00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Oh a good time. I Steve Claspers domesticks over time. Oh, man,

00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show here for the next three hours.

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: I am John Murphy. This is Team Tasker. The Buffalo

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: Bills are practicing inside New air Field today. That's what

7
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: they do on Fridays this seasons before home games start

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: of the stadium. In the stadium, didn't I said, inside? Yeah, Yeah,

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: they're a New air Field today pract team. Which is

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: what they do on Friday's, uh this season is they

11
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: get ready for another home game, the second of a

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: three game Homestand um, when it first came up, I thought, man,

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last set, and there was a

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: three game homestand you know what, there was one just

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: two years ago, a matter of fact, late in the year.

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: But it feels good. You know. I had a group

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: see I spoke to a group of high school students

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: here Tuesday this week and I told them they were,

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, interested in studying sports management, et cetera in

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: the future. And I said, you know, you know what

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: the best day I've said this to you on the show.

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: Friday's before a home game is a great day to

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: be here working at one Bill's Drive. It just is.

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: You can feel it. There's a bus, there's the buzzes

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: here today as we get to the second of three

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: straight home games with a five and one team that's

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: on the verge of something really special it would seem

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: this year, and a chance to add to it make

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: it even more special if they come out of Sunday

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: with the victory against against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: big game. That's toughest opponent of the Bills have had

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: since New England and maybe the second most the second

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: biggest challenge they've had this season. I'm prepared to say

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: it as well. I'm gonna take it for granted that

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: most Bills fans have not been watching the Eagles closely.

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: You and I, on the other hand, go back and

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: watch these games, right. I want right, I want to

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: see what these guys look like. They're three and four

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: on the season. They beat Green Bay in Green Bay,

40
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: and they just took a big lump to the Dallas

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys this last week. But they're very injured and their

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: best offensive player that big time wide receiver that all

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Bills fans wish we had is now out of the

44
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: game for them. Yeah. Yeah. They have notoriously slow started

45
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: their games as well. They've been outscored by a ton

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: in the first half of their games. So they got

47
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff working for them that has led to

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: their three and four record. They are not far away

49
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: from being a lot like the team they were two

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: years ago they won the World Championship. They still got

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. They've still got some guys who can

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: get it done. They're tight ends are coming around playing well,

53
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: and I think a little bit of that is because

54
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: of Deshaun Jackson not being in the game. Their defensive

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: line is nicked up big time. They may have some

56
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: practice squad players playing starting the game this week against

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, so you can see. You know, they've

58
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: got some issues they're dealing with that have nothing to

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: do with the quality of team they are. They're just

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, problems that they get dumped on that weren't

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: of their doing. They're a good football team. Yeah, pretty,

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: that's it's It's gonna be a tough game, There's no

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: question about it. You look at their schedule. The Eagles

64
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: yes three and four, but this is the This is

65
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: their third straight game on the road, and the first

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: two were pretty tough and they got spanked in each

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: one of them, a loss at Minnesota a couple of

68
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: weeks ago and the loss at Dallas last week. But

69
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: as Steve said, the loss of DeShawn Jackson consider the

70
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: Eagles right. They go into the year thinking, let's get

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: to Shawn Jackson back. He was gone for a couple

72
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: of years Tampa Bay in Washington, right, comes back age

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: thirty two. Still he led the league at age thirty

74
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: one a year ago. Deshaun Jackson did in average yards

75
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: per reception like nineteen yards per reception. Still a dynamic playmaker.

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: They get him back and it starts out great. They

77
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: got Nelson Agilar, they got Um, they got DeShawn Jackson,

78
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: and they got Alshon Jeffrey. Those are three good, solid

79
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: quality wide receivers NFL proven talents. And DeShawn Jackson comes

80
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: back and starts out on fire in the game their

81
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: opener against Washington, one hundred and fifty four yards, two touchdowns.

82
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: He had like a fifty two yard or more touchdowns

83
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: and then hurt his abdomen in Week two. He's been

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: out since then, not expected to play this week. I

85
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: don't think he's really practiced. He's done a little bit

86
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: this week, but not expected to play, and since he'd

87
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: been out of the lineup Deshaun Jackson, the Eagles have

88
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: just two catches in their passing game of thirty yards

89
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: or more to a wide receiver. Just two. That's you know,

90
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: we talk about the Bill struggles in the passing game.

91
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: That's a real struggle. They're just not able to do

92
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: it without him. They planned on having him. They I'm

93
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: sure they think he's getting closer, but he was a

94
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: force in their opening day win against Washington and has

95
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: not been able to produce them because of the injury.

96
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: The fact that he's out is big. I know talking

97
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: to some Bills personnel this week, including high up in

98
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: the personnel department, when they asked them about Eagles, first

99
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: thing they said is, let's hope to Sean Jackson doesn't

100
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: get healthy and hurry because he is a force not

101
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: likely to be in the game. That's a big advantage

102
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: for the Bills. You mentioned some of the other injuries

103
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: they have, but still steve desperate as they will be

104
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: as talented as they are, and I think Carson Wentz

105
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: is pretty talented. I would not und sell the Eagles

106
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: chances of coming up here and getting this one. I

107
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: think the Bills are gonna be are gonna be challenged

108
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: big time in this gun. I'm not saying they're gonna lose,

109
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be challenged like they haven't been in

110
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Yeah, you saw the same thing

111
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: I did. You watch these guys playing and you think, like, like, man,

112
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is really good. He's really Good's good. You know,

113
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: he's he's athletic enough. I don't know if he's fast

114
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: as Josh Allen, but he's athletic. He's big, he's sturdy,

115
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: he's strong, he's wide, and he's got a great just

116
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: like Josh. He's got a great, live, strong arm. He

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: can fire off different platforms. Don't that to be set?

118
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz can fire the ball on a dime downfield,

119
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: and that capability is there. Hasn't happened much. Definitely misses

120
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: the son Jackson, but that capability is there for him

121
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: to just flick it downfield on a dime, and that's

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: a that's a weapon for them. Yeah, we're starting to

123
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: get to know. It's it's interesting too because now we're

124
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: deep into the season now and it's kind of you

125
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: got to handle on who these teams are and all

126
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: the stuff that changes week to week, notwithstanding like injuries

127
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: and guys in and out and whatever, what have you,

128
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: and particular opponent and all of the stuff home and

129
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: away games. You kind of get a handle on who

130
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: all these teams are. And people are starting to get

131
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: a handle on the Bills too. They're starting to dissect

132
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: why the Bills are have the record they do. And

133
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: sometimes it's a little bit you said it this Morning's

134
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: a little bit like the twenty seventeen Bills where they

135
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: were winning these games and the numbers just didn't add up.

136
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: We could score points, didn't have a real strong passing attack.

137
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: We're beating teams, you know. And it's interesting too, because

138
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: there's only been six teams in the last ten years

139
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: in this decade that scored twenty points twenty point two.

140
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: The Bills are scoring twenty point two a game thanks

141
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: to their thirty one point outbreak last week. They're scoring

142
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: twenty point two points a game. Six teams this decade

143
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: have been able to finish the season with a winning record,

144
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: scoring that many points or fewer or fewer, and when

145
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs, only six they don't win.

146
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: They go one in five. Yeah, they've only one of

147
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: those teams has won a playoff game, a wildcard game.

148
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: So it's you know, that's been I think the one

149
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: gaping wart that has been on a five and one season,

150
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: the fact that they don't score points consistently enough. You know,

151
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: thirty one points last week is awesome, and they got

152
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 1: six from the special teams, but that, you know, twenty

153
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: four points is about where you'd like to be as

154
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: an offense if you could do it every week, right,

155
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: But there they're not. There m fourteen teams in the NFL.

156
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: These are stats that you kind of come across fourteen

157
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: teams this year right now, Week seven in the NFL,

158
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: fourteen teams have a winning record in the league. The

159
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: Bills dead last in scoring among that group is Steve

160
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: said twenty point two points per game, dead last, and

161
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: third down percentage thirty three percent, passer rating seventy eight

162
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: point three. Fourteen teams with a winning record in the

163
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: Bills are lasting points and then third down percentage and

164
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: passer rating, and look, yeah it's five and one, and

165
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: it's great. It's been great, and they are resourceful as

166
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: all get out. We've seen that trailing and coming back

167
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: and winning. They played great defense. But if you're gonna

168
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: go deep in the playoffs, which every Bill's fan is

169
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: starting to think about, you're gonna need more production on offense.

170
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: And I would say, you'd like to see it start

171
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: this week, but that's not gonna be easy against a

172
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: very formidable defense, defensive front in particular. Right, they're very

173
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: good against the run. You can you can kind of

174
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: count on it too. And we've seen this in Buffalo.

175
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: We're kind of used to it. This is you know,

176
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna be a thirty five to ten game

177
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: one way or the other. The Bill's defense won't let

178
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: that happen. And you think about the competitive games that

179
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: have happened since nineteen seventy, this is the fourth most.

180
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: There have been the fourth most games decided by one

181
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: point or fewer. Weeks one through seven since nineteen seventy,

182
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: there have been nine games in the league that have

183
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: been decided by one point or less, which means there

184
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: was a tie as well. One game one one point

185
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: or less. Nine games out of all of them have

186
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: been decided by one point through weeks one through seven.

187
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: That's since nineteen seventy There have been three times when

188
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: there were ten, nobody's had eleven, and there's only been

189
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: two seasons where there's nine nineteen seventy two and this year.

190
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Nine games have been decided by one point or less

191
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: and then of course decided by seven points or fewer

192
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: weeks one through seven. In NFL history, twenty nineteen is

193
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: fourth overall. Only ninety nine twenty sixteen in two thousand

194
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: and twelve have more games decided by seven or fewer

195
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: points than two thousand nineteen. There are a ton of

196
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: close games in the National Football League this year, a

197
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: ton of them. And the Bills are right at the

198
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: point of that. Yeah, we're in the we're neck deep

199
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: close games, right, Yeah, I mean the Bills average and

200
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: what twenty points per game and give up fourteen point

201
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: fifteen points per game right there in that range, we're all,

202
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, with the exception of the Miami game, right,

203
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: there were all seven point games. No, the Giants game

204
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: was a fourteen point game. Here's the point. All these

205
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: numbers what's the point here. The point this is going

206
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: to be a very good game as a Sunday It's

207
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: going to be a I think, a compelling game, maybe

208
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: the best game on the NFL schedule. A desperate, desperate

209
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: Philadelphia team a year and a half removed from their

210
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship. A Buffalo Bills team that's on the rise,

211
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: feeling good about where they're at, feeling good about playing

212
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: at home, feeling great about their defense. It's gonna be

213
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: a great game. I can't wait. I know the weather

214
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: is not going to be great. We can't do anything

215
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: about that. But this is going to be a great

216
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, the Bills and the Eagles. The Bills

217
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: practicing as we speak inside the New air Stadium right now,

218
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: New Airfield, wondering. We're wondering about what the injury report

219
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: might look like. Matt Milano the top name on the

220
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: list hamstring limited. We'll hear from a head coach Sean

221
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: McDermott we think later in the day about what his

222
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: status is. McDermott indicated today on his morning radio show

223
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: that Formilano, it could be a game time decision. They

224
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: may take it right up to kickoff. On Sunday. The

225
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: other injured players, Kurt Coleman has not practiced this week.

226
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: An important special teamer and important depth that safety Kurt Coleman,

227
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: with a hamstring has not practiced. Cornerback Kevin Johnson important

228
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: depth player right place a Nicol and backs up at corner.

229
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: He's been limited with a neck injury. A couple of

230
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: other limited players. Duke Williams, a wide receiver with a

231
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: shoulder limited all week. Duke did finish last week, which

232
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: would seem to indicate that they might be able to

233
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: get him through this game on Sunday, we'll see, and

234
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: linebacker Corey Thompson looks like he might be able to go,

235
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: but we'll see. We'll get the official injury report later

236
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 1: in the day. In the Eagles, their injury list is

237
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: lengthy and significant. Sign againel Nigel Bradham did not practice today.

238
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson, we talked about him. Timmy Journagin likely to

239
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: be out backup corner of Vante Maddox did not practice yesterday.

240
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: Jason Peters probably gonna miss another game there. Pro Bowl

241
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: left tackle Darren Sproles has missed a game or two

242
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: with quad muscle injury. They've got the injury issues that

243
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: the Bills don't have. Great game coming up on Sunday,

Speaker 1: college buddies. There they've got I guess my vintage of

259
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,000

304
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: with how you think the Bills are gonna move the

305
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: football on this team, and I think the conditions may

306
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: this may be one of the early times in the season,

307
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: probably the first well it's the first one of this

308
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: this season that where the elements may play a factor

309
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: in the outcome and the and the tactics of the

310
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: game because of the wind and rain. Really, I don't

311
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: know if it's rain and it does. I mean, I

312
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna throw it fifty times in a rainstorm,

313
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: not here, not in this I'm gonna throw a fifty

314
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: times anytime. Well, I'm exadgrained to make a point, you know,

315
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Yeah, I'm checking the weather because I know

316
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad when the other is likely to

317
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: be bad, which it clearly is. I usually stay away

318
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: from checking the weather, but I will because I know

319
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: the last time I checked it was going to be

320
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: a high of fifty seven and rain and possibly wind

321
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I'll get a more accurate update Sunday sixty

322
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: two high okay, forty eight, and it's it's gonna rain, bro, Yeah,

323
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: it's all right, that'll be part of it. It's October,

324
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: late October and Orchard Park. You can expect that. I

325
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: still think it's gonna be a great game on Sunday,

326
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: and I hope you're coming to it. If not, you

327
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: can listen on the radio. Rain and wind on Sunday

328
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: high sixty three nine ninety percent chance of rain wins

329
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: twenty one miles per hour. That's significant, Steve, You're right,

330
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: the wind comes in and most when you play in

331
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: in in New era, the wind pattern was such. I remember.

332
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: I'll let me just tell you one quick old time story.

333
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: So we used to practice in the state. You're you're

334
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: taking a deep breath. You don't want to hear this,

335
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: how old time it is? Well, I was practicing in

336
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: the state. We practiced in the state hum almost every day, sure,

337
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: and it was cold and raining, and got to the

338
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: point Marv was kind of a player's coach, and we

339
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: it was so cold we practiced out there's so much.

340
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: We had benches on the side. So if you weren't practicing,

341
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: if it was offense, defense or whatever, you go over

342
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: and sit on a heated benches. They'd have him out

343
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: there for So here is you're riveted by my story.

344
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: I can tell huh, the wind is such in that

345
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: joint we used to have. You do you know what

346
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: pre wrap is for taping? What it is. It's a

347
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: little roll of foam rubber, oh, the stretchy stuff it

348
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: and it goes underneath the tape that you put on

349
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: your ankles. Art still was standing there at all six

350
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: eight of him. He's standing there with a little foot

351
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: long piece and it was like a little like it's

352
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: almost like tissue paper, except it's made out of foam rubber,

353
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: and it's very thin, very He holds it up in

354
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: his hand standing on the sidelines and let's go of it.

355
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: It goes up and we all stand there. It's you know,

356
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: it's a piece that you could watch. It goes up

357
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: towards the press box, up over the top of the

358
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: press box, down towards the score We're standing at the

359
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: home side sideline bench area, towards the war board, across

360
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, over to the other side at the top

361
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: of the stadium, back over across the entire stadium, back

362
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: came back to us a ground again, took another loop

363
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: around and then went over the outside to the top

364
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: of the other stadium. It took. It took forever for that.

365
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: We sat there and we're mesmerized. We're mesmerized by that's

366
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: the wind in that place. I mean, you just stuff

367
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: blows around in there. And I know this too. We've

368
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: gotten benefit and detriment to the wind coming out of

369
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: the scoreboard end on the visitor's side. It knocks every

370
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: pass and every kick down over there, and if it's

371
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: twenty mile an hour winds, it'll have an effect if

372
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: you kick off into that end zone. Sometimes what happens

373
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: is the guy coming up to field it adjust too

374
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: late to it and it gets knocked down. He has

375
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: to he has to really attack the ball to come up.

376
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: He has to know what's happening. We've gotten When I

377
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: was playing, we got a number of turnovers that way.

378
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: And I know the first game, I mean to say this,

379
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: the first game of Marvel Leavy's career is head coach.

380
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: We won because of that wind. Yeah. Well, what was

381
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: his quote? Thank God for a stiff wind and fifty

382
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: stout art? Yeah yeah, yeah. And then he Marv's off

383
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: and running. He threw that. He threw that. I don't know.

384
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: It was a Bubby Brister who the quarterback was for

385
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers that day, way back in the day. Gosh,

386
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: that's a anyway, nineteen eighty six, November ninth or whatever.

387
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: The last play of the game, they were driving to

388
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: win and they threw the ball into that wind. It

389
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: knocked down and our guy picked it off. Yea, So

390
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: what's that If the wind's gonna be a factor, I'm

391
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: telling you, Brenda, is when it can be a big

392
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: factor in the kicking game. And it's interesting. Did I

393
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: mention this to you? The Jake Elliott, third year kicker

394
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia, is yet to make a miss a kick

395
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: this year. He made all of his extra points. He's

396
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: eight for eight. Unfield keep saying that, keep saying, keep

397
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: saying no impact, keep saying, but he is yet to miss.

398
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: Say that on the broadcast will first things and the

399
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: second time too. Our Twitter. Our Twitter poll today deals

400
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: with Sunday's game. I think it's a compelling matchup. I

401
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: really do. I know it's NFC. I know there's not

402
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: great history, you know, Lenkedy history between these two teams.

403
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: But I think it's a really compelling matchup between these

404
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: two teams. And we want to know what you think.

405
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: And I think The matchup is can Buffalo move the

406
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: football on these Eagles? They're pretty good defensively, strong against

407
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: the run, less strong much less strong against the pass.

408
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: So here we go our Twitter poll. What's the best

409
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: way for the Bills offense to move the ball Sunday

410
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: against the Eagles? Now, this is an Eagles matchup question.

411
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: This is also a question that gets to where the

412
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are on offense. Right, We've talked about it.

413
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: We talked about it every day. They're they're limitations so

414
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: far on offense. How you know, the deep passing team

415
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: hasn't been there, and Josh hasn't been tremendously consistent, and

416
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: is the clutcher consistent? Auto Those offensive issues rolled up

417
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: into this question and the matchup. What's the best way

418
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: for the Bills offense to move the ball Sunday against

419
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: the Eagles? Five hundred votes in so far. We got

420
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: two hours left to go. But on the Twitter poll,

421
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of you say the best way is

422
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: to air it out. The Eagles have a porous secondary.

423
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: The Eagles twenty seventh in past defense in the NFL.

424
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: The Eagle average given up twenty seven points per game. Yeah,

425
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: maybe that's the best way, even if the Bills have

426
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: struggled throwing the football. Thirty three percent of you size

427
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: of them out say the best way for the Bills

428
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: offensive move the ball is to run it against the

429
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: banged up front seven. It's a talented front seven, but

430
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: it's a banged up front seven. And the Eagles are

431
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna have a couple of new guys, one would think

432
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: in getting some snaps Anthony Rush and Albert Huggins added

433
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: to their roster Tuesday. Neither one of them would played

434
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: it down in the NFL. They are likely to play

435
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: if Jermagan doesn't play, one of them could even start.

