I don't know, 10 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: do we call this Indian summer now that we're into 11 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: the fall when you get a nice day like this, 12 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: because it's supposed to be beautiful today upper seventies, eighty 13 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: tomorrow and eighty on Saturday. Because we haven't really had 14 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: any cruddy weather yet, so you can't like to me 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Indian summers after you've had some kind of wintry kind 16 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: of I didn't. I never know when that when you 17 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: can label the weather that in the fall, you know, 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: is that what your call Indian? That's I mean, I 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it's the previous generation to the older 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: generations call it that, And you know, i'd hear my 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: father in law break it out, like, oh yeah, we 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: got an Indian summer day today. I was like, oh, okay, 23 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, like a summer day that you're not expecting 24 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: to be summer because it's fall. I just didn't never 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: know when to apply that term. And there's a part 26 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: of me that doesn't feel comfortable using it either all 27 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: the time. So the way I understand it is that 28 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: after we have a stretch of bad weather, wintry weather, 29 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: and it's gotta go, I mean it's gotta be like, 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, wet and cold, maybe even a little snowy, 31 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: and then you get like a week of you know, 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: weather like this. Yeah, we haven't had a week like 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: this has been great. This is kind of extension of 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: a good I was hoping for this. I was because 35 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: I didn't I'm not ready right for the warm weather 36 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: to be away, because you know, you still if you 37 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: have more than a few people at your house, it's 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: got to be outside. You can't have people in your home. 39 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: And this just in in my in my wife's bid 40 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: to extend outdoor patio season, right, we have ordered the 41 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: the overhang patio heaters. What do they look like? Are 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: they the stand up one. No, no, no, no, too 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: windy in our backyard. You hang it out. We actually 44 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: had one previously. Oh yeah, the wind took the whole 45 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: dang thing over and wrecked it. So we're not going 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: down that road. We got a couple of those. Those 47 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: were good. Yeah, it's too windy in our backyard. So 48 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: we we're gonna be getting them mounted up on the 49 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: top of our patio, you know, roof. There's good idea. Like, um, 50 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm We've got them beating down on the main seating area. 51 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: So they're supposed to come next week and we'll hook 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: them up and I am getting the electrician out there. 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: And I think most people hit here we go. I'm 54 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: not like I'm unusual, but I'm a huge fan of 55 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: outdoor living space. Well yeah, huge fan, and it's hard 56 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: to extend that here. But but I'm telling you right now, 57 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we were all ready to lose our marbles. 58 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: A third week in May and we're getting snow. Do 59 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: we remember this? You remember this, right? It was snowing 60 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: on May twentieth. Wasn't, yes, it was. It wasn't sticking 61 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: and accumulating. But when when you've gone through a month 62 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: and a half of a pandemic where you're basically a 63 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: shut in. Please get in, get me out here, And 64 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: it's like, I gotta get outside, and it's snowing May 65 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: twenty if you're like, what else? But it was May 66 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: and so so now with the situation not a whole 67 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: lot better. There is a genuine fear in my household 68 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: that we're gonna get cooped up again sooner rather than later. 69 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: So we are fighting it tooth and nail with every 70 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: bit of heating technology we can get our hands on. 71 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: Back into solitary confinement. Yeah, we're gonna save that off 72 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: as long as possible. Let me sitting out there on 73 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: the back patio and parks in November. Have you do 74 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: you have a patio with a with a roof over it? Yes? 75 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: Or yes it's the roof no? Yes? Yes? And veranda 76 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: right that's quick. Yeah, technically that's what we get to. No, 77 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: it's not big, it's coming back twenty but it's perfect size. 78 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, now do you are you the um it's 79 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: and it's a ground level, right, you're on the ground. Yeah? 80 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: Are you out off the back of that of are 81 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: you making your veranda and kind of an indoor that's 82 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: outdoor space or an outdoor space with a roof.

What about the front? 86 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: Do you have like a fire pit and low cushiony 87 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: couches fire pit or was it lawn chairs? No? No, 88 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: not lawn chairs. We got some you know, the faux 89 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: wicker kind of look there and right, got cushions and 90 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: so got it? Got an eight eight seed or dinner table. 91 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: Masking masking like is it a living is it a 92 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: living room that's outside or is it just a covered 93 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: patio with Oh I think it's relatively sophisticated. Um it's 94 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: up gale right, Yeah, I would. I would say, so 95 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: you don't do you You don't have to run out 96 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: there and take everything inside when it starts, you know, 97 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: because it's covered thankfully. Um see that's my point. I see, 98 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm kind of we're just trying trying to lengthen the 99 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: outdoor time because I'm worried it's going to be disappearing 100 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: pooped up inside and this pandemic is still roaring, you know, 101 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: through winter. I'm convinced that people here in Buffalo, unlike 102 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: other parts of the country, you're really got you really 103 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: got to be committed to maximizing the square footage of 104 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: your house because you know, let's face it, there's a 105 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: couple extra months on each end of this winter that 106 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: you're you're not going outside. You can't get outside, so 107 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: you're inside. You're got to maximize that space, right, Yeah, 108 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: and that's and it's doubly important now because you once, 109 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: once you can't sit outside at a restaurant, which is 110 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: gonna happen in about what a month, you can't go 111 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: to restaurant. You're not going anywhere. Yeah, that's true again. 112 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: So my wife is already plan ahead where we are 113 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: not I'll tell you what. We are not getting shut 114 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: in mid October. We are stretching this out at least 115 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: another thirty days. We've got those two you know, those 116 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: two poll you know two of those poll things with 117 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: the twenty gallon propane tank and you light them up 118 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: and they got a little umbrella on the top of 119 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: it in direction right right. We gotta have a lot 120 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: of those at rest. Two of those. I'll tell you what, though, 121 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: you never want to get caught with an empty tank, right, 122 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: So I got I do have, always have one in reserve. 123 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: I got four four, I got like four in reserve 124 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: because you know, over the course of our married life 125 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: we've had the same thing gas grills, yea, and I 126 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: always keep the tank, put the grill to the curb, 127 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: keep the tank and keep it. So like now we've 128 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: got the really does that? We got two heaters that 129 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: do that well, and you do the exchange.

Um, 138 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: I don't have a propane tank, but I got blankets, 139 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: yeah and hats. Oh guess all right, Sorry about that 140 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: tangent conversation there, but it's a real thing that a 141 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: lot of people are dealing with as as people are planning, 142 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: like how do we maximize this outdoor time because the 143 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: fall's coming here and it's gonna be too cold to 144 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: sit outside. Tell you soon. We were in the booth 145 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: last week for the Miami game and in the sunshine 146 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: was beautiful day, but in the shade up in the booth, 147 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: I was like, get a little Nippi.

If you don't, it's fine, 153 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: but you can't. There's no you cannot put it on 154 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: if you don't bring it with you. That's my philosophy 155 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: of life. You can't use it if it's not with you. 156 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: So you got to bring it, Bring all the stuff 157 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: you can bring. Always have the extra layer. Never want 158 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: to be a layer short exactly.

