1
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live, presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: All right, we're here back in studio, players back on

3
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 2: the practice field. It's a Wednesday here on One Bill's Live.

4
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and we'll get right

5
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: into it here. We'll also hear from head coach Sean

6
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: McDermott a little bit later in this segment as he

7
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: addressed the media last hour. We'll re wreck that for

8
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: you as he addressed a number of things injury as

9
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: well as suspensions. And we should get into that because,

10
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: as you probably already know, breaking late yesterday afternoon, von

11
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Miller will miss the next four games after he was

12
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: handed a four game suspension by the league for violation

13
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 2: of the league's personal conduct policy. This has not been confirmed,

14
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: but it has been speculated by the media that it

15
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: stems from him turning himself in when there was a

16
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: warrant out for his arrest last November during the bye

17
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: week in Dallas after an alleged domestic incident. The one

18
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: thing that was not asked today was whether von Miller

19
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: intends to appeal the suspension. He does have that right,

20
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: but presuming he does not, he will miss the next

21
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: four games for the Bills, including Sunday's game in Houston.

22
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: So that is that, and we'll play.

23
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: Coach Shaw mcdermot's comments on that subject a little bit

24
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: later this segment so you can get the exact feedback

25
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: from Buffalo's head.

26
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: Coach on it.

27
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: Injury report for the Bills got a little bit longer.

28
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: I don't think there were any surprises if you saw

29
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: who was coming in and out of the game last

30
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: Sunday night. But injury reports and practice updates are presented

31
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: by LEECOM your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. And

32
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: we'll start with the players not participating in practice. First,

33
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: left Tackleteon Dawkins, who has a hamstring injury. I saw

34
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: this just being there last Sunday night, But every time

35
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: he came out of the game, almost from the very beginning,

36
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: he was heading into the medical tent, and I'm presuming

37
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: the athletic trainers were working that hamstring out so he

38
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: could continue to play finish the game. But Dawkins not

39
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: participating in practice today due to that hamstring injury, and

40
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: we'll see where.

41
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: It leads through the rest of the week.

42
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: Austin Johnson only played seven snaps last week, and we

43
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: found out why he has an oblique injury and is

44
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: not practicing today either. Taylor Rapp remains in concussion protocol.

45
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakir not practicing due to an ankle injury. He

46
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: got rolled up on a play early in that game

47
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: and had to get retaped and was testing it along

48
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: the sidelines for the long possession that the Ravens had

49
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: on offense, so he had plenty of time to kind

50
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: of test it out, get retaped, tested again, and then

51
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: he was able to re enter the game and play

52
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: as well. The good news is Tarren Johnson and Terrell

53
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: Bernard both on the practice field, albeit on a limited basis.

54
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: So that's kind of where those things stand right now,

55
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: and we'll just kind of see how things progress.

56
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: Through the course of the week as it's as.

57
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: Regular a week as the Bills have had in some

58
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: time here with their last three games being in primetime.

59
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Taylor Wraps concussion and of course Dion Dawkins hamstring. Yeah,

60
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: they're concerning. You don't want to lose your left left tackle.

61
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir's ankle. I mean, I don't think it's a

62
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: high ankle.

63
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: He got rolled up from behind at the end of

64
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: a play when he got tackled.

65
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: So hopefully it's a regular ankle spring.

66
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: Right, exactly, like one that we can all relate to. So, yeah,

67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: but Shakir and Dion on the offensive side of the ball,

68
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: that that's a problem.

69
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: First time the offense has really been nicked. Yeah, so

70
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 3: far this season.

71
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, if Dion got through the game and can

72
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: get some days rest, you know, I don't know how

73
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, you would think he would be completely help

74
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: the if he gave him the week off in.

75
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: Houston, right, And I don't think we can dismiss the

76
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: fact that the Bills have a very important division game

77
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: next week at the Jets.

78
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with Khalil, And on top of that.

79
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: You would get an additional day because it's a Monday night.

80
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Game, right, So it's the same thing with Khalil as well.

81
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: He you know, this culture in this they have always

82
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: been really conservative bringing guys back from injury. But we'll see.

83
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: Because they like to avoid recurrence, right, they don't like

84
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: injury or stuff lingers, you know, and we all we've

85
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: all seen it, but.

86
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see. You know, neither one is they're

87
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: they're both seemed to be like day to day injuries

88
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: finger quotes. But you know, we'll see. I'm yeah, the

89
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: ankle doesn't scare me with Shakir uh. The hamstring for

90
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: Dion is what it is. I mean, we've also, you know,

91
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: we've been through a million hamstrings in the in the NFL,

92
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: so you kind of know it well.

93
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 2: And there are different degrees of hamstring injuries too. Is

94
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: it a grade one pull, a grade two pull, a

95
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: grade three pull.

96
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: They can test it and find out and they'll give

97
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: you a timeline exactly when he's going to be ready

98
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: to play. Now, playing left tackles different with a hamstring

99
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: than it is playing wide receiver, that is true, or corner. Nevertheless,

100
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's a sliding scale there for

101
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: how conservative they're going to be with left tackle, you know, right.

102
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's that's a critical position, as we all know,

103
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: and it's even more critical this week against a team

104
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: that has bookend pass rushers in former number two overall

105
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: pick Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter, who they picked up

106
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: in free agency signing him away from Minnesota.

107
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: So you've got those two pass rushers.

108
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: At work entering this game. You don't have your left tackle,

109
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: and that would be and Ryan Vandermark would be the

110
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: next man up. So that's kind of where that would

111
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: stand if for some reason Dion could not get back

112
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: in time to play in this game.

113
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: But again, we'll have to.

114
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: See how the week moves along for all of these players,

115
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: and hopefully they're on the men sooner rather than later.

116
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: Let's quickly go around the NFL. Here around the NFL

117
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: presented by a lot of health the official healthcare system

118
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. Von Miller wasn't the only suspension yesterday.

119
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown's rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Junior five games

120
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: without pay for violating the league's personal conduct policy as well.

121
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: Hall pleaded no contest in September to reduce charge of

122
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: disorderly conduct stemming from a domestic altercation in the summer,

123
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: and will be eligible for reinstatement after the Browns game

124
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: against the Washington in Commanders.

125
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: So that's kind of.

126
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: Where that's at. It's interesting because Miller's situation happened last November.

127
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: This one happened just this past summer, but got adjudicated quickly,

128
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: So I'm guessing that's what led to the suspension now

129
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: the case was finalized, so then the league can step

130
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: in and hand down punishment.

131
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: So there it is.

132
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: Because I know a lot of people out there are like,

133
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: how comer she Rice hasn't gotten a suspension yet. That's

134
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: probably gonna come next year. Yeah, because because it's still

135
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: bopped down in the court.

136
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: It's a bigger deal because there's a ton of injured

137
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: people involved. And yeah, that has that's going to take

138
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: a while to get it fully through the court system.

139
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: And then and the league is this seems new to me?

140
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: Is it is it new? No, because they wait through

141
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: all the court stuff all that.

142
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: I remember Marcel Darius got busted for a synthetic marijuana

143
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: the summer right before training camp. He played all of

144
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: that season, and then the following year, right before the

145
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: season started, he got suspended a game for that.

146
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: So it took a.

147
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: Whole calendar year before punishment was handed down by the league.

148
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: So this is not the first time we've seen this.

149
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, at least, well it's a smart way to

150
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: do it. You figure the league sometimes they take I

151
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: say this all the time. It takes them a long time,

152
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: but they usually get every issue just about right. Yeah,

153
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: And waiting until it's all done in the legal system

154
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: before they even approach it is probably the smart way

155
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: to go.

156
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: In some news that could not be described as more raidary,

157
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: Raiders wide receiver DeVante Adams told the Las Vegas Raiders

158
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: that he would prefer to be traded at this point

159
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: in time. This in the wake of an Instagram post

160
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: that stated that Adams may have played his last snap

161
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: as a race and it was liked by head coach

162
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: Antonio Pierce.

163
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: You can't make that stuff up. There's a random post

164
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: out there that says Adams may have played his last

165
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: game in a Raiders uniform and the head coach of

166
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: the team likes it.

167
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: What a world we're living in?

168
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: Is that amazing?

169
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is kind of amazing.

170
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: It's amazing to me.

171
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the Jets and the

172
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: Saints are the front runners for adams services because Adams

173
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: would like to play with a quarterback.

174
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: That he knows.

175
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: Obviously, he played with Derek Carr last year before the

176
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: Raiders dumped him, and then he played most of his

177
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: career with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, so that would

178
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: obviously shorten the learning curve. Should he be traded to

179
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: one of those teams. This has already been floated out there, Steve,

180
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: As far as the Jets are concerned, trade Hassan Reddick

181
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: for DeVante Adams. The Raiders are down a pass rusher.

182
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: Welcome Koon's former UB player who lines up opposite Max

183
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: Crosby is on IR right now, so you could argue

184
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: they need a pass rusher. I don't know if they

185
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: have any interest in signing him to an extension because

186
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: they just gave Max Crosby big money, but that's already

187
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: been floated out there as a.

188
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 3: One for one possibility.

189
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, either way, that's interesting the Jets.

190
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: He's gonna get moved the Jets the deadline.

191
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: The Jets would love that deal, and they have cap space,

192
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: they would love the deal. I don't know the Raiders

193
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: are that keen on it.

194
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll see if some kind of deal can

195
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: be struck. There are some that believe the Saints might

196
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: have the inside track, but we'll have to wait and

197
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: see how that all shakes out, and ultimately what the

198
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: compensation is too, and how much of the bill the

199
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: Raiders are going to pay because they have cap space too,

200
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 2: and I got to imagine that a team taking on

201
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: Adam's salary is going to see how much the Raiders

202
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: will fit the bill for it to get him off

203
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 2: the roster.

204
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing they is if you have a.

205
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: Guy that doesn't want to be there, that that can

206
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: linger and be a major distraction for your team.

207
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean it's a huge issue because because

208
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: it's nobody wants to play in that environment, and if

209
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: nobody wants to play, you ain't gonna win any games.

210
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: It's that simple. It's been floated out there for those

211
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: of you are having trouble following this conversation that if

212
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: somebody wants to trade for Davante Adams from the Raiders,

213
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: they would ask the Raiders to convert all of his salary,

214
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: which is a good chunk, into bonus, which means the

215
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: Raiders would pay it and then trade him away and

216
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: he'd make you know, a lesser amount for the new team. Yeah,

217
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: everybody jump at that. Great. So if the Raiders really

218
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: want to move him, they can do that. But how

219
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Yeah, if they're willing to do that, that

220
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: means the price goes up. You're gonna have to give

221
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: me instead of giving me a four or five for

222
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick. You're gonna give me a one

223
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: or a two. You're gonna give me a draft pick.

224
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a starter for me. Right, so if

225
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna pay that money, so yeah, that's it's give

226
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: and take. But it does open up the door to

227
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: a lot more interested parties like Buffalo.

228
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: Right, you know I did here already.

229
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: One of the national reporters, I think it was Tom

230
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: Pilli Saler from NFL Network said several teams have already

231
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: acquired and have moved on because of the asking price.

232
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: Sure, there you go, there you go.

