1
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live, presented by Calllida Health. How's

2
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: everybody doing on this snowy Wednesday.

3
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on One Bill's Live.

4
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for making us part of your afternoon.

5
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: Happy to have you with us.

6
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: And Bill's back on the practice field and a walk

7
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: through capacity today, which is kind of part for the

8
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: course this time and year. Give the bodies an extra

9
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: day to recover and we'll get into all the odds

10
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: and ends that are going on here at One Bill's

11
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Drive today. You probably saw yesterday that the Bills released

12
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: wide receiver Dion Kane from their practice squad. That opened

13
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: up a spot on the practice squad and they filled

14
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: it today. The Bills have signed veteran safety Micah Hyde

15
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: to their practice squad. They had an open spot, as

16
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: we said, High play seven seasons at safety for the Bills,

17
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: as we know, but was not re signed this past

18
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: off season. Now, before everybody gets overly excited, let's just

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: give you the lay of the land, as explained by

20
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: head coach Sean McDermott about an hour ago. He said

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: the signing of Hyde is not a reflection on the

22
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: play of the safeties who are on the active roster Hides.

23
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: McDermott said, quote, we're in a good spot and we're

24
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: happy with the guys we've got. So I think the

25
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: interpretation here, Steve is this is a guy that's going

26
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: to be able to mentor players like Cole Bishop on

27
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: this roster. Is a quiet sitting in the background kind

28
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: of leader in the locker room, provide some perspective to

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: guys who maybe are younger and haven't been through it

30
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: and seen as much as he's seen. And uh, you know,

31
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: a guy that's well versed in the defense.

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't think the plan is for him

33
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: to play, you know, I think it's for him to mentor.

34
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

35
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: And it's and he's obviously a break glass in case

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: of fire. Yeah, you've got a guy that will acclimate

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: very quick. You got him in the building. Now he's

38
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: going to get back up to speed and mentally and

39
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: get ready and if you need to, I mean you

40
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 3: plug him in. That's he's a last case scenario.

41
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: He's insurance.

42
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: He's a safety valve.

43
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's insurance for essentially what he is.

44
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, smart move. We thought, you know, remember how we

45
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: thought we all thought this was going to happen during

46
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: training camp and stuff.

47
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, he had said back in the spring that

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: if he was going to play anywhere, it was only

49
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: going to be Buffalo, nowhere else. Let's not forget he

50
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: had a serious neck injury that required surgery, and I

51
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: don't think that's even now out of his mind. I

52
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: think it's something that he still thinks about, especially with

53
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: a young family. You know, you you want to think

54
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: about your I want to think about the long term

55
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: when you got you know, Toddler's running around at home.

56
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: And as we know, football is a is a brutal sport.

57
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: So anybody with a neck injury, he would understand why

58
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: they would take pause. So yeah, I think he's a

59
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: just as you said, Steve, a break class in case

60
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: of emergency.

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: It's a he's a good guy to bring back in

62
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: the locker room, well liked, beloved while he was here,

63
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: played extremely well, knows the defense inside and out, has

64
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: you know, loads of experience and and let's face it,

65
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: Miken knows the score. He's there to help. Yeah, he's

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: gonna you know, is he's gonna take cold Bishop under

67
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: his wing and say, hey, this is what you're thinking

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: about here, this is what you do. Hear that all

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: that stuff, And same thing with Kayir and Taylor Rapp.

70
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: Those guys are former teammates. They know him and like

71
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: him too. So yeah, this is a good move for

72
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: the Bills at a time when you need maybe a

73
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: steadying or a you know, a credible voice in the

74
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: locker room say hey, just you know, calm down or whatever,

75
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: or let's go, pump it up, let's go, it's time,

76
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. A guy who knows what time

77
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: it is to do that stuff. Yeah, that I think

78
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: it's a great move, great move, at least on the surface.

79
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: I think it's just timely and it's the right time

80
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: of year for that. You post by you won the division.

81
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: You can't you know, you can't really screw.

82
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: It up, right, As we said, just to walk through

83
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: practice today. But the Bills, by league rule, are going

84
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: to have to provide an estimated list of participation on

85
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: their Wednesday injury and it will read as follows. Full

86
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: participants will be Tayland Grabile and Dwayne Carter, the two

87
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: rookies who both remain on injured reserve as of now,

88
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: but they practiced full last week they're full again today.

89
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: So both are nearing returns to the roster. Limited participants

90
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: include the following players. Kean Coleman, who's missed the last

91
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: two games, Dalton Kincaid who's missed the last two as well,

92
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 2: Quinton Morris, Taylor Rapp, and Curtis Samuel. So we don't

93
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: have what those injury designations are as of yet. We

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: know it's the risk for Coleman, the knee for Kincaid,

95
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: but Morris, Rap and Samuel our new additions, So we'll

96
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: see what the Wednesday injury report reveals to us later

97
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: this afternoon. And Josh Allen was named AFC Offensive Player

98
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: of the Week. It is the fourteenth time he has

99
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: won this award. It's the most of any player since

100
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: he entered the league in twenty eighteen. As we know,

101
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: he became the first quarterback in league history to have

102
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in a single game.

103
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: He also tied Cam Newton for twenty two career games

104
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: with at least two passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown,

105
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: which is the most in NFL history. He does that

106
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: one more time, he'll have the record all by himself.

107
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, he passed Hall of Famer

108
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: Jim Kelly for the most total touchdowns in team history.

109
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 2: He now has two hundred and forty eight. The record

110
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: was two hundred forty four. I don't know if you

111
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: could pack any more records into one dang game.

112
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 3: It's a good week, huh, It's a pretty good week.

113
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: How you feel if you're Jerry Judy at two hundred

114
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: and thirty five yards receiving and you didn't.

115
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: Get the award? Gee? Willakers Man?

116
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you gonna do?

117
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Man Soffer? Competing with that guy?

118
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: Guys on you know, I mean Jerry Judy did on

119
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: Monday Night football too, and in a return to this town,

120
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: who kicked him to the curb?

121
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: Although they did not win the game the.

122
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 3: Brand, Yes, he was a Lewis loss. Yeah, there's a difference.

123
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: I'm yeah, good for Josh, good for the team. This

124
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: is hard to imagine, at least for the regular season,

125
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 3: getting to a bigger crescendo than it did on Sunday

126
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: night for the Bills. They got five games left and

127
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: they got a long way to go.

128
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem. They still got five games.

129
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: Five games left, and the one seed is on on

130
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: the plate. It's on the menu. You got to chase

131
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: the Chiefs down. Chiefs got a tough game against the

132
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: LA Chargers, a division game. It'll be interesting. It'll Sunday

133
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: night football. That's that's going to be really interesting to

134
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: see them in that game. You know, all Bills fans

135
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: obviously going to be pulling hard for the Chargers in

136
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: the earthly see if they played. Yeah, in the earlier matchup,

137
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: it was at one point. Game is a one possession

138
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: game that the Chiefs beat them ten, seventeen to ten.

139
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: Week three, Well, I'm sorry, Week four beat them seventeen

140
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: ten Week four. This is the second the Chargers have

141
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: been on a little bit of the heater of their own.

142
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: We talked about how the Bills ran seven straight. They

143
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: have won six of their last eight. The Chargers are

144
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: for real, yep, as you figured they'd get there at

145
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: some point with under Jim Harbaugh. Here they are.

146
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, no surprise really because that team has always had talent,

147
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: they just haven't been able to pull.

148
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: It all together.

149
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: Come on, charge, it play.

150
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: Consistent football, So yeah, we would welcome.

151
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: A Chargers on. This matchup is in Kansas City though.

152
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, but division teams aren't intimidated playing there, right,

153
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: it's different.

154
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: It's a different year. I mean, yeah, felt like the

155
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Bills did for a while.

156
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: Well yeah, the Bills still. I mean the Bills. That's

157
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 3: not Bills no flinch going in there anymore. I mean,

158
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: they know it's going to be a tough environment, but

159
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: it's like, come on, let's go, you know. So that's

160
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 3: the Chargers are going to be right there.

161
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I would agree, let's go around the NFL. Presented

162
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: by Kalida Healthy, official Healthcare System of the Buffalo Bills.

163
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison pled not guilty Tuesday

164
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: to two misdemeanor DUI charges stemming from an arrest back

165
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: in the summer near LA's International Airport, and he has

166
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: a pre trial conference hearing scheduled in January. But he

167
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: was charged with driving under the influence.

168
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 3: And.

169
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: You know, basically they found him asleep at the wheel

170
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: of his white Rolls Royce that was blocking a lane

171
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: of I one to five westbound near the airport.

172
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: Apparently he was in a bad place.

173
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: Publicly said he was in a bad place last summer,

174
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: and he largely credits his teammates for pulling him out

175
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: of the funk. That he was in and you know,

176
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: we know mental health is a bigger thing these days,

177
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: so hopefully that gets handled and you know, we'll see

178
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: what happens with regard to the NFL's personal conduct policy.

179
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: Steelers pass rusher Alex high Smith fully expected to be

180
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: back this week for Sunday's rematch with the Browns. That

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: according to head coach Mike Tomlin, high Smith was close

182
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: to coming back to the lineup for the Steelers last week,

183
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 2: but was ultimately inactive against the Bengals.

184
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: So while high Smith.

185
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: Is probably gonna come back, looks like they're gonna lose

186
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: Calvin Austin. He's in concussion protocol and he's been a

187
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: productive player for them. He's got like, yeah, I think

188
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: he's got three touchdowns his last four games.

189
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's made some plays of late. When the Pittsburgh

190
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 3: Steelers got into that game against the Bengals and it

191
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: turned into a shootout, Austin came through for them. Although

192
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: he didn't finish the game, he's really helped them. They

193
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: were struggling to score points and he helped him get

194
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: out of that funk.

195
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: A couple more notes here, they're gonna miss him regarding lineups.

196
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: Giants head coach Brian Dables said it will again be

197
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: Drew Lock starting at quarterback when New York squares off

198
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: against New Orleans on Sunday. Giants are two and ten

199
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: on the season, and the Chief signed kicker matthew Right

200
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: to their active roster. This after putting kicker Spencer Schrader

201
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: on injured reserve with an injury. Their regular kicker Harrison

202
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: Butcker eligible to return and from injured reserve himself in

203
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: week fifteen, so he's still a week away at best.

204
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: So they signed matthew Wright, who was on their practice squad,

205
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: to the active roster because Spencer Schrader is hurt and

206
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 2: he had to move off their roster. They're on their

207
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 2: third kicker, third kicker already.

208
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: Crazy.

209
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: How often does have teams cycle through three kickers? It's

210
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: not often. That's pretty uncommon.

211
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: That's rare because usually you just rotate back and forth.

212
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: It's like kind of like a hockey goal league. If

213
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: you got one guy. One guy's off. Now that okay,

214
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 3: let's plug him back. Oh he he stinks too. We'll

215
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: put the other guy back in, you know, yeah, yeah, man,

216
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: oh man. The life of a kicker You're yeah to

217
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 3: be the how about you the third guy in how

218
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: long you think your leash is? Oh my gosh, yeah.

219
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: And I think Matthew Wright's kicked for two or three

220
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: teams this year already.

221
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: Life of a kicker.

222
00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we forgot to mention that Bill's this updates are

223
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: presented by Lee coom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.

224
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: So there's that.

225
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: And I think the eyes will all be on Kincaid

226
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: and Keon Coleman this week because they've missed the last

227
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: few games and people are eager to see them back

228
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: in the lineup, particularly Coleman who's missed a fair amount

229
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: of time here since the Dolphins game. And I think

230
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: that the Seahawks game was the last one he finished

231
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: and he had a great game in that performance. And

232
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: Kincaid went out after the Colts game and hasn't been

233
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: back when he suffered the knee injury. So those are

234
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: two weapons that they have been without the last several weeks.