So not only AFC Offensive 169 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: Player of the Week a league award, but fan voted 170 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: award FedEx NFL Air Player of the Week. That's usually 171 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: the most prolific passer and he was, so he was 172 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: kind of a shoe in for that. We'll get an 173 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: update on the practice field, probably in about a half 174 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: hour's time from Mattie. Glab will be keeping tabs on 175 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: practice for us. And we had a long list of 176 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: injured players yesterday, longer than anticipated as Cole Beasley popped 177 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,599 Speaker 1: up on the injury report, so did at Oliver Tradevious 178 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: White was wearing a red non contact jersey as our 179 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: MSG viewers see the list there. The good news was 180 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: Matt Malana was out there practicing with no red non 181 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: contact jersey, but was still limited in practice. But he 182 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: seems to be trending toward playing this Sunday, which would 183 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: certainly be a good thing and a welcome return from him. 184 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox remains in the concussion protocol, was not even 185 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: out there at practice, Zach Moss, Tarn Johnson. They popped 186 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: up on the injury report, So a lot of new 187 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: additions for the injury report this week, and hopefully the 188 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: news is better today and hopefully some of these players 189 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: just needed an extra day of recovery time and are 190 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: back out there practicing today. But we'll wait and see. 191 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: We'll know in about a half hour's time as to 192 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: where some of these players and as we'll check in 193 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: with Maddy Glab on the sidelines at practice one o'clock hour, 194 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: we will be joined or we're scheduled to be joined 195 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: by one Maurice Jones Drew as the NFL Network analyst 196 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: will be helping us break down this rams Bill's game, 197 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: and he's stationed out in LA at the NFL Network 198 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: studios out there. Obviously a former UCLA Bruins, so he 199 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: has California roots to be in with um, so he'll 200 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: be helping us break down the game at that point 201 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: in time. We also will have one we'll have another 202 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: running back on the show, an active one by the 203 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: name of Devin Singletary, whose T shirts we wore proudly 204 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: yesterday Steve very nice Bill's fanbox collection. So we'll talk 205 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: to him about the origins of the design of that. 206 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: Although I heard Devin say he pretty much signed off 207 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: on the design, he didn't have a whole lot to 208 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: do with it other than his nickname, catering to the 209 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: inspiration behind it. And we'll talk to him about where 210 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: the running game is at right now. Was certainly more 211 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: productive last week, and they're definitely hoping that continues because 212 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: I think if there's one thing, Steve about the Rams 213 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: that kind of goes by the board, they're running the 214 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: hell out of the football right now, one hundred and 215 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: seventy two yards a game through the first two weeks, 216 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: and I think that's that would be a number that 217 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: would surprise a lot of people because what's usually the 218 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: headline with this Rams team, Ah, they have a high 219 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: flying passing attack. Jared Goff, Robert Woods, Cooper Cup, you know, 220 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds, Tyler Higbee, Van Jefferson. This team through the 221 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: first two weeks has run the ball fifty eight percent 222 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: of the time, Steve, would you have guessed the Rams 223 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: would be running it almost sixty percent of the time, 224 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: I wouldn't know and also on the times that they 225 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: throw it forty five percent, almost half the times they 226 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: throw it, it's on play action, right, So it's all 227 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: part of what they do. He's had the most in 228 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: the NFL. Forty five percent of the passes that Jared 229 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: Goff has thrown have been off drop back. And when 230 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: you're play action, and that's the most in the NFL. 231 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: And when you're running the ball as well as they 232 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: are one hundred and seventy two yards a game, you 233 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: have no choice but to respect the play action fake 234 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: because you're trying to stop what has been a very 235 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: prolific rushing attack and you get sucked up to protect 236 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: against the run, and then Goff pulls it out and 237 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: he's throwing it down the field. It's worked very well 238 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: for them. To the Bill's credit, play action has worked 239 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: very well for them too. Um yeah, they and the 240 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: rams yards per attempt off play action ten yards per attempt. 241 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: Yeah ouch. Yeah, And I should mention this most play 242 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: action pass attempts so far this season, Jared Goff number 243 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: two in the league with thirty one attempts for two 244 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy yards. Number one Josh Allen thirty two 245 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: attempts three hundred and sixty seven yards. Those stats provided 246 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: by Pro Football. Because it's a double edged sword, we 247 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: always thought you and I've been talking about how to 248 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: take the over because this thing's gonna they're gonna score over. 249 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: But then you gotta think too, Jayden Ramsey and Davis 250 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: White are on the field as well, the whole lot 251 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: less Aaron Donald. You know there's a lot in that lot. 252 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: There is. I just think both offenses have weapons that 253 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: run far deeper than the defensive answers that each respective 254 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: defense can put on the field. That's just my personal opinion. 255 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: Um right, I guess what I'm saying is I like 256 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: the Bill's fourth receiver a whole lot better than the 257 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: Rams fourth corner, and and vice versa. You know, when 258 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: you think about it, well, I mean you can look 259 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: at what happened to us the fourth corners. Cam Lewis, 260 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: what's he played in two games? Levi Wallace you know, 261 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: got picked on last week. Davis White had at least 262 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: one or two passes defense. The only past they got 263 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: on Levi, I mean on Turdavious last week was the 264 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: one down the sidelines. I think it was to Parker. 265 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: Were right, just on the end zone on the far side, 266 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: and just as Tredavious turned around to look, the ball 267 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: was there. I mean, he threw it on time, he 268 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: got it, he caught us when he fell down, the guy, 269 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: the ball came out and they still gave him the catch. Um, 270 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: that's the only reception I can remember from last week. 271 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: And then of course he almost picked one off on 272 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: the slough off play that he had and he knocked 273 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: one away that looked like yeah, it was like not 274 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: even he didn't even raise it, didn't even break a 275 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: sweat doing that. So I mean, the guy just didn't 276 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: stay that busy last week because they threw a Levi 277 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: a lot. And I told you this at the beginning 278 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: of the week. I think the one aspect of this 279 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: season that's gonna wear hard on Tredavious is his lack 280 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: of targets. I just don't think they're gonna throw it, 281 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna get completely bored stiff over there. 282 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: And that's when when you do that, that's when they 283 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: come back at you're like, oh, you know, because they 284 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: haven't thrown at you for two and a half games, 285 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: and then they finally NICKI for a big one. Yeah, 286 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: you know, because you're just tired of waiting. It's a 287 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: tough way to kind of play, just being on alert 288 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: every single play and then it's not happening. It's almost 289 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: like you get lulled to sleep. Forever happens a player 290 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: two and then bam they hit you. We should also 291 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: mention we will have the latest edition of Tasker's Teammate 292 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: that will be coming your way at two thirty, so 293 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: we look forward to that, and we will also provide 294 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: you with commentary from head coach Sean mcderbott, Josh Allen 295 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: who spoke to the media yesterday, Stefan Diggs, and Jordan Poyer. 296 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: So we'll try to get to all of that for 297 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: you so you can be up to speed on just 298 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: what the coach and the players are thinking heading into 299 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: this game this weekend, which is, in some people's estimation, 300 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: the scariest game on the schedule here. Before you get 301 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, I mean, you think about the first 302 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: five weeks for the Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Rams, Raiders, Titans, 303 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs before you get to the Chiefs. You know, I'm 304 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: not gonna short change the Titans. I think that's gonna 305 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: be especially since it's on the road. I'm I'm not 306 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: sold on the Raiders. Yeah, I'm not sold on the 307 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: Raiders yet either. The Rams are tough. They're tough. That's 308 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: a tough game. It's Titans are tough, Chiefs are tough. 309 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: And then you go back in the back end to 310 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: that is the starting November first with the Patriots, then 311 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the Cardinals. Um, you're gonna want to 312 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: buy after that, that's a rough one. And then uh, 313 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: and then after the chart then it's the buy. Then 314 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: it's Monday the game Niners and the Steelers, Broncos and Patriots. 315 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a tough cash. That's a rough schedule. 316 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: Fifth to his strength. The schedule in the league, really 317 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: really rough schedule. And uh, the Bills are gonna plow 318 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: through it. They're off to a good start. But it's yeah, 319 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: this this Rams game is going to be against the team. 320 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: And one of the things about these games is, you 321 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: know the NFC West in Seattle, La San Francisco, in Arizona, 322 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: it's like you never see those teams. We never play 323 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: those teams, right, the Bills never. You don't see him 324 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: every year or every other year we've played the Steelers 325 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: like what three out of the last four years or 326 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: something like that, and there was a stretch where they 327 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: were playing the Chiefs for almost every year. It's so 328 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: some of the AFC teams you seem to run into 329 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: a lot, uh not. So the NFC teams, um, the 330 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: NFC North and the NFC West, seems like you never 331 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: see those teams, you know. We seem like you see 332 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: the Carolinas every four years. Yeah, but you see the 333 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. You practice against them, right, and you you 334 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: hire their players, right, So we see him a whole 335 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: lot more than we expect. Even so, it's really weird 336 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: to get these these NFC teams, particularly the ones and 337 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: where you play the entire division and it's just you 338 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: never you just never see him. Plus you get a 339 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: team like Arizona where it'd be ninety percent different guys 340 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: than it was three years and even the veterans on 341 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: this team, if there were that many around who played 342 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: him last time or now that they're good and they 343 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: were the fourth place team last time, you didn't play 344 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: them or something and you were the whatever. So it 345 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: just gives you an extra degree of difficulty when he 346 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: played these teams that at least you've got two games 347 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: to look at. Now, can you imagine playing one of 348 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: these teams like out of the gate beat It'd be tough. Yeah, 349 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: it'd be tough for sure, you know when you think 350 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: about it. The Patriots kind of had to do that 351 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: last week against Seattle on the road, you know, and 352 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: they go down thirty five thirty. I mean, they're right 353 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: in the game at the end, but you know, they 354 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: can't pull that one out. Head coach Sean McDermott addressed 355 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: the media yesterday. We wanted to bring you some of 356 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: his more notable comments, and he was asked about Jared 357 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: Goff and the Rams offense as a whole and the 358 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: threat that they will pose to this Bill's defense this week. 359 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: Here's what he said. Well, he does a great job, 360 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: and so does their entire offense. They've been together, they've 361 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: got continuity on that side of the ball. He and 362 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 1: Sean mcva seem like they've got a great rapport, great 363 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: dynamic there. They talk a lot during the game and 364 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know in their you know, days leading 365 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: up to the game, so there's a lot of communication 366 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: that goes on from Sean to the quarterback. During the game. Yeah, 367 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: they do a great job. I mean, starts up front 368 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,239 Speaker 1: for them, and they've got a great offensive line, and 369 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: there'll be a big challenge for for our defensive line. 370 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: And um, you know, they do a great job of 371 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: protecting their quarterback and they've got a good system. You know, 372 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: I can't say enough about about what they do offensively. Yeah, 373 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: their pass protection has been pretty darn good here through 374 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. They're tied for third in 375 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: the league and fewest sacks allowed. The given up two 376 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: sacks through two games. I mean he's yeah, he's barely 377 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: been touched. And when you think about the fact that 378 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: it's been off you know, as much as they run 379 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: play action, you know, somebody doesn't bite on that up 380 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: a front on the defensive line, you'd like to think 381 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: they'd be able to get some pressure of some kind. 382 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: But especially that Philadelphia Eagles defensive line. I mean, that 383 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: is a talented defensive line in Philadelphia. Didn't get they 384 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: didn't get near him. Watching that game from last week, Um, 385 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: you know you're talking Fletcher Cox, Um, Brandon Graham, who's 386 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: the kid from Tennessee that plays the other defensive end. 387 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: I can't think of their former first round pick cannot anyway. 388 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: They got to slew a first round picks on that 389 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: defensive line in Philly and they could not get near him. 390 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: They're playing, yeah, and that's that's on their offensive side 391 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: of the ball. Their defensive side of the ball is 392 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: no slouch either. I mean they they've allowed one touchdown 393 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: pass in two Yeah, saw that, and they've got two interceptions. 394 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: They got more interceptions than they've allowed touchdowns through the 395 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: year through the air. So they're playing well up front. 396 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: And yeah, it's this is a challenge, it's a big game. 397 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: It's it's you know, as always, it's nice to have 398 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: him at home, even without fans, but yeah, this is 399 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: a test and one and one player who will probably 400 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: be challenged a whole lot is the one that was 401 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: challenged last week that Steve already mentioned Levi Wallace. So 402 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: coach McDermott addressed getting Levi Wallace back on track this week. 403 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: The biggest thing Levi did, I thought, outside of you 404 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: know where, he was challenged a little bit and they 405 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: made some look they made some good throws in good catches. 406 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: So that's gonna happen from time to time in the 407 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: NFL's So these guys are probs right best and the best, 408 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 1: and and the thing I appreciate about appreciate about Levi 409 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: as he he stayed resilience through the game and he 410 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: found the way and and uh much like our team 411 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: found the way. And you know, he made some big 412 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: plays for us down the stretch, not only in the 413 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: past game, but but in the run game. Things that 414 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: don't go don't get charted or noticed as much. So 415 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: appreciate his resiliency. And just as an overall team, I 416 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: love the way that our team is fighting through adversity. 417 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: We found the way overall. And and you know, I 418 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: just think that this will be a big challenge for 419 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: us as we go against their offense. It's gonna be 420 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. Man. I don't think Levi is 421 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: the only guy that's gonna get picked on either. And 422 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: what we have to remember too is, you know, you 423 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: got Taryn Johnson on the injury report right now with 424 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: a groin injury, and you think about the demand that 425 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: that position puts on those muscles and the two way 426 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: goes that receivers can run at, you know, dbs every time. 427 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not going to be an easy injury 428 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: to recover from, just by nature of the position that 429 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson plays. So we're gonna have to see how 430 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: it goes, and we'll know more in about twenty minutes 431 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 1: time as to whether he's able to get out there 432 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: and practice, because if not, now you're even more shorthanded. 433 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: And what do you do there? Do you put cam Lewis, 434 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: who is kind of a nickel back in that spot 435 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: because he can play the nickel even though he's only 436 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: played in two NFL games and barely any snaps on defense. 437 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if you do that. So now who 438 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: does it fall to? Are you putting Sarran Neil in 439 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: the slot? Are you putting Levi Wallace in there and 440 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: putting Sarran Neil out? Or is Dean Marlow gonna play 441 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: a role in the slot as he has in previous weeks. 442 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: There's there are gonna be some major decisions to make 443 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: if tarn Johnson's availability is in question for Sunday's game, 444 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: no doubt, and how they shuffle that around, We'll have 445 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: a little bit to do about what they see on 446 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: film and what they think the skill set is called 447 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: for to be in there. But um, I think Taron 448 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: Johnson's the key. I mean, he's he's a starter, He's 449 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: a starting nickel corn and he's on there. He's on 450 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: the field all the time. They played all the time. 451 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: I mean, and you're dealing with arguably one of the 452 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: top three slot receivers in the league in Cooper cut 453 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: He's not to mention the fact that when Robert Woods 454 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: lines up inside, he's pretty damn good too. Really, Slot 455 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: and Bill Bill's fans know that they've got some talented guys. Now, 456 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: what one thing they don't have is they don't have 457 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: m Well. They don't have a Steph Diggs. They don't 458 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: have a guy that can take the top offer John Brown. 459 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: Their receivers don't have burners. They're fast. I mean they're 460 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: good receivers, but they are They do not have a 461 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: guy that you feel like, man, we gotta stay get 462 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: a ten yard cushion because he's gonna run past us. 463 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: They have technicians, Yeah, there are a lot of technicians. 464 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: They're very good route runners. They're smart football players all 465 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: the way across. Cup and Robert Woods are sensational. Van 466 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: Jefferson's a brand new guy, played extremely well in the 467 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of the season. I liked what 468 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: I saw him, particularly in the Dallas game. He's not 469 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: called on that much, he doesn't get that many targets, 470 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: but he's effective. Yeah, they play they do through all 471 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: the play a lot of eleven personnel, as we have said, 472 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: which is three wides with the one tight end Tyler Higbee, 473 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: and they rotate Jefferson in for Reynolds, right, and so 474 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: those two guys rotate through that third receiver spot while 475 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: cup and Woods stay on the field with Higbee. So 476 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of how they roll it out. All right, 477 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 1: We have to take a break, but when we return 478 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: more commentary, we'll hear from Josh Allen and perhaps Stefon Diggs. 479 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: In the next segment. We'll also check in with Maddy 480 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: glab from the sidelines as at practice, as we're already 481 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: hearing the bass thumpin out there on the grass practice field, 482 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: so we'll get an update on all the injuries. Next 483 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: segment here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. 484 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown's Steve Cast One 485 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: Bills Live. We'll get out to the practice field, oh 486 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: about ten twelve minutes time. We did want to bring 487 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: you commentary from Josh Allen on this matchup this weekend. 488 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: And obviously the guy that is garnering a lot of 489 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: attention and deservedly so, is one Aaron Donald, who, as 490 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: Steve and I have discussed this week, is being lined 491 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: up all across the front. In the first three series 492 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: against the Eagles last week, Aaron Donald lined up at 493 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: all spots on the entire front. They play a three four, 494 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: but a lot of times they will only have two 495 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: down linemen and two outside linebackers up on the line 496 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, so it's kind of a different look. It's 497 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: not always a true three four type some traditional three four. 498 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just a four man front with two stand 499 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: up linebackers and two down linemen. But in any event, 500 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: he has lined up at any one of those four 501 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: positions more often than not, almost all the time. Actually 502 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: with his hand on the ground. He's not a stand 503 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: up outside linebacker. He's on the ground, hand on the 504 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: ground type of defensive lineman. But he's lined up all 505 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: over the place. So just about every offensive lineman is 506 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: going to have to be ready for him this week, 507 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen talked about facing a defensive lineman the 508 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: caliber of Aaron Donald. He's the best in the world 509 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: at what he does, and it hard be the greatest 510 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: to ever do it in that position. He's so explosive, 511 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: so powerful, so quick. He can bull Russia, he can swim, 512 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: you know, he can basically get the line of Scrimmagem So, 513 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: I mean he's a tough ask to handle. Um, you know, 514 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: and it's not just the stats that speak out for him. 515 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: Obviously the stats are great, but it's the it's the 516 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: other stuff. It's forcing forcing double teams and allowing his 517 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: other players to you know, get one on one matchups, 518 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: and um, it's the attention that he brings to the game, 519 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: which is which is a tricky part. You know, you 520 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: have to have a plan for him. Um, you have 521 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: to you know, get two guys going to him at 522 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: all times. And um, even then it still might not 523 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: be enough. So it's gonna be a tough task on Sunday. Um, 524 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, we're doing the best that we can do 525 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: in game plan. We're a good look on scout team 526 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 1: right now, and um, you know, ultimately we gotta go 527 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: and we've got to execute what coach tells us to do. Now. 528 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: The follow up question to that was who do you 529 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: guys have on scout team serving as Aaron Donald this week? 530 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: And Josh was very coy with his answer. He said, Oh, 531 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: we got a bunch of guys rolling through doing that, 532 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: because you really don't. Nobody really has a good Aaron 533 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: Donald clone on the scout team because if they did, 534 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: they'd be starting for them, right. Um. So it was 535 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: kind of funny true that he gave that answer, But 536 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: I would imagine it's one of the reserve, you know, 537 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: defensive lineman or maybe one of the defensive linemen on 538 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: the Bill's practice squads. So they used to do that 539 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: when they put like if they had a tight end, 540 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: who could you know, catch the ball or whatever, they'd 541 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: put them. They'd line up a wide out yeah down 542 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: on this and then let him release it. They'd have 543 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: to cover them wide out. You gotta get creative with 544 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: those shout team matchups sometimes because you want to give 545 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: the best look possible. But this one is this is 546 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: hard to duplicate because he's a unicorn. The other player 547 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: deemed to be elite on the defensive side of the 548 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: ball for the Rams is one Jalen Ramsey. And it 549 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: was interesting because the media tried to resuscitate the comments 550 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: that Jalen Ramsey made about Josh Allen a couple of 551 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: years ago when he was still a member of the Jaguars, 552 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: where he basically in a magazine article called Josh Allen 553 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 1: trash along with about seven or eight other quarterbacks and 554 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: really said Tom Brady was good. That was the only 555 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: nice thing he said when he was asked about the 556 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks around the league, and Josh, you know, took the 557 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: high road there. Never really answered back in terms of words, 558 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: and so that was brought up again yesterday and again 559 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: he chose to leave that over there and not really 560 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: address it, called it ancient history. But he did comment 561 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: on going up against a cornerback, the caliber of Jalen 562 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: Ramsey and the approach that he has to take toughest part. 563 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I mean, I think twenty does a 564 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: good job of reading the quarterback in his drop. You know, 565 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: his eyes are really in the backfield and he's able 566 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: to tell if a quarterbacks speeding up his drop and 567 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: trying to get out quick ready to jump a route. 568 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: And he's a very aggressive corner. He can play you man, 569 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: he can play in his own you know, he's very 570 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: good at route recognition, and it's gonna be tough to 571 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: win some matchups versus him. At the same time, it's 572 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: it's not time to shy away from from anybody or anything. 573 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: We understand, you know. Whatever the defense gives us, we're 574 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna take that, you know. But he's definitely 575 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: he's definitely a problem to be, you know, be dealt with, 576 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: and um, you know, we had to keep our eyeing 577 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: them for sure. So beyond him, though, I have to 578 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: say I'm not terribly impressed with the other rams corners. 579 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: So you've got Hill, who's the other corner, and then 580 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: Darius Williams, who actually popped up on the injury report yesterday. 581 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: For them, when they go into nickel, Darius Williams lines 582 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: up outside and Troy Hill moves inside to play in 583 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: the slot, and that's how they kind of line up 584 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: in their nickel package. So I don't know, I Ramsey's 585 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: really good. The other guys are kind of just there 586 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: for me, and so for me, that says advantage Bills 587 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: in terms of the depth of their receiving corps in 588 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: comparison to the corners that the Rams are putting on 589 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: the field. I just think they're vastly superior. And so 590 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: even if Ramsey can lock down one guy, whether it's 591 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: Diggs or John Brown, whoever they decide, it's going to 592 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: be whether Ramsey follows somebody, they may lock down one 593 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: guy with Ramsey, but I don't see them doing that 594 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: across the board. I don't think they're the Rams corners 595 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: are of that caliber. It's you're gonna have to troll actively. Yeah, 596 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna try and get your best guys lined up 597 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: on somebody other than Jayden Ramsey and then hope you 598 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: can get the ball out on time before Aaron donald 599 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: sits in your lap. It's basically that much and as 600 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: much help as you can get. Try and run the ball, 601 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: try and run the ball better. It's been difficult so 602 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: far for the Bills. They've they've gashed. They gashed the 603 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: Dolphins a couple of times, but it was tough sledding 604 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: and it's been tough sledding for the first couple of weeks, 605 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: so we'll have to see if they can get that 606 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: going down. The Bill still use play action a large 607 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: part of their their arsenal but a more productive running 608 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: game would go miles towards making these games easier to win, 609 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: right and would make play action even more effective. Stefan 610 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: Diggs was another guy that spoke to the media yesterday, 611 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: so we wanted to get some of his comments out 612 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: there for you, and he spoke about this very topic 613 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: that we're discussing right now, the difficulty at least through 614 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: the first two weeks that opposing defenses have had with 615 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: defending the Bills receiving corps effectively across the board. So 616 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: here Stefan Diggs talking about the difficulty of defending these 617 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: Bills offensive weapons. Like I said, you know, John Brown's 618 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: probably one of them underappreciated under a receivers in the league. Um, 619 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: and it kind of like gives you, I guess that 620 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: composition that you had with coach Dave a like kind 621 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: of like shows you, like it's not fake, it's for real. 622 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: You know, the guys that's in the room and mar 623 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: room at least we're non service guys, you know, especially 624 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: not me. Uh. You know, it's going to come a 625 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: time in games where John Brown gonna have to eat 626 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, Kobe is gonna have to eat Dave Dave's 627 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: gonna to eat, you know, and it's just gonna have 628 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: to be that way. You know, guys don't have to 629 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: play play at a high level, you know, and they 630 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: go out each and every day and they displayed that 631 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: in practice, so it's no surprising to happen in games. 632 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: But it just sort of, you know, we're all in 633 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: this thing, that gay that we're all trying to push 634 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: everybody forward, and you know, having success isn't just part 635 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: of it, isn't just one guy's thing. You know, we 636 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: all have success as one. So the unselfishness is readily 637 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: apparent in the wide receiver room right now. And when 638 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: you're winning, I suppose it's a lot easier to be 639 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: that way. But it seems genuine on the part of 640 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: John Brown and Cole Beasley and Stefan Diggs, where they're 641 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: trying to facilitate for one another, and if somebody's getting 642 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: a lot of the double teams, they're not grousing about it. 643 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: They're saying, all right, drawing the attention, get the ball 644 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: to this guy or that guy. So it seems to 645 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: be working that way for now, so hopefully that continues. Yeah, 646 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: and it's it's interesting too, that both Diggs and John 647 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: Brown have enough and Cole Beasley, they all these guys 648 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: have got enough experience to know to communicate clearly and 649 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: articulately to Brian Dable say, listen, here's what they're doing 650 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: when we get in this. They're doing this. If they 651 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: do this, we should do that. Now here's how we 652 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: should beat him. Not the day ball wouldn't get it. Well, 653 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: he seeks out that feedback, right, so he knows the 654 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: players know they can articulate exactly what the defense is 655 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: trying to do against them. So they decipher that game 656 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: plan that they're facing pretty quickly and pretty accurately with 657 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: all that experience, and Dabel just says, okay, if they're 658 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 1: going to do that, then hey, here we go, Presto Chango, 659 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: let's go Josh Andy, and they've it's been working that way. 660 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: So the unselfish nature of it and the experience and 661 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: the ability these guys to articulate what they're seeing in 662 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: the secondary really goes a long way towards keeping them 663 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: abreast of the adjustments that the Rams or the Dolphins 664 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: or the Jets are going to make. So that's interesting 665 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: and pretty informative and I'm sure Brian Dable's benefiting a 666 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: lot from it. All Right, We're going to step aside 667 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we return, we will 668 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: have Maddie Clab on the sidelines at the practice field 669 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: where she'll give us an update on the long injury 670 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: list for the Bills. Hopefully there are more players back participating. 671 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: All of that coming your way next Here on One 672 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: Bill Live, presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's 673 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: Radio Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here on One Bills Live, 674 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: first hour of the show, taking me up until three 675 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,479 Speaker 1: pm this afternoon, and time now for us to head 676 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: out to the practice field where the Bills are practicing 677 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: on the grass field here on Thursday. And we go 678 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: to one Maddie Glab who is our ontrepid sideline reporter here, 679 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: and we need an injury update, Maddie, and I guess 680 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: we should start with the linebackers. We got a bit 681 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: of good news yesterday seeing Matt Milano back out there, 682 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: although he was still limited. Where do things stand with 683 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: he and his sidekick won Tremaine Edmunds. Yeah, so Matt 684 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: Milano and Tremaine Edmunds are out here again today I'll 685 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: note that practice today, Yes, today, they were in pads today, 686 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: they're distant shorts and their jerseys, so not a padded 687 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: practice today. But we're seeing quite a few players that 688 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: are back on the field. Matt Milano, Tremaine Edmunds. Nothing 689 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: has changed with them. So Matt Milano is still fully dressed. 690 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 1: He was listed as limited yesterday after practice even though 691 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: he was fully dressed. He's fully dressed again today. Tremaine 692 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,720 Speaker 1: Edmonds is dressed. He's wearing a non contact red jersey. 693 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: So that's the update on those two guys. And then 694 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: del Sean Phillips again did not dress. He participated in 695 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: stretch in street clothes and then went over to the 696 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: bikes for a little while, so he's not participating in 697 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: practice today. So that's the updates on our three linebackers 698 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: who have been injured. Hopefully, seeing both of these guys 699 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: out here, even if it's in red non contact jersey, 700 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: means something good for Sunday. One of the other guys 701 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,240 Speaker 1: that unexpectedly turned up on the injury report was Tredavious White. 702 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: What's his status? Yeah, so Tredavious White, he is out 703 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: of his red non contact jersey. He was limited yesterday 704 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: with that shoulder was what it was listed as. But 705 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: today he is back in a regular jersey and shorts, 706 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: so he looks like he is fully participating in today's 707 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: practice on the offensive side of the ball. Maddie, we 708 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 1: had some skill position players nicked up. We knew about 709 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, but Zack Moss and Cole Beasley were new 710 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: editions yesterday. Are either of those two guys doing anything 711 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: after being dnps yesterday? Yeah, So I'll start with Zach Moss. 712 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: Zach was in street clothes, participated in stretch, and then 713 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: he went over to the bike. So Zach Moss is 714 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: not practicing today. He is still on the bike. He's 715 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: been on the bike for about twenty minutes. And then 716 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, he is in a jersey and shorts and 717 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: he's been going through practice regularly today. So Cole was 718 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: dealing with a hip and a thumb. He did not 719 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: practice yesterday, but it looks like he was practicing today. 720 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 1: And then you said Dawson Knox was on the side 721 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: early on but has since gone inside with trainers. Yep, 722 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: So we didn't see Dawson Knox yesterday. Brownie, I know 723 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: you asked me if I could locate him on the 724 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: field because based on what he was doing, it could 725 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: determine what phase he was in of concussion protocol. But 726 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: we saw him out here today. He was on the 727 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: bike next to Josh Norman as the team was going 728 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: through stretch. But then once stretch wrapped up and they 729 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: got into practice, Dawson went back inside. So it was 730 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: good to see Dawson Knox siding that's got to be 731 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,240 Speaker 1: something that's good rather than staying inside throughout the entirety 732 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: of practice. And then at Oliver Maddie, we know he 733 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: miss practice yesterday. He's dealing with a knee issue. But 734 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 1: what is he doing today if anything? Yeah, So the 735 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: other defensive players was at Oliver, Tarn Johnson, and Jerry Hughes. 736 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: So at Oliver was out yesterday with that knee, he 737 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: looks like he is full go today. He's in a 738 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 1: jersey and shorts, so he's been participating. Jerry Hughes had 739 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: a rest day yesterday. He is fully dressed and participating. 740 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: And Tarn Johnson also was out yesterday with a groin. 741 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: It looks like he's back in and good to go 742 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: as well. So some positive news coming out of that 743 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,479 Speaker 1: long laundry list of injuries yesterday, I was a little 744 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: bit worried, but it's good to see a few of 745 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: these guys back on the field. Even though it's not 746 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: padded practice, it's still nice to see them going through 747 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: drills and things like that in shorts and T shirts. 748 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: One other question I have about the guys that are 749 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: on I or got you had mentioned you saw Josh Norman. 750 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: Have you seen John Feliciano roaming around. I have not 751 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: seen John Feliciano at all today. He's someone who's popped 752 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: up at practices just kind of hanging around the offensive 753 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: lineman and the quarterbacks. So he's someone who's shown up 754 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: randomly and also not shown up. I have not laid 755 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: eyes on John today. But Josh Norman. Coach was asked 756 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 1: about Josh Norman earlier this week and just where he's 757 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 1: at in the timetable of returning since I our rules 758 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: are different this year and their three weeks, so that's 759 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: coming up for Josh Norman. But Sean McDermott did say 760 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: it was a little too early to tell or to 761 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: give any information about how Josh Norman is doing in 762 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: his timetable. He did say these next few the few 763 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: days so Wednesday, Thursday, Friday into the weekend would be 764 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 1: important for Josh Norman. All right, Maddie, thanks for bringing 765 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: us up to speed. We appreciate you working your way 766 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: through that long list. Hopefully it's shorter in successive weeks 767 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: for the good of the team. But thank you for 768 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: bringing us up to speed on everybody. We appreciate it. Yeah, 769 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: of course, hoping for good health on Sunday. All right, 770 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: that's Maddie Glab on the sidelines at practice bringing us 771 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: up to speed. So some good news there. Even though 772 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: del Shan Phillips is not practicing and neither is Zach Moss, 773 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: which could press TJ Yelden into action this week if 774 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: that continues. We do have a lot of other players 775 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: back practicing today. Milano and Edmonds both practicing. Edmonds still 776 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: in the red non contact Jersey, dredevious White out of 777 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: the red non contact Jersey. Cole Beasley looks like he's 778 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: practicing in some capacity at Oliver back practicing and Tarn 779 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: Johnson back practicing. We were just talking earlier this hour 780 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: about you know how much that could have a Buffalo's 781 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,479 Speaker 1: defense and Tarn Johnson injuries got ripple effects because they're 782 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: gonna start switching guys around then, But everybody else is 783 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: kind of this guy for that guy, kind of substitution 784 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 1: for the injury. But tarn Johnson might cause them to 785 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: have to mess with their rotation. And it's looking like 786 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: a bigger and bigger long shot that Dawson Knox will 787 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: be recovered from. You know, his concussion suffered last week. 788 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: As Maddie told us, all he did today was come 789 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: out and ride on the stationary bike. So where that 790 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: puts him in the concussion return to play protocol is 791 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: Phase two, which is aerobic exercise, so under direct oversight 792 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: of the team's medical staff, the player can begin cardiovascular 793 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: exercise and then they test to make sure he remains 794 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: at baseline status, and then if he does, then he 795 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: can move onto Phase three, which is more of the 796 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: football specific exercises. So if he comes out to practice 797 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: tomorrow and he's running routes even if he's non contact, 798 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: that that's considered football type exercises. Now he's into Phase three. 799 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: So all these phases only move forward when the guy 800 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: remains symptom free for after he goes through him, so 801 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 1: when he you know, getting bending over, getting in his 802 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: stance and coming out of his stance and sprinting. That 803 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: kind of thing is different than sitting on a stationary bike. Right. 804 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: They escalate it every day, and if you can stay 805 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: symptom free, you tend to move through it pretty quickly. 806 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: But if everyday where we are, every guy's different, though. Man, 807 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: every guy zooms through the first protocols, in the fifth protocol, 808 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: he can't get passed for a while. Just the severity 809 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,319 Speaker 1: of the blow to the head is different for just 810 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: about everybody. And it's funny because I was watching Dion 811 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: Dawkins miked up from last week's game. I was watching 812 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: the footage on Buffalo Bills dot Com, and you know, 813 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: he's such a character. It was very entertaining. But there, 814 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: I think I saw the play where Dawson Knox sustained 815 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: the concussion and it was friendly fire. Dion is finishing 816 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: off a defensive lineman away from the play which has 817 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 1: gone off to the right, and you know, he's at 818 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,760 Speaker 1: left tackle, engaged in a block and Dawson Knox falls 819 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: down on the play in front of Dawkins and the 820 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:49,280 Speaker 1: defensive lineman he's locked up with, and the defensive lineman 821 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: and Dawkins kind of stumble over Dawson who's trying to 822 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: get up, and Dawkins knee hits him square in the 823 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,080 Speaker 1: side of the helmet. And Dawson gets up and the 824 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 1: first thing he does is shakes his head a little bit, 825 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: and I was like, I'll be darned, I wonder if 826 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: that's when it happened. And too many times it's friendly fire. Yeah, 827 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 1: it's you know, you see that everything happens and strange positions, 828 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 1: strange places on the field, like defender's meat on a tackle, 829 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: takes on a block differently, moves into your path, you 830 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: trip and fall and you get kneed in the head 831 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: and it could have been to it. Yeah, it could 832 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: have been anything that makes a lot of sense. And 833 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,720 Speaker 1: it's always not always, but usually a lot of concussions happened, 834 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: not when they get hit in the front of the 835 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 1: head the forehead, but when you get on the side 836 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: or in the back of the head. I had a 837 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,879 Speaker 1: number of them. First one I ever got was well, 838 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: first one I ever got in football was when I 839 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: just glanced off a guy's leg with the back of 840 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 1: my helmet and it didn't It looked innocuous on film, 841 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: but you know how it was. I was out for 842 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: the game and yeah, so I don't know that it 843 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 1: happened on that play, but just seeing how he reacted 844 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: after taking a knee to the head from a three 845 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pound lineman, right, it made me wonder, oh, man, 846 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 1: is that when it happened? So, yeah, the knee is 847 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: a is always one that gives you. It's got a 848 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: lot of force behind it because usually when you're running, 849 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: it's got a lot of velocity and mechanically speaking, it's 850 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: a it's nothing but a hammer, you know, and right, 851 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 1: so yeah, you're not kidding, it's uh yeah, getting kneed 852 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: always hurts. Uh. We did want to finish up with 853 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,399 Speaker 1: the Stefan Diggs commentary from yesterday's interview, and he did 854 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: speak specifically about his matchup, as it's presumed that Jalen 855 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: Ramsey is going to be lining up opposite him for 856 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,320 Speaker 1: a good deal of Sunday's game, So Diggs talked about 857 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 1: going up against an elite corner like Ramsey. Since my 858 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: rookie year, I've been seeing the best corners in the 859 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: league right since I started, since I came in the game, 860 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't played against everybody. You know, pay 861 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: that Richard Sherman and he's in Seattle. I've been against 862 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: Pactri Petersonovan against I would say Darius Stay. You know, 863 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: I've been against a lot of good guys. You know, 864 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,800 Speaker 1: he's damned good. You know, he's damned good corner, especially 865 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: now he got his high speaking bad listens to him. Um, 866 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: but I've been seeing the best corners in the league 867 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 1: since I stepped in them. As far as like extra 868 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: juice to him, I wouldn't say that, but uh, you 869 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:23,359 Speaker 1: always want to be at the top of your game, 870 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,479 Speaker 1: just like any game. You know, I don't. I don't 871 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: go in against Miami preparing with the mindset of this 872 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: Miami and this guy doesn't make as much money, so 873 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't have any juice. So I wouldn't say that 874 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: it's like the Juice character because I just want to 875 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,359 Speaker 1: come in and execute as at a high level, no 876 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: matter who's in front of him. And and that's not 877 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 1: surprising to hear that from Diggs because Diggs is you know, 878 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: he's a taskmaster. He's he's about the work, and I 879 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 1: think he his philosophy is I put in the work 880 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: It matters less who's lining up opposite me. If I 881 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: put in the work, I should be successful because I'm 882 00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: talented enough to do that. That's not to say he 883 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: doesn't study his opponent, but I think he believes preparation 884 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,760 Speaker 1: is the best way to succeed. And that's why he's 885 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 1: as you've heard from all his teammates. I mean, this 886 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: guy goes hard and practice really hard, right, And it's 887 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 1: you come down to it. You know what you bring 888 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: to the table physically, You know where your strengths are 889 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: and your weaknesses are as a wide receiver, and your 890 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: technique and route running becomes a thing that can separate you, 891 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,439 Speaker 1: which is what it does for Steph Diggs. And he's 892 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: a fast guy's a great athlete, got great hands, but 893 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: his route running is special. And when he watches film 894 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey, he'll evaluate his technique as well. What's 895 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 1: he do, what's he liked to do? Why does he 896 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,359 Speaker 1: like to do this? And Plus Jalen Ramsey brings some 897 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: pretty impressive physical skills as well, and a physical component 898 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 1: to his game. So you mix all that together and 899 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 1: then you try and formulate a game plan about what 900 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 1: can I what kind of routes. Can I really get 901 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 1: this guy on? And when I run all of these routes, 902 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 1: what is the best technique about what against what I 903 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: have seen him do in that ground and on the film? 904 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,839 Speaker 1: And you spend a lot of time in thought when 905 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 1: you're watching his film and you run it back and 906 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: forth watching and say, okay, if he did if I 907 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 1: did this, it would work in this instance, you know, 908 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 1: and they can get him to take I can get 909 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 1: him to this way. He seems to be really worried 910 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 1: about getting beat here. So that's where I'm going to 911 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 1: threaten him before I break off the other route. So 912 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 1: you'll use certain different fakes because he know he's susceptible 913 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: to a certain kind of route in a certain coverage, 914 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 1: and you will threaten him with that route that he's 915 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 1: the most afraid of before running the route you're actually running, 916 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 1: and that gives him that will put him and more 917 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: of a mental duress and sell out to stop that, 918 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: so that if he commits to stop that you had 919 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: more open and then that's what a great receiver does. 920 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: But that's the kind of the thought process that goes 921 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 1: into you know, how you watch film and these guys 922 00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,359 Speaker 1: because when you're going against a great guy. You gotta 923 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 1: I know, it doesn't take more juices to do it 924 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,719 Speaker 1: because you're always kind of used to. I mean, you 925 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: you've got to be incredibly patient and sell every fake 926 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 1: and and it almost seems like it takes you ten 927 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,919 Speaker 1: minutes to run one route because you're you're over you're 928 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 1: over face to sell it, and you're selling this, and 929 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: then you're you're subtly but not so subtly selling that 930 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: one right at the top, and you're stemming, and you know, 931 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 1: all of that stuff goes into it is a real 932 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 1: subtle art form because it's free flowing for the most part, 933 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: because you know, it's Jalen Ramsey isn't like chained to 934 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: what you've done on film, right, So you're it's a 935 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 1: it's an art form and on both sides of it. 936 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: And these guys spend a lot of time learning how 937 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: to paint in the film room before they go out 938 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 1: and actually stroke some brushstrokes on the canvas. All right, 939 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: Steve and I have to take a break as our 940 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: number one of the program is in the books, but 941 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 1: when we return, we'll hear from more from the Bills 942 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 1: players on this weekend's matchup.

