Speaker 1: this is well, you came in for your Mattie Awards

17
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: on Monday, let me ask you this. We had this

18
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: question on yesterday. Seeing as how we're taking questions today,

19
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: what have we learned matt Girl about the bills in

20
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: for six weeks? We had this question yesterday. I got

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: some good answers from some of our listeners. What do

22
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: you think I was thinking about this yesterday randomly, you know,

23
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: random thoughts pop in your head, and I was just

24
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: thinking about the season so far, and I think the

25
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: difference for me this year for this team, and it's

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: not the fact that they're winning in close games. I

27
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: know that was a big storyline leading into what was

28
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: it in Week five? When or week four and the

29
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: Bills beat the Ravens in a nail biter there, and

30
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: then we're able to beat the Chiefs as well by

31
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: four points. I think what I've learned about this team

32
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: is the fact that when things are not working, they

33
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: are able to course correct and to shift to something

34
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: that will work. And I talked about this in our

35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: postgame show. I love their ability to go to the sideline,

36
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: whether it's on offense or defense, and make adjustments and

37
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: come back out to the field and have those adjustments work,

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: or make adjustments at halftime. I think a lot of

39
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: people I don't know if they don't realize, but adjustments

40
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: are being made throughout the game. It's not just at

41
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: halftime where you go into the locker room and you know,

42
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: figure out, okay, this is not working for us, Let's

43
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: do this instead. They constantly do that throughout the game,

44
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: and I think you can do that when you have

45
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: an older, mature team who really understands the offense the

46
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: defense that they're playing in. So I think what I

47
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: have learned most is their ability to find something that's

48
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: going to work when something else will not work. And

49
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: you can point to Josh Allen and the way that

50
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: he's been able to find ways to win games for

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: this team. He's been involved in every single touchdown but

52
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: a rushing touch down by James Cook this season. He

53
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: has gone to his legs when he's felt pressure. He

54
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: has been able to pick up first downs in different ways,

55
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: find different receivers to get involved. I loved what we

56
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: saw at Devin's singletary against Kent City Chiefs. I think

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: getting that run game going, especially toward the end of

58
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: the season, is going to be really important for this team.

59
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: Josh's loved going to Stefan dig so far this season.

60
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that changes at all, but he's been

61
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: able to do it in different ways this year, and

62
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: I think that's really shown his maturity as an NFL

63
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: quarterback and being one of the best in the NFL. Now, yeah,

64
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: I would agree with all of that. It's been fun

65
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: to see Leslie Frazier elevate even further. I mean he

66
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: was we've thought here in Buffalo. I think most people

67
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: have thought appreciated his ability to coordinate the defense really well.

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: This year, I think they've got a newfound appreciation for it.

69
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: They're his use of Matt Milano, Tremaine Edmonds, the upgrade

70
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: that across the interior, the defensive line with Jordan Phillips

71
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: and Tim Settle and Dikwan Jones and of course had Oliver.

72
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: When all those guys are healthy, this defense really changes

73
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: a lot. I think, not only for the guys up

74
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: front and the pass rush with Vaughan and Greg Rousseau

75
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: and the bunch, but also for Milano and Edmonds. Those

76
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: two guys have elevated to a great degree this year

77
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: because I think of the quality of play in front

78
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: of him. Matt Milano is under the radar one of

79
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: the best players in the league, certainly one of the

80
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: best defensive players in the league. He made the timeliness

81
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: of his plays and the fact that he you know,

82
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: he's absolutely an incredibly sure tackler and he areways say, well,

83
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: he's a defensive player. You know, you see guys breaking tackles.

84
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: He's made one on Lamar Jackson, then the other one

85
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: on Pacheco against the Chiefs. He made those two tackles

86
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: stand out because they were out there by themselves, and

87
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: you think the athletes in the NFL, they're hard to

88
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: bring down, let alone when he got a lot of

89
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: space where they can run any where they want. He

90
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: has a great knackt Milano does of making, for instance,

91
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: either Lamar Jackson in the Baltimore game or Pacheco in

92
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game, he takes away one of their choice.

93
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: They can't go right or left. You know, they gotta

94
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: they can go right or left. He takes one of

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: those away and then get them before they can go

96
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: the other way. Um, he did a textbook tackle on

97
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Pacheco in the Chiefs game that was huge at tackle

98
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: for a loss. So you know, you talk about how

99
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier is using those guys and using Milano as

100
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: a spy on Pat Mahomes and the fact that his

101
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: instincts and his abilities really fit that scheme. The way

102
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: he has handled a defense with von Miller, and the

103
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: way They've changed the way they rushed the passer and

104
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: used his abilities and his I don't know, I guess

105
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: his cachet. I guess. I mean Von's gonna get doubled.

106
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: And to know that and to use it is something

107
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: I think Leslie Frasier deserves a lot of credit for.

108
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Those guys are playing really well on that side of

109
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: the ball. They're one of two teams in the NFL

110
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: that has held all of its opponents to under twenty

111
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: four points every game this season. The other one is

112
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants. So the Bills are really

113
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: playing well defensively, and Leslie Frasier really deserves a lot

114
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: of credit for making it happen. I think one thing

115
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: that's important to note with the defensive line in the

116
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: rotation there is their ability to keep von Miller at

117
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: a low snap count. Now you'd think, yes, we want

118
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: von Miller in every single play. He did play a

119
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: lot more in the Chiefs game, though. I'm looking up

120
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: the snap count for these defensive lineman and he played

121
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: seventy eight percent of the snaps, which I think in

122
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: most games he's been around thirty five percent. I think

123
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: you would see him up at seventy eight percent or

124
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: more if in other games other than the Chiefs, if

125
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: the defensive line wasn't playing to the caliber that it is,

126
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: and if they didn't have the talent that they did

127
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: on the defensive line to allow a player, a veteran

128
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: guy like von Miller to be able to rest and

129
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: when he is coming in for the snaps that he's

130
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: coming in for, whether it's third down, whether it's to

131
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: start off a possession, that he is really giving it

132
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: all that he got, all that he has because for

133
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: this defensive line that Leslie Fraser is running, they're rotating

134
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: guys so that they can wear out the opposing offensive

135
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: line by the end of the game, rotating through eight guys.

136
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: And what he's been able to get even when Jordan

137
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: Phillips and at Oliver have been down, has been really impressive.

138
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: To see the talent level that da Quan Jones has

139
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,559
Speaker 1: been really important for that defensive line. Tim Settle has added,

140
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: it's been great to see the growth of Greg Rousseau

141
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: and I did a deep dive kind of into Leslie

142
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Frasier's defensive mind and how he goes about things. And

143
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: you talk to players in the locker room and on

144
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: this team defensive players and they just have the utmost

145
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: amount of respect and trust and a guy like Leslie

146
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: Frasier and they know he's one of the ogs when

147
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: it comes to football. He played for the nineteen eighty

148
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: five Bears. He played on what is the best defense

149
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL for any team. So those guys have

150
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for him. But I think they

151
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: also have a lot of respect for the way that

152
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,479
Speaker 1: he goes about his business, the way that he portrays

153
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: a message to his team every single year and what

154
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: their identity is and what they're going to be about

155
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: and what they're going to chase after. And then he

156
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: also does a really good job week to week explaining

157
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: why they're going to do what they're going to do.

158
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: This defense changes a lot week to week, and I

159
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: think depending on what type of player you are, depending

160
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: on what type of group you have, I think it's

161
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: it's probably hard to go in every single week and

162
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: here somebody say we're gonna change our identity again. We're

163
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna change our identity again, and then you're questioning your coach,

164
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: like why are we changing what we're doing for somebody else?

165
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: But he does a really good job of selling. No,

166
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: this is what we need to do to beat Patrick Mahomes.

167
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: This is why we're gonna play and dime these snaps.

168
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: This is why we're gonna blitz on this certain play.

169
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: This is why we're going to hold back and not

170
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: blitz for most of the game. And the guys buy in,

171
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: and they buy in over and over and over again.

172
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: And I think what you see is the stats that

173
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: they're putting up when they're on the field being one

174
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the NFL, and they have

175
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: been since twenty seventeen. They rank super high in a

176
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: lot of categories. I think they lead the NFL for

177
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: takeaway since twenty seven team, they lead the NFL for

178
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: a least amount of passing touchdowns since twenty seventeen. I

179
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: think the team closest to them is the Minnesota Vikings,

180
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: and they have like they've allowed maybe like fifteen more

181
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns since twenty seventeen than the Buffalo Bills. So

182
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm super impressed with what Leslie has done since he's

183
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: come to Buffalo. I can't believe he hasn't gotten more

184
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: head coaching looks. We'll see what happens after this year.

185
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: With the rate and the pace that this team is

186
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: playing at. He's done an incredible job scheming for and

187
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: against really good quarterbacks and Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes.

188
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: It is really hard to come up with a defense

189
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: with a game plan and then go and beat those

190
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks because you know, whatever you throw out there, they're

191
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: gonna beat you a couple times. They're gonna make it hard,

192
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna make it a game. And I think what

193
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: defines a really good defense is their ability to push

194
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: through that and beat Lamar Jackson and beat Patrick mahone.

195
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: So when you look at this team over the last

196
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: couple of years twenty twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,

197
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: the defense and the offense, they're really complimenting each other

198
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. And I think that's what

199
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: you need, of course, to get deep into the NFL

200
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: playoffs and still feel fresh in late January and still

201
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: feel like you have something to give, and hopefully that

202
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: you're healthy as well. But the way that the offense

203
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: and defense has been playing together, how they can both

204
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: pick each other up when one side of the ball

205
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: isn't isn't playing as well, has also been really impressive.

206
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Through six weeks, No question, they've They've both played played

207
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: well on both sides the ball. We've been talking about

208
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: the defense and Leslie Fraser and some of the reasons

209
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: their defense has played well. I guess we should mention

210
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: they do have the NFL Offensive Player of the Week

211
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: again this week, Josh Allen. Josh Allen's an Offensive Player

212
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: of the Week in the NFL after his performance. Uh yeah,

213
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: right about now. Yeah, it's Josh's world. We're all living

214
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: in man. He's playing so well, the team is playing

215
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: so well. The performance he put on against the Chiefs,

216
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: it's hard to be certainly he's played better statistical games,

217
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: but you look back at the game and some of

218
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: the things he did, just a couple of crucial plays.

