1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh, great time. The lostie Clasper to the end buck down,

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: Bucks down, tix down, Flapstown Buffalo over time. The Bills

3
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: open up there. Forty six season in Orchard Park. It's

4
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Los Angeles Chargers. Chargers at the

5
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo nine. Rivers fires it to the five yard line

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Melvin Gordon caught it at the five

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 1: and scooted into the end zone. They said no answers.

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: The snap takes a long and look left. Now looks

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: down the middle, keeps it down field. Zay Jones his

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: target down near the twenty, bobbles it, makes the catch

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: at the Los Angeles twenty yard line, and he has

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: brought down there. They'll give him the eighteen yard line.

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: A big play there. Booze rained down on the field

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: as the Bills head to the locker room at halftime,

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: trailing the Chargers twenty eight to six, first and goal

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: at the one. I breathe the back to snap. They

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: give it to Ivory tries to pulp his way into

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: the end zone, and he does the Bills first touchdown

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: of the season. Night's drive. The snap to Rivers here

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: it comes fresher. Rivers doesn't see it. He is dropped.

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: He is sacked back of the five yard line. Philip

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: Rivers goes down hard. Jerry use huge buffalo used first

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: in goal from the three. Alan looks to throw it,

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: look into his right cock, his arm fires hit into

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: the end zone, caught touchdown. It is Calvin Benjamin Boy.

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: He fired a rocket right through traffic. Mark That's gonna

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: do it for us. On a very disappointing, steamy day

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: in Orchard, Part, New York, has the Bills dropped to

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Owen two. Some of the highlights from the game on

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: the Toshiba Game rewind. Good afternoon, John Murphy, Steave Tasker,

Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Highlights few and far between again

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: this week as the Buffalo Bills dropped to Owen two

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: with a thirty one to twenty loss to the Los

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,080

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: John Murphew Show Steve. I guess it was better, but

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel much better today to be oh, Jim doesn't.

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: And I think one of the things, you know, there's

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that goes into it, no question

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: about it, But I wasn't all that disappointed in Josh.

47
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: He knew it was going to be a roller coaster ride.

48
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what compared to what we saw

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: in week one, Josh Allen was the difference. The defense

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: continues to struggle, which to me is shocking. I mean,

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: you know how I felt about the defense going into

52
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: the season, and I'm really shocked by that. And we

53
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: found out too that Sean McDermott was going to call

54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: the defensive signals. In the second half, played a little

55
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: bit better, no doubt that the Chargers had taken their

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: foot off the gas a little bit in the second half.

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: They made him look a little better as well. But

58
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I think one of the thing that sticks with you

59
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: is the surprising part of it is that your defense

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: isn't playing that well. That's gonna have to change but

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I did see on the offensive side of the football

62
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: some things out of Josh Allen and I really liked.

63
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: I really liked. There was a couple of flashes there

64
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: like that's the kind of guy we're doing, and some

65
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: of the things that he had problems with, like it.

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: We were kind of laughing. He had the exact completion

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: percentage that he had in college, and you know what,

68
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: he was missing the easy throws, you know, the little

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: dink and dunk passes some of the guys that the

70
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: guys that were wide open. It's almost like he hurries

71
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: to get the ball there. And I hope it's that

72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: he's kind of it looked like it that he was

73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: hurrying to get it. He was like almost two easy,

74
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: wanted to get it there quicker than he needed to.

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's something theoretically that's easy, that's easier

76
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: to correct than going dropping back and throwing the thirty

77
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: yard deep out route to to Charles Clay that he

78
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: made look easy. It's the middle ones say if he did,

79
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, if he dinks and dunks and he gets

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: those easy throws, his completion percentage is going to be

81
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: up to a much more respectable level. So a lot

82
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: of the stuff I saw from Josh was really good.

83
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: Lashawn's still gonna be the focal point of the offense

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: until Jo gets better or Shady's really gonna have a

85
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: hard season to put to put yards together. But I think,

86
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: still going back to it, I think the thing that

87
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: surprised me most is about the way the defense has

88
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: played the first question two weeks. You know, there's a

89
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It's been awful ste even. Yes, they

90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: pulled themselves together in the second half yesterday, but it

91
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: was too late by then, way too late, down twenty

92
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: eight to six at halftime, down twenty eight to three,

93
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: late in the first half. And yeah, I'd like to

94
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: see Josh Allen try to get the short passing game

95
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: going a little bit more too. But you know, most

96
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: of the time now, in the second half last week,

97
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: in the entire game yesterday, most of the time they're

98
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: playing from behind. They're trying to play catch up. He's

99
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: got to try the deep shots downfield. He's pretty capable

100
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: at the deep shots. He has some work to do,

101
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: I think. But we're gonna talk about Josh Allen's day,

102
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: but make no mistake about it, much of the problems

103
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: and this team to be owing too, I believe around

104
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and it's almost inexplicable.

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is great, future Hall of Famer, on the top,

106
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: on top of his game, for sure, a lot of

107
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: great weapons around. Yeah, even at this level, even at

108
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: this point of his career, isn't like what thirty six

109
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: years old. He's on it. He's on it, and he's

110
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: got total commanded that really good solid offense with a

111
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: lot of weapons. But the Bills were defenseless, Steve, they were.

112
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: They're not competitive defensively. In the first half of yesterday's game,

113
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: four straight touchdown drives. Great work by Philip Rivers to

114
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: gun it into coverage. You got the you know, Mike

115
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Williams involved on a nice pass to the end zone.

116
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: But the Bills weren't set up right defensively. Mark Kelso

117
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: talked about that on our broadcast yesterday. There's miss tackles,

118
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: there's missed assignments in the first half. By the time

119
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: they got around to playing defense yesterday, it was too late.

120
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: It was too late. They played better in the second half.

121
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: You gotta believe the Chargers kind of took their foot

122
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: off the gas pedal a little bit in the second

123
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: half with the big league that they had. But just

124
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: amazing how how bad the Buffalo defense has played. I

125
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: did not see that coming. I am stunned by that.

126
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: And it is the prescription for a long, long season

127
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: if they don't pull themselves together on defense. They put

128
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: draft picks into their defense this year, they put money

129
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: into their defense this year, and they have been absolutely

130
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: horrible through the first few games. Yeah, and it's it's

131
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: a little bit disheartening at that. And um, I don't

132
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any questions they can They can

133
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: play better than they will. I mean, I think the

134
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: fact that Sean McDermott took over the play calling in

135
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: the second half says something about what the coaching staffs

136
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: thing and say, listen, we gotta do some different things

137
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: with these guys, no question. But and like you said,

138
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, even just to say to get the short

139
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: passing him going, oh, he's gonna complete those. He's got

140
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: guys open. The scheme is there. They've got guys that

141
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: are that are working their routes the way they want

142
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: him to work. He's got to put the ball on

143
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: him with a give him a chance to get up

144
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the field, and if you can do that, there's a

145
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: ripple effect on your whole offense. Shady gets better in

146
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: the running game, your deep passes open up, I mean,

147
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: and you stay on the field longer. And that's that's

148
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: a crucial thing as well. So there is some things

149
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: to be like to like, mostly on the offensive side

150
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: of the football. And then the national story that came

151
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: out of yesterday's game with Vonte Davis, I mean, listen,

152
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: So I didn't see the game, right, and I'm in

153
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: New York, and then we're dry thing, you know, the

154
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: crew that I was with with rich Gannon, Kevin Harland,

155
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: a producer director, we were right driving to the airport

156
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: after the game, and it came out. We finally found

157
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: out that Vonte Davis had retired at halftime, and there

158
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: we did kind of chuckle and what and so I

159
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: didn't know about it. So I didn't. So we go

160
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: back and I watched the game last night, and this

161
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: morning I called my mom and dad. They're eighty eight.

162
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: My mom and dad are eighty eight. My mom was livid.

163
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: My mom was livid that Vonte David because you know,

164
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: my mom and dad. You can you can imagine they

165
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: sat through the nineties with that team and they were

166
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: they went to all four Super Bowls with that team,

167
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, and all that and there. So they've been

168
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: my entire family, my three older brothers, my mom and daddy,

169
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: they're all neck deep in the Bills stuff. They they're

170
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: all Bills fans. And my mom was livid that, you know,

171
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: they that Vante Davis left the game at halftime. And

172
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: then my dad was too. My dad had my dad's

173
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: not well. He got on the phone. Didn't help. He

174
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: got on the phone and started in on it as

175
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: at two and I yeah, I mean that's where Bills

176
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: fans should be. I think that that's hard to swallow.

177
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: And I know, I know the players in the locker

178
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: room weren't happy about it and all of that, but

179
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: I've never heard of it. I've never heard I've heard

180
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: Guy's joke about it, you know, well, like saying, listen,

181
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: if I did this, if this is a b and

182
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: S happened, I just take my pads off, throw them

183
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: in the middle of field and walk off. You know,

184
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: some outrageous thing happened or whatever, and it just didn't.

185
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: It's amazing it's pretty amazing that the guy did that,

186
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: and it's amazing and it's disgraceful quite frankly. You know,

187
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: Vante Davis struggled to get on the field in preseason

188
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: right with coming off the surgery and had plenty of

189
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: time to kind of recover from the surgery that he

190
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: had last year, and the Bills were patient, did not

191
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: have him in the line of at Baltimore last week,

192
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: and they needed him yesterday. Their numbers down in at

193
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: the cornerback spot yesterday, and for him to pull himself

194
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: out at halftime is disgraceful. Steve, It's a disgrace. It's

195
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: a it's an insult to every fan who bought a

196
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: ticket to that game, any fan of the game, it's said,

197
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: especially an insult to his teammates and the RNZO Alexander

198
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: talked about that in the locker room yesterday. Yeah, you've

199
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: seen anything like that, and you're gonna have never seen

200
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: it ever, Pop Warner, high school college pros, never heard

201
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: of and never seen it. And it's just completely disrespectful

202
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: to his teammates. Did he say the name to you?

203
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: He's saying nothing to nobody. He left. Yeah, you know

204
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: as much as I know. I know I found out

205
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: going in the second half of the game, coming out

206
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: said he said, he's not coming out. He retired. So

207
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't blame the Runzo, Alexander and anybody else in

208
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: that locker room for being disgusted with that. You don't

209
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: do that. Steve. Look if he felt like it wasn't

210
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: there for him, and he issued some lame statement yesterday

211
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: about you know why he didn't feel why he felt

212
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: like he had to do this. All right, fine, gut

213
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: it out through the game and then walk in here

214
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: today and say, hey, you know what, it's not happening

215
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: for me anymore. I don't have it. I'm out. That's fine,

216
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: not great, but that's fine. But to walk out in

217
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: the middle of a game when they're down in numbers

218
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: at that position anyway, um Man, I just can't believe it.

219
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe that that's that he thinks that's the

220
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: best answer. I just can't. Yeah, it's yeah, I mean,

221
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: he retired, but it's like he never finished his career.

222
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: You know, he just walked out on it in the

223
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: middle of in the middle of a game that you know,

224
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: a ten year career and he was a high draft pick,

225
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: two time Pro Bowl, two time Pro bowler, had some

226
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: moments in his career that were very good, and how

227
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: will he always be remembered the rest of us? That's it,

228
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: that's his legacy walking out, Yeah, in the middle of

229
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: the congratulations and it's yeah, it's it's it's hard to understand.

230
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I here's the thing. I mean, there's no

231
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: doubt this team brought him in, they were depending on him.

232
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: They knew they had seen him play. Certainly, he was

233
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: coming off surgery, so nobody know how he's gonna rebound.

234
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: He didn't rebound, and the team was going to kind

235
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: of lean on him. They wanted him to be the

236
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: left corner on the other side of Tradavious White. It

237
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna work out. He knew it was going to

238
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: be a long season for him personally because he was

239
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: on a team that was going to depend on him,

240
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: and he probably knew in his heart he wasn't gonna

241
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: be able to play well and just decide, I don't

242
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: want to put myself through the stress of being expected

243
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: to play well when I can't and left. But I

244
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: don't know how you do it at that moment in

245
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: the time at halftime of a game where they needed

246
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: you where they can't. You know, there's no place they can't.

247
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: Like go into the locker room and find and pull

248
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: somebody out of the press box, one of the deactivated

249
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: players and say hey, we need you. They can't. He

250
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: leaves a man short, and that, to me is the

251
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: thing that crosses a huge line for a player to

252
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: leave a team uh stranded like that person game the

253
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: middle of a game. It clearly had an impact players

254
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: in the locker room. I was in there yesterday. You

255
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: could tell that they were upset about it. And today

256
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: it's a national story. It's a national embarrassment associated with

257
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. So we can thank Vonte Davis for

258
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: that too, right, I mean, it's on the Today Show,

259
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: It's on every lame newscast in America. An NFL player

260
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: walked out at halftime, retired at halftime happens to be

261
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill So we can thank Vonte Davis for that.

262
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: Black eye. Just ridiculous. I can't talk about it too

263
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: much because I'm gonna get too worked up about it.

264
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills are up against it. They're in

265
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: trouble right. Oh and two in deep trouble yesterday after

266
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: the first half, and what's his response to walk out nice?

267
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think there's no doubt too as a

268
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: result of this, the Bills are going to try and

269
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: get better. They're gonna they're gonna elevate some of the

270
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: guys off their practice squad. This is something I'm and

271
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: I'm with you. The more unit we should, we're probably

272
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: gonna move on with this because listen, we're gonna start

273
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: thinking it's like last week. I mean, we're gonna do

274
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: this all year. And this is my gift to you, Murph.

275
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: We're thinking about Minnesota. You know, you got to go

276
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: into in a hostile environment. We knew the first month

277
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: of the season was going to be a rough one. Um,

278
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: and even if the team had gone four and or

279
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: oh and four in the first month the season, if

280
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: you just said, listen, if we can see some things,

281
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: if we're going to get someplace and we can see

282
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: some improvement, the team's competitive, you know, we'll kind of live.

283
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: We'll get through it. First week was not that it

284
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: was anything, but that this one much better than it

285
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: was a week ago. But still, you know, it's a

286
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: double digit loss. Um. It's you know one side of

287
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: that game, right, and so now you've got to take

288
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: another step forward in a team that's even better than

289
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: the first two you've played. So, Uh, you're going into

290
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: a team in Minnesota that is at the top of

291
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: the heap with Super Bowl expectations around the country and

292
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: all the all the aspects that goes with it in

293
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: the preseason and all the prognostication that Vikings are a

294
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: good team, and you got to go in there, and

295
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you're doing it now. Um, after the first two weeks

296
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: of your team playing like that, now the Vontae Davis

297
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: stunt that he pulled, h and you got your You're

298
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: playing your rookie quarterback on the road, Uh, starting a

299
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: game you're up against it. This is this is something

300
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: that's going to be difficult for this team to get through.

301
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean they don't have to go through it.

302
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to step it up and get in there.

303
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the game the way it is. Let's

00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: We'll talk about whever you'd like like to talk about

308
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback Josh Allen A little bit um Steve and

309
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: I sam ideas on that he makes his first NFL start,

310
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen with the passable numbers, no pun intended, a

311
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: couple of interceptions and comes out with a loss. So

312
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: what did you think? How would you grade Josh Allen's

313
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: first career NFL start? That's our Twitter poll today, we

314
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: got it up on Twitter. And what does he need

315
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: to do better? That maybe the most important thing. What

316
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: does he need to continue to do? That's what we'd

317
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: like to hear from you, either on Twitter or on

318
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: the phone line. So the numbers they call eight oh

319
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty. We're toll free from outside Buffalo

320
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. What

321
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: grade would you give Josh Allen? What does he need

322
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: to do better? What does he need to continue to do?

323
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: On the Twitter poll, ABC D grades are offered and

324
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: half of you, fifty percent of you say he gets

325
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: a B. We've got fourteen hundred votes in already on this.

326
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Forty four percent of you say I'd give him a C,

327
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: three percent say an A, three percent say a D.

328
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: What do you think you can give a letter grade.

329
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: But let's get into a little deeper than that. How

330
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: would your grade his first career start. What did you like?

331
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: What would you like to see more of? I thought

332
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: he was okay, Steve, not great, certainly, not an A

333
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: maybe not even a B in my book. But I

334
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: thought a solid C maybe B minus. Like what I saw.

335
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the armed talent is there, and that's what

336
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: gives him the edge over his predecessor, Nathan Peterman, the

337
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: fact that he's got the big arm and he can

338
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: make plays. And they didn't get that at all against

339
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore when Peterman played in the first half last week.

340
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: I do I did see some things that I'd like

341
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: him to do better. I'd like him to get rid

342
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: of the ball quicker. And this goes to your point

343
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: about the shore passing game. He doesn't need to seven

344
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: step drop and wait for somebody to get open thirty

345
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: yards down field. Let's get a short passing game going.

346
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Let's protect him better than they did. But if he

347
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: gets rid of the ball, his protection will improve. I

348
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: think he needs to do that a little bit, so

349
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: pluses and minus. As I said, I'd give him a

350
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: B minus. Maybe a C plus for his performance yesterday.

351
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: What do you think, Yeah, I'd give him. I'd give

352
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: him a B. I think for the first start of

353
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: his career. He did get a little bit of time

354
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: in week one. Now I'd give him a B. I

355
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: liked a lot of the things he did when he

356
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: had time. His propensity was to stand in there and

357
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: use it and to throw the football. I think the

358
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: thing that I also saw some stuff on the sideline.

359
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: We got a little clip of him being on the

360
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: sidelines giving it to his defense, trying to get them

361
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: to rally around it. That's what you want from your quarterback.

362
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: I think some of the thing intangibles that I want

363
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: to see from him. You get a guy if you're

364
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: in there, and this starts at practice and in meeting

365
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: rooms and off the field. Josh is a great kid,

366
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: no question about. Everybody sees it. He's a little bit

367
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: of a wide eyed innocent coming from Wyoming, a little

368
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: bit of you know, he's got this. Everybody laughs and

369
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: says he's a little country kid, you know, coming into

370
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: the to the NFL. But let me tell you something,

371
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: at some point he's gonna have to sit in there

372
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: and understand this there's at a time, maybe it's now.

373
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: He knows more about this offense than anybody else in

374
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: the huddle. He knows every what everybody's doing. He knows

375
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: what the receiver's doing, he knows the techniques, he knows

376
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line, he knows the protection. He's got to

377
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: hold all those guys accountable. And he can't be buddy

378
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: buddy and put his arm around him say hey, it's

379
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, we're gonna do it. He's got to

380
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: slap him across the face mask, don't jump offsides. You're

381
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: not getting I'm not going to tolerate you haven't a

382
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: false start on my offensive line when I'm trying to

383
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: do it. He can he can step into the huddle

384
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: and say these exact words. Listen, I'm not gonna be perfect.

385
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm a rookie quarterback. My job is harder than all

386
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: your guys. You gotta be perfect, and if you're not,

387
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat you up verbally, and you gotta be

388
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: I expect you guys to be perfect, because there's no

389
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: way I can be get it done and not tolerate

390
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: anything else. He's got to be a little bit of

391
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: a jerk to these guys. That's a quarterback. And listen,

392
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: and I've told you this a ton go ahead, go ahead.

393
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it sounds like you're thinking of

394
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback that you were around a little bit right

395
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: with him. Yet what Jim was like that? Yeah, and listen,

396
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: So's rich Gannon, So's Dan fous so is Philip Rivers,

397
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: So's Drew Brees, So's Eli Man, So's Tom Brady. You

398
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: don't even take Tom Brady has had a shout You

399
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: saw it the other day. He's a shouting match. I've

400
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: heard stories about Tom Brady throwing a guy out of

401
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: the huddle in New England and the guy never gets

402
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: back in. He's gone. Those kind of things happen with

403
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks. You have to hold the rest of the

404
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: team accountable, but to be mistake free because your job

405
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: is so difficult, there's no way you can be. So

406
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: you've got to expect them to be where they're where

407
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be, when they're supposed to be there,

408
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: and they had better be given a maximum effort or

409
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna have set him. You'll tell the coaches to

410
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: set him down and bring some other schmuck in even

411
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: if he's worse, at least you know that you got

412
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: to send a message. And I'm not saying Josh Allen's

413
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: ready to do that and his second starting. I'm not

414
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 1: saying the roster around him is good enough that he

415
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: can do that. But at some point this quarterback can't

416
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: be the guy. Sho, I'm super excited about having to start. Guy.

