The -- our blood our way -- Burleson mom -- current. In house joining us as he does each and every Friday. -- NFL insider oh good sense of Osama. Corey get sensitive now mcenroe not a real NFL insider program NFL dot com NFL network. Our -- victory that. -- I got guys -- overwhelmed next you know what's the temperature up buffalo the year kazmir was going to be but -- looks at buffalo that was in the bottom. I do it's going to pull the strike and I it's.

Going to be in the 30s yet when Chris -- buffalo was in the 30s lots of snow on the south -- spread of the former. They're games on on there's not much Wheeler in the off at the stadium what's going to an all I don't these comics not bothered probably snow on the ground I don't think it'll be this noble who. But I think will be in the 30s and crisp -- no lock out is all -- And people in this town are crates they heard that they are actually the man -- cruiser. Pulled entity John and came it was like the Pope was come out the pocket it turn out. So bad guys here that they're they're just worship them and they and guys they are is focused. There's a belief in this town that they're going to make history and and often featured what almost -- cover this cover the 60s -- ever actually with a game. Are when the game I you know anything they've got a 100 no doubt about it they want to see a good game I want to -- gave me an and I think well you know bullets in his -- arch is Marshall which could apply. He's doubtful he's been awful but -- rule them out until until kick up so we would have told us today I was gospel today don't be so sure he won't play but they have prepared that -- prepared you know the -- and -- Thomas. Were Wright is acute it's an interest in kid he if you -- the right he believes he can do everything -- do. Now I don't know I haven't seen enough of them that reddies he had some moments in the pre season ambience to see with it Childress thinks he can do everything ready my students. Maybe it's it's -- on that on. I think --

He's been one guy he's the one guy if he -- it is not a 100% post a 100%. The one thing that buffalo could do in this game is weighted ball control in the way that he runs effectively they can keep the office patriots offense off the field and keep -- game.

The buzz I've heard from within the bills this week is this -- Fielder they're going to come up with a scheme -- haven't seen it got something defensively. Defensively that they haven't they've studied the colts they thought that the two deep zone type remember the bills are two deep zone type team for the big points they felt that they had. Some pretty good success with -- giving in and around Randy moss except that he just reached out snatched but he had to work first catches they feel it got to make him work harder for what he gets. Two it was huge in this morning's walk through Friday walk through. The linebackers alignment -- of the Mets took it upon themselves to go out early. Ahead of the organized workouts with the coaches they went out -- coaches and went through this whole thing like -- like they're sold piled into the -- around -- team -- and its derivatives Vick is that -- part is -- though is that it just come off a bye week and listening to them talk all week days are dialed in today's game that they should be -- with an extra week and that's the expectation is that politics but of course you know bills -- people whining that. While this -- always have the next week to prepare for buffalo. Why they always -- off by -- War on therefore -- bars there's a bus you know the Miami game almost became -- was killed because they played so poorly yet found a way to win. But that's what comic you rationalize like. You know what -- was a time when the bills -- stumbled and fumbled and would lose again for a four game winning streak isn't is it is kind of a new thing in these -- life and -- mushroom and struggled so badly last week even though we have a great three touchdowns while I'm 92 point I was using 1961 with the games that we don't. Executive -- Miami was where it's you know they. Again talk about -- that. Any it's pretty well works at the bills workers challenge and downfield and kept everything pretty close the line of scrimmage they're pretty effective job. As you pointed out but when he got close you know like it's seven at an amazing three or tests -- in an even more amazing two point conversion run. I think it was just the sense that today if the -- challenged him deep JP wood and the turn him over and and they they have not given him the freedom to do a lot. I'm hearing and expecting that will be different this week that they feel that the one thing teams don't do enough votes to count.

That's the you -- why they don't do that. They don't challenge them because they get beat on press coverage -- I think they're looking at the Dallas game they say well we you know we challenge Dallas because. A role Mota profile receptions -- always a sign up I see him throw guys more that up precision. Cassell like radius right Romo throws better when he gets pressured scrambles if they -- companies you see all those great the pretty boy observed the field -- going to be put 'cause of the routes because the defense. Which makes much more difficult for the matchups because let's face it regularly take Randy out. And -- that walker had enough Stallworth. Well very good plays this this defense what they run with their pressure -- movement in the man coverage on the quarterbacks and they played a soft -- to -- in the cornerbacks a lot of times this make coverage. Cleveland did that they play they look some somewhat successful than another team tries that gets blown off the face Europe which Miami was -- cartilage is that a pressure. And they got blown out same with the same thing happen with Washington. You know run of the two deep zone in pressured Nicole in the corners and I -- killed so.

