00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: This one Bills Live, presented by Calllida Health.

2
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome into a Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown,

3
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 2: Mattie glab with you for a three hour edition here

4
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: as we usually do during the regular season on Mondays,

5
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: whether or not we have a Sunday game or not,

6
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: and this is one of those weeks where we did

7
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: not have a Sunday game. As we all know, Bills

8
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: beat the Dolphins last Thursday night, and so a little

9
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: bit of time before we roll back into a three

10
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: hour Monday show. But here we are. Steve doing a

11
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: little golf today with the Buffalo Alumni Foundation. So Steve

12
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: getting in one of his last rounds. I guess it

13
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: would most people push it into October.

14
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: Weather's still good.

15
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Most golf diehards push it into October unless it gets

16
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: terribly rainy, which we finally did get some rain because

17
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. It's been like two weeks since

18
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: it's rained to drop here, and then it rained last night.

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: I usually know when it's raining because my dog is

20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: terrified at that point in time. She is a scaredy

21
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: cat when you get rain. We did have a little

22
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: thunder that never helps, So yeah, finally got some rain.

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: Because I don't know about you, but a lot of

24
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: my stuff is browning up quickly because I gave up

25
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: on watering stuff, Like oh yeah, three weeks ago when

26
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: all my summer plants got thrown out. The only thing

27
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm taking care of is my basil and oregano. That's

28
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: about it.

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you hit the end of September and you're like,

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: all right, I've had my time with these plants. I'm

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: done watering them. I'm kind of over it. I keep forgetting.

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: We're just gonna be done. We're going to let them die.

33
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: And yeah, keep keep the oregano, keep the basil. I'm

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: keeping my mint alive.

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: Oh you're mint. Yes, the mint's good, because doesn't it

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: keeps supposed to keep mosquitoes away? I think not that

37
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: you gotta really worry about mosquitos. Although yesterday was eighty two,

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: beautiful day, beautiful weekend for the final weekend of summer,

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: I guess today is the vernal equinox, where it's an

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: even twelve hours of daylight twelve hours of darkness, and

41
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: then you know where we're headed after that.

42
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: Oh, don't say it.

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know the worst part is getting out of

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: work here at like five and it's dark. Yeah already.

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: That's the part that's tough for me. But we both

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: had busy weekends, having open weekends with no work to

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: speak of on Saturday or Sunday, and your your weekend

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: got a little busier based on my mess up because

49
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: I was supposed to be a judge in a meatball

50
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: contest and make meatballs as well, and I realize I

51
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: double booked myself because my wife and I were going

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: to be out of town, and so Maddie was nice

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: enough to step in for me for said meatball judging

54
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: contest downtown and meatball making, which yeah, you were uncharacteristically

55
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: nervous about. You should not have been that nervous I was.

56
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: I enjoy cooking. I love to cook, but I'm not

57
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: somebody who wants to cook on a stage in front

58
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: of people. And also meatball cooking contest, I've never cooked

59
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: a meatball in my life. That's one thing I haven't done.

60
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: I'm Polish, We're not always cooking Italian food. I love

61
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: to give it a try, but not something that I

62
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: wanted to go up on a platform and be like, yeah,

63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: I'm pumped about this recipe that I have myself, so

64
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: I had some help from you, Chris.

65
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: We huddled up on Friday knowing this was coming. And

66
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: because I mean, my mom was one hundred percent Italian,

67
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: my mother in law is a hundred percent Italian, so

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: I grew up in an Italian household. And then my

69
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: wife kind of just continued that after we got married.

70
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: So like, there's a lot of lasagna and a lot

71
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: of sauce going on, especially in the fall here during

72
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: football season. But what I did was, and we'll explain

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: the non disclosure agreement shortly here, Maddie, but I shared

74
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: my mother in law's meatball recipe with you to use

75
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: at the meatball making contests, and lo and behold what happened, Mary,

76
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: Lo and behold?

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: We won the dang contest. The recipe was the winner. Now,

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: I got to say I had some help from the

79
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: restaurant owner. Osteria won sixty six. His daughter was able

80
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: to assist me throughout the making, and then her grandma

81
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: kept coming over and giving us tips. So you know,

82
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: we had a lot of help in this venture of

83
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: trying to make meatballs. But we ended up winning, so

84
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: I guess it was fair and square, even though we

85
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: were the only team who had the help.

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: But all right, so you got an assist, that's great.

87
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: So what we wanted to do was proper recognize the

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: meatball recipe from none other than my mother in law, Louise,

89
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: who is a daily viewer of the show, so we

90
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: want to bring her in now. So, uh, congratulations on

91
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: your meatball recipe winning. I have to ask, because I

92
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: always forget this mom is it? Is it your recipe

93
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: or your mom's recipe?

94
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 4: Okay?

95
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 5: Well, to be honest, it is my mom as well

96
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 5: as mine. I added and tweaked a few things, and

97
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 5: I also added the ten thing from my mother in law,

98
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: so then had ended up being my recipe.

99
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's like a two sided family kind of

100
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: morphing recipe, right.

101
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: I wanted to make sure my mother in law was

102
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: happy about the meatbout.

103
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 6: Two, so I put some.

104
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 5: Of her ideas into it. Okay, Maddy, I am so

105
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: proud of you because you admitted it. You're meditranean, but

106
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: you love to cook, and so I'm going to tell

107
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 5: you you follow the recipe the only thing in Italian

108
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 5: and Italian family. If you share that with anyone, I

109
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 5: would have to kill you love you.

110
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: My lips are sealed. My lips are sealed, Louis, you

111
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: can trust me. I will not sure with anybody.

112
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: Don't worry. Don't worry.

113
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 7: Mint.

114
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: We've drawn up a non disclosure agreement for Maddie.

115
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: He signed it, so we'll get it signed.

116
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 8: Don't worry.

117
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: We won't ask her to sign it in blood. Ink

118
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: will be fine. But yes, so yeah, and Maddie did admit.

119
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: I don't know that she followed the recipe to the letter,

120
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 2: but as you know, your own daughter does a little

121
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: of this and a little of that measure with my heart.

122
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: When I'm cooking, I I like to look at something

123
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: for guidelines. So it was great to have the guidelines.

124
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: But then when you're in it, it's like, well, juju,

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 3: this a little bit of that, a little bit of that. Sure,

126
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: that looks fine. Let's mix it all together. Hope it

127
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: tastes good. And I guess tasted good enough to win

128
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 3: first place.

129
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 5: I am so writing about that. I know that my

130
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 5: grandchildren I have always raved about my meatballs. But to

131
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 5: know that my recipe won, and I'm going to tell

132
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: you where I make meatballs. To anything else, I do

133
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: put a little bit of this and a little bit

134
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: of that is and so I think part of it

135
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 5: is just loving meatballs and you try different things. So Maddie,

136
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: you are a meatball team right now.

137
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 8: Wow.

138
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: You know, the Polish in me is very proud right now.

139
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: I was telling my grandmother, who is an avid cooker.

140
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: She's a wonderful baker, has done classes for people, so

141
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: that's where I get it from. She was so proud

142
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: of me as well, and was so happy to hear

143
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: that I brought home first place. She said, look at

00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: Okay, I always go bills. I love them for all

160
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 5: my life and it's been a long life.

161
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: All right, thanks very much. We'll talk to you soon.

162
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 9: Okay.

163
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: All right. That's Louise, my mother in law, whose meatball

164
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: recipe with Maddie's expertise, won the contest this weekend. So

165
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: she was very proud. Her eyes lit up when she

166
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: heard that you won the contest, So congratulations.

167
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: Thank you. Also, I also have to give a shout

168
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: out to Olivia, who is Nick the owner of a

169
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: stereo one sixty six. His daughter, Olivia was the assistant

170
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 3: that I had throughout it, and she was getting tips

171
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: from her grandma. So it was a whole Italian affair.

172
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: You know. Once you get a couple Italians around each other,

173
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, how can we help here? What are

174
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: we going to do with this?

175
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: That's what do you need?

176
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to make it work.

177
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 8: That's right.

178
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: That's great, So fantastic, great weekend, and congrats again. I

179
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: mean that's just great because when we make meatballs at

180
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: my house we use her recipe. I mean, I don't know,

181
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: let I have a choice of using any other well,

182
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: you know, but I will say it's a very good meatball,

183
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: so I don't have any problem making those. And me

184
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: and my son are often tasked with that. We're rolling

185
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: out the meatballs while they're doing lasagna or whatever else,

186
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: so we get the easy job. So there, it is,

187
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: so good job, good job, especially on a first time through.

188
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: LA first time. It won't be my last time.

189
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: That's what I learned.

190
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: It's not going to be my last time. I will

191
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: attempt to make meatballs again.

192
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good stuff there. It was a very busy

193
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: weekend in the NFL as well. Games this weekend absolutely nuts,

194
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: and we'll get to any and all of those here

195
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: in just a second as we go to the Bills notes. First,

196
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: players back at work today, conditioning session, you know, kind

197
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: of get the lactic acid out of the muscles, get

198
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: the body moving again. After getting an open weekend, having

199
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: played Thursday night, they're essentially gonna have a regular week

200
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: as we understand it, in preparation for the Saints. So

201
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: they'll be back on the practice field Wednesday as they

202
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: begin to install the game plan for New Orleans. And

203
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: we'll pivot to around the NFL here which is brought

204
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: to you by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the

205
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. And the Saints got steamrolled by the Seahawks

206
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: up in Seattle forty four to thirteen. Gave up a

207
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: ninety five yard punt return for a touchdown to Tory Horton,

208
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 2: and they were down twenty one to nothing before they

209
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: even got up off the match. Saints zero to three

210
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: for the first time since twenty sixteen with the Week

211
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: three loss at Seattle, So they got to go all

212
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: the way across the country to Seattle.

213
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, now they go home, come back, oh.

214
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: And three, and now they got to travel again up

215
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: to Buffalo this weekend. First time they've started owing three

216
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: since twenty sixteen. Spencer Ratler, who's the starting quarterback at

217
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: least right now, over nine in his career as a starter.

218
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not good. He had against the Cardinals, put

219
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: a nice game together. I gotta say, stats weren't that bad.

220
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: But then you go to Seattle and forty four to

221
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: thirteen is the final score there, one interception, one touchdown.

222
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: The offense is just not coming together, and you wonder

223
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 3: is there going to be a change at some point

224
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: to quarterback flipping it to the Giants. People already calling

225
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: for it's time for Jackson Dart to start here. Is

226
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: it too early for the Saints to make a move

227
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: at quarterback?

228
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck.

229
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, to Tyler Shuck, I would expect they roll with

230
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: Spencer Rattler for a couple more weeks.

231
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, if not that the Bills defense

232
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: is some juggernaut, but playing here like that's not an

233
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 2: easy place to play. If you're gonna start a rookie quarterback,

234
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: you're probably doing it in a home game, you would think,

235
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: you know, right, Like I kind of think that's where

236
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: it's at. And sometimes it's even coming off a bye

237
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: week where you really have two weeks to get ready

238
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: for an opponent, get him extra reps, all that stuff.

239
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: So we'll see what the Saints ultimately decide. But it

240
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: is the longest losing streak by a Saints quarterback since

241
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: Archie Manning went fourteen games in nineteen eighty. Rattler on

242
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: the day twenty eight to thirty nine for two hundred

243
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: and eighteen yards, a touchdown and a pick, and an

244
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: eighty three passer rating. So yeah, they're struggling right now,

245
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: and the task doesn't get any easier with them coming

246
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: up here to Buffalo this weekend. So week three in total,

247
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: eight games within one score of each other in the

248
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, seven decided by one score eight points or fewer,

249
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: all by teams Cleveland, Jacksonville, the Chargers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San

250
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: Francisco in Tampa that recorded the game winning score in

251
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: the final three minutes of regulation. Seven games with a

252
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: game winning score in the final three minutes of regulation

253
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: or overtime ties for the most such games in a

254
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: single week since nineteen seventy. Last time it happened was

255
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: Week fifteen of the twenty two season. So now you

256
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: have six teams Buffalo, Indianapolis, Chargers, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tampa

257
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: Bay all improved to three and zero. Colts offense has

258
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: come out of nowhere with Daniel Jones at quarterback. They

259
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: have now punted once over their first three games. It's

260
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 2: the fewest by any team over its first three games

261
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: of an NFL season since at least nineteen forty. Like

262
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: I think you felt once Daniel Jones was named the

263
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: starting quarterback that that offense was going to be functional again,

264
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: which you couldn't really say with Anthony Richardson in there.

265
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: It was kind of a feast or famine offense. But

266
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: they have talent, Like, they've got talent on that offense,

267
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: Josh Downs and Michael Pittman. And didn't they draft the

268
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: tight end Tyler Warren. I think they drafted the tight end.

269
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: You know, you got Jonathan Taylor still at running back,

270
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: like they haven't. They have skilled position talent And Daniel

271
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: Jones has made that offense functional again, which.

272
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: Is a crazy sentence. Daniel Jones has made an offense

273
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: functional again? What what? You would have never thought that

274
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: during his time with the Giants. And it just goes

275
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: to show you that depending on the environment that you're in,

276
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: great things can happen or bad things can happen. You

277
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: see a resurgence of Daniel Jones playing good football. Yeah,

278
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: the Colts are averaging over thirty four points per game.

279
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: That's good for second best in the NFL.

280
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. And I was skeptical because of what

281
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: they lost on their offensive line. So they lost their

282
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: starting center and their starting guard who both went to

283
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: Minnesota in free agency, and I was like, oh man,

284
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to fill those holes. So I

285
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: was skeptical more because of my belief that Indies offensive

286
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: line was going to give Daniel Jones the same problems

287
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: he had in New York when he didn't have a

288
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: good offensive line in front of him there. But they've

289
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: managed to make it work, so not just work, thrive,

290
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: So good for them. I mean, their schedule hasn't been

291
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: terribly difficult. I mean, they beat the Titans yesterday, and

292
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: they beat a Dolphins team that flat out was not

293
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: ready for Week one. We saw that debacle.

294
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: One point went over the Broncos and weak two.

295
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: Yes, and fortunate there because they got to kick a

296
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: second field goal after a penalty to win that game

297
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: by one. Was that twenty nine. So they've had a

298
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: bit of luck, which you probably have to do if

299
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: you're going to go unbeaten through the first three games.

300
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: And because I think everybody would say the Bills.

301
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: Had a little luck in there, Okay, yeah, through the.

302
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: Course of the first three weeks. But right now you've

303
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: got six teams that are unbeaten. Buffalo, Indianapolis, Chargers are

304
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: the AFC teams, Philly, San fran Tampa, the NFC teams.

305
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: So we'll see where it goes from here and I

306
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: will tell you the Eagles Rams game probably the wildest

307
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: of the weekend. They are the first team to overcome

308
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: a second half deficit of nineteen or more points since

309
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: Denver in Week four of the twenty three season, overcame

310
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: a twenty one point deficit to win at Chicago. Jalen

311
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: Carter and Jordan Davis each blocked a field goal in

312
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter in their Week three win over the

313
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: Rams Philadelphia, the first team since nineteen seventy eight to

314
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: block two field goals in the fourth quarter in the

315
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: same game, and Jordan Davis picks up the second block

316
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: field goal, gets up on his giant Clydesdale horse, and

317
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: runs sixty one yards to the end zone to end

318
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: the game with a touchdown.

319
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: Jordan Davis looks like a running back with the ball

320
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: in his hands. Oh my gosh, almost nineteen miles per hour.

321
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, three hundred and thirty pounds. This dude is moving

322
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: eighteen and a half miles per hour. I'm just gonna

323
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: tell you right now, Maddie, that ain't right. Three hundred

324
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: and thirty pounds. That human being should not be able

325
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: to run eighteen and a half miles per hour. But

326
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: there he goes now, I know he lost some weight.

327
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: He used to play it like three sixty. He's down

328
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: to three thirty. And he look, he doesn't. He is

329
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 2: not a sloppy man like that is a trim three

330
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: hundred thirty pounder doing part to the fact that he's

331
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: six foot six a giant human being running that fast.

332
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: I it's like Steve says all the time, Maddie, these

333
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: are the one percenters. Yeah, like, these are the one percenters.

334
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: They are one percent of the population. These people aren't

335
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: walking around on the street every day. And for him

336
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: to run fast when he's that big, it's bananas.

337
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: He also wasn't crazy winded after that run. Usually when

338
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: a defensive tackle goes off like that, you're you're to

339
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: the sideline and you're getting your oxygen. Jordan Davis did

340
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: not need any oxygen after that. A square plus B

341
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: square does not equal C squared, and in this equation

342
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 3: with Jordan Davis running that fast, three thirty eighteen miles

343
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 3: per hour does not make sense. But hey love it.

344
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: For the Eagles. That's awesome for them, Yeah.

345
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: Because they're about to lose that game. If that field

346
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: goal goes up and through, they lose yeah, because what

347
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: was it, twenty seven, twenty six, Yeah, Eagles are winning

348
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: by a point field goal beats him by two. They

349
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: block their second field goal. I'm just gonna say this,

350
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: I don't want to be on the Rams special teams

351
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: unit for meetings today. Two blocked field goals in the

352
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and you back drives. Yeah, I don't want

353
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: to be in those meetings this morning. Yikes. Jets head

354
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: coach Aaron Glenn was asked today in his Monday press

355
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: conference whether Justin Fields will return as starting quarterback when

356
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: cleared from concussion protocol. Here's the direct quote from Aaron Glenn.

357
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: He said, we'll talk about that today as his staff

358
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: will make sure we come out with the right answer

359
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: for that. I know what you're trying to ask me,

360
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: but we'll make sure we talk about that as a staff.

361
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: First and foremost, Justin came in as our starter. He's

362
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: been our starter. Tyrod was the backup. I want to

363
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: make sure I know exactly where Justin's at. I don't

364
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: want to say anything until I know that Justin's cleared.

365
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: So once he is cleared, I'll let you know exactly

366
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: where we're going. I think we already know where he's going,

367
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: because he's talking about it in the past tense. Yeah,

368
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: got it right, Like he's I'm gonna repeat it. You

369
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: tell me if you hear differently, like Maddy and I

370
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: are like trained to read between the lines and hear

371
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: these things. So I'm gonna read it one more time.

372
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: Justin came in as our starter, past tense. He's been

373
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: our starter, past tense. Tyrod was the backup past tense.

374
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I know exactly where Justin's at.

375
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to say anything until I know Justin's cleared.

376
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: And the question wasn't even like, hey, how's Justin doing?

377
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: Is he going to be cleared soon? Because then he

378
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 3: finishes saying I won't say until Justin is cleared. Well, there,

379
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: we're not asking you about when Justin is, if Justin is,

380
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: we're asking if he's going to be the starter he's cleared.

381
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's not a direct answer at all. And

382
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: he's talking in the past tense, which which is going

383
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: to lead especially New York reporters to believe that he's

384
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: contemplating a change there. And look, the last time Aaron

385
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: Glenn and the rest of us saw Justin Fields he

386
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: looked god awful against Buffalo, and even when he had

387
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 2: time to throw and hit a target, he was missing

388
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: targets like you remember the throws behind Garrett Wilson and.

389
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: High and wide and behind wasn't coming together.

390
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: So I mean, we're going to make that change. I mean,

391
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 2: you're zero and three, your team desperately needs a win.

392
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: I get it.

393
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: But that's something you can't walk back if you make

394
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: that change in week four. And I mean that is

395
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: that is something that if you do your locker room

396
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 3: changes in one way of another, may be they're for

397
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: the change, but if that change doesn't go well, what

398
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: are you going to do and going to go back

399
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: to justin fields? How does your locker room feel about that?

400
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: When all Aaron Glenn is trying to do is like

401
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: he's the big culture guy right now implementing the correct things.

402
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 3: If you're going to do something like that, you have

403
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: to be sure about what's going to follow.

404
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 2: And I think the other thing he has to be

405
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,239
Speaker 2: mindful of too, is because Bills fans know it all

406
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 2: too well. Here like Tyrod can get you to a

407
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: level of functionality on offense, but there's a ceiling to

408
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: that as well. Where if the guy throws for over

409
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifteen yards, it's a banner day for him.

410
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 2: We know that his demeanor on the field is he's

411
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: overly cautious with the football, which is great, you're not

412
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: turning it over, but you're also not making a ton

413
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: of plays either. So if you want to try to

414
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 2: run the football and play defense and just use Tyrod

415
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: as your game manager, okay, fine, But if you ultimately

416
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 2: want more, you have to ask yourself. Does justin Fields

417
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: give us more? Maybe they don't think he does, but

418
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 2: it's been a small sample size to now even be

419
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: contemplating that switch, which it seems like he clearly is right.

