52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: extremely impressed with the way your team, including the new

53
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: guys who've never played in some of them never played

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: in a game before, the way they approach these games.

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: It's it's like these matter whether or not they manor

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: in the playoff picture or not. Oh for sure. And

57
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the guys in the locker room, Um,

58
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's such a such a unique group of

59
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: guys in the in the locker room, and you know

60
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: this the brotherhood that we that we share. Um in

61
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: that locker room, guys want to play and guys want

62
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: to win, you know, and guys work extremely hard throughout

63
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: the week to perform well on Sundays. You know, guys

64
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: like Keith Ford and and uh, you know, and all

65
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: the younger guys. You can go down the list, but uh,

66
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, is there's something special yesterday, you know, and

67
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: you can definitely feel feel, you know, things going in

68
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the right direction. Yeah, your defense and the second halpportunity

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: came in a halftime, made some adjustments. You shut them

70
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: out in the second half. In fact, they only got

71
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: past midfield once and for the missfield goal. Uh, what

72
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: are some of the things you talk about? And defense

73
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: has kind of been your your characteristic your defense that

74
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: you you get better as the game goes on. Yeah,

75
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: and and I think the Jets game kind of, um,

76
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: we were able to learn from that game. You know,

77
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: we had a lead in the Jets game and we

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of we let it slid from us and and

79
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: we didn't make enough plays in the end to uh

80
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: to to win the game and steal the game for

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: our for our team. And so um, that's I mean,

82
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: that's just another thing. You know, our team just continues

83
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: to learn through um, through past past mistakes. And you know,

84
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: we were able to just make one more player than

85
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: they did at the end to win the game. Jordan,

86
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: was there something schematic, some kind of change defensively for

87
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: for your group, uh, after their second touchdown, because they

88
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: really produced nothing after that. Yeah, I think at halftime,

89
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: our coaches did a really good job of coming in

90
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: and making those adjustments and and and you know, I

91
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: can't go into specific details about all the adjustments that

92
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: we made, but you know, they they you know, definitely

93
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: called the game a little bit slightly different and we

94
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: were able to just you know, make make those plays

95
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: that when they were there. Yeah, at the end of

96
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: the game, you guys needed a couple of plays to

97
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: shut it out. You made the tackle on the tight end,

98
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: You made the tackle on the running back and really

99
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: forced him into you know, giving the ball back to

100
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: your offense. And then, um, the great thing to see

101
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: you two minutes and fifty seconds left, you guys never

102
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: saw the field again. Game was over your one. That

103
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: was I mean, that just that's the that's the character

104
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: of our team, man um. And that's just it. You know,

105
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: special teams, offense, defense. You know, it took all three

106
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: phases to win that game yesterday. And you know, like

107
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: you said, you we got to stop, and they gave

108
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: us the ball in our offense was able to milk

109
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the clock away and you know they, um,

110
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: they did an awesome job. I was thinking about that

111
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: in the in the end of the game and and

112
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: then like like forming an offense that channel was running.

113
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, every situation meant most situations he encounters are

114
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: the first time for him, you know, like that yesterday,

115
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: how do we pick up a first down here and

116
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: force them to use their time outs? Killed the clock.

117
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: He's really never done that before. And he got that

118
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: experience done and did it well yesterday. And he did

119
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: did extremely well. And you know, Josh is a guy

120
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: that you know, he's got a he's got a huge

121
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: career and you know ahead of him, and you know,

122
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: it's so excited to see you know how how you

123
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: know fars came from his first game until so now

124
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: and just you know, no, he's going to continue to

125
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: grow and continue to do the things that he that

126
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: he does. You were busy, you got eleven tie, You

127
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: led the team in tackles. Uh. I don't know if

128
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: it's always a good thing to have a safety leading

129
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: the league team in tackles because you know, sometimes it's

130
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: down the field, but you were busy. Did you guys

131
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: have an idea that it might be that kind of game. Yeah,

132
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: we knew they were gonna come in and try to run,

133
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, run the ball and and anytime you know,

134
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: team is uh, you know that is that's gonna be

135
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: the mentality. I know I'm gonna have, you know, have

136
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: to have a busy day, you know, whether it's to

137
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: defeating crack blocks or or you know, feeling it, feeling gaps,

138
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, because you know our defense is very you know,

139
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: gap sound, and you know each player as a gap

140
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: and so um, you know, a couple of plays, I

141
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: was just able to see the open gap and come

142
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: and make a good tackle. And you know it's just

143
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: it's it's you know not and that ball could hit

144
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: anywhere and just happen to hit you know, you know,

145
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: happen to come to me. And you know, any any

146
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: guy could make those tackles, you know, if it if

147
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: it goes soon. But I was there's just the right

148
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: place at the right time, able to make the tackles

149
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: when they were there. I was watching the game over

150
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: this morning. The Network version of the game. Several times,

151
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,080

152
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,040

Speaker 1: you talking? I mean, all right, we'll go through a

156
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: place so you know, plays over. You know, we're looking

157
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: for the sideline for the personnel. Mike and I both

158
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta get the personnel. So we get

159
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: the personnel. Um waiting for the call from from Maine,

160
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: and we get the call from Maine whatever it is,

161
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, Um, as soon as we get the call,

162
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, say we're in quarters, we look at each

163
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: other based off of what personnel is and kind of

164
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, say, here's our adjustments if they come out

165
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: and this and this and that, you know, and tell

166
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: the corners this. You know, it's a lot of communications.

167
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: You can constantly talking all the time. And you know,

168
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: if if we know what each other's doing, we can

169
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: and we know what friends doing, and just it helps

170
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: everybody play faster. So you know, I think communication is

171
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: key in this defense. And so him and I try

172
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: to try to do that to the most. Yeah, to

173
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: consider it's the twenty two moving parts, eleven on your side,

174
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: eleven on. There's plus a lot of guys making decisions

175
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: independently of exactly. It's hard to keep track of all that, right,

176
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the idea, it is, and I mean,

177
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, just the more every we can communicate, everybody's

178
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: on the same page. And that's you know, that's when

179
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: we play fast, and that's when you know we're able

180
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: to make plays when we play fast. Talk a little

181
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: bit about you, guys. I want to ask you, what's

182
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: the defense think about your new quarterback? This young guy,

183
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: he's kind of been the engine of the offense. You know,

184
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: his ability to run it, throw it. He's got the

185
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: ability to throw all over the football field. What do

186
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: you guys think about Josh? I mean, they think he's

187
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: just a hell of an athlete, hell of a quarter back.

188
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: You know, just the way he approaches the game and

189
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: the way he uh, you know, he fires us up

190
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: with the plays that he makes. He fires us up

191
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: with them. You know, even even if he throws a

192
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: bomb and it's incomplete, you know, it's we're all off

193
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: the bench, like you know, the ball it's you know,

194
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: like let somebody go get it. You know, he just

195
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: fires us up and he gives he was the whole

196
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: team of spark, you know when he makes those big plays,

197
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: and I think it carries over, you know, um from

198
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: the special teams to the defense. You know, he gives

199
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: this whole team of spark. And you know he's such

200
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: a high character guy, and so you want to root

201
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: for him and you want him to be successful. Bill Safety, Jordan,

202
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: poor your instudy with us. I want to ask you

203
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: about the other team's quarterback yesterday, Matthew Stafford, who I

204
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: think he got hit like on the second play from scrimmage,

205
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: and you could tell he hurt like his hippers back,

206
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: but he kind of gutted through it. I thought. I

207
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: thought he threw some pretty nice passes too, as a

208
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: matter of fact, and you can tell he was hurting, right. Yeah. Well,

209
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't. I didn't see the hit until I

210
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: watched the film last night and I saw and then

211
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: I kind of realized, like, dang, that might have affected him,

212
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: you know throughout the game you don't like any Yeah

213
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't actually see it in the uh

214
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: in the game, but uh, but yeah, I mean he

215
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: can make every throw. Man, he can make it, eat

216
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: every throw down the field. You know, if he fitted

217
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: ball and you know he had pressure. I think he

218
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: was like the second play of the game, we were

219
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: in a man to man coverage and he had a

220
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: pressure right in his face and kind of just slung

221
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: it out there and over route um and hit you know,

222
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: hit it hit his guy in stripes. So you know,

223
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: he's he can make every throw. You know, he's he's

224
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, has had a successful career

225
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and so um, you know, he's just

226
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: happy to get away with the win. Here's another Lions

227
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: who impressed me, Yes City Kenny Gottada, especially first half

228
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Um And it wasn't like he was wide open, but

229
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: he can he went after contested balls and got him.

230
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean he was like strong hands or something, but

231
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: he really got after it, I thought, with some big

232
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: plays for them. Yeah. Yeah, I mean he's been doing

233
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: that for them all season. You know, he's had a

234
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: lot of you know, contested throws and a lot of

235
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: players that I look on film, you know, watching the

236
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: tape and like, you know, Dan, he's he's he's a

237
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: long guy. He's got a lot of range and he's

238
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: got strong hands and so you know, um, and each

239
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: ball was contested, Like you said, he's passy, kept caught

240
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: was a contested you know, as a good receiver, and

241
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: you know it's a it's good on good out there.

242
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Before this game, you guys came in and there were

243
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, you got Leshawn's out, Ivory's out. A lot

244
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: of offense is even nicked up for You've been kind

245
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: of you guys have been the engine the team. You

246
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: were number one overall defense in the league. Coming into

247
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: the game. You knew that, you know, you're kind of

248
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: the strength of the team. But then you see the

249
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: offense get even further depleted with injuries. The wide receivers

250
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: are all young, some of them, a lot of them

251
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: undrafted from the tight ends all the way out. What

252
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: is there a thought about, you know, how tough this

253
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: game is really gonna be today, given the fact that

254
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: you know, we got guys that you know this, some

255
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: of them seeing their first action. Yeah, I mean, you

256
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: know each week, you know, as a defensive player, you

257
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: know he comes to the game, you know, knowing that

258
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: the game is gonna be won. You know, on your

259
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: side of the football. You know, whether you know the

260
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: offensive game plan or not, you know you expect that,

261
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: you know, you have to play well in order for

262
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: our team to be successful. And so, um that being said,

263
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: you know it's in this league, isn't that always next

264
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: man up? And the type of guys that we have

265
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: on this football team, Um, you know, every everybody's studying

00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about another guy stepping up

288
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: and with the tarn Johnson out Bush has had to

289
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: play nickel corner and done a pretty good job for

290
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks now for sure. And uh Bush

291
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: isn't excuse me. Bush another one of those high character

292
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: guys as a leader and our and our secondary leader

293
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: on our defense. Um, you know, a guy that comes

294
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: into work each week and works hard at his craft

295
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's it's not an easy position

296
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: to come in and play that that nickel position, and

297
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: especially you know with all the verbs and you know,

298
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: and he came from safety. You know he rap has

299
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: played almost every position on our defense this year. Um,

300
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: but you know, just being able to go from safety

301
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: and then go down to nickel and being able to

302
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: learn that position, um the way he had and and

303
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: and play the way he's played, you know, it speaks

304
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: a lot about him. A couple of games left and

305
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: it starts with the game in Foxburg against the Patriots,

306
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: who who beat the Bills back in October by kind

307
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: of a lopsided score. But the game was close, I

308
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: thought up until the very end, right you guys, you

309
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: guys hung with him pretty well back in our Yeah,

310
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: we did believe the game was a lot closer to

311
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: the score. And you know, it's it's gonna be exciting opportunity.

312
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, we're excited about the opportunity to go down

313
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: there Fox burrown play again. Uh, you know they they

314
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: just came off for loss, and so that you know,

315
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: we know they're gonna be pretty hungry to go back there,

316
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: and so you know it's gonna it's gonna be a

317
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun one where excited. Had two

318
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: straight losses. Did you see the end of the Miami

319
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: game when they so many times you see those and

320
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: you think, you know, you kind of turn the TV

321
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: off and gonna every once in a while one of

322
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: those things happened. What's the hell? How does that affect

323
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: a team, both on on both sides of it. The

324
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: team who gets it in the team who's the victim

325
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: of it. You know, I've never been a part of

326
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: uh a touchdown, you know, lateral play to where I

327
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: was on either side of it. I've been. I've been

328
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: part of a kick six at the end of the game.

329
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: I've been, uh you know the game last year against

330
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and never they never was able to get

331
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: to the end zone. So, you know, I couldn't tell

332
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: you how it would affect, you know, a team positively

333
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: or negatively, because and you know it's tough. You know,

334
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: it's you think the game's over. You know, I can

335
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: only imagine, like you just seeing the guy running down,

336
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, thinking the game's already over. But um, you know,

337
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: like I said, you know, it's a It's a great

338
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: opportunity for us to go into Fox Bro this week

339
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,959

340
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: our past games, and you know, hopefully we play well

341

351
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: on that list definitely deserves me on that list. Somebody

352
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: from this defense first, I mean, why not you write

353
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: something's gonna make it from this. We'll see, We'll see tomorrow,

354
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrow. Okay, Well, it's certainly been a lot

00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: You've put together a lot of great games, a lot

00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: of great performances. Congratulate, Thank you very much. Thanks coming

358
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: by Jordan Poyer, Bill Safety, Steve and I coming back

359
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: in a moment one Bal's Live from one. Bill's driving.

360
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Sta Stafford looks to his right,

361
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: fires that way, clot by the tight end Toy Lolo

362
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: knocked down right away by Jordan Poyer. What a tackle

363
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: at the thirty three yard line, A one and a

364
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: half yard pick up. Jordan Poyer's ben sensational. Today sat

365
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: him on the show Jordan Poyer. He makes the advanced

366
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: alarmed defensive play of the game, Advanced Alarm providing Western

367
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: New York's homes and businesses with the finest in security

368
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: and home theater. He preferred Alarm at home theater provider

369
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. That was a key play stop.

370
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: The Alliance forced them to punt it away and the

371
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Bills came on and killed the clock after that. Poyer

372
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: was great, And yeah, I mean we maybe should ask

373
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: a few more questions about his game. I can tell

374
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: you a little bit shy talking about himself, but man,

375
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: he played great. Yesterday's really had a solid season. Yeah,

376
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: the whole defense has had it, really played a whole

377
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: solid season. It's interesting too for a defense that has

378
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: played as well as the Bills has. Yes, you know,

379
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: they're not killing it in sacks, not killing it in turnovers,

380
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: They're not you know, they're not getting a lot of interceptions.

381
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, they're hard to move the ball on. Yeah.

382
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: You know that second half, man, they the Lions couldn't

383
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: do anything after their second touchdown. The Lions had the

384
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: ball seven more possessions. They punted it away six times

385
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: and mississi field goal on the other I mean good

386
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: luck with a yard field goal. Yeah, that's how that's

387
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: the closer they got to the thirty yard line. It

388
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: wasn't win for the Bills. You know that by now

389
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: fourteen thirteen the final score the Bills over the Detroit Lions.

390
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo keeps plugging away and we want to talk with

391

Speaker 1: skills translating to the NFL. He got a close up

400
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: look at Josh Allen yesterday, and Matthew Stafford will get

401
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,600

Speaker 1: the Fox TV network. Bruce Feldman coming up with us

403
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: today during the two o'clock hour and a lot of

404
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: ground to cover today, Steve, I'm excited about today's show.

405
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: We got a lot to do and it was a

406
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: fun game. I think a lot of people, the general

407
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: feeling that you get when people you know express it

408
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: on whatever form they do on Twitter, in opinions and

409
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: all the media people that I've read, felt like it

410
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: was a step forward for Josh Allen. He threw the

411
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: football away at some smart times, he didn't run and

412
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: credit I don't know if you can credit him or

413
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: credit the Lions for not letting him run like he

414
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: had in the past few weeks. He didn't get one

415
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: hundred yards yesterday, only got like what sixteen or something,

416
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: right nineteen and he was only he was thirteen to

417
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: twenty six fifty percent with a handful of throwaways, handful

418
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: of drops. I mean, that's that's an oversu to him.

419
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: Not that many, but oh right right. There would have

420
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: been tough catches, no question. But and he did it

421
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: with I mean, the highest, the most acclaimed receiver on

422
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: the team on the field, his only weapon was Zay Jones,

423
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: who was a second round draft pick. He had a

424
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: couple of undrafted free agents a couple of fifth and

425
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: sixth seventh round draft picks. Those were the weapons that

426
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: were around him. It was pretty impressive. I thought that

427
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: those guys running around and I think continually you got

428
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: to tip your hat to Brian Dabo for giving those

429
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: guys chances to get open and find us some space

430
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: he got. Obviously. The running back position hit hard. No McCoy,

431
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: no Chris Ivory at the start of the game. Marcus

432
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: Murphy running well early on, then he got hurt, he

433
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: left with an elbow, and then was essentially down to

434
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: the last man standing, Keith Ford at the running back spot. Um,

435
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he was ragged. Yeah he was okay,

436
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: he gave it a good list night. I can feel

437
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: for him. I know what it's like to get kind

438
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: of plugged in last minute, unexpectedly, and what happens is

439
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: you've been yeah. I mean, these guys are in shape.

440
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: It's they're deep into the season. They practice every day,

441
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: they lift, they work out, they recover. They go in there.

442
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: You're ready to play. But what happens is your body,

443
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: because it's like an opportunity. You're getting plugged in someplace

444
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: it's new and it's different. You're and all of a sudden,

445
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of pressure on you to perform

446
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: for the entire team, not just you know, for your

447
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 1: little special teams group over here, for whatever. I mean,

448
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 1: he's you're the only guy standing. You get an adrenaline

449
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: pump like no other. And what it does is it

450
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: wears you out in about thirty seconds and you get

451
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: you run like two you've been running plays. You run

452
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: ten plays at a time in practice, and you go

453
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: back and say you get ready to run again. You

454
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: run two plays in a game with your adrenaline kicking in,

455
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: and you feel like you haven't run a step in

456
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: two years. You're so out of shape. It's a It's

457
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: a unique phenomenon that I've felt a number of times

458
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: when I was playing, because most of when I played

459
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: as a special team or on offensive defense, it was

460
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: an emergency, so it wasn't nervous energy is yeah, you're

461
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: your adrenaline gets jacked through the roof and it wears

462
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: you out quick, and it takes you a while to

463
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: take a few deep breaths and back up, and maybe

464
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: even between series you think, Okay, now I'm gonna be

465
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: all right, you know, because it's I can feel for

466
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: Keith Ford going in and going through what he did,

467
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: because he was probably shot after about three carries and

468
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: ended up having a lot more than that I got.

469
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk in a minute about the most valuable

470
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: players in yesterday's game. In fact, that's our Twitter poll,

471
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, I'm gonna start kind

472
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: of upside down on this. I have a nominee for

473
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: the unsung hero of yesterday's game. You want to hear it,

474
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: Patrick de Marco, Pat DeMarco. I mean he had he

475
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: had the one carry for nine yards. He was joking

476
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: about it afterwards, talking about how his yards per game

477
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: yards per game now is at least in the plus

478
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: territory as opposed to the minus where it usually is.

479
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: He doesn't carry the ball much. He catches the ball occasionally.

480
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: He just got the one carry yesterday. But he was

481
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: there to be the Ford, well, actually the fifth string

482
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: tailback ready to go. I asked him in the locker room.

