1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tester who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: the strated here of normalcy. Sean, how how surprised were

5
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: you that it just appeared your team was so unready

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: to play? And that isn't characteristic of a Sean McDermott team.

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: To get your thoughts on penalties, field position and turnovers,

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: I mean, did that pretty much spell it out? Might

9
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: be excuses, but not having trade Trade White out there

10
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: and Matt Milano. How much of a factor did those

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: missing players play in this game? You so capitalize off

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: the mistakes that was made and what's to be learned

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: from all of his coaches? We just gotta do a

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: job better down jumps over a man, dive forward, Yes

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: it is jump Buffalo first down and the Bills cashing

16
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: on two plays to take another touchdown. Cruisers into the end.

17
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: June that she's just about do it. Dots and knocks

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: got open jot Chevin pro on the play. Hoo is metro?

19
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Are we ready for some football? Oh my god, somebody

20
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: got me a helmet. I'm ready to run through something

21
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: holy mackerel. Oh yeah, it's Monday Night football and we

22
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: are serving as your extended pregame show here today on

23
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Football Monday. As essentially half of Erie County

24
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: has descended on Nashville and checking out your Twitter feed

25
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: about all this. Oh my gosh, I wish I was there.

26
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: I gotta say, I believe if social media is any indication, okay,

27
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: from the shots in the aisles on the airplanes to

28
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: the bar scene, right, they're gonna be more fans there

29
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: than the last time, and right right, I don't think.

30
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I was there in twenty nineteen and it

31
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: was probably twenty percent Bills fans. Last year we didn't travel,

32
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: as we know, we're still not traveling. And I'm just

33
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: going off social media indications here, but I think there

34
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: are going to be more. We might push it to

35
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: thirty percent bills fans too. Yeah, I know this, I

36
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: know some I've heard some Bills fans went down like Thursday. Yea,

37
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: my neighbors left Friday morning and that kind of that

38
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: came back yesterday. They were there for the scene, not

39
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: the game. They can't get ticket they you know, they

40
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: want to get off for work. They'll come back. They

41
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: came back yesterday. But everybody's working remotely these days. Anyway,

42
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: you can work from down there today. You can put

43
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: it in a full day today from your hotel room

44
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Why not. Yeah? Absolutely. Uh. Probably the most

45
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: enjoyable tweet that I saw it was from a Nashville

46
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: bar owner who said, thanks Bill's Mafia for paying my

47
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: bills for this entire month. Yeah, that's how much beer

48
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: was consumed. Scene was unbelievable on social media. It was

49
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: absolutely off the off the hook, and um, even out

50
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: in the streets. Um, there was you know, there was

51
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: pictures of just seas of Bills, Blue and Red taking

52
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: over the dang town. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure downtown

53
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: Nashville was all about it. I mean that's you gotta

54
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: know that pumps in umpteen millions of dollars into that

55
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: into that joint and Bills fans it was. Yeah. Once

56
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: somebody said that they got on the flane and the

57
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: pilot comes over the loudspeaker he says, you know it

58
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: does all this stuff. We're gonna and by the way,

59
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia mount up and O de Kyle brand right,

60
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: So um, it's it's gonna be a great scene, um theory,

61
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: hopefully and theoretically and for Bills fans, we're all hoping

62
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be as you heard there at the open.

63
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: The show is going to be a different outcome than

64
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: it was a year ago. And we've been down that

65
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: road where the Bills. You know today, this White didn't play,

66
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Levy Wallace didn't play, Matt Mallano didn't play, starlotu Le

67
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: didn't play. You know, you're down the list. Um, it's

68
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: four starters by the way of guys who were not

69
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: available for that game, and the fact that the game,

70
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: the game schedule was a huge pump fake to the Bills,

71
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: a triple pump fake went from Sunday afternoon at one

72
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: to well, maybe maybe it'll be a night game on Sunday,

73
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: and then is the way we could move it to

74
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: Monday night? And then it's like, you know what, you're

75
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: not gonna play Tennessee after all, you're gonna play, go

76
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: ahead and play Kansas City on Thursday, and we're gonna

77
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: do it that way because the Titans aren't going to

78
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: be able to do it. He said, no, what, you

79
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: know what, we are going to play the Titans, and

80
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: he's gonna happen on Tuesday. All that happened over the

81
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: course of the seven days bleeding up to and it

82
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: didn't end until Sunday, late afternoon, two days before the game,

83
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: where they actually went from playing the Chiefs on Thursday

84
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: to the back to playing the Titans on Monday or Tuesday. Meanwhile,

85
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: the Titans were just wanted to get out of jail

86
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: free card which the league gave them and give them

87
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: the game, said okay, you can do it on Tuesday.

88
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: They made it happen, got all their guys back, or

89
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: most of their guys back. There were some guys that

90
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: were out on of COVID and that kind of thing.

91
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: But you know, it was a game that nobody wanted

92
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: to play except the Titans, and it looked like that.

93
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: So the Bills go down and get beat forty two sixteen.

94
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: And you could see from the intro there of the

95
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: people watching MSGUN here any radio listeners you could hear

96
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: in Sean McDermott's voice or we got to do our

97
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: job better. Yeah. Yeah. He was not a happy camper

98
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: after that game, wasting before the game was over, and

99
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: not just that Titans. Titans were pretty happy they won

100
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: that game and let everybody know it, so um it was.

101
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: There's some bulletin board material there. And the Bills walk

102
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: into this game this year without a single guy on

103
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: the injury report, and and in case you missed it,

104
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: and a chip on her shoulder. A. J. Brown got

105
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: added to the injury report on Sunday with an illness,

106
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: so he has listed as questionable now for the game,

107
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: just added on Sunday, so we'll have to see where

108
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: that goes. They will not have starting cornerback Christian Fulton either,

109
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: and they're going to be relying heavily on some inexperienced

110
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: corners tonight with Fulton out. They have Breon Bordinger's who's

111
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: a veteran player and maybe he gets the start, but

112
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley may see some time. The rookie first round

113
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: pick that they have, who's immensely talented but is terribly inexperienced,

114
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: and he was dealing with an injury as well. I

115
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: think that this week x's and knows wise, the big

116
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: X factor for the Bills walking into this on the

117
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: as far as the Tennessee side of things, is the

118
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: inclusion of Julio Jones into the offense. You got Derrick Henry,

119
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: you got Ryan Tannehill. The Bills play these guys once

120
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: a year half for four years straight. They know this team,

121
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: they know what they do, and they know their mindset.

122
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is a big X factor. They had a J.

123
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Brown last year, great player. Add Julio into that mix.

124
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Those guys give you pause because they're really, really good

125
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: and they haven't been playing together much, so it's not

126
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: like you've got film on them. They don't have John U.

127
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: Smith on the Titans anymore. He's now he's now a

128
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: New England Patriot. So um, yeah, it's an unknown commodity

129
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: because of the way their season has unfolded and how

130
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: little those guys have played together. Now you tell, you know,

131
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: if A. J. Brown is injured or sick or whatever,

132
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: you know it's good for the Bills, no question about it.

133
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: You're not as good when you don't have your best players.

134
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that plays out. An illness. I'm

135
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: thinking that he'll be all right. He'll be all right,

136
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: unless unless it's the COVID. But yeah, I think, yeah,

137
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing that gives me pause about this game.

138
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna be able to move the ball on

139
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: these guys. I think with Josh and this running game

140
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: and the memory that they have of the game last year, Yeah,

141
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna be I think the Bills are gonna

142
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: come and highly motivated. This is like getting a chance.

143
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: To me, it's like getting another chance to play the

144
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals after the Hail Murray pass. Yeah, they're going

145
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: to remember that. Well. Yeah, and they said all the

146
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: right things this week. They dismissed it. They were asked

147
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: about it, but they if they put a whooping on

148
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: this team, you'll probably hear a little bit more about it.

149
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: After about it. They'll be there going, yeah, this one

150
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: meant a little something more to us because of all

151
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: the things that Steve already laid out. Not to mention

152
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: the fact that the Titans weren't shy or I shouldn't

153
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: say the Titans as a whole, but certain players. Taylor

154
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: Lawan wasn't shy about rubbing it in after the game

155
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: was over. Well, you already beat the team. Yeah, I

156
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: mean you already beat the team by twenty six points,

157
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: and the night went the wrong way in a hurry.

158
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: You know, ball tips off John Brown's hand, It gets

159
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: picked off. It's going the other way. They just were

160
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: a multitude of things that just didn't go Buffalo's way.

161
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: But I agree with Steve just in terms of their

162
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: weekly routine, and we know how much Sean McDermott is

163
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: about routine, keeping things consistent week after week after week.

164
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: There were things that were out of their control that

165
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: disrupted that routine, disrupted their weekly mindset for an anticipated opponent.

166
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: It switched three times, as Steve said, and I think

167
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: it knocked them off of their their usual routine and

168
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: mental preparation for an opponent. And I think we saw

169
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: that on the field to some degree. Not to mention

170
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: the fact that they were without four guys who were

171
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: going to start on their defense tonight, Star Latoula, Jordavious White,

172
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, and Levi Wallace. So and last year they had,

173
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, Trent Murphy was playing a lot of snaps

174
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: last year, and it was it was a different group

175
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: up front. Now you've got Rousseau, Lotulae at Oliver, Jerry Hughes,

176
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: you got Boogie Basham had Mario Addison. Addison was there

177
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: last year. But I just think this group's playing so

178
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: much better upfront than they did a year ago, and

179
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: it looks like Matt Milano is going to be going

180
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: to be excuse me, one hundred percent, which will make

181
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: a difference for this club. You'll have your secondary playing

182
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: at a high level. Yeah, there's just a lot of

183
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: things different, and we always say it and you shouldn't

184
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: be we shouldn't be surprised. But it's a different crew,

185
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be a different game, and the Titans

186
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: are a different team too, So we'll see how it

187
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: plays out. But you gotta like the Bill's chances going

188
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: in here tonight with the motivation and knowing that they're

189
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: going to show up and show up in a big way. So,

190
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, A J. Brown added to the Titans

191
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: injury report as questionable due to an illness, he was

192
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: downgraded to questionable and while he may recover from whatever

193
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: illness it is to suit up and play tonight, the

194
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: other thing he said this week was very telling. He's

195
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: had a sore hamstring, as you know. And we talked

196
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: to Toront Davenport, the ESPN NFL Nation beat reporter for

197
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: the Titans, and he said, while A J. Brown has

198
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: been playing, he still has not looked right. A J.

199
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: Brown revealed to the Titans media this week that the

200
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,479
Speaker 1: Titans are not going to give him a full compliment

201
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: of reps, workload, playtime percentage, whatever you want to call it.

202
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: He's not going to get a full workload of snaps

203
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: until week ten because they don't want to overtax his hamstring.

204
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: So here's a guy who's going to be in the

205
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: lineup in fits and starts at best, and Julio Jones

206
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: looks like he's good to go, So I would anticipate

207
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: Julio is going to play even more than a J.

208
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: Brown will, And a J. Brown just does not From

209
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: the film that I've watched in the last couple of weeks,

210
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: he does not look like the explosive behemoth that he

211
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: usually is. And when you have a hamstring injury, that's

212
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: something that it can rob you of. That's a little

213
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: different than and you think about these teams and everybody

214
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: heals up differently and all that. The philosophy is different, obviously,

215
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not I'm not gonna I'm just saying hypothetically,

216
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: to me, the Bills are very different than handle their injuries,

217
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: very different than some other teams do. For instance, they

218
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: don't let a guy go and have a snap, they

219
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: sit him down, They sit him. They see these guys

220
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: all the other ways. Matt Milano sits and the Titans

221
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: they're saying, listen, we're gonna get out of what we

222
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: can get out of him, because you know, we gotta

223
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: nurse this thing. At maybe week ten, we'll have one

224
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent. What well, as we were talking about late

225
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: last week, Steve, you got Taylor Lauan, the left tackle

226
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: who's got a toe injury, and they have him gutting

227
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: it out every week. He'll come out for a series,

228
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: kind of rest the thing for a little bit, and

229
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: they'll come real, rotate back in play another series. They're

230
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: left guard. Saffold's got a similar problem. He's got an

231
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: injury that he's trying to play through. He's not one

232
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: hundred percent. He'll be in for two series, out for

233
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: a series, in for the next possession. They just try

234
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: to push these guys through it. Yeah, And I just

235
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: think it's a very archachaic ways in this day in

236
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: age of the NFL to handle injuries. It's it's old school.

237
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: And and I get it too that some of it

238
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: has to do with the confidence you're having the guys

239
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: behind him, Like, you don't think you can win with

240
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: the guys behind him. And if you have like a

241
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: tailor to one and to Julio Jones or or an

242
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: AJ Brown and another guy, you got three guys that

243
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: are that you want to sit down all at once.

244
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: You think you just don't have the confidence you can win. Um,

245
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: that's when you start hedging your bets and saying, Okay,

246
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: let's get a little bit out of this guy, a

247
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: little bit out of that guy, and that kind of thing. Um,

248
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: it's a different way of handling it. Um, the bills,

249
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: you say what you want. They're walking into this game uninjured,

250
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: and it's not like they haven't had injuries up to

251
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: this point of this y. Yeah, I mean Taiwan Jones

252
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: was a surprise. He really didn't practice until Friday, all

253
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden was a full participant, and you know,

254
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: we're all expecting him to be questionable with a hamstring,

255
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: and it's like he's good, good to go. Yeah, you know,

256
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: and Milana was it all week good to go. I

257
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: think the limited designation is there because I don't think

258
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: they're pushing him in practice to go the full practice.

259
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: Let's just do a little bit at a time. Here,

260
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: maybe he did it, you know, maybe he got half

261
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: the reps on Wednesday and they got sixty five percent

262
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: of the reps on Thursday. Maybe he got seventy five

263
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: percent of the reps on Friday. I mean, I'm just guessing,

264
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: but I think they just as as Steve pointed out,

265
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: they sit guys when they're injured, they don't take any chances,

266
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: and then they ease them back in when they do

267
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: return to the field. It's not like, all right, you're

268
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: back on the field, get go get him right. It's

269
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: and it's even even when they you know, finger quotes

270
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: one hundred percent after the injury, they still got to

271
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: earn their way back on the field. And the depth

272
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: of this club makes it easier to like, okay, let's

273
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: just do it. You know, we got a guy, you know,

274
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown. Let's you're in you know, or um what

275
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: you know anything else? Mammali aj Brown, A J. Klein,

276
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: You're in. You're in for a couple of weeks. You

277
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: did it last year're gonna do it again. Here we go.

278
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: They trust their reserves. Cam Lewis, you know, or you know,

279
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: all these guys whoever gets hurt. Okay, you know, Mike

280
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: who was it? Poyer was out, Poyer out, Jikwan Johnson in,

281
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: Jikuwan Johnson in, and it was a win. So the

282
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: depth does make it easier for a team to say, Okay,

283
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: let's shut the guy down for a week or two

284
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: until he gets one hundred percent so we can have

285
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: him back. But to me, if you put a guy

286
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: out there who's not completely ready, like with a hamstring,

287
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: you gotta snap count on him and all that, it's

288
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: like you're trying to beat somebody with your hand tied

289
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: behind your back. Not only that, because I'm sure you've

290
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: played hurt, and you know I had had a much

291
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: more abbreviated athletic career than you did, but I've played hurt.

292
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's hard not to think about the injury

293
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: when you're playing. And with all that, you've got to

294
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: have straight in your head. Playing football where plays are

295
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: over in a matter of five six seconds, you can't

296
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: have this occupying any part of your brain power when

297
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to execute in the snap of a finger

298
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: in a football game at that level, you just can't

299
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, it's it's a it's a lot to ask,

300
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: and you know it's human nature. It's going to be

301
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: on your mind, right. I can't I can't tell you

302
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: how impressive it is the history and the the program

303
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: that the bills are put together here. I don't know

304
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: what it is. I don't know the ins and outs

305
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: of it. I don't know what the philosophies accepted what

306
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: we've been able to observe. When a guy's heard, he

307
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: doesn't play, yeah, period, and he doesn't come back until

308
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: he's ready to play and go until we say he's read,

309
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: until we until we say until well, not only that,

310
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: as we say, but like we're conservative because you get

311
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: a team like Tennessee, it's like, ah, he's good enough,

312
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna let him play, go ahead and play. The

313
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: bills are just the opposite of that. You get a

314
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: play when you convince us you're gonna play the way

315
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: you can not halfway and we don't want to activate

316
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: you and have you have this hamstring and all of

317
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, halfway through the second quarter, you're out for

318
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: three weeks. And that's my next point because taking that approach,

319
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: you say, well, what's the ultimate benefit. You have to

320
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: wait longer to get him back. Yeah, but you also

321
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: reduce the risk of re injury, right, And I think

322
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 1: the Bill's athletic training department, along with their medical staff,

323
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: have proven themselves in that area, because it's very, very

324
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: very rare to see a player come off of injury

325
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: and then get reinjured again with the same injury. It's

326
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: very rare here in the McDermott era, right. So you know,

327
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: you sit here and you know that they're thinking about

328
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: these guys that are hurting. It's just it just seems

329
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: like a better way to do it. And I know

330
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: that it's really hard when you're in a competitive atmosphere

331
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: to have your best guy sitting out with what maybe

332
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, a hand, you know, a hangnail or something,

333
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: you know, something not serious. But to get him one

334
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: hundred percent and have him thrown back in there, that

335
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: goes a long way towards the guys around him. Plus

336
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: it gives guys around him opportunities. And this is a

337
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: club that is always trying to give guys opportunities and

338
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: rewards for working hard. So it all meshes together very

339
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: very nicely. But while I don't know the ins and

340
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: outs of how they do it behind the scenes and

341
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: what they give these guys and the I do know

342
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: that it's a fully manned recovery program in this building,

343
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: and I don't know that every other team in the

344
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: league has the amount of people and staff that are

345
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: committed to massages, electric stem cryo chambers, red LFE, all

346
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: the I mean, there's a there's a whole slew, a

347
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: menu of recovery protocols, and it's right in the building.

348
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: That's not just it's not just the guy making twelve

349
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: or fifteen million bucks a year who can do this stuff.

350
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: You know, he hires his own outside people to do

351
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: it in his own right Now, every guy on the

352
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: roster has access to that, and that that's different. That's different.

