1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh a good time, Steve Tasker. Buckstown fucks down, Buckstown time.

2
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: You gonna see if we did a poll. I say

3
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: the word touchdown more in the show open than I

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: have so far this season. Touchdown Buffalo, I say, wait

5
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: to get us off on a positive note. Sorry, just kidding.

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: That's not true. Not true. We didn't do a survey

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: on that. Welcome to the show. Welcome to our Thursday

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: edition of One Bills Live. We are live at One

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive, John Murphy, Steve Tasker, and our one Buffalo Studio.

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: This is the one and only show to get all

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: your Bills information, NFL information. We got a heck of

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: a show today, Steve. We don't deserve to have this

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: kind of biggest show. Frank Greig's coming up in a

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: minute or two. Here, the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts,

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo's favorite. Probably it's hard to get that guy, good

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: head coach. So we we don't get We don't and

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna call us, so we are kind of at

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: the mercy of whenever. Yeah, he'll be coming. He stops

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: his conversation with whoever he's talking to. If I asked

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: you to make a list of the top three popular

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: personalities in Buffalo sports history. All right, let's say top five. Yeah, Frank,

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Frank is on their list. He's not on the top three,

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: top five, top ten, top ten. Certainly in the tank

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: Creik would would get a lot of support, right, just popular,

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: all time popular. I think it's I think it's probably

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: increased since he became a head coach. I agree. I

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: think let's take, let's face it, Buffalo, we kind of

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: take ownership of him. Yeah, you know, yep. I mean

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: he's our guy before he's anybody else. Which Frank from.

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: He's from Long Island, right, no, no, no, Pennsylvania, Okay,

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, I think it's like Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I

32
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: think you're right. Yeah, his dad was a coach, right yeah, yeah,

33
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: but we can ask him. I just heard the phone ring.

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the show this any minute nowt

35
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, Frank Creik gonna join us here in a

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: minute or two. We got Chris Brown reporting from practice.

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas coming up at one o'clock

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: today after practice, hope to get a Bill's player in here.

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: Maybe we got a few irons in the fire on that.

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: So good show today. We had this conversation we have

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: to come. You know, we obviously do some motive of

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: preparation for you. I'm gonna get back to that in

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: a minute because we actually do have Frank on the

44
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: phone now. Frank Greig, head coach Indianapolis Colts, long time

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: We are doing well, and we wanted to talk to

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: you about your team. I mean, how has it been going.

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean we are getting nothing but rave reviews. I

52
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: know your team hasn't won as many games you would

53
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: like them too, but you're getting rave reviews for the

54
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: way you're handling that. I mean, there are got to

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: be more fun ways to be a head coach. But

56
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: you talk to us a little bit about how things

57
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: are going for you so far and what the team

58
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: looks like this week. You're getting t Y Hilton back. Yeah,

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we're Here's what we're excited about,

60
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: and we're excited about the people in the building and

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: the process that we're going through. You know, the record

62
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: isn't what we wanted to be right now, but we've

63
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: been really really close, you know, just having to find

64
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: we just got a fine ways to win these games.

65
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Wherever game literally has been a one score game. So

66
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: but we got the right guys in the building and

67
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: just working to finish off those games in the right way. Hey, Frank,

68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: we had a reporter on from Indy the other day,

69
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: Stephen Holder, who writes for the Athletic dot Com. I

70
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: didn't know this. He says, the Colts are the youngest

71
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. Is that by designed? Is that

72
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: what you set out to do this year to kind

73
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: of build from the ground up? Well, you know, I mean,

74
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: certainly there was an idea of going young. I think

75
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: it ended up being younger than in some ways then

76
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: you anticipate. But that was good news because we had

77
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: a really good draft, signed some good players and excited

78
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: about the guy you know, excited about the guys we

79
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: got on the roster. Of course, we do have that

80
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: that age of the team is a little bit skewed

81
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: by the one and only Adam Vina Terry. You know, yeah,

82
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: you would skew that a little bit. I think we tried.

83
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: We wanted to keep him on the team so that

84
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be too young. Good idea. He's yeah, he's yeah,

85
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: he's really old night and he's ten points away from

86
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: becoming the all time scoring leader in the NFL. So

87
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: that's absolutely probably a plus. I was gonna ask you,

88
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: when you have young players like that on your team,

89
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: particularly all the guys you've got on the young defense,

90
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: isn't a little more fun in some ways because you

91
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: can see the growth right almost every week. I mean,

92
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: the guy they seem to improve all the time, and

93
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: that's got to give you a boost and some glimmer

94
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: of hope for how the season is going to turn

95
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: out at the end. It really does to take a

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: player like Darius Lannard who just has been you know,

97
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: through the whole off season, through the every day of

98
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,559
Speaker 1: training camp, you can see the progress and him getting

99
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: better and better, and that just goes down down the road.

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: The other thing about having younger players is you know,

101
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: you take advantage of that youthful enthusiasm. You know, there's

102
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: just been a lot of good juice and energy went

103
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: on the practice field in the meeting rooms in the building.

104
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: So and I think when you're starting a new program,

105
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: you know, one of the other advantages is you know,

106
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: you're trying to establish a culture and do things in

107
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: a certain way. And so those are all the things

108
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: that I think have been the added benefits. He Frank,

109
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Darius Leonard, rookie who's

110
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: starting that linebacker for you? Is he? I think I

111
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: read somewhere where you send the defensive singles in through him.

112
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of similar to what the Bills are doing

113
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: with their rookie for me and Edmonds. Huh, he is

114
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: your defensive signal caller out there. Yeah, he is. I

115
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: mean just just because he's a guy has to be

116
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: on the field all the time, and you know he's smart,

117
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: he's athletic, he's a leader. He's everything you want in

118
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: your signal caller, even though he's only a rookie. So

119
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: no no hesitation in doing that. Frank. You've also got

120
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: the benefit of having Andrew Luck. He's back on the field.

121
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: He seems to be playing pain free, and certainly he's

122
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: really playing well. He's got he's throwing the football probably

123
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: more than you'd like him. Too, But at least he's

124
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: coming pain free and he's being productive when he does it.

125
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: You gotta like your leader at taking snaps. No doubt

126
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: he's playing. He's played extremely well the whole year and

127
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: especially the last few weeks, and just throwing the ball

128
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: real accurately, making all the right calls, doing a great

129
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: job and protection making calls. And then, but more than anything,

130
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: just the way he leads, the way he leads him practice,

131
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: in meeting rooms and in the game on the sidelines.

132
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: The guy is a true pro and an elite and

133
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: star player. Certainly glad that he's back in the full

134
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: swing of things. Did it surprise you, Frank, that he

135
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: came back as strong as he did. I mean, he

136
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: was out for all the last year and had a

137
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: couple of years recently where he had troubles staying on

138
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: the field. That it surprised you that he came back

139
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: that healthy and that's strong. No, I can honestly say

140
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: it didn't surprise me. I just I got to see

141
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: firsthand the process that he had put in place as

142
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: far as getting healthy, the people he had around him,

143
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: and the work ethic that he was you know, showing

144
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: and getting getting ready again, and so I just had

145
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in him and the people that

146
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: were around him, you know, training him, rehabbing him, getting

147
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: him ready, and that's certainly bearing a lot of good fruit.

148
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: Right now. There has to be a real positive vibe

149
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: in your building. He's been playing well and like you said,

150
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: last few weeks, he's thrown for over three hundred yards

151
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: every week. He's got a couple of touchdowns every week.

152
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: And also this week, t Y Hilton after yesterday's practice

153
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: seems to be back on the field and that's got

154
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: to be a huge boost for him and your whole team. Yeah,

155
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: it was a good boost to get Ty back in

156
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: the field. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.

157
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: But you know, Andrew and t Y have a special connection.

158
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: You know, they have a real closeness on and off

159
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: the field, a real chemistry on the field. That so

160
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: if we're able to get Ty back out there, that'll

161
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: certainly be a good thing. Just a minute or two

162
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: remaining with the Colts head coach Frank Greak. Frank, six

163
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: games into your NFL head coaching career, what has been

164
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise for you? What did you did not

165
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: anticipate that you've discovered over these first six games. Well,

166
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, I was given warning over Hey, as a

167
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: head coach, all you're gonna want to do is coach football.

168
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: But then you're gonna be aware that there's a lot

169
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: of other obligations you have as a head coach, and

170
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: so I was given warning to those things. But there's

171
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: still a lot of other things that come across your

172
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: desk every day that you really got. You really gotta

173
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: fight hard to be, you know, very organized, to keep

174
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: your schedule the way you need to keep it so

175
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: that you can get all the football work done. You

176
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: need to get obviously a lot of media obligations, but

177
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: then there's a lot of administrative and obligations as well

178
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: as scouting and personnel considerations. So it's all fun. It's

179
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: all part of the job. I enjoy every aspect of it,

180
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. But you really have to

181
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: guard your football time so you get to watch as

182
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: much film and game plan as much as you want to.

183
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: I just had one more question for your Frank. Who

184
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, You've been around a lot of good coaches.

185
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: Your dad was a coach, right, You've been around Marv,

186
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: You've been around great college coaches and in the NFL

187
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: as well. Who do you find yourself channeling the most

188
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: as far as you know how to be a head coach?

189
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: Right now? Well, you're you're right. I've been around a

190
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: lot of great coaches, including my dad, but Marv and

191
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson last year, and you know Tony Dungee, Jim

192
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: called well, the list goes on and on. But really,

193
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: you try to channel you One of the things I

194
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: learned and talking to other you try to channel yourself,

195
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: you know you really you try to be yourself. And

196
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: you you've learned, I've learned from all those other guys,

197
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: and you want to take pieces of that and learn

198
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: from their experience. But at the end of the day,

199
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: you got to you gotta be yourself. Hey, Frank, thanks

200
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: for carving out a few minutes for us today. We

201
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: really appreciate. We'll see either Sunday. Okay, Thanks you guys.

202
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: Thank Frank, Thank you Frank, great Colts quarterback, long time

203
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback, a longtime coach in the NFL. We thank

204
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: you for joining us on the Subway Fresh State Hotline

205
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: presented by Subway Restaurants, proud to be locally owned and

206
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: operated guess there's feeling a tinge of guilt that I

207
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: didn't wish him luck. Yeah, no, you don't have to

208
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah. Yeah, I get what he's saying too

209
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: about the time constraints, right, I mean, we see it

210
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: with all these coaches. The problem is you're not it.

211
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: You seas to be a football coach. You got you

212
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: get the job because you're a great football coach, and

213
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: the job is almost not being a football coach. It's

214
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: being a manager. It's being an executive really for a

215
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: big time corporation. Yeah, I mean, these things are these businesses,

216
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: these teams, these thirty two franchises, are big time businesses

217
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: with a lot of economic impact, with a lot of

218
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: social impact. You know, they're part of the fabric of

219
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: the community. And he's the face of all that. Yeah,

220
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: and all these guys from from Sean McDermott to you know,

221
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: Doug Marone to you know Pat Shermer and all these

222
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: guys all over the league, there's so much more on

223
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: their plate. I finally got I kind of got a

224
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: sense of that win. Covering all these guys around for

225
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: all these years, they really turn into executives and it's

226
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: kind of a disservice to them for the fact that

227
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: they earned that job by being a football coach and

228
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: being a great leader, that so much more is asked

229
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: of them than than many of us realize. Yeah, it's

230
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: a tough job, is our. Thanks to Frank Raik for

231
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: joining us, And I do wish him well, Maybe not

232
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: this Sunday in particular, but I do wish him well.

233
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: I hope he coaches brilliantly in a losing effort. That

234
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: it is Thursday here in One Bills Drive, and the

235
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: Bills are getting set to play Frank Reich's Indianapolis Colts.

236
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: And we've got our man, Chris Brown out at practice

237
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: Bills inside or Chris Brown from Little Bills dot Com.

238
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: I confess, Chris, I don't know are you Bills inside

239
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: or inside the building? You're outside the building today? You're

240
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: outside outside the building, okay, with a nice lidside it

241
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: is brisk. Yeah, well, thank you. It's a little tribute

242
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: to Will mcdonnough. So, no, what we got here is

243
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: probably about upper thirties guys, and probably the first really

244
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: cold practice that these guys have had this season being outside,

245
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: not that that's really going to be an issue this

246
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: weekend because I think we're all assuming that the roof

247
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: will be closed at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday. But

248
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: some of the guys are reacting to the chili temperatures

249
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: out here. But they had a good warm up and

250
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: they're moving around. Now, why do you think outside? I'm

251
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: wondering if it's just a taking it easy on the

252
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: legs issue being on grass rather than the artificial turf indoors.

253
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: You think that's it. I know coach is not a

254
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: fan of turf whenever possible, so he will have them

255
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: on grass as much as he can, just because it

256
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: is a little easier on the joint. And we are

257
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: getting to, you know, the midway point of the season,

258
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: and the Bills don't have a bye week for another

259
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: three weeks. So yeah, I think any opportunity has that

260
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: he can get him on grass, he's going to do that. Yeah,

261
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: it's a balance and as if you can get the

262
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: work done even if it is cold, if it's dry,

263
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: even if it's cold, if it's dry and it's not

264
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: that windy, yeah that you need to be outside. It's

265
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: it's a much and there's more space too. You can

266
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: spread out and get some stuff done and it's more

267
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: efficient as well. Sometimes they get off the field quicker,

268
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: not because they want to get inside, but because there's

269
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: more space and they can get more done. So talk

270
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: to us a little about what's anything you notice about

271
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: the reps or anything like that in any word coming

272
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: out about how Derrek Anderson looked, how his night went,

273
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: how it's progressing with the offense under the new quarterback. Yeah,

274
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean he's still working his way through it, and

275
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: it's a terminology issue I think more than anything else

276
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: right now for him. As a matter of fact, at

277
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: the end of Wednesday's practice, he actually asked coach Table

278
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: along with probably about a half dozen maybe eight skill

279
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: position players, after they broke the huddle at the end

280
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: of practice, he said, hey, can you guys hang for

281
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: another fifteen minutes? And they ran through presumably some of

282
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: the plays that are in the game plan this week.

283
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: They ran some at three quarter speed and then ran

284
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: probably about ten or twelve more with receivers just walking

285
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: to where their spots are, running backs going to where

286
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: their spots are, tight ends, etc. So they could just

287
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: walk through that again. Because I asked Derek yesterday, you know,

288
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: I said, what is the dialogue going to be like

289
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: this week between you and Coach Dable in terms of

290
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: what stays in the game plan and what comes out

291
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: between now and maybe Saturday night meetings. And he said, look,

292
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: I am a visual learner, and if I say the

293
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: play call and I don't have a visual of it

294
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: in my head, it's coming out of the It's coming

295
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: out of the game plan this week. And Coach Dave

296
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: was okay with that, because if your quarterback can't picture it,

297
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: you probably don't want it in the game plan anyway.

298
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: So that's the hurdle he's trying to clear. He's trying

299
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: to get as much of what was installed in the

300
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: game plan on Tuesday visually in his brain between now

301
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: and obviously Saturday, when you know that's really the final

302
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: call as to what stays in and what comes out

303
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: With Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills dot Com. He's

304
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: not on the practice field as the Bills get through

305
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: their Thursday practice getting ready for the Colts on Sunday.

306
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: They just begun. They just started practice a couple of

307
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: minutes ago. Chris, you and I were talking earlier today.

308
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned what you might anticipate from Indianapolis. When it

309
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: comes to Derek Anderson, you think that they're going to

310
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: try to put a little heat on him, right, because

311
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: he hasn't played in so long. Well, if I mean,

312
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to be an NFL coach,

313
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: But if I had my choice, you know, somebody asked me, Hey,

314
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: what would you do against Derek Anderson the first series,

315
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: I'd be bringing the house. And the reason why is

316
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: because this guy has not seen anything close to live

317
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: game action in the better part of two years. I mean,

318
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: his last start, as I think we discussed yesterday, was

319
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: December fourth, twenty sixteen. That was all of a series

320
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: because of a Cam Newton dress code violation benching, and

321
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: then before that you're going back to October twenty sixteen,

322
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: so we're two full calendar years removed from the last

323
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: time he saw live regular season game action. This guy

324
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: did not have OTA's training camp, did not go into

325
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: preseason game, and anybody will tell you, you you know, full

326
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: padded practice. There's a step up from that in terms

327
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: of speed and intensity when you get to a preseason game,

328
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: and then there's another step up from that when you

329
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: get to the regular season. I asked him yesterday, I said,

330
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: you haven't seen that in two years. I mean, I said,

331
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: how I know you're a thirteen year event. How long

332
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: is it gonna take you to get up to speed

333
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: and get adjusted to the speed at which guys are

334
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: coming at you, let alone the speed at which your

335
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: players are going to be executing plays. And he said,

336
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a minute. It's gonna take a minute.

337
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: So if I'm the Colts, and the one thing the

338
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: Colts defense actually does well besides taking the ball away

339
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: is rushing the passers, so I wouldn't be surprised if

340
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: the Colts bring a couple of blitzes at him on

341
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: the first series, see if they can get them rattled

342
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: a little bit and maybe get a turnover. That that

343
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: would be my approach anyway. Yeah, I agree with you.

344
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: There's no question the cults are going to try and

345
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: get into his mind really quickly, and it'll be interesting

346
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: to see what they show. And certainly, I mean, the

347
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: Colts are trying to win games, and they've been trying

348
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: everything already, so I would imagine that whatever the Cults

349
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: are gonna put in, it's either specifically for the Buffalo

350
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Bills or it's something that they've already shown trying to

351
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: win another game. So you know, this far into the season,

352
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: it's hard for a team to come up with something new,

353
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: But it isn't hard to picture that whatever they're gonna

354
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: come in with, it's going to be specifically tailored to

355
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: take advantage of something the Bills are doing, and they're

356
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: going to be running it better than they have in

357
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: the past because they get more reps at it, right,

358
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: And it's what do they got to lose but another game?

