00:00not go to the doctor right i know that's what i it's kind of what i'm saying i love that
00:03you
00:03have a friend henrik i know me too mike show up in the bulldog here sal capaccio on the uh
00:11west her hotline so bulldog says he's impressed but not excited about my little survivor teams
00:17sal's got that touchdown one and i think his is tougher to do well to survive because what sal
00:25like any given week pick any player in the nfl to score a touchdown at best you might be even
00:31money
00:32to be right i mean at best and you can't pick the same guy twice and that correct so here's
00:36sales
00:37sailing into week eight right yeah 250 people started we're down to 23 i'm still in it and i've
00:43i i kyron williams was my guy yesterday he got that touchdown for the rams and you know i mean
00:49it's just
00:49like every week i'm like okay who do i take i gotta take a guy to score a touchdown this
00:53week
00:54and you know we're so i'll be digging into that this week a little bit it's kind of crazy actually
00:58i think to to be here and still alive i would love to ride along uh i've gotten we've texted
01:03the last
01:04couple of weeks on this and i mean there's always a lot of luck in it but you got away
01:09with it with
01:10karen williams they they really didn't even use him that much in this game was quorum who also scored
01:15right maybe you could use quorum i i could i think i haven't used chuba yet yeah you know and
01:22i like
01:22i haven't used jsn yet okay well i liked hubbard yesterday but i don't think he scored like they
01:29got destroyed carolina um so interesting i look forward to hearing uh what you do in week eight
01:37so bill's off the bye what's the schedule is everybody back in town we don't have deon
01:42dawkins today by the way i should say that at least once it would normally be right now
01:45but because of the bye week things are a little bit different um what's the what's the layout i think
01:50that should tell you that maybe they're not all back in town i really don't know but uh they don't
01:53have to be they don't have anything till wednesday i'm not sure of when they have to kind of check
01:58in get the game plan for the week and all that maybe that is tonight maybe that's today uh maybe
02:03a little bit tomorrow but i do know that you know you have to have i think four days off
02:08according to
02:08the cba that would have been probably thursday friday saturday sunday so maybe your people getting
02:11back into town today and then you ramp it up starting wednesday so the schedule is a normal
02:17sunday 1 p.m game which means wednesday media practice thursday practice friday practice
02:24game on sunday we got a call about 15 minutes ago from a listener asking how far can the bills
02:32go
02:33if this remains their defense like if they don't shape up on defense so to speak what's your answer
02:40to that because you know bulldog i think you might have just gone ahead and said that yeah they're
02:45they can't win like this right did you not yeah i win big yeah i mean yeah i think if
02:51their defense
02:51doesn't get better i don't see them winning the one seed they could win the division they have a lead
02:56um and i have a hard time seeing them without the one seed eventually going on the road and beating
03:02a
03:02good team with the defense that's in this state i mean there's still a long time to go between now
03:07and
03:07then and i guess this is kind of the weak sale coming out of the buy i don't know how
03:13much detail
03:13we'll get from them as the week ramps up here um maybe we'll just have to wait until sunday for
03:19the answers to see if anything is different that can be personnel that could be a percentage of
03:27blitzing and man coverage which has been very low much lower than i think most observers expected
03:33from a defense that was billed as this one was coming into the year um so i think it's a
03:40big week
03:40to see if they're if they feel changes are necessary um and you know try to get this thing
03:48on track to where they're not giving up 30 a week so to start with the question of you know
03:55winning i
03:56mean the the question of sustainability has been with all of us here for the last few weeks right
04:00i really after week two or three and like well how sustainable is this and i agree with you i
04:04think
04:05that as you play the better teams as the weather turns a little bit and your offense you might not
04:09be able to score 32 points a game which it's doing right now um eventually that catches up to you
04:15and
04:15if it doesn't catch up with you in the regular season for enough games to really hurt you
04:19then i think trying to run the table in the playoffs doing that is is really really hard so