353
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of injuries, the Browns are adding injuries to the

354
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: insulting loss at the hands of the Cardinals yesterday. Kevin

355
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: Stefanski had his Monday press conference zoom Call and confirmed

356
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: that running back Kareem Hunt, who left yesterday's game with

357
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: a calf injury, is going to miss several weeks. He

358
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: also said linebacker slash dB Jeremiah husu Koramoa is out

359
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: four to six weeks with a high ankle spring and

360
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: the Browns Steve and I were talking about this before

361
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: we went on the air. I can't. I can't figure

362
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: out what the Browns are because on paper, they are

363
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: one of the most talented rosters in the entire league,

364
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: like far and away, one of the top three or

365
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: four rosters in terms of talent, and for some reason,

366
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: it just has not come together in the way that

367
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: I anticipated it would. And it's not because they can't

368
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: match up with teams. I don't know that. I feel

369
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: like there's a leadership void there as to why they

370
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: can't all get on track and pull on the same

371
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: rope all at once. But there seems to be a

372
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: disconnect there. Whether it's offense, defense, or special teams. It's

373
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: hard to get a handle on it. And it's dropped

374
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: this team. What are they three and three? Now? No,

375
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: they're not three and three? Are they? So? Yeah, I

376
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: can't even believe they're that. Wow, the Browns are. They're

377
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: three and three, three and three, man, It's just I

378
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: know they've got a tough schedule. They're playing in the

379
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: NFC West this year, you know, and Cincinnati's better in

380
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: their division. Baltimore is still Baltimore, But I mean that's

381
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has pulled even with them, and they looked like

382
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: they were left for dead. They win a game in

383
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: overtime last night against Seattle, who can't really stop anybody,

384
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: and they're playing with Gino Smith. Now that was Arizona

385
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: is pretty good. I mean, Arizona won that game, Steve

386
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: without their best pass rusher, Chandler Jones. They were without

387
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: their starting center and without their head coach who has COVID. Yeah,

388
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: and sitting at home in Arizona. YEA. Kyler Murray's a

389
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: big problem for defenses because you cannot get a hand

390
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: on him. He's a he's he's a little guy. He's

391
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: a little guy. He's like five eight, um he's he's

392
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: as short as I am. But he's like a jack rabbit.

393
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: You can't catch that guy. He's thick and very quick,

394
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: really explosive and can out run everybody on the field.

395
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: He's really good, and he's got the ball in his

396
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: hands all the time. He's he's got a live arm,

397
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: so he's all of that. Um He's he's a real problem.

398
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: He's he's like a Lamar Jackson problem, except I think

399
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: he throws the ball better than Lamar. Lamar is probably

400
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: a bigger physical, more physical runner obviously. Uh. We were

401
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: having this conversation before the show. You know, he talked

402
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: about going around the league like Cleveland is underperforming, Arizona

403
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: is up there. Baltimore looked like they were going this

404
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: last they beat the cham the Chargers look ordinary, ordinary,

405
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: And the Chargers were one of those teams like last week.

406
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: They were like, wow, the Chargers are up there. And

407
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, Baltimore punched him in the

408
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: face and they turtled. The Chargers looked soft in this game.

409
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: They really did, look at you. That's you know what.

410
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: I hate to say it because I like Herbert, I

411
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: like that offense. But they had to bow up in

412
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: this game, and they couldn't do it. They could not

413
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: do it. They could not match the physicality of the Ravens,

414
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: and they got their butts handed to them. Yeah they

415
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: did it was it was an embarrassing loss for for

416
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They were never in it, never in it,

417
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: never in it. And the Ravens absolutely just you're right.

418
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: The Ravens big Brotherton, I mean, they had him in

419
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: a headlock and gave him newgies all day. They were

420
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: just it wasn't even and I gotta say I've I've

421
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: been a detractor of Lamar Jackson in terms of throwing

422
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: outside the numbers with consistency, you know, hitting those lower

423
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: percentage throws. And I'm gonna I'm gonna sit here and

424
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: give him credit. He has improved himself in that area.

425
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: And Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator, has recognized it. He

426
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: has morphed this offense into more of a passing attack,

427
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: less reliant on the run game. And they're a more

428
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: dangerous offense now because of it. And now they're getting

429
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: healthy too. They getting healthy now. Rashad Bateman, their top

430
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: draft choice on offenses back and some other guys are

431
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: working their way back into the lineup. They're gonna be

432
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: there at the end. Yeah, You're gonna be right there

433
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: at the end. And I think Baltimore has taken a

434
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: step forward. And I think and Bill's fans can appreciate

435
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: a guy who gets better, you know. I mean, we

436
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: saw it with the guy with Josh Allen. You know,

437
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: the guy got better. He worked at it, and he

438
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: got better. Lamar Jackson's doing the exact same thing in

439
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: a different way. Obviously, his skill sets completely different, and

440
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: but he's getting better in the passing game like Josh

441
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: got better in every way. The Cardinals have got it

442
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: going on right now. The Ravens, the Bills, um, and

443
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: there was one more team at the Los Angeles Rams.

444
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: You kind of forget about it because they played so

445
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: early in the week. Yeah, they are. They are kind

446
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: of back in the saddle, whether you trust them or not.

447
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: As another thing, they're gonna score points every They are

448
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: gonna score points. Um, they are. They are looking good.

449
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: The Boys look pretty good. The Cowboys, I think they

450
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: may be. I think they may be for real. I

451
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: had by doubts about them because I because just you know,

452
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: they're always they get so much hype because of the

453
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: size of their fan base and how much they're on

454
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: national TV. In the division. They're killing that. The division's over. Yeah,

455
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: the division's done. Dallas Cowboy's gonna win. The kind of

456
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: turned in the NFC East and the AFC East, they're

457
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: somewhat laughable in terms of quality top to bottom right now.

458
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: They are right so, and it looks, you know, kind

459
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: of looks the same for the NFC North too. I mean,

460
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna touch Green Bay and anything but Alas I

461
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: saw them go in and I knew. We all, I mean,

462
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: Bills fans could have appreciate what Dallas was going through.

463
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: You go into New England, you know that it's not

464
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: gonna go well. They're gonna play better than they should there.

465
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: They you know, they're gonna make plays against you at

466
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: the crucial moments. And you know, Dallas walks out of

467
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: there with a win in overtime against a team that

468
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, there were two of five in the red

469
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: zone and they got a couple of breaks that went

470
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: against them that were crazy Dallas and they just escape, right.

471
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: But here's the difference. So I was just talking about

472
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and they how they have one of

473
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: those talented rosters on paper. So do the Cowboys? Yeah,

474
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: what do the Cowboys have? The Cowboys have a true

475
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: leader that everybody follows, like the pied piper in Dak Prescott.

476
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: And I think that just shows you where leadership makes

477
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: a difference. They never feel like they're they're out of

478
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: a game with Dak at quarterback, and a Baker is

479
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: a talented quarterback, I don't there's just some leadership void there.

480
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's him or somebody else on

481
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: the team, defense or whatever they've got, there's something missing

482
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: there with Cleveland. And I think Dallas has a comparable

483
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: roster in terms of talent to Cleveland, and they have

484
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: leadership to go with it, and I think that's going

485
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: to propel them further forward than the Browns is. So

486
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: you think about the Browns, They've got star power, you know,

487
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: ob J Miles, Baker, Michael's Garrett. And they got some guys,

488
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, I mean, and who's

489
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: the other wide receiver they came from from Miami, Landry

490
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: Landry Jarvis Landry. I mean, they got some guys. They

491
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: got Wyatt Teller Trader at their offensive line. They got

492
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: some guys up front too. And I think you're right.

493
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: I think there's something something's off there. I think something's

494
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: off in their dynamics, you know, off the field, their

495
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: personality dynamics. I'm not saying, yeah, you know, I'm not

496
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: saying it's like the Fish That's told Pittsburgh or anything

497
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: like that, the old movie. Look at Steve, I am

498
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: so proud of you. What a reference. I'm not saying,

499
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand will salute you for that. Thank you. The

500
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: fish that's safe. It's not like that kind of kid,

501
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: but it is something along those lines. I think it's

502
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: something in the locker room that doesn't let those guys flourish,

503
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: and they're either there's nobody that can rally around or whatever.

504
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: All the teams we're talking about have got those guys. Yeah,

505
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: they've got those guys. Stafford in La Josh Allen and Buffalo,

506
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in Baltimore, you know, Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins,

507
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: JJ Watt in Arizona. All these clubs have got somebody there,

508
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes in Kansas City. You know, they got

509
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: somebody that they're like standing around. I mean that guy.

510
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: That guy is the you know, is the flagpole, you know,

511
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: and they're all saluting it. You know that kind of

512
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: that kind of atmosphere. Is a guy they trust and

513
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: they can and they've earned it. You know, a guy

514
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: like Josh who they you know, these guys know he'd

515
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: take a bullet for him, you know, to win the game.

516
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: He'll jump over a guy to make it to win

517
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: a game. And those these other teams believe the same thing.

518
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: So who's it gonna be for the Cleveland Browns. You'd think, Baker,

519
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: you think but he's not. He hasn't been one hundred

520
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: percent for a month. Well, right, he's he's I mean,

521
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: one thing I will not I will say about Bait.

522
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: The guy is a tough son of a gun man. Yeah,

523
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: you got to tip your hat to that guy. He

524
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: does not come on with a gun. He is not

525
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: coming off the field. You gotta love that guy for that.

526
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: And maybe that's you know, a point where it's just

527
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: it's a tough balance. Do you do you lead your

528
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: team or do you get ready to play well? Or

529
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: or am I hurting my team because of the things

530
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: I can't do right now? It's a tough balance there.

531
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: Gotta tip our hat to Rich Bisaccia rallying the Raiders

532
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: in a tumultuous week to a thirty four twenty four

533
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: division win over the Broncos, who have done a really

534
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: good job beholding team down on the scoreboard this year

535
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: with that Vic Fangio defense. They run up thirty four

536
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: on the Broncos and win by ten in a week

537
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: that had to be as bizarre as any for that

538
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: team and that locker room. So gott tip your hat

539
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: to the special team's coordinator who took over his interim

540
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: head coach there with Las Vegas. Good job by them,

541
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: and they improved to four and two very quietly. And

542
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: then there's the ultimate flex, Aaron Rodgers putting a bow

543
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: on the victory. You had another victory over the Chicago

544
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: Bears in Chicago. You can't. He's audibly picked up by

545
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: microphones on the cameras in the end zone as he's

546
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: shouting to the stands. I still own you, as I believe.

547
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: He now has a record of twenty two and five

548
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears. Now that's a giant flex. And

549
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: I gotta say, as much as I detest Brady, he

550
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: never did stuff like that because he owned Buffalo and

551
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: every other team in the division for that matter. He

552
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: owned Miami, he owned New York. He never flexed like that.

553
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: That's just not him. I don't think Rogers is another story.

554
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: And you know social media was a wash with Bears

555
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: fans complaining left and right and this, that and the other.

556
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: But you can't deny the truth. He does own you.

557
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: That's his bill. He's got more wins there than any

558
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: Bears quarterback probably since Jim McMahon. Right, Oh yeah, I

559
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: mean Josh Allen just passed Tom Brady for most wins

560
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: in high Mark Stadium just passed him this year. Yeah,

561
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: so I'm sorry Bears fans. He's right, yeah, that was it.

562
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: Kind of you enjoy that. You enjoyed that I did.

563
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: I can tell you that's right up your alley. But

564
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: I'll say this the whole fors and nothing against Aaron Rodgers,

565
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. He's done it against everybody. But the

566
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: NFC North was a little bit like Tom Brady in

567
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: the AFC East for ten fifteen ye nobody could play.

568
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Nobody could play except the Patriots, and then they feasted

569
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: on a week division for a decade and a half,

570
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: two decades. And it's no different in the NFC North

571
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: for the most That's exactly right that with the Lions

572
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 1: and the Bears. I mean, are you kidding me? It's

573
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: like the Vikings and the Browns were for the Ravens

574
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: and the Steelers, except that had two really good teams.

575
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: The other two and the Vikings have been largely middling it.

576
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: They've made the playoffs a few years here and there

577
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: is a wild card. They're also Ran. Packers have been

578
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: a perennial division winner there and also Ran. The Vikings

579
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: are the cream of the crop past the They're the

580
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: best of a mediocre very The Lions and the Bears

581
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: are the same organization, same team, they just one in

582
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: a better city than the other and detected by the

583
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: way fell to o and six. They weren't even in

584
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: the game against Cincinnati. Who I gotta say, Steve, the

585
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: Bengals might be turned in the corner. They're in a

586
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: tough division where you may not notice it, but they

587
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: are very quietly four and two. And it's not just

588
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: the Joe Burrow Jamar Chase show. They've got a defense, Yeah,

589
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: they have a defense. Now they're gonna be competitive. I

590
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: think they'll be battling for like a six or seven

591
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: seed in the AFC. They're not going away. I think

592
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: they've got some staying power, you know, as long as

593
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: they can keep Burrow upright, they got a chance. Right.

594
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: But I'm you know, I'm not gonna annoint them anything.

595
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: It's having a good game against a bad team. Well right,

596
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: but now the Bills have done The Bills have done

597
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: that as well. Yes, but that's how you want to

598
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: play against a team that's not so good. You want

599
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: to thump them. And that's what the Bengals did, and

600
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do. They're four and two and

601
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: that's that's no laughing. That's no laugh there ahead of

602
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: Cleveland Pittsburgh right now, that's right. And you know what

603
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: I just I think the Bengals, let's you know, if

604
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: you look at their look at what they've got coming

605
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: up the Bengals, Well, the NFC North has the AFC

606
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: or then they lost West this year. They lost to

607
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: the Bears and the Packers, but they beat Detroit, they

608
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: beat Pittsburgh, they beat Jacksonville, and they beat Minnesota. So

609
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: you know, now there, let's see what they can do

610
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: against Baltimore this week. You know, let's let's see what

611
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: they do. And I'm not saying they got to win that,

612
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: but you know, they want to, they want to get

613
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: they need to compete. They need to get them deep

614
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: in the fourth court and have a chance to win

615
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: that to gain some respect. Break time for us here,

616
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: but we want to let you know the Twitter conversation today,

617
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: what's the key to a Bill's victory over the Titans tonight?

618
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: Tell us what we'll tip the scales in Buffalo's favor.

619
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: We want to know from you, but we will take

620
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: a break here when we come back. Got some comment

621
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: from Emmanuel Sanders Micah Hyde about tonight's game and the matchup,

622
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: so we'll get to that when we return. Here on

623
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by Kelloid of Health, It's Buffalo

624
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

625
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you here on a Bills Football Monday

626
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: as we serve as your extended pregame show heading into

627
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: tonight's game between the Bills and Titans at Nissan Stadium

628
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: in Nashville, and we wanted to pass along some comments

629
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: from some of the players heading into tonight's game, and

630
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders was apparently very popular on the bar scene

631
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: this weekend. Was speaking to the media before he headed

632
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: down to Nashville, and he was asked the question question

633
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: about a letdown coming off of the Chiefs win, the

634
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: emotional Chiefs win, and ahead of an upcoming bye week.

635
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: It's kind of a sandwich game here with the Titans.

636
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: So here are his thoughts on the challenge of not

637
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: having a letdown with the bye week approaching. That's that's

638
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: the challenge, right, So now we beat the Chiefs on

639
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: the road and then we have a bye week coming up,

640
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: and so that's the narrative, and everybody has to stay

641
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: focused on. Look like, let's let's we got another tough game, right,

642
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: we gotta go play the Titans, which is another great

643
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: team on Monday night football on the road, and who

644
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: knows it might be hostile, not even though I heard

645
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to be in a building, a

646
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of them, I hope, but uh, you know that

647
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: that's the test. But at the end of the day,

648
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: we got to think about just where we want to

649
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: be at the end of the season, and so stay

650
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: locked in, stay stay focused. And I think that just

651
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: from a team standpoint, I think coach me dermot does

652
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: a great job of making we'll allowing guys to speak

653
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: to the team and speak on leadership, and just from

654
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: hearing you know, everybody you know speak and talk, I

655
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: feel like we got grown in on this team, suit,

656
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like everybody's locked in on a game.

657
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: So no surprise there. And I think coach McDermott leans

658
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: on his player leadership council pretty heavily in this regard

659
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: to keep complacency from creeping into that locker room. He

660
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: will check in with those guys routinely and say, hey,

661
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: what's the pulse of the locker room right now? Our

662
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: guys kinda that they need to kick in the pants

663
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: every once in a while from some of you guys

664
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: to keep them going, keep them focused. Are they still

665
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: enjoying the win over Kansas City too much now that

666
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: it's Wednesday? So he keeps tabs on that stuff routinely,

667
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: and the leaders on this team, the players take it

668
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: upon themselves, as you heard Sanders say right there, to

669
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: get in front of these guys and say, hey, I've

670
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: been in this league ten years. You want to relish

671
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: in that win over the Chiefs. You're gonna get your

672
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: rear ends whooped against Titans on Monday night? Right. And

673
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: it's good Coaches find a way to reach their team,

674
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: and it's not reaching their team means getting them to think, Okay,

675
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: you know what, He's right, I gotta buckle down. I

676
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: got to do this and to get ready for this

677
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: game and flush that last game good or bad, and

678
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: think about this one and not worry about how many

679
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: days off or what I mean. You know, I'm gonna

680
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: go to a take a weekend with a wife and

681
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: kids next week on the bye week, we're gonna get

682
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: some time off for the first time in about four months,

683
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, so you got to kind of push all

684
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: out aside and focus on what you're gonna do. And

685
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure McDermott will use last year's game as some

686
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: fodder for this um, and you know, he'll have ways

687
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: to get these guys to say, wow, I'm you know,

688
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: to get this game right to the top of the

689
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: priority list and get it where these guys can't think

690
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: about anything else, and get him motivated not only to

691
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: play this game, but to go in and really get

692
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: there and really get to the level that we haven't

693
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: been yet. So that's what a coach can do. Yeah,

694
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen got the monkey off his back last week

695
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: beating Kansas City for the first time in three attempts,

696
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: and his performance I think only reassured the rest of

697
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: that team we can beat anybody after the way he

698
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: performed in that game. Great on deep ball, accuracy, big plays.

699
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: I thought he's I thought he took another step in

700
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: his development, straddling the line between improvising when necessary but

701
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: also playing within the scope of the game plan. I

702
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: thought he walked that line perfectly. On Sunday Night Football.

703
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: So here's Emmanuel Sanders on Josh Allen's prime time performance.