359
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean they're one in five. I mean, you know,

360
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: risk reward. I mean they can they can let it

361
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: all hang out quite frankly, because they got nothing else

362
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: to lose but another game. So why not? I mean,

363
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: no matter what you feel the risk is, I would

364
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: take it right now against a Bill's offense that's really

365
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: struggling not only to string positive plays together, but get

366
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: any kinds of big plays if twenty yards or more.

367
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: I mean they only have ten through six games, so yeah,

368
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, be aggressive. See what you can do to

369
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: cross up a guy who's only been in his team's

370
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: offensive playbook for ten eleven days. By the time you

371
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: get to Sunday, Chris Brown out at Bill's practice, Chris.

372
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: While we're talking offensive efficiency and pass protection, the offensive

373
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 1: line has a role to play in that. Yesterday I've

374
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: led Ducas, the Bills starting left guard, was limited with

375
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: the knee injury he suffered last Sunday in Houston. I

376
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: wonder if you can give us an update on his

377
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: progress and whether they're using Groy or Ducas in there,

378
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: and what it looks like maybe for this Sunday. Yeah,

379
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell right now, but you know, I

380
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: will say this, Ducas had a rap and a brace

381
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: on his knee yesterday and there doesn't look to be

382
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: any sign of that here at practice today. So hopefully

383
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: that means or that is a sign that being limited

384
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: in practice went well yesterday. He woke up today, felt

385
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: no ill effects from the activity yesterday, and maybe they

386
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: can up his participation level today. I don't know that

387
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: it would be Ryan Groy necessarily at the left guard spot.

388
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: There was some of Jeremiah Searles mixed in there, so

389
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: I think there's more than one potential candidate to replace

390
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: Vladimir Ducas if, in fact he can't go at the

391
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: left guard spot this week. Well, one thing, though, I

392
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: mean tentatively speaking and you almost don't want to say,

393
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: but the offensive line has played much much better as

394
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: the season has progressed. Last week, getting up giving up

395
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: only two sacks to the Texas. I think you got

396
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: to consider that a win for the Buffalo Bill's offensive line,

397
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: despite the scoreboard and despite the you know, the fact

398
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: that they took a loss in the game. The past

399
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: protection was at least passable last week. And you know

400
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: you can say that because you know how the season started.

401
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: When they were they couldn't decide on what the guards

402
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: were going to be, what the center was going to be.

403
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: They made the switch to Bodine and everything seemed to

404
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: settle in there a little bit, so tentatively saying, you'd

405
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: love to see Duke Costs get back in there and

406
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: get them back to the same five they started the

407
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: game within Houston, right, And I know it might sound

408
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: weird to say that because you know, Josh Allen gets

409
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: hurt last week, but yes, they have reduced the hits

410
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. It's just one of the few that

411
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: was made on Alan led to an injury, so it's

412
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: kind of unfortunate, I mean, ideal you want no hits

413
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. So you can reduce the risk of injury,

414
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: and they have done that to a certain extent here

415
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: over the last couple of games. And you know, the

416
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: offensive scheme in terms of game plans the last couple

417
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: of weeks has been less about plays downfield and more

418
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: about getting the ball out quickly. And I would anticipate

419
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: the same knowing the pass rush success. You know that

420
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: this Colts defense has had thus far this season. Chris

421
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: Brown joins us from Bill's practice Chris, I mean the

422
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: other from the injury list yesterday and no practice for

423
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones with a neck injury suffered the other day.

424
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: Do you see him out there at all today? And

425
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: what does that do to special teams in particular? What

426
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: do you think? Yeah, he's he is the only missing

427
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: player out here as far as my attendance figures are

428
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: telling me. So yeah, I mean, it kind of went

429
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: by the board because Josh Allen was the big injury

430
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: headline yesterday, but right at the top, I mean, coach said,

431
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Taiwan Jones are week to week and

432
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: we didn't know what the nature of Taiwan's injury was

433
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: until the report came out yesterday. But yeah, it's a

434
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: neck injury, and I guess it evidently surfaced after the game,

435
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: which can happen at times, although it seems unusual for

436
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: a neck injury, and he's week to week, so I'm

437
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: not anticipating him being available for this game. So you're right,

438
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: there's a decision to be made in the return game,

439
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: and I can't see them going back to Ray Ray

440
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: McLoud this week in light of the troubles he had

441
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: with ball security, muffing a punt which led to a turnover,

442
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: and fumbling away a kickoff on the opening play of

443
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: the game. So I think what they do is they

444
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: turned back to Marcus Murphy this week, the running back

445
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: who has not played in the last three games. He's

446
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: been out since he sustained a rib injury in the

447
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: Minnesota game in Week three, but he was a healthy

448
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: scratch each of the last two weeks because he practiced fully.

449
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: And let's not forget too that I believe it was

450
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: the Chargers game he had fumbled or muffed a punt

451
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: return and fortunately was able to recover it or the

452
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: Bills were anyway, So there's not an easy decis to

453
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: make here for the Bill's return game. You wonder if

454
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: they say, well, with punt returns, let's just put Mike

455
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: a hide back there, because at least we know we'll

456
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: have ball security. It may not get what we could

457
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: get in terms of return and yardage, but let's just

458
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: hold on to the ball for now. It's gonna be

459
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: interesting to see what coach Crossman decides to go with. Yeah,

460
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: there's no doubt Chris, that it paramount to this game

461
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: is not turning the football over as the Bills offense

462
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: or as a special team's unit. If they cannot turn

463
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: the football over, there's no question this game can be

464
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: held to a single possession game through four quarters. But

465
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: you're right, I mean, yeah, I hate to say, but

466
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: you remember back a long time ago, Wade Phillips said,

467
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: he's not really a punt return or he's just a

468
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: punt catcher. And if you can just end that play

469
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: with the football, the Bills are going to be ahead

470
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: of where they were a week ago when they lost

471
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: a one score game last week. So that I agree

472
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: with you. And let's face it, they're trying to rally

473
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: around a quarterback who has not seen as he said,

474
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: he's hadn't seen any live actions for two years either

475
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen, so it'll be interesting to see where

476
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: they had. But they've got to find somebody who can

477
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: handle the football punt wise and kickoff wise and not

478
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: have the concern he's gonna put it on the ground.

479
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: What other things do you think? Brownie? Let me ask

480
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: you this just one more question for me. What kind

481
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: of philosophy are they going to go into this with

482
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: offensively and also defensively. They're going in defensively against Andrew

483
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: luck who's thrown up for over three hundred yards of games,

484
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: got three touchdowns a game, no interception, and this guy's

485
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: playing really lights out. And they get t Y Hilton

486
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: back in the game this week as well. Are the Bills?

487
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: What do you think? What's your envision for this? Yeah,

488
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: I think it's screaming ball control offense. You've got a

489
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: quarterback who's got all of a week and a half

490
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: in the playbooks, so you have to believe that the

491
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: game plan is going to be pretty narrow in its scope.

492
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be leaning on Lashawn McCoy and

493
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: Chris ivory Ton against the defense that does give up

494
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: yardage and has trouble getting off the field. I think

495
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: they're near the bottom of the league in terms of

496
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: forcing opponents three and out. I think they're thirty first

497
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: or thirty second in the league in that category. They

498
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: can't get off the field on third down on defense,

499
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, I think they're gonna try to

500
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: use Anderson as a compliment to the running game just

501
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: because of his newness to this system. I mean, people

502
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: are like, well, yeah, you know, he worked with Dable

503
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: before in Cleveland when I was nine years ago, and

504
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: Derek and coach table Boat said a lot has changed,

505
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: not only in the scheme but in the terminology. So

506
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they want to give Derek Anderson a

507
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: mount to climb here and put a ton on his plate.

508
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: So that says to me, ball control. And knowing that

509
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: the Colts offense is number one and third down conversion

510
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: percentage it close to fifty percent. Even as good as

511
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: the Bills defense is played, you probably don't want Andrew

512
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: Luck having the ball more than the Bills offense does.

513
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: So to me, it screams ball control, running the at

514
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: ball riding Lashawn McCoy and Chris Ivory. I'm good with that.

515
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm real good with that. Hey, Chris, thank you very much.

516
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. You got it, guys. Chris Brown, Bills

517
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com will have a complete

518
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: report on today's practice coming up on the website after practice,

519
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: probably around three three thirty or so. Chris joined us

520
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: from Bill's practice, which just started about twenty minutes or

521
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: so ago. We've we've been busy already twenty five minutes

522
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: into the show. Frank Rik and then Chris Brown. I'm

523
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: all right, if they lean on Lashawn McCoy, they should

524
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: steve the last two weeks. They've leaned down McCoy the

525
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: last two weeks. McCoy's average twenty carries and about eighty

526
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. I'm good with that. And even more,

527
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: let's get your twenty five carries one hundred something and

528
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: they won one of those games and should have won

529
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: the second one. Yeah, let's see more of that. That's

530
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: the recipe, and that's that we've said him. That is

531
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: the recipe for what this team has to do, and

532
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: we'll see if they can stick to it and get

533
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: the Colts to follow along. Yeah, yeah, right, Well they

534
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: play along with us. Derek Anderson gets to start and

535
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: he is the topic of our Twitter poll again today.

536
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: We'd like to get your response to this. We got

537
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: a good show, by the way, you already heard from

538
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: Frank Raike and and Chris Brown had practice. Thurman Thomas,

539
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: the Hall of Amer getting ready for his number retirement

540
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: ceremony a week from next Monday, the twenty ninth therm.

541
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: It will be in here at one o'clock after practice.

542
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: Hope to get somebody off the field. The Bill's current

543
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: roster in here in the studio with us. But we

544
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: want to review about our Twitter poll and it deals

545
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: with Derek Anderson. Believe it or not, Why not? Right,

546
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: he's the man of the hour that the Bill's starting

547
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: quarterback off the street. Nine days later he's ready to go,

548
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: ready to be the Bill starter. Our Twitter poll is this,

549
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: how many games do you think it will be? How

550
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: many starts do you think it'll be for Derek Anderson?

551
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: And we put some thought into this because if it's

552
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna be week to week, we know that for Josh Allen. Right,

553
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: So if the Bills want to keep Josh Allen off

554
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: the field until after the bye week, that's four weeks,

555
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: four games away. If they want to play a little

556
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: bit longer. Maybe they will if they want him to

557
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: play until the season is at the very end a

558
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: little bit longer. We offer three options. They're not perfect,

559
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: but bear with us. How many games will Bill's quarterback

560
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson start the season. We're just looking for a

561
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: guest from you and the reasons why you want to

562
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: pick this way one through four starts for Derek in

563
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: this year. Seventy one percent of you right now say

564
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: that's the number. We've got more than five hundred votes

565
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 1: in five to eight starts. Twenty one percent of you

566
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: say that nine or ten starts, taking you essentially right

567
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: through the end of the season. Eight percent of you

568
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: say that, look, there's a lot of things to consider here.

569
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: How badly do you want to see Josh Allen play?

570
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: How much development do you want to see? For me?

571
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: I want to see a lot. I would pick one

572
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: to four and hope for one to four games for

573
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson so they can get Josh Allen back in

574
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: and continue that development process that he desperately needs. But

575
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: maybe maybe things go well. Maybe you think that maybe

576
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: Josh Allen isn't ready after four games, so maybe you

577
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: go five to eight, or maybe you just if things

578
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: are going really well, maybe you keep Derek Anderson going

579
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: right towards the end of the season or through the

580
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: end of the season. Give us a call on this.

581
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: The phone line's open eight oh three oh five fifty

582
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: and toll free from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight

583
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty, or you can tweet it in.

584
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: We'll read some tweets from the tweet sheet. How many

585
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: starts will Derek Anderson get for the Buffalo Bills this season?

586
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: What do you think we are you hoping for? I think, yeah,

587
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: you're hoping for one to four, But I think really

588
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: deep down, we're hoping the guy plays so well it's

589
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: hard to set him down. Uh, and and Josh Allen

590
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: comes back and can sling it, and he's and there.

591
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: If they start clicking and start winning games with with

592
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson, all these bets are off. UM. You can't

593
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: waste a good season for the entire team, um particular,

594
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: And you can't pull him off the field when he's

595
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: playing well. If they get any quarterback that's in there

596
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: playing well, they're gonna I would say stick it in,

597
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: stick with it, and write it out. I don't think

598
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: there's any question, that's what they'll do. The question comes

599
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: when if Derek Anderson's just getting by and they're doing okay,

600
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: and they're kind of tread and water, and Josh Allen

601
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: comes back and he's one hundred percent healthy, I think

602
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: you plug him back in if there's anything less than

603
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, if the team's winning. Even if Derek Anderson's

604
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: playing just okay, I don't think he upset that apple cart.

605
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I gotta think about that, because that's

606
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: really what the season is about. I don't think you

607
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: want the team to take a step back though, if

608
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: and I you know what I mean, because we've all

609
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: seen that. We've all seen quarterbacks that well, they're not

610
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: the reason you're winning, but at least they're not the

611
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: reason you're losing. And then to put in Josh Allen

612
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: and think, you know, okay, if he can hold it together,

613
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: you don't want him to take a step back offensively,

614
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: because they're just you know, they're just getting it done

615
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: all the way around. So um, there's a lot of

616
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: nuance to this and it's fun to talk about and

617
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: fun to envision, and you know, like me, I always

618
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: spin it positive, like it's gonna be hard to take

619
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson out of the game. And maybe that's not

620
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: the post. You're not the no, but maybe that's Maybe

621
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: it's more positive to think the reason he does it

622
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: because they're winning. So that's positive, right, That is positive.

623
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: But there's also the need to develop Josh Allen to

624
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: see what he has to get him better. That's a

625
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: positive outcome. If Josh Allen plays a lot this season. Well,

626
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: here's the thing that don't forget. If he's even if

627
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's not starting, he's working hard to develop. Yeah,

628
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: but it's not the second it's not the same, but

629
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: it's still happening. It's still happening at a slower pace,

630
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: no question. But you're not in a hurry. Then you

631
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: got a guy playing, well, you're not in a hurry

632
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: to develop Josh. It's like you were because then you're

633
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: trying to win games and develop him. This way, you're

634
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: just trying to develop him and there's no real deadline

635
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: at the end of it. See, that's the best. See

636
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: there are some permutations here. There's some interesting thoughts about this,

637
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: and we want to get yours. Let us know what

638
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,920

679
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: were practicing inside and uh, like it's it's on the

680
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: other side of the wall. So during breaks we'll go

681
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: out and stand there and we sit there and watch

682
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: practice for a minute or two. Yeah, and uh, you know,

683
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: yesterday we're just like we're like, you know, Freddie Fan,

684
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: We're out there, like, where's Derek Anderson? Where is he there? Okay? There?

686
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: You know, He's kind of get excited about seeing it

687
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: exactly right. So it is. It is compelling though, because

688
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: you and I, I mean we sit here and we

689
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: talk about this stuff all the time every day, even

690
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: like last night we saw each other out and like

691
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: every other person is coming up talking to us about hey,

692
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: you're doing this, and then Derek and what they should

693
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: have done, what they should you know, it's just like

694
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: having a caller. And and then when you and I

695
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: we actually get a site it, Yeah, it's you can't

696
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: it's like a car wreck. You can't not watch. Unfortunately,

697
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: it had looked like a car wreck a couple of

698
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: times this year. That's not exactly the point I made,

699
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, you can't you can't not watch. Steve and

700
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: I were out and about last night. We should talk

701
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: about this briefly. We went to a celebration of the

702
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: one hundreth birthday of the late Ralph Wilson, the Bill's

703
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: founder and owner, and the Ralph Wilson Foundation with an amazing,

704
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: amazing gift to the city of Buffalo and the City

705
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: of Detroit. I haven't written down here one hundred million

706
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: dollars to each of those cities for recreational opportunities, including

707
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: the rebuilding Lasal Park here in Buffalo. Here it is.

708
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: Ralph Wilson gives two hundred million dollars to Buffalo and

709
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: Detroit to parks in both cities, the largest philanthropic gift

710
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: ever made in Western New York. One undred million to

711
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: turn Lasal Park into a signature park and to develop

712
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: a completed regional trail system. The same amount to Detroit

713
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: to remake a waterfront park and connect trails in southeast Michigan.

714
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: An amazing get together last night, though, isn't then? I

715
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: mean you were there, Thurman was there. You and Thurman

716
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: got up and spoke. It was really a cool night.

717
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: There were a lot of good people there, and a

718
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about our show, which is

719
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: always how how much fun would it be to give

720
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: away two hundred million dollars in one day? Yeah, it was,

721
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: it's and that's that's you know. Ralph Thurman and I

722
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: both spoke, and Thurman had a real special relationship with

723
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: Ralph and uh I and I owe the guy a

724
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: lot for not only for what he did for Buffalo

725
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: and for the Buffalo Bills, but for me and my family.

726
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: He was great. I mean he was his business acumen

727
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: and stuff. It was really interesting to hear about because

728
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: last night we got a chance to hear obviously from

729
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: people here in Buffalo, me and Thurman and some of

730
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: the people here from the organization. You talked to all

731
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: these people. It was a big Buffalo gathering at the

732
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: Henry Hotel. But we also heard from a couple of

733
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: people from Detroit and in Buffalo and people know this.

734
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: You'd see Ralph outing around and it was like Ralph,

735
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: it was like, hey, Ralph. He was like everybody's uncle, right.

736
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: He knew he knew everybody. Everybody knew him. He was

737
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: a he was an icon here. He owned the bills

738
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: and did from day one. He was like the only

739
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: guy in Detroit. He was persona on grata. Well, nobody

740
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: knew it, didn't know him he was. He was just

741
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: a guy who went to work in the morning and

742
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: there's offices and Detroit and had this you know, multi

743
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 1: whatever million dollar business. He was a very low profle

744
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store, just go out. And of

745
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: course when he came to Buffalo, you know, he'd rent

746
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: the Ford tourists and drive to the state and by himself.