420
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: He feels it's on a two year contract. You're making

421
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: the switch in week four. Maybe you have another year

422
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: with this guy.

423
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: Possibly It's yeah, it's messy, but this is what happens

424
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: when you don't have a bonafide starting franchise quarterback and

425
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 2: the Jets have been living here for a while. I mean,

426
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: you could say are Rogers was the guy the last

427
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: couple of years, Okay, fine, Like there wasn't a controversy

428
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 2: there as to whether you're going to replace him in

429
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: the lineup, But I mean, far too many years have

430
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: been gobbled up by quarterback uncertainty and New York and

431
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: it looks like they're right back there again. So and

432
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: it's not like they didn't have high draft choices the

433
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 2: last few years. If you wanted a draft one, I

434
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: had an opportunity to do so they chose not to.

435
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you're drafting pass rushers in back to back years,

436
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: you know, Jermaine Johnson, Will McDonald, you know, both guys

437
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: in the top half of round one, you know, along

438
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: with along with offensive tackles, which I get, you know,

439
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: assemble your line before you get the franchise quarterback. And

440
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: maybe they do that this year.

441
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 3: Yeah you taken this year? Are you gonna play the

442
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 3: song and dance where we're just gonna jump around between

443
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: quarterbacks and hope that we get a good quarterback in

444
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six?

445
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: And maybe your question, hey you sign Justin Fields to

446
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: a two year deal. Maybe they don't care because they're

447
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 2: already planning to draft a quarterback next year. He stays

448
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: on as a backup. I don't know, it's as usual.

449
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: It's messy in New York as and then the final

450
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: note here it looks like the Colts, who are without

451
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 2: their top nickel corner Kenny Moore, are gonna sign free

452
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: agent cornerback Mike Hilton, who has played for Colts defensive

453
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: coordinator lou Anarumo in Cincinnati for several years. So it

454
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: looks like they're going to bring him in to play

455
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 2: nickel for them in the absence of more Who's going

456
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: to be out I guess a few more weeks with

457
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 2: an injury, So Mike Hilton is now employed and back

458
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Looks like he is going to be

459
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 2: playing for the Colts as soon as this week, possibly

460
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: at the nickel spot for them. So that is around

461
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: the NFL. A question on the table for you today

462
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: during this three hour edition on a Buffalo Football Monday,

463
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: is what does the first three weeks tell you about

464
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: the Bills and their standing in the AFC. As we

465
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 2: told you, there are only three AFC teams that are

466
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 2: unbeaten right now. It's the Chargers, Indie, and the Bills.

467
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: So what does that tell you based on the hierarchy

468
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: of the AFC? What does it tell you about the

469
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: Bills specifically eight oh three five point fifty one eight

470
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five fifty. Those are the numbers

471
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 2: to jump on board with us. And we do have

472
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 2: open lines for you, so we will take a break here,

473
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 2: but be back and be taking your phone calls when

474
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,080

Speaker 2: Colida Helped It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right back here

477
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live. On a Buffalo Football Monday, Chris Brown,

478
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: Maddi glab with you, And we want to before we

479
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: get to the phones, check in on the standings, find

480
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: out who is raising the roof presented by Stellar Roofing

481
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: when quality counts, choose Stellar. And as we know, the

482
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: Bills are three and oh so they are obviously atop

483
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 2: the AFC East and in these AFC standings, as we

484
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: told you in the last segment, there's only three undefeated

485
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 2: teams in the AFC. Chargers, Bills, Colts. Cincinnati improved to

486
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: two and one. They beat the Vikings in the battle

487
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: of backup quarterbacks. Pittsburgh Jacksonville also two and one. I

488
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 2: would say Jacksonville's probably the biggest surprise there. Baltimore one

489
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: in one, but they're playing tonight, tough home game against

490
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 2: the Lions game. I know I am going to be

491
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: glued to that, so I think we all know who

492
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: will be rooting for. Come on, Dan Campbell. And then

493
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: you see everybody else in the hunt there and Jets

494
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 2: Miami zero to three, Patriots one and two. So the

495
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: division is already trailing considerably behind the Bills. I would

496
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: say the other division that is pretty sorry right now

497
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: is the NFC South. It's like the Bucks and everybody else.

498
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: I really I cannot wrap my head around the Falcons, Matty,

499
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: I just cannot wrap my head around it. So many

500
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: top flight talents at the skill positions, including Michael Pennix

501
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: and he gets benched yesterday. They bring Kirk Cousins in

502
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: because it looks that bad, Like wow, I just how

503
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 2: bad is the NFC South? Yes, aside from Tampa.

504
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: So after Week two, the Falcons get the win against

505
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 3: the Vikings twenty two to six, and we're having a

506
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 3: conversation back in our area, which there's a lot of

507
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: conversations about teams, about the NFL, about sports in general.

508
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 3: That happened throughout the week, and some people in that

509
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: area we're happy with how the Falcons were playing. I'm like,

510
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 3: come on, do you know the weapons that they have

511
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 3: that are not being used right now? This should be

512
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 3: a good offense. Yes, you have Michael Pennox with some

513
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 3: question marks there, but you have one of the best

514
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 3: running backs in the league, and you have some other

515
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: pieces that you could be using. I don't know. It'll

516
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 3: be interesting to see when Buffalo plays them in a

517
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. Yeah, what type of version are you

518
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: going to get or did they already show the version

519
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: that they're going to be this year?

520
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what to expect. It might be

521
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins as starting quarterback by the time the Bills

522
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: get there, you know, to the to the Falcons game.

523
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 2: I mean it's only three weeks away, two weeks away,

524
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: two and a half weeks away. Yeah, and that's a

525
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 2: Monday night game too, So that'll be interesting. And I

526
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: just I'm just gonna say this. I have a lot

527
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: of people that I went to college with who live

528
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: down there. Yep, there is going to be a lot

529
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 2: of red, white and blue in Mercedes Benz don't for

530
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: that Monday night game. I already know a slew of people,

531
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: at least I know at least two dozen people that

532
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: are going to that game that are going to be

533
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: wearing Bill's red, white, and blue. So that might be

534
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: a that is a potential takeover game. The Carolina game

535
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: is a guaranteed takeover game because I'm telling you, like

536
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: back in the mid nineties, when my friends and everybody

537
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: were getting out of college, the economy here was not great,

538
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: and so a lot of people just went south for

539
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: jobs and then ended up living down there. And you

540
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: know those people are you know all they have family,

541
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: they have kids, and they stayed down there, and they

542
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: also stayed Bills fans, and they are going to that game.

543
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: I am telling you the Carolina game is going to

544
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: be a mob scene. Not to mention the fact that

545
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: it's a direct flight from here, so even if you're here,

546
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: it's an easy game to get to. Carolina game is

547
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: a definite takeover game. I think there's the potential for

548
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: the Falcons game to be a takeover game. But let's

549
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: get to the phones at eight oh three, five point

550
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: fifty one eighty eight, five point fifty two, five fifty

551
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: the numbers to join us. What do the first three

552
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: weeks tell us about the Bills And they're standing in

553
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 2: the AFC. Leading us off today is Roger in Jamestown.

554
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: What's up, Roger?

555
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 6: Hi, how are you doing good? Just wanted to let

556
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 6: you know my first game was nineteen seventy seven there Okay,

557
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 6: been a fan ever since. And two things. I think

558
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 6: Bosa was a great move, okay. And I think that

559
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 6: we just look like we've got a lot of confidence

560
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 6: this year.

561
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: Okay, what what do you think these first three games?

562
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: Say though about the Bills in this team? And maybe

563
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: what do you think of the AFC standing so far?

564
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 6: I just think we look really good and we're gonna

565
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 6: be able to hopefully take it all away.

566
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, fair enough, Roger. I mean he's he

567
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 2: likes the Bosa signing. We've noticed Bosa like through the

568
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: first three weeks. I think that's fair enough to say.

569
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: I think he's been their most consistent pass rusher. It

570
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: was a little troubling to see them unable to get

571
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: home last week against the Dolphins, especially when Tua did

572
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: not get the ball out as quickly as he usually does,

573
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: and with two backups on the right side of the

574
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: offensive line. And here's the other thing, Maddy, I go

575
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: back to look at the game. I go back to

576
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: review the game last Thursday, and I wanted to watch

577
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: the play where Bernard makes the interception and Dion Walker

578
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: gets the pass pressure. He beats a third string right guard,

579
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: Daniel brun Skill is in the game, I believe, playing

580
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: right guard, and he was not the guy that was

581
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: supposed to start there. It's Keon Smith, who's the second

582
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: string right guard. So at that stage of the game,

583
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: the backup right guard is out. I mean, thank goodness,

584
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: because Dion Walker makes a third stringer, you know, look

585
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: ordinary and gets the pass pressure that forces two or

586
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: to throw it early, you know, and TV steps in

587
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: front of it for the I int and basically the

588
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: ability to seal the game. But I really thought the

589
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: pass rush was gonna be very effective in a home atmosphere,

590
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: road atmosphere for that Miami offensive line and to a

591
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: holding onto the ball longer than he usually does.

592
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's one of the fastest NFL players

593
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: to throw the football, I think the fastest if you

594
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: look at his numbers, and the pocket was closing, but

595
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: then it was okay, two is going to keep rolling

596
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: behind the line of scrimmage and then at the last

597
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: second is going to throw it and complete a pass.

598
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: It was a little bit frustrating there, for sure. And

599
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: I think the defensive line obviously knows that. I think

600
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 3: they've heard it from defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage that they

601
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 3: have to be better. I think the first three weeks

602
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 3: of the season, this defensive line is figuring out who

603
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: are we going to be without Michael Hoyt and Larry

604
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: Ogan Joby. For the first six weeks of the season,

605
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: you look at some of the snap counts, Joey Bosa

606
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: played an eighty seven percent of the snaps. That is

607
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: a huge number for him. Babbich was asked about it,

608
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: and Babbie said, we have to get that figured out.

609
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: That is too high of a number for Bosa. But

610
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 3: right now we're down guys with Ed Oliver being hurt,

611
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: you got Dwayne Carter out for the season. You've got

612
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: these two guys who are suspended who aren't back yet.

613
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: So they're kind of doing it with few pieces. But

614
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 3: you need to figure out how to do it with

615
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: few pieces if you want to be the number one

616
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: seed in the AFC.

617
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: And I think when Hoyd is back, Bosa's number will

618
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 2: come down considerably, especially on non obvious passing downs, so

619
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: to speak. But we're not there yet, so you got

620
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: three games before you get there, so we'll have to

621
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: see how they manage that going forward. Let's go to

622
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: Chris in Toronto next. What's up, Chris?

623
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 10: Hey, how you guys doing it a good good? I

624
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 10: think it was actually a treat to kind of have

625
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 10: the Bills play Thursday, you know, watching the games this weekend,

626
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 10: I think it's just put the Bills a little bit

627
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 10: further ahead than I think a lot of the critics

628
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 10: out there give them credit for. You know, they I

629
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 10: know it was a pretty close game at halftime, but

630
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 10: the Bills were dominant. I thought the first half. They

631
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 10: you know, they can move the ball up and down

632
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 10: the field with the best of them in the NFL.

633
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 10: And you know, seeing Green Bay go down, you know,

634
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 10: Baltimore wasn't super impressive in the second week though. You know,

635
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 10: I think at the end of the year, you know,

636
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 10: our defense is only going to get better. It will

637
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 10: likely come down to Baltimore looking at you know, how

638
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 10: poor the Chiefs played this weekend and through the first

639
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 10: you know, three four weeks or three weeks of the season,

640
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 10: you know, a lot could happen, right, and with a

641
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 10: thirty one year old, thirty two year old running back

642
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 10: on Baltimore. You know, it's a long season, you know that.

643
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 10: That's really the only thing that scares me.

644
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 11: Either.

645
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 10: Their offense is dominant, more impressive.

646
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 12: You know.

647
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 10: I know, Jets, Dolph, the Olts we should beat, but

648
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 10: we beat them, right. Look at Green Bay this weekend,

649
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 10: perfect example.

650
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. The Bill's ability to still post

651
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: victories when they're not playing their best or everything is

652
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: in clicking on all cylinders. There is something to be

653
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: said for that. Philadelphia has kind of done some of

654
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 2: that also, right, like defending Super Bowl champs. They're also

655
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: three and zero, They're down nineteen points. In the fourth quarter,

656
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: they blocked two field goals, return one for a touchdown,

657
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: and that's how they win by six.

658
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 3: Find a way to close out a game when you

659
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 3: know you're the better team at the end of the day.

660
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: I think. Talking with Bobby Babbage on Friday when he

661
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: spoke to media, he was asked about that Trel Bernard interception,

662
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: and Babbage said, I wasn't surprised at all. This is

663
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: our captain on defense. He knows he needed to make

664
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: a play. Or somebody on defense needed to make a play.

665
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 3: They did. They gave the ball right back to our

666
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: offense and it was the end of the game. From

667
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 3: there being able to kick another field goal and really

668
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 3: seal the deal. It's awesome to see this team answer

669
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 3: now more than once in just three weeks, you need

670
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 3: a defensive play here. It is.

671
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't think we should dismiss this either

672
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: out of hand. It's like the Bills. I don't want

673
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: to say sleepwalk, but the Bills can just somehow, some way.

674
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: You look up at the scoreboard at the end of

675
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: the game and they've got thirty points. And I know

676
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: a lot of people weren't thrilled with some of the

677
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: lulls in the play of the offense through the middle

678
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 2: stretches of that game, particularly in the third quarter when

679
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: they had a three and out and then I think

680
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: a six and out, and the game stayed tight because

681
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 2: of that, And you get to the end of the game,

682
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: it's a double digit victory and they score over thirty points. Again, yeah,

683
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: and it's part it's due in part, I think also

684
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: to the way in which they've been able to take

685
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 2: care of the football and again win or not lose O.

686
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: I should say the turnover margin. You know, they're a

687
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: plus one in this game. It's a critical takeaway in

688
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and they don't turn it over themselves.

689
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: I think in the last somebody put this stat out

690
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: and I haven't double checked it, but I believe it

691
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: was Colin Coward, so I'll give credit where it's due

692
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 2: and hope he's accurate with this. In the last twelve

693
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: games for the Bills, Josh Allen has thirty total touchdowns

694
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: on offense and one pick. Geez, that's it, Like good luck.

695
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: Even if the Bills aren't playing their best, If they

696
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: take care of the football like that and Josh remains

697
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: that productive on offense, good luck like beating that team.

698
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 3: It has been so impressive to watch Josh Allen lead

699
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: this offense to start the season. Last year, you were

700
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: still seeing that hero ball in parts and in specific games.

701
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 3: But this year, to start the season, even when things

702
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: aren't going their way, Allen is not trying to push

703
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 3: the ball down the field. He is giving what the

704
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 3: defense takes him, and that makes defense so frustrated. I

705
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: think watching it in the Miami game, I mean, he

706
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: was working the linebackers and was giving the ball to

707
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: donkin Kaid, to Kolo Shakirs, to guys underneath where there

708
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 3: was open space, and not trying to do too much

709
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 3: with it. I think that just says so much about

710
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 3: how he's grown as a quarterback in eight seasons in

711
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 3: the league. That's not easy to do when you want

712
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: to play the big ball game and you want to

713
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 3: chuck it down the field and score fifty points every game.

714
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 3: But he's okay with finding a way to get to

715
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 3: thirty one at the end of the game.

716
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's developed over the last two years a sense

717
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: of patience to just take what the defense gives him.

718
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 2: They're basically forcing him to play conservatively, and I think

719
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: he's done well in accepting that instead of trying to

720
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 2: get it all in one play. That's where he has

721
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 2: really matured, and I think that's one of the main

722
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 2: reasons his turnover rate has come down so sharply. Let's

723
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 2: go to Kevin in Hamburg next. What's up, Kevin?

724
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, how you doing. Thanks for taking my call.

725
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 13: I think in the first three weeks the offense is phenomenal.

726
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 13: Josh puts on the cape when he has to, but

727
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 13: not when he don't have to. But the defense still

728
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 13: worried me as well as other especially against those slippery people,

729
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 13: like slippery people like you know, like the Jalen Waddles

730
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 13: and the Tyreek Hills and a couple of weeks, I know,

731
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 13: the Falcons got killed yesterday against Pennix. You know he's sunk,

732
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 13: but that's a rivalry game. B John Robinson, Tampa Bay.

733
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 13: We played Mike Evans in November. Those are the teams

734
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 13: that would make me sweat more than you know what

735
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 13: I mean, those slippery guys and can go in and

736
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 13: out like like snakes, go like a slippery snake. You

737
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 13: know what I'm saying.

738
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying, Kevin. And look, there are

739
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 2: things for the defense to fix. I don't think there's

740
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: any question about that, but I think you have to

741
00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 2: understand the circumstances surrounding the defense as well. You've got

742
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: a little bit of a new approach where they're not

743
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: playing attack up the field with the defensive front no

744
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 2: matter what. They're playing a little more read and react

745
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 2: than just attack up the field because I think they

746
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: felt there was a deficiency in their run defense because

747
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 2: of that philosophy. So they're playing a little more read

748
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: and react at times, not all the time. They'll still

749
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 2: go up the field on certain down and distance calls,

750
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 2: but I think that mixed bag approach up front makes

751
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: them harder to gain plan against. They're learning that it's

752
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: new for a lot of those guys up there. You're

753
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: also not playing with all the bullets in the chamber.

754
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 2: No Ed Oliver, no Matt Malano, no Max Hairston, who

755
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 2: I think, in an ideal world with a good training

756
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: camp in preseason would have been your Week one starter

757
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 2: opposite Christian Benford. But that goes up in smoke early

758
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: in camp because of an LCL knee injury. So I

759
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: think what we have to to do here is just

760
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 2: be a little bit patient and see how the defense

761
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 2: comes along with each passing week, not only as the

762
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: players on that unit get more comfortable, but as the

763
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: unit hopefully gets more gets healthier, and we see what

764
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: the results are. Then I mean that's kind of what

765
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 2: we have to I know it's hard because because this

766
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: team was twenty ninth and third down defense in last week,

767
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: they give up ten conversions on fifteen tries for the

768
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 2: Dolphins on offense. I get it, but they're still getting takeaways.

769
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: I think they've shown an ability to be better against

770
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: the run. It's not consistent yet, but I think it

771
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: will get there because again, we can fall back on

772
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 2: the player development that has existed here. I think we can.

773
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: I think it's safe and acceptable to expect the defense

774
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,959
Speaker 2: to get better with each passing week.

775
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 3: At one point during the Dolphins game, it was eight

776
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: of ten on third down conversions. They fixed it to

777
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 3: be two of five, so you saw a little bit

778
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: of improvement there as the game went on. Definitely something

779
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 3: the coaches are going to harp on this week, though.

780
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, but more of your phone

781
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: calls when we return on a Buffalo Football Monday here

782
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live stay with.

783
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 14: Us, He's Snap to twenty the ten to five touchdowns

784
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 14: snap Dragon Apples this Bill's season head to Wegmans and

785
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 14: other local retailers to experience the epic flavor and monster

786
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 14: crunch of Snapdragon apples, the official apples of your Buffalo Bills.

787
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: I actually saw are they out? I saw Snappy out

788
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: at the out on the Billivard last Thursday giving out

789
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: free bags of apple slices. So he is a red dragon.

790
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: He's hard to miss, So keep your eye out for

791
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 2: the home I want.

792
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: I want Snappy and Billy to do a meetup. Oh

793
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 3: Red Dragon, Blue Buffalo's Yeah.

794
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: That would get them in a ring. Maybe have a

795
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: wrestling match there, Yeah, with a with a head dress on.

796
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: Just good luck with that.

797
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 7: Uh.

798
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 2: We got to get back to the phones though, at aight.

799
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: Oh three five fifty one eight eight five fifty two

800
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: fifty What has the first three weeks told you about

801
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 2: the Bills and their standing in the AFC. Back to

802
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: the phones we go, and to Tom and East Rochester.

803
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

804
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 4: Tom?

805
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 11: Hi?

806
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 12: Hi, guys? Uh? First of all, I think most importantly,

807
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 12: without a doubt, is getting the number one seed. Like

808
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 12: Thurman told these guys in practice, Josh gets the number

809
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 12: one seed, It's going to make life a lot easier.

