Speaker 1: Bills and the New England Patriots, and that gets us

00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: to our Twitter poll. That gets us to our topic

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: of discussion today. It is a Twitter poll today. I

67
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: don't know from you about this matchup Bills and the Patriots. Look,

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: we know, we know the Bills are heavy underdogs in

69
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: this game, big home underdogs, which I know for many

70
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: gamblers is kind of a red flag. I don't know

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: from you. What's the Bill's best chance at springing an

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: upset against the Patriots on Sunday. We know it's a

73
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: long shot. We all acknowledge that we did not put

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: up as an option no chance, because there is a chance, right,

75
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: We've seen that, not just from the Bills, but from

76
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: teams all over the NFL. What's the Bill's best chance

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: for upsetting the Patriots? Give us a call and let's

78
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: discuss eight oh three five fifty the number to call

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: toll free from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five

80
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty, or you can do it on Twitter.

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: You can on our Twitter poll or send in a

82
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: message on for the tweet sheet. What's the Bill's best

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: chance at up sending the Patriots? You've got over four

84
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: hundred votes in cast so far, and right now, sixty

85
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: one percent of you say the best chance for the

86
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Bills would be multiple turnovers by the Patriots, So that

87
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: could happen. That could happen. Twenty percent of you say

88
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: the return to the strong defense that the Bills demonstrated

89
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: for about a four and a half game stretch. That

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: would be big for the Bills. Nine percent of you

91
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: say huge performance by the Buffalo run game, which is possible. Really,

92
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: the Bills ran the ball effectively last Sunday one hundred

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: and thirty five yards on the ground against the Colts.

94
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: They'll need more than that. Who knows if they get

95
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy back to add to that run gay performance.

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: Ten percent have something else in mine. Lines are open.

97
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: Give us a call. What's the Bill's best chance at

98
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: upsetting the Patriots? Let us know what you think. Eight

99
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,000

101
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. We know it's a

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: long shot. Don't bother with that. I know we'll get

103
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: the usual tweets. No chance, hahaha, this is ridiculous. Fine,

104
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and tweet a way. We're not going to

105
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: deal with that. If the Bills should upset the Patriots.

106
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Long chatted as it is, what do you think would

107
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: be the path towards that upset? Give us a call

108

Speaker 1: at eight oh three five fifty or two three one

109

00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: live right now from practice reporting live sports director at

114
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: w ro OCTV and Rochester Channel eight. Our co host

115
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: today Thad Brown. Thad, good afternoon, Welcome to the show,

116
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: and thanks for being out there practice for us today,

117
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: birth Thanks for having me on. I appreciate it. Man,

118
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: not a bad day at all, not that cold at all,

119
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: very comfortable, even though it's you know, late October. We'd

120
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: like it a little warmer, but we'll deal for this. Yeah.

121
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: So the Bills are out there getting set to go.

122
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: This is, you know, as they're doing in the NFL.

123
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: This would be the typical Thursday practice day, which is

124
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: typically for the Bills, a longer bit of practice. And

125
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: most people are wondering about the status of Shady Lashawn McCoy,

126
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: who was limited yesterday. What can you tell us about

127
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: McCoy in the early stage of practice here? What does

128
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: that look like? Well, the big thing to start with

129
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: a Lashawn McCoy is still wearing the red non contact

130
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: jersey he wore yesterday as well, still as far as

131
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: we know, in concussion protocol. And you know, with these

132
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: types of injuries, it's impossible to predict when a guy

133
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: might return. He might be back tomorrow, he might be

134
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: cleared this affternoon, it might be a week or two.

135
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: But the one thing we can tell you still in

136
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: the red non contact jersey. So it would appear that

137
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: he is likely to be limited in practice again today,

138
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: probably the same exact status he had on yesterday. Yeah,

139
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: who knows how the Bills will play this, right, they could,

140
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: as you say, take it right through tomorrow's practice and

141
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow will be a full practice today, the typical Friday practice.

142
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: They could take it through a Sunday if they wanted to,

143
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: the day before the game. Eventually, he will need a

144
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: final official clearance from the team's medical staff and an

145
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: independent neurological observer. I'm sure the Bills had that on

146
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: the schedule, at least that examination on the schedule sometime

147
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: over the next few days, and we probably won't know

148
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: whether he's going to return or not until I would

149
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: think the weekend, tomorrow or Sunday. Obviously, he would have

150
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: a key role to play in Buffalo's game against the Patriots,

151
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: right Oh, there's no doubt if they get Lashaw McCoy

152
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: on the field. I mean, he's the guy that can

153
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: still you know, even clearing thirty years old. He could

154
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: be a game changer. He could be a guy that

155
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: can dominate offensively and you know, really help the Bills

156
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: control the ball. And you know, in terms of what

157
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about with having him cleared, the fact that

158
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: he is out here and you know, practicing amongst the

159
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: loud music, with the lights, guys who have you know,

160
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: very bad concussion symptoms can be required to be in

161
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: a dark, quiet room for you know, days and hours

162
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: on end. So the fact again that he's out here

163
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: practicing day after day is a positive sign. But still

164
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: the red non contact jersey for today. There is always

165
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: an abundance of caution when it comes to head injuries

166
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: now in the NFL, and I'm sure that's where the

167
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: Bills are at with Shady. Obviously, you don't want to

168
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: expose him the stuff that would make his concussion linger

169
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: or to prolong the effects of that concussion. But I

170
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: do think there'll probably be an extra careful knowing that

171
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: this is a guy McCoy who does not need a

172
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: ton of practice reps to get ready to play right

173
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: at this point of his career. Don't you agree that?

174
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no doubt about that. And Shan McCoy has

175
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: seen it all, he's done it all. You know, he

176
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: knows how to get himself ready for a game. And

177
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think certainly being a Monday night gained

178
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: this week is going to be a benefit that gives

179
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: him an extra day to rest, an extra day to

180
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: get right. And so you know, I think the Bills

181
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: are handling this the right way, and I don't think

182
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy will be pushed back in the lineup. He

183
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: will come back when he is healthy and ready to go.

184
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: And the good news is this sad and you watch

185
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: his team, you'd go to the games home. In a way,

186
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: they have more than capable backups. I think in Chris

187
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: Ibrey and even in Marcus Murphy, you need Shady. You'd

188
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: love to have Shady, but if he cannot go, those

189
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: two behind him run pretty well. In fact, they demonstrated

190
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: that last week against the Colts. I thought I thought

191
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory had a fantastic game lashing against Indianapolis. He

192
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: was pushing the pile, finding good holes and he made

193
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: some of those plays on his own. So there's no

194
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: doubt this is a guy that liked Leshawn. You know,

195
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: he's been around the block. He knows what to expect

196
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: from the NFL. You don't need to, you know, indoctrinate

197
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: the what's going on. So, yes, they're capable. And I

198
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: like Marcus Murphy too, But there's only one Lashawn McCoy.

199
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: And you know one thing I like about watching the Bills,

200
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, reviewing games, watching it on film, there's always

201
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: two or three plays that only Leshawn McCoy can make.

202
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: The jitterbug cuts the way he's able to find space

203
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: when there isn't any And as much as I like

204
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: what Chris Ivvery did last week, in the future for

205
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Murphy again, when you have Leshawn McCoy, he's a

206
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: one of a kind, and if the Bills can't get

207
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: him out of the field, he can be the kind

208
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: of guy that can swing things in their favorite Monday Night.

209
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts were on the We're

210
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: talking with Than Brown, by the way, sports director at

211
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: w r OCTV and Rochester. He's co hosting today. He's

212
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: out on the practice field right now as the Bills

213
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: Thursday and practice begins on this Friday. I want to

214
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on Chris Ivory for a second though

215
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: that and I know the Patriots will be ready for this,

216
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: But I do think Chris Ivory is viewed by many

217
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: people as in between the tackles thumper type of running back.

218
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: But when he gets outside, I think he shocks people

219
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: with his quickness and his speed, and maybe the Bills

220
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: can take advantage of some of that this game against

221
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: doing them on Monday Night. What do you think, Yeah,

222
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: that's a guy I agree that people think of him

223
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: as being just a thumper of line third and one

224
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: type back. He's not that. He's got deceptively good speed.

225
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: He's always, you know, going back to his career with

226
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Jaguars, been a guy that can

227
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, break the thirty and forty and fifty yards

228
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: And we saw that against Indianapolis. He had the twenty

229
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: yard run on the plush side of the field. And

230
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: he's also developed into a pretty capable pass catcher. I

231
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: remember his first few years in the league. You know,

232
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: he was not a guy you considered a threat out

233
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: of the backfield. That's not the case anymore. He's not

234
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: Look now, he's not Lashawn McCoy. You know, he's not

235
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: going to be Darren Sprowles or somebody like that. But

236
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: he can make people. He can make teams pay, you know,

237
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: in the past game as well. Yeah. In fact, once then,

238
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: whenever I think about this, I think back to an

239
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: exchange I had with Chris Ivory way back in the

240
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: summer a training camp when I said to him something about, hey,

241
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you get outside and moved so well.

242
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: He got mad at me. He said, hey, I can

243
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: run outside I've done that before in the NFL. You

244
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: know what, he was right? He can get outside, he

245
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: can make people miss outside. It's a I think an

246
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: underappreciated part of his game. Yeah, and I think it's

247
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: you see the dreads, you see the size. You know,

248
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: he does like the Layla Lumber when it comes to

249
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: being a running back. But he is effective at getting

250
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: away from guys. He's not going to be a home

251
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: run here. He's not going to go seventy five yards

252
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: and you know, while you with electric speed, but for

253
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: what he needs to accomplish, he could certainly get it

254
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: done in this league. Where with the fed Brown who's

255
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: outside watching practice as the Bills get going on their

256
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: practice as they get set for New England on Monday, Hey, ed,

257
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: I was surprised a little bit because McDermot did not

258
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: mention it during his pre practice news conference. But on

259
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: yesterday's practice participationless limited work for quarterback Derek Anderson. What

260
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: do you see of and he was listed as limited

261
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: with back injuries and calf muscle injuries. What do you

262
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: even seeing him out there? And what do he anticipate

263
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: his status is going to be moving through the week

264
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: here right now Anderson looks fine. I mean he is

265
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: going through individual drills normally with the rest of the quarterbacks.

266
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: He looks. You know, it was about as good as

267
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: you would expect. The guy is thirty five. I mean,

268
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, the injury he was listed with yesterday was

269
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: calf and back, and those two things don't normally go

270
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: together too often. So as I walked by the speakers here, yeah,

271
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: I think he's just a guy who's who's thirty five

272
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: years old, who's hasn't been you know, in the league

273
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: so far this year, and has just you know, feeling

274
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: the bumps and bruises that go with, you know, being

275
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: a guy on the back end of his career. I

276
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: don't expect there to be a problem in terms of

277
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: his playing status on Monday night. You know, you do

278
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: worry about maybe if he takes a few more hits

279
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: in that game, do the Bills have to turn in

280
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: n A Peterman at some point during the game. But

281
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: in terms of being ready to go for a kickoff,

282
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be a problem for Derek Anderson.

283
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, you talk about guys who were

284
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: not mentioned by Sean McDermott early yesterday. Chris Ivory was

285
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: on that list too. He was also limited in practice yesterday.

286
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: So you know, Marcus Murphy getting a lions share of

287
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: the carries is at least on the table for Monday night. Yeah,

288
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm Anderson. Tell me if you may agree or disagree

289
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: with this that I was saying this to Tasker yesterday.

290
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: When the Bills step on the field Monday night, it'll

291
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: be just a day short of three weeks since Derek

292
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: Anderson arrived down the scene. I'm just looking for kind

293
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: of a nificant improvement, not just in his play but

294
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: in his comfort level with this offense, with what the

295
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: playbook looks like. I think three weeks in he should

296
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: have a pretty good handle on what the playbook calls

297
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: for him and have a pretty good sense of what

298
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: the Bills are looking for. For instance, last Sunday, and indeed,

299
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: the Bills had very little, if any pre snap motion

300
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: on their offensive attack. I would think they might work

301
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: some of that in against the Patriots and some more

302
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: kind of refined aspects of an NFL offense just because

303
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: Anderson's got another full week in here. What do you

304
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: do you? What do you think? What's your take? I

305
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: would think that when it comes to learning and offense,

306
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: especially when you're new to a system, it takes weeks

307
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: and months to figure it out. This is why these

308
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: guys practice in April and May and why they have

309
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: a you know, a full month of training camp in August.

310
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: So with Anderson, I don't think he's going to be

311
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: fully ready or I don't think he's going to have

312
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: ex chunk of the offense ready to go. I think

313
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: every day he's here, he's going to pick up more

314
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: and more. The benefit to a guy like Anderson because

315
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: he's thirty five, he's been in the league thirteen years,

316
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: unlike with Peterman, unlike Josh Allen, is that he's gonna

317
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: pick up everything a whole lot faster. So, you know,

318
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: whereas maybe Josh Allen would go from five percent to

319
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: ten percent in two weeks, Derek Anderson might go thirty

320
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: percent to fifty five percent in two weeks. And that's

321
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: what we're gonna see. I agree, we're gonna see a

322
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: whole lot more on Monday Night, but I would be

323
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: surprised if he's you know, anywhere close to one hundred

324
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: percent fluent on this offense, especially because it's not just

325
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: about learning, play calls, learning formations, It's about you know,

326
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: where's Calvin Benjamin gonna be on this ten yard out?

327
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: How does the Jones run this pattern? You know, what

328
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: does Dion Dawkins? How does he block on the edge?

329
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: For me, There's so many other things that go into

330
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: it that I don't think you could just pick up

331
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: in three weeks altogether. Yeah, but I do think that's

332
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: part of it what you just said, you know, familiarity

333
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: with his targets, the receivers, the way people block, the

334
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: way people run. I would think after three weeks of practice,

335
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a much better sense of what he's

336
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: walked into. I will say this too, And you've been

337
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: around Derek Anderson in the last couple of weeks rough

338
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: at that. I like his approach. I like his low key,

339
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: kind of understated approach when he steps to the podium.

340
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he was clearly affected in a bad way

341
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: by what went down in Indianapolis last Sunday, and I

342
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: thought he had kind of the right temperament this week

343
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: at the podium yesterday about you know, where he's been,

344
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do here, what his role is.

345
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: At one point, I think yesterday he said something along

346
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: the lines of, you know, let's not overthink this. I

347
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: think that's kind of a good approach to have. And

348
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: the kind of dire straits the Bills find themselves in

349
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: it right now as they approach mid season, Well, isn't

350
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: that that's a big part of why he's here, you know,

351
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: to be that guy, to be that common influence, and

352
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the different approaches. I think

353
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has done a good job of staying even

354
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: keel and approaching you know, every day is not the

355
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: end of the world. But with Josh Allen, you almost

356
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: feel like he's learning how to do it. He's almost

357
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: got to push himself or force himself to stay even keel.

358
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: With Derek Anderson, he is in mine. You know, nothing's

359
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna face him, and he's gonna come out and he's

360
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: gonna be himself. He's gonna be loose and comfortable. And

361
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: I think for Josh Allen to see that approach, to

362
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: see that, you know, yeah, you're gonna lose by thirty two.

363
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: No one likes that. Everybody's gonna be unhappy about it,

364
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: but you're gonna come back the next week in order

365
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: to practice, and you're gonna attacked everything the same way

366
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: you did the week before, not upset, not out of control.

367
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna be yourself. You're gonna be the way you

368
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: want to go about this, play the game your way,

369
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: and not be you know, bothered by the way last

370
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: week with Yeah, Dad Brown is with us our co

371
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: host today from w r OCTV and Rochester covers the

372
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: Bills on a regular basis. He's out of practice the

373
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: early stages of the Bills that practice today a couple

374
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: of days before they get set to play the New

375
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: England Patriots on Monday night in the New Airfield. Well,

376
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson getting used to those receivers and those receivers

377
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: have to produce more with that. It's it's pretty obvious,

378
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: you know. One of the biggest failings of the Bills

379
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: has not just been the quarterback play, but the receiving

380
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: play they received the play of the whole group. They

381
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: don't really have a guy they can rely on. Zay

382
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: Jones has made some plays over the last few weeks,

383
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's something that will change

384
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: that the trade deadline Tuesday or what, but they need

385
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: a major upgrade in the work they're getting from those

386
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: receivers to help Anderson and Josh Allen when he returns.

387
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a major failing for those first seven

388
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: games this year. Yeah, no doubt about it. And when

389
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: you say major upgrade, you're right, And that's the kind

390
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: of thing that you're not going to handle the trade deadline.

391
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: This isn't you know, baseball or the NBA where you

392
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: can come up with, you know, two point guards of

393
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: the trade deadline or an outfield or a starter, a closer.

394
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's not enough, you know, available quality players

395
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: to really make that much of a difference. Kelvin Benjamin

396
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: did have a better game I thought against the Colts.

397
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: I think Zay Jones is improving this year. But this is,

398
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, this is a younger group for the most part,

399
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: and a group that if we're gonna stay with this

400
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: group of guys needs to do a lot improving. I think,

401
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, like you when you say major upgrade. I

402
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a whole different group of personnel

403
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: when this team shows up for next season. But for now,

404
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's no Jerry Rice walking through that door.

405
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: The group of guys they got now are gonna have

406
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Yeah, I mean they'll take much

407
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: less than a Jerry Rice, that's for sure. And I

408
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: think you know this game in particular, Dad, when you

409
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: look at who the builds are up against, it's a

410
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: Patriots secondary with all kinds of experience. Really, Gilmore and

411
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: the mccordy's Patrick Chung, Dn Harmon, these guys have played

412
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: in the league for a while. Might be the strongest

413
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: part of New England's defense. Really the experience they put

414
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: out there in the secondary. So it won't be an

415
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: easy chore for the Buffalo wide receivers. Yeah, it's exactly.

416
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: It took the words out of my mouth. I think

417
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: the secondary is maybe not only the strongest part of

418
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: that Patriots group, but really the only group that I

419
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: fear all worry about. Gilmore has been very good this year.

420
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: And you know, again go back to what we started

421
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: this conversation with about, you know where the Bills, how

422
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: they can you know attack on Monday night, Lashaw McCoy

423
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: is the answer. Go underneath, try and use Charles Clay,

424
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, with something over the middle. But you know,

425
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: run game, attack the front seven. That's probably the Bill's

426
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: best plan of offense against the Patriots. All right, what

427
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: about defense? Now, this is a New England team fad.

428
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: That is, last four games, they've won out four and

429
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: they've averaged thirty nine points scored over those last four games.

430
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: They've hit their stride offensively. And here's the interesting thing

431
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: I think about New England's New England's offense. They're not

432
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: they're lighting up scoreboards here they are, They're kind of

433
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: plugging along. I think it's the most balanced offensive attack

434
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: New England has put on the field in several years.

435
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: They throw it fifty six percent of the time. Three

436
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: years ago they threw it sixty five percent of the time.

437
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: So the Buffalo defense, I think, yes, have to be

438
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: ready for Tom Brady and the Patriots passing the attack.

439
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: But the Bill's defense, I think maybe more than that

440
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: has to be ready for a balanced attack. New England

441
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: will run it even if they don't have Sony Michelle

442
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: this week. I wonder about that. I'm not sure they

443
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: will run it as much. I think Michelle was a

444
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: big part of that run game. I know Kenyan Barner

445
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: looked okay last week, but when you lose a guy

446
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: like Michelle, I mean, James White can be effective too.

447
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots are gonna try and throw the

448
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more. You know, this is an

449
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: offense that's still growing itself in terms of getting used

450
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: to acclimating Josh Gordon into it. You've had Julian Edelman

451
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: and Rob Gronkowski around for nine years now. Gordon has

452
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: only been there for three four weeks. I think the

453
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: more Gordon gets comfortable, the more the Patriots might feel

454
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: comfortable going a little more pass happy. And you know, again,

455
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: I think Michelle being out of this game changes the

456
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: way New England wants to attack the build offensively. Really,

457
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: because they've had success now thirty nine points per game

458
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: the last four. I don't know why they would change that.

459
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: We'll find out, obviously. And the one thing we know

460
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: about the Patriots that is their approach can change on

461
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: the fly, right. They will change week to week if

462
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: they have to, and whatever it takes to get done,

463
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: they usually find a way. Jerry Hughes talked about it

464
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: yesterday too. Not only did they change week to week,

465
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: they'll change half to half and he said, you know,

466
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: whatever you see in the first half, you can forget

467
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: about it, because you're gonna get something different the second half.

468
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: Trey White, you know, back that up by saying, they'll

469
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: come out and beat you one way. You'll stop that.

470
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: Then they'll come out and beat you another way, you'll

471
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: stop that, and then they'll have a third way to

472
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: be And that's just how they go offensively. And you know,

473
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: you talked about the Patriots scoring a whole bunch of

474
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: points the last few weeks. They're averaging thirty nine points.