417
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna be great. He's got to be the guy.

418
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: And I've heard Charlie Joyner told me he did this.

419
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: One Dan Fouts was in the huddle and he was

420
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: just got in the huddle and he says, and he

421
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: told one of the office I'm like, hey, look at

422
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: me when I'm calling these signals. And the guy was tired,

423
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: and he kept his head down. He goes, look at

424
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: me when I'm doing this, and the guy was still tired.

425
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: Dan Fouts walked down through the huddle and slapped the

426
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: guy on the side of the head. He says, give

427
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: me your eyes. And that was just to call the play.

428
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: Quarterback has to do that because everybody around him has

429
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: to be perfect because he can't do his job unless

430
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: they are. And he's not gonna be perfect. Nobody is

431
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: no quarterback will be. Now, he'll be great on a

432
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: play here and there, but he's got too much to

433
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: worry about to have guys in there that don't know

434
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: what they're doing. And that's what and that's what I

435
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: want to see more from Josh Allen. Maybe it's early

436
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: to be expecting him to do that all the time.

437
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not in his personality just yet. Maybe he

438
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: doesn't feel confident that he knows enough to have guys

439
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: doing stuff that. Maybe he's not on top of all

440
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: their jobs like he should be. But I'll tell you what,

441
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: pretty soon, Josh Allen's gonna have to slap a couple

442
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: of face masks and say, hey, get your head in here,

443
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: stop jumping off sides, stop getting holding calls, stop getting

444
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: passing for whatever. You saw a little bit of it

445
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: on the sidelines when he was there talking to his defense.

446
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: He's got to be that guy and they will. They'll

447
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: respond to that guy. They may not like it in

448
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: the moment, but when he does it to somebody else,

449
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: when somebody else messes up and he's and he's keeping

450
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: them in line so you don't have to, they're gonna

451
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. This roster isn't where it's gonna be. I mean,

452
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: they got a hunt. They got fifty million in dead

453
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: cap money. They signed the free agents they could with

454
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: the money they had they got. They got kicked in

455
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: the stomach when they got two offensive linemen. They didn't

456
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: expect to lose leave. They signed a guy now and

457
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: he has to take he leaves at halftime of a game.

458
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: They got. They went out and got what they could

459
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: get with what they had to get him with. But

460
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: you know what, this quarterback is the guy they wanted.

461
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: He's the guy they wanted. He's got to step up

462
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: and and I know he's not raised. Not time for

463
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: him to be that, you know, twelve year veteran, you know,

464
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: with the big arm, and he knows the offense. He's

465
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: been in the offense for three He's not that time yet,

466
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: But sooner or later he's going to have to be

467
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen. What kind of a grade would

468
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: you give him for his first career start? Also some

469
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: thoughts on Vonte Davis. Let's take a few phone calls here,

470
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: Anthony and Amherst on the line with us. Hello, Anthony,

471
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: go ahead, Oh god, it's my honor of secret to Hey,

472
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say, real quick, John, I really

473
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: appreciate your comments on Vontay. I really stay you hit

474
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: the nail on the heat. Couldn't agree more with Lorenzo.

475
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: Just so happy we have such a leader and such

476
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: a great player on our team. I saw him making

477
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: plays all over the field yesterday. To talk about a

478
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: couple of posites, real quick. I thought the offensive line

479
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: showed improvement. Didn't see that coming. That was nice to see.

480
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: I think Josh Owen played well. Steve I agree on

481
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: the B possibly a B plus grade. I think he

482
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: needs to take a little bit off on the close throws,

483
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: like he's really gunned it in there. But I was impressed.

484
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: Like to see more out of Lashan and overall I

485
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: did see some improvements. I'd like to see coach mcdee

486
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: continue to make the play calling on defense. I'll hang

487
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: up and listen to your comment. Good good, Yeah, I'm

488
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna I'm sure coach mcdermot's gonna have to

489
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: feel some questions about that. How that's going to go

490
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: going for it? Obviously he didn't close the door on it,

491
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: and he didn't open the door. I mean, by the

492
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: way he meets with immedia at four today, so some

493
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: of those answers may him out at that right he'll

494
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: be asked about that, so you'll be able to hear

495
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: what mcdermot's gonna say. You can go you can come

496
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: back here to one Bill's Live tomorrow when we talk

497
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: about it, and you can also go to the website.

498
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: M mcdermot's going to be asked about that. That was

499
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: that was a defense that played different in the second half,

500
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: And like Murph and I have both said, listen, the

501
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: Chargers weren't the same offense in the second half as

502
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: they were in the first, but that defense wasn't either.

503
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: And Sean McDermott taking over the play callings, you know,

504
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: I think it's we need to find out about that

505
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: is that. I don't know if that's a good idea.

506
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: I know they played better in the second half, but

507
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: I like a coach who is in charge of the

508
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: whole game. We've talked a lot on this show. I

509
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: have anyway about the Dolphins and how they're head coach

510
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: Adam Gada is so focused on his offense defense that

511
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't I don't think he pays attention to the

512
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, or did the entire game.

513
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: I like the fact that to date, until yesterday, McDermott

514
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: has been the head coach and that he trusted and

515
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: allowed Leslie Frasier to call the defenses. I hope they

516
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: go back to that, But if he thinks it's best

517
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: to do it, then go ahead. They can't keep playing

518
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: the way they did the first six quarters of the season. Yeah,

519
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: and that's right. And that's the thing. It's desperate times

520
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: for desperate measures for different desperate times. What everyone's saying.

521
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: I think they're in a spot now or listen, something's

522
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: got to change, you know. And I don't know whether

523
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: they think it was just a one time thing in

524
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: that game, or whether it's something systemic with the way

525
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier sees the game as opposed away Sean McDermott

526
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: sees the game. I don't know. But here's the thing.

527
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: In that moment, there no doubt he needed to change something,

528
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: and he did it. I applause him for that. Yeah,

529
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: Now does he have does he feel the need to

530
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: have to do that as he you know, I'm because

531
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure Ke and Leslie Frasier have a pretty good relationship.

532
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to have a conversation about what's going

533
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: to happen going forward because what Leslie Frasier was doing

534
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: and what Sean was doing, and believe me, they'll both

535
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: know whether a little bit of what of it was

536
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers taking his foot off the gas and Sean

537
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: McDermott calling different plays or whether it was shot just

538
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott's calls that made the difference. But it was

539
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: a better second half. So you know, that's a that's

540
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: an issue is going forward we gonna have to find out.

541
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: Go to Dino in Hamilton, Ontario. Hello, Dino, go ahead,

542
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. First of all, thank

543
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: you very much John for taking my call. J Murphy,

544
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: you're a fantastic gentleman. You'll wait to nice of a

545
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: man because I though you wanted to say something a

546
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: lot worse of Dante Davis, but you're a gentleman and

547
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: he wouldn't do that. Um. I just wanted to talk

548
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: first of about the defense. I think we all expected

549
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: the defense to step up for the team, knowing that

550
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback and the whole offense is a young offense,

551
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: from the center to the guard to the time. The

552
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: defense should have stepped up and maybe even held each

553
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: team to twenty points. They're very talented group. I think

554
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: the coach has to take over and make some calls

555
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: because they can do blitz as they can do a

556
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: lot more. And that's for the offensive line up on

557
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: all the blitzer is coming in. You got a young quarterback,

558
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: the Senate Robert Woods from last year. Um that Woods

559
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: are senting them from last year, Eric Wood. Eric Wood,

560
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: he would pick up all the blitzer and he would

561
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: call he would call them the defenses. I think this

562
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: whole offensive group, the offensive line is very very young,

563
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: and they need some seasoning behind them. And even Murphy

564
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: in the back on the fumbled pump on the fumbled kickoff,

565
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: and they all got to settle down and just just

566
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: realize that the whole offense is a very young group

567
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: and I'm not expecting anything from them. I am expecting

568
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: the defensive to step up and keep and keep the

569
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: offensive keep the offense close. Yeah, I mean, you know

570
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: that's the issue, I think, right I I like you,

571
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: I didn't expect a whole lot from the Buffalo offense

572
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: early in the season, especially, I did expect a lot

573
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: more from the Buffalo defense and Now it's not over

574
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: the season, not over, but through two games, it's my

575
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: main concern is how poorly they played defensively, not the offense,

576
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: not Josh Allen. Yeah, the offensive line did play better

577
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: in this game, no question about it. That there was

578
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: a team without their best pass rusher and Joey Boza,

579
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: but they did show improvement. Lashawn McCoy's numbers were an

580
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: improvement over the week one. Josh Allen did have moments

581
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: where he could stand in the pocket, step up in

582
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: the pocket. It looked like a real quarterback and he

583
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: looked his best when he did that when they did that.

584
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: So but they're still, let's face it, I mean, this

585
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: offensive line is gonna be a work in progress at best.

586
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna have some They've got some work

587
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: to do. They've got to play better. But the most

588
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: glaring disappointment is the defense, no question about it. Just

589
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: getting started here, we got a lot of ground to cover.

590
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: Vonte Davis, we can get me into more of that.

591
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Josh Davis loved to hear you're grade on his first

592
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen loved to hear you're grade on his

593
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: first NFL start. Plus all the other issues from yesterday's game.

594
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: Chris Brown's gonna be with us at one o'clock. The

595
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: aforementioned Eric Wood's going to be on the show this

596
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: at two o'clock. He was keeping an eye on the

597
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: game yesterday. We'll hear from him. So come on back,

Speaker 1: it was hot. I mean I'm talking about change your

610
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: shirt hot. That's how hot it was. I can't imagine

611
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: how it was playing down on the field. It was.

612
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: I was down on the field and MetLife Stadium yesterday

613
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: and it was unbearably hot. Yeah, it was. It might

614
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: They give us these coats where these jazz sport coats

615
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: to wear, and they make it. It's thin, but it's

616
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: made out of wall. I didn't know it was made

617
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: out of wall until I started sweating like a lone

618
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: sprinkler in it and smelled like a wet sheet. Did

619
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: you keep it on all day? It was? Yeah, I was.

620
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: I was on the air. I mean, we're a nice

621
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: little golf polo. No, they know they've got a thing,

622
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: you know. They said the I CBSI jacking Tiffany network. Man,

623
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: it was so hot. It was hot. And it was

624
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: bad here too, I mean a hot here too. I

625
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: had some friends who were at the game and it

626
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: was like being in a stir front. It was bad, man,

627
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: And the game was bad too. The first half was awful.

628
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: The Bills wind up losing thirty one twenty. Want to

629
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: hear view about the game. Want to get your sense

630
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: out of what you thought Josh Allen's day was like

631
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: his first NFL start. You made some thoughts on Vante Davis.

632
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Let's take a little trip around

633
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: the locker room, though, and hear what Bill's players had

634
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: to say. I was in there talking to several players

635
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: after the game. There is some sound also from the podium,

636
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: so here it is a trip around the locker room

637
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: after yesterday's loss. Head coach Sean Mcremer on the Bills

638
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: first half struggles on defense. Can't start that way in

639
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: this league. I thought defensively we didn't play well enough,

640
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: obviously in the first half against a good offensive unit,

641
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: spotting them twenty eight points. Now give them credit. I'm

642
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: not saying, you know they did it. We did it

643
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: all to ourselves, but some of that we did. And um,

644
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: and then offensively we go three and out way too

645
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: many times, and then special teams we can't gain field

646
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: position and those that's a bad recipe right there in

647
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: the first half. Quarterback Josh Allen on half time adjustments

648
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: to the Bills made I think play calling in second

649
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: half was a little more aggressive, and you know, it

650
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: was kind of a tell two house. You know, we

651
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: came out in second half and we played harder. We

652
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: wanted a little more ultimate. To win football in the NFL,

653
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: you gotta play sixty minutes. Wide receiver Calvin Benjamin. The

654
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: Bills fell behind in each of their first two games.

655
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: I feel like we worked on it this week, but

656
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: we still gotta go back with that film correct the mistakes. Um. Yeah,

657
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: we just put ourselves in the home. Know, Um let

658
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: him got up fourteen points on us, and you know

659
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, we gotta just we gotta just put

660
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: points on the board really to keep keep the scoring,

661
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, kind of close the defense player good man,

662
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: I feel like they give us a lot of chances.

663
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: Guard John Miller on Los Angeles aggressive defense. We knew

664
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: that they was gonna come. Uh, and I think anytime

665
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: you started Rickie, our quarterback, that's generally what the defensive

666
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: coordinated think and let's put pressure on the let's get

667
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: fuels and and things like that. Um, but we knew,

668
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: we knew it was coming. Um. You know, we tried

669
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: to protect it up as best we can. Um. They

670
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: did come with some looks that we didn't expect, that

671
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: we didn't that they didn't show on film. Um, So

672
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: we just got to watch them and and get get

673
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: some things corrected. Safety Jordan Poyer on the Bill's defensive

674
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: changes in the second half. We just found ways to

675
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: get off the field. Man. I think, uh, we we

676
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: had some half time adjustments that we were able to

677
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: come out and execute. And you know, that's the type

678
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: of that society defense that we want to build off of.

679
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously took a took another tough loss.

680
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: But you know positive side is you know, that second

681
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: half defense, that's who we want to be in. It's

682
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: it's some some positive build offers. Uh, you know, I

683
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't say we died up more pressure. I think we

684
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: were still calling the same amount of pressures, but I

685
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: think we just changed, you know, a couple of couple

686
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: gadgets up here and there, and uh, we're able to

687
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: execute the second half. Light backer Lorenzo Alexander. The Bills

688
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: have struggled in the red zone on defense. There's a

689
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: couple of plays where they just made some great throws.

690
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: But you have to find a way sometimes, you know,

691
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: to knock the ball out. And that's where it comes

692
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: down to at the end of the day, one of

693
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: those one on one matchups. And that's what the NFL

694
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: is all about, you know, putting your players on their

695
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: players and who's gonna come down with the bottom. We

696
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: have to figure out ways to do it. Some things

697
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: is hard, Like they scheme us a little bit with

698
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: that tackle over that counter coming back. That's something they

699
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: hadn't shown UM last year. Actually ran it the other

700
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: way UM and got us, and so they kind of

701
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: they knew we were going to scheme on that and

702
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: they hit us the other way. So those things I

703
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: can I can live with. But when you know you

704
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: have a one on one matchup, we gotta figure out

705
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: how to win those a little bit better and make

706
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: a break on the ball a little bit quicker so

707
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: we can find ourselves coming down in the winds in

708
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: all situations. There you go. That is around the locker room.

709
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: That's what they were saying. Brought to you by Units

712
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: Company from One Bill's Drive talking about the Bill's loss

713
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: on the home opener thirty one to twenty to the Chargers.

714
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: It needs to be said, as bad as the Buffalo

715
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: defense was, the Chargers offense was very good. Steve very

716
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: well coached. Lorenzo talked about he's talking about I believe

717
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: the first touchdown, the second touchdown when Melvin Gordon just

718
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: ran in all alone and he went to the week side,

719
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: took one step, a little counterrun, then went back to

720
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: the left. There was nobody around him, And that I

721
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: think is the play Lorenzos talking about how they gave

722
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: him a different look than what they saw on tape,

723
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: masterfully drawn up by Ken wizzen Hunt and his coaching

724
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: staff and called at the exact right time by Philip Rivers.

725
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: Just amazing. Yeah, and it was. There's a lot in

726
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: all those those snippets from the players around. You know

727
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: what I think of the stuff that even Kelvin Benjamin says, says, listen,

728
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: we got to score points, you know, and that's the

729
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: bottom line for the offense. And if you've got a

730
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: defense to struggling, your offense has to score points. I

731
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: like the fact that Josh Allen noticed, he said they

732
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: got a little more aggressive in the second half of

733
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: their play calling. I think he's him being on top

734
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: of that is a good thing. Lorenzo Alexander, of course,

735
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: is a guy who the stuff he said about scheming

736
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: it up and looking and giving you some insights to

737
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: how prepared they were, and it comes down to for him,

738
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, they got to play better one on one.

739
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: They've got to play better. John Miller, uh he And

740
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: I think John Miller what he said about this pressures

741
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: that San Diego brought, they expected him. I thought for

742
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: the most part, they did a pretty good job. No

743
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: question that they got a break by Joey Boza not

744
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: being in the lineup, but by the same token whoever

745
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: they lined up there. The Bill's offensive line did compete

746
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: with They did a lot better this year this week

747
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: than they did last week, and there's some things to

748
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: build on there. I'd just say I would disagree in

749
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: this respect. Melvin Gordon, no Ingram. Melvin Ingram Ingram, Yeah,

750
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: he was a ganful and they had no answers. Jordan

751
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: Mills struggled. I thought several times with Melvin Ingram, and

752
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: you'd think without Joey Bosa, they could, you know, slide

753
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: the line one way, maybe give a Mills little help.

754
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: They didn't seem to happen yesterday. So that was. Yeah,

755
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: there's too many times when Chargers, you know, they only

756
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: had nine third downs in the entire game. You know,

757
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: they never needed third down, So that was that was

758
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: the thing. And then most of them, I think we're

759
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: in the second half, so um, it was a rough day.

760
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: It was a rough day defensively, Offensively he kind of

761
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: expected it, and I think offensively it was easy to

762
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: be pleasantly surprised by Um Josh Allen's ability to throw

763
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: the football in the fact that he kept I think

764
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: that secondary for San Diego walked out of the thing. Man.

765
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: That guy could sling it. He showed it off a

766
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday. So there's a lot of things to

767
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: be happy about with Josh Allen. But there's no question

768
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: on and off the field. I think, Josh, you gotta

769
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: take a couple of steps forward, uh, and they've got

770
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: to play better around him. Let's talk about Josh. What

771
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: do you think? What kind of a letter grade would

772
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: you give him? And what do you think of his performance?

773
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: Got a couple of folks online to talk about this.

774
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: Frank and Williamsville. Go ahead, Frank around the air. Yeah,

775
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: I gotta I got a question and a comment. If

776
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: you allow it, I'd really appreciate it. Um Steve, what

777
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: if he made a throw yesterday and Benjamin's hip it

778
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: was he's going towards the engine end zone and he

779
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: turns around, is intentionally underthrown like his right hip and

780
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: Benjamin didn't catch the ball. But my question about that

781
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: is how does that work on? Is that a timing

782
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: thing that does the receiver know me that Spaull's gonna

783
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: be thrown there? Um? Or is that just like is

784
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: it uh Allen thrown in the right spot? Or if

785
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: you could comment on that, and I one one question

786
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: if I could after go ahead, Well you want to

787
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: ask your question, I'll answer both of them at the end.

