Speaker 1: his first NFL snamps in two years. He gets to

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: start at quarterback as the Buffalo Bills wait for Josh

Speaker 1: Hallen to be cleared to play and try to snap

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: a four game losing skids before they hit the bye lee.

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,000

Speaker 1: intercepted tech top by Man Labana running down the sideline

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: in front of the Death's bench. There's the snap. Barkley

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: out of the gun. Let's do his lap waiting. He

Speaker 1: the middle of the end zone. Touchdown, Buffalo. Twelve days ago,

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley was on the street and he led the

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Bills to this victory. Today as the Bills snap a

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: four game losing Street, there you go, the Toshiba game

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: rewind presented by Toshiba, the official copy or company of

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, who are these guys? Who was

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: that team? John Murphy, Chris Brown? Who are you? Chris

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: is here and places Steve Tasker. Steve's delayed in his

Speaker 1: return from his CBS game in Green Bay lated to

00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: four o'clock techoff yesterday. Steve will be back on the

35
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: show to morrow. Chris is with us for the whole

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: three outs of the show. Chris, a team that averaged

37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: about six and a half points per game into three

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: games prior to that, a team that averaged a little

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: more than ten points per game for the entire season.

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: Goes in there in New York with the brand new

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: quarterback hasn't played in a couple of years, new personel

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: on the offensive line and a wide receiver and puts

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: up forty one points. What is that? How does that happen?

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: That is defying logic is what it is. And it

45
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: was an explosion of efficiency. It was fun too, it

46
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: wasn't it. Yeah? I enjoyed it. It was nice. Yeah,

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: it was nice to watch witness report on etc. I mean,

48
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm scrambling for numbers. I'm like trying to keep track

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: or in a game, like, well, what did we just

50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: pass here? You know, Shady goes over fourteen thousand total

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage in his career, and they're over one

52
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: hundred yards for the first time. They put that twelve

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: game streak to bed, the longest streak in the league

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: without one hundred yard receiver. That's done Robert Foster. So

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to you know, it was so much was

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: going on. I couldn't keep up with it. The numbers

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: we're going on, the numbers where he couldn't either, especially yeah,

58
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: especially compared to where they had been, but more than that,

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: it was a kind of a different approach, a different

60
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: vibe right from the start. You know, we had Terrell

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: Pryor on the show last Thursday, right and he made

62
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, and he was talking about a

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: lot of things, including what it would take to snap

64
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: out of the slump. I believe we have the sound bite. Yes,

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: Terrell Pryor. I asked him last week, Terrell, you've been

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: here now for what a couple of weeks? What's it

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna take to get this offense going. Here's what he said.

68
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: I think we need one big play, one big player play.

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: That's all you need. We need to taste it, we

70
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: need to feel it. You know, it's like us going,

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, we go to, we go get to we

72
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: go to a spot. We keep on hearing about food spot,

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: and we finally had that dish everybody's talking about. You know,

74
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: we're looking at Casey, We're looking at all these great offenses.

75
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: You get a taste of that, you know, that special

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: parmesan chicken or whatever, and then you're like, oh, I'm

77
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm coming back for more. I get it. So that's

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: what we need, you know, we need just one big play,

79
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: and you know, I think we're capable. Chicken Parmerasan was

80
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: the key, one big play, one taste of it, and

81
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: they got it Chris on the very first play, the

82
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: forty seven yard pass to Robert Foster from Matt Barkley

83
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: on the first play from scrimmage. I think Prior was right.

84
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: I think that one place should have ignited the whole

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills offense yesterday. Yeah, but you know, I think

86
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: there was a little spring in the step of all

87
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: the players, even in pregame warmups. Just watching them down

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: on the field, there just seemed to be a different

89
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: energy about the that I've never been able to do

90
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: that well. I mean, I just I mean, you see

91
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: it from time to time before games, guys just look

92
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: like they got a little extra bounce going. I mean,

93
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to get themselves hyped up for a football

94
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: game every week, but it just seemed like previous weeks

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: where it was where it looked like there was this

96
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: quiet focus, there was this energetic bounce let's just call

97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: it more bounce to the ounce, if you will, before

98
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: the game. And so you know what I'm looking at is, Okay,

99
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: let's see if this turns into anything. And then you know,

100
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: the first play happens and they're off and running, and

101
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, McCoy f allows it up with a twenty

102
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: eight yard run for a touchdown, and you're like, what

103
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: the heck just happened? And I think the Jets were

104
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: saying the same thing. And you know, and I know

105
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: I said this on our Monday morning breakdown program on

106
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: our social media channels at ten. But as great as

107
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: the Bills played yesterday, and I want to take anything

108
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: away from all three phases, Holy cow, the Jets look

109
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: like a dead fish out there. Yep, just laying on

110
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: the field doing nothing. Holy cow. Todd Bowles, you are

111
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: in trouble, buddy. Yeah, the Jets, by the way you

112
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: announced today that does not appear that they'll be making

113
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: a move on Todd Bowls in the near future. But

114
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: we'll see. That can change, as we know. But you're right,

115
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: the Jets were dead right from the start. And that

116
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: early quick start for Buffalo seven and nothing lead just

117
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: a couple of seconds into the game, I thought spelled

118
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: They're doomed. There's a lot to talk about on that game.

119
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people to talk about today in

120
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,080

139
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,440

140
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: McDermott will be all about today at one thirty when

141
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: we hear him live on the show, Chris, he's gonna

142
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: downplay what went on yesterday, would you think. I don't

143
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: know if he'll downplay it. He's certainly not going to

144
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: play it up. I think we know. I think we

145
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: know that's his history, so I think that's safe to say.

146
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll downplay it because I think he

147
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: wants to give credit where he feels it's due. And

148
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: I think with all the hard work that his players

149
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: have put in, even through the four game losing streak,

150
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: you know he wants to tip his hat to them

151
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: at the same time, Now, was it perfect? It was

152
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: pretty close to as perfect a performance as this team

153
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: has had all season long, because special teams executed and

154
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: played well. You know, he got Household with a fifty

155
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: four yarder picking up the offense, You've got Logan Thomas

156
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: executing a fake punt, You've got Isaiah McKenzie putting a

157
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: charge in the return game. And then on offense, we

158
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: know what they did. And on defense, I mean four

159
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: straight three and outs to start the game. Holy crow,

160
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets had nine yards after the first quarter,

161
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: and I think they had sixty eight at halftime. The

162
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: game was over at halftime essentially, So you don't want

163
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: to diminish the results of the hard work when it

164
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: finally comes to fruition, as it did yesterday. It just

165
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: kind of all came together in one game. The past

166
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: four weeks of struggles were kind of eliminated in totality

167
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: in every way, shape and form. And so from what

168
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: from McDermott, what do we expect? I think, you know,

169
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: he'll tip his hat to all three phases. He'll tip

170
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: his hat to the coaching staff. As far as where

171
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: it goes from here, I don't think we're gonna get

172
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: too much detail as to which way they might be

173
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: leaning at quarterback. Well, canna wait and evaluate that a

174
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, he has no reason to answer that today,

175
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: but eventually he will and right, and they have two

176
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: weeks to prepare for a Jaguars team that is struggling mightily.

177
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they've lost five in a row now and

178
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: they don't know which way is up, so we'll have

179
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: to It's gonna be very interesting to watch that Jaguars

180
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: team this weekend while everybody's home relaxing and kicking back

181
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: during the buy. Yeah, and we're going to talk about

182
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. We want to hear from you. We

183
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: got phone lines open right now at eight h three

184
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: Z five fifty and toll free one eight eight eight

185
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty plus. You can tweet in

186
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: your responses to our question, simple question today. What's your

187
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the Bills win over the Jets, the

188
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: forty one to ten victory over the Jets, Go anywhere

189
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: you want. You know, there's I can rattle off a

190
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: couple of them right now. The quarterback situation, we'll talk

191
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: about that. I do think Chris the Bill's got a

192
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: lot of benefit yesterday from an infusion of youth and

193
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: mostly speed, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

194
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: They had some new starters, why at Teller upfront on

195
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: the offensive line. He seemed to fit right in more

196
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: than held his own. But they got Robert Foster in

197
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: the starting lineup after he was just resigned to the

198
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: active roster on Saturday. Isaiah McKenzie, a second year player,

199
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: A young guy, fast guy. He made a difference in

200
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: return work and on offense what would your stat about

201
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: isam McKenzie's play total in the production he had would Yeah,

202
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: he was on the play He was on the field

203
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: for fifteen plays counting special teams in offense, seven on offense,

204
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: eight on special teams. He had one hundred and twenty

205
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: one total gods. So that's making a difference, that is

206
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: maximizing your efficiency, and it's also really making a heck

207
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: of a first impression. Yeah, I mean, he had a

208
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: thirty three yard kick return. I think he had you know,

209
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: a couple of good punt returns, good average you know,

210
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: round nine ten yards, and then he had a couple

211
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: of those runs to the flanks that got one got

212
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: a first down, and they had a fourteen yard reception.

213
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: So whenever he was on the field, he was doing

214
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: something positive. And you know, we talk about this all

215
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: the time, or if you know, this team was scrambling

216
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: to find some kind of answer to improve the offensive result,

217
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: the offensive production, and the best way to do that,

218
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: the easiest way to do that is to add speed

219
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: to the offense. Because you don't have to teach it.

220
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: It's either there or it's not. You know, it's kind

221
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: of like being pregnant. You are, you're not. You're faster,

222
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: you're not. And if you can add speed to the field,

223
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: which the Bills did in the form of Isaiah McKenzie

224
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: in the form of Robert Foster, it forces a defense

225
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: to cover more of the field. They can't you sit

226
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: up ten yards from the line of scrimmage and put

227
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: eleven players there. Which a lot of these defenses the

228
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 1: last four weeks we're doing and that's why, you know.

229
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: I asked coach about it after the game and he said, yeah,

230
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Brandon and I. I mean they talk every Monday, probably

231
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: every day, but every Monday, they really kind of hash

232
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: out everything after games, and then they talk through the

233
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: course of the week, and they came to the conclusion

234
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: that we just do not have enough speed on the field.

235
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Nobody respects our passing game because nobody's worried about getting

236
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: their doors blown off. And after Robert Foster catches that

237
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: forty seven yard pass first play of the game, the

238
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: defensive approach by the Jets changed. I mean, that's safety,

239
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: that deep safety is hanging back in the middle of

240
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: the field. That's one less guy in the box. Suddenly

241
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: the run lanes are open for Lashawn McCoy to exploit.

242
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: So you know, it changes the dynamic of how these

243
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: opponents are defending the Bill's offense now, and you see

244
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: the difference that it made yesterday. I think that's my

245
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway is the addition of speed to the lineup,

246
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: but there's plenty to look at quarterbacks. The addition of speed.

247
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: Lashan McCoy had his biggest game of the year by

248
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: a mile, and I think McCoy benefited from what was

249
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: going on up front. Look, I don't know that McCoy

250
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: ran a whole lot differently than he'd had in the

251
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: previous nine games, but they have the holes up front. Yeah,

252
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: they have a little slivers of room upfront. Man, all

253
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: the difference in the rope for him and for the

254
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense. Chris. They had a split zone run play

255
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: that was killing the Jets in the first half. And

256
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to know x's and o's

257
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: enough to explain it to everybody, but it had them

258
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: crossed up. The Jets could not get a handle on

259
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: it in the first half. They adjusted in the second

260
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: half and tried to take it away and were more

261
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: effective in doing so. But I was just I think

262
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: they got out schemed, they got out coached, and the

263
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: players got out played. The Bills just had it all going.

264
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: And the other thing that I liked about the offense

265
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: yesterday was snapping it early in the play clock. I

266
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: want to ask Matt Barkley about this when we have

267
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: him on the show in a little bit here. But

268
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: snapping it early in the play clock, I think kept

269
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: the Jets on their heels. You had the big play early,

270
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: there's a touchdown on the board after two plays. The

271
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: next series they come out, Bang they're snapping it early,

272
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: like twenty two seconds on the play clock, Barkley snapping

273
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: the ball. Bang they're going. They get back up to

274
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: the line again, twenty two seconds on the play clock,

275
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: Bang they're going again. And I think the Jets never

276
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: really got a chance to catch their breath because bang

277
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: the jet. The Bills are running another play at him,

278
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: another play at him, another play at him. And that's

279
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: what I think helps get the offense in a rhythm

280
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: and you have a better chance, I think of getting

281
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: some of those chunk plays because the Jets didn't really

282
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: have a chance to catch their breath, get their feet

283
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: set and think about how they're playing defense. Forty one

284
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: point scored. That's great, and that might be your biggest takeaway.

285
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: Maybe you have something to say about the coaching staff,

286
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: the offensive play calling. Net's all good. The other big

287
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: takeaway I get though, is ten points allowed, Chris, And yes,

288
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: the Jets were awful offensively, but this Buffalo defense is solid.

289
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: They have been for most of the year. Gave up

290
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: ten points yesterday. Second consecutive opponent held to less than

291
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: two hundred yards. That hasn't happened for the Bills in

292
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: what twenty years or so, nineteen years, I believe. And

293
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: they wake up today with the number one ranked defense

294
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Number one, right, and Murphy, I'm gonna

295
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: take a step further, okay, and this is going to

296
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: be in my stats column on Buffalo Bills dot Com tomorrow.

297
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: The Bills are not only number one in total defense,

298
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: they also have been on the field for the sixth

299
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 1: most plays from scrimmage as a defense this season. The

300
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: only other teams that have had their defense on the

301
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: field for more plays this season Miami, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City,

302
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: and New England. Do you want to know where their

303
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: defense is rank in the league? Eighteenth, twenty fifth, twenty sixth,

304
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, thirty first, and thirty second. To be on

305
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: the field for as many plays as the Bills have

306
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: this season six hundred eleven plays. To be number one

307
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: in total defense is phenomenal. That is remarkable to me.

308
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: The sixth most plays in the league on the field

309
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: and you're the number one defense in the league. I mean, hello,

310
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: salute to you. I mean, I know we're saluting to service,

311
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: but I'm saluting to the Bills defense with what they've

312
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: been able to do this season. And four point nine

313
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: yards per play that second in the league only to Baltimore.

314
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of other things. They lead the

315
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: league in force bubbles, they lead the league and tackles

316
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: for loss. I mean, they've just been phenomenal this year.

317
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot to choose from. When we asked the question,

318
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: what's your biggest takeaway from the Bills win over the Jets,

319
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: and let's hear from you. We can do it on

320
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: the phone lines at eight oh three five fifty or

321
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

322
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: or on Twitter at one Bills five on the tweet

323
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: sheet Greg torlone and we asked the question biggest takeaway

324
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: from the Bills win over the Jets, he responds that

325
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: Brian Daboll's offense does work. Despite what we've seen throughout

326
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: much of the season, Barkley might have been the proverbial

327
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: perfect storm or quarterback, which is by no means an

328
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: indictment of josh Haanen because I'm glad he finally got

329
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: to watch effective passing from the sideline. I guess I

330
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: had less doubts about Dayboll's offense for most of the

331
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: season than many than some respondents that we've had, because, look,

332
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: he didn't have a whole lot of buttons to push it.

333
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, this year has been tough for him to

334
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: find answers Chris, four different starting quarterbacks, receivers who aren't

335
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: making getting open and making plays an offensive line they

336
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: can open holes. I don't even know by the end

337
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: of the year, after six more games, if we'll have

338
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: a full understanding of what Dabele wants to do offensively,

339
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: just because it's been so difficult to get the right

340
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: people on the field right. And I think also you

341
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: have to understand the quarterback situation that he's been dealing with. Yeah,

342
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean This is the first time since the strike

343
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: year the Bills have had to start four quarterbacks in

344
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: one season. And that happened in the first ten games.

345
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: We haven't it got to game week sixteen, week seventeen?

346
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: Is it? After ten games? So you say, well, what's

347
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: the big deal? Well, two of those guys were there

348
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: all of twelve days before they had to play a

349
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: football game. I mean, you want to talk about tying

350
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: a hand behind your offensive coordinators back, hello, I mean,

351
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't get much more difficult. Now You've got cram

352
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: sessions with two different quarterbacks for two different games. You know,

353
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: they win one, they don't win the other. You know,

354
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: it's it's been an uphill climb, you know. And and

355
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Brian Dabele has worked to make the best of it.

356
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: And I give him a whole lot of credit for

357
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: not making any excuses. You know, he basically says, we

358
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: got to be better, We've got to do better, We've

359
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: got to fix what's ailing us, despite the fact that

360
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: he's been faced with far less than ideal circumstances this

361
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: season just trying to figure out who to line up.

362
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: Here's a tweet from the tweet sheet from Bills Chick

363
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: My biggest takeaway is that the Jets are terrible. As

364
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: for the Bills, did they finally figure out how to

365
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: game plan and offense or did they just get lucky

366
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: for a game against the hapless Jets. I believe it's

367
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: the ladder, but we'll find out after the buy. Yeah,

368
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: the Jets were hapless. The Jets were awful. But to say,

369
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: did the Bills finally figure out how the game plan

370
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: an offense? That's the point we're just talking about. It's

371
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: not they haven't had rough offense because of game plans

372
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: or play calls. Don't cause yourself. They don't have players.

373
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: They have not had players up until yesterday in place

374
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: to execute. Don't get confused. It wasn't like, oh, what

375
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: a stupid coaching effort that was, you know, when you

376
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: don't get any points at all, or you settle for

377
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: six points a game. No, that was not the problem.

378
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't believe that at all. And that's why I

379
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: said earlier this morning on the Monday Morning Breakdown that

380
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: you know, the as great as the Bills played, the

381
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Jets were awful. The Jets were just as awful as

382
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: the Bills were good. I don't think there's any debate

383
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: about that. They laid down, They did not come to play.

384
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: They're getting ready to you know, sip drinks in on

385
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 1: a beach somewhere during the bye week. I mean, that's

386
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: how they looked yesterday. But I will say this, if

387
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: the Jets came out and played their best yesterday, I

388
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: still think the Bills went. Oh yeah, certainly, not not

389
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: by the score that we saw. They're not going to

390
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: win by thirty one points. But I think the Bills

391
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: played well enough where they would have beaten a better

392
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Jets team yesterday. You know, maybe it's only by seven

393
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: or ten, maybe even less. But I think even if

394
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: the Jets brought their best yesterday, the way the Bills

395
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: were executing, the efficiency with which they executed in all

396
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: three phases, I still think and maintained, they would have

397
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: won the football game. I want to hear from you.

398
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: What's the biggest takeaway you have from the Bills win

399
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: over the Jets yesterday. Let's get to the phone lines

400
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: eight three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

401
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Carl on the line from Buffalo, Carl,

402
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with us. I was

403
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: just really imp us with the game call. Overall, the

404
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: offense looked really good and they haven't for weeks with

405
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: the play calls. Yes, I just think that. I think

406
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: the play calling was was just overall really good, taking

407
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: the chances that they took, you know, the first down,

408
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: big pass. We haven't opened up the passing game at all,

409
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: and I thought that was a huge factor. You well,

410
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: I would submit they haven't had a chance to with

411
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback play and receiving play they got started taking chances, Chris, Look,

412
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: they were desperate. I think that was born to desperate.

413
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: Nothing to chance, Yeah, nothing to lose. You know, the

414
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: fake punt at the forty seven yard line against Add

415
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: Happles's Jets offense. That's a good place to do that.

