- 2:04Speaker 4: Rob?
- 2:05Speaker 3: Going to be back at you?
- 2:06Speaker 1: I mean a week within a game directly after we
- 2:10Speaker 1: get off Nickel City Crew last week, and then we
- 2:12Speaker 1: had the weekend and relax and seeing the competition you
- 2:15Speaker 1: know too, and all stack and wins. Where else would
- 2:19Speaker 1: you rather be?
- 2:21Speaker 2: I love it? I love it. Yeah.
- 2:22Speaker 4: I wouldn't rather be anywhere else than than right here
- 2:24Speaker 4: right now for sure. And I'm I'm really excited for
- 2:27Speaker 4: tonight's episode because I wanted to chop a couple of
- 2:29Speaker 4: things up with you, DT and get your opinions on
- 2:32Speaker 4: just you know, the AFC and how it's looking and
- 2:34Speaker 4: different things like that. Now, before we get to that,
- 2:36Speaker 4: I'm just recapping last Thursday night. You're absolutely right, DT,
- 2:40Speaker 4: and I had a chance to just sit back with
- 2:43Speaker 4: the rest of Bill's mafia, and that was a that
- 2:45Speaker 4: was an asking, DT, and it was quick, and it
- 2:47Speaker 4: was fast, and and it was a situation where Bills
- 2:50Speaker 4: took control of the game so quick. You know, you
- 2:52Speaker 4: look at the stats for Josh Allen after the game
- 2:54Speaker 4: and the offense and it was it was really truncated
- 2:56Speaker 4: because the fact that we played on so many short fields.
- 2:58Speaker 4: But they just got all from another masterful performance by
- 3:02Speaker 4: by McDermott and that defense.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I mean, he is something about just something about Miami.
- 3:07Speaker 4: I don't I don't know what it is, man, but
- 3:08Speaker 4: he's got their number and he's just he's all over
- 3:10Speaker 4: to a he's all over that scheme. And as great
- 3:13Speaker 4: as Mike McDaniels and I like him as an offensive
- 3:15Speaker 4: coordinator and as a play caller, he's got no answers
- 3:17Speaker 4: for mcdermot's ty. I mean, injuries, nothing, none of that
- 3:19Speaker 4: should even matters.
- 3:20Speaker 2: It's crazy they matter.
- 3:22Speaker 3: The magnum opus last year.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I mean all the memes of Josh Allen being the
- 3:26Speaker 1: Dolphins dad, and I mean Sean McDermott's got to get
- 3:29Speaker 1: a little of that too. You know, this guy's dominant
- 3:32Speaker 1: against the Finns and that was the last you know,
- 3:35Speaker 1: going back to when we broke the playoffs route, we
- 3:37Speaker 1: had to beat the Finns on New Year's Eve that
- 3:39Speaker 1: night to get in, Rob, you know, yes, So McDermott
- 3:42Speaker 1: has had just as much the success as seventeen obviously
- 3:46Speaker 1: and the defense outstanding work.
- 3:49Speaker 3: I mean, I have you know, some uh some military.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Friends, and they told me of a special op operation
- 3:56Speaker 1: they watched one time from a boat.
- 3:58Speaker 5: We're a special Navy Seals.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Team went in, you know, floated in at night and
- 4:03Speaker 1: took out pirates.
- 4:04Speaker 5: Off this like big barnship shooting.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Fire one shot and took down all the pirates and
- 4:10Speaker 1: fire one shot.
- 4:11Speaker 3: And last Thursday, I mean reminded me of that story.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Rob.
- 4:15Speaker 1: We're the powerful special off team. We can go in,
- 4:19Speaker 1: take care of business and not even fighter a shot.
- 4:21Speaker 1: So Sean mcdermot's and Dolphins Daddy, Josh Allens and Dolphins Daddy,
- 4:25Speaker 1: whoever the hell is playing on our defense.
- 4:27Speaker 5: Is a Dolphins daddy, love me, gotta love it.
- 4:31Speaker 4: I mean, you have to love it, and you know
- 4:33Speaker 4: it's it's just awesome watching the Bills get down like that.
- 4:36Speaker 4: And you know the funny thing is, you know, Ruble
- 4:38Speaker 4: Nard goes down and like we're texting each other and
- 4:41Speaker 4: that we're in the group chat with all of our
- 4:42Speaker 4: tailgate buddies and they're like, what is going on, and like,
- 4:45Speaker 4: you know, it's just the next man up thing is.
- 4:48Speaker 4: I know it's cliche, and I know everybody talks about
- 4:50Speaker 4: it all the time, but it's a situation where something
- 4:52Speaker 4: about McDermott and that defense, whether it's secondary and JaMarcus
- 4:55Speaker 4: Ingram cam Lewis who's playing lights out in replace of
- 4:58Speaker 4: Teraron Johnson at the Nickels spot, it doesn't matter. I
- 5:01Speaker 4: mean even you know, Bailen Spector is baile in Spector
- 5:03Speaker 4: and you know he's going to have his ups and
- 5:04Speaker 4: downs of different things like that. But Dorian Williams looking
- 5:07Speaker 4: like the game is finally you know, slowing down, like
- 5:09Speaker 4: he's actually processing things and not running like a chicken
- 5:12Speaker 4: with his head cut off.
- 5:13Speaker 2: They just he just Sean mcdermery plays all the.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Right notes man on that defense and especially when it
- 5:18Speaker 4: comes to Miami, and I mean ten ten points for
- 5:20Speaker 4: that oppotent offense.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Even before two it got hurt.
- 5:22Speaker 4: I mean, it was just a situation where it was
- 5:24Speaker 4: just not even close and they they just got after
- 5:27Speaker 4: him right from the get go, and it was I
- 5:29Speaker 4: know that you know two had that overthrow to start
- 5:32Speaker 4: the interception with with Benford, but even after that, it
- 5:34Speaker 4: was just it was just we're all over man. Even
- 5:37Speaker 4: the front line was playing well.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when that's the beauty of kind of
- 5:41Speaker 1: the Seawn McDermott defense. When you've seen kind of weakness
- 5:44Speaker 1: in one spot, another spot kind of pulls through and
- 5:47Speaker 1: helps it out. And you know when Terrell Lenard, how
- 5:50Speaker 1: are these linebackers going to cover across the middle? And
- 5:52Speaker 1: the defensive.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Line came up and played played great. You know, they
- 5:55Speaker 3: finally got.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Getting pressure up in the middle with Oliver and day
- 5:57Speaker 1: Day and von Miller looked at the bold I mean
- 6:01Speaker 1: fast forward when Skylar Thompson comes in and step fourth
- 6:04Speaker 1: down when they're going.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Down like in goal or whatever, or at the fifteen.
- 6:09Speaker 5: And Boon Millers just ran right around seventy.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Three, the left tackle there he had a rough night anyway.
- 6:15Speaker 1: But you know that's that's what you like to see
- 6:17Speaker 1: from a team that you have a question, big question
- 6:20Speaker 1: in one department, and then the other department steps up
- 6:23Speaker 1: and makes it happen and get the get the bulls.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Up, baby.
- 6:26Speaker 6: How about you, Dan, Let's go the bold you beb Yeah,
- 6:39Speaker 6: I mean cam Lewis bus Ingram.
- 6:42Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Saw the stat today, Uh there the build defensive backs
- 6:47Speaker 1: have allowed zero completions over fifteen yards and have two interceptions.
- 6:52Speaker 5: They have more interceptions and completions over fifteen yards.
- 6:55Speaker 1: So they're locking down the no fly zone, deep in
- 6:58Speaker 1: the deep in that zone and double whatever. The NFL
- 7:04Speaker 1: this week saying, yeah, the case is well and you're gonna.
- 7:09Speaker 5: Have to keep it under these defense because with.
- 7:11Speaker 1: The pressure up front and nothing in the middle, let's
- 7:13Speaker 1: go great, great showing from the defense all the way around.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:18Speaker 4: And it's funny because I was listening to g R
- 7:19Speaker 4: this morning and you know, and they brought up a
- 7:21Speaker 4: good point. You know, Jeremy did Jeremy White that, like,
- 7:24Speaker 4: you know, McDermott's been doing this though, he's been that,
- 7:27Speaker 4: you know, even with Leslie Fraser calling the plays.
- 7:28Speaker 2: It's always been that bend, but don't break.
