00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: These One Bills Live, presented by Call Light of Health.

2
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: Happy hump Day, everybody, It's One Bills Live. Chris Brown

3
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker rolling through the week with you as we

4
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: get set for Bills Packers on Sunday night football and

5
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: the team practicing indoors today as the rains have come

6
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: to Western New York. They're in the field house, probably

7
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: about twenty yards from where we sit. And there are

8
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: some practice updates to pass a lot to you. Chief

9
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: among them, Tradevius White is not going to play on Sunday,

10
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: So a return to the active roster and playing on

11
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Sunday not in the cards for Tradevious White this week.

12
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: That according to Sean McDermot, who addressed the media last hour,

13
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: So Tevis, you know, will practice, keep taking it day

14
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: by day, per coach McDermott, and work his way back

15
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: to a point where hopefully he can be part of

16
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: the active roster. But the clock is ticking now. November

17
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: first is the last day in which the Bills can

18
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, basically decide whether he is going to be

19
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: added to the fifty three man roster or be put

20
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: on season ending injured reserve. Those are the two choices

21
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: they have at their disposal at this point in time,

22
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: and they're getting down to it. It's next Tuesday, So

23
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: they got to make a call, and they got to

24
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: make a room on the roster for him if they

25
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: do that. They've always pushed this kind of thing as

26
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: far as they could. Certainly, if he was ready to play,

27
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: he'd be playing. But they're going to push this deadline

28
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: as far as they can before they activate him. And

29
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: if they do, and they could put him on IR

30
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, I doubt that they

31
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: could activate him for a day and then deactivate him

32
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: and put him on another four three week or a

33
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: four game delay before he comes back. I think one

34
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: of the things about this, I don't think the team

35
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: would do this anyway, but certainly it feels this way

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: from the outside looking in. Brownie, if Christian Benford and

37
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Kayer Elam and Dane Jackson weren't playing as well as

38
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: they are, and of course Terren Johnson, you know, we

39
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: would all have a high level of anxiety getting him,

40
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: getting Tradavious White back to help. I don't think this

41
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: is an organization who would who that's even a factor

42
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: for It would be a factor for tradevious he'd want

43
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: to get back and help. But when he's ready, and

44
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: only when he's ready, is he going to be out there.

45
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: They're not going to pressure him into playing before he's

46
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: one hundred percent or before the doctors, rehab guys, the

47
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: sports science department, they're all going to be on the

48
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: same page. So when they get to that point is

49
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: when he's going to be out there. And that's it's

50
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: as simple as that. The best way to probably put

51
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: it in a nutshell is, right now, because of the

52
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: depth that currently exists a corner, he is a luxury,

53
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: not a pressing necessity right now. Now. That's not to

54
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: say they aren't a better team with him on the field.

55
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: They unquestionably are a better team with him on the field.

56
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: But you're not dying on the back end right now,

57
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: due in part to the fact that your defensive front

58
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: is as good as it's been maybe ever in the

59
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: McDermott era. And you've got two young corners that are

60
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: holding their own in a platoon situation, and Dane Jackson

61
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: on the other side and Arren Johnson in the slot. Yeah,

62
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: they're number one in the league against the pass. He's

63
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: he's a luxury. You can't get your hands on yet.

64
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's basically what he is. He's uh, Um,

65
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: he's an asset that is not helping you right now,

66
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: no question. But he does make you feel good that

67
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: when he does come back, he's gonna be really he's

68
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. So I'm um, what level of

69
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: concern do we need to have that he's back at all?

70
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Do we think that's even in the cards? I don't

71
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: think that's not back. I don't think that this year. No,

72
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that's in the cards at all, because

73
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have put him on four game IR that

74
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: he just kept him on the pep here put him

75
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: on IR to begin with through for the season. Now,

76
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: maybe they thought there was a window maybe if he

77
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: has a setback, but we would have heard and yeah,

78
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: there's been no indication that there's a setback, And Coach

79
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: mc refuted that today when he was asked about it. It

80
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: It would have been common knowledge if Trey would have

81
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: had to go back in and have their surgery redone

82
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: or something in April. Um, you know nothing, it's been

83
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: smooth sailing. You and I have seen him, so yeah,

84
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: it's it'll be when he's ready and when he feels

85
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: when he feels good enough to play, and when he's

86
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't have any setbacks or whatever. Maybe he's

87
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: still got some occasional swelling in his knee. Who knows,

88
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: We're not privy to any of that information. But as

89
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: of now, he has not taken a step back, and

90
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: you're still not even a year out from the injury,

91
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: so he's not even supposed to be back finger quotes

92
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: supposed to be back just yet. So where we wait

93
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: Andre Davious White for another week and we'll see what

94
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: next week brings, hopefully good news in terms of him

95
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: returning to the roster and the lineup. Tu non participants

96
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: in practice today Taiwan Jones and Spencer Brown. Spencer Brown

97
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: sustained an injury against the Chiefs. David Questenbury had to

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: finish the game at right tackle for him, so he's

99
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: still nursing an ankle injury. We'll have to see where

100
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: that goes the course of the week. Coach McDermott labeled

101
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: him day to day, which is important. He wasn't labeled

102
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: week to week, which are usually some of the designations

103
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: that coach is willing to offer when asked and Taiwan

104
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: Jone still working his way back from an injury as well.

105
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: Another player did return to the practice field for the

106
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: first time in a month. Jake Kumero backpracticing with the

107
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: team after sustaining a high ankle sprain in the Week

108
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: three game against Miami when the Bill sideline turned into

109
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: a mash unit. He was part of the myriad of

110
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: injuries that took place in that game. So nice to

111
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: see him working his way back, especially after getting a

112
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: shout out from Aaron Rodgers. You know when he was

113
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: on the Pat mcafe show earlier this week, apparently still

114
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: saw that they lost Simo to the Bills a couple

115
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: of years ago. Yeah, we're we're going to that. Yeah,

116
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a lot about Aaron Rodgers and what

117
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: he's going through. He's the subject of a lot of

118
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: conversation because he's made himself of that. He's on the

119
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee show, as you mentioned regularly, just Likesh is

120
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: on with Kyle Brandt. But he has said something and

121
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: with this way the season is going so far, and

122
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: what has happened to his rod to the roster of

123
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: the Packers since last year and since the last three

124
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: years when the Packers were thirteen and three, thirteen and three,

125
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: and then when they've turned to seventeen games thirteen and four.

126
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: They're not going to go thirteen and four this year,

127
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: and Rogers has been vocal in what he has said.

128
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that as the show progresses.

129
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: But I think this game coming up this week is

130
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: for me. If I let's all think about ourselves, like

131
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: we're Josh Allen, don't you really kind of want to

132
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: make a statement in this game against the two time

133
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: reigning MVP. Well, I don't think it's lost on Josh

134
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: Allen that he had perhaps the worst start of his career.

135
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Granted it was only the third start of his career

136
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen at Green Bay, the only game

137
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: in which he has been shut out. He was sacked

138
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: seven times in that game through a couple of picks.

139
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: If I remember right, twenty two nothing and they lost

140
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: twenty two to nothing, and they just they were an

141
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: overmatched team in that game, not just Josh, but everybody else.

142
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: The roster is a shell of what it is now.

143
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: So the outcome wasn't a surprise. I don't think we

144
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: expected them to get shut out, you know, watching that

145
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: game unfold. But that is not lost on Josh. That's

146
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: number one. Number two. There were some distinct undercurrents at

147
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: the match this summer when it was Rogers and Brady

148
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: against Mahomes and Alan. Whether it was Tom Brady essentially

149
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: calling Josh Allen chunky multiple times, or Aaron Rodgers giving

150
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: off this air of superiority and you know, basically treating

151
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen like the kid that tagged along to the

152
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: playground to try to play football with everybody else. You know,

153
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: the kid that was like three or four years younger

154
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: and he wanted to play too. Oh yeah, okay, I

155
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: guess you can come along. It was that type of

156
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: air with the interaction between them, m Rogers chuckling at

157
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: Brady's cuts and digs at at Allan. It was. It

158
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: was all very off putting for me. It actually annoyed me.

159
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how Josh kind of kept a stiff

160
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: upper lip well because he didn't he could was he

161
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: couldn't talk because he was playing. He was playing horrible golf,

162
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: which is one of the things you wouldn't talk about.

163
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: That didn't help, But don't I'm telling you right now

164
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: knowing the competitor. Josh is right, say all right, I

165
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: may not be able to get you on the golf course,

166
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna get you on the football field. Yeah,

167
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: there's got to be some of that. And I'll and

168
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: I want to be honest, and I am here for

169
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: all be honest. Nobody takes that stuff seriously, at least

170
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: of all the four guys in the match. Um, they can.

171
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: They can take it as well as they can dish

172
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: it out of verbal jousting. But make no mistake, I

173
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: mean I've done it. I've played football against close friends

174
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: and at the NFL level. Yeah, and one of them,

175
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: one of whom is a close still close friend of mine,

176
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: have known him forty years. He was the punter for

177
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: the other team, and we talked about, you know, what

178
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: would happen if and this is the west way it goes.

179
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: I told him, if I ever return a touch a

180
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: punt for a touchdown and he punts it, I will

181
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: embarrass myself, him and the entire National Football League with

182
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: my celebration. It will be absolutely something you you will, right,

183
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: That's where that's where Josh's gotta be. And you're talking

184
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: about a friend I think that's a very generous term

185
00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: for Rogers and Alan, for Brady there they're colleagues. That's right.

186
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: They're not friends, and it's gonna be their colleague. And

187
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Roger, they're gonna be a part of Josh's

188
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: conversation for his entire life. They're gonna people will talk

189
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: about the games they played against each other, the record

190
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: against each other. It's it's you know, a finger quotes again,

191
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: historic for these guys. So it's gonna carry a lot away.

192
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: That's why, Brian, it's a statement game. He's two time

193
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: reigning MVP. You gotta want to light that guy up.

194
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to lay something out for you, Steve. That

195
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: was brought in by NFL's Research Notes this week. Alan

196
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: has won his last four regular season matchups against former

197
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: MVP quarterbacks and seven of his late last eight such games.

198
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: The first of his career was against Rogers in the

199
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: twenty two or Nothing game we just talked about. Here

200
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: are the other ones. Okayum oh, I don't have him

201
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: in front of me. I'm sorry. So he's won, but

202
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: he beat he's beating Mahomes twice. We know that former MVP.