475
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: But it's not like they put up fifty five fifty

476
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: twenty two. They've had thirty eight points at least each

477
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: of the last four weeks. So this has been a

478
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: consistent attack in terms of being able to put big

479
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 1: numbers on the scoreboard week after week after week. It's

480
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: a heck of a chore for the Bill's defense this week, Dan,

481
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: I'm interested in Tredavious White, who won't come on the

482
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: show with us, but it sounds like you talked to

483
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: him this week and he mentioned in all of his

484
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: running with Rob Gronkowski last December that resulted in Gronkowski's

485
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: one game suspension. No, I think we last year when

486
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: that game happened three weeks before the rematch, we kind

487
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: of were able to go through all of the you know,

488
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: do you have some bad feelings for him? We're gonna

489
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: talk to him. All those questions kind of were hashed out,

490
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: so that was not discussed at all. For what I

491
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: saw or heard yesterday, I think, you know, essentially that

492
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: is almost in the past at this point. It does

493
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: bear watching, you know, during the game, but because they've

494
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: already had a game since that happened, I think we're

495
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: kind of done with that for now. All Right, Buffalo's

496
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: defense front seven, Trent Murphy not practicing yesterday. With his

497
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: knees schedule to be week to week, I'm assuming that

498
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: means more playing time coming up here this week and

499
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: maybe for a couple of weeks for Shack Lawson. Right,

500
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: what have you seen? What have you heard about that? That? Well,

501
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: Trent mur if he's not out here from what I

502
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: can tell, so, I don't think there's gonna be any

503
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: change in terms of his status. And I agree with you.

504
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: I think it'll be Shack Lawson in his place a

505
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: defensive end spot. And Lawson's been good this year, not great,

506
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: but he does flash, you know, when he gets an opportunity.

507
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't get a whole lot of snaps, So I'm

508
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: interested to see how he does with more extensive playing time.

509
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: Remember he started the year, you know, open the season,

510
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: first series of the year, it gets a pass deflection,

511
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: gets the Ravens off the field on third down, then

512
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: he gets hurt and misses some time. So this will

513
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: be an opportunity for Shack to show, you know, how

514
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: he's grown in this defense. And I'm encouraged to see

515
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: what he can do. Yeah, me too. And you know,

516
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: Shack when the season, when the Bills went to camp,

517
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: was the subject of some speculation about the possible trade,

518
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, a player from the previous regime, former first rounder.

519
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: I think he's done nothing but solidify his spot on

520
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: this roster for the first half of the season, don't you.

521
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: I agree for the short term, I agree, you know,

522
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: he's been good. He hasn't been great. I give him

523
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: a whole lot of credit because there was no one

524
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: who was more squarely in the crosshairs in terms of

525
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: having to come up with a big training camp to

526
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: keep you know, his spot on the roster, let alone

527
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play, and he has done everything the

528
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: Bills have asked of him so far, and probably a

529
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: little bit more so a ton of credit there. But again,

530
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's just a reserve player at this point.

531
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he's untouchable. It doesn't mean for sure

532
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: he's here next year. But the strides he's taken since

533
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: the start of August have been impressive. If we're going

534
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: to talk more about the trade deadline when you get

535
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: in here in the studio as our show moves along,

536
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: but in the locker room yesterday, here in the conversations

537
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: you've had with Bills players over the last week, do

538
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: you detect any jumpiness about the trade deadline? Anybody thinking

539
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: I could be out of here soon. What are you

540
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: hearing from that Buffalo locker room? Not much. I mean

541
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: most of the time when you talk about trade deadline

542
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: with these guys, they you know, they blow it off

543
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: for the most part. I mean, they just this is

544
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: part of the deal. We understand it, you know, we

545
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: understand if something changes, then we'll have to deal with it.

546
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: But I think these guys, to get to this level,

547
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: you have to be so focused on what you're doing,

548
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: concentrating on the task at hand, and not allowing yourself

549
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: to worry about anything excess, whether it be criticism. You know,

550
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: Fan appreciation or things like the trade deadline. And that's

551
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: just another thing on the list that these guys are

552
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: able to compartmentalize push away so they can focus on

553
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: what they're doing day today. Last thing I had for

554
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: you that it's kind of a sense of the locker

555
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: room question for you. I detected it yesterday when Steve

556
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: was talking to Eddie Yarbro and we had Marcus Murphy

557
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: in here in the studio yesterday. I can tell that

558
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: these players, especially these young Buffalo Bills, are getting a

559
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: little excited about playing on Monday night football. It is

560
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: still a primetime showcase for the NFL, and I think

561
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: these Bills players are kind of feeling it a little bit.

562
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: What did you pick up on that at all yesterday?

563
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: Totally agree. And the thing you forget is that the

564
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Bills did not play, you know, Monday Night last year.

565
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: So everybody who's a second year player is Ay Jones,

566
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: Trey White. These guys are all getting to play Monday

567
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: night for the first time, and they were all, I

568
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: mean top to bottom, fired up to get that opportunity

569
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: to be you know, under the lights, not just on

570
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, but on a Monday night game.

571
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: And the other thing that kind of surprised me is

572
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: how much these guys still talk about the music and

573
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: the lore of Monday And because the league is kind

574
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: of shifting away from Monday Night being the primary showcase game,

575
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: it's more than the Sunday night game. So this generation

576
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: of players is probably the last ones who will appreciate

577
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: what Monday night football is about, how special it can be,

578
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: how special it has been. You get five, six, seven

579
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: years down the road, it won't be the same thing.

580
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: It'll be about Sunday night football. But sure, these guys

581
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: here a Trey White, Za Jones, Tarren Johnson, all super

582
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: excited to play on Monday Night. I am too. Hey, fan, Thanks,

Speaker 1: in Buffalo, loved it. We'll talk with Matt Chatham at

602
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: poll up today. I want to get your response to

603
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: this question. We can do that on the telephone lines

604
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: at eight oh three oh five fifty and toll free

605
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty. Simple question.

606
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: What's the Bill's best chance at upsetting the Patriots? What

607
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: do you think? We've got? The standard Twitter smart Atocky responses,

608
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: plane crash, Brady retirement, Ha, good, But if you think

609
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: about it, stuff happens in the NFL, it's unlikely. There's

610
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: no question it's unlikely. The Bills Knockingna off to win them.

611
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: But if they did, what would be the reason? Right now?

612
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,640

631
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: It actually was a little colder than I reported earlier.

632
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: The longer you're out there, the more you feel it. Yeah,

633
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean it helps if you have pads on you're

634
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: running around, but standing there talking you was not the

635
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: warmest day. I checked the Monday night forecasts. It's gonna

636
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: rain during the day Monday, should be clear by Monday night.

637
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: The temperature going to be about thirty eight degrees some

638
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: clear skuys, so it'll probably feel a lot like it

639
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: feels out there today. Well, I have to do live

640
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: shots four or five and six, So when is that

641
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: rain ending by then or no? Well I'm not I'm expecting.

642
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: I did check the forecast. I will double check and

643
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: see what time the rain is. Apreciated Dad, thanks for

644
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: coming in. Dad's here in places. Steve Tasker's got some

645

646
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: of Kansas City Sunday. Want to go out and see

Speaker 1: to late eighties out there in Wichita, Kansas. So Steve's gone,

649
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,960

650
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming in. Now my pleasure. Appreciate it. I

651
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: know folks got a look at you and appreciated your

652
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: work on the Bills a preseason. You were the sideline

653
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: guy in the Bills preseason for what three games this season?

654
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 1: They had to be a lot of fun. I would think, Oh,

655
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: what an experience. I mean to be part of a

656
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: live NFL game broadcast. You know, you and I we

657
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: grew up in this business. You want to do, you know,

658
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: the big games, the big stories, and there's nothing bigger

659
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: than the NFL. And to be a part of a

660
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: game broadcast, even not a regular season game, was a

661
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: unique experience and something that I was glad to check

662
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: off the bucket list. And you know, for you know,

663
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: a little behind the curtain kind of stuff to be

664
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 1: in a live show. You know, a lot of what

665
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: I do is is not necessarily tape, but scripted and organized.

666
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: This is kind of your ride, seat of your pants,

667
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: whatever wherever the game takes you, a whole lot of

668
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: fun to do. Always saw people getting ready to do

669
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: the radio broadcast. It's like preparing for a big exam

670
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: when you're in school. You prepare, you think you know

671
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: what might happen, and then the test arrives or in

672
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: this case, kickoff arrives, and you have no idea what's

673
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: going to happen. Really, the best thing about that, though,

674
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: is that sometimes you get the test, it's not on

675
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: paper and you don't have pens and pencil to worry

676
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: about it. Sometimes it's a bucket of water. You gotta

677
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: figure out how to navigate around or whatever. One thing

678
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: about the sideline view and it's it's a part that

679
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: I've never really got a chance to enjoy. I mean,

680
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: all my work has been done upstairs in a broadcast booth.

681
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: I've been on the sideline in practice, and I know

682
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: that in the games, the action is amazing right where

683
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: you're down there. The speed is amazing, big people moving

684
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: to ridiculous speeds and get your attention right early early on.

685
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 1: When you're down there. You can't appreciate how much what

686
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: kind of level this game has played at unless you

687
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: see it at the sideline level. When you see these guys,

688
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: you know six four sixty five, two sixty two seventy,

689
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, running at speeds that most of us can

690
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: only imagine into each other. You know that kind of contact,

691
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: that kind of you know, strength and an ability to

692
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: make place happen on the field. It is such a unique,

693
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: such a privilege view to have one thing I do.

694
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: I've covered eighty nine one hundred games from the sideline.

695
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: Every time. At one point during the time out, I'll

696
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: look up at the stands and I'll think there are

697
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: sixty thousand people in this building with me that would

698
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: all cut off their right arm and trade spots to

699
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: me for this game. And how appreciative I am to

700
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: have that opportunity. So, and you know, one of the

701
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: things that you got to watch out for is the

702
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: players come your way. You gotta protect that camera. They

703
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: don't come back with the camera in one piece. You

704
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: don't come back see you. Well, they shouldn't exactly, you know.

705
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're there to be to record the action,

706
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: not to be a part of the action. And it's

707
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: our job to make sure, you know, we stay out

708
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: of their way, and generally it behooves us to do so.

709
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: As you said, you did sideline reporting on the Bills

710
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: for season, but you're down there shooting a lot right

711
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: for this regular season? You shoot games on the side. Yeah,

712
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm working at News eight and Rochester for

713
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: eighteen years now and when I first started there, my

714
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: primary job would be as a photographer. And it's a

715
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: whole lot of fun. You know, it's almost for us,

716
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: it's a game within a game because you want to

717
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: make sure that you capture the action as pristinely and

718
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: cleanly as possible. NFL players they dream about being Tom

719
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: Brady or Marcus Allen in the Super Bowl. We dream

720
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: about NFL films and hearing that music in the background

721
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: and watching football's rotate and slow motion through the air.

722
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: And it's a challenge to try and get those plays

723
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: and not only you know, to get him on camera properly,

724
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: but being in the right position. You know, do you

725
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: want to be behind the offense? Do you think the

726
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: defense is going to make a big play? Do you

727
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a big play down the field? Offensively?

728
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: What side of the field to be on? And it

729
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: is a fun challenge for us in the sideline to

730
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: try and you know, win the game that way. And

731
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: another way you're involved this year you are co host

732
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: with our friends from a Channel four here in Buffalo

733
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: of Buffalo Kickoff live Sundays at eleven thirty am on

734
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: w ro OC and Rochester and Channel four here and Buffalo.

735
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: It's kind of a pregame look every week. You guys

736
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: do it right them the game site. Yeah, every week

737
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: we are wherever the game is and it leads right

738
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: into the pregame show on the NFL on CBS every

739
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: week at noon, and you know it's obviously a Buffalo

740
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: Bills Central look a preview at the game. This week,

741
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna have an interview with Thurman Thomas, who's having

742
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: his jersey retired on Monday, where he talked to Kyle

743
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: Williams he's played more games against Tom Brady than anybody

744
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: else in the league. What kind of an advantage that

745
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: might provide. So it's stuff like that every week. Salcapacho's

746
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: on as well. We have discussions, we have round tables.

747
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: Tim Graham is on from the Athletics, so there's a

748
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: whole lot of voice. There's a whole lot of different perspective,

749
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: and it's a fun way to kind of get the

750
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: Bills Football Day starting. You're on this Sunday, even with

751
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: the Monday. Yeah, even with the Monday game, we're gonna

752
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: be on an eleven thirty like normal from the stadium.

753
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: But most other weeks it's US at eleven thirty, NFL

754
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: on CBS at noon, and usually Bills at one o'clock.

755
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,840

00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: for being on. Hey, I got a good photography a

766
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: story here. So I'm with Jim McCoy at the Bison's game.

767
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: They hit a ball and they hit a ball back

768
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: to the wall and the left fielder goes up and

769
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: he's sprawled out against the low suits. He's right against

770
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: the wall with his glove up in the air and

771
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: the ball hits just above his glove and I got

772
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: the camera in my hands and I'm clicking away. Man.

773
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm just I got it's like semi automatic. And I

774
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: got like fifty shots and McCoy takes them back to

775
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: the newsroom and I said, wow, they look how they look?

776
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: He said, not one of them was clear what happened.

777
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,479
Speaker 1: It's a little harder than that. Look. I have no

778
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: idea I was moving the camera or show something, but

779
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. But it's a lot

780
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: harder than it looks. And it's it's it's it's great

781
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 1: when you can capture that action. There's no question about that.

782
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: They marked The Bill does have a tough assignment this

783
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: week with the Patriots coming into town on Monday, and

784
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: I know you've been grinding video all week. As I've

785
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: looked at a couple of games. One thing strikes me

786
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: about this year's Patriots team. Mark Offensively, they seem balanced,

787
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,959
Speaker 1: maybe more balanced than I've seen in the last several years.

788
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: What do you think, Yeah, I mean, it's hard to

789
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: say that because they've been outstanding offensively, there's no question

790
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: about that. But they just they can do so many things,

791
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: and they can spread the entire field. They get five

792
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: guys out in the pattern more than any team in

793
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: the league. And I do think with if if what,

794
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: how do you pronounced that, Michael or Michelle or Michelle

795
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, Yeah, Sony. If he's playing, which he's not likely,

796
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: he's not likely. Well, he's got some great acceleration, and

797
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: I think he adds a dimension to their running game

798
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: and and a dynamic to the running game. Maybe they

799
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: haven't seen the recent years, but there's there's that. I

800
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: still think on the offensive side of the ball, they're

801
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: just it's just so polished. Everybody does their job, and

802
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: they're abrupt at the line of scrimmage. I mean everybody

803
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: they come off the line of scrimmage with just with

804
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: such velocity that they try to attack those defensive acts

805
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: and get up on top of you and then kaza

806
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: guy that spread his legs or do something or turn

807
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: and run, and then it gives you an opportunity running

808
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot of comeback routes, a lot of short and

809
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: intermediate routes quite frankly, and not as much down the field.

810
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: But they're I mean, they're an offensive juggernaut, there's no

811
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: question about that. And the thing the thing that I

812
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: noticed most prominently in my film study was I think

813
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: they're rushing the passer this year from their defensive line

814
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: perspective better than they have in a number of years.

815
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: Mark offensively, Sean McDermot talked yesterday about how much of

816
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: an inventory the Patriots have in terms of I'm assuming

817
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: a variety of plays because of how familiar a lot

818
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: of the main offensive parts are with each other. I

819
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: looked at up last night, blew me away to realize this.

820
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: But Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Tom Brady have all played

821
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: together the last nine years. It's almost unheard of in

822
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: the league. Do you notice it with the Patriots that

823
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: those three guys and obviously Edelman hasn't played a whole

824
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: lot this year, but they can do more offensively than

825
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: most teams can because of how familiar they are with

826
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, I think that's part of it. There's

827
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: no question because Tom understands. I think there's a lot

828
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: of choice ups that they have an opportunity to run,

829
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: and Tom understands what they're going to do in certain situations.

830
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean they run. I would call it this like

831
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: a like a hook slide out, because they run down

832
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: the fields five or six yards and then they just

833
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: they hook in or out depending on where the defender

834
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: is and then they'll slide away from the defender, and

835
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's going to put it there every single time.

836
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: And now it's a four yard throw, that might turn

837
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: into the six or seven or an eight yard game

838
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: if there's a defender there. If not, it might turn

839
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: into even a longer game. But yeah, the continuity, I

840
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: think continuity helps a lot of things, and certainly they've

841
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: had some of it with their offensive personnel, and I

842
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: just when they protect well, he gets rid of the

843
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: ball most of the time in under two seconds. If

844
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: it's over two seconds, he's probably looking to throw it

845
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: away or do something to preserve the next down's opportunity.

846
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: But he's not going to hang in there. He doesn't

847
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: want to take kids, of course, but but he just

848
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: he understands what's going on. They put people in situations

849
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: they're offensive personnel, and situations that create that creates an

850
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: uncomfortability from the from the defensive standpoint, I mean they're

851
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: making linebackers covering the flat, they're making safeties come down

852
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: and cover guys, and then when you're in man coverage,

853
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean they're running those choice routes so that you

854
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: think you have them covered because you've got the inside

855
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: taken up, for instance, and they're going to slide to

856
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: the outside. So they do an awful lot of things

857
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: and they do them very well, and they've got a

858
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: guy playing quarterback who is one of the all time greats.

859
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: With that question with Mark Kelso, color analysts on the

860
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: Bills Radio Network talking about Monday Night's game the Bills

861
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, you know that asks you about the

862
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: veterans on that offense. I wonder what role you've seen

863
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: them with the Josh Gordon and maybe what role your

864
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: forecast for him moving forward? Mark, what do you see

865
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: from him? Well, he's got a lot of vertical stretch

866
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: ability and he's got the ability to run that deep comeback.

867
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: You have to respect the speed and then he's going

868
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: to turn around and Tom Brady's going to have the

869
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: ball right there. The second he turns around, he has

870
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: the opportunity to run that back shoulder fade throw and

871
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: then they'll isolate him. So that's the thing that they do.

872
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: They'll overwhelm you with personnel on one side of the

873
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: field and then they'll get a mismatch on the other

874
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: side of the field. So every time you think you

875
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do pre snap unless you find

876
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: a way to confuse them. Which teams over the years

877
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: that have created that situation and kind of made tom

878
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: Brady hesitate, made him move out of the pocket a

879
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: little bit more than that he would like to. Those

880
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: are the teams that have been able to have success.

881
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: The Jets success over the years against tom Brady has

882
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: been because of those things, because they create some hesitation

883
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: from the quarterback position. If you don't create that hesitation,

884
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 1: then you it's really really difficult to defend him because

885
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: they're going to run I mean, they'll run screens that

886
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: they'll set up a screen on both sides of the field,

887
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: and tom Brady's gonna fake it two or three times

888
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: before he actually throws it to the intended receiver, and

889
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: then they have blockers out in front. So there's you've

890
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: got to do some things defensively. You've got to be

891
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: careful bringing pressure because if you're going to rush four

892
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: pass rushers, it's it's you know, it really is ineffective

893
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: to do that. You better bring more than four, or

894
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: you better bring less than for but every time you

895
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: bring four, you got four guys up at the line

896
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 1: of screamage and he's getting rid of the ball and

897
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: less than two seconds, and and it's really difficult to

898
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: have any pressure on him in that situation or find

899
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: a clean rusher. So you better be very careful rushing

900
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: four guys. And I don't think that's the most profitable

901
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: situation for your defensive scheme. Mark on the flip side

902
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: of the ball. For the Patriots, the Bills, you know,

903
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: their fans knows to find Gilmore very well. It seems

904
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: like at least the reports out of New England are

905
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: that he is getting better with the Patriots. That's a

906
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: veteran secondary murph and I talked about that earlier in

907
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: the show, specifically from Gilmore, but maybe you know, to

908
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: a larger group, to a larger extent that position group.

909
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: How good is that New England defensive backs? Yeah, I

910
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: mean I think their whole defense has a unit has

911
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: been playing really, really well. I think Jason mccordy is

912
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: a is an upgrade and a fine addition to that

913
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: defensive unit. I think there's what's the young guy Jackson,

914
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: there's a he's the kid out of Maryland. I mean,

915
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: really some real quality play. Jonathan Jones is at Auburn

916
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: and he's has some quality play and then they just

917
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: they have guys that have been doing it for a

918
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: long time and factor Jung and mccordy and i mean

919
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: Eric Rose still pretty young, but they have a really

920
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: good group on the back end. I mean sometimes they'll

921
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: put seven of them in there. I mean if it's

922
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: a if it's a down, a long down on a

923
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: third down situation and you've got eleven personnel or maybe

924
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: ten personnel with no tight ends, they may put all

925
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: seven defensive backs in there. They understand the game, and

926
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: when you talk about doing your job and just making

927
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: sure you take care of your area, they do it

928
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: very well. They understand what they need to do. They

929
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: understand where their de leverage points need to be when

930
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: they're in beverage, they understand where their help is, and

931
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: they tackle well. So when they do a lot of

932
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: things exceptionally well. I mean Steph Fung gil Moore still

933
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: doesn't like to tackle, although it just a tackle a

934
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: couple of times in the film I watched, but he's

935
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: been outstanding in coverage. And they play a lot of

936
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: man defense with that free safety and then their pressure

937
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: package of choices just to bring that extra linebacker but

938
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: they may bring the extra linebacker, but they're going to

939
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: take away a running back coming out. They're not going

940
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: to let that guy leak out of the backfield late.

941
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: They're going to hit him. They're going to use a

942
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: defensive end to chip that running back when he's coming

943
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: out so that they put their linebacker or a strong safety,

944
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, in a better position to

945
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: defend that route. They're going to take the air out

946
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: of guys coming out of the backfield, whereas if you

947
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: wait on guys coming out of the backeld, it gives

948
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: those running backs an opportunity to create some space in

949
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: those you know, about four or five yards from the

950
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. But they're not going to allow that

951
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: to happen. So I just think as a defensive unit

952
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: and what I've watched, this is the most complete unit

953
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: that I've seen from them, And and they're still getting better.