483
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: Did you go over plays at halftime? He said, we

484
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: knew during the week we were going to be down

485
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: in numbers, so we put in plays for me as

486
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: the backup tailback during the course of the week, and

487
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: they needed him. He played on fifteen plays and he

488
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: did a great job blocking for Marcus Murphy first and

489
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: then Keith Ford later. I just think he's he played

490
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: special teams. I think he's kind of an unsung hero,

491
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: and especially yesterday, a guy who who was there when

492
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: they needed him Steve as far as carrying the football

493
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: when the when the tailbacks were out, and has always

494
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: been there all season long. I nominated Pat to Marco

495
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: was the unsung He wrote yesterday, that's pretty good. That's

496
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: a that's a great one. Corey Thompson on defense, I

497
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: thought play he was on the field quite a bit yesterday.

498
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: You see him running around fifty two and I was

499
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: at first, you know, you you forgot he was gonna

500
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: be in there. It's like, oh wow, there he is

501
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: right there, you know. And there's a lot of guys

502
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: that stepped up. And I think it's really comforting to

503
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: know that the culture that the Bill's coaching staff and

504
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: organizations have tried to put together when they got like

505
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: fifteen guys hurt, and they did. I mean they you've

506
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: top two running backs are out, and then your third

507
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: running back goes out. You you push aside your top

508
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: two receiver, you two most veteran receivers release them and

509
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: bring these young guys in and they and they flourish. Uh.

510
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: And then when the really when the chips are down

511
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: and you get guys hurt and nicked up on both

512
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. To have guys, you know, with

513
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: Matt Milano being down and Ivory and McCoy, to have

514
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: the entire group kind of cover for that and have

515
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: some some young guys step up and really play well,

516
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: it was. It's pretty comforting and I think it's a

517
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: good a good sign for the where the roster is. Well.

518
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: That gets me to where I'm at as far as

519
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: an overview of the game. And we're working our way

520
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: towards our Twitter poll. We want to get your involvement

521
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: as well and your thoughts on the game. But big picture,

522
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: yesterday's win, one point win over a Lions team that's

523
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: had a rough season. You know what it is for me.

524
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: See how gutty a win it was for the Bills,

525
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: How how gritty it was down way down in numbers

526
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: that running back as you said, Milana was out, their

527
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: nickel corners out for the rest of the year. Receivers

528
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: getting banged up, Isaie mckensgie gets carted off the field

529
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: and comes back and plays. Josh Allen takes some hits,

530
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: finds a way to win. It was a gutty, gritty

531
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: win for a team that many people would look at

532
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: and say, what are these guys playing for? What's going on? Yeah,

533
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: we know there's next year and that's a factor, and

534
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: guys who are trying to win jobs, but they go

535
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: beyond that. They played beyond that. It wasn't a I've

536
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: heard people say, well, that was a I was making

537
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: a joke. I made the joke for the game. This

538
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: is the preseason game that we normally get the Bills

539
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: and the Lions, you know, but you know what, once

540
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: they kicked it off both teams, but the Bills especially,

541
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: we're out there playing, playing as hard as they could.

542
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: And that impressed me. With the lineup the Bills put

543
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 1: on the field, how gutty of victory it was, how

544
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: gritty it was with all those injuries and all those

545
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: people out of place, and Lorenzo Alexander kind of getting

546
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: into a new position. Lorenzo played ninety eight percent of

547
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: the defensive snaps, ninety three percent of the defensive snaps

548
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, about half of the special

549
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: team snaps. It was a gutty, gritty victory, I thought yesterday,

550
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: and I get a lot of credit for that. Yeah,

551
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: no question about it. And they did play a gutty

552
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: gritty performance because they were down in that game most

553
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: of the way, if not all the way. They took

554
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: the lead and the second first half they went up

555
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: seven to six, and then the Lions took it fourteen

556
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: to seven or thirteen to six to seven. Wow, thirteen

557
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: to seven, and then you know, that was where it

558
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: stayed forever, and both teams were and you knew the

559
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Bills were struggling to get something going. And then as

560
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: they get the long pass to Robert Foster, who once

561
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: again went over one hundred yards as it received four

562
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: receptions for one hundred and eight yards. I think he

563
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: had five targets. That's a great percentage for a young quarterback,

564
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: a young wide receiver. I think there's no question that

565
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen starting to trust him and they've got a

566
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: little bit of something going, and it's what's good to

567
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: see Josh Allen. And I think maybe because of the

568
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: game plan of the Lions or whatever, he had plenty

569
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: of time on a lot more occasions than we've seen

570
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: in the past to stand back there and look and

571
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: watch the field. And he made some thro the touchdown

572
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: to Robert Foster one of them, and there were a

573
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: number of other throws as well. He was nine for

574
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: fourteen at the beginning of that game, and it was that,

575
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: to me, is where you'd love to see him. Now

576
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: the things went on further, he didn't have as much success,

577
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: but he had did have the throwaways, and he had

578
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: some drops. But when you're looking at it, when he

579
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: comes out and goes nine for fourteen before finishing thirteen

580
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: for twenty six, that nine for fourteen stretches, you see

581
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: a lot of promise in that. Absolutely. Yeah, he was

582
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: throwing rockets yesterday. He really was. He wasn't perfectly on

583
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: target all the time, but for the most part, he

584
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: was pretty accurate. And we've talked about this a lot

585
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: since Josh Ellen became a Buffalo bill, how completion percentage

586
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: is not necessarily the best barometer for determining accuracy. Yes,

587
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen is not the most accurate passer. We know

588
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: that his completion percentage yesterday was just about fifty percent, right,

589
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: not that good but it's it's the kind of offensive

590
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: running really is the factor here. They're they're hitting the

591
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: big throws, they're trying to go deep. I think they're

592
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: among the league leaders and passes downfield in terms of

593
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: the yardage downfield, and that's what really is a factor

594
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to a complete your percentage. Robert Foster

595
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: to me, Steve has emerged as the number one target

596
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: in this passing game. This passing game which was so

597
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: dead about a month or two ago, about a month

598
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: or six weeks ago. Now with Alan in the lineup

599
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: chucking it and Robert Foster is making so much progress.

600
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: The undrafted rookie free agent who was caught you'll recall,

601
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: came back from the practice squad joined the Bills on

602
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: the active roster again for the Jets game back on November.

603
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: I want to say eleventh was it. And since then

604
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: he's been sensational, best receiver on the team. He's gone

605
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: from being Wow, maybe Robert Foster's making a bid to

606
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: be in the roster next year. No, now it's Robert

607
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: Foster's making a bid to be an important part of

608
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: next year's offense. You can see it already, and it's

609
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: him and his coaching staff. Foster is doing things that

610
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: he didn't do it before. He was just a speed guy,

611
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: even in the Jets game right at the Medalands speed

612
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: all right, he's got that, and you saw on his

613
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: touchdown yesterday. But he also was running routes better. Now

614
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: he's running after the catch much better. He is becoming

615
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: a complete contributor at the wide receiver spot. He's got

616
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: a pretty bright future here. And he's got the chemistry

617
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: with Josh, which is important. Well, the common refrain that

618
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: everybody has said, Josh Allen said it, Sean McDermot has

619
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: said it, and other players have said it as well.

620
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: And he has worked really really hard. Yeah, and guys,

621
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean this is it's not rocket signs. When you

622
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: work really hard with good people around you and good coaching,

623
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: you get better. And that's what Robert Foster has done.

624
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: He was a big question mark when he came in.

625
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: They knew he was a fast guy. He had he

626
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: had the member, he had the leg up on the

627
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: offense because he played with day Ball last year in Alabama.

628
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: How about that he played last year in Alabama with

629
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: na It seems like a lifetime ago now, right, So

630
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: and he came in, he had a lot to learn,

631
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: and he was a little and we've had him on

632
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: the show a couple of times. You can tell he's

633
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: a really soft spoken kid. And and now as you

634
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: can tell and you kind of laugh about it, you

635
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: can tell he's not so soft spoken when he's dancing

636
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: in the end zone whenever he got a touchdown right

637
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: and he drew the long pass interference call because he

638
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: had gotten he'd gotten loose in the secondary and those

639
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: guys were desperate to stop him, and he drew the

640
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: penalty there as well, set up the first touchdown by

641
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So he does He's doing a number of

642
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: things that are really good, and it comes from the

643
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: hard work he's put in. I think that's the thing

644
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: you got to tip your hat too. And that's why

645
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: they go out and find these guys who are intelligent, hardworking,

646
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: solid guys, because they know those kind of guys are

647
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: the ones who get better. Foster one of several undrafted

648
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: rookies who are making contributions to the Bills right now.

649
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: And yes, it's a season that has the Bills at

650
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: what five and nine? Not a successful season, but it's

651
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: a season that sets them up pretty well for next year.

652
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: But there are undrafted rookies all over the roster making plays.

653
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, Jason Krum didn't play last year, so he's

654
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: not a rookie. He's a first year player. He's almost

655
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: a rookie, but he was undrafted. Made a big play

656
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: yes yesterday, big catch. Levi Wallace starting corner now for

657
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: the last five games, we talked about Keith Lafia Pitts,

658
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: where we talked about Robert Foster. Bucker got in the

659
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: game on the offensive line yesterday, played a couple of

660
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: series including he was in on one of the touchdowns.

661
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: And there are others undrafted rookie free agents. Mike Love

662
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: is another one who are making contributions for this Bills

663
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: team right now, which as a ways ago we know that,

664
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: but I think is obviously showing signs of some progress.

665
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: Let's get you involved and we want to It's kind

666

Speaker 1: votes in more than three hundred fifty votes in half

679
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: of you, fifty percent say it was Josh Allen as

680
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: the MVP. Percent say it was Robert Foster, who had

681
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: a career day in terms of catches and yarded Yesterday,

682
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: Robert Foster goes over one hundred yards where the third

683
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: consecutive game, first time a Bill's receiver has done that

684
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: three straight games since twenty fifteen when Sammy Watkins did it. Yesterday,

685
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: Foster four catches, one hundred eight yards. Maybe your choices

686
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 1: for Jordan Poyer, our guest a couple of minutes ago.

687
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: It was sensational eleven tackles on the defensive side of

688
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: the ball. Poyer our guests a couple of minutes ago.

689
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: Maybe he's your pick for the MVP. Maybe it's Lorenzo Alexander.

690
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: I talked about unsung heroes. I don't think Lorenzo was

691
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: unsung anymore, Steve, and he shouldn't be. But look, he's

692
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: forced to play a different position yesterday to help in

693
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: the mix, to replace Matt Milano, and he did it,

694
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: I thought admirably yesterday, came up with big plays, showed leadership,

695
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: he played all the time. He was in on ninety

696
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: three percent of the defensive snaps. So he's playing his

697
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: old position, linebacker position, and then taken over for Milano

698
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: on a number of plays, and Lorenzo made big plays.

699
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, he's in on almost half

700
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: of the special teams plays as well, eleven special team STAPs.

701
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: He may Lexander could be a strong case for the MVP. Yeah,

702
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: he may go to the Pro Bowl. Might. At one

703
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: point he was playing like what fifteen snaps a defensive

704
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: game is all he was playing. You know, they were

705
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: just spotting it and every time he'd get in one

706
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: out every two plays, he was right in the middle

707
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: of it. You know, he's in batting passes down, he's

708
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: rushing the pastor doing everything in coverage and all that.

709
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: So Lorenzo has really had a nice season, and yesterday

710
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: was indicative of it. Although he played in almost every

711
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: defensive snap and all the special teams because of, you know,

712
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: the depletion of the roster. He came through. He came

713
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: through in a big way. And I think it's it's

714
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: good to see and it's great for the young players

715
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: to see as well, for them watching and see how

716
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: this this season has gone for all of these guys.

717
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: What do you think who's your MVP yesterday? Maybe it's Lorenzo.

718
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight oh three five fifty toll

719
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: free one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Let's

720
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: work in a few calls and we'll read a few

721
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: tweets and we'll go to Mike and Wheatfield on the phone. Nine,

722
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: Michael ahead, you're on the air. Hello, gentlemen. Hi, I

723
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: haven't heard Charles clay name mentioned much yesterday. I mean

724
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: that off season. Did he really get any good game

725
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: once his contract expired? You think he'll be back next year?

726
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, good question. He didn't do a whole

727
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: lot yesterday. Played on what let's see, sixty percent of

728
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: the snaps yesterday, Charles Clay targeted once no catches yesterday.

729
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: He hasn't made a lot of plays, and that's you know,

730
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing about Clay two Steve. In years past,

731
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: when he was catching fifty passes a season for the Bills,

732
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: he also was a good blocker, an important part of

733
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: the run success, and he's not able to do that

734
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: yet either. And now he's you know, he's getting passed

735
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: in the in in terms of snaps and terms of

736
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: playing time by the likes of Jason Krum. So I

737
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: don't know, I think his future is definitely in doubt.

738
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: I would think it's definitely in doubt for the Bills. Yeah,

739
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: I think one thing that's that's hampered him is his

740
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: inability to practice us often. They've had to hold him

741
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: out on a lot of practices because of his knee,

742
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: making sure that he's healthy for game day. I think

743
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: those the lack of those reps with a young quarterback

744
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: that could really hamper his ability to gain chemistry with

745
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. And even though I still think the guy's

746
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: got a lot to offer as a tight end, he

747
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: has been a really good player at times, that consistency

748
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: seems to lack because he can't stay healthy enough to

749
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: stay on the field, and also can't practice enough, and

750
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: that's I think that's been a big issue with him

751
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: as well. So if if he can get one hundred

752
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: percent healthy and get on the field and stay there,

753
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: I think they could they could use him. I don't

754
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: think there's any question about it. He's a really good

755
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: quality tight end when he's up and healthy and practicing

756
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: and getting in the middle of the offense. But when

757
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: he can't do any of those things off the field,

758
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: when he can't practice, when he can't get the reps

759
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: with this young quarterback in this young offense, I think

760
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: that hampers in. Clay's got one year left on his

761
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: current deal twenty nineteen season. He would become a free

762
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: agent in twenty twenty, but obviously, you know, the Bills

763
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: might have a decision to make there in this current

764
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: in the subcoming office season. Thanks for a call. Let's

765
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: go to a Chris in Buffalo. Hello, Chris, welcome to

766
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: the show. You're on the air with us. Hi, Chris, Yeah,

767
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: how are you doing, gentleman? I'm calling. I will vote

768
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: for and I will also vote for the day to

769
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: give him, you know, a little more freedom. But one

770
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: thing I want to freedom to do. What what are

771
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: you looking for. I'm just trying to figure we haven't

772
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: heard nobody talking about Star play and to me, that's

773
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: been one of the disappointments and signments that the Bills

774
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 1: have made. Yeah, really why, I mean, if I'm gonna

775
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: show a video, if I'm gonna show the game, I want,

776
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: I want a kid I'm coaching. Looking at Kyle Williams.

777
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: The effort on the ground, still trying to make a

778
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: play fighting Star just haven't been doing nothing. We got

779
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: him for him four more years. I don't don't don't

780
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: be down on Star. I don't. I don't agree with you, Chris.

781
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you his his He's never gonna be

782
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: a guy who is gonna now listen, no question, Kyle's

783
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: a great player and he and he's got that high

784
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: motor and every once in a while he'll pop through

785
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: the line untouched because he catches him off guard. Star

786
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: lot to La has been really integral into the success

787
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: the defense has had to stopping the run. They gotta

788
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: run around him. They do not run where he is.

789
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: And he that guy is a he's a blocker sponge.

790
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: He has made it so the linebackers, particularly like Matt Milano,

791
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: had the kind of year he did in large part

792
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: because Starlo Lele was in front of him, and Kyle

793
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: Williams was in front of him, and Harrison Phillips was

794
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: in front of him. Uh, those guys are doing a

795
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: really nice job up front. It starts with Star You're

796
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: not gonna get a bunch of sacks. You're not gonna

797
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: get a bunch of tackles for losses. What you're gonna

798
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: get is your linebackers and defensive ends are gonna be

799
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: running free to the football a lot more often with

800
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: a guy like Starlo too Lele in the in the lineup,

801
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: He's it's it was a it was a football signing.

802
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't a statistic signing. He's gonna be out there

803
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play. So don't be down on stars. Uh, Star,

804
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: because you had you don't see him tackling the quarterback

805
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: or getting in the backfield and in that run game,

806
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: He's doing exactly what they want him to do, and

807
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: I think they like the way he's playing. Hey, Chris,

808
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: what are you looking for from Dabo to set the

809
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: Josh Free said, you want him to give him? What

810
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: are you looking for there? Well? I mean, well, I'm

811
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: just I'm happy that, you know, because the last two games,

812
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, John's just running, He's just running. I'm

813
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: glad that Josh actually was standing in the pocket the

814
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: pass instead of running. And you know, even when he

815
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: has been off, he's in the right direction and he's

816
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: looking for more than one read and a lot of

817
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: times not to talk about tight rock and he's gone.

818
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: But he didn't even do that. He looked one direction.

819
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: So I like what John's doing right now, so know why,

820
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: And I like what Dabele's doing with him too. You know,

821
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: the Bills lead the league. Josh Hammon leads the league

822
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: rather in average length of target. It's like eleven yards

823
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: per target. Every time he throws, his target is eleven

824
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: yards away. That's the highest number in the league. They're

825
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: among the league leaders in average length of completions. They're

826
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: they're throwing a deep they're attacking. It's not a you

827
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: had the exact opposite on the other side of the

828
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 1: ball yesterday. The Lions were more of an old fashioned

829
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: West Coast short passing attack. The Bills are not that Steve.

830
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: They're throwing Yeah, you think about it. Josh Allen was

831
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: thirteen of twenty six or two hundred and four yards.

832
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford was twenty two of twenty nine for two

833
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: hundred and eight yards. They had the same yardage with

834
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: nine more completions, So you know, they didn't take the

835
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: lid off the defense. In Detroit. They threw the ball

836
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: underneath all day. Josh Allen continually tried to go deep

837
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: and even when he wasn't successful, one of the plays that,

838
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: particularly the pass interference call, they got a good play

839
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: out of it. So that's there. They know they've got

840
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: a young quarterback who likes the deep ball and can

841
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: sling it. They know they know it puts a lot

842
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: of pressure on the defense to have to guard every

843
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: corner of the field behind him. They're gonna have to

844
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: drop out of there, and I think they're using that,

845
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: I think to help them try and open up the

846
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: run game a little bit by pulling those defenders out

847
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: of the box. No, and there's a lot of space.

848
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: They've got a cover back there with guys running around,

849
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: so they're doing it. It's purposeful and I think it's

850
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: very telling that Matt Stafford and Josh Allen threw for

851
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: almost identical yardage yesterday. Yeah, but so many fewer attempts.

852
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: But right, yeah, with way fewer attempts by Josh. Yeah, Hey,

853
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Bills and the lines yesterday. We

854

Speaker 1: on with that as the hour moves along. Coming up now, though,

861
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: time to hear what the Bills themselves had to say

862
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: about their victory yesterday. We were there in the locker room.

863
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: Time now for Around the Locker Room, presented by Units

866
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: the locker room. Quarterback Josh Allen on Robert Foster's emergence

867
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo offense. In practice, he's always on top

868
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: of the speech arts. You know, he's stream the competitive

869
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, obviously being an undrafted rookie free agent, and

870
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: he's got a lot to proven on last four weeks

871
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: of kind of shown what he's capable of. I know that.