According 980 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: to Jets safety Bradley McDougald, the team's lack of success 981 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: this season can be attributed to the fact that they 982 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,280 Speaker 1: haven't looked good in practice. All signs of his public 983 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,880 Speaker 1: statement points to him calling out head coach Adam Gaze. McDougald, 984 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 1: who knows a thing or two about winning after spending 985 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,320 Speaker 1: the past three seasons in Seattle, claims the Jets haven't 986 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: had a quote dominating week of practice, saying practice is 987 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: too slow since he's been there. McDougald was traded to 988 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: New York in July in the deal that sent Jamal 989 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 1: Adams to the Seahawks. And that is your sports update 990 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,360 Speaker 1: from one Bill's Drive. Holy cow, the Sharks are already 991 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 1: circling in Gotham for one. Adam Gaze, Well, practice is 992 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: too slow, and we hear that, we hear about the 993 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: pace of practice here in Buffalo, Steve, they practice fast. 994 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,280 Speaker 1: It's intense because they feel that the way your practice 995 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 1: carries over to games, and it seems to be a 996 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 1: prove in fact, time and again those who practice how 997 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,360 Speaker 1: they play tend to play better. It's there's only so 998 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 1: much you can do with the players energy wise, and 999 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,239 Speaker 1: this coaching staff has taken the approach that we're not 1000 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: gonna practice as long, but we're gonna practice hard and 1001 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 1: get some reps in that are that are intense, and 1002 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna ask our players to come out and really 1003 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,320 Speaker 1: get it get it going for a while. Other teams 1004 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 1: don't do that. They'll practice with less pace and they'll 1005 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,759 Speaker 1: stay there longer thinking that they can teach longer. They'll 1006 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,560 Speaker 1: have more reps on the field or what are, put 1007 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 1: more reps into the practice, but they'll be less intensity 1008 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:54,799 Speaker 1: in those reps. I've coaches have won both ways. I'm 1009 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: sure some staffs want to do their teaching on the 1010 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 1: field instead of in the meeting rooms or a combination 1011 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: of both. Obviously is where most teams are. So it's 1012 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,359 Speaker 1: a philosophy. And you've only got so much wear and 1013 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 1: tear you can put on your club during the week 1014 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 1: to get ready for games. How you use it is 1015 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 1: what your programs. You know is that you that your 1016 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,120 Speaker 1: program and Adam Gase probably wants to keep his players 1017 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 1: on the field a lot longer than other teams. I 1018 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: would anticipate if he's if you're gonna go out there 1019 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 1: and jog through practice and stay out there for an 1020 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 1: hour and fifteen minutes, you ain't gonna win. You know 1021 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,880 Speaker 1: you're not gonna win. But I've said this before, I 1022 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 1: just don't think Adam Gas is a leader of men. 1023 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 1: I think he's a really good play caller and probably 1024 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,680 Speaker 1: a really good coordinator. But McDougald is not alone. Avery 1025 00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,919 Speaker 1: Williamson was also quoted in that article saying, yeah, it's 1026 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 1: it's just not up to snuff in practice. So the 1027 00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 1: results on the field that we get on game day 1028 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: shouldn't be terribly surprising, as they now sit in an 1029 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 1: Owen two hole. So where it goes from here, I 1030 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 1: don't know. I didn't even look to see who the 1031 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: Jets are playing this week. So and when Gas was 1032 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: in Miami the first year he gets there, they go 1033 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, and they deteriorated under his under his 1034 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 1: head coaching step the three years he was there, and 1035 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 1: at the Colts this week and the Jets seems to 1036 00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 1: be kind of the same thing. I mean, they're getting 1037 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,640 Speaker 1: they're not getting better here, and this is his second 1038 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,800 Speaker 1: year in New York and they seem to be deteriorating 1039 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 1: once again. Now, I don't know, you can say what 1040 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: you want about the roster, and Gas doesn't have final 1041 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 1: say over the fifty three. The general manager does. And 1042 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 1: you know if if you're telling me, there's other coaches 1043 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 1: out there who would win more games with that same 1044 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 1: roster than Gays, and yeah, you got you gotta think 1045 00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 1: about that, putting it on his plate and when you hurt, 1046 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 1: but when you're owing two and there's no vibe and 1047 00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,839 Speaker 1: there's no positivity coming out of that locker room, and 1048 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 1: the media is what it is in New York where 1049 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,439 Speaker 1: they're always poking guys, trying to get them to say 1050 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,240 Speaker 1: something derogatory about somebody and their teammate or their general 1051 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 1: manager or their head coach or their position coach, and 1052 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 1: that stuff gets out. You know, it's see the season's 1053 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 1: going down the tubes. Yeah, so it is going the 1054 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 1: wrong way fast for the Jets. And I know it's 1055 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 1: early and things can get turned around. And they did 1056 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: turned around in the second half of last season, going 1057 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 1: six and two as their schedules softened up a bit. 1058 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: But they don't have an easy game this week in Indianapolis. 1059 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,840 Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, I just I don't know 1060 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 1: if Adam Gas is getting Halloween as head coach of 1061 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,839 Speaker 1: the Jets. I don't know if he's gonna make it well. 1062 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 1: The way they're playing under him and the lack of 1063 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 1: energy and all the you know, just the mess that 1064 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 1: it seems to be over there. Bill's fans should hope, yes, 1065 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 1: he continues to coach for the for that team, because 1066 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,360 Speaker 1: they're not improving, you know, in a week the week basis, 1067 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 1: they're not improving the players that they've got that you know, 1068 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 1: you'd think we're gonna develop, like Sam Darnold don't seem 1069 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 1: to be improving. Bills fans should say, yeah, keep that 1070 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,960 Speaker 1: guy on. He's doing a great job. You know. Oh no, 1071 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna be cheering against him. Um, so yeah, 1072 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:35,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. And I stability is huge, but you 1073 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,959 Speaker 1: gotta you get stable when you hire the right people. 1074 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 1: And until you hire the right people, you don't you 1075 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 1: don't hang in there with them. And um, I've said 1076 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 1: it before, and I'll remind people of this. I spoke 1077 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: to Dan Dan Rooney Senior, who was the Ambassador to Ireland, 1078 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 1: for a minute before you know, he took a hiatus 1079 00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 1: much like, uh, what do you Whatdy Johnson did? He 1080 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 1: said back in the day when they hire Mike Tomlin. 1081 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin wins a couple of Super Bowls And I 1082 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 1: asked him, I go, how you've had three head coaches? 1083 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 1: I how do you pick a head coat? What's your criteria? 1084 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,080 Speaker 1: You know, how do you know what you look for? 1085 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 1: Because everybody else should look for the exact same guy 1086 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 1: you're looking for, So what do you look for? And 1087 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: he goes and he's hunched over, he's like eighty and 1088 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 1: he shrugs his shoulders and he goes, Steve, you hire 1089 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:35,280 Speaker 1: the smartest guy you can find, and then you support 1090 00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 1: him until he figures it out. And that was it. 1091 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, it's that simple, huh? And he's yeah, 1092 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 1: And you got so in the there's a lot in there, 1093 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 1: no question. Plus there is a family guy. You gotta 1094 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,000 Speaker 1: be willing to like go through some lean years if 1095 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 1: you need to. And and there's he's also benefiting from 1096 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 1: the fact that it is a very stable organizational structure 1097 00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:59,720 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Now that wasn't the case when they first 1098 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 1: hired Chuck Nolan. Chuck Noll had a couple of rough earlier, absolutely, 1099 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 1: you know, sixty nine, seventy seventy one, before they really 1100 00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 1: started to kind of gain some Traction had some good 1101 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,280 Speaker 1: draft classes and then had the Steel Curtain defense in 1102 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 1: the Midden late seventies and won four Super Bowls. But 1103 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 1: now it is, you know, their organizational structure is an institution. 1104 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: It's it's rooted instability, very little turnover. There are a 1105 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: lot of people that know what they're doing there and 1106 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 1: have for a long time, so that helps. But yes, 1107 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:32,600 Speaker 1: I knew what you were going to say, because I 1108 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 1: remember seeing him quoted on that saying you hire the 1109 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 1: smartest person you can find. And so you know, good 1110 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,520 Speaker 1: on him, you know for doing that. It's a simple philosophy, 1111 00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:49,920 Speaker 1: but it it calls for owner action and support. You've 1112 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,920 Speaker 1: got to be on board with it. And and I 1113 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,200 Speaker 1: think inside that too. You know this when you hire 1114 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 1: a new guy like like from Bill Coward to Mike 1115 00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: Tomlin and Bill Cower. You know, I went to a 1116 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 1: couple of super bowers one one and tom and one 1117 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 1: the other one, and Bill Cower lost one as well. Yes, 1118 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,400 Speaker 1: and he had a team that went to the Super 1119 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 1: Bowl with Neil O'Donnell as their quarterback. I mean, that's 1120 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 1: so there's you know that when you hire a new guy, 1121 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 1: there's going to be some turnover. And it's in large 1122 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,600 Speaker 1: measure that even then, the Steelers don't like wash through 1123 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 1: their roster of scouts and coaches and front office people 1124 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 1: when they change head coaches usually, but you gotta be 1125 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 1: willing to do that. The head coach says I needed 1126 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 1: done this way and this way and this way and 1127 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,000 Speaker 1: this way. Front office's got to say, sorry, folks, this 1128 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 1: is how we're doing it now, and that's it. A 1129 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: lot of places don't have the resolve to do that, 1130 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 1: all right. So at this point in the show, as promised, 1131 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 1: we wanted to get our one o'clock guest on.