954
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: If they still got a they've still got a few

955
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: young guys. Hey, last thing, Mark, I want to get

956
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: you involved in our Twitter poll, and I know it's unlikely,

957
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: but here's the question. What's the Buffalo Bill's best chance

958
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: at upsetting the Patriots? From our Twitter responded so far,

959
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: more than twelve hundred of them. Fifty seven percent of

960
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: them say the Bill's best chance lies in creating multiple

961
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: turnovers for New England. Twenty two percent say returned to

962
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: a strong defense that the Bill's had for about four games,

963
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 1: eight percent say a huge performance by the Bill's rushing attack,

964
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: and thirteen percent have something else in mind. What do

965
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: you think what's the Bill's best chance at upsetting New England? Well,

966
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: it's look, it's when I looked at the Kansas City game.

967
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this is going to be a

968
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: long answer, right, So when I was afraid of it, Yeah,

969
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: I know, when I looked at the Kansas City game

970
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: was what are the things that the Kansas City did?

971
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: So the Bear score a lot of points against this

972
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: New England paytriot teams, but they got some they got

973
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: some turnovers, They had some special teams, some really good

974
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: special teams performances. I don't think the Bears played that

975
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: well offensively, quite frankly, I mean, I think that a

976
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: couple scrambles by Trubisky. But the Chiefs, on the other hand,

977
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: did some things because they spread this group out and

978
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: they forced them into situations where they had some personnel mismatches,

979
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: and then it was a it was a ton of

980
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: movement and and stuff that was that was happening quickly,

981
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: and they didn't let them get set. So they did

982
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: the same thing to Kansas City, did the same thing

983
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: to New England, and New England likes to try to

984
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: do everybody else. Make the defensive units thing, create a

985
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: half a step of hesitation in the defensive unit, and

986
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,280
Speaker 1: create some isolation situations. And they've got Kelsey and Tyree

987
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: gill And and Kareem Hunt. You know, we have certainly

988
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: have some good offensive personnel, but I don't think we

989
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: have the dynamic personnel the Candida City has. There's there's

990
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: that's not a question. So how are you going to

991
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: overcome that? Number One is you've got to You're gonna

992
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: have to play defensively. You talk about not giving big place,

993
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: they don't they don't care about big place. They're gonna

994
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna drive the ball and they're gonna go eleven, twelve, thirteen,

995
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: fourteen plays down the field. So you have got to

996
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: find a way to get off the field on third down.

997
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: And that again, if you're gonna rush for guys, I

998
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: think you're kind of you're you're kind of beating a

999
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: dead horse because it's like you don't affect any pressure

1000
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: that way. You got to bring extra guys or you've

1001
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: got to drop guys in passing lanes, but you still

1002
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: got to have guys covered man to man. So it's

1003
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: got to be like a two man situation with an

1004
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: extra defender that's roaming around looking at Brady's eyes if

1005
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: you want to have success. And then they're gonna need

1006
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: some big plays in a special team game and they're

1007
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: gonna be in a big return that they're gonna need

1008
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: some short fields offensively, because I just just don't think

1009
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: the Bill's offensive production right now. And Derek Anderson, I

1010
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: assume he's playing again and and obviously will be better

1011
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: than last week because it's now it's the second week

1012
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: that he's seen game speed here, uh, you know, for

1013
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: in the short term, and we'll understand some of that

1014
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: game speed a little bit better. And certainly has said

1015
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 1: has had some great production over the years, but it's

1016
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: difficult when you're coming in in that situation. So it's

1017
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: going to require special teams, some big plays on special teams,

1018
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: and a great defensive effort like the defense played a

1019
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: couple of weeks prior to that Indianapolis game. But if

1020
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: they come out with the effort that they had and

1021
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was effort, if they come out

1022
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: with the effectiveness of the defensive unit that played last

1023
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: week against Indianapolis, I mean, this key team could drop

1024
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: fifty on you. So they've got they've got to play

1025
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: within themselves, but they But can they win the game. Yeah,

1026
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: but it's gonna take. It's gonna take precision, it's gonna

1027
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: take everybody being on the same page, and it's gonna

1028
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: take it's gonna take creating some turnovers. And you just

1029
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to play every single down. They

1030
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna go to the end of this game. And

1031
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: uh and you know, you can never count this New

1032
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: England pay for your team out, certainly with the personnel

1033
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: they have. But it's gonna be an uphill battle. But

1034
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: I think the fans will help certainly. And the Bills

1035
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: have shown that when they didn't play a particularly a

1036
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: good game the previous week, that they've come back and

1037
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: played pretty well. So let's hope that's the case. And

1038
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: let's let's hope they can find a way to defend

1039
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: all those all those multiple sets that the Patriots are

1040
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: going to employ offensively. Let's hope Mark. Thanks, we'll talk

1041
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: to him Monday. Thank you very much, Mark Kelso. Color

00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: to his CBS game in Kansas City. Our twitterfall today, Yes,

1050
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: it's for real. People are talking about plane crashes and poison.

1051
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: What's the Bill's best chance at upsetting the Patriots? It

1052
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: could happen. I'm not betting on it. It could happen, though,

1053
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: Give us a call. We'd left to talk to you

1054
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: about it. Eight three fifty and toll free one eight

1055
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or you can

1056
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: send in a tweet A couple of these in response

1057
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: to the question, what's the Bill's best chance at up

1058
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: sending Tiffany Daniels. Our defensive tackles need to push the

1059
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: pockets into Brady, forcing him out of his comfort zone,

1060
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: which kind of sounds like what Kelso was saying. They

1061
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: have to hit him continually, forcing him to turn to

1062
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 1: the officials for help. Our offense needs to just hold

1063
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: on to the ball, picking up third downs and keeping

1064
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: Brady off the field. I'll go for all of that.

1065
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: That sounds okay. You know what the big problem is.

1066
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: It's not third downs. The Bills are banded on third downs.

1067
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: You know where. They're really bad first downs, the worst

1068
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: in the league, and that's why their third downs are

1069
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: so bad. It's not the third downs are given them problems.

1070
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: They are, but if they get decent yardage on first down,

1071
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: the third downs will go a lot better. I think

1072
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: really all the downs are given them from team many

1073
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: twenty two. By the way, defense has to return to form,

1074
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: and that includes turnovers. If we can't stop them, they

1075
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: go up a few scores. Our offense has proven it'll

1076
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: be tough to come from behind. That is true. This

1077
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: game can not be It can't be twenty four nothing

1078
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: to the half, It can't be fourteen. Nothing needs to

1079
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: be something the Bills need to stay in touch for

1080
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Yeah, keep it close and then see where

1081
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 1: you're at right again, Hey, we got a good second

1082
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: hour of the show coming up. Dad stays with us

1083
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: till three o'clock today. Matt Chatham, former Patriots linebacker, is

1084
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: going to join this. He wrote a post worthy Athletic

1085
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: and Boston about why he enjoyed coming to Buffalo so

1086
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: much as a player. You don't hear that often. You

1087
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: don't hear that from Patriots players that often. And then

1088
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: great Cosal executive producer and analysts for NFL Matchup on ESPN,

1089
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: He joins us at one twenty. Come on back for

1090
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: all of that. It's John Murphy with Dan Brown. One

1096
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: Patriots coming up on Monday Night. The Bills, it looks

1097
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: like running back Lashan McCoy is limited again. Today's he

1098
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: comes back from a concussion. He's got the red non

Speaker 1: today for Lorenzo Alexander and Kyle Williams from the Buffalo defense,

1101
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: both of whom got rest days yesterday. Trent Murphy not

1102
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: seeing at practice early on today. He did not play,

1103
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: did not practice yesterday with his knee and not likely

1104
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: that he'll be able to play. The Bills said earlier

1105
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: this week he would be week to week in New England.

1106
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle not practicing yesterday. The Patriots running back not

1107
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: expected to practice and probably will not play against the

1108
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: Bills on Sunday. Bills and Pater on Monday, Bills and

1109
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: Patriots eight fifteen pm kickoff. You can hear the game

1110
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: right here on our flagship in Buffalo, WGR Sports Radio

1111
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: five fifty. Jacksonville has ruled out a couple of cornerbacks

1112
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: for their game on Sunday, and they've ruled out running

1113
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: back Leonard Fournette. That's no surprise, he's only played in

1114
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: two games this season. As not practice for an extended period.

1115
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: The Jaguar is getting set to play in Sundon in

1116
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: London on Sunday, and they left today, leaving those players behind,

1117
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: including a couple of Corners and running back Leonard Fournette.

1118
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans fear wide receiver Will Fuller tore his

1119
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: acl during last night's game against the Dolphins, a big

1120
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: win for the Texans. In that game, Fuller injured his

1121
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: knee midway through the fourth quarter and MRI has scheduled

1122
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 1: for later today. Dolphins coach Adam Gay says he will

1123
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: reevaluate everything this weekend. After the latest Miami loss, a

1124
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: twenty eight point second half of the Houston Texans and

1125
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: last night's victory over Miami, NFL is taking the unusual

1126
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: step of firing official Hugo Cruise for performance reasons, the

1127
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: first time the league has fired an official in season

1128
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: in many years because of performance. Sabers won their third

1129
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: in a row last night, overcoming deficits three times, and

1130
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: their fourth three win over the Montreal Canadians Jason Palmonville

1131
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: with two goals. Sabers practicing today. They traveled to Columbus

1132
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: to play the Blue Jackets tomorrow and the World Series

1133
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: Game three tonight. The Boston Red Socks up two games

1134
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: to two games to none. No team in World Series

1135
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: history has come back from a three to nuffing deficit.

1136
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: That's the update from One Bills Drive. John Murphy and

1137
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: Dad Brown in for Steve Tasker today as the Bills

1138
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: gets set to play the New England Patriots. Joining us

1139
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: on the subway fresh take Huntline, a former Patriots linebacker

1140
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: six years with New England won three Super Bowls. There

1141
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 1: now a bust and Herold columnist and an analyst on nesson.

1142
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: We're happy to have Matt Chatham on the line with us.

1143
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: Matt wrote a really interesting piece on the Athletic dot

1144
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: Com and buston why a game day trip to Buffalo

1145
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: is a fun experience. Matt, Welcome to the show. John

1146
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: Murphy and Dad Brown here. I've never heard anybody say

1147
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 1: that the visiting players say they love to come to Buffalo.

1148
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: That's that's unusual. Well, I'll tell you what, guys, What

1149
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: sort of prompted the that piece was Scott Zolak, who

1150
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: does the game for for ninety five there for the

1151
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: Patriots radio network. He and I do a show during

1152
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: the week for the Patriots called Patriots This Week, and

1153
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: we kind of talk about this every year quite frankly,

1154
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: and you know, each week it's like, Hey, we're going

1155
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: to Miami this week. Hey, We're going to Chicago this week.

1156
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: Where are we traveling, where we gonna eat? What's the

1157
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: environment going to be? Like, what's sort of the fan

1158
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's just sort of the chit chat stuff

1159
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: you do each week. He can one of the things

1160
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: that it always jumps out of me, and granted those

1161
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: of guys from from the Pittsburgh areas, so he kind

1162
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: of he kind of sees the Buffalo is Pittsburgh North,

1163
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 1: that's his phrase. But uh, we talk about this each time,

1164
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: where there's sometimes some you know, derogatory stuff directed back

1165
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: towards Buffalo. I think a lot of people look at

1166
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: it is uh maybe more of an abyss kind of situation.

1167
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: It's not in one of the big metro areas of

1168
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: the country. Both every time we bring up Buffalo, it's like, yeah,

1169
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo trip, it's you know, I enjoy that place.

1170
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: And one of the things I tried to weave into

1171
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: the column today was something that I think, you know,

1172
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: it registers with me more because I played at the

1173
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: University of South Dakota FCS school now is a Division

1174
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: two school when I was there, so I didn't really

1175
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 1: get the you know, the big ten environment, the sec environment,

1176
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, just the seven or eighty thousand sands and

1177
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: sort of a bowl situation, you know, loud and crazy

1178
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 1: and and so you know, I didn't expect it. I

1179
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: didn't experience as a collegian. But when you get to

1180
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, Buffalo is really one of the few places

1181
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: that reminds me of what I think. I guess it's

1182
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: not reminding me, it makes me think of that a

1183
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: little bit. And it's something we talk about a lot

1184
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: as players. It's like, you know, it's it's quirky, it's different.

1185
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: It's certainly not the same as as going to the

1186
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: Metal Ends or something like that, but it's cool. It's

1187
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: just different cool. So I know, I know, I know,

1188
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: I know they get crapped on a lot for that,

1189
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: but it's something that I think there's a lot of

1190
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: guys out there that appreciate you. I look forward to

1191
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: that trip. Matt. You talked about in the article that

1192
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: each guy will have their own opinion on what places

1193
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: they like to go. I'm curious is if you ask

1194
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: thirty guys, do you get thirty different opinions or is

1195
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 1: there like an A, B and c of places that

1196
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: most guys like to go and where I'm kind of

1197
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: going with this is are you kind of swimming upstream

1198
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: with the idea that Buffalo is a great place to play? Well,

1199
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not. I don't pretend that it's, you know,

1200
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: like the number one place i'd go or anything like that.

1201
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: But I just think I appreciate that it's a part

1202
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: of the docket. I think that the variability is a

1203
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: cool thing. We actually have this back and forth a

1204
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,240
Speaker 1: little bit in regard to baseball. I made a jokey

1205
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: tweet a week or so ago when we found out

1206
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: it was going to be Socks Dodgers and kind of said,

1207
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, I wonder why they do the World Series,

1208
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, each of the place's venues instead of having

1209
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl side each year and go down and

1210
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 1: just knock out seven games there. And a lot of

1211
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: the people fire back and me, he said, no, no, no,

1212
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: it's the character of each individual park that matters so

1213
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: much in baseball. And again, as I was sitting down

1214
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: to write this piece about the Bills, I'm like, you

1215
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: know what, that's that's important because that place is different,

1216
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: It's very distinct. It's it's not quite Lambeau, but it's

1217
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: that same idea. It's older, it's a bowl, it's loud.

1218
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: It does not look like the sort of megastructures and

1219
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: a lot of these places look like And that's okay.

1220
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: And I think with the NFL the way they've really

1221
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: just blown that whole situation with San Diego and you know,

1222
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: and again I'm looking into this column, starting to do

1223
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,280
Speaker 1: a little research and I'm clicking on a few bills

1224
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: columns about you know, stadium options, and they're like, man,

1225
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: that's a place that needs to be preserved. They should.

1226
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. It doesn't certainly have a history

1227
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: of a Fenway, a Wrigley or something like that. But

1228
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: it's one of the older venues the league. It's got

1229
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: some quirkiness, it's cool, it fits the area. To me,

1230
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: those are the kind of places you preserve, maybe build

1231
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: on top of them a little like they've done Lambo,

1232
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: but there's there's something cool and unique about the place

1233
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: that you don't want to kill off and just build

1234
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: another one of these other thirty two, we're with Matt Chatham,

1235
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 1: former Patriots linebacker, who wrote a post for the Athletic

1236
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: dot Com and Boston about how much he loved as

1237
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: a player visiting the Bills in Buffalo. You're right, the

1238
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: big basic bowl of blue seats inside New Ararafield, similarly

1239
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: blue clad screaming fans, giant labat blue signs, and the

1240
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: deliciously corny local anthem. Is this the song you're referring to? Man,

1241
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: listen to this the Bills? Is that the song you're

1242
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: thinking of? That? Is it? You want to hear the

1243
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: whole thing? Or I don't know. I know it very well.

1244
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: Six years of the Jets and three with excuse me

1245
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: tix years of the past and three years of the Jets,

1246
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: So I've heard, I think so many times and it

1247
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: also be came. You know, it's it's one of those

1248
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: songs that to an opposing player, it's a little bit

1249
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: annoying obviously initially, but after you've heard it over and

1250
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: over again, you'll I'll be standing out there in the

1251
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: TV time out, you know, I'm a put team or

1252
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: part return. You're waitings for sort of play to get

1253
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: whistled back in and he sit there and you find

1254
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: your kind of bob, you know, joined the club on

1255
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: that one man. You know, yeah, yeah, I know, I

1256
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: know exactly what you mean that. I mean they play

1257
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: when they score, So that's always a good sign when

1258
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: the Bill score. I want to ask you too, when

1259
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: you look at your visits to Buffalo and you talk

1260
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: about coming here, uh, you talk about how difficult it

1261
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: was to hear you hear that song. I guess, but

1262
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: teammates have trouble communicating right when they come to Buffalo

1263
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: because it's so loud here. Yeah, definitely. And the person

1264
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: that was that was echoing that and the piece is

1265
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: Jay Foreman. Jay is a guy that's my era. We

1266
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: played against each other lots of lots. He was there

1267
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,959
Speaker 1: after the Bills for a few years and he brought

1268
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 1: that up and it was funny to hear him saying that.

1269
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: Obviously he's going to hear it more because when he's

1270
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: on the field and Buffalo, you know there are you

1271
00:56:58,280 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: guys are trying to make as much noise as possible

1272
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: with a Patsau on the field, a little less so

1273
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: for us, but you still get a sense of that

1274
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: when you're on the sideline. So uh, in game for

1275
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: us now that there canna be a little more quiet

1276
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: because you know they're trying to be quiet for the offense.

1277
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: But I think one of the things that really did

1278
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: register with me as far as the place is just

1279
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, there are other loud venues, right Seattle's loud

1280
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: against He's loud. Is this isn't sort of one of

1281
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: those decibel arguments. It's more just that it's a place

1282
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: when things are going well, it gets with and and

1283
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: it really gets sort of you know, hype. And I

1284
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: think those are the kind of places that there are

1285
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: some venues just because of the way there the structures

1286
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: happen to be built that no matter how good things

1287
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: are going, it's never gonna get quite that loud, it's

1288
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: never gonna have that quite the same spirit. And I

1289
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: even remember when when Drew Bledsoe, when Drew had signed there,

1290
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: and obviously he was here with us three years and

1291
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: years and and I believe it was the first year

1292
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: where we played against the Bills, and when Drew was

1293
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: up there and Drew's waiting outside for us near the

1294
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: team bus, had pulled up a camper or something that

1295
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: he had had rented out for the day and he

1296
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: had catered it out. You know, there's just a bunch

1297
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: of food in there. And one of the stories that

1298
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: the Jay had had offered up that I didn't quite

1299
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: make it. And the piece was he's coming up, there's

1300
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: rookie year in ninety nine and walking in with with

1301
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: Doug Flutie and you know, just sort of walking through

1302
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: the sea of people and people just trying to handle food.

1303
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, there's there's something just a little unique

1304
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: and different about Buffalo. And like you guys, the question

1305
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: you let off with, are there guys that would go

1306
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: rather go to South Beach? Sure, other guys that would

1307
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: rather make the trip to New Orleans or San Diego, Sure,

1308
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: But I just I just liked it. It's there. You know,

1309
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: the variability is important. You don't want every week to

1310
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: feel the sent Matt real quick you like you said,

1311
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: you played for both the Patriots and the Jets. From

1312
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: being down to the field myself, my unofficial assessment is

1313
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: that fans are angrier and fight more for the Jets games.

1314
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: What do you think which team are Bills fans more

1315
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: angry to see? Wow, that's an interesting one. Yeah, you

1316
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: know what we weren't We were okay when I was

1317
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: with the Jets. You know, we had the first season

1318
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: with Majini. We made the playoffs that year. I think

1319
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: the fearer comes from how well you're doing. You know,

1320
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: nobody likes the guy who's winning all the time, So

1321
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: I think I felt I felt a lot more ankst

1322
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: I think when it was the Patriot State, but quite frankly,

1323
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot more riding on those games. But

1324
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, there is still in New York, you know,

1325
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: the Western New York versus sort of the Manhattan other

1326
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: brother kind of thing. So there's there's something to that

1327
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: with a Jets game. But you know, one way or the

1328
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: the other, you're you're you're You're not there to be

1329
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 1: cheered for. They're there cheered for the Bills. As you

1330
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: wrap up your piece on the Athletic dot Com at,

1331
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: I love the language you say. It's good for all

1332
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: of us that there's a buffalo on the schedule. Sometimes

1333
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: the best parts of the NFL are the places least

1334
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: like the NFL. That's a really good observation. Yeah, it's

1335
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of coming from a place that I'm a

1336
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: little agitated. Quite frankly, I know a lot of fans

1337
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: out there like that. I mean, I certainly have my

1338
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: rookie free agent here was in Saint Louis or the

1339
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: Rams sou and I was cut from there and then

1340
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm sent to New England and that's where I spent

1341
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: my first six years. But I've certainly got several friends

1342
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: that are former Chargers, you know, guys that are former Rams,

1343
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: Guys that have been a part of these places that

1344
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: weren't treating particularly well by the NFL, And I think

1345
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: the thing they cash them in for is inferior in

1346
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: a lot of situations. And I'm not saying the builds

1347
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: are going where they're not, but it's just that you

1348
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: hate to see a mid market place get pressured by

1349
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: the oligarchy. Add and I'm not a big fan of this.