- 7:30Speaker 4: You know, they want to force those defenses, you know,
- 7:33Speaker 4: excuse me, those offenses to make those methodical long drives
- 7:35Speaker 4: down the field. We're not going to give you anything
- 7:37Speaker 4: up over the top. And it's just been working. He's
- 7:39Speaker 4: been at the forefront of that.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Now.
- 7:40Speaker 4: I know he didn't come up with nickel, but but
- 7:43Speaker 4: the Bills were one of the teams, uh the first
- 7:45Speaker 4: teams that played bass nickel. They're not going to bring
- 7:47Speaker 4: the linebackers out there. They're not going to be slow
- 7:49Speaker 4: on the field. They're gonna be fast quick. You remember
- 7:51Speaker 4: back to Tremaine, Edmunds and Milano. They're going to be
- 7:54Speaker 4: quick on those linebackers. They're going to be put two
- 7:55Speaker 4: of them on the field and then just play coverage behind.
- 7:58Speaker 4: And it's been working. They have been at the forefront
- 7:59Speaker 4: of that for many years now. And when you had
- 8:01Speaker 4: those safeties and those luxuries of hide and Poyer back there,
- 8:04Speaker 4: it made things a lot easier. But I mean, even
- 8:06Speaker 4: the safeties now look good because of the fact that
- 8:08Speaker 4: it's just they're just flying around the ball. And I
- 8:10Speaker 4: think it all starts with the pass rush. Like you
- 8:12Speaker 4: talked about von Miller coming back in. You know, Russeau
- 8:14Speaker 4: having a great year to start off, and it's just
- 8:16Speaker 4: a situation where if those guys are motoring and you've
- 8:19Speaker 4: got four guys up front dt that I mean, I
- 8:21Speaker 4: mean ship the.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Giants won super Bowls off of just that packets ran.
- 8:24Speaker 4: If you've got four guys that can get after the
- 8:25Speaker 4: quarterback and play some defer decent coverage behind them, it's
- 8:29Speaker 4: it's gonna be tough sledding to beat this defense because
- 8:31Speaker 4: they're they seem stout all.
- 8:33Speaker 1: It all hasn't been in one game, rob but everything,
- 8:36Speaker 1: every kind.
- 8:37Speaker 5: Of king you know, chess piece of this defense has
- 8:40Speaker 5: stepped up.
- 8:41Speaker 3: And made it play this year so far.
- 8:43Speaker 1: You know, so that just got to keep coming together
- 8:45Speaker 1: and putting it together as one to come into that
- 8:48Speaker 1: midseason for them and be you know, a top ten
- 8:50Speaker 1: defense that Sean McDermott has used to happen, right, I mean,
- 8:53Speaker 1: it's it's nothing new, we say kind of ahead of
- 8:56Speaker 1: the curve and melt Peiper wasn't bitching about the.
- 8:58Speaker 5: Two high safeties before, oh yeah, when it was just.
- 9:02Speaker 3: The Bills playing this type of d too. So out
- 9:05Speaker 3: of the curve it's going to.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Be kind of in that situation and had that confidence
- 9:08Speaker 1: of you know, that's where a lot of our questions
- 9:10Speaker 1: were this year and kind of being like, Okay, we
- 9:13Speaker 1: don't have.
- 9:13Speaker 3: To answer it.
- 9:13Speaker 1: It just kind of be whoever's out there can make plays.
- 9:16Speaker 1: I can't guarantee that.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how long we can get away
- 9:20Speaker 2: with that.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Put some of these inexperienced guys on tape, you know,
- 9:23Speaker 1: that might be a different story, you know down the
- 9:25Speaker 1: line when you're facing some you know, some top tier
- 9:28Speaker 1: quarterbacks down and late in the season in the NFL
- 9:30Speaker 1: and our schedules, so it's going to.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Be a test. You know, we haven't won anything.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Yet, but it's nice to see after week two that
- 9:38Speaker 1: everybody's kind of stepping in and doing their job and
- 9:41Speaker 1: they're they're looking like the Bills defense as normal.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Yeah they are.
- 9:44Speaker 4: They absolutely are as with the sides of the ball
- 9:46Speaker 4: before we get done with this game. You know, it
- 9:49Speaker 4: was interesting because the way that it's he's your boy.
- 9:52Speaker 4: I mean, if you've been on his train for a
- 9:54Speaker 4: long time with that boy, Jimmy Cooks was just cooking
- 9:56Speaker 4: and he was in the kitchen and he had all
- 9:58Speaker 4: the different season anxiety and everything ready to go, and
- 10:00Speaker 4: he was really out there just chefing up. I mean
- 10:03Speaker 4: three touchdowns in the first half. It was, you know,
- 10:06Speaker 4: two rushing, one receiving. The Josh one was on a
- 10:09Speaker 4: fourth down play. I love the fact that they went
- 10:11Speaker 4: for it on fourth down. Great call. I saw like
- 10:14Speaker 4: a write up, not a write up, but a mock
- 10:16Speaker 4: up from or I think it was Orlowski or amanu
- 10:20Speaker 4: Occho and he was just talking about how like that
- 10:22Speaker 4: scheme that Brady had on that play was perfect, and
- 10:24Speaker 4: it was, you know, the fake routes up, run up
- 10:26Speaker 4: top to rub him off, and then Cook leaking out
- 10:28Speaker 4: the back. It was just perfect, perfectly designed. Your boy,
- 10:32Speaker 4: Jimmy Cooks you call him, and yeah, I mean he's
- 10:34Speaker 4: he's explosive. And if he listen, if the offensive line
- 10:37Speaker 4: is gonna block like that and they're gonna create those
- 10:40Speaker 4: types of big holes and get those double teams and
- 10:41Speaker 4: get to that second level, I mean he's he's dangerous.
- 10:44Speaker 2: I mean, he reminds me a little bit of c. J. Spillert.
- 10:46Speaker 4: He's not as fast as CJ and anything like that,
- 10:48Speaker 4: but he's just got that quick ability where I mean
- 10:51Speaker 4: he just needs a little bit of a crack and
- 10:52Speaker 4: he's gonna be He's gonna be out hey.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Before man, but hey in both leagues of him being
- 10:58Speaker 1: very productive player, the team hasn't got really within twenty
- 11:02Speaker 1: yards of one hundred.
- 11:03Speaker 5: Yards from rushing right.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Had it on purpose and the three touchdowns at a
- 11:07Speaker 3: hell of fantasy. They thank very much. But you know,
- 11:10Speaker 3: Flora are looking good.
- 11:11Speaker 1: That that nice long run he busted. Looks like he
- 11:14Speaker 1: was on a job in Delaware Park.
- 11:15Speaker 3: Rob just kind of working up.
- 11:17Speaker 1: The sideline outright employer, you know, flipping into the.
- 11:20Speaker 5: End zone and good to see.
- 11:22Speaker 1: But that play, that fourth out play, I'd like to,
- 11:24Speaker 1: you know, touch on again the fact that we you know,
- 11:28Speaker 1: went down, we're going for it on fourth down. Before
- 11:31Speaker 1: the time out, they were in the same set. Curtis
- 11:35Speaker 1: Samuel comes around, gets in the same motion. They're in
- 11:37Speaker 1: the same set.
- 11:38Speaker 3: The call time out, Okay, what are we going to do.
- 11:40Speaker 3: We're going to kick the field goal? No, they come
- 11:42Speaker 3: out and they do the exact same thing. So I
- 11:44Speaker 3: like that.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Confidence we're already seeing out of Brady early on in
- 11:48Speaker 1: the season of We're running this play, work down, don't matter,
- 11:52Speaker 1: We're not changing it up.
- 11:53Speaker 3: We know we're gonna get it.
- 11:54Speaker 1: We're running again, and that confidence to just shove it
- 11:57Speaker 1: down your throat. It was Gable asked with the layup
- 12:00Speaker 1: that even Andy Reid ask, you know, that type of motion,
- 12:03Speaker 1: play in and out and the fact that we don't
- 12:06Speaker 1: care it's worts down lunch, they didn't kick the field
- 12:08Speaker 1: goal and score force. No, we're gonna we know we're
- 12:11Speaker 1: gonna get it. Screw you, let's run it back.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I love that confidence.
