1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Fight. Hey, Josh looks his way, fire short outside in

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: his cart, touchdown Buffalo. That's a slice snap. Josh backs

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: to throw, fires down the middle, caught by mackenzie into

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: the end zone. Touchdown. He caught it at the two,

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: and he sailed into the end zone for the go

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: ahead touchdown for the Bills. The whole thing, but the

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: slice the two a third and twenty two sets up deep.

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: Gonna throw it deep down the middle of the field

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: and Waddle makes the catch. He is brought down jail

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: and Waddle bails him out with a great catch. I

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: got the bag. Smite the tight end in motion, gives

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: it to Edmunds, buries his head, drives into the end zone. Touchdown, Miami.

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: They can't the leave for the first time today, It's

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: like a season of vice. I'm in the snap the

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: more stead This kick is partially blocked high into the

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: air of the Bills. It'll sail out the back of

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: the end zone. It's a safety. It's a safety, and

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: the Bills head two on the board. Gosh takes looks pressure,

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: gets away from it. Fires a short one, this one

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: cut by his a McKenzie trying to head down to

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: bounds and McKenzie has brought down. Gotta get up in

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: spike immediately. You gotta get up in spike immediately. Five seconds,

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: four seconds, three seconds. There running out of time. One second.

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: That's hit ball games. Game is over, and this one

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: ends with a Buffalo loss. I don't know where to

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: begin with that one. Yeah, play one nineteen the final,

27
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the Bills their first loss, and the

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins move in the first place in the AFC. Eames

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Bills first loss year in eight games. All right, that's

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: the Toshiba game, or rewind Toshiba, the official copier company

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. It is a blue Monday here

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, on your Buffalo Football Monday, Chris Brown, Steve

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: Tasker one Bills Live, and it is raining cats and

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: dogs here in Western New York. Maybe Western New York's

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: crying a little bit after the outcome of yesterday's game. UM,

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: not the best in terms of execution. You want to

37
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: talk about guts and heart, Bills had it and then some,

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: but some key execution issues at critical moments in the

39
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: game are ultimately what cost them. And Steve and I'll

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: get into all of that in just a second. But

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: I just kind of marveled at the way the team

42
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: held their head up after this one in the locker room,

43
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: just making my way around to guys, there wasn't dismay.

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I think they were too exhausted, and to

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: a man, they were proud of the effort that they

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: put out there, and they should be. They literally Steve

47
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: ran out of gas. Literally. Yeah, it was a game

48
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: they had a lot working against, and we knew that

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: going in a lot of starters off the field. It

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: wasn't the team they thought they were gonna have, you know,

51
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: just two weeks ago. In this game, they still you know,

52
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: couldn't score the points they wanted wanted to and you know,

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: Miami's three and oz and they their defense played a

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: really nice game. I will say that that their defense

55
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: played really well. They're often struggled, like the Buffalo offense

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: did against a good defense. They both both offenses had

57
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: trouble getting it going, you know, and the missed opportunities

58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: were obvious, and you know, you take a handful and

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: a game like this, it's always the case there's like

60
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: less than a handful of plays that go the other way.

61
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: Either team will win that game. And this is this

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: is one of those games, you know, the Matt Milano

63
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: dropped interception, that Gabe Davis dropped touchdown. It's a game

64
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: of lost points. That's exactly right, and that's the way

65
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: it goes. And you don't come into a game like

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: this crippled and with the things working against you that

67
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: happened during the game as well, and feel like you

68
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: are going to walk out with an easy win, that's

69
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: for sure. They gave up a touchdown off of Josh's

70
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: early fumble deep in their own territory. That's minus seven points. Okay,

71
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: end of the first half. The bobble snap prevents Josh

72
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: from spiking the ball, time runs out. You don't get

73
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: a field goal attempt there, well within Bass's range. You'll

74
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: lose three points there. Bills have a drop touchdown pass

75
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: in the end zone by Gabe Davis. They settle for

76
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: a field goal. You lose four points there. You have

77
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: a field goal partially blocked. You lose three points there.

78
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: Turnover on downs at the two yard line and the

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: fourth quarter you lose. Can we argue seven points there?

80
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: For seven Josh threw a one hopper into the dirt

81
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: there that threw a flatfoot. You've only seen him make

82
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: that throw, so that's another set. That's another seven points there.

83
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: You'll run out the clock at the end of the game.

84
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: No field goal attempt, that's another three points. So essentially,

85
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: it's twenty points that you left on the board and

86
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: seven that you gave to the Dolphins with a possession

87
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: on their own six yard line. I mean, you make

88
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: half of those plays. It's hard to win a game life.

89
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: You make half of those plays, you win by ten.

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, and you didn't even mention the Matt Milano. Yeah,

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: pick six, um, And maybe he wouldn't have outrun everybody

92
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: with a running start down the front of him, but

93
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: he still isn't going to catch even so, um, the

94
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: ball goes back to your offense in their end and

95
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: it gives you a chance. So um. Certainly the Dolphins,

96
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: um are gotta have got to feel good about where

97
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 1: they're sitting at three and over the top of the division.

98
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: The Bills coming back just shrugging their shoulders and trying

99
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: to get better, probably recovering a lot today, trying to

100
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: work the kinks out, get hydrated again. I'll say this,

101
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: I kind of pooh pooed the weather down there when

102
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: they went down, because I always I've never played in

103
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: a game like that where it was that hot. I

104
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: mean I was down and I played in a ton

105
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: of games in rand. I was down on the field

106
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: pre game, probably about ten thirty. It wasn't one o'clock, which,

107
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: as we know, it was much different than ten thirty.

108
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: It was warm. I think it was humid two. I

109
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: mean the humidity was high, and that's what really pulls

110
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: the moisture out of your body. I mean that just

111
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: forces you to sweat to cool your body when it's

112
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: that humid. And look, I don't want to say that

113
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: they were improperly hydrated. Um they were making it a

114
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: I think the heat and proof of how hot it

115
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: was like one ten, one fifteen on the field, proof

116
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: of how hot it was. The Bills were rotating players

117
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: through From the very beginning of the game. Oh yeah,

118
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: from the very beginning. Diggs is out at points on

119
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: the first drive. He never does that. He almost never

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: comes out. I'm like, WHOA, what's wrong? Is Diggs hurt?

121
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm looking like I'm on the side of

122
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Kumro's in Crowder's in the too. He twisted his ankle

123
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: on the cat tackle. Yeah, but they were rotating guys

124
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: through from the very beginning of the game. Tight ends too, right,

125
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: It's almost one of those games where you think, you

126
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: know what, we're not gonna go out and warm up,

127
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: We're just gonna stay in. We're gonna go out straight

128
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: and then go. You know, here's the other thing that

129
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: I noticed through the course of the game, a lot

130
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: less pre snap motion from Buffalo's offense. Why they didn't

131
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: want to run the guy's ragged before the play. It

132
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: was even less pre snap motion than I'm used to

133
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: seeing from that late in the game, I saw too,

134
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: and I was starting to think about it. The first

135
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: inkling I got there was going to be different when

136
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown's out and he was Steve, We're not even

137
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: through the first quarter, right, He's struggling to get back

138
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: to the huddle after a play, right, Like he was

139
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: not right? Right? He was like that to me. That yeah,

140
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: that then you knew it was like, Wow, the big

141
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: guys tend to feel it the most though, exactly so.

142
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: He Spencer Brown's out early in that game, so already

143
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: you're you're like why, and so Kesson Berry's in, But

144
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: even that that's the first inkling I got that it

145
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: was going to be a different kind of game like that,

146
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: and then um, for the rest of the reason afternoon,

147
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: it was a yeah, it started to go downhill, and

148
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, you just you there was no place to

149
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: escape from it. Either. They had those shade things, but

150
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: there's only so many of those to go around. And

151
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: I think the worst thing that could have happened was

152
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: the twenty play field goal drive. I know it absolutely

153
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: decimated the offense after that. And I know you guys

154
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: are limited to a certain camera shot when you're watching

155
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: on TV at home, if you had the opportunity to

156
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: look at whatever you wanted to if you were at

157
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: the game. I'm watching the receivers on the next possession,

158
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: They're running like three quarters speed. They were down to

159
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: four receivers for the last three quarters of the game.

160
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: They had nothing left. There's a reason why Buffalo's running

161
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: backs were such a big part of the passing game yesterday.

162
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: The receivers had nothing left in the tank by the

163
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: after that twenty play drive, they were done. So even

164
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: though some things fell into place, they were able to

165
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: move the ball. They get down to the goal line.

166
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: I mean This is hindsight twenty obviously, but they're throwing, throwing,

167
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: throwing on the two yard line there, I'm running a

168
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: bootleg for Josh. That guy's done the least running of

169
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: anybody on the Tide too. It later and he got

170
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: sacked for a two yard loss. I know this too.

171
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: After a couple of plays down there, when Josh had

172
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: the run pass option, the read was to keep it

173
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: and go, and he's like, I'm just too beat. He

174
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: handed it off and the guy but he did the

175
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: least amount of running in the game, and so I'm thinking,

176
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: who's got the freshest set of legs out here? And

177
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: the other thing that I thought they should have done

178
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: was played James Cook more right, like Singletary had a

179
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: nice game. He was effective. If James Cook is in

180
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: on the Zach Moss run, it's a touchdown. He's gone.

181
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: They're not catching him. Zack Moss gets caught forty yards

182
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: down field. If that's James Cook in the game, it's

183
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And a little bit of this was going

184
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: on to you said the pre snap motion and stuff too.

185
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: I was I was really watching it because I remember

186
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: this being too. Josh's calling the play and the guys

187
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: are trying to get lined up, and and you got,

188
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: like Isaiah McKenzie or Digs or whoever, got to run

189
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: all the way across the formation to get over lined up,

190
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: to get somebody over there to line up, and they're like,

191
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: and you can just tell those guys are like, oh God,

192
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: and I remember too. You're just like, I gotta run

193
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: across just to run this play. Yeah, it's just a crusher.

194
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: It just breaks your heart to have to do that,

195
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: even on those little things, because when you get exhausted,

196
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: you're exhausted. I mean, that's just houghest you've been done. Yeah.

197
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: If you know, if you've been an athlete and you've

198
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: played competitive sports and you've done it in adverse, oppressively

199
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: hot conditions, one of the hardest things to do when

200
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: you are physically exhausted is to stay mentally sharp and

201
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: focused on what has to happen and what you have

202
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: to do, because when your body's exhausted, all you can

203
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: think about is how exhausted you are, and it's very

204
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: hard to get back to a place where you have

205
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: to say, I got to lock in on this next play.

206
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: It's really it sounds simple, but It's really hard when

207
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: you're by is literally screaming at you, hey, let's go

208
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: sit down, Let's go sit down, because you're about to

209
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: fall over. The hardest thing to do is to focus

210
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: and lock in on the next play that you've got

211
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: to execute in the course of the game. I know

212
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people, I've heard a lot of people

213
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of people on social media comment about this.

214
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: The Bill's running game. It's a short yardage issue. There's

215
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: no question about it. This game was one and lost

216
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: in the red zone, both on offense and defense, and

217
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: it was one and lost in the short yardage Miami.

218
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Miami's defense was dominant in short yardage situations, particularly down

219
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: in the red zone area, where admittedly it is harder

220
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: to run the football. It's tighter space, there's less room.

221
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Less can happen down there in terms of options for

222
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: an opposing offense. So I get all that they need

223
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: to somehow find an answer for that that isn't just

224
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Because teams are now keying on Josh down there,

225
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: and understandably so, and because of that, you have to

226
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: have a counter. There has to be a counter to

227
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Josh running the ball down there. And right now Buffalo

228
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have a good one. Well, here's the thing. I'm

229
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: not ready to say they don't have a good one

230
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: right now. I'd like to see him when they have

231
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: their offensive line in there. You had your backup valid,

232
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: you had your third center in there, you had a

233
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: backup tackle playing right guard in Tommy Doyle, and you

234
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: had your backup right tackle playing right tackle. So yeah,

235
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: and I get the next man up mentality and all that,

236
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: but that's not the team you thought you were gonna

237
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: play in this game, and it's not your best players.

238
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna go in there playing your backups

239
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: on short yardage, okay, all right, then you can say

240
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: the Bills aren't good enough to win with in that scenario. Okay,

241
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: they're not. They're not, But I'm not willing to say

242
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: they're not there. They should change or they have to

243
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: go in and say, hey, listen, we gotta do something

244
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: that just run the offense. It's when you got your

245
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: guys on the field, certainly you're gonna have different because,

246
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: let's face it, they don't know what to expect from

247
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line they've got up there. They've never seen

248
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: those guys play together. In a real game against in

249
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: live action, and it's just like everything else. You got

250
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: to find out what plays you can call with those

251
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: five guys in and what plays you can't. They probably

252
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: don't know has no idea whether Tommy Doyle can get

253
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: out of there and run out in front of a

254
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: sweep or whether you can go the other direction. There's

255
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: a reason you didn't see a single screen pass yesterday.

256
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: And and I'll say this too, that's why they're in

257
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: shotgun on fourth and short as well, because they already

258
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: flubbed a couple of snaps under center with my third center.

259
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: That's why you don't take a field goal at the

260
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: end of the first half. That's right backup center snapping

261
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: a josh. That's right, that's why you. Yeah, so they've

262
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: got some choices they're making because of their inability to

263
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: overcome the obstacles have been put them in there that

264
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: are out of their control. So, yeah, there's a lot

265
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: going on in this game. They're where the coaching staff

266
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: is like, oh, I don't they don't want to try it,

267
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: and they're gonna depend and they probably leaned on their

268
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: best players a little more than probably leaned on Josh

269
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: A little more than they otherwise would have in situations

270
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: where you know, they would have handed it off or

271
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: they would have said, okay, let's see if our offensive

272
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: line can get out. So there's some stuff in there

273
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: that you know. And the field goals another one. You know,

274
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: you got guys that are just exhausted in there, given

275
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: a partially getting a field goal. Block, mister block on

276
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: the edge, came in clean, got a hand on the ball.

277
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: At least that's what I saw and what I heard

278
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: sitting there at the stadium. That was a blocked field goal. Um,

279
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones though at eight oh three

280
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five

281
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: fifty the number to get on board, and we lead

282
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: off today with Mark in Florida. Mark, what do you

00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: got for us? You're all one? Bill's live. They I

284
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: was trying to get through the cell there and but anyways,

285
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: they got through. This is Steve. Yeah, you go ahead, Steve.

286
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: When you were in the Super Bowl, I was getting

287
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: shot at over there in a desert storm. I was

288
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: listening to the game the Box one. I just wanted

289
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: you were my hero. Then you're my hero. Now you're

290
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: the great. Well, let me just say thank you for

291
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: your service. Yeah, Drew, when just like Bloody did, you

292
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: should have You could have been the leading receiver for

293
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: the No nobody could cover you. Kelly even told everybody

294
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: that in practice book. Anyway, I was three people called

295
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: in and I'm out of the Buffaloia for my entire life.

296
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: But I go back to Joe Furgison, warm Oil Stadium. Three.

297
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: Three people had legitimate criticism for the Bills, and this

298
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: guy poo pooed all of them. And there is there

299
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: any media right now in Buffalo that will criticize, give

300
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: honest criticism of the Bills. The one the conditioning, if

301
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: you could address that real quick. Let me give you

302
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: the three and then I'll listen. The condition that Miami

303
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: pie was at the game. Miami players weren't dropping like flies,

304
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo players were. Its a legitimate question is it is

305
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: there something there or not? I want I'll tell you, well,

306
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: let me get in the eighties, Mark, let me just

307
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: say this to you about just let him address the

308
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: first one. The first one. Here's the thing. It does

309
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: make a difference. And there is something that Miami had

310
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: going forth that Buffalo did not. They stood in the

311
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: shade the entire game. I understand that. You know, well,

312
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: if you're if you understand it, then say you understand it.

313
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: That's the difference. It's fifteen or twenty degrees hotter on

314
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's sideline constantly than it is on the Miami side.

315
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: That's the difference. I just didn't see that in the

316
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties you all played down there, and I

317
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: will say this too. I'll say this too. I said this.

318
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: I said this earlier today too. I was shocked because

319
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: I pooh pooed the difference before the game, because we

320
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: never had a game like that in the eighties or nineties.

321
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: I was surprised too that the heat was what it was,

322
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: because there's no way we ever had a game that hot.

323
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: When we were down there. We always enjoyed that because

324
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: we'd come down in the late though year, and there's

325
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: sometimes we played late in the year, which is different,

326
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: but in September, I don't remember ever having a game

327
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,359
Speaker 1: like that that was that hot. And from all accounts,

328
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: this was a special This is an unusually hot game.

329
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: So there's that. So that's one thing Miami did have

330
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: an advantage there, no question about it, okay, And that

331
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: I thought the other The second part of legitimate criticism

332
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: was a center. A center. I don't care if there's

333
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: any chance that you're going to get in and play center,

334
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: you tell me you can't take twenty minutes after a

335
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: practice and practice snaps. He said he was unable to

336
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: snap the ball. I can't I find that hard that

337
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 1: he was not unable to snap them. He was not

338
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: unable to snap the ball. Mark, he was an inconsistent

339
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: and inconsistency issue. And here's the thing. Here's the thing, Mark,

340
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: you had any you want to ask why guys were

341
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: dropping like flies. The offense was out there for ninety plays.

342
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: That's thirty more plays than they usually are. Yeah, I said,

343
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: you might say, ah, what's thirty plays? Thirty plays? Going

344
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: at going as hard as you can. I've done it.

345
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: I've done it out and that does it. I've done it,

346
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: believe me, right and not. Don't forget their defense was

347
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: on the player for ninety plays, so it's play. But

348
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: they were gassed. Yeah, that's right. You can't make that excuse.

349
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, why guys we're dropping, It's going to happen. Yeah,

350
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, Mark. One of the other things too,

351
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: there is. I'll agree with you, there should not be

352
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: a problem with the center quarterback exchange. But we've seen

353
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: it considered with the backup centers in this and for

354
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: whatever reason, either Van Roten or Mance I think was

355
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: in there for a minute as well. Yeah, you're right there.

356
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: That to me is not an excuse. But go ahead.

357
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: What's your third one? He's gone, Oh, he's gone. We

358
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: gotta get to other people. Um yeah, I mean, look,

359
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: you want it to be sound execution every single snap

360
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: on ninety snaps. They had issues with the snap on

361
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: four plays out of ninety snaps with two backup centers,

362
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: your second string and your third string guy who's on

363
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: the practice squad, and never snaps to Josh. They had

364
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: because Morris was a question mark. They had Van Rotten

365
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: snapping with Josh through the course of the week because

366
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: Morse was limited in practice, so Van Roten was getting

367
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: some snaps throughout the course of the week. You had

368
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: two issues with Josh down there. On the first touchdown drive,

369
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: he fumbled the first and goal snap hopped on it immediately. Okay,

370
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: that was one. Then he had the bobbled snap at

371
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 1: the end of the first half. That was two, and

372
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: then if memory serves, when they were down there at

373
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: the end of the game with Man's in the game,

374
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: there was a third one and he fired the ball.

375
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: He was able to still hold onto the ball, but

376
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: it affected his view of the field and the defense

377
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: because he had to focus on getting control of the ball.

