Speaker 3: Steve.

9
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: But we were out of practice today because it was

10
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: a little earlier than usual.

11
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, what a day it was. It's a great day.

12
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: You feel like it could be George Hamilton with one

13
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: of those mirror things tanning yourself.

14
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 4: Spectacular day, believable beauty.

15
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: And you're getting to peak fall foliage season as well.

16
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: For those well, because you ask the faithful listeners, I

17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: this is not for you, but the faith faithful viewers,

18
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 4: of which there's a couple. You might notice our sets

19
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: a little different today.

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and got to do downing.

21
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 4: Yeah. If Brownie and I come off with a little

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 4: bit uncertain, it's because we have a new desk that

23
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: we're sitting at and it's.

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: A little tighter. It's not quite as expansive.

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: You can even the camera angles are tighter for it.

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: I mean we're it's so just bear with us today.

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: It's for old guys like me. It's kind of disconcerting.

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 4: So I'll just put it out.

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: He doesn't take a change, exceptionally.

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 5: Changing.

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: What give me a cloud that I can yell out,

32
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: yell at you know?

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Uh, we want to get right to him,

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: so we will tell you that. Bill's practice updates are

Speaker 2: presented by LEECO or Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine,

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: And there is news on the Bill's injury report and

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: in terms of who is practicing most of it good.

38
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Two Bills defensive players who have been out of the

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: lineup the last few weeks are trending toward returning to

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 2: the team for Sunday Night's matchup against the Patriots. At

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: Oliver and Matt Malono both practicing again today. Both were

42
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: limited on Wednesday. We'll see what their practice participation is

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: on the Thursday injury report, which comes out later today.

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: Right tackle Spencer Brown, also practicing for a second straight

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: day after missing last week's game with a calf injury.

46
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: Also listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's report. Jackson

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: Hawes was a new ad with an ankle injury. Did

48
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: practice on a limited basis Wednesday, out there again today,

49
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: so it looks like he, though a little hobbled, should

50
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: be okay to play on Sunday. Dorian Williams Dorian Strong

51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: both not practicing today. We'll see what Strong's injury is

52
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: because he's a new absence. He practiced yesterday. Presumably he

53
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: got a little nicked up in practice yesterday. But again

54
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: we'll have to refer to the Thursday injury report to

55
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: see what's going on there. But Dorian Williams not looking

56
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: good for Sunday's game, missing a second straight day of

57
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: practice with a what the heck was it? I want

58
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: to say it was a leg injury. Let me look

59
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: it up real quick. I just want to make sure

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: everybody has the proper information here. It is a knee injury,

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,880

137
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: it's a little sentimental. I spend a lot of time there.

138
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm real familiar with the staff, familiar with the guys there,

139

Speaker 2: I've maintained a relationship with. Looking forward to seeing them play.

141
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: It's going to be a little bit emotional. I try

142
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: to keep the main thing the main thing. But it's

143
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: my first time back there. It's going to be a

144
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: hell of an atmosphere. I was part of that for

145
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: a long time, played there before I got there, so

146
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: I'm excited. It's the nature of the business. Obviously it

147
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: was hard for me. It was a difficult time. Spent

148
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: a lot of time there, built a lot of friendships.

149
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: Going to be hard and emotional, So for me, I

150
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: look forward to going back and seeing those guys. It's

151
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: a division game. All the things outside of that me

152
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,600

155
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: for that city, the fan base, and even the players.

Speaker 2: We still take jabs at each other and support each other,

157
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: but it's going to be so nice to see those guys.

158
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: I try to be professional, but I still hold them

159
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: near and dear to my heart. Football means a lot

160
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: to me and the guys that I spend a lot

161
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: of time with over there. I'm going to give them

162
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: a big hug. Oh isn't that nice? Wow, he's lying.

163
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: Through his teeth.

164
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: He wants he wants to destroy it on Sunday Day.

165
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: It's probably all of that's true, but he also wants

166
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: to catch, you know, four touchdowns for two hundred and

167
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: ninety yards of receiving on twenty two catches or whatever.

168
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 6: You know.

169
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: So, yeah, how does that grab you? Hearing all of

170
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: that thing, I am on, I'm mostly genuine.

171
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 4: I am impressed.

172
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: He's good at saying the right thing pressed.

173
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: Yes, publicly. That is an incredibly well phrased speech to

174
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 4: put out on in the you know media.

175
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: He's trying to trying to offen this team up. That's

176
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 2: what he's trying to do.

177
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: It's a it's very well said. You got to you

178
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: gotta keep your hat. I say, okay, there's not much

179
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: in there you can grab and say, oh yeah, he

180
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: knows how.

181
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: To play the game.

182
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: There's nothing like that. Well, let's face it, this is

183
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 4: one team there are and there's no team is like this.

184
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: But you don't want to poke the bear before you

185
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: play them. And not only did he not do, man,

186
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: he was rubbing their tommy and giving him a shoulder

187
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 4: rub there right, giving him some candy too. Yeah, here's

188
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: some Yeah, that was you want some sweet treats? That

189
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: was softening up.

190
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's trying to soften up the team. Hopefully nobody's

191
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: buying it.

192
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: Well, he that was I gotta say that was impressive.

193
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: That was an impressive and exactly what you want to

194
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 4: say to a team you're about to face that you

195
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: have played for for Just wonderful bunch of guys. Hold

196
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: him near and dear all that. Come on, curious to

197
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 4: see how that gamesmanship. Oh yeah, man, come on, I.

198
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: Am curious to see how the fans will receive him,

199
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: because I think what is undeniable is in the regular seasons,

200
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: he was extraordinarily productive for this team. I mean, he

201
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: was first team All Pro I think in twenty twenty.

202
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: That's when he had the fifteen hundred yard season.

203
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: One hundred and twenty seven catches.

204
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's had over eleven hundred yards in every year

205
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: he played for the Bills. Receiving playoffs were a different

206
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: story kind of Shrank didn't know his show up in

207
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: the playoff games and probably a lasting memory for Bills

208
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: fans since it was the last thing he did on

209
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: this field in a Bill's uniform was dropped that deep

210
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: pass against the Chiefs late in that divisional playoff game.

211
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Josh put it right in his hands, right

212
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: over his shoulder, and that's where you expect your number

213
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: one wide out to make a play.

214
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: And he he made double digit harder catches than that

215
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: during his time he was Buffalo too. I mean, that's

216
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: something that was like, it was like, of course, no brainer,

217
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 4: and it just but that one hurt. It just didn't happen.

218
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 4: And there you go.

219
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: And I wonder how much this organization, in seeing him

220
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: being unable to show up and show out and dominate

221
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: in the postseason for this team the way he did

222
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: in the regular season helped shape their new philosophy of

223
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: we don't need a number one, We need four or

224
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: five B plus to A minus receivers rather than an

225
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: alpha male A plus receiver, and we might be a

226
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: better offense for it. This started the shift, I believe,

227
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: the philosophical shift at receiver.

228
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: Well, certainly it was a tangible sign that that's where

229
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 4: they were headed, no question, But he was traded two

230
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 4: months later. Right, whether it was a philosophical shift or

231
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: whether it was done by necessity, they made the most

232
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: of it. They made, you know, chicken salad out of it,

233
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: out of a situation where they weren't going to have

234
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 4: a number one. They took remember they took a step

235
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: back that they pur.

236
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: Well, everybody thought they were going to take a step

237
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: they're off, but it but.

238
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 4: It wasn't just It wasn't just Steph Diggs, it was Poyer,

239
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: it was Hide, it was all they they purged the raw.

240
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: Everybody's like, that's this is the year when the Bills

241
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 4: were going to be third in the division, maybe fourth.

242
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: Everybody thought, Wow, this is gonna be terrible this last year,

243
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 4: and they were gonna go with just these guys every

244
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: and then they came up with this mantra. Everybody eats

245
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 4: and everybody's like, yeah, yeah, you just you know.

246
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: You can't win without a number one.

247
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: You're remoothing, Yeah, you're smoothing.

248
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: Over it, win without a number one.

249
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 4: Receive you're trying to make. You put a positive spin

250
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 4: on a bad situation that you've got, you're not doing

251
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 4: And all of a sudden they were right. And so

252
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that it was a deliberate philosophical shift,

253
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: were one that was done by necessity that turned out said,

254
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 4: you know what, we did it right, And they and

255
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 4: they kept it going.

256
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: I think there was intention to it. I will I

257
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: will believe that until I'm no longer on this earth.

258
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: There was marked intention to shift their approach in the

259
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: passing game, where they said, look, we've got a number

260
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: one guy and he's ultra productive in the regular season,

261
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: but he gets taken away in the postseason and we

262
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: don't have another answer. And instead of replacing that guy

263
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: with another number one, let's just be better across the

264
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: board and receiver. Let's go receiver and the C and

265
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: D receiver. Let's have an A, B plus, B plus

266
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: and B receiver and see if we're better. And I

267
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: think they have been, and more importantly, they're more difficult

268
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: to defend because it's not just one guy where you

269
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: know the ball is going to on a guy to

270
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 2: have it down. It could be anybody. Good luck defending that.

271
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: I can get on board with the deliberate no Number

272
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 4: one wide receiver because one of the one of the

273
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: things that always kind of circled around the team, never

274
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 4: really let it get out there. This has a lid

275
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: on it. Yeah, they kept a lid on any talk

276
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: of Steph being a problem in the locker room. Players

277
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 4: love Josh loved him as teammates. Let they all loved him.