788
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: Go ahead, But actually I'm not having any more fun

789
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: with this. I'm going to retire in the middle of

790
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: his call. Good good one. Yeah, here's the thing. Um,

791
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: the uh the back throw that you're talking about a

792
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: back to shoulder I can't remember exact throw you're talking

793
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: about off the top of my head. I watched the

794
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: game last night. Um, those throws are timing throws. And

795
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: what happens is uh it is it is a timing

796
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: thing that the receiver has to be on top of it,

797
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: and the ball, if it's on his hip, it needs

798
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: to be higher than that. The receiver needs to get

799
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: his hips around and catch it. But if it's if

800
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: it's catchable, you gotta catch it. If it's a good catch,

801
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: you gotta make the good catch. If it's a tough catch,

802
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: you gotta make the tough catch. The quarterback's got to

803
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: throw it to the right guy in the right spot. Um,

804
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: it's it's both. But when you're you're talking about throwing

805
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: it down the sideline on one of those back shoulder throws, Uh,

806
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: it's a tough throw for me to make, for me

807
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: to to see making because the receiver has to see

808
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: the ball coming when he has to kind of look

809
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: over his shoulder, his inside shoulder, catch that ball coming

810
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: out and then adjusting to it. And the quarterback has

811
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: to trust that his receiver is gonna do that because

812
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: it U it is a called play, it is a

813
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: timing route. It is something they work on, and um,

814
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to it's it's hard to execute, there's no

815
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,479
Speaker 1: question about it. But with a norm like Allen's, yeah,

816
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: you got to be able to make those throws. And

817
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: you'd like love to see Benjamin come down with it

818
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: because the throw been better, absolutely, but yeah, you got

819
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: to come down with those and those are but those

820
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: are called plays. It's not something that Josh Ellen just

821
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: decided to try and do. From the tweet sheet from

822
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: we asked the question, how would you grade Josh Allen's

823
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: first NFL start. James Livingston responds, he played while at times, however,

824
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: with receivers running open a few times. He needs to

825
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: see the entire field better and run through his progressions.

826
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: Also needs to make quicker decisions to give the online

827
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: some help. I think that's the key for me. Quicker decisions.

828
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: Steve maybe wrong decisions from time to time, right, but quicker,

829
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: you gotta get rid of the ball. And your offensive

830
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: line is is not that strong right now, You got

831
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball. I think one of

832
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: these two. He needs his receivers to win better, give

833
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: him a little bit of help. The guys on the

834
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: outside gotta win a little bit better. There was a

835
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: couple of times you see right here in the MSG

836
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: thing he didn't have time to give that to hold

837
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: onto the football. He stepped up and he was already

838
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: avoiding pressure. Sometimes the pressure got there quick, but for

839
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: the most part, when he had time, he used up

840
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: all the time he had. And sometimes that ball's going

841
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: to come out there quick, come out of there quick.

842
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: So I agree that all of that, I mean, every

843
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: aspect of his quarterback play needs to be better than

844
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: it was yesterday. But there were some things that were

845
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: far and away good enough to win on certain plays

846
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: and team any twenty two tweets in I love how

847
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: tall he stands in the pocket and showed leadership talking

848
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: to the d on the sidelines. Needs to work on

849
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: his accuracy and making quicker decisions. I believe that will

850
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: come with time. A lot to be excited about This

851
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: season will be a plus if he shows progress, regardless

852
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: of the record. That's where a lot of people are.

853
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: I think today there was a lot to be excited

854
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: about with him that we saw just as we broke away.

855
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: He was trying to get the ball to Croom on

856
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: the sideline. We threw the one out of the end zone.

857
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: It was intercepted, just a little bit underthrown on that play,

858
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: but you love the way he stood tall in the pocket,

859
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: out of the shadow, literally out of the shadow of

860
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: his own goal one gold post. There is a lot

861
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: to be excited about. But every throw has gotta be

862
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: on it. Every throw's gotta be accurate, and every throw

863
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: has got to be with the right pace. And I

864
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are tweeting in about his

865
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: short throws. Yeah, and the fact that he puts a

866
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: little too much pepper less. You know, Yes, I saw

867
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: that a training kid too, and I'm anticipating that'll come around, right,

868
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: That'll get better. Well, it has to, and I think

869
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: there's no question you can work on it, and he's

870
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: going to be he's working on it even now, probably so,

871
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can. You can that stuff you can

872
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: fix and I would think relatively easily. I want to

873
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: say one more thing about Team any twenty two tweet

874
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: that Steve just read on the tweet sheet, and that's

875
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: the last sentence. A lot to be excited about this

876
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: season will be a plus if he shows progress regardless

877
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: of the record. You're right, Team Anti twenty two. That

878
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: is um you know, and it's not fun to acknowledge that.

879
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: But this season is a big chunk of the season

880
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: is about Josh Allen's development as an NFL quarterback, and

881
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: there is a lot to be excited about the arm

882
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: talent on display yesterday. If he shows progress, if he

883
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: gets better, even more reason for Bills fans to get excited.

884
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: I hate to say regardless of the record and say

885
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: we don't care, because they do care, right, we care.

886
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: Everyone cares. Wins. You want wins. But I think team

887
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: Any twenty two shows a mature and reasoned approach to

888
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: what this season is becoming very rare on a Monday

889
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: like this, that's right after a tough loss like that.

890

Speaker 1: at home theater provider of the the Buffalo Bills. That was

915
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes third quarter sack and the Bills in the

916
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: middle of their defensive resurgence yesterday. Let's take it away

917
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: from the Bills for a second. Steve big win for

918
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks, who are now two and oh

919
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: at home against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

920
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: Another great game for Ryan Fitzpatrick right, another four hundred

921
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: yard game. That's two in a row for Fits through

922
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes. But he really made his mark in

923
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: the postgame locker room. If you haven't seen it, you

924
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: won't be able to see it if you're only on radio.

925
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: But fitz went to the postgame podium dressed in the

926
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: close of his teammate right to Seahn Jackson, including a

927
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: bunch of blaying like he dressed like Cam Newton. Yeah,

928
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: he had a leather jacket that was opened, apparently to

929
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: the navel and fitz talked about that when he went

930
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: to the podium yesterday. Let's listen it before the origin

931
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: of this out It's nothing. I mean, I think we

932
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: just have to stay humble, you know, we gotta make

933
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: sure we know how to handle success and all those things,

934
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: so we can't change who we are. How many carrots

935
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: do you think are around your It's really heavy. It's

936
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: really heavy. Dj I got like two more because d

937
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: Jack means and stuff. Thing I borrowed yourself. Yeah, I

938
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: borrowed your stuff. Sorry to show any of that yours?

939
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: Or is the chestair's mine? Ryan Fitzpatrick. If you haven't

940
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: seen it, you got to try to see it. I'm

941
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 1: sure most people have seen. It. Reminded me of fits

942
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: his performance at the Fred Jackson Rose last last January February,

943
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: when he literally got undressed at the podium to change

944
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: into another outfit that day, dress up his Fred and

945
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: apparently He likes to dressing up as others because at

946
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: the podium and it's it's a it's thrown a little

947
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: bit of shade at Cam Newton. Cam Newton is. Cam

948
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: Newton is the guy who if you if you keep

949
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 1: track of his career, after every game, you know, the

950
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for both teams go up and they talk

951
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: to the media at the podium and you've seen it

952
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: a million times. Well, Cam Newton dolls up. Yeah, Tyrod

953
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: did too. Writer they starting because some of those guys

954
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: feel if that's a moment for them to you know,

955
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: present themselves as as as an executive or a star star,

956
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: as a celebrity, as a starting quarterback in the NFL.

957
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: Cam go with his like over the top with his

958
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: he goes all out, always has a hat and all that.

959
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: So Fitzpatrick does that yesterday. He comes out in the aviators, reflector,

960
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: sunglasses and the like he said, gold chains and all that,

961
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: and then and makes fun of the success he's had.

962
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: If you haven't noticed, he has had two of the

963
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: most outstanding games except for Patrick Mahomes, Ryan Fitzpatrick has

964
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: really played extremely well for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, leading

965
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: them to two wins and it was time and it

966
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: was a great moment for him to do that. It

967
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: was time perfectly, and you know it fits for the

968
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: people in Buffalo. You know, his the life cycle of

969
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick for whatever team he's on. In fact, by

970
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: the way he beat the Eagles yesterday, it was the

971
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: sixth time Ryan Fitzpatrick has started a game against the

972
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, and it was his sixth team, sixteen different

973
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: teams he has started at quarterback against the Philadelphia Eagles.

974
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: I think he's two and four against him are three

975
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: and three at best, But yesterday was one of the wins.

976
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: He got a win, and it was the sixth time

977
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: he has started a game against that franchise for a

978
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: sixth different team, and he had four touchdowns and almost

979
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: four hundred yards passing it again, so it's just fits.

980
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: His success makes me think about something that I feel

981
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: like I don't have time to think about during during

982
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: the regular season. But maybe Steve and we can't get

983
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: into this two deeply because this is this is a

984
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 1: deep thoughts by John Murphy. Maybe we overthink what we're

985
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: what we need from a quarterback sometimes. When we started

986
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: talking about mobility and arm strength and accuracy and all

987
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: the different variables that go into like the Bills just

988
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: went through, when you're drafting a quarterback, all the things

989
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: you look at. You know, you don't get those measurables

990
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: from Ryan Fitzpatrick. You don't. He does not have measurables.

991
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: What does he have? He has experience, he has an attitude,

992
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: he has an intellect. He's smart. Smart, Um, maybe those

993
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: things should be waited a little bit heavier. Again, it's

994
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: a it's a deep thought. We don't have a lot

995
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: of time of time. I'll give you one reply to that.

996
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: Please do what fitz brings can't be sustained. You've seen

997
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: it here. We saw it here. We saw it there.

998
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: When when a defense comes out and plays certain ways

999
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,479
Speaker 1: against Ryan Fitzpatrick, when they when they get on top

1000
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: of what his game is all about and the guys

1001
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: around him, it is not his the way he has

1002
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: played in the first couple of weeks, he's just not

1003
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: sustainable long term. That's why it's going to be difficult

1004
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: for um the Buccaneers to leave him in there. When

1005
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston comes back in two games. Really, Um and

1006
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: I and I'm and it's easy to say he's not

1007
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: going to play that well next week. Well yeah, okay,

1008
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: even if he comes out right, but it is not

1009
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: sustainable and that and for whatever reason I can't even

1010
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: get into the details is why. Because we've seen it

1011
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: a million times. We were laughing in the office today

1012
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: about he's gonna go in, he's gonna be a backup.

1013
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: The quarterback's gonna go down for something. Fitz is gonna

1014
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: come in and light it up. He's gonna sign a

1015
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 1: big contract. He's gonna stink. After that, he's gonna get

1016
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: cut and he's gonna sign with a different team as

1017
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,479
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. Then that quarterbacks you know, gonna go down.

1018
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna come in, light it up, sign a big contract,

1019
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: and he's gonna stink. He's gonna get cut. That has

1020
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: been the six teams now through six teams. That's how

1021
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: it's gone for him. Where he's gone in as a backup,

1022
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: he's lit it up. It's so much fun though when

1023
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: he's winning in it, and that just tells you it's

1024
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: just hit. The way he plays is just not sustainable.

1025
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 1: His physical abilities catch up to him at some point

1026
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: and they force him to do some things he's not

1027
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: capable of doing and and then it's it's hard to

1028
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: win with him, wre but you are a serious buzz kill.

1029
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: Feel good about today was Ryan Fitzpatrick yan Away. You

1030
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: can feel good about him because he's one of the

1031
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: all time great guys. He's one of the all time

1032
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: great teammates. He's one of the all time fun stories.

1033
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: And you see him. He never he didn't even take

1034
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: himself so seriously, right, not at all, And it's just

1035
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: a he's just a blast to be around, great guy

1036
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: to talk to in a production meeting, sharp and he's

1037
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: made a pile of money. They've got He and his

1038
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: family have traveled around he's and finally one of his

1039
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: older kids had to talk his younger kid into using him.

1040
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: And in Fantasy for week one, his nine year old

1041
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: had to talk his seven year old and say, no,

1042
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: you gotta play dad, you gotta was like, I don't know, racket.

1043
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's quite a conversation, right, It's a great

1044
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: family story, and he's just you cannot not pull for

1045
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: the guy. Yeah, but if you're running a franchise, like listen,

1046
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: he is what he is, he can give you so

1047
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: and one thing feeling good about today and Steve just

1048
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: took it away from You can still feel good about it.

1049
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: But he's just short lived. It's not gonna lie. You've

00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: Bills starting cornerback abruptly retired at halftime of the loss

1066
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: of the Chargers, issuing a statement later in the day

1067
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: saying that the reality reality had hit him he should

1068
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: not be out there anymore. A ten year veteran two

1069
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 1: time Pro Bowl performer, left at halftime. He retired. Cleveland

1070
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 1: brown say they want to move Josh Gordon. They announced

1071
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: on Saturday they planned to release some day, reconsidered, and

1072
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: now it seems likely that the Browns are going to

1073
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 1: try to trade the talented but troubled wide receiver. Reports

1074
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: are from NFL Network that it would not be a

1075
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: surprise if Gordon was or it would be a surprise

1076
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: if Gordon was not traded by four pm today, the

1077
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: deadline for the team's release when teams released players. Multiple

1078
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: teams reportedly have inquired about Josh Gordon's availability, and that

1079
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: has built a legitimate market. The Browns expected to change

1080
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: kickers this week after Zam Gonzalez missed four attempts that

1081
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: cost the team eight points in a three point loss yesterday.

1082
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: He missed two field goals and two extra points in

1083
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: the twenty one eighteen loss to the Saints. The Browns

1084
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: reportedly working out kickers today. Jaguars starting left tackle Cam

1085
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: Robinson as a tourn acl in his left knee suffered

1086
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: it in the first quarter of their winner of the

1087
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: Patriots yesterday. Former second round pick of the Jaguars last year,

1088
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals coach Steve Wilkes says they're probably going to be

1089
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: the lineup changes coming this week in the wake of

1090
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: their thirty four to nothing lost to the Los Angeles Rams.

1091
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: That include quarterback where Sam Bradford has struggled two struggles

1092
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: in the first two games, going seventeen for twenty seven

1093
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,720

1101
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: You can follow him on Twitter at Chris Brown Bills. Hi, Chris,

1102
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm doing okay? You're recovered? You're okay?

1103
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm recovered? Yeah, sure, Brownie. You didn't you don't have

1104
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: any game sore nous. No. The only thing I have

1105
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 1: a risk of is carpal tunnel right right right. Steve

1106
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: asked me, how are we gonna get Brownie worked out?

1107
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: I said, say two words to him, Bonte Davis. He said,

1108
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: you said it in your thing and I kind of

1109
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: looked at when you were reading it the update just

1110
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: a minute ago. You said, you know, you retired at halftime,

1111
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: and I was like, I kind of elbowed. Brownie said,

1112
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: he didn't retire, he quit. He quit. He just quit.

1113
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: Was he expecting to like push a podium out to

1114
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: the fifty yard line and have a little ceremony today,

1115
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: I would like to announce I consider myself the luckiest

1116
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: man alive. Terrible Chris unheard of in the NFL, and

1117
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 1: his legacy is forever stained. I would think whatever NFL

1118
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: legacy he may have had, yeah, And I think the

1119
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: reason why is because you never see it at this

1120
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: level of sports. Because to get to the professional level,

1121
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: you have to be a rare breed of competitor. Even

1122
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: if you're physically gifted to play at the pro level,

1123
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: there is still a measure of dedication that you have

1124
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: to have to get this far and rarely, if ever,

1125
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: this is precedent setting. But rarely, if ever, do you

1126
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: see a player that can perform at this level quite

1127
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: capably choose this route at that time you want to,

1128
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: you want to hang it up and say you can't

1129
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: play anymore. There are more opportune times to do it

1130
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: than at halftime of a regular season game. It defies

1131
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: all logic. I mean, whether you want to get at

1132
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: least I mean, just get to the end of the game,

1133
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit better, not great, still not

1134
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 1: great because you're quitting in the middle of a regular

1135
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: season with teammates that are counting on you. You're one

1136
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: of fifty three out there. How many times do we

1137
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: hear coach McDermott talk about doing your one eleventh? This

1138
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: guy did is one eleventh for two quarters? So what

1139
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: is that one twenty second because it's for half of

1140
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: a game. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I'm

1141
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: not trying to be flipped here, but you know, we've

1142
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: got a situation that you can't you just can't have

1143
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: that here's all right, let's forget it this way too.

1144
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 1: And it's bizarre, it's embarrassing and we can get back

1145
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: to that in a moment. In practical terms, Monte Davis

1146
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: was not playing well and might not have been around

1147
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: here much longer, right, I think that's valid. Here's the

1148
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: troubling part. The Bills, I think as an organization gave

1149
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: Vante Davis the benefit of the doubt and said we're

1150
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: gonna work with you until you feel you're all the

1151
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: way back. I think that's part of the reason that

1152
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: he was inactive week one. Yeah, whoever it was that

1153
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: decided it wasn't all coming together for him yet coming

1154
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: off of major groin surgery. I give the Bills organization

1155
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: credit here because if they didn't think it was coming together,

1156
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: they could have clipped him at the end of preseason

1157
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: when they reduced the roster to fifty three. Instead, they

1158
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: kept him on the roster, including past week one, where

1159
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: vested veteran salaries become guaranteed whether they're on the roster

1160
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: or not, and they said, you know what, we're gonna

1161
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,919
Speaker 1: work with you, We're gonna bring you along, We're gonna

1162
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: wait for it to all come together where you feel

1163
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: comfortable out there on the field to go sixty snaps.

1164
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: That's why I asked coach the question after the game yesterday,

1165
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: was Vante on a pitch count because Trent Murphy was

1166
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 1: on a pinch count coming back from a groin injury.

1167
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: Here's Vonte Davis trying to work his way back, you know,

1168
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: and and he's and then coach kind of informed us

1169
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: all that it was a much different scenario than a

1170
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: pitch count. Well, I think the thing about Vonte through

1171
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: training camp and through all the you know, the struggles

1172
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: he had coming back from that growing surgery, was, you know,

1173
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: they thought he was going to be good enough physically

1174
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: that with ten years in the league, the experience he

1175
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: had was going to help him get through the tough

1176
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: times and overcome some of the even if the defense

1177
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: with his more zone calls right. So he had he

1178
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: had to fit the experience and the physical ability to

1179
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: at this point in his career depend on his experience,

1180
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: not his physical ability. But he still had enough left

1181
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: in the tank to help. Then he comes out, he's

1182
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: having trut he couldn't run well, and uh, and experience

1183
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: will only do so much. And then so they said,

1184
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: give him another week, give him, let's you know, let's

1185
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: watch him, let him get back into shape, to let

1186
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: him start to feel normal again, or at least what

1187
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: his new normal would be. And they made the commitment.

1188
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: I mean, three and a half million of his five

1189
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: million dollars salary was guaranteed, So there was there was

1190
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: an onus there too to continue to work with him.

1191
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: From a financial standpoint. It's not it's not guaranteed. Now, well, yeah,

1192
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: I try foot Hey, if i'm the bills, I'm filing

1193
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: a grievance. He has to. He has to when he

1194
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: signs his retirement papers, that all goes away, um, and

1195
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: it's not guaranteed anymore. And he may he may say, wait, wait,

1196
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: you know I'm not you know, yeah, he's that's a

1197
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: moot point. The bills will file with previous and that

1198
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: money's that money's not going anywhere. But guys, I remember

1199
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: being on your show here earlier, just a few weeks ago, saying,

1200
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: you know, Vante looked physically, doesn't look like he's all

1201
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: the way back yet. And I posed two scenarios to you, guys.

1202
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: I said, either A he just needs more time to

1203
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: get back to being the player that he was coming

1204
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: off of the major growing surgery last November, or B

1205
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 1: it's not coming back and it's just not going to

1206
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: be there ever again. And Vante Davis obviously made the

1207
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: determination that it wasn't there anymore and it wasn't coming back.

1208
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: I think you got to a point and I remember

1209
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: thinking this, Listen, you're gonna if you get to a

1210
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: point where you don't think you can play, you're gonna

1211
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 1: finish up whatever you're doing. I mean, if you decide

1212
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 1: even here's the thing, if you decide even come back

1213
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: for us a last year. You got a ten year

1214
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: veteran knows what that means well, right, And and that's

1215
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: my main issue because even if let's say the spring,

1216
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,479
Speaker 1: you're only four months removed from surgery and you don't

1217
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: know yet, I can buy that. I can get on

1218
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: board with that. I might need a little more time here.