203
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: He's beaten Lamar Jackson, former MVP. That was this year. Um,

204
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: let me see if I can figure them all out.

205
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: It was Cam Newton. Well, no, he's well right in

206
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty he beat Cam Newton with the Patriots twenty

207
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: twenty one. So there are This is another one. Um,

208
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: I had it right, I had it right. Oh my

209
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: Goshold lost. Anyway, it's it's another opportunity for him to

210
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: basically say I'm better than the league's reigning MVP. So

211
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: put that in your pipe and smoke it. And he'll

212
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: never say that. You know. That's that's the motivation for

213
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 1: him in this game. He's just worried about winning the

214
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: football game, which I would which I would say is

215
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: one hundred percent true. But these are the undercurrents of

216
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: the game that also exists in Josh Allen's motivational mind

217
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: as I see it. So, yeah, I agree with you, Steve.

218
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: You said yesterday, if the Bills are up by twenty,

219
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: his foot is on the gas, and you want to

220
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: know what's gonna help him drop back and sling it.

221
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: But you want to know what helps him He's got

222
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator who thinks the exact same way. Yeah,

223
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that the head coach will think that way,

224
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: but I'll say this too. Yeah, this organization has been

225
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: You remember when two years ago, three years ago, when

226
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: they had the wreck, when day Ball was the offensive coordinator,

227
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: they had a chance to throw a touchdown pass to

228
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: like fourteen different guys during the season, and it would

229
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: have been a record. And remember in the it was

230
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: in Houston, I believe, and Taiwan Jones jinked one dropped it.

231
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: Day Ball was going all out to get it, and

232
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: McDermott was right there with him. When you got guys

233
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: who got a chance to do something like that, McDermott

234
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: and the staff have always been behind him one hundred percent.

235
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: Now you get into a game against the Green Bay

236
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: Packers on Sunday Night Football and you're thumping him. Let's

237
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: just say, hypothetically, you're up big. Who's the adult in

238
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: the room that says, no, Josh, you're gonna sit down,

239
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: You're you're done. Well, they've sat him down in games

240
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: already this year, but the two against the Titan wasn't

241
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: a primetime game against an reigning MVP that you wanted

242
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: your guy to take the title away from. And that's

243
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: that's gotta be big to Josh, and I think, as

244
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, of course you kind of say no, I

245
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: don't think so. But if if Josh says, come on,

246
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: letting me play, what do you do if I'm up

247
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: twenty or twenty four, I'm not doing it twenty four, No, thirty.

248
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I give him, don't She's give him an extra

249
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: series at least. I just don't like exposing him to risk.

250
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: And every play is a risk in this league, as

251
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: you well know. So you don't play scared, though. Come on,

252
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're playing scared. To me, that's you're

253
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: playing smart, because you're playing for the next week because

254
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: if you don't have him, you're not winning anything. Yeah,

255
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know here. We could he beat Lamar Jackson

256
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: a week four, Patrick Mahomes in week six. He could

257
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: beat Aaron Rodgers this week, and he could be the

258
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: first quarterback to beat three former MVPs in a four

259
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: game span since Troy Aikman beat Marino, Steve Young and

260
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: farv and that was back in ninety six, So Josh

261
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: I forgot about it. He beat Lamar this year, He

262
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: beat Pat Mahomes this week and he's got a chance

263
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: to beat Rogers. All three of them were quarterbacks who

264
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: are his, you know, right in his wheelhouse and bring

265
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: ye out. I'm here for all of that. I'm telling

266
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: you right now. If I'm Josh, I have the conversation

267
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: this during the week, like today, tomorrow and tomorrow and Friday,

268
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: and say, listen, you gotta if we get up on

269
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: these guys, I want to go. Yeah. I don't know

270
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: if it's gonna get that out of hand, but I

271
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: could see thirty eight seventeen, thirty eight twenty somewhere in

272
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: there comes the latter stages of the third or fourth quarter.

273
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll say this if and I'll say this too.

274
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: You've watched a little bit of the Packers. Why is

275
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur not hand in the football? So those two

276
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: backs got two good backs? Why are those guys not

277
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: a bigger part of what they're doing? And I might

278
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: get it and we can talk about this at length.

279
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: I've always I said this a couple of weeks ago,

280
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you agree with me or not.

281
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: We've seen it with Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. You've seen

282
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: it with Aaron Rodgers now you see with Tom Brady

283
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay. I don't know how it was in

284
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: New England. You've seen it in the past with guys

285
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: like Dan Fouts, Dan Marino, Elway, Peyton Manning. For sure,

286
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback of that organization. As good as they are

287
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: MVP caliber, they have such cache in the building. They

288
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: how they wield that power within the organization, and now

289
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: how they voiced their opinions within the organization has a

290
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: great effect on whether that team can win. It helps

291
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: them win, helps him lose. I'm not sure Aaron Rodgers

292
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: is helping him win right now with what he's saying

293
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: in the media. We saw it with Ben Roethlisberger. Would

294
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: he would spout off a company. He was kind of quiet,

295
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: but he would spout off once in a while. Marino,

296
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: in my opinion, sometimes Dan, they're their own worst enemy.

297
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: Dan Fouts was the same way. If they want to win,

298
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna give me the ball, the quarterback, and I'm

299
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna throw it. I am not handing it off to

300
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 1: Chuck Muntz, no matter how good he is. I'm not

301
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: handing it off to the guys in Miami. How a

302
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: quarterback handles his sway within the organization has a great

303
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: effect on their ability to win games. And right now

304
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: Rogers is not helping. These guys need to sit down.

305
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: If they're making mistakes, we need to give the reps

306
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: to somebody else. You know, he thinks he's part of

307
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 1: the solution. Any suggestions to the head coach where I

308
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: get it? Kyle brand on Good Morning Football Today, and

309
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: he raises a He raises a valid question, where the

310
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: hell's the head coach? And all this coach Lafleur is

311
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: awfully quiet. I wouldn't even reckon he's gonna stand out

312
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: of the way. And I don't even know if I've

313
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: ever seen a clip from a coach Lafleura press conference.

314
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: That's wrong. That is wrong. That's bad football, Brownie. I'm

315
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: with you, that's bad football, dude, I do I don't

316
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: even know. Your voice sounds like I understand maintaining a

317
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: relationship with the quarterback who pretty much runs the show. There,

318
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: I understand the cash quarterback's running the show is wrong.

319
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: That's it, right. I don't even know what Matt Lafleur's

320
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: voice sounds like. I have I do not remember him,

321
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: and I'm we don't follow the Packers. So obviously the

322
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: guy's on the air all the time, probably up in

323
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: the Green Bay. But you get my point. When your

324
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: quarterback is the face of the franchise, Okay, he can't

325
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: be the most he can't be the voice in the

326
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: locker room and the team meet. It's got to be

327
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: the head coach. It's got to be the head coach.

328
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: And Matt la Floor is just vacant. It's vacant. I've

329
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: heard Gila right, more than more than this la Fleur

330
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: and gi la Floor is no longer with us. I mean,

331
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. The level of low profile is insane.

332
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: So you the head coach has to I mean the quarterback.

333
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: I got a guy of Aaron Rodgers caliber. It's unhealthy

334
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: as in group and for me, it's unhealthy in group

335
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: dynamics to have that guy be as powerful as other

336
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: like the GM, the head coach, the president, whatever you

337
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: want to call you know, and it's it's a different

338
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: animal in Green Bay because the fans own the team.

339
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: But Matt Lafleur is where are you? Dude? That to

340
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: me is an unhealthy situation. Not that it's toxic, it's

341
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: a difficult relationship, but it's difficult for anybody to get

342
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: anything done. Everything in that building has to be run

343
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: by number twelve. Well, and that's wrong, and we're and

344
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 1: we're only talking about the head coach quarterback relationship because

345
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: that relationship is difficult. Every other relationship that indirectly relates

346
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: to that one also becomes difficult. By default. I think, yeah,

347
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: it's all group dynamics, one of those dynamics college classes

348
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: where you do that. It's true. Organizational communications was the

349
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: one for me. That's yeah. When I first came into

350
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: the workforce coming out of college, I could easily identify, Oh,

351
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: that guy didn't take organizations right, communication right, So what's

352
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: that guy doing? And I'll say this, when you're even

353
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: from from eight year old, nine year old, ten eleven,

354
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: twelve year old kids playing football, even if they don't

355
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: get it articulated to him, they they you can sense

356
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: things that happened with your coaching staff in the way

357
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: they talked to players and why they talked to this

358
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: player this way, but they're saying this to this other player.

359
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: All of that stuff. You take that in and you think, well,

360
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: that probably wasn't gonna work, you know, So as you

361
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: as you get up through higher and higher levels of football,

362
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: and you get better and better guidance and better coaching

363
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: and better leadership. It's a it's a leadership seminar every

364
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: practice and the dynamic with a When you've got the

365
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: wrong guy wielding so much power within an organization and

366
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: spouting off, whether it's trying to help or not, it's unhealthy. Yeah,

367
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: it's unhealthy. That's why it worked for Brady in New

368
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: England because there was only one voice there and it

369
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: was Bill. You know, Brady can say whatever, but you

370
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: know he's the same thing here. You don't think Mark

371
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: Levey's brilliance was keeping a lid on Bruce and Jim

372
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: and Thurman. Holy holy Connoli, are you saying those three

373
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: guys head? Oh my gosh. We Scott Burke's hold just

374
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: had his retirement party here. He was the pr guy.

375
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: He was the you know, the Derek Boyko of the

376
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: nineties teams, and they were like we were telling they

377
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: were telling the stories of you know, you gotta have

378
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: somebody that squashes the star players and their pensiant for

379
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: getting into trouble with the media. The problem now is

380
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: the role and the profile of quarterbacks in this league

381
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: are so large, I mean even larger than they were then. Yes,

382
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: to a degree of social media and to a degree

383
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: that I don't think a lot of young coaches know

384
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: how to handle. And yeah, I would put the floor

385
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: in that category. It's it's not something there's a handbook

386
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: for either. Every guy's different. So you mean you got

387
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: a guy like like Pat Mahomes and Andy Reid, they

388
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: see they handle their business fine. You know Josh and

389
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot. You can see and you and I know

390
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: the dynamic those two. Josh, you have a better person

391
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen than you have an Aaron. But think

392
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: about it. And Sean's a different kind of leader too.