278
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: It was all honky dory. But I know this number

279
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 4: one receivers. Part of the job, I hate to say it,

280
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 4: like this, part of the job description is being a

281
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: problem child. You gotta whind for the ball. Look at

282
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 4: AJ Brown.

283
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna get to that.

284
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: He's latest example, right they you gotta like you gotta

285
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 4: stand up every practice, every and certainly during every game,

286
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 4: and stars saying hey, throw me the ball, throw me

287
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: the ball, throw me the ball, throw me the ball.

288
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: Shut up, throw me the ball. You know, And it's

289
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, it's every and that's part of

290
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: the job description. You can't be a number one unless

291
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: you're kind of that guy. And that's a problem. And

292
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: I've got to live with it.

293
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: And let's not forget there were a healthy number of

294
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: cryptic tweets that were sent out so by him. And

295
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: look look at this. AJ Brown is doing the same thing. Now.

296
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: I think I think the Bills were done with that.

297
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: That's right.

298
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: And they said, if we don't have a number one

299
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: receiver that goes away.

300
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: That's right. In appetuity, that's right. Yes, Now here's here's

301
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: what I think. They are a better offense for it well,

302
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: stat wise and scoring wide. The points on the board

303
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: will tell you yeah, they are. And it's it's very

304
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: simple why it works. Defenses are built to stop number ones.

305
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 4: They they they know they're gonna get one. And then

306
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 4: so they got this number one corner. They're gonna have

307
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 4: Jalen Ramsey follow the guy around. They're gonna have Trent

308
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: McDuffie or McDuffie follow the guy around. They're gonna have

309
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 4: their number one corner, Steph Gilmour, they're gonna follow him around,

310
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: right right. It goes all the way back to Darrell Reeves.

311
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 4: They're gonna have Durell follow the guy around. Take him away.

312
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: We've got that guy, all right. Well, now you're gonna

313
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 4: you're not gonna stop an A one, A big alphab is.

314
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: You're gonna stop a B receiver. Fine, but we've got

315
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: your cornerback. Number two is maybe just as good as

316
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 4: our number two guy. Probably it's a toss up. Your

317
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 4: number three guy is not anywhere close to our number

318
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: three guy. Your linebackers are nowhere close to covering our

319
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 4: backs tight ends. We're going deep and we'll throw them

320
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 4: to all those guys and nobody's gonna squawk about it.

321
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 4: Let's see what you can do. And you know, thirty

322
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 4: points a game later. The Bills are right, and these

323
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: defenses are trying to catch up.

324
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: Yep.

325
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: I mean they they came out against that defense last

326
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: week in the Saints and tore them up when they

327
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: tried to play man.

328
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: There's too much for them to hand us on the

329
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: board in a wink.

330
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: They they can't handle it.

331
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: Go.

332
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 4: They can't go man. They cannot play man. And if

333
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 4: they're gonna go zone, they better get pressure against a

334
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: really good offensive line because if they don't, they're gonna

335
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: pick you. They're gonna carve you up. They will carve

336
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 4: you up. So, yeah, this new offense and all this stuff,

337
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 4: and this number one.

338
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: Receiver or lack thereof.

339
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't think anybody. You don't think any other

340
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 4: guy on this like James Cook. You think he's gonna

341
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: sit out there and even in his contract situation, is

342
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: gonna squawk, squawk, squad because he they don't need anybody.

343
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: They'll just get another three guys to replace me. There

344
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 4: they go. I'll be out of work. I mean, you

345
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 4: get what you earn in this offense, no question about it.

346
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: James Cook has done his Offensive Player of the month awesome,

347
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: But man, oh man, things are different here in Buffalo

348
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 4: than they are are the places. And for whatever reason,

349
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 4: whether it's philosophical difference, because maybe it's because of the quarterback,

350
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 4: maybe it's because of the running back. Maybe it's because

351
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 4: of the offensive line, or maybe it's because of the

352
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 4: head coach an offensive coordinator, don't matter, it's different.

353
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of a one alpha receivers, Eagles receiver aj Brown

354
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: took responsibility Wednesday for letting his frustrations boil over Sunday

355
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: and stated that his post on social media wasn't directed

356
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 2: at anyone inside the Eagles building, including quarterback Jalen Hurtz.

357
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: Brown declined to speak with the media after the win

358
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: over Tampa last week, in which he finished with two

359
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: catches for seven yards on nine targets. Two catches seven

360
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: yards on nine targets doesn't sound like the play caller

361
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: is the problem, or maybe even the quarterback. Short time later,

362
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: after not talking to reporters, he posted a quote from

363
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 2: the Bible on social media. If you're not welcomed, not

364
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 2: listen to quietly withdraw don't make a scene, shrug your

365
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: shoulders and be on your way. Cryptic tweets been a

366
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 2: quiet start for the season for Brown. Fourteen catches, one

367
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty one yards and a touchdown on twenty

368
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: eight targets. That's a fifty percent catchwade for those keeping

369
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: score at home, and the Eagles rank thirty first in

370
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: passing at one hundred and thirty eight yards per game.

371
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: They're also four and.

372
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's if.

373
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: That's that's where an a one alpha male receivers. That's

374
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: that's right comes, that's right. A problem.

375
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: It's a problem if anybody, and in a medium market

376
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 4: like Philly, have fun with up squawks when you're four

377
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 4: and oh, they become garbage. They are garbage. You cannot

378
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 4: squawk when your team's four and o it, it's garbage.

379
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 4: I mean, nobody's got time for theft. Nobody's got patience.

380
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: For that philosophical shift.

381
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 4: Not it is. It is indefensible to squawk or say

382
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 4: anything or be whatever, pout it's to pout.

383
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: Aj Brown would tell you he's not doing any of that.

384
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: He's just making an innocuous statement not directed in anybody.

385
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: On social media.

386
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: You can say that. Now. It's too late, bro, too late,

387
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 4: your garbage. You can't squawk when you four and o.

388
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: They twenty four to twenty twenty seventeen, twenty thirty three

389
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 4: to twenty six, thirty one to twenty five, they're all

390
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 4: one score.

391
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: Games, still winning.

392
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 4: Shut up, yeah, do not. You can't do it. They

393
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: needed him on he had a game. He's had one

394
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: game at least where they needed him and he came through.

395
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 4: That's that's life, man, that's life.

396
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: The Baltimore Ravens remained tight lifted about whether injured quarterback

397
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson has a chance to play in Sunday's pivotal

398
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: game against the Houston Texans. Ravens are one and three

399
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: on the season. On Wednesday, Jackson did not practice because

400
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: of the hamstring injury suffered in Sunday's loss to Kansas

401
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: City last week. The Baltimore Sun is reporting that Jackson,

402
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: according to sources, is going to miss two to three

403
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: weeks of action. When asked if there was a determination

404
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: on Jackson's availability for Sunday, coach John Harbaugh said the

405
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: team is taking all the numerous injuries day by day. Then,

406
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: when asked if Jackson is considered day to day. Harbass said, quote,

407
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: how about I just don't say anything. That's what I

408
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: would do. Why don't we just leave it alone? End quote.

409
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: If he's day to day, he's acknowledging he's day to day.

410
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: So I don't think he's.

411
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 4: Day to day. Well he's not. He's Steve.

412
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: It was my job for eighteen years in between the line.

413
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: He's not dayed out. He has not. But they're being

414
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: very cryptic on purpose.

415
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: It's gamesmanship. Yes, he ain't playing.

416
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 2: There's no way he's playing.

417
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 4: If he's not practicing, he's not gonna play.

418
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: Speaking of short handed teams, the San Francisco's forty nine

419
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: ers offense will be even more shorthanded than it already

420
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: has been in the season's opening month when they play

421
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: the Rams in La Tonight on Thursday Night Football. The

422
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: Niners have ruled out quarterback Brock Perty with a toe injury,

423
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: and receivers Juwan Jennings and Ricky pearsall with rib, ankle

424
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: and knee injuries, as well as Jordan Watkins with a

425
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: calf injury. Those updates are in addition to a list

426
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 2: of players already out of the lineup. Tight end George Kittle,

427
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 2: hamstring Brandon Ayuk, who hasn't played all this season coming

428
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: back from a knee injury. Best of luck to the

429
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: Niners there. The Rams are rolling right now.

430
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll take a huge effort in LA.

431
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 2: Not that LA is a great home field advantage, but yeah,

432
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

433
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's on the rout's not very far on the

434
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 4: road either, San Francisco down to LA. But and these

435
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 4: two teams are very familiar with each other. That'll keep

436
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: it a little closer. That'll help. But yeah, it's it.

437
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: It's the same as it's a little bit like the

438
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 4: game we've got here on Sunday night with the Bills Patriots.

439
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: San Francisco needs to make it a rock fight.

440
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: And they don't even have Nick Bosa, who's out for

441
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: the year too, right.

442
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 4: The Patriots need to come in here and get in

443
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 4: the way of the offense and score some points and

444
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 4: just up the game.

445
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: That's what they're gonna do.

446
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 4: Draw penalties the whole thing, Maybe get a turnover. That's

447
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 4: what San Francisco's got to do in LA because LA.

448
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 4: You're right, Browning, they're.

449
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: Rolling right, They're humming Washington Commander's quarterback Jaden Daniels has

450
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: been medically cleared to return, so it looks like he

451
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: is going to play Sunday against the Chargers. Coach Dan

452
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: Quinn said Daniels will be considered a full partarticipant in

453
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: the practice this week. He was limited last week. Daniels said, quote,

454
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: I plan on going out there on Sunday. Daniels is

455
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 2: still wearing a brace on his left knee in practice.

456
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: He said he does not like wearing the brace, but

457
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: if that's what he has to wear, then he'll do it.