747
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: And he's just a regular guy too. But he was

748
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: not a regular guy. But he didn't have a high

749
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: profile in Detroit. Very low profile. Got me thinking, how

750
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: many multi millionaires are there in Detroit? I mean, is

751
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: there one on every street corner? I don't think so.

752
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting too because he here's here's Ralph C.

753
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: Wilson Foundation dropping one hundred million dollars in eastern Michigan.

754
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: And people are going, who, yeah, who's doing that? Who?

755
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: Who was it? Where was he? Where? A couple they

756
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: didn't know who he was. A couple of speakers at

757
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,959
Speaker 1: sight said they were trying to fill in the blanks

758
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: and people didn't know who who was This guy donated

759
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars to refurbish a riverside park in Detroit.

760
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: They never heard the name before we and Buffalo. No,

761
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: he's and he just dropped one hundred million dollars into this,

762
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: into the park system's lap and left and broke it up.

763
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be maintained too. They're gonna he didn't.

764
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: It's it's too it's to endure. It's gonna be great.

765
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: You did a good job. You spoke Thurm and spoke.

766
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: You were good. Yeah. I just told him a couple

767
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: of stories about round and there's plenty of him. He

768
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: was great, So it's fun. Yeah, good night. All right,

769
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about today, and let's talk about Sunday. Let's

770
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: talk about the future for the Bills. Our Twitter poll

771
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: today getting a lot of response, so we know that

772
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: you're thinking about this. How many starts do you anticipate

773
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: for Derek Anderson? What do you think is just gonna

774
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: be one and done? I don't think so. They're talking

775
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen mean week week to week? Is it

776
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: one to four starts? Is it five through eight starts?

777
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: Is it more than that? Maybe right through the end

778
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: of the season. We don't know, of course, we want

779
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: your best guests. Seventy percent of you say one to

780
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: four starts, twenty two percent of you say five to

781
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: eight starts, eight percent of you say nine or ten starts.

782
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Give us a call eight h

783
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty and toll free one eight eight.

784
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because every time we do these Twitter polls,

785
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, some of them are good, some are bad,

786
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: but there's also these extra nuances that we always like

787
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: to get into. The seventy percent of the you know,

788
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: they got eight hundred votes already, seventy percent of the

789
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: people think it's gonna be one through four. I want

790
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: I wonder what they think. Why. Yeah, that's why you've

791
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: gotta call us. You gotta call us. I don't know.

792
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: Why do you think Derek Anderson is just gonna just

793
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: hold the place. He's not gonna play that well. The

794
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: team's gonna struggle, They're still gonna be Yeah, they're they're

795
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: not gonna win enough games, and it's just gonna look blah.

796
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: And they think that's why they're gonna say, well, as

797
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: soon as Josh is healthy, will plug him back in

798
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: and let him finish the season and develop. Or you know,

799
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: is it gonna be that Josh Allen's really healthy and

800
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: and after those four weeks, you think he's actually gotten

801
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: better and can come on the field because of Derek

802
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: watching Derek Anderson doing it, come back and be and

803
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: he's it's time to plug him back in. I mean,

804
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be. I'll tell you what I was thinking.

805
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 1: This is why we put up one to four because

806
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: of the byeway, right, So if Josh Allen needs a

807
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: week or two or maybe a little longer to get better,

808
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: if you if you pick one to four, and then

809
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: he would come back on the twenty fifth, which is

810
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: which would mean that Josh Allen would get five November.

811
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: There'd be November November twenty five, Yeah, which means which

812
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: means he would and that would be the game at

813
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: home against Jacksonville, Which means that Josh Allen would get

814
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: five weeks of recovery from this elbow injury, which is

815
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more than week to week I think,

816
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: but we'll see. I mean, that's the only reason I

817
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: put in one to four is because board includes Colts, Patriots, Bears, Jets,

818
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: and then the bye week and then he comes back

819
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: to play jackson right, And so you start thinking about

820
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: what his this injury, and he's not gonna throw the

821
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: football for a couple of weeks. I mean, they're not

822
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: even gonna let not even gonna let him do anything

823
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks, and then he'll come back,

824
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: start testing it, and then they'll see, Okay, after he

825
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: tests it, then how's it gonna Is it gonna hurt

826
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: the next day? All right? Okay, it doesn't hurt that day,

827
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: So let's throw a little more and then wait another

828
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: day to see it. You know. So there's gonna be

829
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: a gradual process of him rehab in that elbow to

830
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: come back and throw it like he was throwing it,

831
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: you know, Saturday before the game, and so that all

832
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: of that's in there, and how healthy he is and

833
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: how that elbow recovers and how good he can throw

834
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: it pain free. I don't even know if does he

835
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: have to throw it pain free or can he throw

836
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: it and without injuring? You know that kind of thing.

837
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: You get you get to the point where, okay, they

838
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: need him to come back in, you know, after of

839
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: one to four games or five to eight games, they

840
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: need him to come back in. In fact, by that time,

841
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: they may make some roster changes. If he gets healthy

842
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: enough to be the backup, they want him to be

843
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: the backup, not Nate Peterman, right, I mean that's what

844
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: we're sitting right right. I mean, now, don't you think

845
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean see so that Yeah, that's that's really interesting

846
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: to think about. If he's healthy enough to be the backup,

847
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: then in my mind, unless the Bills are ripping through

848
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: the schedule and winning three or four in a row,

849
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: then if he's healthy enough to be the backup, he's

850
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: healthy enough to start, I would start him. I will

851
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: say that unless Derek Anderson is lightning up and they're winning,

852
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: and what if they're scoring like twenty twenty three, twenty

853
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: four points a game then and they were only scoring thirteen,

854
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: I'd still want to see him play. Really. Yeah, wow,

855
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: let's get some response. You are, mister future Lynnwood on

856
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: the line from New Jersey. Hello, Lynwood. That's your name right, Lyndwood? Yes,

857
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: that's my name is good. Thanks. I called a couple

858
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: of times, but I got a feeling that, um, Derek

859
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: Anderson's going un play for the whole season. I think

860
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: the original player was to sit Josh Island, especially with

861
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: him being a rookie and then he has this injury

862
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: to come to Hill from two um. The second thing

863
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: is that it seemed like Kelvin Benjamin when he was

864
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: inside his interview, he wants to play for He wanted

865
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: to play for Derek Anderson. He was saying, oh, he

866
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: picks up our defenses. I got a something that Kelvin

867
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: Benjamin gonna have a big game within the next two games,

868
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: I hope. So I just think that I believe. So

869
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: it seemed like he wants to play with him. If

870
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: if you look at the past games, when Josh Allen

871
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: to the ball and Calvin Benjamin missed the pass, he

872
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: just got up and walked off, like on here when

873
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: Nate Peter into the ball, when he incident into the

874
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: game and he missed it, he jumped a round like,

875
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: oh man, I should have quit that ball. So it

876
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: looks like he want to play for somebody that actually

877
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: has experienced yeah, or I mean it was more accurate

878
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: than Josh Allen. I mean I remember and in this game, Lyndwood,

879
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: you remember that first pass Josh Allen threw in Houston.

880
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: It was a little quick slant pad to a little

881
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: quick slant pass to Calvin Benjamin, and he threw it

882
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: right now. He one hopped it on a quick slant.

883
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: I means like he hurried it and he tried to

884
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: throw it too hard and went right into the dirt.

885
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: And that's pretty frustrating for a wide out. So I

886
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: kind of agree with you. I think, Lindwood the caller,

887
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. I agree with you. I think

888
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna look different. I think the pass catchers are

889
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna look different. You might see Charles Clay emerge, you

890
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: might see Croome emerge. You might see all these different

891
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: guys start catching passes just because you got a new

892
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: set of eyes. Watch. Yeah, you know, you got a

893
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: different guy pulling the trigger. And that's what happens a

894
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: lot of times in offense. As you see a guy

895
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, This quarterback has really got a

896
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: chemistry with whatever Ray, Ray McLeod or Zay Jones, you

897
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 1: never know. Calvin Benjamin talking about it yesterday after practice

898
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: about his familiarity playing in Carolina with Derek Anderson and

899
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: what do he expects moving forward. Here's Bill's receiver, Kelvin Benjamin.

900
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: I started I started um my career off with the

901
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: first time sign on my whole career with the first

902
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: Timpa Bay. Um, I think we actually beat Tampa Bay

903
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: both times that year. Um. I mean, so he definitely

904
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: can come in and play ball. You know, he's a

905
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: football but he's a baller man. I'm excited for him.

906
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see. In terms of getting that

907
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: timing down with a new quarterback, how challenging is that.

908
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: I know it's only one day to day, but to

909
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: make sure you guys are all on the same page

910
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: and have the timing down for the routes, I think

911
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: just repetitions, just keep getting repetitions, repetition with it. It's

912
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna come, you know. I mean, like you said, it

913
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: was the first day to day, next day tomorrow with

914
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: day Pat, so would be more realistic over realistic day,

915
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, closer to the game. So I think smartyre

916
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna be real big for us. Does that help? I mean,

917
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: obviously a new quarterback getting thrown in who just got

918
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: here ten days ago wouldn't be an ideal situation. But

919
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: the fact that you have worked with him, does that

920
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: help make that transition a little bit easier for you?

921
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: This week? Um? I would definitely. I mean, because every quarterback.

922
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: You know, got a different time, I got a good

923
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: different step, a different drop back. But that yeah, definitely

924
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: that I'm something familiar with his throws and with his

925
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: balls and and uh yeah, definitely it makes me more easy.

926
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: What do you know about his decisiveness getting the ball

927
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: out on time? Things like that to maybe get this

928
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: off on sparked and get you moving in the right direction.

929
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, man, he's gonna come out.

930
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna come out, get the ball out

931
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: on time. You know. Um, you know, I think we

932
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: got that established to run his game. And you know,

933
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: I just play off the ball, you know, instead of

934
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: playing it too defenses, Just play off the ball and

935
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: just build the identity. There you go. Calvin Benjamin Lynn

936
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: with the caller was right. Sounds like he's looking forward

937
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: to playing with with Derek Anderson. I think he has

938
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: some confidence in him. Yeah, then maybe other guys, maybe

939
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: other guys don't see yet or don't feel yet. Haven't

940
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, you haven't even play you haven't seen taking

941
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: live snap yet in the game. So there's no really

942
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: telling how guys are gonna feel about him until the

943
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: game gets rolling and they hear him in the huddle.

944
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: Break here more on this when we return One Bill's Live.

945
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: Coming here from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bills Radio,

946
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker, One Bills Live. Thurman, Thomas standing

947
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: by to join us in a couple of minutes. The

948
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: summer of them, the fall of Thurmanism, the way it's

949
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: like fast at the fall, it's like this is his

950
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: season and it's only gonna get bigger than thomas season

951
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: it is. We'll talk more with Thurman about that. What

952
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: he joins us? Derek Anderson? How many starts for the

953
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: Bills the rest of this year? Clarence on the line

954
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: from Buffalo, Hi, Clarence, what do you think, good afternoon.

955
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: I believe that he's gonna start the rest of the

956
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: season because my thing is that I feel that Josh

957
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: Allen's injury is a little worse than their reporting. Why

958
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: do you think that, Clarence? What have you heard? I

959
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: haven't really heard anything, but what it basically basically go

960
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: by is a two seconds of type the same type

961
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: of injury that you get in Major League Baseball with

962
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: pictures and um. Usually it takes a little while for

963
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: it to progress, and then they wait to see how

964
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: things go. And then right after that, you know, that's

965
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: when usually they usually had the surgery. What they call

966
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: is Tommy Johns. Yeah, all right, that's what's going to

967
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: coming on. No surgery planned according to Sean McDermot as

968
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: of yesterday. But you knows, these things change sometimes. Yeah,

969
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: certainly could happen. All we can go is by what

970
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: they say. It doesn't seem Josh Allen is worried about that.

971
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: He's pretty upbeat about it. Yes, yeah, he seemed upbeat

972
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: about it. And uh. And also we also got worried

973
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: that the you know, every all these guys get second opinions. Uh,

974
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: and the second opinion corroborated the doctors of the bill's

975
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: opinion as well. So it doesn't see it. You're right,

976
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: it did seem we got there were all kinds of

977
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: wild stuff flying around yesterday from month to Tommy Tommy

978
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: john surgery. That Clarence just mentioned the caller too, you know,

979
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: eighteen months off the field to you know, a couple

980
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: of weeks to you know, the widely varying accounts, So

981
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: it looks like it's gonna be a couple of weeks,

982
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: a month or two or a week or two. Who knows.

983
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Chris and Myrtle Beach. Hello, Chris, how

984
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: were things in Myrtle Beach today? A beautiful and a

985
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: little Chris today? Sixty five? You can't handle it, Chris. Hey,

986
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: did Myrtle Beach survived all the recent hurricanes? I mean

987
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: there was there much damage in Myrtle Beach area, not

988
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: the Myrtle Beach area, you know, about an hour away.

989
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: They got a lot of damage. But you know where

990
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm at right now, we you know, thank god, we're

991
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: all good. About an hour south of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,

992
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: what's up, Chris? Yes, sir, so, I just my whole

993
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: thing on the Josh Allen and Derek Anderson. I truly

994
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: think that we should play Derek Anderson the rest of

995
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: the year. The only reason it is because every goal

996
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: is to win a Super Bowl this year. I don't

997
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: think that's going to happen. And I just don't see

998
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: why you would throw a kid in there that you

999
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: know still needs to grasp this offense and now has

1000
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: gotten hurt on his throwing arm. So my opinion, and

1001
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: I'd love to get you guys input, I'll hang up

1002
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: and listen, but My opinion is, let Derek Anderson start

1003
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: the rest of this year, you know, no matter what,

1004
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: ride the highs, ride the lows. Let Josh Allen get

1005
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: that arm fully recovered. Let him get all that experience

1006
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: that he needs, and then let's see what we got

1007
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: next year with a fully healthy guy, with the offensive

1008
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: line that's gotten a little better, and maybe a decent

1009
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: weapon or two. Chris, let me ask you this, though,

1010
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: what happens if Josh Allen's arm completely heals in say

1011
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: three weeks or four weeks, and he comes and after

1012
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: the buye he's one hundred percent healthy, arms fine, no

1013
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: ill effects of it at all. Then what I still say,

1014
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: you gotta play Anderson because him coming out of college,

1015
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: everyone that said that he would be great and everyone

1016
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: that said would be bad both said that he needs time.

1017
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's looked like he's needed time. He looks

1018
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: like he needs time to know what defense are going

1019
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: to give him. So I say, you just let him

1020
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: sit there, let him see what an NFL defense can

1021
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: throw at you, let him get to read, let him

1022
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: see what Anderson does, even if it's good or bad,

1023
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: so he can learn from that, and just let him

1024
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: get the rest of this year. I was kind of

1025
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: upset when we threw him in there, you know, we

1026
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of threw him to the wolves. So now I

1027
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: think this is a blessing in disguise, and I really

1028
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: think for his good development and for the progress of

1029
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: his future, we should really just let him ride out

1030
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 1: the rest of the year on the bench. I heard

1031
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: you're saying, Chris, I don't agree. I mean, I think

1032
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: for him to develop, he needs to play. I think

1033
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 1: his development will be stunted, it will be slowed, it'll

1034
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: be it'll go to snail's pace if he's just standing

1035
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: there on the side lines watching Derek Anderson, even if

1036
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: Anderson's a good mentor and a good teacher and a

1037
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: good example on the field, I'd rather have Josh Allen play.

1038
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: But I do believe in full recovery, There's no question

1039
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: about that. I would not rush him back. You are

1040
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: absolutely right about that full recovery and then get him

1041
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: playing again, unless Derek Anderson is playing so well that

1042
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: you can't envision running the offense without him. I don't

1043
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: envision there a couple of things. If if you want

1044
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: him to develop, what are you risking by playing him

1045
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: that injury he injured last week was from an a knock.

1046
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: You're you can't not play him because you're worried about

1047
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,439
Speaker 1: him getting hurt, So let's take that off the table.

1048
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be playing football at some point.

1049
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 1: There's no reason to think that he won't get hurt

1050
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: the first play. After he sits an entire year, or

1051
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: even entire two years, that's a risk that's always there,

1052
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: So you can't really use that as an excuse not

1053
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: to play him. Secondly, what are you risking otherwise if

1054
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: he does play, lose some game, if you're willing, as

1055
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: the caller was, it seems like, you know, Chris was saying, listen,

1056
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: it's not about a super Bowl this year, So let's just,

1057
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, let's just take Derek Anderson to ride the

1058
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: highs and lows. You may as well ride the high

1059
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: and lows with Josh Allen. Here's what you're risking. You're

1060
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: risking him losing so much confidence or being so how

1061
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: emotionally scarred by playing this season that he'll never be

1062
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: the same. I don't know if I buy that there.

1063
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, there's some evidence from some other guys being

1064
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: heard or scarred by that you know where, they're never

1065
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,959
Speaker 1: quite the same. They never trust their offensive line again,

1066
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: they never you know where, they never get good enough

1067
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: because of maybe a bad year they had as a

1068
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: as a young quarterback. I don't know if I buy that. Uh, certainly,

1069
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: it's it's every All of these guys are different than

1070
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: every other guy. The four guys that were drafted this

1071
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: year are different from each other than They're all on

1072
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: different teams. They're all having different experiences, although maybe with

1073
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: the same results. If you look at the bottom line there,

1074
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: they they've won a game or two, they're going to

1075
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: lose a game or two. I don't know. I think

1076
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: you have to look at Josh Allen as a player,

1077
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: look at your team. Where do you want him to

1078
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: get Where will he get there the fastest? And what

1079
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: are you willing to sacrifice so that he will get there?

1080
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: Those are questions that can't be answered without without knowing,

1081
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: without being in the room and seeing the guy play.

1082
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: But I you're gonna find out more about him by

Speaker 1: watching him play. How many starts for Derek Anderson? What

Speaker 1: I was like just an observation for the record, I

1168
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,520

Speaker 1: Jim Bruce and Darrel. You know, I can see here.