1219
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: Let me see, once you get to the preseason and

1220
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: you've participated in preseason games, if you're a ten year veteran,

1221
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: you can make the determination, then I don't have it anymore,

1222
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: because then that's where I have the issue with Vante

1223
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: Davis's decision on Sunday. If you're if you don't think

1224
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: you have it anymore, you can probably tell in a

1225
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: preseason game or two that it's not there anymore. That's

1226
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: when you go to the team and say, look, I

1227
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: appreciate the opportunity. I don't want to leave you guys

1228
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: hanging out to dry in the regular season. I gotta

1229
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: call it a career now. I'm really sorry. And here's

1230
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: what happens. You can see when you get in April

1231
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: and early in the off season, you think, wow, I'm

1232
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: not back there yet. I gotta wait. And then you

1233
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: get to the preseason that April, May, June, July, get

1234
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: four months later, and you see a certain level of

1235
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: progress towards where you're going, and it's not coming fast enough.

1236
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: You gotta know then. I mean, if you're deciding, if

1237
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: you're deciding to that you're going to try and gut

1238
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: it out for the money or for whatever reason, or

1239
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: because you think you really kind of want to give

1240
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: it a shot, that's a huge mistake. That's a huge

1241
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: mistake to go into a season not feeling like you

1242
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: can give him sixteen games or not playing like you're

1243
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: not going to be good enough, and you're gonna do

1244
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: it either just for the money. And then it gets

1245
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: to the point where they're depending on you and they

1246
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: stick you out there and they want you to play well,

1247
00:58:58,120 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: and they expect you to play well, and you know

1248
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: you are not gonna be able to You can't do

1249
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: it anymore, and you don't want to do it anymore.

1250
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: That's an egregious error. And then he compounded it by

1251
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: not finishing the timing game by the well the timing

1252
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: of when he did it, not only because it was halftime,

1253
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: but because at that point in the game, with the

1254
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: Philip Gaines injury, the Bills only had two other healthy cornerbacks.

1255
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you're the third and you left. Listen, Burt Browne.

1256
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: We can go round and around on this. We can

1257
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: discuss and debate all that he is. I don't think

1258
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: the execution of this, I don't think the execution of

1259
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: this decision could have been anywhere. It's inexcusable. What he

1260
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: did was inexcusable. It was It was disrespectful of the game.

1261
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: It was dishonest with his teammates and the coaching staff.

1262
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: It was out of line on so many different levels

1263
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: to do it the way he did it, to get

1264
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: to the point, To get to that point and then

1265
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: pull the rip chord at halftime of a game early

1266
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: in the season, you couldn't have you even even twenty

1267
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: four hours later. And I'm gonna go okay, and I'm

1268
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna go a step further. What made it even worse,

1269
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: if it's possible, is he just up and left and

1270
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: did not face the music. So who got left holding

1271
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: the bag Sean McDermott and his team at his postgame

1272
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: press conference, and all those guys in the locker room

1273
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: that had to answer for him so bad enough. You

1274
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: left them high and dry in the game. You did

1275
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: the same thing in the post game because you just

1276
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: left the stadium. I mean, really, I mean, we're I mean,

1277
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: it's it's cowardly. I hate to say it. It's cowardly.

1278
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Not that it's a minor detail. I will be interested

1279
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: to see the paperwork, because here's the thing. When you

1280
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: retire from you gotta sign. You gotta sign paperwork. You

1281
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: gotta sign I'm retiring. I'm done, because that as a

1282
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: ten year veteran, there are there is vested interest, there's pension,

1283
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: there's union stuff. He's not getting a true season this year,

1284
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: he didn't play it. Here's the thing still has to

1285
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: I want to see the paperwork because here's the thing,

1286
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,439
Speaker 1: you've retired that's it. You don't get any more money.

1287
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: You're that three and a half million. Whatever they're giving

1288
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: him doesn't doesn't happen because he foregoes that he retired,

1289
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: he's done. If he signs the paperwork, that will be

1290
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: the only that would be the only thing he gets.

1291
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Right in this whole scenario. If he tries to sit

1292
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: back and say, hey, they're gonna release me and I'm

1293
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: guaranteed the money, oh my gosh, No, They're just gonna

1294
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: put him on a reserve retired list. That's what the

1295
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna do. They're not gonna release him. Chris

1296
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: Brown Bills inside of Buffalo Bills, that common studio with us.

1297
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot more to talk about from yesterday as

1298
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: opposed to that guy, and let's talk about some of that.

1299
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the other guy. I don't even want

1300
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: to say his name. Yeah right, Josh Allen, I'll say

1301
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: his name. We're asking folks on Twitter today to give

1302
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: him a letter grade for his performance yesterday. Chris some good,

1303
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: some bad. I gave him a They gave him a

1304
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,479
Speaker 1: B minus, C plus, gave a C a C plus.

1305
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: There's not a choice. You have to go with what's

1306
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: on the thing. You gave him a CE. I gave

1307
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: him a bay. I'm the positive guy, all right, and

1308
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: you are. You don't like him, I know, season Yeah,

1309
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: but you know it's a tough call between B C

1310
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: A B because I tell you, there was a lot

1311
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: to be excited about there. Obviously the physical the physical

1312
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: ability showed up in times. And I think what put

1313
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: from a C to a B for me was when

1314
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: he went over and started talking to his defense after

1315
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: they scored that touchdown. Um, I like that. So from Ante,

1316
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: So his intangibles lift him from a C to a

1317
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: B for you, is what you're saying. Yeah, I think so, Yes,

1318
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: that's fair. I think that's fair, you know. And I'm

1319
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: trying what I try to do when I look at

1320
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: a performance like his is also kind of take into

1321
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: account the fact that it was NFL regular season start

1322
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: number one. Yeah, um and yeah, I think he's somewhere

1323
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: between a B and a C, and I would probably

1324
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: lift him into the lower ranges of a B category

1325
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: and give him that, um and right now and on

1326
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: the on the because he didn't let it flip. It's

1327
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: a coin flip, and everybody watching and listening it's at

1328
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: forty seven percent for both of those, and I think

1329
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: that's about right. And the reason I would lift him

1330
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: to a bee Stephen Murph is basically because, take my side,

1331
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: he didn't know I'm gonna I'm gonna make it a

1332
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: little bit different than what your assessment was. You liked

1333
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: his intangibles for me. For me, the reason I lift

1334
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: him from a seat would be is because he didn't

1335
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: let the negative plays affect his play like he didn't.

1336
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,439
Speaker 1: You know, he had some bad plays in the second half.

1337
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: You know, that's when the two picks happened. I think

1338
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: or was one in the first half and one in

1339
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: the second half. I can't think they're both in the

1340
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: second half. So he didn't let those impact his play.

1341
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,919
Speaker 1: He didn't. He wasn't afraid to make plays after those

1342
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: negative plays. If you know what I'm saying. I mean

1343
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: it didn't scare him. On fourth quarter, he sticks it

1344
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: in the end zone in a tight, tight window. You know,

1345
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: some some rookie quarterbacks in their first NFL start are

1346
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: not making that throw after two interceptions. So I think

1347
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: that his his his willingness to still try to make

1348
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: plays after some negative plays, I think is what lifts

1349
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: him from a seat would be for me. Let's get

1350
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: a few calls in on this. How would you grade

1351
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's first NFL start junior in Buffalo on the line, Junior,

1352
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with us. Hello, guys. Well,

1353
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I agree with you, guys. He's a BBC. Great for me.

1354
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I like he gets a be because I believe in

1355
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: the future and I believe with a better line he

1356
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: will be just unstoppable. I really do. Like if think

1357
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: is in time in that pocket, his physical abilities will

1358
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: just take him over. He's got the physical ability, there's

1359
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: no question about that, Chris. And he's got armed talent,

1360
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: which was sorely lacking in a Week one at Baltimore.

1361
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: The armed talent makes a big difference. I think even

1362
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: making plays when the plays don't look like they're there

1363
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: to be made. Sometimes well, just the threat to stretch

1364
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: the field vertically because of his arm talent, I think

1365
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: forces defensive coordinators to call a little bit of a

1366
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: different game, you know. I think we saw in Week

1367
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: one how Baltimore was squatting on the short stuff because

1368
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: they know that Nathan Peterman is a rhythm thrower who

1369
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: usually who usually takes three steps, five steps, and then

1370
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: the ball's coming out, and that affords them to squat

1371
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: on routes. I don't think you can do that with

1372
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen because it could be a hitch and go

1373
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: and then you're getting beat for a sixty yard touchdown.

1374
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: That forces defense is to play you differently. The Bill's

1375
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: offense they can't play him the same way because of

1376
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: that arm talent. So and you know, even though it

1377
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: was underthrown, that fifty seven yard pass play shows up

1378
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: on film, and that's what Minnesota is looking at tomorrow

1379
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: and Wednesday and saying, we got to respect it, even

1380
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: if it's only going to happen two or three times.

1381
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: If we don't respect it, that's two or three long touchdowns,

1382
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: and then we've got a problem. And that The other

1383
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: aspect of this too is I don't I would love

1384
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 1: to know what other defensive coordinators and head coaches think

1385
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,959
Speaker 1: about the talent around him. Certainly the offensive line isn't

1386
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: as good as it was two years ago and not

1387
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: playing as well anyway. And I think what they think

1388
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: of Kelvin Benjamin, what they think is a Jones, what

1389
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: they think of the guys around him that can those

1390
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: guys win on the outside? What do they think of

1391
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Charles Clay, what do they think of Kroom and Logan Thomas.

1392
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: I would love to know what other defensive coordinators think

1393
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: about the weapons around him, And you know, do they

1394
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: help him enough? And I don't you know, in this

1395
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: game yesterday, I don't think they did enough. Now, he

1396
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: did have some throws that were good, and they made

1397
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: some catches for him, and in fact, you know, you

1398
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: can think of the one DeMarco had he made a

1399
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: tough catch for him that turned. It could have been

1400
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: a much bigger play than it was because of the

1401
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: throw of Alan. But I told that Murph this earlier,

1402
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: and Brownie, you can speak to this. You saw what

1403
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: he did talking to the defense on the sidelines, trying

1404
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: to get him pumped up. I told Murph this earlier

1405
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: in the show. One thing I'd love to see from

1406
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Allen is his knowledge that listens. If it's not at

1407
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: this point, as soon it's gonna be. He knows more

1408
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: about this offense than anybody. He's the quarterback. The offensive

1409
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: lineman know what they do, but they don't know what

1410
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: the receivers are doing, and vice versus the receivers and

1411
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman. They know what one guy's doing, not

1412
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: the other. And Josh Allen's gotta know what everybody does.

1413
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: He knows more about this offense than anybody in the huddle,

1414
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: and he's got to look at him in the eye

1415
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: and say, listen, you guys got to be perfect and

1416
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tolerate it if you're not. I'm

1417
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field. I'm not gonna be perfect.

1418
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make throws, I'm gonna make some mistakes. I

1419
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: need you to be perfect, and if you're not gonna be,

1420
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold you accountable. I don't know if he's

1421
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: the guy that can say that just yet. I think

1422
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: he's got he's got to build up a little bit

1423
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: more of a resume, which is why I gave Lashawn

1424
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: McCoy an awful lot of credit last week when he

1425
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 1: said on Wednesday, I gotta tell the guys we gotta

1426
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: make it easy for Josh. Yeah, that's our job to

1427
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: make his life easier with all he's got on his plate.

1428
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: And I gave Lashawn a lot of credit for that.

1429
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: That was more leadership vocally that we've seen out of

1430
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: Lashawn like a long time because because, as I believe,

1431
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Josh isn't in a position yet where he can exercise

1432
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: those demands. Let me tell you something, Yes he is.

1433
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: He is. Why Yes, because he's the starting quarterback. It

1434
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if he is sixteen years old. If he's

1435
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: the guy in there, he can he can do that

1436
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: because you know what the what's the what's what's uh?

1437
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: What's Kelvin Benjamin gonna do? Take Hey, take that quarterback

1438
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: out of here and don't listen to me. Let me

1439
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: give you an example. Brown ahead. I'm telling you right now,

1440
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen goes in there and and John Millard

1441
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: jumps off sides on the play in practice, Josh Allen

1442
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: can turn around and say, get that guy out of

1443
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: my huddle and give me the other guy until this

1444
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: guy gets it right. They'll do it, but don't they

1445
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: will do that if Calvin Benjamin does it now. He

1446
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: may not Hey, he may not be ready to do that.

1447
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: He may not be fit. If doesn't matter, he's the

1448
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: starting it doesn't matter. You can say that in the huddle.

1449
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: All right. That's the way it works. I like to

1450
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:06,959
Speaker 1: think that it may not be smart at the present

1451
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: time to do that. I just gotta think he needs

1452
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: to build up a little more production on the field

1453
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: for that to carry the weight that it'll carry. I'm

1454
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: not saying it's gonna ring hollow if Josh says it,

1455
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: But don't you think it carries a lot more weight

1456
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: if there's a few more plays that he's made for

1457
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: this team. It don't matter. I'm telling you, it don't matter. Okay,

1458
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: you know what. Those guys will stand up and look

1459
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: at each other over on the sideline the huddle, going

1460
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: oh okay, because they listen, here's just this just in

1461
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 1: Josh Allen ain't going anywhere. No, And I think everybody knows.

1462
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that. And on the sidelines, if they say,

1463
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: if that's the standard, he's gonna hold us too, they

1464
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: gotta get there. Well, I'm all for it. If they

1465
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,600
Speaker 1: got work there, I'm all for it. It'll work. And

1466
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's got if he's got it

1467
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: in him, That's why I'm saying i'd like to see that.

1468
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's afraid to I think I'm vocal.

1469
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: I don't think he's afraid to do that at all.

1470
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he knows it's a big I

1471
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: think he knows what the leadership responsibilities of the position are.

1472
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: That was readily apparent to me just sitting down and

1473
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: talking to him for ten minutes. Here's the thing. I've

1474
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:12,640
Speaker 1: seen too many successful quarterbacks, too many successful quarterbacks, and

1475
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: they all have that. They all of them have that

1476
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: thing where they they're not one of these guys are going, okay,

1477
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: I know you jumped offside on third and down. It's okay.

1478
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: And I don't think he's like that. They're all different.

1479
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,799
Speaker 1: There's nobody going getting all huggy feely in the huddle

1480
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: when it's you know, when it's when it's crunch time

1481
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: in a game in a tough season, and they're all

1482
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 1: going it's okay, we're gonna get through this together. It's like, hey,

1483
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: pick it up. You got to have that anger in

1484
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 1: you about what how the guys around you were playing,

1485
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: and you got to hold him to accountable to that.

1486
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen at some point he's gonna get

1487
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: to that. He's not there yet. And that's why I say,

1488
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: when we're talking about what you like and what you'd

1489
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: like to see him do better, that for me, that's

1490
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: it I want him to get to the point where

1491
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't put up with it. You know, when they

1492
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: get in there and you know, some guy on the

1493
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 1: offensive line jumps off sides or and now it's now

1494
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: second and ten. As to the second and five, it

1495
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,679
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. You got to hear about it. That happened.

1496
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 1: You can't as a quarterback, I don't care if it

1497
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: is your first start, that's where you set the tone.

1498
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: It ain't gonna be like that when I'm quarterbacking here,

1499
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: and that's I think that will lift the level of

1500
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 1: this offense a great deal. Brownie Lashawn McCoy. Two things,

1501
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: they're having trouble getting him going and now he's got

1502
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: an injury. Can you talk about those two issues they're separate. Well,

1503
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that the run game still

1504
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: has been able to truly establish itself, not at all. Yeah,

1505
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: because of what the score on the board has been

1506
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: in the first half of games. So I don't know

1507
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: if we have a true assessment of what the run

1508
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: game can be yet. We've seen it in bits and

1509
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: pieces and it hasn't been impressive. I'll completely agree with that,

1510
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,560
Speaker 1: But I don't know if we've seen enough of this

1511
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: because I don't think the run game has truly had

1512
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: a chance to develop within the framework of the play

1513
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: calling because of what the score on the board has

1514
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: been through the first two halves. I mean, what are

1515
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: we talking about here? They've been outscored fifty four to

1516
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: six in the first half. How can a run game

1517
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:22,719
Speaker 1: gain any traction from a play calling perspective alone? Okay,

1518
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 1: to know what you have in your in your run

1519
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: game to put on the field. So you know McCoy

1520
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: touches the ball seven times in the first game, in

1521
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 1: the entire game because the game gets out of whack

1522
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: here this past week, same thing. Um, So, I don't

1523
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,600
Speaker 1: know if we've truly seen what the run game is

1524
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen yet to make an accurate assessment as

1525
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: to whether it's good, bad, or indifferent. Okay, So I

1526
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: want to wait on that. I'm withholding judgment on that.

1527
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 1: That's fair enough. That's fair enough. And then as far

1528
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: as McCoy, if he's not healthy enough to play, is

1529
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: that The second part is that part to night was Ribbs.

1530
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: The report this morning is not broken, Ribs, which is

1531
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: why you typically want to wait a little bit before

1532
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: you Yeah, I'd like to get to Wednesday or Thursday

1533
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: before we twit. Twitter allows you not to wait, though,

1534
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: just go yeah, just say so. Not broken Ribs still

1535
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 1: going to be a problem. I would think they can

1536
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 1: put the biggest flack jack that they want on him

1537
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: and somebody's I will say this, it's hard Ribs. I

1538
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: will say this. I thought Chris Ivory flashed yesterday. Yeah,

1539
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: I thought he flashed in limited action. I mean I

1540
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 1: thought he would be on the field even more than

1541
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: he has been. And I'm gonna say this, if you

1542
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: get to a point where you get to use the

1543
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: running game enough to get an accurate assessment as to

1544
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: what you have, and you don't feel the blocking is

1545
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: good enough, give me the guy that gets more yards

1546
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: after contact. And right now, if you look up and

1547
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: down that roster, it's Chris Ivory. So if we're not

1548
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: at that point yet, because as I said, I'm withholding

1549
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: judgment on just what this run game can be because

1550
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't think we've seen an off of it. But

1551
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,680
Speaker 1: if you get to a point where you feel that

1552
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 1: your running back is not getting those clear, clean lanes

1553
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 1: to exploit, then give me the hammer and let's at

1554
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 1: least get two or three yards in the positive direction

1555
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: with the guy that can get yards after contact yet

1556
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: and that's Ivory. It's all kind of a mood point

1557
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 1: because it's a wait and see. Though, yeah, it's a

1558
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: wait and see. It's kind of a mood point two

1559
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 1: because you're going into Minnesota against a team that um

1560
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 1: by all accounts, that's one of the best defensive best football.

1561
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: It's one of the best defensive in football. You're gonna

1562
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: have a hard time running the football. I think you're

1563
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to look at the guys on your side

1564
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 1: of the ball and say, listen, what gives us our

1565
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: best chance to win this week. It may be throwing

1566
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: the ball sixty five times with a rookie quarterback, or

1567
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:49,440
Speaker 1: it maybe one past defense right or thrown at seventeen

1568
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: times with a rookie quarterback. We don't know. Given the

1569
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: guys they've got, you know, do you go in you

1570
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: got ten offensive linemen on the roster, you know you

1571
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:00,560
Speaker 1: might put nine of them the on field with a

1572
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: quarterback and one back. Let's go. Let's go, because you

1573
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying, though,

1574
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 1: you gotta we don't know what the game. We don't

1575
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: know what the game plan is gonna be. Um, I

1576
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: think you got that's how the NFL works. You're gonna

1577
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 1: look at what they've got, what you've got, where their

1578
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: weakest and there's not many places their week in Minnesota defensively,

1579
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: and you're gonna try and take your shot and then yeah,

1580
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 1: and so you got to take your shot at him

1581
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: that way. So we don't know what this offense is

1582
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: gonna look like against this defense this week, and vice versa.