436
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 1: Nine percent of respondent say something else. There's another way

437
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: for the Bills offense to move the ball. What do

438
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: you think? Phone lines open eighth three five fifty, toll

439
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

440
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: Send it a tweet. We can read it on the

441
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, or give us a call. We'd love to

442
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: hear your voice. We're just voting the Twitter poll the

443
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: best way for the Bills to move the ball against

444
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles Sunday. Now, they've had a really good run defense,

445
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: but they are so banged up. Last week, Dallas ran

446
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: it for one hundred and eighty nine yards against them,

447
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: so they're starting to show the injury in their production.

448
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: They were still a top ten defense against the run

449
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL even after giving up almost one hundred

450
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: and ninety yards last week. And last week also Dak

451
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: Prescott only threw for two hundred and thirteen yards. So

452
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: Dallas had a plan they were gonna they were gonna

453
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: bang it against that depleted front of Philly, and it

454
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: worked for him. But the real difference in that game,

455
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: and you watched it just like I did, Murph, was

456
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: the turnovers. Um. Yeah, early turned it over. Early turnovers.

457
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: They turned it over on their first two possessions that

458
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: led to fourteen points. Bang, you're down fourteen to nothing

459
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: in Dallas against Dallas for the division lead. That's not

460
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: a place you want to be, right and the Philadelphia

461
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: did it to themselves. So what do you think best

462
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: way for the Bill's offense to attack Philadelphia? Give us

463
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: a call? Eight O three fifty toll free one eight

464
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty to the phones.

465
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: We go and David and Buffalo on the line with us. Hello, David,

466
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: go ahead a fella's good morning, great day to be

467
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: a Buffalo fan. There's a lot of good things happening. Yeah,

468
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: and uh with weather situation on Sunday, I think it's

469
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: really good that Josh Allen is one of the top

470
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: rated quarterbacks in the league at nineteen and under. That

471
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: might fit right into the game plan for that nineteen

472
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: yards and under he is top rated in the league.

473
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: And conversely, twenty yards or more he is his quarterback

474
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: rating is the worst, I believe. So. Yeah, and look,

475
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You gotta sometimes take a step back

476
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: and think of where the Bills were, where the Bills

477
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: fan base was on Josh Allen. You know, a year ago,

478
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe a year and a half ago, the deal was, well,

479
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: he's got to develop a short and intermediate passing game.

480
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: He has and the offense has adapted. They throw it

481
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: well short and intermediate. Now they didn't do that well

482
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: last year. Do they need to connect on the deep passes?

483
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: You you bet your life they need to do that.

484
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: But he has made development in that area. It's a

485
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: lot because of the cast around him, including better protection

486
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley and John Brown, et cetera. And a

487
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: lot because of the approach of this offense. They want

488
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: to get the shortened intermediate passes. Go ahead, Sorry, David,

489
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: what were you saying? That's okay, you're breaking up on

490
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: me a little bit. I just wanted to say that

491
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: I appreciate the Bills this year. We all got to

492
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: learn together, I guess, and I think that there's a

493
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: real process in Buffalo. I'm a spoiled Bills fan from

494
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: the Kelly years, you know so, thank you mister Asterer

495
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: for catching balls and weather like that. But I'm a

496
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: spoiled fan, you know so my expectations are always through

497
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: the roof. But I think that this coach as a

498
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: process that can ba be believed, and if not this year,

499
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: for the future. It just gets a lot of hope

500
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: in the city. End. Let's Bills and ground the Eagles.

501
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: There you go, all right? I kind of agree with you, David.

502
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: And it's interesting too. He brings up the fact that

503
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: Josh has the top passerating the league and in passes

504
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: nineteen yards are under. We had a Twitter pool in

505
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the off season about what, you know, what would it

506
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: be a great and intermediate passing was one of the choices. Yeah,

507
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: and I don't even I couldn't you know, I don't

508
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: even do we keep tracking the Twitter pool, go back

509
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 1: and look at that. Look at that percentage of how

510
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: many people thought that's one thing they needed to do

511
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: because we had the deep ball and nothing else last year.

512
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: Right now, this year, we've got the intermediate everything under

513
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: twenty yards and nothing else, right, I mean right, I

514
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: mean we've got a short and intermediate passing game, but

515
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: we don't have the long ball anymore. Um. But everything

516
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: about this offense except for the long ball percentage is

517
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: much better than it was a year ago, and I

518
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: think everybody's kind of happy with where they're at now

519
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: compared to then. Progress. Absolutely. Um, let's go to Steven

520
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: Archard Park. Hello, se Hi, how you doing, guys? Good good? Um.

521
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: I just to answer the question, I just like to

522
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: be balanced. I don't like when we go out and

523
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: just start passing all over the place or even just running,

524
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, just exclusively. I like when they mix it

525
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: up and you know, they kind of keep the defense guessing. Um.

526
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of talk around the league

527
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: about our offense and it's it's not quite there yet.

528
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of nineteen eighty eight a

529
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: little bit, Steve. Um, you know, you won a lot

530
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: of you won a lot of games with field goals

531
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: that year in great defense. Um, we weren't. We weren't

532
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: a nineteen ninety team yet. So that's kind of what

533
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: this team reminds me of. And um, I just think

534
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: it's like, to your point, Murph, if we could start

535
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: hitting some long balls and we could get that point

536
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: told off to twenty four games. I don't think there's

537
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: anybody we can't play with. I agree they're playing with

538
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: everybody already. You want out there, And I was gonna

539
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: ask you, Steve, where you're still there? Yeah? Yeah, What

540
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: do you think about Brian Dabole, the offensive coordinator, about

541
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: his play calling and all of that with mixing it up?

542
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: As you said, Well, there's times where you're watching the

543
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: game and you're scratching your head and you get a

544
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: little frustrated. Um, but a lot of it, you know,

545
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: when I sit back, I get frustrated sometimes. But really

546
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: a lot of his execution. We have a penalty that's

547
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: set back or a purthrow or an overthrow or a

548
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: drop ball. So I can't blame that on him, right. Well,

549
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just waiting for the offense to be

550
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: more consistent and that way, you know, if we can

551
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: get there, we are going to be a force to

552
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: be reckoned with no doubt. Yeah, I agree with you,

553
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 1: particularly with the way the defense is playing. You're right,

554
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Steve. He's he's right. I mean

555
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: that we're we're kind of focus on it, and that's

556
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: where our Twitter poll focuses on it, because the one

557
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: glaring thing that they're not doing is scoring points. They're

558
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: not scoring a lot of points consistently enough, but they've

559
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: started to do what we said they needed to do

560
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: in the first week three weeks of the season is

561
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: don't turn it over anymore. They're still taking a bad

562
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: penalty now and again, so they'd like to get that

563
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 1: out of there. But as a result of that, you think,

564
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: look back at the last couple of last game anyway,

565
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: you had twenty four points about we thought they needed

566
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: to score on average another two field goals six points

567
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: and they didn't exactly that and they didn't have a turnover.

568
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 1: So it's it'll be fun to see if they can

569
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: keep it going consistently. But this Eagles team is going

570
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: to be a bigger test. We got a lot to

571
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: talk about today and a lot of good guests. Let

600
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: know you spend some time in New England and we've

601
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: had this this ongoing conversation about you know, how good,

602
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: how well they're playing, how well they played over there.

603
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: You're acquainted with Tom and all this stuff. And also

604
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: mister Kraft, Robert Kraft and I have this theory about

605
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: and it's a bit of a story about how it's

606
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: going to end for Tom Brady, and it rarely ends

607
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: well for you know, these legendary players, some of them

608
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: have a real hard time saying goodbye. Do you think

609
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: that's on the horizon for those guys up there. You know,

610
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's it just it seems like it's been, uh,

611
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, years and years that the question has been

612
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: how long's Tom gonna play him? And uh and how's

613
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: that whole thing going to end? But then they just

614
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: kind of keep going. Um in terms of how it

615
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: ends for him, I thought he was pretty candid an

616
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: interview he did this week where he just said he

617
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: said he doesn't know, you know, he didn't know, Uh,

618
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't know, um, you know, when he's gonna be

619
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: done with it, when he's gonna be ready to hang

620
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: it out. So I don't know the answer either, you know,

621
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: but I'm certain that that Tom's you know, thoughtful enough

622
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: guy that I'm sure sure they'll he'll have a plan

623
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: when that time comes. So you're headed back to Buffalo

624
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: and it's the first time in a long time you've

625
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: been back. But you still have you know, you still

626
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: left a little bit of a legacy here. He had

627
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: a four hundred and sixty three yard passing day in

628
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: an overtime win against Minnesota. Do you have any recollection

629
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: about that record setting day? Uh? Yeah, it didn't start

630
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: out very well, but it's what I remember, and then

631
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: we ended up checking it around the field whole uh

632
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: whole second half, got a overtime and then UH and

633
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: then Peerless Price um you know, caught this one and

634
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: took it to the house uh and ended it in

635
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: overtime without having to kick field goal. Very nice. I

636
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: think that one of the one of the one of

637
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: the very few records I have that still stands, I

638
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: think anyway, is UH overtime touchdown passes, which I think

639
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: it'll probably go down now because now there's there's like

640
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: an incentive to try and win the game with a

641
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: touchdown rather than just kick field goals. But I thought

642
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: that one had a chance though, because everybody would just

643
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: kick field goals and not tried for touchdowns in the

644
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: in overtime around the line. With Drew Bledsoe making his

645
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: way back to Buffalo for this weekend's game the Bills

646
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: and the Eagles, did I think back to that trade

647
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: right around Draft Day, I guess two thousand and two,

648
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: when the Bills acquired you from New England. What were

649
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts back then? Were you shocked that the Patriots

650
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: made that deal and and coming to Buffalo? What did

651
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: you think? And they had a huge reception for you,

652
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: obviously in the parking lot here. Yeah. Yeah, I was surprised,

653
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: quite honestly that that that happened. Um, But uh, and

654
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: then you know, I mean, it's a story that you

655
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: guys know so well from so many um guys that

656
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: have come to to Buffalo. Your perception from the outside

657
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: of what it's like playing for the Buffalo Bills versus

658
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: what it's actually like are pretty darn different. Um. You know,

659
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: I had an amazing experience playing there in Buffalo. Wish

660
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: it could have gotten much much longer, and I wish

661
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,719
Speaker 1: we could have had more success, But man, we had

662
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: a great time playing there. Uh love being a part

663
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: of that organization and uh and even more so, I

664
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: love being a part of that community. Who's just really

665
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: a fun place to play, great fans, and uh, it was,

666
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: it was, It was fantastic. Now you're coming back this

667
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: weekend as a Bill's legend to come back and and

668
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: watch the Bills play the Eagles. How I know your

669
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: your neck deep in wine now these days? Do you

670
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: do you keep track of what happens and about this game?

671
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: You're coming to be a part of the Philadelphia Eagles

672
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: at the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, you know, I'm I'm a

673
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: football fan, you know, I mean I I that's never changed. Man.

674
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: But uh, and I have said this in the past,

675
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: and this is this is true without you know, making

676
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: anybody angry and New England or any of that stuff. Man,

677
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: if if the Bills go on and actually win a

678
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I'll probably paint my face and maybe the

679
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: jump on the table or something. I just the the

680
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: organization and the fans out there, they just they deserve

681
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: a championship. And so to see see the Bills playing

682
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: as well as they are is really exciting. So it'll

683
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun to be there. Uh. You know,

684
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles were banged up. They're gonna have their handsful.

685
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 1: It's a hard defensive score against when you especially when

686
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: you come into Orchard Park. So I'm excited to be

687
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: there for it. I know it'll be rocking. The atmosphere

688
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: in the stadium here in Orchard Park has not changed

689
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: much since you were here, Drew. What's what's it like?

690
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: And I was that compared to all the venues in

691
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: the NFL in terms of difficulty for an opponent to

692
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: play in. Yeah, uh, you know, while I was an

693
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: opponent there for nine years before I got to be

694
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: on the home team. As an opponent, man, it was tough.

695
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean it was really a tough place to play.

696
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: I always really enjoyed it. The fans were passionate and

697
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: uh and loud and you know, say things that were

698
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: particularly nice sometimes you're coming up the tunnel. H. But

699
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: as a as a home player, uh, man, it was fantastic. Um.

700
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: I still remember clearly that first Wednesday morning before my

701
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: first home opener, uh, driving in on Wednesday morning early

702
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,719
Speaker 1: and I came in and asked the equipment guys say, hey,

703
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: what do you What's what's going on? Is there in

704
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: our v show? What is this? You know? Those people

705
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: are tailgatting. They start on Tuesday at tailgate until Sunday,

706
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: which that that doesn't that doesn't happen very many other

707
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: places in the in the NFL at least, And I know, um,

708
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: but it was it was a great home environment. Loved it. Um.

709
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: You know, in New England, they've they've been I've been

710
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: back there, you know for a handful of games. They've

711
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: gotten awfully spoiled out there. It's just not that lout

712
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: of place to play anymore. When I'm I'm anticipating that

713
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: Orchard Park is is the opposite, that they're still just

714
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: rocking and rolling. At one point, yere you were the

715
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: number one overall pick of the Patriots in nineteen ninety three,

716
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: And I just had this statistic in front of me.

717
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: Eighty seven of the one hundred and six games in

718
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: the National Football League had a quarterback. It was under

719
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: twenty six years old. I mean, it's most in his

720
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: NFL history. It's a huge youth movement in quarterbacks around

721
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: the league. Now, you had to come in the old

722
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: fashioned way, I mean you were, I mean you had

723
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: to learn it on the fly, and that you know

724
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: that the offenses weren't geared and the rules weren't geared

725
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: like they are now to protect the quarterback and to

726
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, get the ball out, the quick release passing

727
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff. You know, is this surprised

728
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: you to see how many young players are now coming

729
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: in and having success so quickly. Well, it's a great

730
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: time to be playing quarterback and great time to be

731
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: playing receiver. Quite honestly, you know, you uh, you can't

732
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: hit the quarterbacks, can't touch the receivers. Um you know,

733
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: I've actually even heard from you know, a couple of

734
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: friends that are that are deep into football. It's changed

735
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: the way that the game has played from an offensive

736
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: standpoint where I mean, you remember the rule for a

737
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: receiver was you don't run through zones. You know, you

738
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: run through zones, you're gonna get your head knocked off.

739
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: Now guys just run right through zones because they can't

740
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: get hit. So, uh, it's a it's a it's a

741
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: good thing for the game. I'm really happy they're doing it.

742
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm just a little bit jealous of quarterbacks get to

743
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: play now and don't have to get drilled in the

744
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: back by the likes of Bruce Smith. But in terms

745
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: of how well these young guys are playing, you know,

746
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: there are a couple of things that I would point to.

747
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: Number one, it's, you know, playing quarterback like anything else

748
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: you want to be proficient at, it's just about reps.

749
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: It's about experience, and these guys are getting more and

750
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: more reps at a younger and younger age, playing seven

751
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: on seven, throwing the ball a lot more in college,

752
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: and so I think they're they're used to seeing the

753
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: pictures more often than uh, you know, we did back

754
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: in our day, and so I think that's part of it.

755
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: M but sure it's fun to watch man. Some of

756
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: these kids coming in there are really fun to watch,

757
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: and I've always loved watching good quarterbacks play. That's why

758
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: it was so cool for me to come to Buffalo

759
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: and play against Jim Kelly, with one of my heroes forever.

760
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, So when I first broke into the league,

761
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: it was just really really cool to be able to

762
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: to be one of those young guys, at least initially,

763
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: but also get to play against my heroes was pretty awesome.

764
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: You get to see Buffalo young quarterback Josh Allen making

765
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: his eighteenth NFL start on Sunday. Have you seen much

766
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: of him? And any thoughts on h Well, he's not

767
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: just him, but the Bills haven't hit a lot of

768
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: deep passes with Josh so far this year. Um, talk

769
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: about those two things you begin your impression to Josh

770
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: Adam and about how hard it is to make that

771
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: low percentage pass down feeld Yeah, you know, um, well

772
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: number one, I really liked the kid. I really like

773
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: what they're doing with him too. They're playing to his strength,

774
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: They're letting him use his athleticism and run around and

775
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: make some plays with his legs as well as as

776
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: throwing the rock downfield. Um. But you know, I think

777
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: you know a lot of it. You know, realize it

778
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: is just as eighteenth start. Um. You know you go

779
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: back and uh and look at um. You know, most

780
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks when they break in. I mean, shoot, you

781
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: know the first year when when Tommy came in, when

782
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: I got hurt, Um, it wasn't it wasn't like he

783
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: was throwing the ball, you know, forty yards downfield every

784
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: step and h and complete a bunch of long passes.

785
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: There was a lot of short stuff to kind of

786
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: get his feet wet and get him going. But you know, Josh,

787
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: he has huge arm talent, and so there's no doubt

788
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: that there's the ability to get the ball downfield. It's

789
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: just a progression that they got to go through. Um

790
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: and uh and those plays will start to hit in

791
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: the meantime, though, having the best defense in the league

792
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: is a pretty comforting thing as a quarterback, and that's

793
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: helping him out a lot. Yeah, what I want to

794
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: get your thoughts that you played in the league for

795
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: a ton of years and you've seen the evolution of it.

796
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: What do you think is on the horizon for offenses

797
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean, now we see these guys

798
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: running the quick screens and the quick release what you know,

799
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: to the wide out right at the line of scrimmage.

800
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: You see the the flash sweeps, you know, the jet

801
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: sweep kind of stuff. We see they're stretching the field

802
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: right at the line of scrimmage as well as vertically.

803
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: What do you think the next step is for NFL

804
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: offenses and where do you think it's headed. Well, you know,

805
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool. So you're seeing a college influence

806
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: drives up into the NFL, where I think in the

807
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: past a lot of times the ideas it started in

808
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: the NFL and percolated down to college and then even

809
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: down to high school. I think now you're seeing the

810
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: opposite of to some of these college offenses with you know,

811
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: some zone reads now aren't there aren't as many quarterbacks

812
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: pulling the ball and running with it as there would

813
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: be in college because they just don't want him to

814
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: get hurt. But you watch it, you're seeing zone read

815
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: and then and then throwing off of the zone read.

816
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: So the rpo um type stuff that came out of college,

817
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: which is uh, you know, it's fun to see some

818
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: innovative stuff, you know, the the the the quick screens.

819
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, generally the screen game like that is is

820
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: a little more difficult in the pros than it is

821
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: in college because the lineman can't go downfield until the

822
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: ball's caught. Um. But I think by going horizontally with

823
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: those screens, they're allowing the linemen to get out into

824
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: the screen, um without having to be downfield. UM. In

825
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: terms of what the next step is, and I don't know,

826
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: I mean, there's only so much stuff he can do.

827
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of a copycat league. But I will say

828
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: that that I'm a big fan of what I've seen

829
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: from Frank Wright, both when he was in Philly and

830
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: now that he's in UM an Indie. Really like what

831
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: he's doing scheme wise. Seems like he's given his guys

832
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: a pretty significant advantage a lot of the time. He Drew,

833
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 1: tell us what you're up to these days? You mentioned

834
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: selling more wine to pay for cottage tuitions and the

835
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: double back wineries. What a dozen years old? Now? Right?

836
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: You're you're you're doing well in the wine business outwest, right, Yeah, man,

00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: got it's uh, no, it's been. It's been a ton

839
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: of fun. Man, starting a business in my hometown. I

840
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: grew up in Walla, Walla, went back there, thankfully, my

Speaker 1: little hometown producing some of the best wine grapes in

842
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: the world. So we're able to go back and capitalize

843
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: on that. And uh and now I get to travel

844
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,640

Speaker 1: goes with me some of the time and we uh,

846
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty fun if you've got to call it work. Um,

847
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty fun work um, traveling around selling wine and uh,

848
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the night, getting to sit down

849
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: on a glass of red wine in your hand doesn't

850
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: doesn't suck. So it's been. It's been a lot of fun.