04:26are they good enough offensively because they're so historic right now what they're doing
04:31sure if they kept that up i think you'd have to really keep that up though and that's very tough
04:36tough to do as well um you'd have to continue to outscore your problems all the time and i don't
04:41know if any team can do that to be honest with you especially against really good teams that
04:45are gonna be able to kind of find ways to get you to punt once in a while turn you
04:49over here
04:49and there right so you're gonna need some stops from your defense so i think that's number one then
04:53to your point bulldog about this is the week yeah i mean jim leonard told us going away like
04:58that was his job this week go go and find solutions find how they can try to figure things out
05:03to
05:03make it you know they're not giving up the points they're giving up on the defensive side we know
05:08they have the tradavious white signing not that that's a cure-all or anything but we know that
05:12they're thinking about and even actually doing things that point in the direction of what we
05:18have isn't good enough we have to figure out other things we can do i don't know where that leads
05:21you
05:22though you know going into this week and then of course the trade deadline a few weeks what kind of
05:25help it's i'm glad you brought up trey white because that that happened and i know it got talked
05:30about on the station and i've heard you talk about it on the station i don't think it's come up
05:34in
05:34here when we've been on uh certainly with you or any we didn't talk about it that day and i
05:38thought
05:39after the words i'm like we didn't talk about i know i thought the same thing driving home like what
05:42what the hell was that i got a question yesterday on the golf course what uh what do you think
05:47about
05:47trey white i'm like oh my god we haven't even mentioned it yeah i forgot um well so we'll we'll
05:53try to
05:53make up for it now so because i i think you might remember this when when he was brought back
05:59last
06:00time or no maybe even before he ever left um i i had a thought like is it maybe time
06:07to consider
06:07transitioning him to it like how realistic is it to transition him to safety um and i at the time
06:16you
06:16told me just the skill set is so different you're there's a lot more backpedaling when you're playing
06:20corner as opposed to running forward uh from a safety position it just might be a big ask and like
06:27i don't know i i wonder if they view him as something to maybe help out back there irrespective
06:33of how the corners are playing i give it much more of a thought or space now mainly more because
06:40of
06:41the new scheme bulldog yeah yeah i think if this is sean mcdermott's scheme i'm not giving it much
06:45of a i'm like yeah i mean i guess then it's more on trey his age is that what they
06:50think he
06:50can do i think this scheme he could play the cj garter johnson type of role maybe even more of
06:56a
06:56like just a center fielder go try to be a ball hawk you know we're not going to ask you
07:01to have
07:01to make a bunch of tackles you're gonna have to once in a while but he's not the most physical
07:04guy
07:05in the world you know um he's always been a kind of a willing guy to have to make a
07:08tackle but not
07:09necessarily the guy you want you know at the scene when you have to be able to do that in
07:13a critical
07:13situation so um but i think this defense a little more conducive they can put cole bishop
07:17more up in the box they can put him more in a deep center field role i don't know if
07:22that's
07:22what they want to do for with him though so that is certainly something we will ask joe brady my
07:26guess is he will not tell us that on wednesday you know uh it's certainly something we can ask
07:31tradavious white i don't know he'll tell us that on wednesday or thursday when we get a chance to
07:35talk to him but i yes you are right for the last every time it's come up in the years
07:39past i'd be like
07:40not really what they're going to do and i asked brandon bean this the last time he came back
07:44and he basically is like no that's not what he's here for i just think in my mind the way
07:50i view
07:50them now that i would give that a little bit more of a i wouldn't totally discounted here because
07:57where is he playing a corner are you bringing him in to be a starter opposite christian benford
08:03no probably not maybe and if i don't know what that does to what you're saying about your other
08:08corners because we know they've struggled yeah is tradavious white signing to be a backup to
08:13davison igbenosen and max harrison i'm not really sure how that fits he revenge game trey white
