  Speaker 1: Adam Rupczyk, R-U-P-C-Z-Y-K. Holla at the crew, DTTIF. I mean,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: what did we say? You said pre-show. You couldn't have
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: drawn it up any better, man. Five days, two wins. DT,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you can't. I don't know, man. There's a couple things
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that could have made it a better start to the season.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The list is very, very short.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Nickel City crew, happy Friday. Let's go. Let's go, Nickel
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: City crew. It's good to be hype. It's good to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: be back, Rob. Happy to be here again, man. Love you.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: 2-0.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: This is two months. Not two months, a half of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a month. It's two weeks of football, and it just
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: happened in hours of a span. And we watched the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills go 2-0, or Joe Brady would say two
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: 1-0 weeks. So let's get into it, baby. Can't wait.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm pumped up. We talked about the raise up and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: getting ready to go for last week, week one, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: tapping there and building your energy and running through it. Well,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you best be ready because those were a hell of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a two games, and I'm not coming down anytime soon.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, I'm definitely not coming down anytime soon for sure.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I'll agree with you on that. It's funny because, DT,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: we talked about it before week one about the House
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of Horrors, and we had our guest on, and we
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: kind of just kind of chapped it up, and it's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: funny because, DT, that game down in Houston did not
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: play out the way that I thought that it would
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: play out. Eight lead changes. The Bills win 36-31. Back
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth, back and forth. DT, what
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: were your thoughts on that game? Because I know you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: were going crazy like a lot of members of the Mafia,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Nickel City crew were as well. It was intense. It
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: was back and forth. But it was a game that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I really thought by the end of it that we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: had a shot. even when Houston was driving down. Now,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I was nervous. I won't lie and say that I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't nervous when they started to approach, especially on that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: little out route they had that got them down like
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the 12-yard line. I was like, shit, maybe this won't
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: work out the way that we want it. You know
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: how Bills were used to losing those close games at
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the end. DT, it was just funny because the defense
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: steps up, makes a play. No, they weren't perfect. We'll
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: talk about that later in the show. They weren't perfect,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: but Greg Rousseau comes up with a key fumble. to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: force a fumble on CJ Stroud and seals the game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And it was really, really nice to see for a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: change of pace that the defense helped out the offense. Again,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they were not perfect, but when it mattered most, fourth quarter,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: chips on the line, they stood up and they made
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a play, DT. And that's really all you ever could
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: ask for.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: What a good bout. What a good litmus test. This
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: is a team that, you know, we talked a lot
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of shit about CJ Stroud, and I might swallow it
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a little from last week of- you know, not respecting
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and they came out and balled on us, you know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in the, in the fact of where our defense was,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: was learning and didn't play horrible. It just, they were
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: moving the ball as, as opposed to the same one,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: same with us.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So a good bout. And I think with this strong
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: defense and if CJ Stroud plays similar to that, I mean,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they got the Bengals this week, so it'll be good
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to kind of eye in on them and see, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: what they really are, if it was just a shot
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: out of the cannon or they are going to hold that,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that offensive kind of power. So, They're a dangerous team
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: if they do that, and it was kind of a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: back-and-forth battle about, you know, ring, ring, ring. But, man,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we got the boy that throws the biggest punches, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I guess I was like– I was so into– it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: week one, the emotions there. Like, it was taking over
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: me a little in the fourth quarter where I wasn't
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: really holding on to the gravity of, like, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we could lose the game, especially after the touchdown and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that dot, you know, we get on five. It just–
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: The excitement level of me, I couldn't believe, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that we would ever lose. So, yes, I probably should
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: have been nervous, but I wasn't. We, you know, we
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: got something that rolls out to us and catch the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: dub down in Houston, finally get that monkey off our
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: back and be able to go 1-0. So, but two
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: big plays by the defense. I mean, we come out
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: right out of the gate and get the strip sack
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: early with Rousseau in the first quarter, in the first possession.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Gets us in a time where we should have probably
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: scored and didn't and and kind of reset the stack,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and Josh Allen made him pay once he gave him
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the second chance after that fumble for sure. Then late
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in the game, we needed him and got it. So
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: all in between, the defense did let up a lot,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: but you got to credit the Texans for having a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: high-power team. Nico Collins was the dog. We know he is.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: David Montgomery was the dog. We know he is.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And C.J.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Stroud made the plays and got out of the pocket.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So good for them on offense, but holy hell, talk
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: about an offensive performance from Josh Allen going in there
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and being in mid-season form, out of the gate, no rust,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: didn't play much at all in the preseason, and just
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: is on the money everywhere. The first touchdown to DJ Moore,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: DJ Moore says top five throws he's ever been seen,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: been a part of, ripped it to him like the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Miracle, and then obviously the dot to win the game,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: and just the toughness that Eddie always does when he's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: on the 10-yard line. He's like, should I go down? No,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going in for the touchdown. And obviously gets it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And now two games. We'll get into obviously this game,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: but the two games with the 2-2 and the next
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: closest guy, Steve Young, with like three of them. So
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: it's crazy. We're watching greatness, and it's addicting. I love it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It's must-see TV. Let's go, baby. Week one, Houston Texans,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: fake division.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Screw them. Never a doubt. As DT would say, no,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen was surgical, to be honest, DT. I mean,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: 20 of 29, 334 yards. As you said, two through
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the ground, two through the air, excuse me, and then
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: two on the ground as well. And that first quarter run,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that was really something to watch. I mean, it's almost
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like you become numb to it. And we shouldn't be.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: The second quarter run, excuse me. There's not many quarterbacks
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that are even getting in the end zone on that run.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of them are going to get lit up.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: before they even get to the goal line, Josh Allen
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is just such a beast. I love it. How they
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: were in Marin coverage and nobody was accounting for him
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and he just takes off and runs. But I love
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the point that you made about mid season form, because
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that was one of the things that kind of stuck
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: out to me was the offense was ready. DT. They
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: were ready to go from, from the jump. Like it
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: just seemed like they had everything dialed up. Joe Brady
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: talked about how he wanted to be in attack. And
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: what did he say? Put the ball down as their
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: new slogan this year. And, It was a situation, DT,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: where as soon as they put the ball down, it
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: was you're absolutely right. There was no like feeling your
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: way into it or it was just blow after blow.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: They had a couple of different penalties. Obviously, there was
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a ton of penalties in that game with that crew.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We had kind of foreseen that coming because that crew
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: has a history of calling a lot of penalties. But DT, man,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you talked about a little bit of it. That pass
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to DJ Moore, even the pass to Kincaid, the one
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: where it was so. Not the one that he jumps