219
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: For instance, it was the third and thirteen play out

220
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: of their own end zone in the second half where

221
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: he gunned it out on the start to the seventy

222
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: five yard drive where I believe it was the seventy Yeah,

223
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: it was the It was the touchdown to was it

224
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: Gabe or was it stat anyway? I think anyway, Yes,

225
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: it was right before halftime and it was third and

226
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: thirteen and he throws an eighteen yard strike out of

227
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: the ends and after dodging a rusher eight yards deep

228
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: in his end zone, you're looking at a quarterback wondering

229
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: whoever it was like, this is a really hard position

230
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: to be in at this point in the drive, this

231
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: down in distance, they're on their one and I felt

232
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: like there was he was gonna do it. There was

233
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent chance of him doing it, because we

234
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: saw him do it the week or two weeks before that.

235
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: Get out of it was terriblesition your touchdowns again Steelers

236
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: the week before. They are not afraid. And I would

237
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: put this on Ken Dorsey a lot of it. Certainly

238
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: he'd trusts Josh, no question about it. And you've got

239
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: to him. Why wouldn't you. But the simple fact of

240
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: the matter is this, a quarterback who is an offensive

241
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: coordinator knows that a defense is it's most vulnerable when

242
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: they have the most field to defend. You can't get

243
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: any more field than that ninety nine yards right they

244
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: were on our one yard line. They gotta and they

245
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: come out throwing it. That's supreme confidence in the guy

246
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: you have pulled on the trigger and the guys around him.

247
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: That's a huge and for a lot of people that's

248
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: a huge risk. And we've been here in Buffalo and

249
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: you've seen it. This team, you know what, hand it off,

250
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: get a few yards, let's punt it out of there,

251
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: out of here, and get out of our own end.

252
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: This team's dropping back to throw it. It's a problem

253
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: for defenses because that's you know, the last thing they

254
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: want to do is have somebody miss a tackle and

255
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, everybody chasing them down the field, end of

256
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: the end zone. But that's a real possibility with this crew.

257
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: They have shown in two consecutive weeks their willingness to

258
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: have their quarterback drop back six or seven or eight

259
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: yards deep in their end zone and gun it, and

260
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: they've been successful both weeks. That's huge and I put

261
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: that on Ken Dorsey. He's the one that calls those plays.

262
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: And that takes an offensive coordinator I think who has

263
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: played the position to say, you know what, let's go,

264
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: you can do it. We'll be all right. I don't

265
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: know that Brian Daybole would have made those calls. Now.

266
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: I've seen Josh throw out of his own end zone,

267
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: but man o, man, two weeks in a row on

268
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: your two yard line. I think the experience that Ken

269
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: Dorsey brings to the table as a quarterback at a

270
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: Power five and in the NFL as well, to know

271
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: what they've got working for them rather than thinking about

272
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: what the consequences could be, and using all those that

273
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: leverage to give his guys a chance to be successful

274
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: coming out of there. And of course Josh threw that

275
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: ball as hard as he could throw it out to

276
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: the nineteen yard line. It was it was a spectacular play.

277
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: Spectacular play, and it got him off and running and

278
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: they went with pace afterwards. They went no huddle afterwards

279
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: because it was inside the two minutes. So all of

280
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: that stuff being said that both coordinators right now are

281
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: humming along. I think Ken Dorsey has found his you know,

282
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: found a comfort level and has shown both courage and

283
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: good sense in his play calling, and of course the

284
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: guy and then you know, Josh and the and the

285
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: players are really executing at a high level and the

286
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: same way we've been talking about with with Asie Frazier.

287
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: So it's the ninth time that Josh has been named

288
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: offensive AFC Offensive Player the Week, the second time this season.

289
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: His nine Player the Week awards are tied with Patrick

290
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes for the most among all players since twenty eighteen.

291
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: Another thing that I think is important to note here

292
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: is as Josh Allen is growing as a quarterback and

293
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: in his fifth season as an NFL quarterback, it's also

294
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: been interesting to me to listen to and to hear

295
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: the evolution of how coaches and players talk about Josh

296
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: since he's came into the enemy our own players are

297
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: around the league, our own our own And I'll point

298
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: to Sean McDermott. Not that Shawn has ever had anything

299
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: bad to say about Josh Allen, right, but I think

300
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: when you have a quarterback who's a rookie or who's younger,

301
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: who still has some question marks about the future of

302
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: his career or what he's going to be, you kind

303
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: of hold back on what you want to say about

304
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: that player because you don't want to let it fly

305
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: from from the jump, even if they truly believed in him.

306
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: I asked Sean when he spoke to the media on Monday,

307
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: just what it's been like to see his growth this

308
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: season and see him be able to turn it on

309
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: when the team needs it most and be the catalyst

310
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: for both sides of the ball, and his quote to me,

311
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: I thought was different than we've really heard him speak

312
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: about Josh, because yes, Sean does give kudos to players,

313
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: but I feel like sometimes he is not going to

314
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: go all the way, or is going to reserve some

315
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: of that, or he likes pointing out the team as

316
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: a whole and isn't really that much an individual guy

317
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: and has never really been that way because it is

318
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: a team sport and you don't want to show not

319
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: necessarily favoritism is the right it's not the right word here,

320
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: but you know, he's just been more of like, our

321
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: offense is really good, O, our offensive coordinator is really good.

322
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: It's not just one person, it's been the entire team.

323
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: But Sean said, Josh Allen is the face of the franchise.

324
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: He's the face of the organization. He's grown leaps and

325
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: bounds through his career to this point. It's been fun

326
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: to watch having a front row seat to watch his

327
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: development and growth. He seems so comfortable in his own

328
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: skin off the field and on the field. His leadership

329
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: and his influence on our team and on our organization.

330
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: It's just really fun to watch. As big as some

331
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: people made the game yesterday, the game against the Chiefs,

332
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: for him to be who he is and very comfortable

333
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: in that game. Says a lot about who he is

334
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: and where he is on his way as a football player,

335
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: not only the face of our franchise, but the face

336
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: of the NFL. I've never heard Sean say that about

337
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen before, call him the face of the NFL.

338
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: That is a really big compliment, really big kudos. It's

339
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: cool to watch these coaches and these players and the

340
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: players have really bought into Josh for a long time.

341
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: And of course Sean mc has bought into Josh since

342
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: Josh walked in because they drafted him where they drafted

343
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: him at for a reason. But to be able to

344
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: see these coaches from year to year kind of ride

345
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: for their guy even more, really really put confidence in

346
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: them and really believe in what they're doing. Calling Josh

347
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: Allen the face of the NFL. I haven't heard that

348
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: from coach McDermot before, and I just thought that was

349
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: really cool. Yeah, I would agree with it. I at

350
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: this point, you know this and it could and it

351
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: will evolve from here. I mean, you see other guys

352
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: who have great games or a great stretch of weeks.

353
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: Josh had been the offensive player of the week for

354
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: two games two weeks straight. Now he's sitting on a

355
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: bye week, so there will be other guys who will

356
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: emerge and be what do you call it, the flavor

357
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: of the week. You know, Josh is going to be

358
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: in the conversation every week. He's He's where we have

359
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: seen Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady weekend week out throughout

360
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: their careers, and Ben Roethlisberger when he played, and Peyton

361
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: Manning when he played. You can go down the list

362
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: all the way back to Jim Kelly, to John Elway,

363
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: to Joe Montana, Steve Young, uh Warren Moon, to all

364
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: these guys who have been a part of the league

365
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: and played at a high level at that position for

366
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: an extended amount of time. Josh has done that for

367
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: the last three years. He has been in an elite

368
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL twenty twenty one and twenty two.

369
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: And it's going to continue, um, because that's who he

370
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: is now. I mean, there's just no getting around it.

371
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: He's the guy now. And so now it's not just

372
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: Bill's mafia who see it and believe it and trumpet it.

373
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: Now you got yeah, now you got just people around

374
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: the NFL. UM, you know the commercials aside. You know

375
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: the fact that he's becoming becoming commercials. The word is ubiquitous,

376
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, everywhere if you're if you're looking at NFL

377
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: rhetoric or reading articles or doing it, he's in He's

378
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: in there, He's in it. He's mentioned. Yeah. When you

379
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: turn on the TV and you're watching commercials, um, whether

380
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: it's commercials teasing NFL games or the NFL as a whole,

381
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: you see bills a part of those highlights. Now that's right.

382
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: A few years ago, the bills were not a part

383
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: of any of those highlights. It took it, you know,

384
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: it took a league wide pole to the only highlight

385
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: that you might have seen was Derrick Henry stiff arming.

386
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Um right, Jordan, Yeah, yes, that's right. Josh Gordon. Yeah,

387
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: not Josh Gordon, Josh Norman a couple of years ago.

388
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, but here I'm with you and

389
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: McDermott is right. But having said that about Josh and

390
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: how hard he's worked and how good he's gotten and

391
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: how well he's playing, and how bright his future is

392
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: and his present, it's still about the team and how

393
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: well Von Miller the contribution von Miller has brought to

394
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: the table the things that Devin Singletary and Steph Diggs

395
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: is a dynamite wide receiver. Gabe Davis is a phenomenal player.

396
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: UM Dawson Knox is better and better and better. The

397
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: offensive line is better, the defensive line is better. It

398
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: has been Brandon Bean, Sean McDermott and the entire football

399
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: organization of the Buffalo Bills who have crescendoed to not

400
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: only get to this point. But I've said it one

401
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: hundred times, a man, I don't know what you think

402
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: about it. I've said it one hundred times since twenty twenty.

403
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: This team has been good enough, talented enough to go

404
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: to and win the Super Bowl, and they've learned some

405
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: hard lessons about why they haven't done that. They're running

406
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 1: out of things they have to learn, you know what

407
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean. Um, Certainly, any team on any given Sunday

408
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: can play well enough to beat you. But the Bills

409
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: play well enough, even on their bad days, to be

410
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: good teams, and so they're they're humming along now. Injuries

411
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: have been a part of the equation this year, which

412
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: which it hasn't been in twenty or twenty one. They've

413
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: handled it. They've handled it extremely well. So it's just

414
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: been a lot of fun to watch him. To this

415
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: point of the season. We're at the bye week and

416
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: we're kind of doing a self evalue with self scouting,

417
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: and we've talked about I mean, when you talk about

418
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: the Bills running game, well this this last week and

419
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: now you're splitting hairs, what are you going to criticize

420
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: about this team? What really are you going to criticize? Um?

421
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: They really played extremely well and then when they didn't,

422
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: they adjusted and got themselves back on track. So we

423
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: got we got eleven twelve more weeks to watch this

424
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: team play and to get into the playoffs, and uh,

425
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be a fun trip. I

426
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: think that's the thing you've learned. This is a team.