704
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: Allen I told him, I said, Man, I'm about to

705
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: get rid of these gewords. I'm about to go put

706
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: an air Allas and get some air Alla shoes. You

707
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Him jumping over the fender, I mean,

708
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: I drove right now is just crucial. I mean it

709
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: really just showed me like who he was, Like, I mean,

710
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a guy that just had

711
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: you know that that that mama mentality is just like

712
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: whatever I gotta do to go down and score his

713
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: drive and hopefully puts this game away. You saw, you

714
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: saw that in him on that drive, and he took

715
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: matters into his own hands. You know plenty of times,

716
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: even on the third day when he jumped over the guy.

717
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: That just goes to show what type of what type

718
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: of guy he is. Man, he's a special player. And

719
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: I said that after the game and on in prime time.

720
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: Steve Alan doesn't shy away when the lights are on.

721
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: I compiled his numbers for a story we had on

722
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills dot Com because he's entering his fiftieth career

723
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: game tonight, right career in prime time five and one

724
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: sixty five percent completion percentage four to one, touchdown to

725
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: interception ratio sixteen to four, and a one oh six

726
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: passer rating. Not bad, not bad, pretty good. He and

727
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: we thought that early on in his career too, where

728
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think the first one he had, the

729
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: first real game he had and under the lights, was

730
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving game, which kind of counts as that, you know,

731
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: the late afternoon game on Thanksgiving in Dallas where I

732
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, Okay, there's our guy right there. Right

733
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: then he showed up again in a couple other moments

734
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: and under the lights as well. And he's got this

735
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's got this thing about him. We all

736
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: know that, you know, the big worry for some Bills

737
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: fans who think they know this team intimately or is

738
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: you got to keep Josh from getting too excited. Um.

739
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: But I do think a little bit of it, and

740
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: it is unfair, and there's none of it about that.

741
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: Nothing about this is fair because people's opinions don't have

742
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: to be fair. And I'll just point to this. If

743
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen would have had the interception that Pat Mahomes

744
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: had yesterday in that game, against all fallen down and

745
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: just shot putting it, shot putting it, just doing some

746
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: against Washington again, Washington football team. Um, he'd be getting killed.

747
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: And it's like crickets with Pat Mahomes crickets. And it

748
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: was the worst stupidest interception you'll ever see. He's already

749
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: hit his high for most interceptions in a season. Oh,

750
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: he has six now, and that the most he ever

751
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: had in a season. I think before that or no,

752
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Last year he had four all season. I

753
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: think maybe he had six. Awesome, it's been he went

754
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: five six seven four or five six. This this year

755
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: he's got all. He's got eight. Oh, he's got that's

756
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: what he's got. Eight. Sorry and so um and that.

757
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: But that interception Mahomes through yesterday was off. He'll tell

758
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: you too. It's awful. And he's fumbled the snaps, took

759
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: off run and was going down and getting tone and

760
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: he like, well, I don't know. It was just a

761
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: horrible interception. Yeah, um, you know, and you hear nothing

762
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: about it because for whatever reason, if if Josh does that,

763
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: people are writing him off again. Oh hero ball. It's yeah,

764
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: it's awful, but that's you know, none about nothing about

765
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: these Your opinion about these guys is fair because you know,

766
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: but I asked, I asked coach about that very thing.

767
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: You know, how how do you think he straddled the

768
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: line against the Chiefs between improvising when he had to

769
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: and playing within the scope of the game plan. And

770
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: he said, I'm gonna use a direct quote here. He

771
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: was aggressive in a calculated way. There were times when

772
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: he was out of the pocket where he threw the

773
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: ball away, and there were times when he was out

774
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: of the pocket and made plays down the field and

775
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: found open receivers. So I thought it was a real

776
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: nice balance of aggressiveness and real responsible decision making on

777
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: his part. That is the quintessential description that coach McDermott

778
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 1: wants to give to Josh Allen after every single football

779
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: game because he believes if he does that, they're not

780
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: gonna lose too often. Right, Yeah, right, And Josh played

781
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: extremely well in Kansas City, not perfect, but really well,

782
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: and the team around and played really well, and they

783
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,479
Speaker 1: got to continue to do that. Two of the five

784
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: games of the Bills have played so far have been

785
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: in driving rainstorms, and that has been an issue, I think,

786
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: and one of the other games was in like twenty

787
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: five mile an hour wins in Buffalo, So they have

788
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: yet to play on a sparkling night or in an

789
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: indoor stadium where they don't have to worry or play

790
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: the wind, or worry about the ball being dry or

791
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: footing or any of that stuff. So I'm kind of

792
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: anxious to see if this is a nice night in Tennessee,

793
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: if this offense can do some things that they haven't

794
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: been able to do thus far. But yeah, this is

795
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 1: These games are are big because you know what everybody's watching,

796
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: no question, but this is a good The reason it's

797
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: on Monday night, let's face it. The reasons on Monday

798
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 1: Night football, Brownie, is because these are two really good teams.

799
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: You got you gotta show up ready, and you gotta

800
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: play well. You're not gonna You're not gonna beat the

801
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: Titans if you don't play well. Break time for us here.

802
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will maybe take a peek

803
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: at the tweet sheet, but don't forget, we got a

804
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: jam packed show here today. Coming up next hour, Lewis Riddick,

805
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: ESPN color commentator for Monday Night Football, will join me

806
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: to discuss tonight's game Josh Allen's development and the like.

807
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: Third hour the show, Eric Wood from Nashville giving us

808
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: the update and his thoughts on the game tonight. All

809
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: of that coming your way here on One Bills Live,

810
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: presented by Colloid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

811
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: welcome back. One Bills Live is the show. It is

812
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: your extended pregame show for tonight's Monday night football matchup

813
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Titans from Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

814
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: And we wanted to get to the tweet sheet here

815
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: before we get to the top of the hour and

816
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: are joined by Lewis Riddick, color commentator for ESPN's Monday

817
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: Night football telecast. And what's the key to a Bill's

818
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: victory over the Titans tonight? That's your conversation piece on

819
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet at One Bills Live. And John leads

820
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: us off, which is brought to you as always by

821
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company in the Buffalo Bills.

822
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: John says, our old line and allan have to adjust

823
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: two to three four not our strength score and get

824
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: a lead. Playing from behind is risky with Henry put

825
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: Tannehill in a position where we won't respect play action

826
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: and he has to face our pass rush, he can

827
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: be sacked. He is the most sack quarterback in the

828
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: league right now, twenty sacks, say five games. I'll say this,

829
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 1: If the Bills can do a nice job on first

830
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: and second downtaid you're talking about, yeah, yeah, and get

831
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: the Titans into a third and eight plus or seven plus,

832
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: that puts them in a real buying because then play

833
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: actions not quite saying, you know, not buying it. They're

834
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: not buying it so much. And even if you don't

835
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: and the guy do hand and they do hand it off,

836
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: you know, you got to get them. You could get

837
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: a chance to stop them short. Yeah. I think that's

838
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 1: the key thing. If you can get them into passing

839
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: situations where Derek Henry is an afterthought rather than the

840
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: rather than the you know, the main choice. They're gonna struggle. Yeah,

841
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna struggle. Offensively. Bill's opponents in third and five

842
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: or less this season have converted fifty five percent of

843
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: the time. Third and six or more they convert fourteen

844
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,959
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Get them in third and long

845
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: and defensive line is gonna eat or the secondary is

846
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: going to be taking the ball in the other direction.

847
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: Nick on the tweet sheet says, the key to the

848
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: game tonight will probably be the key to all games

849
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: going forward. Sound execution. We should be better than almost

850
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: every remaining team on our schedule, but poor execution, loppy turnovers,

851
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: and dumb decisions can lead to upsets. It's our game

852
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: to lose. I like that. That's been Nick's pretty stupid.

853
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: When you get a good team like Buffalo Scott, it

854
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: is about you and being able to do what you do. Now,

855
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: there's there's some of this that falls also on the

856
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: coaching staff because you're not going to be light years

857
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: ahead talent wise of most teams in the NFL, and

858
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: now your talent will mesh differently against their matchups. They're

859
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: good players may match up well against your good players,

860
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: or your good players may be right where their weakness is.

861
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: All that kind of stuff that goes into it. So

862
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: that's up to your coaching staff to give you a

863
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: chance to go in there and spread the ball to

864
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: the guys who were winning, or run behind an offensive

865
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: line who is outmatched, who's outmatching their opponent this week.

866
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff falls on your coaching staff. But

867
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: that's at this point in you know, in this point

868
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: of history for the Buffalo Bills, that's a given. Dave

869
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 1: Ball is going to have him dialed up, and they're

870
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to decipher for in game what the Titans

871
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: are doing and get those matchups they want and anticipate

872
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 1: what their philosophy is going to be series to series.

873
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: So if you can do that, then it does come

874
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: down to execution because your coaching staff will be on

875
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: top of it. That's not always easy, and that's why,

876
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's why the Patriots are so good at

877
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: what they do. They can do, you know, play by

878
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: play and change their philosophy. So well, yeah, it's all

879
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: about execution when you have a really talented roster. It's

880
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: also you know, you got to understand that you're not

881
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: playing a vacuum and these other team brings some things

882
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: to the table too. Go into the game blind and

883
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: just say, oh, we do what we do and we'll win, right,

884
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: You got to prepare for what the other team does

885
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: well as as well. Break time for us here when

886
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: we return. It's our first of two guests from Nashville.

00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who has been all over the field. Kind

891
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: of unique. He was kind of a dual role player

892
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

893
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: the stratiere of normalcy. All right, Welcome to our number

894
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: two one Bills Live Buffalo Football Monday edition. And we

895
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: do want to remind you that today's game, Tonight's game

896
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: is brought to you by the BFLO Store, the official

897
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: retailer of the Buffalo Bills. Time now though to be

898
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,439
Speaker 1: joined by ESPN Monday Night Football color commentator Lewis Riddick,

899
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: who will be on the telecast tonight with Brian Greasy

900
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: and Steve Levy, talks about Brian Dable's creativity and what

901
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can do to take his game to an

902
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: even higher level. Here's Lewis all right, Lewis Well Bills Titans.

903
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: It's a familiar matchup they've messed up each of the

904
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: last three years, even though they're not in the same division. Sure,

905
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,919
Speaker 1: this one seems to have a different feel to it.

906
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: Because the general consensus here is the Bills are still

907
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 1: an ascending team, and I think the jury is still out,

908
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: and maybe the Titans, even though they're not playing in

909
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: a strong division and sit atop the AFC South, might

910
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: be stagnating a bit. How do you see it? Yeah,

911
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: I definitely would say that Buffalo is ascending for sure,

912
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: although the level that they're ascending from was pretty good already.

913
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: But they have really I think from an offensive standpoint,

914
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: if you just start there, they are. The tweaks that

915
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: they've made to the side of the offensive line have

916
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: strengthen the running game. I think the running game is

917
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 1: now one where Brian dave Ball would be confident in saying, Look,

918
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: if it's one of these situations where we want to

919
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: line up with two tight ends one, why put a

920
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 1: fullback in the game and just pound you with Devin

921
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 1: and Zach will do that, But that's not really who

922
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: we are per se. We'd like to spread you out

923
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: and throw the football, which I think is just a

924
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: great addition in terms of how versatile and multiple this

925
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: offense could because the best offenses are doing that NFL.

926
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: There are the type of offenses where, depending upon what

927
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: teams want to take away, they'll just go the opposite way.

928
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: And this really instead of you trying to make them

929
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: play left hand, and they make you play left hand.

930
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: And that's really what Buffalo has become, I think from

931
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: an offensive perspective, and we'll see how it plays out

932
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: during the year, but I think they have the ability

933
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: to do that. And then defensively, they really strengthened this

934
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: defensive line. They have a bunch of guys that can

935
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: come at you in waves now and that's really what

936
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,439
Speaker 1: they really needed, I believe, to kind of round out

937
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 1: this team anyway and really be able to give Kansas City,

938
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: based off of last year, everything that they don't want

939
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 1: as far as a matchup, and we saw that. Look

940
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: it looked like that when they played them. They just

941
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: totally out class Tennessee. Is interesting, man, because we still

942
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: know that they're the Derrick Henry Show. As far as

943
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: running the football, we haven't really seen the passing game

944
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,439
Speaker 1: click yet because we haven't really seen Rulio and aj

945
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: at their full strength together and really be able to

946
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: go on the field and get going. I don't know

947
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: if from a passing game perspective, I don't know if

948
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: they're stronger than they were last year. I don't know

949
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: if Ryan Tannehill will be as good this year as

950
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: they were last year, because offensive line just does not

951
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: look good, especially on the perimeter. I mean, those they

952
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,959
Speaker 1: have they have really struggled to pass protect and that's

953
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: not a good sign. That's not a good sign for it,

954
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, against a team like Buffalo that is probably

955
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: going to score some points against their defense, against their

956
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: secondary that also has struggled. So I kind of look

957
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: at it like this, maybe two teams going in totally

958
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: different directions. One team's going here, the other team's kind

959
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: of going like this and or stagnant. Yeah, it could be,

960
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: and we'll see. We thought that last week. We thought

961
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: that last week we have to Baltimore Indianapolis, and then

962
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: look what happened. Right. So that's the full thing about

963
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: the NFL and why we can't wait to get the

964
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: money none. You mentioned some of the personnel groupings and

965
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: usage of Brian day Ball, you know, ten personnel. They

966
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: used it second most in the league next to Arizona.

967
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: Last year. That's kind of gone away due in part

968
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: to the emergence of Dawson Knox. You have to have

969
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: him on the field. But where do you put Brian

970
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: dayball on the creativity meter one to ten. Look, he's

971
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: right there. If you just want to say he's attending this,

972
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: let's just give it. Give it to him in that

973
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: way because one, I mean, you know, full disclosure here.

974
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: I love Brian and I have talked to him on

975
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: a personal level many times, and someone who I think

976
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: is a I just don't know. I don't know how

977
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: much longer people can wait in order to hire him

978
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: to be a head coach. This is kind of getting

979
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: a little bit well, it's getting ridiculous for a lot

980
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: of guys. But he's one of those guys who should

981
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: be a head coach and running his own program. He

982
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: is around the best coaches that this game has the

983
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: offer at the pro level and the college level. So

984
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: he has seen it all, he has done it all,

985
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: he has schemed against it all. He has been on

986
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. So he I mean, he

987
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: gets the game and he gets that it's about the

988
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 1: efficiency and doing whatever it is that you need to

989
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: do in order to be efficient, and really efficiency is

990
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: about scoring points. And so I love, I mean, I

991
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: love that about him, and I love the fact that

992
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: again that this offense now is as multiple as any

993
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL, and I think as the year

994
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: goes on, it will prove that will prove to be

995
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: the case. I expect that to be the case on

996
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: Monday Night. And it makes it fun. I'll take you

997
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: on again. From a broadcasting perspective, it makes it fun

998
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: for us because we prepare for what we think we're

999
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: going to see, but then when it doesn't happen, it

1000
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: really tests us to really analyze in real time what

1001
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators and defensive coordinators are thinking. And Brian's a

1002
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: hell of a challenge because of that, and it's neat. Man.

1003
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: I have nothing but respect for him. Think he's a

1004
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: brilliant play car. I know your crew got a couple

1005
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: of looks at Josh last year in his breakout season

1006
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 1: Week sixteen. I mean, Brian Greasey's even saying wow live

1007
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: on the air. I think you had a couple of

1008
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: whiles with some of those throws that he had to

1009
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs on the three touchdowns. That second window throw

1010
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: to Stefan in particular, I think is one that elicited

1011
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: some excited comments from both of you watching it up close.

1012
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: And personal. What is there Is there a next step

1013
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: for Josh? It's hard to imagine after the numbers he

1014
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: put up last year, which if Aaron Rodgers hadn't done

1015
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: what he'd done, would have been an MVP season easier.

1016
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: Is there another level for Josh? Because we've talked to

1017
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: his to his quarterback guru guy in the offseason, Jordan Palmer,

1018
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: he's of the opinion there is no ceiling for Josh

1019
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: as long as Josh keeps reaching for more. Where where

1020
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: do you come down on that? Yeah, there's always new levels, man,

1021
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: And it's not always just about physical. It's not just

1022
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: about throwing the ball harder or faster, more accuracy. I mean,

1023
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: I think it's the mental aspect. It's it's the levels

1024
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: that guys like Brady and Breeze reached in Peyton, the

1025
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: levels where it doesn't matter really what defensive looks defensive

1026
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: coordinators throw at a guy playing quarterback, he will be

1027
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: able to if it is new to him originally in

1028
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: a game and it's something that he hasn't seen, he

1029
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: will be able to see at one time and then

1030
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: be able to recognize when it's coming again in the

1031
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: course of a game. And that takes time. I mean

1032
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 1: that takes I mean, now we're talking, you know, we're

1033
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: talking like Jedi level stuff when it comes to quarterbacks

1034
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: that can do that, and with like for instance, I

1035
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: mean like with Tom Brady. I mean, you saw him

1036
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, you know, in the game they just

1037
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: played Thursday night, and you see a very relatively simple

1038
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: scheme from the Philadelphia Eagles against Tom Brady, which you

1039
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: have no shot to play be simple against a guy

1040
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: like him. When he played against the Patriots, they changed

1041
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: their looks up Darner every series and then in the

1042
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: second half, like we used to do when I was

1043
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, when we were playing against Peyton Manning,

1044
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott had two different game plans for Payton. He

1045
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: had one first half, one second half because by the

1046
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: end of the first half, Payton had already figured out

1047
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: that one, so in the second half he had thrown

1048
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: the curveball. Those are the kind of levels that the

1049
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: true greats really reach. It's not just about physical ability,

1050
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: because we all know we can get enamor with Josh's

1051
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: physical ability. And when you can take a quarterback sneak,

1052
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: fake click, you're going into the middle of the line

1053
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: and then bowled out the side and pick up twenty

1054
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: five thirty yards in the fourth and one situation. That's ridiculous.

1055
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: And you saw some of those design quarterback runs against

1056
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City. It's not fair. A guy that big jumping

1057
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: over people like that's not fair. That's easy to recognize

1058
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: that he is special. It's up here where he will

1059
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: continue to take his game to hire and higher levels

1060
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: to where he reaches. You know that master class of

1061
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: players like like Steve Young used to be back in

1062
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: the day, like Joe Montage, those guys are. That's when

1063
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about the elite of the elite of Hall

1064
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: of Famer. So for Jordan to say there are no

1065
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: there is no ceiling. I see what he's what he means,

1066
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: because I think it's all about growth here now because

1067
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: he's corrected all the things he needed to correct from

1068
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: a mechanic standpoint that would then translate the better accuracy.

