00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: am loving I am loving my job today. Because it

21
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: was not good to be at home being me. For

22
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, it was not

23
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: good to be It's not usually it's a pretty good

24
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,760

25
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: to be me. I am so glad to be back.

26
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: And on a Friday, the game week, being at the

27
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: tuesday at that where the holidays have been an absolute

28
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: blender of a of a season. Man, they can weary out,

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, they can wear Where are we It's

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: week thirteen, Brandy, We like fell off a cliff after

31
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: week one. H Here we are at week thirteen, watching

32
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: it moves along pretty quickly. Who there's no question about it.

33
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: Bills are outside practicing, They're almost done actually, and we

34
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: know two players are not participating, those being Von Miller

35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: and Dion Dawkins, two players who are kind of important

36
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: two Buffalo's overall equation every week at two of the

37
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: more important positions, premium positions in fact, you know, pass

38
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: top pass rusher, top pass protector. Both of them not looking.

39
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: I mean, we already know von Miller's out this week.

40
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: That was already said by coach McDermott early in the week,

41
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: and Dion Dawkins is at the very least a question

42
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: mark with his angle injury that forced him out around

43
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: halftime last week, So it could be another week of

44
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: David Quessenberry at left tackle, and with Matthew Judon reckoned

45
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: games this year with thirteen sacks on the season, they're

46
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: going to need to have a plan for him, and

47
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: coach McDermott said as much today. Right, this is one

48
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: of those games the Patriots, from a million miles away,

49
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: you think, while the Bills are a much better team,

50
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: all the stats tell you that, the win loss record

51
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: tells you that, even the eye test kind of tells

52
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: you that. But this is one of those division games

53
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: where you just never feel like you can run off

54
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: and leave the other team. And you get into this game,

55
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: and particularly with the given the way the Bills have

56
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: played in the last month, you know where they lost,

57
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: the loss of the Vikings and a bitter loss that

58
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: you kind of stumbled. The Jets played the best game

59
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: they've played all year and beat him, and you feel

60
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: like the Bills could go into this game and mistake

61
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: their way into a loss very easily. And the Patriots

62
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: got to be feeling the way Bills fans felt for

63
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: a long time during the drought years, where you go

64
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: in and think, you know what, we got a puncher's

65
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: chance here, and if we just a couple of things happen,

66
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Doesn't it sound so silly

67
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: being on this side of it. It does, but it

68
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: could happen. But it could happen. And you just never

69
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: these these division games, you just never feel all that

70
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: confident in, you know, particularly in this team, with this team,

71
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: this coach, this this was a playoff team a year ago.

72
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: They're not having that great a year thus far. They're

73
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, five hundred ball club, but five that means

74
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: they win as much as they lose. And with the Bills,

75
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know, the one or two turnovers to

76
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: go against the Bills, and man, you're in that dog

77
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: fight and you end up, you know, fumbling a quarterback

78
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: sneak and you lose. A game like this on a weekend,

79
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs are playing a team that could beat them,

80
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: when the Dolphins are playing a tough team on the

81
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: road that could beat them, and you could really gain

82
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: some ground in the in the division and in the conference.

83
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: This is a big game. Well, it's an absolutely gigantic game.

84
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: Next three weeks are going to largely determine the Bills

85
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: division chances of winning the division for a third consecutive season.

86
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: These three games are going to pretty much spell it out,

87
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: as they play the Dolphins, the Jets, and the Dolphins

88
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: in succession this week away, the next two weeks at

89
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: home after that, and where they sit Patriots, the ditch

90
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins. Yeah, coming out of that Dolphins game

91
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: December seventeenth or eighteenth, we still don't know the day

92
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: of that game. We'll probably know Tuesday next week. That

93
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: will pretty much paint the picture for what Buffalo will

94
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: be looking at because tiebreakers are not in Buffalo's favor

95
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: in their own division right now. They are in the

96
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: conference against the other division leaders because they have wins

97
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: over Tennessee, Baltimore, and Kansas City. But they did not

98
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: beat the Jets, they did not beat the Dolphins. They

99
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: hold no divisional tiebreakers whatsoever right now, sitting at oz

100
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: and two. So that's the issue that they have to

101
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: begin fixing on Thursday night. The team they're chasing, as

102
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: it turns out, with this identical record as the Dolphins

103
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: because they lost the head to head at an earlier

104
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: loss the Dolphins go forty nine ers, at the forty

105
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: nine ers, then they go at the Chargers, then they're

106
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: at Buffalo. So the Dolphins are in an equally precarious

107
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: situation right now. They got a tough, tough stretch coming up.

108
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: The Niners, Chargers, Bills all on the road. So as

109
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: much as the next three weeks is gonna tell you

110
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: what the Bills are going to do in the division

111
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: this year, it's exact same thing for the Dolphins, and

112
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: that means in three weeks if both those teams hold serve,

113
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: the Bills hosting the Dolphins is a monumental game. Monumental,

114
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: which is why many people see it getting flex to

115
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: prime time. That's why it's not even on the it's

116
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: not even scheduled on the on the schedule that the

117
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: league put out. It's TBD. They didn't even give a

118
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: time and date. They know how being that game could loom.

119
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: It's like they knew all along, which is what did

120
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: they know that we did not know? They knew it

121
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: was going to be one hundred and eighty six degrees

122
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: on the Bill's sidelines and in in week what was it,

123
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: Week three? Swines, you've got them as veritable geniuses. Um yeah,

124
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, like I think, all you have

125
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: to do against this Patriots team, you gotta just get

126
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: up on them early because they are not a team

127
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: that comes from behind and football games, they are inaable

128
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: able to do that. They've also only only scored twenty

129
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: five points in the first quarter this season. Steve twenty

130
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: five points in the first quarter. Steve last week against

131
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings was their first first quarter touchdown in week twelve. Yeah,

132
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: all right, but here's the thing notoriously now, if you

133
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: notice the Bills are just the opposite of that. Defensively,

134
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: you can make hay on them a little bit early

135
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: in games, but as the game wears on, they put

136
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: the screws to you and it comes tougher and tougher

137
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: to move the football on him because Leslie Frazier and

138
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: all those guys on that side of the ball start

139
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: to hone in on what you're doing offensively and they

140
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: start to get better. So it's you know, there's a

141
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: little bit of that going on too. So I don't

142
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: think you're gonna like I mean, and Matthew Judon and

143
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: all those guys on that side of the ball for

144
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots are playing really good. They're they're tough to

145
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: score on. Bro, they got a good that's always it's

146
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: always been. They get in your head. They do think.

147
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, you know, they film your

148
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: they film your defensive signals, They get us, they steal

149
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: a copy of your game plan, they pirates your defensive signals.

150
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: They do all that stuff to try and get ahead

151
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: of you, and they make it tough. They're always in

152
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: the perfect call on defense. They're always running the exact

153
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: same the right play on offense. That's hard to defend,

154
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: hard to beat. Fine, but the defense is not the issue.

155
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say this, since twenty twenty, when Diggs

156
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: got here, the Patriots have had a number one corner

157
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: was either Stefan Gilmore or J. C. Jackson, and Diggs

158
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: ate them for lunch. Oh my gosh. It was a

159
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: bad lost their number one corner one Right now, Well,

160
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: you say, they're talking about Jonathan Jones, the seventh year player. Look,

161
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: he's had a nice career. He's kind of risen through

162
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: the ranks on that New England roster. He was just

163
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: a special teams guy as a young player. Then he

164
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: was like their main nickel guy the last couple of years,

165
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: and now they got him playing outside and he's having

166
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: a nice season. But he's not in Stefan Gilmour's category.

167
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: He's not even in JC Jackson's category. That I mean,

168
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure, don't don't get me wrong. I'm sure Belichick's

169
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna have a plan for Diggs and how to handle him,

170
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: which means it's very important for the other guys in

171
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: the receiving corps to step up and make some plays.

172
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: And I'm putting my money on Dawson Knox this week

173
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: because for my money, I don't think Kyle Dugger, Adrian Phillips,

174
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: or anybody else can cover him. One on one. Last year,

175
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: it was Isaiah McKinsey, and I think this was the game.

176
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKinsey had twelve catch or eleven catches on twelve targets,

177
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: single handedly, single handedly roasted the Patriots. And then Josh.

178
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: You know, every so often Josh would bust loosen and

179
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: run one that would get a first down and crush him.

180
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: And he did that on like three occasions last year

181
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: in New England. I remember that was the year. That

182
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: was the game after the win game here in Buffalo

183
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: where they couldn't get off the field defensively, couldn't score

184
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: points offensively in a forty mile an hour gusts, And

185
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: then they went into New England and they never punted

186
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: against him. Yeah yeah, I mean, you look at it

187
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: from a million miles away and you think, I don't know.

188
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: The Patriots don't look any better than they did a

189
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: year ago, and look a little different. Judeon's playing way

190
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: better at this point of the season than he did

191
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: last year. Last year he got off to the hot

192
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: start like he did this year, but now it seems

193
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: as he's sustaining it throughout the rest of the season.

194
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: Last year he fell off a cliff somewhere. He disappeared

195
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: for like six or seven games at the end of

196
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: the season last year and wasn't a factor at all.

197
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to be the case this year. So

198
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: they're a little different in that respect. Their offensive line

199
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't think is as good as it was a

200
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: year ago. They're running game statistically, although they everybody says

201
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: they run the Bay, they're statistically it's not. They're not

202
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: running it that good. But man oh man, they just

203
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: going up there playing him in that building you just

204
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: got everything against stacked against you. But there their offense,

205
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: it's just I know everybody saw them on Thanksgiving Night

206
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: last week and they put up twenty six points. They

207
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: were in the game at the end, just couldn't get

208
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: it done in the fourth quarter. They play Minnesota, it's

209
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: the worst passing defense in football. Yeah, thirty second in

210
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: the league. They're like, ah, Matt Jones career high three

211
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: hundred eighty two passing yard. Yeah, you did it against

212
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: the worst pass defense in football, the worst. This is

213
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: an absolute huge This is the biggest game of the

214
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: year so far, meaningfully because of the way they because

215
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: of the because of the way the schedule and the

216
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: one wins and losses have fallen. Absolutely the biggest win,

217
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the schedule. Um, it's enormous. So

218
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: we'll see if they can rise up and get it done.