233
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you do your due diligence. You make a

234
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: phone call, explore express exploratory interest, find out what the

235
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: compensation is, what about it, how much they're willing to

236
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: negotiate or haggle on the compensation, and then take it

237
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: from there. And some teams already do not like what's

238
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: being asked for and have moved on.

239
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: And here's the thing too, the thing that's the difference

240
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: maker for all these teams, Like say, nobody wants to

241
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: give a number one.

242
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: I mean he's already thirty two.

243
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: I forget, nobody's given a number one. They'll say, hey,

244
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: will you give us a three and this really cool

245
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: player that we see on your roster that nobody else has,

246
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, and they'll say, oh, okay. Maybe. Then it's

247
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: like like they'll say that to the Jets, and they'll

248
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: say that to the Bills, and we want this other

249
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: player from you. They will give you. You give us

250
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: a three and we'll give it this. We won't have

251
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: our eye on this other player from you.

252
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: Right.

253
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: So, yeah, there's that kind of thing going on, and

254
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: so each team has a different offer because they have

255
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: a different player that the Raiders might take in it

256
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: in return. That's where the conversation gets a little deeper,

257
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: and you know, and it's hard to know. It's hard

258
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: to know.

259
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: Yes, So we'll have to see where that goes, because

260
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: that could change the landscape of the division if he

261
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: lands with the Jets.

262
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

263
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: I mean, we were just talking to Dan Orlowski yesterday.

264
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: And he was saying, I think the Jets offense has

265
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: a problem right now, but if they could land somebody

266
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: like DeVante Adams, that would certainly put them in stronger

267
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: contention for the division, which right now anyway seems like

268
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: a two horse race. With where the Patriots are and

269
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: where the Dolphins are. Mike McDaniel is getting breaked over

270
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: the coals down there by fans, And really, I'm not

271
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: sure I understand it. You just lost your starting quarterback,

272
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: your number two quarterback, and you're expecting the offense to.

273
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: Hum like a well oiled machine.

274
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: I mean, even their starting running backs out in Raheem

275
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: Moster that the Dolphins to a certain extent look unfortunate

276
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,119
Speaker 2: circumstances concerning their quarterback, but they have a patchwork offensive

277
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: line and said, well, two, it gets it out so fast.

278
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: We don't need a great offensive line.

279
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: Well, now, they can't run the ball either, and they've

280
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: got a world of problems on the offensive side of

281
00:15:59,400 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: the ball.

282
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: Like the last I watched this. Well, a lot of

283
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: Bills fans watched the Dolphin game the other night against

284
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: and I can't even remember who they were playing now,

285
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: but that they he drops back to pass and Tyreek

286
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: on a couple of occasions. I said this yesterday. Tyreek

287
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: is wide open down the field and the guy can't

288
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: find him, can't He throws it to him, but he

289
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: can't put it on him. Tyree can't even touch it.

290
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: He underthrows him one time, and then he overthrows him

291
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: the next time. So that's a well.

292
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: That's a byproduct of not even practice. What do they

293
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: got three practices in?

294
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: That's the problem. It's a problem because Tyreek's, you know,

295
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: a unique cat, takes a little practice to get used

296
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: to what he can do and how open he can get.

297
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: And it was, you know, so I and Mike McDaniel

298
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: was highly was highly thought of because of his ability

299
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: to craft that thing around to his skill set. Well,

300
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's got an off season in a training

301
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: camp to do that. Now he's got two days right

302
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: to fit it around Huntley's I think the reason ever.

303
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: Taking so much criticism is because of what's happening in

304
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: Green Bay. Malik Willis has acquired August twenty sixth, that's

305
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: the backup quarterback. He has to play week two, Week.

306
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: Three, and he wins. And David Lafleur or Matt Lafleur.

307
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 3: I always mix those guys up.

308
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: Runs a very similar offense coming off the Shanahan Tree

309
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: to what McDaniel does.

310
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 3: So, but the Dolphins fans are like, well, what's the

311
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: problem here.

312
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't get it, me too, Sour Gray us too.

313
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: You should do exactly what that guy's doing.

314
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 2: In other AFC's news, the Patriots do not have a

315
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 2: good offensive line to begin with, and now they're losing

316
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: the anchor on that line for the season. Head coach

317
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: Girodmeo confirmed today that David Andrews needs season ending shoulder

318
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: surgery and is done for the year. That is a

319
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: bad development there for them, and they don't need any

320
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: more problems because they got enough already. So New England

321
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: is doing the slow burn into irrelevant here. Well, actually

322
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: maybe a fast burn because they got all kinds of

323
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: problems on offense. It's gone from bad to worse. Colts

324
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: running back Jonathan Taylor not practicing today due to an

325
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: ankle achery he suffered last week against the Steelers. Jets

326
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: quarterback Aaron Rodgers listed on New York's injury report, but

327
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: he is supposed to practice fully today, and then another

328
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: Dolphins note wide receiver, Odell Beckham Junior, is going to

329
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: practice with the team this week. He had been on

330
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: pup pretty much since he signed, so whether he is

331
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: able to get far enough along where he's considered for

332
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: game action.

333
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: Will have to wait and see.

334
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: On that he will have to be added to the

335
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 2: team's active roster, so he's basically.

336
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 3: From reserve pup.

337
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 2: His twenty one day practice window has now opened, so

338
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: he can practice for up to three weeks, and then

339
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: they have to make a decision do you put him

340
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 2: on season ending injured reserve or do you put him

341
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: on the active roster. So that's a decision they'll have

342
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: to make at least three weeks from now, that is

343
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: when the deadline is. And then Cleveland, here's some good news.

344
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: They designated running backs Nick Chubb and Nyhim Hines to

345
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: return to practice this week. It's been over a year

346
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: for Hines since his unfortunate jet skiing accident, which was

347
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: not his fault at all. He's idling, filling up with

348
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: gas and just gets run over by a drunk jet

349
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: skier and tears his acl. I mean, you want to

350
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: talk about bad luck man, good lords.

351
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: When he was obviously we will remember he still with

352
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: the Bills. He was a Buffalo Bill at the time,

353
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: just about to start training camp. It couldn't have happened

354
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: at a worst time. And now he's just now bad

355
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: for that kid, Oh my gosh. Thirteen months later, getting

356
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: back on the field.

357
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to pivot now. That's around the NFL.

358
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: We want to pivot now to head coach Sean McDermott

359
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: and the comments he made just about an hour ago

360
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 2: when he addressed the mediation.

361
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 5: As not having bond Miller a month after the suspension

362
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 5: was an aces.

363
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's certainly an unfortunate situation, John, and uh we

364
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 6: respect the decision made by the league and really it's

365
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 6: out of our control. And what we need to focus

366
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 6: on is is UH is a I it's an opportunity

367
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 6: for someone on our football team to to step up.

368
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 7: Did not specify that are we would assume that it

369
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 7: was based on the investigation from last year.

370
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: Uh, I can't.

371
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 6: I'm not in a position to go into the details

372
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 6: on it, sou. So that's you know, you can assume

373
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: what you can assume. That's where we're at on it.

374
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 8: So those are the timing of this a surprise or

375
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 8: did you notice what's coming.

376
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 9: At aut Uh?

377
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 6: Just as of the last couple of days. Really we

378
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 6: were being notified here.

379
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: So what is it?

380
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 5: What type of pressure does a place on a defense

381
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 5: that you know, you might have Bernard back, thrill back,

382
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 5: you might have tearing back, but for defense. It's gone

383
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 5: through some upkeable already by four weeks into the season.

384
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, the job is to move forward, right certainly,

385
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 6: understand what you're saying. And I've really been proud of

386
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 6: the way that guys have stepped up. You know, they've

387
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 6: They've had to deal with quite a few situations injuries

388
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 6: now in this case the suspension with Vaughn, So I

389
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 6: expect the same quite honestly, somebody's.

390
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: Going to step up.

391
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 6: That's what's in that locker room. Somebody needs to step up,

392
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 6: and they have to this point.

393
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 10: To clarify with the suspension of this nature.

394
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 7: Can Bond be at the facility or is it one

395
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 7: where he can't be here?

396
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not going to get into again, just out

397
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 6: of respect for the situation, I'm not going to get

398
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 6: into any other details right now.

399
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 5: Okay, Sean with DNS hamstring, is that something that you're

400
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: doing trying to be smart about with it in early

401
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 5: in the league or is there legit concern about whether

402
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 5: or not he'll.

403
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: Make it for some day.

404
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 6: Probably a little bit of both somewhere in between. Joe,

405
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 6: you know, he's getting treatment, won't practice today. So anytime

406
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 6: someone doesn't practice, you are concerned came up in the

407
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 6: game naturally, and and so we had to manage things

408
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 6: a little bit there. But but I'm proud of what

409
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 6: he was able to do in the game and push

410
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 6: through it like.

411
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 11: He did, Brandon said on Bond. When more on Bond

412
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 11: and I respect you can't go too much into it,

413
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 11: Brandon said kind of over the course of a few

414
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 11: months that based on what you guys knew, you were

415
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 11: comfortable with the fact that he was still here kind

416
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 11: of standing behind him. Did this kind of catch you

417
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 11: guys by surprise as an organization at all that he

418
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 11: was suspended?

419
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 6: What you learn again, just you know, when you look

420
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 6: at it again, what we know of it is the

421
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 6: league has to go about their process and that's really

422
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 6: where we are as a team and a club as

423
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 6: it relates to the overall situation and how it came

424
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 6: down and the decision.

425
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 8: Do you see Javon Solomon as being maybe the first

426
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 8: guy that you think of as far as an expanded

427
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 8: opportunity here?

428
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 6: Potentially, Yeah, Jay, potentially, we'll see. I mean again, it's

429
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 6: it's it's there's no you know, accurate, there's no replacement

430
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: for you know, total replacement for a player like that,

431
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 6: It'll be the sum of the parts really, and that's

432
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 6: and that's important overall regardless of a situation like this.

433
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 6: But we've got to we've got to really buy into

434
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 6: that team first philosophy up front on defense and and

435
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 6: help each other out right, So feed each other, because

436
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 6: that's really how.

437
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: How it works.

438
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 6: You know, when one when one player gets gets penetration

439
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 6: in the other he may not get the sack, but

440
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 6: he he pushes you know him the quarterback in this case,

441
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 6: to another player and they get the sact. So that'll

442
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 6: be important for us for sure in this situation, but

443
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 6: overall as well.

444
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 7: Hey, Sean, understanding that Baltimore is unique with the way

445
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 7: they can run the ball with Lamarre and Henry, what

446
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 7: are some of the concerns though moving forward because obviously

447
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 7: if mix and plays, you know, he's a.

448
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 5: Very good runner too. What you got some problems last week?

449
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 12: How do you rectify that?

450
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, it starts by just it starts by being

451
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 6: more physical and making sure we're playing better at the

452
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 6: point of attack, and that mindset has to has to

453
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 6: be there for us, and then we go into our

454
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 6: base run fundamentals, right, because to your point, Mixing is

455
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 6: a heck of a football player, and and you can

456
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 6: certainly see it when he's been healthy this year, and

457
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 6: and so you know, we'll go out, we'll continue to

458
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 6: hone in our fundamentals that that are necessary to be

459
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 6: better against the run.

