1 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live, presented by Calida Health. All right, 2 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: it's a hump day edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, 3 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: Steve Taster with you on a Wednesday, Glad to have 4 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: you with us as the Bills return to the practice 5 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: field and it was a walk through only again this Wednesday. 6 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: Coach McDermott basically outlined that a little bit of the 7 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: quirkiness of their schedule here is the reason for that. 8 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: They come back from London, timesharee whatever, give the players 9 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: an extra day to kind of heal up. And now 10 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: this week you're giving him an extra day to heal 11 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: up because they're playing again four days from Sunday's game 12 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: on a Thursday night against the Bucks here at home 13 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: next week. So that is why the extra day of 14 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: rest per se was built in to the practice regiment 15 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: last week and this week. And coach McDermott did give 16 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: a rundown last hour or actually earlier than that around 17 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock updated the media on player status. Good news, 18 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid is out of the concussion protocol, so he 19 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: has all systems go for this week. That is welcome news. 20 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: His fellow tight end Dawson Knox, however, still dealing with 21 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: the wrist injury. Had it been a regular practice, I 22 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: would assume he would be listed as a limited participant, 23 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: but we'll wait until the Wednesday injury report comes out 24 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: to know for sure. Josh Allen took part in today's 25 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: walkthrough but still has shoulder soreness. When asked specifically about 26 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: his shoulder ailment, he said, We're fine. We'll be ready 27 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: to go, like as if we had any doubt about 28 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: his status for Sunday's game. Damian Harris in the concussion 29 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: protocol after his neck injury last week, he would be 30 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: a non participant at today's walkthrough, as well as tight 31 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: end Quinton Morris with the ankle injury that he hobbled 32 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: through the rest of the game with last week. And 33 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: Ed Oliver is a new addition to the injury report 34 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: with a tow injury. Hopefully it's nothing that will keep 35 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: him out of Sunday's game, but we'll have to wait 36 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: and see how the week moves along for Buffalo's defensive tackle. 37 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: And then there are other players who are dealing with 38 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: things but are still able to practice, albeit on a 39 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: limited basis. That would be Cam Lewis, who in last 40 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: week's game sustained a shoulder injury. Dane Jackson still working 41 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: his way back from a foot injury, Greg Russo with 42 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: some sore foot with a sore foot as well after 43 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: playing in last week's game. Remember he missed the week 44 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: five game in London due to a foot injury, so 45 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: he's kind of managing that and the aforementioned Dawson Knox. 46 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: So we'll see when the Wednesday injury report comes out 47 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: later this afternoon to see, you know, the breath of it, 48 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: I guess you could say, and the practice updates as 49 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: always brought to you by leecom your Lake Erie College 50 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: of Osteopathic Medicine. Hard to kind of gauge it at 51 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: this point, it is encouraging to know that Josh is 52 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: resolutely confident he's playing on Sunday. Yeah, you know, division game, 53 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: important game. 54 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: You can kind of you kind of get the feeling 55 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: that you can kind of tell that you know, it 56 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: wasn't a really serious shoulder injury. But and particularly since 57 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: they got the test back and it didn't show anything 58 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: as we were told yesterday, but to have him sit 59 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: there and go nam all right, yeah, yeah, that's kind 60 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: of the final stamp on the whole thing. 61 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: Kind of dismissed it out of hand. So, and I don't. 62 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: Think i'll say this too. This the schedule this week, 63 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: we're going to see a lot of it because you know, 64 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: they've been on it's been a six week grind here. 65 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: They've got six more weeks of you know, the same 66 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: schedule with a bunch of primetime games before they have 67 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: a bye week. So they they're going to start really 68 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: leveling off the physical exertion during the weeks in. 69 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: The last one o'clock game, I think until they play 70 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: the Patriots again in week. 71 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: Eighteen, seventeen, Week seventeen, game sixteen week or week seventeen, 72 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: and then oh, that's right, Dolphins Miami to be determined. 73 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: I mean that could like the Dolphin game could be 74 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: at one o'clock. Could be I'm thinking it's not banking. 75 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: Well, it's got to mean something, right. It may not 76 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 1: mean anything to either team by that time. Both teams 77 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: may have clinched already. 78 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: Right, could be. Yeah, maybe it'll be for the one 79 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: seed or the division, for the division that like the 80 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: old days. 81 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: Mmmm, So that could get juicy in a hurry. 82 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, So they haven't even decided what that Miami game 83 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: is gonna be. It could be a one o'clock game. 84 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: If it's meaningless, I doubt that it will be. Plus 85 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: the fact that you got two and Josh going at 86 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: it again in the last game, and the it's gonna 87 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: people are gonna want to see it, whether it means 88 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 2: anything or not, you know what I mean. The only 89 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: problem could be that Josh may be sitting over there 90 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: with a baseball cap on and Tua might be doing 91 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: the same thing. It might they both might be sunflower seeds. 92 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: Sure. 93 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 2: Week eighteen. 94 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: I do like the fact that there are ten days, 95 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: almost eleven days between ten days between the Bucks game 96 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: and the Bengals game. So if you do have any 97 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: game nicked up anybody, not only do you have time 98 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: to heal up, the coaches have time to prep for 99 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, that big AFC game against Cincinnati coming off 100 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: the right, plus against Tampa. 101 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: Plus that's the Thursday night game against Tampa Bay that's 102 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: going to be here in Orchard Park, which is great 103 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: because you don't even to travel. Well that helps, Yeah, 104 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: I mean, that's. 105 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: A short week coming back from New England, short flight, 106 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: you know, not too bad, not too bad, all things considered, right. 107 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: Uh we I know you were watching some of the 108 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: All twenty two tape from last week's game. I had 109 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: a chance to do that last night as well. What'd 110 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: you think anything you pulled out of that that you 111 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: didn't on watching it live? 112 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: No, Well, I when you watch it, you think there's 113 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 2: not too much wrong with what's going on. Yeah, I 114 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: could have thrown to this guy instead of that guy 115 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: that you know. You can always there's always imperfection, but 116 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 2: it's a player issue. It's not a coaching issue most 117 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: of the time. And as like you would imagine, even 118 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: if your line's playing really well, once in a while, 119 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: you need to play just a little better on one play, right, 120 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: Same thing with your receivers. I'd like I'd like to 121 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: see more guys and open than I do, but there's 122 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: always somebody there usually. Now there's once or twice where 123 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: the Giants got them where they they swung out and 124 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: I can't remember the guy's name. Forty one The linebacker 125 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: McFadden comes loose on a couple of times when when 126 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: Wink Martindale crossed him up and Josh didn't get the 127 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: protection right. That kind of stuff happens happens every game 128 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: because you know, those guys get paid to good. Yeah. So, 129 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: but all in all, it's a little bit of what 130 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: we've been talking about. Yeah, they're all right, they just need, 131 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: you know, button it up a hair my, it's my thought, 132 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: all right, without getting any you can go to every 133 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: play and look at it. But yeah, in large measure 134 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: to me, it's like you got to button it up 135 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: a little bit and go to the open guy. 136 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm glad you talked about the offense because I was 137 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: kind of focused on the defense. I was watching it live. 138 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: I was encouraged by how easily I was able to 139 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: notice Dorian Williams around the football. And then I watched 140 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: the All twenty two and while he was not perfect, 141 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: he was he was flying around. 142 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 4: Man. 143 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: That guy he had some energy, brings it a three 144 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: single snack. 145 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: He had some real energy. I mean that's what I saw. 146 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 5: Man. 147 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: That guy was like. 148 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: But he's around the ball almost all the time. And 149 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: having him next to Bernard from an athletic close on 150 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: the ball rally to the ball standpoint, I think they're 151 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: gonna be okay there. He's gonna make mistakes. He's a rookie, 152 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: he's inexperienced. He's not Milano, but from an athletic standpoint, 153 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: he's only about a half a step down from from Matt, 154 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: So I think you're getting a lot more there. Then 155 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: maybe people anticipate, and I think he's only gonna get 156 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: better with more snaps. And that's what every coach is saying. 157 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: Bobby Babbage said he's only gonna get better with more snaps. 158 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: Coach McDermott, when I asked him about Dorian today, said 159 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: he's only going to get better with more snaps. And 160 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: I believe it because even from last week to this week. Now, 161 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: granted he got dropped out of the sky into the 162 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: game last week right as opposed to this week playing 163 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: against the Giants, he's getting the first team reps the 164 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: whole week to properly prepare, so you would expect him 165 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: to be better. But he is all oving too, and 166 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: he loves ball like and I'll say this. 167 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: We all had this, this, you and I both brown. 168 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: He had some reservations about having the linebackers out there Milana. 169 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: When he stepped onto the field, he always was a 170 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 2: little bit smaller, but that's because he was playing next 171 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: to Tremaine Edmonds, who was you know. 172 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: This makes everybody gargantuan guy. 173 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 2: Now you've got Bernard and Williams out there, and they're 174 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: both a little under they're both under two forty right so, 175 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: and but they're fast. And one of the things you forget, 176 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 2: these guys been playing a linebacker their whole lives, and 177 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: they're playing it. They've been playing against big dudes on 178 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: offensive lines for a long time. One thing I'm noticing 179 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: about Williams and Bernard, they already know how to get 180 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: off blocks. They have compensated for their lack of girth 181 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: by not getting themselves in a position where it's important. 182 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: They're running past blockers, they're slipping by guys, they get 183 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: off blocks occasionally. They have come to understand how they 184 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: have to play as finger quote, you know, these undersized 185 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 2: guys playing in there among the giants, and they're doing 186 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: a really nice job of it. And they've been trained 187 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: to do that because it, you know, by necessity. So 188 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: the reservations you and I had about them maybe being 189 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: a little ersized, I don't think they're coming. I mean 190 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: maybe in some short yardage goal line stuff. Okay, there's 191 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: no place to hide, and you've got to stand up 192 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: against it. Maybe they'll get exposed there once in a while, 193 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,239 Speaker 2: but that's really on minute situations. 194 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: Hard brings momentum though, like, yeah, he comes in full speed. 195 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: That has been the pleasant surprise for me. For those 196 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: guys they can play in there inside and hang in 197 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: there because it's a coverage and run and cover league. 198 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that the linebacker position was one 199 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: of the bigger question marks coming into the season, and 200 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: if you told somebody at the beginning of the year 201 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: that Matt Mulana would be gone by week five, people 202 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: would be hitting a panic button about what linebacker would 203 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: look like. But here we are going into week seven. 