235
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: So we'll see how they work their way through the

236
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 2: practice week. You know, Thursday will tell us a lot

237
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: as well Friday, but it felt like Coleman was just

238
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: starting to hit his stride and he gets injured on

239
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: a late hit that drew a penalty from Jordan Poyer

240
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: in the Dolphins game right at the end too, to

241
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: boot and ken Kaid's been out for a few weeks.

242
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: Too, and.

243
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, they've kept on keeping on him, and

244
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: you got to give him credit for that. The Bill's

245
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: offense anyway, still pumping out thirty points again.

246
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: Because you think about we're watching highlights of the Seattle

247
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 3: game where he had a couple of big catches. Remember

248
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: the Seattle game is the one where they missed on

249
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: the on the fade on the left side when Josh

250
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: threw it out there and keosay just throw that thing higher.

251
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: So they did it on the other side the exact

252
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 3: same defender and exact same route, just the other way,

253
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: and he pulled it in and it was a it

254
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: was a contested over the top catch and he didn't

255
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: he pulled it in.

256
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you you just.

257
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: Got the feeling he was shifting gears and he got

258
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: his wrist hurt, and yeah that stinks, man. So we'll

259
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: see and it's gonna you know, I would say it's

260
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 3: hard to come in. I remember being really hard to

261
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: get acclimated back in you because the quarterback isn't used

262
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 3: to looking for you again. He's got to get used

263
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: to seeing you on the field in what situation. You

264
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: gotta feel comfortable out there. The coaching staff's got to

265
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: feel ready to put you back in and know that

266
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: you're going to be, you know, one hundred percent ready

267
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: to do your thing. So all this stuff, you kind

268
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 3: of got to feel your way back on the field.

269
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 3: So you know, it may be another two or three

270
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: or four weeks for him to be where he was

271
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: right when he got hurt.

272
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: Right.

273
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: They just they hope that's not the case, But it

274
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: seems like it might.

275
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: Be jam packed show for you today.

276
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: Coming up at the bottom of the hour in about

277
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, we'll be joined by Rams Radio play by

278
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: playman JB. Long to kind of get the updates on

279
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: what's going on out in LA with the Rams, who are,

280
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: you know, trying to make a stretch run here. They're

281
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: in a similar boat to the one that Buffalo was

282
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: in last year and needing just about every game they've

283
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: got left to try to ensure that they're the team

284
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: at the top.

285
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: Of the NFC West at the end of it.

286
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: So we'll catch up with him at about one thirty

287
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: and then a little over an hour from now, we

288
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: hope to be joined by Alec Anderson here in studio,

289
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: who whose bear belly became famous nationally during the snow game.

290
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: So we'll catch up with Buffalo's resident sixth offensive lineman

291
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: a little bit later on the show when he joins

292
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: us here in studio. But in the meantime, we turned

293
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: to head coach Sean McDermott, who addressed the media a

294
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: little over an hour ago, and he effectively explained the

295
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: signing of Micah Hyde and what it means, among other things.

296
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: Here's head coach Sean McDermott.

297
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 5: One additional add on here is Micah Hyde has returned

298
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: to the team in a practice squad role. And just

299
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: to set expectations, Micah is in a practice squad role.

300
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 5: We are fully confident in Taylor Rapp, DeMar Hamlin, Cole

301
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 5: Bishop Kareem Jackson. They've all been doing a real good

302
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 5: job for us in the roles that they are currently in.

303
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 5: They're going to stay in those stay in those roles.

304
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 5: And Micah is in a in a practice squad role,

305
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 5: so good to have him back in his family.

306
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: As well to be with signing him to the play.

307
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, just through conversations, you know that that that have occurred,

308
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 5: you know, like like it normally would, you know, both

309
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 5: parties talking a little bit and just seeing if it's

310
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 5: the right fit more than anything.

311
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 6: So, you know, we'll see where it goes. But we're

312
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 6: happy to have him back.

313
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 7: A competitive spirit.

314
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 8: Was in any surprise that he'd be back, you know,

315
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 8: even as you said, we kept.

316
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 9: The door open.

317
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 5: No, I mean I'm not not surprised, but really not

318
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 5: surprised when any of these players come back.

319
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 6: You know, they they always they do.

320
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 5: Players that leave here to go to play for other

321
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 5: teams or in this case, you know, not play for

322
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 5: another team. They seem to keep pretty close tabs on

323
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 5: what we're doing, which is which is cool.

324
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,119
Speaker 10: The way to view it might be that he provides

325
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 10: insurance and leadership. Would you agree with that characterization?

326
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 6: Is that leading question, your honor?

327
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 5: No, the leadership piece, for sure, you guys know, Micah,

328
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 5: I mean, he's I've said this when he was here playing,

329
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 5: he could go down to the to the bank at

330
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 5: the corner and be the president of the bank just

331
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 5: as easy as he could be the captain of the

332
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 5: Buffalo bills, right, So he just has a unique way

333
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 5: about him from a leadership standpoint, to your point of

334
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 5: who he is as a person and his presence and

335
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 5: the way he's very adaptable to people and to his surroundings.

336
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 11: When you say that, you're trying to see if it's

337
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 11: a fit.

338
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 12: I mean, you know what he brings to a team

339
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 12: and his experience, So what are you looking for?

340
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 13: Just kind of trying to see, you know, next steps.

341
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 6: I say this respectfully very little.

342
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 5: We're in a good spot, you know, very confident in

343
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 5: the guys that have played there all season long and

344
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: done it and done both done a nice job. As

345
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 5: I said a few minutes ago. Very little from a

346
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 5: standpoint of just managing expectations is why I'm saying that, right,

347
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 5: very little from hey, you're gonna come in and you're

348
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 5: gonna play, and you're gonna help. Not Let's just let's

349
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 5: just take it one day at a time, and let's

350
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 5: number one, make sure everybody understands what his role is

351
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 5: right now, and we'll just see. We'll just take it

352
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: one day at a time. It's it's about the team.

353
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 5: It's always about the team, and uh, it's not never

354
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 5: about one person. And in this case, Micah would not

355
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 5: want that to be in this case about him, So.

356
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 8: To develop, when did you kind of find out? And

357
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 8: was he jealous over you know, the snow or something?

358
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was watching the game, he said, on Sunday

359
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 5: night and really missed the snow. And uh so he

360
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 5: right after the game called called Bean and said, hey,

361
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 5: how soon can I get out there? So now, I

362
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 5: you know, you know, Brandon talks with the agents and everything,

363
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 5: and you know it started at some point I couldn't

364
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 5: tell the exact date, but you know, separate of that,

365
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 5: we were always you know, keeping in touch with Mike

366
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 5: just on a personal level and checking in on him.

367
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 5: And so, you know, like like any fire, it kind

368
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 5: of starts small and then.

369
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 6: Kind of slowly builds. So, yeah, I put.

370
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 11: Him through a locker put him through a workout.

371
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: Sorry, did you put him through a workout or was

372
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: it something that you've just kind of been tracking his progress.

373
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: Or where he's at?

374
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: Ye?

375
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 6: No workout.

376
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, I know how important the locker room and culture

377
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 13: is to you. Does it take the right fit man

378
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 13: at this time for you? You know what I mean,

379
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 13: Like you can't have anybody walk into that locker room

380
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 13: right now at this.

381
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 5: Point, Yeah, I'm very protective of of that locker room.

382
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 5: And not only now but for sure now, but also

383
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 5: anytime of year, especially once there you know, we're kind

384
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 5: of into the spring and we're you're looking to drop

385
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 5: you know, a new person in that's you know, like

386
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 5: I said before with around the trade deadline every year,

387
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 5: it's it's got to be the right person the player, yes,

388
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 5: but the right person based on you know, where this

389
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: team currently is, not not in terms of record, but

390
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 5: in terms of where they're at with the relationships and.

391
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 6: The different pieces of the puzzle.

392
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 5: So I think Branda does a really good job of

393
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 5: being aware of that and and mindful of it.

394
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 11: On any correlation to the fact that you did just

395
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 11: mention Rap as the guy who's.

396
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 14: Not must have something yea, nothing to do with it, No, okay,

397
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 14: thank Sean.

398
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 11: Christian Benfert's had a nice season. Where do you feel

399
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 11: he's made his biggest strides in his third year?

400
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 7: Hmm.

401
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 6: I would say his knowledge of the game.

402
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 5: He's always been a smart football player and probably ahead

403
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 5: of the curve in terms of when he was younger,

404
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 5: and but his understanding of our defense for sure, and

405
00:20:53,880 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 5: then also his I think understanding growing understanding of of

406
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 5: opposing offenses. And I think whether it's Jamile, Joe Dana

407
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 5: players that are in there, the veteran players, uh, you know,

408
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 5: in particular russul as I mentioned before, they have a

409
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 5: strong relationship.

410
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 11: Hey, what have you thought of Matt Stafford's season to date?

411
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 11: I mean he's a thirty six year old guy who

412
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 11: doesn't seem to have lost too much?

413
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 14: What have you what have you seen?

414
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 5: Very very impressed? Uh, you know you can obviously you

415
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: know know that in tells. I mean the relationship he

416
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 5: has with Sean, with with coach McVeigh, and they seem

417
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: to be attached at the hip with you know, being

418
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 5: aligned with what they want to do, how they want

419
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 5: to get it done game to game. And you know, uh,

420
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 5: he's always had a strong arm. He's a you know,

421
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 5: very highly competitive player and uh in person and a

422
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 5: ton of respect for for the way he's been able

423
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 5: to play for for so long.

424
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 7: Their receiver shy.

425
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 11: You know you've seen wattle Hill.

426
00:21:58,960 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 7: That's a great two sub.

427
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 11: Trying to think of a couple others you face, but

428
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 11: this one with Nakua and Cup seems to be maybe

429
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 11: as good as you've seen all year as a as

430
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 11: a duel, would you what would you think.

431
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 6: Of I think they've done.

432
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 5: This is a super Bowl team as of what a

433
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 5: few years ago, so a couple of years ago, and

434
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 5: and you know, give them credit. They've done a great

435
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 5: job of keeping some players and then adding some other players,

436
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 5: some new players to the roster, Puka being one of them.

437
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 5: You know, Fisk is another versus another on the defensive side.

438
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: And they've they've got some some good young players that

439
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 5: are that are good football players. And you guys know

440
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 5: how we do it. That's that's what we value as well.

441
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 5: Guys that are just overall good football players, have good instincts.

442
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 5: And when you can look when you when I look

443
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 5: at their roster, at least I see you know, you

444
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: see the the the elites, and then you also see

445
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 5: players that are that are really good football players. And

446
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 5: and they're tough, they're marked, they played they played different positions,

447
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 5: you know, so they had that position flex and I

448
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 5: really respect the way that they're building that roster.

449
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 10: No Sean McVay and what do you think of the

450
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 10: way his offense continues to evolve? You know, Uh, it's

451
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 10: very different offense than it was when Aaron Cromer was

452
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 10: there even.

453
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 5: You know, I think Seawan is one of the you know,

454
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 5: like I said with Shanahan with Kyle last week, Uh,

455
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 5: you know, one of the best coaches in the league.

456
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: You know, he's won a Super Bowl, innovative and how

457
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 5: he shapes his offense year to year, how he utilizes

458
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: his personnel as well. And you know, I think great

459
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 5: coaches take what they have him make it better, right,

460
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 5: And he's done that over the course of his his career.

461
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 5: So a ton of respect for Sean and uh and

462
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 5: and what he's been able to do there and and

463
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 5: how creative he is on offense.

464
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 10: Think of the way Josh has developed or matured in

465
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 10: terms of using his legs, how he manages his scrambling

466
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 10: and running at this point in his career.

467
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 6: He Josh Allen has been able to do that. What

468
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 6: do I think of it?

469
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 5: I think he's you know, he's a highly competitive player

470
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 5: that has also adjusted his game to the modern NFL game,

471
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 5: And he knows, uh when it's time, and he knows

472
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 5: when it's not time. And you know, you're never gonna

473
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 5: to me take ones at someone's athleticism away from them. So,

474
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 5: you know, I just think Josh is in a good,

475
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 5: healthy spot with it. And he's done a great job

476
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 5: this year of taking care of when he's had opportunities

477
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 5: to slide or get out of balance, He's done that.