427
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: My old college coach was a guy named Dennis Green,

428
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: and he ended up being the Vikings head coach for

429
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: a long time and also the Arizona Cardinals, the Arizona

430
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals head coach, and he said it, this Bills team,

431
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: they are who we thought they were. People thought they

432
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: were gonna be in the conversation for the for the

433
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and six weeks into the season. They are

434
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: the conversation and how much did we go when the

435
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: schedule was released. We looked at the first six weeks

436
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: of the season. Really, even into Week eight with the

437
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: Packers game, we went, oh my gosh, the beginning of

438
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: the season is a gauntlet for this team. If they

439
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: can get out four and whatever, if they can get

440
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: out you know, five and whatever, if they can get

441
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: out three and whatever, whatever. Yeah, the Bills are five

442
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: and one out of this gauntlet. That is insane, and

443
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: they're bitter. And I think Bills fans are bitter about

444
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: the way the Dolphins game got away. It could be

445
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: six and old. They're kind of bitter about the Dolphins

446
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: game because of the heat and the humidity and the

447
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: fact that and they were a little bit injured going

448
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: into that game already. I think Bills fans are bitter

449
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: that that game got away. They didn't know. But I

450
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of Bills fans feel like the

451
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins beat the Bills more so than the Bills because

452
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: of the heat and humidity and the injuries, couldn't get

453
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: it on track enough to beat them, and they almost did. Anyway,

454
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: And you know, the way the season has gone since

455
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: then kind of validates where Bills fans are about the Dolphins.

456
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: We'll see two will be back in the lineup this week,

457
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: but you know, so you're they're sitting here at five

458
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: and one got a bye week to get healthier and

459
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers coming into And by the way,

460
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: I watched the Jets play the Packers. What a question

461
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: mark type of game. Yeah, I don't know what to

462
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 1: think because that's the only game I've watched the Jets

463
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: full full, full on and the Packers have been on

464
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: a on a primetime game I think already. And I

465
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: don't know, I can't remember where it was, but I

466
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: feel like I've seen them play, right, I think it

467
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: was the beginning of the era. Yeah, it was early on.

468
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: But the I don't know. Oh yeah, I think I

469
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: saw him play. I think I saw him play. Yeah,

470
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: twenty the Chicago they beat the Bears, Yeah, twenty seven ten.

471
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know how good the Packers are. The

472
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: Jets looked good. The Jets looked very good. The Jets

473
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: are a problem. And I don't think it's an aberration.

474
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: We've been you know, it's this is not you know,

475
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: our father's version of the New York Jets. They have

476
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: strung together a bunch of really good decisions. They've had

477
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: a couple of good drafts. They tired Robert Salo, and

478
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: I knew it then. I thought, that's a guy that

479
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: I hope they don't, you know, I hope they mess

480
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: it up and fire him. Right then, they had an

481
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: excellent draft this last year, and now this season, those

482
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: draft picks are playing really well, even for young players,

483
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: and the whole team is playing really hard. For Robert

484
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: Salo and they go in, they went into ambo Fields

485
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: and lumps up Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. I don't

486
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: know how good the Packers are. They're obviously not the

487
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: thirteen and three team that we've seen the last two years,

488
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: but they got lumped up by a New York Jet team.

489
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: So when you talk about, you know, the Bills and

490
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: how this season's got to go, and you know, we

491
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: had this conversation yesterday Maddie that, yeah, the front half

492
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: of the schedule, the front six games of the schedule,

493
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: we thought they were going to be much more difficult

494
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: to win. Now we're five and one, but now the

495
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: back half the schedule doesn't the cake walk, we thought of, No,

496
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't, I think before we go to break another

497
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: thing that I wanted to point out about this team

498
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: here through six weeks, um has just also been their

499
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: their calmness and all of it too. This is a

500
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: team that looks so calm in the heat of the moment.

501
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: It is because of their matureness. It is because some

502
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: guys are are getting older and growing. It is because

503
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: you have a guy like von Miller on your team

504
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: who has played twelve years in the NFL. Your quarterback

505
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: is not a young rookie anymore. I also have loved

506
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: the way that they compliment each other. It's such a

507
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: complimentary team. The way that Stefan Diggs can help out

508
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the way that Josh can feed a ball

509
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: to Gabe Davis, the way that the offensive line can

510
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: help Devin Singletary get involved in things. The way that

511
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: Von Miller has even complimented the offense by getting off

512
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: the field quickly and giving the ball right back to

513
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. The way that the safeties have played together

514
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: without Micah Hyde and without Jordan Poyer when he hasn't

515
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: been in the lineup. The way rookie cornerbacks have been

516
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: able to play together in Christian Benford and Kayer Elam.

517
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: Of course, the way that Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano

518
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: are the perfect parent and have been slid for so

519
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: many years. And the way that the defensive line has

520
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: successfully rotated through guys through six weeks in the season.

521
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: The first year that this defensive line tried to rotate,

522
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: it did not work for them. It did not work,

523
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: and they went back to we're not going to rotate.

524
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: They tried again the second year. This is the second

525
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: year in a row this rotation has really worked. And

526
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: Eric Washington, our defensive line coach, is you can thank

527
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: him for that. This defensive line really buys into to

528
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: what he has to say. So I've also loved the

529
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: way that this team compliments each other when they're on

530
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: the field and playing together. It's not easy to find

531
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: these pieces that fit like a puzzle together and just work. Yeah,

532
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: I think it's it's really cool to see that. You know,

533
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: as Bills fans, everybody's just going gagall Like the Chiefs

534
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: game that everybody was just all in a knot over

535
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: how they were going to play. Could they beat him?

536
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: In Kansas City? And are we going to be, you know,

537
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: chasing them now for the rest of the season, And

538
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: everybody was just there's a little a lot of angst.

539
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: Now it's amazing to see how calm and collected the

540
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: team is in those moments. We're all out here jumping

541
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: up and down, we're like pulling our hair out, and

542
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: those guys are just you know, there it's third and

543
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: thirteen on their own one yard line and they bang

544
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: it out of there. Let's go. It's It's pretty impressive

545
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of fun. I think it's one

546
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: of the it is one of the cool things about this.

547
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take a break, but when we

548
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna have Field Yates join us. We're

549
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk about some fantasy football, maybe answer some questions

550
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: later on as well, So don't go anywhere. One Bills

556
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: by Fan Duel make every moment more and feel that

557
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: this is the perfect time to have you on because

558
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 1: we have now hit Week six, and I think as

559
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: we're all beginning to set our lineups, we're seeing, oh,

560
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: we have three people on our team that have a

561
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: bye this week, so now I need to go pick

562
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: people up off of the bench, or so and so

563
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: got hurt, you know, Hollywood Brown got hurt on my team.

564
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: So I'm like, do I trade? Do I pick somebody up?

565
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: What do I do? Both my quarterbacks are on buys,

566
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: So I love that you can help walk us through

567
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: what we should do here as we go through a

568
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: couple of players. Yeah, Maddie, it sounds like you and

569
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: I should potentially change jobs here. You probably have a

570
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: better insight on this stuff than I do right now.

571
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: But it's a weird week in Week seven with four

572
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: teams on a buy. Obviously the Buffalo Bills, who have

573
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: the two highest scoring players in all Fantasy football this year,

574
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Stefon dig So you might win your

575
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: matchup this week, but it would be like how the

576
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: Chargers beat the Broncos on Monday Night, a defensive struggle.

577
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: No first downs in overtime, and yet the Charger still

578
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: emerged victorious with a field goal. So let's go through

579
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: our lineup and we'll start at quarterback, and I'm gonna

580
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: I guess a little bit of a curveball here with

581
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, who, as we all know, not find the

582
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: end zone on Monday Night, the most passing attempts without

583
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: a passing touchdown in Monday Night football history. But he

584
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: plays against a Seahawks defense it has just been dreadful

585
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: all season really against both the run and the past. Well,

586
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: they do have some young playmakers that have stood out.

587
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: Tariq Wolan's a fifth round pick who has been extremely

588
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: impressive at cornerback. It feels like this is going to

589
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: be a higher scoring game, and I think that I

590
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: want as much of this game as I can get

591
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: in my lune, which is why we start with Justin

592
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: Herbert at quarterback. All right, let's go to a running

593
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: back next. Sell us on Damien Pierce and why he's

594
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: a good fit for this week. Yeah. So, if you

595
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: look at the fan duel pricing, Damian Pierce, who has

596
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: been a top ten fantasy running back, is not priced

597
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: within the top ten players. I don't have a perfect

598
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: reason for it. My best guest is because he was

599
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: on a buy last week, and sometimes these pricings get

600
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: up ended or potentially downgraded because of players coming off

601
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: of a buy or an injury, even on Monday Night

602
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: football appearance. But I've got Damian Pierce had seven thousand

603
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: and seven hundred dollars in the lineup and the Texans

604
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: were on a by last week because I just mentioned,

605
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 1: but from weeks two through five, Damian Pierce had ninety

606
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: point five percent of the rushing yards from the Houston Texans.

607
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: No player owned a larger share of his team's rushing

608
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: yards during that four week stretch, and I think it's

609
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: going to continue. They play the Raiders on Sunday. The

610
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: Texas are one of those teams that they just play

611
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: sneaky competitive football. They're not always winning, as a matter

612
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: of fact, they've won just once this season, but one

613
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: three and one and a team it's a tougher rout

614
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: and another running back to jam in the lineup this

615
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: week is Kenneth Walker, the third fellow rookie second round

616
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: pick out of Michigan State by way of Wake Forest. Initially,

617
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: he plays against the Chargers. I mentioned this game earlier,

618
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: and the Chargers kiss can't stop the run. They're allowing

619
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: the second most yards per carry so far this season,

620
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: and last week Kenneth Walker made his first start for

621
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: Seattle yet twenty one of the twenty three running back

622
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: rushing attempts, So if they're handing the football off, it's

623
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: almost assuredly going to Kenneth Walker, who found the end

624
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: zone as well. He's an explosive player. I think that

625
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: Seattle's draft class gives him some real reasons for hope

626
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: going forward. And then you go and it looks like

627
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: and I guess you're getting some early returns. Keenan Allen's

628
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: going to be back in the lineup this week, and that,

629
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, really helps a lot of fantasy owners turn

630
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: the corner and get back on track, right, no question

631
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: about it. And you're getting a bit of a discount

632
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: here on Keenan Allen, who's priced at seven thousand, three

633
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, probably more like an eight to eight thousand,

634
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: five hundred dollar player if he's going at full strength

635
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: and coming off of a typical Keenan Allen week. Let's

636
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: go back to this Chargers and Seahawks game again. I

637
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: want as much of this game as I can get.