393
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: They have a conversations and they listen to each other

394
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: and either one is willing to say wait a minute, now,

395
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: hold up right, I can you can just you just

396
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: know that dynamic is there between the same thing with

397
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean. There's a given take, but there's also a

398
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: final word and it's in the right spot. It's not

399
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: with the player, it's with the coach and the executive. Yeah,

400
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: so it's different for I'm sure it's different for all

401
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: these different thirty two teams out there because they all

402
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: have these different quarterbacks, but you're right, the quarterback does

403
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: have a significant amount of sway cash, a a bigger voice.

404
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: Whatever authority in an organization and how that's handled is

405
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: in important and right now it seems unbalanced in Green

406
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: Bay to me, I'm there with you. Bill's practice updates incidentally,

407
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: the ones that we gave you presented by Lee com

408
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. So there's that. As

409
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: we mentioned, Taiwan Jon Spencer Brown, the non participants at practice,

410
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: Trevis White practicing but not going to play this week

411
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: so he won't be lifted off reserve pup just yet,

412
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: and Jake Cumro back on the practice field. We do

413
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: want to go to the phones at eighth three five

414
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

415
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: Leading us off today is our good friend DJ in Connecticut.

416
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? DJ? Hi, guys, just

417
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: a couple of quick questions. First of all, a programming note,

418
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: why in the world does WGR or Oudyssey not allow

419
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: or not post the postgame WGR content on Oudyssey? And

420
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: the reason I asked us so the last couple weeks

421
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: and including I think to today or whatever the post

422
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: game after the Kansas City game, I want to hear

423
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: the local you know, stuff going on, all that sort

424
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: of stuff. They don't start the programming until Who's Ever

425
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: On at nine thirty, So I ended up having to

426
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City post game. Boy, those guys are nuts.

427
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a different universe after our loss. But anyway,

428
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: But so the first question is why isn't immediately after

429
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: the game that content, even for a couple of hours,

430
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: not posted on Odyssey. Yeah. I don't have that answer

431
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: for you because we're not at the station. Our show

432
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: is carried by WGR and we work in concert with

433
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: them because they are the team's flagship station, but they

434
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: simply carry our programming, which we run out of one

435
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: Bill's drive. So why that is the case, I can't

436
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: answer that right now. If I'll try to get an

437
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: answer for you as to why that is the case.

438
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,239
Speaker 1: My suspicion is it may have something to do with

439
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: the fact that it is an app that is streaming

440
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: it rather than a traditional radio station carrying it. So

441
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: I will try to get an answer for you. DJ

442
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: do not have one at the ready for you, though,

443
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: so I'll see if I can get one During the

444
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: break and then get back to you on that. I

445
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: know that going to our website, Buffalo bills dot com,

446
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: as well as the app can sometimes be another avenue

447
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: to get the coverage you're looking for. There's a Bill's

448
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: postgame live stream as well on the Bills YouTube channel,

449
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: so those are alternate places where you can go if

450
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: you want to get some of that. As a suggestion,

451
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: but I will try to get a hard and fast

452
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 1: answer for you in the next segment if possible. Here

453
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: I'll try to reach out to a couple of people

454
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: during the break see if we can't get an answer,

455
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: but right now I don't have one. I also was

456
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: mentioning how the Bills had the number one pass defense.

457
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,479
Speaker 1: They don't. It's the Packers that have the number one

458
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: pass defense. Bills actually are at eleventh against the pass

459
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: after playing Patrick Mahomes. You can understand why they might

460
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: slip in the rankings a little bit there, but I

461
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: expect them to be back up the charts in short order.

462
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think they've finished under

463
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier no lower than five against the past in

464
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: any one of their five plus seasons that their defense

465
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: has been operated and directed by Leslie Fraser. Wouldn't surprise

466
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: me if they get there again by the end of

467
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: the season. We will take a quick break here. When

468
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: we come back, we will be taking more of your

469
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: phone calls, and we also have the one and only

470
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: Field Yates. ESPN Fantasy Football Guru is joining us a

471
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: day early this week, so we'll get his ultimate Fantasy

472
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: lineup presented by FanDuel. Coming up next here on One

473

Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by a Lot of Health. It's Buffalo

474
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

475
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tesker with you. It is that time

476
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: of the week. It's a little bit earlier, but we've

477
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: put him to the test and he has come through

478
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: as always. It is the ultimate Fantasy lineup with the

479
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: ESPN's Field Yate's presented by FanDuel. Make every moment more

480
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: feel that know, early in the week kind of makes

481
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: it a little tricky, especially if you've got some injury

482
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: question marks and you're wondering whom play, who may not play,

483
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: But you've gone and done it anyway. Bravo to you. Yeah,

484
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: you guys are putting me to the test here, but

485
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm remaining competent. And also I will just note that

486
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: I try to avoid guys in this circumstance where if

487
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: we haven't practiced yet because they're not playing on Thursday night,

488
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: that I don't think there's any questions they will miss

489
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: time on Sunday. Let's start with our quarterback, and as

490
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: you guys well know, Jalen Hurts has been exceptional for

491
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles and one of the reasons why they're the

492
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: only NFL undefeated team left over priced at nine two

493
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, which is a fairly big number, but a

494
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: reminder that in daily fantasy, we use the three X rule,

495
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: where you're looking to have a player score three times

496
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: as much as its price tag, and Hurts is at

497
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: nearly twenty five points per game. Obviously, the more expensive

498
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: the player, the more difficult it is for that player

499
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: to get that three X mark. But Jalen Hurts about

500
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: as good as a get as good as it gets

501
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: for Fantasy upside this year at quarterback, at least amongst

502
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: guys who are not named Josh Allen. Right, there you go,

503
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: And when you get to the running backs, I'm starting

504
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: I notice a little trend, not only with Jalen Hurts.

505
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: We'll get to it as we drop down through. But

506
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: you love the Pittsburgh Philly matchup for a couple of reasons.

507
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: We'll get to that more specifically. But the two running backs,

508
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, he most, Derrick Henry the highest price tag

509
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Yeah, this is as big as it goes.

510
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: But the matchup is as good as it gets, and

511
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Henry has been really good. As the Titans have now

512
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: won four straight games, their favorite to win a fifth

513
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: straight game. You guys know this team is tough and resilient.

514
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: You know this team has a certain brand of football

515
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: that it wants to play, and that is to run

516
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: and run and run some more. Derrick Henry should be

517
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: a very busy man on Sunday against the Houston run

518
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: defense that really can't stop anybody. Last week they had

519
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: no answer for Josh Jacobs, who's been awesome, and then

520
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster. You know, there's this funny thing that we do.

521
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: We always tell people to follow the money, right because

522
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: when a guy gets paid a ton of money, it

523
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: usually means a team has big plans for that player. Well,

524
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: in Miami it's actually the inverse, at least for the

525
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: running backs. Because Chase Edmonds got the real deal this offseason,

526
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: Rahee Moster got the proven deal. Well, Raheem Moster has

527
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: proven that Chase Edmonds might have been a little bit

528
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: of extra money than the Dolphins and not have to

529
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: pay because Mostard has really emerged. It catches this past Sunday.

530
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: You would have thought that even if most Are is

531
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: leading the team and carries, which he did, that maybe

532
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds could contribute as a pass catcher. Turns out,

533
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: Raheem Mostard has emerged into both a runner and receiver role.

534
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: So love that value against the Lions, who the Texans

535
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: are the worst run defense in the NFL. The Lions

536
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: are the second worst run defense in the NFL. We've

537
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: seen you do this before field, where you pound a

538
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: particular game, if memory serves, it was like a forty

539
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: nine Ers and Arizona game a couple of weeks ago

540
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: in one of your fantasy lineups. This week, you're doing

541
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: that to some extent with the Philly Pittsburgh game here,

542
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: especially at receiver. Yeah, and the second part of this

543
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: equation is a little bit more about the price than

544
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: it is the matchup. But for my first wide receiver

545
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: Davante Smith comes off the board, and you're right, it's

546
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: creating what we call a stack love that in daily Fantasy.

547
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: This game Eagles playing at home, They're coming off of

548
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: bye week, like the pills. We suspect this team should

549
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: be very ready. And while the Steelers tried and failed

550
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 1: to intercept two a tongue of vloa like three times

551
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 1: this past Sunday night, you know, I still have some

552
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: concerns about this Steelers secondary. Despite the fight. They've been

553
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: okay for the past two games, right Tom Brady first

554
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 1: and two of this past week. So I think that

555
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles able to move the football effectively. DeVante Smith

556
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: price at six thousand, nine hundred dollars, and that brings

557
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: us to George Pickens. Generally speaking, you want to avoid

558
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: facing off against that Steelers dynamic cornerback duo, especially on

559
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: the perimeter with Darius Slay and also James Bradberry. But

560
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: a pretty good number here for George Pickens, who once

561
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: again led the Steelers in both catches and receiving yards

562
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: this past week. They're sort of not a market correction

563
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: yet on George Pickens. He's still priced at five thousand,

564
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars which probably should be maybe two thousand

565
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: dollars more given how he has played over the past

566
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. And the last one is Rondell More

567
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: interesting one because last Thursday night, Rondell Moore had just

568
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: one catch for thirty one yards. More has been much

569
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: more of a threat near the line of scrimmage. Last

570
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: week he got the big play down the field, but

571
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: the volume was gone. I don't know that that is

572
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: exclusively about DeAndre Hopkins because remember that while Hopkins was

573
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, Brown was out, so that struck me as

574
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: more of an outlier. I think he bounces back on

575
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Vikings, and then as we moved a

576
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: tight end that the New York Jets hosting the New

577
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: England Patriots. How do you quantify and give us a

578
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: little insights to how you decide, Because there's been a

579
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a roller coasters season. New England plays

580
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: pretty good defensively one week and they give thirty three

581
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: points to the Bears the next week. How do you

582
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: evaluate that kind of matchup and pick Tyler Conklin as

583
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: a tight end? Yeah, Conklind kind of hasled off after

584
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: a few really good weeks to begin the season. The

585
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: price is pretty good, and the question you have to

586
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: ask yourself is whether you think that the Jets can

587
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: continue to get by just running the football NonStop. It's

588
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: worked over the past four weeks, but at some point

589
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: the clock does strike midnight. You know, the Patriots were

590
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: playing better offense for two games before this past Monday

591
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: Night that felt like that. That's like a burn the

592
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: tape type of game from them. I can't recall them.

