213
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: in the bar Bill at a week old, and I

214
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: started late in the week. I was wondering if they

215
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: were going to get I was like, what are you

216
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: waiting on? You know, it's kind of the village attitude

217
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: over there. Yes, it is, right, So we're talking about

218
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: that all right. So enough about that. We got a

219
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: show to do here today, and a good one. Bill's

220
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: practicing as we speak. They're over in the stadium at

221
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: New Airfield practicing. Should be wrapping up shortly. I would

222
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: think questions and we'll try to get some of the

223
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: answers about the injured Bills, including Devin Singletary with his

224
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: hamstring has not practiced all this week, Tarn Johnson with

225
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: his hamstring has not practiced this week. Tredavious White has

226
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: been limited the last two days with a neck. I

227
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: think they feel pretty good about his chances. Yesterday Sean

228
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: McDermot said he is trending in the right direction, which

229
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: is what you want to hear. Who else, I'm curious

230
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he's coming back, and we

231
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: might not know today. Uh. Andre Roberts, the return specialist,

232
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: hasn't played yet this year with his quad, has been

233
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: limited limited. It'll be interesting if he's full to day

234
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: and that gives him a chance. Yeah, so we'll see.

235
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: And and the other one is Tyler Croft heard his

236
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: foot in practice early yesterday. His ankle. Yeah, and you

237
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,599
Speaker 1: know he missed obviously everything since the spring with that

238
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: foot injury. And we'll get an update on all this.

239
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: And as I've understand, it was the opposite ankle from

240
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: the foot injury. Yeah right, yeah, So so we'll get

241
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: those injury updates. Bills and Bengals. We got the game

242
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: one o'clock on the Sunday. I'll have the play by play.

Speaker 1: Eric would with the color analysis. Talk to Eric this morning.

244
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: Eric s got I think this game in next week,

302
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch. And I'm right where I

303
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: was at second half of last season. I could see

304
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: it happening with Josh Tayan. I thought this was the

305
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: he was the most it was the most compelling Bills

306
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: team to watch, the most fun team. I couldn't wait

307
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: for the next game more so than any points since

308
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: since I retired. I was really excited about watching this

309
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: team every game of last half of last season. Now

310
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: you can imagine what I think about this crew. Yeah,

311
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: and you know I'm happy. Look, I'm not going to

312
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: damp in expectations or damping in your fun out. I

313
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: want everybody to have fun and I want you to

314
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: feel good about this team. I think you should. I

315
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: think they are good signs. But I will say this,

316
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: this this game Sunday, this build up, this week, to

317
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: me is the payoff for some some really good work

318
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: by Brandon Mean and Sean McDermott and their entire staff,

319
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: and the payoff for fans who have been exceedingly patient

320
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: this group and have bought into the process. You know,

321
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: it's not it was awful last year a couple of times,

322
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: losing those first two games away they did, losing to Chicago.

323
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: Member walking in here saying after the Bears lost, so

324
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: this is the bottom, right, we bottomed out here, and

325
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: yet Bills fans stay with them, and they were rewarded

326
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: a little bit by the end of last year and

327
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: a lot so far this year. This is the payoff,

328
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: So soak it up, Bills fans, enjoy it, revel in it.

329
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: You know you'll have good weather, you got a pretty

330
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: good tag team, and you got a winnable game here. Now,

331
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: on the other hand, and this is where I don't

332
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: want to damn expectations, the Bills cannot just walk in

333
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: here and roll. They need to play well. They need

334
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: to play well Sunday to beat the Cincinnati Bengals. And

335
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: that gets us to our Twitter poll today that Ste've

336
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: already previewed a little bit about this game. What matchups

337
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: do you think are key? It's not just the Bills

338
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: roll the football out there and say we got this.

339
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: They don't. We got to play well because the Bengals

340
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: have some talent. Arguably, I think, and I had this

341
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: brief discussion this morning with Sean McDermott, arguably that the

342
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: most talented team the Bills have played so far this season.

343
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Do you agree? I mean, the Jets were good going

344
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: into Week one. They're certainly have fallen off a lot

345
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: since then. Yeah, I agree, I think it's the most

346
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:09,239
Speaker 1: talented team they've played. We didn't. Yeah, the Jets. Defensively,

347
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: maybe the Jets have the Bengals a little bit. I

348
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: think their defensive fronts are very kind of parallel, but

349
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: the secondary of the Bengals is not as good as

350
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: the Jets are with Jamal Adams and those guys back there,

351
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: although their secondary and their corners were weak. Yeah, it's

352
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: I think they're very parallel, are the Jets and the

353
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Bengals at this point, But man oh man that the

354
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: Bengal offense is much much more accomplished than the than

355
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: the Jet offense at this point. Yeah, so I think

356
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: this is a better Bengals team than any that the

357
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: Bills have faced. I'm putting the Jets above the Giants

358
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: at this point. So you know, there's that, and you

359
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: can take issue with that if you want, but yeah,

360
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: this is this is the game. This is a one

361
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: more step in the in the process of getting to

362
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: where you want to be and and proven the kind

363
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: of team you really are. Wee can week out and

364
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: you've got to expect to beat these guys. I mean

365
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: we do as fans, but I think this is even

366
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: outside of Buffalo, this is a game where people are

367
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: looking at its saying, yeah, the Bills should beat that.

368
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: It's two and oh against o and two, and the

369
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: teams have looked like they've looked. The Bengals have gotten

370
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: some of their offensive success in garbage time. There's that

371
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: their offensive line continues to be nicked up. The Bills

372
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: front is not and they're deep. Yeah, this looks like

373
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: a game that's gonna be a lot of fun for

374
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: Bills fans on opening Day. Yeah, all of that, you

375
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: can expect it, you can anticipate it. They still have

376
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: to play well and that would be the only caveat

377
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: I would lay out there. Twitter poll today this Sunday,

378
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,840

00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: The Bills defensive front seven against the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line.

400
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: And you know why, I don't know who's gonna play

401
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: up front for the Cincinnati Bengals. They've had a ton

402
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: of injuries. Corty Glenn, listening on their depth chart as

403
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: a starter, has not played yet the years you can

404
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Andre Smith started to tackle last week. Former

405
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: first round pick who was let go and then came

406
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: back this year. He started last week. He came up

407
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: with a bit of an injury yesterday. Andre Smith, number

408
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: seventy one, Well, he start Michael Jordan pretty talented. Well,

409
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: he's okay, he's a guard. Michael Jordan is his name.

410
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: He came up with the knee and has not practiced

411
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: yet this week. Maybe going today. He was their starting

412
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: left guard, so maybe John Jerry gets to start there.

413
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: Trey Hopkins at center. Do you know John Miller, the

414
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: former Bill He starts at right guard. Bobby Hart is

415
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: their starter listed at right tackle. On the offensive side

416
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: of the ball. I don't know who's going for the

417
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: Bengals on the offensive line. They may not know who's going.

418
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of injuries and a lot of

419
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: just guys on the offensive line. So to me, the

420
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: key matcher for the Bills is the Buffalo defensive front

421
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: and they can generate pressure, and I think they will

422
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: generate pressure. I look for them to pressure Andy Dalton

423
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: to get to him, to knock those passes down the

424
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: way they have what they got seven deflected passes, the

425
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: Saxon turnovers and zax And gets. I think that's the

426
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: matchup to watch. That's when I'm move. I totally agree

427
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: with you. We've been talking about this all morning. This

428
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: is if you want a game at this point of

429
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: the season, where this is a defense that this team

430
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: has leaned on the last two years. They've been the

431
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: solid part of it, and they've been consistent. Their past

432
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: defense has been extremely good over the past two years

433
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: three years, and they're going up against a team that

434
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: had Given that situation, this is a chance for the

435
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills defense to flex. They can need to show

436
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: up big in this game. If they are who they

437
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: say they are, this is a game they should be

438
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: a difference maker. They should take control of this game

439
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: on that when Cincinnati has has the ball and if

440
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: if they don't, I want to see I want to

441
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: know why this is. Yeah, this is a group that

442
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: has been struggling offensively up front, so let's see what

443
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: the Bills defensive front can do. They did it against

444
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: a jet a jet offensive front that was struggling. They

445
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: got four sacks, tipped five passes. It should be more

446
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: that this week. Now. Andy Dalton is a veteran, experienced quarterback.

447
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: He may be able to kind of hang in there

448
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: and make some things happen that Sam Darnold could not

449
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: because of his experience and because of his guys on

450
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: the outside. But this is a game I expect given

451
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: what we know before the game starts, you expect that

452
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: this is our The defensive front of the Bills should

453
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: flex its muscles, would think, And that's what I'm looking

454
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: to see. That's what you look to see. What are

455
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: you looking to see? Callers, viewers, listeners, give us a

00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: what's coming in on the tweet sheet. Are you ready

459
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: for that? Steve? I am? I think you are. The

460
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: tweet sheet is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

461
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Do you have

462
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: your tweet sheet in front of you? I do. Now

463
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: Here we go from from d Jack, here we go.

464
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: I want to see our d line against that beat

465
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: up Bengals offensive line should be able to generate pressure,

466
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: which will hopefully bring Andy Dalton's passing stats back to reality.

467
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: If the Bills get off to a good start, I

468
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: want to see them finish a team off. Please not

469
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: another sloppy second half. That's a good point. It's an

470
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: interesting point. Sloppy second half. What's he talking about? Last week? Giants?

471
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: You know they kind of walked through the third quarter

472
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: right in a funk. But when they needed to score,

473
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: when it became a seven point game, they marched down

474
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: the field another long scoring drive and scored. I don't

475
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: know if it was sloppy, it was sort of. I

476
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: don't know, just everybody kind of fell asleep in the

477
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: third quarter of both teams. Actually, last week, in the

478
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: third quarter, nothing happened on the third quarter. Confessionally, I

479
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: did not watch, you know, go back Monday morning and

480
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: watch the games over. I got to the third quarter,

481
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: I said, I don't need to see any of this,

482
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: went right through it, right to the war. That's what

483
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: kind of a game it was last week. I'm kind

484
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: of on this thing too. I'm one ALI read one

485
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: four from the tweet sheet and then I'll comment out

486
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: of the reason why I brought it up from Tony,

487
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: he says, I hope the front seven get double digit

488
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: sacks at Oliver first three sacks. I mean calling for

489
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: the hat trick. Listen, last night the Jacksonville Jaguars sacked

490
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans nine times. It was unbelievably. It was

491
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: an unbelievable domination last night, twenty to three. They won

492
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: that game, and I think. You know, I'm not saying

493
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna get nine sacks, but that's what a defense

494
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: can do when they get against an offensive line that's

495
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: struggled to be put together, doesn't have any cohesion. Whether

496
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: they got talented guys up front or not, they're struggling.

497
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: They got backups playing, they got guys who haven't taken

498
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: a lot of reps playing. That's what you're looking at,

499
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what I'm thinking about this game

500
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. They're gonna be kind of set up

501
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: for the exact same thing. Calais Campbell last night dominated

502
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: down inside. I think the Buffalo Bills have got to

503
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: be thinking forget about Hey, this is a game, we're

504
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: gonna have a good You got to on a game

505
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: like this. This is this is You're expected to do this.

506
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: As pro athletes. You're expected to be a better team

507
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: when you're healthy. Starting an eight man rotation of the

508
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: guys that you want upfront against an offensive line that

509
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: is missing, a left tackle that's missing, a guard that

510
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: is missing, that has a guy playing starting guard who

511
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: couldn't make your team who you released. I mean, this

512
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: is yeah, it's it's put up it's a time where

513
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: you should show off a little bit. And I'm not

514
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: saying that you go in there like, you know, laughing

515
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: about it. This is when you buckle down and say, hey,

516
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: if we don't do it here, we're not all we

517
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: think we are. Yeah, yep, thanks for that. Let's take

518
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: a phone call on this topic. Which matchup are you

519
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: most looking forward to? Sunday? Got a call here from Fresno, California.

520
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: Chance in Fresno, California, you're on the air with us. Hello, Chance,

521
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how you guys are doing Okay? Thank you

522
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: guys for the Sundays. I listened to you guys on

523
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: the radio and watch the game on the TV, so

524
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: just to hear guys voice. But awesome, Thanks Chance. One

525
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: of them. One of the matchups I wanted to go

526
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: through is Trevis White. I mean, I mean he was

527
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: a solid cornerback his rookie season. I mean, it looks

528
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: like there's gonna be a star. But is it me

529
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: or the last couple of games so much has been

530
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: frustrated and I mean, how has it been making those

531
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: big plays? I noticed first game he gave up probably

532
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: about a hundred jobs evening and probably saw on the

533
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: second game. Chance, with all due respect, it's you. Yeah,

534
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: I think Todavius Whites played pretty well. I don't know

535
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 1: about their hundred yards stats. Bill's passing defense is at

536
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: the top of the league. Um, and it starts with

537
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: Trendavious White. I mean, I get what you're saying, and

538
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: you'll see guys, they'll complete a pass on him once

539
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: in a while. Uh. But uh, Trey is playing well,

540
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: so don't worry about him. They're they're past defenseless and

541
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: net yard's passing. They've given up less than two hundred

542
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: yards in the two games. Uh to this point. They

543
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: go back to last year's and the number one past

544
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: defense in the in the NFL. I mean that's a trend,

545
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: and you're right, a lot of it is trends. Yeah,

546
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: I think it is from I mean the UPS does

547
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: help out with the Blitzer is but I was watching

548
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: the PFF and he was coming a third hunterback this season. Yeah,

549
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: the first two games, but I don't know. I mean

550
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't go by the six that much, um or

551
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: anything like that. But also the running game, I mean,

552
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. They're gonna look like, don't say

553
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna play this. I mean most of all practices

554
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: all weeks and usually it's once by five day in

555
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: miss practice. Is is kind of a doubtful situation and

556
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. I or is going to be

557
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: able to to handle the load. I mean, I think

558
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: we're going to start getting a little bit sit over there. Um.

559
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, are offensive lines do plays right? Um?

560
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: Their defensive lining, you know, their defensive lines calaber the

561
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: challenging for for us to sweep because you know they're

562
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: offensive lines being dubt so uh and I expect and

563
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: all of them to get you know, a couple of

564
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: sacks for you know, not a couple, but his first

565
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: sack of the season. I know he played great last

566
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: week with the tip ball. Um, and you know I'm

567
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: looking off the line. Get your opinion on that, all right?

568
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: Well Chance, Yeah, you hit all the high points there.

569
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 1: Obviously you're you're a big fan. It's nice to hear

570
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: from you. I listen as far as the cornerback rankings,

571
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: going back to what you said about Tredavious, it's two games.

572
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: Let's you know, let's buckle down. I mean they're only

573
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: get they're getting up less than two hundred yards a

574
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: game passing um. There's not too much to complain about,

575
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: and you can I think it's nitpicking, a leak a

576
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: little bit, pick a guy out and say he's not

577
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: playing well. I trust Tredavious. I think the team trusts

578
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: him to go wherever their best receiver goes. You're right,

579
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: this is a game where if if Devin Singletary can't go,

580
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: if he is hampered by the hamstring, it'll be interesting

581
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: to see what they do at their running backs. Two

582
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: guys that are really actual running backs. You know, he

583
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: got DeMarco who's a fullback who you know he can play,

584
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: he knows the plays, but you know he's not Devin Singletary, right,

585
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: So you got two guys that are really going to

586
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: carry the load. It'll be interesting to see how they

587
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: cover for those guys. Yeah, I'm eager to see how

588
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: they use t. J. Yelden. My sense is, and we

589
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of Yelden, But he's not Devin's Singletary.

590
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: He's a totally different size, body type, totally different type

591
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: of back too, And I wonder if he gets the

592
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: same you know down in distance reps that the Devin

593
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Singletary got. I'd be curious to see how that plays out.

