57:47,560 --> 01:57:50,760
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, a lot of the zone read RPO

2460
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:53,880
Speaker 1: type stuff, a lot of those college concepts that they've

2461
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:58,320
Speaker 1: really brought into their system. And listen, you know, you

2462
01:57:58,600 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 1: can talk all you want about Lamarch Jackson and the

2463
01:58:00,640 --> 01:58:02,840
Speaker 1: value that he adds to that offense and shoot, I mean,

2464
01:58:02,880 --> 01:58:09,320
Speaker 1: he's having an MVP caliber season without doubt, but really

2465
01:58:09,440 --> 01:58:12,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's the fact that they're not afraid to

2466
01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 1: let him run the ball as much as he wants,

2467
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:17,879
Speaker 1: and they're gonna play to his strengths. They're gonna utilize

2468
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:22,320
Speaker 1: him in and allow him to be Lamar Jackson. And

2469
01:58:22,400 --> 01:58:23,960
Speaker 1: if that means he's got to run the ball twenty

2470
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:25,880
Speaker 1: times a game, or if he can throw the ball

2471
01:58:25,920 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more than than run in a game.

2472
01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:29,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna do whatever they have to do to win

2473
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:32,240
Speaker 1: the game, and they don't fear, you know so much.

2474
01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:36,440
Speaker 1: You see so much around the league people being paralyzed

2475
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:37,480
Speaker 1: by the fact that, oh, we don't want to get

2476
01:58:37,480 --> 01:58:39,000
Speaker 1: our quarterback er. We don't want to run him so

2477
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:42,080
Speaker 1: much because you know, we don't know how long he'll

2478
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:45,720
Speaker 1: last in a season or throughout his career. But listen,

2479
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:49,320
Speaker 1: nothing's guaranteed in this league. Nothing's guaranteed beyond this game.

2480
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 1: And so you go into the game, you try to

2481
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:53,880
Speaker 1: win it, and whatever happens happens. With Dennis Spitta, who

2482
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 1: played ten end for the Ravens not part of their

2483
01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 1: radio team there, and you bring up an interesting point

2484
01:58:59,320 --> 01:59:02,320
Speaker 1: about this Even's team. Was there like a revelation at

2485
01:59:02,360 --> 01:59:05,240
Speaker 1: some point in the offseason, maybe or maybe even back

2486
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:08,600
Speaker 1: to last year Lamar Jackson starts the final seven games,

2487
01:59:08,920 --> 01:59:11,600
Speaker 1: somebody there had to come to the realization like, this

2488
01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 1: is our guy. We're moving on from Flacco, this is

2489
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:16,600
Speaker 1: our guy, and maybe more importantly, we have to taylor

2490
01:59:16,640 --> 01:59:19,760
Speaker 1: an offense around him. Did that happen last year, this offseason,

2491
01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:23,120
Speaker 1: even maybe into this year. Well, I think what you

2492
01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:26,080
Speaker 1: saw last year is about midway through the season, Joe

2493
01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 1: Flacco went down with an injury and in steps Lamar

2494
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:32,200
Speaker 1: Jackson and they went on quite a run with Lamar

2495
01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:37,440
Speaker 1: Jackson made the postseason and he played really well. Now,

2496
01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:40,440
Speaker 1: he largely relied on his legs and his ability to

2497
01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:43,240
Speaker 1: run the football last year and wasn't quite as good

2498
01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:49,240
Speaker 1: as a passer, had accuracy issues at times. But what's

2499
01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:54,000
Speaker 1: made Lamar so difficult to defend this year as opposed

2500
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:56,880
Speaker 1: to last year is his ability to now throw the football,

2501
01:59:56,920 --> 01:59:58,880
Speaker 1: not only from the pocket, on the run, and all

2502
01:59:58,920 --> 02:00:01,760
Speaker 1: those different things that be so accurate with his passing