851
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: Been a huge education. You know. I came back, came

852
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: into business as a complete and utter rookie. Uh. It

853
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: was like starting all over again and had to learn

854
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: and scratch my way up. But thankfully it's been successful.

855
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,439

Speaker 1: off to practice field right now in the other room,

00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: and the ad Pro Sports Training Center says it's going

875
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: to be a game time decision on weather linebacker Matt

876
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: Milano might play on Sunday. Milano's did not play last week,

877
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: and he got hurt in the Tennessee game a couple

878
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He's had the hamstring issue and limited

879
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: all week. Game time decision for him at a game

880
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: time decision for wide receiver Duke Williams with his shoulder,

881
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: he's been limited all week as well. Our Twitter poll today,

882
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: what's the best way for the Bill's offense to move

883
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: the ball Sunday against the Eagles? Do you air it out?

884
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: Because of how tough it's been for the Eagles to

885
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: cover the pass? Do you Ron Gore and Singletary? The

886
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: Eagles front seven banged upper? Is there something else? Let us?

887
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: Don't you think? Eight fifty toll free one eight eight

888
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty yes, sir, And we

889
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: said the Twitter poll has been going on in the

890
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: thing that we've been dealing with the last few weeks,

891
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: particularly in with the Bills only averaging twenty points a game,

892
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: has been everybody wants to trade for this wide receiver

893
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: like aj Green all that, and it just came out

894
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: last night that the Jets are looking to trade their

895
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: ride receiver Robbie Anderson. Who that number eleven for the

896
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: Buffalo or for the new York Jets. I thought he's

897
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: a he's a pretty good player for this. He's kind

898
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: of a t Y Hilton looking wide receiver, right, a

899
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: little long and slippery kind of a guy really fast,

900
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see what their rationale is

901
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: for that. Why are they trading him? Um, they're looking

902
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: at Miami and seeing their plans and maybe we should

903
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: do the same. I don't know. If the Jets can't

904
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: do that, why not? Their seasons going down the tubes

905
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. They're circling the drain. They can't do that.

906
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: That is a bad that would be said one. Why

907
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: would be such a jetsy thing to do? After they

908
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: went out and spend all the money for Levians, got

909
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: their quarterback in Darnald C. J. Mosley's in the house,

910
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do those guys? Would that would say?

911
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: That would be Let me just tell you that as

912
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: a player, that would feel like such a betrayal. Yeah,

913
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: they would most Oh my gosh, they that that would

914
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: go up in flames. It would get ugly fast if

915
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: they started doing that. There's got to be a different

916
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: reason they're trade pretty ugly. They're already. It wasn't just

917
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: because Sam got Mono. I know, may I know, I don't.

918
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: I think their coaches not up to the job. But

919
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: that's just well, that's one thing Kevin and Hamberg got

920
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: on the line with us. Hello, Kevin, go ahead, you're

921
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: on the air. Sure true. Things I want to say

922
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: is I'm not sure I'm so much worried about the

923
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: whole team and the Eagles that I am a certain

924
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: side of the ball because they just got him humiliated

925
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: twice in a row, especially by a division enemy, and

926
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to take their feelings out on somebody,

927
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: and I'm sure above to be the Bills. And the

928
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: other thing, guys, I want to stay real fast is

929
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 1: that Carson Wentz has been hearing rumors that they picked

930
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: the wrong guy to trade. They should have kept the

931
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: Eagle guy who won the Super Bowl, and he's gonna

932
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: want to prove something that he should have been the

933
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: one that Kepta and let the other guy go. Yeah,

934
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: here Kevin. And it's funny that they're talking about the

935
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: Somebody reported that there's some sentiment that maybe they should

936
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: have kept Nick Foles and and traded away Carson Wentz.

937
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: Lentz was a you know, early, early, early first round pick.

938
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: That's kind of silly, But the concept of being angry

939
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: and playing better, it's funny. Uh. Doug Peterson mentioned that,

940
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: I think in his Wednesday news conference and one of

941
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 1: his veterans, a really good veteran, Jason Kelsey the center,

942
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: was asked about it. You played better if you're angry,

943
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 1: and he flatly said, no, that's not true. You don't

944
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, and you would know, right, And being angry

945
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: what does that do for you? I don't know. Yeah,

946
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: it takes you to a place where maybe play some

947
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: undisciplined football and you know, it's it's all about execution

948
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: and doing the right thing. Now, some guys, some guys

949
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: thrive on that. I mean, it's it's an individual thing.

950
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: And I don't think collectively you can make that blanket

951
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: statement they're gonna be played better. But a lot of guys,

952
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: maybe if you're one of those teams where the chemistry

953
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: on your team is you got a bunch of guys

954
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: like that to play better when they're angry. Yeah, okay,

955
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: But obviously there's some guys who don't think that's true,

956
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: and there are guys who don't respond to that. They

957
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: got they gotta play in a different place in their mind.

958
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: Here's a call from Mark in North Carolina. Hello Mark, Hi, guys,

959
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: A worry Okay, Yeah. Everybody talks about the offense, the

960
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: turnovers and shooting ourselves in a foot with the penalties,

961
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: and I agree with that completely. One thing watching the

962
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: game that really frustrates me on offense so far as

963
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: the majority of the times weren't passing situations. We have

964
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: an empty backfield and we're totally eliminating a threat of

965
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: play action pass. And I think if we have somebody

966
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: in the backfield and run play action pass, it's going

967
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: to open everything up for us, especially in this weather

968
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: that right now. I mean, our offensive line is run

969
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: block and fantastic, but Josh still gets a lot of

970
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: pressure on passing situations because there's no threat of play

971
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: action pass. And I think if we did it more,

972
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: it would really helped. Using point interesting point. I mean,

973
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: they do throw it enough this year, right, fifty five

974
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: percent passing, forty five percent running, But maybe play actual help.

975
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: You gotta run the ball well, which they normally do it. Again,

976
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: Yet I don't I don't know that play action has

977
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: been a big part of what they're doing. I get

978
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: I see it. I'm trying to think back of some plays,

979
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: and you're right, I don't. I don't remember too many

980
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: play action plays. Maybe it's not something that Josh does well.

981
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: They stay away from it for that reason, or maybe

982
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: it's something that the offensive line isn't comfortable with or

983
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: or whatever. Maybe there's a different reason other than the

984
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: fact that they just don't don't do it enough. I

985
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying, But if you don't see something,

986
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: it's probably because they're not comfortable running it for one

987
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: reason or another, either the offensive line, neither quarterback, running backs, whatever,

988
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: or maybe the matchup of the defense is not what

989
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: they like. But you're right, when they go empty, you

990
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: don't have a play action pass, uh, you know option

991
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: in your in your playbook. So that's that's a good

992
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: observation by you. Market. I don't know why they haven't

993
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: run it or don't run it enough, or what situations

994
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: they do and those situations aren't coming up enough or whatever,

995
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. I don't see play action a

996
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 1: lot in our offense. Although I'm I could be completely

997
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: wrong because I'm I've not been looking for it. They

998
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: have some of it, no question, because we've seen some

999
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: naked boots and some stuff like that from Josh. But yeah,

1000
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: that's an interesting it's an interesting take. Maybe it would

1001
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: help them. We'll get some thoughts on the Buffalo Bill's

1002
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: offense needs to be done. In our next segment, Great

1059
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,640

Speaker 1: for ESPN, so you'll see him. We felt like the

1063
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: defense met it kind of got hit in the mouth

1064
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: by the Miami offense this past week. It seemed like

1065
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: Miami moved the football. With Ryan Fitzpatrick, did you see

1066
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 1: anything different from the Bill's defense as far as matching

1067
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: up with Miami's offense. No, I didn't think it was

1068
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: their best performance. I'm sure coach McDermott would say the

1069
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: same thing. You know, it was interesting to me because

1070
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm a big Matt Milano fan and I don't know

1071
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: what his status is, but obviously he did not play,

1072
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: so I'm curious, you know, is he going to play

1073
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: this week? It's a game time decision, okay, because I

1074
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 1: think he's a really important piece. I guarantee that offensive

1075
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: coaches when they study the Bills d notice him and

1076
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: are well aware of him. And I think their defense

1077
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: was a little different obviously without him and what they

1078
00:50:54,120 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: chose to do with both Alexander's but I think hopefully

1079
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: he can go because he's an important part of it.

1080
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, this was not their best performance, but it's

1081
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: still such a good defense. I mean, the way, you know,

1082
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: I guess the way i'd probably describe their defense for

1083
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: the most part, I'd say it's an execution defense. They

1084
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: almost exclusively match up to offensive personnel with their baser nickel.

1085
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: They play higher percentage zone than man. They play a

1086
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: lot of Cover three, a lot of Cover four. Now

1087
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: they will play man everybody does, but I think they're

1088
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: more zone based. Interesting. I was thinking about the Buffalo

1089
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: defense this morning, Greg, and I'm wondering with Milano and

1090
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: with Tremaine Edmonds, if the Bills are sort of in

1091
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: the in the midst of kind of a change in

1092
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: the NFL where teams don't necessarily need a thumper in

1093
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 1: the in the middle of linebacker. They need an athletes

1094
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: who can run and cover, And the Bills have a

1095
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: couple of pretty good guys, and that regarded Milano and

1096
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds. I think and I think that's fair, murf.

1097
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: I think that speed has become a more important trait

1098
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: and attribute for linebackers in today's NFL. Don't forget, teams

1099
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: play an awful lot of nickel. The Bills are an

1100
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: almost exclusive nickel defense when they go to their sub

1101
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't believe they play any dime with six defensive backs.

1102
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: So you need two linebackers that can run and that

1103
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: can move. Very few teams line up. You know, linebackers

1104
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: in today's NFL are not really taking on ISO lead blocks,

1105
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: although I must admit it's funny. I just said that

1106
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: because I'm noticing that more fullbacks are being used by

1107
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 1: some teams in the league. But for the most part,

1108
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: that's not the way the game goes. More teams play

1109
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: at of eleven perconnel with three wide receivers. Well, how

1110
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: do you think the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna see the

1111
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: Bills defense? And how are they going to match up?

1112
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: Particularly if somebody like Deshaun Watson is or isn't in

1113
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 1: on the team. I mean that changes everything, does it not? Well,

1114
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles are one of the slowest offenses in the NFL.

1115
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: Without DeShawn Jackson, they have no speed whatsoever. It's a

1116
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: very condense, restricted, limited offense. They're not quite good enough

1117
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: to hound the football as the foundation of their offense

1118
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: like some teams are. Some teams, you know, when they

1119
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: get into a little bit of a rut, let's say,

1120
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, they can turn around and hand it

1121
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: to a great back. The Eagles are not in that situation,

1122
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: so they're just lacking speed. It's they're not a difficult

1123
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: offense in my view to play against because of that.

1124
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: You know, I watched Eagles a lot this week. Greg,

1125
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: look as the Bills get set to play this game,

1126
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: and I guess I kind of forgot what a live

1127
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: arm Carson Wentz has, what a strong army has. And

1128
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: he's a pretty good athlete too. I know the results

1129
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: have not been there this year, but he's got the skills.

1130
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: He's got the skill set to do some damage if

1131
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: things come together for him, doesn't he And that and

1132
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: that's the wild card because Wentz and I believe it

1133
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,439
Speaker 1: from tape study and I've talked to people, Wentz has

1134
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 1: the chance to be special right now. They're absolutely lacking

1135
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: in the kinds of weapons that I think he likes

1136
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: because Wentz. Wentz has a certain DNA to his game.

1137
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: He wants to be aggressive, he wants to push the

1138
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: ball down the field. They can't really do that with

1139
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: the players they're putting out there now. He's not kind

1140
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: of a pepper completion guy, you know, He's not, hey,

1141
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: let's throw every ball four or five yards. You know,

1142
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 1: he's not a Tom Brady in terms of mentality or

1143
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. And they simply don't have the weapons that

1144
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: sort of fit his mindset. And at times he'll hold

1145
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 1: the ball a little too long because he wants to

1146
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: push it down the field. So it's interesting. I think

1147
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: the offense is very up and down now, but they

1148
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,399
Speaker 1: just don't have speed on the edge at all. Well,

1149
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: they are they making some progress with Zach Ertz and

1150
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, I mean, can they do it with the

1151
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: tight ends they have? Those guys seem to be pretty gifted. Well,

1152
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: they're good players, but there are certain kinds of players.

1153
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: You know. Ertz is a very very good receiver, and

1154
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: he works the short intermediate areas. He's not a run

1155
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 1: after catch guy, so Ertz is not a Travis Kelsey.

1156
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: He's not a George Kittle. He's not that kind of

1157
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: tight end. He's a possession tight end who works really

1158
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: effectively and of the six to twelve yard area now

1159
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: once in a while, depending on a play call. Sure

1160
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: he can catch a ball in eighteen or nineteen yards,

1161
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: but he's not really an explosive athletic tight end in

1162
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: that sense. Goddard, I think, can work more toward that,

1163
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: but he's in his I believe it's only a second year,

1164
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: and you know he's been in and out of the

1165
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: lineup at times. They play a lot of snaps of

1166
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: twelve personnel with two tight ends simply because I believe

1167
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: they think that's their best personnel package with the wide receivers.

1168
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 1: They presently have Greg Cosal, executive producer analyst NFL matchup

1169
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,919
Speaker 1: on ESPN on the line with us flip it around

1170
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: a little bit and talk about Buffalo's offense against the

1171
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: Eagles defense, and Greg, I'm still haunted by the last

1172
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: time these two teams played, about four years ago in Philadelphia.

1173
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox absolutely eight to Bill's offensive lines lunch that day,

1174
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: and he's still capable of that isn't He's still the

1175
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: dominant guy up front for them, isn't he? He hasn't

1176
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: been this year, and you know he's coming off a

1177
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: foot injury. I don't know if that's bothering them. But look,

1178
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: every year, as you guys know, you know Steve, you

1179
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: played Murphy, You've been doing this a long time. Every

1180
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: year is a different year. And this particular season, as

1181
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 1: we stand now and entering Week eight or the NFL season,

1182
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: the Eagles do not have a very good pass rush

1183
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: and they can't cover. They've really struggled at corner. Now

1184
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: they've got Jalen Mills back last week, they view him

1185
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: as an absolute starting right corner. I don't know what

1186
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: Ronald Darby's status is. They view him as their starting

1187
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: left corner. So it's possible both those guys are on

1188
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: the outside this week, which improves the Eagle corner position.

1189
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: But through seven games, the Eagles have really struggled to

1190
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: cover and it's been a real issue, particularly since they've

1191
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 1: not been able to generate any kind of consistent pass rush.

1192
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: With they're down four, which is what Jim Schwartz wants

1193
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: to do. I guess we're trying to figure out if

1194
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: the Bills have the capability to exploit that. With Buffalo's

1195
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: uneven passing attacks so far, what do you think? And

1196
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: I think uneven's a good word. They're certainly capable of exploit.

1197
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: The Bills like to throw the ball down the field.

1198
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, one of their favorite route concepts

1199
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: is that double post crosser. We've seen that all the year.

1200
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: We saw Josh Allen hit Duke Williams last week on

1201
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: the play in which I believe Williams got hurt on

1202
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: that play. You know, that's a favorite route concept that

1203
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: they like to run. It's a vertical route concept. You know.

1204
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: I think they do have the weapons to exploit it.

1205
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: As I said, I guess it comes down to if

1206
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: Ronald Darby will be back in the left corner. How

1207
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: they feel about it when all said and done. And

1208
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: I think you guys would agree that the Bills want

1209
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: to start their offense by running the football. One of

1210
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: the things I noticed, and I just I kind of

1211
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: watched the condensed version of games, or the broadcast version

1212
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: of these games. I don't dig into the game film

1213
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: like you, dude. I was asking I get the idea

1214
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: or the impression by watching the game live and in

1215
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: the condensed version that Philly's not that far away that

1216
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they were a world championship two years ago.

1217
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: But they are hurt, They're injured right now. They've got

1218
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: a couple of key guys out. Is it the injuries

1219
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: that have made them inconsistent and unable to do the

1220
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: things they want to do, or is it something you

1221
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: know deeper than that that is keeping them from being

1222
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: the team they once were just two years ago. You know,

1223
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't get into this because I do not know,

1224
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: and so I don't speak about it. I can only

1225
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: tell you what a lot of reports are coming out

1226
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: of Philly right now that there's dissension in the ranks.

1227
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: Who knows, but I just watching the tape. I think

1228
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: right now they're missing three things that prevent you from

1229
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: being consistent week to week. Number one, lack of speed

1230
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: on offense. Number two, inability to generate any kind of

1231
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: consistent pass rush pressure where they're down four, and number

1232
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: three the inability to cover on the edge. Those three

1233
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: things make it difficult for them. And the first thing,

1234
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: the lack of speed on offense, makes it such that

1235
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of plays for them to work

1236
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: down the field and score. And you guys both know

1237
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: in today's NFL that's a tough deal. If you have

1238
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: to go twelve thirteen, fourteen plays consistently to score, that's hard.

1239
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: Great Coase Well, a senior producer NFL Films. Before we

1240
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: get the rest of the NFL schedule, I want to

1241
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: ask you about one player, Josh Gordon, who you know

1242
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: now on IR, could be free to sign somewhere, could

1243
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: go through the waiver process in a couple of days.

1244
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: How much interest should there be in Josh Gordon? How

1245
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: much do you think there will be? What's he got left? Basically,

1246
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't think there'll be a ton given his background

1247
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 1: and given the fact that I don't think he was

1248
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: the same player this year that he's been in his prime.

1249
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: So my guess is there won't be a ton of

1250
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: interest in him. But you know, you never know. I mean,

1251
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm just giving it. I'm basing that on my film

1252
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: study that I don't think he was quite the player

1253
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: he was. There are reports too that he wasn't as

1254
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: injured as putting him on IR suggests. So you know,

1255
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that the Patriots feel like they

1256
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: might want to move on from him, and I don't

1257
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: think he gave them exactly what maybe they had hoped,

1258
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: and I think the film bears that out quite honestly. Well,

1259
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: it certainly seems that way, is that they traded for

1260
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu and they'll give their given their history. I

1261
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: think the Patriots have done a really nice job of

1262
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: maybe not fully integrating a new player like sinu In,

1263
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: but certainly giving him a menu of maybe a half

1264
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: a dozen plays to get him some reps on the

1265
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: field this week and get some production out of him.

1266
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots do that as well as anyone,

1267
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: and I think some news that kind of player too. Steve,

1268
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: he's smart. He can line up inside now outside. When

1269
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: you play for the Patriots in their past game, you

1270
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: have to understand leverage of defenders, how to work off

1271
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: that leverage after the ball snapped, and I think Sew

1272
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: has done this for quite a while and he's a

1273
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: very smart guy. Patriots home against Cleveland four twenty five

1274
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon and talk about matchups. Do we just

1275
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: look for Stephan Gilmore to lock himself onto Odell Beckham?

1276
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Is that how New England will play it? You think

1277
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: Greg that'll be fascinating, you know. The one thing, and

1278
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: we did a deep dive on New England's defense in

1279
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: the Matchup Show this week. We did an entire section

1280
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: because I know people say, well, they haven't played anybody,

1281
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: but the numbers are pretty historic and the tape tells

1282
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: you how well they're playing. But Gilmore could do that.