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: up and gets, because that one is obviously the highlight one.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the one where he feathers it in,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: perfect touch, right down the right sideline. I mean, like,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: just perfect touch on it, the exact way you want
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: it to do, the way you want it to be thrown,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: where the receiver can keep going. I was so impressed
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: by Josh Allen, man, on week one. I was so
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: impressed by his poise and the way, and I mean, obviously,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that rope that he throws. I read, I watched like
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a breakdown of that thing today. about how everything was
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: going on that play and the protection. And then they
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: ran a stunt. And then all of a sudden it
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was just like a situation where he let it go.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to hear the Titans fans, Texas
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: fans that are telling me that, you know, we got lucky. Okay.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: There's luck. We talked about in the beginning of the season,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: DT was, you need a little bit of luck sprinkled
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in to win a Superbowl. You need a lot. There's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: no super champion ever. that has had no luck.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: But still there, there's a buck 50 in three timeouts. So,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you know, it's not over by any means if they
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: do come up with that pick in the end zone.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, I know. I know it's just sour grapes
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and they're using a coping mechanism, but the game wasn't over,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: number one. And then number two, you didn't make the play. So, like,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that's the bottom line for me is that you didn't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: make the play. Kamari Lasseter had an opportunity to to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: pick him off like DT said it wasn't necessarily going
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to be game over but it would obviously changed a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: lot of it but man I mean I was in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a situation where that next throw the balls I mean
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the the gall of this dude to just go ahead
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and throw it and I love after the game that
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: he said DT that this was not it was a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: play that they erupt he had never openly palmer on
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that right yeah i was never done that before yeah
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: i was i was shocked by that man i i
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: i just i wouldn't think in a money situation that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do that doesn't it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Just put the greatness into display right there like oh
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: yeah didn't know we could do that that's pretty sweet
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: you know like didn't even think of it didn't even
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: rep it didn't even in his crazy mind think he
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: could ever have that throw. And then he just sees it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And in a split second, just as able to put
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: on a ball like that, like that's the greatness we're
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: talking about. And then just to be like, I mean,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: a quarterback could rep that a hundred times and not
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: be able to make that throw consistently.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And he could come out and just be like, Oh,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: that's pretty cool.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love it. I love it, man. I love it, man. Listen, 36, 31, again,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: eight lead changes in that game. Just such a great game.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Joshua Palmer, from Josh Allen, 34 yards to end it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it was a frozen rope. Everybody's seen
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it by now. Dalton Kincaid, I mean, listen, he'll impress
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: me when he plays eight games in a row or
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: he's ready to go for the playoffs, but I can't
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: take away from his performance week one, 130 yards. I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: guess it was like the most since like 92 or
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: something like that for Bill's tight end. I'm encouraged, especially
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: with last night as well. We'll talk about that in
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a moment, but I'm encouraged by him. I still am
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: holding out, and I've got my reservations. I want to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: see him play consistently, play eight, nine games in a row,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that type of thing, play at the back end of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the season, be ready to go for the playoffs, still
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: be healthy. But it seems like they're clicking on all cylinders,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: even to start the season. I think that that might
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: be the number one thing that I am most impressed
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: about DT, and you spoke on it, was that they
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: did not take any time to kind of ease into shit.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: They were ready to go right off the jump.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, if 86 keeps this pace up, we're going to,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, where he's a $ 29 million tight end, you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: like this is a, this is a year where if
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: he puts up this statistical, even close to what this
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: projection is now after two plus very well North of
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: 100 games, this is a $ 30 million guy, a pivotal
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: point in the offense, one of the best paid tight ends,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you know, there is. So that's a crazy thing to
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: think about, too. But like you said, we have been
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: proven off time and time again that we can't see
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: him in a long-term situation. So we'll see. But we're
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: getting the ball around. A lot of people are getting touches.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are contributing. Let's hope that kind
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: of gives Kincaid areas to just be his guy, make
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the catches he needs. And if it's more pivotal, it's
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: more pivotal. But got to stay healthy. I don't believe
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: in it yet. What a start, though, for 86.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what a start for him. Now, when we switch
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: sides of the ball, you know, the Houston game, DT,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and it'll kind of correlate with last night as well.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Just Greg Russo, it's funny to see a guy like
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that where you know he's got the measurables. I mean,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: he walks off the bus and he looks like a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: football player. He looks like a defensive end. Walks off
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the bus, one of those big scary bodies, but I mean,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: hadn't been able to put it all together. Now, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's scheme. I don't know if it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: was approach, what it was, but Seems like a different
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: player after these first couple weeks. I don't know, man.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I'm encouraged by what I see from him because of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: what I said. He already has the physical tools. We
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: have known that since he was drafted out of Miami.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: We know he's got the chops, so to speak. But, man,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he's putting it together. He's got his hand in the dirt.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: He breaks up a pass. diving in that Houston game
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: when he was coming off. In coverage.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: In coverage, yeah.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't really ask more of Greg Rousseau
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: these first two games. And like I said, we'll talk
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: about last night in a minute. But just specifically week
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: one DT, two sacks, the forced fumble to end the game.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I like what I see so far from Greg Rousseau.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It seems like he's got some extra juice. And again,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I don't want to attribute everything to the previous coach.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't know. He looks different to me.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: 15, the new age 15 coming in. I like this
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: 15 a lot more than, than the more famous one
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: in the league. That's for sure. I, I, I turned
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the radio, I turned the radio or the volume on
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the radio or the TV when it's at 15 to
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: make sure it doesn't stay at 15. But now Greg
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Russo might help me like the number one five again,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: this guy, I mean, you put 20 bucks on him
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to win defensive player of the year. You'll win like
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: 10 grand, you know, not that much, but This dude's
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: got crazy odds early on with four sacks and two
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: strip and two strips, like good to see, you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: with the defense kind of getting carved, but realistically, you know, the,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the pass rush was there decently. CJ Stroud didn't have
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: all day. You know, the run game was they, even
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Montgomery scoring three touchdowns, he only ran for 60 yards.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know. I don't think that they
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: played horrible in the trenches there. I think it, the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Houston just had a good game plan and picked us
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: like same as we did to them. But Good to
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: see that early, and we saw some other hype in
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: that game with the linebackers play, too. So I don't
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: think we got beat too bad on the line of
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: scrimmage in that first game. The second half was better
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: than the first half. Yeah, for sure. And 15 is
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a new number I like now.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and a guy that I've always liked, they call
