1 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field. 2 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even 4 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: in the strated beer of normalcy. Here we are Thursday, 5 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: and it is raining cats and dogs outside. Good lord, 6 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: is it a good day to be a Dutch? Oh 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: my god, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: one Bill's lot for sneaking in nine holes after work. 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: That ain't happening, not unless you have a pontoon boat. Yeah, 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: swing from the pontoon steam. It's hard to swing with 11 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: your life preserver. Yeah. So yeah. The players as a result, 12 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: have moved inside for practice today. We'll try to get 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: you an update as to the participation. I haven't noticed 14 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: a playlist playing at all. Usually we can hear the yeah, 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: the base pumping. That's right. I have heard nothing of 16 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: the sort. Perhaps the DJ's couldn't make it out today 17 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: in the monsoon. Maybe they didn't. Maybe their rent their 18 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: boat rental was lapsed. I'm telling you, man, we couldn't 19 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: find a paddle. Am I nuts? Like? Are we? It 20 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: feels like and I know after you get to October 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: it gets wet here. It's like the wet season. It 22 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: just seems to We've seemed to have a lot of rain. 23 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: I say the same thing every year. There are certain 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: times of the year where you go, Man, when did 25 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: I move to Seattle? Yeah, but that's what it feels like, 26 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: right or London or something. A lot of per sip 27 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: and probably some more on Sunday. Go figure another home 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: game for the Bills with rain in the forecast. Man, 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm sick to death of tailgating in the mud. You're 30 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: you're not lying sick to death. I mean I I 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: was thinking the other day. I said, I think I 32 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: brought my raincoat here every home game this year. Yeah, 33 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: every single It's been bad, even because even if it 34 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: wasn't raining, there was a chance of rain, and then 35 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: it's rained at some point during the day home game Sunday. 36 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: It's crazy. I've said this before publicly, and I keep 37 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: saying when I was on CBS, when I go out 38 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: and travel places and people, yeah, you're from Buffalo. Wow 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: the weather, And I always I always make fun of 40 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: the Buffalo, this our place here. I always make fun 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: of the weather here because you know, I like Buffalo 42 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: the way it is and if everybody felt about Buffalo 43 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: or knew about Buffalo what I know about it, there'd 44 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: be three million people here. And I don't want that. 45 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: That's fun. If you don't like it, you I just 46 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: tell people, say, where we are. I just make fun 47 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: of it, so even they think, even the people who 48 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: live here don't like it, so you stay away. You 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: come in for a game once in a while, and 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: then just stay because I like the town. I like 51 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: us where we are right now, so I continue to 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: make fun of it even though I love living here. 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: So yeah, today's one of those days when i'm you know, 54 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: when i'm a punchline, I feel like you gotta go 55 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: outside with a swim cap. It is not so. I 56 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: was sitting here before the show and we're if you 57 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: one of where our studio is, it's in the place 58 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: it used to be the Bill's store at the field House. 59 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: Right you're walking in those big doors going into the 60 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: front of the field House. We're right there to the 61 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: left and we're sitting here. It's kind of a you know, 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: it's got a flat roof. Yeah, it's like made a 63 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: tin or something because it's loud. Yeah, I've got like 64 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: Gremlin's on the roof with drumsticks. Sounded like I mean 65 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: it was loud. It's like do you talk about a 66 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: tin roof? Right, it's loud in here. I went outside 67 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: just to see what is How can it be read 68 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: in that hard? Cats and dogs? So yeah, so the 69 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: team is inside today. We did learn yesterday Matt Milano, 70 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: a new addition to the injury report with a shoulder injury. 71 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: Practiced in a red non contact jersey yesterday. We'll see 72 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: what the update is today on his status. Cole Beasley, 73 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: still working his way through a rib injury, was given 74 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: an extra day of rest yesterday, did not practice because 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: of it. But the biggest news of the day today 76 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: Steve and this is not a good one. Offensive tackle 77 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: Spencer Brown put on the COVID reserve list today at 78 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: eleven am. And while Jay Kumerou came off the COVID 79 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: list and that's great, Spencer Brown could be a key 80 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: absence on Sunday. So here is the situation because we 81 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: don't know Spencer Brown's vaccination status, much like we don't 82 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: know Star Latula's vaccination status. Star Latoula went on the 83 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: COVID reserve list Sunday, day of game obviously missed the 84 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Jets game. So here's how it works for Star Latula. 85 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: If Star Latula is vaccinated, he can return as soon 86 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: as he is symptom free and has two negative tests 87 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: within twenty four hours. That could obviously happen before this 88 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: Sunday's game. If, however, Star Latoula is unvaccinated, he's out 89 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: a minimum of ten days, which would also take him 90 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: out of consideration for this Sunday's game against the Colts. 91 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: So we don't because we don't know his vaccination status. 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: It could be either or, but if he's unvaccinated, he's 93 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: missing Sunday's game. No. If Zans or Butts, Spencer Brown's 94 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: in the same boat. His timetable, however, only began today, 95 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: So if Spencer Brown is vaccinated, he can return after 96 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: being symptom free and having two negative tests within twenty 97 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: four hours. That's another situation that could happen before Sunday 98 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: if he's vaccinated. If he's unvaccinated, however, he is out 99 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: a minimum of ten days, which would mean he misses 100 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: Sunday's game, and he would also miss the Thanksgiving Day 101 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: game against the Saints ouch ouch well. And for today, 102 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean Spencer Brown now's out. That's what I said. Yeah, 103 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: that's Spencer Brown situation. He would if he is unvaccinated. 104 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: We don't know if he is, he would miss Sunday's 105 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: game and the Saints game on Thanksgiving. Yeah, so our offensive, 106 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: the offensive line goes right back to where it was 107 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: and it was not pretty well. And that begs my 108 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: next question to you, Steve. We know that Cody Ford 109 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: had an up and down performance against Jacksonville, and now 110 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: you're in that situation again because Feliciano still isn't back 111 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: off IR. He is eligible to come back next week 112 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: against the Saints because he will have spent three games 113 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: on injured reserve, which is the minimum once you're on there. 114 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: He went on there with a calf injury, but he 115 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: is not part of the equation on Sunday. So you 116 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: assume Ike Butcher stays at left guard. We're presuming Daryl 117 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: Williams goes back out to right tackle. If Spencer Brown 118 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: is not available. Are you putting Cody Forward back at 119 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: right guard? Or are you looking to Ryan Bates because 120 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: I think he's the next most likely option. Yeah, unless, yeah, 121 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: unless you want to put a six eight Tommy Doyle 122 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: in it guard and see if he can do that, 123 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: or you know, or something played exclusively tackle in training camp, right, 124 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's never taken as far as 125 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: I know, he's never taken a single rep inside. So yeah, 126 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean it, it isn't. Yeah, in my opinion, is 127 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: an enormous problem for the Bills going into this part 128 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: because of who they're playing, because of who they're playing 129 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: for Starlow to Lela being out, they got to stop 130 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: the run and do a better job than Jacksonville and 131 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: the Jets and all these other teams have done. Because 132 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts they've won five out of six, four 133 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: out of the last five, five out of the last seven. 134 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: They're rolling. And then to have them come in here 135 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor, who's the best back still playing in 136 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: the National Football League, behind one of the best offensive 137 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,559 Speaker 1: lines in the league, against your defensive line that's built 138 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: to pass rush and not so much to stand up 139 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: against the run, and then your offensive line, well, let's 140 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: just say it's an absolute mess right now because of 141 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: the you know, because of the shuffling around and the 142 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: guys that are injured and guys that are out now 143 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: with COVID it couldn't And coming off a week where 144 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: you just tried to learn the lesson that you got 145 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: to play physical up front, now you you're compromised on 146 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: both sides of the line of scrimmage and your ability 147 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: to do that. Yeah, it's it seems to me like 148 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: it's a game right for the Bills to take a 149 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: step back. I think you can make the argument that 150 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: Star Latulae and Spencer Brown are your two most physical 151 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: alignment on the roster. You can make the argument. You 152 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: can make there are other considerations. You can say Feliciano 153 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: could be one of those guys, but he's not available either, 154 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: so and I don't think he's as strong as Spencer 155 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: Brown is just physically strong, right. So, so against what 156 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: is a physical offensive front, there is the prospect of 157 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: not having your most physical interior defensive lineman. And against 158 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: a good and emerging Colts defensive front, you're going into 159 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: that situation without the possibility of having your most physical 160 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. I mean we saw it last week. He 161 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: made a difference. There's no two ways about it. Spencer 162 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Brown made an enormous difference. Yes, and he did, so 163 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: did the philosophy of Brian Dable. I mean they went 164 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: two tights and or one tight with a full back 165 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: in an or and sometimes at twelve an extra offensive 166 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: linemen out there. They went very heavy and went under 167 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: center for the majority of snaps last week in and 168 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: for the first time all season. So that's out there 169 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: as well, and that really helped. And Brian Dable deserves 170 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: a ton of credit for saying, listen, we gotta we 171 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: gotta write this ship and we're gonna, like course correct 172 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: in a big way. And they did and it worked. 173 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: But the offensive line was more physical and played, and 174 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: I think it has a lot to do with the 175 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: guys that were in there and where they were lined up. 176 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: Now that to replicate that now is impossible because those 177 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: guys aren't available. It's that simple. On the other side 178 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: of the coin, it should be noted that the Indianapolis 179 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: practice report yesterday had four starters on it who did 180 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: not participate in practice, including left tackle Eric Fisher did 181 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: not practice with a back injury, linebacker Darius Leonard did 182 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: not practice due to an ankle and a hand injury. 183 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: Braden Smith, the starting right tackle, did not practice due 184 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: to an elbow injury, and defensive tackle and perennial Pro 185 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: bowler defar As Buckner did not practice yesterday due to abdomen, throat, 186 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: and back injuries. Now the severity of those we do 187 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: not know, and obviously the updated Thursday injury report will 188 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: tell us a little bit more about those four starters. 189 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: They also have rotational pass rusher Dio Adangbo. He did 190 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: not practice due to an ankle injury. Had a half 191 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: sacked last week, including the forced fumble at the end 192 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: of the game that pretty much clinched the victory. So 193 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: there are a bunch of guys that are dinged up 194 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: for them as well. So we'll have to see where 195 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: it goes and we'll know more obviously today. But looking 196 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: at it, they've got some injury questions that they have 197 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: to answer in terms of availability as well. Leonard's been 198 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: dragging that ankle around for a couple of weeks now 199 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: and it got dinged again against Jacksonville. He did return 200 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: to the game, however, and so he might be just 201 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: getting an extra Yeah, he'll just give it. They're just 202 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: giving him a day Fisher probably the same thing. Well, 203 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: all four of those guys may be the exact same thing, 204 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: because they all ended I don't think any of them 205 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: failed to finish the game. So do you know how 206 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: stuff crops up? Yeah, the end hamstring injury came out 207 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: of nowhere last week. We don't know. We don't know 208 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: what will happen or why that is, or how long 209 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: or how serious any of these things are. But you know, 210 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: they did finish the game last week, and for a 211 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: team and for the Colts, that's got to be like, 212 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: okast a little better. So there's that, yeah, So we'll 213 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: have to keep our eye on that as well, to 214 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: see what the availability looks like for some important cult 215 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: starters as well, after a handful of them miss practice. 216 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: This just yesterday for them, So we'll see what the 217 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: scenario is out there, probably a little bit later on 218 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: this afternoon. Taiwan Jones was another non participant due to 219 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: an illness non COVID illness, and Edmonds was not practicing 220 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: yesterday as well. He was listed his day to day. 221 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: We'll have to see where that goes. It be a 222 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: welcome sight to see him back on the practice field today, 223 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: but we'll have to wait and see what shakes out 224 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: with practice and the bills today. So that's pretty much 225 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: the scenario as far as Sunday's matchup is concerned, we 226 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: should mention that our Twitter conversation today is obviously focused 227 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: on the game Sunday. What's the one thing the Bills 228 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: must do to beat the cat on Sunday? We have 229 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: some choices there for you. A limit Jonathan Taylor, B 230 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: win the turnover battle, C O line protects Allen, d 231 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: something else way out in front. In the early voting 232 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: is O line protects Allen. That task becomes more difficult 233 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: if Spencer Brown is not available on Sunday. But almost 234 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: two thirds of the respondents on Twitter have chosen O 235 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: line protect Allen to beat the Colts on Sunday. Almost 236 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: a third, close to a third little more than a 237 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: quarter have said limit Jonathan Taylor. I am surprised, Steve 238 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: that when the turnover battle has gotten only five percent 239 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: of the vote. We're talking the two teams that have 240 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: more takeaways than any other teams in football. They are 241 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: first and second in total takeaways and in turnover margin. 