2503
02:00:02,120 --> 02:00:04,160
Speaker 1: that he just didn't have last year. He took a

2504
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:07,080
Speaker 1: giant leap forward in his ability to throw the football

2505
02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 1: from last year to this year, and that's what's launched

2506
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:13,480
Speaker 1: him into an MVP caliber player. But I mean, this

2507
02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:15,880
Speaker 1: is the type of offense, like we mentioned, they're gonna

2508
02:00:15,960 --> 02:00:18,600
Speaker 1: tailor all that they do to his strengths. They're not

2509
02:00:18,680 --> 02:00:21,200
Speaker 1: going to try and make him anything that he isn't.

2510
02:00:21,560 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: And you look at a lot of these running quarterbacks

2511
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:25,800
Speaker 1: that have come into the NFL. I mean, even Michael

2512
02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Vick is an example of this. I think you can

2513
02:00:27,480 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 1: look at Cam Newton guys like that. They have allowed

2514
02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:33,040
Speaker 1: them to run the ball to an extent, but largely

2515
02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:35,440
Speaker 1: have tried to fit them into a system to be

2516
02:00:35,480 --> 02:00:38,440
Speaker 1: a pocket passer, because you always think longevity in the

2517
02:00:38,520 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 1: NFL at the quarterback position is you have to be

2518
02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:42,839
Speaker 1: a pocket passer. The Ravens are kind of going against

2519
02:00:42,840 --> 02:00:45,400
Speaker 1: the grain with their thinking and they're just saying, listen,

2520
02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:48,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna allow him to be Lamar and however far

2521
02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:50,520
Speaker 1: that takes us, wherever that takes us, that's how we're

2522
02:00:50,520 --> 02:00:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna ride. And it's certainly paying off for them right now.

2523
02:00:52,400 --> 02:00:54,360
Speaker 1: And there's an issues to even I talked about in

2524
02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:56,880
Speaker 1: the beginning of our show back around noon today. Is

2525
02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 1: that model sustainable over the long haul? Certainly it's working now,

2526
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:02,840
Speaker 1: he's the MVP, the likely MVP in the league, and

2527
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:05,080
Speaker 1: they've won eight in a row. But is that model

2528
02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 1: they use your quarterback like that sustainable long term? Well,

2529
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 1: that's always the great question, right Is it sustainable? I mean,

2530
02:01:12,800 --> 02:01:16,480
Speaker 1: is playing running back in the NFL sustainable? Is playing

2531
02:01:16,520 --> 02:01:19,640
Speaker 1: any position in the NFL sustainable? Injuries can happen at

2532
02:01:19,640 --> 02:01:23,640
Speaker 1: any point, and certainly an injury to your MVP quarterback

2533
02:01:23,960 --> 02:01:25,720
Speaker 1: hurts a lot more than maybe a running back or

2534
02:01:25,720 --> 02:01:28,880
Speaker 1: another position going down. But again, I just don't know

2535
02:01:28,960 --> 02:01:31,960
Speaker 1: that there's anything that's truly sustainable outside of maybe the

2536
02:01:32,040 --> 02:01:35,000
Speaker 1: Patriots dynasty and Tom Brady in the NFL. I mean,

2537
02:01:35,080 --> 02:01:37,680
Speaker 1: everything is fairly short lived. And so the Ravens have

2538
02:01:37,840 --> 02:01:40,040
Speaker 1: pushed their chips to the middle of the table, so

2539
02:01:40,200 --> 02:01:42,480
Speaker 1: to speak, and they're going all in in Lamar and

2540
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:45,240
Speaker 1: they know in order for him to realize his potential

2541
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:46,960
Speaker 1: and be the player that they need him to be

2542
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:49,200
Speaker 1: that he wants to be, they have to allow him

2543
02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:51,120
Speaker 1: to do what he wants to do on the field,

2544
02:01:51,160 --> 02:01:52,880
Speaker 1: and if that's run the ball and scramble and do

