"The third and 10 play of the year referencing Tyreek 40 yards down the field. When he gets to the top of his drop, he separates his hands and he's getting ready to throw. Because they have an in-breaker past the sticks, which is like the money route for Tua, the money route for Mike McDaniel. He separates his hands ready to throw. He sees the Roberts safety sitting there ready to jump the route, picks six inbounds. And he holds the ball, hitches up. And not just like, okay, I have to get later in my progression. Let me check it down. He goes later in progression down the field. He goes and attacks vertically late in the down. He was not doing this last year. So it's one game. It's one play and we can't get too far over our skis. But that is one of the most encouraging plays I've ever seen from Tua. It was so cool. I'm doing the play sheet this week on Ringer YouTube on Tua and on that improvement. That play is in there. It was such a good performance. Oh, awesome. Well, and at the same time, Jalen Hurts is on another TV just missing multiple guys down the field because his eye contact was down. You told me AFC East. You didn't tell me we were attacking again after Jalen Hurts a little bit. But yeah, not a great performance for my birds. Yeah. So with the Miami piece of this where it's like, all right, what's the ceiling of this team? The part I'm having, and I know you studied the tape and you're doing the play sheet. So you obviously got a real long look at that, whatever the F the Chargers were doing defensively. Tyreek was just wide open eight times. I don't feel like against the Patriots of New England and Bill Belichick very soon to become the most winning coach in NFL history, hopefully in the next couple of years. Pretty sure they're just not going to do the plan where Tyreek's just open all over the field. My guess is they're going to double team them, do whatever they can to limit him, keep safeties back, make sure it just kind of push everything, make Mostert run the ball all the time. What did the Chargers do wrong that you saw? Yeah, so the Chargers were one of the best defenses against the Dolphins last year, right? To a throw into the middle of the field against the Chargers in 2022. He was one for six. This game, he was seven for 11. And what a big part of that success was is McDaniel's finding new ways to play hide and seek with Tyreek, finding new ways to get players open in the middle of the field. This Dolphins offense last year was so impressive in large part because of how explosive it was. But it was compounded by how simply they got to their spots like they ran like the same stuff just over and over and over again. There was a much more diverse menu of, OK, we're going to put this window dressing and this little bauble and this little trick on this look. And we're still going to get to our same stuff. But now you can't see it coming as early. They had that they ran a lot of motion, as they always do, but they ran their motion a lot faster in this game. Instead of having a jet motion, Tyreek Hill starts moving and now he's moving across. Here he comes across and now he's on the other side and we snap it. They would just move him right before the snap. Just he's in the slot. He's outside and we go and you're giving defense a lot less time to adjust on the fly. I agree that Belichick is going to present problems to McDaniel that he didn't face with Brandon Staley. Belichick has got better players like the stars for the Chargers in this game. Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, J.C. Jackson. Holy smokes, J.C. Jackson was getting cooked like their players did not rise to the occasion. Belichick's got better players. He's going to present unique problems. But I tell you, McDaniel to me is is is the next McVeigh. McDaniel's the guy who's who's got it. And he ran into Belichick in that Super Bowl. McVeigh did. And he got, you know, his lunch money taken a little bit. But McDaniel can can use Tyreek the way he's used him to this point. So be successful. I don't know who stops this offense. I really don't. Do you have Tyreek as the most important non QB weapon in the league now or would you have somebody else? Yeah, that's a really good. I'm stealing that line. That's the best way to that's the best way to frame it for sure. Because I like I think before the season I would have been like McCaffrey, you know, and kind of talk about how the Niners run that whole thing. But with Tyreek, like you brought up like, oh, Belichick's going to put safeties deep. That's the thing about Tyreek is the moment he gets on the field, like every team in the Chargers were doing this on Sunday. They put safeties 20, 22 yards deep. You just by the presence of 10 on the field before the ball is snapped, the geometry of the field changes. And you don't get that from anybody else. The threat, just the the the the existence of the implied deep threat of Tyreek Hill changes the weight of the field. It's incredible to see because Jefferson had the wide receiver title at the end of the last year. Michael Lombardi, who was on this podcast in August, he's been adamant it's Tyreek, like he just had some quarterback issues last year. But Tyreek is the guy that tilts the field. And Tyreek, when he says stuff like, yeah, I'm going for two thousand yards this year. And you think he's on pace for three thousand. Good start. If you get the two apiece. So I think this Pats defense is really good. And you saw it against the Eagles. That was I felt good. We talked about it here on the Sunday night pod. And then I watched some stuff on Monday and I read all the all the smart guy stuff and all the smart pieces that everybody was writing on Monday. And I think the general perception was the Pats are good. Like the Pats defense. First of all, the Eagles offensive line, which is the best in the league, they were able to get pressure on Hertz. They solved the issue that they had the last couple of years with these fast QBs. How do we stop them? We're not fast enough with this plotting linebackers going after Josh Allen and Hertz. There was real speed. And then they had a lot of DBAC flexibility, which they just didn't have before. Even somebody like Mapeu, the ability to have five, six defensive backs at all times. This has been a two year fix for them. And I do feel like they kindly, you know, they kind of fixed it. How much of that was their defense is good and how much of it on Sunday was the Eagles just that crap? The majority of it is the Patriots defense being good. The Eagles slice of the pie can't be ignored. The change from Shane Steichen, their old offensive coordinators, now the head coach of the Colts, to Brian Johnson, their new offensive coordinator, who just does not have a ton of play calling experience, didn't really call plays the NFL level. That can't be ignored. The Eagles just couldn't get Dallas Gotter involved. And whenever you have a tight end as good as Gotter and he ends the day with one target and no receptions. And you had that those four three and outs, you had those series where they were herky jerky and they couldn't get anything going. It's the play callers job to get the star player involved. And the fact that he couldn't, I think, is like, you know, you've got a young player color and he's figuring it out. But in general, the majority of the pie goes to a Patriots defense that did two things really well. The first thing they did was in the offseason. They got Christian Gonzalez and Keyon White in the building. Holy smokes. Mapu too. But Gonzalez played great ball. And Keyon White. What the heck, man? That was not on the Georgia Tech field. That was very impressive. Jordan Milata, man. Milata is a good left tackle. And Judah and Uche certainly. But Keyon White gets Lane Johnson had a couple of good reps. He was the player that most stood out to me in terms of the young players. So the first thing they did is is they reloaded and they retooled really well. And then the second thing that they did was is that they really exposed the pocket presence issues for Jalen Hurts. The uncomfortability there. You don't necessarily have to get the guy down. He's a really hard guy to sack and he's obviously a good scrambler. But if you do move him off his spots, he's not a great thrower on the move because he's built like a linebacker. He's not like this like elastic band that Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson is. So he doesn't throw super well on the move and he's not as comfortable doing so. He'd rather be in the pocket, be on his first read and hammer the ball to AJ Brown. And so eventually the Eagles got to their spots right. AJ Brown over the middle of the field. They trusted their running game and they kind of hammered the greatest hits and they just out talented the Patriots. They they they ground it out over them. Yeah. When you go and you look at like success rate, the number of plays that were positive for each offense, the Patriots offense was more successful in this game on a play to play basis. Than the Eagles were. They just had the bad turnover luck that the Patriots did. They had their early scores and they weren't able to claw their way back into the game altogether, though. Great performance in the Patriots defense. Yeah. I have a lot of Eagles fans in my life and all of them were really bummed. I'm sorry to hear that. Wow. That's that's a bad win and all that stuff. And I really felt like, man, we played pretty well. Like there were multiple times that could have turned into Pittsburgh, Cincinnati. And, you know, the receivers are better. They're going to be able to run the ball. I thought that was one one positive, maybe for the Eagles, was that the run defense seems like you just seem bigger. Two giant guys in the middle. So I don't know, like you feel he's playing Minnesota on Thursday night. It feels a little little scary, like the tease is too obvious. And Vikings were plus two ninety five on FanDuel on Monday. I know that from personal experience. Jesus. Yeah. They the Eagles lost the Kobe Deen to injury in this game as a starting linebacker. They're now going to be playing Zach Cunningham, who was about as bad as you'll see a starting linebacker be on Sunday, along with Christian Ellis, who just does not have starting experience. James Bradbury's in the concussion protocol. There are outside corners were placed in this Josh Jobe. Again, a guy who does not have playing experience. They're super thin defensively. I think you're thinking stay away. I mean, I took I took over forty and half quick. And then I took a little bit on the Vikings money line just because I think this is going to be a lot of points for the Vikings. And then you have on the other side of the ball, Brian Flores against Jalen Hurts. And if there's something that hassles Jalen Hurts, it's the blitz. And there's something Brian Flores likes to do. Get after the passer a little bit. I think it could be a weird one for the Eagles on Thursday night. I like all the Goddard receiving props on Thursday. They had to have been at some point Monday, Tuesday. Just the head coach looking at the staff being like, what the hell? We have Dallas Goddard. He wasn't even involved in the offense. So if you look at the AFC East, Miami before the year was plus two ninety to win the division. And now they're plus one forty. They're now the favorites. Buffalo, who we're about to talk to, plus one twenty. They've they've fallen to plus one forty five. The Jets dropped to plus seven hundred and probably should be dropping even worse than that. And then the Pats were eight to one. And they're now nine to one on FanDuel. And that's my reaction coming out of that Monday night game. And this is I felt bad for Rogers. I felt bad for the Jets fans. But as a Pats fan, at some point you start looking at it going, we play them in week three. And that was supposed to be this really hard game in this gauntlet of the first six weeks. And now, you know, we could be getting Zach Wilson in Foxboro unless the Jets do a miracle thing. I think that Pats eight to one is kind of crazy. Miami should clearly be the favorite, but I don't know if I trust to either. Now, the odds aren't as tasty as they were. And it almost seems like the Pats are the only like long shot. I'd rather the Pats the long shot ads over any of those other ads. So talk me in. Can you talk me in the Buffalo? Is that just a bad game? What did what did you like? No, I'm not I'm not pressing the panic button on Buffalo, but it was such a weird game that you can't you can't move on the bills right now, even with them below the Dolphins. We talked about this a lot, an extra point taken with Sheila. We're like there. There are games where Josh Allen makes a bunch of knuckleheaded mistakes because he's just trying to be a superhero all the time. And it's like, OK, dude, like you're very talented. Yes, it's very cool. You can throw the ball super far. You've got to relax. And then there's games where Aaron Rodgers goes down on the fourth play of the game. And you just as a as an individual and as a captain of the team have to decide, hey, we're going to play mistake free football. Right. Win a game on the road against a divisional opponent like you're not a trick shot artist. This is not you're not you're not building out a highlight reel ever since that 2021 Chiefs Bill's incredible playoff game at thirty six to forty two. The Allen Mahomes game. Allen's been playing every game like he's got to do that. And I get that it was sick to play in that game and it was an incredible game, one of the best games, whatever. Unbelievable quarterback performance. But Allen has to mature. Allen has to decide that he's going to make decisions for the sake of the team winning, not for the sake of him hitting 50 yard touchdowns. All three of the interceptions that he threw were knucklehead stuff. Just just plain and simple. No, you can't sugarcoat it. It was just stupid, dumb decisions. And to do that in a tight game, Aaron Rodgers and the Chiefs and Mahomes like, OK, like I can at least wrap my head around it and justify it a little bit. You got to create something to do it in this game where the moment Rodgers goes gets on that cart, you say, OK, we're going to run the football. We're going to control the ball. We're going to generate a lead. We're going to make them throw their way back into this and we're going to win this thing. I thought I was I was very disappointing. But that's like a unique context. That's like, you know, in the vacuum of week one. I would not be surprised if in week two, Allen walks out and looks like the absolute wood chipper that he's looked like during stretches of the last two years. So I'm going to go wait in C mode with the bills. I didn't pick them to make the playoffs. And the case for them to make the playoffs was they have Josh Allen. So they're going to go 10 and seven, 11 and six when you and shield did your over unders and division picks and all that stuff was the same case. She was like, I he laid out all the things I'm a little worried about, but they have Josh Allen. And that's what we always said. But if Josh Allen isn't playing at the highest level, I just don't see a lot of talent with them. I don't think they're bad, but I don't think they have a lot of impact players. And you could feel it last night. Like once Rogers went out, it's like, all right, the Jets are going to run the ball. They're going to be terrified to do anything with Zach Wilson. They were still able to run the ball. And I was I was surprised by that more than anything. The fact that Sean McDermott takes that defense over from Leslie Frazier says we're going to be more aggressive. And then Aaron Rodgers goes down. Zach Wilson comes in. The only thing the Jets can do now is run the football. And they're still give up an 80 yard run to Breece Hall, like two drives later. Immediate. That was that was a sirens for me. Yeah. One of the. Well, but even even the last drive. Right. They get the turnover and you know what they're doing. They're like the Jets have decided with four minutes left that game. Zach Wilson's not throwing another pass. We're good. We're just going to run the ball. But they ended up getting a first down. Right. And then the one time they should have thrown it, I think there was two or four left. And so they knew they had the two minute coming. So the clock was going to stop anyway. And it was like the perfect play action time. The Bills had like nine guys on the line. And you have Garrett Wilson by himself over on the left. And it's like, man, if there's ever a time. If Zach Wilson is competent, even one percent, this is the time to throw a pass. But they wouldn't even do that. And the Bills still lost. Yeah. It's from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two. The Bills as it's four over four drafts, the Bills have drafted exactly one pro bowler that was Dawson Knox. He had one Pro Bowl season in twenty twenty two and then they drafted his replacement Dalton Kincaid at tight end in the first round of twenty twenty three. All along those drafts are defensive players. Right. You have a first round on Gregory Rousseau defensive end. It was like good, but you still need to take the step and kind of be the impact player. Second round pick on A.J. Binessa. Second round pick on Boogie Basham. Right. You have they got Jermaine Emmons into the building and then they spend third round pick on Terrell Bernard, who's now starting at Mike Linebacker, trying to make him the future guy there at Mike. They spent the first round pick on Tyreelum. It's a healthy scratch. Right. They spent a fourth round pick on Jaquan Johnson to be a backup safety. He can't hack it. Now you've got two over 30 year olds and Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde back there. They have been trying to land on young talent to retool the offensive line and then the defense. And they have just missed and missed and missed. They've got like some solid players in and like the Gabe Davis pick was a nice pick. Like Devin Singletary was a good back for a third rounder. He's solid, whatever. But they have not hit on impact players. And that's the issue with the Bills. The cupboard is run bare. And now you're really trying to hold this thing together. But you said on the merit of Josh Allen's talent on games where he behaves like that. No chance. I should mention the listeners. You weren't reading from anything as you were ripping that off. I really want to get you tested in like a New Mexico facility to see if you're an alien. It's like a 20 percent chance. And I wrote about the Bills. I visited them in training camp and my entire piece was basically predicated on the idea of like, hey, everybody good? Are we fine? Because you guys have missed the conference championship in the last two seasons and everybody's like, yeah, we're great. We're fine. But you go and you sit down and get to brass tacks like there's and you've talked about this a lot and rightfully so. There's so many ways this implodes. Like the last couple of years, it was like, OK, the floor is high. It's the talent and they're young and they can do whatever and they can add this and they can add that. Now, like we're getting to the the part of Josh Allen's contract where it gets super expensive. They're relying a lot on Von Miller coming back from injury to Davis White come back from injury. Everybody's two years old, three years older. Right. You can't talk yourself into Gabe Davis taking a step as easily as he did two years ago because you did it two years ago and he didn't take a step. And so it just it starts to get thinner. It starts to get harder to hold on. And and that wears on on on a on a community that wears on a locker room. And I think the Leslie Frazier change is a bit of a part of that. Right. Where. Yeah. OK. Like it wasn't that the defense was bad, but we have to make some sort of a change to feel like there's going to be an impetus for an improvement.