1583
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: I don't know what their offense is going to look

1584
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: like against our defense, particularly given the fact that we

1585
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: don't even know who's gonna be on the other side

1586
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: of Tradavious White. Um, given the fact that we don't

1587
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: know who's gonna be calling defensive plays, given the fact

1588
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 1: that you know young linebackers is is Tremaine Edmond's going

1589
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 1: to continue to develop? Certainly, he looked way more comfortable

1590
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: every They all looked way more comfortable in the second

1591
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: half than they did in the first half. And how

1592
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: some of us play some of us play calling, some

1593
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: of it was Philip Rivers taking his foot off the gas.

1594
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: But Minnesota's got to figure out what they're gonna do

1595
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: against that defense. And I think the fact that you

1596
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: know Trent Murphy is health, he's going to help him.

1597
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 1: I think he played well. Jerry Hughes played really well

1598
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: the other yesterday. So I think they've got some things

1599
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: to start leaning on defensively. But there's no doubt something's

1600
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: got something's got to change early in the game on

1601
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: both sides of the faster starts. That's what you gotta

1602
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: get off to faster start the ball, not just you

1603
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: can't You can't be oh in thirteen on third down,

1604
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 1: which is where they are in the first half of

1605
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 1: their games so far this season. You can't be oh

1606
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: for one in the red zone in the first half

1607
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 1: of games. You can't be in the red zone once

1608
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: in the first two quarters of your games over the

1609
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: first two weeks so and you can't have two plays

1610
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: if twenty yards or more through four quarters in first

1611
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:55,839
Speaker 1: half action. You need more production and you need more stops.

1612
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with defensive play calling? What

1613
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 1: do you think? What's Sean? What's his movie? It's a

1614
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 1: really tough call because coach Frasier, you know, he is

1615
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: a proven coach in this league. He's coached at the

1616
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 1: head coaching level. He's been a successful coordinator on the

1617
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball before. I thought he did

1618
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,759
Speaker 1: a good job of calling defense last year for this team,

1619
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 1: and believe me, I know it's It was probably not

1620
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: an easy decision for coach McDermott yesterday at halftime to say,

1621
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 1: give me a call sheet. You know what I mean.

1622
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Leslie Fraser is a guy he respects. They

1623
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: go all the way back to Philadelphia as assistants together

1624
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: under Andy Reid. I mean, it's a long and healthy

1625
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: and a relationship based on mutual respect. So this is

1626
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: a difficult thing for coach McDermott and coach Frasier to

1627
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 1: navigate as colleagues. But in the end, you have to

1628
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 1: do what's best for your football team. And I don't

1629
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 1: think anybody's gonna argue that in the second half when

1630
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: coach McDermott was calling the plays defensively, they were better. Yeah,

1631
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: I hate to see him do that. I like though,

1632
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: I like Sean to be involved in the process, and

1633
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: if you're calling defensive signals, you will lose some of

1634
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: the focus I think the rest of the game. Maybe

1635
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: there are coaches that succeed in doing that. I mean

1636
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Sean McVay in La with the Rams, Mike Zimmer calls

1637
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: a defensive plays for Minnesota. Yeah, but even so, I

1638
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,640
Speaker 1: think you have to balance the whole picture, Murph. I

1639
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: get it that it's going to take something away from

1640
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,560
Speaker 1: his total game picture, but if it gives you that

1641
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 1: much of a boost on defense, you gotta right season.

1642
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: We gotta write things here in terms of your first

1643
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: half execution over right right now, it's it's been absent

1644
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: in the first half, not only on the defensive side

1645
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 1: of the ball, on the offensive side of the ball too.

1646
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 1: But there are some mitigating factors on the offensive side

1647
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:47,719
Speaker 1: of the ball. Young quarterbacking, Okay, offensive line that's trying

1648
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 1: to gel. So there at least you can you can

1649
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: chalk up what has happened on the offensive side of

1650
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: the ball through the first two weeks to something that

1651
01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: goes beyond play calling on the defensive side of the ball.

1652
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, not so much, not as much. Hey,

1653
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Chris and I get together on Monday mornings now after

1654

1657
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: about the issues the day before, maybe some of the

1658
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: unsung issues of the day before. We've done two shows.

1659
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:23,840

1669
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: around version of I didn't see it, but I stuck

1670
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: my head in the door and watched you for like

1671
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: five minutes. I saw I had some vision I thought

1672
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 1: was bright. Lights would have made no I saw you.

1673
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:07,360

01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 1: Clearly your garbage time touchdown, Steve. What a nice throw

1687
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: anyway by the quarterback, Josh Allen. In the meantime, you

1688
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:04,640
Speaker 1: were down there in MetLife Stadium for the Dolphins and

1689
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:06,680
Speaker 1: the Jets. Huh Yeah, I wasn't you know. I'm on

1690
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: the sidelines for different CBS games around the league. Yesterday

1691
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,680
Speaker 1: I was in MetLife Stadium for the Dolphins Jets and

1692
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: and I'm see and hear things and sideline sounds is

1693
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 1: presented by bos Bos, the official headphones with the Buffalo Bills.

1694
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 1: While I was on the sidelines of that game, I

1695
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: got a chance to talk to Adam Gays both before

1696
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: the game and at halftime, and he was really into

1697
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: the culture and some of the things that happened in

1698
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: this past year, if with the Miami Dolphins for Bills

1699
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: fans would really reflect what happened in Buffalo last year.

1700
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: This offseason was like Buffalo's offseason last year, and that

1701
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 1: Adam Gase made a concerted effort to change the culture

1702
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: of his locker room. He let in Dominican Sue go away,

1703
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,560
Speaker 1: He let Jarvis Landry go away. They traded jay A

1704
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: Gide during the season last year. And if you look

1705
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: back but the Buffalo Bills off season of a year

1706
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:03,639
Speaker 1: ago before last season, Sammy Watkins was traded, Ron Darby

1707
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: was let go, Marcel Darius was traded three name players.

1708
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: Adam Gase said he has seen the improvement in his

1709
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: team's locker room and it is much more like the

1710
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: playoff team they were two years ago because of the

1711
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 1: departures and additions that they brought in. And you see

1712
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: where some of those players went, where those players went,

1713
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: where they landed, and the fact that the teams they left,

1714
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: even though they were very talented name players with a

1715
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,719
Speaker 1: reputation of being very talented, the teams they left feel

1716
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 1: better about where they're at than they did when those

1717
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: players were on their roster, And I think that's one

1718
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: of the things that I've seen that it really surprised me.

1719
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: When I sat with Adam Gase, he said that, he said,

1720
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 1: when they got Ryan Tannehill back in the huddle after

1721
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: being out with an injury and after having released those

1722
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: players that I mentioned, they're in a much better place

1723
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,759
Speaker 1: now in their locker room. Even though with Jarvis Landry

1724
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 1: and Dominican Sue and Jayagi, you've got three really talented

1725
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 1: players who are contributing to their respective teams. The Dolphins

1726
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: like where they're at now without that time, they're two

1727
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: and oh, how can they not like where they're at

1728
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 1: right right? Tell me about Ryan Tannehill, how he's playing it.

1729
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 1: We came across this stand today. Of course, he missed

1730
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: all last year. Now he's two and oh this year

1731
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: as a starter, Ryan Tannehill has won nine of his

1732
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: last ten NFL starts. Pretty amazing, Steve, and I do

1733
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,799
Speaker 1: not hold him in real high regard, but I respect

1734
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: that nine and one in his last ten starts. Yeah,

1735
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 1: and they started off two and oh this time. Nineteen

1736
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: other season or twenty times in the team's history, they've

1737
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: started two and oh fourteen of those twenty times they

1738
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: made the playoffs. Frank Gore yesterday with Ryan Tannehill throw

1739
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: him the football. He became the fourth all time leading

1740
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: rusher with fourteen thousand, one hundred and twelve yards rushing.

1741
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill was Bill's fans will understand. He's steady. He's

1742
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,560
Speaker 1: the same guy, it seems to be now that he

1743
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: was when he left before the injury. He led that

1744
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: team to a victory in New York. Now, granted it

1745
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: was Sam Darnold across from him that he was competing

1746
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: against his position at quarterback, and Tannehill looked every bit

1747
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 1: the guy that Buffalo Bills fans have come to see.

1748
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: He gets the ball out of his hands, throws the

1749
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:20,560
Speaker 1: football down the field, manages their offense extremely well, and

1750
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: does just enough to give his team a chance to win.

1751
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: He never look at the Dolphins and say, hey, Ryan

1752
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: Tannehill is the reason they won that game. Even yesterday

1753
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: was kind of a defensive effort and their defense stepping

1754
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 1: up and stopping the young quarterback in New York. But

1755
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill does enough to give him a chance. He's

1756
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: never once in a while. He may be the reason

1757
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: they get beat But for the most part, he gives

1758
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: him a chance to win. And in the last ten

1759
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: of the last of his last starts, nine of them

1760
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 1: they have one. Yeah, let me ask you about the

1761
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: young quarterback Sam Darnold forty one three thirty four yards,

1762
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 1: two interceptions, one touchdown. A week ago in Detroit, he

1763
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: was the savior. I mean you saw the New York papers, yea,

1764
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: even over the weekend, right, I saw crazy. They him

1765
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 1: dressed up in something. I forget what it was. It was.

1766
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: It was, oh, yeah, he got right. You know. One

1767
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 1: of the headlines on one of the captain my captain

1768
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: or something. He's like a like a like a I

1769
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: can't remember what. Yeah, how did he look? What did

1770
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: you think? It's Sam Donald. He made some great throws,

1771
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 1: no question question about it. He does a nice job

1772
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: when he gets in the pocket to drop back, keep

1773
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 1: his eyes down the football field. He's a good enough

1774
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: athlete to avoid pressure. Although they sacked him a few times,

1775
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,600
Speaker 1: he seemed to throw the football nice and accurately. The

1776
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: one thing that that Sam Darnold's got going for him

1777
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: is a guy named Quincy and noon Wall. That guy

1778
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: is really good. He's a wide receiver for the Jets

1779
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,560
Speaker 1: and the way he was described to us, and we

1780
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 1: got it on our broadcast yesterday, Rich Gannon said it,

1781
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: the Jets feel like Quincy and Noon Wall is a

1782
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: running back inside a tight ends body, playing wide receiver.

1783
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: He's a weapon and that gives Sam Darnold a guy

1784
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: to go to one of those those Class A Alpha

1785
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers that everybody wants. And Sam Darnold did a

1786
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: lot of really nice things. I think the guys around

1787
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: him need to play better. There was a couple of

1788
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 1: opportunities that they missed. They had to use a time

1789
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: out just before halftime, their last time out, and they

1790
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: ran out of time in a half. He threw a ball.

1791
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 1: They came up on the last play of the first

1792
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: half one yard short of the end zone, which would

1793
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 1: have put that game in doubt. Because they came out

1794
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 1: and really outplayed the Dolphins in the second half. They

1795
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: got a great defensive effort in the second half from

1796
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: the Jet defense, and they couldn't take advantage of it

1797
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 1: because of missed opportunities early in the game. I found

1798
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 1: it on the New York Daily News cover Samilton play

1799
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,640
Speaker 1: on The Hamilton Show. Hamilton's after receiving rave reviews on

1800
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 1: the road, Sam Donald and the Jets bring their hit

1801
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 1: show to the big stage New York. I'd imagine those listen.

1802
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: It's been tamped down a little bit, right. Bills fans

1803
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: can relate to this for Jet fans as well. I

1804
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: mean I said it before the game before they kicked

1805
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: off yesterday. If the Jets finally managed to win to

1806
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: go two and oho and Sam Darnold played well in

1807
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: that win, I didn't happen. They went to one on

1808
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:08,600
Speaker 1: one and Darna played okay. But if they would have

1809
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 1: won that game yesterday and Darna played the way he

1810
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:13,880

Speaker 1: York to Atlanta for Super Bowl fifty three. It would

1812
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: have been non stop. It would They would have been

1813
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,640
Speaker 1: absolutely over the moon because they were convinced that they

1814
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 1: were going. That's how that's how hungry they are in

1815

Speaker 1: up in the next hour and talk a little bit

1823
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: about what went down yesterday and the Bills. One down yesterday, right,

1824
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes continues to go up. Kansas City chief second

1825
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 1: year quarterback yesterday twenty three of twenty eight. So that's

1826
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: eighty two percent completion rate, three hundred twenty six yards,

1827
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: six touchdowns, no interceptions. The Chiefs win at Pittsburgh forty

1828
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 1: two to thirty seven, a quarterback rating of one fifty

1829
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 1: four point eight. Mahomes had four touchdown passes in Week one,

1830
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 1: ten touchdown passes in two weeks, the most by a

1831
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,759
Speaker 1: quarterback in NFL history. Through his team's first two games

1832
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: of the season. Mahomes looks spectacular, Steve, He really does. Yeah,

1833
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 1: and he's Andy Reid is looking like a genius for

1834
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 1: picking him and trading up to get him. I don't know,

1835
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: and I you know, you can always say, gosh, you know,

1836
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: we trade the Bills traded out of that ten spot

1837
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 1: where the Chiefs took him, and he's a you know what,

1838
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 1: Nobody knew Patrick Mahomes was gonna play like this. No,

1839
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 1: plus if he would have if the Bills drafting he

1840
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 1: you always think what if, what should have could have been?

1841
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,640
Speaker 1: If the Bills draft him? Does he sit on the

1842
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 1: bench the whole year with Tyrod Taylor in front of him,

1843
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 1: and does he does turn out the same way? Or

1844
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: is Andy Reid the real genius here and the guy

1845
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 1: who got the most out of this young talented back.

1846
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: I mean all that, I think Andy Reid is a

1847
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 1: genius offens like it. But I also think the Chiefs

1848
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: have have and had a year ago offensive firepower around

1849
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 1: the offense, Travis Kelcey, Tyreek Hill, some other other receivers,

1850
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: the good running back, so they have they had a

1851
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: surrounding cast around him, which makes a difference. But you

1852
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 1: cannot ignore the fact that Mahomes through two weeks and

1853
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: it's only two weeks, so we'll tap the brakes. But

1854
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 1: he's playing better than any other quarterback in the league

1855
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 1: right now. And yeah, the Bills traded out, they moved down,

1856
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 1: got Drudevious White and got the you know, an extra pick,

1857
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's some value on what they got. But

1858
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:49,760
Speaker 1: I understand why people would Yeah, I mean, well, how

1859
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 1: about the other nine teams that picked ahead of him

1860
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 1: that didn't take him either? And I think that the

1861
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 1: interesting thing as well. The last guy to throw for

1862
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 1: six picks or six touchdowns against Pittsburgh Jim Kell. It's

1863
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,280
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Yeah, it's been a long time

1864
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: since any based thrown for six touch Well, it doesn't

1865
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 1: happen every week in the NFL anyway, but to do

1866
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 1: it in Pittsburgh is Mahome is gonna put that in

1867

01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 1: Davis was a healthy scranch for the opener in Baltimore

1897
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:47,559

1898
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,960

1900

Speaker 1: the next couple of hours. Browns announced on Saturday they

01:31:56,720 --> 01:31:58,920
Speaker 1: were finished with Josh Gordon. They talked about releasing him.

1902
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,400

1923
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:02,479
Speaker 1: interested observer to say the least, through the first two

1924
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 1: games of this oh and two starts of the season.

1925

Speaker 1: Longtime Bills veteran center Eric Wood joins us on the

1926
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 1: on the Subway First Day Kindline. I er John Murphy

1927
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:12,760
Speaker 1: and Steve here in Buffalo. How are you hey? Doing good?

1928
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 1: Hey JOHNA, Steve? Thanks for coming on. You went to

1929
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:17,720
Speaker 1: the Baltimore game. You did not attend yet in these game, right,

1930
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:21,320
Speaker 1: but you watched it pretty closely on TV. Yeah, that's correct.

1931
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 1: And what did you think? Give us your overall impression

1932
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: after two games here? You know, it's been a slow

1933
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:29,520
Speaker 1: start for the Bills, and you know that's what all documented.

1934
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 1: But I liked what I saw in the second half yesterday.

1935
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: I think what I saw and heard as McDermott started

1936
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 1: calling the plays on defense, the defense seemed to be

1937
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:42,679
Speaker 1: playing really well in the second half, and the offense

1938
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 1: got going a little bit too. You know. I saw

1939
01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 1: some bright spots from Alan yesterday. Showed off his arm

1940
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:52,680
Speaker 1: a little bit, still a kind of a combination of

1941
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 1: past protection and him holding onto the vall a little bit,

1942
01:33:56,120 --> 01:34:00,559
Speaker 1: which caused some negative plays. But it's seems like they're

1943
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 1: trending up obviously from week one. Yeah, talk a little

1944
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:05,720
Speaker 1: bit about the offensive line play. I mean, I know

1945
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 1: you're more than an interested observer, and you know a

1946
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:10,599
Speaker 1: lot more than most people about what you look at.

1947
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:14,000
Speaker 1: What do you see in the overall improvement of that

1948
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 1: line or do they say the same or how much

1949
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:19,360
Speaker 1: did the Chargers in Baltimore games and those teams have

1950
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 1: to do with the difference in production. Yeah, I think

1951
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 1: they had a better week this week, you know, with

1952
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:31,200
Speaker 1: them getting down early, you know, and happening to throw

1953
01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:33,880
Speaker 1: the ball so much. That's always tough on an offensive line.

1954
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 1: Two young quarterbacks that aren't masking a lot of their problems.

1955
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 1: I used to joke when we had Fitzpatrick, keep you

1956
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball so fast sometimes that the

1957
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: d line would just quit rushing. Well, when you got

1958
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, these guys are just going to tee off

1959
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 1: all day and they're they're trying to pat their stats

1960
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 1: and get sacks, and that's that's kind of what you're seeing.

1961
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,080
Speaker 1: And then anytime you're playing from behind, it can always

1962
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: just be a bad recipe for the offensive line. We

1963
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,680
Speaker 1: want to road grade if we want to established the

1964
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 1: run game, and it's tough when you get down and

1965
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:06,040
Speaker 1: I understand a lot of times you make the bed

1966
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 1: you lay, and you know, if we started games faster

1967
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, we wouldn't be in those situations.

1968
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 1: But it's tough slotting for the old one through two weeks,

1969
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 1: two good defenses they've played. And then you know, obviously

1970
01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 1: playing from behind a lot, getting rid of the ball

1971
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 1: on time, even quickly, is important, isn't it. And you

1972
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 1: mentioned that I thought that was a big factor in

1973
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: some of yesterday's issues. And I wonder what goes through

1974
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 1: a young quarterback's head. And you compared to Ryan Fitzpatrick

1975
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:34,800
Speaker 1: a minute ago, do you think they're waiting for the

1976
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 1: perfect play or do you think they're so school that

1977
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:39,639
Speaker 1: this is your first read, this is your second read.

