Speaker 1: has time, throws to the end zone, touchdown, touchdown Buffalo.

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: It is Lee Smith, his first game, his first touchdown.

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: Lee Smith was wide open in the end zone. Touchdown, Buffalo.

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Back to throw, looks downfield. He's got Gabriel Davis wide open.

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: He connects at the twenty six and Davis it's out

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: of bound right there. Oh, a fake play that was

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: second and goal from inside the two Alans take the snap,

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna keep it himself. The third time goes right side

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: this time and he dives and he is in touchdown Buffalo.

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen three straight runs, the last one puts points

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: on the board. Now the stamp rolls to his right,

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: fires wide open. Tyler Croft touchdown Buffalo. That too easy,

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Too easy. Josh Allen throws a touchdown past three yards

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: long to Tyler Groff. Snap. Alan takes a look as

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: a pocket fires into the end zone and he's caught

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: caught in the end zone for the touchdown. Stefon Diggs

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: touchdown Buffalo. Jared Goff takes the snap, play action fake,

26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: gets rid of it quickly and it is caught by

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Robert Woods in the backfield. Now cuts to his right,

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: gets inside the fifteen, inside the ten, down to the five,

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: and he is into the end zone. Touchdown. Robert Woods

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,880

00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: fake throws it to Cooper Cup makes a catch at

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: the five and he cruises into the end zone. Touchdown Rams.

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Here's the snap. Golf gives it to Henderson. He is

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Touchdown. Rams take the lead with

35
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: four and a half minutes left and play snap Josh

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: looks guns it the Cole Beasley caught at the twenty

37
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: four head top field, gets down to the fifteen yard

38
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: line and stopped there. He has brought down at the

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: fifteen yard line by Troy Hill an eighteen yard pickup.

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: Now the snap, Josh gonna throw it, looks looks fires

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: into the end zone. He's got Tyler Croft open touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo touchdown, fills up four yard thoughts. Josh Havin to

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: Tyler Kropp, fifteen seconds left on the clock. Are you

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: leavable hitting me? Man? I mean, I've called some pretty

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: impressive comeback wins. This might take the case to you.

46
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: That is your Tashiba game. Rewind Tashiba, the official copier

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. Are you kidding me? Yeah?

48
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Well no, the Bills are three and ozer after a

49
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: heart stopping performance on Sunday led by of all people,

50
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who does it again, back to back fourth

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: quarter comebacks. And here to talk about all of it

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: with us is Eric Wood, who joins us on the

53
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: line from Louisville. And Eric, good to have you with

54
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: us as we do on Mondays. And maybe just your

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: initial impressions of the way that thing went and if

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: your heart was in your throat too. Oh, absolutely, it's

57
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: amazing the nerves you feel when you're watching a game

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: and you can't control anything, as opposed to when you're

59
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: playing and you don't even feel those nerves. It's just

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: another play that you know, you're you're just kind of

61
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: doing your thing out there. So yes, my emotions were

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: running wild during that game. They started off so hot,

63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: but in my mind I saw the Rams consistently getting

64
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: chunk plays against the Bills, and it may be nervous.

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: They also were wearing down the Bills defense. Micahdd and

66
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer talked after the game about them getting fatigued

67
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: in the first half with the tempo that the Rams

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: run their offense. They run it at an incredible pace,

69
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: and when the Bills got up twenty eight three, I

70
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: wasn't sure that the Rams could keep their game plan

71
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: of running downhill and then running play action plays off

72
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: of it, but they were able to. They were aided

73
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: by two Bills turnovers, but they climbed all the way

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: back and obviously we all saw the finish and it

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: was great for Bills fans. Yeah, no question, I thought

76
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: the same thing you did at the end of the game.

77
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: The Rams, you know, they got stronger because like Buffalo

78
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: had done in the first couple of weeks, you got

79
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: a time of possession, particularly in Week one, where they

80
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: dominated that time of possession. It gets easier as the

81
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: game goes on. Certainly, the Rams are talented enough and

82
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: we knew this coming in Their run game is no joke,

83
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: and whether they play action off of it or not,

84
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: they can snap off some runs with that running back

85
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: by committee. Absolutely, and their offensive line coaches. Former Bills

86
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: offensive line coach Aaron Cromer, who I played for, I

87
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: know he is a heavy influence into their run game.

88
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: He had a heavy influence into our run game when

89
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: we were number one in the league and rushing and

90
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: back to back season. So he's doing a great job

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: along with Sean mcvayh of scripting runs. And I gotta

92
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: ask multiple times yesterday what's wrong with the Bills rushed defense?

93
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: And I said, well, first off, let's give credit to

94
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: the Rams. They're staying with their blocks really well, um,

95
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: they they're using motion to create not necessarily confusion, but

96
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: slower hitting linebackers safeties to their gaps because every time

97
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: not to get the four oh one here on one,

98
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: Bills live in the first five minutes. But when you

99
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: bring a guy in motion, whether it's a jet sweep,

100
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: you're you're you're taking the count that the defenders have

101
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: on defense and shifting their gap responsibilities. That doesn't allow

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: you to hit it downhill so fast. Brian day Ball

103
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: uses this a lot as well. The Bills utilize this

104
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: tremendously in their offense. The Bills run some of the

105
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: top percentage of motion on all their plays. But the

106
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Rams did a great job of getting downhill on the

107
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: Bills yesterday. And it's it's it was a point of

108
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: concern last year and we saw the teams that ran

109
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: the ball at will last year on the Bills. Those

110
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: results in losses. This year, it's a great sign that

111
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: the Bill's offense can match these teams even when the

112
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: defense is having an off day. Let's take that one

113
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: step further in terms of the misdirection and how it

114
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: gets the second level of the defense moving laterally instead

115
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: of you know, north and south. It's a false step

116
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: and it doesn't sound like much, but a linebacker takes

117
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: one false step at the snap, they're at a position technically,

118
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: no matter how athletic they are, and you know, even

119
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: with athletes like Edmonds and Milano, you take one false

120
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: step in one direction so you don't get outflanked on

121
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: the edge for fear of a jet sweeper. What have

122
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: you and then all of a sudden that runners coming

123
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: north south on you. Sometimes you're making an arm tackle

124
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 1: instead of a shoulder tackle, and now that guy's getting

125
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: yards after contact. That's really the difference, right, I mean

126
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: it's so small, but the but the gains are significant

127
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: as we saw. Yeah, you're exactly right, Chris, And you

128
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: have Matt Milano coming off a hamstring injury. May be

129
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: hampered by that a bit yesterday, but he looked for

130
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: dominal in coverage, so I don't want to give him

131
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: too much of a pass because he looks so well,

132
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: so good in coverage. And then it seemed to me

133
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: at times Edmonds, especially on a late Robert Woods touchdown,

134
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: maybe feeling some effects of that shoulder and taking a

135
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: week off, and you know they played one game to

136
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: start the season after such a long break, no preseason.

137
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: Then you miss a game, you know some rust built

138
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: in there. But back to your point about when those

139
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: guys come in motion, and if people go back and

140
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: watch the replay of the game or catch the All

141
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: twenty two when that's released, you'll see if the Bills

142
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: are in zone, they'll bump all their linebackers or safeties

143
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: whoever is down at that linebacker level. And what that does,

144
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: to Chris's point, is it just makes you hesitate just

145
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: to touch. There were times where Dean Marlow was in

146
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: the game in that big nickel or extra safety role,

147
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: and based upon motion, Sean McVeigh and Aaron Cromer would

148
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: make him essentially become the Sam linebacker right at the

149
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: point of attack. Well, now you have offensive lineman blocking safeties,

150
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: and you know, you gotta have to give them credit

151
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: for the way they were able to scheme up their

152
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: run game. And then whenever I talk about defense and

153
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: stopping the run, you know, we always talk about fits

154
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: and we talk about, well, where's the unblocked player? Where

155
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: was he? Why couldn't he make the play of three yards? Well,

156
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: on defense, one guy can shut a block at the

157
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: point of attack and stop the run. Give credit to

158
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: the Rams offensive line yesterday they were sustaining blocks to

159
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: force those plays to go to the safeties. And then

160
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: let me add one more thing on why I think

161
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: the run game was so effective for the Rams. Yesterday.

162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago the Rams ran the highest or i'll

163
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: say two games ago, the Rams ram the highest percentage

164
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: of play actually passed in the NFL. They had Tyler

165
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: Higbee took the top off the defense twice on two

166
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: of the three touchdowns. The Bills safeties knew that in

167
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: the back of their mind. So even when you see

168
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: this motion and run action play after play and you're

169
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: seeing these gash plays, in the back of their mind,

170
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: I think they were thinking, let's make them earn it

171
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: the whole way down the field and not let them

172
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: take the top off the defense. And it worked. Early on.

173
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: They got red zone stops, holding them to field goals

174
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: one field goal in the first half, they got a

175
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: turnover on downs and because of the Eli Levi Wallace

176
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: gets an interception, they were able to make plays to

177
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: stop them and eventually you win the game. But you

178
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: know that that ended up hurting them. In the second half,

179
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: they got gashed with them and never did the Rams

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: take the top off the defense. A lot of their

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: big players were either in the run game off play action,

182
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: maybe reverses short passes out to the flats and all that.

183
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: So we're talking with Eric Wood here first hour of

184
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: a Bill's victory Monday. We will take your phone calls

185
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: at eight three five fifty. We do have a line

186
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: open for you there one five fifty two, five fifty.

187
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: I think we were expecting this to show up at

188
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: some point in time. As we lead off with Earl

189
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: in Wellsville. So, Earl, thanks for joining us here on

190
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: the show. What do you have for us? Hey? And

191
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: what a game man? I'll say it really exciting. But

192
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: I got a couple of questions for you. I'm that interception,

193
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: so opatch a call? How did they not challenge that?

194
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: Or can't they? They did? It was reviewed every turner.

195
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: They called it an interception, so it was reviewed automatically, Earl.

196
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: And what the report in New York said. What they

197
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: said in New York was this that because they didn't

198
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: have definitive evidence that Croft came down with full possession

199
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: or at least fifty fifty possession with the defender, they

200
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: didn't overturn it. So they said there wasn't enough to

201
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: keep it as a reception, let alone to overturn it.

202
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: So they went with the call on the field. Had

203
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: it been a reception and then a fumble or whatever,

204
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: they would have stayed with that call as well. But

205
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: because they couldn't see what happened when those two guys

206
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: came together, they couldn't overturn the call. That was their

207
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: reasoning in New York on the refundamental problem was it

208
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: was called an interception on the field by the officials,

209
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: and so for some reason, when that goes up to

210
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: booth review or to New York, as it did in

211
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: this case on a change of possession, Al Riveron, who

212
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: was interviewed by the Pool media reporter Vic Carucci after

213
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: the game in New York, basically said we have to

214
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: go and judge it based on the ruling on the field.

215
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: The ruling on the field was interception, which as we

216
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: all know, was patently wrong. Tyler Croft clearly caught the football.

217
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: It was a reception and then a challenge for possession.

218
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: There was no clear cut interception at any point in time.

219
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: They got it backwards. They called it an interception on

220
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: the field. But what that does is when an interception

221
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: like that is called on the field, the people reviewing

222
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: it in New York have to go with the call

223
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,239
Speaker 1: on the field, which is interception. Do you have conclusive

224
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: evidence that it wasn't an interception? Well, to me, you did,

225
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: And why you can't overrule what was called on the

226
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: field as an interception and make it a reception. But OPI,

227
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: so you use the penalty rams and you know you

228
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: play another down. Why you don't have the jurisdiction to

229
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: change it from interception ruling on the field to reception

230
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: and then challenge for possession is beyond me. I don't

231
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: understand how the steps work there, I really don't. It

232
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: makes zero sense to me. Right if they're saying, yeah,

233
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: I agree with you completely, I mean because any anybody

234
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: can see that when Tyler Croft pulls it into his body,

235
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: the defender comes in and grabs it. And you, now,

236
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: if you're telling me that defender came in and had

237
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: one hundred percent control of that ball before Tyler Crofts

238
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: behind hits the ground, you're living on another world, in

239
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: an alternate reality. Because those guys at very most it

240
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: was dual possession when they hit the ground, and as

241
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: soon as the as soon as they both hit the ground,

242
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: that play is dead, period, and it should be. It

243
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: should be simultaneous possession. It goes to the guy who

244
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: had the football or the offense in this case, and

245
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: they just absolutely did the wrong thing. Eric, I know

246
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: you were pretty hot on Twitter after that play, So

247
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: where where did you come down on it? I think

248
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: you guys hit the nail on the head with all

249
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: of your assessment on it. I'd be repeating your thoughts

250
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: if I said mind. But to me, it's an obvious

251
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: reception then a tie on the ground. I have no

252
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: idea how they determined that that was an interception on

253
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: the field just kind of boggles my mind. There's there's

254
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: more bang bang plays than that it throughout a football

255
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: game that I understand how difficult it is on the

256
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: referees to do their job. That one didn't seem to

257
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: be one of those. And you know, the crappy part

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: is that's Josh Allen's one interception on the year. And yes,

259
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: the Bills get to win, and they don't care about stats,

260
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: but we do and I do. And it's it's it's

261
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: a it's an interception that he shouldn't have had. And

262
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: you know what, when you're when you're dancing around the

263
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: pocket like that and you throw a heave like that,

264
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: bad things can happen. I get that, But he didn't

265
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: deserve it on that one. Yeah, right. And the thing

266
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: that is fundamentally wrong with the process by which they

267
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: review these plays is they go they narrow it down

268
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: to just the call that's made on the field, and

269
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: they operate their review process off of the call on

270
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: the field. So it's as if they never even looked

271
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: at the play. They simply take what's the call on

272
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: the field. Oh, it's interception, all right, let me see

273
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: if this is an interception. Now, at no point in

274
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: time do they open themselves up to the common sense

275
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: thought of, well, this doesn't look like an interception. It

276
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: looks like a catch and then a wrestle for the

277
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: ball afterwards. They don't even go there because the ruling

278
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: on the field is interception. That defies any common sense

279
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: for me. It really why have a review process if

280
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: you can't change what is clearly called wrong on the field,

281
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: And that is a horrible process by which you come

282
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: to a decision. Here's one that you'll love too. In

283
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: the Chicago Atlanta game, there was the exact same play

284
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: where a player came down. Whether they called it a reception,

285
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: they went back and it was dual possession, and they

286
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: gave it, and they gave the reception to the defense

287
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: as an interception, and they reversed a call in the

288
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Chicago Atlanta game, doing exactly what they should have done

289
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo game. In the reverse they called it

290
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: a reception. It came down, they reversed it to an interception,

291
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: and in Buffalo they refused to do that as a

292
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: reception and reverse it to an interception and reverse it

293
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: to a reception. So it's arbitrary and wrong. That was

294
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: a giant momentum shift that started the avalanche of Rams

295
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: coming back right into the game and scoring twenty nine

296
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: unanswered point would have brought up, they would have repeated

297
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: the down. I think it would have been third, and

298
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: they would They probably would have put it. They would

299
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: have had one more play to get maybe a few

300
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: yards or whatever, and then pump the ball away. But

301
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: that's different than giving them the ball on second down

302
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: or third down there as a turnover. It's a you know, yeah,

303
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: we could, we could go round and round about it.

304
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: I just think the review process is flawed when you

305
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: cannot use common sense and say, well, I know the

306
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: call in the field was an interception, but it clearly wasn't.

307
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: It was a reception first, and then a wrestle for

308
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: the football with no clear definition that the defender had

309
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: possession of the football without the offensive player who made

310
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: the catch in the first place, still having possession himself.

311
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: That's why it's ridiculous. The whole process has to be

312
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: revamped to allow common sense to be at least a

313
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: part of the equation here, because it clearly wasn't all.

314
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: Right back to the phones, Let's go to Daryl in

315
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: ken Moore, who's got an offensive line question. So we'll

316
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: let Eric take this one. Darryl and ken Moore, what

317
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Hey, gentlemen? How you doing good?

318
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: You blogging the hall? And then Eric is a fellow

319
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: offensive alignment, although at a much floor. Will I really

320
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: appreciate the way you played for us? My question is,

321
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: where's Quentin Spain? The guy didn't allow us sack last

322
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: year and now Cody Ford is playing his spot. Eric,

323
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: why don't you take that one? Yeah, first off, I

324
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: appreciate the compliment Darryl and us O lineman. We all

325
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: can relate no matter the level we end of that,

326
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: and so I appreciate those And I'm your question about

327
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain. You know, when I was with Sean McDermott

328
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, two games into the season, he replaces

329
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: vlad du Coss, He replaced John Miller with laddu Coss

330
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott for all positions on the football team is

331
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: trying to find the best players at each position. And

332
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: when they gave Brian Winner some action last week in

333
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: previous games, he graded well enough. He showed what he

334
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: could do on tape to make them on a flip

335
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: Cody guard to the left side and get they think

336
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: this is their best five right now? Is this a

337
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: preemptive measure for when you get John Feliciano back, Because

338
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: to me, John is one of your five best period

339
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: if he plays to the level we played last year.

340
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: So is this a ploy or is this, you know,

341
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of preemptive that maybe you shift Cody forward over

342
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: to left guard right now and then when John Feliciano back,

343
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: he hops, he comes back, he hops back into his

344
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: spot at Rychard potentially. But I thought the Bills offensive line,

345
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: especially in the first half, played excellent yesterday. It wasn't

346
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: until they got into some obvious past situations that Aaron

347
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: Donald started to make an impact. One of his two

348
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: sacks on the day was on a naked bootleg screen

349
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: that he was unblocked on. So he really has one

350
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: sack now. It was a big sack and caused a fumble.

351
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: Steve doesn't think it should have been upheld anyways, but

352
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: that's when Aaron Donald had to had his effect in

353
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: the game, when they gut in obvious pass situations. And

354
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: I think at this point, the way they played yesterday,

355
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: you keep this group going for another week. And with

356
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins hopping out with injury yesterday, we'll see if

357
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: he's able to come back this week. If he's not,

358
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: that probably puts Tian Ski at left tackle. That could

359
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: create maybe some other shifts. But I liked what I

360
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: saw from the offensive line yesterday. And you know what,

361
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: the Bills are in a very unique situation with offensive

362
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: lineman right now, and they have been for a couple

363
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: of years now. Ever since the debacle of twenty eighteen

364
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: where Josh couldn't get any pass protection. Brandon Bean has

365
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: made at his point to get a ton of quality

366
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: offensive lineman within this organization, which isn't the case around

367
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. A lot of teams right now are trying

368
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: to find five guys that he can even play on Sundays.

369
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: The Bills have guys that they're rotating in. They have

370
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: a great backup, great great swing tackle backup and Tie

371
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: and Secky. They're developing young guys, you know. And then

372
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: you also have Spain winners Ryan baths Ford who can

373
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: play guard. Feliciano's coming back, So you have so many

374
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: quality offensive lineman. This is a luxury conversation that we're

375
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: having right now, because most teams cannot have this conversation.

376
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: What do you think about the prospect of the Bills

377
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: taking on the philosophy going forward here of perhaps rotating

378
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and either in game or perhaps week to week.

379
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: Certainly not to the degree that they rotate their defensive lineman.

380
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: But I wonder if we're getting to the point in

381
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: this league where, if you're deep enough, rotate guys there too.

382
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it kind of runs counter to

383
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: the whole continuity argument in the way the offensive line

384
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: has to operate. But is that even a realistic prospect?