378
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: So I would say, out of ninety total snaps, you

379
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: had four snaps that were an issue. Should it happen, No,

380
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: it's pro football. But I think at the same time

381
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: you can understand why it happened. I'll take Steve not

382
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: for nothing. Yeah, and I'll take eighty six snaps out

383
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: of ninety. I'll say this too. The thing at the

384
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: end of the first half, Josh bobbled that snap and

385
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: felt like he could not have spiked it. He probably

386
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: could have spiked it, but then you're depending on the

387
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: official to see it the same way you do, and

388
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees. What he should have done was just

389
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: thrown it over the top of Digs his head instead

390
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: of trying to complete the pass. He should have picked

391
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: it up and just thrown it out of bounds. Then

392
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: they would have had a second or so left and

393
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: they could have attempted the field goal, so instead of

394
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: spiking it, thrown it over digs his head. But that

395
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: was a mistake. That was one of the Josh should

396
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: have had back and it cost him a chance. And

397
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: Dick shouldn't have caught it. Should just batter it down right,

398
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: He could have done that too. Yeah, and it almost

399
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: was a pick. So yeah, that play was was yeah

400
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: miss Yeah, that was not troubly well executed on both

401
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: ends and all throughout. To address Mark's big concern about

402
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: the conditioning, I think the most. The thing that stands

403
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: out the most for me is how early in the

404
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: game players were impacted by the heat. To me, if

405
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: that's how happening in the first half, you do have

406
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: to wonder a little bit. I mean, you get to

407
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: the latter stages at the second half, you finish a

408
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 1: twenty play drive in the third quarter, and you're gassed

409
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: after that or guys are falling after that. I totally

410
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: get that, totally. Yes, in the first half, it's like,

411
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: m did you hydrate enough? All? That's the thing too.

412
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: You might have one or two of those guys who

413
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: forgot to drink water, didn't take it seriously or whatever,

414
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: and you and they'd show up when they you know,

415
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: early in the game, but when you've got a bunch

416
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: of them, Yeah, it's not it's it's something else. It's

417
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: the conditions, and I not. There's no question that the

418
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins had an enormous advantage yesterday, or as much as

419
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: an advantage as you can in a daylight, because sitting

420
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: in the shade made all the difference for those guys.

421
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: We talked to Isaiah McKenzie after the game in the

422
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: locker room. He told me he was throwing up at halftime. Yeah,

423
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: and he had. He's like, right before the half. I mean,

424
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: it's before halftime, he's thrown up. Yeah, and I gotta

425
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: take a break. These guys would run all day every day.

426
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: He went into the locker room and he had to

427
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: get an IV Yeah, that's the only reason he was

428
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: able to get back in the game. I can't tell

429
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: you how many guys probably took ivs at halftime. They

430
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: probably didn't have enough doctors to do them all, um,

431
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: but that's what was happening there. It was. It was

432
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: an extreme situation for sure. Let's go to Bob and Lancaster.

433
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: What do you got for us, Bob, You're on one

434
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: Bill's life. Hey, I love I love ten Dorsey's intensity.

435
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: That was great, That was that was good. Um. I've

436
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: got a question for you, Chris anste Um. If you

437
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: took a poll of all the NFL players, what percentage

438
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: would rather play in a game like yesterday's conditions? Or

439
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: would you rather play in zero degree whether with a

440
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: five degree win and cold and a little bit of flurries? Well,

441
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: then it's a kind of a gray area, Bob. How

442
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: cold do you want it to be? Is it minus

443
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: twenty or is it zero? Well? Yeah, say say it's

444
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: minus ten minus twenty with like a five five win. Yeah,

445
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: people would rather play in the heat. They would even

446
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: even if you've got that that potential of heat exhaust

447
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: And then yes, I would say tell him, tell him why, Steve,

448
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: Because the cold hurts. The heat makes you sick enough

449
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: you can rest everything. And when you feel when you're

450
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: when it's hot, you feel like you sit down, get

451
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: in the shade, put a towel over your wet towel

452
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: over you your feet. You feel better in the cold.

453
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: There's no escape. I mean, you can sit on the

454
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: heated bench, but soon later you gotta get up and

455
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: you gotta go play, and it's harder to stay warm,

456
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: you can't, you know. So I would imagine the big men, though,

457
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: would prefer the cold, wouldn't you. Maybe yeah, I think

458
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: the lineman would prefer that. They might colder weather, but

459
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: when you get cold cold like zero and below zero,

460
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: then maybe not. But and I think the offensive line

461
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: would probably prefer that because it's, you know, it's harder

462
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: for the for the pass rushers to bring it one

463
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: hundred percent. When they're bundled up a little bit and

464
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: not feeling so loose and all that, it's much easier.

465
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, you might get a different answer from

466
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: every guy in the league too, because it's you know,

467
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: it's personal preference. But I think and after and you

468
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: might get a lot of different answer today than you

469
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: would have Saturday. The bills, you know, so we'll see. Um, yeah,

470
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: that's a good question, but I still think most guys

471
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: would take the heat. Let's go back to the phones.

472
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: We go to Vinnie and Champa Nex. What do you

473
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: got first, Vinnie, Yeah, I just wanted to get your

474
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: take on why if we're not really so effective on

475
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: the ground, and we got guys keying in on Dave

476
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: Davis and Stefon Diggs and Mackenzie. How come we're not

477
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: getting Dawson Knocks more involved. I mean, he's a got

478
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: a huge contract that he's an elite tight end. I

479
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: just I don't understand it. Well, I mean he has not.

480
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: He was not targeted much in the first game. We

481
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: know that, but it wasn't really an issue. He was

482
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: targeted four times in the game. He had four receptions

483
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: for twenty five yards. He was an intermediate threat. And

484
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: then after he took a shot to the head not

485
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: long after that, he succumbed to the heat and was

486
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the game and they were

487
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: down to one tight end. Quentin Morris played the rest

488
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: of the game, probably the majority of the second half.

489
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: He was targeting. He was out ten four. He goes

490
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: he was four for four on targets for twenty five yards.

491
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's yeah, you're right, and it is a

492
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: little strange though we're through three games here and he's

493
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: not the same target he was last year, well in

494
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: terms of frequency anyway. Yeah, Okay, I mean I think

495
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 1: people look at his stats from last year. He had

496
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: forty nine receptions. If he had nine touchdowns, he was

497
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: second on the team if the season goes the way

498
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: it has the last two. The first two weeks, nobody.

499
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: They hung thirty one on the World champions in forty

500
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: one on the Titans. You know yesterday, Yeah, the offense

501
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: was struggling. A lot of it had to do I

502
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: think with the big guys up front not being able

503
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: to hold and stand up to the defense. They couldn't

504
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: run the football because they couldn't push. I think the

505
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: big guys went down. They were down to their offensive

506
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: lineman six, seven and eight offensive line maybe seventh, eighth

507
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: and ninth offensive linemen. In the scheme of things. They

508
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: weren't good up front yesterday, or as good as they

509
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: wanted to be. And in fairness, to your point, knocks

510
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: had to be kept in a lot to help with

511
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: the protection. I'm not I'm not gonna overreact to this loss,

512
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: just like I'm not gonna overly you know be. I mean,

513
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were sitting there at three and oh love

514
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: and life, They're one Literally, think about this, the Dolphins

515
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: are one player. The Bills now they got all these problems.

516
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: They can't finish close games. They're they're struggling. They weren't

517
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: ready to play you say what you want. They should

518
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: have played better despite all the things they had going

519
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: into the game that we all knew about. And now

520
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: everybody's like, wow, they don't tell our good knocks enough.

521
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: They didn't do this enough, they didn't do that enough.

522
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: If they pull that win out, you couldn't find enough superlatives.

523
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: If the kick goes through and wasn't partially blocked, if

524
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: Milano catches the pass. Not only are the is the

525
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: narrative completely different. It's the same team win or lose.

526
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: They're the same team. The narrative is completely different. And

527
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: the Dolphins look like a laughing stock for dropping a

528
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: game to this Bills team when TWA would have like, say,

529
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: for instance, if he throws the pick six to Matt Milano,

530
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: So Tua throws a pick six to lose the game,

531
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: and you got a butt pump a butt punt. Yeah,

532
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: you got a butt punt that turns Miami goes from

533
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: being three and Ozero and the toast of the town

534
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: being the best thing ever to literally a laughing stock.

535
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: They got a quarterback that scored nineteen points against the

536
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: Bills team with rookie corners and all this stuff, and

537
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: they got this high track team. They got that and

538
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: they got a butt punt. So that's how razor thin

539
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: this game was. I get it. Bills had every chance

540
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: to win it, and they should have win it, and

541
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna kick themselves when it comes down the end

542
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: of the season and they're chasing the Dolphins for the

543
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: next three months. They're chasing the Dolphins for the next

544
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: three months and all of that. I get. It was

545
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: a big game, it is a division game, but that's

546
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: the razor thin margin we're talking about. A Bills team

547
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: comes in with the roster in the shape that it's in,

548
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: with the heat the way it is, the guy's dropping

549
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: right and left, they lose a game by two points.

550
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: That's the razor thin margins we're talking about. So the

551
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins would go from the penthouse right now. They had

552
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: a question on one of the talk shows this morning,

553
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: is Miami the most complete team in the league? Are

554
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: you seriously? And I think most Bills fans right now

555
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: would say, you know what I hope too, is the

556
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins quarterback for the next ten years. That's Bills fans.

557
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: So that's what the razor thin we're talking about. And

558
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: the Bills got there with a depleted roster on a

559
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: day when they had a bunch of guys go out

560
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: with heat exhaustion, and they had every chance to win

561
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: that game and they just couldn't come find a way

562
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: to do it. And I mean everybody contributed to it.

563
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: Milano's dropped interception gave Davis dropped touchdown, josh One hopping

564
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: and on the fourth and short to the corner of

565
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: the end zone for a touchdown, fumbled snap, missed block

566
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: on the edge by your left tackle, and the running

567
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: back that led to a sack strip that gave him

568
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: their first touchdown. I mean, there's like play after play

569
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: after play that if it goes the other way, the

570
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: entire game is different. Yeah. So okay, I'm not gonna

571
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: this team is the same team it was going into yesterday.

572
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna be better now going forward as they get

573
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: healthier and get you know, hydrated, and we'll see the

574
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins may continue to win games. They found a way

575
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks and unlikely circumstances, good for them.

576
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: We'll play him again later and we'll see where we stand.

577
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna overreact to this game on either

578
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: side of it. Miami is the Bills. I still don't

579
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: think this game tells you exactly where the Bills are

580
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: right now with the roster the way it is and

581
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: the way they played yesterday day, and I don't think

582
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: and I think Miami is kind of who we thought

583
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: they were. Their defense was very salty yesterday, really salty.

584
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: We knew they We always knew that. We knew they

585
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: had a good defense. The question is was their offense

586
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: going to be able to take the next step to

587
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: help them win games. They were anemic on offense yesterday. Yeah,

588
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: do you think their office took another step yet? They

589
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: were anemic gun offense, But they made the critical plays

590
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: in the football game. They were three for three in

591
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: the red zone. When they needed a big play, they

592
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: got it third and twenty two, waddled down the middle

593
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 1: of the field for a big game to put them

594
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: in first and goal, and then they cash in and

595
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: go in the end zone. So they didn't make as

596
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: many plays as the Bills did, but they made the

597
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: most important ones and that's why they won the football game.

598
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: And they did it in only thirty nine plays too.

599
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't have that much time of possession

600
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: and the Bills, I mean, I was laughing yesterday. I

601
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: was like, the Bills just got tired of play an

602
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: offense they got they punched themselves out. I told you

603
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: not get in the end zone and they had that

604
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: twenty places when they play arrived. Was the worst thing

605
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: that happened to them. They only got three points and

606
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: they completely exhausted everyone on offense they had. I'm telling you,

607
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: I watched the body language from I went down to

608
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: the field with five minutes left. The body language of

609
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: the guys on the field on offense told you everything

610
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: you needed to know. They had nothing. They would have

611
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: been better off going three and out on that twenty

612
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: play drive. Yeah, seriously, that's how bad it was out

613
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: down on the field. Completely they had left. So that's

614
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: so I'm they were running some fumes. We know the

615
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: team's not gonna win twenty games in a row and

616
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, and you're gonna lose games. Um,

617
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: this is a loss that you know, it's disappointing and frustrating. UM,

618
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it should be disheartening. This is a

619
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: team that really gave gave it a valiant effort under

620
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: really adverse circumstances that that were out of their control basically.

621
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean they were running on guts and pure metal.

622
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean they still got to the end of the

623
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: game with a chance to win. And I and I'm

624
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: not buying into the thing where they lost poison. They're

625
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: not good in close games. I'm come on, No, that

626
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: was a that was a matter of exhaustion, not a

627
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: matter of the Rams game was on. The Rams game

628
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: was a one point, one point or one possession game

629
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and they beat them by twenty

630
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: so And there have been games all along the past

631
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: where it was close going into the going into the

632
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and the Bills win by double digits. And

633
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: we know they when they win, they win by double digits.

634
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: When they lose, they lose like they did yesterday, and

635
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: people are thinking that's somehow a fault. I have a

636
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: hard time getting there with that logic. We gotta take

637
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: a break here, but when we come back, Morrior phone

638
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: calls eight oh three five fifty one eight eight five

639
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty open line for you there, and

640
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: we'll get back to your biggest takeaways from yesterday's twenty

641
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: one nineteen loss to the Dolphins back in a moment

642
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: here on one Bills line presented by Colloid of Health.

643
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. I welcome back to One Bills

644
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: Live on a Buffalo Football Monday. On the heels and

645
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: the Bills twenty one nineteen loss to the Dolphins to

646
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: drop to two and one on the season. Back to

647
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: the phones, we go into Ben and Amhurst. Next we

648
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: got for his Ben. You're on one Bills Live. Hey guys, um,

649
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: I just think a lot of people are kind of

650
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: underestimating how much that deep impact of the game. I mean,

651
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: I spent twenty years on active duty and spent a

652
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of the time in the Middle East, and the

653
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: heat can absolutely destroy not only just your body physically,

654
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: but mentally. You experience a cognitive and neurological dysfunction similar

655
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: to a lethargy you experienced in a coma. It's like, um,

656
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: it's like a computer overheating and your brain just can't process.

657
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: So on top of all that physical, you know, impact

658
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: from the heat. Now you're trying to process complex task

659
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: and it's almost like there's a delay. So on top

660
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: of that physical stuff, it's like you're trying to walk

661
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: through maybe a protection or a route or something in

662
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: your head and your brain's just not function in the

663
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: right way, for lack of a better explanation, So question that, Yeah,

664
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: no question. The heat was a big factor. Yeah, And

665
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, like I was saying earlier, the hardest thing

666
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: to do as an athlete when you are physically exhausted

667
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: is to mentally focus, especially in oppressive conditions like that.

668
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: And like I said, I was talking to Isa McKenzie

669
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: after the game, he was throwing up before halftime. You

670
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: had to take an ivy at halftime with an untold

671
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: number of players, presumably. Greg Rousseau, who's from Miami, said

672
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: it was one of the top two hottest games he

673
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: has ever played in. So even guys that are used

674
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: to it called it extreme. The difference is, and otherwise

675
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: we may not be talking about the difference is that

676
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: the Dolphins bench was constantly in the shade and the

677
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: Bills was constantly in the sun. Right, they had guys

678
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: over there that were they had shade tarps. That isn't

679
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: a that is an additional fifteen yeah, twenty degrees difference.

680
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you can we all know how better it

681
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: much better it is in the shade than it Here's

682
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: where that goes. That makes a difference because there was

683
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: no escape for Bills between series. Everything. It was all

684
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: and here's the games and the ship that gets played

685
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: because the rule is that whatever the home bench has,

686
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: the visiting bench has as well. But you can't control

687
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: the sunny side and the shady side of the field.

688
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: So naturally the home team gives the visiting team the

689
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: sunny side, knowing it's far hotter in the sun. Now,

690
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: people were asking on social media why weren't they using

691
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: the misters, you know, with the fans, because the Dolphins

692
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: were not using them. So because the Dolphins were not

693
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: using them, the Bills did not have the option to

694
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: use them themselves. Now, if the Dolphins decide, hey, we're

695
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: going to turn on the fans and the misters and

696
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: use those, then the ones that are sitting behind the

697
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: bench for the Bills, they can have access to those.

698
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: They purposely did not use them because they're sitting in

699
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: the shade. They didn't need them. It's a big difference,

700
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: but pure games, and that's that's part of it. Just

701
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: like the Bills in a cold game could choose not

702
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: to use heated benches if they don't have their benches

703
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: on and heated, the visiting team doesn't get them either.

704
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the way it goes. Let's go

705
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: back to the phones and to Walter in Toronto. We

706
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: got first. Walter. Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.

707
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: I just have a couple of points and then I'd

708
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: like to hear your comments. I'd like to see the

709
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: Players Association get involved. For the first point is there's

710
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: no way to should have been playing. I mean, whatever

711
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: the protocol is, the word of the player is not

712
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: part of it. That's all they want to play. But

713
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: forget that. You look at his head. It was wobbling

714
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: long before his body was. That's the first point. The

715
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: second point is why are we playing these games at

716
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: one o'clock. It's a different climate than it was thirty

717
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: years ago. I mean, there's questions for this. The Soccer

718
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: World Cup is being played in the desert. They're playing

719
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: in November. They're not playing in June because they recognize

720
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 1: you can't play in the desert in June. So they're

721
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: playing November and they're playing the evening like at the

722
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: very most the schedule. People like the NFL is a

723
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: juggernaut because they they do most things right. But why

724
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: are we playing this game at one o'clock. They should

725
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: have been playing at four like it's Jampa Bay, or

726
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: even better at eight o'clock. Because also watching that late

727
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: game yesterday and I was agony, Yeah, well you're not

728
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a hard time selling anything but Sunday

729
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: one o'clock games the NFL unless it's a primetime game.

730
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, but there's no way because

731
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: I'll say this that that game, as hot as it

732
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: was and as many times as I've been down there,

733
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: Brownie's been down there, that was a little bit of

734
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: an aberration even for Miami. Greg Rousseau, who I spoke

735
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: to after the game, We asked him where did that

736
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: game rank? He said it was one of the top

737
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: two hottest games he has ever played in. This is

738
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: the kid who grew up in Miami and played at

739
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: the University of Miami. He did point out though, that

740
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: they rarely in college play one o'clock games. At Miami.

741
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: They usually played at four o'clock or at night, and

742
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: they do it on purpose. They do it on purpose,

743
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: So maybe it's something the NFL should look at. You

744
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: got twelve other games going on in the one o'clock window.

745
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: So there's nothing that says you can't move a game

746
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: that's early in the season in Miami to the four

747
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: o'clock window, and then at least the second half it's

748
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: cooling off. Yeah, and there were some problems in Tampa

749
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: two that you know, Green Bay guys were puking on

750
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: the sidelines as well because of the heat. That does.

751
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that it was as bad in Tampa,

752
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: and I don't know the layout of that statum. There's

753
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: no shade in that statium for either team either, So

754
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: you're you're not gonna get as much controversy as well,

755
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. But again, a four o'clock game, the

756
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: sun's not a factor anymore. By the time you get

757
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: to the second quarter. It's down behind the side of

758
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: the stadium. The sun's low enough in the sky where

759
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: it's there isn't a sunny side of the field anymore.

760
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: They're not going to do that. They're not going to

761
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: chase the schedule. If you get enough players complaining to

762
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: the NFLPA, they may be able to lobby the league

763
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: to say, hey, home games in Miami in the month

764
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: of September start at four o'clock. You could have one

765
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: hundred players complain, but if maybe two or three owners didn't,

766
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: he might get some. You might get somewhere. Let's talk

767
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: about the two injury. Okay, I think everybody under the

768
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: sun that saw it felt that he, after whipping his

769
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: head into the ground, had a concussion, couldn't stand up,

770
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: fell down twice, was escorted off the field. He apparently

771
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: passed concussion protocol. Now here's the thing that I don't

772
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: think a lot of fans are aware of. In this scenario,

773
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: when he is going through the concussion protocol, there is

774
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: an independent neurological consultant who has been in place for

775
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: the better part of the last six or seven years.