2545
02:01:52,960 --> 02:01:56,160
Speaker 1: all that he's done this year, that that's just kind

2546
02:01:56,200 --> 02:01:58,480
Speaker 1: of the cost of doing business. And if at some

2547
02:01:58,600 --> 02:02:01,120
Speaker 1: point that results in an injury, we can't keep playing,

2548
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:03,720
Speaker 1: or is that a couple of games or whatever may happen,

2549
02:02:03,760 --> 02:02:05,000
Speaker 1: they're just going to have to live with that. But

2550
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:07,760
Speaker 1: for right now, things are rolling. Yea. Is it sustainable

2551
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:10,080
Speaker 1: long term? Who knows. I just don't think we have

2552
02:02:10,120 --> 02:02:13,320
Speaker 1: the answer to those questions. It's it's less likely that

2553
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:15,560
Speaker 1: it's sustainable the more you run as a quarterback and

2554
02:02:15,600 --> 02:02:19,320
Speaker 1: the more you take hits at any position. But right

2555
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:21,640
Speaker 1: now it's working for the Ravens and they're on the

2556
02:02:21,720 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 1: fast track to a great postseason run. Here. Yeah, and

2557
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:27,960
Speaker 1: it's and certainly there. They've played enough good teams to

2558
02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:30,360
Speaker 1: know that this will work against good defenses. Last week

2559
02:02:30,400 --> 02:02:32,640
Speaker 1: they played the forty nine Ers. There's a really great game.

2560
02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 1: And aside from the conditions, I know it was a

2561
02:02:35,280 --> 02:02:39,240
Speaker 1: driving rainstorm. What did the Niners have that allowed them

2562
02:02:39,320 --> 02:02:44,080
Speaker 1: to maybe put maybe slow down this Ravens running attack

2563
02:02:44,160 --> 02:02:46,200
Speaker 1: and them scoring so many points as they had been

2564
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:49,200
Speaker 1: the last month. Well, I think the big catalyst in

2565
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:51,560
Speaker 1: that game was the rain and the weather, because it's

2566
02:02:51,600 --> 02:02:53,840
Speaker 1: so difficult to push the ball downfield or throw the

2567
02:02:53,880 --> 02:02:55,880
Speaker 1: ball really at all. I mean it rained nearly that

2568
02:02:56,160 --> 02:02:58,680
Speaker 1: entire game and it was a hard rain and so

2569
02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:01,680
Speaker 1: that really limits what you can do offensively. And the

2570
02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:05,000
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers are arguably a top two defense in

2571
02:03:05,040 --> 02:03:08,600
Speaker 1: the NFL, and anytime you go against that caliber of

2572
02:03:08,680 --> 02:03:10,640
Speaker 1: a defense is going to be difficult to move the ball, period.

2573
02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:12,720
Speaker 1: But the Ravens still did everything they wanted to do

2574
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:15,240
Speaker 1: in that game. They were effective on the ground, they

2575
02:03:15,320 --> 02:03:17,440
Speaker 1: threw it when they needed to got converted big third

2576
02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:20,000
Speaker 1: downs when they had to through the air, and ultimately

2577
02:03:20,080 --> 02:03:24,320
Speaker 1: came out with the win. But this Ravens team is

2578
02:03:24,720 --> 02:03:27,120
Speaker 1: battle tested. I mean they went to Seattle and beat

2579
02:03:27,160 --> 02:03:29,800
Speaker 1: Seattle just a few weeks ago, and then in a

2580
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:33,360
Speaker 1: three game stretcher, they're playing arguably the three best defenses

2581
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:35,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and that will culminate this week with

2582
02:03:35,880 --> 02:03:37,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. They played the Patriots a couple of

2583
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:40,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and then they got the forty nine ers

2584
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 1: last week, and now they'll play the Buffalo Bills, and

2585
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:48,160
Speaker 1: they've certainly outperformed those teams through that stretch, and it'll