1069
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: Now it's just about laughing at defensive coordinators really and going,

1070
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: if that's all you're gonna come with, I'm gonna tear

1071
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: you apart, yeah, because that's too weak for me, and

1072
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: taking it one more step further. He's coming up on

1073
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: his fiftieth game, not his fiftieth start, but whatever, fiftieth game.

1074
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: And you know, the stat gurus are all over this

1075
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: because I think he only needs one more rushing touchdown

1076
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: or two to pass Cam Newton for the most rushing

1077
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns by a quarterback in fifty games. So despite all

1078
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: of his passing prowess and the strides that he has

1079
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 1: made there, it's like, oh, by the way, this guy

1080
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: is a major red zone headache because of what he

1081
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: can do with his legs. I mean, numbers are numbers,

1082
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: but I mean Cam Newton, nobody thought anybody was going

1083
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: to touch that number when when Cam was playing. I

1084
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: just I don't think anybody saw anybody coming down the

1085
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: pike that could do that. Yeah, which makes it, you know,

1086
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: I think you have to you have to be careful

1087
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: when you say we will never see another player like that.

1088
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I guess you really say, because there's always there's always

1089
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: more coming. There's always I mean, the people were continually

1090
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: continually evolving in terms of their body type and the

1091
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: ability and their ability to train at higher levels and

1092
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: get more in the advancements in training and nutrition and

1093
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: recovery and just how you play the game. Itself. The

1094
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: interestacies of the game, the fundamentals of the game are

1095
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: being taught with more and more advanced technology for you

1096
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: to be able to refine how you play the game

1097
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: and how technically and fundamentally sounded you are. And all

1098
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: this stuff translates into guys like Josh being able to

1099
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: do more and more things that one players couldn't do

1100
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: in the past and two players weren't asked to do

1101
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: in the past. And that is what just keeps taking

1102
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: the game and making it and growing it and making

1103
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: it more and more fun for guys like Brian Dave

1104
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: all to be creative when they get a hold of

1105
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 1: people like Josh Allen. So that's cool, though, I mean

1106
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: that that's cool. It's cool to see the game continue

1107
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: to evolve like that, and he definitely is at the

1108
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: forefront of that evolution, both in terms of the way

1109
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: he looks, the way he can move to different types

1110
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: of things he can do, and look, Bill's Mafia should

1111
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: just be happy, because I mean, just think about it

1112
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: in this one, all right, think about the greatest quarterback

1113
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: really in Bill's history that people always point too. They

1114
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: pointed Jim Kelly when I was a kid, and my

1115
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: brother was playing there. That's the guy who I used

1116
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: to come and watch. I mean, Jim Kelly was the guy.

1117
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Josh totally different player. Jim couldn't do half the things

1118
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: that Josh can do. Athletic, couldn't do half of them.

1119
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: He wasn't even I mean not to say he wasn't

1120
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, because he was. But just to see

1121
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: a guy really just as big as Jim is not bigger,

1122
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: more athletic, and be able to do the kind of

1123
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: things he can do running the football, I mean, that

1124
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: just shows you how the game has changed and how

1125
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,439
Speaker 1: the game continues to evolve. And this guy is He's

1126
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 1: special man, as simple as that, He's special. Talking with

1127
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: ESPN Monday Night football color commentator Lewis, Riddick and Lewis

1128
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: taking a look a little bit closer at the matchups

1129
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: Monday Night, the one that sticks out like a sore

1130
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: thumb to me is Buffalo's receiving corps against this Titan secondary.

1131
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: They're depending on a lot of youth. They've also got

1132
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: some nicked up players. Chris Jackson is you know, not

1133
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: for enough not to knock, you know, late round picks

1134
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: because a lot of guys stay in the league a

1135
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 1: long time that are late round picks or even undrafted guys.

1136
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: But I'm worried he's going to get a classroom lesson

1137
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: from Cole Beasley on defending the slot receiver. How how

1138
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: do they match up? Knowing they're nicked up and largely inexperienced,

1139
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: They're being has to do a lot going into this one,

1140
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: aren't they. Yeah, they sure are. Look and you know,

1141
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: if Christian Fulton doesn't play, you know, then their first

1142
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: round pick, Caleb Farley has to be ready to go

1143
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: on the outside. Um, yeah, in the slot. In the slot,

1144
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: Cole Cole is one of the very best slot players

1145
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: that there are. There's no doubt about them, There's no doubt.

1146
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: But see they drafted a guy out of Washington, you know,

1147
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: named Elijah Molden, whose father Alex Moulton played in the

1148
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: league too, who is very good in the slot. But

1149
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: there there any team that goes up against Buffalo knows

1150
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: that they have so many different types of weapons, different

1151
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: body types, different skill sets that they have to deal with.

1152
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: And look that that's just what you sign up for

1153
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: when you play against Buffalo, whether it's trying to slow

1154
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: down step on who presents one kind of challenge, Emmanuel

1155
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: represents another kind of challenge. Cole represents another kind of challenge,

1156
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: Dawson the different kind. I mean that that's what I'm

1157
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: talking about. What I'm saying that this this offense now

1158
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: is in a sweet spot and the fact that they

1159
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: have developed a running game, So yeah, it's not It's

1160
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: not something I'm sure Mike rave Inshane Bone or looking

1161
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: forward to trying to defend their pass rush is going

1162
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: to have to help them out. It really is. They're

1163
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to really ramp it up and make Josh uncomfortable.

1164
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: But then again, that's what everybody says that they have

1165
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: to do against Buffalo, and a lot of teams don't

1166
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: succeed in doing that. So I'm hoping they're successful to

1167
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: a degree. So we have a great game, But this

1168
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: is an all day affair for them, no question about it,

1169
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to play their very best. Saying

1170
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: it as much as the Bill's offense gets the headlines,

1171
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: and deservedly so, I mean, this defense has been lights

1172
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: out through the first five games. I know they haven't

1173
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 1: played a super high caliber string of quarterbacks, with the

1174
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: exception of Mahomes this past week on Sunday Night Football,

1175
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a completely different animal they're playing against.

1176
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: They go from the Chiefs to the Titans, and it's like,

1177
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: this is a buckle your chin strap Week thirteen personnel

1178
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: twenty one personnel. You know, get up at the line

1179
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: and just mash Yeah. How do you just, from your

1180
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: experience as a defensive player yourself, how do you switch

1181
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: that mindset from one week to the next, knowing you're

1182
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: in for what is likely to be a completely different game.

1183
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: I think you know inherently if you like football, you

1184
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: like contact, You like physical contact. Do you like hearing

1185
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 1: the pads crack? And when you're going up against an

1186
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: offensive player, you just do. And although the league has

1187
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: tried to legislate a lot of that physicality out of

1188
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: the game of the past ten years, it's still something

1189
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: that I think in your DNA, it's something that you

1190
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: want and that you crave. At least you better when

1191
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: you play the Tennessee Titans. Let's just put it that way.

1192
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: And I think these guys naturally will go Okay, Look,

1193
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,919
Speaker 1: instead of us playing a horizontal game, we're gonna play

1194
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 1: much more Phone booth vertical type of game, although with

1195
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: their wide songs they try to stretch you horizontally and

1196
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: then let Derek Hill come downhill, you know, looking like

1197
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: Lebron James playing tailback. But I think they have the

1198
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of players that are up for that kind challenge.

1199
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean Twaye and Edmonds is up for that kind

1200
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: of challenge. Jordan Ployer and Micah High, they will they

1201
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: will put the as we used to say, they will

1202
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: put the riddell right on Derrick Kennedy or at least

1203
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: they will try. And it's sometimes sometimes you know you're

1204
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: the hammer, sometimes you're the nail. But I think defensive

1205
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 1: players crave that kind of thing and they want that

1206
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: kind of challenge. I'm sure this defensive line, as deep

1207
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: as they are and as much as they rotate through

1208
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: there are want they want to challenge. It gets a

1209
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: banged up Tennessee offensive line that really the best thing

1210
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: they do is come off the ball. So I'm sure

1211
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 1: they want to find out where they stand. And you know,

1212
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Sean is a tough guy. If Sean is

1213
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: one of those guys who has earned everything that he

1214
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: has gotten along the way, starting all the way back

1215
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: in high school when he was a wrestler and to

1216
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: college and you know all the things that he did

1217
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia when I was there with him. I know

1218
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: how he is. He is going to challenge his defense

1219
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: this week to say, hey, look remember that shot last

1220
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: year of Derrick Henry taking Josh Norman and we ran

1221
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: on a loop one replay on ESPN over and over again.

1222
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: You really want that to be the you know, the

1223
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: narrative coming out of this game again of shure, they

1224
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: want to atone for last year. They want to atone

1225
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 1: for that play. They're gonna get their chance because this

1226
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: is what Tennessee does best, and if they don't do that,

1227
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: then I don't think they have a chance to win

1228
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: this game. So again, for me, as a defensive player,

1229
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: I love that kind of game. I love to see

1230
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: how this team is going to respond and this will

1231
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: be a great test for you. Touched on a very

1232
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: interesting point there, Lewis. The circumstances of last year's game

1233
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: between these two teams was a veritable mess from a

1234
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: scheduling standpoint for the Bills. Basically, the Titans were the

1235
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: pariahs of the league because of the COVID outbreak, that

1236
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: they had sustained. We all know about the Pittsburgh game

1237
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: that had to get moved. Steelers lost their pie week,

1238
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 1: and then basically the Titans got two weeks to lie

1239
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: and wait while the Bills sat up here in Buffalo

1240
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: and we're wondering, oh, are we going to get skipped

1241
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: ahead to our Week six game again Kansas City? Oh no,

1242
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: we're playing Tennessee. We're gonna play it on a Monday.

1243
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, we're gonna play it on a Tuesday. And

1244
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: they basically had forty eight hours to lock in and say,

1245
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: all right, we got to go down to Nashville and

1246
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: play a game. They were completely messed up with their

1247
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: routine and all of that stuff, and they got waxed.

1248
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: Tell me again from a player perspective, because these players

1249
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: aren't going to tell us that this week. We know

1250
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: how Sean kind of keeps things under wraps. Yeah, how

1251
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: much does that eat at players even a year later?

1252
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: And play into the emotions of this game where Bills

1253
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: players may want to just lump them up this Monday night. Yeah, look,

1254
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: this game is a lot about emotion, period. And although

1255
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: you know the the strategy of not giving teams bulletin

1256
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: board material is something that everyone tries to employ, and

1257
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: they try to keep their answers bland to the media

1258
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: and make sure that's just another game that last year

1259
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We're just focused on this game play at

1260
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: a time. Blah blah blah. Look that's and then we

1261
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 1: all know, Look what's said in the locker room, what's

1262
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: said in a team meeting room, which set on the

1263
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: practice field, what's set on the bus, the playing the

1264
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: bus ride over to the stadium, and then those huddled

1265
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: when they're breaking each other down before they go back

1266
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 1: in the locker room to come out of the game

1267
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: is far more emotional and particular about certain teams and

1268
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: players than what we get for sure. Of course, put

1269
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, Kyle Shanahan told me this last year when

1270
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: he told our Money Night crew this last year, just

1271
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: remember this about the game of football. Football's hard. It's

1272
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: a hard game, and you need mental motivation. You need

1273
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: to find ways to continue to get yourself to rise

1274
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 1: to the occasion at the highest level, which is the

1275
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: NFL against other guys who are very very good and

1276
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: just as skilled as you. Any little edge you can

1277
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: get you take this is something they will use for sure.

1278
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: Because no one likes to be embarrassed at this level,

1279
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: and they got embarrassed and then and again, that one

1280
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: play kind of is something that if I was on

1281
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: that football team, even if it didn't happen to me

1282
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: as a defender, I would be going, we need to

1283
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: atone for that. We just do Yeah, And don't don't

1284
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: think for a second that no matter what Sean tells

1285
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: you or anybody else in that defense tells you or

1286
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 1: in that organization tells you, don't don't for a second

1287
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: believe that they they have not that they have forgotten that,

1288
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: and that they want to atone for that, because that's

1289
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 1: how that's what game, that's what the game of football is.

1290
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: You know, Bill Parcells talked about all the time about

1291
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,759
Speaker 1: it's about your ability to impose your will on your opponent.

1292
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: Nick Saban used to talk to us about that all

1293
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: the time in Cleveland. Can you physically make your other

1294
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 1: make your opponent want to quit? Can you make him

1295
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: want to quit? And that sounds tough, guy, rah rah rah,

1296
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: But it's the truth. And this is that that play

1297
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: signified how everyone looked at that game. Sean doesn't want that,

1298
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't want that hanging over his head

1299
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 1: and you know how he is. This is this is

1300
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: the ultimate tough So that that's again, there's a lot

1301
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: of cool storylines of different avenues that I know us

1302
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: as a production, we're gonna take this game down different roads.

1303
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping it lives up to it because it's

1304
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: one of It's actually the game that I had circled

1305
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: on my calendar. But we were doing some preseason shows.

1306
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 1: What's the one game you're looking forward to? I was

1307
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: like that Buffalo at Tennessee, because this is going to

1308
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: be a hell of a rematch, so to speak. Yeah,

1309
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 1: and I think it meets all of the physical requirements

1310
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: that old school football guys like yourself sign up for.

1311
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Last one I've got for you, Lewis. So we know

1312
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 1: that the Bills have successfully held Henry down. He has

1313
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: not had more than eighty rushing yards in any of

1314
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: the last three meetings. The average yards per carry for

1315
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: him has been a full yard below his career average.

1316
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: It's three point nine. His career average is four point nine.

1317
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: We know that Sean stresses the fundamentals, tackling, etc. Flying

1318
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: to the football, all of that. What can change that

1319
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 1: narrative for Tennessee. Is it getting those two wideouts on

1320
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: the field and forcing them to kind of cover all

1321
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: their bases and not focus so much on Derek. What

1322
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: what is Tennessee gonna need to do to be able

1323
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: to ride Derek more successfully against these Bills and maybe

1324
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: the last three times. Yeah, well, you know what I

1325
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: think everybody, you know, everybody tries to stack the box

1326
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. Everybody tries to play eight man fronts. Everybody

1327
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: says that, you know what, we're going to really focus

1328
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 1: on stopping the run. He's he's been facing that his

1329
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 1: whole career, and he is still gash teams. So it's

1330
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: not it's not so much about um, it's not so

1331
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: much about having, you know, stack boxes against this team

1332
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: that automatically is going to guarantee you that you stole

1333
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: them down. It's really it is about fundamental play. It's

1334
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 1: about block control, hand and hat placement, gap control, not

1335
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,799
Speaker 1: getting caught on the wrong side of blocks, not playing

1336
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's about not playing skinny, but playing square,

1337
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: playing wide. So there aren't scenes, especially when he runs

1338
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: when he runs what they call that wide zone where

1339
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: you see him start very well light out towards the

1340
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: tackle and then just get it vertical, because what happens

1341
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:05,879
Speaker 1: is the defense get split as they're running. You laterally,

1342
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 1: people instead of playing square you see their shoulders get

1343
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: turned like this and then all of a sudden holes

1344
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: open up, and then you see this tractor trailer coming

1345
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 1: downhill on. Buffalo has a bunch of players who are

1346
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 1: good at making sure that they don't play it that way,

1347
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 1: that they don't get turned, that they play square shoulder,

1348
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: they control blocks, they have linebackers that can run and hit,

1349
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: they have safeties that can run and hit, and yeah,

1350
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be aware of the fact that

1351
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: they could also as they're sitting there giving you a

1352
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: steady dieta that they could pull it and run, play

1353
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: action and hit Julio or aj and that could you know,

1354
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: and we know the quickest way to lose games in

1355
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 1: the NFL's chunk plays big explosives up over the top

1356
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: of you, so they'll have to be aware of that too.

1357
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: But look, this is what you sign up for as

1358
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: a defense, and obviously they know how to get it

1359
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: done because they've gotten it done against this team before.

1360
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: They just need to continue to follow that blueprint and

1361
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: play that Way again, and make sure play square shoulder,

1362
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: get off blocks, make sure you're taking care of your

1363
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: gap when it's play action. Make sure you're reading your keys.

1364
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: Don't get so dialed into Derek that you know, Mica

1365
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: and Jordan are going as soon as Ryan Tannehill looks

1366
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 1: like he's gonna hand that ball up and he shows

1367
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: it to Derek that you're flying downhill, and then he

1368
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: pulls it. The next thing, you know, folios behind you. Yeah,

1369
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: it's funny. I always mentioned that that kind of play

1370
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 1: action sequence because when I played for the Raiders and

1371
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: we used to play Denver, that was John Elway and

1372
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: Terrell Davis and they sports me on that like the

1373
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: second play of the game. I remember Terrell Davis. That's

1374
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: a year he rans for two thousand yards and here

1375
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 1: I was as a safety thing. I gotta get down

1376
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: here and smack Terrell Davis and they're went rock Smith

1377
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: soon right behind me. It's art tissue. Yeah, it's like

1378
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 1: PTSD for me, man, but it's a it's it's cool.

1379
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a great challenge. Buffalo be up

1380
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: for the challenge. They will be. They know what they've

1381
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 1: got to do. They know that twenty two was a

1382
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: must as far as slowing him down, and as you've

1383
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: already laid out, they've done it before. They know what

1384
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 1: they know what to do to get it though, right Lewis,

1385
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: listen as always, thanks for the time. Be on the

1386
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 1: lookout for Bill's mafia. The word is they are going

1387
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: to travel big to this one and Titans fans, I

1388
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,719
Speaker 1: don't know why they're selling their tickets on the secondhand market,

1389
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: So look for a lot of different red, white and

1390
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: blue in there, not the sky blue of the Titans.

1391
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: They're going to be well represented. Awesome. I can't wait.

1392
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,599
Speaker 1: All right, that's Lewis Riddick ESPN Monday Night Football color

Speaker 1: a Bill's victory over the Titans tonight? You can hit

1415

1417
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: Bills Live to let us know what you think. We

1418
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: go back to the tweet sheet though, and Seth says,

1419
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: limit Henry's production, get to tan Hill early and often

1420
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 1: to force turnovers and let seventeen do his things. Should

1421
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 1: be able to run it up on these Jabbronis get

1422
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: into the bottom. We helding and strong, Let's go buffalo.

1423
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: The jabronis okay, yeah, limit yeah, limit Henry's production and

1424
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: gets to Tannehill Hill early and often. Yeah, okay that's yeah.