1283
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: They're a high percentage man to man defense, as you

1284
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: guys know, but they also move people around. I mean,

1285
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: I've seen games where they'll put j. C. Jackson on

1286
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: the best receiver, Jason mccordy will line up on tight ends.

1287
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: They're very multiple in their man to man matchups in

1288
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: the secondary. So you know, sure, does it seem to

1289
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: make sense that Gilmore might be on Beckham? Maybe, But also,

1290
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: you know Bill, he likes to double at times, depending

1291
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: on situations. He certainly likes to double in the red zone.

1292
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if that's the way it'll play out.

1293
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I don't ask you about a couple of things around

1294
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: the league. The Chiefs are going to continue with or

1295
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: without Patrick Mahomes are gonna go into Green Bay. That

1296
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be an absolutely phenomenal

1297
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: matchup between the Packers and the Chiefs. Now with the

1298
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: Holmes injury keeping him on the sidelines, the Chiefs still

1299
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: look well, they finished the game with their backup quarterback.

1300
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: But this is going to leave a big hole in

1301
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: their offense, no question, correct. Although I think Steve blame me,

1302
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's not leaving a hole. That's not

1303
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: my point. My point is this that Andy Reid will

1304
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: not change his eye offense in terms of the concepts

1305
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: in the passing game. Now, they won't be executed. I'm

1306
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: sure at the same level. More certainly does not have

1307
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: the improvisational ability that Mahomes had, so that's not going

1308
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: to happen. Although More does have movement ability, but he's

1309
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: certainly not Patrick Mahomes. But Andy Reid's history with a

1310
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks going back to all his years in

1311
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Philly is he does not change his offensive approach based

1312
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. He will run his concepts. And we

1313
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: just saw Tyreek Hills touchdown that More through that was

1314
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: a very similar route concept to a Sammy Watkins touchdown

1315
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: Week one. So he runs his offense and those route

1316
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: concepts will not be a whole lot different. I was

1317
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna was gonna move around. I was gonna ask about

1318
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: an one more thing. There's Teddy Bridgewater has been fantastic

1319
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: for New Orleans and he came back after a catastrophic

1320
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: knee injury. Has not We hadn't seen him for a

1321
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: long time, and yet he gets plugged into New Orleans

1322
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: and seems to be what everybody hoped he'd be when

1323
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: he was drafted by the Vikings. Is he that good

1324
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: is New Orleans? That good is Teddy reaping the benefits

1325
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: of being with Sean uh Peyton and New Orleans? I mean,

1326
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: how does that work down there and what happens from

1327
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: here going forward? I mean, Teddy Bridgeward is going to

1328
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: be a hot commodity if they don't hang on to him. Um.

1329
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: You know it's funny you say that because we've discussed

1330
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: this in the matchup room. We've watched the tape obviously

1331
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: of his five I think it's five starts, whatever it is. Um,

1332
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: he's been solid. He's not been fantastic, he's been He's

1333
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: an orchestrator, he's a distributor. Um. They have a really

1334
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: good defense, which does not get talked about because every

1335
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: the focus is always on Sean Payton. And what a

1336
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: great job he does. And he's phenomenal. You know, I know, Sean,

1337
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: he's as good as there is in the league. Um.

1338
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I think Teddy has been been solid, uh not great. Um.

1339
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,439
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he can't play and start in the league.

1340
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: But I think he's a guy that needs other pieces.

1341
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 1: As I said, their defense has been tremendous and overlooked.

1342
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: They have a consistent run game. So he's an orchestrator,

1343
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: a distributor, and an executor. And he doesn't turn the

1344
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: ball over, which is critical. But you know, I don't

1345
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: think that Teddy is the kind of quarterback you look

1346
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: at and say, hey, he's the guy without question and

1347
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,959
Speaker 1: we need him. Greg, I want to ask you about

1348
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: the Saints opponents, Arizona Cardinals, winners of three in a row.

1349
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: What are you've seen from Kyler Murray and are we

1350
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: seeing the sort of maybe novel approach the offensive many

1351
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: expected when Kyler Murray got teamed up with Cliff Kingsbury.

1352
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: There no In fact, over the course of the season,

1353
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: what you've seen is Cliff Kingsbury sort of change up.

1354
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: He started the season playing a high percentage of what

1355
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: we call ten personnel, meaning one back and four wide

1356
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: receivers each and every week that number has dropped meaningfully.

1357
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: So now they line up with a tight end, they

1358
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: line up with two tight ends. They do a lot

1359
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: of the same things that a lot of NFL teams

1360
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: do because it's very hard in this league to run

1361
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: the ball out of four wide receivers. So you know, again,

1362
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm not an air raid expert, so I'm

1363
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: not going to sit here and tell you you know

1364
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing. I'm sure there are a number

1365
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: of route concepts that are viewed as air raid route concepts,

1366
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: but when I watch their TABE, I don't come away

1367
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: saying that is a totally different offense than anything I've

1368
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: ever seen in the league. I got to ask you

1369
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: about Kirk Cousins in the Minnesota Vikings. I got to

1370
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: tell you before I ask you the question. I'm not

1371
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: really a believer that things have been transformed in Minnesota

1372
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they're going to do what

1373
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: they've been doing the last few weeks. Right. I think

1374
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: this is a little bit more of an aberration than

1375
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: it is a meaningful change. Do you agree or what

1376
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: is Kirk Cousins really found himself. No, I wouldn't say.

1377
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's funny because you know, I talk

1378
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: to different people every week, and when you talk every

1379
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 1: day like you guys do, you know, you got to

1380
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: say something. But Kirk Cousins is not a different quarterback

1381
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: today than he was two weeks ago, just like that

1382
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: Prescott is in a different quarterback today than he was

1383
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. I think you have to look at

1384
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: so many variables when you look at why teams play

1385
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: well and don't play well, and why a quarterback plays

1386
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: well and doesn't play well. You know, I think they

1387
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: have a definite identity as to what they want to do.

1388
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: I think when that works, Kirk Cousins looks very very

1389
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: good and Cannon look very very good, and much depends

1390
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: on the nature of the opponent as well. You know,

1391
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago they play the Eagles. The

1392
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Eagles play a lot of his own and they really

1393
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: made a ton of mistakes in the secondary and Kirk

1394
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: Cousins reaped the benefits. You know. So the last night

1395
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: they threw a ton of screens, not difficult throws. So

1396
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,919
Speaker 1: the numbers are there, the production is there, and he's

1397
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: a solid NFL quarterback. But I don't think we're now

1398
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: sitting here saying Kirk Cousins a top five quarterback. That's

1399
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: not what he is. Got one more game I want

1400
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: to pick your brain on Greg and that's four o'clock Sunday,

1401
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: Carolina at San Francisco. A couple of pretty good uses.

1402
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers defense. Are they equal to what

1403
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: we're seeing from Buffalo, New England and some of the

1404
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: other top defenses. Oh yeah, they're front six, let's say

1405
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: front six because of the nickel element, the sub nickel element,

1406
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,959
Speaker 1: I think is the best in the NFL. And they've

1407
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: got two six seven guys inside, They've got Boasted Ford

1408
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: on the outside. They've got Fred Warner and Kwan Alexander,

1409
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: highly athletic linebackers, speed pass rush, they can get to

1410
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback with four I think they're a really really

1411
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: good defense. You know, I don't spend a lot of

1412
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: time with you guys talking stats, but just think about

1413
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: this for a minute. Fifty percent, fifty fifty percent of

1414
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: all offensive possessions against the forty nine Ers have ended

1415
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: in three and out. As a great number. Last week,

1416
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you one last question for me, and

1417
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: it goes back to Buffalo and their red zone offense.

1418
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: What do you see with that? Why are what are

1419
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: your thoughts on how good or how bad or what

1420
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: they do well in their red zone offense? Well? I

1421
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: think what they do well and what they at times

1422
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: try to do is get Josh Allen involved with his movement,

1423
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: whether it's design runs, whether it's rolling out, use his

1424
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: legs as as a factor in attacking and breaking down defenses. Now,

1425
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: you can do that more than what we call the

1426
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: tight red zones to you from the ten yard line

1427
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 1: in you don't normally have him run, you know, quarterback

1428
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 1: power from eighteen yards out, but those kind if you

1429
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: start to get to the high red zone the eleven

1430
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: to twenty yard line and you need to throw the ball,

1431
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: that's where they'll probably struggle a bit until Josh Skain's

1432
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: more experience, because that requires snap decision making, anticipation throws,

1433
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: and precise ball placement, all things he still needs some

1434
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: work on. Trying to get your sense in listening to

1435
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: you what you talk about the Eagles, Greg, what do

1436
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: you anticipate Bills Eagles a tight, low scoring game or

1437
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: the Bills you know considerably better? I would anticipate, you know, again,

1438
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: because of Carson Wentz, who can be special. It's always hard,

1439
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't anticipate, quite honestly, that the Eagles will

1440
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: struggle to score a lot of points. And that's a

1441
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: relative term, you know. I don't know what that means,

1442
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: you know. I think that if Darby and Mills play

1443
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: who are the starting corners for the Eagles, that upgrades

1444
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: their corner position. We could be looking at a tight game.

1445
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: And again, I can't factor in turnovers or special teams plays,

1446
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: so assuming all that's equal, or I wouldn't. I wouldn't

1447
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 1: look at this game as a thirty one twenty four

1448
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 1: kind of game. No, right, I think it's gonna be

1449
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,719
Speaker 1: a good game. And it is featured right the Buffalo

Speaker 1: offense again moving is to air it out Sunday. Eagles

1487

1494
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 1: who just met the media moments ago. Mcdermot's got game

1495
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: time decisions to make on Matt Malana with his hamstring,

1496

1498
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 1: Williams with his shoulder. He was limited in practice again today.

1499

1502
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday, elee quarterback, dangerous offense, dangerous football team. They've

1503
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: played in a lot of you know, primetime games, a

1504
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: lot of big platform games, got a lot of big names,

1505
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: that team, talented roster. When Doug Peterson said the team

1506
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: is is mack angry after last week's loss. How do

1507
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: you prepare for an opponent that's coming in with that

1508
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: kind of fire. Um, you know, we respect every opponent. Um,

1509
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 1: this is a really good football team. When they go

1510
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. Um, coming off a similar situation, they

1511
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: go out to Green Bay and beat Aaron Rodgers and

1512
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay. So that's not easy to do. That's the

1513
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: sound of a good football team. So, um, you know,

1514
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: We respect every team. We focus on when week at

1515
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: a time, and we focus on ourselves improving every week.

1516
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot on Carson Wentz. He started right out of

1517
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: the box, and Wentz is an elite quarterback. I don't

1518
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: know if I'd go that far, but i'll tell you

1519
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: in great ghost health said to two. See if you

1520
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 1: watch Carson Wentz, even in the three and fourth start,

1521
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: you see traits. You know the scouts talking about traits.

1522
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: You see a big, strong arm and enough mobility, and

1523
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, we can launch the ball from from wherever

1524
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: he is on the field, going in any direction. It's

1525
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. And he's got that in him. Hasn't happened

1526
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis this year, but it's enough to

1527
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: get your attention. Like, WHOA, that's an NFL quarterback. He's

1528
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 1: got a strong, accurate arm, and he can move around

1529
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: in the pocket. When he takes his drops, you can tell,

1530
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 1: you know he drops back. He's got a lot of energy,

1531
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: is a real act. You know, he just moves like

1532
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: an athlete, Like he's like he could take off and

1533
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: run off with it. So he's got that about him.

1534
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: I think the one thing and I he is an

1535
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: elite quarterback. He's in his fourth year, he had his

1536
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: best year, and he was an MVP candidate two years

1537
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: ago before he was injured, when he had Frank Reich

1538
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson in his corner. Hammond, I told you

1539
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: this when we were getting ready for the show. I

1540
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 1: think one of the problems he's having now is Frank's

1541
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: not there. Why do you say that. I think some

1542
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: guy like Frank Reich and Doug Peterson to a certain

1543
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: extent too, no question about it. They have a way

1544
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: of handling quarterbacks and getting into their frame of mind

1545
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: and understanding where the quarterback's at in his development or

1546
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: he's at any given moment in a meeting, what he

1547
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: sees in a play, how he communicates. They know what

1548
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 1: he's thinking and what problems that's thinking is going to

1549
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: lead to, and how to get him out of it

1550
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 1: and what to show him to get him to a

1551
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: better place. The quarterback understands the minds, and that's all

1552
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: you know. Once you've got the traits that Josh Allen, Carson,

1553
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: Wentz and all these other guys have to physically stand

1554
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: back there and be a quarterback. It's all about where

1555
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 1: their mind is and what they see and how they

1556
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: see it, and those other quarterback I got, like Frank,

1557
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: look what he's doing with Jacoby Brissette. For goodness sake,

1558
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:35,480
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette. That's what it takes. I think the communication

1559
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: process between coach and player is as big an ingredient

1560
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: to the success of guys like Carson Wentz and Patrick

1561
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: Mahomes as anything. Look, I will I'd stand second to

1562
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 1: no one in my admiration for Frank Raike and what

1563
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: he's done as a coach and as a player and

1564
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: as a man. But people would tell you, well, Doug

1565
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Peterson can do that for Carson Wentz. He might not

1566
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:59,839
Speaker 1: miss Frank Raike as much because Peterson former backup quarterback

1567
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,719
Speaker 1: Frank Right has moved through the ranks as a coach

1568
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: and when they when he had his good year, when

1569
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 1: they had their Super Bowl run with Nick Foles, you know,

1570
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 1: winning in a couple of years ago, Peterson got most

1571
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 1: of the credit there, regardless of whether it was warranted

1572
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 1: or not. Doug Peterson was viewed as the quarterback guy

1573
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:18,600
Speaker 1: there and rightfully, so I don't have a problem with that.

1574
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying it's easy to sit here

1575
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: now and say, hey, look what once Frankly's Philly Carson

1576
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 1: Wentz can't play anymore and he's struggling, He's not really struggling.

1577
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: You and I both saw the guy can really play.

1578
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna put everything on Frank right, but

1579
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: I will say this Frank right, because it's easy in

1580
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: this moment. The same point to Indianapolis and what's happening

1581
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:39,560
Speaker 1: with Jacoby Brissette and the Colts, a team that you know,

1582
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: without Andrew Luck thought, you know, you thought that quarterback

1583
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 1: position was going to be a real issue for them.

1584
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Now it's not thought they were done. Yeah, you thought

1585
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: they were done. But with Frank w Reich handling Jacoby

1586
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:53,719
Speaker 1: Brissette and that offense, it looks like the Philly offense

1587
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: from two years ago. I mean, they got a quarterback

1588
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: that's playing and playing well and carrying that team from

1589
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,040
Speaker 1: and they're getting that played from a guy no but

1590
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: he thought had it in him. Carson Wentz was a

1591
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: top pick in the draft. Jacoby Brissett was a little

1592
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 1: bit of an afterthought. So you look at that and

1593
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm it's easy to say that today where these two

1594
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 1: offenses are and what's happened Indianapolis and what's happening in Philadelphia.

1595
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 1: But I think I'm that and that's not the point

1596
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm making is that Frank is the sole reason that

1597
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: they're not like they were and they are in Philadelphi

1598
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: because a number of things have changed in Philly. But

1599
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: my point is this, the guy handling the quarterbacks is critical.

1600
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: I think that's why you've seen the big steps with

1601
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen this year. With Brian Dayball handling and the

1602
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach for the Bills, John Yeah Dorsey, those guys

1603
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: all help, and you know they're all. Dorsey's a former quarterback,

1604
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 1: Peterson's a former quarterback, Frank Reich's former quarterback. You know,

1605
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Brian Dayball has worked with so many quarterbacks. I don't know,

1606
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 1: you can't count how many guys he's worked with, So

1607
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of experience with that. I just

1608
01:16:55,080 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 1: think that relationship is I think part and parcel of

1609
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: white quarterbacks are having good years and bad years at

1610
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: any given moment. Absolutely, Josh Allen's development always a topic

1611
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: of discussion, and it was today after the Friday practice,

1612
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott was asked for his appraisal of Josh Allen,

1613
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: how he's coming along and what is going to be

1614
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: his eighteenth NFL start. Here's Sean McDermott. Well, I would

1615
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:22,759
Speaker 1: say it's his part of his development. You know, sometimes

1616
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: you see and young player as you see, you know,

1617
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 1: leaps of development, and sometimes you see incremental development. And

1618
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: part of that is learning through you know, challenging moments,

1619
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: and the guys that can do that and sustain that

1620
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,719
Speaker 1: mentally and that resilience, that mental toughness and the resiliency

1621
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: through that go on to do good things. Okay, I

1622
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 1: guess I understand. I'm not quite sure what the question was,

1623
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's talking about Josh Allen. And I think

1624
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: to a man, this coaching staff, this front office, the

1625
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:00,799
Speaker 1: football department would tell you Josh Allen is making progress.

1626
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 1: And I think most fans can see that too. He's

1627
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: not a finished product by any stretch of the imagination. Yes,

1628
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: they need more deep passes, but they need a lot

1629
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 1: more from Josh Allen too. But you can see progress

1630
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: compared to where he was a year ago. You can

1631
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: see progress. I think I think so too. You can.

1632
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 1: You can see it. But I think also we also

1633
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 1: see you know, every once in a while, there's a

1634
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:20,759
Speaker 1: step backwards, you know, where he will make a mistake.

1635
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 1: It's like why are you doing you know you or

1636
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 1: don't take that hit at the end of the run,

1637
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 1: or throw that ball away, don't take the sack, or

1638
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, some plays like that. And certainly there's probably

1639
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 1: some of those exs and oose in this play call

1640
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,639
Speaker 1: you should have looked here first instead of there first.

1641
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 1: There's some of that, you know, real specific stuff to

1642
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: every play they call in the offense and the rules

1643
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: that they're in within that offense, where he probably blows

1644
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 1: it once in a while as well that we don't

1645
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: have any idea about it and we attribute it to

1646
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,760
Speaker 1: whatever the defense or whatever. So he's probably doing that

1647
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 1: in that respect as well. But I do think there's

1648
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: no question that even superficially, he's chopping off those bad plays,

1649
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 1: he's chopping off the bottom of the roller coaster, you know,

1650
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: and he's starting to become more consistent, and it has

1651
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: led to more consistent play offensively. His this defense has

1652
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: certainly been the enormous reason why they're five and one,

1653
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: because they've been able to hang in there with him

1654
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: and they haven't been had to you know, throw it

1655
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: fifty times. But he has had to come back from

1656
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: some deficits already this year, and they've been able to

1657
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: do that. That's the most notable thing about the Buffalo offense,

1658
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:30,640
Speaker 1: their resiliency. All Right, what's the best way for the

1659
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense to move the ball against the Eagles? That

1660
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: is our Twitter poll today. We'll talk about it with

1661
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: you on the phone lines. They are open at eight

1662
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty and toll free one eight eight

1663
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. We got tweets to read.

1664
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: The tweet sheet brought to you by Carrigan Moving Systems,

1665
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Best way for

1666
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 1: the Bills to move the ball to Sunday? What do

1667
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: you got on the tweet sheet from Robert? He says, Hey,

1668
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: pound the rock and set up the play action pass.

1669
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: Take some deep shots to Brown and hopefully to Foster.

1670
01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Speaking of play action, did you talk about that? We didn't.