219
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: That they got the Patriots, the Jets, and the Dolphins one,

220
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: two and three. Get are done and you've got then

221
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots game is always a revenge game for Bill's fans.

222
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: The Jets game is a revenge game this year for

223
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: the first loss. The Miami game is a must win

224
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: because of the division, because they're at the top of

225
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: the division. Gotta split. Yeah, you gotta get everybody knows

226
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: what's gotta happen here. Yeah, this is huge. And I'll

227
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: say this von Miller notwithstanding Dion Dawkins. I don't it's

228
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: not a long term injury, but it's you know, it's

229
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: a Thursday to Thursday. It's a weird scheduling thing. Don't

230
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: know if he's going to get back. Injury wise, there

231
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: should be no excuse. You should be a hundred. You

232
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: should be good to go against his team. Certainly, Vaughan

233
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: is a huge void. But they didn't know they were

234
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: gonna have von Miller this year. That was that was

235
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: a cherry on the cake of this defense. You drafted

236
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: a Japonesse, you drafted Greg Rousseau, you drafted Boogie bash him,

237
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: he drafted at Oliver for games like this, and they're veterans.

238
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: Now they're not young. They're young, but they're veteran players

239
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: with a veteran in their ear. And Von Miller, who's

240
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: tell them how it should be done? They should show

241
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: up and Tremaine Edmonds is back in the lineup. Yeahs

242
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: White's gonna take some reps. I don't know if he'll

243
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: play the whole game or whatever. Coach McDermott, and you know,

244
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: we should probably get to some of these practice updates,

245
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by lee Com your Lake

246
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. As Steve mentioned, Von Miller

247
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: not practicing today, out for this week's game, Dion Dawkins

248
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: not practicing today. He has not practiced at all this week, Sunday, Monday,

249
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: or today. And the good on the good side of

250
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: the ledger though, Tremaine Edmonds, Greg Russo, aj Epenesa, Mitch

251
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: Morse all full participants in practice yesterday. The hope is

252
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: that that continues today. There are still some players battling illness,

253
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: will get the updates, but half of those eight players

254
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: that could not practice on Sunday did practice yesterday. We'll

255
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: see how the remaining four players who are outsick fair today.

256
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: Quentin Morrison's the only one that's still out ill. Yeah,

257
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: he's the one that's really addling something, probably fighting something

258
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: you're dealing with. And then you know, basically we'll have

259
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: to see what the designations are a little bit later today. Incidentally,

260
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: this week's game sponsor also lee Com. Lee Com we

261
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: make doctors. We'll go around the NFL now presented by

262
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: Kalid to Healthy Official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills

263
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: and Steve. It was a snooze fest on Monday night football.

264
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: I watched it. I watched I kind of hung in there. Colts, Steelers,

265
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: you are a die hard man. It was Penny Snell

266
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: with the go ahead touchdown, and then the Colts they're

267
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: getting raked over the coals because they're saying Jeff Saturday

268
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: mismanaged the clock. He didn't mismanage the clock. They didn't

269
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: make enough plays. I get the first down, then talk

270
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: to me about the clock. Yeah, I mean it was three.

271
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, at the end of that game.

272
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: That was the irrelevant that the timeouts, because they were

273
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: they what they were probably doing too, was making sure

274
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: that the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't have enough time to do

275
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: anything once they scored, and they were trying to score

276
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: with as little time as possible, and they had timeouts,

277
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: and it's like, we got timeouts, We're gonna have to

278
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: score anyway. Let's I didn't have a problem with so

279
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: much with the with the timeouts, they just couldn't make

280
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: a play, but they could not make a play. I

281
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: mean they got Matt Ryan on a third and seventeen

282
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: getting getting fifteen of it with his legs, and I

283
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: mean it was like watching a sundial try and move

284
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: that guy. It took forever to people for people to

285
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: cover ground in that game. He couldn't get there. They

286
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: couldn't get the ball on fourth down throwing it up

287
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: for grabs. Matt Ryan is really is really used up.

288
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: Their line is awful. Their line is really struggling against

289
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers team. That was you know, trying to get

290
00:17:55,119 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: trying to you know, get some things done. But yeah,

291
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: it was. It was a rough football game, no question

292
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: about it. Kenny Pickett showed me some stuff last night. Pickens,

293
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: I do too. Pickens, for as much as he wants

294
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: the football, had had a couple of drops last night

295
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: that were puzzling and a little bit troubling. Um some

296
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: key drops last night. Not easy catches. But if he

297
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: makes those catches, nobody even looks twice at him like,

298
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: oh well that was wow. That was a tough ki.

299
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been like that. Yeah, they weren't easy,

300
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: but they got to catch him, and he had a

301
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: couple of them that crew. You know, those are plays

302
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: that make a huge difference in the game long term,

303
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: and he, you know, Pickens was I thought Pickens was

304
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: very good last night, much better than he was here

305
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: in Buffalo in week two or whatever it was when

306
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: they played. Um. I was impressed with Pickens last night,

307
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: but they've got to be you know, the Bills played

308
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: him in week five and he was much better this

309
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: this game last night than he was then, and he

310
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: didn't get enough help from guys like Pickens. So there,

311
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: you know, I yeah, this should have been a walk

312
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: off for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it wasn't. It wasn't.

313
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: The Browns, not to anyone's surprise, they're going to start

314
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson, it looked this week now that he's

315
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: been fully activated, and they've also waived quarterback Josh Dobbs.

316
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: So there's that. And then the Chiefs, who are always

317
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: seemingly adding players as the season wears on, they sign

318
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon after he was cut by the Broncos. So

319
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: from what I've heard through the grape vine, Melvin Gordon

320
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: wanted out of there because he can't stand Russell Wilson

321
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: and wasn't shy about some comments that he made in

322
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: the Broncos locker room. And the Broncos are inexorably tied

323
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: to Russell Wilson with a two hundred and fifty million

324
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: dollar contract, So they moved Melvin Ord out of the

325
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: locker room. And uh, now he's on your division rival

326
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They have like seven running packs in Kansas City.

327
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: They got Isaiah Pacheco, Clyde Edwards, Hilaire, they got McKinnon.

328
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: I just added Pacheco to my fantasy team just now.

329
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: That's a good pickup, I thought. So it's a good

330
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: pickup that got get right. And I have a cornucopia

331
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: of Melvin Gordon. Is it not even gonna address? Andy

332
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: Reid is an excellent play caller. He's a he's a creative,

333
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: really creative, offensive guy. I love how he does handles

334
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: games like that and gets the ball to guys who

335
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: can do something with it. Now, he also is a

336
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: little greedy in grabbing guys who can do the kid

337
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: at Christmas, he doesn't share with anybody that's mine. That's mine,

338
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: yes exactly, and I get it. And also the Chiefs

339
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: do have one other thing going for them that kind

340
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: of flies under the radar because it's a week it's

341
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: not a week to week situation Andy Reid. And I

342
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: know that Eric Bienemy is starting to call plays for him,

343
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: but Andy Reid is the guy offensively in Kansas City.

344
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: They're not gonna Kansas City's not gonna lose their offensive

345
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: guru play caller to be head coach of the Giants

346
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: or to be head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, or

347
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That's a problem for a

348
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: lot of coaching staffs where you've got this guy who's

349
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: the guy like Matt Eberflus in Intu goes to Chicago

350
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: from the Indianapolis Colts as their defensive guy. Now he's

351
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: a head coach of Chicago. You lose guys. The Chiefs

352
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: aren't losing Andy Reid. Yeah, And that's that's something that's

353
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: has flown under the radar for them. Why a lot

354
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: of the owners in this league lean toward offense and

355
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: hold and when it comes to hiring a head coach,

356
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: because well, they don't want to lose the offensive play

357
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: caller to a promotion and a head coaching post somewhere else. Particularly,

358
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we've all seen here in Buffalo. How hard

359
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: is it to find a quarterback. If you get a quarterback,

360
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do is sabotage him

361
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: with some guy who doesn't know what he's doing offensively,

362
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I was surprised, And I know

363
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay they've got an unusual situation with Byron Leftwitch,

364
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: former quarterback high draft pick. Now he's the quarterback coach

365
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: and he's got Tom Brady. But I think Brady deserves

366
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: as much of, you know, a credit for how the

367
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: play calling goes in the relationship there with Byron Leftwitch.

368
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: That's a little different animal. But they could lose. They

369
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: lose Byron Leftwich and they got Brady. Still, there's that

370
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: kind of dynamic going on. Look what happened in New Orleans.

371
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: Their offensive guy was Sean Payton, and all of a

372
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: sudden they stink. Well, Drew Brees retiring didn't help either.

373
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: Sean Payton had Jamis Winston playing as good as any

374
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league up until the time he got

375
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: hurt last year and his last year there, I'll give

376
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: you that. And now he's gone. And now Jameis Winston

377
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: can't even get on the field. That's a rifle. You've

378
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: got to make sure you got these guys. And Buffalo

379
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: has not missed, really not missed a beat. In transitioning

380
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: to Ken Dorsey, it looks a little different, and there

381
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: are times when you're like, but we had listened. There

382
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: were people calling for Brian Dayball's head last year, remember

383
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: that when there were seven and six people were like, going,

384
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: he can't. You got to have that guy, And if

385
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: you have him as your head coach, it's just one

386
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: layer of security you've got in that play caller that

387
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: nobody else has, or a lot of teams don't. One

388
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: last note to make here around the NFL. Aaron Rodgers

389
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: on the Pad McAfee show, where he is a weekly guy,

390
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: making an appearance, as we know, in the game on

391
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: what was that Sunday night ribs. Yeah, he had injured ribs,

392
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: left the game. He's also dealing with a throwing thumb

393
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: injury on a throwing hand, but it was the ribs

394
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: that were the concern. And he said to Pat McAfee today,

395
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: I got good news with the scans, so I plan

396
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: on playing this week. So there you go. I wonder

397
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: if he plans on practicing this week. Wow, because that

398
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: because one of the issues with Green Bay is lack

399
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: of familiarity with some of the guys he's thrown to.