242 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: They haven't turned it over themselves very much, and yet 243 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: only five percent of the respondents say turnover battles, what's 244 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: going to win the game. I'm surprised, Yeah, I don't know. 245 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: I think I think that most people feel like, if 246 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: you if you protect Josh, the Colts can't keep up 247 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: with this team on the scoreboard. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, 248 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: And if you go minus one on the turnovers, you know, 249 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: like minus four you're not winning. Of course, minus two 250 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: you're not winning, probably, But they still feel like, all 251 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: things being equal, if you protect protect Josh, I don't 252 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: think that they believe the Colts can score fast enough 253 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: to keep up with them. The interesting thing is if 254 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: you look at Carson Wentz and Josh Allen side by side, 255 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: their numbers this season pretty comparable. Yeah, Josh has nineteen 256 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Carson Wentz has seventeen. Josh, I think it 257 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: has six interceptions now Carson Wentz has three. Their passer 258 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: ratings are almost identical, and both have been pretty good 259 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: in yards per attempt. They're pretty comparable there as well. 260 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: Passer ratings are a little off Josh, it's a little 261 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: bit higher than Carson wins so numbers though through it's 262 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: been ten games for the Colts nine for the Bills, 263 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: they're pretty close. I was surprised how close the two 264 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: of them were, especially knowing sim of Carson wentz and 265 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: struggles out of the gate. So interesting thing to keep 266 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: an eye on. We do want to go to the 267 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: phones though, at eight oh three five fifty one eight 268 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty and we lead 269 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: off with Joe and Buffalo. Joe, what do you have 270 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: for us? You're on one bills live, Hi, guys, I 271 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: just got a couple of rules on our questions for 272 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: you to get hop out of out. Our teams allowed 273 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: to play a man out on the golf poles to 274 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: possy blocked a short field goal since they could one 275 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: one back death fall short. And the second one is 276 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: u When a defensive team is a tough to do 277 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: block a punt and partly blocks a punt, why isn't 278 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: it considered a fumble or free ball since it would 279 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: be a fun boy if it hit a player that 280 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: was blocking on the return team. Thanks, I'll just listen 281 00:15:54,200 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: to the partially blocked punt becomes a normal punt when 282 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: it crosses the line of scrimmage. It doesn't matter who 283 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: touched it or you know how many guys batted it. 284 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: But if the momentum of the kick after you deflect 285 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: it goes past the line of scrimmage. It is a 286 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: normal punt, not a block punt. If it doesn't go 287 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: past the line of scrimmage, then all the things that 288 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: you said are true. It's a live ball, so and 289 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: that which means also the kicking team could scoop it 290 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: up and get a first down, or the you know, 291 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: or the return team could scoop it up and get 292 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Yeah, so that I think that answers your question. 293 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: A partially blocked kick is not a block kick. If 294 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: it goes past the line of scrimmage, it's just a 295 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: bad kick. What about his question about posting a guy 296 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: up under the crossbar on a field goal to block it, 297 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: You're you're assuming somebody can jump high enough to swat 298 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: it away from the uprights. Illegal. You have to block them. 299 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: You cannot jump up and do that at the other 300 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: end of the kick. It has to be at the 301 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: front end. Yeah, it has to be at the front end. 302 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: That was made illegal decades ago. Yeah. Yeah, you remember, 303 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: if you if you Amichael back there right, if you 304 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: remember the for years, the longest kick ever kicked was 305 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: Tom Dempsey in New Orleans on Thanksgiving Day against the 306 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, sixty three yards the ball barely cleared the 307 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: top the upright and back to return for the Saints. 308 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: The guy actually tried to jump up and knock it away, 309 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: and the league subsequent to that years later outlawed it. 310 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: So you can't do that. No goaltending, no goaltending on 311 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: the on the uprights. That's essentially so yeah, both of 312 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: those things. I hope that clears it up for it. Also, 313 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, that's why we got you here. 314 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: One of the things. Another thing you gotta remember if 315 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: the punt comes down and I had this happened to 316 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: me is in the booth one time. Um, not to me, 317 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: but I watched it in the booth on the game 318 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: I was covering. So the ball comes down a punt, 319 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: the guy it bunk, it bunks off the guy's helmny 320 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: he has trouble, bounces up in the air a little bit, 321 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: and subsequently somebody whacks him and one of the other 322 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: guys catches the ball in the air heads in in 323 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: for a touchdown for the kicking team. For the kicking team, no, 324 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: that's and it's not. It didn't count and it shouldn't count. 325 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 1: And here's why the receiving team gets an opportunity to 326 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: catch the ball uninterrupted. When that ball bounced off his head, 327 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: he's still trying to catch it. It's not a mist 328 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: catch until it touches the ground. So you can't catch 329 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: a tipped punt by the return team if it hasn't 330 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: hit the ground yet, so he basically not considered a 331 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: muff until it hit the ground. That's correct, So it 332 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: could bounce up twenty feet in the air. The kicking 333 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: team can't touch it until it bounces, and they can't 334 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: bother the guy that is trying to catch it for 335 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: the return team until it hits the ground because you 336 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: can't get in his way. So that you know, you 337 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: rarely see it happen because you you know those guys 338 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: back there magicians catching the ball. If they don't, they 339 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: don't do that, So lose it in the sun. You know, 340 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: maybe it bounces off your helmet and it could happen 341 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: your shoulders. One thing I tried to do as a 342 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: cover guy. If they're trying to block you, you take 343 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: the guy and you push him into the return guy, 344 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: and if the ball hits him or the return guy, 345 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: the guys trying to catch him, his own guys banging 346 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: into him. Even if the guy's in your control at all, 347 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: bets are off. Now you still can't go for the ball. 348 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: And still no, you still have to wait till the 349 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: ball hits the ground. But that forces it hits him, 350 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: and then it's a live ball when it hits the ground. 351 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: So there you go. All right, let's go back to 352 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: the phones. Eight oh three five fifty fifty two five 353 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: fifty to Mark and Alden. We go, Mark, what do 354 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, 355 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call to aid. I am a 356 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: season ticket holder. I have been for the past twenty 357 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: five years. I have to get vaccinate to come and 358 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: watch the Bills play in the stadium. Why don't the 359 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: players have to be vaccinated to play the game? I'm 360 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: gonna drop out and listen to your response. Yeah, it's 361 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: very simple. Because their employees, the players don't have to 362 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: get back. Yeah, because their union. It's collectively bargained. That's 363 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: why is that? Yeah, And for the fans, the simple 364 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is as as crazy as it sounds, 365 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: by the law, they don't have to buy their tickets. Now, well, 366 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into it. It's a legal thing, 367 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: and it's I mean, who could. It's collectively collectively bargained, 368 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: and believe that's where it begins. And I'll say this too. 369 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: If you think the Bills had something to do with 370 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: the vaccination decision, come on, I mean that that that 371 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: came down from the Albany. That's where that came from. 372 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: The Bills had nothing to say about that. And and 373 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: they're being good soldiers saying, you know whatever, it's just me. 374 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, yeah, moving along. So that, I mean 375 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: that pretty much spells it out. It's pretty straightforward. Yeah, 376 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: the players agreed to it as a group. And and 377 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: this is one of the things you don't anticipate when 378 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: you're collected bargaining. Obviously for nobody, none of us anticipated. 379 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: But that's that's where it comes down from. It's collectively bargained. 380 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to Ron and Buffalo. Next Ron, you're on 381 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. What do you have for us? Yeah? 382 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: Sponsored Doyle, why can't we just plug him in for 383 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: or Tommy Doyle? Why can't we Why can't we plug 384 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: him in for Brown? Well? Yeah, I mean that that 385 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: certainly is an option. Is does he play the same 386 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: position he does? Yes, he does he plays him tackle. 387 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: They plugged him in for a minute left tackle last week. 388 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: If you remember John Dawkins got called for a hold 389 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: and then had to come up the field too, is 390 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: because he was injured. Tommy Doyle got in and promptly 391 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: gave up a sack or a hit on Josh So 392 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: his first snap, although he came in with about fifteen 393 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: seconds notice off the yeah he was he was. He 394 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: had to be as cold as an ice cube coming off, 395 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: but still nevertheless so Ron. It simply put, this is 396 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: a coaching decision. If the coaches believe their best line 397 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: has Darryl Williams at right tackle, assuming Spencer Brown camp 398 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: play being on the COVID reserve list, then that's the 399 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: lineup they're gonna go with. If they think Daryl Williams 400 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: can be a more effective right tackle than Tommy Doyle, 401 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: Daryl Williams is going to play and Tommy Doyle isn't. 402 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: And don't forget this, Ron, there ain't no politics in this. 403 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: They don't care who if their rookie draft pick as 404 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: opposed to their rookie number one draft pick or number 405 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: three draft pick as opposed to a street free agent. 406 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: This coaching staff and this general manager and even this 407 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: ownership group play the best guy they're not getting caught 408 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: up in and I'm paying this guy too much. That's 409 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: why Spencer Brown moved into the starting lineup in the 410 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: first place, exactly right. Just hey, that's the if it's 411 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: not the way you think it is, or if if 412 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: Doyle's not playing, there is an absolutely good reason for it. 413 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: It's because he's not the best option or doesn't give 414 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: them the best combination. There's no other way to look 415 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: at it. They see these guys day in day out. 416 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: They watch him practice, they talk to him, they interact 417 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: with him. They understand what that guy knows. They understand 418 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: what they can trust him with. They've seen him play 419 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: against NFL quality guys in practice. They've watched and improve, 420 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: They've watched him have setbacks. Everything. They know as much 421 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: as you can possibly know about every guy on this roster, 422 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: and if they're not playing, there's a reason for it. 423 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: And the guys that play are the guys that the 424 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: coaches trust the most to execute on a consistent basis 425 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: and have the skill set to performs as best as 426 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: possible in that position based on the guy they have 427 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: at their disposal. It's as simple as that. Let's go 428 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: to Kevin and Hamburg. What do you have for U? 429 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: Is Kevin? Are you doing? Thanks for taking my car? Sure? 430 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: I think what you guta do is when you pressure 431 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz the way the Titans did. You turned him 432 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: into a riverboat gambler and he does corny things like 433 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: he did in the game, and you will you will 434 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: pretty much guarantee him doing something crazy and stupid. And 435 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: because the games that he's won, he's not been pressurized. 436 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: The games he's lost, he's done something incredibly stupid, like 437 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: he did against Tennessee. Thinking he's like Patrick Mahomes or something. Yeah, 438 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: so throwing it left throwing it left hand, YEA, Well 439 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: I remember, Yeah, Kevin, I get it. And I'll say this, 440 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: there are people out there and for not no reason 441 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: to think the same thing about our quarterback. Um, no 442 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: quarterback is good when you're pressuring him, just like Josh 443 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: wasn't any good against Jacksonville. He would just there's just 444 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: no time to do anything. Um. I think what happened 445 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville caught the Bills off guard. They did not 446 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: think even an altered offensive line lineup like they had 447 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: to do in Jacksonville. I don't believe they thought they 448 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: would be outgunned like they were upfront offensively, even with 449 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: a shuffled offensive line. I think that caught them by surprise, 450 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: and once you get into a game like that with 451 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: that mistake, it's harder to recover because you know you've 452 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: only got so many reps with those guys up front, 453 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: and there's only so many things you can go to. 454 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: So I think that was something. Now with that in 455 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: the rear view mirror, maybe the Bills have a better 456 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: plan coming in against the Indianapolis Colts, knowing what they 457 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: can and cannot do. But I think when you get 458 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: into a game like they did at Jacksonville, they get 459 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: caught singing, Wow, what's going on? It's harder to recover 460 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: because you know you can't change those guys out. But 461 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: I think with a game under their belt like Jacksonville, 462 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: they'll have a better handle on what they can and 463 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: cannot get away with jam Pact show for you today, 464 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: Field Yates coming up after the break here with his 465 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: daily Fantasy lineup presented his Ultimate Fantasy lineup presented by FanDuel, 466 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: Make every moment more.