594
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: The Bills will miss if he doesn't play, and he

595
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: hasn't been ruled out officially yet as in practice yet

596
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: this week, but they will miss. I believe the spark

597
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: that's Singletary, the motor provides, and the type of runs

598
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: he provides, I really believe that um And we'll see

599
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: if ye Look, Yelden is a capable of veteran NFL

600
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: running back. But does he have what Singletary has? Does

601
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: he give him what Secretary has been given him? I

602
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm I'm gonna say I'm worried about it,

603
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: but I'm interested in that well as we don't know,

604
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: and neither do the Cincinnati Bengals. So there's that they

605
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: and but Devin Singletary is getting a lot of snaps, Yeah,

606
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps. Somebody's got to take those. And

607
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: if it's all t J. Yelden, or if it's more

608
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: if it's Gore and t J. Yelden, If Gore expands

609
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: his role and Yelden comes in and takes over some

610
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: of that other, I'm sure it will. And the way

611
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: it usually happens, they'll have a plan going in that

612
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: Yelden is going to take maybe sixty percent of the

613
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: snaps Singletary got, and Gore will take his snaps and

614
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: the remaining forty percent of singletaries. But happen if Yelden

615
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: gets in there and gets a couple of carries and

616
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: starts rolling, that all changes. They change on the fly.

617
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: That's the way the NFL works these days. It's not

618
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: like you go in you're gonna do this, We're gonna

619
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: do that. We're gonna listen, if we start doing that

620
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: and this things start working. They change their plan on

621
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: the fly. When plus when they get a handle on

622
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: what Cincinnati season, how they're changing their defense, they change

623
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 1: their offense and their planned and all their play selection,

624
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's all ongoing during the game. That's

625
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: why all these coaches have highs on the field. They

626
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: got these experienced film watchers who watch these games as

627
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: though they're watching film and say, hey, I see this,

628
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: I see this, and they keep it's all fluid as

629
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: it flows through this game. That's the state of the

630
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: NFL right now. And as big a plan as you

631
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: have going in, you might have to throw the thing

632
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: in the garbage in the first series or two because

633
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: they're not the team you thought they were gonna be.

634
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: The referee Sunday is good one. Yeah, I think he's

635
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: a good one. I think he's my favorite at this

636
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: point in history. I do. I like him. I like

637
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: he's the one who he'll see it. He'll come on,

638
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: he'll say after the play personal foul on number seventy

639
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: eight defense. You know, he like he's gonna surprise you

640
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: with a call, right, Yeah, you watch, you'll see, you'll

641
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: see he'll say pass interference offense and number three. He

642
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: always like surprises you with who it's on. You'll remember it.

643
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah right. We got officiating issues to talk about as

644
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: the show moves along today as well. We got a

645
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: lot to do, including Dan Horte, who's the play by

00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: yard touchdown Baby, and the Bengals lead with forty four

655
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: seconds to go. One of the great plays in Bill's history.

656
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: But the Cincinnati Bengals touched down to put the Buffalo

657
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: Bills in the postseason a couple of years ago. The

658
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve a couple of years ago. The play

Speaker 1: one of the most he never get plays in Bill's history.

669
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: We were done in Miami. We were finished. We were

670
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: finished in Miami watching that game. Our game was over

671
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: like fifteen twenty minutes. Yeah, I remember seeing the scene

672
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: in the locker room and tears coming to guys. That

673
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: was a special day. I kind of wish the shoe

674
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: had been on the other foot and the Bengals are

675
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: playing the following week. But you know, anytime my favorite

676
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: team can help my second favorite team, that's a good thing.

677
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: Talk to us a little bit of you said, I know,

678
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: my guy here, Murph has been played by play for

679
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: a baseball he's been a college football You also do

680
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: the Bearcats. Talk talk. What's the biggest difference for you

681
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: doing college football like the Bearcats and then doing an

682
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: NFL game. I'll tell you the biggest thing, Steve, is

683
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: the sheer number of players that get into the game.

684
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to do a lot of homework

685
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: to do a good job on an NFL broadcast, But

686
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: those college games can be crazy, especially if you get

687
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: at outside a game and guys number eighty through one

688
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: oh five get in there. It's like doing an NFL

689
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: preseason game. So there's a lot of memorizing games and

690
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: numbers that go into college games, even more so than

691
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. Dan Horden is our guests, He's the play

692
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: by played voice of the Cincinnati Bengals. Dan, let's talk

693
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: a little bit about Cincinnati All week long. Steve and

694
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: I have been laughing. I wish I had a nickel

695
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: for every time we said about the Bills. It's only

696
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 1: two games. It's only two games with the Bengals too,

697
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: But tell us what you see from that offense which

698
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: is so prolific through the air and struggles so much

699
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: on the ground. Knowing, of course that it's only two games,

700
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: what do you think it's been a mystery. Because Joe

701
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: Mixon led the AFC in rushing last year and he's

702
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: a great player, the fact that he's averaging dewer than

703
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: two yards to carry is hard to fathom. They've got

704
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: problems up front. They've been injury battered on the offensive line,

705
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: and the offensive line has really been the issue here

706
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: for the last three years, and to the Bengals credit,

707
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: they've taken great steps to try to fix it. They

708
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: made the trade with Buffalo last year to get Cordy Glenn.

709
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he's been in concussion protocol for a month. They

710
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: took the number one offensive lineman drafted in this year's draft,

711
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams, out of Alabama. He suffered a serious shoulder

712
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: injury during OTAs. How often does that happen. It wasn't

713
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: even full contact training camp. Who was back in Ota.

714
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: They drafted an offensive lineman in the first round last year,

715
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: Billy Price. He began training camp with plantar fasciitis. So

716
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: their best effort to try to fix this thing, unfortunately

717
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: have been hampered by injuries and as a result, that

718
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: remains the number one issue on the team. And it

719
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: also it doesn't help that aj Greene hurt himself on

720
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: the opening practice, opening rep of training camp this year

721
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: and is out for the foreseeable future of the immediate future.

722
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: But they did find John Ross. Talked to us about

723
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: John Ross, the former first round draft pick who was

724
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: a little bit invisible perhaps early in his career. Now

725
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: it seems like they've leaned on him and he's come

726
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: through for them. He's finally healthy. That's really what it is.

727
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: Steve two years ago when he was taking number nine

728
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: overall in the draft, he was injured and barely played.

729
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: I think he had one touch his rookie season and

730
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: missed most of the year. Last year, he did get

731
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: on the field and he finished with seven touchdown catches.

732
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like he didn't do anything positive, but

733
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: he only had twenty one total catches last year. Now

734
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: this year he's healthy. This offense suits his talents. Andy

735
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: Dalton's looking for him, and it's produced big results in

736
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: the first two weeks since he's leaving the NFL and

737
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: receiving yards. Isn't more than speed with him. I mean

738
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: the speed is glaring, obviously a four two two forty

739
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But to get this kind

740
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: of production even early in the season here, it's got

741
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: to be more than just flying down the field and

742
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: outrunning people, isn't it. It is? And I tell people

743
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: all the time this will surprise you because of that

744
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: four two two forty time at the combine that's set

745
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: the record. But to me, he's even more quick than

746
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: he's fast. And I mentioned the seven touchdown catches that

747
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: he had last year. Six of the ten were inside

748
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: the ten yard line. So that's a guy who with

749
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: his quick feet gets immediate separation in the red zone

750
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 1: and allows him to make those you know, touchdown catches

751
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: in confined quarters inside the ten, inside the five, etc.

752
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: So he's got great quickness and speed. The issue with

753
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: John will be two things going forward. Number One, he

754
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: does and have great hands. Pro Football Focus has him

755
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: for four drops this year. I remember three that were

756
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: really pretty blatant. But in any case, that's a problem

757
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks, and I think you're probably

758
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: always going to have to live with some drops from

759
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: John Ross. You'll take the trade off for the big plays.

760
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: And then the second thing is he's been injury prone

761
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: to this point. Will that continue. He's not a particularly

762
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: big guy. He does have the blazing speed, but we'll

763
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: see if he's able to maintain his health long term.

764
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: I've noticed also that John Ross, as fast as he is,

765
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: everybody thinks he's going to catch balls over the top.

766
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: He runs routes. I mean he's been catching them short

767
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: and then breaking loose and out running guys to the

768
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: end zone. How has Zach Taylor's new head coaches offense

769
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: really tailored itself to use guys like that. It's not

770
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: really that kind of offense words, you know, the old

771
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: Darryl Lamonica over the bomb, over the top kind of

772
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: You know, this is a different kind of offense. That's

773
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: been a big change this year. Now, you just my

774
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: feelings because I'm old enough to know who Daryl Lamonica is,

775
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: so that dates all of US. I guess, but Zach

776
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: Taylor came from the Rams. He was their quarterbacks coach

777
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: last year and he was on the staff under Sean

778
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: McVay for the last two years, so he basically brought

779
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: the Rams offense to Cincinnati. So one of the biggest

780
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: thing that things that stands out when you watch that

781
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: Rams offense is that the wide receivers often line up

782
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: in tight formation, tight to the offensive line and often

783
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: in bunched formation, so that helps them get that immediate separation.

784
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: It's a little bit harder for the defense to determine

785
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: who's got who and maintain that tight coverage close to

786
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And that's all it takes for

787
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 1: John Ross. Give him a little bit of a cushion,

788
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: put the ball in his hands, and let that speed

789
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: and quickness take over. Dan Hoard our guests to play

790
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: by play radio voice of the Cincinnati Bengals coming to

791
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: town here on Sunday to play the Bills. How has

792
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: the mesh between Zach Taylor and Andy Dalton Gaune. I

793
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: assume they're getting along, but how is the right kind

794
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: of quarterback for Zach Taylor's offense? Do you think they

795
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: could be brothers really. I mean that both in terms

796
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: of their age and up their personalities. They're only four

797
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: and a half years apart in age. Zach is thirty

798
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: six years old, Andy's thirty one. But they are about

799
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: as close in terms of their personality as two people

800
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: could be. They are very even keeled, never too high,

801
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: never too low, kind of guys, definitely men of faith,

802
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: strong family men, great in the community. So they hit

803
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: it off right off the bat. I think the Bengals

804
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: knew that would be the case when they hired Zach Taylor,

805
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: and that's been a real posit so far. What else

806
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: do you can you tell us about this defensive side

807
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: of the ball for the Bengals. They've got still got

808
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, Geno Atkins, They've got uh, you know, all

809
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: these really stout up up front on defense. That's really

810
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: been the strength of their teams. Are they still a

811
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: formidable weapon up there with their pass rush? Yeah. Defensive

812
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: line is definitely the strength of the defense, and it's good.

813
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that San Francisco is able to dominate as

814
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: much as it did last week because the Bengals defensive

815
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: line really can match up against just about anybody. They're deep,

816
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: they've got some star power upfront, and they've got a

817
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: second year player named Sam Hubbard. If you only watched

818
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals opener against Seattle and did not watch their

819
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: footage last week against San Francisco, you would think that

820
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: Sam Hubbard is going to be the next superstar in

821
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: the NFL. In Week one, defensive line now, he had

822
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: ten tackles, two sacks, two additional quarterback hits. You don't

823
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: have a lot of defensive lineman that get double digit

824
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: tackles in a game anymore. But he didn't put up

825
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: similar numbers last week against the forty nine ers. But

826
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: he is a good young player. Karl Lawson is a

827
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: great young pass rush here, although I think the Bills

828
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 1: are going to get to miss him this week. He

829
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: heard his hamstring last week. But they're really good up front,

830
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,280
Speaker 1: they're just not as good in the other areas. Again,

831
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: we had the Bengals third quarterback Jake Delagala, the Hamburg,

832
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: New York native, on our show yesterday. Great kid, great story.

833
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: You're a baseball guy. Did you see the Yastremsky's grandfather

834
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: and grandson that at Fenway the other day? The first

835
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: pitch Karl Throne to his grandson mike Us Tramsky. We

836
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: were kind of talking to the Dola Galla. There's a

837
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: similar thing going on here this week with ALB. B. Miller,

838
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: one of the great all time Buffalo Bills, watching his

839
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: grandson play here against the Bills. I know Dola Gala

840
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: was not likely to play with still a pergol story, right, Yeah,

841
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: that might be the best story of the Bengals training camp.

842
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: Quite honestly, nobody knew who he was when he came

843
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: in undrafted free agent out of Central Connecticut State. And

844
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals drafted a quarterback this year and the fourth

845
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: rob Ryan Finley, so he got a lot of attention

846
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: during training camp. And there's Jake Dola Gala not even

847
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: getting any reps in practice. I mean he was early

848
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: in camp. Here's the fourth quarterback, and those guys don't

849
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: get any opportunities, particularly in eleven on eleven Drills didn't

850
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: play in the first two preseason games, but he got

851
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: in against the Giants in their third preseason game and

852
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: was tremendous, and then played the entire fourth preseason game

853
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: and he was great in that and had created a

854
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: real dilemma for the Bengals because they assumed all along,

855
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: all right, this guy will be our practice squad quarterback.

856
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: We'll develop him during the course of the year and

857
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: then see what we've got down the road. He played

858
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: so well in those final two preseason games that they said,

859
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: you know what, we cannot expose him to waivers at

860
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: this point. He looks that good. So he winds up

861
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster, and good for him

862
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: because it's a great story. One of the other things

863
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Dan was the little

864
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of players like you know, Preston Brown,

865
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: Jake Dolagala from Buffalo, Corty Glenn, John Miller who were

866
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. We want to ask you about a Buffalo

867
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: Bill who used to be a Cincinnati binger, Tyler Croft.

868
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: We'll kind of tight end, as he's had trouble staying healthy,

869
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: no question about it, But what kind of guy is

870
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: he once he does get on the field. He's a

871
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: good player and kind of a throwback type tight end,

872
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: and that he can both block and catch. It seems

873
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: like so many tight ends nowadays. You're good at one

874
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: or you're good at the other. But you're not good

875
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: at boats. The exceptions are the guys that stand out,

876
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: and he's good at both. I don't know that he's

877
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: great ed either, but he's very solid at both. He

878
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: had seven touchdown catches for the Bengals two years ago,

879
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: the last time he was healthy, and they would have

880
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: loved to have kept him, but he was drafted the

881
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: same year as the Bengals drafted cj Uzama. CJ had

882
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: a great year last year when Tyler Croft was hurt

883
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: and Tyler Eiffort was hurt, so they felt like they

884
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: had to hold on to cj Uzama. They brought back

885
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffort hoping that he could stay healthy this year,

886
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: and there just wasn't enough money to bring back all three.

887
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: So that worked out well for the Bills because if

888
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, he is a good player. It's

889
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: I would think that these teams have played so much

890
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: in recent years, both regular and preseason. You and the

891
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: Bengals will be comfortable here right, even though it's Buffalo's

892
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: home opener. You know what you're in for here, right,

893
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: I'll be very comfortable. I love its place. I saw

894
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: an NFL game Week seven, nineteen seventy three, Monday Night

895
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: against Kansas City. Ojay went over a thousand yards. It's

896
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: one of the highlights of my childhood, that Buffalo's first

897
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: Monday Night game. Right, Buffalo's first Monday nights, first Monday

898
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: night game. I remember vividly. My dad let me and

899
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: my brothers sleep on the way home to Jamestown after

900
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: the game so that we could go to school the

901
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: next day. But I couldn't sleep. I just saw my

902
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: first game at then Rich Stadium, the Jews hitting a

903
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: thousand and week seven of a fourteen game schedule. That

904
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: was a very memorable night for me. So this is

905
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: always fun for me to come back home and do

906
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: a game. No matter what they call the stadium, in

907
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: my mind, it's always Rich. But it'll be a lot

908
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: of fun for me on Sunday. Thanks for coming on

909
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: with us, Dan, my pleasure, Thanks for having me on.

910
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Dan. Dan Horde, Jamestown native, the play by play

911
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: voice of the Cincinnati Bengals, joining us on the line

925
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: has not practiced at all this week. He is out.

926
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: McDermot says it looks like Trey White will be good

927
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: to go. White limited in practices this week with a

928
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 1: neck issue. Tyler Croft, the tight end who got into

929
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: full practice on Wednesday, injured an ankle yesterday. He will

930
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: not play Sunday, but McDermot says things are trending in

931
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 1: the right direction, not as serious as they first thought.

932
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: So there you go. I don't know. I'm telling you

933
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: they'll miss the motor Man. They will miss him, right,

934
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: they will miss He's a dynamic, spark plug type player.