385
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: Or is this truly just Hey, whoever looks the best

386
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: in practice this week's gonna play on Sunday. I think

387
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: it's less about who looks the best in practice. I

388
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: think it's still what you've shown on film. Now you

389
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: have to play well enough in practice to get the

390
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: opportunity in the game. I don't love rotating offensive lineman

391
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: throughout a game unless maybe someone's dinged up, or you

392
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: play an early game in the season down in Miami

393
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: where you may get fatigued. Crampings an issue. You get

394
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: these games in the fourth quarter in the old lineman

395
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: in quarterback, and then probably your corners and safeties are

396
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: the only guys that don't come off the field throughout

397
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: the game. Well, you can have cramping issues, whatever it

398
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: may be. I think that's an isolated instance where I

399
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: would be in favor of rotating throughout a game. I

400
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: know from my experience I would want I would never

401
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: want to come out two. I'd like to get in

402
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: a flow throughout the game and blocking the guys. But

403
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: to your point, I continuity, Chris, and I've held this

404
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: opinion all along about continuity. Continuity comes very fast amongst

405
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: offensive line with guys who have had meaningful snaps in

406
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: this league, Guys that are intelligent and guys that want

407
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: to work with each other. And it seems like the

408
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: Bills have so many of those guys right now. And

409
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: that's where you've kind of seen plug and play at

410
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: a number of different spots. Some rotation and it has

411
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: really hurt their performance over the last eighteen games. Will

412
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: call it so nineteen games, that being our third of

413
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: this season. So I think that where the Bills are

414
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: at right now, they don't have to worry too much

415
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: about continuity because so many of these guys have played

416
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: either within this organization under day ball or a guy

417
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: like Brian Winners, Darryl Williams, Tye and Secky have played

418
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: so many other games as starters in this league. Yeah,

419
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: I'll say this as well, not just because you're here,

420
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: because I've said it before on the show when you

421
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: weren't here. I think if you're going to start a team,

422
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: particularly an offense, you got to start up front. Those

423
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: guys are your quarterback will be better if if the

424
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: offensive line is a good or too great offensive line,

425
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: your quarterback will be better. Your running game will be better,

426
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: your passing game will be better. Let's think about a

427
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: five of the eleven guys that are on the field.

428
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Are those guys you gotta have five? You know, those

429
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: five guys half your roster on the field. If they're

430
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: playing great, the other five benefit from it. I think

431
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: that's where you start your building process. And of course

432
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: the Bills. Maybe we're behind that by a year in

433
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen when they kind of went out got Josh

434
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: and they you know, and they were kind of getting

435
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: together defensively. I think they're here now and I don't

436
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: think they'll waiver from it. I think you're right. The

437
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: depth of their offensive line I think is very important

438
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: to them going forward back to the phone, and you

439
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: can't you can't necessarily hold that against Brandon being either

440
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: because coming into twenty eighteen, he assumed that I would.

441
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: He gave me a contract extend, assumed I would be

442
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: the center, and then Richie had the unfortunate circumstances where

443
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: they moved on from him as well. If me and

444
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: Richie are in that offensive line in twenty eighteen with

445
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: Cordy Glenn at left tackle or Dion Dawkins at left tackle,

446
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: I think it looks a lot different In twenty eighteen,

447
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: those things were out of his control. But to your points, Steve,

448
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: think about putting Dak Prescott behind that offensive line in

449
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: Dallas and the way they built that one compared to

450
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: what they're doing in Cincinnati right now, where Joe Burrows

451
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: getting the snot knocked out of him and now he's

452
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: gonna this could create bad habits for him in the pocket,

453
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, as opposed to building the offensive

454
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: line and then bringing in your quarterback. Let's go back

455
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: to the phones. We go to Joe in Maryland. Joe,

456
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you have for us? Hey, guys,

457
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: on the interception thing. First, real quick. It's driving me

458
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: nuts today to see all of the highlight packages and

459
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: coverage talking about how we got the Rams got jobbed

460
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: the end of the game, and they don't even mentioned

461
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: the fact that they wouldn't have gotten into the game.

462
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: Likely it's the momentum shift after that phony interception. Anyway,

463
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys had a chance to

464
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: see the ESPN Plus special with Peyton Manning talking about

465
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's performance last week. No, I've heard about, but

466
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: I've not seen it. Go ahead, Joe, tell us what

467
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, Yeah, So on that one, Peyton Manning

468
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: identifies Josh Allen when he's doing his hard counts. Anytime

469
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: it's a fake and he's not actually going to snap

470
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: the ball. He has his hands outstretched as if he's

471
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: going to catch the ball when he does the fake snap.

472
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: So when he actually takes the snap, his arms are

473
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: kind of like hanging down by his side. The defenders

474
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: at this point would know from film study that he's

475
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: not snapping the balls. His arms are outstretched waiting to

476
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: catch a ball. And I noticed yesterday and they granted

477
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: this Peyton Manning thing came out on like Saturday night

478
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: or every but I noticed it last night when I

479
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: watched the game that that continued yesterday. So I feel

480
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: like Josh to at least just change that up a

481
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: few times to keep defensive guests. And one here, like

482
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: particularly what Eric had to had to say about that

483
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: take it. Eric, what do you think? Did you hear that? Eric? Yeah?

484
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: I did, and I'm not going to pretend to be

485
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: an expert on that, but I do know that defenses

486
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: are looking for any indicator they can throughout a game.

487
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: I remember we played Kansas City, I believe it was

488
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: under Rex Ryan, and after the game, one of we

489
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: had there was mutual friends amongst the coaching staff, and

490
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: they came up and said they could tell by the

491
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: way Cordy Glenn's feet were lined up on every play

492
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: if it was a run or a pass. So they're

493
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: looking for anything on film, whether Josh has his hands

494
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: in a certain way, how everybody's lined up. Now they're

495
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: on TV copies, you can hear about everything you want to,

496
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: so they're analyzing all of that. But you know, good

497
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: for Peyton Manny for pointing it out. It obviously shows

498
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: he either he has someone really good. Now that I'm

499
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: on this end of the business, I know that this

500
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: could come in two different directions. Either Peyton Manning's really

501
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: paying attention to the league or he's got someone great

502
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: working for him. Either way, it's a pretty good observation. Yeah,

503
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: I know he eats that stuff up, so it wouldn't

504
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: be surprising at all if it was him that actually

505
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: uncovered that, because I've seen things about him going to

506
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: give talks to college coaching staffs, you know, like a

507
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: little kind of impromptu chalkboard session. He did it at

508
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: his alma mater at Tennessee, and the head coach just

509
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 1: wanted him to come in talk to them for like

510
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen minutes. This, that and the other turned

511
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: into a two hour lecture and they said they learned

512
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: more in two hours than they had in the last

513
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: three years. So he's all about that stuff. It's amazing

514
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: that someone hasn't tried to convince him to coach in

515
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: some way, shape or for him, because I think he'd

516
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: be unbelievable at it. Let's go to Bob in Hamburg. Bob,

517
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Thanks for joining the show.

518
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, gentlemen. It's a very exciting game yesterday, and unfortunately,

519
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, I mean the national media's morning on some

520
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: of the shows were they definitely gave the builds or

521
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: credit and Josh Shalen, but of course it comes down

522
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: to the DPI and I guess the Rams start making

523
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: it makes think about it. I read it on a

524
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: couple of LA papers where they're complaining about it, but

525
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: I didn't hear him whining about it. When Jalen Ramsey

526
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: uh incurred the offensive pass in a friends call. I

527
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: think it was in Week one and they ended up losing.

528
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: They end up winning the team because it would have

529
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: been a touchdown pass. And that's unfortunate that a lot

530
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: of these games are coming down to some of these calls.

531
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: I just want to what you guys think about that.

532
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, what goes around comes around. I mean we

533
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: see that all the time, and the Bills have experienced

534
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: that firsthand. I mean, you could argue that that's the

535
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: makeup call for the botch call on the interception that

536
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: was a Tyler Croft catch. So they even sax strip

537
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: fumble that should have been called in a fifteen yard pennel.

538
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: You could slice it a hundred different ways. Unfortunately, the

539
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: national media doesn't watch most of these games from start

540
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: to finish, so they look at what happens in the

541
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: last two minutes and that's what they highlight. And that's

542
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: the most egregious call at the end of the game

543
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: because the other things weren't called, like the horse collar.

544
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: They went by the board, they didn't see a flag

545
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: on the field. So national media looks at and says, oh, yeah,

546
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: Bills were lucky to pull that one out of the fryer.

547
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: So you know, you could slice it a hundred different ways. Yeah,

548
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: hopefully they even out over the course of the year.

549
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: And yes, he's right, Bob is right. They did get

550
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: away with a call in Week one. Jalen Ramsey sold

551
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: a pass interference call and they got the benefit of

552
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: that and they win a field goal game over the

553
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys in Week one. Here's another thing too, and Eric,

554
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: you can speak to this as well. There's no question

555
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: it is a competitive league. The best team in the league,

556
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: and you can say what you want, we can. You know,

557
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: it's all fun for Bills fans with Jets over there

558
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: struggling the way they are and they're you know, they

559
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: can't they're having trouble winning a game, and Miami's just

560
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: getting you know, after they've bought them it. It's all

561
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: fun in games. But let me tell you something, it's

562
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: no joke. When you go into play those teams, it's hard.

563
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: And a lot of these games with teams that are

564
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: very good or pretty good or competitive or whatever, they're

565
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: coming down to the wire. And whenever that happens, the

566
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: league has always been listen, this is the NFL means.

567
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: You call it, it's not hockey. You call it in

568
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in overtime the same way you did

569
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: in the first and second quarter when it was zero zero.

570
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: That's the way the league has always striven to be.

571
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: So when you get to the end of the game,

572
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: and I know there are teams the Baltimore Ravens with

573
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis and John Harbon and those guys are notorious

574
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: when they're on defense in a critical moment. They tell

575
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: their players, you be ultra aggressive, you force the official

576
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: to pull the flag if they're gonna call it, You

577
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: win that play and we'll deal with the aftermath. Because

578
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: they just don't believe that the officials have the gumption

579
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: to make calls that they would have made in the

580
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: first quarter laid in a game when the game's on

581
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: the line, So they coach their players to be ultra

582
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: aggressive in those late game moments, defensively knowing that the

583
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: officials don't want to get involved. It's human nature, So

584
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: you take all into account. It's a close league. You're

585
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: always going to have games that come down to plays

586
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: where guys are desperate to make a play and they

587
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: skirt the rules if the officials want to do their job.

588
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: The league has always been about call it the same

589
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: in overtime as you do early in the first quarter,

590
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: and let's play with those rules, and if you call it,

591
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: let's live with it. If it's a call, even if

592
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: it's a ticky tack call or whatever, if you'd to

593
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: call it, then call it now, let's live with it.

594
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: That's the way the league has always been in Coaches

595
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: and players expect it, and teams coach that way. You know,

596
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: they dare them to throw the flag, and so it's

597
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: as much one way as it is the other. All right,

598
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: we can talk more about this after we take a break,

599
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: because we do have to step aside. But more from

Speaker 1: guy it? Doll good? Good? Hey, I gotta I think

616
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: I gotta christ him up for you. So with the

617
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Crofts passing affairs then called an interception. I was

618
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: confused with watching that play because but that being that

619
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: was not, I guess, as we've all seen, an interception.

620
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: But our playoff game, when the Bills kicked it off

621
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: to the Texans, the returner pitched the ball back to

622
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: the referee, and the referee that's a live ball. He

623
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: pitched it backwards. Referee called that as a touchdown for

624
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: the Bills. Yep, that's three, and all Black came in

625
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: and chames that call. I don't know what that referee

626
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: is called, but there's a few times these last couple

627
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: of years where that rep should have stepped in, except

628
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: not in the Texas game, of course, for example, the

629
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: Saints game in their NFC championship. I'm just saying, like,

630
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: where's that rep now, and why was he able to

631
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: come in on a play where in our playoff game,

632
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: if I rule that's a touchback, it's not the referee

633
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 1: job of the game, and it was a pitchback. Right.

634
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Jesse, Here's here's who that referee is.

635
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: In playoff games, every head coach has an off the

636
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: field official who is usually on a crew as a

637
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: white hat or or a referee in a game. What

638
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: they do is in the playoffs, they put an official

639
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: right next to the head coach, so that head coach

640
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: has an official who sees the game as an official,

641
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: and he can ask that guy questions instead of the

642
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: guy on the field questions, Now, what happened in that

643
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: game in Houston. That guy in black was one of

644
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: those officials, the spare officials that happened to be on

645
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: site for game viewing and management. And they just they

646
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: have more officials on the sidelines so that they can

647
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: talk to coaches explain why the coach the guys on

648
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: the field are calling it the way they do. That

649
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: guy came off the field because New York, the same

650
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: guy who didn't call the pass interference yesterday, chimed in

651
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: and decided arbitrarily just to decide that he didn't want

652
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: that rule to be enforced in that spot. That's the

653
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: playoff game. The guys, the guy in New York called

654
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: down and said, that's not gonna go over, that's not

655
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: gonna fly. We're gonna just wipe that off the board.

656
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: He didn't mean to it. We don't want the We

657
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: don't want a playoff game to have that kind of

658
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: play involved in it. So he just decided to make

659
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: that call. Yeah, but Jesse's point is valid. So where

660
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: where was that guy yesterday? They just called down and decide, Hey,

661
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: that's not an interception, it's a cash tell you that

662
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: it was the same guy. Yeah, Al riverun ridiculous, and

663
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: that's an inconsistency that the league can't have. You can't

664
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: have that kind of inconsistency. But that's what you have,

665
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: um right now. I mean, it's evident, and Jesse pointed

666
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: it out, and we thank you for the call and

667
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: bringing it to our attention, Jesse, So thanks for that.

668
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty one eight eight five

669
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. You can't arbitrarily decide, well, I'm

670
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: gonna call down and fix this one. But I'm not

671
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna call and fix that one. I realized they're watching

672
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: a lot of games in New York and they're gonna

673
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: get buzz from time to time. But this is an

674
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: inconsistency that the league can't have. And this is also

675
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: it's also inconsistent in this respect. He used the h

676
00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: he decided not to overturn the Tyler Crawf reception slash

677
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: interception over because by rule, he's not allowed to do

678
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: anything that he can't see on the video. How can't

679
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: you see on the video? That's a catch because he

680
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: could because they called it because he there's the way,

681
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: the reasoning that the official on the field saw the

682
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: possession change in live and the video doesn't show. So

683
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: by the rule, he can't. He can't overturn it unless

684
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: he sees definitive evidence to the contrary, which in this case,

685
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: but that that's his irrational But if you it transposed

686
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: that onto the Houston kickoff fiasco, that is exactly the

687
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: opposite thing he did. He absolutely had physical evidence, made

688
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: a mistake, and you chose not to go by the

689
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: letter of the law. He violated the league's own process

690
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: that he explained in the pool. That's the whole problem

691
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: with the way that New York is running reversals right

692
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: now and reviews. It's arbitrary, Yeah, which it can't be.

693
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: It has to be committed to process. You can't drive

694
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 1: me crazy. You can't just have the whole thing because

695
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: because what you have now is what you're gonna have,

696
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: Eric is the wild West, and that's eventually. I mean,

697
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: if you're arbitrarity deciding, your consistency is out the window.

698
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: If you want to stick to process, fine, stick to process.

699
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: But we've just brought up an example where alvi Van

700
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: did not do that. So that's a problem. Yeah, absolutely,

701
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: And I think in this sense, in this case, you

702
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: apply the common sense rule at times. You know, with

703
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: the playoff game, that's fine if they didn't want it

704
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: to be decided like that, but and apply the common

705
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: sense rule. Well, the common sense rule should have been

706
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: applied yesterday to the Tyler Croft interception as well then,

707
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: and that's fine. And I'm with you, guys. It's an

708
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: issue because we're sitting around here on Monday and it's

709
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: hijacking the entire conversation in a Bill's win when we

710
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: could be talking about a number of other great things

711
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: they did, but we're focused on the refs. And I

712
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: know we're not the only people in the country talking

713
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: about different games and the officiating. In look, with the

714
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: way football's played, the speed, the violence and everything else,

715
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be questionable calls. But man, when you

716
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: get a review situation like this, let's get it right.

717
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: And let's apply some common sense of these things to

718
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: where we don't have to sit around. You know, I thought, um,

719
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: the block in the back that they called on either

720
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: on winners, I thought that was a terrible call. It

721
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: over again, it hits him on the shoulder and he's

722
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: going flat down the line of scrimmage. Um, I thought

723
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: that was bad. I thought the Mitch Morris holding call

724
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: was bad. Only to me, it seemed like it was

725
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 1: just because it was at the point of attack and

726
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: the Bills are smoking them. That's how it felt in

727
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: my head as I'm watching the game, and so let's

728
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: apply some common sense. But I but look, look, I

729
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: go back, that's fine. Those are bang bang calls. They happen.

730
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: They're not being reviewed. It happens. But something that's viewed. Man,

731
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: let's get that right so that we don't sit here

732
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: on a day like today and let it spoil that

733
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: should be a positive, great conversation about a Bill's come back. Whin. Yeah,

734
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones. We'll go to Kyle

735
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: and Albany, who I think has something different to talk about. So, Kyle,

736
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: what do you have for us here? Thanks for joining us. Hey, guys,

737
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: not too bad. Hey, yeah, great game last night, Oh yesterday,

738
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: I got all the silly question. I guess. Let me

739
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: just first take back what you guys are saying. With

740
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: the amount of money in the NFL and they're sponsoring gambling,

741
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: you see in every commercial, you cannot make bad calls

742
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: like that and not overturn them. There's way too much

743
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: money being shifted hands. Now. It was fine ten years

744
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: ago when you weren't allowing gambling, but now we are.

745
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: You can't blow those kind of calls, and if you do,

746
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: you got to correct it immediately. But now to my more,

747
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: I guess, funny, I guess I'm a little superstitious when

748
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: I watch Bills games. I mean, who isn't. When it

749
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: was third and twenty something at the end of the game,

750
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: I looked at the sky and I go, why, why

751
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: do you have to do this to me every time? Why?

752
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: Ahead is Stevie Johnson moment? Yeah, And then and then

753
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: we got fewteen yards of like, oh okay, all right,

754
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: we got a shot. And then I go, if you

755
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: do this, I'll give you four weekends. I'll give you

756
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: four weekends. I'll go Salay or Sunday, I'll go if

757
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: you if you do this for me, you'll go to church.

758
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: Is that what we're talking about here? Yeah? Yeah, Okay.

759
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: The man in the sky, I don't know if it

760
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: was God or anybody. Okay, but then the DPI happened,

761
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: and then a touchdown happened and my jaw dropped them.

762
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: I got was I just spoken to all Right? You're

763
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: going to church, buddy? Right? It sounds like it's to me.

764
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: Ain't good for you? You'll be better, You'll be a

765
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: better man for it. You're right. I M one of

766
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 1: the things I was. I've been hooting about this horse

767
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: caller thing. So my, my guy, Eric, would you did

768
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: some research and you're right. The quarterback doesn't get the

769
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: benefit of the horse callar tacker while he's in the pocket.

770
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: That's perfectly legal. Legal. Um, you can make a case. Oh,

771
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things about these plays we're called.

772
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: You can make a case. He was in the grasp

773
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: and he swung him around and then the ball came out.

774
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna blow that whistle dead and protect

775
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback, that play should have been thrown dead halfway

776
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: through the one hundred and eighty degree spin that he did.