Yet if I or could have seen it not work I I think you're right and -- and I think the other thing that is a factor in this game and not a small one. And because it was a factor in Indianapolis is crowd that there will be. And atmosphere and environment I don't think now think they need to I think what the piped in aloha bowl liquid brokerages did the play Denver averages I think we'll take care of this noise -- at least early out of there in this game for more than squarely on the Dallas thing. Was -- was a sight to behold that the excitement level and there's a feeling that this is wrapped up even more. And and looked there's that over the that the crowd of people here a lot of people here. Which you know have not forgotten even though that was the beginning of a Super Bowl season. What happened in all three what happened with that opener and how bad the past looked at how human and vulnerable they looked -- and I know that was a different pitchers would -- have people here now but but I'm just saying there is -- you know -- people are -- when you're here -- they were still think -- camp went -- and AFL championships so if you -- or -- but -- it's like okay we can -- that that -- feel very much like they have a stake in this and and that they feel very much like they can affect. The outcome and in the middle -- it into the.

The bailout for awhile and obviously if -- if the patriots who have been very good getting out early out of the box only once did early leads. Right quietness -- me this question let's go to the offensive -- Buffalo's offense Redick is like completely see it we're talking about it earlier. Special teams -- Roscoe Parrish running back Ricky you know anyone -- section of scoring somewhere there how do they score in inches nowhere close to 100%. All of the pressure suddenly becomes. On on Losman and right and with this defects and the pressure that little point of trying to figure out how they score as game.

While I think they I think they their first and foremost thought is is that the front side that they feel. That they can shorten the field you know try to help -- help the offense that we get some turnovers may -- do some think he doesn't want to make him throw on the move or they feel he's less accurate thrown outside the pocket and and try to do some things in that regard. And I I think that's the belief that if you give JP shorter field let him throw underneath routes or let him throw deep to try to challenge -- they said go back to challenge think. I think that's what they feel they feel his arm. There isn't a corporate -- few -- in the league. Who will keep up what Lee Evans after a step if he's able to keep it tool and he told me accurately now. Again we didn't see them last week he would lie and -- and he does have a very good one I mean it when he's on with that it's very hard to stop I've seen him do some pretty remarkable things with that and my sense is based on everything I've heard they wanted they want to go for an early. Or shot shock and off the won't have -- patriots feel that write off bad in other words they're going to start on knockout punches week it was one throw around house's yet and if they mess and the -- killer kitten and it backfires yeah could -- game -- very quickly what do they what do you got to look off Olympic you know be better than with -- All I I tend to think. That that trend is that is the better guy to have yes and and I and and I also believe that there's greater confidence within the team with him running things they don't trust. Right now his wrist this healthy enough now I think if his health were different. This would be a different decision with quarterback they they believe. He is more precise he is quicker. He's more decisive and he is more in control and command and he you know he doesn't when things are going bad -- is going to make them worse when things go bad for GP he's.

Particular -- point. About the conference -- would sound played supposedly his second third best team football. In in should've won that game and they it by fake punt. The right pondering -- run threats that it really creative and that's what big Dick Jauron was missing the past. His creativity is some balls the goal is very conservative Cody but you what do you all it was -- man and he went right that makes -- more dangerous.

Freddie had a supplement and one here's the difference yet you know we think of him button down Jauron in these balls would be this guy who just want to take chances and what did he. What was his worst quality with the Chicago Bears offense don't know feel our grasp. For how to get that going as a defensive -- guy but you know when you're the CEO you've got to have it feel. He has changed in in this past year to this extent he's given the green light. Sometimes ill advised. Too risky things I mean the third and five against Denver in the opener where they basically have -- running well. You know the clock management if he if you they've run a play there -- don't even get the first down. They've likely left last time for Denver to have gotten off that last second field all the when the game they played Dallas they got a third nate and he gets the green he gives -- your rookie quarterback the green light the throw the -- pattern tickets intercepted and taken back -- from that point -- a whole series chain of events. Changes it suited to the cowboys favor so they're they're going to go for things I think they're gonna just want fourth. You know they have they have done JP running -- fourth and one eight against Miami and that was a turning point opponent again that was actually the best thing JP yeah.

After that this is a different animal plus we talked about. You know the match up. With reunion in Mathis with Indianapolis and social bullet are what they can market account -- Chris tells tells us just most to a faster Schobel has more sacks in the -- anyone football so. That a factor with the noise will be -- will be effective if the patriot if the Buffalo Bills hanging in there you know -- keeps up they'll be a factor along for the game I think.