"Thought they released it around the start of the game to try to bury it. No question. That was just kind of my gut feeling, but that's where the connection ends. I have said this before to other people, I am not necessarily a football fan in the sense that if the Jaguars are playing the Titans, I'm sitting there and watching the whole thing, like you like so many others, right? I am not a casual, I don't do fantasy, all that stuff. But I am a die hard bills fan, right? So I don't know who the equivalent of damar Hamlin is for the Seahawks or cowboys. I know who demar Hamlin is. I know him very well. I know he's a second year guy. I know he replaced Micah Hyde, I know he's got the dress. I know he's number three. Like I know him very well. I know about Jordan poyer and Judea's wife. So when that happened, I felt a very personal connection to it because I know this guy, not personally, but I follow the team very closely. It's the only team that I watch consistently from start to finish, don't bother me for three hours when they're playing. So just seeing that and seeing him collapse and watching it with my two boys ten and 8 and then telling them to go to bed because it was starting to get more and more serious was a really heavy thing to watch. I remember Reggie Lewis. That's what a reminded me of. That was the closest thing that I remember back in 1992, I believe it was. And this was my guy and then to see guys who I admire greatly don't know personally, but Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs, Sean McDermott, all in the state that they were in, it was heavy man. I won't lie, I started to cry. Tears were coming down because it seemed like we were headed towards a really, really bad place. I love this team dearly and I also feel a great kinship to the city of buffalo and to western New York because of the fact that I've been a fan for so long, but I got to go to my first game recently and they treated us so well and they're just salt of the earth people.