460
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 8: Sean, You're you're a month in here, and you really

461
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 8: offensively have not found a way to get Curtis going

462
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 8: in any meaningful way to this point. What what in

463
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 8: your mind needs to change to provide that element from

464
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 8: him that you brought up here to provide.

465
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 6: Just awareness, I think overall, and and again, sometimes the

466
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 6: ball finds, just sometimes it doesn't, you know, game game

467
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 6: plan to game plan. So I know you guys love

468
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 6: to talk about look at the statuet and says who

469
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 6: hasn't gotten the ball and who has? And then you know,

470
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 6: we get so enamored with that. It's the ball finds

471
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 6: the guy that it's supposed to find, and you know

472
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 6: the game plan has to has to help with that.

473
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 6: But there's also a defense out there that sometimes determines

474
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 6: where the ball is going to fall, right playing and

475
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 6: play out or in this case, pass to pass. So

476
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 6: you start pushing it, you start stressing over it. Awareness

477
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 6: is important in this case to your point, But overall,

478
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: the ball is going to go where it's meant to go.

479
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 6: And you know that's that's really how really good offenses work,

480
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 6: and decision making by the quarterback. And Josh has done

481
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 6: a real good job to this point.

482
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 9: Sean, what's sort of challenges So you see in the

483
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 9: way that they've used digs along with the other pieces they.

484
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 6: Have offensive Yeah, very talented, very talented football team, very

485
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 6: talented in this case offensively extremely talented on the primitive

486
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 6: permit perimeter excuse me, of their of their offense with

487
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 6: the receiving cores as you mentioned, and you know, it's

488
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 6: really hard hard to stop all of them, right because

489
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 6: you don't have enough you don't have enough guys to

490
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 6: to double team all of them there. So that will

491
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 6: have our work cut out for us. Steff's playing at

492
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 6: a high level. He was a really good player here

493
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 6: and competitive as you guys know, and he's highly competitive

494
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 6: on tape as I watch, and playing at a high level,

495
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 6: so it'll be a big challenge for US, Sean.

496
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: Cool Bishop has gotten some more reps the last couple

497
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: of games last couple of weeks.

498
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 12: Tailor run of being up in the air.

499
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: Where have you seen Cole kind of improve the last

500
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 5: few weeks?

501
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 6: Well, he got he was able to get quite a

502
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 6: few reps the other night, and I think he's only

503
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 6: going to grow from those reps. And the more and

504
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 6: more experienced, just like anything else, the more experience you get,

505
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 6: the better you get at things, the more comfortable you get.

506
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 6: And so that was really his first what I would

507
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 6: call true early in the game experience on first and

508
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 6: second down going into a third down. And Cole is

509
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 6: going to be fine. He'll be fine, He'll learn from

510
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 6: some some of the things he wants back. And you know,

511
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 6: I think the there's a there will be if there

512
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 6: isn't yet, there will be an upward mobility or upward

513
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 6: trend to his to his development.

514
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 5: He would Josh and my team as a whole have

515
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 5: been very respectful towards Stepot and following his departure. Even

516
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 5: Josh went out of his way last week just to

517
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 5: clarify that everybody eats comment isn't about isn't the derogatory

518
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 5: comment towards Diggs, but reflection of the team. But when

519
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 5: Steph gets to Houston and says you thrive in a

520
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 5: space where you're loved, You thrive in a space and

521
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 5: of being around who truly care and truly want to

522
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 5: see win. Does that seem like a knock against the Bills?

523
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 5: How do you how do you take that?

524
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

525
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 6: We respect Steph, We love Steph. And like I said,

526
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 6: he was a very good player for us, john and

527
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 6: highly competitive player. And he's what I see on tape,

528
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 6: he's doing the same thing. So our focus really needs

529
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 6: to be there and and uh, and we move forward.

530
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 6: That's that's really where we're at on it. And it's

531
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: going to be a highly competitive game between two teams,

532
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 6: and that's that's what we're looking forward to.

533
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 5: Austin Johnson, did you mention what is he?

534
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got no bleak. Yeah, he came out of

535
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 6: the game. For those of you that didn't know, he

536
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 6: came out of the game due to injury. And uh,

537
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 6: and so he had an oblique strain I think the

538
00:28:59,240 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 6: third quarter.

539
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: All right, that's head coach Sean McDermott addressing the media

540
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: about an hour ago. There is some updates concerning the Texans,

541
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: who are getting healthier as well in advance of this

542
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: Week five matchup. Joe Mixon who has missed the last

543
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: three games with an ankle injury for the Texans, and

544
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: wide receiver Tank Dell, who missed last week's game with

545
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: bruised ribs, both at practice today, so we'll have to

546
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: see how those two players make it through the week.

547
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: But it looks like the Texans are trending toward having

548
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: all of their starters back in the lineup come this weekend,

549
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: so we'll have to keep an eye on that as

550
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 2: the week moves along. Topic a discussion for you today.

551
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: What part of the Bills will be the most important

552
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: to get a win over the Texans. Maybe it's a

553
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: position group you have in mind. Maybe it's the side

554
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: of the ball. Maybe it's a part of the offense,

555
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: part of the defense. You let us know what you

556
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: believe that to be. Also, it's the Pepsi Football Relationship Hotline.

557
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: Pepsi is the official soft drink of the Buffalo Bills.

558

Speaker 3: You have football viewing.

559

Speaker 2: Priorities this time of year, and sometimes your life can

560
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: get in the way of that. Maybe it's your job,

561
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a relationship that needs some managing.

562
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: Steve and I are here to help.

574
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: a regular practice jersey, so that's good news. Taron Johnson

575
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: in a red non contact jersey, as coach McDermott mentioned

576
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: on Monday, Terrell Bernard a little further ahead of Taron

577
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: Johnson in terms of returning to full scale action, although

578
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: both are going to be listed as limited today. What

579
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: part of the bills will be the most important to

580
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: get a win over the Texans on Sunday?

581
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,720

Speaker 2: got for Cindy?

589
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 13: Hi, guys, hope.

590
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 8: You're having a good day.

591
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 13: I have a question for you. I just wondered why

592
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 13: when they put Travinsky in, and you know there was

593
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 13: no chance of us coming back, why they didn't put

594
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 13: andrewsin in.

595
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: He was in on defense, I.

596
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 13: Know, but look at Cook. You know they kept him out,

597
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 13: kept him out, and then once they started putting him in,

598
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 13: he's doing fantastic. I just think they have to take

599
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 13: a bigger look at Andresen and see what he can do.

600
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 13: And just to comment, I just think that they really

601
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 13: cut Andreasy short and should have waited a little longer

602
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 13: to see what was going on with him. Thanks guys,

603
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 13: they have a good day.

604
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: I'm not totally understanding what you mean by cutting him short.

605
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 2: You mean short shortening is playing time than what you

606
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: thought he should have gotten because the game was out

607
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: of hand. I'm guessing that's what you're getting at. I

608
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: mean Josh played into the early stages of the fourth

609
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: quarter at quarterback, so there weren't a lot of backups

610
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: that got a ton of playing time.

611
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: Maybe with a few exceptions.

612
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll check right now, but Joe Andreeson absolutely

613
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: played on defense at linebacker at the end of that game.

614
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: I'm not here to tell you he played a ton,

615
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: but he did get some playing time. Now, I will

616
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: say this, if it gets to a point again where

617
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: the Bills have to play some base defense and run

618
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: three linebackers out there and Bernard's not back yet, let's

619
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: just say this week hypothetically, and it's spector Dorian Williams.

620
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: I got no problem putting Andresen out there is the

621
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: third linebacker.

622
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: I would do that.

623
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that. But in looking

624
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: at this here Andresen, yes, three snaps. Okay, you wanted

625
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: him to get in sooner. I'll listen to that.

626
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: I mean fine, I mean they weren't gonna win the

627
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 3: game once you got to the fourth quarter the way

628
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 3: it was going, So you want to get him some run.

629
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: That's fine. And maybe you're a little bit out of

630
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 3: shape because a guy like Cole Bishop gets forty one snaps.

631
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: Now that's primarily because.

632
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: Taylor rap had a concussions quarter so that's why he

633
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: got as much playing time as he did, uh, you know,

634
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: and to just to kind of compare rookie to rookie, right,

635
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I don't know.

636
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 3: We'll see where it goes.

637
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you I mean Nicholas Nicholas Morrol only got

638
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: sixteen snaps. Right.

639
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: We all hope the best for Buffalo Joe, and you

640
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: want to see him play, and you want to see

641
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: him make some tackles and do some the things in

642
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: the regular season that he did in the preseason. It's

643
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: you know, don't hold your breath. I mean, you've got

644
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: guys who have been in this system for years. They're

645
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: just better at this point. They bring different things to

646
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: the field. And I know you like Joe and I

647
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: like him too, but they're faster, and they understand the

648
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: defense better and they they earned it. Yeah, And I'm

649
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: not going to take somebody who's earned a position off

650
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: just because we all want to see a hometown guy play.

651
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: I love Joe and I'm sure he's a I bet

652
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: he's having the time of his life being a good teammate,

653
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: getting a I know these guys and they love him too,

654
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: but that's not the way it's gonna work, you know,

655
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: you get well, it's never worked that way. Yeah, it's

656
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: not gonna work that way. And when he gets his chance,

657
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: then you gotta hope, yeah, he hits it out of

658
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: the park, because that's how he'll get more chances. He's

659
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: out there working hard in practice, and they rewarded him

660
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: with a with a game jersey this last week because

661
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: he was inactive for a minute on game day a

662
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: couple of times. So yeah, so you got to you

663
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: gotta wait your turn and wait for your opportunity and

664
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: hope he plays as well in his next opportunity as

665
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: he did early in the preseason.

666
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Bernard comes back this week though Bernard's obviously

667
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 2: the start of middle linebacker, Dorian Williams is your weak

668
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 2: side linebacker, and if they go to a base defense,

669
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: Balen Specter's back on the field, right, That's just how

670
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: it's gonna roll. That's what the depth chart says, that's

671
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 2: what they're gonna do. So I'm not trying to rain

672
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 2: on your parade, Cindy. I respect your opinion, but I

673
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: just don't see it changing right now, especially if Bernard

674
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: and is back in the lineup.

675
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: As we'll say this to Hey for the way the

676
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: game turned out the other night. Hey, you may as

677
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: well play Joe whole game, you know, right, because we

678
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: didn't win the game. Try something different. But yeah, that's

679
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 1: not gonna happen.

680
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: That's just not Let's get back to the phones and

681
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 2: we go to Patrick up in Lewiston.

682
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: What do you got for as Patrick?

683
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, guys, heah, I was just warner in the status

684
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 14: of safety Edwards. I know they brought him into, you know,

685
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 14: from Kansas City as a free agent, and I thought

686
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 14: he was going to be a little more active or

687
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 14: and or starter this year. I know he's fighting some injuries,

688
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 14: but it didn't know a few what his status is

689
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 14: going forward, or if you're still fighting an injury, or

690
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 14: if it's just a matter of not getting enough playing

691
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 14: time for his system in the defense.

692
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's fully healthy, Patrick, and thanks for the call.

693
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: He's fully healthy and he has been a healthy scratch

694
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: each of the last two weeks he has been inactive.

