00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Down at a Steve Caster, who has been all over

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: the field unique. He was kind of a dual role

00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4

Speaker 1: through there and get him the snap. Here comes the rush.

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,680

37

Speaker 1: for Digs deep down to his sideline. Digs goes up

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: and makes the cat and he goes down at the

43
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: twenty yard line. Step on Digs one up and got it.

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: He just got it. Gosh gives it, bouncing off traffic

45
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: and dropping into the end zone for the touchdown. Touchdown,

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Zach Boss scores again. Touchdown, Bill Man, That is

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: your game. Rewind. Brought to you by Toshiba, the official

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: copier company of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome to one Bills

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Live here on a football Monday, and boy is the

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: mood a lot different than it was a week ago

51
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: at this time a thirty five nothing whitewash of the Dolphins.

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: Buy the Bills and Maddie Glab joining me today and Maddie,

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. This went one way real fast and

54
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: it never turned in the opposite direction at any point.

55
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: This was wire to wire domination. Kudos to the Bill's

56
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: defense for setting the tone drive after drive after drive,

57
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: negating the Miami Dolphins from getting close to the end zone,

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: getting close to the red zone with their fourth down stops,

59
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: with limiting Miami to going over three in the red zone.

60
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this was everything a fan wanted to see

61
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: from this defense to start the season, especially from the front,

62
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: the pressure they got on the defensive line from aj

63
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Epanessa to Greg Rousseau. This was a dominant performance and

64
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: gives me a lot of hope and excitement for what

65
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: this group can do down the road. Yeah, and you know,

66
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: credit to Leslie Fraser and his defensive staff for the

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: game plan they put together. They came out with a

68
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: very aggressive approach. You know, they blitzed tarn Johnson right

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: off the nickel on the first play of the game,

70
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: and then on third down their blitz and hide in

71
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: a safety blitz off the edge and already toa is

72
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, twitching because he's got no time back there.

73
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: And I think it kind of set the tone to

74
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: put pressure on Miami's passing game. And obviously on the

75
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: second possession, two was knocked out of the game by

76
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: AJ and then the whole game is gone sideways for

77
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: Miami's offense. So it was just it was a trudge

78
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: from there for Miami's offense. And really, you know, we

79
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: heard Jordan Poyer and Mike Hi talking about it in

80
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: the post game. You know, their pass rush was relentless.

81
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: The guys on the back end covered up enough where

82
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: the guys could get home. But really there were a

83
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: lot of one on one battles that were one up front,

84
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: and you know, I know you mentioned a handful of

85
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: them already, Maddie, But that offensive line for Miami's got

86
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. They also lost one

87
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: of the guys that they believe is one of their

88
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: most consistent players in Jesse Davis, the right tackle. He

89
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: went out with a knee injury in the first half,

90
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: and that just made the situation all the worse. Yeah,

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: and I think we knew coming into this game, Brownie,

92
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: you and I mentioned it in the pregame. Shows is

93
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: just how two us struggles under pressure. Last year, his

94
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: numbers under pressure were not good. They ranked towards the

95
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: bottom of the league according to next gens stats. He

96
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: only completed forty percent of his passes under pressure through

97
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: three interceptions, no touchdowns, had a thirty five passer rating.

98
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: So I think when you looked into some of that,

99
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: the writing was on the walls as to how the

100
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: Bill's defense was going to play in this game, and

101
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: it was really no difference. Once Jacoby Brissette came in,

102
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: they still pressure Jacoby, forced him into making plays, and

103
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: like you said, the back end of the defense was

104
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: able to cover up enough to where there were really

105
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: no options on several different plays from the rushing side

106
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: of things to the passing side of things. The offense,

107
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: in terms of Miami's offense, couldn't ever really get going.

108
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: So really proud of what they were able to do

109
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: and the battle that the defensive line one up front.

110
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: This is something that we've been waiting for, and we

111
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: got a little bit of a taste in it, I

112
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: think in Week one, but week two, this is what

113
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: we all wanted to see from the Bill's defensive line.

114
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: This is the year after year of Brandon Bean and

115
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott investing top stock into their defensive line in

116
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: terms of first round, second round, third round picks. So

117
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: hopefully this is the start of what this defensive line

118
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: will look like going forward. Yeah, and pretty healthy rotation.

119
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: I tweeted it out earlier, just the playtime percentages for

120
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: the eight defensive line that we're up for this game yesterday,

121
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: and it's pretty even across the board. Greg Russo got

122
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: the most playing time in the entire group, and he

123
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: had a game, and we can get into that as well,

124
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: but it's pretty balanced from there on down anywhere between

125
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: forty two to forty nine percent of the snaps, they

126
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: rotated those guys through liberally, which I think was very

127
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: important on a day where the temperature on the field

128
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: was about one hundred degrees with eighty percent humidity. It

129
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: kept those guys fresh. They were still coming in the

130
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Granted, the score on the board kind of

131
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: helped them know all the more that there's going to

132
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of passing going on as Miami tries

133
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: to climb back into the game. And when a games

134
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: that lopsided on the scoreboard, you know pass is coming,

135
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: so you can really pin your ears back. But at

136
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the same time, I thought it was instrumental in enabling

137
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: the Bill's pass rush to have their foot on the

138
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: gas from start to finish. They really never let Miami

139
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: up off the mat at any point in time. But

140
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: I want to get into one thing that you mentioned,

141
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Maddie at the very top. You were talking about how

142
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: the defense from start to finish really kind of stymied

143
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: everything that Miami tried to come up with to have

144
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: answers on the offensive side of the ball. I think

145
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: even more important than that was the way that they

146
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: played when Buffalo's offense got a little sloppy, got a

147
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: little inconsistent. And I'm gonna run down what I'm talking

148
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: about here. Starting with Buffalo's third possession, they turn the

149
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: ball over on a fumble by Zach Moss. Next possession,

150
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: defense gets an interception from Levi Wallace. They get the

151
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: ball back for the offense. Fourth possession, the offense goes nowhere.

152
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Three and out. They punt the ball after gaining one yard,

153
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: and then the defense gets a fumble on a takeaway.

154
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Fifth possession builds. Offense gets the ball back, they throw

155
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: an interception. Defense on the ensuing possession forces a turnover

156
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: on downs on a fourth down stop. Sixth possession by

157
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the offense. They got the ball back again, three and out.

158
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: They gained nine yards. They have to punt the ball.

159
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: Defense goes back on the field. They force a punt.

160
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: Seventh possession by the offense. They have to punt after

161
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: four plays, gain only one yard. You know, when the

162
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: defense kind of holds again. Offense gets the ball back.

163
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: They miss a field goal at halftime, but you think

164
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: about that, Maddie. You're talking about a span of six

165
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,359
Speaker 1: possessions where the offense did zero and committed two turnovers,

166
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,119
Speaker 1: and for Buffalo's defense to keep them completely off the scoreboard,

167
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: let alone let them deep into their territory. I mean,

168
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: hats off to them for that stretch there through the

169
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: second half of the first quarter, in the second quarter,

170
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: and you think about that, what was it the first

171
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: or second scoring possession. The first scoring possession that the

172
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offense had that drive was what like twelve seconds. Yeah,

173
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: so the defense was on the field for a long

174
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: amount of time in that first half. At the end

175
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: of the game, it nets out as Miami holds the

176
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: ball longer than Buffalo does by about three minutes. Not

177
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: much of a difference, but yeah, when you talk about

178
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: the heat, that is a big difference. Our defense was

179
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: on the field for longer than our offense was, and thankfully,

180
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: like you said, they had that rotation. But there was

181
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: a time in the first half, maybe in the second quarter,

182
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: where I was going, oh my gosh, our defense looks gassed.

183
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: This could get bad. But they were able to put

184
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: the pressure on, keep it on, keep going. They didn't

185
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: look like they were getting tired. Mario Addison put on

186
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: his Instagram story after the game, that was the hottest

187
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: game I have ever played in in my life, coming

188
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: from a VET who's spent double digit years in the NFL.

189
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: So to see them be maybe that gassed mentally and physically,

190
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: but not show it on the field, I think also

191
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: deserves kudos to that side of the group for getting

192
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: the job done possession after possession or offensive drive in

193
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: terms of Miami that they didn't do just holding them

194
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: out of the end zone, out of field goal range,

195
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: even when the offense didn't answer once the defense gave

196
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: the ball back to them so many times. Yeah, And

197
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: I just looked it up because after you mentioned that,

198
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, what was the breakdown? First half?

199
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Defense was on the field for more than eighteen of

200
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: the first thirty minutes, and I think it did contribute

201
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: somewhat manny to why you saw Tremaine Edmonds leave the

202
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: game with cramps. There was another player I think that

203
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: left the game with Crampson came back that My memory

204
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: escapes me on that one, but I think it was

205
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace came out for a second. Yeah, and then

206
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: he got hurt and didn't come back, and Dane Jackson

207
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: had to play the rest of the game, and Tremaine Edmonds,

208
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: as we said, he went out with terrible cramping and

209
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: didn't return to the game. So yeah, I mean it

210
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: did play a role being on the field as long

211
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: as they were, because it accelerates, you know, the amount

212
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: of you know, getting sapped your strength, your fluids, whatever,

213
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: and some guys could not finish the game because of

214
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: how intense the heat and humidity was. I found this interesting, Mandie.

215
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: This is obviously was a shutout win, and so immediately

216
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: people start going back and looking for shutout victories and

217
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. But I just liked that it

218
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: was the first shutout win since twenty sixteen when the

219
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: Bills went up to New England and won sixteen to nothing,

220
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: and the starting quarterback was Jacoby Brissette because he was

221
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: he started in place of a deflate gate suspended Tom

222
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: Brady and Jacoby Brissette, who was a rookie that year,

223
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: had to start the game because one of their other

224
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks was injured. Who started in place of Brady on

225
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: suspension the week prior, and I'm not gonna remember who

226
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: that was. But I know Jacoby Brissette. It was the

227
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: thirst quarterback had to start that game as a rookie,

228
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: and that was also a shutout. So I think the

229
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: last two appearances. I have to see if he appeared

230
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: in that Indianapolis snow game. Because Prissette was with the

231
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: Colts during the Indianapolis Snow Game. I can't remember if

232
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: he played in that game, but his last two games

233
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: that he played the majority of against the Bills both shutouts.

234
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Not something to hang your hat on by any means.

235
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: And as we know, the thirty five point margin of

236
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: victory tied for the fifth largest in team history and

237
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: the fourth largest in a shutout. Their best shutout win

238
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: forty two to nothing at Cleveland back in nineteen ninety,

239
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: so that's the best shutout win on record for the Bills.

240
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: The thirty five point margin was the best margin of

241
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: victory since the Snow Game that moved the s November

242
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: game that got moved to Detroit when they beat the

243
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: Jets thirty eight to three. So some interesting history popped

244
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: up with this win for Shoe the latest on Ta Maddie.

245
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but some of

246
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: the national reporters were tweeting this out. The x rays

247
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: came back negative, so he has no broken ribs, and

248
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: they say the injury is not considered terribly serious. All

249
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to say is I know from experience that

250
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: rib injuries are not fun. His aren't broken. That's good

251
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: for him, But you have to wonder because they're only

252
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: reporting on x rays. I gotta believe they're gonna do

253
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: some MRIs here to see because they're calling it bruised

254
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: ribs right now. But what if he's got like torn

255
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: rib cartilage or something. I mean, that can last a

256
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: while too. I mean, he did not look good coming

257
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: off the field yesterday. No, he struggled to get up

258
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: after that hard hit that aj Epanessa put on him.

259
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, from what I've heard about rib injuries, whether

260
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: it's broken ribs or bruised ribs, they're about the same

261
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: in terms of a pain level that you're going to get.

262
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: And that's tough to do. I mean, your ribs are

263
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: a part of your lower body, your abs. You're using

264
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: all of that when you're throwing the football, when you're

265
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: playing the game. So it'll be interesting to see what

266
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: these other tests, these MRIs provide on two and to

267
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: see how many weeks he's gonna miss or if he's

268
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: just gonna miss a couple weeks. Um, but aj EPINESSA

269
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: what a game next gen stats uh said that he

270
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: had nine quarterback pressures yesterday. It's tied for the most

271
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: in a game this season. This is the jump that

272
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: everybody wanted to see for aj Epanessa in his what

273
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: is it now third season as as a Buffalo bill.

274
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: So this is something that we were waiting for and

275
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: something that we kind of sawm in training camp. A

276
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Japaness to taking that step forward. Leslie Frazier, some of

277
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: the older defensive players on this team giving him praise,

278
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: saying that he was doing great things in camp. His

279
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: body is where it needs to be, and you're thinking, Okay,

280
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: what is this gonna look like when when it counts,

281
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: when week one happens, Week two happens, nine quarterback pressures?

282
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: Has a hard hit on Tua way to go ride

283
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: out of the gate. In the season, yeah, I mean

284
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: in the old school sack categories and quarterback hits, he

285
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of crooked numbers, but I would

286
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: say out of the whole lot, he was probably the

287
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: most disruptive in the entire game from start to finish.

288
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: A lot of his initial pressure kind of flushed the quarterbacks,

289
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: whether it was Ta or for the most of the

290
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: game Brissette, he kind of flushed them into other guys,

291
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: so other guys almost got sacks because of the initial

292
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: pressure that Epinessa created, whether he was looping around the

293
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: corner and forcing Brissette to step up in the pocket,

294
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: or whether he was completely flushing him out of the

295
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: pocket to the edge where somebody else was waiting. Epinessa

296
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: was very much the catalyst for Buffalo's pass rush of

297
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: Ltel bad for him. He had such a good move.

298
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean he was eating Austin Jackson for lunch when

299
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: he was coming off the right side yesterday, the left

300
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: tackle for the Dolphins. He had such a great move,

301
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: got in there so fast, and then he tried to

302
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: jump on top of Roussette and went clean over He

303
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: went clean over him. He looked like he was leaping

304
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: over a pommel horse and gymnastics or something. And he

305
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: doesn't end up with the initial sack, and then he

306
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: got back in the play. Russeau got credit for the sack,

307
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: even though he helped clean up at the end of

308
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: the play. So I just thought it was epins his

309
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: best game as a pro now in his second season.

310
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: So you know, I I'm encouraged by what we could

311
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: see going forward. And the thing that encourages me the

312
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: most as our MSG viewers are watching the play I

313
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: was talking about. So Russo got credit for that sack

314
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: for his second of the day, and Rousseau played great

315
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: too in his own right. But Mattie, you could run

316
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: down the list of pass rushers that played well. I mean,

317
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: I thought Justin Zimmer had a whale of a game,

318
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: A whale of a game. Yeah, there is a play

319
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: where I saw him running like twenty yards down the

320
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: field to make a tackle. This is a guy that's

321
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: sneaky fast. My set of a Japanessa was in his

322
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: third year, because he's playing like a third year player

323
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: in my terms. Of course, he's in his second season

324
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: as a Buffalo Bill, already making the type of impact

325
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: on that defensive line that we wanted him to make,

326
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: maybe in his rookie season, but now seeing it in

327
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: his second season. But yeah, Justin Zimmer a sneaky good

328
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: player on this defensive line. I think when all of

329
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: us were kind of doing the numbers in terms of, Okay,

330
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: who's going to make this roster? What is it going

331
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: to look like? This defensive line group is huge. Justin

332
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: Zimmer was a name that a lot of us had

333
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: in that group just because of his impact on the

334
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: team last season. Some people may call him one of

335
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: the forgotten defensive linemen, but Leslie Fraser and his teammates

336
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: know what type of player he is, and he's always

337
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: there to help out the other guys. What he can do.

338
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: What he did yesterday proves as a reason to why

339
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: he belongs in this group and on this team. Yeah,

340
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: and I thought it was very telling that on a

341
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: day where three defensive linemen were inactive, that was fa Obada,

342
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips and Boogie Basham, there's Zimmer And I don't

343
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: know if people would have considered him a top eight

344
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: in this group, but he was and he lived up

345
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: to it yesterday. The player talking about was a third

346
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: and fifteen. It was a wide receiver screen to Jalen

347
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: Waddle and he goes twenty yards across the field and

348
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: gets gets him from behind, stops him two yards short

349
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: of the first down marker, and you know what the

350
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: next play was fourth and two. Epiness Taga Voloa out

351
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: of the game. So you don't get that stop there.

352
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: Maybe you're not calling the play that they are on

353
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: fourth and two. You're probably running out on first and

354
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: ten and maybe two is still in the game. Yeah,

355
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: And this is a guy who said last year I

356
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: do not want to be or going into this season.

357
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: During training camp when we did interviews with several different players,

358
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: said I don't want to be remembered for that forced

359
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: fumble on Cam Newton in the in the first game

360
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: against the Patriots in the twenty twenty season. I want

361
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: to be remembered for more of that. And he's proving

362
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: that here to start the season. Dude shed his block

363
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: so quick and got to Jalen Waddle, a wonderful wide

364
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL who's probably gonna have a great career.

365
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: That play had had my eyebrows going up and get down, like,

366
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: what did he just do? Well? I mean that was

367
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: that was like almost as big as the Cam Newton

368
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: play last year. I mean, that's that's just relentless pursuit.

369
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean, when you got a two hundred and ninety

370
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: five pound man that can run that fast, and cover

371
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: ground like that, and he's playing in the heat like that.

372
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I'm just he's just something else.

373
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: I know why. It's easy to see why this coaching

374
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: staff loves guys like Justin Zimmer on this roster because

375
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: you know what you're gonna get on every single snap,

376
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: and there's just no quit um no matter what. Let's

377
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: flip it over, though, Maddie, to the offensive side of

378
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: the ball here, biggest takeaway for me, even though we

379
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: talked about some of the hiccups that they had and

380
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: some of the sloppy play, you know, in the first half,

381
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: in particular, the offensive balance here at the end of

382
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: the game, Maddie, thirty three pass attempts, thirty carries. That

383
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: might be as balanced as we've seen in over a

384
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: year from this offense. And I'm not here to say

385
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: that the identity should be the Bills run game. I

386
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: think what happened yesterday was the two main offseason priorities

387
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: for the Bills were improve the pass rush and run

388
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: the ball more effectively, not necessarily more, but more effectively.