"I'm so excited to go into the playoffs. But that Kansas City game is something that you're never over as a fan or as a player. So hopefully it uses that as some motivation. Brian, who do you have for you or underdog? My underdog is Michael Gallup going over 30 and a half receiving yards. Against the Tennessee Titans. Awesome, secondary. Yeah. Travis, the Tennessee Titans practice squad this week. Are they sitting? Tennessee big list of out players already. It's the Tennessee Titans practice squad every single week. So what's the difference? You're really playing this injury thing. Dude, you're not playing it when it's historic. It's not a narrative anymore. It is. Injured more than everybody else. It's plain and simple. All right, it's an easy excuse to make. We won't mention the bills and how they lost von Miller and Micah Hyde and miss Jordan poyer and Trey weight was out for the first half of the year. You can count those on one hand. I know I was gonna say four whole injuries over there. Admins miss game Milano in this game. Ellen got hurt and played through it. These are men. I don't think the Titans have like any of their starting life. Offensive line. They're missing like three defensive linemen. They did have a standard. Out of the Titans. 48 or 49 players that they played week one last week, 28 of them were out. Yeah, and not available. You can count that on, I don't know, but 6 hands. Oh, okay. Give me your list of four guys again, Anthony, please. That's terrible, but the narrative. It's a narrative. I know, I get it. You did name like 7. You're right. But it's just a narrative. It can fit any team that they have the most injuries in the league. No bills is right. Travis, what do you got? I've got saquon. Go over 95 and a half yards total. That's rushing and or receiving. Either playing Indianapolis, the Giants want to win. They're still in the playoff push. Indies going through changes. All over the place. They play well at times, but then they ultimately fall apart. I don't see how Barkley is not going to just roll over them one way or another. I hope he does.