638
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: The Seahawks have been arguably the weakest secondary in the

639
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: NFL on a per play basis. And I'll give you

640
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: the other two wide receivers while we're here, Brandon Ayouk,

641
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: who has thirteen point five Fantasy points per game with

642
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo as a starting quarterback going back to last

643
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: se season. And I don't know where you guys are

644
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: at on this one. Whether you think that the forty

645
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: nine ers find a way to keep things close against

646
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: Kansas City, but if things are kind of blown open

647
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: by the Chiefs, because Chiefs are a very good offense

648
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: and the forty nine Ers are so decimated by injury

649
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: right now on defense, we're gonna have to throw it.

650
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: So Brandon I who could benefit from a game that

651
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: has maybe more points than you might realize. And the

652
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: last one here is Chris Godwin, who the big concern

653
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: for Godwin coming into the season was that he had

654
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: a torn acl in December of last year and would

655
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: he be himself at the beginning of the season. Well,

656
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: he made it for Week one, got hurt right away,

657
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: missed two games. Now he's back and he's back to

658
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: playing a lot. He's basically an every down player for

659
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and they're a mess right now offensively. They're

660
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 1: all kinds of questions about why are things so disappointing

661
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: in that passing game. One thing that has been pretty

662
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: good is the volume for Chris Godwin price of just

663
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars. I think he has a nice game

664
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. And as we move

665
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: on to the tight end position, the New York Giants

666
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: have been rolling. They've won the last three. They're five

667
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: and one. Brian day Ball has done a great job

668
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: there and we kind of like rotten for them a

669
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: little bit until you know, if we would ever faced them.

670
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: But it's been fun to see what they've been able

671
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: to do. So why do you think a Giants tight

672
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: end could be the answer here for this week? Well,

673
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: this is a fun one. I don't know if you

674
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: guys watched any of the MBA that debuted last night

675
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: tipped off two games. But Charles Barkley and the Inside

676
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: the NBA team does the segment it's called who He

677
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: Played For? Where they asked Charles Barkley a name of

678
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: a player and he has to guess who that player

679
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: actually plays for. And I'm not sure too many people

680
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: would know Daniel Bellinger by name, but he's starting to

681
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: show them by game he's got some talent. Is the

682
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: rookie had a nice game this past weekend, found the

683
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: end zone for the Giants. And sure you guys are

684
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: well aware, but the Giants have just been beaten up

685
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver spot this season. Can Darius Tony

686
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: is still out, Kenny Galladay has been out. They were

687
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: already thin coming into the year. Multiplied that by Stirling

688
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: Shepherd being placed on IR. I mean every time he turned,

689
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: It's like the Giants are practice calling up a practice

690
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: squad wide receiver. So Daniel Bellingers had to kind of emerge.

691
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: They're already Finn at tight end as well. He's been

692
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: a useful part of the offense. Found the end zone

693
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: last week, and they're gonna need him again this Sunday

694
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars. One of the guys that surprised me was,

695
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm on ros st Brown, you got to Detroit wide

696
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: out as a flex position against the Dallas Cowboy defense.

697
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: That's surprising to me. I thought the Dallas defense was

698
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: pretty strong in the secondary. Yeah, this one though, Steve,

699
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: and you know that market well buying the dip here, right.

700
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: Monross Saint Brown one of the best wide receivers for

701
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: fantasy in the first four or three weeks of the season,

702
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: and he got hurt, then he missed a game, came

703
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: back and had to buy. So it hasn't been six

704
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: full weeks of him Monross Saint Brown, but when he

705
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: was at full strength, he was absolutely crushing it. He

706
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 1: was scoring points left and right. It felt like every

707
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: time I turned another opportunity for Amanras Saint Brown and

708
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: priced at seven five hundred dollars this week, you gotta

709
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: figure that this is about as low as it will

710
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: go price wise. The Giants, excuse me, the Cowboys secondary.

711
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: They'll have some talented players, but if you're going to

712
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: get them, I think you're going to get them from

713
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: the slot, which is why Amra fits into the lineup

714
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: this week. And as we round out our lineup, we

715
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: got to fill in with a defense. So why do

716
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: you think that Cincinnati Bengals are a good pick here? Yeah,

717
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: so generally speaking, I don't overthink it too much with defense,

718
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: but Cincinnati draws the Atlanta Falcons and the Falcons. I

719
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: give them a ton of credit for being three and three,

720
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: but they're a feisty three and three is how would

721
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: categorize them. They are six and oh against the spread,

722
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: which means that they win the games are supposed to win,

723
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: and then they stay close in games that no one

724
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: expects them to stay close in, and they do that

725
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: because they just slow the game down. They're the anti

726
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. They're calling a run play on fifty two

727
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: percent of their offensive snaps. That's the highest in the NFL,

728
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: even more so than the Chicago Bears, who everybody is

729
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: talking about how low their passing efficiency and volume is

730
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: the Falcons or even head of that pace or I

731
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: guess behind if you're talking about it for fantasy purposes.

732
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: So points are going to be hard to come by

733
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: for Atlanta consistently. They scored last week on defensive touchdown.

734
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: They played well. I'll give him credit against San Francisco,

735
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: but I think that Cincinnati can keep this game low scoring,

736
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: and with the Falcons now second or secondary now thinned

737
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: out because of Casey Hayward being placed on IR this

738
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: could be one where Cincinnati breaks that undefeated against the

739
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: spread streak for the frisky Atlanta Falcons, right, and I

740
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: would agree with it. Yeah, it's all about the matchup

741
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: for these defenses, and he kind of gotta go big picture,

742
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: which sometimes isn't the really smart thing to do in fantasy.

743
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: What give us? You said it earlier on Josh and

744
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs are the two highest scoring fantasy players so far.

745
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Like, give me an set spent

746
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: of like past players who have done that, does that

747
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: really does that translate into overall success for the team?

748
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean, is that like taken has that carried teams

749
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: into the playoffs? Well, here's some good news if you're

750
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: a Bills fan. The highest scoring player in fantasy last

751
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: year was Cooper cut by a mile, and right now

752
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: it's Josh Allen by a pretty significant margin. So Josh

753
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: is that one hundred and seventy two point nine fantasy

754
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 1: points right now? Next up is I mentioned Steph? Who's

755
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: that one hundred and fifty point nine points? So in

756
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: nearly twenty two point gap just six weeks into the season,

757
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: you extrapolate that over seventeen game season, that would be

758
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: nearly fifty points better for Josh Allen than any other

759
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: player in the NFL, and I think what I would

760
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: say about it, Steves, it aligns with what my eyes

761
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: tell me is that the Bills don't have the best

762
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: record in the NFL. The Eagles do right now. But

763
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: I do believe the Bills are the best team in

764
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. Statement victory this past Sunday against

765
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City going on the road, that's always impressive. Also,

766
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: the fact that they're doing this with so many injuries

767
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: on defense still right It's not like this defense is

768
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: anywhere close to full strength, and they won't have someone

769
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: like Micah Hide back at all this season. There are

770
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: some key pieces on that defense that aren't available. So

771
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: I think it aligns with the idea that the Bills,

772
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: at least to my estimation, are the team to beat

773
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They feel super if you ask me, Yeah,

774
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: all right. Feel now that we're through six weeks of

775
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: the NFL season, we've got our Sunday open, so we've

776
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: got some games to watch. What do you think are

777
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: some question marks that still remain for some teams and

778
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: could we see any of those answered maybe in some

779
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: of these games on Sunday. I'll give you some There

780
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: are four teams that have to answer some questions for

781
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: me on Sunday. They all play in the NFC, and

782
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: they were all supposed to be really good this year.

783
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: Agreement Packers, Campa Bay Buccaneers, Sabra Sika, forty nine Ers

784
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles Rams. Of course I brain farted halfway

785
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: through that list. But those four teams are all teams

786
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: that thought they were going to be super contenders this year.

787
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: They're all three and three. They all have had different issues,

788
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: and you would not have thought that the Packers and

789
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: Bucks and Rams would struggle this season because of offensive issues,

790
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: but that's happening right now. I mean, we are not

791
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: accustomed to Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford

792
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: looking mortal, but they all look moral right now. And

793
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying that those guys can't get

794
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: back on track. There are some of the best to

795
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: ever do it, and you would never bet against them

796
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: for a full season. But in the NFL, this is

797
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: a league where it can get late early. Now. Maybe

798
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: because the NFC doesn't have that many dominant teams, they

799
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: can hang in. But if I'm the Green Bay Packers,

800
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: who are heavy favorites to win their division, they better

801
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: get it going right now because that NFC North could

802
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: be taken over by the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, the Bills

803
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: have the Green Bay Packers in Week eight, and suddenly

804
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers don't look as scary as they

805
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: look on the schedule first got released after the Jets

806
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: beat the Packers. Now we're like, oh, well, we have

807
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: to see the Jets twice this season still, so we'll

808
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: see how that goes. But yeah, it's funny how things

809
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: have kind of unfolded in the NFL this year with

810
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: some of these superhero quarterbacks that aren't really playing like

811
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: superheroes this year. But Field, we want to thank you

812
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: for your time, thanks for helping us set our ultimately

813

856
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: you go. Thank you for asking, Joe. I don't have

857
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,680

860
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: Jesse says, what are you and your family dressing up

861
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: as for Halloween. And second, any thoughts on what happened

862
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: to Isaia McKenzie at the last game, specifically the fumble

863
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: on the toss. All right, we'll go number one. Halloween.

864
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: Are you gonna don't nothing? When's the last time you

865
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: dressed up for Halloween? That's what I want to know. Yeah,

866
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I don't even know that we've been

867
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know that we've been invited to an

868
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: adult you know, just a part treat with the with

869
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: the grandkids. No, I don't. Well, when I do I

870
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: take pictures, I'm not dressed up, you know, I mean

871
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: I dressed like a grandpa me. So um No. But

872
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: I did have my neighbor, uh, David Allen come over

873
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: the other day. He got he just got hit. You know,

874
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: they ordered it, you know, on Amazon. It came in.

875
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: He goes and he was so excited. You want to

876
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: come over? So he come over, showed me his costume costume.

877
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: It was awesome. They never had cast costumes like that

878
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. So I get a kick

879
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: out of the you know, the kids and their costumes,

880
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: because nowadays there's some pretty creative stuff out there. She's

881
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, slip on and pressed a chain. This one

882
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: light was blown up. You know he's kind of over yea,

883
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 1: so very cool. But no, I'm not dressing up for Halloween,

884
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: are you. I don't think I'll dress up for Halloween.

885
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: It's the Packers game, so my family's going to be

886
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: in town that weekend. So I don't know if we

887
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: had dress up as a family or anything. I do

888
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: love trigger treating. I went. The last year I went

889
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: trigger treating was my senior year in high school. I

890
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: I tried to push that for as long as I could.