1350
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Every place needs to turn into Jerry Jones's palace. I

1351
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: think that's kind of nonsense, and it's not good that

1352
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: people would be listening to him in that regard, but

1353
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: he seems to have some sway there. I hope that

1354
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: the community of Buffle is able to rise up and

1355
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: then keep it pure to what it is and not

1356
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: get pushed into building some you know, replica of all

1357
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: these other ones downtown or something. So I just think

1358
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: that the NFL is wrong in thinking that they should

1359
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: just simply pick the thirty two biggest markets they can

1360
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: find with it will build the thirty two biggest structures

1361
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: and then call that football from here to perpetunity. I

1362
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: think that's stupid. And if that's where this thing's going,

1363
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: you know who knows well how many of us are

1364
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: will be football fans tender twenty years from now. It's

1365
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: great to hear Mann. You just may have just become

1366
01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the Bills fans' favorite former Patriot. There you go, Hello,

1367
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: bar Hey Matt, thanks for this. Are you coming to

1368
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: the game this week? No, we'll be in the studio

1369
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: from Neston doing prepiame, so not making a trip one

1370
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: you'll miss it. Thanks Matt, great article and thanks for

1371
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: joining us talk about it. We appreciate it. My pleasure.

Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion. His post on the Athletic dot Com

1374
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: it's worth reading why a game day trip to Buffalo

1375
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: is a fun experience for a visiting player. Not everybody

1376
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: would tell you that. Matt just did, and I thought

1377
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: he was very articulate about it. I love the way

1378
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: he talked about we don't want thirty two palaces, we

1379
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: don't want the thirty two biggest markets. Have some character

1380
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: in the league, gooldn't send it better. He gets us,

1381
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: he met chats. Matt joined us on the Subway Fresh

Speaker 1: Greg Thanks for joining us, John Murphy and Thad here

1397
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. We appreciate you coming on with the city.

1398
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Thank you Murphy, Thad. Good to be with you guys.

1399
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: As always, Hey, we're having trouble figuring out a path

1400
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: I am anyway, a path to victory for the Bills

1401
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Give us your best shot at that,

1402
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: if you would, Greg, Well, I think you just answered

1403
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: my question. Yeah, I think. Well, first of all, we know,

1404
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: we know what this team ultimately is about if they're

1405
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: going to win, So their defense is going to have

1406
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: to be critical here. And obviously it's a division game.

1407
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: They know the Patriots pretty well, but that doesn't mean

1408
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: they can stop him. I think let's put it this way.

1409
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: A couple of things to look for. Let's take that approach, Murphy.

1410
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: The Patriots have an outstanding play action passing game, and

1411
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: they do it from multiple personnel packages and multiple formations.

1412
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: This is going to be a really important homework game

1413
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: for the rookie Edmonds and for Matt Mulano. They're going

1414
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: to have to be really good with how they react

1415
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: to run action because the Patriots are so good at

1416
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: getting linebackers to move and getting out of passing lanes.

1417
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: Because when they go play action, they're not a downfield

1418
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: passing team. They do a lot of what I call

1419
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: bang play action, where Brady it's almost a three step

1420
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: drop type play action, and you've seen it a thousand

1421
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: times where he hits either a gronk or a wide

1422
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: receiver literally behind the linebacker level. And that's something they're

1423
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: really going to have to detail this week because Edmonds

1424
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: has has still struggled at times throughout this season with

1425
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: his play recognition and reaction. One question for you about

1426
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Trimmy and Edmunds. I thought he had a difficult day

1427
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: last Sunday in Indianapolis. Did you see that when he

1428
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: watch a video? I did. Yeah, I did think he

1429
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: had a difficult day. And it's funny you say that

1430
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: because here's a note I took after I watched that tape.

1431
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: You're right on at Murph. By the way, I'm really

1432
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: proud of you. I think that rookie middle linebacker Edmonds

1433
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: still struggling in two areas play recognition and reaction in

1434
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,959
Speaker 1: the run game, playing off blocks in the run game.

1435
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: And I think at this point he's still very much

1436
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: a runner who can make some splash plays, but still

1437
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: needs work in the details of the middle linebacker position.

1438
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: That Greg's very proud of me. See if you can

1439
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: top that, I gotta tough back to following up. I

1440
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: feel it's imidated Greg. When it comes to the Patriots

1441
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: passing game, Sean mcdermer talked yesterday about he thinks this

1442
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: might be the best group of weapons at Brady has

1443
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: had around him in some time. How are they and

1444
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: they've made a whole lot of games together, but how

1445
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: are they acclimating Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Chris Hogan all

1446
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: together with Josh Gordon, who's new. A lot of these

1447
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: guys have been another lineup to Edelman has been suspended,

1448
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: Gronk was hurt last week. What are you seeing? How

1449
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: dangerous can this offense be? Well? Bad weapons wise, they're

1450
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: very dangerous because Josh Gordon at his best provides every

1451
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: dimension and they probably haven't had one of those guys

1452
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 1: that you'd have to go back to Randy Moss. That's

1453
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: quite a few years back, and you could argue that

1454
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Gordon might be better sort of at the short intermediate

1455
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: game than Moss was. So they provide every dimension because

1456
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: now Gordon can stretch the field. We know what Edelman is,

1457
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: the player who you didn't mention, who I think is

1458
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: so critical to their past game as James White, and

1459
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: it really becomes difficult, you know, It'll be interesting to

1460
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: see how Sean decides to play them, whether he decides

1461
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: to play more zone, whether he decides to match up.

1462
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how comfortable be matching up in the

1463
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,919
Speaker 1: slot consistently. If it's Edelman, I think you'll see Tredavious

1464
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: White lineup on the side of Gordon. That doesn't mean

1465
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: he'll be playing man to man on every snap, but

1466
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: I think that's what you'll see. White has certainly become

1467
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: their matchup corner. He matched up to Hilton last week

1468
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: when Hilton lined up outside. But this is a difficult

1469
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: team to match up against. And now you're assuming Gronk plays,

1470
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: you've got the Gronkowski matchup as well. Greg, you talked

1471
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: about how important James White is that this offense, and

1472
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: I know what I'm asking with this question, but can

1473
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: you argue that White, Edelman, Gordon, Hogan and Gronkowski is

1474
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: the best set of five, the best five receivers in

1475
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,479
Speaker 1: terms of the single group in the league right now? Well,

1476
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: without you know, being able to think off the top

1477
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: of my head that of every team, I would say

1478
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: you'd be hard pressed to find a better group because

1479
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: I think, to me, White, I don't think he's overlooked

1480
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: by any defensive coordinator or any defensive staff that has

1481
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: to play the Patriots. But he's not talked about a

1482
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: lot nationally or you know, publicly when people talk about

1483
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and I think he is so critical. I mean,

1484
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: just look what you know, they get him in such

1485
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: good matchups. To look what they did last week, particularly

1486
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: in the red zone when they got him matched on

1487
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd and he beat him easily. You know, he's

1488
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: he's such a good receiver. Now. I think he'll get

1489
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: more snaps as an iback this week because Sony Michelle

1490
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: won't be available. But he's such a good receiver with

1491
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: great cosal Executive producer analysts of NFL matchup on the

1492
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: ESPN talking about the Bills and the Patriots coming up

1493
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: on Monday. I'm watching Patriots video this week, Greg, and

1494
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: it struck me how their offense is really adapted a

1495
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: little bit. And I went back and look, three years ago,

1496
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: they threw it sixty six percent of the time. Now

1497
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: they're throwing at fifty six percent of the time. They

1498
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: become i think, much more versatile, maybe much more balanced

1499
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: than they have been in a couple of years. Huh,

1500
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: I would agree, I mean clearly, And I guess we

1501
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 1: won't know if they continue that this week with Sony

1502
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Michelle out. But in the three games that prior to

1503
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: last week against the Bears, they were running the football

1504
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: with good frequency. And you know, with Bill Belichick, you

1505
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: never know if that's a trend, if that's hey, now

1506
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: what he wants to do and evolve into, or it

1507
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: just happened to be those three games. That's always a

1508
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: hard question to answer with coach Belichick. But you know,

1509
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: I think as Brady gets a little older, you'd think

1510
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: that they'd want to be more balanced. But then then

1511
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: you think about what that just said. With all these

1512
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: weapons they have in the pass game, but the one

1513
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: thing about Brady, and he's arguably the best at this,

1514
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: is his willingness to take five six yard throws and

1515
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: use the pass game almost as a run game is

1516
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: second to none. He is so patient and so willing

1517
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: to do that, and they stay ahead of the sticks,

1518
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: and they're on schedule, and they move the chains. He

1519
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: talked about one rookie on defense for the Bills, Greg

1520
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmunds. What about the other one that's playing a lot,

1521
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: Arren Johnson. I have been blown away to the point

1522
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: where I'm laughing sometimes watching on film how he closes

1523
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: down run play from the nickel corner spot you see

1524
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: everybody around the league. I mean, how good? How much

1525
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: does he stand out on film when you watch him

1526
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,600
Speaker 1: play like that? Well, it's funny you mentioned that that,

1527
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: because I think that's the strength of his game. He's

1528
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: a very physical player in the slot. See the slot corner.

1529
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: Really in the NFL has to be able to do

1530
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,520
Speaker 1: three things. He has to be able to cover. Obviously,

1531
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 1: he has to be able to play the run because

1532
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: so many teams line up with three wide receivers in

1533
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: eleven personnel, So he has to be able to play

1534
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: the run. And he has to be able to blitz

1535
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: at times. And I think his willingness to be aggressive

1536
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: and his assertiveness as a tackler always stands out. With

1537
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: Greg Cosal from NFL matchup on the ESPN, Greg, what

1538
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: about the other side of the ball, the Bills on offense?

1539
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: How much more should they expect can they expect to

1540
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: get from Derek Anderson? Then they got last week against indeed, well, look,

1541
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,600
Speaker 1: obviously the results in terms of points were not what

1542
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,720
Speaker 1: you want that's obviously not a profound statement, but I

1543
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: think that what stood out immediately with Anderson, and we

1544
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: talked about this was the ball came out with some

1545
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: sense of timing and rhythm. He had a pretty good

1546
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: feel for his checkdowns when knee did, and that's the

1547
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: way he plays now. You know, he's been a guy

1548
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: that's always struggled at times to see things clearly, and

1549
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,600
Speaker 1: he forces some balls. I think the second interception in

1550
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: particular was real bad, as I recall, but I would

1551
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: say that you know, they need certain receivers too to

1552
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,520
Speaker 1: come through. We talked about this throughout the season, Murph.

1553
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: Even though it was in the fourth quarter and the

1554
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: game was over, when Calvin Benjamin caught that thirty two

1555
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: yarder on the back shoulder fade, I've talked about that before.

1556
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: That's what they need. He was the ex iso receiver,

1557
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: the single receiver to the boundary, and that's essentially what

1558
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,600
Speaker 1: he is in the Bill's offense. He's got to be

1559
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: a factor at that position. He'll gets to find Gilmour.

1560
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: Gilmore has been the matchup corner for the Patriots this year,

1561
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: and he'll gets to fin Gilmore. They're going to have

1562
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: to throw him the ball and he's going to have

1563
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:52,839
Speaker 1: to make plays even if they're contested. Fifty fifty catches,

1564
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: that's critical for this offense. Last week, Greg the Bill's

1565
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: got one hundred thirty yards on the ground without Lashawn McCoy.

1566
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: Anticipating they get McCoy back this week or maybe not,

1567
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 1: but should they look to run it against this new

1568
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: England team to if nothing else, keep Brady off the

1569
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: field as much as they can? What do you think, Yeah,

1570
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to. We know that's the

1571
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: way they have to play. Number one, they have to

1572
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: play that way for their own sense of what they are.

1573
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,719
Speaker 1: But number two, they do have to try to shorten

1574
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: the game. They have to somehow try to control the

1575
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: tempo of the game. Now, the Patriots will still get possessions.

1576
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Shortening the game only works if your defense also plays well.

1577
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: Because let's say there's on average twelve possessions and you

1578
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: give the other team nine. If the other team scores

1579
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns on four of them, you still have a problem.

1580
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: So shortening the game is always worthwhile, But that in

1581
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: and of itself is not the end. It's a means

1582
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: to an end. Great, let's look at some of the

1583
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: other games that are happening this weekend. The next game

1584
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: on the schedule when it comes to time is the

1585
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: game in London. They're doing another one again this week

1586
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Eagles. Blake Bortles did not take every

1587
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: snap last week for Jacksonville. How much of a leash

1588
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna have and you know what's

1589
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: going to be a very tough game for the Jaguars,

1590
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: and maybe how much of a leash do you think

1591
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: he should have this weekend against Philly. Well that I think, unfortunately,

1592
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: and believe me, Blake Bortles is probably a bottom third

1593
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:17,759
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. But unfortunately, I think he's sparing

1594
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 1: the blunt for a team that's built on everything but

1595
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles. Blake Bortles is a complementary piece on a

1596
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: team that expected to have a dominating run game, which

1597
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: they don't, on a team that expected to have a

1598
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: dominating defense, which they don't. So now when you don't

1599
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 1: have those two things which they expected to have based

1600
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:41,520
Speaker 1: on a year ago, now your quarterbacks play becomes magnified.

1601
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 1: And he's not good enough. But this team is not

1602
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 1: built on Blake Bortles. How much of this, in terms

1603
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: of the run game failure Jackson's had this year is

1604
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: because Leonard Fournette is hurt and maybe could be replaced

1605
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: or improved upon with Carlos Hide. And how much of

1606
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 1: it is just they're just not good enough to run

1607
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 1: the ball as a group right now. Well, I think

1608
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,719
Speaker 1: the Fournette factor is huge, and Fournette is a great,

1609
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: great player as a runner, and he's a foundation back.

1610
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: You can line up Leonard Fournette and give him the

1611
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: ball twenty twenty five times a week, and I know

1612
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,719
Speaker 1: they're very disappointed that he's injured, and that's a concern

1613
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: for them. That's why the high trade was made. And

1614
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure the high trade was made because Fournette's going

1615
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 1: to be out longer than they anticipated. But when all's

1616
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:30,480
Speaker 1: said and done, that's a critical piece because Fournette he's

1617
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 1: one of those backs who you can give the ball

1618
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 1: to an awful lot. But that goes together that with

1619
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 1: a defense that has to keep games together. And their defense,

1620
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 1: even though they they're up statistically in some categories, has

1621
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 1: not really played as well as a year ago. Hey, Greg,

1622
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: last night's game the Houston Texans win their fifth straight game.

1623
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: Are they that good? Are they just taking advantage of

1624
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: the schedule so far? What do you make of Houston

1625
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: so far? Well, they want five in a row. As

1626
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: you said, They certainly have offensive weapons, although I guess

1627
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: Fuller has now done for the year. Their defense is very,

1628
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 1: very good. Their defense, their front seven is outstanding. They

1629
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: have a ton of injuries now in the secondary that's problematic,

1630
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: but you know, they have a quarterback who is an

1631
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: improving player. I like to showan Watson obviously, DeAndre Hopkins

1632
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: is among the top two or three receivers in the league.

1633
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: Their old line is a work in progress, but Lamar

1634
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,719
Speaker 1: Miller has run very well. It's it's a good team

1635
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: in a division that's struggling, and I don't know what

1636
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: they'll do going forward, but I think they're an improving

1637
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: team with a young quarterback who is getting better. Yeah,

1638
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who the best team in that division is.

1639
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I guess it's Houston. Huh um. Well, I guess that's

1640
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 1: becoming week to week Murphy. But that's what But that's

1641
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: what the league often is, particularly for teams that you

1642
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: know are not necessarily great teams. It becomes week to

1643
01:14:54,960 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: week next to the Patriots. Greg the Chiefs tough test

1644
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: this year was against Denver. They were down in that

1645
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: game at ten points in the fourth quarter. The Broncos

1646
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: getting another shot at the Chiefs again this weekend. Are

1647
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 1: they a team that you know, maybe for lack of

1648
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: a better term, has some Kansas City kryptonite to where

1649
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: they can keep this game close and challenge Kancity again. Wellside,

1650
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,759
Speaker 1: they did a really good job defensively in the first

1651
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: half of that game that you're referring to, with some

1652
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:25,560
Speaker 1: of their matchup zone principles blurring the looks for Patrick Mahomes,

1653
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: and that's what teams try to do. The issue became

1654
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 1: in the second half when Mahomes made a lot of

1655
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: plays outside the structure of the play design, and he

1656
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,679
Speaker 1: is obviously more than capable of that, and that becomes

1657
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,600
Speaker 1: very very hard to defend. But having said that, you

1658
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,759
Speaker 1: still have to try to take away the plays within

1659
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: the structure and then hope that the rest works out

1660
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: in your favor. The issue you face though, is it's

1661
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: they're so difficult to defend because of all the multiple

1662
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 1: personnel groupings, the multiple formations. There's a ton of motion

1663
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 1: shifts there's a lot of misdirection and deception in their

1664
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: play calling, and then they have really good players. So

1665
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 1: it's a very difficult defense to play against, even if

1666
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 1: you do really good things tactically. With Greg Cosal, executive

1667
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: producer analysts of ESPN NFL matchup, this game interests me Greg,

1668
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 1: Late Sunday afternoon, green Bay at the seven and O Rams,

1669
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: What do the Packers? What can they do with Aaron

1670
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,640
Speaker 1: Donald coming off his four sack game. What does that

1671
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:29,759
Speaker 1: matchup look like for green Bay? Do you think, well,

1672
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: green Bay is going to have to score some points.

1673
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 1: And over the last two weeks, Aaron Rodgers is thrown

1674
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: almost one hundred balls. That's a lot of throws, and

1675
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,600
Speaker 1: that's a lot of pressure on your offensive line. And

1676
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 1: it's not only Aaron Donald, but the Dominican Sue what

1677
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: they do in their sub defense, in other words, when

1678
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: they have five or six defensive backs on the field,

1679
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: they've been lining up Sue as a wide nine pass rusher.

1680
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,600
Speaker 1: That's his spot, and he's been very, very good doing that.

1681
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: He's very strong and very powerful. Then you combine that

1682
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: with Suit with Donald and Brocker's inside, and boy, it's

1683
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: it's a tough group. So you know, the Packers to me,

1684
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 1: are in a tough spot. They're going to have to score,

1685
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they can abandon the run.

1686
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 1: They've not really run the ball with any volume at all,

1687
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: and I think they're going to have to reach that

1688
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: point at some point this season. Panthers take on the

1689
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: Ravens this weekend. A couple of teams that are maybe

1690
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, borderline Super Bowl contenders. I think they have

1691
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 1: interesting matchups either side of the ball, whether it's when

1692
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers have it or when the Ravens have it.

1693
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: For you, what side are you more interested to see

1694
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 1: how the Ravens defense deals with Cam Newton or what

1695
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: the Panthers can do against the Ravens offense that with

1696
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:39,879
Speaker 1: kind of semi no name receivers have been very effective

1697
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: so far this year. I would say that probably the

1698
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 1: Ravens D and the PANTHERSZ, because the Panthers Z, due

1699
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: to the Cam Newton factor in the run game, is

1700
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:53,679
Speaker 1: a difficult offense to defend. The Ravens are very good

1701
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:57,600
Speaker 1: at all three levels. They're particularly good with their pressure concepts,

1702
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: which if you obviously get the Panthers and passing situations,

1703
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: longer yarded situations. I think you'll see some of that,

1704
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: but you always have to be careful with Kim Newton,

1705
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: both by design in the run game in normal down

1706
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: and distance situations, and then his ability to scramble and

1707
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:17,839
Speaker 1: make those outside of structure plays that can demoralize a defense.

1708
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 1: So that side of the ball really interests me. I

1709
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:23,839
Speaker 1: think you'll see Jimmy Smith matched up on Devin Funch's

1710
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: they'll do that, but that's an interesting matchup. Gregor, one

1711
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 1: more question for it, and it's not a trick question,

1712
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 1: but I'm going to ask you to go back into

1713
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 1: your memory bank, and you've done this for a while

1714
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 1: decades now. Halftime on Monday, the Bills will retire Thurman

1715
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Thomas number thirty four, And I guess I'm asking you

1716
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 1: what sort of matchup problems did Thurman present two opponents

1717
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 1: way back in the late eighties in the nineteen nineties.

1718
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,759
Speaker 1: What do you recall about Thurman as a player? Well,

1719
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: Thurman in some ways was a little bit ahead of

1720
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: his time because Thurman Thomas was a great runner who

1721
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 1: was a great receiver as well, and it was sort

1722
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: of before ear I mean it was before Marshall Falk.

1723
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: So it was before the ear in which we kind

1724
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: of looked at those kinds of backs and said, wow,

1725
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: that's what we want. You know. I thought there was

1726
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:10,680
Speaker 1: a back in Philadelphia who was like that and his

1727
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,680
Speaker 1: career got shortened by injury, and that was Wilbert Montgomery.

1728
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: But Thurman to me was one of those backs that

1729
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: was multidimensional and he was a great, great player. But

1730
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 1: now he's become in some ways the prototype for what

1731
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,920
Speaker 1: a lot of teams look for at the running back position. Yeah,

1732
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: he's great to watch, you know. And one thing yet,

1733
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 1: the end of his career, I was telling somebody he

1734
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: became a great blitz pickup guy towards the last five

1735
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: years of his career, like maybe the best I've ever seen.

1736
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: He was just a really good player. But you know,

1737
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: and obviously you know, playing in that k gun, I

1738
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: mean he was I just thought that Thurman Thomas was great.

1739
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,640
Speaker 1: He probably didn't get the publicity he deserved because you know,

1740
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: of that whole offense. Yeah, there were a lot of

1741
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: stars there. Hey, great, thanks for this every great weekend.

1742

01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: at eleven thirty am. And we're talking about it briefly earlier.