I gotta I gotta tell you're 1143 01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 1: one of the few for a generation of people. You 1144 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 1: are the quintessential Jacksonville Jaguar and you were the guy 1145 01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,400 Speaker 1: that kind of carried you were the face of that franchise. 1146 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 1: Forget all the you know anything else. You really were 1147 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 1: maybe one of the all time legendary players for that organization. 1148 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 1: What do you give us your thoughts about what they're 1149 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 1: doing in Jacksonville, the direction of where they're headed, and 1150 01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,080 Speaker 1: what you're looking for tonight against the Dolphins. Yeah, you know. Um, 1151 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 1: it's so it's been a whirldwind you right. You draft 1152 01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,280 Speaker 1: all these great players, Um, guys are producer on the field, 1153 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,680 Speaker 1: You go to the SU Championship game, and three years 1154 01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 1: later you trade them all away and you start over again. 1155 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 1: And that's never how you want to do it. And 1156 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 1: this Austin was kind of you know, as it being 1157 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,320 Speaker 1: it like like, at the end of the day, I'm 1158 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 1: always gonna be a jackson because they gave me an 1159 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to to to play the game I love at 1160 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 1: the highest level. Um, But as an analyst's kind of 1161 01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 1: like I fight that that, Uh, how do I tell 1162 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,760 Speaker 1: the truth without telling the truth type of thing or 1163 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 1: sounding meme? But it was very difficult, um, you know, 1164 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,800 Speaker 1: and when the coaches say we're gonna be competitive, we're 1165 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 1: gonna do this, and I truly believe this. You need 1166 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 1: top tier talent to be to be competitive in this league. 1167 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 1: And so I didn't under really understand because I'm not 1168 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,520 Speaker 1: in jackson but I don't go to the practices, so 1169 01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know what the coaches were seeing. But what 1170 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,439 Speaker 1: they put on the field and the way the guys 1171 01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 1: are playing has been amazing. You know, you have undrafted 1172 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 1: rookies playing well, you have late rounders playing well, your 1173 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing lights out. Defense is doing their job and 1174 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 1: so they they they've been in every game, you know, 1175 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 1: and you know they're going to have their mistakes because 1176 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: they're young, but they continue to play well. And so 1177 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,560 Speaker 1: I think tonight's gonna be one of those nights where 1178 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Jacksonville they start fast and they finished strong and they 1179 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,560 Speaker 1: play lights out. The Dolphins have kind of been, you know, 1180 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 1: up and down and you know, oh and two type 1181 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 1: of thing. But they're they're pretty banged up, and so 1182 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm hoping Gardner Minshew and company offensive they can put 1183 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 1: up some points. You know, when you can score thirty points, 1184 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 1: you're doing something, So hopefully they can do that as well. Yeah, Dolphins, 1185 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 1: the you know, the Bills saw them last week. They're 1186 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 1: a scrappy bunch. Uh. Coach Flores does have them playing hard. 1187 01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't think they're an easy out by any means, 1188 01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: and the Bills experienced that last week. So you know, 1189 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 1: everybody's billing it as the mustache versus the beard tonight. 1190 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 1: But between Minshew and Fitzpatrick. But there's some there's some 1191 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: high end talent on both sides of the ball here, 1192 01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 1: particularly at the receiver position. I know DJ Chark is 1193 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,880 Speaker 1: lighting it up down there. Uh for the Jags in 1194 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 1: the early going, has a nice connection with Minshew, and 1195 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 1: then you know DeVante Parker and Preston Williams with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Uh, 1196 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 1: and and the tight end is emerging there for Miami 1197 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 1: as well. Mike Kisiki coming off a hundred yard game 1198 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: against the Bills last week with a late touchdown as well, 1199 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 1: So there's there's a lot of skill position talent to 1200 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 1: watch tonight on this broadcast. Oh, no question. And I'm 1201 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,200 Speaker 1: a little offended because I can't grow either. It must 1202 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 1: ask for fear, so you know, to you know, to 1203 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,040 Speaker 1: hear that game, meaning cost for like in the side 1204 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 1: of me. But it'sn't either here nor there. Um. I 1205 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 1: think there's there's a ton of young talent throughout this league, 1206 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 1: but especially on both these teams. Um, you talk about 1207 01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 1: DJ Chark and his ability. At first, he was like 1208 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,959 Speaker 1: this deep threat guy, but now he's changed his game 1209 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,840 Speaker 1: and easy his his his game is evolved to being 1210 01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,600 Speaker 1: an all around route runner and being that clutch number 1211 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 1: one receiver you you want. I think Tyler Iford for 1212 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 1: the Jaguars has done a phenomenal job as well. He's 1213 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,600 Speaker 1: being that red zone target somebody saw when he was 1214 01:04:55,640 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Um Keiling Cole is another undrafted receiver who's 1215 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 1: showed up and showed out Conley. I mean, so they 1216 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:07,040 Speaker 1: have guys James H. Robinson, they I mean, they got 1217 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,320 Speaker 1: guys that are making plays with the Jackson's awesome. Then 1218 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 1: when you look at Miami, I just want I can't 1219 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:12,800 Speaker 1: wait to see who the running back of the week 1220 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,920 Speaker 1: is gonna has been gasking a couple of times. They 1221 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,600 Speaker 1: talked about it's gonna be Breede, is it's gonna be 1222 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard. I mean, they have to find a consistent 1223 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: running game to help uh fitz Magic and company. Because 1224 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:24,800 Speaker 1: that's the one thing that Jacks have done. They've they've 1225 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,640 Speaker 1: had a consistent running game and a fishing running game 1226 01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 1: that helps out with the play action pass. And so 1227 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 1: I think one of the issues that Dolphins are struggling 1228 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 1: with is they haven't really been ephishing running the football 1229 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:40,000 Speaker 1: and so um eventually they're gonna they're gonna hand over 1230 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:41,919 Speaker 1: the rains the tour. If it's this year next year. 1231 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 1: You have to have that for a young quarterback, and 1232 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: you see the Jaguars doing that for Gardner Missue. The 1233 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 1: Dolphins need to try to find a way to get 1234 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,439 Speaker 1: that going as well to help Fitzpatrick, uh and these 1235 01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,560 Speaker 1: receivers as well. I mean, uh, DeVante Parker has been 1236 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 1: one of the more he's had all this promise that 1237 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,800 Speaker 1: we were looking for last year finally broke out and happened, 1238 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:02,920 Speaker 1: and so you want to see that consistency in that 1239 01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 1: carry over from last year as well, we're talking with 1240 01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,640 Speaker 1: Maurice Jo's Drew NFL Network candalyst. I want to ask 1241 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:09,959 Speaker 1: you that you're out in LA you've got a chance 1242 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 1: to kind of grub up against the Rams. They're coming 1243 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 1: to Buffalo this weekend. They've kind of after having maybe 1244 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 1: a I don't know, you could call it a down 1245 01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 1: year last year after going to the Super Bowl, they 1246 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 1: seemed to be back in the siddle, least offensively, and 1247 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,200 Speaker 1: of course Aaron Donald hasn't gone anywhere. The Rams seem 1248 01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 1: to be back in Super Bowl contention form. What are 1249 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 1: your thoughts on them? Well, well, Steve, I have to 1250 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,200 Speaker 1: tell you this because I remember you calling our games 1251 01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 1: back in the day. Actually got into the game calling 1252 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: and I called the Rams games on radio. So that 1253 01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 1: it's been, it's been. It's been a whirldwin. I can 1254 01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 1: tell you that much from last year this year. I 1255 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:47,960 Speaker 1: felt like last year they just had a lot going on. 1256 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you pay a running back a lot of 1257 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,120 Speaker 1: money by Tiger who deserved that money. You try to 1258 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 1: force feed him a little bit and it just didn't 1259 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: work out. He got banged up, and just some things 1260 01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 1: kind of just wasn't what the Rams want, and so 1261 01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: they parted way and what they found is, you know, 1262 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,440 Speaker 1: not having that guy that's going to load the box 1263 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,120 Speaker 1: and teams are gonna try to stop him has helped 1264 01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,880 Speaker 1: their running game like tremendously. I mean I'm talking about 1265 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 1: they run. They've run the ball forty times a week 1266 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,360 Speaker 1: one thirty nine and times a week two. They've had 1267 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,920 Speaker 1: one hundred ninety yards rushing, one hundred and fifty yards rushing. 1268 01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 1: It's because teams are trying to stop the pass. So 1269 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:24,600 Speaker 1: it's helping them out a lot. They've gotten back to 1270 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,880 Speaker 1: what they want to be a physical team. They run 1271 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,520 Speaker 1: the ball and with different players, receivers, running backs, quarterbacks, 1272 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, tight end, they're running with anybody. But it 1273 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 1: allows that offensive line to go forward and that's the 1274 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 1: most important thing. And so they've gotten their rhythm back 1275 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:44,560 Speaker 1: as well. And I think that's another thing that we 1276 01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,600 Speaker 1: don't necessarily talk about for some of these quarterbacks. Jared 1277 01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,480 Speaker 1: Golf is a rhythm thrower. If he gets in rhythm, 1278 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,440 Speaker 1: he can put up points quickly. As you saw in 1279 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,880 Speaker 1: Week two against the Philadelphia He I mean he got 1280 01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 1: in rhythm and all of a sudden, it was twenty 1281 01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,840 Speaker 1: one zero or whatever it might have been at that point, 1282 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 1: and so it's just kind of like wow, like, oh, 1283 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 1: these guys can score quickly, and so they've done a 1284 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,360 Speaker 1: great job with that. Defensively, they have their their their 1285 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 1: brand name guys and Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers, 1286 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 1: and then there's the others around and the biggest thing 1287 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,760 Speaker 1: for them is the others. Darius Williams, Troy Hill, Leonard 1288 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:20,559 Speaker 1: Floyd Um, Samson, Abelucom, Michael Kais or Kenny Young. Those 1289 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,519 Speaker 1: guys have stepped up at May plays. And then their 1290 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 1: rookies that they have playing have done a great job 1291 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 1: as well too, So they have a really good mix 1292 01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: uh Defensively that they put guys in position, and they've 1293 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 1: drafted well and you know, these guys are starting to 1294 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,479 Speaker 1: produce for him. A lot of people, Maurice, are of 1295 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 1: the opinion that this game is shaping up to be 1296 01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:44,759 Speaker 1: a high scoring affair and when you look across the board, 1297 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,360 Speaker 1: and this might be the case in the league as 1298 01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,080 Speaker 1: a whole too. You can let me know what you think. 1299 01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 1: But with what the Bills can put out there on 1300 01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,280 Speaker 1: the field in terms of their receiving corps and what 1301 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:56,360 Speaker 1: the Rams can put out there on the field in 1302 01:08:56,439 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: terms of their receiving corps. NFL defenses are hard to 1303 01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 1: go three and four deep with quality cornerbacks that can 1304 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,360 Speaker 1: handle that much talent getting thrown at them, and so 1305 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: what seems to inevitably happen is these offenses take over 1306 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 1: and these opposing defenses really don't have a concrete answer, 1307 01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,640 Speaker 1: especially if they don't have this premium pass rush to 1308 01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 1: help them out on the back end. Do you kind 1309 01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:24,760 Speaker 1: of see it the same way, because I mean, the 1310 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 1: Rams go four deep a receiver, and so do the Bills, 1311 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:31,800 Speaker 1: and most teams don't have a great fourth cornerback. Oh no, 1312 01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:33,760 Speaker 1: not at all. And I think the biggest thing the 1313 01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,360 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills did this off season was signing step On 1314 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,559 Speaker 1: Dicks because they put guys into their natural position. And 1315 01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 1: I'm not saying cold because he's not a number two, 1316 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:45,880 Speaker 1: but he's a phenomenal slot number three receiver, phenomenal, And 1317 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,760 Speaker 1: so you match him up on third corners where he 1318 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 1: can go out there and dominate those matchups, and then 1319 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 1: John Brown on the other side, he can go up 1320 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 1: against the second corner and dominate and not have to 1321 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,519 Speaker 1: go against the first one, and then step On Diggs 1322 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 1: as we've seen, you know, and it's not necessarily what 1323 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,120 Speaker 1: he's done for the Buffalo Bills, but what the Minnesota 1324 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,600 Speaker 1: Vikings you're looking like right now, it shows you that 1325 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: he is that number one wide receiver. And so that 1326 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:12,280 Speaker 1: addition of Stefan really has opened the games. I think 1327 01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,920 Speaker 1: it's open the game up for Josh Allen anslow the 1328 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,720 Speaker 1: game down where he feels comfortable that he could throw 1329 01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:20,840 Speaker 1: it to his guys all over the field and you 1330 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,360 Speaker 1: can see what that's why he threw for four hundred 1331 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:26,519 Speaker 1: yards last week. When you talk about the Rams, the 1332 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 1: Rams will come out three wide receivers, two tight end sets. 1333 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean they try to attack you in multiple personnels. 1334 01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 1: But each and every one of those guys can go 1335 01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,479 Speaker 1: out there and produce and make plays where they can 1336 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,680 Speaker 1: come on four wide receiver as well with Josh Reynolds 1337 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 1: who's a very good receiver as well. And so it's 1338 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 1: putting a lot of pressure on these defenses to either 1339 01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,800 Speaker 1: keep your safeties and have a safety that's versus up 1340 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 1: to play in the slot, or go out and have 1341 01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 1: to carry four really good corners, possibly five really good 1342 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 1: corners on a roster, which then takes away from either 1343 01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 1: your offense or takes away from your defensive line, takes 1344 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 1: away from your line ackers. And so the game has 1345 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:03,840 Speaker 1: kind of evolved a little bit from when I played, 1346 01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 1: which is only a couple of years ago, to being 1347 01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 1: a match up league and you try to match up 1348 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,120 Speaker 1: you know, your best player on that third or fourth corner, 1349 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 1: and it's it's been very successful in the last couple 1350 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,759 Speaker 1: of years. With you when you talk about the Rams offense, 1351 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 1: both these clubs, the Bills and the Rams, are coming 1352 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:24,280 Speaker 1: off a game where the Bills hung thirty points on 1353 01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins and the Rams jumped out twenty one 1354 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,599 Speaker 1: three on the Philadelphia Eagles on the road and really 1355 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 1: put that game away early. Although it seemed closer on 1356 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,960 Speaker 1: the scoreboard, you never really felt like the Rams were 1357 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,240 Speaker 1: out of control of that football game. Do you think 1358 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,599 Speaker 1: both these offenses, particularly yours the Rams, do you think 1359 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,320 Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna be able to sustain having a 1360 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 1: control of this of the games that they play because 1361 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,639 Speaker 1: they so much misdirection enough? Do you think both these 1362 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 1: teams can sustain this offensive success throughout the season. It's 1363 01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 1: all you're gonna have. You're gonna stumble, and I and 1364 01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 1: I've told people this a ton like, I can't really 1365 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,080 Speaker 1: tell who what a team is or who they will 1366 01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,679 Speaker 1: be until week three or four the NFL season because 1367 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:10,200 Speaker 1: there isn't there hasn't been a preseason. So the first 1368 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you know, some teams are going to 1369 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 1: be a little bit more advanced than others. But as 1370 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 1: the season goes on, we're gonna catch up. I think 1371 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,320 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a great test for both Um. 1372 01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 1: If you know the Buffalo Bills jump out to a 1373 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: lead and take off and and and you know, run 1374 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,280 Speaker 1: away with this thing, Okay, then I can say, Okay, 1375 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,240 Speaker 1: this team has built like this and they can do that. 1376 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,640 Speaker 1: In the same for the Rams. The Rams continue to 1377 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:33,680 Speaker 1: run the ball and get into these leads, and you 1378 01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,679 Speaker 1: know they can run the ball forty times. Um, that's 1379 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,840 Speaker 1: what they're gonna you know that. I think maybe you 1380 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,840 Speaker 1: know they can sustain that because the Rams have five guys, 1381 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,000 Speaker 1: or because the Bills have so many receivers, so many weapons, 1382 01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 1: they can sustain it. But you have to wait till 1383 01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 1: like around this time of the season, just because of 1384 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,200 Speaker 1: all the stuff that happened throughout the all season. How 1385 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,760 Speaker 1: the training camp was, UM, This is when you're gonna 1386 01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 1: see what teams are really who they really are week 1387 01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,840 Speaker 1: three and four, and you're gonna see the good teams 1388 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,400 Speaker 1: separate from the bad teams and the great teams separate 1389 01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 1: from the good teams. And so, h this is gonna 1390 01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:09,479 Speaker 1: be a very important thing. I truly believe that both 1391 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 1: teams can sustain this type of success. Now. I know 1392 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is playing at like a rate that's been 1393 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 1: you know what, he hasn't done in the last couple 1394 01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:21,360 Speaker 1: of years. But I think that's because the Buffalo Bills 1395 01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:23,280 Speaker 1: have added more weapons around me. You go and draft 1396 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,680 Speaker 1: Zach Mosster tight end Dawson Knox has been you know, 1397 01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,960 Speaker 1: growing as well. You add Stefan Dick, so you put 1398 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,719 Speaker 1: more weapons around him to be, you know, a better quarterback, 1399 01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:35,559 Speaker 1: and you're gonna get better quarterback play. And I think 1400 01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:39,000 Speaker 1: for the Rams, they've drafted well. You draft Cam Akers 1401 01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 1: who comes in and it was running well. Then you 1402 01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,599 Speaker 1: draft Van Jefferson, who who's done a really good job 1403 01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,960 Speaker 1: job for you, and then you're tight end have picked 1404 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,200 Speaker 1: up their play since last year. So everyone's growing and 1405 01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 1: that's the most important thing about it. And as long 1406 01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 1: as they continue to add weapons around these quarterbacks. I 1407 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,080 Speaker 1: think you'll see them going and for this season for 1408 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 1: the Buffalo bill I think is very important for the 1409 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills to continue to play the way they're playing 1410 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 1: because a lot of people thought the Patriots is going 1411 01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 1: to fall apart, right, it seemed like the Patriots have 1412 01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 1: kind of found their way with Cam Newton, and you know, 1413 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,640 Speaker 1: they want to go about it a certain way, and 1414 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,759 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a tough challenge. You always want to 1415 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,479 Speaker 1: be in that race, within that win race with the 1416 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,679 Speaker 1: New England Patriots.