2586
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:50,040
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they do against Buffalo and

2587
02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:52,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo this week. With Dennis Pitt, a former Ravens Titan

2588
02:03:52,920 --> 02:03:56,280
Speaker 1: who was part of their radio coverage. On the radio broadcast,

2589
02:03:56,440 --> 02:03:58,600
Speaker 1: we haven't talked at all yet about the Baltimore defense,

2590
02:03:58,640 --> 02:04:00,920
Speaker 1: which is very highly ranked. What should Bills fans know

2591
02:04:00,960 --> 02:04:05,080
Speaker 1: who should they look for on the Baltimore defense? Dennis Well,

2592
02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:07,000
Speaker 1: I think when you talk about the Baltimore defense, they

2593
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:09,200
Speaker 1: got off to a slow start because they were really

2594
02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 1: bottom third in the NFL through the first four or

2595
02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:14,560
Speaker 1: five weeks of the season, and then they couldn't really

2596
02:04:14,600 --> 02:04:18,440
Speaker 1: find a pass rush. They were struggling to cover in

2597
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:20,720
Speaker 1: the back end, giving up big plays, and that was

2598
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:23,080
Speaker 1: just not typical of what we're used to seeing through

2599
02:04:23,880 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 1: in a Ravens defense. But they made a couple of changes.

2600
02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:29,600
Speaker 1: They brought in Marcus Peters, Jimmy Smith got healthy, and

2601
02:04:29,640 --> 02:04:32,400
Speaker 1: they really secured not only their starting group, but the

2602
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:36,480
Speaker 1: depth at that cornerback position. And this group has really

2603
02:04:37,040 --> 02:04:39,400
Speaker 1: risen to a whole new level in the last really

2604
02:04:39,480 --> 02:04:41,760
Speaker 1: half of the season. I mean, they're playing like a

2605
02:04:41,840 --> 02:04:44,440
Speaker 1: top five defense now. They're getting after the pass or

2606
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:49,480
Speaker 1: they're covering people, and they are they are the like

2607
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:53,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens defense were accustomed to seeing. And so, you know, Bill,

2608
02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:56,920
Speaker 1: the Bills offense is going to have a tall order

2609
02:04:56,960 --> 02:04:58,840
Speaker 1: being able to move the ball against these guys because

2610
02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:00,560
Speaker 1: they're hot right now and they're playing with a ton

2611
02:05:00,600 --> 02:05:02,440
Speaker 1: of confidence and playing at a high level. One of

2612
02:05:02,480 --> 02:05:04,720
Speaker 1: the things we noticed from you know, a thousand miles

2613
02:05:04,760 --> 02:05:07,360
Speaker 1: away here in Buffalo watching Baltimore's they got a guy

2614
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:10,280
Speaker 1: pat Ricard who's a three hundred pounder who's playing on

2615
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:13,000
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. How fun has that story been?

2616
02:05:13,080 --> 02:05:15,360
Speaker 1: And how effective has he been on both sides of

2617
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:17,080
Speaker 1: the ball. He's the only player in the NFL who's

2618
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:20,680
Speaker 1: gotten twenty five snaps on defense as a defensive tackle

2619
02:05:21,320 --> 02:05:24,160
Speaker 1: and then also twenty five snaps at least on offense

2620
02:05:24,240 --> 02:05:29,040
Speaker 1: as a fullback. Yeah, he's a really unique player because

2621
02:05:29,080 --> 02:05:31,120
Speaker 1: he came and I remember when he first came to

2622
02:05:31,200 --> 02:05:34,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens, he was a defensive tackle. He probably never

2623
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:37,680
Speaker 1: thought of even playing fullback, and for whatever reason, there

2624
02:05:37,720 --> 02:05:39,360
Speaker 1: was a need at the fullback position a couple of

2625
02:05:39,400 --> 02:05:40,840
Speaker 1: years ago, and they threw him in a couple of

2626
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 1: goal line packages and he just seemed to have a

2627
02:05:43,560 --> 02:05:46,720
Speaker 1: real natural feel for that position and a knack for

2628
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:49,240
Speaker 1: being able to block as a lead blocker and even

2629
02:05:49,640 --> 02:05:51,720
Speaker 1: slip out into the flat and catch passes. And so

2630
02:05:52,680 --> 02:05:56,080
Speaker 1: he's kind of developed into a really two way guy.