872
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: Um you know, early on in the year he wasn't

873
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: making you know, these types of plays. But he's put

874
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: his head down, he's went to work. Um, I mean one,

875
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: he's a great story too. He's I love the kid.

876
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: He works as tell off. He gives me everything he's

877
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: gotten practice and then in the game she produces. Head

878
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott, I'm johnsh Avons passing in the Lions game.

879
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: I thought there was some he made some big plays.

880
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: Um you know the growth that I saw was at

881
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: times he threw it away when he needed to throw

882
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: it away, and and um, you know, big, big time

883
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: throw to Robert there to pull us, to bring us

884
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: from behind, and um, you know they come back the

885
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: way the team came back. They hung in there all game.

886
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: Guys were going down. The next guy stepped up, was

887
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: on phase, went in, did a great job, and and

888
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: then Josh kept this song on point with the offense,

889
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: made a big play and Robert m Robert scored. So

890
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: a good team win. Wide receiver Robert Foster on this

891
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: words quarter touchdown. It was a perfect path and I mean,

892
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: that's what that's been practices for. You know, we practiced

893
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: that over and over and over again, and we came

894
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 1: down within the game and it played a big fact

895
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: safety Jordan Poyer, the Buffalo defense got critical stops. That's

896
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: pretty satisfying. It's a big as a huge topic this

897
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: week too. You know, it's just got to find a

898
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: way to win when the games, when the games in

899
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: the line, and uh, you know, I think that says

900
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: a lot about this team where from our experience last

901
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: week and being in almost the same situation and able

902
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: to you know, create some good stops and for their

903
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: offense back in the field the way the game for

904
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: US fighting backer Lorenzo Alexander, who filled several roles for

905
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense. That's kind of been my niche my

906
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: entire career, and that's probably why of the reasons why

907
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: I've never been a starter for the most part. To

908
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: hear of Blake, just being ah, um, you know, jack

909
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: of all trade type the guy, and that's why I've

910
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: been in the least fourteen years and that's kind of

911
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: what my role is and just trying to do it

912
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: to my bestess ability and had good coaching obviously, when

913
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: we got players around your playmaker, it definitely makes it

914
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: easier for me. Safety might go hide, and the importance

915
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: of getting to win against the Lions obviously right out

916
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: the playoff race. But we're still gonna go to work

917
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: every day and compete half fun. We feel like, you know,

918
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,279

919
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: from the top down. You know, he related a message

920
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: to everybody else, just go out there, half fun. We're

921
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: a good football team or making progress. You know, the

922
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: scoreboard isn't indicating it, but eventually it will. And we

923
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: knew that. You know, these last three games, we gotta

924
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: try to get on a roll for the future. All

925
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: about the future. There you go around the locker room,

926

933
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: the Redskins, I don't want to get too far into it.

934
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: But the Redskins are on their fourth quarterback and the

935
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fans can related and their fourth quarterback. Like

936
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,720

Speaker 1: the Jets, Josh Johnson came in and for the Washington

953
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: Live from One Bills Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio. One

954
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: Bills Live comes here from one Bill's Drive, John Murphy,

955
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tansker. Players got a victory Monday at off hard

956
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: at work though, the folks in the stadium cleaning up

957
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: after yesterday's game. Great crowd yesterday, fifty nine thousand the

958
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: announced attendance. As I said several times on the radio broadcast, Steve,

959
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: the diehards were here yesterday, the people who really care

960
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: and really are interested in what it seems going to

961
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: look like next years, including this year. It was a

962
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: fun atmosphere to be there for that victory and went

963
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: down to the wire. As you know, early in the

964
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: season we didn't have too many games that went down

965
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: to the wire. No, No. And it's interesting too because

966
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: you hear people on Twitter and social media and out

967
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: about in the in the media and everything you read

968
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: that they're kind of quietly clapping their hands to themselves

969
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: about what this team might look like next year, about

970
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: the development of Josh Allen and the money they've got

971
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: to spend in free agency and ten draft picks. There's

972
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: a lot to be excited about yesterday being one of them.

973
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: I do think it was a sign that the culture

974
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: is what you're hoping it would be. Now they've they've

975
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 1: been in the last month with Josh Allen at the Helm.

976
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: They're not getting blown out by anybody, you know, doesn't

977
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: seem like, as you mentioned that the Patriot game got

978
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: away from him because they know the Patriots scored late

979
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 1: and it looked a little worse than it was. I thought,

980
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, this is a this is a team that's

981
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 1: hard to beat all of a sudden, particularly with Josh

982
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: playing quarterback, and their ability to kind of hit you

983
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: with a big play whenever they think about it. So

984
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are sitting up in

985
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: their chairs looking closer at the Bills and what they

986
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: might turn into. Well, you did not see the Bills yesterday.

987
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: You watched the course on video. You had Jacksonville in Washington,

988
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: and that's where you get to your sideline sounds right,

989
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: That's correct, and in fact US sites and sidelines sounds

990
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: from the official from WOW sidelines sounds brought to you

991
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: by Bose, the official headphones of the Buffalo Bills. I

992
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: got home late last night kind of cut me some slack,

993
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: so I was in Jacksonville yesterday and the Washington Redskins

994
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: we just mentioned before we went to the break this

995
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: last segment, Josh Johnson, who is on in his twelfth

996
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: organization playing for his twelfth NFL team. Yesterday, the Washington

997
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: Redskins Josh Johnson beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in Jacksonville. He

998
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: is the fourth starting quarterback that the Washington Redskins have

999
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: had under center this season. They started with Alex Smith

1000
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: and he also all of you football fans saw when

1001
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: it happened to Alex Smith that gruesome leg broke that

1002
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: he got against the Houston Texans, and then they brought

1003
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: in Colton McCoy same thing. He got rolled up on

1004
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: and he broke his leg. So they went out. When

1005
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: Alex Smith went down, they brought in Josh Johnson and

1006
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez. They thought Sanchez would be a better fit

1007
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: because he had some more experience with the coaching staffs,

1008
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: a little more experienced, more recent experience than Josh Johnson did.

1009
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: And then Mark Sanchez, Colton McCoy went down with his

1010
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: broken leg. They have to bring another backup in. So

1011
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: it's got to be Josh Johnson and Mark Sanchez. Low

1012
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: and behold plays like Mark Sanchez, they bench him, They

1013
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: bench him and bring Josh Johnson late last week and

1014
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: he played a little bit last weekend and you know,

1015
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: and made some plays. And then he had an longer

1016
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: week because of the Thursday night game. He had a

1017
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: longer week to prepare to get ready. They brought him in,

1018
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: played him against Jacksonville, and he put it together enough

1019
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: so that they put a couple of late game drives together.

1020
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: And Josh Johnson gets his first game as an NFL starter,

1021
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: ten years in the league, twelve teams later. Uh, it was.

1022
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: It was quite a moment for that game, first win

1023
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: and that was and that was that was big. So

1024
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: it was good for him. Josh Johnson. That's sideline sounds

1025
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: from Bows the official headphones of the Buffalo Bill. It

1026
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: was pretty cool to see it wasn't Josh Johnson in them.

1027
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: He was the first quarterback protected by the San Diego Fleet.

1028
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: He was the first guy mentioned in that draft. Uh,

1029
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: he was gonna play for the San Diego Fleet. He's

1030
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: from an He's an Oakland guy played for he was Uh,

1031
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, he was out working out with high school

1032
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: kids last two weeks ago and he ends up be

1033
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: starting for the Skins and name wins the game. Amazing,

1034
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: it really is. It's amazing what you got coming up

1035

Speaker 1: second in a row, and Tom Brady through a questionable interception.

1067
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: Patriots trailing fourteen to ten midway through the fourth Brady

1068
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: got pressured. He did towards the general direction of Rob

1069
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 1: Gronkowski and Julian Leman, but it was intercepted by Steelers

1070
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: corner Joe Hayden. Brady says he was trying to throw

1071
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: the ball away, so they didn't want to take the sack.

1072
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: He put the owners on himself. He says that should

1073
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: not happen for the third straight game coming out of

1074
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: there by. The Rams offense, which was humming along earlier

1075
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: this season, is playing like an average team right now.

1076
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: Jared goffin company with four hundred thirteen total yards and

1077
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 1: last night's surprising loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Rams

1078
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: four for twelve on third downs in that game, and

1079
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: they lost to the Eagles last night. Dak Prescott and

1080
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys shut out yesterday. Prescott last time the

1081
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys were shout out in the game. Prescott was just

1082
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: ten years old. The Indianapolis Colts beat him twenty three

1083
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: to nothing yesterday in Indie. The Dallas Cowboys now stumbling

1084
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: a bit. Tonight Monday Night Football the Saints and the

1085
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. That

1086
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: game kicks off tonight at eight fifteen pm. The New

1087
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints with their eleven and two record up against Carolina,

1088
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: who was six and seven. Hockey Savers captain Jack Eichels

1089
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: been named the NHL's third Star for the week that

1090
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 1: ended yesterday, Washington's Alexovetskan named the first Star. Winnipeg's Mark

1091
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: Chiefly named the second Star. I'd go five goals, four insists,

1092
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: as the Savers went three oh and one last week

1093
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: the NHL's third Star. That's the update from One Bill's Drive,

1094
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker moving into our two of

1095
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: our show and happy to have Chris Brown Bills Inside

1096
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: from Buffalo bills dot Com alongside for the next several minutes.

1097
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Chris, Thanks for joining us. How are you.

1098
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, doing well. It's a good Monday. It

1099
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: is a good monday when they win, right and any

1100
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: I was saying to Steve, it's a win that had

1101
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, wasn't the greatest game in the NFL calendar

1102
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: going in certainly wasn't played, you know, as the greatest

1103
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: game of the week. But it was an important win

1104
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: I think for team chemistry and for the character of

1105
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: this Spills team. To get all those contributions from all

1106
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: of those guys, many of them undrafted rookie free agents.

1107
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: I think it was a gritty, gutty win for this team,

1108
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: which you know, they all count the wins count, but

1109
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: I thought that one was pretty important. Yeah, you don't

1110
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: want to see your team running for the bus this

1111
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: time of the year, even if you know playoffs are

1112
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: not part of the equation anymore, and they're fighting for

1113
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: coach McDermott, and there's something to be said for that,

1114
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: even in games that maybe some my view is meaningless

1115
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: because there's no carrot at the end of the stick.

1116
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 1: Now these means something to those players. And I found

1117
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: it interesting that, you know, some of the players after

1118
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: the game, we're talking about building for twenty nineteen here

1119
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: in this last month of the season. So it's clear

1120
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: they have their eyes, you know, on the future as well,

1121
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: and they know playing well now will serve them, you know,

1122
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: come next fall. Wells also says something about the depth

1123
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: of the roster. They've already built their ability to go

1124
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: out and find guys who are quality backups to guys.

1125
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: Their depth is also better than the Lions, and the

1126
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: Lions came in they weren't one hundred percent. They were

1127
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: nicked up all over the place. Yeah, it just it

1128
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: shows that some of the things not only on the

1129
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: field are going well, but also the guys that they're

1130
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: they've got us pro scouts and free agent scouts and

1131
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: all that stuff's working well as well. Yeah, I mean

1132
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: it's a battle of attrition, and I think the good

1133
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: thing for the Bills is a good portion of the

1134
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: guys that are on the active roster now spent almost

1135
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: the balance of the season on the practice squad. I mean,

1136
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace was a practice squad guy from week one,

1137
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: Corey's Hobson practice squad guy from week one. Robert Foster was, yeah,

1138
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: Keith Ford. Robert Foster was on the roster, then on

1139
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: the practice squad. So a lot of these young guys

1140
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: that they've had to turn to here in the latter

1141
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: stages of the season have been with the team. They're

1142
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: not just right in the door trying to play catchup.

1143
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: And I think that helps a player, you know, that's

1144
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: young and inexperienced, to feel just a little bit more

1145
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: comfortable out there, because not only are they familiar with

1146
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: the scheme, but they're familiar with the players around them

1147
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: as well. One of the constant things in this, you know,

1148
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 1: kind of a difficult Bill season has been defense, Chris

1149
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: and they are number two overall in defensive rankings right

1150
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: now based on yards allowed per game, but to give up.

1151
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: You know, I know, the lines are not an offensive

1152
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: juggernaut and they struggled getting touchdowns, but Bills gave up

1153
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: thirteen points to them. I mean, in the defense has

1154
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: been pretty solid throughout most of the season, other than

1155
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: the early couple of games. They got blown out badly

1156
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but they've kind of locked in defensively.

1157
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: Even with backups guys, you know, Milano's out, Taren Johnson

1158
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: is out. Even with the backups playing, they still are

1159
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: a pretty solid defensive team. It's hard not to be

1160
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: impressed by the fact that two twenty one mark of

1161
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: the second quarter, you know, they go seven possessions. The

1162
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: Lions got seven possessions from the two twenty one mark

1163
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:28,959
Speaker 1: of the second quarter. At the end of the game,

1164
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: and the Bill's defense forces six punts in a missfield goal.

1165
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: That's pretty good work, you know. And if you look

1166
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: at those six punt drives that the Lions had, I

1167
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: believe it was twenty five plays for ninety one yards.

1168
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: I mean, that's getting the job done as far as

1169
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: i'm and that's without any turnovers. Yeah, that's the thing

1170
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 1: thing about that. I was gonna say this it's they're

1171
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: not getting a bunch of sacks. They're not getting they're

1172
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: not getting any turnovers. They're not you know, and and

1173
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: they're not like the spectacular, smothering, big play, huge defense.

1174
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: They're just you just can't move the ball on them. Yeah,

1175
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: I mean they're really tough to get the ball down

1176
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: the field on and break anything big. Yeah. And Stafford

1177
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: tipped his hat to the Bill's defense after the game yesterday.

1178
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, he said, it's a good unit. They know

1179
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: how to stop the run, they know how to you know,

1180
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: not give up anything deep for the most part. Now,

1181
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: Trey White had his struggles yesterday with Kenny Gallady to

1182
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 1: a certain extent, but none of them proved to be backbreaking.

1183
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 1: You know, there was one drive I think where Galladay

1184
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: had two big plays in one drive. I think that

1185
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: was the early touchdown drive, the first touchdown that the

1186
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: Lions had scored. And then after that he did make

1187
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: a play here or there and proved to be the

1188
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: biggest headache for Buffalo's defense, but they didn't let it

1189
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: impact the scoreboard all that much. So you know, he

1190
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: ends up with a nice stat line at the end

1191
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: of the game. I think he had almost a buck

1192
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: and a half receiving, So I mean, he certainly had

1193
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: a day, but at the expense of the outcome of

1194
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: the game for the Bill, So I think that was important.

1195
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: Speaking of Gotta Day versus Tredavious White, somebody asked me

1196
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 1: today struggle for Trevious White, and I thought, you know,

1197
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: when you look at the catches Gotta Day was making, Um,

1198
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: they were really good catches, and he was going after

1199
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: the passes that were way up high, and that's not

1200
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: going to be a strength for a Tredevious White. I

1201
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: think Turndavious was a pretty good position on most of

1202
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: Gottaday's work yesterday when he was up against him. What

1203
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: do you think, Chris, Yeah, I mean this is the

1204
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: this is the first time I want to say this

1205
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: season that he's gone up against a guy of this size.

1206
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think with a quarterback who can well,

1207
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: yea with a very very good quarterback. And you know,

1208
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: Gota Day, the scouting report on him coming out of

1209
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: college was great in the air, great in traffic. You know,

1210
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: he's a physical guy. He's not just six four. He

1211
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: plays big. Someone would argue he plays even bigger than

1212
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: six four. Um, you know in Trey is five eleven

1213
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's not going to twenty, so

1214
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think he gets in those jump ball battles.

1215
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: In man coverage, it's it's a challenge for a player

1216
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: like that because he's got the reach on you and

1217
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: Stafford's putting it where it needs to be. And there

1218
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: were a couple of plays, I mean, you gotta say,

1219
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: good coverage, better catch is what happened on probably three

1220
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: of them. And you think about that that catch you

1221
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: had against Wallace. Were they that Wallace had a hand

1222
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: on it and it couldn't couldn't quite pull it off

1223
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: his shoulder pad and Galladay just grabbed it off his

1224
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: shoulder came down with a contested ball. That was I mean,

1225
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: he's there number one going forward, and I think we're

1226
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: starting to see why they felt comfortable trading Golden Chain

1227
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia with Chris Brown Bills inside at Buffalo Bills

1228
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: dot Com. Let's take a few phone calls. Maybe you

1229
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: want to nominate your MVP. Chris. Did you see our

1230
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: Twitter poll? Do you want to get in on that?

1231
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: I did not see it. Sorry, I was busy got

1232
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 1: work to do our Twitter poll today. He got some

1233
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 1: work to do. I'm not laughing at you, I'm saying him,

1234
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,240
Speaker 1: he's laughing at it. He's Chris is maybe the biggest

1235
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: busiest guy in the building. I don't know. I forgot

1236
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: that far. You got some coaches at work sixteen hour days.

1237
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, outside on this end of the building,

1238
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: we'll put it the right, um, Twitter poles pay for us.

1239
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: Somebody worked hard to put this Twitter pole together. Who's

1240
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's MVP? I think it was my idea. By

1241
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: the way, who's the Bill's MVP? Against the Lions on Sunday?

1242
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: What do you credit here? We're going to debate. We'll

1243
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,479
Speaker 1: we'll share the debate we had with the Twitter poles

1244
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 1: Twitter pole. Who's the hardest working man on the show?

1245
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: Who was the Bills MVP and the win MVP and

1246
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: the Winter of the Lions. So far, and with more

1247
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: than eight hundred votes in so far, fifty two percent

1248
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: of the respondents say Josh Allen, thirty percent say Robert Foster,

1249
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: twelve percent say Jordan Poyer, six percent say Lorenzo Alexander.

1250
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: Would you care to weigh in on any of that, Chris,

1251
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: maybe you get another one in mind. I'm probably going

1252
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: with Foster. Um the guy had the three biggest plays

1253
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: in the passing game for the Bills and also was

1254
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: responsible for the longest yardage play of the game, the

1255
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: forty three yard pass interference call that led to a touchdown.

1256
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: So in a game in a league that's largely decided

1257
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: by big plays, he had the three biggest ones and

1258
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: then accounted for the biggest penalty assessed against the Lions.

1259
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you add it all up, and you're talking

1260
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: about one hundred and fifty yards and a touchdown. So

1261
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: I'll go with Foster. A touchdown in a game where

1262
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: a game winning touchdown twenty seven points were scored by

1263
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: eight both teams combined. Yeah, the touchdowns were enormous. I

1264
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: mean he was he was a difference maker out there,

1265
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: and Galladay, you know, to his credit, was a difference

1266
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: maker on the other side. But for whatever reason, his

1267
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty seven receiving yards just didn't have

1268
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: the same impact it felt like Foster had. I've been

1269
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: fascinated this year watching Robert Foster's progression from a pure

1270
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: speed guy, a flyer down this field. Even in his

1271
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, his first preseason appearance right in the second

1272
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: half of the first preseason game, just flying down the field,

1273
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: couldn't catch it, couldn't stay and bounce. He had some

1274
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: of that early on, but his progression from that to

1275
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: losing the spot on the roster for a little while,

1276
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: the coming back and developing is a kind of a

1277
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: complete at least a more complete receiver now right. He

1278
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,439
Speaker 1: runs routes, seems to run him well. He runs after

1279
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: the catch, using his speed and some other traits that

1280
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: he has. I've been really riveted by his progression, Chris.