1170

Speaker 1: Kevin Harland, and I think maybe Tony Biselli for Sunday

1175
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: Night football. Maybe it's maybe it's Kurt Warner for Monday

1176
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: Night football. So, and I was gonna be the sideline

1177
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: guy for that. I asked out because I don't want

1178
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: to stay sober? Is that why? Basically? You know, I'm

1179
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: never gonna, you know, let my hair down as it were.

1194
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: even with the first one, he would come up to

1195
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:04,200

00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: On and how are you doing or whatever. And I

1216
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: feel real proud of that because I was the only

1217
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: one that I ever said then too. Yeah, you know so.

1231
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: we're receiving a ward just it's because of my my

1232
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: daughter Anica, who a couple of years ago, you know,

1233
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: we had to pull out of high school because of

1234
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 1: anxiety depression just wasn't feeling you out. And as parents,

1235
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, we had never been through anything like that before,

1236
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: and you know, it was kind of a shocked us

1237
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: because we didn't really know what to expect or what

1238
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: to do as parents until like right now, we know everything. Now,

1239
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: we know the signs that she might have of not

1240
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: feeling good one of these a day or two or whatever.

1241
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: So you know, we've been very we've been educated about

1242
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: this situation. And you know, we talked to her years

1243
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: ago about you know, coming out about it and really

1244
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: letting everybody know that, you know, just because your dad

1245
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: played football or whatever, you know, you we have an

1246
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to help a lot of people. We share that stuff.

1247
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: You help a lot of people. You do help a

1248
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: lot of people. Now. I can remember the first time

1249
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: we really came out and spoke about it. You know,

1250
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: even that day years ago. You know, you had I

1251
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: had people that I saw on the street going, hey,

1252
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for coming out because there was

1253
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 1: a lot people that are suffering from the same thing

1254
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: that your daughter is going through right now. And you know,

1255
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: and man, for the last couple of years, man, it's

1256
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: been great to be able to go to all these

1257
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: mental health functions and really hear other people and hear

1258
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: their stories, and so it's been it's been a big

1259
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: part of our life the past couple of years. The

1260
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: big thing about it was and the three of us

1261
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: we all have we have kids, and you know, your

1262
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: kids always seem to think like you know think you

1263
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: know you as a parent, you you've been around, you

1264
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: know certain things they don't because all your life you've

1265
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: been telling them how it goes in there are certain

1266
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: things that come up with your kids. You had no

1267
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: idea what to do right idea? And it's I think

1268
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: the best part about it was that for a guy

1269
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: like Thurman Thomas Hall of Famer, just you know, we

1270
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: didn't know what to do it exactly. You know, I

1271
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: who admit that it's really opens up the door to

1272
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: have people, you know what, reach out and get some

1273
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: help and get some somebody who know it doesn't know. Yeah,

1274
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: you know what I think. When me and Patty first

1275
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: found out about all this and really got into it,

1276
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, we we sat down and said, you know what,

1277
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: because you go through things about you know what are

1278
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: other people going to say? Yeah, we were worried about that,

1279
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: and we just made a decision. We don't care what

1280
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: you say. Yeah, this is my kid, this is my

1281
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: youngest dug Alica is more important than whatever you say,

1282
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, and you know with me, if you say

1283
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: it in my face, something might happen to you. You know,

1284
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: but this is my kid, you know. And but we

1285
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: made that decision. Man. We took her out of high

1286
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: school man and got us some help immediately. And you

1287
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: know it's still a tough road. But you know, we

1288
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: as parents now patting myself, we know how to handle it.

1289
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: We know how to handle it. The curtains come back

1318
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: You moved back here, you played here, you moved to

1319
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Florida and you came back right. White was at the

1320
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: friendliness the city was it? You're comfortable. I know you

1321
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: had Patty's families from this area. But what brought you

1322
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: back here, well, you know what it was. It was

1323
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: a post hall of fame, right and yeah, it was

1324
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: post hall of fame. And my father in law, Patty's dad,

1325
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: was sick and he asked us to come back for

1326
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: the summer right before the summer started, you know, just

1327
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: because you know, when you get to that certain age,

1328
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: you just you feel like you can go at any time.

1329
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: And that's how my father in law was and and

1330
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: so we made a decision, you know what, let's go

1331
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: down for the summer, you know. But we stayed all summer,

1332
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: went into the Hall of Fame, you know, and in August,

1333
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: two weeks before the kids started school back in Orlando,

1334
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: the kids were like, no, we want to stay here.

1335
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: So I end up staying, you know. I ended up

1336
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: calling and uh you know, calling back, and because Olivia

1337
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: still lived in Florida, she was going to university in Florida,

1338
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: and uh so, yeah, we've been back ever since two

1339
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, man, And probably the best decision ever made,

1340
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: because I don't know what I be doing if I

1341
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: was in Orlando, I'll be hanging out with Darrel all

1342
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: the time. So that's not good. The house free Dervan Thomas,

1343
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer and studio with us. His number will

1344
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: be retired October twenty ninth halftime against the the New

1345
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: England Patriots, and who knows, maybe the Bills go into

1346
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: that with a win. What do you anticipate this weekend? Man?

1347
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard switch quarterback? Yeah, I know,

1348
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: I've been hearing that a lot. Yeah yeah, so you know,

1349
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, a couple of weeks ago.

1350
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: I was we were at a point in that game

1351
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: where I'm thinking, you know what, we have an opportunity

1352
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: to be four and three maybe going into the New

1353
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: England game. Yeah, I was kind of overlooking the Colts

1354
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I think as a as a former

1355
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: football player, you look at the Coats and their record

1356
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: and what they're done. Right, you can beat that team

1357
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: with our defense. Yeah, you got defense. These two games,

1358
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: for particular against Houston against Indianapolis, there was a chance

1359
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: yeah you know, wow, Yeah, And they had that game

1360
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: was in hand last week for a minute, they had

1361
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: the ball, they had the lead and the ball on

1362
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: the ground, and right come up with that. And that's

1363
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: what I was. And I was sitting in a suite

1364
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: at n RG Stadium with the n RG people and

1365
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: all of these guys are Texans and everything, you know,

1366
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: and so we really couldn't, yeah you could. We really

1367
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: couldn't really go ahead it, you know when we took

1368
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: the league. Oh yeah, take that, you know what, Jerry,

1369
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: you the ball? You know, I was like, we can't

1370
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 1: get that. Why didn't we get that? We had an

1371
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to close out that game right there? But uh,

1372
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: and then you knew what happened, but yeah, I mean

1373
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was exciting all the way up until

1374
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 1: that point. But I think as players now you got

1375
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: to forget about that. You gotta go down to Indianapolis.

1376
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: You gotta beat them and come back, and you're gonna

1377
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: have an extra day to prepare, you know, for the

1378
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: new England patrons who will probably be what five and

1379
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: two when they come in here, and so you have

1380
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity still still to sabage your season absolutely term.

1381
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: I know you keep an eye on McCoy and Chris Ivory.

1382
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: It seems like the last couple of weeks the Bills

1383
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: are more committed to running the ball and running it

1384
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: more effectively. How do you see that? Yeah? I did,

1385
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: And like I told you guys last week, you know,

1386
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 1: lashawan Is texted me in the last couple of day

1387
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: he was talking about, you know, he's just getting started.

1388
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: And I think we've always said, you know, if you

1389
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: get this guy twenty to twenty five carries a game

1390
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 1: to thirty touches, he's he has an opportunity to do well,

1391
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: to produce for this football team. Man. And like, man,

1392
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like myself and Kenny Davis, having

1393
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: Chris Irey come in and really pound and on the

1394
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 1: inside in the outside, and a veteran guy coming in

1395
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: and doing very very well. I mean, I expect them

1396
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: to probably carry the load, so to speak, in this

1397
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: game against the Cold. I don't think it's gonna change

1398
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: any much through this season because of the Bill's defense.

1399
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: Right You're gonna be within a score, and you're gonna

1400
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: be able to run that ball when you want to

1401
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: run it and not have to throw it to catch up.

1402
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be throwing it all over the yard

1403
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: because your defense is playing so well right now, Yeah,

1404
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have to be. It's not gonna be

1405
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: like the Baltimore game Week one, or the or the

1406
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: Chargers in Week two. You're gonna be you know, you're

1407
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit like the Vikings and like

1408
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: the Titan game, where you're gonna be in it all

1409
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the way through it. Well, you look at it now.

1410
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,959
Speaker 1: I mean, there in the last four or five years,

1411
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,919
Speaker 1: when has the offense, the defense and the special teams click.

1412
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: It's always been one without the other. You know, Rex

1413
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: Ryan supposedly defensive specials couldn't stop anybody. You know, and

1414
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: now we have one of the top defenses in the

1415
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: National Football League. So I don't know if you're Andrew

1416
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: luck who's who I read somewhere is on pace to

1417
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: probably throw the most passes in the NFL this year,

1418
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: they can't. I don't know if you. I don't know

1419
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: if you want to be able to. I don't know

1420
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: if you want to do that against this defense the

1421
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: way that they're playing now. Because we expected this at

1422
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, getting the turnovers and all that,

1423
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. But now you're starting to see these

1424
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: guys come together and look, I cannot wait until Jerry

1425
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: Hughes get on that field. Oh yeah, I got a

1426
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: little motivation. You got a little motivation a little bit.

1427
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: This is the team, the Colts that traded Jerry Hughes

1428
01:07:49,480 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 1: for linebacker Nigel Bradham. Nope, uh, Kelvin Shepherd. Kelvin Shepherd. Yeah, yeah,

1429
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: that he can remember that. Yeah, I see. I've seen

1430
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: a couple of things on his Instagram picture where they

1431
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: had like headlines and traded for basically back and they

1432
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: called him a bus. Yeah, they called him. They called

1433
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: him a bus. And you don't think he's motivated. Man,

1434
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: he's playing well, really well, Man, really well this year.

1435
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 1: I think so. I think so, Yeah, playing really well. Hey,

1436
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 1: what do you think of Energy Stadium? I know you'd

1437
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: been there before. It's beautiful. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, it's

1438
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 1: a real little it's very nice. Little big. It's kind

1439
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: of big, but you're just saying it's big. But it's

1440
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: not as big as Jerry's World. No, you're right. Compared

1441
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: to the Astrodome next it's huge. Astrodome's speed bump next

1442
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, the Jerry world is out of this world. Yeah,

1443
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: I got we got a call. I want to get

1444
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: there and you can answer this, I think pretty well, Thurman.

1445
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 1: It's Larry and Lancaster. Larry, go ahead, you'reund the air

1446
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 1: with us. Hi guys, Hi, Hey Thurman. I just wondered, Uh,

1447
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: do you have any advice for Chris Ivory and his

1448
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: dreadlocks and how that can affect culture? I knew you'd

1449
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 1: like that question. Well, I don't have to worry about that. Yeah,

1450
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 1: that was kind of looked it looked like it hurt. Yeah,

1451
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: it looked like it hurt. But you know, it's not

1452
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 1: a penalty though, it is not a penalt so I'm

1453
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say about it. I mean,

1454
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna change just running style or

1455
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 1: whatever style. That's what Larry's asking. Yeah, I don't know.

1456
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess we'll find out Sunday. I'm

1457
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: not sure. I guess one of the reporters poblers should

1458
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 1: ask him about that right now. But I don't think

1459
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 1: it had changed him up too much. It was just something.

1460
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know who brought him down. I

1461
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: think Clowney. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I mean his

1462
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: wings brand is you know, he can scratch your back

1463
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: Murphy from here. I mean, that's just yeah, that's just

1464
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 1: how that was. Yeah, it's unfortunate, but you know, hey,

1465
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 1: he helped him up there. So Clowney's got the dreadlocks too.

1466
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 1: He should have poured this one more call for Thurman.

1467
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: Here on the line, Jack and West Seneca. Go ahead, Jack,

1468

Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hi, UM, just for Thurman. UM. Thurman.

1478
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: this is going to continue for a long time, isn't it.

1479
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Are you getting tired of it? Steve Um? Wait, let

1480
01:10:55,760 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: me no, no, Thurst, my guy, let me ask you this.

1481
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 1: Back to the football thing. We've got our Twitter poll

1482
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: is right about Derek Anderson? Is he gonna start one

1483
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: to four games, five to eight games, or nine to

1484
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: ten you know, the rest of the season. What I mean,

1485
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: there's so many things that are going on. We can't

1486
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 1: tell what's gonna happen, right, what's your thought? Well, I mean, obviously,

1487
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if a guy's playing well, you can't take

1488
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: him out. I don't think you can take him out.

1489
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: And as much as people want Josh Allen to play,

1490
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,759
Speaker 1: I want Josh Allen to play. But if Derek Anderson

1491
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: is out there and he's performing well, you know, has

1492
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: a couple of three hundred games, three hundred yard games,

1493
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: which we haven't had around here, you know a long

1494
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: long time. Your guy. I think you're keeping man and

1495
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: he's moving the ball and not turning the ball over. Yeah,

1496
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: I think you're keeping in But I think it's gonna

1497
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: be a great area. But I think at a certain

1498
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: portant time, you know, you know, are those wins? Are

1499
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: those losses? How long do you sit Josh Allen? I mean,

1500
01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: because it's obviously I think to a lot of peop

1501
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: when I talked to Jim Kelly about it, is that

1502
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: he needs the reps he needs Jos Josh does needs

1503
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: the reps to be out there. Now. You can go

1504
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: through one, two, three or four games with Derek Anderson. Hey,

1505
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: you know what what about this? We have seen Sean

1506
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 1: McDermott do this before, take a guy out, So we say,

1507
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: what about this? What about this? Derek Anderson's in there

1508
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 1: and he's been here eight days. You know what happens

1509
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: when he's playing, and you know, Josh hadn't ready, but

1510
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: he's but Derek Andersons because Derek Anderson is gonna play

1511
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 1: better too. In a week or two, He's gonna get better.

1512
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna get better, gonna get him a confidence, he's

1513
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna get more. You know, so, wow, that's a curve.

1514
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: So then you know, it's like who's gonna get better

1515
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: enough to help this team win? Right? Right? I mean

1516
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: that's because Derrick Anderson may stink, but then he's not

1517
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna stink in the second game, and he's really not

1518
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: gonna stink the third game, and then the fourth game

1519
01:12:54,960 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: plays pretty good and Josh is healthy, then then what Oh,

1520
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's tough. It's a good Twitter poll.

1521
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 1: It is a good Twitter poll. But and like I said,

1522
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: like I keep going back there last week, I'm glad

1523
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,799
Speaker 1: we're sitting here and we don't have to make that decision.

1524
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: And you know what I think with the players, and

1525
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: I think if he's playing well and they may win

1526
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: a couple of games, and if you're seeing the different

1527
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: energy that the players are having on the football field. Yeah,

1528
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: but the energy has been good. It has been good.

1529
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 1: It has been good. But how good has it been

1530
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 1: on offense? Rights the player has been bad. We're averaging

1531
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: what twelve points one Now, if Derek comes in and

1532
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 1: plays four games and we're averaging twenty four twenty five

1533
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: points a game, that's a huge difference, and that'll be

1534
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: a huge difference in that locker room. Now, if Josh

1535
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: is ready, which I think he may be, but I

1536
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 1: think at that point in time, he has to be healthy.

1537
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: He has to be I think that's the thing. If

1538
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: if Derrek Anderson's playing really well, then they can wait

1539
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 1: and keep him out until he's completely ready and get

1540
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: some reps. Can take a full week of practice, you know,

1541
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 1: or whatever, two weeks of practice or what. Then then

1542
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: you can just kind of wait for Derek Anderson maybe

1543
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: the plateau or maybe to stumble or to you know,

1544
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: and say Okay, we're gonna or whatever. And this is

1545
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: still a learning period for Josh Allen. I mean, if

1546
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson plays well for four games, Josh Allen has

1547
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: to look at that and be like, okay, I'm starting

1548
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: to get it now. Yeah, to get at least he

1549
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 1: can have something. I'm gonna imitate that right exactly, so

1550
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: he'll have something to go off of if when that

1551
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: time comes for him to get back there on the

1552
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,719
Speaker 1: football field. Thurman Thomas, I got one more question for you, Thurman.

1553
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:36,759
Speaker 1: That's the Bills in the Colts with Frank Wright coaching

1554
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: the Colts. You were a teammate with Frank for what

1555
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: seven or eight years maybe when you started here, yea,

1556
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: at that time. Was during that time, was there every

1557
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: point you said that guy's gonna be a head coach? Oh? Absolutely? Really?

1558
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely yeah. I mean here was a guy who

1559
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: was in the same quarterback meeting room with Jim Kelly. Yeah,

1560
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 1: and Jim would always listen to Frank. That was the key.

1561
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 1: Jim would Jim wouldn't listen to anybody else, all right,

1562
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: he would listening to Tator, Marshall Broder, but anything else

1563
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: besides that, he always listened to Frank. And I knew,

1564
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, once Frank had become you know, got his

1565
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: shot at being you know, you just don't come into

1566
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: the league being an offensive coordinator right away. You have

1567
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: to learn. You have to sit back in a couple

1568
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: of years and learn the offenses and things of that nature.

1569
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: And Frank put in his time. He put in his time,

1570
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,679
Speaker 1: and so you figured, yeah, some important time he would

1571
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: be a head coach. You know what's interesting about Frank story.

1572
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: And I did a thing with Kyle Williams a week

1573
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: or so ago. Somebody asked him, do you want to

1574
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 1: be a coach? And he's like, oh, the hours, you know,

1575
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 1: that right, but he said, I wouldn't want to do

1576
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: it right away when I got done playing. Frank did

1577
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: that right, Steve. He took what four or five years

1578
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 1: offering at school in North Carolina and then got into coaching.