416
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: But they were overall desperate after averaging what did I say,

417
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: six points a game for three games prior, right, And

418
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: you also have to think too, what caters to making

419
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: those play calls Aside from you know, a couple of

420
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: things that you just mentioned. Jets offense wasn't going anywhere.

421
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: You can take a chance on a fake punt in

422
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, but what else cater to that?

423
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: The penalties were down dramatically. I mean, they weren't shooting

424
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: themselves in the foot. There were very few long down

425
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: in distant situations. I remember a hold in the second

426
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: half that put them in a second and twenty. I

427
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: think they had a first in nineteen at some point

428
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: in the game. And they also had an illegal block

429
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: in the back that was a fantom call in my

430
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: estimation on Jordan Mills that set them back also, but

431
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: four penalties in the game. When you don't shoot yourself

432
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: in the foot, now you're sitting and the running game

433
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: was working. So now you're in second and six, second

434
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: and four third and two third and one. Do you

435
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: have any plays an offensive coordinator has for those down

436
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: and distant situations in comparison to second and twenty, third

437
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: and fourteen. I mean, they have a myriad of options

438
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: that they can turn to in their call sheet when

439
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: they're in manageable down in distance. And so that's what

440
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: having a competent run game, staying out of bad penalty

441
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: situations can do for your offense. And it worked yesterday

442
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: for sure. They were happy about it. In the Buffalo

443
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: locker room yesterday. As you can imagine, we were in

444
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: there getting some of the sound. Let's take a trip

445
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: around the locker room, presented by units Upstate New York

446
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: Transplant Services, Save Lives Joined team units, donate blood, Visit

447
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: units dot org. Let's go a trip around the locker room.

448
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 1: Head coach John McDermott. I'm Matt Barkley's performance. The biggest

449
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: thing that I that I really appreciated about Matt was

450
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: the way he led the football team. He had good

451
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: energy during the week and and the look in his

452
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: eye today was a good one. And he brought good

453
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: energy to our offense and gave the receiver's a chance

454
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: to make to make players on the ball, and at

455
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day, took care of the football,

456
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: which we haven't done to this point of late. But

457
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: when you take care of the football, you give yourself

458
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: a chance to win. Quarterback Matt Barkley. It was a

459
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: complete team victory. I knew we were confident going in

460
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: this game, but I mean that was that was a

461
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: fun win. We don't really seem anything like that, and uh,

462
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it kind of is the definition

463
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: of a team win too. From the turnovers that we

464
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: had and the running game was on point. I mean,

465
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: we had playmakers on this team and they kind of

466
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: show up today. So it was fun. Wide receivers A

467
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: Jones who says the Bills opened up the playbook a

468
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: huge current the gable and you know, I'm sure criticism

469
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: has been thrown his way a lot of the season,

470
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: but I mean he's stuck with it. He's just as

471
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: resilient as the players are. He takes all the ownership

472
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: for it as far as like the mistakes, but then

473
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: gives all the credit when the players do it. I mean,

474
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: that's just the type of man he is. So just

475
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: really excited for him and the opportunities play what he

476
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: can do. Offensive tackle Jon Dawkins, I'm his touchdown catch.

477
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: Does he ever scored a touchdown before? In high school?

478
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: And I scored on defense and uh and it's his

479
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: big score a touchdown and jersey half of the game

480
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: and I went over to my mother and she was crying,

481
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: and so so it's it's a big deal. Did you

482
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: keep the ball? Absolutely? But I don't have it now

483
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: they put the guys doing but it's my ball. Running

484
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: back with Sean McCay, oh yeah, in his game and

485
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: the overall success of the Rushie attack, just like that

486
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: big monkey's up my back a little bit. But this

487
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: is one game at a time. We want to go

488
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: out there and uh and win just that game. Um It.

489
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot better, I think today, just because of

490
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: how we've been running the ball and an offense and

491
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: how we've been playing against that type of defense, and

492
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: that defense is good, you know, so else I was

493
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: shocked the way we moved it running the ball because

494
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: that's really good defense. No, that was. It just feels

495
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: good to go against the top defense and actually, you know,

496
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: put us some good yards night backer Lorenzo Alexander. The

497
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense got off to a fast start just trying

498
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: to get after him. Obviously, Josh hasn't played that much

499
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: this year, so they were doing a lot of quick

500
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: screens and we're able to tap a will in space

501
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: ultimately on the D line. I don't know how many

502
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: bad balls were every day, but that's always disruptive and

503
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: was able to get them off the fielding every they

504
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: never really got intto a true river the ball. Safety

505
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: Micah Hide. The importance of getting a win before the

506
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: byewee huge. Anytime you get away and going to buy

507
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: it's just uh. As a player, um, it makes it

508
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: just so much better, you know, going. We watched the

509
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: film tomorrow coaches with being a good mood, a better

510
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: a better mood than obviously getting out and seeing your

511
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: family for a week is. It's huge, especially since a

512
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: long season. Um. You know, as fans love the NFL

513
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: because it's long season, they can play that fantasy football

514
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 1: and do all that stuff. But for us it's long. Man,

515
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: it's a weekend, a week out grindum, not just physically

516
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: but mentally. Um, you know, to study so hard out

517
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: the week and have to flush it prepare for the

518
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: next team. Uh, it's hard on hard on the mind

519
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: and then obviously physically you know, football stuff. So it's

520
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: good to get away, see the family. I need some sun. Um,

521
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. So hopefully I can come back about five

522
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: shades darker, there're going. I have a locker room presented

523
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: by Units Upstate New York Transplanting Services, Save Lives, Joining

524
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: Team Units, Give blood Visit Units dot org. Should we

525
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: get Micah hides and baby oils before he leaves this week? Hey,

526
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: we want to know from you, what do you think

527
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: the biggest take you have from Buffalo's victory yesterday? What

528
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: do you think. Let's take a call here from Gary

529
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: An his cell Gary go ahand you're on the air.

530
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how y'all doing good? Good? Yeah, I want

531
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: us to repeat something Speed Tasker said many weeks ago.

532
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: He believes the quarterback makes receivers, you know, better getting

533
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: the chances. I'm not saying that Matt Barkley's second coming.

534
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: It was just nice seeing the throws where they were

535
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be receivers to be able to make plays.

536
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: That was amazing to actually see the receivers look like

537
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: receivers and actually we're actually Bill to get the ball

538
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: where he need the ball. That's what I want to say. Yeah, yeah,

539
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: I think the receivers get some credit to for being

540
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: in the right place and going to get the ball,

541
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: most of them. Anyway, I thought I mentioned this to

542
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: you on the ten AM Show. The second catch by

543
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: Robert Foster, like twenty three yards, that was a spectacular catch.

544
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: He went up and brought it down. It was a

545
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: great cat. Yeah. And Zay Jones did a fantastic job

546
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: on third downs. I mean he had five of the

547
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: eight conversions for them, including you know his touchdown catch

548
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: which was a third and goal situation. But Barkley, the

549
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: thing that impressed me the most about him was we're

550
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: talking limited reps during the week, twelve days on the job.

551
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't been thrown to these receivers since

552
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: April or May. He's been thrown to him since last week.

553
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: And to see the timing element so consistent. You know,

554
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: your guy comes in twelve days, you know, after signing

555
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: and starts a football game. I don't think you're expecting

556
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: everything to be buttoned up in the passing game. And

557
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: there were a couple of errand throws that were tipped

558
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: in the air. Unfortunately we're not intercepted. But we're talking

559
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: about two or three, Yeah, maybe two or three out

560
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: of the whole game, when I mean when he found somebody,

561
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: he put it on him. And I was just impressed

562
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: with how good the timing was between Barkley and that

563
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: receiving corps. Knowing the run up in terms of reps

564
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: was very small going into this game, and I was

565
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: impressed by how many, how few errors there were in

566
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: terms of just the you know, getting the system down

567
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 1: right right, getting the play calls in. Never never did

568
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: Barkeley have to use the time out or never appeared

569
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: to look to the sideline to say give me that

570
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: one again or anything it would know he had it

571
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: were really solid. And his passer rating of one seventeen

572
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: point four I think it was, is the second highest

573
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: for a first career start with the Bills in team history.

574
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: The only guy with a better first career start was

575
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: Jim Kelley one nineteen. Wow. So pretty pretty high up there.

576
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna put it all together getting

577
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: one kick at the Barkley did it yesterday. Hey, Bill's fans,

Speaker 1: like what what just went on? That was kind of surreal,

606
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: It really was how how fast we got up and

607
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: just an ultimate team win. I mean that was that

608
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: was a pretty good, pretty good win. When did you

609
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: get word that you were going to be the starter? Uh? Friday? Friday? No?

610
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 1: Is it Saturday morning? Okay, Saturday morning? And then uh

611
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: did we kind of stop and say, whoa, let's go

612
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: right there, we go, let's do this. I was all

613
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: all for it, did you? You know? You look through

614
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: the course of the week. I think Josh was getting

615
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: some of the reps in team so bad enough. You're

616
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: only here twelve days to kind of get yourself adjusted.

617
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: You weren't even getting all the first team reps this

618
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: past week, right, No, Wednesday didn't get many reps, and

619
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: then Thursday we were kind of splending them, and then

620
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: the same thing with Friday, and then the decision was made.

621
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: So how comfortable unease? I know you We talked to

622
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: you on Friday and you said, I feel pretty comfortable

623
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: with knowing this game plan. Yeah, but still I have

624
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: to believe you'd prefer to get all the first team

625
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: reps Wednesday, third sing Friday. Yeah, that's ideal, and I

626
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: think that'll come. But this game plan was was pretty simple.

627
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: We knew that we were going to get a lot

628
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: of a lot of man and we just had to

629
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: win our matchups and as a quarterback. That's always a

630
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: fun game plan because you just get to pick a

631
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: side and work your guys and put a ball that

632
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: they can catch the first play the past the Robert

633
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: Foster forty seven yards? Was that always the first player?

634
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: Did you have to see something at the line of scrimmags?

635
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: Now you actually, Well, Davel came out to me and

636
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: warm ups and it's like, do you want to go

637
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: double goal on the first play? It's like, hey, yeah,

638
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's start off with them. Who do

639
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: you want to do that? What do you think it's thinking? Was?

640
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he just felt I kind

641
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: of felt a different kind of energy in our team

642
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: just from warm ups. Guys were kind of just a

643
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: little more upbeat and uh and we knew Robert has

644
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: so much speed that we like to move the top

645
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: you you know, I asked coach about this after the game,

646
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: the addition of him and Isaiah mccah. I know you've

647
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: only been here twelve days, but it just seemed like

648
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: speed on the field was just sorely lacking, whether you

649
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: want to say, out on the edges or wherever. And

650
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: it seemed like defenses over the last several weeks opposing

651
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: defenses have been able to just kind of say, we're

652
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: going to load the box because nobody's threatening any other

653
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: part of the field for this offense. How much of

654
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: a difference did not only after that first play to Robert,

655
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: but even Isaiah and a few times he was on

656
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: the field with you on offense changed the dynamic for

657
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: the Jets defense where now they've got to cover the

658
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: whole field. Yeah, I think the speed on the outside

659
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: and with Isaiah definitely definitely added in a different dimension

660
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: to our offense, which we which we needed because we

661
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: have big bodies. We can run the ball, but when

662
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: they do load the box like that, you have to

663
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: be able to throw outside. And that was that was

664
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: our answer. With Matt Barclay Builds quarterback who produced helped

665
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: produce that win yesterday against the New York Jets. Let's

666
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: talk about the second touchdown the past to no I'm sorry,

667
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: the third touchdown the past to Deon Dawkins. How many

668
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: times did you rep that play out in practice? When

669
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: you maybe once yea, And what did you see that

670
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: made you think it would work right there? Well, it's

671
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: a man beater when you you know the owners going

672
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: over with the motion and he's just left pretty much

673
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: one on one backside with that defensive end like he

674
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: would be if he was blocking him. So he just

675
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: swiped him by and leaked out into the flat area,

676
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: and I kind of lost him for a second before

677
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: before I found him. Then I'm just glad he caught it.

678
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: You guys weren't necessarily going no huddle, but there was

679
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: a distinct tempo to the way you I mean, you

680
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: were snapping early in the play clock for a good

681
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: portion of that first half. Just maybe talk about the

682
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: thinking there with coach Dable, because I mean it clearly

683
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: had the Jets on their heels where they sometimes there's

684
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot of gesticulating and pointing, and that's got to

685
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: be a good feeling as a quarterback when you see

686
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: defense jumping around like that. But just maybe talk about

687
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: the plan to kind of get get off the snap

688
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: early in the play clock. Yeah, some of the plays

689
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: are are a little longer and have more shifts and motions,

690
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: so those kind of have to be drawn out a

691
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: little bit. But on the plays where they were pretty

692
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: simple and you didn't have any motions and you could

693
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: quit count them, we figured that we just yeah, need

694
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: to put him on their and get the get the

695
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: ball snapped. Um. I like that faster kind of tempo

696
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: of I feel like it gets the offense in a rhythm. Yeah, yeah,

697
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: I think it did help us yesterday, Chris, We're just

698
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: talking about defensive gesticulation in motion, but it struck me too, offense,

699
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: you never had It never appeared that you had a

700
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: sense of what was that call or what You never

701
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: had to use the time out to get a call

702
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: recalled or anything. You seem to be familiar with what

703
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: was being sent into you and what was required that. Yeah,

704
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: Deabo was real clear with everything, and I think just

705
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: the time that I've spent upstairs after after practice, these

706
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: late nights and early mornings, just kind of getting on

707
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: the same page with him as a play caller and

708
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: understanding what he wants and and everything, that definitely helped.

709
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I didn't feel like we had any hiccups

710
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: with the operation aspect of the game. I know I

711
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: asked you this in post game, but we've we've seen

712
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: Zay Jones over the past year plus trying to find

713
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: a role in the scope of the offense, and it

714
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: looked like the chemistry between you and him, particularly on

715
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: third down. And I know you said he wasn't was

716
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: your first bread but still in all you guys have

717
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: eight third down conversions yesterday, he's got five of them yesterday.

718
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was getting open and uh and

719
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: we had after just watching the tape, there were a

720
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: lot of other guys getting open too. Um. But yeah,

721
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: the way my reads took it, Um, he just found

722
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: the windows to to get those first downs. His touchdown catch.

723
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: He took a while to get open, but you were

724
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: patient enough and you really yeah, you just had that

725
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: feel the pocket, whether you have time or not. And uh, yeah,

726
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: there it is. And I felt him squeaking up the

727
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: middle with the safety pushing over the left. He was

728
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: kind of following my eyes. So again, he just found

729
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: a way to get in that open window. Do you

730
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: you know, where do you you review the film? You say, man,

731
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: that that went really well yesterday. So how do you

732
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: kind of compartmentalize that into just one game? Obviously you

733
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: want to build off of it, and the team does too,

734
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: but how do you kind of compartmentalize what yesterday was

735
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: and not get maybe too far ahead of yourself. Well, yeah,

736
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: I think it's important too to kind of take the

737
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: emotion out of it when you're watching the game because

738
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: of how much fun that wasn't for a team to

739
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: get a win like that was huge. But at the

740
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: same time you have to critically analyze that film. I mean,

741
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: there were some plays that were too close for comfort

742
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: for me, just some of the corner trying to drop

743
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: balls over corners that were coming back underneath some of

744
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: those tip balls. So there are definitely things that that

745
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: we can improve on moving forward. But in the end,

746
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: we got the win, and that's the biggest thing. With

747
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Matt Barkley, you sent something interesting in the

748
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: in the post game that it got my attention. I've

749
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: been thinking about it actually all night when somebody asked

750
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: you if you needed to show people that you had

751
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: this in you this type of game, and you kind

752
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: of indicated that you always knew you had this and

753
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: maybe you just didn't get a chance. So last year, right,

754
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: you've been out for a year, haven't played, You haven't

755
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: done anything really since the summer. What have these last

756
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: two months been like for you, just not having that

757
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: chance to play. Yeah, it's been a wild journey, and

758
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean from from tearing my knee and the rehab

759
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: to get back, the support group that I've had from

760
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: my wife and my family and my parents, the doctors

761
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: and the rehab specialists. I mean, there's a lot of

762
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: people involved to get me to where I'm today. So

763
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty cool to look back on, especially after

764
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: yesterday in that win, and to see just where I've

765
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 1: come from the meet. I was even laughing with Shady,

766
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, from where I came from as a rookie

767
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: playing with him in Philly and all that I didn't

768
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: know and all that I thought I was, and how

769
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: much I've learned and grown since then. It's it's pretty cool.

770
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: What have you learned, you think in the last let's

771
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: say a year or so since you really played meaningful Yeah,

772
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, even since I played in Chicago. I think

773
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: just the quarterbacks I played it. I went back and

774
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: played with Carson, you know, in Arizona and got a

775
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: little taste of Shanahan's offense and in San Francisco and

776
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: just all these different environments of football that that pieced

777
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: together who I am today. And I think just learning

778
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: to really focus on grit and resiliency even when you

779
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: think people are counting you out, whether that's being cut

780
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: or hurting your knee or whatever it is. To know

781
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: that if if you believe in it, that you can

782
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: still make it happen. That sound like, I'm sorry, yeah,

783
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: it'll sound like good football lessons, but maybe even important

784
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: life lessons moving forward. Huh yeah, absolutely. I mean I

785
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: feel like I'm called to play football, and so if

786
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: you feel like you have a calling in life and

787
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: we're determined to make it work, then then he will.

788
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: What about the speed of the game. I think there

789
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: were a lot of people that were saying, well, yes,

790
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: you know he was with Cincinnati, he played some preseason,

791
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: but even the one start you get in the preseason,

792
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: that's when you tear your knee up. Yeah, and you're

793
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: you're not on the field for very long. And I

794
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: think we can all agree that preseason game four doesn't

795
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: exactly replicate regular season speed. So was there was it?

796
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: What was it? First series? Second series? I'm back in

797
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: the speed, the timings there, my clock, my internal clocks think.

798
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: I think just during the week here getting reps with

799
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: these guys, to be honest, help me get back into

800
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: that mode. And once I mean, you hit pretty good warmups,

801
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: you get a little sweat going on the field during

802
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: the game. By that time you're taking the first snap,

803
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: you're it's your adrenaline stuff. Anyways, Yeah, you're you're You're

804
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: just in your element and your plan. And I wasn't

805
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: thinking about, uh yeah, where I had been, or if

806
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't ready or anything like that. We've talked about

807
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: where you have been in your history. Let's fast forward

808
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: a little bit here too, at least a couple of

809
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: weeks out. What are your expectations, What are your hopes

810
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville game? What role do you think they

811
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: might have for him? What are you looking for? I

812
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: I have no clue, I really. I mean, we have

813
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: a bye week coming up, which I will soak in

814
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: and go back to California to Hay with my family. Um,

815
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: missing them, but we're taking this, yeah, even one day

816
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: at a time and one week at a time. But

817
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has got a solid team and a solid defense.

818
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: So UM, I don't know what we're gonna do, but

819
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: I'll be ready. I heard a rumor that when you

820
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 1: were back in Philly that well Sean called you Mark?

821
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: Is that right? Did he used to call you Mark? Barkley. Yeah,

822
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: he said he was joking about it, but you genuinely

823
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: believe he didn't know you. I think he thought my

824
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: name was Mark. But people kind of say that sometimes

825
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 1: because they get ahead of themselves and started to say Barkley,

826
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: I think, and just started to say Mark Barkley. I

827
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: don't know, but yeah, he played it off, but I

828
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: think I knew. What was a man? Tell me you're

829
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: going you're going back home to uh what do you say?