204 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 6: I feel pretty good about it. 205 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do now all that being said, And Dan Orlovsky, 206 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: when we had him on yesterday making his weekly appearance 207 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, he referenced this. So I 208 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: made a point to keep an eye on it. Christian 209 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: Benford and Kyrie Elam got moved around and manipulated by 210 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: the offensive staff at the Giants because they pulled a 211 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: lot of their guys in in tight formation looks and 212 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: put those guys in the slot. And those guys had 213 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: had some problems with that, you know, they're used to 214 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: lining up outside. They moved them inside with some tight 215 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: formation alignments given their receivers two way goes, and it 216 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: made life difficult on Elam and Benford for much of 217 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: the game. And if I can see that, you know, 218 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien is seeing that, and I'm wondering what countermeasures 219 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo's defensive staff is planning to utilize, knowing they are 220 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,599 Speaker 1: inevitably gonna cease at least some of that, because the 221 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: biggest problem in New England right now is they don't 222 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: have anybody that can separate. So if they can use 223 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: an alignment to help give their receiver separation, after watching 224 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: Elam and Benford have trouble with it this past week, 225 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: they're gonna use it, right. 226 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, yeah, there's it's no and it won't be 227 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 2: just that either. I mean, there's gonna be a bunch 228 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: of stuff they use, and I. 229 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: Think they'd be foolish not to try it. 230 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: That's right, And I think the Bills, you know, will 231 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: do the exact same thing to their offense. Listen, they 232 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: got nobody to separate. We've got these guys and you know, 233 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: Kyri Elam, Benford, We'll see if they can separate against 234 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: those guys. I'll tell you what, man, right, right, just 235 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 2: play more man and say, listen, we got we're gonna 236 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: throw an extra guy at you. Your offensive line stinks. 237 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 2: Max's gonna play this game throwing the football up at 238 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: the ceiling because that's where he's gonna be looking. Yeah, 239 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: you know he's gonna be on it. 240 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: You don't have to worry as much about him taking 241 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: off and running, so you're more comfortable playing man. Everybody's 242 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: turning their back to the quarterback that kind of thing, 243 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: so you're not as concerned. You know, you're not playing Lamar, 244 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: that's right. So I think that's a tactic you can 245 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: use from a Bill's defensive standpoint, Maybe a little more 246 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: man coverage, knowing that this receiving corps for the Patriots, 247 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: they're not great separators. Maybe Kendrick Bourne's your most biggest thing. 248 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: Kendrick Bourne had a nice game against him. Yeah, he's 249 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: played well against the Bills, and he's got heh had 250 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 2: some moments. So, but I think you can always prioritize 251 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: who you're most afraid of over there. If it's Kendrick Bourne, 252 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: you got over the top safety help or you or 253 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: you truly double team the guy and go inside out 254 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: and take the guy out. But you can bet the 255 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: Patriots are going to make sure Steph Diggs doesn't catch. 256 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: That was miney football. 257 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: So that was my next question because in the past 258 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: few meetings it hasn't mattered what the Patriots have tried 259 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: defensively to neutralize Diggs. He has still quote unquote gotten 260 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: his I would think the incentive is even greater now 261 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: to neutralize that, knowing that Diggs is largely responsible for 262 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: about forty percent of the passing game production. So if 263 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: you take that away now, you're forcing the Bills to 264 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: utilize other weapons to make Hay maybe now more than ever. 265 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: You know, and I know there are Bills fans out 266 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: there that are concerned that it is so lopsided in 267 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: favor of Diggs production. So I am interested to see 268 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: who can step up and answer the bell if in fact, 269 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots are successful defensively in taking Digs away. 270 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: Well, if you look back at last year, Digs had 271 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: seven for ninety two in their first meeting, Yeah, and 272 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: then this last then the one after that that he 273 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: had seven for one hundred and four, So it wasn't bad. 274 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: He had a TV and stuff in that final game 275 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: of the season where the Bills. 276 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: Saying he hasn't been impacted right too much. So I wonder, Yeah, 277 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: maybe he's Patriot proof. I don't know. 278 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he had seven for ninety two with it. 279 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: He had a touchdown on both meetings last. 280 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: Year, and he had the three touchdown game. 281 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: And that's a little surprising because we've all seen it 282 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: over the years. Man, when they want to take somebody away, 283 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: they take him away. That's and we and perhaps you 284 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: go back two years where when Isaiah mackenzie had the 285 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: huge game against the Patriots, Remember when he was eleven 286 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: for one, twenty five rights and yeah, so that that 287 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: was in I believe twenty one, and it was now ironically, 288 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: that's when the Patriots decided to play man coverage the entire. 289 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: Game and never changed. That's right, that's right, never adjusted, 290 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: and Mackenzie ate them alive. 291 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, mackenzie had and I'll I'll tell you right now, 292 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: McKenzie had. 293 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: I want to say it was. 294 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: A touchdown and that game I get And that game 295 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: dig still had seven for eighty five. 296 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 297 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: Well, maybe they just maybe Josh is the problem, not 298 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: those guys. Maybe that the Bills have won six out 299 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 2: of the last seven. The one they lost was the 300 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 2: win game here in the forty mile an hour wind. Yeah, 301 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: it was a fourteen to ten game, right, and you know, 302 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: and the Bills are still like looking at themselves in 303 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: the mirror going what are you doing? You know, after 304 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: that game. So it's one of the this this game 305 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: really is really bothers me. I've seen it. I don't know, 306 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: maybe scar tissue from the drought because and the way 307 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 2: they've played the last couple of weeks. Offensively, you get 308 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: out on this team, you got a chance. You gotta 309 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 2: score points on them because they're struggling. But that doesn't mean. 310 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: One area where they don't struggle is in the red zone. 311 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: Both on offense and on defense. The problem is they 312 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: can't get down there. They've got the second fewest red 313 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: zone possessions in the league ten, but they've scored seven 314 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: touchdowns on them. So when they get down there, they 315 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: do score. The problem is they can't get down there. Defensively, 316 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: the hallmark of Belichick defenses is all right, we'll get 317 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: your yards getting you're in the red zone now, now 318 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: we're gonna stop you. 319 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, they Christmas, You're not gonna score on right, all right? Yeah, 320 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 2: that's yeah, And I just smell problems. I don't know, 321 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: because I've seen it too many times. They're too well coached. 322 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 2: Now may they may not have any players, and that's 323 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: kind of been the word coming out of that. The 324 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: just don't have anybody to play. Their rosters depleted, they 325 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: don't have anybody who's a real high level talent, and 326 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: that's been you know, they've still got a coaching staff 327 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 2: over there with a pretty good pedigree. I don't know 328 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: if you've heard right, So they didn't forget how to coach, 329 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: but they need they need some talent. 330 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: They do, they are devoid of it, even even more 331 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: so because of injuries. We want to pivot now though 332 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: to the post practice podium. With this earlier walkthrough practice, 333 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: players are addressing the media sooner than normal, and Josh 334 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: Allen was just addressing the media. Let's see what he 335 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: had to say about his shoulder injury and the offense 336 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: going forward, lotibility or. 337 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 6: Any of that. 338 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 7: No, no, no, no concernment. We'll be ready to go. 339 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 8: I chose scoping a little bit of. 340 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 9: Put young stubber guns up before. 341 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think everybody looks to the quarterback. 342 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 10: Embody language plays a big part in that nonverbal communication, 343 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 10: just just so I know that the guys are looking 344 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 10: at me and looking at how I'm reacting. So I'm 345 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 10: sure there's been times throughout the season where I haven't 346 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 10: been the best body language guy. But got to make 347 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 10: sure that I'm doing my part there and maintaining the 348 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 10: same level of excitement and energy that I always have 349 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 10: playing this game. So you know, we're we're working on that. 350 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 10: But had a good, good day to day, you know, 351 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 10: looking to clean up some things on offense and getting 352 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 10: ready to play a really good team this sundaying. 353 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 3: A little just to see how you've got I mean 354 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 3: even Sewan talks about it. We've seen what this office 355 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 3: can do. And then all of a sudden, you have 356 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 3: two games like that. Is a little wildering as to 357 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 3: what's what's gone on in the past two weeks. 358 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 7: I wouldn't say bewildering. 359 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 10: You know, obviously, every time we touched the ball, we 360 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 10: want to score, and that hasn't happened the last couple 361 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 10: of weeks. And you know, we know as an offense 362 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 10: we got to be better. Comes down to the guys 363 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 10: on the field. And myself included on executing the plays 364 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 10: that coach Dorsey calls. So you know, we're gonna have 365 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 10: a detailed week, you know, and look forward to getting 366 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 10: back on the field and trying to go out there 367 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 10: and put together our best performance yet. And again it's 368 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 10: no easy task going against the Patriots and Bill Belichick, 369 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 10: so we have to understand that, you know, we're not 370 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 10: going to score every time we touch the ball, but 371 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 10: you know, going out there and just trying to execute 372 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 10: every play and taking it one play at a time. 373 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 3: You know what some of the focus is being turned 374 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 3: on Ken is he how much trust faith do you 375 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 3: still have in him? And can he get to the 376 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 3: answers quicker when his play calling. 377 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 7: I trust him implicitly. 378 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 10: And again, if you look at statistics over the last 379 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 10: couple of years of how much we've scored and how 380 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 10: efficient we've been as an offense and how many drives 381 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 10: ending points, we're at the top or near the top 382 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 10: and almost every statistical category. So just because we hit 383 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 10: a ll right now doesn't mean it's the end of 384 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 10: the world. You know, we're working through some things, you know, 385 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 10: and this adversity is going to help us moving forward, 386 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 10: get to our answers quicker, and I think that's something 387 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 10: that you know is necessary and an offense needs to 388 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 10: go through it at times to to figure things out 389 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 10: when things are going to get tough here later in 390 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 10: the season. So I'm glad we're going through things now 391 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 10: and figuring out, you know, what works and what doesn't, 392 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 10: and you know, like you said, gett into our answers faster, 393 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 10: and that's that's something we're going to look forward to doing. 394 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 9: My question, I guess is along those lines about getting 395 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 9: to answers. I mean, it seems like maybe dealing with 396 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 9: some of the pressures the last couple of games of 397 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 9: teams are bringing against you, maybe getting to the run 398 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 9: a little earlier in the game. I'm not going to 399 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 9: ask you to get into the super high end specifics 400 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 9: of a game plan, but do you have an idea 401 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 9: of maybe specifically what you need to do to kind 402 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 9: of get out of this, what within your own execution 403 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 9: as an offense needs to happen. 404 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 6: Yeah. 405 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 10: Yeah, making sure I'm sending the protections the right way 406 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 10: and throwing to the open guy, and then when we're running, 407 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 10: making sure it's a good look that we can run in. 408 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 10: You know, run into or if it's a pressure, running 409 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 10: away from it, whatever whatever is asked for me to 410 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 10: to execute that certain play. 411 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 7: And you know, there's a lot. 412 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 10: Of all pro offensive coordinators out there watching the games 413 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 10: right a lot of a lot of quarterbacks in the 414 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 10: stands that think that they know what they're doing too. 415 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 10: So you know, we're we're we're looking forward to competing 416 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 10: and executing with the guys that we have here and. 417 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 7: Making sure we're very. 418 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 10: Detailed in what our game plan is and just trying 419 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 10: to go out and execuse head play. 420 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 6: Just reference that they're dressed there. 421 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 11: There's a lot of outside criticism right now, Ken, is 422 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 11: some of that, in your mind misguided? 