1579
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: He kind of finished being a parent almost. It was

1580
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: almost a decade that long. Yeah, and he just wanted

1581
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: to be apparent and yeah, he wanted to He was

1582
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: a pastor to church for a year. Yeah. Uh he did,

1583
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: uh you know, and then he and then, like a

1584
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: lot of guys, he wanted to get back into the

1585
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 1: coaching and it was hard road. I mean, it's not

1586
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: like you can just like make a phone call and

1587
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 1: somebody's got a spot for you. So he was he

1588
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: was a quality control kind of an unpaid guy in Indianapolis,

1589
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: and it was like and he went in there and

1590
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: hung out for a year basically, and then he came

1591
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: back the next year and they made him a kind

1592
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: of a full time guy, and then it was like

1593
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 1: after that they finally gave him an assistant coaching job.

1594
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: So it was like three years getting back into it,

1595
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: and then he was with Peyton Manning and stuff, and

1596
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning realized pretty quickly how a quality guy was

1597
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 1: and he knew I was like all of a sudden

1598
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 1: he earned Peyton Strusting was there for a while, then

1599
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: he was you know, and then he was with San Diego,

1600
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 1: and he was with Philip Rivers and so he's been

1601
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: as pad. Yeah, and we worked with Ken Wizzen Hunt

1602
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 1: Uh Peterson Philadelphia as well. So here he got a

1603

1619
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 1: Just talked to a couple of people who are out there.

1620
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: They'redressed up like it's winter time. It's pretty cold here

1621
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: in Arch Park today. Don't like it. I gotta say it. Hey,

1622
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: Thurman was great, by the way, Steve, he really was

1623
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: kidding him about how it's this season of Thurman Thomas

1624
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: and it is, and there's a couple of weeks left

1625
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: of that, right up until the twenty ninth at least.

1626
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 1: But he is, he is, he deserves it, and he

1627
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: can tell he's thinking about this a lot. He's he's

1628
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,560
Speaker 1: he's mad enough to be attention. He's really you know,

1629
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: everybody under the sun wants an interview with him, wants

1630
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,600
Speaker 1: to talk to him. And he's been great that he

1631
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,600
Speaker 1: came in here today. Our Twitter poll question today, so

1632
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 1: here comes Derek Anderson right going to start this game

1633
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 1: for the Bills, and how many starts do you think

1634
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: he'll get? On Twitter, we've had pretty good response. Let's

1635
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: double check and see where we're at with that. When

1636
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: we asked the question, how many starts. We offer you

1637
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: a couple of suggestions. Sixty nine percent most of you

1638
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: think it'll be one to four starters for Derek Anderson.

1639
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:42,560
Speaker 1: Twenty one percent of you think it'll be five or

1640
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 1: eight starts, ten percent you think it'll be a nine

1641
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: or ten. We got eleven hundred votes in already on Twitter,

1642
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 1: and you got some response on the tweets from Mallory

1643
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: Livings today. Not always most of these don't make me chuckle.

1644
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: This one actually did. You can't teach a kid to

1645
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: drive by having him push match box cars back and

1646
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: forth across the basement floor. When Josh is healthy, he

1647
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 1: needs to start, and we need to tolerate him bouncing

1648
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 1: off the curb and running over the mailbox for however

1649
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: long it takes for him to pass a road test

1650
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: like it. And I agree with Mallory Livingston. I think

1651
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: that's absolutely correct. She got me to chuckle Joe bad

1652
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 1: tweets and play the year out with Anderson. Alan will

1653
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: gain more by observing and working in practice to refine

1654
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 1: his game on and off the field. One other reason

1655
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: is this offense will be markedly different next year in

1656
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: personnel onlining. Receiver will have a major overhaul, Allen will

1657
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: get fully healthy too. I don't know how you get

1658
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 1: better by observing in practice work. I don't think you

1659
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 1: get I don't think you get the same experience. You

1660
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 1: don't get the dame same experience. And I don't think

1661
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: you get as valuable experiences doing it in practice as

1662
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: you would on the field. Yeah, and that's kind of

1663
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: where we're That's where we're teetering back and forth between

1664
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 1: those two aspects. From Farid Hussain, the season is about

1665
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: developing Josh and seeing what he can do, and ideally

1666
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: developing some more or chemistry with whichever wide receivers are

1667
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 1: going to be here next year. At least, say, that's

1668
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: why I want to see Derek Anderson. That's why I'd

1669
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 1: want to see Derek Anderson start until Josh is ready

1670
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: to roll. I guess that would mean only until Josh

1671
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 1: is ready in the roll. Take a phone call on this,

1672
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 1: Kevin on the line from Buffalo, Hello, Kevin, welcome, Hey,

1673
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Okay? This is the most delusional

1674
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard in my life, the most what delusional? Delusional?

1675
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: What is it? Go ahead? I think sixty passes in

1676
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: the last two years, five of them were picks. You

1677
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: haven't practice. I mean, what do you have ten days

1678
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: of practice? They think this guy's gonna go in and

1679
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: play in an NFL game and produce, They're crazy. This

1680
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,640
Speaker 1: guy won't last a half. I don't think. What do

1681
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 1: you think will happen? No, I think they're gonna go

1682
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 1: to Peterman. I think you're gonna have Peterman playing Monday

1683
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: night football. It's the past year. I mean, I think

1684
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: this is insane to think this guy is gonna be

1685
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: NFL ready this weekend. So what's the better answer. Do

1686
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 1: you have a better answer, Kevin? I think they should

1687
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: just stick with Peterman. I mean, I'd rather just Peterman

1688
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: roll fifteen twenty passes a game, protect the ball, and

1689
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: then when Alan's ready to come back, he gets on

1690
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, all they're doing now is creating controversy.

1691
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: Both person comes in there in the next two or

1692
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:11,800
Speaker 1: three games and they go one in three but it

1693
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: looks okay. Then you're you're sitting there at the fans going,

1694
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: sholl we put Alan back in or not? Right now?

1695
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 1: They just need to commit to one guy, their number

1696
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 1: one draft pick. Put Peterman in there until he's ready

1697
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: to come back. This is crazy. This guy wasn't brought

1698
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: into play. He was brought in to teach these guys

1699
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: how to play the ball. That's a problem with Nathan.

1700
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: It's a big problem. There's a lot of people, Kevin,

1701
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: who will tell you you're crazy from wanting to play

1702
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: Peterman ridiculous times. They look, they started the ball the

1703
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: minute to go in the game, and they were throwing

1704
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: three pass lays. They wouldn't have punted. Actually they would

1705
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: have had some punt if he had That pass was

1706
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: in completely got picked for a pick six. But at

1707
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 1: the same time, they need to protect the ball, and

1708
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: they have an all Pro running back and they're not

1709
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 1: using him. The need to protect the ball, I believe,

1710
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 1: is why they are almost worse to go with Derek

1711
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,600
Speaker 1: Anderson this week. Well, I guess we're gonna find that,

1712
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: because I'll be shocked if this guy lasts a half.

1713
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: And I'll be shocked if we're not talking about Nathan

1714
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: Peterman starting Monday Night football against the path Okay, we'll see,

1715
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: all right, Thank you, Kevin. I would be shocked if

1716
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: we're I would be shocked if we're talking about Nathan

1717
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: Peterman starting against the Patriots on Monday Night football. I

1718
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 1: would be I would be shocked, I tell you, shocked, stunned.

1719
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 1: We'll see you're from Jose and Buffalohio. Jose, you're on

1720
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: the air. Oh my god, that guy just really just

1721
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: say that. Um, yes he did. I really want to

1722
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 1: respond to him, but I really I'm not gonna go

1723
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,759
Speaker 1: there with that because it's a Drew Brees seven hundred

1724
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: and something pass attempt to get to how many interceptions

1725
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 1: Peterman got. So that's that's all I want to say

1726
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:54,639
Speaker 1: on that one. Anyways, Um, listen, it's all about Evan

1727
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,600
Speaker 1: flowing this end the season. If Derek Anderson comes in

1728
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: and all we need is a competent quarterback, our defense

1729
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 1: is I said it from the beginning. Top five, Steve,

1730
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: you said top ten. I'm still beating you. Anyways, go ahead,

1731
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean, all we need is a competent quarterback to

1732
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: come in and just be a game manager Alex Smith

1733
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: type deal. The only way I see Derek Gnison not

1734
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 1: playing is if he comes in and he hurts himself.

1735
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: That's the only way I see that. Other than that,

1736
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: I say, you run with Derek Gnison. If we have

1737
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: a chance to make it to the playoffs, then we

1738
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: go there and go that route, because if you think

1739
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 1: about it, our defense is that good right now where

1740
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: it's better, it's top three, I mean it's playoffs caliber defense.

1741
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: I mean it gives us a chance. I'm sure that

1742
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: the locker room would want at also, So you know,

1743
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna thank you, Josey, that's good points. I

1744
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you in thurming this steeping around out

1745
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: of time. There were reports earlier this week about Sean

1746
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 1: McDermott had to make a certain quarterback move to avoid

1747
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: losing the locker room? Does that happen? Is that real?

1748
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: Can you lose a locker room? Have you seen it happen?

1749
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: If you been a part of a team where I

1750
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: got to be honest with you, I haven't because you know,

1751
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 1: I've played with Warren moon And who didn't come out

1752
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 1: of the game unless he was hurt, and the same

1753
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: thing with Jim Kelly, he didn't come out of the

1754
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 1: game test unless he was hurt. So I played with

1755
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 1: a couple of well they were Hall of Fame quarterbacks,

1756
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,719
Speaker 1: both of them. Um so I. But in being around

1757
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 1: around it, I think the way the coaching staff always

1758
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 1: almost invariably approaches. This is that you're gonna play a

1759
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,839
Speaker 1: guy who you believe from what you've seen in practice

1760
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 1: and on the on in the meeting rooms. Uh. And

1761
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: this history, whatever you want to call it, everything you

1762
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: can gather about your team, you pick the guy who's

1763
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 1: gonna give you the best chance to win given what

1764
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: the rest of your team can do. Um. Well, let's

1765
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 1: let's face it, that's the that's the only reason Nathan

1766
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 1: Peterman is here. Uh. He earned he earned their trust

1767
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: through trainings camp last year and then lost it when

1768
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 1: when he got the chance to start in LA. Then

1769
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: he earned it again through the offseason and through the preseason.

1770
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 1: And you drafted joh Allen and you knew you didn't

1771
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:03,560
Speaker 1: want Josh Allen to get thrown in opening Day A

1772
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: Game one, And yet there you are again, and Nate

1773
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 1: Peterman couldn't get it done again. And really, for a

1774
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:11,639
Speaker 1: lot of people, I don't know if I have subscribed

1775
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 1: to this completely. A lot of people believe that Nathan

1776
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: Peterman's only still on this team because he's the only

1777
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: guy who knows the offense. He's the only guy left

1778
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,040
Speaker 1: standing that's one hundred percent healthy. Derek Anderson's down there

1779
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 1: because they believe he can play four quarters and not

1780
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,799
Speaker 1: turn it over. They believe he can protect the football

1781
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,799
Speaker 1: and run enough of this offense to keep the defense

1782
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 1: from having to win it all by themselves. So I

1783
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:40,600
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, this whole thing is based on

1784
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: what has happened up to this point. And I think

1785
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff here is just like every other

1786
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: coaching staff. They're gonna look at the guys they got

1787
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: on the roster and they're gonna put the guy in

1788
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: there who they think gives them a chance to win.

1789
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 1: And believe me, they're not in a vacuum. The guys

1790
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: in the locker room have their own ideas as well.

1791
01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 1: It's very rare that they don't all agree or at

1792
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: least see the semblance that they could win with whoever's

1793
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 1: on their roster. But they'll know which guy they think,

1794
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: So you can lose the locker room if you make

1795
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: the wrong call. I don't know, because there'll be some

1796
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of times where they'll say, you know, I think

1797
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 1: this guy would probably and I think this guy in

1798
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 1: this case would give us a question a better chance

1799
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: to win. But I see where they think this guy is,

1800
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 1: so they'll give them the benefit of the doubt in

1801
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 1: that respect because they got to jump on board with it.

1802
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: There's no escape, but there's no question. Each guy in

1803
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:27,679
Speaker 1: that locker room has a guy they'd like to play,

1804
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, a guy they'd like to see play. We're

1805
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna take a break. We're back with more and Steve Tasker,

1806
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,960

1821
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: am a little bit eager to see the Rams, and

1822
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 1: we'll get a chance to sit down with their head

1823
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: coach and some of their players, golf and those guys

1824
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon before the game. I hope you get

1825
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 1: a change to talk to Robert Woods. Really happy for

1826
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 1: Robert Woods, one of the great guys who was here

1827
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: the last several years. I wish he still was here. Yeah,

1828
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 1: he'd played number one here. He played well, Yeah, he

1829
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: played well here and had some moments here, no question. Yeah. Hey,

1830
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,639
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Bills, the starting quarterback Derek Anderson,

1831
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 1: and how many starts you think he might get. Give

1832
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: us a call eight oh three fifty toll free one

1833
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty Bill on the

1834
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 1: line from Hamilton, Go ahead, Bill, Welcome to the show.

1835
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Oh Hi, I'm be there as well. I think this

1836
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: is a mistake, a big mistake. Starting Anderson, a guy

1837
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:13,919
Speaker 1: that basically, to all intents and purposes, was semi retired,

1838
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:18,760
Speaker 1: no training camp. Basically, I think he came in here

1839
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:21,680
Speaker 1: just to be the third guy holding the clipboard and

1840
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: and providing some coaching I believe all of that. I

1841
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: think this move is strictly a coaching, a coach and

1842
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: a general manager who are literally in sort of a

1843
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 1: panic mode here. And who would you start, Bill, I'm

1844
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: not sorry, who would you start? Peter? Really? Okay? Okay,

1845
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 1: so I'll let me explain. Okay, So okay, some of

1846
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 1: the points that you guys made earlier with respect, you

1847
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: were talking about how Peterman had this starting through these interceptions,

1848
01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 1: Peter him into this, all these things. You could make

1849
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: arguments as to why these things happened, Where these bad

1850
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: decisions by the coach? Did the plays that were called?

1851
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,880
Speaker 1: Were they the right plays? Yeah? Peterman made mistakes, But guys,

1852
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 1: where don't we just talking about some of the mistakes

1853
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen made. It seems to me that because

1854
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: he's the first round pick, we're a little more forgiving

1855
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:24,639
Speaker 1: of his errors. And I'm hoping he works out. Believe

1856
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 1: you me, I mean, I really do. But let's remember this,

1857
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:33,639
Speaker 1: it's Peterman. This is only his second year. It's it's

1858
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 1: it was a rookie last year. This is just second year.

1859
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 1: And I think I'm not really buying losing the room thing.

1860
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I think that if you've got the right kind of coach,

1861
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 1: and I'm sure this Peterman is well liked in that

1862
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: dressing room. Look, we have to decide this year. Are

1863
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 1: we a playoff team? I don't think so. And that's

1864
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 1: not to put the bills down, because man, I live

1865
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: and die for the bills on Sunday's dress Go ahead,

1866
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: I want, I want. I'm concerned if Edison goes out

1867
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:07,599
Speaker 1: and stinks up the joint, what are we going to do? Now? Well,

1868
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,840
Speaker 1: wait a minute, if if Anderson goes out and stinks

1869
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 1: other the journal put the guy that you want to

1870
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 1: play in. Yeah, but I I just think this this okay,

1871
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 1: So let's look at it another way. Let's just look

1872
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 1: at Anderson's record. The guy. You guys even used the

1873
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 1: words the other day, and maybe you're used it earlier.

1874
01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 1: I didn't hear. This guy is basically a journeyman backup

1875
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:37,679
Speaker 1: quarter that yeah, started a game since two thousand and fourteen, sixteen,

1876
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, sixteen sixteen. Okay, I apologize, but I know

1877
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: he's come in and had to fill in a couple

1878
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 1: of times. But I'll double check that. But go ahead.

1879
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: Touchdowns in deception ratio, It isn't that great and I

1880
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: don't care about the rocket arm. I think that's being

1881
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:58,479
Speaker 1: proven that that really doesn't mean a whole lot in

1882
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 1: the NFL if you can hit your receiver. So I've

1883
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 1: just got I just think this is a panicked move.

1884
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 1: I would have liked the coach to come out with

1885
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 1: some certainty and say, look, we're starting Nathan, give him,

1886
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 1: give him another opportunity here. It's it's not it it's

1887
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: it's a it's an away game, which I don't know, Steve.

1888
01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:21,920
Speaker 1: You may know this is it harder to play away

1889
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 1: than at home, you know, but maybe it takes a

1890
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 1: bit more pressure off him. But honestly, guys, I really

1891
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 1: think this is a mistake. Okay, I hear you. All right, okay, Bill?

1892
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 1: Let yeah. First of all, let me get that straight.

1893
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 1: He played in three games last year, probably in mop

1894
01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:39,719
Speaker 1: up time. He didn't have very many attempts. Uh, played

1895
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 1: in five games in two thouy sixteen and three games

1896
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 1: in fifteen, six games in fourteen. So it goes like

1897
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,200
Speaker 1: that all the way back until two thy ten, when

1898
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 1: he played in twelve games for the Arizona Cardinals. So um,

1899
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,120
Speaker 1: he's uh, you know, he was on he was on

1900
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:58,599
Speaker 1: the Panthers all the way up until January of this year,

1901
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:03,679
Speaker 1: and so he's fresh out of the league, no question,

1902
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: but he's he and I know this too. Carolina was

1903
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 1: trying to get him to come to training camp with them.

1904
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 1: They were a handful of other teams that were interested

1905
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 1: in having Derek Anderson come in and be exactly what

1906
01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: the Bills are ostensibly wanting him to be here as

1907
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 1: a mentor, and he was weighing those options all the

1908
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 1: way up until the Bills finally got him to say

1909
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:24,479
Speaker 1: yes the last two weeks. So this is a guy

1910
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 1: that you can say, would you want. I don't know

1911
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 1: how much training camp would have helped a guy like

1912
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson, except for perhaps to learn the offense. That's

1913
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,599
Speaker 1: the one thing he'd probably missed. I think you're thinking

1914
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: too much about this Bill. Here's the thing from my perspective.