891
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I am so tiny, I dressed up

892
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: as a Power Ranger. I was a Blue Power Ranger

893
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:54,919
Speaker 1: my senior year in high school. I put the mask

894
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: on and people probably thought I was an eleven year

895
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: old child. It was great. This just for those of

896
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 1: you who don't know Maddie is I'm five feet tall. Guys,

897
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: she says she's five feet tall. Oh and I give

898
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: her the benefit of the doubt. Hey, yes I am.

899
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: We can we can measure me that. The best thing

900
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: that I ever dressed up as, though, was a rodeo clown.

901
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: You know you sometimes have those rodeo clowns add events. Yeah, yes,

902
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: I dressed up as a rodeo clown. Maybe we'll put

903
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: it up on the screen later in the show or

904
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: at some point in the next couple of weeks. Is

905
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: Halloween is the ride around the corner? But I looked ridiculous.

906
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 1: Well that's what a clown is, right, that's me. That's awesome. Yeah,

907
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you a Maddie Award for your costume. Oh

908
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: my gosh. Yeah, we can rank our costumes. And as

909
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: for the second part of Jesse's question, an, no question,

910
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 1: he was off last week. It was not. It was

911
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: not the Isaiah McKenzie we've all grown to know and love.

912
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's in the rear view mirror. But it was

913
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: not his best game. Had a couple of passes you

914
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: would like to have seen him catch, slipped and fell

915
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: when he had was gonna go behind him for the catch,

916
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: and the end zone missed it dropping on a fourth down.

917
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a game I think Isaiah would want

918
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: to forget. But it doesn't give you any sense that

919
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: it's a chronic problem. Yeah, you know, bounce back and

920
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: have a better, better week of practice and get him

921
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: the next time. Yeah, everybody has an off game, but

922
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: he did. I think it was an off game for him,

923
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: no question. Yeah. I talked to him afterward for a

924
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: little bit. He seemed in fine spirits and knows that

925
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: he's got to be better than that. He's never down. No,

926
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,959
Speaker 1: he which never down, which is charm, which is great.

927
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: That's what you gotta have guys like that on the team.

928
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: So I think he can bounce back. I hope he

929
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: can bounce back. He's definitely a better player than that.

930
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: He's showed us that in multiple times throughout his career

931
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills. All right, when we come back,

932
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: we are going to have Greg Cosell on with us

933

00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: NFL season, especially with the Buffalo Bills, and look ahead

935
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 1: to what's next. So it don't go anywhere. Here. We're

Speaker 1: Scott lawn Yard, an official commercial sightwork partner of the

944
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and Greg. What an exciting game on Sunday

945
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: that the Buffalo Bills had against the Chiefs. It was

946
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: a big win for this team. It was a game

947
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: that a lot of Bills fans had circled on their calendar,

948
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: on their schedule when the schedule came out Week six,

949
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: matchup against a really tough team to beat, against a

950
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: team that before that matchup, the Buffalo Bills were one

951
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: in three against in the last four matchups. So what

952
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: did the Bills defense due to limit Patrick Mahomes and

953
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense last Sunday? You know, it was a

954
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: fascinating game, Addy, because it started out with these long

955
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: drives and no one scored, and you're starting to think, okay,

956
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 1: this is a season where scoring's down. You know, everybody's

957
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: thinking it's a thirty eight, thirty five game, and you're

958
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: starting to think, like, middle of the second quarter, what

959
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: are we gonna have a thirteen ten game? Right? You know?

960
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: With these two teams? You know, but both sides moved

961
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: the ball. But I guess what really stood out to

962
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: me was what the Bills did on third down. And

963
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: I think that that's, you know, that was sort of

964
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: where I think the rubber met the road a lot

965
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,720
Speaker 1: in this game, and that was the use of number

966
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: one dime. They played nine snaps of dime and number

967
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: two was the way they played, the way they used

968
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: Milano as a spy, so they rushed three, they used

969
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: Milano as a spy, and they played a lot of

970
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: man coverage, you know, which I think going in we

971
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: probably would have said that, oh they're not you know,

972
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: you don't with the players they have in the secondary,

973
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: the rookies Jackson, who's a young player, and then they

974
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: also played Bedford quite a bit, You're thinking that, well,

975
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, man coverage does not really seem like the

976
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: approach that you would take given who you're playing. So

977
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: they spied and it was very effective, and they played

978
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: man coverage and it turned out to be effective as well,

979
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: And I thought how much was it used where? And

980
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: we saw it on the last interception to end the

981
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: game where he deliberately flushed Pat Mahomes one direction or

982
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: the other and Milana was there looping around to be

983
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: right there when he got flushed out. Yeah, it was

984
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: that we saw it on that when certainly, and the

985
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: players validated it, they said that was kind of the plan.

986
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: Did they do that a bunch? I don't you know? Again,

987
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: I can't. I watched the tape today's Wednesday. It was

988
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: actually the first thing I watched Monday morning when I

989
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: came in, So I don't think. So. I don't want

990
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: to say, because Milano spied numerous times, probably nine or

991
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: ten times throughout the course of the game on third downs,

992
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: so I don't want to say for certain that they

993
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: hadn't done it, but if they had, it was maybe

994
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: only one other time. That time. It was clearly the call,

995
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: as though, as you said, the players validated because you

996
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: could see that Miller went right inside. He was not

997
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: working outside at all. He basically took a step outside

998
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: and then countered inside immediately knowing that if Mahomes moved

999
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: outside that Milana would be in a position to attack him.

1000
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: So that was clearly a call. You know, it's so

1001
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: interesting about Mahomes. We know he's a great, great player.

1002
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: That's not the point. But you could argue that, you know,

1003
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: he's kind of a trick shot artist. That's a part

1004
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: of his game. You know, he moves around a lot.

1005
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: Sometimes he moves when he doesn't have to. He's made

1006
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: so many great throws doing that that his track records

1007
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: suggests that that's truly special, and it is. But you know,

1008
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: then on that final play, for whatever reason, he he

1009
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,479
Speaker 1: just did not see to Ron Johnson, I mean, because

1010
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 1: if he did, he wouldn't have thrown that. So it's

1011
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: something just didn't register there. But again, he moved, whether

1012
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,959
Speaker 1: he had to or not as open for discussion. But

1013
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: when he moved, he tried one of those trick shot

1014
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: throws side arm, off platform, and that time it didn't work.

1015
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: After last season, the Buffalo Bills knew that they needed

1016
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: to bolster their defensive line and add some type of talent.

1017
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: So they went out and got von Miller because you

1018
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: need him and games like this against really talented quarterbacks

1019
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 1: like Patrick Mahomes, that has been what the Bills were missing,

1020
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: really and the last few matchups against Patrick Mahomes. So

1021
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: how big of a factor was von Miller in this one?

1022
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: Greg Well, I mean, he obviously had two sacks and

1023
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: he certainly had the big sack, you know, with just

1024
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: over six minutes remaining. That gave the Bills the ball

1025
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: back with an opportunity to win, which obviously they did,

1026
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: but it gave him the ball back with enough time

1027
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: that you didn't feel like it was it was panic time,

1028
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: that it was urgent, that every play had this incredible

1029
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: importance to it. So that was a critical play. I mean, obviously,

1030
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: any time you have a player like von Miller, and

1031
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: Steve can attest to this, it changes how offenses go

1032
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: about past protecting. See that's the critical piece. It's not

1033
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: just that he can make a play. And obviously on

1034
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: that sack he beat the right tackle and I don't

1035
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: believe they gave him any help there. But we've seen

1036
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,720
Speaker 1: teams change their past protection concepts because of a player

1037
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: like von Miller, and that's what you're ultimately hoping as well.

1038
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: You want an offense to chip or to keep someone

1039
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 1: someone in as a primary pass protector because then there's

1040
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,919
Speaker 1: fewer receivers who go out as primary receivers and that

1041
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: helps your defense because it's a numbers game. If you

1042
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: can't send out five eligibles, then the defense, I don't

1043
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: want to say they win before the snap, but they

1044
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: gain an advantage before the snap of the ball. So

1045
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: you know, that's what someone like Von Miller does. What

1046
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: does it say about you know, we talked about how

1047
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: the Bills rotate those eight guys through on the defensive line.

1048
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: What's it tell you that in a game like this,

1049
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: Von Miller got seventy eight or seventy eight percent of

1050
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: the snaps. I would probably say steven means that the

1051
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: game was pretty important. Yeah right, yeah, uh, you know

1052
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: when I think, look, obviously, you know Miller is not

1053
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: only a great soccer, but he's a great athlete. So

1054
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, so you want a player like that on

1055
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: the field because Mahomes moves so much. And I think

1056
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: that's probably another reason why he played so many snaps,

1057
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,280
Speaker 1: because we know that Patrick Mahomes is going to move

1058
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: in some ways. Mahomes movement has become a habit. There

1059
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: are times he just drops back and he moves. You know,

1060
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: if the primary is not immediately evident to him, he

1061
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: moves and you need people that can run him down.

1062
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: I forget which play it was when they ran him down.

1063
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: Miller did not get that sack, but you remember the play.

1064
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm talking about I just can't remember exactly

1065
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: where it was in the game where you know you're

1066
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: a fan, you're probably thinking, oh my god, Mahomes is

1067
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: running around, he's going to find someone for a forty

1068
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: yard game and they ended up getting him to the

1069
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: ground because the key a lot of times with Mahomes

1070
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: is not just the pressure, but it's getting him to

1071
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: the ground, and you need speed to do that. Right. Yeah,

1072
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: it's been nice to watch von Miller be able to

1073
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: help with that in that speed element. If we switched

1074
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: the offensive side of things. One thing that was impressive

1075
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs game and in Buffalo Bill's ability to

1076
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: win that game was you you pointed to the third

1077
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: downs and the third downs on offense for the Bills.

1078
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: I know they didn't convert a great percentage. They were

1079
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: four of eleven if I can remember, which isn't great,

1080
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: but I remember an important one where it was third

1081
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: and thirteen and they were backed up in their own

1082
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: end zone and Ken Dorsay calls a shot. What have

1083
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: you thought about his ability to dial up those those shots,

1084
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: those those big time plays at the right moment, and

1085
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen and the offense to be able to

1086
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: hit on those types of plays that he's dialing up. Well,

1087
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: that that, you know, as we were talking about before,

1088
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: that is just confidence in your quarterback. Because it was

1089
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: a close game, it had the feel that it was

1090
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: going to remain so and no one would have said, boy,

1091
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: terrible decision if they punted with just over him into

1092
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:53,959
Speaker 1: remaining from their own one yard and no one would

1093
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: have said, oh my god, that's a terrible call to

1094
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: do that. But they put the ball in Josh's hands

1095
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: and you could tell that he knew that he was

1096
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: not going to have a lot of time back to there,

1097
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: and he was right on the back of the end

1098
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: zone and he moved and again it was a case

1099
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: where there wasn't really pressure on him, but hey, I'm

1100
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,959
Speaker 1: not a quarterback, so I'm sure when you're back there,

1101
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: you feel like, hey, time's moving really fast. And he

1102
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: moved to his right and someone was there and he

1103
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: just stopped on a dime and he drilled it to Davis.