776
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: That independent neurological consultant is not connected to the football

777
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: team in any way, shape or form. He is the

778
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: last means of clearance. If he believes that the player

779
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: successfully passed concussion protocol, he decides whether the player can

780
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: re enter the football game. We were as surprised as

781
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: anybody when at halftime he comes out to start the

782
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: second half, he's warming up on the sidelines and apparently

783
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: passed concussion protocol. The Miami Dolphins reported it to the

784
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: press box as a head injury. They never changed the

785
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: designation of the injury. He re entered the game. The

786
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: best part is after the game. Here is Mike McDaniels

787
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 1: direct quote when asked about to his injury. Quote, Now, Ta,

788
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: he went out with a lower back and I hadn't

789
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: had that rep with him yet. He kind of got

790
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: bent back pretty significantly. On a quarterback sneak earlier in

791
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: the game. I was kind of with everyone else when

792
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: he hit his head on the ground. I assumed it

793
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: was a head injury, but his legs got wobbly because

794
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: his lower back was completely loose. As he described it,

795
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: he said his lower back was like gumby or something.

796
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: And quote here's what two was said about his injury.

797
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: Quote on the quarterback sneak, I kind of got my

798
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: legs caught under someone and then they were trying to

799
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: push back and it kind of felt like I hyper

800
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: extended my back or something. Then on the next play,

801
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: I kind of hit my back and kind of hurt.

802
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: I got up and then that's kind of why I stumbled.

803
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: My back locked up on me. For the most part,

804
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: I'm good. I passed whatever concussion protocol they had, so

805
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm good. Yeah. There you go. Here's the thing. If

806
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: two wants to play, let him play. I meant, that's fine,

807
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: But what about the independent neurological consultant. He's supposed to

808
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: be the gatekeeper in the last line of defense to

809
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: prevent teams from bending the rules to get a player

810
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: they need back on the field. So what the neurological, independent,

811
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: neurological whatever consultant. If twos wants to play and knows

812
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: he's got to pass the protocols to play and lies

813
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: about his and wants to lie about his symptoms and

814
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: tell the neg my back, it's my back, it's not

815
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: my head, um, and believe me, Guys have conversations about

816
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: this about if you did if how would you do it,

817
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: What would happen? Why would they pass one guy and

818
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: not another? They know the players know the protocols inside out.

819
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: So if Tuah, you know, comes to his senses enough,

820
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: even after a head injury, to say, you know, I'm

821
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna pass this, I feel good. The neurological guys just

822
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: gotta say, okay, if he's if if he's saying it

823
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: wasn't my head, it was my back and my and

824
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't keep my feet because my lower back, gave out.

825
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: The neurological guy's got to take the guy at his word. Well,

826
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: the reason that doesn't wash, though, Steve, is the guy

827
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: never reached for his backhanding point. That's favorite I've had,

828
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: I've thrown out. Have you thrown out? That's exactly what

829
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. The first thing you do that back

830
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: locks up on your It is a reflex. It is

831
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: not an action. Whether you're six years old or ninety

832
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: six years old, when you get hurt, you touch it

833
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: with your hand. Whether it's a head injury, each back injury, media,

834
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: a shaving nick a pulled muscle, a broken bone, a gash,

835
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: a hitting the shin, what you name the injury. When

836
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: it hurts, you touch it with your hand too. And

837
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 1: never did that. So it's my opinion to a circumvented

838
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: the protocol and there's no full proof way of getting

839
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: it done that the league has tried to put this

840
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: in place for players safety. I get at the NFL

841
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: Union they're trying to do the right thing. But if

842
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: the player wants to play and he's aware enough to

843
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: just say listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna lie, I'm just

844
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna here's my symptoms. It's not what you think.

845
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: It's this. They've got to say, oh, okay, yeah, but

846
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: suddenly your back's better, like that you can play? Come on, like,

847
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: what is that? So? Yeah? I mean so for me,

848
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: you say you have a lower back injury and now

849
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: you're okay throwing the ball for yards down the field.

850
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm still not buying it. So the NFLPA

851
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: has launched an investigation into the handling of his concussion protocol.

852
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: Where does it go? I think ultimately it goes nowhere.

853
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: It's not I don't think it's gonna go anywhere. I

854
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: don't think there's gonna be any penalty. And just so

855
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: you know, if you violate the concussion Protocol in the

856
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: league finds you guilty of that, the only penalty for

857
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: a first time offense is remedial instruction for the people involved,

858
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 1: namely the medical team, and a one hundred fifty thousand

859
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: dollars five Well, here's the thing. That's it. You won't

860
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: hear about this again until maybe ten years after two

861
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: of retires. You'll come back and point to this as

862
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: saying they let me do it. And the end the

863
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: club knew about it. That's when you'll hear about it next.

864
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: If a player wants to play, it's hard to keep

865
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: him out when when they're willing to lie to circumvent

866
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: the rules. Now I'm not saying too it did that

867
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: a way. It looks like he did to all of us.

868
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: And maybe that's our opinion, and maybe we think it's

869
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: the truth, but there's no way around it. And for me,

870
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: I was one of those guys. Listen, just I'm good,

871
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play, don't I got it and you

872
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: played at a different time. It's all about that. But

873
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: that's the way it is. And if the guy wants

874
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: to play, I don't have to let him play. The

875
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: problem is it's you know, if it comes back to

876
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: haunt them later in the season, or maybe this week

877
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: in practice when he has headaches a short week, we

878
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: had a play on third, Maybe it comes back, or

879
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: maybe two it shook it off. Maybe he was rattled

880
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: for a minute and concuss him. It's not going to

881
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: take him that long to get better. Who knows. All

882
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: My point is, I'm not too worried about it one

883
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: way or the other. I'm fine with two. As the

884
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins quarterback against my team. Yeah, so, and in

885
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: this case it's great. Now, if it was Tom Brady,

886
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: we would all be like, you know, up in arms

887
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: about right. It's just one more It's just one more instance, right,

888
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, I get it all right. Let the

889
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: league in the Union worry about it. Break time for

890
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: us here. When we come back, we'll let you know

891
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: what the three hottest plays of the game. Where a

895
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: Seven's Hottest Plays of the Game, presented by the New

896
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: York Lottery, And we go first to the first touchdown drive.

897
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen beats the blitz steve to find Devin Singletary

898
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: for a two yard touchdown. It was a nice play.

899
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: It was at the end of this drive where it

900
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: was on a fourth down, I believe his fourth and

901
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: goal as it was was after Josh had been tackled

902
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: short by Melvin Ingram. Devin Singletary just slips out, slips

903
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: right by the blitzer. Josh shows it right past the

904
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: blitzer to Devin Singletary and it looked easy. But man,

905
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: oh man, the pressure was on on the fourth down,

906
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: but great execution there by the Bills to finish off

907
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: the opening drive. For the eighth game in a row,

908
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: they scored touchdown in their opening drive, ties a record

909
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen again, second touchdown drive, this one to Isaiah

910
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: McKenzie who was running wide open underneath there Steve Across. Yeah,

911
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: this play was set up earlier in the drive by

912
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: McKenzie himself too, with a long catch over the shoulder,

913
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 1: but they just lost him right there. They got tied

914
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: up with Diggs in the back end. He had you know,

915
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: Diggs was running through the middle of the end zone,

916
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: two guys on him, and Isaiah was running down the

917
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: front in front of the end zone with nobody on him. Josh,

918
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: it was once again, it was an easy touchdown and

919
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: it was right to the same area of the field

920
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: where Singletary had just caught his except at the other

921
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: end of the field. That made it fourteen seven Bills.

922
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: And then the defensive play that we highlighted came at

923
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, after two of left

924
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: the game. Teddy Bridgewater in a quarterback and Greg Russeau

925
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: gets to him for the sack. Yeah, And Russou did

926
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: a nice job here. Came from the inside and got

927
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: right up on a stunt and came all the way

928
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: I think, all the way around, and he came for

929
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: the left end spot or the right defensive end spot,

930
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: up and under with boogie basham, and it worked to

931
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: perfection and they got the big loss and they walked

932
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: into the half fourteen old. Crazy thing about that was

933
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: he was reaching for the ball. He's trying to rip

934
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: it out of Bridgewater's hands, and he was able to

935
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: hold onto it, so he said, all right, I'll just

936
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: grab the legs and take the sack. Here one and

937
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: a half sacks, two quarterback hits for Greg Rousseau. A

938
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: quiet but powerful defensive performance that kids coming on keep

939
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: an eye on him. He is going to be making

940
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: more and more of an impact with each passing week.

941
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: Those are your Triple Red Seven's Hottest plays of the Game,

942
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: presented by the New York Lottery. We have to take

943
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: a break here because when we come back, we're joined

944
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: by Eric Wood saw the game from the booth. He'll

945
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: give us his thoughts on what unfolded in South Florida,

946
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: including an interesting conversation that we'll have with him about

947
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: that center to quarterback exchange with the team second and

948
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: third team centers late in the game. On Sunday, It's

949
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: Eric Wood coming up next here on One Bill's Live,

950
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: presented by Collot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio Lease.

951
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by called Light to Health. All right,

952
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: our number two on a Buffalo Football Monday, Chris Brown,

953
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you and getting our weekly visit now

954
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: with Bill's radio color analyst Eric Wood, who joins us

955
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: here on the show. Or his thoughts on what it

956
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: looked like um the booth down in Miami Gardens yesterday. Eric,

957
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: how you doing? You're recovered? Did you have you properly

958
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: rehydrated after yesterday? I have, And I'll tell you I

959
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be a hot one when I

960
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: broke a full sweat walking into the game yesterday, just

961
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: walking from my car into the stadium. It was hot.

962
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: And we talked about it last week on the show

963
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: that even if it's mid eighties and that's what they're projecting,

964
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: that humidity down there, they got rained the previous day.

965
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: You bake in the sun the entire time. It is

966
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: hot and it and you're not just talking about being

967
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: in the sun for three hours, you're warming up beforehand.

968
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: It's a lot of time in the sun, in the heat.

969
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: And with so many guys down yesterday, the Bill spent

970
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: so much time on offense that man, guys were just

971
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: dropping like flies. Yeah, And I had pooh pooed that

972
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: thought going into the game because I you know, like you,

973
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: I've played down there and we had hot games, but

974
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: it was never really oppressive. This was a different kind

975
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: of I mean, this was a game was an aberration

976
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: even from Miami. Am I right, Yeah, you're right. They

977
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: were cramping up as well. And when you talk about

978
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: being on a short week two with Buffalo, so you're

979
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: playing with fifteen ish percent less recovery time, losing a

980
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: day of preparation for that game, you know, it became

981
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: really difficult situation. And going into the game, we talked

982
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: about in the pregame that it would help the Bills

983
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: if they could win the time of possession keep this

984
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: defense off the field as much as possible, because they

985
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: did not have much depth on the defense side of

986
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: the ball, and they just took it to a whole

987
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: new extreme. You run ninety plays in a game, I

988
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: don't care if you're playing in fifty degree weather, that's

989
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna be tough on the offense. You play in what

990
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: recording on my phone it felt like ninety nine yesterday

991
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: and you're baking in the sun the entire time. It

992
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: became a whole different animal, right. Yeah, you mentioned, you know,

993
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: the ninety plays from scrimmage for the offense, Eric, I

994
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: don't know what your advantage point was, but for me,

995
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: that twenty play field goal drive. The offensive players were

996
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 1: done after that. If you watched receivers after that, with

997
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: like a quarter left in that football game, they were

998
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: running a three quarter speed. They could not get consistent

999
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: separation simply because they couldn't run at one hundred percent

1000
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: capacity on their routes like they had tried to do

1001
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: through the first half of the game. Yeah, you're exactly right.

1002
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: And that's where the red zone touchdown percentage played such

1003
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: a big role in this game, because both teams were

1004
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: getting so worn down. But when you're the Bills and

1005
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,479
Speaker 1: you only go two for four in the red zone

1006
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: and you miss a thirty eight yard field goal, that

1007
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: essentially costs you the game, and when you look back

1008
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: at NFL games, the turnover percentage always plays a big

1009
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: factor in the game. But another one that I always

1010
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: look at after the game is red zone touchdown percentage.

1011
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: When you can score touchdowns in the red zone at

1012
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: a high clip, you win a lot of games in

1013
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. And the Bills just weren't able to convert

1014
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,959
Speaker 1: down there. Obviously, the second and one from the goal

1015
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: is what everyone's talking about, but there were other drives

1016
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: that either they had to work so hard to get

1017
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: the ball into the end zone, which led to an

1018
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: exorbitant amount of plays in the game, but then at

1019
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: the end you settle for a field goal and then

1020
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: you're not able to punch it in at the end

1021
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: and it ultimately cost you the game. Yeah, it was interesting.

1022
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 1: I thought this was kind of like one of those

1023
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: old prize fights. You think, one guy punches and punches

1024
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: and punches and punches and spends the entire fifteen rounds punching,

1025
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: and then the guy wins it with a knockout at

1026
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: the end because the other guy's so tired of beating

1027
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: the guy up. Basically, yeah, the Bills, absolutely it was

1028
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 1: a dominating loss for the Bills. I mean five hundred

1029
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: plus yards, Josh you for four fifty seven, a couple

1030
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. They didn't you know, they had the one turnover,

1031
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: but goodness gracious it was. It was statistically a dominating

1032
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: performance and they just couldn't get the payoff at the end.

1033
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: They had a missed field goal or a partially blocked

1034
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: field goal. And I'm saying, and I'm saying to Brownie,

1035
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: if you think about how the narrative of this game,

1036
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: and I know we're in the overreaction age that we

1037
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: live in, the Bills pull this off and win that

1038
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:15,240
Speaker 1: game yesterday. It is the amount of praise and superlatives

1039
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: that would be hung on the Bills would be unbelievable today,

1040
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: doing it with a banged up roster, doing it in

1041
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: the heat, doing it, you know, all the things that

1042
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: happened in that game. But if one of those plays

1043
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 1: goes the other way, that's the way that game would

1044
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: have been. And Miami the same thing to a scoring

1045
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: twenty point twenty one points against a depleted Bills team.

1046
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: And then they have a butt punt as well, he

1047
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: almost had if they If the one play is the

1048
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 1: pick six by Milano, Miami is walking out of their thinking.

1049
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 1: They got to blow the whole thing up and start

1050
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: from scratch. I agree, and it shows the talent the

1051
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: fight of this roster to make this a two point

1052
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: ball game because of all the things that went wrong

1053
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: for the Bills in the game, all the injury as

1054
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: they came with im. I'm with you, Steve, that's this

1055
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 1: tough of the conditions you're gonna play in down there.

1056
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: I hope this December game is just the exact opposite

1057
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: conditions and maybe not any wind because we can still

1058
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: air it out and I like our passing attack even

1059
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: better than their's with Waddle and Hill on the outside.

1060
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: But they're gonna be in for it when they come

1061
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: up here. And Steve, you got to play in just

1062
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: an incredible time in this rivalry, and I'm excited for

1063
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: it to be back. And yes, you don't want somebody

1064
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: else emerging in the division. But the chippyness that was

1065
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: out there on the field, and chippyness does not lead

1066
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: to a rivalry unless both teams are good, if that

1067
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: makes sense, be both good. Walking out of the stadium

1068
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: after the game, it was chippy amongst the fans walking

1069
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: out in in a good way. There was no fights,

1070
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: but bickering back and forth and rivalries are what makes

1071
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: sports fun. The emotion that comes with rivalries is what

1072
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: makes it fun to be a fan of any sports team.

1073
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 1: And it looks like this could be a rivalry that

1074
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: we'll see for years to come if Miami stays on

1075
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: this trajectory. But to me, to go back to the

1076
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 1: original point, the fact that they only lose by two

1077
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: and you have Gabe Davis possess a touchdown and then

1078
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: it drops, and then you know, Melano drops the pick

1079
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: six and you don't execute Josh miss is one of

1080
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 1: the first throws you've seen him miss by a wide

1081
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: margin in a long time in a crucial situation. Even

1082
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: at that, all that being said, there's still in a

1083
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: position at the end to win it. I still like

1084
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: this Bills team a lot. I like I still If

1085
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: I'm doing my power rankings, I'm not necessarily jumping the

1086
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins over the Bills at this point, considering that all

1087
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: of their injuries minus Micah Hyde, these are injuries that

1088
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 1: guys will be coming back from at some point this year.

1089
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: You will get an all Pro cornerback back on your team,

1090
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 1: and all Pro safety will be coming back in Jordan Poyer.

1091
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of great ballplayers coming

1092
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: back on this roster and hopefully soon. Let's talk about

1093
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: the defensive effort here, Eric, because Leslie Frazier had a

1094
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 1: great game plan, you know, decided to play a lot

1095
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: of quarters coverage, keep everything in front of them, a

1096
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: lot of zone. As you and I discussed on the

1097
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: pregame radio show, they've played mostly zone all year long.

1098
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: Didn't seem to change yesterday, and understandably so you're only

1099
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: on the field for thirty nine snaps, you're able to

1100
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: get off the field. Red zone defense was a problem.

1101
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: But besides that, what did you make of the defensive

1102
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: effort in the plan? I thought the plan was great,

1103
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: and it was great throughout the day. I thought they

1104
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: had a couple very well timed blitzes as well. You know,

1105
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: don't let these safeties just have to sit back there

1106
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: the whole game. They brought tomar Hamlin a couple of times,

1107
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: and those were effective when they brought them throughout the game.

1108
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: As far as upfront, I thought Greg Rousseau had another

1109
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: good ball game. In Man, you talk about a merging

1110
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: star potentially in this league, and what he can do

1111
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: rushing the passer. He's always been He's been good against

1112
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: the run since he got here, using his long arms

1113
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,479
Speaker 1: being coachable, and now he's adding some passing rush moves

1114
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: with it. I love the fact that they're bumping him

1115
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: inside more. And I think back to my first and

1116
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: part of my second year when I played guard. I

1117
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to. I wouldn't have loved a match up

1118
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: against a guy who's faster than me, potentially stronger than me,

1119
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: and he's got almost a seven foot wingspan to put

1120
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: his arms down the middle of my chest. He's gonna

1121
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: be a matchup nightmare. And so as this season goes on,

1122
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: you have Von Miller, who's a matchup nightmare. Now you

1123
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: have Greg Rousseau. You get back at Oliver de Kwon

1124
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: Jones could rush the passer. Jordan Phillips through two weeks

1125
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: was one of our most effective pass rushers. I mean

1126
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: this Aj Vanessa, I mean they got boogie bashing was

1127
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: effective in week one. They have so many guys that

1128
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: can rush the passer. And yeah, I was impressed with

1129
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: the defensive effort. I thought the game plan was great.

1130
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: And then obviously, you know, you could say the red

1131
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: zone defense has got to be better. But you know, realistically,

1132
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: you give up fourteen points in that game, you turn

1133
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: the ball over inside your ten yard line, you're likely

1134
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: giving up seven points. So you give up two real

1135
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: drives that go for points. That's a that's a sturdy

1136
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: effort there. Yeah, and it's two. The Dolphins are what

1137
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: they are. But their defense actually did play really well

1138
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bill's offense that really came in. It

1139
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: was it was worse at the end of the day

1140
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: than it was at the beginning. And they came in,

1141
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have their starting center, the Bills didn't, and

1142
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: then they lost the backup center, and they lost the

1143
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: right guard and they lost the right tackle. So after

1144
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: that it kind of got harder. And a wide receiver

1145
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: their fourth wide receiver and Knox came out, so they

1146
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: lost a ton of guys during the game as well.