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: him the dancing bear, the dancing polar bear. I mean,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Deion Walker, what a revelation. I know, shout out to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Mama Monday. She was so happy. She was like a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: pig in shit, just rolling around, just so happy to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: see this guy performing because you know how much she's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: always wanted that big defensive tackle. I mean, the guy is,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: he's disruptive, DT. There's no really other way that I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: can describe him. I describe him as disruptive. He's always
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in the backfield. He did that swim move against Houston.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: He's right there in the backfield to make plays. He
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: swallows up CJ right before that fumble in the fourth quarter.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: He is disruptive. I think he had three or four
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: tackles for loss. I don't know, man. I guess it
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: said something. I heard a stat. He's got more pressures
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in the first two games than he did any of
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: all of his pass rushing opportunities last year. I am
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: very excited about this young man. I think that him
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: with a healthy Ed Oliver could be a problem on
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that interior. I don't know, DT. He's got the early
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: returns are good. Deion Walker looks like he could be
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a potential pro bowler. maybe even an off-road down the road.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Scheme and plug-in, is this a spot that works for him?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: And we were kind of bitching about it in the off-season,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and he's not a traditional nose guard. We can't just
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: throw him in there, a nose guard, and think he's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: going to be good. But in this scheme, it looks
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: like he can be. He is so big and elusive.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: He is two people. He's two players, Rob. I mean,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the way he's able to get into in direction left
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and right and up and down, like it's, you have
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: to basically block two people because he covers that much ground.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: You know, think of that radius of him, how high
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: he jumps and how far he can get left to right.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Like that's a massive area he can cover in a
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: quick space. And he's proven he's, that's what he kind
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: of likes. He's cat like Rob, the big boys cat,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: like up there with, with his hands and he's not
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: falling for pump fakes. He's kind of reading the he's
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: in the quarterback's head there. And that's, that's something that's
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: half the battle when it comes to pass rushing and
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: whether they're hearing the invisible guy behind them, or if
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the guy in front of them just coming into their
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: face mask all night long, they're going to, they're going
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to start worrying about what he's doing. And then you
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: have full range to get to them and get them
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: off his game. So I like it. Just think of
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: that nickel city crew, that huge blanket. It's like a
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: fisherman net. Like this dude in the middle is like
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: area to cover up, down, side to side. And again,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: hopefully this keeps transcending. And exactly. That's what I'm saying.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Like getting up and, and deflecting the pass and in
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the quarterback's head with what's he going to do. So, again,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: another bright light on a defense that's let up 62
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: points in two games. But some bright lights for sure.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get to that. I think that it was
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a great psychological win. Shout out to Coast to Coast.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: You were busy, DT, but they had me on the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: other night with Sheed. So we were represented. Nicholson was
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: represented on there. So shout out to Whittle and beyond.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: And I just said like, you know, they asked like,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: is this one of Josh's best victories? And I said,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you know what? It was one of his best moral victories,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: like for his psyche. You know what I mean? Like,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you know, he's probably played better in other games than
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: he did week one. But just like the psyche of it,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I think is really important, especially when you're setting the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: table for a season to start. Week one, you've got
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: an opponent, like we talked about House of Horrors, all
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that other type of shit. He just, he handled the moment.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And it was a situation where I thought, I don't know. Like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I just, I thought that he started out so fast
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and he started out so crisp that I think that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it was a big psyche game for Josh. I think
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that this helps him. And it obviously looks like it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: propelled them into last night as well, where he's not,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: he's not thinking now he's just, he's already processing shit.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Like now he's passed, like he's passed. Oh man, where
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: is this blitz coming from? Where is this guy? Like,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: he's now just, he's now, you know, 3d level chest.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Like he's now he's on that Peyton Manning, level he's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: on that Tom Brady level mentally where he can process
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the game and I think that that is that's a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: scary sight for the rest of the league because if
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: this guy starts processing everything and and already has the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: answers to the test so to speak I think that
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: you could be in I think you could be in
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: for it for for the rest of the.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: League the the MVP race could be settled by by
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and you know if this if this keeps up
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: it's going to be it's going to be unanimous top
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: to bottom can't be stopped won't be stopped got to
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: be a Super Bowl, maybe 17 and 0. but we
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: all know, you know, it's a, it's a tough league
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of prices to pay, but the last,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: you know, the last two games in five days we've seen,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: why shouldn't we think differently? Right. So 17 comes out
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: and what confidence that is to get that burden off
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: your back and not being able to get in Houston.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And you specifically, as I talked about it last week,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: like a burden on the bills in 20 years, but
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen looked dumb in a lot of those games. And, and,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: you know, he don't like, nobody makes it look dumb.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: And so he was, He owed him one and paid
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: for him for sure. So that gets off your back.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And then obviously you go into Thursday and it's, a
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: house you built. Literally, you can think about it. You've
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: ran out of the tunnel before, and you know you're
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: famous in Buffalo, and you know the crowd's behind you,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: but think of that all sinking in on you in
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: the tunnel last night when you are standing there in
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: this stadium you literally built. If you are not on
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: this team, the Bills might not even be here, or
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: this stadium is definitely not here. You built this thing,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and then to feel all that and feel the reception,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: it's like okay, this is actually it now. Like I
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: know it and I felt it, but now this is
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: actually it and come out and perform like that. Like
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: how much more confidence and swagger can you freaking get
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: For one seven, like this dude is in a flow
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: state beyond flow states. Let's hope health and keep it,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: keep it strong. But it seems like the little shit
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: is out of it. And all your philosophy about this
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: flow and him being complete now with his family and
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: this whole, you know, avatar type circle connection shit. And it's,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: you know, that's the type of flow we're talking about, baby. So,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: so let's glide across these gardens on our freaking dragons, baby.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And just like rock and roll.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I love it. Listen, tonight's episode is presented by Buffalo

• 22:38
  Speaker 1: as we transition, you already kind of spoke on it
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit, man. I was watching last night just
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: so jealous in a good way of just the entire atmosphere.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I knew that the atmosphere was going to be electric.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: It popped on TV, DT, and I know that you
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: were at home as well watching it. We'll get to
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: it at the tailgate report, but it popped on TV.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I felt the electricity through my television. I can't even
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: imagine what it was like in Orchard Park. Shout out
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to everybody that took all the videos and stuff like that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I was all over Instagram and Facebook seeing everybody's videos. DT,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: what a night. What a way to open and christen
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the crib. I didn't see a way for us to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: lose that game because of everything that was going on.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just thought that there was just going
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to be too much. And I spoke about how sometimes