It's good to have 477 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: you back as you are here every Thursday to help 478 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: us out with these lineups. And I'm going to relay 479 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: a funny story that you're going to enjoy based on 480 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: the lineup you have chosen today. I point out, I 481 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: point out to Steve that the quarterback you have in 482 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: this week's lineup is TOA and he said, Wow, that's 483 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: a really risky pick. Who the heck are they playing, 484 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: to which I respond, they're playing the Jets, Steve. Steve responds, 485 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: all right, I approve he's on the right. You guys 486 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: are both on the right track there. You know, TA 487 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: has not necessarily been remarkable this season, and obviously last 488 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: week only played as a reserve, coming into the game 489 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: after Jacobi Purcette got hurt. But you just mentioned the 490 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: matchup seven thousand dollars on Vanduel pricing up against the 491 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: New York Jets, and you guys got a firsthand account 492 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: of what that Jets defense looks like just this past weekend. 493 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm surprised. The Jets began the year playing 494 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: fairly frisky defense, and they have a couple of reasonable 495 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: defensive linemen, but my goodness, have they become a SIB recently? 496 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: I mean, absolutely nothing is working. So twa seven thousand 497 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: dollars a reasonably priced quarterback on the slate, and there 498 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: are some other quarterbacks either are coming off of substandard performances, 499 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: whether it's a Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers or Tom 500 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: Brady or perhaps ones that you have questions about their 501 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: matchup to. You do not have questions about that matchup whatsoever. Yeah, 502 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: and that's I've seen that as well, and watching some 503 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: of the stuff on game pass, the Jet defensive line 504 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: looks like it's on roller skates. Sometimes and of course 505 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: the Bills had their way in the back end of 506 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: that defense as well, and that spells really a really 507 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: bad day for this Dolphin team coming in. I mean, 508 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: since they have the Dolphin team coming in division opponent 509 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: and the I just, yeah, the Jets are really bad defensively, 510 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: and it looks like it's not only systemic, it also 511 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: looks like a little bit emotional as well. Yeah, it's 512 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: interesting right now following some of the comments out of 513 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: New York. And you guys also know being there in 514 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: the building every single day, like sometimes outside perception does 515 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: not match internal reality. But I think for the Jets, 516 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,719 Speaker 1: they've got to find a way to power through some 517 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: of the white noise that is being said or spread 518 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: around that team and some people who are saying the 519 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: same old Jets. But if you're Robert Sala their first 520 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: year head coach, or Joe Douglass their second year at GM, 521 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: they're probably thinking to yourself, we're not the same old Jets. 522 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: We're not. But how do you prove it? And the 523 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: only way you can prove it is improving on the 524 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: field or winning games on the field. The Dolphins are 525 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: the favorites in this game, but if the Jets get 526 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: a win on Sunday, which is definitely doable, they will 527 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: be able to change the narrative a little bit right now. 528 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: And I might as take it right from the Jets 529 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: to our running backs this week, and we've got a 530 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: pair that I think are interesting. The first is aj 531 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: Dilling for the Packers and all Brownie him on his 532 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: season long lineup again price at seven thousand dollars on 533 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: fan Duel, and I think what you're finding here is 534 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: that you're getting the discount because of the fact that 535 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones got hurt last week. And not that we 536 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: didn't realize Aaron Jones got hurt, but by the time 537 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: that pricing was set on Monday, who weren't entirely sure 538 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: how much time, if any Aaron Jones would miss. Hej 539 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: Dillon checks in at seven thousand dollars. I expect him 540 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: to have somewhere around twenty to twenty five total touches. 541 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: He's good in the passing game. It's obviously a very 542 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: good runner. My second running back is a guy that 543 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: I've really loved and daily in a bunch of occasions 544 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: this year, and that is Jady McKissick of the Washington 545 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: football team, who one of the more reliable past catching 546 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: backs rarely ever drops passes, and Antonio Gibson ran better 547 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: last week, found the end zone twice. But when Washington 548 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: goes hurry up or at the end of the first 549 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: half or if they're trailing, Jady mckistick gets the guy 550 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: and if he gets five catches in this game on Sunday, 551 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: he could well pay off. And like Carolina defense, that's 552 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: really the story of what happened this past Sunday. You know, 553 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: Cam Newton's return was obviously incredible, and he played well, 554 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: especially in those first two snaps when he accounts it 555 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. But Carolina's defense is the truth this year. Okay, 556 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: So let's let's move on to the receivers here. And 557 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: you're spending big at receiver position, you guys are gonna 558 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: find that I pretty much spend big every week at 559 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: my receiver just because this is PPR scoring, which gives 560 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: you the opportunity to take advantage of volume in these catches. 561 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: And Deebo Samuel, I mean, how many wide receivers have 562 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: been better than him this year? You can make the 563 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 1: argument obviously the Cooper Cup has been better but besides that, 564 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: it's a conversation with just about every other wide receiver 565 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Awesome this past Monday Night, catches a 566 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: bunch of passes, and as we saw on Monday Night 567 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: as well, they're gonna let him hand the football off 568 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: quite a bit. Right, it's he's gonna take some handoffs, 569 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: I should say exactly so. He also has been utilized 570 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: in two phases a player. Next up, Jamar Chase for 571 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals coming off of a bye. I mean, he's 572 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: been so good this year. Right, plays against the Raiders, 573 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: who've actually got some reasonable production out of their counterback 574 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: group this year. As an example, Casey Hayward, got they 575 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: signed to a one year deal, has been really, really solid. 576 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: You've got a solid rookie, and Nate Hobbs has played 577 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: well as well. But I don't think this defense is 578 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: going to have enough sort of put the screws on 579 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: this Cincinnati passing offense. And the last one is Davante 580 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: Adams probably one that needs no explanation. That being said, 581 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: the Packers, I can't imagine they're nearly as bad last 582 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: week this week as they were last week, right, I mean, 583 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: the Packers offense got stuck in the mud against Seattle, 584 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: barely did anything. Minnesota is gonna get Patrick Peterson back, 585 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's a secondary that scares you 586 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: right now. I expect Green Bay to have a bounce 587 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: back performance. Got a shoulder injury, right, So is he 588 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: looked like he's gonna be okay or little shoulder ding? 589 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think it's going to be just fine. 590 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: And I think Aaron Rodgers, by the way, with his toe, 591 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: is gonna be fine as well. I think this is 592 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, the Bills are very good at this. I 593 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,719 Speaker 1: think you guys know that obviously. You know veteran management, right, 594 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's been given guys days off. That's what week 595 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: one of the season. It just seventeen weeks a long time, 596 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: no matter how insignificant the injury might be, whether it's 597 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: a guy like Cole Beasley or Emmanuel Sanders, you know 598 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: guys like that that have been given some days here 599 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: or there. Yeah, I think the same thing is happening 600 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: right now in Green Bay. Yeah. As you move down 601 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: the lineup, you're getting back into the point where it 602 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: looks and a lot of people are thinking this as well. 603 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: The Chiefs has kind of figured some things out, and 604 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: you're going to use that to your advantage. Yeah, sure, 605 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: I am. As we look through the rest of the 606 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: lineup here and you go to that tight end spots 607 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: and you know that's Travis Kelsey is always a good answer, right. 608 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that you can get him into 609 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: your lineup is useful, and he was really good this 610 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: past Sunday, obviously for Kansas City. Best game I think 611 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: I've seen from them probably all years, sort of dominating 612 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders I expected on Sunday is going to go 613 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: one of two ways. They can either dominate the Cowboys 614 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: or they're gonna have to keep up with the Cowboys. Right. 615 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: The best way to keep up they're throwing the ball 616 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: at Ton. Chiefs have been a little bit better about 617 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: running the football since Daryl Williams took over as they're 618 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: leading running back. We'll see whether it's Clyde Everard Layer 619 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: or Daryl Williams. But really, as we know, guys, the 620 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: Chief's offense is gonna live or die by the past. 621 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: So it wouldn't surprise me if Travis Kelsey has a 622 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: nice day and it takes us right into Daryl Williams. 623 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: What having my flex spot, and this is one of 624 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: those potential pivots. So if Clyde Everard du Layer plays 625 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: on Sunday, you might be out of the business of 626 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: Damian Williams. If he does that. I think you need 627 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: to be ready to if he does not. Players you 628 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: say and that in reference to Clyde Everorge Layer, they 629 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: need to be ready for Damian Williams to be a 630 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: feature back in your lineup. And they have nothing running 631 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: the football a ton as I was just saying, but 632 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: they have an incredible throwing the football. And Daryl Williams 633 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: had nine catches for one hundred and one yards in 634 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: a touchdown last week. You guys saw that primetime game. 635 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: He went up and made an incredible cat over a 636 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: defensive back a thirty seven yard almost like a like 637 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: a thirty seven yard delayed bade route, Like you don't 638 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: ever see that in the NFL. But the Chiefs executed 639 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: this past Sunday, and I think at Darryl Williams, if 640 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: Clyde Everwardy Layer is out, will wind up being one 641 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: of the most useful plays in your lineup. All right, 642 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: So I need some logical explanation here. Because you have 643 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: talked about this defense being an underachieving unit, which they 644 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: unquestionably have been, and now they've lost Chase Young for 645 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: the season, which doesn't help matters. Explain the choice of 646 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: Washington here for your defense. Yeah, and Daily Fantasy guys, 647 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: there's something that's basical called a punt play, which is that, 648 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: like you know, you're not willing to spend much on 649 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: your defense. I would imagine the Bills or maybe the 650 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: Dolphins the highest price defense this week on FanDuel. But 651 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: you can save I don't know, two thousand, twenty one 652 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: yard bucks if he just spends low on a team 653 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: like Washington who plays against Carolina on Sunday. I know 654 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: they got an infusion of offense with Cam Newton back 655 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: next week, but you know, we'll see, right I want 656 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: to see it from Cam as a as a thrower, 657 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: especially when you guys watch those games last year in 658 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: New England. You know that like when Cam was throwing, 659 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: it was difficult for the offense to move effectively. We'll 660 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: see whether or not that has changed, whether Cam's arm 661 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: has sort of found it scorn back. They obviously have 662 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: very good receivers in Carolina, but I'm not necessarily scared 663 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: of them, and you know you're right, Chase Young out, 664 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: Montes Sweat is out. But Chase Young left that game 665 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: earlier last week. And by the way, they held Tom 666 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: Brady and the Bucks in check, I mean all game basically, 667 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: so I was impressed by them last week. So it 668 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: maybe maybe a punt, but at all at thirty Bucks. 669 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: But it also may be like, hey, you get ten 670 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: because they're able to score or force a turnover or 671 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: at least keep Carolina under twenty one or so points. Yeah, 672 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: take a flyer? Why not? All right? That's the ultimate 673 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 1: fantasy lineup from Field Yates presented by fan Duel make 674 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: every moment more wanted to get your thoughts Field. Obviously, 675 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: we don't know vaccination status of one Spencer Brown or 676 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: Star Latulae for that matter, but both are on the 677 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 1: COVID reserve list, and you can make the argument these 678 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: are two of the most physical lineman on the roster 679 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: for Buffalo and now they potentially have to play a 680 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: colts team which we know can mash at the line 681 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: of scrimmage as well as anybody. Potentially without those two guys, 682 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: how much more difficult do you see the matchup? Becoming 683 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: if those two, in fact, cannot dress on Sunday. Yeah, 684 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: I mean I still have picked the Bills to win 685 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,959 Speaker 1: this game. I ain't picking the Bills to win this game. 686 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: That being said, it's a much more difficult challenge without 687 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: two players you mentioned or tone setters in terms of 688 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: the physicality for the Bills. Right Star one of the 689 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: best run defenders as well, and you guys know all 690 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: about Jonathan Taylor, who needs just one yard to overtake 691 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry for the NFL rushing yardage lead. He's got 692 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: seven straight games of at least one hundred skrimmage yards 693 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: and a rushing touchdown that's been done by only three 694 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: other men in NFL history. He's an incredible player. And 695 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: that'll on the defensive line. The Colts have sort of 696 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: an assortment of pass rushers. Nobody is dominant. The kind 697 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: of guy that's don't they don't have, you know, whether 698 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: it's a T. J. Watt or somebody of those of 699 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: that caliber. But they do have good rotational edged players. 700 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: They've got a first round pick in Quitty Pay. They've 701 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 1: got a very disruptive fensive tackle and Forrest Buckner. They've 702 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: got some good pieces at the front. So Spencer Brown 703 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 1: obviously has been a really solid bright spot for the Bills. 704 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: That right tackle position would be a big significant loss 705 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,720 Speaker 1: for the Bills that they're unable to play with them. 706 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: As we've seen though, this is unfortunately one of the 707 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: themes of the year the NFL teams having to make 708 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 1: adjustments on the fly here with all sorts of COVID 709 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: situations popping up around the league. As Indianapolis Colts start 710 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 1: the season oh and three, they finally got it together. 711 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: They're back to five and five now they're back in 712 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: the conversation at least besides a Jonathan Taylor and besides 713 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: maybe a Michael Pittman. Is there anybody emerging as an 714 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: offensive maybe fantasy football choice on the Colts team right now? 715 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: Not really, you know, two way Hilton is still part 716 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: of the passing offense, and they've gotten some contributions from 717 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: Zach Pascal, former Old Dominion standout, and Michael Stracan. Their 718 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 1: seventh round pick out of Charleston, a guy who was 719 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: sort of a sleeper during the pre draft process, goes 720 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 1: in the seventh round. He was good early in the year. 721 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: Nihim Hines is a dynamic player, really good in the 722 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: return game, good in the passing game, but not necessarily 723 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: kind of guy that you can have in your lineup consistently. 724 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: But this is a big game for both teams. Obviously, 725 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: it's a big one for the Bill as we know 726 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: because you know six and three and they certainly looked 727 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: like one of the best teams in the NFL. But 728 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,720 Speaker 1: as we know, this year, there is such a cluster 729 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: of teams, right you got a bunch of teams that 730 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: are still in the mix. Indianapolis has to prove it 731 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 1: they're for real. They're five and three. That helps you 732 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: only plays under schedule, but they have not been able 733 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 1: to take down a team with an excellent quarterback yet. 734 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: They've lost to Tennessee as an example, and we saw 735 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: them lose to Baltimore heartbreaking fashion. They lost to Russell 736 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: Wilson and the Seahawks early. It's time in the Rams 737 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: with Matthew Stafford. They have not beaten a team with 738 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: a great quarterback. Obviously have an incredible quarterbacks. It's a 739 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: big challenge there for Indy. All right, feel listen, thanks 740 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: as always for your ultimate fantasy lineup. In for a 741 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: little insight on this weekend's Bills game.