935
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: Which does Yelden have that? We'll find out one we'll

936
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: see they We have trumpeted the fact that this is

937
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: a team that's got some depth. But when you lose

938
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: a guy like you know, Devin Singletary, who you know,

939
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: was a rookie coming, we didn't know he's gonna be

940
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: this good. Well, who's behind you only got two guys, yea,

941
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: and one of them was carrying the ball a lot anyway,

942
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: So I think he leaves a big void. T J.

943
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: Yelden has played a lot of downs in the National

944
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: Football League. It's not gonna be too big for him.

945
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: But there's no doubt he's got to be in the

946
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: mix now, right yeah, because he's oh yeah, he'll play.

947
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't have any carries so far this year. He

948
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: may get ten this game or twenty even I who

949
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: knows how this is gonna go. You know, now he's

950
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna be in the factor, in the in the game

951
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: plan and away they go. All right, let's get to

952
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: the phone calls. We want to know from you what

953
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: you think about this matchup and which matchup most intrigued

954
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: you Bills versus Cincinnati. Let's get to a couple of

955
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: calls here. We'll go Alan Clarence, Hello, all, welcome to

956
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: the show. Hey guys, how you doing okay? Good? Um,

957
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to say that we have like a big

958
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: boy offense from once. Obviously we couldn't do the last

959
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: couple of years because of our offensive line. But I

960
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: hope Brian Dable opens up the playbook, especially with Singletary

961
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: being out that uh, you know, we have an offense

962
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: that looks like it's run by a Sean Payton or

963
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: Sean McVay. At least we have a Sean so that

964
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: o and uh, you know, use the jet sweets more

965
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: and open up the playbook for Isaiah McKenzie, get him

966
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: more involved, obviously without being single, without Singletary being there,

967
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: And uh, have you seen the first two games? What

968
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: do you think it looks? What do you think that

969
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: would be different than what we've seen the first two games?

970
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. Go ahead, um, with

971
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: out single Singletary in the backfield, I think you know,

972
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: some flea flickers, some you know, it's like that. I

973
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: just really hope he opens it up more more than

974
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: one flea flicker. You're gonna build your offensive attack around

975
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: the I get you out. I don't get it. You're

976
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: talking about big plays. You're talking about kind of trick plays.

977
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: Just kind of open up, get creative. You want to

978
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: see some things that we haven't seen. You don't want

979
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: to see an off tackle run. You want to see

980
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: ye good productive off tackle run. I'd love to see that.

981
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: I would. I get you. I'm just as it's Al's call.

982
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:25,399
Speaker 1: He You're right, I got it with Alkins say, I'm

983
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: I would love to see at the end of the game,

984
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: Josh getting up around three hundred yards passing. I still

985
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: don't want to see him do that. I still don't

986
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: want to see him turn the football over. I want

987
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: to see him do what it takes to win. Uh

988
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: and I want to see him control it the way

989
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: they did in the Giants came Now, certainly there was

990
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: a moment there in the third quarter when the Giants

991
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: got to within a touchdown. It was like, but they

992
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: answered with a touchdown of their own, went back up

993
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: to two touchdown lead, and they just went into lockdown mode.

994
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, they didn't need to do anything special or

995
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: you know, out of the ordinary or start to have

996
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: to dip into this creative box that we all think

997
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: or hope or want to see. They just didn't have

998
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: to do it in the first two games. Now, the

999
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: first game they did, and they came out and went

1000
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: put two eighty yard touchdown drives together. They've been able

1001
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: to do that in both games. I think they felt

1002
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,919
Speaker 1: like they were in really control of those games. I'd

1003
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: like to, you know, I'd like to see that continue

1004
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: because this looks like a team that was really better

1005
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: than both their first two opponents and after the games over.

1006
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 1: Certainly we had some moments of angst in the Jet

1007
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: game when they weren't, but they know it was because

1008
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: of the Bills turning it over all those times in

1009
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: the first half. Other than that they moved the football,

1010
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: they were doing really well. I mean, the defense obviously

1011
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 1: played great in both those games, so it really felt

1012
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: like a good football team was kind of just grinding

1013
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: it out. And I get it. People want to see

1014
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: him not grind out. They want to see him go

1015
00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: out there and just you know, throw it down the field. Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.

1016
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: Score thirty five points and two and a half quarters

1017
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: and everybody goes home Coast home, you know, but this

1018
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: is a different kind of team than that I think,

1019
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: and that's what I think. I would love to see

1020
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: it just continue. I don't I don't care if they

1021
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: win by one or one hundred. I want to see him.

1022
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: I want to feel like this is a team that's

1023
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: It was never in doubt whether they win by three

1024
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: points or where they win by twenty, there was just

1025
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: never in doubt. Hey, we got great co sal stay

1026

1033
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: not play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. That word from

1034
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott. Third round pick has at hamstring

1035
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: injury that he suffered late in the game at New

1036
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: York Lass Week and he will not play this week.

1037
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: That leaves the Bills with a running back tandem and

1038
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: Frank Gore and t j Yelden tarn Johnson Nickel corner

1039

1040
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: a hamstring. McDermott says, turnevious. Why who had a little

1041
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: bit of a neck issue should be good to go.

1042
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft now expected to play Sunday, but the Bill

1043

00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: that he had an ankle injury yesterday and his second

1045
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: full day of practice, his ankle injury not as serious

1046
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: as they first thought. Bill's Bengals one o'clock Sunday. I've

1047

1051
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars against Tennessee Titans. It was all

1052
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: on Gardner Minshew. He delivered with two touchdown passes and

1053
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,680

1054
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville by a score of twenty to seven. If the

1055
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 1: Jaguars convinced Jalen Ramsey to stay now his trade request

1056
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: went public this week. They're going to decide, it would

1057
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 1: seem today. Will the franchise that made will the franchise

1058
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: make an offer he can't refuse, or will somebody else

1059
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: try to come in and sweep in and get Jalen Ramsey.

1060
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: The Jags expected to decide today. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady

1061

Speaker 1: watched the first half of last night's Tennessee Jacksonville game

1062
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: and turned it off. He said ridiculous penalties were the reason.

1063
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: Fifteen penalties in the first half called by referee Shawn

1064

Speaker 1: deep front Deshaun Jackson's gonna miss Sunday's game against Detroit.

1066

00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: here in our one Buffalo studio, Here in our Seneca

1075
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: studio in your park, getting set for our number two

1076
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: Bills and Bengals coming up. We got just the guy

1077
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: to talk about it too. He's executive producer and analyst

1078
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: of NFL Matchup on ESPN. He's also a long time

1079
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: senior producer at NFL Films. He's our regular guest on

1080
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: Fridays at one pm. Greg Cosel joined us. Good afternoon, Greg,

1081
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: Thanks coming on, Murph, Steve. How you guys doing doing good,

1082
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: doing really good team here that's playing pretty well. We

1083
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: got a two A team, Greg, But the Bills have

1084
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: yet to play a team who's actually won a game.

1085
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: And how But but the offense is a little better.

1086
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: Do you think the Bills offense has improved because of

1087
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: the scheme that they're running or because of the people

1088
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: that are running it? What do you base this improvement

1089
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: for the Bills offense on? It has gotten better, no question.

1090
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: You know it's funny. I actually think Josh Allen was

1091
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: not quite as good this week as he was week one.

1092
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: But I think he's still making more throws than he

1093
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: did a year ago, and some some very good ones.

1094
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: He missed some this week, both ones that he just

1095
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: missed with poor accuracy and one that I thought he

1096
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: missed because he just didn't process it quite properly. But

1097
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: for the most part, I think he's incrementally improving. And

1098
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: I think when all said and done, they ran the ball.

1099
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 1: They're running the ball pretty good. I mean, what's really

1100
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: interesting about their run game is how much they pull

1101
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: offensive linemen. That seems to be their their foundation of

1102
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: the run game. They pull people all the time, and

1103
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: they're very effective doing it. I can't recall if we

1104
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: talk about this with you last week, Greg, but the

1105
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: way they move those offensive linemen around it looks like

1106
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies nineteen eighties football, except that you've got three

1107
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: hundred thirty five pound guys running around like that on

1108
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Now, Yeah, they normally pull the interior

1109
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: guys that seems to be their staple, the center more

1110
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: and the two guards, depending on which side they run to.

1111
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: A lot of the runs have been to the left,

1112
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: which involves Spain, but that seems to be the foundation

1113
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: in their run game. They're very effective with it. It

1114
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: gives you that kind of pin pull concept as well,

1115
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: where you get those those down blocks and those seal

1116
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 1: blocks on the outside. And the thing that I notice

1117
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: a lot when they do run strong, which is what

1118
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: they predominantly do. They have Leef Smith in the game

1119
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: because he's essentially another tackle, so it's they run to

1120
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: his side and they're very effective doing so. How many

1121
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: teams have you seen, I know they're not many, but

1122
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: with the Bills, particularly with a young quarterback and that

1123
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: all the question marks coming into to the season, they've had.

1124
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: Their touchdowns have almost all come from like seventy five

1125
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: eighty yard drives that have gone all the way down

1126
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: the field. I think perhaps that's the most impressive thing

1127
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: we've seen. No, I agree, because you don't normally see

1128
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: a ton of those in the NFL these days. But

1129
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: I think they've been running the ball with sustaining consistency,

1130
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: you know. And Josh Allen, as I said, while he's

1131
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: he's still growing and learning and missed some throws, is

1132
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: making some critical throws and you know, I think they've

1133
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:56,879
Speaker 1: been able to do that. You know, I think their

1134
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: old line has been solid. It's an improving group, and

1135
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: I I think it'll get better. I'm curious about the

1136
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: right tackle position, what their thought processes there are they rotating?

1137
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: You know, is that going to is that a rotation

1138
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: just based on the players. I will answer the best

1139
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: I can. I know that ty and Secki has just

1140
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: kind of a sore knee that they want to They

1141
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: don't want to put the whole load on him. And

1142
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: I do think there's there's an effort being made to

1143
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: get some reps for Cody Ford. So that's why you

1144
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: see him out there once in a while too. Yeah, no,

1145
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: because I mean obviously that that's what's been happening, and uh,

1146
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: you know, it's been pretty effective. Great. Cosell joins us.

1147
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: He is executive producer analysts NFL Matchup on ESPN. You

1148
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: can see it tomorrow seven am on ESPN two. You

1149
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: can see it's Sunday three am and six thirty am

1150
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: on the Big ESPN. So let's match up with the Bengals. Greg,

1151
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: First of all, can the Bills. You can't overlook the Bengals,

1152
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: But if the Bills play the way they're capable, they

1153
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 1: should be able to beat this Cincinnati team. No. Well,

1154
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals offense has been pretty good, um, and I

1155
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,919
Speaker 1: think they do present some issues. I guess aj Green

1156
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: is not quite ready to go yet, but but the Bill.

1157
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: The Bengals offense does present some issues in their approach.

1158
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: Because they have Zach Taylor, who came from the Rams,

1159
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: you still see a lot of reduced splits. They certainly

1160
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: have John Ross who can get over the top. You know,

1161
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: I think when you watch this offense, you probably think

1162
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: about the old line as a potential area that you

1163
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: can attack and ideally do so with some movement with

1164
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: your defensive line. And the Bills have shown a pretty

1165
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: good rotational D line. I mean, they play seven or

1166
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: eight guys and it seems like they almost have two

1167
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: separate and distinct units that they play. But you know,

1168
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: the thing about Sean McDermot and Leslie Frasier, which they

1169
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: do so so well, is they they do coverage disguise.

1170
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: They're not that multiple in their coverages, but what they

1171
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: often show before the ball is snapped is not what

1172
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: it turns out to be. Now, Andy Dalton is a veteran,

1173
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: so theoretically you should be able to decipher that. But

1174
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: I think the receiving corps it's they have to deciphered

1175
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, just going back, you mentioned the Bengals play,

1176
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: I think the rams are too reduced splits. Can you

1177
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: talk about what that means and what that does for

1178
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: an offense. Well, what reduced splits means is that the

1179
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers instead of lining up wide, they line up

1180
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: closer to the formation, so they're tighter to the formation.

1181
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things that that can do. Number One,

1182
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: it can help the run game because those receivers are

1183
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: in position to block. And number two, it gives a

1184
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: lot of those receivers what we call two way goes

1185
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: because they are not close to the sideline. Number Three,

1186
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: you don't often see teams press receivers that are tighter

1187
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: to the formation just because there's not it's tougher to

1188
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: do that, so you can get some advantages from that.

1189
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: You can work the middle of the field very effectively

1190
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: from that position. Splits are critical with wide receivers because

1191
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: based on splits, very often teams understand what an offense

1192
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: is trying to do. So when you have these reduced splits,

1193
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: you can work a little more to the entire field.

1194
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: So it's and you create leverage. You create leverage for

1195
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: wide receivers because corners tend to play outside of them.

1196
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about one specific player on

1197
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. We've just gotten a word late here.

1198
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: I guess that he probably will not play, and that's

1199
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. Yeah, a little bit of a question mark

1200
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: coming into the season, but he has gotten more than

1201
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: his share of snaps as a rookie running back. What

1202
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: have you seen with his game? And even though the

1203
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: Bills won't have him this year or this game going forward,

1204
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: we would like to know what your thoughts are about him.

1205
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. Yeah, and he's been the beneficiary of this

1206
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: blocking scheme where they pulled the two linemen and you know,

1207
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: sort of the it's almost a form of outside zone

1208
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: pin poll. I'm sure every team might call it something different,

1209
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: but he's he's been very good with that. It creates

1210
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: room for him to generate some momentum. I think he's

1211
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: a momentum runner, and they blocked that extremely well on

1212
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: the edge, and he's really shown a lot with those

1213
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: kinds of runs. He's had about three or four of

1214
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: them in the first two weeks that have gained ten

1215
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: plus yards, maybe even four or five but he's he's

1216
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: shown that ability to get out on the perimeter, which

1217
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: is not what Frank Gore is going to do. But

1218
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: Frank Gore this past week still showed the ability to

1219
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: work hard inside and gain those tough yards. Greg Money

1220
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: broadcast partner on Sundays. Eric Wood, former offensive lineman, He

1221
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: loves the way Singletary sets up his offensive line. He

1222
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: kind of plays off of the way they're going. Can

1223
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: you talk about that? Have you seen that? Well? I

1224
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: think what he's probably talking about is there's a patience

1225
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: to Singletary because a lot of rookie running backs in

1226
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 1: the NFL and everything is faster, and they just take

1227
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: the snap and they go. And I think, you know,

1228
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: it's that old phrase, which I'm sure Eric Wood is

1229
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: very familiar with. It's not speed to the hole, AT's

1230
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: speed through the hole. And I think Singletary has shown

1231
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of patience, a little bit of understanding

1232
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: how blocks work, and on those perimeter runs, a lot

1233
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: of patients is built into those runs because he starts,

1234
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: he takes the ball, particularly on the tosses, he's already

1235
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: seven eight yards behind the line of scrimmage, so it's

1236
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: it's hard not to run with some form of patients

1237
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: on those kinds of runs. Well, we've also been watching

1238
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: that Cincinnati offense and you've said to yourself, they haven't.

1239
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: They've been playing pretty well. One of the reasons is

1240
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: John Ross is his emergence. He's gotten healthy over the

1241
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: last his first two years of his career, it was

1242
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: not that healthy. Now he seems to be one hundred percent.

1243
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: Plus AJ Green is off the field. They needed somebody

1244
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: and he stepped up. How do you see the matchup

1245
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: between John Ross and the Bills secondary, particularly Tradavious White

1246
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: taking place. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if that's

1247
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: what the Bills decide to do, if they decide to

1248
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: match White up on Ross, because last year they started

1249
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: to use White as a matchup corner. Ross obviously has

1250
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: great speed. He can catch the short ball slant, which

1251
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: I think he did this past week, and he can

1252
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: get he can score, so I think ultimately you know

1253
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: the thing you need to do with him. You can't

1254
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: let him get over the top, and if he catches

1255
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: short passes, you've obviously got to tackle him. But he's

1256
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: he's one of those explosive guys that can score from

1257
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: anywhere on the field. He will drop some, but he

1258
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: gives you that dimension which every team wants to have.