593
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: They've been overmatched, right, I mean, obviously Buffalo in the

594
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: playoff game last year was two different tiers, right, But

595
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: like you guys know, well, like Buffalo is one of

596
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: the best. You know, they were last year and they're

597
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: obviously this year very much one of the very best

598
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. I don't pay the Bears or that,

599
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: So I think the Patriots defense is probably better than

600
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: what they showed. Quarterback runs have really been a problem

601
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: for them, as was the case on Monday Night. I

602
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: think the Jets let to throw it a little bit

603
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: because I do think the Patriots can move the ball.

604
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: So conklind forty eight hundred a reasonable value there and

605
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: then in your flex spot is one of only two

606
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: players is on the Saints that you know fantasy players

607
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: can count on. It's it's either Kimara or it's Chris Lave,

608
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: and you opt to go with the former. Yeah, and

609
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: Kimara who's been better of late. And we've seen some

610
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: more pass catching from Alvin Kamara, which really increases his

611
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: potential yardage and opportunity to hit bonuses and things of

612
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: that nature based off of yardage in daily fantasy. So

613
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: I do like him this week against the Raiders, who

614
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: last week we're okay but not great. Against Damian Pierce.

615
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: We'll see whether it's Andy Dalton or Jamis Winston. On Sunday,

616
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: we'll see whether Michael Thomas is available, Jarvis Landry is available.

617
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: But it stands the reason those guys could miss yet

618
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: another week because they have not yet practice. We'll see

619
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: what happens today, but I think the offense continues to

620
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: run through Kamara and also Chris Alave. And you're getting

621
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: a bit of a discount here on Alvin Kamara. At

622
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: seven thousand, eight hundred dollars. In a good week, his

623
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: price tag might begin with a nine. And then of course,

624
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: at the end of Washington Commanders Indianapolis going with Sam Ellinger. Yeah,

625
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you just can't think even if they if

626
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: things go well for Indianapolis, they're not going to score

627
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: very many points. Yeah, exactly. And I would say that,

628
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, this Colts offense made a quarterback change, but

629
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line has been a real problem as well.

630
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know what to make of that for Indianapolis,

631
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: but that's part of the reason why you're motivated by

632
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: the Commander's defense in this game. And to be clear

633
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: that the Commander's defense is not being great, but you're

634
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: getting an untested quarterback an offensive line that looks the

635
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: exact opposite of what you expected it to after years

636
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: of dominance. So that's the calculus I think. I tell

637
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: you guys this every week. I try to avoid paying

638
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: up on defense at thirty four hundred dollars. If you

639
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: can force a turnover too and get some sacks against

640
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: an untested rookie, that's probably good enough to pay off

641
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: here for the Commanders, who are really missing Chase Young

642
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: right now, despite the fact that a sudden they're on

643
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: a two game winning streak. All right field, that is

644
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: your ultimate fantasy lineup for Week eight, presented by FanDuel

645
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: make every moment more before we let you go. Thoughts

646
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: on Bill's Packers Sunday night. We just got word that

647
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: coach Lafuler said, Alan Lazard not practicing today. He's a

648
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: wait and see coming off that shoulder injury for Sunday night.

649
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: They may get Watkins back this week. It looks like so.

650
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that the receiving core is going to

651
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: be demonstrably better with all the youth they depend on there.

652
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: What are we looking at here? Could that ten and

653
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: a half point spread be just as ugly as we think? Yeah,

654
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: this is one of those games, And if you'd ask

655
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: me about it in August, I'd say I might just

656
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: book a flight now to Orchard Park and be up

657
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: there for this game. I think I'll be happy to

658
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: be on my couch on Sunday night. As this feels.

659
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: It's not quite like varsity versus JV. But if this

660
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: one goes expected to a Bill's team coming off of

661
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: a bye week well rested, not freike health shape, but

662
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: pretty good health shape, versus a Packers team that is

663
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: trending in the other direction. They looked tired after a

664
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: lot of travel in recent weeks. They played a home

665
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: game in London and then right back to Lambeau and

666
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: then right back to DC. Left tackle David backtr is

667
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: a question mark. You know, this is a team that

668
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: pretty much everything that could go wrong has gone wrong

669
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: for Green Bay. So I think that Bill's number is

670
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: an appropriate one at ten and a half. And look

671
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: it's it's eleven. Now. We just got an updates. It's

672
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: up to left. That's crazy. Thanks Field, we appreciate it.

673
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you next week. Next week. Alrighty,

674
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: all right, that's Field Yates, ESPN Fantasy Football Guru with

675
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: his ultimate fantasy lineup presented by FanDuel make every moment more.

676
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: And yes, there is a practice update from the Packers. Basically,

677
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: coach Lafleur has said Alan Lazard there what one of

678
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: their few veteran wide receivers, not going to practice today.

679
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: They asked coach Lafleur about whether or not Lazard will

680
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: play this weekend and he said, quote, we'll see when

681
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: asked if he will miss games because of the shoulder

682
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: injury that he suffered in their last game against Washington.

683
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: Christian Watson, another receiver one of their draft choices, When

684
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: asked about his status. He is returning to practice today,

685
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: but he is going to be limited, so another player

686
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on through the course of the

687
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: week as far as availability for the Packers passing game.

688
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: So that is that as far as they're concerned. As

689
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: we mentioned, Bill's relatively healthy coming out of the bye week.

690
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: Just a couple of guys not participating in terms of

691
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown, Taiwan Jones, who's you know, as we know,

692
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: a special teams guy, but Jay Kumero coming back into

693
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: the fold special teams wise, so that might be a swap,

694
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: so to speak, awash if they can get Kumero back

695
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: on the field to help them on special teams right

696
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: and yeah, there, this is a game. Despite the the

697
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: names were mentioning, you know, Spencer Brown not practicing today,

698
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: Kumero back on the field, tradevious kind of day to day,

699
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones taking a day off. This is uh, there's

700
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: still a really healthy football team right now coming out

701
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: of the buy. They're gonna they're better now than they

702
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: have been and most notably because they've got guys instead

703
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: of Taiwan Jones and Jake Kumero, it has been Jordan

704
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: Phillips and you know Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer and

705
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: those kind of guys, so certainly special teams are going

706
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: to be bolstered by the return of Kumaro, but the

707
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: top guy, the starting defensive line, starting offensive line, seems

708
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: to be getting healthier with the exception today of Spencer Brown.

709
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: We will take a break here. When we come back,

710
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: we'll take your phone calls and we'll talk a little

711
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: bit more about this upcoming matchup. We do want to

Speaker 1: the practice field, and we'll have podium salt from Josh

Speaker 1: as you always do. We know Bills Moffia is huge

Speaker 1: when it comes to community support, so good on you

773
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: for helping with that. We want to go to the

774
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: phones real quick and catch up with Dan in Eerie, Pa, Dan,

775
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: what do you got for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey, guys,

776
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. I try to follow the

777
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: bills on billswire dot com. And in the last week

778
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: there's been a speculation on the Bills being in on

779
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: the talks for Christian McCaffrey. Of course we know he

780
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: went to the forty nine ers, but now there's speculation

781
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: on cam acres from the rams. Do you see any

782
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: trade on the nearby horizon? No? Before the no no,

783
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: I don't think so. For cam Acres, I don't think so. Yeah,

784
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think so. Maybe. I mean, I'm

785
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: sure that if here's the thing, here's how it works. Usually,

786
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: teams make it known who's they, who they have that

787
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: they're wanting to trade or willing to trade, And through

788
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: conversations like that and all other wide ranging conversations gems have,

789
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: they they kind of know who's been made known to

790
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: them either. And it also happens with the agents the

791
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: gems find out about there's a list, an ongoing list,

792
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: and it's fluctuating as you can imagine those to who's

793
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: available and who's not for trade and gms you watch film,

794
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: they watch film on the guy and think, what do

795
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: you think? What's he worth? Do we need him? Are

796
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: we in? Are we out? And as basically as like

797
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: we're not interested in that guy anyway, or some of

798
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: us like that guy's available kind of thing. So it's

799
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has always thought and been more open than

800
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,280
Speaker 1: most gms about saying, yeah, we asked what they were asking.

801
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: Whether they're really interested or not, they still want to

802
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: know the market. Yeah, so they'll there's exploratory conversations all

803
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: the time, they'll find out about every guy who's open

804
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: for a trade and find out what he's worth it,

805
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: because if they if they want, if you think he's

806
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 1: a slight upgrade over somebody you've got who's not playing,

807
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 1: and it's worth it and it's cheap, you may do it,

808
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 1: even though it's at a you know, at a spot

809
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: that's not really you know, you know, all that important too,

810
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: losing kind of thing. I will say this running back

811
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't believe is considered a premium position by this organization.

812
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: The premium positions are quarterback, pass rusher, corner, left tackle,

813
00:46:53,960 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: and that's a wide receiver. Trading and parting with assets

814
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: to acquire an asset at a non premium position I

815
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: think is unlikely for the Bills. That's just the way

816
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: I see it. I don't pretend to know any inside

817
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: information on that subject. But if you look at the

818
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: way this team has drafted, the high draft choices, more

819
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: often than not are at those premium positions, predominantly at

820
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: those premium positions. When they draft running backs, it's in

821
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: the third round or later. There's a reason for that.

822
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: They don't believe it is a premium position in which

823
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: to invest capital to trade away or cap dollars on

824
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: a long term contract. So knowing that, I just don't

825
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: see that in the cards for the Bills in terms

826
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: of acquiring a running back via trade. I don't know

827
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: if you feel differently, but no, I mean, certainly it's

828
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: a little bit like it's just not it's an undervalued position.