478
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: So I think he's really doing a great job of it.

479
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 11: Seant on the competition committee, has I given you different

480
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 11: insights into his personality?

481
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 13: Like is he the same guy in those meetings as

482
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 13: he is when he's animated on the field, or.

483
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, No, he's Uh, he's always been like that.

484
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 5: I remember when he was in Washington and I was

485
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 5: in Carolina. You know, he was young coming up. I

486
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 5: was I'm a little bit older than he is, but

487
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 5: I was still kind of coming up through myself and

488
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 5: and so just you know, got to know him a

489
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 5: little bit. Then we share the same agent candidly here,

490
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 5: so I know him and and uh, like I said,

491
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 5: I have a ton of respect for him.

492
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 13: So you said Monday that you know Matt, you felt

493
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 13: he got a little better and he went on. Now

494
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 13: that were a few days removed out, checking in with

495
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 13: trainers all that. How do you think you know Matt

496
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 13: is alone after a full confident.

497
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 5: Snaps person Yeah, Yeah, no, I think he uh, I

498
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 5: think he did.

499
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 6: He did well, he came out.

500
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 5: I don't want to speak for him, so I don't

501
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 5: you could ask him how sorry he was. But when

502
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 5: you don't play, when you haven't played for X amount

503
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 5: of months, you know that's a that's going to happen.

504
00:25:59,520 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 6: That's natural.

505
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 5: So you know, I think he's looking forward to to

506
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 5: to being able to get out there again, especially this week,

507
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 5: and practice and build on what he did last week.

508
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 11: Sean on offense, you guys are top five at first

509
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 11: out Russia's this year. How important has that been for

510
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 11: your balance and also just to.

511
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 14: Set other things up?

512
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think the line of scrimmage is important, right,

513
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: You guys know that. It's really to me, you know,

514
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 5: freeze it, freeze you up as an offense to do

515
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 5: what you want to do, whether it's run it again,

516
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 5: throw it again.

517
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 6: So it's it's an important piece for us for sure.

518
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 14: It's a jumbo package, more than any team in the

519
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 14: league by a lot. Can you explain, Alec Anderson know

520
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 14: how that has happened?

521
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 5: It's not you there from pulling his shirt up in

522
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 5: the touchdown the other day, h explain Alec Anderson and

523
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 5: what kinds that happened?

524
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 14: How has he evolved into this role where you guys

525
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 14: use I mean it's been over one hundred snaps, I

526
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 14: think it is at this point, and that's been a's

527
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 14: been an effective way to play for you guys.

528
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know it has.

529
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 5: We used David last year, David Edwards last year, and

530
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 5: it was effective for us then. And and I think

531
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 5: Alex done a great job of stepping into that role.

532
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 5: Right He here's a player who really hadn't played much

533
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 5: varsity snaps, many varsity snaps prior to the season, and

534
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: to come in and be, you know, really take advantage

535
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 5: the opportunity one be given more opportunities and take advantage

536
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 5: of those and having a really good understanding of where

537
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 5: he fits as from a role in our offense, from

538
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 5: a role.

539
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 6: Standpoint, So you know, I really enjoy when he comes.

540
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 5: Off the field, the communication, the comments that he makes.

541
00:27:52,080 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 6: Just you know, it's colorful. It's colorful. Yeah, no, it's

542
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 6: color all right.

543
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: That's head coach Sean McDermot talking about the guy we're

544
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 2: going to have in the studio here later on in

545
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: the show, Alec Anderson, who is serving as the sixth

546
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: offensive lineman in their jumbo package.

547
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: Last year was David Edwards.

548
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: This year it's Alec Anderson and he's been out there

549
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 2: for one hundred and eight plays this season, more than

550
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: double the next closest team in the NFL. Some teams

551
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: use a smattering of it. The Bills use it often,

552
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: and I mean especially in a snow game.

553
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: They used at Big Time to kind of dictate the

554
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: run games.

555
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: Thirty last week, thirty eight percent of the plays were yeah,

556
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 3: we're six offensive linemen last week, yeah, and they and

557
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: it helped, it helped. Yeah.

558
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: So here's some numbers on that in case you were wondering.

559
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo averages an eleven percent explosive run rate and a

560
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: thirty point eight percent explosive pass rate from heavy personnel.

561
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: That is number one in the league amongst teams that

562
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: have at least thirty five jumbo snaps this season. So

563
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: I know earlier in the year when I had looked

564
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: it up, they were also averaging about five yards per

565
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 2: carry with a sixth offensive lineman on the field.

566
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: And I think we all know this.

567
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: He plays with an attitude Anderson, so when he's out there,

568
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: he brings an edge to that group. He has some grit, yes,

569
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: And I'll give you a perfect example, the five yard

570
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: touchdown run by Ray Davis at the start of that game.

571
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: Anderson's on the right end of the formation there, the

572
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: run goes to the right and he effectively walls off

573
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: any pursuit from the first or second level. So it's

574
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: basically Ray Davis against the defensive back one on one

575
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: with all kinds of white turf in front of him. Yeah,

576
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's him and Charvarius Ward.

577
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that Personnel grouping has been a big part

578
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: of what they've done. This team has been able to

579
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: run the football when they want to, not when they

580
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 3: have to. They can do it when the other team

581
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: knows it's coming and they don't care. They're still successful

582
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: at and that's a huge step for an offense.

583
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but when we come back,

584
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: we're going to be joined with Rams Radio play by

585
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: playman JB.

586
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: Long to give us.

587
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: The lowdown on what is going on out there in

588
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Have the Rams recaptured their offensive magic. We'll

589
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: find out next here on One Bill's Live, presented by

590
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, Welcome, back

591
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: to One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here with

592
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: you on a Wednesday afternoon, and please to be joined

593
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: now by Rams Radio play by playman JB. Long, who's

594
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: going to kind of give us the lowdown on what's

595
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: going on with the Rams here. JB thanks for the

596
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: time first and foremost second, as Matt Stafford kind of

597
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: rediscovered his swing here, because it looks like in the

598
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: last few weeks, especially since Nikoua and Cup got back

599
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: in the lineup. I mean he's throwing touchdowns left and right.

600
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: He's got fourteen touchdown since week eight. I mean, is

601
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: he back on a heater here? What's going on up Yeah?

602
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 15: I think to carry through your analogy, he's got his

603
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 15: preferred caddy and swing coach back in his camp and

604
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 15: that's made a real difference. I think up Front two having,

605
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 15: if not the five that they set out to start

606
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 15: coming out of training camp, I think the final iteration

607
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 15: of their best five is the group that we've seen

608
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 15: in front of him, most recently in New Orleans. With

609
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 15: Rob Hanstein back at right tackle. The offseason acquisition of

610
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 15: Jonah Jackson at guard slash center didn't necessarily pan out

611
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 15: for a variety of reasons. Fortunately, they found a rookie

612
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 15: at center who's been pretty strong, Bo Limmer, and Steve

613
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 15: Avula coming back from his injury at left guard. All

614
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 15: those moving pieces I think created a lot of chaos.

615
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 15: You'll see in his metrics how much he's been pressured

616
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 15: and how poorly he's performed under pressure on the front half.

617
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 16: Of this season.

618
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 15: But I think his environment has settled down and that's

619
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 15: starting to produce better results.

620
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: To your point, and when they get into this, the

621
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 3: question is really and what do you tell me what

622
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: the vibe is They're they're in the midst of it.

623
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: I mean, they're not these injuries, you know, Puka Nakua,

624
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup. Now they got the band back together, they've

625
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: got to feel like they can sprint to the finish

626
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 3: and get in it.

627
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 16: I think that's right, Steve.

628
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 15: I think this has been a good team, that's been

629
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 15: a better than average team. I think they've done really

630
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 15: well at a rally from one to four, three games

631
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 15: below five hundred to get back to six and six,

632
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 15: but a few times here now in the middle of

633
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 15: this season, they've had the chance to break through and

634
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 15: become a winning football team. And each time, they've fallen flat.

635
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 15: So I think this last stretch and especially Sunday, is

636
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 15: very much about Okay, are they just a playoff bubble

637
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 15: team or are they a true contender? Can they go

638
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 15: from good to great before it's too late. Thankfully for them,

639
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 15: the West has stayed flat enough that that window opportunity

640
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 15: is still very much there, especially because they play each

641
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 15: one of their division opponents one more time before the

642
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 15: season is through.

643
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: I gotta talk about your young defensive line out there.

644
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: It is impressive. I mean, you want to talk about

645
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: a turbo group. Those guys are. It is every team's

646
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: game plan.

647
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: Stay the hell out a third and long.

648
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: Otherwise you're just asking for trouble because I mean, these

649
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: guys can go.

650
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 15: You know, it's interesting, Chris, like the Rams have been

651
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 15: preparing for life after Aaron Donald for at least two

652
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 15: off seasons now, and I don't think they've gotten enough

653
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 15: credit for just how much they've filled that Canton sized

654
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 15: void with their last two classes up front. For all

655
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 15: of my tenure and for much of the modern era

656
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 15: the last decade, every game plan has started with can

657
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 15: we block Aaron Donald? And how This year it's a

658
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 15: much more diverse pass rush. They can get at you

659
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 15: from all four positions up front, they really don't have

660
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 15: to blitz and send extras, which I think has played

661
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 15: to their advantage because at best their average and coverage.

662
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 15: But the way they've been able to puncture pockets with

663
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 15: those four, each of whom has been drafted in the

664
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 15: last two years, is really super impressive. I think you'll

665
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 15: like Jared Vers. I've said to multiple people that I'm

666
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 15: glad that the first round pick out of Florida State

667
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 15: is a RAM because if he wasn't, I don't think

668
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 15: I like him very much. He's like a quintessential thorn

669
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 15: in your side type of guy, easy to root for

670
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 15: when he's wearing your colors, would be a pain if

671
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 15: he was, you know, on your rivals team.

672
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it does seem like they are set up

673
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: to do exactly that rush the passer puncture of the pocket.

674
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 3: They have been. Now they're starting to get some criticism

675
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: because teams are trying to push it or push him around.

676
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 3: They've given up one hundred yard rusher last couple of weeks.

677
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: What are their thoughts? What are your thoughts on their

678
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: ability to not get into you know, short you know

679
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 3: down in distances, you know when teams can stay ahead

680
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 3: of the sticks and not have to throw the football.

681
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 15: Well, they got exposed by Saquon Barkley. And when I

682
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 15: use his name, I mean that to collectively embody the

683
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 15: offense of the Philadelphia Eagles, because whether or not he wins,

684
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 15: MVP has a legitimate chance against your guy, Josh Allen.

685
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 15: I think what has to be spoken of is just

686
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 15: how good that Philadelphia front is. Maurice Jones Drew said

687
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 15: before our game that was the biggest football team he's

688
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 15: ever seen in person, and they really made the Rams

689
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 15: feel that on a Sunday night. So I think last

690
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 15: week was better. Alvin Kamara is having a career season

691
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 15: in New Orleans. It's no small task to limit him

692
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 15: to four point four yards per touch. But the caveat

693
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 15: there is Eric McCoy starting center, wasn't playing. They had

694
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 15: a backup left guard and then had to replace him

695
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 15: due to injury mid stream in that game, and they're

696
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 15: starting a rookie left tackle, So completely different ballgame, much

697
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 15: different than what they'll see from Cook and your offensive

698
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 15: line this week. So I think the jury is very

699
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 15: much out on that. Are they more than just a

700
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 15: pass rush NASCAR type speed unit. I think they are.

701
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 15: They have flexed some different muscles, but not consistently enough

702
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 15: to say that their complete defensive.

703
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: Front, and obviously marrying that rush with coverage is important.