1281
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,919
Speaker 1: You don't often see a guy get this good, this fast,

1282
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: and I think you've seen it with Robert fo I

1283
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: know when we were talking about this on the Monday

1284
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: Morning Breakdown show on our social media channels this morning

1285
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: that I kind of referenced how very often we've seen

1286
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: a lot of talent, physically gifted, undrafted players come through

1287
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: the doors here over the years, and very few of

1288
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: them get it and find a way to maximize their

1289
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: tools to find a niche or a role in the league.

1290
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: And you know, we mentioned a couple of guys over

1291
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: the years that did successfully do that, like Jason Peters,

1292
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: who my god, is still playing at a ridiculous level

1293
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and Jabari career who carved out a nice

1294
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: career for himself and get a Super Bowl ring with

1295
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Robert Foster, to me, is on that track

1296
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: where he's getting out what he's putting in. When he

1297
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: was here in the spring, practice is over, whether they

1298
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: were watching practice film, whatever they were doing during OTAs

1299
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: in mini camp. After everybody was done with that, he

1300
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: would go upstairs and spend time with coach Rubisky, with

1301
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: coach Dabele on the nuances of the route assignments that

1302
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: he would have to run. It didn't all come together

1303
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: in his first go round on the roster. In the

1304
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: first couple of months of the season, he gets released

1305
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: because he's not making the progress. And then he has

1306
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: said in recent weeks, I needed to get cut. So

1307
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: despite all that extra work, something just wasn't materializing there

1308
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: for him. Whether it was in his head or you know,

1309
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: getting choked up on the field, I don't or what

1310
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: it was, but that happened. The wake up call takes

1311
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: place and he's a different player. He's just a different

1312
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: player now and it's onward and upward, all right. I

1313
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: want to ask you you saw the Twitter pull about

1314
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: who's the MVP, and I want to get read it

1315
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: to something off the tweet. She can get your thoughts

1316
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, because this is coming out of this

1317
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: game about Josh Allen. It's Josh played his best game

1318
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: of the year. Not the best statistical game, but the

1319
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: best overall performance. Less running, better touch on passes, throw

1320
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: the ball away to live another down. There was a

1321
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: big step forward. You agree with that's been kind of

1322
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: a I didn't see the game, and I watched it.

1323
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: I watched it twice last night. Do you agree with

1324
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: the fact that I like what I saw from though

1325
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't statistically, I thought it was his best decision

1326
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: making game. Yeah, okay, he hung in the pocket a

1327
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: little bit longer when he could. The Lions are a

1328
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: defense that often drops eight into coverage, and that was

1329
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: their approach with Alan yesterday. So they had a spy

1330
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: on him almost full time, had seven behind that guy,

1331
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: trying to flood the passing lanes to force him into

1332
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: a mistake, and we wisely saw him choose the check

1333
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: down more often than I think I've seen him in

1334
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: previous weeks, and in plays that were broken. He threw

1335
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 1: the ball away twice that I can remember specifically, including

1336
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: one play that mirrored the play the week before that

1337
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: he threw a pick on against the Jets, same exact play,

1338
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: rolling to his right, hanging trying to stay in bounce

1339
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: for an extra split second to maybe find somebody come

1340
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: free late down the field, and instead he just threw

1341
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: it away lived for another play, and I want to

1342
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: say they scored on that drive on the one that

1343
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: he threw away for sure. So just from a decision

1344
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: making standpoint, as the guy with the ball in his

1345
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: hands every single snap, I thought it was one of

1346
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: his strongest decision making games where no bad mistakes. I

1347
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: think the only one was on that boxed read option

1348
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: play in the red zone. That's probably the only thing

1349
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: that stands out for me, as he's trying to pull

1350
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: it out too late and Keith's like, let me go,

1351
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: and you know, the thing was a mess. That's the

1352
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: only I think on his day yesterday. Let's take you

1353
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: call here from a Joe on the line with us. Hello, Joe,

1354

Speaker 1: you're on the air. Go ahead, Hi guys, Well you

1355
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: answered all my questions. Okay, thanks for calling No go ahead, Joe.

1356
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with We're gonna besides Foster, We're

1357
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna go with Josh because I think now I like

1358
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: I let him see him staying in the pocket, and

1359
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: hopefully we have a that'll be the recipe for next week.

1360
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: And my other big thing, my wife and I turned

1361
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: the volume down because we're so tired of that irritating

1362
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: train horn. Get rid of that thing. Talk to you later. Okay,

1363
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: you get on that, Chris. Why have we had nothing

1364
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to do with No, I've got nothing to do with it.

1365
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: That's funny. We don't hear a lot of complaints about that. Yeah,

1366
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: that's I can I can hear I can hear it,

1367
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: but I'm behind the press box flash, so I'm kind

1368
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: of sheltered from that, which kind of bothers me a

1369
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: little bit, because you can't really feel the atmosphere in

1370
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: the stadium when the game's going on. So we have

1371
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: the windows a little in radio land, it's a little sterile.

1372
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of a sterilized kind of game for you sometimes.

1373
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean you can see people jumping up and down

1374
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: obviously and getting excited and whatnot, but and there's a dull,

1375
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: muted roar to the crowd that you can get through

1376
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: the glass, but it's it's not the same. No, it's

1377
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: not the same. Here's I've been on the line with us. Hello,

1378
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: I haven't go ahead, Hey guys, how are you doing today? Okay,

1379
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: I have a hut. I have a comment, and I

1380
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: also have two questions. Go ahead. So the first comment

1381
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: is that the first I want to vote for Lorenzo

1382
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Alexander as the MVP yesterday's game. Okay, so that he

1383
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: he he's an outstanding guy. I hope I hope that

1384
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: the Bill is find some way to be able to

1385
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: keep them and allow of them to finish his career

1386
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: as a Bill. One of the things that I've noticed

1387
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: about Lonzo Alexander this year is that he's even has

1388
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: a veteran, he has gotten better. He's not just a

1389
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: pass rush guy, but he's an also covered guy who

1390
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 1: plays special team. He's a team captain, he cares about

1391
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: the other players, and he's a guy. I think the

1392
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: Bills should what it should want to keep around and

1393
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: allow him to finish his career here in Buffalo. And

1394
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: I know they have to drive this eventually replacement, but

1395
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: I hope that they're able to allow him to finish

1396
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: his um his tenure here also, Um the question, I

1397
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: have two questions for you guys. So the first question is,

1398
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: does anyone know what the exchange between Child's Clay and

1399
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 1: UH and coach mcdvermot was about on the sideline? UM,

1400
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: I know when Clay is healthy, like Steve said, he

1401
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: is a quality tight end. I do. I do not

1402
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: feel that come is um number one tight end, just

1403
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: as I feel Day Jones as a number one receiver.

1404
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: James Za Jones seems to be sliding back improvement that

1405
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: he's out a number one. And so my second question

1406
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: is what receiver and what tight end? And let's come

1407
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: to draft. You think my fifth fifth the Bills a

1408
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: scheme Okaane like going on there? I mean I did

1409
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: I saw from the radio Boothy uh quick and UH

1410
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 1: passionate exchange between your Clay and I don't know what

1411
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: it was about. It was the first play of the game,

1412
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 1: after the first play, so I mean, basically, this is

1413
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: what we have to go on. First play happens, Jason

1414
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Krum is sent in to sub Clay out, and we

1415
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: saw Clay kind of motioning to Crum like what are

1416
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: you doing here? And then Creum said you better get

1417
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: out of the game. Or whoever, what game the thumb

1418
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: and so Clay run goes to the sidelines and that's

1419
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: when the exchange occurs. I mean, everybody can speculate all

1420
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: they want as to what happened there. Maybe coach mcdermottill

1421
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: get asked about it this afternoon in terms of what

1422
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: went down there. But um, we've seen players get taken

1423
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: off the field when assignments aren't executed or when uh,

1424
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, proper technique is not utilized in a way.

1425
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to happen after one play,

1426
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going on there. We'll have

1427
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: to get some some light shed on that because we're

1428
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: all just speculating. I haven't. I haven't. First point he

1429
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: made was about Lorenzo. Good point, yeah, And I think

1430
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to fast forward. There's two

1431
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: games left. Want to fast forward to the decision time

1432
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: that'll come with Lorenzo and Kyle Williams too, who's had

1433
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: good moments this year, Chris, a couple of thirty five

1434
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: year old Vets who contribute a lot to this team

1435
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: and certainly contribute a great deal to the culture of

1436
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: this team. That'll be a very interesting decision by the

1437
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: front office here what they want to do, right And

1438
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned it this morning. I mean, Lorenzo

1439
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: played nine of the defensive snaps yesterday and also played

1440
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: after snaps on special teams, which is a lot higher

1441
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: than they normally utilize him. But they kind of had

1442
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: to because he was filling Milano's role in the base

1443
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: package and then was still part of the pass rush

1444
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: package up on the line of scrimmage as usual, and

1445
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: then he was doing some special teams as well, So

1446
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: it was a heavy workload for him yesterday. And you know,

1447
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: you have to give credit to coach Frazier for the

1448
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: way in which he has paced Kyle Williams and Lorenzo

1449
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Alexandra through the course of this season, because by doing that,

1450
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: I think they're getting more out of them over the

1451
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: course of sixteen games instead of shooting your wad for

1452
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: the first five or six games and then have these

1453
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: two guys dragging at the end of the year. Yeah,

1454
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you as well, what do

1455
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: you you're about Lorenzo going forward his last year of

1456
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: his contract. Obviously, from way he's played in the way

1457
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: they managed his snaps, he has been really productive. Yeah,

1458
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: he could still play. Yeah, So here's the thing. If

1459
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: if he's not playing for Buffalo, he's gonna play for somebody.

1460
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: So I think it comes down to the number, right,

1461
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it comes down to the Bills, because there's

1462
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: no question they'll be able to find a role for

1463
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: him as a leader on this team, as a as

1464
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: a culture fit, as a mentor, as all the things

1465
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: you you wrap your mind around when you talk about

1466
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: what Sean mcdermmo wants out of his guys. Yeah, I

1467
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: mean I think I think there are some other things

1468
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: that have moved up the priority list for Lorenzo. You know,

1469
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: I think he's for the most part, just based on

1470
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 1: how much time he's spent in the league. He's made

1471
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,560
Speaker 1: his money, maybe not as much as most guys, but

1472
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: he's made his money to have a comfortable living. And

1473
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: I think that one thing that sits high on the

1474
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 1: priority list for him is this is where he's had

1475
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: his most personal success as a player in this league. Yes,

1476
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: he made the Pro Bowl as a special teamer years ago,

1477
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 1: I believe it was in Washington, but here is where

1478
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,560
Speaker 1: he found a defined role in a defense instead of

1479
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: being a jack of all trades, type, playing a multitude

1480
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: of places and a different assignment every week. He found

1481
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: a role here, was able to focus on that single

1482
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,600
Speaker 1: role and made a Pro Bowl because of it. And

1483
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,839
Speaker 1: I think he likes his role here from a leadership

1484
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: perspective as well. I think he likes passing it on

1485
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: and working with younger guys. And we don't know what

1486
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,759
Speaker 1: the situation is with Kyle, but we know he loves

1487
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: playing with him, So I think all of these things

1488
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: count a lot. And he likes his head coach, so

1489
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: I think all of those things rolled together if he

1490
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: had his druthers. He wants to be back here first

1491
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 1: and foremost. I think the Bills do want him back.

1492
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams is still a question mark for next year.

1493
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: You don't know. And Lorenzo did say in a radio

1494
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: interview on this station. I believe it was on Howard

1495
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: Simon Show last week that he is interested in playing

1496
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: another season here too. Yeah, yeah, I know, he said.

1497
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I heard him in an interview last week when I

1498
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: was driving into work, so you know, you know that's

1499
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 1: on the table from his side, and I would tend

1500
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 1: to think that Brandon Bean and Coach McDermott with the

1501
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: production he is still putting up. Would welcome him back

1502
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 1: for another season, And you know, you have to hope

1503
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: that the two sides can get together and make it

1504
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: work because the value is there for both sides in

1505
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: my estimation anyway, Yeah, what do you think about it?

1506
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how much more than just a linebacker is he?

1507
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: I mean he is. I mean, he's a later, he's

1508
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: a mentor, he's a you know, he's a voice. Um.

1509
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean, look at him yesterday. Look at him yesterday.

1510
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: I mean start regular radio guests too. Him and the radio.

1511
01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: What about the radio be self serving? But he does. Yeah,

1512
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: he seems so much more important than just you know,

1513
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: the snaps. He takes on as linebacker and a special

1514
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: teams too, and he flashes out there. I mean, right,

1515
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: We're in week fifteen and it's him and Shack who

1516
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: flashed and really spearheaded the effort. You know. I know,

1517
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Porter had a great game and led the team

1518
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: in tackles and made some key plays at the very

1519
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: end of that game on the last possession by Detroit.

1520
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 1: But you look at the end, I mean, Shack and

1521
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: Lorenzo they combined for four quarterback hits on a day

1522
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: where they got no sacks. They combined for four quarterback hits,

1523
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: three tackles for loss, and a pair of pass breakups.

1524
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean Lorenzo is full extension. He looks like a

1525
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: soccer goalkeeper trying to make a safe He almost had

1526
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 1: a pick and then when you know it just goes

1527
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,480
Speaker 1: as a PBu. But I mean he is full extension,

1528
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 1: like twenty yards down field and coverage, making plays that

1529
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: you're not expecting a thirty five year old to make. Hey,

1530
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 1: Chris Um, what are you gonna do for running backs

1531
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: against New England? I heard coach McDermot offer the job

1532
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: to sell Mariana Rochester yesterday. I'm not on board with that.

1533
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 1: I'm not either nothing against you, Sal, but I don't

1534
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do. We don't know yet about

1535
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I would anticipate that Leshaun and Ivory are okay,

1536
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: and I think sitting this past Sunday probably served them

1537
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: very well, at least in terms of their availability for

1538
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:22,560
Speaker 1: this coming week. In hearing Leshaw and talk about his hamstring,

1539
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: he never said the word pull. He said tightness in

1540
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 1: his hamstring and could not get it loose. So hopefully

1541
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: that means that and Let's not forget he did practice

1542
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: on a limited basis last week at the end of

1543
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,759
Speaker 1: the week, so it's not like he was completely shelved

1544
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:45,720
Speaker 1: and unable to do anything. So my sense of it,

1545
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: and this is just us trying to read the tea

1546
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: leaves here, my sense of it is it wasn't a

1547
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: serious injury when it cropped up early in the game

1548
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: against the Jets. He's taken the proper rest, done the

1549
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 1: proper rehab. I would be optimistic that he's going to

1550
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: be able to practice this week get back on the field.

1551
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: And Ivory too. I mean, another guy that was practicing

1552
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 1: last week. Shoulders certainly different than a hamstring, especially with

1553
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: the running style that Ivory brings to the table. So

1554
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to really gauge that you're going to expect

1555
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 1: him to practice this week because the contacts limited in

1556
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: the practice setting is opposed to a game. So I

1557
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: think you would hope those two are available, and I

1558
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: would be optimistic that at least one of them is

1559
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: going to be able to go. And then you have

1560
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: key Ford as your two. What are you got coming

1561
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 1: up on the website Buffalo Bills that Tom you got

1562
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: McDermott talking at four o'clock today, right, Yeah, and we

1563
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: kind of profiled the connection and how there's this matter

1564
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: of trust that exists between Josh and Robert Foster and

1565
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: how that's kind of manifested itself here. I think a

1566
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: lot of people if you guessed who was going to

1567
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: be the best combination in the passing game this year,

1568
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people would have picked Josh Allen. I

1569
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: don't know if there's anybody would have picked Robert Foster.

1570
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: And so we kind of outline how that manifested itself

1571
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: over the course of this season between those two guys,

1572
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: because it's really developing into a special connection that's not

1573
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 1: only good for the passing game, but fun for the

1574
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: fans to watch. I mean, he's the entertainment right now,

1575
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: him and Josh are they not? They are? They are

1576
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: the gate attraction, those two guys. So we kind of

1577
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: highlight that a little bit, kind of go through some

1578
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts around the AFC East, and then obviously

1579
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: we'll have coaches Quick Hits piece and then a stats

1580
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: column tomorrow, as we do on every Tuesday, you get

1581
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 1: on the conference call with the posing coach on Wednesday

1582
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: with well Belichick doesn't on Tuesday, so we'll be we'll

1583
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: be on the call, yeah, tomorrow afternoon. I believe I

1584
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 1: want to say it's one forty five or something, just curious.

1585
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: It's got to be open ended. You can't ask a

1586
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 1: direct question because you get a one word answer. So

1587
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: you really have to craft it carefully with coach Belichick

1588
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 1: if you want a quality answer, because he'll he'll duck, dodge, dive,

1589
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: and weave. I mean, that's the guy. They should have

1590
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: put him dodgeball for sure, because he's he's good at it.

1591
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 1: There he thanks Chris, all right, you got it. Chris

1617
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 1: done that for a couple of weeks. There's a lot

1618
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: of pressure there, Fred, right, turning around right or after

1619
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: a game. That's a line on you. Yeah it is,

1620
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: but you know what, it's a lot of fun, you know,

1621
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:26,560
Speaker 1: especially to be able to talk to some of the

1622
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: fans right afterwards. Get there and put and you know,

1623
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: be able to talk about that on there, you know,

1624
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: always makes the show interesting. What's your what are your

1625
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: big impressions from the game you just saw Buffalo hosting Alliance?

1626
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: What sticks with you? I mean the number one thing

1627
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: I like. You know, I'm a big undrafted free agent fan,

1628
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, so when you see the guys that are

1629
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: out there, you know that weren't highly scouted and highly

1630
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 1: touted that's coming in and being able to make plays

1631
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: for the team when they go out there and do so.

1632
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: For me, that's a lot of fun to watch. So

1633
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: looking at you know, Foster and McKenzie and guys like

1634
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: those being key reasons that they were able to win

1635
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: the game and something fun for me to take part

1636
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: of him. I was thinking about that, Fred, when Keith

1637
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: Ford stepped under the field first NFL game, hen today

1638
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: just signed to the active roster a couple of days before.

1639
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:13,679
Speaker 1: Did you do you go back to your first NFL

1640
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 1: game When you see a guy like that get a

1641
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: chance like that in a game like yesterday's, I do

1642
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: you know? And uh, you know, it was something I

1643
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: wish I had his number because I would have reached

1644
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: out to him, and you know gave him any knowledge

1645
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: that I had and what it was like for me.

1646
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: But it sounds like he had some great people in

1647
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:30,640
Speaker 1: his ear, you know, talking to him, you know, just

1648
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 1: listening to his press conference yesterday. He was prepared for

1649
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: the moment. And I think one of the things he

1650
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: said best to me is, you know, he went back

1651
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: to what he was doing at practice. You know, he's

1652
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 1: going against guys like Lorenzo and Matt Milano. You know,

1653
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: all year they're preparing him for a game type situation.