1425
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: That's easy than done. Yeah, simple, but not easy. Is

1426
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: to use a Marv levyism, it's the guy's big and

1427
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: he's fast, and we were talking about it. I love

1428
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:32,599
Speaker 1: the way you put this. By the way you should

1429
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 1: tell our listening on him. I used to say it

1430
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 1: from the booth, the guys, he's if you're big enough

1431
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: to tackle Derrick Henry, you're not fast enough to catch

1432
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: up to him. And if you're fast enough to catch

1433
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: up to him, you're not big enough to tackle him. Yeah,

1434
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 1: tough matchup. So you gotta get two hats on him.

1435
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: You gotta get a lot of people swarming to him,

1436
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: and you got to know that he's gonna get the ball,

1437
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: and you know they're they've got a running game. That's

1438
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: that's really really tough to stop, really tough to stop.

1439
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: He has been worked heavily through the first five games

1440
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: of the season for the Titans. He is averaging more

1441
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: than twenty eight carries per game, which puts him on

1442
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 1: pace in a seventeen game season for four hundred and

1443
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: eighty two carries this year. That's insane. I think that's

1444
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: might set a record. That is insane. Yeah, that's pretty crazy.

1445
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: Four hundred and we're talking about receptions here. It is

1446
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: a and you got to tip your hat to the guy.

1447
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 1: Everybody knows he's a great back and he's probably, in

1448
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: my mind, the best running back in the league. That

1449
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: is a particularly brutal, punishing, difficult, tortuous way to make

1450
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: a living. You got you just gotta know that you're

1451
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna get pounded on every single play you carry the ball,

1452
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: and you got to think about that, that that's your job,

1453
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: and think about how difficult it would be just to

1454
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: line up and do that every game. I go back

1455
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,640
Speaker 1: and watch old games every so often. I haven't done

1456
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: it for a while, but I remember after a few

1457
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 1: years out of the league, I went back and watched

1458
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: some of the games that Thurman had during his career,

1459
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my gosh, what a what

1460
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: it's punishing, punishing, And you know, Derreck Henry's doing the

1461
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, you just get pounded on play

1462
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: after play after play, game after game after game, and

1463
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 1: the more you have it, and the more opportunities you get,

1464
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: the more the defenses come after you, the more they

1465
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: do to make it even tougher on you. And for

1466
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 1: him to have his carries and the number of carries

1467
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: he's getting go up and up and up, it's just

1468
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: it's a snowball rolling downhill. I mean, it's just, oh,

1469
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: my goodness, gracious. And to have him hope to have

1470
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: having done the stuff he has done since he came

1471
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: in the league is just an absolute testament to how

1472
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: good he is, how big he is. It's crazy because

1473
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: he's so tall and long and angular. He never looks

1474
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 1: like he's moving fast. He's just out. He gets the

1475
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,679
Speaker 1: angle on defensive backs and they can't care. He's long legged,

1476
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, and and he's got quick turnover. And that's

1477
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: just the thing. When you're you see your legs going

1478
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: to him going down the sidelines. His legs are moving

1479
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: pretty good, but they're also really long, so he covers

1480
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 1: ground like nobody. It's very deceptive. Watching him on television,

1481
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: You're like, ah, all right, he's running, Oh wow, yeah,

1482
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 1: is anybody gonna get it? Oh my god, he's in

1483
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 1: the end zone, Like, yeah, nobody caught him. How did

1484
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: that happen? It's crazy. So it's gonna be tough. So yeah,

1485
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 1: you can say, hey, you know, contain Henry, you know,

1486
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: hold him down and then let you know, give it

1487
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 1: to Tannehill, let him try and win it kind of things. Well,

1488
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: that's what you want to do, right, it's great, it

1489
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: sounds great, fairly simple. But man, oh man, gonna give

1490
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: him the ball and you're gonna have and and I

1491
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 1: said this too. The old adage is, whow he's better

1492
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, he gets stronger in the fourth quarter.

1493
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not what happens, folks when they say

1494
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: this running back gets better in the fourth quarter and

1495
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,679
Speaker 1: all that, That ain't what happens. What happens is they've

1496
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: given him the ball so many times over the first

1497
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:23,799
Speaker 1: three quarters that I'm telling you, the defenders get sick

1498
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: of tackling him. They start to get to the point where, man,

1499
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 1: I don't want to take another knee of the side,

1500
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, throwing myself into into his legs and getting

1501
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: trampled under the wheels of the chariot here. You know,

1502
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: you just get sick to death of doing it. So

1503
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: they start to shy away from it, they start to

1504
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: try and arm tackle him and wrestle him down rather

1505
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: than lay lay a hit on it. That's why these

1506
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 1: guys look like they get better in the fourth quarter,

1507
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 1: because they absolutely give the defense the idea that they

1508
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: ain't letting up there. You're gonna have to hit him

1509
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:56,560
Speaker 1: and get hard as hard as you did in the

1510
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 1: first quarter, you're gonna have to do it in the

1511
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and a lot of defenders are like, I

1512
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: hope somebody else is there to make that tackle before

1513
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: I have to, and then you start making some hay

1514
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,759
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Against the Bills, his success has

1515
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:12,879
Speaker 1: been a bit less productive. He's played the Bills three times.

1516
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: He's never reached eighty yards rushing in any of those games.

1517
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: His best day was in the twenty nineteen game of

1518
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: fourteen seven Bills victory, where he had twenty carries for

1519
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: seventy eight yards. His career yards per carry average is

1520
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 1: right around four point nine. Against the Bills, he has

1521
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: averaged three point eight two yards per carry, and his

1522
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 1: three appearances against Buffalo, which has been each of the

1523
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: last three seasons twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen. Yeah, so they've

1524
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: done pretty well against him. All things considered, and I

1525
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: would like to think, knowing how beat up the left

1526
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 1: side of that offensive line is for Tennessee, that Buffalo

1527
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 1: has an advantage coming in a healthier bunch on their

1528
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: defensive front than the Titans are on the offensive front. Yeah,

1529
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,600
Speaker 1: and I mean I know this too, arts there. We

1530
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 1: don't really talk about it too much. We tend to

1531
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: talk about players, and well we should, but you know, Leslie, Frasier,

1532
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball are going to have some things in

1533
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: the offense and defensive game plan that are focused on

1534
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 1: what the Titans do and what they do well. So

1535
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,839
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see if the players can execute

1536
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: those and how much of an art it's going to

1537
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 1: be for them to call the right pressures and anticipate

1538
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: what they might see from this Tennessee offense. Bill's Chick

1539
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says Alan needs to continue to

1540
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives him. Can't be looking for

1541
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 1: the home run ball every play. That's how we lost

1542
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,679
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. Defense has to play within the game plan

1543
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 1: and just keep balling, which I think is an indication

1544
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 1: similar to that of the players. We got to take

1545
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: care of what we do and if we do that

1546
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 1: and execute at a level we're capable of, we should

1547
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: win the football game. And that's what the Tennessee is

1548
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 1: saying about themselves. Well true, and that's that's where it

1549
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: comes down to. I think when you come out, we

1550
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: have seen teams and I've said this before, I noticed

1551
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: this a lot last year, particularly when the Bills well

1552
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 1: two years. For the last two years and into this

1553
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: year as well, teams have most of their success early

1554
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 1: in games. And that's a testament to the Bills coaching staff.

1555
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: Once they get a handle on what that team thinks

1556
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: about what the Bills are doing, they shore it up

1557
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 1: pretty quick and it goes away pretty fast. So I

1558
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: think if you if you're gonna watch this game as

1559
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: with a critical eye as boat with both teams, watch

1560
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: from the very beginning, watch right that first series when

1561
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee's offense comes out, and get an idea what the

1562
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 1: Bills are going to do, because if they come out

1563
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: and have make some hay in that first drive, all

1564
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: is not lost. I will say this though, if they

1565
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 1: don't do that in the first drive, it's gonna be

1566
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: a long night. It's gonna be a long night for

1567
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee because that means the Bills have already got a

1568
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 1: handle on what you do and what you do well.

1569
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 1: If you don't and I don't know that, and here's

1570
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 1: my thought, I don't know now Julio Jones and A. J.

1571
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: Brown aside, I don't know that Tennessee's offense is as

1572
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 1: versatile as the Bills offense. Where they'll hand it off,

1573
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: or they'll throw the short pass, screen pad, they'll spread out,

1574
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: they'll get into tight you know, they'll the Bill's offense

1575
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: is really versatile because the matchups they like to get.

1576
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can say that about Tennessee's offense.

1577
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: I think if you've got Derrick Henry and your play

1578
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 1: action and that's what you do well, I think they'll

1579
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 1: struggle if the Bills force them into doing something other

1580
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 1: than what they're good at. Yeah, I would. I think

1581
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 1: if they if they can't have success doing what they

1582
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 1: do early on, I don't think they've got another type

1583
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: of offense to go to. Yeah, I know what you're saying.

1584
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 1: I think that Todd downing the new OC for them

1585
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: with Arthur Smith now head coach in Atlanta, that I

1586
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 1: think he's gonna dial up a shot play somewhere on

1587
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: the first series if it goes more than three and out,

1588
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: just to try to loosen them up a little bit

1589
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 1: so they're not just you know, filling up the box

1590
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: for Henry, which you know they don't play a lot

1591
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: of single safety high anyway. I would anticipate that they

1592
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 1: got to do something to back people take. Yeah, and

1593
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, That's what Brian day Ball would do. Yeah,

1594
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 1: that's what day Ball would come in. He would spread

1595
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 1: it out and throw it five straight times. You know,

1596
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: if the thought that's what they were doing. Yeah, and

1597
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see if the Titans come up with

1598
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 1: something like that to kind of pry the lid off

1599
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense. Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't rule it out.

1600
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Bills have given up one play over twenty in the

1601
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: passing game this year, so they've been pretty disciplined in

1602
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: preventing it. So we'll see where it goes. Break time

1603
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: for us here when we come back. More of your

1604
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet, and don't forget coming up

1605
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: third hour the show. Bills radio color commentator Eric Wood

1606
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 1: joining us for our number three from Nashville. Back in

1607
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: a moment here on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned, Welcome

1608
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 1: back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

1609
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 1: and I wanted to take a moment in this short

1610
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,839
Speaker 1: segment Steve to revisit our good friends down in Miami

1611
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Steve take a trip across the pond to

1612
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: London and gift rep the first win for the Jacksonville

1613
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars franchise in twenty games and the first head coaching

1614
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: win for one Urban Meyer. Dolphins lose on a fifty

1615
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: three yard field goal at the gun, and the Dolphins

1616
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 1: now have a record equivalent to that of the team

1617
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: that just beat them, the Jaguars, of one in five.

1618
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: How close are we to the wheels coming off for

1619
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins? Yeah, I think they're pretty close. I think

1620
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 1: that was a bad loss, really bad, really really bad loss.

1621
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 1: And I not that I didn't enjoy it. I did.

1622
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: The Dolphins lost, the Patriots lost. The Jets are on

1623
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 1: the by, right, the Jets are They didn't play this man,

1624
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 1: believe they didn't play this week. Yeah, they're on the by,

1625
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 1: so you know they escaped. But this is I mean,

1626
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 1: you look at Miami is fourteenth out of sixteen teams.

1627
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: They're ahead of Houston and Jacksonville and the Jets are thirteenth.

1628
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:59,919
Speaker 1: So it's the Jets at thirteenth in the AFC, Miami

1629
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 1: at fourteenth in the AFC, and behind them are Houston

1630
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. And now New England went to two and

1631
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 1: four last night, they're eleventh. Yeah, the division is I mean,

1632
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: if the Bills go five and one, that will give

1633
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: them a three game lead in the division. And Steve

1634
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 1: we talked extensively in the spring about the first five

1635
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: games being a gauntlet of a schedule for Miami and

1636
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 1: that they were probably coming out of that one and four.

1637
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 1: They were, and they did, but then the schedule got

1638
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 1: considerably softer, with the exception of Buffalo coming up in

1639
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:47,800
Speaker 1: two weeks, and they lose to the Jaguars. Yeah, that's

1640
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:50,719
Speaker 1: it's bad. I think it's just a really really strong

1641
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 1: indication of a wayward franchise that doesn't have a true

1642
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 1: vision as to what they want to be. I talked

1643
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:01,720
Speaker 1: about their defensive the errors of their ways. In terms

1644
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: of their defensive philosophy. They want to play man to

1645
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:07,840
Speaker 1: man coverage across the board almost nine percent of the time,

1646
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 1: and they have no pass rush to support it. Although

1647
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: they're finally getting Jalen Phillips up on the line of

1648
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,680
Speaker 1: scrimmage more to rush the passer. It totally took him

1649
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 1: a month and a half to figure that out. That's

1650
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 1: all that guy does. He can't cover. He's six foot six,

1651
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:27,760
Speaker 1: he's too long, he can't play in reverse. Get him

1652
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:29,479
Speaker 1: up on the line. You're better off making him a

1653
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: five technique than you are putting him in an outside

1654
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 1: linebacker position and asking him to cover in the flat.

1655
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: My god, I get it, and yeah, it's bad. You

1656
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 1: and I called it. I mean, I'm just going to

1657
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:41,760
Speaker 1: go on record. We told people that the Dolphins are

1658
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 1: going to be one thing. I didn't think they were

1659
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:46,800
Speaker 1: going to lose to Jacksonville, but I think they're They're

1660
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,719
Speaker 1: on a slide that is almost irreversible. Now. Certainly Tuah

1661
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 1: getting hurt in the Bills game didn't help. He's been

1662
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: out since until yesterday. But you knew that that was

1663
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a gauntlet of games. And now even now,

1664
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Colts don't look well. The Colts

1665
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 1: certainly don't look like that much of a juggernaut. They're

1666
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:13,680
Speaker 1: two and three. I think they climb back into it, right, yea,

1667
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 1: so two and four now or yeah, two and four

1668
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 1: are the Colts. I just we knew it was going

1669
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:26,000
Speaker 1: to happen, but I thought the schedule would bail them

1670
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: out a little bit. Yeah, after the first five weeks.

1671
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:33,839
Speaker 1: You can't lose to the Jaguars. Hasn't yet. You cannot

1672
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:36,519
Speaker 1: lose to the Jaguars. That's as close to a gimme

1673
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 1: as you'll get in the NFL. And they blew it.

1674
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 1: You're you're one and four going into that game and

1675
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 1: you lose to the worst team in the conference, who

1676
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 1: hadn't who was winless in twenty games. That's so bad,

1677
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: It's really bad. Uh. Here is an interesting thing, and

1678
01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,639
Speaker 1: I'll credit New York Upstate dot com for uncovering this.

1679
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,839
Speaker 1: So vivid Seats, which is a second hand ticket selling app.

1680
01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 1: They have an algorithm that's called fan forecast where they

1681
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:14,320
Speaker 1: break down percentages of a crowd at a particular event,

1682
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 1: and it's usually athletic contests. Sure, so they ran a

1683
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:26,880
Speaker 1: projection apparently for tonight's game between the Bills and the Titans,

1684
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 1: and it came back with a projection of more Bills

1685
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:38,120
Speaker 1: fans anticipated at the game than Titans fans. Do you

1686
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 1: want to care to guess what the forecast breakdown was percentages?

1687
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:46,520
Speaker 1: I already told you it's more than fifty fifty bills.

1688
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 1: What do you think the number is that they forecast

1689
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 1: with their algorithm, fifty eight forty two really bills two

1690
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 1: Titans fans. That is the that is what the algorithm

1691
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 1: said is from vivid seats for fan fort And they

1692
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:06,639
Speaker 1: do that by like the information that have a people

1693
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 1: who actually bought the tickets on the secondary market that

1694
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 1: like zip codes and stuff like that. Right, that's yeah,

1695
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 1: there's an algorithm zip codes or area codes on the phone,

1696
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:18,519
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Yeah, So the fifty eight percent to

1697
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:22,280
Speaker 1: forty two percent, well, here's a thing now that would

1698
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:25,600
Speaker 1: own they would only have access to the tickets on

1699
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: the secondary market. Correct, So fifty eight percent of the

1700
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:33,679
Speaker 1: tickets on the secondary market are bills fans, I'm thinking,

1701
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 1: Which means how it runs the most. That's just the

1702
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 1: secondary market. So the majority the fans will still be

1703
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee fans. But any Tennessee fans who sold their tickets

1704
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 1: on the secondary market, most of them went to bills fans.

1705
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:50,719
Speaker 1: That puts to me, you got season ticket holders probably

1706
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 1: probably in the thirty five forty thousand, maybe thirty five

1707
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:57,719
Speaker 1: to forty five thousand season ticket holders. This is saying

1708
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 1: it's used for neutral side events, can be run for

1709
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:07,519
Speaker 1: any matchup. While running the projection for I'm quoting this

1710
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:10,679
Speaker 1: from New York upstate dot com. When running the projection

1711
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,280
Speaker 1: for tonight's game between the Bills and the Titans, the

1712
01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:17,880
Speaker 1: fan forecast algorithm came back with a projection that has

1713
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of the crowd supporting the Bills, while

1714
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,799
Speaker 1: only forty two percent of the fans at Nissan Stadium

1715
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:31,280
Speaker 1: will be Titans fans in totalittality. Can you imagine that's

1716
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 1: not too aid lopsided. It's gonna be like a home game. Well,

1717
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: I know this, and I know that you know we

1718
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, I follow all these you know, all these

1719
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: people that are you know, on Twitter and all that.

1720
01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I got a bunch of follow I follow

1721
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of people. And the whole timeline has been

1722
01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:53,040
Speaker 1: panoramic shots of downtown Broadway in Nashville last night, every

1723
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 1: bar in Nashville last night, and it's all about the Bills.

1724
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 1: The plane rides going down there. We've talked about that

1725
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,639
Speaker 1: early in the show. There are a ton of people

1726
01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 1: who made this a destination trip for their road game

1727
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 1: of the year that they wanted to go to. So

1728
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. It will be very interesting tonight to

1729
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,559
Speaker 1: see that. Yeah, be great to see what the breakdown is.

1730
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,440
Speaker 1: And I think we'll know because it'll be audible on television.

1731
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,479
Speaker 1: Who's got the benefit of the crowd support? Break time

1732
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 1: for us because when we come back, it's time for

1733
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Eric Wood to join us live from Nashville to let

1734
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,040
Speaker 1: us know what he thinks about that percentage from the algorithm.