423 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 6: It is all of it misguided. All of it is. 424 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 10: You know, nobody knows what's going on in between walls here. 425 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 10: Nobody knows the reads that we have in the quarterback room, 426 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 10: nobody knows the blocking schemes that we're putting in the 427 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 10: offensive line room. So again, it comes down to us 428 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 10: executing and making sure that you know I'm on I'm 429 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 10: on task and making sure that I'm trying to guide 430 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 10: this offense in the right way and making sure I'm 431 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 10: making good decisions. And it starts with me. So that's 432 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 10: that's number one. 433 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 3: Your shoulder with that comment, because you've come to a 434 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: couple of guys defense lately, including Spencer Browns out here 435 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 3: with louring your shoulders with that comment the way you 436 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 3: did against the. 437 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 7: Oh, I'm just I was just looking at for my guy. 438 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 7: He's looked out for me a lot. 439 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 8: So you're gonna have a detailed weak What does that 440 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 8: mean for you? 441 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 10: Just make us making sure that we're locking in on 442 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 10: the little things that maybe we've gotten away from, you know, 443 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 10: with within within ourselves, within our little our system that 444 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 10: we've got going on here. And you know, coach McDermott 445 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 10: preaches playoff caliber and making sure that we're trying to 446 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 10: stay on top of everything and control what we can control. 447 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 10: And again that starts with me, and you know, whether 448 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 10: it's in walkthrough or in meetings, making sure I'm locked 449 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 10: in and setting that example for everybody. 450 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 12: One of the criticisms that that tends to change every 451 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 12: single week is if Digs get started at fifteen times, 452 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 12: it's you should be finding everyone else. 453 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 11: And if he gets the ball. 454 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: Five times, it's why is it Diggs getting. 455 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: The ball more? 456 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 8: How do you walk that fine line. 457 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 10: Well, well, we're gonna try to throw it to the 458 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 10: open guy, and that's whoever it is. If it's no secret, 459 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 10: Diggs is arguably the best receiver in the game right now. 460 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 10: He's first reading a lot of our concepts because of 461 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,239 Speaker 10: who he is as a player. If he's open, he's 462 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 10: going to get the ball, you know. And I do 463 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 10: agree that we're going to have to utilize the other 464 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 10: guys and make sure that we're getting their talents and 465 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 10: using them to the best of their abilities to help 466 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 10: this offense. But again, it's Stefan Diggs, you know, And 467 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 10: he's a guy that's opened a lot that I have 468 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 10: a lot of trust and faith in. I got a 469 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 10: lot of trust and faith in all of our guys 470 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 10: here to get open and catch the ball and do 471 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 10: the right thing. So we're just trying to throw to 472 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 10: the open guy. 473 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 3: Especially in general, coaches you get more criticism than players 474 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 3: make it. 475 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 8: For now, you're a player, I know that. Do you 476 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 8: think coaches make it more than the players? 477 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 10: Built from the fans and maybe in the games, I 478 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 10: honestly couldn't tell you that. I'm not one hundred percent sure, 479 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 10: But again, I think everybody in this building is focused 480 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 10: on making sure we're doing the right things for each 481 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 10: other and not not because of outside criticism. 482 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 7: And we're internally driven here. 483 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 10: At one Bill's drive, and we're just trying to win 484 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 10: as many football games as we can and gives ours 485 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 10: give ourselves a chance at the end. So you know, 486 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 10: we're sitting here for and two easily could be the 487 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 10: other way around. Could be better, we could be worse, 488 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 10: you know, So we understand that, and we're gonna keep 489 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 10: working working hard each and every week and try to 490 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 10: be the best versions of ourselves. 491 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 9: A situation when you're sticking up for Spencer that John 492 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 9: just asked about there, I mean, you've already got an 493 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 9: injured shoulder in that, So take me through your decision 494 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 9: making process in the heat of the moment all of that. 495 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 9: I think we all understand sticking up for your teammate 496 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 9: and the bond that exists in that locker room and 497 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 9: has for years now. But as the franchise QB to 498 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 9: get in there and lead with a shoulder that's already 499 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 9: nicked up, take me through the decision making at that point. 500 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, probably shouldn't do it, but again, I'm I got 501 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 10: a lot of a lot of trust and faith and 502 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 10: respect for my teammates. 503 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 8: And yeah, so Seawan said today that it's week seven. 504 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 12: We need to understand what guys do best and put 505 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 12: them in those roles. It is some of that just 506 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 12: a function of the number of new playmakers you have 507 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 12: on this offense around you. You believe, are you still 508 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 12: learning things about guys you know six weeks in that 509 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 12: that weren't with this team and previously. 510 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think to fully know somebody, 511 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 10: it takes it takes a while to know somebody's body 512 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 10: language and their thoughts and to be able to have 513 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 10: these conversations. You know about live game reps, you need, 514 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 10: you need those game reps to have these hard conversations 515 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 10: of like, hey, I need you here. Your body language 516 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 10: was saying. 517 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 7: This to me. So it takes a lot of a 518 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 7: lot of live. 519 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 10: Reps to understand that. And again, we're going to continue 520 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 10: to get better as we go. We understand that, and 521 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 10: again we're just trying to communicate and be the best 522 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 10: versions of ourselves. 523 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 9: To clarify, to clarify on your shoulder moving forward, I'm 524 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 9: trying to mention so earlier in the week, is it 525 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 9: more of like a pain management deal or is it 526 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 9: more preventative risk management. 527 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 10: I would put it in the pain management. But you know, 528 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 10: it's film pretty good. 529 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 13: You devously familiar with the new England defense. Just they 530 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 13: got some versatile pieces like there. Just what do you 531 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 13: see from them and the challenge? 532 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean they do a lot of switching up 533 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 10: their personnel, a lot of guys that are smart and 534 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 10: can play different positions. 535 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 7: Obviously getting J. C. 536 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 10: Jackson back, who was there for a while and played 537 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 10: really well in that system, so making sure we're okay 538 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 10: with that. Uch has been rushing the quarterback really well, 539 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 10: so we're going to make sure we have. 540 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 7: A plan for him. But they switch it up. 541 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 10: Man, There's there's no single thing that you can expect 542 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 10: from them to do. You know, it seems like every 543 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 10: every game is a different game plan designed specifically for 544 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 10: a different quarterback and a different offense. So it's going 545 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 10: to be a fill out process early on, and and 546 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 10: you know, we're gonna have our assumptions of what they're 547 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 10: gonna do, but to be honest, we're not sure until 548 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 10: we get into the game and see their specific game 549 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 10: plan of what they want to do against uff. 550 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 7: So just making sure that we're sticking to our base. 551 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 10: Rules and our protection and and our concepts and again 552 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 10: just trying to find the open guy. 553 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 11: Been one of the best quarterbacks against the Blitz this season. 554 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 11: What about this offense construction do you think enables that? 555 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 10: I mean, I think, you know, are hot routes designed 556 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 10: for that? And again, I think just the the ability 557 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 10: to keep plays alive. And our guys are smart enough 558 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 10: to find windows in the defense. You know, it's hard 559 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 10: to hard to cover for a long period of time. 560 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 10: So if they don't get to me, you know, it's 561 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 10: it's gives our guys opportunities down the field to make 562 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 10: some plays. 563 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 3: With the question when you when you've got here, questions 564 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 3: we're all about how does this team get over the 565 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: hump and beating New England? Those questions have been gone 566 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 3: for quite some time. Curious about that or it's like 567 00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 3: it's just I think some of the guys were getting 568 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 3: sick of being asked those questions and now they're no 569 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 3: longer there. 570 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 10: I mean, you know, at the end of the days, 571 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 10: it's the National Football League. The other thirty one teams 572 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 10: want to win the Super Bowl just like us. The 573 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 10: other guys get paid just like us, and it's no 574 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 10: easy task to win in this league consistently. It really isn't. 575 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 10: Everybody's got a new game plan. Every week is a 576 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 10: different week. Every situation you find yourself and it seems 577 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 10: to be different. So we're just trying to trust in 578 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 10: the leadership that we got here and keep finding ways 579 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 10: to win football games. 580 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 8: Second the league in red zone efficiency. 581 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 14: What has made you so good this season when you 582 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 14: get inside the twenty? 583 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I think we're running the ball well down there, 584 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 10: and I think the passes that we have in have 585 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 10: been good concepts and just making good decisions. Guys are 586 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 10: getting open and catching the ball. 587 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 5: I guess all right. 588 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: That's Josh Allen addressing the media after their walkthrough session today. 589 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: Set his shoulders sore, but he'll be fine for Sunday, 590 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: so no concerns there as far as his availability against 591 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots. We will take a break here because when 592 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: we come back, it's our weekly visit from the Hall 593 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: of Famer Derman Thomas will join us in studio next 594 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health, It's 595 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back here on One Bill's Live, 596 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker and the Hall of Famer Derman 597 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: Thomas making his weekly visit here on set. Good to 598 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: have you in therm as always, absolutely, I threw this 599 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: stat out yesterday, curious for your thoughts on it. In 600 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: twelve personnel this season through six games, Bills are averaging 601 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: three point four to four yards per carry in twelve personnel. 602 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: In eleven personnel, they're averaging five point one two yards 603 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: per carry, almost two yard difference in eleven personnel. Does 604 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: that surprise you at. 605 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 5: All a little bit? Maybe it doesn't. 606 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 2: No, did you ever run any out of eleven person right? 607 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 2: You're in? Like for ten thousand yards. 608 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: Ten five hundred of my twelve thousand yards were in 609 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: eleven personnel and it. 610 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 5: Was mostly an I formation. 611 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 2: That's right too, Jim, Jim was not under center all 612 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 2: the time. Was he was under the shotgun a lot? 613 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 15: Jim was in the shotgun a lot. I think when 614 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 15: our first couple of years of running the no huddle 615 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 15: the K gun, and then I think after. 616 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: That, why did he go back under center? 617 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 15: Yeah, it went back under center more than he usually did, 618 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 15: like the first couple of years. I think, interesting, I think, 619 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 15: I'm not sure. 620 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I sense history repeating itself. Yeah, gonder center a 621 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 2: lot in shotguns, so much Josh and Stark owners, they're 622 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 2: basic clamoring for it. 623 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, look, it takes the element away of 624 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 15: half a second of him snapping center, snapping the ball, 625 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 15: him keeping his eyes focused on the football, and then 626 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 15: looking up. 627 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 5: You're going to the center. 628 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 2: It's not it's not nothing right exactly. 629 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna turn their back under center too, if they're gonna. 630 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 15: Well they turned sideways, true, but I mean they could 631 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 15: be defending depending on formation. Yeah, if you're looking at that, 632 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 15: if you've got three wives over here and you got well, 633 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 15: obviously gonna look over here and not really kind of 634 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 15: worry about the back. 635 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 5: So I don't know. 636 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 15: I think this will be a fun game to figure 637 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 15: out if we can do that, And I think if 638 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 15: we do, it has to be early in the game. 639 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 5: We can't wait to do it the third quarter. 640 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 15: I think, at least for the next two games, because 641 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 15: I think those two games are winnable New England and 642 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 15: the Bucks, even though the Bucks are worth three and 643 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 15: one four to one in their in their in their defenses, 644 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 15: it's a good defense.