1654
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 1: So I think as long as he did that, you know,

1655
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: he went back to what he was comfortable with and

1656
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, stayed in the tunnel a little bit just

1657
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 1: to compose himself. And whenever you do that, you know

1658
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: he was going to be ready for the moment. He

1659
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: probably thought going into that game, he probably he felt,

1660
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 1: I'll get in there for what maybe ten or fifteen snaps,

1661
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:04,600
Speaker 1: getting my feet wet. All of a sudden, He's the

1662
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 1: only running, healthy running back on the field for the

1663
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Bills on the roster, so things changed for him pretty

1664
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 1: dramatically yesterday. Yeah, And that was one of the things

1665
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: I used to priest the guys all the time when

1666
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 1: I was in the locker room. Uh, you're only one

1667
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: injury away. You know, you gotta be prepared like you're

1668
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: going in to be the starter no matter what, because

1669
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: you never know what's going to happen in the game,

1670
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,680
Speaker 1: and you always want to be able to go out

1671
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: there and help your teammates if your numbers called. And

1672
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: he was ready for it. So you know, I was

1673
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: extremely happy and proud of what he was able to

1674
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 1: go out there and do. It was fun to watch

1675
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: from one undrafted running back to another. I was happy

1676
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: with what he did for so well, Freddie. There was

1677
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of moving parts yesterday. A

1678
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: lot of guys, like you said, undrafted rookie free agents

1679
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 1: had to step up. They also had to do it

1680
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: in the midst of a game where they trailed by

1681
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and you know, they kind of hung in

1682
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 1: there and kind of found a rhythm, and later in

1683
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: the game is when the Bills really kind of made

1684
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: it happen. And then to get out into close the

1685
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: game out at the end of the game. What I mean,

1686
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: this is exactly the kind of game a lot of

1687
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: the players and coach have been saying. It showed their

1688
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: grit and showed the depth of their roster. That says

1689
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: a lot about where they're headed in the future, does

1690
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: it not. I would agree, you know, I think that.

1691
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:19,799
Speaker 1: You know, when you listen to some of the press conferences,

1692
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: those guys talked about, you know, being in a moment

1693
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: and playing for each other and one guy goes out,

1694
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: we got to carry that guy. And when you have

1695
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,759
Speaker 1: a locker room that actually believes that, and every every player,

1696
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 1: you know, every coach is all preaching the same mentality, Uh,

1697
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: it takes you a lot of places, you know, and um,

1698
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: it was fun to see that when when guys start

1699
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 1: going down with injury bugs and uh, there was no panic,

1700
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, no panic on the sideline. Guys just you know, hunger.

1701
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 1: They're kept fighting and they gave themselves a chance to win.

1702
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: And that's all you can ask for, you know, every everybody,

1703
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: every man that's standing next to you on that sideline,

1704
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: every man that's standing next to you on that field,

1705
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: is just keep fighting for me and if I if

1706
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,560
Speaker 1: I need you to carry me, carry me in. It

1707
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun to see those guys, like

1708
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: you said, hang around and when given the opportunity, and

1709
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: when the opportunity presented itself. They were able to go

1710
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: out and make the plays to finish the game. But hey, Freddy,

1711
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: this uh Bill's defense. It's number two in the league.

1712
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: It was number one going into this week, and yet

1713
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 1: you look at them, they're not and it's been two

1714
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 1: weeks or three weeks since they've gotten a sack. They

1715
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a single turnover yesterday. But they're a tough

1716
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 1: What makes this defense? How can you have a defense

1717
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,600
Speaker 1: that's so high in those rankings and so you know,

1718
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,600
Speaker 1: so difficult and then not be i mean, not be

1719
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: really that spectacular to watch. You know, they're not making

1720
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: huge plays. They didn't get any turnovers, no force fumbles,

1721
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: none of that stuff, no sacks, and yet here they

1722
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: are at the top of the league. Yeah, I mean,

1723
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 1: they're just stingy. If you look at them, they don't

1724
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: give up a lot. You know, you may be able

1725
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: to move to play move the ball on them a

1726
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: little bit, but uh you know, they don't give up

1727
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot of big plays. And that's one of the

1728
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: things that they really focus on is you know, we'll

1729
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: give you, you know, one of one or two first

1730
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 1: downs here, but that's about all you're gonna get. And

1731
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: I think as far as you have a defense that's

1732
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: a stagy like that, they keep rotating those guys on

1733
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 1: the line, so they keep there. They're not getting sacks

1734
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 1: where they're hitting the quarterback every time that you know,

1735
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: he drops back, and uh, that takes his toll on offenses. Um,

1736
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, in a running game, they're not giving up,

1737
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 1: you know, three four two, three hundred yard Russian games.

1738
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,600
Speaker 1: And as long as you continue to do that, you

1739
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: give yourselves an opportunity to win games. And I'll tell

1740
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 1: you what, it's one of the better defenses. And I

1741
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: would not have wanted to play against them on the

1742
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: line with Fred Jackson talking about yesterday's Bills game. Fred

1743
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: is co host of Bills Tonight at eleven thirty on

1744
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: Sundays on MSG. After each Bills game, if everybody says

1745
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 1: it every time the Bills played, what do you think

1746
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: of John Shalon and what do you see as firsts

1747
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: his progress based on yesterday's game, Fred, Yeah, I mean

1748
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people are We've grown the custom to

1749
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 1: watching them taking off and running, you know, I mean

1750
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: when you go for three hundred and fifteen or three

1751
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards in the last three games. Uh,

1752
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 1: you know you're on some impressive things which you're left.

1753
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: I think yesterday, you know, he did some things with

1754
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: his arm. You know, he he threw a couple of

1755
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:09,719
Speaker 1: guys open. Uh, he threw he hit Foster in stride

1756
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:11,799
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and one of them for a touchdown.

1757
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: So it's great to you can actually see him standing

1758
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 1: in a pocket and going through his reads. Even on

1759
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,639
Speaker 1: his touchdown run, you can see him go through all

1760
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: four reads before he decided to pull the ball down

1761
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: and go make the play with his feet. So even

1762
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: simple things, uh, throwing, he threw four or five balls

1763
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: into the stands when he was running towards the sideline

1764
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 1: instead of trying to make a play, you know, back

1765
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 1: across fielding. I think his first one was ten ten,

1766
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 1: ten rolls deep in the stands because he wanted to

1767
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 1: make a point. Yeah, I'm not gonna do this again.

1768
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: So you can see, you know, the simple things like

1769
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: that is is him picking up you know, the knowledge

1770
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 1: that he goes back and he watches film and saying

1771
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: that or things he can improve on him. As long

1772
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: as he continues to take that mentality, he's gonna be

1773
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: a great, a special kid for a long time. If Freddy,

1774
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this, said our producer said, he

1775
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: shuts up to on Twitter that you put out this

1776
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: past week about a home theater that you have in

1777
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,719
Speaker 1: your home there, and I want, uh, pretty impressive looking

Speaker 1: I got a chance to build my house, the number

1784
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: one thing I wanted was a nice theater room that

1785
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 1: I can go watch movies in because it's one of

1786
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: my favorite things doing the past time. So uh, you know,

01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 1: we got we can break down films like that too.

1790
01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: So what's the best movie Christmas movie you guys watch yet?

01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve for those, but we just watched Christmas Chronicles

1795
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: last Tuesday and it was a pretty good movie. I

1796
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: would recommend that for anybody. You watch, you old ones,

1797
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:01,240

01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Yea watched It's a Wonderful Life. The one we watched

1799
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,320

1804
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,680

1805
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: I got the theater full of snacks. Kids love the popcorn,

1806
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,400

Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive, John Murphy's Teve Tasker and our

1828
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: one Buffalo Studio Bill's Patriots coming up on Sunday. I

1829
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: like going to New England late the season, Steve. I

1830
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 1: like going there and they lost two in a row.

1831
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: Also interesting doesn't happen often? Yeah, they and an interesting

1832
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: play yesterday you were raving about it. Special teams. Maybe

1833
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 1: that you are a little punt coverage downfield where they

1834
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: kept it alive. It was pretty amazing. Yeah, two guys

1835
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: come in, the ball was bouncing into the ends. The

1836
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: first guy jumps in, grabs it and tries to flip it,

1837
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 1: but it goes straight up, so it's still in the

1838
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: end zone, but it's going straight up. The second guy

1839
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 1: comes in tight ropes it, comes in and swipes it

1840
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: with his right hand and throws it back out, and

1841
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: the third guy, the third guy, downs it on the

1842
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: two yard line. It was just a sensational play there,

1843
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: and it it was just a fantastic play, great team work,

1844
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 1: great understanding and awareness by all three of those guys,

1845
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 1: and and it ended up being an enormous play I

1846
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 1: think for the Patriots in that game. Now, they obviously,

1847
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: as we just said, they ended up still losing the game.

1848
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: But man oh man, those plays really make a difference much.

1849
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: Can you practice that kind of stuff? I don't know,

1850
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: but I know they don't practice it enough around the league.

1851
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: I see guys messing that up constantly all over the league.

1852
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:49,640
Speaker 1: It drives me nuts. It is not that hard to

1853
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 1: keep a ball out of the end zone. And you

1854
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,799
Speaker 1: got guys, it's like they don't even understand the concept.

1855
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 1: You need the right bounce right if bunce stuff the

1856
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: balls in the air, get it off the ground. Well

1857
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: it's too late. Then where were you? Maybe I never

1858
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:05,719
Speaker 1: got higher than six. Well, then we're not talking about

1859
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 1: those plays, are we We're talking about players like this one.

1860
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:09,639
Speaker 1: We're talking about where you've got a chance to knock

1861
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:11,559
Speaker 1: the ball out of the end zone and you can't.

1862
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: You don't have the ball skills to put your hands

1863
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: on a ball that's floating right in front of you.

1864
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,639
Speaker 1: Come on, So people do not practice it? Oh teams, don't?

1865
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 1: I guess not? Did you? Of course I did? In fact,

1866
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: I envisioned it. Would you practice it? You go down,

1867
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: you chase a ball down there and keep it out

1868
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 1: of the end zone like a pundit ball or something something.

1869
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 1: You just throw it, tumble it down there. It's easy,

1870
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: it's not that difficult. You just gotta know what you're

1871
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: supposed to do and how to do it, and you

1872
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: know it's and do it. I mean, come on it.

1873
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: The kind of you got. The concept is to keep

1874
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: the ball out of the end zone and don't let

1875
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 1: it touch the ground. And you can't touch the ground

1876
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 1: either those are the only rules in there, and guys

1877
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,840
Speaker 1: really struggle with it. They really struggle it off. It's

1878
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 1: all they get down there and all of a sudden

1879
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,719
Speaker 1: they forget what they're supposed to do, and they forget

1880
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,600
Speaker 1: those two simple things that I just said. I just

1881
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, and they and they swipe

1882
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 1: at it and miss it, or they throw it sideways

1883
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: out of the end zone, or they bat it to

1884
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: the ground, or they take two steps in the end

1885
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: zone and then, oh my gosh, it's just one thing.

1886
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: I heard it. It's one thing. Is there another? Here's

1887
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:18,320

1918
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: Here is James calling from Rochester. Hello, James, you got

1919
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:12,760
Speaker 1: to you got a big shoes to fill her. James,

1920
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, James, A fact to follow. Well, man, I

1921
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 1: just i'd like to commented every week we see little

1922
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:20,320
Speaker 1: pieces of Josh Allen improving and improving, and I think

1923
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 1: yesterday it was those short passes. I mean, it's great

1924
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 1: that he's got a rocket for an arm and he

1925
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 1: makes those passes the foster, but you know, you got

1926
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:29,719
Speaker 1: to move the change, and I think over the previous

1927
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 1: weeks he got those shorter passes and the passes over

1928
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: the middle a little better. And I'm impressed too. I

1929
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 1: went to the last day at training camp to sharing

1930
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 1: in Rochester, and in his workouts he had that those

1931
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,560
Speaker 1: happy feet going, which are always props for quarterbacks, and

1932
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 1: I've seen no happy fee. Especially yesterday, his poison the

1933
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: pocket was was really good. I mean he had some

1934
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:53,679
Speaker 1: few scrambling plays he had to fumble, but just every

1935
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 1: week there's something a little more with him that improves.

1936
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: And yesterday I think goes those shorter passes. Thanks Okay,

1937
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 1: I think that injury had that we were missing us

1938
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 1: four weeks is the best thing that ever happened to him.

1939
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 1: And I let you hear your comments. Well, that's a

1940
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 1: good observation, jameson one of the things. I think he

1941
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 1: did use those four weeks off to great advantage. I

1942
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 1: think he did what you would hope he did. He

1943
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 1: sat down and watched and learned and tried to apply

1944
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 1: some intelligence with what he was looking at and how

1945
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 1: it was going to affect him when he did get

1946
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: back on the field as he knew he would. And

1947
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing some of it. I think everybody.

1948
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:33,759
Speaker 1: I think the common refrain with Josh has been constant

1949
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 1: and steady improvement. And I call it he's on the

1950
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 1: right trajectory. He's just not wavering. And I've said I

1951
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:45,040
Speaker 1: said this last week Murphin you can comment on. I

1952
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 1: don't know what you think. You might disagree. At some

1953
01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:50,560
Speaker 1: point he's going to take a step back. He'll have

1954
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 1: a bad game, make a bad throw. You know, he

1955
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 1: had through an interception last week when he tried to

1956
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 1: do a little too much. But even in those U

1957
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think you see more improvement than you

1958
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: do regression and I think that's the thing you've got

1959
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 1: to feel good about. You know. James said something about

1960
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: he was at the last day of training camp and

1961
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 1: watched Josh Allen then and I kind of had a

1962
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 1: mental image, not necessarily the last day, but Josh in

1963
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 1: training camp and he was good. He was pretty good.

1964
01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 1: You know, big strong army, was making big strong throws

1965
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 1: and you know the crowd would love it when he'd

1966
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 1: hit somebody downfield because he was going deep. A lot

1967
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,599
Speaker 1: of training camp. But johsh in training camp, Josh Allen

1968
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 1: compared to Josh Allen now, he is so much better.

1969
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:32,560
Speaker 1: He's so much more refined. Right now, Stephen just just

1970
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 1: better feel for what the job is and what's what's

1971
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 1: needed from him. It really is a dramatic improvement. And

1972
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 1: for James from Rochester to make that statement got me

1973
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 1: kind of drawing mental images of what he looked like

1974
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: in camp. He looked good, but he looks so much

1975
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:49,200
Speaker 1: better now, all right. He looks like an NFL quarter,

1976
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 1: looks really calm. A couple of times yesterday and you

1977
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:54,120
Speaker 1: got to tip your hat to the offensive line of

1978
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 1: the Bills. They gave him a lot more time on

1979
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 1: a lot more occasions yesterday than they have in the

1980
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 1: lead up to this game. And to his credit, Josh

1981
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 1: stood back there and hung in until he was ready

1982
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 1: to either throw it or scramble after a long period

1983
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:12,519
Speaker 1: of time when nobody was open. So a lot to

1984
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 1: be excited about, no question. But I think the offensive

1985
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 1: line gave us a chance and gave Josh a chance

1986
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,400
Speaker 1: to see another step in his progression. All right, a break,

1987
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:23,680
Speaker 1: We're coming back. Bruce Feldman's gonna join us. He is

1988
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:26,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback expert. He's written a book, The QB The

1989
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 1: Making of Modern Quarterbacks, and he's going to join us

1990
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:30,680
Speaker 1: when we come back for the third and final hour

1991
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 1: of the show. Come on back with us. One goes

1992
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:42,280
Speaker 1: live from one Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo Bills Radiofalo

Speaker 1: Hills Radio Network Sports Update from one Bill's Drive. It

1994
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:50,480
Speaker 1: is victory Monday for the Buffalo Bills. No scheduled practices

1995
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:53,800
Speaker 1: or walkthroughs or scheduled meetings for the Bills as they

1996
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 1: take in their victory over the Detroit Lions yesterday. At

1997
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 1: one point when fourteen thirteen over the Lions. Good game

1998
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen, good game for the Buffalo defense, and

1999
01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: they did it. With several players first stringers on the sidelines.

2000
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: Several got hurt during the game itself. Now the Bills

2001
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 1: two games left, one of the road coming up this

2002
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:14,280
Speaker 1: Sunday at New England against the Patriots, who've lost their

2003
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,000
Speaker 1: last two in a row. The Patriots with a little

2004
01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 1: spot of trouble here down the stretch, Tom Brady says,

2005
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 1: we just did not get the job done. With the

2006
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: Patriots losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers seventeen to ten yesterday,

2007
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 1: Brady criticized for a careless toss towards the end of

2008
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: the game that went for an interception. So he were

2009
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 1: just trying to throw the ball away, but instead it

2010
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 1: went as an interception. It's a second thrade week that

2011
01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 1: Brady has bumbled a red zone situation. In the loss

2012
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:40,720
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins. A week before, he lost track of

2013
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: how many time outs he hadn't took a sack. Home

2014

Speaker 1: games against the Bills and the Jets on Tapper New England.

2015
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 1: They still have a chance here to be to get

01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 1: a first Round five it They've got to win some

2017
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 1: of these games. Fourteen penalties from New England yesterday as well.

2018
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 1: Sean McVay, head coach of the Rams, says, We've got

2019
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:59,200
Speaker 1: to figure it out fast. The Rams, coming out of

2020
01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: their by for the third straight game, had a problem

2038
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 1: on the Subway Fresh Stake Hotline. The Man it was

2039
01:35:56,479 --> 01:36:01,360
Speaker 1: a sideline reporter on Fox TV yesterday. Noted and acclaimed

2040
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 1: author is a book, The QB to Making of Modern Quarterbacks,

2041
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 1: considered one of the most important quarterbacks about quarterback playing

2042
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 1: in college and NFL football. He's a national College football

2043
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 1: insider for The Athletic. Happy to have Bruce Fellman on

2044
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: the line with us Huce, John Murphy and Steve Tasker

2045
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it,

2046
01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 1: my pleasure. Thanks for having me. How'd you like your

2047
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 1: back home in Los Angeles? So you've gone coast to

2048
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:26,720
Speaker 1: coast since the game ended at four o'clock yesterday, Your

2049
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 1: first NFL game as a sideline reporter yesterday. I'm sitting

2050
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 1: next to a guy here, Steve Tasker, who's done dozens

2051
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:35,160
Speaker 1: of sideline reporting NFL games. What did you think of

2052
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 1: the experience? How was it like down there in the sidelines? Bruce?

2053
01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, I had a blast. It's a little different

2054
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:44,720
Speaker 1: than because I've done four seasons doing it for college. Right.

2055
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,680
Speaker 1: It's different because the teams are way more open to

2056
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: providing injury information and that's something that usually you have

2057
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 1: to scramble for. You may not get it on the

2058
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 1: college side, whereas teams are really forthcoming because of the

2059
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:02,800
Speaker 1: league policies and not. Um also found you know, you

2060
01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 1: can talk all I'm pretty liberally to players in uh

2061
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 1: in warm ups, which is something that's really hard to

2062
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:11,000
Speaker 1: do in college. And um So there's a lot of

2063
01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: cross over though. I mean, you know, you have a

2064
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 1: lot You had a lot of old Syracuse guys on

2065
01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: the mid Lions staff. Ryan dave Ball was obviously just

2066
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 1: at Alabama. Um So there's a lot of guys I

2067
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 1: knew at least uh. You know, I hadn't seen Mark

2068
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley in a little bit a while, but you know,

2069
01:37:29,120 --> 01:37:31,719
Speaker 1: I know him pretty well from his days covering USC

2070
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 1: and I kind of kept in touch with him. And

2071
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: it's funny, you know, the player personnel guy Dan Morgan

2072
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 1: for the Bills. You know, I've known him for twenty years.