400
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: Not Cobbs so much, but you know, I mean, I

401
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: think the more reps he goes to goes through with

402
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: those guys, I think better off he's going to be.

403
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: He was. You know, you can tell we're looking at highlight.

404
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: He was hurting during that game. Bruised ribbs, maybe some

405
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: rip cartilage issues, who knows, but yeah, looks like he

406
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: feels like he's going to be well enough to play

407
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: this week. I mean, seasons on the brink. They're not

408
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: going in the playoffs anyway. I mean after this week,

409
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: if they don't win, start Jordan Loved the rest of

410
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: the Jordan You've got to find out about that guy. Yeah, well,

411
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Minnesota clinches the division with a win

412
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: and a Detroit loss. What do you do this week?

413
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: What do you do with Aaron Rodgers? If you're the

414
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and you move and he's hurt, not

415
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, you want to find out about Jordan Love.

416
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: So you do, and you find out, and you look

417
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: at Jordan Love and you're thinking, oh, I'm kind of

418
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: liking it right at the end of this season, last

419
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: say five games, four games of the season, and you're

420
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: looking at Jordan Love going that guy might be it.

421
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: He might be our guy going forward. Now, what do

422
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: you do. You just signed Rogers, You know his contract,

423
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: everybody knows his contract. Can you trade him nine million

424
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: in dead cap if you do? But that's a problem.

425
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, even if they wait until after June first

426
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: and release him, the cap hit is still seventy five

427
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: million dollars in twenty twenty three, and then the remaining

428
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: twenty four in twenty twenty four. If you trade him

429
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: or cut him before that, it's now ninety nine point

430
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: seven million in dead cap. Not to mention the fact

431
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: that you have Jordan Love already in the final year

432
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: of his rookie deal coming up in twenty twenty three.

433
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: Take that option up that comes in May for the

434
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: fifty year, which would be a guaranteed twenty million for

435
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: guy who hasn't played enough yet that you don't know

436
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: about if you want to keep him. Do you think

437
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: do you think they don't know about him? Well, maybe

438
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: they do, maybe they've seen enough in practice, But that's

439
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: not the same thing as the game yeah, I know.

440
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: But do you think they feel you know what? He yeah,

441
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: he's good, he's like because they the same thing. They

442
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: don't know the same thing with Aaron Rodgers. When Brett

443
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: Farve left, they had seen, they knew, they felt they

444
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: knew the right and they were right. That's the interesting question. Yeah,

445
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: what do they really know about Jordan Love? I mean,

446
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: because they've had the guy for three years, four years now,

447
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: and they've seen snippets in real game, but they've seen

448
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: him every single day. The only time they can get

449
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: out of this thing is after next season, where it's

450
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: reasonable because then the cap hits only twenty four and change,

451
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a pittance by the time you

452
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: get to twenty twenty four with where the salary cap

453
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be at that. But I'll say this, Aaron Rodgers,

454
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: even precluding this rib injury he's had and the thumb injury,

455
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: he just maybe it is his thumb injury. He has

456
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: not looked right. Yeah. Well, he said his thumb has

457
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: been messed up since what was it week four or

458
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: five or something. I think that's when he said he yeah,

459
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: he knocked it. He has not looked the same, and

460
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's thirty eight years old or

461
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: whether it's his thumb injury. Topic on the table for

462
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: you today, Twitter question, which player who is expected to

463
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: return against the Patriots this week? Do you think we'll

464
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact on the game. Got players that

465
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: have been out of the lineup the last few weeks

466
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: looking like they are going to make a return. So

467
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: who makes the biggest impact in this all important division

468
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 1: tilt up in New England Thursday night? You can let

469
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: us know at eighth three five fifty one eight eight

470
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty, or you can hit us

471
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: up on the tweet sheet at One Bill's Live. Steve

472
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: and I step aside here. When we come back, we're

473
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: going to bring you some of the comments from head

474
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott, most notably about the upcoming chess match

475
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: with the Patriots in terms of x's and knows and

476
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: on Tredavious White's snap count what might that look like

477
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. We'll get to that when we return

478
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live presented by Kalada Health, It's

479
00:28:53,640 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

480
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you here on a Tuesday,

481
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: as we are two days away from game day and

482
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna be waiting a while because we're not kicking

483
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: off until eight fifteen pm. And Steve, we wanted to

484
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: pass along some of coach McDermott's comments today as he

485
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: addressed the media on what is the equivalent of a

486
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: Friday in a normal game week? And you know, naturally

487
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the questions surround the availability of some players.

488
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: Last week, we saw Tradevious White get sixteen snaps in

489
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: his first return to action, almost exactly a year to

490
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: the day, three hundred and sixty four days to be exact,

491
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: from the time he last set foot on a field

492
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Trey comes back play sixteenth apps

493
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: against Detroit. He's not targeted once in pass coverage by

494
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. Plays well. Coach McDermott was pretty pleased with

495
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: the way he played. Thought he played physical. Did you

496
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: see him on the first snap? Go back and watch

497
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: the tape. On the first snap, he's lined up in

498
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: the slot and he rag dolls the guy. Guy tries

499
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: to run at him and block him, and he kind

500
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: of grabs him by the shoulder. Plants and throws him

501
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: right on the ground. Do you know what we were saying.

502
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: In the summer, Trey was yoked up. Yeah, he was

503
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: all yoked. He might be the strongest he's ever been

504
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: in his upper body. He looks great. I mean he's

505
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: looked great for six months, right because and I've been there.

506
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: You get this knee injury and stuff. At all you

507
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: do you can't like run, you can't jump, you can't

508
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: lift with your legs. So all you do is bench

509
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: and do high pools and lat pools and bicep curls

510
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: and try you know, all that stuff. You work your

511
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: upper body because you're waiting around for your leg to heal.

512
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: You can't do any lower body work. And Yeah, hangs

513
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: out with you for a little bit after you start

514
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: getting back on your feet, because once you start running again,

515
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: it's really difficult to do a lot of things that

516
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: you could do when you weren't doing that because when

517
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: you run, I mean athletes will tell you this if

518
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: you if you don't run and all you do is lift,

519
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: you get strong and you can do all this stuff.

520
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: But when you doon as you start running, man, it's

521
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to put weight on. It's hard to

522
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: push more weight, it's hard to get stronger all that

523
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: because running really really sucks the energy out of your body.

524
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: So coach was naturally asked today after sixteen reps last week,

525
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: is the plan here to increase tradevious White's rep count

526
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: this week? Here's what coach said, Yeah, and whether it

527
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: was a division opponent or not, so out we'd be

528
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: trying to increase increased trades rep counts. So we'll see

529
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: where that goes as we move forward here. So no

530
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: definitive amount given, And sometimes the flow of the game

531
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: can compromise how much you know you go in with

532
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: a plan. Last week, for example, coach said the plan

533
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: was fifteen to twenty reps and he got sixteen snaps

534
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: basically the first two drives by the Detroit offense, Trey

535
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: was on the field, and that was it done for

536
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: the day. Where do we think the rep count goes

537
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: this week? You think it doubles. Probably it's thirty to four.

538
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: Imagine you'll go to a a halftime. Oh you think he

539
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: plays a half? Yeah, maybe he was a couple of series,

540
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: depending on how successful they are, and you know, if

541
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: they go three and out, a bunch it may extend

542
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: it deeper into the game, you know what I'm saying,

543
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: And depending on how that goes, because you know, it's

544
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: like the preseason, it's hard to get a you know,

545
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: get a set number of snaps because all of a sudden,

546
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: you're three plays into a ten play drive and your

547
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: snap counts up. Then you walk off the field and

548
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: this the other guy comes in the middle of the series.

549
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird. I would say, they'll do that.

550
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: And when once you get into like twenty snaps or

551
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: twenty five snaps, you're gonna have half a game, you know,

552
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: or there abouts, depending on how the halves break up

553
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: and the possessions. So yeah, it may be that he

554
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: goes like, I'm give me half til halftime or let

555
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: me come in in the second half of the game

556
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: or something like that. That would be harder to do.

557
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: I agree, I would agree. I mean, you still have

558
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: warm up time, you know, after halftime, but not nearly

559
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: as much of a warm up as you do before

560
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: the games. It's much more controlled leading up to those reps. Yeah. Uh.

561
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: The other comment that we wanted to pass along to

562
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: you from coach McDermott this morning, when he met the media.

563
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: Was his message to the defensive line in the absence

564
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: of von Miller going into this game. Yeah, I mean,

565
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: just like it would be to any anyone who has

566
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: to step in, is it's next man up. And you know,

567
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: Vonn was vonn was brought here for a reason, but

568
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: we also drafted aj and Boogie and Gray for a

569
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: reason as well. So it's now is their time and

570
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: their opportunity to step up and to go for it.

571
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: And you know, the foundation that that they are or

572
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: should be for us as we continue to move forward,

573
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: and von certantly being a piece of that, is that

574
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: foundation by those three is an important cornerstone of who

575
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: we are and what we're trying to become as a

576
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: defense in a front. In this case, I think for

577
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: for the Bills, not having von Miller is not going

578
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: to be debilitating for this defense. And I think for

579
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: this reason, the next three weeks you're facing pocket quarterbacks.

580
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: You've got Mac Jones, Mike White too, Autaga Voloa guys

581
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: that for the most part do not run. They can

582
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: move if needed, but they don't make it a habit,

583
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: I guess is what I'm saying. Right last week against

584
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, after Von Miller leaves the game. What happened

585
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: in the second half when the guys on the back end,

586
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: we're getting picked on. Coach Coach Frasier starts dialing up

587
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: the blitz calls. Here comes Matt Milano, Jerry Goff gets

588
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: skittish in the pocket, and their offense kind of struggles

589
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: for a couple of series. I expect them to turn

590
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: to that page again. Now the circumstances might be a

591
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: little bit different because in that game last week, the

592
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: Bills were down to three defensive ends Shack Lawson, Boogie

593
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: Basham and Michael Love. That's all they had. Were thin,

594
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: so they needed the linebackers to be a part of

595
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: the blitz game, the pass rush, etc. And Matt Milano

596
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: was the main player in that. Now this week, you're

597
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna probably have Greg Russo, aj Epinessa in the end

598
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: rotation and Tremaine Edmonds at linebacker with Milano. Again. Now

599
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: to mention the fact that your defensive tackles are all healthy.