830
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: Newport Beach, California? Got two little boys back there? Wi

831
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: a little boy, two boys. My wife's been a rock

832
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: star holding down the house for us. And uh yeah,

833
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: they're they're already little football fans three and two. So

834
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: you gotta bring my up here for a game. I

835
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: know soon enough they'll they'll be out here. You h

836
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: So when when players have a bye week like this,

837
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: that's so close, I mean, this is as late as

838
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: the bye weeks get. So so close to Thanksgiving, you

839
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: guys gonna do like an early Thanksgiving this week? You

840
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: thank you. We may with family. Um, I don't even know.

841
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: She probably has something. I know how that yet I

842
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: have a great week. We thank you for spending a

843
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: few minutes with us here today. Appreciate it. Thank you guys,

844
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Matt Barkley, the quarterback and led the Bills

845
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: to victory yesterday, joining us in studio. Chris and I

846
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: back with more One Bills Live from One Bill Driving.

847
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: This is Buffa Build Radio. Welcome back to one of

848
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: those Live. John Murphy and Chris Brown is in today

849
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: for Steve. If that was high insistence we need new music,

850
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: I said, was that you on guitar? Yes, damn it

851
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: out laid down a few licks. Steve will be back tomorrow.

852
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: Steve's on his way back from his game, his CBS

853
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: game in Green Bay yesterday. It was good talking with

854
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley, wasn't it. I felt, you know what, there's

855
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: something interesting going on there and people. You know, his

856
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: numbers were not fantastic yesterday, but he was good and

857
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: he made a difference. And I believe, and I tried

858
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: to get him to talk about I believe it has

859
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: something to do with maybe a sense of desperation and

860
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: last chance that he might have. He didn't really admit

861
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: to that, but you know what I mean, just thinking

862
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: he just spent two months at home. We're covering from

863
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: a knee injury. Maybe wondering is that it for me

864
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Gets a chance to come here and play,

865
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 1: gets a chance to come here and start. And I

866
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: just thought he was focused and driven and on task yesterday.

867
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: And I was really impressed by that, more than any

868
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: of his numbers were, than any of his throws. His

869
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: complete command of what the Buffalo Bills wanted to do

870
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: on offense impressed me most yesterday. He was locked in

871
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: and more importantly, he was aggressive. Yeah. Now that's not

872
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: to say that Derek Anderson wasn't aggressive when he came

873
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: in against the Colts. He was, but that was a

874
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: much different defensive scheme that he was facing than you know,

875
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: Barkley was facing. Here. You needed your guys to win

876
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: one on one matchups against the team to plays a

877
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: good deal of man defense, and for the most part,

878
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: they did, and when he saw them win, the ball

879
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: was coming out. He was also supported by a very

880
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: productive run game, so the Jets were not in a

881
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: position to pin their ears back. They were up early,

882
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: so they really had the full playbook to work with.

883
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: They were in manageable down and distance, so a lot

884
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: of things did fall his way, but he was a

885
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: part of the reason why why those things fell the

886
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: Bill's way on offense. So when you were given that

887
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: opportunity and you can take advantage of it to the

888
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: degree that he did yesterday, I think there's at least

889
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: a remote chance that he gets another opportunity. Yeah, we'll see.

890
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: I think he's definitely earned an opportunity to stick around

891
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: for a while here on the roster. Maybe. Yeah, yeah, sure,

892
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: think that's a lock. Yeah, I think he's one of

893
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 1: the however many they decide to keep here when everybody's healthy,

894
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully we can get some light shed

895
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: on that today from coach McDermott when he talks live

896
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: at one thirty, which we'll carry right here. You know,

897
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: when Anderson gets out of the concussion protocol, you know

898
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: there's going to be a decision to make because Josh

899
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: Allen looks like he's pretty much healthy at this point,

900
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: so they're not going to keep four quarterbacks on the roster.

901
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: I think Barkley at the very least cemented himself a

902
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: spot on the roster when everybody's healthy. I think everybody's

903
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. I

904
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are of the opinion that

905
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: Peterman could be the guy that's moved off the roster

906
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: because you're not going to keep four. I think we

907
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: all know that. One thing I think I've learned the

908
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: last two years though, Chris, don't try to predict what

909
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: the Bills. Oh, I'm not predicting, especially at quarterbacks. Yes, yes,

910
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: they've They've surprised me more than once over the last

911
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: couple of years. Hey. Maybe he was inspired like many

912
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: of his teammates were, by the pregame visit and speech

913
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: Saturday night team meeting, full team meeting at the Weston

914
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: Hotel in Jersey City and one of the Bill's great fans,

915
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: Pancho being superfan. Superfan Pancho Bia, came in all the

916
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: way from Texas to deliver the team's pregame inspirational message

917
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: on Saturday Night. Here's what he had to say. Orlando, No,

918
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm just messing. I saw you all faces, You're like,

919
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: what I got you? Hey, you gotta line up the motive,

920
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: you know. I wanted to, uh, let you all know

921
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: that what you guys go through, us regular people go

922
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: through what I'm going through. Stage four metastatic. I don't

923
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: know carcinoma of the billiary pank reatic. It took me

924
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: a while to learn that my last scan didn't look

925
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: too good. Things got worse. The doctor wasn't too promising

926
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: about it. I know it's crazy. I seriously take my

927
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: mask and all the time to every treatment because when

928
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: I put the mask on, it just gives me an

929
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: extra boost of energy. I'm sure just as you guys

930
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: put on the helmet, it gives you an extra boost

931
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: of energy. So I can relate to you guys in

932
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: that aspect. Obviously, I'm getting poison pushed through me and

933
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: you guys are getting hit. It's the same thing the

934
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: fans everywhere. I get messages from Germany, Guys, Chile, Argentina, Africa,

935
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: there's bills mafia everywhere. I get messages from everywhere pushed

936
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: you for me. That family. They love you guys, just

937
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: like my family loves me, and they show up to

938
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: the next chemo treatment with me with that same positive

939
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: the attitude we show up every Sunday for you guys. Lastly,

940
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: I won't take much more of your time. I want

941
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: to unmask myself a bit because you guys ain't wearing

942
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: your helmets. There's my master's my helmet. I'm a regular guy.

943
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: Two kids, I'm a mortician. That's what I do for

944
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: a living and been doing it for seventeen years. I'm

945
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: thirty nine years old, just regular guy on the street

946
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: and I'm just a big buffalo Bill's thing. But when

947
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: I put on that mask, it's on, baby, I know

948
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: it's on. When you guys put on that helmet, I say,

949
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: Puncho Power one two. Yeah, baby, that's what it sounded

950
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: like Saturday night, Puncho BA at the Bills headquarters hotel,

951
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: addressing the team, and it paid off, apparently, and the

952
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: Bills got the message, including Zay Jones. When he caught

953
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: his touchdown pass, he pulled a little towel out of

954
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,959
Speaker 1: his belt and it said that right, it said, Poncho Power. Yeah,

955
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: well it's Pa n c Ho. We got to talk

956
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: to say it's not po He spelled it like that

957
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: like the rain guardment where yeah, so we'll but we'll

958
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: get it to him. Yeah, it's all good. And the

959
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: thought was there and that's what counts. And even in

960
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: the locker room afterwards, and you can see coach McDermott's

961
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: postgame speech to the team, they kind of broke down

962
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: the locker room by saying that Ponto power. Yeah, And

963
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: you know there's different way. You know, coaches are always

964
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: looking for different ways to find inspiration to push their

965
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: team forward. You know, this is a team that was

966
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: mired in a four game losing streak, and sometimes as

967
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: a coach you've got to go a different way to

968
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: kind of summon up the inspiration in a different fashion.

969
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: And I think going the fan route admittedly was a risk.

970
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't know what kind of public speaker

971
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: Poncho B is, Like can he put you know, can

972
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: he put thoughts together and give you an inspiring message.

973
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: This is a guy dealing with stage four cancer. You

974
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: know he's fighting right now. But I think coach saw

975
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: the parallels and I think Poncho did also. Ezra Castro's

976
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: his real name, But I think Asra saw there were

977
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: some parallels that he could draw upon to try to

978
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: help inspire the players, and you know, they were ready

979
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: to roll. It's kind of a neat side story to

980
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: yesterday's victory. All right, when we come back, James Lofton's

981

00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: They will scatter shortly for essentially the rest of the week,

994
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: with a bye week coming up. The Bills, coming off

995
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: their forty one to ten victory over the New York

996
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: Jets at MetLife Stadium yesterday, Bill scored thirty one points

997
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: in the first half, the most sport and a half

998
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: since twenty eleven, when they scored thirty five in a

999
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders. They held the Jets to one

1000
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: hundred ninety nine total yards. That's the first time the

1001
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: team has held their opponents in two hundred yards or

1002
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: less in consecutive games since nineteen ninety nine. No word

1003
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: yet on what the quarterback situation will be whether Josh

1004
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: Allen will be able to return on November twenty fifth,

1005
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: when the Bills play their next game home against the

1006
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. The New York Jets do not plan on

1007
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: firing Todd Bowls during the season anyway. That report from

1008
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: the NFL Network. They report that even after yesterday's lost

1009
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: to the Bills, the Jets do not plan on making

1010
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: any changes during the season. The Bengals became the first

1011
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: team in the Super Bowl era they give up five

1012
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: hundred or more yards in three straight games, and they

1013
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator today, Tarrell Austin has been let go.

1014
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: Austin joined the Bengals this season after being with the

1015
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: Lions for three years. Before that, Ram's wide receiver or

1018
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and the New Orleans Saints are

1019
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: ready to sign Brandon Marshall as a wide receiver. He

1020
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: was released by the Seahawks on October thirtieth, Monday, Night

00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,680

1027
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: to number twenty six. And you'd be beat West Virginia

1028
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: on Friday night, and so they move up to twenty five.

1029

Speaker 1: the Chech yesterday. Former Bills wide receiver Hall of Famer

1040
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: James Lofton, who cover the game yesterday for the NFL

1041

Speaker 1: on CBS, James, John Murphy, and Chris Brown here in Buffalo.

1042
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. We appreciate him. You know. Now

1043
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: you use the word shocking, and I will agree to

1044
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 1: a small extent, it was shocking because of the margin

1045
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: of victory. Yeah, yeah, because you don't see wins like

1046
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: that in the NFL very often. The Saints had a

1047
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: big win, Yeah, they beat the Panthers fifty two to

1048
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: twenty one. But you don't see thirty point wins on

1049
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: a regular basis. You know. We've had a lot of

1050
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: tie games in close games. Yeah, this NFL season. Yeah,

1051
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: And I asked you this on the elevator coming down

1052
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: yesterday from the press box area. How does how does

1053
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: the Buffalo team, which is you know, scoring about six

1054
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: points per game over the last month, all of a

1055
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: sudden put up forty one points? What did you see there?

1056
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: Was it the early the quick start? What happened there?

1057
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: How did they get that forty one point outburst yesterday? Well,

1058
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: the quick start certainly helped. If you are drawing up

1059
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: the results of those plays before they happen, you're thinking,

1060
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: at best case scenario. You know, we want to throw deep,

1061
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get illegal contact, pick up five yards, and

1062
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: then on the run to McCoy, you know, it's just

1063
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: a you know, straight stretch play and maybe we'll pick

1064
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: up six yards there. But seventy five yards in the

1065
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: first two plays, and and it didn't really slow down

1066
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: a lot after that. I was I was really impressed.

1067
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: I talked to a couple of the Bills coaches before

1068
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: the game, and they said, we're going to throw the

1069
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 1: ball down the field. And in my mind, I'm trying

1070
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: to think, well, maybe short passing game takes more time.

1071
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: This way, you know, you can load up on play

1072
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: action pass, you keep an extra blocker or two and

1073
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: to protect, and you got to two or three men

1074
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: route down the field. But the success that they had

1075
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: thrown them all down the field was pretty special. So

1076
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 1: looking at this game in totality, you know, on both sides, James,

1077
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: do you feel it was kind of a perfect storm. Basically,

1078
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: the Bills playing perhaps their most efficient game of the season,

1079
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: particularly on offense, and the Jets playing probably their worst.

1080
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't even look like they showed up yesterday.

1081
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: But you know, when you when you go back, and

1082
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten a chance to look at the game again,

1083
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: but when I just closed my eyes and I think

1084
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: about Lashawn McCoy running starting to the right and then

1085
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 1: bending back to the left, and when you bend back

1086
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: the blocks of the left guard and the left tackle.

1087
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: You know, you know, in this case, Wyatt Teller and

1088
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins have to be on point. They have to

1089
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: have their bodies on the bodies of the guys so

1090
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: that you can have those cutback runs. And they had them,

1091
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: and I thought, the great thing Deon Dawkins. I don't

1092
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: know if it's if it's his mom or his grandmam mother.

1093
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 1: We're sitting kind of right below us, and we saw

1094
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: her taking pictures, you know, before the game. We saw

1095
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: the number seventy three and the name Dawkins on the

1096
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: back of the shirt. And then for Dawkins to have

1097
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: on the red shoes as if to say, you know,

1098
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: when I run this route, which we got in the

1099
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: game plan, I got the red shoes on. Don't forget

1100
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: about bad because you probably don't know my name, but

1101
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 1: you know the red shoes. So it was like you said,

1102
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: a perfect storm on a lot of things, and for me,

1103
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: It was interesting because I always try and you know,

1104
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: stay down in the middle and not root too much

1105
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: for one of my former teams when I'm doing a game,

1106
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: and this one was was a lot of fun to

1107
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: do for me. James played sixteen seasons in the NFL

1108
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer. Now with the NFL on CBS,

1109
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: James Lofton had the game yesterday, had the broadcast on CBS,

1110
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: the Bills win over the Jets. What did you make

1111
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: of Matt Barkley? Did that surprise you, James, Well, when

1112
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: we met with him, it was interesting because he was

1113
00:53:54,239 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: really calm, confident, but not cocky. And I have followed

1114
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley probably since he was in high school. You know,

1115
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: being here in southern California, you hear all these guys

1116
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: when they're coming out of high school, how good they

1117
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: are a quarterback, and I'm thinking, well, if he's that good,

1118
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: he should go to Stanford. But going to USC obviously

1119
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: and playing for Pete Carroll and then Lane Kiffin, and

1120
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: you know Lane being somebody that I had coached with

1121
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: one of the one yards with the Raiders on their

1122
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: coaching staff. So you just kind of followed these young

1123
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: men and you know, had some real high ups at

1124
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,720
Speaker 1: USC and then shoulder injury, and people don't realize. Remember

1125
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: when Aaron Rodgers got knocked out by Anthony Barr and

1126
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: hurt his shoulder. Anthony Barr also hurt Matt Barkley and

1127
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: hurt his shoulder, So that you know, kind of a

1128
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, a weird type of thing right there, and

1129
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: you know it cost Matt a couple of rounds and

1130
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, when you're not a first

1131
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,959
Speaker 1: round pick, people start looking at things that you don't

1132
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: do real well, or they look at the guys who

1133
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: were in front of you and you know, trying to

1134
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: find a spot for you on the field. So, you know,

1135
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: great for Matt Barkley yesterday and the way that it

1136
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: will probably helped resurrect his career again. James. We talked

1137
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: a little bit about this already on the show today,

1138
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 1: but the addition of speed to the receiving corps for

1139
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: the Bills made a dramatic impact. I don't know how

1140
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: many of their previous games who had reviewed in terms

1141
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 1: of how defenses were playing them, but it was very

1142
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: clear that they felt no threat of getting beat over

1143
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: the top. The last several weeks and I asked coach

1144
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: McDermott after the game about it, and he said, yeah,

1145
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: we felt that was an area that was lacking. So

1146
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: they call Foster up from the practice squad on Saturday.

1147
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: You know, they get McKenzie off waivers this week, and

1148
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: those two guys seemed to force the Jets to cover

1149
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: the entire field and not just crowd the box. What

1150
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: did you see, Well, you know, the very first play

1151
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: of the game, and you know that the coaches want

1152
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: you to throw a deep ROUTCT goal route. The one

1153
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: thing that the quarterbacks have to really guard against that

1154
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: on that ball is not throwing that out of bounce

1155
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: because a lot of receivers when they go by the cornerback,

1156
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: they'll they'll tend to fade towards the sideline. And as

1157
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,720
Speaker 1: I as I watched Foster, he really went tight around

1158
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: the corner, just the way that you draw it up.

1159
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 1: And then remember how the ball faded him a little

1160
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: bit to the sideline as opposed to being more upfield

1161
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: because he had a step and a half on him.

1162
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: And if and if it's a little more accurate throw,

1163
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: there's a seventy five yard touchdown to start the game.

1164
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: But I think that, you know, getting a forty seven

1165
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: yard catch and the twenty eight yard run afterwards just

1166
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: did a lot for everybody because going into the game

1167
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 1: was Lashawn McCoy twenty four carries twenty four yards in

1168
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: the last three games like that, Yeah, and so for

1169
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: him to kind of get off and have a good game,

1170
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: I think was just good for everybody emotionally. And really

1171
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: the cherry on top of it was Leon Dawkins catching

1172
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 1: that path and caught it right in his hands too,

1173
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 1: didn't even body catch it, So that was great. Hey, James,

1174
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: you you did what two weeks ago today, the Bills

1175
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: Monday night game against the Patriots here in the Orchard

1176
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: Park did How much different was that Buffalo team yesterday?

1177
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we we'd like to think that maybe we

1178
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: can point to improvement, and certainly they played differently yesterday

1179
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: than they did two weeks ago. But are they on

1180
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: the right track? I guess to the question I'm asking,

1181
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, And I haven't gone back and looked at

1182
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: the game from yesterday, and I haven't looked at the

1183
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: game tape, but there were a couple of plays when

1184
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: I watched Wyatt Teller play and Andrew pointed out, you know,

1185
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: he was the king of the bench press at the combine.

1186
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: And one player that I point out was where you

1187
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: pancake the guy? Yeah, and you you really don't see

1188
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: pancake blocks. Maybe you'll see a you know, guard pancake

1189
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: a cornerback on the screen, but you don't see lineman

1190
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: on lineman pancake very often. And that was that was

1191
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: pretty impracticed. So I didn't watch him the whole game.

1192
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: But when I when I kind of think about what

1193
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: that left side was doing on the cutback runs, he

1194
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: must have graded out pretty well for the coaches. I bet.

1195
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's talk to you about the other

1196
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: team out there. And that's the second consecutive Jets game

1197
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: that you did. You had the loss on CBS in

1198
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: Miami the week before. They look disinterested yesterday, wouldn't you agree? Well?

1199
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: The hard thing for me is that I have coached.

1200
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: I've been around a lot of position coaches and coordinators

1201
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: and head coaches who are now my friends, and it's

1202
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: just so disappointing. I hate to talk about guys being

1203
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: on a hot seat, and I know that it's tough

1204
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: to be fired because everything about you like the Jets.

1205
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned that we had them against Miami

1206
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: the week before and they lose in a game thirteen

1207
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: to six where the only toutsound scored is an intercepting

1208
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: return against them. And so they fought and they battled,

1209
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: and by the time they got to Friday's practice, the

1210
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: spirits were elevated again. Guys are running around, flying around,

1211
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: having a good time, and they're ready for the game.