- 12:15Speaker 4: You're absolutely right, And that's that type of conviction that
- 12:18Speaker 4: you need, you know, and you're gonna need it later
- 12:19Speaker 4: in the year and you want to put sometain certain
- 12:21Speaker 4: things on tape for teams to kind of figure out
- 12:24Speaker 4: what if they line up like this, they're gonna do this,
- 12:26Speaker 4: and then you can run different wrinkles off of things
- 12:28Speaker 4: like that. So I think that it's definitely a good
- 12:30Speaker 4: sign for Brady. It's funny, you know they talk about
- 12:32Speaker 4: everybody eats. It's everybody is kind of snacking right now.
- 12:35Speaker 4: I stole that from Mike shelp, you know, like everybody's
- 12:37Speaker 4: snacking and not really eating, And I'm like that's pretty
- 12:40Speaker 4: I like that, Like, yeah, like everybody's snacking and you know,
- 12:43Speaker 4: Dalton k really hasn't been a big part of the office.
- 12:45Speaker 2: It did a lot of flare screens to him, different
- 12:47Speaker 2: things like that.
- 12:48Speaker 4: The one thing that I can't poke holes in uh
- 12:50Speaker 4: DT And I mean I'm the first one to admit it.
- 12:53Speaker 4: I was worried about the receiver cord. I was worried
- 12:55Speaker 4: about different things. They didn't need it on Sunday. They
- 12:57Speaker 4: didn't need a lot of contribute contributions from those guys.
- 13:00Speaker 4: And it was a situation where it was just everything
- 13:03Speaker 4: because of the short fields that they were playing with
- 13:04Speaker 4: and the turnovers that the defense was causing. It was
- 13:07Speaker 4: just just be efficient, don't give the ball back to them.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Be in a situation where you're running your offense and
- 13:12Speaker 4: you're doing the right things. And then they had those
- 13:13Speaker 4: splash plays with James Cook that you didn't need Josh
- 13:16Speaker 4: Allen to put on the cape. You didn't need Josh
- 13:17Speaker 4: Allen to do anything crazy. You didn't need a crazy
- 13:20Speaker 4: performance out of any of the receivers. It was just
- 13:22Speaker 4: methodical and it was I think it was just a
- 13:24Speaker 4: clean game. I love the fact that they played a
- 13:26Speaker 4: clean game. They didn't give Miami anything and didn't give
- 13:29Speaker 4: them any life, And I think that that was one
- 13:30Speaker 4: of the things that I appreciated the most about that
- 13:32Speaker 4: game was that from start to finish it was a
- 13:34Speaker 4: clean game. I think it was one penalty and it
- 13:37Speaker 4: was just a situation where weren't shooting themselves on the foot.
- 13:39Speaker 3: What a good teams do they win that?
- 13:42Speaker 5: Especially games?
- 13:43Speaker 1: What did the Patriots do for years? What did the
- 13:45Speaker 1: Chiefs do every every creaking week, well.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Week, you know was whatever. But but you know what
- 13:54Speaker 3: I mean, you know, clean games.
- 13:56Speaker 5: That's the only way to survive.
- 13:57Speaker 1: It's the only way to be good in this league
- 13:58Speaker 1: is you got to win, win those ones when the
- 14:00Speaker 1: opportunity gives them to you. Because we know there's going
- 14:03Speaker 1: to be not clean games, you know, coming up, so
- 14:06Speaker 1: you got to you gotta take them.
- 14:07Speaker 5: As it is eighteen game schedules. These guys are beating
- 14:09Speaker 5: battered in every aspect.
- 14:11Speaker 3: You got to take them when you can get it.
- 14:13Speaker 3: I mean, look at this as a you know, other.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Than James Cook and some guys on defense, You're looking
- 14:18Speaker 1: at week one coming in probably as fresh as you're
- 14:21Speaker 1: gonna be all year, coming in, you know, getting that

- 14:31Speaker 1: short week and then keeping completely clean and then going

- 14:38Speaker 1: roll to kind of get this started well, be right
- 14:41Speaker 1: where they want to be, I think, in fatigue and whatnot,
- 14:46Speaker 1: kind of coming into the best possible scenario going into
- 14:49Speaker 1: this Monday night matchup. So like where we are, you know,
- 14:53Speaker 1: definitely the drought will never let us be you know,
- 14:56Speaker 1: content by any means, but this still even showing like, yeah,

- 16:16Speaker 4: Before we get to Monday Night Football, I wanted your
- 16:19Speaker 4: opinion on it, and I know I can respect what
- 16:21Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel was saying after the game and the day
- 16:24Speaker 4: after about how you know his opinion Toatua can only
- 16:27Speaker 4: hurt him and different things like that, and then obviously
- 16:29Speaker 4: everybody had their own opinion. I can only speak from
- 16:32Speaker 4: a father's standpoint. You know, I'm a dad, and I
- 16:35Speaker 4: know what I would feel like if it was my son,
- 16:37Speaker 4: and I wouldn't want him to play football anymore because,
- 16:39Speaker 4: you know, I just it just wouldn't be worth it.
- 16:41Speaker 4: And that's regardless of the money. That's regardless of the
- 16:43Speaker 4: guaranteed money and the different things like that. I know
- 16:45Speaker 4: that they were talked about contracts and what happens if
- 16:47Speaker 4: too retires and how much money does he have to
- 16:49Speaker 4: give back and all.
- 16:50Speaker 2: This other type of stuff. He's wealthy beyond his wildest dreams.
- 16:54Speaker 4: He's got fair, you know, generational wealth now for him
- 16:56Speaker 4: and his kids after he signed to that contract, and
- 16:58Speaker 4: even grandkids are covered.
- 17:00Speaker 2: It was it was tough to watch.
- 17:02Speaker 4: I didn't actually see the hit, and then I saw
- 17:04Speaker 4: that I was actually giving my my youngest the quincy
- 17:07Speaker 4: of Bath. And then I came back downstairs and I
- 17:08Speaker 4: and Nate was like, man, two is out, two is down.
- 17:11Speaker 4: And then I saw the replant. I was like, oh,
- 17:12Speaker 4: and I saw the fencing, you know, type of thing.
- 17:15Speaker 4: I don't know what what's your what's your thought on it?
- 17:17Speaker 4: Because I quickly thought that he's not going to retire.
- 17:20Speaker 4: I thought that, like literally the next day, I'm like, well,
- 17:21Speaker 4: he's not gonna probably retire it, you know, because he
- 17:24Speaker 4: doesn't want that to be his last performance. He loves football,
- 17:27Speaker 4: clearly because he's had all these concussions and he still
- 17:29Speaker 4: goes back out there. He's a he's a gamer, and
- 17:31Speaker 4: you hear that he's a great guy. What would be
- 17:33Speaker 4: your advice if you were in his inner circle? Because
- 17:36Speaker 4: I can only I only have the position of a dad,
- 17:38Speaker 4: and when I saw him, I'm like, damn it, that
- 17:39Speaker 4: was my kid. I wouldn't want to play anymore.
- 17:41Speaker 2: But I don't think he's gonna quit. I really don't.
- 17:44Speaker 5: I don't think he's gonna quit either.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Rob, I don't. I mean they said that he doesn't plans.
- 17:48Speaker 1: To his decision, or maybe it's not his decision at
- 17:52Speaker 1: the end of the day. Maybe it literally just never
- 17:54Speaker 1: gets to a point where it's medically you know.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's how I go questions answered.
- 17:59Speaker 1: True, True, So a couple of ways I look at it, Rob,
- 18:03Speaker 1: But I mean you're looking at if he does come
- 18:06Speaker 1: back and play, it's gonna happen again, like it's inevitable.
- 18:11Speaker 1: I mean maybe hope, hopefully, not hopefully, but it's gonna
- 18:16Speaker 1: he's gonna get take a hit again, like he's gonna
- 18:18Speaker 1: it's there's no way around football in the NFL. I
- 18:24Speaker 1: I also think these guys are different, you know, in
- 18:26Speaker 1: the in the head.
- 18:27Speaker 3: If they're playing this game in the.
- 18:29Speaker 5: First place, you know they're not.