389
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: I thought they checked both of those boxes in the

390
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: win yesterday. They finished with three rushing talent three rushing touchdowns,

391
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: two passing touchdowns. I know this is what you mentioned

392
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: before the game started, when we saw all of the

393
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: running backs were active, you were kind of like, this

394
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: could this could mean that we're going to rush the

395
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: ball more than we pass it, or that rushing is

396
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: going to be a factor in today's game. And we

397
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: saw that with Devin Singletary break off that forty plus

398
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: yard carry to start the game. After Josh Allen threw

399
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: an incomplete pass for the first offensive possession, then Devin

400
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: Singletary runs it right into the end zone. He finished

401
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: the day with eighty two yards. His yard per carry number,

402
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: if you take that big run out of it, wasn't incredible.

403
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: But also want to give a shout out to Zach Moss.

404
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he fumbles the football, which is what you

405
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: do not want to do. That takes you out of

406
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: a game basically, but the coaching staff put him back in.

407
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: He finished with two tough rushing touchdowns and also is

408
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: going through some stuff after the game. In his press conference,

409
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: he said that he attended his aunt's funeral. That's a

410
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: lot to carry into Sunday, a lot that was probably

411
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: on his mind. You know, you never ever know what

412
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: these guys are going through and then to be able

413
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: to perform on a big stage like that on Sunday,

414
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: I think says a lot about the type of person

415
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: he is and also the type of support that he

416
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: has on this team. Yeah, and I think what Moss

417
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: provides is a power running element to the Bills ground game,

418
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: and we saw that it was readily apparent on his

419
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: two touchdown runs. I mean, this is yards after contact here,

420
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: Maddie that our MSG viewers are watching. This is what

421
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: the Bills look for in running backs when they draft them.

422
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Two of the biggest, I should say, the biggest attractive

423
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: quality about both Devin Singletary and Zach Moss. Is there

424
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: a contact balance, their ability to stay on their feet

425
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: after initial contact and fight for additional yards. I think

426
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: Moss carries a little bit bigger punch behind his pads

427
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: than Devin Singletary does. And you saw that on display yesterday.

428
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: I mean that second I mean as good as his

429
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: first touchdown run was. I mean I tweeted it yes today.

430
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: That second one. That's a man's man touchdown there. I

431
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: mean that is just shoulder on shoulder with a linebacker

432
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: in the hole and lowman is going to win, and

433
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: he won that and got into the end zone. And

434
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: I think he showed his teammates something yesterday coming back

435
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: from the fumble as you mentioned, and delivering in the

436
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: fashion that he did. As far as I'm concerned, that

437
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: kind of clears your mind as a player, like, you

438
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: know what, I had this bad play, I came back

439
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: from it. I contributed to the victory. So hopefully it's

440
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: all good things going forward for him. Yeah, I love

441
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: that this coaching staff gave him an opportunity to kind

442
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: of clear out that fumble. Like you said, not every

443
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: coaching staff is going to say, hey, you fumbled the football,

444
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: but get back in there. We're going to trust you

445
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: to run the rock again and that second rushing touchdown.

446
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: Not every running back can do that. When you look

447
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: at our running backs on the roster, not every running

448
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: back that we have on this team can do that.

449
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: That's why Zach Moss is so important to have on

450
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: this team and to have active for certain games. He

451
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: does provide a little bit more power. Devin Singletary. Yeah,

452
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: he got a little bit bigger in the offseason, but

453
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: I still think Zach Moss is your guy who packs

454
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: the punch inside of him. You have Reggie Gilliam as well,

455
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: but Zach Moss is a proven running back. With Reggie Gilliam,

456
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: you may trust him in just certain situations when it

457
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: comes to short yardage situations and things like that. And

458
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: speaking a short yardage Bills were four for four in

459
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: goal to go situations, which I think demonstrates how much

460
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: they dominated the line of scrimmage yesterday, both on offense

461
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: and defense, maybe more so on defense, more consistently so

462
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: on defense. And then Mattie a week after going one

463
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: for four in the red zone, the Bills go four

464
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: for four in the red zone. And I'm going to

465
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: throw this one at you. This is a potential set

466
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: of the day. As far as I'm concerned. The Bills

467
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: in their last three and a half games against the

468
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins are twelve for twelve in the red zone. That

469
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: is insane because they went six for six in the

470
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: red zone in the two games last year, and obviously

471
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: we know they went four for four yesterdays. So I

472
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: went all the way back to the twenty nineteen second

473
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: meeting November nineteenth, twenty nine or November seventeenth, twenty nineteen,

474
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: and they scored touchdowns on their last two red zone possessions.

475
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: The first two of the game they only kicked field goals.

476
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: So you add those two with the last ten, twelve

477
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: for twelve in the red zone against the Dolphins. I

478
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: mean it's the Who's your Daddy game? Yeah, this this

479
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: Bill's team, this group, Sean McDermott, Josh Allen, they are

480
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: so good against the Dolphins. Sean McDermott is now eight

481
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: of nine in games that he's played against the Dolphins.

482
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is now six and one in games he's

483
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: played against the Dolphins. This is a team that the

484
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills know how to scheme up against and know

485
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: how to beat. And again I said this earlier after

486
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: the game and before the game started. The Dolphins have

487
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 1: a pretty good defense. Their corner mag Xavian Howard and

488
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: Byron Jones are not cornerbacks that you want to mess with.

489
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: They also have some pretty good guys up on that

490
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: defensive line as well. So the fact that we were

491
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: able to score thirty five points five total touchdowns, I

492
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: think says some promise, says some good things about our

493
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: offense as a whole. Yeah, maybe we didn't get into

494
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: the end zone on as many drives as we could

495
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: have with how the defense kind of handed the ball

496
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: back to the offense so many times. But I think

497
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: there are some positives that you can take away from

498
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: this game going into a game against the Washington football

499
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: team where we know it's gonna be tough going up

500
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: against their defensive line, just like it was in Week

501
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: one against the Steelers. Right and all first round picks

502
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: across the board on that defensive line for why Shington.

503
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, it will be a step up in competition

504
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: for the offensive line for sure. Want to get the

505
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: Twitter conversation underway here with you, whether it's at eight

506
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: o three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five

507
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty, what was the most encouraging part

508
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: of the Bills win over the Dolphins? Choices for you

509
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live on Twitter A the run game,

510
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: b the pass rush, see clutch defensive plays or something else.

511
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: Let us know at eight three five fifty phone lines

512
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: are open for you, as we'll be wide open for

513
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: almost the entire show today, full three hour program here

514
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: on a Bills Football Monday. So get on board either

515
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet at one Bills live or give

516
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: us a call eight O three oh five fifty. The

517
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: most encouraging part of the Bills win over the Dolphins

518
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: going forward. Leading the polling right now, Maddie is the

519
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: pass rush, and I totally understand why let's getting more

520
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: than half of the vote. But the clutch defensive plays,

521
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: I think are getting a respectable amount of the vote.

522
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: And we haven't talked about that yet, whether it's Levi

523
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: Wallace's interception, all of the four's down stops. I mean

524
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins stopped themselves on the last fourth down, which

525
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: was a drop pass, but the first three, I mean

526
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson with that stuff on the run play with

527
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: the guy coming right at I mean, it's a one

528
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: on one play, make the play, and he did. They

529
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: did a hell of a job, I gotta say in

530
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: the turnover on down's category, stopping that team on fourth down.

531
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Brian Floor has just kept going for it.

532
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'm not using my punter today, and

533
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, they just rose to the occasion

534
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: time after time on the defensive side of the ball. Yeah,

535
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: odds are I think when when you go for it

536
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: four times on a fourth down you're maybe gonna convert

537
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: at least one of those. That was not the case.

538
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Arn Johnson had another big fourth down stop.

539
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: I think the first one was a Japanes's big hit

540
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: on Tuam. Just to be able to do that, the

541
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: confidence it gives you your defense, the energy it gives

542
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: to your offense, and those fourth down stops also led

543
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: into the fact that the Dolphins were oh for three

544
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: in the red zone. That's a great stat as well

545
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: to take home and to take into Week three against

546
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. The way that the defense held

547
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: Miami out of any type of scoring opportunity. Tarn Johnson

548
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: had a heck of a game. Yeah, he did play

549
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: outstanding and he didn't have an easy task matching up

550
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: against Waddle, a real speed demon. Miami now ranked thirty

551
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: first in the league in scoring after the goose egg yesterday,

552
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: and if Green Bay can find a way to score

553
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: fifteen points tonight against Detroit, which I'm pretty optimistic about,

554
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: Miami by tomorrow will be the lowest scoring team in

555
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: football after two games played. Annie and I have to

556
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we come back, some

557
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: of your thoughts on the tweet sheet and your comments

558
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: at eight oh three fifty, what was the most encouraging

559
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: part of the Bills went over? The Dolphins choices are

560
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: there for you at one Bills Live on the Twitter poll,

561
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: But give us a call eight oh three, five fifty,

562
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: we'll get you right on one Bills Live presented by

563
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back in a moment,

564
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: all right, welcome back to one Bills Live here on

565
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: A Bill's Football Monday. Following a thirty five nothing whitewash

566
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins, kicking butt taking names yesterday pretty much

567
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: as it was a dominant performance, chiefly by the defense.

568
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: It's crazy, Maddie, because if you, if somebody told you

569
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: coming out of that Miami game, Josh Allen is going

570
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: to throw for one hundred and seventy nine yards and

571
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: complete fifty six percent of his passes, are you chalking

572
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: up A Bill's victory? No, I am not. Is the

573
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: way that this team works. Last year, it was kind

574
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: of the offense that led the path for this team,

575
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: and then the defense would come up in times when

576
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: they needed to. But the offense was the weapon of

577
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: this team last year, and yesterday it was the defense

578
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: who did it all and who provided that spark for

579
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: the offense? So you read me that stat line, I

580
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: do not think the Bills come away with the victory. Yeah,

581
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: And I will say, you know, we already mentioned some

582
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: of the hiccups that the offense had, and Josh was

583
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: very quick to point to himself again saying, you know,

584
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: there's some plays that I left out there. The thing

585
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: that I found interesting was there were a few instances

586
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: where Josh had an open receiver and he chose to

587
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: put touch on the ball instead of zipping it in there,

588
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: where if he just put it on a line, he

589
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: would have made a few more plays. There was even

590
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: one particular play along the second along the left side

591
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: line in the second half where he had Diggs who

592
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: won on a deep over route and he tried to

593
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: feather it into him and after the play because it

594
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: got broken up, it was almost intercepted by Xavier Howard

595
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: right along the sideline. You saw Diggs motioning and gesturing

596
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: to Josh, hey, put it on a line, just zip

597
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: it in there to me, I'll catch it. And so

598
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: while there were instances where he put great touch on

599
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, over the shoulder throw to Emmanuel Sanders,

600
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: the touchdown pass, the Dawson Knox. There were other instances

601
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: where I just felt like he didn't take advantage of

602
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: his own arm strength. Yeah, I noticed that as well.

603
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: There are a couple of balls that came out that

604
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: I was saying, this is not Josh Allen's ball. This

605
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: ball is a little bit more lofty and slower than

606
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: he would normally throw. So I wonder what the reasoning

607
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: behind doing that was. And yeah, if I had to

608
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: point one out, it was that ball that almost got

609
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: intercepted that you had already mentioned. It was kind of

610
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: weird and uncharacteristic for someone like Josh Allen who puts

611
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: a lot of speed on his ball, and the wide

612
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: receivers talk about, you know, my hands are sore after

613
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: practices because he puts so much on it. But we

614
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: like that because it makes it harder for defense to

615
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: intersept passes like that or get in the way and

616
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: get a pass breakup. One guy I think we have

617
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: failed to mention to this point that I did think

618
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: had a big impact on the game as well was

619
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: Matt Milano. They blitzed him early in the game in

620
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: the first half, and they would drop a defensive lineman

621
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: into coverage as a replacement kind of his own blitz

622
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And a lot of times when Milano

623
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: was rushing, they were actually dropping Rousseau into coverage and

624
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: it worked really well. And I gotta say, like, if

625
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: there's one area of Matt Milano's game that I think's

626
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: even better than it has been in the past, it's

627
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: his ability to bull rush. He was walking back some

628
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: interior offensive I'm in on a few plays yesterday, and

629
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: it forced the quarterback, whether it was too early or present. Later,

630
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: they had to vacate the pocket because he completely collapsed

631
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: it with his bull rush. And again he much like

632
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: aj Epinessa, He's not going to have a lot of

633
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: crooked numbers in the defensive statistics categories, but I thought

634
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: he had a major impact on the early stages of

635
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: the defensive effort yesterday. Yeah. I think just like tarn Johnson,

636
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: he played a lot bigger than he actually is yesterday,

637
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: getting in the interior, forcing a quarterback to make throws,

638
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: getting in the way. I mean, every single year he

639
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: steps up his game in a certain area and in

640
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: a certain way. I am so happy that he is

641
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: on this team this season. This is a player who

642
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: a lot of us thought last season when he became

643
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: a free agent, like there is no way the buff

644
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: Low Bills can afford a player like Matt Milana. Well,

645
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: he takes a pay cut to be able to be

646
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo Bills, and he is a huge part

647
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: of why the defense played the way it did yesterday.

648
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: Let's get to the tweet sheet. You can also call

649
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: at eight three five fifty one eighty eight fifty two,

650
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: five fifty open line for you there, what was the

651
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: most encouraging part of the Bills win over the Dolphins.

652
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: We have some choices for you on the twitter conversation,

653
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: but Tiffany leads us off on the tweet sheet, which

654
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: is always has brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

655
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and

656
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: she says the pass rushers were dominating all game. It

657
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: appears early on that the younger players maybe surpassing the vets.

658
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: Aj Epinessa was a dominant force all day. Now, as

659
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top, Maddie, the playing time was

660
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: relatively even across the board for all eight As a

661
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: matter of fact, that I think Star Latoula was the

662
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: defensive lineman who played the fewest number of snaps, and

663
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: that could be tied into the fact that he's coming

664
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: off a calf injury too. But if you look at

665
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: the edge rushers, I think you have to say Rousseau

666
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: and aj Epinessa were the most effective rushers coming off

667
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: the edge, more so than the vets, Addison and Hughes.

668
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: And that's what you want to see. I mean, at

669
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: some point there's gonna be a passing of the torch

670
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: or a passing of the baton for some of your

671
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: younger guys to step up. I mean, Jerry Hughes and

672
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: Mario Addison are in their older years of playing. They're

673
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: not getting any younger. They're not going to play in

674
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: the NFL for ten more years. You have guys like

675
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: aj Epinessa, Greg Russeau, some of these younger players who

676
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: have been in the league for a year, for two years,

677
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: and this is their time to take a step forward

678
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: and shine. Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison are there, and

679
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: Starlotulelee are there to help support these younger guys. In

680
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: a couple of years, this defensive line is gonna look

681
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: a lot different than how it looks right now, and

682
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: I think you're kind of seeing a trending in the

683
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: direction of this defensive line is becoming a lot younger,

684
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. Yeah, and that passing of

685
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: the torch might be happening sooner than maybe even we

686
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: all anticipated, because those two guys were really a menace

687
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: coming off the edges. Yesterday. I mentioned Milano, I totally

688
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: forgot the fact that he also had the fumble recovery

689
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,479
Speaker 1: at the five yard line. I mean, a red zone

690
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: takeaway that's gold. And yeah, I mean after Jachim Grant

691
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: coughed up the ball when he got spun around on

692
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: the tackle, Matt Milano was in the right place at

693
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: the right time. ELI on the tweet sheet says, the

694
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: pass rush is looking great. Three exclamation points. Grooden aj

695
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: Or wreaking Havoc Havoc Star pushing the line, Oliver and

696
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: Tremaine are making plays. I just love that the defense

697
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: is exciting to watch. And that's the other thing too, Maddie, Like,

698
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: we could talk about the pass rush all day here,

699
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: because they deserve some credit for what they did and

700
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: the impact they had on the game. But the guys

701
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: on the back end we're holding it down too. And

702
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: then even the linebackers were factoring in, you know, on

703
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: a lot of underneath stuff. So really front to back,

704
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: I mean, all three levels of this defense through the

705
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: first two weeks are looking pretty good here. I mean

706
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: even the run defense, which was suspect last year, is better. Yeah,

707
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: they allow under what one hundred rushing yards again in

708
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: this game? Let me check that stat really quick, but yeah,

709
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: a seventy one rushing yards they allow. That's two straight

710
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: games where they're under one hundred rushing yards. And you

711
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: face Naja Harris in week one Miles Gaskin in week two,

712
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: two running backs who can pop off in a game

713
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: and who can go for more than one hundred rushing

714
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: yards if they see the holes or if they're they're

715
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: tough enough to get through the defensive line of the

716
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: opposing team. I mean, Miles Gaskin finishes for five carries

717
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: for twenty five yards. So that's something that we also

718
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: wanted to see improve from last season to this season.

719
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: Is that rushing defense that you talked about. They kind

720
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: of figured it out towards the end of last season,

721
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: but there were some games where where you had a

722
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: guy go off and we maybe haven't faced that tight

723
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: end that's that's your dominant tight end, or you're sometimes

724
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: a number one right wide receiver on a team like

725
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is for the Kansas City Chiefs. Um Mike Gisicki.

726
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: He went off against the Bills, I think in the

727
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: last time that the Bills faced them, or one game

728
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: last season. I can't remember which one it was, but

729
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: he only had three catches, so that's something that was

730
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: also good to see. They limit all the wide receivers

731
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: to under fifty receiving yards, so from the front end

732
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: to the back end, I mean this past rush plays

733
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: the way it does, it allows the secondary to have

734
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: freedom to make some of those plays that they did yesterday. Yeah,

735
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: and you look at I know the first half the

736
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: game swung quickly in the favor of the Bills, but

737
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: they still finished the job in the second half. The

738
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: defense I'm talking about, because the Dolphins got out gained

739
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: in the second half one sixty one to seventy one.