I have no idea. 647 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 15: I'm sure they hear the rumblings of what we're talking about, 648 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 15: but no, it's up to Ken dorsey Man and Sean 649 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 15: McDermott if they want to do that. I would love 650 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 15: to see in all this, I would love to see 651 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 15: James Cook a little bit more involved in the passing game. 652 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was talking about that, just the simple swing stuff, 653 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: just to get him out in space, you know, just 654 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: to like those swing passes. I mean they've hit him 655 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: on checkdowns underneath in the middle of the field, which 656 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: is great, right, but I want him kind of out 657 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: on the edges, you know, making people miss because. 658 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 6: He has to do that, because he can do that. 659 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 15: And the thing I think about with him is that, 660 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 15: you know, you saw a lot of talk to Murray 661 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 15: yesterday and you know, he got a lot more playing 662 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 15: time than he normally would get. 663 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, with Damien Harrison, with Damien Harris. 664 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 15: Down and so he was like a little sore yesterday 665 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 15: We're out here for the community Food Bank out there. 666 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 5: And he was like, yeah, I'm a little sore because 667 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 5: I got a little bit more than what I'm used 668 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 5: to getting. 669 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 15: So but I tell you what having him and James Cook. 670 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 15: I mean, when was the last time we've seen a screenplay. 671 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 15: We haven't run a screenplay. 672 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: I don't know how we were having that conversation with 673 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 2: dani Orlovski. He says, I'd like to see him run screen. 674 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: Like to run screens working on it for the next 675 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: two months, so they have it in their back pocket 676 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: for the playoffs. But I was trying, We were trying 677 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 1: to tell Dan they've been trying to run a screen game. 678 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 2: For four four years. They happen. Yeah, Like, I. 679 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: Don't know why. I don't know what the stumbling block 680 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: is there, but whether they can't time it up, lock 681 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: it up, take, whether it takes too long to develop, 682 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: Like there's been all kinds of issues with the screen 683 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: game when they've tried to utilized in the last few years. 684 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 5: We love the screen game, yeah a lot. 685 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 15: I mean, and I think it, you know, even with 686 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 15: House Baeler, you know, Will Woolford. 687 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 5: Home big guys, you know, and so I don't know, Look. 688 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 2: It's hard to run because the offensive line is so important, 689 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 2: and if they got to act like they're getting beat 690 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 2: and then get out front of it, and it's timing 691 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 2: and it's also really dependent on what they're running, zone 692 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,439 Speaker 2: or man. If it's man covered, somebody got to get 693 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 2: the guy covering the back right and that's hard to 694 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 2: find because the guy sees it. And then you know, 695 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 2: if it's zoned, you got to make sure you don't 696 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 2: run down the field before the ball's thrown, and you 697 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 2: got to make it look good. All that, and plus 698 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 2: if it's zone blitz, somebody's dropping out and you try 699 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 2: and block the guy that's dropping out and now you're 700 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 2: you know, your your hat, you're done. So's it's hard 701 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 2: to run. It's a it's a really complicated play because 702 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 2: there's a little deception in it that you need to work. Plus, 703 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 2: all five guys in the offensive line have to know 704 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 2: zone man in the cup. Forget about the guy's rushing. 705 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 2: They got to know zone man the secondary, so they 706 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 2: know if somebody got to pick that guy up, who's 707 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 2: got the back man, or if they're zoning it off, 708 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 2: who's got the middle curl route. You know, so it's complicated. 709 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 2: It takes a lot of work. 710 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 15: It is complicated, but it shouldn't be that complicated. If 711 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 15: you're looking at who's rushing the passer over at the tackle. 712 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 5: That's a huge key, you know. 713 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 15: I mean, if it's Von Miller, I'm gonna try to 714 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,479 Speaker 15: get him with a couple of screens. If it's third 715 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 15: and long, if we're gonna be an attempt to run 716 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 15: a screen, yeah, I'm gonna looking at it like this 717 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 15: is a perfect time to do this. 718 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 16: Because he's he's coming, he's blasting. He's not looking for 719 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 16: a draw or anything like that. He's looking for that quarterback. 720 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 16: And that would be like, but who are those rushers? 721 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 5: Right, I don't think. 722 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, Well, New England's best rushers out he's 723 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: on I R Matt Judah. 724 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 5: Mike Judah, right, are so? 725 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: So? 726 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 15: I don't know, so Jos, I mean that it could 727 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 15: be a defensive back. Who knows, it could be a 728 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 15: defensive I don't know. But I would really like to 729 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 15: see them when they work on that screenplay a lot 730 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 15: more because it does help your football team. 731 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 6: Yeah. 732 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 2: But yeah, Tampa based three and two. By the way, 733 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 2: they just came out of their buy so they only 734 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 2: played five games. They lost to the Lions this last 735 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 2: week and got thumped pretty good twenty. 736 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,959 Speaker 5: To six, So Lions are good. 737 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 2: They got thumped pretty good. 738 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:24,439 Speaker 5: Lions are good. 739 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Lions are good. Yeah, Lions are. 740 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: And let them on the Steve's most hated franchises. 741 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,919 Speaker 2: I hate him. I just don't respect them. Yeah, that's 742 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 2: what they just been. They stunk for five or six decades, 743 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 2: and you know now they don't for a minute. 744 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 15: And I've always said having that and not having and 745 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 15: having probably two of the best, if not one of 746 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 15: the best players of all time on their team and 747 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 15: they didn't go anywhere. 748 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson and Barry Barry Sanders. 749 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 15: Yeah right, yeah, So I get you that. 750 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: Steve's funny. You should hear his conversation. Yeah, oh my gosh, 751 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: de troyd and Chicago chiefly. 752 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 2: That's why, that's why Brett Farr and Aaron Rodgers are 753 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. 754 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,879 Speaker 1: Because they played in the NFC North. 755 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 2: They had been the NFC East, they'd be Dak Prescott 756 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 2: at best. Maybe not that bad, but I'm not saying 757 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 2: the Dak's bad either, but they wouldn't have been those guys. 758 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 2: They're playing twice against Minnesota, who's like, okay, in Chicago, 759 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 2: for goodness, Chicago, Troy. 760 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: Come on, you know what I thought about? Wow? 761 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 2: Come on, man? 762 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: In Chicago hasn't had a quarterback and forever. 763 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 2: That's where quarterbacks go to die. 764 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: Troy didn't have a quarterback forever. You know, even when 765 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 1: they Stafford. 766 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 2: Do you tell me how they messed up with Stafford 767 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 2: and Megatron on their team? How do you mess that up? 768 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: How do you mess that up? 769 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 17: Wow? 770 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: Well, I'm still here. Look at Atlanta. I mean, Atlanta's 771 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: got b Jeon Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and they 772 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: had Calvin Ridley. But they have a quarterback, so a 773 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: lot of talent there too. In trouble. This is a 774 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: lot of games. 775 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 2: Because here's the thing about this New England game for 776 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 2: the Bills getting back on track. They always scare me 777 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 2: because they're really well coached, always well coached, well prepared. 778 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,479 Speaker 2: They have not been able to put it together this year. 779 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 2: Neither had the Giants, and they almost did it against us, 780 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 2: the Bills. The Giants, we had people calling in the 781 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 2: show saying, and we could kind of see it. This 782 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 2: Bills game on Monday Night was their game of the year. 783 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 2: That was they played as well as they played against anybody. 784 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 5: It was because they're the coach. 785 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 2: But go ahead, Yeah, that's what I'm afraid it happens 786 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 2: with Patriots in their building at one o'clock on Sunday. 787 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna rise up well in division game. 788 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 15: Look, I've been thinking about it since I guess a 789 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 15: couple of days ago. And the only thing that it 790 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 15: really reminded me of the first time that I thought 791 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 15: about it. 792 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 5: Twelve and three. 793 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,280 Speaker 15: Nineteen eighty eight, were playing the coach. The coach probably 794 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 15: won two or three games that year. We go down 795 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 15: and beat get beat by the coach. Last game of 796 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 15: this even Cincinnati and Us flipped the number one seat. 797 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,439 Speaker 2: We would kill that was right, you know why we're 798 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 2: getting off the plane on the tarmac in Indianapolis. 799 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: Sparked the memory here there. 800 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean it's playing Washington. Since night's playing Washington. 801 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 2: If Cincinnati loses, we can't lose. The one seed goes 802 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,919 Speaker 2: to overtime and Chip Miller of the of the Washington Redskins. 803 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 2: In overtime, Chip shot to win it and he donks it. 804 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 2: We're watching it on a screen, a TV screen. There's 805 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 2: literally one inch by one inch one of the little 806 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: with an antenna. We're watching on the air. We're like 807 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 2: six guys around a TV screen that is the size 808 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 2: of a postage stamp. And he dooinks it. We just 809 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 2: got off the plane, the charter flight in Indianapis. So 810 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 2: now we got now and that's. 811 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 5: Where it was. Now we got to play. Now we 812 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 5: gotta late in the week. It wasside that so. 813 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 2: Indianapolis. 814 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 15: Yeah, but this is kind of what that game is 815 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 15: right now. I mean, look, we don't know if Belichick 816 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 15: is going to be gone or is he going to stay. 817 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: But some of that chatter going on, there's that chatter. 818 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 15: But for him to be the defensive coordinator to put 819 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 15: together game player, I mean, I could you say, like 820 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 15: see I can still do it. 821 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't. But I don't think so. 822 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 823 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 2: I know we needed I mean they need some guys. 824 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 5: Hey look, I mean. 825 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 15: You if you if you got to get more innovated body, 826 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 15: I mean, by whatever, when you get out on the field, 827 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 15: talk trash or whatever to let them know it's going 828 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 15: to be a long day that you're going to have 829 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 15: no shot. You have to start it right when you 830 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 15: get off that bus to the stadium. Yeah, that's the mindset. 831 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 15: You just have to have that no matter what. 832 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, and I yeah, somebody. 833 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,240 Speaker 15: I mean, look, somebody has can't be We've been throwing 834 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 15: Josh and stuff, great combination, love it. I mean they're clicking, 835 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 15: but somebody else has to step up a tight end, 836 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 15: a running back, somebody. 837 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 2: You can't. You can't go scoreless for three quarters. 838 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 5: You cannot. You cannot because. 839 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 2: They get harder to beat and you get easier to beat. 840 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: We got to take a quick break, but we'll be 841 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: back with more, including Thurman segment number two and uh, 842 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: we'll talk just about what New England has and what 843 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 1: they don't have. Because two of their most gifted players 844 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: on defense are on injured reserve. How much does that 845 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: change the dynamic. We'll talk about that when we come 846 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:18,240 Speaker 1: back here on one Bill's Live. Stay tuned. This week's 847 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: game against the Patriots is presented by Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster, the 848 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: official ticket marketplace of the NFL. As we mentioned before 849 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 1: the break, Matthew Judon Christian Gonzales both out indefinitely for 850 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 1: the Patriots. There are some names on the defensive side 851 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: of the ball, but that's two of their most gifted 852 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 1: athletes physically them. That doesn't help a defense that has 853 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 1: had trouble stopping people. 854 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, and you probably don't even know the 855 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 15: names of the two guys that have played for them 856 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 15: in the past couple of games, right. 857 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: Well, I mean they did well once Gonzales got hurt. 858 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,320 Speaker 1: That's when the Patriots traded to get J. C. Jackson 859 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: back from the Jars. Yes, so they tried to a 860 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: hole that way via trade. And I mean they have 861 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 1: Josh Ucha, who for the most part has been more 862 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 1: of a situational pass rusher than a full time player. 