704
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: We saw the Rams try to at least acquire some

705
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: depth by signing Tradevius White in the offseason. Obviously that

706
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: didn't work coming off two major injuries. He's just not

707
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 2: the same guy he once was. And then they swing

708
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: again with Emmanuel Forbes this past week. What do you

709
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: feel they're trying to capture there? Are they trying to

710
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 2: just capture depth in the form of Forbes or do

711
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 2: they think they're interested in trying to do a little

712
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 2: bit better, you know, a week to week in that

713
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: area of their game.

714
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:27,959
Speaker 17: Yeah.

715
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 15: I think it's both near and long term. I think

716
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 15: they're bargain shopping. We talked moments ago about how they've

717
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 15: retooled upfront through recent investments. I think that's going to

718
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 15: be the plan moving forward, is can you continue to

719
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 15: build back through your defense and create that high end

720
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 15: talent in the next couple of cycles. So here's a

721
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 15: chance to get a former first rounder before you wait

722
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 15: for April's draft. And whether it pans out and he

723
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 15: can impact winning as soon as this Sunday or this season.

724
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

725
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 15: Certainly the Commanders didn't think so. But if you had

726
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 15: a quote unquote free first swing at a guy with

727
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 15: high end talent who's still pretty young and might just

728
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 15: benefit from a change of scenery, maybe that accelerates your process,

729
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 15: which again I think is going to take multiple years

730
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 15: to get back to, let's say, the Jalen Ramsey level

731
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 15: of coverage that they enjoyed for a decent stretch when

732
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 15: they were championship contenders.

733
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: So as you see this team, you've got some new pieces,

734
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 3: as you said, their entire defensive line that have been

735
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 3: drafted the last couple days. At least the big contributors.

736
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 3: You've got Mike Lafleur second year as an offensive coordinator,

737
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 3: although you know Sean McVay is a big cog in

738
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 3: the offensive planning and all that. Chris Shula is in

739
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: his first year's defensive coordinator. He's getting some kudos for

740
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: the way your guys are playing it, and you know,

741
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: tell us how there's your fan base and the people

742
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 3: in the building got to feel like, you know what

743
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: we're poised here. If we can get these guys right,

744
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 3: we've got a chance to be good here for a while.

745
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford, notwithstanding the fact that he may get old

746
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 3: at some point, but he's not playing like it right.

747
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 3: So you guys got to feel like you're poised if

748
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 3: you can get this together, not only to make a

749
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: run this year, but subsequent years.

750
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's interesting. It's been about keeping the window open

751
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 15: and how long the Rams have been able to do

752
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 15: that for much of the past. Let's just say, for

753
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 15: much of the Sean McVay era, everything orbited around Aaron Donald.

754
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 15: While he's the greatest defensive player walking the planet, how

755
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 15: many chances can you give yourself to compete for Lombardi

756
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 15: Trophy post retirement? I think that onus has shifted to

757
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 15: Matthew Stafford. While he's still one of the five best

758
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 15: throwers of the football on the planet. How many more

759
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 15: cracks can you give him? And so, even though the

760
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 15: Rams have not played any better than their six and

761
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 15: six record, I would argue, are they still a team

762
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 15: that's going to be a tough out if you can

763
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 15: get Stafford and McVeigh into the dance?

764
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 7: Yeah?

765
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 15: I think so, especially because I don't see a real

766
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 15: wild card path for them. I think to get in

767
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 15: they have to win the West, which would mean a

768
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 15: playoff home game. So I think that's a real dangerous

769
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 15: cocktail for any team that has to come into Sofi

770
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 15: Stadium in terms of where they are in the face

771
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 15: and temperature. I think there were bigger expectations this year,

772
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 15: if I'm being honest, because of the investments they made

773
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 15: on their offense. It really felt like they were going

774
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 15: all in again on the Stafford era, and unfortunately a

775
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 15: lot of the free agent acquisitions you mentioned Trey White,

776
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 15: I've mentioned Jonah Jackson, they just haven't really hit. And

777
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 15: so that's been frustrating to have, you know, an offensive

778
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 15: line where you've spent a lot of resources, a skill

779
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 15: group where you've spent a lot of resources, Kyen Williams

780
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 15: coming off of Pro Bowl season, and yet you're just

781
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 15: kind of been middling in terms of your offensive production.

782
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 15: Maybe their best days are ahead of them as soon

783
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 15: as this Sunday, or maybe this justn't just wasn't the

784
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 15: right fit, This wasn't the right year for them, and

785
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 15: we'll find that out here on the five game closing stretch.

786
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: Last one for me JB.

787
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: You mentioned Kien Williams, he and James Cook of the

788
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: same draft class, both with a Pro Bowl under their

789
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: belts after just a couple of years. How would you

790
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: characterize Kyron's running style?

791
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: Number one? And then number two?

792
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 2: How has Blake Korum kind of factored in as his compliment?

793
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 15: Yeah, really interesting timing for that question, Chris coming off

794
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 15: their best rushing performance of the year in New Orleans,

795
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 15: and also I felt a much different design and intention

796
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 15: to that running game if we're to rewind time twelve months,

797
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 15: the Rams were a runaway freight train on offense.

798
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 7: With their running game.

799
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 15: They had found a new downhill duo identity and it

800
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 15: really played well. Like Kiran Williams was setting up off

801
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 15: ball linebackers and making them pay running on corners. It

802
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 15: was a thing of beauty to behold. And so given

803
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 15: the additions they made to their offensive line this offseason

804
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 15: and the fact that they drafted Blake Korm, who we

805
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 15: all felt like was as close to a clone of

806
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 15: Kyron Williams as you could find in this draft class,

807
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 15: the writing was on the wall like, oh, the Rams

808
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 15: have an identity and they want to double down on it.

809
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 15: For twenty twenty four, and yet when you look inside

810
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 15: the results, they just haven't been there, especially with the

811
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 15: running game until last week. But I'll point out you

812
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 15: go back and look at a lot of those run

813
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 15: designs last week, they were riding the wave of the

814
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 15: outside zone in a way that they did more back

815
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 15: in the Todd Gurley Jared Goff era or the Aaron

816
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 15: Fromer era for that matter. So I'll be curious to

817
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 15: see what their intention is and their structure their design

818
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 15: against the Buffalo Bills this week, because if you were

819
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 15: to ask me to pinpoint what is the rams offensive

820
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 15: identity right now, I'm not sure. I think what they've

821
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 15: done best is play action pass put Stafford under center,

822
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 15: which paradoxically is not really like his preference for how

823
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 15: he likes to live. But in terms of their expected

824
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 15: points added, in terms of structure and play design, that's

825
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 15: where they've been at their best, and maybe this run

826
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 15: game coming alive can elevate that to its highest level.

827
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 3: JB Man, thanks for spending some time with us. We

828
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 3: appreciate it.

829
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 7: Good to see you guys.

830
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 15: Glad to see Taylor Rapp and David Edwards and a

831
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 15: bunch of former Rams that we all thought highly of

832
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 15: when they're here in Los Angeles are thriving.

833
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, bet, thanks JB.

834
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 15: We'll see you Sunday, all right, safe travels.

835
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 7: All right.

836
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: That's JB.

837
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: Long Rams play by play man joining us kind of

838
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: giving us the four to one one on this law.

839
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 2: Los Angeles squad who you know now that they're they

840
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 2: were unhealthy at the beginning of the year and really

841
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: struggled like week in, week out one and four start.

842
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: Uh, they've kind of rebounded from that.

843
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 3: Cup were both heard the guys and their.

844
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: Entire offensive line took turns getting hurt.

845
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 3: Too, right, So, yeah, they were, they were up against

846
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 3: it and struggled to win games during it.

847
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think this is.

848
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 2: A sneaky more competitive game than some Bills fans might

849
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: be anticipating. Plus it's in their place. They're in the

850
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 2: thick of a division race that they have to win

851
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 2: if they want to make the playoffs, because there might

852
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 2: only be one rep if from the NFC West this

853
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: year in the playoff, and it might be the division winner.

854
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: If the Bills protect Josh and give them a little

855
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: bit of time, you would think this game is going

856
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: to go that way for the Bills. It's going to

857
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 3: be a good day for the Bills. But like we've

858
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 3: been talking about their pass rushes, yeah is good.

859
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: My only concern is the Bills have been living in

860
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: a lot of third and longs the last few weeks.

861
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: They been able to overcome him and convert. Anyway, you

862
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: getting third and eight thirty nine against this crew, you're

863
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 2: not staying on the field.

864
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: They get to your quarterback fast. Got to take a

865
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: break here.

866

Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll take a look at some

867
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,440

868

Speaker 1: You should be looking for next.

876
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: be now that the division title is wrapped up and

877
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 2: you still have five games to play? So what does

878
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: the mentality have to be knowing that the task is

879
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 2: far from finished.

880
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 3: You've gotta We talked about this a little bit yesterday.

881
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 3: The job at hand is the Rams. You gotta attack

882
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 3: this game like you've attacked everything. The playoffs and the

883
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 3: division and the one seed and all that stuff is

884
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 3: off to the side, somewhere out.

885
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 7: Of the way.

886
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 3: You're You've got to get ready to play the La Rams.

887
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: You gotta and the game is important. You gotta. You

888
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 3: gotta keep winning football games. Uh. And that's it. That's

889
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 3: as far as your game day mentality goes. This game

890
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 3: is like every other game. You gotta win it, and

891
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna go out there and prepare to win it,

892
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: and you're gonna get practice hard. You gotta prepare hard,

893
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 3: and you gotta do all the details of winning this game. Certainly.

894
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 3: I mean now you and I are both When you're

895
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 3: in the media, you get inundated with stats and now

896
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: it's all playoff scenarios. Who can who can clinch a playoff? Birth?

897
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 3: Who can clinch the division? Who at the Bills have

898
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 3: done all that? And and the and the big conversation

899
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: is outside of whatever's going on on the field for

900
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 3: the Bills. You got to stay on the field. You

901
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,720
Speaker 3: gotta stay it focused on the Rams in this game

902
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 3: this week, just like the one you did in Week one,

903
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 3: Just like in week ten, just like in week twelve.

904
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 3: Stay on point, don't worry about all that other stuff.

905
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 3: That's the game day mentality. It's the Rams this week.

906
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 3: Let's go.

907
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And next week it's got to be the Lions,

908
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 2: and that's week after that, you know, in the week

909
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 2: after that. So it's just I think it's a weird

910
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: place that the Bills find themselves. It's not a bad

911
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: place your division champs with five games to play, but

912
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: it's a weird place to be. So for them, it's rare.

913
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: It's going to require a little bit of mental adjustment. Yeah,

914
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 2: this week, we have to take a break here because

940
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 17: little small planning that I thought I was getting away with,

Speaker 2: going to be doing the same thing on the same week?

946
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 17: I didn't he actually, you know I did. He came

947
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 17: to me and asked for all the same ideas.

948
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like, you know, the quarterback gets

949
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: all the shine to begin with, and then of all

950
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 2: weeks that you decide, know you're gonna pop the question,

951
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 2: your dang quarterback's got to do the same thing.

952
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 17: I had no idea that that was gonna happen. We

953
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 17: came back on Monday and I was getting a lift

954
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 17: in and I think it was Coach McDermott. He was like, hey,

955
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 17: congrats you and Josh Hunt. I was like, I didn't know.

956
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 7: Josh.

957
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 17: I was like, good for him, Yeah, it was. It

958
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 17: was great news.

959
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: We're happy for both of you guys.

960
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 7: That's awesome.

961
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: It's a fun time for sure. So let's let's begin

962
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: with the snow game. I know that footwear is super important.

963
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 2: You know when weather's going to be a little dicey,

964
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 2: But the forecast was snow should stop by the time

965
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: the game starts, and then all of a sudden, you

966
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: guys walk out there, the coin gets flipped, and the

967
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 2: stuff starts coming down till the end of the game.