Okay, so this was everybody's 1457 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:43,240 Speaker 1: got feelings about Russell Wilson. This stat was presented on 1458 01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:47,160 Speaker 1: Twitter by Babe Laufenberg. Of all people, he said, of 1459 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 1: all the crazy stats you run across, this may be 1460 01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:53,160 Speaker 1: one of the craziest since Russell Wilson became Seattle's starting quarterback. 1461 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,719 Speaker 1: The Seahawks with a four point lead at the half 1462 01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 1: or more are fifty seven and oh so then he says, 1463 01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,000 Speaker 1: so I do not recommend falling behind twenty nine ten 1464 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 1: and a half this week. I think the Texans are 1465 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:14,920 Speaker 1: playing Uh the Seahawks this week, so fifty seven and oh, 1466 01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,920 Speaker 1: the guy doesn't give up, you know, even if they 1467 01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,840 Speaker 1: can't give up the lead, even if they lose the lead. 1468 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,760 Speaker 1: He's he's special, man, He's special. You think about it, 1469 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,960 Speaker 1: because you can rationalize any way you want to. He's 1470 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,040 Speaker 1: in the NFC, he's on the West Coast. We don't 1471 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:33,839 Speaker 1: get to see him play that often. Um, he never, 1472 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:41,280 Speaker 1: he never, like he's never spectacular, Like, why did you see? 1473 01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:46,439 Speaker 1: It's just like every single play he's just flappable. He 1474 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:50,719 Speaker 1: just maximizes every piece, unflappable. He scoots out of the pocket, 1475 01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,439 Speaker 1: always looking down the field. He always takes hit, He'll 1476 01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:55,679 Speaker 1: run the ball if he needs to. It's just he'sn't 1477 01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,080 Speaker 1: He is like Ryan Fitzpatrick in that he's an elite 1478 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:03,679 Speaker 1: just as maker. Um he's a much better athlete. Yeah, 1479 01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:07,160 Speaker 1: and I think he's got a much better arm. But he, 1480 01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:12,719 Speaker 1: like like Fitzpatrick, is that decision maker that every decision 1481 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,720 Speaker 1: seems to be that was exactly the right thing to 1482 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:18,880 Speaker 1: do on that play, right, Yeah, the right decision. The 1483 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,400 Speaker 1: that's right because he's got the better arm, and he's 1484 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:24,880 Speaker 1: and he's probably you know, he's probably got a better 1485 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,320 Speaker 1: team around him for the most parts, with Pete Carroll there, 1486 01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,680 Speaker 1: and they've got a philosophy and you know, and for 1487 01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,599 Speaker 1: the first four or five years of his career, until 1488 01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,840 Speaker 1: he got his deal, he was on a defense team, 1489 01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 1: a team that was winning with defense, with the legion 1490 01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: of booming. Those guys actually won a Super Bowl like that. 1491 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 1: But so he's so he's never gotten like Aaron Rodgers 1492 01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,920 Speaker 1: attention or Ben Roethlisberger until now because right now he's 1493 01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 1: in the league for MVPs. I'm telling you what, man, 1494 01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:53,680 Speaker 1: he's mean. Josh has been great here in Buffalo, but 1495 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:57,559 Speaker 1: Wilson has been just as good, maybe even a little 1496 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:02,559 Speaker 1: bit better. It's just an amazing quarterback who and I 1497 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 1: think one of the reasons you don't say his name 1498 01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:09,160 Speaker 1: and this, you know, with all those other he can 1499 01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:11,439 Speaker 1: we're starting to now because he's been around so long, right, 1500 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 1: but is that it's almost as though he may be 1501 01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 1: the greatest facilitator of his teammates of all time. His 1502 01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:26,160 Speaker 1: five touchdown passes against the Patriots defense, like, come up, 1503 01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,519 Speaker 1: he's starting this guy that got all these guys are 1504 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:30,479 Speaker 1: he just says, how you win at this on this play, 1505 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna win. Okay, you win here, and then I'm 1506 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,320 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna make this throw here. It's just an 1507 01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:41,280 Speaker 1: amazing competitor, an amazing competitor, and uh, you know he 1508 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:45,680 Speaker 1: has never gotten the the attention or the credit he deserves, 1509 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:49,400 Speaker 1: and he may never gotten a single vote for MVP. Yeah, 1510 01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,840 Speaker 1: and his credit to his in his defense and in 1511 01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:56,560 Speaker 1: the voters defense, when you're voting for MVP the league, 1512 01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:58,960 Speaker 1: it's one vote for one guy. You don't get like 1513 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:00,599 Speaker 1: a one and a two and a three. I vote 1514 01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,760 Speaker 1: for this guy for runner up right now. You don't 1515 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:05,120 Speaker 1: do you don't do that. It's one vote for this guy. 1516 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,720 Speaker 1: And that's that's a pretty short list. All right, we 1517 01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:09,160 Speaker 1: want to go to the phones at eight oh three 1518 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 1: oh five fifty one fifty two five fifty. We've been 1519 01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:14,000 Speaker 1: asking you on the tweet sheet what is the key 1520 01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:17,479 Speaker 1: to a Bill's victory this week? And uh, Chris in 1521 01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,439 Speaker 1: Maryland is online too, So Chris, thanks for joining the show. 1522 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,960 Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Yes, how y'all doing good? 1523 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm good? Okay, So I'm not going to sit here 1524 01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,360 Speaker 1: and play coy or like I'm not knowledgeable about the 1525 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,240 Speaker 1: um players they have on defense for the brands. We 1526 01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:38,400 Speaker 1: know that Donald is a manska um Jalen Ramsey is 1527 01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:44,000 Speaker 1: a UM, top notch defensive back. My my keys, I 1528 01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,280 Speaker 1: think when it comes to the defense and playing their defense, 1529 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,120 Speaker 1: and we have enough talent, we do. We have enough 1530 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,479 Speaker 1: talent on the offense side of the ball. And those 1531 01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 1: are two players. Might they might have some good other 1532 01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:56,719 Speaker 1: players on the defense, but the defense is beatable. And 1533 01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,600 Speaker 1: I feel like we can if I can't give you 1534 01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:01,640 Speaker 1: the coaches here, but we can gain plan just to 1535 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,679 Speaker 1: kind of quick passes to eat the middle of that field. 1536 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,080 Speaker 1: If Ramsey's gonna stick with digs, that kind of takes 1537 01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,280 Speaker 1: him out of the out of the plays a lot 1538 01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,080 Speaker 1: of times. But if we can eat that secondary up 1539 01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:16,000 Speaker 1: in the middle and kind of push the safeties a 1540 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 1: little bit, UM, that's for defense. That's my philosophy. And 1541 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,879 Speaker 1: and and hit the ball out quick, try to avoid 1542 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:25,960 Speaker 1: Donald as much pressure as he can get in a 1543 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,920 Speaker 1: short span of time. Get the ball out, eat up 1544 01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 1: that that um, that middle of that defense, middle of 1545 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,439 Speaker 1: the field. We have the players to do so. And 1546 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 1: on offense, UM, I mean, I'm sorry, you know, on defense, 1547 01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,599 Speaker 1: I believe we have enough talent. I pray that Um, 1548 01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:46,120 Speaker 1: we get our linebackers back. But I believe the defense. 1549 01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:47,760 Speaker 1: I want to want people to panic too much. They 1550 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:49,719 Speaker 1: have to down game that they're gonna have at least 1551 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:53,960 Speaker 1: two maybe three They have the past two three years 1552 01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:57,080 Speaker 1: and they're gonna bounce back. I really believe we have 1553 01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:00,160 Speaker 1: enough on defense to stick with their offense. And you 1554 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 1: guys talked about not having to move around as much. Um, 1555 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,280 Speaker 1: if they're gonna follow guys because they do the Rams 1556 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:09,880 Speaker 1: do so much pre pre snap, Yeah, yeah, I think 1557 01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:13,280 Speaker 1: that'll be wise. Um, we really I usually have these 1558 01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: epiphanies and I'm I'm I'm just as hard on my 1559 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 1: team as I'm a doughheart. But I'm I'm I played football, 1560 01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,640 Speaker 1: I understand the game and I get it. But I 1561 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:25,640 Speaker 1: really feel we're gonna come out with a w here. 1562 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:30,479 Speaker 1: I really do. I don't see why we shouldn't. Uh, 1563 01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,519 Speaker 1: you know, it's as long as they put in the game, 1564 01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,880 Speaker 1: playing together. I guess you know that works for them, 1565 01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,800 Speaker 1: of course. Um, but if we could attack the middle 1566 01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,920 Speaker 1: of that field, I think we could. We could, we 1567 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,840 Speaker 1: could really pick on them real good. Right. Well, thanks Chris, 1568 01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:46,360 Speaker 1: and you're right, Uh this the Bills can win They've 1569 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 1: got enough talent to him. So do the but so 1570 01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:51,639 Speaker 1: do the Rams. And the Rams uh are as are 1571 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:54,040 Speaker 1: better than the first two teams the Bills have played. 1572 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:55,880 Speaker 1: And the odds makers think this is kind of a 1573 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,479 Speaker 1: push because the Bills are laying three points, which you know, 1574 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:00,559 Speaker 1: as a home favorite, is kind of like an even 1575 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:03,599 Speaker 1: Stephen kind of deal. Is this should be a really 1576 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,640 Speaker 1: good football game. I think it will come down to this. 1577 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,559 Speaker 1: One of the things that has held this team back. 1578 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 1: I said it yesterday or maybe perhaps the day before, 1579 01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,320 Speaker 1: is their propensity to put the ball on the ground. 1580 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:16,560 Speaker 1: If the Bills are going to fumble the way a 1581 01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 1: ball away on against this team, you may not be 1582 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: able to recover. So I think turnovers are an enormous 1583 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,519 Speaker 1: concern for Bill should be in a normal concern for 1584 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:33,200 Speaker 1: Bills fans. If the Bills fumble the ball away or 1585 01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:36,880 Speaker 1: Josh throw some interceptions, this is a team that is 1586 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:38,960 Speaker 1: going to be hard to recover from that from It's 1587 01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,200 Speaker 1: going to be really difficult to overcome that. So I 1588 01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,000 Speaker 1: don't know what you thought about. It's Chris still there. 1589 01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,599 Speaker 1: He is not all right. Thanks for the call, Chris, 1590 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 1: I was a good one. I mean, I think that 1591 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:49,719 Speaker 1: the Bills are going to be able to move the ball, 1592 01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 1: just like you know, I think the Rams are gonna 1593 01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:56,240 Speaker 1: be able to move the ball. That's why I think 1594 01:23:56,280 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 1: this could very well be a game that comes down 1595 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,559 Speaker 1: to who has the ball last. Who has the ball 1596 01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,840 Speaker 1: last might be the team that wins, provided they execute. Yeah, 1597 01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,000 Speaker 1: you were saying it yesterday, Steve, you got to have 1598 01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:12,559 Speaker 1: as many, if not more possessions than that Ram offense does. Yeah, 1599 01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 1: you need some possessions if you want to stay ahead 1600 01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:16,880 Speaker 1: on the scoreboard, and that's got to come via some 1601 01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:20,400 Speaker 1: takeaway or you know, maybe some misqu on special teams 1602 01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,920 Speaker 1: where you can get a takeaway there. I think if 1603 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:24,840 Speaker 1: one of the things that gets me about a kick, 1604 01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,800 Speaker 1: like I said, turnovers were a problem for Buffalo because 1605 01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,439 Speaker 1: they fumble it too much. I think one of the 1606 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 1: things about the Rams that I see the Bills might 1607 01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:35,920 Speaker 1: be able to take advantage of, or that I've seen 1608 01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 1: them take advantage of with other teams, is with hide 1609 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:45,320 Speaker 1: and Poyer, Jared Goff is not going to have seen 1610 01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:49,559 Speaker 1: two safeties that will not show him what he's going 1611 01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:51,800 Speaker 1: to be looking at once the ball is snapped like 1612 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,559 Speaker 1: these two guys. Yeah, those guys spin the wheel. They do. 1613 01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 1: They spin the wheel. And when the quarterback is under 1614 01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,280 Speaker 1: center or in the shotgun and he's looking around the 1615 01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:02,920 Speaker 1: secondary and he's seeing what he's looking at, He's not 1616 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 1: gonna know what the coverage is going to be until 1617 01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,080 Speaker 1: the ball is in his hands. Now, if he's gonna 1618 01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:12,599 Speaker 1: get rid of it on time and quick passing game, 1619 01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna find he's gonna get rid of it and 1620 01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: go to get rid of it one time and somebody 1621 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,000 Speaker 1: he didn't know what was gonna be there's going to 1622 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:20,960 Speaker 1: step into that passing land and he's gonna have to 1623 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,560 Speaker 1: either pull it down or he's gonna have to you know, 1624 01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:25,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna get it, throw it right to him because 1625 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 1: the Bills will disguise it. And if the ball comes 1626 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,760 Speaker 1: out on time on a quick passing route and the 1627 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 1: Bills guess right, it's going the other way. Yeah. And 1628 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 1: I think that in large part is because of poor 1629 01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,320 Speaker 1: year and hides ability to not show Jared Goff before 1630 01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 1: the snapboard, he's going to be looking at all. Right, 1631 01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:42,720 Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet, which is brought to 1632 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,639 Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company 1633 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,800 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills for your keys to a Bill's 1634 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 1: victory over the Rams on Sunday from Bubba, Let's get 1635 01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:54,759 Speaker 1: that run game going. Expect to get Beasley heavily involved 1636 01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,760 Speaker 1: with quick passes. If the pass rush becomes overwhelming, play 1637 01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 1: our game and don't try to do anything special. Small 1638 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,919 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, don't give them anything, 1639 01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 1: and protect Josh. I think that was a laundry list there. 1640 01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,200 Speaker 1: You had a lot of stuff packed into one tweet there. Yeah, 1641 01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:11,880 Speaker 1: there's yeah, key is not does not have an S 1642 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:13,760 Speaker 1: on it. So you got you. We're asking you to 1643 01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:15,519 Speaker 1: still let down and that's a hard thing to do 1644 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,800 Speaker 1: because we have all seen how complicated the game can 1645 01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 1: be and it's um and there will be a lot 1646 01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,000 Speaker 1: on the to do list against this team. I'm more 1647 01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 1: of a I'm more of a fan of tweet sheet 1648 01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,000 Speaker 1: number two from John where he says the key to 1649 01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,519 Speaker 1: all Bills victories are d line of linebackers. The Rams 1650 01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,200 Speaker 1: are having an explosive running game, so we need to 1651 01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,559 Speaker 1: stop the run. Our secondary is more than strong enough 1652 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 1: to stop the pass. Now the run game is going 1653 01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:39,160 Speaker 1: to be critical. It looks like cam Akers is going 1654 01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 1: to be a major question mark for them. That's their 1655 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 1: rookie running back who's part of that. They still got 1656 01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:45,479 Speaker 1: guys got torn rib cartilage. But I will tell you 1657 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 1: this last week Darryl Henderson. That guy runs hard, hard, 1658 01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:56,040 Speaker 1: and downhill. So he had a productive game for them 1659 01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,400 Speaker 1: last week. This is a team average in one hundred 1660 01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:02,840 Speaker 1: and seventy two yards a game on the ground. They're 1661 01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 1: putting it together. Everybody looks at this Rams offense. Is 1662 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,680 Speaker 1: this running as this passing machine? They're running the ball 1663 01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 1: damn well right now? Right He's got fifteen rushes for 1664 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:15,479 Speaker 1: eighty seven yards on the season and a couple of catches. 1665 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 1: But it was interesting to hear Maurice Jones Drew tell 1666 01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:21,240 Speaker 1: us this, and it makes a lot of sense, and 1667 01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,240 Speaker 1: people say, wow, are they doing that? Last year they 1668 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,120 Speaker 1: had Todd Gurley. They paid him a lot of money. 1669 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:27,920 Speaker 1: They kind of felt obligated to give him the line's 1670 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,880 Speaker 1: share of the carries. I think the trend in the 1671 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,680 Speaker 1: National Football League is the opposite of that. You need 1672 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:35,799 Speaker 1: to have a couple of guys. All of the Buffalo 1673 01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:39,960 Speaker 1: Bills and now the Rams. Of course the Patriots have 1674 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time. You know that 1675 01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,360 Speaker 1: you need more than one guy to get it done 1676 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,160 Speaker 1: because you need fresh legs in there all the time, 1677 01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:53,280 Speaker 1: guys with either similar or non similar styles of running, 1678 01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:58,120 Speaker 1: with a certain skill set. And I think the Rams 1679 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 1: are benefiting from the fact that they got fresh legs 1680 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:02,960 Speaker 1: and guys that have got a chip on their shoulder 1681 01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 1: and there all the time. The emotional content you bring 1682 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:09,479 Speaker 1: to the team and every play means something in this league. 1683 01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:13,080 Speaker 1: That's why you need to have motivated players where it's 1684 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 1: important to them. You got to have players and an 1685 01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,640 Speaker 1: atmosphere where players care about each other, so it's not 1686 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,519 Speaker 1: just them carrying the football in and hoping everybody does 1687 01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:23,639 Speaker 1: their job. You're carrying the ball for those guys yea. 1688 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:31,040 Speaker 1: And just that different mindset and having the feeling the 1689 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 1: responsibility of your teammates hopes and dreams with your play 1690 01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:38,960 Speaker 1: no matter what you're doing, whether you got the ball 1691 01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:42,679 Speaker 1: or not, that's a difference maker. And I think running 1692 01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,920 Speaker 1: back by committee is the most quintessential example of that. 1693 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 1: When you got a guy with the ball in his hands, 1694 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,040 Speaker 1: you can tell when a guy has got to have 1695 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 1: it and when a guy's like, I've got my money 1696 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,360 Speaker 1: and cam Akers, who's a major question mark for the 1697 01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:02,000 Speaker 1: Rams might be mirrored by a fellow rookie who's looking 1698 01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:03,679 Speaker 1: more and more like a question mark for the Bills 1699 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:05,840 Speaker 1: this week. And Zach Moss who is not practicing for 1700 01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,880 Speaker 1: a second straight day with a toe injury today. So t. J. 1701 01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,200 Speaker 1: Eldon could very well be up as the compliment to 1702 01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 1: one Devin Singletary come Sunday. We have to take a break, 1703 01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:17,640 Speaker 1: but when we return, more of your comments from the 1704 01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:19,479 Speaker 1: tweet sheet as we ask you what you think the 1705 01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:22,240 Speaker 1: key to victory is for the Bills on Sunday against 1706 01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,720 Speaker 1: the Rams.