863 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: But he's playing more now. Not a big guy though, 864 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: you can there's now there's a guy you can run at. 865 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: He's an undersize pass rusher. You want to run right 866 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: at him. There's that's not a bad idea. 867 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 5: Not a bad idea. 868 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,800 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, it's it's just gonna be one of 869 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 15: those games, man, where we're just gonna have to come 870 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 15: out and just we can't do what we did against 871 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 15: the Giants on the first couple of drives, No, we 872 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 15: I mean at least pick up two or three first 873 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 15: downs to get into a rhythm to do whatever. Like 874 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 15: you know, we've Josh is now on the injury list. 875 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 15: But you know whatever that is. 876 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: I mean, well, he said it's not. 877 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 5: He said, it's nothing right. 878 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 15: But I'm just saying, you know what, if we have to, 879 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,760 Speaker 15: you know, let Josh be Josh again. 880 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 5: Let him be Josh again. 881 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 15: Because we haven't really seen too much of the scrambling. 882 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 15: He's kind of looking to maybe Florid Way, I get 883 00:44:59,400 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 15: the big player. 884 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear it's been drilled into his 885 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: head to not run. Now, maybe that changes when you 886 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,240 Speaker 1: get to the postseason and you have some design runs 887 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 1: and you say, hey, do whatever you gotta do, and 888 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: we see him running like he used to. I don't 889 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: think they're sign enough to do that. For the first 890 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 1: seventeen games in the regular season, he. 891 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 2: Didn't have to do that. We're talking over the course 892 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 2: of those we're four and two. Over the course of 893 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 2: those six teams, you're six games. You're talking maybe four 894 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 2: or five maybe plays, four or five over the course 895 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 2: of six games. That's all you're talking about. That that's 896 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 2: not the old Josh we're talking about. He's talking about 897 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 2: the old Josh was running four or five, six extra 898 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 2: times and a half. All you needed was maybe four 899 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 2: or five plays over the course of those six games 900 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 2: to make a big difference in them. In three of 901 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 2: those games you didn't need it. Two of them might 902 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 2: have made a difference, and that's it. So it's not 903 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 2: like we're talking about transformative or that they got to 904 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,399 Speaker 2: talk to Josh about running. Now he's got to make 905 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 2: the play that's there to be made because we see that, 906 00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 2: like just touchdown to Quinton Morris. 907 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: That's a Josh Allen. 908 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 2: That's that's Josh Allen. But ain't nobody coaching him up 909 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 2: to do that, right, So just let he's fine, and 910 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 2: this whole offense one they just got to execute like 911 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,359 Speaker 2: this last game against the Giants. So Josh makes all 912 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 2: these plays. We're watching the highlights as we talk Pete 913 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 2: for our radio listeners. We're watching some of these highlights, 914 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 2: and Josh is throwing this thing to Quinton Morris. He's 915 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 2: shaking off a three hundred pound guy on a tackle. 916 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 2: He's running out to his right, throwing about crosses, all 917 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 2: of this stuff he's doing. Then you get into the 918 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 2: third down in the fourth quarter. He rolls out. All 919 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 2: he gotta do is throw a ten yard past the 920 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 2: Dawson Knox. He can't, he can't do it, and Dawson 921 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 2: Knox is going sliding down backwards trying to catch a 922 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,479 Speaker 2: ball six inches off the grd. That's the just do that, 923 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the that's why he's there to be 924 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 2: man Ken Dorsey's up there banging his head on his surface, 925 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 2: and because he calls his perfect play to ice the game, 926 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 2: and two of his best, most trusted offensive players on both. 927 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 1: Ends of it can't execute it. 928 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 2: Don'tink it so that you know that's you know, this 929 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 2: team is really good offensively and defensively. They're going to 930 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 2: continue to be really good in crucial moments. And this 931 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 2: is why the Patriot game scares me. The Patriots have 932 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 2: always crushed the Bills in those crucial moments. They're situationally 933 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 2: very aware, and sometimes the Bills have not been like 934 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 2: that third downplay against the Giants that would iced it, 935 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 2: like the Hail Murray. Over the course of these last 936 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 2: you know, five or six years, the Hail Murray comes 937 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,479 Speaker 2: to mind, the thirteen seconds comes to mind, all these 938 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 2: moments where. 939 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: Bro and I can't change your mind by telling you 940 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 1: that the Patriots have scored twenty points in their last 941 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 1: three games combined. That can't change That doesn't change your 942 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 1: mind at all. 943 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 15: If them guys don't know in that locker room that 944 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 15: they owned us for twenty years and now it's been 945 00:47:58,600 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 15: kind of flipped. 946 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 5: It's been one hour away. 947 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,240 Speaker 1: Twenty points in three games. Yeah, that's not a lot. 948 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 1: We know the Patriots do things differently. Guys, what are 949 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: your thoughts on this? On a fifty three man roster? 950 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: The Patriots have not one, not two, not three, but 951 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks four on their fifty three man roster. Mac Jones, 952 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 1: Malik Cunningham, Will Greer, and Bailey Zappy. 953 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:34,200 Speaker 5: Is that from West Virginia? 954 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 1: Yes, they picked him up a few weeks back off waivers. 955 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: I want to say, and I don't know they signed 956 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: him as free agent, but this Malik Cunningham kid is 957 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 1: a dual threat guy. Well, Malik Cunningham got in briefly 958 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: last week against the Raiders, tried to run like some 959 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 1: kind of wildcat stuff. Neither of the plays worked. They 960 00:48:55,160 --> 00:49:00,879 Speaker 1: both blew up. But they need other options. And now 961 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 1: the Bills have to prepare for that guy. You know, 962 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,840 Speaker 1: whether he's gonna run wildcat or he's gonna come in 963 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: and play ten plays, five plays, three plays. It's something 964 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: extra they got to prepare for now. Because it's on tape. 965 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: It's there does it mean a hill of beans? Probably not. 966 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 2: Well means something. It means they're really desperate to generate 967 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 2: any sort of offense. Now they're they've got to have 968 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 2: a little faith in maybe the defensive side of their 969 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 2: ball to hold teams down, you know, at least to 970 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,240 Speaker 2: twenty or mid twenty, mid teams to mid twenty points. 971 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 2: If they can do that, that's gives them a chance. 972 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 2: And that's so they got to feel like if they 973 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 2: get any kind of spark, get a free touchdown here 974 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 2: or there, or maybe keep a drive alive, they got 975 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 2: to do it. That's where they're at. They're one and five. 976 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: But let me ask you my question. On a roster 977 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: that is so starved for legitimate talent, how the hell 978 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,280 Speaker 1: do you justify four quarterbacks on fifty three man roster 979 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: when three of them can barely play. Yeah, somebody's got 980 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 1: to help me with that. 981 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,399 Speaker 2: A lot of guys, that's a lot of. 982 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: Does that make any sense to you? That's a that 983 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: makes sense to me. 984 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 2: It's either one or it's like two roster spots that 985 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 2: you could use for another position. 986 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 1: And they need help and help everywhere. Juju Smith makes 987 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 1: no sense. 988 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 2: Juju Smith Schuster who missed last week with a concussion. 989 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 2: He's back on the practice field. And then it's interesting 990 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 2: in the in the release that I read, they didn't 991 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 2: even name the guys that are the new They have 992 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,280 Speaker 2: new guy, two new guys on their practice field, number 993 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 2: fifty two and number thirty four. 994 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 1: No names. 995 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,359 Speaker 2: Maybe defensive lineman number fifty two and number thirty four 996 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 2: who was with the tight ends. They don't know who 997 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 2: they are, don't know where they are, but that's who 998 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:40,479 Speaker 2: they were. 999 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 15: Would we ever criticize Belichick for tanking? 1000 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if he wants to tank, because he 1001 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: may not have a job if he does. They haven't 1002 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: made the playoffs in five years or hasn't been that 1003 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 1: LONGI no, No. 1004 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,280 Speaker 5: They just played two years. 1005 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:58,239 Speaker 2: Two years ago they played. 1006 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 1: No, they got knocked out last year. We beat him 1007 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:01,840 Speaker 1: in the week seventeen. 1008 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, the year before that was the perfect game. 1009 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 1: Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one had two years. But 1010 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: he's it's starting to haven't won a playoff game in years, 1011 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: that's starting to want a playoff game. 1012 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 2: It's starting to look ominously like Bill Belichick may, if 1013 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 2: he hangs around long enough, be the winning his head 1014 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 2: coach in NFL football. But he might be the first. 1015 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 2: He might get to the losing losing run. He's closer 1016 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 2: to the most loss. 1017 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: And that's eight away from That's the note we want 1018 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,919 Speaker 1: to finish on. The Bills do not want to lose 1019 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,959 Speaker 1: this week because if they do, it will be Bill 1020 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 1: Belichick's three hundredth victory of his career. You don't want 1021 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:39,359 Speaker 1: to be that team. 1022 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 5: You don't want to be that team. 1023 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 15: No, you don't want to be And you know what, 1024 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 15: we're scared. But I'm a little nervous, but I think 1025 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 15: you're not scared. It can't be. It can't be with 1026 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 15: this office. Go three games in a row and look 1027 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 15: that it just cannot happen. 1028 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 6: I get it. 1029 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, come on. 1030 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 15: I mean after the first week we were talking about 1031 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 15: what's wrong with Josh, what's wrong with the offense, and 1032 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,439 Speaker 15: then they scored thirty points in the next three games 1033 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 15: or whatever and forty points. Yeah, and then now it's 1034 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 15: you know, two back to back games where the offense 1035 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 15: had a slow start. 1036 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 2: Come on, these they have had moments in both those games, 1037 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 2: but they been they started slow. 1038 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 5: They started slow. 1039 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 1: Back to the UH Stormtrooper.

They're 1057 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: based on what coach McDermott had explained to everybody. So 1058 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,240 Speaker 1: your non participants are Damien Harris, Quentin Morrison at Oliver 1059 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 1: with a toe injury as described by coach McDermott. Limited 1060 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:04,799 Speaker 1: participants Josh Allen with his right shoulder, although he said 1061 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,600 Speaker 1: he'll be good to go for the game, and then 1062 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: kyri elam with an ankle injury that coach McDermott said 1063 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 1: stemmed from a preseason injury. He reaggravated his ankle, so 1064 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,359 Speaker 1: he was limited today. Dane Jackson working his way back 1065 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 1: from a foot injury that kept him out of last 1066 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 1: week's game.

Cam lewis a gunner on special teams 1068 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 1: and obviously a backup safety and slot corner.