- 18:31Speaker 1: It's it's it's easy for us to kind of sit
- 18:33Speaker 1: here and look at it and say, or even a
- 18:35Speaker 1: family outside looking at it, but being inside those lines
- 18:38Speaker 1: with that you know you got and so you know,
- 18:43Speaker 1: maybe that's not even in his head like I may,
- 18:46Speaker 1: I will, I'm prepared to die out here. You know,
- 18:49Speaker 1: things of that nature are going through some of these
- 18:51Speaker 1: guys heads, right, So it's tough to say. Nobody ever
- 18:55Speaker 1: wants to see that, especially you know when when your
- 18:57Speaker 1: team are playing after the Tomorrow Hammon situation, any major injury,
- 19:01Speaker 1: you always really.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Which made it kind of like yeah.
- 19:08Speaker 5: Crazy, yeah, yeah, but uh, it's I don't think he's.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Gonna quit because he is a little different and a
- 19:15Speaker 1: louved it, a little different and doesn't want to go
- 19:17Speaker 1: out like that or whatever they want to say.
- 19:19Speaker 5: But it's inevitable that it's going to happen again.
- 19:21Speaker 1: And that's that's just something obviously he he knew going
- 19:25Speaker 1: into it, and and it happened again.
- 19:27Speaker 5: It happened again, So it's stuck to watch Len.
- 19:32Speaker 2: He's got to learn the slide. He did not need
- 19:33Speaker 2: to go ahead first of that ship.
- 19:34Speaker 3: You know you're talking about on g R this week.
- 19:37Speaker 1: It's like the game is too competitive, it's it's too
- 19:39Speaker 1: much at stake, it's too.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Much money around.
- 19:41Speaker 3: But it's gonna be a time in the in the
- 19:44Speaker 3: fourth quarter, the game on the line, and you got it.
- 19:47Speaker 3: You gotta get it.
- 19:48Speaker 5: You got to put your head out and get it.
- 19:50Speaker 3: And you know, let's that's gonna happen.
- 19:52Speaker 1: It's and he's not just gonna slide just to slide
- 19:55Speaker 1: like he's gonna get He's a competitor.
- 19:57Speaker 3: He's gonna get that move. So that happens again.
- 20:00Speaker 5: I just hope it's not, you know, against the Bills,
- 20:02Speaker 5: but I can only pray for the best for them.
- 20:06Speaker 5: But I don't think he's witting. I don't know.
- 20:08Speaker 4: I think it came out a couple of days right
- 20:09Speaker 4: after that he's not. He's you know, he was already
- 20:11Speaker 4: getting ready to talk to neurologists and different things like
- 20:14Speaker 4: that to try to see when he can come back,
- 20:16Speaker 4: and different things like that. So we'll see it. Yes,
- 20:18Speaker 4: you're absolutely right. Prayers for him in his family and
- 20:20Speaker 4: whatever he wants to do. It's his life, you know
- 20:22Speaker 4: what I mean, it's his it's his career. Nobody can
- 20:24Speaker 4: tell him what to do obviously, other than you know,
- 20:27Speaker 4: literally doctors or something like that that would not be
- 20:29Speaker 4: able to clear him. But if he gets cleared, I
- 20:30Speaker 4: think he's going to get BA out there, maybe throw
- 20:31Speaker 4: a Guardian cap on him or something like that, and
- 20:34Speaker 4: maybe just hope for the best in that respect. Now,
- 20:36Speaker 4: as we transition to Monday Night football, DT, I know
- 20:40Speaker 4: that you're excited because I'm excited as well. I know
- 20:43Speaker 4: Bill's mafia is excited. Primetime under the Lights two got
- 20:45Speaker 4: back to back primetime games.
- 20:47Speaker 2: What is that?
- 20:47Speaker 4: Three straight primetime games Monday night football? Jacksonville come into town.
- 20:52Speaker 4: You know, it's funny because when I look at Jacksonville,
- 20:54Speaker 4: I was just like DT, I'm like, these guys they
- 20:57Speaker 4: cannot get their shit together, like they are all all
- 21:00Speaker 4: of this Trevor Lawrence this week says after the game
- 21:03Speaker 4: last Sunday that you know, we flat out suck right
- 21:04Speaker 4: now and all this other stuff, and they're just having
- 21:06Speaker 4: a tough time getting anything going. Both games they could
- 21:09Speaker 4: have won, if you really want to be honest, both
- 21:11Speaker 4: of their games they could have won. And then including
- 21:12Speaker 4: last week against Cleveland where it just seemed like they
- 21:14Speaker 4: were stuck in the mudd all game DT. It's always
- 21:17Speaker 4: these types of opponents that come in. We already know
- 21:19Speaker 4: Jacksonville has our numbers, so we don't want to overlook
- 21:21Speaker 4: them in that respect.
- 21:22Speaker 2: But I expect Buffalo. I really hope how about this.
- 21:25Speaker 4: I hope Buffalo comes out with the same mentality they
- 21:28Speaker 4: did against Miami and handle business early because I think
- 21:30Speaker 4: that if you jump on this Jaguars team, because of
- 21:33Speaker 4: all the different things and all the problems that they
- 21:34Speaker 4: have offensively right now, it could just get the night
- 21:37Speaker 4: could get long for them in a hurry, and they
- 21:39Speaker 4: come you know, they kind of become disinterested in that repect,
- 21:41Speaker 4: not that they'll quit or anything like that, because they
- 21:43Speaker 4: do have a great defense, but their offense has just
- 21:45Speaker 4: been so out of sorts where you jump up fourteen
- 21:48Speaker 4: points first half, you might not get their best effort
- 21:50Speaker 4: second half coming in.
- 21:52Speaker 5: OH one two.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I mean you're looking at the mafia gonna be pumped up.
- 21:57Speaker 1: The mafia that had question all summer, the mafia that
- 22:00Speaker 1: maybe wasn't as.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Typed up their back typed up again.
- 22:05Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a nice night Monday in early game.
- 22:08Speaker 1: The train still rolling, It's gonna be a tough environment
- 22:12Speaker 1: to come in and get one. And they do have
- 22:14Speaker 1: a number, rob but they got our number pretty much
- 22:17Speaker 1: everywhere above Buffalo, right. You know, you to London and
- 22:20Speaker 1: you go to Jacksonville, and I don't think we talked
- 22:23Speaker 1: about the Jacksonville like. I don't think we should like
- 22:26Speaker 1: this team at all. As speaking, I don't think we
- 22:30Speaker 1: should like. This is a this is a situation too.
- 22:34Speaker 1: You know, we got to take care of these guys.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Literally screw the Jaguars, man. I didn't from the when
- 22:41Speaker 1: the drought breaks, Tyron Taylor goes down there, we scored
- 22:44Speaker 1: three points.
- 22:45Speaker 2: I was there, I was there.
- 22:47Speaker 5: You were there. Yeah, seventeen years we waited we.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Go down in that first you know you were there.
- 22:53Speaker 3: I was telling the story at work today.
- 22:55Speaker 5: About like that day.
- 22:56Speaker 3: I'll never forget and you know how like loaded I
- 22:59Speaker 3: got getting ready for this day, Like it was like
- 23:03Speaker 3: there was just.
- 23:03Speaker 5: So much emotion.
- 23:04Speaker 3: I didn't know how to handle it, you know.
- 23:06Speaker 1: And you go in and it's three points in a
- 23:09Speaker 1: playoff game. I got a video that like probably should
- 23:13Speaker 1: delete about it after the game, about saying some wild
- 23:16Speaker 1: ship about Rick Dennison and this was and how you
- 23:20Speaker 1: can't score three points.
- 23:21Speaker 3: In a playoff game and all this stuff, and to
- 23:25Speaker 3: go down there and seventeen years we wait. In the
- 23:27Speaker 3: first playoff game, we get.
- 23:29Speaker 5: Three points Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 23:32Speaker 1: And then the next game after that, Jalen Ramsey called
- 23:37Speaker 1: Josh Allen trumps.
- 23:39Speaker 3: They beat him. They do beat him.
- 23:41Speaker 5: In Buffalo.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Allen has that throw that's like wild in the pocket,
- 23:45Speaker 1: hucks it up to Robert Foster.
- 23:47Speaker 2: I think, right, ye.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Did get them there, but they were they were four
- 23:51Speaker 3: and four and ten that year. You know, it didn't matter.
- 23:55Speaker 5: Then we go down to Jacksonville.
- 23:58Speaker 1: I got shout outa yeah, shout out noah uh and
- 24:02Speaker 1: that and that crew. We had this trip planned for
- 24:04Speaker 1: six months. We had this massive state mansion down jackson Villa.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Were staying at Airbnb and this whole weekend plan.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Can't wait. We get down there. Torrential downpours for four days.