1671
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: We did not talk about it. Earlier caller mentioned how

1672
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: we'd like to see more play action and said the

1673
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: Bills weren't doing much. But AB credits Pro Pro Football

1674
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 1: Focus for this one. Josh Allen used play action in

1675
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: thirty five point seven percent of his dropbacks last week,

1676
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: so a third of the time they threw the football

1677
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: it was in play action, and the caller had said

1678
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: he hates it when they go empty. Of course, that'd

1679
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 1: be when Josh is also in shotgun as well, because

1680
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: they don't have the play action option. Well, their their

1681
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: play actually more than a third of the time, according

1682
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,799
Speaker 1: to a Pro Football Focus, when they throw the football,

1683
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: a third at the time it's off play action. So

1684
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's past week. Yeah, this past week,

1685
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: this past week, and that's fifth in the NFL. That

1686
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: last week week seven, So that's a lot apparently. More

1687
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet from Andrew, we asked the question,

1688
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: what's the recipe for Buffalo's offensive success this week? Andrew

1689
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: tweets in the offense is still growing, still learning. I'd

1690
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 1: like to see them make connections with the long ball,

1691
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: but let's play it smart and nas force uncomfortable plays

1692
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. Well, that's a good reason to do it. Yeah,

1693
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more deep passes too. They've attempted him,

1694
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,680
Speaker 1: they've fried him, and they haven't connected. I don't think

1695
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean people kind of glimb down to that this

1696
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: week is well, that's a problem. They're they're not making

1697
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: deep passes and they did it well last year. Look,

1698
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: and I said it for a couple of weeks now

1699
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: it is a low percentage play. It's the clear definition

1700
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 1: of a low percentage play, a deep pass. I think

1701
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:23,719
Speaker 1: they'll come around. I think Josh has the arm certainly

1702
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 1: to hit those deep ones, and he'll get better at it.

1703
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: It was a strength of as a year ago, which

1704
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 1: leads me to believe he can find that and get

1705
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 1: back to it this year. I agree. And then from James,

1706
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: he's piling on that as well. I'm taking shots down

1707
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 1: the field when I feel necessary. I think Coal and

1708
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 1: our tight ends are going to have chances in the

1709
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: middle of this defense. Look, I'm looking for Knox to

1710
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,600
Speaker 1: have a great game Go Bills, and there's something to

1711
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:46,600
Speaker 1: be said for that. And we talked to Greg co

1712
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 1: Sell in the last segment. He said there's a chance

1713
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:50,720
Speaker 1: that Philly will have both their starting corners back on

1714
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 1: the field, which will strengthen their ability to cover on

1715
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: the outside. He also set up to this point, the

1716
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: Eagles have not been had good edge coverage in their

1717
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: past In their past defense. You would like to see

1718
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: if if they don't have those guys that you see

1719
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: John Brown and Duke Williams have a good day. If

1720
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 1: Duke Williams is indeed on the field, he's a game

1721
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 1: time decision, or Robert Foster or ISAA McKenzie or Andre

1722
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 1: Roberts whoever is the opposite of John Brown, and see

1723
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: them have some success if those corners are back on

1724
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:22,600
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, you might see Cole Beasley and the

1725
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: and the tight ends become a you know, more of

1726
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 1: a to have more of a stantial, substantial role in

1727
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 1: the offense. But all that remains to be seen on it.

1728
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 1: Who's gonna play for Philly and what the Bills team

1729
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: or the Bill's coaching staff season that defense where they

1730
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: can exploit it. I think it's gonna be fun to

1731
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:42,639
Speaker 1: see how they match this up. Philly's nicked up. Yeah,

1732
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: let's take call here. Ryan from Erie, Pennsylvania, Hello, Ryan,

1733
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey John has a gone good awesome. So

1734
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: I was just thinking like um for since Matt since

1735
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Matt is still out or hopefully he plays, but heard

1736
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: the d M Buchanan is a free agent. Maybe he

1737
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: could help with with a potential linebacker depth, and really

1738
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 1: the only players I think we should probably try to

1739
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: target in like, you know, trade wise, maybe Ryan Kerrigan

1740
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: or Von Miller of the one that would be just

1741
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: so so help you would make our events absolutely elite.

1742
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: He'd be expensive, he would, but I think he'd be

1743
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 1: worth it though, because he could definitely take us past

1744
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots, because as there were a few times against

1745
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins where somehow Fitzpatrick just just got out of

1746
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: Jerry's arms. Also, do you know why is is they

1747
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: Robert still hurt because he had a lot of good,

1748
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: good like rapport with Alan last year. I think he

1749
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 1: could help her offense immenseally. Robert Foster, you mean, yes, yeah,

1750
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: there's a reason he's not on the field. I don't know.

1751
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't begin to tell you what it is. Whether

1752
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: he's not on the injury list, he's not on the

1753
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: injury list, he's not, he's healthy. Um, he was inactive

1754
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: last week and a healthy scratch last week, And so

1755
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 1: there's reasons for it. They there's some guys on the

1756
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: team that are making it hard for Robert Foster to

1757
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 1: get on the field. And that's and you can say

1758
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: what you want about what that means, but I think,

1759
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't. I gotta be honest.

1760
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 1: And I like Robert Foster a lot. I liked what

1761
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 1: he did last year. But I don't think Robert Foster

1762
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 1: is the magic wand that's gonna fix the long ball

1763
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:22,799
Speaker 1: for Buffalo. I just don't. He's good and out. He maybe,

1764
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: but I don't know how much more wide open you

1765
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: can get than Andre Roberts was last week, John Brown

1766
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:32,599
Speaker 1: was last week. I mean, so I don't know. I don't.

1767
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's gonna be the cure. So

1768
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know, we'll see. It's gonna be

1769
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 1: interesting to see if he gets on the field if

1770
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't, and what the and nobody knows what the

1771
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff's thoughts are on Robert Foster, particularly since he's

1772
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 1: healthy now. It builds an Eagles Sunday. We got the

1773

1794
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 1: like your chair. We're talking about chairs. We have chair issues.

1795
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 1: It's better. We think we might need to stand for

1796
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 1: the show, which would be a major upheaval. Well, totally

1797
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 1: reboot the whole studio. We'd have to tear down all

1798
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,680
Speaker 1: the artwork in the back and the wood paneling. I

1799
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: don't think we're ready for that yet. Injury report, let's

1800

01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 1: suffered it in the Tennessee game. Milano still on the

01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,840

Speaker 1: Milano is questionable. Also questionable basically his backup linebacker Corey

1813
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:06,479
Speaker 1: He's got a shoulder injury suffered against the Dolphin. We've

1814
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:09,640
Speaker 1: been told that Man Blano Duke Williams are game time decisions,

1815
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,719
Speaker 1: so they're probably get what happens in a game time decision.

1816
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 1: They'll go out there about nine AM, maybe a little earlier,

1817
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: and they'll work out that the sports science guys and

1818
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 1: the medical staff go out there and run them through

1819
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: their paces, get them to run, cut, move, and do

1820
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: some certain exercise whatever they are, and after that they

1821
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,719
Speaker 1: see how they feel and if the thumbs up, thumbs

1822
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: down and don't know, and they'll find out. The actives

1823
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 1: come out eleven thirty am on game day before one

1824
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: o'clock game, ninety minutes before kickoff, and that's when we

1825
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: will find out whether it will happen or not. And

1826
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 1: make sure you're listening, tuned into the radio or following

1827
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: on Buffalo bills dot com for updates on that. On

1828
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, call here from Time on the West Side. Hello,

1829
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: time you're on the air. Hey guys, everybody keeps calling

1830
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: for the long ball this weekend, but I think it's

1831
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: going to be very difficult to do that. You might

1832
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: see one or two during the game, but the weather

1833
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 1: is not going to permit it. The high winds are

1834
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna play havoc with the ball. The kickers are gonna

1835
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: have a hard time kicking the ball. So I think

1836
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a load scoring, grounding pound game. And

1837
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,679
Speaker 1: I'm hoping Buffalo is really gonna come out on top

1838
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: of us. Yeah, i'm too. It's not gonna be easy.

1839
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:21,480
Speaker 1: It's by far the most difficult game since the Patriots.

1840
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: The Bills have not played you know, murderers Row this season,

1841
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: but this one is is interesting and I'm just looking

1842
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: for an update here on the weather for Sunday. Rainy, windy,

1843
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 1: the high of sixty three degrees, gonna rain in the

1844
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:37,520
Speaker 1: morning and the rain showers we are told will continue

1845
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 1: through the afternoon. Maybe not at the exact same pace,

1846
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 1: but the winds and he's right, the winds, get your attention, Steve,

01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: south southwest at twenty one miles per hour. That's windy.

Speaker 1: quarter of an inch on Sunday. Steady rain in the morning,

1850
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 1: showers continuing in the afternoon. Wins south southwest twenty to

1851
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 1: thirty miles per hour. It's gonna be, it's gonna be.

1852
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be consideration, and yeah, you're just gonna kind

1853
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: of battle through it. It'll have It'll be interesting to

1854
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:07,600
Speaker 1: see whether it'll affect a play selection. You know, we

1855
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: can't we can't throw it here. We can't throw it

1856
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 1: here in this direction. We can't you know, can't run

1857
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: it here. You know, we gotta kick this field kick

1858
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,719
Speaker 1: this field goal. We gotta get we need another first

1859
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 1: down to kick a field goal here or you know whatever. So, Uh,

1860
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting because I think, like like the

1861
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 1: caller Tom, I think that this weather's going to be

1862
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 1: a factor. And how big a factor is the big

1863
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 1: wild card? You don't know? Hey, coming up this weekend,

Speaker 1: lot better than what I thought I was going to field.

1953
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:06,920
Speaker 1: I think mainly because it was coming off of a

1954
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 1: bye week, and second secondly, I didn't have to play

1955
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:12,160
Speaker 1: any special teams. I think we punted twice, which really

1956
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 1: saved me. Those are the times where I really get

1957
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:17,800
Speaker 1: exhausted is when I have to, you know, I cover

1958
01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:20,640
Speaker 1: punts or cover kickoff or hold somebody up and then

1959
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,920
Speaker 1: go play defense. But but since we did our office

1960
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 1: did a really good job as far as moving the

1961
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 1: ball and having to kickfield goals. We never had to

1962
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:28,640
Speaker 1: punt in the game, so I felt pretty good. And

1963
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 1: that's because you're covering the field. When you're covering puncher kickoff, yeah,

1964
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean you're fighting another man for you know, forty

1965
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: fifty yards. I mean, that's that's the most exhausting play

1966
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,720
Speaker 1: probably is punt return. Kickoff isn't bad because you normally

1967
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 1: don't touch a guy into maybe at the last second

1968
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 1: before you maybe try to go get off the block

1969
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 1: and make a tackle. But punt returning punt's forty yards

1970
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,759
Speaker 1: of fighting a guy, and so you play seventy defensive snaps.

1971
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine that the absence of Milano having a

1972
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:55,720
Speaker 1: lot to do with that. Yeah, so we did it,

1973
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:58,599
Speaker 1: you know, manned his position by committee. First second down,

1974
01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:00,640
Speaker 1: I took a majority of the reps and then on

1975
01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: third down moved down to mind usual position as far

1976
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,280
Speaker 1: as rushing the passer, and Maurice Alexander came in and

1977
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:08,760
Speaker 1: played and filled his role. And so you know, when

1978
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:10,560
Speaker 1: you have a talented guy like Matt, it takes a

1979
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 1: couple of guys to kind of fill his role. And

1980
01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 1: because he has a lot of skill sets that really

1981
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 1: help us. We're talking with Great Cosell about this an

1982
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:20,439
Speaker 1: hour ago. Milano and to a certain extent, to tremine

1983
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 1: edmands to me, kind of embody kind of a new development,

1984
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 1: a new trend in the league where linebackers are not

1985
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:30,960
Speaker 1: really thumpers anymore. There a lot of guys playing linebacker

1986
01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:33,479
Speaker 1: now need to run like Milano, and tremine edmands to Yeah,

1987
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:34,760
Speaker 1: you definitely got to be able to run, but I

1988
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:36,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't say they're not thumpers. I think they'll get a

1989
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:38,560
Speaker 1: little upset, you know, if that's kind of kind of

1990
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:42,280
Speaker 1: soft in a nice way. But I think you have

1991
01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 1: to have the ability because teams have started taking advantage

1992
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,439
Speaker 1: of that as well as you know, play the Patriots

1993
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:49,599
Speaker 1: and some other teams that will throw a fullback into

1994
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 1: now because you are dealing with, you know, smaller linebackers

1995
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:55,599
Speaker 1: than we're historically used to, and we'll try to run

1996
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 1: the ball down your throat. And I think Matt has

1997
01:35:57,479 --> 01:35:59,680
Speaker 1: really grown in that aspect because he's put on some weight.

1998
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that was lifted and hanging

1999
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:03,920
Speaker 1: out with Julian Stafford, who's a weight room guy, and

2000
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: he's put on some bulk, and not only can he run,

2001
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,640
Speaker 1: but he'll come down and lay the wood on you

2002
01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 1: as well, which we've seen him do several times throughout

2003
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:12,240
Speaker 1: this season. And Tremaine just being a big man, he's

2004
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:14,559
Speaker 1: just a freak of nature out there at six to five.

2005
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 1: He's probably like, I don't know, two fifty five, two

2006
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 1: sixty and can run like a deer and come down

2007
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:22,040
Speaker 1: and drop the hammer on you as well. We're talking

2008
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: with Lorenzo Alexander, Bill's linebacker. If you have comments questions,

2009
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 1: give us a call eight oh three five fifty toll

2010
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2011
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:31,880
Speaker 1: Lorenzo will be with us. We'll get to the low

2012
01:36:31,920 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: down in a second about the game. And one more

2013
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:38,719
Speaker 1: question I ask for you about the Miami game, Micah Hyde,

2014
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 1: you needed that, you needed a big play. He needed

2015
01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:43,920
Speaker 1: to recover the kickoff on the onset. Yes, he did.

2016
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: It got bigger than that play, thanks in large part

2017
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 1: to a block you through for Mike. Yeah, me, Tremaine

2018
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:51,559
Speaker 1: and Jordan Poyer and also Julian Stafford did a great job.

2019
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: Obviously had three knockout blocks on that, which is really cool. Um.

2020
01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm glad he scored a touchdown, but it

2021
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,000
Speaker 1: is a you know, just from a technical standpoints and

2022
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:04,240
Speaker 1: no my situation where you should go down and then

2023
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 1: you offer and just kill the clock, but we had

2024
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 1: to go back out on defense. I get it. I

2025
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:09,880
Speaker 1: would have scored the touchdown too, I would I would

2026
01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 1: have scored the touchdown. It's not too many chance to

2027
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 1: get to score a touchdown. The NFL wide open like that.

2028
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:16,680
Speaker 1: You know, he probably he thought about it. He said, uh,

2029
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to score. I'm going to score. You just

2030
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:22,439
Speaker 1: don't get those type of opportunities. So I get it.

2031
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:24,840
Speaker 1: You know, obviously they put us up by two scores

2032
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 1: after he had that. But you know, just a great

2033
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:28,400
Speaker 1: job of executing because you don't get to work this

2034
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:32,120
Speaker 1: this play um full full going until you actually have

2035
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 1: to do it. Um So, but I've been campaigning for

2036
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 1: a dinner or something for Michael for the Yeah, for

2037
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,120
Speaker 1: the four guys or three guys that gave him great box.

2038
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:42,080
Speaker 1: What do you hear about that dinner or anything. Yeah,

2039
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:44,679
Speaker 1: he said he would do it now whenever that happens.

2040
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:48,439
Speaker 1: That's another thing. Yeah, it's hard to recover on sech kicks,

2041
01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: and people have talked about maybe there needs to be

2042
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 1: you're a special teamer, Yeah, maybe you need to tweak

2043
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:53,600
Speaker 1: the rules a little bit making it a little bit

2044
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:56,760
Speaker 1: easier to recover. Um, I mean there's definitely ways. I mean,

2045
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 1: if I would have missed the block, or if let's

2046
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,559
Speaker 1: say Jordan doesn't get to this guy or even Julian

2047
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 1: he gets hit here. I mean, so it's a possibility

2048
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 1: of him not catching this ball. It's not one hundred percent.

2049
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 1: Of course, the percentages have probably dropped lower than what

2050
01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 1: was already a low percentage of getting that ball anyway,

2051
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 1: just because you can't get a running head start. But

2052
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 1: there's still some teams out there to get creative with

2053
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 1: some kickers that can put some balls, hit a guy

2054
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 1: in the front line and the bounces back and they

2055
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 1: were able to get the ball. The game against Miamy

2056
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 1: just an overview here. The Dolphins were gamers. They came

2057
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 1: ready to go. I guess we anticipated that. Les. Yeah,

2058
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:33,880
Speaker 1: it was no doubt in my mind or anybody in

2059
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 1: our locker rooms mind that there was going to come out.

2060
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 1: As I pointed out last week, they have been in

2061
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 1: every single game at halftime. So this team is not

2062
01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:44,960
Speaker 1: just a you know, running the meal, You're just gonna

2063
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:47,720
Speaker 1: run them over. It's a team that hasn't learned how

2064
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:49,320
Speaker 1: to finish games yet. And I think that's why we

2065
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,920
Speaker 1: were able to kind of regain our composure and finish

2066
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 1: off the game at the end m the way we did.

2067
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 1: But their NFL team, they have great players. They're gonna

2068
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 1: come in here with pRIFLE and they want to play.

2069
01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 1: And obviously some of the stuff they got on us

2070
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 1: was because we weren't fitting stuff right. But at the

2071
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:06,640
Speaker 1: end of the day, we came away with the win.

2072
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:08,599
Speaker 1: Run to Alexander. We're gonna get to the low down

2073
01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:09,760
Speaker 1: in a minute, we want to get a couple of

2074
01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this week's opponents, the Philadelphia Eagles. As

2075
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 1: you said right therefore winning the air probably better than

2076
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:17,760
Speaker 1: their three and for a record. Huh yeah, I mean

2077
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:19,360
Speaker 1: I think they could easily be five and two just

2078
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:23,959
Speaker 1: watching a couple of the games came down to miss opportunities, execution,

2079
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 1: maybe a drop ball that would have won the game

2080
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 1: for him when I believe they were playing Atlanta. They

2081
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 1: had a couple of early turnovers last week that really

2082
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:34,040
Speaker 1: got them starting from behind off the jump. And so

2083
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,439
Speaker 1: if I'm sitting in that locker room, I'm like, Okay,

2084
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: it's all about what we've done to ourselves. It's no

2085
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 1: other team has stopped us besides some of sakes that

2086
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 1: we've made. And so if we clean those things up,

2087
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:47,120
Speaker 1: we can be right where we want to be as

2088
01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: far as maybe fighting for a playoff spot or maybe

2089
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 1: even the division in the NFC East. So obviously we're

2090
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 1: going to get their best. They have some great athletes

2091
01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 1: offensively that we have to really have to worry about,

2092
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:58,599
Speaker 1: start with Carson Wentz, and we gotta have a great

2093
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: game plan stopping that early. We have to start fast.

2094
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:03,439
Speaker 1: We can't start off like we did last week. Their

2095
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:05,559
Speaker 1: tight ends are good, right, Goddard and ERTs, and you'll

2096
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:07,599
Speaker 1: probably a lot of them. Yeah, I mean they run

2097
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of twelve personnel, um it's and that's really

2098
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 1: been like a new trend where you have like a

2099
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:18,120
Speaker 1: I guess your traditional blocking style fullback that's athletic, and

2100
01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:19,840
Speaker 1: I would say that's probably more a Goddard, and then

2101
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 1: you have like your Earth's that's more of a receiver type.