1147
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: But still the Dolphin defense really was I think the

1148
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: story of this game as far as the offenses and

1149
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: defense on the both sides of the ball, because of

1150
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: what they were able to do to Josh in the offense.

1151
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: You're right, and I think crowd noise played a touch

1152
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: of a factor as well. And I say that because

1153
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: this Bill's offense has been and Josh Allen in particular

1154
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: has been so great against the blitz these last couple

1155
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: of years. I mean, the Bills have dared them to

1156
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: blitz them. And maybe some of the communication was to

1157
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: touch off because because of the crowd noise, you know,

1158
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: they're getting the line a little bit late. I think

1159
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: back to that sack fumble. You know, I was looking

1160
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: for them to call a time out in that situation

1161
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: because the worst thing you can do is make a

1162
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: critical air inside your own ten yard line. And you know,

1163
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: they rushed that snap at the end and Josh gets

1164
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: surprised by the blitz. But got to give credit to

1165
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They they played pretty fearless and called a

1166
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: pretty fearless game defensively, some cover zero looks which you

1167
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: haven't seen against the Bills in a couple of years

1168
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: since they put that that the bed. I believe it

1169
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty that was kind of the m O

1170
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: early in the season, maybe twenty nineteen when and it

1171
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: was the Ravens, the Patriots and these teams that had

1172
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: a couple quality corners, they said, look, you don't have

1173
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: the weapons outside we're just gonna play cover zero. That way,

1174
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: we get a free hitter at Josh will probably be

1175
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: able to contain him in the pocket, and we'll just

1176
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: take our chances. We're not gonna let Josh Allen make

1177
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: plays all over the field. The Dolphins did a similar

1178
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: game plan. Now they also had some effective pass rush,

1179
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: which a lot of it was coming right up the middle.

1180
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: When you look at you know the you're on your

1181
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: third center by the end of the game. Van Roden

1182
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: had some struggles early in the game. You have Tommy

1183
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Doyle come in who played pretty well at times at guard.

1184
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: All that being said, that's that's a tough matchup for

1185
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: those guys on the road against some really good players.

1186
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: But this is Miami defense. Up front, they have a

1187
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: lot of talent, and on the back end they have

1188
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. They had Melvin Ingram. He seems

1189
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: to give the Bills fitz every time they face him,

1190
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: and then Xavian Howard. I was concerned with him and

1191
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: how effective he could be before the game coming, you know,

1192
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: being questionable with a groin injury. But when you get

1193
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: warn down like the Bills receivers, did you lose Kumro

1194
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,479
Speaker 1: for a while Mackenzie has to go to the locker

1195
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: room and get an IV. Those guys were just so

1196
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: gas that, yes, you can call pressures more effectively when

1197
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: you have tired receivers on the outside. And we've had

1198
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about this with the callers today, Eric,

1199
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: But I know the goal line play with Josh and

1200
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: the shotgun and not under center was an issue there

1201
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: in the second half, I believe. Is it still Van

1202
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: Roden or was Man's in the game. Either way, you've

1203
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: got a back handers in the game at the end. Yeah,

1204
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: So you've got a third string center in there, and

1205
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: people are like, well, I don't care. It's pro football.

1206
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,439
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be worried about a snap being an issue there.

1207
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's second string, third string, fourth string.

1208
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Could you just explain why maybe it's not as air

1209
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: tight as it might be with your starter. Well, one,

1210
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: those guys haven't gotten many reps together, and you could say,

1211
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: well they should have. Well, they're not going to get

1212
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: a out of reps throughout the week this week. It's

1213
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: all it was all about, how do you get Van

1214
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: Roten and Josh on the exact same page to have

1215
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: the center quarterback exchange goes smoothly, and you saw two

1216
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: fumbled snaps throughout the game with Van Roten and so

1217
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Greg Mans comes in the game. The hardest snap for

1218
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: me personally in a ball game would either be fourth

1219
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: and one or fourth and short or third and short,

1220
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: or on the goal line where we're running a QB sneak.

1221
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: By the time the ball gets to the center, I'm

1222
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: already getting hit and probably on both sides of my body.

1223
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: I also can't get blown up or else the play

1224
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: is getting blown up as well. And so while my

1225
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: hand is on my way back to the center or

1226
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: back to the quarterback to complete the snap, I'm already

1227
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: getting hit. That's a tough exchange. And you want to

1228
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: make sure that your air tight down there. And so, okay,

1229
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: was it probably going to be a successful snap? Yeah,

1230
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: But if it's not, now you lose two yards and

1231
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: you wasted it down. You didn't even give yourself a

1232
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: shot what I've seen the Bills do in the past,

1233
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: and you know with the read option there, I don't

1234
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: think that's a bad call. One thing I do like

1235
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: adding onto it, which can be tough because if you're

1236
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: a line to get down the field, then it's now

1237
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: a penalty. We saw it on the two point version

1238
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: play back in the snow game with Indianapolis. But when

1239
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: if you can leak a guy out, that kind of

1240
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: gives you an answer. So maybe you put Dawson Knox

1241
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: or somebody leaks out to kind of that short flat

1242
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: area and it gives Josh another option. If someone fires

1243
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: that edge because they were firing that edge knowing okay,

1244
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the defensive end's gonna crash, that gives Josh the read

1245
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: to keep it. Now we wrap a linebacker or we

1246
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: bring another guy off the edge. One way you can

1247
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: combat that is have a little dump off there as well.

1248
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that's something you add. I don't get paid money

1249
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: to be an offensive coordinator. This is a radio analyst

1250
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: with maybe the worst view of the stadium trying to

1251
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: call that play. So take it for what it's worth

1252
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: when you're trying to find answers moving forward. There's no

1253
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: one I'd rather have than McDermott and his staff evaluating

1254
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: these situations. But just to be clear, the reason it's

1255
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: an issue under center in that goal line or shore

1256
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: yardage is because of how quickly the defensive line is

1257
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: going to make contact with the center. That's what disrupts

1258
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: the integrity of the play. Right. Absolutely, they're lined up

1259
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: three inches from your face and as soon as that

1260
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: ball moves and they're not worried about jumping offsides in

1261
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: that situation, right because they only give up a half yard. Yeah, yeah,

1262
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: so they are completely triggered on any movement you make.

1263
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: And so as soon as that ball's coming, that center

1264
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: is getting blown up. That's how you combat a QB sneak.

1265
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: You put both the guys on both side of the center.

1266
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: The reason the Dolphins weren't in that look. So it's

1267
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: easy to say, now, will you should have run a

1268
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: QB sneak against that look? As soon as Josh gets

1269
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: under center, both those defensive tackles line up on both

1270
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: sides of the center, or you have a guy lined

1271
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: up straight over his nose. And I'm not saying your

1272
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: chance of fumbling that snap is eighty percent, but even

1273
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: if it's twenty percent, I don't like calling it right. Yeah,

1274
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: that's right, and it's it's a tough snapter before you're right,

1275
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: and and the with an backup, you want to get

1276
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: the playoff, so you call your play. Your best play

1277
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: out a shotgun instead of out of under center, or

1278
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: have Josh um you know, do the or have Josh

1279
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: go over the top, or run it from shotgun, whatever

1280
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: you want to do. But yeah, that's that's what we

1281
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: were getting at. And then and here's the thing as well,

1282
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: when you get into a game like this, and I've

1283
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: been down this road all the entire show up to

1284
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: this point, there are a handful or maybe even more

1285
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: in this game, a handful of plays that are in

1286
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: a two point ball game, they win or lose it,

1287
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: you're gotta have it plays or if you don't get it,

1288
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, you miss an opportunity. The whole game is

1289
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: changed from there out. Because it is such a close

1290
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: ball game, it's hard for me to overreact how good

1291
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: or bad this loss is. And it's and on both sides,

1292
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: either for the Miami Dolphins or the Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins, uh,

1293
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't stay on the field very much offensive.

1294
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: They had five punts, the Bills had one. But it's

1295
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: a close game. And I'm not really gonna overreact and

1296
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: say they got this problem, they gotta fix, they got

1297
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: that problem, gotta fix. They're the same team today. In

1298
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: this loss, as they would have been had they won.

1299
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: What do you think the real issues? You know going

1300
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: forward obviously health is an issue, but what do you

1301
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: think going forward now you're looking towards Baltimore. I don't

1302
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: know that there's that much to fix other than getting healthy. Yeah,

1303
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: I agree with you there. And maybe the emphasis becomes

1304
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: red zone offense and you find answers each in every season.

1305
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: It's going to be different answers. I loved in years

1306
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: past how they would use Isaiah McKenzie in the red zone,

1307
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: or Cole Beasley or Stefon Diggs on that kind of

1308
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: jet sweep motion, a little shovel pass. Yeah. I just

1309
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: think you're going to see more answers, and maybe inside

1310
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: the three yard line they get into a more traditional

1311
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: goal line offense look where they bringing a heavier personnel group.

1312
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: Maybe it's with Gabe Davis on the outside to give

1313
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: you some size to pull a defender out of the box.

1314
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: But getting a more traditional look when you have Guilliam

1315
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: at fullback, where maybe it's not a QB sneak, but

1316
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: you're running a more of a power offense, especially after

1317
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: a long drive when the defense is tired too. But

1318
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think if you're sitting here, you're

1319
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 1: completely panicked here today now I think you're saying to yourself, Man,

1320
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: we got to make those plays when they're there. And Steve,

1321
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it took a lot for me at the

1322
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 1: end of the broadcast not to just keep going back

1323
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: to fifteen plays that if they go differently, how much

1324
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: different this game is. And you know how it all

1325
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: plays out completely different. If field goals the end of

1326
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 1: the half, they gave Davis touchdown, the Milano interception drop,

1327
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: the short armed pass outside to Isaia McKenzie on the touchdown.

1328
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: You know, if Josh makes a play on the zone

1329
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 1: read on second and one, you know, there's you could

1330
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 1: literally if Isaia McKenzie gets out of bounds at the

1331
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: end of the game, and who knows if he could

1332
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: have got out of bounds in time, and if we

1333
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: could have got to kick off. I mean, there's just

1334
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 1: so many what ifs you can play in a two

1335
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: point game, and I think it's far from panic time,

1336
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 1: especially with the amount of backups that you have playing

1337
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: in that game because of injury. If anything, I'm encouraged

1338
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: with what I got and I'm encouraged that as this

1339
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: season goes on, you know, outside of Josh Allen, you

1340
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: can push through injury because this depth that's on this

1341
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: team and guys that understand the system is remarkable. To

1342
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: go against Waddle and Hill, and yes, Waddle gets over

1343
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: one hundred yards, but you hold Hill in check. Who's

1344
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: been who came into the game leading the league and

1345
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: receiving yards. I mean defensively, you played pretty well. And

1346
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: when you talk about having essentially two corners, two safeties

1347
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: out for this ball game and then you lose Benford

1348
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: as well, you have two corners, two safeties and two

1349
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: defensive tackles too, Yeah, your best two defensive tackles are

1350
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: out of this game. Yeah, and that in another play

1351
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: we could talk about. Here's here's one thing to me,

1352
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: and I want to give Jeff Schwartz credit. I saw

1353
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: him make the point. If the receiver for the Dolphins

1354
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: catches that ball at the goal line, and he catches

1355
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: it and Jaquan Johnson hits him, that's not a penalty.

1356
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: It was a clean hit. But instead he drops the

1357
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: ball and he hits him, and now it's a penalty.

1358
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: I understand he becomes a defenseless receiver at that point

1359
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't become a ball carrier. But man, that's really

1360
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: tough in a bang bang situation. And he and to me,

1361
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: I didn't love it because he didn't hit him in

1362
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: the head, you know, to me, right, yeah, you didn't

1363
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: take a shot on his head, and you didn't take

1364
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: a shot at his knee. You know, if you're a

1365
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: receiver coming over the middle of the field, you say, man,

1366
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: you can hit me in the chest as hard as

1367
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: you want, don't hit my knees, right, don't hit me

1368
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: in the head. And so that and then I mean

1369
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: you talk about what ifs throughout the game. What if

1370
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater's got to finish the game for the Dolphins,

1371
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: And we've addressed that. Yeah, we'ress my take on the injury,

1372
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: Derek Ay. If Tua wants to play and he's to

1373
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 1: either fib or just flat out lie about what he's

1374
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 1: feeling in his symptoms, yeah, if he's willing, if he

1375
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: can do there are there are gonna be holes in

1376
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: whatever protocols they put in place. And if in a

1377
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 1: sense like this, if the player has any input as

1378
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: to what he's feeling or how he's feeling, and the

1379
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: doctor has to take his word for it. The guy's

1380
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: going to be able to go back in and play. Yeah,

1381
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm neither here nor there with that. If if the

1382
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: guy wants to play and he's willing to live with

1383
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: the results, fine, in my opinion, I'm not gonna get

1384
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: too worried about whether he circumvented the protocols. All right, Yeah,

1385
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 1: my thought on it. I feel the same way, Steve.

1386
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 1: And you know when I saw it happened. Yeah, when

1387
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:38,760
Speaker 1: you hit the back of your head like that, it

1388
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: could be pretty scary and a lot of concussions happened

1389
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: that way. Now, when he got up, it was in

1390
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: a situation where I said, man, he's got to stay down.

1391
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: Now you stumble a few times, that's where it becomes scary.

1392
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: And as much as I'm with you there, Steve, those

1393
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 1: rules are put in place because at times we need

1394
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: to protect ourselves or they need to protect us for us.

1395
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 1: If that acts his backs hurt too, Eric, Why didn't

1396
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: he grab his back? Yeah, that's the thing. He doesn't

1397
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: grab his back. He didn't come into the game with

1398
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: a back injury on the injury report, So now are

1399
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: they skirting the injury report as well? I mean I'm

1400
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 1: not trying to be petty here. My wife can tell

1401
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: you I might be the most petty person in the

1402
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: world though. All right, Eric, thanks for the time. We

1403
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:19,679
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We will catch up with you next week

1404
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: and hopefully we got a much better story to tell

1405
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: after Baltimore. Thanks very much, absolutely my pleasure. Guys. All right,

1406
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: that's Eric Wood radio color analyst for the Bills here.

1407
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:29,680
Speaker 1: We will take a break when we come back. More

1408
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 1: analysis from NFL Networks Michael Robinson here on One Bills Live,

1409
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: presented by Kalata Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1410
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: welcome back to one Bills Live here on a Buffalo

1411
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Football Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and please

1412
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: to be joined now by NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson,

1413
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: making his weekly appearance here as he does after each

1414
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: and every Bills game. Took one on the chin yesterday, Mike,

1415
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: this one looked like it was one and lost in

1416
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: the red zone. Bill's left some points on the board

1417
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: as well, block kicks, some other situations as well. Pick

1418
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: six dropped, dropped past in the end zone. It's almost

1419
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: like and maybe you can speak to this, Mike as

1420
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: a former player. When the heat is so oppressive and

1421
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: it's completely exhausted you physically, how hard it is to

1422
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 1: focus mentally in those situations. Absolutely, we always talk about it.

1423
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: In the National Football League South Beach in September. Maybe

1424
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins aren't undefeated, but the weather in South Beach

1425
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: is undefeated, meaning that it gets hot, it's humid, it's

1426
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: a it's not a comfortable environment for players to be in.

1427
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: But I, guys, I can't lie. Came away from this game.

1428
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm almost hoarse from yelling at the television,

1429
01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:00,759
Speaker 1: yelling at everything. You know, I felt like Ken Dorsey,

1430
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 1: Like I really I felt like I was doing that

1431
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: just like he did, you know. But clearly the Bills

1432
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: were the better team, clearly. Now, I get the only

1433
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 1: stat that matters is the scoreboard. But to your guys point,

1434
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:20,560
Speaker 1: the struggles in the red zone, the missed opportunities, the

1435
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 1: depleted roster, I mean five starters out, I mean any

1436
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 1: other team would have lost by three touchdowns. To me,

1437
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: clearly that this show just how deep this team is.

1438
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: And one other thing I don't want our listeners and

1439
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: our viewers to miss. When your center is sweating like that,

1440
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: the amount of sweat that goes on the football when

1441
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: you're under center. Literally it controls the grip. It is

1442
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: a problem. Like I remember when I played quarterback, that

1443
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: was a thing for me. I used to always be like, bro,

1444
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: we have to have a towel or something, because I

1445
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 1: felt like my centers were the biggest sweaters in the world.

1446
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: And I felt like, I know, it was funny on Twitter,

1447
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 1: I kept on tweeting it, But the butt sweat got

1448
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: to us yesterday. Yes, give us a little insight as two.

1449
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 1: As you know, TWOA comes into this game. He he

1450
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: gets the win, and everybody's kind of high on him,

1451
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:20,719
Speaker 1: but he throws for a buck eighty seven. Um, didn't

1452
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,600
Speaker 1: turn the football over. Came back from a from a

1453
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: back injury, right, so back, Yeah, that's right. Finger quotes

1454
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: on the back injury. Talk a little bit about two

1455
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: and him going forward now that they seem to like him,

1456
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 1: they seem to be all in with him and um

1457
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 1: and listen, let's face he got the win with just

1458
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 1: thirty nine offensive snaps. Yeah, he got the win, and

1459
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: that's the Again, that's the only stat that matters. But

1460
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: it clearly this team has to play a certain way Honestly,

1461
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: I thought the Miami Dolphins would run the football a

1462
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: little bit more than I'm seeing them run the football.

1463
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: I think maybe coach McDaniels wanted to kind of put

1464
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: that narrative out there and then wanted to come out

1465
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: throwing one thing about tour. It seems like he's very

1466
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 1: very accurate now um playing quarterback, to me, accuracy is

1467
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: the number one trait. So he does have that trait.

1468
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,600
Speaker 1: But when you have guys that are so fast, like

1469
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: a Tyrek Hill and in a waddle, uh, you want

1470
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: to stretch the field. You want to be able to

1471
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 1: have the big arm like a Josh Allen that that

1472
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:23,639
Speaker 1: can hit any place on the field. You really want

1473
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 1: to be able to stretch the field. I do think

1474
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: this offense will be limited in that regard, But I

1475
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: do think the fact that he's so accurate Um his

1476
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: ball handling on the RPOs, I mean it's elite. I mean,

1477
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,719
Speaker 1: I know people don't look at that as a something

1478
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: that quarterbacks have to do or whatever, but the ball

1479
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: handling on RPOs and being able to really get the

1480
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 1: laces and and and and fake the fake the running

1481
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: back with all the sweat playing in Miami all of

1482
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: those things and still deliver a pass. Some of it

1483
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 1: just some of the pass. Some of the ball placements

1484
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: that Tour put the ball in was literally, um it

1485
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 1: was the difference in the success of the play. And

1486
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 1: so I do think that you know, um, his accuracy

1487
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: will have to give them some success. But again, without

1488
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,799
Speaker 1: having that big arm to me to stretch the field,

1489
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be limited in some capacity.