08:23sunday he was on the ravens team that lost here in the playoffs the andrews drop that game he was
08:28on the field for baltimore a lot that day i don't think he and i don't think he did he
08:32play last year
08:33in the opener he had hurt in training camp and i don't remember if he did he missed one game
08:37last
08:37year i gotta go back and look at his game logs i knew he played 16 out of 17 he
08:40might not played in
08:40that game so against the ravens okay yeah yeah i probably made the same joke if he did it's
08:47hilarious so sell capaccio on the western hotline pretty good weekend pretty good week seven for
08:52the bill sal new england loses real good right uh kansas city let first time in mahomes career
08:58they didn't even cross the 20 yard line some people call that the red zone but you're supposed to just
09:04know the jargon like that to know what that means um and you know mike did you see the the
09:10stat on
09:10all that i i retweeted this like while you guys were on within the last hour i couldn't believe it
09:14i found this stat it's pretty amazing actually all right the chiefs last night are the only team in
09:21the super bowl era in a game the only time it's ever happened they had no 10 or more 10
09:26plus rush
09:27yards uh rush plays of 10 plus rush yards no plays of 20 or more passing yards no red zone
09:34drives no
09:36touchdowns and miss multiple field goals we are talking about a 5 and 0 patrick mahomes team that
09:40did that for the first time ever since in the super bowl era i bet that field goal nugget is
09:47a big one
09:48in that because lots of teams have had bad days on offense but to miss he missed two buckler last
09:55night
09:55yeah that would separate that game yeah that's always the stuff i love um he's missed a lot by
10:01the way i saw some stats today like he has not been very good since the start of last year
10:05and by the
10:06way that 58 was at 58 56 whatever our yarder he missed i mean that was really short i'm like
10:12yeah
10:12they are he he just doesn't look like the same kicker he was it's incredible ever anymore to see a
10:19kick fall short it's just like not even in the range of outcomes for me like you should you see
10:23the
10:24ball on tv it's if it's through if it looks if it's online it's good but once in a while
10:30short
10:31so that's what happened last night so so you asked me about the week let me just i'll tell you
10:35my my
10:35thought here is okay a very good week for the bills it started on thursday night obviously with
10:39the patriots losing that was a big one now you know you can kind of put your feet up relax
10:43a
10:43little bit you know they can't as bulldog said early in the show they can't tie you this week even
10:47though you're sitting home doing nothing you could make an argument it was good for the stealers
10:50winning because the more that they muddy up the north yeah the better it might be at the end of
10:54the day right i mean you generally want an nfc team to beat an afc team but i don't think
10:59you should be
10:59too upset about that if you're a bills fan the way the end of the uh the north can play
11:02out i'm with
11:03you guys or bulldog on hey you know what don't let the ravens get to five if now you have
11:08the bangles
11:09and ravens i think that was a good result uh when it came to those two teams you know the
11:13broncos winning
11:14that's interesting it sets up a broncos chief showdown for first place in the afc west um next
11:20week i don't get much space right now the browns you know they're a team in the afc obviously that's
11:25playing pretty well but you know we'll see where that goes then you get to last night this is an
11:30interesting team this chiefs team like they are they they have they have to find a wide receiver
11:36they don't have any explosiveness whatsoever in their offense it is basically the only explosiveness
11:42they have is kenneth walker breaking off a run right or somebody just forgetting to cover travis
11:47kelsey which happens still too frequently for my liking after he catches a ball eight yards down the
11:52field right and he just runs runs the rest of the way um i look today patrick mahomes is 28th
12:02out of
12:0229 qualifying qbs in a dot average depth of target their whole offense is dink dunk and give it to
12:11kenneth walker they do nothing down the field and it's wild to me they are you xavier worthy as i
12:17said on twitter last night like he's isaiah mckenzie like i don't get like they that that that you want
12:23to talk about sustainability i don't know that's sustainable to be honest with you
12:28dink dunk doink if one of these field goals it's the post one of these times from butker
12:33yeah i mean they're missing rice they're missing their number one so there's somebody