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: it can get overwhelming where, just the emotions and everything
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: is just, it just sweeps over you like an avalanche.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: And I thought that that, that Detroit could get swept
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: up in it. And, and they really did DT the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: bills when, as you already know, 41 31, the game
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: wasn't even that close. They kept it close because they
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: were able to double dip at the end of the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: half in the beginning of the third quarter. It was really,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: truly a blowout DT. If you, if you ask me,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I, I enjoyed everything about that
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: game from the start of it to, to when it
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: was triple zeros on the clock, DT, it, I can't
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: imagine being in there and I really felt like I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: was living vicariously through the Bills Mafia watching it on
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: TV because it seemed like it was electric and it was.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Bruce Smith starting off with leading the charge and then
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: everything that happened throughout the night. It was really impressive
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: to watch. I know everybody enjoyed themselves.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: What a magical night. What a beautiful night. What a
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: night Buffalo deserves. What a night Josh Allen deserves. That
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: was awesome. That was so sick of Like, people were
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: not getting the opener because we didn't go to the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And people bitching we don't have a 1
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: o'clock game to open the stadium. Well, that's exactly why.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: That's exactly why right there. That standalone, all eyes on
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: that beautiful night lit up. Like, how much more beautiful
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: could that be? That was perfect. That's why they do it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: That's all questions answered of why we open on Thursday
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: night in week two. Because what a beautiful sight. What
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: a beautiful scene.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: heard it for miles, like the fireworks show, the 360s
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: of the place, like how sick and beautiful and the
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: performance on the field even better, the chills, like it just,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: the fairy tales of what beautiful season this could be
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: and what a great night to kick it off. Like
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: that was awesome. That was as epic as it gets
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: when it comes to you know, production, production and, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: work of like being an entertainment piece. Like if you
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: had nothing to do with football and just watch last night,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: like you would have been entertained by like the energy
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that that broadcast produced.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. No, it was, it was electric to even watch.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: And like, I just, I thought that just, I just,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I just, I didn't see any way that we're going
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: to lose the game. So I don't know any other
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: way to say it. I thought that, that they're going
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to get caught up. Obviously the bills run out to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: a 21 Oh lead. Again, Denver made it a little
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: bit closer than it needed to be in respects to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the fact that they got a chance to double dip.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Bills go up 27-7 right before the half, and then
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Detroit grabs a field goal, and then they score a
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: touchdown with their double dip to start the third quarter.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So it made it look a little closer than it
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: was at 27-17, but it really wasn't there. Bills come
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: right back, score another touchdown to go up 34-17, and
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: for me, it was over at that point in time
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: for me. I thought the game was over entering the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So You know, kudos to Detroit. They didn't
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: give up or anything like that. A Dan Campbell team
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: would never give up. So we know that that's part
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of their DNA. But I don't think anything was going
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to be ruining our night last night. Again, it's a
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: theme and we're going to talk about it here in
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: a minute. But Josh Allen, surgical. Josh Allen, once again,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: in control of the offense completely. And I'm not, again,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: when I say control, I'm not talking about This is
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: my read. I, you know, this is my first progression
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: throw here. He is, I feel like he's above the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: X's and O's now. He understands situation. He understands time
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and place. I watched a beautiful cut up on the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Palmer from last night and how Josh
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: read the safety, saw how the safety was biting down
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and like literally in a split second, double, double pump,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: like clutched and then just threw it to Palmer who
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: was wide open. And, like, he already had to know
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: that it was coming soon just by watching the safety.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: But you got to stand in there. You got to
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: be ready to take the hit. He is. He's always
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: willing to put his body on the line. And I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: was like, man, that's some high-level shit right there. So
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, DT. I'm running out of adjectives to
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: describe this dude. He's locked in. I felt like he
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: was locked in going into the Houston game. And he's
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: carrying it over. Nine touchdowns in two weeks, DT. no
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: turnovers for all you fucking haters out there that want
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: to call him, you know, a turnover merchant and all
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: this other stuff. He's got, he's got, yeah, I just,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I love the way that he is controlling the offense
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and he is in command of everything around, around him.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: And it shows on the field, man, a 21, nothing
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: lead to start the game. And you're only get the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: second quarter barely got underway. Like I, I, I, I
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: didn't maybe expect that, but I definitely expected a win,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: but man, they, they, they started out guns blazing. It was,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it was ferocious from the start.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: If you were playing against Josh Allen and fantasy football
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: last night, you were down 40, nothing at halftime. Like
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: this dude was, is, is gonna, you know, screw everybody
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: at fantasy this year. He's putting up 50 points a week. The,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: the way to come out guns blazing with that script
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: of being in control. And it was like, we were
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: toying with them. I mean, we were so ahead of
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: that defense. It was until the third drive, I think,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: before we were even in third down. The way we
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: were able to pick up chunk plays and move the,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: everybody was wide open for the first three drives of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the game. And that's, you know, maybe a credit to
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: DJ Moore, as we've been talking about, and maybe a
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: credit to just Joe Brady finding some new things and
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: opening the playbook up to where he wants it. But
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: It was so easy. The layups were back, Rob. The
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: layups were back in the first couple weeks and definitely
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: last night in the first half of this game. Chunk
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: plays with James Cook. Josh just being in so much
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: control on the edge of like, you have no chance
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: out there if you're a defender. If he's coming out
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: around the edge, you know he's pump faking, but you're
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: still like, you've got to stay there because he could
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: rip it 60 yards across the field. It is insane
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: to have just toys with guys on the outside and
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: You know, but sometimes he pays the price. And going
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: in for that last touchdown when he gets tackled out
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: of bounds there, that was kind of, they didn't talk
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: too much about that. But I'm in that dude's face.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: That's a little late for a face of the league
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: to be taking a hit out of bounds in the
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: end zone. But other than that, I mean, he didn't
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: take too many licks per se. Even the pressures in
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: the pocket, he was getting rid of the ball and
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: just still stay on his, on his feet. Most of
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the time, if it's the alleged flu game, who knows
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: now they're kind of contradicting it saying he's, he's he
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: was all right, but the alleged flu game, he got
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: some IVs just like everybody, Joe Brady says. So we'll
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: see about that, but I don't care if it was
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: flu healthy or not. He's a machine. He can't be stopped.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: And This is a guy who is so ahead of
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: the defenses, it's going to be a real tall task
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: to show up against him each week. Everybody's getting the ball.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Everybody's communicating to be a playmaker on this offense. I mean,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: nobody has a bad note, right? The offensive line let
