1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: If mcdug says sound and soon moving into pits, so bleak.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: The hope has been overwhelmed by the hype around the

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, the expectation for a playoff payoff at the

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: end of the year. The expectations are sky high. Welcome

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: to the NFL season kickoff. Welcome to the sixty third

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: season of Buffalo Bills football. Welcome to SOFI Stadium in Inglewood, California.

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Rolls his right, fires a man wide open. It is cut.

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: It is cut by David runs into the ends off

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: touchdown Buffalo a beautiful play action pass. Amazing. Can you

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: know the bun? When his mill stafford surrounded by Bills

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: and crop, he's in trouble. He has sacked Von Lellard.

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: Curtis back in a Buffalo Bills uniform. You're gonna keep

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: it in, run with it, heads to the far sideline.

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: He gets tracked down by their ends, but he's got

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: the first down. Goss found a crease in the defense

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: and then he was off to the races and he

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: threw a big old stiff arm at the end of

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: that run. Let's throw fires cut by Isam McKenzie fights

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: his way into the end of a staff. Buffalo is

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: gonna go Gem looks it down field. He makes the

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: catch there escape Davids who makes the catch there and

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: he has brought down became the pool with pumps once.

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna keep it. He's gonna run. He's inside

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: the five. He's tried to stretch into the end zone.

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: He is in. He is in touchdown Buffalo. John Challening

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: the hook through the fired one down the middle of

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: this trn is intercepted, picked off by Jordan Foyer at

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: the Muffalo thirty eight and he is put down by

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup at the Buffalo forty one yard line. Interception.

30
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: Runs to his right, girls to downfield looking for Digs.

31
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Dick stopped and he makes the catch and he's in

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: the Endclone touchdown Buffalo step on Diggs adjusted as the

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: ball was hung up high by Josh Allen and you

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: just passed his tip. It is intercepted, picked off by

35
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Boogie Basher in the bill. He's still on the run

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: inside the thirty, inside the twenty five and brought down

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: finally at the twenty two yard line. Boogie Basham living

38
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Nick you head of life doing him and did what

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing? What advice, he said, thirty one to ten,

40
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's victor, a game that was tied at ten

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: apiece in the first half at halftime, and the Bills

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: come out on top thirty one to ten and a

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: remarkable start for the Bills, a great start to this season.

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Let the party began here in Los Angeles and back

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: home in Buffalo. That is your Toeshiba game. Rewind Toshiba,

46
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: the official copier company of the Buffalo Bills, welcome into

47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Football Friday. After the Thursday night kickoff game

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: in which the Bills probably could have won by forty

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: were it not for four turnovers of their own. The

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: the biggest Bills enemy in that game that kept it

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: from being a blowout at halftime were the Bills, who

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: had three first half turnovers which turned an early ten

53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: nothing lead into a ten ten tie at halftime. But

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the team comes out over the final two quarters and

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: smokes the Rams like salmon. I mean, the Rams didn't

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: score a single point in the second half. The Bills

57
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: get three takeaways of their own, all via the interception.

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: They don't blitz Matthew Stafford a single time in the game,

59
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: sack him seven times, hit him fifteen more times. It's

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. Steve. Back in March after free agency, Okay,

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: people are talking about Von Miller, and Von was great

62
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: last night, and you know, they're talking about other additions

63
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: to the team. And I said, I might be in

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: the minority here, I said, but I'm really pumped up

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: about the defensive tackles on this team. When they added

66
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, Tim Settle and de Kwon Jones. I said,

67
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I want to see those guys more than anybody else

68
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: when we get to the regular season. And I don't

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: know if there was an element of Buffalo's team that

70
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: made a bigger difference than the defensive line last night.

71
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Kudos to everybody else because it was a total team effort.

72
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: But you want to talk about tone setters, those guys

73
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: up front brought it hard and the Rams had no

74
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: answers whatsoever. Four of the last six games of the

75
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: Bills have played, they haven't had to punt. Last night

76
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: was another one. The Bills get the ball to open

77
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: the game, and as I reminded you, it's plinkety plink, plink,

78
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: boomed down the field. Touchdown. They come out and get

79
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: a stop on the Rams. They start, they're taking the

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: ball down again to score. They haven't. I mean, they

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: haven't even hiccupped. And then the Mackenzie catch catch interception,

82
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: and you know you just think, wow, okay, get it

83
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: really took the air out of the balloon for a minute.