740
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: The Dolphins had seventy one yards in the second half

741
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: when they knew they had to throw the football to

742
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: even attempt to climb back into the game. And I

743
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: think that seventy one yards not only speaks to the

744
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: past rush obviously affecting the passing game on the front end,

745
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: but the way the guys played on the back end

746
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: and covering people up. I mean, I do remember hearing

747
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: the color analyst on the broadcast, Matt Millen, commenting that

748
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: it's one of the best defensive coverage games he's seen

749
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: from both secondaries in terms of the coverage talent that

750
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: you had out there on the field yesterday. Yeah, it

751
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: was tough for a wide receivers to get open. I mean,

752
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: I think that's why Josh Allen has as low of

753
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: a completion percentage as he does and only through for

754
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy nine yards. That Miami secondary, like

755
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: I have talked about already, they're good secondary. There's a

756
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: lot of money invested in that Miami Dolphins secondary, in

757
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 1: particular those cornerbacks. So it was tough for Josh Allen

758
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: sometimes to get those clean looks that he wanted, maybe

759
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: made him think a second or two more before he

760
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: made a throw, so wondering what that may look like

761
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: down the road. I think in terms of this offense,

762
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of Josh Allen is still waiting

763
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: to get into his rhythm, still working to get into

764
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: his rhythm, with his wide receivers, with his skill. Guys

765
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: and defenses are going to know how to play this

766
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: offense a little bit more than they did last year.

767
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: Because the tape is there. Our offense is going to

768
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: do things that they've been last year. There's still going

769
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: to be some new wrinkles, but they're going to roll

770
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: out the things that they were amazing at last year again, right,

771
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: which is why yesterday's performance, as we mentioned, with thirty

772
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: running plays with thirty three passing plays is probably gonna

773
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,200

774
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: might be coming at them in a given week from

775
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: the Bills as they try to diversify their offense from

776
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: what it was last year. Break time for Maddie and

Speaker 1: Chris Brown Maddie glab with you here on a Buffalo

792
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: Football Monday, a thirty five nothing shell lacking of the

793
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins in Miami. And I was going back, Maddie, because

794
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm always scribbling stuff down when we're

795
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 1: watching the games and stuff, and I'm going it's hard

796
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: not to overlook the two red zone takeaways. And I'm

797
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: counting a turnover on downs as a takeaway because essentially

798
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: that's what you've done by stopping them on fourth down.

799
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: And I mean two red zone takeaways. I mean that

800
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: is just gigantic in any football game. But I think

801
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: it's the reason one of the main reasons why the

802
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 1: score wound up as lopsided as it was, because even

803
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: when Miami was able to string some plays together get

804
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: into scoring territory, they were still able to come up

805
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: with absolutely nothing. And the one that was the scariest

806
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: was when Josh throws the interception and Miami's got the

807
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: ball on the Buffalo twenty four yard line as a

808
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: drive start, but Mulano gets a sack on second down,

809
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: and then Zimmer splits that double team and Malcolm Brown

810
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: gets stopped by Dane Jackson and he outweighs Dane Jackson

811
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: by like twenty five pounds. Maddie, I mean that was

812
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: just bowing up on defense. Yeah, when Dane Jackson goes

813
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: in for Levi Wallace, I wasn't thinking, Okay, you know,

814
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,959
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw over to Dane Jackson and he's gonna

815
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: get burned because he's the new cornerback who just came

816
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: into the game. I was thinking, Dane Jackson's gonna hold

817
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,959
Speaker 1: his own. He's a good cornerback, He's played in big

818
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: games last season. But I did not expect Dane Jackson

819
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: to have a four thousand stop in the red zone

820
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: and negate the Miami Dolphins from the opportunity of scoring.

821
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: That was something that wasn't in my mind, and something

822
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: that I was very impressed to see him do immediately

823
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: when he came in the game, right And I know

824
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: I mentioned Zimmer earlier in the game because I thought

825
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: he was disruptive as well. And so you go and

826
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: look at that last fourth down stop by the Bills

827
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: that they made, not the one where they dropped the

828
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: ball at the end. That was kind of an unforced error.

829
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: That really wasn't a fourth down stop. That was kind

830
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: of Miami doing it to themselves, which they did a

831
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: lot in this game, not for nothing, but the one

832
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: prior to that, Jerry Hughes gets a QB pressure on

833
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: second and two and it leads to an incomplete pass.

834
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: Then Tredavious breaks up a pass on a third and

835
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: two while justin Zimmer's getting pressure on the quarterback. And

836
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: then fourth and two, tarn Johnson with that hit just

837
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: knocks the ball loose from the receiver and it falls incomplete.

838
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just bang bang bang, play after play

839
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: after play, just being better than the man across from you.

840
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: And when you can string that many together, you can't

841
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: get those results. I mean, I wasn't expecting to shutout,

842
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: but man like the way they were playing down after

843
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: down after out on defense. I gotta tell you, like

844
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: I think, and I know it's early, it's only two games,

845
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: but you look at their defensive rankings after two games.

846
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they're top five and almost everything. Right now.

847
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can sustain it. Obviously, staying

848
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: healthy will be a big reason or a big factor

849
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: in sustaining it. But they kind of look like they're

850
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen four Maddie here early. They really do.

851
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 1: And all of these things don't happen in a game

852
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: because of luck. You usually don't have a game where

853
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: you have six sacks, four fourth DOWND stops. Two of

854
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: those are in the red zone. The opponent goes oh

855
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: for three in the red zone. You also have a

856
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: special teams takeaway, an interception, a forced fumble that you recover.

857
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: All of those things happen in a game because your

858
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: defense is so good. And I think we're seeing the

859
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: fact that last year I remember Week one, two, three,

860
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: and maybe even four, we were hearing from our defense

861
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: and kind of also wondering where our twenty nineteen defense

862
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: was and what happened to it, And the players were

863
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,919
Speaker 1: saying we didn't have a preseason. We don't. We didn't

864
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: have enough time to really work on form tackling. There's

865
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: things that we get out of preseason games that are

866
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: really helpful for a defense, and we see the defense

867
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: show up just like that in Week one in Week two.

868
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: Maybe preseason games are part of the reseason, part of

869
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: the reason why our defense is coming out of the

870
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: gate and looking the way that they do, and as

871
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: well as the Bills defense is played, like across the league,

872
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: scoring is up again this year. I mean last night,

873
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: but I mean that was a wild game down in

874
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore with that finish thirty five, But there were a

875
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: bunch of games in the thirties on both sides of

876
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: the score sheet, and there was I can't remember. I

877
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 1: think it might have been Peter King in his Football

878
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: Morning in America column, he said, you know, some we've

879
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: seen some of the most entertaining football through the first

880
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: two weeks when you think about some of the back

881
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: and forth games that we've witnessed this year, And he

882
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: said a lot of coaches will tell you that preseason

883
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: does matter. It is instrumental in getting guys ready and

884
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: sharpening up every phase of your team for the regular season,

885
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: and it's to the benefit of the fan and the

886
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: viewers because you're getting a better on field product to

887
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: watch and enjoy. And I gotta say, through the first

888
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 1: two weeks, I mean you've had some wildly entertaining football games. Yeah.

889
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: Last night's game was absolutely insane watching Kansas City and

890
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens go after it. I mean, a team that

891
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson called his kryptonite he finally beats, and I

892
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: love their head coach Harbaugh going Lamar, Lamar, do you

893
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: want to go for it? Do you want to go

894
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: for it? Of course Lamar wants to go for it.

895
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 1: Come on. Yeah. I almost felt like on Hardball was

896
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: playing up to the cameras on that. I mean, you

897
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: got you don't want to give Patrick Mahomes any extra

898
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 1: time if you're punting there, you know, and Sam Cook's

899
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: a good punter for Baltimore, So let's just say, you know,

900
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: he hangs it high so they can't return it. You're

901
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: still giving Patrick Mahomes the football with one oh five

902
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: left on the clock. I mean, I'm not doing that.

903
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: You gotta go for it there. I don't know. I

904
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: just thought a lot was made of that because you know,

905
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: the cameras caught it. You could clearly see what Hardball

906
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 1: was saying. But you know, you got a dynamic guy

907
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands, you can you can

908
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: pick up short yardage on fourth down with him more

909
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: often than not. I was actually surprised it was an

910
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: inside run play that they chose to go with there,

911
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: but he got it, you know, and then they get

912
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: the late fumble from Edwards Hilaire and that kind of

913
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: seals the game with Olway coming up with the forced

914
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: fumble in the recovery. So yeah, I just saw that

915
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: on social media this morning. I was like, really, like,

916
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: what was what was the decision there? You gotta go

917
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: for it. You can't give it back to Mahomes. Just

918
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: can't do it. Yeah, what type of quarterback are you?

919
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 1: If it's a fourth and one with a minute left

920
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: to play, or going up against the Kansas Chiefs. You

921
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: can end the game if you convert this fourth to

922
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: one and you're like, no, actually, let's just punt the ball, coach,

923
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to go for it. I don't want

924
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: that quarterback on my team if you're that type of quarterback. Right,

925
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: and not only that, you know we've learned over the years,

926
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: the only way you beat Kansas City is by playing aggressively.

927
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: You can't sit back and play conservatively against that team.

928
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: And I gotta admit I thought they were cooked. You know,

929
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: a pick six to start the game, and then he

930
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: throws another pick in the end zone, both to Tyrn

931
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: Matthew in the first three series. You do that against

932
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: Kansas City, it's usually a death sentence. So kudos to

933
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: the Ravens for bouncing back in that because, I mean,

934
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: we all know they're playing supremely shorthanded with all the

935
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: injuries they've had through the course of training camp in

936
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: the preseason. So that is a monster effort by the

937
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: Ravens to come up with that victory. And I think

938
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: that's the first loss ever in September by Patrick Mahomes

939
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: in his career. How about that. That's just stupid. That's stupid.

940
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: Guy's never lost in September. It is NFL's starting career.

941
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: That's just dumb. Some of these numbers are crazy. We

942
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but we got our

943
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,959
Speaker 1: number two coming your way. And in our number two,

944
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna go around the locker room. Let you hear

945
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 1: from some of the players and head coach Sean McDermott

946
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: about the victory in Miami. A thirty one or thirty

947
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: five nothing around man, I'm trying to short change him here,

948
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: thirty five nothing Week two victory to get back on

949
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: track and get the important first division win of the season.

950
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: Mattie and I are back with Around the Locker Room.

951
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: Next Here on one Bills Live presented by Kalaida Health.

952
00:52:53,120 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. At a Steve Tasker who has

953
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: been all over the fields, kind of unique. He was

954
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for state. Steve a blimp.

955
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strated fere of normalcy. We're

956
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: number two. Chris Brown Maddy glab here on a Bills

957
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: Football Monday, A victory Monday as the Bills improved to

958
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: one and one with the thirty five nothing victory over

959
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. And it's time now, Maddie, for us to

960
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 1: go Around the Locker Room, presented by Connect Life Connect Life,

961
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: your blood and organ donor network, and we begin with

962
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: Bill's safety Micah Hyde. We talked about forcing the turnovers

963
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: in the game as well as the fourth down stops

964
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: on defense. You went in a turnover battle then you

965
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: know you're most likely can win the football game. So

966
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: you know, we wanted to come out here this week

967
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: and we wanted to do just that. I'm not sure

968
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: exactly how many takeaways we had, but there's a lot

969
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: of fourth down stops and just defense, get off the field,

970
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: and that's what we preach and that's what we weren't

971
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: able to do last week in the in the second half. So, um,

972
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, we were just you know, meant on a

973
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: mission this week and when I wanted to come down

974
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: here and get to win. The plan that we had

975
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: in place, you know, the plan that coaches put together. Um,

976
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: you know, we've we've we felt it, we loved it,

977
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: we loved the calls that Fraser was making throughout the week,

978
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: and we knew that once we get into the game,

979
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: we had a clear understanding of what they do, what

980
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: they do, and what we're gonna do against them. So, um,

981
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the game comes run around. You know,

982
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: you got the nerves, you know, you're not sure how

983
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna perform, but you know, it all starts during

984
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: the weekend, and um, you know, I got to give

985
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: it to coaches putting a plan together that that you

986
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: know that we can we can play fast, play smart

987
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: and go out there and ex His counterpart at safety,

988
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:54,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, also added, uh this on the defensive approach

989
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: after Jacoby were set had to take over for two

990
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: it in the game, you definitely want to can continue

991
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: to put pressure, you know, on the offense. You know,

992
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: understanding that their starting quarterbacks out, you know, the backup

993
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: may have not got as many reps that week, so

994
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: you just want to continue to put pressure on him,

995
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: continue to you know, show different looks and try to

996
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: confuse them. And you know, I thought, I thought, you know,

997
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: I thought our defense, you know, throughout the whole we

998
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: made adjustments throughout the game, and you know, it was

999
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: just it was an incredible way to bounce back after

1000
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: last week. And we, like I said earlier, we just

1001
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: want to continue that momentum. So Mattie, I know we

1002
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: discussed this on our Bills pregame show Bills field pass

1003
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: about if you can take away to us first read

1004
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: because he's a rhythm passer, and if you could take

1005
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: away his first read and force him to go to

1006
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: his second or his third progression, that's when he gets

1007
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a happy feet in the pocket.

1008
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: That's when you can force him into bad decisions. Now,

1009
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: he didn't even have time to do that because usually

1010
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: somebody was on his back already. But they did do

1011
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: that with Brissette. They would try to take away the

1012
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: first option, the pressure was already closing in, and then

1013
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: he would have to make a hurried or ill advised decision.

1014
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: And more often than not, if it wasn't a turnover

1015
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: or a pass breakup, it was an incompletion. So what

1016
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: can be said about Leslie Frasier and the defensive staff's

1017
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: plan going in? We heard Micah Hyde, you know, give

1018
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: a lot of credit to the plan. Granted they still

1019
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: have to go out and execute, but it looked like

1020
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: it was perfectly designed for the way things unfolded in

1021
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, I mean, you ask a team to

1022
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: do what they're good at. I think it starts with that.

1023
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser knows the strengths of his defense and he

1024
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: implicated that in the plan that they used against the

1025
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. They knew, like I said to us, struggles

1026
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: under pressure. And he's a quarterback who likes to get

1027
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 1: the ball out quick because when you take away some

1028
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: of those reads, he doesn't know what to do. They're

1029
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: also a team was played against Jacobe Burst before and

1030
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: knows the type of quarterback he is. So also good

1031
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 1: on them for studying and knowing the second quarterback because

1032
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: he came in and played most of the game. Leslie

1033
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: Fraser was praised by people around the league and by

1034
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: National Riders for the game that he planned for his defense.

1035
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. This team loves to put

1036
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: pressure on teams. When you ask a corner to blitz,

1037
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 1: when you have to ask a safety to blitz, when

1038
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: you ask a nickel quarterback, cornerback to blitz, a linebacker

1039
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: to blitz, they're usually excited to do something like that.

1040
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: And to see them be that effective when they were

1041
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: dialing up those types of blitzes and maybe giving them

1042
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: some more exotic looks, it paid off in terms of

1043
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: what Miami couldn't do. So good on Leslie. I mean,

1044
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: this is not the first game that we've seen him

1045
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: divulge an amazing game plan. He is someone who got

1046
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: interviews to be a head coach this past offseason. I

1047
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: would assume those interviews continue as jobs and vacancies open

1048
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: up across the NFL. I wish he could be our

1049
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for another ten years, but I just don't

1050
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: see that because he's really good at what he does,

1051
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: and a team is going to want that for their

1052
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: head coach. The thing that I liked the most about

1053
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: the plan, specifically the pass rush plan, was how much

1054
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: he diversified it. I mean, they come out of the

1055
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: shoot with a nickel corner blitz and then a safety

1056
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: blitz on the first three plays, both result in sacks.

1057
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: Then after that he starts sending Milano as a delayed blitzer,

1058
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: drops an end into coverage, whether it's Rousseau or someone

1059
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: on the other side, and then after that he just

1060
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: lets his front four go and eat, and the heads

1061
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 1: of the offensive linemen are spinning so much already that

1062
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: just getting pressure with the front four was effective. After

1063
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: those first two punches on the first two series came

1064
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: at them with Milano as a bull rusher linebacker on

1065
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: a delay and with corners and safeties coming off the edge,

1066
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: I really think they had Miami's heads collectively spinning because

1067
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: they didn't know what was coming next, and it let

1068
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: them just get pressure with their front four, allowing seven

1069
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: guys to hold it down on the back end. In coverage.

1070
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: I really I thought the diversification of the pass rush

1071
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: is what made it so darn effective. Granted they executed

1072
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: in all three different ways. Miami just really struggled up front.

1073
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: It's just it's amazing to me because we talk all

1074
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: the time, Maddie about how much the Bills have invested

1075
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: high draft choices in their pass rush, whether it's zed

1076
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: Oliver aj Epenesa or Rousseau and bash him the last

1077
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: three years, all first or second round draft choices. You

1078
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: look at Miami, they've invested heavily in their offensive line.

1079
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean Robert Hunt I think was a second round pick.

1080
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: He starts at right guard for them. Austin Jackson was

1081
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: a first round pick. Leam Eichenberg they just drafted this year,

1082
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: was a second round pick. And even that Solomon Kinley

1083
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: kid who starts at the other guard position, I think

1084
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: he was a fourth round pick a couple of years ago. So, yes,

1085
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: they are young, but you've got some pretty high draft

1086
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: choices in the mix here, and the player development just

1087
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: isn't there. And so maybe this is an indication that

1088
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: we tip our hat too to the player development that

1089
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: goes on here by this coaching staff because I know

1090
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: we hear coach McDermott talk about it all the time,

1091
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: the growth mindset and trying to be the best version

1092
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: of yourself. But we see evidence of that here in

1093
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: the young players. I mean, we were just talking in

1094
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: the first hour, Maddie about how we might be seeing

1095
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: a passing in the Torch sooner rather than later between

1096
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes and Addison to Epinessa and Rousseau, which may

1097
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: be ahead of schedule in the minds of a lot

1098
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: of Bills fans, but I think it's happening. And for Miami,

1099
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: we just haven't seen that, despite the fact that they've

1100
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: invested heavily in their offensive line. And we've all been

1101
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: a part of teams and you and I have worked

1102
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: for teams where that's just not the case, where you

1103
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: have a head coach or you have coordinators where you

1104
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: see players that just aren't growing at the rate that

1105
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: you think or you deem that they should be growing.