1490
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,600
Speaker 1: The job number one now, Mike for the Bills is

1491
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: to get healthy, and hopefully sooner rather than later. While

1492
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: we probably expect guys like Dawson Knox and Spencer Brown

1493
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: and Greg Van Roten who succumbed to the heat to

1494
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 1: be all right come this next game, you still have

1495
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates who left the game with a head injury,

1496
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 1: Jake Kumero, you know, a depth receiver and a special

1497
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: teamer who went out with an ankle injury. And now

1498
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,719
Speaker 1: your colleague and Rappaport from NFL Network is reporting Christian

1499
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: Benford as a fractured hand, So that makes it difficult

1500
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: to play cornerback. He did come back into the game,

1501
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: but only played on special teams after suffering that injury.

1502
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: And then you're still dealing and waiting on Ed Oliver,

1503
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, Mitch Morris, and Jordan Poyer. I mean, those

1504
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: are all starters and you're playing a Ravens team that's

1505
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: coming off a win over the Patriots in their place.

1506
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 1: When you were on teams that had to deal with

1507
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 1: a rash of injuries. I know this team looks deep

1508
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: and played great this past week, but how do you

1509
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 1: handle that as a locker room? Well, oftentimes as a

1510
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:21,719
Speaker 1: locker room, it's the injury bug sometimes brings you, brings

1511
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: you together, and the championship teams, that's what happens. Guys

1512
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: in the locker room get together, they kind of look

1513
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:28,639
Speaker 1: around and say, Okay, it's the next man up. You're

1514
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: on this team for a reason. That's why we went

1515
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: through training camp. That's why we went through OTAs and

1516
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: mini camp and all the all the different different ways

1517
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: that we prepare for a season, and we go out

1518
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 1: there and we handle business. I mean that's really the

1519
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 1: only way that you can look at it. Oftentimes, offensively

1520
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: and defensively and special teams wise, you get a little

1521
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: simpler because you're gonna start playing real ball with parts

1522
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: of the roster that it didn't accustomed to getting as

1523
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 1: much playing time on offensive defense because of the injuries,

1524
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 1: and so usually things get you know, get a little

1525
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:05,600
Speaker 1: simpler from a from a schematic standpoint. But earlier I

1526
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 1: mentioned coach Dorsey and how he kind of snapped and

1527
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: got upset, and I think a big reason why he

1528
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 1: got upset is because he knew that, you know, we're

1529
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: supposed to win the game. But when number two, I

1530
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: think just looking at the plays and looking at just

1531
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: how the game went to have over ninety plays to

1532
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: there I don't know, thirty something plays to just to

1533
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: totally dominate that way, I think the next level to

1534
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 1: this offense is being able to slow it down when

1535
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 1: you want to. Now you had you saw Zach Boss

1536
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: he had that big long run and things like that,

1537
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 1: but the running backs only had fourteen fifteen sixteen carries

1538
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 1: something like that. You know what I mean, In the

1539
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: game never really can't got out of hand. And I

1540
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: know that you know we got we have the quarterback

1541
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: to do it and put the ball everywhere, but sometimes

1542
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,639
Speaker 1: you have to slow it down. And I think coming

1543
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: up this week, especially with a guy like Lamar Jackson

1544
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: who can score from anywhere on the field, you have

1545
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: injuries on defense, especially to your perimeter players who Lamar's

1546
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: a slippery guy. You you know, you can't have a

1547
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 1: broken hand and having to try to go tackle Lamar Jackson.

1548
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: That's gonna be tough. So I think just having a

1549
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 1: more simpler game plan and having that ability to slow

1550
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: things down and be advantageous to us this one. Yeah,

1551
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 1: you're right. The running backs for the Bills had fifteen

1552
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 1: carries combined between Zach Moss Devin Singletary. They also had

1553
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: sixteen receptions and also McKenzie. Now they did that. Yeah,

1554
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: they did take over for and we This game was

1555
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: full of compromise and adjustments by the Bills personnel wise,

1556
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: and their offense began to look like that the receivers

1557
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,719
Speaker 1: were falling out because they were going through twenty play drives,

1558
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 1: running down the field, coming back to the ball, running

1559
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: down the field, coming back to the ball. They were

1560
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: getting nvs during the game, so the running backs kind

1561
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 1: of stepped into that void. They started throwing it to

1562
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: those guys instead. I thought, you're right. Ken Dorsey was

1563
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: pounding that. He absolutely snapped up in the booth. After

1564
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: this game, they had adjusted so much, not to the

1565
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: least of which the adjustments were play calls that he

1566
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,720
Speaker 1: had to have, knowing the center, the right guard, and

1567
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: the right tackle. We're all backups and playing out a

1568
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 1: position two of them. So it was. It was one

1569
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: of those games where you're trying to keep fifteen balls

1570
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: in the air, and they adjusted on the flies. They did,

1571
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 1: and they came up two points short. Going forward, looking

1572
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: back on this game, it may help the Bills down

1573
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: the road. I think the experience will definitely help them.

1574
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: But again, to go back, because it went viral, That's

1575
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: why I keep bringing up Coach Dorsey and I was

1576
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,680
Speaker 1: frustrated the same way. That's why I keep bringing it up.

1577
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 1: But to know that you had all this adversity, to

1578
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: know you fought back and then still you had a chance.

1579
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 1: These are some of the games that in December and

1580
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: January you look back and say, damn, man, if we

1581
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:48,080
Speaker 1: just would have won that game, maybe home field, what

1582
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: would come through? How Mark? You know one of those things,

1583
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,599
Speaker 1: and I think, I think, again, when the staff looks

1584
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: back at it, they're gonna realize, we just gotta let

1585
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: a game get away from us. Yeah, And that happened

1586
01:21:57,920 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: to the Bills in Week five last year. When they

1587
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. If that game flipped last year, they were

1588
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. So I hope

1589
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 1: that's not the case here this early in the season.

1590
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: You touched on the run game, Mike, so let's go there,

1591
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: because short yardage has been an issue for them, red

1592
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: zone running the football has been an issue for them. Now,

1593
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: Yesterday was probably an extenuating circumstance in light of the

1594
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: backups you had on the offensive line creating lanes with

1595
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:34,599
Speaker 1: some consistency. I was arguing yesterday, if Dalvin Cook, if

1596
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: James Cook is in the game on the Zach Moss run,

1597
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown. Nobody's catching that kid, it's a touchdown

1598
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:46,480
Speaker 1: down the sideline. He got some run yesterday, four receptions

1599
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: for thirty seven yards really didn't factor in the run game.

1600
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: I would submit that if you want to change the

1601
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: dynamics of your run game, he should be on the

1602
01:22:56,360 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: field a little bit more because the speed dynamic is

1603
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:05,600
Speaker 1: something that this running back contingent has lacked since McDermott

1604
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: walked in the door. Just your thoughts on that and

1605
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: how it could change how defenses play the run game

1606
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 1: of the Bills well, I mean speed and physical dominance.

1607
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: But speed is one of those things that you can't coach,

1608
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that if you have

1609
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: it on offensive and especially at the running back position,

1610
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 1: that is what really leaves defensive coordinators up at night

1611
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: because that's something that you can't coach. Your guy can

1612
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,640
Speaker 1: be in position and he just runs around you. So

1613
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:35,719
Speaker 1: I do agree with that. But to your point about

1614
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: whether if James Cook was in the game, he'd be

1615
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: out and all that, I see, I'm not at practice.

1616
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm not privy to what's going on at practice, so

1617
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's earned the right to have

1618
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: more carries because I could argue that maybe Zack Moss's eyes,

1619
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 1: which led him to bounce the ball, was a big

1620
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 1: part of him getting that opening, and maybe maybe Cook

1621
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten there yet, and maybe it doesn't have the

1622
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: understanding of the offense that his eyes would have took

1623
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: him there. So again I'm not privy to that. But

1624
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 1: to your point, like guys, I just think this was

1625
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: the perfect storm hunting here with the Miami Dolphins, you know,

1626
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 1: for lack of better words, but I think it was

1627
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: the perfect storm with the injuries with the this point

1628
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: in the season, how hot it was. It was just

1629
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: a perfect storm. And again we still only lost by two.

1630
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 1: What did we learn about Buffalo and respectively Miami in

1631
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 1: this game? Uh? Well, I know for me personally, I

1632
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: learned that the Bills are the best team, not just

1633
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: in the AFC, but in all of football. I just

1634
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,799
Speaker 1: look at this week and what's going on in the NFC.

1635
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: To me, the Philadelphia Eagles look to be the best team.

1636
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: Maybe the Rams or number two. Maybe some of the

1637
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 1: teams that you thought would be the front runners just

1638
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 1: aren't there. And then in the AFC, you thought Kansas City,

1639
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 1: you know, would be a little bit better, would look

1640
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: a little bit better. Um Denver there they set up,

1641
01:24:58,200 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, up top of the division in the A.

1642
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 1: See what's yet if you just watch them on tape,

1643
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: they do not look like a good football team, and

1644
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 1: it just seems like their head coach doesn't seem to

1645
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 1: make great decisions in game. So again, I've learned this

1646
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: week that with all the injuries, with the fact that

1647
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: you statistically dominated the hell out of the Miami Dolphins,

1648
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: who happened to be three and oh I think the

1649
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins won two games over teams that were better

1650
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: than them, with the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills.

1651
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: To me, it just proved that the Buffalo Bills are

1652
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: the best team you know in the National Football League.

1653
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,679
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, to me, it just showed that they were scrappy.

1654
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 1: And I tweeted about this, They're gonna always be in

1655
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 1: games because of the speed that they have. They're gonna

1656
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 1: always be in games, because of the accuracy of the quarterback.

1657
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna always be in games because of the aggressiveness

1658
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: of the defense. I also tweeted about the zero blitz

1659
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: that Josh Shallen just kept on beating day, I mean,

1660
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: playing and play out. The thing about that is, guys,

1661
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: broken clocks are right twice a day. At some point

1662
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 1: to zero blitz will come back to bite you, and

1663
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: it bit the Buffalo Bills in certain points by that

1664
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: game yesterday. So, yeah, the Miami Duffin's gonna be scrappy.

1665
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a hard out for anybody. No, they're

1666
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 1: not going to go undefeated, Miami Duffin fans, if you're

1667
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 1: out there listening, But at the end of the day, yeah,

1668
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:16,639
Speaker 1: that's what I learned about both of these teams. Let's

1669
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 1: take a quick look at the Ravens here, Mike, you know,

1670
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo's next opponent. And while they are another scrappy bunch

1671
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 1: that knows how to be resourceful when they're down players,

1672
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they still don't have Ronnie Stanley back. He

1673
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: hasn't played a single game this year. They're left tackle,

1674
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 1: and the guy that they had plugged in for him

1675
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: to play in that role until he came back is

1676
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: out for the year. And Juwan James, who tore his

1677
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 1: achilles in Week one. They get JK. Dobbins back this

1678
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 1: past week, so he's back in the lineup. It looks

1679
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 1: like they're getting a little bit healthier, but that defense uncharacteristically,

1680
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 1: is giving up a ton of yards and a ton

1681
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 1: of points the last two week four hundred and forty

1682
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: seven total net yards to the Patriots, who aren't really

1683
01:26:56,720 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 1: a juggernaut offense in any way, shape or form. Just

1684
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: your initial thoughts on what the Bills can expect from

1685
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 1: this Ravens team, Well, obviously you can expect the same

1686
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 1: old Ravens team. They're gonna be aggressive, they're gonna take

1687
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 1: their chances, but there's gonna be some opportunity for some

1688
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:15,759
Speaker 1: big plays. Um, you just can't guess. You gotta trust

1689
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: your eyes. Everybody has to communicate. And I'm talking offensively

1690
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 1: and defensively. The Ravens. Defensively, yes, they've given up some

1691
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,720
Speaker 1: big plays over the top, but that's because they got

1692
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: a guy like Marcus Peters returning from his ACL injury.

1693
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: But he's a playmaker at the defensive position, meaning he

1694
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: gets beat a lot. Let's just be honest. He does,

1695
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:39,680
Speaker 1: but he gets beat because he's always trying to go

1696
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 1: after the football, always trying to go after the football.

1697
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: So you're gonna be able to make some plays on him.

1698
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, in critical situations he's boom or bust,

1699
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of times he does be able to

1700
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:53,520
Speaker 1: take the football away from opposing offenses. And then offensively,

1701
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 1: they can negate your pass rush, they can negate some

1702
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: of the advantages that I feel like the build have

1703
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 1: in the front seven. By the quarterback again, Lamar Jackson

1704
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: is one of the top running backs in the National

1705
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: Football League. And yes, I'm talking about a quarterback. He's

1706
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: one of the top runners in the league. He forces

1707
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 1: that eleven on eleven football and so he's super explosive.

1708
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:18,560
Speaker 1: So what happens is a guy like von Miller, a

1709
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: guy that wants to know rush the past or a

1710
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: guy like Gregory Rousseau with what they will do is

1711
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 1: not block him and read this guy and force his

1712
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 1: aggressiveness to kind of, you know, work against them. And

1713
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: so that forces some hesitation on the past rushers and

1714
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: things like that, which gives some time for some things

1715
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: to open up downfield. So I think it's gonna be

1716
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: an interesting chess match between every you know, all parties involved.

1717
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:43,680
Speaker 1: But obviously I'm rolling with the Bills because again, I

1718
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen is just one of those guys and

1719
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 1: I just think he wanted allowed his team to lose

1720
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 1: two in a row. All right, Mike, thanks very much.

1721
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining us here on a tight schedule.

1734

Speaker 1: weigh in your biggest takeaways from the Bill's two point

1735
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 1: laws at the hands of the Miami Dolphins twenty one

1736
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 1: to nineteen. Yesterday, we go to the phones that waiting

1737
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 1: patiently as Tom and Lackawana. Tom, what do you got

1738
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: for us? You're on One Bills Live. Hey, guys. A

1739
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 1: couple of comments in the question commented the one guy

1740
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 1: that called early in the show about the heat and

1741
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 1: the stadium or whatever, and he said, it wasn't that

1742
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 1: way in the nineties. They revamped the stadium. There wasn't

1743
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: a shady side in the stadium in the nineties. I

1744
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:14,680
Speaker 1: was there in the nineties. So that's the comment on

1745
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:20,680
Speaker 1: that one. And then I just wonder the question you

1746
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 1: can answer afterwards is are there any other serious injuries

1747
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 1: that came across the yesterday's game. And then my main

1748
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 1: comment question was on the what looked like a touchdown

1749
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:37,240
Speaker 1: to me. To Davis, was that one of those I thought,

1750
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 1: if it's a scoring play, they're supposed to review it

1751
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 1: was that one of those secret quick reviews. And then

1752
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 1: they just said go on. It was a drove past

1753
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: because to me, he had both feet down, had the

1754
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: ball for a second before the guy knocked it out.

1755
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: If you're over the goal line and you're in bounds

1756
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: and you had the ball, to me, it should at

1757
01:30:56,280 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: least have been reviewed. Yeah, they reviewed automatically and the

1758
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 1: sky judge goes over everything. He just didn't you're he

1759
01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: just didn't get a chance to make did not complete

1760
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:11,760
Speaker 1: the cat ball move. That's what's it. That's what the

1761
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: ref's gonna say. Did not complete the catch. You know

1762
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:17,160
Speaker 1: what the rule is, you come down with the ball.

1763
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:20,160
Speaker 1: If you do not complete the play, which did not

1764
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 1: happen there, it's gonna be ruled incomplete. They're ruling it

1765
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,519
Speaker 1: incomplete immediately on the field. He had it knocked out,

1766
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:28,719
Speaker 1: he got two feet down, but he did not complete

1767
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:32,679
Speaker 1: the catch. And we can have a whole show about

1768
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:34,400
Speaker 1: what is a catch and what is not a catch

1769
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and it is ridiculous. Yeah, because it

1770
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 1: wasn't a scoring play. It's not reviewed automatically, but the

1771
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 1: sky judge looks at everything anyway. So but yeah, that's

1772
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 1: not automatically looked at where the sky judge is gonna

1773
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:49,759
Speaker 1: say I'm anna overturn it or not. So that's because

1774
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 1: it was not a scoring play. And then it was, well,

1775
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: it was a scoring play, they just didn't rule it

1776
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,880
Speaker 1: a score. So yeah, I don't know how that works. Right,

1777
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,519
Speaker 1: it's because they didn't call it a touchdown, they don't

1778
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 1: review it. That's right, that's what you're saying. And as

1779
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 1: far as series injuries, if you're just joining us NFL network,

1780
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 1: Sing and Rap report is reporting that Christian Benford has

1781
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:13,479
Speaker 1: a fractured hand, that would probably I mean, as we

1782
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 1: saw yesterday after he sustained that injury, he came back

1783
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 1: into the game, but he did not play another snap

1784
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 1: on defense because it's very hard to play defense as

1785
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 1: a cornerback with only one working hand and a club

1786
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:26,559
Speaker 1: on the other. He lined up for kickoff coverage because

1787
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:28,559
Speaker 1: you can probably get away with a bust at hand

1788
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:32,000
Speaker 1: and play there. Steve's probably done in an untold number

1789
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,920
Speaker 1: of times during his career he did. Yeah, I mean

1790
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 1: that's playing receiver or playing defense where you have to

1791
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 1: get your hands on people and you got to wrap

1792
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 1: up and tackle. That's not a recipe. And as we

1793
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 1: just heard Michael Robinson on the air with US say, hey,

1794
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 1: him playing defense with Lamar Jackson running around not a

1795
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,920
Speaker 1: good idea, especially when you're in charge of setting the

1796
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,080
Speaker 1: edge of the defense and run support as well, so

1797
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:55,800
Speaker 1: you can't grip as a corner. It'd be very tough

1798
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:57,760
Speaker 1: for him to play this week, I think. And then

1799
01:32:57,760 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about Ryan Bates with a head injury, Jay

1800
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:02,479
Speaker 1: Kumero with an ankle injury, and you're still waiting on

1801
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:05,719
Speaker 1: comebacks from Ed Oliver, Jordan Phillips who has a hamstring injury.

1802
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:08,479
Speaker 1: Be very surprised if he's ready this week. Mitch Morris

1803
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 1: with the elbow, Jordan Pory with the foot, and Dane

1804
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,880
Speaker 1: Jackson with the neck. So coach mcdermots supposed to address

1805
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:17,639
Speaker 1: the media at four this afternoon. Whether we get clarity

1806
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 1: on any of those remains to be seen. But hold

1807
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 1: your breath, people and cross your fingers that some of

1808
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 1: these guys are ready to come back and play this week.

1809
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:26,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dave in Toronto. Next, what do you

1810
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 1: got for his? Dave? You're on one bills live. Hey,

1811
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:33,800
Speaker 1: good afternoon to you guys. Good afternoon. Okay, So here's

1812
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: what I got. There was a caller earlier that was

1813
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 1: talking about how the Dolphins should have their games at

1814
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:43,559
Speaker 1: least be at four o'clock or you know, four or five,

1815
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 1: four twenty five, or even make them the Sunday nighters.