458
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: Daniels missed the last two games with that spring knee

459
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: that he suffered in Week two, So that's an important

460
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: return to the lineup for Washington going against the Chargers

461
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 2: team that's looking to rebound after last week's unexpected loss

462
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 2: to the winless Giants.

463
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 4: The thing for me, and it's impossible to do this,

464
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 4: I do it anyway, Okay. I compare injuries. Maxwell Harriston

465
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 4: sprained his knee in training camp like a weekend. That's

466
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: what Daniels did to his knee.

467
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 2: Well, we don't know if it's the same ligament damage

468
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: and everything.

469
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 4: Exactly, but we've seen this with Washington before with RG

470
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: three way back in the day when Snyder on the

471
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 4: team and Mike and Mike Shanahan was coaching the head

472
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 4: coach a different group. But I always do that because

473
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 4: it just seems every team handles stuff differently. And if

474
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: you've got a guy like Jaden Daniels who had the

475
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 4: kind of season he had last year, and I know

476
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 4: he got off to a little bit of a rocky

477
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: start as you would expect in a sophomore guy where

478
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 4: they stepped up in weight class. Now they got a

479
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: first play schedule, all of that stuff in the mix.

480
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: You can't risk that guy's long term health and ability

481
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 4: to play.

482
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's why he's missed the last two games,

483
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: because dan Quinn said, I'm not putting them out there

484
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: if he can't protect himself, meaning having enough mobility to

485
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: get out of trouble. He's a full participate in practice

486
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 2: this week. It kind of lends credence to the fact

487
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: that he's good enough to play. Now, he's not even

488
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: sure he's gonna wear a knee brace. We'll see what happens.

489
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

490
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, no Khalil Mack for the Chargers, so you

491
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: know there's a little less pass rush coming to him,

492
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: and the Chargers have their own problems. They don't have

493
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: either of their starting offensive t from the beginning of

494
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 2: the season.

495
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 4: It's all over the league. Man, it's crazy. The injuries

496
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 4: have been all over the league.

497
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: De intensive, even more extensive than we're used to seeing

498
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,960

Speaker 2: Well, I'll be there to speak on your behalf.

522
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe when you're gone too.

523
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: Oh jeez.

524
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,560

526
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 4: And it's awesome to be in that conversation. But obviously

527
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 4: I've been there for a long time and I'm I'm

528

Speaker 4: I'm okay with it. It's awesome to be in that conversation. Yeah,

Speaker 2: Twitter at one Bills Live. What is the biggest concern

563
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: for you when the Bills host the Patriots is that

564
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: they're running back duo of Ramandre Stevenson and Trevion Hendrick.

565
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: Is it the Drake May to Stefan Diggs connection, or

566
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: is it the Patriots number two ranked run defense, or

567
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: maybe it's something else. You let us know at eight

568
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: h three oh five fifty one, eight five fifty two,

569
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: five fifty and we lead off today with Ryan in Toronto.

570
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 4: What's up?

571
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 7: Ryan Testeeve love the show, all of the topic. Honestly,

572
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 7: I gotta say all three and I'll tell you why

573
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 7: run defense is really good for Patriots. Secondly, I think

574
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 7: Stefan Dicks had a really good game last week and

575
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 7: Bake May and they think they may go off and hope,

576
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 7: I hope the secondary for the Bills is ready for it.

577
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 7: And they also got Nat Collins coming back and he

578
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 7: was going a touchdown last week as well. I know

579
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 7: it's a mean, meaningless touchdown, but regardless and Patriot's defense

580
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 7: they gave up. They had five tonners against the Pittsburgh Seelers,

581
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 7: then hill A Rodgers eighty yards to the second half

582
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 7: and only they only lost by one touchdown. I'll tell

583
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 7: you something about the defensive Patriot really And the third

584
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 7: thing I want to talk about also, this game goes

585
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 7: sideways and somehow Patos pull up a win. Their next

586
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 7: schedule for the next three games for the Paintots are

587
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 7: pretty simple. They think they play a same Titans and

588
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 7: Browns and then you know by the time they this

589
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 7: game is huge. I think especially for AFS East title.

590
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 7: They might be coming coming for the East. Well that

591
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 7: might take guys, And yeah, I just know what that sounds.

592
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah we get it, Ryan, SAT's Titans and Browns, You're

593
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 4: and the Falcons. So it's yeah, you're right.

594
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: They're they're playing a last play schedule. They are a

595
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: three win team last year, so their schedule is going

596
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: to be soft. And yes, if they somehow find a

597
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: way to escape out of here with a win on

598
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: Sunday night, they'll only be a game back of the

599
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: Bills five weeks into the season, and their schedule is

600
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: even softer than Buffalo's, who's playing a first play schedule.

601
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: As we well know, I we have a a lot

602
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: of our regular listeners know we have a handful of

603
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: callers who call in regularly, Ryan from Toronto being one

604
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: of them.

605
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 4: It does not surprise me that all three of our

606
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: options worry Ryan.

607
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: He is one of our nervous nollgies.

608
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 4: Yes he is.

609
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: He is one to see problems, always fearing the worst.

610
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 4: And it was a good question. Brownie came up with

611
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 4: his topic today because I told him the first one

612
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 4: he came up with was stinky, so he came up

613
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: with a good one, and I agree.

614
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: Thank you for pushing me to be my best.

615
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 4: See I'm I'm here for you. The run defense bothers

616
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: me because it's part of what the Bills do. It's

617
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 4: a real big part of what the Bills do and

618
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 4: what they've been successful doing. The Bills run game run

619
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 4: defense has been suspect, and they got some guys Stevenson

620
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 4: and Henderson are They're a good tandem. It's one of

621
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: the things that their offense has done well. Drake May

622
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: and Steph Diggs not so much. But they're run. It's

623
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 4: the old thing, run and stop the run. The New

624
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 4: England Patriots do those things.

625
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: They have had trouble getting on track consistently game to

626
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: game with their rushing attack. But they have two talented backs.

627
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: And if you haven't fixed your tackling problem, Ramandre Stevenson's

628
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: gonna run you over and Treveon Henderson's gonna run away

629
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 2: from you. It's as simple as that. They are a

630
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: true thunder and lightning combination. And whichever more than just

631
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: scored his first career touchdown last week.

632
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 4: Whichever one gets going, you know they're gonna start feeding

633
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: him more and more.

634
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 3: So.

635
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 4: If Henderson's speed does it, that's who you're gonna see. Yeah,

636
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: and certainly the success that the Saints had last week

637
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 4: is going to be the first stop on their game

638
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: plan mission. So we'll see how it goes.

639
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: To Diane and Clarence next. What's up, Diane, Hey.

640
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 8: Guys, thanks for taking my call. I'm gonna throw a

641
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 8: lot at you because I tried getting in last week

642
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 8: and couldn't. But before I get into it, being my

643
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 8: concern for the game, Steve, congrats on the nomination there

644
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 8: with your name up there. It should be I have

645
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 8: your jery, A lot of people do, and I love

646
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 8: the take that guys just replayed showing all your spectacular

647
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 8: punt blocks and everything. You're definitely a number one special

648
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 8: teams guy. And that leads me into my concern is

649
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 8: special teams. And it often annoys me that when you

650
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 8: hear interviews across the NFL and there's the players talking

651
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 8: in their interviews postgame about, well, both sides of the ball,

652
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 8: our defense are off the offense. Special teams is so crucial.

653
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 8: It was crucial in the games on Sunday, and I

654
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 8: feel special teams has definitely not talked about amongst the players,

655
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 8: the teams, the media. That is a big deal. Our

656
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 8: special teams need to come up huge. Steve. I'd love

657
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 8: for you to come out of retirement and go back

658
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 8: and play because we need a guy like you there.

659
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 8: But my concern too is our tackling, our defense tackling.

660
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 8: We missed so many tackles last week. If we can

661
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 8: bring that in, make the tackles, we will be in

662
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 8: the game. But I think that's going to hurt us

663
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 8: and special teams needs to come up big. And lastly,

664
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 8: I think you guys need to have Judy on your

665
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 8: show because she has come become a celebrity everybody. So

666
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 8: I thank you guys for the call. Steve, You're awesome

667
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 8: and I'd love to see you guys in the tailgate.

668
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 8: Great new thing you have going on there. I'd love

669
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 8: to see you guys stopping at.

670
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: People's tailgates than Diane.

671
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 8: You're you're a buff guy. Your ways better watch out.

672
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 8: You better not be stopping it all the women's. You

673
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 8: won't make it back, all.

674
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: Right, Thanks, Iane, appreciate that.

675
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 4: That's It's a good call. Special teams, I think this

676
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 4: year have exploded back onto the scene in a big way.

677
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 4: Whether it's a trend and teams are, some teams are

678
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 4: taking advantage of it. Wilder's got left behind or whatever.

679
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 4: The rule changes certainly have something to say about it.

680
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 4: The kickoff return game has been different this year because

681
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 4: of the team's putting it into play. I think teams

682
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 4: got complacent in the last handful of years since they

683
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 4: did the standing start kickoff with putting just guys out there,

684
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 4: because they just kick it out of the end zone.

685
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 4: Everything was going to be a touch back. Just put

686
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 4: eleven guys out there. Let's just take the touch back

687
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 4: no more. You've got to put some guys out there

688
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 4: who know what they're doing and have a plan and

689
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 4: can execute it, or you're going to get the thing

690
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 4: run back down your face. So that is a real thing.

691
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 4: The special teams have become a real force in the league.

692
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 4: Round kick over, all over, kicks all.