As you know, 1071 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 1: he missed the Week five game, came back played Week six, 1072 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: and was sore coming out of that game, so limited 1073 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: in practice today if you want to look at the 1074 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: full listing and go to Buffalo Bills dot com for that. 1075 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 1: Around the league, Deshaun Watson, who's missed each of the 1076 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 1: last two games with a fight shoulder contusion, not practicing 1077 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 1: again today. That makes their win last week even more impressive, Steve. 1078 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: They beat the forty nine ers nineteen seventeen with p J. 1079 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,759 Speaker 1: Walker at quarterback. 1080 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 2: Any given Sunday, bro. 1081 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 1: Indeed, which would lend credence to your concern for this 1082 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:28,239 Speaker 1: Sunday for the Bills. Yeah huh, that's all you got, 1083 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 1: Yah huh. 1084 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. They that coaching staff has not forgotten how to coach, 1085 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,359 Speaker 2: and they're a hard team to run off on leave. 1086 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,480 Speaker 2: And the Bills have done it at times, you know, 1087 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 2: particularly the last couple of years when you know, after 1088 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 2: the post Brady years, the playoff game here of course, 1089 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,400 Speaker 2: the thirty five to twenty three game last year, the 1090 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 2: Monday Night game, the thirty nine to three game or 1091 00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:01,680 Speaker 2: whatever that was. They've done it in recent years with 1092 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 2: this kind of core group. But you know, you don't 1093 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,320 Speaker 2: do that all the time. They're the only team in 1094 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 2: twenty years who's beat the Patriots three times in a 1095 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:15,080 Speaker 2: row by double digits. Something's gonna happen, That's just I 1096 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 2: know that sounds crazy. It just feels to me that's 1097 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 2: too good to be true, too easy. 1098 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 5: Right. 1099 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 2: So I think you're I think you're in for a 1100 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 2: dogfight this weekend. I really do. 1101 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,760 Speaker 1: I get it. It's a division game. 1102 00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,360 Speaker 2: And it's as much about them as it is about it. 1103 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: We should anticipate that, you know, but the Bills unquestionably 1104 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: are the more talented team on both sides. Of the 1105 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 1: ball and probably even on special teams. And I realize 1106 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,440 Speaker 1: the end of given Sunday rule applies every Sunday in 1107 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 1: this league. What is the not that it matters. I 1108 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 1: was gonna ask what the spread on the game was, 1109 00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 1: just out of curiosity. We know last week spread got 1110 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,320 Speaker 1: up to fifteen points. 1111 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,880 Speaker 2: And we're being told eight and a half now, right. 1112 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:11,640 Speaker 1: So it's a little over a touchdown. Does it mean anything? 1113 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 1: Probably not as it pertains to the game specifically. But 1114 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the game last year up there. You know, 1115 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 1: Buffalo got a couple of early scoring drives and then 1116 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 1: literally choked the life out of the game and they 1117 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: won twenty four to ten. I'd be fine with that. 1118 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,919 Speaker 2: Well, sure, I'd be fine with a six to five game. 1119 00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't care. 1120 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,320 Speaker 1: You might be in the minority, yeah. 1121 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 2: But you take the win, you take the winn, and 1122 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 2: yes you go off man. And you know this week 1123 00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 2: I just saw you know, they've got twelve guys you 1124 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,680 Speaker 2: just mentioned. There's twelve guys on the injury list, the 1125 00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,960 Speaker 2: most they've had on the injury list all season. And 1126 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 2: that doesn't include the guys that are like off the 1127 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 2: team on IR already Milano and Tredavious White. Those guys 1128 00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 2: aren't even listed on it. So it's twelve names on 1129 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 2: it today. You know, it's saying ain't easy. And so 1130 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 2: you got some guys that are limited, like Josh Josh 1131 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 2: is fine, he's limited. Kyrie Elam's limited. You'd think he's 1132 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 2: gonna be all right, but he's got an ankle's he's 1133 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 2: dragging around. Dame Jackson still limited, Cam Lewis limited, and 1134 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 2: Greg Russeau limited. He need Rousseau to be good. You know, 1135 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 2: Ed Oliver's didn't practice, Quinton Morris didn't practice, Damien Harris 1136 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 2: didn't practice. As we know, I mean, twelve guys, it's 1137 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 2: a thirty year roster, not quite a third, it's twenty 1138 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 2: five percent of your roster. Anyway, Yep, I get it. 1139 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 2: I'm you know this. It's not getting easier. It's not 1140 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 2: going to be easy. And I'm this Patriot game. With 1141 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 2: the way they're coach and what we've seen from the past, 1142 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 2: you know, they kind of find a way to hang around, 1143 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 2: hang around, hang around, and then all of a sudden 1144 00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 2: they're in the lead with two minutes to go in 1145 00:58:58,680 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 2: the game. 1146 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 1: You know, for those that didn't hear earlier in the 1147 00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 1: show concerning Josh Allen's shoulder injury that gave him a 1148 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:13,919 Speaker 1: limited designation today. On the injury report, he said it's 1149 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: feeling pretty good and had said during his time with 1150 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,240 Speaker 1: the media that we'll be ready to go was his 1151 00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:26,400 Speaker 1: response regarding his shoulder. So no need to panic. If 1152 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: you're out there panicking, not necessary. It is what it is, Steve. 1153 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 1: Our topic of discussion today for our listeners out there 1154 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 1: is who do you want to see more production from 1155 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 1: in the Bills offense. We've had a lot of fans 1156 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,360 Speaker 1: clamoring for other people to step up and make plays 1157 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,880 Speaker 1: who are not named Stefan Diggs in the passing game 1158 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 1: or in the run game for that matter, and we're 1159 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 1: asking you give us a name. Who do you want 1160 00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,080 Speaker 1: to see more production from in the Bills offense? So 1161 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: I think Gabriel Davis has been pretty good and putting 1162 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 1: production up. He had four touchdowns in four straight games 1163 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 1: up until this past week, and I think had a 1164 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 1: one hundred Yeah, I had an even one hundred yards 1165 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 1: against the Jags, had ninety two the week before. So 1166 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 1: it's not like he hasn't been producing, you know, And 1167 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 1: I know some fans out there are a little frustrated 1168 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 1: that Kincaid hasn't had more game changing type plays in 1169 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,280 Speaker 1: the past game. He obviously missed last week in concussion protocol, 1170 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 1: but he's out now so he looks good for this 1171 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 1: week's game. So who is it for you? Who do 1172 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 1: you want to see more production from the Bills offense? 1173 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 1: Eight h three zero five fifty won eight eight eight 1174 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty the number to get on board. 1175 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 1: We will be getting to the post practice podium as 1176 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 1: well to hear from one von Miller here shortly too. 1177 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,920 Speaker 1: Do you have a name in mind that you think 1178 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 1: would diversify the offense in a good way? 1179 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 2: I'd like I think I'd like to see Dawson Knox 1180 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 2: just be who he has been in the past. You know, 1181 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 2: certainly kin Kaid is his cherry on the cake. 1182 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 5: I don't. 1183 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with what kin Kaid has 1184 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,920 Speaker 2: done already. He's doing everything they ask him to do. 1185 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 2: Certainly you could ask him to do more. Getting him 1186 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 2: back on the field healthy is just step one. I'm 1187 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 2: I don't think the offense needs to be transformed in 1188 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,919 Speaker 2: any way, shape or form. They're playing at a high 1189 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,720 Speaker 2: level slow starts, of course, but when you know when 1190 01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 2: they're when they're on the field there, you expect things 1191 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 2: from him. Still, It's not like you're wondering and everything. 1192 01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 2: You look back at all the drive killers, they've had 1193 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 2: most of them with the ex you know, the tripping 1194 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,840 Speaker 2: calling against you know, the Giants, notwithstanding most have been 1195 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 2: on them. Yeah, you know, the drive killers have been us, 1196 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:48,800 Speaker 2: not them. 1197 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,720 Speaker 1: I would submit James Cook to this conversation more from 1198 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 1: a total yards from scrimmage standpoint, you know, running and 1199 01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,440 Speaker 1: catching the ball. We heard Thurman James Cook as well. 1200 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,720 Speaker 1: I'd like to see him out in space a little 1201 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,439 Speaker 1: bit more because I think there's a yards after catch 1202 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 1: element to his game that maybe hasn't been fully tapped into. 1203 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,880 Speaker 1: I think we saw him run as decisively as we 1204 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 1: have ever seen him this past week against the Giants, 1205 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 1: and he was crucial on some of those long touchdown drives, 1206 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, the eighty nine yard drive that went seventeen plays, 1207 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,720 Speaker 1: the seventy five yard drive that went twelve plays, both 1208 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,200 Speaker 1: of which wound up in the end zone. He was 1209 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 1: pretty critical and getting some first downs with some I 1210 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:31,960 Speaker 1: don't know if we could call him chunk runs, but 1211 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 1: they were productive runs to keep the drive going and 1212 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 1: more importantly, to keep the Giants defense honest. So I'd 1213 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 1: like to see him on the field a little bit 1214 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 1: more and getting more opportunities in the pass game going forward. 1215 01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think one of the things about last 1216 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 2: week that kind of showed up was that it looked 1217 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 2: like you Latavious Murray was getting a few well and 1218 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 2: maybe no it was before was before Damien Harris went down. 1219 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 2: I thought Latavious Murray was a force. He's really good 1220 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,440 Speaker 2: at getting through the line of scrimmage with some velocity, 1221 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 2: and his size makes that an extra added bonus. So 1222 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 2: he snapped off a couple of runs that were really, 1223 01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,000 Speaker 2: really quality runs right when the Bills needed them. And 1224 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 2: I would say that's that kind of thing is what 1225 01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:25,360 Speaker 2: keeps James Cook from getting more carries, because this is 1226 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 2: a hot hand offense, particularly at the running back. They 1227 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 2: when the guy starts playing well, they leave him in. 1228 01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,960 Speaker 2: They did it with They did it with Devin Singletary, 1229 01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 2: they did it with Zach Moss, they did with all 1230 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 2: those guys they've had here over the last few years. 1231 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 2: When a guy gets hot, he starts getting more and 1232 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 2: more reps. No matter how the rotation is set to go, 1233 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 2: they derail the rotation and leave the guy in right, 1234 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 2: and I could you know, Latavious Murray is a guy 1235 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,960 Speaker 2: that looks like he's gonna be the guy that they're 1236 01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,400 Speaker 2: going to leave in there once in a while. 1237 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 1: Let's go to the and we go to Judy in Buffalo. 1238 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 1: Here first, she's gonna lead us off. What do you 1239 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 1: got for us, Judy, you're on one Bill's Live. 1240 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 17: Yeah, to answer your question, I'm surprised that they haven't 1241 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 17: utilized Shakiir more this year. You know, we need a 1242 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 17: Cold Beasley replacement, and I thought Shakira had the ability 1243 01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,480 Speaker 17: to do this. I think he can be elusive. He 1244 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:27,920 Speaker 17: comes through what were one reception per game, and you know, 1245 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,680 Speaker 17: he makes a first down and everything. I just wonder 1246 01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 17: why why they're not utilizing him more. 1247 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a valid question, Judy. As far as his 1248 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 1: snap counts go, last week he played the most snaps 1249 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 1: he has all season, got twenty four, but in the 1250 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 1: receiving corps alone, he is fourth behind Gabe Davis, Stefon Diggs, 1251 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 1: and Trent Sherfield. Believe it or not, he's gotten more 1252 01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 1: snaps than Deontay Hardy. 1253 01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. One reason that's because he's a better blocker. 1254 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 1: Surefield you're talking. 1255 01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 2: About, I'm talking about Shakir's better blocker than Hardy is. 1256 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd have either of from blocking 1257 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 1: per se, but. 1258 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 2: He was in there playing in that tight wing right 1259 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,439 Speaker 2: a lot this last Now that was a game plan thing. 1260 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 2: But yes, but you. 1261 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 1: Know, I get it. I think it was interesting to 1262 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 1: hear coach McDermott today, Steve talk about, Hey, we're in 1263 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: week seven now, we're getting to the point where we 1264 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:30,160 Speaker 1: should know what each of our offensive weapons do best 1265 01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 1: and how to scheme up ways to utilize them in 1266 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:40,000 Speaker 1: those areas. So it sounds as though there have been 1267 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,760 Speaker 1: some conversations here recently, Hey, if we're going to get 1268 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,640 Speaker 1: out of these early funks that we've had each of 1269 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,600 Speaker 1: the last two weeks on offense, going three and out, 1270 01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 1: three and out, et cetera. I think they want to 1271 01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:58,200 Speaker 1: tap into all of the talent that their offensive personnel 1272 01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 1: has to offer and utilize it in the best way possible. 1273 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: And every case is different. I don't have to tell 1274 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 1: you that, but every like Trent Sherfield strengths are different 1275 01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:13,080 Speaker 1: from Khalil Shakir's strength, So use his strength in a 1276 01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,240 Speaker 1: way that fits the scheme and then do the same 1277 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 1: with Shakir and Hardy and likewise. For example, Hardy in 1278 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 1: an orbit motion is wide open on a swing pass 1279 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,880 Speaker 1: for a three yard touchdown. That's utilizing Hardy to his 1280 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 1: strengths out in space. You know you can get yards 1281 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,480 Speaker 1: after the catch and you know, get you to the 1282 01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 1: end zone. 1283 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Judy's right, and so were you, Brent. I mean, 1284 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,440 Speaker 2: it is something that we've talked about. Why Shakir is 1285 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,160 Speaker 2: where he is on the totem pole and why is 1286 01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 2: he And some of it is that they're asking him 1287 01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 2: to return kicks when he and that's a role that 1288 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,200 Speaker 2: he's returning kickoffs and he catches punts once in a 1289 01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 2: while too. I think, if I remember right, Hardy's been 1290 01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 2: doing a lot of that as well. 1291 01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:53,560 Speaker 1: Hardy's upon return of Shakier is the kicker, right. 