968
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: So what's your process there? Are you always bringing two

969
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 2: pair out or were you pretty confident, like I can

970
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 2: do what I need to do here, even if yeah,

971
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 2: it's a little suspect.

972
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 17: I was more confident in myself. I've never played in

973
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 17: a snow game. So this was a first for me,

974
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 17: so I really had no idea what to expect. But

975
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 17: I think if you start overthinking everything and you're like, oh,

976
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 17: I need three pairs of cleats, two pairs of gloves,

977
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 17: you know different. Center towels are different just because the

978
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 17: sweat and the water on there gets a little different

979
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 17: for them. But I think other than that, no, I

980
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 17: was confident in everything, game plan and myself going into there.

981
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 17: Just you have to kick your feet off a little

982
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 17: bit before you got in your three point stance, but

983
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 17: other than that, nothing too crazy.

984
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 3: Then when did you find out or when did it

985
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 3: become a parent that you were going to run a

986
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 3: ton of six offensive line? You ran a ton of it.

987
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 17: It was news to me. It was yeah, just because

988
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 17: of the weather, they just kept calling whatever the play was,

989
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 17: and I was like, all right, maybe go again. It

990
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 17: was fun though it was it was probably the most

991
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 17: fun that I've ever had playing football. Was just the snow,

992
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 17: the environment, people throwing snowballs, the stadium, just the energy

993
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 17: inside of it is just amazing.

994
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 2: You have to be pretty inspired because you pulled your

995
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 2: shirt up after the touchdown.

996
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 17: It's yeah, you were.

997
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: You were feeling it.

998
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 17: I was feeling it. The snow was speaking to me

999
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 17: and it was, oh, there, it was a great time.

1000
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 17: I'm not gonna lie. I was standing there, I was like,

1001
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 17: I don't know what to do. I was like, I'm

1002
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 17: gonna just flash my gut, hopefully not goot find or anything.

1003
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: Off the side that's not a uniform violation.

1004
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 3: And I ran around, was jumping a beer on himself.

1005
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 3: I mean that was you guys were you guys were

1006
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 3: off the off the hook that night. It was a fun,

1007
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 3: fun night to be uh, to be on the field

1008
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 3: right that it was? What was it? When? Did you

1009
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 3: know too? I mean because you they went down scored.

1010
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 3: You guys went down. You guys went three and out

1011
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 3: right out of the gate. Then you tied it up

1012
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 3: and then you know you they missed a field goal

1013
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 3: and Cookie turns around and takes the disnital on right.

1014
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 7: Yep.

1015
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 17: I think that's just how our offense operates. I think

1016
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 17: that you know, we're just gonna slowly keep doing We're

1017
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 17: gonna do pound the rock, keep doing what we want,

1018
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 17: and then at some point we know our will is

1019
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 17: better than the other teams and it's gonna break through

1020
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 17: one time, and James did that.

1021
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 3: We were sitting here watching the show open come on

1022
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 3: and you were like, that's cool open you're watching when

1023
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 3: hena score touchdown, we put you on the open of

1024
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 3: the show. You know, I.

1025
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 17: I think it is. It might be on the horizon.

1026
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 17: We will install it every now and then. We got

1027
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 17: some plays in there, but just waiting for old father

1028
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 17: Joe to call it for me.

1029
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 2: How how much input did you seek from David having

1030
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 2: done this role last year? I mean, he was serving

1031
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 2: as the six though alignment last year. Now it's your job.

1032
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: How much input did you seek from him?

1033
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 2: Because it's not the same as lining up in one

1034
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 2: spot every snap for an entire game. Sometimes you're in,

1035
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 2: sometimes you're out. Sometimes you're on the left side of

1036
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 2: the formation. Sometimes you're going in motion. What kind of

1037
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 2: input did you seek from David about the role?

1038
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 17: Dave is very vocal about it. Since he did it

1039
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 17: last year. He's been a tremendous help of just kind

1040
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 17: of telling me to look at you know, all right,

1041
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 17: we're playing a penetrating front or a reading front or

1042
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 17: a button press like that. We know on you know,

1043
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 17: our Mondays or Tuesdays based off our installs and then

1044
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 17: off of that we kind of talk about, Okay, now

1045
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 17: this person plays it a little different than their other

1046
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 17: defensive end, and so he really helps me to become

1047
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 17: more of a student of the game and figure out, Okay,

1048
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 17: I got to use a different technique for each person

1049
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 17: and that each d lineman isn't the same. And I

1050
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 17: think that's been the most help with me.

1051
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 3: What what are the early returns on getting ready for

1052
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 3: this Rams game? I know this there's been a lot

1053
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 3: of hoop long we've had. We've had some calls on

1054
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,959
Speaker 3: the show too about you know, the big picture about

1055
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 3: their division championship and all that. You guys, you know

1056
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 3: you're thinking about the Rams and what tell us about

1057
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 3: what your thoughts are about the Rams and their defense.

1058
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 17: Yeah. I think that the Rams and their defense, they

1059
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 17: have a solid defense, you know, not as solid as

1060
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 17: when Aaron Donald was there, but they still drafted some guys.

1061
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 17: Fisk He's going to be in there and doing his thing,

1062
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 17: and so I think Joe and also Cromer have come

1063
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 17: up with a great run game and just an overall

1064
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 17: pass game as well to really dice them up and

1065
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 17: get them out of their comfort zone and kind of

1066
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 17: pull them into our deep waters that we like to

1067
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 17: sit in.

1068
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 2: Now, when you saw the schedule come out in May,

1069
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: you knew pretty early you're going to have to get

1070
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 2: yourself a bowload of tickets for this one, being from

1071
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 2: California exactly, this being the closest game to home on

1072
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 2: the schedule. So what are you looking at now? Are

1073
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 2: you over fifty or where are you?

1074
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 17: I think my fiance and I calculated last night. I

1075
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,720
Speaker 17: think we're at like thirty eight or forty.

1076
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, because her family's from out there.

1077
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 17: Her family, Yeah, her family lives right next to us.

1078
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 17: We're five minutes apart from each other, so they're they're

1079
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 17: all coming. It's gonna be a great time. Anderson and

1080
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 17: Santiago party. It's gonna be great.

1081
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: A lot of seventies in the stay.

1082
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, a lot of seventies. And then after when

1083
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 17: we win, it's gonna be even better.

1084
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go.

1085
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 2: Do you so looking at you know, the game last week?

1086
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 2: Like I'm I kind of there's times where I got

1087
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 2: to file the ball when I'm calling the game. So

1088
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: it's only so much attention I could pay to you

1089
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 2: guys on the line. But there was one in particular

1090
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 2: the Ray Davis touchdown. You're on the right side of

1091
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 2: that formation at the snap, and you just kind of

1092
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 2: sealed everything off to the point where it just seemed.

1093
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: It was Ray against the dB.

1094
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 2: It was like a one on one situation with all

1095
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 2: kinds of open land for him to exploit. What I mean,

1096
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: you just closed that whole thing off, like you look

1097
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 2: like a wall on that play.

1098
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 17: A one on one is like none, no, none. So

1099
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 17: for Ray to have that much space and time with

1100
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,959
Speaker 17: a corner in the hole, We'll take that every day.

1101
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 17: And for me, it's I don't know, I don't know

1102
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 17: really what to say, but it's yeah, it's amazing.

1103
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 2: And what can you say about about Mac Collins. He

1104
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 2: just and he signed here. He just seemed like a

1105
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 2: glue guy. You know those guys in your blocker room

1106
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 2: that are like glue. He seems like the ultimate glue guy.

1107
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 17: And he fits in not to just appease people and

1108
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 17: be like, oh, like I'm one of the guys. Now

1109
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 17: he's himself. And everybody sees that he showed up in

1110
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 17: a scientist costume to the game barefoot, like that's that's him.

1111
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 17: But I think he just brings energy and put it

1112
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 17: on his back and uh, just is amazing, great human

1113
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 17: being as well, very genuine h. I love playing next

1114
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 17: to him, blocking with him. It's awesome.

1115
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get to that in one second.

1116
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 2: Coach Coach McDermott said that he enjoys your your energy

1117
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: on the sidelines during the game and he called your

1118
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 2: he called your language colorful, which I'm sure it is

1119
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 2: because I've heard it sometimes on the practice field as

1120
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 2: well at training camp.

1121
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: Is there but you seem like a soft spoken guy

1122
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: off the field.

1123
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 2: So is there a switch that gets flipped when it's

1124
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 2: game time for you?

1125
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,720
Speaker 17: Yes, And it's the thing that every you know, football

1126
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 17: player has said since the beginning of time, Like you

1127
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 17: step in between those white lines and you just flip

1128
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 17: the switch. You get ready. And for me, I just

1129
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 17: I love it. It's great. It's a great time, you know,

1130
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 17: past two years seeing the guys in front of me

1131
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 17: do it like dang, that looks so fun. That looks

1132
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 17: like a great time. And then now running onto the

1133
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 17: field with the buffalo Buffalo, and then also just being

1134
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 17: out there and being to be my physical self is

1135
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 17: tremendous as well. Like I love that.

1136
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 2: And just for the record, the ALEC Anderson Fan Club

1137
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 2: was started in this studio because Steve will vouch for this.

1138
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 2: At training camp when you came in as an undrafted rookie,

1139
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 2: like we study the draft enough to know even the

1140
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 2: guys that maybe don't get picked in rounds one through seven.

1141
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: And you're playing right tackle at U c l A right,

1142
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,439
Speaker 2: and like we were, we're watching him in camp.

1143
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 16: What do we say.

1144
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:19,240
Speaker 1: We liked his feet right.

1145
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna he's gonna stick, we thought right out

Speaker 3: of the gate, and uh, well here we are.

1147
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: We were we were kind of proud of ourselves.

1148
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 17: Physical story line that is a true story.

1149
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 3: That is a true story. We saw you take one

1150
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 3: on one reps your rookie year and we were like, guys,

1151
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:39,440

1152
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 17: Thanks guys.

1153
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 2: Uh So, here is the question that comes for this

1154
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 2: week's tim Bits time Out, presented of course by Tim

1155
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: Horton's where we solicit the fans to ask Bill's players

1156
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 2: a unique question. So this question comes from Jacob. It says, Alec,

1157
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 2: do you want to run routes? What is your go

1158
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: to routes? So people are people are getting creative here

1159
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:01,760
Speaker 2: with this role of yours.

1160
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: What do you say to that.

1161
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 7: His name is Jacob. Jacob.

1162
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 17: Yes, well Jacob, I think that's a great question, and

1163
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 17: I think you need to send this to Joe Brady.

1164
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 17: But I would love to run the route. I think

1165
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 17: if I got to run a route, I'd want to

1166
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 17: do like.

1167
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: A fade or just got some verticle to you there.

1168
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 17: Not even that. I just want to just whip the

1169
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 17: ball off somebody's head and I want to stand over

1170
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 17: something and just like that happened to you, sorry, son, like.

1171
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 7: Live with that.

1172
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 2: Just don't do it too belligerently or you get a

1173
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 2: flag as we know, well we know how that goes.

1174
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 7: Right.

1175
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: What did you did you play?

1176
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: Touchdown? Take the penalty?

1177
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 5: Oh?

1178
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 4: I will?

1179
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: What other?

1180
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: Did you play any of the so called skill positions

1181
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 2: as a younger football player?

1182
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 17: You know, there was once a time, Yeah that I

1183
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 17: was I was skinny, and so I didn't play offensive line.

1184
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 17: I played linebacker with my brother. And then my first

1185
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 17: year playing football, I was actually a quarterback. Okay, yeah,

1186
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 17: I played that for one season and then I told

1187
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 17: him that I liked hitting people more than throwing the ball,

1188
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 17: because i'd throw the ball, I would just throw it

1189
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 17: and run down and just try to hit somebody right

1190
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 17: after I threw the ball, and so they're like, all right,

1191
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 17: we're gonna switch you up to linebacker. And so I

1192
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 17: did that with my brother and then went into high

1193
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 17: school and offensive line is where I made my uh

1194
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 17: made my claim.