"So he's been a wide receiver in three of I'm sorry, a wide receiver three in 5 of 7 games. So he's actually been playing pretty well. If you're looking for a solid flex guy or wide receiver three, then this week, I'm going down in people's Jones. I know you're excited for Watson to come back to see what he can do with people's drones. What people can do with Watson. Yes, I am because I do own Watson and fantasy. But yeah, the way I do it, my start sets, as I always try to pick up someone who's ranked lower as a wide receiver. So Donovan people's Jones is wide receiver 51 right now. And so the guy that I have him starting over is ranked higher than that. And I'll get to that when it's my turn. My sit of the week, sorry, I always jump at sit last week was Matthew Stafford, which was a good call. He only had a hundred and 67 passing yards and a touchdown. Yeah, beat up by the bucks defense, which the buck's defense would do that to a lot of people. This week is Kirk. Cousins going up against the Buffalo Bills? I don't have a bunch of stats to back this one up other than the bill's defense is finally healthy. Stray white should be plain, Matt Milano is back. Jordan poyer's back. They're at home in Buffalo. So that crowd will be going crazy. It's a hard place to play, rob will be there, screaming at Kirk Cousins to make sure that he performs poorly. So my sit is a couple picks. Tripling down on the bills, man. I got the under the bills taking the cover in the spread and sick Kirk Cousins. It's a big week. My goodness. All right, on to running back last week, we could probably just skip over that because I gave you bad advice. But I said to sit, the Baltimore running backs versus the saints, I guess if you started anybody besides Drake, you would have regretted it, but Kenyan Drake had 25 fantasy points last week, so oops. Bad call on that one. But I think it was risky to play him just because it was Monday Night Football and we didn't know if Gus Edwards was going to play or not. So if you decided to take the gamble, it paid off for you, but I didn't. So my set of this week is going to be Devin Singletary versus the Vikings. 5th fewest fantasy points to oppose and running backs. There's a very good chance Alan misses the game. Which I think I'll just make it harder for the offense to move and score a ton of points, which goes into the under that I said. For my pick on the confidence parlay, I think it's going to be a low scoring game. We don't know how the new offensive coordinator candor. She's going to handle calling plays with Alan being out. So do we see more James cook or maybe the new guy in the heme Heinz this game? It could be possible just to see what they have with that guy, right? So I think it's better to sit Singletary and not risk it. Start all your business. Hopefully

"Going to make it another appearance. All right. For a second there, I was like, wait, did I put him as my start? You got to be kidding me. No. So he's my sit this week. He made me look like a dork last week, and just as my revenge, I'm going to be sitting him, and he gets to play the bills defense, which obviously bills have one of the best defenses in the league. And rob, I think you said something about there was a comment by Aaron Rodgers saying that guy is making mistakes that he said that guy's making mistakes need to get less reps, which can be inferred that he might have been talking about dubs because dubs had drops last week. So I'm not feeling that energy that connection there. So sit, Romeo, Rogers tried saying that coming into buffalo is exactly what they need. And no one's going to give them a shot. And he wants to play, try to play the underdog card. I want to see the hero. And he's going to be the anti hero and get picked off by Jordan poyer. I mean, what are they going to do? Are they going to try really hard to beat the bills now? Because he said that. I never understand that. You're probably tried as hard as you probably could at the past a few weeks when you've lost every game. So now you're going to go to the bills and pretend like you're these major underdogs, which they are because they're just not good and the bills are great, but now they're going to play really hard and win the game. We're going to try our best guys. Start of the week is tua. Again, I'm going against the Lions. I did it last week with dak and it didn't work out. So people have to score points on the Lions. The worst defense in the league. I think two has looked good when he's been out on the field and healthy. He's got insane amount of weapons. They haven't seen him on a speed. We're not quite to this time of the year where weather is going to affect every game, but the game isn't a dome, which we're going to quickly be approaching that where snow and wind and all that stuff affects fantasy. So should I just keep that in mind as we move into November? So tua is my fan who will start of the week. Wait, do you have a DraftKings or the same? Same thing, yeah. Okay.

"Get picked apart and we'll hope that they make a couple mistakes and they did. The bills made just enough mistakes to let the game get away from them. Yeah. On the flip side of this, Gary, I think that this is a game where Lamar Jackson, we're going to find out a lot about Lamar Jackson. Buffalo has that rotation. They have speed off the edge. As banged up as the back end of that defense is, I think that they have as smart and as sound a front 7 categorically across the board as any team in the NFL. And I think that's a challenge, right? Because we saw Lamar just skipping through a patriots backfield defensive or patriots defensive front 7 that you would have for years put as one of the most the best fit defenses, like everybody was in their lanes, so scattershot. And so of course that bumps him up as a runner. He was able to take advantage of that against the jets, certainly. I think the bills are going to give him trouble. Or we're going to find out how back how good how excellent Lamar Jackson really is. Yeah. Yeah, and we'll see who the bills are trotting out there in the defensive backfield here. Maybe Jordan poyer returns for this one, Micah Hyde is out for the year. And yeah, they lost, they lost Christian benford, who was their opening day starter in place of TRE davious white who was still injured at 6 round rookie. He might be out. I mean, it is a group of backups right now, and you have to play very disciplined assignment football and your defensive backs are gonna have to step up and make some plays in the open field against this ravens offense. And we might just see a lot of points. They played in the postseason a couple years ago and it was super windy and buffalo and it was not a lot of points. But we might see a lot of points in this one. I hope so. I like, I like feisty high scoring, angry bills. I think that's a fun thing for me. Yeah. I agree. All right, let's wrap up the week four preview with the Sunday nighter. This is the bucks and the chiefs, a Super Bowl 50 5 rematch. I shouldn't have even tried that. Super Bowl 55 rematch. Same place too. They're back in Tampa to do this whole thing again. I don't really think there are huge question marks with the chiefs offensively. It's just in execution issue. And like, are you going to? To do the things you have to do down to down and you know, they did it for two weeks and maybe not as much last week. I think that this is going to be and again, you don't want to make too much of something, but with Patrick Mahomes in Eric bienek kind of getting in that little in that little sideline scuffle and this happens across the NFL, obviously. But if you walk into the place where just from a narrative standpoint, the kind of exposed your offense and exposes in massive air quotes because it's still very hard to stop. But a place that gave you fits and that led people to believe that you were human.

