00:03victory tuesday for bill's mafia win over the vikings 23 to 6 and they move to 7 and 1 we're
00:11talking about it with you at 803 05 50 and on tuesdays we chat with bill's guard austin corvette
00:16who joins us in the western hotline austin good morning jeremy and joe uh congratulations on the
00:20victory and uh good morning good morning fellas how are we doing we're good austin we talked last
00:26week with conor mcgovern coming into this game about like a flores week and all the blitzing
00:32and all the things they do and and sending five and you're out there last night for a lot of
00:37that
00:37action what is it like for you is it head spinning is it uh exhilarating because of the challenge that
00:45they present what's it like being out there against a brian flores defense uh yeah i think it was uh
00:51it was a benefit for us for sure to have an extra you know a bonus day playing on monday
00:56night
00:56so that helped be able to take some time and slow it down in the meeting room and to be
01:02able to see
01:03everything and then once you do get out there it's okay here you know we're confirming some things this
01:09is what we thought and then it's okay this is new how do we adjust and it was just a
01:14full-blown
01:15chest mass last night how how long by the way did you feel like you knew that you could be
01:21in the lineup
01:24um i mean i took all the reps all week in practice and alec was trying to you know figure
01:29it out and um he was trying to practice there on on saturday and um we're still hurting pretty good
01:35and so um you know there's a chance just kind of figuring it out but um all week especially to
01:41that
01:41defense um you know i was going into it like i was i was starting monday with the extra uh
01:48practice
01:49day i guess in addition to this and then you getting the reps how how did you feel like it
01:53worked with you and grable both starting i mean grable started i guess before this season but he
01:58had even said it was his first time at left tackle right now it was great and um the thing
02:04with graves
02:04is like you know he and i was when we're running scout team too we get so many looks together
02:08and
02:08we were able to communicate there and um we we've gotten those reps together there so
02:14it was a smooth transition for both of us to step in there and to be able to do it
02:19on a week where
02:19it is such a communicative uh week and uh especially i mean that atmosphere last night was awesome
02:26it was loud it was rocking and um as you guys probably tell right now a little bit hoarse from
02:33from all the yelling trying to figure it out last night yeah i bet how how you mentioned the adjustments
02:39how much easier did it get and it's not the right word but it looked like there was a lot
02:44of pressure
02:45early on in the game and in the second half the whatever adjustments you guys made and also that
02:50could be i guess wearing down their defense a lot of rush attempts even when some of them were getting
02:54stuffed um how how much better do you feel like it felt in the second half stopping their blitzing
03:01than it did in the first half yeah we we knew going into that game that it was going to
03:07be dirty
03:07that runs are going to be tough um we didn't change any runs we didn't change um you know any
03:17schemes
03:18in halftime it was we're going to keep doing what we're doing we're going to stick with it and we're
03:22just going to keep grinding it and i think you know the first play the second half there was
03:27you know the epitome of it where here's this one that's ah man we got stuff for two yards and
03:32then
03:32next thing you know we just keep leaning on and pushing on them on that play and
03:36get a first down out of it to start that half so that was what we expected that's what we
03:42were
03:42ready for and um just huge credit to joe to be able to stick in a call to the run
03:48and
03:48not getting out of it and having to pass protect all the nonsense and and chaos that that defense
03:55brings does it make your job easier to play it like that oh for sure i think it's uh when
04:02you have
04:02a coach that is going to stick to it and you understand and that it's going to be dirty and
04:08you also got a running back and and jimmy that understands that it's okay to get two three yards
04:14at a time early because we're going to keep pushing that pile we're going to keep falling forward
04:19toward that two or three becomes you know six seven eight boom you can pop one for 15 and that's
04:25exactly what that game was and what we talked about all week and so it's it's okay to get you
04:32know stuff for two yards and push the pile and they're they're gonna break eventually did you feel
04:37like i mean those last two 80 yard drives in the second half did did you feel like it all
04:43came
04:44together there like because i think cook was at one point under two yards a carry and then there
04:48were a lot of big runs on those last two drives yeah absolutely and it's just the exact
04:53epitome of what we talked about all week and understanding that it will happen and just
04:58staying true to the run staying you know true to the schemes and and just getting in the ground
05:05they're gonna move once they move okay let's take them where they want to go and let jimmy find find
05:10his way austin corbett bills guard joining us on the western hotline austin when it comes to like
05:15your career and the the course of it how how i guess how is it staying ready being ready knowing
05:23when a play happens like alec anderson went out with an injury that you are just you know a couple
05:27plays away from on this team jumping in and playing all the snaps and being on the road in the
05:33in those