777
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: The second one on the pass interference call down towards

778
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: the goal line, the call that the Rams are complaining

779
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: about today. It was holding and the only reason it

780
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: was plastic. It was illegal contact deep down the contact

781
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: it was also it was also holding, and the reason

782
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: it was pass interference at the end was because the

783
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: ball was in the air. That turns it into pass interference.

784
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: So it was illegal contact down the field. It was

785
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: holding at the top of the stem, and then because

786
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: the ball had been thrown it was pass interference. So

787
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: you can take your pick at any one of those,

788
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: but it was a penalty. Yeah, Eric, before we go

789
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: to break, let's talk about something else besides the officiating.

790
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: The run game got some more attraction this week. I

791
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: thought Devin Singletary had a really good game, not just

792
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: from a rushing perspective, but catching balls out of the backfield.

793
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: He finishes with one hundred and twenty one totary yards

794
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: from scrimmage on a day where they did not have

795
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: Zack Moss. Just your thoughts about maybe the progress that

796
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: you felt the run game made in yesterday's contest. Yeah,

797
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: I thought the last two weeks the Bills run game

798
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 1: was effective and as this team trends more towards riding

799
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: the back of Josh Allen week to week in the

800
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: amount of weapons that they have in the receiving game,

801
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: it may trend less and less towards away from the

802
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: ground and pound that we've seen here maybe over the

803
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: last five or six years in Buffalo, ever since Rex

804
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: Ryan came along, and then even early in Josh Allen's career,

805
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: the Bills were primarily a rushing team, ranking better at

806
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: the end of the season and running than they were

807
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: passing the ball. But what I like what the Bills

808
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: are doing offensively right now in the run game is

809
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: these last two weeks that running backs are getting over

810
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: five yards to carry. Last week, Zack Moss was over

811
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: five yards of carry, Devin Singletary over six yards of carry.

812
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: Yesterday Devin Singletary five and a half yards to carry.

813
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: I also thought he was tremendous in the passing game. Man.

814
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: He was able to miss, make guys miss in space

815
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: and do what he does best. So for me, you know,

816
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about how many yards necessarily the Bills

817
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: have rushing at the end of the game. If the

818
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: Bills running backs can be over five yards to carry,

819
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: that's going to continue to keep defenses honest and that's

820
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: an effective day for the offensive line up front. All right,

821
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. But when we come back,

822
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: the one thing we want to ask Eric. It's three

823
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: games now, is this clearly a philosophical shift on offense.

824
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: I think we know the answer, but we're gonna ask

825
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: him anyway, because this is a much different looking offense

826
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: than we've seen in a long long time. Six receivers

827
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: up every single week, you have three and four on

828
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: the field consistently. We'll talk about that philosophical shift. Next

829
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

830
00:42:45,640 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Now the snap John's gonna

831
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: throw It looks looks fires into the end zone. He's

832
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 1: got Tyler Croft open techdown, touchdown, touchdown, Buffalo touchdown. Bills

833
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: up for your thoughts, got Chavinth and Tyler Kroft. Fifteen

834
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: seconds left on the clock are hitting me. No, We're

835
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: not kidding you. Hunt Red Zone. That's the Hunt Red

840
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,479
Speaker 1: on a Bill's victory Monday, and Eric, as I said

841
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: before the break, you touched on this a little bit,

842
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: I think a little bit earlier, but I wanted to

843
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of get you to elaborate on it. What we've

844
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: seen from Brian Dable in this offense the first three weeks,

845
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: I think is in stark contrast to anything we've seen

846
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: in a long time. You may have to go all

847
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: the way back to your days of playing with Chan

848
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: before we get to anything that closely resembles what we're

849
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: seeing here from this Bill's offense and the passing game.

850
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: Is this a major philosophical shift? And is this the

851
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: identity of this team? Can we make that declaration after

852
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: three games? Yeah? Absolutely, they've made a philosophical switch. They

853
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: have weapons at the wide receiver position that can consistently

854
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: get open, and through three weeks they got a quarterback

855
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: that can deliver. I still think they will run the

856
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: football a decent amount. They will continue to give Isaiah

857
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: McKenzie some jet sweep, some shovel pass or whatever those

858
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: end up looking like. I think Devin Singletary and Zach

859
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: Moss continue to play a role for the Bills. T

860
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: J Yelden had one effective run for the Bills yesterday

861
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: as well, so I think they'll stick with the game

862
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: on the ground as well to keep teams honest. But

863
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: the Bills are fourth in the NFL right now and

864
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: play acts are passing the ball in first down? When

865
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: have they ever been even close to that? And you know,

866
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: it takes a quarterback that you have a lot of

867
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: confidence in to be able to make those decision Jians

868
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: knowing that you don't want to end up at second

869
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: and ten, you don't want to have too many turnovers,

870
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. But yes, the Bill seem

871
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: to have definitely made a philosophical switch on offense. Here,

872
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones and squeezing. A phone

873
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: called Glenn from Niagara Falls has been waiting a little bit,

874
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: So Glenn, thanks for joining us. What do you have?

875
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: I just like to discuss Tremaine Edmonds with you. Emily

876
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: and friends are tired of me bitching about him constantly,

877
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: but all I see from him is him floating and plays,

878
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: him taking bad angles when it comes to trying to

879
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: tackle and not engaging and missing tackles. Besides, so I

880
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: think Bean might have made a bad choice there. I

881
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: think he's time for maybe cut bait because I've gat

882
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: of years now and it doesn't seem like he's getting

883
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: any better. Well, and you're not watching enough, you're and

884
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: you're yeah, you're wrong. You went to the Pro Bowl

885
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: last year and you're wrong, Glenn, You're not. I don't

886
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: know if you don't know what you're looking at, or

887
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: whether you got a chip on your shoulder, or where

888
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: they expect him to make every single play that's snapped,

889
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: You're just you're wrong. Now, I will say this, I

890
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: thought yesterday it was clear to me anyway that he

891
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: was playing at less than one hundred percent. And what

892
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: convinced me of that was at the very end of

893
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: the game, the last touchdown that the Rams scored, when

894
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: he had to meet that guy on the edge and

895
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: he lowered his bum shoulder and if you watched him

896
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: after the play, you could tell he was not right.

897
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: And I think that shoulder was killing him. And I

898
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: think he just gutted his way through yesterday's game. So

899
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: we did not get the Tremaine Edmonds we are used

900
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: to seeing. But I'll tell you one thing, I'll take

901
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: it in seventy five eighty percent, Tremaine Edmonds over a

902
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: lot of other guys at one hundred percent. Guns. According

903
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: to Glenn, he stinks when he's healthy. Yeah, I don't know.

904
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people have said they said, you know,

905
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: the guy should be an outside linebacker. He shouldn't be

906
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: there where he's playing. And to be very honest with you,

907
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: I don't get that kind of talk. The guy is

908
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: of finale. He's no, he's everything they wanted to be more. Eric,

909
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: he's getting better. Eric. Your thoughts on him and how

910
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,479
Speaker 1: he looked out there yesterday though, I mean, he looked

911
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: like less than one hundred percent to me, I don't

912
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: know how he looked to you. Yeah, I think so.

913
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: I think you're right with that, Chris. I know it's

914
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: the same thing after the touchdown as well. So to me,

915
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: you commend guys like that that are willing to go

916
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: out there when they're not one hundred percent, because there'd

917
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: be a lot of people that are former players, guys

918
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: that are mentors to these guys that will say, hey,

919
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: especially in your first contract, you don't go out there

920
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: unless you're one hundred percent because all your tape could

921
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: be judged they could use that against you in a

922
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: contract negotiation down the road, whatever it may be. I

923
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: credit Tremaine Edmonds at such a young age to be

924
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: able to make the decision to go out there and

925
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: put it on the line for his teammates, because that

926
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: earned you respect in this league. And I know he's

927
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: a guy that the Bills will target long term to

928
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: keep him within the organization. They are super proud of

929
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: that draft pick, you know, going against what Glenn said.

930
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: Not only do the Bills not think they didn't miss

931
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: with Tremaine Edmonds, they're thrilled they got him when they

932
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: did in the draft, and at such a young age,

933
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: he's emerged as a leader within this team. Um. We

934
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: had him live in studio last year on One Bill's Live.

935
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: When I was on set, I couldn't get over how

936
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: mach sure he was for a twenty one year old

937
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: last year. UM. Just remarkable. Uh. Just And he's a

938
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: guy through my ACC Network job, I've gotten to spend

939
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: some time around the Virginia Tech program and he's a

940
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: guy that represents their university or sorry they hate being

941
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: called that their institute. Uh. Extremely well, and you could

942
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: have been more spot on and I appreciate you sticking

943
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: up for him so fast. Steve there, Yeah, well that's

944
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: a little ridiculous guy. I mean, the guy's in the minority,

945
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: and and his group is one from there's there's always

946
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: a handful of people who don't like whatever player you

947
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: can name there. I mean, there's still people on the

948
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,959
Speaker 1: Josh Allen that they're still rooting against him. You know, Aaron,

949
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: you can name out every player you want. Because the

950
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: game is so widely watches, you're always gonna have at

951
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: least some people who who think the guy stinks. So

952
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: I get it, But I'm telling you you're you're hard

953
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: pressed to find people who if Glenn call him cut bait,

954
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: you cut him. He'll be starting against you next week. Right,

955
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: last one for you, Eric, before we got to let

956
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: you go the third quarter. It's been a little bit

957
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: of a bugaboo for this team, not only this year,

958
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 1: it's happened in past years under coach McDermott. I don't

959
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: know what happens. You know, these coaches are very good

960
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 1: at making adjustments. We've seen this this coaching staff work

961
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: adjustments and improve the performance within the course of a

962
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: game very successfully. But something something's not clicking there in

963
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: the third quarter, whether it's defense or sometimes offense too

964
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: this year. So what do you put your finger on,

965
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,479
Speaker 1: if anything, with regard to these lulls that we've seen

966
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: in the third quarter of games. It's it's hard to

967
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: put your finger on one thing. Because the Bills start

968
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: off the game tremendously and they're ending the game tremendously

969
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: right now, and they do have this law on the

970
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: third quarter. It was something I paid close attention to

971
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: yesterday and the Rams scored their first touchdown in the

972
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: third quarter. Well, then the Bills scored as well, and

973
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 1: I said, well, at least they scored as well, and

974
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: it's a seven seven tie, and then they give up

975
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: another touchdown, and it's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is.

976
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're putting some thought into it

977
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: before the game and now they're kind of thinking it

978
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: into existence, like oh, here we go again. But what

979
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: I love, and I know this switches the topic and

980
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: people will call it rosy colored glasses maybe, but I

981
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: love the fact that despite their struggles in the third quarter,

982
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: they aren't losing any confidence when it comes to the

983
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and you blow a lead like you did yesterday,

984
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: be so easy. And how many times have we seen

985
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: the Bills get that final drive or any team get

986
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: that final drive? And now it's obvious pass rush situations.

987
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: You get in the fourth down, you're getting that third

988
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 1: and twenty five, whatever it may be, and you're done.

989
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: I love that they're finding ways to win. I love

990
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: that they're xation of winning is exactly where Sean McDermott

991
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: wanted it to get when he took over in twenty seventeen.

992
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: And that is, no matter what, matter who you're playing,

993
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: the matter the circumstances, you always expect to win. And

994
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: now after they've been exposed to enough wins, after you

995
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: make the playoffs two out of three times in your

996
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,959
Speaker 1: first three years, now they're going into games not only

997
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: expecting to win. When something bad happens, it doesn't crumble you.

998
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: They band together and they get the job done. One

999
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: thing as well, we've seen Sean McDermott from the from

1000
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: his first days as head coach here in Buffalo and

1001
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: then assembling the staff the way he did, the structure

1002
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: of the of the roster, everything has been extremely methodical,

1003
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: trading up to get their quarterback, getting a defensive centerpiece

1004
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: and an offensive centerpiece, you know, just everything. But there

1005
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: is one thing that has been their buggaboo, and it

1006
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: is coming out of the second half, in the third

1007
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: quarter of these games. I think would I would I

1008
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: would put this probably with on Sean McDermott and that

1009
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: coaching staff in summer because it looks systemic to me,

1010
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: it looks it looks like it happens too regularly not

1011
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: to be a thing. And I think it right and

1012
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: how to get out of it now? And I know

1013
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: this too, And I've spoken to Sean as much as anybody.

1014
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a growth mindset. They're looking at it.

1015
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: They are looking at it hard. Are they go why

1016
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: is it happening? And is it happening for the same

1017
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: reason every week? Is it happening the same way every week?

1018
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: Is it us? Is it them? Is it the coaching

1019
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: staff or is it the players? Is it our opponent

1020
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: or is it the venue is at home? Is it

1021
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: a way? They are looking at this in every way,

1022
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: shape or form they can. But if it's systemic, they're

1023
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: going to root it out and get to the bottom

1024
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: of it if they can. But to me, it does

1025
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: look like that it looks like their routine, their halftime protocols,

1026
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: whatever it is, they got to examine. And I'm sure

1027
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: they have and I'm sure they are saying why why Yeah,

1028
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: and they've got They're trying to find the answers, just

1029
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: like we're asking. And Eric, thanks very much for your time.

1030
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: We actually ran over, so thanks for giving us a

1031
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: few extra minutes. We appreciate it, and we'll catch up

1032
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: with you later in the week. We know you'll be

1033
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: back on Bills tonight this weekend with Maddy Glabs, so

1034
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: we'll look for you there as well, and we know

1035
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: you'll be chopping wood for us here this week on

1036
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 1: The Sean McDermott Show. Absolutely, I'm looking forward to all

1037
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: of it. I wish we were traveling as an organization

1038
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: out in Vegas this weekend. One thing I definitely want

1039
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: to ask. One thing I want to ask McDermott about

1040
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: in the pregame show for The Sean McDermot Show is

1041
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: do you have more peace going to Las Vegas now?

1042
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: Traveling in a bubble? Essentially? Oh yeah, if there wasn't

1043
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: COVID times, what could potentially happen if it wasn't complete

1044
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: lockdown in Vegas. Yeah, that's that's a yes with a

1045
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: capital Why so I can only thanks very much Eric

1046
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: for the time. We'll catch up with you next week.

1047
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: That's Eric Wood joining us here on A Bill's Victory

1048
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: Monday and Steve. The third quarter will be something that

1049
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: this coaching staff will be looking at because you said

1050
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: it's it's happening too regularly. Doesn't look right and it

1051
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: doesn't look right on paper either. They're being outscored in

1052
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: the third quarter. This team that is like in the

1053
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: top five in scoring is getting outscored in the third

1054
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 1: quarter twenty four to seven for three games. So you

1055
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: know they're on it. They don't miss stuff like that.

1056
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,919
Speaker 1: So hopefully they come up with a solution and they're

1057
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: more effective in the third quarter going forward. We do

1058
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: have to take a break. We are late for that,

1059
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: but when we come back, more of your phone calls

1060
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: and we'll go around the locker room as we'll hear

1061
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: from some of the players. After the thrilling victory on Monday,

1062
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: it's One Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health. This

1063
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radioalo Bills Radio Network scoring some date

1064
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: your sports update from One Bill's Drive. The Bills now

1065
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: three and oz on the season. Following Sunday's thirty five

1066
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: thirty two heart stopping win over the Rams. Josh Allen

Speaker 1: with his third straight three hundred yard passing day, throwing

1068
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: for three hundred eleven yards and four touchdowns. He now

1069
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: has ten passing touchdowns two rushing touchdowns on the season,

1070
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: becoming the first quarterback in NFL history with ten plus

1071
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns and two or more rushing touchdowns in his team's

1072
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: first three games of a season. Back on the road

1073
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: next week for the Bills as they head to Las

1074
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: Vegas to take on two and one Raiders. Speaking of

1075
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders, they suffered their first loss of the season

1076
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: to the Patriots on Sunday. Rex Burke had had three

1077
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns for New England and Sony Michelle paced the rushing

1078
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: attack with one hundred and seventeen yards. New England now

1079
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 1: two and one on the year. The Jets woes continued

1080
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: in their latest blowout Laws. Sam Darnel threw three picks

1081
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: as the Colts blew out the Jets thirty six to seven.

1082
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 1: Indie now as back to back victories. The Russell Wilson

1083
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: verse Dak Prescott duel was as advertised, Wilson through five touchdowns,

1084
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: giving him fourteen for the season. That's the most in

1085
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: NFL history through three games. As the Seahawks outdueled the

1086
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys thirty eight thirty one. Dak Prescott through for four

1087
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two yards and three touchdowns, becoming only

1088
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: the second QB to throw for more than four hundred

1089
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: and fifty passing yards in consecutive games, joining Jamis Winston.

1090
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: Tonight a battle between two of the best offenses in

1091
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. The two and O Chiefs head to Baltimore

1092
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: to take on the two and O Ravens Monday Night

1093
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: Football tonight on ESPN and on WGR Sports Radio five

1094
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: fifty at eight fifteen pm. Game six in the Stanley

1095
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: Cup Finals tonight. Thanks to a double overtime victory on

1096
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: Saturday by Dallas to force tonight's game, the Stars are

1097
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 1: still alive. However, they still trail three games to two

1098
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 1: in the best to seven series against the Lightning team

1099
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: that's a perfect six and oz in games following a

1100
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 1: loss in this year's playoffs, and finally, the NBA Finals

1101
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,479
Speaker 1: are now set. The heat advancing after their one twenty

1102
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: five one thirteen series clinching win over the Celtics they

1103
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: faced the Lakers. Game one is Wednesday night. That is

1104
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: your sports update, man. That was allot to get to

1105
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: a ton of sports going on, more than usual because

1106
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: you got hockey and basketball going on right now. It's

1107
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: how about how about Lebron tenth straight or NBA finals

1108
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: of his career? Yeah? Yeah, how many different teams? Three? Three?

1109
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: That's correct, Cleveland, Cleveland once and then Cleveland again on

1110
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: his second stint and obviously won a couple of titles

1111
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: in Miami, and I was now he's out in LA.

1112
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Michael Jordan fan, but man, old man,

1113
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: Lebron's in that conversation. Yeah, I hated Michael Jordan growing

1114
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: because he did because my mix couldn't get past him. Ever,

1115
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: and they're certainly not doing anything anytimes different. They are

1116
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: congratulations of the Lakers and the Heat for getting to

1117
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: the finals. All right. It is that time in the

1118
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: show on a Monday after a victory where we go

1119
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 1: around the locker room and we're gonna do that thanks

1120
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: to connect Life, the Blood and organ Donor Network. So

1121
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,479
Speaker 1: we begin and we'll do that with Sean McDermott as

1122
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: he talked about the lesson learned in this Bill's victory

1123
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: over the Rams. On the surface, it's it's that the

1124
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: NFL is a tough it's a tough lead to win

1125
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: no matter what the score is, to keep playing. And

1126
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: again I get credit. I don't think our guys, I

1127
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: don't think it was a matter of just of us

1128
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: stopping playing. It was more if they were executing, executing

1129
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: at a higher level than we were. Like we were

1130
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: in the first half. We out executed them in the

1131
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: first half. They probably i'll executed us in the second

1132
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: half and then came down to the one drive. And

1133
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: that's why we practice the way we do. And then

1134
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: we've got Josh Allen talking about what he took away

1135
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,439
Speaker 1: from this comeback victory. Once again, Steve we talked about

1136
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: how self aware he is as a quarterback. So here's

1137
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: Josh on what he pulled out of the victory, which

1138
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: was one that he pulled out of the fire. Oh well,

1139
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need a nice path tomorrow. That's a really

1140
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: good Rams defense that we just played. They got after us.