So I've got ten questions for him, and 1718 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,640 Speaker 1: hopefully by the end of this our fans can know 1719 01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,519 Speaker 1: you a little bit better. So Number one, how did 1720 01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 1: you find football? And specifically how did you find kicking 1721 01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,479 Speaker 1: in football? Well, growing up, I always played soccer and 1722 01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:30,559 Speaker 1: I knew where I could kick the ball pretty far, 1723 01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:34,240 Speaker 1: and I loved watching football, so, um, you know, my 1724 01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,200 Speaker 1: grandmother kind of put two and two together and went 1725 01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:40,120 Speaker 1: my backyard and kicked a little bit and it just 1726 01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:43,560 Speaker 1: took all from there. How did you get recruited to 1727 01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:46,960 Speaker 1: Georgia Southern. I went to some kicking camp out of 1728 01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:49,800 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, ended up winning the camp, and I knew 1729 01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:52,360 Speaker 1: from there I could play college, but no scholarships came 1730 01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,200 Speaker 1: in or prefer wrongs except from George Southern. And asked 1731 01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,599 Speaker 1: because one of my teammates he was going to George Southern, 1732 01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:59,439 Speaker 1: he kind of talked to the coach for me, and 1733 01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,639 Speaker 1: the coach came to saw me and they just gave 1734 01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:03,240 Speaker 1: it a look for a walk on and I took 1735 01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:06,000 Speaker 1: you what would you say the farthest feedle goal is 1736 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,120 Speaker 1: that you've ever made. I mean I had that question 1737 01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:13,000 Speaker 1: a lot. It's just somewhere in the seventies, low seventies, 1738 01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,240 Speaker 1: I always say, But the most important is forty to 1739 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,080 Speaker 1: forty nine, Right, Yeah, I understand the ones you're going 1740 01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 1: to keep the most are the most important. Who's had 1741 01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:22,720 Speaker 1: the biggest impact on your football career? Just bought My 1742 01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:25,519 Speaker 1: mom and my grandmam, my dad, you know, just my 1743 01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:27,800 Speaker 1: family just being so supportive of me through the ups 1744 01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,920 Speaker 1: and the downs. Without my parents, I wouldn't be able 1745 01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:32,080 Speaker 1: to go to Door Southern. I was super grateful for them. 1746 01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:35,559 Speaker 1: Your Grandma's played a pretty interesting role in your football career. 1747 01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:38,640 Speaker 1: You know my grandmother, she's the MVP for sure. You know, 1748 01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,720 Speaker 1: she was always good me in high school practice. She 1749 01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:43,439 Speaker 1: never missed a high school game, and she never missed 1750 01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:46,320 Speaker 1: a college game. Just always having that solid foundation of 1751 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,000 Speaker 1: support from her. Just because a lot to me being 1752 01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:52,519 Speaker 1: out with the Bills for several months. What's different about 1753 01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:54,840 Speaker 1: this team and this roster and the guys that you've 1754 01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:57,479 Speaker 1: got to interact with. They are locked in and their focus. 1755 01:31:57,840 --> 01:31:59,879 Speaker 1: You know, they just have that hunger and that desire 1756 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 1: just to go out and perform day in and day out, 1757 01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:04,000 Speaker 1: no matter if it's in practice, no matter if it's 1758 01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,560 Speaker 1: in game. I mean they're competing. I just see that 1759 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,080 Speaker 1: fire and desire and that's something, you know. I'm super 1760 01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:10,479 Speaker 1: excited to be a part of it because I want 1761 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,280 Speaker 1: to contribute from me where I can. I think. So 1762 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:16,640 Speaker 1: I think, like you say, if you look good and 1763 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,000 Speaker 1: you play good, So I look for cleats that I 1764 01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,080 Speaker 1: can kick the best in, but also that you know, 1765 01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:22,960 Speaker 1: I feel like look good and you know, they have 1766 01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:25,320 Speaker 1: to kind of match the socks to look good. Always 1767 01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 1: have ragings on. That's really about it. What are some 1768 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,280 Speaker 1: hobbies that you have outside of football. I like to 1769 01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:32,400 Speaker 1: hunt fish, but I haven't been doing that a lot 1770 01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:35,439 Speaker 1: of here. You know. I like to xbox my cam, 1771 01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:38,800 Speaker 1: but I like to grill, you know, making steak. I 1772 01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:41,760 Speaker 1: had some salmon so easy. I have some size together 1773 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:44,600 Speaker 1: from potatoes and a little cesar salad something like that. 1774 01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:47,960 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed.

That is your sports update 1840 01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:18,200 Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive, our number three of the program. 1841 01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:21,760 Speaker 1: Starting now. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, broadcasting live 1842 01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,960 Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park as we 1843 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:29,240 Speaker 1: start our number three of One Bills Live, and we 1844 01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:30,960 Speaker 1: do want to get back to the tweet sheet as 1845 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,720 Speaker 1: we are asking you for the key to victory for 1846 01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:39,280 Speaker 1: the Bills this Sunday against the La Rams, and we 1847 01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:41,880 Speaker 1: are up to Joshua on the tweet sheet, which is 1848 01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:45,080 Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment 1849 01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:49,280 Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and Joshua says, get 1850 01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 1: the running game going, play action passes and do not 1851 01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,960 Speaker 1: shy away from digs even if Ramsey is following him 1852 01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,960 Speaker 1: all over the field. Defense has to get pressure on Goff. 1853 01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:02,519 Speaker 1: He is his story bad against teams who can get 1854 01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,519 Speaker 1: consistent pressure. And he's right about that because to this 1855 01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:09,799 Speaker 1: point Goff has only been sacked twice in two games. 1856 01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:12,960 Speaker 1: He has not had to flee the pocket all that often, 1857 01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:17,679 Speaker 1: and he's operating cool as a cucumber back there because 1858 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:19,800 Speaker 1: of it. One reason for that is because he's got 1859 01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:23,040 Speaker 1: a fantastic offensive line. Yeah, it's easy to say, hey, 1860 01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:25,840 Speaker 1: just get pressure. Not so easy to do it when 1861 01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:34,120 Speaker 1: you're going against Andrew Whitworth and Rob Havenstein Havenstein Havenstein 1862 01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:36,760 Speaker 1: on the as the tackles, and then Austin Corbett Joe 1863 01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:39,439 Speaker 1: not a boom for on the guards, and then Austin 1864 01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 1: Blythe is their center. They've they've got some guys who 1865 01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,519 Speaker 1: can really play. Those two tackles are as good as 1866 01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:46,240 Speaker 1: it gets, so that coming off the edge is going 1867 01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:49,400 Speaker 1: to be extremely difficult, and you can, as always, you 1868 01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:52,439 Speaker 1: can send extra people, but it's no guarantee they're going 1869 01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:54,680 Speaker 1: to get home in time, particularly against an offense that 1870 01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:56,080 Speaker 1: she used to get in the ball out And you 1871 01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:58,960 Speaker 1: might be surprised to hear this, but Next Gen Stats 1872 01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:02,280 Speaker 1: put a tweet out earlier this week and it said 1873 01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:05,160 Speaker 1: that the Bills rank second in the NFL in pressure 1874 01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:09,320 Speaker 1: rate despite facing the fastest average time to throw of 1875 01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:13,200 Speaker 1: any defense. Through the first two games, their pressure rate 1876 01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,280 Speaker 1: is thirty three percent, so they're getting pressure a third 1877 01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:20,679 Speaker 1: of the time despite the fact that opposing quarterbacks, namely 1878 01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:24,800 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and Ryan Fitzpatrick, have gotten the ball out 1879 01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:28,479 Speaker 1: Are you ready? In an average of two point four seconds. 1880 01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,600 Speaker 1: That's pretty quick. It's the fastest in the league. Of 1881 01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:36,320 Speaker 1: the first two opponents faced by teams this year, Eagles 1882 01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:41,360 Speaker 1: are second two point four seven seconds. The Bills have 1883 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,280 Speaker 1: faced the two teams that have gotten rid of the 1884 01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:46,599 Speaker 1: ball faster than anybody in the league. And they've also 1885 01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:51,000 Speaker 1: got the highest pressure rate, No, their second in second pressure. 1886 01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,439 Speaker 1: They've got the second highest rep pressure rate, and they've 1887 01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:55,479 Speaker 1: played the two fastest release teams. Yeah, and it just 1888 01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,559 Speaker 1: hasn't revealed itself in the form of sacks, at least 1889 01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:00,640 Speaker 1: a lot of them. Right now, I'm gonna ask you 1890 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 1: to go deep. Where's the rams stand in the in 1891 01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:05,719 Speaker 1: the get off? Yeah? You know what, Steve, the tweets 1892 01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,599 Speaker 1: didn't go that deep. They only gave the top five. 1893 01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:11,439 Speaker 1: What are you doing? They only gave the top five. 1894 01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:14,320 Speaker 1: Let me see if there's something on the thread here 1895 01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:19,760 Speaker 1: that goes a little deeper. Um, yeah, negative now, Um, 1896 01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:21,519 Speaker 1: I want to know what that is. We're gonna find 1897 01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:25,760 Speaker 1: that out for tomorrow. We'll try. Can't guarantee anything. But 1898 01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:28,599 Speaker 1: I can look up next gen stats and see if 1899 01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:31,880 Speaker 1: I can get the full list, full list, but I 1900 01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:34,280 Speaker 1: don't have it at this It will be interesting because 1901 01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:36,240 Speaker 1: it is does say something about the bills we've said. 1902 01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:37,640 Speaker 1: You know, they've got a couple of sacks. I mean, 1903 01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:41,080 Speaker 1: Mario Addison got one on on Fitzpatrick the other day, 1904 01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,120 Speaker 1: we got one on Darnald and then of course Dotson 1905 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:46,040 Speaker 1: got the one that the MSG people are looking at 1906 01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:47,560 Speaker 1: right now that counts as a sack as he was 1907 01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:52,800 Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, and then uh did did 1908 01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:55,080 Speaker 1: Mario Addison? Yeah, he might have got Addison has two? 1909 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,120 Speaker 1: All right, So Adison has two. They got some they're 1910 01:39:57,160 --> 01:39:58,760 Speaker 1: they're getting some guys down, but they're not, you know, 1911 01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:00,519 Speaker 1: they're not. It's not like one of these five sack 1912 01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:02,559 Speaker 1: days against any one of these teams that they've played. 1913 01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,400 Speaker 1: Addison has two, Dodson has one. TRN Murphy has won 1914 01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:07,559 Speaker 1: at olive read one last week, and poor your head 1915 01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:10,559 Speaker 1: one on a blitz, right, And that's where you're at. 1916 01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:14,759 Speaker 1: That's where you're at. Steve all right, I'm and speaking 1917 01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:18,679 Speaker 1: of Steve from Steve on the tweet sheet. Okay, he says, 1918 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,880 Speaker 1: I believe The key is stopping the Rams run game. 1919 01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,959 Speaker 1: After watching their past two games, they often leave themselves 1920 01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:26,960 Speaker 1: in third and short. The Bills need to win first 1921 01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:30,000 Speaker 1: down and stop the run. By stopping the run, it 1922 01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:32,760 Speaker 1: makes play action less effective, and that's what Goff thrives on. 1923 01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:35,240 Speaker 1: He's right about that. Golf does thrive on play action. 1924 01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:39,759 Speaker 1: Here's the problem, Okay, going into this game, the Rams 1925 01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:43,840 Speaker 1: are third in the league in average gain on first 1926 01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:46,479 Speaker 1: down seven point one two yards. You know who's number one, though, 1927 01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:50,880 Speaker 1: the Bills seven point five four yards on average. All right, 1928 01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:54,080 Speaker 1: so all right, more to talk about this later. We 1929 01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:55,720 Speaker 1: got we got somebody else. We gotta talk to you 1930 01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:58,080 Speaker 1: right now. Is he ready? I think he's ready. Yeah, 1931 01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:01,760 Speaker 1: you didn't heard.