1915
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:41,680
Speaker 1: They need a quarterback who's not going to throw it

1916
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,519
Speaker 1: to the other team, all right, right. I mean those

1917
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 1: interceptions are a problem, the interceptions last year for Peterman

1918
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: and the two interceptions this past Sunday. They need a

1919
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: steady hand to just calmp things down. Run a passable

1920
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:56,559
Speaker 1: and I don't mean no pun intended, but a decent

1921
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 1: NFL offense, which they have not had through the first

1922
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 1: six games this year. Just kind of a bare bones

1923
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 1: decent NFL offense. Because their defense is playing so good,

1924
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 1: they're probably thinking we could win if we score seventeen points,

1925
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 1: twenty points. We can win maybe more than our share.

1926
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 1: If we score seventeen points twenty points, that's all they need. Look,

1927
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 1: we don't know how Derek Anderson's gonna play. He may

1928
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: not be ready, but we're gonna find out. And I

1929
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a risk that they are more

1930
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:24,080
Speaker 1: than willing to take because they know that Nathan Peterman

1931
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 1: has a propensity to throw the ball to the other team.

1932
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty simple, I think. Yeah, And this is

1933
01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 1: a second call we've gotten for somebody clamoring for Nate

1934
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 1: Peterman to get back in, and I'm in some respects

1935
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:39,840
Speaker 1: they're correcting their assessment that Nathan Peterman is almost as

1936
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 1: young as Josh Allen. He had some starts last year

1937
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 1: that didn't go well. He has a year under his

1938
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 1: belt in the NFL. He's and he hasn't started very

1939
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:52,519
Speaker 1: many games, three to be exact, and he's as young

1940
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:55,680
Speaker 1: as Josh Allen is, So he's the expectations you have

1941
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:59,200
Speaker 1: on him about being better than he is maybe are unwarranted.

1942
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys, he hasn't started very many games.

1943
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:05,000
Speaker 1: He's virtually a rookie and starting quarterback anyway, So maybe

1944
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 1: the expectations are somehow different for him than they are

1945
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. Maybe they shouldn't be. But Josh Allen,

1946
01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:16,639
Speaker 1: you know, is not throwing a lot of interceptions. He's

1947
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: not you know, I don't know how where you go.

1948
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:21,840
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that this Buffalo Bills team is

1949
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback who will not turn it over.

1950
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:28,240
Speaker 1: And given the history that Derek Anderson showed in practice

1951
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:32,840
Speaker 1: and in games for Carolina while Josh Mhile Sean McDermott

1952
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 1: was there, while Brandon Bean was there, has gone a

1953
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,840
Speaker 1: long way towards proving to them he can give them

1954
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,680

Speaker 1: get so caught up in the hype and the stuff

2105
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:05,800
Speaker 1: like that. They're getting the atmosphere of you know when

2106
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:07,600
Speaker 1: they you know, when he comes out of tunnel, they

2107
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 1: started playing turned down for what and they stay turned

2108
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 1: down for Watten and stuff like that. He caught in

2109
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 1: an atmosphere and don't focus on what they did to

2110
01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: get to them. Get them, Yeah, yeah, get them. Well,

2111
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:23,560
Speaker 1: people don't focus. Some people just get caught up in

2112
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,680
Speaker 1: the hype and don't focus. Just focus on what got

2113
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 1: them there to that point for that game, and you know,

2114
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 1: I just didn't pay attention to anything. Uh, just focus

2115
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 1: in and when I had to focus on, and the

2116
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 1: whole offensive line did. But you know, ultimately, you know,

2117
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: we're not into more victories. We lost the game. We

2118
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 1: had a chance to see the game and end it

2119
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:48,800
Speaker 1: and we didn't do that. So you know, I'd rather

2120
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:53,280
Speaker 1: have the win than that praise or we have the

2121
01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 1: praise for you know, playing playing well. It's just we

2122
01:42:57,680 --> 01:43:02,320
Speaker 1: have to be more consistent of you know, protecting the qbs,

2123
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 1: opening the holes or for the running backs. And it

2124
01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:07,880
Speaker 1: starts with me. But uh, you know, we rather have

2125
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 1: the win and being three and three right now, but

2126
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 1: we're two and four and moving on to the Coats,

2127
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 1: tell me talk a little bit about what your offensive

2128
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:17,679
Speaker 1: line feels like in their room when things have changed

2129
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball to the defense

2130
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 1: is playing much better now now you know you're kind

2131
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: of in those one score games, and you know that

2132
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 1: Shady's gonna get his fair share of touches running the football.

2133
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: That's got to give you guys a lot of It's

2134
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: more fun, I think for all offensive line of the

2135
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 1: run block, right yeah, yeah, yeah, and we we we

2136
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,679
Speaker 1: wanted both to run the run ball and pass the ball,

2137
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 1: and it's more fun than you know, our defense is

2138
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,000
Speaker 1: playing well. Now it's time for us, you know, we

2139
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: getting the run game going now to get the pass

2140
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: the game going. Then our guys you know back there

2141
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:51,560
Speaker 1: or you know, whether you know whether it's Josh is

2142
01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 1: back there or you know it's Derek or Nate give

2143
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: them time to you know, make plays for him, and

2144
01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 1: you get these guys time they're gonna make a play.

2145
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 1: So it's exciting, you know, to you know know that

2146
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:03,600
Speaker 1: you know Shady's gonna get the ball in hand. You

2147
01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 1: know he might go one way and it's gonna end

2148
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:08,680
Speaker 1: up any going the other way. But you know he's

2149
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:11,640
Speaker 1: a dynamical player that can make a make something out

2150
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:14,600
Speaker 1: of nothing and make anybody look good. So you know,

2151
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:16,680
Speaker 1: to have Shady back that not the only Shady, have

2152
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:20,040
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory and uh Murphy, Murphy back that you know

2153
01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:24,640
Speaker 1: three you know, great backs that can do anything anytime.

2154
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 1: And you know when I say about Chrissy, everybody thinks

2155
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:30,840
Speaker 1: he's powered, but he is fast as you know one.

2156
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:34,240
Speaker 1: You know, you see him like the one uh catch

2157
01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 1: he had in Minnesota, that Josh Student, and you see

2158
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:40,560
Speaker 1: him going down the sideline quicker than anybody. So to

2159
01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 1: have those guys back there decided and knowing that we're

2160
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball and they're gonna put it on

2161
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: our backs, it's you know, it's a testament how coach

2162
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,679
Speaker 1: McDermot feels about the officers line. With Jordan Millsville starting

2163
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:51,639
Speaker 1: right tackle, it seems like they put it on your back.

2164
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 1: The last couple of weeks offensive line, and you know,

2165
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:56,800
Speaker 1: we were looking at numbers and shady last two games,

2166
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,600
Speaker 1: averaging twenty carries and about eighty yards. It seems like

2167
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: there's been a decision like, let's get back to who

2168
01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:03,560
Speaker 1: we've been. Let's get back to who we are. We

2169
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 1: run the ball and we do it pretty well. Yeah,

2170
01:45:05,360 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's. Uh. You know, one of our identities,

2171
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 1: uh is running the ball, and that's how we're gonna

2172
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: do it. You know, going forward. You know, we're gonna

2173
01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:14,920
Speaker 1: throw the ball, and when we have to throw the ball,

2174
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna throw the ball. But when we run it,

2175
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a statement. And when we throw, we're

2176
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna make a stavid So uh, when they call that, uh,

2177
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:24,720
Speaker 1: whatever run play they call is up to us, you know,

2178
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 1: put it on our backs and execute it. And that's

2179
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:29,519
Speaker 1: the confidence and you know, the faith that the coach

2180
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 1: coaches have put in off his line to carry this team,

2181
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 1: because it starts with us up front. If we don't

2182
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 1: play well, it shows. But if we're playing well, everything's

2183
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 1: gonna flow. New quarterback, you know, what's the vibe? Uh,

2184
01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:47,880
Speaker 1: same vibe. You know. Uh, everybody says he's an older guy,

2185
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 1: which he is an older guy, but he you know,

2186
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 1: he has a spirit of a young guy. He has

2187
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:54,320
Speaker 1: that juice a bottom. You know, he's a savvy vet

2188
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: and you feel, you know, feel his presence is not

2189
01:45:57,439 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 1: you know even not even though Josh is out right now,

2190
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:03,679
Speaker 1: when he came in and it's like nothing never changed.

2191
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:05,680
Speaker 1: You know, he has that upbeat the bottom. He you know,

2192
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:08,639
Speaker 1: he has that smile, that savvy and you know he's

2193
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:11,519
Speaker 1: a fourteen year you're that you know, coming to into

2194
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 1: a new environment, new offense. You know, he hears certain

2195
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:17,880
Speaker 1: things that might be similar to the offense he had before.

2196
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:20,439
Speaker 1: Is just getting everything down pack and I believe he's

2197
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 1: been doing a great job so far commanding the huddle

2198
01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:25,160
Speaker 1: in the offense. How is he in the huddle, Liz?

2199
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 1: He seemed like he he knows the verbiage and language

2200
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:31,760
Speaker 1: and everything. Yeah, you know, uh he does, you know. Uh,

2201
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: you know sometimes he might say a different thing because

2202
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:37,800
Speaker 1: it sounds like something he's used to. But you know,

2203
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 1: you know, the first couple of you know, first couple

2204
01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:43,439
Speaker 1: of days, like on off days Monday and Tuesday, it

2205
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:47,679
Speaker 1: might be a little confuser sometimes, but the last couple

2206
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 1: of days of practice he's been doing well. Uh, slinging

2207
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well, you know he Uh, we were

2208
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: doing walk through and he slung the ball right past

2209
01:46:56,560 --> 01:47:00,880
Speaker 1: my hand. I was like, whoa wow. Yeah, you're thinking

2210
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:02,679
Speaker 1: about you and this is your fourth year in Buffalo.

2211
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:06,000
Speaker 1: You have been kind of a mainstay here. I mean

2212
01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:07,720
Speaker 1: I was looking at you. You've played here forty eight

2213
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:10,320
Speaker 1: games and started forty three of them. You have become

2214
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,400
Speaker 1: the guy right at right tackle. That's your spot now

2215
01:47:12,439 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 1: and it's been that way for going on the fourth

2216
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:17,599
Speaker 1: year now. Yeah, it's been a great four years in Buffalo,

2217
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:21,599
Speaker 1: being here, being in the cold weather, being in the snow,

2218
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:25,880
Speaker 1: freezing my butt off. But being a guy from the South, Man,

2219
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:30,759
Speaker 1: it's unlike no other place being here, man, the fans,

2220
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:34,599
Speaker 1: the people, it's just it's something about the city of Buffalo.

2221
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's something in the air or

2222
01:47:36,320 --> 01:47:39,599
Speaker 1: something that people are just blue ship, blue collar kind

2223
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 1: of type of people that will lend a hand anywhere going.

2224
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, being here the last few years been you

2225
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 1: know great, some great years. Usually when you play a

2226
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 1: team two years in a row, you can go back

2227
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 1: and look at the game you played against these guys

2228
01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:55,960
Speaker 1: last year and get some you know something, Well they

2229
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 1: got a different quarter of that, Yeah, Jacobe Brissette last

2230
01:47:58,360 --> 01:47:59,720
Speaker 1: year and it was a foot of snow on the

2231
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:03,559
Speaker 1: ground last year. Not much you can carry over from

2232
01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:07,320
Speaker 1: from then. It's some things you can carry over. But uh,

2233
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:11,240
Speaker 1: you know last year, Uh, that might have been the

2234
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:13,240
Speaker 1: most fun I had in the game, you know, playing

2235
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 1: in the snow. Uh that you know when we came

2236
01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 1: outside of a pregame that uh yeah, I couldn't see

2237
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:23,280
Speaker 1: a thing past three feet. I was out there, you know,

2238
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 1: before pregame, Before we went out, it didn't have a

2239
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:28,680
Speaker 1: drop of snow. It was clear as day. You know,

2240
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:30,680
Speaker 1: it had some clouds, but it wasn't snowing. And then

2241
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes later, you couldn't see a thing. And

2242
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, y'all, weren't gonna warn us about that,

2243
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,800
Speaker 1: but you know, yeah, that is a but the thing

2244
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 1: about that is I thought about it is it's Coach McDermott.

2245
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:47,680
Speaker 1: He always talks about, you know, sudden change, and that

2246
01:48:47,920 --> 01:48:50,000
Speaker 1: was a sudden change. You know, you know, you weren't

2247
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:52,599
Speaker 1: expecting that, you know, in the forecasting might have said

2248
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 1: it might light snow, but you weren't expecting that. And

2249
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, we came out, came out either you you're

2250
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 1: gonna fold or you're gonna you know, stick your feeding

2251
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:03,800
Speaker 1: the snow in grind and that's what we did. And

2252
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:06,519
Speaker 1: it was one of the greatest games to be a

2253
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 1: part of it. I was glad to be a part

2254
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 1: of it. And even though we were in the foot

2255
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 1: of snow legs burning, it was a great being an atmosphere,

2256
01:49:13,400 --> 01:49:15,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it's true. And Murph has been around

2257
01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 1: here longer than me. I've been here thirty years. That's

2258
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:19,720
Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime. Yeah. I mean, you can

2259
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:21,559
Speaker 1: say what you want about Buffalo and the bad weather.

2260
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:25,160
Speaker 1: It never happens like that for football, and it's it

2261
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: really was the only time I've ever seen it like

2262
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,120
Speaker 1: that in this city that has the reputation for the

2263
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:31,800
Speaker 1: worst weather ever. It was and you know, you think

2264
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:34,120
Speaker 1: and the people in Msgar watched this. Now we have highlights.

2265
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:37,720
Speaker 1: It was an absolutely beautiful game. But white snow. You

2266
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 1: guys were in red on red and the Colts were

2267
01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:42,120
Speaker 1: in white on white. It was just it was it

2268
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: was like a work of art. Yeah, and it was

2269
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, it was great the way it ended as well. Yeah,

2270
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:49,439
Speaker 1: it was the ended like we did, you know, running

2271
01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 1: the ball and Shady I don't know how he does

2272
01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:54,920
Speaker 1: it with these snow games being in you know, snow

2273
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 1: everywhere foot of snow and he's running like he's running

2274
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:01,040
Speaker 1: on regular grass and everybody's trying to struggle to you know,

2275
01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:03,760
Speaker 1: get a step in the end of the way we did,

2276
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:06,639
Speaker 1: and him scoring a touchdown to you know, seal the game.

2277
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:10,000
Speaker 1: It's a feeling that's unmatched and it will forever be

2278
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:12,720
Speaker 1: in my head and in a memory that I will

2279
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:15,920
Speaker 1: care care with me. Yeah, it's an amazing gay. Hey,

2280
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,880
Speaker 1: Jordan's Steve Stephen. They were talking about this earlier the weekend. Look,

2281
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 1: nobody wanted to Josh Hallen to come out of the lineup,

2282
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 1: nobody wishing a lot of him. But we wondered if

2283
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback change kind of reinvigorates this offense a little bit,

2284
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 1: just like get your attention, like, hey, this is different. Now,

2285
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:32,200
Speaker 1: that's see what we can do here. You find that

2286
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 1: sense at all in the in the locker room a

2287
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 1: little bit. It's a little different. But just like I

2288
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:40,600
Speaker 1: said about the snow and stuff like that we're not

2289
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:44,200
Speaker 1: knowing about it. It's sudden change. Nobody knew Josh was

2290
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:48,640
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt, or nobody wanted him to get hurt, right,

2291
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 1: didn't know. And that's that's the thing about this league.

2292
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:53,960
Speaker 1: You never know what's gonna happen, but you always gonna

2293
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 1: be prepared for it. And you know, that's how the guys,

2294
01:50:57,280 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 1: guys around in the locker room are. You know, you

2295
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:02,080
Speaker 1: never know what's gonna happen, but you always get prepared

2296
01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:04,880
Speaker 1: for it. And it's always a next man up mentality,

2297
01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:08,000
Speaker 1: you know. You know, we hurt for Josh that he

2298
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:11,160
Speaker 1: got you know, hurt in the last game, but you

2299
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 1: know it's the next man up mentality, and then we

2300
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: got to step up and play well for da And

2301
01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 1: he's been doing a great job, you know, first being

2302
01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:21,759
Speaker 1: you know, our quarterbacks are one of the first ones

2303
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:24,040
Speaker 1: here and one of the last ones leaving. I know

2304
01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 1: he's been here every day getting all the preparation he

2305
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:29,360
Speaker 1: can in and getting the playbook down packing, and he's

2306
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:31,639
Speaker 1: been doing a great job. Thank you this Jordan, good

2307

Speaker 1: luck here, continue success. We appreciate it. No problem, man,

2312
01:51:52,280 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 1: One Bill's Life from One Bill's Drive. I Fuffalo Bill's Radio.

2313
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: Go back to One Mill's Life. John Murphy, Steve Tasker

2314
01:52:09,280 --> 01:52:11,320
Speaker 1: here until three. Happy to have you with us. Happy

2315
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 1: to have Jordan Mills on the show. He seemed to

2316
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 1: have fun. I know he Yeah, we got to twist

2317
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:17,000
Speaker 1: some arms and we get great work from the media

2318
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: relationship department to help us out getting players in here.

2319
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:22,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes it requires some arm twisting. Jordan Mills might have

2320
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:23,680
Speaker 1: been part of that, but he was good when he

2321
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:26,040
Speaker 1: got on the air. He's a talker, by the way,

2322
01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:29,000
Speaker 1: he's a player. Can I just say this. You mentioned

2323
01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:30,960
Speaker 1: it while he's on here, But you're right, four years

2324
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:33,599
Speaker 1: he's been the starting right tackle. He's he's started forty

2325
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:38,000
Speaker 1: three games. He's probably, let me think, probably you know

2326
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 1: the leader of that group upfront, right, I mean, who

2327
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:42,720
Speaker 1: are you looking at? Dan Dawkins is going on the

2328
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 1: left side. Um, new guys in the middle. Obviously, I'll

2329
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:49,560
Speaker 1: be interested to see if he signs a second contract.