693
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: Over and huge. I mean it's terming the outcoming games.

694
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: Philadelphia won a game with two block kicks.

695
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 4: We've seen teams win and lose the same way, and

696
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 4: it's been league wide. So I had there was There

697
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: hasn't been a rule change on the field goal field

698
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 4: goal defense that I'm aware of, So I don't know

699
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 4: why that all of a sudden exploded on us, but

700
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 4: it did. So Yeah, all across the board, special teams

701
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 4: has become.

702
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 3: A big issue.

703
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 4: I'll say this as well. I read this and to

704
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 4: you yesterday that there's an article out and they're handling

705
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 4: the balls on special teams. I'm talking about the actual

706
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 4: football that is used in the games. They are called balls, cables,

707
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 4: kicking balls. The teams get to use those during the

708
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 4: week and work on them and get them right for

709
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 4: the game. Now they they can't do it. Can't just

710
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 4: like mosh them and make them into watermelons. But they

711
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,959
Speaker 4: can handle those footballs and get them right for the game,

712
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 4: and sub consequently you're seeing guys hitting sixty plus yard

713
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 4: field goals. The ball's traveling a little further because it's

714
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 4: softer and it flies better, and if it gets the

715
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: more round it gets, and the better it is to

716
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 4: spend it.

717
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: Explain how it used to be though. They used to

718
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 2: get handed those balls on game day.

719
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 4: It used to be a brand new football out of

720
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 4: the box.

721
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: And they get handed in on game day. They get

722
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 2: a half hour before the game.

723
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they get like a half an hour to work

724
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 4: them over, and it's just not enough. So they were

725
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: kicking like a rock and it showed. Now the teams

726
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 4: get the kicking balls during the week. They scuff them up,

727
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 4: all of that.

728
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 2: And they throw them in a dryer, pull them around

729
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: in there.

730
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 4: They scrub them with mud literally mud, clay, mud, They

731
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 4: scuff them up, they you know, they whatever, they they

732
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 4: work them over so that they kick better. That's the

733
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 4: thing too. So Special Teams has come back a little

734
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 4: bit from the back burner to the front burner. This year,

735
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 4: teams are getting caught unaware of it. Any deficiencies you

736
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 4: have across your special teams, your coverage units is getting exploded, exposed.

737
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 4: And the bills have been I gotta say they've been

738
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: quite fortunate. Their their kicker's been hurt. They got a

739
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 4: replacement kicker, They've switched, they've switched punters, you know, and

740
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 4: while they have given up a couple of you know,

741
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 4: sizable returns, nobody's taking at the distance yet on them.

742
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 4: And they've got to had a chance now to they're

743
00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: getting better. That's a good call by Diane.

744
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 2: You're right, and a professional segue. She went from fawning

745
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: all over you about your special teams exploits and then

746
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: transitioned into her concerns about special teams this week. That's

747
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: a very professional segue by Dianne.

748
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 4: I'll say this as well about the other things she's

749
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 4: mentioned tackling. Tackling can be fixed, and it can get

750
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 4: fixed in a hurt.

751
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: And this coaching staff is good at course correcting players

752
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: when that when fundamentals fall by the.

753
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 4: Way, tackling and tackling can be fixed.

754
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there you go. Let's go to Dino in Ontario.

755
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 2: What you got for as Dino.

756
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 6: Hi, guys, of course I'll thank you for taking my call.

757
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 6: Really appreciate it. Scott, I mean, Scott, Jesus, You're a

758
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 6: fall of Famer in our book and Buffalo, You're a leader,

759
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 6: and you're always recognized as our speaker. My main concern

760
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 6: over this guys is simple, and it's been my main

761
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 6: concern throughout the last six six years. Is our coaching

762
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 6: Newingly that at one point came into town going about

763
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 6: three or four years ago on a really really bad

764
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 6: day when Belichick was still coaching, ran all over us

765
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 6: and we had no answers for that. Now, if our

766
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 6: coach does not learn from that, if our coaching staff

767
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 6: cannot stop these guys, what in the world makes us

768
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 6: think we can go to the super Bowl. If we

769
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 6: cannot out coach these guys, It all comes out to coaching.

770
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 6: You want to take the running game away from them,

771
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 6: Just score our will. We could score our will. We

772
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 6: have no reason, We have no reason for them to

773
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 6: dictate the game to us. We can score at will.

774
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 6: Let us dictate the game to them, and that has

775
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 6: been our biggest problem. We know we have secret plays

776
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 6: because last week in the organ the Saints game, they

777
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 6: played this, we sayed along along and then after we

778
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 6: had that little dumb past the Kincaid which thro through

779
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 6: neurans right out of the loop. So we know we

780
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 6: have trick plays in our little gift bag. Let's use

781
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 6: them in the beginning of the game. Take New England

782
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 6: and throw them into a different dimension. They want to

783
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 6: run the ball, You're not going to run the ball

784
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 6: to You're fourteen points behind. Get the lead on them.

785
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 6: Let's jump on them, and then we'll force them to

786
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 6: catch up to us. This all this is over, we

787
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 6: don't have to worry about their We don't have to

788
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 6: worry about nothing. We know that they're going to pass

789
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 6: the ball. A lot of passwatchers putting their years back

790
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 6: and go get them. Okay, hang up and listen to

791
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 6: you guys.

792
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 2: You know you make it sound awfully easy. And look,

793
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 2: last week they're what fourteen to three on the Saints.

794
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 4: Fourteen to seven.

795
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: I think either way they had an early lead on

796
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: the Saints and it didn't change them because it was

797
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: too early in the game for anybody to abandon the

798
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 2: run game. And I don't think most opponents right now

799
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: are going to stray from the run game until they're

800
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: down twenty one points or more, because you can run

801
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 2: on this team right now, and so teams are going

802
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: to be less apt to stray from the run game

803
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: if they fall behind, because I think they believe there

804
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 2: are still gains to be had against this team, which

805
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 2: is thirtieth or thirty first in run defense right now.

806
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: So until the Bills shore that up considerably, it's going

807
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: to be very hard to prevent teams from running the

808
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 2: football here, or at least trying to, even in games

809
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: where they're behind on the scoreboard. And look, you can

810
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: argue all you want about saving your trick plays, it's

811
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 2: not a trick play. It's a play they set up

812
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: through the course of the game. They throw to the

813
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 2: flat with decent regularity, and they had been doing that

814
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: in the game against the Saints, and so they show

815
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 2: that look later in the game, Hey, we're gonna.

816
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 4: Throw to the flat. They isolate.

817
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: Carl Granderson, a two hundred and sixty one pound end

818
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: on a tight end who gives the illusion that he

819
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 2: is blocking as he has on throws to the flat

820
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: the whole game, and releases down the sideline and he

821
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: is wide open with a receiver that also cleared out

822
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 2: the corner going into the post. So that's called setting

823
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 2: up a play for later in the game, and that's

824
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: why they happen later in the game. You've been working

825
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 2: all game to set up a play like that. To

826
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 2: do that in the first quarter probably wouldn't have as

827
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 2: much effectiveness as it does later in the game when

828
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 2: you've shown them that look previously. So there's a strategy

829
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: to when those plays show up all the time. It's

830
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: a lot of time. Dan Orlofsky called it play sequencing,

831
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 2: which McDaniels is very good at. For New England. We've

832
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: got to take a break here, more of your phone

833
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: calls when we come back here On a Thursday edition

834
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 2: of One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

835
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: Bills Radio. Heating Up and Cooling Down is presented by

836
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 2: t Mark Hvac and Plumbing, the official residential HVAC partner

837
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. Heating Up. Dalton Kincaid, who now

838
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 2: has three touchdowns in four games, three touchdowns in three

839
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 2: home games. Every time he has stepped on the field

840
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 2: here in Highmark Stadium this season, he has been good

841
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 2: for a touchdown. Had only one reception last week, but

842
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 2: it was a twenty eight yard touchdown, so really productive

843
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 2: for the Bills in the passing game and on the scoreboard.

844
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 2: Has scored a touchdown in every home game so far

845
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 2: this season. Cooling down tackling, Yeah, Buffalo's tackling has taken

846
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: a dip, certainly last week against the Saints, and we'll

847
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: see if they can get that course corrected for this

848
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: week's game against the Patriots.

849
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 4: I said in the last segment, tackling can be fixed

850
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 4: and it doesn't take long. We've always said, and it's

851
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 4: you can. You can chisel this in stone. No matter

852
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 4: where the league evolves to, if the first defender to

853
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 4: the ball makes the tackle, you're gonna have a number

854
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 4: one defense. Broken tackles are the key to having bad defense.

855
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 4: They didn't tackle well last week. Nope, and they've got

856
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 4: to fix it. But they will and they can.

857
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones at eight h three

858
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 2: zero five fifty eight eight five fifty two. We got

859
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: to pull up for you today at one Bills Live

860
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: on X We're asking you what is your biggest concern

861
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 2: when the Bills host the Patriots. Choices the running back

862
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 2: duo from Andre Stevenson and Traveon Henderson, the Patriots' number

863
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 2: two ranked run defense, or the Drake made Stefon Diggs

864
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 2: combination they went for one hundred and six yards. Last week,

865
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 2: we go back to the phones and to Greg in Plattsburgh.

866
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: What's up?

867
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 3: Greg?

868
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 6: Hey?

869
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 9: My level of stress for this game coming up is

870
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 9: I don't have any Are they going to make it stressful?