2631
02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:58,720
Speaker 1: And he's still a guy they'll use every now and

2632
02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:01,000
Speaker 1: then on defensive line, but he's grown into his own

2633
02:06:01,360 --> 02:06:04,240
Speaker 1: as a fullback. And he's a physical guy. He's obviously

2634
02:06:04,680 --> 02:06:07,320
Speaker 1: huge in stature, but he's got soft hands. He could

2635
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,800
Speaker 1: catch the ball and it's tough to bring down when

2636
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:12,840
Speaker 1: he's out in space. But they just extended him for

2637
02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:15,120
Speaker 1: a couple of years. They obviously think very highly of

2638
02:06:15,240 --> 02:06:17,160
Speaker 1: him and he's a big part of what they do.

2639
02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: He plays a lot on offense, and they use a

2640
02:06:19,160 --> 02:06:22,520
Speaker 1: lot of tight ends and fullbacks like we mentioned in

2641
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:26,320
Speaker 1: their offensive schemes and bring those guys around formations and

2642
02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 1: do all kinds of different things to create deception within

2643
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:32,800
Speaker 1: the run game. Yeah, this last thing I have for

2644
02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:35,520
Speaker 1: you and you you know, eight eight straight wins and

2645
02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:39,520
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, great wins at Pittsburgh, at the Seattle,

2646
02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 1: at the Rams, San Francisco, New Wingland, I mean, the Houston.

2647
02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:46,160
Speaker 1: When did they take a break? Maybe I'm gonna sound

2648
02:06:46,200 --> 02:06:48,080
Speaker 1: desperate here, but is this the game? Maybe we're a

2649
02:06:48,120 --> 02:06:50,680
Speaker 1: possible letdown for a Baltimore team that spent on a

2650
02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:52,640
Speaker 1: two month role. They haven't lost since the last week

2651
02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:56,520
Speaker 1: is September. Yeah, I mean, I think we talk about

2652
02:06:56,560 --> 02:06:58,600
Speaker 1: this every week on the radio out in Baltimore, that

2653
02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:00,520
Speaker 1: at some point you feel like they're going to come

2654
02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:03,200
Speaker 1: back down to earth and have a trap game here

2655
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 1: or there and and have some kind of a letdown,

2656
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:07,960
Speaker 1: because that's just the nature of the beast. In the NFL,

2657
02:07:08,560 --> 02:07:09,680
Speaker 1: you have a lot of highs, and you have a

2658
02:07:09,760 --> 02:07:11,680
Speaker 1: lot of lows. I mean, I can remember the year

2659
02:07:11,760 --> 02:07:15,280
Speaker 1: we won the Super Bowl in twenty twelve. We were

2660
02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:19,120
Speaker 1: We've played in Houston on a Monday night and I

2661
02:07:19,200 --> 02:07:20,680
Speaker 1: think we were seven and two and a pretty good

2662
02:07:20,720 --> 02:07:22,520
Speaker 1: team at that point, and we got ran out of

2663
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:24,560
Speaker 1: the stadium. I think we lost by thirty points. And

2664
02:07:25,120 --> 02:07:27,040
Speaker 1: you just some nights you just don't have it. But

2665
02:07:27,120 --> 02:07:30,320
Speaker 1: this Ravens team, for whatever reason, over the last eight weeks,

2666
02:07:30,360 --> 02:07:32,160
Speaker 1: has had it each and every week, and they have

2667
02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:36,400
Speaker 1: been dominating opponents for the most part, each and every