1978
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 1: Get through your progressions. What would prevent them from getting

1979
01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:45,600
Speaker 1: rid of the ball on time? Do you think? You

1980
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: know a lot of it's recognizing coverages quickly and then

1981
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:51,600
Speaker 1: being able to make a decision and understanding, hey, we

1982
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 1: have this pass play called and we get this coverage,

1983
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:56,519
Speaker 1: this is where I gotta go. Now. The issue comes

1984
01:35:56,560 --> 01:36:00,120
Speaker 1: in because with a young quarterback, especially defense, as the

1985
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:03,240
Speaker 1: coordinators doing everything they can to confuse them at the

1986
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage even more than they might with a

1987
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 1: veteran and um, you know, and and sometimes and it

1988
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:12,720
Speaker 1: goes both ways. When you when you pre read and

1989
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 1: trust trust your instincts a little too much. We've seen

1990
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 1: him from Fitzpatrick at times where he'll throw some bad interceptions,

1991
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 1: which he hasn't done the first couple of weeks, but

1992
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 1: he did some in Buffalo where you pre read the snap,

1993
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 1: throw it fast. Well, you know, a young guy might

1994
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 1: not want to take those types of chances, which you

1995
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 1: know you shouldn't always try to um take those but

1996
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:35,680
Speaker 1: m yeah, So a lot of it's just trusting your eyes,

1997
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 1: getting comfortable within the offense. UM, and I think you'll

1998
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:40,880
Speaker 1: see that as the season goes on, Josh will get

1999
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,120
Speaker 1: rid of the ball faster and faster, and with his

2000
01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:47,200
Speaker 1: arm strength and arm talent and the leadership qualities I'm

2001
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:50,760
Speaker 1: seeing and how smart I'm hearing he is from people

2002
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 1: within the building. Um, you know, I love the trajectory

2003
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 1: of the season for him. Talk a little bit about

2004
01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 1: We talked and Josh Allen said in his team comments

2005
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 1: that the play calling offensively got a little more aggressive,

2006
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 1: as you might imagine in this second half of a

2007
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:09,439
Speaker 1: game they're trailing by so much. What's that mean to

2008
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:12,519
Speaker 1: an offensive line? When when you know that you're gonna

2009
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:14,120
Speaker 1: have to start throwing the football down the field, you're

2010
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna throw it a little more often, you kind of

2011
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:18,479
Speaker 1: kind of get away from the running game. Uh, did

2012
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:20,400
Speaker 1: you what did you notice a little bit in that

2013
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 1: game on that second half about offensive play calling? How

2014
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 1: effected the offensive line and gave Josh Allen a chance

2015
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 1: to show off the arm and the ability that they

2016
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: drafted in for. Yeah, they did a good job of

2017
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:33,600
Speaker 1: pass protecting in the second half, and I think this

2018
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:36,679
Speaker 1: offensive line will improve as they as they play amongst

2019
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 1: each other more. You know, Vlad switched to the other

2020
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 1: side of the line, Royce stepping in Dion as a

2021
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 1: full time starter, and he got dinged up a little

2022
01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 1: bit in the preseason. I think this line will continue

2023
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:50,639
Speaker 1: to progress, and they did get that. Their pass protection

2024
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:53,040
Speaker 1: was improved in the second half and they were able

2025
01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: to give Josh just a little bit more time to

2026
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 1: make some plays down the field. And you know, a

2027
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 1: lot of times you can kind of the other way

2028
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 1: in a game like that. You know, when you're trailing

2029
01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 1: from behind, they're bringing in their pass rushers and they're

2030
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 1: blowing and going every play and it could be extremely tough.

2031
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 1: It was a great sign that the offensive line was

2032
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 1: able to improve their past protection as the game went odds,

2033
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 1: and I like that. Eric. You of course, we're there

2034
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:20,560
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles last November when the Bill struggled to

2035
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 1: protect Nathan Peterman in the first half of that game

2036
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:26,160
Speaker 1: out there. The Chargers are are pretty good team, but

2037
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 1: without Joey Bosa, that that's a big threat that they

2038
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:31,920
Speaker 1: don't have in their in their arsenal. They still got

2039
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 1: pretty good pressure, but man, it would have been really

2040
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:36,720
Speaker 1: tough if Joey Bosa had been there yesterday. I think,

2041
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 1: huh yeah, for sure. I've said it for a couple

2042
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 1: of years now, I think Melvin Ingram is one of

2043
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 1: the most underrated pass rushers in the league. He can

2044
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:47,120
Speaker 1: move laterally so incredibly well, and he's got a really

2045
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 1: high motor, which is, you know, one of the best

2046
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:51,960
Speaker 1: qualities you can have as an edge pass rusher. So

2047
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 1: they still had him, and he's excellent. They had some

2048
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:57,919
Speaker 1: other quality rushers as well, but you're right, Bosa's premier,

2049
01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 1: maybe top five pass rusher in the NFL, so not

2050
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: having him was definitely a factor. But sometimes when you

2051
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:06,679
Speaker 1: have two premier adge rushers, you know what you're getting

2052
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:08,680
Speaker 1: on each play a little bit more than Andy. We

2053
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 1: only got one premier adge rusher. Now, okay, now let's

2054
01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: give some more creative stuff. And you saw that what

2055
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:16,439
Speaker 1: they were doing with Durwin James a little bit and

2056
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 1: a couple of different pressures that got home on the

2057
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,000
Speaker 1: bills yesterday. Those might not have been dialed up if

2058
01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:24,719
Speaker 1: they had their two book and ends out there. Talk

2059
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:26,720
Speaker 1: a little bit about what it means. Now, Now, as

2060
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:28,640
Speaker 1: you've gone through this for a couple of weeks, you're

2061
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 1: starting to get better and you face a defense maybe

2062
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:34,360
Speaker 1: considerably considered the best defense in the league at this point,

2063
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:37,720
Speaker 1: the Mike Minnesota Vikings. How do you start preparing for

2064
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: a team like the Vikings where you know they've got

2065
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,720
Speaker 1: a pass rush, you know they've got a great defensive

2066
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 1: play caller and their head coach Mike Zimmer, and a

2067
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 1: lot of talent up front. What goes? You know, take

2068
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 1: us through that process a little bit. You know, first

2069
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: you got to you know, the week with start off

2070
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 1: and you start looking at their personnel. So for me,

2071
01:39:56,439 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, before the game plans going in, I'm looking

2072
01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:01,960
Speaker 1: at their person now, and they're talented all over the board.

2073
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:06,200
Speaker 1: And I mean from the secondary with Rhodes and Harrison

2074
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 1: Smith and those guys that Anthony Barr and the crew.

2075
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 1: They got a linebacker, and then up front they're extremely talented.

2076
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 1: So when you look, I mean they have talent everywhere.

2077
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 1: You got to walk in on the guys, and then

2078
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,840
Speaker 1: come Wenesday when you get the game plan, then then

2079
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,519
Speaker 1: the confidence starts building. Oh okay, here's some weaknesses within

2080
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 1: the defense. Yeah, they look incredible on paper and their

2081
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 1: personnel is great, but here's how we're going to attack them,

2082
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:30,320
Speaker 1: and here's how we're gonna beat them. It'll just be

2083
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 1: important for those guys to kind of gain some confidence

2084
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 1: from the second half that they played against the Chargers

2085
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:38,400
Speaker 1: and kind of roll it into Minnesota this week, can

2086
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 1: hopefully start a little bit faster and look going into

2087
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 1: the season with a new oc in as many new

2088
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:46,640
Speaker 1: faces as their were on offense, you know, you had

2089
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:48,639
Speaker 1: to assume they're going to be fairly slow to start

2090
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 1: the year. Well, now after getting some confidence after the

2091
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 1: last second half, hopefully they can start rolling that into

2092
01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 1: some early success in games. With Eric Wood, former Bill's

2093
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:02,040
Speaker 1: offensive lineman who who of course has retired, I want

2094
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:04,519
Speaker 1: to get a sense from you about what your routine

2095
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 1: has been like the first couple of weeks. Eric, I'm

2096
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 1: sure it's been a little bit different for you. You

2097
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:10,639
Speaker 1: were in Baltimore right for the opener, in the crowd

2098
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 1: there in Baltimore in that rain storm. Yeah, I'm probably

2099
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a different routine week the week, you know,

2100
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 1: just figuring it all out and figuring out what's next

2101
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah. So the first week, I was in

2102
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:25,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Thursday, Friday, came in with you guys on Friday,

2103
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:28,680
Speaker 1: and then did went to Brian mooremon charity event and

2104
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:30,760
Speaker 1: then did went over to Baltimore for the game, and

2105
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 1: it was fun hanging with friends that Apollos came over

2106
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:36,560
Speaker 1: from Buffalo who were like family to me, and we

2107
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 1: all hung out in Baltimore. It of course, it wasn't

2108
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,840
Speaker 1: the result we wanted, but it was great to see

2109
01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:44,960
Speaker 1: familiar faces. Joe Dallas andres All to the line coach

2110
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,920

2133
01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 1: taking some different game day environments and spend a lot

2134
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,560
Speaker 1: of quality time together because if I get into the

2135
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: media world, as you guys both know, I saw Steve

2136
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 1: on TV yesterday in a different city, it's it's a

2137
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,920
Speaker 1: lot more work. Yeah, and the travel is not as

2138
01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: glamorous as you might make as it makes it seem

2139
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: like when you're going to uh you're flying into Purdue

2140
01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 1: for the weekend and seeing all your old buddies. That's nice. Yeah,

2141
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: I think, Murph, that'll be us one day. We're gonna

2142
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:27,640
Speaker 1: be traveling around retired doing that. If I can't be

2143
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:29,720
Speaker 1: you or I want to be Ryan Fitzpatrick when I

2144
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 1: grow up. What about fits his game so far as

2145
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:35,880
Speaker 1: two games? What do you think? You know, he's playing

2146
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:39,599
Speaker 1: incredible and and he's always been m he's always had

2147
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:42,200
Speaker 1: those hot streaks in him, and he's starting this season

2148
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 1: extremely hot. And he's surrounded by a ton of talent

2149
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,759
Speaker 1: on offense down there, and for him, it's just about,

2150
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: you know, finding the right matchup on each play. He's

2151
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,640
Speaker 1: got Evans at six foot five on one side, and

2152
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: he's got to Sean Jackson, one of the fastest guys

2153
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:57,760
Speaker 1: in the league. On the other side. He's got other

2154
01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 1: quality receivers. He's got how the kid from Alabama at

2155
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 1: tight end in his backups quality as well. So he's

2156
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: got so much talent down there. U, it's just kind

2157
01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:10,519
Speaker 1: of about picking where he wants to go on each

2158
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 1: play and let him fly, which is which is especialty

2159
01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 1: and you guys would get a kick out of So

2160
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 1: we text quite often. We're still good buddies. And he

2161
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 1: shoots me a text right after the game yesterday and

2162
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 1: and I've been thinking, man, that's really quick for Henry

2163
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 1: reaching out into the game. I wonder what's going on.

2164
01:44:29,439 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 1: And he sends me a picture of him in his outfit.

2165
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:34,160
Speaker 1: He said, I'm about the head of my press conference.

2166
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 1: Should I do it? I said, you should absolutely do it,

2167
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:40,920
Speaker 1: And so it's all over and it's funny. You know,

2168
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:43,600
Speaker 1: Fits for a long time in his career. You know,

2169
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:46,439
Speaker 1: everyone knows he's got a bunch of kids, and he's married,

2170
01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:48,880
Speaker 1: and he's funny and he's smart, but he never let

2171
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:52,519
Speaker 1: anybody really into like how goofy he is and how

2172
01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 1: much fun and how loved he is within the locker room.

2173
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: And it shows a lot when Deshaun Jackson sitting that

2174
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 1: fitness press conference without a shirt on, watching him do

2175
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 1: a press conference in his outfit and he's having fun

2176
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 1: with it, you know, that says a lot about him. Yeah,

2177
01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:10,599
Speaker 1: it's I don't know if there maybe nobody in the league,

2178
01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:12,639
Speaker 1: because I don't know if there's anybody in the league

2179
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:15,920
Speaker 1: right now who's played for more teams than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Um,

2180
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 1: nobody who players on all these teams around the league

2181
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 1: root harder for on another team than Fits. I mean, right,

2182
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:24,599
Speaker 1: he's like, uh, he's one of those guys that every

2183
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:27,040
Speaker 1: bed in the league's kind of cheering for, except the

2184
01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: team that's actually playing. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers you're right.

2185
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 1: He's so easily to it, so easy to like, so

2186
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 1: easy to root for, you know. I was with my neighbors, yes,

2187
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 1: and then like, man, he's got a cannon. I'm like,

2188
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 1: he has a good arm. But he puts everything he

2189
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 1: has every throw, and and he rarely will ever slide

2190
01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:48,880
Speaker 1: feet first, and he drives you nuts. And you know,

2191
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:52,160
Speaker 1: he'll never complain about an injury. And he's just he's

2192
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:55,760
Speaker 1: a guy's guy. He's a ton of fun um, you know.

2193
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 1: And then and then he goes home and he's a

2194
01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:01,280
Speaker 1: phenomenal dad, and he's just got the respect of everybody

2195
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 1: in the building when he's on your team. I saw

2196
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 1: that at yesterday Eric. I thought back to fits his

2197
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 1: performance at the Fred Jackson roast when he got up

2198
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:11,760
Speaker 1: on the podium and stripped down to his briefs and

2199
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:14,679
Speaker 1: then wound up dressing up like Fred. He apparently likes

2200
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 1: to dress up hone. He plays dress up us in one. Yeah, Yeah,

2201
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:21,040
Speaker 1: that's that's what we're seeing. One year, one year he

2202
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:23,879
Speaker 1: came in his thread far for Halloween as the facility.

2203
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 1: One day. I mean, he'll he'll he likes that self

2204
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 1: deprecating here for sure. It's amazing. Eric, great to talk

2205
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:32,479
Speaker 1: to you. Thank you for being on the show with

2206
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 1: us here today, and we hope we get a chance

2207
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 1: to stuck again sometime. Absolutely my pleasure, guys. Eric Wood,

2208
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 1: longtime Builds offensive lineman, Pro Bowl offensive lineman joining us

2209
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:44,639
Speaker 1: on the Subway Fresh Digg hot Line presented by Subway Restaurants,

2210
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,479
Speaker 1: proud to be locally owned and operated. We thank Eric

2211
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:50,479
Speaker 1: for joining us. Eric sounds good, right, Oh sure, So

2212
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 1: did you hear the weekend? Yeah, of course he sounds good.

2213
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: He I'm surprised he's up. He'd find a weekend like that,

2214
01:46:56,640 --> 01:47:01,800
Speaker 1: I'd be natal hanging. Yeah, And it's it is fun

2215
01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 1: to hear a different guy's perspective. And you know, he

2216
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 1: said he's going to do some broadcast work, which you

2217
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 1: would anticipate a guy's articulate and intelligent as he is. Plus,

2218
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:13,360
Speaker 1: I've always thought that's offensive Linemen have a great point

2219
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:16,719
Speaker 1: of view about how things are going, particularly upfront, because

2220
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:20,680
Speaker 1: it is difficult to discern exactly what each guy in

2221
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 1: those starting five or on that offensive line that you're

2222
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:25,320
Speaker 1: watching is supposed to do, and they have an ability

2223
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 1: to do that and say, well, he's helping here, but

2224
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:30,240
Speaker 1: his eyes are here that kind of thing, and they

2225
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 1: also get a chance to have a different perspective about

2226
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:36,000
Speaker 1: what the pass rush is all about too. So I

2227
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:38,760
Speaker 1: wish him luck on his broadcast. It's interesting. I was

2228
01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 1: laughing because he got a game on Thanksgiving. There's a

2229
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:47,000
Speaker 1: ton of football played on Thanksgiving. As we all know, well,

2230
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 1: nobody wants to work on Thanksgiving, right, So they're all

2231
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:51,960
Speaker 1: all these outlets that are actually got the rights of

2232
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 1: these games and all their talent, you know, the people

2233
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: that are doing the game. I ain't working on Thanksgiving.

2234
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm going and so they have you know, that's a

2235
01:48:01,320 --> 01:48:03,639
Speaker 1: chance for guys to go in. And the only college game,

2236
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:05,519
Speaker 1: the only college game I've ever done, was on a

2237
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:10,519
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game, And I didn't want to work Thanksgiving, but

2238
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:12,880
Speaker 1: they asked me to do it and I did. Yeah,

2239
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 1: sometimes you're you gotta do it. I really liked and

2240
01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:19,559
Speaker 1: you mentioned it Eric's perspective on the offensive line issues

2241
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:23,479
Speaker 1: and where he saw steps forward improvement from last week

2242
01:48:23,520 --> 01:48:25,439
Speaker 1: to this. I think he's right about that. And he

2243
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:30,000
Speaker 1: also talked about not the problems, but the different situation

2244
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:33,320
Speaker 1: a young quarterback or rookie quarterback might create for an

2245
01:48:33,320 --> 01:48:35,200
Speaker 1: offensive line hanging out of the ball too long, you know,

2246
01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: being reluctant to pull the trigger. I think we saw

2247
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:39,040
Speaker 1: that yesterday. I think they had a lot to do

2248
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 1: with what the five sacks that Josh Allen took in

2249
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:43,240
Speaker 1: the constant pressure he faced he was hanging out of

2250
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 1: it's got to be yeah, Plus a quarterback, it's hard

2251
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:49,840
Speaker 1: to learn to throw the stinking thing away. Yeah, just

2252
01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:53,719
Speaker 1: throw it away. It's a better play. You're gonna get sacked,

2253
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 1: particularly on quick pressure. Just heave it up out of

2254
01:48:57,360 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 1: bounds into the stands, you know, if you can, and

2255
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna think twice about it. It's and I think

2256
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:07,000
Speaker 1: another thing that gives you another perspective about what Eric

2257
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:10,560
Speaker 1: Woods says about Ryan Fitzpatrick. He said, it drives you

2258
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 1: crazy when you see your quarterback break contained and then

2259
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,200
Speaker 1: not slide feet first. Offensive line drives them crazy. They

2260
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:21,400
Speaker 1: don't want get their guy hurt. So yeah, I think

2261
01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:23,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is Obviously he has a lot to learn.

2262
01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 1: Obviously he's playing against a really good pass for us.

2263
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 1: The other day. On one of those interceptions, the one

2264
01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 1: we just saw an MSG, the guy had him around

2265
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 1: the waist. He ran about four or five he's so

2266
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,880
Speaker 1: big and so strong. He ran four or five steps

2267
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:38,000
Speaker 1: with the guy around his waist and then tried to

2268
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 1: make a still tried to make a play. That's when

2269
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:42,519
Speaker 1: when the guy gets you around the waist and you're

2270
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:47,479
Speaker 1: dragging him, that's when that's when the timer has to

2271
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:49,599
Speaker 1: go off and you've got to sling that thing into

2272
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:52,560
Speaker 1: the first row of the seats instead of trying to

2273
01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 1: make something happen. But he's so big and so strong

2274
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 1: and has that ability that he relies on. He's going

2275
01:49:57,240 --> 01:49:58,680
Speaker 1: to try and make a play, and that's something he's

2276
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:04,080
Speaker 1: got to be kind of taught out of. So more

2277
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 1: room for improvement, no question about yeah, and he'll get there.

2278
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 1: What don't you think Josh Allen's first Sorry, give us

2279
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:12,200
Speaker 1: your thought. The phone line's open eight oh three oh

2280
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

2281
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 1: two five fifty. On the tweet sheet, we asked for

2282
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 1: your opinion. How would you great Josh Allen's first start?

2283
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 1: T J. Petrovsky says, C plus it wasn't too much

2284
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:26,599
Speaker 1: for him. Is a lot to learn and improve upon.

2285
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 1: He has the arm, no question, and actual talent around him.

2286
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 1: At some point would be wise C plus and I'm

2287
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:35,280
Speaker 1: perfectly fine with that at this point. That's almost exactly

2288
01:50:35,320 --> 01:50:38,040
Speaker 1: where I am. I'm good with where what Josh did yesterday.

2289
01:50:38,120 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 1: There's room for improvement, as we said, but a C plus,

2290
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:43,599
Speaker 1: you know, better than average, with room to grow, room

2291
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:46,400
Speaker 1: to get better in his way above average. Listen, we've

2292
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:49,519
Speaker 1: seen I mean well, listen, in recent past, we've seen

2293
01:50:49,640 --> 01:50:52,280
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman takeover on his first start as a quarterback.

2294
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:56,960
Speaker 1: How how much better was was Josh than Nate Peterman?

2295
01:50:57,240 --> 01:51:00,439
Speaker 1: You think back to ask against the same team? Yeah,

2296
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:02,000
Speaker 1: do you have to ask? Think about it? And I

2297
01:51:02,080 --> 01:51:04,120
Speaker 1: know Joey Boza wasn't on the field for the Chargers

2298
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 1: and it was a home game, not a road game.