2073
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 1: I've written about him, know his family. So it was

2074
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,320
Speaker 1: great to you know, visit with him while watching practice

2075
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 1: on Friday for a while. So I really enjoyed it.

2076
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 1: What were your impressions of the Bills young quarterback? I

2077
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 1: know you've you wrote the book The Murph Mitchen, The

2078
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 1: Making of a Modern Quarterback. What did you think of

2079
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:59,839
Speaker 1: the young quarterback of the Buffalo Bills. I was impressed,

2080
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, I was impressed by how the team responds

2081
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 1: to him. I mean, for people who haven't seen him,

2082
01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: he's a really big dude. I mean, he's he's a

2083
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:09,360
Speaker 1: big guy. You know, a lot of times some of

2084
01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:14,639
Speaker 1: these really mobile threat quarterbacks aren't aren't the biggest guys.

2085
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:16,679
Speaker 1: They're usually shorter guys who can kind of get lost

2086
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:19,680
Speaker 1: in the traffic, and he's not that. And obviously the

2087
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 1: other the other issue that he has is because he

2088
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 1: has a ridiculously strong arm. You know, you can have

2089
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 1: guys scrambling to try to get ready for him going

2090
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:31,360
Speaker 1: downfield and all of a sudden will chuck it, you know,

2091
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 1: forty yards over, you know, over the DB's head, just

2092
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: because you're just not expecting a guy to be able

2093
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,519
Speaker 1: to reach every part of the field with his arm

2094
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: when he uncorks it. So the questions I think was

2095
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 1: going forward are going to be decision making and accuracy,

2096
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:48,320
Speaker 1: which those were questions coming out out of college. But

2097
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:51,599
Speaker 1: you know, it was impressed by what I saw from him,

2098
01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: and you know, you got to remember, I mean, as

2099
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 1: you guys know, they were down to the horse string

2100
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: running back and you have a bunch of inexperienced, unproven guys.

2101
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought, to me, one of the coolest

2102
01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 1: parts of this weekend was just really getting reconnected with

2103
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:10,080
Speaker 1: Robert Foster and his story. And it's been pretty awesome

2104
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 1: to see how he's really emerged in the NFL after

2105
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 1: such an up and down and kind of underwhelming career

2106
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:19,519
Speaker 1: that was marked by injuries. And at Alabama, he's really

2107
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 1: he's really blossom in there. I know you've spent a

2108
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 1: lot of time in the college ranks looking at drafts

2109
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:27,559
Speaker 1: and analyzed him. And I know it's very very early

2110
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 1: for the twenty nineteen NFL Draft, But does it have

2111
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,560
Speaker 1: a personality yet? Do we know what it's gonna be?

2112
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:36,080
Speaker 1: What it's gonna there's gonna be a lot of and

2113
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 1: a little love. And are there gonna be great players

2114
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:41,800
Speaker 1: at the top or what are your impressions on the

2115
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 1: horizon for the twenty nineteen draft. Well, if you need

2116
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 1: a D line, then this is the class to go after.

2117
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:50,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be loaded with defensive lineman. You got a

2118
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:52,919
Speaker 1: you know a handful of guys coming out of Clempson.

2119
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,960
Speaker 1: The biggest guy is Dexter Lawrence, who's six five three

2120
01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 1: forty and surprisingly nimble. At Oliver as an inside guy

2121
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 1: at Houston, who's in the mold of Aaron Donald. I

2122
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:08,759
Speaker 1: don't think he's quite that good. But who is Nick Bosa,

2123
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 1: who's Joey Bosa's younger brother, who's coming off an injury,

2124
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,439
Speaker 1: but he's a He's a dominant pass rush who also

2125
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:18,760
Speaker 1: plays the run. I mean it's a deep, deep group.

2126
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 1: Rashawn Gary of Michigan. I mean there's a bunch of

2127
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:23,439
Speaker 1: dudes coming out. I would not be surprised if you

2128
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 1: had thirteen first round picks. Who are d Lineman. I

2129
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 1: mean it's that deeper group. Well on the Subway, Fresh

2130
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:32,799
Speaker 1: Date highline with Bruce Feldman. He is a sideline reporter

2131
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,200
Speaker 1: for Fox Sports to the sidelines of the Bills lines

2132
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:36,760
Speaker 1: gave me yesterday. I want to get you back to

2133
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:39,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen for a second. Person. We're back in January,

2134
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 1: when you were looking at the quarterbacks coming out in

2135
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen class, you wrote that Josh Allen is

2136
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:47,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback with the greatest chance of success in this

2137
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: year's draft class, the best tools by far. What do

2138
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: you think now and how do you think he has

2139
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 1: measured up to your evaluation of him from eleven months ago? Well, again,

2140
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:00,520
Speaker 1: of course, be the biggest question mark is just the accuracy.

2141
01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you looked at when he played against you know,

2142
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 1: in them he's in the Mountain West at Wyoming, when

2143
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:09,479
Speaker 1: he played against the highest level of competition that he faced,

2144
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 1: the team really struggled. Now, his two thousand and sixteen season,

2145
01:41:15,479 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 1: they had some pretty good players around, a bunch of

2146
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:20,680
Speaker 1: handful of guys we're on NFL rosters the next year.

2147
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:25,560
Speaker 1: Last year not so much. They really struggled around him. So,

2148
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 1: you know, I think the biggest thing for him which

2149
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 1: will help, and I do think it helps that. You know,

2150
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:34,160
Speaker 1: my broadcast partner Brady Quinn, who was with me this

2151
01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: weekend and we worked together, he was with the Browns

2152
01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:39,919
Speaker 1: with Derek Anderson, speaks really highly of him. Matt Barkley's

2153
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: a great kid, great guy. So I think that is

2154
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 1: going to help him to have those people around them

2155
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 1: who have that level of perspective. I think that that's

2156
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 1: all well and good, but it's so hard. I mean

2157
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:57,639
Speaker 1: when you look at at you know, guys who come

2158
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 1: in in the league and thrive at that position, they

2159
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 1: usually have a lot of support system around them and

2160
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 1: talent around them. When you're talking about really inexperienced receivers

2161
01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:10,720
Speaker 1: and that's the group that what Josh has, and now

2162
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 1: you're talking about they're down to their four string running back.

2163
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 1: That's a tall order for anybody, so I think people

2164
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 1: need to be really patient with them. There's gonna be

2165
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: some really wild stuff with Josh and there's going to

2166
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:24,320
Speaker 1: be some scratch your head stuff with him, But just

2167
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:27,360
Speaker 1: from the intangible part, just talking to people are in

2168
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:30,360
Speaker 1: the organization and also being around him a little bit.

2169
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 1: I had a very favorable impression of him coming out

2170
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:36,280
Speaker 1: of this weekend. How can the Bills bets use his athleticism?

2171
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 1: Is running ability? And when did he get to the

2172
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:41,280
Speaker 1: point of overusing it? Do you think they get to

2173
01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:43,360
Speaker 1: the point of overusing it when he takes a huge

2174
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 1: shot and you're not sure if he's going to get

2175
01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:49,320
Speaker 1: back in the game. I think at the same time,

2176
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 1: it's easy for me to say this because it's not

2177
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 1: like I'm the one who invested all the money in him,

2178
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 1: But that is one of the things that makes him

2179
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:59,560
Speaker 1: very talented, and his part of his skill set is

2180
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:04,000
Speaker 1: the ability when they go into five wide and he's

2181
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 1: in shotgun and the other team has their sees, their

2182
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 1: back turns, and he is faster than I think a

2183
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:12,760
Speaker 1: lot of people realize. You know, even Matt Stafford told

2184
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 1: us on Saturday, he goes, you know, he is making

2185
01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: some guys line up for a factor pretty fast and

2186
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 1: he's outrunning them. So you know, it's like, I'm not

2187
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: sure what the Stopwatch wouldn't necessarily read, but when it's

2188
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:28,479
Speaker 1: football speed, he's he's gaining ground on guys, and I

2189
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:31,439
Speaker 1: think that is a real positive to him. And just

2190
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 1: like you know, whether it's Cam Newton or I mean,

2191
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:36,559
Speaker 1: he's obviously not as physically big as Cam, but he's

2192
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:39,080
Speaker 1: still big, and he's certainly not as big as Ben Roethlisberger.

2193
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:43,560
Speaker 1: But those skills are what you know, they're part of

2194
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:46,120
Speaker 1: the package, and I don't think you want to limit those.

2195
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 1: I just think you want to be smart about how

2196
01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 1: you do it. And I think that you know, I

2197
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 1: think Brian Dave Ball and obviously you know, I think

2198
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 1: that McDermott are going to be very wise to just

2199
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 1: rain it in us as when needed, so it's not excess,

2200
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 1: so he doesn't take those big shots that you just

2201
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 1: you know, can impact you down the road. Bruce, you

2202
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 1: watched the game yesterday from the sidelines. What did you

2203
01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:13,799
Speaker 1: see about the Detroit Lions and Matt Patrician the program

2204
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 1: they're trying to get going over there. I mean Matthew Stafford.

2205
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:20,639
Speaker 1: Murph and I have watched Matthew Stafford at least once

2206
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 1: a year in the preseason for his entire career. We

2207
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,760
Speaker 1: think the guy can really sling it. But they're really

2208
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 1: struggling offensively. Yeah. Look, I mean, in fairness to Matt Stafford,

2209
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean when we sat down with him on Saturday,

2210
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 1: he had trouble getting in out of his chair. His

2211
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:39,680
Speaker 1: back is that bad. He was banged up pretty good. So,

2212
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, they in a lot of ways, with the

2213
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:45,960
Speaker 1: exception of the quarterbacks experience, I feel like they do

2214
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:48,600
Speaker 1: mirror what you see with the build. I think they

2215
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 1: have a really good defensive line. I think that they

2216
01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:55,960
Speaker 1: have some key pieces in place with skill position wise

2217
01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:59,600
Speaker 1: around the quarterback. I feel like they don't you know,

2218
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:01,920
Speaker 1: they don't have a time to work with. I mean

2219
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:05,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay's a good second your receiver. He struggled with

2220
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 1: pat through feeders in the week before, but he had

2221
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:10,200
Speaker 1: a big game obviously yesterday. But then you just look,

2222
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:13,880
Speaker 1: they're pretty limited in the backfield, and I think that's

2223
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:17,560
Speaker 1: hard when your quarterback's hurt. I just think that you

2224
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 1: know they have some good pieces, but this is at best,

2225
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, a six win team right now, and I

2226
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 1: think that you know Patricia has got I think they

2227
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 1: got to be patient with him because there's been some positives.

2228
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:34,840
Speaker 1: But at the same point you look at it, I mean,

2229
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,160
Speaker 1: Smax Harrison has made a difference in their defense. I

2230
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 1: think their defense is really going to be good as

2231
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:43,640
Speaker 1: some good young players to build around. But again, it

2232
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of the Bills, with the exception

2233
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:48,360
Speaker 1: of the experience at the quarterback spot, which is going

2234
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:50,200
Speaker 1: to give you concern when he's been in there ten

2235
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: years and it's like you want to see you want

2236
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:55,679
Speaker 1: to see some breakthrough and right now I don't see

2237
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 1: the Lions getting close to breakthroughs. Last question I have

2238
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 1: for you deals with another Buffalo Bill, another first round

2239
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:03,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills player, Tremaine Edmunds, who you tweeted out today

2240
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:06,560
Speaker 1: that his Ababama fans would be happy to see the

2241
01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 1: way he's adjusted to the game. He had a pretty

2242
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:11,559
Speaker 1: good game yesterday Tremaine did, didn't he. Yeah. I mean, look,

2243
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:14,280
Speaker 1: he's a big long you know. Dan morganos tell me,

2244
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:16,559
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, this kid's sixty five two fifty plus.

2245
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:20,240
Speaker 1: You know, he's just turned twenty or he's still twenty.

2246
01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: He's he maybe two hundred and sixty five pounds, two

2247
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,560
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds, and he can really run. And

2248
01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 1: you just don't see the kind of length in the

2249
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:30,559
Speaker 1: middle of the defense that he has. Now, the other

2250
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,559
Speaker 1: things that I think abode really well. Talking to Leslie Frazier,

2251
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:37,000
Speaker 1: they talk about his maturity and his comp demeanor, and

2252
01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 1: that's something that I think that you know, as you're

2253
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 1: talking about building around around this defense, we have some

2254
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 1: young guys in the secondary. The maturity that he has,

2255
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:50,479
Speaker 1: He's got a really awesome future there because of just

2256
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:53,479
Speaker 1: his rare combination of gifts that he has to go

2257
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 1: with the meaner and they'll want to. I mean, everybody

2258
01:46:57,320 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 1: would talk to Kyle Williams. He's in the league forever.

2259
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:03,759
Speaker 1: You know, all the coaches, the people in the personnel department,

2260
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 1: everybody was high on Edmonds and what they think he

2261
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:09,600
Speaker 1: can do and what he's doing right now. Yeah, I

2262
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:12,080
Speaker 1: said Alabama, I meant for Junior Tech. Sorry about that.

2263
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:13,800
Speaker 1: It sounds like you talked to everybody in the Bills

2264
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: organization when you're up here, Bruce, Well, we're trying to

2265
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,240
Speaker 1: go deep as we could. Believe me, it's crazy in

2266
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:21,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the game because I'm a college guy.

2267
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm texting the running back coach at OU

2268
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:25,360
Speaker 1: and the running back coach at Texas A and M

2269
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 1: just to try to find more about the four string

2270
01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 1: runing back because I knew he had been at both places.

2271
01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: And you just never know what you may need in

2272
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,720
Speaker 1: the course of the broadcast. Great. Yeah, hey, Bruce, thanks

2273

Speaker 1: for this. And we didn't We n down the show

2274
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:38,040
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago about the book, and I

2275
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:42,559
Speaker 1: tell people it's really the source for figuring out who's

2276
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 1: going to play quarterback in the NFL. Your book, and

2277
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 1: we thank you for writing that. Thank you for spend

2278
01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 1: a few minutes on the show with us year today.

Speaker 1: We appreciate it. My pleasure. Thanks you guys, have a

2280
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Bruce Feldman joining us from Los Angeles,

2281
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:56,520
Speaker 1: His book is the QB The Making of Modern Quarterbacks,

2282
01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 1: and we thank you for joining us today on the

2283
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:01,599
Speaker 1: Subway Fresh Take Hotline and Subway Eat Fresh. I read

2284
01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:06,000
Speaker 1: that book, Steve, and it's it's um it's a little technical,

2285
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 1: but a lot of it is stories about recent quarterbacks,

2286
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 1: a lot of it West Coast Base, but just you

2287
01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 1: know where they go to get trained and how they

2288
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 1: train and and I guess the part that got me

2289
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 1: most of all was how early of the recruitment and

2290
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 1: training period begins for top level quarterbacks. I mean, we're

2291
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,600
Speaker 1: talking seventh and eighth graders who get noticed and so

2292
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:28,720
Speaker 1: this guy can play well. And I've said it before too,

2293
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:31,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. A lot like Cam Newton when they're out

2294
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:34,560
Speaker 1: there playing quarterback, a little bit like Ben Roethlisberger. You know,

2295
01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 1: they're kind of the biggest, tallest kid on the field,

2296
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 1: and it's like a fifteen year old playing with twelve

2297
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 1: year olds, you know. And when that happens at younger

2298
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:46,599
Speaker 1: ages and the coaches put that big, strong, fast kid

2299
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:49,720
Speaker 1: that can throw the football back there, it's gotten to

2300
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 1: the point where they don't. It used to be all

2301
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 1: the big guys got put at running back and hand

2302
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:56,960
Speaker 1: the ball and they'd run it. But now you give

2303
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:58,560
Speaker 1: them the ball and they can throw it and run it.

2304
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:01,720
Speaker 1: And they put them at quarterback a younger ages. And

2305
01:49:03,080 --> 01:49:04,960
Speaker 1: if you're the best kid, you're gonna get a shot

2306
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:06,840
Speaker 1: to play that position. And if you and if you

2307
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 1: hang in there long enough, all of a sudden, you're

2308
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 1: fourteen years old and you got people approaching about getting

2309
01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:15,080
Speaker 1: trained or you're or you're seeking them out or giving

2310
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:18,000
Speaker 1: advice to do it. So it's it goes deep. I mean,

2311
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 1: it's just like hoops. You know, they get these kids

2312
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 1: set aside when they're six seventh graders and uh, and

2313
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,640
Speaker 1: their life takes off from there. Have you ever done that? Texted? Uh,

2314
01:49:27,200 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 1: while you were doing a games sideline reporting, texted a

2315
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:31,760
Speaker 1: coach to get information on the player who's in the

2316
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 1: game right in front of you. I mean you almost

2317
01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:35,880
Speaker 1: had to right fourth the fourth string, right business, Yeah,

2318
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you gonna You can't flip through

2319
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: the game. You know they have the media guide. Would

2320
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 1: be a bad look, right right for the media guy, right,

2321
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:46,000
Speaker 1: all right, But it's true you if you try and

2322
01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:48,760
Speaker 1: find out things. But I'll also we'll have guys in

2323
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 1: the truck that we'll we'll call back and say, hey,

2324
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,080
Speaker 1: what's the story with this guy, where's he from? And

2325
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 1: if if he is somebody you know, I don't know.

2326
01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 1: It's a little too late on the sidelines for me

2327
01:49:57,640 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 1: to do that because they never answer right they're watching games. Yeah, Hey,

2346
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:53,640
Speaker 1: so to the point where I do not know what

2347
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 1: the fans would do with Doctor Show. Got it serious? Wow?

2348
01:50:57,240 --> 01:51:00,560
Speaker 1: So thank you, Trent Banner Day. It is. See what

2349
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 1: a win does. It opens up all this good will

2350
01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:06,920
Speaker 1: Forest team. You know what the late great Van Miller

2351
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:08,519
Speaker 1: used to say, And we're gonna get back to you, Trent.

2352
01:51:08,600 --> 01:51:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm not cutting. Van used to say to me, Murph,

2353
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:13,200
Speaker 1: when they win, where the best. We're the best damn

2354
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:15,840
Speaker 1: anouncers in the NFL. When they look when the Bill's

2355
01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:19,639
Speaker 1: lose were something else. That's true. Yeah, that's the way

2356
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,760
Speaker 1: it goes. What's on your mind, Trent? Well, guys, I

2357
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 1: want to make the points that while Josh Shallow wasn't

2358
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:30,040
Speaker 1: projected to play this year, Robert Foster was his favorite receiver.