695
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: They have chosen to have Cole Bishop, the rookie, up

696
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: and active for games as a reserve safety in the

697
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: event of end injury. That's why he went in after

698
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: Taylor Rapp was injured. Because Mike Edwards was not available,

699
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: he was inactive for Sunday Nights game, and he was

700
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 2: also inactive for the Jacksonville game the week before.

701
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you, Patrick.

702
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: I thought Mike Edwards was gonna have a chance to

703
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: be the starting free safety on this team just by

704
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: virtue of his experience.

705
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: In the league. He's played in similar defensive systems both

706
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: in Tampa Bay and Kansas City. The problem was he

707
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: missed the entire spring with injury OTAs mini camp, and

708
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: then he missed all but three practices in training camp

709
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 3: and the preseason due to a bad hamstring injury. So

710
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 3: all of those missed reps that counts, yeah, and for

711
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 3: him it counts against him.

712
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like Steve was just saying with

713
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: Joey and Reeson, like these guys respect reps on the field,

714
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: reps with teammates, and as a new player to the team,

715
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: not having that time on the field proved costly for him.

716
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 2: So in a perfect world, maybe he is the starter

717
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 2: at free safety and it's not DeMar Hamlin, but DeMar

718
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: Hamlin Phil devoid when Mike Edwards was not available and

719
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: made the most of it. And earned the time on

720
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 2: the field. There might come up to point in time

721
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: where Mike Edwards does find his way back into the

722
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 2: starting lineup. Maybe that happens, maybe it doesn't. But in

723
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: light of some of the positive comments that coach McDermott

724
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 2: made about Cole Bishop today, believe I mean I had

725
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 2: it written down on my sheet because it was noteworthy.

726
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: He said, Yeah, he's had some plays that he wants

727
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: to have back, but we see an upward mobility in

728
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: Cole Bishop's play going forward. To me, that means Bishop's

729
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: still going to be the first man in if for

730
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 2: some reason Rap doesn't get out of concussion protocol. This

731
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 2: way he'll be the guy with Deamar Hamlin and get

732
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: his first NFL start.

733
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: Bishop has gotten some reps and a few more reps

734
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: here in there, and certainly got a ton of He

735
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: got a ton of them this last week because of

736
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: the concussion to Rap, that tape is going to be scrutinized.

737
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 3: Oh, it already has been by the defensive staff.

738
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Right right, So they're gonna they're gonna see what he did,

739
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: how he played, what the call was, what he was

740
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: supposed to do, how well he did it. The whole

741
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: thing that they've Now, they've got tape on him in

742
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: a game that matters, and it's extensive, forty snaps.

743
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 2: And that's why coach said today, I think we see

744
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: an upward mobility in his play, which means they reviewed

745
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: the tape and felt he got better as the game

746
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 2: went on, so much so that I would think it's

747
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: convinced them we're gonna keep going with him.

748
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll say this too, when you put him

749
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: on there, what they felt about his abilities to play,

750
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: colored how they called the defense as well. I mean,

751
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: what they put on his plate. I would like to

752
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 1: know whether it was one hundred percent or whether they say, listen,

753
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 1: we don't want him to try this, or we're gonna

754
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna stay away from this because we don't know

755
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: if Cole's ready for it or whatever. But if if

756
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: they threw everything at him and he handled it, and

757
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: he handled it, that says a lot as well. So

758
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know what the I don't know

759
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: what that is in there, but he played a ton

760
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: and that's gonna have That says a lot more than

761
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: practice than training camp and all of that.

762
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: And what we have to remember too, is.

763
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: If Rap doesn't get back from concussion protocol in time,

764
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 2: Mike Edwards is going to be active also. He'll be

765
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: the reserve safety behind Hamlin and Bishop if Rap is

766
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 2: not part of the equation this week, so that's something

767
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: else to consider too. And if Bishop for some reason struggles,

768
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: maybe you do see Edwards.

769
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 3: At some point in the time. So it's all out

770
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 3: there to be had.

771
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 2: We'll just have to see how it unfolds this weekend.

772
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 2: Let's go to Dennis and Niagara Falls next. What's up, Dennis, Yeah,

773
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 2: I got a question.

774
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 15: Why did they hit the middle linebacker? Oh, it's moving

775
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 15: on motion. We left the middle wide open instead of

776
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 15: staying at home and pulling his gas.

777
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, because when there's motion, his gap changes, the street

778
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 1: dis drink, the formation changes, the responsibilities change.

779
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 15: Replaced him in that gap, which gave it wide open

780
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 15: for Henry to run.

781
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

782
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: Well, they're not designed to leave a gap open. You're right. So,

783
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 1: whether it was a middle linebacker's gap or not.

784
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: What happened was, Dennis, they bought into the motion at

785
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 2: the snap. If you watch that play again, the center,

786
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: the left guard, and the left tackle all crashed down

787
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: to the left and the two linebackers, Specter and Dorian

788
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: Williams follow that flow at the snap, and by the

789
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 2: time they recover it's too late. Ed's been trapped on

790
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: a trap block. The right tackle has kicked out the

791
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 2: end Greg Russou, and the full back has climbed to

792
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 2: the second level and he cuts off Specter. The play's

793
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: over right there. Even worse, Hamlin gets caught up in

794
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: the traffic and can't get to the hole either at

795
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 2: the second level, and by that time Derek Henry's up

796
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 2: to speed and it's over.

797
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Taylor Wrap steps in and gets picked up by

798
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: the wide receiver and yeah, it's just a race. He

799
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: got boat raced on the.

800
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 3: Is it a gap integrity issue?

801
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 2: Yes it is, but it's predicated by the play of

802
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: the center, left guard, left tackle. They crashed down to

803
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 2: the left, which indicates run play to the left, and

804
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 2: they bought it and got trapped on it.

805
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: And that's what happened.

806
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: So, and I say I'll say this too. Rasul Douglas

807
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 1: took a false step up the field. He Greg Greg

808
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: Rousseau was going to take contain Rasoul could have folded

809
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: back inside and got in there, but he took a

810
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: couple of false steps thinking maybe Henry was going to

811
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: bounce it outside like a lot of running backs do,

812
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: and he didn't had a bad angle. So all of that,

813
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: you know that that was a good play. And I'm

814
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: sure that you know Dennis from Niagara Falls is not

815
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: talking about just that one play.

816
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 3: But well he referenced it, so that's why I used them.

817
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that was not that was not uh more,

818
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: uh Dorian Williams gap, he was on the he was

819
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: the week side and he was the other side line back.

820
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to take a break here when we

821
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 2: come back, more of your phone calls as we are

822
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 2: asking you what part of the bills will be the

823
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: most important to get a win over the Texans on Sunday,

824
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: taking your phone calls and have open lines for you

825
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: at eight oh three oh five point fifty get to

826
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: you when we return here on one Bill's Live stay

827
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: with us time for game day Mentality presented by Best Self,

828
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 2: Best Self Behavioral Health, the official mental health partner of

829
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills and mindset for Sunday, Steve I would

830
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 2: imagine is gonna have to put the blinders on and

831
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 2: avoid any of the drama that might surface concerning Stefan Dicks.

832
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you got to come into the game

833
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: like this. This is where your culture is tested, where

834
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: you have to bounce back from a bad performance. You

835
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: have to go into the game as a player saying, listen,

836
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: we've got a good game plan. We've got to we've

837
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: got to stick to it. We've got to play well

838
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: enough within our game plan. Here's why it should work,

839
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: here's why it's gonna work. And move forward. You depend

840
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: on your preparation and that's what they're gonna do. And

841
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: you got to come into this thing saying, listen, we

842
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: got a good pane. Let's go and play well. Every

843
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 1: game has its ups and downs, but you know, certainly

844
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Raven game was a downer, but you got

845
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: to know be ready for it. You got to bounce

846
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: back from the Bills almost did there in Baltimore. Handful

847
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: of plays were the difference that game being very different.

848
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm maybe not even a win, but at least a

849
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: close loss. So I think you're gonna get there. This

850
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: team is going to get his mind around trusting, trusting

851
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: their process. They're going to go in there and know, hey,

852
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: we're a good team. Let's play like it.

853
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: And you want to know why they should feel that way,

854
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: because since twenty nineteen, after a loss, since twenty nineteen,

855
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 2: the Bills are eighteen and five, So there you.

856
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: Go, Yeah, they don't. It's it's hard to beat him

857
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: two games in two weeks in a row.

858
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones at eight oh three,

859
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: five point fifty as that is your game day mentality,

860
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: presented by best self and to Richard in West Seneca.

861
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 3: What do you got first, Richard?

862
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 4: Do you think the Bills will struggle without von Miller playing?

863
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: I'm not convinced that they will. It's certainly a loss.

864
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any debate about that. But my

865
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 2: partner here on the show and I would share this sentiment,

866
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 2: is very high on the exploits and abilities of fifth

867
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 2: round draft choice Javon Solomon. You saw him in some

868
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: limited action in Week three and the blowout went over

869
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: the Jaguars. He had a sack, strip fumble in about

870
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: twelve snaps. So make of that what you will, but

871
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 2: this is a guy that led FBS college football in

872
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: sacks his last year at Troy with sixteen. There's some

873
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 2: ability there. We had Greg Russeau on our show during

874
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 2: training camp. We asked him what defensive player has been

875
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 2: most impressive. He said, Javon Solomon because of the strength

876
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: of his hands, which, oh, by the way, go eleven inches.

877
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that certainly. Vaughn Is. I

878
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: think they'll miss his mentorship and his leadership and his

879
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 1: mindset and his voice as much as they'll miss his play.

880
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 2: Now.

881
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: He has played, as we all know, really good this year.

882
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: He's been a different player than he was a year ago,

883
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: and that will be missed. But they've got some guys

884
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: here that this is going to be an opportunity for

885
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: and I think those guys will be jacked up for it,

886
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 1: you know. You know, Javon Solomon is going to be

887
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 1: really stoked to play, be the first guy in after

888
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: Epinessa and Rousseau and those guys needing to break. I'm

889
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: so yeah. I think they will miss von Miller, but

890
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: I think they're excited to go with the guys they've

891
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: got and they don't feel like it'll compromise their ability

892
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: to win the game.

893
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

894
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 2: And look, Duan Smoot is just working his way back

895
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 2: in after a tow injury kept him out the first

896
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 2: two weeks of the season, I would expect him to

897
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 2: play some more. And Casey two Hill, who's a very

898
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: good edge setter and has provided some pass pressure as well.

899
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 2: He's got a sack on the season and also a

900
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 2: fumble recovery. So it's not like the cupboard is bear.

901
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 2: But the most tantalizing talent is obviously Solomon just because

902
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 2: of the ability to bend around the edge that he

903
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 2: has and a very very impressive physique has us all

904
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: interested to see what he can deliver when given more

905
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 2: playing time. Not saying he's got all the answers, he's

906
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 2: a rookie. He's gonna be learning some stuff while he's

907
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 2: out there, especially if he's got to go up against

908
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 2: Laramie Tunseel. Although he is not practicing today, he got

909
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: hurt in last week's game against Jacksonville, did come back

910
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: and finish much like Dion Dawkins. So it's something that

911
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 2: we'll have to monitor there too. So just so everybody

912
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: knows eight oh three five point fifty one eight eight

913
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five fifty the numbers to get

914
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 2: on board here as we are asking you what part

915
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: of the bills will be the most important to get

916
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: a win over the Texans on Sunday.