810
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 12: I don't think we can beat Baltimore and Baltimore if

811
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 12: you have to play them there, I know we can

812
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 12: beat them, but the games are always close and it

813
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 12: comes down to a final player or something right. And

814
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 12: the other teams, Uh, they're going to battle each other

815
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 12: in their division and this they're time to stack some

816
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 12: wins and separate ourselves from everybody.

817
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 9: Else.

818
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 12: And I do think if we do get that number

819
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 12: one seed, it can be very hard for someone to

820
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 12: come in here and beat us.

821
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that, Tom, And we've talked

822
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 2: about this at length, Maddy, because one of the rain

823
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 2: one of the main reasons the Chiefs have gotten to

824
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: five of the last six Super Bowls is because they've

825
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 2: gotten the number one scene. Every year off they get,

826
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: they're playing one less playoff game than everybody else. They

827
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about somebody getting injured in a

828
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: wild card game, they don't have to worry about beating

829
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 2: an opponent in a wild card game. They just wait

830
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: and see whoever's left that they get at home. While

831
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: they're sitting at home, resting their bodies and preparing two

832
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 2: weeks essentially for an opponent, because you have to believe

833
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 2: that coaching staff is putting together a game plan for

834
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 2: this possible opponent, and putting a game plan together for

835
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 2: this possible opponent, and they already are ready to roll

836
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 2: going in and their body feels a lot fresher than

837
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 2: the team that was just laying it on the line

838
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 2: for the wildcard game.

839
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 3: And how many times are we looking around in the

840
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 3: playoffs at our players and down down this guy down

841
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 3: to rel Bernard down, Christian Benford, down down, whoever.

842
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: Douglas Taylor rap. Yeah, like everybody was out. Yeah, it's frustrating,

843
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 2: and that that is eliminated when you don't have to

844
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: play in the wildcard round. So yes, I agree, the

845
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: one seed is a huge advantage because what it essentially

846
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 2: means is Baltimore is playing somebody in the wildcard round

847
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: before they would even come here, and that might not

848
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 2: even happen until an AFC title game anyway. So Baltimore's

849
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 2: playing two games, you're only playing one to get to

850
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: the AFC title and that's it's a huge advantage. In

851
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: Kansas City has hogged it the last five or six.

852
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: Years, starting zero to two for the season.

853
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, one and two now after.

854
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: Now after a win against the Giants, rinded out win.

855
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: I don't know those are in the driver's seat right now.

856
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: Yep, let's just hope. He continues to Frank in Woodstock.

857
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 15: Next, what's up, Frank, Hey, Chris mad love the show. Thanks, Uh,

858
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 15: just a couple of things and then I'll hang up.

859
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 15: I was a little concerned about the defense, especially with

860
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 15: Miami when they kept lighting Alatto get that third down

861
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 15: and long they would hold them and then they'd.

862
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 7: Play him soft. Yeah, and I did it. It's divisional.

863
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 7: The division games are always tough. And one other thing,

864
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 7: I think every now and then they should throw something

865
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 7: downfield and maybe loosen things up with the tight ends

866
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 7: up the middle and all that stuff. I don't know,

867
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 7: that's just my opinion. Anyways, this is a personal question.

868
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 7: Who's got the bigger wardrobe, you, Maddie or Steve as

869
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 7: far as bills wear shirts, sweatshirts, you know, all that

870
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 7: kind of stuff.

871
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: It's not even close, Frank, it's Steve. I think Steve

872
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: has an entire Bill's closet like it. I mean, as

873
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: we joke, it's the Tasker compound. So you know, he

874
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: had a had five kids, so he needed a big house.

875
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: He still lives in that house, and I am convinced

876
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 2: one of his kid's old closets is full of all

877
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: of his bills, golf, polo shirts, quarter zips, pullovers. He's got.

878
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: I don't I would bet would I would be willing

879
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 2: to bet that Maddie's Bill's gear and my Bills gear combined.

880
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you say, Tasker has so much gear that at

881
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 3: this point when we get to do gear orders and

882
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 3: get some new stuff every season, sometimes he doesn't even

883
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 3: put in for a gear order because he has too

884
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 3: much gear.

885
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 8: Yeah.

886
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 2: Actually this year he's like, yeah, I put in for

887
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 2: a because we get an allotment. You can you can

888
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: hit a certain threshold in terms of what the value

889
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 2: of the gear is and that's it. Everything else after

890
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: that comes out of your pocket. So Steve basically this

891
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 2: year said yeah, I didn't really need much, so I

892
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: got four pair of shorts. I was like what, And

893
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 2: so yeah, he comes in some times and says, yeah,

894
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 2: forgot to have this kind of pulled it out of

895
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: the back. I was like, you forgot you. He forgets

896
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 2: more of the stuff that he has than the stuff

897
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: that we have, but he's had a longer period of time,

898
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: I guess to accumulate over the years. In fairness, got

899
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,479
Speaker 2: to take a break here, but when we come back,

900
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 2: our number two is going to begin with our good

901

Speaker 2: join us. We'll have him help give us a lay

903
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: of the land of the NFL after three weeks as well,

904
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 2: including his thoughts on the Bills when we get back,

905
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: stay with.

906
00:47:32,120 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: Us these one Bills Lives presented by Calledlida.

907
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 2: Help all right, Here we are our number two on

908
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 2: a Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown, Matti lab with you

909
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: and happy to welcome in now as we try to

910
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: get an assessment of just what each conference looks like

911
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 2: after three weeks in here in the NFL regular season

912
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Yahoo Sports senior NFL writer Frank Schwab

913
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: joining us also co host of the Yahoo Sports Inside

914
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: Coverage podcast. So, Frank, thanks for giving us some time.

915
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. I guess why don't we just kind of

916
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 2: ask what's top of mind right now? After three weeks

917
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: of NFL action? What do you think is one of

918
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 2: the bigger headlines for you?

919
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 16: I think the fact that we're you know, we're kind

920
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 16: of down to six undefeated teams already. It just doesn't

921
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 16: seem like there's a lot of great teams out there,

922
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 16: the Bills being one of them. I mean, the Bills

923
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 16: are bona fide super Bowl. I don't know who else

924
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 16: I really put in that bucket. Maybe the Chargers, maybe

925
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 16: we're there. The Chiefs are showing a lot of flaws.

926
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 16: The Texans have fallen off the planet. The I still

927
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 16: think the Ravens are gonna be there. The Eagles obviously

928
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 16: pretty good, even though they didn't they haven't really looked

929
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 16: great in three weeks. The Packers are gonna be fine,

930
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 16: but they just lost to the Browns. Like you just

931
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 16: go on and on and you realize how tough it

932
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 16: is in the NFL week to week. If you're three

933
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 16: and o right now, like Buffalo is, you feel pretty good.

934
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 4: You've avoided all the land mines. You haven't lost to

935
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 4: the Browns.

936
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 16: You haven't you know, you haven't gotten blown out by

937
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 16: somebody like Lions, did you. You didn't blow a game

938
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 16: in a fourth quarter like the Ravens did. It's just

939
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 16: hard to you think about, like the Patriots going sixteen

940
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 16: and oh, you know, eighteen years ago, and how ridiculous

941
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 16: it is just to get to three and.

942
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 4: Oh in the NFL these days.

943
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 16: That kind of stands out to me that there just

944
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 16: aren't many bona fide Super Bowl contenders right now.

945
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 3: One team who is three and oh in the AFC

946
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 3: are the India Indianapolis Colts. How surprised are you that?

947
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones has led this team to be undefeated through

948
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 3: three weeks of play.

949
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 16: Pretty stunned. I mean, look, I didn't think Daniel Jones

950
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 16: was going to do this. I don't think many people

951
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 16: thought Daniel.

952
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 4: Jones was going to do this.

953
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 16: But the one thing about the Colts is last year

954
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 16: they went eight to nine with the thirty first best

955
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 16: passer rating in the NFL. So if you just think, okay,

956
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 16: if we get up the twentieth best quarterback play in

957
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 16: the NFL, maybe we could be a pretty good team.

958
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 16: They've always had talent. Jonathan Taylor's unbelievable. That defense has

959
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 16: some pieces, they have some good linemen, some good pass catchers.

960
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 16: They just need a decent quarterback play. Shane Steichen's showing

961
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 16: he's a pretty darn good coach. I'm still a little

962
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 16: skeptical of the Colts keeping this up. I mean, yeah,

963
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 16: I mean, they played great, but they beat the Dolphins,

964
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 16: they beat the Titans.

965
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 4: The Broncos win is legit. I'll give them that. I

966
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 4: don't know.

967
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 16: I don't really put the Colts in that bucket of

968
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 16: a Super Bowl contender, though. I don't look at them

969
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 16: as Wow, the Bill's better watch out in the playoffs.

970
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 4: Better watch out. The Colts are coming. Not yet anyway.

971
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 16: I'm still a little skeptical of them. But hey, three

972
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 16: and I'll start. Given all the ups and downs of

973
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 16: the preseason, the Anthony Richardson stuff, Shane Stike and being

974
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 16: on the hot seat a little bit coming into the season,

975
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 16: they couldn't ask for anything better right now. This has

976
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 16: been a really, really good start for them.

977
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Chiefs are a team that everybody usually keeps

978
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: their eye on because somehow, someway, they found their way

979
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 2: to the one set each and every year, which has

980
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: been instrumental in helping them get to the Super Bowl

981
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: in five of the last six years. But they're not

982
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 2: in the driver's seat right now. We're only three games in,

983
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 2: but oh and two start. They managed to eat gut

984
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 2: out a win last night, even though their offense still

985
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 2: looks like a series of fits and starts, and I

986
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 2: think we all anticipate it will get better when Rashid

987
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 2: Rice gets back from suspension, but running the football is

988
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 2: still a major problem for them. They have offensive line

989
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: deficiency still on the edges, and even their defense, you know,

990
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 2: is arguing with one another during the course of a game.

991
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 2: Like I think we all expect it to get better.

992
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: But but I don't know if the ceiling is as

993
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 2: high as it's been in recent years for them on

994
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 2: that side of the ball. What do you think?

995
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, and you know, I agree with you that it'll

996
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 16: look better when Hera she Rice is back because presumably

997
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 16: by then Xavier worthies back too. But you look, they

998
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 16: the three games they have remaining, they play the Ravens,

999
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 16: they play the Lions, and they play at the Jaguars.

1000
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 16: Are they gonna They're not gonna win all three of

1001
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 16: those games?

1002
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 4: I don't think. Do they win one?

1003
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 16: And then you know you're two and four after six

1004
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 16: games with the Chargers. Look at really really good so

1005
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 16: far and already have a winning hand against you, And

1006
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 16: I just don't know how big of a hole the

1007
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 16: Chiefs can dig themselves and get out of this. Say

1008
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 16: this is they could be by the time where she

1009
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 16: Rice comes back, they could be three plus games behind

1010
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 16: an AFC West already. That's definitely on the table for them.

1011
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 16: It struck me last night watching them, this has just

1012
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 16: turned into a boring team. This is not a fun

1013
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 16: team to watch. It's like the Patriots dynasty. Think about

1014
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 16: the way that went in the first few years Brady

1015
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,240
Speaker 16: Brady was solid, right.

1016
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 4: But he wasn't.

1017
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 16: They were putting up a ton of points. They were

1018
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 16: just grinding out wins. Defense are great, of course, but

1019
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 16: that changed two thousand and seven and on Brady became

1020
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 16: Brady and they became fun to watch. This Chiefs team

1021
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 16: is going in reverse. This Chiefs team used to be.

1022
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 4: So much fun to watch.

1023
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 16: Patter Mahomes fifty touchdowns and here's Tyreek and here's Prime

1024
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 16: Kelsey and here.

1025
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 4: Now it's every yard they get as a struggle. Every yard.

1026
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 16: It is just so labored with everything they do on offense.

1027
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 16: And yes, I assume it gets better when Rashi Rice

1028
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 16: and xaver Worthy are back, but I don't even know

1029
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 16: if that's guaranteed. Like, I just don't know. I don't

1030
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 16: know where the Chiefs are going. I hate to write

1031
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 16: them off because they're the Kansas City Chiefs and it's

1032
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 16: still my Homes, it's still Andy Reid. But this team

1033
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 16: just there's not a lot of pop there right now.

1034
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 3: Well, one team in the AFC West who has a

1035
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 3: lot of pop, the Los Angeles Chargers three and oho.

1036
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 3: To start the season. You talked about the Chiefs next

1037
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 3: few weeks being tough weeks the next three weeks for

1038
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 3: the Chargers, the Giants, the Commander's Dolphins. So you got

1039
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 3: a tough game in there, but the Giants and the Dolphins,

1040
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 3: the way you're playing, those should be wins for you.

1041
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 3: What is it impressed you most about the Chargers right now?

1042
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1043
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 16: And it's funny we always talk about the schedule that

1044
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 16: way too, like, oh, the Packers get the Browns this week,

1045
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 16: they're gonna be three, and oh, you know it is

1046
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 16: the NFL, But I get it.

1047
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 4: Yes, they are in line.

1048
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 16: To get out to a very big head start on

1049
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 16: the Chiefs, especially with that win against them.

1050
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 4: I think easily that the answer is Justin Herbert.

1051
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 16: I think that if I had to vote on MVP

1052
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 16: after three weeks, as ridiculous as that sounds, obviously, Josh

1053
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 16: Allen's up there, Lamar Jackson's up there, great, I think

1054
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 16: I'd vote for Justin Herbert though. I just think he

1055
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 16: has been excellent. He has played so well. That pass

1056
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 16: he made to tie the game yesterday, rolling to his

1057
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 16: left after getting out of a sack, the arm angle

1058
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 16: he had getting that ball to Keenan Allen. Go watch

1059
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 16: that replay again It's one of the best throws you're

1060
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 16: ever going to see.

1061
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 4: And I know it was only twenty five yards or whatever.

1062
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 16: It wasn't one of those rockets sixty seventy yards down field,

1063
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 16: but it was so impressive the way he delivered the

1064
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 16: ball got out of pressure. I couldn't be more impressed

1065
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 16: with Justin Herbert right now, and I think the coaching

1066
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 16: staff is oppressed with him too. The Chargers have become

1067
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 16: a pass heavy team. I think that Jim Harbor is

1068
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 16: a great coach. He's very smart. Greg Roman is offensive coordinator.

1069
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 16: They know what they're doing, and they said, look, this

1070
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 16: guy's ready to make the lead, this guy's ready to

1071
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 16: become an elite, elite quarterback. We are going to come

1072
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 16: out and pass the ball. We're going to pass the

1073
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 16: heck out of the ball. We're not a running team anymore.

1074
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,479
Speaker 16: We're a Justin Herbert team. I think he's answered that call.

1075
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 16: The fact that they're three and zero. I would again,

1076
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 16: I no disrespect to Alan, no disrespect to Lamar or

1077
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 16: anybody else who's playing well right now.

1078
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,479
Speaker 4: But I think right now Justin Herbert sam vpead the league.

1079
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 2: And then meanwhile, the situation is much different over in

1080
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 2: the NFC for Atlanta. I mean, they give the keys

1081
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 2: to the offense to Michael Pennix and this year, you know,

1082
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: he's the guy. Here we go and it is not

1083
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 2: going well, to the point where he got sat down yesterday,

1084
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: and you know, they put Kirk Cousins into the game.

1085
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 2: And I'm stupefied by this. Frank, help me understand this,

1086
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 2: because I under staying their offensive line isn't a juggernaut group.

1087
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: I get that part of it. But you have arguably

1088
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 2: the best running back in football behind you to demand

1089
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 2: eight man boxes at times, so you should have one

1090
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 2: on one stuff on the outside at times during every

1091
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: game every week. And you have Drake London and Kyle

1092
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 2: Pitts to throw to. And Mooney's not that bad either,

1093
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 2: So help me understand why this team cannot make plays

1094
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 2: in the passing game and why they can't put points

1095
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 2: on the board consistently, because I don't get it.

1096
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of unbelievable.

1097
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 16: I the Carolina Panthers have one of the worst defenses

1098
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 16: of football. I'm not changing my stance on that. And

1099
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 16: the Falcons didn't even pass a thirty yard line yesterday,

1100
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 16: like it was a miserable game for them, and you

1101
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 16: do start questioning Pennix at this point. I liked him

1102
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 16: coming out of college. I thought he did some good

1103
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 16: things last year, but I also in the back of

1104
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 16: my mind was like, it's three games and he was fine,

1105
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 16: Like he had some good moments, but it was like

1106
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,399
Speaker 16: Patrick Mahomes last game of the twenty seventeen that heason,

1107
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 16: where you're like, oh, my goodness, this guy. It was like, Okay,

1108
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 16: Michael Peni's played well, but it just seems like we

1109
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 16: anointed him so fast, like, oh yeah, Michael Penix, he's

1110
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 16: their own question starter.

1111
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 4: And he just hasn't played.

1112
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 16: He did play well in Week one, but he has

1113
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 16: not played well in the last two weeks, once against

1114
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 16: a tough defense and once against one of the worst

1115
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 16: defenses of football. And I don't even know what to

1116
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 16: make of it. And the fact that they even put

1117
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 16: Kirk in yesterday, I thought, honestly, I thought it was

1118
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 16: a mistake. The game was over at that point and

1119
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 16: all you're doing is inviting questions. All you're doing is

1120
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 16: now there's a talking point for all of us all week, like, oh,

1121
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 16: they benched Michael Pennox for Kirk Cousins. Are they going

1122
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 16: to make a change now? Raheem's got to answer questions

1123
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 16: about that during the week. Why open that can of worms?

1124
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 4: It doesn't help your young quarterbacks confidence in any way.

1125
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 4: But he's not playing well.

1126
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 16: Like you said, they have way too much talent on

1127
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 16: offense to be this bad on offense.

1128
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 4: I think the Buccaneers that run away with that division.

1129
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 16: I said it before the season, and I'll say it now.

1130
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 16: I think Buccaneers win that division by five games. Like

1131
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 16: there's no other good team in the NFC South. The

1132
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 16: Buccaneers might not be great yet either, but at least

1133
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 16: are winning games. I can't say that about anybody else.

1134
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was saying the NFC South is a lot

1135
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 2: like the AFC East in terms of separation from the

1136
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 2: top team to the other three.

1137
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 16: Speaking of oh, absolutely, the Bills might the Bills might

1138
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 16: clinch this thing by what like Halloween. It seems like

1139
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 16: like we all thought maybe the Patriot No, no, no,

1140
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 16: everybody in that division. Yeah, the the Bills might win

1141
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 16: that division by what's a record like, because they might

1142
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 16: set it.

1143
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 4: They might win that division by seven eight games? Is crazy?

1144
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,479
Speaker 4: How bad the AFC East is right now?

1145
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 3: We were talking about it too. I mean, you look

1146
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 3: at the way the Eagles are playing the Bills and

1147
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 3: the Eagles play each other in week seventeen? Is that

1148
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 3: game going to matter for either team? By week seventeen?

1149
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 3: If the Bills continue to roll throughout the season as

1150
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 3: well as the Eagles, you might have the Seeds locked

1151
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,479
Speaker 3: up by then, depending on what the Chiefs do. Yes,

1152
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 3: depending on the Chargers and the Ravens as well. But

1153
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see you mentioned the Bucks there.

1154
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 3: They played the Jets yesterday, Aaron Glenn got close to

1155
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 3: having his first win with Tyrod Taylor as the quarterback now.

1156
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 3: Glenn had some interesting things to say after the game

1157
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 3: about Justin Field's status and if they're going to go

1158
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 3: back to Justin Fields once he's cleared from concussion protocol.

1159
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,919
Speaker 3: It was kind of a non answer, and Chris talked

1160
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 3: about earlier he was speaking in the past tense, as

1161
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 3: if Justin Fields was the starter and Tyrod Taylor is

1162
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 3: helping the team almost earn a victory against the Bucks.

1163
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 3: What do you make of the Jets situation through three weeks.

1164
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 16: I'd be stunned if they moved away from Fields and

1165
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 16: Fields was great in Week one. Yeah, Week two was awful,

1166
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 16: legitimately awful, But I think Tyrod played well enough throughout.

1167
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 16: I'm like, whoa, we gotta see what he Ethro a

1168
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 16: pick six? Well, he wasn't great, Like he was fine,

1169
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,959
Speaker 16: Like they had a real chance to win that game.