1104
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the play call was a basic play call.

1105
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: It was all we called dagger. It was an inside

1106
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: vertical and an outside dig. So it's that's what the

1107
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: dagger concept is. It was covered too, and you know,

1108
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: Davis ran the dig and Alan threw a laser, I

1109
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: mean an absolute laser, and you could make the argument

1110
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: that that was the biggest play in the game. Obviously

1111
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: they ended up with a touchdown on that drive. There

1112
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: were a couple other really important plays on that drive

1113
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: as well, but without that third and thirteen, Matty, you

1114
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: who knows what direction the game goes. That's right, it

1115
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: was an enormous It gave him a chance to stay

1116
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: on the field. And right after that, in the last

1117
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: couple of they were with pace. It was right before

1118
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: halftime and they went with pace and got the got

1119
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: the touchdown I believe the Gabe Davis. It was a

1120
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: half wound down and you know it. And then of

1121
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: course the Chiefs got the sixty two yarder to answer.

1122
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: But what that touchdown two came against zero? That was

1123
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: cover zero. Yeah, and they had they really you know

1124
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: they My sense was watching the tape that they anticipated pressure.

1125
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say they anticipated zero, although Steve Spagnolo

1126
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: is well known as a coach who does go zero.

1127
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: In fact, a year ago the Chiefs had more zero

1128
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: blitzes than any team in the league. They're right up

1129
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: there again this year. Because if you recall that play, Steve,

1130
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: they had Knocks and Singletary both offset in the backfield,

1131
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: so clearly by doing that they anticipated that pressure of

1132
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: some kind was going to come. It turned out to

1133
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: be zero, and they got Davis matched on the rookie

1134
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: corner making his first start Williams and obviously Josh made

1135
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: a great throw. Now the Chiefs were bringing it seemed

1136
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: to me and maybe you maybe if yours film so

1137
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: you could enlighten us. I thought the Chiefs were getting

1138
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: some really good pressure on Josh Allen in that first half,

1139
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: and I thought that play against the zero blitz kind

1140
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: of said made the Chiefs later on say well, wait,

1141
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: wait a minute, now, let's pump the brakes on going

1142
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: zero and sending so much pressure because they're starting to

1143
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: get a handle on it now. Certainly too, the Diggs

1144
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,919
Speaker 1: touchdown was the same thing, was it not? So did

1145
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: the success they had on those couple of plays make

1146
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: a difference in Spagnola's you know, desire to send pressure. Well,

1147
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on that touchdown they had a five man pressure.

1148
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Snee came off the tight slot, he's the slack corner.

1149
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Bolton added in as the sixth rusher, but he was

1150
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: late and it was a three by one set and

1151
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: they basically had Williams play pure man on Diggs, which

1152
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: was really interesting because the boundary safety had his eyes

1153
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: to the trip side, the three receiver side, So again

1154
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: from a coverage standpoint, they they allowed the rookie corner

1155
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Williams to play pure man against Giggs with no help

1156
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: over the top. But I think you're right. I think

1157
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: the pressure started to be dialed down as opposed to

1158
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: dialed up because quite frankly, the you know, Alan he wasn't. Overall,

1159
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: the numbers against pressure, by the way, were not good.

1160
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: Josh was only five or fourteen against five or more rushers,

1161
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: but he did hit the two tds, and I got

1162
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: the sense that they did kind of slow down the

1163
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: pressure as the game went on. When Josh was facing

1164
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: that pressure, the Buffalo Bills went to their rushing offense

1165
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: a little bit and got Devin Singletary involved in things.

1166
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: He had seventeen carries for eighty five rushing yards average

1167
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: five yards carry, which is a good number. It's it's

1168
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: the most rushing yards that Devon has had all seasons.

1169
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: So what do you make of the Bills going to

1170
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: the run and having some success in it when they've

1171
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: kind of struggled at times this season when they've tried

1172
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: to go to the run. Well, to me, Maddie, obviously

1173
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: you always want success in production. But to me, the

1174
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: big number seventeen because they actually came out running the ball,

1175
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, for them, I mean then on a run

1176
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: team in the pure sense, but they came out running

1177
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: the ball and they had early success, enough success that

1178
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: they could stay with it. You know, Singletary was getting six, seven,

1179
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: eight yards and that's what you want. It's just look,

1180
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: we know, and we saw it again in this past

1181
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: Sunday what Josh Allen is. But as we've discussed many

1182
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: times before, it's hard for your quarterback to be superman

1183
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: on every play. You know, he's superman on enough plays

1184
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: and we just mentioned that one, you know, the third

1185
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: and thirteen, you know, near the end of the first half.

1186
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: But you do need some semblance of a run game,

1187
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: and you do need some production. You know, the problem is,

1188
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: because you have Josh, if you start running the ball

1189
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: and you get no production at all. I can easily

1190
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: understand Ken Dorsey's mindset. The mindset is, well, we're gaining

1191
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: one yard, we're not gaining any yards. Why not put

1192
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: the ball in the hands of my best player and

1193
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 1: maybe the best quarterback in the league. And you know,

1194
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: I get that, but it's just hard to play that

1195
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: way all the time. And it's really hard on Josh.

1196
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll say it's not because of who he is,

1197
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: but it is hard. And Steve you know that. You

1198
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: know how hard that is for a quarterback. Well, it's

1199
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: it's a little bit like Russian roulette. You know, sooner

1200
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: or later he's gonna take a hit and he's got

1201
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: to come out of the game or it looks like

1202
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: he's got a concussion and they make him come out

1203
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: of the game, whether he's got a concussion or not.

1204
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: But you're right. I thought it was very telling that

1205
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: they had nineteen handoffs in this game. Yeah, yeah, and

1206
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: that was great. That was different, Yes, And I think, look,

1207
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: every game is going to be different. You know, we

1208
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: know that we're not going to sit here and say, well,

1209
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be the template going forward. We know

1210
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: it won't be exactly the same, but you know, they know.

1211
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny when fans think that coaches don't know,

1212
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: but they know that they have to have some semblance

1213
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: of a run game. They understand that. You know, like

1214
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: I said, if it's not working at all, you and

1215
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: you're not gaining yards and you're punting, you think, okay,

1216
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: well let's put in Josh's hands. He's pretty good. But

1217
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, at some point in big games, and even

1218
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: though it was the regular season, Sunday was a big

1219
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: game against arguably the two best teams in the conference,

1220
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna need to run the ball and

1221
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: you're going to need volume and production. And speaking of

1222
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: different players that the Bill's offense has used, another guy

1223
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: has been Reggie gilliam as a fullback in a tight end.

1224
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: What have you thought of his usage when he is

1225
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: in the game. Sometimes he's been in as an extra blocker.

1226
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's actually caught a couple passes and has had

1227
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown as well. So what do you think of

1228
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: his usage with how Ken Dorsey has kind of deployed

1229
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: him in the offense. Well, it's funny you say that, Mandy,

1230
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: because they're starting to use him a little more. I

1231
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: mean he's getting meaningful snaps. You know, last year when

1232
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: they started, he'd played four snaps a game. Then you know,

1233
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: it would seemingly increase. And now there are times where

1234
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: he plays twenty snaps a game and at times they

1235
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: throw the ball to him. I remember it was a

1236
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I think where they ran a

1237
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: mesh concept and he was the sit route right behind

1238
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: the mesh concept and they threw him the ball. I mean,

1239
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: he's and obviously scored the touchdown a few weeks ago

1240
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 1: on the first drive. I forget what game that was, Uno, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1241
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 1: I knew it was a night game. I just couldn't remember. Uh.

1242
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: But you know, so they do throw the ball to him,

1243
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: and you know, see the thing about playing him, and

1244
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: what's interesting is that you'll find out about the defense

1245
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: when they play him. Will the defense, you know, treat him,

1246
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: let's say, as a fullback and play bass, and then

1247
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: maybe you get some opportunities because when a defense is

1248
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: in their bass, you know what their fronts are likely

1249
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: to be, and you know what their coverages are likely

1250
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: to be because out of base defense, and Steve, you

1251
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: know this from when you played, teams tend to be

1252
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: a little more predictable from a tendency standpoint when they're

1253
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: in their base defense, right and that's what. And we

1254
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: saw Gillian on the field early in some of these

1255
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: games basically for that reason, right, you wanted to get

1256
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: an idea of what the defense. You know what Steve

1257
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Spagnolo thought about the Bill's offense and how he was

1258
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,439
Speaker 1: gonna label players when they were on the field, because

1259
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 1: there's always a question are they are they treating Gilly

1260
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: him like a tight end or are they treating him

1261
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: like a back and how are they matching up with

1262
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: him when he when he gets when he gets split out?

1263
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: And our teams saying, potentially with some will that hey,

1264
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: if they want to hand the ball off, more power too,

1265
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna play the pass and we're gonna put

1266
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: our nickel out there, and if they want to hand

1267
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,439
Speaker 1: it to Singletary, let him hand it off because we're

1268
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: more concerned about Josh Allen throwing the ball. How much

1269
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: of last year and I don't know if I don't

1270
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: want to go back down this rabbit hole too much

1271
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: for day secting this run game thing and what people

1272
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: think about that. But last year, the run game really

1273
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: came alive in the last month, month and a half

1274
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: of the seat the regular season for Buffalo, Devin Singletary

1275
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: became a force, you know, and it became something the

1276
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Bills fans really kind of latched onto this last offseason.

1277
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: How much of that was a response by Bill's opponents

1278
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: And I know you can't really say definitively, but yeah,

1279
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: your sense is we're teams like, please just hand it

1280
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: off to Singletary because Josh Allen and Digs and the

1281
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,959
Speaker 1: rest of these guys are so good, you know, we're

1282
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: more afraid of them doing it, So we're gonna invite

1283
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: them to run it a little bit and see if

1284
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: we can slow down their offense just by making the

1285
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: clock run a little bit and may have fewer possessions

1286
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: in the game. Was there any of that that you sensed. Well, again,

1287
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: that's hard to know, but you made a great point

1288
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: that a byproduct of running the ball is you do

1289
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: shorten the game. And I guarantee that defense is without question,

1290
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: would rather see the ball in Singletary's hands than Josh

1291
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: Allen's hands. And it's no knock on Singletary, but I

1292
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: think we all know that. So that's why I said,

1293
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: you might even see teams even when Gilliams in the game,

1294
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: even if they even if they count him as a fullback, Steve,

1295
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: you might see teams play nickel because figuring that, you

1296
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: know what, if they want to run the ball, let

1297
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: him run the ball. So we'll rally and we'll tackle,

1298
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: and if they get a good game. If Singletary gets

1299
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 1: a seven yard game, great, that's a seven yard game.