1259
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: Question for you also about the Cincinnati offense, and that's

1260
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: the problems they have in the running game. Is it

1261
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: is there something wrong with Mixon that you see or

1262
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: is it just an offensive line issue. I don't think

1263
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: they're all line is particularly good. To be honest with you,

1264
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: I think Mixon is a very talented back. He has

1265
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: not had a lot of room to run. You know,

1266
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: they've also thrown the ball an awful lot in the

1267
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: two games a league the first week, I know Dalton

1268
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: dropped back more than fifty times. This past week against

1269
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, they got behind and they started

1270
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: to throw the ball a lot. But I think Mixon

1271
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: has not had much room at all if their offensive line,

1272
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: and it does continue. It seems that from the early

1273
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: stage of this week and how they're preparing, it looks

1274
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: like their offensive line is continuing to get nicked up

1275
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: and they've got backups playing. How do you see them

1276
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: stacking up against a Bill's defensive unit that we think

1277
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: is pretty good. Yeah, And as I said, they've got

1278
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: a nice rotation, almost two units that play, and I

1279
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: think it's pretty good against the run. I think they're

1280
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: better against the run than they are rushing the quarterback,

1281
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: So you know, I would think that, Look, they just

1282
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: played Barkley, and obviously Barkley is as special as they come,

1283
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: and he had some nice runs and he's got more

1284
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: juice than Mixing, although Mixing is good. But I also

1285
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: think that the Giants old line is better than the

1286
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: Bengals whole line. So well, that's a key matchup in

1287
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: this game because to me, again, I don't know how

1288
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: Zach Keyler is going to look at his game plan,

1289
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: but my guess is they don't want to go into

1290
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo with the thought that Andy Dalton's going to drop

1291
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: back forty five plus times and the flipping around to

1292
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: the other side for a second. Here should the Bills.

1293
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure they know all about you know, Carlos Dunlap

1294
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: and Gino Etkins. Are those two still capable of creating

1295
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: problems up front for the Buffalo offense? For sure? For sure?

1296
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: But you know, one nice thing I think about the

1297
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: way the Bills have been playing is I think they've

1298
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: been pretty balanced. You know, I don't think they're asking

1299
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to go out there and you know, and

1300
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: just throw the ball. I think that, you know, what

1301
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I liked was the way they used Frank Gore last

1302
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: week because Gore is a sustaining back. He's still that

1303
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: kind of back and he can put you in those,

1304
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, stay ahead of the sticks kind of situations.

1305
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, can Carlos Dunno. Geno Atkins is really he's

1306
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: really good, So I mean you have to be careful

1307
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: with him depending on the situation. He can beat guards

1308
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: one on one, so you do have to be careful

1309
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: with him. I gotta ask you about if Devin Singletary

1310
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: is out of the game. T J. Yelden kind of

1311
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: still a question mark for Buffalo Bills fans. We saw

1312
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: him play for Jacksonville a little bit, but even then

1313
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: he was a backup guy. And Frank Gore, the two

1314
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: of those guys are probably going to carry the load

1315
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: for the Bills running game. What do you see in

1316
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: that combination with Frank Gore and t J. Yeldon. I

1317
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: think it's solid. I think Gore will still get the

1318
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: bulk of the carries as he did this past week,

1319
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: and I think Yelden will be the compliment. Yelden's always

1320
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: been a good receiver, particularly in the screen game. I

1321
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: would imagine you'll see some of that this week. And

1322
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: Yelden certainly can carry five, six, seven, eight times if

1323
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: need be. Obviously, I don't think you're gonna see Gore

1324
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: carry twenty five times. But I believe last week and

1325
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: not Gore had seventeen carries, if I'm not mistaken, and

1326
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: obviously carried a number of those carries came towards the

1327
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 1: end when they were essentially running the clock out. But

1328
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: I think Gore would still be the so called workhorse,

1329
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 1: and that Yelden would be the compliment. And Yelden will

1330
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: play in the in the second and long and third

1331
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: and long situations, and and he's he can be an

1332
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: effective receiver. Greg, He'll sell our guests. He's executive producer

1333
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: analyst for NFL Matchup on ESPN. Let's move out with

1334
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: you a little bit, Greg. Why do I get the

1335
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: feeling that we're this close to a Star is born

1336
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: moment for Gardner? Minshew, Right, We're this close to it.

1337
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: He's almost there. Well, mur murf, come, we'd only play

1338
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: you know a couple of games here? I mean, I

1339
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: think the kids boys composed. He's clearly accurate. Um, you know,

1340
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: he seems to have a very good feel for the

1341
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: passing game. Uh. You know, but I think before we

1342
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: annoint him, I think we have to, you know, let

1343
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: him play a few more games. One or two annoyed

1344
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: him now and I just think he's been interesting. He's much.

1345
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, here's a joke when he got the play

1346
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: and now he's like, oh, maybe right with this guy? Maybe? No,

1347
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean he was he was a player when I

1348
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: watched at Washington State. You know, it's funny. I went

1349
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: back and looked at my notes and I actually made

1350
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: a lot of notes that reflect the way he's playing now. Um,

1351
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's under he's under sixth one, which he's

1352
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: not a physically imposing guy. But he's got a very

1353
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: good feel for where the ball goes, you know, so

1354
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: far from what I've seen. I haven't watched last night's

1355
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: tape yet, but it seems to me he knows where

1356
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: to go with the ball. That that stood out in

1357
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 1: the first two games which I did watch on tape.

1358
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: And he's pretty consistently accurate. I mean, he's he's an

1359
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: easy throw. He doesn't have a big arm, but he's

1360
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: an easy thrower, and his ball placement's been really good.

1361
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: You sound like you like him more than I do.

1362
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: Greg I do like him so far. I'm not ready

1363
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: to say that he's great, but I like what I say.

1364
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: What are the Titans gonna do with Marcus mar Yoda?

1365
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean they seem to be moving backwards almost Yeah. Yeah,

1366
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: Mariota is one of those guys. He's He's not an

1367
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: overly gifted thrower. Troy Aikman spoke about this last night,

1368
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: and I've been I've noticed this all through the years.

1369
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: He's a very deliberate player. There's not a lot of

1370
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: urgency to what he does. So and the thing is is,

1371
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: he got sacked nine times last night, and it always

1372
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: seems I'm not saying they're all on him. Like I said,

1373
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the tape, and there were a number

1374
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: I remember from watching the game where he had no

1375
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 1: chance whatsoever. But he is not There's no urgency to

1376
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: his movement. And even though he's a very good athlete,

1377
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: there's a difference between being a really good athlete and

1378
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: being a quarterback athlete. He does he's not very good

1379
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: with pocket movement within the confines of the pocket, so

1380
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 1: that and that there's a lot of guys who are

1381
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: can avoid sacks by moving within the pocket, and Mariota

1382
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: that's not a strength of his game. Greg Eli manning

1383
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: out and it's a Daniel Jones tie. Now for the

1384
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: New York Giants, what can the Giants expect from him

1385
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: in his first NFL start? Boy, that's hard to know,

1386
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: only because the Giant defense has been so poor and

1387
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: they've fallen behind in games. I mean, look, I'm not

1388
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: saying anything anyone else has not been saying since he

1389
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: was announced. That you have sae Quon Barkley and you

1390
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: want to give him the ball, and you do. But

1391
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: on the other hand, their defense, which has really I mean,

1392
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: they've been fundamentally poor the first two games. So you know,

1393
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: in an ideal world, the game can be close. They

1394
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: play the Bucks and you can stay with Barkley and

1395
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: you can let Jones work off that, and you know

1396
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: we'll go from there. But I mean, I think when

1397
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: all said and done, you know, you'll see a lot

1398
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: of RPO. You'll see what he did in college, a

1399
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: lot of you'll put him in the gun. You'll see RPOs.

1400
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: You'll see things that get him comfortable early in the game.

1401
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: One of the other things I want to ask you

1402
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: about was a matchup that everybody's kind of watching, and

1403
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: that's Patrick Mahomes against Lamar Jackson too, of the most

1404
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: prolific offenses in the league. Going again, itst to each

1405
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: other the week through the season. How do you think

1406
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: it's going to turn out? Well, you know, these teams

1407
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: played the last year Week fourteen, and the Ravens really

1408
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: did an excellent job on defense, just as they did

1409
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: last week against Kyler Murray with all their multiple fronts.

1410
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: They are different coverages. They show you a lot Mahomes

1411
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: through the ball last year in that game over fifty times.

1412
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 1: They just got over twenty points late in the fourth quarter.

1413
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: So the Ravens really present some issues with their ability

1414
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: to cover as well. So we'll see how it plays out.

1415
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I actually thought the Raiders had a pretty

1416
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: good plan last week and they just made some assignment

1417
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: mistakes that resulted in big play touchdowns. Lamar Jackson has

1418
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 1: shown the ability through two weeks to throw the ball well,

1419
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: He's made some good throws. They do a really nice

1420
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: job with scheme to define a lot of throws where

1421
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: receivers are open based on what they can do schematically,

1422
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 1: and we'll see if it continues. But there's no question

1423
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson has thrown the ball well. Through two weeks. Hey, Greg,

1424
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: the Great Bay Packers have scored thirty one points total

1425
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: in their first couple of games. They're two and all, Yeah,

1426
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: are they doing it with mirrors? What are they doing

1427
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: up there? Well, you know, it's funny because it's Aaron Rodgers,

1428
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 1: that's all people want to talk about. Mike Petton to me,

1429
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 1: has done an unbelievably good job. I mean, Mike Petton

1430
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: with that defense. You know, what he likes to do

1431
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: is to play with five and six defensive backs. Now,

1432
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 1: this past week against Minnesota, he played a lot of

1433
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: bass because Minnesota lined up with a fullback and or

1434
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: two tight ends, so he's played a lot of bass.

1435
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: But their defense has really really played well. And you know,

1436
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: I think that's why they brought Mike Petton in because

1437
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: Mala Floor being a young head coach, he's not going

1438
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: to deal with the defense at all. So, you know,

1439
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: while Aaron Rodgers is the guy everyone wants to talk about,

1440
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: I think right now their defense has really been a

1441
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: foundation of their first two wins. You guys get around

1442
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: to featuring a Bills game yet on NFL matchup? Are

1443
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: we so weak? He will? We? You know, we we

1444
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: thought about it and we will next week one because

1445
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: they played the Patriots, So the Bills Patriots will be

1446
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: in the show next week for I can promise you that. Okay,

1447
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: all right, all right, we can we can live with

1448

1492
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: of injury issues, including for the former Cincinnati Bengal Tyler Croft,

1493
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: who banged up his ankle in practice on yesterday. Of course,

1494
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: he was a free agent signing for the Bills who

1495
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: got hurt Week one of the OTAs Tyler Croft not

1496
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: able to get ready to play until this week and

1497
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: then he got hurt two days in. Sean McDermott talked

1498
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: to the media about a half hour ago as practice

1499
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: wound up. Here's what he had to say about Croft

1500
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: and the other Buffalo injuries. Yeah, he's been strong. He's

1501
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 1: supported by a great family and a strong team. And

1502
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, when he went down, like I said yesterday,

1503
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: everyone and everyone felt for him because I know how

1504
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: hard he he'd worked and what a great teammate he is,

1505
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 1: and we'll be anxious to get him back. Does Devin

1506
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,559
Speaker 1: Moore of a so earlier in the season you'd rather

1507
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: be air on the side of caution with him as

1508
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,600
Speaker 1: opposed to pushing it out there? Yeah, no, I just

1509
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: I'll just leave it. Like I said, it's he's gonna

1510
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 1: be out this game. We'll see what happens. Uh as

1511
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: he goes through the rehab this weekend, Andrea, Uh, look

1512
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: like he came through the week pretty well. Where where

1513
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: is Yeah, he'll be ready to go. It looks good,

1514
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: ready to go. What do you think that could add

1515
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 1: to have that element that you guys were, you know,

1516
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,680
Speaker 1: obviously invested a good amount of money to want to

1517
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: bring that here. What do you think that can happen

1518
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 1: this week? Yeah? I thought he did a good I

1519
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:27,879
Speaker 1: thought Micael did a good job, you know, in Andrea's absence,

1520
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 1: as did Isaiah Um. So you know, it's nice to

1521
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: have a guy that's that's done, a veteran player with

1522
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: that we trust and um, and so it's I know

1523
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: he's been anxious kind of um, just anxious to get

1524
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: out there and uh and help the team, which is

1525
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: which is a good good approach is buried the lead.

1526
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts, good to go. I think that's significant, don't

1527
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: you return specialist? Yes? I do, because yes I do,

1528
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:54,719
Speaker 1: because they're gonna have to do something with Ojaia McKenzie

1529
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: or Robert Foster m Isaiah McKenzie's been active and playing

1530
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: and or they're gonna have to keep those guys active.

1531
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: And Andre Roberts just comes in and plugs right into

1532
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary spot and they go with six wideouts. That's big. Yeah.

1533
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: And Andre Roberts is a Pro Bowl player, Pro Bowl

1534
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: caliber player on the return game, so I think too,

1535
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 1: you got Heath Farwell, who is all of a sudden

1536
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: getting getting a playmaker plugged into his into his spot.

1537
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: So he's got to be thinking something special too. So

1538
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: then the guys up front, and I think the guys

1539
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: on the return game, the guys who are blocking on

1540
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: kickoff return, the guys on punt return, all those guys

1541
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: are going to get a little bit of juice from

1542
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: having Andre Roberts back there and knowing what he can

1543
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 1: do with the football in his hand. So yeah, that's

1544
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: that's a plus as well. One of the top return

1545
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 1: specialists last year in the NFL hasn't played this year,

1546
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: had the quad muscle injury week one going into the

1547
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: regular season opener. But good to go, good to go,

1548
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:59,719
Speaker 1: according to Sean McDermot Andre robertson, look, yeah, we celebrate

1549
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: those long scoring drives last week. Seventy five yards, seventy yards,

1550
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 1: ninety eight yards. That's great. It'd also be great to

1551
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: get a look at a couple of forty five yard

1552
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: fields and thirty eight yard drives, right, And that's what

1553
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: the returns patch to this can do for you when

1554
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: the offense walks onto the field and field goal range already. Yeah,

1555
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of nice. Yeah, it would be at plus.

1556
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: This is an offense, it kind of goes on the

1557
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,759
Speaker 1: wayside because it's, like we say, it's only two games.

1558
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills are tied for the National Football League

1559
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: lead in red zone efficiency. Every time this season they

1560
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 1: have gotten in the red zone, they've come away with

1561
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown. They have not had to settle for a

1562
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,640
Speaker 1: field goal yet. That's big and I don't know if

1563
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: they're I don't know if it's this function of being

1564
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: two games and it's the Jets Giants, or if they're

1565
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: good or I think it's probably they're at least a

1566
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: little better than they were a year ago. In the

1567
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 1: red zone. Josh Allen gives him a little added juice

1568
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: down there because he can just put it under his

1569
01:15:58,120 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: arm and run into the corner of the end zone.

1570
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: The same corner of the end Zoe two weeks in

1571
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 1: a row, you know, in the meadowlands. But they're better

1572
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: than down there, and you give them a short field

1573
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 1: or two. Yeah, that changes things great. What do you

1574
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 1: think match up? You're looking forward? Give us a call.

1575
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Mo on the line in Cheektowaga. Hello, Mogo ahead Murf.

1576
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 1: First of all, congratulations on your inc Thank you, mouh.

1577
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 1: Just want your opinion on I'm seeing these kickoffs are

1578
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: going into the end zone. I would they ever gonna

1579
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 1: do it wait with that, but it's just a waste

1580
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: of time. I don't think they're gonna do it with that.

1581
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: Steve was on the initial NFL panel that meant to

1582
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: discuss I think that I do say this, Stephen, you

1583
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: saw it last year. As the season moves along and

1584
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: it gets colder and the ball gets firmer and the

1585
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 1: windstart blowing, that happens less often. And I think the

1586
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:49,560
Speaker 1: league's probably happy with what they've got going on on

1587
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: kickoffs right now. Yeah, they like it the way it is,

1588
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: I think because like murf said, last year, all of

1589
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: a sudden, it went from zero kickoff returns on opening

1590
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: day or whatever. I'm exaggerating, but like nine, like you said,

1591
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: move of those things are going in the end zone

1592
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: down to you know, maybe it's a coin flip as

1593
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: to whether that thing goes into the end zone. And

1594
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: now you're it becomes a factor in games that are

1595
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,599
Speaker 1: more meaningful because there's nothing to you can't recover from them.