1106
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: And it sucks to be a part of those teams

1107
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: because you're bringing in high draft picks and there is

1108
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: an adjustment that takes place going from college football to

1109
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: the pros, and there's growth that you want to take place. Obviously,

1110
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: the guy you may be draft in the first or

1111
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: second round, even if he's a top ten pick, he's

1112
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: not going to be perfect. There's things that you're going

1113
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: to put in place for him in order so he

1114
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 1: can grow. And having coordinators and a head coach who

1115
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: maybe aren't as good at that or don't put as

1116
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: much into that basket of growth, it's no fun to

1117
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: be a part of because then you have guys who

1118
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: are wasting their careers away under a certain coaching staff,

1119
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: and then it turns into them maybe not having the

1120
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: career in the NFL, or in college football, or you

1121
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: name it that they wanted to and that's something that

1122
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: this staff is so good at. I mean, Josh Allen

1123
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: is the perfect example of growth on this football team. Yeah,

1124
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: and it's not just him. I mean there's a lot

1125
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: of other players as well, but yes, he's the most

1126
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: obvious example, no question about it. But do you think

1127
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: about Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde when they came here.

1128
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean they were in household names in Buffalo or

1129
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: anywhere else in the league for that matter, And you

1130
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: want to talk about maximizing the opportunity to start here.

1131
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean my gosh, they're arguably the best safety tandem

1132
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: in the league. And I mean you can run down

1133
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: the list. What is Levi Wallace done? Is an undrafted rookie?

1134
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's a four year starter now and

1135
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: you know is and he makes plays, I mean an

1136
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 1: interception yesterday. And you could say the same thing about

1137
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: mat Malano. Gay was a fifth round draft choice and

1138
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: I think he's probably should have been to a Pro

1139
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: Bowl already, but the way he has played through the

1140
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: course of his career, and you can just go on

1141
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: down the line, and it is something that for the

1142
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: longest time did not exist here in Buffalo, with various

1143
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: coaching staffs that came through, and it was due in

1144
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: part to the fact that a lot of those coaching

1145
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: staffs weren't here very long and they got recycled for

1146
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: another coaching staff and then another coaching staff. So the

1147
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: true player development that this team enjoys now really never

1148
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: had a chance to take hold and lift the level

1149
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: of all the players, which makes you a better team.

1150
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: So it's just so refreshing to see that. Now we

1151
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: mentioned the pass rush and Greg Russeau had himself a

1152
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: game playing back on the same field that he played

1153
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: on in college at the University of Miami. Here is

1154
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo's top draft choice. On his return to his college

1155
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: location and the sack production he had on Sunday, that's

1156
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: pretty cool, you know, playing all my home games in

1157
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: the stadium in college, had a lot of great memories here,

1158
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: had my whole family here, so you know, it was

1159
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: just it was just a blessing to be back, to

1160
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: be able to come back and play my hometown and

1161
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: have a solid game in the first three plays. Is

1162
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: there a sense pretty early on like you guys are

1163
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna eat today? Uh? Yeah, I say there was, you know,

1164
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: and it's just really all about just going out there

1165
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: and playing hungry. Now, obviously we lost last week, we'd

1166
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 1: have our best game, so we knew we had to

1167
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: come out, come out and start fast, and that's what

1168
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: we did. Describe that momentum when the pass rush really

1169
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: gets rolling, because it definitely feels like, yeah, it's like

1170
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: one after another. It means everything. You know, get momentum

1171
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: and football is a huge, huge part of the game.

1172
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: And then when your unit's coming up big, you just

1173
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: feed off each other like a j makes the play,

1174
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: Jerry makes the play. It just gets you more excited

1175
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: now you want to go and get one. It's just

1176
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: it's really like a snowball effect. A snowball effect. That's

1177
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: the last phrase i'd expect a South Florida kid to

1178
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: be using. But there it is. Staking a buffalo pretty well,

1179
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I guess. But yeah, I mean, here's the thing, Maddie.

1180
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: The sacks are readily visible. They're an easy thing for

1181
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: even the casual fan to witness and say, oh wow,

1182
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: they're really getting home today. But even on the plays

1183
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: that didn't end in a sack, I mean, they were

1184
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: harassing the quarterback almost every single play that he dropped

1185
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: back to pass, whether they were hurrying a throw, whether

1186
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: they were moving him off his spot. And we hear

1187
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser talk about that all the time, like it's

1188
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: not always about the sack. Sometimes it's just moving him.

1189
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just forcing him to rush a throw and

1190
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: disrupt the timing of a play. They even did that

1191
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: well yesterday. And I also love the way that they've

1192
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: they're committed to the plan of rotating defensive lineman. And

1193
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: you said that in the beginning of the show. In

1194
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: terms of the percentage of snaps that all eight defensive

1195
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: linemen that were up. God, it was it was shared

1196
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: amongst them all. And last year, this is the type

1197
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: of defensive line, the type of rotation that they wanted

1198
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: to play. Last year, we didn't see the payoff in

1199
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 1: terms of pressure in terms of sacks. They ranked fifteen

1200
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: fifteenth in terms of sacks last season, got to the

1201
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: quarterback sometimes. But then in the end of the season,

1202
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: second half of the season, we kind of saw this

1203
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: defensive line go back to just playing steady eddie with

1204
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: four guys, not rotating them in and out. Maybe how

1205
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser and Eric Washington, the defensive line coach wanted

1206
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: to in the beginning of the season, and then they

1207
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: started this season. And when we saw it in training camp,

1208
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: when we were watching practices and in preseason games, the

1209
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: looks that this defensive line was giving opposing offenses in

1210
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: terms of rotating guys in and out of defensive end

1211
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: from defensive end to defensive tackle. And I love that

1212
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: because it didn't work out last year. I love that

1213
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: they're going back to it this year. They didn't just

1214
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: completely give up on the fact that, Hey, this is

1215
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: a type of defensive line that we want to run.

1216
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: We want to rotate. Our guys, they go back to

1217
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: it this season, they go back to it in training camp,

1218
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: work on it, and now it's paying off for this

1219
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: defensive line. Coach McDermott, because we mentioned this in the

1220
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: first hour too, Maddie, how the offense kind of hit

1221
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: a bit of a lull there in the second quarter,

1222
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: really couldn't do anything with the football, let alone game yards,

1223
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: and it kind of kept them stagnant on the scoreboard

1224
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: after two quick touchdowns, and fortunately the defense kind of

1225
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: kept the game where it was and didn't let Miami

1226
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 1: climb back into it. Second half was a different situation.

1227
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Here is coach McDermott talking about the offense finding its

1228
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: rhythm when they came out of the locker room in

1229
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: the second half. I thought there was a good communication,

1230
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, leading leading into halftime and then at halftime

1231
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: by our offensive staff and came out and got into

1232
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: a better rhythm and the second half there, I thought

1233
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: Brian did a really good job with that and Josh

1234
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: seemed to find his rhythm as well. I didn't think

1235
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: we were really into a rhythm in the first half,

1236
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: even though we scored fourteen, so it was good to

1237
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: see that in the second Yeah, I found the lull interesting, Maddie.

1238
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: And this is not something that's foreign to the Bill's offense,

1239
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: because even as successful as this offense was last year,

1240
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure you remember, the third quarter was the big bugaboo.

1241
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Last year, they come out of the locker room and

1242
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: the offense would fall flat, and this week we saw

1243
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: it happen in the second quarter. And then ironically, they

1244
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 1: come out in the second half and on the first drive,

1245
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: you know, they put some more points on the board

1246
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: right away. So I don't know what do you make

1247
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: of them being able to kind of regroup and come

1248
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: out and kind of find some rhythm. It wasn't sustained

1249
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: rhythm for the entire second half, but just to see

1250
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: some rhythm back in the offense, I have to believe

1251
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: is something they can hopefully build off of. Yeah, and

1252
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned what the drives looked like in the first half.

1253
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they score on the first two drives in

1254
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: the first half in the first quarter, and then they

1255
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: kind of fall asleep and we don't see from the

1256
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: offense and we see errors from the offense, and they

1257
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: come out of the second half and they go touchdown, punt, touchdown,

1258
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 1: touchdown end of game. So that's what you want to

1259
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: see from this offense is to be able to put

1260
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 1: drives like that together consistently. I think that's that's a

1261
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: word that we want for this offense in terms of

1262
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: getting in the end zone this season. Josh Allen was

1263
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: such a consistent quarterback last season. We want to see

1264
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: him be that this year. With his weapons. He has

1265
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 1: so many guys he can look to and so many

1266
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: talented players on this offense who can help him put

1267
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: drives together, who can help him get in the end zone.

1268
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: And to see them do a little bit more of

1269
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: that in the second half, I think definitely is going

1270
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: to play into this Week three game against a really

1271
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 1: good defense in the Washington football team. And speaking of Josh,

1272
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: here is what he thought of that opening scoring drive

1273
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 1: to start the second half. We know we needed to

1274
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 1: get six there, and you know, we had a couple

1275
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: of plays early on in that first quarter that helped

1276
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: us get a couple scores. We wanted to put something

1277
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 1: together that was you know, long sustaining and um, you know,

1278
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: really I mean putting us up twenty when nothing coming

1279
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: right out of the third quarter, I mean, I think

1280
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: that's that's huge for a team to have that sense

1281
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: of like, okay, like we still can play aggressive here

1282
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: and we don't have to worry about any constantly. We

1283
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 1: don't have to be afraid. Like let's just go and uh,

1284
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, pin our ears back and play hard. And

1285
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 1: that's what our guys did. And um, you know that's

1286
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: off to our defense too, giof Seg and the NFL.

1287
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: It's that doesn't happen too often. So, um, you know,

1288
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: we gotta appreciate these tops of moments and the top

1289
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: of plays that our guys made today. Those that was

1290
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 1: awesome to see. So yeah, And the most interesting part

1291
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: of that comment Maddie though, was feeling like they could

1292
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: breathe a little bit and still be aggressive and not

1293
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 1: be afraid. So I'm wondering, what's that just makes me

1294
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: stop and think for a second, what's going through Josh's

1295
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: head after the lull in play through the course of

1296
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: the second quarter where they essentially go fumble, punt, interception, punch, punch,

1297
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: missed field goal and then go into halftime and it's

1298
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 1: still fourteen. Nothing like you obviously go into the locker

1299
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,639
Speaker 1: room feeling, oh man, we should have more than that.

1300
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: I hope this doesn't come back to bite us. So

1301
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's what he's talking about. When you know,

1302
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: you come out and there's Brian Dables saying, hey, we're

1303
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: not sitting on the ball here, we gotta go get

1304
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: some more points. Let's go. And I think we saw

1305
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 1: that reflected in the aggressiveness that they played with on

1306
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 1: that first drive at the third quarter. Yeah, if you

1307
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 1: go into halftime and the game's fourteen to seven or

1308
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: fourteen to fourteen, what you do in the third quarter,

1309
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: maybe that first drive that you come out of the

1310
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: locker room with could look a lot different. You might

1311
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: not be able to be as aggressive as this offense

1312
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: was in the second half if it was a tighter game.

1313
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: I mean, they had a fourteen point lead to work with,

1314
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:52,719
Speaker 1: which was good enough. I mean I would have felt

1315
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more comfortable at the twenty one point

1316
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: lead going into halftime. In the offense sure did have

1317
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 1: enough opportunities to score at least one more touchdown before

1318
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: the half. The first half ended. He talked about being aggressive,

1319
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you would have thought that this offense would have

1320
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 1: been a little bit more aggressive in that entire first half.

1321
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 1: They score in the first two possessions. You just listed

1322
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 1: what they did on the other possessions in the first half.

1323
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't really deem that as aggressive football, and I

1324
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: know we can go back to this. Miami defense is

1325
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: really good. The secondary was doing a good job of

1326
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 1: covering our wide receivers and covering our guys. It was

1327
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: hard for them to get open at times. But I

1328
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: want to see them play that way the entire game.

1329
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to see a quarter this season where

1330
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: they decide to fall asleep or they can't score points.

1331
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: You said it last year it was the third quarter.

1332
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't want this year to be the second quarter.

1333
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: We're playing some good teams on the schedule this season,

1334
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 1: and we can't afford to fall asleep or to go

1335
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: away for a whole quarter. Yeah, especially if they're not

1336
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: going to put up points on a weekly basis the

1337
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:58,839
Speaker 1: way they did in the second half of the season

1338
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: last year. You can't count on your defense to post

1339
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 1: goose eggs every single week either. I don't know if

1340
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 1: that's fair. Maddy mentioned Zach Moss and some of the

1341
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,919
Speaker 1: personal stuff he was dealing with this week, the tragic

1342
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: passing of his aunt. Fortunately for him, he was in

1343
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: his native South Florida, and coach allowed him to attend

1344
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: the funeral on Saturday before the game. But here is

1345
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: Zack moss On carrying that with him and then having

1346
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: to rebound from a lost fumble early in the game.

1347
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: For one, I need to pay myself back first and

1348
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: this team. But I mean something like that. It was

1349
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 1: similar last year, my rookie year in San Francisco on

1350
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: a Monday night game. We had a fumble on the

1351
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: exchange deep in the red zone coming out and I

1352
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: got benched that game. So that was a big learning curve.

1353
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: And then for Coach McDermott just to continue to say

1354
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: that he trusts me every time I kind of seen

1355
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: him was big for me. So I just knew I

1356
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: definitely needed to come back out and just do what

1357
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: I need to do. Was move the emotional righting for

1358
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: you like now, I think, imagine it's got to be.

1359
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: It's tiring and loads it gets and all things considered,

1360
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: and to be able to finish in the way you

1361
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: did and literally finish the goal line, yeah, I mean,

1362
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: it's life, you know what I mean. I think that's

1363
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: I had to put it in one word's life. So

1364
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: I mean it's going from having ups and having downs

1365
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: in just twenty four hours. So I'm just thankful for

1366
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 1: just being able to play this game. Um, you know,

1367
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: because a lot of other things in life that's way

1368
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: more important. But I get a chance to come out

1369
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: here and play this game. So I'm super happy and

1370
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: super bleased just to be able to play, like I said,

1371
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: and have the game that I did have with the

1372
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: rebound and his dose of power running Maddie, I think

1373
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 1: is something that is an interesting added element that this

1374
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: offense can put on film and force future opponents to

1375
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: have to prepare for. It's not just oh man, we

1376
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: gotta figure out how we're gonna game plan for Josh Allen.

1377
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: It's like, oh man, even if Allen isn't on, you know,

1378
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: playing his best game, we got we gotta worry about

1379
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: this too. Yeah. And he's someone who was who was

1380
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: inactive in week one and a lot of people ask

1381
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott about it, and he said, hey, this is

1382
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: this is someone who was injured in camp and was

1383
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: coming off of an injury to go into camp and

1384
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: had an injury in camp, so we wanted to give

1385
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: him the time that he needed to be ready, So

1386
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 1: hopefully we see him active for every single game if

1387
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: he is healthy, because I feel like he can be

1388
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: a player that that kind of recks a game plan

1389
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 1: or another added weapon that a defense has to scheme

1390
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 1: up for and has to prepare for. Zach Moss was

1391
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:46,759
Speaker 1: a player who at Utah scored so many touchdowns, broke

1392
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: so many records in college football at Utah and in

1393
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: the conference that he played him. I want to see

1394
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: him be that player this season. His rookie year, he

1395
01:15:56,680 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 1: flashed in some games and and had some some good touchdowns,

1396
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 1: had some good runs. But we need to see a

1397
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 1: more consistent running back out of Zach Moss, Devin Singletary,

1398
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: really the whole group if they're going to maybe lean

1399
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: on the run a little bit more this season to

1400
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 1: be a more balanced football team in order to have

1401
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: defenses have to prepare for a couple more things that

1402
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: they maybe weren't expecting out of a team who passed

1403
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 1: the ball so much last year. No, we have to

1404
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: take a break here. One thing we did want to

1405
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: pass along to you. Doug kay Ed, who is a

1406
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus reporter, is reporting that the Bills are

1407
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: working out free agent cornerback Quentin Dunbar. Dunbar was with

1408
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 1: the Lions earlier this summer, so he's a cornerback. So

1409
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: we'll see what that means going forward, if in fact,

1410
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: it comes to pass in the coming days. We'll take

1411
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: a break here, but when we come back, you know

1412
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: what happens after Bill's victories. It's time for the Mattie Awards.

1413
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: Those are coming your way next Here on one, Bill's Live,

1414
01:16:56,479 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

1415
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 1: Bills fans, last night you had the Emmys, But every Monday,

1416
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: after Bill's victories, we bring you the Maddie's presented by

1417
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Maddie,

1418
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 1: take it away. I'm back and I'm better than ever.

1419
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: You know, coming off of a wonderful, shutout victory. We

1420
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: have plenty of awards to hand out, just like at

1421
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: the Emmy's. Sorry, I'm not wearing like a gold dress

1422
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 1: or something like that. Bill's blue in a little bit

1423
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: of red will have to suffice. But let's start with

1424
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: number one, our dog of the game. I'm giving it

1425
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: to Taryn Johnson. He had such a great game coming

1426
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: in clutch on several plays. This is your nickel cornerback

1427
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: who play, like I've alluded to earlier, a lot bigger

1428
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: than he actually is. One forced fumble, a fourth dound stop,

1429
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: a big time fourth dound stop. He had a sack,

1430
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 1: two passes defense. This is someone last year who we

1431
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 1: saw showed up in some games, making big time plays,

1432
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 1: pick six things like that that he did last year.

1433
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 1: But in the first two games of this season, Taren

1434
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Johnson's has really showed up when he's been in the game.

1435
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:32,680
Speaker 1: This is a team, the Bills are a team that

1436
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: plays a lot of nickel defense. Therefore, Tarn Johnson has

1437
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: carved out a nice role for himself in that nickel

1438
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: cornerback spot that he's playing in so much, and so

1439
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: to see him be as effective as he was yesterday,

1440
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,679
Speaker 1: he earns the dog of the game in my eyes,

1441
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 1: right and just so it's clear for everybody that is

1442
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 1: a good thing. A lot of times in the old days,

1443
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 1: he used to call some guy a dog. It was

1444
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: a bad thing. And I'm probably making sense for anybody

1445
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 1: that's over fifty or sixty. But dog of the game

1446
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 1: is a good thing now. And you heard Jordan Poyer

1447
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: when he was asked about Taron Johnson after the game yesterday,

1448
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: like the guy didn't even finish the question he was asking,

1449
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: and Poyer's just like that dude's a dog. Man, that

1450
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: dude is a dog and he just kept going and

1451
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,720
Speaker 1: going and going, and then proceeded to call him like

1452
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 1: the best nickel in the game. And I was like, wow,

1453
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 1: like that's really high praise. And I'm sure arn Johnson's

1454
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: agent's very happy to hear that, because the facts are these, Maddie.