2668
02:07:36,440 --> 02:07:38,880
Speaker 1: week and beating good teams at that. I mean, you

2669
02:07:39,040 --> 02:07:43,160
Speaker 1: talk about arguably, you know, top five NFL teams with

2670
02:07:43,240 --> 02:07:45,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the forty nine ers and the Seahawks

2671
02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:48,560
Speaker 1: and quality opponents that are great wins, and and they

2672
02:07:48,680 --> 02:07:51,400
Speaker 1: they're just rolling right through this. And so I don't

2673
02:07:51,440 --> 02:07:53,400
Speaker 1: anticipate any kind of a letup. I think, you know,

2674
02:07:53,600 --> 02:07:55,640
Speaker 1: we've anticipated for a long time, but it hasn't come.

2675
02:07:55,720 --> 02:07:59,440
Speaker 1: And the nature in which they play, I think when

2676
02:07:59,520 --> 02:08:02,560
Speaker 1: anytime you it's a run first team and you can

2677
02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:04,440
Speaker 1: dominate the line of scrimmage and you can stop the

2678
02:08:04,480 --> 02:08:07,280
Speaker 1: run defensively, that's a formula for winning each and every week.

2679
02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:10,680
Speaker 1: Whether you you know you're on your game or not. Thanks.

2680
02:08:10,720 --> 02:08:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm just grasping at straws here, Dennis. I'm just looking

2681
02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:18,840
Speaker 1: for anything. Thanks for this tennis. We appreciating Thanks all right, guys,

2682
02:08:18,920 --> 02:08:21,440
Speaker 1: thank you. Gonna sh the former Ravens tight end he

2683
02:08:21,520 --> 02:08:23,400
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl with him, Super Bowl forty seven.

2684
02:08:23,480 --> 02:08:26,839
Speaker 1: I'm part of their radio coverage, right, I'm just grasping.

2685
02:08:27,080 --> 02:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Give me something, my head. There's not much there there.

2686
02:08:29,760 --> 02:08:32,480
Speaker 1: Really good game streak is amazing. It is if they

2687
02:08:32,520 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 1: haven't lost in September twenty ninth, I mean, come on, man,

2688
02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:39,040
Speaker 1: And I said this yesterday. I don't want to go

2689
02:08:39,200 --> 02:08:42,600
Speaker 1: go over again. But in the last since week seven,

2690
02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:46,320
Speaker 1: they beat it. They went to Seattle, they scored thirty.

2691
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:49,320
Speaker 1: Then they went to New England and scored thirty seven.

2692
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:52,000
Speaker 1: Then they were at home against the Cincinnati scored forty nine.

2693
02:08:52,040 --> 02:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Then they went to Houston and scored forty one. Then

2694
02:08:54,440 --> 02:08:58,880
Speaker 1: they went to Los Angeles and scored forty five. They're

2695
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:03,600
Speaker 1: rolling people. Man, it's got to end, right. Why not here?

2696
02:09:03,760 --> 02:09:05,920
Speaker 1: Good defense here in Buffalo? Why not here? Why not?

2697
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:08,600
Speaker 1: We'll get back to U. More thoughts on the Bills

2698
02:09:08,640 --> 02:09:10,200
Speaker 1: and the Ravens and we return. Come on back with

2699
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:12,840
Speaker 1: us One Bills Live presented by Kalaida Health from the

2700

02:09:57,480 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 1: Thomas joined us today and he talked about the importance

2710
02:09:59,720 --> 02:10:03,880
Speaker 1: of the AVNS game this Sunday. This team is getting

2711
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:06,520
Speaker 1: better and better. Man, It's uh yeah, this is their

2712
02:10:06,560 --> 02:10:09,280
Speaker 1: biggest test by far, by by far. When you look

2713
02:10:09,320 --> 02:10:11,840
Speaker 1: at whose Baltimore is beaten this year, He've beating the

2714
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:14,920
Speaker 1: top team. He've beating the top team. We rolled some people,

2715
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:20,000
Speaker 1: yeah and rolled and just think, I mean you get

2716
02:10:20,080 --> 02:10:22,720
Speaker 1: this win at home. I told Murph we might have

2717
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:26,000
Speaker 1: taken Monday. I think we will have to take Monday off.