1141
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: Um they're in the third and fourth quarter, you know,

1142
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: going up twenty to three. UM as a team, we

1143
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: gotta be better. We got to make sure that we're

1144
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: keeping our foot on the pedal and we gotta play

1145
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: that game away. Um. You know, I'm very happy with

1146
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: how we was doing. This team was, but I'm also

1147
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: a little little mad at myself for allowing us to

1148
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of dip right there. Not you know, like we

1149
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: should have I put the ball on harms away too often. Um.

1150
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: By the end of the day, we got a victory

1151
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: and that's all I care about. And then just to

1152
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: follow up the role that Cole played for you on

1153
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: that final drive, I mean casting on that huge third

1154
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: and twenty two for you. I think he had three

1155
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: catches for fifty nine yards on that last drive. Just

1156
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: the job he did for you there. Yeah, I mean Coles.

1157
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: Cole's never the guy to want the ball right away.

1158
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: He's not going to ask for it. Um. He wants

1159
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: to do his job, and of course he wants the

1160
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: ball in his hands when when the game's on the line. Um.

1161
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: He's obviously the most consistent guy, Like he knows he's

1162
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,959
Speaker 1: probably not gonna get that. Men, he touches um per game,

1163
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: but he's still he works his tail off. He's where

1164
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be um and I'll tell you what,

1165
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: he's a He's a shifty little sucker. He's hard to cover.

1166
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: I love him, I love this team, and um, you know,

1167
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: proud of how we finished that game. Tyler Croft obviously

1168
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: had a gigantic performance filling in for Dawson Knox and

1169
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: a guy who had a rough first season here in Buffalo.

1170
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: Do mainly the injury as his you know, his role

1171
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: was actually lost because he wasn't available on the field,

1172
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: and Dawson Knox emerged as a rookie kind of took

1173
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: the starting job. Carry that into this year. But now

1174
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: the shoes on the other foot, Dawson Knox and concussion protocol,

1175
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft with a chance to emerge, and boy did

1176
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: he do that on Sunday with four catches for twenty

1177
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: four yards, two of them going for touchdowns, including the

1178
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: game winner with fifteen seconds left. So here's Tyler on

1179
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: overcoming obstacles with his career here in Buffalo. Yeah, obviously

1180
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: there's a motion that's been brought into this rebreaking my

1181
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: foot and then blowing out my other ankles. So I mean,

1182
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: playing on two bad feet last year. It was just

1183
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff to overcome personally, But I've

1184
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: always been taught you come to work every day ready

1185
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: to go, and you handle your opportunities when they come.

1186
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Then Tree here basically handle your business like a pro.

1187
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: So I'm just happy I was in the position to

1188
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: make a play today. What did it mean to see

1189
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: your teammates respond the way that they did when you

1190
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: scored that touchdown? Yeah, I mean that's awesome. We got

1191
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: a lot of love for each other in this locker room,

1192
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot of really competitive guys, and uh, we know

1193
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: when that juice gets going, like it's just it's awesome

1194
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: seeing that. And then we have two linebackers who returned

1195
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: to the lineup yesterday, Matt Milano Tremaine Edmonds. Milano looked

1196
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: to be closer to one hundred percent in that game

1197
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: than Edmonds did, who still still dealing with a bum shoulder,

1198
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: but they did both get through it as best they could.

1199
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: So Matt Milano here in his return to action, talking

1200
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,479
Speaker 1: about finding inner motivation during the game with the Rams

1201
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: when some things were going the wrong way. It's definitely tough,

1202
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, no fans to get get us energized. So

1203
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: I was trying to find our own motivation to go

1204
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: out there and then we need somebody to step up

1205
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: and make a play. So I think the biggest thing

1206
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: is just just keeping our foot on the pedal. We

1207
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: came out hot the first half, came out hot the

1208
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: second half with them and kind of let it let

1209
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: up a little bit, um let some points out. So

1210
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: we've got to take advantage we're on the field whatever

1211
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: we can to not let them score and get in

1212
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: that position. And so here's Tremaine Edmonds on a very

1213
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: similar subject as we get the perspective of both of

1214
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: these linebackers in their return to action. I think it

1215
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: was a great none and experience for us, and I

1216
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: think that's something that we needed, you know, because I

1217
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: mean names of Malcolm always be perfect, and you know

1218
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: today was a true testament to that and just standing

1219
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: together as a team and finally the way to get

1220
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: the job done. And now taking my hat on to

1221
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: those guys, man, because you know, we got a lot

1222
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: of guys with the right mind saying, you know, we

1223
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: didn't we never broke. You know, we got vent up

1224
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, but we never broke. So this is

1225
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: a true testament to the guys we got here on

1226
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: the team and Finally, Cole Beasley, who was huge on

1227
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: that final drive three catches fifty nine yards and converted

1228
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: a third and twenty two among others. And he's commenting

1229
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: on how Josh was in the huddle and how he

1230
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: was on that final drive. This is this quarterback is

1231
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,919
Speaker 1: just a guy that these guys play for. Here's Cole

1232
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: on that. I mean, I'm cool with that man. The

1233
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: guy wants to win. He's got a lot of fire

1234
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: in him, and that spreads throughout the team. You know,

1235
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: we feel that. And you know, anytime you got a

1236
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: guy like that, you're gonna run. You're gonna run through

1237
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: a wall form. I mean, he's a dog, and you

1238
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: know you love that out of a quarterback because there's

1239
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: not many quarterbacks like that. You know, a lot of

1240
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: them shy away from the physicality of the game, and

1241
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 1: he does not. He's just he's just a ball and

1242
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: a grinder. So you know, we'll put everything on the

1243
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: line for him. I'll put my body on the line,

1244
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: forum because I know who did the same. That's the

1245
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from this entire game for me, Steve number one,

1246
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: the demeanor of this team when things were going sideways,

1247
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: because Mitch Moore's talked about this after the game. He said,

1248
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: we were calm on the sidelines, and coach always tells

1249
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: us calm, breeds calm, and everybody was just quietly confident

1250
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: that we're gonna get it fixed and we'll find a

1251
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,919
Speaker 1: way to win the game. Now, when your quarterback's playing

1252
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: out of his mind, that certainly helps with the confidence level.

1253
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: But at the same time, what's to be said when

1254
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback who's competitive, fire is something that

1255
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: as a teammate you can see and feel, because that's

1256
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: how Josh Allen plays this game. What does that do

1257
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: for the other guys on the field when the chips

1258
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: are down? Well, you know how important the position is.

1259
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: He's got the ball in his hands every time of

1260
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: your offense is on the field, so and he sets

1261
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: the tone, He makes all the decisions, he decides who

1262
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: gets the ball, who, you know, what's checks to make

1263
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,919
Speaker 1: You know, the whole team takes its que from him

1264
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: all the time on every play, whether he's a leader

1265
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: or not. But if you've got a guy who's a leader,

1266
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: and then you're turnaround, you're out here, you're trying to

1267
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: play hard, You're trying to get your job done. You're

1268
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: competing against really good players on the other side of

1269
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: the ball, and you turn around and you see your

1270
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: quarterback who is just fighting tooth and nail on every play.

1271
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's taking shots, he's making throws, he's scrambling,

1272
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: he's grabbing guys by their face mask and tossing him around.

1273
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: He's taking penalties, he's he's you know, he's doing all

1274
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: this stuff, right. I mean, he's just he's in a

1275
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean, there were a couple of throws Josh Allen

1276
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: made after it looked like he was the drunk guy

1277
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: at the bar and they were ever There's like six

1278
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: guys trying to get him subdued and he was not

1279
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: having it. And that's what he looked like. So you're

1280
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: turn around and everybody's looking around seeing him. He's sad,

1281
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: that's right, he's you turn around, see that guy doing that.

1282
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: He's like, Okay, you know I'm drunk too, Let's go.

1283
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: And that look strong. I guess yeah. You know some

1284
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: guys that get drunk and they're like ten times as

1285
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: strong as they usually are and their praying threshold goes away.

1286
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: That's you know, you turn around that you got that

1287
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: kind of guy on your team and you're gonna say, listen,

1288
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm in it with you, let's go, I'm helping you. Uh.

1289
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: It's it's that kind of play where they're trying to

1290
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: subdu him. He's he's not gonna lose any throws it away.

1291
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: It's just a couple of those things where it's just

1292
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's not going down, he's not giving up.

1293
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 1: And if he's doing that, I you know, I'm bringing

1294
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,959
Speaker 1: it too. And that's how that kind of thing elevates

1295
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the roster. Yeah, because I asked him

1296
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: that first question after the game. I said, where's your

1297
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: stress level at with with these games and you know,

1298
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: having to do these fourth quarter comebacks, but how do

1299
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: you handle it all this? And his first comment was

1300
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need ice pass tomorrow. Yeah. But it's also

1301
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: true that you know he's the we saw this even

1302
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,439
Speaker 1: last year and early in his career. He embraces that. Oh,

1303
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: no question, he embraces No, you gotta be that. You

1304
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: you look at basketball guys who want the ball at

1305
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,479
Speaker 1: the end of the game. You want guys with that mindset. Listen,

1306
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: if we're gonna win this, I want to be a

1307
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: part of it. Give me the ball, give me a

1308
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: chance to contribute, give me a chance to be the guy,

1309
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: give me a chance to you know, I don't want

1310
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: to just sit here and watch you guys win this

1311
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: for I want to win it too. Let's go. You

1312
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: need that mindset when you're in a situation like that

1313
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: and when you're calm about it. Man, oh man, that's

1314
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: it's perfect because you're gonna you're not gonna go in

1315
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: there and just go out of the water. Yeah exactly.

1316
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: And you're calm and you said, this is this is

1317
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to do, this is our time. Let's go,

1318
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: And it's a great mindset to have. Josh Allen seems

1319
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: to thrive in those moments, and he's that kind of

1320
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 1: competitive We've watching highlights on MSG. Uh you know that's

1321
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: the kind of thing. Yeah, Yeah, that's like, yeah, I'm

1322
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: in let's go. I'll jump in that with you. And

1323
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: that's you know, I played with guys like that, yep.

1324
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: And that's why you look for that trait and as

1325
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: many players as you can find it in on your team.

1326
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: All right. So that is around the locker room, brought

1327
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: to you by Connect life Blood and organ Donor Network,

1328
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: So thanks to them for that. We do have to

1329
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,479
Speaker 1: get back to the phones and we're gonna go all

1330
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: the way down to the Constitution State. We're going to

1331
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: John and Connecticut. Who's joining us here on the show? John?

1332
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Hey? Thanks guys, what

1333
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 1: a great, great show on a day like this. Uh.

1334
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Two two quick things. Uh well, I mean I've been

1335
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: have bills first, first Bill quarterback. I remembers Joe Ferguson.

1336
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I know guys like Gary you look down the street

1337
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: from you while I was in New York. Uh, what

1338
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: the treat is to have a guy like this who

1339
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: not only you know. I saw something on Twitter yesterday

1340
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: thirty one career starts, ten career comeback victories. I mean,

1341
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. And after the game, he's basically taking blame

1342
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: for the comeback, saying I couldn't keep my offense on

1343
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: the field and nothing give defense enough time to recover.

1344
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: So he's taken up supplied touchdowns and he's taken the

1345
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: blame for the comeback, not to be the dead horse.

1346
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: But I'm going to do this real quick. You know,

1347
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: we we we've gone over in nauseum about the interception

1348
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: that wasn't overturned. But if you if you just look

1349
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:25,839
Speaker 1: at the same game, they couldn't have enough visual evidence

1350
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: overturned the interception which I certainly saw just completion. They

1351
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: overturned the call the touchdown catch to Digs, which I

1352
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: unless they have a different review than I do, I

1353
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: couldn't one hundred percent say he didn't catch the ball

1354
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: and the and the call on the field was touchdown,

1355
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: and they had enough visual evidence to say that hit

1356
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: the ground and he didn't catch it, and and it was close.

1357
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: It might not have caught up, but it was certainly

1358
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent, but they had vert Riverden't or

1359
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: whatever his name, has had enough visual evidence to overturn that,

1360
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: but not the interception. It's just crazy. It's crazy. I'll

1361
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: say it. You know, you're right. I get you, John,

1362
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: here's one of the things that's that's a plus about that,

1363
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: and I get and I for me, I was like,

1364
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 1: all right, Kenny, you're right. It does get washed away

1365
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: because the Bill scored like what three touchdown touchdowns on

1366
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: that and got the last one counted. So their red

1367
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 1: zone offense was clicking on all cylinders yesterday. They you know,

1368
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 1: they and they got they got three touchdowns, two of

1369
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: which didn't count. Then they got the touchdown to Tyler

1370
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Cross or to Lee Smith, two touchdowns to Tyler Craft.

1371
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: They were five of five. Now they were seven of

1372
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: seven in red zone TD possessions this day, and two

1373
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: of them got called back because one you know of

1374
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 1: you say, I mean, yeah, you can say they weren't

1375
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: seven of seven because two of them didn't count. But

1376
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: the competitive nature of it, they scored those touchdowns they

1377
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: had to look back at and say, oh no, it

1378
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 1: didn't count. So all of that stuff put. Their red

1379
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 1: zone offense is a beast. And the one reason it

1380
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: is is the same reason their offense has been clicking

1381
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: this year like no other is because Josh his lead

1382
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: to run the ball down close really gives the defense

1383
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: problems they got to think about and it opens up

1384
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 1: other aspects of the game. And that's so they are.

1385
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Their red zone offense has been so much better this

1386
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 1: year than it was a year ago because of the

1387
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: weapons they have at their disposal and because they got

1388
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,759
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can run physical. Back to the phones

1389
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: and to Carl and Clarence, Carl, what do you have

1390
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: for us? Thanks for joining the program. Oh my pleasure,

1391
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 1: because are good, well, my imagination, are good? The defense

1392
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: seem pretty gift in that fourth quarter, and even the

1393
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 1: third quarter they were they were unquestionably tired. We actually

1394
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: talked to Eric what about this in the last hour.

1395
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because the tempo at which

1396
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: the Rams run their offense. Number one, they run you

1397
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: side to side, sideline to sideline. With their horizontal pre

1398
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: snap motion. They stretch the defense horizontally and then exploit

1399
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: gaps north to south. And not only that, and you

1400
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: may have noticed this watching the game yesterday, Carl, but

1401
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: they'll get a play, let's say it's second and ten,

1402
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 1: they'll get seven yards, they'll run up to the line,

1403
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: quick snap it and then get let the next three

1404
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 1: yards they need for a fresh set of downs. We've

1405
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,919
Speaker 1: seen New England do this and put that into practice.

1406
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: The Rams do it even more often than New England

1407
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: does now, where they'll hurry up to the line. I

1408
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: saw it on tape with the first two games we

1409
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 1: watched from the Rams season. And what that does is

1410
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 1: number one, it catches the defense off guard. Number two,

1411
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't give him a chance to catch their breath.

1412
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: And I know Steve and you know the nineties Bills

1413
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: when they were running that no huddle offense, they were

1414
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: wearing defenses out. The Rams do it, maybe not to

1415
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: quite the degree that you guys did, but it has

1416
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 1: a similar effect, and we saw it yesterday. Yeah, in

1417
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: the nineties they Jim would come out and run that

1418
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: so fat they would get gassed within a series. But

1419
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, in your conditioning as a football player, they

1420
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,919
Speaker 1: could go off and watch their offense play for a series.

1421
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 1: They would recover. Yeah, catch their breath. This is like

1422
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 1: trying to play while you're continuously running a wind sprint

1423
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: and you know after you run, you know, four plays

1424
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 1: in a row. Football players are quick explosion, then rest, explosion,

1425
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 1: then rest. And if you explode, explode, explode without getting

1426
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: any rest. Your shot very quickly. And even though you

1427
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,480
Speaker 1: could recover if you had two minutes on the sideline,

1428
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 1: that team wasn't going to give you that. Nowadays, not

1429
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,679
Speaker 1: to mention, they're not letting you substitute, so you can't

1430
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: even get a fresh set of legs on the field.

1431
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,799
Speaker 1: So now nowadays teams are using tempo in a different

1432
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: way with the same result over the course of four

1433
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: quarters and once you get into the third quarter, and

1434
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: you've got to you've dominated time of possession. There's no

1435
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: recovering from it, right, And that's their way of doing

1436
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: it now, and they trust that they're going to get

1437
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: to that fourth quarter and have a chance to win

1438
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,719
Speaker 1: the game. And I'll just point out that the scoring

1439
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: drives by the Rams. Okay, so second quarter, thirteen plays,

1440
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 1: sixty three yards, they're on the field for almost seven

1441
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 1: minutes a game time. And then you go later in

1442
01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 1: the game, second half alone Jared Goff's one yard touch

1443
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: down run that captain eight play seventy five yard drive.

1444
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: Then you go down to Robert Wood's next possession that

1445
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: was a quick hit or three play fifty nine yards.

1446
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 1: They're already gassed at that point. So now the defense

1447
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 1: has to come back on the field early fourth quarter,

1448
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: ten play ninety seven yard drive at the start of

1449
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. After that, the defense was shot. They

1450
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: were shot. I mean they were just running around trying

1451
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: to get people on the ground after that and not.

1452
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: And I know it sounds simple to say that, if

1453
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: you know, if you want some get them off the field. Listen,

1454
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: that Rams offense is all about it. It's a machine

1455
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: it's a machine. They are really good offensive. Yeah, I'm

1456
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: not knocking the Bills defense as much as I'm giving

1457
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: credit to the Rams offense and the way that they operate. Yeah,

1458
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: they're a load. They run it well. They use the

1459
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: play action off the run extremely well. They they have

1460
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: complimentary plays and schemes inside their run game and their

1461
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 1: passing game that really give defenses problems. And the shifts

1462
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 1: and motions are are as good as it gets there.

1463
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 1: They've got it going on. They wore the Eagles out

1464
01:13:58,160 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: last week. I mean, I'm watching the fourth quarter that

1465
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: game against the Eagles. They got linebackers that are three

1466
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: steps behind the play, like they're not even in this

1467
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: frame of the television screen. They wore the Eagles out

1468
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: the week before. One more call before we have to

1469
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 1: break here at the bottom of the hour, and we're

1470
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 1: going to Dan and Amherst. Dan, what do you have

1471
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: for us? Thanks for joining us. Yeah, how are you doing, guys?

1472
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 1: There's so many matrix we can use to, you know,

1473
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: prove the advancement of the offense. And Josh Allen, but

1474
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: for so long I was just wishing he would put

1475
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: an arc on the ball aka Pyrod Taylor style, and

1476
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,839
Speaker 1: I just wondered why he had this propensity to always

1477
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: throw a frozen rope on deep balls. But to me,

1478
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: what proves his growth and his self awareness. And it

1479
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 1: wasn't the biggest player of the game, it wasn't the longest,

1480
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't the most important. But when he took just

1481
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 1: a step or two drop back and loft at that

1482
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: ball so pretty that Digs on the left who was covered,

1483
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't even think Dicks knew it was coming. And

1484
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,560
Speaker 1: then the next thing you know, it's right in the

1485
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 1: bread basket. And to me, that just epitomizes how much

1486
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: he's learned and grown. You're talking about the touchdown throw right, No, no, no,

1487
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: it's the one that went right behind the defender and

1488
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: actually late in the game, late in the game, and

1489
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: the defender and laughing about it because they all they

1490
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: both thought they couldn't figure out where the ball came

1491
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 1: from us because it was so quick, right decisive, and

1492
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: the law that is so against how he typically throws,

1493
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: even like those swing passes a year or two our golf.