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: up a few tough looks against some really good pass rushers,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: but overall... Offensive line strong. The openings are there for running.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: James Cook, you know, got shut down a little in
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the second half, but comes out and bust a buck
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: 40 and a touchdown last night when we need him most.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: You got Keon Coleman picking up clutch, possessional catches all
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: night long, you know, all night long making plays. Shakir
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: down the stretch, even though he should have had that
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: third down one to really finish it before that, but
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: had the screen later in the game and really started
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: off early with a lot of Shakir and both tight
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: ends getting involved. So It's no bad notes for anybody
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: on the offense through the first two games. It's everybody's
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: going up to their, you know, what we need them
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: And then. Yeah, no, I mean, you're, I liked that
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: you talked about Keon because, you know, DJ Moore goes
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: down with that shoulder injury. Again, it's the AC joint bills, mafia,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: nickel city crucial. It looks like it's going to be okay.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: He may miss the chargers game, but there's a chance
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: with this long 10 day layoff that he could still
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: be ready for it, but they'll, they'll probably be smart
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: about it and slow play him. I heard something about
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Brady saying that they're going to slow play him and
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Ed Oliver. Again, Ed Oliver was hurt right before kickoff,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: so that was unfortunate. But we'll see. They should slow
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: play that kind of stuff right now. At this point
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in time, I think with three straight home games, you
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: slow play it. You don't rush anybody back because it's
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a long season. It's a war of attrition. So I
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: do like that. Keon did step up and made some catches,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: six catches for 63 yards. DT, I mean, we talked
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: about it, so I do want to talk about it
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: before we talk about the defense. and our concerns going forward,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I do want to talk about vibes. And I, cause
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's important. And I, and I know that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of people on the Twitter space and stuff
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: like that got mad at me and stuff like, listen,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers, but you, if
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: anybody has listened to Dion Dawkins, the last two games,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: now he came on show up and bulldog on WGR
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: talked about offensive coach and how it's just, it's a
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: different philosophy and, He made a kind of a clunky reference.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: He was saying like good guy, bad guy or something
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: like he was trying to do an Avengers type of thing.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: So it kind of made it seem like the defense
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: was the bad guy, but that's not really what he meant.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Then last night in the locker room, just his praise
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: is profusive of Joe Brady. And then talking about, I've
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: never had more fun playing football. He said, I've never
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: had more fun. I'm like, well, you know why? He's like, listen, man,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this is like. I've never had
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: this before. We've always been with McDermott. He's like, and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: this is not a shot against McD, that's my guy,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: but if you have a defensive coach, he leans defense.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Now I have an offensive coach who leans offense. He's like,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I've never had more fun playing football. DT, I refuse,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I refuse to believe that that means nothing. The vibes
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: around this team are different. It is palpable. It is
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: clear to see. If you listen to interviews, if you
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: listen to some of the players talking, I'm not just
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: talking about just Alec Anderson who didn't like McD. I'm
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: talking about all the guys, Deion, Even Josh, they're trying
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to be respectful, and they're trying to make sure that
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: they're not throwing dirt on McD, but they feel better, man.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Sometimes if you've got a tight-ass boss and you go,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it just makes your job harder. It makes
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: your job maybe less enjoyable, whatever the case may be.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I feel like the actual team is just free, DT.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: And we talked about in the offseason that maybe, you know,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: what could happen, what could the vibes be from Joe
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Brady taking over this job. DT. Five days, two wins.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: You listen to the players, man. They are excited to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: go to work for this man. And I don't have–
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not shying away from it. I'm not trying to
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: say anything other than what I'm saying. I think that
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: they enjoy going to work. I think that they enjoy
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: having an offensive guy. And I think that it can
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: go– I think it can go really far for this
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: team this year to have those type of good vibes
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: around the locker room week in, week out, day in,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: day out. These guys go to work every day. We
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: don't go to work.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: It truly, it truly shows it on the field too.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're, they're, they're flowing out there. What it's,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: it's direct result there.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: They're relaxed. They're having a good time. They're putting up
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: 40 and hanging it on dudes every week. Like that's,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: it should be direct correlation. Let's hope it stands up.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, we had a lot more data, you know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: with the McDermott era where we were successful and won
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of games with that mentality. Didn't ever win
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: the big ones, but won a lot of games with
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: that mentality. It hasn't, we don't have that sample yet
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: with Joe Brady, but so far, if this is the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: vibe and we're throwing up 40 every week, I sure
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: as hell like, this is the most fun I could
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: have too. If we go, you know, if this happens
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: all season, hell yeah.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just, I thought that it was striking to
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: me that Dion, cause we know Dion. One thing about
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: him is he's authentic. So he's going to tell you
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: what he thinks. He's going to tell you how he feels.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: He's not going to bullshit around. And just like last night,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I listened to his post and he was just, just
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: like gushing. Like he's like, he's like, this is the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: most fun I've ever had playing football. This is the
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: most fun I've ever had. And I understand that it's
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: correlated with scoring points, and obviously offenses want to score points,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: but I also think that there's a deeper meaning behind
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: it where, yes, what you just said, DT, and everybody's
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit looser. We don't have to walk around
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: like Alec Anderson said with our assholes tight all day long.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: We don't have to do that type of stuff. And
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I just think that that matters. We talked about that
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: back when McDermott was fired and Joe Brady was brought
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: on and then Alec Anderson made those comments. But I
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: do think that they ring true to a certain degree
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that there's other factors that go
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: into your performance on the field. And it's no different
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: for people than your performance at work. Relationships are important.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: How you feel about your boss, how you feel about
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: your coworkers, all of that type of stuff matters. Yes,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: so when they talk about McDermott and culture and stuff
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: like that, of course that mattered because we had Rex
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Ryan who was running a fucking frat house and we're
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: swinging from the chandeliers and everybody could do whatever the
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: fuck they wanted to do. So of course it was
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: important for McDermott to come in and kind of set
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the tone, set the culture, make it more business-like. Now
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: these guys are at a point where your core guys
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: are old enough, DT, where they know how to take
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: care of their business. They know how to come to
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: work on time. They know how to do the right things.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: They know how to lock in, focus in team meetings
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and different things like that. Make it fun for them.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Make it fun where they feel loose and stuff like that.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: And I think that Joe Brady is hitting on all
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: of the right notes right now. Again, like you said-
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: There's not enough sample size, but I'm buying in, DT.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I really am.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Another point on that, I'm critical of Josh Allen, the
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: golden retriever energy sometimes, right?