1596
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: Next week you lose, this week, you go home for

1597
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: the season. You know, it's more of those crucial games.

1598
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,839
Speaker 1: So when the crucial games come around, you've got teams

1599
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 1: that had to stay sharp in that area of the

1600
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: game or it's going to cost them late in the season.

1601
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 1: So I think the league likes right where it is

1602
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 1: and let the conditions of the stadium dictate as to

1603
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: whether you're gonna win or lose with something you haven't

1604
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: been able to do all season at the end of

1605
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 1: the year, and I think it came out Super Bowl

1606
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 1: week when you're there, And I cannot cite the numbers,

1607
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: but the league produced evidence that showed fewer injuries on

1608
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: kickoff plays, right, and that's what they were going. It

1609
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 1: was like it was significant. Yeah, concussions were like almost

1610
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, obliterated for a large part of the season.

1611
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 1: Now there's still a couple of them on kickoff coverage,

1612
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,680
Speaker 1: but it was completely different than it had been in

1613
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: the past. Us that we're sustained. Yeah, it does make

1614
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: a difference. Matchup you like Sunday for the Bills. Jim

1615
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: on the line from Rochester. Hello, Jim, you're you're up next?

1616
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:14,679
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Hello guys, Uh, we watched the last game

1617
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 1: the other day. I just wanted to give a quick

1618
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: shout out to Lee Smith. I know Greg talked about it,

1619
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: but he is dominating. He is. If you look at

1620
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: Singletary's run, he's not even getting touched around the edge. Yeah.

1621
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Lee Smith is pretty much dominating every place. And can

1622
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: I say this too, Jim. And I'm not an offensive

1623
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: line blocking expert in any way, but it has been

1624
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,600
Speaker 1: pointed out to me and I believe it. We we

1625
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: make We see Mitch Morris running, we see Feliciano on

1626
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,759
Speaker 1: the run, you see Spain on the run, pulling guards

1627
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: in center. But none of that works if they don't

1628
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: get the seal right at the line of scrimmage. And

1629
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: that's what Lee Smith's been doing when they were play

1630
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: and not just Lee Smith. You also saw Dawson Knox

1631
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: get out in front of Devin Singletary on his touchdown

1632
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 1: run one on one out in big out, in big space, uh,

1633
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: and stayed on the guys, sustained his block enough for

1634
01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: the touchdown. So the tight ends are doing a really

1635
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: good job. And Lee Smith, You're right they tease him

1636
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,560
Speaker 1: about being an offensive lineman wearing an eighties number. He

1637
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: has shown it that guy is a dominant blocker and

1638
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: he makes it possible for them to get around the

1639
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: edge with the pulling lineman coming out of outside of him.

1640
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: He's been great. I know this too. He's he's caught

1641
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: some passes in his day as well, so he's given

1642
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 1: them just what they need from him at this point.

1643
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: And I think behind the scenes and in interviews and

1644
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: in the media and when they've been asked about it,

1645
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott has always said Lee Smith it's about his

1646
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: leadership in the room as much as anything. And he's

1647
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 1: got two rookie tight ends that they're getting contributions from.

1648
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: And I think Lee Smith deserves some of their success

1649
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: as well. He's helping those guys get ready to play

1650
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: at the NFL level. Jim, thanks for a call. Let's

1651
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: go to the tweet sheet real quick. Here the tweet

1652
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: sheet Procuby Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the

1653
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. On Twitter. What do you have their from? Ryan?

1654
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 1: He says he went other on the Twitter poll. He goes,

1655
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: I want to see the matchup between Levi Wallace and

1656
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd. And you think about Tyler Boyd, the guy

1657
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: who caught that pass from Andy Dalton two years ago

1658
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: to put the Bills in the playoffs. Tyler Boyd is

1659
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: a guy who's always on the field, even when Aj

1660
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 1: Green's on the field. Now he's the secondary receiver to

1661
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: John Ross. Yeah, Levi Wallace has been a guy that

1662
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 1: Bills fans have come to know and kind of I

1663
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: think he's been a guy that Bills defense defensive staff

1664
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 1: has depended upon. That's gonna be a key matchup whenever

1665
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: the Bills go. Man, you can say what you want

1666
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: about whoever Tardavious White's garden, but Levi Wallace is on

1667
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: an island as well. Here's from the tweet sheet. One

1668
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: from Big Multi says, I want to see Josh Allen.

1669
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: I want Josh Allen to tighten up, go out and

1670
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,719
Speaker 1: light that scoreboard up. Get him feeling real good before

1671
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots. He is so fun to watch. I get it.

1672
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: And Big Multi, I think, probably has something in mind

1673
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 1: that a lot of Bills fans are thinking, like, hey,

1674
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:53,760
Speaker 1: this is a winnable game. Let's use this game to

1675
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: tune up for New England. Right, That's basically what Big

1676
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: Multi he is saying there. Josh, have a good game,

1677
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: so you're ready to go next week? Okay, just win

1678
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:04,640
Speaker 1: this game, right, next week's game? It's important? But how

1679
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: much measure this for me, mister tasker? How much more

1680
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: important is a Patriots game for this team than the Bengals?

1681
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: Is it all about a feel? I mean, you beat

1682
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots, you feel good? Okay? You still you know?

1683
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 1: You got the Bengals Here AFC rival a potential rival

1684
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: for a wild card spot, and afcuh you know it's

1685
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: an AFC win. I don't know if it's twice as

1686
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: important to beat the Patriots and it is to beat Cincinnati.

1687
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 1: Is it that much? No, But here's the thing. It's

1688
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: the difference, and this is the only difference. It's the

1689
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 1: difference between beating a team that's oh and three and

1690
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 1: a team that's beating that's three and oz. That's the difference.

1691
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,639
Speaker 1: The Patriots will come if if the Bills win this weekend,

1692
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: they've been beaten an O and A NO and O team,

1693
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:46,679
Speaker 1: an O and one team, and an O and two team,

1694
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: and I and then they've gotten they will have beaten.

1695
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna play a team that's three and oz, which

1696
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 1: one says more about you, you know where where? What's

1697
01:21:57,800 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 1: that say about your expectations? If you beat the three

1698
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: and oz team who's defending world champions, or you beat

1699
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: three teams who have you have to win a game

1700
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 1: at month end of the year. That's the difference. That's

1701
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 1: really the only difference because it's only one game. That's

1702
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 1: my point. It's only one game, and that's the only difference.

1703
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: Is what it tells you, and it's and that's the

1704
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 1: you can't varnish it. That's the truth. You've beating everybody

1705
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: they're putting up against you. Okay, three of them weren't

1706
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: very good, but that team, you can't say that about

1707
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 1: that team. That team's good. You beat that team and

1708
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you got. I've been kind of

1709
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: keeping track of this the Bills last week where the

1710
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: and the ESPN Power rankings they were like twenty two.

1711
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: This week they're fifteen. You beat the Patriots next year,

1712
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: next week, and this team you go four, and oh,

1713
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna have We're gonna have national media

1714
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,680
Speaker 1: intense out here. Yeah, you care about they're gonna be

1715
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: out of No. But it changes the perception, does it

1716
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 1: not because of that team? No? I don't. I don't really.

1717
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,560
Speaker 1: It's one game. It's one game. One more from the

1718
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, the matchup you're looking forward to the most

1719
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 1: builds versus Bengals. James tweets in defensive line exclamation point.

1720
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: I believe this could be a breakout game for an Oliver.

1721
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: I expect Andy Dalton to try to get rid of

1722
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 1: the football soon, but if our coverage remains sound, he

1723
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: won't have the options downfield and adding the crowd noise,

1724
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 1: and we have the recipe for the W go Buffalo.

1725
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: I do think that's the matchup defensive line against a

1726
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: It's going to be, at the very best, a patchwork

1727
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 1: offensive line for Cincinnati, right, that would be the big

1728
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 1: advantage the Bills would have in this game going in.

1729
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: I think the matchup that I like, the money's right,

1730
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: and it's the matchup where you get for the home

1731
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 1: team because when Andy Dalton's trying to call signals, he's

1732
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: not going to be able to hear, particularly if the

1733
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: game is coming down, where the crowd has a reason

1734
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 1: to get into you know what I mean, early in

1735
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: the early going. But you know, it's just it's hard

1736
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 1: on the road. It's hard. It's hard for every team,

1737
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 1: and it's multiple it's multiple times hard when you get

1738
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:59,600
Speaker 1: into building like the New Era Field where you know

1739
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: this is the crowd that knows how to affect a game,

1740
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: and yeah, it does make a difference, It will make

1741
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: a difference. We got the injury report. We'll give it

1742
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 1: to you when we come back after this break, and

1743
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:08,960

1788
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: Andrey Roberts is the best news. There's good that time

1789
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: of a year where it starts to be more and

1790
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: more important because guys are in and out of the lineup. Yeah,

1791
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: did you see any of that game last night? You

1792
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: didn't want it? Yeah, it's your thing, right, Yeah? Um,

1793
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,799
Speaker 1: do you ever get we always go around around about replay,

1794
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, about what it means to the game, and

1795
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 1: about how it's a plus or minus. You don't like it.

1796
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: Are we ever going to get to a point where

1797
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: officials aren't at least part of the story, because like

1798
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: last night, at this point, early through two weeks of

1799
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 1: the season, penalties are up holding penalties are up sixty

1800
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 1: six percent. There's Tom Brady tweeted out last night. He goes,

1801
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,839
Speaker 1: I'm turning this game off. Their officials are horrible. They're

1802
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: there are too many penalties and he had Tony Dungee,

1803
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 1: you know, chiming in about what the preseason meant, you know,

1804
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady, there you see it. I'm turning this

1805
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,879
Speaker 1: game off because I can't watch these ridiculous penalties anymore.

1806
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: And it's a Tennessee versus Jacksonville game. And then he said, yeah,

1807
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: just let us play. He says, yeah, I get it.

1808
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee also chimed in today saying, hey, listen, if

1809
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 1: these starters and these and the frontline players the Fox,

1810
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 1: and he says this, the Fox announcers seem like they're

1811
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: blaming the officials for all the penalties being called. Maybe

1812
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 1: more players need to get some full speed reps in

1813
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 1: the preseason so they don't hold, they don't false start

1814
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: and jump off sides when they have to go out

1815
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: all out during the early part of the season. Yeah,

1816
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 1: the jumping off sides and the false starts. Yeah, I

1817
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: can see that that's a discipline issue that you might,

1818
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, get with more reps in the preseason. But

1819
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy what Tony's saying about

1820
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,639
Speaker 1: being full speed rep. These guys go hard in practice. Yeah,

1821
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: And one thing that is not acknowledged by Tony Dungee

1822
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 1: is the emphasis by the league. The league set we're

1823
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna emphasize holding, and they have, as you said, a

1824
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 1: sixty six percent increase in holding calls weeks one and

1825
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:12,639
Speaker 1: two in the league, one hundred and seventy eight penalties

1826
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: for offensive holding. That's up sixty six percent from the

1827
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:19,719
Speaker 1: same two weeks last year, a sixteen percent total increase

1828
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: in total penalties from last year one and two. And

1829
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: it's not always just the holding penalties on these mundane

1830
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: running plays or whatever. It's also like the roughing the

1831
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:31,600
Speaker 1: court Jamal Adams got to find for his hit on

1832
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. You had the Chicago and Denver game that

1833
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:40,800
Speaker 1: was decided by a bad roughing the passer call where

1834
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: the offense got to stay on the field. They ended

1835
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 1: up getting the game winning kick. All of that stuff

1836
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: has or the game time kick. I can't remember exactly

1837
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: which one it was, but all this, you know, all

1838
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: the listen. If you're gonna call an okay call, it's

1839
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:58,560
Speaker 1: just call it the same all the time, and you know,

1840
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:02,640
Speaker 1: get it right. You know what I think, didn't do it.

1841
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 1: The league decides, hey, they're too much holding, let's emphasize it.

1842
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 1: And they call it a lot early in a season,

1843
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 1: and I bet that goes away. I'm guessing that. Well,

1844
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: here's what happens. The league puts out there and says, hey,

1845
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. And then they say, okay,

1846
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna let all the players are doing this because

1847
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: everybody starts to learn the same techniques. They get this stuff.

1848
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,680
Speaker 1: There are certain ways to do things. It's like in

1849
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 1: a wrestling match, if you know, if his leg goes here,

1850
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 1: you grab him here, that kind of thing. And so

1851
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: all these players and teams, the offensive linemen in particular

1852
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 1: a sharp enough to watch film and they say, well,

1853
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,439
Speaker 1: they call that, and they're not calling this, so let's

1854
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: do the one they're not calling because it's just as

1855
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 1: effective and we can get away with it. And then

1856
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: the league will just say, you know what, you can't

1857
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:44,760
Speaker 1: do that anymore. Now that's holding. Well, then everybody's like

1858
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:46,639
Speaker 1: doing what they've been trained to do or what they've

1859
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 1: been practicing doing, or even if they haven't, if they

1860
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 1: know it's wrong, they do it out of habit because

1861
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:53,680
Speaker 1: that's where they were coached for so long. So then

1862
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everybody's got to learn again that oh,

1863
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: that thing that we used to be able to do

1864
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:00,160
Speaker 1: with no problem, now they're taking away from us. It

1865
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 1: takes a while to adjust to that. And there's a

1866
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 1: little bit of that going on because the league will say,

1867
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, we don't want you to be able

1868
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: to get away with that anymore. We're gonna stop it.

1869
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 1: And it takes a while to adjust to that. That's

1870
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,360
Speaker 1: what that's where this all is coming from, in my opinion,

1871
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 1: not fun to watch you what do you think is

1872
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 1: going to happen? Murf whin And I say when not if? Okay,

1873
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 1: when you can, when you can challenge everything anytime the

1874
01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:31,680
Speaker 1: game calls non totally unwatchable, right will it doesn't look

1875
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 1: like it doesn't look like it's very enticing right at

1876
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 1: this moment, it will be all right, Hey, I'll tell

1877
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 1: you what's watchable. Lorenzo Alexander the Lowdown coming up, watchable

1878
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:42,360

1924
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,320
Speaker 1: me Go on Fridays. Hello, Down with Lorenzo Alexander. Bills

1925
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:22,560
Speaker 1: Vendoran linebacker Lorenzo Alexander joins us in studio. He is

1926
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 1: here right now. Welcome, Lorenzo. How are you. I'm doing good.

1927
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 1: How are you doing doing well? I'm doing real well, great, great, Yeah,

1928
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 1: feeling good. Good week of practice. Um, feeling fresh, you know,

1929
01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:36,640
Speaker 1: and that's extra special for me, you know, being on

1930
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:38,479
Speaker 1: my age and stuff. Just to be able to feel

1931
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:40,800
Speaker 1: fresh and feel ready to go without having any knicks

1932
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 1: or anything that I that I'm kind of doctrine right now,

1933
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 1: nursing injuries aside, and that's always a factor. But have

1934
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,600
Speaker 1: you found in the last couple of years of your extensive,

1935
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: lengthy NFL career that there's a point in the season

1936
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: where you think, as at mid season, is at twelve

1937
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 1: games in, is at four games in, do you get

1938
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 1: to a point where you're like man this is a

1939
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:00,519
Speaker 1: this is a drag, this is a long time. I

1940
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 1: think a lot of that's predicated on whether or not

1941
01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 1: you are in the hunt for the playoffs. For me,

1942
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 1: and I think that's been out through my entirety of

1943
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 1: my career. When you feel like you're playing for something

1944
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 1: at the end, it's it's it's easier to get up,

1945
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 1: even though your body so or whatnot, because you have

1946
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 1: you still have hope and you have ambitions to play

1947
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Man, if you're playing the season, you know,

1948
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 1: you may be I don't know, five and whatever and

1949
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 1: it's not looking bright, or you may be already eliminated. Um,

1950
01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:28,720
Speaker 1: those last you know, four or five weeks can't be

1951
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a drain because now you're just

1952
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 1: playing to get through the season healthy and obviously play

1953
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 1: hard and win and try to win games, but you know,

1954
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,240
Speaker 1: the ultimate goal is kind of out of the picture.