ESPN Fantasy Football expert with his ultimate fantasy lineup, 745 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: presented by fan Duel make every moment more and uh, 746 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: well he's still picking the Bills. That makes me feel 747 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: a little bit better. I'll tell you this. There'll be 748 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,919 Speaker 1: a lot of people who won't. Yeah, they'll go back 749 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: to the Jacksonville game and say, you're gonna put that 750 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: offensive line out there again, or a variation thereof Yeah, 751 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: they're not gonna be fast. You know they're gonna jump. 752 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: They're not gonna be jumping all over that. Plus with 753 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: Starlo Tula layout and Jonathan Taylor rolling into Buffalo on 754 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 1: what could be a rainy day, you could spell some problems. Yeah, 755 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: there will be a lot of people, maybe in the 756 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: media and you know all these people who predict on that. 757 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: There'll be some people jumping over the cold side of 758 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: the field. This is I think spread was seven and 759 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: a half. I believe Bills were a seven and a 760 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 1: half point favorite, and I think the overunder was forty nine. 761 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: With the forecast and the potential for the Bills to 762 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: not have two pretty important lineman, one on each side 763 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 1: of the ball. Be interesting to see if the line 764 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: moves a little bit and if the over under comes 765 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: down with the forecast sixty percent chance of rain. So 766 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,479 Speaker 1: we shall see. It's only Thursday right now, there's plenty 767 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 1: of time between now and Sunday. Be interesting to see 768 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: if that line moves. We have to take a break here, 769 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: but when we come back, we will get to your 770 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet and take any phone calls 771 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: we might have as we are asking you what's the 772 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: one thing the Bills must do to beat the Colts 773 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: on Sunday.

Here is Jordan 784 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: Poyer on matching the physicality of the Colts offensive front. 785 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: You see that on tape. You know obviously with the 786 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: style offense that they have. You know, I can run football. Um, 787 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: you know what that means. You got to have a 788 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: physical offensive line to do that. And they do. And 789 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: like I said, we're not have to play well to win. 790 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: There's some sort of people say set the tone early 791 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: for in regards to like you combatting their physicality. What 792 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 1: does that mean? And what do you guys have to do? Then? 793 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: Since almost match that? Yeah, I mean it's it's like 794 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: going into a fight. You know. You know, now the 795 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: fight's gonna be physic cool. Um, you gotta be the 796 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: one to attack, you know, And that's just the way 797 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: you gotta look at You gotta be the one to 798 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: set the tone early. Um. You know you might get hit, 799 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: but you gotta get out and get back up and 800 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: and you know, continue to throw punches. So it's gonna 801 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 1: be for one of those physical games. And we understand 802 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: that going into the game. Um, it's a good offense 803 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: and you know we're a good defense, and you know 804 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun Sunday. Hey, if you think 805 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 1: it's fun, you got a good chance of playing physical. 806 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: And playing physical is fun for you. Go get them. 807 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: I can't believe I versed to think that, but I 808 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: think I did. Yeah, it's that's why we say. That's 809 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: why we say it. Most people don't, and I've said it. 810 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,720 Speaker 1: It affects. It makes people who don't understand it question 811 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: what is going on? Why are they doing that? Why 812 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: are they not It's because of the physicality. But physicality 813 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 1: is such a demand you gotta get yourself ready for it, 814 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 1: and the first chance you can get to get out 815 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 1: of it, you do, which means early in games, teams 816 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: check out, they start to coast a little bit. The 817 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: other team that's been drubbed for sixty minutes or fifty 818 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: five minutes, all of a sudden starts to look like 819 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: world beaters. Is because the other team is like going, Okay, 820 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not going to invest the physicality anymore. And 821 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: the other team scores two late touchdowns when they couldn't 822 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:22,399 Speaker 1: even move the ball for the rest of the game. So, yeah, 823 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: you guys, gotta love it, but by the same token, 824 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,280 Speaker 1: if you do it for a little bit, it's like, Okay, 825 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 1: that's enough. Payer All also addressed taking that physical style 826 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: to their past defense as well, and job number one 827 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: past defense wise is going to be Michael Pittman on Sunday, 828 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: who is only one reception and twenty one receiving yards 829 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: behind Stefan Digs. This season, he has emerged as the 830 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: clear number one receiver for Indianapolis, and he also leads 831 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 1: the league in third down receptions. This is the go 832 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: to guy in the passing game for the Colts. Here's 833 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: Warriors take on how to limit his effectiveness on Sunday. 834 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,439 Speaker 1: Huge target for for Carson A big target, UM, huge 835 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: catch radius. A guy who who plays extremely hard. Um 836 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 1: plays extremely hard. He kind of he reminds me a 837 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: little of myself on the on the offensive side of 838 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,839 Speaker 1: the football. Man. He's he's just every player. You can 839 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,399 Speaker 1: see him out there battling. UM. You know, the guy 840 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 1: like that, You're just gonna have to continue to play physical. Um. 841 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 1: You know, when the balls in his hands, you know, 842 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 1: you gotta make him feel you. That's and that's what 843 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,800 Speaker 1: they're anybody who um, you know, not putting a target 844 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: on his back or anybody's back. But at the same time, 845 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: you know, players from the balls in the hand you gottam. 846 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: You know, throughout a game like this, you gotta make 847 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 1: them really make a feel you. You gotta make them 848 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: pay a physical price. I mean, yep, and that's been 849 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: around forever. I mean Bill Belichick and the Giants defense 850 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: in Super Bowl twenty five, they beat the tar right Andre. 851 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 1: Every time he came over the middle. They had the 852 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: linebackers smacking him whether he caught the ball or not, 853 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: to try to send a message. Now, at least for 854 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 1: my indication, didn't look like Andrea was affected by it. 855 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: But a lot of people do get affected by that 856 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 1: and play differently. Alliga, well, yeah, it's a different world 857 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: now too, because nowadays you don't hear quarterbacks talking about this. 858 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,279 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and Eli Manning will say it on their 859 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: sim on their Manning cast. You've heard analysts say this 860 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: in the booth, like Trent Green and Rich Gannon and 861 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: all the old quarterbacks, even Dan Fouts when he was 862 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 1: an analyst. Quarterbacks will make throws these days they would 863 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: never have made in their day because the safeties would 864 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 1: put their best receiver in the hospital. But now, because 865 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: of the player's safety, they can make throws knowing that 866 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: their receiver, that their receiver can catch it and fold 867 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: up before the guy gets there and not get hit. 868 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 1: Like for instance, I think back last year twenty twenty, 869 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: the Monday night football game in New England, Josh throws 870 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 1: a scene pass to Steph Diggs. The guy he gets hit, 871 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: keeps his feet and walks into the end zone for 872 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,879 Speaker 1: the second of three touchdowns. That's a throw that would 873 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 1: have ended his night in another era. But you make 874 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 1: that now and you move on, and you can say, 875 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it's just because it worked out 876 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: in the Bill's favor that moment, but I think the 877 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 1: game is better for it because you've got these guys 878 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: being able to make plays that they couldn't make in 879 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: years past. It's gonna be one of the more compelling 880 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: matchups for sure. On Sunday, Pittman and whoever they decide 881 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: to put on him. Is this a week where It's 882 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 1: redevious travels a little bit. It'd be interesting to see 883 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: if it was also interesting we had Field Yates on 884 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: It's It's Jonathan Taylor and Pittman. Everybody else is an afterthought. Yeah, So, 885 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean you can look for Leslie Frazier and Sean 886 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: McDermott to start right with those two guys and say 887 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 1: that that's the guy. They're gonna be easier said than 888 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: done to shoot them both out of the equation. But 889 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,879 Speaker 1: if you can, you go a long way to hold 890 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: in the cliffs down on the scoreboard. But if you 891 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: get to the point where one of them is more 892 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: likely to get it in the other and you force 893 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: them to beat beat your left handed all the time, 894 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: that's basically what you're trying to do. Break time for 895 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 1: us here, because when we come back, we'll have the 896 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,359 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer joining us. One Thurman Thomas is back 897 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: to reprise his role as Thursday commentator. He'll be here 898 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,919 Speaker 1: for the second hour of the show coming up next. 899 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Line, presented by Kalida Health. It's 900 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been 901 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 1: all over the field. Kind of unique. He was kind 902 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you state a stave 903 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: a blimp. We're not even in the strated fere of 904 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 1: normalcy all right here. We are our number two on 905 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: a Thursday. Hope you have your umbrella handy if you're 906 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: traveling around west to New York today it is a soaker. 907 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,839 Speaker 1: But joining us on the line right now for our 908 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,880 Speaker 1: number two is the Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas, who's 909 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: here to espouse his thoughts on Bill's colts and Thurman, 910 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 1: we need to begin with the addition to the COVID 911 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,800 Speaker 1: nineteen list. One. Spencer Brown added to the COVID reserve 912 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 1: list today. He didn't see this, just happened at eleven am, 913 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: and we don't know what his vaccination status is, so 914 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,439 Speaker 1: I guess there is still a remote possibility he could 915 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 1: test negative twice within twenty four hours, be symptom free 916 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,839 Speaker 1: and still play Sunday, but that seems to be unlikely. 917 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,439 Speaker 1: So tell me how your thoughts now change. Knowing there 918 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 1: is a distinct possibility that Spencer Brown is not on 919 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: the field Sunday, well, I think that changes a lot. Obviously, 920 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 1: him coming back last week against the Jets, Now let's 921 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 1: not look into too much because they are the Jets 922 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: and a very not a very good football team, but 923 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: having that guy back in the lineup lineup definitely changed 924 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: the physicality of the offensive line, and I think it 925 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: showed and for him to for us, for Bill's Mafia, 926 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: and for everybody in the organization to hial this news 927 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 1: today is because you are coming up a team up 928 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 1: against a team that is that has the leading Russia 929 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 1: in the National Football League in Jonathan Taylor, and Frank 930 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: is old school and Frank is going to try to 931 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,319 Speaker 1: run the ball at least thirty times this game. So 932 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,399 Speaker 1: it definitely puts a little damper on coming into this game. Now. 933 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 1: One of the things that happened last week against the 934 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: Jets is after you know, the offensive line struggles in Jacksonville, 935 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 1: they went came out and put Josh under center like 936 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 1: seventy percent of the time. I mean they and it 937 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,319 Speaker 1: was they never put him under center in some of 938 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 1: these games. And they came out under center about seventy 939 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,319 Speaker 1: five percent of the time. They put extra guys out, 940 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 1: they put two running backs, two tight ends, they put 941 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: an extra offensive lineman out there. They did all this 942 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: kind of stuff to you know, threat the run game. 943 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 1: How much did that help the offensive line and how 944 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: much and what's that do for a running back in 945 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 1: a run game? When you start doing that a lot 946 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 1: where you put the extra guy in there, and you know, 947 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 1: if it's not a full back, then it's an extra 948 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 