- 24:17Speaker 5: It doesn't doesn't stop raining.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Our vacation is inside for a few days in Florida,
- 24:23Speaker 1: doesn't stop reigning. What do we do against the worst
- 24:26Speaker 1: team in football? And Urban Meyer going in there rolling
- 24:29Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and what do we score?
- 24:31Speaker 5: Six points? Touchdown?
- 24:34Speaker 2: And maybe this nine to six or some ship like
- 24:35Speaker 2: something stupid I said.
- 24:37Speaker 3: An Urban Meyer team that was the joke of the NFL.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Yeah, kicks around and ship.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we push, we push into London.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Hey, brob we get some breakfast pizza.
- 24:49Speaker 5: Yeah, you can get a couple of mimosas going nine am.
- 24:52Speaker 2: I had breakfast. We got a lot of spread for
- 24:55Speaker 2: that game.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Jones goes out, Milano goes out.
- 24:59Speaker 5: We we walk around the field a frustrating BS lost.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Yeah, they beat us that day too, They beat us
- 25:06Speaker 2: that day.
- 25:07Speaker 5: I hate the Jaguars.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I love it. It sounds so personal, man, And so
- 25:16Speaker 2: this is this is what I.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Say to this week. Seventeen olds, one seventeen.
- 25:20Speaker 4: Old and one Yeah. Yeah he does, I mean he does,
- 25:23Speaker 4: I mean you actually the right. It's just been some
- 25:25Speaker 4: weird matchups like you just you just ran through them.
- 25:27Speaker 4: And I remember the fight, loving Fournette wanted to fight.
- 25:30Speaker 4: I can't remember who he was fighting, but you know,
- 25:32Speaker 4: we got kicked out of the game. It might have
- 25:33Speaker 4: been l out somebody was fighting Leonard for when he
- 25:36Speaker 4: was with them and they got into a fight, and
- 25:38Speaker 4: I think they beat us that day too. So it's
- 25:40Speaker 4: just a it's just been a weird a weird matchup
- 25:42Speaker 4: with those guys. They do seem to have our number
- 25:44Speaker 4: in that respect, but it's never like they're.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Just outclassing us in that respect.
- 25:48Speaker 4: They just make us look, you know, completely bad for
- 25:50Speaker 4: most of the part, and London was a little bit different.
- 25:52Speaker 4: But you know, it's just a situation where I just
- 25:54Speaker 4: don't I know that when you're owing to and I
- 25:56Speaker 4: know the stats and they talk about how when you're owing,
- 25:59Speaker 4: you know, owing to your where you're probably not gonna
- 26:01Speaker 4: make the playoffs oh and three.
- 26:02Speaker 2: It's pretty much fucking done. And the same thing like
- 26:04Speaker 2: the Bills.
- 26:04Speaker 4: I know back in ninety eight when they started owing four,
- 26:06Speaker 4: that's the only team ever or something like that that
- 26:08Speaker 4: never made the playoffs oh and four. So you know
- 26:11Speaker 4: they've got the expanded playoffs now on an extra seed.
- 26:13Speaker 4: But like your season is kind of on the line
- 26:15Speaker 4: on Monday night if you're a Jacksonville Jaguar fan and
- 26:18Speaker 4: you know, everything can kind of go up and smoke.
- 26:19Speaker 4: So sometimes that makes you know, back against the wall.
- 26:22Speaker 4: That makes the opponent you know, fight harder and and
- 26:24Speaker 4: maybe fight a little bit dirty. So you got to
- 26:26Speaker 4: be prepared for that. But I think if you jump
- 26:28Speaker 4: out on them early, they do have a good defense.
- 26:30Speaker 4: But if you jump out on them early, I think
- 26:31Speaker 4: that you can kind of get them disinterested, like I said,
- 26:34Speaker 4: towards the second half.
- 26:35Speaker 2: So we'll see, you know, what the offense looks like
- 26:38Speaker 2: that night. I'm not exactly sure what the game.
- 26:40Speaker 4: Plan is going to be because it seems like everybody's
- 26:42Speaker 4: just running the too high, like we talked about, and
- 26:44Speaker 4: then the you know, scoring's down and everybody's you know,
- 26:46Speaker 4: they're inviting offenses is to run the ball right now
- 26:49Speaker 4: DT at an alarming rate. The Bills are not even
- 26:51Speaker 4: running it that well, but they're you know, they're just
- 26:53Speaker 4: running it because they're asking them to run it, so
- 26:55Speaker 4: they are doing it and they're kind of obliging because
- 26:57Speaker 4: they have to.
- 26:57Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting game.
- 26:59Speaker 4: I don't know if it's going to be up and
- 27:00Speaker 4: down or anything like that, but I think that the
- 27:02Speaker 4: Bills can find a way to jump out early DT
- 27:04Speaker 4: there could be some opportunities where you just get this
- 27:07Speaker 4: team ready to hit the bus. They're ready to get
- 27:09Speaker 4: back on the plane to go back to Jacksonville and
- 27:10Speaker 4: figure out, you know, what they're doing.
- 27:12Speaker 2: For the rest of the year, because your year is
- 27:13Speaker 2: pretty much over after that point.
- 27:15Speaker 3: We got to hope. So No gave Davis revenge game
- 27:20Speaker 3: on all my fantasy teams, threw the.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Team he likes.
- 27:25Speaker 3: I mean, let's go.
- 27:25Speaker 2: I mean a long, nice, long game plan eleven days off.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the Bills as well.
- 27:32Speaker 5: Like as I'm taking it personal, Josh Allen should be
- 27:34Speaker 5: taking this personal.
- 27:35Speaker 1: You know, it's one of the only teams in the
- 27:37Speaker 1: league that he isn't embarrassed in one way or another.
- 27:39Speaker 1: So you know, it's got to be a situation where
- 27:42Speaker 1: we take this a a f C opponent that that
- 27:45Speaker 1: thinks they're good, you know, in his and whatever our house,
- 27:49Speaker 1: take care of it.
- 27:50Speaker 3: With some tough games.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Coming up, keep sacking these wins. I don't I think
- 27:54Speaker 1: we got to take it personal. And and like you said,
- 27:56Speaker 1: get them. This is disinterested early screwing, screw the Jabar scriwage.
- 28:02Speaker 2: I like it.
- 28:03Speaker 4: I like it a lot now as we transition, DT,
- 28:06Speaker 4: I name the episode the way that I did, because
- 28:09Speaker 4: you know, you knew how I was feeling. You know,
- 28:11Speaker 4: coming into the season. I'm on record, nicol City crew
- 28:14Speaker 4: knows ten and seven. I just thought that there's just
- 28:16Speaker 4: the schedules and the quarterbacks just too hard in respect
- 28:19Speaker 4: to expect us a crazy twelve or thirteen win season. DT,
- 28:23Speaker 4: you take a stroll around the AFC, you bring up
- 28:26Speaker 4: your standings right now and look around this conference and
- 28:29Speaker 4: we'll go division by division because it's it's it's a
- 28:33Speaker 4: lot more interesting and a lot closer than I thought
- 28:35Speaker 4: in respects to the way that these guys are grouping
- 28:37Speaker 4: out right now. We know that the division should be
- 28:39Speaker 4: ours DT. To be honest, I know that it's early
- 28:42Speaker 4: to claim it. I know that the Jets are up
- 28:43Speaker 4: right now on the Patriots, but everybody's sitting at one
- 28:46Speaker 4: and one besides the Bills. But Miami season is toast.
- 28:49Speaker 4: I mean, you know two is going to be out
- 28:51Speaker 4: for at least four weeks. They just put them on
- 28:53Speaker 4: ir this week and then who knows what he's like
- 28:55Speaker 4: when he gets back. Skyleer Thompson is not winning a
- 28:56Speaker 4: whole bunch of games. I know they signed Tyler Huntley.
- 28:59Speaker 4: New England looks like the play good. It looks like
- 29:01Speaker 4: an old Bill Belichick team. They're gonna play good. D
- 29:03Speaker 4: They don't really have a quarterback, so they're gonna try
- 29:05Speaker 4: to keep games close. Seventeen thirteen, twenty one seventeen. They're
- 29:09Speaker 4: gonna try to be in that wheelhouse all season long
- 29:11Speaker 4: with Jakobe Brissett.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Then you've got you know the.