I think Angelo crawl who's been also on another underrated guy man defense on the Giorgio. These are sort of under appreciated under the radar means that just make plays and and I think. They can make it very dangerous very dangerous game for. New England if that but but the thing I I do go back to is I can't name another another team obviously that is more focused. And the patriots are more more ready to handle these types of things that I I think their this -- but this will be the test that this will be the -- right because because. If we believe that they've been focused enough. Not only. To not look to another -- game not to look to another play. Until one it's not right. I think that's with this whole game comes now parliament about the -- a bigger test coming in you -- year and that's the Pittsburgh game is art or least it was for real. Yeah they're for real because of their offensive balance their their strong running game they're strong run the fence and I think Ben Roethlisberger has officially in fully -- there was -- He's really.

You know a lot better reading recently guy. But watching a ball to a game -- talked to guys about early connect to Cleveland that game which rolled real completely blow. What when he gets in trouble he just doesn't run a look to dump the ball looks down field you can't drop coverage. Baltimore dropped coverage three times with three touchdowns and really they held -- Pittsburgh point three yards rushing. So that -- to a team that just doesn't look to make first downs the practical for the whole run of which makes it more dangerous and Roethlisberger can move to get the ball well -- that adds a dimension to and.

And he's a liberated quarterback he feels you whether this is entirely true. He feels you know the shackles are gone meant that when can -- hunt who they you know they did not have a good relationship with Ken believed that that you had to keep this guy on under wraps and I think he just felt his. Mid major routes did not from you know keep him or or maybe prepare him. Well enough to do all the things that that maybe he should have been allowed to do that now Bruce Syrians as -- sport there is a line that. Hey -- it's rare that you gonna have a game in which two teams come out with possible hangovers from it but. The Indianapolis Colts in San Diego Chargers San Diego's Jacksonville Indianapolis that's the jets' first Indianapolis. Are you seeing any kind of regression accumulated point. I definitely can't -- him. Yeah a use aggression will pay me and it trying to do too much now that he's consistently and comment that was -- what was going through my mind watching that game is is I saw a quarterback who said we -- were were down so many people the only way we're going to DO win this game as I've got to try to take some chances that that he normally doesn't take him -- it was ridiculous. To see how many times he was forcing throws in the places and you always gave him that is the benefit doubt that that's not what Peyton Manning does he did it backfired badly yet they were still in a position to win this win that game which I think spoke. More to how mediocre really the San Diego TV -- tape that I don't then reminded us there reminded us here -- going to have some of the situations to number it is faced over the last few years with Chela or -- now. Yeah and it's a different story died and you know he I I think but but to say that he's regressed Tom I don't know that I'm going to go that far right maybe maybe the desperation we have yeah yeah I -- it it hadn't been there and it shouldn't it shouldn't have to be a problem this week this is a get well game I think the chiefs. Now they're starting Brodie Coyle I think -- pretty clear where they're going races.

Downhill is dead -- at them. What city which yet and -- all about this although -- second part of what might drop the obvious is that Carrie is that the worst Mickey -- your brain right now so all all at least that's what he does take its victory actually it's funny at them a red on its document the via Europe and while Thomas and here's my question is. I I I -- think Jacksonville it with David corps back in the lineup. You -- memories Jones Drew and and Fred Taylor they they've got something going that was such a confidence game for them last week against Tennessee. That I think they can still -- do I fully expect him beat that's two things that went by the logical formula Robert without official one other question before we let you go you -- celebration it's resorts because the -- most drove ole hole it can you hear another there's the parade go by history years you know this is a this is the rally -- audio listen what I. Now what happens when there. What -- this realistic articles that it's over the weekend with the well it. Yeah the first the ball good then that'll be number one and then and then number two. Is they will be met by parade for sure now I don't know if we should identify year overplay this the -- he owns some things that the bills -- chip but there's back so in other -- business in the welcomed with open on -- is yet city hall is said the keys there and it's everything's -- he's just got to go up the steps walked Guillen and he's you know he's got this place yes they read British -- the center -- from the I don't think she's I think she's planning to be here yes for you know two welcome -- and really just tried to reason -- I feel my in my opinion it is today. The best additionally -- to -- questions handed to let it is the only reason I like that recently released it was different you know that would it. I'd -- It looked like actually all right guys serious at a senior Barbara -- victory