12:38thornton got hurt he looked somewhat promising before the guy he looked good yeah he's a burner
12:43that was a season ender i think yeah at least rice is on the roster but agree on all all
12:50counts here
12:51that like they're just not showing any sort of explosiveness as an offense right uh defense is
12:57fine but come on i think the bills match up well against them not like there's there's teams that
13:03they don't right since he would be a tough matchup with the way they throw the ball and their receivers
13:07right um jacksonville is probably a tough matchup because they can throw the ball on you they're so
13:12well balanced i think jacksonville is a very balanced team that's a tough matchup but i think
13:16the bills match up well against kansas city the what the bills actually do well on offense
13:21is what kansas city on defense excuse me is what kansas city strength is the bills
13:25don't let running backs beat them this year and that's what kansas city is about on offense
13:30well the bills have beaten them five years in a row we know we own the rivalry i mean clearly
13:35so you're probably right this week it's derrick henry and as great as he's been and even in games
13:43against buffalo not lately without jackson derrick henry sell has never really been a guy that you
13:50think of as needing help to get to get off uh but i think that's maybe where they're at now
13:56they'll
13:57probably get jackson back in this game and you know maybe we get we see the old derrick henry
14:02if you will but it hasn't happened lately he's also had a he had a bad fumble last week when
14:07they
14:07lost to the browns um reminiscent maybe of the one here when the ravens were in control of that game
14:13and ended up sort of coughing it up you know in more ways than one yeah so derrick henry has
14:19been
14:19in the nfl this is his 11th year i asked joe sneaky joe this trivia question this morning i'll ask
14:25you
14:25guys okay derrick henry right now this season in 2026 his average yards per carry is 3.9 how many
14:34times in his previous 10 years has he ever averaged below 4.0 yards of carry i'll i'll say once
14:40i would
14:41guess maybe never never that's right this is the lowest yards per carry he's ever had 3.9 now he
14:47also
14:48has carried the ball in his career over 2,800 times and he's 32 years old so it definitely could
14:53be that
14:53and mike you're right we're not having lamar with him is obviously a factor i would say um but it
14:59also could just be that you know he is slowing down a little bit right and um i'm interested in
15:05that now as far as lamar i i heard you say mike just just to clear the record here i
15:10heard you say
15:11earlier that they said he's going to play this week they did not say that tracy wolfson said they are
15:15confident that she was relaying as a third party that they are confident he will play next week
15:20they came out today and jesse minter said he's in a good spot but we'll see how the week goes
15:26okay
15:26yeah i was referring to something that was said before today but maybe it wasn't quite as
15:32authoritative as like he's back you never know the reason why i correct it mike is because it felt like
15:37that was everything they said all week last week and then he didn't yeah right yeah headed in the
15:41right direction on friday saturday he's ruled out do you he's an all-time great i mean he already is
15:48an
15:48all-time great do you question him in this area where like we had a clip of him from recently
15:56talking
15:56about how if i can't be the player i am i'm not doing it like basically paraphrasing yep and i
16:04don't
16:04know he's probably still better than the next guy if he has a bad ankle so i don't know i
16:10think would
16:10we give him a terrible time if he were here because in a in a spot like yesterday he's not
16:16out there
16:17that's an important game oh i think fans would i think if you there's a clip making the rounds of
16:23ravens fan doing fans doing this there's a there's a clip if you find it it's online of ravens fans
16:27yesterday i think was like basically they're being interviewed and they're like yeah he doesn't play
16:31hurt and like wow like these are ravens fans saying that about lamar jackson it it it appears to me
16:38that lamar is the kind of player and they're all there are many guys like this by the way this
16:42is not
16:42unique to him that he doesn't play unless he's at least very close to 100 because he feels like
16:49there's a certain style of his game that he is not going to be putting at risk to not be
16:54able to do
16:54that and that is again not unique to him i'm not like singling him out for that but it feels
16:59like
17:00that's the kind of player he is now there is a week long here of discourse we're going to have