1494
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: He just had some much velocity on it. I'll tell

1495
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 1: you what, Dan, I'll tell you We've talked about this

1496
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: last week as well in the Dolphin game, and certainly

1497
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: in this game as well. I thought in this game

1498
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: he threw more fastball than he did last week against

1499
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. It was, I said in the run up

1500
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: to this Rams game. In the Golf Dolphins game last week,

1501
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 1: it was deep into the first half before we ever

1502
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: saw him throw one with any pepper on it. So,

1503
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: and I would agree with you. I think people have

1504
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 1: noticed the fact that he has been able to drop

1505
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 1: the ball in over the linebackers. He's put a lot

1506
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: of touch on most of his throws this season. It's

1507
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: particularly in the last two weeks. It has been something

1508
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: to watch. The kind of throws he's made has been

1509
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: something different than we saw from him early in his career.

1510
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,640
Speaker 1: And I would agree with you. I think you're right

1511
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: on the money. It shows a ton of growth and

1512
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: a ton of work that he has put in being

1513
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: able to put that ball where it's supposed to be

1514
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: with the touch that makes it more catchable. And not

1515
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: only that, and thanks for the call, Not only that,

1516
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: he's got different arm angles that he's throwing the ball

1517
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: at now too. He's got a three quarter arm throw,

1518
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 1: he's got a side arm throw, I saw him throw

1519
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: around a defensive lineman last week. He's really he's got

1520
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 1: a full blown arsenal. You know, he's not just that

1521
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: reliever that comes in and throws a one hundred five

1522
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: miles hour gas. He's got different pitches now that he

1523
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: can use in different instances. And he's also got this

1524
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: wrist flick throw now, which looks very reminiscent of the

1525
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers throws. You know when an Aaron Rodgers just

1526
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: flicks the wrist and his thirty yards down the field.

1527
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 1: He's got that throw now. So I don't know where

1528
01:16:57,360 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: all these came from. Maybe he's just through hard work

1529
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: from last year, from all this off season, but man,

1530
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: he's got he's got like four or five pitches now.

1531
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: That tit. That throw he made did Steph Diggs for

1532
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 1: the touchdown in the back of the end zone against

1533
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: Jayden Ring hanging in the second hit The pocket was

1534
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 1: quicksand and he threw it, like you said, with from

1535
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: the elbow down and it got there to the back

1536
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: of the end zone right on the money. That's tight space.

1537
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: It was. It was a great throw, really nice, nicely

1538
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 1: time throw. And he is throwing it and he said

1539
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: it early in training camp or in the off season

1540
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:35,560
Speaker 1: when he has had those guys down on Florida. He

1541
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: say he's thrown as well as he's ever thrown it.

1542
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: And it looks like it to me particularly. You know,

1543
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: we've seen him for three years, and Josh has been

1544
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:45,680
Speaker 1: around himself since it started, completing seventy two percent of

1545
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: his past night and even the most optimistic days we've

1546
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: had in this room talking about this team in March, April, May,

1547
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: June during the pandemic, and we were all conjecturing, we

1548
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: heard about Josh getting all these guys together without you know,

1549
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be great if he could just complete like

1550
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: sixty three, sixty four, just take another step, like he's

1551
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: almost ten percent ahead of that. And Steve, here's the

1552
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: other thing. It's not like last week. Okay, he's sitting

1553
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 1: back there. He had all day to throw. Okay, there

1554
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: was a there were some muddy pockets yesterday. I mean,

1555
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: let's I mean, and he's making plays, rolling the play.

1556
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: How about the throw when he put the outside linebacker

1557
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: on roller skates, who was coming into the pockets to

1558
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: sack him. He puts him on roller skates. He's five

1559
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: yards in the backfield. He's rolling out to his left,

1560
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 1: throws back with his right and I can't remember who

1561
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: he hit over the middle. It might have been Digs

1562
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: or Gabriel Davis. I mean, I'm just like, what the heck? Like,

1563
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: what that didn't happen last? Why? You know? And people

1564
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 1: get caught up in and they say it's it's crazy

1565
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: to do it this way, but they do it. Scouts

1566
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 1: look for guys and you've heard him, but we've heard

1567
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: about it all the time. Traits. This guy's big, strong, fast,

1568
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: looks like okay, great, but can he play right? And

1569
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: you find all these other guys like Ryan fitz Patrick

1570
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: or these other guys that don't have any traits, but

1571
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: they can play because they're great thinkers. Right. Well, the

1572
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: coaches want traits because they think they can mold this guy,

1573
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:13,840
Speaker 1: develop him. Well, you need a guy who's smart enough

1574
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: to learn and committed enough to learn. They got that

1575
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen. They're developing him. And if Josh Allen

1576
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: can reach his full potential what his physical traits say

1577
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 1: they are, we at Jordan Palm, Like Jordan Palmer said

1578
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: last week, this is the tip of the iceberg. Yeah,

1579
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: that's like Wow, okay, I'll take that all right. We

1580
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: gotta take a break down in Rochester, rich In Florida,

1581
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 1: Kevin and Johnsonville. Hang on, we'll get to you in

1587
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: into John and Rochester, who has been waiting patiently. John,

1588
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Thanks for joining the program. Hey,

1589
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. How you doing today? Good?

1590
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? I have good question

1591
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: for you. Really excited about the Bills. Have you know

1592
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: half a voice from screaming at the TV yesterday? But

1593
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 1: good questions, good question for you. On the defensive side,

1594
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: it always well over the last three games. But I

1595
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: know we've played some unique teams, you know, different types

1596
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: of schemes, running game, especially a nightmare yesterday with Los

1597
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: Angeles with so many weapons on the receiving tight ends

1598
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 1: and running backs. But you see an issue with maybe

1599
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: the gap assignments and some of the reads with some

1600
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: of the offenses that they're thrown with, you know, such

1601
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: tight endplay only because by the time you look at

1602
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: it all and what's happening here, it's you know, it

1603
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: just seems like they're in our secondary like lickety split,

1604
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: and you know, how long do you think we can defend?

1605
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,679
Speaker 1: That was asking our secondary to defend you know, guys

1606
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 1: that are in the secondary right away. Yeah, it's a

1607
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:09,639
Speaker 1: good question. And I don't know that there's a problem

1608
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 1: with gap control or assignments up front. I do know this.

1609
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:14,680
Speaker 1: You got a lot of guys that are new to

1610
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: the team playing up there, and I don't think they're

1611
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:20,600
Speaker 1: playing their best football yet. But I made this observation

1612
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: yesterday and just before the game. Now they're playing a

1613
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 1: really good offense yesterday, but coming into that game, they

1614
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: played the Jets and the Dolphins, So you can take

1615
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: that for what it's worth. But the Jets and the

1616
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins were one of the two of the top teams

1617
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,879
Speaker 1: in the league for how fast the ball was released

1618
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: after the snap by the quarterback and the passing game

1619
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 1: they were they were point four seven. They were both

1620
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: in the low two points something's right both the Dolphins

1621
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: and the Jets. Now, the Bills, in those first two

1622
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: games against those two teams that got rid of the

1623
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: ball really fast, were number one in the league percentage

1624
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 1: of pressures on the quarterback thirty percent of their snaps

1625
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: in the passing game, they were getting a prey or

1626
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: a hurry, or a hit on the or a sack

1627
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. So I thought going into that game

1628
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 1: that the Bills were sitting in probably a good spot

1629
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: because they're getting pressure and they're getting it quick on

1630
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: the opposing quarterback. The Rams were a different animal. Their

1631
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 1: offensive line was much superior to the Jets and much

1632
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,640
Speaker 1: superior to the Dolphins. Way superior to the Jets and

1633
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: superior to the Dolphins as well. They didn't get as

1634
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 1: quick a pressure. Plus, the play calling and the offense

1635
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 1: of the Rams was more suited to getting golf outside

1636
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: the pocket and using the run game a little bit more.

1637
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:32,639
Speaker 1: It was a more effective running game, so the defensive

1638
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: line couldn't put its ears back as often and know

1639
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: exactly what they were going to get from the offense.

1640
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 1: But coming into that game, you'd have been hard pressed

1641
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: to tell me there was a problem. So for that

1642
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, yesterday's a good offense. They couldn't get

1643
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,839
Speaker 1: them off the field. At times they could, they swooned

1644
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: in the second half. Bitts face that they held them

1645
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: to three points or six points or ten points. Three

1646
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 1: points in the first quarter, right, so they held the

1647
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: three right, So they had him held them to three

1648
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: points through over two quarters of that game. So I'm

1649
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: thinking they're playing pretty well. And what happened after that

1650
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,680
Speaker 1: to Gabe allowed the you know, Rams to score four

1651
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: straight touchdowns. I don't know that I'd put it all

1652
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,600
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, So I'm saying, I don't know

1653
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: that there's a problem there, but I do want to

1654
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: watch him play more football before I get a feel

1655
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: for him, because I, you know, I was never a

1656
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. Even though they were holding him off the scoreboard,

1657
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: the Rams were still moving the football the entire game. Right,

1658
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: the entire game, they were moving the ball. You know.

1659
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: They missed a long field goal at the scoreboard end,

1660
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 1: and the wind head a factor in that, and I

1661
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: think it was a fifty two yards or so. It

1662
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 1: wasn't as a cakewalk and it faded on him at

1663
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: the end. But they were moving the ball the whole game.

1664
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, they're averaging five point

1665
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 1: two yards to carry. That's way too much. So the

1666
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: run defense does have to shore things up for sure.

1667
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 1: And on top of that, I think they missed Star

1668
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 1: Latoula a little bit. A guy that does the dirty

1669
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,679
Speaker 1: work ties up two guys in there every play allows

1670
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: the linebackers and the other d lineman to run and hit.

1671
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,640
Speaker 1: So I think they're missed in him a little bit.

1672
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 1: And they haven't filled that void sufficiently on a down in,

1673
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: down down basis to this point. And so do they

1674
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: have the talent to fill it. I believe they do,

1675
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: but we haven't seen it plug the hole, so to speak,

1676
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: with the consistency that they're looking for. So hopefully that

1677
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: improves in the very near future too. Rich in Florida,

1678
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 1: we go, Rich, what do you have for us? Thanks

1679
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: for joining us? Hey guys, um, I think Bill's fans

1680
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:34,639
Speaker 1: thank you very much, but really grease if they get

1681
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: my technical daughter Hannah to get the quickly wanted to

1682
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 1: talk of. Two additional perspectives were God in interceptions one

1683
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: and effective from the long but after the whistle is blown,

1684
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 1: tylo cloth through the let go of the ball. You

1685
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: said that hadn't effect on the call, and sectively because

1686
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 1: the Bills who wouldn't buy so much like the US

1687
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: to touchback calls to do, these guys are so far

1688
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 1: ahead the call. I'll tell you this, Rich and to

1689
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 1: the end of your question, do you think that your

1690
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: officials are trying to give them a break? No, I've

1691
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,640
Speaker 1: talked to enough of these officials on a number of

1692
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: different occasions. I know we've we've alluded to it at

1693
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: times during the show today that you know, it always

1694
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,759
Speaker 1: seems to be the team that's losing big that actually

1695
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:29,639
Speaker 1: gets a couple of breaks. The officials, as a rule,

1696
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,679
Speaker 1: do not think like that when you talk to them

1697
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: and get into what they were looking at and talking

1698
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 1: about the game. And I did that on a number

1699
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 1: of occasions when we were playing, when I was doing

1700
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: the CBS thing, we'd do the games, we'd go to

1701
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: the airport to get on the flight home or to

1702
01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 1: break wherever, and invariably you'd be in the club waiting

1703
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: for your flight, and they official aiding crews right there

1704
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,080
Speaker 1: with you. So you're chit chatting with them and you're

1705
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: talking about them. They're talking about how they see things

1706
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 1: and it's an It was very enlightening to me to

1707
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: get to talk to a lot of these guys about

1708
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:58,759
Speaker 1: what they were watching and how they felt about these games.

1709
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: And it really comes comforted me to know that they

1710
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: are on it, not they're on it with what's going

1711
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:08,480
Speaker 1: on in the field, not what's going on the scoreboard.

1712
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: So with that, I believe the officiating has they do

1713
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 1: their best to take that out of the equation. And

1714
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: I did not watch the end of the play with Croft.

1715
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:21,559
Speaker 1: I was jotting down a note after I saw what

1716
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: happened there. Did he let go of the ball and

1717
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 1: let the dB have it after the whistle was blown

1718
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 1: and everybody's and everybody's getting up. Did he get off

1719
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 1: the ball first? Maybe? Yeah? I think he did. Yeah.

1720
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 1: I think the kid the DV got up with the ball,

1721
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: which and I hate to go back, it's relevant because

1722
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: once he comes down on the ground, the play is dead. Yeah.

1723
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: And if it's simultaneous possession, which at best is what

1724
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:49,759
Speaker 1: the Rams can hope for, that's a reception by Croft,

1725
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: and let's go it should be first down going the

1726
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 1: other way, Although it was gonna penalty and they're gonna

1727
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: call craft for an obvious push off either way you

1728
01:26:56,280 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: want to slice it. Nothing about that to me, says Interception. Yeah,

1729
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: I would agree. All right, we have to take a break,

1730
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,240
Speaker 1: but when we come back, more your phone calls. As

1731
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: we're plowing through A Bill's Victory Monday here on One

1732
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo

1733
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Bills Victory Monday on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

1734
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you as we're closing up our number

1735
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: two of the program, and we're going back to the

1736
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 1: phones to get your thoughts on yesterday's game, and we

1737
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: begin with Kevin in Johnsonville. Kevin, what do you have

1738
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 1: for us? Thanks for joining One Bill's Live. Hey, guys,

1739
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. What a what an awesome victory Monday.

1740
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 1: I think my blood pressure is still going down like

1741
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 1: everybody else from my goodness, that's like the olden days there,

1742
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: but as good we finally have that guy. Hey, real quick,

1743
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,639
Speaker 1: you point, But I thought, Steve, I thought that Tyler

1744
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: asked gut up with that ball and gave it to

1745
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: the official. I know it doesn't matter. It wasn't it

1746
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't matter, but yeah, I agree, No, I agree totally. Hey,

1747
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 1: two questions real quick. So the first one really for Steave,

1748
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 1: but but you two, Chris, do you see any of

1749
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 1: your squad in the nineties with the squad that we

1750
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 1: have now, any you know, kind of comparisons. And then

1751
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 1: the second one is I know this one might be

1752
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: a little controversial, I guess for now. But you know,

1753
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 1: as we know, we've been waiting for a franchise QB

1754
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:35,719
Speaker 1: in Buffalo for you know, for seventeen years, right starting

1755
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 1: the obviously the entire Playoff dropping. We haven't had that

1756
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 1: guy really since Jim take out Flutie in a VP

1757
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: and all those guys. So I know it's getting ahead

1758
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 1: of ourselves here. But if Josh Allen during his career,

1759
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 1: and I think you know where I'm going with this,

1760
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 1: leads the Bills to Super Bowl victory, does he go

1761
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: down as the best Bills QB ever? If he's a

1762
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer, Well, he said, if he

1763
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl. If he wins the Super Bowl,

1764
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 1: does he gets stamped the best quarterback? And it depends

1765
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 1: on what it looks like. It depends and if the

1766
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,639
Speaker 1: team he's played, if it's a great team, if it's

1767
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 1: if if it's a one time shot and they never

1768
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: go back again. I mean we're talking about three unbelievable

1769
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 1: games right now. You know what, did Jim do it

1770
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:22,639
Speaker 1: for ten years? I mean it's a little bit different, Yeah,

1771
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:27,640
Speaker 1: little bit different. Four straight AFC titles depends five appearances.

1772
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 1: He's got, he's got to put more years together, and

1773
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,879
Speaker 1: he certainly has the opportunity and looks like the abilities

1774
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: to do that. Um, we gotta wait. If all that,

1775
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 1: if he does what he did the first three weeks

1776
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:41,640
Speaker 1: for ten years, yeah, yeah, then then it would be

1777
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 1: a resounding year if this three week stretches into a

1778
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: ten year run. Yes, yeah, we're all and I'm on board. Um,

1779
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 1: and so is Jim. So so tell me this. You

1780
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 1: heard what he asked you first. Are there any similarities

1781
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 1: in the way this team is constructed, the way it

1782
01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 1: kind of loves on one another. Um, the tight knit

1783
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: group that it is across sides of the ball, top

1784
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:07,160
Speaker 1: to bottom on the roster. I mean they got practice guys,

1785
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 1: guys that they love. The culture is similar. Great deal

1786
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,680
Speaker 1: of affection for guys on the team, great deal of camaraderie,

1787
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: a great deal of caring about what happens on both

1788
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, from one side of the ball

1789
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 1: or the other. Um, a lot of that going on. Yes,

1790
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 1: that that is very similar. The most dissimilar thing is

1791
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 1: that it's a very different NFL that they play in.

1792
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 1: It's thirty years ago. One difference I noticed from that

1793
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:34,920
Speaker 1: is at the beginning of our run, it was there

1794
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 1: was no free agency and that kind of thing. So

1795
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,679
Speaker 1: you were, you know, I covered kicks with Mark Pike

1796
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 1: for eleven years. I mean, I mean I knew the guy. Um,

1797
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 1: we covered more kicks together than maybe you know, than

1798
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 1: longer than guys play in the NFL. So that was

1799
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: a different part of the league. Now you'll get different

1800
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 1: guys running through every year, two years, three years, you'll

1801
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,479
Speaker 1: have a whole different group of guys. Even even with that,

1802
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: though guys seem to assimilate real quick, they do. Uh,

1803
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: that's the difference. And I think this is different too.

1804
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: This Bill's team, with the exception of obviously Josh Allen

1805
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 1: and the guys who were emerging like Turdavious White, Josh

1806
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 1: Allen and maybe Steph Diggs. Now back then in the nineties,

1807
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:17,680
Speaker 1: that team was full of stars, Bruce Smiths, maybe he's

1808
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 1: the greatest pass rusher of all time. Jim Kelly was

1809
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,479
Speaker 1: a first ballot Hall of Famer. Thurman Thomas did something

1810
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 1: nobody had ever done before. He led the team from

1811
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 1: yards of scrimmage four straight years. Cornelius Bennett was as

1812
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 1: fast and Athletica linebackers. There wasn't a national for they were.

1813
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:40,759
Speaker 1: They were loaded with stars like elite like James Lofton.

1814
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 1: Andre Reid was was ahead of his time because nobody

1815
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:48,240
Speaker 1: had a slot receiver that played slot receiver all the time. Um,

1816
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 1: he was the guy, and he was six two and

1817
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: waged two fifteen, and he was a beast. So it

1818
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 1: was a different it was a different league. The team

1819
01:31:57,040 --> 01:32:00,760
Speaker 1: was constructed around a bunch of guys who were elite players.

1820
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 1: This Bill's team is may get to that point these

1821
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:06,599
Speaker 1: guys and certainly Josh and Diggs ands Tremaine and these

1822
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:11,560
Speaker 1: guys may emerge as that, but the culture is very similar.

1823
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a blastic I think got hung

1824
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 1: out together. They loved each other, They knew each other's families,

1825
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,600
Speaker 1: they cared about each other's families, They checked in on

1826
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:22,599
Speaker 1: each other. It was a relationship that went far beyond

1827
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 1: the locker room, and that's much like this group. Let's

1828
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:29,200
Speaker 1: go to Zi, who's calling in and has a comment

1829
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,439
Speaker 1: about Diggs and Browns. Zi, what do you have for us? Hey?