871
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

872
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 9: But I think the Bills are too smart and too

873
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 9: good to lose this game. I did have a hypothetical

874
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 9: question I've been wanting to ask you guys for a

875
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 9: couple of years now, and I'm going to ask it

876
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 9: and hang out. Okay, I was curious what you guys

877
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 9: thought STEVIEE. Johnson might look like in his prime with

878
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 9: this version of the Buffalo Bills.

879
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 2: Thanks. Oh okay? Interesting going across eras to match up players.

880
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 2: I mean, Stevie was the un questioned number one receiver

881
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 2: on those teams. You know we're talking twenty ten, eleven, twelve,

882
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: thirteen thousand yards and three consecutive seasons, led the team

883
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 2: in touchdowns probably two of those three years, as well,

884
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 2: an unconventional route runner as a receiver. How that would

885
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 2: fit with Josh Allen's play. Who was a put it

886
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 2: on you quarterback? I don't know. Stevie has always said

887
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 2: Fits had an uncanny knack of knowing his body language

888
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 2: to the umpteenth degree and would often throw a ball

889
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 2: before Stevie was out of his break because he knew

890
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: what he was going to do. I'm sure Josh Allen

891
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: could probably get a beat on that if they got

892
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 2: enough reps together. So I would say it'd be every

893
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: bit as productive, if not more so. But in the

894
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 2: everybody eats offense, maybe not.

895
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to say. I don't know. I'd have to,

896
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 4: there's no telling. It's hard. It's hard to crossover eras

897
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 4: like that. Yeah, Stevie would run an out route like everything,

898
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 4: but an out route. Once in a while he would

899
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 4: get to the spot spot where an out route would

900
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 4: have been by running an up and back and down and.

901
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 2: Out, you know what I mean, get to the landmark.

902
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 4: He'd get to the landmark, and he'd get there on time,

903
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 4: and he would be open. But he wouldn't run an

904
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 4: out route, you know what I mean. So, and Fits

905
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 4: had the ability just to just to trust him, and

906
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 4: if Stevie could work out that kind of trust with Josh.

907
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 4: I'm sure he could play because let's not forget you

908
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 4: don't have to be you know, Aj Brown or Jamar

909
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 4: Chase to play in this offense, right, I mean, they'll

910
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 4: find a spot for you. So, yeah, they would have

911
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 4: worked Stevie into the rotation.

912
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting question. Those are always hard to

913
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 2: nail down.

914
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 3: Though.

915
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 2: There is news concerning Lamar Jackson. According to Josina Anderson,

916
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: Jackson is not expecting to play Sunday against the Texans.

917
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 2: He's not practicing again today. He's not expected to play

918
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: next week either against the Rams unless he heals quickly.

919
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 2: The bye week is after that, so the anticipation is

920
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 2: that he will return to the lineup in Week eight

921
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 2: against the Bears and be healthy for the season without

922
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 2: any repercussions from the hamstring or you know, reaggravating it

923
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: or whatever. So it looks like they're taking a cautious

924
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: approach with Lamar. It makes sense, and I gotta tell

925
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: you it's a pretty bold decision to make, putting the

926
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: player's best interest first. They're playing the long game here

927
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 2: because they're one in three right now. Steve, with the

928
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 2: danger of going one in four to one and five

929
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: by the time they get to the bye. Yeah, leaves

930
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: you with very little margin for error.

931
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 4: But that's it's not just no, it's not just Lamar

932
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 4: Kyle Hamilton.

933
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 2: They're all per safety is not practicing today with a

934
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: groin injury. They're already without AVK for the season.

935
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 4: I think you lean on Derrick Henry, you toward offense.

936
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: He's gonna get it forty times tomorrow.

937
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, you're gonna get it forty times, and next

938
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,240
Speaker 4: week you're gonna get it fifty. You know against the Rams.

939
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 4: We got to keep that offense off the field as well.

940
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 4: So you're gonna have to play both sides of the

941
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 4: ball with what you do best, and that's run the ball.

942
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 4: If you're Baltimore, you can bet you know their full

943
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 4: back is gonna be out there. The whole gang is

944
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 4: gonna be on the field, and they're gonna have like

945
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 4: twenty pounds of people on the field pushing the ball

946
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 4: down the field.

947
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: It's gonna run sixth the offensive lineman, three tight ends,

948
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry in a quarterback.

949
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 4: The card's gonna be out there. The card is gonna

950
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 4: be out there. Yeah, they're all, yeah, they gotta find

951
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 4: a way. They got to figure out a way to

952
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 4: maximize who they have left on the field, and you

953
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 4: can bet the Ravens will do it.

954
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 2: There is a chance that they will be without five,

955
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 2: possibly six starters on their starting defense this week against

956
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 2: the Texans.

957
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 4: Don't count them out. I'm not nobody. Nobody can come

958
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 4: together and get a team pointed in the right direction

959
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 4: better than John Harbaugh. They are that whole organization is

960
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 4: masters at We're all gonna do this together, and we're

961
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 4: gonna do it this way. They're really good at it.

962
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 4: So if they have a recipe that can do it,

963
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 4: they also have the coaching staff that can implement it.

964
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not just handing this over to Houston this weekend.

1010
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 12: at something the other day on television, and that was Sims,

1011
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 12: not Fat Sims, Chris Sims. And he was saying, wow, you.

1012
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 10: Know what, really I'm start talking about now, why does

1013
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 10: the quarterback have to be the most highest, the highest

1014
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 10: paid person on the team when he's not even the

1015
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 10: best player. And I thought, I was like, wow, well

1016
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 10: that can't happen here, because well, right, you know, Josh

1017
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 10: is our best player.

1018
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 2: It happened in Atlanta.

1019
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 3: It could happen in Atlanta.

1020
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 10: Yeah right, So yeah, that's uh, that's awesome, man. Yeah,

1021
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 10: I think back in the let me see when I won,

1022
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,000

00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 3: You know what. I'm glad you just made my day.

1026
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 4: So right now they're all fat and happy feeding in

1027
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 4: the run game, he's all full, yeah, like the world

1028
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 4: is in his proper order.

1029
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 2: It is, so right now he's in a race. Jonathan

1030
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 2: Taylor leads the NFL in rushing four hundred and fourteen

1031
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 2: yards on the season. James is right behind him with

1032
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 2: four oh one, so he's thirteen yards behind him. Jean's

1033
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 2: a little bit further back because he's probably gonna be

1034
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 2: the total yards from scrimmage leader. He's got like two

1035
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards receiving already, and he's got three

1036
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty rushing, so he's out in front in

1037
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 2: total yards from scrimmage. He's he's looking like Marshall Fulk

1038
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 2: right now, or Thurman Thomas, you know, depending on your

1039
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: era of football. Danian Tomlinson, it's interesting that it's interesting

1040
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: them that Bill's fans having not seen James take on

1041
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 2: the kind of workload that he has taken on through

1042
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: the first month of the season, are already worried about

1043
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 2: him having enough left in the tank when this team

1044
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 2: gets to the postseason. I think he's on track for

1045
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 2: about three hundred and sixty one car or not three

1046
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty one total touches, I believe is what

1047
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: it is for the season. What do you make of

1048
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: that concern on the part of Bills fans that if

1049
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: he continues to take on this workload he might be

1050
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 2: a little worn out by the time we get to

1051
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 2: the postseason. I have a feeling I know what your

1052
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: answer is going to be, but I'm gonna ask you

1053
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: it anyway.

1054
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, Bill's fans, don't do this. Don't do this.

1055
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 10: Don't say he's going to be I mean, I mean

1056
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 10: you could say the same thing about Josh, but he

1057
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 10: ups his level in the playoffs r and he gets there,

1058
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 10: you know, so, and we have any I've seen him

1059
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 10: full season of James Cook. I mean, these first four

1060
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 10: games are I mean, you can probably put them in

1061
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 10: his first four years and you still wouldn't get what

1062
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 10: you're getting now, you know total, So he just no,

1063
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 10: just hey, look, this guy takes care of himself.

1064
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 4: Take care of him and they take care of him too.

1065
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I mean what you got the best

1066
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 3: offensive lineman in the elite.

1067
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 4: I think the thing that people forget is, sure, you

1068
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 4: get to the end of the season, but it's not

1069
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 4: that he's out of share or gets tired. It's that

1070
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 4: the wear and tear of the season he may have.

1071
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 4: He may be dragging around an elbow and an ankle

1072
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 4: and and all this other stuff. That's what happens usually

1073
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 4: a cumulates. It's not it's not that he's tired or

1074
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 4: anything like that. It's that he's he's nicked up, because

1075
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 4: everybody gets hurt. But what this culture and what this

1076
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 4: staff is, they take it easy on. They give him

1077
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 4: all the time they need to refresh. And you wouldn't

1078
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 4: just say during the practice week. During the practice week

1079
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 4: and I'm barring a serious something serious. That's enough time,

1080
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 4: particularly for a running back is twenty six And I.

1081
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 2: Think we talked to you about this maybe a week

1082
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 2: or two ago. Knock on wood. But he never takes

1083
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 2: monsters like he knows when to get down or to

1084
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 2: slip under a tackle, or to slip in between two

1085
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 2: guys instead of taking a Malatchi crunch hit like, we've

1086
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 2: never really seen him take a blistering shot, and those

1087
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: are the ones that really add up.

1088
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, those are the ones that add up. Those are

1089
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 10: one that those are the ones that put you on

1090
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 10: the injury list. Yeah, and he hasn't been on it, yeah,

1091
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 10: you know so Yeah, and I think people need to

1092
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 10: really look at I mean, like you said, look at

1093
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 10: this running style. I mean, and I'll say it again,

1094
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 10: he doesn't take the big hit or.