1762
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: You've got a special feature about a guy that most

1763
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,680
Speaker 1: of us feel we know a lot about Williams. You

1764
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 1: got involved with Kyle on his history with the New

1765
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,480
Speaker 1: England Patriot. Yeah, Kyle Williams will be playing his twentieth

1766
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 1: game again. Now. I just did Tom Brady specifically because

1767
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots out Tom Brady the last two decades are

1768
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 1: a totally different team. Yeah, but against Brady, he's gonna

1769
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: He's played nineteen games already. Monday will be number twenty

1770
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: most in the league. I haven't looked everybody up, but

1771
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: most in the league by a lot. And I asked him,

1772
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: you know all that experience, do you get an advantage

1773
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: from that? And the thing he said is you don't

1774
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: really gain an advantage. But he said, more so than

1775
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,720
Speaker 1: anybody in the league. I know what it takes to

1776
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: prepare for them, I know what they're gonna have ready

1777
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:40,600
Speaker 1: for us. I know how smart they are, I know

1778
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: how detail oriented they're going to be. And it was fascinating.

1779
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really more and owd to how great

1780
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots are. But you know, no one understands that

1781
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: in an intimate level better than Kyle Williams, who has

1782
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: to face those guys twice a year, and I think

1783
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: it does help the Bills because anybody on that defense,

1784
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, Trey White, tarn Johnson, Tremaine Edmonds can go

1785
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: to Kyle and say, all right, what are we gonna

1786
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:02,720
Speaker 1: see and he can, you know, lay out to them.

1787
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: They're gonna be ready for everything. They're gonna adjust. Jerry

1788
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: Hughes said it too. You know, you see something from

1789
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots in half number one, they're gonna come out

1790
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 1: with something completely different in the second half. And it

1791
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: just speaks to how good Belichick and Brady have been

1792
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 1: all these years. So I was gonna ask, Kyle can't

1793
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,720
Speaker 1: forecast what the Patriots will do offensively, right, but he

1794
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: can forecast it'll be different, right, There'll be something you

1795
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 1: haven't seen here that the adjustments are going to be made.

1796
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: I put that question to Jerry Hughes. I said, look,

1797
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: this is this is Tom Brady. I mean, they may adjust,

1798
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: but it's you know what Brady does. You've seen him

1799
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: a million times. And he said it's gonna be a different,

1800
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, different attack. And Trey White backed this up too.

1801
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 1: He said, you know they're gonna beat you one way.

1802
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna stop that. Then they're gonna beat you another way.

1803
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna stop that, They're gonna come up with a

1804
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: different way. This is how New England is. And although

1805
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: it's it's next to impossible to stop, at least the

1806
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: Bills have a fully under fully understand what they're gonna

1807
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: see one to night. Um, we all know how how

1808
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: valuable Kyle is on this roster. He's playing at a

1809
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: pretty high level this year too as well at age

1810
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: what thirty five. We had Harrison Phillips on the show

1811
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: earlier this week Tuesday, and yes we know the players

1812
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: young players go to Kyle, but Harrison detailed it about

1813
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 1: how he goes to Kyle and the questions he has

1814
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 1: to be ready to ask and they response that he

1815
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 1: might get from Kyle Williams. It's not like you can

1816
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: just walk in there, you know, fat, dumb and happy

1817
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 1: and say what are the Patriots gonna do? You better

1818
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 1: be detailed and be on point when you go talk

1819
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 1: to Kyle Williams. It's funny that Harrison describes it that

1820
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:21,719
Speaker 1: way because as a reporter, you feel the same way.

1821
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 1: If you to Kyle Williams with a what do you

1822
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: think about the game, He's gonna give you a look

1823
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: and not giving an answer. You need to be prepared

1824
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: as a reporter to talk to Kyle Williams. I can

1825
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: only imagine what it's like as a player. Harrison himself

1826
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 1: said yesterday that, you know, I pride myself of being

1827
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: a curious guy and wanting to know, And he said

1828
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: he had not talked to Kyle specifically about the Patriots yet,

1829
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: but guarantee you that was on his list of to

1830
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: do things. So the Kyle feature is part of Buffalo

1831
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: Kickoff Live that'll be on eleven thirty. Yeah, we talked

1832
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: about Kyle and you know, Jerry and all the different things.

1833
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: One of the other interesting parts of that story. Not

1834
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: to blow the whole thing now, but Jerry Hughes was asked,

1835
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: when you look at Tom Brady's career, what's the play

1836
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: that stands out to you, and then you probably think

1837
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,600
Speaker 1: of pass some deep ball clutch. He says, it's the

1838
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: quarterback sneaks. He says, because Brady's a guy. You wouldn't

1839
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: think a guy of that caliber and of that age

1840
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: who would want to get down at dirty in the trenches.

1841
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: But he does. And not only does he do it,

1842
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: he's probably the best there is at it and blue.

1843
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 1: It impressed Hughes. I was watching just yesterday the Patriots

1844
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs game. Second time I've seen the game, and the

1845
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: Patriots at a goal line situation in al Michaels and

1846
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth away here comes. You know, it's common the

1847
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: quarterback sneak Brady handed off to Sony Michelle, who scored time.

1848
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 1: I think that. Yeah, well, even though the numbers on

1849
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,760
Speaker 1: his sneak, I think he's like eighteen to twenty something

1850
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: like that all time. But it's a stupid success rate.

1851
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 1: It is. It's ridiculous. Hey we are We've got the

1852
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: game Monday and then close on its heels Tuesday at

1853
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: four pm, the NFL trade deadline. There's been a lot

1854
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: of speculation about the Bills being involved in trades. Who knows.

1855
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the track record that of Brendan Bean has

1856
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: been to make moves. I would not put anything past him,

1857
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: I guess as we approached the deadline on Tuesday at

1858
01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 1: four and not only to make moves, but to somehow

1859
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 1: Jedi mind Trek the other GM and had given him

1860
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: like three rounds more a draft pick than most people expect.

1861
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, I I think he won't be afraid of

1862
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 1: a move. And look, the Bills are rumored because they're

1863
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 1: two and five and they don't look like they have

1864
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 1: much of a future playoff wise. So whether you know

1865
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,599
Speaker 1: you think Brandon Bean will or they have the pieces

1866
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: to do it, they're gonna be involved in trade speculation,

1867
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: you know. Obviously. I think if the Bills can get

1868
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: something for Kelvin Benjamin last year of his contract, I

1869
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: think they would be happy to do it. You know,

1870
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy is the one everybody talks about, and you know,

1871
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,759
Speaker 1: my gut on Lashawn, I think it go go either way.

1872
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: But I think the Bills are only gonna move him

1873
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 1: if they really like the price. I think they feel

1874
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 1: like they can still use him next year, maybe the

1875
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 1: year after that. And I don't think you have to

1876
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,680
Speaker 1: blow the Bills away second and third round kind of

1877
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, the initial rumor, But the Bills are only

1878
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 1: gonna move Lashawn McCoy if it's the price they like. Well,

1879
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: let's talk about that price. Third rounder, do you think

1880
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 1: the Bill I think a third would do it, Yeah,

1881
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: I think so. I think it depends on your opinion

1882
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 1: of where you're going with Lashawn next year. How much

1883
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: of a part of the offense. Do you think he's

1884
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna be because if if he's gonna if you're gonna

1885
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 1: kind of phase him out, or if you want to

1886
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 1: try and make Josh Allen moore of a focus, then

1887
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather have the third round. They can

1888
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: move forward, you know, either way. You know when is

1889
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: this when is this process going to mature? Is it

1890
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 1: nineteen or is it twenty twenty twenty? Well it's twenty twenty.

1891
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: Do you want a thirty two running back then? Right?

1892
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: But the problem is Josh Allen is hurt now and

1893
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: can't play, so that the process, the development of the

1894
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 1: quarterback has been delayed at least We'll see how much

1895
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: longer that takes. I do think that's a factor. If

1896
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: if they think, look, we're gonna miss Josh for a

1897
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of more time this year. Uh, and so next

1898
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 1: year would be the developmental year. Maybe you're right. But

1899
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're there yet with Josh Allen.

1900
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if they they're writing to him him

1901
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 1: off for the big big chunk of the season yet, right,

1902
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't know. He's still week to week

1903
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: and there's still a lot of football. It's a problem,

1904
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,759
Speaker 1: I know, and I'm in the minority here. Um, there's

1905
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: there's nine more games including Monday left. Well, I'll tell

1906
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 1: you what. If they pick off the Patriots Monday to night,

1907
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 1: then Lashaw McCoy is not getting traded. I mean, they're

1908
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna make a run with that. I would think, Well,

1909
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 1: let's what kind of a run it would be. We'll see, Um, well,

1910
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 1: have you beat New England. If you've already been in

1911
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:54,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota on the road, you're not gonna be able to

1912
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 1: go in that locker room and tell them that there's

1913
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 1: a team on the scheder they can't beat. Yeah, so

1914
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna gonna take that. But does it change your

1915
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: season or change your outlook? I'm not sure if it does.

1916
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 1: I think it changes the outlook. Whether it changes the

1917
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 1: season probably a tougher question. Anybody else candidates for trade, Look,

1918
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if somebody makes you a decent offer

1919
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 1: for any one of the wide receivers, I would listen,

1920
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 1: and I would listen hard. If I were the Buffalo Bills,

1921
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: I think Jerry Hughes should be on the list. I've

1922
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 1: been banging this drum a little bit. I like Jerry.

1923
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 1: I like him. I think obviously he can still play.

1924
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 1: I think he can still play next year. It's playing

1925
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: at a really high level. He is, again a guy

1926
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: on the other side of thirty. He's got a big contract.

1927
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna need one again. When this process matures, he's

1928
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna be on another contract. So what's that gonna be?

1929
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: Twelve million, thirty million a year? Do you want to

1930
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:34,840
Speaker 1: be paying that to a guy who's thirty one thirty

1931
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: two years old? If again, the other thing with Jerry Hughes,

1932
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a quality return for a guy like

1933
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: that second round at minimum, and more so than anybody

1934
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: else in this team who's available trade wise. Jerry Hughes

1935
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:48,639
Speaker 1: is a guy that a contender would look at and say,

1936
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 1: we put a pass rusher like that in our team.

1937
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: It's worth it to us to spend a premium draft

1938
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: pick to make that happen. I guess so. From the

1939
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 1: Bills perspective, I think, look, they just got done building

1940
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 1: their defense, put significant resources on the defensive side of

1941
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: the ball this year. I'd hate to start. I know

1942
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 1: it's smart sometimes to bill for the future. I just

1943
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: hate to see that dismantling begin over. I wouldn't guarantee

1944
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, but if someone calls me about Jerry

1945
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: Hughes and I'm Brandon Bean, I'm listening at least. Yeah,

1946
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:14,640
Speaker 1: Ded Brown is with us. Still three o'clock today. We

1947
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: got a lot more show to come, including Lorenzo Alexander,

1948
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: Bill's defender linebacker. I guess he's a linebacker. He lines

1949
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 1: up all over, he does whatever the heck he wants to.

1950
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 1: He does it pretty well too. Lorenzo's gonna join this

1951
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: live in studio just a couple of minutes away, Blust.

1952
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,639
Speaker 1: We want to get back to our Twitter poll, get

1953
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this, and we know, I know I'm

1954
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 1: not speaking for that here. It is unlikely the Bill's

1955
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: winning this game on Sunday, but it could happen. And

1956
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 1: if it does happen, our Twitter poll today is what

1957
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 1: would be the factors to lead to a Buffalo Bill's

1958
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,679
Speaker 1: victory as unlikely as that, Maybe go ahead and tweet

1959
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: away you're you know, you're joking tweets about bus crashes

1960
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:52,600
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, you know, missing the plane. What's the

1961
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's best chance at upsetting the Patriots. Though it's

1962
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:57,799
Speaker 1: a legit question. We got more than two thousand responses already.

1963
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,640
Speaker 1: Fifty seven percent of you say the best the Bills have,

1964
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 1: as unlucky as it would be, would be multiple turnovers

1965
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 1: by the Patriots. Fifty seven percent say that, twenty three

1966
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: percent say a return to a strong defense, which the

1967
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: Bills had for about four games before last Sunday and Indie,

1968
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 1: fourteen percent of something else in mind. Eight percent say

1969
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 1: a huge game from the running backs, a huge run

1970
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: game performance. Give us a call. Let's see what you think.

1971
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 1: Phone lines are going to be open when we come back,

1972
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 1: and Lorenzo Alexander will be with us as well. If

1973
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 1: the Bills upset the Patriots, what's their best chance of

1974
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 1: doing it? We're coming back with more. One Bills Live

2019
01:31:57,240 --> 01:31:59,599
Speaker 1: It is Friday, that means to sign for the Lowdown

2020
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:03,080
Speaker 1: John feat that rounding for Steep Tsker today, joined in

2021
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:07,799
Speaker 1: studio by our friend Lorenzo Alexander with the Lowdown. Hi, Lorenzo,

2022
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 1: thanks you coming in going on fellas nothing. How are

2023
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 1: you doing nothing doing? I'm getting well? Yeah, looky, Yeah,

2024
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm good. I have had four days off this week.

2025
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:17,600
Speaker 1: We know, have playing a Monday night game, so I

2026
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:19,679
Speaker 1: got an extra day of recovery. So I'm actually feeling

2027
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 1: pretty good today. You know, it's uh, it's Friday, obviously,

2028
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 1: but it's a Thursday practice for us, So got a

2029
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:26,559
Speaker 1: chance to get out there and run around and really

2030
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 1: felt good. So looking forward to being able to showcase

2031
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 1: on Monday night. When you say four days off, you

2032
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:34,400
Speaker 1: mean four days off your feet basically. Yeah, I mean

2033
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,559
Speaker 1: we've been in working and looking at film, but yeah,

2034
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:39,760
Speaker 1: four days as far as me not going out there

2035
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 1: and practicing because normally my normal day off is Wednesday. Um,

2036
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 1: and so yesterday, Thursday was our Wednesday practice, which is

2037
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:53,080
Speaker 1: normally on Wednesday. Yeah, so we just extended the week

2038
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 1: by a day essentially. So it's just it's good, especially

2039
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,679
Speaker 1: you know, by now most times I've had a buye

2040
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, so it's the middle of the season, so

2041
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of a pseudo buy for me physically because

2042
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: I get that extra day off. Yeah, you and Kyle

2043
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: get Wednesday stuff typically. How is that playing for you too?

2044
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: Do you really feel it that one day off all

2045
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 1: it makes a difference. I mean as far as going

2046
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:17,759
Speaker 1: out there and just being more locked in mentally versus

2047
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 1: going around in physical contact and putting extra wear and

2048
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 1: tear in your body that you nece necessarily need. Because

2049
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 1: Wednesday is more of a faster, more mentally practice, so

2050
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 1: at this stage you don't necessarily need it as much

2051
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 1: as maybe some of the younger guys may need that.

2052
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 1: So Thursday is good because then you ramp up even

2053
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more, start working on some other things,

2054
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: the physicality of the game, because we have pads on,

2055
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 1: just so that you're ready to go out there and

2056
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,439
Speaker 1: be physical when you get on something. One more question said,

2057
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 1: I know you have questions as well, but on this

2058
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: practice schedule thing, this is not haphazard, right, I mean

2059
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 1: they do researches. Yeah, it's not like I said, Hey,

2060
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 1: I don't feel like practicing the day, you know, let

2061
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:54,080
Speaker 1: me pick Wednesday. The whole team. It's pretty much play. Yeah.

2062
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we wear GPS units and they track

2063
01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:00,880
Speaker 1: everybody's you know, intensity work out that they may have.

2064
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,160
Speaker 1: So let's say we play x amount of snaps and

2065
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:07,880
Speaker 1: a receiver has a really high output. You know, they

2066
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 1: may get the day off, or they may cut back,

2067
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 1: or maybe they're lifting or their reps in practice, depending

2068
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:15,800
Speaker 1: on how old the guy is. So there's something that

2069
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:17,599
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the NFL and I think

2070
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 1: sports in general, have went to or went towards as

2071
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 1: far as not necessarily working harder, but smarter, and sometimes

2072
01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 1: that means you need to pull back a little bit

2073
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:28,840
Speaker 1: so that you're ready for game day, which is ultimately

2074
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: when you want guys fresh and peeking and playing at

2075
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,680
Speaker 1: a high level and not necessarily just working during a

2076
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 1: week just because because that's more of an old school mentality.

2077
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:38,680
Speaker 1: So that's probably something of the positives of kind of

2078
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:40,960
Speaker 1: the culture change in the NFL and sports in general

2079
01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:42,760
Speaker 1: kind of moving forward. How much do you think this

2080
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:44,720
Speaker 1: is going to extend players careers? I mean, this is not,

2081
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,679
Speaker 1: you know, extending my career. You know, so who found

2082
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:49,719
Speaker 1: one of those guys and you can change your mindset

2083
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 1: where guys can get paid into their thirties because you're

2084
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 1: no longer, especially in football, I think you know the

2085
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:57,639
Speaker 1: age is thirty, right, And I think that goes back

2086
01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 1: to the days of when there were two of days

2087
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:04,240
Speaker 1: as practices and training camp. Training camp was six weeks long,

2088
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 1: and then you just grind it. I mean you had

2089
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 1: padded practices when I first got in the league with

2090
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs, I mean, we've had pads on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

2091
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 1: and they were physical practices. So that naturally takes years

2092
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 1: off the back end of your career. So now I

2093
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,599
Speaker 1: think with the signs behind it and coaches being more

2094
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:25,160
Speaker 1: accepting of allowing these sports sciences to come in and

2095
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 1: give them information and saying, okay, maybe I shouldn't institute this,

2096
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:31,679
Speaker 1: it's definitely going to allow guys and you see guys

2097
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: like myself obviously, Kyle Jerry Hughes. I think being another

2098
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 1: guy that as they get older, still playing at high

2099
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 1: level and be able to run around here, I think

2100
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 1: you'll see more and more guys if they can reach

2101
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:43,679
Speaker 1: that threshold of getting into double digit years still playing

2102
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 1: at high level. You go up against a forty one

2103
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:48,599
Speaker 1: year old quarterback this week he's doing okay, he's doing great.

2104
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: And I mean, you know, obviously playing the nature of

2105
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 1: a position just doesn't get hit as much, but still

2106
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:55,879
Speaker 1: has a great arm mind for the game. And at quarterback,

2107
01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 1: you can you know, you can extend your career and

2108
01:35:57,920 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 1: be able to do that the way he plays. Question

2109
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: for you about this Bill's patriotsing this year, third year

2110
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,639
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. When you came here, when you signed here,

2111
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 1: was that in the back of your mind at all, like, oh, shoot,

2112
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: we gotta play the Patriots twice a year. No, I

2113
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 1: didn't think about that. I mean, obviously you respect everybody,

2114
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 1: but at this stage in my career, I don't really

2115
01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 1: fear anybody. There's no no mystique when I, oh, that's

2116
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. You know, maybe when I was a young guy,

2117
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:21,680
Speaker 1: but you know, year twelve thirteen, You've been around a

2118
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:24,679
Speaker 1: lot of guys, played with them, hung out with them,

2119
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 1: competed against them, and you know, you know who they are,

2120
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 1: just another guy. Obviously some guys have more talent than

2121
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: others and have better schemes or around have more talent,

2122
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:34,600
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we got to

2123
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 1: go out there and compete and I'm never going to

2124
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 1: allow somebody's past success to dictate how I perceive them

2125
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 1: as I go into a game. And you know when

2126
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 1: you say that, obviously guys have talent. You gotta respect

2127
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: it in game plan for him. But it's not like

2128
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm a backdown because he's Tom Brady or whoever that

2129
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 1: star player may be across the league. Monday Night football

2130
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:53,719
Speaker 1: for you guys this week. If my research is correct,

2131
01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 1: this would be the ninth time you've played on a

2132
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 1: Monday night. You're two and six. I don't know if

2133
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:00,120
Speaker 1: that matters to you at all, but can we just

2134
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 1: keep everything pop? We don't want to talk about any

2135
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:05,559
Speaker 1: of my past you want Monday nights. I don't even

2136
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 1: talking about any Monday nights. I haven't had nothing on

2137
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 1: Monday Night. You got a couple of sacks on Monday Night?

2138
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 1: Do I? Yes? She don't know. What does that? Minnesota?

2139
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 1: Is that a Monday night game? Had the Seattle game? Here?

2140
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,160
Speaker 1: Was Buffalo okay against the Giants when you were in

2141
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:20,840
Speaker 1: Washington back in O nine? I think it was okay? Jacks?

2142
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 1: All right? I mean that's that's good. I mean too,

2143
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 1: you tell me that what are the positive memories you

2144
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 1: got a Monday night. I guess this is probably it.

2145
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:29,599
Speaker 1: I forgot about those. I actually remember the VIC game Pop.

2146
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:35,759
Speaker 1: It was like, no, it was like a horrible loss.

2147
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 1: He had six touchdowns in the game through the only

2148
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 1: thing out of that game that was positive. I blew

2149
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 1: one of the returners up. Man. They tried to double team.

2150
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:44,960
Speaker 1: I split the and and and Jack old boy up.

2151
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 1: So I ended up, you know, putting hurt on him.