600
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: Did you hear ed Oliver this week? So he was asked, hey,

601
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: you know you guys are down at the defensive end position. No, Vaughan,

602
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: you know you guy, He's gonna be able to hold

603
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: it down. He goes, Well, last I checked, all four

604
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: defensive tackles are healthy. We can do it. Yeah, And

605
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm also going to say this. Yesterday doing the show,

606
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking to senior NFL writer for the Boston Globe,

607
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: Ben Voland he said, Hey, look, last week, the offensive

608
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: line did okay against Minnesota, one of the worst defenses

609
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: in football. He goes, it's a major step up in competition.

610
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: This week, he goes, and all season long, he said,

611
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: this offensive line for the Patriots has been an abomination,

612
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: an abomination of offensive football. So advantage Buffalo and this

613
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: one when it comes to Patriots O line, Bill's D line.

614
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: The hard part about it, even without vun the hard

615
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: part becomes it there's two things. One, you think you've

616
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: got the advantage their defensive line wise against their offensive

617
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: line talent wise and schematically, and the way they've been

618
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: playing up to this year. The question is how much

619
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: of an advantage is going to be when they actually

620
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: get in there bang heads. And Two, what do the

621
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: Patriots anticipate their problems being? Are they looking at this

622
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: the same way other people are, like you and I

623
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: and Ben Volein, do they see this as a mitch

624
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: match themselves, and if they do, what's their counter? They say, Listen,

625
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: we're not going to be able to hold up on

626
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: these guys if we have to drop back every snap

627
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: and go five step drop or go out a shotgun,

628
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: go empty. We're not going to hold up five on four.

629
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: What's their plan going to be? What have they done

630
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: to counteract that in other games? And you have to

631
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: have a plan for that, And then the chess match begins,

632
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: because there's no magic elixir for winning a football game

633
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: of that nature. Certainly, if you can get constant pressure

634
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: with only four guys rushing and it's quick, that's a

635
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: huge problem for any offense. But there are things you

636
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: can do to get rid of the ball fast. Can

637
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: the Bills counteract that with their secondary and their linebackers

638
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: and other things that they can do. We'll see. But

639
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: that's where the chess match is. How do the Patriots

640
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: see that mismatch if it isn't such a such a

641
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: mitch mismatch, if it turns out to be, what's their

642
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: plan and can you have a counter for it? And

643
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: then once that all takes place, Okay, what's their adjustment?

644
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: What's their play because they're not gonna come in there

645
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: thinking and hoping this works and not do anything else.

646
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: What's their plan be this It becomes a game of adjustments.

647
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: We've seen it a million times, you know, all through

648
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: the Sean McDermott era and Leslie Frazier era. You got

649
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: to adjust to it and have an answer for it

650
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: because all too well, you know, we saw it last year,

651
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: even in the playoff game where the Bills were perfect

652
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: offensively early in that game, the Patriots got down there

653
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: and until the Micah Hyde interception that was on a

654
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: guy that was open for a second, Patriots removing the football.

655
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But you know, let's not forget this though. Okay,

656
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: the Bills are getting some horses back here. I mean

657
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau first round pick, Tremaine Edmonds, first round pick,

658
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: and let's not forget this. Both games against the Patriots

659
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: last year. No Tredavious White, he had already torn his

660
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: acl before the Bills even played the Patriots in either

661
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: of the two games last year. That's three first rounders,

662
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: bro that are in the lineup. On defense. They're getting

663
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: some guys with some traits back in the lineup. They're

664
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: getting no Trey White in the Patriots games last year. Yeah,

665
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: that's true. I forgot about that. Boogie Basham is a

666
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: second round pick two. They've got some guys with some traits,

667
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: and they've got some bigger guys down inside than they

668
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: had last year. Harris, you know, Harrison Phillips isn't there

669
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: any Starlettula is not there anymore. But right, so, now

670
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: you've got better guys in there. You got Tim Settle,

671
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: you got de Kwon Jones, you got Ed Oliver, and

672
00:39:55,080 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: you've got the big guy, Big Phil. Yeah, Jordan Jordan Phillips.

673
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: That's a different that's a better crew. That's a wrecking crew. Bro. Yeah,

674
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: they are better down inside, and I think it's gonna

675
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: make it more difficult for the Patriots to run. Just

676
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: hand it off and run it. Um, we'll see. But

677
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: that's where I think this game is this week. I

678
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: think it's it's that matchup and what Mac Jones can

679
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: do against it with those guys on the outside. Um,

680
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: it's crucial. Let's take a quick phone call at eight

681
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: three fifty fifty two five fifty we go to Judy

682
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Judy, what do you got for us? Hold on?

683
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: Let me pull you up here, let me try again.

684
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: What do you got for us, Junior? On one Bill's life?

685
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'm afraid this is deja vu all over again.

686
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: The names may be different, but really that the whole

687
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: the whole personnel have not changed that much on this

688
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: team and we are facing at least four tough games

689
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: coming up. Um. I hope that they're up to it.

690
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: I hope the thing get gave Davis to the point

691
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: where he was last year. Because there's something fundamentally missing

692
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: on this team. I can't go into any game and

693
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: really feel positive about it anymore. So I'm just hoping.

694
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: Right now. Our record is pretty good, but as I say,

695
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: we could lose three games easily coming up, and I

696
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: don't know where that puts us in the playoffs. Oh

697
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: it's over there. Yeah. And the reason I think, the

698
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: reason I feel about it like you do, Judy, is

699
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: that when the Bills are losing games, are struggling, it's

700
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: they can't get it together. I don't think they meet themselves.

701
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: They've never I don't see any team on their schedule,

702
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: even even the Bengals, the Dolphins, none of these teams.

703
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: If the Bills play their best they are to me unbeatable.

704
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: They are the best team in the league. They are

705
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl favorites we saw in the preseason. They're

706
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: the team that everybody was talking about. They're the team

707
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: that went into the Thursday night opener and hung thirty

708
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 1: one on the Rams and forty one in Week two.

709
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: That's that team. They're just playing, they're just smoking when

710
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: they're on, hitting on all cylinders. But they're their own

711
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: worst enemies. They're their own worst enemies. They turn the

712
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: football over more than anybody in the league, or at

713
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: least as much as it and they do it in

714
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: the time when they need to not do it. They've

715
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: not only taken points off the boards, they've taken them

716
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: away from themselves and given their opponents opportunities. That's a crusher,

717
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: and that gives you this idea that, man, any team

718
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: out there could take advantage of what the Bills do

719
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: to themselves and beat them. And that's a problem. Getting

720
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: on board with the Super Bowl favorites that we all

721
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 1: thought that they were going to beat, that they were

722
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: coming into the season. That really sabotages your passion and

723
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: your optimism for how these games could go. But we

724
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: all know I think I still think that when this

725
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: team hits on all cylinders and plays their football, ain't

726
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: nobody's staying with them. The problem is we don't see

727
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: it enough. We don't see him do it enough because

728
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: they you know, it's the cliches. They shoot themselves in

729
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: the foot, you know, they fumble the ball away, and

730
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: they fumble the game away too often or too much

731
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: to get out in front. I mean, they're they're good.

732
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: They are. They beat They beat the the Packers by ten,

733
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: they beat the Browns by eight. You know, they beat

734
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: the Lions by three, all in games where they turn

735
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: the football over too much, you know. And then the

736
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: two losses the Jets and the Vikings. You know, the Vikings,

737
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. You know, they had three game stopping

738
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: plays that all went catastrophically the other way, stopping game

739
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: game stopping plays. Game winners, make the play, you win

740
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: the game. It's over three times in the Minnesota game,

741
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: they blew it. But they have another red zone turnover

742
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: last week, Josh. Seven of Josh Allen's last nine turnovers

743
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: have been in the red zone, So like, hey, what's

744
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: going on in the red zone? Why aren't they good?

745
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: That's why the turn of the ball over. That's why

746
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: I feel like Judy does. It's hard to get on

747
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: board with, Hey, this is gonna let's go when you

748
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 1: don't know if your team's gonna you know, not stumble.

749
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: So hey, news flash, you sign up to be a

750

751
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: just aren't. Especially in this league, Just in this league,

752
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: where the margins are as narrow as they are in

753
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: any professional sport, there are no guarantee this team is

754
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: right here. Just give me a game where the Bills

755
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: play their best football and I'll live with the result

756
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: because I know what it's gonna be. Yeah, we have

Speaker 1: available at Wegman's. Snap Dragon Apples the official apple of

762
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: your Buffalo Bills. I had one with lunch yesterday. They're snappy.

763
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: We got to get to the phones at eight O

764
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: three five fifty five fifty two five fifty which player

765
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: who is expected to return against the Patriots Thursday night

766
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 1: for the Bills will have the biggest impact in the game.

767
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: Give us your pick. We go to the phones and

768
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: rich In Alden leads us off. What do you offer,

769
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: is rich Hi Richrobowski and just wondering, when we're at

770
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: a goal line situation, why can't we do like the

771
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: old bridge where we bring in maybe Ed Aliber and

772
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: he does either a play Ronnie back or you fake

773
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: it to him and Alan goes the other way, or

774
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: something like that, something of the other attention off, Rich,

775
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think it's a great idea.

776
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: I've long been lobbying and Brownie will attest to this

777
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 1: that they should put Justin Zimmer in the game. He's

778
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: got some speed. Problem is he's in Miami now. He's

779
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: with Miami Dolphins because they just signed him off our

780
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: practice squad. They lost Emmanuel Ogba for the year, it

781
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: was season ending injury, and they signed him to replace him.