1170
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,919
Speaker 16: But I don't think it's because of Tyrod, who has

1171
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 16: been a good player throughout his career. Don't get me wrong,

1172
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 16: but I just think Justin Fields gives you a higher

1173
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 16: ceiling and see it through a little bit like pulling

1174
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 16: a plug after three games, one of which Justin Fields

1175
00:59:59,240 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 16: was awesome.

1176
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 4: Man, I just don't think would be right. But you

1177
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 4: never know.

1178
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 16: Like there's some things Tyro brings to the table that

1179
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 16: I'm sure Aron Glenn likes. He's a steady veteran. He

1180
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 16: knows what he's gonna get out of him. You don't

1181
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 16: know what's getting out Justin Field's game the game. He's

1182
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 16: just a very inconsistent player and always has been. So

1183
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 16: it'll be very interesting to see. Yet I'd be stunned

1184
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,439
Speaker 16: at Justin Fields if he's healthy. Isn't there starter again?

1185
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 16: But at only three you start to it's not a

1186
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 16: comfortable place to be in the NFL. Everything's bad when

1187
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 16: you when you're all in three, You're not happy to

1188
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 16: get to facility. You're not sleeping much, you're not eating much,

1189
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 16: You're you're just miserable basically the whole time. So who

1190
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 16: knows Aaron Glenn's thought processes. But yeah, the Jets already

1191
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 16: being all in three two competitive losses, by the way,

1192
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 16: I mean, I think you're gonna be a tough out

1193
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 16: this year, but at only three, you're kind of buried already.

1194
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 16: You're see, like, it's hard for me to imagine New

1195
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 16: York Jet's being a factor this season after starting only three.

1196
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I just think I feel like Aaron Glenn

1197
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 2: is already wrestling with what his record is it? Oh

1198
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 2: and three and needing to inject some positivity in the

1199
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 2: four of a win. And does he feel like, even

1200
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 2: with the limited ceiling, Tyrod brings a functionality to the

1201
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 2: offense that maybe can get us there if we just

1202
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 2: run the football and play good defense. I mean, they're

1203
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 2: at Miami this week, which is a team that's got

1204
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 2: enough of its own problems, but man like Woo, the

1205
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 2: Battle of the uh the Owen threes down there, I

1206
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 2: mean that might be an entertaining game. Just from that perspective.

1207
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're the Jets, don't lose that one.

1208
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 16: I guess if you're the Dolphins too, But I think

1209
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 16: everybody knows a Dolphins stink like. The Dolphins are a

1210
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 16: bad football team, although they compete it hard on Thursday,

1211
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 16: I guess. But yeah, if the Jets go down and

1212
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 16: they lose to the Dolphins, oh man, oh that's gonna

1213
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 16: get so ugly. And yeah, okay, yeah, I think we

1214
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 16: all assume the Dolphins are just on their way to

1215
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 16: a really, really miserable season. The Jets probably are too.

1216
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 16: But oh yeah, if if you go to h and

1217
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 16: four and the loss of the Dolphins, yeah, you're you're

1218
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 16: you're thinking about anything's on the table as far as

1219
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 16: changes go.

1220
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 3: I mean, what about the Houston Texans too, oh and

1221
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 3: three to start the season. They haven't twenty points yet. CJ.

1222
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 3: Stroud looked like this great quarterback earlier in his career.

1223
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on there. What do you

1224
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 3: make of their start?

1225
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I this is a.

1226
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 4: Little extreme, but I don't put any of this on CJ.

1227
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 4: Stroud's play. I really don't.

1228
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 16: I put this on the front office, and I put

1229
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 16: it on the rest of his Texans teammates. Nico Collins

1230
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 16: is awesome. The other nine starters on offense are all

1231
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 16: below average. The Houston Texans are failing CJ. Stroud absolutely positively.

1232
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 16: They have the worst offensive line in football. They have

1233
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 16: no running game to speak of. They really have no

1234
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 16: receiver other Nico Collins, So any defense can figure out

1235
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 16: pretty quickly what their game plan is.

1236
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 8: Going to be.

1237
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 16: Just take Nico out of the game and will be fine.

1238
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 16: He still gets his because he's Nico Collins, but nobody

1239
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 16: else is scaring them. And I just look and say,

1240
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 16: what are the Texans doing. Like every other team when

1241
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 16: you get a young quarterback like that, whether it's Bonix

1242
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 16: and Denver Caleb or whoever, you go, oh, oh my goodness,

1243
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 16: we hit the lottery. We need to build around this guy.

1244
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 16: The Houston Texas have done nothing to help CJ.

1245
01:02:58,480 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 4: Stroud Again.

1246
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 16: CJ struggling, yes, but I look at that as just

1247
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 16: an environment thing. I blame the Texans for that, not CJ.

1248
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 16: But they're in a bad place. That offense is terrible.

1249
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 16: Their entire offense yesterday was basically one fifty hour played.

1250
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 16: Nico Collins and that's it. Like they didn't get in

1251
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 16: the end zone any other time.

1252
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 4: They're own three now.

1253
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 16: I don't think it's gonna get better, even with one

1254
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 16: of the better defenses in the NFL. I just again,

1255
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 16: we talked so much last week about the Bengals are

1256
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 16: failing Joe Burrow and it can't protect him. The Bengals

1257
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 16: supporting cast around Joe Burrow is ten times better than

1258
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 16: c J.

1259
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 4: Stroud supporting cast in Houston.

1260
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 16: Cincinnati has a better offensive line, much better receivers, better

1261
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 16: running game.

1262
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 4: Houston has done nothing to help CJ. Stroud.

1263
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 16: That's the story we should be talking about. How this

1264
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 16: Texans franchise is absolutely failing their own quarterback.

1265
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1266
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't remember the last time where a

1267
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 2: team felt they had a franchise quarterback and then through

1268
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 2: their starting left tackle overboard. You know, Laramie Tunzell gets.

1269
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 4: Strapped the worst offensive line of football last year and

1270
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 4: it got worse. What are you doing?

1271
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 2: What did they throw Laramie Tunsil overboard? They like, we'll

1272
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 2: just draft two or three guys, we'll be fine. And

1273
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 2: then like, and let's not forget too. They punted on

1274
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Bobby Slowick who they summarily blamed for CJ. Stroud's sophomore

1275
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 2: slump season, and now they have Nick Keyley and I

1276
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 2: think it's worse. I think it's worse.

1277
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 4: I think it is too. Yeah, I think it is too.

1278
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 4: It's just again, they have nine below average starters. Nine

1279
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 4: like that. That's criminal. That's criminal what they're doing.

1280
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 2: All right, last one here for you, Frank, and again

1281
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 2: thanks for the time Bills have the Saints up here.

1282
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 2: We know people are gonna have their opinions on that.

1283
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 2: You just went over how bad it's been for New

1284
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 2: Orleans through the first three weeks. They just come back

1285
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 2: from cross country to Seattle and now they got to

1286
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 2: come up here to Buffalo the next week. What do

1287
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 2: Bills fans need to know about the Saints if anything?

1288
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 2: And their own three start here.

1289
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 4: That they're a bad football team.

1290
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 16: I mean honestly they I mean, la Chris Olave is

1291
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 16: a pretty good player, Juwan Johnson's had a good start,

1292
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 16: Alvin Kamara can make plays. But what they did yesterday

1293
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 16: at Seattle is pretty much indicative of who the Saints are.

1294
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 4: That that was just an ugly, ugly game.

1295
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 16: And I can look, anything can happened in the NFL,

1296
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 16: like Dolphins almost won on Thursday night, the Browns went

1297
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 16: on Sunday. And this isn't college where you're getting the

1298
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 16: Citadel and homecoming right like you play tough teams like

1299
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 16: these are still professionals. I can't imagine any scenario in

1300
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 16: which a Buffalo Bills don't win this game. They're probably

1301
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 16: the best team of football right now. The Saints are

1302
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 16: the worst team of football. I know the spread is

1303
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 16: like fifteen and a half. I happen to see that today.

1304
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 16: I don't even know if that's enough. I get is

1305
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 16: this is just gonna be just a debacle. Like the

1306
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 16: only thing you'd worry about is a Bills fan, is

1307
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 16: that they come out a little and they have extra

1308
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 16: rest too. By the way, what did they come out

1309
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 16: a little bit flat? Because you're overlooking this team. That

1310
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 16: does happen in the NFL. It's a long season. But

1311
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 16: talent wise, the Saints cannot.

1312
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 4: Match up like anyway.

1313
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 16: I wonder if the Bills could play their backups and

1314
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 16: compete in this game like there's just no contest on Sunday.

1315
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 2: Frank, thanks for the time, we appreciate it. Enjoy Week

1316
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 2: four action. This week we'll catch up with you down

1317
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:53,479
Speaker 2: the line.

1318
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 4: Absolutely appreciate you guys.

1319
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 2: All right, that's Frank Schub joining us. Yeah, who sports

1320
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 2: senior NFL writer and does a good job of kind

1321
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 2: of giving you an overview of the entire league. So

1322
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 2: we figured after three weeks we would hit him up

1323
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 2: for that. So we thank him for the time. And yeah,

1324
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 2: it's like, you don't want to ever like underestimate your

1325
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 2: opponent or go into game over competent, because that's where

1326
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 2: you get yourself in trouble. But man, even the odds

1327
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 2: makers are like, yeah, I think I saw sixteen and

1328
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 2: a half. I saw fifteen and a half first spread,

1329
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 2: and I was like, geez yay.

1330
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 3: And it's a home game for the Bills, so they

1331
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 3: have that going in their favor as well.

1332
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,959
Speaker 2: Let's get back to our topic at hand, though, which

1333
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 2: basically is kind of what we went over with Frank about, like,

1334
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 2: after three weeks of NFL action, what has it told

1335
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 2: you about the Bills and they're standing in the AFC.

1336
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 2: We go back to the phones and we go to

1337
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 2: Paul down in Arizona. What do you got for us? Paul?

1338
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 12: Hey, guys, how you doing good? I wanted to chat

1339
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 12: with you about the meatball.

1340
01:06:58,440 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 8: Has the NBA been signed?

1341
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be right after the show. Not to worry.

1342
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 7: Okay, because I had a couple of questions about the meatball.

1343
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 7: Did you use the three meat trio vl B from.

1344
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 12: Pork and was there any red wine involved?

1345
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, for the competition, we were given

1346
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 3: one meat, so we only had one choice of meat

1347
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 3: to work with. There was no wine on the table

1348
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 3: that we could use either.

1349
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very safe way to answer that question.

1350
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 3: Glad.

1351
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 2: Do you think the bills are going all the way?

1352
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 6: All the way?

1353
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 2: Okay?

1354
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 3: Thanks Paul, Thanks Paull, appreciate that.

1355
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 2: Very clever. Maddie, well done.

1356
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm glad I answered that the right way. That's

1357
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 3: a little.

1358
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 2: Nervous to Ryan in Toronto. What's up Ryan?

1359
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 9: Happy Monday, Maddie, Hope you got to.

1360
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 8: Know.

1361
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 9: I know, I know you guys are talking about and Cousins.

1362
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 9: I think I'm interesting team moving forward with the Falcons.

1363
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 9: Reason I say that if they're being Kirk Cousins and

1364
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 9: they could Cousins place the Washington commanders next week, I

1365
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 9: think that's a little bit of revengeful Kirk Cousin and

1366
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 9: as they go on a bye week and they come

1367
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 9: back and play the Bills, I think they might be

1368
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 9: a hungrier team, especially if they're a quarterback controversial and

1369
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 9: then if they're in there, in there for a NF

1370
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 9: South Divisional title, don't be surprised if Cousins goes all

1371
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 9: the way starting starting next week and Bill, I really

1372
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 9: hope they just go over six. It's you know, moving

1373
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 9: forward and until the bide practice after the bye week,

1374
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 9: they schedule gets a little bit tougher. And now I

1375
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 9: want to talk about a little bit about the MVP

1376
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 9: compensation as well. I know Herbert up there, Alan's up there,

1377
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 9: or everyone's talking about Lamar. What about Daniel Jones the guys,

1378
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 9: he's honestly, he's under the radar. Ask me, I think

1379
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,560
Speaker 9: in the MVP communication time taking my car, guys have

1380
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 9: a great Monday.

1381
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's off to a fantastic start. Daniel Jones is

1382
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 2: there's no doubt that I think he's going to have

1383
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 2: to do a little more production wise, and the team's

1384
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 2: going to really have to continue their winning ways. I mean,

1385
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 2: they're out to a great start in the AFC South.

1386
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 2: We know that Houston doesn't look like they're going to

1387
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 2: compete after winning that division each of the last two years,

1388
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 2: They've got a myriad of problems, as outlined by Frank

1389
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 2: schwab our guest here. I'm more wondering do the Bill

1390
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 2: c Kirk Cousins at quarterback when they go down to

1391
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 2: Atlanta for that Monday night game in Week six? I

1392
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 2: think it is.

1393
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 3: The Colts have the Rams this week, so I think

1394
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 3: that'll be a great test for the cults of like, okay,

1395
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 3: are you for real?

1396
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 2: Community and an angry Rams team after the way the

1397
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 2: game went.

1398
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 3: Last So true, that's a great point. Yeah, Falcons have

1399
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 3: commanders in week four, Week five, they have their buye.

1400
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 3: That is such an early buye to have before coming

1401
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 3: to Buffalo for week six. So yeah, we talk about

1402
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 3: the bye week being a good week to make a

1403
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 3: change at quarterback. You have a week to figure things out.

1404
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 3: You have a week to put some new things in

1405
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 3: for that quarterback to have success with how he plays

1406
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 3: with the offense. Could we see it change? You talk

1407
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 3: about the riches they have at a lot of different

1408
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,719
Speaker 3: position groups. Is it just better to move to Kirk Cousins,

1409
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 3: who is a veteran who's played a lot of Football

1410
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 3: started his career with Washington.

1411
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's gonna be interesting to see. I

1412
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 2: think there are potential changes in the works there before

1413
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 2: the Bills play them down in Atlanta in week six.

1414
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, Maddy and I come back

1415
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 2: to answer more of your phone calls. So if you're

1416
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:34,960

01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 2: have those next here on One Bill's Live, presented by

1420
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 2: Colid of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome

1421
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 2: back to One Bill's Live on a Buffalo Football Monday.

1422
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:57,440
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Maddy glab with you. And this is convenient

1423
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 2: because usually on Mondays, after Bill's victories, what do we have?

1424
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 2: We have the Maddie Awards and look, she's right here.

1425
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 2: So the Maddie Awards are presented by Energy Mark, the

1426
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 2: official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. And we kind

1427
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 2: of sat on these for a few days because we

1428
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 2: had like a different kind of day after game show

1429
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 2: on Friday, so we waited until the appropriate time when

1430
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 2: we usually do this, which is Monday after a victory.

1431
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 2: So here are the latest edition of the Maddie Awards

1432
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 2: coming off of Week three.

1433
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 3: So first we're giving it to I'll give you the

1434
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 3: award first, mister dependent. Okay, is our award to start

1435
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 3: this week's and it's going to the running back James Cook.

1436
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 3: That's because the Bills are depending on James Cook to

1437
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 3: move this offense. Buffalo's offense is more sophisticated with Cook

1438
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 3: in it. He's nimble, he's got great vision. A very

1439
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 3: confident player too. This season, Joe Brady, Buffalo's offensive coordinator, says,

1440
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 3: Cook is playing stronger and you can see that with

1441
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,759
Speaker 3: the way that he moves with the ball in his hands.

1442
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 3: He is confident. He can break tackles. We see what

1443
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 3: he can do when they're in the red zone, when

1444
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 3: they're close on the goal line. The offensive line also

1445
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 3: gets the assist with how Cook played against Miami because

1446
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 3: the offensive line was opening up those lanes for Cook.

1447
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 3: He finishes with over one hundred rushing yards a rushing touchdown.

1448
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 3: Cook has nineteen carries in the game against the Dolphins.

1449
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 3: The week before, he has twenty one. They are handing

1450
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,440
Speaker 3: the ball to a running back at a rate consistently

1451
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 3: to start the season that I have not seen them

1452
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 3: do since Josh Allen was drafted in twenty eighteen.

1453
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think part of the reason for that

1454
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 2: is his effectiveness, obviously, but I think even in last

1455
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 2: week's game, he is two shoe string tackles away from

1456
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 2: long touchdown runs, including one that would have been sixty

1457
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 2: five yards. But I've also seen this a couple of

1458
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 2: times through the first three weeks. We see coach Skipper

1459
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 2: on the sidelines getting ready to send like Ray Davis

1460
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 2: or Ty Johnson in, and I've seen James wave them off, Oh,

1461
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 2: like I'm not coming out kind of thing, and it's

1462
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 2: kind of hard to argue with that. Like the guy's

1463
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 2: being productive, let him cook, literally, So I think that

1464
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 2: there's an element of that too. He's purposely saying, I

1465
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 2: am not coming out right now the game. Let me

1466
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 2: stay in the game and finish this drive. And look,

1467
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 2: we hear this from running backs all the time. Some

1468
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 2: of them feel as though they can read defenses better

1469
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 2: and make better decisions with the ball in their hand

1470
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 2: when they're in the flow of the game and not

1471
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 2: coming in and out of the game. And look, there

1472
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 2: is a purpose to everything that the Bills try to

1473
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 2: do substitution wise. Some of it at times is to

1474
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 2: give him a break, give him a rest so he's

1475
01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 2: fresher in the fourth quarter when you might need him.

1476
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 2: It really hasn't been an issue yet. We'll see if

1477
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 2: this workload continues, if he's if he has to take

1478
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 2: more breaks later in the season. Right now, it's going

1479
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 2: pretty good, so I get it, yeah, and I don't

1480
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 2: have a problem with it.

1481
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 3: Next up is our momentum Shifter award that's going to

1482
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 3: a roughing the kicker penalty. Who knew that a roughing

1483
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 3: the kicker penalty was going to shift things in Buffalo's favor.

1484
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 3: I had raising my hand, no idea that that could

1485
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 3: happen that late in the game and help Buffalo get

1486
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 3: things going in the right direction. You have the Miami

1487
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 3: Dolphins who just score in the fourth quarter, tie things

1488
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 3: up at twenty one, and then the Bills are about

1489
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 3: to punt. They weren't in a rhythm offensively, but a

1490
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 3: roughing the kicker penalty keeps the drive alive. The Bills.

1491
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm scoring on that drive, taking the lead, and after

1492
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 3: that everything goes in Buffalo's favor. You have an interception

1493
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,759
Speaker 3: following that drive by Miami. Terrell Bernard grabs the interception,

1494
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 3: then the Bill score field goal, and then the game

1495
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 3: is over. That was a huge momentum shifting play at

1496
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 3: the end of that game.

1497
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 2: I called it on Friday Show the dumbest play in

1498
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 2: the game. There's no other way to say it. I mean,

1499
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 2: you just laid it out. You have a tie football game.

1500
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 2: Your offense is moving the football, your defense stopped them,

1501
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 2: and in a tie game in the fourth quarter, you're

1502
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 2: getting the ball back. The fact that a veteran player

1503
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 2: who's a team captain did that, like, there is no

1504
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 2: reason to be that aggressive in that spot, tie game,

1505
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 2: You're getting the ball back in the fourth quarter against

1506
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and the Bills on their home field where

1507
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 2: they haven't lost in almost two years, and you do that.

1508
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 2: Just catastrophic and horrendously dumb decision, dumbest playing the game.

1509
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 2: And it's not even close.

1510
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,560
Speaker 3: And that's what it comes down to is, you know

1511
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 3: plays in games like that, if it doesn't go in

1512
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 3: your favor, you got to you gotta find a way

1513
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 3: to stay in it. And I mean that interception that

1514
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 3: Trel Bernard had that was a chance for Miami to Okay,

1515
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 3: we made a stupid decision here, let's go in and

1516
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 3: score on the next drive. And speaking of Trel Bernard's interception,

1517
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 3: he's our next award nail in the coffin going to

1518
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 3: Trell Bernard for the interception he had in the fourth

1519
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 3: quarter of the game. Miami was on Buffalo's twenty one

1520
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 3: yard line. They had a chance to tie it up

1521
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 3: with minutes left.

1522
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 8: In the game.

1523
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 3: Buffalo's defense needed to show up, and boy, oh boy

1524
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 3: did they. Trel Bernard did a great job of reading

1525
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 3: to a tongue of Iloa on that play. He knew

1526
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 3: where tongue of Iloa was going, was able to jump

1527
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 3: in front of it grab the ball. And Buffalo's defense

1528
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 3: has been so good with coming up with these huge

1529
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 3: takeaways when they need it. Defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage said

1530
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 3: he was not surprised that Bernard did it on that play.