2152
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 1: But Vick destroyed us the Eagles, you're with, Eagles just

2153
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:55,719
Speaker 1: destroyed us. D Jack first play maybe a second play

2154
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 1: play action beat Lauren Landry down the middle of field, touchdown,

2155
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 1: eighty yards arts and that's how the game started, and

2156
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,720
Speaker 1: that's how the game finished. That That that that game

2157
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 1: right there, that's that might have uh that might be

2158
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 1: the number one game in terms of fantasy football laws

2159
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 1: slowing games up. I know you don't care about that,

2160
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:14,719
Speaker 1: But Monday night, Michael VICKI scored eight thousand points. Anybody

2161
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:16,720
Speaker 1: who had him one that week? What the score was

2162
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 1: going in I can't only imagine what it was like

2163
01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 1: to be in the Yeah, it was, I mean it

2164
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. I mean I could only imagine what Vick

2165
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 1: was when he was in Atlanta, because that night, I

2166
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 1: mean he was just all over the place running. He

2167
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 1: shook me a couple of times. I just I just

2168
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 1: felt bad. Sounds like you don't like Monday n football.

2169
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:32,960
Speaker 1: Is that true? I would not say that. I just

2170
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,759
Speaker 1: haven't had a lot of success Monday night, as as

2171
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: he mentioned two. Obviously, I think the Lord. I think

2172
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 1: Monday Night is really cool. You know when you grew

2173
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 1: up watching games, Well, I want to play on Monday Night.

2174
01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 1: You know, everybody across the country's watching. All your peers

2175
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:50,720
Speaker 1: are watching you. So that's a cool part about it.

2176
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,719
Speaker 1: You know. For me, I'm I love Sunday one o'clock

2177
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 1: because I'm a routine guy. So it kind of throws

2178
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 1: you out of routine. Last we kind of talked about

2179
01:38:58,120 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 1: it in the beginning of the segment. Um, you know,

2180
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: it's an extra day, you know, Fridays or Thursdays, Thursdays

2181
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 1: or Wednesdays, you know what I mean, trying to figure

2182
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 1: out your schedule like today, Normally I have a lot

2183
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 1: of time to come on the segment and hang out

2184
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:14,200
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, I haven't meeting here and it's

2185
01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:16,320
Speaker 1: at two forty five. We're good we're good. I mean,

2186
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 1: but you know, I still have the ice. I got treatment.

2187
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a lot of things, so it

2188
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,280
Speaker 1: just kind of throws it off a little bit um

2189
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 1: but also positive out of it. You get an extra

2190
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:26,960
Speaker 1: day recovery. I mean, so yeah, I mean it has

2191
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 1: its pros and cons. But at the end of the day,

2192
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 1: I think everybody loves playing on primetime TV when everybody

2193
01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:33,680
Speaker 1: can see you and go out there a showcase. You

2194
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 1: know you are, you are two and one year, last

2195
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: three All right, there we go, and then we got

2196
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 1: us positive. There we go the Rangel Alexander with us.

2197
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the lowdown for Monday's game in

2198
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 1: a moment. We want to talk a little bit about

2199
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:45,760
Speaker 1: the Colts, the loss of the Colts, and the play

2200
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 1: that you had a chance to make. I could tell

2201
01:39:47,200 --> 01:39:48,800
Speaker 1: them talking to you Sunday in the locker room that

2202
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:51,120
Speaker 1: bothered you. It was a safety, could have been much

2203
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 1: more up. Yeah, I mean obviously could have been a touchdown.

2204
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,200
Speaker 1: I guess the first people saying my first touchdown of

2205
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 1: my career as well, But I think that would have

2206
01:39:57,760 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: gave us an extra little spark. You know. I don't

2207
01:39:59,880 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: know if that was the difference. But you want to

2208
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 1: make those plays when nothing seems to go right. Um yeah,

2209
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's a hustle play. I mean, it's a

2210
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:10,800
Speaker 1: fifty fifty ball and I didn't make the play, but

2211
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: we've got the safety out of it. You can see

2212
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: yourself and you can see as the ball is loose,

2213
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 1: You're you're thinking, do I go after Andrew Luck and

2214
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:18,840
Speaker 1: push him out of the wayer to go after the ball,

2215
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:20,800
Speaker 1: and you can there's a moment where you decided to

2216
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: go to the ball, right yeah. I mean because he's

2217
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:24,720
Speaker 1: he's going to go kick it. So I'm trying to

2218
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:26,639
Speaker 1: figure out do I got enough time? So I probably

2219
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 1: left my shoes a little earlier than I probably wanted to. Um,

2220
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 1: And that's just just how it happens. I mean, you're

2221
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: trying to make a hustle play. You know. I wish

2222
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:36,639
Speaker 1: I could have maybe knocked it back and maybe gave

2223
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 1: another guy a chance to get at it too, But

2224
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 1: you know, should have, could have, would have. Hopefully next

2225
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:44,200
Speaker 1: time it's scoring a touchdown something that you think. I mean,

2226
01:40:44,240 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: you've been in this league along a long time, You've

2227
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: had chances. You had a fumble back in the day

2228
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. You got to the seven yard line or

2229
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 1: something like that. Well, yeah, and I caught. You made

2230
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:55,040
Speaker 1: it seem like I got caught. So I caught the

2231
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:56,960
Speaker 1: ball in the air and the tackle was already on me,

2232
01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: pretty much tacking me. Like the Houston game. I didn't

2233
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 1: have any time to ring. You made it seem like

2234
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 1: I was running. I just read the staff about the

2235
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 1: seven and then you got tackled. No, I just wonder

2236
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:10,080
Speaker 1: you were close from the end zone. So, but is

2237
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: that something that you think about. I mean, it's a

2238
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 1: defensive player, it would be cool. It's cool to get

2239
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 1: in touchdown. Obviously, defensively, that's one of our goals every

2240
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 1: single week because we understand if you scored defensively, your

2241
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:22,040
Speaker 1: chance of winning go way up. But I just want

2242
01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 1: to be in the vicinity of making plays, and the

2243
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 1: only way you can do that as by playing hard,

2244
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 1: running to the ball, and that's what I try to

2245
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:29,760
Speaker 1: do every single play. Lorenzo Alexander Withers. You can phone

2246
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:33,200
Speaker 1: in your comments and questions for him. Eighth three fifty

2247
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 1: and twel three one eight eight eight five fifty two

2248
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,559
Speaker 1: five fifty. It was rough to watch the defense against

2249
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:40,840
Speaker 1: India after what four almost four and a half games

2250
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:43,840
Speaker 1: of strong, silent struggles with badly especially against the run,

2251
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:45,559
Speaker 1: what do you think the Coats did again on the

2252
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 1: ground that give you so much trouble? We just got

2253
01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 1: out of whack, didn't fit the runs properly, um, you know,

2254
01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 1: and once they found something, we didn't make the adjustments

2255
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 1: and they went to maybe they had maybe three or

2256
01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:59,120
Speaker 1: four different runs and it was almost, Okay, we got

2257
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 1: him here and now let's hit them there. Then let's

2258
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:02,639
Speaker 1: switch it up and hit him here. So we really

2259
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: never had a chance to adjust and maybe stop the

2260
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:07,680
Speaker 1: bleeding because they were They had multiple runs that we

2261
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:09,760
Speaker 1: couldn't stop at all. And at that point, when you

2262
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,519
Speaker 1: have multiple things you can do to somebody, it doesn't

2263
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 1: matter what you play. Okay, let's play the bounce g O.

2264
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:16,880
Speaker 1: Well we just run the tackle trap. They haven't stop

2265
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 1: that either, So we just couldn't. We couldn't do it

2266
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 1: anything right that day, and we didn't play physical upfront,

2267
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 1: and when you don't do that, it is hard to

2268
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:27,439
Speaker 1: do anything in this this league stop to pass or the run.

2269
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 1: From your experience many years in this league, what does

2270
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: your next opponent, in this case New England take from

2271
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:35,160
Speaker 1: that video, and what do you expect to see from

2272
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 1: them that they might have taken from the Expect to

2273
01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 1: see wham, expect to see tackle trap. You know obviously

2274
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:43,439
Speaker 1: probably that bounced g play because they actually, you know,

2275
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 1: you know, the league is everybody knows everybody now and

2276
01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:50,919
Speaker 1: actually the Colts, I don't know OC has a connection

2277
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. So yeah, so so he went back

2278
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,360
Speaker 1: and looked at our game probably last year, and a

2279
01:42:57,360 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 1: lot of the runs that the coach ran this year

2280
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 1: in our game Patriots ran last year against us. And

2281
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 1: so it's just a copycat league. So I'm pretty sure

2282
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 1: they talked everybody's buddies. Okay, well you need him like here,

2283
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:10,680
Speaker 1: here and here. This is how we attack them. So

2284
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 1: they'll have their own flavor to it, obviously, but they

2285
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:16,479
Speaker 1: will come and attack a similar ways along with some

2286
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 1: of the runs that they've had success throughout the entire season.

2287
01:43:18,840 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 1: When you talk about run fits, and let me see

2288
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 1: if I got this right, but essentially it's taking the

2289
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 1: front seven everybody more or less, there's a gap and

2290
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:26,680
Speaker 1: you want to fill each gap. How much is the

2291
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:28,840
Speaker 1: margin of error? I mean, I if you're Tremaine Edmunds,

2292
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: and you're a yard in the wrong spot. Is that

2293
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 1: the difference between a tackle for one and tackle for seven? Yeah,

2294
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: I mean it's a big difference because a yard off

2295
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: means that you're probably not in your gap and now

2296
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 1: you're tackling guys sideways. And in this league, when you're

2297
01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:47,400
Speaker 1: playing these dynamic running backs, they only need a little

2298
01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 1: bit of air to squeeze out. So a yard run

2299
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:51,640
Speaker 1: easily maybe turned to three or four because now you're

2300
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 1: dragging them down versus hitting them and turn them back,

2301
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 1: turn their heads back, and then like on the edge

2302
01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,200
Speaker 1: like we saw that which we call a bounce g

2303
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 1: or a strength where they pull the front side guard

2304
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 1: and they run an outside his zone. Play. If a

2305
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,519
Speaker 1: guy is not setting the edge and you're you're not

2306
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 1: in your gap, the guy that's trying to get to

2307
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:11,040
Speaker 1: that gap, the ball is running away from you. And

2308
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:12,640
Speaker 1: so it's just a hard play to make. And a

2309
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 1: guy like Mac is really explosive, and that's what he's

2310
01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 1: doing hitting that edge. We weren't setting it and we

2311
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:20,080
Speaker 1: weren't quite getting to the gap that we need to

2312
01:44:20,080 --> 01:44:21,679
Speaker 1: feel that he was running through and he was running

2313
01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 1: away from that guy and then he would get you know,

2314
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: twenty yards a pop, and when you're having things like that,

2315
01:44:27,040 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 1: it's just it's not going well for you that day.

2316
01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:31,360
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get through your low

2317
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:33,760
Speaker 1: down here in a second. But on the Patriots, they

2318
01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 1: seem to be u they're not throwing it as much

2319
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:37,800
Speaker 1: as they have maybe in recent years. They seem to

2320
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:39,320
Speaker 1: be a little more balanced. Do you see that. What

2321
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: do you see from their offense? Yeah, they're definitely balanced.

2322
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:42,679
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, time it's gonna

2323
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 1: put the ball in his hands and put their team

2324
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:49,880
Speaker 1: in the best situation. So, um, he's going to pass

2325
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: the ball, but at times, if he sees that the

2326
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:54,080
Speaker 1: front is conducive to running the ball, he will check

2327
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 1: and run the ball. Um. They do have a lot

2328
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 1: of twenty one personnels using their fullback a lot more now. Um,

2329
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: So they're trying to stay balanced at honors. But at

2330
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:02,639
Speaker 1: the end of the day, when things are on the line,

2331
01:45:02,640 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 1: we know who's gonna have the ball in his hands.

2332
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the lowdown. Then let's talk

2333
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:08,599
Speaker 1: about what it'll take for the bills. We've been asking

2334
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 1: folks on Twitter. Two let me show you the Twitter

2335
01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 1: poll and maybe before you get to your keys, you

2336
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:14,720
Speaker 1: may win a way in on this, Lorenzo. For the

2337
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:18,040
Speaker 1: Bills to upset New England on Sunday or on Monday,

2338
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: what's their best chance return to the strong defense that

2339
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:24,200
Speaker 1: you had for four games? Multiple New England turnovers, a

2340
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:26,920
Speaker 1: huge run game performance by the offense, the running backs

2341
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:29,240
Speaker 1: and offensive line, or something else. Obviously you'd like all

2342
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 1: of those to happen. But winning two tie in together,

2343
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 1: because if you strong defense is creating a lot of turnovers,

2344
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:36,719
Speaker 1: are you finding fault with their Twitter poll because people

2345
01:45:36,760 --> 01:45:38,680
Speaker 1: like people love to do that. Oh no, I'm just

2346
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:40,639
Speaker 1: saying they tie. This is one and the same. So

2347
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:42,640
Speaker 1: if you voted for one, you voted for two. If

2348
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 1: you vote for two, you might vote for one. All right,

2349
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:48,599
Speaker 1: they are the same respondents or unless you're just talking

2350
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 1: about yards wise on the first I guess it's the thing.

2351
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 1: Can you play strong defense, strong enough defense without getting

2352
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:56,519
Speaker 1: turnovers to win this game? You probably can? But yeah,

2353
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean you definitely get stop them. I mean, but

2354
01:45:58,160 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 1: it's all about winning on first and second down to

2355
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 1: put Tom Brady in third and longer situations, which is

2356
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: true with any quarterback. You don't want to allow them

2357
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: just to be able to dink and dunk and convert

2358
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 1: on a three or four yard pass because it's hard

2359
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 1: to defend them because they have a lot of pick routes.

2360
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:18,599
Speaker 1: They got a lot of weapons, big guys, you know, Gronk.

2361
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 1: You just put him over the ball, boom, that's a

2362
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:23,839
Speaker 1: first down. You have to make them extend and allow

2363
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,040
Speaker 1: the front four to really be able to get after

2364
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 1: time and make him uncomfortable. And that's necessarily half to

2365
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 1: sack him, but get him moving around, getting his feet moving,

2366
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:35,320
Speaker 1: hitting him, not giving him a clear pass as far

2367
01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:37,800
Speaker 1: as vision, because he really likes to stay obviously in

2368
01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:39,760
Speaker 1: the packet B gapter B gap and if you can

2369
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:41,840
Speaker 1: get him off that spot or make him uncomfortable, his

2370
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 1: passes become more human. Like all right, the Lowdown Lorenzo's

2371
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: keys of the game. The lowdown, And you start with

2372
01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 1: really the early portion of the game. What the defense

2373
01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:58,720
Speaker 1: has to do against the Patriots. Huh, yeah, I think

2374
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 1: I said the first fifteen. Yeah, and really really first

2375
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 1: first fifteen. So the first fifteen our producer asks plays,

2376
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:08,800
Speaker 1: and it's it's generally that refers to the script that

2377
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:10,920
Speaker 1: the offense has when they come out and they want

2378
01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 1: to give you multiple looks and see how you're gonna adjust,

2379
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:15,720
Speaker 1: how you're gonna handle certain looks, how you're gonna plan

2380
01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 1: where they're gonna be based nickel Buffalo, and then also

2381
01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: to throw you off a little bit, like last week

2382
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:26,679
Speaker 1: versus Chicago because they played Khalil Mac. They run about

2383
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 1: four or five screens in the first fifteen, a lot

2384
01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 1: of outside runs cracked Tossam trying to get you to

2385
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,559
Speaker 1: slow down play with slower eyes, and it really slow

2386
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:36,840
Speaker 1: him down in his pass rush. So it's all about

2387
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:38,839
Speaker 1: how they're going to attack us that in the initial

2388
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 1: first fifteen and be able to handle that, and my

2389
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 1: years previously being here. They give you a lot of misdirection,

2390
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 1: a lot of jets, fake reverses, screen back the other way,

2391
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:49,880
Speaker 1: gets you doing all this and worrying about all these

2392
01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 1: screens and everything, and then they settle down and getting

2393
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:54,479
Speaker 1: their regular offense, and while you're still worrying about that,

2394
01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:56,680
Speaker 1: they just start picking you apart with the things that

2395
01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:00,800
Speaker 1: they are they rely on consistently. Well, I was gonna

2396
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 1: ask that, I think you may have answered most of that.

2397
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:04,280
Speaker 1: What a teams to do after the first fifteen go

2398
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 1: back to it didn't settled back in, or if they've

2399
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:09,600
Speaker 1: exploited something that they might not have been aware of,

2400
01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:12,799
Speaker 1: they may keep hitting that, whether it's a certain concept

2401
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 1: that you can't handle or the jet motion like um

2402
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 1: last year versus New Orleans and then the Chargers and

2403
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 1: then they added it in their second game when we

2404
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:23,880
Speaker 1: played them, because we weren't able to handle it the Patriots.

2405
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:27,679
Speaker 1: So it's all about being able to to play those

2406
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 1: and handle all those checks. Because they see that you

2407
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 1: have a weakness and you have some issues getting in it,

2408
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:35,480
Speaker 1: they keep repeating successful plays until you make the adjustment.

2409
01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:38,120
Speaker 1: And sometimes against this obviously this team, in this quarterback,

2410
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:41,080
Speaker 1: you don't have that luxury. You can't you can't make

2411
01:48:41,080 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 1: one mistake because they take advantage of it, you know,

2412
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:45,840
Speaker 1: in creating a big play, and then it feels like

2413
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:47,360
Speaker 1: you're playing catch up the rest of the game. Why

2414
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 1: do offenses do fifteen? What's that supposed to be? One? Two?

2415
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: I think that's the West Coast thing. I mean, yes,

2416
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:56,320
Speaker 1: it's normally the first Yeah, probably two and a half drive,

2417
01:48:56,439 --> 01:48:58,400
Speaker 1: depending you know, if they get a touchdown or if

2418
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:01,120
Speaker 1: they go you know, three or five out the first

2419
01:49:01,439 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 1: drive or not. But it's a West Coast concept that

2420
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 1: I think Bill Walsh came up with years ago, and

2421
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:09,559
Speaker 1: really just just for that because you have a general idea,

2422
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:11,400
Speaker 1: but it really allows you to kind of as a

2423
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 1: coordinator and say, Okay, this is where I feel comfortable,

2424
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:15,640
Speaker 1: this is where my guys feel comfortable, and this is

2425
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:17,439
Speaker 1: the weakness that this team is not adjusting to. So

2426
01:49:17,560 --> 01:49:19,040
Speaker 1: let's stick right here. And the last question they have

2427
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: on this topic, dode defenses have anything similar. Let's run

2428
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:26,479
Speaker 1: this defense these concepts early and maybe on some third

2429
01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 1: downs when you want to see how they may gonna

2430
01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:31,240
Speaker 1: adjust to something, or like a blitz, and then later

2431
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:33,439
Speaker 1: on you may come back with something different that looks

2432
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:35,720
Speaker 1: the same, but it's a different blist of capitalize on it.

2433
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 1: But we don't have anything that's traditional as a first fifteen.

2434
01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 1: I think that's more of in the mind of the

2435
01:49:41,120 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 1: coordinating Let me show them this early and then we'll

2436
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 1: switch it up later and try to steal a play. Okay,

2437
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander with the lowdown as he gets through the

2438
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:51,280
Speaker 1: keys for the bills, your second key, and normally you

2439
01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:53,479
Speaker 1: hear people say, well, I don't care about time of possession.

2440
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:55,639
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about time of possession, But you think that's

2441
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 1: important in this kid, Yeah, it's very important. And it's

2442
01:49:57,520 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 1: not just about possessing the ball. It's about our off

2443
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:02,439
Speaker 1: and sustainding drives, not going three and out, showing some

2444
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 1: consistency driving the field because obviously that keeps Tom Brady

2445
01:50:06,040 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 1: off the field. That helps us out, and then also

2446
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:10,840
Speaker 1: defensively getting off the field on third day. So I

2447
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:12,240
Speaker 1: think there's a tie in and that. So I say

2448
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:14,760
Speaker 1: time or possession, but it's more of a complimentary football

2449
01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 1: as far as defensive offense really working together and dominating

2450
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:21,080
Speaker 1: their side so we can minimize their opportunities. As far

2451
01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:23,639
Speaker 1: as putting up points to give our offense obviously, who's

2452
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 1: with a new quarterback second week in Derek Anderson, more

2453
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 1: opportunities to tie their defense out, get more opportunities to

2454
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:32,639
Speaker 1: score the ball. That's gonna give us a chance to wind.

2455
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: I heard when you were there yesterday, Sean McDermot kind

2456
01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 1: of touching on this right are you're talking about? And

2457
01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 1: I think it's an underrated aspect of NFL football. Complimentary

2458
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 1: football and they all all three elements play into it.

2459
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:44,320
Speaker 1: So for sure you know all three phases, do I

2460
01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 1: think the thing I've been motion pressure with the defense

2461
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 1: so far as the way you guys compliment each other.

2462
01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 1: You know, if the front four is getting pass protection

2463
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 1: or pass pressure, it covers for the fact that the

2464
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:55,080
Speaker 1: secondary might be a little off. It's been working no

2465
01:50:55,120 --> 01:50:57,559
Speaker 1: matter who you know, you guys are faced. There's always

2466
01:50:57,600 --> 01:50:59,400
Speaker 1: someone there who's making the right play, who's in the

2467
01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:01,719
Speaker 1: right spot the time. And you know, as a defense

2468
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 1: you have to, you know, be confident the fact that

2469
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:05,000
Speaker 1: the guy nextually is going to do his job. I

2470
01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:06,880
Speaker 1: don't have to do anything more than my to using

2471
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:09,320
Speaker 1: mcdermotry right right, yeah, yeah, I mean, and that's what

2472
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 1: it comes down to, because when you do too much,

2473
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 1: you end up the play, end up hitting where you

2474
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 1: should have been at. I mean, this is my experience

2475
01:51:15,320 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 1: over time. You know, you just need to do your job,

2476
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 1: do it at a high level within your the box

2477
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:22,760
Speaker 1: or scheme that's been given to you, and then more

2478
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:25,120
Speaker 1: times than not, you end up making those plays. Lorenzo

2479
01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 1: your third lowdown, pretty basic, execute and finish what they

2480
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:29,760
Speaker 1: have in mind there. Yeah, I mean, this is how

2481
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:32,240
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots have been so dominant over the

2482
01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 1: last what fifteen years, is that they capitalize on your

2483
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 1: mistakes when you don't execute well, and then teams for

2484
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:42,200
Speaker 1: some reason in the third and fourth quarter just kind

2485
01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:45,680
Speaker 1: of lose it mentally, physically, I don't know what it is.