829
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills feel like they have a

830
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: running back deficit production or otherwise. Certainly they know that

831
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: there's other guys out you know, there's sae Quon Barclays

832
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: of the world and that, like you said, Christian mccaffreys

833
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: of the world, or whoever seems to have the hot

834
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: hand around the league. But I think this organization, I believe,

835
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 1: feels like though running back spot is one that fluctuates

836
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 1: so wildly. So guy goodyear, good year, this year, awesome,

837
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 1: next year not so much, or torn hamstring, blown knee,

838
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: twisted ankle. It's a highly volatile position and if the

839
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: more you invest, the more risk you have because those

840
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: guys either a don't last very long in their career,

841
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: or b don't last very long week to week because

842
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: they're out in and out of the lineup, or see

843
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: one team is able to take it way too easily,

844
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: so they don't invest in a spot like why like

845
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: running back because all those factors, it's too volatile. So

846
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: Bruce Hall is a perfect example. The Jets traded up

847
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: in the second round to get Bruce Hall, and did

848
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: he make their team better? Unquestionably? You could play the

849
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: best running back in the draft in terms of all

850
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: around talent. But here we are in week eight. He's

851
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: lost for the season, probably won't be ready for the

852
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: start of next season, and they just traded a sixth

853
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: round pick to get another one, which probably tells you

854
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: all you need to know about the running back position.

855
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: So I just I don't think the Bills see it

856
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: as a premium position, certainly, not one in which to

857
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: part assets with. Now, there are exceptions, There's always going

858
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: to be exceptions. You know, you've got an all world player,

859
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: and I would put se Quon Barkley in that category.

860
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: Maybe something maybe it's different, but not for cam Akers.

861
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: Just no, we will take a break here when we

862
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: come back more on Bill's packers. Of course, we also

863
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: have Dawson Knox coming your way. Once practice is over,

864
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: you'll be in studio with us a little bit later.

865
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: On in the second hour of the program, So don't

866
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,399
Speaker 1: you go anywhere. War one Bills Live coming your way next,

867
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio is one

868
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Come by to Health. All right,

869
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: here we are our number two, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

870
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: with you as we are preparing me for Sunday night football,

871
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: Bill's Packers. And you know, we've been talking to some

872
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: people that cover the Packers this week. We had Robbed

873
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: Nimowsky on yesterday from ESPN dot Com. We even talked

874
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 1: to Michael Robinson about the Packers earlier in the week,

875
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: and there was even Field Yates who was just on

876
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: a couple of segments ago. And it just it looks

877
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: like it it sounds as bad as it has looked.

878
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: And can you can you fix all that after you're

879
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: on a three game losing streak and rally and play

880
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: a good game. I suppose it's possible whenever you have

881
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, But it just seems like

882
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: there's so much around him that is not trending upward

883
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: that it seems like a gargantuan task for Rogers to

884
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: fix by himself. There's a lot going on. And yeah,

885
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: and we've had the conversation earlier about how healthy it

886
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: is when you've got a guy of his caliber and

887
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: his stature seemingly unhappy with how things are going in

888
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. Now, this is also the

889
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: guy that remember famously said R. E. L A X relaxes.

890
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 1: He knew they did it, and he did it again

891
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when they were like eight

892
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: and six or something, or six and four or something

893
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: like that. They were just kind of middle of the road,

894
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: and then they won their last six, you know, to

895
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: go to go to the playoffs and get in, so

896
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: he knows things aren't right there. You watch them play,

897
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: there's a ton of drop passes. There's a couple of

898
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: things that you see that you've never seen from that offense.

899
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,959
Speaker 1: Him thrown to a spot on the field, and nobody's there,

900
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: most notably, so it just doesn't seem healthy right now,

901
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: you know. And you and I noted the head coach

902
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: seems strikingly silent in all of this that it defies logic.

903
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: I do not know what that means. It really is bizarre.

904
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: One thing we forgot to mention regarding tradevious White's participation

905
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 1: in practice. He is out of the red non contact

906
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: jersey now. But the other thing that I noticed that

907
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: was interesting about him today he was wearing sneakers, not cleats.

908
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: So even when practice is inside, you're wearing cleats. He's

909
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: wearing sneakers, which to me indicates practice in a limited capacity, right,

910
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: because if you're if you're going full bore, that may

911
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: be you're gonna have cleats. That may be a nod

912
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: to the sports science department saying, hey, you're gonna practice,

913
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna practice in cleats. You're gonna go.

914
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: And and because they're inside, now, if they were outside,

915
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,240
Speaker 1: maybe Gras, it's probably different, right, Grass, it might be different.

916
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 1: Let's not forget the injury happened on turf. Yeah, and

917
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: I think this is more about sports science and doing it.

918
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: And I don't I didn't notice see most of the guys,

919
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: they're all wearing cleats out there. Yes, Um, he's wearing sneakers.

920
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: To me, that's that's what that's about. I think that's

921
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: a nod to Yeah, then the surface that he's playing on,

922
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know that it has that much to

923
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: do with his knee maybe it does. It probably does,

924
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: but I think that's sports science and the rehab people

925
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:39,479
Speaker 1: just saying, you know what, let's do that, but let's

926
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: let's not put you in a in cleats because it

927
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: may be a mental signal to him saying, wait, I

928
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: gotta you know, so he has to think about where

929
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: his feet are and you know, and making sure he's

930
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: got food. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, because in

931
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: cleats you don't think about it. It's an interesting point. Yeah,

932
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: it's I and I think it's a thing I do.

933
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that's I mean, those are sneakers,

934
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. It may mean nothing, it may be something.

935
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: But usually when you see a player out on a

936
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: practice field in sneakers on a turf field, you're not

937
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: going one hundred percent because you can't. You can't plant

938
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: and drive as an NFL cornerback and sneakers. Yeah, the

939
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: new surface, like in team segments of practice things you

940
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: can't do it. We'd go out and sneakers on turf. Yeah,

941
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: well that's when it was a carpet concrete, you know,

942
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: that's when it was a carpet. It was like playing

943
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 1: on a on a cinder block wall, you know. So, um, yeah,

944
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: that's different. Yeah, that's interesting. I think that there is

945
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: something to that. There's probably some scientific or thought process

946
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: that went into that. I don't think that's to dayvious

947
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 1: saying you know what, I think I'll just practiced sneakers today.

948
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: Now something something's going on like that. And as we said,

949
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: just till early next week is the timetable that the

950
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: Bills have to make a decision on his roster status,

951
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: whether he goes from reserve pup to the fifty three

952
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: man roster or whether he goes from reserve PUP to

953
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: injured reserve. So that's a decision that has to be made.

954
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: They're going forward, Steve, I want to talk to you

955
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: a little bit about the approach here with the Packers

956
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: for Sunday night. We know that the Bills, you know,

957
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: have a more than capable defense. I mean, for gosh sakes,

958
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 1: they're number one in the league and points allowed, number

959
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: one overall, number one against the run. Do you what

960
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: are you anticipating from the Packers, because we know the

961
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: passing game has been an exercise of fits and starts

962
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: at best. They don't really have any consistency with the

963
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,479
Speaker 1: deep passing game. Even though Rogers is trying to throw

964
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: the ball down the field at times, he he just

965
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: has young receivers that can't make adjustments to the ball,

966
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: all run the right route, gain enough separation to make

967
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: the plays. And yet there is AJ Dillon and Aaron

968
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: Jones in the backfield to hand the ball off to.

969
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: And I tried to go back to see when they

970
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: the last time they really leaned on the running game

971
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: to carry them through a football game. It was against

972
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: the Bears in Week two. They let Aaron Jones and

973
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: AJ Dillon go and they ran wild in that game,

974
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: and they really haven't come back to that. And I'm

975
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: wondering if that is the approach here for a Packers

976
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: team that just has to get themselves right. That would

977
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: be I don't want to say conservative, Maybe that's not

978
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: the right word for it, but I wonder if that's

979
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: the approach that they take, because it's it's a twofold benefit.

980
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: If you can run the ball, you're controlling the clock,

981
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: you're reducing the possessions for Josh Allen on the other side,

982
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: and hopefully you're finishing the reason it got so bad

983
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: so quickly for the Packers is that. You know, you

984
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: lose the New York Giants and you think, okay, the

985
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: Giants are playing good, they're doing it. Then you lose

986
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: the Jets and you only score ten points. Now, the

987
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: Jets have a pretty good defense, pretty salty defense, and

988
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: they were healthy at the time. Then all of a sudden,

989
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: you drop one of the commanders. See it kind of

990
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: went because they had a three game winning streak before

991
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: this three game losing streak, right and after laying an

992
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: egg in the open after right after laying an egg

993
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: and an opener, which is apropos. They always do that.

994
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if apropos the right usage

995
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: of that, but which is what they always do. They

996
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: lay an egg in the opening day, so they probably

997
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: weren't panic mode after that. And then they win three

998
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: straight and think, Okay, here we go, we're gonna have

999
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: another thirteen win season. That kind of thing, even though

1000
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,479
Speaker 1: they had some bugs to work out well, these last

1001
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: three losses, I think it's gotten incrementally worse, not only

1002
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: because they haven't won, but they've looked bad doing it,

1003
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: and it seems to be trending the wrong direction. I think, now,

1004
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: if you're gonna start fixing stuff. You're right, I think

1005
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: they've been missing. And this is why I brought up

1006
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: the thing about the quarterback. They need to run the

1007
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: ball more, more, not less more, not let you know, effectively. Yeah,

1008
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: so AJ Dylan and Aaron Jones are good backs. They

1009
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,919
Speaker 1: need to run it more. And I'm that means taking

1010
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: it out of the hands of Aaron Rodgers. And the

1011
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: reason is it's like it's different than Josh Allen's, different

1012
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson taking it out of their hands. Aaron

1013
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: all he can do is throw it. And if those

1014
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: guys on the other end can't get it done, go

1015
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: with somebody who can get it done. You're running backs.

1016
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: They can't throw the football. It's not Aaron's fault with

1017
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: any consistency, right, they can't. It's not Aaron's fault. But

1018
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: he's got he's got to shoulder the responsibility of doing

1019
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: something that they can do to win, and that means

1020
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: handing it off. So you got to do it. And

1021
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: that's where I think they're gonna be landing at in Buffalo.

1022
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: If you can't throw it, what are you gonna do? Well,

1023
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: you gotta run it now and against If you're in Buffalo,

1024
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: and that happens, or if you're in Baltimore and that happens,

1025
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:10,919
Speaker 1: the quarterback is part of that. Still, he's still gonna

1026
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: run the football. He's still gonna drop back and then

1027
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: snap off a scramble or a quarterback draw play. You know,

1028
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: you can't do that if you're Green Bay. But that's

1029
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: where they're at. They need to fall back on a

1030
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: running game that carries the day for them, and they've

1031
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: been unwilling to do that. And I get it. You know,

1032
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: these are all close games that they're in, except for

1033
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: the Jet game, so they gotta you know, they're they're not.