- 29:14Speaker 4: Jets who you know, they're the Jets, and we'll see
- 29:16Speaker 4: if they could turn their season around in respects to
- 29:18Speaker 4: living up to the hype and different things like that.
- 29:20Speaker 4: But we don't see them for a couple weeks, so
- 29:21Speaker 4: I'll know more about them in more weeks, and just
- 29:23Speaker 4: seeing if Rogers can stay healthy, stay on the field.
- 29:25Speaker 2: See what that office is looking like. Are they still
- 29:27Speaker 2: up fourteen nothing right now?
- 29:29Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 29:30Speaker 2: Yeah? Still up fourteen nothing?
- 29:31Speaker 4: Okay, So we'll see. I still point is, I still
- 29:34Speaker 4: give the division to us. You go to the AFC
- 29:36Speaker 4: North DD Pittsburg is two and zero. Cleveland's won on one.
- 29:41Speaker 4: They just pick up their win over the hapless Jaguars
- 29:43Speaker 4: last week, like I said, in a close game that
- 29:45Speaker 4: really Jacksonville could have won. Baltimore and Sincio into Baltimore
- 29:49Speaker 4: drops a horrible game last week to Oakland rby to
- 29:52Speaker 4: Vegas at home. I don't know how you let them
- 29:54Speaker 4: win that game up ten fourth quarter. It's inexplicable that
- 29:58Speaker 4: you lose that game in your home opener, to make
- 30:00Speaker 4: no sense how they let them happen. And then Cincinnati
- 30:02Speaker 4: they looked better, they played better, but you still didn't
- 30:05Speaker 4: get the result. And you know, and we can bitch
- 30:06Speaker 4: and moan about the refs and they love Kansas City,
- 30:08Speaker 4: but it was a pass interference. It was clear he
- 30:10Speaker 4: was early, way early on that one, and they give
- 30:13Speaker 4: them the game DT. I mean that even the North
- 30:16Speaker 4: looks different now, like even it doesn't it just Pittsburgh.
- 30:19Speaker 2: They're frauds. They're not hanging around like that's that'sh It's
- 30:21Speaker 2: not real.
- 30:21Speaker 5: That's what you gotta really look at. I mean, that's
- 30:24Speaker 5: not that Broncos game.
- 30:26Speaker 1: You know, you know obviously you know three thirty is
- 30:28Speaker 1: got Bronco blood and here so I watched I had
- 30:32Speaker 1: the split screen and the Bengals and the Broncos on
- 30:34Speaker 1: the other TV because.
- 30:35Speaker 5: Zach actually went down. He goes to the home opener
- 30:37Speaker 5: every year. So okay, I watched, Yeah, that was like,
- 30:40Speaker 5: that was horrible to watch. The Steers. I mean that
- 30:45Speaker 5: Steelers are literally just Iowa.
- 30:47Speaker 3: Of the NFL. You know, same color scheam.
- 30:50Speaker 1: And everything, the d and your your team might getch
- 30:53Speaker 1: you thirteen points. So I don't think they're gonna to
- 30:56Speaker 1: withstand it. But you know, obviously, Mike Tomlins always always
- 31:00Speaker 1: gonna get them clost to that five hundred mark, and.
- 31:03Speaker 3: That means beating the Ravens and the Bengals and you
- 31:05Speaker 3: know some of these teams in their divisions.
- 31:07Speaker 1: So yes, but I think eventually that quarterback, you know, Carousel,
- 31:13Speaker 1: whatever is going on, they're gonna have to play Russell
- 31:15Speaker 1: Wilson eventually, and he's again, and so I think that's
- 31:20Speaker 1: gonna be their demise Cincinnati.
- 31:22Speaker 5: It's the broken record.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Always start bad, get into a rhythm, get going, t
- 31:26Speaker 1: Higgins's herd, tomar Chase is gonna that drama is gonna be.
- 31:30Speaker 3: You know that that drama is gonna be away after
- 31:32Speaker 3: a while, and.
- 31:33Speaker 1: They're gonna start finding finding rhythm. I mean, I don't
- 31:38Speaker 1: want the Ravens to win this week, but I also
- 31:42Speaker 1: don't want to go see him at oh and three,
- 31:44Speaker 1: you know, Baltimore, uh in week four on Sunday Night football.
- 31:48Speaker 1: So but but so I'm not I think it's I
- 31:52Speaker 1: don't think we're getting away from shock too much in there.
- 31:55Speaker 5: If anything, the Browns are have a good roster.
- 31:57Speaker 1: But Dashaun Watson just looks like he any more. He's
- 32:00Speaker 1: he's all gone, He's all gone. So the Steelers the
- 32:07Speaker 1: respectful and it becomes the race of the one and
- 32:10Speaker 1: one and oh and too, you know, Ravens back to
- 32:12Speaker 1: the top. But you like that as Bills fans, Obviously
- 32:14Speaker 1: they have to do some climbing and dig out and
- 32:16Speaker 1: like some cheap ones, you know, and some straight bolles
- 32:19Speaker 1: from the Browns or the Steelers in division play.
- 32:22Speaker 5: So I think it's we're not getting away from shock
- 32:24Speaker 5: too much. But it has been interesting to see kind
- 32:27Speaker 5: of how it's playing out already.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and AFC South Houston looks like you know, Houston,
- 32:32Speaker 4: and their defense looks ferocious, and I really like them
- 32:34Speaker 4: a lot. I've always liked that team in respects to
- 32:36Speaker 4: Demiico Ryans. I just like him as a coach, like
- 32:38Speaker 4: the energy. I love players coaches. I'm all about that
- 32:41Speaker 4: rest of the division. Oh and too, I mean, we'll
- 32:43Speaker 4: love us doing stupid ship out there in Tennessee. Coach
- 32:46Speaker 4: on the sidelight say what the I don't.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Want to hear anybody else saying, oh, he looks like
- 32:52Speaker 1: young Josh Allen liked.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Some stupid ship. But he did anything he did that,
- 32:58Speaker 3: did anything like that.
- 33:00Speaker 4: No, No, the worst thing you can say about Josh
- 33:03Speaker 4: with sugar hih Josh back in you know, Houston wild
- 33:05Speaker 4: Card and he's you know, he's pitching the ball to
- 33:08Speaker 4: Dawson knoxas something crazy like that.
- 33:10Speaker 2: But Josh has never even looked like that ever. I mean, na.
- 33:18Speaker 3: Like that.
- 33:19Speaker 4: Yeah, that, I mean inexplicable that that attempted pitch. You're
- 33:24Speaker 4: in the red zone, like it's not fourth down or
- 33:26Speaker 4: anything like that, Like, what do you it's not fourth quarter?
- 33:29Speaker 4: I just I don't know what he's thinking. And he
- 33:30Speaker 4: says he's got to rewire his brain. So we'll see
- 33:33Speaker 4: if they could do that down there in Tennessee and Nashville, Jacksonville.
- 33:36Speaker 4: We already talked about them Indianapolis, I mean Anthony Richardson.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Just you know, he just looks like a rookie, you
- 33:42Speaker 4: know what I mean? And he basically is when he
- 33:43Speaker 4: played a couple games last year and he looks like
- 33:45Speaker 4: a rookie. He only had a few handful of games
- 33:47Speaker 4: at Florida, so he's going to be going through his
- 33:49Speaker 4: growing paints.
- 33:50Speaker 2: And then the West, I mean Harvard.
- 33:52Speaker 4: You know, I'm a Michigan man, And like everybody should
- 33:54Speaker 4: have known that he was going to bludget people. He
- 33:57Speaker 4: picks instead of picking the lak neighbors, he picks your ault.
- 34:01Speaker 4: If that didn't just you know, tell you exactly what
- 34:03Speaker 4: the Chargers were going to be that you weren't paying
- 34:05Speaker 4: attention and you haven't watched Michigan football or Stanford football
- 34:08Speaker 4: or San Francisco forty nine ers football back in the day.
- 34:10Speaker 4: He's going to just pound the shit out of the
- 34:12Speaker 4: rock like this, This too high shell shit does not
- 34:14Speaker 4: bother him at all.
- 34:15Speaker 2: He loves it because him and Roman can just just
- 34:18Speaker 2: go to work in respects to pounding that rock.
- 34:20Speaker 5: J K.