2486
01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 1: And they just finished to seem to get stronger and

2487
01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:51,519
Speaker 1: better as the game goes on. And because our two

2488
01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:53,320
Speaker 1: games last year, you know, we go back and watch

2489
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:56,280
Speaker 1: these games, we're leading in the third quarter, like, man,

2490
01:51:56,360 --> 01:51:59,000
Speaker 1: what happened? You know? Why? Why why couldn't we finish

2491
01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 1: these games out and win these games? So we have

2492
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:02,880
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to be able to finish

2493
01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:05,639
Speaker 1: strong and execute and make the play where we're winning

2494
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 1: and not Tom Brady or their defense or whatever they're

2495
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 1: making the play and making this all man to go

2496
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 1: to Patriots again. They really schemed them up. Yeah, when

2497
01:52:13,200 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 1: ultimately we didn't execut at a high enough level to

2498
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:17,960
Speaker 1: give ourselves a chance. You talk about the mental game,

2499
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:19,720
Speaker 1: and you said, you know right at the top that

2500
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 1: you you don't mind the mystique whatever that is of

2501
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:24,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots, right, how many of these younger guys though, yeah,

2502
01:52:24,960 --> 01:52:27,479
Speaker 1: you guys have have a hard round. I was in

2503
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:32,200
Speaker 1: there yester year, you know, I mean then I get that.

2504
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean if this is your first year. You've grown

2505
01:52:34,520 --> 01:52:37,679
Speaker 1: up watching Tom Brady and the Patriots kind of dominate

2506
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:40,160
Speaker 1: the NFL of the last you know, um team years.

2507
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:43,799
Speaker 1: So you can speak to it, but until you actually

2508
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 1: go out there and play and compete against him, He's

2509
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:49,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady to you, like, man, this dude the goat.

2510
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:51,360
Speaker 1: You know, you've been arguing about it for years, you know,

2511
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:53,240
Speaker 1: So it was that was how it was kind of

2512
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:54,960
Speaker 1: for me when I came to the league and you know,

2513
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:57,160
Speaker 1: you're playing against some of the top guys like Michael Vick.

2514
01:52:57,280 --> 01:52:59,320
Speaker 1: You know it was for me. I grew up watching him, like, man,

2515
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:03,040
Speaker 1: this is Michael. So you have to at the end

2516
01:53:03,080 --> 01:53:04,360
Speaker 1: of the day, you just have to not worry. But

2517
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:06,720
Speaker 1: you have to overcome it. I mean, can't watch him

2518
01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:08,840
Speaker 1: because if you're watching him, he's thrown it to your

2519
01:53:08,840 --> 01:53:10,680
Speaker 1: guy and now you look at dad on TV and

2520
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:12,680
Speaker 1: your boy's gonna be hitting you. Ay. Tom Brady just

2521
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: dogged you out how you're doing. You know, So we've

2522
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,120
Speaker 1: spoken to it. You know, guys has got to worry

2523
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:20,960
Speaker 1: about it. Don't get caught up in watching what he's

2524
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 1: doing back there. Just do your job and execute, and

2525
01:53:23,680 --> 01:53:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, talk to him after the game, if you

2526
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:27,320
Speaker 1: want to say, what's up? I ask you a question

2527
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:30,000
Speaker 1: that Finns debate this all the time. Yes, Brady is great,

2528
01:53:30,120 --> 01:53:33,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer for sure. How much is Belichick a

2529
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:34,880
Speaker 1: factor here? What do you think? How much credit you

2530
01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:36,479
Speaker 1: want to give him? I'm pretty sure he has a

2531
01:53:36,520 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 1: significant amount of credit due to him because players go

2532
01:53:40,400 --> 01:53:44,599
Speaker 1: from place to place and have success with one coach

2533
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:47,639
Speaker 1: versus another. So there is probably a scheme element, comfort,

2534
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:51,679
Speaker 1: a comfort element knowing what to expect being around Belichick. Obviously,

2535
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:53,400
Speaker 1: I've never been in the locker room, so I don't

2536
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:58,240
Speaker 1: know what that relationship looks like. How much he puts

2537
01:53:58,320 --> 01:54:00,400
Speaker 1: into the office. I know he's been a defense of guy,

2538
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:02,600
Speaker 1: so he's getting He's obviously putting Tom Brady in the

2539
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:04,840
Speaker 1: position to win because their defense through those years have

2540
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,639
Speaker 1: been really good as well. Schemes guys up and gets

2541
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:10,400
Speaker 1: time but the ball back. So there's obviously been a

2542
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 1: complimentary relationship there that's done well. So how much I

2543
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:15,960
Speaker 1: don't know, but I mean, obviously Tom Brady's one of

2544
01:54:15,960 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 1: the greats, and Belichick has something to do with that.

2545
01:54:18,720 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 1: Last question I have for you, um NFL travel, It's

2546
01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:23,840
Speaker 1: not difficult right, you're you're in charter plane just seeing

2547
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:28,120
Speaker 1: great hotels, eat great food. But it's you gotta be

2548
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 1: happy about being home. Both were enjoying it travel here,

2549
01:54:33,280 --> 01:54:35,600
Speaker 1: especially when you have to change time zone stuff and

2550
01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 1: the older I've gotten the worst I feel on the

2551
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:41,200
Speaker 1: way back. It's not going going it's cool, you know,

2552
01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:43,320
Speaker 1: you kind of just but after playing a game, you

2553
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:45,920
Speaker 1: get back laid. Your body has to switch over. I

2554
01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 1: don't know, old age whatever, I don't know. I don't

2555
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:50,000
Speaker 1: know if you have felt worse over the years you've

2556
01:54:50,040 --> 01:54:55,840
Speaker 1: been here to say, I don't know, but I'm just hey,

2557
01:54:55,880 --> 01:54:57,640
Speaker 1: you've been around a little bit. It's a good thing.

2558
01:54:57,720 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 1: It's a good thing that people can pick on, you know.

2559
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't travel well. Like I said Monday, Tuesday,

2560
01:55:03,720 --> 01:55:06,320
Speaker 1: I might start feeling decent as far as my sleep

2561
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:08,680
Speaker 1: wise on Wednesday. So it's just much harder on the body.

2562
01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:11,560
Speaker 1: Playing a game, exerting yourself and then flying. Flying is

2563
01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:14,000
Speaker 1: already hard on your body if you're just doing normal

2564
01:55:14,040 --> 01:55:16,680
Speaker 1: travel to go on vacation. Now you're throwing a you know,

2565
01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 1: a sixty minute football game, when you straining and trying

2566
01:55:19,600 --> 01:55:21,839
Speaker 1: to make plays, it just adds on top, and obviously

2567
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:23,680
Speaker 1: the old age doesn't help with that either. You'll be

2568
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:26,280
Speaker 1: home for Halloween. You were home for the Bills Halloween

2569
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:30,840
Speaker 1: party here at the one. You dressed up as what

2570
01:55:31,080 --> 01:55:34,560
Speaker 1: the black panther from the Moon Imbaku. Yeah, our family

2571
01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:38,400
Speaker 1: was black Panther. Yeah. So my daughter was a general,

2572
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:41,960
Speaker 1: my wife was the queen, My oldest son was black Panther,

2573
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:46,440
Speaker 1: and then the baby Miles he was killed Monger the

2574
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:49,920
Speaker 1: cousin so m y So yeah, that's cool that the

2575
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 1: costume I have on my wife made from like jacket.

2576
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 1: She got to the thrift store and some fabrics. Yeah,

2577
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:57,360
Speaker 1: so she did a good job. She was upset that

2578
01:55:57,440 --> 01:56:00,440
Speaker 1: we lost. So we didn't win the competition. I think

2579
01:56:00,520 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 1: Jerry one who was really cool. He would think it

2580
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:05,440
Speaker 1: was Jerry, pat and van Ramone Humbert were like the

2581
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:08,160
Speaker 1: three families that they got something. Okay, well, good good

2582
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:10,520
Speaker 1: effort anyway. Yeah, yeah, we tried. We tried so well.

2593
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:51,880
Speaker 1: OCTV and Rochester Channel, Eating Rochester. How do you like

2594
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:54,360
Speaker 1: co hosting the show? That it's been fun? This is

2595
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:56,320
Speaker 1: your toes. I'll tell you what man as a guy

2596
01:56:56,560 --> 01:56:58,280
Speaker 1: I said this earlier, as a guy who likes to

2597
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 1: watch the All twenty two and go through film talking

2598
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:03,400
Speaker 1: to Great Cosell. That's like the goat of film. So

2599
01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:05,480
Speaker 1: being at having fifteen minutes with him was great. But

2600
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:07,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, sitting with Lorenzo Alexander and I

2601
01:57:07,760 --> 01:57:09,280
Speaker 1: told him this as he walked, and I said, it's

2602
01:57:09,320 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 1: fun to have an opportunity to talk in an atmosphere

2603
01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:15,880
Speaker 1: that's not kind to the sort of adversarial media player thing.

2604
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 1: This was a lot more congenial. And he's a great

2605
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 1: guy and he has always has been fantastic with Yeah,

2606
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:22,040
Speaker 1: one of the best things that I've found. We've done

2607
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:24,680
Speaker 1: this show well six seven years, that one and the

2608
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:27,880
Speaker 1: TV side here two plus years. When you get the

2609
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:29,440
Speaker 1: guys out of the locker room and it's not that

2610
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 1: standard reporter back and forth Q and A, guys kind

2611
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:34,400
Speaker 1: of relaxed a little bit. If they're comfortable. When most

2612
01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:37,280
Speaker 1: of them in, Lorenzo is extremely comfortable, and they'll they'll

2613
01:57:37,280 --> 01:57:39,040
Speaker 1: talk and it's fun. I think it's good for viewers

2614
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:40,480
Speaker 1: and listeners. Hey, it's nice too to have some an

2615
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk about stuff that isn't how you're gonna

2616
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:44,400
Speaker 1: attack this wide receiver? What are you gonna do on

2617
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 1: this fourth down play? You know it's Hey, look at

2618
01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 1: that Halloween costume your wife made. It's fantastic. So it

2619
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:51,520
Speaker 1: makes it easier. Lorenzo is one of the best. We're

2620
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 1: glad to hear your dad. Dad's here till three. You're

2621
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:55,840
Speaker 1: welcome to join us. You can participate in our Twitter

2622
01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 1: poll deals with Monday Night's game and it's for real.

2623
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 1: You may a couple of people have called it out

2624
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:04,640
Speaker 1: as kind of a joke. It's not a joke, believe

2625
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:06,240
Speaker 1: it or not. I don't know from you. If the

2626
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 1: bills pull the upset, and it would be a monumental

2627
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:10,880
Speaker 1: upset as big as the upset at Minnesota was. This

2628
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:12,920
Speaker 1: would be bigger, right if they beat the If they

2629
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:15,960
Speaker 1: go ahead and beat the spread doesn't say so in

2630
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:17,400
Speaker 1: the game is at home, this would be a bigger

2631
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 1: deal because of New England. We don't know from you

2632
01:58:19,720 --> 01:58:22,280
Speaker 1: what's the Bill's best chance at upsetting the Patriots. What

2633
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:24,840
Speaker 1: do you think? On Twitter? Fifty seven percent of you

2634
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:28,000
Speaker 1: say it's getting multiple turnovers from New England. Twenty two

2635
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 1: percent of you say it's going back to the defense

2636
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:33,520
Speaker 1: they were playing for about four games before Indie, eight

2637
01:58:33,520 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 1: percent say a big game from the rushing attack, and

2638
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:38,640
Speaker 1: thirteen percent have something else in mind. Let's hear from

2639
01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:40,880
Speaker 1: your phone. Line's open eight oh three oh five fifty

2640
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:44,560
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

2641
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:46,400
Speaker 1: or on Twitter, we'll read some of the tweets. Let's

2642
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:48,440
Speaker 1: take a phone call here from Joe and Tonawanda. Joe,

2643
01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:52,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Hi, guys, Hi to Lorenzo.

2644
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: I love him. I wish they could meet him. What

2645
01:58:56,840 --> 01:59:02,480
Speaker 1: we need is to run the ball and hopefully got turnovers.

2646
01:59:02,520 --> 01:59:07,560
Speaker 1: Like you're saying, we gotta the fuel position, keep them

2647
01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:12,600
Speaker 1: down and there end and uh throw short passes. Um.

2648
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:16,520
Speaker 1: My other question is is this Austin Pole? Is he

2649
01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:20,080
Speaker 1: uh ever gonna play? Is? Well, he's not on the roster,

2650
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:22,280
Speaker 1: nor is he on the practice squad. He was let go.

2651
01:59:23,120 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 1: I think the Rams signed him. I didn't even know

2652
01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:27,280
Speaker 1: that is on the ram p squad. I did not

2653
01:59:27,400 --> 01:59:31,440
Speaker 1: know that. Oh not here. How about trading for the

2654
01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:37,440
Speaker 1: guy from Cincinnati Ericson? Is he available? I think they

2655
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: like him down there. He's their primary return guy, I

2656
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:41,800
Speaker 1: think punt returns, and I think they like him as

2657
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 1: part of their offense as well. I hear I like

2658
01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:47,880
Speaker 1: to see some action with wide receivers maybe coming in

2659
01:59:48,040 --> 01:59:50,320
Speaker 1: going by the trade deadline next Tuesday. I mean, I

2660
01:59:50,360 --> 01:59:53,240
Speaker 1: think that's the obvious area of need for the Bills.

2661
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:56,640
Speaker 1: I think they are if the season continues to go

2662
01:59:56,680 --> 01:59:58,880
Speaker 1: on a downward path here, they may just start playing

2663
01:59:58,880 --> 02:00:01,520
Speaker 1: some of their young receivers and even the guys you

2664
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:03,760
Speaker 1: know who are around and not playing right now might

2665
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:06,240
Speaker 1: get some reps here, because let's face it, it it can't

2666
02:00:06,240 --> 02:00:08,400
Speaker 1: get much worse at that position group. If you really

2667
02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:09,600
Speaker 1: want to go that way, you can see a game

2668
02:00:09,600 --> 02:00:11,600
Speaker 1: where you play Cam Phillips and Robert Foster and bring

2669
02:00:11,640 --> 02:00:13,160
Speaker 1: them both up. You know, I just don't. I don't

2670
02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:15,400
Speaker 1: think there's any sense to adding anything if you're going

2671
02:00:15,480 --> 02:00:17,320
Speaker 1: to spend a future asset. I don't want to trade

2672
02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:19,320
Speaker 1: a draft pickaway for a wide receiver to try and

2673
02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:21,520
Speaker 1: salvage this two and five season. If you're building for

2674
02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:24,080
Speaker 1: the future, save those future assets now. If you could

2675
02:00:24,080 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 1: pull a Kelvin Shepherd for Jerry Hughes type trade, you know,

2676
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 1: someone you got that you don't necessarily need for someone

2677
02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:30,880
Speaker 1: else's problem, and see if that works here. I'm off

2678
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:32,400
Speaker 1: of something like that. Yeah, what do you think? What's

2679
02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:34,560
Speaker 1: the best chance of Bills have to upset the Patriots?

2680
02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:36,840
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight oh three h five fifty

2681
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:39,360
Speaker 1: or two three one eight eight eight five fifty two

2682
02:00:39,400 --> 02:00:41,960
Speaker 1: five fifty or on Twitter it can send in a tweet.

2683
02:00:41,960 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 1: We'll read something from the tweet sheet here. Thomas Derlac

2684
02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 1: when we ask the question best chance, he said, I

2685
02:00:46,280 --> 02:00:48,960
Speaker 1: voted other. Do not turn the ball over, control the

2686
02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:52,320
Speaker 1: clock with long drives, convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns?

2687
02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Do you not get into a shootout? We cannot keep up.

2688
02:00:54,840 --> 02:00:58,800
Speaker 1: There's no question about that these Patriots averaging thirty nine

2689
02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 1: points per game over their last and the red zone

2690
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:03,240
Speaker 1: point is a great one if the Bills are gonna

2691
02:01:03,240 --> 02:01:05,400
Speaker 1: pull off an upset, you know, winning the red zone

2692
02:01:05,480 --> 02:01:06,720
Speaker 1: both ways is a great way to do it. You

2693
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:09,480
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about fifteen turnovers or deflections bouncing

2694
02:01:09,520 --> 02:01:12,120
Speaker 1: into your hands. If you score touchdowns and they score

2695
02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:13,920
Speaker 1: field goals, I don't care who it is, you're gonna

2696
02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:15,480
Speaker 1: have a pretty good chance to at least be in

2697
02:01:15,520 --> 02:01:18,560
Speaker 1: that game. Another one from the tweet sheet from Floyd Mentor,

2698
02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:20,960
Speaker 1: if you think about it, he says all of these

2699
02:01:20,960 --> 02:01:23,000
Speaker 1: points are important in order to win, but pressure on

2700
02:01:23,080 --> 02:01:25,440
Speaker 1: Brady is tops in my book. We need a performance

2701
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:28,600
Speaker 1: by the defense like they had against the Texans. He writes.

2702
02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:30,640
Speaker 1: We are still ranked fourth in defense, so that'll be

2703
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:34,400
Speaker 1: the marquee matchup. So pressure and turnovers we'll take it. Right.

2704
02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:36,360
Speaker 1: It sounds like Lorenzo knows that's kind of the key

2705
02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:38,400
Speaker 1: here too. Right. Pressure against the Texans is a little

2706
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's a false positive, but

2707
02:01:40,800 --> 02:01:42,560
Speaker 1: the Texans have one of the worst offensive lines in

2708
02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:44,840
Speaker 1: the league, a lot easier to get pressure on their

2709
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:47,320
Speaker 1: quarterback than New England, not that the Bills can't do it.

2710
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Their front four has been very good. I like the

2711
02:01:49,040 --> 02:01:51,920
Speaker 1: fact that Lorenzo plays defensive tackle along with Trent Murphy

2712
02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:55,400
Speaker 1: who won't probably play it this week seemingly, and with

2713
02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes has been a pretty dangerous

2714
02:01:57,840 --> 02:02:00,840
Speaker 1: pass rushing front four. Yeah, you would think the the

2715
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:03,839
Speaker 1: rotation up front's going to change. The Bill's injury report

2716
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 1: from today is out after this Friday practice. Tomorrow will

2717
02:02:07,520 --> 02:02:09,400
Speaker 1: be the big day when they give you the Sunday

2718
02:02:09,480 --> 02:02:11,840
Speaker 1: status the game. I'm sorry the game day status. But

2719
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:14,840
Speaker 1: as for today, no practice for Josh Allen with his

2720
02:02:14,880 --> 02:02:17,920
Speaker 1: elbow again, no practice for Taiwan Jones with his neck,

2721
02:02:18,120 --> 02:02:20,520
Speaker 1: and no practice for Trent Murphy two straight days out

2722
02:02:20,520 --> 02:02:23,480
Speaker 1: with his knee. Limited work today from Derek Anderson again

2723
02:02:23,520 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 1: with his back and his calf issue, Chris Ivory limited

2724
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:29,400
Speaker 1: again with his hamstring la Sean McCoy limited with a

2725
02:02:29,480 --> 02:02:32,360
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, and Jordan Mills shows up on the injury

2726
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:35,720
Speaker 1: list today. He is limited, Yeah, he is limited with

2727
02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:39,280
Speaker 1: the knee injury. Full practice for Lorenzo, Alexander and Kyle Williams.

2728
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:42,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Mills comes out of nowhere there at that limited today,

2729
02:02:42,480 --> 02:02:45,400
Speaker 1: not to help, but limited and Derek Anderson's second day

2730
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:47,520
Speaker 1: on the limited list. Does that mean anything? Do you think?

2731
02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna play right. I think Derek Anderson

2732
02:02:50,320 --> 02:02:52,280
Speaker 1: is probably fine that you know that screams out to me.

2733
02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:54,560
Speaker 1: He's limited for being thirty five years old, which is

2734
02:02:54,640 --> 02:02:56,840
Speaker 1: probably gonna mean he's gonna be okay to go on

2735
02:02:56,880 --> 02:02:58,920
Speaker 1: Monday night. Jordan Mills is a concerning one. You know,

2736
02:02:58,920 --> 02:03:01,120
Speaker 1: when a guy shows up up the injury report during

2737
02:03:01,200 --> 02:03:04,040
Speaker 1: the week, that indicates something happened out of practice, and

2738
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:06,280
Speaker 1: it may not be it may be very minor, but

2739
02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, when that happens, then there's a new issue

2740
02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:11,360
Speaker 1: that's that's cropped up and something that bears watching for sure.