1300
01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: We'd rather not give it up. But we much prefer

1301
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 1: to at than Josh dropping back and making something happen.

1302
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: So it'll be very interesting how teams defend the Bills

1303
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: going forward. Now that, assuming that Sunday's game is a

1304
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: predictive indicator that they do want to run the ball more,

1305
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: we won't know that till they play more games, but

1306
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: I think this staff knows that the running game does

1307
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: have to be some kind of factor. Greg. Now that

1308
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: we're through six weeks of play, we're kind of looking

1309
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: back on the season so far and what's ahead. If

1310
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 1: we look back, what do you think Josh Allen has

1311
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: done differently or what have you seen that's been different

1312
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: out of him as a quarterback this year. One thing

1313
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: I pointed out earlier in the shows, he's been involved

1314
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: in every touchdown but the one rushing touchdown that James

1315
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: Cook scored. I would say that what started last year

1316
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: and is more apparent this year is patience. I think

1317
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: that Josh always has a big play mentality, and it's

1318
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: probably always had that since he started playing, but I

1319
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: think when you're a quarterback that is being asked to

1320
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 1: base basically run the entire offense. Again, now we get

1321
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 1: back to that run game discussion, well, let's put that

1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: aside for the moment. You have to be able to

1323
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: complete four yard balls five yard balls, because if you're

1324
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: going to throw and the pass games essentially going to

1325
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: be your foundation, Maddie, then you have to be the sustainer,

1326
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: not just the big play guy. And if you're going

1327
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: to be the sustainer, then you have to complete four

1328
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 1: yard balls and five yard balls. And when he came

1329
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: into the league, we knew he couldn't do that. He'd

1330
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: throw rocket balls and he'd miss guys. And now he's

1331
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: able to do that much much better. You see how

1332
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: many short throws that he makes, whether those are actual

1333
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: calls or whether he decides to just throw them based

1334
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: on the concept my guests is their calls. But he's

1335
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 1: showing so much more patience and command, command of everything

1336
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: that needs to be done in order to sustain offense,

1337
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's where he's continued to grow. Yeah,

1338
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: one of the things about this offense as well, Like

1339
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 1: last year, in the year before, they had Cole Beasley

1340
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,759
Speaker 1: in the slot. This last week they went with Isaiah

1341
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: McKenzie was back on the field after being out with

1342
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: a concussion. Did not Shakir and Khalil Shakir, which one

1343
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: let's now, McKenzie didn't have his best game, had a

1344
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 1: couple of drops, didn't seem like, he didn't seem himself,

1345
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 1: We'll just put it that way, which says something about

1346
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 1: our expectations for his productivity out of the slot. But

1347
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: Shakier seems to be steady, steady, steady, and McKenzie seems

1348
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:29,600
Speaker 1: to be have you know, he's speed. He's got some

1349
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: speed to offer. Which one of you, in your opinion

1350
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 1: or your insight, what's your hunch about what they do

1351
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,719
Speaker 1: at the slot spot going forward. Well, nothing's one hundred percent,

1352
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: let me start with that. But I think mackenzie's at

1353
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 1: his best when you're playing teams that play man, you

1354
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: know and you and you anticipate you're going to get

1355
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot of man. Because we've seen him in the

1356
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 1: past run away from man coverage, and I think that's

1357
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: what he does exceptionally well, and I think you can

1358
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: use him on jet sweets things of that nature because

1359
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 1: of this speed. I think Shakier might it better if

1360
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: you're playing against more zone. I thought Shakier had a

1361
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: good play, and not that it was unbelievable, but on

1362
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: that final drive late in the first half, they blitzed

1363
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: off of Shakier's side. Alan obviously read it. He pointed

1364
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 1: it out before the snap, but Shakier had understand it too,

1365
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: and he just stopped in the void. And I think

1366
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 1: that's a positive sign because you know, people always just assume, Hey,

1367
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: it's the quarterback reading the blitz and Steve you and

1368
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,799
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot more involved to defeating blitz

1369
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 1: than just a quarterback. But I think you might see

1370
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 1: McKenzie as a big factor when it's man and maybe

1371
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: Shaqier settling in a little more when they anticipated team

1372

01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 1: at all, But we're gonna take a break. When we

1401
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back here on One

1402
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Hope you guys are having a good Wednesday afternoon.

1403
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: We've got less than a half an hour here left

1404
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: in our show, less than a half an hour until

1405
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 1: we both bolt out here to the parking lot and

1406
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: say happy weekend, Eye, Happy bye week. We've both got

1407
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: some plans to get out of town and soak up

1408
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 1: a couple of days off. So I think both of

1409
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: us are excited about that. Brownie's kickstarted his weekend off

1410
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: definitely earned by so many people in this building. We

1411
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: were just sitting at our desks earlier in Chad Hall,

1412
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:06,719
Speaker 1: our Wide Receivers coach came shooting through our our work

1413
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,680
Speaker 1: area which we have where we work. There are so

1414
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: many people that just walk through, coaches, players, everybody in

1415
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: the building. You walk through there every day. You have

1416
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,719
Speaker 1: your putters in there, so you always have to fire

1417
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 1: a putter two off. You make a lot of them.

1418
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: They have they have a putting place. One of the

1419
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: automatic putter things it does. It's not automatic, but it's

1420
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: a you know, a cup. And so I go through

1421
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 1: there and they had these these embarrassingly amateurish putters. So

1422
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: I went down to my golf room in my house,

1423
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: got a couple ex cutters, a couple of ex putters,

1424
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: and brought them in so you could raise the quality

1425
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 1: of the putting. Yes, So yeah, and I go in

1426
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: there and hit a couple. Every year, you know, it's

1427
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: fun to have people come through and hit some putts.

1428
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: But anyways, Chad Hall came through and he looks at us.

1429
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: He's like, you guys don't have the week off because

1430
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: at this point the week the players are gone. I

1431
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 1: think some coaches are still around. I don't know if

1432
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: the coaches still have to be here, but most of

1433
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 1: the players have left. Some guys are still hanging out

1434
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, rehabbing or just choosing to be in Buffalo.

1435
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 1: So he looks at us and he's like, basically, what

1436
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: are you doing here still? It is Wednesday? Why are

1437
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: you not off yet? Do you get the week off?

1438
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: And we're like, don't worry, Chad, We're off Thursday. Friday.

1439
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:23,879
Speaker 1: I always get it used to be not so much anymore,

1440
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: but it used to be very common, and it still

1441
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: is in some places. For people say, hey, is it

1442
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 1: a really you know what about this is a good

1443
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: time for the Bills to be on a bye week.

1444
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:36,640
Speaker 1: The standard answer these days is it is always a

1445
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: good time. It is always at the right time because

1446
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: and I think for if you can want to do

1447
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: it this way, they had three preseason games, training camp,

1448
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: three preseason games, six regular season games. That's nine going

1449
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: into the risk last half of the season, they have

1450
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: eleven games left with a bye week right now, it's

1451
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 1: almost right at halfway point of all of those games

1452
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: plus training camp point um, So it's a nice spot

1453
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: for it. Other than that, it doesn't matter anyway. They

1454
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 1: could have had it on opening day, had a bye week,

1455
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: and it would have been a good time. It doesn't

1456
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: matter whenever you get a yes, that's right because of

1457
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: the long week. But anytime you get a week off,

1458
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: a weekend off where the guys can get away and

1459
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 1: recharge and just think about something else for you know,

1460
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: three days, it's huge. It feels like you were gone

1461
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: for two weeks. I remember it vividly because I was

1462
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: part of the league before that bye week was a thing.

1463
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: Then they put it in and we didn't nobody knew

1464
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,439
Speaker 1: what to think. You know, We're like, okay, so back then,

1465
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, coaches were always tinkering with how long it

1466
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 1: felt like an eternity. Just a couple three days, it

1467
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, this is awesome. What Then

1468
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, by the end of the third day, you're thinking, okay,

1469
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: let's get back you kind of antsy. Yeah, you're kind

1470
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: of like, wow, the season we got to particularly when

1471
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 1: you see other teams playing and you're not playing, so

1472
01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: you get a little aunty to get back in and

1473
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: start working out and practicing again. But yeah, it's always

1474
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: a good time for the bye week. We've been answering

1475
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,640
Speaker 1: some questions from our obl fan mailbag tweet sheet. You

1476
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: can tweet at us if you have any questions for us,

1477
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: and we answered a question from Jesse about Halloween and

1478
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: it kind of started a conversation about different costumes that

1479
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: we've warned. What our favorite costume was the fact that

1480
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: I trigger treated way too late into my years because

1481
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 1: I would go in to high school and just act

1482
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: like I was eleven year old. Eleven years old with

1483
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: a mask on because I could because I'm tiny. But

1484
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: I talked about a costume that I wore that was

1485
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 1: my favorite and funniest Halloween costume. I was a rodeo clown.

1486
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: I think it was when I was in elementary school.

1487
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: So we have a picture now for our MSG viewers,

1488
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: Mattie Glab as a rodeo clown. My mom came up

1489
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,600
Speaker 1: with some great ideas, helped me put together some great costumes,

1490
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,679
Speaker 1: so shout out to her. I do not remember where

1491
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 1: the eye idea came from, and if you're listening on

1492
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 1: the radio. So I have like a hat on, a

1493
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: cowboy hat, and then I have a clown wig, and

1494
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: then I have my face painted with I think I

1495
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:16,719
Speaker 1: have stitches on my forehead. I have red and yellow

1496
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 1: on my eyebrows, and right above my eye, I have

1497
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 1: a mustache drawn on a pathetically. I have a the

1498
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: cowboy had a strapped on under her chin too with

1499
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: a with a string. I have some rainbow suspenders, a

1500
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 1: checkered button down T shirt that's like pink and blue

1501
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: and has stripes. And then I have a very crazy

1502
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 1: tie on that's black that has some some pictures total

1503
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: rodeo clown get up, very well done to the to

1504
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: a T and l. I always show people this when

1505
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,799
Speaker 1: we're talking about Halloween costumes because I don't care how crazy.