1735
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 1: Maybe he's seen up close and personal just how many

1736
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 1: people have descended upon Nashville from Western New York and

1737
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 1: other parts unknown wearing Bills red, white and blue. We'll

1738
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 1: talk to Eric next here on One Bill's Live, presented

1739
01:35:43,120 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Now at

1740
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:05,240
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field

1741
01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:07,479
Speaker 1: unique he was kind of a dual role player for

1742
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:13,600
Speaker 1: you state Steve a blimp. We're not even in the

1743
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:19,800
Speaker 1: straded beer of normalcy, all right, Welcome to our number

1744
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 1: three here on a Bills Football Monday, an extended pregame

1745
01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 1: show in advance of tonight's Monday night tilt between the

1746
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 1: Bills and the Titans, and joining us from Nashville, which

1747
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 1: has been besieged by Western New Yorkers, maybe half of

1748
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:38,720
Speaker 1: Erie County and other Bills fans from parts unknown is

1749
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 1: one Eric Wood and Eric I have to ask you

1750
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 1: based on your out in the field research the last

1751
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:51,640
Speaker 1: day plus, there's a report from vivid Seats, a secondhand

1752
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:56,720
Speaker 1: ticket seller. They run an algorithm called fan Forecast, and

1753
01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:01,640
Speaker 1: for tonight's game, their algorithm has spit out an anticipated

1754
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:08,719
Speaker 1: crowd fifty eight percent Bills fans, forty two percent Titans fans.

1755
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 1: Would you be shocked based on what you've seen in

1756
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 1: the streets of Nashville over the last twenty four hours

1757
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:19,759
Speaker 1: plus if that was in fact the case tonight, Honestly,

1758
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 1: I would bet it was closer to sixty five percent

1759
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,759
Speaker 1: of the Stadumba Bills fans. I mean, it's unbelievable. Everywhere

1760
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:33,200
Speaker 1: you go, there's Bills fans absolutely everywhere, constant shout songs,

1761
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 1: every artist is playing it on stages. It's quite the scene.

1762
01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 1: I was walking around. I did an appearance for Twin

1763
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 1: Spiders at the Bills Backers Bar here in Nashville yesterday

1764
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:49,479
Speaker 1: and It's untruly unbelievable the amount of Bills fans that

1765
01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 1: are here. Yeah, and I know that certainly, Nashville over

1766
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:57,080
Speaker 1: the last maybe decade or so has become the destin eight,

1767
01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 1: one of the destination cities in the NFL. You get

1768
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 1: teams that, you know, fans that come in there. It's

1769
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 1: become a great tourist attraction, you know, music city and

1770
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 1: all of that going on, and Bills fans have It's

1771
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:11,360
Speaker 1: become a regular thing. Because the Titans finish at the

1772
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:13,840
Speaker 1: right spot in their division. The Bills finish at the

1773
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:15,840
Speaker 1: right spot in their division. They play every year. In

1774
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:18,519
Speaker 1: the last couple of two or three have all been

1775
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, So now it's a little bit of a

1776
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:24,400
Speaker 1: route team. What do you notice also about you know,

1777
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 1: when you get to a point where you've played this team,

1778
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:30,920
Speaker 1: not a division like, not twice a year, but every

1779
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: year there does seem to be get you get a

1780
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 1: little bit familiar with the stadium, the hotel, the team.

1781
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:39,639
Speaker 1: It becomes a little bit more routine and a little

1782
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 1: bit more comfortable, definitely, And you know as well as

1783
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: I do Steve that that that plays a factor when

1784
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:48,839
Speaker 1: you're used to traveling somewhere. It's not a far commute

1785
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: for the Bills. You know, on their charter it's probably

1786
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:53,160
Speaker 1: a little bit over an hour to get here. You

1787
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: know that it's not going to be that hostile of

1788
01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: an environment because there's gonna be so many Bills fans, inns,

1789
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:02,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I had a conversation with someone last night.

1790
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:06,639
Speaker 1: It's it's a big combination of things. With the Titans. One,

1791
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, they haven't been around that long Nashville. There's

1792
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:12,919
Speaker 1: over one hundred new families a day moving to Nashville,

1793
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of people that aren't from here,

1794
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 1: and so there's not this huge allegiance of the fan

1795
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 1: base to support the team. And then you bring in

1796
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:23,840
Speaker 1: franchise like the Bills, and they're simply going to take

1797
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:26,519
Speaker 1: over the town and take over the stadium. So there's

1798
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 1: tremendous familiarity. And with this Bill seems Bill seem last

1799
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:32,839
Speaker 1: year it was such a goofy week playing the Titans.

1800
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 1: But you know, in a season where you only lose

1801
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: three times and only to two different teams, you know,

1802
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 1: this becomes a game where you really want to avenge

1803
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:44,320
Speaker 1: one of those losses from last year. It looks like

1804
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 1: Matt Milano is good to go, Taiwan Jones as well.

1805
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,160
Speaker 1: And the Titans, on the other hand, here are a

1806
01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: little nicked up. Eric Christian Fulton is not going to

1807
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 1: play one of their starting corners, which is going to

1808
01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 1: thrust rookie Caleb Farley into the lineup. Uh, they're starting

1809
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: nicol As a seventh round pick from last year Chris Jackson.

1810
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 1: Although they work molding in the other rookie, it just

1811
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:11,040
Speaker 1: looks like there is a lot on the plate of

1812
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:17,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee's young, inexperienced secondary, with the exception of Jack Rabbit Jenkins,

1813
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 1: They've got a big plate to handle tonight against this

1814
01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 1: Bill's passing attack. Oh, you're absolutely right. And when you

1815
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 1: get injuries in the secondary and you force other guys

1816
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 1: to step in, not only does that make your matchup

1817
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 1: more favorable with Fulton out, but then you're promoting these

1818
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: depth players and now they get easily in Sanders and

1819
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 1: just the cast of carry Gabe Davis, I mean, pick

1820
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,880
Speaker 1: your poison on the outside. Who are you gonna who

1821
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:52,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna put your studs on? But yeah, this

1822
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:55,800
Speaker 1: this Bill's passing attack in a stadium tonight where the

1823
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 1: weather shouldn't be a factor like last week. You'd expect

1824
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,519
Speaker 1: this Bills offense to put on a show tonight. And honestly,

1825
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 1: to me, not to look too much into the point spread,

1826
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:07,640
Speaker 1: but it's it's difficult for me to understand why it's

1827
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: only a five and a half point spread. I feel

1828
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 1: like this should I know it's a minor, but to me,

1829
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: this should be at least a seven point spread. To me,

1830
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're factoring in last year into

1831
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 1: it and that you know the Bills were rolling last

1832
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 1: year and then come to Tennessee and get stopped by

1833
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:27,160
Speaker 1: twenty six points. I don't get it, really, And maybe

1834
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 1: you guys can enlighten me and give me something for

1835
01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:32,600
Speaker 1: the broadcast, because when I look it on paper, offensively

1836
01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:35,480
Speaker 1: and defensively for the Bills, I just see tremendous matchups.

1837
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:38,559
Speaker 1: And yes, Derrick Henry is a force, but Arthur Smith

1838
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 1: not being there is a factor this year. The offensive

1839
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 1: quarter now head coach of the attic Atlanta Falcons. And

1840
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 1: then when you look at the offensive line for Tennessee,

1841
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 1: it's not what it's been the last few years. This

1842
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 1: is an offensive line that's given up twenty sacks on

1843
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 1: the season already this year. I understand Derrick Henry's a beast,

1844
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:57,559
Speaker 1: but he can't do it all himself. Yeah, and that's

1845
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. How differently these two teams

1846
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 1: come together for this game rather than last year. Last year,

1847
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 1: the scheduling debacle, um, the injury riddled defensive unit for

1848
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,840
Speaker 1: the Bills. But the Titans come into this game this year.

1849
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 1: They've got Julio Jones, they don't have John hu Smith

1850
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:17,680
Speaker 1: from last year. They've got Derrick Henry. Ryan Tannehill is

1851
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:21,679
Speaker 1: still there playing effective football. How different are these two

1852
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:24,360
Speaker 1: teams when you look at them on paper, they are

1853
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: very different than they were a year ago, particularly the

1854
01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:30,720
Speaker 1: Bills defensively. Yeah, you're exactly right, and this is a

1855
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 1: different unit. And you know, the big highlight of last

1856
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 1: year's game was the stiff arm on Josh Norman. Josh

1857
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 1: Norman's not in Buffalo anymore. M Taylor of the wand

1858
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:42,800
Speaker 1: there left tackle. He I think last week was his

1859
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:44,760
Speaker 1: best game of the season so far. But he's coming

1860
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,840
Speaker 1: off an acl from last year. You know, just a

1861
01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:50,760
Speaker 1: total new cast of characters, uh, for the for the

1862
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. And then when you look at the Buffalo Bills.

1863
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, they've just continued to build, and you know

1864
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,240
Speaker 1: what the what they've added to the defensive line, you

1865
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:03,599
Speaker 1: pretty much get a japan hasa coming off the red

1866
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:09,480
Speaker 1: shirt year. Last year you have Greg Rousseau, it Starlotule's

1867
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:11,679
Speaker 1: back in the lineup. I think that plays a factor

1868
01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 1: in stopping the run. And yeah, it's a it's a

1869
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: much different makeup when you look at the rosters for

1870
01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:21,720
Speaker 1: this year's game. Yeah, I mean last year alone, the

1871
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 1: Bills in that game defensively didn't have a start because

1872
01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:26,960
Speaker 1: he opted out, Trudevious missed the game, Malano missed the game,

1873
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:29,599
Speaker 1: and Levi missed the game. Josh Norman probably isn't even

1874
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:32,080
Speaker 1: on the field last year. If the if the Bills

1875
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,720
Speaker 1: are healthy defensively and they are coming into this one.

1876
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:39,640
Speaker 1: And the interesting thing too, is a J. Brown is

1877
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: added to the injury report on Sunday with an illness

1878
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:45,559
Speaker 1: and he's listed as questionable even if he does play. Though.

1879
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 1: Eric the General he had a very revealing comment to

1880
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:52,000
Speaker 1: the Tennessee media late last week when he said, yeah,

1881
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get my full compliment of snaps

1882
01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 1: until week ten from this staff because they're trying to

1883
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:02,439
Speaker 1: nurse his hamstring injury along. I'm assuming more than anything else,

1884
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 1: that's a factor in tonight's game. It's gotta be. Oh,

1885
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 1: it truly is, because when are you look at a

1886
01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 1: guy like a J. Brown. He's a he's a bona

1887
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 1: fide number one receiver in the NFL. But if he's

1888
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:16,800
Speaker 1: not at full strength, it becomes a lot easier to

1889
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:20,839
Speaker 1: pack the box and really dedicate all of your attention

1890
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 1: to Derek Henry where it needs to be. Yeah. So

1891
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 1: in this defensive front for the Bills, you know, looking

1892
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:28,960
Speaker 1: at Derrick Henry, Star Lutules back in the lineup, he

1893
01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:31,760
Speaker 1: wasn't there last year. And Oliver how what have you

1894
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:35,000
Speaker 1: noticed about this defense front? Certainly they've rushed the passer better.

1895
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,960
Speaker 1: What do you think the defensive game plan looks like

1896
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: tonight for the Bills? Yeah, I think it's it's pretty

1897
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:48,599
Speaker 1: much the opposite of last week. And and talk about

1898
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 1: the rush defense. I thought last week, especially at times

1899
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:53,920
Speaker 1: where you knew you were going to have to play

1900
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 1: too high, I thought the run defense was absolutely incredible.

1901
01:44:57,240 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: The way they've separated from blocks this year just looks

1902
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:04,519
Speaker 1: from years past. The intensity that the linebackers are getting

1903
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 1: downhill at I find at times, you know, Starlotula has

1904
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,519
Speaker 1: been truly a difference maker up front for the Bills,

1905
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 1: And so I think the rush defense was great last

1906
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 1: week and a lot of six man boxes, and I

1907
01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 1: think it's the opposite this week. I think it goes

1908
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:21,719
Speaker 1: not just the seven, it's a lot of eight man boxes.

1909
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna try and outnumber the Titans on each play

1910
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 1: based upon the box count, so that there's two tight

1911
01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:30,679
Speaker 1: ends in the game. You're going to have your safety

1912
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:33,320
Speaker 1: in the box. You're probably we may see more base

1913
01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:36,439
Speaker 1: personnel from the Bills than we're used to seeing, just

1914
01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:39,679
Speaker 1: because when you have a guy like Derek Henry and

1915
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:42,600
Speaker 1: you know you have a j Brown hampered you know

1916
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:46,080
Speaker 1: Julio's not lighting the world on fire this year, you

1917
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,439
Speaker 1: got you gotta dedicate all your attention to stopping Derek

1918
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:51,000
Speaker 1: Hendry because he's the one guy on the Titans that

1919
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:54,120
Speaker 1: could beat you. And then just going back to how

1920
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:56,320
Speaker 1: shorthanded the Titans are probably going to be on the

1921
01:45:56,320 --> 01:46:00,680
Speaker 1: back end defensively, are we should we just assume automatically

1922
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: they're just gonna play like cover two shell and just

1923
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 1: force the Bills to try to nickel and dime their

1924
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:07,680
Speaker 1: way down the field because they don't really have a

1925
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:12,880
Speaker 1: better approach. Yeah, and we saw that last year from

1926
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:16,400
Speaker 1: the Titans, and they played shell coverage, kept everything in

1927
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:18,880
Speaker 1: front of him, and at times Josh forced it, you know,

1928
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 1: and then you're trying to come back like the Bills

1929
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 1: were a majority of the game, and then you have

1930
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:25,479
Speaker 1: to try and force those plays down the field. But

1931
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:27,360
Speaker 1: it worked for him last year, and so they'll take

1932
01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 1: a similar game plan approach that we saw this dealers

1933
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 1: using a lot of teams have tried to do. And

1934
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: I just think ever since Week one of the season,

1935
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,760
Speaker 1: Josh has done a phenomenal job of taking what the

1936
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 1: defense has given them on each play, not necessarily trying

1937
01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:41,679
Speaker 1: to force it down the field. And then when they've

1938
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:44,200
Speaker 1: given them the opportunities, as we saw last week, Josh

1939
01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:48,799
Speaker 1: is hitting those shots down the field now and literally

1940
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 1: ever since Week one, he's hitting them at a really

1941
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:54,360
Speaker 1: high clip. Yeah. We've had this conversation though. As good

1942
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: as the Bills have played, and certainly since Week one

1943
01:46:56,439 --> 01:46:59,719
Speaker 1: they've played phenomenally, but it still feels like this offense

1944
01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:02,679
Speaker 1: has another gear that it hasn't reached. Yet they've played well,

1945
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:04,639
Speaker 1: and certainly they played put out a really good effort

1946
01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, as you might expect them to do that.

1947
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:08,679
Speaker 1: But if you've given the fact that what most Bills

1948
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 1: fans saw last year from this offense, maybe it was

1949
01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:14,120
Speaker 1: the surprise of how well they played last year, but

1950
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:17,800
Speaker 1: it still feels like this offense hasn't opened it up

1951
01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 1: and started scoring at will like it did it stretches

1952
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:22,840
Speaker 1: last year. Why do you think that is? If you

1953
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:26,959
Speaker 1: do think that, yeah, I mean, you know, the struggles

1954
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:28,600
Speaker 1: were obvious. A week one of the season, you have

1955
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 1: six holding penalties. You're just not going to have success

1956
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 1: on offense. You're sending that way too many first and twenties,

1957
01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: first and fifteens, second and twenties those that's just not

1958
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:39,760
Speaker 1: a recipe for success. Ever since then, you know, a

1959
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:41,559
Speaker 1: lot of most of the time they're playing with such

1960
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,120
Speaker 1: a big lead, they haven't had to force the ball

1961
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: down the field, and they haven't had to necessarily take

1962
01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 1: as many risks when you're you know, when you play

1963
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 1: three backup quarterbacks in a row after you knocked two

1964
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 1: out of the game, you know, the games as long

1965
01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:56,080
Speaker 1: as you don't hurt yourself. As long as you don't

1966
01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 1: self and flicked in some punishment, you're you're going to

1967
01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 1: come away with the wins. Could play more conservative, but

1968
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 1: I agree. You know, Stefan Diggs isn't getting the production

1969
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:07,640
Speaker 1: that he has last year gave Davis. I don't know

1970
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:09,719
Speaker 1: if it's the ankle or whatnot. He's been really limited.

1971
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 1: Isaam McKenzie hasn't got a ton of touches, but a

1972
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,880
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley's production obviously isn't one it was a year

1973
01:48:16,880 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 1: ago and all that should be encouraging for Bills fans.

1974
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:21,280
Speaker 1: And when you look at this roster, the fact that

1975
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:26,360
Speaker 1: you have so many playmakers that you can work the

1976
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 1: ball around each week, it could be a new guy

1977
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:31,200
Speaker 1: stepping up. And then obviously what Dawson Knox has been

1978
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:33,920
Speaker 1: doing take some of the production away from the receiver group.

1979
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 1: But man to have a tight end and the way

1980
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 1: he stepped up in year three has been huge for

1981
01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 1: this team. So far in the season, the Bills in

1982
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 1: the last three meetings Eric have done a pretty good

1983
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 1: job of holding Derrick Henry in check. His best game

1984
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:54,839
Speaker 1: was the twenty nineteen matchup, where he had twenty carries

1985
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:57,920
Speaker 1: for seventy eight yards. That's his high against the Bills

1986
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:00,840
Speaker 1: in the last three meetings. His yards carry average is

1987
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:04,679
Speaker 1: a full yard below his career average of four point nine.

1988
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:06,760
Speaker 1: In the last three games against the Bills, it's like

1989
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 1: three point eight two, and yet they run him more

1990
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:13,960
Speaker 1: than twenty eight times a game. I mean he's on

1991
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:16,840
Speaker 1: pace for four hundred eighty two carries this season. Eric,

1992
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's sustainable, even for a beast

1993
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:25,479
Speaker 1: like him. You stop him, you probably win the game,

1994
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 1: or at least you do what you've done the last

1995
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:29,599
Speaker 1: three times, you should stand a good chance of winning

1996
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 1: the game. Because it seems like they're depending on him,

1997
01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 1: maybe more than they ever have before. Yeah, yeah, they are.

1998
01:49:36,920 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 1: They are riding Derrick Henry all year so far this year,

1999
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:42,680
Speaker 1: and so when you look at it when you're the Bills, yes,

2000
01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 1: you've had success playing against him before. You need to

2001
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:50,560
Speaker 1: continue doing it. Last year, actually, Ryan Tannehill, him scrambling

2002
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 1: was part of the biggest issue, Ryan Tannehill using his legs.