1212
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: And they're going to enter the game with Josh McCown,

1213
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: a guy who had played well for him, you know,

1214
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: a year ago, had had a great game against the

1215
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills a year ago in December. And I hate

1216
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: to summarize and say, oh, they were disinterested they want

1217
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: because I just don't always think that's the case. I

1218
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: just think that the Buffalo Bills made key plays and

1219
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: that momentum swing. You know, you might look at the

1220
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and the thing that I noticed there is that,

1221
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, on every play it seemed like there was

1222
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill knocking back a New York Jet whether

1223
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: his offensive very defensively, and that by that point of

1224
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: the game, that's that's kind of can be expected when

1225
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: it's a blowout a game. But early in the game.

1226
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills were just making the play. And you

1227
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: go back and I don't think it was a lack

1228
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: of effort or like you said, guys being disinterested, because

1229
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: when I watched Jamal Adams played number thirty three for

1230
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: the Jets, Yeah, he's never disinterested, You're right, yeah, And

1231
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: so the effort level is always there. But the defensive

1232
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: lineman and Leonard Williams, you know, he had a couple

1233
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: of plays where he penetrated, but he was kind of

1234
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: like the lone wolf. Wouldn't he was doing it, So

1235
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, put the praise on the Buffalo Bills. That's

1236
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: the way I look at it, you know. I The

1237
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: thing though, that I think has set up this narrative

1238
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: for Todd Bowles, unfortunately, is this team had a boatload

1239
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: of cap space to make use of this offseason. I

1240
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: think they spent close to eighty eight million dollars on

1241
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: new contracts just in this calendar year alone. And the

1242
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: team is three and seven, So people are, you know,

1243
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: getting ready to like torches and walk around with pitchforks

1244
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: in New York. But that I mean, it's almost like

1245
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: that set things up for bull if it goes the

1246
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: wrong way. It was going to be his head on

1247
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: the stick. Yeah, and that's part of the job description.

1248
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: There are two great jobs in the NFL. One the

1249
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: day you get hired as the head coach and two

1250
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: the day you get drafted as a top ten quarterback.

1251
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: That those are the ultimate jobs and you feel great

1252
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: about them. You think about you know, Josh Allen and

1253
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, think about the grins that they had when

1254
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: they were standing in there next to Roger Goodell with

1255
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Bill's hat on, respectively. Think about

1256
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: any head coach in his introductory press conference he is

1257
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: grinning from ear to ear because you've reached the goal

1258
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,959
Speaker 1: and from there. Unfortunately, for the most part and most

1259
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: of the time, it's probably about a forty thirty five

1260
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: percent success ratio where you're really going to succeed and

1261
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: really gonna be something special because you look at the

1262
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: resumes of coaches and they've had more than one or

1263
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: two jobs. Yeah, that's why you enjoyed broadcasting more than coaching, right,

1264
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: that's yes. I haven't lost a game in the boot

1265
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: a lot of years. Hey, James, thanks for this. It

1266
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: was good to catch up with the yesterday and good

1267
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: to hear from you again today. We appreciate it. Go Bills.

1268
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: Thanks James James lofton Pro Football Hall of Famer, sixteen

1269
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL, several with the Buffalo Bills, eight

1270
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: Pro Bowld appearances. Now with Andrew Catalan on the NFL

1271
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 1: on CBS, said the Bills and the Jets yesterday, John

1272
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: Murphy and Chris Brown. It's One Bills Live from One

1273
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. Sean mcdermotre going to meet with the media momentarily.

1274
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: We will pick that up lives as soon as he does.

1275
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: In the meantime, let's hear from you your biggest takeaway

1276
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: from the Buffalo Bills victory over the Jets yesterday. What

1277
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: do you think? Eight oh three five fifty toll free

1278
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty or

1279
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: you can do it on Twitter at One Bills Live.

1280
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Who's call on the line from Kevin and Hamburg. Hello, Kevin,

1281
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. All right, How are

1282
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: you doing? Okay? Good? I know people want to see

1283
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in because he's the face of the future,

1284
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: but I'd like to see if Barkley does good against

1285
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: one more bad football team and Jacksonville maybe decent, but

1286
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: they're not Jacksonville. They're not going to force no five

1287
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: picks like they did against Pittsburgh. I'd like to see

1288
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: him get one more crack at maybe a stinky team.

1289
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: To what end, Kevin, What's to what end? One more

1290
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: cracking another I don't know, Maybe get Allan ready for

1291
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Miami or that first week in December, but I'd like

1292
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: to see him try against Jacksonville and we beat them,

1293
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: then maybe you can watch another Alan washing the sideline.

1294
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: I think Barkley can have a one more crack at Jacksonville.

1295
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to see that, Okay, and I get that

1296
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: I disagree, but I get how people feel that way.

1297
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: It is about wins, it is about gratification, obviously on

1298
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: a weekly basis if you can. But this season, Chris

1299
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: has always been about developing Josh Allen and I don't know. Well, again,

1300
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to predict what the Bills will do

1301
01:03:56,680 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback because I've been wrong several times. I don't

1302
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to veer off the course of

1303
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: getting Josh Allen ready for long term future success in

1304
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: the NFL by not letting him play as soon as

1305
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: he is. I don't know if it was top priority

1306
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: from the very get go, but I think once this

1307
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: team hit seven losses, the priorities shifted because with seven

1308
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: losses halfway through the season, you're not going to be

1309
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: challenging for a postseason birth. Your margin of error is

1310
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: too thin, especially with a team that's had as many

1311
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: problems as this team. I'm not saying they can't run

1312
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: off some wins, but it's clear to me that even

1313
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: the coaching staff felt that the priority had shifted. They've

1314
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: got Wyatt Teller in the lineup, Levi Wallace is called

1315
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: up from the practice squad, Robert Foster is called up

1316
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: from the practice squad. They pick up a young player

1317
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: in Isaiah McKenzie off Waivers. All these players are not

1318
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: only on the active roster, they're starting, they're in the lineup.

1319
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: They're there because the priorities have shifted. They've shifted to

1320
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: getting the young kids that they believe are a part

1321
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: of their future on the field so they can get

1322
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: valuable experience. So Josh Allen is very much in that boat.

1323
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: He's probably the first person you have in line for that.

1324
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: So it's clear to me that the coaching staff has

1325
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: made the decision that we're moving forward with the young

1326
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: players on this roster and developing them is priority one.

1327
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: If it's not priority one and winning is still priority one,

1328
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: well then there might be a different decision. But priority

1329
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: one a then is to get these young players ready

1330
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: and some valuable experience so they're that much better and

1331
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: ready for action in twenty nineteen. Thanks for your call.

1332
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to a call from right right where from Lindenville. Yes,

1333
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: I am, okay, go ahead, you're on the air. Okay

1334
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: them only question? I have you been answered? How you want?

1335
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 1: It seems that every time the Bills win a game,

1336
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: if the other team didn't show up, they really don't

1337
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: get all the total credit in the past ten years

1338
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: for any time they've actually played a game and won.

1339
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Been a fan since nineteen sixty and it seems to

1340
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: be consistently that way. I don't know if I agree

1341
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: with that. Um, they beat Tennessee this year, I thought

1342
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: they got credit for that, And I thought I thought

1343
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: they got full credit, full marks for their victory in Minnesota.

1344
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean that that was a good win for the Bills.

1345
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: Correct sees more of the other ways. Oh, then, okay,

1346
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,479
Speaker 1: they got lucky or the other team didn't show up. Yeah,

1347
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think people probably say that when

1348
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: they beat the Bills too. I think that's just kind

1349
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,919
Speaker 1: of the nature of the NFL, don't you, Chris. Yeah,

1350
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: And that's why I qualified what I said. I mean,

1351
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I just don't think the Jets were ready to play yesterday.

1352
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: But I didn't want that to take away from what

1353
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: was probably the most most efficient effort in all three

1354
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: phases by the Bills yesterday. I mean, they were playing

1355
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: lights out football on offense, defense, and special teams. They

1356
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 1: just happened to play a team that could not measure

1357
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: up to them in intensity level, in execution level, and

1358
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: even in anticipation. I mean, the Bills were a step

1359
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: ahead of that team all day long. Now, I also

1360
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: said that even if the Jets did come to play yesterday,

1361
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: the Bills were so efficient that they still would have

1362
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: won that game. Not by thirty one points, but I

1363
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: still think they would have won the football game. What

1364
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: does that add? Coach think we're waiting to hear from him.

1365
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: We'll take a break here. When we come back. We

1366
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: expect that head coach Sean McDermott will be stepping to

1367
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: the podium to talk about yesterday's victory. So come on

1368
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: back here. What the coach says about yesterday's win over

1369
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,280

1383
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean it feels good. Uh, it does. The guys

1384
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: have worked hard and it's been a it's been a

1385
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 1: long ride to get to this point in the season

1386
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: where we've got this late by you know, going through

1387
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: the the games on the road like we had earlier

1388
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: in the year, and and um, the guys pushed through

1389
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: to get to where we are and and got the

1390
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: results that we got yesterday. And it comes it comes

1391
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: back to the energy and the focus. I thought they

1392
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,719
Speaker 1: were focused and they played with a great amount of energy. Sean,

1393
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: when you guys went through that three game stretch last year,

1394
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,600
Speaker 1: you know that some loopside of scorers. Did that experience

1395
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: help you at all navigate through this year when you

1396
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, had a four game stretch for it was

1397
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: free tough going for a while. Yeah, I believe it.

1398
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: It does, and it did this year. Um. You always

1399
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: build on things and you learn lessons from seasons past.

1400
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: But the one thing I've that that'll always stick with

1401
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: me is that every year there's new challenges. Every year

1402
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: you're going to go through. Even when we were fifteen

1403
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 1: and one and went to the Super Bowl in Carolina,

1404
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: There's there's challenges in those years as well. So, um,

1405
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's a test of how long a team

1406
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,560
Speaker 1: can stay together. And with this young football team that

1407
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: we've got to learn from from the adversity that we

1408
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: face and help it to make us strong as me

1409
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: before Washington film. What stood out about Matt did under

1410
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: center beyond the aubus which is obviously avoiding turnovers, Yeah,

1411
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 1: I mean to the avoiding turnovers is big and protecting

1412
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: the football and giving our receivers a chance. I thought, Um,

1413
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, we had some plays that were made on

1414
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: the ballum plays down the field right right from the

1415
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: start with Roberts catch and and some other plays third

1416
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 1: down catches by zay Um. There was a lot of

1417
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: guys that were involved in that, and then that I

1418
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: felt like that opened up the run game a little

1419
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 1: bit as well as Lashauna was good to get him

1420
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 1: going as well. Well, Josh start coming off would corrective healthy,

1421
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: he'll start and given that he was able to practice

1422
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: last week on a limited basis, it seemed like maybe

1423
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 1: he was even close to the final last week in

1424
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: terms of his health. Is that still going in the

1425
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: right direction? It is. Yeah, We're still making progress and um,

1426
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: you know he threw on his rehab again today and

1427
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: and so we'll continue to move forward and take it

1428
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 1: one day at a time. Some some I feel that

1429
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, given you know, Gibble, what Matt did, that's

1430
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: what what's the what's the thinking behind getting getting Josh

1431
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: back in there as soon as he's healthy as opposed

1432
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: to knowing that you know, Matt did a fine job

1433
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: and in overseeing the offense. How do you how do

1434
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: you balance those those two days? Well, you know, Josh

1435
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: as our starter and went healthy and and his development

1436
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 1: is important for him and for us as we move forward,

1437
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: getting experience. You've seen a lot of quarterbacks um this

1438
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 1: season play and that's important that he gets um as

1439
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: many reps as he can get, uh in live game action.

1440
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 1: So um, you know. And then Matt in a separate issue,

1441
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 1: I thought Matt performed extremely well yesterday. There's certainly some

1442
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: place he'd like to have back, but to come in

1443
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: and do what he did on a short on a

1444
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: short run up basically to it was very impressive. And again,

1445
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 1: like I said after the game, I like to look

1446
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: in his eye the energy that he gave our offense

1447
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 1: and um, just managing the game. You know, again it's

1448
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: easier said than done, but you go out there and

1449
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 1: we really didn't have to. We came close a couple

1450
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: of times, but didn't really have to burn a time

1451
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: out with the play clock running down, Um, so that

1452
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:46,799
Speaker 1: that that says a lot about the way he managed

1453
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: the game and led the offense. Also help Josh by

1454
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: seeing what is capable from this offense when you know,

1455
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: did Matt maybe show him not maybe not sent to

1456
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: be a blueprint on how this offense offense can function

1457
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 1: when it's when it's working. Yeah, I mean that's that's

1458
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: the good part about it is Josh has a front

1459
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: or head, a front row seat the last several weeks

1460
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: to watch Derek Anderson and uh a little bit of

1461
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Natan and Offico with Matt yesterday. So, um, there's a

1462
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: lot of things you take and just like all of

1463
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: us when you when you grow, and you take that

1464
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: growth mindset of hey, I'm gonna take I'm gonna be

1465
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: a sponge and take the best I can from the

1466
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: people that are in front of me and people I

1467
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: can learn from. As you get healthier, quarterback, how likely

1468
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: is it that you can have four quarterbacks on the road. Yeah,

1469
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. Those are conversations that Brandon and I'll have

1470
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: this week. Um, along with other positions he is maybe

1471
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: you see it more hockey, but there's a theory or

1472
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: an idea that you don't break up a winning lineup

1473
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 1: or you you you know you ride a hot goaliee

1474
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Uh does that cross over into football at all in

1475
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: terms of you know, if if a guy's doing well,

1476
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: and in this case particular Matt, that you know, maybe

1477
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 1: you give a second thought to keep him in. Uh. Yeah,

1478
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: I always look at that. Um, there's something to be

1479
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 1: said for for energy and momentum and whatnot. At the

1480
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 1: same time, I know what I know what Josh can do,

1481
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,560
Speaker 1: and when healthy, he'll be our starter. Um. But I

1482
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: don't dismiss that, and I certainly appreciate what Matt gave

1483
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: us yesterday. Where's your confidence with Nate? And this is

1484
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: not a second time we've seen a quarterback with us

1485
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: in two weeks experience with the team we brought him,

1486
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: and I'm still confident in Nate. Um. You know, I thought,

1487
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: just like the question with Josh, in a separate way,

1488
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: but also an important way that Nate was Nate had

1489
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: a front row seat to watch jo or Matt come

1490
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: in and handle the offense and do what he did

1491
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: in the last week. Like before you trying to You know,

1492
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 1: we've talked about it with some of the young players.

1493
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: No one want to put them in the lineup. But

1494
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 1: at what point did you know that Matt was ready

1495
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: and had a good grasp on things and you know

1496
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: that you were willing to take that chance on the

1497
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: court notes. Yeah, it was a busy week just in

1498
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 1: terms of managing things and the communication that went along

1499
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: with whether Josh was going to be able to play

1500
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: or not and um, and then the communication that came

1501
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,679
Speaker 1: from from Brian and UH and Matt as it related

1502
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: to Matt's readiness to play. M was important for us

1503
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: as we went into the weekend there. What did you

1504
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: see from MYA McKenzie in this first action coach? Yeah,

1505
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: great energy. Um, you know he was able to make

1506
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: the first guy miss. Um. First of all, track the ball. Um,

1507
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: It's not that stadium is not an easy stadium to

1508
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: track the ball in in terms of the winds and

1509
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,640
Speaker 1: the way they worked there, and so I thought he

1510
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: was steady under the ball number one, and then I

1511
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: was able to make the first guy miss and get

1512
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: up the field and get some positive yards and gave

1513
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: us some good energy and field position. About the defensive

1514
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,639
Speaker 1: effort through all the ups and downs of this season

1515
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: to painting consistency since I was opening first couple of

1516
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: games to be number one in the league at this

1517
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,640
Speaker 1: point yards and to kind of weather that storm of

1518
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: the difficulties of the offense. Yeah, I think coach Fraser

1519
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: and his staff have done. I've done a phenomenal job,

1520
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 1: and there's still a lot of work remains. But the

1521
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: growth that they've they've under gone since those first two

1522
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: games in particular, and the culture that they've started to

1523
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: build on that side of the of the football. UM,

1524
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: with the discipline and the effort. I mean, you watched

1525
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, to name just one one play of his word,

1526
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: second to last play of the game, and he's um

1527
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: from one side of the field to the sideline and

1528
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,639
Speaker 1: trying to make a play. Um. You know, that says

1529
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: a lot about about about who we are, about what

1530
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 1: we're trying to do here, and the leadership that I

1531
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: appreciate that Lorenzo brings to the table. You draw numerous

1532
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: hints about the status of your team going into the

1533
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: season and through some of the harder times this season,

1534
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,560
Speaker 1: how much do you have to keep emphasizing that, you know,

1535
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: as nice as yesterday was, this team still has hosts

1536
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: to film and and and many ways to improve to

1537
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 1: get many, many things to do to improve, to get better. Yeah,

1538
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: the process continues. Yesterday you know is not the end

1539
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: end result of anything, but the process continues, and we

1540
01:15:57,840 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: got to continue to build this thing. And Brandon and

1541
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: I understand and where we are. And it was great

1542
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: to see so many young players yesterday out on the field.

1543
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean I counted six or seven on defense at

1544
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: one point, first and second year players six and seven,

1545
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: six or seven on offense, and then you special teams

1546
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 1: kind of takes care of itself with the young players.

1547
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 1: So and those players making big time plays in a

1548
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 1: game like that, So that's very encouraging for the future.

1549
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: We have to continue to build on that though. You

1550
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: see from Robert Foster from the time that he released

1551
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 1: them from the fifty three, put them back on the

1552
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: practice wed and then decided to promote it just you know,

1553
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:35,520
Speaker 1: I would just say his overall development, he's still still progressing.

1554
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: And but the progress he made from excuse me, the

1555
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: beginning part of the season until now is is noticeable.

1556
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: And you saw that in yesterday's game. You know, to

1557
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: make the big the first catch of the game really

1558
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: down the field and then to come back and as

1559
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned after the game, the third and twenty was

1560
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: probably as big, if not a bigger catch because Momentum

1561
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: was swinging a little bit there and then we grabbed

1562
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: it back. So, um, you know, I think he's made progress,

1563
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,560
Speaker 1: significant progress since the start of the season, which is

1564
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: really what we're trying to do with all of our

1565
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: young players. Um, adjusting to to the NFL game is

1566
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: is is different, and it takes time. And um, that's

1567
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: why I was so impressed with the way the young

1568
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 1: guys played yesterday. More expanded role for some of those

1569
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: young players were continuing to sprinkle some of them in

1570
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: as we saw Levi and why he starts yesterday, you

1571
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 1: just have paid us the season continued that trying and

1572
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:34,879
Speaker 1: getting you know, yeah, you know, Brandon and I continue

1573
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: to talk about that, and there's some other young players

1574
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,439
Speaker 1: that are kind of hanging in the wings right now

1575
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 1: that that are working hard to get themselves ready to go.

1576
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: And um, you saw Levi yesterday, you saw Wyatt, and

1577
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: and so we're going to continue to talk and look

1578
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: for opportunities to get some young guys if they aren't

1579
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: at the chance to play. I recognized that he's in

1580
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: the protocol, so maybe you can't too much. But with

1581
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: Derek now still in the protocol after miss a couple

1582
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: of games, is there any concern for this that you're

1583
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 1: looking at a longer term thing here? Yeah, with the protocol, Jay,

1584
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 1: you answered it for me. I'm not able to comment.