2718
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:28,520
Speaker 1: It's but these guys. What I'm telling you, man, these

2719
02:10:28,600 --> 02:10:31,640
Speaker 1: guys are so focused, and I like when I hear

2720
02:10:32,240 --> 02:10:34,240
Speaker 1: when I talk to Jerry and Mike and all these

2721
02:10:34,320 --> 02:10:38,440
Speaker 1: guys of nobody really believe in them, but we believe

2722
02:10:38,480 --> 02:10:42,400
Speaker 1: in ourselves. And that's a huge factor in that place

2723
02:10:42,440 --> 02:10:44,360
Speaker 1: to be though. It's a huge factor in locker room.

2724
02:10:46,760 --> 02:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas talking about the Sunday's game, the Bill is

2725
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:52,120
Speaker 1: still at the place where nobody really believes in him.

2726
02:10:52,120 --> 02:10:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's true after it. Do you

2727
02:10:53,840 --> 02:10:57,080
Speaker 1: feel that we're watching NFL Network Good Morning Football today,

2728
02:10:57,240 --> 02:11:00,440
Speaker 1: the entire show is about the Buffalo Bills. They're scattered

2729
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:02,760
Speaker 1: every I think you know what. I think that because

2730
02:11:03,080 --> 02:11:05,160
Speaker 1: I've been there. I know they want to get some

2731
02:11:05,240 --> 02:11:08,680
Speaker 1: stuff in about the Bills and in case they're no

2732
02:11:08,800 --> 02:11:11,000
Speaker 1: longer the flavor of the month right after they beat

2733
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:12,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, they want to use it for

2734
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:15,000
Speaker 1: all their content, get all the can out of it,

2735
02:11:15,040 --> 02:11:17,320
Speaker 1: because they don't believe that they're gonna be around very long.

2736
02:11:17,560 --> 02:11:19,080
Speaker 1: They think the Bills are gonna go away. When they

2737
02:11:19,200 --> 02:11:22,480
Speaker 1: hit this stretch of their schedule with the with the Ravens,

2738
02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:26,000
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, with the Patriots, they think that's gonna

2739
02:11:26,040 --> 02:11:28,360
Speaker 1: do the Bills in That's what I think. This is

2740
02:11:28,440 --> 02:11:31,160
Speaker 1: the stretch for sure. And Steve, you were talking about

2741
02:11:31,200 --> 02:11:33,320
Speaker 1: taking Monday off. You are not here tomorrow, so we

2742
02:11:33,400 --> 02:11:35,320
Speaker 1: need to. I'll give your mind to a prediction for

2743
02:11:35,480 --> 02:11:38,080
Speaker 1: Sunday's game Bills in Baltimore. You want gonna go first,

2744
02:11:38,600 --> 02:11:40,960
Speaker 1: I'll go first. I want to go first. You go first,

2745
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:42,960
Speaker 1: go first. All right, Bills are gonna win, and it's

2746
02:11:42,960 --> 02:11:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna be hard, and it's gonna be brutal, and it's

2747
02:11:44,880 --> 02:11:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a heavyweight title fight between two really good defenses.