2359
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:33,800
Speaker 1: They were both down on the depth chart, and of

2360
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:36,839
Speaker 1: course Josh Allen was able to get out in practice

2361
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 1: starting line up. So my point is that they have

2362
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:41,360
Speaker 1: a lot of chemistry that I'm not hearing a lot

2363
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 1: of people talk about because they were both he was

2364
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:47,599
Speaker 1: stolen to remember all of them. Good here fingertip touchdown

2365
01:51:47,720 --> 01:51:50,559
Speaker 1: past as Josh moved to Robberts that he missed. Yeah,

2366
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 1: but he did put it right there. So he was

2367
01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 1: showing an ability to get out there. And of course

2368
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: everyone said, well, I was just a guess their string competition.

2369
01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:02,640
Speaker 1: The truth is he can do that on anybody at

2370
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:05,599
Speaker 1: any given time. So my point on the main point

2371
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:07,639
Speaker 1: I'm making a day is that they've had a lot

2372
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 1: of time together and it's only gonna get better. So

2373
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 1: you're seeing the result of them being together. Down on

2374
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 1: the depth jot. They both moved up, which I think

2375
01:52:16,680 --> 01:52:19,560
Speaker 1: is great. Now they're both starters, and it's just I

2376
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 1: feel like a foul father guy. It's a good point,

2377
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 1: and you know it is a good point. They worked

2378
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:28,040
Speaker 1: together during the bye week, right when everybody else kind

2379
01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:29,439
Speaker 1: of cleared out. The Bill's got a lot of time

2380
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:31,240
Speaker 1: off during the bye week, just a month or so ago,

2381
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:34,880
Speaker 1: and they worked together. They stayed here, Robert Foster stayed

2382
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:37,639
Speaker 1: here is Josh was bouncing back from his injury, so yeah,

2383
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:40,360
Speaker 1: that you needed somebody to throw to and Robert Foster said,

2384
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:43,400
Speaker 1: I'll do it. And it's interesting too and Trent brings

2385
01:52:43,479 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 1: up a good point about the reps that they got together,

2386
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:46,880
Speaker 1: and I think, and it's one of the things we've

2387
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,840
Speaker 1: looked back on maybe that has hurt other guys on

2388
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 1: the bills about not getting opportunities and not having a

2389
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,799
Speaker 1: chemistry with Josh Aden. Most notably we spoke about earlier

2390
01:52:57,320 --> 01:53:00,560
Speaker 1: Charles Clay. He can't not only did he work with

2391
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, Nate Peterman, Derek Anderson, all the guys that

2392
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:05,519
Speaker 1: were starting before Josh got in, and then with Josh

2393
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:09,599
Speaker 1: he didn't practice much because of his because of his age,

2394
01:53:09,640 --> 01:53:12,160
Speaker 1: and because of his knee that he has to have

2395
01:53:12,240 --> 01:53:15,960
Speaker 1: to monitor really closely. He doesn't get as many reps

2396
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 1: as these young guys who are undrafted rookie free agents

2397
01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:21,000
Speaker 1: because he just can't practice enough. And that's one of

2398
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:23,880
Speaker 1: the reasons perhaps he hasn't been as effective at tied

2399
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:27,840
Speaker 1: in with Josh Allen in there either. But certainly the

2400
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 1: more times you throw to a player there and when

2401
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:35,439
Speaker 1: the chips are down and you're under pressure, the ability

2402
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:38,639
Speaker 1: to know what that guy is gonna do because you've

2403
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 1: thrown to him a million times is invaluable and it

2404
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:44,559
Speaker 1: leads to more opportunities for that, and I think there's

2405
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: no question that Robert Foster and Josh Allen are proving it.

2406
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:50,560
Speaker 1: You've gotta call here. How are you with rules? I

2407
01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I know it's feel the same way. Well

2408
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:54,760
Speaker 1: let's take it, Kevin and Rochester. Kevin, I think I

2409
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:57,160
Speaker 1: know what player you're gonna ask about. But go ahead, Kevin.

2410
01:53:57,200 --> 01:53:59,560
Speaker 1: You're on the air with this, Hey, guys, how you

2411
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:01,400
Speaker 1: doing it? It's a real pleasure to be on with

2412
01:54:01,479 --> 01:54:06,280
Speaker 1: you right now? Um My question was My question was, yeah,

2413
01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 1: you probably know what I'm talking about. There's two thirty

2414
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:10,560
Speaker 1: eight left in the game, and Alan May set a

2415
01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:12,760
Speaker 1: nice little float to Chrome and he catches it for

2416
01:54:12,840 --> 01:54:15,080
Speaker 1: the first down, and the Lions only had one time out,

2417
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:17,960
Speaker 1: and they called the penalty, but the Bills obviously waived

2418
01:54:17,960 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 1: the penalty, and the clock doesn't that he's caught. He's

2419
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:24,200
Speaker 1: tackled and bounds the clock stop, and we're trying to

2420
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:25,800
Speaker 1: grind the clock out and then the game and I'm thinking,

2421
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 1: oh great, we're gonna we're gonna maybe burn the clock

2422
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 1: down to two minutes or the Lions are gonna have

2423
01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:32,040
Speaker 1: to burn their last time out. They don't burn their

2424
01:54:32,080 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 1: last time out. You know, and the clock just sits

2425
01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 1: there after they wave the penalty. The clock just sits

2426
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 1: there at two thirty eight, and I noticed, I thought

2427
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:40,120
Speaker 1: I saw similar thing happened in the past Steelers game

2428
01:54:40,200 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 1: last night near when the Scheelers are trying to run

2429
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:44,600
Speaker 1: some clock. You know what you needn't ask about the play.

2430
01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna ask about Kevin and I'm looking

2431
01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:48,400
Speaker 1: it up here. There was a penalty flag thrown on

2432
01:54:48,520 --> 01:54:50,880
Speaker 1: that play. Glover Quinn was on the play on the

2433
01:54:50,960 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 1: pass to Chrome the big pick up the second to

2434
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 1: nine Bills at their own twenty five twenty five yards

2435
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:59,960
Speaker 1: to Jason Kroome. A penalty on Glover Quinn for defensive holding,

2436
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:03,640
Speaker 1: which the Bills declined because they got twenty. You would

2437
01:55:03,680 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 1: think normally that if the penalty was declined that they

2438
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,200
Speaker 1: would start to clock. What they don't. If there's a

2439
01:55:09,240 --> 01:55:14,200
Speaker 1: penalty called, whether it's accepted or declined, the clock stays stopped. Yeah.

2440
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 1: That's kind of isn't it kind of funny because that's

2441
01:55:16,240 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 1: like helping the Lions. Like, okay, so they get a

2442
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 1: holding and they're getting helped on that play. Since I

2443
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:21,760
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, did I miss so many

2444
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:23,320
Speaker 1: time mounts, they head up that they blow a time

2445
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:25,400
Speaker 1: out there real quick, and I'm like, I just doesn't

2446
01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:27,200
Speaker 1: seem it doesn't seem fair to any teams trying to

2447
01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:29,560
Speaker 1: run the clock. Well, it's it's okay for the Bills

2448
01:55:29,640 --> 01:55:32,760
Speaker 1: because think about it. If it was say a third

2449
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 1: and two or third and three, and they run that

2450
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:37,760
Speaker 1: play and it's a five yard penalty, well they get

2451
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 1: the first down anyway, and or if it's not, they

2452
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:43,280
Speaker 1: get a replay the down. So you're going to lose

2453
01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:45,880
Speaker 1: that time anyway, and the Bills could certainly choose. So

2454
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:48,080
Speaker 1: they got not only the time that the first play

2455
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:51,240
Speaker 1: took off the clock, they also get the time for

2456
01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 1: the replay of third down or replay of second down

2457
01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:56,680
Speaker 1: on the penalty. So they don't stop. They don't start

2458
01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 1: the clock whenever there's in fraction, even if it's declined.

2459
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:03,200
Speaker 1: Thanks very much. Let's go to Terry in Niagara Falls. Hello, Jerry,

2460
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:08,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Terry. Yeah, are you doing Hi,

2461
01:56:08,760 --> 01:56:11,840
Speaker 1: you're on the air, Terry. Oh yeah, I'm just calling

2462
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:14,920
Speaker 1: her and not. I believe like Keith Ford really stepped

2463
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:17,320
Speaker 1: up for the MVP role due to the fact that

2464
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:21,200
Speaker 1: you know you're down to your last running back, and

2465
01:56:21,320 --> 01:56:23,640
Speaker 1: the kid really showed up and the defense had to

2466
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:28,440
Speaker 1: concentrate on him, and it really helped out with you know,

2467
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:31,920
Speaker 1: the defense not butts and as much and going after all. Yeah,

2468
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 1: it's an interesting point. I think there were others who

2469
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 1: maybe merit the MVP Award for yesterday's game ahead of

2470
01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 1: keith Ford. But you make a good point, you know,

2471
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 1: in our broadcast, but you know, go Steve. When you're

2472
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:45,000
Speaker 1: in commercial break, you talk among yourselves, Kelso myself a

2473
01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:47,600
Speaker 1: couple of our spotters, and we're saying, if I'm the Lions,

2474
01:56:47,640 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 1: I start throwing blitzes when keith Ford's out there, because

2475
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:52,440
Speaker 1: again his first NFL game, this guy's never seen this.

2476
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:54,760
Speaker 1: They didn't really do it much, but I thought they would,

2477
01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:56,480
Speaker 1: and I think keith Ford kind of held up pretty

2478
01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 1: well in the face of everything they were given and

2479
01:56:58,080 --> 01:56:59,960
Speaker 1: given him. Yeah, but here's the thing. They don't want

2480
01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:02,840
Speaker 1: blitz Josh Allen. Yeah, because if they blitz him, have

2481
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 1: to go man coverage behind him and he breaks containing

2482
01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 1: and gets out of there. Now he's running down the

2483
01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:10,840
Speaker 1: fielding and now you're you're giving up a hundred yards

2484
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:13,880
Speaker 1: rushing Forget keith Ford. Doesn't do it, you give it

2485
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:16,960
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen. Right, that's the that's the dilemma they

2486
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:19,760
Speaker 1: get in. So it's almost like Josh Allen made it

2487
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 1: easier for keith Ford because the Lions defense was forced

2488
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:26,680
Speaker 1: to defend Josh Allen's running game and in so doing

2489
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:28,960
Speaker 1: kind of left it open for keith Ford to run

2490
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:31,600
Speaker 1: behind the offensive line in more traditional way. Ye, here's

2491
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:33,760
Speaker 1: a call from Stan and Amhurst. Go ahead, stand you're

2492
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:37,480
Speaker 1: on the air with us. Yeah, I don't think there's

2493
01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:40,800
Speaker 1: any doubt that Josh Allen is the MBT. I mean,

2494
01:57:40,880 --> 01:57:43,960
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But my question for you

2495
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:49,360
Speaker 1: guys is why hasn't the coaching staff taught him when

2496
01:57:49,480 --> 01:57:52,920
Speaker 1: he's in field goal range not to take a sack?

2497
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:56,600
Speaker 1: Because I've noticed over the course of the last few

2498
01:57:56,720 --> 01:58:01,840
Speaker 1: games he's been in field goal range, Haska and he

2499
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 1: takes a sack, And in my mind, that would be

2500
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:09,600
Speaker 1: the only thing you don't want to do, while one

2501
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 1: of the only things you don't want to do just

2502
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:14,520
Speaker 1: take a sack when you're already in field goal range.

2503
01:58:14,960 --> 01:58:18,960
Speaker 1: So could you guys explain to me the coaching staff

2504
01:58:19,080 --> 01:58:23,040
Speaker 1: hasn't helped him? Well, Stan, let me tell you, why

2505
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 1: hasn't Josh Allen learned that? Well, that's why you could

2506
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:31,400
Speaker 1: blame it on Josh. Well, yeah, I mean, here's the

2507
01:58:31,480 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 1: thing that if Stan, if you stand whoever you are

2508
01:58:37,320 --> 01:58:39,320
Speaker 1: and whatever you do for a living, if you can

2509
01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 1: sit at home on your couch and know that you

2510
01:58:42,640 --> 01:58:45,920
Speaker 1: cannot take a sack as a quarterback in that spot,

2511
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:51,120
Speaker 1: how how much do you think the coaching staff knows

2512
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:52,840
Speaker 1: it and even most of the players on the field

2513
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 1: know it. What happened was it was a mistake by

2514
01:58:55,440 --> 01:58:57,800
Speaker 1: Josh because he thought he was going to be able

2515
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:00,440
Speaker 1: to make something happen and he's not us to getting

2516
01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:03,400
Speaker 1: hot caught from behind. That was a mistake by Josh.

2517
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 1: He knows he shouldn't have taken a sack there, and

2518
01:59:05,880 --> 01:59:09,440
Speaker 1: it's his inability to give up on a play that

2519
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 1: leads to it's not the coaches that don't are telling

2520
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:13,800
Speaker 1: him he shouldn't take it. He knows really good and

2521
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:15,880
Speaker 1: well he shouldn't take him. Sure he didn't yesterday. He

2522
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,560
Speaker 1: probably didn't even make it to the bench before somebody

2523
01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:20,920
Speaker 1: said you can't take that sack there, right, Like, dude,

2524
01:59:20,960 --> 01:59:23,080
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Yeah, I'm sure, and I'm sure

2525
01:59:23,080 --> 01:59:25,600
Speaker 1: they talked to him about it before you tell him,

2526
01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 1: and he's in the heat of the moment there in

2527
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:31,520
Speaker 1: the game and stuff happens, Right, guys make a bad play, Yeah, Stan,

2528
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:33,400
Speaker 1: don't blame that on the coaching that is. That is

2529
01:59:33,440 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 1: all on Josh Allen. Thanks Dan. We're gonna take a

2530
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:37,840
Speaker 1: break here. We got a NFL true or false coming up. Plus,

2531
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear what Sean McDermot told his team right

2532
01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:42,760
Speaker 1: after the game in the locker room. We'll pick that

2533
01:59:42,840 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 1: up when we come back. One Bill's Live from One

2538
02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:06,280

02:00:06,320 --> 02:00:09,840
Speaker 1: it flying watching the video, staying up till two, working it,

2540

Speaker 1: watching the Bills video, coming into work today when you

2541

Speaker 1: don't feel one hundred percent, God bless you, Steve Taser.

2542
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:18,840
Speaker 1: All right, So newfound respect for you? Yeah, newfound? Well

2543
02:00:18,840 --> 02:00:23,840
Speaker 1: you didn't, okay, So I'll let it go. So so

2544
02:00:24,680 --> 02:00:27,320
Speaker 1: we in Buffalo are all about this. Josh Allen Thing

2545
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:31,440
Speaker 1: and this team gritty gritty win over the Detroit Lions,

2546
02:00:31,480 --> 02:00:34,120
Speaker 1: and how competitive the team has been over the last month,

2547
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:39,520
Speaker 1: beating Jacksonville and then dropping post games off, YadA, YadA.

2548
02:00:39,680 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 1: So in other cities, most notably Boston, we had a

2549
02:00:45,160 --> 02:00:47,800
Speaker 1: tweet from Brian Donovan who says, I'm listening to w

2550
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:52,200
Speaker 1: EEI out of Boston. They are melting down over their Patriots.

2551
02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Patriots with a two game losing streak. Definitely two different

2552
02:00:55,800 --> 02:01:00,600
Speaker 1: conversations going on in Buffalo and Boston. Momentum change, question mark,

2553
02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:04,480
Speaker 1: We'll see next year. We'll see next week and next year,

2554
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:11,120
Speaker 1: big game this week. That's an interesting conversation they must

2555
02:01:11,120 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 1: be having in Boston. They've dropped two straight. One the

2556
02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:16,560
Speaker 1: miracle finished till Miami Dolphins two weeks ago, and then

2557
02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:19,600
Speaker 1: they got handled by Pittsburgh who had a little bit

2558
02:01:19,640 --> 02:01:21,400
Speaker 1: of a chip on their shoulder, no question about it.

2559
02:01:21,520 --> 02:01:26,120
Speaker 1: But the Steelers beat UH New England last night, and

2560
02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:30,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots are looking at having to play in the

2561
02:01:30,600 --> 02:01:34,200
Speaker 1: wildcard round. Then they have to play the play opening weekend,

2562
02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:37,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs that happen in the NFL. I'm pretty sure

2563
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:42,280
Speaker 1: they'll file a grievance but but it doesn't yet. Let's

2564
02:01:42,280 --> 02:01:44,280
Speaker 1: face it, it doesn't happen very often to those guys.

2565
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:46,760
Speaker 1: They've usually got that bye week to to wind up

2566
02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:49,080
Speaker 1: and get ready to play. Yeah, I feel bad for him.

2567
02:01:49,440 --> 02:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah not really, not really really. You know, let's do this,

2568
02:01:54,440 --> 02:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Let's do NFL tru or false, because that leads right

2569
02:01:56,880 --> 02:01:59,160
Speaker 1: into one of the things in NFL true or false

2570
02:01:59,520 --> 02:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Larry Sports, which is a website. I'm trying to figure

2571
02:02:03,640 --> 02:02:05,920
Speaker 1: out where it's base Larry Brown Sports. I don't think

2572
02:02:05,960 --> 02:02:09,920
Speaker 1: it's in Boston. But he maintains that the end of

2573
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:12,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots dynasty is so clearly upon us. The end

2574
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 1: of the Patriots dynasty is upon us. True false, Steve,

2575
02:02:16,880 --> 02:02:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true. I can see it. I watched

2576
02:02:19,280 --> 02:02:22,480
Speaker 1: the second half of that game yesterday. They're not the same. Now. Look,

2577
02:02:22,520 --> 02:02:24,760
Speaker 1: they're not gonna collapse. They're gonna get to the playoffs,

2578
02:02:24,800 --> 02:02:26,920
Speaker 1: will probably win a playoff game or two this year.

2579
02:02:27,240 --> 02:02:29,680
Speaker 1: But I do think, for the first time, I feel

2580
02:02:29,720 --> 02:02:33,320
Speaker 1: fairly confident in saying this. I can see the end

2581
02:02:33,360 --> 02:02:35,880
Speaker 1: of the tunnel for the New England Patriots, and not

2582
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:38,480
Speaker 1: that that was a you know, a tremendous loss of

2583
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:40,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers yesterday, but a couple in a row. The

2584
02:02:40,640 --> 02:02:42,320
Speaker 1: way they played even when they you know, even the

2585
02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:45,320
Speaker 1: game in Buffalo, they didn't look like a top flight team.

2586
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:47,960
Speaker 1: The Bills, you know, the Chargers look better than the Patriots.

2587
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:50,120
Speaker 1: It against the Bills this year, a couple of other teams,

2588
02:02:50,200 --> 02:02:53,080
Speaker 1: did I Baltimore? Come on, No, they are not where

2589
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:54,880
Speaker 1: they used to be. The end of the Patriots dynasty

2590
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:57,680
Speaker 1: is upon us. I say, true, damn it. I'm out there. Steve,

2591
02:02:58,240 --> 02:03:01,840
Speaker 1: I think it's probably true as well. I think I

2592
02:03:01,920 --> 02:03:04,920
Speaker 1: think Bill Belichick and Tom Brady's, no question, he's not

2593
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:09,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback he was just two years ago. He's he doesn't.