1585
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 1: So you WoT us through what the biding looks like.

1586
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Are the players at all this week and what you

1587
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 1: were about to do with Yeah, they're in today. Um,

1588
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: we're wrapping up the game. UM. I thought it was

1589
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: important that we get in and watched the film and

1590
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 1: learn from from it the pluses in the in the

1591
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 1: areas that we need to get improved and then get

1592
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: corrected there. So UM, we'll finish up today and I'll

1593
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: give them the rest of the week off. Um where

1594
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 1: the buy is in particular, it's been a It's late

1595
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: in the year, so I thought it was important that

1596
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: they get some rest, recovering and hit the reset button

1597
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 1: a little bit here. We talked before about the lack effect,

1598
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 1: how kind of results sometimes don't come exactly what you

1599
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: want them too. But what does it do for you psychologically?

1600
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: What does it do for some of these young guys

1601
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: psychologically to finally see some of the results almost come

1602
01:18:55,720 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: all at once. They're one sixty minute you know game. Yeah,

1603
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's it certainly helps, um, you know, continue

1604
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 1: to establish what we're trying to do and how we're

1605
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: trying to do it. Um, you know, it's it's easy

1606
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: to get hung up on one game. The process continues

1607
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 1: with us though, as we continue to this week as

1608
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: coaches will be in and and build awareness around what

1609
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: we've done well, where and where we need to improve,

1610
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: and then turn our attention to Jacksonville as well. At

1611
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 1: the end of the week. Here Pontobla talked to this

1612
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: he Saturday night and saw d say with his h

1613
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: his how older a game at his name on it

1614
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: or his out broke down the huddle. What sort of

1615
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: fact did you think that that speech? I mean, it

1616
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 1: was motivational and anytime we can connect with our fan

1617
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,600
Speaker 1: base and that type of environment, I thought that that

1618
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: was that was powerful and I thought Pontobila did a

1619
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 1: heck of a job. And it's not easy to speak

1620
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: in front of the team, and he did a heck

1621
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: of a job. And UM, we try and impress upon

1622
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: our players and our team, in particularly young guys, what

1623
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,679
Speaker 1: it means to to where the hell what it means

1624
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: to wear the colors and to connect with our fan

1625
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:06,560
Speaker 1: base and um and the responsibility that comes with that.

1626
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: So I think all of that just raised awareness on

1627
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 1: their end and that connection was made and it's certainly, uh,

1628
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: it's certainly stuck with the players, which I which I

1629
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 1: appreciate the character that they showed all over week. Donald

1630
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: Shawn's mindset in the conversation with these word going well

1631
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: Howard things after a yeah, uh, you know, I made

1632
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: a comment I think it was after the play where

1633
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: he spun out of it behind the line there and

1634
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: made a great run that that's the that's the Lashawan

1635
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: McCoy we all know and love. And he came to

1636
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: the sideline and tried to jump in there and give

1637
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,560
Speaker 1: me one of those kind of like hip bumps the

1638
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,560
Speaker 1: guys do these days. And I think I got I

1639
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: got up about two inches and he probably got up

1640
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 1: about twenty plus. But uh, maybe I'll work on my

1641
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: vertical next time. Got a week. Yeah, all right, thanks guys,

1642
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: there you go ahead. Go. Sean McDermott just wrapping up

1643
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 1: his news conference two minute ago, and as far as

1644
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 1: the news items, speaking of vertical, who was it somebody

1645
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: had a tremendous vertical leap and knockdown a pass yesterday?

1646
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember? I was gonna say David Thompson, but

1647
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: I know that's not that. And yesterday's game somebody had

1648
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: a huge vertical on defense and broke up a pass. Yeah,

1649
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: I can't remember because Mark Kelson and I talked about it.

1650
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 1: But the news of the day Josh Allen, if he's healthy,

1651
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: he will start. So that should end the speculation, although

1652
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: although there are various shades of being healthy, right, I mean,

1653
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Bills will play it that way,

1654
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: but it was pretty clear that coach McDermott believes that

1655
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: he wants to get Josh Allen back in once he's healthy.

1656
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: And even you know, when we talked to Matt Barkley earlier,

1657
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: he talked about not being giddy with that one. I

1658
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: think that that's kind of a prevailing sentiment around the

1659
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: building today from Barkeley and from McDermott, as you just heard, right, well, yeah,

1660
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: and I thought Barkley summed it up really well, at

1661
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: least in terms of explaining to fans and listeners what

1662
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: the approach has to be when they sit down and

1663
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: review the film, whether it's getting blown out by some

1664
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: opponent and you got to go in on Monday and

1665
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 1: watch the film and you're depressed. You've got to pull

1666
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: that emotion out of what you're about to undertake and

1667
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: reviewing the film, because that's work, and you don't want

1668
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: the depression to spill into your work, because then it's

1669
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 1: going to affect your work. And your work is learning

1670
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: what has to be corrected based on your performance this week.

1671
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:25,520
Speaker 1: It's learning about and reviewing and coming up with solutions

1672
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 1: for the things that were potential pitfalls, some of those

1673
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 1: tip passes or what Barkley referred to for himself. You know,

1674
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 1: I had a couple of close calls with some tip passes.

1675
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: Fortunately they didn't end up in turnovers yesterday. But that

1676
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you forget about him. You review them to

1677
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: see if there's a way to avoid them going forward. Oh,

1678
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 1: when I see this guy in this coverage underneath, you know,

1679
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: in a high low concept whatever it is, he's got

1680
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,839
Speaker 1: a process that so he doesn't fall into that potential

1681
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 1: trap the next time, because the next time that tip

1682
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: pass could be an i NT. But he can't go

1683
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,919
Speaker 1: into film review being like, whoa that was awesome yesterday.

1684
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, he's got to sit down.

1685
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 1: He's serious about the process and say, all right, let's

1686
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: see where I can get even better. Because in the

1687
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: end of it, what was he fifteen to twenty five?

1688
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 1: At the end I had ten incompletions? Let me see

1689
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: what happened on those plays. You're always correcting in football.

1690
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: It's this never ending quest to be perfect. Perfection is

1691
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 1: almost impossible to achieve, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't

1692
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 1: strive for the other news items from McDermot today, Matt

1693
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Milano in concussion protocol. You saw him leave the game yesterday.

1694
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: Karen Johnson the rookie nickel corner with a shoulder injury.

1695
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: He's struggled with that all year. And Derek Anderson remains

1696
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol. I'm worried about Taron Johnson. I think

1697
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: he needs a full offseason of development and weight work

1698
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 1: to avoid the shoulder injury. That's crapped up well, it's

1699
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: it's a dislocation keeps popping out, so you know they

1700
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: put it back in and you know you hit somebody,

1701
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, do you tackle with your shoulders? And he

1702
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: had some big hits yesterday too, right, And I give

1703
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: him a ton of credit for playing through it because

1704
01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: this has been since week one. Yeah, and he's just

1705
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 1: he is riding it out. And I wouldn't be surprised

1706
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 1: if it's going to require correction through surgery, so it

1707
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, so they can remove it as a chronic problem,

1708
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 1: which it has been this year. So we've got time

1709
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: to talk with you about this, Josh Ellen, if healthy,

1710
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: will start, what do you think of that? And what

1711
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: takeaways do you have from yesterday's Buffalo victory. We've got

1712

01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: win and Josh Allen, if healthy, he will start. That's

1743
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: what John McDermot said moments ago. What do you think

1744
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: about all of that? Give us a call. Let's hear

1745
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: what you think. Let's go to the phones. Let's go

1746
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: to a Chris in Batavia. Chris, it's John Murphy and

1747
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:03,639
Speaker 1: Chris Brown here. I hope you're okay with Chris Brown. Right, Good,

1748
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: good name Chris Brown. Chris, Yes, Chris. Certainly the offensive line,

1749
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: big kudos. You have to have the line to do

1750
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: anything on the offense. So I love the switch between

1751
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: Jeremy and Wyatt on the left side. And he's seen

1752
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: the evidence. Yes, yeah, Well, Jeremiah only got a little

1753
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 1: bit of time in there. I think he filled in

1754
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 1: for Mills on what like one series right now. He

1755
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: only got a handful of plays at right tackle. Uh,

1756
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: and then I think miss on offense. Yeah, sirl So yeah,

1757
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,679
Speaker 1: so he didn't get nearly as much time as Teller,

1758
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 1: who started and finished the game. I mean he played

1759
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: the entire game. So yeah, I was I liked. I

1760
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 1: mean I didn't. I'm not going to pretend that I

1761
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 1: watched Teller the entire game, but I really liked what

1762
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 1: I saw from him. Maybe more than anything else was

1763
01:26:56,360 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: his attitude. You could see there was a a grittiness

1764
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 1: to his game that I think this offensive line quite

1765
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: frankly needed. They need a grinder type of guy in there.

1766
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 1: You know. Bodine's a very technical player. Dawkins is kind

1767
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:15,839
Speaker 1: of the athlete. He can get he can't get nasty sometimes,

1768
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,560
Speaker 1: but he's kind of the athlete guy, you know. And

1769
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: then John Miller and Jordan Mills are kind of quiet

1770
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 1: as kept kind of players just kind of do their

1771
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 1: job and move along. I think they need someone that's

1772
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: got a little grit up there, kind of put some

1773
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 1: fire in the group. I thought. I agree. I like

1774
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 1: the way the entire offensive line playing, and I do

1775
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 1: think Wyatt Teller had a role to play in that.

1776
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 1: And to your point, Chris and Chris, don't be surprised

1777
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:40,799
Speaker 1: if there are more changes on the offensive line and elsewhere.

1778
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: I can fully anticipate that. In fact, McDermott just confirmed

1779
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 1: it when he said, we're going to talk some more

1780
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: me and Brandon being about what's next basically is what

1781
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 1: he's talking about. He said, Brandon and I continue to

1782
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: talk about that. See, either there's other young players they

1783
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: can give a chance to play. The young guys I

1784
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:59,719
Speaker 1: thought were key in yesterday's game the young speed guys,

1785
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 1: particular in the in the wide receiving corps. But the

1786
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 1: influx of talent, in the influx of youth, Chris, I

1787
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 1: thought it was an important page that they turned yesterday,

1788
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:08,680
Speaker 1: and I'd like to see it a little more, a

1789
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: few more steps along that road. I think that was

1790
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 1: probably the healthiest dose of energy that we saw. I mean,

1791
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 1: it kind of raised everybody's level of intensity up. There

1792
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 1: was a sense of urgency that the Bill's roster had

1793
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 1: in yesterday's game that the Jets sorely lacked. Yeah, and

1794
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, you can I think you can attribute at

1795
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 1: least some of that energy to the youthful exuberance of

1796
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: getting an opportunity to play and play extensively. I mean,

1797
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 1: Robert Foster played a ton in that game yesterday. You know,

1798
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 1: Isaiah mckenziy didn't get a lot of time on the field,

1799
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 1: but man, when he got on the field, he made

1800
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 1: some things happen. You know, when we already mentioned you

1801
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,599
Speaker 1: know the playing time that why a teller got Levi

1802
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: Wallace on the defensive side of the ball starts at corner,

1803
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 1: you know, after getting called up from the practice squad

1804
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 1: first NFL game plays every snap, plays, every snap, So

1805
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 1: it was good. It was it was pretty good. A

1806
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 1: call here from a norm in all the New York

1807
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 1: norm go ahead, welcome to the You're on the air

1808
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:05,639
Speaker 1: with this, Hi, John High, Chris No. I M about

1809
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: four different comments here. Obviously Foster played a great game,

1810
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 1: So did Zay Jones. I mean, Kelvin Benjamin. I mean,

1811
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:14,320
Speaker 1: when are we going to give up on this guy?

1812
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean he cannot hold onto a ball? And I

1813
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 1: have a question here is um? Yesterday James Lofton mentioned

1814
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: that Barkley had two sleeves on his on either arm

1815
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 1: for play calls. Now, this guy comes into the league,

1816
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 1: but he plays. He comes to the bills, you got

1817
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 1: twelve twelve days in How can he have so many

1818
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:40,680
Speaker 1: plays on both risks? You? Did he say that? I

1819
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 1: thought it. James said that he had four flips, that

1820
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 1: he could flip it four times, and I just like

1821
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 1: a roll of dex on one arm. Yeah, And I thought,

1822
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:50,360
Speaker 1: and I actually I probably saw the same thing you

1823
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 1: you mentioned. Norm. I kind of did the math in

1824
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 1: my head and figured, well, that's about one hundred and

1825
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:55,680
Speaker 1: twenty plays that he has on his rist, right, Is

1826
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,240
Speaker 1: that what you're thinking? Too. Yes, yeah, that's a lot.

1827
01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:01,800
Speaker 1: I thought the same, that's a lot of plays right now.

1828
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,320
Speaker 1: He also mentioned Kelvin Benjamin, and I'm gonna tell you this,

1829
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:08,639
Speaker 1: his playing time has been eaten into the last couple

1830
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: of weeks. More so yesterday he only got half the

1831
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 1: snaps offense. I think, I don't know about you, but

1832
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 1: just watching it with the naked eye, before I even

1833
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: looked at the playtime percentage sheet today, I thought it

1834
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 1: was the heaviest rotation of wide receiver personnel in and

1835
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 1: out play to play series to series that we've seen

1836
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 1: all season long. It was clear to me there was

1837
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: a pointed effort to rotate Foster, in, rotate McKenzie, in,

1838
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:38,680
Speaker 1: rotate some of these other younger players, right, and so

1839
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 1: who who paid for that as a result? It was

1840
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:45,639
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin. I mean, Terrell Pryor went from seventy five

1841
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: snaps last week in his first game as a Bill,

1842
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 1: he had thirty one yesterday for forty two percent of

1843
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: the playing time. I mean he went from like ninety

1844
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,759
Speaker 1: percent playing time to forty and he didn't do anything

1845
01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 1: to convince anybody who should play anymore. Yeah, so you know,

1846
01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: you look at it's Hey. I think we all know

1847
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:06,640
Speaker 1: it's a production based business, and I think you know,

1848
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 1: the Bill's offensive staff was trying to give some of

1849
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 1: these veteran players the benefit of the doubt through the

1850
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,640
Speaker 1: first half of the season, but now sitting here at

1851
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,559
Speaker 1: three and seven, they're turning it over to the younger

1852
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,840
Speaker 1: players to see what they can do, and if they

1853
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: prove that they can do more and be more consistent,

1854
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 1: kind of like Foster was yesterday with a hundred yard

1855
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 1: receiving effort, they're going to get more of the time

1856
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. And I don't think they

1857
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 1: care what veterans sitting on the bench. You're not producing,

1858
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna be sitting. I think we began to see

1859
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 1: it in the Bears game, and I think it was

1860
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 1: accelerated yesterday. The push towards the young Buffalo Bills, and

1861
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:39,800
Speaker 1: that'll apply to the quarterback is too. I think once

1862
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen asserted, but or returns ready to come back.

1863
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: But I think the Bills coaching staff has decided let's

1864
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 1: turn the page. Let's see what we have some of

1865
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 1: these new guys. And I do think many people the

1866
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin throwing the end zone that was Taylor made

1867
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:57,720
Speaker 1: for Calvin Benjamin, and he could not hang on for

1868
01:31:57,800 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: him to catch a touchdown right there. Ball was putting

1869
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 1: the perfect position and he couldn't keep it. That's the

1870
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 1: number one strength of his game. Yeah, that's the number

1871
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 1: one strength of his game. High pointing the ball at

1872
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,680
Speaker 1: a higher point than anybody else can so he can

1873
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 1: come down with touchdowns for you and the thing and

1874
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 1: I talk to you about this in a break. What

1875
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: confounds me is you know that defender is draped on

1876
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,639
Speaker 1: your back. So as soon as you high point the ball,

1877
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 1: put it away from your body where he can't reach it.

1878
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:28,599
Speaker 1: You know your arms are longer than his, especially when

1879
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 1: your body's in between him and the football, So keep

1880
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,639
Speaker 1: it out in front of you so he can't smack

1881
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: it out of your hands. I know they always tell

1882
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 1: you to pull it down in, but he's right over

1883
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:39,560
Speaker 1: your shoulder. You gave him an opportunity to make a

1884
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:41,800
Speaker 1: play on the ball after you caught it. It was

1885
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:43,560
Speaker 1: tough to watch, all right, to break here and we

1886
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: come back. Fred Jackson joins us for a big chunk

1887
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:48,320

Speaker 1: more of your reaction. We want to know your biggest

1889

1890
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:56,560
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, Josh Allen will start next time the

1891
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:58,640
Speaker 1: Bills played. So we'll talk more about that when we

1892

1898

1910
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: have no plans the firehead coach Ton Bowls during the

1911

Speaker 1: season that according to NFL Network, even after that loss,

1912
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: the Jets reportedly not going to make any changes during

1913
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 1: the season. They won't be rashed, they won't base any decision,

1914
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 1: and they will wait any decision until after the twenty

1915

1917
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 1: the defensive coach in Cincinnati, has been let go. The

1918
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: Bengals became the first team in the NFL Super Bowl

1919
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:32,280

Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. Always

1944
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 1: a pleasure. Thanks for us, heym because you played the position,

1945
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:43,840
Speaker 1: you're the guy to ask what did you make of

1946
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:47,120
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy's breakout game, his first good game of the

1947
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:50,000
Speaker 1: year really yesterday. What did you think? Well, I think

1948
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 1: it was just a combination of everything. I think, you know,

1949
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 1: even starting with him and it is probably not pressing

1950
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:58,240
Speaker 1: his hard you know, he really wanted to get some

1951
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 1: things going all season and it wasn't able to do so.

1952
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:03,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, you gotta give credits an offensive line,

1953
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: the way that he was able to hit holes that

1954
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 1: were you know, enough for you know me even now

1955
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: to run through something. You got to give those guys credit.

1956
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:15,839
Speaker 1: You gotta give receivers credit making plays on balls downfield.

1957
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:18,400
Speaker 1: Anytime you give receivers downfield making catches like that, it's

1958
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 1: going to back those safeties up and it makes it

1959
01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 1: a lot easier for running backs and find holes when

1960
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:24,559
Speaker 1: the safety is not in a box. Yeah. I mean,

1961
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 1: you look at what throwing the ball deep early did

1962
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:30,679
Speaker 1: for the run game. I mean, it just immediately took

1963
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:33,840
Speaker 1: one of the safeties out of the equation. You know,

1964
01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 1: when coaching We've talked about it today, but he referenced

1965
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:38,360
Speaker 1: how they felt they had to add some speed to

1966
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:42,599
Speaker 1: the field to force opposing defenses to cover the whole field.

1967
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean we saw the past few weeks most defenses

1968
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:48,719
Speaker 1: did not feel threatened that anybody was going to blow

1969
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:51,559
Speaker 1: by them and if you know, force them to give

1970
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 1: up a big play. And so everybody was crowding the

1971
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage with their whole defense against the Bills.

1972
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 1: They couldn't The Jets couldn't do that yesterday, could they? No.