1955
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:46,679
Speaker 1: One of the things. Yeah, right, looks pretty good game,

1956
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 1: but in front of games, particularly come back last week

1957
01:34:55,360 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 1: not spectacularly. Yeah, I mean, I will feel great about it.

1958
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it is early in the season. It's

1959
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 1: hard to win in this league, and so anytime you're

1960
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:10,800
Speaker 1: able to come out with a victory, no matter who

1961
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 1: it is, you're happy. I think with that, and this

1962
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,400
Speaker 1: is kind of what the lowdown later on. You always

1963
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 1: have to keep a sense of a calmness about what

1964
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:23,080
Speaker 1: you're doing and who you are, because you want to

1965
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,680
Speaker 1: continually be able to get better throughout the season and

1966
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 1: not just get overly confident on a few early wins

1967
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 1: in the season. Larunjo Alexander with us. I noticed this

1968
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:36,680
Speaker 1: about your team, Learnto, And of course two games in

1969
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:39,080
Speaker 1: you learn a little bit more every week, but you know,

1970
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 1: come back win against the Jets and a pretty convincing

1971
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:43,479
Speaker 1: win against the Giants, and yet in your locker room

1972
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 1: after each of those wins things you're kind of business like.

1973
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 1: And you've got a younger team that might, you know,

1974
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,160
Speaker 1: be giddy. But I don't see any of that at all. No,

1975
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 1: not at all, And I think a lot of that

1976
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 1: is great messaging by Sean and what he delivers to

1977
01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 1: us every day and team meetings as far as just

1978
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 1: having that growth mindset, being process oriented, and they're not

1979
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 1: really worried about the result, because you can win games

1980
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 1: in this league and still play bad, and if you're

1981
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 1: not playing a team that's up to part that's really

1982
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 1: good and get away with some mistakes. And so he's

1983
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 1: done a great job of pointing out those things where

1984
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:13,679
Speaker 1: we haven't played up to the standard that we've set

1985
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 1: where we can continue to get better, because if you

1986
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:20,840
Speaker 1: just worry about winning games, sometimes those details and fundamentals

1987
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: that end up costing you some games where you play

1988
01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 1: against a really good team can come back to haunt you.

1989
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 1: So I think he's done a great job, and then

1990
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:30,439
Speaker 1: the leadership has backed that up with the way we practice,

1991
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 1: the way we are still paying attention to detail and

1992
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 1: meetings from our veteran leadership. I asked this question in

1993
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 1: the locker room Sunday may have asked you. I asked

1994
01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:39,960
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips on our show Final Time. I'm going to

1995
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 1: answer this question. I promise Giants goes seventy five yards.

1996
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:47,160
Speaker 1: Barkley gets fifty five yards in that first series, and

1997
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 1: then you had him shut down after that. Didn't anything

1998
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:52,640
Speaker 1: changed eventually? Anything? Yeah? Yeah, we changed a little bit.

1999
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:53,800
Speaker 1: And I think that was one of my things I

2000
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 1: said about the first week in the Jets game mover forward.

2001
01:36:56,160 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 1: You know, obviously players want to continue to get better

2002
01:36:58,080 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 1: every week, but coaches want to do that as well.

2003
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 1: You know, credit to our coaching staff as far as

2004
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:06,840
Speaker 1: making the adjustments that we needed to. After that first series,

2005
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: we were in a lot of man concepts and what

2006
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 1: they like to do was crack guys and and get

2007
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: put the running back onto the the corners, and we

2008
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:18,759
Speaker 1: had some guys out of our gap. Then we switched

2009
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:20,519
Speaker 1: to a more of a zone concept and so guys,

2010
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:22,879
Speaker 1: we're able to play more with vision, play more downhill,

2011
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 1: and I think that kind of upset their running game

2012
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:26,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, and they wants to offense score some

2013
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns they able to take, Say Quan on the game, well,

2014
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,559
Speaker 1: what about this week you turn your sites forward towards

2015
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:34,880
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati fingers kind of turned the page. What what's

2016
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 1: what you see in this offense. Obviously they've thrown the

2017
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:41,120
Speaker 1: football more than anybody else. Yeah, so they've they've been

2018
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:42,640
Speaker 1: behind a little bit, right, I mean, I think that's

2019
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 1: probably the biggest thing. They do. Like to throw the

2020
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 1: ball around a lot of mean. Obviously, Andy dalton Um

2021
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: is a really good quarterback in this league, is very streaking.

2022
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:50,720
Speaker 1: If you allow him to get on a roll, he

2023
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 1: can pick you apart. Their offense relies on a lot

2024
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 1: of UM, I guess chunk yardage. You know, when you

2025
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:58,599
Speaker 1: think about ross, who they have on the outside board,

2026
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:00,320
Speaker 1: who they have on the outside, guys that can stretch

2027
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 1: of defense. Tyler Iiford, who is probably not as good

2028
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: as he wants wasn't but still a really good guy,

2029
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 1: just because he's been dealing with some injuries, Still very

2030
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 1: sure handed, able to move the sticks. Um. And then

2031
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,880
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon as well playing the running back role. And

2032
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:15,240
Speaker 1: so those are guys that we really have to be

2033
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: aware of where they're at. Um be very um. What

2034
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 1: am I trying to say, the conscious of formations, because

2035
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 1: that tells us a lot. And they like to play

2036
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 1: ash and go deep, and so we have to make sure,

2037
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:28,679
Speaker 1: you know, miking them. Guys on the back end always

2038
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:30,560
Speaker 1: do a great job of playing top down. Going on

2039
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:33,360
Speaker 1: with Joe Mixon, he's everaging like one point six one

2040
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:35,639
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry, led the conference in rushing

2041
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 1: last year. What's the problem everything? I think it's just

2042
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: getting damn one. They were in the Seattle game, but

2043
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 1: last week versus the forty nine ers, UM, the game

2044
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:44,679
Speaker 1: got in the hands. They had to throw the ball

2045
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 1: a lot more. UM. Some of them may be because

2046
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:48,880
Speaker 1: their offensive line is a little banged up. You know,

2047
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:52,479
Speaker 1: when you don't have continuity up front, that can hurt

2048
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:54,759
Speaker 1: the running game. Obviously the running back and quarterback always

2049
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:57,000
Speaker 1: get all the credit, but if your old line is

2050
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 1: not quite clicking quite yet, um, it's hard to create

2051
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,920
Speaker 1: those gaps and openings. And obviously that that time to

2052
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: throw the ball. And so he's struggling a little bit.

2053
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,720
Speaker 1: But I know he is a grinder. He's actually from

2054
01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, Um, from where I'm from, So I

2055
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:12,320
Speaker 1: know what type of heart mentality has And the minute

2056
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 1: you allow our underestimated guy like that, that's when they

2057
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 1: run all over you. What is that? What's the heart

2058
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:18,920
Speaker 1: mentality of a Bay Area guy? Well, you know, coming

2059
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 1: like that, Marshawn Lynch. When you think about guys, it's

2060
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: from the Bay Area myself. You know, we just cut

2061
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 1: from that old school cloth. You know. It's it's Oakland.

2062
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's the inner city. You have the

2063
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 1: inner city mentality. You've been a fighter all your life

2064
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 1: trying to get out and you kind of carry that

2065
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:33,880
Speaker 1: onto the field with you and just the way you

2066
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,160
Speaker 1: play play the game of football. And those guys run

2067
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 1: like that. They run angry, Yeah, run tough, especially between

2068
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 1: the tackles. I'm not laughing about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2069
01:39:42,080 --> 01:39:44,560
Speaker 1: I got you. I'm not laughing. I promise I'm not

2070
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 1: like the Bay Area. Um big targets outside and they

2071
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:52,799
Speaker 1: made big plays. I think their second in passing yardage.

2072
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 1: And you mentioned and Andy Dalton is a capable quarterback, right, Yeah,

2073
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 1: you didn't need to make a ton of big throws outside,

2074
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 1: but a couple will make a difference in this game. Yeah,

2075
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 1: And I mean they if you watch the film, they've

2076
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:05,840
Speaker 1: made some big throws, some big check yardage. And you

2077
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:07,760
Speaker 1: know he doesn't you know, he's not you know, people

2078
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 1: don't probably consider him a leite, but I played against

2079
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:11,240
Speaker 1: him a couple of times now, and he's very good

2080
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 1: at what he does, you know, just mobile enough to

2081
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 1: get out the way and extend some plays and has

2082
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,160
Speaker 1: the arm. And I think that football like you to

2083
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 1: extend plays and get the ball down the field. Laurenzo

2084
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,680
Speaker 1: Alexander against with the lowdown. Steve Tansker is with us

2085
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 1: as well. One more thing before we get to the lowdown.

2086
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 1: Playing at home, spending back to back on the road,

2087
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:30,639
Speaker 1: obviously to start this season, not great long road trips,

2088
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 1: but road games. Nonetheless, what does it mean for this team,

2089
01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:36,719
Speaker 1: your team to play at home this Sunday. It's huge. Obviously,

2090
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 1: we got a little bit of taste of what Bills

2091
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:39,920
Speaker 1: Mafia is capable of, you know, down in New York.

2092
01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:41,679
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you even heard it, you know, sitting

2093
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: up in the booth, just how loud they were in

2094
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: New York City. So now to have Bills Mafia and

2095
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 1: its entirety back here at home, I know the place

2096
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be rocking. I mean I was driving over

2097
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:56,800
Speaker 1: here yesterday evening and the RV lot, you know, with

2098
01:40:56,880 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 1: that Bills Mafia house as you kind of coming too,

2099
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:00,960
Speaker 1: the facility was already to fill up. So I know

2100
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great environment. Um, a lot of

2101
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 1: party in tailgating, a lot of broken tables out there,

2102
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 1: but I know they're gonna bring that energy inside and uh,

2103
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna feed off of that. And so hopefully we

2104
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:12,639
Speaker 1: were able to keep up, come out and keep that going.

2105
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 1: And but I know they're gonna be louding and help

2106
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 1: us out as much as they can. I've asked this

2107
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 1: to a couple of guys, and it's the same kind

2108
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: of question, and I kind of I know the answer,

2109
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:23,920
Speaker 1: But do you have to give the first year guys

2110
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 1: like like Ed Oliver and Cody Ford and if Devin

2111
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 1: Singletary was acting, the young guys don't go off the

2112
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 1: rails because it's so now you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

2113
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 1: you gotta stay disciplined and stay in the moment. But

2114
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:40,400
Speaker 1: it's hard. Yeah you do, Yeah, especially with all that

2115
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:43,680
Speaker 1: energy and juice and so um, you talk to them

2116
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:45,519
Speaker 1: a little bit about it, they've experienced it. The good

2117
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 1: thing is is not their first game, and so they've

2118
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 1: had a couple of games to get their feet wet

2119
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 1: and really get a sense of of who they are

2120
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:56,160
Speaker 1: as a football player, and so um, it won't be

2121
01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 1: as overwhelming as if this was, you know, uh, the

2122
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:01,559
Speaker 1: first game of the season and opening at home. All

2123
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:04,120
Speaker 1: the places you played, where does this place rank? Is

2124
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 1: he as the home field and not just the fans

2125
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:09,240
Speaker 1: or the atmosphere, but the whole setup, you know, the

2126
01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 1: field itself, for the locker rooms? How does this place

2127
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: measure up? You played in a lot of places. Yeah,

2128
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:18,720
Speaker 1: I would say this place is number one with the

2129
01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 1: overall environment and culture that has been set um and

2130
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:25,640
Speaker 1: I played. I mean, obviously with the Raiders that was

2131
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: only for one year. But I think the intimacy between

2132
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:31,439
Speaker 1: the community and the organization is a lot more tight

2133
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:34,639
Speaker 1: knit than anywhere I've ever been. And so that that's

2134
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 1: what that's what set this this place apart from every

2135
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 1: other organization. You know. And you don't want to talk

2136
01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:41,719
Speaker 1: bandy about places, but I will. I can't stay in Washington.

2137
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:44,600
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't like the building, I don't like

2138
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:46,600
Speaker 1: the atmosphere. There's nothing about that place I don't I

2139
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 1: hate the radio booth you can't see. I'm not gonna

2140
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna disagree with you, but I love I

2141
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:53,240
Speaker 1: love I love the fans up there. You know, I've

2142
01:42:53,320 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 1: had a great time with there. But yeah, I mean,

2143
01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 1: some of those things that you talk about does make

2144
01:42:57,040 --> 01:42:59,559
Speaker 1: it hard. It is a tough spot in history for Washington.

2145
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:02,600
Speaker 1: They've gone through some rough spots. To the stadium is

2146
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:04,919
Speaker 1: there's an issue with the owner wanting a new stadium

2147
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: in that city. They just had this stadium built. It's

2148
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 1: not that old, it's not that it's not and he's

2149
01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:14,200
Speaker 1: letting it go, and so the atmosphere is getting worse.

2150
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:18,240
Speaker 1: The fans are getting more disgruntled, and you know, it

2151
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 1: used to be you couldn't get a ticket right to

2152
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:23,200
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Now that's not the A lot of that's

2153
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 1: about winning. I mean, it's just not a good time

2154
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: for the organization. So you know, I know a lot

2155
01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 1: of people still over there, and so you know, it's

2156
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to see it, and especially the fans that

2157
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: I know that I'm real tight with, and so you know,

2158
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 1: I think every organization goes through ads and flows for

2159
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 1: the most part throughout the entire I mean, the NFL

2160
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 1: has been around four hundred years and Lorenzo always a

2161
01:43:41,439 --> 01:43:43,639
Speaker 1: great time. Lorenzo's on Friday with us with the low Down,

2162
01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:45,800
Speaker 1: his keys to how the bills get out of here

2163
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:48,679
Speaker 1: where the victory on Sunday. Let's start, And I'm curious

2164
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:51,720
Speaker 1: about your first one listed here. You're number one low

2165
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 1: down and your number one key re establish who we are. Yeah, yeah,

2166
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 1: And I think we kind of talked about that, you know,

2167
01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:00,240
Speaker 1: we're owing to there's all this national attention now that

2168
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:03,200
Speaker 1: we're getting, you know, as far as or maybe the

2169
01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:05,680
Speaker 1: bills are better than what we thought. And so with that,

2170
01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: sometimes you can kind of just get lackluster or not lackluster,

2171
01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:13,840
Speaker 1: relaxed in just your preparation. And so we we've been

2172
01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 1: re establishing who we are since Wednesday when we got

2173
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,720
Speaker 1: back in the building, just really reaffirming who we are

2174
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:21,240
Speaker 1: and then we need to carry that into the game.

2175
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:24,519
Speaker 1: So you're really talking about what you know, the preparation mindset, Yeah,

2176
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 1: everything all that, because you know, people talk about feeling

2177
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 1: and obviously we'd rather be too and than owing two. Um,

2178
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 1: but I think success is more of an opscore in

2179
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of time, especially when you have a young team,

2180
01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 1: than failing because you have a hunger. I want to

2181
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: get some wins. When you were good, everything is going fine,

2182
01:44:41,479 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 1: and you don't really worry about how do I grow

2183
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 1: week to week? And what I've been telling a lot

2184
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:48,519
Speaker 1: of young guys, the more games we play, the more

2185
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:50,919
Speaker 1: film study, and the more of a book, the opposing

2186
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, players, scouts are gonna have one and they're

2187
01:44:53,200 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 1: gonna how to attack you. So you want to grow

2188
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:58,360
Speaker 1: as this process goes on, as we win more and more,

2189
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:00,760
Speaker 1: and not just relaxing what you've been doing. Now. This

2190
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 1: number second lowdown is obviously here it's kind of self explainatory.

2191
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 1: Get off to a fast start. Yeah, we haven't done

2192
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 1: that in either of the games. The offense obviously. The

2193
01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:12,040
Speaker 1: first week we had four turnovers um and last week,

2194
01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 1: uh say quin and that offense just kind of ripped

2195
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 1: through us, uh really quick. And so instead of playing

2196
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:19,000
Speaker 1: from behind, it'd be gracious to come out to a

2197
01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 1: fast start, jump on Cincinnati and be able to maintain

2198
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 1: that energy throughout the game. You seen, No, it's it's

2199
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 1: actually pretty impressive. And you know, I'm trying to keep

2200
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,599
Speaker 1: my focus here. So I've never really been on one,

2201
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 1: but you guys are, you're working. I think if I

2202
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,240
Speaker 1: was sitting at home, I would have no clue. Right,

2203
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 1: maybe that's why you're letting me do all the talking. Right,

2204
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:45,280
Speaker 1: So here's why. For those of you who aren't watching.