- 34:20Speaker 4: Dobbinson is obviously off to a great start for them. Obviously,
- 34:23Speaker 4: the Chiefs we know about them, they'll always be around
- 34:25Speaker 4: the Bugga boo, get lucky, YadA, YadA YadA, and then
- 34:27Speaker 4: you've got Vegas at one on one and then Denver
- 34:29Speaker 4: looks hapless. So I mean, DT, I think that what
- 34:33Speaker 4: the whole point is that this conference, everything's kind of
- 34:35Speaker 4: on the table. I had to That's why I named
- 34:36Speaker 4: the episode the way that did. We gotta have to recalibrate,
- 34:39Speaker 4: figure out if we want to change our expectations. I
- 34:42Speaker 4: know after Monday night will be a good opportunity to
- 34:45Speaker 4: do that and to figure out. Because you go to
- 34:46Speaker 4: three and oh, getting ready to go face Baltimore. I mean,
- 34:50Speaker 4: don't come. Don't go to Baltimore and win, because then
- 34:52Speaker 4: you won't be able to tell me shit like I
- 34:54Speaker 4: find you won't be to tell me shit about the conference.
- 34:56Speaker 2: I mean Kansas City, who.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Can be best warning to in that game? You know?
- 35:01Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that's there's opportunity out there. You
- 35:05Speaker 1: play all those teams that you know are the threat,
- 35:07Speaker 1: almost in chronological order.
- 35:10Speaker 3: You get the Ravens, then the Texans, and then not not.
- 35:13Speaker 5: So much the Chiefs. That's a little but some tests
- 35:16Speaker 5: obviously in between that. So you're gonna have your shot.
- 35:19Speaker 3: You're gonna have your shot.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Mono and mono with these squads, you know, the Texans,
- 35:23Speaker 1: the Ravens and and the Chiefs.
- 35:25Speaker 5: But at the same time, yeah, the Ravens go and three.
- 35:28Speaker 5: Like you said, the playoff odds almost you know.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Don't matter, even if it's a fake going three or not.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Playoff odds are the playoff bots, and they go extremely down,
- 35:37Speaker 1: well below fifty percent.
- 35:38Speaker 5: I think Houston, you know, is riding that that wave.
- 35:41Speaker 3: And I I don't want to be any.
- 35:44Speaker 5: Part of Houston this year.
- 35:45Speaker 3: I don't want to cheer for them.
- 35:46Speaker 5: I don't want to like them. But if they weren't
- 35:49Speaker 5: in the a f C, I would probably be like,
- 35:50Speaker 5: this team is kind of cool and you know.
- 35:52Speaker 2: So I.
- 35:57Speaker 1: This offseason and end up as far he's back ended
- 36:01Speaker 1: up so far and obviously everything that digs and and
- 36:03Speaker 1: all that. So it's, uh, it's it's a big situation,
- 36:07Speaker 1: uh in Houston. Do they have the caliber you know,
- 36:10Speaker 1: late in the season to get it done as they do,
- 36:12Speaker 1: they have the experience, they're super young. What they're gonna
- 36:15Speaker 1: be in those you know, in those late you know,
- 36:17Speaker 1: December games and adversity's hitting them.
- 36:19Speaker 2: But that's not when they play us.
- 36:21Speaker 3: They played us.
- 36:22Speaker 1: You know, we gotta we gotta be ready to strap
- 36:25Speaker 1: up and and we were. It's it's not house money
- 36:28Speaker 1: right now, Rob, but you know, definitely have opportunity in
- 36:30Speaker 1: stack wins.
- 36:31Speaker 3: And you know three and oh and then go when
- 36:33Speaker 3: you do go four and oh against the.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Ravens, you're going into Houston at four and oh already
- 36:38Speaker 1: knocking off you know, Baltimore, who would then be would
- 36:41Speaker 1: then be at worst or at best one and three.
- 36:45Speaker 1: And even if Houston is you know, four and oh,
- 36:48Speaker 1: you got to want to want you got the match
- 36:50Speaker 1: up a four and oh four and oh going into that,
- 36:52Speaker 1: So all situations are on the table. And with an
- 36:56Speaker 1: opportunity for the Bills to we talked about establishing and
- 36:59Speaker 1: they separating ourselves. We got a huge opportunity to go
- 37:02Speaker 1: in there. If you go five at all and you
- 37:04Speaker 1: beat the Ravens and the and the Texans, and there's
- 37:09Speaker 1: multiple losses with the Ravens and at the very best.
- 37:12Speaker 5: One loss for the Texans. You know, that's it's all.
- 37:14Speaker 5: You're right, You're right. Then we're can't tell me.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Shit, you can't tell me. Yeah, don't let that happen.
- 37:22Speaker 4: Don't start off four and oh, because I've definitely didn't
- 37:24Speaker 4: see that coming, uh in that respected, you know, I
- 37:26Speaker 4: have some couple of losses in there for sure by
- 37:28Speaker 4: the time that happened.
- 37:29Speaker 2: So it's just a pleasant surprise in that respect.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Again, now, DT, as we begin to wrap up tonight,
- 37:34Speaker 4: I wanted to get your thoughts on that you had
- 37:36Speaker 4: kind of alluded to it earlier. You know, what are
- 37:38Speaker 4: your thoughts on this whole milk kypers going crazy? And
- 37:41Speaker 4: it's the talk all day on w g R different
- 37:44Speaker 4: things like that. You know, it's funny because I just
- 37:47Speaker 4: don't I just don't remember that this, you know, when
- 37:49Speaker 4: they talk about like taking it out of the game,
- 37:51Speaker 4: Like I know that there's you know a lot of
- 37:52Speaker 4: it's just for media purposes and there there may not
- 37:55Speaker 4: be that serious about it, But like, how could you
- 37:57Speaker 4: tell somebody that they can't play defense a certain type
- 37:59Speaker 4: of way?
- 38:00Speaker 2: But I mean unless scoring goes all the way down
- 38:03Speaker 2: or something like that.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Like I could never see the league stepping in and
- 38:06Speaker 4: trying to say you can't play a certain type of defense.
- 38:08Speaker 2: To me, that sounds wonky.
- 38:09Speaker 4: This is not baseball and the shift I understand that
- 38:12Speaker 4: NFL is it's an entertainment product and stuff like that.
- 38:14Speaker 4: And I know that everybody loves their fantasy football. It's
- 38:16Speaker 4: not like the games are ten to three right now
- 38:19Speaker 4: or anything like that. I mean they're still scoring some points. Yes,
- 38:21Speaker 4: scoring is down, Yes, passing numbers are down. Obviously we
- 38:24Speaker 4: know that. Here in Bill's Mafi with Josh, I mean
- 38:26Speaker 4: his stats don't look anything like they did a couple
- 38:28Speaker 4: years ago. I think like over seven hundred yards, you know,
- 38:31Speaker 4: one year after two games, So like he's you know,
- 38:33Speaker 4: everything is being.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Suppressed because the two high show.
- 38:35Speaker 4: I just don't want everybody to freak out and go
- 38:37Speaker 4: crazy over because some of the rhetoric is like man,
- 38:41Speaker 4: the pendulum swinging back, and like we're not getting ready
- 38:43Speaker 4: to turn around and hand the ball off to Emmett
- 38:46Speaker 4: Smith and the Therman Thomas thirty times a game. I
- 38:48Speaker 4: just don't see. I don't think that that's the way
- 38:50Speaker 4: the NFL is working. I think that everybody's just freaking
- 38:53Speaker 4: out just a little bit.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Personally. That's worse too.
- 38:57Speaker 1: We're not we're not even even close to through September yet,
- 39:01Speaker 1: you know, everybody's getting rolling. We're still getting dust off
- 39:04Speaker 1: these guys. Never nobody plays in the preseason anymore. You
- 39:07Speaker 1: know this is this is basically the first first go
- 39:10Speaker 1: of it and getting loose and understanding, and there's gonna
- 39:15Speaker 1: be injuries and there's gonna be breakups and there's a
- 39:17Speaker 1: lot of things yet to happen, and offenses are going
- 39:20Speaker 1: to start figuring it out. Defense is really hard position
- 39:22Speaker 1: to play for days. You know, it's stacked against you still,
- 39:26Speaker 1: I mean in all avenues. You look at the Chiefs
- 39:29Speaker 1: Chiefs and Bengals game and towards the end exactly, it's
- 39:32Speaker 1: tough to play defense in this league. And these quarterbacks
- 39:35Speaker 1: are too good. Eventually they're gonna start finding teams and
- 39:37Speaker 1: they're gonna bust this thing open. The NFL is in
- 39:40Speaker 1: entertainment business. They want scoring, but they don't want unlimited
- 39:43Speaker 1: scoring because you know, it's gimmicky and to renal football
- 39:48Speaker 1: league desk, right, it's not competitive. So they wanted in
- 39:51Speaker 1: that happy medium. And if that's the dependulum swinging, the
- 39:54Speaker 1: pendulum swinging. But the Bills were doing this before. Other
- 39:57Speaker 1: teams weren't, like we said, a.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Little head at the curb with it.