1195
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: And it worked out.

1196
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 2: So there it is, Alex, thanks for spending the time.

1197
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: It's good to have you here in the studio.

1198
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 17: It was awesome.

1199
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 2: We have to pivot now to the post practice podium

1200
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 2: where Josh Allen is addressing the media.

1201
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 13: Josh with Josh obviously a big news that Michael Height

1202
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 13: of that. What does that mean for you in this

1203
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 13: football team?

1204
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 16: Well, for me personally, he's one of my favorite humans

1205
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 16: of all time, So to have him in the building

1206
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 16: is awesome. Someone that you can talk to about not

1207
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 16: just football things, but life things. He's an honest guy,

1208
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 16: he's a smart guy, and uh, you know, just having

1209
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 16: that type of person and that knowledge in our locker

1210
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 16: room has to pay benefits to us. So obviously he's

1211
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 16: very familiar with what we what we do on defense,

1212
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 16: and yeah, just a great guy to have when you

1213
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 16: walk Uh. He he had texted me the other day,

1214
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 16: so I got to walk in yesterday on Tuesday, and

1215
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 16: go give him a big old hug. So it was

1216
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 16: good to see him.

1217
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 10: Sean had told us he's so intentional about who he was,

1218
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 10: great hand at this time of the year, just given

1219
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 10: you know.

1220
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 9: He's already kind of hold on on that that's up

1221
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 9: that identity too much.

1222
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: What is it about like this leadership, you know.

1223
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 9: Leaveing on post sides of the ball, that's gonna allow

1224
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 9: whatever this.

1225
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 16: Whole wid Yeah, I mean I think he understands, you know,

1226
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 16: why he was brought here, you know, whether that's playing

1227
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 16: a little bit, a lot of bit, or just being

1228
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 16: a resource for guys and a source of knowledge. And

1229
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 16: I think that's really cool, you know. And again just uh,

1230
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 16: the genuineness that he has, you know, you don't find

1231
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 16: that too often with with anybody anymore. And he's a

1232
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 16: he's a special cat.

1233
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 7: Gosh.

1234
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 8: How do you shorting the attention aside from the snow

1235
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 8: Angels and the AFC Chainchampionship East Championship bats and all

1236
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 8: that stuff, to refocus on the next goal?

1237
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean I think again it's it's the same

1238
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 16: thing that we've done each and every week, and that's

1239
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 16: our our commitment to preparing the best that we can

1240
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 16: prepare and putting our best foot forward every time we

1241
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 16: step on that football field.

1242
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 7: And it's no.

1243
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 16: Different this week than it was last week. We're just

1244
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 16: again we're having fun doing what we do. At the

1245
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,479
Speaker 16: same time, we're very intentional about what we're doing. And

1246
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,919
Speaker 16: it's the same want to know each and every week

1247
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 16: mindset that we've had throughout the season, and that's what

1248
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,439
Speaker 16: we're going to continue to have. We understand we're going

1249
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,439
Speaker 16: all the way across the country to a team that's

1250
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 16: very hungry. They've been playing really good football as of late.

1251
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 16: Their defensive line is one of the better units. You'll see.

1252
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 16: They got a lot of dogs up front. I know

1253
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 16: they're young up there, but some really really good players,

1254
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 16: some studs over there on their defensive side of the ball.

1255
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 16: So and then you got one of the best quarterbacks

1256
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 16: to in my opinion, play play the game of football

1257
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 16: on Matt. So we got to be ready to go

1258
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 16: and ready for whatever they can throw at us.

1259
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 8: Kind of not dulgous for repeat one week at a time.

1260
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 16: Thin, No, not not really, you know, coach coach we

1261
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 16: Demoin talks about the process a lot, and we genuinely

1262
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 16: we love the process here. We love going through and

1263
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 16: you know, we're not going through the motions. We're we're

1264
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 16: getting in, We're and I got to talk with Joe

1265
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 16: yesterday Monday and Tuesday. Obviously we were off on Monday,

1266
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 16: off on Tuesday. But the amount of guys that come

1267
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 16: in on Monday and Tuesday is by far and away

1268
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 16: the most I've seen since I've been here. Guys that

1269
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 16: just love being around the building, love being around each other.

1270
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 16: And I again, I think that's part of the reason

1271
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 16: why we've been having the success that we've had. Guys

1272
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 16: are bought in.

1273
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 3: What probably you take and be in the person where

1274
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 3: that kind of helps.

1275
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: Second talk, making sure everybody kind of wants to be

1276
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: around I'm sure it was.

1277
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, I take a lot of pride. And then I

1278
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 16: think that's again I just try to convey the happiness

1279
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 16: and love of the game that I have to my

1280
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 16: teammates and get to show them how much fun it

1281
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 16: is to be here in Buffalo. And and again, at

1282
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 16: times Buffalo gets a bad rep for the snow and

1283
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 16: the cold, and but again like we've got a lot

1284
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 16: of things here in this building and facility that aren't

1285
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 16: tangible other places. And that's again the proximity of being

1286
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 16: close to the facility, the type of men that we

1287
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 16: bring in this locker room, and the camaraderie that we

1288
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 16: have cause.

1289
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 12: You're rushing touchdown on Sunday, that's set history. You gave

1290
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 12: that ball away to Kiddan oregonfore I spoke to this morning.

1291
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 12: He wants to give you that ball back, but you

1292
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 12: want it back as part of history.

1293
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 16: I mean, I probably not. I gave it away for

1294
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 16: a reason, so I think that's that was meant to be.

1295
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 16: But I've got enough game balls and gain memorabilia that stuff.

1296
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 16: I just honestly I put it away. I don't really

1297
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 16: ever see it, and it's not super meaningful to me.

1298
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 16: So they can. I hope whoever has it enjoys it

1299
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 16: and they can keep it.

1300
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 8: God with respect to the fact that this is a

1301
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 8: team game, do you feel like this season represents your

1302
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 8: best football?

1303
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 16: I think so. Again, just the commitment that I've I've

1304
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 16: made to understanding what we're doing on offense, making sure

1305
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 16: that I'm making the right decisions. Obviously, coming into the season,

1306
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 16: I really wanted to limit the turnovers and we've done

1307
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 16: a good job with that, but still got to continue

1308
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 16: to work on that and find ways to make the

1309
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 16: best decisions possible. But again, I'm just trying to be

1310
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 16: each and every play the best quarterback that I can be.

1311
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 16: And just the mindset that maybe I've adopted this year,

1312
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 16: and that's thanks to Joe Brady and the staff that

1313
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 16: we've got. And again, I think it it it helps

1314
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 16: having the guys that we have in this locker room

1315
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 16: where you have a lot of trust in what you're

1316
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 16: doing and you don't have to try to do too much.

1317
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 12: Gosh, with mitche no longer here, Connor McGovern referred to

1318
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 12: David Edwards as to do kind of dad figure in

1319
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 12: that offensive line group.

1320
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 3: Have you seen that from him?

1321
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 12: And you know, just how has he been able to

1322
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 12: transition into the starting line up seemingly so seamlessly.

1323
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, Dave, I would probably agree with Connor.

1324
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 16: You know, he's just got this very calm nature to

1325
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 16: him where nothing's nothing's ever too big or too small,

1326
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 16: nothing's ever too great or too bad. He's very very

1327
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 16: calm and collected. Again, another guy that you can talk

1328
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 16: about not just football but life things. And again I

1329
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 16: think just his experience of being around the league, his

1330
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 16: mentality stepping into the world that he's done. He's done

1331
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 16: a phenomenal job this year. But even going back to

1332
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 16: the last year, I think he was one of those

1333
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 16: guys in the locker room that, again you just trusted

1334
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 16: and you could feel how much he cares about what

1335
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 16: he does. And you know, he was our our jumbo

1336
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 16: tied end which is Alec this year and and wasn't

1337
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 16: asked to be a huge part of our offense, but

1338
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 16: we've asked him this year. He stepped up and he's

1339
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 16: he's been playing great football.

1340
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 9: Talk about the playing with joy and the team enjoying that.

1341
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 9: And I know there's the twenty four hour rules and

1342
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 9: you win and you put it aside, but is this

1343
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 9: team they all seem to be able to enjoy themselves

1344
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 9: and then put it aside in a natural way, Like

1345
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,439
Speaker 9: do you trust that this team has that vibe where

1346
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 9: you can have fun, enjoy the game, enjoy the wins

1347
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 9: and get right back to work. They have you all

1348
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 9: earned that right to be able to do that and

1349
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 9: do it in the right way to go forward?

1350
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 16: Oh, I think you have to earn it every week.

1351
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 16: I think the preparation that you put into it, you know,

1352
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 16: and it's not always I need to sit here for

1353
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 16: five hours and watch every single play a film that

1354
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 16: they have. It's it's let me understand my assignment, let

1355
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 16: me understand what the defense is trying to do, and

1356
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 16: then come out here and execute and work on the fundamentals.

1357
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 16: And I think coach mc dermott does such a good

1358
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 16: job and in terms of preaching how important fundamentals are,

1359
01:05:56,320 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 16: especially late in the season. And our guys are constantly

1360
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 16: on the jugs, are constantly on the field before and

1361
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 16: after practice when nobody's in the building, they're taking care

1362
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 16: of their business. And I think that's that's what helps

1363
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 16: us maybe be a little looser in and have a

1364
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 16: little bit more fun and joy because our guys know

1365
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 16: that they've prepared the right way.

1366
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 10: Your number of rushing a kindas is down a little

1367
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 10: bit in the last few years. Look at big plays

1368
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,439
Speaker 10: rushing are still just as many. How do you think

1369
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 10: you're the way you use your legs as a volve

1370
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 10: now that you're in your eight years.

1371
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 16: Again, I just trust in my feet. I'm I want

1372
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 16: to throw the ball. I want to let our guys

1373
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 16: who we paid to catch it and score touchdowns go

1374
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 16: catch and score touchdowns. Right, And I wanna let the

1375
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 16: guys that that we pay to run the ball go

1376
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 16: run the ball. And I think we've done a great

1377
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 16: job of utilizing our running backs in the run game,

1378
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 16: man in the pass game, where we really haven't had

1379
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 16: to dive too much into the quarterback run game. But

1380
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 16: obviously when opportunities to present themselves in the passing game

1381
01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 16: and there's rushing lanes available, sometimes it's necessary to take

1382
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 16: him to have a successful play. And that's again, all

1383
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 16: I'm trying to do is execute the every player to

1384
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 16: the best of my ability, and sometimes it calls for that.

1385
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 8: How long did it take you to accept that? To

1386
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 8: get it, you know, to to not figure it out,

1387
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 8: but just to acknowledge that part of the game, that

1388
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 8: letting the guy, I mean, it's always probably been your goal,

1389
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 8: but just to take that step back and say, I

1390
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 8: trust those guys.

1391
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, I think it's still evolving, but again,

1392
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 16: I think if you just bring it back to the

1393
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 16: type of work ethic that our guys have continued to

1394
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,919
Speaker 16: show throughout the year, you can't help but trust them.

1395
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 16: And I got a lot of trusting the guys in

1396
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 16: our locker room. Often's defense special team included, so.

1397
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, kind of show more of his personality this season,

1398
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 8: like the snow Angels on Sunday another example.

1399
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 7: Have you were also picked up on that?

1400
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 16: And then what because I kind of done.

1401
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 9: Be for this this team. Has there been any impact.

1402
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 16: Yeah, he's implemented Friday dad jokes in the meetings as well.

1403
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 16: They're very classy, very very own brand for coach McDermott.

1404
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:07,919
Speaker 16: You'll have to ask him about it sometimes, but yeah,

1405
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 16: again he he's always preached BEU with us here and

1406
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 16: let your personality show. And I think this year he's

1407
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 16: taken a more I guess physical way of showing it

1408
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 16: him him allowing to be a little looser. And again

1409
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 16: I think that that comes with trusting your team and

1410
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 16: seeing how again how hard these guys have continued to

1411
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 16: work throughout the season, and you know, he's had a

1412
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 16: good spot. But again, every every day we're still trying

1413
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 16: trying to get better.