2205
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:48,600
Speaker 1: And I had to switch Mike's MRS using another my

2206
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,479
Speaker 1: might quit working, which is they tell me as an accident.

2207
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:54,680
Speaker 1: It might have been purposely, but I've been asking for it, right, Right,

2208
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:57,960
Speaker 1: So we're sitting around here, We got people around the

2209
01:45:58,040 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 1: desk trying to fix the wiring and the like. So

2210
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 1: all set down. I've got Murph's Mike, Murph's got an

2211
01:46:02,320 --> 01:46:04,639
Speaker 1: extra mic, and you're all say you got your up. Yeah,

2212
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: all right, So last lowdown number three, don't give up

2213
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 1: any explosive plays. This one obviously kind of does speak

2214
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 1: for itself, but also because you're playing the Bengals, who

2215
01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:15,320
Speaker 1: they've kind of relied on that, Yeah, and that's what's

2216
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 1: really going to get them started. I don't think they

2217
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:19,840
Speaker 1: really want to be able to nickel in diamonds. That's

2218
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: not who they are. They want to be able to

2219
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 1: take big chunk plays. And when they get those big

2220
01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:24,960
Speaker 1: chunk plays, they lie right back on the on the

2221
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:27,000
Speaker 1: ball again and try to get you right back and

2222
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:29,200
Speaker 1: while you're down. And so we don't want to give

2223
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 1: them any any life. And any time you give up

2224
01:46:31,960 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 1: explosions with the type of guys that they have a

2225
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 1: receiver that really shifts the momentum and energy in their favor.

2226
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:43,759
Speaker 1: Learn Joe Um. Five passes knocked down by defensive linemen

2227
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:45,880
Speaker 1: last Sunday against the Giants. I think seventh were the

2228
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 1: first two games. What's going on there is that is

2229
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:49,920
Speaker 1: a good thing, right, it's a great thing. I mean,

2230
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:52,200
Speaker 1: obviously you'd like to get to them, but quarterbacks they

2231
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:54,400
Speaker 1: understand that they need to get the ball on their hands.

2232
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,640
Speaker 1: I think we have a very good rush group and

2233
01:46:56,680 --> 01:46:58,800
Speaker 1: if you hold on to it too long, um that

2234
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 1: we'll be able to get you down. But I think

2235
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 1: we have a great awareness of you know, when it's

2236
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 1: third two to six, understanding that I can't I'm not

2237
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run the hoop or do this

2238
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 1: fancy move because most quarterbacks are getting the ball out

2239
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 1: of their hands pretty quick, and so I may rush,

2240
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, bang a guy, knock him back, and then

2241
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:15,639
Speaker 1: I'm looking to get my hands up because these balls

2242
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 1: are coming out low because they're trying to run all

2243
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 1: these pick and mess routes, trying to knock off guys

2244
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 1: and a lot of times to give us a chance

2245
01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 1: to knock the ball down. And you saw last week

2246
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 1: Ed did it and we got a big play from

2247
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 1: Trent getting an interception. All right, Lorenzole, We got a

2248
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,560
Speaker 1: special guest for a special guest for you, Lorenzo, and

2249
01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 1: he is that standing mind. A guy you've had some

2250
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 1: encounters with. Take a look at this. Listen to this.

2251
01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:40,960
Speaker 1: Some people feel like we don't have a good relationship.

2252
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:42,640
Speaker 1: Now that's all. We can talk to each other like

2253
01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:47,800
Speaker 1: this right exactly, work through. Yeah, you know, I want

2254
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 1: to go all out to be soft you know, you

2255
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 1: know Donald's naturally soft minded. Here we go. It takes

2256
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 1: a village to raise people, right and then yeah, and

2257
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:57,800
Speaker 1: you're soft minded? What that is? So short sighted? Man?

2258
01:47:57,840 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 1: It's all about me, me, me, me when you're talking

2259
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:03,560
Speaker 1: about receives. Man, really it is me, me, me, me,

2260
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, just let me know when you want me

2261
01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:06,719
Speaker 1: to come in and take over me, because I would

2262
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:08,760
Speaker 1: never do that to you. He's leading by example, he's

2263
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 1: not just words. You know, I was blocking. It didn't

2264
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,040
Speaker 1: sound like it. No, no, no, I was. I was blocking.

2265
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:17,639
Speaker 1: I was using a lot of blocking. Matter of fact,

2266
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:19,160
Speaker 1: when I asked you, you like, yeah, I don't want

2267
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:22,000
Speaker 1: to block many I don't want to block do when

2268
01:48:22,040 --> 01:48:26,719
Speaker 1: things go well, it's me, it's me when something bad happens,

2269
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:30,880
Speaker 1: you know what it was? Freddie ran up my leg twice,

2270
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:33,800
Speaker 1: same play, same ankle. So that's why I don't block.

2271
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: Come yeah, yeah, or they could just throw the ball

2272
01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 1: and go ninety yards. So when you say stuff like that,

2273
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:40,040
Speaker 1: that means you didn't block. It's the type of guy

2274
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 1: you are. It is the type of guy got to

2275
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 1: rise above that. Man had it on here. I got

01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 1: and nobody can look you up. I say something, people

2280
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:54,120

2301
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:55,760
Speaker 1: a lot of distance. They did listen to me though,

2302
01:49:55,800 --> 01:50:00,720
Speaker 1: that we did replace you. So we got Steven here, everybody, Yeah,

2303
01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:08,640
Speaker 1: my man, Steve? Yeah, what happened with you? Did you

2304
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 1: see we've separated you? With me and Steve, we got long.

2305
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 1: That was the way we saw our love, you know,

2306
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 1: in our community. That's how that is a locker room thing. Yeah,

2307
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,600
Speaker 1: that is a locker thing. Yeah, no question about it.

2308
01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know him and I, you know, we had

2309
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 1: like a special bond or something like that. Really, let

2310
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 1: me ask you guys. We had a big thing about

2311
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 1: and and it's been a ritter since this team has

2312
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 1: taken shape this year. And you a former player. I'm

2313
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:47,599
Speaker 1: a former player, you're you're a current player. Explain culture,

2314
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:50,400
Speaker 1: Explain how it is that how many a difference it

2315
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:52,760
Speaker 1: makes when you got guys that you know, you can

2316
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:55,280
Speaker 1: you can talk to each other like that or like

2317
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:57,960
Speaker 1: you're do in a locker room? How does that translate

2318
01:50:58,080 --> 01:50:59,759
Speaker 1: onto the field. And why does it make a difference

2319
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:02,599
Speaker 1: for really good teams who have a culture and teams

2320
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 1: that aren't successful who don't know. I mean, I've always

2321
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 1: felt that the teams that obviously, you need to have

2322
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 1: talent on a team right to win games. But you

2323
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: have to come together because when you start way back

2324
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:18,720
Speaker 1: in August or even back in April May, whenever they start,

2325
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 1: don't even know when you gotta start. Now, you're you're

2326
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:24,599
Speaker 1: with the same guys every day from the morning until

2327
01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 1: the evening, and so you have to come together or

2328
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 1: you just in the building with some dude that I

2329
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:31,200
Speaker 1: don't like and who wants to do that, right, So

2330
01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:35,680
Speaker 1: you come together as as a brother the person next

2331
01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:37,479
Speaker 1: to you in the locker, you fly together, you do

2332
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 1: every single thing with these with these same guys that

2333
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:42,920
Speaker 1: you see every single day, you have to come together.

2334
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:44,559
Speaker 1: You have to jail. You're gonna go through a lot

2335
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:46,840
Speaker 1: of ups, a lot of downs. You have guys that

2336
01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 1: have families, they're going through personal stuff with their families,

2337
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:52,080
Speaker 1: and you're sitting right there next to them and you're like, Yo,

2338
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 1: what's up. You need to talk about it something like that.

2339
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:56,000
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff comes into play is nothing.

2340
01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any other job like it. Yeah, yeah,

2341
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 1: I'll definitely agree with that as well. It's all about

2342
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:03,320
Speaker 1: that camaraderie and if you if you're from a family,

2343
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 1: a big family, you just know how your brothers and

2344
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:07,880
Speaker 1: sisters and how you get along. You always rag on

2345
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:09,760
Speaker 1: each other and it's just part of how we share

2346
01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:11,280
Speaker 1: our love. It's kind of funny actually that you were

2347
01:52:11,320 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 1: even talking about this because last night we were at

2348
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:15,080
Speaker 1: Bible study and my wife was sharing a story about

2349
01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 1: why she loves me. She's like, yeah, I just love

2350
01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:20,280
Speaker 1: Lorenzo because he never wants to make fun or uh

2351
01:52:20,439 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 1: call people names. And then everybody else in the room

2352
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 1: was like Levi tearing Michael love all the young guys

2353
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:33,800
Speaker 1: and starting a story about your husband. Yeah, married relationship

2354
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:42,240
Speaker 1: with you and so yeah, you it's something to if

2355
01:52:42,320 --> 01:52:45,600
Speaker 1: men have a hard time communicating, yeah, you know, you

2356
01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:47,639
Speaker 1: know the deep stuff, right, you have a hard time

2357
01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:50,800
Speaker 1: with that. But when you're in the locker room where

2358
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 1: you know they know you, I mean you you know,

2359
01:52:54,200 --> 01:52:58,479
Speaker 1: and they still like you, that gets very empowering for

2360
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:01,360
Speaker 1: a guy, right, It's to have them know you're you're

2361
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:03,040
Speaker 1: you're not all of this, and you're not all of that.

2362
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:05,160
Speaker 1: Come on, bro, I know you better than you know.

2363
01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:07,479
Speaker 1: They know you. The front you put on for the

2364
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:09,720
Speaker 1: media and it. But to still have that, to be

2365
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 1: able to do that in the lockero haven no, but

2366
01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:14,680
Speaker 1: then be still be accepted. It's a really empowering atmosphere.

2367
01:53:14,880 --> 01:53:17,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, and I love it. Go ahead. I think

2368
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:19,240
Speaker 1: one of the things that you have to really watch

2369
01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:21,800
Speaker 1: for on every team, and I don't think you have

2370
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 1: this on this team even tell By when you watch

2371
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:26,960
Speaker 1: it on game day. You gotta watch for clicks throughout

2372
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:29,200
Speaker 1: a team. Oh yeah, we had that when I was here.

2373
01:53:29,200 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 1: You had the line and they just and you're gonna

2374
01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 1: naturally get that anyway. But you don't want it to

2375
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:35,760
Speaker 1: be where everybody secluded from each other. You know, you

2376
01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 1: need for everybody to still be able to come together

2377
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:40,640
Speaker 1: and go out and do things together. And when I

2378
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:43,080
Speaker 1: was here, we did truly have clicks on the team

2379
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 1: where the defensive guys they just hung with the defensive guys.

2380
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 1: You might not even like those guys over there, you know,

2381
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 1: on that side of the locker room or whatever the

2382
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:52,000
Speaker 1: case may may have been. Um, and you can't have

2383
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:53,880
Speaker 1: that in order to win, and I don't think this

2384
01:53:53,920 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 1: team has and that's great, and I think that's why

2385
01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:56,640
Speaker 1: a locker room is set up the way it is,

2386
01:53:56,680 --> 01:53:58,479
Speaker 1: because normally, when you go in the most locker room,

2387
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:00,439
Speaker 1: it's kind of offense defense kind of you know, and

2388
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:03,680
Speaker 1: you kind of clicked the or with linebackers, yeah, positional groups. Yeah.

2389
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I sit next to a running back, a

2390
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:08,120
Speaker 1: receiver in alignment. I don't even have any defensive guys

2391
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:09,840
Speaker 1: around me, and so you kind of get to know

2392
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 1: those guys when you're sitting at your locker, which is

2393
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:13,439
Speaker 1: really cool. And so, yeah, you have your clicks. But

2394
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:15,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I'm talking to Mitch, I'm talking

2395
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:18,200
Speaker 1: to Tremaine, and then I'll go talk to Harrison Philips.

2396
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, just so many different groups of people that

2397
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:21,800
Speaker 1: you kind of interact with throughout the day, and you

2398
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:23,639
Speaker 1: see that with other people just kind of walking around,

2399
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 1: there's really no true click. It's a great intersection of guys,

2400
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:30,000
Speaker 1: some older, younger from different places that really hang out

2401
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:31,560
Speaker 1: and really really like each other. At the end of

2402
01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 1: the day, it's like I'm back in town and there's

2403
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:36,400
Speaker 1: a there's a bunch of guys back in town from

2404
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:40,680
Speaker 1: when I was playing Stevie Marcus Evans, even Ron Brooks

2405
01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:43,520
Speaker 1: is in town, it's it's some other guys coming in town.

2406
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,240
Speaker 1: But our locker our locker room was set up. The

2407
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:48,720
Speaker 1: receivers sat next to each other, the dB sat next

2408
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:50,960
Speaker 1: to each other, so it kind of was a natural,

2409
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:53,200
Speaker 1: clicky type of thing. Yeah. Where now it seems like

2410
01:54:53,280 --> 01:54:55,560
Speaker 1: you guys all integrated with Yeah, And I think it's

2411
01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:57,960
Speaker 1: intentional by Sean too. Set it up, like the function

2412
01:54:58,000 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 1: of the team is, you know, the receivers gott of

2413
01:54:59,880 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 1: me together. They's have to learn the same place and

2414
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 1: the right for all that. So you need a place

2415
01:55:04,320 --> 01:55:07,080
Speaker 1: where you can mix it up and have to almost

2416
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:10,560
Speaker 1: be forced to interact with guys that you don't spend

2417
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:12,480
Speaker 1: much time with during the day, even though you're on

2418
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:14,560
Speaker 1: the same team and all at their meetings, your workout

2419
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 1: times are different. All of that. And and I'm using

2420
01:55:17,160 --> 01:55:19,040
Speaker 1: an analogy a week or two ago. It's a machine

2421
01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:21,160
Speaker 1: that has to be hitting on fifty three cylinders. You're

2422
01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:23,440
Speaker 1: like all and even the sixty three the practice squad,

2423
01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:26,680
Speaker 1: all of those cylinders have to be hitting because everybody's

2424
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:28,640
Speaker 1: trying to for the same thing. And even though ten

2425
01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:30,760
Speaker 1: of them are at practice squad players and six or

2426
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 1: eight of them aren't going to be active on game day.

2427
01:55:33,240 --> 01:55:37,080
Speaker 1: You win games Monday through Saturday, right, so what give

2428
01:55:37,120 --> 01:55:39,440
Speaker 1: us something? You guys have won two games. You're tell

2429
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:42,160
Speaker 1: us of the atmosphere Monday through Saturday here and why

2430
01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 1: the culture is a difference for us? It's been business

2431
01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:46,840
Speaker 1: as usual one. Like I said earlier, I mean, Sean

2432
01:55:46,920 --> 01:55:48,520
Speaker 1: has done a great job of bringing a guy down

2433
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:51,000
Speaker 1: and the leadership has shown up. So you still have

2434
01:55:51,120 --> 01:55:55,960
Speaker 1: guys you know, Jerry, you Star, Josh Tremaine, Guys that

2435
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 1: are that we count them, have been there for a year,

2436
01:55:57,680 --> 01:55:59,360
Speaker 1: have been in the league a long time. Frank being

2437
01:55:59,800 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 1: an another big one that comes to mind that are

2438
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 1: keeping the same routine. They haven't changed or let up.

2439
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 1: There's no difference on now have to take notes because

2440
01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:09,640
Speaker 1: we were two and old. So that mindset is there

2441
01:56:09,800 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 1: from the player leadership and and Sean has talked about

2442
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:14,800
Speaker 1: it and so guys have to fall in line with

2443
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 1: that because you have um your leaders doing it as

2444
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:18,800
Speaker 1: well as the head coach. And so it's been It's

2445
01:56:18,800 --> 01:56:20,520
Speaker 1: been great. It's good to be around here. Guys are

2446
01:56:20,520 --> 01:56:23,200
Speaker 1: still competing, trying to get better, and that's what we

2447
01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:24,840
Speaker 1: have to have on this team if we want to

2448
01:56:24,840 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 1: continue to grow and go where we want to. At

2449
01:56:26,600 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 1: the end of the Donald Jones, can I borrow your microphone?