1816
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:49,760
Speaker 1: And I would say that would work for when the

1817
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins are hosting somebody other than their own division. But

1818
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:58,320
Speaker 1: here's what I've got, And I don't know if the

1819
01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 1: NFL would consider doing this or not. What if you

1820
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:05,639
Speaker 1: had the Dolphins going north to play the other AFC

1821
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 1: East teams in months like September and October, and then

1822
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 1: in months like December and January, then those AFCT team

1823
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 1: AFC East teams go down to Miami and play them. Then, well,

1824
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,599
Speaker 1: that has happened at times, Dave. It's happened at times

1825
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:26,799
Speaker 1: where that's been the schedule. It's just at other times

1826
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: it flips. And this year is one of those years

1827
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 1: where it's flipped. Yeah, and it's something, But I wonder

1828
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,360
Speaker 1: if if it's something in the NFL should just try

1829
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 1: to make that permanent and stuff, so then you don't

1830
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 1: have to deal with all this heat exhaustion, because I

1831
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,879
Speaker 1: know what that's like. I haven't been down in Miami,

1832
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 1: but those of us who have to deal with the

1833
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 1: extreme heat even here, and we're Buffalo Toronto, not that

1834
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: far from each other, know what that's like. That's right,

1835
01:34:54,760 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 1: that's all I got. Okay, thanks, go ahead. So yeah, yeah,

1836
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:04,639
Speaker 1: but you also by the same token, you gotta it's

1837
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: two sides of the same coin. That means you never

1838
01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 1: get the dolphins in cold weather, right, they never have

1839
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:14,679
Speaker 1: to go against any of that stuff. Home Field advantage

1840
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:16,400
Speaker 1: is always going to be there in some way, shape

1841
01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:21,400
Speaker 1: or form. In this case, it is a little bit more.

1842
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,720
Speaker 1: It seems unfair because one side of the field has

1843
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 1: shade and it's cooler than the other side, and all

1844
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 1: the ramifications that are there in it. It becomes a

1845
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: real advantage of physical advantage. And I'm not talking about

1846
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 1: noise and emotion and all the atmosphere. You're talking about

1847
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 1: having a sideline that's different. And that's and that's where

1848
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: people sometimes have a problem with this the way it's

1849
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 1: this set up. Now, Yeah, we have to take a

1850
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 1: break here, but more of your phone calls coming up

1851
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: an hour number three along with our trip around the

1852
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:56,360
Speaker 1: locker room. It's all coming your way next year. Our

1853
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by Kellid to Health. It's Buffalo

1854
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. This is One Bill's Live presented by Called

1855
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 1: Light of Health. All Right, welcome back to our number

1856
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 1: three here on a Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown, Steve

1857
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 1: Tasker with you, and it's time for us to go

1858
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 1: around the locker room presented by connect Life, your blood

1859
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 1: and organ donor network. And we begin with who else

1860
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the man who threw for four hundred yards

1861
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:09,640
Speaker 1: and a pair of touchdowns but was beside himself that

1862
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:12,559
Speaker 1: they had come up just a little bit short. Here

1863
01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:15,639
Speaker 1: is Josh on the miscues on offense in the loss.

1864
01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta finish drives. I think third down

1865
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:22,040
Speaker 1: we were all right, red zone weren't weren't very good. Um,

1866
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:23,559
Speaker 1: we got to find a way to get it in

1867
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 1: the end zone there, and you know, we really bad

1868
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 1: ourselves tonight. You know, credit to them, they had a

1869
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 1: really good game plan. They came out and they did

1870
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,120
Speaker 1: what they had to do. Um. But there's there's obviously

1871
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 1: plays that we went back, and that's going to happen

1872
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 1: over the course of every single game, um this one especially.

1873
01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 1: Look when I left the locker, so to get out

1874
01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:44,680
Speaker 1: of the building and get on the team buses to

1875
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 1: go to the airport after the game, we have to

1876
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:48,559
Speaker 1: go through the locker room and out the back door

1877
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 1: to exit the stadium. And this is after everything's done.

1878
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 1: Media interviews are done, players are showered, they're getting on

1879
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:03,240
Speaker 1: the bus. Coaches are packed up, our media and content

1880
01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:07,519
Speaker 1: team were packing up cameras and stuff. So I'm coming

1881
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 1: out of the lock I'm going through the locker room

1882
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:10,479
Speaker 1: to go out the back door to get on the bus,

1883
01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 1: get ready to go to the airport and start writing

1884
01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:16,160
Speaker 1: up my stuff. Josh is sitting there at his locker.

1885
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 1: He's not even out of his uniform. He's sitting there

1886
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 1: just staring blankly out into space. And there was a

1887
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 1: one of the assistant coaches I think, was sitting next

1888
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 1: to him, and they weren't saying anything. They were just

1889
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 1: kind of sitting there. Josh, when they don't win a

1890
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 1: game that he believes they should win, he seethes. It

1891
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 1: burns in his stomach like an ulcer, and he literally

1892
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 1: cannot stomach it. He was too tired to feel that

1893
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,439
Speaker 1: way at the very end of the game coming off

1894
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:05,760
Speaker 1: the field, but a half hour removed from it, he

1895
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 1: could not. Yeah, accept it. Yeah, we're talking to Ken

1896
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,840
Speaker 1: Dorsey's now a meme for snapping up in the booth

1897
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 1: where he threw this slam the tablet down, and people

1898
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:20,719
Speaker 1: are I don't know, some people are like, you know, thinking,

1899
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 1: what's he doing? Why is he you know, they're mad

1900
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 1: at him, or there's some sort of outrage. I'm like, uh,

1901
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:30,400
Speaker 1: it's laughable to me for that. I mean, it's it's televising.

1902
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:33,680
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be mad at anybody, be mad at

1903
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 1: the TV crew for going to that camera and recording

1904
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: that camera when they did, you're not gonna stop guys

1905
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:47,080
Speaker 1: from reacting like that. That is, that's not even in

1906
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: the conversation for the things that happened after guys lose

1907
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 1: football games like the one they did yesterday. I mean,

1908
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 1: that's it's laughable that anybody's upset about it about Ken

1909
01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 1: Dorsey being upset. Yeah, on the way he reacted. Um, yeah,

1910
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 1: you just need to I don't know what the problem is,

1911
01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:08,439
Speaker 1: but that's that's how much these guys care about this.

1912
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:11,360
Speaker 1: It is to them, it is. And we've had service

1913
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:13,240
Speaker 1: guys call in today about being in the in the

1914
01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 1: desert and the heat and the humidity and how it

1915
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: affected them over there and whether they were plus or

1916
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 1: miners or ford or against it the way the Bills

1917
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:22,800
Speaker 1: handled it in this game. As beside the point um,

1918
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, the players and the coaches attach as much

1919
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:30,200
Speaker 1: importance to these games as you can possibly attach to them.

1920
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not even it's not short of life

1921
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 1: and death. They really pour one hundred percent of their heart,

1922
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 1: mind and soul into these games and their emotion and

1923
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 1: their time and their physical investment and their physical risk.

1924
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:48,680
Speaker 1: It is. It is as invested as you can possibly

1925
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:52,679
Speaker 1: be in a job. It's it's not where you sit

1926
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 1: at your desk and look at it like you and

1927
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:57,120
Speaker 1: me sit here and look at computers and watch and

1928
01:40:57,200 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 1: look at the TV screen or look at the TV cameras.

1929
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: They are physically invested into it. And to get to

1930
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 1: that point, you've got to attach a huge amount of

1931
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 1: importance to these games. And to see a guy being

1932
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:14,439
Speaker 1: disappointed as he was, like Ken Dorsey, I don't know

1933
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:21,760
Speaker 1: how anybody can be surprised. Yeah, not to mention the

1934
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 1: fact that when you add in the mountain of adversity

1935
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 1: that the team faced in terms of player availability, and

1936
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: to develop a game plan that came within a couple

1937
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 1: of plays of actually working to pull it all off,

1938
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:41,840
Speaker 1: and then it doesn't. It folds at the end and

1939
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 1: you come up short. Supremely frustrating. This is a cutthroat

1940
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 1: competition league that I don't know if it's rivaled anywhere

1941
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:59,960
Speaker 1: else in professional sports. You got people spending eighteen hours

1942
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 1: is a day trying to come up with more answers

1943
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: than their opponent in a given week, and to feel

1944
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:11,640
Speaker 1: that you had all the answers there ready to be implemented,

1945
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: despite the fact that you had half a roster and

1946
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:19,120
Speaker 1: a gas football team. And it doesn't come out on

1947
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: the right end, you're gonna be a little hot at

1948
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:25,799
Speaker 1: the end of the game, right, wrong or indifferent? Yeah,

1949
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:27,599
Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't make them. Let I mean

1950
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:32,360
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous too. I mean this is yeah, this is

1951
01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:35,160
Speaker 1: not even that's just the way it is. Yeah, that's

1952
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:37,600
Speaker 1: the world in which football exists. Let's move to the

1953
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 1: next step of the locker room. Bills linebacker Von Miller

1954
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:43,720
Speaker 1: on why the loss to the Dolphins will fuel the

1955
01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 1: team going forward. Lost like this is is a good

1956
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 1: medicine in twenty twelve. You know, I think we started

1957
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 1: the season, you know, one and three, and then we

1958
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 1: went on the nine game winning streak. You know, we've

1959
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:59,080
Speaker 1: paid meny it. So you know, we started out two

1960
01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 1: week you know, we didn't we haven't even met any

1961
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:03,720
Speaker 1: adversity like this, you know, So you know, I just

1962
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:05,759
Speaker 1: choose to live on the on the bright side of things.

1963
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:08,679
Speaker 1: And they played a great game, and it really came

1964
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:10,240
Speaker 1: down to the end of the game. It's really like

1965
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:13,439
Speaker 1: one and two plays and you know, none of my

1966
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 1: guys blinked, whether it was you know, the second, whether

1967
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:20,560
Speaker 1: it was our secondary or linebackers. Everybody stepped up to

1968
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 1: the play each and every time. And you know, I'm

1969
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,439
Speaker 1: proud of those guys. And even even though we lost,

1970
01:43:25,479 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 1: even though we lost, and the score is what it is, like,

1971
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm proud of our guys, I'm proud of our coaching staff,

1972
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:32,519
Speaker 1: and I lost, like this is good medicine. You know,

1973
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:35,920
Speaker 1: we get back in the lab, we'll watch this film. Um,

1974
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: we will we all figure out, you know, things that

1975
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:41,920
Speaker 1: we did good and things that we did bad and

1976
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:45,000
Speaker 1: we'll be uh, we'll be ready for us more. What

1977
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 1: do you think about Vaughan's take that it's good medicine, Well,

1978
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 1: every lass should be like that, but this is one

1979
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 1: where here's one really good thing I noticed about this game,

1980
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:58,800
Speaker 1: as compared to if they'd have been healthy and lost

1981
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 1: by two points, is the fact that the entire roster

1982
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:05,640
Speaker 1: was was utilized. Everybody got in and really had a

1983
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 1: chance to contribute big and everyone was scrapping. Everybody was

1984
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 1: fighting really hard to contribute to a win in that game,

1985
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:14,840
Speaker 1: trying to make a play, trying to be the one

1986
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 1: that came in and with fresh lace giving a guy

1987
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:21,360
Speaker 1: a break on a series, everybody was fully invested, and

1988
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:24,080
Speaker 1: you had guys fallen by the wayside. Spencer Brown was

1989
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:27,680
Speaker 1: the first one. Dawson Knox was another one, Kumaro was

1990
01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:32,439
Speaker 1: another one. Van Roten was another one. Benford was another one.

1991
01:44:32,760 --> 01:44:34,920
Speaker 1: You just had these guys going down and the rest

1992
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:38,320
Speaker 1: and the rest of the entire roster is like going,

1993
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:40,160
Speaker 1: we can still do it, we can still let's go.

1994
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 1: That's one of those when you look in the locker

1995
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: right around the locker room, everybody had a heroic effort

1996
01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:49,519
Speaker 1: and to come up two points short and all that

1997
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 1: it really does. It's, you know, it's an enormously costly

1998
01:44:54,920 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: team building exercise where everybody was needed, everybody contributed, everybody

1999
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 1: was fully invested, everybody left everything out there, and you

2000
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 1: came up short. You failed as as a group, and

2001
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 1: then you sit around and look at the guys and

2002
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 1: you think, you know what we had, we should have

2003
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 1: been better, and it's it's really one of those where

2004
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 1: you commiserate with each other about the efforts you put

2005
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:26,479
Speaker 1: in the and the result that you got and say,

2006
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:27,760
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna do better and we're not

2007
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna let this happen again. Let's go And it's I

2008
01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 1: think it's really really good for a team like that.

2009
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:33,800
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're looking for something good out

2010
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,519
Speaker 1: of a loss like this, and I've called it, I've

2011
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 1: dubbed it the dominating loss, which is what it was,

2012
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 1: and you just statistically, you just got to move on.

2013
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, think about this. The Bills had two practice

2014
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 1: squad elevations for the game, greg Man's and JaMarcus Ingram,

2015
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: A undrafted rookie. Greg Man's played twenty five percent of

2016
01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:58,600
Speaker 1: the offensive snaps. JaMarcus Ingram played fifty six percent of

2017
01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: the defensive snaps, like all from the practice squad on Saturday,

2018
01:46:03,400 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 1: and they played a significant amount of the game. I mean,

2019
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 1: that's how deep they had to go into their reserves yesterday.

2020
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,599
Speaker 1: That'll do it for around the locker room. Presented by

2021
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:20,760
Speaker 1: connect Life, your blood and organ donor network. We want

2022
01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:22,400
Speaker 1: to get back to the phones at eight oh three,

2023
01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: five fifty one fifty two, five fifty give us your

2024
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,040
Speaker 1: takeaways from yesterday's loss to the Dolphins. We go to

2025
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: Dan in Eerie, Pa. Next, what do you got for us? Dan? Hey, guys,

2026
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:36,680
Speaker 1: how are we doing good? I just wanted to make

2027
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: a point. As long as the injury list is now,

2028
01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: it can get worse if Josh gets hurt, and your

2029
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks should never be your leading rusher on the team,

2030
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:51,679
Speaker 1: and he has been for the last two years. It's

2031
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: just a matter of time until he gets hurt for

2032
01:46:54,080 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: a long time and we're going to be even in

2033
01:46:56,640 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 1: worse situations. Especially Yeah, down by the goal line in

2034
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter there. Yeah, he's running the ball on

2035
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 1: a quarterback keeper and the Dolphins were waiting for that,

2036
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 1: they were looking for it. Yeah. I just think he

2037
01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:15,559
Speaker 1: just runs too much. Well, Dan, let me tell you

2038
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 1: something that we're in year five of Josh Allen. You're

2039
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 1: about five years late to the party on that. He's

2040
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 1: been doing that since he was a rookie. He's gonna

2041
01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:24,639
Speaker 1: continue to do it. And we all say the same

2042
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:26,920
Speaker 1: thing every time it happens when he takes a good shot.

2043
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 1: That the game last week against Tennessee, he took some

2044
01:47:31,800 --> 01:47:34,519
Speaker 1: mega shots and he did a lot in the first

2045
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,080
Speaker 1: game too. It is who he is. He's gonna play

2046
01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 1: the way he plays. You're right, sooner or later they're

2047
01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 1: gonna get him, maybe, but let's face it, you know

2048
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:49,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. You're not gonna change the way he plays.

2049
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:51,719
Speaker 1: And if you want this guy to be your quarterback,

2050
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 1: you've gotta be willing to live with it. So yeah,

2051
01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 1: I know, I hear you. You're you're maybe only the

2052
01:47:56,439 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 1: five hundredth caller we've had to say the same thing,

2053
01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:02,920
Speaker 1: So I get it. But thanks, though, Dan, you can

2054
01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 1: call anytime. He's missed one game from running the football,

2055
01:48:09,160 --> 01:48:11,800
Speaker 1: and he was against New England. Actually he did not

2056
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:13,599
Speaker 1: miss the game. He missed the rest of the game

2057
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 1: in which he was playing, but did not miss the game.

2058
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:18,720
Speaker 1: The next week, he got a concussion, he went into

2059
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 1: the protocol. He was out of the protocol by Thursday

2060
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:24,639
Speaker 1: that week, and he played the next game. So knock

2061
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: on Wood if you need to. He's too big a

2062
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 1: weapon to not utilize. And I don't see it changing

2063
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:35,160
Speaker 1: going forward. Let's go back to the phones and we

2064
01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:38,880
Speaker 1: go to Tim and Buffalo. We got first him. My

2065
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:42,760
Speaker 1: big question, guys is about clock management. I mean, we

2066
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 1: lost that game because we ran out of time. If

2067
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 1: Isaiah mackenzie were just ran directly out of bounds, wouldn't

2068
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:50,920
Speaker 1: it have stopped the clock when we were at time

2069
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:53,639
Speaker 1: for the kick? That's right, And Isaiah didn't believe he's

2070
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna make it out of bounds, That's what I understand.

2071
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:58,240
Speaker 1: He got out there and one of the Dolphins defenders

2072
01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:00,280
Speaker 1: had an angle on him, and he didn't think he's

2073
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get out of bounds. And he

2074
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:03,920
Speaker 1: could have if he had ran backwards. But even if

2075
01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:07,439
Speaker 1: he would have ran backwards, his forward momentum would have

2076
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:09,680
Speaker 1: stopped up where he started to do that, and the

2077
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:12,040
Speaker 1: clock would have kept running anyway, even if he'd got

2078
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:14,400
Speaker 1: out of bounds, because they would have got him forward progress,

2079
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: so he didn't believe he could get out of bounds.

2080
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:18,720
Speaker 1: My question is, I still don't have an answer to

2081
01:49:18,760 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 1: this is when you're in that situation back in the day,

2082
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 1: and I think they might have changed the rule that

2083
01:49:24,840 --> 01:49:27,160
Speaker 1: if Isaiah McKenzie puts his foot in the ground out there,

2084
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 1: starts to go up the field and then deliberately laterals

2085
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:33,680
Speaker 1: the ball sideways out of bounds, that's an out of

2086
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:36,479
Speaker 1: bounds play, whether he's got it in his possession or not.

2087
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 1: But I don't know that that of result might result

2088
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:41,720
Speaker 1: in a ten second runoff. I'm not sure about that rule.

2089
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 1: I gotta check that out and ask. But that's but

2090
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:48,360
Speaker 1: you're right, huh, something will stop the clock. That's what

2091
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 1: we needed to do. Well, Yeah, and he knew that.

2092
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:52,400
Speaker 1: I think even so, it would have been just as

2093
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:55,040
Speaker 1: good if Isaiah McKinsey would have taken that pass from Josh,

2094
01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 1: stuck his shoulder down and just ran forward five yards,

2095
01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:00,880
Speaker 1: got on the ground quick, and then they would have

2096
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 1: the ball would have been right there on the hash.

2097
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 1: They could have spiked it and stopped the ball then.

2098
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 1: But he was so focused on getting out of bounds

2099
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 1: it took him so long to get over there. If

2100
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:11,640
Speaker 1: he had caught the ball, which he did in the

2101
01:50:11,640 --> 01:50:13,960
Speaker 1: middle of the field, just ran forward and gotten down,

2102
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:18,479
Speaker 1: maybe they could have spiked it after all, because a

2103
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:20,639
Speaker 1: couple of extra seconds that it took him to get

2104
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 1: outside is what did it to him. So we'll see,

2105
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's just the way it goes.

2106
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 1: You're right, though, they ran out of time, but the

2107
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:31,320
Speaker 1: clock management was there. They just ran out of time.

2108
01:50:31,439 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 1: They had to get the yards. Yeah, the problem was

2109
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 1: and well, at first I was standing there when Isaiah

2110
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 1: explained his thought process on the last play of the game.

2111
01:50:42,400 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 1: He said, I was trying to get out of bounds.