Is that a cause that's particularly close to 1964 01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:40,200 Speaker 1: your heart or you just felt like, hey, this makes 1965 01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:44,320 Speaker 1: sense during the pandemic. Um, Yeah, kind of makes sense 1966 01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:49,320 Speaker 1: during the pandemic. Um. And yeah, how are you feeling? 1967 01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,920 Speaker 1: How are you feeling two weeks into the season. You 1968 01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:54,800 Speaker 1: guys are two and oh you got the rams coming in? 1969 01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:58,200 Speaker 1: You had, um, you know, you'd like to see yourselves 1970 01:42:58,320 --> 01:43:00,240 Speaker 1: run for more yards during the run game in the 1971 01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:03,120 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks. But what's the vibe around your 1972 01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:07,360 Speaker 1: room about the running game? How it's getting going? You know, 1973 01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:10,000 Speaker 1: we just staying locked In the first game, we kind 1974 01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:12,479 Speaker 1: of got off to a slow start. We'll see on 1975 01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:14,639 Speaker 1: the second game where we picked it up for sure. 1976 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:16,560 Speaker 1: So we just got to keep building off of that 1977 01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,479 Speaker 1: day in and they keep finding ways to no build 1978 01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:22,920 Speaker 1: upon what we've got already. So there's where we are. Yeah, Devin, 1979 01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 1: it was interesting to me that, you know, we leading 1980 01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:29,679 Speaker 1: up to the regular season, all we kept hearing about was, well, 1981 01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:31,479 Speaker 1: you know, they got to really hope that they can 1982 01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:34,439 Speaker 1: get the timing and the passing game down after missing 1983 01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:36,479 Speaker 1: all of that practice time in the spring and the 1984 01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:39,760 Speaker 1: summer and no preseason games, and I'm sitting there thinking 1985 01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:42,120 Speaker 1: to myself, well, what about the timing and the run game. 1986 01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:44,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the running backs got to get 1987 01:43:44,120 --> 01:43:46,720 Speaker 1: some reps against some live blocking too, and work off 1988 01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:48,760 Speaker 1: their guys up front. They didn't get a chance to 1989 01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:51,120 Speaker 1: do that either. So has that been kind of a 1990 01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,680 Speaker 1: work in progress when you know you didn't have four 1991 01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,519 Speaker 1: preseason games to kind of ramp up and get used 1992 01:43:56,560 --> 01:44:01,479 Speaker 1: to reading your blocks, Right, it's the same kind of thing, right, Um, definitely, definitely. Um. 1993 01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:03,800 Speaker 1: You know, coach did a great job as trying as 1994 01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:05,240 Speaker 1: busy as he could, you know, to give us that 1995 01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:08,800 Speaker 1: preseason game vibes with scrimmages and stuff. Yeah, but it's 1996 01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:11,040 Speaker 1: nothing like a real game. So I'm like you said, 1997 01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:13,680 Speaker 1: we didn't have that preseason With two weeks in, Um, 1998 01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:15,360 Speaker 1: I think we look decent, But like I said, we 1999 01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:17,160 Speaker 1: can build on it. We can we can still get better, 2000 01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,280 Speaker 1: and that's what we're working towards. What's been the vibe 2001 01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:23,760 Speaker 1: from the message from the coaching staff about these first 2002 01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,120 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Obviously you've won a couple of games, 2003 01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:28,960 Speaker 1: But I don't think in your room, you probably don't 2004 01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:31,839 Speaker 1: think you've played your best football. What's the coach's message 2005 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:35,920 Speaker 1: about that? Man, Keep pushing, you know, that's all we 2006 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,439 Speaker 1: can do at this point. Keep pushing, keep finding ways 2007 01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:40,679 Speaker 1: to get better, to keep finding ways to take advantage 2008 01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:42,680 Speaker 1: of our opportunities. You know, when they come all the way. 2009 01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:45,800 Speaker 1: I know that. You know, you guys up the yards 2010 01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,800 Speaker 1: per carry average And there were other plays that maybe 2011 01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:50,880 Speaker 1: he didn't go for huge yardage last week, but it 2012 01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,639 Speaker 1: looked like they were really close to kind of busting 2013 01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:55,400 Speaker 1: out for you know, you know where you get that 2014 01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:58,479 Speaker 1: first down and more and you're just like a shoe 2015 01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:01,479 Speaker 1: string cackle away from getting that extra yardage. Do you 2016 01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:06,000 Speaker 1: guys feel like you're building to a breakout tight day 2017 01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,920 Speaker 1: on the ground with the progress you've shown through the 2018 01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:13,040 Speaker 1: first two weeks. Definitely, I would say so. Um, it's 2019 01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:15,760 Speaker 1: definitely gonna come with time, But I definitely feel like 2020 01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:17,880 Speaker 1: we're on our way. Man. Like I say, day in 2021 01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:19,639 Speaker 1: and day out, we're just gonna keep pushing, keep finding 2022 01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,240 Speaker 1: ways to get better, and that big that big game 2023 01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:27,800 Speaker 1: gonna come. Sure. Just describe the Rams defense. You know 2024 01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:30,080 Speaker 1: they got all that big ninety nine in the middle 2025 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:32,840 Speaker 1: for him. You know, he definitely sticks out. He's gonna 2026 01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:36,080 Speaker 1: be moving around a lot. But the Defriends overall, they fast. 2027 01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:38,160 Speaker 1: You could tell, um, they get to the ball fast, 2028 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:42,479 Speaker 1: the very fast side on the sideline. Um. Yeah, so 2029 01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:44,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to come with our a game. Maybe 2030 01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:46,200 Speaker 1: this was a Super Bowl team a couple of years ago. 2031 01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:48,320 Speaker 1: You know they're gonna come out swing, so we gotta 2032 01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:50,559 Speaker 1: be ready to go. I know you mentioned ninety nine 2033 01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:53,920 Speaker 1: for them. And the thing I found interesting, Jevin is 2034 01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:57,000 Speaker 1: they're moving him all over the front, you know, so 2035 01:45:57,680 --> 01:45:59,920 Speaker 1: if you got I mean he's he played all four five, 2036 01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:02,840 Speaker 1: it's in like the first three series last week against Philadelphia. 2037 01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:06,439 Speaker 1: So how much does that add to the study time 2038 01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,880 Speaker 1: on your guys part when they are deploying that guy 2039 01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,719 Speaker 1: in so many different places. He's a big enough matchup 2040 01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:14,880 Speaker 1: to begin with, and then when they start moving them 2041 01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:17,920 Speaker 1: all across the formation, how much extra study time does 2042 01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:21,720 Speaker 1: that put on you guys? Um, yeah, definitely a little 2043 01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:24,680 Speaker 1: more study time. But I say, we just gotta be 2044 01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:27,400 Speaker 1: ready for him. We know they're gonna move them around. Um, 2045 01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:28,960 Speaker 1: we just gotta be ready for him. We gotta be 2046 01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,840 Speaker 1: ready to bring bring out a game. He coming full 2047 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,960 Speaker 1: for us, so it does. You know, we did have 2048 01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:36,800 Speaker 1: to lock in a little more, study a little more, 2049 01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:39,519 Speaker 1: but you know, he's still humans, so we got to 2050 01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:41,880 Speaker 1: make something happen. What were some of your personal goals 2051 01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:44,120 Speaker 1: coming in to start this season? There's only your only 2052 01:46:44,160 --> 01:46:45,720 Speaker 1: two games in, and I know there's a lot of 2053 01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:48,439 Speaker 1: stuff going on with the moving parts that COVID has presented. 2054 01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:51,519 Speaker 1: How did first of all, did that change your outlook 2055 01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:54,840 Speaker 1: about maybe the possibility of getting sixteen games in? You 2056 01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:56,360 Speaker 1: didn't know what this season was going to look like. 2057 01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:59,320 Speaker 1: And secondly, what are your goals for this season? What 2058 01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:02,479 Speaker 1: do you want to do? Yeah?

I 2068 01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:30,560 Speaker 1: know that with the way Josh has been slinging the 2069 01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:34,560 Speaker 1: ball around, You're you're probably anticipating at some point in 2070 01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:36,799 Speaker 1: time you're gonna be getting a lot of light boxes 2071 01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:40,920 Speaker 1: for the run game here because he is. You want 2072 01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:43,560 Speaker 1: to talk about discouraging a safety from coming down in 2073 01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:45,679 Speaker 1: the box. With the way Josh is slaying it around, 2074 01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:47,760 Speaker 1: that's got to put a smile on your face. I 2075 01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:49,960 Speaker 1: gotta imagine because you're thinking, Wow, I might be only 2076 01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,800 Speaker 1: seeing six seven man boxes here in the very near 2077 01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:54,920 Speaker 1: future with the way Josh is throwing it around. Right. 2078 01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:58,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, definitely, because they definitely got to respect 2079 01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:01,880 Speaker 1: that pass again.

Good luck on Sunday, for getting a big win, 2102 01:48:54,160 --> 01:48:57,400 Speaker 1: rack up some points this week. Man. All right, oh yeah, man, 2103 01:48:57,439 --> 01:49:00,679 Speaker 1: appreciate it. I have a good stuff. That's the motor. 2104 01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:03,680 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary joining us here on one Bills Live, and 2105 01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:08,000 Speaker 1: you know he's not a guy of many words. He's 2106 01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,439 Speaker 1: just about the work man. He really is. Like just 2107 01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:13,639 Speaker 1: haven't interviewed him, even as a rookie last year several times. 2108 01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:17,759 Speaker 1: He you know, he's polite, he wants to answer your questions, 2109 01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:21,879 Speaker 1: but he's just so about the work. Like the Daily Grind. 2110 01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:24,320 Speaker 1: He's not in it for media too, No, he is not, 2111 01:49:24,840 --> 01:49:27,360 Speaker 1: not at all. I mean he doesn't even have a 2112 01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:30,320 Speaker 1: huge presence on social media. He's just focused on the 2113 01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:33,320 Speaker 1: task and you gotta I mean, you know, he learned 2114 01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:36,720 Speaker 1: a ton last year from Frank or I mean, what 2115 01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:39,439 Speaker 1: a veteran to have to sit at the elbow of 2116 01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,080 Speaker 1: in the film room, you know, behind the play when 2117 01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,639 Speaker 1: you're not in at practice. Yeah, I mean you can't. 2118 01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:47,360 Speaker 1: You can't beat that for a mentor man, just to 2119 01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:50,200 Speaker 1: watch how it's done, especially being from the same area 2120 01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:53,519 Speaker 1: the country, you know, both South Florida guys. I mean 2121 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:56,799 Speaker 1: that's yeah, you couldn't ask for him so brilliant, I say, brilliant. 2122 01:49:56,840 --> 01:49:59,920 Speaker 1: They um, you know, you'd love to have a guy 2123 01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,439 Speaker 1: like that Frank Gore, who could you know, was not 2124 01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:05,960 Speaker 1: a fifteen year veteran at that point of the position. 2125 01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:08,960 Speaker 1: But it is a smart move and you see why. 2126 01:50:10,600 --> 01:50:13,960 Speaker 1: You know, Sean McDermott likes to have an old grizzled 2127 01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:17,000 Speaker 1: veteran in every position, group around the building, leaders in 2128 01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,479 Speaker 1: every room. And I've said it a ton. Longevity is 2129 01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:22,559 Speaker 1: one of those things that every young players looking at 2130 01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,479 Speaker 1: old guys going, I want to get there? How do 2131 01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:28,719 Speaker 1: I do that? And to put a guy like Frank 2132 01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:31,000 Speaker 1: Gore in there and Lee Smith in the tight end 2133 01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:33,200 Speaker 1: room and all that stuff, all that you can name 2134 01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:36,200 Speaker 1: whatever position group you want. Those guys are all saying, 2135 01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, how, how did you do that? And I 2136 01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:40,439 Speaker 1: want to do exactly the same thing. That's why Lorenzo, 2137 01:50:40,479 --> 01:50:43,840 Speaker 1: Alexander and Kyle Williams were big, big leaders on this team. 2138 01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:47,760 Speaker 1: It's a great move by a great philosophy by Sean McDermott. 2139 01:50:47,840 --> 01:50:50,360 Speaker 1: But you know, having the philosophy and executing as well 2140 01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:52,240 Speaker 1: as they have are two different things, and he's done both. 2141 01:50:52,760 --> 01:50:55,200 Speaker 1: Back to the tweet sheet, as we are looking for 2142 01:50:55,320 --> 01:50:58,280 Speaker 1: your keys to a Bill's victory over the Rams from George, 2143 01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:02,240 Speaker 1: don't let Goff have a week throwing to Higbee the 2144 01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:05,800 Speaker 1: way Fitz had throwing to Kisiki. Getting the running game 2145 01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:09,040 Speaker 1: going to not allow Donald to tee off on Allen 2146 01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:12,280 Speaker 1: is also a key. And we were just talking to 2147 01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:16,639 Speaker 1: Devin about that, and he thinks they're close. He feels 2148 01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:18,200 Speaker 1: that they took a step in week two, and I 2149 01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:22,120 Speaker 1: would agree. I think they did. Josh still carry the offense. 2150 01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:25,120 Speaker 1: It was extraordinarily productive so the run game didn't really 2151 01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:29,040 Speaker 1: have to provide a lot of production when you think 2152 01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:32,439 Speaker 1: about it. But Devin averaged over five yards a carry 2153 01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:35,160 Speaker 1: last week. I mean, that's nothing to sneeze at. And 2154 01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:39,680 Speaker 1: Zach Moss average four point six to carry, so not terry, 2155 01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, I thought it was it was good enough 2156 01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:45,280 Speaker 1: to provide enough balance, but it would be nice to 2157 01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:48,320 Speaker 1: see them kind of lean on it a little bit more. 2158 01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:51,280 Speaker 1: The differences and the reason why we're sitting here thinking 2159 01:51:51,320 --> 01:51:55,400 Speaker 1: no man is because there was a lot of games 2160 01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:58,320 Speaker 1: for one or zero yards mixed in with a couple 2161 01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:02,320 Speaker 1: of plays snapped off for like fifteen yard or or 2162 01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, or whatever the loan was. For Devin's singletary, 2163 01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:09,160 Speaker 1: it seemed to be feast or famine a little bit 2164 01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:11,000 Speaker 1: in the run game. Certainly they used them also in 2165 01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:13,040 Speaker 1: the passing game. He saw that the highlights were watching 2166 01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:15,519 Speaker 1: on MSG were that, you know, given the screen passes. 2167 01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:18,000 Speaker 1: The screen passes made a little bit of resurgent in 2168 01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:19,599 Speaker 1: the offense the first couple of weeks of this year, 2169 01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:22,759 Speaker 1: where it was kind of disappeared last year for stretches. 2170 01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:26,479 Speaker 1: So but it'd be nice to have if they're going 2171 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:28,840 Speaker 1: to average that Perry be nice to get that every 2172 01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:31,760 Speaker 1: carry instead of sprinkling in along when in between a 2173 01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:33,439 Speaker 1: couple of runs that put you in a third and ten. 2174 01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:36,280 Speaker 1: I will say that the thing that encouraged me most 2175 01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:40,439 Speaker 1: about Moss and Singletary as a combination was their ability 2176 01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:43,760 Speaker 1: to get yards after initial contact. Our MSG viewers just 2177 01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:46,519 Speaker 1: watched a couple of clips of Devin doing exactly that, 2178 01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:48,760 Speaker 1: and Zach Moss did that a couple of times too, 2179 01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:52,439 Speaker 1: and that is what made them so appealing to the 2180 01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:56,800 Speaker 1: Bills because what that means is even when you don't 2181 01:52:56,880 --> 01:53:00,439 Speaker 1: block up a play perfectly, these guys are still going 2182 01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:02,679 Speaker 1: to be able to get you two or three yards 2183 01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:07,439 Speaker 1: because of their ability to have great contact balance and 2184 01:53:07,640 --> 01:53:11,719 Speaker 1: still fall forward, lunge forward, you know, get the extra yard, 2185 01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:14,320 Speaker 1: so instead of a second and nine, you're in a 2186 01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,760 Speaker 1: second and seven, you know, or even a second and six. 2187 01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:20,840 Speaker 1: And that's where I thought they were noticeably better last week. 2188 01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:24,720 Speaker 1: So you just hope that continues. Yeah, And that's I 2189 01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:27,360 Speaker 1: think this is the thing that keeps me kind of 2190 01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:31,439 Speaker 1: enthusiastic about this club going forward. And even though it's 2191 01:53:31,479 --> 01:53:33,200 Speaker 1: been two weeks of now they're a little better this 2192 01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:35,040 Speaker 1: week and than they were last week. Is the fact 2193 01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:36,519 Speaker 1: that I know that this team is going to be 2194 01:53:36,600 --> 01:53:39,920 Speaker 1: playing very very differently in a month from now. They're 2195 01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:41,719 Speaker 1: going to be a better football team, and you're gonna 2196 01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:43,320 Speaker 1: see other players. You know, they're going to see a emerger. 2197 01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:44,680 Speaker 1: We're going to find out a little bit more who 2198 01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:48,680 Speaker 1: they are, like every team will. But Sean McDermot and 2199 01:53:48,720 --> 01:53:50,479 Speaker 1: this coaching staff get more and more and more out 2200 01:53:50,520 --> 01:53:52,080 Speaker 1: of their players. They put more and more in their 2201 01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:56,400 Speaker 1: players plates and they and it seems like they don't 2202 01:53:56,479 --> 01:53:58,320 Speaker 1: give it to the players to do until they know 2203 01:53:58,400 --> 01:53:59,920 Speaker 1: that players are going to be able to execute it. 2204 01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:04,400 Speaker 1: Like a Japanezza out one week back. Now he's on 2205 01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:07,519 Speaker 1: the field in his week two of his career, and 2206 01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:09,800 Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to see if that trend continues or 2207 01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:13,320 Speaker 1: whether he's back off off the active roster. But I 2208 01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:16,360 Speaker 1: think the way that they motivate these players by giving 2209 01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:21,519 Speaker 1: them something to do, their player development philosophy really pays dividends. 2210 01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:23,439 Speaker 1: And I think in the coming weeks, we're gonna see 2211 01:54:23,479 --> 01:54:25,840 Speaker 1: this team play better and better and it's gonna change 2212 01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:28,240 Speaker 1: as the season rolls along. I think that's a fun 2213 01:54:28,320 --> 01:54:30,160 Speaker 1: thing to look forward to. Of course, we'd like to 2214 01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:34,360 Speaker 1: see him win games while they're doing it. But the 2215 01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:36,680 Speaker 1: point is maybe they'll win more games down the road, 2216 01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:38,880 Speaker 1: even if they're not quite the same team as they 2217 01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:41,960 Speaker 1: are right now. From Scottie on the tweet sheet, dress 2218 01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:45,840 Speaker 1: Lee Smith two to three tight end formations wear down 2219 01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:48,160 Speaker 1: the Rams defense with a strong run game and ball 2220 01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:51,040 Speaker 1: control in the first half, and keep that Rams offense 2221 01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:54,480 Speaker 1: off the field. That would be in stark contrast to 2222 01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:56,560 Speaker 1: what we have seen the first two weeks, Steve. I mean, 2223 01:54:56,680 --> 01:54:58,320 Speaker 1: each of the first two weeks, the Bills had all 2224 01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:02,600 Speaker 1: six of their receivers up and active. If you dress 2225 01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:05,640 Speaker 1: Lee Smith, that would be in stark contrast. Now, Lee 2226 01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:08,360 Speaker 1: Smith could very well be active this week because it's 2227 01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:10,680 Speaker 1: not looking good for Dawson Knox, who's still in concussion 2228 01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:14,160 Speaker 1: protocol um. But I would expect Tyler Croft to be 2229 01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:16,560 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox's replacement in the lineup if they want to 2230 01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:18,520 Speaker 1: use the tight end in the same fashion that they 2231 01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:20,040 Speaker 1: have each of the first two weeks. And then the 2232 01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:26,160 Speaker 1: question is does does Gilliam take the place of the 2233 01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:29,680 Speaker 1: third tight end? You know, if it becomes it becomes 2234 01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:32,680 Speaker 1: a Gilliam h Croft, then Gilliam comes in as a 2235 01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:34,680 Speaker 1: tight end instead of a fullback cut and he was 2236 01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:37,200 Speaker 1: up last week and Lee Smith was not for the 2237 01:55:37,280 --> 01:55:39,640 Speaker 1: first two weeks. Maybe that'll be Maybe it'll be Lee 2238 01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:44,040 Speaker 1: Smith's odd man out playing special teams um and only 2239 01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:47,839 Speaker 1: in on short yardage goal lines. Yeah, from max time 2240 01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:51,360 Speaker 1: of possession. They're a well rounded team and if they 2241 01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:55,320 Speaker 1: can get a few stops on our O plus pair 2242 01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:59,000 Speaker 1: some long drives against our D, this will be a 2243 01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:01,760 Speaker 1: very tough matt up. To win, Arden needs to force 2244 01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:04,960 Speaker 1: a few three and ounce as it's known to do, 2245 01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:10,680 Speaker 1: and the O needs to continue to move the chains. Yeah, 2246 01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:13,080 Speaker 1: I think that comes down. If you want to do that, 2247 01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:15,120 Speaker 1: you can get some three and outs. Sure, that'll help 2248 01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:18,040 Speaker 1: you get the football back. Also, even if they do 2249 01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:19,880 Speaker 1: move the ball some, I think he got to force 2250 01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:23,760 Speaker 1: some turnovers, and I think the two safeties the Bills 2251 01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:25,720 Speaker 1: have got a chance to force some turnovers. I think 2252 01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:27,400 Speaker 1: they're going to confuse get Jerry Golf. I don't think 2253 01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:29,200 Speaker 1: he gets a chance to see safeties play the way 2254 01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:31,200 Speaker 1: the Bills safeties will. And if they try to throw 2255 01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:33,760 Speaker 1: that ball on time, there may be somebody dropping into 2256 01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:36,680 Speaker 1: a passing lane that he's not anticipating and might send 2257 01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:39,480 Speaker 1: it back the other way. That's that's my hope. You know, 2258 01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:42,760 Speaker 1: that's what I think could possibly happen. We'll see, the 2259 01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:44,560 Speaker 1: best way to get extra possessions is to get a 2260 01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:48,680 Speaker 1: couple of takeaways, right, let's get it. Because the Bills 2261 01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:51,080 Speaker 1: what they have. They have a fumble recovery in week 2262 01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:54,960 Speaker 1: one Jerry Hughes on a forced fumble by Jordan Poyer, 2263 01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:58,480 Speaker 1: and I don't think they got one last week because 2264 01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:01,720 Speaker 1: Fitz didn't throw a pick fumble. I think they got 2265 01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:05,040 Speaker 1: a fumble. No, I don't think they did. No, So 2266 01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:07,120 Speaker 1: I think there. I know they're minus one on the 2267 01:57:07,240 --> 01:57:11,920 Speaker 1: year in the takeaway giveaway ratio or margin, and the 2268 01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:15,640 Speaker 1: Rams come in plus one. They have three takeaways on 2269 01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,480 Speaker 1: the season, I think two giveaways, so they're kind of 2270 01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:23,200 Speaker 1: around the same area. But hopefully when opportunity presents itself. Yeah, 2271 01:57:23,240 --> 01:57:25,440 Speaker 1: they had to get an extra possession for this offense. Yeah, 2272 01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:27,360 Speaker 1: this hasn't been a year like it was in nineteen 2273 01:57:27,680 --> 01:57:30,680 Speaker 1: or two thousand and seven or eighteen I guess, or 2274 01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:36,840 Speaker 1: when the seventeen mcdermot's first year, when that defense, you know, 2275 01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:39,000 Speaker 1: they showed up really big and they started churning out 2276 01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:40,600 Speaker 1: all those turnovers in the first half of the sea 2277 01:57:40,600 --> 01:57:42,680 Speaker 1: and that really drove them to the playoffs of their 2278 01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:46,600 Speaker 1: ability to get a bunch of turnovers and because of that, 2279 01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, it catapult them to a couple of wins 2280 01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:54,240 Speaker 1: they may not have otherwise gotten. And interesting that this team, 2281 01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:58,880 Speaker 1: it's a much better football team, but gets far fewer turnovers. 2282 01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:01,400 Speaker 1: And it was that weighed last year as well, so 2283 01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:03,800 Speaker 1: still had to be thought about it. But I think 2284 01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:07,400 Speaker 1: they can get back to that if they can get 2285 01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:09,560 Speaker 1: him to throw it to the wrong guy. Yeah, and 2286 01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:12,640 Speaker 1: that comes sometimes when you get the pressure that you 2287 01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:16,080 Speaker 1: need to force hurried decisions and ill advised decisions. So yeah, 2288 01:58:16,080 --> 01:58:18,880 Speaker 1: that's stat you said about most pressure the quickest. The 2289 01:58:18,920 --> 01:58:20,480 Speaker 1: Bills are number two in the league and they've thrown 2290 01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:23,440 Speaker 1: against the quickest release teams. Yeah, that's interesting to me. 2291 01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm gonna be watching that. I'm gonna write 2292 01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:28,360 Speaker 1: that down and using the broadcast I think. Okay, I'll 2293 01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:30,720 Speaker 1: send you the tweet. It's from next Gen Stats, so 2294 01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:33,800 Speaker 1: credit to them. And it was an interesting one. And 2295 01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:36,240 Speaker 1: Goff does get it out quick more often than not. 2296 01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:37,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets it out quite that fast, 2297 01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:40,160 Speaker 1: but he gets it out pretty fast. I haven't put 2298 01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:42,320 Speaker 1: the stop watch on him yet to really know. All right, 2299 01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:44,240 Speaker 1: Steve and I have to take a break. We'll finish 2300 01:58:44,320 --> 01:58:46,800 Speaker 1: up the tweet sheet and get to a little NFL 2301 01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:49,040 Speaker 1: true false when we return here on One Bills Live, 2302 01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:52,520 Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. 2303 01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:56,400 Speaker 1: I just forgot Steve.