1: tight end. If it's not an extra tight end or fullback, 949 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,399 Speaker 1: it's an extra offensive lineman. I mean they were doing 950 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,080 Speaker 1: all of that last week, right, Yeah. I think I 951 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 1: think as a running back, yeah, that's what you like, 952 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 1: that's what you love. I actually text Brian Dabo after 953 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:42,480 Speaker 1: the game and was like, man, I am loving Josh 954 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: being under the center, and his reply was as old 955 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,960 Speaker 1: school baby, and I was like, yes, I love it 956 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 1: because I think when you have this run option pass, 957 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,839 Speaker 1: you know, it really doesn't let the running backs see 958 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 1: their entire field. And I think when you're a quarterback 959 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: and you're under center and you're the running backs and 960 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 1: you're six seven eight yards deep and the other guys 961 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 1: know what's gonna come at you, you know, that's power 962 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 1: of football. That's really enforcing your will on the other 963 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: guy from across you on the defense and say hey, 964 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do, and we're gonna do 965 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 1: it all day. And so I like that. I like 966 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,319 Speaker 1: that aspect of it. I really agree with what he's 967 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 1: doing right now. I really love it, and I think 968 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,359 Speaker 1: he's going to continue to do it. I think if 969 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,399 Speaker 1: these running baskets see the entire field, I think that's 970 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: the most important thing that we talk about right now. 971 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 1: When you were talking about a running back. Yes, I 972 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,359 Speaker 1: used to be right beside Jim Kelly and we were 973 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: running counters. But our offensive line was very good at 974 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: run blocking and pass blocking. But I think if you 975 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: have a back seven eight yards deep, they can see 976 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,800 Speaker 1: the entire field. And I think what having Dawson nods 977 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,360 Speaker 1: back that helped out a lot. And you know what 978 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: I think with the Jets, you know it was you know, 979 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: they could have put sixty points on these guys, but 980 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,320 Speaker 1: they didn't. But they went out at the beginning of 981 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,800 Speaker 1: the game and told them that we were going to 982 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 1: run to football. I think that it's so much better 983 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 1: for a running back when he's seven eight yards deep 984 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 1: in the backfield where he can see their entire field, 985 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 1: whether it's a draw play or screen or count or whatever. 986 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 1: So Thurman Brian Dable speaking of him, has an interesting 987 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: balance he needs to strike here. He's playing a defense 988 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 1: that does not have its two starting safeties, both of 989 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 1: them are on ir and they have backups in their 990 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,960 Speaker 1: veteran players. But backups. Nonetheless, they've given up a ton 991 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 1: of deep balls for touchdowns. I think they've given up 992 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:49,319 Speaker 1: the most passing touchdowns in football, if not the second most. 993 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:53,840 Speaker 1: It's about twenty three and ten games. So you say, oh, 994 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: look at that, let's chuck the football. Here we go. 995 00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 1: But at the same time, this Colt's pass rush is 996 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 1: starting to round into form. Their first round draft pick, 997 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: Quitty pay is coming along. Now he's affecting the quarterback 998 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 1: more so. This just isn't a defensive front that offers 999 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 1: DeForrest Buckner in the middle. Now they've got some edge 1000 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,760 Speaker 1: guys that are coming along. So how do you balance 1001 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 1: that out? If you're Brian Dable, You've got safeties you 1002 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 1: feel you can take advantage of. But you got a 1003 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 1: pass rush that Indianapolis brings to the table that's got 1004 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,360 Speaker 1: a little more punch now than it had at the 1005 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. How do you strike that balance 1006 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,800 Speaker 1: if you're if you're Brian Dable, Well, I mean, look, 1007 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,399 Speaker 1: this offense over the last couple of years have been 1008 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 1: what we've been We've been moving the ball because we've 1009 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: been doing what we've been passing the ball, right, I mean, 1010 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,560 Speaker 1: I think when you have Dawson Knox, when you have 1011 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: Stefan Davis, if you have Emauel Sanders and Cole Beasley, 1012 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 1: and you have those guys and see that the Coats 1013 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 1: are not healthy in the back end with the safeties. Yes, 1014 00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 1: I think you do throw the ball, but I do 1015 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 1: believe that if you're going to slow that pass rush down, 1016 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 1: you have to be able to run the football. I 1017 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 1: just and I continue to talk old school like that 1018 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,319 Speaker 1: because that's my mindset. And I think if you're Brian Day, well, 1019 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 1: I think that should be your mindset because if you 1020 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,439 Speaker 1: look at the first game, all the games that we've 1021 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 1: lost this year, that front four has dominated the our 1022 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,879 Speaker 1: office of life and dominantly. When Josh is going back 1023 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 1: to past thirty forty times they have scrambled up. They 1024 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: have made him feel uncomfortable back in the backfield. And 1025 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,239 Speaker 1: I think when you have a running game and you 1026 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,359 Speaker 1: can't run the football, it all balances itself out. And 1027 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 1: so I don't know if y'all can hear my dogs 1028 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 1: and barking like crazy right now, but yeah, I think 1029 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 1: you do what you do best. You throw the football first, 1030 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: but I also do think that you do run the 1031 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 1: football and you run it right at those guys. And 1032 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 1: this has kind of reminded me of back in the 1033 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,479 Speaker 1: day when we used to play the Miami Dolphins. We knew, 1034 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 1: all knew that Jason Taylor was a hell of a 1035 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: pass rusher, but was he gonna be able to hold 1036 00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,800 Speaker 1: up against the run? And we ran right at this 1037 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,680 Speaker 1: but a lot of time now the guy is in 1038 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. But I tell you what, when 1039 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 1: we played the Dolphins and Jason Taylor, who is a 1040 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 1: great pass rusher, we're trying to get to Jim Kellett, 1041 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, we decide to hit you know what, We're 1042 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: gonna run the football right at him. See what kind 1043 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,919 Speaker 1: of man is And I think that's what they should 1044 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,840 Speaker 1: do with the Coats and then the Colts. You know, 1045 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 1: the Coats are gonna do that exact thing to the 1046 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,839 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. They're gonna turn around, run Jonathan Taylor right 1047 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 1: back at a defensive line without star Latu Lalla, and 1048 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 1: right at Tremaine Edmonds if he's back in there, or 1049 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,879 Speaker 1: a J. Klein or whoever else lines up in there. 1050 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,839 Speaker 1: By doing so, they almost negate the quality of the 1051 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 1: secondary that the Bills put out there. Bill's got a 1052 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,719 Speaker 1: great secondary. But who cares if the Colts never have 1053 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,720 Speaker 1: to throw the football? Right right? I think the Coats 1054 00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 1: are going to have to throw the football. I mean, 1055 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 1: if you, if you really want to look at that 1056 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:47,839 Speaker 1: aspect of the game, you know that they're gonna run 1057 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: the football and at least thirty thirty five times a game. 1058 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,359 Speaker 1: That's what they want to do. That's what Frank Wright 1059 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,839 Speaker 1: does want to do. I'll tell you what, who's been 1060 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,239 Speaker 1: playing some of the most outstanding football this year has 1061 00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 1: been Jordan Bion. He's gonna be up in that line 1062 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,399 Speaker 1: of scrim is right now. I think we do have 1063 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: some guys on the corner obviously with Trey White, and 1064 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 1: we got Michael Hide and Wallace on the other end. 1065 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: But I tell you what, if they want to do that, 1066 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 1: I would love to have Jordan Poya down in the 1067 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,719 Speaker 1: box seven and eight man box trying to stop that 1068 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,879 Speaker 1: run because I do think that our defense of bats 1069 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 1: skin hold the wide receivers for the Indianapolis coach to 1070 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 1: a minimum game or minimum yards or whatever. So I 1071 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 1: mean last year they had Philip Rivers and we played 1072 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 1: them in the playoffs, and I think he had over 1073 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 1: three hundred yards. I'm not sure. The only thing that 1074 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: I know about Carson Went it that he's a better 1075 00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 1: athlete than Philip Rivers. So you know what, if they 1076 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: want to play that game, I'm sure if Edmans is 1077 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 1: back and AJ Klein, if he's not a j will 1078 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 1: fit in up very very well. And so whatever the 1079 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: coach want to do, I think our defense is playing 1080 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 1: so well right now that it really doesn't matter. With 1081 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: the way AJ Klein played last week against the Jets, 1082 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 1: I already had a tremendous game without Trematon Edmonds on 1083 00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: the field. If you want to get invite the Coats 1084 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 1: to try and beat you through the past, do you 1085 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 1: put a J. Klein on the field, take maybe and 1086 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 1: you take tarn Johnson off the field, you put three 1087 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 1: linebackers on and you just say, listen, if you're gonna 1088 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: beat us, we're gonna pack the box. If you want 1089 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 1: to try and run it against it, go ahead, and 1090 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: then just invite him to throw it against the secondary. 1091 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 1: I mean, do you do you go that far with 1092 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, taking them out of their run game? Yeah? 1093 00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you go that for a tasker, 1094 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:27,920 Speaker 1: and you know Frank has been in this league for 1095 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,400 Speaker 1: a number of years, and you know he's not gonna 1096 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: go for that fate. You know what. I tell you what, 1097 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 1: Leslie Frazer has done an outstanding job with this defense 1098 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 1: as he's been here and along working with Sean McDermott. 1099 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: So I think right now with this defense, it's whatever 1100 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 1: that those guys decide to put out there, they're going 1101 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 1: to be successful. I just just think that being in 1102 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 1: this defense and being in this system for the last three, 1103 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 1: four or five years has really helped a lot of guys. So, 1104 00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean, and they're playing well for a reason. I mean, 1105 00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:03,280 Speaker 1: you can you can always say, well, they played the Dolphins, 1106 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 1: they played Jacksonville or what have you. But you know what, 1107 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 1: when you look at defenses like this that can control 1108 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 1: a football game, I mean there's I'm not saying a 1109 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 1: third or eighty five Bears are the Multimore Ravens when 1110 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 1: they went on and wanted to Super Bowl. But when 1111 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,000 Speaker 1: you look at this defense, you know, if our offense 1112 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 1: has to score thirty parts, they can. If our offense 1113 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: had to score less than thirty points or twenty parts, 1114 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 1: they can and they will. But it all predicates on 1115 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 1: the defense or what they can do and how they can. Now, Obviously, 1116 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to stop every single team 1117 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: every single week. You're gonna give up some yards, you're 1118 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 1: gonna give up some big plays. But I think when 1119 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 1: this defense, you always talk about ben, but don't break 1120 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 1: those guys doing at really critical times of the game 1121 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 1: and sometimes you know the opponent could be in their 1122 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 1: in their side of the field and it's all of 1123 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 1: a sudden the one, two or three point. You know, 1124 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 1: those are the game changing things that this defense has 1125 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 1: done all year, and I expect them to can continue 1126 00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 1: to do that for the rest of the year. So 1127 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 1: and just to kind of get a little bit deeper 1128 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 1: into Jonathan Taylor's skill set in your expert opinion, because 1129 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 1: he seems multifaceted as a back. I mean, he leaves 1130 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: the league in total yards from scrimmage. He's got over 1131 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 1: three hundred receiving yards on twenty nine catches in addition 1132 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 1: to his league leading rushing total. What is unique about 1133 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 1: his skill set that pops out to you when you 1134 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 1: watch him play, Well, I think one of the is 1135 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 1: he's big, he's fast, he's mobile, He's a guy that, hey, 1136 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna put his foot down and he's gonna run 1137 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 1: north and south, not east and west. But he does 1138 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 1: have enough speed to bounce it outside. And I think 1139 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,440 Speaker 1: one of the things that makes him so dangerous also 1140 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: is that, you know, going back and looking over the years, 1141 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,360 Speaker 1: you know a guy that can be on the football 1142 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 1: field first, second, and third down. It puts a lot 1143 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 1: of pressure on your defense. He catches the ball out 1144 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 1: of the backfield. I'm sure Frank would love to see 1145 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 1: him run some out or run some patterns on the outside, 1146 01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's capable of doing that. But you know, 1147 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: this is one of those guys where you didn't really 1148 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: see it, uh in college uh Wisconsin, right right, Yeah, 1149 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 1: And you know those guys are gonna run the ball 1150 01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 1: fifty six times differ single game and probably throw it 1151 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 1: five times. So a guy with that type of skill 1152 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 1: set that's kind of unknowniced coming out of the back, 1153 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,080 Speaker 1: coming out of the combine, and coming out of the 1154 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 1: college like Wisconsin, the guy can do it all. And 1155 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why he's leading the National 1156 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,080 Speaker 1: Football League and all purpose yards right now and leading 1157 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 1: Russian the National Football League. The guy can do it all. 1158 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 1: He's fast, he's mobile. I mean, you look at this 1159 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 1: run right here. That's about eighty yard touchdown run and 1160 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,360 Speaker 1: nobody's even close to him, not even a secondary guy. 1161 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 1: So um, yeah, it's gonna be a It's gonna be 1162 01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 1: a darning task for all for our defense. But I 1163 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 1: think they're ready for it. But I tell you what, 1164 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 1: they got this guy right here. Man, it's gonna be 1165 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: a load for at least five or six more years 1166 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 1: in that coach offense. Let's take let's take a step 1167 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,360 Speaker 1: back and look at the big picture from a break 1168 01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 1: this week as we stand the Buffalo Bills of the 1169 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,280 Speaker 1: two seeds in the AFC, and even with the loss 1170 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,440 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville, I mean, it's hard to imagine them not 1171 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 1: being good, the Bills not being good enough to make 1172 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:12,720 Speaker 1: to the postseason. Do you still think that the one 1173 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 1: seed is on the table for them? I mean, they've 1174 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,920 Speaker 1: certainly got to play at least as well as they 1175 01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 1: have so far down the stretch to get there. Although 1176 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,160 Speaker 1: every single team has a bad loss on their resume, 1177 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 1: how do you think it's gonna shake out? And what 1178 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 1: are the likelihoods the Bills getting the one seed and 1179 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:36,040 Speaker 1: having everything go through Buffalo? I still think there's a 1180 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:40,320 Speaker 1: possibility that they can get the one seed. As good 1181 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 1: or as great as Tennessee has been, you have to 1182 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 1: have some idea that this is not going to be 1183 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,720 Speaker 1: sustained for the rest of the year. I'm just not 1184 01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:56,440 Speaker 1: a big believer in Tannehill that can pull this team through. Obviously, 1185 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,920 Speaker 1: they're playing great on defense, but I'm telling you that 1186 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,520 Speaker 1: the loss of Derek Hemery is going to creep up 1187 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 1: on them sooner or later. It has to be. I mean, 1188 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 1: they just Julio Joneses went on our right not too 1189 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:11,520 Speaker 1: long ago. So their defenses playing well, I still think 1190 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 1: that there's a shot that the Buffalo Bills can get 1191 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 1: that number one seed. And what man, how would that 1192 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,200 Speaker 1: be If the Buffalo Bills got that number one seed 1193 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:25,280 Speaker 1: and here for the entire playoffs here at high Mark Stadium, 1194 01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 1: that would be something else. But obviously there's a long 1195 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 1: way to go. Now you have New England playing well 1196 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 1: after everybody was kind of writing them off at the 1197 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,600 Speaker 1: first four or five weeks of the season. You know, 1198 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 1: So those two games against New England that we really 1199 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 1: never really mentioned at the beginning of the season, now 1200 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm probably going to be probably the most important games 1201 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,960 Speaker 1: on our season. But I do think that Tennessee is 1202 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 1: on a roll right now, but I don't think that 1203 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,120 Speaker 1: they can sustain it for the rest of the year. Yeah, 1204 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 1: they are beat up injury wise, and somehow they've still 1205 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:58,400 Speaker 1: managed to win games. So hopefully that catches up with 1206 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 1: them at some point and they fall back to the 1207 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 1: rest of the pack. That would open the door for 1208 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 1: the Bills and probably a couple of other teams. Thurman, 1209 01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 1: thanks for the time as always, sir. We appreciate you 1210 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 1: checking in with us.

You guys had to 1228 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: stay inside today. It's raining cats and dogs out there. 1229 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 1: Huh it is midnight last night. Yeah, how's your You've 1230 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 1: had a great season so far. You guys are getting 1231 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:19,400 Speaker 1: a lot of things done. I know this too, and 1232 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 1: when I watch um, you're one of the guys that 1233 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 1: gets a lot of attention from the opponents of the 1234 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,480 Speaker 1: Bills on special teams. How has it been? How have 1235 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 1: you seen that progress over your time here in Buffalo? 1236 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 1: I know you start, nobody knows, I know how it goes, 1237 01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,160 Speaker 1: Nobody knows who you are. Then all of a sudden, 1238 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,720 Speaker 1: it's like you can't you can't. You know, you can't 1239 01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:38,919 Speaker 1: walk off the field without two guys jumping on your back. 1240 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 1: How has it gone for your progression learning how to play? 1241 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 1: When you are starting to be the focus of some 1242 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:50,560 Speaker 1: game plans? Uh? You know a lot of film studying, 1243 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 1: never know how another team's running attack me or whatever 1244 01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,480 Speaker 1: with the teams or tribute team. So right now it's 1245 01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 1: big on film study, trying to beat those things. Time 1246 01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 1: here still make plays when you know guys are really 1247 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, doing that, it's hard to I noticed this 1248 01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 1: too back in the day. It's hard to find good 1249 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 1: film because it's hard to see another team play anybody 1250 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,280 Speaker 1: else like they play you on game day because you 1251 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do because they don't play 1252 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 1: anybody like you. You're right, Steve, And that's why sometimes 1253 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,440 Speaker 1: I come to you for you know, some of some 1254 01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 1: of the stuff. You know that from what you did 1255 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,480 Speaker 1: and what you learned, so it's kind of you know, 1256 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard. So when I go on feel 1257 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, you know something's coming. But when 1258 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 1: something to come and see, try to see how you're 1259 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 1: gonna beat it or whatever. So if one relp, I 1260 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 1: get it and they come get me or whatever, so 1261 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 1: next rup, I come back and try to mix it 1262 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 1: up and try to you know, take some off top, 1263 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 1: but it's always gonna be something new, so I can't 1264 01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 1: get you know, I really can't do well on what 1265 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 1: they do I gotta really work on what I'm going 1266 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 1: for my next rep. What if? What if you found 1267 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 1: Suran through the course of the season though, in terms 1268 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 1: of how teams have played you in Taiwan, because you 1269 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 1: know Taiwan's been in the league a while, he's got 1270 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: a reputation. You're a guy who's making a reputation for yourself. 1271 01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 1: How have you seen most of the opponents play you? 1272 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 1: Two guys on the outside covering punts? Oh? Man, I 1273 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: haven't seen everything. Uh, I've seen vices. I've seen vices 1274 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 1: with a late bracket, and even versus the Chiefs. I've 1275 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 1: seen a triple team only one time. So you know 1276 01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 1: it's always gonna be something new. I ain't seen late ballards, 1277 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, trap blocks and all that stuff, So you 1278 01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,400 Speaker 1: know it's just something new. Every game you beat one thing, 1279 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 1: something else don't come. You beat a team, another trap 1280 01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 1: block gonna come. So it's always gonna be sample. What 1281 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 1: is the what are the early thoughts about the Colts 1282 01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 1: coming in? Um? You know they got some athletes as well, 1283 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 1: and they're a really good football team from top to bottom. Oh, 1284 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 1: they're great football team. To talk about them their opponent, 1285 01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 1: they are really you know, really good on that side 1286 01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,040 Speaker 1: of the ball, you know what I'm saying. In any 1287 01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 1: you know aspect or whatever. The professionals US team. You know, 1288 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,320 Speaker 1: this US team got some you know, all pro guys. 1289 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: You know some guys that you know that been doing 1290 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: really good job with them too as well. So I 1291 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 1: know throughout this whole game is gonna be a physical battle. 1292 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,320 Speaker 1: Mno imano. But I feel like, you know, with all 1293 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 1: guys are over here, you know we're gonna we can 1294 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,880 Speaker 1: get the job done. I know. I don't have to 1295 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,280 Speaker 1: tell you Saran that the big reason they won their 1296 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 1: game last week was because of a block punt that 1297 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,959 Speaker 1: they scooped up and returned for a touchdown. How quickly 1298 01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,840 Speaker 1: does that raise the antenna on your radar when you 1299 01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,320 Speaker 1: see that on film?

Next. What was the let's go back a 1313 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. What was the vibe during that run 1314 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,760 Speaker 1: up to the Jet game in the aftermath of having 1315 01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:24,840 Speaker 1: such a rough day in Jacksonville, Oh, having a rough 1316 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 1: than Jacksonville. I feel like we watched the film on that. 1317 01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 1: You know, we knew what we messed up at and 1318 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, we know when we you know, do something wrong, 1319 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 1: we beat ourselves. So we really didn't focus on what 1320 01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 1: we did, you know, the Jacksonville and how you know 1321 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, the loss we did that, we watched 1322 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:45,640 Speaker 1: the film, we got about it and focus on the 1323 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 1: next opponent and knowing what we had to do to 1324 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, get the big So Seran, I know that, 1325 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, top flight special teamers talk to other top 1326 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,599 Speaker 1: flight special teamers around the league. But George Odom, who's 1327 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:00,880 Speaker 1: like a really good player for them on special teams, 1328 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,120 Speaker 1: he's also got to play safety right now due to injuries. 1329 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,639 Speaker 1: So he's got a pretty heavy workload. So you think 1330 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:09,680 Speaker 1: there might be something you guys can take advantage of. 1331 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Get him breathing a little hard on defense. Tell your 1332 01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,240 Speaker 1: offensive guys, hey, work this guy on a twelve play drive. 1333 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: So when we get on special teams, he's already dog 1334 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,599 Speaker 1: tired when he's lining up against us. Yeah, tell Josh, 1335 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:25,920 Speaker 1: get those long drives going this week. Number thirty right, yeah, yeah, 1336 01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,759 Speaker 1: thirty right, yeah, yeah. I mean he's a great player, 1337 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,280 Speaker 1: and now you know, defense answers the team. But you know, 1338 01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 1: just like we played him last year, you know, I 1339 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,639 Speaker 1: seen he had he had like you know, I don't 1340 01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 1: meet from getting to the to the end. You know, 1341 01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,439 Speaker 1: from warm up, you know, he's looking at me and 1342 01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 1: all that stuff. He told me like, yeah, it's gonna 1343 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,479 Speaker 1: be a long day for you and this that we 1344 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 1: know who kind of pay you is. But you know 1345 01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm a good player too, that what he told me. 1346 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 1: But I know it's gonna be a good matchup or whatever. 