2299
01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 1: But good grief. I mean, that's that's what we're talking

2300
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 1: about here, basically, and that if you hold those team

2301
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 1: two games up beside by side. Do you know why

2302
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:15,559
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the future the enfranchise. That's why he's

2303
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:17,679
Speaker 1: going to get every benefit of the doubt, and that's

2304
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 1: why they're going to invest a lot of reps in

2305
01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: him getting better and they're gonna expect him to get better.

2306
01:51:23,439 --> 01:51:25,800
Speaker 1: Rookie quarterbacks don't play as well as Josh Allen did.

2307
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:28,479
Speaker 1: And just the fact that we've seen the guys in

2308
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:30,760
Speaker 1: the league. Now there's this new wave of quarterbacks with

2309
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:33,439
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. By the way, Patrick Mahomes, think about this,

2310
01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:40,880
Speaker 1: Murph today. Today, Patrick Mahomes turns twenty three. So you

2311
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:44,160
Speaker 1: got Patrick Mahomes, you got Sam Darnold, you got Josh Allen,

2312
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 1: you got Baker Mayfield. You got these guys, all of them.

2313
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:51,920
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield accepted. All of these guys have played well

2314
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:55,679
Speaker 1: above the level that we've seen other rookie quarterbacks play

2315
01:51:56,160 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 1: in the past. And I think a lot of it

2316
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:00,240
Speaker 1: has to do with the fact that the league knew

2317
01:52:00,439 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 1: who they were. That's why they were drafted as high.

2318
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 1: That's why there was all a conversation. They could see

2319
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 1: it coming. And you got to give I don't know,

2320
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:07,600
Speaker 1: the league a little credit for that. I don't know

2321
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:09,720
Speaker 1: you can see it. But I also think it's a

2322
01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 1: little bit of it should be expected of him, and

2323
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:15,479
Speaker 1: they are playing as advertised at this point. Tweaked from

2324
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:18,200
Speaker 1: Tick Naggart when we asked how would you grade Josh

2325
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:20,680
Speaker 1: Allen's first career start, He says he needs to have

2326
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 1: a little more touch on this throws, the DeMarco throw

2327
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 1: being an example. He needs to continue to keep taking

2328
01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:27,679
Speaker 1: shots down the field. I can't wait till he gets

2329
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,439
Speaker 1: real weapons next year. He's got the gun, just missing

2330
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:33,120
Speaker 1: some bullets. He's right more touch on the short passes

2331
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:35,800
Speaker 1: in particular. I saw it. We talked about it during

2332
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:38,439
Speaker 1: training camp in preseason, and it's still there, and I

2333
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:41,559
Speaker 1: think there's it's still a pretty fixable issue that they'll

2334
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:43,680
Speaker 1: have with Josh, you know. And I think there's two

2335
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 1: things thinking I'm when I'm thinking about the way he

2336
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:49,240
Speaker 1: throws those short passes. One is, as a young quarterback,

2337
01:52:49,320 --> 01:52:50,880
Speaker 1: you think, Okay, there it is, I'm gonna take it,

2338
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:52,040
Speaker 1: and he wants to get it to the guy as

2339
01:52:52,160 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 1: quick because he can, so he puts something on it,

2340
01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:56,840
Speaker 1: which is wrong. But it also speaks to the fact

2341
01:52:56,880 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 1: that it takes him that extra half second, quarters second

2342
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:03,599
Speaker 1: whatever to make the decision. And when he finally does

2343
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 1: make the decision to take the check down or the

2344
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 1: short throw, if he would have made the decision quicker,

2345
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:11,719
Speaker 1: he would have realized he's got that window to loft

2346
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:13,840
Speaker 1: it in there and give it that extra tick of

2347
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:18,720
Speaker 1: a second. Because he makes the decision quicker rather than

2348
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:21,200
Speaker 1: trying to get the throw there faster. If you follow

2349
01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:24,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, the throw isn't what's going to get

2350
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:26,559
Speaker 1: the ball there on time. The decision is you got

2351
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:28,920
Speaker 1: to make it quicker and that way you don't have

2352
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:30,840
Speaker 1: to zing it in there to get it there on time.

2353
01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:34,280
Speaker 1: And I think once his mental mental decision making catches

2354
01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:36,360
Speaker 1: up with it, he'll realize he doesn't have to zing

2355
01:53:36,479 --> 01:53:39,040
Speaker 1: that in there on a short pass because the decision

2356
01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 1: quicker gives him the time to do it. Sean McDermott

2357
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,840
Speaker 1: met with the media obviously yesterday. He'll do it again

2358
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:47,840
Speaker 1: today at four o'clock. Among the things he talked about yesterday, though,

2359
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:50,240
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Buffalo Bills talk about taking

2360
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 1: over the play calling for the defense in the second half.

2361
01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:56,639
Speaker 1: Here's what McDermott said, and he was asked a couple

2362
01:53:56,640 --> 01:54:00,720
Speaker 1: of questions about that yesterday. I just felt like we

2363
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: needed a spark, um and uh, that's my background, so um,

2364
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, coach Frader does a really good job um,

2365
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:09,720
Speaker 1: as well as the defensive staff. I just felt like

2366
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:13,160
Speaker 1: we needed to spark for today thing or you gonna

2367
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna evaluate evaluate that and as well as a

2368
01:54:17,160 --> 01:54:20,120
Speaker 1: lot of other things too. What it took over to

2369
01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:23,000
Speaker 1: second half, Um, I don't know if it's why it happened,

2370
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:24,960
Speaker 1: but the defense did play it much better. But what

2371
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:28,120
Speaker 1: was said at half time? What did you change if anything?

2372
01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:30,760
Speaker 1: Because it was a better showing the second half for sure.

2373
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:33,240
Speaker 1: Now I didn't I didn't really change all that much, honestly.

2374
01:54:33,280 --> 01:54:35,520
Speaker 1: I thought the defense played with a lot of energy

2375
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:37,480
Speaker 1: in the second half, and the guys. Give the players credit,

2376
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:40,560
Speaker 1: they battled, UM. And I thought overall the guys battled

2377
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:42,440
Speaker 1: in the second half. It was in a lot of

2378
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:45,040
Speaker 1: ways to your earlier question. Style was almost the tail

2379
01:54:45,080 --> 01:54:46,800
Speaker 1: of two halves, you know. I thought we battled and

2380
01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:49,480
Speaker 1: played some Buffalo bill football at times in the second half,

2381
01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 1: at times not enough still um, But in the first half,

2382
01:54:52,840 --> 01:54:55,720
Speaker 1: no way was that good enough. The defensive issues were

2383
01:54:55,800 --> 01:55:01,040
Speaker 1: results they calling versus just execution. There's it's never one thing. Uh.

2384
01:55:01,320 --> 01:55:04,040
Speaker 1: We were making good calls and uh, and then there's

2385
01:55:04,080 --> 01:55:06,280
Speaker 1: times we could have made some better calls overall, but

2386
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 1: those are things will evaluate. There's there's there's opportunities for

2387
01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:12,000
Speaker 1: us to make plays. We didn't make plays. UM, So

2388
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 1: we all have to do our job better. UM. It's

2389
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:17,720
Speaker 1: never just one one area. So McDermott takes over play

2390
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:19,720
Speaker 1: calling on defense in the second half. I think it'd

2391
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:22,560
Speaker 1: be simplistic to say that's why things got better, but

2392
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:25,120
Speaker 1: it may have been a factor, Steven. It makes me

2393
01:55:25,240 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 1: wonder what's the plan going forward, how they're going to

2394
01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 1: move forward after that. Yeah, it's a great question, and

2395
01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:34,440
Speaker 1: you have to put when you make these stuff, you

2396
01:55:34,520 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 1: put yourself in Sean McDermott's spot. Um. And we don't

2397
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 1: know the ins and outs in the details of his

2398
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 1: relationship with Leslie Frasier, although I know that they're good

2399
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:46,000
Speaker 1: friends and their colleagues. They've known each other for years

2400
01:55:46,040 --> 01:55:49,320
Speaker 1: and years and there's a mutual respect there. Um. Did Sean,

2401
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 1: can you know say, hey, you can call the plays,

2402
01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:56,160
Speaker 1: uh until unless and I won't. I won't take the

2403
01:55:56,200 --> 01:55:58,160
Speaker 1: play calling away from you unless A, B and C

2404
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:01,200
Speaker 1: happens and and Sean's listen, I'm taking the play calling

2405
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:05,880
Speaker 1: this game. And what the conversations were afterward, and what

2406
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:10,720
Speaker 1: Sean could tell Leslie Frasier that would change his outlook

2407
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:16,520
Speaker 1: enough to give him the reins back, so to speak.

2408
01:56:17,520 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 1: Could Sean have it say, listen, here's what I was thinking,

2409
01:56:19,520 --> 01:56:20,880
Speaker 1: here's where I want you to think, Here's what I

2410
01:56:20,960 --> 01:56:23,200
Speaker 1: want you to do in certain situations, that kind of thing.

2411
01:56:23,320 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 1: Think more aggressively here, less aggressively there, bring pressure in

2412
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 1: this situation as opposed to this situation. Those kind of

2413
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:32,360
Speaker 1: things he could talk about to Leslie Fraser, and then

2414
01:56:32,800 --> 01:56:36,080
Speaker 1: Frasier would adjust his play calling a quarteringly and they'd

2415
01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 1: get back on track like they were in the second

2416
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 1: half without Sean McDermott having to take over the reins.

2417
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if that can, if that's possible, but

2418
01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:45,560
Speaker 1: I certainly know that both those guys have a really

2419
01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 1: good handle on their defense, on what their defense can do,

2420
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 1: what the players can do, and what the defense is

2421
01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:53,920
Speaker 1: designed to do. And we'll see if this continues. I

2422
01:56:54,680 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 1: think at this point, though, Murphy, you and I sitting here,

2423
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:00,280
Speaker 1: I think desperate times and desperate measures. I think if

2424
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:02,320
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott needs to take over the play calling for

2425
01:57:02,600 --> 01:57:04,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, I think they're gonna do it.

2426
01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:07,520
Speaker 1: They need to get a win and I need it

2427
01:57:07,560 --> 01:57:09,520
Speaker 1: in the worst way. McDermott, I thought he had really

2428
01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:13,400
Speaker 1: good perspective in at least one of his comments yesterday

2429
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 1: towards the end of his news conference, he was asked

2430
01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:18,000
Speaker 1: about the start to the season so far, right, oh

2431
01:57:18,080 --> 01:57:20,320
Speaker 1: and two, everything that's gone on. You know, a player

2432
01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:25,760
Speaker 1: retires at halftime yesterday, a quarterback switch, horrible day in Baltimore,

2433
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 1: and a rough day yesterday against the Chargers. McDermott was asked,

2434
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:32,080
Speaker 1: is this as poor as starter as you possibly could

2435
01:57:32,080 --> 01:57:34,080
Speaker 1: have been through in terms of the start of a

2436
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:36,080
Speaker 1: season for a football team, and he had good perspective.

2437
01:57:36,120 --> 01:57:39,920
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. Nobody wants to be on two.

2438
01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:44,200
Speaker 1: But it's my job to continue to lead this football

2439
01:57:44,240 --> 01:57:47,560
Speaker 1: team and also in my job to find the positives

2440
01:57:47,560 --> 01:57:49,080
Speaker 1: in there in particularly in that second half, and I

2441
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:51,400
Speaker 1: thought there were some positives that by no means wasn't

2442
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:53,840
Speaker 1: good enough. And you can't, like I mentioned earlier, in

2443
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:56,600
Speaker 1: a dress, you can't dig yourself at twenty eight. You

2444
01:57:56,640 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 1: can't give up twenty eight points in the first half

2445
01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:00,800
Speaker 1: and expect to win. Now. I appreciate the way the

2446
01:58:00,840 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 1: guys stuck with it in battle, and those will be

2447
01:58:03,040 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 1: the guys that you know, continue to stay with us

2448
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:09,240
Speaker 1: and we can learn from that. And we'll learn from

2449
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:12,760
Speaker 1: everything in every part of this football game, including the

2450
01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:15,240
Speaker 1: first half in particular, and then in the second half,

2451
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:18,280
Speaker 1: I thought we had some opportunities with the ball that

2452
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 1: we didn't take advantage of. I think it's good perspective

2453
01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:24,200
Speaker 1: because it indicates where they're at, Steve, and they're you know,

2454
01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:27,040
Speaker 1: their own too, with a lot of season left. But

2455
01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:29,480
Speaker 1: if you listen to McDermott, you know he's talking about

2456
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:31,120
Speaker 1: getting back to work and what he has to do

2457
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:33,400
Speaker 1: to get back to work and the changes that need

2458
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:35,240
Speaker 1: to be made. And I'm confident they're going to get

2459
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 1: on that. They're gonna start today and in the meeting

2460
01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:40,440
Speaker 1: room and then to you know, Wednesday on the practice field. Right,

2461
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:42,840
Speaker 1: it's you pointed it out last week. It's one game

2462
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:44,760
Speaker 1: you'd lose, Madley, you get to the next game. Let's

2463
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 1: go right. Yeah, they don't think most people don't have

2464
01:58:47,480 --> 01:58:50,480
Speaker 1: any I don't understand what those coaches do week in

2465
01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 1: week out, year in year out, with their roster, with

2466
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: the questions they ask themselves, with the things they ask

2467
01:58:55,760 --> 01:59:00,800
Speaker 1: their players, with their ability to adjust the defense, both

2468
01:59:00,880 --> 01:59:03,560
Speaker 1: in large ways and in small ways to get more

2469
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:06,600
Speaker 1: out of it. Uh And sometimes and we've seen this

2470
01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:11,040
Speaker 1: happen where a small change makes all the difference. And

2471
01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:13,520
Speaker 1: then other times where you see a totally Think of

2472
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:15,680
Speaker 1: the offensive line of the Buffalo Bills last year when

2473
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:18,240
Speaker 1: they were struggling through the first half of the season

2474
01:59:18,560 --> 01:59:21,080
Speaker 1: with the zone read concept, they went back switched it

2475
01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:23,720
Speaker 1: over the bye week and had a much more productive

2476
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:27,280
Speaker 1: season from that point on, Lashan McCoy getting over eleven

2477
01:59:27,400 --> 01:59:29,960
Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing. That same kind of thing as possible

2478
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:31,840
Speaker 1: on the defensive side as well, with a with a

2479
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:36,200
Speaker 1: personnel tweak, with a different set of eyes, with one

2480
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:40,800
Speaker 1: adjustment to personnel or to a scheme, to alignment problems,

2481
01:59:40,880 --> 01:59:47,240
Speaker 1: everything to coverage combinations, those little tweaks and scheme changes

2482
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:49,200
Speaker 1: can make all the difference in the world. And that's

2483
01:59:49,240 --> 01:59:54,160
Speaker 1: what the coaches scour the film for. They they bounce

2484
01:59:54,280 --> 01:59:56,800
Speaker 1: things off each other. They call friends in the business

2485
01:59:56,880 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 1: outside the building to ask what they do when you

2486
01:59:59,120 --> 02:00:01,080
Speaker 1: when you encounter the this problem, what you see, what

2487
02:00:01,240 --> 02:00:03,200
Speaker 1: you do, how'd you get out of it? All of

2488
02:00:03,240 --> 02:00:06,200
Speaker 1: that happens on a weekly basis. They do not leave

2489
02:00:06,240 --> 02:00:08,920
Speaker 1: any stone unturned. And you can bet given the problem

2490
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:11,200
Speaker 1: with the fact that this defense is struggled in the

2491
02:00:11,240 --> 02:00:14,400
Speaker 1: first half of these games up until this second half

2492
02:00:14,440 --> 02:00:17,360
Speaker 1: of this season, this last game you can bet that

2493
02:00:17,480 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 1: that's been going on and they're going to continue to

2494
02:00:19,160 --> 02:00:22,280
Speaker 1: do it, so I don't think, and he alluded to it.

2495
02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:26,840
Speaker 1: They're working night and day. The coaches are on trying

2496
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 1: to get the right combination of players and the right

2497
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:31,800
Speaker 1: calls and the right schemes on the field to give

2498
02:00:31,840 --> 02:00:33,760
Speaker 1: them a better chance to win than they've had. Talk

2499
02:00:33,840 --> 02:00:36,600
Speaker 1: more about Josh Shalon about the Bills performance so far

2500
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:38,600
Speaker 1: when we come back and maybe get a chance to

2501
02:00:38,640 --> 02:00:40,520
Speaker 1: get the NFL true and false as well. Come on back.

2502
02:00:40,600 --> 02:00:43,560
Speaker 1: One Bill's Life, presented by Kalida Health from One Bill's

2503
02:00:43,600 --> 02:00:58,760
Speaker 1: Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome Back, One Bill of five.

2504
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes the commercial break conversations are the best, right, I'm

2505
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:05,520
Speaker 1: sorry to reveal that they're not. He just cracked me.

2506
02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:08,320
Speaker 1: They're not for He just cracked me up with his

2507
02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:11,840
Speaker 1: take on Vante Davis, a hot make funny guy. You

2508
02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:18,120
Speaker 1: are funny. Adam Schefter has report out on Lashawn McCoy. Bill.

2509
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:20,600
Speaker 1: This is Schefter tweeting five minutes ago. Bill's running back

2510
02:01:20,680 --> 02:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Lahawn McCoy has cracked rib cartilage, leaving him questionable for

2511
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Sunday's game in Minnesota against the Vikings. Per a source.

2512
02:01:28,560 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 1: Schefter goes on to say McCoy should not miss more

2513
02:01:30,840 --> 02:01:33,680
Speaker 1: than one game. If that McCoy has had this injury

2514
02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:36,160
Speaker 1: before and is not expected to sideline him very long,

2515
02:01:37,080 --> 02:01:39,240
Speaker 1: that qualifies good news. First of all, it's just a report.

2516
02:01:39,560 --> 02:01:42,120
Speaker 1: It's probably more than we'll get from Sean McDermott on

2517
02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:44,840
Speaker 1: the McCoy's injury at four o'clock today. And the thing

2518
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:49,160
Speaker 1: about it too isn't Lashawn has always been one of

2519
02:01:49,200 --> 02:01:52,200
Speaker 1: those guys. If he can go, he's gonna go. And

2520
02:01:52,440 --> 02:01:57,040
Speaker 1: he is available almost all the time. I mean, he

2521
02:01:57,240 --> 02:01:59,200
Speaker 1: never misses for injury, and if he does, it's a

2522
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:01,280
Speaker 1: game here, game him there. He's had bad ankle here

2523
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:03,680
Speaker 1: in Buffalo once where he missed like one or two games,

2524
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:06,680
Speaker 1: like one game at a time. Didn't miss a game

2525
02:02:06,760 --> 02:02:09,560
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, he is. He is available and that's

2526
02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:13,240
Speaker 1: one of his aside from his great you know, his

2527
02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:17,480
Speaker 1: great ability, that's his second greatest abilities that he's always available.

2528
02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:20,240
Speaker 1: And so if he's going to be able to play,

2529
02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:21,920
Speaker 1: he'll be there. I want to take your calls and

2530
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:25,400
Speaker 1: read your tweets. What did you think of Josh Allen's game?

2531
02:02:25,480 --> 02:02:27,080
Speaker 1: Give him a letter grade if you'd like let's take

2532
02:02:27,080 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 1: a few calls here. Stull calling from Michigan. Hello Stu,

2533
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:33,840
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. That's actually Steve guys. Thank you. Okay,

2534
02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:39,960
Speaker 1: so I've got got three Sean McDermott questions. Uh, when

2535
02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:42,680
Speaker 1: I watched the broadcast yesterday, I can't listen to you guys,

2536
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:47,400
Speaker 1: and and I don't normally like listening to TV talent

2537
02:02:47,600 --> 02:02:51,400
Speaker 1: on air. Was there something visibly obvious that Sean McDermott

2538
02:02:51,440 --> 02:02:55,080
Speaker 1: was calling the second half defense? Because otherwise why would

2539
02:02:55,080 --> 02:02:58,080
Speaker 1: he even had to mention that? And you know, it's

2540
02:02:58,080 --> 02:03:01,440
Speaker 1: because it's kind of a shot. Yeah, like it or not,

2541
02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier, Yeah, let me if they if they noticed that. Yeah,

2542
02:03:04,560 --> 02:03:07,280
Speaker 1: they had a shot of McDermott calling on I'm sorry, Murph.