2748
02:11:49,080 --> 02:11:52,080
Speaker 1: And Buffalo wins at seventeen thirteen. I think twenty three,

2749
02:11:52,160 --> 02:11:55,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, twenty Bills point. Yeah. I think it's

2750
02:11:55,320 --> 02:11:58,080
Speaker 1: a field goal. It's a it's a defensive turnaround field

2751
02:11:58,120 --> 02:12:01,120
Speaker 1: goal game. And we'll we'll see. And here's where I

2752
02:12:01,160 --> 02:12:02,920
Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen too. I think the Page the

2753
02:12:03,200 --> 02:12:05,640
Speaker 1: Ravens are going to come out just like the Cowboys

2754
02:12:05,680 --> 02:12:07,160
Speaker 1: did and we've seen some other teams do. They're gonna

2755
02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:09,200
Speaker 1: have some early success and then the Bills will kind

2756
02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:11,520
Speaker 1: of figure it out and maybe maybe turn off that

2757
02:12:11,640 --> 02:12:15,839
Speaker 1: spigot a little bit. That's the way the Bills have operated,

2758
02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:17,800
Speaker 1: I think that will probably continue. I think they'll play

2759
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:19,920
Speaker 1: much much better in the later parts of this game

2760
02:12:19,960 --> 02:12:22,600
Speaker 1: than they will early because Baltimore and Baltimore's gonna hit

2761
02:12:22,640 --> 02:12:24,640
Speaker 1: them and they're gonna have to They're gonna have to

2762
02:12:24,720 --> 02:12:27,360
Speaker 1: get theirselves together to get Baltimore off the field. I

2763
02:12:27,360 --> 02:12:28,960
Speaker 1: think m'ch moore he did a lot of good things

2764
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:30,200
Speaker 1: to say, and if you missed it, you can go

2765
02:12:30,280 --> 02:12:32,120
Speaker 1: back to the website and check it out. And he

2766
02:12:32,280 --> 02:12:35,200
Speaker 1: mentioned this, how yeah, they've been slow starts right Giants game,

2767
02:12:35,240 --> 02:12:38,000
Speaker 1: they marched down the field their first possession. Cowboys did

2768
02:12:38,040 --> 02:12:40,520
Speaker 1: it last week. This team doesn't panic, you know, they

2769
02:12:40,560 --> 02:12:43,120
Speaker 1: don't panic. They don't. You talk about how calm and

2770
02:12:43,240 --> 02:12:45,520
Speaker 1: cool it was on the sidelines and the Dallas game,

2771
02:12:45,840 --> 02:12:48,480
Speaker 1: even down seven or nothing, they kind of gather themselves

2772
02:12:48,560 --> 02:12:51,160
Speaker 1: and play again. They probably they're likely to have to

2773
02:12:51,240 --> 02:12:53,200
Speaker 1: do that again this week against a very good running

2774
02:12:53,200 --> 02:12:55,000
Speaker 1: attack from the Baltimore. He might have to do it

2775
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:56,720
Speaker 1: more than once. Yeah, you know, I mean, this is

2776
02:12:56,760 --> 02:12:58,680
Speaker 1: a good team and this is this is quite the

2777
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:01,840
Speaker 1: measuring stick this week. Hey, Tomorrows Show, Chris Brown will

2785
02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:21,800
Speaker 1: ahead and what to look for around the NFL. The

2786
02:13:21,920 --> 02:13:24,720
Speaker 1: Bills could clinch, believe it or not, by Sunday around

2787
02:13:24,760 --> 02:13:26,720
Speaker 1: seven thirty. Things. They have to break their way, and

2788
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:29,080
Speaker 1: most importantly, they have to beat the Baltimore Ravens. We

2789
02:13:29,200 --> 02:13:31,440
Speaker 1: both think that could happen, right, Yes, we do. We

2790
02:13:31,560 --> 02:13:33,480
Speaker 1: think of mine. We both reredicted it would we did,

2791
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:36,080
Speaker 1: so don't throw that in our face. It's part of

2792

Speaker 1: our job, all right. I don't pick him every week,

2793

2794
02:13:40,080 --> 02:13:41,920
Speaker 1: pick him every week, even though I only thought they

2795
02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:45,440
Speaker 1: would win eleven games, eleven plus plus. Still on face

2796
02:13:45,520 --> 02:13:47,440