17:04between the ravens fans and the bills fans because of lamar against josh allen you guys have seen it it
17:08just goes insane online right we know that and you can go back and forth i think they're both great
17:13quarterbacks they're amazing he's got two mvps joss has one we can debate all the things about on the
17:17field we want for a long time the one that you can't debate is the availability but that's not a
17:23lamar jackson thing that's a josh allen thing josh is more available than anybody like he just plays
17:30he plays all the time through everything and that is unique and we are spoiled here i think in
17:36buffalo to see that from this particular guy considering how he plays because you got guys
17:43like lamar maybe or other players who are like i'm not doing it unless i can go out there and
17:48be
17:48myself and josh i think he says i'm gonna be myself no matter what i feel like i'm just gonna
17:54play it
17:54that way it's it's kind of crazy the allen comparison in this case isn't to jackson it's to
17:59derrick henry that's right there never misses all the time yeah it takes takes a pounding delivers a
18:06punishment and still just you know gets up so that's that all right who are we looking at next
18:11week for that touchdown do we know yet are we starting down this process i mean what is the uh
18:16who's jay who who do the who do the seahawks have they have chicago monday night oh do i wait
18:22till
18:22monday night for uh to get in this and i think i could jsn against the bears the bears you
18:29could
18:29you put some points on the bears oh yeah oh yeah right that's a high scoring game probably who have
18:33you used i think jsn could be the guy do you know from memory who you've used used cook yes
18:38i have
18:38it right here actually i don't even have to go to memory i have it right here in front of
18:40me ready
18:41go bijon christian mccaffrey josh allen derrick henry jameer gibbs james cook and kyron williams
18:50bijon christian mccaffrey josh allen derrick henry james cook kyron williams and who did i miss
18:55jameer gibbs gibbs well i mean you've gone with the chalk here it's gotten you through week seven i mean
19:02no reason not to do that i mean the thing that i do is i actually look at what are
19:06the best bets
19:07anytime touchdown yep bets online right like fan duel or bet mgm or wherever and i'm like okay well
19:14these are the best odds this week but like this week was like garrett wilson i'm like i'm not
19:18taking garrett wilson i can't do that i can't never trust a jets offense garrett wilson was like
19:22minus money to score a touchdown he was no he's a plus low money though okay he was plus low
19:28money this
19:29week which by the way that is an insane stat about them with the two minutes i mean i think
19:33that is incredible incredible you know who you could i hope it doesn't get this bad but who's
19:39actually been good and i did not have my money on this ollie gordon miami like he's been the the
19:49raiders backup has been better than the starter washington versus genti and efficiency wise gordon
19:56has been better than hann was although hann went out pretty early hann what and they just paid hann
20:02yes yes four years 64 million this feels right to be back in a world where i can comfortably talk
20:10about running backs and they're pretty much easy replaceability this feels right we don't want to
20:14see cook go down and find out the answer to that question but um you know those are elite guys
20:20and
20:21i don't know if this is really completely fair on genti he's just never he can never get out
20:27one reason or another he just seems to never be able to get out and the other guy does
20:32so anyway well um i will crunch some numbers sal and you know feel free to ignore any advice for
20:38me
20:38but i'm excited don't go play golfing before you do it so i know i'm getting a guy that's playing
20:42that's all i'm you know oh wow that hurts but hey you know what i've done it last week last
20:49week i
20:49started lamar last week because i i was so thinking about one of my leagues that i totally forgot the
20:54other league that i had lamar it was actually uh our media league we're in i think it is um
20:59and i was
20:59playing dave naylor from tsn up in canada i wound up winning but i'm like i can't believe i didn't
21:05start
21:05i started lamar jackson i left tyler chuck on the bench it was like we need he blew up a
21:09couple weeks ago so
21:10it happens to the best of us and uh you have a lot of leagues you're in so it doesn't
21:14surprise me
21:15that happens it happens i'm i'm uh i'm not over it uh javante williams one more name for this
21:21arizona at dallas you got it in week eight thank you sal you got it there's our sal goodbye