"Were missing their starting safeties. They were missing their two starting corners. I don't know, man, a lot had to go right for the dolphins like rob said. And you're not going to see one quarterback throw for over 400. And the other one throw for less than 200 and have that quarterback win too often. My second takes me to take away which is the only part of the bills that need to stay healthy is their offensive line. Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. The defense, to me, is so. Famous, hide a little bit because he's out for the year. You miss Jordan poyer and you want him to be in the game. But you miss that Oliver a little bit. But the defensive line depth is so deep that it's not that impactful. The young cornerbacks are playing well enough to win. Same thing with the young safeties. So if Josh Allen has time and offensive line is making some holes for the running backs. I still believe the bills are the best team in the league. I agree. And they don't, I think they're still the best team right now, and they don't have they were missing 6 of their defensive starters, and they were missing like three offensive lineman this game at one point and step on Diggs was out of the game. And it was just like anything I've ever really seen as far as just how many players the bills had to use. I think they used everyone on their game day roster or something like that. Well, they had every offensive lineman. They were down to their last offensive lineman. So if you want to hurt what do you do? Well, did you see the one backup lineman Doyle ended up he tore his ACL, but he was playing on it at the end of the game because there was no other guys to go in. I think I saw on Twitter they were down to like Reggie Gilliam was going to be the next guy in it. That line because they had nobody else to play. So I don't know if it was that guy just gotten it out, knowing there was no one else to go in there and he just he knew his knee was out messed up when he was playing anyway because he couldn't make it worse or. At what point do you just say let's throw a daequan Jones out there and just let him go just go attack people dude. Yeah, I mean some of those defensive linemen probably played offensive line in high school. So they have at least somewhat of an idea. You'd think that would be a better option than using a full back, but I want those guys hit our guy. Like that's it. There's a task. Stand in front of them. Run them over. I was surprised. I knew our line was beat up, but I was surprised with how often dolphins were blitzing Josh Bailey because that was always the big no no against him, but I guess if you have four hurt offensive alignment, it probably is a good time to bullets. Yeah, imagine not being a bills fan and listening to this podcast or they talk about anything other than the builds. So we're about to do that right now. A couple episodes

"He doesn't necessarily need it. Right, like when you were on the Broncos in the really lean years, you were getting double teamed and it was terrible. And you're still making it happen sometimes, but now you get to just do the only thing that you're good at. You know? And imagine that. He was, he was doing it in a variety of ways. This was, yeah, this was really impressive. And at some point the bills are going to get TRE davious white back. And they're going to be good. I don't know what else to say about them right now. They are really, really good. And it's dumb. And other people have written this too that basically we're going to chalk this up as a disappointing season. If they don't win the Super Bowl, but there's just a good chance that they just mash a bunch of people and it's going to be awesome to watch and then they're going to play, I don't know. Like the Raiders in the first round game and for some reason, you know, it's raining out and Josh Jacobs carries the makes a 99 yard touchdown on the first play of the game and it just gets weird. You know what I'm talking about? It's just, you know, I don't know. It wouldn't be a disappointing season. Let's make it a point as a collective football watching society to just enjoy this regular season as its own thing and then let's not we'll log into the postseason later on. Yes. Let's enjoy this because it's gonna be awesome. Yes. I think that's a very good lesson. Also a very good anti tanking lesson to keep in mind. Just watch your team win games and be happy about it. Let's get to the ram side of this. We'll start with Matthew Stafford. The question is kind of, was it rust? Was it the elbow? Was it chemistry with the new guys? Because this did to me feel that reminiscent of those the odo Beckham junior early days there out in the when they got beat up in San Francisco and it just wasn't meshing with the new guys and I mean gosh, Allen Robinson. Boy, even not too much of anything. But it was not a good-looking offense tonight for the rams. 46 routes run by Alan Robinson. I think and two targets one in garbage time. And again, that's with a lot of zone looks. I should say, but boy, two outside corners who I don't, I don't know if they're, I mean, that's a number three number four corner for most teams. I think in this could be my, this could just be me overrating it way too much, but I still think that Jordan poyer and Micah Hyde are able to manipulate quarterbacks better than a lot of the a lot of the safeties in the NFL. I just think that that's something that they've kind of dug in on that they have developed a rapport with and they can kind of make they can kind of make what they need to happen happen back there. Yeah. And not that it doesn't matter. Who's playing cornerback? It obviously matters, but it matters so much less with the bills than it does any other team. Calling all podcasters.

"Pittsburgh Steelers safety minka Fitzpatrick just signed a four year deal $18 million a year $18.4 million a year or more and then that's $36 million guaranteed at signing. Mink of its Patrick is now the highest paid safety ever. You're going to hear that a lot, by the way, as years go on every new contract is going to be the highest paid blah blah blah ever because there's more money than ever in football. Rams wide receiver Cooper Cup signed a three year extension worth $80 million, $75 million fully guaranteed. That's a guy from my home state of Washington went to Washington when the eastern Washington University married his college sweetheart and man, it's cool to see a guy who I watched play in college at a dinky little school eastern Washington and get that much money guaranteed. Life-changing money. Hopeless brother Kutner cub is doing well. I think about him. I wonder what he's doing in life. And man, I'm happy for Cooper Cup. And then rams de tackle Aaron Donald. Got a three year $95 million deal. He is now the highest paid non quarterback of all time in the NFL. I think a title that was once given to Khalil Mack when he signed his big contract with Chicago. So money is getting thrown around the NFL. A lot of guys are getting paid. Now there are three people who have not been paid yet that want to be paid that are notable to me. Number one is bill's safety Jordan poyer? He wants a new contract. I'm not sure that Jordan poyer is going to get a new contract. He started one years old. He's scheduled to make 10.8 $1 million this fall. He will also attend mandatory mini camp. But he is not in the top ten highest paid safeties in the NFL, which did surprise me. And I think it's market values worth around $14 million a year. But he's really close to his market value. And guys like tyrann Mathieu and Marcus Williams both make $14 million a year and I don't know. I would have thought he would be one of the top ten highest paid safeties. I think he wants to be. But he's close to his market value. He's also 31 years old. I'm skeptical he's going to get paid, but I hope he does. For his sake, you only have so many years making money and when you're making ten a year, a $4 million difference makes a big deal compared to like a quarterback who makes 35 and could have gotten 40. So that's an important three to $4 million difference for Jordan poyer. I hope he gets it, but I'm not sure that he will. Now, there are two guys that are getting paid so far off of their market value that I would say they are it's almost criminal how much they deserve to be paid. They are receivers Terry mclaurin in Washington and deebo Samuel with the forty-niners. Deebo Samuel scheduled to make $3.9 million this fall. And compared to his market value, he is getting completely screwed..