1034
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: They don't feel like they're getting you know, trucked. But

1035
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: you gotta do what takes me win, and you know,

1036
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: so you gotta. And they've been pretty good in the

1037
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: red zone on offense. So I think if you have

1038
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: a run game that can just get you down there.

1039
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: Now you're in the red zone. Now, let Aaron do

1040
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: his thing. If you can't throw it because of the

1041
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: guys outside, either change the guys outside, simplify it for him.

1042
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Do it. And they you know, from by all accounts,

1043
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: they're trying this. I tried this. They nothing's working well.

1044
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: If I Yeah, you got to change your philosophy. Then

1045
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: if if nothing you do helps you throw the football better,

1046
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: you better start running it better. That's where they're at

1047
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, that's why I kind of expect them

1048
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: to try to run the ball early. And once again,

1049
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm super happy that, you know, Brandon Bean and the

1050
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: personnel department made the investments that they did at the

1051
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: defensive tackle position. De Quon Jones a rock, he's been. Yeah,

1052
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: he's been a game wrecker. He's been a rock. Jordan

1053
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: Phillips was injured. He's healthy now. Hopefully, hopefully Big Phil

1054
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: is fully healthy now after getting you know, an extra

1055
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: week to kind of shure up that hamstring, cutting it

1056
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: out for a game or two. Well, yeah, the last

1057
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: game against Kansas City, and the only reason I knew

1058
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: he wasn't one hundred percent. First of all, he was

1059
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: a limited participant in practice, but I watched him closely

1060
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: on a few plays in Kansas City, and he had

1061
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: two opportunities in the game where it was him and

1062
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and he had to you know, opportunity to

1063
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: chase him down, which normally he would do. Now I'm

1064
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna catch Patrick Mahomes, but closed the space.

1065
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: Maybe get a hand up in a passing lane, put

1066
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 1: him under dress, right, Yeah, and at least compete for

1067
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: a half second. He thought about it, and then he

1068
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: stopped because he knew, if I try to burst here

1069
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: and get after him, I'm gonna joint that hamstring all over.

1070
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: And he did the same thing, and then he held

1071
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. He got back on the field against Pittsburgh

1072
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: and didn't finish the game. He was the game was

1073
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: in hand and they took him out and he was

1074
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: standing over there. But there was a couple of times

1075
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: same exact thing. He had a chance to extend and

1076
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: go after it and stretch it out and run after somebody,

1077
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: and he had to say he had to give it

1078
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: a second thought. Yeah, maybe that's not the case going

1079
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: forward from now on. So with that defensive interior healthy,

1080
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: basically the entire defensive line is healthy. I mean AJ

1081
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: Dillon's a load, don't get me wrong. He's got legs

1082
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: like tree trunks. And Aaron Jones is quick to the edge,

1083
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: like really quick. This is the number one run defense

1084
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: in football. Man, it's a long day. It's a long day,

1085
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: and for both for both teams. It's gonna be a

1086
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: hard fought game. That's only if Green Bay decides they

1087
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: can they should do it. Like what we've said, if

1088
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: they do decide, they're gonna yeah, okay, we're gonna try

1089
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: and get some running game established. I mean, they know

1090
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: what they're looking at in Buffalo. I mean they're gonna

1091
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: have second thoughts about how successful they're gonna be. But nevertheless,

1092
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: if they do decide they're gonna do it and they're

1093
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: not gonna let up on it. It's gonna be a

1094
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: long day for the Bills defense too, and they'll give

1095
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: up some plays to this team in the running game.

1096
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: But overall, the Bills gotta feel really good about their

1097
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:51,959
Speaker 1: ability to get it done because Green Bay defense still

1098
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 1: has to keep it close. We heard coach McDermott when

1099
01:03:55,520 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: he addressed the media today pretty much pump the Packers

1100
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: tires and we know why. You know, you always have

1101
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: to mind your p's and q's as a head coach,

1102
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: not only because you don't want to create any bulletin

1103
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: board material, but you don't want to create a false

1104
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: sense of security amongst your team because that leads to complacency.

1105
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: And we know Sean McDermott is the polar opposite of that.

1106
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: So we hear him say Aaron Rodgers and that whole

1107
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: team is dangerous. You know, three years in a row,

1108
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: thirteen victories NFC Championship games, they've lost three in a row.

1109
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: But it's dismissed out of turn by coach McDermott, and understandably,

1110
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we know why. That's just the way he operates.

1111
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: Prepare for their best because there's a chance you might

1112
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: get their best, especially when you're top of the mountain

1113
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: in the AFC. You know you're gonna get everybody's best,

1114
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: so you may as well prepare for that. I'm just

1115
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: not convinced that they're gonna see anything close to that.

1116
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Maybe they will, and you know you're in a dog fight,

1117
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: but yeah, I have a hard time getting there. I

1118
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: really do. Like, yeah, listen, that the Bills are the

1119
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: better team. You know, I'm totally with you on that.

1120
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: I try to I try not to get too high

1121
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: on what I think the outcome of a game could be. Like. Obviously,

1122
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Bills was a different example. It

1123
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: was on the road, you know, the Week two against

1124
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: the Titans. I'm saying to myself. They should handle this team,

1125
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: but Tennessee always plays him tough. Maybe this is a

1126
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: grind it out, nip and tuck game and it's forty

1127
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: one to seven, right a little bit, Well, let's now,

1128
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: let's go back. Now, I'm looking at this Packers game

1129
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: and it's at home, it's prime time. I wouldn't blame

1130
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: Josh if he had an ax to grind against a

1131
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: guy who acted like the cool dude that didn't want

1132
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 1: to give him the time and day at the match.

1133
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: I think this could be an ugly game for the Packers.

1134
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: I really do. I like ugly, not Pittsburgh Steelers ugly,

1135
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: but not far off, not far off hood. Listen, I'm

1136
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: the same with you. I kind of get sometimes I do. Allah.

1137
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: The Chicago at New England game did not bring that up,

1138
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: you did? I know where. I thought the Chicago Bears

1139
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: were gonna get absolutely chewed up, like thrown into a

1140
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: tree grinder, chewed up. That didn't happen. I'm with you.

1141
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: You have scenarios about how things could go, But I'm

1142
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: telling you, with the way the team usually or has

1143
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: always played coming out of the bye with Sean McDermott, yeah,

1144
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: with the guy playing quarterback for the other team, and

1145
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: where your guy is and where he wants to go,

1146
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: he wants, he wants. What Aaron Rodgers has Sunday night,

1147
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: to me is a chance to take the guy's lunch money.

1148
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: And that's right. I think this game has no back

1149
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: end to it. I think it's all gas, no breaks.

1150
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna make a statement. We saw what the Chiefs

1151
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: did against the forty nine ers. We need to grab

1152
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: the spotlight back. Let's go and I that kind of thing,

1153
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: that kind of mentality. Our guys better, let's go out

1154
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: and prove it. And on Sunday night football standalone game.

1155
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: I just I just think that's where this game heads

1156
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: this Now, it could go south and doing and Green

1157
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: Bay could come in and make it and give them

1158
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: some problems and make it a close game and make

1159
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: it a dog fight. But Buffalo is the better team

1160
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: and if they don't turn it over, they're too hard

1161
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: to beat. Break time for us, because when we come back,

1162
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna be joined in studio by our fresh off

1163
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,200

Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, joining us. Welcome back from the bye there, Dawson.

1171
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. Got a little a little family time with mom,

1172
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 1: a little mom's son weekend or fantastic Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1173
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 1: a lot of time with its very time of year

1174
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: up here too. Trees are changing. Gosh, the last couple

1175
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: of days we're sunny and seventy is unbelievable. Yeah, good

1176
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,799
Speaker 1: for you, man. I think my rookie year before Halloween

1177
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: it was snowing. That does that can happen? Yeah? And

1178
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: as for this week, and it's been unbelievable yea. And

1179
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: as you know, because you've been here long enough. After Halloween,

1180
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: all bets are off for a little bit of an

1181
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: India that's that's kind of the point of no return

1182
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: of that. And it's a little bit of an Indian summer.

1183
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 1: You get that first frost, a couple of cold days,

1184
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: then it comes back for a couple of weeks and

1185
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 1: minute and it hits for good. So this is kind

1186
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: of feel like I think we have to start with

1187
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of congratulations. You know, your football exploits

1188
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: garner you some social media presence, but you did it

1189
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: in a different way. Recently, when Fox Sports decided to

1190
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: post the one loss records of the quote unquote New

1191
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: York football teams, and Dawson chimes in somewhat sarcastically, but

1192
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: I liked it. Should we tell them? Should we tell

1193
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Fox Sports? That was Dawson's retweet of the records posted

1194
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: by and then they fixed it. You you enacted up change.

1195
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: We got results. That's right. Good on you for that. Um,

1196
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 1: we know that this is a sticky, a sticking point

1197
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: for Bills fans, and you shed some light on it.

1198
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: So good for you for enacting change very well. I

1199
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: had no idea, And actually I know I look back

1200
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 1: on my Twitter. It's got like ten million views or

1201
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: something like that is going on. It's true. Yeah, that

1202
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: was awesome. The the vibe coming in and give us

1203
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: an idea that because you've been around for a while.

1204
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: Mcdermot's five and oh coming off the buy why why

1205
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: you know? I think he just does a great job

1206
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 1: letting us kind of have a mental reset, let your

1207
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: body get back right, if you got any knicks or bruises,

1208
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: kind of letting that just completely relaxed, and you're getting

1209
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: all that inflammation out, going home, seeing family, taking a

1210
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: little mini vacation if you want to. Um, I think

1211
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: that strategy is really paid off in the past, So

1212
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: why change it? Um? Yeah? Is because yeah, you're right,

1213
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 1: time off is time off if it really is indeed

1214
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: time off, right, because you know they say, hey, you

1215
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 1: guys won't need to but by the way, you guys

1216
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: need to come in for treatment a way of meeting

1217
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 1: on this day, and we're also going to do this

1218
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: and get a lift in time. But you're off right. Yeah, yeah,

1219
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 1: thankfully he gave us that time. And we're not gonna

1220
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: forget how to We're not gonna forget our playbook within

1221
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: a week. You know, everything's gonna come back as soon

1222
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: as we get about what about this though, because we

1223
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: know that coach is big on you, is focusing on you. Yes,

1224
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: you do your prep for the opponent, you watch your film,

1225
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 1: you prepare for guys, you're gonna be squaring off against

1226
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 1: personel Wise, all of that jazz. What about focusing on

1227
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 1: you guys? How does that change coming off a buy,

1228
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: Because inevitably the coaches are going to come up with

1229
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: a couple of things for the to do list, you know,

1230
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: whether it's at a position group, whether it's one side

1231
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,719
Speaker 1: of the ball or the other. Is this week because

1232
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: you still have to prepare for an opponent at the

1233
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: end of the week. But coming off the by are

1234
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: there little things that are thrown on the to do

1235
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:31,719
Speaker 1: list that you find through the course of the early

1236
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: portions of the practice week. Yeah, So really, the only

1237
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: thing that's different for us was Monday was kind of

1238
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: like an extra day for the Packers instead of being

1239
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 1: a review day for the game that we just played.