1347 01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,080 Speaker 1: But it is what it is. I know we're good 1348 01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 1: on all side. I'm good on my side, So it 1349 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,639 Speaker 1: is what it is. So let's do it. So when 1350 01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 1: you when you look at this Colts team and I 1351 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,679 Speaker 1: know this too. You you're trying to get the edge 1352 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 1: and fuel position. You're trying to you know, with Tyler 1353 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 1: Bass and that, and this looks has the looks of 1354 01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 1: a game that's gonna come down to a one score game. 1355 01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 1: And this year, unlike last year the Bills went six 1356 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,519 Speaker 1: and one in one score games, this year you're oh 1357 01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 1: and three. All three losses have been by one score 1358 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 1: and the other games, the wins have all been by 1359 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:28,559 Speaker 1: double digits almost. So what do you need to think 1360 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 1: about in a game of this magnitude when you know 1361 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 1: at any moment it's gonna it's gonna come down to 1362 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 1: one score game. What kind of mindset do you walk 1363 01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,720 Speaker 1: on the field with and and and carry with you 1364 01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:44,960 Speaker 1: throughout the week about a game like that? Well, oh, 1365 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,120 Speaker 1: just like leading into the you know, the Kansas City game. 1366 01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,920 Speaker 1: I know Special Team's gonna be big this game. It's 1367 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 1: gotta be big. We gotta know, that's one thing we 1368 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:55,240 Speaker 1: talked about. But we gotta start a game more takeaways 1369 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 1: in our room too. You know, you got the offense 1370 01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:59,400 Speaker 1: and defense, you know, doing anything scoring and taking the 1371 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 1: ball with I feel like it's time for you know, 1372 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,160 Speaker 1: the special team stepping up from notch and I know 1373 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 1: SPUSI team will be big in this game, you know, 1374 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 1: with field positions and making them drive along the field 1375 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:10,920 Speaker 1: and all the little stuff you know that people don't 1376 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 1: think about outside of the field. But Special Team is 1377 01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,240 Speaker 1: gonna be used this game. And I feel like if 1378 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:16,680 Speaker 1: we take it up a knock and we take it 1379 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,920 Speaker 1: to a next level, I feel like we'll said set 1380 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,559 Speaker 1: up offensive defense for a great game. Listen, Surran, thanks 1381 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: very much for the time. We appreciate you joining us 1382 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 1: right off the practice field. Go hit the showers, and 1383 01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,760 Speaker 1: good luck showing out on Sunday. Thanks Suran, thank you, 1384 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 1: good luck. All right, that's Surrand Neil joining us here. 1385 01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 1: People see him and mostly times people think about Surrand 1386 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:39,639 Speaker 1: when he flashes on the screenplaying defense you know where 1387 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,200 Speaker 1: you get in for player two or you know, playing 1388 01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:46,400 Speaker 1: the slot once in a while. Right, um, let me 1389 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,080 Speaker 1: tell you the guy is one of the core Special 1390 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,360 Speaker 1: teamers that go out there weekend, week out and play 1391 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,280 Speaker 1: all four core special teams field goal I mean punt, 1392 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 1: punt return, kickoff, kickoff return, and he gets a lot 1393 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,760 Speaker 1: of attention. Well him in Taiwan, I mean those are 1394 01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,519 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good comment. He and Taiwan. He and 1395 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,360 Speaker 1: Taiwan are really good players because they're athletic. For one thing, 1396 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:10,360 Speaker 1: they can do a lot of stuff. But they also 1397 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,760 Speaker 1: they also carry a great deal of speed and give 1398 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,879 Speaker 1: you some speed and some physicality on your your coverage 1399 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,519 Speaker 1: and your return teams. And they're versatile, you know you, 1400 01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,680 Speaker 1: I mean what Taiwan could be in He could be 1401 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,280 Speaker 1: a personal protector or a tackle or a wing on 1402 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,640 Speaker 1: punt team, and then he can also be an R 1403 01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,680 Speaker 1: four R five on kickoff team where you go down, 1404 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,680 Speaker 1: you take on a double or whatever and make him 1405 01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:33,920 Speaker 1: find you. I think one of the things about special 1406 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:39,040 Speaker 1: teams is even on kickoff coverage that special teams coordinators 1407 01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,519 Speaker 1: will do once in a while, particularly if they think 1408 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna get a return, if they're gonna tell their guy, hey, 1409 01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna let him return that. Like, for instance, you 1410 01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,240 Speaker 1: know you're gonna get a return when you get a 1411 01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,280 Speaker 1: personal foul against the other team on the two point 1412 01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,200 Speaker 1: conversion or the touchdown, they're gonna enforce it. On the 1413 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,519 Speaker 1: kickoff you're kicking from the fifty instead of the thirty five, 1414 01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 1: or vice versa. If you're gonna kicking from your twenty 1415 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,400 Speaker 1: one instead of you know, the thirty five. But if 1416 01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:05,080 Speaker 1: you're kicking from the fifty, you want you tell your 1417 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,080 Speaker 1: kicker listen, we want him to return this. You're gonna 1418 01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 1: kick this high in the air, put it outside the between, 1419 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 1: out to the numbers to give the guy, you know, 1420 01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,120 Speaker 1: a one way go, and put it in the air 1421 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,519 Speaker 1: a long way so by the time he catches it 1422 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,720 Speaker 1: and hang it up, you're only starting. You got a 1423 01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:21,559 Speaker 1: fifteen yard head start, and you're gonna get him inside 1424 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 1: the ten, certainly inside the fifteen. When you do that, 1425 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 1: you can special teams coordinas will start to move their 1426 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,720 Speaker 1: really good players around on their coverage team. Instead of 1427 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:34,360 Speaker 1: lining up at the R four, you rind up at 1428 01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 1: the L three. So what that forces the return team 1429 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,120 Speaker 1: to do is they spend all weeks saying, Okay, when 1430 01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,800 Speaker 1: our boy comes down the R three, we're gonna double 1431 01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,000 Speaker 1: team him. Double team does So then they get up 1432 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 1: it's like, what where is it he's at the r's 1433 01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,960 Speaker 1: at He's not the L four, He's at the R three. WHOA, 1434 01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:51,639 Speaker 1: what are we gonna you know that kind of thing. Yeah, 1435 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,360 Speaker 1: and you know he farwell has done a really nice 1436 01:14:56,439 --> 01:15:00,160 Speaker 1: job of doing that. He deploys these guys really well. 1437 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:04,559 Speaker 1: And I and He's right and Saran's not right. The 1438 01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:06,960 Speaker 1: offense has been playing really well, defense has been playing 1439 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,040 Speaker 1: really well. And as a special team's core guy, take 1440 01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,559 Speaker 1: it from me, you're looking for a chance to slash. 1441 01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,360 Speaker 1: You want to splash, and I know Taiwan and Saran 1442 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:18,800 Speaker 1: or thinking that coming into a game like this. All right, 1443 01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,680 Speaker 1: we have to take a break here, but when we 1444 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,600 Speaker 1: come back, we will get some comment from some of 1445 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 1: the other players that have made their way off the 1446 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,479 Speaker 1: field that are addressing the media. We will make them 1447 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,200 Speaker 1: available to you when we return here. On One Bill's Live, 1448 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,320 Speaker 1: presented by a Lot of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. 1449 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:47,560 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back One Bill's Live, Chris Brown's newcaster 1450 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 1: with you as always, and time for us to now 1451 01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:57,000 Speaker 1: go to the fieldhouse. Practice took place indoors today and 1452 01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:00,840 Speaker 1: we have one Gabriel Davis addressing the hear so let's 1453 01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:04,439 Speaker 1: turn and listen into GAPE. In the last decade or so, 1454 01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 1: in sports, basketball, football, it's all about efficiency, right like, 1455 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,639 Speaker 1: and you know how many shots you take, how many 1456 01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 1: you know percentages? Three catches, one hundred yards. I mean, 1457 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,600 Speaker 1: you were about as efficient as you can be. You 1458 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 1: kind of pride yourself I'm being able to make that 1459 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,000 Speaker 1: kind of impact on a limited number of opportunities. Yeah, 1460 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,439 Speaker 1: I feel like it's a it's definitely a hard situation 1461 01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,120 Speaker 1: to be in to be able to just you know, um, 1462 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,000 Speaker 1: not get as not get that many rest, but still 1463 01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:29,720 Speaker 1: have to go out there and execute and such. You know, 1464 01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,760 Speaker 1: big opportunities like that that I was able to execute on. 1465 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm just obviously just happy I was 1466 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 1: able to come down with all those balls and make 1467 01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,479 Speaker 1: this place that you've gotten better at over your time 1468 01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,519 Speaker 1: because you went from being the primary target in college 1469 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:45,519 Speaker 1: to just got to get what I can get in 1470 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:47,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Is it it gotten easier or has 1471 01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:51,760 Speaker 1: it gotten more challenging because you want more? Um, you know, 1472 01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:53,240 Speaker 1: I feel like we're all competitors and we all want 1473 01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 1: to be out on the field more. We all want 1474 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: to play. So when you're out on the side, um, 1475 01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 1: you do you know it's to be out there, um. 1476 01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:00,760 Speaker 1: But at the end of day, the way to get 1477 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 1: out there is if you're making plays when you are 1478 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,479 Speaker 1: out there. No matter how many times you get out there, 1479 01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,200 Speaker 1: So the fact that I was able to go out 1480 01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,040 Speaker 1: on that field on Sunday with the refs that I 1481 01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,920 Speaker 1: had and make those plays. You know, it's big for 1482 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:13,320 Speaker 1: me when you look at your you know, the success 1483 01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 1: you had as a rookie, and you know the touchdown 1484 01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,720 Speaker 1: catches all of that, and then you come into year 1485 01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,439 Speaker 1: two and it's maybe not exactly just a straight line 1486 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,799 Speaker 1: going up right in terms of your playing time and production, 1487 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 1: at least the first half of the season. So it's 1488 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,720 Speaker 1: that kind of what you're referring to there, and in 1489 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:30,960 Speaker 1: terms of just maybe the mental challenge of when those 1490 01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,400 Speaker 1: opportunities aren't quite as frequent as you'd hope they'd beat. Yeah, 1491 01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,000 Speaker 1: I mean again, I say this all the time. Again, 1492 01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:38,879 Speaker 1: all of us guys are out there, were big time competitors. 1493 01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 1: We want to be out on the field. We all 1494 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:41,519 Speaker 1: feel like we're the best eleven to go out there 1495 01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,680 Speaker 1: and make the plays, and not being out there as 1496 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,559 Speaker 1: much as I would like to be out there does 1497 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:52,200 Speaker 1: make me, you know, again, feel feel a little a 1498 01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:53,880 Speaker 1: little out of place sometimes when I'm out there on 1499 01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 1: the syline. But again, there's a couple guys in the 1500 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,240 Speaker 1: same position that I'm in, and you just have to 1501 01:17:58,240 --> 01:17:59,360 Speaker 1: go out there and next you at the end of 1502 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,439 Speaker 1: the day, do you think a game like that where 1503 01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 1: you put up a hundred yards in a single quarter, 1504 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,960 Speaker 1: do you feel like, I mean, that's making as strong 1505 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 1: as a statement as you can possibly make. Um, it 1506 01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 1: was just one game, So just have to keep doing 1507 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,439 Speaker 1: it consistently when I keep going in there and getting 1508 01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,240 Speaker 1: the opportunities to make the play. That's stuffun and even 1509 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 1: a manual about the challenges of not being regularly involved. 1510 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,639 Speaker 1: How have they helped guide you through this season and 1511 01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,600 Speaker 1: not getting maybe the opportunities that that you were hoping for. 1512 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 1: You know, everybody has to wait the wait their turn 1513 01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:34,519 Speaker 1: in this league, and you know that's that's the biggest 1514 01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,000 Speaker 1: thing I can take from them is I just have 1515 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 1: to wait my turn. They're great guys. M When they're 1516 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:39,760 Speaker 1: out there, I have off all confidence they are going 1517 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,800 Speaker 1: to make every single play when the ball is in 1518 01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,200 Speaker 1: the air. So you know, just have to wait my 1519 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:45,720 Speaker 1: turn and wait my time to be able to get 1520 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,200 Speaker 1: out there. Successful veterans though, I mean, they give us 1521 01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,840 Speaker 1: a lot of knowledge and stuff like that every week. 1522 01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 1: To have people like that of that stature guide you 1523 01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,760 Speaker 1: through this how has that helped you not accept it 1524 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 1: but handle it. Yeah. I mean Dig is like a 1525 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 1: big bro. So he always helps me throughout this process 1526 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,400 Speaker 1: every single week, um, how to keep my mind straight 1527 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 1: and everything. But you know, even having E here, it 1528 01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:09,679 Speaker 1: was a big was a big jump for me because 1529 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,720 Speaker 1: he taught me something, um, a couple of weeks ago 1530 01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,599 Speaker 1: that kind of changed my game. Um, and I thank 1531 01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,160 Speaker 1: him a lot for that. It was just one little 1532 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:18,760 Speaker 1: thing that he taught that he taught me he likes 1533 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,720 Speaker 1: to do that I added to my game and I've 1534 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:24,160 Speaker 1: definitely gotten way more successful with it. Great secret that 1535 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,479 Speaker 1: you can't Yeah, it's a secret, you know, I can't 1536 01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,679 Speaker 1: tell anybody, but um, he definitely helped me figure out 1537 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,400 Speaker 1: the things I need to do with the type of 1538 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,400 Speaker 1: play style that I have, and it helped me out 1539 01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:38,160 Speaker 1: a lot that he seemed me growing mentally. And that's 1540 01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,080 Speaker 1: the biggest thing that he seems from me. Who do 1541 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,040 Speaker 1: you agree with that too, because he said that that's 1542 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 1: something that they're working on. You said he seen me 1543 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 1: grow mentally. Yeah, Like the biggest thing is you seen 1544 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,240 Speaker 1: how he used this mental game? Oh yeah, of course, 1545 01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:51,320 Speaker 1: I feel like I've always knew that was my strong 1546 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 1: suit was my mental game and knowing the game and 1547 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:55,280 Speaker 1: knowing what to do when I'm out there and being 1548 01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,880 Speaker 1: able to play multiple positions and um, you know again, 1549 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:00,920 Speaker 1: not having the opportunities I wish I could have this 1550 01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 1: year was it testing my mental and it's a test 1551 01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:07,679 Speaker 1: every single week. But I continue to stay positive, stay strong, 1552 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,519 Speaker 1: and you know, say the course and trust the process. 