2543
02:03:07,720 --> 02:03:10,160
Speaker 1: They had a shot of McDermott calling the place on

2544
02:03:10,280 --> 02:03:12,840
Speaker 1: the play sheet on the sidelines. He was calling the

2545
02:03:12,880 --> 02:03:15,480
Speaker 1: plays and had the radio as calling into Tremaine Edmonds.

2546
02:03:16,560 --> 02:03:20,640
Speaker 1: I mentioned it all right, the second one. Do you

2547
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:24,120
Speaker 1: think that departure of Davis in the way he did

2548
02:03:25,520 --> 02:03:29,080
Speaker 1: had anything to do with McDermott perhaps and adding to

2549
02:03:29,320 --> 02:03:34,080
Speaker 1: his ire and taking over that play calling. I don't

2550
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:37,879
Speaker 1: see how, Oh you mean, didn't make McDermott more frustrated

2551
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:39,600
Speaker 1: and say, listen, I'm gonna fix this thing and I'm

2552
02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:43,120
Speaker 1: gonna call defensive plays kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, it

2553
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:46,120
Speaker 1: did well. I'm sure well. I don't know that Vonte

2554
02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:52,880
Speaker 1: davis leaving at halftime was as much about was as

2555
02:03:52,920 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 1: much of an emphasis the fact that they gave up

2556
02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:57,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight points in the first half. For all I know,

2557
02:03:57,320 --> 02:04:01,360
Speaker 1: Vonte Davis gonna get benched anyway, that's what that thought happened. Yeah,

2558
02:04:01,480 --> 02:04:04,120
Speaker 1: maybe so. No, I don't think I don't think that

2559
02:04:04,320 --> 02:04:08,200
Speaker 1: added to Sean mcdermot's desire to call plays. I think

2560
02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:09,680
Speaker 1: it had more to do at the twenty eight points

2561
02:04:09,720 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 1: they gave up. I contributed one. What was I thought

2562
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:18,000
Speaker 1: it was really interesting that in mcdermot's press conference he

2563
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:22,880
Speaker 1: mentioned h some manner of value of Josh Allen being

2564
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:27,400
Speaker 1: able to watch Philip Rivers from the sideline. Uh and

2565
02:04:28,640 --> 02:04:31,600
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there is. And Josh Allen's going up

2566
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:35,800
Speaker 1: against the Bill good quarterbacks coming up here. I'm just

2567
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:41,400
Speaker 1: wondering if he thinks that's a replacement for having a

2568
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:46,400
Speaker 1: veteran on the Bill sideline, you know, talking to Allen

2569
02:04:46,480 --> 02:04:49,200
Speaker 1: when he's off field. I just thought it was interested

2570
02:04:49,240 --> 02:04:52,080
Speaker 1: that he would even say, that's about how you watching

2571
02:04:52,120 --> 02:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Yeah, I don't think it's not a substitute,

2572
02:04:56,320 --> 02:04:59,760
Speaker 1: but I it helps. I mean to watch a guy

2573
02:04:59,840 --> 02:05:01,920
Speaker 1: like Philip Rivers. And I've heard other guys say this

2574
02:05:02,080 --> 02:05:05,440
Speaker 1: as well. I heard I'll give you that in a minute.

2575
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:08,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, having being able to watch another quarterback play

2576
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:11,920
Speaker 1: live and in person, standing there watching when it really

2577
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:15,360
Speaker 1: counts does help young quarterbacks. I sat in a production

2578
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:18,440
Speaker 1: meeting with Carson Palmer as a young quarterback, and he

2579
02:05:18,640 --> 02:05:23,600
Speaker 1: watched Peyton Manning play and he said, and I had

2580
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:27,360
Speaker 1: him the next week and he's that just the Bengals

2581
02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:31,240
Speaker 1: had just played Peyton Manning and the Colts, and Carson

2582
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: Palmer sat there and told me I couldn't believe what

2583
02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:36,800
Speaker 1: I was watching when I was watching Peyton Manning goes wheat.

2584
02:05:36,800 --> 02:05:40,120
Speaker 1: And I told our coaching staff at the time, I

2585
02:05:40,160 --> 02:05:43,520
Speaker 1: don't I can't remember who his coaching staff Wasn't you know,

2586
02:05:44,360 --> 02:05:47,720
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, But he said, I told my coaching staff,

2587
02:05:47,760 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 1: and this is a quarterback on another team. I told

2588
02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:52,960
Speaker 1: my coaching staff, we have to do what they're doing.

2589
02:05:53,680 --> 02:05:55,600
Speaker 1: I have to be able to do in my offense.

2590
02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:58,760
Speaker 1: What he's doing with his offense. He has personnel control,

2591
02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:04,360
Speaker 1: play call audible freedom. We need to get to our

2592
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:07,280
Speaker 1: offense to where Peyton Manning has the Colt offense that

2593
02:06:07,440 --> 02:06:10,600
Speaker 1: we played just last Sunday. So yeah, there is some

2594
02:06:10,760 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: of that, And I'm not saying it's a substitute for

2595
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:14,960
Speaker 1: being in the room watching film with the guy all

2596
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:17,320
Speaker 1: through the week and watching him prepare, but it does

2597
02:06:17,440 --> 02:06:19,600
Speaker 1: help because it does put ideas in your head and

2598
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:21,560
Speaker 1: it does make you see how it's supposed to work

2599
02:06:21,880 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 1: when a guy like Philip Rivers is lighten it up

2600
02:06:24,600 --> 02:06:27,040
Speaker 1: like he did on Sunday. It's got from Kennon Oakfield.

2601
02:06:27,040 --> 02:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Ken, you're on the air. Hi, guys, thanks

2602
02:06:29,440 --> 02:06:33,040
Speaker 1: for taking my questions. One my first at two questions

2603
02:06:33,080 --> 02:06:34,760
Speaker 1: for you. The first question is is there an update

2604
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:38,280
Speaker 1: on Taywan Jones as of now? No, I'm a Dermot

2605
02:06:38,320 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 1: feature of the media at four and maybe he'll provide

2606
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:44,040
Speaker 1: an update then, okay. And then my second question is

2607
02:06:45,360 --> 02:06:48,120
Speaker 1: is there is the NFL will taking any action on

2608
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:51,160
Speaker 1: I believe it's a ball of judge who failed to

2609
02:06:51,200 --> 02:06:53,960
Speaker 1: blow the whistle or the you know, blow the play

2610
02:06:54,040 --> 02:06:56,800
Speaker 1: debt on that because you mean clearly when you watch Yo,

2611
02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:58,840
Speaker 1: when the helmet comes off, he looks like he's about

2612
02:06:58,840 --> 02:07:01,080
Speaker 1: ready to motion to play debt, but then he stops

2613
02:07:01,120 --> 02:07:03,520
Speaker 1: and lets it continue. Well, Ken, here's the thing. We

2614
02:07:03,640 --> 02:07:06,600
Speaker 1: just watched that as we were getting ready to talk

2615
02:07:06,640 --> 02:07:08,880
Speaker 1: about this a little bit, and thank you for calling

2616
02:07:09,160 --> 02:07:11,800
Speaker 1: to bring it up. This play. There's a lot going

2617
02:07:11,840 --> 02:07:13,840
Speaker 1: on in the play, and as you watch it live action,

2618
02:07:13,960 --> 02:07:16,280
Speaker 1: yes it comes up, but I'm telling you it's less.

2619
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:18,920
Speaker 1: It's like two and a half ten. It seems like

2620
02:07:19,040 --> 02:07:22,520
Speaker 1: a long time. There's no way. And I thought the

2621
02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:24,400
Speaker 1: same thing you did. I thought, why didn't he blow

2622
02:07:24,480 --> 02:07:27,360
Speaker 1: that dead? It should have been blown dead. But in

2623
02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:30,560
Speaker 1: live action, as I watched it again, there's no way

2624
02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:32,400
Speaker 1: it would have prevented it. He could even if he

2625
02:07:32,440 --> 02:07:36,920
Speaker 1: would have blown it the instant, it might have prevented it.

2626
02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:39,200
Speaker 1: But even then, he couldn't have got the whistle to

2627
02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:45,760
Speaker 1: his mouth almost before the player hit Taiwan Jones. It

2628
02:07:45,880 --> 02:07:47,600
Speaker 1: happens so fast, And I'll tell you what if I'm

2629
02:07:48,120 --> 02:07:50,040
Speaker 1: the only advice you can give to make this play

2630
02:07:50,080 --> 02:07:52,840
Speaker 1: come out better than it did for Taiwan Jones. When

2631
02:07:52,880 --> 02:07:55,280
Speaker 1: he feels his helmet go off, he has got to

2632
02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:58,320
Speaker 1: go down, he has got to hit the ground and

2633
02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:01,880
Speaker 1: just and take his lump because the play is dead automatically.

2634
02:08:02,440 --> 02:08:06,720
Speaker 1: And no, I don't think the official could have done anything.

2635
02:08:07,320 --> 02:08:09,240
Speaker 1: He could have blown his whistle, it wouldn't have made

2636
02:08:09,240 --> 02:08:12,360
Speaker 1: a difference in my opinion. So I saw what you saw.

2637
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:15,120
Speaker 1: I saw the helmet come off. I knew the play

2638
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:17,440
Speaker 1: was supposed to be blown dead. But by the time

2639
02:08:17,520 --> 02:08:19,440
Speaker 1: you could raise your hand to your mouth to put

2640
02:08:19,480 --> 02:08:22,800
Speaker 1: a whistle in, that's when he got hit. So it

2641
02:08:22,960 --> 02:08:25,520
Speaker 1: was a very unfortunate play. There was a lot going

2642
02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:27,560
Speaker 1: on about the guys on the field. I don't think

2643
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:30,320
Speaker 1: realize that it was a muff or a fumble because

2644
02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:33,080
Speaker 1: it hadn't been called one way or the other, and

2645
02:08:33,240 --> 02:08:35,680
Speaker 1: so Taiwan Jones had to scoop it up because if

2646
02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:37,160
Speaker 1: it was a fumble, he had to get it out

2647
02:08:37,200 --> 02:08:39,800
Speaker 1: of the end zone. If it was a muff falling

2648
02:08:39,880 --> 02:08:42,360
Speaker 1: on it would have been fine, but nobody knew that

2649
02:08:42,440 --> 02:08:45,680
Speaker 1: at the time, So it was a really unfortunate play.

2650
02:08:45,840 --> 02:08:48,800
Speaker 1: It's a very rare play when I haven't seen take

2651
02:08:48,880 --> 02:08:53,920
Speaker 1: place maybe ever. But I don't think you can really

2652
02:08:54,040 --> 02:08:55,600
Speaker 1: throw this, and there's a lot of things in that

2653
02:08:55,760 --> 02:08:58,040
Speaker 1: game that the officials didn't do right. But I don't

2654
02:08:58,080 --> 02:09:00,240
Speaker 1: think this can go into that into that pot. So

2655
02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 1: that's my take on it. Squeezing one more called Bill

2656
02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:06,920
Speaker 1: and his cargo ahead. Bill. Yeah, thanks a lot, John,

2657
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:09,320
Speaker 1: And to be uh, I was at the game, and

2658
02:09:09,640 --> 02:09:11,600
Speaker 1: I tell you, I really want to love Josh Allen,

2659
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:13,920
Speaker 1: and I give him an a for his gout, to

2660
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: his effort and the way he wants to play you.

2661
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:18,520
Speaker 1: I love that, But I just felt like I saw

2662
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:21,920
Speaker 1: a lot of inaccurate throws, even completions that were just

2663
02:09:22,120 --> 02:09:26,080
Speaker 1: not the right place. And the other thing is I

2664
02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:32,000
Speaker 1: just wonder just the side thing. He's looking at Tyrod

2665
02:09:32,160 --> 02:09:35,240
Speaker 1: yesterday throwing some beautiful balls, and I know we had

2666
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:37,480
Speaker 1: him make a move away from Tyrod because we were

2667
02:09:37,520 --> 02:09:41,200
Speaker 1: never going to get past a certain level. But my

2668
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:44,240
Speaker 1: even big question is, can you can somebody really get

2669
02:09:44,400 --> 02:09:47,000
Speaker 1: more accurate? I've heard that that's one of the things

2670
02:09:47,080 --> 02:09:51,200
Speaker 1: they can't do. So I'll hang up and listen. Okay, Yeah, yeah,

2671
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:53,720
Speaker 1: you'll get a debate on it, because it's hard. I've

2672
02:09:53,760 --> 02:09:56,680
Speaker 1: had a good friend of mine, Adam Arceletta, who's another

2673
02:09:56,760 --> 02:09:59,000
Speaker 1: CBS football analyst from the booth. He'll say, hey, I

2674
02:09:59,040 --> 02:10:01,280
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever heard of a guy being inaccurate

2675
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:04,440
Speaker 1: in college and becoming accurate, or anybody who is inaccurate

2676
02:10:04,480 --> 02:10:07,920
Speaker 1: and becoming accurate. I don't know if I agree with that.

2677
02:10:07,960 --> 02:10:10,120
Speaker 1: And you'll have other quarterbacks that'll tell you now they

2678
02:10:10,360 --> 02:10:11,640
Speaker 1: can do it. In fact, they're guys that tell you

2679
02:10:11,720 --> 02:10:13,680
Speaker 1: they can become accurate, or the guys who train them

2680
02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:16,360
Speaker 1: they'll tell you they can make them more accurate. And

2681
02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:18,520
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that you know happens

2682
02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:22,480
Speaker 1: is when they're a young quarterback. I don't think anybody

2683
02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:24,960
Speaker 1: starts throwing in its accurate right off the bat. They

2684
02:10:25,040 --> 02:10:27,880
Speaker 1: all teach themselves to be accurate when they're younger, and

2685
02:10:28,120 --> 02:10:30,320
Speaker 1: then by the time they get to the pro level,

2686
02:10:30,920 --> 02:10:32,920
Speaker 1: they're kind of ingrained in their habits. So if you

2687
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:34,760
Speaker 1: can get to a guy who's willing to work hard

2688
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:37,600
Speaker 1: enough to train that out of himself, yeah you can

2689
02:10:37,640 --> 02:10:41,360
Speaker 1: get accurate. It's difficult, but you know it's got to

2690
02:10:41,400 --> 02:10:43,320
Speaker 1: be worth it to the guy. And so yeah, I

2691
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:45,320
Speaker 1: think you will get a debate on some guys where

2692
02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:47,280
Speaker 1: they say, hey, you can't teach them to be accurate

2693
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:49,800
Speaker 1: because at the stage of their life where they actually

2694
02:10:49,880 --> 02:10:52,240
Speaker 1: break into the NFL. It's maybe too late in some

2695
02:10:52,360 --> 02:10:56,160
Speaker 1: people's mind to learn something new. But I've seen some

2696
02:10:56,280 --> 02:10:58,560
Speaker 1: guys coach some pretty bad things out of a guy

2697
02:10:58,600 --> 02:11:00,760
Speaker 1: and make them in a pretty good player. I'm sure

2698
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:02,720
Speaker 1: it can be done. We're back the more One Bill's

Speaker 1: all day. What kind of a grade would you give

2707
02:11:38,160 --> 02:11:41,480
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen, the rookie in his first NFL start.

2708
02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:45,520
Speaker 1: Here's what Chris said For me, The reason I left

2709
02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:47,960
Speaker 1: him from a seat would be is because he didn't

2710
02:11:48,040 --> 02:11:51,840
Speaker 1: let the negative plays affect his play like he didn't.

2711
02:11:52,480 --> 02:11:54,840
Speaker 1: You know, he had some bad plays in the second half,

2712
02:11:54,920 --> 02:11:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, that's when the two picks happened. I think

2713
02:11:56,880 --> 02:11:58,240
Speaker 1: or was one in the first half of one. In

2714
02:11:58,280 --> 02:11:59,640
Speaker 1: the second half, I can't run. I think they're both

2715
02:11:59,640 --> 02:12:02,480
Speaker 1: in the second half. So he didn't let those impact

2716
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:07,560
Speaker 1: his play. He didn't. He wasn't afraid to make plays

2717
02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:09,800
Speaker 1: after those negative plays, if you know what I'm saying.

2718
02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:14,760
Speaker 1: So I think that his his willingness to still try

2719
02:12:14,840 --> 02:12:18,560
Speaker 1: to make plays after some negative plays, I think is

2720
02:12:18,560 --> 02:12:20,240
Speaker 1: what lifts him from a seat would be for me.

2721
02:12:20,880 --> 02:12:23,800
Speaker 1: Chris Brown from Buffalo Bills dot com also on the show. Today,

2722
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:26,920
Speaker 1: we talked with Eric Wood, former Buffalo offensive lineman who

2723
02:12:26,960 --> 02:12:29,560
Speaker 1: watched yesterday's game. He was at the Baltimore game. We

2724
02:12:29,680 --> 02:12:33,160
Speaker 1: could go Sunday. Eric Wood says he sees improvement from

2725
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:37,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offensive line. Here's Eric's comments. Yeah, they

2726
02:12:37,080 --> 02:12:39,120
Speaker 1: did a good job of pass protecting in the second half,

2727
02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:41,640
Speaker 1: and I think this offensive line will improve as they

2728
02:12:41,840 --> 02:12:44,600
Speaker 1: as they play amongst each other more. You know, last

2729
02:12:44,640 --> 02:12:46,879
Speaker 1: switched to the other side of the line, Roy stepping

2730
02:12:46,920 --> 02:12:49,800
Speaker 1: in Dion as a full time starter, and he got

2731
02:12:49,840 --> 02:12:51,800
Speaker 1: singed up a little bit in the preseason. I think

2732
02:12:51,840 --> 02:12:55,280
Speaker 1: this line will continue to progress, and they did get

2733
02:12:55,320 --> 02:12:58,720
Speaker 1: their past protection was improved in the second half and

2734
02:12:58,760 --> 02:13:00,680
Speaker 1: they were able to get Josh a little bit more

2735
02:13:00,720 --> 02:13:04,160
Speaker 1: time to make some plays down the field, and you

2736
02:13:04,240 --> 02:13:06,120
Speaker 1: know a lot of times it can kind of go

2737
02:13:06,200 --> 02:13:07,960
Speaker 1: to the other way in a game like that. You know,

2738
02:13:08,040 --> 02:13:10,960
Speaker 1: when you're trailing from behind, they're bringing in their pass

2739
02:13:11,040 --> 02:13:13,400
Speaker 1: rushers and they're flowing and going every play and it

2740
02:13:13,480 --> 02:13:16,000
Speaker 1: could be extremely tough. It was a great sign that

2741
02:13:16,080 --> 02:13:18,680
Speaker 1: the offensive line was able to approve their fast protection

2742
02:13:18,720 --> 02:13:21,840
Speaker 1: in the game went odd and from Eric Wood. Earlier today,

2743
02:13:22,120 --> 02:13:25,120
Speaker 1: heym Sean McDermott meets some media at four just about

2744

2745
02:13:28,080 --> 02:13:29,880
Speaker 1: and what's he gonna do with corner and who's calling

2746
02:13:29,960 --> 02:13:31,840
Speaker 1: defensive plays. There's a lot I don't know how many

2747
02:13:31,880 --> 02:13:34,080
Speaker 1: of those questions I'll answer, but it'll be asked them all,

2748
02:13:34,080 --> 02:13:37,000