782
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: In the So Justin Zimmer was a guy who I

783
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: thought was a candidate for that he could run. He's

784
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: the guy that in twenty twenty punched the ball out

785
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton's arms in the last two minutes of

786
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots game to win the game for the Bills

787
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: that defensive line. He's kind. He was a try hard,

788
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 1: overachiever kind of guy. A little undersized for a defensive tackle,

789
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: but he's a little bit more like the guy Picard

790
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Big three hundred pound guy who can, who's

791
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: got some athleticism, who can catch, you, can run it,

792
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 1: can gives m multitude of things because he's so big,

793
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: and if you put him in a different spot where

794
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now he's matched up on a

795
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty five pound linebacker or a corner

796
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: or a safety, he wins the physical battle in a

797
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 1: red zone situation. Yeah, the one thing you worry about

798
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: is is he confident in holding the football and not

799
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: fumbling it. That's a problem, but that's for everybody, not

800
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: just those guys. But I agree with you. I think

801
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: it's an underused part of the game that goes overlooked.

802
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: The bigger the guy is with the ball, the herder

803
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: he is to stop in his momentum. That's why now

804
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: on these quarterback sneaks, you've got teams lining two backs

805
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: right behind the quarterback snap it, and all three of

806
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: those guys are in there plus the fourth guy, and

807
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: the more weight you have going in, they're easier it

808
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: is to push the pile forward for a yard or so.

809
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you. The problem is when you

810
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: start hand in the ball to people who aren't used

811
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: to handling the ball, you get a lot more fumbles

812
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: and problems with exchanges and it's not that easy to do.

813
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: And with all the red zone turnovers this team has had,

814
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening, right, So there's saying there's

815
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: a it's a double edged sword in that respect. But

816
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: I get your point, and it's great. It makes a

817
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: lot of sense. It's it's logical, and I would think

818
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: that they probably have explored it, and the reason we

819
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: haven't seen it is because they don't like the results

820
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: of the look of those explorations. Yeah, let's go back

821
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: to the phones and to John in Baltimore. What do

822
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,479
Speaker 1: you got for us? John? Hey, good afternoon, guys, Thank

823
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,760
Speaker 1: you for taking my car. A couple of things. Um,

824
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: why don't we call cope easily or maybe Manus Sanders

825
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: to get the group together and for one more run. Um,

826
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: I think you know, the guys know system and all that,

827
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: but also one more saying, Um, I know the Patriots

828
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: are wearing their throwback uniforms Thursday. I thought it would

829
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: be so cool if the ability they're so back on

830
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: at the same time, that that look would be so awesome.

831
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: You know, if he the old helmets, the AFL helmets,

832
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I think it would be

833
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: pretty cool. But yeah, yeah, I get you, I get you. Yeah,

834
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: it'd kind of be cool to go back and see

835
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: those two uniforms take each other on again. As for

836
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 1: the other thing, signing Cole Beasley, Uh, yeah, Cole Beasley's done.

837
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: He's he's done with it. He added. He was signed

838
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this year, lasted about

839
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: three days and decided he was done with it. Um

840
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: so he doesn't want to play anymore. By his own words,

841
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: not anything that I'm saying. Yeah, he was out hunting

842
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: last week with Yead. So I get your idea. And

843
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: that's why that's kind of a little bit like why

844
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: John Brown was brought back in. You bring guys in

845
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: that you trust that and also that who can get

846
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: acclimated quicker, who've been in the system a little bit more.

847
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: John Brown would be probably the most likely candidate. I

848
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: don't know that they're I mean, uh, I mean, because

849
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: all the other guys that Bills have not are not

850
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: part of the Bills plan right now, are playing like

851
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: Zay Jones. You know, guys like that and Isaiah Hodgens.

852
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: You saw he was on the field last night. You

853
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: got guys like that around the league, but unfortunately they

854
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: weren't good enough to play here. They're playing someplace else.

855
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's a very small list of guys you

856
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 1: could call in. John Brown was one of those guys

857
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: on that list, and here he is. So you can

858
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: bet that they're kicking the bushes looking for guys who

859
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: they think can help them. And I don't think it

860
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: has anything to do with they're not happy with the

861
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: guys they got. I think they just want some depth.

862
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean Kumo, he's on IR so he's

863
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: out of the equation. So you're four receivers every week.

864
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 1: Tanner Gentry has been the call up the last couple

865
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: of weeks, but his best value is probably on special teams.

866
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I mean, John Brown could be up

867
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: this week for a package of plays. I think it's

868
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: unlikely because you know, you want to kind of ramp

869
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: him up, get him into game shape. You don't want

870
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: him to go out there run five routes and pull

871
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: a hammy, you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly, then

872
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: you don't have him for four weeks. I think that's

873
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: what happened to Xavier Rhodes when he came here. They

874
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: want some guys who can come in, and they want

875
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: him to be able to win physically too. Um. You

876
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: know that's why Isaiah mackenzie's out there. He can outrun

877
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people and he's he's playing this team. Yeah,

878
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: and he wants to catch the ball, you know. So

879
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: uh Khalil Shakir, who is a headsey player kind of

880
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: he's not as physically gifted speed wise as McKenzie is. Um,

881
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: but he's he's a valuable commodity because he knows the

882
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: offense he can play, and he may be able to

883
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: play different spots. So, you know, I think John Brown's

884
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: here as a as a guy that hey, listen, we

885
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: need you to take you fifteen twenty plays this game

886
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: to give us some arrest with Gabe Davis or arrest

887
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: with you know, Digs or whoever it is. So yeah,

888
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: I think they're I think they're thin bodies that they

889
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: know and can get acclimated quickly and can be a

890
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 1: help of a help until you know Kumarro gets back. Yeah,

891
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: we shall see. But they are getting healthier, which is good.

892
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: I know the injuries keep coming, but at least you're

893
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: getting some people back this week, especially as you're starting

894
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: this division stint here for the next three weeks. We'll

895
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: take a break when we come back. More of your

896
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: phone calls as we're asking you which player who is

897
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: expected to return against the Patriots will have the biggest

00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: impact for Buffalo in the game Thursday night. We're back

910
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: White's getting more playing time. Maybe it's aj Epenesa. Maybe

911
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: it's Mitch Morse at the center spot. You'll let us know.

912
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: At eight oh three, five fifty. Let's go to the phones,

913
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: and there is an open line for you there, so

914
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: be sure to chime in if you want to. But

915
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: we go in the meantime to Dave in Florida. What

916
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: do you got for his? Dave? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey,

917
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: how you guys doing today? Good? Doing good? All right, listen,

918
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: the guy to come back of injury is going to

919
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 1: be a Russ Rus is the guy. I want him back,

920
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: and I think he's going to do the job. But

921
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 1: I have another question for you. Okay, okay, Now, Hines

922
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: and Cook, the two the one that runs back to

923
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: kicks and the other one comes in the means to

924
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: running back, right, can you want on them be a

925
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: basically eiven one of those two? Now they can be

926
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: in the slot. I mean especially, I mean both of

927
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: those guys have route running ability. Dave. First of all,

928
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 1: nihiim Hines went to NC State as a receiver. He

929
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: was recruited as a receiver there and played receiver his

930
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: first year in college and then kind of transition to

931
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: a do everything back for the Wolfpack in college. So

932
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: he has route running experience and he did a lot

933
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: of that for the Colts where he was before he

934
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: got here via trade. And James Cook was one of

935
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,240
Speaker 1: the most polished route running backs in the entire draft

936
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: class this year. So they are more than capable of

937
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: doing it. You go watch James Cook's college tape, He's

938
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 1: lining up outside the numbers and running routes. Yeah, so

939
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: they are capable of doing that stuff. It's just a

940
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: matter of how you incorporate them into the scope of that.

941
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: James Cook, I think is still in the process of

942
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: earning some trust. He's dropped some pass He's still dropping

943
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: passes a little too much. He gets limited opportunities because

944
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: in the limited opportunities there's two higher ratio of uncertain

945
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: ball handling. I think even in a small little shuffle

946
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: pass he took the other day, it took him like

947
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: three tries to grab the ball in Detroit. He dropped

948
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: a nice old out route in Detroit that would have

949
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: given him a second and four instead of a second

950
00:55:55,520 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: and ten that kind of stuff. Certainly he's got some ability,

951
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: and I think Nahem Hines is of the same kind

952
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: of ilk no question about it. Why they're not thrown

953
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: in and incorporated more into the offense. It becomes a

954
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: bigger question the more weeks that pass and Cook's. In

955
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: Cook's defense or in his case, I think it's different

956
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: than it is in Hines's case. Hines, I think Cook

957
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: is still ahead of him in the pecking order, and

958
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: Hines has also proven his worth on the in the

959
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: kick return game and all of that stuff too on

960
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,479
Speaker 1: special teams, so he's kind of got a role he's

961
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 1: expanding on that side of the football rather than on offense.

962
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: And I think the team is still trying to just

963
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: do everything they can do to get James Cook on

964
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: track and stay there without it being a little bit

965
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: of a roller coaster as to how the play is

966
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: going to turn out when they get him the ball

967
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: or attempt to get him the ball. So I think

968
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: that's where you're at. Hines is kind of killing it

969
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,399
Speaker 1: in what they given him to do, but he's still

970
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: because of the way they do their culture, and I

971
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: agree with it, he's got to earn it, and James

972
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: Cook has got to unearn it because James Cook has

973
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: been doing some things, so you can't. I say, hey,

974
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: put them both on the same time. Okay, fine, who's

975
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: coming off you know? And I don't? And who's not

976
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: getting the ball? Because those two guys are on the field. Yeah,

977
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know how they're going to handle it

978
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: this week. Last week against the Lions, fifteen plays of

979
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: empty backfield and there was some production there. I mean,

980
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: Josh was like eight of eleven, four hundred and forty

981
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: yards passing. He did get sacked twice on a couple

982
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: of empty back For what it does is it paints

983
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: the picture for Josh better. So for a defense like

984
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots in particular, who are very good at disguising

985
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: it looks like a zone all of a sudden it's man,

986
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: or it looks like man and all of a sudden

987
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: post snap at zone, whatever it is. When you empty

988
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: the backfield, you spread that defense out and you force

989
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: them to declare what they are playing. And so that

990
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: helps Josh with the read after the snap of the football. Yeah,

991
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: at the same time, you may not have your left tackles,

992
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: so what are you doing personnel wise, there are you

993
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: going to go more twelve traditional personnel, you know, to

994
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: help the left tackle with an extra tight end, or

995
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: maybe you're going more twenty one with Reggie Gilliam so

996
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,919
Speaker 1: you can chip the guy. You know, you're worried about

997
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: Judon Wreck in the game, and if you don't have

998
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: your left tackle, you're even more concerned. So all of

999
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: these are factors that are going to go in and

1000
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: impact the playing time of guys like Nahem Hines and

1001
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: James Cook. Now you can see it too, and you're right,

1002
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,919
Speaker 1: the fact that they went empty a ton last week

1003
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: maybe as a little tiny step in an evolution that

1004
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: they're headed towards. It may be something they want to

1005
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: expand more, or it may be something that was specific

1006
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: for the Lions, say how are they going to do this?