2003
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 1: But when you look at Derrick Henry, I mean he's

2004
01:49:57,320 --> 01:50:00,640
Speaker 1: my size, he's six three, six four, he's listen at

2005
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:03,600
Speaker 1: two forty seven. We're essentially the same size. When I

2006
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:07,599
Speaker 1: think about a running back coming downhill, that becomes really

2007
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 1: intimidating for a defense. So it becomes crucial that everyone

2008
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:13,840
Speaker 1: stays in your gaps. And then obviously with bigger running backs,

2009
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:16,800
Speaker 1: if you can get them to stutter, to reverse course

2010
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:19,720
Speaker 1: and not simply go straight downhill, that's always going to

2011
01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 1: give you better success. But so for the Bills, I

2012
01:50:22,120 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 1: think Star has done a great job this year penetrating

2013
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: into the backfield. Defensive ends have done a great job

2014
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:30,320
Speaker 1: containing the edge at times this year at Oliver has

2015
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 1: popped on film with his get off and his penetration.

2016
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 1: And so the more you can have some penetration in

2017
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:39,080
Speaker 1: the backfield and not let him get seven yards of

2018
01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:42,559
Speaker 1: steam coming downhill before you make contact with them, that

2019
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 1: will benefit the Bills. Give us your idea. And before

2020
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 1: we go here about Leslie Frazier and Brian Dable, what

2021
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,439
Speaker 1: is the foremost concern? What are they gonna do during

2022
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:57,640
Speaker 1: game to you know, to give them each side of

2023
01:50:57,680 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, what lies in it for them?

2024
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 1: Is this game unfold? Certainly it's all about Derrick Henry

2025
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:05,120
Speaker 1: defensively for the Bills and and for offensively. You think

2026
01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:06,680
Speaker 1: and this is a game, This is a team that

2027
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 1: is going to struggle defensively against US. What about these

2028
01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:12,880
Speaker 1: two coordinators, Frasier and Dayble, What do you think is

2029
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 1: you know what are you looking for them from? From

2030
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:19,559
Speaker 1: them tonight? Yeah? I mean the Bill say it all

2031
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:22,280
Speaker 1: the time, Shian McDermott, Lessie Frasier. They always talk about defensively,

2032
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 1: the Bills want to make the other team one dimensional.

2033
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:27,920
Speaker 1: So whether that's taken away their pass or take away

2034
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:30,519
Speaker 1: their run, they want to make teams one dimensional, take

2035
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 1: away what they do best. Obviously, Tennessee top five rushing

2036
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,080
Speaker 1: attack in the league, top three, I believe, best running

2037
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 1: back in the NFL. They're going to devote a lot

2038
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 1: of attention to getting them in second and long, third

2039
01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:43,280
Speaker 1: and long, try and take Derrick Henry out of the

2040
01:51:43,320 --> 01:51:45,840
Speaker 1: game as much as they can, and then if you

2041
01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:49,280
Speaker 1: could stop the run on early downs, the Tennessee Titans

2042
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 1: have proven that you can get to the quarterback based

2043
01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:55,719
Speaker 1: upon their offensive line player this year, So it's stopping

2044
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 1: the run on early downs. I think at times tonight

2045
01:51:59,439 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 1: you'll see Micah Hide, Jordan Poyer, Terren Johnson fire off

2046
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:07,040
Speaker 1: the edges. But we saw the Bills do that the

2047
01:52:07,080 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 1: Miami a good amount. I think you'll you'll see those

2048
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 1: guys come off the edge some designed run blitzes. And

2049
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 1: then offensively, for the Bills, you're gonna try and stay balanced.

2050
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 1: And you know, any team playing the Bills, especially when

2051
01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:21,519
Speaker 1: you have a rushing attack like the Titans, you're gonna

2052
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:25,960
Speaker 1: try and play keep away, even if the Bills you know,

2053
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,639
Speaker 1: aren't at the same clip last year with offensive production

2054
01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:31,679
Speaker 1: the NFL, everyone in the league knows how many weapons

2055
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 1: as Bills offense has, they'll try and play keep away.

2056
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 1: But for the Bills, it's just continue to stay balanced.

2057
01:52:36,160 --> 01:52:38,240
Speaker 1: And I thought, I think they've done just a remarkable

2058
01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:41,760
Speaker 1: job this year. Their yards per carry is improved. And

2059
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 1: when Sean mcderban and Brandon being both said hey, we

2060
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:47,200
Speaker 1: got to get this run game improved, it wasn't necessarily

2061
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: we want to become a run based offensive game again.

2062
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 1: It's getting that yards per carry up and the Bills

2063
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 1: have done it so far this season, sitting at where

2064
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 1: they right now four and a half yards of carry,

2065
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 1: top ten in the league. So they've done that, and

2066
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:02,040
Speaker 1: I think tonight is a game where you can you

2067
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,760
Speaker 1: can stay balanced, take your shots down the field when

2068
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:07,759
Speaker 1: you get them, and as Chris brought up first and foremost,

2069
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 1: this is a secondary you could take advantage of. Yeah,

2070
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:12,519
Speaker 1: no question about it. Eric, thanks very much for the time.

2071
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:15,599
Speaker 1: Rest that voice for the broadcast. I will catch up

2072
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 1: with you on radio pre game when we hit the

2073
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 1: roundtable at six. Thanks Eric. Sounds good all. That's Eric

2074
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:25,679
Speaker 1: Wood joining us here on one Bills Live to break

2075
01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: down the game from Nashville and Steve, I know I

2076
01:53:29,479 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you this, but I'm going to

2077
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:33,639
Speaker 1: roll these at you anyway. Okay. After the Week one

2078
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 1: loss to the Steelers. Since then, the Bills are four

2079
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:44,160
Speaker 1: and oh, as we know, thirty nine points per game,

2080
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 1: ten point three points per game allowed, and an average

2081
01:53:49,320 --> 01:53:53,920
Speaker 1: margin of victory of twenty eight point eight. All of

2082
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:58,040
Speaker 1: those numbers are best in the NFL over the past

2083
01:53:58,080 --> 01:54:02,040
Speaker 1: four weeks. Well, you're not going to continue that unless

2084
01:54:02,040 --> 01:54:05,680
Speaker 1: you play well. True, we've seen this team and that's

2085
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:10,040
Speaker 1: what they're really fighting against. You gotta have basically, Yeah,

2086
01:54:10,080 --> 01:54:12,960
Speaker 1: it's they've got. Now. Certainly the Titans are going to

2087
01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:14,479
Speaker 1: have something to say about it, no question. And the

2088
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 1: matchups the Titans present are different than anything I think

2089
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:20,800
Speaker 1: that the Bills have faced so far this year, So

2090
01:54:20,920 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 1: we don't you know, they got a challenge that an

2091
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 1: unfamiliar challenge they've got to address. They've done well in

2092
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:30,680
Speaker 1: the past at that. But they also, let's if they

2093
01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:36,120
Speaker 1: play well, think about the challenges this team brings to

2094
01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:40,360
Speaker 1: the table well on the outside. Offensively, their quarterback, their

2095
01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:43,280
Speaker 1: running game, the offensive line over the last two weeks

2096
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:45,240
Speaker 1: has found itself. And now as they'll be the third

2097
01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:48,320
Speaker 1: week in a row, they start these five guys. Their

2098
01:54:48,400 --> 01:54:52,800
Speaker 1: roster is completely healthy, and they have got to feel

2099
01:54:52,840 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 1: on their side of the ball. They really haven't taken

2100
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,040
Speaker 1: the lid off like they did last year. And I said,

2101
01:54:57,040 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: and certainly not for a long stretches, but there were

2102
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:02,520
Speaker 1: stretches like the Rams game, in the Seattle Seahawks game,

2103
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:08,840
Speaker 1: the Takers game, they could not be stopped. They were

2104
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:14,280
Speaker 1: plowing through those teams like they were on air. They

2105
01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:18,520
Speaker 1: were they were going against nobody. They couldn't They were unbelievable.

2106
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:20,240
Speaker 1: It was. It was an amazing thing to watch. They

2107
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:23,040
Speaker 1: haven't done that this year at any stretch. Yeah, and

2108
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:27,480
Speaker 1: so they've got something they're searching for offensively still eating it.

2109
01:55:27,520 --> 01:55:29,600
Speaker 1: So that's their challenge as well. But this is a

2110
01:55:29,640 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 1: team in Buffalo that it is about them. They they're

2111
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:34,400
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and know and they know that

2112
01:55:34,480 --> 01:55:36,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a challenge against Tennessee. They're not gonna

2113
01:55:36,440 --> 01:55:37,640
Speaker 1: just go out there and rule out there and win.

2114
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:39,680
Speaker 1: But they know this. If they do what they're supposed

2115
01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:43,080
Speaker 1: to do, this Tennessee team should not be able to

2116
01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:45,600
Speaker 1: beat him. And that's a it's a different place to

2117
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:49,760
Speaker 1: be mentally than they've been in a while. The most

2118
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 1: that's where they're at. Yeah, the most interesting matchup is

2119
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:55,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo's run defense, which has been good not only in

2120
01:55:55,880 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 1: the past against Henry specifically, but this season. So right now,

2121
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:03,400
Speaker 1: as you heard Eric mentioned their third in the league

2122
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:06,760
Speaker 1: in run defense, they're only giving up a little over

2123
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:09,400
Speaker 1: seventy eight yards on the ground per game. That's due

2124
01:56:09,400 --> 01:56:11,800
Speaker 1: in part to the fact that they've gotten up on

2125
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 1: teams as well and put them in throw mode, so

2126
01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 1: they're not running as much. So the running yards are

2127
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:20,960
Speaker 1: down against the Bills too for that reason, but they

2128
01:56:20,960 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 1: have not allowed fifty rushing yards or more to any

2129
01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 1: one running back this season. The person with the most

2130
01:56:27,320 --> 01:56:30,280
Speaker 1: rushing yards against the Bills in a football game was

2131
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:33,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes last week running around for sixty one yards.

2132
01:56:33,520 --> 01:56:35,520
Speaker 1: He's got the most rushing yards against them in a

2133
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 1: single game this sea think about it. I think the

2134
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:39,560
Speaker 1: Bills can feel confident they're gonna be able to put

2135
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:42,960
Speaker 1: a dent in the production of of Derek Henry. But

2136
01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:47,640
Speaker 1: like Derek's like Eric said in the last segment last year,

2137
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:50,160
Speaker 1: that's not what killed him. Tannehill killed him when he

2138
01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:52,560
Speaker 1: was running. Yeah, they gotta have a player. Good point.

2139
01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:55,240
Speaker 1: They'll have a plan for that tonight. They'll have seen

2140
01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 1: that and say, listen, we're gonna do this, and if

2141
01:56:57,880 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 1: Tannehill wants to run, we're gonna have We're gonna have

2142
01:56:59,880 --> 01:57:02,240
Speaker 1: an answer for that. You should have an answer for that.

2143
01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:05,960
Speaker 1: It starts with Henry, and I think what it comes

2144
01:57:05,960 --> 01:57:10,080
Speaker 1: down to is this just beg the Titans to have

2145
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:13,839
Speaker 1: Tannehill throw the football. Not that they doesn't have weapons

2146
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:16,480
Speaker 1: nothing again, but that's not what they do best. They

2147
01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 1: may make some plays against you, but you can't let

2148
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:21,680
Speaker 1: Tannehill be running around back. They're liking that because he's

2149
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:24,320
Speaker 1: an athlete. He is and that and you don't want

2150
01:57:24,400 --> 01:57:28,080
Speaker 1: him saying on a third and six getting seven on

2151
01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 1: a third and eight, getting nine with his legs. Does

2152
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:36,000
Speaker 1: that mean discipline rush lanes too, or having somebody come

2153
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:38,480
Speaker 1: laid off the edge, Like if they're gonna run fake

2154
01:57:38,920 --> 01:57:41,760
Speaker 1: on early downs, you gotta have somebody coming off the edge,

2155
01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:45,360
Speaker 1: and you're gonna if the play goes the other way,

2156
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:48,280
Speaker 1: you've got Tannehill. Don't get caught up running and chasing

2157
01:57:48,320 --> 01:57:52,760
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Make sure Tannehill doesn't boot you know, make

2158
01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:55,560
Speaker 1: sure he doesn't do that. Trust the run defense on

2159
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:57,080
Speaker 1: that side to make the play. It's supposed to make.

2160
01:57:57,120 --> 01:57:59,120
Speaker 1: You do what you're supposed to do. Stay disciplined and

2161
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:01,360
Speaker 1: follow Henry on the if you get guys doing that,

2162
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:04,480
Speaker 1: because then the Titans, you know, I mean they're gonna

2163
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:06,320
Speaker 1: do what they do too. I mean they're gonna say, listen,

2164
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:08,800
Speaker 1: they're running off the edge and they're the bootleg is

2165
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:10,840
Speaker 1: there that kind of thing, and Tannehill, the rush lanes

2166
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 1: are there. Whatever. So I think you've got to make

2167
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:16,560
Speaker 1: sure Tanniell has to throw it and throw it on

2168
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:19,240
Speaker 1: time and don't let him out. So if you can

2169
01:58:19,320 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 1: get there quick with discipline rush lanes, good luck with

2170
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 1: that because it's usually not possible against an NFL offensive line.

2171
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:27,560
Speaker 1: So as we mentioned the Bills are third in the

2172
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:30,480
Speaker 1: league against the run. They're given up just over seventy

2173
01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 1: eight yards on the ground per game. Derrick Henry has

2174
01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:37,600
Speaker 1: faced a top three run defense four times since twenty nineteen.

2175
01:58:38,640 --> 01:58:41,560
Speaker 1: He's averaged almost one hundred and eight yards rushing per

2176
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:46,480
Speaker 1: game with four rushing touchdowns in those four games, and

2177
01:58:46,600 --> 01:58:50,800
Speaker 1: his average yards per carry five point three when facing

2178
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:53,760
Speaker 1: top three run defense is the last three years. So

2179
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:56,440
Speaker 1: just because you got a good run defense doesn't mean

2180
01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 1: it's all buttoned up and ready to roll. Henry has

2181
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 1: had success even against good run defense. And they're not

2182
01:59:01,280 --> 01:59:02,840
Speaker 1: gonna They're not gonna take the ball out of his

2183
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:06,160
Speaker 1: hands either. No, he's averaged he's averaged twenty and a

2184
01:59:06,200 --> 01:59:09,360
Speaker 1: half carries against three run defenses. You can do what

2185
01:59:09,520 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 1: you do and he can. You hold him to you know,

2186
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:16,240
Speaker 1: thirty two yards on fifteen carries for the first half

2187
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:19,400
Speaker 1: with the long of eight, and he's still gonna get

2188
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:22,640
Speaker 1: fifteen carries in the second half. Yeah. The Bills have

2189
01:59:22,680 --> 01:59:27,360
Speaker 1: allowed two hundred forty nine rushing yards all season, which

2190
01:59:27,400 --> 01:59:30,240
Speaker 1: is the second fewest in the league. Henry has two

2191
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:35,040
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven in his last games. Yeah, the

2192
01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:38,640
Speaker 1: guy's good man, he's a he's a force team, he

2193
01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:40,880
Speaker 1: is a force and the Bills have got their work

2194
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:43,080
Speaker 1: cut out for him that and I would I'd be

2195
01:59:43,360 --> 01:59:45,800
Speaker 1: really I'm really interested to see how this game plays

2196
01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:49,760
Speaker 1: out because Tennessee's gotta have a plan B. They gotta

2197
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:53,240
Speaker 1: have a plan B. And maybe it's a j Brown

2198
01:59:53,440 --> 02:00:02,280
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones. But man, oh man, I'll say it again,

2199
02:00:02,360 --> 02:00:07,640
Speaker 1: I think this Bill's team is ripe for a little

2200
02:00:07,640 --> 02:00:10,120
Speaker 1: bit of a bust out. I think they're mentally going

2201
02:00:10,200 --> 02:00:12,000
Speaker 1: to be in a really good place to play really

2202
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:15,600
Speaker 1: well tonight. I don't think I think they there's a

2203
02:00:15,680 --> 02:00:20,400
Speaker 1: healthy anger about how the game went last year of

2204
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:22,120
Speaker 1: all the stuff that went into it, and there are

2205
02:00:22,160 --> 02:00:24,360
Speaker 1: a lot of favorable matchups in the passing year. And

2206
02:00:24,400 --> 02:00:27,080
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, there's a lot of film clips

2207
02:00:27,120 --> 02:00:30,600
Speaker 1: of Titans guys talking smack right in the face of

2208
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Bill's guys. That does not fly. When you gotta when

2209
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:39,280
Speaker 1: you when you pay back. So I'll just I'll just

2210
02:00:39,320 --> 02:00:42,240
Speaker 1: go and record again. I think this is gonna be

2211
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:48,560
Speaker 1: a beat down, an absolute beat down. Maybe that's just

2212
02:00:48,640 --> 02:00:51,480
Speaker 1: me projecting my moment. So they lost by twenty six

2213
02:00:51,640 --> 02:00:55,680
Speaker 1: last year do they win by more than twenty this year.

2214
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Let me just put it this way, Bills went into

2215
02:00:59,040 --> 02:01:01,200
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game and everybody said it was a

2216
02:01:01,240 --> 02:01:03,440
Speaker 1: beat down. They lost by fourteen points. They came back

2217
02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:08,240
Speaker 1: this year beat them by eighteen. Yeah, so I would

2218
02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:12,600
Speaker 1: say the mentality is there to do the exact same

2219
02:01:12,640 --> 02:01:15,200
Speaker 1: thing to this team. All right, I'll sign up for

2220
02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:18,000
Speaker 1: that break time for us here when Steve and I

2221
02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:20,000
Speaker 1: come back. Your final thoughts on the tweet sheet, and

2222
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:23,280
Speaker 1: maybe a little time for some NFL true false here

2223
02:01:23,360 --> 02:01:27,680
Speaker 1: on Bill's Football Monday, as we get ready for Monday

2224
02:01:27,840 --> 02:01:30,720
Speaker 1: Night football Bills Titans. You don't want to miss it.

2225
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:55,200
Speaker 1: We're back in the said, all right, welcome back one.

2226
02:01:55,240 --> 02:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Bills Live is the show. It's Bills Football Monday, as

2227
02:01:58,120 --> 02:02:01,320
Speaker 1: we get ready for Bill's Titans in Nashville tonight eight

2228
02:02:01,400 --> 02:02:05,960
Speaker 1: fifteen kickoff, and we wanted to get some final thoughts

2229
02:02:05,960 --> 02:02:09,200
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. R J says, as far as

2230
02:02:09,480 --> 02:02:12,360
Speaker 1: what's the key to a Bill's victory tonight limit mistakes?