1414
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 8: Your favorite what's your biggest growinger.

1415
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 16: Putting every Friday? Do they lose anything? I mean, they're

1416
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 16: dad joke. I'm I'm a big dad joke fan, So

1417
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 16: for me, I I get it, I understand it, but

1418
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 16: I think, yeah, it could wear off a little bit.

1419
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 16: But they're good.

1420
01:08:56,360 --> 01:09:01,640
Speaker 9: Stats here at.

1421
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,440
Speaker 11: The touchdown less than two seconds went from.

1422
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 9: Nine point seven miles hour to sixteen sixty out over

1423
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 9: like advances after.

1424
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,680
Speaker 16: Is that good though? I don't know.

1425
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 10: I think that's great.

1426
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 16: We got the ball in the end zone. That's good

1427
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 16: for me.

1428
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 8: Figured out how you scored twice on one play.

1429
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 16: No, but don't ask questions.

1430
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 7: It's crazy.

1431
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 11: Alec Anderson Sean was asked about Alex today to describe.

1432
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: He just shook his head so cold.

1433
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 7: You describe Alec Anderson.

1434
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 16: I don't think Alex could describe Alec.

1435
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 7: Uh.

1436
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 16: He's one of a kind. He's he's awesome when you

1437
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 16: when he's on the field, you know it, so you

1438
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 16: can hear him. He's finding an edge on every single play.

1439
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 16: And he's been great to have in our locker room,

1440
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 16: in that old line room, and you know that when

1441
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 16: he's on the field, he's gonna have your back.

1442
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 10: He was like he was kind of hesty before he

1443
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 10: had that rottle this year, Like, how have you just

1444
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 10: seen him always be prepared for us?

1445
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm again type of man man that he is.

1446
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 16: He's a hard worker, he loves his teammates. When he's

1447
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 16: on the field, he wants to show down.

1448
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: All right.

1449
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 2: So that's Bill's quarterback, Josh Allen Alec Anderson getting a

1450
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 2: lot of run this week, getting a lot of run.

1451
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 2: Coach McDermott asked about him. Josh asked about him. He's

1452
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 2: here in studio with us on one Bill's Live. Yeah,

1453
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 2: jumbo man, he's he's he's guys.

1454
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 1: He's made his.

1455
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 3: Mark, yes he has. And he's one of those guys too.

1456
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 3: You think about how he's developed. We saw him in

1457
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 3: training camp. We were joking with him about us, you know,

1458
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 3: calling it three years ago. It was two years ago,

1459
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 3: two full training camps ago, and like first week of

1460
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 3: that first training camp when he was a rookie, were like, yeah,

1461
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 3: he's pretty good because he played tackle at UCLA, so

1462
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 3: it wasn't like he was unfamiliar, and you know, he

1463
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 3: just hung around, hung around. And now this year he's

1464
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 3: on the field. He's had over one hundred snaps as

1465
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 3: a sixth offensive lineman. Shows you know he's in one

1466
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 3: of those he's in one of those athletic offensive line.

1467
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 3: Like you said, he was started out as the quarter

1468
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 3: He's one of those tall, thin guys who put on

1469
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 3: weight a llah. You know Eric wood kind of guys,

1470
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 3: and he's just you know, you got to be a

1471
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 3: smart guy to be able to do that. You know,

1472
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 3: they got to trust you with some stuff. It's not

1473
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 3: just lining up and talking to the guy next year.

1474
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 3: You got to listen to the quarterback. You got to

1475
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 3: make some shifts, some motions, you got to get up

1476
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 3: into the second level. You got to do some free

1477
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,719
Speaker 3: wheeling athleticism out there. And he's done it really well.

1478
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 3: We were going through the numbers today on what the

1479
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 3: offensive the extra offensive lineman means for Buffalo's offense. They're

1480
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 3: one and two in the league in every category when

1481
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 3: when they use that person. Now, nobody else uses it

1482
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 3: to the extent or to the effectiveness of the Bills do,

1483
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 3: and it's by a wide margin.

1484
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's a big reason why they're

1485
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:58,799
Speaker 2: running the ball effectively even in the red zone, because

1486
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:04,560
Speaker 2: down there it's hard to run. Everything's just more confined.

1487
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 2: There's less of the field for the back seven to

1488
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 2: cover because you're in close to scoring territory.

1489
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: And in the red zone.

1490
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 2: So far this season, they're fourth in the league and

1491
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 2: yards per carry average in the red zone, third in

1492
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:22,879
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns in the red zone with eighteen in twelve games.

1493
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 2: They're second in the NFL with rushing first downs in

1494
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 2: the red zone. They're first in first downs per carry

1495
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 2: in the red zone. They're doing that forty three percent

1496
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 2: of the time down there. That's an insane number.

1497
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 3: I mentioned this once in a while. I don't know

1498
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 3: if people catch the gravity of it when they run

1499
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 3: the football, when the other team knows they're going to

1500
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 3: run the football and they can do it successfully, what

1501
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 3: that does It forces a defensive coordinator's hand. He got

1502
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,480
Speaker 3: to do something different. Now, he's got to like overcome,

1503
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 3: He's got to do more than what he thought he

1504
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 3: needed to do to stop that. So it opens things up.

1505
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:58,719
Speaker 3: When you over commit to stop one thing in an offense,

1506
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 3: you're susceptible something else in the offense. And that's what

1507
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 3: the Bills have thrived on.

1508
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's why we started to see play action

1509
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 2: work so effectively. Off the jumbo package. They'll bring Alec

1510
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 2: Anderson on and then Josh is under center. Everybody on

1511
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 2: the other side of the ball is going, all right,

1512
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,640
Speaker 2: let's bear up here. We're gonna get the run coming out,

1513
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, he pulls it out

1514
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 2: and he's throwing.

1515
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 3: Over your head. Yeah, they can't. They can't take it

1516
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 3: for granted that they can stop the run and that's

1517
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,759
Speaker 3: that's a huge boost for the Bills offense.

1518
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to take a break here, but when

1519
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 2: we come back, some post practice podium sound you're not

Speaker 2: who was just signed to the practice squad today. He's

1537
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 2: a guy you probably know already.

1538
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 1: His name is Micah Hyde. Let's go there.

1539
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 7: Now, how tough of the decision was, This wasn't tough.

1540
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 7: I mean it was obviously this place is home to us.

1541
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 7: You know, everyone's saying welcome back, it's more like welcome home.

1542
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 7: Buffalo's home for us. You know, my wife she could,

1543
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 7: if she could live here year round, she probably would.

1544
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 7: She's a San Diegogo growing up. Kids love it here.

1545
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 7: My whole family from Ohio and Detroit had this way

1546
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 7: all the time. So you know, Buffalo is home. So

1547
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 7: in that sense, it was an easy decision. But at

1548
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 7: the same time, being out in being out in San

1549
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 7: Diego for the first time, uh, during the football season

1550
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 7: and and working out, and you know, I was helping

1551
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 7: coach soccer on MJ's soccer team and taking you know, uh,

1552
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 7: taking the kids all over and and you know, doing

1553
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 7: all the type of stuff. If but ultimately it was

1554
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 7: a no brainer to add it back here.

1555
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 17: What wasn't like cleaned out?

1556
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 7: I guess not. They're still junking there there still there still, Uh,

1557
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 7: some of it is mind junk, a lot of it

1558
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 7: is stolen tearing. Probably was the guy that ran through

1559
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 7: there and got all my stuff, that d Ham got

1560
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 7: some of my stuff. You're probably see him wearing it

1561
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 7: around have to snatch it back, but uh yeah, my

1562
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 7: locker was still there, and you know it was an

1563
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 7: easy plug it in play.

1564
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 18: Just through how the conversations winning.

1565
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 8: Watching all that snowfall on Sunday, give you any second.

1566
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 7: Prive, No, no, no. I mean, you know, obviously the

1567
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,720
Speaker 7: snow is it could be brutal, it could be tough

1568
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 7: to get through and all that. But you know, I

1569
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 7: grew up in my entire life, been here for seven years,

1570
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 7: so I mean it really wasn't it wasn't too insane

1571
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 7: for us.

1572
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 18: Take us through how the conversations went between you and

1573
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 18: the team beginning with your free agency, kind of throughout

1574
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:27,719
Speaker 18: the season, and how things materialized leading up to this point.

1575
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 7: You know, I just think it was a mutual understanding.

1576
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:31,720
Speaker 7: You know, the way last year ended and the you

1577
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 7: know kind of the injury's sake and and all that.

1578
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 7: You know, in and on the lineup, it was it

1579
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 7: was tough everybody. You guys all know that, and so

1580
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 7: finishing up last year is just you know, my contract

1581
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 7: was up, so you know, I I felt like it

1582
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 7: was best to just get out to to you know,

1583
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 7: back back home in San Diego and just get healthy mentally, physically, whatever,

1584
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 7: and and so I you know, never really heard anything

1585
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 7: from from uh from being and so it was, you know,

1586
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 7: some kind of coversation as far as like how you

1587
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 7: doing this that, you know, that type of thing, but

1588
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 7: it was never like, hey, when you coming back, what

1589
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 7: do you want to do that type of thing, and

1590
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 7: so that didn't really you know, materialize until just recent

1591
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 7: and so when that conversation was was had, you know,

1592
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 7: obviously we were very excited, but at the same time,

1593
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 7: you know, we went from being very excited to like, wait,

1594
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 7: there's a lot of stuff you got to do to

1595
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 7: get you know, the kids and and everything and order,

1596
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 7: you know, kids are in school and that type of stuff.

1597
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 7: But then we go back to being super excited. Then

1598
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 7: we go back to being overwhelmed. So it was like

1599
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 7: that for a good three days. But ultimately, once we

1600
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 7: made the decision to head back this way, walking into

1601
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 7: this building and seeing everybody, seeing all the players, seeing

1602
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,559

1603
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 7: year has progressed, and seeing how successful this team is,

1604
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 7: I I, you know, also I just want to come

1605
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:51,600
Speaker 7: back and do anything I can do to help you

1606
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 7: know whether if it's helping young guys understand you know,

1607
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 7: the NFL on and off the field, older guys helping them,

1608
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 7: you know, with with what they gotta do on the field,

1609

Speaker 7: and you know, it's a new role for me, and

1612
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:15,879
Speaker 7: and you know I'm ready to uh excell on that one.

1613
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 7: I have to say. I texted Big Phil. I texted

1614
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 7: Big Phil when he when he got signed here, and

1615
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 7: I said, Big Phil, I love you, man, congrats, I'm

1618
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:38,280

1622
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 7: He I'm not paying him three percent. He's not my agent,

1623
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 7: but he's the one that kind of got the ball

1624
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 7: rolling and and said something to being obviously being already

1625
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 7: had a plan himself to to to reach out. So

1627
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 7: for this organization, and so this is just icing on

1628
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:05,839
Speaker 7: the cake. I was honored and I feel like for

1629
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 7: for me to come in practice squad and it helped,

1630

1633
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 7: and it just it just made sense have a very

1634
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 7: supportive family. I don't know the exact day I know

1635
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:27,600
Speaker 7: that I was. It went back and forth for a

1636
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 7: couple of days. It was some time over probably last

1637
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 7: last week's game. I think probably last I mean last

1638
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 7: week was when we were kind of picking and choosing

1639
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 7: if we were going to head back and then finally

1640
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 7: made that decision. So I don't know exactly what day.

1641
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 7: I knows building up to the forty nine ers game

1642
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 7: because I wasn't gonna be able to be here for

1643
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 7: that game. But uh, yeah, sometime last week.

1644
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 13: You have a really supportive family, was it always, let's say,

1645
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,679
Speaker 13: for the last several months, Hey, Dad and Michael, whatever

1646
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 13: you want to do, was it, Hey, we'd love to

1647
01:19:58,760 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 13: see you back.