1007
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: And it may serve the same purpose against the Patriots. Now,

1008
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots to me are a team that's gonna have

1009
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: a plan for that. And I think for the Patriots

1010
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: we've seen it, it's about making Josh uncomfortable and not

1011
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: letting him see what's going on out there. Because when

1012
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: Josh doesn't know what's when Josh can't read it, he's

1013
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: not gonna throw it. Plus the double edge of that

1014
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: is when Josh doesn't see it and he kind of

1015
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,479
Speaker 1: extends the play and starts to run around back there,

1016
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: then they've got real problems because he'll either run it

1017
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: down their throat or nick him on a scramble play

1018
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: with Diggs running down or Isaiah McKenzie, and it becomes

1019
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: too much for the defensive secondary to handle. So I

1020
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: think what they for the Patriots, they want to get

1021
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: quick pressure and try and get him on the ground

1022
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: without having him pull the ball down and make him

1023
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: pay for it in the running games just running off

1024
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: and leaving them. So it's a it's a problem for them.

1025
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: But if the Babbles go spread it out and he

1026
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: can get an inkling pre snap of what they're doing, Yeah,

1027
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: maybe they do do more of that in this game now,

1028
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: particularly with Hines and Cook depending on this, you know,

1029
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: given the thinness they have at the depth of wide receiver,

1030
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: maybe given themselves some some slack in that, especially if

1031
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: they don't think John Brown's ready to jump on the field.

1032
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: Is the street it makes some sense. Let's go to

1033
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: Harold and Rochester next. Well, yeah, for as Harold, Yeah,

1034
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: I thought it the player that is going to have

1035
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: the biggest impact on his return. He is going to

1036
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: be Tremaine Edmunds. I think not only bringing us that

1037
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: linebacker play that he brings to the team, but and

1038
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: I think A. J. Klein did did great for us

1039
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: calling calling the plays, but calling the plays coming to

1040
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: a brand new team or a team that you're new

1041
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: to this year, it's got to be really hard to do.

1042
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: And Termaine's gonna bring us a lot coming back to

1043
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: the field of that um. I also want to know

1044
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: if what Ed Oliver has to do this week to

1045
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: get some respect, because you know, not only did he

1046
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: not get a turkey leg, but then I thought, well,

1047
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: coach McDermott's gonna give him a game ball. He doesn't

1048
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: get a game ball. And then yesterday I thought, well,

1049
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: at least Maddie I'll give him a Maddy Award, and

1050
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: she gives away the awards to two other teams and

1051
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: Ed can't even get one of those this week, So

1052
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: that was outright, Yeah, that's a good point. I'm with you.

1053
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, he was the best defensive

1054
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: player on the field in that game last week, both

1055
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: for both teams. He yeah, he was a game wrecker.

1056
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: And you're right, Um, he's he's been a he's been

1057
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: a really he's had his best year. The last two

1058
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: weeks have been dominant. He has had his best year

1059
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: as a bill, no question. Um. Now you can make

1060
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: the case too with von Miller and the Quan Jones

1061
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: and Jordan Phillips, and he should be playing his best

1062
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: with those guys around him. But he's he's gonna be

1063
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: on that, particularly on that Thanksgiving game forced fumble, fumble,

1064
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: recovery of safety. Um, a near sack, just sack for

1065
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: a safety, Yeah, a sack for a safety. Then another

1066
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,479
Speaker 1: sack in you know in the red Zacles for a loss. Yeah,

1067
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: he's all over the he was all over the joint. Um.

1068
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: And then you're right, I've heard of this about the

1069
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: Turkey leg. Um, I get it. It's always about the offense. Yeah,

1070
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: they won't. Yeah. Now if he would get all the credit, yeah,

1071
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: I mean you can't imagine what a defender has to

1072
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: do to get that. But he was close, had to

1073
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: be close, had to be close. Continues, especially in the

1074
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: absence of on because this guy can be that dominant

1075
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: if he wants to be, you know what I mean.

1076
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: There is that much talent there with ed Oliver, So

1077
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: he can do that every week if he puts his

1078
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: mind to it, especially with the guys lining up next

1079
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: to him on the interior. Jordan Phillips has taken two guys.

1080
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: You don't put two guys on Jordan Phillips. He's gonna

1081
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: eat your quarterback for lunch. He Jordan Phillips has the

1082
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: ability to for clift offensive lineman right back into the

1083
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks lap and and he does, and Settle gets penetration.

1084
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: De Quan Jones is an anchor. I mean, they got

1085
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: a great a crew in the middle, got a really

1086
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 1: good crew down inside. Particularly now then they're they're really healthy,

1087
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: and they're and they're starting to put weeks and weeks

1088
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: behind in between themselves and the injuries that they've got.

1089
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, guys, guys are one hundred percent. So all

1090
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: that stuff goes into the into the recipe, and you're right,

1091
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: I ed Oliver's benefiting from it and he's flourishing because

1092
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, let's go to Mike and ut connect.

1093
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Mike? Hold on? Why

1094
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: is this not coming up? There? We go, what do

1095
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: you got for us? Mike? Hey, what's going on? Um?

1096
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I think the biggest impact this week coming back would

1097
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: be Tradavious White. I mean you can play man coverage, UM,

1098
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: and the sky zone on the opposite side. Um, you

1099
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: can do it with man zone. You got pointer back there.

1100
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,439
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be okay. I'm not really worried

1101
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 1: about Tremaine Edmonds. I mean our backup had a great game.

1102
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Aj Klein, Yeah yeah Klein, and watch the

1103
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: dots and they both played well. UM. I think what's

1104
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Tadeus coming back? I mean he's an anchor, he's an

1105
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: all pro you know. Yeah, No, the only question I get, Mike,

1106
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: You're right, I agree with you. If he comes back

1107
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: and plays, you know, one hundred percent of the snaps, Yes,

1108
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's going to happen. I don't

1109
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: think maybe he will. I mean he probably physically. The

1110
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: doctors will probably tell you he could if he wanted to.

1111
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Uh don't know if he's up to it that way

1112
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 1: that much. But seventeen snaps or sixteen snaps in one game,

1113
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: maybe he does feel like he can come back and say, Okay,

1114
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: now I can really go m If he does play

1115
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: the whole game. Yeah, I think he could be a

1116
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: difference maker because of his abilities, particularly he plays at

1117
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: the high level we're used to seeing. So yeah, I

1118
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: would agree with you. But I don't know that he's

1119
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: going to get one hundred percent of the snaps, right.

1120
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we're expecting his snap count to increase, but

1121
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: to think he's going to go from sixteen snaps to

1122
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: a whole game that might be a bit much. But

1123
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: you can get a half out of him. Coach Frasier

1124
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: can call a much different defensive His play call is

1125
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: is much different with a guy like him on the

1126
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: field because he can just take care of one half

1127
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: of the field. Not only this too, but Payer's going

1128
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: to be a weak separated from his injury too, He's

1129
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a weak healthier Um, all of that. Uh,

1130
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, Dane Jackson will be back to getting different

1131
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 1: matchups if Trey White's on the field. You know, tarn Johnson,

1132
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, this whole secondary, I mean, you're

1133
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: you're putting a guy in the rotation at the top.

1134
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: You're not adding depth with Tardavius White. You're adding a player,

1135
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: and that makes an enormous difference for all the guys

1136
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: down the Dane Jackson. Dane Jackson's day is going to

1137
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: change dramatically with Trey White on the other side. I mean,

1138
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: his matchups, his responsibilities, his you know's, the pressure on him,

1139
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: his targets, his help, everything is going to be different.

1140
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: And that ripple effect, you know, makes it makes all

1141
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: the difference for these guys. So yeah, I mean it's

1142
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: a it's a good call to say Tredavious White. Uh.

1143
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: The question is is it going to happen one hundred

1144
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: percent or is this going to be fifty percent or

1145
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: thirty percent? Back to the phones into Clarence in Buffalo.

1146
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: We got first Clarence. Good afternoon, gentlemen. How are you good? Good? Good? Uh?

1147
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 1: Just two things I want to speak about, and that's

1148
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: in regards to the defense as a whole. Um. Right now,

1149
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm at the point where it doesn't matter which player

1150
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: comes in to have any impact. I think what we

1151
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: need to do now is our defense has to put

1152
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: it as a whole play better as a unit. And uh,

1153
01:06:54,880 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: also if possible, and as popersible as possible. I'm sorry, Uh,

1154
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm first, the second down take away, the five or

1155
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: seven yard pass plays that Mongland elects to run and

1156
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: put them further into sticks because they are a better

1157
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: running team when they have four yards than they do

1158
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: with a long distance. So I just want to see

1159
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: what you think about that. Thanks, guys. Yeah, I mean,

1160
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: it's it's not a bad approach. I wouldn't mind that.