917
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 3: We should tell you that.

918
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 2: Coming up in the second hour of the show, an

919
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 2: early appearance from senior producer from NFL Films, Greg Cosell.

920
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 2: Reason why, in case you haven't heard, although we mentioned

921
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: it earlier in the week, we have no show on

922
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 2: Friday because of the Sabers season opener. It's an afternoon

923
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: start at one pm, so we will not have a

924
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 2: show because the game will obviously be airing on w

925
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: g R here in Buffalo, so we will not have

926
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 2: a show Friday. So instead of missing Greg Cosell completely,

927
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: we bring him to you.

928
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 3: Next.

929
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 2: Greg dials up the x's and o's for Bill's Texans

930
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,879

00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 3: With you, and it's an early appearance.

936
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: From the senior producer from NFL Films, Greg Cosell, joining

937
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 2: us as he does every week. Since we do not

938
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 2: have a show on Friday, I wanted to squeez him

939
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 2: in on Wednesdays and Greg's weekly segment is presented by

940
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: Scott Lawnyard, an official commercial site work partner of the

941
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Greg, thanks for adjusting your schedule on our behalf.

942
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 2: I guess we will first begin by putting the Sunday

943
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 2: night game to bed. And I think it's safe to

944
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 2: say that was a line of scrimmage loss, right, yeah.

945
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 12: Oh well, you know what really struck me is interesting

946
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 12: in that game. So I'm watching the tape, and to

947
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 12: be honest with you guys, you know, just because of

948
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 12: my schedule, a lot of times the night games, I

949
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 12: don't get to see them until the end, you know.

950
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 12: So I'm watching the tape and you know, I'm getting

951
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 12: the feeling that. And by the way, that Ravens offense

952
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 12: is an extremely difficult offense to play against. Obviously you

953
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 12: have the Lamar factor, but there's so much misdirection, there's

954
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 12: so much backfield action, and then there's the Lamar factor

955
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 12: that it really makes it difficult for second level defenders.

956
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 12: I discipline, what they see, what they react to, whether

957
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 12: they trigger, whether they hesitate. It's just a really difficult

958
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 12: offense to play against. But having said that, you know,

959
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 12: I'm watching the tape and all of a sudden in

960
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 12: the third quarter, they score the touchdown after the unbelievable

961
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 12: throw by Alan to Shakiir, and then Johnson scores and

962
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 12: then they get the ball back and it's twenty one

963
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 12: to ten in the middle of the third quarter, and

964
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 12: I'm thinking to myself, Wow, you know, they're staying with

965
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 12: kind of what they do. They're kind of playing Bills football.

966
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 12: They're not trying to you know, hit you know, hit

967
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 12: a you know, three run home run as they say,

968
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 12: with no runners on base, and then of course they

969
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 12: go for that make play, and one can debate that

970
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 12: as a separate issue, but the point is, you know,

971
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 12: they kind of stayed with what they did, and you know,

972
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 12: let's say that trick play just turned out to be,

973
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 12: you know, an incompletion, and they just kind of stayed

974
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 12: with it. I kind of felt the way they played

975
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 12: was and I'm trying to figure out the best way

976
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 12: to say it is both good and bad in the

977
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 12: sense they stayed with what they are, and I know

978
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 12: Joe Brady took full accountability not only for that play

979
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 12: but for the game itself. So I kind of liked

980
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 12: that they stayed with who they are. But on the

981
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 12: other hand, I feel like, especially given the quarterback, that

982
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 12: you do have to try to have a little bit

983
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 12: more of an intermediate passing game. I think that that's

984
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 12: something they've got to keep working on. When you're ahead,

985
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 12: you don't think about it because it's not really required.

986
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 12: But I think, you know, at some point, and I'm

987
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 12: not saying throwing the ball forty yards down the field,

988
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 12: I'm talking about you know, like when he had Kincaid,

989
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 12: which was a beautiful window throw. I think it was

990
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 12: for twenty five yards if I'm not mistaken. You know,

991
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 12: those intermediate type throws. I think you want to start

992
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 12: developing that because obviously the quarterback can make them.

993
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's really the issue too. You got to

994
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: have more ways to win, and right now Baltimore's gonna win.

995
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 1: Do you think their passing game? Did Nick the Bills

996
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: when we saw a couple of highlights there as you

997
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: were talking, is their passing game or have we seen

998
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: enough of it to know that it's good enough to

999
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: help Baltimore win if you even can stop their run,

1000
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: which is difficult.

1001
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 12: Well, it's a great point, Steve, because the last two games,

1002
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 12: Jackson has thrown fifteen balls and I believe eighteen balls

1003
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 12: against the Bills, if memory serves me correctly, and normally,

1004
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 12: normally that's not the way you win in the league

1005
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 12: when you get to the playoffs. But they're just so

1006
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 12: difficult to defend because of the Jackson factor. He's probably

1007
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 12: the only quarterback in the league. I could probably lose

1008
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 12: the word probably that you can play that way and

1009
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 12: still have an effective offense. Now we've also seen the

1010
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 12: fact that in the playoffs it has not been effective,

1011
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 12: and he was injured for two years anyway, where he

1012
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 12: missed six or seven of the final games and what

1013
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 12: was unable to play anyway in the playoffs. So we'll see.

1014
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 12: But I mean, in the regular season, that is a

1015
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 12: really difficult offense. And don't forget they were still playing

1016
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 12: with some backup players, and you know, it just makes

1017
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 12: it a little more difficult, you know. I know a

1018
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 12: lot of people said that this was the game where

1019
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 12: they were finally exposed with who they were putting out

1020
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 12: on the field. You know, you can say that, but

1021
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 12: I think there, I think that's just a difficult offense

1022
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 12: to play against just in general, given what they do.

1023
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: All right, So moving forward here, we don't know what

1024
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 2: the situation is going to be with Khalil Shakiir on offense.

1025
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 2: He's missing practice today due to an ankle injury that

1026
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: he sustained in that game. He did come back and finish, obviously,

1027
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 2: but this could be I guess this is the thing

1028
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 2: that strikes me.

1029
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 3: Greg.

1030
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 2: We know the high octane potential of the Texans offense,

1031
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 2: yet right through four games, they're not even averaging twenty

1032
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 2: points per game.

1033
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 3: It's kind of it just doesn't compute for me what's

1034
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 3: going on there.

1035
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think you have to be careful though, Brownie,

1036
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 12: because they can score, I mean, and they can score

1037
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 12: at any time. I think Number one, you've got to

1038
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 12: deal with Collins. Collins has more than one hundred yards

1039
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 12: receiving than any other player in the league through four games,

1040
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 12: and he works between the numbers so effectively. Now, this

1041
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 12: is something that maybe the Bills are better equipped to handle.

1042
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 12: They play a ton of too high safety structure, but

1043
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 12: that's where his game is. He works between the numbers,

1044
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 12: between the hashes. Stroud is a really good timing, anticipation thrower.

1045
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 12: He has no problem making difficult window throws against zone coverage.

1046
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 12: They've not been able to run the ball really effectively.

1047
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 12: Now it's Wednesday, so I guess we don't know that

1048
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 12: Joe Mixon factor. He's missed the last two games.

1049
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 3: Practicing, so we don't know. I'm sorry he is practicing today.

1050
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 12: Oh well, if that's the case, then he's likely to play.

1051
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 12: But the point is they haven't been able to run

1052
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 12: a real well, they've actually not protected as well as

1053
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 12: you might have expected either. Through the first four games,

1054
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 12: Stroud has actually shown an ability to make a number

1055
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 12: of outside of structure throws, I mean efficient movement. He

1056
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 12: did that this past week. He's done it all the year.

1057
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 12: If you saw the tape or the game, he digs

1058
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 12: for twenty eight yards to start the second possession, Collins

1059
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 12: twenty three yards in the second quarter. That's become kind

1060
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 12: of an increasing overlooked part of his game that he

1061
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 12: does make these outside of structured plays. So you do

1062
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 12: have to be aware of that. But this is a

1063
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 12: well schemed, well put together offense. Man, you can't go

1064
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,399
Speaker 12: into this game, and no coach would. As you know Brown,

1065
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 12: he go into this game saying, oh, well, they're not

1066
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 12: scoring a lot of points, so we don't really have

1067
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 12: to worry about their offense scoring a lot of points.

1068
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 12: I mean, with the players they have in the quarterback

1069
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 12: they have, they can put up thirty any week.

1070
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 3: I was just curious why they haven't, you know, because, yeah, I.

1071
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 12: Think I think it's the run game has not been

1072
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 12: a big factor, and I think the old line has

1073
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 12: actually had some struggles. Stroud's been sacked a bit this

1074
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 12: year in some critical situations as well.

1075
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think one of the things too, when

1076
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: you talk about scoring points, if your offensive line is

1077
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit and they can't run the ball,

1078
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: your red zone efficiency skyrockets. I mean, you just know, yeah,

1079
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: it goes the wrong way. I'm sorry, it goes the

1080
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: wrong way.

1081
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, right. The inefficiency skyrockets, as you are, And I

1082
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 12: think that's a very fair statement. And I think your

1083
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 12: third down efficiency also becomes a little bit of an

1084
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 12: issue as well. So I think that those are the

1085
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 12: two things that stand out when you watch them. But

1086
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 12: there's no question that Stroud's a really, really good quarterback,

1087
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 12: you know, even without the sacks. Brownie I can see

1088
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 12: in my mind's eye have seen all four of their games,

1089
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 12: you know, I can see times where he's been under

1090
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 12: durest and he's thrown the ball. But he's thrown the ball.

1091
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 12: You know, he's very tight, squeezed pocket, and you know

1092
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 12: obviously that that minimizes a quarterback sufficiency no matter how

1093
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 12: good you are.

1094
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, talking about some other things that don't seem to

1095
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 2: add up after four games and I realized, look, small

1096
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 2: sample size, maybe these numbers are counterintuitive to one another.

1097
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 3: The Texans have.

1098
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 2: Been good in allowing a low completion percentage to their

1099
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 2: opposing quarterbacks, best in the NFL at like just over

1100
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 2: fifty seven percent, But they've also given up the third

1101
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 2: most passing touchdowns. So yeah, those are two numbers that

1102
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 2: don't work for me. Like, help me again here, Greg.

1103
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, although I think defensively, and they made a number

1104
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,919
Speaker 12: of changes this year with how they're deploying some people.

1105
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 12: The way they're using Jalen Petrie is different than the

1106
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 12: way he was deployed a year ago. Stingley is not

1107
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 12: up to this point, has not been a match up

1108
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 12: corner for the most part. He plays on the left side,

1109
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 12: so you know they normally don't match up Lass or

1110
00:58:58,120 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 12: the rookie has been the right corner. He's done a

1111
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 12: pretty nice job now last week for a short stretch.

1112
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 12: After Thomas burned them a couple of times, the rookie

1113
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 12: from LSU. They did put Stingley on them, but that

1114
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 12: was only for a brief time. They predominantly have him

1115
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 12: at left corner. I think they do some good things

1116
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 12: on defense. You know, obviously they've got Anderson on one side,

1117
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 12: They've got Hunter on the other side. So you have

1118
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 12: to be aware of that. Those are two very good players,

1119
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 12: two good strong pass rushers, you know, the touchdown passes.