2112
01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 1: I was also trying to get yards. I knew Tyler

2113
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:50,800
Speaker 1: basses range, so I was trying to get out of

2114
01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:53,519
Speaker 1: bounds but also get up the field. There were nine

2115
01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:56,720
Speaker 1: seconds left at the end of that play, and I

2116
01:50:56,760 --> 01:50:59,639
Speaker 1: was trying to get to the hash and I got

2117
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 1: bumped going to the reff, And he said, bobbled the

2118
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:08,719
Speaker 1: ball and we couldn't get it spotted because he tried

2119
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 1: to toss it to the reff and the reff bobbled it,

2120
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,799
Speaker 1: and then he got bumped on his way to spot

2121
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 1: the ball. That took more time off the clock, and

2122
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 1: so you see him get bumped there. He tries to

2123
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:23,960
Speaker 1: throw it to the reff and basically nine seconds come

2124
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 1: off the clock and they can't clock it one more time. Now,

2125
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:30,400
Speaker 1: if mackenzie runs straight out of bounds after catching it,

2126
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:34,000
Speaker 1: he probably goes out of about the forty five yard

2127
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:39,559
Speaker 1: line of the Dolphins, and so now you're from So

2128
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:43,839
Speaker 1: that's the line of scrimmage plus seven on the snap,

2129
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:48,400
Speaker 1: So it's a sixty two yard field goal attempt. If

2130
01:51:48,439 --> 01:51:51,960
Speaker 1: he runs straight out of bounds, Bass could probably hit

2131
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 1: it from there, but on grass, that's a big ask.

2132
01:51:57,280 --> 01:51:59,040
Speaker 1: So if he runs straight out of bounds here at

2133
01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:02,640
Speaker 1: the forty five figure he could get to you know,

2134
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:04,880
Speaker 1: it's a sixty two yard or if he gets to

2135
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:10,679
Speaker 1: the forty one, you know, now it's a fifty eight yarder,

2136
01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 1: and that's your odds I think go up dramatically there.

2137
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:17,800
Speaker 1: So I understand why. And maybe McKenzie was told we

2138
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 1: got to get to the forty one. Maybe the players

2139
01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:23,479
Speaker 1: were told in the huddle, basses range is the forty

2140
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:25,840
Speaker 1: one yard line. That's the line of demarcation we gotta

2141
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:28,879
Speaker 1: get And maybe that's what McKenzie's thinking as he continues

2142
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:31,880
Speaker 1: to run with the football. Yeah, so it's you know,

2143
01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 1: they all had they had a handle on what they

2144
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:35,200
Speaker 1: were supposed to do. They just ran out of time

2145
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:37,160
Speaker 1: to do it in that play because he gave it

2146
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: to McKenzie right in the middle of the field. I mean,

2147
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 1: that's that's the extra time he needed. If but at

2148
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:45,240
Speaker 1: that time, you're trying to stop the clock, and I

2149
01:52:45,280 --> 01:52:47,360
Speaker 1: think it would have been better if McKenzie just grabs it,

2150
01:52:47,400 --> 01:52:50,880
Speaker 1: goes up field five yards, gives himself up because the

2151
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:53,200
Speaker 1: offensive line we're right there, and then everybody just gets back.

2152
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,320
Speaker 1: If you give yourself up, what's he gonna do? They're

2153
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna lay on him. Right Well, if he gives himself up,

2154
01:52:57,760 --> 01:52:59,479
Speaker 1: they can't get down on him. They'll blow the whistle

2155
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:01,439
Speaker 1: and that's it. If he good takes a knee. So

2156
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 1: it might have worked. It might have worked, but who knows.

2157
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:06,640
Speaker 1: We will never know. Yeah, let's go to Chris and

2158
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:08,439
Speaker 1: Brooklyn next. What you got for us? Chris, you're on

2159
01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:12,519
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. Hey, how worry guys? Good the tough one.

2160
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:16,840
Speaker 1: My two takeaways are I have an extreme amount of

2161
01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 1: pride in the Bills secondary despite the injuries those guys

2162
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:24,479
Speaker 1: played a hell of a game against what I think

2163
01:53:24,560 --> 01:53:27,920
Speaker 1: is probably the most talented receiver corps in the league.

2164
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:31,040
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill wasn't even a factor thirty three yards. Waddell

2165
01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,720
Speaker 1: had a better game, but no touchdowns. I think those

2166
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:37,360
Speaker 1: guys played excellent football. Just just just really great to

2167
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 1: see it. He even know these these guys have been

2168
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 1: plagued with injuries. I think on the other piece, though,

2169
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:47,040
Speaker 1: is I think, Chris, you mentioned this, games that are

2170
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:52,040
Speaker 1: this lopsided statistically in your favor, you gotta win, even

2171
01:53:52,160 --> 01:53:53,880
Speaker 1: even if you're playing with a bunch of guys from

2172
01:53:53,880 --> 01:53:57,200
Speaker 1: the practice squad. Josh Allen had two hundred plus more

2173
01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 1: yards than two We had the ball of full sixty

2174
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 1: six percent of the game. I think we ran something

2175
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:05,439
Speaker 1: like fifty more plays than the than the Dolphins did.

2176
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:08,479
Speaker 1: That sort of stuff that you got to put yourself

2177
01:54:08,479 --> 01:54:10,760
Speaker 1: in a position to win with those with those sort

2178
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:13,000
Speaker 1: of statistics shouldn't have even come down to that field.

2179
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 1: Lem And I also just wanted to get your thoughts

2180
01:54:15,479 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 1: on the series where Josh fumbled I think on our

2181
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:21,960
Speaker 1: eight yard line. I thought the play calling was a

2182
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:24,840
Speaker 1: little bit a little bit strange, you know. I thought

2183
01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:26,960
Speaker 1: they'd probably maybe maybe it's a little bit more passing

2184
01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:28,280
Speaker 1: in there, but I just want to get your thoughts

2185
01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:30,040
Speaker 1: on that as well. Appreciate you guys. Yeah, thanks for

2186
01:54:30,040 --> 01:54:33,160
Speaker 1: the call, Chris. It's kind of a shame that that

2187
01:54:33,360 --> 01:54:37,520
Speaker 1: drive resulted in a turnover deep in their own territory

2188
01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:39,960
Speaker 1: because the defense comes out on the first series for

2189
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:43,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and gets a stop. Right, So now here

2190
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:46,320
Speaker 1: is your opportunity to go up two scores on the

2191
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins early. And if you do that, maybe you change

2192
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:53,240
Speaker 1: the complexion of the game a little bit. And not

2193
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:57,680
Speaker 1: only that, you know your offense maybe can breathe for

2194
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 1: half a second, right, knowing the cumulative effect of the heat.

2195
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:06,600
Speaker 1: So they decide play one runs Zack Moss up the

2196
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:10,120
Speaker 1: middle one yard. Play two runs Zack Moss up the

2197
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,280
Speaker 1: middle one yard. Now it's third and eight from your

2198
01:55:12,280 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 1: own fourteen and the Dolphins are pinning their ears back

2199
01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:20,760
Speaker 1: and he gets sacked on a blitz by Javon Holland

2200
01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:24,560
Speaker 1: off the edge. Well there was actually Javan Holland comes

2201
01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 1: off the edge, but Devin Singletary is there to chip

2202
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:34,280
Speaker 1: for Dion Dawkins and he misses him. So you know,

2203
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:37,880
Speaker 1: Dion thought he had help on the outside, Devin takes

2204
01:55:37,880 --> 01:55:40,520
Speaker 1: a swipe at him. The guy swims around Devon too

2205
01:55:40,560 --> 01:55:42,760
Speaker 1: and comes deep. Josh might have taken a little bit

2206
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 1: of a deeper drop there as well, but that's what

2207
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 1: it led to. The guy came off the edge, he

2208
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 1: had two guys assigned to block him. Neither one of

2209
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:51,400
Speaker 1: them got enough of him to let Josh step up

2210
01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:54,120
Speaker 1: in the pocket and throw it. And Josh was, you know,

2211
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:56,560
Speaker 1: a tenth of a second from letting it go. So

2212
01:55:57,640 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 1: it was a lack of execution. It wasn't so much

2213
01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:02,200
Speaker 1: that they filed up this great blitz Devin Singletary and

2214
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:04,880
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins. The guy got around him on the outside

2215
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:08,800
Speaker 1: and got there. Yeah, and that's you can't let that happen.

2216
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:12,000
Speaker 1: I know there are some people that were bothered by

2217
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 1: the two run plays deep in their own territory. There

2218
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:19,720
Speaker 1: Zach Moss run, Zach Moss run third and eight throw.

2219
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 1: And I think this is this is where fans get

2220
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:28,120
Speaker 1: annoyed with the run game, because this is where you

2221
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:32,360
Speaker 1: need it to help you more in terms of breaking

2222
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:39,200
Speaker 1: tendencies offensively as a team and staying on schedule down

2223
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:42,840
Speaker 1: and distance wise. And there are times in games and

2224
01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:44,560
Speaker 1: it has it reared it's ugly head through the first

2225
01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:47,440
Speaker 1: two weeks because they've had lopsided victories. But in tight

2226
01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:53,920
Speaker 1: games like this, those snaps matter. And maybe the Dolphins

2227
01:56:53,960 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 1: aren't calling a blitz if it's not third and eight,

2228
01:56:56,240 --> 01:56:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, right, But also you're right as it might

2229
01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 1: be the only time in the entire game where they

2230
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:04,520
Speaker 1: handed it off two times in a row, you know

2231
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, They only ran it fifteen times, and

2232
01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:08,400
Speaker 1: that was two of them. Yeah, and I think that

2233
01:57:08,840 --> 01:57:11,240
Speaker 1: fifteen times with somebody other than Josh that discouraged them

2234
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:13,440
Speaker 1: from running it again because they didn't do it on

2235
01:57:13,480 --> 01:57:17,960
Speaker 1: the next I mean, they went pass pass, pass, pass pass,

2236
01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 1: and then they finally ran on a first and ten

2237
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:22,959
Speaker 1: at the thirty eight yard line. On the next possession,

2238
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 1: they threw the next sixth place, right. I mean, Dorsey's

2239
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:29,000
Speaker 1: like a hell with this, right, So I get the

2240
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:31,720
Speaker 1: play calling might be a con you know where you're saying,

2241
01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:34,400
Speaker 1: well that place, Yeah, maybe it is now because they

2242
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:37,200
Speaker 1: ran it twice and got stuffed twice and then gave

2243
01:57:37,280 --> 01:57:39,760
Speaker 1: up a sack fumble. Yeah, that's a pretty bad series.

2244
01:57:40,880 --> 01:57:44,040
Speaker 1: That's a pretty bad series. But if you look at

2245
01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:47,080
Speaker 1: it if you don't get the sack fund fundable up.

2246
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,040
Speaker 1: If they don't give that up, what makes you think

2247
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:52,000
Speaker 1: that drive's going to be any different than the other

2248
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:54,000
Speaker 1: eight drives? Were the only pend punted once and had

2249
01:57:54,120 --> 01:58:01,840
Speaker 1: five hundred yards offense. Yeah, so, um, nothing thing basically. So, Yeah,

2250
01:58:01,880 --> 01:58:05,640
Speaker 1: the sack fumbles huge and gives them a touchdown to

2251
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:07,800
Speaker 1: tie it up seven points for them. It could be

2252
01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:12,480
Speaker 1: a fourteen point swing. Well that's where we talk. That's

2253
01:58:12,520 --> 01:58:14,800
Speaker 1: why I said it was a game of lost points.

2254
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 1: You handed them seven on that end of the half.

2255
01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:20,120
Speaker 1: You don't get a field goal attempt up and away

2256
01:58:20,160 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 1: because you run out of time, You drop a pass

2257
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 1: in the end zone, you settle for a field goal.

2258
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 1: You lose four points there. You drop a pick six

2259
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 1: that's going in on from the thirty five yard line.

2260
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:34,040
Speaker 1: Seven there, Yeah, field goal blocked. You lose three there.

2261
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was a thirty eight yarder. Yeah, and

2262
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:38,520
Speaker 1: then you lose another three at the end of the

2263
01:58:38,560 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 1: game with no field goal attempt to win it. Yeah,

2264
01:58:40,960 --> 01:58:43,920
Speaker 1: that's twenty points. Yeah, that's where it goes. You know,

2265
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:48,800
Speaker 1: it's just and I don't Yeah, there's this big you

2266
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:52,280
Speaker 1: know thought out there that the statistics with the Bills

2267
01:58:52,280 --> 01:58:55,560
Speaker 1: are they win big, they lose small, lose and so

2268
01:58:55,600 --> 01:58:59,480
Speaker 1: therefore they're not very good in close games. Yeah, I'm

2269
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:03,320
Speaker 1: not really dying into that. Because the Rams game was

2270
01:59:03,360 --> 01:59:06,480
Speaker 1: a one, one possession game in the fourth quarter and

2271
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:11,160
Speaker 1: they won by twenty one. I'm pretty sure they were

2272
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:14,720
Speaker 1: pretty good in that close game they until it wasn't

2273
01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:19,160
Speaker 1: a close game, right, because I think that's, you know,

2274
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:21,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the environment we live in. I think

2275
01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 1: that's media guys scrapping for content because there's nothing. I

2276
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:29,320
Speaker 1: don't think there's any way you can justify a team

2277
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:32,640
Speaker 1: being having a problem because their losses are close and

2278
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:37,160
Speaker 1: their wins are big. I think that's a I don't

2279
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 1: get it. So we break here when we come back,

2280
01:59:41,360 --> 01:59:43,640
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls as we're asking you for

2281
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:46,560
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaways from the loss of the Dolphins on

2282
01:59:46,600 --> 01:59:51,160
Speaker 1: Sunday in Miami, and we'll have a little vision to

2283
01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:54,760
Speaker 1: victory what the Bills have to do going forward next

2284
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collid of Health,

2285
01:59:56,760 --> 02:00:08,800
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One

2286
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:11,879
Speaker 1: Bills Live. It is time for our Vision to Victory,

2287
02:00:12,040 --> 02:00:14,800
Speaker 1: presented by at Wall Eyecare, the official Eyecare provider of

2288
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, And for Steve and I, this is

2289
02:00:17,560 --> 02:00:22,480
Speaker 1: pretty simple going forward. Get healthy. That's easier said than

2290
02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:25,080
Speaker 1: done with some of the injuries they're dealing with, maybe

2291
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 1: most notably that Jordan Phillips hamstring injury. Hamstrings they just

2292
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 1: take time, big muscle, they're involved in explosion, which in

2293
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:38,720
Speaker 1: football you need on every single play. So I'm not

2294
02:00:38,960 --> 02:00:41,240
Speaker 1: terribly optic. I don't know anything, but I'm not terribly

2295
02:00:41,240 --> 02:00:44,560
Speaker 1: optimistic about Jordan Phillips being ready this week. But Ed

2296
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:47,960
Speaker 1: Oliver was practicing on a limited basis last week, hopefully

2297
02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:50,360
Speaker 1: that means good things for his availability this week after

2298
02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:54,640
Speaker 1: missing each of the last two games. And Mitch Morse

2299
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:57,320
Speaker 1: just ran out of time this past week to be

2300
02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 1: ready to play, as did Jordan Poyer. And we'll have

2301
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:04,320
Speaker 1: to find out just what Dane jackson situation is. He

2302
02:01:04,440 --> 02:01:09,600
Speaker 1: was observing practice late last week, standing out there walking

2303
02:01:09,640 --> 02:01:15,600
Speaker 1: around thankfully, But what does his neck injury Although he

2304
02:01:15,720 --> 02:01:21,360
Speaker 1: is not fortunately going to have any damage to his

2305
02:01:21,400 --> 02:01:26,320
Speaker 1: spinal cord or his neck, you know, basically his spine,

2306
02:01:27,720 --> 02:01:30,480
Speaker 1: what is his prognosis going forward? Is he a day

2307
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:32,760
Speaker 1: to day injury or is he a week to week injury.

2308
02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:35,600
Speaker 1: We don't know. Coach McDermot is supposed to address the

2309
02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:37,360
Speaker 1: media at four o'clock today, so we'll see if we

2310
02:01:37,440 --> 02:01:40,880
Speaker 1: get more clarity on some of these injuries. Not to

2311
02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:43,880
Speaker 1: mention the fact they had three players leave the game

2312
02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:47,879
Speaker 1: with injury yesterday in Benford, who NFL Network is reporting

2313
02:01:48,360 --> 02:01:52,680
Speaker 1: as a fractured hand, which would probably mean he cannot

2314
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:55,920
Speaker 1: play cornerback. Maybe he can wrap his hand up like

2315
02:01:55,960 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 1: a club and play on special teams like he did

2316
02:01:57,680 --> 02:02:00,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the game yesterday. Ryan in Bates

2317
02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:02,560
Speaker 1: with a head injury. Is he in concussion protocol? We

2318
02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:05,560
Speaker 1: might not find We may find out. And Jake Kumerou's

2319
02:02:05,600 --> 02:02:09,240
Speaker 1: ankle injury, how severe is that? So the list is

2320
02:02:09,280 --> 02:02:12,640
Speaker 1: still pretty long and we don't know where the light

2321
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:14,440
Speaker 1: is in terms of being the end of the tunnel

2322
02:02:14,480 --> 02:02:16,480
Speaker 1: for some of these. So we'll see what kind of

2323
02:02:16,520 --> 02:02:20,400
Speaker 1: clarity coach McDermot gives at four pm this afternoon. That's

2324
02:02:20,440 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 1: your vision to victory, get healthy? Yeah, there you go.

2325
02:02:22,800 --> 02:02:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys were on the late in

2326
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:29,120
Speaker 1: the week on Friday. Here's the guys that were on

2327
02:02:29,120 --> 02:02:32,920
Speaker 1: the injury list. Gabe Davis, Micah Hide, of course, Dane Jackson,

2328
02:02:32,960 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 1: Cam Lewis Dawson, Knox, Matt Milano, Mitch Morris, had Oliver,

2329
02:02:36,120 --> 02:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, Jordan Poor, your Tim settled, Tim, Reggie Gilliam,

2330
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:42,200
Speaker 1: and then Steph Diggs in time one Jones got veteran days.

2331
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:47,480
Speaker 1: It's a long list, and it got worse as during

2332
02:02:47,520 --> 02:02:50,960
Speaker 1: the game. Most of those injured guys played right or

2333
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:53,480
Speaker 1: half of them anyway. Well, Mica did not, of course,

2334
02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:57,160
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson did not, Mitch Morris did not, Ed Oliver

2335
02:02:57,360 --> 02:03:01,920
Speaker 1: did not, Jordan Phillips did not, Jordan did not, and

2336
02:03:01,960 --> 02:03:03,720
Speaker 1: then of course we lost all those guys that you

2337
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:08,800
Speaker 1: just mentioned. Knox been well, Knox, Brown, and Van Roden

2338
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:11,800
Speaker 1: were heat related, so you might anticipate with proper fluids

2339
02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:15,000
Speaker 1: they should be fine for this week's game, but we'll see.

2340
02:03:15,520 --> 02:03:18,040
Speaker 1: So that's where it's at. Let's get back to the

2341
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:21,520
Speaker 1: phones though. At eight three five fifty fifty two five

2342
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:27,600
Speaker 1: fifty to Kevin in Hamburg, we go, do you have first? Kevin? Kevin?