1648
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:00,919
Speaker 3: What was it like in that dynamic?

1649
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 7: I think ultimately my family. They've always wanted to be

1650
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 7: back in Buffalo. They love it here. Like I said,

1651
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 7: it's home for us. So everyone was extremely supportive of

1652
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 7: what I had to do. My wife is, you know,

1653
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 7: overly supportive. She looked at me after after I got

1654
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 7: the phone with being and it was like, look like, this

1655
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 7: is this is on you. This is your career, this

1656
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 7: is your dream. You know, obviously you're taking on a

1657
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 7: different role, but ultimately the the dream has always been.

1658
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 7: The goal has always been to bring a championship back

1659
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 7: to Buffalo. And if I can help, like I said,

1660
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 7: any any way, if I'm able to give t Rapper

1661
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:40,640
Speaker 7: d Ham or whoever's out there a nugget to make

1662
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 7: a big play and a big game, I did my job.

1663
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 7: And so that's the way I see it. And and

1664
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 7: you know, everybody was extremely supportive of whatever decision I

1665
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 7: was going to make because honestly, it was a win win,

1666
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:53,560
Speaker 7: you know, I was. I was loving the routine we

1667
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 7: had with the kids out in San Diego, but also

1668
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 7: coming back here is a blessing. So that's what I

1669
01:20:58,439 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 7: could have.

1670
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,679
Speaker 13: You said for the beginning, it was Buffalo or nowhere, Yes,

1671
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 13: you know, true to your word.

1672
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:03,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to be specific.

1673
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 1: Were there other teams that acquire There was some.

1674
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 7: There was you know, asking questions, asking about agent and

1675
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 7: asking my agent stuff like that. Yeah, but like I said,

1676
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 7: it was I was only coming here and that was

1677
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:17,839
Speaker 7: I'm so happy that that I even said that, because

1678
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 7: you know, not like I was going to go anywhere else,

1679
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:23,679
Speaker 7: but you know, this place is home. And then walking

1680
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 7: back into this building, the excitement that I I would

1681
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 7: have seen people and and also the excitement that they

1682

1684
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:35,200

1685
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 2: Like, what were you like watching Bills games this show?

1691
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,080

01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 7: five o'clock, so the kids aren't sleeping like they used to.

1696
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 7: Be in the past here, so you know, they'd be

1697
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 7: running around the house and I'd be tuning into every

1698
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 7: game and it's kind of hard on the TV copy

1699
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 7: to see exactly what defense and stuff like that that

1700
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 7: we were running and and you know the big picture.

1701
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 7: But you know I was. I was a fan just

1702
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 7: like everybody else. You know, my whole family wearing Bill's gear,

1703
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 7: had the kids dressed up in Bill's gear, and you know,

1704
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 7: just forever a fan. So to be able to get

1705
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 7: that call and come back and you know, see what

1706
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 7: I can do to help was it was awesome.

1707
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 9: Warning with the reaction to this announcement has been crazy.

1708
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 10: I saw one tweet from a fan like I'm gonna

1709
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:40,720
Speaker 10: be watching.

1710
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:44,520
Speaker 2: The interception against the Patriots and this three sixty.

1711
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 3: All day long.

1712
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is it like to have that connection with

1713
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 2: this city and this family.

1714
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 7: It's special, especial. I mean, that's why we continue to

1715
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,759
Speaker 7: do things and not away from football, you know, continue

1716
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 7: to do things in this community and and give back

1717
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 7: because this is a place that's that's always showed love

1718
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 7: to us. And I said to you guys many times,

1719
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 7: and Buffalo is is to me a Midwest city. I know,

1720
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 7: it's in New York, but it's it's just like where

1721
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 7: I'm from in Fallster, Ohio, and just like you know,

1722
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 7: Iowa and just like Green bell Is. It's all you know,

1723
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 7: small town feel and just people are homegrown and stuff.

1724
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 7: So we've always connected with this place. And to see

1725
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 7: the reaction that that people people have with with us

1726
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 7: signing back here is is true that may and I

1727
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 7: think it's an indication to to you know, how you know,

1728
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 7: our family, my family and the foundation everything has given

1729
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 7: back to this community and will continue to do that.

1730
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 12: The stake picture if you want to come a Super Bowl,

1731
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,559
Speaker 12: But do you have an individual goal for your role

1732
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 12: right now.

1733
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 10: Or how do you approach if you said.

1734
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 9: This, it's a different goal.

1735
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 7: I am taking it day by day and I think

1736
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 7: that's a special thing. And that's the cool thing about

1737
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 7: this this new role is I I can take it

1738
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 7: day by day. I don't have to have a a

1739
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,080
Speaker 7: goal to be out there on Sunday this week, you know,

1740
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 7: this weekend or next weekend or whatever they be. I'm

1741
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 7: taking it day by day. Today I ran the little

1742
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 7: Scout team running back, Haven't you know? I was on

1743
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 7: Scout team special teams and haven't done that since Green

1744
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 7: Bay Day, So listen, I'm here to help. You know,

1745
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 7: I left my left my ego in San Diego. It's

1746
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 7: it's I'm like I said, the goal has always been

1747
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 7: to bring a championship back here, and and that's always

1748
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 7: going to be the goal until that happens, you guys

1749
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 7: probably gonna be tired of me because after this season

1750
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 7: and I truly retire, you know, maybe you might see

1751
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 7: me doing something else here until we get a championship.

1752
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 7: So you know, that's what it is, like.

1753
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 9: Did you have your role is right now is practice,

1754
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 9: spud and mentoring and doing all that, but at some

1755
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 9: point you might very well be needed to play more

1756
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,640
Speaker 9: whatever it is. I assume you have the confidence that

1757
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 9: you can step back.

1758
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 2: In and need it.

1759
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 7: Right, I'm going to do everything I can every single

1760
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 7: day to obviously put myself in position to work out

1761
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 7: and to be in the I'm in all the meetings

1762
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 7: and watching film. So I'm already doing all that and honestly,

1763
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 7: you know, getting the uh getting the game plan you

1764
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,600
Speaker 7: know for this game. I you know, opened it up

1765
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 7: and I looked at it and I was like, oh, like, yeah,

1766
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,560
Speaker 7: I just put me right back in to where I

1767
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 7: have been, you know, the last seven years, like the

1768
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 7: play calls and all this type of stuff, and I'm

1769
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 7: making all these adjustments in my head and stuff, and

1770
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 7: I'm like wow, like you know, it's it's it's good

1771
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 7: to have, you know, familiar coaches, familiar teammates and stuff

1772
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 7: like that, and so and like I said, just taking

1773
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 7: it one day at a time, see what happens.

1774
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: All right.

1775
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 2: So that's Micah Hyde back in the building and a

1776
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 2: member of the Bills practice squad signing today, and it's

1777
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 2: pretty clear that our hunches were accurate. He is going

1778
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 2: to serve as a mentor for young players, like a

1779
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 2: Cole Bishop for example, really kind of teach him the

1780
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 2: nuances of the defense and its system. And I think,

1781
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 2: you know, if, like we said, if there's a five

1782
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 2: o arm emergency and they have a rash of injuries

1783
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 2: at the position down the stretch here, well then maybe

1784
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 2: there's a different conversation that's hat.

1785
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,759
Speaker 3: Well. Yeah, plus it's going to be you know, hopefully

1786
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 3: it's going to be later on and in the regular

1787
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 3: season and then those guys get healthy for the playoffs.

1788
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, think about how different it would be to

1789
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:19,719
Speaker 3: have a guy like Michaeh hide. If you're cold bishop

1790
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 3: standing there and Mike is walking you through what they're

1791
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 3: doing on the field and giving you checks and all

1792
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 3: of that stuff in real time, it's got to just

1793
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 3: expand your confidence in what you've already learned. So it's yeah,

1794
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 3: it's it's definitely an insurance policy of a signing, and

1795
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 3: one you hope you don't need, but you're one. You're

1796
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 3: certainly happy the guy's there because he gives you some

1797
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 3: stuff off the field that you didn't have.

1798
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,640
Speaker 2: And on top of that, Josh called him one of

1799
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 2: the best humans he knows, just a superperson, and that's

1800
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 2: not a bad thing to have in your locker room

1801
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 2: as well, whether he's on the field playing sixty snaps

1802
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 2: or on the sideline giving guys some pointers.

1803
01:26:57,840 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here.

1804
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 2: One segment to go on a Wednesday edition a One

1805
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 2: Bill's Live presented by Colt of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1806
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 1: All right back here on One Bill's Live.

1807
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,919
Speaker 2: And just before we're done for the day, the Wednesday

1808
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 2: injury report has been released by the team for the Bills,

1809
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 2: and no real surprises here, but for the new additions

1810
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 2: to the injury report, namely Quinton Morris, Taylor Rap, and

1811
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel, who were all limited in terms of an

1812
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 2: estimation of what their participation would be in a full practice.

1813
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,559
Speaker 2: The injuries are as follows. Quentin Morris dealing with shoulder

1814
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 2: and groin injuries, Taylor Rap dealing with a neck and

1815
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 2: shoulder injury, and Curtis Samuel dealing with a foot injury.

1816
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 2: All three were limited in practice today. Also, it was

1817
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 2: key on Coleman and Dalton Kincaid. Now that's good news

1818
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 2: for Dalton kin k because he was a non participant

1819
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. So this is his first

1820
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 2: participation since he sustained the knee injury all the way

1821
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 2: back in Week eight against the Colts. So that is

1822
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 2: a positive development. Or week nine, Yeah, week nine against

1823
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 2: the Colts. That's a positive development for Kincaid. Hopefully, you know,

1824
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 2: he continues to make progress. I do want to see

1825
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:29,680
Speaker 2: Coleman get to full participation. I was hoping by the

1826
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:31,639
Speaker 2: end of this week to give him a shot to play.

1827
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:36,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's ongoing, and it's one of those injuries

1828
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 3: we've seen. We had like fifty thousand wrist injuries this

1829
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 3: year on this squad, and actually I think the most

1830
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 3: was six. It was up there, six guys.

1831
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:48,839
Speaker 1: Still got two guys on ir with risk injury.

1832
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 3: Miss time with hit, wrist injuries, and so Coleman, you know,

1833
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 3: and I've said it before, it's kind of okay when

1834
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:55,800
Speaker 3: you get that as a receiver, you can go out

1835
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:57,880
Speaker 3: and run, you can run routes and all that and

1836
01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:59,800
Speaker 3: not worry about getting reinjured. So he can stay and

1837
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 3: get a shape going forward. So when he comes back,

1838
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 3: it'll be a quicker acclamation period. So that's a plus.

1839
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 3: But we still have yet to see him do that.

1840
01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 2: We've seen tight end Zach Davison elevated from the practice

1841
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:14,799
Speaker 2: squad each of the last two games, and if Morris

1842
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 2: is down, you wonder if they elevate him again. Although

1843
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,719
Speaker 2: Morris is practicing on a limited basis, I would hope

1844
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 2: he could be good enough to be back in the

1845
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 2: lineup by the weekend, but we'll just have to keep

1846
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 2: our eyes on it. I miss Coleman in the lineup.

1847
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 2: He was just starting to do some exciting stuff.

1848
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 3: He's a weapon. He's a big, physical receiver. You like

1849
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:35,799
Speaker 3: those guys on your.

1850
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,800
Speaker 1: Team, Yeah, a little bit a little bit. They can

1851
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: do some things.

1852
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 2: And you know, the word on the RAMS is they

1853
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: can be had outside, and that's one of your bigger

1854
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 2: outside weapons next to Amari Cooper. So be interesting to

1855
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 2: see if Coleman can progress to a full participant by

1856
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 2: the end of the week.

1857
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 1: That's it for us.

1858
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 2: Today, I got Field, Yates, and the Hall of Famer

1859
01:29:54,320 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 2: Thurman Thomas. Tomorrow we'll see you one