1506
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: I thought. It was hilarious. It was obviously. It's obvious

1507
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 1: too that you were very young when that was taken,

1508
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: but fun stuff. I was just sitting here now. I'm

1509
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 1: an old guy now, obviously, but I can't remember a

1510
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: single costume on. We went to a players players a

1511
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: costume party when I was playing. The players had won

1512
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 1: a costume party, so I went as Frankenstein. My wife

1513
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: went as the bride of Frankenstein. We have two pictures

1514
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: probably somewhere. Yeah, she and we took her too. I

1515
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: actually took her over to the to the hair place

1516
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,160
Speaker 1: and they stood her, you know, they stood her hair up.

1517
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, put the streaks on the sides everything.

1518
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: Oh man, it was spectacular. Of course, she had a

1519
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: five foot nine inch Frankenstein, so it really kind of

1520
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: didn't lend itself to that. But because all you know,

1521
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: I was a short Frankenstein, just put it that way.

1522
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: But she looked great. So that was the only one

1523
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: I remember, and that was as an adult. So yeah,

1524
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: I know our players have their Halloween Party two, which

1525
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 1: is always fun to see on social media what people

1526
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: dressed up as and who won any awards. But we'll

1527
01:20:56,360 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: keep going with our tweet sheet number three from Mandatory Name,

1528
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: what are the roles of Speedy, Marquis Stevenson and Isaiah

1529
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Hodgens Now with the emergence of Khalil Shakier, So Speedy

1530
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:14,560
Speaker 1: is still not playing with the team. He's on I R.

1531
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: And the last time we really got an update about

1532
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: Speedy was around the time I would say maybe a

1533
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:23,880
Speaker 1: week before Trey got activated, or maybe it was the

1534
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: week that Tredavious white Um got activated to return from

1535
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 1: being on the reserve pup list. And I think what

1536
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:35,719
Speaker 1: Sean said was like, Speedy is nowhere close right now.

1537
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: We've seen him in the indoor. He's been working out

1538
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 1: and doing things. Seems like he's in good spirits. But

1539
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: we do not have any timetable on his return because

1540
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: the last update we got was that it wasn't going

1541
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: to be coming in the next few three days. Is

1542
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:57,599
Speaker 1: dictated by his health. And Isaiah Hodgins is now I

1543
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 1: think he's a He's a depth piece right now, particularly

1544
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: with the emergence of Shakir and his and Shakier's ability

1545
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 1: to play more than one spot, so with Isaiah and

1546
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: then three snaps against right chee. It'll be interesting to

1547
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,799
Speaker 1: see what happens when Umarro comes back and gets healthy

1548
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: after probably after this bye week with his high ankle,

1549
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:23,600
Speaker 1: but it'll probably go back to like it was in

1550
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks of the season before the

1551
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: injuries hit the hit the room, all right. Our next

1552
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 1: question is from Darryl. He says, who steps up to

1553
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: be the number three receiver with him with more of

1554
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 1: a full time role after Week six, Isaiah McKenzie or

1555
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:41,600
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir. Yeah, we ask Greg Cosell at just this

1556
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 1: last segment. His thought is this, both of them will

1557
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:49,759
Speaker 1: be active, but I think when they anticipate zone coverage,

1558
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:53,440
Speaker 1: I think he believes Shakir is the better option versus

1559
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: a team that's kind of play zone. If it's man,

1560
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: the speed of mackenzie is the difference maker, and he

1561
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: says that's where you put him on the field. So

1562
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: whether the Bill's coaching staff sees it the same way

1563
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: or not remains to be seen, but I think it's

1564
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: a good call by him, certainly, Khalil Shakir has proven

1565
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: his medal in the first six weeks of the season.

1566
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: They're starting to trust him more and more. And Mackenzie,

1567
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: despite you know what happened in Kansas City, we've acknowledged

1568
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: he didn't have his best game. You can't think that

1569
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be the norm now. So I think

1570
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: having both of them active every week, which they're gonna

1571
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:31,800
Speaker 1: be a good thing because one of them is going

1572
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: to be returning kicks if the other one's playing receiver

1573
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: and vice versa, so they'll be able to mix and

1574
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: match where they play both those guys. It may be

1575
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty proposition and you may see one guy

1576
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,760
Speaker 1: have the bulk of the snaps one game while the

1577
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 1: other one has at the next game. I think that's

1578
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: the way it's going to stay. I do like that

1579
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: they've gotten Khalil involved already. I like that, you know,

1580
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: we're through six weeks and they already kind of know

1581
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: what they're gonna get from a receiver like him when

1582
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:59,760
Speaker 1: it comes to playing snaps in a game. Rather than

1583
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: than moving into week eight, Week nine, Week ten and

1584
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 1: being like, Okay, let's use this rookie here, We're not

1585
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:07,479
Speaker 1: sure you know exactly what he's going to look like

1586
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: on the field in a real NFL game. But I've

1587
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: liked what they've gotten from him so far, and the

1588
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 1: more pieces that you can use to help throw off opponents,

1589
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: I think the better. So glad that they've gotten what

1590
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 1: they have from him. I think he's going to be

1591
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 1: a really good NFL wide receiver. A lot of the

1592
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 1: players have spoken about his smarts and how he's been

1593
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: able to kind of digest this offense from the training

1594
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: camp days, the OTA days, and I think you were

1595
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 1: able to see that when he's been on the field

1596
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: the last couple of games. From Scott, he says, why

1597
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: don't the Bills use the RB screen game screen game more?

1598
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: We've seen it used a couple times more this year

1599
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: than the year the last three years. Good question. I

1600
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:58,639
Speaker 1: think one of the things I don't know. I think

1601
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: one of the reasons might be if they're really good

1602
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: at the short passing game, in the quick game where

1603
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: Josh drops back and just bangs it onto shakier or

1604
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 1: bangs it onto digs on this quick slants on the

1605
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 1: quick release routes, which are like screen passes. Now certainly

1606
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: a screen pass has more of a pension for being

1607
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 1: one of those plays where you catch a team rushing

1608
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: the passer and then you know, getting caught with a

1609
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: running back right behind the pass rushing. There's a big

1610
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 1: gap between. I think one of the reasons that the

1611
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: Bills don't use the screen game a little more is

1612
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: because of the guy playing quarterback teams he's hard to sack,

1613
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: so teams have their antenna up for him running off

1614
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 1: out of there when they rush him, and I think

1615
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: that gives them a kind of it kind of takes

1616
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: the screen game game away because they have they're thinking

1617
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: about Josh doing something outside the pocket anyway right back there.

1618
01:25:56,120 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 1: So I think that muddles the picture for for the

1619
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 1: screen game because of the guy that Josh is. The

1620
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,759
Speaker 1: running ability that Josh has. If if he drops back

1621
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: and he doesn't flush out of the pocket, they you know,

1622
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 1: they know something's up right. So and I think the

1623
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: way they rush Josh because of his athleticism is it's

1624
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 1: a little bit like Lamar Jackson. I don't know that

1625
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens run a lot of screens either. The

1626
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs do it once in a while, but there's I

1627
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: think Josh is as big a reason and his abilities

1628
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: and what they do to a defensive mindset, or as

1629
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 1: big a reason the Bills don't run screens as the

1630
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: fact that maybe they don't have guys that are capable

1631
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 1: of running. I think they do. I just think it's

1632
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: it plays into the defense's mindset a little more with

1633
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:49,040
Speaker 1: our team than it does other teams. Yeah, I would

1634
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: agree with that. I think those short passes, and I

1635
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: know it's something that Sean mcderma was asked about and

1636
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey is, you know, when you don't have a

1637
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: run game going, when you're not using screens in those things, like,

1638
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:03,839
Speaker 1: are those short passes as good as a run? Basically?

1639
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,959
Speaker 1: Are those four and five yards six yard short passes

1640
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: the same as basically getting a couple rushing yards? And

1641
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 1: I think in some ways it is, and in some

1642
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: ways it isn't. I think that's what Sean and Ken

1643
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 1: pointed to, is like, yes, it's good when the defense

1644
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 1: is giving you the ability to do that, but you're

1645
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: not always going to have the ability to lean on that.

1646
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: So they need to be able to go to other

1647
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,759
Speaker 1: things when they have to because of what a defense

1648
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: is presenting. All right, break time for us when we

1649
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 1: come back, we are going to finish out the show here,

1650
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: close things up, maybe do another question or two on

1651
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, but don't go anywhere. I got a

1652
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: couple of minutes left here of one Bills Live. We're

1653
01:27:42,000 --> 01:28:02,719
Speaker 1: presented by Clyde of Health on Buffalo Bills Radio, closing

1654
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 1: things up here on a Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for sending

1655
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 1: in those questions for us to answer. One that we

1656
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: got a couple of. I think definitely one was about

1657
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: Tredavious White's return, and I thought, as we close out here,

1658
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 1: it would be a good point to kind of update everybody.

1659
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 1: So he has that twenty one day window where he

1660
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 1: can be activated to the active roster, returned to the

1661
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: active roster, and that would have to be before the

1662
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 1: Jets game, so he does not a couple of days before,

1663
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: does not have to play for the Packers. Staff doesn't

1664
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,520
Speaker 1: want him to go. Brownie and I had this conversation

1665
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: on the air, and he I thought it would probably

1666
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:46,200
Speaker 1: be before. Knowing how they do make decisions, I think

1667
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: they would put it out as far as they can,

1668
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,519
Speaker 1: so I think it's the Jet game where they'll make

1669
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 1: a decision a couple of days before and even then

1670
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:55,759
Speaker 1: maybe not start him and playing fifty seven or seventies.

1671
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: He just has to return to the active roster. Brownie

1672
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:00,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have to play. He was of the thought that

1673
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 1: they would bring him back for the Green Bay game

1674
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: and just play him a couple of snaps and stuff.

1675
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I want to have a guy

1676
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 1: on the roster, even if it's Trey White, who will

1677
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: only play four or five ten snaps at corner. Given

1678
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 1: you know how thin they've been at that spot for

1679
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 1: so long. You don't want to go in there thin

1680
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: with no one that portray can't go very much. And

1681
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,519
Speaker 1: if the worst comes to worst, he may be forced

1682
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: to play the whole game, And then what are you

1683
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna do? Yeah, I don't know. I think after he

1684
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:30,600
Speaker 1: hasn't played for so long since the Thanksgiving game of

1685
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: last year, maybe you just wait and see until that

1686
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 1: Jets game. Just give him as much time as he

1687
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 1: really needs. Yeah, I agree. All right, that's gonna do

1688
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: it for us. No shows Thursday or Friday. We are off.

1689
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,240
Speaker 1: It's the bye week. Enjoy the rest of your week

1690
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 1: and weekend. See you next week.