2102
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 1: And so they play a lot of twelve to where

2103
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 1: they're able to maybe run a ball if they want to,

2104
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 1: but then also split you out and really have to

2105
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 1: treat Earths as as a wide receiver like we've had

2106
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 1: to do with maybe two or three other Titans this year.

2107
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:35,920
Speaker 1: And so you have to play a lot of nickel

2108
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:38,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of buffalo against those style teams because

2109
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 1: they're looking to get the mismatch. That's why they put twelve.

2110
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 1: Maybe they play bass and now you stuck out there

2111
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 1: in base because you have maybe a linebacker's not as

2112
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:46,400
Speaker 1: good as a cover guy. And so we're starting to

2113
01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 1: see that and they have a lot of great other weapons.

2114
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 1: Aguilar Alshon Jeffrey's on the outside. Guys that can really

2115
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:52,800
Speaker 1: go up and go get the ball and also stress

2116
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:54,560
Speaker 1: the field. When you say you gotta play nickel in

2117
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:58,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Buffaloes is a very variation of nickel. It's just

2118
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 1: a bigger say instead of your traditional nickel playing the

2119
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 1: nickel spot. Gotcha. We are joined by Chris Brown, Bills

2120
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:08,880
Speaker 1: insider Buffalo Bills dot Com, who was busy writing for

2121
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,400
Speaker 1: the website running the injury update. Yeah, the injury update

2122
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 1: than expected, So kind of ran into some double duty there,

2123
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 1: you know what, like Lorenzo does on Sunday, I wear

2124
01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,760
Speaker 1: a few hats around here. You're not playing seventy snaps today, No,

2125
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm not playing seventy five players. Question. Well, anything on

2126
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:24,960
Speaker 1: the injury report jump out at you or what do

2127
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:27,760
Speaker 1: you think? No? Not really. Um. I was hoping that,

2128
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, some of those injured guys might get up

2129
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 1: to full participation status by Friday, which I think would

2130
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 1: put them on the more favorable side of questionable. But

2131
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 1: we didn't really see that today. So I really think

2132
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 1: all these guys are truly fifty fifty and Coach kind

2133
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:45,160
Speaker 1: of indicated as much. So you know, it's it's he said,

2134
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:47,760
Speaker 1: Milano specifically is a game time decision, and I know

2135
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 1: these guys would certainly love to have him in the

2136
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 1: coverage aspect against those two tight ends he was just

2137
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,960
Speaker 1: talking about, because we know how Matt can carry a

2138
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:56,479
Speaker 1: tight end down the field, and there's you know, there's

2139
01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:58,599
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of linebackers that can cover wheel

2140
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,560
Speaker 1: routes and stuff for really fast running backs like he.

2141
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 1: I still remember the pass breakup he made a few

2142
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:06,600
Speaker 1: weeks ago down that sideline down the Bill sideline on

2143
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 1: a really nice throwing ball. I can't even remember the

2144
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 1: opponent now. I want to say it was Newing him.

2145
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 1: It was against James White. He carried James White down

2146
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:14,760
Speaker 1: the field on that route. And I mean, there's not

2147
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 1: what it was maybe ten linebackers that can do that

2148
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:18,840
Speaker 1: in the league that can get twenty yards down and

2149
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 1: I want them then run step for step, you know,

2150
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:24,639
Speaker 1: so ill. But I will say this, The one thing

2151
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:26,920
Speaker 1: for me that I wanted to ask Lorenzo, knowing he

2152
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: was going to be in here today as he is

2153
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 1: every Friday, is when you see on paper that you've

2154
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:35,040
Speaker 1: got an offense that you're facing that has eight lost

2155
01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:39,479
Speaker 1: fumbles in six games or seven games. Isn't that like

2156
01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:41,679
Speaker 1: a red flag for you because I mean that's tied

2157
01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 1: for fourth most in the league right now, Like, let's

2158
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 1: look to punch some out because these guys are susceptible. Well, yeah,

2159
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 1: that's our standard every week. I mean, we focus a

2160
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:51,760
Speaker 1: lot on that. Sean. Lastly, all of our coaches we

2161
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:54,799
Speaker 1: show one turnovers, you know, before every meeting. We're focusing

2162
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 1: on it in practice, challenging guys, keeping score of guys

2163
01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:00,640
Speaker 1: that are punching balls out, catching interceptions, and so turnovers

2164
01:43:00,680 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 1: are always at the forefront of our mind and want

2165
01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:05,280
Speaker 1: to get him out. And for me when I when

2166
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:08,760
Speaker 1: I see that, it just adds to the idea of

2167
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:10,840
Speaker 1: this team is better than what they are because if

2168
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 1: you secure a lot of those balls, now you sustaining drive,

2169
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 1: putting points on the board, and probably winning some of

2170
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 1: those games that they lost. So for us, we know

2171
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 1: the ball is going to be a huge key in

2172
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:24,960
Speaker 1: this game. What about the Sanders Howard combination and how

2173
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 1: they use those two guys to play off one another, right,

2174
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Howard when he's in the game, you're

2175
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 1: thinking a little bit more run, big power back that

2176
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:34,360
Speaker 1: we face last year in Chicago can get things going.

2177
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:38,000
Speaker 1: And then Sanders is more that scat back obviously with

2178
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,800
Speaker 1: spros being down as his reps went way up, but

2179
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:43,680
Speaker 1: more of that, you know, working the two man game

2180
01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 1: on the backside versus that wheal linebacker. How can we

2181
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:49,720
Speaker 1: isolate him and get him in space and create some

2182
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 1: favorable matchups screen game. So those are the things that

2183
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:55,400
Speaker 1: kind of have to go in your mind when you're

2184
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 1: playing linebacker. Okay, which running back is in the game,

2185
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: where is he aligned? And then you have to you know,

2186
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 1: kind of go through some of your tendencies that's going

2187
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:04,720
Speaker 1: to allow you to play fast and put yourself in

2188
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 1: position to make plays, whether it's passed or run. I

2189
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:08,960
Speaker 1: got one more gay in offense and trigger man to

2190
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 1: ask you about Kurson Wentz. Yeah, who is not played

2191
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:13,479
Speaker 1: great this year, but man, he's got all the tools

2192
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:15,439
Speaker 1: you would want for an NFL right and m in

2193
01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:17,479
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. He's still young and developing. I mean,

2194
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 1: because he's been hurt, he's been in and out of

2195
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 1: the lineup. I don't think he's had I think this

2196
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:24,200
Speaker 1: is his fourth season and he hasn't had you know,

2197
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:27,560
Speaker 1: like three of those to be completely healthy, and so

2198
01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:29,400
Speaker 1: when you have some of that, some of the development

2199
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 1: mental things that you would like to see from him

2200
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:33,839
Speaker 1: is probably a little bit behind from a consistency standpoint.

2201
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 1: But this dude can can can throw the rock all

2202
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:39,760
Speaker 1: the way around. Um has a good strong arm to

2203
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:41,800
Speaker 1: actually lead the league or top five in the league.

2204
01:44:41,800 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 1: As far as explosive plays, UM you saw a couple

2205
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 1: of times. Um. It might have been in the Lantic

2206
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 1: game as well, Agilar taking the top off the defense

2207
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: and him making a downfield pass that's magnificent. Him is

2208
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:56,559
Speaker 1: zach ERTs have a very great chemistry going on as well.

2209
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,000
Speaker 1: And then he's done a very great job I think

2210
01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,320
Speaker 1: of being able to diagnosed with the defense is in

2211
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,479
Speaker 1: using his play clock, taking it all the way down

2212
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 1: at times, and putting his offense in the most advantageous play.

2213
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: So he's done a lot of great things. And then

2214
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:11,800
Speaker 1: on top of that, he's hard to tackle. I mean,

2215
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:14,000
Speaker 1: we thought we had our hands full with Fifth last week.

2216
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 1: This dude is breaking tackles and getting out and really

2217
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:19,920
Speaker 1: be able to stand some plays and also maybe save

2218
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:21,880
Speaker 1: some yardage by be able to throw the ball away

2219
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 1: because he is so big and strong when guys have

2220
01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 1: him d Lineman having wrapped up taking him down to

2221
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 1: the ground. I think he's also been a little bit

2222
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 1: of a victim of drops. I mean, Philly's tied for

2223
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 1: the league lead and drops this year with eleven. And

2224
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:35,600
Speaker 1: I looked up their catch rate the other day and

2225
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: they are thirtieth in the league and catch rate, they're

2226
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,759
Speaker 1: only catching just under sixty two percent of their passes.

2227
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:43,280
Speaker 1: Most of the better teams are up around seventy five,

2228
01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 1: seventy six percent, seventy eight percent even, and so they're

2229
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 1: way low, way down, especially when you consider the fact

2230
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: they've got guys who've been playing in the league a

2231
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:53,599
Speaker 1: little while here. You know, you got guys like Alshon,

2232
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 1: Jeffrey and Agilore. I mean, these guys has been in

2233
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:57,479
Speaker 1: the league for a few years, and I haven't watched

2234
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 1: enough games to know if it's is when's hitting the

2235
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 1: target and us or these guys just having concentration drops.

2236
01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:06,120
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is they're not completing

2237
01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: with enough consistency to keep that offense on the field,

2238
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 1: it seems. Do you did you notice anything like that.

2239
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 1: It was a couple of times where it was just

2240
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:15,519
Speaker 1: balls as guys he's not making the play for him,

2241
01:46:15,640 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, obviously we want we don't want

2242
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 1: to leave guys running wide open because it was making

2243
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:23,280
Speaker 1: some nice throws off some blitzs. You know, some teams

2244
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: were playing some cover too, and he's hitting that honeyhole

2245
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 1: shot and guys just weren't executing, you know, for whatever reason.

2246
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 1: Um it may be, but we don't want them to

2247
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:33,760
Speaker 1: get that, um that rolling against us, and so you know,

2248
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:35,880
Speaker 1: continue to try to play physical against the knock him

2249
01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:37,519
Speaker 1: off that time and stuff, and try to get after

2250
01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:39,479
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Their best receiver is not playing

2251
01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 1: right Deshan Jackson. You've faced him before, he before a

2252
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:45,320
Speaker 1: whole lot of years, you know, when I was in yeah,

2253
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: in Washington, and um, he's just a game changer. Even

2254
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:50,680
Speaker 1: though he's older than his years, that speed has has

2255
01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:54,440
Speaker 1: never left his body. Uh, you know, it's just deceptive

2256
01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 1: and he's killed a lot of people's hopes and dreams

2257
01:46:57,520 --> 01:46:59,200
Speaker 1: getting the slot. Yeah, he is a cow guy. I

2258
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten there, right, y'all building him up first and

2259
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 1: then by the way, we all know where he went

2260
01:47:03,320 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 1: to school at, so great athlete. Um, I don't know

2261
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 1: if he's going to play or not. I think look

2262
01:47:09,320 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 1: Domino injury, and you know when you a speed guy

2263
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:13,800
Speaker 1: like that, any little twins or things like that, it's

2264
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 1: hard to overcome. What about schematically, I think a lot

2265
01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: of people felt Miami kind of came in here with

2266
01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:21,320
Speaker 1: a good scheme last week, kind of kept your base

2267
01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 1: on the field, maybe even longer than you guys would

2268
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:26,639
Speaker 1: have preferred. Um, you know they I think you guys

2269
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 1: probably had an idea they were going to do that.

2270
01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 1: Once they activated the fullback, that made a big difference

2271
01:47:31,040 --> 01:47:33,160
Speaker 1: for us. But when you see a team that does

2272
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:35,400
Speaker 1: that and then they have a measure of success, how

2273
01:47:35,479 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 1: do you guys prepare, knowing the copycat league that it

2274
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:40,320
Speaker 1: is for future offenses coming in here. I don't know

2275
01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 1: if they have a fullback on their team all, so

2276
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:44,439
Speaker 1: that's gonna make a big difference, right, So, I don't

2277
01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:45,960
Speaker 1: know if they have the person they able to execute

2278
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,400
Speaker 1: that the style of stuff. Sometimes you can maybe try

2279
01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:50,080
Speaker 1: to put a tight end back there, but if they

2280
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:51,680
Speaker 1: haven't done it enough, it's not going to look the

2281
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:56,680
Speaker 1: same six three exactly. They don't have the experience. So

2282
01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:59,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna see that necessarily from

2283
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:02,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles, but you know, kind of, you know, reverting

2284
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:05,640
Speaker 1: back to Miami. You're right, they hadn't they hadn't activated it.

2285
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:07,680
Speaker 1: The fullback he wasn't up, So we didn't have a

2286
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:11,439
Speaker 1: lot of base reps during the week, especially two back stuff,

2287
01:48:11,960 --> 01:48:14,680
Speaker 1: and so that was a little healthic skelter for us.

2288
01:48:14,760 --> 01:48:16,679
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's all about

2289
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 1: fitting up runs, and we didn't execute that nast standpoint.

2290
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,040
Speaker 1: So it's not like they were running over guys and

2291
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 1: running through guys. We just weren't fitting things up because

2292
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: they put a fullback back back there, you have a

2293
01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:30,120
Speaker 1: couple of new guys insert it that haven't had the reps,

2294
01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:32,599
Speaker 1: and so you miss a couple of runs and then

2295
01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:35,679
Speaker 1: they get get it going and that confidence starts rolling

2296
01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:37,680
Speaker 1: and so but luckily we were able to kind of

2297
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, reset, refocus and regroup and kind of win

2298
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:43,080
Speaker 1: that back old. So that so, just to be clear,

2299
01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 1: so everybody's got this, it's something that was easily correctable.

2300
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 1: It's corrected to the point where you guys don't really

2301
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,800
Speaker 1: need to be concerned about future opponents getting you on

2302
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 1: that you fixed it. It should be good going forward.

2303
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 1: If you ever see it again. Correct and it's all

2304
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 1: about making adjustice and I think what we have to understand.

2305
01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:01,599
Speaker 1: You know, we played seven snaps. Every snap isn't going

2306
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 1: to be perfect, and all you need is one guy

2307
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:05,439
Speaker 1: to be out of a gap and that can do

2308
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:09,000
Speaker 1: an explosion play. That's why communication. A guy may be

2309
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:11,160
Speaker 1: stepping up and covering another guy up when he is

2310
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 1: out of place and then going to the sideline and

2311
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,840
Speaker 1: be able to communicate it player to player, coach to coach,

2312
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:17,519
Speaker 1: which I think we do a great job of that

2313
01:49:17,560 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 1: as far as making adjustments and corrections on the sideline.

2314
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:22,800
Speaker 1: The Lowdown with Lorenzo Alexander. The Lowdown is brought to

2315
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,640
Speaker 1: you by Hutches Redefining City Dining. This is where we

2316
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 1: get to the nuts and bolts of this game on Sunday.

2317
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 1: The Lowdown Lorenzo's keys to a Buffalo victory. Let's get

2318
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 1: going on this. Lorenzo Number one key you want to

2319
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:37,240
Speaker 1: read it discipline, gap, integrity. That sounds too complicated. What

2320
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 1: does that mean? Well, we just finished talking about it. Yeah,

2321
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,559
Speaker 1: So I mean if they just running straight, you know, kick,

2322
01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 1: which is doubles across the board, It's very simple because

2323
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 1: everybody has a gap. You to stay in your gap

2324
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 1: come down, he'll take the double teams off of the

2325
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,479
Speaker 1: defensive linement. And yeah, it's great. It gets hard when,

2326
01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:56,040
Speaker 1: like we saw last week, you start half pullers. You

2327
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 1: have these jet motions, so you have to have great

2328
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:01,120
Speaker 1: discipline with your eyes where you fitting where you're bumping too.

2329
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 1: And so I know they have a lot of jett

2330
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 1: in their game and they will utilize that as well.

2331
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,040
Speaker 1: And so when guys are bumping and then a tight

2332
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 1: end let's say we call it hawk but goes behind

2333
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:14,600
Speaker 1: the line on a snap of the ball and you

2334
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:16,679
Speaker 1: have maybe a pulling guard. You have to be able

2335
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:18,920
Speaker 1: to diagnose and see all that as a linebacker and

2336
01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:21,120
Speaker 1: as a nickel because sometimes you can be in the

2337
01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:22,920
Speaker 1: run fit as well. I think coming off that buy

2338
01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 1: week our game eyes weren't quite sharp when we started,

2339
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 1: and I think having a great week or practice that

2340
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:29,680
Speaker 1: should be fitted up and making sure we're doing that.

2341
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:32,720
Speaker 1: And then also on discipline penalties, we had way too

2342
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 1: many penalties. I think we had two unnecessary roughnesses on

2343
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:38,759
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We had a couple of big holding calls

2344
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 1: that brought some first downs back. And if we want

2345
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 1: to be able to continually win in this league. We

2346
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 1: can't continue to hurt ourselves. You have to play smarter,

2347
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 1: you know, when the ball is outside and we don't

2348
01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:50,600
Speaker 1: need you know, let let guys go pull off the

2349
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:52,600
Speaker 1: quarterback air on the side of caution because we know

2350
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 1: the refs are taught to air on the side of

2351
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 1: caution for quarterback safety. So even if we want to

2352
01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 1: kill them this stop, we're good. I mean, come on,

2353
01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:09,240
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but hey, they're calling it, so

2354
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:11,360
Speaker 1: let's pull off because at the end of the day,

2355
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:14,599
Speaker 1: who's gonna win that nobody's gonna win. That you mentioned

2356
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:17,120
Speaker 1: jet motion is funny. We had Isaiah McKenzie on the

2357
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:20,519
Speaker 1: show yesterday, who is mister jet motion for the team,

2358
01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:23,120
Speaker 1: and we mentioned him. It's more it's a trend in

2359
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:24,880
Speaker 1: the league now, right, maybe even just this year. Do

2360
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:29,080
Speaker 1: you see it? No, I mean we remember back maybe

2361
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,120
Speaker 1: two years ago when Shawn's first year here, when we

2362
01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:33,320
Speaker 1: played in New Orleans Saints. Yeah, they ran a ton

2363
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, charged ran a ton of that. So

2364
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:37,640
Speaker 1: it's become more prevalent, I think across the league, but

2365
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:40,240
Speaker 1: it's been in the league now. Would say, at least

2366
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:44,200
Speaker 1: I want to settle when he was there, maybe four years.

2367
01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:45,840
Speaker 1: It was more ghost most than I don't know that.

2368
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:48,000
Speaker 1: That's a long time ago, so you know, I saw

2369
01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 1: like touches of it. Now it's everybody, everybody, everybody does it,

2370
01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:54,479
Speaker 1: and it's just really it's window dressing. It's to get

2371
01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:58,280
Speaker 1: guys eyes in the wrong place because sometimes if you're

2372
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:00,400
Speaker 1: in a sudden cover, sometimes that is your guy. If

2373
01:52:00,439 --> 01:52:02,800
Speaker 1: you if you're a man, it's probably not your guy

2374
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,000
Speaker 1: because we're staying, you know, kind of disconnected to who

2375
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,639
Speaker 1: your original guy is. Um. So it can be getting.