2330
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:52,680
Speaker 1: You know, they kind of need him. And he's been

2331
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:55,320
Speaker 1: a decent player because thinking about it, because he's from

2332
01:52:55,360 --> 01:53:00,160
Speaker 1: the South, as he said, and you know he he's

2333
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:02,640
Speaker 1: in line for it. I mean, the guy's solid. I mean,

2334
01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 1: he's played well for this team well this year, and

2335
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in line for an extension or a

2336
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: new contract or something in the in the near future.

2337
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:12,559
Speaker 1: I wonder how they're going to handle that. Yeah, he's

2338
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:14,680
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody there have to I'm gonna have to

2339
01:53:14,760 --> 01:53:19,479
Speaker 1: all check his ut contract status. But he's I'm talking

2340
01:53:19,479 --> 01:53:21,960
Speaker 1: about Pro Bowl caliber player. But he's been a decent listener.

2341
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 1: He played pretty well against JJ Watt last week and that's, uh,

2342
01:53:26,320 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Hey, on Twitter, we're talking about quarterbacks

2343
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 1: because that's what we do. Derrek Anderson is starting this week.

2344
01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:35,400
Speaker 1: We want to know from you, how many games do

2345
01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:38,080
Speaker 1: you expect Eric Anderson to start this season for the Bills.

2346
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:40,400
Speaker 1: We got a Twitter poll. We've got more than thirteen

2347
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:43,560
Speaker 1: hundred votes in on that. Seventy percent of the respondents

2348
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,000
Speaker 1: say you expect it'll start one or four one to four.

2349
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:48,600
Speaker 1: Twenty one percent of you think he'll start five or

2350
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:51,280
Speaker 1: eight games, five to eight games, and nine percent of

2351
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 1: you say he'll start nine or ten. What do you think?

2352
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:55,479
Speaker 1: Eight h three oh five fifty toll free one eight

2353
01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. Let's talk about a

2354
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 1: Paul in Grease New York is on the air. How

2355
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:04,120
Speaker 1: about Paul? Go ahead, I'm why are you doing? Okay,

2356
01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 1: that's it's Paul and not point breeze. Okay, point breeze.

2357
01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:10,439
Speaker 1: Got it? Okay, Yeah, I want to make a comment

2358
01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:13,880
Speaker 1: the last two guys I call about Anderson, Hey, what

2359
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:15,679
Speaker 1: did they think? This guy just came off the street.

2360
01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:19,240
Speaker 1: He's a pro? You know. Yeah, I'm pretty you know,

2361
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the coach is called him on the

2362
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:22,679
Speaker 1: side and say, hey, look at you know, we're gonna

2363
01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 1: put you in. What can you do? You know? And

2364
01:54:25,479 --> 01:54:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm kind of glad to put him in. Hey how

2365
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:31,120
Speaker 1: bad can he be? We've seen we don't get a

2366
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:34,200
Speaker 1: chance to find out. Yeah, that's right, you know, I mean,

2367
01:54:34,280 --> 01:54:36,600
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm saying. You know, I'm glad they

2368
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:39,080
Speaker 1: made that move. And I mean I Bill Bills fans

2369
01:54:39,080 --> 01:54:42,360
Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty. Okay, he's a ticket. Hold him forward

2370
01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:45,000
Speaker 1: thirty years excellent. Thank you. You know, yeah, I hope

2371
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:46,640
Speaker 1: you're right. Hope I don't have to see how bad

2372
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:47,960
Speaker 1: it can be. I hope we can see how good

2373
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:50,240
Speaker 1: he can be. And I hope and minimally that he

2374
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:53,840
Speaker 1: could be pretty good and help this great defense win

2375
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:56,040
Speaker 1: some games. He's by being pretty good. The thought is

2376
01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:58,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have to be, you know, lights out

2377
01:54:59,200 --> 01:55:02,000
Speaker 1: to make a different Certainly that's the case last week.

2378
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 1: If they would have had a guy that uh, well,

2379
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:06,760
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen would have finished the game, Um, of

2380
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,000
Speaker 1: course it would have depended on Josh Allen being able

2381
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 1: to make the throw the Nathan Peterman made for the touchdown. Uh,

2382
01:55:12,680 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 1: make that read, make that throw. Uh. He would have

2383
01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:18,320
Speaker 1: had to finish the game to see if that could

2384
01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:21,400
Speaker 1: have happened. But that's a game that was very winnable

2385
01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:25,760
Speaker 1: with a quarterback just playing a hair better than Josh

2386
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:28,320
Speaker 1: Allen Nathan Peterman were able to do. Last week. Um,

2387
01:55:28,560 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 1: this defense, you gotta think if you're the Bills, that

2388
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 1: they're going to keep it within one score. And that's

2389
01:55:34,160 --> 01:55:37,880
Speaker 1: always offensively, that's always just one play away from victory.

2390
01:55:38,040 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: And if your quarterback can give you a chance to

2391
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:42,200
Speaker 1: stay on the field. That one play is always the

2392
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:45,320
Speaker 1: next play. So it's, uh, it's fun to think about that,

2393
01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm you know, it's it's easy to envision,

2394
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, Derek Anderson coming in playing extremely well, and

2395
01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 1: you know it's you gotta pump the brakes. I mean,

2396
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't think this guy's gonna come in and throw

2397
01:55:56,680 --> 01:55:59,320
Speaker 1: for three hundred yards. No, I don't think so, you know,

2398
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 1: maybe two hundred, you know, and even that, think how

2399
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:04,520
Speaker 1: much better it will look if he can do that

2400
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 1: way twice. It's more than twice as many yards as

2401
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:10,520
Speaker 1: throwing so and anything he can give you it and it,

2402
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 1: let's face it, anything that Derek Anderson can give you

2403
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:15,760
Speaker 1: in the passing game that is better than what you've

2404
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 1: gotten is going to have an exponential effect on everything else,

2405
01:56:19,040 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 1: the running game and the defense. You're gonna stay on

2406
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 1: the field longer offensively if you can convert a couple

2407
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:26,840
Speaker 1: of third downs or the reason you convert a couple

2408
01:56:26,840 --> 01:56:29,400
Speaker 1: of third downs because he completed a ball on first

2409
01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:31,320
Speaker 1: down and set you up in a third and short.

2410
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:34,160
Speaker 1: It helps you stay on the field that way. It

2411
01:56:34,200 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 1: gives your defense more risks, It gives Andrew luck and

2412
01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:41,920
Speaker 1: company less time and less plays to figure out what

2413
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 1: the Bills defense is going to do against him. It

2414
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:47,520
Speaker 1: gives you more opportunities to score. It makes your running

2415
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:50,360
Speaker 1: game better because now the defense knows you can complete

2416
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:53,880
Speaker 1: some balls against him. Anything this guy can give you

2417
01:56:54,120 --> 01:56:58,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a plus compared to what the

2418
01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 1: Bills have been getting from Josh. Allen Nathan Peterman Ye

2419
01:57:00,840 --> 01:57:03,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet on this question how many starts will Derek

2420
01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:06,400
Speaker 1: Anderson get this season? Kevin Higgins tweets in I think

2421
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:09,320
Speaker 1: it's smart to shut Josh down for the season. They

2422
01:57:09,360 --> 01:57:11,760
Speaker 1: have a chance to go back to the original plan somewhat. Plus,

2423
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:14,440
Speaker 1: he gained some experience and game winning drive with a

2424
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:17,360
Speaker 1: couple of wins under his belt. Okay, I understand why

2425
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:20,320
Speaker 1: people think that. I don't know what the original plan was.

2426
01:57:20,440 --> 01:57:22,160
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know if the original plan was.

2427
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, have the original original was at McCarron, and

2428
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:28,440
Speaker 1: then maybe Josh comes in half a dozen games into

2429
01:57:28,440 --> 01:57:30,080
Speaker 1: the year. I don't know what the original plan was.

2430
01:57:30,120 --> 01:57:31,840
Speaker 1: So when you say gives him a chance to go

2431
01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 1: back to the original plans, say that I don't know

2432
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 1: what the original plan was because you got to go

2433
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:39,560
Speaker 1: back and say, when was the original original plan? You

2434
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:41,680
Speaker 1: know when they got when they drafted him, that was

2435
01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:44,320
Speaker 1: the original plan. Nate Peterman was going to be on

2436
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:46,760
Speaker 1: the roster, and then you know who were you going

2437
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:48,200
Speaker 1: to get? And I know that they'd talked to a

2438
01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:50,480
Speaker 1: number of quarterbacks trying to sign him. So you kept

2439
01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:54,640
Speaker 1: having this plan that, you know, maybe all the way

2440
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 1: up until the time you got a chance to finally

2441
01:57:56,960 --> 01:58:00,680
Speaker 1: get Derek Anderson to say, yes, okay, I'll play. Did

2442
01:58:00,760 --> 01:58:04,680
Speaker 1: you find their plan actually come to fruition because I

2443
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:07,640
Speaker 1: know they were talking to you know, Derek Anderson tolds

2444
01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:10,520
Speaker 1: they were talking to him for a long time before

2445
01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:12,720
Speaker 1: he finally said, okay, I'm ready to come in and play.

2446
01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:17,040
Speaker 1: That was the original plan. Maybe that was the original plan. Certainly,

2447
01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:19,840
Speaker 1: I think the original plan was that Josh Allen would

2448
01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 1: be able to sit for some amount of time and

2449
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 1: watch a veteran guy do it. Now the veteran guy,

2450
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:28,040
Speaker 1: And the way it turned out, the veteran guy was

2451
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 1: gonna be Nathan Peterman, who not much of a veteran. Yeah,

2452
01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:33,880
Speaker 1: it's not really a veteran at all. So I think

2453
01:58:33,920 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 1: the plan has been to try and find the best

2454
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:39,280
Speaker 1: guy they can and put him out there, and you know,

2455
01:58:39,920 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 1: much to their disappointment, they haven't seen it. They have

2456
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:47,200
Speaker 1: seen some pretty bad play from Nate Peterman. From Sipping

2457
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:49,120
Speaker 1: the Kool Lady, we asked the question how many starts

2458
01:58:49,160 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 1: for Derek Anderson. Sipping the Cool Lady response, It's hard

2459
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:55,080
Speaker 1: to determine, and Allen's health is not the only determining factor.

2460
01:58:55,560 --> 01:58:57,200
Speaker 1: He goes on to say, I think it'll depend on

2461
01:58:57,360 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 1: our record and how the team plays. If Anderson wins

2462
01:59:00,200 --> 01:59:02,000
Speaker 1: the next three, it will be really hard to take

2463
01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:04,480
Speaker 1: him out. Yeah, agreed. Yeah, and then it's like, what

2464
01:59:04,600 --> 01:59:06,520
Speaker 1: if he wins two of the next three, Okay, we'll

2465
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 1: probably stays in. Then what if he wins one in

2466
01:59:08,200 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 1: the next three? What if they win all three of

2467
01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:15,960
Speaker 1: them and he stinks but he doesn't turn out. You know,

2468
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:18,480
Speaker 1: that's where we're thinking, Hey, listen, this is a guy,

2469
01:59:18,520 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson, and it's been brought up and kind of

2470
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:23,640
Speaker 1: thrown out there. He was two of seventeen against the

2471
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 1: Bills in this building and at one Bill Drive he

2472
01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:28,560
Speaker 1: was two of seventeen and I said, yeah, he wasn't,

2473
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:33,240
Speaker 1: but he won that game. He's done before, he's stunk

2474
01:59:33,360 --> 01:59:39,360
Speaker 1: and won. I mean, you're pulling it's unbelievable the stuff,

2475
01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:43,280
Speaker 1: and we've got tangible evidence on all across the spectrum. Yeah,

2476
01:59:43,640 --> 01:59:47,960
Speaker 1: he stunk in this building against this team two of

2477
01:59:48,120 --> 01:59:52,160
Speaker 1: seventeen and won that game and won the game. When

2478
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:56,520
Speaker 1: was that two thousand? Uh gosh, somebody had tweeted it

2479
01:59:56,560 --> 01:59:59,200
Speaker 1: out as somebody and everybody's love and bringing that up, like, yeah,

2480
01:59:59,240 --> 02:00:00,720
Speaker 1: you're bringing in a guy two? Is that? You know

2481
02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:04,400
Speaker 1: what he won? I mean got eight Hey, um, let's

2482
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 1: get to NFL True and False two thousand and eight,

2483
02:00:06,920 --> 02:00:08,760
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. I gotta think back to that

2484
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:12,200
Speaker 1: game NFL True and False? Oh for Cleveland. Yeah remember

2485
02:00:12,280 --> 02:00:15,160
Speaker 1: that game? That game was awful? Yeah, yes, that watch

2486
02:00:15,280 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 1: the three games six or three game two of seventeen.

2487
02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:20,440
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland walks out with a win. I don't

2488
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:22,640
Speaker 1: want to think about that game. That game burned a

2489
02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:24,760
Speaker 1: hole in my brain. I can't. I want to think

2490
02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: about that. You were played by play on that sixty

2491
02:00:27,520 --> 02:00:30,200
Speaker 1: three brutal, awful, worst NFL game of all time. I

2492
02:00:30,280 --> 02:00:34,040
Speaker 1: think True and False brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2493
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:38,320
Speaker 1: New York's artists in chiefs. What's going on false today? Yeah,

2494
02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:40,480
Speaker 1: all right with this. Yeah, we know what's going on

2495
02:00:40,640 --> 02:00:43,560
Speaker 1: with passing numbers off the charts and all the scorings

2496
02:00:43,640 --> 02:00:46,920
Speaker 1: up everywhere, But Buffalo tour or false. There's no such

2497
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:49,680
Speaker 1: thing as too much scoring in the NFL. Mark Maski,

2498
02:00:49,720 --> 02:00:51,920
Speaker 1: who's a really good reporter for the Washington Post, wrote

2499
02:00:51,960 --> 02:00:55,160
Speaker 1: about this. UM talked to a number of people about

2500
02:00:55,520 --> 02:00:59,240
Speaker 1: the uptick and scoring. What does it mean? Is it

2501
02:00:59,280 --> 02:01:01,320
Speaker 1: good for the league? Each doctor? Troy Vincent, the NFL

2502
02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:04,320
Speaker 1: executive vice president of football operations, this week of the

2503
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:07,200
Speaker 1: owners meaning Troy Vincent keeps an eye on trends, he said,

2504
02:01:07,840 --> 02:01:11,200
Speaker 1: Troy Vincent's assertion is, quote, I do believe that some

2505
02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:13,880
Speaker 1: of the defenses there are great coordinators, they able to adjust.

2506
02:01:14,280 --> 02:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I think as we start getting into that real playoff run,

2507
02:01:16,680 --> 02:01:19,280
Speaker 1: we'll start seeing the points normalize. I think he's right.

2508
02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:21,920
Speaker 1: There's no such things too much going in the NFL.

2509
02:01:22,160 --> 02:01:23,960
Speaker 1: I think that's true, but I'm not worried about it.

2510
02:01:24,120 --> 02:01:26,200
Speaker 1: Look at Mike set a record this year. Maybe I

2511
02:01:26,200 --> 02:01:28,200
Speaker 1: don't know if we're looking at a big long term

2512
02:01:28,280 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 1: trend here, though, I think the defenses will catch up

2513
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:33,000
Speaker 1: and adjust. It will be okay. So I'm not worried

2514
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:34,520
Speaker 1: about it. No such thing is too much going in

2515
02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:36,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. I believe that's true. I believe that's true too.

2516
02:01:36,840 --> 02:01:38,680
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why this year is so

2517
02:01:38,840 --> 02:01:40,640
Speaker 1: special is not only is there a lot of scoring,

2518
02:01:41,120 --> 02:01:44,320
Speaker 1: but the margin of victory is still very small. Yeah,

2519
02:01:45,040 --> 02:01:47,200
Speaker 1: teams are still only winning by three points or within

2520
02:01:47,320 --> 02:01:49,880
Speaker 1: one score, So even if they are scoring forty two points,

2521
02:01:49,920 --> 02:01:52,200
Speaker 1: they're only winning by two or they're winning or they're

2522
02:01:52,240 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 1: losing by three, that kind of thing. So the margin

2523
02:01:55,400 --> 02:01:58,400
Speaker 1: of victory has remained small. And also even though these

2524
02:01:58,440 --> 02:02:00,800
Speaker 1: teams are throwing this ball all over the yard, the

2525
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:04,600
Speaker 1: games are still are still staying short. They're not going

2526
02:02:04,680 --> 02:02:06,840
Speaker 1: to like three hours and twenty minutes, you know, because

2527
02:02:06,840 --> 02:02:08,720
Speaker 1: of all the throwing and all that stuff. They're still

2528
02:02:08,760 --> 02:02:11,760
Speaker 1: like in like finishing in like three oh seven or

2529
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:14,520
Speaker 1: something like that. So the games are still within that

2530
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:19,720
Speaker 1: three hour time frame, and the margin of victory has

2531
02:02:19,760 --> 02:02:22,680
Speaker 1: been very narrow despite all the scoring. And I'm telling you,

2532
02:02:22,760 --> 02:02:25,320
Speaker 1: if you've seen some of you people listening out there

2533
02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:29,360
Speaker 1: and someone watching on MSG, we've seen all these games

2534
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:31,640
Speaker 1: like these Monday night and Sunday night games that have

2535
02:02:31,760 --> 02:02:35,080
Speaker 1: been big, high scoring shootouts, fun games, and they've been

2536
02:02:35,160 --> 02:02:37,400
Speaker 1: fun to watch. They've been fun to watch, but they've

2537
02:02:37,440 --> 02:02:40,360
Speaker 1: been close and that's I think the key ingredient. Hey,

2538
02:02:40,960 --> 02:02:44,400
Speaker 1: just as an aside, I wrote a really interesting post

2539
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:47,040
Speaker 1: from Andrew Brant. You know Andrew writes the business in

2540
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:49,760
Speaker 1: the NFL Frequent Guests Hunter show We Gotta Get him Out.