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: You are.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: But it is who he is, and he is his
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: best when he is kind of goofy and having fun.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: But now we talked about he is in control. He
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to worry about the little shit. So he
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: is able to– I'm saying– cut corners or anything like that,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: but be a little more like happy, happy, go lucky,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: but still dominate.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: And so he hits, he can be the golden retriever
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: and be a dominant, dominant force. And if that's the
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: best case scenario, that's, that's what we're working with. So
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I think that vibe is very important when we talk
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: about that whole connection coming through and being fullness and
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: the fullness of his life, if that is what's needed
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: to be happy now, and that's his best performance.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Let's rock. Yeah.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm down with it. Yeah. I mean, just, I was
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: just telling Bill's Mafia, pay attention when you listen to
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: some of these press conferences, stuff like that. You can
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: hear the difference. That's all. And again, I'm not trying
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: to throw shade because he's gone. It's over in that respect.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: But I do think that some of it matters. Now,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: as we wrap up tonight, DT, okay, we'll give our concerns.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: We can't just have a rosy episode where we just
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: pretend like we have blinders on. The defense, you already
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: spoke to it. Averaging 31 points, give it up. Shout
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: out to my boy Zach in the comments talking about,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: you know, are you worried about Benford? Listen, I think
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: that I'm, I don't even know if I'm worried. Worried
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: to the point where I understand, I can raise my
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: hand and I've been a football fan long enough to
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: know that giving up 31 points per game It's not
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: something that's sustainable if you want to win a Super Bowl.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I will gift everyone that want to be on the
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: other side of that table and play doubles advocate. I
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: understand that giving up 31 points per game is not
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: sustainable for a defense. Even Jim Leonard himself today said
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: that his team is, his defense is now, it's boom
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: or bust right now, and that's not acceptable. So he realizes,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I warned you, Bills Mafia, I warned you, Nickel City crew,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: to start the year that we were going to have
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: to give them some grace and ease into it. He
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: kind of let us know that he doesn't have all
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the players he needs. not making excuses. He's just letting
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you know that it may not look the way I
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: have it in my head and vision or what you
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: may have saw in Denver or when I was at
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin right off the bat. You might have to give
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: him some grace. I'm willing to give him some grace
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: because of 17. DT, what's your most glaring concern? I
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: would say that I want to affect the quarterback. Now,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: we had a couple sacks last night. Chubb, I think,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: had a sack and a half. Again, Rousseau was two
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: sacks again. And I think that Hoyt had one as well.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I want to affect the quarterback. I think that's the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: most important thing to do, but I don't expect six
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: sacks every game. You know what I mean? Like that's
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: not something that I'm expecting. I'm not expecting six sacks
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: a game. So for me, I'm going to give them
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: that grace that they need. The secondary, there's shit to
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: clean up from the Houston game, and there was shit
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: to clean up from last night. Again, I think that
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: there were score effects. I think that the double dip
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: at halftime DT with that 10 points makes it way
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: closer than it was. You take away one of those
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: scoring drives, whether it was a touchdown or the field goal.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I think you could have actually broke Detroit's will in
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the second half. And they may not have even, you know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to have much more fight again, shout out to
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Dan Campbell for keeping them locked in and engaged. I
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: don't know DT, the secondary needs work. D Alfred has
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: not looked good. You know, yes, Zach, you're right. Benford
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: is not, not look great. I mean, he's covering Nico Collins. Who's,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: you know, a foot taller than him and, and as a,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: as a, as a stud, but Amon Ross St. Brown
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: went off last night. And I know that Benford wasn't
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: just covering him exclusively, but yes, I, I, the, the secondary,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: they've got work to do. I can, I can concede
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: that they've got work to do.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: The, the defense. I mean, if, if Josh Allen is
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: the best thing ever for an offensive coordinator, he's also
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: the best thing ever for a defensive coordinator on your team,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: because if you, if you want to talk about having
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: a nice little leash as a defensive coordinator, you, have
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen on the other side of the ball. So
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Jim Leonard's in probably the best-case scenario when it comes
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: to that. So there is a lot of leeway, I agree,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: and we do have to give him some time to
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: get rolling. I mean, this is glass half full of me,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: as always, right, Rob? But the defense is just, it
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: looks like it's a new scheme and they're kind of
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: flying around differently, and they are close. And a lot
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: of times they are close. They have rigged havoc a
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: few times where we've seen some different pressures we haven't
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: seen in a long time. but they've also been close
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: on a lot of plays. I mean, Jared golf was
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: putting some dimes out there last night in spots that like,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if Josh is putting them
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: in some of those spots, right? Like in those, that
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: touchdown to, uh, uh, I'm on raw, like in the
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: corner and, and that pass on fourth and 18 down
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: the sideline.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, he's just, he's a dealer.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: They're putting there in, in, uh, obviously Stroud and week one, uh, was,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: was working that too. But I think again, defensive line wise, uh,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: The first game, they didn't get bullied too bad. It
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: was okay. They got the sacks and made the stops
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: when they needed late in the stretch.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Second half was better.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Last night, they started big. We needed that to kind
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: of put the foot on the throw and let the
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: offense gain that big lead, and the defense made the
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: stops early to let us do that. And in the middle,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of garbage time in the middle
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: of the game, if that makes sense, right?
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I know what you mean.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: And that two-for-one was obviously unacceptable. First and five with
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: 50 seconds left. they can't get the ball back more
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: or less, get points out of it, you know? And,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: and so that's, that's on the offense really. But, but defensively,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: you know, they, they got ran on a little more
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: last night, but it's Jameer Gibbs, probably the best back
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: in the league. Like, right. So it's something, but this
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: schedule as well, Rob, you play these teams each week. We've,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: we've talked about it every week we're playing studs. And
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: so it is going to be like, it can't just
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: be the excuse for playing a good player every week.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: And so I agree. I give them some grace and
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I give Jim Leonard some grace. And I do give
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: grace to these players where Christian Benford didn't get beat
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: for 140 yards and two touchdowns with Amon Rod last night.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: He wasn't on them all game and there was some
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: garbage time to him and some miraculous work as well. So,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: and Nico Collins just being a big bully as he
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: is in week one. So it's a tough, tough outing.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, Harrison, I think is, should hopefully be, catch
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: up a little. I, uh, the rookie from Ohio state,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: both games, but he, he plays to like hard, you know,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: he plays hard. Um, so I like that. And obviously
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: there's been some promise from the safety. So it's been
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: a little loose. Obviously they're letting points up. I don't
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: think it was a 31 point showing from the defense
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: last night. It was a lot better. It's probably like
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: a 24 to 21. And I'll take that every week,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: you know, with, uh, even with no turnovers, I'll take
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: the stops. Uh, so it, I, I'm not, worried necessarily
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: they need some time but I will hold true to
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: it can't just be every week oh we're playing a
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: good player a good team so we're getting burned like
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: eventually we're gonna have to do some things to make