1973
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, anytime you're running back and

1974
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:04,040
Speaker 1: you get speed at receiver, uh, you gotta be one

1975
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:05,840
Speaker 1: of the happiest ones on the field because you know

1976
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 1: that at any point those guys could blow by those

1977
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 1: corners and uh, you know that that's gonna make poor

1978
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 1: long day for anybody on defense. So uh, they're gonna

1979
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 1: definitely back those safeties out and that makes it you're

1980
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,960
Speaker 1: running against five six man boxes as opposed to eight

1981
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:22,439
Speaker 1: nine man boxes. So uh, anytime you get that, uh,

1982
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 1: you're definitely a lot more comfortable at the running back position.

1983
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: And I guarantee Shady when those guys were out there,

1984
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: he was he was He started salvating because he just

1985
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be a big day for him. Fred.

1986
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:34,880
Speaker 1: You know what else you notice watching the game over

1987
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: again this morning was wide receivers obviously stretching the field,

1988
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 1: but also participating in the run game by blocking. I

1989
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 1: thought they got great blocking from some of the receivers

1990
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,640
Speaker 1: and the tight ends. Neither Crum nor Logan Thomas were

1991
01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: known as, you know, really really strong blockers, but I

1992
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: thought they both played pretty well. Yeah, so that has

1993
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 1: to help. Huh, Yeah, without a doubt. If if you're

1994
01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 1: gonna have success in the running game, it has to

1995
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 1: be a team effort. Um. You know, any Shady's a guy,

1996
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna make a couple of guys miss, that's just

1997
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,840
Speaker 1: what he does. But to be able to get those big,

1998
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,240
Speaker 1: long home runs, he's got to be able to make

1999
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 1: those guys miss and did not have to worry about

2000
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 1: somebody else coming to get him. So in order to

2001
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 1: do that, you gotta have all the guys out there

2002
01:38:12,360 --> 01:38:14,880
Speaker 1: blocking for him, you know. And that's what you can

2003
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 1: see on the film yesterday. You saw guys down field

2004
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 1: blocking for him. You saw the offensive line creating wholes

2005
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 1: for him. And anytime you get that and it allows

2006
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 1: for a running back like that to go to go

2007
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 1: out there and have a big day. Fred. We've talked

2008
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:27,120
Speaker 1: to you a lot over the weeks about la Sean McCoy,

2009
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:28,600
Speaker 1: but I don't think we ever had your take on

2010
01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:31,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Murphy, who got extensive experience. Bill's only had two

2011
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 1: healthy running backs in that game yesterday. What do you

2012
01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:35,800
Speaker 1: think a number forty five Marcus Murphy, what do you

2013
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:39,640
Speaker 1: think his contributions are? Man? I like how physical he is.

2014
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's not a guy that's gonna blow you

2015
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:45,160
Speaker 1: away with his size, but he runs hard. He makes

2016
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: one cut and he gets north, and that's something that

2017
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 1: from a young running back. I really love to watch him.

2018
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 1: Do you know he's not gonna go out there and

2019
01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:55,800
Speaker 1: try and make forty five people miss. He's gonna break

2020
01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: a tackle and then you know, take the punishment to you.

2021
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:01,240
Speaker 1: And as long as you're doing that and you're falling forward,

2022
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: I think that's a great attribute to have as a

2023
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 1: young running back. You know, he can catch the ball

2024
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 1: out of the backfield as well. You know he's got

2025
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 1: there catching punts, he's catching kickoffs, and anytime you can

2026
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 1: do that, the more you can do. Guys are definitely

2027
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:16,680
Speaker 1: gonna you know, wants you on the field with him.

2028
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 1: So I like what he brings to the table. Obviously

2029
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 1: he's a little raw, but the more he works at it,

2030
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 1: the better I think he'll be. It looked like there

2031
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 1: was some kind of split zone play in the run

2032
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:30,760
Speaker 1: game that really had the Jets crossed up in the

2033
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: first half. You know, I'm not gonna pretend to know

2034
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 1: the xs and os like you guys do, but it

2035
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:38,479
Speaker 1: just seemed like they could not get a bead on it.

2036
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:40,760
Speaker 1: And that's why. It wasn't the only reason, but it

2037
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 1: was a big reason why it seemed they could continually

2038
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 1: get four or five six yards and they were often

2039
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 1: setting themselves up in second and five, second and four.

2040
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: Did you see them going back to that same kind

2041
01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 1: of play concept there in the first half, Fred, can

2042
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:56,679
Speaker 1: you shoot a little light on that. Maybe it looked

2043
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 1: like they were they were just trying to cut the

2044
01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 1: defense whatever, whether it was the guard cutting back and

2045
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 1: hitting a noose tack or whatever it may be. They

2046
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:06,879
Speaker 1: wanted to get outside and then cut off that backside,

2047
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 1: so Shady had the ability to go wherever he wanted

2048
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:13,599
Speaker 1: to on the front side. And anytime it was working

2049
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 1: the way that it was working, the offensive linemen were

2050
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 1: doing a tremendous job, you know, communicating with each other

2051
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 1: where they wanted to try and get the backside cut

2052
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,559
Speaker 1: off at and it was it was fun to see.

2053
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:26,679
Speaker 1: It was fun to see those guys working in conjunction.

2054
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:30,760
Speaker 1: The way that they had it coordinated. There was I mean,

2055
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 1: like I said, there were some tremendous lanes for all

2056
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:35,680
Speaker 1: the running back shots that they run through, both of

2057
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:37,560
Speaker 1: them being that they were only two. But it was

2058
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:39,920
Speaker 1: just it was it was fun to watch those guys

2059
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:42,760
Speaker 1: go out there and put together a solid run you know,

2060
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 1: running game and take a lot of pressure off of

2061
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,519
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And one more question before you fred about

2062
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:51,120
Speaker 1: the Bill's run game. My broadcast partner on Sunday's Mark

2063
01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 1: Council sings the praises of Pat de Marco and what

2064
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 1: he does for the run game, the Buffalo fullback. What

2065
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:57,680
Speaker 1: do you see from him? What are they getting from

2066
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:00,599
Speaker 1: de Marco? And how valuable is a strong fullback. Who's

2067
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,559
Speaker 1: the best fullback you've ever played with? You think, oh, man, uh,

2068
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 1: you put me on the spot there. Yeah, but uh

2069
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:10,160
Speaker 1: I had two great running or too great actually three

2070
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: three great fullbacks. I played with Damon Shelton my first

2071
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,799
Speaker 1: my first couple of years was you know, the biggest

2072
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:17,640
Speaker 1: one out of all the running or fullbacks that I

2073
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 1: was with, and he he was just a house you

2074
01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:21,800
Speaker 1: I basically just jump on his back and let him

2075
01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: carry me, you know, wherever I was trying to get to.

2076
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:27,959
Speaker 1: But Frank Summers and Corey McIntyre were two great fullbacks

2077
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 1: that I had in front of me, and they're there

2078
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:33,800
Speaker 1: are running backs you know, um you know personal, you

2079
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:36,719
Speaker 1: know chauffeurs. So anytime you get a guy that's willing

2080
01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 1: to go out there and and take on that linebacker

2081
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 1: and take that that initial first hit for you and

2082
01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 1: get you clean to the secondary, that's gonna be you know,

2083
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: huge for anybody. And DeMarco is doing that. You know,

2084
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 1: he's he's getting out there, he's he's sticking his nose

2085
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 1: in the hole and opening it up for Jady and

2086
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:56,599
Speaker 1: and those guys, and Murphy and uh Ivory and all

2087
01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:58,839
Speaker 1: those guys. So I know every one of them appreciate

2088
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 1: what he's doing because you know he's wanted the best

2089
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 1: to do it. You know, he's a gudess out there

2090
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 1: showing his value not only in block him, but he

2091
01:42:07,240 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 1: can cats the ball out of the backfield as well.

2092
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott said today at his press conference that when

2093
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:14,800
Speaker 1: healthy Josh is the starter at quarterback. I think a

2094
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 1: lot of Bills fans got excited about what they saw

2095
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:20,320
Speaker 1: from Barkley yesterday, but it seems pretty clear based on

2096
01:42:20,439 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 1: all the young players that were on the field yesterday

2097
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:25,639
Speaker 1: that after that seventh loss, this coaching staff has kind

2098
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 1: of turned the page and made the priority getting these

2099
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 1: young players experience. How tough a balance is that for

2100
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 1: a head coach who doesn't want to certainly give his

2101
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 1: veteran players any indication that he's waving the white flag

2102
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 1: on the prospects for the season, but at the same

2103
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,720
Speaker 1: time trying to get these young players that are part

2104
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:48,800
Speaker 1: of this team's future valuable experience on the field so

2105
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:52,439
Speaker 1: they're better all the much better next year. Yeah, I mean,

2106
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 1: it's it's it's got to be a tough job, you know,

2107
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:58,160
Speaker 1: one that I wouldn't know much about, but you know,

2108
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 1: you with the guys that are going to be playing

2109
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 1: down the road, you want to get them as much

2110
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, experience as well. I think one of the

2111
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:06,600
Speaker 1: things that helps is if they keep going out and

2112
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:09,599
Speaker 1: they keep playing as well as they're playing. I think

2113
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:11,760
Speaker 1: anybody in that locker room is Okay, with the young

2114
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:15,320
Speaker 1: guys getting as much playing time as well. They're going

2115
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:17,040
Speaker 1: out there and they're making plays. You don't have a

2116
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 1: problem with that. And I think that's exactly what's going on.

2117
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 1: He's saying, Look, we got all these young guys you

2118
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:25,240
Speaker 1: out here contributing. We want to keep those guys out

2119
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:27,679
Speaker 1: here and build for the future. And that though, guys,

2120
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:30,559
Speaker 1: those guys keep contributing for us, And as a veteran

2121
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:33,120
Speaker 1: player in that locker room, you can completely respect that

2122
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:36,799
Speaker 1: because these guys played well for us, you know, yesterday

2123
01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 1: and made big plays for us, and we were able

2124
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 1: to go out and you know, win in a great

2125
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:44,040
Speaker 1: fashion yesterday. So I don't think guys in that locker

2126
01:43:44,120 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 1: room will have a problem with that. We're on the

2127
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 1: line with Fred Jackson, longtime Bills running Back the Go

2128
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:51,280
Speaker 1: host of Bills Tonight air Sunday nights eleven thirty on

2129
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 1: MSG after every Bill's game along with Mike Catilatta and Fred.

2130
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm just curious to your take on the New York Jets,

2131
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:02,920
Speaker 1: their performance yesterday. They're their approach yesterday and what I

2132
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:04,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm trying to think of a Bills team that,

2133
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, you you had some rough years here, but

2134
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: I can't recall a Bills team that maybe I'm gonna

2135
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 1: say it quit the way that looks like the Jets

2136
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:14,680
Speaker 1: did yesterday. What do you think, you know what, from

2137
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:16,680
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, that's exactly what it looked like.

2138
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:18,800
Speaker 1: It looked like, you know, they just didn't show up

2139
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 1: and you know, didn't really care to to go out

2140
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:24,800
Speaker 1: and compete. But I think you got to give credit

2141
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:26,719
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, you know, I think you gotta give credit

2142
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:28,599
Speaker 1: to those guys in that locker room. They came out

2143
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 1: and they they wanted to get some things accomplished, and

2144
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, they they were the better team yesterday. Um, obviously,

2145
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:39,519
Speaker 1: you know they're they're sticking with Todd Bowls and those guys.

2146
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: You know, we're saying all the right things, and we

2147
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:43,599
Speaker 1: want to compete for Todd and we don't want them

2148
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: to have to make a decision on that right now.

2149
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 1: But uh, their play on the field has to be

2150
01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:50,720
Speaker 1: stepped up in order to prove that, because yesterday, uh

2151
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 1: they kind of got hit in the mouth and uh

2152
01:44:53,200 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 1: it's not it wasn't a good look for anybody in

2153
01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:57,439
Speaker 1: that organization. What are you gonna do for the bye

2154
01:44:57,479 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 1: week cred do you feel like it's a real bye week?

2155
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:03,639
Speaker 1: It still had that feeling always. You know, it's anytime

2156
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 1: you you're you're a part of an organization in any way,

2157
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's it is a bye week for you.

2158
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:10,960
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I'm just gonna do what I do.

2159
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang out with the kids. My girls have

2160
01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:15,639
Speaker 1: started basketball, so I'm gonna be coaching them now. I'll

2161
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 1: coach them on Sunday and we'll see how that goes.

2162
01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: You know, this week, this bye week, is so deep

2163
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:22,960
Speaker 1: into the season. I don't know. I don't know how.

2164
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure the players don't feel this way. But I

2165
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 1: actually said to my wife last night, you know what,

2166
01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: let's just go, let's just finish the year. I don't

2167
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 1: need a bye week. Oh no, their bodies are saying

2168
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,160
Speaker 1: something different. We're that close to the end of it though,

2169
01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:36,519
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. No, they they are looking

2170
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:40,439
Speaker 1: forward to this bye week. And it's Yeah, when whenever

2171
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:42,560
Speaker 1: you get a bye week, you want it to be

2172
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:45,360
Speaker 1: later in the season, obviously, because when you're when you

2173
01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:47,679
Speaker 1: have a bye week week for you, it really feels

2174
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:49,400
Speaker 1: like you've missed out on having a bye week. But

2175
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:52,000
Speaker 1: when you get a bye week around seven, eight nine,

2176
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:54,800
Speaker 1: you know ten, that's when you really need it. And

2177
01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:57,640
Speaker 1: and guys are just gonna, you know, hopefully spend this

2178
01:45:57,800 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 1: entire time just trying to get healthy this week. Okay, Hey,

2184

Speaker 1: and locker room interviews that Chris and I do all

2186
01:46:18,360 --> 01:46:21,160
Speaker 1: part of that show. Yeah, I mean I got podium

2187
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 1: and you got locker room. Yes, dividing conquer if you will. Hey,

2188
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 1: we're coming to your life from one Bill's Drive. Why

2189
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:29,640
Speaker 1: do I hear from you what you think about yesterday's

2190
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 1: game and your biggest takeaway? There's an awful lot of

2191
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: you know, there's awful lot of meat on the bone

2192
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 1: from yesterday's game, you know what I mean. There's a

2193
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:37,679
Speaker 1: lot going on in that game, a lot of different

2194
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:39,479
Speaker 1: things to look at. I don't know what your biggest

2195
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: takeaway is phone nines are open eight oh three five

2196
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,120
Speaker 1: fifty and toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

2197
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 1: two fifty. You don't like my analogy of meat on

2198
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:49,680
Speaker 1: that bone, I'm fine with that, Okay, there, I mean

2199
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 1: all three phases. There's something to talk about, I think

2200
01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: in that game, and you know, I know it all

2201
01:46:54,080 --> 01:46:57,320
Speaker 1: gravitates back to the offense because it was in star

2202
01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:00,680
Speaker 1: contrast to what we saw the previous four games. You know,

2203
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean this team was in single digits each of

2204
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: the last three games. So to see a forty one

2205
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:11,120
Speaker 1: point outburst I think was completely unanticipated, unforeseen by anybody

2206
01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:13,880
Speaker 1: that watches this team on a regular basis. So when

2207
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 1: you see that, you're saying, whoa. And then you know,

2208
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 1: you still have the detractors who say, well, where the

2209
01:47:20,439 --> 01:47:23,160
Speaker 1: hecklas An I'm on? Think oh, and you get those two.

2210
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:26,000
Speaker 1: So it's a balance, I guess. But you know, hey,

2211
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:28,360
Speaker 1: when the good is there, run with it. Take it.

2212
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:31,519
Speaker 1: I mean, enjoy it. Enjoy this Monday. You've got to

2213
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,720
Speaker 1: call on the line from Vinny and Cheekawaga. Hello, Vinny,

2214
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:37,599
Speaker 1: you're on the air. How you doing, guys? Go ahead, Hey,

2215
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 1: my take on this is um. Matt Barkley's only twenty eight.

2216
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:45,839
Speaker 1: He comes out of nowhere, and he played his pocket awareness,

2217
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:48,400
Speaker 1: his arm strength, that rockety through to the back of

2218
01:47:48,479 --> 01:47:51,519
Speaker 1: the end zone. I mean, if this guy actually was

2219
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: practicing with the team or other team's got to be

2220
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:57,720
Speaker 1: looking at him. He just looked so good for you know,

2221
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 1: just walking on the field and that well, you know,

2222
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, and I do think and I've

2223
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:06,920
Speaker 1: said this earlier in the show. For him, I was

2224
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 1: trying to I was thinking on the playing last night

2225
01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:10,479
Speaker 1: Chris for him, and when I heard his comment about

2226
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:12,920
Speaker 1: how he always knew he could play, he probably went

2227
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:15,519
Speaker 1: through some tough times rehabbing his knee. The last two

2228
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:17,479
Speaker 1: months taken him. I ever going to get a shot again.

2229
01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:19,599
Speaker 1: I know I can play, I know I'm pretty good,

2230
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 1: but I might not get another shot. Here it comes

2231
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:25,560
Speaker 1: and then twelve days later it's a starting job and

2232
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:27,240
Speaker 1: he took it and ran with it. And that's the

2233
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 1: most impressive part of Matt Barkley's day for me, is

2234
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 1: just that, Yes, I mean he's in a tough spot.

2235
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:35,439
Speaker 1: He's been around for twelve days, eleven or twelve days,

2236
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 1: but he took it and ran with it and led

2237
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:40,160
Speaker 1: and McDermot talked about it during the news conference. You

2238
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:42,160
Speaker 1: know just how the look in his eye he talked about.

2239
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:44,040
Speaker 1: I didn't get that close to him, but you can

2240
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:46,360
Speaker 1: see that he knew that he was up against it.

2241
01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:48,600
Speaker 1: He had a tough assignment and he came through. I

2242
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,600
Speaker 1: really think that's good. You know what else, McDermot said that,

2243
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 1: I just remember Chris. That got my attention, And it

2244
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:54,880
Speaker 1: was something that came up earlier, like in the last

2245
01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 1: week or two about receivers fighting for balls and making

2246
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:01,160
Speaker 1: plays on the ball. They did yesterday. The young guys

2247
01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 1: did that yesterday. Robert Foster did that a couple of times,

2248
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: including his third quarter catch that was big, And yeah,

2249
01:49:08,240 --> 01:49:10,720
Speaker 1: that's been missing from some of the other receivers they

2250
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:13,120
Speaker 1: played this year, making a play on the ball. Look,

2251
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:14,720
Speaker 1: you don't just sit there and let the ball come

2252
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 1: to you. Sometimes you gotta make the point play on

2253
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,639
Speaker 1: the ball. You gotta go get it. And I thought

2254
01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:21,960
Speaker 1: the young guys especially did that yesterday, right. And I

2255
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:24,040
Speaker 1: think you know, when you're thinking about Barkley here too,

2256
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:27,600
Speaker 1: you're throwing he's past say Jones, and he's looking like

2257
01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:31,040
Speaker 1: he's you know, a pro bowler. Just the ball was there.