1240
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: So Monday we came in, got a lift, a little run,

1241
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: got treatment here and there, and then we had a

1242
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,759
Speaker 1: few meetings for the Packers instead of a few meetings

1243
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,639
Speaker 1: going over our previous game. So that was just kind

1244
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: of the extra day we got Monday. Yesterday was a

1245
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: normal off day. People still come in, get a lift,

1246
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: get recovery in. Then today was a normal Wednesday like

1247
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: we'd have any week. What about the Packers, what's the

1248
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: early returns and getting prepared for them. What's their personality?

1249
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: You know, they they've done a great job this year

1250
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: on defense kind of across the board. They have two

1251
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: great edge setters, bigger, heavier guys. Yeah, so they have

1252
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: a three or four defense with those outside linebackers that

1253
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 1: are setting edges. Um, So that puts a lot of

1254
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 1: pressure on us as tight ends. We gotta, you know,

1255
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 1: help control the line of scrimmage. And they got a

1256
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: very solid secondary too, so they're they've been solid across

1257
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: the board. I think they're number one in the league

1258
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: right now in passing defense. So that's a challenge for

1259
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: us that we're looking forward to going up against. UM.

1260
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: I know that you know, you and your family moved

1261
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 1: past a difficult time, but I thought it was super

1262
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: cool catching that ball in the end zone in Kansas City.

1263
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: Correct me if I am wrong. Is that the last

1264
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: game last year that your brother was on hand to

1265
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: watch you play. That's right in Kansas City, That's right.

1266
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 1: You can't tell me that's a coincidence that caught that

1267
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: touchdown pass at the end of the game. Somebody's in

1268
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: a premium seat up in the sky pulling some strings

1269
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 1: there for you. I think, Yeah, I mean that me

1270
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 1: and my family talked about that a little bit afterwards,

1271
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 1: and that was really special for us. UM, something that

1272
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: was very thankful for UM, just the way that one ended. UM.

1273
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 1: And what's crazy is my parents were at the game

1274
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 1: and there was a young I think he was like

1275
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: eighteen or nineteen guy by the name of Luke sit

1276
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 1: next to him who was a Bills fan. Get out.

1277
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: Just kind of a random coincidence there, But it's not random,

1278
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't think. Yeah, if you believe in divine intervention

1279
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: and I know you've got a faith based family, that's Yeah.

1280
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: It was really cool to see in here about My

1281
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: mom sat next to him the whole game and kind

1282
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: of shared some of our testimony with my brother Luke. UM.

1283
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: So it was a very yeah, poignant moment. I ain't

1284
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 1: no question about it. And obviously, UM, it's been a

1285
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 1: difficult It'll always be a difficult season. If you guys,

1286
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, hoist a trophy at the end of it, Um,

1287
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: what you know going forward and you know, how do

1288
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: you how did you get back into it? Because I

1289
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: have I have three brothers as well, and you can

1290
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: only imagine what it takes to take a deep breath

1291
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: and keep rolling. Yeah. Um. Really what helped a lot

1292
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: was getting back up here. Um, seeing a lot of

1293
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 1: my teammates that I care so much about, a lot

1294
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: of these coaches. I mean, just being in the community.

1295
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: That's really been so incredible. Um. I think they raise

1296
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: over three hundred thousand dollars in my brother's name. Um,

1297
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 1: just from day one after it happened. I mean, there's

1298
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 1: been so much outpouring of love and support from me

1299
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: in my family that it's been very, very touching. It

1300
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: just kind of confirms that this is exactly where I

1301
01:14:58,160 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 1: want to be. I want to be here as long

1302
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 1: as I can, so getting back up here, getting the

1303
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 1: routine and getting around people I love. Yeah, well I

1304
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: know this too, and knowing what I know about this area,

1305
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: that the fan base in the city, that it will

1306
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 1: probably it will continue. Yeah, they know how to put

1307
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: their arms around people. I don't think we don't need

1308
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 1: to tell you that you've seen that already, whether it's

1309
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: your knock socks, which you are back, yeah, right, or anything,

1310
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: I mean anything. You saw what they did for Josh

1311
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: and his grandmother a couple of years ago. I mean,

1312
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,720
Speaker 1: it never stops here. But why don't you talk to

1313
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:26,640
Speaker 1: us a little bit. Knock socks, let's hit it up,

1314
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 1: Let's let's get them. Yeah. Is it's still rolling right now?

1315
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 1: It's rolling right now. Yeah. So I'm still doing the

1316
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: same thing with a company called four bear Feet, and

1317
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: they've they've been incredible with this partnership. Every purchase of

1318
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: knock socks four bear Feet gets twenty five percent of

1319
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: that revenue to the Punt Foundation. Nice, and it's helping

1320
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: raise money for all these families that have kids with cancer.

1321
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: Um the Punt Foundation works with these kids and these

1322
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: families that sometimes can't even afford to park at the hospital.

1323
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: M So, it's just such an incredible organization to help

1324
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 1: give back to those families and help them afford care,

1325
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 1: afford their next meal, um, afford to be there with

1326
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: their family. Um So, knock Socks has been a pretty

1327
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: awesome way to do. Just tell everybody how they can.

1328
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 1: I saw them at the bill store actually yeah, but

1329
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: so they can get them there, right, Maybe just let

1330
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: everybody else know, like if you're not in town, like

1331
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: where you can get them. Um So, I have a

1332
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: link in my bio. I think it's on Twitter and Instagram.

1333
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Just Dawson Knox on both um you just click the

1334
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: link and the site comes out. I think we got

1335
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: new designs coming out soon. We got a bunch of

1336
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 1: new ones for the season already. Um. I think there's

1337
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: like an old mess one coming out at some point,

1338
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: and then um, there's a bunch there's there's a handful

1339
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: of them. So I think just through my bio on

1340
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: social media is probably the best way to do it.

1341
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: What's the most difficult part about playing on a Sunday

1342
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: night game coming up here? Honestly, it's my favorite time

1343
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: to play. Like I'd rather I'd rather play in the

1344
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: primetime games every week. I think it's just more fun

1345
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: to get amped up for you know, everyone's gonna be watching.

1346
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: Um the lights come on, and I think level of

1347
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 1: play it just escalates even that much more. Um So

1348
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: for me that those are always the most fun games.

1349
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: Sitting around during the day waiting for it. That's what

1350
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: some guys say, it's a long day. Yeah, it's it

1351
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:12,720
Speaker 1: definitely is a long day, but I kind of enjoy

1352
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: sleeping in a little bit. Well, last one for me, okay,

1353
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 1: so Green Bay comes into town. Aaron Rodgers across You

1354
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: watched the match where he was given Josh the needle,

1355
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, and all that. For me, I've been saying this,

1356
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: if you're if I'm Josh and you know him, you

1357
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: guys are all. But if I'm Josh, man, I want

1358
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 1: to I want like, I want to hang a fifty

1359
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: burger on that day, and if you're up, I don't

1360
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: care if it's fifty, I don't care if it's forty

1361
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 1: to zero. I want to go in the game and

1362
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 1: keep throwing it. Oh yeah, So who's the adult in

1363
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 1: the room that says, no, you know what, bro enough,

1364
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: such a ball cap on and wait for next Go

1365
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 1: get a clipboard, you know, and you listen to the

1366
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 1: plays being called. But that's is closer. Who's the you know,

1367
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: who's in or in the room or on the coach

1368
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,760
Speaker 1: who goes to Sean McDermot and says, coach, no, we're

1369
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: we're going, we're staying in. I mean, we're all about

1370
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 1: we want to step on people's throats when we get

1371
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: the opportunity, so especially this one. So I think we're

1372
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna do everything in our power to squad every single

1373
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 1: possession that we get. I know, Josh probably has a

1374
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: little extra something going forward into this game because I know,

1375
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: I know he's buddies with Aaron, so I know they

1376
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: there's enough. Yeah, there's a good natured incentive, but he's

1377
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: the two time defending MVP. Not to mention the fact

1378
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: that the only time Josh got shut out was in

1379
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay is rookie year, the third career start, and

1380
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: they lost twenty two to nothing. It was a rough day,

1381
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 1: but you know it was a different team then, and

1382
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: you know, he got sacked seven times. It didn't go well.

1383
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 1: Knowing Josh, he's got all those things in the back

1384
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 1: of his mind and they're not gonna be distractions, but

1385
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna be little little fuel would be Josh winning

1386
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: twenty two to nothing. It's scary. It's scary, like Josh

1387
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: is scary without any type of fuel at well, right

1388
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: then just give a little little yeah, good luck. Well

1389
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of where I'm at im because I

1390
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: you would have to think that particularly I have you

1391
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: ever played it, had a chance certainly now at this

1392
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: point you've had a chance to play with some guys

1393
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,679
Speaker 1: you're pretty good buddies with them played against Yeah, for sure.

1394
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 1: And the conversations that go into it in the off

1395
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: season about it coming up also after it's over. You

1396
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 1: don't want to leave that out there, right, I mean,

1397
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: no question. I mean, there's always going to be a

1398
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: little bit of chit chat back and forth, making bats

1399
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: here and there, a lot of trash talk leading into

1400
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: the game. Even during the game you're chirping your other

1401
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 1: buddy on the other side. And then after the game,

1402
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's fun to grab a picture. But I mean,

1403
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 1: then you got bragging rights for the rest of the

1404
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: year after you live a long year. That's one I

1405
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 1: got for you. With Coach Dorsey, you know, now kind

1406
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: of running the show on the offensive side of the ball.