- 40:00Speaker 5: But it is what it is.
- 40:00Speaker 1: But these quarterbacks are too good and they're gonna they're
- 40:04Speaker 1: gonna start making things happen as the year goes on.
- 40:06Speaker 3: I'm not worried at all. I mean, we scored, we scored.
- 40:08Speaker 3: We've been in the thirties.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I know us.
- 40:12Speaker 4: I know.
- 40:12Speaker 2: I'm just you know, other fan bases and stuff like that.
- 40:15Speaker 2: You know, the rhetoric.
- 40:16Speaker 4: If you heard like the National News and they it
- 40:18Speaker 4: was like, you know, they are literally you know, football's
- 40:20Speaker 4: back in the Stone age, And it was just so
- 40:22Speaker 4: crazy to hear that.
- 40:23Speaker 2: When Nel Kuiper said that, I was like, what is
- 40:25Speaker 2: he like he knows football? What is he talking about?
- 40:27Speaker 4: Like outlaw the two the high to safety of Tampa two.
- 40:31Speaker 4: You can't outlaw on Tampa two. Like I could play defense.
- 40:33Speaker 4: I don't want to play defense. That doesn't make any sense.
- 40:36Speaker 4: So it was just interesting to hear some of that stuff,
- 40:38Speaker 4: you know, because people are freaking out, and I know
- 40:39Speaker 4: that it's definitely fantasy driven and scores and stuff. We're
- 40:43Speaker 4: watching the games just as much the product is is
- 40:45Speaker 4: still entertaining to watch. I had a fucking blast at
- 40:49Speaker 4: the Homeowner, didn't you like? I mean, and I had
- 40:51Speaker 4: a blast on Thursday night watching the game, Like so
- 40:53Speaker 4: you know what I mean? It's a situation where everybody
- 40:55Speaker 4: could just kind of pump the brakes a little bit.
- 40:57Speaker 4: When not going back to the eighties, when not going
- 40:59Speaker 4: back to the late nineties, where you know, it's Derman Thomas,
- 41:01Speaker 4: it's Curtis Martin running you know, thirty six carries and
- 41:05Speaker 4: all these other running backs and they're the no quarterbacks
- 41:08Speaker 4: are still running the league. And I think that the
- 41:10Speaker 4: offensive coordinator. You talk about the quarterbacks are too talented.
- 41:12Speaker 4: The offensive coordinator is going to figure something out. There's
- 41:14Speaker 4: there are there are cover two beaters. You know, you
- 41:16Speaker 4: got to get those when they talk those honey hole shots.
- 41:19Speaker 4: Danielaski always talks about those are the harder ones on
- 41:21Speaker 4: the sidelines. But there's some scenes, there's there's space behind
- 41:24Speaker 4: those linebackers to get some some get some all routes,
- 41:26Speaker 4: and so they'll figure they'll figure it out. Like it's
- 41:28Speaker 4: it's not going back to the nineteen eighties and nineties.

- 43:23Speaker 4: Nickel City Crew Tailgate Report. As we wrap up Smash Burgers,
- 43:27Speaker 4: I got a story for you, DT. Met we were
- 43:29Speaker 4: talking about the Blackstone. I got a Blackstone for my birthday.
- 43:32Speaker 2: I was ready to go. I was fired up.
- 43:35Speaker 4: It was like seventh. It was like seven seventh, you know,
- 43:37Speaker 4: in the seven o'clock hour. A little bit after I
- 43:39Speaker 4: turn on Bill's pre game. I got that going on
- 43:41Speaker 4: the speaker outside. I go and I put the pro
- 43:44Speaker 4: pane in. Propane's full, ready to go. I put the
- 43:46Speaker 4: propane in, and all of a sudden that it starts
- 43:49Speaker 4: like leaking. I can hear it hissing, and I'm like,
- 43:51Speaker 4: what's going on? So like I'm like, something wrong with
- 43:53Speaker 4: my propane. I run to the store, get a new propane.
- 43:56Speaker 4: Change it out like the you know, Wegman's equivalent down here.
- 43:59Speaker 2: It's this place. Call here's tterr. Run trade it out,
- 44:02Speaker 2: get another one. Come back. The motherfucker won't turn on.
- 44:06Speaker 2: I'm like checking battery.
- 44:07Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, night, just nice little two big burner,
- 44:11Speaker 4: one nice, nice flat top.
- 44:12Speaker 2: And it wouldn't work.
- 44:13Speaker 6: Man.
- 44:14Speaker 4: So I still did the smash burgers. I still have
- 44:16Speaker 4: a backup grill, got my girl. I didn't do anything
- 44:17Speaker 4: with it. I got to figure it out DT. Because
- 44:19Speaker 4: that I mean when I tell you it was stressful,
- 44:22Speaker 4: because I got the kids here, I got everybody ready
- 44:24Speaker 4: to eat, you know, I mean, like Jody's like, we're all.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Here, ready to eat, and I'm like, the grill won't
- 44:28Speaker 2: turn on.
- 44:29Speaker 4: So I will try again on Sunday to figure out
- 44:32Speaker 4: what the culprit was, what the problem was. I don't
- 44:34Speaker 4: know if I could get one of those long lighters
- 44:36Speaker 4: and get under there and light it's supposed to just
- 44:38Speaker 4: be a button, push it and then it comes on.
- 44:41Speaker 4: I had it on high. I don't know what happened,
- 44:43Speaker 4: but I thought of you for sure when I was
- 44:44Speaker 4: running up to the grocery start to change out the probate,
- 44:46Speaker 4: because I was like, I cannot believe this. I'm a
- 44:48Speaker 4: professional tailgeter, like DT said, this is I'm supposed to
- 44:52Speaker 4: be already ready. I'm supposed to already have done this backchecking,
- 44:55Speaker 4: and I didn't. I was lazy and the working and kids,
- 44:58Speaker 4: and I never checked it before game day. And I
- 45:00Speaker 4: was when I tell you, I was running around like
- 45:01Speaker 4: a chicken with my head cut off.
- 45:03Speaker 2: DT.
- 45:03Speaker 4: I was running around all around my little town trying
- 45:06Speaker 4: to get those damn burgers on the growing ready to go.
- 45:08Speaker 4: But we got it done. Uh, the boys, they love
- 45:11Speaker 4: smash burgers. And we got the smash burgers done and
- 45:13Speaker 4: had the backup grill ready to go. So we got
- 45:15Speaker 4: that done. But boy, that it was too close, too close,
- 45:18Speaker 4: of a call for sure. We were all here just
- 45:20Speaker 4: chilling watching the game. We had a good time, and
- 45:22Speaker 4: I know you and I were texting throughout. What was
- 45:24Speaker 4: your tailgate report at three thirty, Linden?

- 47:56Speaker 4: Bill's Mafia and Nicol City crew. I know that we
- 47:58Speaker 4: all enjoyed watching that as well. Uh to a side,
- 48:00Speaker 4: So listen, I mean, I'm excited. Uh again, it's I
- 48:04Speaker 4: don't I wouldn't consider the trap game. You know, it's
- 48:07Speaker 4: at home, it's an opponent, it's early in the year.
- 48:10Speaker 4: You should have respect for all of your opponents, early
- 48:12Speaker 4: in the year because as we saw, you know, anything
- 48:14Speaker 4: can happen. Nobody thought that the Patriot's going to beat
- 48:16Speaker 4: the Bengals Week one, and everybody loses their survivor pools
- 48:19Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So you know, you can't count
- 48:21Speaker 4: your chickens too early. So you got to be locked in,
- 48:23Speaker 4: gotta be ready to go Monday night football. Mean, what
- 48:24Speaker 4: else do you need? I mean, if you're a professional athlete,