I didn't give you the 2333 02:01:40,240 --> 02:01:42,600 Speaker 1: year because I think that that might give it away. 2334 02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:47,840 Speaker 1: We're trying to be difficult here, Steve. Degree of difficulty. 2335 02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:50,040 Speaker 1: This is not supposed to be easy. Kind of hardness, 2336 02:01:51,000 --> 02:02:06,400 Speaker 1: Jacksons stay second round pick.

I spent my 2342 02:02:26,280 --> 02:02:29,480 Speaker 1: entire NFL career in the AFC East, but it was 2343 02:02:29,520 --> 02:02:32,120 Speaker 1: with the Bills and one other team in the division. 2344 02:02:38,680 --> 02:02:40,520 Speaker 1: Right now, the fans are starting to go, I know 2345 02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:43,800 Speaker 1: who it is.

I mean the 2350 02:03:02,280 --> 02:03:04,000 Speaker 1: second round pick of the Bills. That means he moved 2351 02:03:04,040 --> 02:03:06,320 Speaker 1: on from the Bills went to another team, probably which 2352 02:03:06,440 --> 02:03:09,800 Speaker 1: was in the AFC. I'm thinking it's gotta be, it's 2353 02:03:09,840 --> 02:03:18,960 Speaker 1: gotta it's gotta be. I'm thinking a defender, because yeah, oh, 2354 02:03:19,040 --> 02:03:22,760 Speaker 1: could be a could be an old line Steve is 2355 02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:28,840 Speaker 1: working Howard Ballard.

You got me with that one. 2459 02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:46,720 Speaker 1: We had you going. You guessed a bunch of receivers. 2460 02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:48,080 Speaker 1: I was like, ooh, he's on the right track here. 2461 02:08:48,080 --> 02:08:49,360 Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna get it a lot sooner 2462 02:08:49,480 --> 02:08:51,240 Speaker 1: tell you something. That's why. That's why I'm never gonna 2463 02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:54,040 Speaker 1: get in the Hall of Fame. That right there, and 2464 02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:58,600 Speaker 1: he's a perfect example. So he plays wide receiver and 2465 02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:01,640 Speaker 1: I don't know whether it got he got pushed out 2466 02:09:01,800 --> 02:09:04,520 Speaker 1: or they were moving Flip Johnson around or you know, 2467 02:09:04,520 --> 02:09:06,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on there because he 2468 02:09:06,320 --> 02:09:07,520 Speaker 1: was here for two games and then all of a 2469 02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:09,960 Speaker 1: sudden he got waived. He yeah, he left because he 2470 02:09:10,440 --> 02:09:12,560 Speaker 1: was like listen, I'm I'm a good player, and you 2471 02:09:12,840 --> 02:09:14,200 Speaker 1: you know what's the deal was. He was kind of 2472 02:09:14,200 --> 02:09:16,280 Speaker 1: disgruntled and they said, okay, you're So he goes right 2473 02:09:16,320 --> 02:09:19,200 Speaker 1: to the Jets and they put him on special teams 2474 02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:21,640 Speaker 1: right away. And he was like a third down receiver, 2475 02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:25,440 Speaker 1: never had never played special teams. So he goes right 2476 02:09:25,480 --> 02:09:28,040 Speaker 1: to the Jets as their MVP. Because he tells it 2477 02:09:28,120 --> 02:09:31,280 Speaker 1: on Specialty's why I'm one guy just goes over one 2478 02:09:31,360 --> 02:09:34,440 Speaker 1: year MVP of their team on special you know, because 2479 02:09:34,440 --> 02:09:37,200 Speaker 1: he played special teams. Yeah, that's how easy it was 2480 02:09:37,280 --> 02:09:39,720 Speaker 1: this place. Everybody plays special teams. Well yeah, but it 2481 02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:42,200 Speaker 1: was interesting because I was reading an old New York 2482 02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:45,040 Speaker 1: Times right up research and the clues for taskers teammate, 2483 02:09:45,560 --> 02:09:48,440 Speaker 1: and one of his old teammates said, yeah, I was. 2484 02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:50,920 Speaker 1: We were stunned when he didn't go to the Pro 2485 02:09:51,080 --> 02:09:53,560 Speaker 1: Bowl for the AFC as the special teams rep because 2486 02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:56,200 Speaker 1: of the monster year he had for fumble record. That's 2487 02:09:56,240 --> 02:09:59,000 Speaker 1: hard to do on special teams. Don't have to tell 2488 02:09:59,040 --> 02:10:01,360 Speaker 1: you that, it's BA And he had a block kick too, 2489 02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:03,640 Speaker 1: I think that year. So four fumble recoveries and a 2490 02:10:03,680 --> 02:10:06,000 Speaker 1: block kick on special teams and he doesn't go to 2491 02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:08,760 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl because some guy over here was doing 2492 02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:11,800 Speaker 1: some similar stuff that same year. Well, because this guy 2493 02:10:11,840 --> 02:10:14,080 Speaker 1: we're here was playing on the Bills and the Bills 2494 02:10:14,080 --> 02:10:16,320 Speaker 1: were the juggernaut of the conference and the Jets and 2495 02:10:16,880 --> 02:10:20,480 Speaker 1: not and also, but those are the kind of plays, 2496 02:10:20,520 --> 02:10:23,280 Speaker 1: the fumble recoveries and the block kick, those are the 2497 02:10:23,320 --> 02:10:25,360 Speaker 1: kind of plays that get you in. Yeah, those are 2498 02:10:25,440 --> 02:10:27,960 Speaker 1: exactly you got to make those splashis those are exactly 2499 02:10:28,040 --> 02:10:29,720 Speaker 1: the kind of plays you gotta make. Yeah, I mean 2500 02:10:29,840 --> 02:10:33,120 Speaker 1: unless you're some dynamic return man or well even then 2501 02:10:33,240 --> 02:10:36,560 Speaker 1: so you know that's yeah, So that's um yeah, Crisper 2502 02:10:36,640 --> 02:10:39,800 Speaker 1: Kitt good dude. Yeah, so that was a fun Tasker's teammate. 2503 02:10:39,880 --> 02:10:42,520 Speaker 1: We'll have one next week as well as we like 2504 02:10:42,800 --> 02:10:46,280 Speaker 1: uh grinding Steve's gears with these you got me on that. 2505 02:10:46,920 --> 02:10:48,720 Speaker 1: We had to go deep on that one. Yeah, so 2506 02:10:48,840 --> 02:10:50,640 Speaker 1: that was good. All right, we have to take a break, 2507 02:10:50,680 --> 02:10:52,680 Speaker 1: but when we return, it'll be time for what have 2508 02:10:52,760 --> 02:10:56,080 Speaker 1: we learned from today's show? That's coming up next Here 2509 02:10:56,120 --> 02:10:58,240 Speaker 1: on one Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health, This 2510 02:10:58,520 --> 02:11:15,640 Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's radio time for what have we learned 2511 02:11:15,680 --> 02:11:20,320 Speaker 1: from today's show? Presented by Skyworks, the official construction equipment 2512 02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:27,560 Speaker 1: rental company of the Buffalo Bills. Steve, I don't know. 2513 02:11:28,360 --> 02:11:32,160 Speaker 1: I think we've learned that Devin Singletary is encouraged and 2514 02:11:32,240 --> 02:11:35,480 Speaker 1: thinks the running game is real close to popping. He was, 2515 02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:38,440 Speaker 1: he was pretty he was pretty adamant about it. Yeah, 2516 02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:40,280 Speaker 1: I think he feels they're not far away. He was 2517 02:11:40,360 --> 02:11:44,520 Speaker 1: not discouraged at all. He was into the process, and 2518 02:11:44,560 --> 02:11:46,320 Speaker 1: you know they're gonna keep working hard and getting it 2519 02:11:46,400 --> 02:11:48,320 Speaker 1: better and at some point, and it may not be 2520 02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:50,520 Speaker 1: all at once. I think what will probably happen. They'll 2521 02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:52,640 Speaker 1: have a game where they bust out at works and 2522 02:11:52,640 --> 02:11:54,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna stay with it, and then another team will 2523 02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:56,160 Speaker 1: come in and they'll be ready for it. You have 2524 02:11:56,240 --> 02:11:58,240 Speaker 1: to go away from it again. Um. I think it's 2525 02:11:58,280 --> 02:12:01,520 Speaker 1: gonna be one of those one of those seasons where 2526 02:12:02,200 --> 02:12:04,360 Speaker 1: if it's you gotta have a when you need it. 2527 02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:06,960 Speaker 1: And the games where the Bills won't win will be 2528 02:12:07,040 --> 02:12:09,200 Speaker 1: a game where they'll call on one part of their offense, 2529 02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:10,840 Speaker 1: it won't be able to come through, or they'll make 2530 02:12:10,840 --> 02:12:13,480 Speaker 1: a mistake that at a crucial moment. But this is 2531 02:12:13,520 --> 02:12:17,280 Speaker 1: a team that's as of now, even without the running 2532 02:12:17,320 --> 02:12:20,040 Speaker 1: game going up for two hundred yards, it's a team 2533 02:12:20,080 --> 02:12:23,640 Speaker 1: that's hitting on all cylinders and their defense is playing well. 2534 02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:26,280 Speaker 1: They're getting quick pressure. The ball has to come out 2535 02:12:26,360 --> 02:12:30,520 Speaker 1: fast against their quarterbacks. Their running games, their running game 2536 02:12:30,560 --> 02:12:32,320 Speaker 1: of the Rams is really going to test him. I 2537 02:12:32,360 --> 02:12:34,240 Speaker 1: think this week that's the real test. I don't think 2538 02:12:34,240 --> 02:12:36,840 Speaker 1: it's the Rams passing game, because it's the passing league. 2539 02:12:37,640 --> 02:12:40,680 Speaker 1: Everybody throws the football right I think they're rushing at 2540 02:12:40,720 --> 02:12:43,160 Speaker 1: fifty eight percent at the time. This is the year, 2541 02:12:43,280 --> 02:12:45,120 Speaker 1: this is the week where your run defense is going 2542 02:12:45,160 --> 02:12:48,080 Speaker 1: to be the crucial felt element of your defense. So 2543 02:12:48,280 --> 02:12:50,920 Speaker 1: we'll see if the Bills can tie that together. They 2544 02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:52,760 Speaker 1: have been good against the run. They're third in the 2545 02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:55,480 Speaker 1: league right now, given up only seventy five yards a 2546 02:12:55,560 --> 02:12:58,320 Speaker 1: game on the ground. The Rams are rolling up one 2547 02:12:58,400 --> 02:13:00,160 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two on the ground a game. So 2548 02:13:01,480 --> 02:13:02,960 Speaker 1: that's where the rubber is going to meet the road 2549 02:13:03,040 --> 02:13:05,720 Speaker 1: this week, where maybe not too many people are expecting 2550 02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:07,280 Speaker 1: it too, because they're thinking the ball is gonna be 2551 02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:11,120 Speaker 1: flying all over the yard on Sunday. The Rams want 2552 02:13:11,160 --> 02:13:12,760 Speaker 1: to run it first. We'll see if they can get 2553 02:13:12,760 --> 02:13:14,320 Speaker 1: it done. It's gonna be it's gonna be a challenge 2554 02:13:14,320 --> 02:13:19,320 Speaker 1: for a gigantic show tomorrow.