2258
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:32,800
Speaker 1: The ball was there. He played well, but I do

2259
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 1: think the receivers had something to do with it. Yes, Christmas. Yes,

2260
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:36,560
Speaker 1: And the only other thing I was gonna say was

2261
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:39,160
Speaker 1: and I asked Barkley this after the game, because I

2262
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:41,599
Speaker 1: think we knew, and doing the pregame show with Mark

2263
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:44,040
Speaker 1: Kelso on the radio, you know, he kind of broke

2264
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: it down for everybody. Really. The Jets blitz package involves

2265
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:52,000
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams as the primary blitzing player, the you know,

2266
01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 1: the pressure player, in addition to the three or four

2267
01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:58,840
Speaker 1: up front. And they brought the same exact blitzes that

2268
01:49:58,960 --> 01:50:01,679
Speaker 1: the Bills had seen on film, so they were prepared

2269
01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 1: for that and blocked it up with alarming frequency to

2270
01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 1: the point where Matt Barkley barely got touched. I mean

2271
01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:11,800
Speaker 1: he got sacked once and I think he got hit

2272
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:13,920
Speaker 1: three times. I think the Jets had one sack and

2273
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,640
Speaker 1: three quarterback hits in the game. And I asked him,

2274
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 1: were you surprised that they didn't change up their pressure looks,

2275
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: because I mean there were times he had all day

2276
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:26,599
Speaker 1: back there. And he said, well, no, he said they

2277
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:29,600
Speaker 1: were bringing Adams a lot. He said, but we just

2278
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 1: blocked it up, he said. But yeah, you're right, they

2279
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 1: didn't have too many exotic things that they threw at us.

2280
01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:38,840
Speaker 1: And that just stunned. That floored me, Murph, because with

2281
01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:42,519
Speaker 1: the way that first half went, why they didn't change

2282
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 1: and just throw some kind of blitz wrinkle in there

2283
01:50:46,439 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 1: just to throw off the protection scheme, show them something

2284
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:53,479
Speaker 1: they haven't seen before. They never did it. They never turned,

2285
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,639
Speaker 1: they never played a different card in their blitz hand,

2286
01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 1: and at halftime the Bills had three hundred and thirteen

2287
01:50:59,640 --> 01:51:03,040
Speaker 1: yards of offense. Jamal Adams was great. Stunned me. Adams

2288
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:06,439
Speaker 1: was great and was the focus of the Bill's offensive attention.

2289
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:09,240
Speaker 1: I wonder an answer to your question there, Chris. Do

2290
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 1: you think they were surprised that Barkley was so proficient

2291
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: after just eleven days of practice? Do you think they

2292
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:16,599
Speaker 1: figure out, we don't have to throw in too much

2293
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 1: here because we got a brand new quarterback and it's

2294
01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 1: the fourth quarterback they've started this year, and the guy

2295
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:23,720
Speaker 1: has only been around for eleven days, So let's keep

2296
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 1: some things in our back pockets. And that's fine, And

2297
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:29,360
Speaker 1: that's fine you want to that's your fault for underestimating them.

2298
01:51:29,439 --> 01:51:33,240
Speaker 1: Number one, but number two. After the first quarter went

2299
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 1: the way it went, you gotta you better go into

2300
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:38,960
Speaker 1: your bag of tricks and find something that they are

2301
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:41,639
Speaker 1: not prepared for. Throw them a six man pressure, bring

2302
01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 1: the house on one play, something they never changed. They

2303
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:47,880
Speaker 1: never deviated from what their original game plan was, and

2304
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 1: you saw the result. They got waxed by thirty one points.

2305
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's anything that's fireable, you know, in

2306
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:56,639
Speaker 1: terms of an offense by Todd Bowles and his coaching staff,

2307
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:59,479
Speaker 1: this is a defensive minded head coach who never deviated

2308
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:02,280
Speaker 1: from the digital script when it was going horribly wrong

2309
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: right away. It blew my mind. He just kind of

2310
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:06,760
Speaker 1: sat there and took it. It's a good point on

2311
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:08,720
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet from sipping the kool Aid when we

2312
01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:11,640
Speaker 1: asked the question your biggest takeaway from the Bills win

2313
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: over the Jets sipping the kool Aid response. As much

2314
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:18,200
Speaker 1: as McDermott gets ridiculed by fans for talking about controlling

2315
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:21,160
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and winning one on one battles,

2316
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:24,320
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened yesterday. That was the difference. Yeah,

2317
01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:26,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line played its best game of the year

2318
01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:29,080
Speaker 1: by far. Dabo finally had his team executed his offense.

2319
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:31,559
Speaker 1: They did win there one on one battles, there man

2320
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 1: on man battles. They did control the line of scrimmage

2321
01:52:34,439 --> 01:52:37,000
Speaker 1: for one of the few times this season. I think

2322
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: that was the difference chessity. You're right, Chris, I mean,

2323
01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:41,360
Speaker 1: that's why there were holes in the run game. That's

2324
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:44,800
Speaker 1: why I mean, and the easiest way to observe this

2325
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:47,080
Speaker 1: as a fan because even if you're just watching on TV,

2326
01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:50,799
Speaker 1: you can see this because the offensive line generally stays

2327
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 1: in the shot unless the quarterback's taking a deep drop.

2328
01:52:55,439 --> 01:52:57,800
Speaker 1: Where was the line of scrimmage at the snap? And

2329
01:52:57,920 --> 01:53:02,120
Speaker 1: then where are those hand fighting battles going on after

2330
01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 1: the snap? And too often this season, the Bills offensive

2331
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:08,880
Speaker 1: line was two yards in their own backfield, and that

2332
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:13,320
Speaker 1: creates a myriad of problems. Chief among them is there's

2333
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:15,599
Speaker 1: initial contact on the running back before he even gets

2334
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:17,439
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage. And that's why this run

2335
01:53:17,479 --> 01:53:19,600
Speaker 1: game was going nowhere for the better part of the

2336
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:24,680
Speaker 1: last four or five weeks, maybe longer. But yesterday the

2337
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:28,479
Speaker 1: Bills offensive line was resetting that line of scrimmage two

2338
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 1: yards down the field. And I know we're talking about

2339
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:33,560
Speaker 1: a difference of four yards two yards one way or

2340
01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 1: the other at the line of scrimmage. It makes that

2341
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 1: big of a difference. One more from the tweet sheet,

2342
01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: and this one comes from Sean Nong. He says, I

2343
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:45,479
Speaker 1: believe the offensive line has a lot to do with

2344
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:49,000
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley's success. Yesterday, he says, Whyatt Teyler looks like

2345
01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:52,240
Speaker 1: Ritchie and why wasn't he put in earlier? Whatever they

2346
01:53:52,280 --> 01:53:54,360
Speaker 1: did seems to be working. I do think the offensive

2347
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:58,519
Speaker 1: line had a tremendous amount of to do with Barkley's

2348
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:02,559
Speaker 1: play and Lashaw Coois six yeaday, I do. Why wasn't

2349
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:05,320
Speaker 1: why a teller put in earlier? I don't know, maybe

2350
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 1: he wasn't ready. You know, he is a rookie from

2351
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:09,760
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. When he came in, I thought when he

2352
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 1: came in in the summer and even back in the

2353
01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:14,120
Speaker 1: in the spring workouts, he looked kind of unrefined. I

2354
01:54:14,120 --> 01:54:15,760
Speaker 1: don't know how to even talk about it, Chris, he

2355
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:17,880
Speaker 1: just looked like he had a long way to go

2356
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 1: in terms of technique and moving around a little bit.

2357
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 1: He is a tremendous physical specimen, very strong. James Lofton

2358
01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:27,679
Speaker 1: talked about a pancake block on one of the Jets defenders.

2359
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:30,000
Speaker 1: But I do think he was unrefined and maybe it

2360
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:32,320
Speaker 1: took half a season for him to build that up.

2361
01:54:32,360 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 1: And he got in the seventeen place against Chicago, when

2362
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 1: they said, okay, we can work with us, right. I

2363
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:38,720
Speaker 1: think that's probably how it went, and that was probably

2364
01:54:38,720 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 1: the litmus test. And we have to remember too that

2365
01:54:42,080 --> 01:54:44,640
Speaker 1: when why a Teller was recruited out of high school

2366
01:54:44,640 --> 01:54:47,480
Speaker 1: by Virginia Tech, it wass a defensive lineman. Yeah, I

2367
01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:49,880
Speaker 1: mean he was like an all state defensive lineman. So

2368
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 1: he's still relatively young at the offensive line position. I

2369
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:57,680
Speaker 1: think they saw a lot of raw tools that could

2370
01:54:57,720 --> 01:55:01,920
Speaker 1: be refined, to use your word, Murph, and they wanted

2371
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 1: to work with him, I think through the first half

2372
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:06,600
Speaker 1: of the season to make sure that the techniques that

2373
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 1: they ask if their players upfront could be mastered by

2374
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:13,120
Speaker 1: him before throwing him in the fire. And so I

2375
01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:14,760
Speaker 1: think they repped it to a point where they said,

2376
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:16,680
Speaker 1: you know what, I think he's ready. Let's give him

2377
01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:20,000
Speaker 1: a shot. And he performed admirably in the seventeen snaps

2378
01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:22,600
Speaker 1: he got the week before, and they said, okay, let's go.

2379
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:26,720
Speaker 1: He's ready, and I think he proved himself yesterday with

2380
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:29,040
Speaker 1: flying colors. You know what, I think it is underappreciated

2381
01:55:29,080 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 1: by fans and me too, I did this for years.

2382
01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:34,600
Speaker 1: Is how players change from season to season. Players get better,

2383
01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:37,880
Speaker 1: players get worse within seasons, players change and get better.

2384
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: I think you can make that argument for Zay Jones.

2385
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:42,200
Speaker 1: Z Jones is a better player today than he was

2386
01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 1: back in mid September when the offense was struggling, and

2387
01:55:45,200 --> 01:55:47,040
Speaker 1: I think he probably is on a path to get

2388
01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:49,880
Speaker 1: even better. Players change, they get better, they get worse,

2389
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:53,520
Speaker 1: they learn more, they refine techniques, They get in better

2390
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:56,080
Speaker 1: or worse condition as the season goes along. You know,

2391
01:55:56,200 --> 01:55:59,160
Speaker 1: to think that you could plug in Wyatteller back on

2392
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:01,920
Speaker 1: September ninth and he'd be the way he was yesterday,

2393
01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of unrealistic, right, And that's why

2394
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 1: the development talents of your coaching staff are so important,

2395
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:12,760
Speaker 1: because with the college game and the pro game getting

2396
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 1: further and further apart in terms of how they are played,

2397
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:19,880
Speaker 1: you need development people on your coaching staff every bit

2398
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:22,120
Speaker 1: as much as you need x's and those people. And

2399
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 1: if you cannot bring those young players along, like ah

2400
01:56:25,560 --> 01:56:28,520
Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller who only has three or four years as

2401
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:32,360
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman under his belt. Or you know Ryan Lewis,

2402
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 1: a cornerback who only started playing cornerback in college at

2403
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:38,720
Speaker 1: Pitt after he was a high school running back, another

2404
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:41,960
Speaker 1: player who's young at his position. If you can't bring

2405
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:44,440
Speaker 1: those kinds of players along and get them to master

2406
01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:47,320
Speaker 1: the techniques that you demand of the players at those positions,

2407
01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:50,080
Speaker 1: they're never going to advance their game and they're never

2408
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:51,920
Speaker 1: going to end up contributing on the field for you,

2409
01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:55,600
Speaker 1: and then it becomes a wasted process. So you need

2410
01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,640
Speaker 1: development people on your coaching staff, people who can improve

2411
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:02,240
Speaker 1: players while they're here on the job. Yeah, all right, Hey,

2412
01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:03,800
Speaker 1: we want to hear from you when we come back.

2413
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: We have phone lines open at eight O three fifty

2414
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:09,360
Speaker 1: and told free from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight

2415
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:12,320
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. We've got NFL true and

2416
01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:15,440
Speaker 1: falls coming up. Sean McDermot says, Josh Allen will start

2417
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 1: when he's healthy. We'll hear him talk about that when

2418
01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:19,600
Speaker 1: we come back as well. Chris Brown is in for

2419
01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:22,440
Speaker 1: Steam Tasker. It's one Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive

2420

Speaker 1: and This is Buffalo Bills Radio sliding into the bye

Speaker 1: We're gonna do Tuesday and Wednesday with us. We have

2425
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:47,120
Speaker 1: no show coming up on Thursday and Friday this week

2426
01:57:47,560 --> 01:57:49,120
Speaker 1: because of the bye week. We're looking forward to that.

2427
01:57:49,280 --> 01:57:52,560
Speaker 1: No show next weekend. Thurst here Friday either because of Thanksgiving.

2428
01:57:52,640 --> 01:57:54,200
Speaker 1: Thanks give me just a week away, Chris. Can you

2429
01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 1: believe it? It's crazy? You know, this bye week comes

2430
01:57:57,520 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 1: and then bam it's Thanksgiving and then we're back to

2431
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:02,440
Speaker 1: football again. And there's six games to go down the

2432
01:58:02,480 --> 01:58:05,440
Speaker 1: stretch here. But Thanksgiving usually it doesn't sneak up on me,

2433
01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:08,360
Speaker 1: but it did this year. It's coming. It's almost here. Hey,

2434
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:09,680
Speaker 1: we want to hear from you. What do you think

2435
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:12,600
Speaker 1: of yesterday's game? Your biggest takeaway? What do you think

2436
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:15,360
Speaker 1: of mcdermot's decision when he said, Josh Allen, if healthy,

2437
01:58:15,440 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 1: he will start. Sean mcdermo talked about an hour and

2438
01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:20,400
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes ago to the media here at One Bill's Drive,

2439
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:22,680
Speaker 1: and he talked about how important it was to get

2440
01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 1: a win going into the week off. Here's what the

2441
01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:28,160
Speaker 1: head coach had to say. It feels good. It does

2442
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 1: the guys that worked hard, and it's a it's been

2443
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:32,840
Speaker 1: a long ride to get to this point in the

2444
01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:34,720
Speaker 1: season where we've got this late by you know, going

2445
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:37,680
Speaker 1: through the games on the road like we had earlier

2446
01:58:37,680 --> 01:58:40,680
Speaker 1: in the year, and the guys pushed through to get

2447
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:42,840
Speaker 1: to where we are and got the results that we

2448
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:45,800
Speaker 1: got yesterday. And it comes back to the energy and

2449
01:58:45,840 --> 01:58:47,560
Speaker 1: the focus. I thought they were focused and they played

2450
01:58:47,560 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 1: with a great amount of energy. Yeah, you can see

2451
01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:52,520
Speaker 1: that yesterday for sure. Mcderman also talked about his quarterbacks

2452
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:55,640
Speaker 1: and with the good performance yesterday by Matt Barkley, and

2453
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:58,720
Speaker 1: Barkley was good. Barkley first started as a Bill through

2454
01:58:58,760 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 1: for two hundred and thirty two yards, two touchdowns, h

2455
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 1: forty seven year completion, a career long for him passer

2456
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:07,000
Speaker 1: in it the one seventeen point four, and yet coach

2457
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:10,280
Speaker 1: McDermott said today then Josh Allen, if he's healthy, we'll

2458
01:59:10,360 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 1: start once again as the Bill's quarterback. Here's what coach

2459
01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:17,040
Speaker 1: McDermott said about that. We're still making progress and um,

2460
01:59:17,600 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, he threw on his rehab again today and

2461
01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:22,280
Speaker 1: and so we'll continue to move forward and take it

2462
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 1: one day at a time. Some I feel that, you know,

2463
01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 1: give him, you'll give him what Matt did, That's what

2464
01:59:28,480 --> 01:59:32,440
Speaker 1: what's the what's the thinking behind getting getting Josh back

2465
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:34,680
Speaker 1: in there as soon as he's healthy, as opposed to

2466
01:59:34,800 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 1: knowing that you know, Matt did a fine job and

2467
01:59:37,600 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 1: overseeing the offense. But how do you how do you

2468
01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 1: balance those? Well, you know, Josh as our starter and

2469
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 1: went healthy and his development is important for him and

2470
01:59:47,720 --> 01:59:50,360
Speaker 1: for us as we move forward to getting experience. You've

2471
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:53,400
Speaker 1: seen a lot of quarterbacks UM this season play and

2472
01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:56,680
Speaker 1: that's important that he gets UM as many reps as

2473
01:59:56,720 --> 02:00:00,200
Speaker 1: he can get, uh in live game actions. So um,

2474
02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:03,160
Speaker 1: you know. And then Matt in a separate issue, I

2475
02:00:03,200 --> 02:00:06,120
Speaker 1: thought Matt performed extremely well yesterday. There's certainly some place

2476
02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:08,040
Speaker 1: he'd like to have back, but to come in and

2477
02:00:08,120 --> 02:00:10,520
Speaker 1: do what he did on a short on a short

2478
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:13,200
Speaker 1: run up basically to it was very impressive. And again,

2479
02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:14,680
Speaker 1: like I said after the game, I like to look

2480
02:00:14,720 --> 02:00:17,120
Speaker 1: in his eye the energy that he gave our offense

2481
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:20,240
Speaker 1: and um, just managing the game. You know, again, it's

2482
02:00:20,240 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 1: easier said than done, but you go out there and

2483
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:25,080
Speaker 1: we really didn't have to. We came close a couple

2484
02:00:25,080 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 1: of times, but didn't really have to burn a time

2485
02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:29,560
Speaker 1: out with the play clock running down. Um so that

2486
02:00:29,760 --> 02:00:31,960
Speaker 1: that that says a lot about the way he'd managed

2487
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:35,960
Speaker 1: the game and led the offense. Jean mcderhammer talking to

2488
02:00:36,080 --> 02:00:38,040
Speaker 1: the media about an hour or so ago. We got

2489
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:39,840
Speaker 1: some people on the phone lines. We have some thoughts

2490
02:00:39,920 --> 02:00:42,320
Speaker 1: on the quarterback play. Here. Let's go to dam and

2491
02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Rochester Hight. Dan, go ahead, you're in the air. Hey, guys,

2492
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:49,520
Speaker 1: are you doing good? Good? Good good? Hey. I don't

2493
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:51,600
Speaker 1: think the bill should start ailing after the bye week.

2494
02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:54,760
Speaker 1: I think Barkley played well yesterday. I think Allen can

2495
02:00:54,920 --> 02:00:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he needs some development, but shit

2496
02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:00,120
Speaker 1: behind Barkeley and Eric Anderson, watch watch all they do

2497
02:01:00,200 --> 02:01:02,320
Speaker 1: it weekend week out. I mean, he already hurt his elbow.

2498
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Don't rush him back from injury. Let the kids sit

2499
02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:09,480
Speaker 1: behind a couple veterans and see how it's done. I

2500
02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:11,560
Speaker 1: think that'll be some good experience for him. Well, den,

2501
02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:14,920
Speaker 1: isn't his development accelerated when he's actually the one out

2502
02:01:14,960 --> 02:01:17,520
Speaker 1: there taking the snaps, making the plays, trying the throws.

2503
02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Isn't it the best way to get him developed developed?

2504
02:01:21,200 --> 02:01:23,800
Speaker 1: I agree with that, but uh, you know, franchise quarterback,

2505
02:01:23,840 --> 02:01:25,880
Speaker 1: what happens if he goes out, gets hurt and he's uh,

2506
02:01:26,480 --> 02:01:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, week twelve and he's done for the rest

2507
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:29,440
Speaker 1: of the year, and then the next year that we're

2508
02:01:29,520 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: kind of kind of stuck without him. But I agree,

2509
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:34,320
Speaker 1: he gets kind of you know, one side is either

2510
02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:36,800
Speaker 1: way to start him or sit him. It's a it's

2511
02:01:36,840 --> 02:01:40,960
Speaker 1: a risk every week you play somebody, I mean, thanks

2512
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:43,200
Speaker 1: for your call. Let's go to Mark Marks on the line,

2513
02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:46,000
Speaker 1: Marco ahead and you're on the air with this. Hey guys, um,

2514
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:49,360
Speaker 1: first thing I wanted to I hope and Tasker was on.