1407
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: I haven't run the percentages yet, but it feels like

1408
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: there's been a little bit more a twelve personnel through

1409
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: the course of the season so far, so a little

1410
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: bit more than last year. Anyway. I know, Reggie's on

1411
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: the field, been on the field a lot more than

1412
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: twenty one as well. What are your what are your

1413
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: thoughts through the first seven weeks. I mean, you guys

1414
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: know coach Dorsey because he's been here. Obviously, it's not

1415
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: like he's some new guy dropping in out of the sky,

1416
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: but he's you know, he's calling it now. So just

1417
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 1: your thoughts through the first seven weeks. I think just

1418
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: that extra versatility that extra tight ends can add. Um,

1419
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: you bring us in the box and we can run

1420
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: the ball really well. Um. And then if the defense

1421
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 1: decides to throw an extra linebacker and there we spread

1422
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 1: him out and throw the ball. UM. So I'm thinking

1423
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: just exploits different matchups that depending on what the defense does,

1424
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: we can be run heavy during the game or you know,

1425
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: go to the passket Because I was telling him, I said,

1426
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: the Bills may run more twelve personnel. I said, but

1427
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 1: it's not your mom and dad's twelfth personnel. You guys

1428
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: run a different looking Oh yeah, it's it's the new ways. Well,

1429
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: what's it been like with Ken Dorsey? Now that had

1430
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: different vibe, different you know obviously it's you run in

1431
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: the plays and you're not you're not into privy the

1432
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: mindset going into the play call and any given momentum.

1433
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: How's it been with Ken and what do you notice? Yeah,

1434
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's done a fantastic job picking up where

1435
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: Dave's left off and adding his own little wrinkles. He

1436
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: picks up a lot on what Josh likes. Um. I

1437
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 1: know they've been close since Josh you got here, so

1438
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:11,559
Speaker 1: he knows exactly the concepts that Josh likes, what he's

1439
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: most comfortable with, and he does a great job implementing

1440
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: that every week and then, even though it's a very

1441
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: similar system, we've already seen a lot of wrinkles that

1442
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 1: are really cool to go out there on the field

1443
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: and use, especially with those twelve personnel twenty one personnel

1444
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: different packages. So you like playing primetime games, you'd rather

1445
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: play them all in primetime if you could. Is it

1446
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: just because it reminds you of of Friday night lights

1447
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: in high school? Or what's the what's the appeal? Just

1448
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 1: because everybody's watching? Is that it you're the only game going,

1449
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 1: or you know, honestly, I never got to play much

1450
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: in high school. Um, I was only a starter in

1451
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 1: my senior year. Right with an injury in high school,

1452
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: so I was only the starter in my senior year

1453
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, just okay to my ankle the very first game.

1454
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe it is some chasing the Friday night lights.

1455
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: But I think it's just something about knowing that all

1456
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: your friends, ends and family, everyone's gonna happen on TV,

1457
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, even if they're not there. That's the game

1458
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: that's nationally televised, that's the game people are waiting for,

1459
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: that's been promoted all week. Um, there's just a little

1460
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: extra juice that comes up promptimes. Good thanks again. Some

1461
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 1: time we'll let you hit the showers because it came

1462
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 1: fresh off the field. Probably smell great right now. Wah, Hey,

1463
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: I've probably spelled worse. So yeah, like Lee Smith for example,

1464
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: no question, Yeah, shout out to Lee Smith. All right,

1465
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: we will take a break, but that is your Oh

1466
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: we got Josh ready to roll at the podium. Okay,

1467
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: so Dawson the perfect lead in for one Josh Allen

1468
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: who's waiting at the podium. Let's go there now. It's great.

1469
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: And I went back to California, so our friends, family

1470
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: golfed a little bit. Um disconnected and now we're reconnected.

1471
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: So uh huh yeah streamline. Look, yeah, a little Halloween

1472
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: party the other day with the team. It was part

1473
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: of the costume. So yetta do what you got to

1474
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 1: do Rogers before the golf thing this summer or head

1475
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, we have connected a few times before that. Um,

1476
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: obviously playing in the Tahoe Tournament. We've got some similar

1477
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 1: similar people in our circle. Um so been able to

1478
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 1: talk with him there during the RX three golf event,

1479
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: which is a nice it was a it was a

1480
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 1: cool deal. So um again, I'm a big fan of

1481
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: him and obviously his play, what he's done in his career,

1482
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 1: it's been it's been awesome to watch as as a

1483
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 1: kid wanting to be who he is on the field

1484
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: and emulate his game because he's so dynamic. He does

1485
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: things that really no other quarterback had ever done before

1486
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: him and still does some some crazy things, you know,

1487
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,919
Speaker 1: moving off platform, ball placement like it's it's so impressive

1488
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: to watch him and um again, as a kid, that's

1489
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,759
Speaker 1: he's one of the quarterbacks that I looked up to. Obviously,

1490
01:23:56,080 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: Guy right canons that everything playing grow on the back

1491
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:08,639
Speaker 1: and you just don't flat on back foot and it's

1492
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: like a laser right. You look at that and say, well,

1493
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: we're not gonna crack copy that. Yeah. I mean as

1494
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: a kid though, it's like that's that's what you wanted

1495
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: to do. You know, you wanted to move and be

1496
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 1: able to throw on the run like he does. And

1497
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: you talk about a quick release, I mean still sometimes

1498
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: like it'll panto him, like warming up and from like

1499
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: where's hand starts to where it finishes, like it's in

1500
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: an instant. It's it's it's super impressive to watch, and

1501
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: sometimes it really doesn't look like it makes sense to

1502
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: me of how how quickly the ball can get out

1503
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: and accurately can get get there. Still Aaron is and

1504
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 1: what the bank up is the heavy reis having helped

1505
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: him las things. How much women he says, the things

1506
01:24:54,240 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 1: that happening highly high upper balls will both the people. Yeah,

1507
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean again, he's He's Aaron Rodgers, um and one

1508
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: of the best, if not the best quarterback to ever

1509
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: play the game. And I think we understand that. All

1510
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 1: we can focus on, though, is putting our best fo

1511
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: forward in practice, developing a game plan and going out

1512
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:16,720
Speaker 1: and try and execute Sunday night. Gosh, you know, we

1513
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: know that you're your biggest critic. Just evaluate yourself for

1514
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: the first six weeks, um. I mean we're five and one,

1515
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,679
Speaker 1: so that's that's the most important thing to me. Obviously,

1516
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: I think there's some plays that we wish we had

1517
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: back and things that we can continue to get better on.

1518
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:33,839
Speaker 1: Our our red zone efficiency needs to needs to improve,

1519
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: and that's solely on my shoulders. They're making the right

1520
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: decisions with the football um. But again, I mean there's

1521
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: lots alike. You know. I love how this team has

1522
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: jailed together, how we interact with each other, the communication

1523
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 1: that we have in the locker room and on the

1524
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 1: football field. You know, I think it's a bond in

1525
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 1: our locker room that's second to none in the in

1526
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 1: the league. Guys care about each other, they care about

1527
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 1: doing their jobs. We got true professional football players here

1528
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:01,640
Speaker 1: and it's an awesome environment to be around. All right.

1529
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: That's Josh Allen addressing the media after practice today. Certainly

1530
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,640
Speaker 1: has a lot of respect for Aaron Rodgers, fellow California

1531
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 1: native and a guy that he said he obviously looked

1532
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: up to as he was growing up. We will take

1533
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 1: a break here, Steve and I to come back and

1534
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 1: close things up next here on One Bills Live presented

1535
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, here

1536
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:44,679
Speaker 1: we be One Bills Live as we close out a Wednesday. Steve,

1537
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: what do we think about Josh shaving off the chops?

1538
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 1: He went to the team's Halloween party dressed in a tuxedo.

1539
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he was the Great Gadsby Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah,

1540
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 1: it could have been James Bond. I'm I'm leaning Great

1541
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Gatsby because his significant other, Brittany, was dressed as a

1542
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 1: flapper in nineteen twenties. Person right, And perhaps the best

1543
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: costume was was done by none other than Micah Hyde, who,

1544
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: as we know, had surgery for a herniated disc. And

1545
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 1: he we happened to see him in the hallway today

1546
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: and I asked him. I said, people on social media

1547
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,720
Speaker 1: were saying you decided to be Frankenstein because you had

1548
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,879
Speaker 1: next surgery. And he said, that is one hundred percent accurate.

1549
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: That's what he told us. Yeah, and he said he

1550
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: gave his wife kra His wife, Amanda, came up with

1551
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: the idea as soon as he had next surgery. He

1552
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: came out of next surgery, everything successful for the herniated disc,

1553
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: and she said, you're going to be Frankenstein for Halloween. Well,

1554
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 1: sure enough, I mean, and he did it up like

1555
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, like some people put that rubber

1556
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: Frankenstein mask on. Oh no, it was the full makeup deal.

1557
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: That's the one thing we should have asked him who

1558
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 1: did the makeup? Because he had like an extended square

1559
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: cranium like on his head, like blended in. Oh it

1560
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: was good. It was like high end like it wouldn't

1561
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: surprise me if he went to some like Hollywood makeup

1562
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: artist or something like. It was really authentic. He had

1563
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 1: the green hands. And every again, we gotta get we

1564
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: gotta get pictures of the I think there were some

1565
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: on on Instagram with some of the guys accounts and stuff.

1566
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 1: We'll see if we can get some tomorrow for the show.

1567
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Speaker 1: But we get closer to Halloween, those guys pull out

1568
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 1: all the stops. Like some of those guys go all

1569
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: intraight too, because the families are involved, right, so you

1570
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 1: get all the significant and everybody. Everybody wants to do

1571
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: it up right. So oh yeah, even if the players

1572
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: are kind of like I don't know, they're forced, they're

1573
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 1: forced into sometimes the significant others weighing heavily on the

1574
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 1: commitment level exactly to what happens there. So yes, that

1575
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:07,599
Speaker 1: is on the mark. So if we can come across

1576
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:09,880
Speaker 1: some of those, we'll try to pass them along. I

1577
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 1: did see Stefan Diggs was a er physician at the

1578
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,200
Speaker 1: Stethoscope and the scrubs. You want to go to a

1579
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Halloween party, comfy going hospital scrubs, and that'll work big time.

1580
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: It is basically the alumni show here tomorrow. Stevie Johnson

1581