2231
02:02:12,440 --> 02:02:14,240
Speaker 1: Last year's game wouldn't have been a loss if there

2232
02:02:14,280 --> 02:02:17,280
Speaker 1: weren't any Titans capitalize on getting those points from turnovers.

2233
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:19,440
Speaker 1: That's about it. Everybody else is going to kick some booty.

2234
02:02:20,080 --> 02:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Jack says, gotta contain Henry first and foremost. Then pressure

2235
02:02:24,080 --> 02:02:25,920
Speaker 1: the heck out of Tannehill. Also keep him in the

2236
02:02:25,920 --> 02:02:28,440
Speaker 1: pocket because he can run. Josh and the Boys can't

2237
02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:30,640
Speaker 1: let up on offense. Stay on the field, move the chains,

2238
02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:35,000
Speaker 1: test the underwhelming Tennessee d down the field, and JT says,

2239
02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:37,960
Speaker 1: putting the king in checkmate, like we have done in

2240
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: previous visits. The keys are in the ignition tonight. I

2241
02:02:41,280 --> 02:02:44,120
Speaker 1: smell a forty burger. We got a healthy lineup in

2242
02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:46,400
Speaker 1: last year. We didn't have trade A or Milano. The

2243
02:02:46,480 --> 02:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Bills will put a thumping on the Titans for all

2244
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:53,440
Speaker 1: the BS last season, Go Bills. I agree with JT.

2245
02:02:54,680 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Hard not to. I said it. I said it earlier.

2246
02:02:57,120 --> 02:02:59,640
Speaker 1: I said the forty burgers is on the table if

2247
02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:02,080
Speaker 1: they get up. I mean they because I know this.

2248
02:03:02,440 --> 02:03:04,120
Speaker 1: There's no need to take your foot off the gas

2249
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:06,240
Speaker 1: in this game. You got two weeks to get healthy,

2250
02:03:06,440 --> 02:03:08,560
Speaker 1: and you want to go into the bye week feeling

2251
02:03:08,600 --> 02:03:14,000
Speaker 1: as good as you can possibly feel. Yeah, I mean,

2252
02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking a Trabisky touchdown tonight. Wow. I just

2253
02:03:21,640 --> 02:03:23,840
Speaker 1: I just think it's I just think it could get ugly.

2254
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:25,520
Speaker 1: I think that's where the mentality is gonna be for

2255
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:28,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo under the lights and Tennessee coming in with a

2256
02:03:28,960 --> 02:03:32,240
Speaker 1: with a battered offensive line, with a secondary that's not

2257
02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:35,040
Speaker 1: up to snuff, with a pass rush that's gonna struggle

2258
02:03:35,080 --> 02:03:38,280
Speaker 1: against our guys. I think the one thing that gives

2259
02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:42,240
Speaker 1: me some some pause about the Tennessee team is those

2260
02:03:42,240 --> 02:03:46,000
Speaker 1: two wideouts A J. Brown and Julio Jones. Those guys

2261
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:50,120
Speaker 1: are good. If Tannehill finds that offense and can get

2262
02:03:50,160 --> 02:03:52,640
Speaker 1: them the ball, that could be a problem. But I

2263
02:03:52,680 --> 02:03:55,280
Speaker 1: still don't think that's gonna be enough to keep up

2264
02:03:55,280 --> 02:03:58,480
Speaker 1: with this Bill's offense against the Tennessee defense. If you

2265
02:03:58,680 --> 02:04:02,680
Speaker 1: have some time to kill between now and kickoff at

2266
02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 1: eight fifteen, we want to encourage you to check out

2267
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:09,760
Speaker 1: the new podcast that Steve and I are putting together

2268
02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:14,560
Speaker 1: weekly from here to four, called Bills by the Numbers,

2269
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:18,960
Speaker 1: presented by FanDuel. A new episode dropped over the weekend.

2270
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:21,400
Speaker 1: It is still current as it pertains to tonight's game,

2271
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:26,280
Speaker 1: and it's basically a deep dive into the numbers that

2272
02:04:26,360 --> 02:04:31,080
Speaker 1: explain why the Bills defense this weekend specifically is kicking

2273
02:04:31,080 --> 02:04:33,000
Speaker 1: butt this season, so Steve and I did a deep

2274
02:04:33,040 --> 02:04:35,920
Speaker 1: dive there. I also put Steve through the numbers game

2275
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:37,520
Speaker 1: where he has to rack his brain to come up

2276
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:40,240
Speaker 1: with answers. We have fun with him on that. Actually

2277
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:42,200
Speaker 1: pretty good. This week, you did pretty good. I will

2278
02:04:42,240 --> 02:04:44,000
Speaker 1: give you credit for that pretty good. So you can

2302
02:06:02,640 --> 02:06:06,320
Speaker 1: the Bills head back to the locker room, before lineup

2303
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:08,800
Speaker 1: announcements to start the game, and the national anthem, and

2304
02:06:08,840 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 1: that whole ball of wax. Looks like it's gonna be

2305
02:06:10,760 --> 02:06:12,960
Speaker 1: a good night down there tonight, Steve so weather should

2306
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:16,400
Speaker 1: not impact Buffalo's passing game, which we could not say

2307
02:06:16,480 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 1: each of the last two weeks. It's gonna be brain

2308
02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:21,320
Speaker 1: was a fact. It's gonna be Tennessee chili, not Buffalo chilly.

2309
02:06:21,360 --> 02:06:22,920
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be chill cold down there a little

2310
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:25,040
Speaker 1: bit right tonight, that which is probably a good thing

2311
02:06:25,520 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 1: for the players. It's good to play in weather like that.

2312
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:30,480
Speaker 1: The yeah, this, yeah, no excuses tonight. It's gonna be

2313
02:06:30,520 --> 02:06:34,480
Speaker 1: a good field, fast track and uh grass yep yeah

2314
02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:38,440
Speaker 1: no uh no weather to speak of time now though

2315
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:41,240
Speaker 1: for a little NFL True Fall Steve brought to you

2316
02:06:41,280 --> 02:06:44,760
Speaker 1: by Yancy's Fancy, By Yancy's Fancy, New York's Artist and

2317
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:49,720
Speaker 1: Cheese and number one NFL True Fall Steve Trede. Davis

2318
02:06:49,800 --> 02:06:54,800
Speaker 1: White would be the best two way candidate for the Bills.

2319
02:06:55,160 --> 02:06:58,000
Speaker 1: Best two way player on the roster be two way player,

2320
02:06:58,040 --> 02:07:00,520
Speaker 1: I will say false, Okay, I have my own ideas

2321
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:04,000
Speaker 1: about that. I think Justin Zimmer would be a better

2322
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:08,720
Speaker 1: two way player. Because here's the thing. Everybody these great, right,

2323
02:07:09,280 --> 02:07:11,920
Speaker 1: these these you always trying to tend to start the

2324
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:16,880
Speaker 1: star players would be great on maybe athletically, I don't

2325
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:21,880
Speaker 1: know that, right. I think you'd have faster success with

2326
02:07:21,920 --> 02:07:24,880
Speaker 1: a guy further down the roster, like a Tyler Medakevitch

2327
02:07:25,600 --> 02:07:30,440
Speaker 1: or Taiwan Jones for instance. Um, those guys that are

2328
02:07:31,240 --> 02:07:33,920
Speaker 1: kind of the special teams guys or backup players who

2329
02:07:34,400 --> 02:07:37,800
Speaker 1: who who or maybe who have crossed over like Dawson Knox,

2330
02:07:37,880 --> 02:07:42,080
Speaker 1: who you know played quarterback before he became a tight end. Um.

2331
02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:47,400
Speaker 1: But you could also get a guy like Cody Ford,

2332
02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:51,440
Speaker 1: who could probably be a pretty good one technique, you

2333
02:07:51,440 --> 02:07:55,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean, or a three technique, so you

2334
02:07:55,880 --> 02:07:58,320
Speaker 1: know stuff. Guys like that are more likely for me

2335
02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:00,920
Speaker 1: to be better two way players, at least right off

2336
02:08:00,960 --> 02:08:05,000
Speaker 1: the top than other guys. I'm gonna say false as well.

2337
02:08:05,360 --> 02:08:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm going with the freakazoit Tremaine Edmonds. I think he'd

2338
02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:11,240
Speaker 1: be a pretty darn good tight end. Yeah, how about

2339
02:08:11,320 --> 02:08:15,920
Speaker 1: him at tight end? Yeah? Six five? Your red zone

2340
02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:19,760
Speaker 1: target arms like anaconda's you know what I mean? Like, yeah,

2341
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:22,000
Speaker 1: you throw it up to that guy. Yeah, I'd sign

2342
02:08:22,080 --> 02:08:27,640
Speaker 1: up for that. He's like a pterodactyl condor. Yeah. Yeah,

2343
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 1: they couldn't have it. What do they call those suits

2344
02:08:31,240 --> 02:08:32,880
Speaker 1: to the guys jump off the cliffs end with the

2345
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:37,480
Speaker 1: with the oh yeah, how much fabric he would have? Yeah,

2346
02:08:37,520 --> 02:08:39,920
Speaker 1: he looked like a flying squirrel. Yeah, like one of

2347
02:08:39,960 --> 02:08:44,879
Speaker 1: those suits. I'll bet you don't make one that big. Hmm. Yeah,

2348
02:08:45,320 --> 02:08:48,040
Speaker 1: he'd need more coverage. Yeah, that guy, that guy could,

2349
02:08:48,120 --> 02:08:50,120
Speaker 1: that's my pick. I think he'd be a great You

2350
02:08:50,200 --> 02:08:52,080
Speaker 1: put a suit like that on Tremaine Edmonds. All you'd

2351
02:08:52,120 --> 02:08:54,600
Speaker 1: need is one of those little electric fans and he

2352
02:08:54,600 --> 02:08:59,560
Speaker 1: could he could fly across the ocean man for a while. Yeah, uh,

2353
02:09:01,800 --> 02:09:05,240
Speaker 1: number two, the Cowboys are the biggest threat to the

2354
02:09:05,320 --> 02:09:13,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals in the NFC. No, I'll say, now they've played

2355
02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 1: I think have the Have the Rams played the car

2356
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:18,680
Speaker 1: I will check for you. I think they have, and

2357
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:23,480
Speaker 1: I will say, yeah, they beat Los Angeles thirty seven twenty.

2358
02:09:23,640 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 1: They lumped him up pretty big. I was gonna say

2359
02:09:26,800 --> 02:09:32,160
Speaker 1: the Rams. I might still say the Rams even though

2360
02:09:32,160 --> 02:09:35,040
Speaker 1: they got beat Certainly, I'm not gonna put Green Bay

2361
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:39,040
Speaker 1: in that competition just yet. Tampa Bay is pretty good.

2362
02:09:40,920 --> 02:09:45,400
Speaker 1: I would say Tampa Bay LA would be ahead of

2363
02:09:45,480 --> 02:09:50,880
Speaker 1: Dallas for me. Okay, although Dallas's office pretty good, pretty good,

2364
02:09:51,160 --> 02:09:53,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. I think that's pretty good. I think that's

2365
02:09:53,960 --> 02:09:55,320
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be. I think you're gonna have to

2366
02:09:55,400 --> 02:09:57,800
Speaker 1: score points with those guys to beat them. Yeah, I'm

2367
02:09:57,800 --> 02:10:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna withhold judgment on Dallas right now and

2368
02:10:00,920 --> 02:10:03,960
Speaker 1: say false and I will go with Tampa. Although Tampa

2369
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:06,000
Speaker 1: has its share of problems with injuries right now. Is

2370
02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:08,560
Speaker 1: that they've had trouble stopping p or is that because

2371
02:10:08,600 --> 02:10:10,840
Speaker 1: you don't really give their win over New England as

2372
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:12,800
Speaker 1: much weight as other people do. I want to see

2373
02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:15,720
Speaker 1: a little more from Dallas. Yeah, I want to see

2374
02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:18,879
Speaker 1: I need I'll say this, I need to be convinced.

2375
02:10:18,920 --> 02:10:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. I'm getting closer. I respect what

2376
02:10:21,400 --> 02:10:25,040
Speaker 1: they can do, sure, but I'm not I'm not fully

2377
02:10:25,080 --> 02:10:27,360
Speaker 1: on board yet. I kind of got one one foot

2378
02:10:27,360 --> 02:10:29,560
Speaker 1: in the door. I will say this, until they play

2379
02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:33,600
Speaker 1: their best, you know, you have to kind of decide

2380
02:10:33,600 --> 02:10:35,600
Speaker 1: that that is their best, you know what I'm saying.

2381
02:10:35,720 --> 02:10:38,840
Speaker 1: Until they played better. And I think Dallas almost did

2382
02:10:38,840 --> 02:10:41,000
Speaker 1: everything they could to hand the game last night to

2383
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:42,919
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots on a couple of different occasions.

2384
02:10:43,040 --> 02:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Three times in the five times in the red zone

2385
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:47,080
Speaker 1: all came away. You know, they were two of five.

2386
02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:52,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna say I'm with you. Yeah, I'm

2387
02:10:52,400 --> 02:10:56,320
Speaker 1: kind of hesitant to anoint cow the Cowboys yet. Yeah.

2388
02:10:56,400 --> 02:10:58,400
Speaker 1: All right, that's all the time we have for NFL

2389
02:10:58,480 --> 02:11:01,160
Speaker 1: true false break time for us here. But Steve and

2390
02:11:01,200 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 1: I back to close it up here on this Buffalo

2391
02:11:03,800 --> 02:11:07,080
Speaker 1: Football Monday. It's One Bill's Live presented by Collid to Health.

2392
02:11:07,120 --> 02:11:23,280
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, Steve, So they

2393
02:11:23,400 --> 02:11:27,840
Speaker 1: put a bow on today's show. It's probably coming down

2394
02:11:27,880 --> 02:11:31,440
Speaker 1: to how they first and foremost handle Henry, something they've

2395
02:11:31,480 --> 02:11:34,240
Speaker 1: demonstrated an ability to do in the past, even last

2396
02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:37,440
Speaker 1: year when you would argue their defense was shorthanded. They

2397
02:11:37,480 --> 02:11:40,440
Speaker 1: held him to under sixty yards rushing, but there were

2398
02:11:40,480 --> 02:11:43,240
Speaker 1: some big play elements and Ryan Tannehill got out of

2399
02:11:43,280 --> 02:11:47,360
Speaker 1: the gate a few times and actually ran for a

2400
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:50,000
Speaker 1: good deal of rushing yards in that game, including one

2401
02:11:50,080 --> 02:11:54,360
Speaker 1: for a touchdown in the red zone. And they had

2402
02:11:54,360 --> 02:11:57,480
Speaker 1: some big plays and some turnovers. Yeah, we'll see if

2403
02:11:57,880 --> 02:12:02,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee has a planned We'll see if the Buffalo Bills

2404
02:12:02,520 --> 02:12:04,080
Speaker 1: can get them off Derrik Henry and get them into

2405
02:12:04,080 --> 02:12:06,360
Speaker 1: a situation where Derek Henry isn't going to be an option,

2406
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:10,720
Speaker 1: and see what the Titan Titans Plan B is and

2407
02:12:10,760 --> 02:12:12,800
Speaker 1: see if you can defend that. Having a handle on

2408
02:12:12,880 --> 02:12:15,280
Speaker 1: that when they've got a J. Brown and Julio Jones

2409
02:12:15,720 --> 02:12:22,080
Speaker 1: is not easy. And who knows, given what we don't

2410
02:12:22,120 --> 02:12:25,000
Speaker 1: know about what Tennessee thinks about its own people, is

2411
02:12:25,040 --> 02:12:27,880
Speaker 1: if they do have Julio Jones and a J. Brown

2412
02:12:28,280 --> 02:12:31,320
Speaker 1: healthy for the first time since Week one, maybe their

2413
02:12:31,400 --> 02:12:33,640
Speaker 1: plan A for the first time this season, and they're

2414
02:12:33,640 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 1: going to try and beat Buffalo in a way the

2415
02:12:36,000 --> 02:12:40,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo doesn't anticipate it'll be fun to watch. It'll be

2416
02:12:40,240 --> 02:12:43,400
Speaker 1: fun to watch, but you know, they're planning against the

2417
02:12:43,480 --> 02:12:47,080
Speaker 1: number one defense in the league, and they're there. They

2418
02:12:47,120 --> 02:12:49,040
Speaker 1: earned their way there six games into the five games

2419
02:12:49,040 --> 02:12:51,360
Speaker 1: into the season. So we'll see how they play. Yeah,

2420
02:12:51,400 --> 02:12:54,880
Speaker 1: I know you're predicting a lump it up result. The

2421
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:57,960
Speaker 1: one thing I will give the Titans credit for is

2422
02:12:58,560 --> 02:13:02,320
Speaker 1: they are a mentally tough group. They'll grind it out,

2423
02:13:03,040 --> 02:13:05,400
Speaker 1: but I just don't see a way for them to

2424
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:08,360
Speaker 1: climb back into a game if they're down by more

2425
02:13:08,400 --> 02:13:12,600
Speaker 1: than they're two scores. They're extremely well coached, they're very

2426
02:13:12,680 --> 02:13:17,520
Speaker 1: mentally tough, they're physically tough, they've got attitude, and they

2427
02:13:17,560 --> 02:13:21,000
Speaker 1: play smart. So you know, teams like that are tough

2428
02:13:21,040 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 1: to beat. I think the thing that puts this over

2429
02:13:23,560 --> 02:13:25,760
Speaker 1: the edge for me is that is the fact that

2430
02:13:25,800 --> 02:13:27,760
Speaker 1: they're playing a team tonight. It's the exact same way.

2431
02:13:28,680 --> 02:13:32,560
Speaker 1: They're more talented, and I think this Bill's team's got

2432
02:13:32,640 --> 02:13:36,160
Speaker 1: a chip on its shoulder, and I think that's that's

2433
02:13:37,480 --> 02:13:40,120
Speaker 1: that says a lot about how these games go. Yeah,

2434
02:13:40,200 --> 02:13:42,640
Speaker 1: I think emotion we'll play into this one. You heard

2435
02:13:42,720 --> 02:13:45,360
Speaker 1: Lewis Riddick say it, Steve said it for the better

2436
02:13:45,360 --> 02:13:48,880
Speaker 1: part of the last three months. It's time to enjoy it.

2437
02:13:49,280 --> 02:13:51,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us here on One Bill's Live. Steve

2438
02:13:51,440 --> 02:13:54,800
Speaker 1: and I'll be back tomorrow one pm to break the

2439
02:13:54,840 --> 02:14:14,480
Speaker 1: whole thing down. We'll see you then. Time to time