1120
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 12: I think you know, plays like that, Brownie, I think

1121
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 12: I know you would agree with that. You have to

1122
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 12: look at those plays as individual plays, not necessarily symptomatic

1123
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 12: of oh my god, they can't defend the pass.

1124
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: You know, but we'll see.

1125
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 12: I mean, they've got they're not a heavy blitz team,

1126
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 12: but when they do blitz, they have some interesting concepts

1127
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 12: and schemes. So look, they're on the road against a

1128
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 12: good team. You know, as we talked last week, they

1129
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 12: have three tough road games in a row. They had.

1130
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 12: You know, unfortunately the games say night. These things happen

1131
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 12: in the league. It's a week to week league. I

1132
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 12: would expect them to bounce back. Now, when I say

1133
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 12: bounce back, I'm not going to sit here in predict

1134
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 12: a victory, but I would expect them to play much

1135
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 12: better football overall on Sunday than they did on you know,

1136
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 12: overall on Sunday night.

1137
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: What would you anticipate? And I know it's it's hard

1138
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: to do that, but would you anticipate how does a

1139
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: team look at the Buffalo Bills offense, like the Houston Texans,

1140
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: what are they looking at now? And you know we

1141
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: because we know it used to be it's all like

1142
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,959
Speaker 1: eighty percent Josh Allen in years past. It doesn't seem

1143
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: to be like that this year. How is that going

1144
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: to change the team's perception? And therefore the you know

1145
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: what they call against the Bills?

1146
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 12: I would bet Steve it hasn't changed anybody's perception. I

1147
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 12: would bet that most teams go into playing the Bills

1148
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 12: with the idea that if they're going to run the ball,

1149
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 12: base runs, okay, that's fine, Well we'll defend the run

1150
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 12: with our normal defense. What we don't want to have

1151
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 12: happened is for Josh Allen to beat us. If they

1152
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 12: want to hand the ball to Cook, if they want

1153
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 12: to hand the ball to Davis, We're not going to

1154
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 12: necessarily do anything special. You know, we're not building our

1155
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 12: game plan to stop the run. We're building on game plan,

1156
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 12: our game plan to make sure that Josh Allen doesn't

1157
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 12: beat us. I guarantee that's the way teams in the

1158
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 12: league think. Now you'll hear every coach say, you know,

1159
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 12: you got to stop the run first. But I really

1160
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 12: don't think with what Josh Allen brings to the table

1161
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 12: and what he can do at any point in the game,

1162
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 12: that they're thinking, well, you know, if we stop James Cook,

1163
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 12: we got this game won. I don't think that any

1164
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 12: defensive coach thinks that way about the Bills.

1165
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 2: And I know Stroud has stretched the field a fair

1166
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 2: amount here in the early going. The Bills are known

1167
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 2: as a defense that does not give up the big play.

1168
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 2: How do you kind of see that part of the

1169
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 2: game unfolding here with this matchup?

1170
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 12: Well, I think, and you would know this better than

1171
01:01:55,880 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 12: I is wrap. I assume he's in concussion. Yeah, so

1172
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 12: you know, normally, normally guys don't play the next week normally,

1173
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 12: So let's assume for the moment he's out, that means

1174
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 12: you're going to have the rookie Cole Bishop and even

1175
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 12: though I liked him coming out of college. You know,

1176
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 12: he's in a different environment in this game than he

1177
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 12: was with the forty or so snaps. He played against

1178
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 12: the style of offense that the Ravens bring to the table.

1179
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 12: So he is going to be attacked and tested in

1180
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 12: this game. So we'll see how that plays out, because

1181
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 12: there's no you know, he's a rookie and he's going

1182
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 12: to be playing, and you know, from what I understand,

1183
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 12: he's a great kid. He'll work at it, he'll do

1184
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 12: all the right things. But you know, once you're on

1185
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 12: the field, it's different. So we'll see how that plays out.

1186
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 12: But he'll be someone that they will absolutely go after

1187
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 12: with with route concepts, ro out combinations, try to, you know,

1188
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 12: find the gray areas and coverage that exist in all

1189
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 12: zone coverage. And we know that for the most part,

1190
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 12: the Bills are a zone coverage defense. And I think

1191
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 12: they play in the league. They're probably brown and you

1192
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 12: may have this number.

1193
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't have it.

1194
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 12: I would bet and almost guarantee that in terms of

1195
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 12: number of snaps in too high structure that they're probably

1196
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 12: in the top three in the league.

1197
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: Is just really, yeah, is this really the team? Houston

1198
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: text that we thought we were gonna get me. How

1199
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: do they compare with last year? Has Digs made that

1200
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: big a difference? Plus the two games in the early

1201
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: in the season, now the last two games. You know,

1202
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon was making a difference for them early on.

1203
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 12: Right, Well, I think the way I look at this stuff,

1204
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 12: and again, you know, I'm I'm sure the coaching staff

1205
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 12: is as well. You have to look at the quality

1206
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 12: of the players and the scheme that they run. That's

1207
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 12: what they're looking at. They're not looking and saying, oh, well,

1208
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 12: they're not scoring as many points as they did a

1209
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 12: year ago, so you know what, we don't have to

1210
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 12: worry about it. They're looking at the fact that Stroud

1211
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 12: is a really good quarterback with a particular set of

1212
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 12: traits that are pretty high level. That they've got three

1213
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 12: quality wideouts. Now obviously if mixing plays and it looks

1214
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 12: like he's on track to they've got a quality back.

1215
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 12: They've actually got some good tight end. Shultz and Stover

1216
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 12: are quality players. So you know, they are a difficult

1217
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 12: offense to have to defend. And that's the way coaches

1218
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 12: will look at it. They're not going to be worried about. Gee,

1219
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 12: they haven't put up you know, thirty points or thirty

1220
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 12: five points. They could do that any given week with

1221
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 12: the quality of personnel they bring to the party.

1222
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1223
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: I don't have the two high shell numbers, but I

1224
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 2: do know they've played zone coverage on just over eighty

1225
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 2: one percent of opponent drop this season.

1226
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 3: That's fifth highest in the league.

1227
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 12: Right, but I guarantee that a lot of that is

1228
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 12: too shells.

1229
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1230
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 3: Probably.

1231
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Greg, I think that's all we need from you.

1232
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 2: Thanks for getting this ready for Bill's Texans.

1233
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. We'll catch up with you next week.

1234
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 12: I appreciate it.

1235
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:38,439
Speaker 1: Guys.

1236
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 12: I'm looking forward to this one. This should be a

1237
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 12: good one.

1238
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we agree.

1239
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 3: All right.

1240
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 2: That's senior excuser from NFL Films Great co Sale, joining

1241
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 2: us as he does every week, just a little earlier

1242
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 2: this week since we are not on the air Friday

1243
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 2: due to the Sabers season opener.

1244
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1245
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see where the Bills choose to attack

1246
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 3: that Texans defense.

1247
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 2: My head says second level, middle of the field, but

1248
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 2: Shakir's availability could change that.

1249
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a little bit anyway, Shakers out, how do

1250
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: they handle the rotation or the or the lining up

1251
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers. They certainly won't stop using eleven

1252
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:20,959
Speaker 1: personnel or or that or ten personnel for that matter.

1253
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: But who takes Shakir's spot? Is it going to be

1254
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel just slide?

1255
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 3: Probably?

1256
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1257
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 2: Right?

1258
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 1: And then what happens at the other end of it.

1259
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: Kean will stay on the field obviously, who is it

1260
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Hollands now, he's already on the field, you know what

1261
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean. It'll be interesting to see and if it

1262
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: does force them into yet another personnel group. Yeah.

1263
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 3: CJ.

1264
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 2: Stroud passer rating against zone coverage eighty nine to nine,

1265
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 2: passer rating against man coverage one thirty eight to two.

1266
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 2: So probably a good thing that the Bills play zone

1267
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 2: coverage eighty one percent of the time. Yeah, because Stroud

1268
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 2: does and do nearly as well against zone defense as

1269
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 2: he does against man to man defense, which you know,

1270
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 2: I would say that's probably the case for a lot

1271
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 2: of quarterbacks around the league. I know Josh had one

1272
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 2: of the highest passer ratings in the league against man coverage,

1273
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 2: and I think six of his nine touchdown passes have come.

1274
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 3: Against man coverage.

1275
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 2: Had a boatload of him against Jacksonville as we know, right, So, yeah,

1276
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 2: I do worry about their pass rush a little bit.

1277
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 2: I mean, those two guys are the real deal.

1278
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so your left tackles got a hand, Your left tackle's.

1279
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 2: Got a hammy right now, so we'll have to and

1280
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 2: look not for nothing. The Texans left tackles injured too.

1281
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 2: He's not practicing today, So you know, there could be

1282
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 2: some player availability issues that impact how this game.

1283
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: Goes on both sides.

1284
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, rap Is Bernard back, Dion Dawkins, what's

1285
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 2: going on with Shakir Mixing?

1286
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 3: Is he good to go or is he on pitch count?

1287
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 2: Laramie Tunsel, the left tackle, Damian Pierce, his backup at

1288
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 2: running back, doesn't look like he's doing anything today. So

1289
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 2: there's a lot of player availability questions this week that

1290
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 2: I think could impact how this game goes. So definitely

1291
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 2: something that we're gonna have to monitor through the course

1292
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 2: of the week. Got to get back to the phones though.

1293
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 2: At eight h three zero five to fifty won eight

1294
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two five point fifty those are

1295
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 2: the numbers to join us, and we do have open

1296
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: lines for you as we are asking you what part

1297
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 2: of the bills will be most important for a win

1298
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 2: over the Texans on Sunday. For me, I think it's

1299
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 2: just staying on schedule with the offense. That proved to

1300
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 2: be a tough thing for them last week, at least

1301
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 2: until they got to the third quarter, and even then

1302
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 2: it was a challenge and Josh made a heroic play

1303
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 2: by the sideline to keep that drive alive that resulted

1304
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 2: in the touchdown by Ty Johnson. But I think they

1305
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 2: got to get back to staying on schedule, you know,

1306
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 2: favorable down in distance, you know, so Joe Brady can

1307
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 2: have more of his play call sheet available to him,

1308
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 2: you know, based on how far they are from the

1309
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 2: first down marker.

1310
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do need to limit negative plays and no

1311
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: game plays for no game. They got to stay on

1312
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: schedule in the down and distance. They got to get

1313
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: second medium, third and short or you know, second and

1314
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,640
Speaker 1: short and first down again, you know that kind of thing.

1315
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: They've got to They've got to stay on the field Offensively,

1316
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: they really struggle with That was the one thing that

1317
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: we didn't see from them against Baltimore. They just it

1318
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: seemed like a grind to play and they were kind

1319
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 1: of playing small ball, like Greg alluded to they didn't

1320
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: have that intermediate passing game that was as as prolific

1321
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: as you needed to be, and they only took a

1322
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: couple of shots downfield. So maybe that will, you know,

1323
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: maybe that will change this week. Maybe they will say, hey,

1324
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: we got to take the lid off this thing a

1325
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: little bit more and do that. But we'll I'm I'm

1326
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: kind of with Greg. I'm the ball coming out quick.