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: some stops and we are making the stops so far
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: but it will bite us if we're letting up 30
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: points a game that's obvious and obviously Jim Leonard knows
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: that and all the players on the D know that
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: take it cautious with those with those injuries with that
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Oliver but coming out strong, we talked about some bright
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: points of Greg Rousseau being probably the top player for
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: the defensive player of the year right now, if the
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: award was today, and Deion Walker playing great too, so
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of room for improvement, it seems
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: in a few plays, like that one to Laporta, they
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: were right there, Bernard was right there to try to
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: knock it down, they did stuff him a few times
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: in the backfield, and Goff really was never comfortable back
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: there either last night, so we had more pressure, I'll
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: give him that, he just, you know, he made some
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: great throws, so it's got to get better, but I'm
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: not too critical in seeing the 62 points and like,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: oh my God, 62 points. I think it's a lot
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: less than that. And obviously 17 on the other side
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: gives you a ton of leeway for Jim.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. I agree. Now, as we wrap
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: up tonight, the nickel city crew tailgate report is presented

  Speaker 1: you were more eventful again than I was, so I'll
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: let you go second. I mean, over here at the
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Crippen Household, It was really cool, DT. I told you
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Ivy is going to be turning two next month. So
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: it's way different than last year. She was born on
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: a Bills game. She was born the Monday night game
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: against the Jets last year. So I was telling jokes
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: that how I remember when she was born. And we're
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: literally at the hospital, obviously. And like, I didn't say
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: a word. And I got her. We're doing our skin
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: to skin where she's, you know, getting on me and
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: we're getting a chance to bond. And I'm just, you know, just.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Nice and quiet, not trying to wake up any of
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the babies across the hall or anything like that. I
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: didn't say a word in that hospital when she was born.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Last night, much different. She is almost two. She had
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: on her Bill stuff. We posted it on Facebook. She
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: had on her Bill's attire. We had the Zuba's lights.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: You know my Zuba's lights. I had the Zuba's lights
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: on the house. She got a kick out of that
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: because of the shadows and stuff. She thought that was
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: pretty dope. And then when the game started, she didn't
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: stay up too late, but I mean, she was around.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: We scored so damn quick. I mean, we were up 21-0.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: She saw about 14 points for sure. It's two touchdowns.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: She loves the shout song, DT. Uncle DT, she loves
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: the shout song. She asked for it on regular car
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: rides to drop her brother off at school. She asked
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: for the shout song. So when we were playing that
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: after touchdown, she was enjoying the hell out of that.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Her favorite part is at the end, the Bills make
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: one shout. She loves that. So we had a great time.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: We did hibachi. homemade hibachi. That was really nice. That
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: turned out great, man. The steak and the shrimp and
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: all the, you know, the vegetables for the rice. So
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: we had a great time last night, man. We did,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: we did it up hibachi and, and Ivy got a
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: chance to see a couple of touchdowns. Our first, you know,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: our first couple of touchdowns, the other ones she never,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: she was way too little last year. So it was,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun, man. I was, it was,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: it was really cool seeing her dance with her brothers.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: It was cool.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: That's great. And you had Bobby's birthday last week, right?
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Last week, yeah, man.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: For the Texans.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes. We haven't been on. Yes, so it
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: worked out. The Blue Cheeseburgers worked out last week for
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: the season opener. Everything was great. Bobby had a great time.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Said that the burgers were righteous. So, yes, I forgot
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: about that. We haven't been on since the Houston game. So, yeah,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: the birthday for Bobby, 15 years old, freshman on the block. Yes,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: we had a great time. Blue Cheeseburgers turned out great,
• 47:30

• 47:33
  Speaker 1: was with her mother last week. I got her every
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: other weekend for the long weekend. So she's with me
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: this weekend. So it was perfect, man. We had her
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: last night. It was perfect.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Let's go. So Ivy, you're going to see a lot more.

  Speaker 2: so the Vikings was at 430, so it was just
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: great emotion, great things all day, the Bills win, the
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Vikings win, so it was, we were loud and loud
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: and proud on Cheney Road, shout out, great first week

  Speaker 2: to kick it off, and they'll be doing it every Sunday,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Cheney Road, check them out, they do it like Jeff
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: and Ann, but relay that into a short kind of
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: hectic week where in the transportation business when the bills
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: are a hot commodity nowadays, right, Rob? So when the
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: bills are making these big primetime games, that brings a
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: lot of people into the area, and a lot of
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: people need transport. So we're busy. We're hectic. Cars are
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: on the move all the time. So it was a
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: crazy week, but a short week, my allegiance to the red, white,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: and blue, baby, the Buffalo Bills. So we took a
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: couple days off yesterday. Went down to the gate with,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: you know, shout out Coach Ben and Anna Kay down
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: in Erie. Okay, there we go. Coach Ben's got ball practice.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: You know, he's head ball coach, Northwestern Wildcats. So he
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: had practice after school. He was going to be late.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: So I had the day off. I told Anna Kay
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: and our boy Mike down there, you know, friend of
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: the show. We know Mike well. I just went down
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: and picked them up in Erie because we had the day.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: So went and got them so they could come up
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: for the tailgate.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, beautiful.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: We shot up 90, ripped into our OG lot. We
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: were contemplating going to another location or maybe being on
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: the upstairs of that lot, the upper shelf, because Kenny
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: says that's where he was at in the preseason and
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: it was good. But they opened that lot at noon,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: and we were all, excuse me, getting there at about 2. Okay, okay.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: So it was going to be a tough, you know,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: to get a spot up there. So we just went
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: down to the old fateful, the bottom tree line.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Word. You were right in that spot.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: And did our thing. And did our thing. We were
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: missing Coach Ben. We were missing, you know, the DJ.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: But we still had– shout out Kayla brought a big–
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: a nice big speaker. We still could throw it down
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit. So we got after it. And, you know, Kenny,
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: as always– You know, Shout Out was a big success.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: The best tailgate stuff, all the smoked sausage wrapped in bacon.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: What are they called? The shotgun shells. Stuffed peppers, pulled pork,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: the chicken wing dip. You know, we had the games galore.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: You know, we were obviously the clubbed up. Everybody wanted
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: to be a part. We had tailgates from both sides
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: coming in to join up with us by the end.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Because they know, you know, we do it right. We
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: throw it down the real way. We throw it down
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: the real way at Club Dub. And we did it right.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: It was a good week one kickoff. Everyone, the reviews
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: of great experience inside that stadium. Seeing it in the
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: magic of it. And, you know, just the loud things.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Significantly louder. Significantly louder than the old one. It's going
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: to be awesome. So can't wait to get in with you, Rob.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: We'll start teasing here in a few weeks. We've got plans.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be a good one. But a
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: great first tailgate. Shout out to everybody involved. And we're
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: at it. 2-0. Two great tailgates. Two great dubs. 2-0, baby.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: And now we can kind of sit back and relax
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: for a nice long weekend of stressless football. Yeah, man.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: We really can. I can't wait to enjoy tomorrow and Sunday.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I've got all the babies this weekend.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: So I get a chance to just kind of kick
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: back and enjoy them. And it's stress-free. I like when
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: it's stress-free. because sometimes the bills can take you through
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: week one. I was like, what in the actual fuck
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: is going on? Like, are we going to lose this?