1292 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 2: So I'm I'm kind of with you. Whenever your offense 1293 01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 2: seems to be slow starting or needs a spark, or 1294 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,800 Speaker 2: somebody's got to make a player, they need some consistency 1295 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 2: or whatever, you kind of look to the guys, particularly 1296 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 2: when Diggs is still playing at a high level. Josh 1297 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 2: is still throwing at a high level. What come on, somebody, 1298 01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:14,600 Speaker 2: let's see. 1299 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 1: I think this is less less of a coordinator issue 1300 01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 1: and more of a decision making issue because we've seen 1301 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 1: on tape Shaki running open. We've seen Sherfield running open. Now, 1302 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,880 Speaker 1: they're not playing a ton in terms of snapcounts, but 1303 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,280 Speaker 1: when they are on the field, they are open. They're 1304 01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 1: just not being targeted for whatever reason. 1305 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,920 Speaker 2: And that's on Josh. And certainly they may not be 1306 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,760 Speaker 2: the number one guy in the progression. But if they're open, 1307 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 2: they're open, So you're not. You can't ask him to 1308 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 2: do more than that. Like you can go back. Okay, 1309 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:54,520 Speaker 2: the long pass down the near sideline against Miami where 1310 01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,160 Speaker 2: Shakir couldn't pull in the Josh. Josh makes a great 1311 01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 2: throw and Shaki's got a guy holding his arm and 1312 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 2: he can't pull it in and drives over. That kind 1313 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 2: of stuff happens. Uh, But I don't know that, you know, 1314 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 2: I don't know that that's any thing that's keeping him 1315 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:12,680 Speaker 2: off the field. Right, he got opened deep and he 1316 01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 2: couldn't pull in a tough catch. Okay, you still got 1317 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,120 Speaker 2: to give the guy a shot and he you know, 1318 01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 2: that is not the kind of thing that keeps a 1319 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:25,719 Speaker 2: guy from playing more in subsequent weeks. You're right, Brownie 1320 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,000 Speaker 2: had had one. He's got four catches on the year, 1321 01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 2: four less than one a game. 1322 01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, then I getting targeted that. I think that's the 1323 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:34,840 Speaker 1: biggest bone of contention he's got. 1324 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 2: He's got four targets and are four catches. I don't 1325 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,880 Speaker 2: know have your targets. I have to go back and check. 1326 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:44,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that's it's good. It's a valid 1327 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:45,200 Speaker 2: question by Judy. 1328 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,760 Speaker 1: Back to the phones and to Jay on a seal, 1329 01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 1: what do you got for us? Jay? 1330 01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 18: Hey, guys, first time callers, thank you so much. 1331 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,240 Speaker 1: Thanks for doing Yeah. 1332 01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 18: Uh, you know, I guess it's sort of piggybacking off 1333 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 18: of this. You know, it seems like Josh's natural instinct 1334 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 18: when he's under pressure is just look down the field, 1335 01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,400 Speaker 18: you know, end zone or thirty plus and you know, 1336 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 18: and I know Jeremy said, when he looks at the tapes, 1337 01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,599 Speaker 18: you know a lot of guys are covered very tight. 1338 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 18: He doesn't have a lot of opportunities. But you know, 1339 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 18: if I just use one example, James Cook gets through 1340 01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 18: the line last week as Josh is getting pursued. He 1341 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 18: swings around left and he's wide open in the middle 1342 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 18: with no coverage whatsoever. And Josh goes all the way 1343 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 18: to the end zone again. And it's like this guy 1344 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 18: when he's got somebody on his tail, it's like his 1345 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 18: eyes just don't see inside those first ten yards anymore. 1346 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 1: Or yeah, ever did well. Sometimes when a guy's on 1347 01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: your tail or in your face, it is difficult to 1348 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 1: see the underneath stuff because that guy is literally blocking 1349 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:46,519 Speaker 1: out that frame of vision. So I understand sometimes why 1350 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,559 Speaker 1: he would choose to look further downfield it's easier to see, 1351 01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:54,280 Speaker 1: so that that can be part of it. And it's 1352 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,960 Speaker 1: hard for us to discern what Josh what parts of 1353 01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 1: the field Josh Cannon cannot see when there's a player 1354 01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 1: in his face rushing at him. But I get what 1355 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,440 Speaker 1: you're saying. And when Josh was playing his highest efficiency 1356 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 1: football in weeks two through four, he was checking it 1357 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 1: down effectively to Kincaid, to James Cook. 1358 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 2: Think about James Cook the play down the sideline in 1359 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 2: Miami where Josh is running out. He just kind of 1360 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 2: dinks it over the top. Forty nine yards later, James 1361 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,320 Speaker 2: Coast getting run out of bounds inside the ten. So 1362 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 2: it's it has happened, and we've seen flashes of it. 1363 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 2: When you see a lot of it, you know they're 1364 01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 2: hanging thirty seven, thirty eight, forty eight points on teams 1365 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 2: when you don't, they're hanging fourteen and twenty. Yeah, it's 1366 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:38,679 Speaker 2: pretty simple math. 1367 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,479 Speaker 1: Let's go to Patrick in Webster next. What do you 1368 01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 1: got first? Patrick? 1369 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 19: Thank Steve Brownie, thanks to talk to you. Piggybacking off 1370 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,360 Speaker 19: what you were talking about the offense. Actually, I think 1371 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 19: part of it has to do with Dorsey's play calling. 1372 01:10:56,040 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 19: And I know Josh is he's overlooked people, but I 1373 01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:04,479 Speaker 19: mean this last game against the Giants, he targeted Digs 1374 01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 19: was like sixteen fifteen sixteen times. 1375 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:09,599 Speaker 2: Well that was twelve of eighteen in the first half. 1376 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:14,000 Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, and it's like he had eighty seven yards 1377 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 19: passing in the first half. You can't keep throwing to 1378 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,880 Speaker 19: Digs all the time. And you know, I don't think 1379 01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 19: James Cook didn't even get a pass throw on to him. 1380 01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Right, But that's not a Dorsey issue, is it. That's 1381 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,400 Speaker 1: a Josh decision making issue. 1382 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,640 Speaker 19: Partially. But if you look at most of the plays, 1383 01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:35,479 Speaker 19: it's always it always tends to be. Diggs is always 1384 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 19: obviously the first receiver. But and how many times was 1385 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:43,240 Speaker 19: Josh behind center in this game? Not very much. I 1386 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 19: think he's the way the last few games with I 1387 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,919 Speaker 19: think he's the more efficient quarterback and a more efficient 1388 01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 19: offense when he's behind center, and it gets the defense, 1389 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:57,400 Speaker 19: you know, a little bit more to worry about. 1390 01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,880 Speaker 1: The numbers do bear out that they are a more 1391 01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:06,080 Speaker 1: efficient passing offense in twelve personnel than eleven, or at 1392 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,719 Speaker 1: least they're more productive, I should say, throwing the football. 1393 01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,639 Speaker 1: Throwing the football, not running the football. Throwing it, they're better. 1394 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 1: They're better running the football out of eleven, at least 1395 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,760 Speaker 1: through the first six games. So take that for what 1396 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 1: it's worth. But Patrick, you're right, Diggs is going to 1397 01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 1: be the first read in almost every passing concept they 1398 01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,720 Speaker 1: have for good reason. Yeah, he's the best guy on 1399 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,040 Speaker 1: the roster and top five receiver in the league. 1400 01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,559 Speaker 2: And I and I get it too, quite frankly, Josh 1401 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,920 Speaker 2: has thrown it to Digs sometimes when he shouldn't, and Dig, Yes, 1402 01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,680 Speaker 2: Diggs makes plays Digs. 1403 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,760 Speaker 1: But again, that's not that's not a coordinator. 1404 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 2: That's not a that's not a Ken Dorsey issue. There's 1405 01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,960 Speaker 2: and and you're not. I'm not talking about taking instead 1406 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:53,320 Speaker 2: of targeting Digs twelve times out of eighteen, targeting three times. 1407 01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just what you're talking about here, is 1408 01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,439 Speaker 2: on the six other targets, or even on the other 1409 01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:00,160 Speaker 2: or even on one of some of the targets, you 1410 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,639 Speaker 2: throw to Digs that are incomplete, don't throw to Digs. 1411 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,400 Speaker 2: Then throw to one of the secondary receivers, and it 1412 01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 2: only takes And we all have seen this. You can 1413 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 2: watch a thousand games, and every single one of those 1414 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,479 Speaker 2: thousand games, because all these games are, you know, within 1415 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,479 Speaker 2: one score of each other, they'll all come down to 1416 01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:22,040 Speaker 2: three different plays during the game. That's all you're talking about. 1417 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,559 Speaker 2: If one time Josh would find Khalisha Kir instead of 1418 01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,519 Speaker 2: trying to force the ball to Digs, or if he'd 1419 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,599 Speaker 2: take the easy throw to the flat or to the 1420 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:34,080 Speaker 2: to the circle route rather than trying to hit one 1421 01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:38,720 Speaker 2: down the seam, or if he'd take another if he'd 1422 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,680 Speaker 2: look off Digs when he tries to fit it in 1423 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 2: and the linebacker underneath slaps it away for an incompletion, 1424 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,960 Speaker 2: If you just take the easier throw, just one of 1425 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:52,200 Speaker 2: those things keeps a drive alive and changes the perception 1426 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,080 Speaker 2: of the defense about what you're gonna do on offense. 1427 01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,760 Speaker 2: That's all we're talking about. We're talking about less than 1428 01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:02,200 Speaker 2: a handful of plays every game. So don't think that 1429 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 2: somehow Ken Dorsey is not that it is some sort 1430 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,920 Speaker 2: of massive problem, or he has not listen. He's putting 1431 01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:14,240 Speaker 2: these guys and giving him plays to to execute, and 1432 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,599 Speaker 2: we Brown and I watched the film and Josh tells 1433 01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,760 Speaker 2: you this too. It just got to execute better. I mean, 1434 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,960 Speaker 2: they'll if it was a bad play call, they know it. 1435 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:28,240 Speaker 2: But there's not many of those going around. I'm telling you. 1436 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 2: You'd ask any player, even Thurman here, who was sitting 1437 01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,960 Speaker 2: here with his last segment. You go back to some 1438 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:35,400 Speaker 2: of the bad games we had. It's like, well, why 1439 01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,200 Speaker 2: didn't we Why didn't you just throw it here? Why 1440 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,680 Speaker 2: didn't I just I didn't see this, I didn't You know, 1441 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 2: players are the key to the game, more so than 1442 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 2: the coordinators. I'm telling you, certainly a coordinator is a 1443 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,960 Speaker 2: very complex job, and it's complicated, but those guys are 1444 01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:52,880 Speaker 2: there for a reason. They've got a handle on all this. 1445 01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 2: He can drop a plane in the dirt and it 1446 01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:57,760 Speaker 2: could work. 1447 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we 1448 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 1: come back, we'll have one von Miller at the post 1449 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 1: practice podium addressing the media.

And and I think 1470 01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,240 Speaker 4: it's coming from coach McDermott as well. You know, he believes, 1471 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 4: you know, the game starts and ends with the offense 1472 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,320 Speaker 4: and defense alone. So we've been highly motivated this season. 1473 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:21,760 Speaker 4: We're always motivated, but Horghy motivated the season to go 1474 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 4: in there and get the job done. 1475 01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:24,719 Speaker 2: That final drive. 1476 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 5: You've got a lot of snaps in a row. 1477 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,120 Speaker 9: That was really the first time you were ramped up, 1478 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:29,720 Speaker 9: Like how did how do you come away from that? 1479 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,800 Speaker 2: And and you know with your wind moving forward against. 1480 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,760 Speaker 4: It felt good to it felt good to be out 1481 01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 4: there like that, you know, first shaking down, third down, 1482 01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 4: they complete on third down, go back on first down. 1483 01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 6: It was my first time playing like that since Thanksgiving 1484 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:47,439 Speaker 6: the last year. 1485 01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 4: So it just, uh, it just uh, it just builds 1486 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,479 Speaker 4: up my confidence and you know, just continue to build 1487 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,080 Speaker 4: on that. The week before in London was just the baseline, 1488 01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,240 Speaker 4: and I thought last week, I continue to take steps 1489 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,720 Speaker 4: and eventually I start racking up the sacks, like like 1490 01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 4: I'm like I've been doing. 1491 01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 6: Still got the brace on. I have that on for 1492 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:07,679 Speaker 6: another two weeks after. 1493 01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 4: The Thursday night game, and then I can kind of 1494 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,400 Speaker 4: get a smaller brace after that and then hopefully by 1495 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 4: the end of the season. You know, started the playoffs, 1496 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 4: i'd be brace free. So just continue to take steps, 1497 01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:19,720 Speaker 4: and you know, I would love to just jump back 1498 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,439 Speaker 4: in there and be, you know, the player that I 1499 01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:25,000 Speaker 4: was last last November, but you know, in reality, it 1500 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:26,720 Speaker 4: just takes time to build. 1501 01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,240 Speaker 6: Up to that type of that type of position on 1502 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:30,000 Speaker 6: the football field. 1503 01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:32,559 Speaker 8: Thing said, are you happy with the progress you're making 1504 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:33,679 Speaker 8: in your difficulty? 1505 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:38,839 Speaker 4: I am totally happy. I always say process over outcome. 