2343
02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Are you there? Yeah, I'm sorry, that's okay. What do

2344
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:33,440
Speaker 1: you got first? The only one to takeaway is that

2345
02:03:33,600 --> 02:03:35,360
Speaker 1: caller brought up at the end of the game, the

2346
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 1: bungle of not being able to snap the ball and

2347
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:42,040
Speaker 1: all that, But um, I wanted to bring up the

2348
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:45,680
Speaker 1: first half bungle bothered me more that we didn't get

2349
02:03:45,680 --> 02:03:48,080
Speaker 1: a chance to try a field goal and it was

2350
02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:52,680
Speaker 1: a lot closer, a lot closer two making it than

2351
02:03:52,760 --> 02:03:54,920
Speaker 1: the one even if he was spiked in. That was

2352
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:57,360
Speaker 1: a big bungle because if he would have tried to

2353
02:03:57,560 --> 02:04:00,320
Speaker 1: meet it, even if you had missed, I can have

2354
02:04:00,600 --> 02:04:03,240
Speaker 1: because still one who'd been up to twenty two even

2355
02:04:03,280 --> 02:04:07,960
Speaker 1: with the safety. So that, yeah, that was That was

2356
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,520
Speaker 1: the one that made me because it wouldn't have mattered

2357
02:04:10,520 --> 02:04:13,120
Speaker 1: about the first second half or nine, right, and that

2358
02:04:13,160 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 1: was it was like that first half fungal of not

2359
02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:20,360
Speaker 1: getting a chance to do nothing. That was more of

2360
02:04:20,480 --> 02:04:23,240
Speaker 1: a more in my paint way of a blunder, just

2361
02:04:23,320 --> 02:04:25,080
Speaker 1: as much as the end of the game. Well, yeah

2362
02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:27,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't and you know they both count for a

2363
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:29,320
Speaker 1: field goal, But you're right, and I'll say this as well.

2364
02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:31,120
Speaker 1: It was the snap and I think that was a

2365
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, Van Roden was snapping it, uh, and they

2366
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:42,840
Speaker 1: just weren't in sync with Van Roden Ormance snapping it.

2367
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:46,680
Speaker 1: They just didn't have confidence under center. Shotgun snaps are

2368
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:49,800
Speaker 1: easier to do, I think, I would think, but when

2369
02:04:49,800 --> 02:04:52,080
Speaker 1: you get the quarterback under center, it starts to become

2370
02:04:52,160 --> 02:04:57,360
Speaker 1: problematic because it's a really hard, fast exchange and in

2371
02:04:57,600 --> 02:05:00,160
Speaker 1: less the quarterbacks hands are in the exact right spot

2372
02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:02,200
Speaker 1: and the center puts it in the right spot for

2373
02:05:02,320 --> 02:05:06,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback, it's disaster. Um. It takes a lot of

2374
02:05:06,960 --> 02:05:08,600
Speaker 1: time to get it right. So when you're doing it

2375
02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:10,640
Speaker 1: with a guy who hasn't done it enough, you know

2376
02:05:11,080 --> 02:05:15,840
Speaker 1: you saw it. Um. I'll say this, and we talked

2377
02:05:15,880 --> 02:05:18,360
Speaker 1: about it Brian that thing at the set for end

2378
02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:19,760
Speaker 1: of the first half. He should have just thrown it

2379
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:23,400
Speaker 1: over Diggs's head because that's just throw it out of bounce. Um.

2380
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:26,280
Speaker 1: And what he's saying as well is earlier in the year,

2381
02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:29,680
Speaker 1: if you bobbled a snap, you cannot spike it. You

2382
02:05:29,720 --> 02:05:32,720
Speaker 1: can't spike it. That is no longer an option when

2383
02:05:32,720 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 1: you bobble this right, and he did, but the ball

2384
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:37,080
Speaker 1: didn't hit the ground, so it doesn't count as a bobble.

2385
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston in the New Orleans Saints game dropped it, it

2386
02:05:41,360 --> 02:05:42,720
Speaker 1: it went on the ground, he picked it up and

2387
02:05:42,720 --> 02:05:48,160
Speaker 1: then spiked it, and that's intentional grounding. Josh didn't drop it,

2388
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:51,240
Speaker 1: so he could have spiked it. Oh he could have.

2389
02:05:51,240 --> 02:05:53,080
Speaker 1: I thought he couldn't. That's what I heard. He could

2390
02:05:53,080 --> 02:05:54,800
Speaker 1: have spiked it and did it, but he didn't drop

2391
02:05:54,840 --> 02:05:56,720
Speaker 1: it on the ground, which is why he could have

2392
02:05:56,760 --> 02:05:59,440
Speaker 1: spiked it in that in that in that moment, but

2393
02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:02,520
Speaker 1: because he bobbled it. So you know, you think it's

2394
02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:06,400
Speaker 1: a bottle as a bobble, but it's not even So

2395
02:06:06,520 --> 02:06:08,120
Speaker 1: he could have thrown that out over the top of

2396
02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:11,240
Speaker 1: Digs's head and they've been just fine. Back to the

2397
02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:13,400
Speaker 1: phones into Matt in Buffalo. Next, what do you have

2398
02:06:13,400 --> 02:06:17,000
Speaker 1: for us? Matt? You're all one, Bill's live. Hey, guys,

2399
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:21,320
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Good? Question for Steve Um. I

2400
02:06:21,480 --> 02:06:25,560
Speaker 1: heard a lot of military guys calling it today. My

2401
02:06:25,680 --> 02:06:30,640
Speaker 1: question is is there some sort of protocol during the

2402
02:06:30,680 --> 02:06:32,720
Speaker 1: week when you know you're going to Miami it's gonna

2403
02:06:32,760 --> 02:06:35,360
Speaker 1: be hot? Um. I don't think there was any surprise

2404
02:06:36,120 --> 02:06:38,400
Speaker 1: in the military, like if if you if there was

2405
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:42,040
Speaker 1: something coming up on the calendar. The leadership and you

2406
02:06:42,080 --> 02:06:44,760
Speaker 1: know we're talking about, you know the same thing. I

2407
02:06:44,800 --> 02:06:49,320
Speaker 1: know the NFL players are, they're grown you know, grown men. Um.

2408
02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:53,800
Speaker 1: Same in the military, men and women. They wouldn't leave

2409
02:06:53,840 --> 02:06:58,600
Speaker 1: it up to you to hydrate yourself. They would, you know,

2410
02:06:58,600 --> 02:07:01,400
Speaker 1: as you'd stand in formation, we're gonna have two canteens.

2411
02:07:01,480 --> 02:07:04,920
Speaker 1: You're you're pounding two canteens. You're you know, if you're

2412
02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 1: in a classroom or whatever, you better have a canteen

2413
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:10,000
Speaker 1: on you. They they didn't leave it up to you.

2414
02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:13,440
Speaker 1: And so you hear this all the time in sports like, oh,

2415
02:07:13,480 --> 02:07:15,879
Speaker 1: you know, we can only control what we can control.

2416
02:07:16,040 --> 02:07:22,640
Speaker 1: But it feels like hydration. It's something it's controllable on

2417
02:07:23,080 --> 02:07:27,160
Speaker 1: both the right. I think what we're seeing. My question

2418
02:07:27,240 --> 02:07:31,640
Speaker 1: for you is, you know, how does that work in

2419
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 1: an NFL locker room? All right, yeah, Matt, I'll say

2420
02:07:34,640 --> 02:07:37,520
Speaker 1: that's right. It is everything just short of putting them

2421
02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:40,520
Speaker 1: in formation and having them drink, No question, they are

2422
02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:46,240
Speaker 1: on it hard. Um. I think the question is, was

2423
02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:48,920
Speaker 1: the heat and humidity in Miami, given what the players

2424
02:07:48,920 --> 02:07:50,960
Speaker 1: are being asked to do playing in an NFL game,

2425
02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:56,240
Speaker 1: was there just no getting around some guys just dropping out? Um?

2426
02:07:56,320 --> 02:07:59,040
Speaker 1: I think that's more what you're looking at here than

2427
02:07:59,480 --> 02:08:01,680
Speaker 1: the team not doing everything in its power to hydrate

2428
02:08:01,720 --> 02:08:03,120
Speaker 1: these guys. I think Some of these guys were going

2429
02:08:03,200 --> 02:08:05,280
Speaker 1: to drop out of this game at some point no

2430
02:08:05,360 --> 02:08:07,680
Speaker 1: matter what. And some of them might have lasted a

2431
02:08:07,720 --> 02:08:10,000
Speaker 1: little longer with more hydration. Some of them might not have.

2432
02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:15,120
Speaker 1: But I think, yes, they put these guys on and

2433
02:08:15,160 --> 02:08:19,680
Speaker 1: they pound the message and they do not I'll say this,

2434
02:08:19,800 --> 02:08:22,360
Speaker 1: they do not put them in formation and force them

2435
02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:25,640
Speaker 1: to drink fluids. But it's pretty close. Yeah. I mean,

2436
02:08:25,640 --> 02:08:28,480
Speaker 1: they monitored them very closely throughout the day when they're

2437
02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:31,600
Speaker 1: here on site, but they can't be a babysitter for

2438
02:08:31,640 --> 02:08:34,400
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. These are grown men who are professionals,

2439
02:08:34,920 --> 02:08:37,440
Speaker 1: and it's on them to take care of their body

2440
02:08:37,520 --> 02:08:39,440
Speaker 1: so they can perform at their best on game day.

2441
02:08:39,480 --> 02:08:41,160
Speaker 1: If some of them didn't do that, and we don't

2442
02:08:41,200 --> 02:08:45,000
Speaker 1: know that, maybe the conditions are just so oppressive. No

2443
02:08:45,080 --> 02:08:48,200
Speaker 1: matter what kind of preparation you put in, it wasn't

2444
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna work, especially after a twenty play drive on offense

2445
02:08:51,840 --> 02:08:54,960
Speaker 1: in the second half of the football game. But if

2446
02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 1: some of them did not, hopefully it's a valuable lesson

2447
02:08:57,320 --> 02:09:01,120
Speaker 1: going forward. We go to Brian in Springville next, Brian,

2448
02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:02,600
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one bills live?

2449
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:06,400
Speaker 1: How you guys doing today, We're doing good good. I

2450
02:09:06,400 --> 02:09:07,880
Speaker 1: just thought it, like, I know a lot of people

2451
02:09:07,880 --> 02:09:10,280
Speaker 1: have been talking about it, but kudost this offensive line

2452
02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:13,280
Speaker 1: obviously banged up the way they played. I'm obviously our

2453
02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:16,840
Speaker 1: defensive backfield. I'm just getting a little you know, it

2454
02:09:16,880 --> 02:09:19,000
Speaker 1: aggravates me to think about, like everybody wants to keep

2455
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:21,440
Speaker 1: talking about four hundred and five hundred yards whatever Josh

2456
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:23,400
Speaker 1: is doing. At the end of the day, the guys

2457
02:09:23,400 --> 02:09:26,760
Speaker 1: through sixty three times. If you take exactly what the

2458
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:30,080
Speaker 1: opposite quarterback did and you get him sixty three passes,

2459
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:33,000
Speaker 1: he's going five hundred and fifty yards easy. I think

2460
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:35,320
Speaker 1: that the problem yesterday is, and this is what should

2461
02:09:35,360 --> 02:09:38,400
Speaker 1: be addressed, is our biggest players. Josh is our future.

2462
02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:40,240
Speaker 1: He's he owns the reason we're gonna win a Super

2463
02:09:40,280 --> 02:09:43,640
Speaker 1: Bowl someday. And you take Von Miller, who you just

2464
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:45,800
Speaker 1: signed away huge deal. You have to look at those

2465
02:09:45,840 --> 02:09:48,840
Speaker 1: two guys specifically and say, this is the main reason

2466
02:09:48,920 --> 02:09:51,400
Speaker 1: we did not win this football game. Josh had multiple

2467
02:09:51,400 --> 02:09:54,960
Speaker 1: opportunities to finish this game and he didn't come through

2468
02:09:54,960 --> 02:09:58,160
Speaker 1: in the clutch. And where was Von Miller yesterday? This

2469
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:01,720
Speaker 1: is a game that you absolutely him to show up

2470
02:10:02,040 --> 02:10:05,520
Speaker 1: when you have no safeties, two rookie corners, and this

2471
02:10:05,600 --> 02:10:07,320
Speaker 1: is how he shows up. I need two or three

2472
02:10:07,320 --> 02:10:09,520
Speaker 1: sacks from him, not not weak one. This is the

2473
02:10:09,520 --> 02:10:11,280
Speaker 1: game that we paid him to play, and he did

2474
02:10:11,360 --> 02:10:15,560
Speaker 1: not show up either. Yeah. I don't know, Brian. I

2475
02:10:15,560 --> 02:10:17,880
Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit of an oversimplification, but

2476
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:20,320
Speaker 1: I get your point. You want your best guys to

2477
02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:23,080
Speaker 1: show up and show up a lot. I think it

2478
02:10:23,160 --> 02:10:25,400
Speaker 1: might be that one of our best players now on

2479
02:10:25,560 --> 02:10:28,600
Speaker 1: that side of the ball is Greg Rousseau, and he

2480
02:10:28,600 --> 02:10:31,320
Speaker 1: did show up. I don't think anybody's going to go

2481
02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:33,520
Speaker 1: in there and get you expect you got to get

2482
02:10:33,560 --> 02:10:35,560
Speaker 1: three sacks. How often does it happen that a guy

2483
02:10:35,600 --> 02:10:38,400
Speaker 1: gets three sacks a game anywhere anybody. I don't know

2484
02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:41,200
Speaker 1: that Bruce did it all that often, and he was

2485
02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:44,720
Speaker 1: the best guy to ever do it. So I know

2486
02:10:44,760 --> 02:10:46,880
Speaker 1: you're exaggerating to make a point, and I get it.

2487
02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:49,440
Speaker 1: In fact, I was just watching a little bit of

2488
02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:51,240
Speaker 1: the game, and there was a couple of times when

2489
02:10:51,320 --> 02:10:54,080
Speaker 1: the Bills had Vaughan. There was one time early in

2490
02:10:54,120 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: the game Vaughan was back defending a path. He backed out,

2491
02:10:57,680 --> 02:11:01,120
Speaker 1: so they tried to cross the line up. Yeah, because

2492
02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:03,120
Speaker 1: they were committing two guys to him on almost right,

2493
02:11:03,240 --> 02:11:05,320
Speaker 1: so they were double team and Vaughan as they drop

2494
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:08,000
Speaker 1: Vaughan off into a zone and bring two guys over

2495
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:10,280
Speaker 1: and two has to get rid of it quick because

2496
02:11:10,320 --> 02:11:13,720
Speaker 1: of that. So I'm not I think it's oversimplifying it

2497
02:11:13,760 --> 02:11:15,600
Speaker 1: to say two guys on the Bills needed to show

2498
02:11:15,680 --> 02:11:19,880
Speaker 1: up and neither one of them did. Yeah, I just

2499
02:11:19,880 --> 02:11:22,680
Speaker 1: think it's a little over simplification, simplification, although I do

2500
02:11:22,800 --> 02:11:24,760
Speaker 1: You're right, those two guys we'd love to see him.

2501
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:27,360
Speaker 1: You want them to play well. They're paid to play well,

2502
02:11:27,480 --> 02:11:29,400
Speaker 1: and we expected him to play well because they've done

2503
02:11:29,440 --> 02:11:32,680
Speaker 1: it in the past. I get it. I mean, Josh

2504
02:11:32,640 --> 02:11:34,080
Speaker 1: will be the first to tell you didn't have a

2505
02:11:34,080 --> 02:11:39,400
Speaker 1: perfect game, but you're not even in the game without him.

2506
02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:42,120
Speaker 1: He's the leading rusher. He throws for four hundred yards,

2507
02:11:42,480 --> 02:11:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean two toes, two touchdown and give me a break,

2508
02:11:45,360 --> 02:11:48,520
Speaker 1: not showing. Are you kidding me? Come on, come on

2509
02:11:48,560 --> 02:11:51,000
Speaker 1: with that. You want to argue von Miller, fine, the

2510
02:11:51,120 --> 02:11:53,880
Speaker 1: game plan specifically for him with respect to the pass rush.

2511
02:11:53,920 --> 02:11:56,920
Speaker 1: It's why Greg Rousseau had opportunities among the other guys

2512
02:11:56,960 --> 02:12:01,720
Speaker 1: on that defensive line. But come on, bro, Like Josh

2513
02:12:01,840 --> 02:12:06,040
Speaker 1: led the team in rushing, two touchdown passes, made plays,

2514
02:12:06,440 --> 02:12:09,360
Speaker 1: ran for first downs, through for four hundred yards, and

2515
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:11,480
Speaker 1: you're telling me you need more from him. I mean,

2516
02:12:11,480 --> 02:12:13,760
Speaker 1: what do you want him to do? Lift the stadium

2517
02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:15,520
Speaker 1: up off the ground to get the hell out of

2518
02:12:15,560 --> 02:12:18,320
Speaker 1: here with that? I'm sorry, you're out of your mind

2519
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:20,840
Speaker 1: on that. You want to talk about Von, we'll talk

2520
02:12:20,880 --> 02:12:23,240
Speaker 1: about Von and how he was game planned against. But

2521
02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 1: don't give me that with Josh Allen. The guy had

2522
02:12:25,760 --> 02:12:29,960
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty seven yards total, he was responsible

2523
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 1: for at of what four hundred and ninety seven? He

2524
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:35,680
Speaker 1: had all but fifty of the team's damn yards in

2525
02:12:35,680 --> 02:12:38,240
Speaker 1: the whole game. So don't tell me you need more

2526
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:41,120
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen. Go sit down and think about it

2527
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:43,120
Speaker 1: for a second. Alright, we'll be back to wrap it

2528
02:12:43,200 --> 02:13:00,880
Speaker 1: up here on One Bill's Live. All Right, welcome back

2529
02:13:00,920 --> 02:13:03,560
Speaker 1: to one Bill's Live. I know I got a little

2530
02:13:03,560 --> 02:13:07,440
Speaker 1: testy there right before the break. But the next time

2531
02:13:07,480 --> 02:13:10,280
Speaker 1: somebody tells me they need more from Josh Allen, the

2532
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:14,480
Speaker 1: next time you see you can definitively say to me

2533
02:13:15,720 --> 02:13:20,200
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen didn't do enough. You need to get

2534
02:13:20,200 --> 02:13:23,080
Speaker 1: your head examined, because I don't know if a guy

2535
02:13:23,120 --> 02:13:25,760
Speaker 1: can do more than what he's done through the first

2536
02:13:25,760 --> 02:13:29,680
Speaker 1: three weeks. This just in. He's the only guy in

2537
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:32,879
Speaker 1: the NFL that's thrown for over a thousand yards already

2538
02:13:33,200 --> 02:13:37,480
Speaker 1: through three games. So please with the we need more

2539
02:13:37,520 --> 02:13:40,920
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen. You're out of your skull, you really are,

2540
02:13:41,680 --> 02:13:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I don't know what you're looking at.

2541
02:13:45,520 --> 02:13:50,240
Speaker 1: But news flash, if you think you need more from him,

2542
02:13:50,280 --> 02:13:51,800
Speaker 1: you don't know how lucky you are to have him

2543
02:13:51,800 --> 02:13:55,240
Speaker 1: as your quarterback. That's all I'm gonna say. You want

2544
02:13:55,240 --> 02:13:58,640
Speaker 1: to take us home here, Steve Who Evan Washburn's coming

2545
02:13:58,640 --> 02:14:01,600
Speaker 1: on the show tomorrow and he's a guy I've worked

2546
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:05,120
Speaker 1: with before, a sideline reporter for CBS, and uh, I

2547
02:14:05,120 --> 02:14:06,680
Speaker 1: think he's doing the game and he's doing the game

2548
02:14:06,680 --> 02:14:10,320
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Have Evan Washburn on tomorrow with us as

2549
02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:13,480
Speaker 1: we start to turn the page towards the Ravens. All Right,

2550
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:15,720
Speaker 1: that's it for a Buffalo Football Monday. We'll see you

2551
02:14:15,720 --> 02:14:25,920
Speaker 1: Tuesday at one