1830
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 1: What's up? I just wanted to shout out our two

1831
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:41,280
Speaker 1: receivers that we got John Brown that last year, John

1832
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 1: Brown hits Define Gilmore, one of the best formers with

1833
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 1: one of the nicest moves I've seen, and scored a

1834
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 1: touchdown the same thing yesterday, that touchdown yesterday. So I

1835
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 1: just wanted to get them to a shout out and

1836
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:56,760
Speaker 1: just saying I'm not scared of no defense in the

1837
01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: league as long as we got these two receivers. Yeah,

1838
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 1: And we'll have to see what happens with John Brown

1839
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 1: this week. Left the game with a calf injury yesterday

1840
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 1: and left the game without a reception and broke a

1841
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 1: consecutive games reception streak for him. So unfortunate. And Coach

1842
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,959
Speaker 1: mcdermam will be talking at about four o'clock this afternoon.

1843
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that we'll get a tremendous injury update.

1844
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 1: Usually it tends to marinate for a couple of days

1845
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 1: and then coach gives you a little bit more come Wednesday,

1846
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:26,559
Speaker 1: which is understandable competitive advantage and all of that, But yeah,

1847
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 1: left with a calf injury, did not return, and Gabriel

1848
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 1: Davis largely took his role in the offense the rest

1849
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 1: of the afternoon and did a pretty good job all

1850
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:39,000
Speaker 1: things considered. So hopefully not a bad injury for John Brown,

1851
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,200
Speaker 1: But we'll have to see and Steve. There's also gonna

1852
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:42,559
Speaker 1: be some other decisions that are gonna have to be

1853
01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 1: made with respect to the roster. You've got three players

1854
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 1: on injury reserve right now who are going to be

1855
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 1: coming off of that list pretty soon after a half week. Yeah, well,

1856
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 1: well this is well it's at least three weeks, so,

1857
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 1: so Josh Norman can start practicing this week if he's

1858
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 1: fit and healthy enough to do so, then at the

1859
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 1: end of the week they may have to make a

1860
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 1: roster decision because he's been on there for three weeks.

1861
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 1: So too is Isaiah Hodgins, and so too is John Feliciano.

1862
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 1: So if any of these guys are ready, there's gonna

1863
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: be some interesting roster decisions that have to take place

1864
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:16,240
Speaker 1: here this coming week. If any of those three players

1865
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:19,439
Speaker 1: are fit enough to return to practice and look good

1866
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 1: enough to be suiting up for games again. Hodgens is

1867
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:23,800
Speaker 1: the one that interests me. If John Brown has to

1868
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 1: go down because of an injury, Hodgens would be the

1869
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 1: logical choice. Now it doesn't mean he goes back into

1870
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 1: John Brown's obviously he's gonna you know, Gabe Gabriel. They're

1871
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 1: dressing six every week. They're dressing six every week. And

1872
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 1: Feliciano was also a guy that it would be a

1873
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,880
Speaker 1: pebble into a calm pool of the offensive line. Where

1874
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with that starting five? Because Feliciano

1875
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:49,520
Speaker 1: has always been a guy that has set the emotional

1876
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:51,760
Speaker 1: tone when he's on the field, and Sean McDermott has

1877
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:53,800
Speaker 1: liked that about him, so has I mean, they have

1878
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:59,760
Speaker 1: thrived on his competitiveness. I would be surprised if Feliciano

1879
01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 1: is inserted as soon as he's physically able. But where's

1880
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:05,960
Speaker 1: that going to be? Well? And I think Eric Wood

1881
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,400
Speaker 1: may have been on the right track with what we

1882
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 1: saw yesterday being somewhat of a preemptive move. Brian Winters

1883
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 1: to right guard, Cody Forward to left guard. When Feliciano

1884
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 1: comes back, Winters probably comes out. Does Cody Ford stay

1885
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: at left guard, and as Quentin Spain still a reserve

1886
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 1: as he was this week. We'll have to wait and

1887
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:25,760
Speaker 1: see how it all shakes out in the games that

1888
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 1: will follow. And this is all assuming that Feliciano is

1889
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: ready to return. Maybe it takes a little bit longer

1890
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 1: than his target date of being back for this Raiders game,

1891
01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 1: because you knew he wanted to be back in time

1892
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 1: to play against his former team. We'll see if that

1893
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 1: in fact comes to pass. We have to take a break,

1894
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,080
Speaker 1: But when we come back, Kenny and Buffalo, Joe in

1895
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 1: Georgia and Katon, hang on more of your phone calls

1902
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:19,160

Speaker 1: ten passing touchdowns two rushing touchdowns on the season, becoming

1904
01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:25,759
Speaker 1: the first QB in NFL history. With ten plus tds

1905
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:29,080
Speaker 1: and two plus rushing touchdowns in his team's first three

1906
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 1: games of a season. Back on the road next week

1907
01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:33,559
Speaker 1: as the Bills head to Las Vegas for their Week

1908
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 1: four matchup with the two and one Raiders. Speaking of

1909
01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders, they suffered their first loss of the year

1910
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: to the Patriots on Sunday. Rex Burkhead with three touchdowns

1911
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:45,639
Speaker 1: for New England, Sony Michelle with one hundred and seventeen

1912
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:48,559
Speaker 1: rushing yards, and New England now two and one on

1913
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:52,480
Speaker 1: the season. The Jets woes continued in their latest Blowoutlaws.

1914
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 1: Sam Darneld threw three picks as the Colts blew out

1915
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 1: the Jets thirty six to seven. Indie now has back

Speaker 1: to back wins, and the Sharks and York are circling

1917
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 1: around Adam Gase. The Russell Wilson versus Dak Prescott duel

1918
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:10,320
Speaker 1: was as advertised. Wilson through five tds, giving him fourteen

1919
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 1: for the season that's the most in NFL history through

1920
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:17,160
Speaker 1: three games. As the Seahawks outdueled the Cowboys thirty eight

1921
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 1: thirty one, za Dak Prescott through for four hundred and

1922
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 1: seventy two yards and three touchdowns, but it wasn't enough.

1923
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 1: He did become only the second quarterback to throw for

1924
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:29,839
Speaker 1: more than four hundred and fifty passing yards in consecutive games,

01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:32,560
Speaker 1: you haven't been voted in yet, but the bills have

1946
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 1: been bad all those years you've been up for elections.

1947
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 1: So now with the national attention that you're getting, I

1948
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:39,120
Speaker 1: believe this is the year for you to finally get

Speaker 1: an all things Oh in that case, man, go bill

1950
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:46,880
Speaker 1: start the campaign with that. With that said a couple

1951
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:51,160
Speaker 1: of things. One, I know that the publications have been

1952
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 1: talking about how you know this is the second consecutive

1953
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 1: three and oh start for the bills in the past

1954
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 1: two times it's happened words sixty four to sixty five

1955
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:02,680
Speaker 1: and then ninety one to ninety two, and left it

1956
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 1: at that, not furthering it by saying, oh, by the way,

1957
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: in sixty four and sixty five they won the AFL

1958
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:10,599
Speaker 1: championship that year, and oh, by the way, in ninety

1959
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:12,240
Speaker 1: one to ninety two because they went to the Super

1960
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 1: Bowl bow for those years. For the record, I did

1961
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 1: mention that in my column this morning Three Things to Know,

1962
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 1: So I know you'm all right. I took it a

1963
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 1: step further, but yeah, that's the thing. And then the

1964
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 1: last thing I just wanted to mention is you guys

1965
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 1: touched on it a lot, say and so of the

1966
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 1: other fans, but just the camaraderie on this team, loving

1967
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:35,879
Speaker 1: that Stefan Diggs. Every time somebody else does something, Stefan

1968
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 1: dig just jumping up and down and going crazy about it. Um.

1969
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:41,800
Speaker 1: And you know even last week when he pointed to

1970
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: who was it John Brown in the back of the

1971
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 1: entrop and he get him, get him. It's just seen

1972
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 1: this which we haven't seen forever. We bring in Calvin, Benjamin,

1973
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: we bring in Carello and and all those and you

1974
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,600
Speaker 1: didn't get this and see that. So the fact of

1975
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 1: the Stefan Diggs, I'm loving the fact that what this

1976
01:39:56,360 --> 01:40:00,679
Speaker 1: team is not just doing on the field, but you said, Steve,

1977
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: what they're doing off the field to build that love

1978
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 1: and that camaraderie and that you know, that togetherness that

1979
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:10,280
Speaker 1: it is so great to see. Well, I'll tell you this,

1980
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the words, but yeah, and it is

1981
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,519
Speaker 1: interesting that you know what they're saying is that the

1982
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 1: Bills have started three and oz for two consecutive years,

1983
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:22,280
Speaker 1: and the only other two times to do that were

1984
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,599
Speaker 1: sixty four, sixty five, ninety two, and those seasons ended

1985
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:27,760
Speaker 1: up pretty good. Yeah they did. But the problem is

1986
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:30,559
Speaker 1: ninety one didn't have anything to do with ninety two,

1987
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: and sixty four had nothing to do with sixty five,

1988
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 1: and twenty nineteen doesn't have anything to do with twenty twenty.

1989
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's nice and it speaks to the strength

1990
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: of your team going forward, but that it just tells

1991
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 1: you you've got a good team put together. You still

1992
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 1: got to play the previous year. Means even less for

1993
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,720
Speaker 1: the next year now than with the roster turnover that

1994
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 1: you have now in comparison to those two times. But

1995
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 1: he's right, So he's right. It does. It is something,

1996
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 1: it's not nothing. It gives you a good start to

1997
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: the season. The Bills are rolling along. I've been watching

1998
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the New England Patriots already getting ready

1999
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 1: for the Raiders game this next week, and they're going

2000
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,600
Speaker 1: to struggle to stop this offense. I know that the

2001
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 1: Raiders are and not for nothing. I think this is

2002
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, Bill's got a chance to go four and

2003
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,400
Speaker 1: oh if they if they don't, just they don't turn

2004
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: it over, right and yeah, because the Raiders can't stop

2005
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 1: anybody right now. But to Joe's point that it does

2006
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:31,759
Speaker 1: mean something a three and oz start in this league

2007
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,600
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety in that playoff format, and granted the

2008
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:37,879
Speaker 1: playoff format changes this year, so the probabilities arguably increased.

2009
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 1: It's increased from the numbers that I'm going to give

2010
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:41,599
Speaker 1: you here, but a three and oz start if your

2011
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 1: team starts three and zero based on the results since

2012
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:48,240
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety in the previous playoff format. Now it's seven

2013
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 1: playoff teams per conference. If you start the season three

2014
01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:53,320
Speaker 1: and oz, you have a seventy three point six percent

2015
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 1: chance to make the playoffs, a fifty one point four

2016
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:58,920
Speaker 1: percent chance to win your division, and a ten percent

2017
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,720
Speaker 1: chance to win the super Bowl. That's based on previous

2018
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 1: teams that have started three and oh since nineteen ninety

2019
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:09,040
Speaker 1: for what it's worth. Back to the phones, though, and

2020
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:11,880
Speaker 1: now we go to Kenny and Buffalo. Kenny, thanks for

2021
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:16,240
Speaker 1: joining us. What do you have? Thanks Chris and Steve

2022
01:42:16,320 --> 01:42:21,320
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Yeah. Sure, I've been the Builds

2023
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:26,839
Speaker 1: fans for I've been watching those football since early nineteen sixties, okay,

2024
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 1: and so I've seen a lot of you know, we've

2025
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:34,640
Speaker 1: had some good quarterbacks back then some bad quarterbacks, you know,

2026
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 1: some mediocre quarterbacks, and Steve, I think he played with

2027
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:41,560
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks that Buffalo Bill's history. He

2028
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:43,720
Speaker 1: didn't mention no name because we all know who he is.

2029
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 1: Oh and to Joe's point, yes, you should be in

2030
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame because you were the best special

2031
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:52,759
Speaker 1: teams player that I've ever seen on the football field.

2032
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate it. Back to quarterbacks, I think

2033
01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has the potential, hand the ability to be

2034
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:10,639
Speaker 1: one of the Bill's best quarterbacks ever. Okay, my only

2035
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 1: thing is he somehow he has to fight a way

2036
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 1: to hang on to the ball, and it seems like

2037
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:20,840
Speaker 1: every game he has an issue with um not having

2038
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:24,559
Speaker 1: the ball tucked in, especially when he's under pressure or um,

2039
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's scrambling. I mean, it's like he holds

2040
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:32,160
Speaker 1: the ball away from his body like it's a loaf

2041
01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 1: of bread, look a dirty diaper, don't want to hand. Yeah,

2042
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:40,160
Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's my right, and I'll listen

2043
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:41,960
Speaker 1: to you guys, Thanks for having You're right. If he's

2044
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 1: got a bugaboo, it is being too loose with the football,

2045
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:48,720
Speaker 1: wringing it out there man one hand, that's dangerous. He

2046
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:53,599
Speaker 1: plays like a guy. And I'll say this, you don't

2047
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: hold the ball like that in an NFL game unless

2048
01:43:56,080 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 1: you are supremely confident you. I mean, it's not being careless,

2049
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:04,840
Speaker 1: it's not being like it's like the ball. You just

2050
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 1: don't feel like you're gonna give it up right or wrong.

2051
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:15,559
Speaker 1: And it has constantly and he's it'll get it will

2052
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:18,040
Speaker 1: happen that he will get over that. He's not gonna

2053
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 1: he's not going to set a fumble record in his career,

2054
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,680
Speaker 1: even if he plays for a long time, because I

2055
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:25,960
Speaker 1: think Dave Craig put that out of reach. But it's

2056
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:30,439
Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about. It's and I get it too.

2057
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 1: You want him to be as disciplined as he can be,

2058
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 1: but you want him, want him to be the athlete

2059
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: and the competitor that he is, and that means he's

2060
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna do some things that other quarterback you don't see

2061
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks doing. And he's gonna put the ball at

2062
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:45,360
Speaker 1: risk because he is willing to enable to do things

2063
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks don't do. That's gonna cost you at times.

2064
01:44:49,880 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 1: The other side of that is this he does your

2065
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:59,680
Speaker 1: sports radio five fifty. He's got incredible physical gifts that

2066
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 1: you want to exploit to their fullest, and to do that,

2067
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:04,240
Speaker 1: you've got to allow him to do stuff that nobody

2068
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 1: else does. So it's a balance, no question, you're never

2069
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 1: happy when you turn it over. But with a guy

2070
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:16,559
Speaker 1: like this, I think most people, even his critics, the

2071
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 1: way he's been playing this season in the last three games,

2072
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: I think even his critics would be saying, you know what,

2073
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: I'll live with that. I know the rest of it.

2074
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:26,320
Speaker 1: But even as big as his myths are, you're waving

2075
01:45:26,360 --> 01:45:28,040
Speaker 1: it out there with one hand. All you need is

2076
01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:29,880
Speaker 1: somebody to chop your arm, and that ball is going

2077
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:31,720
Speaker 1: to come loose. You can't hold on. To see the

2078
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 1: strength of these players and the way that they're able

2079
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 1: to chop at the ball, and that's what the that's

2080
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 1: what pass rushers are being coached to do. Now. They

2081
01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:42,719
Speaker 1: are less worried about defensive ends getting the sack. They're

2082
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 1: more concerned about getting the ball out. Why because ever

2083
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:48,080
Speaker 1: since they change the quarterback rules where you can't touch

2084
01:45:48,160 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 1: their head, you can't tackle them below the knees. A

2085
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 1: lot of these defensive line coaches have said, well, screw

2086
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 1: getting the sack. Just go get the ball out, especially

2087
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:58,559
Speaker 1: if he's waving it around with one hand. Go get

2088
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:00,600
Speaker 1: the ball out, and we'll worry about getting sacks and

2089
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 1: getting quarterbacks on the ground later because we'd rather not

2090
01:46:03,400 --> 01:46:05,759
Speaker 1: have to deal with getting a flagg drowne for roughing

2091
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We'd rather get you to have you get

2092
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 1: the ball out. So go do that, right, Yeah, and

2093
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:14,559
Speaker 1: they'll be they're coaching him up, and his coaches are

2094
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:16,640
Speaker 1: on him. He's on himself. He knows it. By by

2095
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 1: the same token, you get into a game where things

2096
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 1: are on the line, it's like, forget it. I'm doing

2097
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:23,640
Speaker 1: my thing, and I gotta make this I gotta make

2098
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:25,479
Speaker 1: this place. So I'm gonna run to the ball out

2099
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 1: here on this side of my hand. You know, I'm

2100
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:28,680
Speaker 1: gonna hold the ball out here and stiff arm this

2101
01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 1: joker and I'm gonna make a play. So that's all

2102
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: well and good when the when the pockets clean and

2103
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 1: we're winning and I'm I'm carving this defense up. But

2104
01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:40,519
Speaker 1: when it all comes apart, you know, shut up and

2105
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:43,160
Speaker 1: let me do my thing, right, That's kind of the attitude.

2106
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty Back to the phones.

2107

Speaker 1: fair man. Let me turn your radio down, all right.

2113
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to make a comment on Josh Allen's his

2114
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:15,719
Speaker 1: progression as far as his sure DECI isn't making and

2115
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:20,760
Speaker 1: his uh just you know, putting the ball in the

2116
01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:23,640
Speaker 1: right spot. He's throwing like darts now and I appreciate

2117
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:26,280
Speaker 1: that he's going real great. I just had a question

2118
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 1: for you guys though, sure you were too. When did

2119
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:33,160
Speaker 1: division do you think he has a chance at win

2120
01:47:33,200 --> 01:47:37,560
Speaker 1: the MVP? Well, I think right now he is unquestionably

2121
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:40,439
Speaker 1: in the MVP conversation. The only guy that I think

2122
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:42,479
Speaker 1: is playing better than him right now is Russell Wilson.

2123
01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 1: And that's it. And I'll tell you, babe, Aaron Rodgers

2124
01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:49,639
Speaker 1: from last night, and Russell is playing better. I gotta

2125
01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:53,719
Speaker 1: tell you he Russell's He's unbelievable. Um and Aaron Rodgers

2126
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 1: last night and Aaron Rodgers being Aaron Rodgers. I think

2127
01:47:56,920 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 1: what will come down to, is this if they play

2128
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:01,519
Speaker 1: for instance, and Kayton, I'll tell you this, if if

2129
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:05,519
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and Josh Allen end up having

2130
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:08,479
Speaker 1: the same statistical season, it's gonna come down to how

2131
01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:12,920
Speaker 1: their teams do. Yep, the better the team, the better

2132
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:15,320
Speaker 1: the guys gonna the more votes that guy's gonna get.