2541
02:02:49,760 --> 02:02:52,480
Speaker 1: He wrote a thing about how the television ratings are

2542
02:02:52,600 --> 02:02:54,640
Speaker 1: yes and uptick this year so far in the NFL,

2543
02:02:54,720 --> 02:02:56,760
Speaker 1: but he didn't think that's a big deal. He thinks

2544
02:02:56,840 --> 02:02:58,960
Speaker 1: long term, the league's got to worry about the length

2545
02:02:59,080 --> 02:03:02,040
Speaker 1: of games for younger people. He said, young people are

2546
02:03:02,120 --> 02:03:05,000
Speaker 1: not going to going to invest three hours, three and

2547
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:06,840
Speaker 1: a half hours in an NFL game in the future.

2548
02:03:06,840 --> 02:03:08,400
Speaker 1: He might be on we Gotta get Andrew brand out

2549
02:03:08,440 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 1: to talk about this. It is. I mean, with social

2550
02:03:11,760 --> 02:03:14,080
Speaker 1: media and everybody being on their phone all the time

2551
02:03:14,120 --> 02:03:18,640
Speaker 1: and having about a fifteen second window of attention, it

2552
02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:21,240
Speaker 1: may it may become an issue, but by the same token,

2553
02:03:21,320 --> 02:03:22,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of it too is And I know

2554
02:03:22,960 --> 02:03:25,120
Speaker 1: you do this too. Have you ever watched NFL Red Zone?

2555
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:28,720
Speaker 1: You probably haven't. I have seen NFL red Zone. It's um,

2556
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's only one way to say it's wow,

2557
02:03:32,280 --> 02:03:35,280
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It's it's the only time when a football

2558
02:03:35,320 --> 02:03:37,720
Speaker 1: fan will ever watch and anybody will ever watch TV

2559
02:03:37,960 --> 02:03:39,400
Speaker 1: and you can just lay the remote off on the

2560
02:03:39,440 --> 02:03:42,120
Speaker 1: other side of the room. You don't need no commercials.

2561
02:03:42,200 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 1: There's no commercials. And and every time something you get

2562
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:48,720
Speaker 1: even to a point where you think okay, and they go,

2563
02:03:48,840 --> 02:03:51,280
Speaker 1: let's go see and they change the channel for you. Yes,

2564
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:53,680
Speaker 1: it's like they're ahead of you. You never feel like

2565
02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 1: you're missing it. It is unbelievable, and it's I think

2566
02:03:56,760 --> 02:04:00,640
Speaker 1: that more than anything, is kind kind of a trend

2567
02:04:00,760 --> 02:04:04,200
Speaker 1: and what people love to see. And it's indicative of

2568
02:04:04,320 --> 02:04:06,480
Speaker 1: what Andrew Brandt's talking about in that in that post

2569
02:04:06,560 --> 02:04:10,280
Speaker 1: where three hour games maybe maybe start, maybe start to

2570
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:13,160
Speaker 1: be a dinosaur. A message to the control room Andrew Brant,

2571
02:04:13,200 --> 02:04:15,480
Speaker 1: we need him, guess maybe next week, just saying there

2572
02:04:15,520 --> 02:04:17,560
Speaker 1: you go, NFL true and false. We're still on that right.

2573
02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Broad to by Nancy's fancy New York artisan cheese. This

2574
02:04:20,280 --> 02:04:23,520
Speaker 1: came up this week, Um, the Chicago Bears are getting

2575
02:04:23,560 --> 02:04:26,880
Speaker 1: ready to play New England, right, and Bill Parcels was

2576
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:30,080
Speaker 1: asked if Bears Belichick or Bill Belichick was asked if

2577
02:04:30,560 --> 02:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Chicago pass rusher Khalil Mack Khalil Mack ranks up there

2578
02:04:33,800 --> 02:04:37,400
Speaker 1: with the likes of Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White. Belichick's

2579
02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 1: answer interesting, and he doesn't. You know how Belichick is

2580
02:04:39,760 --> 02:04:42,760
Speaker 1: in news conferences, doesn't usually see anything. His quote here,

2581
02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're talking about Lawrence Taylor. Now, I'm

2582
02:04:45,200 --> 02:04:47,400
Speaker 1: not putting anybody in Lawrence Taylor's clash. You could put

2583
02:04:47,440 --> 02:04:49,840
Speaker 1: everybody down below that. That's with a ton of respect

2584
02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:51,920
Speaker 1: for good players. Now, but we're talking about Lawrence Taylor.

2585
02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:54,720
Speaker 1: Can you imagine Belichick talking about He didn't say with

2586
02:04:54,840 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 1: your energy. He said, like you just woke up from Yeah.

2587
02:04:58,240 --> 02:05:01,320
Speaker 1: He said, here's the question, there's no player in Lawrence

2588
02:05:01,400 --> 02:05:05,160
Speaker 1: Taylor's class. True? False? You want, I'm gonna go first.

2589
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:07,880
Speaker 1: I say true. LT. What I hate? I hope I'm not,

2590
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:11,240
Speaker 1: just you know, being a fan of nineteen eighties football.

2591
02:05:11,280 --> 02:05:13,680
Speaker 1: But I think that's true. Lawrence Taylor was the best,

2592
02:05:13,960 --> 02:05:17,840
Speaker 1: the most dominant, dynamic defensive player, I believe all time

2593
02:05:17,880 --> 02:05:20,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. LT. I say that's true. I don't

2594
02:05:20,040 --> 02:05:22,240
Speaker 1: like to agree with Belichick, but I think that's true.

2595
02:05:24,240 --> 02:05:26,240
Speaker 1: I would say he is one of a kind. We're

2596
02:05:26,240 --> 02:05:27,720
Speaker 1: a couple of old guys. I would say he's one

2597
02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:30,920
Speaker 1: of a kind. His ability to take over a game.

2598
02:05:31,400 --> 02:05:33,840
Speaker 1: And let's face it, and you can say this too

2599
02:05:33,920 --> 02:05:37,040
Speaker 1: before before Lawrence Taylor is maybe like a guy guy

2600
02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:39,440
Speaker 1: like Dick Buckus who had made a name for himself

2601
02:05:39,480 --> 02:05:41,520
Speaker 1: as a defensive player when it was hard to do

2602
02:05:41,720 --> 02:05:46,360
Speaker 1: that as an individual, uh in NFL on defense. Lawrence

2603
02:05:46,360 --> 02:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Taylor was a guy who did it in modern times

2604
02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:53,520
Speaker 1: and he was a force when nobody else found a

2605
02:05:53,600 --> 02:05:56,920
Speaker 1: way to be a force defensively like that, he was

2606
02:05:57,040 --> 02:06:00,880
Speaker 1: one of a kind. And and even you know, got

2607
02:06:00,920 --> 02:06:03,560
Speaker 1: coaches like Bill and I know Bill Belichick knows and

2608
02:06:03,680 --> 02:06:05,800
Speaker 1: loves Lawrence Taylor. They're friends. He coached him, he was

2609
02:06:05,840 --> 02:06:08,680
Speaker 1: his defensive coordinator, so he owes a lot of his

2610
02:06:08,760 --> 02:06:15,600
Speaker 1: personal success as to him. But yeah, I kind of

2611
02:06:15,640 --> 02:06:17,880
Speaker 1: had to agree with him. Lawrence Taylor was one of

2612
02:06:17,920 --> 02:06:21,160
Speaker 1: a kind. I think back to Khalil Mack's first game

2613
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:23,840
Speaker 1: with Chicago, right that Sunday night game against Green Bay.

2614
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:26,240
Speaker 1: He kind of looked like Lawrence Taylor that that in

2615
02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:28,640
Speaker 1: that game, Remember how dominant he was. They lost that game,

2616
02:06:28,640 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 1: by the way. Yeah, Lawrence Taylor did it week after

2617
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:34,080
Speaker 1: week after and every player's different, you know, from every

2618
02:06:34,120 --> 02:06:36,839
Speaker 1: other player, so they're all they're both have unique qualities.

2619
02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:39,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, Lawrence Taylor had there was there was something

2620
02:06:39,640 --> 02:06:42,600
Speaker 1: extra about him, not only in his production, but his

2621
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:47,240
Speaker 1: attitude and his ability. And I don't know Khalil Mack

2622
02:06:47,280 --> 02:06:50,160
Speaker 1: whether he does this or not, but Lawrence the entire

2623
02:06:50,200 --> 02:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Giants team was better when Lawrence Taylor was in the

2624
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:56,600
Speaker 1: locker room on the field. Yeah, all right? Two or false?

2625
02:06:56,680 --> 02:07:00,240
Speaker 1: Part three? Montes Perfect another linebacker, should be suspended for

2626
02:07:00,280 --> 02:07:03,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Uh. Joe Thomas said that

2627
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:06,160
Speaker 1: after did you see Berfick's hit on Antonio Brown the

2628
02:07:06,640 --> 02:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Bengals Pittsburgh the other day? He just went in with

2629
02:07:09,360 --> 02:07:11,040
Speaker 1: his helmet. That's what he does, right, went in with

2630
02:07:11,120 --> 02:07:14,200
Speaker 1: his helmet lowered, drilled him in the helmet. Joe Thomas,

2631
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:16,520
Speaker 1: former Cleveland Brown, said he should be suspended for the

2632
02:07:16,560 --> 02:07:19,480
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Sure or false? I'm gonna say false.

2633
02:07:19,600 --> 02:07:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Vontes Berfect, but no, that

2634
02:07:22,840 --> 02:07:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, give him the right penalty, give him a fine,

2635
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:26,240
Speaker 1: give him a suspension if you want, but not for

2636
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. That's that's too much for him,

2637
02:07:29,200 --> 02:07:31,120
Speaker 1: um I And for that hit, yeah, I think it

2638
02:07:31,240 --> 02:07:33,520
Speaker 1: is too much. But you know, there's been a lot

2639
02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:38,520
Speaker 1: of talk about Vontes Berfiict. He didn't actually hit Brown

2640
02:07:38,640 --> 02:07:40,959
Speaker 1: with his helmet. He hit him with his arm, forearm

2641
02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:44,080
Speaker 1: or his arm cradled against his own side. He didn't

2642
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:47,840
Speaker 1: that was Listen. There's a there's videos going around on

2643
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:50,960
Speaker 1: television all the time now, on highlight shows on ESPN,

2644
02:07:51,040 --> 02:07:54,560
Speaker 1: on on CBS Sports Network, all these all these sports

2645
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:58,160
Speaker 1: networks that have a film clip of Vontes Berfect and

2646
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:01,800
Speaker 1: he has done. And on these clips they show all

2647
02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:04,520
Speaker 1: these plays that vonteks Berwick had done. He's like stomping

2648
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:08,600
Speaker 1: on people. He's stepping on him deliberately. He's given him,

2649
02:08:08,800 --> 02:08:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, cheap shots. He's given them extra shots everything.

2650
02:08:12,640 --> 02:08:17,920
Speaker 1: He's twisting ankles after he after he tackles them. It's

2651
02:08:17,920 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: just a number of things that happen. And for all

2652
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:23,520
Speaker 1: of that stuff, yeah, I can see you can make

2653
02:08:23,600 --> 02:08:28,880
Speaker 1: a case for a guy being suspended. But for the

2654
02:08:28,960 --> 02:08:31,440
Speaker 1: one hit on Antonio Brown, I say, no, you're not

2655
02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna do it for that, it's too much, it's too much.

2656
02:08:33,840 --> 02:08:35,680
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on him. He might merit that at

2657
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:38,040
Speaker 1: some point NFL True and False brought to you by

2658
02:08:38,440 --> 02:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. Our question today,

2659
02:08:41,240 --> 02:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson, how many starts does he get this year?

2660
02:08:43,560 --> 02:08:45,240
Speaker 1: What do you think? Got a couple of phone calls?

2661
02:08:45,280 --> 02:08:47,720
Speaker 1: We should work in here quickly, Paul in Akron, New York.

2662
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Hy Paul, go and you're on the air. Hey, how

2663
02:08:50,480 --> 02:08:54,280
Speaker 1: are you guys to this afternoon? Okay, John, I know

2664
02:08:54,400 --> 02:08:57,880
Speaker 1: you're in favor of starting Josh Allen and I kind

2665
02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:01,120
Speaker 1: of would be too, probably out of just curiosity to

2666
02:09:01,360 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 1: want to see more, because you all, we've seen so little.

2667
02:09:04,560 --> 02:09:06,760
Speaker 1: But as the coach, what do you think he would

2668
02:09:06,800 --> 02:09:10,080
Speaker 1: do or what would you do if Anderson goes in

2669
02:09:10,440 --> 02:09:13,280
Speaker 1: and you know, okay, maybe just wins a decent game

2670
02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:16,160
Speaker 1: this week, but then beats the snot out it in

2671
02:09:16,160 --> 02:09:19,000
Speaker 1: New England, and then what do you do for the

2672
02:09:19,080 --> 02:09:21,560
Speaker 1: following game? Well, first, I ga him a game ball, right.

2673
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:23,560
Speaker 1: First of all, Murph would put him on Mount Rushmore

2674
02:09:24,400 --> 02:09:28,000
Speaker 1: from beating the Patriots. Yeah, that'll be huge. You can't

2675
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:30,280
Speaker 1: overreact to one game, though, I think the decision will

2676
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:33,520
Speaker 1: be made with the dude. I mean, look, you've seen

2677
02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:35,960
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. He thinks about these things. He doesn't rush

2678
02:09:36,040 --> 02:09:39,240
Speaker 1: into it. Beating New England would be huge. If Derek

2679
02:09:39,360 --> 02:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Anderson engineered that, that would be a factor. But does

2680
02:09:42,280 --> 02:09:44,920
Speaker 1: that guarantee him starting the rest of the season. I

2681
02:09:44,920 --> 02:09:46,800
Speaker 1: don't think so. If he wins the next two games,

2682
02:09:47,080 --> 02:09:49,560
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. Whether Josh Allen's healthy or not.

2683
02:09:50,920 --> 02:09:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm not agreeing to it. He will not he will

2684
02:09:53,120 --> 02:09:54,880
Speaker 1: not come off the field if he wins the next

2685
02:09:54,920 --> 02:09:57,440
Speaker 1: two games, particularly if he plays they win the next

2686
02:09:57,440 --> 02:09:59,200
Speaker 1: two games. If they win, if they win, if they

2687
02:09:59,240 --> 02:10:01,080
Speaker 1: win the next two game games and he plays well,

2688
02:10:01,280 --> 02:10:04,000
Speaker 1: not great, just okay, and they win the next two games,

2689
02:10:04,080 --> 02:10:07,800
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. I don't agree. I think there

2690
02:10:07,960 --> 02:10:11,080
Speaker 1: is a desire to get the playing time and meaningful

2691
02:10:11,120 --> 02:10:13,560
Speaker 1: reps for Josh Allen when he's ready, when he's fully

2692
02:10:13,600 --> 02:10:17,240
Speaker 1: on percent healthy. So I'm not agreeing with that. Paul.

2693
02:10:17,240 --> 02:10:19,640
Speaker 1: Are you still there? Yeah? I'm still here. What do

2694
02:10:19,720 --> 02:10:21,880
Speaker 1: you think if if if they win the next two

2695
02:10:21,920 --> 02:10:26,080
Speaker 1: games and Derek Anderson just plays okay, if he plays

2696
02:10:26,240 --> 02:10:30,640
Speaker 1: just okay, I think I would like to see Alan start.

2697
02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:33,960
Speaker 1: But I mean if he like knocks, you know, lights

2698
02:10:34,040 --> 02:10:37,120

2699
02:10:37,240 --> 02:10:39,960
Speaker 1: just keep him in there and like, ride the hot hand.

2700
02:10:40,400 --> 02:10:43,640
Speaker 1: I agree, I can see that. Yeah, if he's hot,

2701
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:46,640
Speaker 1: ride him absolutely, because then as soon as he's not

2702
02:10:46,760 --> 02:10:49,520
Speaker 1: hot anymore, you can plug Allen there. Thanks for recalled

2731
02:12:26,880 --> 02:12:29,280
Speaker 1: head coach of the Indianapolis could Today. We asked them

2732
02:12:29,280 --> 02:12:31,240

2734
02:12:36,240 --> 02:12:39,200
Speaker 1: we're excited about the people in the building and the

2735
02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:41,840
Speaker 1: process that we're going through. And you know, the record

2736
02:12:41,920 --> 02:12:43,720
Speaker 1: isn't what we wanted to be right now, but we've

2737
02:12:43,760 --> 02:12:47,280
Speaker 1: been really really close, you know, just having to find

2738
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:49,240
Speaker 1: we just got to find ways to win these games

2739
02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:52,040
Speaker 1: where every game literally has been a one score game.

2740

Speaker 1: So but we got the right guys in the building

2741
02:12:55,480 --> 02:12:58,320

2742
02:12:58,440 --> 02:13:02,440
Speaker 1: right way. Perfectly measured response by your buddy, Frank Raik.

2745
02:13:07,840 --> 02:13:09,400
Speaker 1: head coach at the ENFL. I do too, and I

2746
02:13:09,560 --> 02:13:12,440
Speaker 1: think that you know, it's like any you get a

2747
02:13:12,480 --> 02:13:15,760
Speaker 1: head coaching job because the team needed a change and

2748
02:13:16,200 --> 02:13:17,880
Speaker 1: they weren't ready to win a Super Bowl. So he

2749
02:13:17,960 --> 02:13:19,560
Speaker 1: knew that when he took over the reins, much like

2750
02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott here in Buffalo and every other head coach

2751
02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:24,200
Speaker 1: who takes over the job, there's work to be done.

2752
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:26,840
Speaker 1: And as you could tell from that response from Frank,

2753
02:13:27,640 --> 02:13:29,320
Speaker 1: they're well on our way to change and things and

2754
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:31,480
Speaker 1: turn it around. Yep, we got our Friday Show coming