1095
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 3: He will dish it out because that's the type of

1096
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 3: player that he is.

1097
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 10: He can get you off balance to where you can

1098
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 10: be going one way and he knows he's not going

1099
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 10: to get an extra five yards, might get one or

1100
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 10: two yards and just run into that player and fall forward.

1101
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 3: So I mean, he take care of his body like

1102
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 3: he's kids.

1103
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 4: The physicality of his running I think is the biggest

1104
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 4: surprise we've seen this year from him. He's got the

1105
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 4: bigger workload, of course, but the success he had even

1106
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 4: this last week against the Saints inside the tackles. Certainly,

1107
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 4: the offensive line's opening some gaps for him, but he's

1108
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 4: in there dodging people in tight spaces and side stepping them.

1109
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 4: I think that's been for me the most pleasant surprise

1110
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 4: of his whole season is the fact that he's getting tough.

1111
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 4: He's dragging guys down inside the five, getting them down

1112
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 4: to the one like he did last week before he

1113
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 4: carries it in. His ability to run physically inside on tough,

1114
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 4: hard nosed short runs has been really a surprise for me.

1115
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 4: And it's cool.

1116
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, and you think about it, I mean, it's really

1117
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 10: kind of taken away of I don't know what's going on,

1118
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 10: but from the carriers that Ray Davis used to get,

1119
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 10: he's getting those inside gars now I don't say. First

1120
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 10: of all, he's from Georgia to SEC so they know

1121
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 10: how to run between the tackles. And he's been in

1122
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 10: you know, he was that guy in college too, So yeah,

1123
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 10: it feels fair.

1124
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 3: Y'all need to be wear bout something else.

1125
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 2: What about this Patriots team? Because we actually have a

1126
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: poll up for the listeners today, what is your greatest

1127
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 2: concern with the Patriots? And we asked, is it the

1128
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 2: Drake May Stefon Diggs combo which went for over one

1129
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 2: hundred yards last week against Carolina? Is it the thunder

1130
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: and lightning combination of Ramandre Stevenson and Treveon Henderson the

1131
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 2: rookie from Ohio State. Or is it the Patriots number

1132
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 2: two ranked run defense that is giving up only seventy

1133
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: seven yards on the ground per game?

1134
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 3: What's you know what? That's a tough one there.

1135
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 2: Which one stands out to you as something you would

1136
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 2: maybe be most concerned about?

1137
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 3: I would think it would be the running backs Stevenson

1138
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 3: and Henderson.

1139
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 10: I mean, because before the season started, they were talking

1140
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 10: about this combo nation here in the in the preseason,

1141
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 10: I know it was the preseason, and how this load

1142
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 10: was going to make Drake May.

1143
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 3: A better quarterback with him. It hasn't worked out that way.

1144
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 2: They had a little trouble running the ball because the

1145
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: line really hasn't come The.

1146
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 3: Line haven't come together.

1147
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, but yeah, I just think that, you know, and

1148
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 10: you know what I could say the Patch run defense.

1149
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 3: See how that goes. I mean, our offensive line has been.

1150
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 2: Great, nobody's really stopped nobody his run game. Is your

1151
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 2: concern with Stevenson and Henderson more about their skills as

1152
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 2: backs or more about more about the Bill's run more.

1153
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 3: About the Bills run defense than anything? Yeah?

1154
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 10: So, I mean, I think when you look at the

1155
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 10: teams that we play, pretty had some success running with football,

1156
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 10: and let me tell you something. You got a Mike

1157
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 10: Vrabel team coming in here and all. But that's that's

1158
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 10: how he was in Tennessee. I mean, he's going to

1159
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 10: try to run that. He's he wants the tame game

1160
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 10: plan that they had a couple of years ago when

1161
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 10: they only threw the ball three times.

1162
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 4: I'm pounding, I'm pounding the tables hand. It's gonna be

1163
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 4: a rock fight.

1164
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's gonna be a rock fight. So I think there, uh,

1165
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 10: their d is gonna you know. But when you do

1166
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 10: stop that aspect of our game, can you control the

1167
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 10: other half?

1168
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 3: I don't know. If they're back in defensive backs.

1169
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: Are Gonzales is back in the line up there? Number

1170
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: one draft choice from a couple of years ago. He

1171
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 2: missed the first three games of the hamstring injury, got

1172
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,439
Speaker 2: back in the lineup last week. He will be out

1173
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 2: there this week. So that helps their back end a

1174
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 2: little bit.

1175
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1176
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 2: Their front's pretty good too. Look, they had a lot

1177
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 2: of money to spend in the offseason. They have the

1178
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 2: most money under the cap, most space under the cap.

1179
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 2: In the offseason. They got Milton Williams from Philadelphia. He's

1180
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 2: in the middle there with Barmore. They got Harold Landry

1181
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 2: on the edge. You know, Frabel's old buddy from Tennessee,

1182
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 2: the pass rusher. He's got three and a half sacks

1183
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 2: and four games. So there's got some horses.

1184
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 3: On one thing. I'm going to say, who let me

1185
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 3: see who? They played Pittsburgh, right, and.

1186
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 2: They turned the ball over five times against Pittsburgh. Okay,

1187
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 2: but he lost by one score.

1188
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just saying, Okay, Pittsburgh and who else?

1189
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 2: Carolina last week Las Vegas. They haven't really played anybody

1190
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 2: except Pittsburgh.

1191
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 3: And that's probably why their running game is ranked number two.

1192
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Run defense.

1193
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 3: Run defense is ranked number two because that maybe name

1194
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 3: the people.

1195
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 10: I mean, I don't even know running backs for Pittsburgh.

1196
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 10: I know you got the young kid from Borgia State

1197
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 10: with the.

1198
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 4: Raiders, Raiders genty Miami Carolina's yeah.

1199
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 10: So so that so that rank pretty much says it

1200
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 10: for itself. Because they haven't played.

1201
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 2: I think it's a little inflated.

1202
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 4: I think it's because I've been going on to stay

1203
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 4: if the Bills were so stapid. The Bills haven't played

1204
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 4: anybody who's had a win every every winless winless, so

1205
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 4: you know that one.

1206
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, those haven't really played anybody in here.

1207
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 4: Now, we're we've got some proven, more proven stuff. I

1208
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 4: get all that. Yeah, but I mean, come.

1209
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 3: On, it's still early. Yeah, yeah, still early.

1210
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 4: I mean we're it's about.

1211
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 3: Like wee eleven and twelve and we'll figure it out.

1212
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 4: We played, you know, we beat the Ravens, but we

1213
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 4: scored forty one points. It was a comeback and all

1214
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 4: of that, the whole Ravens thing from week one. We'd

1215
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 4: play the Jets, the Dolphins, and the Saints. That's that's

1216
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 4: like a fourth place schedule, Yeah, not a first play schedule. Yeah,

1217
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 4: that is only because the two division teams are yeah,

1218
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 4: spiraling out of control on flames now right now. But yeah,

1219
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 4: and I don't know, we can go either way, you know,

1220
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 4: that's what they're saying over there.

1221
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, right, they haven't really played with Obviously, they're going

1222
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 10: to be jacked up in the locker room to come in.

1223
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 10: It's a primetime game for them, and you know, primetime

1224
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 10: game for US. So and vrabel hast always had his

1225
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 10: football teams ready to play.

1226
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 3: Be in the moment.

1227
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 2: What do you think the reception will be by the

1228
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: fans for Stefan Diggs, who comes into this building for

1229
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,479
Speaker 2: the first time in another uniform since he played here.

1230
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 10: Do we still have any mood time for media day

1231
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 10: to talk to him.

1232
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 2: Thursday media in Boston. Yeah, he said it's gonna be

1233
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 2: sentimental and emotional for him, and he said he's maintained

1234
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 2: a lot of relationships with the guys he played with here,

1235
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 2: and you know, said he's probably gonna give a lot

1236
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 2: of the guys a big hug. So he was all

1237
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 2: warm and fuzzy about his former Bills teammates, which, you know,

1238
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 2: what else are you gonna say? You don't want to

1239
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 2: give any bulletin board materials. So he went all warm

1240
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 2: and fuzzy.

1241
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 10: Man say, yeah, this guy, he knows our defensive back

1242
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 10: is probably better than inboy, you know, coming in here

1243
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 10: like that, So you know what, I Hey, look, I

1244
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 10: think the years that he was there were great.

1245
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 3: Years for us.

1246
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 10: I mean he went to AFC championship game, a couple

1247
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 10: of divisional game, Aames or what have you, and uh,

1248
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 10: you know what, his numbers.

1249
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 3: Inflated, Josh, Josh got better.

1250
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 10: With Stefon Diggs, and hey, I think he really enjoyed

1251
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 10: it here.

1252
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 3: But hey, it's time. It's time to move on.

1253
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 4: I got a question for you. Does Steph Diggs get

1254
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 4: a warmer welcome than Mac Hollins.

1255
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1256
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, right, he was only here for one year,

1257
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 4: but he was great. Yeah, but you know that's a

1258
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 4: good question.

1259
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 10: But even doing this, I still see a lot of

1260
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 10: Stefan Diggs jersey around here.

1261
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 3: Okay, I still see I still see him around here.

1262
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 2: Mac had a social media following too, you know, with.

1263
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 4: His He's Mad Scientists, Max Hacks and all the other

1264
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 4: stuff he was doing.

1265
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 3: My son in law was very upset that he got.

1266
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 2: So is my wife. He was a big fan. Yeah,

1267
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 2: rounding and bare feet and that whole thing. She was

1268
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 2: all about that.