1455
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: Arn Johnson's in the last year of his rookie contract.

1456
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: He's going to be putting himself in line for a

1457
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 1: pretty nice pay day, whether it's here or somewhere else.

1458
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody hopes it's here because I think he's

1459
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:50,720
Speaker 1: really matured into a very, very dependable player. I mean, yes,

1460
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: he's making big plays, but it's the consistency of his

1461
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 1: game over this last year plus that I think has

1462
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: really raised the level of his role in a defense

1463
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 1: that has a lot of talented players. And I think

1464
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: it was last season or maybe the season before, I

1465
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 1: cannot remember, but there was a point where he got

1466
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 1: benched after something happened in the game. I cannot remember.

1467
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: Exactly what it was. But I remember he got benched,

1468
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: had an opportunity come back, I think it was last year,

1469
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 1: and that's really where he started to shine after he

1470
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,600
Speaker 1: got benched. I mean, since then he has been a

1471
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: really effective nickel player in this defense, and not even

1472
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: just for his position, just an effective defensive player. Yeah,

1473
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 1: he got benched right before the Chiefs game in Week

1474
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 1: six and cam Lewis started at nickel and then cam

1475
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: Lewis broke his wrist in the first quarter. Tarn came on,

1476
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,599
Speaker 1: played a pretty good game, and then you're right, his play,

1477
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 1: the consistency of his play kind of took off from

1478
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: there and his confidence was building up. You could see

1479
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:56,720
Speaker 1: the way he was playing every week. And then he

1480
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 1: makes that big play Sunday night against the Steelers, fifty

1481
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: one yard pick for a touch down, and then we

1482
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,719
Speaker 1: all know the playoff game the one hundred yard returned.

1483
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 1: So he's really positioned himself well, you know, as he

1484
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,800
Speaker 1: finishes his rookie contract now to really get himself a

1485
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,720
Speaker 1: nice pay day, whether it is in free agency or

1486
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 1: if the Bills somehow, some way can get him resigned

1487
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 1: for the long term going forward. All Right, what do

1488
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:25,679
Speaker 1: we have next difference Makers. Difference Maker is our next award,

1489
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: and it's really the difference maker's plural. I'll add on

1490
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: because it's the fourth down stops. I think that was

1491
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 1: the difference maker in this game. This is a defense

1492
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: that in the past has been pretty good in terms

1493
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: of when a team tries to go for it on

1494
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 1: fourth down. I can remember countless numbers of times in

1495
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and twenty twenty where the defense negated a

1496
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 1: fourth down opportunity for the offense, and even sometimes in

1497
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: the red zone or fourth and goal plays from last

1498
01:21:56,080 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 1: year where this defense completely shut out an offense that drive.

1499
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:05,679
Speaker 1: And they did that four times yesterday. Usually an offense

1500
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: when you go for it on fourth down, I mean

1501
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: offenses usually don't even go for it four times on

1502
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:14,640
Speaker 1: fourth down in a game, and odds ares they're probably

1503
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: going to convert one of those opportunities. They didn't convert

1504
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: any yesterday. So kudos to our defense for those fourth

1505
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: down stops. And it wasn't just the defensive line, it

1506
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:29,839
Speaker 1: was the entire defense who played into those fourth down stops. Yeah,

1507
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 1: and you know, we've talked about him at length here

1508
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: on the show already today, So I won't run through

1509
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: them for any reason, but I will say that when

1510
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 1: you are put in those do or die situations and

1511
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,679
Speaker 1: you're able to come through time and time and time again,

1512
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:48,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if there is any bigger confidence boost

1513
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,719
Speaker 1: to you know, what you are as a defensive unit

1514
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: when you can consistently force a turnover on downs. As

1515
01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 1: I was saying earlier in the show, it's just as

1516
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 1: good as a turnover. I mean, the word turnover was

1517
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 1: in it. Turnover on downs, that's what it is. You're

1518
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: getting the ball back, So I mean it's the same

1519
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: thing as a punt, but maybe even more impressive because

1520
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: you actually have to play the down defensively to get

1521
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:15,919
Speaker 1: the ball back. And they did that in great supply yesterday.

1522
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: To the tune of four turnover on downs. All right,

1523
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 1: connection of the game, Connection of the game for me.

1524
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 1: There were some good plays, some good throws that Josh

1525
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: Allen made to his receivers, but one that stuck out

1526
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: to me was the touchdown to Dawson Knox. A touchdown pass,

1527
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 1: that short pass in the end zone to Dawson Knox

1528
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 1: where Dawson Knox was being guarded very tightly. Josh Allen

1529
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 1: threw it in a tight window. It was single coverage,

1530
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 1: but Dawson Knox had a very small window to make

1531
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 1: that catch. It was placed perfectly by Josh Allen. Dawson

1532
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: Knox makes a hard catch. This is my connection of

1533
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: the game because I don't think this is a catch

1534
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: that Dawson Knox makes last year. This is something that

1535
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 1: he's been working on doing a better job of taking

1536
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:09,719
Speaker 1: away those drops that he had last season. He's done

1537
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: a better job of that this year. When the ball

1538
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 1: has been thrown his way in games, He's made those plays.

1539
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: He's made those catches. This is an easy ball to

1540
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: drop because it's thrown in such a tight window. Dawson

1541
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: Knox did a great job of seeing the ball into

1542
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 1: his catch, into his chest and falling down to make

1543
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 1: that catch. So I'm really proud of Dawson Knox and

1544
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: that type of catch that he makes to put six

1545
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: points on the scoreboard. Okay, we'll move right along here

1546
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,560
Speaker 1: because I can't add anything to that. Yeah, it was

1547
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,679
Speaker 1: a great play, great execution, great job on the front

1548
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: and the back end. Bounce back. There were two bounce

1549
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 1: back guys in this game. Will go with first, Levi Wallace,

1550
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: he gets that taunting penalty, like, come on, Levi, you

1551
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: know not to do that. A lot of us were

1552
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: shaking our heads after that guilty. It was the the

1553
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 1: hand movement and then him standing over the guy. We

1554
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 1: know you can't do that. You're gonna get called for that.

1555
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 1: And that was an important play and an important part

1556
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: of the game where if Levi Wallace doesn't have an

1557
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: interception two plays later, maybe the Dolphins get on the scoreboard.

1558
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: So good on him for bouncing back, being a player

1559
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:29,480
Speaker 1: who can make a play like that because of probably

1560
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 1: the film that he had studied the week prior. That's

1561
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: a type of bounce back play that you need to

1562
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: make when you get a taunting penalty that is easily avoidable.

1563
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: Those are penalties that Sean McDermott gets pretty upset about.

1564
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,719
Speaker 1: And then my other one is Zach Moss. I mean,

1565
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 1: a fumble is something you do not want to do,

1566
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: especially when you're when you're not a rookie anymore. These

1567
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 1: are mistakes that happen your rookie season. You gotta take

1568
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 1: care of the football your next year. You can't be

1569
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: fumbling the ball maybe like you did it in your

1570
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: rookie year. He said, I got benched when I did

1571
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 1: it my rookie year, and it was a learning experience

1572
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 1: for me. He goes and does it in this game,

1573
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: doesn't see the field for quite some time, but then

1574
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,679
Speaker 1: the coaching staff gives him another opportunity and he scores

1575
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns that every running back does not have

1576
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 1: the capability to score because he is that power running

1577
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: back that we've talked about already in the show. And

1578
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:27,600
Speaker 1: for what he went through that weekend, went to his

1579
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: aunt's funeral on Saturday, that's a lot on your shoulders.

1580
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: That's a lot probably in your head mentally physically to

1581
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 1: prepare for a game like that on Sunday. Come out

1582
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: and score two rushing touchdowns with all of that on

1583
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: your mind. He definitely bounced back in this game, all right.

1584
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 1: And then with the fifteen seconds we have trending upwards

1585
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: training upwards Greg Russ. Two sacks are rookie defensive end.

1586
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: That's what we want to see out of him in

1587
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:59,640
Speaker 1: his second week on the field. Sometimes rookies take a

1588
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 1: little bit longer to develop, to grow, to blossom into

1589
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: the player that we want to see them be. This

1590
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: dude is doing it right out of the gate in

1591
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: the second week of the season, two sacks in front

1592
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:15,639
Speaker 1: of his family and friends on his former college field.

1593
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: I love the player that he is, loved the player

1594
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: that I think he's going to become in this league.

1595
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 1: All right. That is a full list of the Maddie

1596
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 1: Awards for Week two in the win over the Dolphins.

1597
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 1: Once again, Maddie Awards presented by Energy Mark, official energy

1598
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 1: supplier to the Buffalo Bills. We will break here, but

1599
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: when we come back, more of your comments on the

1600
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,799
Speaker 1: tweet sheet and your calls. At eight oh three, five fifty,

1601
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 1: we're back in a flash here on one Bills Live.

1602
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, Welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown,

1603
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab here with you on a Bills victory Monday.

1604
01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 1: There is an update on the condition of Dolphin. It's

1605
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 1: quarterback to a tongue of ioloa Ian Rappaport from NFL

1606
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 1: Network is saying it is bruised ribs. There has been

1607
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:12,839
Speaker 1: further testing today but it did not show additional cartilage damage.

1608
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 1: So he's a TBD basically for Sunday when they have

1609
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 1: to go to Las Vegas and play the Raiders, which

1610
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: is the scene of one of the crimes last year

1611
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: where he got yanked out of the game. Fitz came

1612
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 1: in and rescued the team and won it when he

1613
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,719
Speaker 1: got his head spun around, if you remember, and completed

1614
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: a pass down the left side line. I believe it's

1615
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 1: to mac hollins to set up the game winning field goal,

1616
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 1: which put them in position to stay in playoff contention

1617
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: going into the last week of the season before they

1618
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: lost by thirty points. So the Bills here last year

1619
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: in week seventeen, So we'll see how the week plays out.

1620
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 1: For Tuah, gotta believe he'll be playing. If he does play,

1621
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: he'll be wearing a flak jacket for sure. And there's

1622
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:56,680
Speaker 1: other quarterback injuries in the league that we'll get to

1623
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 1: in the third hour of the show as we go

1624
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: around the league. And I but, Maddie, I don't know

1625
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 1: if you saw this, but one of ESPN's analytics people,

1626
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:11,560
Speaker 1: Seth Walder, tweeted out the latest Football Power Index ratings

1627
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 1: from ESPN and the Bills move up big time. They

1628
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 1: move up five spots from seven to two, and they

1629
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 1: are number two in the league, behind only the Chiefs.

1630
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:26,639
Speaker 1: So how the Chiefs are still on the top spot

1631
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:30,320
Speaker 1: after losing to the Ravens by one is beyond me

1632
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 1: because they move the Ravens up three spots from eight

1633
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 1: to five, but the Bills move up from seven to two.

1634
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 1: The Bucks win big and still slide back a spot

1635
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: behind the Bills. So that's very interesting. And the Chiefs,

1636
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:46,720
Speaker 1: who sit in the number one spot and the Bucks,

1637
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 1: who sit in the number three spot are two teams that,

1638
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 1: as you know, are on Buffalo's schedule. Yeah, we've got

1639
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 1: some tough competition down the stretch when we look at

1640
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 1: the Bills schedule. But yeah, that's a little bit weird

1641
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 1: that the Kent City Chiefs are still number one. I

1642
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: think this thing is rigged. They lost yesterday ESPN. I

1643
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this or you stayed up

1644
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,479
Speaker 1: to watch the end of the game, but the Ravens won.

1645
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 1: So you might want to push Kansas City down a

1646
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:17,720
Speaker 1: place or two and put the Bills, Tampa Bay and

1647
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:21,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens up there. But that's just my opinion. This

1648
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 1: is one of those algorithms that creates an analytics model

1649
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:32,440
Speaker 1: that says that ranks how good each team is going forward,

1650
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: whatever that means. The Dolphins, by the way, in case

1651
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: you were wondering, Mattie. They plummeted ten spots from fourteen

1652
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:44,799
Speaker 1: to twenty four. Ouch. The only other team that dropped

1653
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 1: almost as much were the Saints, who didn't look very

1654
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 1: good yesterday against Carolina. They dropped nine spots from four

1655
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,879
Speaker 1: to thirteen after their big Week one win over the Packers.

1656
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: So Panthers moved up eight spots there in the middle

1657
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 1: of the pack now, so they're fifteenth after their big

1658
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:05,679
Speaker 1: win over the Saints. But yeah, Bills making a big

1659
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:09,760
Speaker 1: move inside the top ten from seven to two. Their

1660
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: football power rating is plus five point nine. I know

1661
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 1: these numbers probably mean nothing to anybody because they don't

1662
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:21,680
Speaker 1: even register with me, but I just like seeing the

1663
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: Bills in the number two spots, so I thought it

1664
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 1: was worth mentioning. So there you go. Take it for

1665
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 1: what it's worth. I'm sure it's going to change and

1666
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,519
Speaker 1: not make any sense. Maybe the only thing that is

1667
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: probably accurate is they have the Jets thirty second after

1668
01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 1: a disastrous day yesterday against the Patriots. But that's what

1669
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick does against rookie quarterbacks. We've seen it before,

1670
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 1: so I'm really not surprised that Zach Wilson through four interceptions,

1671
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,799
Speaker 1: got booted off the field, and some New York reporter

1672
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:48,599
Speaker 1: Maddy actually had the gall and this is New York

1673
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 1: media for you. After he was getting peppered with questions

1674
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 1: about how bad he played, some New York reporter asked

1675
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 1: him if he saw any ghosts, which, as we know,

1676
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:02,200
Speaker 1: is the Amos quote from Sam Darnold when he was

1677
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 1: the Jets quarterback, and Zach Wilson nervously chuckles and then

1678
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 1: says no. So, uh, it was an ugly day though

1679
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 1: for him in the Jets offense. Um, I was pretty

1680
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 1: happy because I have the Patriots defense in our no,

1681
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 1: in our nonprofit just for fun, uh studio league here.

1682
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 1: So didn't have a problem with that day by Zach

1683
01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 1: Wilson for me. So there you go. Yeah, I think

1684
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm about to go oh and two league. So it's

1685
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:41,480
Speaker 1: a bummer and a bummer for for the Jets quarterback.

1686
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he knew he was walking into something like this.

1687
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, Bill Belichick in the defense

1688
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 1: that he can dial up against rooky quarterbacks, forces them

1689
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 1: into making mistakes into throwing mistakes. Um, hopefully Zach Wilson

1690
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:02,479
Speaker 1: can bounce back after this one. After throwing four interceptions.

1691
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:07,240
Speaker 1: But be patient, Jets fans. This is a good quarterback.

1692
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 1: I think he is the right quarterback for this team.

1693
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 1: Might just take some time, and the Patriots are probably

1694
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:16,600
Speaker 1: not the team you want to draw week two for

1695
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 1: your super young quarterback. But a lot of things to

1696
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:23,599
Speaker 1: learn probably from this loss. Yeah. Actually, Robert Sala after

1697
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:27,880
Speaker 1: the game, tell me if this sounds familiar, said that

1698
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson has to stop playing hero ball at a

1699
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 1: time or two. But yeah, I mean, I think, in

1700
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:42,720
Speaker 1: many ways, similar to Josh as a young player, this

1701
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 1: is a guy that wants it so bad that sometimes

1702
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 1: he over extends himself and ends up turning in a

1703
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:53,639
Speaker 1: negative play when if he just took maybe an easier

1704
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 1: completion underneath somewhere, he could have more effectively kept his

1705
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 1: offense on the field or at least stayed on schedual

1706
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 1: in terms of down in distance. It's a lesson that

1707
01:34:02,320 --> 01:34:05,320
Speaker 1: I think all young quarterbacks have to learn, because I

1708
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: think what we lose sight of sometimes is there is

1709
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:10,719
Speaker 1: an enormous amount of pressure on these guys to perform

1710
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 1: and make plays for their team, and sometimes they lose

1711
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:20,559
Speaker 1: the balance between living for the next play and wanting

1712
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 1: to get it all on one play. And heck, Josh

1713
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 1: is a fourth year quarterback and he fell victim to

1714
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 1: that last week. And I think especially for a team

1715
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 1: like the Jets, I mean, when you draft a quarterback

1716
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: within the first couple of picks, odds ares you're not

1717
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 1: going to have the most talented team. You're at the

1718
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 1: top of choosing in the draft for a reason. And

1719
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and Josh Allen did a little bit of

1720
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 1: this too his rookie season. You don't have the weapons

1721
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 1: around you, and so you feel like you have to

1722
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 1: be forced into winning the game, saving the game, making

1723
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,200
Speaker 1: those huge plays and putting it all on your back

1724
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: because you don't really have any buddy else to share

1725
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:04,240
Speaker 1: the load with at times. And Josh Allen fell into

1726
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:08,120
Speaker 1: that his first and second season. Thankfully you're three and

1727
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 1: now going into year four. He's got a lot of weapons.

1728
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 1: He got he has a lot of pieces around him

1729
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,599
Speaker 1: to make those plays. But it's going to take time.

1730
01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 1: It's going to take a couple years for the Jets

1731
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 1: to be able to be in a place that the

1732
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:23,640
Speaker 1: Bills are in now. That's right, So be interesting to

1733
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 1: see the trajectory of Zach Wilson's career No. One. They're

1734
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: still trying to put some pieces around him. They just

1735
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: lost his left tackle for half the season, if not longer.

1736
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:33,439
Speaker 1: In McKay Beckton had a bad knee injury last week

1737
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 1: and underwent surgery. Before we go to break, though, we

1738
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 1: want to remind you Wegman's is teaming up with the

1750
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:20,519
Speaker 1: and I here, but our number three coming your way,

1751
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:24,040
Speaker 1: which will include a look around the league some other

1752
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 1: quarterback injuries to discuss, including one in the AFC South.

1753
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: We'll get to that when we return here on one

1754
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1755
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:53,719
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

1756
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1757
01:36:55,479 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 1: player for you. State of a lily, Steve of Blimp.