1531
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 3: It's surprising in a game like that because you're waiting

1532
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 3: for something to happen, and it happens for Buffalo. They

1533
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,679
Speaker 3: go and score a field goal off of that takeaway

1534
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 3: and game over. That was another big play in that game.

1535
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's why I call him mister fourth quarter

1536
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,639
Speaker 2: because he makes all Terrel Bernard makes all these plays

1537
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, whether it's that last Thursday fourth quarter,

1538
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 2: I int jumping the route, whether it's hopping on the

1539
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 2: force fumble by Ed Oliver in the fourth quarter against

1540
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 2: the Ravens, the punch out on Mark Andrews in the

1541
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, the divisional playoff, the interception at the end

1542
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 2: of the game against the Chiefs in Week eleven last year. Like,

1543
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 2: the guy just shows up in the fourth quarter, So

1544
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 2: make it popular. Yeah, mister fourth quarter.

1545
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: That's just who he is.

1546
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 3: And a lot of that is instincts, but I think

1547
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 3: a lot of that too, is the film study you

1548
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 3: do during the week to know exactly what is going

1549
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 3: to happen, to know what the team's tendencies are when

1550
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 3: the game is tight, when it's in the fourth quarter,

1551
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 3: when when you may have a quarterback who who have

1552
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 3: some deficiencies and might show it on one play. Here,

1553
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 3: I'm going to take advantage of it.

1554
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 2: And Torel in that and TV credited Al Holcome, his

1555
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 2: linebackers coach, with kind of showing him that look in

1556
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 2: film study through the course of the week, so he

1557
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 2: was prepped for it. He was ready for it, and

1558
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 2: then he recognized it when it mattered most, So that

1559
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 2: was awesome. How about the Welcome to the Club award.

1560
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Club award, that's going to our tight end,

1561
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 3: Jackson Hawes. There's a christening that happens when you play

1562
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 3: for Buffalo's offense, and when you play for a quarterback

1563
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 3: like Josh Allen, you learn very quickly that no play

1564
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 3: is ever over with Alan. Alan escapes the pocket on

1565
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 3: this play looking like he might run it into the

1566
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 3: end zone. Nope, a quick picked a quick pitch to

1567
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 3: the rookie Jackson Hawes for a touchdown. Welcome to the club,

1568
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,600
Speaker 3: young fella. You know that your head has to be

1569
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:59,520
Speaker 3: on a swivel at all times with Alan as your quarterback.

1570
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 3: Also shout out to him laying the block before catching

1571
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 3: the touchdown pass.

1572
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 2: Well, it was interesting because I heard a postgame interview

1573
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 2: with him when I was driving home in the car

1574
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 2: after the game that got played back later in the evening,

1575
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 2: and he basically said, I screwed up and we had

1576
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 2: to call time out before that play because he was misaligned.

1577
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 2: So he's like, thanks to Josh for still having faith

1578
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 2: in me. And coming to me on the very next snap.

1579
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 2: But yeah, he said, I'm learning very quickly that your

1580
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 2: head has to be on a complete swivel when Josh

1581
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 2: has the ball because you might get it even if

1582
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 2: you don't think you are. I mean, you imagine living

1583
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 2: that way.

1584
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 3: That was me, and I'm a rookie and I'm just

1585
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 3: like learning how to play with this offense that goes

1586
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 3: off for thirty points a game. I'm blocking, I'm just

1587
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 3: trying to help out my team, and then here comes

1588
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 3: above flying in my direction. I'd be like, hah, I

1589
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to catch it. I'd be screaming. Jackson

1590
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 3: Hawes puts his paws out and grabs the ball for

1591
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,600
Speaker 3: his first NFL touchdown. Way to go, rook all right, the.

1592
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,560
Speaker 2: Good Teammate Award. And actually, it's funny that you have

1593
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 2: this one here because my wife mentioned this and how

1594
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 2: how much more she thought of Keon after witnessing this.

1595
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 3: Okay, good Teammate Award. It happens on the Jackson Hawes

1596
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 3: touchdown play. It's going to Keon Coleman. Coleman because Jackson

1597
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 3: Hawes spikes the heck out of that ball to the

1598
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 3: point where the ball goes flying and here comes Keon

1599
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 3: Coleman like running with his arms flailing, going to catch

1600
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 3: the ball, going to find out where it is so

1601
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 3: I can give it back to Hawes so he can

1602
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 3: have that that ball for his first touchdown catch as

1603
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 3: an NFL player. I thought it was so funny. I

1604
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 3: we we rewatched that play a bunch in the office

1605
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 3: because Keon Coleman comes out of nowhere and he's like,

1606
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 3: oh no, let me go grab the ball.

1607
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, because somebody did that for him last year, and

1608
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember who the heck it was. I

1609
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 2: want to say it was Dawson Knox or maybe a

1610
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 2: lineman that retrieved Keon's first ball, because he put it

1611
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 2: on the ground also and did a little dance thing.

1612
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 3: You forget about it in the moment.

1613
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, here to do.

1614
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I need this ball.

1615
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. So cool that he kind of returned the favor

1616
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,679
Speaker 2: and paid it forward, so to speak. The heating up award.

1617
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 3: Heating up award. It's going to the tight end, don't kinkaid.

1618
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 3: Kinkaida has been a solid target for Buffalo's offense to

1619
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 3: start the season eighty one point three percent catch rate

1620
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 3: through three games. That is an awesome number. He's had

1621
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,599
Speaker 3: at least four catches in every game. It's a good

1622
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 3: number for offense that has seen at least eight different

1623
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 3: players catch passes in each game. So far, Kinkaid has

1624
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 3: two touchdowns through three games. And as a tight end,

1625
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 3: don't Kinkaid is such a mismatch. He's got impressive hands,

1626
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 3: He's tough to guard because of his length, because of

1627
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 3: where he plays in this offense. And then offensive coordinator

1628
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,560
Speaker 3: Joe Brady spoke on kinkaid start to the season on

1629
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 3: Friday and he attributed what he's done so far this

1630
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 3: season to the work that Kinkaid has put in offseason.

1631
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 3: King Kid was somebody who was in the building almost

1632
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 3: every single day of the offseason in February, in March,

1633
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 3: when everybody was still in California and Florida going on vacations,

1634
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,680
Speaker 3: Kincaid was here working. And it's paying off right now.

1635
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And look as exciting as it is to see

1636
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 2: him running like we're used to seeing him run after

1637
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 2: playing on two bad knees last year, and all the

1638
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 2: plays he's making in the passing game, I think the

1639
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 2: part of his game that's improved the most is is blocking. Yeah,

1640
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 2: he's been an unbelievable blocker here through these first few games,

1641
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 2: and I think it's really made that thirteen personnel when

1642
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 2: they go three tight ends on the field, just an

1643
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,839
Speaker 2: absolute weapon of a personnel grouping all right, first QBAN

1644
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 2: History Award. First, this is pretty self explained.

1645
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 3: It's Harry, It's going to Josh Allen. Josh Allen just

1646
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,759
Speaker 3: needs to change his name to first quarterback in NFL

1647
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 3: history because after every single game, Josh Allen gets this

1648
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 3: tied to his name because he continues to do incredible

1649
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,760
Speaker 3: things that are very hard for quarterbacks to do in

1650
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 3: the league. After the win against Miami, he becomes the

1651
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 3: first quarterback in NFL history to reach three hundred offensive

1652
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 3: touchdowns including playoffs. Patrick Mahomes had that record. Now Josh

1653
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 3: Allen has it fastest player to reach three hundred. And

1654
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 3: then also after his three touchdown performance against Miami, he

1655
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,799
Speaker 3: becomes the sixth fastest player to reach two hundred career

1656
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 3: passing touchdowns. So you continue to add to these stats.

1657
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 3: That's why he needs his name change to first quarterback

1658
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 3: in NFL history, because he's doing it all and I

1659
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 3: think what's most striking about the way Alan's playing the game.

1660
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 3: I said this earlier in the show. He is so

1661
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 3: confident with what he's seeing out on the field. Alan

1662
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 3: is taking what the defense is giving him. It is

1663
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 3: such a shift from who he was as a quarterback

1664
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:53,600
Speaker 3: years ago, where I see one thing, I'm gonna go

1665
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 3: forty yards down the field to the house to try

1666
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,799
Speaker 3: and make something out of nothing. No, Alan is taking

1667
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 3: the shorter routes. It was there against Miami. They were

1668
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 3: eating up the middle of the field. It allowed them

1669
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 3: to get thirty one points. When you can do that,

1670
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 3: it pisses defenses off. It makes them so mad because

1671
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 3: you're taking away the big stuff and you're just going

1672
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 3: with the shorter things. But the shorter routes are getting

1673
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 3: you thirty one points. It is possible, and it is

1674
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 3: really really hard to defend because you know, quarterbacks sometimes

1675
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:28,600
Speaker 3: want to take the top off of a defense and

1676
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 3: it's just really hard with an arm that Alan has

1677
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 3: not to just step back and be like, you know what, guys,

1678
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to air it out on this play. He

1679
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 3: was so good about being patient in the pocket against

1680
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 3: the Dolphins.

1681
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've been extraordinarily efficient as well. So Mahomes

1682
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:47,639
Speaker 2: and Allen the only two quarterbacks to hit three hundred

1683
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 2: offensive touchdowns before age thirty one. Anybody else who had

1684
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 2: done it before was thirty one years old or older.

1685
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 2: Mahomes did it right before his thirtieth birthday, which was

1686
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 2: last week. Josh is still twenty nine, and he's done

1687
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 2: it already too, all right. The last one Absolute Legends Award.

1688
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 3: Absolute Legends going to are Bill's legends who were on

1689
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 3: the scene for that Week three game game against Miami,

1690
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 3: Stevie Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick. They were so fun to

1691
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 3: watch out there. So Stevie Johnson, obviously the legend of

1692
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 3: the game, did a great job of leading the charge

1693
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 3: before the game started. And then the Bills score a touchdown.

1694
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 3: You're like, who is that in the corner of the

1695
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 3: end zone with the Bill's flag. Oh, it's Stevie Johnson

1696
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 3: with the Bills flag, just having the time of his

1697
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 3: life running around in the end zone. I love to

1698
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 3: see it because that is who Stevie Johnson is. He's

1699
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 3: got this incredible personality. I love being around him, and

1700
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 3: I think Bill's fans love seeing him back in the stadium.

1701
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 3: And then we got to see fitz back in the

1702
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:48,480
Speaker 3: stadium because he works for Amazon Prime was doing the broadcast,

1703
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 3: and you know when he's in Buffalo, when they're on

1704
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 3: the desk, Fitz is just gonna take his shirt off

1705
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 3: for the fans, and of course he did so.

1706
01:25:58,120 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 8: So stick.

1707
01:25:58,920 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 2: He's a showman.

1708
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,639
Speaker 3: Dion Dawkins. Yeah, Dion Dawkins kind of lifted his shirt

1709
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 3: up first and was like, come on, fots do it.

1710
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 3: And then all the fans are chanting, take your shirt off,

1711
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 3: and fits the showman that he is, took his shirt off.

1712
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 3: Four Bills fans just what they needed.

1713
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 2: I'll bet he's ever reelectric. I bet he'd never realized

1714
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 2: that when he did that for the first time during

1715
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 2: the Perfect playoff game, when he was up in the stands,

1716
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he ever thought that that would soon

1717
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 2: become his stick with Bills fans.

1718
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 8: But here we are.

1719
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 3: It's done.

1720
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 2: And the cool thing about Stevie waving that flag was

1721
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 2: after the Bills beat the Patriots in Week three of

1722
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 2: twenty eleven, Fred Jackson and Brian Scott, a safety slash

1723
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 2: linebacker hybrid player for the Bills, came on the field

1724
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 2: after the win and grabbed those flags and started running

1725
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:53,560
Speaker 2: around so it was kind of a nice reprisal. It

1726
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 2: was like a reprisal of what had happened back in

1727
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 2: twenty eleven. So I just thought that was really cool.

1728
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 2: Stevie was doing it still during the game in the

1729
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 2: first quarter on Thursday night, but it still worked. And

1730
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 2: he also had the shirt reveal with right here, right

1731
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 2: now on his shirt, which he used to do after

1732
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 2: touchdowns back in the day. So kind of a really

1733
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 2: cool thing that we saw last week with the win.

1734
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, but those are the Matter

1735

01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 2: So grab your bag of tostitos. Today. I talked to

1754
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 2: Steve about this. Have you ever noticed? Did you ever

1755
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 2: know that logo with the two t's is two people

1756
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:47,839
Speaker 2: dipping a chip in talsa.

1757
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 3: My mind has just been blown right now, Chris, Yes,

1758
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 3: I never knew that.

1759
01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 2: Showed me.

1760
01:28:58,000 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 8: It's crazy.

1761
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, just the thing I like to point

1762
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 2: out to Betle I never noticed it before, but there

1763
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:04,640
Speaker 2: it is.

1764
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 8: Uh.

1765
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 2: We got to get back to the phones though, to

1766
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 2: know what you think about the bills after three weeks,

1767
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 2: and maybe about the AFC at large. So we go

1768
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 2: to Bobby and Buffalo next. What's up, Bobby, sir?

1769
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 17: How you doing today?

1770
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 8: Good?

1771
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 17: Good?

1772
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 7: Listen?

1773
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 17: Though after three weeks I would say, uh, the bills

1774
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 17: look good. They look good because you know, I was

1775
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:32,320
Speaker 17: at the game Thursday night, and the that first drive

1776
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 17: Miami went on down the field, it seems like, you know,

1777
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 17: when every time Tua went back to pass, you know,

1778
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:44,240
Speaker 17: he was in the pocket and and it seemed like

1779
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 17: the Bills can put no pressure on him. But but

1780
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:50,800
Speaker 17: and then that's my number one concern is they have

1781
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 17: to they have to start and continue to put more

1782
01:29:55,439 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 17: pressure on on on quarterbacks as they schedule go, it

1783
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 17: goes deep. Nowt you know, if we look at the

1784
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:07,639
Speaker 17: remaining schedule, you know that the Bills got the Saints next,

1785
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 17: then after the Saints they got New England, and then

1786
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 17: after that that they got Atlanta and and and possibly

1787
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 17: the Bills could run the table so to speak. You know,

1788
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 17: if if they if they can run the table and

1789
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:27,719
Speaker 17: still be on the road that they are. I believe

1790
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 17: by the bye week, these guys could be still undefeated

1791
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 17: going into the bye week. Okay, And and I do

1792
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 17: have and I do I do have I do I

1793
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:40,960
Speaker 17: did predict the Bills being the number one seed after

1794
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 17: it's all said and done, I still believe that they

1795
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 17: are going to be the number one seed in the

1796
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 17: AF seed after everything is done. Okay, wait for you guys. Answers,

1797
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:52,640
Speaker 17: God bless have a good day.

1798
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:56,679
Speaker 2: Thanks Bobby, appreciate the phone call. Look, we talked about

1799
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 2: this many when the schedule came out. The schedule lined

1800
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 2: up very favorably for Buffalo, provided they take care of

1801
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 2: their own business to really rack up some wins on

1802
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 2: the front part of the schedule here because it looked

1803
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:12,600
Speaker 2: relatively favorable. I think we felt the Ravens game was

1804
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 2: a toss up, but if they got that, the opportunity

1805
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,120
Speaker 2: was going to be there for them to really sprint

1806
01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:22,800
Speaker 2: out ahead of everybody else in the AFC. And right now,

1807
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,799
Speaker 2: so far, so good, and I think many are expecting

1808
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 2: that to continue at the very least with the Saints

1809
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 2: this week.

1810
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 3: Another thing we pointed out when the schedule got released

1811
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,639
Speaker 3: was the fact that the tough games on buffalo schedule

1812
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 3: are all separated by a month. You start out the

1813
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,560
Speaker 3: season against the Ravens, then the Bills, don't see the

1814
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:45,640
Speaker 3: Chiefs until November. Then you take on the Bengals in December,

1815
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 3: and then you get the Eagles at the end of December.

1816
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 3: So it's nicely spaced out for Buffalo to get healthy

1817
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 3: in the weeks between and have some games that you

1818
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,799
Speaker 3: don't deem as. Oh my gosh, look at this stretch

1819
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 3: of really tough games. Have a gauntless stretch, right, it's

1820
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 3: all spaced out for them.

1821
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly is. We have to step aside here

1822
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 2: and take a break. When we come back, though, our

1823
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 2: number three is going to begin with my broadcast partner

01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 2: Craveable favorites collide in Chunky Soup's new macline featuring flavors

1838
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:34,639
Speaker 2: like Buffalo style Chicken Mac, Chili Dog Mac, and BFE

1839
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:38,560
Speaker 2: Max Stock up for game day now at your local Wegmans.

1840
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 2: Chunky soup that eats like a meal. All right, Eric,

1841
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 2: let's recap Bill's Dolphins before we jump into maybe a

1842
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 2: look at the Saints here a little bit. And I

1843
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 2: gotta say, pass rush really did not get home on

1844
01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 2: Thursday night against Tua, and I think it was instrumental

1845
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:03,160
Speaker 2: in to it extending drives for the Dolphins with completions.

1846
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 2: What do you think changed upfront the most in your mind,

1847
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,519
Speaker 2: from maybe Week two when they were getting home to

1848
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 2: Week three.

1849
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:13,679
Speaker 18: Yeah, we talked before the game, Chris that we thought

1850
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 18: that was going to be a mismatch the right side

1851
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 18: of the Dolphins offensive line, both right guard, right tackle,

1852
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 18: both on ir We thought this was going to be

1853
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:25,479
Speaker 18: a major mismatch in the bills favor. Sean mcdermoty mentioned

1854
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,679
Speaker 18: after the game that the absence of Ed Oliver played

1855
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,240
Speaker 18: a factor, but he also wasn't available against the Jets,

1856
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 18: So you know, when you're comparing week two to week three,

1857
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:37,320
Speaker 18: you know, I think it was a combination of at

1858
01:34:37,479 --> 01:34:39,799
Speaker 18: times two getting the ball out of his hands quickly

1859
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,880
Speaker 18: and you know, hitting some guys that maybe had off

1860
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 18: coverage or crossing routes where he had wide open guys

1861
01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:46,920
Speaker 18: on pick plays.

1862
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 8: But he also had his highest time to throw in

1863
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:51,680
Speaker 8: a long time.

1864
01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 18: I believe it was like two point nine seconds time

1865
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 18: to throw in the game, which is really high for Tua,

1866
01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 18: who is one of those quarterbacks that hits his first

1867
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:01,640
Speaker 18: read a lot. He's generally closer to two seconds. And

1868
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:05,599
Speaker 18: so I think give to a credit. He did one

1869
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:08,080
Speaker 18: of the better jobs I've ever seen him of manipulating

1870
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 18: the pocket and creating some extra time himself and then

1871
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 18: just guys not necessarily winning quick enough. I felt like

1872
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 18: the way the game script was unfolding and the Bill's

1873
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 18: playing with two score lead at the end, that it

1874
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 18: was time that Bosa or so or somebody was going

1875
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:26,639
Speaker 18: to get home. And yes, the pass rush was good

1876
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 18: at times. And when you look at the Treel Bernard interception,

1877
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 18: Dion Walker creates a very quick pressure which distorts to

1878
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 18: his vision, he throws the ball, Bernard gets a pick.

1879
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,600
Speaker 18: So give the pass rush credit there, Uh, but it

1880
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 18: wasn't It wasn't quite the factor.

1881
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:43,479
Speaker 8: That it was in week two. And what it needs

1882
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 8: to be moving forward.

1883
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 3: The Dolphins go ten to fifteen on third down. They

1884
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:50,360
Speaker 3: convert a bunch of third and longs. We heard from

1885
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:53,760
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage last week and Babbage said, it's

1886
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 3: good that we got them into third downs. We just

1887
01:35:56,200 --> 01:35:58,760
Speaker 3: have to get off the field. Then Sean McDermott says

1888
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 3: the third and lungs are very frustrating, both coaches saying

1889
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 3: the rush and coverage has got to do a better

1890
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,800
Speaker 3: job of working together. How do the Bills fix it

1891
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:07,839
Speaker 3: going forward?

1892
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:11,400
Speaker 18: Yeah, they came into Week three with the number one

1893
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 18: third defense in the league. That's majorly there because of

1894
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:19,720
Speaker 18: the for eleven performance by the Jets in Week two.