1269
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 4: So the whole thing, well, I.

1270
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 2: Had walk to work in bare feet.

1271
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 4: All right, how do you let's get like, how do

1272
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 4: you think this game is gonna play out? What's your

1273
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 4: best guess?

1274
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 3: Well?

1275
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 11: You know, I I think I think we know we

1276
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 11: haven't really got off to a real good start. Really

1277
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 11: like like let's like first quarter.

1278
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 10: I mean, let's end it with fourteen points or seventeen points,

1279
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 10: you know, I mean, let's get off to a good start.

1280
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did a good job that, but they did

1281
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 4: that on this last week against the Saints, but then

1282
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 4: they had the worst quarter in three years in the

1283
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 4: second quarter. In the second I mean, yeah, you know,

1284
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 4: I think I think.

1285
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 3: With this team, just be alert for anything.

1286
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 10: With the New England Patriots, I think because it is

1287
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 10: a primetime game, Mike Braber wants his team to look

1288
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 10: good out there, and yeah, they're gonna call me through

1289
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 10: some prime How many times do we face this type

1290
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 10: of defense with coming from Mike Braber. We haven't played

1291
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 10: him that much when he was in Tennessee, so uh,

1292
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 10: and I don't think it's the same defense as he

1293
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 10: had in that they he played in New England. So

1294
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 10: there's gonna be you know, some things that we probably

1295
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 10: haven't saw before.

1296
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 3: You know, we haven't seen before.

1297
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 2: They do play a fifty front on defense, you know,

1298
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 2: three big guys in the middle, two stand up guys

1299
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 2: on the edges. How would you often What were the

1300
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: tips for you as a running back running against a

1301
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 2: fifty front? Was there anything that you had to do

1302
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 2: differently or is it basically here's the play call I'm acucrating.

1303
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter that they got five guys up.

1304
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 10: No we didn't really go up about anything like that

1305
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 10: because we ran pretty much the same play all every

1306
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 10: single time, whether you had fifty forty two, whatever the

1307
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 10: defense was, I mean, we we had schemes to figure

1308
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 10: it out how to get it done.

1309
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 3: And so I think with having.

1310
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 10: The three guys, I mean, for me, like even though

1311
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 10: we were good at a lot of things like stretching

1312
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 10: the defense, running a zone play to get those big,

1313
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 10: big guys moving laterally, you.

1314
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying anyways, instead of just coming forward.

1315
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 10: I mean it was you know, if you get pad

1316
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 10: level under you, you're done right off.

1317
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 3: The bat, and that's meration. Yeah, exactly.

1318
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 10: So yeah, mine was always like zone plays or whatever,

1319
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 10: but stretch plays and stuff like that, just to get

1320
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 10: the big guys moving.

1321
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 3: Up front, you know.

1322
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 10: So I mean they trip on their own feet, yeah sometimes.

1323
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's what you know in a situation like that.

1324
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 10: And I think, you know, when you're running toward the

1325
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 10: three the fifty on the outside, the linebackers with our

1326
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 10: tight ends, put me Jackson on whoever that guy is,

1327
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 10: and I think we win that battle.

1328
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, ok, yeah, it it's some specific differences for

1329
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 4: the guys up front and The idea is always to

1330
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 4: leave the furthest guy away from the point of attack,

1331
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 4: unblocked and go that way. So it'll look different to

1332
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 4: a guy like Thurman getting the ball out of gyms

1333
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 4: gyms or Josh's hands for cook but I don't think

1334
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 4: it changes in he go, you run where they or

1335
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 4: not right, you can find a gap.

1336
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 10: Or go And this is this is where we talk

1337
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 10: about how great Cooks is. He's jumping from A to

1338
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 10: B in a matter of a second and taking.

1339
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 2: There he does. So here's one other thing that I've

1340
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 2: noticed about him, just trying to watch him more closely.

1341
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 2: You see a lot of running backs that have the

1342
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 2: ability to jump cut, and I don't. I don't usually

1343
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 2: see him jump cut. He almost sidesteps. It's like a

1344
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 2: shortened version of a jump cut, and it makes him

1345
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 2: almost more elusive. I'm just curious how he pulls that off,

1346
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 2: because a lot of guys feel like they got to

1347
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 2: really jump cut laterally to get away from that defender

1348
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 2: that's right in front of them.

1349
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 4: He does.

1350
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 2: He covers half the distance, but he does it in

1351
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 2: half the time, and he's by the guy. It's just

1352
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 2: interesting that a jump cut isn't a part of his

1353
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 2: game of elusiveness. He chooses to just sidestep people instead

1354
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 2: of jump cut and it takes less time.

1355
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 3: It works, It works for him, It has been working

1356
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 3: for him for a long long time.

1357
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's good.

1358
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good.

1359
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's not like like the like a jump cup

1360
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 10: to me is like Barriss Sanders.

1361
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,639
Speaker 2: Yes, and he doesn't doesn't do he doesn't get low

1362
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 2: or anything.

1363
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 4: No, he does not.

1364
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 10: But the they every time I see him though, he's

1365
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 10: always like leaning full, yes, always leaning forward. And I

1366
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 10: think that's that's probably his trait that that keeps him

1367
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 10: balanced like that, you know, keeping balance because he's like

1368
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 10: he doesn't run straight up like Eric Nickoson.

1369
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 3: It's always kind of this little lean that he has

1370
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 3: to himself. Yeah.

1371
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, his it's also his breakaway speed is always

1372
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 4: a problem. I think for defense, it's got to be

1373
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 4: part of the equation for them. They've got he's come close.

1374
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 4: You always feel like you're trying to in those fast

1375
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 4: you always feel like you gotta him. You know, heard

1376
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 4: he run at the combo instead of going into tackling.

1377
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 4: He almost got to break his momentum. So he doesn't,

1378
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 4: you know, get the edge.

1379
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 2: He ran a four to four two at the combo.

1380
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can run away from a lot of people. Yeah,

1381
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 3: but he looks faster out there.

1382
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 2: Tradon Henderson for the Patriots runs a four to four flat,

1383
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 2: so got to keep an eye on him. Don't let

1384
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 2: him get past the second level because it could be

1385
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 2: over to Uh, you got your you got your white

1386
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 2: out jersey therm for Sunday night. It's white out, yep,

1387
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 2: I got it all ready to go. You got one

1388

1413
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 2: as a fan, now, how do you approach watching this

1414
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 2: team each week? We all want them to win a

1415
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, so it sometimes feels like the regular season

1416
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 2: is about waiting for our next shot at it and

1417
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 2: sizing up our chances.

1418
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 4: The way I approach it now has a lot to

1419
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 4: do with what Brownie and I do here every day.

1420
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 4: I approach it like, what are the fans gonna find interesting?

1421
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 4: What are the key moments of the game, what are

1422
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 4: the key elements of the game, Who's playing well, who's not?

1423
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 4: What do they do well? What did we do well?

1424
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 4: It's a little bit more like a reporter. Although I

1425
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 4: have said this multiple times to a lot of people,

1426
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,600
Speaker 4: and Brownie as well. I can't wait to watch this

1427
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 4: team play. It wasn't always that way during the drought years.

1428
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 4: This team and this group of guys is really special.

1429
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 4: The coaching staff is special, the building is special. It's

1430
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 4: not just because we're in the building and we watch

1431
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 4: them all the time, but they have the ability to

1432
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 4: do special things every weekend. And it's fun to watch.

1433
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 3: You know.

1434
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:56,679
Speaker 4: It's one of those things can't get enough. And that's

1435
01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 4: that's where my fanship comes in.

1436
01:12:59,160 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 6: You know.

1437
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 4: It's fun that it's a team that I like and

1438
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 4: I follow, that I played for, that it's big, such

1439
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 4: been that has been such a big part of my life.

1440
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 4: That's the cool part about it. But when I watch,

1441
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 4: you know, I'm taking note about what's going on.

1442
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 2: Steve's in the last row of our broadcast booth and

1443
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,800

01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:24,240

1467
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:47,839

01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:48,439

01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:50,320

Speaker 4: run across the parking lot to get ready for postgames.

1487
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 4: So that's how I watch the games usually, and even

1495
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 4: a little, that little, that little tidbit of responsibility on

1496
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 4: game day that I got to do kind of precludes me.

1497
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 4: That's why, you know, I don't I can't have a

1498
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 4: beer in the tailgate even these night games. I mean,

1499
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 4: you can't drink all day, So I don't drink all day.

01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 4: somebody always does.

1503
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 2: That's what's made the tailgate tag along so much fun

1504
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 2: because we get to at least sample some dang good food.

1505
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been fun with the tail the Tuesday tailgate

Speaker 4: tag along, the Branni device and I have started doing.

1507
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 4: It's been fun. That's been a lot of fun.

1508
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 2: Last week was like shangril lot.

1509
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, it was I don't even know what

1510
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,600
Speaker 4: you can compare it to. When you we're driving a

1511
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 4: little golf cart going out to these tailgates and you're

1512
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 4: driving through everybody else's tailgates and through the spectacle that

1513
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 4: is a Bill's game. There is nothing else like it.

1514
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 4: It's like driving a golf cart through Mardi gras right,

1515
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 4: it's close.

1516
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 2: Uh, it's I don't know if it's as wild and

1517
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 2: there's nothing Marty Gras.

1518
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 4: Right, but you know it's more of a family atmosphere

1519
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 4: view most of it, but some of it's the wild West,

1520
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 4: you know, but it's it was unbelievable. Weather was perfect,

1521
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:25,919
Speaker 4: People were absolutely off their rocker happy, just and everybody's

1522
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 4: just you could just everybody's just soaking it in. Man,

1523
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,600
Speaker 4: just rub it on my face. Let's go. You know,

1524
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 4: this is awesome. The Bills are, we're playing this team,

1525
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 4: We're gonna you know, everybody's like, we're gonna kill him.