1758
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:07,599
Speaker 1: We're not even in the threaded here of normalcy. All

1759
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:09,799
Speaker 1: right here we are our number three on a Bills

1760
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 1: victory Monday. Oh that sounds so sweet to say, thirty

1761
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 1: five nothing over the Miami Dolphins in a game that

1762
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 1: seemingly was never close. But we take time now to

1763
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 1: take a look at the rest of the NFL. And

1764
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 1: I want to start here, Maddie, because I'm I'm willing

1765
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: to go out on a limb here and say nobody

1766
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 1: had this. After two weeks, the Las Vegas Raiders and

1767
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos are atop the AFC West after two games. No,

1768
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: I did not was going to happen. No, the Raiders,

1769
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos, come on, look at their team, look at

1770
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks, look at their play last season. I did

1771
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,879
Speaker 1: not think that. And the Raiders beat the Steelers who

1772
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:04,320
Speaker 1: the Bills lost to. I mean, yeah, didn't. Didn't draw

1773
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,520
Speaker 1: it up like that to start the year. Now, the Broncos,

1774
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:11,439
Speaker 1: in all fairness not to take away from not to

1775
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:15,720
Speaker 1: strip them of credit, but their schedule wasn't exactly a

1776
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 1: listing of Juggernauts here out of the gate. They got

1777
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:24,360
Speaker 1: the Giants in week one, the Jags yesterday, and this

1778
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:27,639
Speaker 1: coming week they have the Jets. So there's a very

1779
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 1: good chance that the Denver Broncos are going to go

1780
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:33,840
Speaker 1: three and ozero and then their schedule gets a little

1781
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: bit tougher. They have Baltimore at home on the road

1782
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh and then home against the Raiders, who are

1783
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:44,960
Speaker 1: a division rival, and also two and oh out of

1784
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 1: the shoot here, and then they're at Cleveland after that,

1785
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:52,720
Speaker 1: so their schedule gets considerably more difficult after playing the

1786
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 1: Jets this week at home. As far as the Raiders

1787
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 1: are concerned, know that they have the Broncos a little

1788
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,200
Speaker 1: bit further down the road, but they get Miami at

1789
01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:07,840
Speaker 1: home and they might be playing Jacoby Bursette and that

1790
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 1: pass rush for the Raiders has been pretty damn good

1791
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: the first two weeks, so that the Dolphins could offensive

1792
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 1: line could be seeing a lot more the same, but

1793
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,680
Speaker 1: what they saw this week from the Bills, and then

1794
01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:21,680
Speaker 1: they're at the Chargers, which is not going to be

1795
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:23,720
Speaker 1: an easy game because the Chargers, even though they're only

1796
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 1: one and one and lost on a last second field

1797
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:32,240
Speaker 1: goal yesterday from fifty six yards, they've putten putting points

1798
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 1: up on the board each of the first couple of

1799
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:37,920
Speaker 1: weeks here. But you know, we talk about how tough

1800
01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:40,400
Speaker 1: it was for the Bills to stomach their Week one defeat.

1801
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 1: Here is the Chargers all high and mighty after winning

1802
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 1: in Week one and then they lose on a fifty

1803
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 1: six yard field goal at the gun to the Cowboys. Yeah,

1804
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: just a reminder of how games can go and how

1805
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:58,040
Speaker 1: things can change at the last minute, at the last second,

1806
01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 1: kind of like they did for the Kids City Baltimore

1807
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 1: Ravens game. I mean, you were thinking that that was

1808
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game, that it was the Ravens game. Then

1809
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 1: then whose game is it gonna be? As times as

1810
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 1: time was expiring when they chose to go for that

1811
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:17,280
Speaker 1: fourth and one, But yeah, heartbreaking loss to lose on

1812
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:21,640
Speaker 1: a big field goal fifty six yard or play so

1813
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 1: well for four quarters or almost four quarters and to

1814
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 1: lose on a play like that is always tough, something

1815
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 1: you don't want to see, especially when you think, hey,

1816
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:35,200
Speaker 1: we can start the season two and oh m, and

1817
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:38,680
Speaker 1: with Justin Herbert's play. I mean, last year he had

1818
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 1: he had a really great rookie season and people are wondering,

1819
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 1: year two, is this kid for real? Is he the

1820
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:48,839
Speaker 1: type of quarterback that the Chargers are happy that they drafted.

1821
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 1: And he's proving that in the first two weeks. His

1822
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 1: numbers may not be what they were in some games

1823
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:58,200
Speaker 1: last year, but again, teams have tape on Justin Herbert

1824
01:40:58,240 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: now and to see him do what he what he's

1825
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:02,640
Speaker 1: done in the first two weeks of the season, the

1826
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:06,600
Speaker 1: Chargers have their guy. Yeah. There was one game that

1827
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:09,760
Speaker 1: did go to overtime yesterday. That was the Titans and

1828
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:16,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks up in Seattle. And I gotta tell you,

1829
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:18,800
Speaker 1: you look at Seattle, You're like, all right, well, they're

1830
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:21,519
Speaker 1: probably more likely to get into field goal range sooner

1831
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 1: than the Titans are with the way Russell Wilson's been

1832
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:26,800
Speaker 1: airing out the ball, and that just was not the

1833
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,799
Speaker 1: case yesterday. The Titans just gave it to Derrick Henry

1834
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 1: and he just ran rough shot over that defense, which

1835
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:35,800
Speaker 1: is not what it used to be, and they got

1836
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 1: a field goal at the end and win the game.

1837
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:41,160
Speaker 1: And I think I read this, Mike Vrabel, head coach

1838
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 1: of the Titans, is now five and oho as head

1839
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: coach of the Titans in overtime games. Sheeez, that's a

1840
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:51,960
Speaker 1: crazy stat. That's a hard stat to get to, to

1841
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:56,519
Speaker 1: be five and oh in overtime. The Titans they know

1842
01:41:56,600 --> 01:41:59,559
Speaker 1: how to win in close games. Derrick Henry thirty five

1843
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: a ten for one hundred and eighty two rushing yards,

1844
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:07,679
Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns, and tannehilp through for almost three hundred

1845
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 1: and fifty yards cheese, and the Bills have them on

1846
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 1: their schedule later in the season. They lost to this

1847
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:18,839
Speaker 1: team last year and a game that was so weird

1848
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:21,760
Speaker 1: the game had to get pushed because the times we're

1849
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:25,640
Speaker 1: dealing with COVID nineteen issues. They had an outbreak on

1850
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 1: their team. This is a game that the Bills want

1851
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 1: to have this year when they play this team, But

1852
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 1: it's tough to get by a group and offense that

1853
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 1: has Derrick Henry a part of it, someone who can

1854
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 1: easily run for almost two hundred rushing yards in a game. Yeah,

1855
01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 1: and the Titans entered this game with some adversity before

1856
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 1: the game even started. Their left tackle Taylor Lawan suffered

1857
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:55,559
Speaker 1: a knee injury in pregame warmups and missed the entire game.

1858
01:42:55,920 --> 01:43:00,439
Speaker 1: So they were going in with arguably without their best

1859
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:04,679
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, and still they just give it to Henry

1860
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:07,479
Speaker 1: and stuff happens. I don't know. I mean, I know

1861
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:11,160
Speaker 1: they got a J. Brown and other guys, but man,

1862
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 1: that was just they just grind out victories. I don't

1863
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,639
Speaker 1: know how they do it. But you know, you mentioned

1864
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 1: how the Titans are on the Bill schedule, Maddie, And

1865
01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this, Coach McDermott and his staff,

1866
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:26,920
Speaker 1: they're not going to have to do anything in the

1867
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 1: way of motivation that week, because if anybody thinks that

1868
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: this Bill's team forgot about the forty two to sixteen

1869
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:39,000
Speaker 1: butt whooping that they had to endure last year in

1870
01:43:39,080 --> 01:43:45,639
Speaker 1: Week five, they remember. Just rest assured they remember that

1871
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:47,360
Speaker 1: game from last year, and they will be going in

1872
01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 1: with a ton of motivation to make good on what

1873
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 1: went so bad for them last year. I mean, they

1874
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 1: were a victim of circumstance, you know, with the game

1875
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 1: being moved around and everything, and then they had the

1876
01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 1: unfortunate turnover. The ball is a little behind and John

1877
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: Brown on a pass, he tips it with his hand

1878
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:04,760
Speaker 1: reaching back trying to get it, ends up as an interception.

1879
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 1: It's going the other way. A lot of things didn't

1880
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: go their way that night, but they are going to

1881
01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:12,479
Speaker 1: be supremely motivated to get what is probably going to

1882
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:16,040
Speaker 1: be a much needed AFC victory because we know that

1883
01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:20,600
Speaker 1: comes up early in the tiebreakers, and something tells me

1884
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:22,760
Speaker 1: they're going to need that one, especially after losing that

1885
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:26,439
Speaker 1: first AFC game last week against the Steelers. They're still

1886
01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 1: playing a little bit of catchup, even though they even

1887
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 1: their record at one and one. Sam Darnold not doing

1888
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: two shabby, Maddie. It's two and oh now. And you

1889
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: know what. You know what's interesting about the Carolina Panthers is, yes,

1890
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 1: he's got a great back in McCaffrey who kind of

1891
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 1: balances out the offense for him automatically. But he's making

1892
01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:49,519
Speaker 1: enough plays in the passing game to put points on

1893
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:54,000
Speaker 1: the board, and he's got what looks like a pretty

1894
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 1: impressive defense helping him out on the other side of

1895
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 1: the ball. I don't want to pat myself on the

1896
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: back yet, Maddie. But I remember when we were doing.

1897
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 1: I can't remember what show we were doing, but I

1898
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 1: know we did it together and we were talking about Oh,

1899
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:08,600
Speaker 1: I know what it was. It was like a roundtable

1900
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 1: and we were picking a game on the Bills schedule

1901
01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:16,640
Speaker 1: that we thought could be a sneaky one. And I

1902
01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: can't remember. Oh. Eric picked the Washington game because he

1903
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:22,559
Speaker 1: was talking about Fits and now we wants to see

1904
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: if Fits come back to Buffalo, and now we know

1905
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:27,679
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen because he's injured. I cannot

1906
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:29,679
Speaker 1: remember for the life of me which game you picked.

1907
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:33,960
Speaker 1: And I picked Carolina in Week fifteen as a sneaky

1908
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 1: game that could present more problems to the Bills than

1909
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:38,680
Speaker 1: we think. And I think it's because their defense is

1910
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:42,919
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. Yeah, they do have a good defense.

1911
01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:48,160
Speaker 1: I started Jamis Winston yesterday in one of my fantasy leagues,

1912
01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:50,759
Speaker 1: and I think he got me like only six points.

1913
01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:52,559
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking, this guy through a lot

1914
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:54,960
Speaker 1: of threw a lot of touchdowns in his first game,

1915
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 1: I might as well start him against the Panthers, a

1916
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: team who I don't know, but their defense did play well,

1917
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 1: yesterday they only allowed seven points. Sam Darnold threw for

1918
01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 1: over two hundred passing yards in the first half. This

1919
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:13,719
Speaker 1: is a quarterback who I mean, I thought, whatever team

1920
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 1: he goes on to next, it's new life for him.

1921
01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:23,599
Speaker 1: Throw everything that happened in your first two years behind

1922
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:27,640
Speaker 1: you and start fresh. And he's done that on the Panthers.

1923
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he finished twenty six of thirty eight for

1924
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:34,920
Speaker 1: over three hundred yards, did throw an interception, But the

1925
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 1: way that he started on this new team, the new

1926
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:42,520
Speaker 1: life that he has, he's showing why he was drafted

1927
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,640
Speaker 1: in the first round. I think he's a talented quarterback

1928
01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:49,320
Speaker 1: and I think he's playing for the right group. Yeah,

1929
01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:52,599
Speaker 1: And the thing that's interesting to me is the way

1930
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:57,800
Speaker 1: that Carolina has tried to build this defense up. They

1931
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 1: have invested, much like the Bills, along their defensive front,

1932
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: with high draft choices, Derek Brown being the most notable.

1933
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:08,439
Speaker 1: He was like a top five pick at Auburn a

1934
01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:12,720
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And then they also got the

1935
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:15,559
Speaker 1: pass rusher from Florida State and I'm trying to look

1936
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 1: it up right now, Brian Burns. He was a first

1937
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 1: round draft choice, and then they pick up some free

1938
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:25,240
Speaker 1: agents like Daquan Jones and Hassan Reddick, who Matt Rule,

1939
01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:27,240
Speaker 1: the head coach there, knows because he coached him in

1940
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:31,320
Speaker 1: college at Temple. And they're using like a wide alignment

1941
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:33,639
Speaker 1: with the defensive ends to let their athletes rush off

1942
01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 1: the edge in space and they've just been an effective defense.

1943
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:40,439
Speaker 1: And then Jeremy chin is to do everything safety. It's

1944
01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:43,519
Speaker 1: kind of like a hybrid player who's reaking havoc on

1945
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 1: the back end. And we know that. Just this past spring,

1946
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:48,639
Speaker 1: they drafted J. C. Horne, the corner out of South

1947
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 1: Carolina in the first round. Also, so they've been loading

1948
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 1: up on the defensive side of the ball and it's

1949
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:57,479
Speaker 1: starting to pay dividends for them. And we already mentioned

1950
01:47:57,479 --> 01:47:59,439
Speaker 1: the talent they have on offense. So I think that

1951
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 1: could be a sneaky team late in the season for

1952
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: the Bills. But that game's that is a home game,

1953
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 1: I think for the Bills. It's up here. Yeah, that's

1954
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,560
Speaker 1: a home game. It's it's our I think it's the

1955
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 1: game that could be flexed for us. That's right, it's

1956
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,160
Speaker 1: a TBD game, you are right, So yeah, maybe we

1957
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: get a little advantage there and some colder weather with

1958
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, a Southern team coming up here. We'll take

1959
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 1: anything we can get um and obviously know Josh Allen

1960
01:48:27,040 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald are good buddies. So it's gonna be

1961
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:31,840
Speaker 1: a game with some more storylines that I think people

1962
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:35,640
Speaker 1: are anticipating based on how they look coming out of

1963
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:38,000
Speaker 1: the gate through the first two weeks. All Right, we

1964
01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:40,799
Speaker 1: mentioned there was a quarterback injury in the AFC South

1965
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:45,599
Speaker 1: and that is Carson Wentz who got ragdalled by Aaron

1966
01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:49,360
Speaker 1: Donald in that game. And I tell you, I saw

1967
01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: the replay of the injury and I was like, oh, man,

1968
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:54,960
Speaker 1: ankles don't bend that way. And now we find out

1969
01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 1: today it's not just his right ankle, Maddy, they're checking

1970
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:03,120
Speaker 1: both ankles that are injured for Carson Wentz. And I mean,

1971
01:49:03,200 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but you know, his game,

1972
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 1: we know has tailed off in recent years from the

1973
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:12,559
Speaker 1: MVP form it appeared to have in twenty seventeen. But man,

1974
01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 1: staying on the field is his biggest problem lately. Yeah,

1975
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 1: poor guys suffers a preseason injury and it's like, oh,

1976
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 1: we might not see Carson Wentz until like week three

1977
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 1: or week four, and then he rehabs. So quickly and

1978
01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:30,080
Speaker 1: so well that he's back on the field to start

1979
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 1: the season and now this happens to him. It seemed

1980
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 1: yesterday that that tool was the first guy to go down,

1981
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,919
Speaker 1: and then it was kind of like a domino effect

1982
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:44,600
Speaker 1: across the league for quarterbacks who came out of the

1983
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:51,240
Speaker 1: game in Indianapolis. They're unlucky right now at that quarterback situation.

1984
01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean, hopefully Carson is going to be okay, but

1985
01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 1: checking out both ankles after Aaron Donald I saw it too,

1986
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean the yeah, it didn't look that good. Yeah,

1987
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:05,560
Speaker 1: it looked like a classic high ankle sprain, especially the

1988
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 1: way he was walking in the area of his ankle

1989
01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:10,719
Speaker 1: that he was feeling. And high ankle sprain is tough

1990
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 1: and it's usually like a four to six week injury,

1991
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 1: dependent on the severity. And then after that you had

1992
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:20,400
Speaker 1: another injury at quarterback. I don't know how disappointed Bears

1993
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 1: fans were with the injury, but Andy Dalton had a

1994
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:26,160
Speaker 1: knee injury. It was initially feared like he had an

1995
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: ACL tear or something. That is not the case. Those

1996
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:33,720
Speaker 1: tests were negative, so that's the good news. And Matt

1997
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:36,960
Speaker 1: Naggie has even gone so far as to say, when

1998
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:39,400
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is healthy, whether it's this week or any

1999
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:44,200
Speaker 1: other week, he remains the starting quarterback, to which Chicago

2000
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:50,559
Speaker 1: fans let out a collective groan. Oh, they're just waiting

2001
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields and for when it's going to be

2002
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:57,120
Speaker 1: his time to take over that team. I heard it

2003
01:50:57,200 --> 01:51:00,760
Speaker 1: from my family saying, all right, let's let's get this

2004
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 1: guy in and let's make him the starting quarterback. Why

2005
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 1: are they still saying that Andy Dalton is the starting quarterback.

2006
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:08,920
Speaker 1: He's injured right now. We don't know what his status is.

2007
01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 1: But yeah, interesting situation in Chicago, that's all I'll say.

2008
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a matter of when, not if. But

2009
01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:21,559
Speaker 1: it looks like Matt Nage is pretty resolute in playing

2010
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:26,200
Speaker 1: Dalton until he's convinced that Justin Fields is going to

2011
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 1: give him a better chance to win than Andy Dalton.

2012
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's a hard one to figure.

2013
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:33,920
Speaker 1: And you know, look, we're not in practice every day.

2014
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:37,600
Speaker 1: We don't see those things where coaches are constantly evaluating

2015
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 1: their players, most notably their quarterbacks, to see who gives

2016
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 1: them the best chance to win. So I guess we

2017
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 1: give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not so sure,

2018
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:48,320
Speaker 1: Chicago fans are as eager to do that, but we'll

2019
01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 1: just have to wait and see where that goes. The

2020
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:57,479
Speaker 1: Cardinals are two and oh got a little lucky against

2021
01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:01,880
Speaker 1: the Vikings because the Vikings are lining up to kick

2022
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 1: a game winning field goal, which by the way, was

2023
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 1: called good by the Minnesota announcer, and then he realized

2024
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:12,400
Speaker 1: it didn't go in and was wide right and had

2025
01:52:12,439 --> 01:52:15,200
Speaker 1: to take it back. I feel bad for those that

2026
01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:17,840
Speaker 1: were listening on the radio in their cars in Minneapolis

2027
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,800
Speaker 1: somewhere because they were probably like, yes, we win, and

2028
01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:22,080
Speaker 1: then it's like, what do you mean he missed it?