1895
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 18: Coming into this season, when you look at concerns from

1896
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:25,759
Speaker 18: last year twenty ninth in the NFL and third down defense,

1897
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 18: so you said, okay, we have to get better. Well,

1898
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 18: we bring in Ryan Nielson, We're playing a little bit

1899
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 18: more man coverage, we have more five man pressures, some

1900
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:33,800
Speaker 18: different looks up front.

1901
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,719
Speaker 8: But when you look at this last game.

1902
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:39,960
Speaker 18: The Dolphins were able to hang around and really keep

1903
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,679
Speaker 18: the Bills off the field in the first half because

1904
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 18: of their third down offense. You know that drive before

1905
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 18: the half where they convert three to third and longs.

1906
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 18: We're talking about how this could be a two for

1907
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 18: one situation for the Bills, and they drained the entire

1908
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:55,639
Speaker 18: clock in the first half, and the Bills really only

1909
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:58,560
Speaker 18: have three possessions in the first half, and they have

1910
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:00,840
Speaker 18: two touchdowns in a missfield goal, and then you're sitting

1911
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 18: there with a tie ball game. And so it's got

1912
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 18: to improve. Yes, it is about marrying the rush and

1913
01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 18: the coverage, but how does that.

1914
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 8: Change moving forward?

1915
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 18: Is it tighter coverage to maybe not allow some quicker

1916
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:15,440
Speaker 18: throws to the outside.

1917
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:17,080
Speaker 8: Is it disguising the.

1918
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 18: Coverage now that these safeties get more time on task,

1919
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 18: more comfortability, you know, rocking in and out of single

1920
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 18: high and two high looks. Is it some different looks

1921
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:29,599
Speaker 18: that you give them up front. We saw some five

1922
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:31,479
Speaker 18: man looks at the line of scrimmage last week. Six

1923
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:33,680
Speaker 18: man looks at the line of scrimmage where you know

1924
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:35,680
Speaker 18: maybe only five guys are coming, but you don't know

1925
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 18: who it is.

1926
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 8: And so I think we see some more creativity.

1927
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 18: I also think as you get in that Oliver back

1928
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 18: into the mix, as you get a Michael Hoyt back

1929
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 18: after the suspension. Those guys can definitely play a factor

1930
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 18: in that pass rush increasing on third downs, but you

1931
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 18: know those obvious pass rush situations. I don't think the

1932
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,080
Speaker 18: pass rush was good enough a lot of the time

1933
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,560
Speaker 18: last week, and then there were some times where the

1934
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:03,680
Speaker 18: throws just seemed a little too easy for in those

1935
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:05,440
Speaker 18: third and long situations.

1936
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:07,520
Speaker 8: Now you also have guys like Waddle.

1937
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 18: And Hill where you have to respect their speed, and

1938
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 18: you're thinking, if they can't make those big time explosive

1939
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 18: plays down the field, they're probably not going to be

1940
01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 18: able to score enough points to beat you. Considering this offense,

1941
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 18: it's likely going to throw up thirty points a game,

1942
01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 18: as we've seen them do through the first three weeks

1943
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 18: of the season and twelve of the last thirteen regular

1944
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:28,920
Speaker 18: season games. As my broadcast partner Chris Brown likes to say,

1945
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:31,439
Speaker 18: as long as Josh Allen has played at least one

1946
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 18: snap or played more than one snap in a game,

1947
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 18: So we're excluding that final game against the Patriots. But

1948
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 18: all that being said, it sounds simple to say it's

1949
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:44,280
Speaker 18: marrying the rush and the coverage, but then moving forward,

1950
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:48,640
Speaker 18: it's making tweaks to either allow the pass rush to

1951
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 18: get home where maybe you have to take some risks

1952
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 18: at giving up a big play because you're not going

1953
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 18: to give up the underneath stuff, or just some different

1954
01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 18: looks in some different pressure packages to get home quicker.

1955
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 2: Flipping it around. Miami put a lot of resources into

1956
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 2: stopping Buffalo's run game. They ran a healthy number of

1957
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 2: run blitzes. They even had a couple of four to

1958
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 2: four looks that they ran at Buffalo's offensive front with

1959
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 2: four defensive tackles on the field. They got some good

1960
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 2: penetration into the backfield. I mean they had two tackles

1961
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 2: for loss, three for no game, two for one yard

1962
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 2: against the Bills run game. Bill still had a good

1963
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 2: yards per carry average at the end of the night,

1964
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 2: and Cook got his numbers. But do you think Miami

1965
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 2: had enough effectiveness where Buffalo should expect more of that

1966
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 2: from future opponents?

1967
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:40,680
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, them playing the Bills forever has been

1968
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 18: you know, can we keep up with the passing game?

1969
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 18: You got the league MVP and it's nickel defense and

1970
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 18: how do we defend these guys? And the Bills offense

1971
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 18: is just so tough to prepare for right now because

1972
01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:54,920
Speaker 18: they can get in thirteen personnel like we've seen them

1973
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 18: do the last two weeks, and those guys can all block,

1974
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 18: they block well on the perimeter, such a weapon in

1975
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:03,680
Speaker 18: the past game. And Knox and Halls have also had

1976
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 18: their bright moments of the past game as well. But

1977
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 18: Kincaid's a matchup nightmare out there. And you know, I

1978
01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 18: expect teams to have to put more linebackers or d

1979
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,599
Speaker 18: tackles or whatever it may be, run those run blitzes

1980
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:17,760
Speaker 18: to then try and get the Bills out of their

1981
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:21,599
Speaker 18: run game, because Joe Brady has shown in his time

1982
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 18: as offensive coordinator that if you're gonna play with the

1983
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:25,719
Speaker 18: light box or we feel like the run game's working,

1984
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 18: we are going to try and pound you into submission.

1985
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 18: This isn't Joe Brady necessarily, you know, trying to pad

1986
01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 18: his stats to set himself up for a potential head

1987
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:38,640
Speaker 18: coaching gig or you know, we got Josh Allen, we

1988
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:40,439
Speaker 18: need to give him the stats because we want him

1989
01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 18: to be the MVP again at the end of the season.

1990
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 18: If they need to throw the ball and they need

1991
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 18: to do what they did in the first game against

1992
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 18: the Ravens, they will. I think this team is content

1993
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 18: giving the ball off the James Cook you know, at

1994
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 18: the rate they are right now and just pounding you

1995
01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 18: out throughout the game and really taking a lot of

1996
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 18: pressure off of Josh and the protection and everything else.

1997
01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 18: So yes, I definitely think that you're gonna see teams

1998
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:07,200
Speaker 18: have to go to heavier looks, whether it's base defense,

1999
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 18: whether it's firing the edges with corners to try to

2000
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 18: be able to stop this Bill's run game. Now, when

2001
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:15,479
Speaker 18: you do that, if the Bills can catch them, if

2002
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:17,799
Speaker 18: they can identify those looks and get to the right checks,

2003
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 18: you're gonna be susceptible to big plays when those do happen.

2004
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 18: So yes, Miami had a good plan especially. I felt

2005
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:27,760
Speaker 18: like there was two drives the opening possession of the

2006
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 18: second half. The Bills drive down the field and score,

2007
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 18: and I believe at that point Anthony Weaver said, Okay,

2008
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:36,960
Speaker 18: we're doing something different, and then they were able to

2009
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 18: try and they were able to force a three and

2010
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:41,599
Speaker 18: out after that, and then the Bills got one first

2011
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 18: down and then punted after that first first down on

2012
01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 18: their third possession of the second half. So I think

2013
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 18: you're gonna see teams have to try to take some

2014
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 18: chances to be able to create those negative plays because

2015
01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:56,640
Speaker 18: this offense is so efficient staying balanced, you just have

2016
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 18: to try to create those negative plays.

2017
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 3: Titan don't been a solid target for Josh Allen so

2018
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 3: far to start the season. Against the Dolphins, he goes

2019
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:08,120
Speaker 3: five catches, sixty six yards and a touchdown. How does

2020
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 3: Kincaid's rise can complicate things for opposing defenses.

2021
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:18,559
Speaker 18: Yeah, I assumed, and we talked to pregame about when

2022
01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:22,240
Speaker 18: you're playing with a rookie, fifth round nickel, two linebackers

2023
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 18: that aren't great in coverage, it's likely a Kincaid or

2024
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:27,760
Speaker 18: a Shakier game. Shakier gets forty five yards of the game,

2025
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 18: Kincaid gets sixty, and both those guys were going to

2026
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 18: be effective attacking the middle of the field. Now they

2027
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 18: also did it on the perimeter as well, But Josh

2028
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 18: was going to attack those linebackers.

2029
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:40,240
Speaker 8: And I don't know, Josh is just petty enough.

2030
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 18: Like I think back to when Dotson and Josh got

2031
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 18: into it leaving practice a couple of years ago. He

2032
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:48,519
Speaker 18: had that you know, uncalled late hit on Josh after

2033
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 18: the slide. I assume Josh was going to try and

2034
01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:53,759
Speaker 18: pick on him a little bit, and you know, Kincaid's

2035
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:57,680
Speaker 18: a matchup nightmare out there. And I think obviously he's

2036
01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 18: been a receiving threat since he's been with the billst year.

2037
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 18: He was dinged up throughout the season. He looks healthy,

2038
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:06,560
Speaker 18: he looks explosive. But also the way he blocks on

2039
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:10,440
Speaker 18: the perimeter right now, just tone setting blocks, taking defensive

2040
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:14,680
Speaker 18: backs and drag him into opposing team's sidelines or out

2041
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,599
Speaker 18: the back of the end zone. His blocking has been

2042
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:21,920
Speaker 18: exceptional so far through three weeks. And no, Kincaid's not

2043
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:24,680
Speaker 18: your in line blocking match him up against a two

2044
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 18: hundred and eighty pound defensive end, but man on the perimeter,

2045
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:29,759
Speaker 18: he in golf safeties.

2046
01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 8: He engulfs these.

2047
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,439
Speaker 18: Corners out there on the screens or the pitches or

2048
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 18: the end arounds to Elijah Moore. He's such a factor

2049
01:43:38,439 --> 01:43:41,360
Speaker 18: in the blocking game as well. I've been extremely impressed

2050
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:42,559
Speaker 18: with Kinkaid through three weeks.

2051
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 2: Flipping it back to the defensive front quickly, what did

2052
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 2: you make of the latest change up front defensively with

2053
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,200
Speaker 2: day Kwon Jones playing the three technique instead of the

2054
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 2: nose and Dion Walker, you know, manning that nose tackle spot,

2055
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 2: and do you believe it was effective enough where that

2056
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:02,799
Speaker 2: combination could continue if ed Oliver still isn't ready to return.

2057
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:04,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2058
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:08,720
Speaker 18: Absolutely, And I think especially on rundowns, that's that's a

2059
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 18: duo that can really man the inside, especially this year,

2060
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 18: where they're not just straight ahead penetration on every play.

2061
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:18,600
Speaker 18: Those are two stout defensive tackles in there with a

2062
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 18: ton of size. Now Walker can get washed out a

2063
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 18: little bit, and I think that will come with experience

2064
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,000
Speaker 18: where he recognizes when the double teams are coming, how

2065
01:44:27,040 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 18: he has to leverage himself. You know a lot of

2066
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 18: times those guys will drop to a knee, you know,

2067
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:34,040
Speaker 18: to try and get lower in those situations to simply

2068
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 18: just tie up the two blockers.

2069
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:37,200
Speaker 8: I think that comes with experience for Walker.

2070
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,360
Speaker 18: But I do feel like, especially in the Jets game,

2071
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 18: that was a stout duo inside with daikuon at the

2072
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:47,000
Speaker 18: three technique, and you know, that's something they got to

2073
01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 18: lean into as you kind of patchwork this defensive line

2074
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:53,920
Speaker 18: with ed Oliver out of and job suspended, you got

2075
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:55,840
Speaker 18: to get to some of those things, and I think

2076
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:58,760
Speaker 18: it has been effective. And both those guys have some

2077
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:00,720
Speaker 18: wigle to rush the passer as well, so when you

2078
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 18: put both them in it's not okay. We have two

2079
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 18: just run stuffers inside. Both those guys can rush the

2080
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 18: passer as well if they can recognize on rundowns that

2081
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:12,560
Speaker 18: it is going to be a pass play. So I

2082
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 18: think that's a duo that you can ride with, especially

2083
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:16,479
Speaker 18: until Hot Oliver comes back.

2084
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:20,759
Speaker 3: The Bills welcome the Saints in Week four. The Saints

2085
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 3: are zero and three to start the season, the Bills three.

2086
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 3: Two very different teams. You've got Spencer Rattler starting at

2087
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:29,479
Speaker 3: quarterback for the Saints. So far, He's thrown four passing

2088
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 3: touchdowns one interception to start the season, but it seems

2089
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 3: like their offense really hasn't come together in a lot

2090
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 3: of ways. Alvin Kamara looks like the only guy who's

2091
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:41,640
Speaker 3: who's grabbing yards for that offense. What do you kind

2092
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:43,799
Speaker 3: of make of the Saints team through three weeks?

2093
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 18: Yeah, and the spread opens at sixteen and a half.

2094
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:50,559
Speaker 18: They travel out to Seattle this week, then fly back

2095
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 18: a country across the country, then got to come all

2096
01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:55,080
Speaker 18: the way up to Buffalo. You know, this is a

2097
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:57,559
Speaker 18: Saints team that's reeling right now, and they go into

2098
01:45:57,600 --> 01:46:00,719
Speaker 18: the season with a quarterback competition between the rookie second

2099
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 18: rounder Tyler Shuck from Louisville, and you got Spencer Ratler.

2100
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,200
Speaker 18: They decide to go with Rattler at some point, I

2101
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:07,880
Speaker 18: think you got to see what you got in Shuck

2102
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 18: as the backup to see is this a situation where

2103
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:13,000
Speaker 18: we need to go try and I'm not gonna say tank,

2104
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,719
Speaker 18: but go give him some reps and if it doesn't

2105
01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:18,800
Speaker 18: work out, it might work out fine to where you

2106
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 18: can position yourself for a high draft pick in this

2107
01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 18: next year's draft to then potentially go get yourself a quarterback.

2108
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 18: But to me, they're a team that's reeling right now.

2109
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:32,200
Speaker 18: And in the preseason, you know, we heard from Tomrio

2110
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:34,920
Speaker 18: Davis talk about how great their culture is now, how

2111
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,560
Speaker 18: they enjoy going to work and all of that. But

2112
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 18: to me, this is a team that's gonna come in

2113
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:43,560
Speaker 18: and Chris, you mentioned the run blitzes. I think defensibly

2114
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:45,720
Speaker 18: they got to take some chances and try and create

2115
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:49,560
Speaker 18: negative plays and then offensively, are there plays down the

2116
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:50,800
Speaker 18: field that they try and make.

2117
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 8: Is there's some.

2118
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:54,639
Speaker 18: Gadget type stuff, because when you look at these two teams,

2119
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 18: as you said, Maddie, they're in two totally different spots.

2120
01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 8: Right now.

2121
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 18: You got a perennial powerhouse in Buffalo and a team

2122
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 18: trying to find themselves in the Saints. They're a situation

2123
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 18: now where you're kind of coming in with nothing to lose.

2124
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:09,280
Speaker 18: Let's take some chance to see if we can create

2125
01:47:09,320 --> 01:47:12,080
Speaker 18: some negative plays. Maybe there's some big plays down the

2126
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:14,120
Speaker 18: field off some gadget stuff. But they're gonna have to

2127
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:17,560
Speaker 18: really take some chances to try even just stay in

2128
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:20,280
Speaker 18: this one. If if I'm being honest, yeah, they're the.

2129
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 2: Fourth lowest scoring team in the league. I mean there's

2130
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:25,680
Speaker 2: not even scoring sixteen points a game. They got steamrolled

2131
01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 2: in Seattle, gave up a long special teams touchdown on

2132
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 2: a punt return for ninety five yards. So when you

2133
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:36,479
Speaker 2: know you have a team like this that has literally

2134
01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 2: nothing to lose and can pull out anything from the hat,

2135
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:45,479
Speaker 2: that's a difficult thing to prepare for. But again, I

2136
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:48,960
Speaker 2: kind of hear the coaches on this staff in my ears, going,

2137
01:47:49,320 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 2: we just got to take care of our own stuff

2138
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 2: and we'll be fine. But you still have to be

2139
01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 2: mindful of that at the same time, don't you.

2140
01:47:57,280 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 8: For sure?

2141
01:47:57,720 --> 01:48:01,280
Speaker 18: Yeah, you gotta know brain yourself throughout the week to

2142
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:04,400
Speaker 18: just stay discipline because you might get something that you

2143
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 18: haven't seen on film before, because they might be throwing

2144
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:10,760
Speaker 18: stuff at the wall Sunday saying we're overmatched. Now they're

2145
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:13,160
Speaker 18: not saying that in their meetings this week, but you

2146
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 18: know that coaching staff knows they're overmatched. So what kind

2147
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 18: of different things can we do to maybe catch the

2148
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 18: Bills off guard? And you know, the Bill's next four

2149
01:48:21,040 --> 01:48:25,400
Speaker 18: opponents are combined three and nine. Atlanta gets blown out,

2150
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:28,960
Speaker 18: the Patriots turn the ball over like crazy yesterday against

2151
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:34,000
Speaker 18: the Steelers. Panthers blew out the Falcons, but they didn't

2152
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 18: look good through the first two weeks, and so these

2153
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:39,519
Speaker 18: next four games, I'm not saying there's trap games, but

2154
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 18: you know, wa washing football yesterday, you see the Browns

2155
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:46,840
Speaker 18: pull off that win yesterday. You know it's you got

2156
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 18: to show up each and every week in this league.

2157
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 18: Because you know, the Packers were talking about potentially.

2158
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 8: Going undefeated a week ago.

2159
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 18: Guys in the locker room in press conference is talking

2160
01:48:57,280 --> 01:49:01,640
Speaker 18: about potentially going undefeated and then drop one at Cleveland

2161
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:03,800
Speaker 18: after a block field while at the end of the game.

2162
01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 18: And so I would assume Sean's going to be in

2163
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:09,760
Speaker 18: those guys ear you know he'll you know make sure

2164
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:11,720
Speaker 18: the guys saw some of the things that we saw

2165
01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:15,679
Speaker 18: yesterday watching games and that anything could happen in this league.

2166
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:18,679
Speaker 18: But over these next four weeks, it's you know, hopefully

2167
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:21,920
Speaker 18: you continue to get healthier, you continue to kind of

2168
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 18: build on what you're doing now, continue to get that

2169
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:27,720
Speaker 18: daily improvement that Sean McDermott talks about. And he'll be

2170
01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 18: hard on those guys, I have no doubt about it.

2171
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:33,679
Speaker 18: Just understanding that you know, this game may not bring

2172
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 18: the same emotion as a Division game, a Ravens game,

2173
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 18: a Chiefs game.

2174
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 8: He'll have these guys ready to rawl out.

2175
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:44,800
Speaker 3: Assume three weeks in, what's something you're waiting to see

2176
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:47,320
Speaker 3: that you haven't seen from Buffalo yet. Maybe we could

2177
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 3: see it against the Saints in week four.

2178
01:49:49,880 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2179
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:52,360
Speaker 18: I think one of the popular things is a downfield

2180
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 18: passing game. And Miami was, you know, daring the Bills

2181
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:58,920
Speaker 18: to say conservative of the last game, and yes, the

2182
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:01,960
Speaker 18: downfield shots didn't come, but I believe it was right

2183
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 18: around sixty percent of the game, and that includes when

2184
01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 18: they're running run blitzes and when the Bills were trying

2185
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 18: to run out the clock. Sixty percent of the time

2186
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 18: they played with two deep safeties, and they just simply

2187
01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:13,599
Speaker 18: were not gonna try to not let the Bills take

2188
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 18: the top off the defense and make those big time

2189
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:19,440
Speaker 18: explosive plays. So as the Bills continue to stay disciplined,

2190
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:22,240
Speaker 18: lean into the run game, throw the bubble screens, and

2191
01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 18: all the things they're doing right now, I'd love to

2192
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 18: see that downfield passing game come to fruition.

2193
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 8: And then defensively for the.

2194
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:33,559
Speaker 18: Bills, it's how can we continue to tweak our third

2195
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 18: down defense to set ourselves up for success, to get

2196
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 18: off the field, to get more three and outs and

2197
01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:43,640
Speaker 18: not let teams extend drives which then limit the possessions.