1161
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: The Patriots truthfully have had a devil of a time

1162
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: converting third downs. I mean, over the past four weeks

1163
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: they haven't been abud thirty six percent conversion rate. Last

1164
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: week they were three for ten against the Vikings, one

1165
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: of the worst defenses in football, and it's due in

1166
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: part to the abomination of an offensive line. They can't

1167
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: reset the line of scrimmage in the run game. Most

1168
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: of what Romandre Stevenson has gotten for them, by most accounts,

1169
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: has been largely by himself. And it doesn't look like

1170
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: Damian Harris is going to play on Thursday after he

1171
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: suffered a thigh injury in the game last Thursday. And

1172
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: not for nothing, Damian Harris is a Bill's killer. He's

1173
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: got four touchdowns in his last two games against Buffalo

1174
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: in the regular season, and he's got at least one

1175
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: hundred yards in both those games too, So him not

1176
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: a part of the equation is a sizeable loss for them. Yeah,

1177
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: if he can't go. Yeah, and I the Bills have

1178
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: already been really really good on first and second down

1179
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: over the last even then the games they haven't won

1180
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: against Minnesota, the games against the Jets, certainly the game

1181
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: against Detroit, going all the way back, even before that,

1182
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: the Bills have been really good already on first and

1183
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: second down. The Browns game, the thing that is excruciating

1184
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:53,759
Speaker 1: is they struggle getting him off the field on third

1185
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,919
Speaker 1: and eleven, third and nine, third and ten, third and thirteen.

1186
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: They're giving up plays that are a yard longer than that.

1187
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: They have struggled get off the field on third and long.

1188
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 1: They've been really good on first and second down. But

1189
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: I get it too. You're right. The one thing the

1190
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: Patriots cannot do against this Bill's defense is get behind

1191
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: the sticks. They can't get into a second and nine,

1192
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: or a second and twelve, or a third and eight,

1193
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: third and nine, third and eleven, third and thirteen, third

1194
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: and seven, even they've got to be in third and

1195
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 1: one to two, second and four to six, you know

1196
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: that kind of rain. They've got to stay on schedule.

1197
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 1: I think against this Bill's defense, I think that's crucial

1198
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: for their offense. And I think for that reason, the

1199
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: Bills have got to continue to do what they've done.

1200
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: They've been really good on first and second down, and

1201
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: if they can continue to do that, they're gonna be fine.

1202
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 1: Because the Patriots have struggled and you got to make

1203
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 1: them continue to struggle. Yeah, and that's why I want

1204
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: them to jump on the PA Patriots early. As we said,

1205
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots twenty eighth in the league and first quarter scoring.

1206
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: They have twenty five points scored in the first quarter

1207
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 1: this season. It's twenty eighth in the league. It's terrible.

1208
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: You jump on them early and force them to play catchup.

1209
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: That's not what their offense is designed to do. They

1210
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: don't want even now in year two, it's pretty clear

1211
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: with new coordinator Matt Patricia, they do not want to

1212
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: overload Mac Jones with too many responsibilities. He's primarily a

1213
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: pocket guy, a rhythm player, not going to make any

1214
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: plays off script for you or very rarely, and so yeah,

1215
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm inclined to think that the Bills

1216
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: are going to take some elements from their defensive game

1217
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: plan last week and attack Mac Jones the same way.

1218
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Particularly when they're rushing the passer, because you got a

1219
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: quarterback that really doesn't move all that much and doesn't

1220
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: extend plays with his legs. That's what Jared Off is.

1221
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: Mac Jones is the same kind of player. Right, So

1222
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: you some of the things that work last week this

1223
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: week against an offensive line that might be worse than

1224
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 1: the one you faced last week. Right, You've got to

1225
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 1: You've got to make them play. First of all, you

1226
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: want them to beat you. Try and beat you with

1227
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: something they don't do well. Secondly, take away what they

1228
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: do do well, and you know are in reverse order,

1229
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 1: and you got to play your best. The Bills are

1230
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: they're really good. Let's just end they're really good, and

1231
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: if they don't make mistakes. It's a long road to

1232
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: beat this team on a given Sunday. You just they

1233
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: wear you out. Their defense just doesn't give up first downs.

1234
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: They're hard to move the football on their you know,

1235
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: their pass rush stays fresh throughout the game, and late

1236
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 1: in the game it gets harder and harder to drop

1237
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: back against them, and their offense keeps pressure on you

1238
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: all the time. So the Bills, if they can come

1239
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: in to this game not turn it over, take the

1240
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: easy completions. Be efficient on off They don't have to

1241
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,879
Speaker 1: be spectacular at all. But if they're efficient on offense,

1242
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be tough for this Patriot team to beat.

1243
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 1: But that says the same for every team, but this

1244
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: Bill's team. You could see them and there are certain

1245
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: times in the in the Detroit game, there's certain times

1246
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: in the Cleveland game, even in some of the other

1247
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 1: games that they played of late, even the Minnesota game.

1248
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 1: In the they just strangle a team because they're just

1249
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: so good on both sides of the ball. If they

1250
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: don't give opportunities up, they're going to be in the

1251
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 1: driver's seat in this game. They're gonna be in the

1252
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: driver's seat of this game, don't And what has been

1253
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots formula for how many years? I mean, granted

1254
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: with Brady was a little bit different, but since Brady's

1255
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: moved on, they try to win games by not making

1256
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,600
Speaker 1: their own mistakes. They wait until you make one, and

1257
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: then they try to capitalize on it. It's harder for

1258
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: them to capitalize on him than it used to be

1259
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: when they had Brady, but they still take that approach

1260
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: and sometimes they benefit. I mean, when they played Sam Ellinger,

1261
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: who started a quarterback for the Colts. They sacked him

1262
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 1: nine times, he had three pick or two picks, and

1263
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: they win the game going away. I mean, it's not

1264
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: even close. The problem is there have been very few

1265
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: games this season where the Patriots have faced above average

1266
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: to elite quarterback play. Last week, they played above average

1267
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: quarterback in a Kirk Cousins and he hung thirty three

1268
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 1: on him back. Earlier in the season when they played Baltimore,

1269
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson crushed him. He had four passing touchdowns in

1270
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. I mean, when they play elite quarterbacks,

1271
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: they fold like a cheap tent. So I'm optimistic going

1272
01:13:56,320 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: into this thing. But Bills have to stop shooting themselves

1273
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,600
Speaker 1: in the foot with turnovers and they'll be five. You

1274
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: got to be optimistic. The Patriots are six and five.

1275
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 1: We haven't seen a six and five Patriot team for

1276
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:16,719
Speaker 1: twenty years. Yeah, twenty five years. They've got Lamar carved

1277
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: him up. They've got some issues, no question about it.

1278
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: But this is a Bills team who's Achilles heel is

1279
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: whether the team's a good team or bad team. Has

1280
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: given them so many opportunities. They hang in there and

1281
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 1: sometimes lose a game because of it. So and this

1282
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: is a team in New England. There may be no

1283
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: team in the league who knows the Buffalo Bills as

1284
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,719
Speaker 1: well as the Bills do than this New England team.

1285
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: They know the Bills as well as the Bills know themselves.

1286
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: That's there. That's the way they operate over there, and

1287
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: they and they, and this is the same way with

1288
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: other teams too. The Patriots have that way about them.

1289
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: They they dissect their opponent really well. And that's why

1290
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: this game goes south on if it does. They use

1291
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: you against yourself. They let your mistakes manifest themselves and multiply.

1292
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 1: And then you know, the harder you play, sometimes the

1293
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 1: worse it gets for you against the Patriots. We got

1294
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: to take a break here. When we come back, we're

1295
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: going to let you listen in to Jordan Poyer as

1296
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: he addressed the media this week. Get his thoughts on

1297
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: the defense getting healthier and the plan for the Patriots

1298
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, Jordan Porter coming your way next here

1299
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health. It's

1300
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right here, we are back on

1301
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,799
Speaker 1: One Bills Live and as promised, Here is Jordan Poyer

1302
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: addressing the media in advance of their matchup with the

1303
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: Patriots as they begin a three week stretch of division play.

1304
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: I guess just generally, how are you feeling. We haven't

1305
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: really got to hear from you. I feel good. Obviously,

1306
01:15:56,320 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: big week, there's a night football game on the road rival.

1307
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: We're excited to play. What was it like to get

1308
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 1: Tray back out there? It was awesome. It was awesome,

1309
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: Like you said, just even just just a couple of plays,

1310
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 1: his presidents out there alone, I think I said, after

1311
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: the game, and just lists everybody else up. Um. You know,

1312
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 1: he's he brings a lot of energy and we're excited

1313
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: to have him. Keep having them back out there. Jordan,

1314
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 1: how do you guys approach this next couple of games?

1315
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: You always have been very adamant Division games meet a

1316
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 1: little bit more now you got three of them in

1317
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 1: a row. Yeah, you know, you just gotta look at

1318
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: it one game at a time. You know, we got

1319
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: this one and you know, take care of the rest,

1320
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: you know when it comes about. But obviously, big division

1321
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: rival game this week, and like I said, we're excited

1322
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 1: to play on road New England. That's what the NFL

1323
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: football is about when you get into their tape a

1324
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Obviously, Romandre Harris, they're really really good, But

1325
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:39,600
Speaker 1: what do they offer in the past game, Because it

1326
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:41,640
Speaker 1: seems like Mac has really started to play well over

1327
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Yeah, I mean, I got

1328
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: some playmakers over there. Um, some guys obviously agular Parker,

1329
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: guys that can they can take the ball down the

1330
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:51,840
Speaker 1: field and make catches. Um, you know, sixteen in the

1331
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: slot he's able to, you know, make some really nice

1332
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: contested catches, and Max is be able to distribute the ball.

1333
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: You know that you got it going in the games

1334
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 1: like this, any game really to be able to stop

1335
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: the run. Um, And so you know, we're gonna come

1336
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 1: in with a with a mindset we gotta be able

1337
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,799
Speaker 1: to stop the run in order to affect the quarterback.

1338
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 1: When you face the team so regularly like this one,

1339
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: what's the balance between relying on what you know and

1340
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: what you've seen for so many times and then just

1341
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: looking at what you've seen maybe on film this year. Yeah,

1342
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a totally new new season,

1343
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 1: new year, and what's happened in the past really doesn't matter.

1344
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,719
Speaker 1: We know that they're gonna they're gonna be hungry, hungry

1345
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: to beat us, um and and we're gonna have to

1346
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: play well to win. It's a good football team and

1347
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: they're playing well, and uh, you know we're like I said,

1348
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 1: we're going to play able to win. How much is

1349
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 1: that dynamic? Real? Like, you know, we always talk about

1350
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: this narrative of the hunted or the hunter hunted becoming

1351
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,639
Speaker 1: the hunter. And now you guys are you know somebody

1352
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: that every team gets up to play? Have you felt

1353
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,759
Speaker 1: any of that this season or not? Really? We understand,

1354
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, going into each game or any everybody's best

1355
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 1: and that's what we want. Defension games are important whenever

1356
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 1: they fall on accountable. When we fall in the month

1357
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,760
Speaker 1: of December, is it kind of the States a little bit?