"Contracts, especially in their rooms. Like, you know, all right, so Nelson Aguilar gets a big contract. Who's going to complain on offense? Well, Damien Harris. What did you say? To feel Harry. Yeah, Nikhil, what's Nikhil Harry get a complaint? Oh, yeah, he had his trade request last year. Oh, okay. Sorry, Nikhil. Sorry we hurt your feelings. He wanted to get paid off of your 35 receptions or whatever. Like, you know, and that's sort of the point. I mean, the Patriots, I think Belichick was comfortable doing that last year because he realized, well, there's nobody really tick off in my locker room. It's not like I have like, well, except, you know, JC Jackson, but I think we kind of knew what was going to happen with JC Jackson for a while. The Patriots offer him a contract extension. I'm sure it was at least on par with what Nelson Aguilar got like $12 million a year, probably more, probably more in the $15 million range. So JC Jackson couldn't really complain. And you knew that he was basically getting to his final year betting on himself and said, I'm going to try to go get top of the market. And he got near top of the market. The soft season. So good for him. So the big thing is, is that, you know, it actually helped the Patriots, well, no, I don't want to say that because you want the good young players. And the reason that the Patriots are in this spot with their rosters because they didn't draft well for four years as Robert Kraft said. But the Patriots basically had to import talent to make up for those drafts. They did it. There's no one there to piss off, I'm trying to think if Damien Harris, Damien Harris could get mad if something happens now because he's in a contract here, but up until now, no chance for disharmony, but I do think if you're a guy like Jordan poyer and you look at what the bills are doing, be like, you just hand it von Miller all this money and he's never played here before and here I am..

"Browns trade a lot of draft capital. They gave an enormous, unprecedented contract to Watson at this point. The one thing I kind of worry about and it's something, you know, you saw it with, let's say, Josh Allen out in Buffalo. Ivan Miller wanted to play with Josh Allen. You see it all the time at top, right? Guys want to go play with Tom Brady. Guys have wanted to go play with the Patrick Mahomes Lamar Jackson, et cetera. I do wonder in the short term because again, your right Connor, I think in three or four years, this is going to fade into, I don't know, the deepest recesses of our collective consciousness and it's just not going to be a thing anymore. I don't think deshaun Watson will ever be as beloved as he was early in his career. But it will get to a point where kind of like with Roethlisberger. He's just, he's just kind of another guy out there. I wonder in the short term because the browns are going to need this to happen. Will guys come there and say, I want to be a part of this. I want to be part of this organization. It's always been a tough spot to recruit people to. Just because of the weather and frankly with the not only the history of the franchise, but some might say the current ownership situation with the franchise. But you saw out in Buffalo of von Miller is heading out there, buffalo was not a landing spot either for free agents. So I just wonder short term, you know, next off season, are they going to get those guys to be like, yeah, they got something going up there. I'm going to go there and take a little bit less. Boy, they'd have to be, I mean, I don't know what the suspension is going to look like, right? Like if it was half a season, for example. It would have to be a hell of a last 9 games for me. You know, I think players are getting so squeezed right now. Like if you saw the juju Smith Schuster contract and Kansas City, like the real juju Smith Schuster contract. These guys are getting peanuts. Relatively speaking. Football. Peanuts. And they have to have a locked in guarantee that this thing is going to work out. And that they're going to get playoff bonuses and that they're going to do a lot of this stuff. So I think for Vaughn, that's a pretty safe bet. I think you look at that defense. You look at having Micah Hyde and Jordan poyer in the back, you know, I'm going to get to the quarterback 9 or ten times. I'm going to get my sack bonuses. I'm going to get my stuff. I can't imagine that this is an established destination. And here's why I say that..

"I would grade them out as probably a net negative, but it wasn't defensively they kind of saved themselves a little bit. The bills get von Miller. Big contract there. Kind of a surprise. We knew von Miller wanted to play for a contender, but we figured it was going to be either LA or Denver. And he's off to buffalo. And look, there's not a whole lot to break down here. He's an upgrade over Jerry Hughes, is a wonderful Jerry Hughes, had been in Buffalo. And this is what you have, especially if you're in the AFC, you need to win with a four man pass rush and von Miller is a guy who helps you do that. I love pairing him with the defense that has Micah Hyde and Jordan poyer, you know, 'cause they already hold quarterbacks in the pocket longer than probably any safety tandem in the NFL. You got some beefy guys in the middle and you got a coach who loves to stunt, I think this is a home run. Now, you're probably gonna suffer mildly twice a year against the Patriots because I do think that Vaughn is the net negative against the run right now. And I think he has been for a while. But I mean, you have larger aspirations there. I mean, even if you wanted to play von 30% of the snaps against the Patriots, I don't think anybody's going to care or judge you on that. Because they can neutralize you on that. Mac Jones just gets rid of the ball really quickly. And probably we'll get rid of the ball even more quickly next year. This upcoming season. But so in a lot of ways, it's like, okay, Vaughn struggles there, but like he could legitimately between the jets and the dolphins have like 30 sacks this year and with that defensive line with that safety tandem, that's I don't think any team knew themselves as well as the bills did in free agency. Like everything was so, really wonderfully targeted. And they finally got that second tight end too. I mean, I had been hearing before free agency last year that they were on the short list for the earth's trade and that they really they really wanted him and ended up just not materializing for the value and credit for going out and getting someone younger. I mean, OJ Howard can block, I think he is just never really got out from underneath the target share in that offense. I think there's just a lot to like about that signing. And then roger saffold the cod summit inside outside zone guy. So great, great signing there. Screen game Maestro. Let's see it guys. They did miss out on JD mckissick when he got away. But in a way, and again, the check downs are going to be big this year, but if you have Josh Allen, there's less of a need for the check downs because his scrambling in a way is your check down in a lot of situations there. I love the Tim settle ad, I think Tim settle is not a major upgrade, but an upgrade over Harrison Phillips in the middle of that line, who they lost the Vikings and free agency. And yeah, you said it with Howard. I don't want to be a draft slot dork here, but I love the idea of getting a talented guy who played on a team where the coaching staff just wasn't very good. And by the time Tom Brady got there to sort of fix that offense a little bit, he was behind rob krakowski in the pecking order there..