2198
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 18: You know, I feel like if if you play a

2199
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,680
Speaker 18: game right now against the Buffalo Bills and it's an

2200
01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:52,280
Speaker 18: eleven or twelve possession game, they're gonna score more than

2201
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:54,839
Speaker 18: you can. But if you can do what the Dolphins

2202
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:56,479
Speaker 18: did in the first half last week and only give

2203
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:58,640
Speaker 18: the Bills three possessions, you make the one mistake with

2204
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:01,559
Speaker 18: the missfield goal, and now you go into the half

2205
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 18: Todd and you think anything can happen now, So getting

2206
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 18: off the field defensively on third down, and what more

2207
01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 18: would you want to see?

2208
01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 8: Just maybe some different looks.

2209
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:14,840
Speaker 18: Maybe it's not just you know, your traditional four down look,

2210
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:18,240
Speaker 18: some different types of schemes to try and free some

2211
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:18,800
Speaker 18: guys up.

2212
01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:23,360
Speaker 2: Eric, thanks as always, safe travels up here this weekend.

2213
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:24,559
Speaker 2: We'll see you on the weekend, man.

2214
01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 8: I appreciate it. Looking forward to you guys.

2215
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 2: All right, that's Eric Wood joining us as he does

2216
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:32,400
Speaker 2: every week after Bill's games, so always good to get

2217
01:51:32,439 --> 01:51:35,920
Speaker 2: his insight and review on the latest performance. Got to

2218
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:37,680
Speaker 2: take a break here, Maddy, and I'll be back with

2219
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 2: more on a Buffalo Football Monday. Here on One Bill's Live,

2220
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 2: presented by Cold of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

2221
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 2: back here on One Bill's Live. Chris Bram, Maddy Glad

2222
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:56,719
Speaker 2: with you on a Buffalo Football Monday. And some league

2223
01:51:56,840 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 2: news coming down regarding the injury ste is for Nick Bosa.

2224
01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 2: ESPN's Adams Chefter reporting the tests have revealed he has

2225
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 2: a season ending ACL injury, a clean tear, and will

2226
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 2: now need surgery. That is a team that is already shorthanded.

2227
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:18,799
Speaker 2: I mean they made a first round pick with Mikel

2228
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 2: Williams out of Georgia for the pass rush, but Bosas

2229
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:23,880
Speaker 2: on the other side, Now you're gonna be relying on

2230
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:27,960
Speaker 2: Bryce Huff who was a cast off in Philly after

2231
01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:29,679
Speaker 2: he didn't have a great year as a free agent

2232
01:52:29,760 --> 01:52:33,479
Speaker 2: for them. So, I mean, you just you look up

2233
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:37,400
Speaker 2: their depth chart and like five guys are on ir already.

2234
01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 2: It's brutal.

2235
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:42,360
Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers have never had injury luck on their side.

2236
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:46,679
Speaker 3: It always seems like they're missing big players go down

2237
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 3: during a season over the last like five years.

2238
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 2: I feel like we Jeffrey last year.

2239
01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the forty nine ers are in the injury news

2240
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:55,160
Speaker 3: way too much. Good thing for them. They start the

2241
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 3: season three and zero, so you have three wins under

2242
01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:01,360
Speaker 3: your belt before hearing yaike, one of your best players

2243
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:03,439
Speaker 3: is out for the rest of the season. It'll be

2244
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 3: interesting to see what they do from here on out.

2245
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,439
Speaker 2: That's a tough one. We also saw a season ending

2246
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:15,720
Speaker 2: injury for the Cardinals number one back Connor. He's out

2247
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:17,760
Speaker 2: for the year. He had a bad ankle injury that

2248
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:21,280
Speaker 2: they've deemed to be season ending as well. So, man,

2249
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 2: you hate losing guys for the year in the first month.

2250
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:25,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you're not even out of September yet and

2251
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:29,559
Speaker 2: you're already losing people for the entire season. It's it's tough.

2252
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:30,720
Speaker 8: Uh.

2253
01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:32,479
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones though. At eight oh

2254
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 2: three five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five

2255
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:38,080
Speaker 2: fifty that's the number to jump on board with us.

2256
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:42,600
Speaker 2: As we are asking you after three games, what are

2257
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:44,720
Speaker 2: those first three weeks of the NFL season? Told you

2258
01:53:44,800 --> 01:53:48,559
Speaker 2: about the Bills and about the AFC as a whole,

2259
01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:51,080
Speaker 2: So got some open lines for you there. But we

2260
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 2: go to Tom in Lakawana, nex what's up Tom?

2261
01:53:55,520 --> 01:53:56,719
Speaker 11: Hey, how's it going today?

2262
01:53:56,880 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 2: Good?

2263
01:53:58,160 --> 01:53:58,360
Speaker 8: Good?

2264
01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 11: In reference to how things have gone for the first

2265
01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:05,880
Speaker 11: three weeks. While I got that and then a couple

2266
01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:11,600
Speaker 11: other things. First, I think against Miami, I thought, at

2267
01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:13,439
Speaker 11: least once or twice they should have tried to throw

2268
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:15,840
Speaker 11: the ball deep just to show they still have that.

2269
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:19,280
Speaker 11: Plus I can't remember the last time that Allen's connected

2270
01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:22,599
Speaker 11: on a long pass anyways, so it'd be worth the practice.

2271
01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 11: The other thing, and I tried to call Friday, did

2272
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:33,200
Speaker 11: the Bills set the record for least amount of replaying shown?

2273
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:36,880
Speaker 11: I've been to many away games and it's almost like

2274
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:40,400
Speaker 11: sitting at home. You see the replay after replay. The

2275
01:54:40,480 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 11: one that really aggravated me this week was when Binford

2276
01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:47,040
Speaker 11: got hurt, there's a stoppage in play. They're not showing

2277
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:49,400
Speaker 11: the replay. I don't understand. Do they have to pay

2278
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 11: a million dollars for every replay they show or something

2279
01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:58,480
Speaker 11: very crazy point. And then the other thing was I

2280
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:02,200
Speaker 11: didn't understand at halftime putting up for a memorial to

2281
01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:06,880
Speaker 11: mister Kirk on the board. I think that was. I mean,

2282
01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 11: Robert Redford passed away. There's an American hero, not so

2283
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:15,360
Speaker 11: a lot of questionable things about mister Kirk. I'm sorry

2284
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:18,880
Speaker 11: that someone as assassinated him, but I really didn't think

2285
01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:20,480
Speaker 11: it was a time replace to put it up on

2286
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:21,560
Speaker 11: the scoreboard.

2287
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tom, thanks for the call. I mean, I will

2288
01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:28,520
Speaker 2: address the replay stuff. No, they don't get paid for that.

2289
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:32,960
Speaker 2: The network runs the replays they feel are pertinent to

2290
01:55:33,280 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 2: what happened on the field. And I don't know, maybe

2291
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:40,640
Speaker 2: because there was an injury, they were worried that. I

2292
01:55:40,680 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe they were worried about what the injury was.

2293
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:44,760
Speaker 2: Because you know, when there are bad injuries, they don't

2294
01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:47,240
Speaker 2: like running replays because they look gruesome. That wasn't one

2295
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 2: of those, but sometimes they'll curtail the replays for that reason.

2296
01:55:51,680 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 2: I mean it was pretty evident early on they were

2297
01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:56,840
Speaker 2: checking Benford's ribs and he had gotten the wind knocked

2298
01:55:56,840 --> 01:56:00,520
Speaker 2: out of him on the collision there on that play. So, yeah,

2299
01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 2: I don't have an answer for you on that because

2300
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:05,920
Speaker 2: usually there are replays a plenty.

2301
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 3: And just to take you into the what a TV

2302
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:12,120
Speaker 3: truck looks like, So the replay operators are usually on

2303
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:15,520
Speaker 3: one of the back benches, whether that be in a

2304
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:17,960
Speaker 3: TV truck or in a control room. And when you

2305
01:56:18,120 --> 01:56:20,520
Speaker 3: have a replay, what you're doing is you're calling to

2306
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 3: your producer or director saying, I've got a replay on here,

2307
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:27,320
Speaker 3: I've got a replay on my machine. They'll flash the

2308
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:30,120
Speaker 3: replay up to one of the TV screens that they have.

2309
01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:33,040
Speaker 3: The producer and director will then look at the replay

2310
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:35,480
Speaker 3: and then deem, okay, we're going to take this replay.

2311
01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:37,600
Speaker 3: So maybe they looked at it and they thought, this

2312
01:56:38,080 --> 01:56:40,760
Speaker 3: replay is not telling us anything, so let's not go

2313
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:41,080
Speaker 3: with it.

2314
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I know a lot of people were not happy

2315
01:56:44,960 --> 01:56:47,880
Speaker 2: when the replay showed that Tyreek Hill looked as though

2316
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:51,160
Speaker 2: he never caught the ball on that first third down

2317
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:53,520
Speaker 2: conversion that the Dolphins had on the first possession of

2318
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:55,320
Speaker 2: the game. He was bobbling it and by the time

2319
01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 2: he secured it it looked like only one foot had

2320
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:01,680
Speaker 2: gotten in bounds. That was one of the more interesting

2321
01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:04,400
Speaker 2: replays of the game. Let's go to a butcher on

2322
01:57:04,480 --> 01:57:05,760
Speaker 2: the east side. What's up, butch?

2323
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:09,200
Speaker 19: My people, my people, I love you, thanks so much.

2324
01:57:09,320 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 19: My brother from another mother and the queen from another mister.

2325
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:15,000
Speaker 19: It's so good to talk to both you. I love

2326
01:57:15,040 --> 01:57:18,000
Speaker 19: the n SG, I love WGR and to the fans

2327
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:20,960
Speaker 19: who listen to this beautiful show and watch this beautiful

2328
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:23,520
Speaker 19: show across the season in the States. I love all

2329
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:25,320
Speaker 19: of you. I just want to get right to it.

2330
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:29,440
Speaker 19: My friend. I am so happy that the Bills up

2331
01:57:29,440 --> 01:57:32,440
Speaker 19: the NL. But we got to set some goals now.

2332
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 19: Number one. Our number one goal is to win a

2333
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:37,640
Speaker 19: Super Bowl. But at the same time, I want the

2334
01:57:38,120 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 19: coaches and I want the players to understand that the

2335
01:57:42,200 --> 01:57:44,879
Speaker 19: goal right now that I would like for the misset

2336
01:57:45,640 --> 01:57:47,680
Speaker 19: is on the way to win the Super Bowl with

2337
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:50,960
Speaker 19: the record and the schedule that we have, is that

2338
01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:53,520
Speaker 19: to get the record from the Miami Dolphins to go

2339
01:57:53,600 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 19: and defeat it. Now, don't laugh, please, nobody, don't laugh.

2340
01:57:57,200 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 19: It's my thing is you take one game at a time,

2341
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:03,000
Speaker 19: but about it. We have the talent to just go

2342
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:06,560
Speaker 19: out and dominate and get the game over early, Brownie,

2343
01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 19: I am so proud of you every game that you call.

2344
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:14,600
Speaker 19: You represent Van Miller, you represent mrph and you represent

2345
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:17,520
Speaker 19: yourself and your family. You do an outstanding job, and

2346
01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:20,560
Speaker 19: you're doing what you're doing along with my man, along

2347
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:23,640
Speaker 19: with my got my mind. Eric would I appreciate both

2348
01:58:23,640 --> 01:58:25,080
Speaker 19: of you. But I'm going to say this right quick.

2349
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:31,120
Speaker 19: Joe Brady I always said he was under investigation. Sometimes

2350
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:34,080
Speaker 19: with the talent we have as far as the number

2351
01:58:34,160 --> 01:58:37,200
Speaker 19: one player in the NFL and Josh Allen, let's just

2352
01:58:37,320 --> 01:58:40,400
Speaker 19: spread them, open up the gaps, get the game over with,

2353
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,160
Speaker 19: and just put some get put points in the board.

2354
01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:45,600
Speaker 19: The more points we put on the board, we dictate

2355
01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:47,760
Speaker 19: what the offense on the other side of the team

2356
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 19: has to do. Don't play around with them, don't play

2357
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:53,440
Speaker 19: don't start doing these other players saying, well, we're not

2358
01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:55,640
Speaker 19: gonna show everything you have because people are gonna be

2359
01:58:55,640 --> 01:58:58,600
Speaker 19: on take I understand that. Let's be a dictator instead

2360
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:01,400
Speaker 19: of being dictated too on defensive side of the ball.

2361
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:03,640
Speaker 19: I want to just say this, I said. I don't

2362
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 19: want to sound redund it, but I talked to Jeremy

2363
01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:08,839
Speaker 19: and Joe earlier today and I was saying that Dunians

2364
01:59:08,920 --> 01:59:12,040
Speaker 19: strong as a corner with one with Denver. You know

2365
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:15,240
Speaker 19: what I mean me those Brandon Bean has brought a

2366
01:59:15,280 --> 01:59:17,360
Speaker 19: lot of young players that's ready to play. And these

2367
01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 19: players are playing. Man, let this get a championship. Let

2368
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 19: these players play. It's a young person's game. No disrespect

2369
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:28,560
Speaker 19: to the davy Is White, no disrespect to any of

2370
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:32,040
Speaker 19: the older guys. There nothing the statesmen. Letting people be

2371
01:59:32,240 --> 01:59:34,160
Speaker 19: the mentors for these young players that don't when they

2372
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:36,960
Speaker 19: come off the field they can get down a person

2373
01:59:37,080 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 19: like the Davy's White, any other veteran to put them

2374
01:59:39,760 --> 01:59:41,600
Speaker 19: in the here. At the same time, I want the

2375
01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:44,200
Speaker 19: Buffalo Bills and the players to understand, let's make a

2376
01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:46,480
Speaker 19: goal right now. We're taking one game at the time.

2377
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 19: We're trying to get the record, not Miami, and on

2378
01:59:50,560 --> 01:59:53,800
Speaker 19: top of it, bring a championship to Buffalo. I love

2379
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:56,040
Speaker 19: you guys, and Maddie, I'm so good to hear your

2380

2381
01:59:58,760 --> 02:00:01,520
Speaker 19: a good day and keep winning. Ronnie Cheap winning Mattie

02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:04,160
Speaker 19: cheap winning, and Steve where you are. Yes, they were

2383
02:00:04,200 --> 02:00:06,560
Speaker 19: talking about serially, and Steve about your wardrobe and all

2384
02:00:06,600 --> 02:00:09,840
Speaker 19: that stuff you got in your close You got so

2385
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:13,040
Speaker 19: much stuff from the Houston Oilers along with the Buffalo

2386
02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:16,360
Speaker 19: Bills along. He was going, now that I love you man,

2387
02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:18,120
Speaker 19: I love you guys. Thanks for taking it all.

2388
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Right, Thanks buch a lot in there. Thanks for the

2389
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:25,640
Speaker 2: kind words too. I will just say, yeah, I mean,

2390
02:00:25,720 --> 02:00:27,560
Speaker 2: the one seed is a nice thing for them to

2391
02:00:27,640 --> 02:00:30,640
Speaker 2: shoot for. I would imagine it lives in the back

2392
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:35,160
Speaker 2: of their head somewhere. But I think the weekly focus

2393
02:00:35,280 --> 02:00:37,160
Speaker 2: is to just go one and oh and I think

2394
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:41,600
Speaker 2: that's pretty straightforward. And then you know, as far as offense, yeah,

2395
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'd like to score as many points as

2396
02:00:43,240 --> 02:00:47,160
Speaker 2: they possibly can to force the opponent to be one dimensional, knowing, hey,

2397
02:00:47,200 --> 02:00:49,120
Speaker 2: we got to throw the ball just to stay and

2398
02:00:49,600 --> 02:00:53,120
Speaker 2: keep up with this Bill's offense. That's the ideal scenario

2399
02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:55,800
Speaker 2: because then that allows Buffalo's pass rush on defense to

2400
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:57,640
Speaker 2: take over because they know the pass is coming because

2401
02:00:57,720 --> 02:01:01,920
Speaker 2: that team's got to catch up. It only happened in

2402
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:06,280
Speaker 2: the Jets game really so far, so it's easier said

2403
02:01:06,320 --> 02:01:09,600
Speaker 2: than done no matter who you're playing. So we'll just

2404
02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:13,200
Speaker 2: have to see how it plays out week to week,

2405
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:16,720
Speaker 2: where you know, could they run off and leave the

2406
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:20,760
Speaker 2: Saints this week, Yes, that could definitely happen, but most

2407
02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:23,360
Speaker 2: weeks it's hard for it to happen. Even as good

2408
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:25,880
Speaker 2: as the Bills are, because I think they're still figuring

2409
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:30,200
Speaker 2: some stuff out on defense, and more often than not,

2410
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:33,440
Speaker 2: as we know, the statistics say seventy five percent of

2411
02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:36,280
Speaker 2: games come down to one score in this league. Look

2412
02:01:36,320 --> 02:01:39,320
Speaker 2: what happened this past week, had like five six comebacks

2413
02:01:39,360 --> 02:01:40,680
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. It's crazy.

2414
02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wild. And you look at some of the Saints'

2415
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:47,680
Speaker 3: stats to start the season, not great, just averaging under

2416
02:01:47,840 --> 02:01:50,720
Speaker 3: sixteen points per game. So this could be a game

2417
02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:54,120
Speaker 3: similar to the Jets game, where you do see Buffalo's

2418
02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:56,880
Speaker 3: defense go off with their pass rush. If they have

2419
02:01:57,480 --> 02:02:00,360
Speaker 3: a decent lead, then it's another game for full to

2420
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:03,640
Speaker 3: work on. Okay, who are we as a pass rush unit?

2421
02:02:03,720 --> 02:02:07,840
Speaker 3: As we start to figure these things out, you don't

2422
02:02:07,880 --> 02:02:10,200
Speaker 3: want this team to be peaking right now. So I'm

2423
02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:13,240
Speaker 3: okay with Buffalo's defense still figuring out who they are

2424
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:16,920
Speaker 3: and still ironing some things out with players who are

2425
02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:20,760
Speaker 3: suspended with players who are injured. I mean, imagine what

2426
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:24,400
Speaker 3: this defense could look like in week eight or nine

2427
02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:28,360
Speaker 3: when you have Larry Ogunjobi, you have Michael Hoyt, Ed

2428
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:32,600
Speaker 3: Oliver is healthy, Maxwell Harriston is into the fold, Matt

2429
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:35,800
Speaker 3: Mulano is hopefully healthy as well. You could be at

2430
02:02:35,880 --> 02:02:39,480
Speaker 3: full strength and catching teams at the midpoint of the

2431
02:02:39,560 --> 02:02:42,960
Speaker 3: season where they've been watching tape on. Yes, the defense

2432
02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:45,960
Speaker 3: will be similar, but they've been watching tape on different

2433
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:47,880
Speaker 3: guys who are in the game and maybe some different

2434
02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:51,240
Speaker 3: things that Buffalo is doing to that point. Switch things

2435
02:02:51,320 --> 02:02:53,240
Speaker 3: up in week eight or nine and you're at full

2436
02:02:53,280 --> 02:02:54,800
Speaker 3: strength and can foolsome people.

2437
02:02:55,160 --> 02:02:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you don't want to be peaking in September.

2438
02:02:57,600 --> 02:03:00,160
Speaker 2: You want to be peaking in December and January. That's

2439
02:03:00,160 --> 02:03:02,160
Speaker 2: when you want to be peaking. And the Bills know

2440
02:03:02,240 --> 02:03:06,000
Speaker 2: they have stuff to fix, probably on all three phases,

2441
02:03:06,520 --> 02:03:08,560
Speaker 2: and they'll get to work on those each and every week.

2442
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:11,960
Speaker 2: Whatever is on the list to Tom in North Buffalo,

2443
02:03:12,040 --> 02:03:12,320
Speaker 2: what's up?

2444
02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:12,600
Speaker 8: Tom?

2445
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,280
Speaker 20: Oh, Hi, Chris and Maddy, thanks for taking my car.

2446
02:03:17,560 --> 02:03:20,200
Speaker 20: I really plays with the direction the Bills are going.

2447
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 20: I mean, we can't we really can't complain. I do

2448
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:27,680
Speaker 20: wonder though about Greg Russeau. I haven't noticed him at all,

2449
02:03:27,760 --> 02:03:30,440
Speaker 20: and you know we had that big extension, but he's

2450
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:33,120
Speaker 20: just not been noticeable. And you know we've noticed Joey

2451
02:03:33,160 --> 02:03:37,000
Speaker 20: Bosa quite a bit, but what's up with Greg Russou

2452
02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:38,960
Speaker 20: and he seems to be invisible.