2594
02:03:09,480 --> 02:03:11,520
Speaker 1: He's never moved very well, and now it's starting to

2595
02:03:11,560 --> 02:03:15,080
Speaker 1: catch up to him. His arm is not as accurate

2596
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:19,280
Speaker 1: or as strong as it was two years ago. Bill

2597
02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Belichick has said time and again he's not gonna coach

2598
02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:25,080
Speaker 1: when he's seventy. Well, he'll be sixty seven next year.

2599
02:03:26,920 --> 02:03:29,280
Speaker 1: It's getting close for him as well. I don't think

2600
02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:31,240
Speaker 1: they'll drop off the face of the earth, no question

2601
02:03:31,280 --> 02:03:33,520
Speaker 1: about it. I think you look back at the Josh

2602
02:03:33,640 --> 02:03:37,280
Speaker 1: McDaniels pump fake he gave the Indianapolis Colts where he

2603
02:03:37,320 --> 02:03:38,840
Speaker 1: said he was going to coach for him, had a

2604
02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:42,240
Speaker 1: conversation with Bill Bob Kraft, and Bill Belichick decided not to.

2605
02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 1: It would seem as though he would be the heir

2606
02:03:44,680 --> 02:03:48,200
Speaker 1: apparent to the coaching move that's going to happen in

2607
02:03:48,320 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 1: New England whenever it does happen. And I don't think

2608
02:03:51,080 --> 02:03:53,920
Speaker 1: he would have turned a coaching job down if they

2609
02:03:53,960 --> 02:03:58,160
Speaker 1: said it's going to happen in five years. So having

2610
02:03:58,200 --> 02:03:59,960
Speaker 1: said all of that, I agree, I think it's true.

2611
02:04:00,200 --> 02:04:02,880
Speaker 1: I think some things are gonna change in New England.

2612
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna crush that organization because I

2613
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:08,840
Speaker 1: like their leadership at the top. Robert Craft's an now

2614
02:04:08,880 --> 02:04:11,200
Speaker 1: standing guy. But yeah, I think that that group as

2615
02:04:11,240 --> 02:04:14,920
Speaker 1: we know it, I think is the end is in sight.

2616
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:18,040
Speaker 1: The end is in sight. Let's not celebrate yet. But yeah,

2617
02:04:18,040 --> 02:04:20,760
Speaker 1: there's no reason to celebrate. Believe me that they're they're

2618
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:24,600
Speaker 1: still pretty good. Oh yeah, yeah, it's just in yeah,

2619
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:28,120
Speaker 1: all right. NFL True or False? Part two, It's time

2620
02:04:28,280 --> 02:04:31,480
Speaker 1: to start thinking about the Chicago Bears appearance in the

2621
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:34,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They've won seventh or the last eight. They're

2622
02:04:34,720 --> 02:04:37,200
Speaker 1: playing well. It's mostly fueled by their defense. I don't

2623
02:04:37,240 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 1: think Trabiski is ready to do that for him yet,

2624
02:04:39,960 --> 02:04:42,960
Speaker 1: this is false. I don't. I think the Bears obviously

2625
02:04:43,080 --> 02:04:46,720
Speaker 1: are playoff found and they're gonna maybe win one playoff game,

2626
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:48,040
Speaker 1: but that'll be it for them. I don't think they're

2627
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:49,560
Speaker 1: that good. Yeah, they're a playoff team. And when if

2628
02:04:49,640 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, if you're talking about a team that's going

2629
02:04:51,040 --> 02:04:52,960
Speaker 1: to go into the playoffs, particularly playing well and hit

2630
02:04:53,120 --> 02:04:55,560
Speaker 1: hitting an uptick, the Bears of that team, and they've

2631
02:04:55,560 --> 02:04:57,400
Speaker 1: got a chances to get to the super Bowl. But

2632
02:04:57,800 --> 02:05:00,240
Speaker 1: they're not the team I would pick. I would the

2633
02:05:00,920 --> 02:05:06,120
Speaker 1: Saints the Rams ahead of them for sure. So yeah,

2634
02:05:06,200 --> 02:05:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no, I don't. I guess false. No,

2635
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:12,680
Speaker 1: find me NFL true or false. Nick Foles will lead

2636
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:15,000
Speaker 1: another underdog charge for the Eagles. Well, he did it

2637
02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:17,360
Speaker 1: last night. I get that. But no, I think there's

2638
02:05:17,600 --> 02:05:20,000
Speaker 1: too much. I know the Eagles fans are hoping that

2639
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:22,080
Speaker 1: this is it again, you know, part two of Nick

2640
02:05:22,120 --> 02:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Foles leading them deep into the playoffs. I don't think so.

2641
02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think they'll make the playoffs.

2642
02:05:27,200 --> 02:05:29,200
Speaker 1: I say that's false. Now they're I think their mojo

2643
02:05:29,320 --> 02:05:32,240
Speaker 1: is not what it was a year ago they had.

2644
02:05:32,240 --> 02:05:34,280
Speaker 1: They had too many departures on their coaching staff, and

2645
02:05:34,320 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 1: too many departures and too many differences that have happened

2646
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:41,200
Speaker 1: on their roster this season to repeat what they did

2647
02:05:41,240 --> 02:05:42,880
Speaker 1: a year ago. So I would agree with you. I

2648
02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:44,720
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think they're going to the super Bowl.

2649
02:05:44,760 --> 02:05:48,640
Speaker 1: And Nick Foles, even though he may play well, it's

2650
02:05:48,680 --> 02:05:51,520
Speaker 1: not going to be a repeat of twenty seventeen though. Okay.

2651
02:05:51,760 --> 02:05:53,680
Speaker 1: NFL two or False brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2652
02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:57,040
Speaker 1: New York's Artists and Cheese. And now we have sound

2653
02:05:57,240 --> 02:06:00,240
Speaker 1: and video from the Bills locker room yesterday, moments after

2654
02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:03,120
Speaker 1: they beat the Detroit Lions by one. Of course, head

2655
02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:05,800
Speaker 1: coach Sean mcderman gets everybody around them and gives a

2656
02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:08,880
Speaker 1: little speech. And this time they had a special visitor

2657
02:06:09,520 --> 02:06:13,200
Speaker 1: on the FaceTime call. Uh take a listen to this.

2658
02:06:13,360 --> 02:06:15,600
Speaker 1: This is a Sean mcdermant in the Bill's locker room

2659
02:06:15,640 --> 02:06:19,200
Speaker 1: after the win against the Lions yesterday. Go man, there

2660
02:06:19,240 --> 02:06:22,360
Speaker 1: we go. That's a great team win. Man, great team win.

2661
02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Gods go down, another guy steps up then't bat an eye.

2662
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Great job. I'm proud to be a part. Praise God,

2663
02:06:28,720 --> 02:06:29,960
Speaker 1: to be a part of the man in this room

2664
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:32,320
Speaker 1: right here, man, the character. The man in this room

2665
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:37,040
Speaker 1: got great resiliency, madness, unbelievable. The other locker room might

2666
02:06:37,080 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: being rather than right here than this one with you

2667
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:41,880
Speaker 1: right here, right No other locker room right here, right here?

2668
02:06:43,440 --> 02:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Where's that two hundred and sixty pennel quarterback? We got? Hey,

2669
02:06:52,240 --> 02:06:54,360
Speaker 1: fourth and one? Right? What's the one we're going to

2670
02:06:54,440 --> 02:07:00,480
Speaker 1: get the win? Hey? Man, you didn't you work? You

2671
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:20,400
Speaker 1: stick together? He got Oh, I already know. Milano on

2672
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:23,400
Speaker 1: the cell phone breaks them down one of two three bills.

2673
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:24,960
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool. That's a cool way to do it.

2674
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,960
Speaker 1: It is so fun to win. So fun. What do

2675
02:07:29,040 --> 02:07:32,280
Speaker 1: you think how much do coaches, Steve, you've been around

2676
02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:33,840
Speaker 1: the league for a while, how much time do they

2677
02:07:33,880 --> 02:07:36,280
Speaker 1: spend before the victor are thinking about what am I

2678
02:07:36,320 --> 02:07:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna say if we win? Or do you think it's

2679
02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:40,240
Speaker 1: totally spurred the moment walking off the field sane or whatever.

2680
02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:42,840
Speaker 1: I would imagine they put a little bit of time

2681
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:44,800
Speaker 1: into it. I some of them do, some of them don't.

2682
02:07:44,840 --> 02:07:47,160
Speaker 1: I think it depends on where your team is. Sometimes

2683
02:07:47,200 --> 02:07:49,640
Speaker 1: you need to say something to bring them together. I

2684
02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:51,640
Speaker 1: think it's just as important in a loss as it

2685
02:07:51,760 --> 02:07:55,480
Speaker 1: is in a win. Um sometimes more important because it's

2686
02:07:55,560 --> 02:07:58,000
Speaker 1: easier to you know, to have stout creep in, so

2687
02:07:58,080 --> 02:08:00,880
Speaker 1: you've got to you gotta week to him more importantly

2688
02:08:00,920 --> 02:08:03,080
Speaker 1: when they lose in a positive way than you do

2689
02:08:03,200 --> 02:08:05,760
Speaker 1: when they win. And winning you can say anything you want.

2690
02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Everybody's happy because no no worries. But when you lose,

2691
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:12,120
Speaker 1: I think it's even more important. Watching I think more

2692
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:15,200
Speaker 1: thought goes into the loss speech then probably watching and

2693
02:08:15,320 --> 02:08:17,560
Speaker 1: listening to Sean after the game yesterday, I got to

2694
02:08:17,640 --> 02:08:20,440
Speaker 1: think and you probably thought the way the thing I

2695
02:08:20,480 --> 02:08:21,720
Speaker 1: said at the start of the show. It was a

2696
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:24,840
Speaker 1: gutty win. It was gutty. You know, they're they're trying

2697
02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:27,560
Speaker 1: to patch together lineups and who are you gonna have

2698
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:29,680
Speaker 1: to carry the ball, And well DeMarco will take a

2699
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:31,840
Speaker 1: few snaps and he'll play tailback and then you know

2700
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:35,280
Speaker 1: we're carting off Isaia McKenzie, you know, Isam McKenzie's back.

2701
02:08:35,320 --> 02:08:37,160
Speaker 1: It was a little bit nutty there yesterday with all

2702
02:08:37,160 --> 02:08:39,360
Speaker 1: the guys going on and off the field, both sides,

2703
02:08:39,400 --> 02:08:41,760
Speaker 1: but particularly for the Bills. It was gutty to hang

2704
02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:43,080
Speaker 1: in there and win the game the way they did,

2705
02:08:43,280 --> 02:08:46,760
Speaker 1: absolutely and to have him rally around him to do

2706
02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:49,240
Speaker 1: it and have you know, you're this pride and joy

2707
02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:51,200
Speaker 1: we all got in Josh Allen, He's this you know,

2708
02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:53,840
Speaker 1: prized cow. Why did he call him to He's this

2709
02:08:53,960 --> 02:08:56,920
Speaker 1: prize cow that we all have there watching him develop.

2710
02:08:57,040 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 1: And then you've got like six undrafted free agents out

2711
02:09:01,080 --> 02:09:03,840
Speaker 1: there around him to help him win. And you know,

2712
02:09:03,880 --> 02:09:05,760
Speaker 1: they get it done. They get it done. It was

2713
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:08,400
Speaker 1: somewhat impressive yesterday a break. Here, We're back with more

2714
02:09:08,680 --> 02:09:10,600
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive and this is

2715
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:29,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. What do we learn from today's show?

2716
02:09:29,320 --> 02:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's homes and

2717
02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:35,760
Speaker 1: businesses with the finest and security and home Theater the

2718
02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:38,840
Speaker 1: preferred alarm at home theater provider, all the Buffalo Bills.

2719
02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:40,440
Speaker 1: What did we learn? We had a good show today.

2720
02:09:40,680 --> 02:09:43,440
Speaker 1: We had Jordan Poyer Bill Safety in studio with us.

2721
02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:45,520
Speaker 1: During the first couple of minutes of the show today,

2722
02:09:45,760 --> 02:09:48,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer talked about the victory over the Lions yesterday

2723
02:09:48,640 --> 02:09:50,920
Speaker 1: and talked about the progression of the defense, how this

2724
02:09:51,040 --> 02:09:55,720
Speaker 1: defense has been getting better the Jets game. Kind of

2725
02:09:56,440 --> 02:09:58,440
Speaker 1: we were able to learn from that game. You know,

2726
02:09:58,520 --> 02:10:00,360
Speaker 1: we had a lead of the Jets game, we kind

2727
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:02,680
Speaker 1: of we let a slip from us and and we

2728
02:10:02,760 --> 02:10:05,880
Speaker 1: didn't make enough plays in the end to win the

2729
02:10:05,920 --> 02:10:08,000
Speaker 1: game and seal the game for our for our team.

2730
02:10:08,160 --> 02:10:10,760
Speaker 1: So um that, I mean, that's just another thing. You know,

2731
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:14,400
Speaker 1: our team just continues to learn through um, through past

2732
02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:16,680
Speaker 1: past mistakes. And you know we were able to just

2733
02:10:16,840 --> 02:10:18,400
Speaker 1: made one more player than they did at the end

2734
02:10:18,480 --> 02:10:20,760
Speaker 1: to win the game. There you go. Jordan Poyer was

2735
02:10:20,760 --> 02:10:23,160
Speaker 1: on our show today. Chris Brown joined US Today. Bills

2736
02:10:23,200 --> 02:10:26,600
Speaker 1: Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com talked about Robert Foster.

2737
02:10:26,720 --> 02:10:28,520
Speaker 1: We put the question to Chris who was the MVP

2738
02:10:28,960 --> 02:10:31,360
Speaker 1: of yesterday's win over the Lions. Chris went with the

2739
02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:34,800
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie free agent wide receiver Robert Foster. Here's what

2740
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:39,040
Speaker 1: he said. The guy had the three biggest plays in

2741
02:10:39,120 --> 02:10:42,880
Speaker 1: the passing game for the Bills and also was responsible

2742
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:45,400
Speaker 1: for the longest yardage play of the game, the forty

2743
02:10:45,480 --> 02:10:47,960
Speaker 1: three yard pass interference call that led to the touchdown.

2744
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:52,440
Speaker 1: So uh, in a game and in a league that's

2745
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:55,839
Speaker 1: largely decided by big plays, he had the three biggest

2746
02:10:55,920 --> 02:10:59,160
Speaker 1: ones and then accounted for the biggest penalty assessed against

2747
02:10:59,200 --> 02:11:00,960
Speaker 1: the Lions. I mean, you add it all up and

2748
02:11:00,960 --> 02:11:04,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about one hundred and fifty yards and a touchdown.

2749
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:08,520
Speaker 1: So I'll go with Foster. He goes with Foster. We

2750
02:11:08,600 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 1: put the question on the Twitter poll today and the

2751
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:13,440
Speaker 1: majority of you went with Josh Allen. Fifty one percent

2752
02:11:13,480 --> 02:11:16,080
Speaker 1: of our Twitter respondents named Josh Allen is the most

2753
02:11:16,160 --> 02:11:19,200
Speaker 1: valuable player and yesterday's win over the Lions. Thirty percent

2754
02:11:19,280 --> 02:11:22,320
Speaker 1: went with Foster. Like Chris, twelve percent went with Jordan Foyer,

2755
02:11:22,400 --> 02:11:25,640
Speaker 1: seven percent went to Lorenzo Alexander. I don't think I

2756
02:11:25,720 --> 02:11:27,960
Speaker 1: ever answered this question, Steve. I would have gone with

2757
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:30,160
Speaker 1: a player. I think he was all around the most

2758
02:11:30,240 --> 02:11:32,760
Speaker 1: valuable player of the Bills had and holding the helping

2759
02:11:32,800 --> 02:11:35,520
Speaker 1: to hold the Lions to just thirteen points in the game.

2760
02:11:37,040 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 1: I might agree with you, Um, I think it might

2761
02:11:39,400 --> 02:11:41,720
Speaker 1: be for me, it might be Robert Foster because of

2762
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:44,840
Speaker 1: the outlet that and the and the weapon he is.

2763
02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:47,360
Speaker 1: For Josh Allen, certainly, you can always make a case

2764
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:49,960
Speaker 1: for the quarterback, and in this case, I think it

2765
02:11:50,040 --> 02:11:52,000
Speaker 1: a gained this this low scoring I think you need

2766
02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:53,680
Speaker 1: to look for the guys that made the plays, and

2767
02:11:53,760 --> 02:11:55,720
Speaker 1: Foster was that guy for me. See, we can squeeze

2768
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:58,560
Speaker 1: one more phone call on this topic in Michael and Buffalo.

2769
02:11:58,600 --> 02:12:03,760
Speaker 1: You're on the here, Michael, go ahead, Yeah, how you're doing? Hi?

2770
02:12:04,920 --> 02:12:06,840
Speaker 1: How you doing? I'm doing great? What can I do

2771
02:12:06,960 --> 02:12:10,680
Speaker 1: for you? Michael? Okay? Um, I liked the game yesterday

2772
02:12:10,760 --> 02:12:16,280
Speaker 1: on the building, Mum, Lions. They played a good game

2773
02:12:16,400 --> 02:12:18,240
Speaker 1: yesday and I love it and they will win next

2774
02:12:18,280 --> 02:12:20,880
Speaker 1: week and they will win the following week. Wow, okay,

2775
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:24,520
Speaker 1: finished out with wins there you Um. New England's gonna

2776
02:12:24,520 --> 02:12:28,160
Speaker 1: be interesting, Steven. Look, they they've lost a couple in

2777
02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:30,680
Speaker 1: a row. They are very much, you know, a contender

2778
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:33,040
Speaker 1: for a championship again, even though I came close to

2779
02:12:33,120 --> 02:12:35,800
Speaker 1: pronouncing them dead a few minutes ago. New England is

2780
02:12:35,960 --> 02:12:38,160
Speaker 1: going to be ready to play, maybe as motivated for

2781
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:40,560
Speaker 1: this game as any that they've played against the Bills

2782
02:12:40,840 --> 02:12:43,280
Speaker 1: in recent history. In Foxborough, what do you think of that? Listen,

2783
02:12:43,320 --> 02:12:45,240
Speaker 1: They're on a two game losing streak, but they got

2784
02:12:45,320 --> 02:12:47,440
Speaker 1: beat by a team that's headed the playoffs and their

2785
02:12:47,480 --> 02:12:50,720
Speaker 1: own building, and they lost on a fluke play. Later

2786
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:53,840
Speaker 1: role two weeks ago to a team that they had outplayed.

2787
02:12:54,480 --> 02:12:57,880
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with New England. We send it. We

2788
02:12:57,960 --> 02:12:59,840
Speaker 1: think that maybe the end's coming for the regime and

2789
02:13:00,120 --> 02:13:03,080
Speaker 1: coach and the lead player there, Tom Brady, may be

2790
02:13:03,240 --> 02:13:05,600
Speaker 1: over in a minute, but you know they're gonna be

2791
02:13:05,640 --> 02:13:07,960
Speaker 1: a difficult team to beat in Foxbourg, just like they

2792
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:10,280
Speaker 1: always are. They're they're gonna contend for the Super Bowl

2793
02:13:10,320 --> 02:13:12,400
Speaker 1: again this year, and plus the Bills have questions about

2794
02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:14,160
Speaker 1: who's going to be ready right and running back, etc.

2795
02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Maybe we get some of those answers. Sean McDermott meets