1526
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 4: It's just there was nothing like it. So that like

1527
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 4: this last game in particular, was in the stew of

1528
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 4: how I watched the game as to go to the question,

1529
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 4: you know, he's just it's so at this point in history,

1530
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,719
Speaker 4: and we know we've all lived through different points in history,

1531
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 4: at this point in history there it. I just cannot

01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's tomorrow. And is it today and tomorrow or

1540
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 4: tomorrow on Saturday.

1541
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 2: It's tomorrow through Saturday.

1542
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, that's right.

1543
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 2: Sober third and fourth Big Show number two. We want

1544
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 2: to get over to the tweet sheet where we've got

1545
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 2: some comments on our poll today where we were asking

1546
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 2: you what is the biggest concern for you when the

1547
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 2: Bills host the Patriots. Your choices on the poll were

1548
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 2: there running back duo of Ramandre Stevenson and Treveon Henderson,

1549
01:18:57,040 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 2: the Drake made of Stefan Diggs combination the Patriots number

1550
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 2: two ranked run defense. And it was a pretty balanced

1551
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 2: poll at least with the first two choices Stevenson and

1552
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 2: Henderson running against the Bills run defense or Drake May

1553
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 2: and Stefan Diggs. They got forty and thirty three percent

1554
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 2: of the vote respectively. The pass number two ranked run

1555
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 2: defense has gained some market share here. They're over nineteen

1556
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 2: percent now seven and a half percent, say other tweet

1557
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 2: sheet is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1558
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 2: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Where Mike

1559
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 2: says special team, Special team, special teams. Can we prevent

1560
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 2: a big return? We were close to allowing many block

1561
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 2: punts and kicks. How will the new punter fare all

1562
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 2: fair concerns, Mike, absolutely, especially after the way the Patriots

1563
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 2: put that game away against Carolina last week, largely via

1564
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 2: special team's returns from Marcus Jones, their primary punt returner,

1565
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 2: who leads the league in punt return average, thanks largely

1566
01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:59,720
Speaker 2: to an eighty seven yard return last week for a

1567
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 2: touch down followed by a sixty yard return in the

1568
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 2: same game broke a Patriots record for most punt return

1569
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 2: yards in a game in team history.

1570
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that'll break a lot of records, getting

1571
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 4: two long ones like that in the same game that

1572
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:22,759
Speaker 4: we had this conversation early in the show about special

1573
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 4: teams becoming a bigger part of the outcome of these

1574
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 4: games across the league. And it's not just about kick returns,

1575
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 4: punt returns. It's also about punt, field goal blocks, field

1576
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 4: goal misses, block punts. I mean the entire special team's

1577
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 4: menu of bad things happening and great plays being made

1578
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 4: has been expanded this year, and I think it's one

1579
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 4: of the things that even casual fans have come to notice.

1580
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 4: And I don't think it's because the kickoff, kickoff return things.

1581
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 4: Certainly is because of the thirty five yard touchback, No question,

1582
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 4: you're seeing a ton more plays out there become live

1583
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 4: plays again rather than touchbacks and just a ceremonial kick right.

1584
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 4: But some of it is fuel goal fueld, goal block

1585
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 4: and punt punt return that there's no rule changes there

1586
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 4: this year of any note, and those have emerged as

1587
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 4: well as being being a factor. So it's been for

1588
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 4: old guys you know, did what I did, and it's

1589
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 4: been a lot of fun to watch that resurgence of

1590
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 4: those plays become more important and how teams have had

1591
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 4: to jump through some hoops on their rosters to get

1592
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 4: some guys on there that can actually do it.

1593
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 2: Faith on the tweet sheet says it's ver Abel's coaching.

1594
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 2: So I guess all of the above tied into one

1595
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 2: go bills. We got this. As Steve has said, Vrabel

1596
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 2: is an expert at mucking up games and keeping them close.

1597
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 2: When you get to the last four minutes of regulation.

1598
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 2: You think you've dominated, and you may. You may dominate

1599
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 2: this team in total net yards, third down can version percentage,

1600
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 2: red zone touchdown percentage, and you look up at the

1601
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 2: scoreboard four minutes left and it's twenty four to twenty

1602
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 2: and you're like, how the heck did that happen? Yeah,

1603
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 2: And that's what he does best as a head coach.

1604
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 2: I went backs up games.

1605
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 4: I can't remember what it was. I was watching a

1606
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 4: game and I was what both teams were stinking. I

1607
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 4: mean it's just ugh just stinking it up. And you

1608
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 4: look over and you got this team that you know

1609
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 4: in the season, this is an old game, it's the

1610
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 4: season that they're gonna win the Super Bowl, and they're

1611
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:31,839
Speaker 4: just just looking awful, like they can't find a rhythm.

1612
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 4: And you look across the way as old Bill Parcells's coach,

1613
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 4: and the other team, it's like total total rock fight.

1614
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 4: I mean, they can't you can't run off and leave them.

1615
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 4: And that's the way Mike Vrabel coaches. That's the way

1616
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:48,280
Speaker 4: this team here in Buffalo has been it. Remember, this

1617
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 4: this team is still There's been one game out of

1618
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 4: the last fifty that has been that they've been beaten

1619
01:22:55,479 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 4: by more than one possession. Nobody runs off leaves this

1620
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 4: team either, So this is gonna be one of those

1621
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 4: division games that just, oh my god, it's gonna be agonizing,

1622
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 4: I think to watch. I think the Bills are the

1623
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 4: better team, no question about it. But in a one

1624
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,719
Speaker 4: score game like we think, this is gonna be who cares?

1625
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 4: Oh he needs one play if it's a one score game,

1626
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 4: So you're gonna be on the edge of your seat.

1627
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 4: I think all day for this one. I could be wrong.

1628
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 4: This game has tension written all over it.

1629
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 2: Joey on the tweets sheet says our offensive line holding

1630
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 2: off the Patriots pass rush is his biggest concern. Their

1631
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 2: defensive backs don't scare me at all, and if Josh

1632
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:39,719
Speaker 2: has time, our receivers will have a very enjoyable evening.

1633
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 2: Go Bills. They may have to pivot to that which

1634
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, having to pivot to the lead

1635
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 2: MVP throwing the ball around, that's a hell of an alternative.

1636
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, he say, an't run the footpall the heck of

1637
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 4: a plan. B If they do have a good run defense,

1638
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 4: I think the Bills run game is as good a

1639
01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 4: run game as they have faced. This year. I don't

1640
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 4: think there's any question about that. The Raiders they beat

1641
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 4: They got beat by the Raiders opening weekend, so there's

1642
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 4: a lot going on in opening weekend. You know, there's

1643
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 4: a lot. You don't know. They only rushed for you know,

1644
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 4: sixty yards if that, with five different guys having to carry,

1645
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:24,440
Speaker 4: so they didn't run the ball extremely well in week one.

1646
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 4: You know, in Week two they played the Dolphins. They

1647
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 4: won by six third and they scored thirty three points.

1648
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 4: But you know that's a game in which they did

1649
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 4: they rushed for sixty yards, right sixty one yards again

1650
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 4: the Dolphins did, and they Patriots rushed for just right

1651
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 4: out one hundred, a little over one hundred. So I

1652
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 4: don't know, we'll see the Dolphins running game is nothing

1653
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 4: right home about the Raiders game was Week one. We'll see.

1654
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:01,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what to I don't know

1655
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 4: what to expect here. Neither of these teams has been tested.

1656
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 4: The Bills have yet to play a team that has

1657
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 4: already won a game in the season. It's gonna be

1658
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,839
Speaker 4: a I think this is gonna be an absolute nightmare.

1659
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 4: You know, just from nobody else. A lot of you're

1660
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 4: never gonna feel comfortable in this game. I just feel it.

1661
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 2: Corey says that number two run defense of the Pats

1662
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 2: is concerning, But with the offensive line the Bills have,

1663
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 2: I bet Cook still has a good day. No one's

1664
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:33,720
Speaker 2: been able to stop them thus far. The one game

1665
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 2: has not been stopped to this point. This is probably

1666
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 2: the highest ranked run defense they've seen.

1667
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll say this, I nobody's done it yet. They

1668
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 4: haven't faced an offensive line like the Bills have. The

1669
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 4: Bills had a good off. I don't want to short

1670
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 4: short change the Bills running game because it's nobody stopped them.

1671
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 4: It's real and they're committed to it.

1672
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 3: Yep.

1673
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 4: And that's always a problem as a defense. I hope

1674
01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 4: sometimes when you get a three and out at some

1675
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:00,559
Speaker 4: point or you stop them, they they kind of go

1676
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 4: away from it. The Bills might go away for a

1677
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 4: half a series, but they're gonna come back to it.

1678
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to continue to bear up against the run.

1679
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 4: So there is that for the Buffalo Bills. And I

1680
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 4: don't want to say that you know, Bills can't run

1681
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 4: it any better than the Dolphins, because they can, they do,

1682
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 4: and they're committed to doing it. So we'll see.

1683
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here. One final segment to go,

1684
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 2: Some final thoughts on a tweet sheet and a stark

1685
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 2: reminder on why it's never good to make a bet

1686
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 2: even on your alma mater. We'll explain when we return

1687
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live presented by co Lot of Health.

1688
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:40,679
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radios. Final thought from the tweet sheet