1506 01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 4: You know, I would love to go out there and 1507 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:43,160 Speaker 4: get three sacks a game, and in the game, I 1508 01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,280 Speaker 4: like I usually like I usually do, but it's process 1509 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,040 Speaker 4: over outcome, and I come in each and every day 1510 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,040 Speaker 4: and you know, stay in a moment, I stay where 1511 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:51,519 Speaker 4: my feet are and just try to get the most 1512 01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,160 Speaker 4: out of each and every rep in each and every 1513 01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,759 Speaker 4: opportunity that I do that I get. And I feel 1514 01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:58,679 Speaker 4: like that's what I've been doing my whole entire career. 1515 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,000 Speaker 4: And I feel like that's that's the type of process 1516 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:02,280 Speaker 4: to to get me where I want to be at 1517 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:02,680 Speaker 4: the end of ce. 1518 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 14: What to prepare for this version of the Patriots team 1519 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,519 Speaker 14: that you know, so long they were so successful now 1520 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,240 Speaker 14: struggling quite a bit. A lot of noise about Bill 1521 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,360 Speaker 14: and Mac Jones. What's it like preparing for this version. 1522 01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it looks like it looks like the Patriots 1523 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,919 Speaker 4: of of the golden days. You know, the same plays, 1524 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,560 Speaker 4: obviously different players and in different positions. 1525 01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,679 Speaker 6: You know, I was watching them play. 1526 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 4: Earlier and I was like, man, it's the same play 1527 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:29,880 Speaker 4: that Tom Brady and Gronkowski used to eat off of, 1528 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,719 Speaker 4: the little play action jump over. 1529 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:32,680 Speaker 6: The top the Gronkowski. 1530 01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,760 Speaker 4: It's just it's just a little different with you know, 1531 01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:39,200 Speaker 4: Mac Jones and Gisekee. It's uh, you know, Tom Brady 1532 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,120 Speaker 4: and and and and Gronkowski, Like there are two Hall 1533 01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,240 Speaker 4: of Fame, Hall of Fame players, and you know Mac 1534 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 4: Jones and and uh Gosecu. They're still they're still building 1535 01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 4: up and they still have the talent to. 1536 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,160 Speaker 6: Be able to do that. But it's still it still 1537 01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,040 Speaker 6: looks like the same Patriots team. To me. It still 1538 01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 6: looks like. 1539 01:18:56,479 --> 01:19:00,840 Speaker 4: The same fundamentals, the same techniques. You can see the 1540 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,680 Speaker 4: greatness there. It just hasn't come to fruition yet. And 1541 01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 4: I think part of that reason is because in a 1542 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 4: lot of games that they play the season, it's been 1543 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:12,799 Speaker 4: over early, like they've been reeling early. 1544 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,639 Speaker 6: And I think, you know, that's been one of the problems. 1545 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,360 Speaker 4: They had turnovers early in the game, which kind of 1546 01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,640 Speaker 4: took him out of the rhythm. If you look at 1547 01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,880 Speaker 4: the golden days back with Tom Brady and all those 1548 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,360 Speaker 4: guys like Tom Brady would keep them in the game, 1549 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 4: try not to turn them all over. And that's where 1550 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 4: any that's what any team out there, if you turn 1551 01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,080 Speaker 4: them all over early in the game, and you know, 1552 01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:32,720 Speaker 4: the other team gets up a couple of scores, it's 1553 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,080 Speaker 4: hard to get back, and you know, it's hard to 1554 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:38,320 Speaker 4: get back in rhythm. So we just hopefully we can 1555 01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:40,840 Speaker 4: do something, try to repeat, you know, some of the 1556 01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:44,400 Speaker 4: same successes that that teams had, you know against them 1557 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:48,920 Speaker 4: this year. But to me, it still looks like the 1558 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 4: golden Patriots had are golden. They same play, same techniques. 1559 01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 4: Obviously the players a little bit. The players are different 1560 01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,519 Speaker 4: in different positions. But it looks like Bill has a 1561 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,080 Speaker 4: firm hand and it looks like the golden days of 1562 01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:02,960 Speaker 4: the Patriots for sure. 1563 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 9: That as an elite defensive player, what is your overall 1564 01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,759 Speaker 9: take on build an elite defensive coach and Bill Belichick 1565 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:13,800 Speaker 9: and his body of work through the years and what 1566 01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,760 Speaker 9: he continues to do and maybe how he if he's 1567 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:17,639 Speaker 9: evolving or whatever. 1568 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:22,080 Speaker 4: You know, you know, I feel like he's still doing 1569 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,280 Speaker 4: a great job coaching the guys. You can see if 1570 01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:27,080 Speaker 4: they have the same intention and the same purpose out there. 1571 01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:29,200 Speaker 4: You can just tell that Bill is doing a great job. 1572 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,559 Speaker 4: Their whole coaching staff is doing a great job. But 1573 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,160 Speaker 4: turnovers early in the game, that throws the whole game 1574 01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,439 Speaker 4: plan out the window, especially if it's early in the game. 1575 01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:38,680 Speaker 4: Turnovers at any point in the game kind of kind 1576 01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,960 Speaker 4: of de real, you know, the scheme and what you 1577 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,679 Speaker 4: really want to do. But and the games that they've 1578 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:45,920 Speaker 4: played has just been turnovers early in the game that. 1579 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:47,040 Speaker 6: Is that has really killed them. 1580 01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,439 Speaker 4: And you know, hopefully we can you know, repeat some 1581 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 4: of that success and you know try to you know, 1582 01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 4: keep that going. 1583 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 8: But Jack, what do you face the Patriots a lot? 1584 01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,639 Speaker 8: What do you expect from a Belichick coach? 1585 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:04,639 Speaker 4: I expect obviously some of the things that we've struggled 1586 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 4: with this season. I expect them to try to insert 1587 01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,840 Speaker 4: that in the game plan somehow, Like that's what that's 1588 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:13,880 Speaker 4: what great coaches do. 1589 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,160 Speaker 6: You watch the team and that's what great players do. 1590 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:19,000 Speaker 6: You watch. If I see offensive Alon and he's beginning 1591 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:19,559 Speaker 6: beat with the spin. 1592 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:21,920 Speaker 4: I don't want to put the spin in my game 1593 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,840 Speaker 4: to try to, you know, have that some of that 1594 01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 4: success work for me. And it goes the same for coaching, 1595 01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,360 Speaker 4: like if if you if you're coaching up against it, 1596 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:29,800 Speaker 4: if you if you're going against the team and they 1597 01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 4: struggled with certain things like I wanna you know, I 1598 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,559 Speaker 4: don't want to put that in my in my game plan, 1599 01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,599 Speaker 4: even if it wasn't there before. But to me and 1600 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:40,599 Speaker 4: in my eyes, it looks like the same plays that 1601 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:41,800 Speaker 4: that took them to the super Bowl. 1602 01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 6: It looks like the same scheme, same system they took 1603 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:44,920 Speaker 6: them to the super Bowl. 1604 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 4: It's just, you know, the execution hasn't been there for 1605 01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 4: them this far in the season. But they look very 1606 01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 4: very well coached. They look like the players are open, 1607 01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:58,720 Speaker 4: the players that they're for them to get done. It's 1608 01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:00,679 Speaker 4: just for some reason, they just been turning the ball 1609 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 4: over early in the game. 1610 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,759 Speaker 20: On that note of turnovers, when you're going up against 1611 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:05,360 Speaker 20: an offense that has to choose the ball over to you, 1612 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:07,960 Speaker 20: guys as a defense, maybe focus more on practice on. 1613 01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 8: Punching the ball out, having the nose for the ball. 1614 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,280 Speaker 20: Knowing that especially with the offensive struggles in the past 1615 01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 20: couple weeks, since yours can make like eachier for them. 1616 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,320 Speaker 4: Man's that's that's every week, no matter who we're playing, 1617 01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 4: like you want to you want to create turnovers early 1618 01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 4: in the game. And this is my thirteenth year in 1619 01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,840 Speaker 4: the league, like I see it each and every year, 1620 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:30,559 Speaker 4: all thirteen years of my career, Like you have to 1621 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,000 Speaker 4: play each and every game, each and every player individually 1622 01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,559 Speaker 4: for high ever it comes like just because of a 1623 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:38,680 Speaker 4: team has been struggling before they play you, doesn't mean 1624 01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:40,639 Speaker 4: they're going to struggle when they play you. I think 1625 01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,120 Speaker 4: that was the game that we just played, the game 1626 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 4: that we just played with the Giants. You know, they 1627 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,160 Speaker 4: played us all the way up into the last last 1628 01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,799 Speaker 4: play of the game, and in earlier games of the season, 1629 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 4: like they struggle with teams. So you have to take 1630 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 4: each and every game and each and every moment as 1631 01:22:56,120 --> 01:23:00,479 Speaker 4: it comes, like I can't you can't really anticipate playing 1632 01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:04,240 Speaker 4: like they've played before. I anticipate them coming out full 1633 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 4: head of steam, running the running the same plays that 1634 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 4: have killed defenses for years. And you know, it's all 1635 01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:16,719 Speaker 4: grown men in this league, and all grown men respond, 1636 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,719 Speaker 4: and nobody likes to lose, and you know, I expect 1637 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,240 Speaker 4: them to come out like ready to play, especially there 1638 01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,840 Speaker 4: and in Foxborough. I haven't been there in years. I 1639 01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:29,839 Speaker 4: think the last time I played there was in twenty fourteen, 1640 01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 4: and that's one of my favorite players to play. So 1641 01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:35,120 Speaker 4: much history, so much history there, going against Tom Brady 1642 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 4: and all the great players. They had their Bill Belichick 1643 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 4: with super cold night games that I played in, like 1644 01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 4: I expected to be a tough environment. I expect them 1645 01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:47,240 Speaker 4: to be well coached and well coached and you know, 1646 01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 4: trying not to turn the ball over. I expect them 1647 01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:52,320 Speaker 4: to come out and play like the Patriots have always played. 1648 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:55,639 Speaker 8: How close you and Josh are since you got here. 1649 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 14: Do you take a moment after that game and say, hey, 1650 01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 14: maybe don't go and try to take on a linebacker in. 1651 01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:03,080 Speaker 8: The end zone? 1652 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:04,759 Speaker 6: No, No, I saw that. 1653 01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 1: That was great. 1654 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:07,240 Speaker 5: That was great. 1655 01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,400 Speaker 4: Melee melee man and just came in there and threw 1656 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:12,760 Speaker 4: his shoulder man like, man, that's what you want to see. 1657 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:13,800 Speaker 6: That's why I came here. 1658 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 4: I came here because you know, a huge part of 1659 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,160 Speaker 4: it was Josh Allen Man. And you know, I love Josh. 1660 01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:23,160 Speaker 4: I love his mentality, and you know, you just you can't. Really, 1661 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:24,240 Speaker 4: you can't try to. 1662 01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 6: Tame him Mustang. 1663 01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,200 Speaker 4: You know, you just gotta you gotta let him be 1664 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,200 Speaker 4: You gotta let him be wild and let him be. 1665 01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,519 Speaker 6: Him like you can't try to tame him and try 1666 01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 6: to change them. 1667 01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:34,600 Speaker 4: Like he evolved into a Hall of Fame quarterback and 1668 01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:36,840 Speaker 4: do time like you could just see it. He just 1669 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,880 Speaker 4: has the moxie and the personality and all the all 1670 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,080 Speaker 4: the roots to be a great quarterback. You know, he'll 1671 01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,439 Speaker 4: he'll continue to find his way. And you know, I 1672 01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,160 Speaker 4: just try to be there and I just try to 1673 01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:47,760 Speaker 4: support him. 1674 01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,519 Speaker 6: You know, I don't. 1675 01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,120 Speaker 4: I don't try to, you know, say hey don't do this, 1676 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 4: or hey do this. 1677 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,200 Speaker 6: I just try to support him.

What good? 1690 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,240 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think anybody on our team. 1691 01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 4: Was surprised or satisfied with that. I think those are 1692 01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 4: so many things that we practiced all the time. End 1693 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 4: of the game, end of the half six scenarios, and 1694 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 4: we practiced that, and I think all teams practiced that, so, 1695 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 4: you know, to be able to come on on top 1696 01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,679 Speaker 4: of those situations, you know, that's it just feels good 1697 01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:43,880 Speaker 4: to do your job. It feels good to see my 1698 01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:46,439 Speaker 4: team and the players on this team do their job, 1699 01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 4: and you know, it feels good to know that we 1700 01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:51,280 Speaker 4: have the grit to go down to the end and 1701 01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:54,400 Speaker 4: still win those games.

Anthony says, 1758 01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 1: need more motion, need more distribution to others, Sherfield, Hardy 1759 01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,519 Speaker 1: and others. Even five to seven yards per play means 1760 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:43,200 Speaker 1: controlling the clock. Clark says, I'd like to see James 1761 01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 1: Cook get more targets in the passing game. I think 1762 01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,879 Speaker 1: it could be very effective in space out in the flats. 1763 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,920 Speaker 1: I agree one hundred and fifty percent. And then FUCA 1764 01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:55,679 Speaker 1: Junior says Knox and Kincaid. Knox has had a few 1765 01:28:55,800 --> 01:29:00,759 Speaker 1: missed opportunities and Kincaid needs more opportunities. Then finally, DJ 1766 01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,080 Speaker 1: Steve says, we got to spread the ball around and 1767 01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 1: truly establish the run game. We have all the talent, 1768 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,519 Speaker 1: but our play calling is soft at times. That's from DJ. 1769 01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with that, but there 1770 01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:16,000 Speaker 1: it is, the tight endsfield everything. 1771 01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:18,200 Speaker 2: You can drop a play in the dirt if you've 1772 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:22,320 Speaker 2: got the right players, it don't matter. But they're far 1773 01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 2: from doing that.
