-- that will be joining us here just a little while on sports talk Saturday at the -- your Sports Radio five that the Buffalo Bills have a very big game tomorrow against the Philadelphia Eagles. And I think there's some ways the bills can attack the Eagles offensively. The Eagles are to be without several players on defense. And one of those guys is Trent Cole trickle has three sat sacks this year. They're leading their league. And legally ethnic and sex and He is a big part of that but also on the other side of the ball and the other side of the ball is of course. Michael Vick in stopping him and DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Macklin of that crew. Is not going to be easy for the Buffalo Bills. And one of the guys is going to be. Actually tasked with stopping Michael Vick. In the other Philadelphia Eagles is a guy getting the for his first start tomorrow the National Football League taking over for injured Chris Kelsay. And that is to any batten who joins us right now -- sports talk Saturday number 57 linebacker for the Buffalo Bills Danny thanks for joining us -- -- -- -- -- sports -- Saturday. And it. Hey Danny I wanna do is get your thoughts very quickly before we get into the -- tomorrow about the passing of Al Davis as somebody who is in.

At the same -- about the condition but also it should. You know excited about it they're anxious so. Did you are you've been really really solid on special teams all year will will starting tomorrow take away any of your special teams duties. Oh you know I'm not sure I don't think it will you know they did that there's definitely. If we -- seventy plays on defense all. You know obviously they'll make some adjustments but. Not the right now everything you know all forgo all the special teams and you don't know who they won't take away at all. Operate part of again part of that have been planned. On every child about the football field and are you declaration calling card opener between the get a chance that you -- that we.

Did you came out of us South Dakota State only one of fourteen players in the FL ever drafted out of that school the first. By the Buffalo Bills that was in 2009 and then -- in 2010 I should say what you were placed on injured reserve Lester talked about last year. Going through that process of being -- injuries are not being able to play in the NFL and in your road back to get on the roster this year. Bill was terrible I'm not -- it is.

I gotta come back to the I have what your experience sort through outcome of the goal. So far this year you guys really haven't had this -- numbers on defense a lot people had hoped or expected especially with Shawne Merriman coming over. Did is that just a function really of the -- concentrating more on the run and not pitting your ears back at. Or is there something going on that you'd really need changeup to maybe get a little bit more pressure from the linebackers. All the you know approach won't work it will you can never have too many sacks of you know -- -- -- a lot of the quarterback we've been playing it doesn't -- Tom Brady G. About seagate cured revolved blunt they're phenomenal but you know -- you you can run debt free Tom Brady and he's so good He gets a ball out -- like clockwork every targets. -- -- -- -- nobody can get sacked Tom Brady but do you deathly very good it's not hold on the ball endo contributed you know which Canseco. -- It -- -- know -- suddenly depleted to work a bit of crew from but. -- we're definitely can charge.