05:33spots is there any sort of mental prep that's different all right no you you approach every
05:38week like you're the starter right you got to be ready because you want one play away so
05:44no it's been nothing different for me um i mean the only thing that's different is
05:51i haven't played a game in a couple months here here's the 80 plays and you know 42 minutes time
05:56of possession so um so just indy this morning what's that feeling just dandy this morning
06:03is real good right now i was gonna say but it no i've played over 100 games like it's it's
06:10football
06:10yeah you know what you're doing so i just go out there and just enjoy it is it is at
06:15least a good
06:16hurt is a good ache yeah winning solves everything there's no question about that not to say that you
06:21guys are not already trying to run down a tackle after an interception but josh has got the longest
06:28streak going of not throwing a pick six in the league's history and i i don't know if that's
06:33even known on your team or if there's that extra little bit of desperation when byron murphy hits
06:39the open field at least again not that grable or you or anybody's not going to try to run him
06:44down
06:45but that was a pretty big diving tackle there right and it's um yeah not and not really talked about
06:52it all i'm no one's who's on my radar radar that hasn't popped up at all but um i guess
06:59now that
07:00i know you just keep it rolling yeah austin corbett on the western hotline after the bills win in
07:06minnesota austin thanks for the time and uh congratulations on the win absolutely i appreciate
07:11you boys thanks much bill's wins awesome go to seven and one mentioned that the athletic playoff
07:16machine has them at 40 to win the one seed okay i 40 and then the next closest was what
07:2417 yeah
07:25jacksonville 17 nice yeah big advantage i i have to confess to something i did not see the national
07:31anthem did they air it uh i was not at the game the tv okay i got to the game
07:38right kickoff same yeah
07:39right okay okay that the the national anthem was a scene that's what i'm i'm i'm reading about that
07:48fans have ripped into this electric guitar rendition branding it as one of the worst ever it was all
07:54time a childhood friend of adrian peterson performed it solo on electric guitar yeah and he was sliding
08:02around and doing the classic like you don't know what the note is on the slide guitar so you just
08:06slide
08:07until you find it and it was it was tough i was watching with a group of musicians we had
08:14uh
08:14this is it this is fine fine
08:22it's fine
08:27i feel like we should be standing with our hats off i know right
08:34still it's still fine this sounds okay it it's worse it it there's a part of there's somewhere
08:40in there where he gets lost and goes for quite a journey and it's got to be rocket's red glare
08:46it's got to be rocket's red glare that might be right right that's where everybody goes crazy
08:58still okay
09:03no this is fine i think you know why this is fine this is okay yeah i i i will
09:09tell you i was watching
09:10with a group like john gale and and and our buddy leroy tout like all these musicians were guitar players
09:16watching with the guitar players and they were all how howling laughing in the living room like
09:20could not get over how crazy it was it doesn't sound as bad here for some reason it's totally fine
09:26so here's the thing about this you know why it's good because they just he got through it fast
09:32just get through the anthem people that's kind of right i guess that's my answer is how long is
09:36your anthem gonna take if it's over two minutes and 20 seconds like get moving here he gets he
09:40he takes liberties at the very end okay which uh yeah it can be tough fair but it was i
09:47know i know
09:47that i was with a group of people that do that for a living and all right they were all
09:52you guitarist
09:53snobs snobs no they're all good people i know they're good people all right well the story i saw
09:59here from the daily mail and this is is this not the state of every story that's written uh the
10:04daily
10:05mail about how the worst anthem ever and i just got to read you this line in this story because
10:10it's
10:10hilarious talking to x one fan wrote that was a terrible national anthem for the bills game oh
10:16talking to x this fan had an exclusive interview with twitter what a bleep national anthem another
10:23disgruntled user wrote online oh someone online is upset this makes the news it's pretty much our
10:31entire job the worst one is still by far the one at the home run derby from a couple years
10:37ago
10:37i don't remember her name but it was it was that's the worst one i know like the the other
10:44famous ones are what fergie was bad yeah uh carl lewis that's a bad one that's before my time but
10:51i've
10:51seen that clip a thousand times but there was a i gotta find it there's a home run derby one
10:55that is egregious brian burke espn his take on last night's game tonight's game a classic example the
11:04fact that the best offense in the league is typically better than the best defense the
11:07variance is simply wider for offenses that is a point to try to build a better offense even if
11:12you've got a great offense um i was gonna say one more thing how about uh citing on the sidelines
11:17former bills receiver odell beckham jr yeah with minnesota he got a snap i'm not sure he played more
11:25than the one snap he got a snap we'll get a break in that'll be a very odd picture to
11:32see in 20 years
11:33when someone's like hey did you know beckham played for the vikings yeah just totally forgot about it
11:37because it basically didn't happen we'll call our review of the anthem there the univera checkup as