1358
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: And how how big they are play? Yeah, you know,

1359
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: I think you're rolling into late November December, you know,

1360
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: games obviously start to meet a lot more um and

1361
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: and you know that's it's almost like like playoff season,

1362
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: you know, um you know, one game at a time,

1363
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,679
Speaker 1: big huge division ribbal game and and uh, like I said,

1364
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:19,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna play what to win. You guys always preach

1365
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,839
Speaker 1: next opponent is the biggest opponent. I know the dynamic

1366
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 1: between YouTube teams have has changed over the years, but

1367
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: is there any extra juice still knowing that it's it's

1368
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: Patriots Week? You like stirring stuff those you know, it's

1369
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: I mean, each week is like I said, each week

1370
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: is a is a you're excited to play the game,

1371
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously a division ribble. We're excited to

1372
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: playing any division ribbal. Um. It's a team that we've

1373
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: seen a lot, they've seen us. So, like I said,

1374
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna play what to win. Like von Miller, how

1375
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: do you guys rally collectively? Is a defense to kind

1376
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 1: of replace him? And yeah, it's tough to replace a

1377
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: guy like von Miller. Um, not anybody on this planet

1378
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: can replace a guy like von Miller. But you know,

1379
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:03,599
Speaker 1: just his presence in the meeting rooms and his leadership,

1380
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 1: you know, goes a long way. And it's it's came

1381
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: a long way to this point right now. Um, But

1382
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, other guys are gonna have to step up. Um,

1383
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna have to step up. And and it's, uh,

1384
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's tough losing a guy life Vaughan Um

1385
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: that's that's the business. That's nature of the business we're in,

1386
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: all right. So that's Jordan Poyer trying to downplay these

1387
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: significance of the game. The media was trying, as they

1388
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: might to, uh, you know, get in to say, oh,

1389
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 1: it's a giant one, we know we gotta have it,

1390
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Look, they know it's important and they

1391
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: know they need it because they're owing two in the division.

1392
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: And that's first and foremost. People can talk about the

1393
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: number one seed in the AFC and getting a playoff,

1394
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 1: buying all that jazz, that doesn't even factor into the

1395
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: equation unless you take care of your division first. Because

1396
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: if you don't take care of your division, the best

1397
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: you can do is the five seed, which is a

1398
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: wild card. So take care of your division. They know

1399
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,560
Speaker 1: the importance, they know the important home playoff games and

1400
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: year path to advance in the playoffs, and then you

1401
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: don't know what else could happen to the last year.

1402
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: Don't forget the Bills had an opportunity in that situation.

1403
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 1: They were the three seed last year. They had an

1404
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: opportunity at the end of it, except for the thirteen

1405
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 1: second game, hosting AFC championship in Buffalo. That's what would

1406
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: have happened. That's what That's the opportunity that was you know,

1407
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: lost last year by that game. So they all count

1408
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: so much in this league, this one as much as

1409
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 1: like the others. But this one, God lead, This is

1410
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: huge because this one gets them back into the conversation

1411
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: with and that the other teams playing the opponents they're playing.

1412
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 1: The Bills could go from the five seed to the

1413
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: one seed with a win and then everything else happening, right,

1414
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 1: And we've seen it already, We've seen turning topsy turvy.

1415
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 1: In the last three weeks. Bills went from the one

1416
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: seed to the two seed, to the five seed after

1417
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: losing to the Jets, back to the two seat for

1418
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 1: a couple of days this past week before Miami won

1419
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: again on Sunday and reclaimed the top spot in the division.

1420
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: So and I think it's going to continue to be

1421
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: topsy turvy the rest of the way here with all

1422
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: these division games coming up. Let's go to the tweet sheet.

1423
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: As we've been asking you today, which returning player will

1424
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact against the Patriots. Tweet sheet has

1425
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 1: always brought to you by Corrigan moving Systems, the official

1426
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and we hear

1427
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 1: from Brian First who says, it's got to be Edmunds.

1428
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: We're getting killed over the middle with him being out.

1429
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: I honestly have a brand new appreciation for him now.

1430
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: Is it crazy how much the worm has turned on

1431
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: the general consensus opinion of one. Tremaine Edmonds. You and

1432
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: i'd be in here last year trying to defend the guy.

1433
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:51,719
Speaker 1: We yeah, remember the cavalry defending that. Now it's just like, wow,

1434
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, why we're dying without him? You're right, he

1435
01:21:56,439 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 1: has and I'll say this too, he's playing way better too.

1436
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: I mean, he's playing better, I think than we've seen

1437
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: him playing a long time. But he's also, I think,

1438
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: come into his own I think a little bit has

1439
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: to do with this, the fact that guy's now, he's

1440
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: twenty five. Now, he's a secure veteran who knows what

1441
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: he's doing. The defense is playing better around him, no

1442
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: doubt either, at least the front four. And I think

1443
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,600
Speaker 1: because of that, he's getting a chance to do some

1444
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: things now that are becoming more and more repetitive for him.

1445
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: Nothing is new anymore. For him. I think he's being

1446
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,799
Speaker 1: able to play a little bit freer, and you're seeing

1447
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: a lot of times where a man, oh man, the

1448
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 1: guy is his presence just makes a difference. And yeah,

1449
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: and you're right, Brownie, the public sentiment over him in

1450
01:22:55,520 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: his career has done a one eighty. Yeah, and probably

1451
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: at the most important time in his career, because his

1452
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,759
Speaker 1: contracts up after this season on the fifty year option,

1453
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 1: and you know, now there's a decision that has to

1454
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 1: be made, and so I think he's proved his value

1455
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: to this team, and so you know, I think they're

1456
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 1: gonna do their best to get him signed long term,

1457
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 1: especially when you consider the fact it's a guy that's

1458
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 1: only twenty five years old. He's just entering his prime.

1459
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy, yeah, crazy to think he's twenty five and

1460
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 1: it seems like he's been here forever. Zach on the

1461
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: tweet sheet says Morse the old line is completely different

1462
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: when he's not in the game. There's something to be

1463
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: said for that. You gotta have you gotta be on

1464
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: it this week, particularly with Matt Judon on the other

1465
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: side of the ball. He's a little bit I think

1466
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 1: at this point he is the Aaron Donald of what

1467
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots are doing. Although he plays in not tackle,

1468
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 1: Morse is going to make sure everybody's got it. At

1469
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: least they get a hat on a hat. And you know,

1470
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: if the thing that the Patriots can do is they

1471
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 1: and we've all seen it, where they stand up and

1472
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: they mill around the line like a herd of cattle,

1473
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: and then they don't tell you. Nobody puts their hand

1474
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: on the ground until after even after the ball is snapped,

1475
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: and it's hard to discern who's rushing and who's not. Now,

1476
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: certainly have defensive lineman, defensive tackles and all that, but

1477
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 1: getting a hat on a hat and knowing when they

1478
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: rush four you're gonna have somebody on all four of

1479
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: those guys is huge, even when they're up there milling

1480
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: around like that. So Mitch Morris certainly can make a

1481
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: huge difference in that. Getting the past protection sorted out

1482
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,759
Speaker 1: is on the center and the quarterback to some extent,

1483
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 1: no question, but the center is an enormous cog in that,

1484
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: and Mitch Morris, you know they're gonna they would miss

1485
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: him if he wasn't able to play jam On the tweet,

1486
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 1: she actually takes it a step further, he says, for me,

1487
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: it's Morris. Josh doesn't play well without him. That's a

1488
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 1: pretty strong statement. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm sure if

1489
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: you ask Josh you'd say, of course, I'd rather have

1490
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 1: Mitch with me than not. I mean, I think that

1491
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: would go without saying. But to definitively say that he's

1492
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, better with like he's worse with that, like

1493
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,559
Speaker 1: I don't know, like doesn't play well without him at all.

1494
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: That that seems a bit strong. I don't know. And

1495
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, Morris is looking good to come back to

1496
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 1: We practice fully yesterday. Hopefully that's the case today when

1497
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: we get the injury report here shortly, and you know, yeah,

1498
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: the line will be better for it, especially on a

1499
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 1: week where it's unlikely they're gonna have Dion Dawkins. So yeah,

1500
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,080
Speaker 1: you hope that is the case. Ethan on the tweet

1501
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: sheet says, Tremaine Edmonds for sure, he will be pivotal

1502
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: in stopping ramondre Stevenson and Pierre Strong Junior in the

1503
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:05,120
Speaker 1: run game. So there's that. Yeah, Yeah, Patriots need to

1504
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: run it to play well offensively, they need to run

1505
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: it in my opinion, Yeah, Ethan said Tremaine Edmonds. Let's see,

1506
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: Jeremy says Mitch Morrise, Trey will be fine against the

1507
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 1: QB to the likes of Mac Jones. So I'd rather

1508
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 1: have the guy that touches the ball every single play,

1509
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 1: just like the QB, be the incumbent to return. Debrah says,

1510
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 1: I think number forty nine will have a large impact

1511
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: because he scares the quarterbacks and he's very good in

1512
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. A good point, Deborah. We

1513
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,639
Speaker 1: talked about that, and then finally Mark I was waiting

1514
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 1: for this. Russeau needs to be that guy. With Vaughan out,

1515
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: we need our former first rounder to step up and

1516
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: show out. I was waiting to see how long it's

1517
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:48,200
Speaker 1: gonna take before we got to Russeau. An not for nothing.

1518
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 1: When Russau gets back in there, he's gonna be fresh. Yeah,

1519
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's a little bit. Yes,

1520
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 1: it's been a month off for him from playing out.

1521
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 1: Certainly he hasn't been sitting around, you know, with his

1522
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: feet up, but it will feel good for him to

1523
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 1: be out on the field. It's gonna so yeah, I

1524
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:07,639
Speaker 1: could say Rousseau could be the guy with the most

1525
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a difference in this game. We have

1526