2376
01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:09,760
Speaker 1: It can get hard in your natural inclination because they

2377
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:12,040
Speaker 1: especially if they run the sweet one time, then the

2378
01:52:12,080 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 1: next time you want to make a play and you know,

2379
01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:15,479
Speaker 1: you get out of your gap just a little bit

2380
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:17,840
Speaker 1: and then that that back. You know Howard is able

2381
01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:19,959
Speaker 1: to hit hit the seam and get a big explosion

2382
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 1: run on you. The lowdown continuous number two, lowdown number two,

2383
01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 1: number two key for Lorenzo effectively run the ball on offense. Yeah,

2384
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 1: as we heard UH coach Sean McDermott a lot of

2385
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:32,160
Speaker 1: the defensive line. We're kind of mad at this statement,

2386
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:36,760
Speaker 1: but he said they have the best defensive front. You know, yeah,

2387
01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, I can see but obviously rightfully so, I

2388
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 1: mean you think about Fletcher Cox and some of those

2389
01:52:43,240 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 1: guys that are over there, very dominant, very productive, very

2390
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 1: um um. Just they just disrupt a lot of things, disruptive,

2391
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 1: and so in order to slow them down, if you

2392
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:55,439
Speaker 1: want to be able to pass the ball at all,

2393
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:57,560
Speaker 1: you have to be able to run the ball effectively

2394
01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:00,599
Speaker 1: and creating that that run game, getting the couple of yards,

2395
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, three four yards of pop as we know

2396
01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:05,840
Speaker 1: Frank and Um Singletary can do, and then that opens

2397
01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:07,800
Speaker 1: up everything else once you kind of slow them down

2398
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:09,640
Speaker 1: because now we maybe got to play the run. They

2399
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:11,960
Speaker 1: can ask the play actions, some boots, some other things

2400
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:13,680
Speaker 1: to allow us to maybe get the ball down the

2401
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:15,720
Speaker 1: field and create some explosion players of our own. They're

2402
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:19,479
Speaker 1: they're a top ten run defense, but they're missing people.

2403
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Ridgeway just goes on IR this week. They're

2404
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:27,200
Speaker 1: all ready without Malik Jackson, who's on IR. And there

2405
01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:30,040
Speaker 1: was another guy, Tim Jernigan doesn't look like he's gonna

2406
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:32,759
Speaker 1: play either. They man they called. They signed two guys

2407
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:35,760
Speaker 1: off practice squads this week from two different teams. One

2408
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 1: of them may have to start next to Fletcher Cloud

2409
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,960
Speaker 1: Cox on Sunday. I mean that's you're asking a lot

2410
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:44,400
Speaker 1: of that kid. I mean, no regular season NFL experience

2411
01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:47,160
Speaker 1: for either of the two dts they signed, So target

2412
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:51,920
Speaker 1: that guy and go Lorenzo. And you both mentioned Fletcher Cox.

2413
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't think you were here yet the Bills played

2414
01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:57,559
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia twenty fifteen. You were here in twenty Yeah, Cox,

2415
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:02,000
Speaker 1: hold up the game over is capable of man? Yes,

2416
01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 1: he is. I mean I remember just study him doing

2417
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl run and the things that he can

2418
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:10,479
Speaker 1: do is just amazing. Um, he's a grown man. He's

2419
01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:12,080
Speaker 1: like right there, him and Aaron Downald. You know, as

2420
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:15,000
Speaker 1: far as the tackles go, you know, it's obviously one A,

2421
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:17,519
Speaker 1: one B as far as when those guys are rolling rolling.

2422
01:54:17,600 --> 01:54:20,519
Speaker 1: But he's a lot bigger man, yeah, yeah, than Aaron is.

2423
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:24,640
Speaker 1: It's like Aaron's speed, athleticism and power. Cox is just

2424
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:27,840
Speaker 1: he just takes up space, but he can move. He's

2425
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:31,040
Speaker 1: just not the agility of you know, a much smaller man.

2426
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:33,680
Speaker 1: Remember Richie Incognito in the locker room after that day,

2427
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 1: Richie's like he got me. Yeah, it was amazing. He

2428
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:42,160
Speaker 1: owned everybody that day. He wrecked the game. Last of

2429
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:44,200
Speaker 1: the lowdown. I don't know what this means. The ball,

2430
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:46,400
Speaker 1: the ball, the ball, the football. I know what the

2431
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 1: ball is. You know what it is? Yeah, what does

2432
01:54:48,600 --> 01:54:50,800
Speaker 1: this mean? I was just a how is it? You

2433
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:52,800
Speaker 1: want to possess the football? You want to take away

2434
01:54:52,840 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 1: the football? And that's what it comes down to. UM

2435
01:54:55,040 --> 01:54:58,520
Speaker 1: Early in the week, Sean Mitching the stat that anytime

2436
01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:01,040
Speaker 1: we've won the turnover rache, I believe we're like sixteen

2437
01:55:01,120 --> 01:55:02,840
Speaker 1: and two you in fact check me and maybe a

2438
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:05,120
Speaker 1: game and so often. But and you know, on the

2439
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 1: opposite side, they are I want to say, like fifteen

2440
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:10,440
Speaker 1: and one when they win the turnover ratio. And so

2441
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 1: that is going to be huge for us. As far

2442
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 1: as taking the ball away, we saw last week what

2443
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 1: that meant to their offense when Dallas was able to

2444
01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 1: create two early turnovers in the game, kind of just

2445
01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:23,680
Speaker 1: stopping their confidence, stopping that rhythm and be able to

2446
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:25,680
Speaker 1: get up on them early and give Josh in our

2447
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:30,120
Speaker 1: offense more opportunities to score in great field position. Before

2448
01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 1: we let you go, we want to review. You had

2449
01:55:31,720 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 1: a group. You're with a group here last Saturday for

2450
01:55:33,720 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: the sync Cancer with Cornhole a band. How do they

2451
01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 1: coach Saturday. It went great, had a great turnout. People

2452
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:40,480
Speaker 1: that were kind of had came down to the game

2453
01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:42,320
Speaker 1: early or over in the RV lot, you know, kind

2454
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 1: of tweeting out decisions went over and they actually came

2455
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:45,800
Speaker 1: over too, so it kind of turned to a big

2456
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 1: party Cornhole, had great music, prizes, raised a good ton

2457
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:56,320
Speaker 1: of money for cancer research locally here in Buffalo, and

2458
01:55:56,400 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 1: so hopefully we're able to continue to do it and

2459
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 1: grow the event. Did you to the seventy snaps you

2460
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:02,800
Speaker 1: took on Sunday as well as that part of the

2461
01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 1: only stayed for about an hour. Want to get off,

2462
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 1: said he wanted to stay off his feet. Yeah, he

2463
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 1: give me a hard time about that. I knew it

2464
01:56:11,320 --> 01:56:14,040
Speaker 1: was coming. I knew the seventy seven somewhere in there

2465
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:16,560
Speaker 1: was coming. So it came. Yes, So I was over there,

01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 1: John Murphy with Chris Brown. Chris, we had to pull

2479
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 1: Oh for Northwestern? Yeah, Northwestern, Hey Wildcats, the Cats. I

2480
01:57:12,040 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 1: don't know why they would celebrate his team's right, they

2481
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:15,840
Speaker 1: never won when he played, They didn't. They go like

2482
01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:17,640
Speaker 1: a year or two without when he was celebrating all

2483
01:57:17,680 --> 01:57:22,160
Speaker 1: the academic All America. Hey. Our question of the day

2484
01:57:22,280 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: on Twitter deals with this Sunday's game Bills Eagles. What's

2485
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:27,280
Speaker 1: the best way for the Buffalo offense to try to

2486
01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:29,600
Speaker 1: move the ball against the Eagles. We got almost fifteen

2487
01:57:29,640 --> 01:57:31,840
Speaker 1: hundred votes in on Twitter. I don't know what you think.

2488
01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 1: Fifty three percent of you say the best way to

2489
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:35,840
Speaker 1: move the ball is air it out. Eagles have a

2490
01:57:35,880 --> 01:57:39,120
Speaker 1: porous secondary. Thirty seven percent of you say run it,

2491
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 1: run it against ed banged up front. Seven ten percent

2492
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:43,840
Speaker 1: have something else in mind. Let's hear from you eight

2493
01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:46,560
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty and toll free one eight eight

2494
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:49,160
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. Those phone lines are

2495
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:51,840
Speaker 1: open and we have more from the tweet sheet the

2496
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:54,880
Speaker 1: Corgan movers tweet cheet Chris what he got there on

2497
01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:57,400
Speaker 1: the tweet sheets. This one from James. He said, I'm

2498
01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 1: for taking shots down field when it's necess Sarry, I

2499
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 1: think Cole and our tight ends are going to have

2500
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:06,200
Speaker 1: chances in the middle of that defense. Looking for Knox

2501
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:09,080
Speaker 1: to have a great game. Go Bills. You know, I

2502
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:11,280
Speaker 1: voted on your poll today and I voted up. I

2503
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:14,000
Speaker 1: don't think okay, go ahead. Voted what I voted other

2504
01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:16,920
Speaker 1: because because I want to mix. I want to mix.

2505
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:19,040
Speaker 1: I want to see more of Singletary in this game,

2506
01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 1: more touches for him. I'm whether it's carries or receptions.

2507
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 1: And with Duke Williams kind of up in the air

2508
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:28,960
Speaker 1: as to whether he's going to be available to play,

2509
01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 1: I think that enhances the chances of Robert Foster being active,

2510
01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm eager to kind of see

2511
01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:37,760
Speaker 1: him make a contribution. I think he can add a

2512
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:42,080
Speaker 1: different dimension to the bills passing game and dimension that

2513
01:58:42,280 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 1: not only the Eagles have not really seen much of

2514
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:48,800
Speaker 1: on tape this season, but in addition to that, they've

2515
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:53,160
Speaker 1: been victimized by players like him over the top. So

2516
01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:57,320
Speaker 1: I think it could be a blessing in disguise, so

2517
01:58:57,440 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 1: to speak. If Duke's unable to go with the shoulder injury.

2518
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:02,040
Speaker 1: He was still in the red non contact jersey had

2519
01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:06,600
Speaker 1: practice today. I was surprised that Foster was inactive game day,

2520
01:59:06,640 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 1: inactive last Sunday, And I know you and I talked

2521
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:11,960
Speaker 1: briefly Sunday, but look, I hope it's not the end

2522
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:14,720
Speaker 1: of the line for Robert Foster. But when he's inactive, yes,

2523
01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:16,040
Speaker 1: he had the groin to kept him out for a

2524
01:59:16,120 --> 01:59:17,920
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. You know, does he get a chance

2525
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 1: to win a roster spot back if Duke can't go,

2526
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:22,680
Speaker 1: and if Foster is the guy in the lineup for him,

2527
01:59:22,720 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 1: I hope he gets a chance because I do believe

2528
01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 1: he has something to offer. We saw it in the

2529
01:59:26,240 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 1: second f last year. Yeah, and I think it's more

2530
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:30,960
Speaker 1: than just the go routes, because towards the end of

2531
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:34,160
Speaker 1: last year, coach Dable was diversifying his route assignments on

2532
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:36,680
Speaker 1: certain plays. He was getting hit a little bit more

2533
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 1: on some of those deep crossers, and you know, that's

2534
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:42,879
Speaker 1: a level of the field that they've yet to exploit

2535
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:46,520
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis. You know, it's been mostly short

2536
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:49,160
Speaker 1: to intermediate thus far this season, and it's fine, they've

2537
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:52,600
Speaker 1: been moving the ball that way, but with a defense

2538
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:56,000
Speaker 1: with a secondary, that's an absolute tire fire right now.

2539
01:59:56,480 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna have to play Sydney Jones in

2540
01:59:58,240 --> 02:00:01,480
Speaker 1: the slot, who did not do well there. Ronald Darby's healthy,

2541
02:00:01,520 --> 02:00:03,800
Speaker 1: he couldn't get off the bench last week against Dallas.

2542
02:00:03,920 --> 02:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Is he going to play and he's been out of

2543
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,440
Speaker 1: the lineup for a month. Even if he does play,

2544
02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:12,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be rusty. Avonte Maddox, their primary nickel, doesn't

2545
02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:14,120
Speaker 1: look like he's going to play again this week. He's

2546
02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:17,440
Speaker 1: still in concussion protocol. So they have a ton of

2547
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,360
Speaker 1: problems there. And Rusuel Douglas is giving up a passer

2548
02:00:20,440 --> 02:00:24,080
Speaker 1: rating of one twenty five to opposing quarterbacks. So they

2549
02:00:24,160 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of problems on the back end. And

2550
02:00:25,880 --> 02:00:28,480
Speaker 1: part of the reason why is because of how injured

2551
02:00:28,520 --> 02:00:32,560
Speaker 1: they are up front. You know, without the second inside

2552
02:00:32,640 --> 02:00:35,400
Speaker 1: player like a Tim Journegan or Malik Jackson to worry

2553
02:00:35,440 --> 02:00:38,480
Speaker 1: about they double. Most teams have doubled Fletcher Cocks for

2554
02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:42,000
Speaker 1: obvious reasons, and for the most part, quarterbacks have been

2555
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 1: getting the ball out quick enough to kind of neutralize

2556
02:00:44,240 --> 02:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Barnett and Graham on the outside. So now the pass

2557
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:49,680
Speaker 1: rush is neutralized, and that puts the pressure on the

2558
02:00:49,720 --> 02:00:51,720
Speaker 1: coverage unit on the back end, and to this point

2559
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:53,480
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to hold up there into the bargain.

2560
02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Chris Brown is with us to talk about this matchup.

2561
02:00:55,920 --> 02:00:57,680
Speaker 1: We want to hear from you as well. Phone Nine's open.

2562
02:00:57,720 --> 02:00:59,600
Speaker 1: You had the numbers I think tuesday on our show

2563
02:00:59,680 --> 02:01:02,000
Speaker 1: this week, Chris about and we're talking about the deep

2564
02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 1: passing game and what was your number? Eleven and eleven

2565
02:01:04,800 --> 02:01:07,920
Speaker 1: point six percent of Josh Allen's completions have been twenty

2566
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:11,080
Speaker 1: yards or more and about only five percent more last

2567
02:01:11,160 --> 02:01:13,680
Speaker 1: year twenty yards or more. Yeah, I got thinking about attempts.

2568
02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:15,840
Speaker 1: You don't have those numbers in I don't and I

2569
02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:17,440
Speaker 1: don't have them off the top of my head either.

2570
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:20,960
Speaker 1: I would guess they are fewer. That would be yes,

2571
02:01:21,200 --> 02:01:24,120
Speaker 1: that would be my guests, because I think we can

2572
02:01:24,160 --> 02:01:27,520
Speaker 1: all agree that last year, the bulk of what made

2573
02:01:28,360 --> 02:01:30,560
Speaker 1: the football move down the field. When the Bills were

2574
02:01:30,600 --> 02:01:32,440
Speaker 1: able to move to the football on offense last year,

2575
02:01:32,480 --> 02:01:34,840
Speaker 1: it was due to two things. Josh throwing the ball

2576
02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:38,280
Speaker 1: deep and Josh running. Those were the two most consistent

2577
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 1: things in the offense last year because it was really

2578
02:01:40,440 --> 02:01:44,760
Speaker 1: all they had. The offense has since been diversified. They

2579
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 1: have a better offensive line, they can win at the

2580
02:01:46,600 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, which means they can run the ball

2581
02:01:48,480 --> 02:01:51,480
Speaker 1: effectively to set up play action. And they have two

2582
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:55,000
Speaker 1: receivers who thrive in the short to intermediate areas and

2583
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:57,320
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley and John Brown. So that's why we've seen

2584
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:00,960
Speaker 1: this shift in approach on offense. And it's and you

2585
02:02:01,040 --> 02:02:05,040
Speaker 1: can certainly make the argument that it's a higher percentage type.

2586
02:02:05,120 --> 02:02:07,320
Speaker 1: It's a more efficient way of moving the ball because

2587
02:02:07,360 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 1: you're making more high percentage throws when you're throwing it.

2588
02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:13,760
Speaker 1: So I think that's why they've gone the way they've gone.

2589
02:02:14,040 --> 02:02:16,200
Speaker 1: Wasn't it one of the focuses for Josh Allen's second

2590
02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:18,360
Speaker 1: year development. Yes, people were like, oh, he's got to

2591
02:02:18,400 --> 02:02:20,280
Speaker 1: get a better short to intermediate game. Well, he has

2592
02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:23,920
Speaker 1: done that, and it's reflected in his completion percentage. So

2593
02:02:24,840 --> 02:02:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, going forward, I think, yes, they would like

2594
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:31,440
Speaker 1: to diversify the passing game even more. Maybe instead of

2595
02:02:31,480 --> 02:02:33,560
Speaker 1: taking one or two deep shots down the field, maybe

2596
02:02:33,600 --> 02:02:35,320
Speaker 1: they want to take four or five, depending on how

2597
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:38,000
Speaker 1: many possessions they have in a game. I mean, last week,

2598
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I think they only ran fifty eight plays on offense.

2599
02:02:40,560 --> 02:02:42,839
Speaker 1: You want to be up closer to sixty five to seventy.

2600
02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:46,480
Speaker 1: So the number of plays were down, and it wasn't

2601
02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 1: because they were scoring quickly. That certainly wasn't the reason

2602
02:02:49,560 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 1: why the plays were down. You know, some weeks you

2603
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:54,680
Speaker 1: have a couple of three or four play scoring drives,

2604
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:56,480
Speaker 1: your number of plays are going to be down. That

2605
02:02:56,560 --> 02:02:58,400
Speaker 1: wasn't the case for the Bills last week. And yet

2606
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:01,400
Speaker 1: still they only had fifty eight total snaps on offense.

2607
02:03:01,480 --> 02:03:04,000
Speaker 1: So I think they want to get that number higher.

2608
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:07,400
Speaker 1: But I also think that at some point in time

2609
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:10,640
Speaker 1: they at least want to put on tape. Hey, you know,

2610
02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:12,840
Speaker 1: we're capable of hitting on a deep shot and scoring

2611
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:15,600
Speaker 1: quickly on you two, We're not all about seventy and

2612
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:17,760
Speaker 1: eighty yard scoring drive. Right, Let's work in a few

2613
02:03:17,800 --> 02:03:20,400
Speaker 1: phone calls here, Carter from Geneva, New York is on

2614
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:24,280
Speaker 1: the line with us. Hello, Carter, go ahead. I just

2615
02:03:24,480 --> 02:03:27,960
Speaker 1: think that this is possibly one of the best opportunities

2616
02:03:28,080 --> 02:03:30,920
Speaker 1: since the Eagles secondary seems to be so weak, that

2617
02:03:31,440 --> 02:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen could really show well and prove that, you know,

2618
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 1: he is capable of having big games because you know,

2619
02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:40,720
Speaker 1: because of the Eagles front seven, it could be difficult

2620
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:42,360
Speaker 1: to run the ball. And I think this is an

2621
02:03:42,400 --> 02:03:46,840
Speaker 1: opportunity to Josh should take advantage of. I think so too.

2622
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:51,280
Speaker 1: I hope it happens, right, it could happen. I mean,

2623
02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:54,680
Speaker 1: there's no reason to say that that the opportunities won't

2624
02:03:54,720 --> 02:03:57,120
Speaker 1: be there. We should also mention one of the guys

2625
02:03:57,160 --> 02:03:59,040
Speaker 1: that was playing cornerback for them on Sunday night. It's

2626
02:03:59,080 --> 02:04:01,400
Speaker 1: no longer on the roster, Orlando Scandrick. And I know

2627
02:04:01,440 --> 02:04:03,040
Speaker 1: you've been doing the show today, so maybe he didn't

2628
02:04:03,080 --> 02:04:06,160
Speaker 1: notice this, but he talked to one I didn't see.