2029
01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:26,320
Speaker 1: You said it was good. But the Cardinals escape with

2030
01:52:26,479 --> 01:52:32,000
Speaker 1: a comeback thirty four thirty three win and Kyler Murray

2031
01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:35,720
Speaker 1: four hundred yards passing, three touchdowns, two picks. He also

2032
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,599
Speaker 1: had a rushing touchdown, so he accounts for four total

2033
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 1: touchdowns in that game and they win thirty four to

2034
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 1: thirty three. Wow. Yeah. People who have Kyler Murray on

2035
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:51,240
Speaker 1: their fantasy teams lucky. I wish he was on one

2036
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:53,000
Speaker 1: of my fantasies. I had him last year and I

2037
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 1: loved him growing the football. Jeez, four hundred passing yards

2038
01:52:57,760 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 1: and it's not like that field goal too was like

2039
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:02,600
Speaker 1: a fifty six yard or the one that determined the

2040
01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:05,960
Speaker 1: Chargers game. It was a thirty seven yard field goal

2041
01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 1: that was wide, right, I mean that's a range where

2042
01:53:11,040 --> 01:53:14,320
Speaker 1: as a kicker in the NFL you are making almost

2043
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:17,720
Speaker 1: every single one of those field goals. So, yeah, the

2044
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:21,639
Speaker 1: Cardinals definitely do escape and are lucky coming away from

2045
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:25,439
Speaker 1: that one and starting the season two. And oh yeah,

2046
01:53:25,439 --> 01:53:27,720
Speaker 1: before we get to break here, we wanted to get

2047
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:29,559
Speaker 1: back to some of your thoughts on the tweet sheet.

2048
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:31,559
Speaker 1: What was the most encouraging part of the Bill's win

2049
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:36,920
Speaker 1: over the Dolphins. Darryl says, I'd have to say that

2050
01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:40,559
Speaker 1: the running game is what's most encouraging because, regardless of

2051
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:43,760
Speaker 1: what people think, running the ball is still fundamental to

2052
01:53:43,880 --> 01:53:48,800
Speaker 1: winning period. Also, ajp and Essa and Greg Rousseau were

2053
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:52,679
Speaker 1: extremely encouraging because they gave me glimpses of what we need,

2054
01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 1: which are playmakers on the d line. What do you

2055
01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:59,839
Speaker 1: think about that, Darryl's thought on the run game, Maddie,

2056
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 1: still fundamental to winning, even in this era of air

2057
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:07,479
Speaker 1: it out football. Yeah, I mean you have to have

2058
01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:12,519
Speaker 1: at least some sort of rushing presence when you need to.

2059
01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:15,800
Speaker 1: You can't just say we're going to pass the ball

2060
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:19,960
Speaker 1: all the time. And I think as close as you

2061
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:23,200
Speaker 1: can get to that, that's what the Bill's offense represented

2062
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:26,640
Speaker 1: last year. You were about as close to we're just

2063
01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:28,840
Speaker 1: going to pass it all the time. They still ran

2064
01:54:28,960 --> 01:54:32,280
Speaker 1: the ball when they had to. Maybe weren't as effective

2065
01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:34,640
Speaker 1: as they wanted to be when they ran the ball,

2066
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:37,520
Speaker 1: and that's something that they go into the offseason looking

2067
01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:40,560
Speaker 1: to improve on, looking to get better on. And I

2068
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:43,120
Speaker 1: think in the first two games, I mean, you talked

2069
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:46,400
Speaker 1: about the attempts of rushing in the attempts of passing,

2070
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:50,840
Speaker 1: and they were about even there. That's not something that

2071
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:53,880
Speaker 1: we saw last year from this team. And so to

2072
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 1: decide to maybe commit to the run in the first

2073
01:54:56,920 --> 01:55:00,400
Speaker 1: two weeks because of the defense that you're possibly drawing

2074
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 1: or what you're looking at, it may not be the

2075
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:06,720
Speaker 1: same though. In Week three we're going up against another

2076
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:10,760
Speaker 1: really good defensive line. We don't know how effective the

2077
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:13,360
Speaker 1: Bills running backs will be running the ball, but you

2078
01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 1: draw a team who has a good secondary run the

2079
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more, and I do think they

2080
01:55:18,720 --> 01:55:22,360
Speaker 1: were effective. Yards per carry maybe could have been up

2081
01:55:22,440 --> 01:55:26,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more Devin Singletary popping off that forty

2082
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:31,120
Speaker 1: six yard rushing touchdown was was awesome to see to

2083
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:33,920
Speaker 1: start the game. Though. Yeah, and I'll say this, I

2084
01:55:33,920 --> 01:55:37,840
Speaker 1: think with respect to the running game, you just needed

2085
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:42,440
Speaker 1: to be a threat, like your identity, I think the

2086
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:45,720
Speaker 1: Bill's identity offensively, He's still throwing the football in Josh's

2087
01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:49,360
Speaker 1: arm and all of that, but I think you still

2088
01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 1: have to be a threat to run and I thought

2089
01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 1: yesterday was a really good example of that, Maddie, because

2090
01:55:55,080 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 1: when the passing game was not on point and not

2091
01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:04,000
Speaker 1: in for a span of about five possessions in the

2092
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:07,640
Speaker 1: second quarter, they were at least able to turn to

2093
01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:10,800
Speaker 1: their run game, and it served them in a way

2094
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:14,640
Speaker 1: that at least kept them afloat on offense. I guess,

2095
01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:18,640
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, it was obviously responsible

2096
01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 1: for the first touchdown on a great blocking scheme that

2097
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 1: was executed by the offensive line on the first possession,

2098
01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:27,600
Speaker 1: and then at the end of the game it was

2099
01:56:27,640 --> 01:56:32,120
Speaker 1: good enough to let them close out the game, particularly

2100
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:35,840
Speaker 1: in the goal to go situation. So I think that's

2101
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:38,600
Speaker 1: what the Bills have wanted all along, a running game

2102
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:41,280
Speaker 1: that is good enough where they can lean on it

2103
01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 1: when they need it, when other aspects of their offense

2104
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 1: are not working, and it's productive enough to keep them

2105
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:52,360
Speaker 1: on schedule in terms of down and distance, to leave

2106
01:56:52,400 --> 01:56:55,000
Speaker 1: the playbook open to all the other things that they

2107
01:56:55,000 --> 01:56:57,920
Speaker 1: can do in the passing game. The one thing I

2108
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:00,360
Speaker 1: want to see them do even more though going forward,

2109
01:57:00,720 --> 01:57:04,920
Speaker 1: especially against a good pass rushing team like Washington, who,

2110
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:08,000
Speaker 1: by the way, is eleventh in the league in sacks

2111
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:11,520
Speaker 1: per play the Bills are third, not for nothing. I

2112
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:15,680
Speaker 1: want to see some more use of play action against

2113
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,920
Speaker 1: this Washington defensive front, just to slow them down a

2114
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:23,400
Speaker 1: little bit. Well, you don't effectively use play action unless

2115
01:57:23,400 --> 01:57:26,879
Speaker 1: opposing defenses believe you can be effective running the football.

2116
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:28,920
Speaker 1: And I think what the Bills put on film this

2117
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:32,480
Speaker 1: past week is going to serve as enough of an

2118
01:57:32,480 --> 01:57:37,200
Speaker 1: example to Washington that, you know what, we can't just

2119
01:57:37,280 --> 01:57:39,600
Speaker 1: completely sell out to stop the pass. We have to

2120
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:41,640
Speaker 1: respect this run game. Look at what they did against

2121
01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:45,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and I think that will serve them well

2122
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 1: going forward and will help them sell play action more

2123
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:50,960
Speaker 1: effectively to maybe open up some of those deep shots

2124
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:53,880
Speaker 1: down the field that we really through two weeks haven't

2125
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:57,360
Speaker 1: seen a whole lot of yet Maddie, Yeah, I agree,

2126
01:57:57,400 --> 01:57:59,840
Speaker 1: you work in some of that play action than a

2127
01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:03,200
Speaker 1: team the way that they prepare for you is completely different.

2128
01:58:03,280 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 1: You're adding another wrinkle into how a team prepares to

2129
01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:09,400
Speaker 1: go against you. You have to account for the run

2130
01:58:09,440 --> 01:58:11,200
Speaker 1: as much as you're going to account for the past.

2131
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:13,800
Speaker 1: I think all of our opponents know that at the

2132
01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:16,280
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're a passing team. But if

2133
01:58:16,320 --> 01:58:19,400
Speaker 1: you add a little bit more of the run game

2134
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:24,320
Speaker 1: as a threat, it's gonna add up to Once the

2135
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,440
Speaker 1: whistle blows and you're in the game, you can probably

2136
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:29,400
Speaker 1: do a little bit more, like you said, to open

2137
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:32,520
Speaker 1: up something down the field that we haven't seen as

2138
01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 1: much of to start the season. And Josh Allen also

2139
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:39,480
Speaker 1: hasn't been that consistent with in terms of passes that

2140
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:43,280
Speaker 1: are fifteen or more yards. He hasn't hit on many yet.

2141
01:58:43,440 --> 01:58:46,320
Speaker 1: He's thrown some, but he has yet to hit on

2142
01:58:46,440 --> 01:58:48,680
Speaker 1: more than a few. Yeah, I actually saw some of

2143
01:58:48,720 --> 01:58:53,000
Speaker 1: the numbers. He's four of seventeen on passes of fifteen

2144
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:57,000
Speaker 1: air yards or more through two games, and those were

2145
01:58:57,040 --> 01:59:00,280
Speaker 1: his numbers in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. He raise

2146
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:04,160
Speaker 1: them up to forty eight and a half percent last season,

2147
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:06,800
Speaker 1: so you know he's going to be aiming to get

2148
01:59:06,840 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 1: those numbers back in that vicinity rather than hover around

2149
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:14,280
Speaker 1: where they were as a first and second year player.

2150
01:59:14,520 --> 01:59:16,000
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

2151
01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:18,000
Speaker 1: come back, more your thoughts on the tweet sheet, and

2152
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:21,400
Speaker 1: maybe a little time for some NFL true false Mannie

2153
01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:23,360
Speaker 1: and I back with you in a few minutes here

2154
01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:25,360
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. It's

2155
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:38,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, final half hour here on

2156
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:41,760
Speaker 1: a Bills victory Monday. Chris Brown, Mandy Glad with you,

2157
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:46,320
Speaker 1: and we want to wrap up some of your comments

2158
01:59:46,360 --> 01:59:49,040
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet because we've had some good responses

2159
01:59:49,080 --> 01:59:52,880
Speaker 1: in terms of what part of Sunday's performance left you

2160
01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:58,120
Speaker 1: most encouraged about the Bills going forward, and Jack says

2161
01:59:58,160 --> 02:00:01,200
Speaker 1: it's the defense as a whole. For the second week,

2162
02:00:01,240 --> 02:00:04,080
Speaker 1: the d showed up and made life difficult on the opposition.

2163
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Both Pittsburgh and the Fish struggled to run the football.

2164
02:00:07,720 --> 02:00:11,440
Speaker 1: The pass rush is now showing up. Epinessa was a

2165
02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:15,600
Speaker 1: beast yesterday. Groot and Oliver looked great. Milano was all

2166
02:00:15,600 --> 02:00:18,960
Speaker 1: over the place, and the DBS locked it down as

2167
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:23,240
Speaker 1: we said, Maddie, it was a complete defensive effort. What

2168
02:00:23,320 --> 02:00:24,960
Speaker 1: do we make of the run defense? Though? And the

2169
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:28,480
Speaker 1: only reason I asked that is because obviously the game

2170
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:31,560
Speaker 1: got lopsided on the scoreboard in a hurry yesterday, so

2171
02:00:31,560 --> 02:00:33,920
Speaker 1: he wouldn't expect the Dolphins to run a whole lot

2172
02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:35,640
Speaker 1: at that point, as they have to go to the

2173
02:00:35,680 --> 02:00:37,760
Speaker 1: air to try to climb back into the football game.

2174
02:00:37,880 --> 02:00:41,600
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to take yesterday's run defense with a

2175
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:45,000
Speaker 1: little bit of a grain assault, knowing the circumstances of

2176
02:00:45,080 --> 02:00:49,520
Speaker 1: the score on the board may have impacted some of that. Yeah,

2177
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean they allow seventy one rushing yards. Last year,

2178
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:56,800
Speaker 1: I think at one point in the season the Bills

2179
02:00:56,840 --> 02:01:01,120
Speaker 1: were over allowing one hundred rush yards a game, and

2180
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:04,880
Speaker 1: so I think to stay under one hundred rushing yards

2181
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:08,080
Speaker 1: a game in terms of what you're allowing is something

2182
02:01:08,080 --> 02:01:10,960
Speaker 1: that's good to see. Now. Yes, maybe they didn't run

2183
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:14,120
Speaker 1: the ball as much in the second half, but for

2184
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:17,000
Speaker 1: our run defense to play the way they're playing again

2185
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:19,520
Speaker 1: right out of the gate, when last year this is

2186
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:22,600
Speaker 1: something they struggled with. Right out of the gate, teams

2187
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:26,520
Speaker 1: were running all over our defense, who had really good

2188
02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:30,000
Speaker 1: running backs. You would see that in their stack column

2189
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:32,400
Speaker 1: after we played them, their rushing yards would be up.

2190
02:01:33,040 --> 02:01:35,400
Speaker 1: That was a big question for this team and for

2191
02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:39,520
Speaker 1: the interior of our defensive line is the run defense,

2192
02:01:40,640 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 1: and I think it's showing up. I think it's also

2193
02:01:44,520 --> 02:01:47,400
Speaker 1: because of Ed Oliver and some of our defensive linemen

2194
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:50,120
Speaker 1: that are doing a really good job on the interior

2195
02:01:50,880 --> 02:01:54,720
Speaker 1: this season to not allow big run plays and to

2196
02:01:54,840 --> 02:01:59,400
Speaker 1: not allow that side of the stack column to get

2197
02:01:59,560 --> 02:02:03,440
Speaker 1: stacked up in numbers. Yeah, Now passing to rushing was

2198
02:02:03,520 --> 02:02:05,560
Speaker 1: better than a two to one ratio for the Dolphins,

2199
02:02:05,600 --> 02:02:07,840
Speaker 1: obviously because of the way the game went through at

2200
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:10,520
Speaker 1: forty four times, ran at twenty times, average just three

2201
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:13,800
Speaker 1: point six per carry against the Bills, which is probably

2202
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:17,400
Speaker 1: one of the lower per carry averages that the Bills

2203
02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:21,720
Speaker 1: have been able to hold their opponents too in probably

2204
02:02:22,080 --> 02:02:25,200
Speaker 1: a while. I'm sure there are some examples from last season,

2205
02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:28,640
Speaker 1: but they weren't there. There were few and far between,

2206
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:33,240
Speaker 1: to be frank. And you look at the halftime stats.

2207
02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:35,680
Speaker 1: They had carried at twelve times in the first half,

2208
02:02:36,040 --> 02:02:38,480
Speaker 1: averaged three point two yards to carry, had thirty eight

2209
02:02:38,560 --> 02:02:41,440
Speaker 1: rushing yards. It's almost an even split. First half to

2210
02:02:41,520 --> 02:02:43,760
Speaker 1: second half, because they finished the game with seventy one

2211
02:02:43,800 --> 02:02:46,200
Speaker 1: rushing yards and their average for the game is three

2212
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:49,080
Speaker 1: point six. That's a good day. I mean, I don't

2213
02:02:49,080 --> 02:02:50,640
Speaker 1: care which way you slice it, don't care what the

2214
02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:53,640
Speaker 1: score is on the board. And I think Jack's right

2215
02:02:53,680 --> 02:02:55,920
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. The run defense has shown up

2216
02:02:56,120 --> 02:03:00,800
Speaker 1: their seventh in the league, and run defense and rush

2217
02:03:00,920 --> 02:03:06,000
Speaker 1: average their eighth, So they're right where they need to be. Now.

2218
02:03:06,680 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 1: When they faced the Tennessee Titans and they got Derrick

2219
02:03:08,800 --> 02:03:11,760
Speaker 1: Henry coming at him, yeah, that'll be probably a more

2220
02:03:11,800 --> 02:03:13,880
Speaker 1: accurate measuring stick. How are you going to handle one

2221
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,880
Speaker 1: of the best rushing teams in football? The last couple

2222
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:19,800
Speaker 1: of times they've played him, it hasn't been Derrick Henry

2223
02:03:19,800 --> 02:03:23,440
Speaker 1: that's beaten them, I should say last year, because the

2224
02:03:23,480 --> 02:03:26,200
Speaker 1: year before they did beat them fourteen to seven, and

2225
02:03:26,440 --> 02:03:28,800
Speaker 1: I think they held Derrick Henry under eighty five yards

2226
02:03:28,880 --> 02:03:31,400
Speaker 1: rushing and he had about twenty carries. So they did

2227
02:03:31,440 --> 02:03:34,400
Speaker 1: the job against him. In twenty nineteen. If this defense,

2228
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:36,840
Speaker 1: which I think at least out of the gate, looks

2229
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:41,640
Speaker 1: like it's more closely representing the twenty nineteen Bills defense,

2230
02:03:42,240 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 1: they might be all right when they go down there

2231
02:03:44,880 --> 02:03:48,240
Speaker 1: in week six. So we'll have to wait and see,

2232
02:03:48,320 --> 02:03:51,720
Speaker 1: but I think the early signs are certainly encouraging Tick.

2233
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:54,920
Speaker 1: On the tweet, Chet says, without question, it's the pass rush.

2234
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Rousseau was supposed to be the project and Boogie was

2235
02:03:57,520 --> 02:04:00,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be NFL ready looks like Rousseau as ahead

2236
02:04:00,400 --> 02:04:04,120
Speaker 1: of schedule. What a difference it makes having a healthy Milano.