2741
02:03:11,440 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Because that offensive line has been, you know, somewhere in

2742
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:18,120
Speaker 1: the realm of decent, too good almost this year. They've

2743
02:03:18,160 --> 02:03:21,040
Speaker 1: been better than expected. And you know, you talk about

2744
02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:23,840
Speaker 1: this offense struggling, they are not high in the list

2745
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:28,520
Speaker 1: of problems. Offensively, they've been okay. Yeah. Um. Sean McDermott

2746
02:03:28,520 --> 02:03:30,680
Speaker 1: meets with the media tomorrow morning before practice. I want

2747
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 1: to say about ten fifteen, ten twenty, he will amplify

2748
02:03:33,640 --> 02:03:37,200
Speaker 1: some of those issues on the injury report. I'm sure

2749
02:03:37,240 --> 02:03:39,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning you can go to Buffalo Bills dot com

2750
02:03:39,280 --> 02:03:41,560
Speaker 1: for that information. Let's go to Mike in New Jersey. Mike,

2751
02:03:41,600 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. You're on the air with us.

2752
02:03:42,960 --> 02:03:47,400
Speaker 1: How are you, John? I Pad? How are you today? Good?

2753
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:52,160
Speaker 1: How you doing? I'm doing good? Hey listen, Um, this

2754
02:03:52,240 --> 02:03:56,160
Speaker 1: is not a joke, but I think you know the

2755
02:03:56,160 --> 02:03:58,320
Speaker 1: best thing what we can do is the first playoff

2756
02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:02,480
Speaker 1: the game, take a helmet right onto Brady hit Brady

2757
02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 1: in his knee, and so he told his play of

2758
02:04:05,640 --> 02:04:09,880
Speaker 1: the game, and and maybe early in the game, middle

2759
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 1: of the field and Rob Gronkowski just hit him helmet

2760
02:04:12,760 --> 02:04:15,680
Speaker 1: to helmet, hit him, get him Punker think, Okay, it's

2761
02:04:15,720 --> 02:04:17,520
Speaker 1: not a joke, Mike, but it's stupid. Then if you

2762
02:04:17,560 --> 02:04:20,720
Speaker 1: really mean that, it's stupid. And uh, it's inappropriate to

2763
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:22,800
Speaker 1: suggest that they would take somebody out by the knee

2764
02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:26,040
Speaker 1: and somebody else out with a with a with a concussion.

2765
02:04:26,240 --> 02:04:29,480
Speaker 1: If you're saying it's not a joke, okay, then it's stupid.

2766
02:04:30,280 --> 02:04:32,320
Speaker 1: What do you think? No, there's there's no doubt about that.

2767
02:04:32,360 --> 02:04:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean, why don't why not just talk about bringing

2768
02:04:34,320 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 1: a bat on the field. That was the next way

2769
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:38,120
Speaker 1: we'll play for going with that. Thanks for the call, Mike,

2770
02:04:38,440 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to NFL. True or false brought to you

2771
02:04:40,400 --> 02:04:43,360
Speaker 1: by Yancey's Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. Texans with

2772
02:04:43,480 --> 02:04:46,280
Speaker 1: a big win yesterday, right, huge second half yesterday against

2773
02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Miami Pro Football Talk wonders. Well, DeAndre Hopkins said it.

2774
02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:51,920
Speaker 1: He said, I think we have the best offense in

2775
02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:54,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. Did the Texans have the best offense in

2776
02:04:54,760 --> 02:04:57,320
Speaker 1: the National Football League? True or false? Dad? You can

2777
02:04:57,360 --> 02:05:01,560
Speaker 1: go first, decidedly false. Yeah. Look, Shawn Hopkins is fantastic.

2778
02:05:02,120 --> 02:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Watson has got I think a high ceiling in this league.

2779
02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm a proud Lamar Miller fantasy owner. He's been okay

2780
02:05:07,560 --> 02:05:09,360
Speaker 1: for me this year. But no, they are They're not

2781
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:12,120
Speaker 1: even close. To be honest, I think they are only

2782
02:05:12,160 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 1: the best offense in their own division. You put them

2783
02:05:14,440 --> 02:05:16,360
Speaker 1: in any of the other seven divisions, I can find

2784
02:05:16,400 --> 02:05:19,560
Speaker 1: an offense that's better. They're improving. I think their five

2785
02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:21,840
Speaker 1: game winning streak is in large part taking advantage of

2786
02:05:21,880 --> 02:05:24,600
Speaker 1: a very soft schedule. Look, they caught the Bills on

2787
02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:27,320
Speaker 1: a week where Nathan Peterman kind of unfortunately turned it

2788
02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:29,320
Speaker 1: over in the wrong spot and almost donated a win

2789
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:32,120
Speaker 1: to Houston. There. The Indianapolis win and overtime was weird.

2790
02:05:32,160 --> 02:05:34,560
Speaker 1: The Dallas win and overtime was weird. So this is

2791
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:36,400
Speaker 1: not a team that I am at all intimidated by

2792
02:05:36,480 --> 02:05:38,200
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I agree with you. It's false. They

2793
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:39,960
Speaker 1: do none of the best offense. Going into the last

2794
02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:42,120
Speaker 1: night's game. They were right in the middle of the

2795
02:05:42,160 --> 02:05:46,000
Speaker 1: pack offensively in the in the NFL, ranked sixteenth. Look,

2796
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 1: they're two weeks removed from almost struggling to score twenty points. Actually,

2797
02:05:50,240 --> 02:05:53,680
Speaker 1: the offense scored thirteen points against the Bills, and great

2798
02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:55,880
Speaker 1: that with a pass inference not only too. Basically, that's

2799
02:05:55,920 --> 02:05:58,600
Speaker 1: not the best offense in the NFL. That's good for you,

2800
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:01,200
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Glad you think that way. But it's not true.

2801
02:06:01,240 --> 02:06:03,000
Speaker 1: They do not have the best offense in the NFL.

2802
02:06:03,400 --> 02:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Part two, NFL True and false. The Cardinals should trade

2803
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:10,840
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald before the deadline on Tuesday. True or false?

2804
02:06:10,920 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: Then you want to take tackle that one. Yeah, I'm

2805
02:06:12,720 --> 02:06:15,200
Speaker 1: gonna go true. You know, I love Larry Fitzgerald. I

2806
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:17,360
Speaker 1: think he's fantastic, and I think He's a great example,

2807
02:06:17,480 --> 02:06:20,040
Speaker 1: especially for a young quarterback like Josh Rosen. But this

2808
02:06:20,080 --> 02:06:22,920
Speaker 1: team is so far away, and I don't think Larry

2809
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald a guy that's going to be around. You know,

2810
02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:28,760
Speaker 1: whenever this finger quotes process matures, go out and get

2811
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:30,800
Speaker 1: an asset for him. You know, he'd look good in

2812
02:06:30,840 --> 02:06:32,640
Speaker 1: a lot of different places. Is the final piece of

2813
02:06:32,640 --> 02:06:34,800
Speaker 1: an offensive puzzle. I think you could probably get a

2814
02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:38,160
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, maybe a third for someone who's really desperate.

2815
02:06:38,280 --> 02:06:40,040
Speaker 1: So I would I would put him out there on

2816
02:06:40,080 --> 02:06:42,280
Speaker 1: the table at the trade deadline and see what you

2817
02:06:42,320 --> 02:06:44,240
Speaker 1: can get back for him. I would not I would

2818
02:06:44,280 --> 02:06:47,120
Speaker 1: go false on this, and it's not you know, it's

2819
02:06:47,160 --> 02:06:49,760
Speaker 1: not maybe not even the smart move to propose. But

2820
02:06:49,800 --> 02:06:52,760
Speaker 1: you know what, Larry Fitzgerald is a foundational player, the

2821
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:56,200
Speaker 1: most important player in Arizona Cardinals franchise history. I don't

2822
02:06:56,200 --> 02:06:57,720
Speaker 1: want to see him playing anywhere else. I don't know

2823
02:06:57,760 --> 02:06:59,800
Speaker 1: how much more time he has, what maybe one more year?

2824
02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:02,400
Speaker 1: Maybe not. Yeah, I'm with you in terms of if

2825
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to go anywhere, he's spent enough time

2826
02:07:04,400 --> 02:07:06,360
Speaker 1: there to make that call. But if you're looking at

2827
02:07:06,440 --> 02:07:08,760
Speaker 1: just from a roster building point of view, I think

2828
02:07:08,760 --> 02:07:10,920
Speaker 1: that team, wherever it's gonna go, is better off with

2829
02:07:10,960 --> 02:07:12,760
Speaker 1: whatever picking can for him, not with him. I think

2830
02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:15,600
Speaker 1: he's too important to the whole culture there the Arizona Cardinals.

2831
02:07:15,680 --> 02:07:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm a closet Arizona Cardinals fan. They're having a brutal

2832
02:07:18,800 --> 02:07:21,840
Speaker 1: year of a terrible offense kind of right along in

2833
02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:23,560
Speaker 1: the locks up with the Bills. So far as far

2834
02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:26,360
Speaker 1: as offensive struggles, I would hate to see Larry Fitzgerald

2835
02:07:26,360 --> 02:07:29,040
Speaker 1: play anywhere else. So I'm going false on that. NFL

2836
02:07:29,080 --> 02:07:31,560
Speaker 1: True or False Brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New

2837
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:33,760
Speaker 1: York's artist in chiefs Dad Brown, John Murphy and our

2838
02:07:33,760 --> 02:07:37,440
Speaker 1: one Buffalo Studio one More. A tweet sheet answer to

2839
02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:40,800
Speaker 1: our question about the Bills and what's their best chance

2840
02:07:40,800 --> 02:07:45,200
Speaker 1: of winning? What has to happen? This is from Brian Cook.

2841
02:07:45,440 --> 02:07:48,520
Speaker 1: On the tweet sheet, he says other is his choice.

2842
02:07:48,560 --> 02:07:51,000
Speaker 1: He said to stand a chance, the Bills must put

2843
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:53,840
Speaker 1: Brady on the turf early and often make this way.

2844
02:07:53,840 --> 02:07:55,720
Speaker 1: I like this why I'm reading it. Make him feel

2845
02:07:55,720 --> 02:07:58,680
Speaker 1: Father Time's icy grip on his bones as he picks

2846
02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:01,200
Speaker 1: himself off the ground for the fifteenth time in one day.

2847
02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:03,280
Speaker 1: But we have to do it without blitzing, because that's

2848
02:08:03,280 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: how he picks people apart. Now, Brian, your answer is good,

2849
02:08:06,560 --> 02:08:08,720
Speaker 1: much different than the stupid call we had a couple

2850
02:08:08,720 --> 02:08:11,480
Speaker 1: of minutes ago. Put him on the ground, you know,

2851
02:08:11,680 --> 02:08:14,160
Speaker 1: make him hurt, don't hurt him, don't take out his knee,

2852
02:08:14,160 --> 02:08:17,400
Speaker 1: don't give him a concussion, but hit him. Kelso made

2853
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:19,760
Speaker 1: a good point to add about how you got to

2854
02:08:19,800 --> 02:08:22,240
Speaker 1: put pressure on Brady, but a four man rush is

2855
02:08:22,240 --> 02:08:23,840
Speaker 1: not going to do it. I think he's right about that.

2856
02:08:24,040 --> 02:08:26,000
Speaker 1: The Bills are not a team that blitz is often.

2857
02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:29,240
Speaker 1: This might be the game, especially as it moves along

2858
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:31,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, for the Bills to change that up

2859
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:33,120
Speaker 1: a little bit and send not all the time, but

2860
02:08:33,200 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 1: send more pass rushes, more than four to put a

2861
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:37,840
Speaker 1: to make an impact on Brady and make him make

2862
02:08:37,920 --> 02:08:39,520
Speaker 1: him feel it when he wants to step back and

2863
02:08:39,600 --> 02:08:41,480
Speaker 1: step back there and pass. The Bills do do a

2864
02:08:41,480 --> 02:08:43,960
Speaker 1: lot of what I guess we'll be called zone blitzing

2865
02:08:43,960 --> 02:08:45,560
Speaker 1: type stuff where you send a corner and drop a

2866
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:47,760
Speaker 1: defensive end. You know, Trent Murphy and Jerry Hughes have

2867
02:08:47,800 --> 02:08:49,640
Speaker 1: done a lot when it comes to pass coverage. So

2868
02:08:49,680 --> 02:08:51,680
Speaker 1: you can do things you try and fool him without

2869
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:54,280
Speaker 1: actually sending more than four players, you know, maybe overload

2870
02:08:54,320 --> 02:08:56,200
Speaker 1: from one side. You'd send a corner and a linebacker,

2871
02:08:56,440 --> 02:08:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, drop on the other side of the defensive end,

2872
02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:01,400
Speaker 1: change it up, make at least have to think. It

2873
02:09:01,440 --> 02:09:03,840
Speaker 1: seems kind of counterintuitive because Tom Brady will tell you

2874
02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:05,720
Speaker 1: he's seen everything a defense can throw at him. He

2875
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:08,240
Speaker 1: knows what to expect. But I don't like the idea

2876
02:09:08,240 --> 02:09:10,760
Speaker 1: of sending more than four guys at Tom Brady for

2877
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:13,080
Speaker 1: exactly Brian Cook said, because that's where he gets here.

2878
02:09:13,120 --> 02:09:15,720
Speaker 1: That's where he's able to take advantage of going to

2879
02:09:15,760 --> 02:09:18,160
Speaker 1: the spot that was vacated by the blitzer and throwing

2880
02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:20,200
Speaker 1: the ball right there. He's been doing it for years.

2881
02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:22,520
Speaker 1: If you can't do it with four, you're probably not

2882
02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do it effectively. During the game.

2883
02:09:24,080 --> 02:09:26,840
Speaker 1: We'll see, you know what Great Cosell said earlier, and

2884
02:09:26,920 --> 02:09:28,240
Speaker 1: I know you're a big fan of his. When you

2885
02:09:28,280 --> 02:09:30,960
Speaker 1: talk about the Patriots a little bit, their offensive line

2886
02:09:30,960 --> 02:09:34,280
Speaker 1: has made big strides this year. They're pretty good on

2887
02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:36,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line. You couldn't say that a couple of

2888
02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:39,760
Speaker 1: years ago. But Trent Brown at left tackle, massive man

2889
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:43,400
Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty pounds, he's huge. David Anderson in

2890
02:09:43,440 --> 02:09:46,360
Speaker 1: the middle, Shack Mason is good. Marcus Cannon has held

2891
02:09:46,400 --> 02:09:48,160
Speaker 1: his own on the right side. I think their offensive

2892
02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 1: line has made some pretty big steps forward in this

2893
02:09:50,640 --> 02:09:53,040
Speaker 1: past year, and Cannon's a valuable guy. We talked earlier

2894
02:09:53,040 --> 02:09:54,800
Speaker 1: in the show about how Julian Edelman and Rob gronkows

2895
02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:56,720
Speaker 1: you've been around forever. He's a guy they drafted eight

2896
02:09:56,800 --> 02:09:58,560
Speaker 1: years ago. He's been on that line for a long time.

2897
02:09:58,720 --> 02:10:01,360
Speaker 1: The Bill's offense, they don't have anybody here who was

2898
02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:03,720
Speaker 1: on this team before twenty fifteen. So when you have

2899
02:10:04,040 --> 02:10:06,160
Speaker 1: that kind of continuity at so many different levels of

2900
02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:09,120
Speaker 1: football tight end, receiver, offensive line, quarterback, you can do

2901
02:10:09,160 --> 02:10:10,840
Speaker 1: a lot of things. All Right, we're gonna take a break.

2902
02:10:10,840 --> 02:10:13,000
Speaker 1: We're back with Mortor Moment. One Bill's Live, presented by

2903
02:10:13,040 --> 02:10:16,000
Speaker 1: Kalaida Health from One Bill's Drive, and this is Buffalo

2904
02:10:16,040 --> 02:10:37,640
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Time. Now for what have we learn from

2905
02:10:37,640 --> 02:10:40,640
Speaker 1: today's show. It's presented by Advanced Alarm, providing Western New

2906
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:43,880
Speaker 1: York's homes and businesses with the finest and security in

2907
02:10:43,960 --> 02:10:46,680
Speaker 1: home theater, the preferred alarm in the home theater provider

2908
02:10:46,720 --> 02:10:49,200
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. We had Matt Chatham on earlier

2909
02:10:49,200 --> 02:10:51,880
Speaker 1: in the show. Former Patriots linebacker wrote a really good

2910
02:10:51,880 --> 02:10:54,760
Speaker 1: piece you should check out on the Atlantic dot com

2911
02:10:55,040 --> 02:10:58,120
Speaker 1: based out of Boston, where he talks about how players

2912
02:10:58,120 --> 02:11:00,480
Speaker 1: some players love to come to Buffalo and play. He

2913
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:01,960
Speaker 1: was one of them. Here's what he had to say

2914
02:11:01,960 --> 02:11:04,480
Speaker 1: about the importance of small market teams like Buffalo in

2915
02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:08,800
Speaker 1: the National Football League. You hate to see a mid

2916
02:11:08,840 --> 02:11:12,280
Speaker 1: market place get pressured by the oligarch. To add, and

2917
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of this, every place needs

2918
02:11:14,840 --> 02:11:17,040
Speaker 1: to turn into Jerry Jones's palace. I think that's kind

2919
02:11:17,040 --> 02:11:20,160
Speaker 1: of nonsense, and it's not good that people would be

2920
02:11:20,200 --> 02:11:22,520
Speaker 1: listening to him in that regard, but he seems to

2921
02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:25,520
Speaker 1: have some sway there. I hope that the community of

2922
02:11:25,560 --> 02:11:27,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo is able to rise up and then keep it

2923
02:11:27,640 --> 02:11:29,360
Speaker 1: pure to what it is and not get pushed into

2924
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:31,720
Speaker 1: building some you know, replica of all these other ones

2925
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:35,560
Speaker 1: downtown or something. So I just think that the NFL

2926
02:11:36,560 --> 02:11:39,000
Speaker 1: is wrong in thinking that they should just simply pick

2927
02:11:39,080 --> 02:11:40,880
Speaker 1: the thirty two biggest markets they can find with it

2928
02:11:40,880 --> 02:11:43,360
Speaker 1: will build the thirty two biggest structures and then call

2929
02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:47,200
Speaker 1: that football From here to perpetunitia that Channam was great.

2930
02:11:47,240 --> 02:11:48,720
Speaker 1: If you get a chance to go back and listen

2931
02:11:48,760 --> 02:11:51,040
Speaker 1: on our website at Buffalo Bills dot com or go

2932
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:53,920
Speaker 1: read his article his post on The Athletic. Also on

2933
02:11:53,960 --> 02:11:57,360
Speaker 1: the show today, Greg co Sell from the NFL matchup

2934
02:11:57,400 --> 02:12:00,880
Speaker 1: on ESPN you know usual Friday guests. Greg talked about

2935
02:12:00,880 --> 02:12:03,320
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots offense, how dangerous they can be,

2936
02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:08,640
Speaker 1: so they provide every dimension because now Gordon can stretch

2937
02:12:08,680 --> 02:12:11,320
Speaker 1: the field. We know what Edelman is, the player who

2938
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:13,720
Speaker 1: you didn't mention, who I think is so critical to

2939
02:12:13,760 --> 02:12:18,080
Speaker 1: their past game as James White, and it really becomes difficult.

2940
02:12:18,520 --> 02:12:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, it'll be interesting to see how Sean decides

2941
02:12:21,520 --> 02:12:25,440
Speaker 1: to play them, whether he decides to play more zone,

2942
02:12:25,520 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 1: whether he decides to match up. I don't know how

2943
02:12:28,320 --> 02:12:31,200
Speaker 1: comfortable he'll be matching up in the slot consistently. If

2944
02:12:31,240 --> 02:12:34,680
Speaker 1: it's Edelman, I think you'll see Tredavious White line up

2945
02:12:34,760 --> 02:12:37,879
Speaker 1: on the side of Gordon. But this is a difficult

2946
02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:40,880
Speaker 1: team to match up against. And now you're assuming ground plays.

2947
02:12:40,920 --> 02:12:44,600
Speaker 1: You've got the Gronkowski matchup as well, matchups all over

2948
02:12:44,640 --> 02:12:46,600
Speaker 1: the field. Gonna be a tough one. Dad. There's no

2949
02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:49,120
Speaker 1: question about that. I think though, I think this defense

2950
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:51,280
Speaker 1: will has too much pride not to bounce back from

2951
02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:53,280
Speaker 1: what happened last week against the Colts. I mean, look,

2952
02:12:53,280 --> 02:12:54,960
Speaker 1: they got handled last week. They're not going to stand

2953
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:58,000
Speaker 1: for that. I'm concerned with how Tom Brady is going

2954
02:12:58,040 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 1: to be able to attack the middle of the field.

2955
02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:01,920
Speaker 1: Tremade on to a lesser extent, Matt Malano have been

2956
02:13:01,960 --> 02:13:04,560
Speaker 1: trouble when it comes to pass coverage. I think the

2957
02:13:04,560 --> 02:13:06,640
Speaker 1: Bills defense will make it difficult. I think at the

2958
02:13:06,680 --> 02:13:08,000
Speaker 1: end of the day, you're going to see a score

2959
02:13:08,040 --> 02:13:10,720
Speaker 1: that won't surprise you, but it will not look easy

2960
02:13:10,760 --> 02:13:12,840
Speaker 1: for New England Monday night. The Bills will show up

2961
02:13:12,880 --> 02:13:14,760
Speaker 1: defensively at home and make it tough. Dan, it's been

2962
02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:16,760
Speaker 1: great day have you here. Thanks for filling in for Steve.