2629
02:04:06,200 --> 02:04:09,280
Speaker 1: It's the team of the Philadelphia reporters. I think Paul

2630
02:04:09,320 --> 02:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Domowich was one of the first guys he spoke to,

2631
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:16,080
Speaker 1: and he basically threw Carson Wentz under the bush without

2632
02:04:16,200 --> 02:04:18,480
Speaker 1: naming him, saying, well, you know, in the places that

2633
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:20,400
Speaker 1: I've been. The quarterbacks supposed to be the first one

2634
02:04:20,440 --> 02:04:22,720
Speaker 1: in and the last one out, so basically indicating Carson

2635
02:04:22,760 --> 02:04:26,440
Speaker 1: Wentz isn't. And then he said that, you know, there

2636
02:04:26,480 --> 02:04:29,320
Speaker 1: were some infighting. People were receivers were mad because they

2637
02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 1: weren't getting the ball enough, which was, you know, a

2638
02:04:32,040 --> 02:04:35,320
Speaker 1: direct shot at Alshon Jeffrey, who was indirectly accused of,

2639
02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, talking bad about Wentz as well. And then

2640
02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:41,240
Speaker 1: he also said, if you wear the sea on your shirt,

2641
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:44,040
Speaker 1: you should be pulling people together, not tearing them apart,

2642
02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:45,560
Speaker 1: and that was a direct shot at the guy he

2643
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:48,480
Speaker 1: lined up with in the secondary and Malcolm Jenkins. So

2644
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:51,560
Speaker 1: there are some out there speculating that this could have

2645
02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:54,680
Speaker 1: a galvanizing effect for the Eagles and that it might

2646
02:04:54,800 --> 02:04:57,560
Speaker 1: not play well for the Bills. I think if the

2647
02:04:57,600 --> 02:05:01,560
Speaker 1: Bills get up ten points early, there's gonna be some

2648
02:05:01,640 --> 02:05:03,400
Speaker 1: people yelling at each other on the sideline on the

2649
02:05:03,400 --> 02:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Philadelphia side of the field. So hopefully the Bills can

2650
02:05:06,520 --> 02:05:09,800
Speaker 1: get off to a fast start, can breed some more infighting,

2651
02:05:10,320 --> 02:05:12,640
Speaker 1: and you know, they can kind of coast to a victory.

2652
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 1: But but it's something that's telling me this is going

2653
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:15,840
Speaker 1: to be kind of a nip and tuck battle. I

2654
02:05:15,880 --> 02:05:18,880
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. The Eagles are desperate. The

2655
02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:21,680
Speaker 1: division title, even at three and four, is still in

2656
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:25,480
Speaker 1: play for them because of the jumbled nature of that division.

2657
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:28,200
Speaker 1: So there's an awful lot for them to play for

2658
02:05:28,440 --> 02:05:30,520
Speaker 1: this week, and I think they want to get off

2659
02:05:30,560 --> 02:05:32,960
Speaker 1: this two game Schneid. The interesting thing for me, though, Murph,

2660
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:35,200
Speaker 1: is the Eagles are a much different team on the

2661
02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:37,120
Speaker 1: road than they are at home. They are one and

2662
02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:39,560
Speaker 1: three on the road. They're giving up thirty one and

2663
02:05:39,600 --> 02:05:42,680
Speaker 1: a half points per game in their road games this season,

2664
02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:46,240
Speaker 1: so their defense has problems overall, but when they're on

2665
02:05:46,320 --> 02:05:49,800
Speaker 1: the road they are exacerbated for whatever reason. One more

2666
02:05:49,840 --> 02:05:54,000
Speaker 1: call here, let's work in a call from Chris in Holland. Hello, Chris,

2667
02:05:54,120 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hi. How are you guys doing today? Okay,

2668
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:01,880
Speaker 1: good to see you guys. I have a question that's,

2669
02:06:02,360 --> 02:06:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, a soft subject for today, but it just

2670
02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:07,480
Speaker 1: came to me a couple of times I wanted to call,

2671
02:06:07,600 --> 02:06:11,280
Speaker 1: and I was wondering what you would think of allowing

2672
02:06:12,280 --> 02:06:15,920
Speaker 1: twelve men in the field twice for offense and twice

2673
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:21,600
Speaker 1: for defense for both teams, like a power play. Yeah, yeah,

2674
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 1: I kind of like that. Yeah, just um, I wouldn't

2675
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:25,760
Speaker 1: think much of it. Why would you want to do

2676
02:06:25,840 --> 02:06:28,600
Speaker 1: that just to liven things up a little bit and

2677
02:06:28,840 --> 02:06:33,480
Speaker 1: confuse everybody. Things are pretty lively, I think already, aren't they.

2678
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:38,800
Speaker 1: Oh you're darn right. I love it? Man. Okay, interesting,

2679
02:06:40,040 --> 02:06:41,800
Speaker 1: somebody's not working today. I don't think a lot of

2680
02:06:41,880 --> 02:06:43,920
Speaker 1: a lot of time for idle thought. Let's spend a

2681
02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:45,760
Speaker 1: little time with a look at at the weekend. It's

2682
02:06:45,800 --> 02:06:49,240
Speaker 1: presented by Amtrak on Amtrak Get carried Away. We talked

2683
02:06:49,320 --> 02:06:52,200
Speaker 1: so much about the Bills all week and I'm not

2684
02:06:52,280 --> 02:06:54,680
Speaker 1: saying we forget those other games. But there are other games,

2685
02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:59,960
Speaker 1: including another London games, Cincinnati and Los Angeles. The money

2686
02:07:00,080 --> 02:07:02,440
Speaker 1: that game seems to be a yarner the Dolphins in Pittsburgh.

2687
02:07:02,520 --> 02:07:04,880
Speaker 1: But I'm interested in two games primarily, Chris, and I

2688
02:07:04,920 --> 02:07:07,240
Speaker 1: want to get your take on this. Arizona at New Orleans.

2689
02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:09,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals have won three in a row. We talked about

2690
02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:11,960
Speaker 1: great go a little bit about it. He says, what

2691
02:07:12,120 --> 02:07:14,320
Speaker 1: was it the air raid offense that Cliff Kingsbury's was

2692
02:07:14,360 --> 02:07:16,680
Speaker 1: supposed to install? He said, you really don't see evidence

2693
02:07:16,680 --> 02:07:18,920
Speaker 1: of that with Arizona, and yet there's three straight wins

2694
02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:22,160
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray's playing well. I'm not saying their division

2695
02:07:22,960 --> 02:07:25,560
Speaker 1: contenders or anything, but not in that division. I salute

2696
02:07:25,560 --> 02:07:27,400
Speaker 1: what the Arizona Cardinals have done to hang in there

2697
02:07:27,400 --> 02:07:28,920
Speaker 1: with a first year head coach and a brand new

2698
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:30,560
Speaker 1: quarterback and to win three in a row. They're three

2699
02:07:30,600 --> 02:07:32,840
Speaker 1: and three. Now, good for them, Yeah, they're not. They

2700
02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:35,000
Speaker 1: certainly didn't hang in last year because the coach was

2701
02:07:35,040 --> 02:07:37,680
Speaker 1: fired not long after this period of time, I believe

2702
02:07:37,720 --> 02:07:40,720
Speaker 1: if memory serves, and you know, they had their coordinator

2703
02:07:40,800 --> 02:07:45,120
Speaker 1: canned Rosen was already getting written off by people, and

2704
02:07:45,200 --> 02:07:47,520
Speaker 1: they had an offensive line mess so to kind of

2705
02:07:47,560 --> 02:07:51,440
Speaker 1: retool it and then stick to it quite frankly, really

2706
02:07:51,480 --> 02:07:53,440
Speaker 1: didn't have another choice where you're gonna blow it up again. No,

2707
02:07:53,800 --> 02:07:55,600
Speaker 1: you kind of needed it to gain traction. You put

2708
02:07:55,640 --> 02:07:57,720
Speaker 1: all your eggs in that basket, so you had to

2709
02:07:57,800 --> 02:08:00,200
Speaker 1: kind of ride it out. I guess that this week.

2710
02:08:00,440 --> 02:08:02,160
Speaker 1: I think the party ends this week, though. I mean,

2711
02:08:02,200 --> 02:08:05,240
Speaker 1: they're they're playing a juggernaut in the Saints whose defense

2712
02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:08,040
Speaker 1: is vastly underrated because their offense gets all the pub

2713
02:08:09,160 --> 02:08:11,680
Speaker 1: They have probably one of the best receivers in football

2714
02:08:11,720 --> 02:08:14,640
Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas and his breeze coming back he was

2715
02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:17,200
Speaker 1: in there was indication that that could happen. Yeah, and

2716
02:08:17,520 --> 02:08:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, even if he's a little rusty, by the

2717
02:08:19,720 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter, that guy's gonna be locked in.

2718
02:08:22,440 --> 02:08:24,480
Speaker 1: And it's it's gonna be a it's gonna be an

2719
02:08:24,560 --> 02:08:27,200
Speaker 1: education for Kyler Murray on how to play quarterback. And

2720
02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:29,760
Speaker 1: one more game to look ahead at. And it follows

2721
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:32,400
Speaker 1: the Bills four twenty five on Sunday, the Browns and

2722
02:08:32,520 --> 02:08:34,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The Bills get the Browns a couple of

2723
02:08:34,440 --> 02:08:38,840
Speaker 1: weeks away. Patriots coach Bill Belichick would a win would

2724
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:41,320
Speaker 1: become just the third coach all time to win three

2725
02:08:41,440 --> 02:08:45,000
Speaker 1: hundred games, including Don Shula and uh and George Hallis,

2726
02:08:45,080 --> 02:08:47,560
Speaker 1: which is amazing. I mean, you have to stop for

2727
02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:50,240
Speaker 1: a second and salute that. I guess I just don't

2728
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,560
Speaker 1: know if the Browns are gonna be able to get

2729
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:55,000
Speaker 1: their season going that this week against New England. Yeah,

2730
02:08:55,240 --> 02:08:57,360
Speaker 1: they're coming off the by You want to hope that

2731
02:08:57,520 --> 02:09:01,200
Speaker 1: that has given the coaching staff extra time to maybe

2732
02:09:01,280 --> 02:09:04,720
Speaker 1: draw up some things that could have some measure of effectiveness,

2733
02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, against that Patriots defense. But the Patriots bring

2734
02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:13,080
Speaker 1: the house maybe more than anybody on defense, and it

2735
02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:15,040
Speaker 1: is working. And it's to a point now where it's

2736
02:09:15,040 --> 02:09:17,960
Speaker 1: already being copycatted by some other teams in the league.

2737
02:09:17,960 --> 02:09:21,840
Speaker 1: Where they're sending six It brings back memories of the

2738
02:09:21,920 --> 02:09:24,880
Speaker 1: eighty five Bears defense. I know schematically it's not the same,

2739
02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:27,160
Speaker 1: but I remember the Bears just didn't care. They would

2740
02:09:27,200 --> 02:09:30,520
Speaker 1: send six guys, seven guys, and the quarterback would be

2741
02:09:30,600 --> 02:09:32,600
Speaker 1: a deer in the headlights. He'd be running for his life.

2742
02:09:33,200 --> 02:09:35,160
Speaker 1: He'd be barely getting a snap and he's running the

2743
02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:38,400
Speaker 1: other way down the field. And I don't know if

2744
02:09:38,440 --> 02:09:41,400
Speaker 1: you can stop that train right now. Usually in the

2745
02:09:41,480 --> 02:09:44,240
Speaker 1: off season is when a lot of offensive coaches try

2746
02:09:44,280 --> 02:09:46,320
Speaker 1: to catch up to the latest trend in the league.

2747
02:09:46,880 --> 02:09:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if two weeks is enough time for

2748
02:09:49,360 --> 02:09:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, Kitchens to figure it out. And we know

2749
02:09:52,520 --> 02:09:55,080
Speaker 1: what Belichick's record is against first and second year quarterbacks.

2750
02:09:55,120 --> 02:09:58,560
Speaker 1: I think it's twenty two and one is the only

2751
02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:00,360
Speaker 1: guy with a win. I think so Josh ruggle and

2752
02:10:00,480 --> 02:10:04,400
Speaker 1: we saw Josh Rosen. Sam Darnald, last name Donald, that's

2753
02:10:04,400 --> 02:10:07,040
Speaker 1: why man, Yeah, Sam Darnald, Yeah, that was I don't

2754
02:10:07,040 --> 02:10:09,040
Speaker 1: know what Baker mayfield. I'll be really interested to see

2755
02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:11,560
Speaker 1: how he fares against that defense, a different looks they

2756
02:10:11,680 --> 02:10:13,600
Speaker 1: will present him. It's gonna be interesting. I think they've

2757
02:10:13,640 --> 02:10:16,360
Speaker 1: got to really try to get job going in this

2758
02:10:16,560 --> 02:10:18,800
Speaker 1: game on the ground, to try to set some kind

2759
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:21,480
Speaker 1: of cross up, you know, for play action and stuff

2760
02:10:21,520 --> 02:10:24,400
Speaker 1: like that, because man, if they put it all on Baker,

2761
02:10:24,440 --> 02:10:25,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be ugly in a hurry. Got a

2762
02:10:25,920 --> 02:10:28,560
Speaker 1: break coming up here. One Bill's Live presented by Kalida

2763
02:10:28,600 --> 02:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Health Live from the Seneca Studio Seneca Resorts in Casino.

2764
02:10:31,720 --> 02:10:47,520
Speaker 1: Nothing comes close. What have we learned from today's show

2765
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:50,840
Speaker 1: of Rock You by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2766
02:10:50,880 --> 02:10:53,120
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. Drew Bledsoe was on the

2767
02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 1: show today. He's on his way to Buffalo for the

2768
02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. He's part of the Legends group that

2769
02:10:57,440 --> 02:10:59,800
Speaker 1: we'll be here for the game on Sunday. Meeting and greetings,

2770
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:03,160
Speaker 1: eighteen hands. Let's talk about his career and I want

2771
02:11:03,200 --> 02:11:05,560
Speaker 1: you enjoyed his time playing here for the Buffalo Bills.

2772
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:09,520
Speaker 1: And it's a story that you guys know so well

2773
02:11:09,640 --> 02:11:13,120
Speaker 1: from so many guys that have come to to Buffalo.

2774
02:11:13,880 --> 02:11:17,000
Speaker 1: Your perception from the outside of what it's like playing

2775
02:11:17,040 --> 02:11:19,640
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills versus what it's actually like are

2776
02:11:19,640 --> 02:11:22,920
Speaker 1: pretty darn different. Um. You know, I had an amazing

2777
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:24,880
Speaker 1: experience playing there in Buffalo. We wish it could have

2778
02:11:24,920 --> 02:11:27,280
Speaker 1: gotten much much longer, and I wish we could have

2779
02:11:27,320 --> 02:11:29,320
Speaker 1: had more success. But man, we had a great time

2780
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:32,800
Speaker 1: playing there. Love being a part of that organization and

2781
02:11:33,120 --> 02:11:34,920
Speaker 1: uh and even more so, I love being a part

2782
02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:37,120
Speaker 1: of that community. Who's just really a fun place to play.

2783
02:11:37,320 --> 02:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Great fans. Uh, it was, it was, It was fantastic.

2784
02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:42,720
Speaker 1: Grue Let's will be back in town for the Bills

2785
02:11:42,720 --> 02:11:46,120
Speaker 1: Eagles game. I'm that game great. Go Sell, executive producer

2786
02:11:46,160 --> 02:11:49,680
Speaker 1: analysts for NFL Matchup on ESPN. Talking about this matchup

2787
02:11:49,720 --> 02:11:51,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday, he says, it's going to be a heck

2788
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:56,000
Speaker 1: of a game. I would anticipate, you know, again, because

2789
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:58,520
Speaker 1: of Carson Wentz, who can be special. It's always hard,

2790
02:11:58,800 --> 02:12:01,600
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't paid, quite honestly, that the Eagles will

2791
02:12:01,640 --> 02:12:04,320
Speaker 1: struggle to score a lot of points. And what that's

2792
02:12:04,360 --> 02:12:06,720
Speaker 1: a relative term, you know, I don't know what that means.

2793
02:12:08,120 --> 02:12:10,640
Speaker 1: You know, I think that if Darby and Mills play

2794
02:12:10,680 --> 02:12:13,960
Speaker 1: who are the starting corners for the Eagles? That upgrades

2795
02:12:14,000 --> 02:12:16,840
Speaker 1: their corner position. We could be looking at a tight game.

2796
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:21,200
Speaker 1: And again I can't factor in turnovers or special teams plays,

2797
02:12:21,280 --> 02:12:25,800
Speaker 1: So assuming all that's equal, or I wouldn't I wouldn't

2798
02:12:25,800 --> 02:12:27,560
Speaker 1: look at this game as a thirty one twenty four

2799
02:12:27,640 --> 02:12:30,320
Speaker 1: kind of game. No, great Cosell. Chris Brown is with

2800
02:12:30,440 --> 02:12:32,480
Speaker 1: us to wrap it up. Chris, you mentioned the Orlando

2801
02:12:32,600 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 1: Scandric media tour today and he made a couple of

2802
02:12:36,120 --> 02:12:40,000
Speaker 1: national parting fires everywhere. Yeah, he said his release was

2803
02:12:40,520 --> 02:12:44,440
Speaker 1: scapegoatsh He basically called GM Howsey Roseman a liar, called

2804
02:12:44,520 --> 02:12:47,920
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins a safety, a selfish player, and question tackle

2805
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:51,720
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson's leadership. Other than that, everything's good, And he

2806
02:12:51,840 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 1: also to some other reporter in Philly said, you know,

2807
02:12:55,280 --> 02:12:57,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks need to be the first in and last out

2808
02:12:57,840 --> 02:13:00,240
Speaker 1: of the building, kind of a shot across the Ballotson

2809
02:13:00,280 --> 02:13:01,880
Speaker 1: wentz too, So I don't I don't know who he

2810
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:05,400
Speaker 1: left out, but there weren't many impact on the game.

2811
02:13:05,440 --> 02:13:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't see much. Although you said maybe they rap,

2812
02:13:07,760 --> 02:13:10,120
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think it might challenge their pride

2813
02:13:10,120 --> 02:13:12,600
Speaker 1: a little. But since you know, he kind of dragged

2814
02:13:12,640 --> 02:13:15,920
Speaker 1: it out into the media and said his piece. Whether

2815
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:19,400
Speaker 1: they just dismiss him as you know, a guy spouting off,

2816
02:13:19,600 --> 02:13:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, sour grapes kind of thing, or whether they say, man,

2817
02:13:22,720 --> 02:13:25,760
Speaker 1: this guy's challenging us. Let's show you know, he's badmouthing us.

2818
02:13:25,840 --> 02:13:28,640
Speaker 1: Let's show everybody we're not that and we're still, you know,

2819
02:13:28,720 --> 02:13:31,640
Speaker 1: a championship caliber team. So I don't know. Hopefully it

2820
02:13:31,720 --> 02:13:34,360
Speaker 1: doesn't impact the game and all. Hopefully they come in

2821
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:36,040
Speaker 1: here sleepwalking and the Bills can jump on. I think

2822
02:13:36,080 --> 02:13:37,520
Speaker 1: the Bills is gonna win, but it's gonna be close.

2823
02:13:37,560 --> 02:13:39,960
Speaker 1: Seventeen fourteen x freads only like one and a half, right,

2824
02:13:40,360 --> 02:13:42,400
Speaker 1: gonna be close. Seck of a game. Make sure you

2825
02:13:42,520 --> 02:13:44,600
Speaker 1: tune into the game on Sunday. We'll see her Monday