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm so happy to be to it on DT.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: You are absolutely right. I mean, I did want to
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: say this. Shout out, 400 people, DT, watching on a
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: TGIF Friday. Like, you guys can be doing anything. I
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: really do appreciate, and I got to say something about it, man.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: The Twitter out there, man, y'all support Nickel City Crew,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: and I don't want anybody to think that I do
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: not see it. I don't, I can't call out all
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: of your names right now because it just would be
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: too many. But I really, I mean, we already saw
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: my boy Mags in here earlier tonight, but like, I
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: appreciate my Twitter family, man. Again, shout out to Whittle
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: and Beyond. They had us on DT the other night
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: on Coast to Coast. We've been on that show. They've
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: been on our show before. So I appreciate that. And
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: like the Twitter following, man, y'all, y'all back up Nickel
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: City crew. Y'all look out for us. Just, I can't, Nautica.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I can't, if I go through the names, I'd be
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: here all night. So I appreciate you guys. I appreciate
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: the love. from all of you guys, because I do,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sincere about it. DT knows it because he was
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: in the beginning when I was doing it by myself.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: I always would think about the bills, always would think
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: about ways I wanted them to improve. I always would
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: think about what I would do if I was the
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: GM or things I would do differently. And it was
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: just all in my head. And I'm like, I am
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: going to get this stuff out there into the ether.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to literally get my bills thoughts and
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: say them out loud. And like I said, I started
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: the show right before perfection in the park. If you
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: check the archives, the first episode was called Minus Five Degrees,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: and DT came on a couple weeks later, and then
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: he kept coming back on, then he came on again,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: and I was like, dude, you might as well be
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: my co-host. We both did broadcasting in school and college
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: and shit. Just come on. You're my boy. Be my co-host.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: And I couldn't imagine DT. I mean, season six. It's
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: fucking wild. We got a thousand followers now on Twitter, DT.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: We're I just, I just wanted to give a shout
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: out man to the, that just, I know that other
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: people catch us on different platforms, but like the Twitter people,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: you guys are really showing out and I really do
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: appreciate you guys for sure.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Shout out to everybody for sure. Everyone that reached out,
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: it's a growing brand of, you know, it's, it's built
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: on mafia. It's built on family, right? The nucleus of
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: it is our friends and family and the extension of that.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: And everyone we've met as has been a part of
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: that too, and been such a great open, fun dialogue
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: to be a part of Bill's Mafia. And I wouldn't
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: rather be with next to anybody, but you, what a,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: what a teammate, what a, what a friend, what a brother.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: So I love it. Shout out to the fans. Shout
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: out to you, Rob. We're, you know, we're in that
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: flow state too. We're in that 17 flow state as
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: well as.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: The progress we've made and what we do.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: And when it's still just for fun and, and so
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: therapeutic for us, but Uh, now it's, uh, the improvement
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: we made has been, been great and inspirational and, uh,
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: you know, keep, let's keep rocking.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, let's keep rocking. And I, and not throwing no,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: you know, thanks for my, my YouTube followers. Thank you
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: for the Facebook followers. We appreciate all those guys out there.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: We appreciate all of, uh, all of it, but yeah,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: the Twitter folk y'all been just showing out. And I, uh,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I just had to say that, listen, I guess DT,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: we relax. We, I guess hate watch D I don't even,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: I don't even have any hate watching. I mean, I
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: just want to watch football. I don't, I'm not worried
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: about anybody other than us. I think that that's what
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: happens when you've got a really good team is that
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: you stop worrying about the competition. You stop worrying about, well,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: this matchup and this matchup, and you just focus. We
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: got to stay healthy and we've got to focus on
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: ourselves and everything else takes care of the, of the,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: of the rest. And I, I truly believe that I
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: know that it's two games and I don't want to
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: put the cart before the horse, but I think that
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: this could be our year if we stay healthy, number one,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: because we know that injuries always snake bite us. If
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: we stay healthy and then, I don't know, man. There's
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: just different vibes, man. I talked about it earlier. It's
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: just different vibes. I can't explain it any better than
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I tried to tonight. There's different vibes around the team.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: And if you don't believe me, Bill's Mafia, Nickel City Crew,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: listen to some of the players talk, man. It's like
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: a collective. But not a side that, okay, now we
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: don't have to take our jobs seriously. That's not the same.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: It's like a pressure group. cooker valve has been released
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: on and they can just like, just chill, man. Like,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: let's go do our job. Let's go do what we
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: are ready to do and what we've been tuned in
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: tune to do. And I, I'm, I can't wait to
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: see the ride.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: All vibes to two and O and they're taking it
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: week by week, right? Each week is one to know
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: each week is one to know. And, and this is
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: a schedule that you're going to have to do that.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: But if we're making, if we're cutting into good teams
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: like this week by week, it's going to be a
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: awesome year. And, I'm not afraid of anybody when it
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: comes down to that. It's going to be kind of
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: a light slate by always anyway on Sunday. Not too
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: much going on. You've got the Bengals and Texans. That's
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: probably the best slate during the day. And then obviously
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs come back again at night and the Rams
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: on Monday. But realistically, a good day. Enjoy it. watch
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin not get killed hopefully tomorrow on national television
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: down in Ole Miss. That'll be a nice nightcap to
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: college football and a few other games of college football
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: as well. The weather's kind of changing into a nice crisp.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: It's not cold yet, but up here in the Northeast, Robert,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: we're into a nice evening getting into the 50s. I'm
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: still looking forward to hopefully cleaning the place up, cracking
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: a few windows, and Listening to, you know, college ball
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: kind of ring through the house with the breeze behind it.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: That's a nice little relaxing day for a nickel city crew.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: So maybe not, maybe not for you. Keep the air condition.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: For the Northeast nickel city crewers that that can be it,
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: but that's just going on. Like I'm saying the vibes,
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: the vibe of this team, hopefully the vibe of this team,
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: hopefully needing to relax into this week and a half
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: stretch and get healthy where they are banged up in
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: the first two weeks. And hopefully DJ Moore is not,
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: a long-term thing, and we get into a 1-0 again
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: against the Chargers next week, and then again in the
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Patriots the week after. Our schedule's picking up, too, so
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: we're ready to rock. I think it's a perfect time
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: for a nice little... That was a stamp. This is
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: who we are this year. Josh Allen's a different person,
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: and here we go. End of week and a half,
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: week three. We'll see you in a bit.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man. I'm down, man. We've got 10 days off,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: so again, we've got Bills 1 o'clock against the Chargers again.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Three straight home games. Last night's game, the Chargers, and
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: then the Patriots the following week in week four, so enjoy.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: College football, DT's right. Enjoy college football tomorrow. Enjoy the
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: NFL slate stress-free on Sunday. Listen, out there, we appreciate
• 59:34

• 59:36
  Speaker 1: to say, DT. I think we covered it all. Listen,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: spread love out there, not hate. Plenty of hate going
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: around in this world right now. Don't be a part

  Speaker 1: of it. Spread love. These were my Bills thoughts said
• 59:46