1553 01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:11,760 Speaker 1: Look back at any of the plays you've made in 1554 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,600 Speaker 1: your career and use them obviously, I'm sure you do 1555 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,640 Speaker 1: it with motivation like, hey, I can play. And if 1556 01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:18,920 Speaker 1: that's the case, if you really look back at the 1557 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:20,640 Speaker 1: playoff game from last year, because I think if you 1558 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 1: asked a lot of Bills fans like what do you 1559 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,280 Speaker 1: remember about that game, most people would probably say all 1560 01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:27,400 Speaker 1: the catches you made on the Sidephine. I mean, I 1561 01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,200 Speaker 1: just look at it. That's my job is to make 1562 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,920 Speaker 1: the plays when the balls in the air. That's why 1563 01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,760 Speaker 1: when I get up, I'm not doing too much until 1564 01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 1: I get in the end zone, I'm not too doing 1565 01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 1: too my celebration because it's my job to do that 1566 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,559 Speaker 1: and I expect myself to do it every single time. 1567 01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,920 Speaker 1: So looking back definitely is great to have, you know, 1568 01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,479 Speaker 1: look back and know I can make those plays and 1569 01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,680 Speaker 1: have the confidence that I can do that. Um, but 1570 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:48,320 Speaker 1: just trying to get better each and every day and 1571 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 1: continually consistently you know, making those plays times. If you 1572 01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,639 Speaker 1: watch those high leaves when I first, when I first 1573 01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,479 Speaker 1: after last year, I watched them a lot because I 1574 01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:58,760 Speaker 1: felt like, you know that that was a good rookie 1575 01:20:58,800 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 1: year I have with the people that I had on 1576 01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:01,160 Speaker 1: my team and the vets that I had in front 1577 01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:02,400 Speaker 1: of me. But still being able to get out on 1578 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:05,040 Speaker 1: the field like I did, and um, take advantage of 1579 01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:07,840 Speaker 1: the opportunity that I had. Definitely made me feel, you know, 1580 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,559 Speaker 1: real confident coming into the NFL. Got me yet people 1581 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:15,120 Speaker 1: over good Yet you had Billy nine beating I think 1582 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:19,000 Speaker 1: it was good. I mean the quarterback has so much 1583 01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,479 Speaker 1: room there if you're if you're beating your guy, you 1584 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,120 Speaker 1: got a lot of room. Really want to take this 1585 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:27,200 Speaker 1: way or that way? You know? Is that have tough? 1586 01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,920 Speaker 1: You have to read it? Or do you pretty much yet? 1587 01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 1: Or if I'm running to an area and he puts 1588 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,160 Speaker 1: he puts me in the best position and make the play. Um, 1589 01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:38,240 Speaker 1: being back, there's definitely you know, way different and and 1590 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,080 Speaker 1: and a harder job so I can't um speak on 1591 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:46,479 Speaker 1: that too much exactly. Yeah, yeah, whatever he feels his best. 1592 01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:47,680 Speaker 1: I know he's gonna put the ball in the in 1593 01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:50,080 Speaker 1: the right spot for me to make a play. Uh 1594 01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:55,240 Speaker 1: he had some good uh down block for crack. You know, 1595 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm a defensive end. Can you help the run game? 1596 01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,720 Speaker 1: Do you like? How do you approach that block? Is 1597 01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,320 Speaker 1: it you sometimes an easy block even though it's a 1598 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,320 Speaker 1: big defensive end or are you trying not to telegraph 1599 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:12,000 Speaker 1: it because I go get dum. I don't know. I 1600 01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,320 Speaker 1: take pride of my block. I've been taken pride of 1601 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,479 Speaker 1: my blocking since I was young. Um, that's the first 1602 01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 1: thing I know. My grandpa used to talk about all 1603 01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:19,600 Speaker 1: the time as well when it came to you know, 1604 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,240 Speaker 1: playing football, was blocking. And uh, I don't know. I 1605 01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:24,920 Speaker 1: just go into a different mindset that I know I 1606 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:26,880 Speaker 1: have to do my job to help this team win 1607 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:28,519 Speaker 1: and help help the running back get open. And I 1608 01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,880 Speaker 1: just take it as mindset. It don't matter how big 1609 01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: your I how strong, year I know I can fight 1610 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:35,760 Speaker 1: and win. If it's like sometimes is it easy because 1611 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,120 Speaker 1: they're not looking forward? Or is it like it's sometimes 1612 01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 1: the twoe and sixty five plock guys. Oh yeah, of course.

Johnny 1628 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:44,960 Speaker 1: Greer your head referee as the Bills take on the 1629 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, and Frank Reich got in that game because 1630 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:54,280 Speaker 1: the more passive than Jim did well because the game, 1631 01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:56,759 Speaker 1: the game got away from the Colts in a hurry 1632 01:23:56,800 --> 01:24:03,080 Speaker 1: there by the by the midway point of the second quarter, 1633 01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 1: it was already twenty one to six in favor of Buffalo. 1634 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:10,559 Speaker 1: Thurman had already run in for two touchdowns. Carwell Gardner 1635 01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 1: had another on a full bank dive, and it was 1636 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 1: twenty one to six. Second half, second half. Late in 1637 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,560 Speaker 1: the second second quarter, I should say Frank Reich was 1638 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,599 Speaker 1: already in the game. I don't think Jim got hurt. 1639 01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,000 Speaker 1: He must have hes a tweet in thee or something. 1640 01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,479 Speaker 1: John Jim Kelly three to five for forty four yards. 1641 01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:35,240 Speaker 1: Frank comes in plays two plus quarters. He only goes 1642 01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,920 Speaker 1: six for seven for seventy six. Because the Bills ran 1643 01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:43,040 Speaker 1: the ball thirty eight times for two hundred and seventy 1644 01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:48,880 Speaker 1: six yards and four touchdowns, they averaged seven point three 1645 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,719 Speaker 1: yards to carry. Kenneth Davis had a seventy eight yard 1646 01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 1: touchdown run that was the longest run from scrimmage of 1647 01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,880 Speaker 1: the day. But man alive, I'd just like to get 1648 01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,120 Speaker 1: Tar kicked out of it to the tuna. Two hundred 1649 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 1: and seventy six yards on thirty eight girls. Good lord, 1650 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:09,519 Speaker 1: they threw the football twelve times. I say they we 1651 01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:12,000 Speaker 1: got the film clip, I got a chance to celebrate 1652 01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 1: one of the Kenny Davis's long touchdown run. I was 1653 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 1: in the usually jumps on the pilots, per usual, I 1654 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:22,040 Speaker 1: got in on the sideline shots. But um, it's funny 1655 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,400 Speaker 1: because I do not remember that. And ninety one, you 1656 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:29,599 Speaker 1: know it might have been was was Eric Dickerson on 1657 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:31,679 Speaker 1: that team? He might have been. This was a Week 1658 01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:35,000 Speaker 1: six game they might have because I remember one game 1659 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,680 Speaker 1: they came to Buffalo, Eric Dickerson was not active. Okay, 1660 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,160 Speaker 1: all right, that'll change things. Yeah, So the starting running 1661 01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 1: back for them in this game was I think it 1662 01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:54,280 Speaker 1: was Anthony Johnson. Oh no, Kenny Clark, Any, Kenny Clark, Okay, 1663 01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,040 Speaker 1: Keith Clark maybe yeah. Forty six to what was it? 1664 01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:01,519 Speaker 1: Forty two to sixty two to six? Their only scores 1665 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 1: came via Dean Biasucci field goals of twenty six and 1666 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:09,080 Speaker 1: twenty nine yards. They did have an eighteen play seventy 1667 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:13,559 Speaker 1: two yard drive, but it stalled just inside the red zone. 1668 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,559 Speaker 1: They had liked it to kick a field goal. At 1669 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,599 Speaker 1: that point, it was only fourteen nothing, So all right, 1670 01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,559 Speaker 1: old school thinking, I get it. Seventy nine thousand and 1671 01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:25,200 Speaker 1: fifteen on hand for this glorious blowout of a game 1672 01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 1: that was a divisional game back then. It was yeah, 1673 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 1: the old AFC. He's had five teams back then. Interception 1674 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:36,800 Speaker 1: in the game for the Colts. Scott Radissick had an 1675 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 1: interception for the Colts in that game. How about that. 1676 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 1: He's a he's a candidate for Taskers team mate. There 1677 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 1: you go. I'll have to try to get a hold 1678 01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,200 Speaker 1: of him at some point and I'll guess him first. 1679 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,280 Speaker 1: Ron Stark the punter for the Colts back then. Yeah, 1680 01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,639 Speaker 1: I played with and again. I played with and against 1681 01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 1: rum Ron I played with in the Pro Bowl a 1682 01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:55,760 Speaker 1: couple of times. Spelled at ro o h n if 1683 01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:59,120 Speaker 1: like John Yeah with an arms. I always found that 1684 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,519 Speaker 1: interested the weirdest thing ever. Man, there's some good names 1685 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:06,680 Speaker 1: in here though. Clarence for Dan, Clarence for Dan. Dan 1686 01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:08,639 Speaker 1: one of the few NFL players you'll ever come across. 1687 01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:15,240 Speaker 1: Was way smaller than me. Yeah he was, yeah, oh yeah, 1688 01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,560 Speaker 1: he was like Clarence, waited like he weighed like a 1689 01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:21,519 Speaker 1: match stick. I remember we used to he used to be. 1690 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:23,400 Speaker 1: He was one of those guys that would return the ball. 1691 01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,519 Speaker 1: He'd catch it and start going side and just trying 1692 01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:28,559 Speaker 1: to run around like like playing tag almost right. He 1693 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 1: would go backwards and forwards and he'd do it and 1694 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,519 Speaker 1: then he would like find his create and go the distance. 1695 01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:36,439 Speaker 1: You know. So his guys in front of him, all 1696 01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:38,200 Speaker 1: they did was just don't take a penalty, get in 1697 01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,680 Speaker 1: front of somebody, because he was really and he just 1698 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:44,000 Speaker 1: keep going back. He'd like lose twenty yards and then 1699 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:45,800 Speaker 1: just find to see him and you know, like you 1700 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:48,640 Speaker 1: see kids doing high school. Clarence did that. So we 1701 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 1: were playing him one time in the RCA Dome and 1702 01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:55,599 Speaker 1: Bruce de Haven, special teams coach for us, said, hey, guys, 1703 01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 1: we want to attack him. We want him to go 1704 01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,200 Speaker 1: side to side. We wanted to lose ground. We'll see 1705 01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,439 Speaker 1: if we can gain some artage and just keep him 1706 01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:04,679 Speaker 1: hemmed in. Don't take your shot on him, just break 1707 01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:08,840 Speaker 1: down and let him dance around. So I coming down 1708 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,080 Speaker 1: and I do just that. I cut back inside of 1709 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,080 Speaker 1: the double team and got right face up on him, 1710 01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 1: right in front of him. Usually come in from one side, 1711 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,160 Speaker 1: and I contained him. I got right in front of him. 1712 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:20,360 Speaker 1: He started a dance around, and we did just did 1713 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:25,639 Speaker 1: exactly what we're Mark Pike came through the crowd, grabbed 1714 01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,680 Speaker 1: and grabbed him all like both arms, all the way 1715 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:31,080 Speaker 1: around his arms, had the ball in his arms, everything 1716 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:37,640 Speaker 1: like down and just totally Rane suplexed him. Yeah, we 1717 01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:39,680 Speaker 1: didn't see. We didn't see Clarence. The rest of the day. 1718 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,439 Speaker 1: They had one return in the game for nineteen yards 1719 01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,960 Speaker 1: on a kickoff. He could that was it. Believe me, 1720 01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:50,439 Speaker 1: he could go. Interceptions Kirby Jackson, Nate Odams each with 1721 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:52,799 Speaker 1: a pick apiece. Thurman ran for one hundred and seventeen 1722 01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:56,479 Speaker 1: yards on twenty carries touchdowns. Kenneth Davis nine for one 1723 01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,760 Speaker 1: oh eight, most of which came on the seventy eight 1724 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:03,360 Speaker 1: yard run from Jeff George and Jack Trudeau, both played quarterback. 1725 01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,960 Speaker 1: That may be one of the few fewest times the 1726 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,680 Speaker 1: Bills have ever thrown the football twelve twelve pass attempts. 1727 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,240 Speaker 1: That's right up there with the Thanksgiving game that oj 1728 01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 1: had right when they only threw it like ten or 1729 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 1: twelve times.