1327
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: That's great, and they complete those passes and it looks good,

1328
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: and particularly when you get one mistackle or a nice

1329
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: move and you get a nice game. To the twenty

1330
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: five yard or to Kincaid was awesome. It was like

1331
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: a dig route across between the hash marks. Almost. That's

1332
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: awesome stuff. You need to you need to use it.

1333
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: You need to get more of it, you know, go

1334
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: back to it.

1335
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones at eight oh three

1336
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 2: zero five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

1337
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 2: two five fifty open lines for you there if.

1338
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 3: You want to chime in. But in the meantime, we

1339
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 3: go to Judy in Buffalo. What do you got for

1340
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 3: his Judy?

1341
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 16: Well, you know, Steve just said it. I called in earlier.

1342
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 16: I lost my connection, but he just summed it up.

1343
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 16: Secure is not in the game. We have no one

1344
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 16: that the other team is going to fear as a receiver.

1345
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 16: I go back too. I think it's three years now

1346
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 16: when this team decided to go with the limb instead

1347
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 16: of watching. You have, in my mind, the best quarterback

1348
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 16: in the league. And for years they have neglected to

1349
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 16: get this guy any real help that he needs. Every year,

1350
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 16: the draft defensive players who amount to virtually nothing, and

1351
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 16: then they go out and get a sixty million dollar

1352
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 16: linebacker that is now out on suspension, who has done

1353
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 16: nothing for this team. And this whole idea of defense

1354
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 16: comes first with this team. I do not understand it.

1355
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,959
Speaker 16: See you summed it up without shakure. They have nobody

1356
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 16: that that team is going to fear.

1357
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean respect the opinion, Judy, but I'll respectively disagree.

1358
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 2: First of all, they drafted Dalton Kincaid in the first round,

1359
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 2: and their first pick in the draft this year was

1360
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 2: Kean Coleman, both offensive players and with the potential to

1361
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:01,680
Speaker 2: be dynamic offensive players. James immenseally talented, and I will

1362
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 2: tell you the one player that the Texans should fear

1363
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 2: is James Cook. There is not a good matchup answer

1364
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 2: for James Cook on the Texans roster unless they want

1365
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 2: to deploy a defensive back on him. If he goes

1366
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 2: out in a route, linebackers cannot cover him and most

1367
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 2: safeties cannot. That is your most dynamic offensive weapon on

1368
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 2: the entire team, next to Josh Allen. Obviously, Josh Allen

1369
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 2: is the player to fear because he can raise the

1370
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 2: level of all the players around him. But James Cook

1371
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 2: is your most dynamic athlete.

1372
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't forget either. The Bills are the number two

1373
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: scoring offense in the National Football League, even after stinking

1374
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: it up in Baltimore. They've got a big engine. Certainly,

1375
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,679
Speaker 1: Josh is the guy, but James Cook has proven himself

1376
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: to be dependable and versatile. Ty Johnson, same thing these

1377
01:11:55,840 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 1: guys and Ray Davis dalton kin Ka. While dalton Kin

1378
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,560
Speaker 1: Kid has not put up big numbers, you've seen what

1379
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: he can do that get the play I just mentioned

1380
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: where he had the fifteen yard catch and then a

1381
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: twenty and turned it into a twenty five yard game.

1382
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: It was a huge moment in that game, and he

1383
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: has that under his hood. So I there's a lot

1384
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: in this offense that I think other teams have a

1385
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,759
Speaker 1: lot of respect for and you call you know, nobody

1386
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: scares anybody. I don't know, And I think Keon Coleman,

1387
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: if it, you know, take away the first pass he

1388
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: had in the game, the next three catches he had,

1389
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: people if you had just looked at those, people would

1390
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: be clamoring for him to get the ball more.

1391
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 3: Well, if Shaqiri doesn't play, he might.

1392
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm not on board with the no help

1393
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: for Josh. They've got one of the best offensive lines

1394
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: in football and particularly and you know they run, They

1395
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: run the ball well and they can pass protect us

1396
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: well too, so they.

1397
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 3: Were number one pass protection going into last week's game.

1398
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I like this offense. I like the way

1399
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: it's constructed. I like the vibe of it. I like

1400
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 1: the age of the guys in it. You got a

1401
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: young Shakir, you got a brand new Keon Coleman.

1402
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:19,640
Speaker 3: You've got two third year players, second year player in Kincaid.

1403
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: You've got a veteran in mac Collins and Curtis Samuel, and.

1404
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 3: A third year running back, So James Cook, I'm I'm

1405
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 3: a lot.

1406
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 1: Higher on this offense than Judy is. I gotta say

1407
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: and you know, so we'll see. But I hear, but

1408
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: this offense, I mean, you can take you can throw

1409
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: a lot of darts at it this week because they

1410
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: stunk it up in Baltimore. But they're still there's still

1411
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 1: the team that scored thirty plus points a game for

1412
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: the first three weeks of this season, and we'll see

1413
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: if they can get back to that this week.

1414
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 3: Let's go to Mark in Orchard Park next. What's up Mark?

1415
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 9: Hey, how are you skuys today? I'm calling because I

1416
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 9: think the Bill should make a pitch for Davante Adams.

1417
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 9: I do believe we have two second round picks next year.

1418
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 9: I think, especially if Shakir will be out, we need

1419
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 9: to bring in somebody, a veteran. And I like what

1420
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 9: Greg Kasell said that, you know, we're not getting that

1421
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 9: intermediate that twenty twenty five yards. When I've been watching

1422
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 9: the games, you know for a long time, we don't

1423
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 9: have that route runner anymore. You know, Stefan Diggs was

1424
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 9: great at it. He's gone, Yes, Shakier gets open, but

1425
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 9: after that it gets very swim and I think we

1426
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,799
Speaker 9: need help with that. And you know, we can't waste

1427
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 9: Josh Allen's talent, So I'll let youse guys go with that.

1428
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 9: Thank you.

1429
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 3: Yep.

1430
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: Well, Shakir wasn't playing last up until late last year,

1431
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 1: and they certainly did it without him up until that time,

1432
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:01,719
Speaker 1: with just one guy who could run routes, which was Diggs.

1433
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,640
Speaker 1: And then when they stop using digs the way they

1434
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: did and started spreading the ball around, they started winning games.

1435
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: They hit this season with this group of guys, and

1436
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 1: they have Shakir, and they have Kincaid and Cook, and they.

1437
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 3: See your young core.

1438
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: They seem to be open and Josh is throwing them

1439
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: the football. So I'm and I get it, man, I'm

1440
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: some it's easy to feel unsure about what they can do.

1441
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,959
Speaker 1: Give it some time. I would not feel unsure.

1442
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 2: We said it, Steve, We said it back all off season.

1443
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 2: This roster as it's currently constructed may not be great

1444
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,560
Speaker 2: at the outset of the season because of all the

1445
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 2: newness and all the pieces that have to fit together.

1446
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 2: But Steve and I share this opinion that come November December,

1447
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 2: it might be an even better team than the one

1448
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:01,480
Speaker 2: they had last year. Health being intact to a reasonable degree.

1449
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: Right, and that's one of the things that's held them

1450
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: up this year to this point as well. Let's not forget.

1451
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the problems they've had has

1452
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: been the injuries. Certainly you can't control those, but when

1453
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: this team, I think, if this team ever got healthy,

1454
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't think you'd feel quite as much trepidation about

1455
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,839
Speaker 1: how potent their offense can be, even though it's scoring

1456
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: the second highest amount in the National Football League.

1457
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, but when we come back,

1458
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls and we'll give you what's

1459
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,719
Speaker 2: coming from the coach's office next year. On One Bill's

1460
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 2: Live presented by Colide Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio Time

1461
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:58,560
Speaker 2: to go into the Coach's Office, presented by CfBT, the

1462
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 2: official office technical company of the Buffalo Bills, and coming

1463
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 2: from the coach's office this week, Steve, are contingency plans.

1464
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,720
Speaker 2: You got Dion Dawkins dinged up, Khalil Shakir dinged up,

1465
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 2: So some offensive players now on the injury report, which

1466
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 2: could impact your game plan. Talk to me about contingency

1467
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:21,759
Speaker 2: plans and the coaches off.

1468
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: You got to have a plan B, and a Plan

1469
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 1: C and a Plan D. And if you're depending on

1470
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: how much doubt there is about your Plan A and

1471
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: the guys who are going to be there to run it.

1472
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: Your Plan B will be more extensive, and indeed, you

1473
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: have to practice a little bit, right, so you have

1474
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: to take away from the Plan A practice and practice

1475
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more and Plan B and then Plan

1476
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: C has to be in effect as well, which means

1477
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:49,600
Speaker 1: probably by this time, if you're going to your Plan C,

1478
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 1: it means you got to go to different personnel groupings

1479
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 1: on both on either side of the ball because you

1480
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: got a couple of injuries or guys weren't available, So

1481
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: that is an expanded time crunch. And this is why

1482
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: once in a while when teams you know, when when

1483
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 1: you hold proprietary information back from the media is because

1484
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: you want the other team to have to prepare for it.

1485
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: They want you want them wasting time getting ready to

1486
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 1: play player A against player A. When player A, you

1487
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: know good and well, is not going to be there.

1488
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 1: You want them to waste their time during the week

1489
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: on preparation because it does make a difference. And that's

1490
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: when and this time of year, now we're four games

1491
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: into this, coming into fifth, you can see both both

1492
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: teams here got their left tackle is questionable. You know

1493
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 1: you got Mixing is back in the lineup now. The

1494
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: Bills have Terrell Bernard and Tarren Johnson back on the field,

1495
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: and Mixing's back on the field practicing. So some of

1496
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 1: these players are going to be available, and you you

1497
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 1: gotta figure out if it's going to be a big

1498
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: enough deal for you to change your game plan for

1499
01:18:55,600 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 1: those players. That's that's part and part what coaches do

1500
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,680
Speaker 1: in this time of year and throughout the rest of

1501
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: the year.

1502
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 2: There is an updated report on the DeVante Adams talk

1503
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 2: and scuttle but Diana Rossini from The Athletic has talked

1504
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 2: to a lot of people around the league today and

1505
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 2: her takeaway from those conversations is many involved or that

1506
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 2: have checked.

1507
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 3: Believe the Jets are the team that will get this

1508
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 3: trade done.

1509
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 2: However, she is reporting the Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in

1510
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 2: trading for Devonte Adams, according to a source, and there

1511
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 2: have been discussions and both sides are keeping open lines

1512
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 2: of communication.

1513
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 3: So we'll have to see where that goes.

1514
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,719
Speaker 2: We have to go to the post practice podium, however,

1515
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid is addressing the media, so let's go there.

1516
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:56,719
Speaker 17: Now, what's song to you since you're getting more attention

1517
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 17: this year. Is that feel any different to you when

1518
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 17: the way defenses are playing you then they did a

1519
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 17: year ago?

1520
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 3: A little bit.

1521
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 18: I think it kind of varies week to week and

1522
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 18: kind of situationally where we are on the field. So

1523
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,640
Speaker 18: I've noticed a little bit in some games, but but

1524
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 18: nothing too crazy.

1525
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 4: Is that.