2515
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to congratulate him on a great career. Best Sorry,

2516
02:01:53,720 --> 02:01:55,720
Speaker 1: he'll be here tomorrow and you can call in tomorrow

2517
02:01:55,760 --> 02:01:57,120
Speaker 1: and make sure you vote for him for the Hall

2518
02:01:57,160 --> 02:01:59,000
Speaker 1: of Fame tomorrow when you call into. I was just

2519
02:01:59,120 --> 02:02:01,720
Speaker 1: gonna say he that he's number one in my book.

2520
02:02:01,800 --> 02:02:03,520
Speaker 1: I think we can count that vote even though Steve's

2521
02:02:03,560 --> 02:02:05,600
Speaker 1: not here, we can probably include that there it is

2522
02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I just saw on the scoreboard. Thank you. Thanks, He

2523
02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:13,000
Speaker 1: was a great childhood memory, you know. So I appreciate

2524
02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:15,800
Speaker 1: listening to him nowadays, not as much as humor. Sometimes

2525
02:02:15,840 --> 02:02:18,880
Speaker 1: he babbles a little too much, I do, or Steve does.

2526
02:02:19,080 --> 02:02:21,920
Speaker 1: He does. He babbled too much. All right, now we're

2527
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:23,720
Speaker 1: gonna take away that Hall of Fame vote now that

2528
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 1: you've no, well that's different. Listen. This is the reason

2529
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm really calling because on Sundays, I usually watch the

2530
02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:34,880
Speaker 1: entire game. You know, my dad's seventy eight, he's got

2531
02:02:34,960 --> 02:02:37,400
Speaker 1: that mess. So I decided this Sunday I would just

2532
02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:40,440
Speaker 1: start off with giving him a shower, you know. I said,

2533
02:02:40,480 --> 02:02:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss the first quarter probably. I come in

2534
02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:45,400
Speaker 1: watching my TV. It's fourteen nothing. I'm like, what the

2535
02:02:45,480 --> 02:02:48,960
Speaker 1: hell's going on? Four two times? You know? Yeah, and

2536
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 1: then I'm watching more and more and more, and I'm like,

2537
02:02:51,480 --> 02:02:53,960
Speaker 1: you could see the energy, you could feel the energy

2538
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:56,880
Speaker 1: from the players, like it was a whole different team.

2539
02:02:56,920 --> 02:02:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean from the offensive line, there was energy that

2540
02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:03,000
Speaker 1: they had at you know, that energy. I can't explain

2541
02:03:03,040 --> 02:03:06,160
Speaker 1: any better. Zay Jones is just just jumping around everywhere,

2542
02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:08,920
Speaker 1: act like he's been in the league for ten years. Uh.

2543
02:03:09,120 --> 02:03:12,840
Speaker 1: Foster didn't get over a hundred yards receiving. Who's this guy,

2544
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:15,440
Speaker 1: you know and all pro all of a sudden. I

2545
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:18,880
Speaker 1: think it would be a terrible mistake to put in

2546
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:22,120
Speaker 1: Jones right away now, I mean at the beginning of

2547
02:03:22,200 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 1: the year whatever. Maybe different Josh Allen, Allen got Josh Allen,

2548
02:03:28,480 --> 02:03:31,480
Speaker 1: Yes he's done. Sorry, well, Barkley's out of what you

2549
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:33,680
Speaker 1: is he from u JFC? I think I'm on a chair.

2550
02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:36,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, so well, let's see what he can do.

2551
02:03:36,720 --> 02:03:38,480
Speaker 1: If you can play well the rest of the year.

2552
02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:41,080
Speaker 1: I think that he can't. That's another thing. And only

2553
02:03:41,280 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 1: like a half a season left, so it's not like

2554
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 1: we're taking away from the from Josh's whole year. He

2555
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:48,760
Speaker 1: had his time in there. He didn't do so hot.

2556
02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:52,200
Speaker 1: You know, Next year's another year. Why not learn from

2557
02:03:52,240 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 1: this guy and what he have. By some chance, this

2558
02:03:54,640 --> 02:03:56,640
Speaker 1: guy goes on a roll, you know, it starts throwing

2559
02:03:56,880 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 1: touchdown after touchdown. Next year we could use him as

2560
02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe get a second or two. Yeah, I

2561
02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:04,360
Speaker 1: don't care about next year's draft right now. I'll be

2562
02:04:04,400 --> 02:04:06,960
Speaker 1: honest with you, you know, I think Josh Allen's development

2563
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:10,200
Speaker 1: supersedes any of those considerations that you have, especially with

2564
02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:12,160
Speaker 1: seven losses. I mean, if this was a team that

2565
02:04:12,280 --> 02:04:15,520
Speaker 1: was seven and seven and three, all right, I'm listening,

2566
02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:17,800
Speaker 1: you know about keeping Barkley in the lineup. But this

2567
02:04:17,920 --> 02:04:20,200
Speaker 1: is a three and seven team. And I think the

2568
02:04:20,280 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 1: coaching staff largely turned the page this week with all

2569
02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:24,800
Speaker 1: the rookies that were either a called up to the

2570
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:30,080
Speaker 1: roster be acquired by waivers, and see started and played

2571
02:04:30,160 --> 02:04:33,520
Speaker 1: the majority of the game. If that's not indication enough

2572
02:04:33,600 --> 02:04:35,360
Speaker 1: that hey, we're turning the page. We're going with the

2573
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:37,600
Speaker 1: young guys. We're going to give them valuable experience, see

2574
02:04:37,640 --> 02:04:39,640
Speaker 1: what they can do. If they happen to be big

2575
02:04:39,680 --> 02:04:43,400
Speaker 1: contributors along the way, that's gravy. And I think the

2576
02:04:43,480 --> 02:04:46,800
Speaker 1: approach will be the same with Josh Allen, a quarterback,

2577
02:04:46,880 --> 02:04:49,080
Speaker 1: and coach said as much today. When Josh is healthy,

2578
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:51,880
Speaker 1: he is our starters. So all signs are pointing to

2579
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:53,960
Speaker 1: him being healthy by the time this team takes the

2580
02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:56,880
Speaker 1: field again in two weeks against Jacksonville, and that's the

2581
02:04:56,920 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 1: way they'll go. And will it look as pretty as

2582
02:04:59,360 --> 02:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Sunday's game yesterday. There's probably a pretty good chance it won't.

2583
02:05:03,560 --> 02:05:08,360
Speaker 1: But the main impetus, the main priority for this team

2584
02:05:09,160 --> 02:05:11,440
Speaker 1: is to get Josh Allen as much time on the

2585
02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:14,120
Speaker 1: field as possible this year so when they hit the

2586
02:05:14,200 --> 02:05:17,680
Speaker 1: ground running next year, Allen is up to speed. He's

2587
02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:20,320
Speaker 1: seen the live bullets. He's only got what five starts

2588
02:05:20,400 --> 02:05:22,960
Speaker 1: right now, yep, so you know he needs six more.

2589
02:05:23,080 --> 02:05:25,360
Speaker 1: Give him eleven, give him more than half of the schedule,

2590
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, for for his rookie year, and hopefully this

2591
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:32,040
Speaker 1: team's offense is a big beneficiary of that experience. In

2592
02:05:32,080 --> 02:05:34,400
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, thinking about that, and Tasker and I talked

2593
02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:37,760
Speaker 1: about it. In his rookie year, Trubisky had twelve starts

2594
02:05:38,240 --> 02:05:40,360
Speaker 1: and it seems to have been a pretty good payoff

2595
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:42,760
Speaker 1: for him. You know, he's not a fully developed product

2596
02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:45,760
Speaker 1: at or a finished product. But so if Josh Allen

2597
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:47,520
Speaker 1: gets out of this year with eleven starts, will kind

2598
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:49,040
Speaker 1: of be in that ballpark and I think ready to

2599
02:05:49,520 --> 02:05:51,400
Speaker 1: kick it into the next level. I think eleven starts

2600
02:05:51,520 --> 02:05:53,760
Speaker 1: is not bad maybe what I mean. We did a

2601
02:05:53,840 --> 02:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Twitter poll once way back in the summer, how many

2602
02:05:56,880 --> 02:05:58,720
Speaker 1: starts for Josh Allen the shart Let to go back

2603
02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:01,120
Speaker 1: and see what at least the popular opinion was, how

2604
02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:02,520
Speaker 1: many starts? Who we get? I want to say it

2605
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:05,360
Speaker 1: was somewhere between like a nine and twelve starts, so

2606
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:07,360
Speaker 1: we'd be right on schedule for that. Here's a call

2607
02:06:07,440 --> 02:06:09,920
Speaker 1: from Carl in Clarence. Hello, Carl, go ahead, you're on

2608
02:06:09,960 --> 02:06:14,480
Speaker 1: the ear allong, guys. I respectfully disagree with you, and

2609
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:20,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with the last caller more wholeheartedly. Were

2610
02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:23,400
Speaker 1: to kill Josh one more weeks to stay on the pension,

2611
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:26,120
Speaker 1: to learn how success really looks. I mean, we saw

2612
02:06:26,160 --> 02:06:28,480
Speaker 1: a game yesterday that we haven't seen him Buffalo in

2613
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:31,600
Speaker 1: a long long time. We got to find out that

2614
02:06:31,680 --> 02:06:34,560
Speaker 1: this is a fool or maybe we got hit. Needed

2615
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:37,440
Speaker 1: a bottel here, But I mean, well, Carl, let me

2616
02:06:37,560 --> 02:06:40,560
Speaker 1: let me ask you a couple of questions. I respectfully

2617
02:06:40,600 --> 02:06:43,720
Speaker 1: disagree with you, I think, but what's the upside to

2618
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:46,280
Speaker 1: finding out whether Matt Barkley is a fluke or not?

2619
02:06:47,560 --> 02:06:50,360
Speaker 1: At best case scenario, Barkley maybe a year from now,

2620
02:06:50,440 --> 02:06:52,880
Speaker 1: could be a really good backup quarterback here. I don't

2621
02:06:52,920 --> 02:06:55,320
Speaker 1: think based on his performance in the NFL so far,

2622
02:06:55,600 --> 02:06:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you can accurately project him as a

2623
02:06:58,800 --> 02:07:01,960
Speaker 1: as a big time NFL franchise quarterback. I think that's

2624
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:05,360
Speaker 1: the hope and the expectation for Josh Allen, isn't it.

2625
02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's what I think. Finding out about

2626
02:07:08,120 --> 02:07:10,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is more important than finding out about Matt.

2627
02:07:10,800 --> 02:07:15,720
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley and one last game in this season, it's

2628
02:07:15,760 --> 02:07:18,040
Speaker 1: going to make that big, good difference, you know. But

2629
02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:20,240
Speaker 1: what's one more game for Barkley gonna do? I mean,

2630
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:23,240
Speaker 1: what's it's the difference between what seven wins and six

2631
02:07:23,320 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 1: wins or six wins and five wins for the season

2632
02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:29,200
Speaker 1: sounds shelfish. But how about thinking about the Buffalo fan,

2633
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:32,680
Speaker 1: the people of Buffalo yesterday? The thing we're joining them

2634
02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:35,920
Speaker 1: Souths more than I've seen them and enjoyed them many

2635
02:07:36,160 --> 02:07:38,680
Speaker 1: a year. And I think, you know, we should be

2636
02:07:38,960 --> 02:07:41,280
Speaker 1: counted in on this two. We're a part of the equation,

2637
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:44,120
Speaker 1: I know, and I Chris has a thought on this,

2638
02:07:44,200 --> 02:07:45,880
Speaker 1: and we talked about the earlier run in the show.

2639
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:48,160
Speaker 1: But I also want to say there are many Buffalo

2640
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:52,640
Speaker 1: fans who want long term success and long term grand success,

2641
02:07:52,720 --> 02:07:54,760
Speaker 1: not just six or seven wins. But Chris, what were

2642
02:07:54,800 --> 02:07:57,360
Speaker 1: you saying about? Yeah, I think the fans that want

2643
02:07:57,440 --> 02:07:59,320
Speaker 1: him in the game now want to keep Barkley in

2644
02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:02,920
Speaker 1: the lineup, want the instant gratification of seeing their team

2645
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:06,240
Speaker 1: perform admirably on Sundays instead of what we saw the

2646
02:08:06,320 --> 02:08:09,600
Speaker 1: previous month on offense, which was not much. So I

2647
02:08:09,800 --> 02:08:13,960
Speaker 1: get it, but I think the big picture here is

2648
02:08:14,080 --> 02:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was the investment for the long haul, get

2649
02:08:18,120 --> 02:08:21,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback position answered for the first time in twenty years.

2650
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:25,160
Speaker 1: And the way you do that is by developing him.

2651
02:08:25,240 --> 02:08:27,680
Speaker 1: And the best way to develop him is to play him.

2652
02:08:28,080 --> 02:08:31,760
Speaker 1: And if you don't do that and he steps on

2653
02:08:31,840 --> 02:08:34,440
Speaker 1: the field in twenty nineteen and he's not he's still

2654
02:08:34,520 --> 02:08:37,120
Speaker 1: not got a lot of his teas crossed and his

2655
02:08:37,240 --> 02:08:40,640
Speaker 1: eyes dotted, fans are going to be just as disappointed

2656
02:08:40,760 --> 02:08:44,200
Speaker 1: now as they will be then, And so you have

2657
02:08:44,400 --> 02:08:47,160
Speaker 1: to you have to make a choice here. Do you

2658
02:08:47,280 --> 02:08:50,560
Speaker 1: want to be entertaining for the rest of a season

2659
02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:54,160
Speaker 1: where in all likelihood this team is not reaching the postseason?

2660
02:08:54,920 --> 02:08:59,640
Speaker 1: Or do you want to set yourself up for future success?

2661
02:09:00,360 --> 02:09:02,880
Speaker 1: And I believe me, I know Brandon Bean and Sean

2662
02:09:02,960 --> 02:09:05,040
Speaker 1: McDermott don't subscribe to this at all. They want to

2663
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:06,840
Speaker 1: win now and they want to win in the future.

2664
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:11,360
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen is priority number one right now for

2665
02:09:11,600 --> 02:09:15,400
Speaker 1: this team. Going forward and was probably priority one all along,

2666
02:09:15,760 --> 02:09:18,000
Speaker 1: but even more so now that this team has seven

2667
02:09:18,080 --> 02:09:22,480
Speaker 1: losses and the prospects for the postseason this year are

2668
02:09:23,160 --> 02:09:26,040
Speaker 1: slim to none at this point in time. So I

2669
02:09:26,160 --> 02:09:29,560
Speaker 1: think it's incumbent on this organization all the more to

2670
02:09:29,760 --> 02:09:32,120
Speaker 1: get Josh Allen on the field, get him time to

2671
02:09:32,240 --> 02:09:36,080
Speaker 1: develop so that he is that much more prepared to

2672
02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:40,080
Speaker 1: excel as the franchises quarterback in twenty nineteen. See if

2673
02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:42,839
Speaker 1: we can squeeze in one more called Mark and Amherst Marcohey,

2674
02:09:42,880 --> 02:09:44,000
Speaker 1: we don't have a whole lot of time here we

2675
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:48,640
Speaker 1: go ahead. Oh, guys, I think we should maybe think

2676
02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:56,320
Speaker 1: about the way that Anderson came in and just went

2677
02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:58,760
Speaker 1: out there and threw the ball, had no problem throwing

2678
02:09:58,840 --> 02:10:01,120
Speaker 1: it down the field, and then all of a sudden

2679
02:10:01,160 --> 02:10:05,280
Speaker 1: the following week Arkley comes in. He had no problem

2680
02:10:05,400 --> 02:10:09,120
Speaker 1: throwing it down the field. And one thing I think

2681
02:10:09,160 --> 02:10:13,400
Speaker 1: about with that is is it coincidental or is it

2682
02:10:13,520 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the fact that they haven't been on the team long

2683
02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:19,200
Speaker 1: enough for maybe the coaches to get to them to

2684
02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:23,080
Speaker 1: coach their instincts oude of them, Because all I hear

2685
02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:26,240
Speaker 1: about with Peterman and Josh Allen even when they do

2686
02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:29,840
Speaker 1: interviews is how they have to take what's there and

2687
02:10:30,280 --> 02:10:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, don't worry about going to the check down.

2688
02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:38,080
Speaker 1: In the style of these coaches seems to be conservative

2689
02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:40,720
Speaker 1: by nature. I don't know about that. I do think

2690
02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:43,720
Speaker 1: they're trying to let's leave Peterman out of the equation,

2691
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:45,960
Speaker 1: but talk about Josh. They know what they have with

2692
02:10:46,080 --> 02:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. They know how strong his arm is, they

2693
02:10:47,960 --> 02:10:51,480
Speaker 1: know his capabilities, and I think they're kind of taking

2694
02:10:51,760 --> 02:10:55,640
Speaker 1: steps forward with him on a gradual and progressive basis.

2695
02:10:55,920 --> 02:10:58,800
Speaker 1: Maybe not to your liking or some people's liking, but gee,

2696
02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:02,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think they coach Thail. I

2697
02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:05,880
Speaker 1: think for young quarterbacks that come to the NFL, the

2698
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:10,200
Speaker 1: biggest lesson that they have to learn is not every

2699
02:11:10,240 --> 02:11:12,320
Speaker 1: play is going to be a home run. In college,

2700
02:11:12,360 --> 02:11:15,200
Speaker 1: the big plays are there far more often, the windows

2701
02:11:15,240 --> 02:11:18,440
Speaker 1: are a lot larger, and with players like Josh Allen,

2702
02:11:18,560 --> 02:11:21,760
Speaker 1: with the physical ability that he has, he can take

2703
02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:24,520
Speaker 1: those kinds of chances at the college level and sometimes

2704
02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:27,160
Speaker 1: good things will happen. And I think if there was

2705
02:11:27,240 --> 02:11:29,280
Speaker 1: one thing that Josh got a little ahead of himself

2706
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:32,240
Speaker 1: on when he was starting games, was he was trying

2707
02:11:32,280 --> 02:11:35,160
Speaker 1: to get it all in one play. And I think

2708
02:11:35,200 --> 02:11:38,200
Speaker 1: the lesson that the coaching staff was trying to teach

2709
02:11:38,280 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 1: him as they brought him along was a four yard

2710
02:11:41,320 --> 02:11:44,600
Speaker 1: five yard pass is not a bad play. It's not

2711
02:11:44,720 --> 02:11:47,280
Speaker 1: a bad play because it keeps you unmanageable down in distance,

2712
02:11:47,360 --> 02:11:51,839
Speaker 1: It allows your coordinator to choose from a wider variety

2713
02:11:51,920 --> 02:11:55,960
Speaker 1: of play call options, and keeps you on the field

2714
02:11:56,360 --> 02:11:58,560
Speaker 1: so when it is time to take that big shot,

2715
02:11:58,680 --> 02:12:02,240
Speaker 1: you can take it. And until they learn that, you

2716
02:12:02,360 --> 02:12:04,480
Speaker 1: know it's going to be coached into them more so

2717
02:12:04,640 --> 02:12:07,320
Speaker 1: than you thinking them coaching big plays out of them.

2718
02:12:07,560 --> 02:12:09,520
Speaker 1: There's a time and place for those plays, but in

2719
02:12:09,600 --> 02:12:12,280