2450
01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:30,840

01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna ask you how many sports does he playing? You

01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 1: tough being a taxi driver, but still it is. It

2490
01:58:21,480 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 1: is to you know, he's playing baseball, football, basketball. He

2491

2492
01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 1: basketball and football, but he's trying everything out. You know,

2493
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: just a big fan of having him play a bunch

2494
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:37,240
Speaker 1: of sports. Man. Man, I think nowadays you have so

2495
01:58:37,440 --> 01:58:40,560
Speaker 1: much with the AU basketball and AU baseball, even with

2496
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:43,600
Speaker 1: football now. I mean back home, they're trying to recruit him.

2497
01:58:43,640 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 1: There are certain programs throughout the state, um, and they're

2498
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:49,200
Speaker 1: trying to recruit him. And they go all he's in

2499
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:52,320
Speaker 1: fourth grade yea, and they travel state to state playing

2500
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:54,240
Speaker 1: football and they're trying to recruit him. And it's like

2501
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 1: an all year round type of thing. I don't like.

2502
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:57,880
Speaker 1: So how have you handled that as far as because

2503
01:58:57,880 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 1: that can go to a kid's head sometimes, especially starts

2504
01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:01,600
Speaker 1: that young. Because I have a cousin that's kind of

2505
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,920
Speaker 1: a similar arena. What have you done to kind of

2506
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,080
Speaker 1: set up some safeguard for him? Um? Well, I coach,

2507
01:59:06,320 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 1: all right, so I'm out there. You know, I'm the

2508
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:10,600
Speaker 1: one that if somebody comes up, I'm the one that's talking.

2509
01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:13,360
Speaker 1: I make sure nothing is really said around him. You know.

2510
01:59:13,440 --> 01:59:16,440
Speaker 1: I let him know, like, yo, you you're good, you're talented,

2511
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:19,280
Speaker 1: but we gotta work. We gotta work every day. And

2512
01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:21,960
Speaker 1: this year is really the first year that I've actually

2513
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:24,080
Speaker 1: worked with him. It's always just been natural talent. You

2514
01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:26,120
Speaker 1: go out there, you play, you have fun. This year

2515
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:27,600
Speaker 1: he's like that, come on, I want to I want

2516
01:59:27,640 --> 01:59:30,320
Speaker 1: to work on some things. He's playing quarterbacks, so we

2517
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 1: really had to work. And he was just playing running

2518
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:34,120
Speaker 1: back and wide receiver before, but now with quarterback, they're

2519
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:36,000
Speaker 1: running the option. I had to really work with him.

2520
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 1: So it's been fun, man. And I just make sure

2521
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:41,160
Speaker 1: that I'm the one that's around if anybody says anything,

2522
01:59:41,480 --> 01:59:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm the one they're talking to or not him. You

2523
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:46,640
Speaker 1: gotta can't play safe. But that AAU basketball, that's it's

2524
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:49,680
Speaker 1: almost like hockey. Murph Wult right, I mean, it's like

2525
01:59:49,720 --> 01:59:52,640
Speaker 1: a subculture that you get into that world. It's like, man,

2526
01:59:52,720 --> 01:59:55,000
Speaker 1: you can go there and never come out until you

2527
01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:57,680
Speaker 1: were ready for the NBA. We went to a tournament

2528
01:59:57,800 --> 02:00:00,600
Speaker 1: they played in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and it was a two

2529
02:00:00,680 --> 02:00:04,280
Speaker 1: day tournament. And the facility that that where this place

2530
02:00:04,360 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 1: was where the tournament was held, it was like thirty courts.

2531
02:00:07,240 --> 02:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Thirty courts. It was three buildings all put together and

2532
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:13,160
Speaker 1: a hotel connected to it, and they had soccer fields

2533
02:00:13,200 --> 02:00:14,960
Speaker 1: out there, they had baseball. I mean, this place was

2534
02:00:15,080 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 1: huge and every court was full. It was girls and

2535
02:00:18,120 --> 02:00:22,000
Speaker 1: boys all ages, thousands of people in there. Um, and

2536
02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:24,120
Speaker 1: you know it's it costs for each team to get in,

2537
02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:26,680
Speaker 1: but they also charged us thirty dollars ahead as parents

2538
02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:29,280
Speaker 1: to come and watch it. It's like you guys just

2539
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:36,520
Speaker 1: breaking it in thirty dollars ahead to get this should

2540
02:00:36,520 --> 02:00:38,440
Speaker 1: be using this building right here, and then we had

2541
02:00:38,520 --> 02:00:40,440
Speaker 1: to stay. We had to stay in the hotel as well,

2542
02:00:40,520 --> 02:00:44,400
Speaker 1: like they killing it, you know. So um, this place

2543
02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:46,440
Speaker 1: would be great that you know what. Good luck with him, man,

2544
02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:48,120
Speaker 1: that's good. And I know that too. You gotta sit

2545
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:49,880
Speaker 1: on and make sure, you know he keeps his head

2546
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:51,360
Speaker 1: on his shoulders. And that's as hard a part thing

2547
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:54,200
Speaker 1: as anything in the culture we live in. But congratulations too.

2548
02:00:54,240 --> 02:00:55,560
Speaker 1: When you left this year and a half ago, you

Speaker 1: So I want to ask you a couple of questions

2626

Speaker 1: about that. We also have a couple of Twitter questions

2627
02:04:55,880 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 1: as well. So first of all, the new Tailgate Village,

2628
02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:00,920
Speaker 1: there's some new policies. So what do fans need to

2629
02:05:01,040 --> 02:05:03,880
Speaker 1: know who are bringing buses, limo buses, things like that

2630
02:05:03,960 --> 02:05:06,400
Speaker 1: ahead of kickoff on Sunday. Yeah, the main thing for

2631
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Tailgate Village and the bus on lim A lot is

2632
02:05:08,600 --> 02:05:11,600
Speaker 1: for fans to make sure they purchase those parking permits

2633
02:05:11,640 --> 02:05:15,640
Speaker 1: in advance and purchase those through tailgate Guys, which is

2634
02:05:15,680 --> 02:05:19,360
Speaker 1: tailgate Guys dot com and they'll take care of them. Um,

2635
02:05:19,640 --> 02:05:23,520
Speaker 1: it's either a bus a limo. Is the bus tailgating?

2636
02:05:23,640 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Is it not tailgating? And then the fans that are

2637
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:29,560
Speaker 1: tailgating will have access to Telgate Village and Telgate Village

2638
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:31,360
Speaker 1: will have all kinds of fun stuff. You know, we'll

2641
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:43,440
Speaker 1: And the package includes a table chairs, tent. And then

2642
02:05:43,480 --> 02:05:46,040
Speaker 1: the fans bring their own tailgating items or they can

2643
02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:48,560
Speaker 1: opt to cater it as well, So lots of options

2644
02:05:48,640 --> 02:05:51,800
Speaker 1: for fans. And again, this whole program is to enhance

2645
02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:55,000

02:06:00,240 --> 02:06:02,280
Speaker 1: safe but also having a great time. So when it

2649
02:06:02,360 --> 02:06:05,560
Speaker 1: comes to fan behavior, what should fans look out for

2650
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:10,400
Speaker 1: each other? I mean, we've got the greatest fans right

2651
02:06:10,480 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: there are a few that make it rough on game

2652
02:06:12,840 --> 02:06:15,400
Speaker 1: day and that's why we have some of the changes

2653
02:06:15,440 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 1: over the years with policies. We evolve and so do

2654
02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:20,520
Speaker 1: the fans. But the fans are great. We've got the

2655
02:06:20,640 --> 02:06:23,880
Speaker 1: most passionate, loyal fan base and this is nothing more

2656
02:06:23,920 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 1: than an effort to improve the fan experience and make

2657
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:30,280
Speaker 1: it safer. But fans, we ask them, you know, if

2658
02:06:30,320 --> 02:06:32,800
Speaker 1: they see something, say something. You know, if you see

2659
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:37,760
Speaker 1: something happening that's dangerous or unsafe, or you know, fan

2660
02:06:37,880 --> 02:06:41,080
Speaker 1: behavior related, or someone's getting sick because they've drank too much,

2661
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:42,840
Speaker 1: we want to know. We want to help, but we

2662
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:44,880
Speaker 1: want to make sure the rest of the fans in

2663
02:06:44,920 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 1: those areas and they're taking care of fan experience. Entertainment

2664
02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:51,200
Speaker 1: is also very important. We want the fans to have

2665
02:06:51,400 --> 02:06:54,480
Speaker 1: a great time and have great experience paying for tickets

2698
02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:50,520
Speaker 1: base that represents the Bills, right, so this will be

2699
02:08:50,560 --> 02:08:53,640
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for us to really really engage with

2700
02:08:53,760 --> 02:08:56,640
Speaker 1: the fans and recognize the fans in this manner and

2701
02:08:56,800 --> 02:09:00,240
Speaker 1: honor him. There's also other activities going on. We've got

2702
02:09:00,440 --> 02:09:04,160
Speaker 1: the game day obviously the game itself, but the flyover pregame,

2703
02:09:04,240 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 1: we always have a great national anthem presentation. You know,

2704
02:09:07,360 --> 02:09:10,120
Speaker 1: We've got some fun things lined up for halftime as well.

2705
02:09:10,680 --> 02:09:14,080
Speaker 1: So again, just trying to enhance that fan experience, make

2706
02:09:14,120 --> 02:09:16,560
Speaker 1: it fun, give the fans a reason to come in

2707
02:09:16,720 --> 02:09:19,840
Speaker 1: early and not have to wait on the lines at

2708
02:09:19,920 --> 02:09:23,280
Speaker 1: the gates. So we certainly encourage fans to come inside,

2709
02:09:23,720 --> 02:09:26,280
Speaker 1: see all the fun stuff pregame and be a part

2710
02:09:26,320 --> 02:09:28,360
Speaker 1: of that, and then also be ready to cheer your

2711
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:31,760
Speaker 1: team onto that field because we're gonna have seventy thousand

2712
02:09:31,800 --> 02:09:35,520
Speaker 1: plus screaming fans and to sold out venue, a new airfield,

2713
02:09:35,640 --> 02:09:37,960
Speaker 1: and they want We want them to be there too,

2714
02:09:38,120 --> 02:09:40,640
Speaker 1: and the players want them to be there too. So

2715
02:09:40,960 --> 02:09:44,040
Speaker 1: we've heard the players tweet some things this week and

2716
02:09:44,440 --> 02:09:48,680
Speaker 1: share their excitement about game day and we're with them.

2717
02:09:49,240 --> 02:09:52,320
Speaker 1: We're all with them with this, so we're excited. Fan

2718
02:09:52,440 --> 02:09:55,000
Speaker 1: presence can definitely make a difference. Shack Losson told me

2719
02:09:55,120 --> 02:09:57,400
Speaker 1: last night on Third Down. We need the fan base

2720
02:09:57,480 --> 02:09:59,560
Speaker 1: to be loud because they can make such an impact

2721
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:01,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to the noise. There's a couple of

2722
02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Twitter questions that we had, so if you tweet it in,

2723
02:10:03,880 --> 02:10:06,000
Speaker 1: thank you for tweeting in with questions. One of those

2724
02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:09,200
Speaker 1: has to do with getting to the stadium early. Joe says,

2725
02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:11,920
Speaker 1: it's more of a comment, but you can add on

2726
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:14,880
Speaker 1: to this. He said, I can't stress enough for how

2727
02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:17,600
Speaker 1: important it is for people to not wait until ten

2728
02:10:17,680 --> 02:10:19,880
Speaker 1: minutes prior to kickoff to come into the stadium. It

2729
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:22,720
Speaker 1: backs up the lines. It's tough to get through security.

2730
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,680
Speaker 1: Thousands of people do this every weekend and that's why

2731
02:10:25,800 --> 02:10:28,000
Speaker 1: some people get into the game. Wait. So why is

2732
02:10:28,040 --> 02:10:30,680
Speaker 1: it important to get to those gates early and to

2733
02:10:30,880 --> 02:10:34,000
Speaker 1: spread out going to different gates. Yeah, well we appreciate

2734
02:10:34,120 --> 02:10:36,760
Speaker 1: that tweet by Joe. I will tell you, you know,

2735
02:10:36,920 --> 02:10:39,560
Speaker 1: fans know what to expect. I mean, we each say

2736
02:10:39,640 --> 02:10:42,839
Speaker 1: all the time the gates open nineteen minutes before kickoff,

2737
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:45,480
Speaker 1: and we do get a good number of fans that

2738
02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:49,840
Speaker 1: come in early and avoid all the lines altogether. Even

2739
02:10:49,880 --> 02:10:51,760
Speaker 1: if you got to the gates to say twelve noon,

2740
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:55,080
Speaker 1: an hour before kickoff, you're probably walking right in. You know,

2741
02:10:55,200 --> 02:10:57,920
Speaker 1: you start talking about twelve fifteen, twelve thirty quarter to

2742
02:10:58,040 --> 02:11:01,680
Speaker 1: one for a one pm kick off, fans are probably

2743
02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:04,520
Speaker 1: some of them are gonna miss kickoff. So yeah, you know,

2744
02:11:04,800 --> 02:11:07,240
Speaker 1: we know fans are tailgating and having a great time.

2745
02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 1: We encourage responsible tailgating. We love our fans, but if

2746
02:11:11,280 --> 02:11:13,360
Speaker 1: they want to see all the fun stuff pregame and

2747
02:11:13,840 --> 02:11:16,640
Speaker 1: not miss kickoff, they definitely want to get in there

2748
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:20,880
Speaker 1: twelve o'clock twelve fifteen and not you know, get online,

2749
02:11:20,920 --> 02:11:22,800
Speaker 1: get in and not have a problem. And there's that

2750
02:11:22,880 --> 02:11:25,360
Speaker 1: firework that goes off an hour before kickoff to let

2751
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:27,680
Speaker 1: fans know, Yeah, let's wrap it up, let's get into

2752
02:11:27,680 --> 02:11:30,440
Speaker 1: the stadium. Yeah, so our in game entertainment team with

2753
02:11:30,560 --> 02:11:33,080
Speaker 1: Mike and Jeff. I mean, we've got a big train

2754
02:11:33,200 --> 02:11:36,360
Speaker 1: horn noise going on along with the fireworks to kind

2755
02:11:36,400 --> 02:11:39,280
Speaker 1: of give everybody that one hour warning, so to speak,

2756
02:11:39,320 --> 02:11:42,360
Speaker 1: and hey, kickoff is coming soon. Start coming on in

2757
02:11:42,480 --> 02:11:44,800
Speaker 1: and get ready to cheer on the bills. One more question,

2758
02:11:44,880 --> 02:11:47,040
Speaker 1: This one's from Jack. He says he usually sits in

2759
02:11:47,120 --> 02:11:50,200
Speaker 1: the upper deck and in the tower bathrooms, they're speakers,

2760
02:11:50,240 --> 02:11:52,520
Speaker 1: but they don't happen to play the broadcast. He says,

2761
02:11:52,560 --> 02:11:54,840
Speaker 1: on the lower levels they do play the broadcast in

2762
02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 1: the bathrooms. Is there any reason for that or if

2763
02:11:57,600 --> 02:12:00,200
Speaker 1: it could be changed? You know what? I know, not

2764
02:12:00,280 --> 02:12:01,840
Speaker 1: that I know of. I'll also to look into that one.

2765
02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:04,320
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I hadn't heard that. But we'll

2766
02:12:04,360 --> 02:12:06,680
Speaker 1: get with our stadium ops team, our broadcast team and

2767
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:08,800
Speaker 1: see if there's something we can do for an adjustment there.

2768
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:11,400

2789
02:13:14,720 --> 02:13:16,480
Speaker 1: think I think since then I's gonna struggle, They're not

2790
02:13:16,480 --> 02:13:19,000
Speaker 1: going to run the ball on these guys. And I

2791
02:13:19,080 --> 02:13:21,400

02:13:21,480 --> 02:13:23,880