"And there's an inherent confidence there too like I didn't see Mike hide flinch and they were backed up, so that was the perfect view for us because in the bills press box, we're in the corner of the end zone. And so they were backed up right against us. And so, and I was watching hide anyway. And you're right. He didn't he didn't move on the fake. He also saw Jordan poyer had hunter Henry and I mean they've worked so well together for so long. He's like, I'm not even moving up on that because I know he's got him covered. And so why don't I just kind of start heading in this direction, but still, I think next gen stats had it. He closed 24 yards in 2.9 seconds, which is just ridiculous. And made like a Willie Mays catch right out in front of Nelson Aguilar's face. But it was tremendous. And then I think from a confidence perspective for them to come back then and continuously run the ball like Devin Singletary has now emerged as a legitimate rushing threat. And there was like a lot of effort, bills are funny. Like after the game, there was like, oh, you know, just basically them making fun of reporters all year for being like, ah, you guys didn't believe Singletary. And it's like, well, you know, they were, you know, they had a reason to not believe for a long time. And now he's playing well. So good for you guys. Everything is working out. But home run day for Brian Abel, I thought that was just that that was your just laminated the resume. You bought the fancy paper for the resume and you turned that in. And I love the fact that they just did not take their foot off the Patriots throat at all. I mean, they were they were thrown play action dimes up 40 to ten. And that was the kind of night where you just go into the rest of the playoffs kind of like rolling a little bit. It reminded me of a little bit of like how the leech and the boom Seahawks used to treat people and it worked for them, confidence wise. You know, that you get something rolling going there. You saw a hint and look, Josh Allen and his throwing the ball was sort of the story of the game here. But you said it was Devin Singletary and you saw something of a different identity that we haven't seen from this offense this year. I feel like Reggie Gilliam, they don't have the stat counts out at PFR yet, but I'm guessing that was his season high for sort of snap percentage or at least around there. So you have two backs out there. You can do that if you want. And you can also just have Josh Allen just throw it all over people and boy. If you are the Patriots and for two decades, everyone in that division was looking at you and saying, what are we going to do about Tom Brady? We have to figure this out. The past three games, sorry, let me rephrase that. So the past four games, but we're throwing away the Gale force wind game in December. So that day. I enjoyed that game fine. I just thought the takes off of it were ridiculous, specifically the takes that were like, well, you know, Belichick doesn't have any respect for Josh Allen, and that's why he was willing to go out there and it's like, no, that's not all. Josh Allen just destroyed his defense, less than a year ago. So the last three games where we've had normal conditions between these two teams, bills are just under 40 points per game. The last two games, they haven't punted a single time..

"I think it backed up against the snow funny and so it made. It was the same color as the bills, players, jerseys, so they were like on the outside of the hashes, so like during like routes like Cole Beasley would partially disappear for portions of the route. And I just didn't like that. I was worried about Cole Beasley. You know, I just wanted to make sure that he was there, you know? Well, with your experience with tight ends, disappearing off the screen. It could be. I could see why. But yeah, just to be clarify, I don't think anything dirty was done on that play, but Matt Ryan crosses the goal line and because Jordan poyer is already run, running that way, right? He kind of tumbles over him. And, you know, again, you can't really control that. You're running at each other, and there wasn't like any head contact or anything. But like, I don't know, maybe he said something like, why are you diving at me? I already made it across the goal line, which I guess in retrospect is sounds a little bit like a taunt. So maybe I should be tracked my previous tank. That's where we landed after this debate among the jury. Yeah, great. Great. Really going out in a high note here guys. It's gonna be funny when Gary and I it'll be like the ultimate sad podcast and everyone will know we're really reeling like I'll make Gary doing an entire show on the falcons post Jenny just gave it to just be the two of us being like, we miss Jenny and we hate the falcons and man and then we'll just fall apart from there, you know? Jaguars patriots. So there's something really insulting about the score 50 to ten. It's just too many round numbers. It shouldn't happen. It's unnatural. Yeah, got it. Sorry. No, I was just, you know, I think that's a tape, you know? I enjoyed this game, particularly because of the fact that Mac Jones and Bill Belichick kind of shared a lighthearted moment like first of all big emotional Mac Jones game, a lot of Mac. Yeah. Emotion, I thought I was gonna try to put Mac into a motion that I had it there for a second, but not a word combination. I could work. He was max sighted. He was very maximum, I guess. Got it. You got it. Yeah, I got it. But it was fun to see sort of the juxtaposition of I guess in like a big picture sort of thing like the idea of what Tom Brady had always wanted this gargantuan star power team crumbling and almost losing to the jets and then Bill Belichick and Mac Jones like buddy the buddy cop young rookie and old gruff sergeant kind of thing they had going on there. It was sort of a cute little thing. I enjoyed it. I thought it was an important game for Mac Jones, like yes, it was against the Jaguars, but you know he had two rough weeks, a lot of talk about The Rookie wall, the longest season he's ever played. And he had a bounce back game. Gives a little bit of confidence going into the playoffs and that was also what they did today. They clinched a playoff bed, which, you know, you have to say they had one down year after Tom Brady, and they come back and now they're back in the playoffs, bills will probably win the division. But they're in the playoffs as a wild card team and you know, I think it's pretty been pretty impressive year in terms of how they built a roster that could win and how they rebuilt this quickly after the Brady era..