1526
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 17: You have to really jump when you say you adjust

1527
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 17: to Is that the kind of thing you've been anticipating

1528
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:23,640
Speaker 17: and then adjust you too. It's week to week like that,

1529
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 17: so you're not sure. But is it frustrating at all

1530
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 17: if it's played you a little bit differently and maybe

1531
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,640
Speaker 17: you're not getting the same amount of targets who are

1532
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 17: the same amount of catches as you would have gotten

1533
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 17: last year?

1534
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 3: Not necessarily.

1535
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 18: I mean, if anything, it's opening up somebody else. And

1536
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 18: I mean, you know our model this year's everybody eats.

1537
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 18: So that's that's what we're rolling with this year. So

1538
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 18: it could be one reception of the game, could be none,

1539
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 18: could be five. As long as we get a win,

1540
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 18: it doesn't really matter to me.

1541
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: Like the mindset and perspective, like you're going like two

1542
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: supporters without getting a target, What are you doing?

1543
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 11: Played?

1544
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 12: To play series the series kind of staying it from

1545
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 12: when your.

1546
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,679
Speaker 3: Chance does come, same thing he's play.

1547
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.

1548
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 18: I don't really think it affects the mindset too much.

1549
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 18: I think it's really just you know, doing the same

1550
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 18: thing each play, going for your assignment and just just

1551
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 18: trying to do it correct.

1552
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 12: Joe always talking a little bit.

1553
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:21,919
Speaker 13: About it, always go about.

1554
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 11: Whining to get more wind, to get Curtis more involved,

1555
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 11: because that you feel some type of responsibility to him

1556
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 11: when he's trying to.

1557
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,560
Speaker 10: Like actively get any more involved in the offense.

1558
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 3: A little bit.

1559
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 18: Yeah, obviously, it's it's it's great to have Joe because

1560
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 18: he's he's open and having that conversation and we're both talking,

1561
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 18: we're all communicating together. So yeah, I think it's it's

1562
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 18: it's a good thing to hear that from your OC.

1563
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 18: And again I think it's it's still early on the

1564
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 18: season and you know, you see teams are going through

1565
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 18: all the wrinkles and everything right now, but yeah, week five,

1566
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 18: still pretty early on.

1567
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 10: I give what was what made it so challenging?

1568
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: What in Baltimore do that made it so challenging?

1569
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 18: The same drives, I mean, they were just the better

1570
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 18: team that night. I feel like we were we were

1571
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 18: doing things good and doing things right, but just a

1572
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 18: couple of plays here and there, a couple.

1573
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 3: Of conversions, and it's a different game. Adjustments you guys

1574
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 3: are focused on as an offense this week?

1575
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, I mean each week you watch the tape

1576
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 18: and make those corrections and adjustments, but you also have

1577
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 18: to to move forward and look to to Houston this week,

1578
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 18: so it's not the same defense and same team you're playing,

1579
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 18: so you can't get too hung up on the past game,

1580
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 18: but you also have to make those those obvious corrections.

1581
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 3: What well, just everything?

1582
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 5: What was every targets, catchers? What have you noticed from

1583
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 5: his start?

1584
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 18: Uh, he's he's the same exact guy every day, same

1585
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 18: guy you know when I got here a year ago

1586
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 18: watching him play, and it's it's awesome to see a success.

1587
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 3: He deserves it.

1588
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:59,640
Speaker 18: He does everything the right way. And I mean from

1589
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 18: difin wish that game banged up is is awesome and

1590
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 18: it speaks a lot about him.

1591
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 10: Student's front four and their ability to get pressure. What

1592
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 10: are some other things you see from middle of the

1593
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 10: tape that you hope you can take advantage of?

1594
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 3: All the side was that.

1595
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 10: What are some of the things you see from Houston's

1596
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 10: defense just unfilmed that you could you might be able

1597
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 10: to take advantage of all the Sunday But he's the

1598
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 10: keys to the game if they lit offensive.

1599
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 18: I mean, there's obviously some stuff in our game plan.

1600
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 18: I don't want to throw that out to the media,

1601
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 18: but yeah, there's there's some some stuff.

1602
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 10: Some plays each week, few weeks seas obviously you started

1603
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 10: with him last year. Adle of the year with his

1604
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 10: offense is rolling was in the first three weeks. What

1605
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,520
Speaker 10: allows you guys to have that diversity of receivers?

1606
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 6: Right?

1607
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 10: What allows you guys to have multiple options that are

1608
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 10: open to play and play out? What does he bring

1609
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 10: with the offense? It's allowed you guys to have that

1610
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 10: most of the way.

1611
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 18: So fun this season, Uh, just putting people in different

1612
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 18: positions and positions from succeed and in what they excel

1613
01:23:57,720 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 18: at and you know what they're they're good traits and

1614
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 18: qualities are and then at the same time, being able

1615
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 18: to put different people in all those spots, uh as

1616
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 18: interchangeable pieces.

1617
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 12: Your role in the offense and growing.

1618
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 1: But you see different kinds of coverages than you did

1619
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: during your working years long.

1620
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 3: Uh, not necessarily.

1621
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 18: I think it depends on, you know, the the defense

1622
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 18: you're playing each week and in what tree that stems

1623
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 18: from you. You see similar defenses, but it's just different

1624
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 18: personnel out there. But from a coverage standpoint, a lot

1625
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 18: of teams are playing similar stuff. Not the same stuff,

1626
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 18: but but similar stuff. Thing like between you a little bit.

1627
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 18: There's situations in the red zone or at points in

1628
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 18: a game when when I notice it, but nothing nothing

1629
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 18: too crazy. Again, an opportunity can't rowl this week.

1630
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, what are those conversations like?

1631
01:24:58,160 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 12: Is it kind of like trench towards?

1632
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 15: Uh?

1633
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 18: I mean offense defense pretty split throughout the week. But

1634
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 18: he's my locker made. I talked to him a bunch.

1635
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 18: You know, his PBu against Miami. I was hyped for him, So,

1636
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 18: I mean, I love seeing him out there. I know

1637
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 18: he's gonna be successful. I mean, obviously he's he's a

1638
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 18: rookie and it's week five, so it's hard to put

1639
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:25,240
Speaker 18: a gauge on that. But just knowing his mindset and

1640
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 18: the person he is and and the work he's gonna

1641
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,560
Speaker 18: put into just to prepare each week, you know, it

1642
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 18: just makes me confident in his ability to go out

1643
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 18: there and be ready to perform.

1644
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 3: All right, that's Dalton Kincaid addressing the media.

1645
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 1: Uh kind of makes it sound like our boy Bishop's

1646
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna get in the game.

1647
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1648
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 2: I think if Rap is not available, there's a good

1649
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 2: chance he will be making his first NFL start on Sunday.

1650
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 2: Mike Edwards will be up if there if Rap is out,

1651
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 2: because you need a safety and reserve there.

1652
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 3: And you know, we'll see how it goes. We'll see

1653
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 3: what happens. What the decision is.

1654
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 2: Uh, eight oh three five fifty one eight eight five

1655
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty As we're asking you what is

1656
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:10,600
Speaker 2: the most important part of the bills that needs to

1657
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,879
Speaker 2: perform to get the win over the Texans on Sunday?

1658
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 3: And we go to Tony in Syracuse next, what's up, Tony?

1659
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 4: Git off topic? Good afternoon. I strongly believe that we

1660
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 4: need to go out and get Devanta Adams for a

1661
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 4: couple of reasons. It's funny you mentioned plan B Plan C.

1662
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 4: I feel like getting Dalphin Kincaid was the plan B.

1663
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 4: Getting cob In what you know, might have been playing

1664
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 4: c Uh. Yeah, Cook's good. But when we have nobody

1665
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 4: trending downfield, they can stack the box and take Cook

1666
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 4: out of the game. I like our young core a

1667
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:48,600
Speaker 4: wide receiver, but I really think we need to go

1668
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 4: out and get a veteran bat kid stretch the field

1669
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 4: and touch the ball reliably. And not only that, but

1670
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 4: as you heard you just updated, we need to keep

1671
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 4: the Jacks and the Chiefs from getting him and getting stronger.

1672
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,640
Speaker 4: Once again, why we sit idle? So I know they

1673
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 4: can do the gymnastics with the salary cap. I think

1674
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 4: they need to spend that second round pick if that

1675
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,719
Speaker 4: was true in the reports, and just make it happen

1676
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 4: and go all out this year.

1677
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: What do you think is wrong with our offense now?

1678
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 4: I just don't think that we can reliably get open

1679
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 4: for Josh get downfield. That intermediate passing game that you

1680
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 4: guys touched on just doesn't seem to be there. Against

1681
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 4: weak defenses, we'll eat, But against strong defenses that can

1682
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 4: match up physically against our young wide receivers or are

1683
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 4: you just another guy wide receivers that's what I call them.

1684
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,840
Speaker 4: I just don't think they have that elite talent to

1685
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 4: open up a game or take over a game like

1686
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 4: Stefan used to be able to do so. I think

1687
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 4: we just need that really polished, top top end wide receiver,

1688
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 4: and there's one available right now. They can't take another

1689
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 4: back road, another plan B, or play C or try

1690
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,759
Speaker 4: to scheme it to still get the talent ian protect

1691
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 4: it from the other teams from getting him.

1692
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 3: All right, Tony, appreciate your opinion on that. I mean,

1693
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 3: I just don't think fiscally it can work.

1694
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 2: He only got three I know we got to take

1695
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 2: a break here, but they only got three point eight

1696
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 2: in cap space. I don't think the Raiders are trimming

1697
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 2: that salary down that much to make that work. I

1698
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 2: don't see it happen. Here's the thing to mention twenty

1699
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 2: twenty five and twenty twenty six.

1700
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna you can't sit here and say Davonte

1701
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:28,639
Speaker 1: Adams into great. He's a great player. Absolutely. He's thirty two,

1702
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get him for like one year unless

1703
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: you go sit down for fifteen games. Right. You're not

1704
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna sign him after this to a twenty million dollars

1705
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 1: a year contract. He's thirty two. This is like your

1706
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 1: exact same spies were with Steph.

1707
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 3: Diggs well, and he's got two more years on that, so.

1708
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm yes, exactly, you're gonna be sinking money intour and

1709
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,600
Speaker 1: yeah for one year. I don't know.

1710
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,599
Speaker 2: I think you have to be confident that Coleman's gonna

1711
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 2: come on here and give you more as the season

1712
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 2: wears on, and that this group is gonna coalesce better.

1713
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't think there's enough upside for a player as

1714
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 1: great as Davante Adams is. I don't think there's enough

1715
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: upside to do that deal.

1716
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 2: We gotta take a break back to close it up

1717
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 2: next here on One Bill's Live. All right, back here

1718
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

1719
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 2: and well, we're just gonna have to see how the

1720
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 2: week goes with the injured players for the Bills and

1721
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:42,640
Speaker 2: whether Tarren Johnson can do more in practice on Thursday,

1722
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 2: whether Bernard goes from a limited participant to a full participant.

1723
01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:49,920
Speaker 3: He's gonna be pretty critical for the Bills defense.

1724
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: This is the first time it seems like it's been

1725
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: both teams that are.

1726
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 2: Yet both teams trying to get healthy. Tomorrow, we got

1727
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 2: Field Yates and Thurman Thomastill miss it.

1728
01:29:58,479 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 3: We'll see it. Won