2453
02:03:39,320 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good question, and actually coach McDermott was

2454
02:03:42,640 --> 02:03:46,560
Speaker 2: asked that question last Friday, the day after the game. Yeah,

2455
02:03:46,640 --> 02:03:50,200
Speaker 2: I haven't. I haven't noticed his presence yet. He hasn't

2456
02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:53,160
Speaker 2: made his presence felt in games as we are used

2457
02:03:53,200 --> 02:03:58,440
Speaker 2: to seeing in previous seasons. Coach McDermott really didn't have

2458
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:02,880
Speaker 2: a direct answer as to what's going on there. I mean,

2459
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:07,480
Speaker 2: through three games, he's got five tackles, a half a sack,

2460
02:04:08,160 --> 02:04:10,640
Speaker 2: and then he's got a couple of passes batted out

2461
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 2: of the air and a quarterback hit. This is the

2462
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:16,320
Speaker 2: guy that led this team last year in sacks, tackles,

2463
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:19,080
Speaker 2: for lost quarterback hits and was tied for the team

2464
02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:23,360
Speaker 2: leading force fumbles with three. So I want to believe

2465
02:04:23,400 --> 02:04:25,920
Speaker 2: it's in there and it'll show up sooner rather than later.

2466
02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:31,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, after three games, he hasn't seemed like the

2467
02:04:31,120 --> 02:04:34,240
Speaker 2: same impactful player he was last year at this time.

2468
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:35,640
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I think he had three

2469
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:38,640
Speaker 2: sacks through the first three games last year, So he

2470
02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:41,440
Speaker 2: got off to a really fast start last year. Not

2471
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:43,880
Speaker 2: so much this year. Hopefully that turns for him soon.

2472
02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:46,400
Speaker 3: He had three sacks in the first game of the.

2473
02:04:46,400 --> 02:04:48,560
Speaker 2: First against the Cardinals, That's what it was.

2474
02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you hope it I mean not hope it's

2475
02:04:52,040 --> 02:04:53,920
Speaker 3: in there. You know it's in there because we've seen

2476
02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:57,480
Speaker 3: Greg Russo register eight sacks twice in his career so far,

2477
02:04:58,160 --> 02:05:01,680
Speaker 3: once in his second season, and twenty twenty four. You're

2478
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:04,240
Speaker 3: waiting for him to hit that ten mark, that double

2479
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:07,320
Speaker 3: digit number, and a lot of us were confident and

2480
02:05:07,640 --> 02:05:09,480
Speaker 3: still could be that he could do it this season

2481
02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:12,640
Speaker 3: because you have a guy in Joey Bosa next to you,

2482
02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:16,520
Speaker 3: and you have some new youth in the middle in

2483
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:20,840
Speaker 3: Dion Walker in TJ. Sanders who can hopefully help push

2484
02:05:20,920 --> 02:05:23,160
Speaker 3: the pocket so that you can get a favorable one

2485
02:05:23,200 --> 02:05:26,480
Speaker 3: on one matchup and go after the quarterback. So I

2486
02:05:26,600 --> 02:05:29,480
Speaker 3: don't think that book is closed yet on Greg Russe.

2487
02:05:29,640 --> 02:05:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean we're just through three weeks of the season. Yes,

2488
02:05:31,920 --> 02:05:33,880
Speaker 3: you would want to see it out of Russou so far,

2489
02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:36,120
Speaker 3: but maybe it's coming in the next few weeks.

2490
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:39,120
Speaker 2: I did find it interesting that in coach McDermott's response

2491
02:05:39,280 --> 02:05:44,480
Speaker 2: he referenced ed Oliver's absence as part of the reason,

2492
02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:47,120
Speaker 2: which leads me to believe that the film is telling

2493
02:05:47,240 --> 02:05:49,960
Speaker 2: him that with Oliver out of the lineup, Rousseau is

2494
02:05:49,960 --> 02:05:54,080
Speaker 2: getting more attention from opposing offensive lines. That that was

2495
02:05:54,160 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 2: my interpretation of what he said. I'll have to look

2496
02:05:57,560 --> 02:05:59,480
Speaker 2: back at the last couple of games without ending the

2497
02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:02,120
Speaker 2: lineup and see if that's really the case, but he

2498
02:06:02,240 --> 02:06:06,400
Speaker 2: certainly intimated that that was the situation. There haven't cracked

2499
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet open yet, so we're going to do

2500
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:11,160
Speaker 2: that now. Tweet sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems,

2501
02:06:11,200 --> 02:06:14,320
Speaker 2: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. What

2502
02:06:14,400 --> 02:06:16,760
Speaker 2: does the first three weeks told you about the Bills

2503
02:06:16,800 --> 02:06:20,000
Speaker 2: and they're standing in the AFC? Connor says, these wins

2504
02:06:20,120 --> 02:06:22,200
Speaker 2: early on in the season are going to be critical

2505
02:06:22,360 --> 02:06:25,160
Speaker 2: down the stretch. Have to win the games the Bills

2506
02:06:25,240 --> 02:06:28,760
Speaker 2: are supposed to win. I do want to see Jackson

2507
02:06:28,880 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 2: Hawes start these next three games similar to Oh No

2508
02:06:33,480 --> 02:06:36,320
Speaker 2: Land in Jackson. I do want to see Jackson start

2509
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:39,520
Speaker 2: these next three games, similar to Javon Solomon in the

2510
02:06:39,560 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 2: first three games. Need to see what they have before

2511
02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:47,280
Speaker 2: Hoyt returns. It's interesting that he mentions that because coach

2512
02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:49,839
Speaker 2: mcdermain was asked about Landon Jackson as well on Friday

2513
02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:52,800
Speaker 2: and he said he's getting close to earning a jersey

2514
02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:56,800
Speaker 2: on game day. So we'll have to wait and see

2515
02:06:56,800 --> 02:07:00,800
Speaker 2: how soon that comes. And look not to bag on

2516
02:07:00,880 --> 02:07:05,000
Speaker 2: the Saints, but if you wanted a game to get

2517
02:07:05,080 --> 02:07:10,000
Speaker 2: a rookie to get some snaps and you believe you

2518
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:13,560
Speaker 2: have a really good chance of being comfortably ahead, this

2519
02:07:13,640 --> 02:07:15,640
Speaker 2: week could be an opportunity to have land In Jackson

2520
02:07:15,720 --> 02:07:17,640
Speaker 2: up and active and get him snaps on the field.

2521
02:07:17,880 --> 02:07:21,400
Speaker 3: Definitely, I think this could be a game, especially because

2522
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:24,200
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott said on Friday he was close to getting

2523
02:07:24,200 --> 02:07:27,200
Speaker 3: a jersey last week for the Dolphins game. So maybe

2524
02:07:27,240 --> 02:07:30,120
Speaker 3: you see some things that are good in practice this week.

2525
02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:33,360
Speaker 3: You feel good about the long break, not that Jackson

2526
02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:36,360
Speaker 3: has been active, but you feel good about the extra

2527
02:07:36,480 --> 02:07:39,360
Speaker 3: days that he's had maybe to do things on the field,

2528
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:42,480
Speaker 3: to do things on his own in the training room

2529
02:07:42,560 --> 02:07:44,280
Speaker 3: as well. And feel like this is a good time

2530
02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:46,720
Speaker 3: to give him a jersey, because, yes, you do want

2531
02:07:46,720 --> 02:07:49,320
Speaker 3: to figure out who he is before Michael Hoyt and

2532
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 3: Larry Ogin Joeb come back. You want to figure out

2533
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:54,840
Speaker 3: who all your pieces are so that when those two

2534
02:07:55,200 --> 02:07:58,360
Speaker 3: do come back into the mix, you feel like you're

2535
02:07:58,520 --> 02:08:00,440
Speaker 3: adding them at full strength.

2536
02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:01,080
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2537
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:05,200
Speaker 2: Arnak on the tweets sheet says, I've learned that they're

2538
02:08:05,240 --> 02:08:07,960
Speaker 2: able to win dirty and having a lead on getting

2539
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:10,640
Speaker 2: the one seed is huge. I think a lot of

2540
02:08:10,720 --> 02:08:13,360
Speaker 2: eyeballs are on the Chiefs for obvious reasons. They've been

2541
02:08:13,400 --> 02:08:16,080
Speaker 2: the one seed for like the last five years. When

2542
02:08:16,160 --> 02:08:20,280
Speaker 2: the season ends in early January, I think the Ravens

2543
02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:22,120
Speaker 2: are a team to keep an eye on, and obviously

2544
02:08:22,240 --> 02:08:24,680
Speaker 2: that week one win is humongous because you have the

2545
02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:27,560
Speaker 2: head to head tiebreaker if in fact, you have identical

2546
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:31,120
Speaker 2: records at the end of the seventeen game schedule, I

2547
02:08:31,160 --> 02:08:32,920
Speaker 2: think there will be other teams to keep an eye

2548
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:36,080
Speaker 2: on two Chargers, although you're kind of hoping those AFC

2549
02:08:36,200 --> 02:08:39,160
Speaker 2: West teams beat up on each other. But if I'm right,

2550
02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:43,280
Speaker 2: the Chargers have three straight division wins here out of

2551
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:45,440
Speaker 2: the shoot. They beat the Chiefs in week one. They

2552
02:08:45,520 --> 02:08:48,000
Speaker 2: played the Raiders last week, right, yes, and then they

2553
02:08:48,080 --> 02:08:50,160
Speaker 2: just beat the Broncos yesterday. So they're three to oh

2554
02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:54,200
Speaker 2: and three and oh in their division. Like that's as

2555
02:08:54,240 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 2: close to being in control of your division as you

2556
02:08:55,960 --> 02:08:56,840
Speaker 2: could possibly get.

2557
02:08:57,000 --> 02:08:58,120
Speaker 3: Chiefs, Raiders, Broncos.

2558
02:08:58,520 --> 02:09:00,960
Speaker 2: So three and oh and three and zero in the

2559
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:05,120
Speaker 2: AFC West, that's pretty good. So I think they're a

2560
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:07,480
Speaker 2: team to keep an eye on as well. Not to

2561
02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:09,160
Speaker 2: mention the fact that they're not even playing a first

2562
02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:12,160
Speaker 2: place schedule because they finished behind the Chiefs last year,

2563
02:09:12,280 --> 02:09:16,640
Speaker 2: so that's that's not nothing. And as you can see

2564
02:09:16,800 --> 02:09:19,240
Speaker 2: our MSG viewers can see the Chargers schedule up on

2565
02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:22,760
Speaker 2: the board here at Giants this week, that should be

2566
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 2: a win. Commanders might be a tough game, but they

2567
02:09:25,040 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 2: get them at home at the Dolphins. Cross country flights

2568
02:09:28,040 --> 02:09:32,360
Speaker 2: are tough for them sometimes and Colts. It's a probably

2569
02:09:32,400 --> 02:09:34,800
Speaker 2: a tougher game, tougher game than they anticipated at the

2570
02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:37,520
Speaker 2: beginning of the season. We are up against the break.

2571
02:09:37,640 --> 02:09:40,320
Speaker 2: We'll step aside here, but have some final thoughts from

2572
02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:42,520
Speaker 2: the tweetcheet when we return on one Bill's Live, presented

2573
02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:59,600
Speaker 2: by Collide of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. I'll go

2574
02:09:59,680 --> 02:10:01,600
Speaker 2: back to on Bill's Live, Chris Brown Maddi lab with

2575
02:10:01,680 --> 02:10:03,840
Speaker 2: you some final thoughts from the tweet sheet where we've

2576
02:10:03,880 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 2: been asking you today what have the first three weeks

2577
02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:10,520
Speaker 2: of the NFL season told you about the Bills and

2578
02:10:10,720 --> 02:10:14,440
Speaker 2: the AFC as a whole. Herb says that the Bills

2579
02:10:14,480 --> 02:10:16,760
Speaker 2: are playing good football. Thank god. Other players will be

2580
02:10:16,840 --> 02:10:19,080
Speaker 2: back in a few weeks. Hopefully Max Harriston can come

2581
02:10:19,160 --> 02:10:22,720
Speaker 2: back after this week. Our defense needs to get better. Yeah,

2582
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:26,560
Speaker 2: we're gonna be on Hairston watch after this week because

2583
02:10:26,600 --> 02:10:30,480
Speaker 2: he went on ir right before the season started, and

2584
02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:33,080
Speaker 2: we know he's got to spend at least four weeks there.

2585
02:10:33,680 --> 02:10:37,560
Speaker 2: So after this game against the Saints, there will invariably

2586
02:10:37,680 --> 02:10:41,480
Speaker 2: be questions about what he's looking like status wise to

2587
02:10:41,560 --> 02:10:43,920
Speaker 2: return to the lineup. I would imagine there's gonna be

2588
02:10:43,960 --> 02:10:44,840
Speaker 2: a ramp up period.

2589
02:10:45,120 --> 02:10:46,720
Speaker 3: I think so, especially for rookie.

2590
02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, like get him in the practice setting. He's probably

2591
02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:54,400
Speaker 2: not in game shape right. And I also wonder too

2592
02:10:54,520 --> 02:10:56,320
Speaker 2: if they get to a point where once he does

2593
02:10:56,520 --> 02:10:58,840
Speaker 2: return to the team and it's fit to play and

2594
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:01,240
Speaker 2: is up on game day, even then, is he on

2595
02:11:01,320 --> 02:11:04,240
Speaker 2: a pitch count and is he, you know, platooning at

2596
02:11:04,280 --> 02:11:06,480
Speaker 2: the position with Tradevius or somebody else.

2597
02:11:06,680 --> 02:11:09,200
Speaker 3: Based on what we know about Sean McDermott, all of

2598
02:11:09,280 --> 02:11:13,040
Speaker 3: that sounds like it makes a lot of sense. I

2599
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:16,400
Speaker 3: don't know if he would rush any rookie into starting

2600
02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:19,560
Speaker 3: when there's not a huge, huge need at that position.

2601
02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:23,120
Speaker 3: We'll see how Trey White does in the next couple weeks.

2602
02:11:23,160 --> 02:11:26,640
Speaker 3: He had some good plays against the Dolphins. And then

2603
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:30,200
Speaker 3: in terms of what we've seen from Hairston, even though

2604
02:11:30,240 --> 02:11:32,880
Speaker 3: he's been on IR, he is around the position group.

2605
02:11:33,200 --> 02:11:37,760
Speaker 3: He's taken as much as he can get from these veterans,

2606
02:11:38,120 --> 02:11:40,120
Speaker 3: whether it be on game day, whether it be during

2607
02:11:40,160 --> 02:11:42,800
Speaker 3: a practice week. So he's soaking up as much as

2608
02:11:42,840 --> 02:11:44,160
Speaker 3: he can from the sidelines right now.

2609
02:11:44,320 --> 02:11:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's in all the meetings as you said,

2610
02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:49,320
Speaker 2: so he's up to speed on everything. Mentally, he just

2611
02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:52,440
Speaker 2: has to get his physical strength back, his conditioning back

2612
02:11:52,520 --> 02:11:54,400
Speaker 2: to what it would be required of him in a

2613
02:11:54,480 --> 02:11:57,800
Speaker 2: game because corners and receivers do maybe the most running

2614
02:11:57,840 --> 02:12:01,040
Speaker 2: of anybody on the field. David says, it tells me

2615
02:12:01,160 --> 02:12:03,080
Speaker 2: that the season is once again going to come down

2616
02:12:03,120 --> 02:12:05,360
Speaker 2: to that one play late in the Chiefs game in January,

2617
02:12:05,480 --> 02:12:08,800
Speaker 2: Casey is our only obstacle. I'll believe Baltimore can beat

2618
02:12:08,880 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 2: us in the playoffs when I see it. Okay, David, Wow,

2619
02:12:12,120 --> 02:12:14,680
Speaker 2: that's some confidence there. I don't know about you, but

2620
02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:18,560
Speaker 2: I'm much more concerned about Baltimore than I am about

2621
02:12:18,600 --> 02:12:22,120
Speaker 2: Kansas City. If you watch the game last night, you'd

2622
02:12:22,200 --> 02:12:25,720
Speaker 2: understand why Nate says that we are in control of

2623
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:28,000
Speaker 2: winning that first round. By hey, they are right now.

2624
02:12:29,400 --> 02:12:31,200
Speaker 2: I mean there are two other three and oh teams,

2625
02:12:31,280 --> 02:12:34,040
Speaker 2: the Colts and the Chargers. But yeah, we'll have to

2626
02:12:34,080 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 2: see where it ends up, you know, when we get

2627
02:12:36,000 --> 02:12:39,600
Speaker 2: to the end. In early January, Corey says that after

2628
02:12:39,680 --> 02:12:43,320
Speaker 2: beating Baltimore, we've got a manageable schedule up to the

2629
02:12:43,440 --> 02:12:45,560
Speaker 2: Chiefs game, and we should win that game. Also, if

2630
02:12:45,600 --> 02:12:48,200
Speaker 2: the Bills fix their run defense, the sky is the limit.

2631
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:54,200
Speaker 2: Go Bills. Yeah. I mean, I don't know about you, Manny,

2632
02:12:54,240 --> 02:12:59,240
Speaker 2: but I would say fixing third down is a bigger

2633
02:12:59,280 --> 02:13:02,440
Speaker 2: priority for me than even the run defense at this point.

2634
02:13:02,720 --> 02:13:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say the same thing. I'm trying to

2635
02:13:04,600 --> 02:13:04,880
Speaker 3: look up.

2636
02:13:04,920 --> 02:13:07,240
Speaker 2: So they really shut down the run game of the Jets.

2637
02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:10,240
Speaker 2: In Week two, after Derrick Henry ran wild in Week

2638
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:15,120
Speaker 2: one and they were okay against the Dolphins. Run defense wise.

2639
02:13:15,360 --> 02:13:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, their number right now, they're averaging or allowing one

2640
02:13:18,680 --> 02:13:20,440
Speaker 3: fifty six per game. That number is going to be

2641
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:23,840
Speaker 3: skewed for the next several weeks because of what happened

2642
02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:25,920
Speaker 3: against the Ravens. So they do rank at the bottom

2643
02:13:25,960 --> 02:13:27,960
Speaker 3: of the league right now. But I think third down

2644
02:13:28,040 --> 02:13:31,280
Speaker 3: defense is number one on my priority list.

2645
02:13:31,400 --> 02:13:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Corey says, or sorry, Greg says. I see a

2646
02:13:34,800 --> 02:13:36,640
Speaker 2: team that should win the AFC crown, and if they

2647
02:13:36,720 --> 02:13:40,320
Speaker 2: get healthy and players like Walker and Harriston ascend, then

2648
02:13:40,360 --> 02:13:42,880
Speaker 2: the Bills could be a Super Bowl champion. Unselfish team

2649
02:13:42,920 --> 02:13:45,280
Speaker 2: with unity that believe they can win any game, never

2650
02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:47,920
Speaker 2: out of it. Yeah, never out of it. I understand

2651
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:51,720
Speaker 2: that feeling for sure. And yeah, if Harriston gets back,

2652
02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:55,280
Speaker 2: you know you can get him in the lineup. You

2653
02:13:55,400 --> 02:13:57,880
Speaker 2: feel better about what you can call on defense just

2654
02:13:57,920 --> 02:13:59,360
Speaker 2: because of his physical skill set, and.

2655
02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:02,400
Speaker 3: You also feel better about the ramp up that Harrison

2656
02:14:02,520 --> 02:14:05,280
Speaker 3: might have on the field with the opponents coming up

2657
02:14:05,280 --> 02:14:06,320
Speaker 3: before you see the Chiefs.

2658
02:14:06,440 --> 02:14:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we said, we'll know more about Harston probably

2659
02:14:09,320 --> 02:14:11,839
Speaker 2: next week after he sits for the four weeks required

2660
02:14:11,840 --> 02:14:14,080
Speaker 2: for ir that's up it for us today, Maddi. Thanks

2661
02:14:14,120 --> 02:14:17,000
Speaker 2: for your help. Steve in tomorrow when we're back on

2662
02:14:17,240 --> 02:14:20,000
Speaker 2: at one o'clock, dan Orlowski as well. We'll see you

2663
02:14:20,040 --> 02:14:20,200
Speaker 2: then