2237
02:04:04,240 --> 02:04:08,800
Speaker 1: His play is so crucial. He makes everyone more effective.

2238
02:04:09,360 --> 02:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, he was all over the field yesterday, Mattie,

2239
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:14,080
Speaker 1: and I know he didn't have all of the crooked

2240
02:04:14,160 --> 02:04:17,240
Speaker 1: numbers in the defensive categories, but he had a fumble recovery,

2241
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:20,320
Speaker 1: He was all around the quarterback. He was moving him

2242
02:04:20,360 --> 02:04:23,560
Speaker 1: off his spot and pushing him into opportunities for sax

2243
02:04:23,640 --> 02:04:28,320
Speaker 1: for other defensive teammates. Yeah. And the point that Tick

2244
02:04:28,360 --> 02:04:32,000
Speaker 1: made about having a healthy Matt Milano add a healthy

2245
02:04:32,040 --> 02:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds into there. I think that was the difference

2246
02:04:35,680 --> 02:04:39,320
Speaker 1: last year for this defense in some games was missing

2247
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Matt Milano and missing Tremaine Edmunds. They are such an

2248
02:04:43,920 --> 02:04:47,000
Speaker 1: important part of this defense. A lot of the times

2249
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:49,640
Speaker 1: we only have two linebackers on the field. And so

2250
02:04:49,960 --> 02:04:52,960
Speaker 1: those two linebackers really need to show up in every

2251
02:04:52,960 --> 02:04:56,880
Speaker 1: single play, and Matt Milano has been huge in that

2252
02:04:56,960 --> 02:05:00,080
Speaker 1: in the last few season a few seasons and without

2253
02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:03,800
Speaker 1: him last year it was obvious, just like without Starlow

2254
02:05:03,880 --> 02:05:08,120
Speaker 1: to Lelee, it was obvious why this defense missed those

2255
02:05:08,120 --> 02:05:10,640
Speaker 1: players so much when they weren't a part of it. Yeah,

2256
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:13,320
Speaker 1: and think about last year Week two Bills at Miami

2257
02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:17,400
Speaker 1: no Tremaine Edmonds, no Matt Milano, and Miami hangs twenty

2258
02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:19,440
Speaker 1: eight points on the Bills. I mean, they still lost,

2259
02:05:19,560 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 1: but they were a much more effective offense with those

2260
02:05:22,200 --> 02:05:25,120
Speaker 1: two guys out of the equation. Jay Matt on the

2261
02:05:25,120 --> 02:05:28,520
Speaker 1: tweet sheet says, the defense as a whole, they showed

2262
02:05:28,600 --> 02:05:30,400
Speaker 1: up for the second straight week. Now, if Josh can

2263
02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:32,760
Speaker 1: turn it around and be more like the twenty twenty

2264
02:05:32,840 --> 02:05:35,520
Speaker 1: Josh than the twenty nineteen Josh, we should be in

2265
02:05:35,560 --> 02:05:37,880
Speaker 1: store for a hell of a ride. Now. I'm gonna

2266
02:05:37,880 --> 02:05:41,280
Speaker 1: say this, Maddie about Josh's play. I think the number

2267
02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:45,040
Speaker 1: one message I got out of yesterday's game was the

2268
02:05:45,160 --> 02:05:50,000
Speaker 1: defense can play well enough to help them win a

2269
02:05:50,040 --> 02:05:53,600
Speaker 1: football game even when Josh is not at his best.

2270
02:05:54,120 --> 02:05:56,680
Speaker 1: That was the biggest message I took away from yesterday's game.

2271
02:05:56,680 --> 02:05:59,440
Speaker 1: If the defense can continue to play that way, they

2272
02:05:59,480 --> 02:06:01,960
Speaker 1: can win games for this team instead of having to

2273
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:05,080
Speaker 1: rely on Josh's arm on a day where he may

2274
02:06:05,120 --> 02:06:09,080
Speaker 1: not be at his best, and that that's a valuable thing.

2275
02:06:10,840 --> 02:06:13,440
Speaker 1: And we didn't have that last season. I felt like

2276
02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:17,640
Speaker 1: when Josh struggled and when the defense didn't show up,

2277
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:22,000
Speaker 1: it was it led to a loss. We didn't have

2278
02:06:22,120 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen defense last season. It's showing up now

2279
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:30,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, which is great. Josh Allen doesn't

2280
02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:35,040
Speaker 1: have to hang three hundred and fifty yards and four

2281
02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the scoreboard every week if we have a

2282
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 1: defense who can shut out different teams, maybe not on

2283
02:06:42,800 --> 02:06:45,800
Speaker 1: the scoreboard shutout, but shut out teams in terms of

2284
02:06:46,520 --> 02:06:52,560
Speaker 1: forcing turnovers, forcing fumbles, four thound stops, red zone efficiency.

2285
02:06:53,080 --> 02:06:56,800
Speaker 1: So I'm liking what we're seeing out of this defense

2286
02:06:56,840 --> 02:06:58,560
Speaker 1: as a whole in the first two weeks, and I

2287
02:06:58,640 --> 02:07:00,920
Speaker 1: don't think it's too early to say this could be

2288
02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 1: a really defense, really good defense for the entire season. Yeah,

2289
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:08,280
Speaker 1: and Bill's dad seven one six echoes that because he

2290
02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:12,240
Speaker 1: voted for clutch defensive plays. Alan and the offense were

2291
02:07:12,280 --> 02:07:14,120
Speaker 1: off to a slow start, but we'll hit their stride

2292
02:07:14,120 --> 02:07:16,600
Speaker 1: and get back to twenty twenty four. With a defense

2293
02:07:16,640 --> 02:07:18,640
Speaker 1: like this and knowing what our offense is capable of,

2294
02:07:18,760 --> 02:07:22,200
Speaker 1: this team is primed to make some serious noise. Let's

2295
02:07:22,280 --> 02:07:25,960
Speaker 1: go Buffalo. The other one that I wanted to throw

2296
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:28,600
Speaker 1: in here from Super kind of made me laugh the

2297
02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:31,280
Speaker 1: tear so he said, what was the most encouraging part

2298
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:35,520
Speaker 1: of the victory on Sunday? The tears and anguished lamentations

2299
02:07:35,560 --> 02:07:39,680
Speaker 1: of the Finns fans after their complete and total obliteration.

2300
02:07:39,960 --> 02:07:45,560
Speaker 1: It brightens my soul. Nothing bates taking enjoyment out of

2301
02:07:45,560 --> 02:07:49,640
Speaker 1: the anguish of the opponents fans, And apparently Super was

2302
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:55,240
Speaker 1: fully on board with that. So that'll wrap up the

2303
02:07:55,280 --> 02:07:57,880
Speaker 1: tweet sheet there. Did want to get to some NFL

2304
02:07:57,960 --> 02:08:00,080
Speaker 1: true false, Maddie, which as you know, is brought to

2305
02:08:00,120 --> 02:08:04,320
Speaker 1: you by Yancy's fancy New York's artists in Cheese, and

2306
02:08:04,480 --> 02:08:10,680
Speaker 1: we begin with NFL true false Number one. Jets desperately

2307
02:08:10,760 --> 02:08:15,600
Speaker 1: need to sign a veteran quarterback. Now, as you know, Maddie,

2308
02:08:15,640 --> 02:08:18,800
Speaker 1: they chose not to do that, although I believe they

2309
02:08:18,840 --> 02:08:21,560
Speaker 1: have Josh Johnson on the practice squad right now who

2310
02:08:21,640 --> 02:08:24,080
Speaker 1: joined them midway through training camp. But what do you

2311
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:26,640
Speaker 1: think about that they desperately need to sign a veteran QB?

2312
02:08:26,800 --> 02:08:29,840
Speaker 1: True or false? I mean, I think it would be

2313
02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:33,280
Speaker 1: good to have a veteran quarterback on your team, just

2314
02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:36,040
Speaker 1: because you never know when you're gonna need a backup

2315
02:08:36,120 --> 02:08:39,800
Speaker 1: quarterback to step in in case Zach Wilson goes out.

2316
02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:42,680
Speaker 1: We saw it yesterday with Tua. Jacobe Brossette came into

2317
02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:46,960
Speaker 1: the game. I think this is your quarterback, Jets. I

2318
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:50,040
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a good quarterback. I'm not too

2319
02:08:50,080 --> 02:08:53,520
Speaker 1: worried about him, even though he threw four interceptions against

2320
02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:57,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots yesterday. It's early on in his career, so

2321
02:08:57,720 --> 02:08:59,880
Speaker 1: I just give him a second. It's gonna take a

2322
02:09:00,080 --> 02:09:03,120
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit of time to get into

2323
02:09:03,160 --> 02:09:05,280
Speaker 1: and to grow into the player he's gonna be and

2324
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:08,360
Speaker 1: that this team wants him to become. It took time

2325
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:12,720
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen, so just just hold the brakes there

2326
02:09:12,760 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 1: for a second. But yeah, I think it would be

2327
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:20,720
Speaker 1: valuable to sign a veteran quarterback desperately. I don't know

2328
02:09:20,800 --> 02:09:24,400
Speaker 1: if desperately needs to be in there, but I'm saying true, Yes,

2329
02:09:24,640 --> 02:09:28,920
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback on your team would maybe help you

2330
02:09:28,960 --> 02:09:32,560
Speaker 1: out when you need one. Yeah, I mean, I guess

2331
02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:35,520
Speaker 1: the only reason I'm kind of I've got mixed feelings

2332
02:09:35,560 --> 02:09:38,920
Speaker 1: on this is because I kind of have a sense

2333
02:09:38,960 --> 02:09:42,720
Speaker 1: as to what Robert Sala's plan is this year. It's

2334
02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:46,720
Speaker 1: gonna be baptism by fire, not only for the rookie quarterback,

2335
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:49,360
Speaker 1: but for a lot of his defensive backs. He's got

2336
02:09:49,400 --> 02:09:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot of first year players, a lot of rookies

2337
02:09:51,800 --> 02:09:54,200
Speaker 1: that are starting on the back end of that defense.

2338
02:09:54,320 --> 02:09:57,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna make mistakes too, and get beat for big plays,

2339
02:09:57,480 --> 02:10:02,800
Speaker 1: for touchdowns, miss out interception opportunities. But it almost looks

2340
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:06,560
Speaker 1: like Robert Sala is saying, Hey, this is going to

2341
02:10:06,600 --> 02:10:10,160
Speaker 1: be one of those growing years where we're probably not

2342
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:11,840
Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of games. We're gonna come out

2343
02:10:11,880 --> 02:10:14,480
Speaker 1: on the short end, but we're gonna get a lot

2344
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:19,760
Speaker 1: of valuable experience on the field by playing our young players. Now,

2345
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:23,320
Speaker 1: could Zach Wilson's play gets so bad to the point

2346
02:10:23,360 --> 02:10:26,640
Speaker 1: where he's got to pull him off the field and

2347
02:10:26,640 --> 02:10:29,440
Speaker 1: just put somebody else in I suppose. I mean, Mike

2348
02:10:29,480 --> 02:10:33,800
Speaker 1: White is technically the backup here, and I'm taking a

2349
02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:37,880
Speaker 1: look at their practice squad, and I don't know what

2350
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:40,440
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson is on the practice squad, so they have

2351
02:10:40,520 --> 02:10:43,040
Speaker 1: him sitting there if they really feel they need to

2352
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:45,360
Speaker 1: turn to him. So because of those reasons, for now,

2353
02:10:45,960 --> 02:10:50,040
Speaker 1: I will say false. The only other true false. We

2354
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:54,640
Speaker 1: have time for Maddie is in season. Hard knocks is

2355
02:10:54,640 --> 02:11:00,160
Speaker 1: an unneeded distraction for the Colts true or false. I

2356
02:11:00,160 --> 02:11:02,800
Speaker 1: don't think it's much of a distraction. I mean, teams know,

2357
02:11:03,280 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 1: teams are around media coverage every single day. I think

2358
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:09,560
Speaker 1: having hard Knocks around isn't going to be a huge

2359
02:11:09,640 --> 02:11:13,040
Speaker 1: distraction if they let it not be a huge distraction.

2360
02:11:13,240 --> 02:11:17,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm saying false. It's it's not a big distraction.

2361
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:20,920
Speaker 1: These players know how to play with cameras and how

2362
02:11:20,920 --> 02:11:23,680
Speaker 1: to be around cameras. Yeah, I tend to think that's true.

2363
02:11:23,720 --> 02:11:25,840
Speaker 1: I think if it's a distraction, it's a distraction more

2364
02:11:25,920 --> 02:11:28,120
Speaker 1: for the coaches because now they've got to take the

2365
02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:30,120
Speaker 1: time to review the tape and say, yeah, I don't

2366
02:11:30,120 --> 02:11:32,040
Speaker 1: want that in there. Yeah, I don't want that in there.

2367
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:34,440
Speaker 1: That's got to go on the cutting room floor. So

2368
02:11:34,600 --> 02:11:36,600
Speaker 1: I think it just takes time away from the coaches, who,

2369
02:11:36,600 --> 02:11:38,320
Speaker 1: as we know, during the regular season, don't have much

2370
02:11:38,320 --> 02:11:41,600
Speaker 1: time anyway for their families, let alone to talk to

2371
02:11:41,640 --> 02:11:46,200
Speaker 1: some Hard Knocks producer from HBO. So I will say

2372
02:11:46,240 --> 02:11:49,040
Speaker 1: for the players, and I'm assuming we're asking this question

2373
02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:51,040
Speaker 1: on behalf of the players, so I will say false too.

2374
02:11:51,040 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 1: They're used to cameras. As Maddie said, for the coaches,

2375
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:55,560
Speaker 1: it might be a different story. All right. That's NFL

2376
02:11:55,600 --> 02:11:58,000
Speaker 1: true false, brought to you by Yanti's Fancy break time

2377
02:11:58,040 --> 02:12:00,480
Speaker 1: for us. But Mandy and I will close it up next,

2378
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:04,360
Speaker 1: and I've got an interesting percentage to hand out to

2379
02:12:04,400 --> 02:12:07,440
Speaker 1: Bills fans now that the Bills have even their record

2380
02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:09,400
Speaker 1: at one and one. We'll tell you what that is

2381
02:12:09,400 --> 02:12:11,480
Speaker 1: when we return here on One Bills Live, presented by

2382
02:12:11,520 --> 02:12:24,120
Speaker 1: Kalada Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back

2383
02:12:24,160 --> 02:12:27,680
Speaker 1: to one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Maddie Glad closing it

2384
02:12:27,760 --> 02:12:31,160
Speaker 1: up here on a Bills victory Monday. So, Maddie, I

2385
02:12:31,200 --> 02:12:34,280
Speaker 1: saw a write up on some of the O and

2386
02:12:34,400 --> 02:12:38,240
Speaker 1: two teams in the league, which includes Minnesota, after their

2387
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:41,280
Speaker 1: heartbreaking missed field goal at the end of the game

2388
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:45,480
Speaker 1: losing a one point game to Arizona, and the writer

2389
02:12:45,640 --> 02:12:49,160
Speaker 1: basically said, while there's plenty of football left and their

2390
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:52,760
Speaker 1: season's not over, the postseason essentially is for these teams,

2391
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:55,960
Speaker 1: and here's why. And they cited the statistic that said,

2392
02:12:56,320 --> 02:12:58,080
Speaker 1: if you start oh and two, you only have an

2393
02:12:58,080 --> 02:13:01,720
Speaker 1: eleven point six percent chance to make the playoffs based

2394
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:05,920
Speaker 1: on the few What the outcomes were for all of

2395
02:13:05,920 --> 02:13:08,480
Speaker 1: the NFL teams that started oh and two since nineteen

2396
02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:11,920
Speaker 1: ninety Now, I think that numbers probably a little bit

2397
02:13:11,960 --> 02:13:15,320
Speaker 1: different now because you have one extra playoff seed in

2398
02:13:15,360 --> 02:13:18,640
Speaker 1: each conference and you're playing one extra regular season game

2399
02:13:18,680 --> 02:13:20,720
Speaker 1: to kind of make up for whatever happened in the

2400
02:13:20,720 --> 02:13:23,560
Speaker 1: first two weeks. But the Bills are now one and one,

2401
02:13:24,640 --> 02:13:27,000
Speaker 1: and the percentages of those teams making the playoffs is

2402
02:13:27,040 --> 02:13:30,280
Speaker 1: forty one point six winning the division is twenty three

2403
02:13:30,320 --> 02:13:34,040
Speaker 1: point eight percent, and winning the Super Bowl is two percent.

2404
02:13:34,760 --> 02:13:38,440
Speaker 1: How does that grab you? I did not want to

2405
02:13:38,440 --> 02:13:40,600
Speaker 1: start the season O and two. I knew if we

2406
02:13:40,640 --> 02:13:43,760
Speaker 1: started O and two there were games that maybe you

2407
02:13:43,800 --> 02:13:45,880
Speaker 1: look on the schedule and are like, Okay, this could

2408
02:13:45,920 --> 02:13:48,360
Speaker 1: be a loss. Those are games that now turn into

2409
02:13:48,440 --> 02:13:53,000
Speaker 1: possibly must wins according to how your record is when

2410
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:56,000
Speaker 1: you play these teams, so I'm glad they have at

2411
02:13:56,080 --> 02:13:58,840
Speaker 1: least one win under their belts right now. I asked

2412
02:13:58,840 --> 02:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Steve on the post game show. Well, not on the

2413
02:14:01,440 --> 02:14:03,680
Speaker 1: postgame show. It was during a commercial break. I said,

2414
02:14:04,040 --> 02:14:07,280
Speaker 1: in your Super Bowl runs, did you guys ever start

2415
02:14:07,560 --> 02:14:10,800
Speaker 1: and one? He said, no, but we did lose some

2416
02:14:10,920 --> 02:14:14,080
Speaker 1: early games that maybe we weren't supposed to lose. So

2417
02:14:14,120 --> 02:14:16,240
Speaker 1: he said, the fact that the Buffalo Bills were able

2418
02:14:16,280 --> 02:14:18,840
Speaker 1: to win and this one is big. All right, we

2419
02:14:18,880 --> 02:14:20,720
Speaker 1: gotta rap Maddie and I tomorrow. We'll see you then,