2133
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:18,599
Speaker 1: So um, if these guys all continue on this path

2134
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:20,840
Speaker 1: that they're doing right now, they're gonna come down to

2135
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:22,760
Speaker 1: the wire neck and neck. You're also gonna have three

2136
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 1: guys throw for five thousand yards. Yeah, Josh don pace

2137
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:30,000
Speaker 1: for fifty d I mean, it's insane. I mean absolutely insane,

2138
01:48:30,040 --> 01:48:32,439
Speaker 1: And I do think at some point in time it'll

2139
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 1: drift back closer to the mean or the league average,

2140
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 1: But man, I hope it doesn't because it's a lot

2141
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 1: of fun right now. But he is unquestioned. As a

2142
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:46,040
Speaker 1: matter of fact. You watch any national sports show on ESPN,

2143
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 1: on Fox, I mean, name your network, they're all asking

2144
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 1: right now, is Josh Allen and NFL MVP Kennedy. That's

2145
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:56,519
Speaker 1: the debate that they're having because what he's done the

2146
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 1: first three weeks has caught a lot of people around

2147
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,960
Speaker 1: the country completely by surprise, because this was not a

2148
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 1: leap that anybody anticipated outside of the walls of one

2149
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 1: Bill's drive. And it's taken the league by storm. Now,

2150
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's a feature. He's the lead in Peter

2151
01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: King's Football Morning in America column this year. Here's the thing,

2152
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:18,559
Speaker 1: and here's why. There's a couple of reasons too. Until

2153
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:20,840
Speaker 1: I can think of one. He's playing great. You can't

2154
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 1: deny they're three and oz and Josh is an enormous

2155
01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:28,599
Speaker 1: part of the reason why. Secondly, nobody in the league

2156
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:31,240
Speaker 1: right now it was more polarizing than Josh Allen because

2157
01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 1: everybody came out yea or nay. And I mean there

2158
01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:37,439
Speaker 1: was no middle ground, big fat black line between the

2159
01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 1: two pots, and you were either on one side of

2160
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 1: that fence or you're on the other side of that fence.

2161
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:43,840
Speaker 1: And now that you're on the wrong side of the fence.

2162
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 1: And he said he stunk like Jalen Ramsey said, he

2163
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: was trash. Now you've got on Twitter, you've got a

2164
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:53,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen apology form that you have to fill out

2165
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:56,559
Speaker 1: because the guy's in the MVP race. And he went

2166
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: from fifty eight and at eight fifty fifty eight point

2167
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:03,920
Speaker 1: nine games point nine percent to seventy one point something

2168
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:08,439
Speaker 1: seventy one point one. So now it's like you gotta look,

2169
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 1: you gotta look yourself in the mirror and say I

2170
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 1: was wrong. I was absolutely wrong. So you got people

2171
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 1: do it. It's it's a it's a fun conversation and

2172
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 1: it's all in good fun. But people going on and say, okay,

2173
01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:22,000
Speaker 1: I give up, I was wrong. Yeah, and there's a

2174
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,120
Speaker 1: ton of people. I have to do that. National media

2175
01:50:24,160 --> 01:50:28,519
Speaker 1: members have to do that because nobody it's rare that

2176
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: you see a guy as raw as Josh was develop

2177
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:37,799
Speaker 1: into somebody that looks as polished as he does this quickly,

2178
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: this quickly. Well you say quick, it's have been three years.

2179
01:50:40,479 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 1: Well I know, but I'm just saying from year two

2180
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:44,599
Speaker 1: to year three to jump. But here's the thing, even

2181
01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 1: in you it's over two three if they don't show

2182
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: promise and more promised most times than Josh did. Even

2183
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:56,720
Speaker 1: in year one, you never reached her through because the

2184
01:50:56,800 --> 01:50:59,160
Speaker 1: head coach is gone, the GM's fired. Look, it's it's

2185
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:02,800
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, you know, two point zero. It's all of

2186
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 1: that stuff. It's you know, everything else that we've seen

2187
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:09,679
Speaker 1: quarterbacks all over the country go through where well this

2188
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,040
Speaker 1: this guy's a this guy's a bust. You're out of here,

2189
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:14,800
Speaker 1: and you're out of here, and you're out of here here.

2190
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:19,679
Speaker 1: They gave the kid a chance to play and supported him,

2191
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:23,360
Speaker 1: let him do what he did best. And then and then,

2192
01:51:23,439 --> 01:51:27,599
Speaker 1: to his credit, he worked hard to get better. And

2193
01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:29,759
Speaker 1: we just I don't know why we haven't seen this before,

2194
01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:32,599
Speaker 1: but when you look at it and through that lens

2195
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:36,280
Speaker 1: of like, well, he worked hard, he had a stable organization,

2196
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:39,599
Speaker 1: the same offense. The team got better around him. He

2197
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 1: was working hard. Well, yeah, he got better, and here

2198
01:51:43,439 --> 01:51:46,040
Speaker 1: we are, and and so you know, I don't know

2199
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 1: why it doesn't happen more often, but it hasn't. Right,

2200
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:52,479
Speaker 1: I mean, think of I would I welcome a call

2201
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:54,679
Speaker 1: to have somebody call and say you remember this guy,

2202
01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:56,680
Speaker 1: how bad he was? And I'll give you one off

2203
01:51:56,720 --> 01:52:00,680
Speaker 1: the top of my head. John Elway, he's dunk as

2204
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:05,000
Speaker 1: a rookie, so Detroit aikman, They stunk, but they were

2205
01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: you know they It wasn't them. It was as much

2206
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 1: the organization as then. And they got a little better.

2207
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:12,479
Speaker 1: John Elway was man, he was let me tell you him,

2208
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:15,800
Speaker 1: you go back. He was bad. He was bad, and

2209
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:18,160
Speaker 1: then he got a little better than the team got

2210
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:20,559
Speaker 1: a little better around him, and they kind of hung

2211
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 1: in there with these And it was a different world

2212
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:24,360
Speaker 1: back then too. There's no free agency, there's none of

2213
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:26,559
Speaker 1: that stuff then. And the young QB's got a little

2214
01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:29,080
Speaker 1: more rope too, that's right, they got a little more rope.

2215
01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:31,439
Speaker 1: And neither one of those guys. Well, Aikman didn't. He

2216
01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 1: took every snap I think of his career. But John

2217
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 1: Elway was sitting behind who was at Craig Morton or

2218
01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:40,760
Speaker 1: somebody like that, and he sat for a minute. But

2219
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:43,880
Speaker 1: they got thrown in there. So we've seen it. But

2220
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:47,839
Speaker 1: it takes patience and it takes stability. We are almost

2221
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:49,519
Speaker 1: all the way through the program. We have yet to

2222
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:51,720
Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet, which is brought to you

2223
01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:54,640
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

2224
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:57,719
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and we were asking for your biggest

2225
01:52:57,720 --> 01:52:59,479
Speaker 1: takeaways from the game, much like we have on the

2226
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 1: phones and from seth. He says, it feels great to

2227
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:04,080
Speaker 1: be three and oh that's all that really matters. But

2228
01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:07,519
Speaker 1: the offense looks great for the most part. Can't take

2229
01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:09,600
Speaker 1: the foot off the gas, though defense really needs to

2230
01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:12,200
Speaker 1: start playing up to their potential. Too many mistackles and

2231
01:53:12,240 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 1: the wide receivers are running wide open. I think the

2232
01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:18,760
Speaker 1: biggest shock for Bill's fans is that this is a

2233
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:21,160
Speaker 1: defense that they came to know as a top five unit,

2234
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:24,680
Speaker 1: and even though there are some statistical categories where this

2235
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:30,639
Speaker 1: Bill's defense is still top five or top ten, there's

2236
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 1: a concern because I don't as much as they didn't

2237
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:36,360
Speaker 1: anticipate the offense to be this prolific, I don't think

2238
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:40,759
Speaker 1: they thought this defense, which this team has largely relied

2239
01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:44,120
Speaker 1: upon the last two years and could count on, would

2240
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 1: be what's the word to use here, this inconsistent and

2241
01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 1: it has been through the first three games, and it's

2242
01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:57,799
Speaker 1: of concern. Their fourth overall in total offense, total offense

2243
01:53:57,880 --> 01:54:03,360
Speaker 1: and defensively, twenty fourth rushing yards per player per game,

2244
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:07,200
Speaker 1: the twentieth per play. Are you talking offense passing yards?

2245
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 1: The Bills are number two in the league and yards

2246
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:12,360
Speaker 1: given up and number three overall in yards per play.

2247
01:54:12,439 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 1: I think this we've seen it before. Two This is

2248
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: a kind of a philosophy where the team says, if

2249
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:20,559
Speaker 1: you want to run it on us, that's fine, but

2250
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:22,439
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna score enough points to really get out

2251
01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:24,920
Speaker 1: ahead of us and behind points allowed. Though the Bills

2252
01:54:24,920 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 1: are sixteenth now, they're right in the middle of the

2253
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:31,200
Speaker 1: pack defense, which is different. Twentieth overall in total yards allowed,

2254
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:35,120
Speaker 1: ninth against the run, and they are twenty seventh against

2255
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:38,440
Speaker 1: the pass. Yeah, yeah, there's some fixing that has to

2256
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:40,880
Speaker 1: happen here. These are not numbers we are used to seeing.

2257
01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 1: With this Bill's defense from Tiffany, Josh Allen is no

2258
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 1: longer a secret to the rest of the NFL. He's

2259
01:54:46,560 --> 01:54:48,440
Speaker 1: now in the conversation with the rest of the great

2260
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:52,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing second. We really missed Star Latulala. He was

2261
01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:55,280
Speaker 1: an unsung hero taking on double teams, freeing up our

2262
01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:58,680
Speaker 1: linebackers to move about freely and make plays. And she

2263
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:01,240
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent right as we said earlier in

2264
01:55:01,240 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 1: the show. Though I think there is talent here to

2265
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:07,320
Speaker 1: fill the void left by Star, I just don't think

2266
01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:11,560
Speaker 1: it's gelled yet on that defensive front, and it makes

2267
01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:15,320
Speaker 1: me wonder sometimes. While I well, I agree wholeheartedly that

2268
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:18,680
Speaker 1: you need rotation on the defensive line to keep guys fresh,

2269
01:55:18,720 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 1: I think they've got to find a balance there between

2270
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 1: keeping guys fresh and letting guys get into the flow

2271
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:26,560
Speaker 1: of the game. Do you know what I mean? Like

2272
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:31,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if, yeah, there's a balance you have to strike.

2273
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:33,840
Speaker 1: I get that. I don't know that there is or not.

2274
01:55:33,920 --> 01:55:35,600
Speaker 1: They would hear it from their players if they thought

2275
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 1: that was if the players thought that was a thing.

2276
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:39,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, the rankings that I was wrong

2277
01:55:39,080 --> 01:55:40,360
Speaker 1: on just a minute ago, I was reading the builds

2278
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 1: to read offense. I was reading their offensive stats. Defense

2279
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:45,880
Speaker 1: is twentieth, total yards allowed, ninth against the run, twenty

2280
01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:49,240
Speaker 1: seventh against the past, sixteenth and points allowed. Third down

2281
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 1: defense right now is twentieth in the league. Yeah, their

2282
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:54,520
Speaker 1: top ten against the run, which is you know, and

2283
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:56,840
Speaker 1: they faced a really good running team. Well that's because

2284
01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:59,680
Speaker 1: they forced the Jets to throw a lot in week one, right, Yeah,

2285
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:01,680
Speaker 1: they and Levy and Bell and lev and Bell got

2286
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:03,800
Speaker 1: out went out with a hamstring injury. I'll tell you

2287
01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 1: this too. You gotta tip your head. The Rams are good.

2288
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:11,160
Speaker 1: They're really good. And that's getting lost here because in

2289
01:56:11,200 --> 01:56:14,040
Speaker 1: the in all the all the other stuff we talk

2290
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:17,040
Speaker 1: about is bills, fans and all the stuff. They're good.

2291
01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:20,040
Speaker 1: Number three total offense, fourth rushing offense in the league.

2292
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 1: We knew going in, and we thought too, if the

2293
01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 1: Bills went beat this team, they're pretty damn good. The

2294
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 1: Bills passed a really tough test, and I have to

2295
01:56:28,640 --> 01:56:31,240
Speaker 1: say they did. I mean, let's not forget this was

2296
01:56:31,280 --> 01:56:33,720
Speaker 1: a This is a really good Rams team in the

2297
01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 1: toughest division in football out there. Do you remember West?

2298
01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:39,120
Speaker 1: Do you remember what I said in the pregame show

2299
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:41,400
Speaker 1: on the radio yesterday? I said, this is going to

2300
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 1: be a back and forth game, and I think it's

2301
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna come down to who has the ball last. That's

2302
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:49,120
Speaker 1: what I said. Now all things, Rams had the ball last.

2303
01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 1: But it was a lateral play desperation, So you're technically

2304
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:56,640
Speaker 1: completely wrong. And it wasn't back and forth the way

2305
01:56:56,640 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 1: we thought, with the way I thought it would be.

2306
01:56:58,120 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 1: I thought it would be take for tat it was.

2307
01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:03,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't back over here with the Bills for the

2308
01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:05,680
Speaker 1: first half and then the fourth game in the third quarter.

2309
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:07,920
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, it was like an argument with

2310
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:10,360
Speaker 1: your friend. It was more like a presidential debate. You talk,

2311
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 1: and then I'll talk, and that's that's how it kind

2312
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:15,240
Speaker 1: of went. And then I'll rebut late and that's what happened.

2313
01:57:15,320 --> 01:57:17,480
Speaker 1: The Bills got the rebuttal late and they won. They won.

2314
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:19,640
Speaker 1: The debate from Ronnie on the tweet sheet, I want

2315
01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:22,080
Speaker 1: to he praise on Alan his heart and drive remind

2316
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 1: me of that guy in Tampa. I guess he means Brady.

2317
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 1: That said, I'm a little concerned about the d Aside

2318
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:31,040
Speaker 1: from some timely plays in the first half, the Rams

2319
01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:33,720
Speaker 1: moved the ball at will. When those plays didn't come

2320
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:38,040
Speaker 1: in the second half, the Rams points rained down and

2321
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:42,600
Speaker 1: they did. It's twenty nine unanswered, twenty nine unanswered. I mean,

2322
01:57:43,160 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 1: the last time that happened against a Bill's defense under

2323
01:57:46,320 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 1: coach McDermott was that New Orleans game, Right, remember that

2324
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:52,840
Speaker 1: New Orleans game here. That was a tough one. I

2325
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:54,880
Speaker 1: was in the stands for that. That's the last time

2326
01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 1: it happened to the degree we witnessed. That Saints game

2327
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,560
Speaker 1: was very ugly. They had no answer for Alvin Kamara, right,

2328
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:04,640
Speaker 1: they had no answer for Drew Brees and the passing game,

2329
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:07,640
Speaker 1: and it was a freight train going downhill. Yeah, there

2330
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:09,120
Speaker 1: was no stop in him that day. And that and

2331
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:10,960
Speaker 1: the build that was as bad as the Bills have

2332
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 1: looked that they looked that year. Uh, and then that

2333
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:17,280
Speaker 1: this last year was the Philly game here in Buffalo

2334
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 1: was their one down game. I don't know that you

2335
01:58:21,400 --> 01:58:25,360
Speaker 1: know this defense. I mean, I'm not going to bail

2336
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:27,280
Speaker 1: on him and you know say everything you listen, throw

2337
01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:29,880
Speaker 1: our hands up. I still think there's a really good defense,

2338
01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:32,879
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna have play well. That offense

2339
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:35,360
Speaker 1: was for real. Yeah, they do have some things to

2340
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:37,000
Speaker 1: clean up. I think they'd be the first to tell

2341
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:39,880
Speaker 1: you that. Um. I don't think Edmonds is one hundred percent.

2342
01:58:39,920 --> 01:58:43,640
Speaker 1: I see him taking angles and to me, it looks

2343
01:58:43,680 --> 01:58:47,080
Speaker 1: like he's protecting Childer not to hit that shoulder. He's

2344
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:49,640
Speaker 1: trying to hit with the wrong shoulder or the other shoulder,

2345
01:58:50,160 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 1: and so trying to put his head on the other

2346
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 1: side of the runner, and it opens up a lane

2347
01:58:55,320 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: back the other way for the runner. I think he

2348
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:59,280
Speaker 1: and I um, and I don't know that he hurt

2349
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:05,160
Speaker 1: himself on that Channing Crowder play against the Jets, but

2350
01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:07,440
Speaker 1: it certainly seems like it was either hurt on that

2351
01:59:07,480 --> 01:59:09,120
Speaker 1: play or before that play, and he was trying to

2352
01:59:09,120 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 1: do the exact same thing. So I don't think a

2353
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 1: bear watching this week. I think so too, because I

2354
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:16,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me. If he's right back in that red

2355
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:19,360
Speaker 1: non contact jersey this week. I'm I'm totally expecting that.

2356
01:59:19,720 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 1: So we have to find out about John Brown. We

2357
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:24,280
Speaker 1: have to find out about Dion Dawkins who left the

2358
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:27,560
Speaker 1: game with the shoulder injury. M Fortunately, Mario Addison was

2359
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:29,520
Speaker 1: just cramping. He just had muscle cramp. He could tell

2360
01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:30,800
Speaker 1: by the way they were treating him on so he

2361
01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:33,840
Speaker 1: should be fine. And Dion Dawkins looked like he was

2362
01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:37,880
Speaker 1: asking to go back on the field after he got hurt.

2363
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that now. He woke up this morning

2364
01:59:39,840 --> 01:59:43,880
Speaker 1: and said, you know right, but during on game day

2365
01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:47,080
Speaker 1: when the adrenaline's pumping, he's like, I'm ready to go

2366
01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:49,160
Speaker 1: if you need me. Yea. And Micah Hyde returned to

2367
01:59:49,200 --> 01:59:52,000
Speaker 1: the game after leaving with an ankle problem, so that's

2368
01:59:52,040 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 1: certainly a good sign. So we'll see. We'll have to

2369
01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 1: see how all those injuries shake out. In addition to

2370
01:59:57,400 --> 01:59:59,720
Speaker 1: the players that are supposed to or at least have

2371
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 1: svent enough time on ir where they're eligible to begin

2372
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 1: practicing if they're healthy enough to do so. Whether they

2373
02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:08,080
Speaker 1: are or they aren't, we'll probably find out later this week.

2374
02:00:08,160 --> 02:00:12,800
Speaker 1: So a lot of player personnel things to shake out

2375
02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:15,280
Speaker 1: through the course of this week. It could change the

2376
02:00:15,320 --> 02:00:18,400
Speaker 1: complexion of the roster if if it goes as it

2377
02:00:18,440 --> 02:00:21,000
Speaker 1: has under Sean McDermott. You kind of get this stuff

2378
02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 1: we've we've seen a lot during training camp, like last

2379
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 1: year with Mitch Morris and with Spain and all those

2380
02:00:27,680 --> 02:00:29,880
Speaker 1: guys going on Spain so much, but Feliciano get an

2381
02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:32,000
Speaker 1: ankle twitch, all those offensive linemen, some of the other

2382
02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:35,960
Speaker 1: soft tissue injuries out on the edge, and I think

2383
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:38,120
Speaker 1: we're kind of seeing around the league all this stuff

2384
02:00:38,200 --> 02:00:41,360
Speaker 1: happened in this first month of the season while these

2385
02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:44,520
Speaker 1: teams get into this starting to compete hard at one

2386
02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:48,080
Speaker 1: hundred percent, which you can't practice at, you can't train at,

2387
02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:49,880
Speaker 1: and all that. And I think once you get through

2388
02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 1: this first month you can get guys back healthy. We

2389
02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:56,360
Speaker 1: may sink back to where we see the injuries kind

2390
02:00:56,360 --> 02:00:59,000
Speaker 1: of go back to normal. I guess is what I'm saying.

2391
02:00:59,120 --> 02:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Dissipated paid a little bit. Yeah, So I don't know

2392
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:04,080
Speaker 1: that that's going to happen. You can hope that it does.