"Havoc. It's definitely something. It's a good thing to have. But if you were saying this was the NBA, it's kind of like having an awesome three point shooter. But if you're if you're now traded to lottery picks for this guy and giving him a huge contract and made him one of the focal points of your team, it goes a little sideways. Is Adam's especially guy or is he somebody who can be like one of the best three guys on a championship team? No, a specialty is the right way to put it. Whenever we talk about safety, especially in the changing NFL, we're talking about versatility, multiplicity, the ability to fill a lot of different roles. Because now I can hide what I'm doing as a defense structurally. If we take is a great example, I like the bills right now. Micah Hyde and Jordan poyer are their safeties. Both of them can do everything decently well. So put them both deep and move them around. Sometimes we're going to go single high is going to come into the boss. He's going to blitz. He can man cover. We can do it all. Atoms is a very polar skill set. If he's in man coverage over to tight end, you want to throw the ball to that tight end because he's going to uncover. That's how Adams is. He's always been. If you can get atoms in the box, he's going to light somebody on fire. You know what I mean? He is explosive in terms of physicality. So now, atoms is always playing in the box. And I'm always trying to hide it from man coverage, which means I always need a nickel on the field. And that means quandary digs has to always play deep. And now I've become static. I'm getting a guy where he's most dangerous where he's most effective for me. But I can't lie to the offense anymore. And so now that can pick their spots to target atoms, pick their spots to avoid atoms. They know what coverage I'm going to be in there. They're going to know what I'm doing. So when you have highly specialized players on offense, think about like a Marquise Brown, receiver for the ravens. Brother is smallest heck, but he is fast and he can fly. That's very useful. I like the role players on offense. On defense, I don't like role players. I want multiplicity. I want versatility. I want to be able to lie to you. I want to make you think after the snap. Adams is a highly specialized player, even when Seattle puts him in maximal spots, he gets 9 and a half sacks in 2020. It's not wholly to the benefit of the defense at large, because now offense is kind of know what they're going to get from you when he's on the field. So he sounds more like a big man in basketball then. Yeah. He's in the game. We have to slow it down and run our offense through him, but you kind of know that's what we're going to do. Because of where I'm at mentally on this day, October 19th, I'm thinking about Ben Simmons, in terms of right. When sandwich is on the court, I know what he can do when I know what he can. So he gets the ball behind the three point line. I don't give a who. Now I'm playing 5 on four, right? Well, in the case of atoms, again, like if Adam's in man coverage, I know where I want to go with the ball. It makes my job easier when I'm facing this guy 'cause he's so specialized. Jamal Adams, the Ben Simmons, although he wants to play unlike Ben Simmons. I spent the last 5 hours dreading that you were gonna bring up Ben Simmons, and then I brought up Benson. I don't want to do this conversation. With the Jamal Adams thing, how you talked about the versatility. That's I think why Belichick loves Jamie Collins so much. 'cause he's embodied in the world's greatest athlete, Jamie Collins, where it was just a joke. He could do everything, but he could drop in a past coverage. She could basically do everything, and that's why they're so attracted to him, whereas Hightower, at this point of his career, their situations where if I see, if I see the back of Hightower's Jersey and he's chasing some tight end and the ball is in the air, I'm like, oh my God, here we go. It's like he's not those same versatile guy was four years ago. And I think that's one of the reasons they've struggled to get stops on some of these third insurance. I mean, they've had a bunch of issues, but this is the same thing with the Macquarie brothers. Why you like them, right? Because of their coverage ability. Now, there's, as always, there's always going too far. There's all things in moderation because sometimes you love versatility so much. You give 24 million over four years to Jalen mills. And then you put jail and those in the football field and discover, just 'cause he's done everything. Doesn't mean it's good at anything. You can be versatile, but only up to a point. You still gotta be able to do something at a high level. So there's a balance that has got to be struck. My dad always has at least one guy in the team that he can't stand in mills has become the defensive guy in this patriots. He's like, Bill, Scott. Wow. Because I totally. Yeah, no, I told him when we signed him. He's like, who's the guy?.

"That we gotta do, right? And I think that's really, you know, it's caused a shift and coaching to where if your guy can't do something well then a cater to them. The quarterback is kind of the heart of the football team. If your quarterback can't do something well, you know, maybe he's inaccurate. Okay. Well work on his accuracy while you develop more ways to run the ball and maybe do quarterback around again. And that was something that Josh excelled in. So while he's still working on his fundamentals and his accuracy, every single day, trying to be the best player, he can be, we decided as an offense that we're dead. Shift our philosophy a little bit to cater to what you know, helps us win games and for Josh that was running the ball. Lots of play actions allowed him to be creative and make, you know, Defenders Miss. So he can wage done plays downfield. That was what he excelled in. Yeah, I will always tell people last year, Watching Josh Allen. Justin Herbert Shred the NFL. That's why I was so high on trade Lance in the NFL draft and like this guy bought a coat estate. Yeah. He's got a weird hitch in his step. I might be a couple of mechanical flaws. Can you not coach him like cuz clearly Josh Allen got coached up clearly. Justin Herbert got better with coaching. It's like it's not like guys are just stunted and can't ever get better and it's very obvious watching. Josh Allen last year. This guy got way more accurate way better footwork. It's pretty fun to watch. I guess, I'm curious cuz I I I don't know where I'm going this but I I always I look at it and go man. It's so cool to see a guy doing so well. And I watch I think it was Jordan poyer. The bills safety came out and said like, that's he watched him hurdle. Somebody or die for a touchdown. To do some kind of like crazy impressive, like lay it on the line play, read over something and was like, that's the kind of guy I want to play with you say. Like it was that chip on a shoulder? He's a ruthless competitor. Do you have any other stories about that guy? Just putting out on the line and making stuff happen? Well, I think, I mean not to continue talking about Josh because, you know, he was kind of a face alignment football. At that time, I think it goes to show that song inspired a whole generation of student-athletes at Wyoming to just have that confidence in that, Swagger step on the field with that chip on their shoulder. My first and most memorable memory. As a gaming cowboy, was a triple-overtime thriller against Northern Illinois at home. We had a huge thunderstorm rain delay and I think the game kicked off at like 11:30 p.m. Thursday on a super tired and didn't want to be there..