2393
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:08,080
Speaker 1: But still, as we said, some of the guys that

2394
02:01:08,120 --> 02:01:11,600
Speaker 1: have been out early, Josh Norman, John Feliciano. They got

2395
02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:13,360
Speaker 1: a chance now to get back on the field, and

2396
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,560
Speaker 1: you got a chance to mitigate some of the losses.

2397
02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:17,839
Speaker 1: You're felt. All right, break here, but when we return,

2398
02:01:18,120 --> 02:01:21,760

Speaker 1: it's okay. Sky Skype was going to do so Maddie

2413
02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:26,640
Speaker 1: stuck with her Mattie. It's just her and her Mattie

2414
02:02:26,640 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 1: there on right the other end of the skypeline. Yeah,

2415
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:32,640
Speaker 1: so you watch this game, big big seesaw back and

2416
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:35,840
Speaker 1: forth battle although it was a one sided conversation for

2417
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:37,360
Speaker 1: the first half and then the other side of the

2418
02:02:37,400 --> 02:02:40,040
Speaker 1: conversation for the second half. What are you what are

2419
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 1: your takeaways from this third game of the year for

2420
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:46,520
Speaker 1: the Bills. He's moved into three and Oz I woke

2421
02:02:46,600 --> 02:02:49,200
Speaker 1: up this morning and just thinking back to that last

2422
02:02:49,280 --> 02:02:51,400
Speaker 1: drive and the second half of the game, really like

2423
02:02:51,480 --> 02:02:54,160
Speaker 1: my heart started to beat pretty fast again. I was like,

2424
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:56,640
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't go there right now in the morning,

2425
02:02:56,680 --> 02:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just happy we got this win. I

2426
02:02:59,360 --> 02:03:03,240
Speaker 1: can't think back to all the stressful situations that yesterday

2427
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 1: brought about, but glad it finished out in to win,

2428
02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:08,600
Speaker 1: because that's all that matters is that they're three and

2429
02:03:08,720 --> 02:03:11,400
Speaker 1: oh they got put in a tough situation. They were

2430
02:03:11,440 --> 02:03:15,040
Speaker 1: able to come out of it on skates. So with that,

2431
02:03:15,280 --> 02:03:18,640
Speaker 1: should we start off with my difference maker on offense

2432
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:23,600
Speaker 1: for the first award? Absolutely? All right? So my difference

2433
02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:27,040
Speaker 1: maker on offense is Cole Beasley. And that's because I

2434
02:03:27,120 --> 02:03:30,040
Speaker 1: kept going back to that third and twenty two and

2435
02:03:30,120 --> 02:03:34,080
Speaker 1: just how important that play was on that final drive,

2436
02:03:34,120 --> 02:03:37,080
Speaker 1: which resulted in a Tyler Croft touchdown. I mean that

2437
02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:40,000
Speaker 1: third and twenty two. They don't convert that last year,

2438
02:03:40,040 --> 02:03:41,600
Speaker 1: and they do that this year. And I think it

2439
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:45,520
Speaker 1: parts because, yes, Josh Allen is growing up and progressing

2440
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:48,080
Speaker 1: in his game, but it's also because of the chemistry

2441
02:03:48,080 --> 02:03:51,480
Speaker 1: that he's formed with his receivers like Cole Beasley. I

2442
02:03:51,520 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 1: think an increased chemistry means that you convert on some

2443
02:03:54,600 --> 02:03:58,120
Speaker 1: of those plays. Cole Beasley also had an eighteen yard

2444
02:03:58,200 --> 02:04:01,240
Speaker 1: catch in the first play of that last drive. He

2445
02:04:01,280 --> 02:04:05,040
Speaker 1: had some big receptions yesterday, also a twenty nine yard

2446
02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:07,960
Speaker 1: reception in the second half of that game as well.

2447
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I think he's had a quiet hot start to the

2448
02:04:10,920 --> 02:04:15,240
Speaker 1: season's He's averaging sixteen point seven yards per reception in

2449
02:04:15,400 --> 02:04:18,560
Speaker 1: yesterday's game. From the one hundred receiving yards. He has

2450
02:04:18,600 --> 02:04:21,760
Speaker 1: a career high right now fifteen point two yards per

2451
02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:25,840
Speaker 1: reception over the last three games, totaling two twenty eight

2452
02:04:25,920 --> 02:04:28,680
Speaker 1: receiving yards. So really happy with what Cole Beasley has

2453
02:04:28,720 --> 02:04:31,880
Speaker 1: been able to do with this offense through three weeks. Yeah,

2454
02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:34,320
Speaker 1: I hit one hundred yards yesterday and got fifty nine

2455
02:04:34,320 --> 02:04:37,280
Speaker 1: of them on the final drive, so he was instrumental.

2456
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:40,320
Speaker 1: And it was interesting that Josh Allen mentioned that he

2457
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:43,320
Speaker 1: and Cole on that third and twenty two conversion, it

2458
02:04:43,400 --> 02:04:45,560
Speaker 1: was a play that they had talked about all the

2459
02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:48,480
Speaker 1: way back to last year in Week one, and he said,

2460
02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Josh tried to hit me on it in Week one

2461
02:04:50,920 --> 02:04:54,680
Speaker 1: against the Jets last year and I wasn't ready for it.

2462
02:04:54,720 --> 02:04:57,040
Speaker 1: And we talked about it then and several times thereafter,

2463
02:04:57,160 --> 02:04:59,160
Speaker 1: and look it comes up again and it works this time.

2464
02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:00,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's flip but to the other side of

2465
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:04,720
Speaker 1: the ball. Madding defensive difference maker of the game. My

2466
02:05:04,840 --> 02:05:07,920
Speaker 1: defensive difference maker is someone who got picked on last

2467
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:11,600
Speaker 1: week by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitz has picked on this player before,

2468
02:05:11,960 --> 02:05:15,400
Speaker 1: and it was Levi Wallace. For me, Levi had some

2469
02:05:15,440 --> 02:05:19,480
Speaker 1: shots at him in a Week two against the Miami Dolphins,

2470
02:05:19,480 --> 02:05:22,480
Speaker 1: but you know what, he came back with confidence against

2471
02:05:23,520 --> 02:05:27,520
Speaker 1: last night's game. He had that interception which was going

2472
02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:32,120
Speaker 1: to Van Jefferson, I want to say, coming from Jared Goff,

2473
02:05:32,240 --> 02:05:35,680
Speaker 1: and this guy has a lot of confidence. And Leslie

2474
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Fraser said I believe last week he said, if Levi

2475
02:05:40,400 --> 02:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Wallace wants him the attention off him, he's gonna have

2476
02:05:43,120 --> 02:05:45,600
Speaker 1: to make a play and he's gonna have to show

2477
02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:48,880
Speaker 1: don't throw over by my direction because I'm gonna make

2478
02:05:48,920 --> 02:05:50,920
Speaker 1: plays on the ball. And that's exactly what he did,

2479
02:05:50,960 --> 02:05:54,720
Speaker 1: intercepting Jared Goff's pass intended for the rookie Van Jefferson.

2480
02:05:54,840 --> 02:05:57,960
Speaker 1: So Levi Wallace also said last week confidence is the

2481
02:05:58,040 --> 02:06:01,480
Speaker 1: most important thing a corner can have, and I think

2482
02:06:01,520 --> 02:06:05,240
Speaker 1: he showed that yesterday and showed why he's valuable to

2483
02:06:05,360 --> 02:06:09,520
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah. I think most Bills fans took it

2484
02:06:09,600 --> 02:06:11,600
Speaker 1: as a great sign when in the first half of

2485
02:06:11,640 --> 02:06:15,440
Speaker 1: that game golf got picked off by a topic of

2486
02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:18,520
Speaker 1: conversation from the week before, Levi Wallace did get picked on.

2487
02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:22,440
Speaker 1: When when people saw Levi step in and pick that

2488
02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:24,440
Speaker 1: ball off, they I think most people thought it was

2489
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:26,320
Speaker 1: going to be a pretty good day for the Bills defense,

2490
02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:29,280
Speaker 1: knowing that there their number two cornerback was going to

2491
02:06:29,320 --> 02:06:31,240
Speaker 1: step up to the plate like he did. I thought.

2492
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I think Bills fans got a lot of stress relief

2493
02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:36,240
Speaker 1: from that pick. Yeah, yeah, And you know, I think

2494
02:06:36,280 --> 02:06:38,320
Speaker 1: they wanted to see something from Levi and they got

2495
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:40,400
Speaker 1: that yesterday in the form of a big play. Now

2496
02:06:40,400 --> 02:06:42,440
Speaker 1: he's just got to continue to carry that level of

2497
02:06:42,480 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 1: play through the next several weeks because he got another

2498
02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:48,000
Speaker 1: high flying offense coming out in Las Vegas this week,

2499
02:06:48,040 --> 02:06:50,840
Speaker 1: and the Raiders they can't stop anybody on defense, but

2500
02:06:50,880 --> 02:06:53,480
Speaker 1: they can put up points. All Right, Maddie, this one

2501
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:55,640
Speaker 1: is probably an easy one for everybody to guess. But

2502
02:06:55,720 --> 02:07:00,320
Speaker 1: your comeback king, comeback king, it's got to be Josh

2503
02:07:00,360 --> 02:07:05,120
Speaker 1: Allen himself. With a fourth quarter comeback last night yesterday.

2504
02:07:05,160 --> 02:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Now he has seven from last season to this season.

2505
02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:11,560
Speaker 1: He leads the league and that stat had a fourth

2506
02:07:11,600 --> 02:07:15,360
Speaker 1: quarter comeback already this season before the fourth quarter comeback

2507
02:07:15,560 --> 02:07:19,360
Speaker 1: against the Rams yesterday. And to think about his stats

2508
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:22,440
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, you look at as a quarterback

2509
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:24,800
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and everything pretty much goes up,

2510
02:07:24,880 --> 02:07:28,440
Speaker 1: which is pretty incredible. It's crazy to watch how confident

2511
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:32,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen becomes when the clock strikes the fourth quarter.

2512
02:07:32,640 --> 02:07:35,800
Speaker 1: He loves it and accepts the stage that a close

2513
02:07:35,880 --> 02:07:38,680
Speaker 1: fourth quarter game gives him. It's like there's no nerves

2514
02:07:38,720 --> 02:07:41,240
Speaker 1: at all. He just wants to do whatever he can

2515
02:07:41,280 --> 02:07:44,480
Speaker 1: do to get a win for his team. This game

2516
02:07:44,560 --> 02:07:47,760
Speaker 1: definitely had playoff feelings. It kind of brought me back

2517
02:07:47,760 --> 02:07:50,920
Speaker 1: to that Houston Texans playoff game from last year and

2518
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:54,560
Speaker 1: to have a game that was this tight in Week three,

2519
02:07:54,600 --> 02:07:57,160
Speaker 1: playing against such a talented team in the Rams, and

2520
02:07:57,200 --> 02:07:59,200
Speaker 1: to come out of it with a win. I think

2521
02:07:59,200 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 1: this team can take a lot of learning lessons from

2522
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:03,840
Speaker 1: this game as they go into the rest of the

2523
02:08:03,880 --> 02:08:07,280
Speaker 1: season and face some really tough opponents coming up here

2524
02:08:07,320 --> 02:08:09,840
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks, and of course looking towards

2525
02:08:09,840 --> 02:08:12,120
Speaker 1: the end of the season as well. Yeah, I mean,

2526
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:14,960
Speaker 1: he's leading the AFC and fourth quarter passer rating right

2527
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:18,400
Speaker 1: now with one thirty eight point three seventy two percent

2528
02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:22,400
Speaker 1: completion and ten point eight one yards per attempt in

2529
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:27,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. It's ridiculous. Yeah, it's pretty silly moving

2530
02:08:27,760 --> 02:08:31,120
Speaker 1: along here because we're tight on time. Maddie, your hats off, award,

2531
02:08:32,640 --> 02:08:34,440
Speaker 1: hats off. It's got to go to the tight ends.

2532
02:08:34,680 --> 02:08:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen this team roll out a lot

2533
02:08:37,120 --> 02:08:39,760
Speaker 1: of ten personnel, a lot of eleven personnel in weeks one,

2534
02:08:39,800 --> 02:08:43,600
Speaker 1: in Week two, and in weeks week three without Dawson Knox,

2535
02:08:43,640 --> 02:08:45,680
Speaker 1: you're kind of wondering, Okay, how are the tight ends

2536
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:47,480
Speaker 1: going to get involved in this game? Are they going

2537
02:08:47,520 --> 02:08:49,720
Speaker 1: to get involved in this game? And you see Lee

2538
02:08:49,720 --> 02:08:53,320
Speaker 1: Smith activated for the first time all season. He's thrown

2539
02:08:53,400 --> 02:08:56,600
Speaker 1: one pass and it's a touchdown passa no time to

2540
02:08:56,640 --> 02:08:59,120
Speaker 1: warm up at all. He's brought right into the game

2541
02:08:59,320 --> 02:09:02,040
Speaker 1: and he x accused putting six points on the board

2542
02:09:02,040 --> 02:09:04,440
Speaker 1: for the first touchdown of the game. And then Tyler

2543
02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:08,160
Speaker 1: Croft coming up big. Tyler and Lee combined for just

2544
02:09:08,200 --> 02:09:10,480
Speaker 1: twenty five receiving yards, but it was good for three

2545
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:13,840
Speaker 1: total touchdowns in the game. And just to think about

2546
02:09:13,880 --> 02:09:16,520
Speaker 1: the season that Tyler Croft had last year and all

2547
02:09:16,520 --> 02:09:19,000
Speaker 1: the setbacks, the injuries, and to see him come out

2548
02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:21,760
Speaker 1: strong in this game with two touchdowns, you just got

2549
02:09:21,760 --> 02:09:23,320
Speaker 1: to feel good for a guy like that in the

2550
02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:26,360
Speaker 1: tight ends as a whole. Now we got to widen

2551
02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:28,440
Speaker 1: our scope just for one second and go down to

2552
02:09:28,480 --> 02:09:31,200
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. What did you talk about? How

2553
02:09:31,240 --> 02:09:35,480
Speaker 1: did you do that? Award this from the Greater n Yeah,

2554
02:09:35,520 --> 02:09:38,160
Speaker 1: how did you do that? It's it's gonna go to

2555
02:09:38,200 --> 02:09:41,160
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. This is one of my favorite players in

2556
02:09:41,200 --> 02:09:43,959
Speaker 1: the league. We knew each other when I worked at Tennessee.

2557
02:09:44,040 --> 02:09:45,960
Speaker 1: He was playing at Tennessee. Love to see him have

2558
02:09:46,040 --> 02:09:48,880
Speaker 1: success in the game. He had a fifty two yard

2559
02:09:48,920 --> 02:09:52,680
Speaker 1: touchdown reception to tie this game at twenty seven and

2560
02:09:52,720 --> 02:09:57,440
Speaker 1: as you watch this play, he breaks six tackles, which

2561
02:09:57,480 --> 02:10:01,040
Speaker 1: is incredible. In that game, he had fifty rushing yards.

2562
02:10:01,080 --> 02:10:04,840
Speaker 1: He was averaging nine point seven yards per carry yesterday.

2563
02:10:05,200 --> 02:10:08,440
Speaker 1: So Alvin Kamara just doing Alvin Kamara things, making you

2564
02:10:08,760 --> 02:10:11,160
Speaker 1: scratch your head at a play like that, missing all

2565
02:10:11,200 --> 02:10:14,000
Speaker 1: those tackles, finding your way into the end zone. Also

2566
02:10:14,080 --> 02:10:16,839
Speaker 1: had a one hundred and thirty nine receiving yards, so great,

2567
02:10:17,040 --> 02:10:19,720
Speaker 1: great game for him. On a side note, Alvin Kamara

2568
02:10:19,760 --> 02:10:22,200
Speaker 1: saved my bacon and fantasy football this week, so he's

2569
02:10:22,200 --> 02:10:24,600
Speaker 1: gonna help me win this week. So thank you, Alvin Kamara.

2570
02:10:24,680 --> 02:10:28,040
Speaker 1: He gets an award for me too. Moving along the

2571
02:10:28,480 --> 02:10:32,400
Speaker 1: never give up award, never give up. You know what,

2572
02:10:33,520 --> 02:10:36,120
Speaker 1: if you get beat on what looks to be a

2573
02:10:36,160 --> 02:10:40,240
Speaker 1: touchdown reception and you're a couple steps behind, you know what,

2574
02:10:40,360 --> 02:10:43,640
Speaker 1: just keep running towards that receiver because the receiver may

2575
02:10:43,680 --> 02:10:45,560
Speaker 1: give up a little bit and you may have a

2576
02:10:45,720 --> 02:10:48,760
Speaker 1: chance to punch the ball out. And that's exactly what

2577
02:10:48,840 --> 02:10:53,040
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs did against DK Metcalf. Watch this throw from

2578
02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, just a beautiful pass placed perfectly. Treyvon Diggs. Nope,

2579
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give up. I'm gonna punch it out.

2580
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:04,840
Speaker 1: He forces a touchback. Dec Metcalf relaxed a little bit,

2581
02:11:04,960 --> 02:11:07,800
Speaker 1: and here comes the rookie step on Digg's brother to

2582
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:12,000
Speaker 1: punch it out. That's why you never give up. Yeah,

2583
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:14,840
Speaker 1: fell about that type of play. I think it happened

2584
02:11:14,880 --> 02:11:17,520
Speaker 1: in the ninety three Super Bowl. Everybody thinks it was you,

2585
02:11:17,920 --> 02:11:20,400
Speaker 1: but was it. I was chasing a guy, but it

2586
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:23,120
Speaker 1: was Don Beebe. I was chasing too, but I was

2587
02:11:23,160 --> 02:11:26,520
Speaker 1: about thirty five yards behind. Yeah, and Babes ran down.

2588
02:11:26,680 --> 02:11:28,560
Speaker 1: Leon Letting knocked the ball. It's the same play. The

2589
02:11:28,560 --> 02:11:30,840
Speaker 1: ball gets knocked out of the offense's hand in the

2590
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:33,000
Speaker 1: in the field of play, it goes through the end

2591
02:11:33,080 --> 02:11:35,920
Speaker 1: zone you're trying to get to and goes through the

2592
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:37,880
Speaker 1: end zone. It's a touch back for the defense and

2593
02:11:37,920 --> 02:11:40,120
Speaker 1: they get the football. It's a turnover. So um and

2594
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:43,240
Speaker 1: we're watching it on MSG. Look at our guys, Look

2595
02:11:43,240 --> 02:11:47,800
Speaker 1: at look at Jeff coltonac and Tom Hollander get pulling

2596
02:11:47,840 --> 02:11:51,160
Speaker 1: out the Don Beeby right out of the archive bing

2597
02:11:51,280 --> 02:11:53,600
Speaker 1: bought a boom. Look at that, mad remember this too.

2598
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:55,160
Speaker 1: I got back in the huddle after that play and

2599
02:11:55,200 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't breathe, and they sucked all the oxygen out

2600
02:11:57,600 --> 02:11:59,600
Speaker 1: of the air in that stadium. So, Maddie, I know

2601
02:11:59,680 --> 02:12:02,120
Speaker 1: you had a pretty cool moment. Award the two female

2602

Speaker 1: coaches and the female official in the Washington Cleveland game

2603
02:12:04,840 --> 02:12:07,600
Speaker 1: certainly a cool moment for the league, but also for

2604
02:12:07,680 --> 02:12:09,840
Speaker 1: females who are trying to break into the coaching ranks

2605