84
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: The Bills answered it with a three and out. They

85
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: come back out and they get a field goal on

86
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: the next one. I mean, it's just one thing that

87
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: back to back actually turnovers. Yeah, so it was the

88
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 1: interception then then the fumble, but unbelievable the way this game,

89
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, unfolded. You said it in the in the pregame,

90
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: he said, one big thing, you know, the defensive lines

91
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: gotta um they had better than the rams d line

92
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: and they were and also a mile and also the

93
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: Bills Marquee players had to play big in the big

94
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: moments and they did buy a mile. Jalen Ramsey is

95
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Twitter fodder today. He gave up two touchdowns, now want

96
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: not all of them were his and he didn't play.

97
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't horrific last night. And some of

98
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: the things that his responsibilities he was trying to cover

99
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: so for some people and was expecting some things in

100
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: the secondary that didn't happen for him. He was supposed

101
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: to get some help on the long Diggs touchdown, didn't

102
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: get it. But nevertheless, the Bills stars shined brightly last night,

103
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: the brightest of which were Diggs, von Miller, and of course,

104
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: the creature John Josh Owen, who is still the ultimate weapon.

105
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: I remember back in twenty nineteen after that Miami game

106
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: where Josh put the team on his back and almost

107
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: single handedly won a game and came within a Charles

108
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: Clay catch at the goal line of staging a ridiculous comeback,

109
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: but they lose that game. Twenty one seventeen, I came

110
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: in here with you and Murph and I said, the

111
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: Bills have their quarterback. Yeah, we've seen the dramatic increase

112
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: in productivity, poise, decision making, accuracy, all of those things.

113
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer, who we've had on this show several times,

114
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: told us there is no ceiling to his game, which

115
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: is a frightening thought in light of how well he's

116
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: played the last two plus seasons. But a creature is

117
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: not an apt enough description for what Josh Allen is.

118
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: Neither is a unicorn. That's an understatement. Josh Allen is

119
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: an ass kicking ninja at quarterback. That's who he is.

120
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: There is nobody else like him. He is an ass

121
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: kicking ninja, the stiff, arming defensive backs out of bounds,

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: leaping over Bobby Wagner, a three time first team All Pro,

123
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: a seventh time Pro Bowl linebacker who still runs like

124
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: a deer at age thirty two. He can't keep him

125
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: out of the end zone. Yeah, Mina kids Mena Kime's

126
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: NFL network tweeted out last night and maybe Belly laughs.

127
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: She said, you know, it really seems unfair that Buffalo

128
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: has an actual buffalo at quarterback, a guy who's actually

129
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: a big buffalo. Yeah, josh uh, And it's not. And

130
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: he did, and I think the one thing you take

131
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: aways but man, it was a lot last night. He

132
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: ran a lot. He ran more than I wanted, a

133
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: lot of punishment. There's all of that is in there,

134
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: and certainly when you get away with it, it's like

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: escaping death, you know, you kind of laugh about it later,

136
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: which is he got. He was underneath some piles last night.

137
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: It's not something you want to see. But I think

138
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: in even so, this the touchdown he goes in on

139
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: was the one that put it up twenty four to ten,

140
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: so the game was still in doubt at this point.

141
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: Um the rest of it if it was right, and

142
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: then they go up thirty one ten and then and

143
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: the route was on. But um, he as good as

144
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: he is, the team still has enough firepower around him,

145
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: and he distributes the ball enough that he doesn't have

146
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: to do that he maybe you know, once or twice

147
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: a game, and it is a double digit win. He

148
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: doesn't have to do it like nine times. He doesn't

149
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: have to do it like running for a touchdown every

150
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: third play or every third drop back. But he does

151
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: it less than a handful of times in a normal game,

152
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: and it's still a double digit win for this club,

153
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: particularly with that defensive unit playing the way it did

154
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: last night against a very good offense. Yeah. Yeah, hard

155
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: to imagine it going better. Even from the coaching standpoint.

156
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: You got guys coughing the ball up all over the place,

157
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: keeping the thing tight in the first half. I mean,

158
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: there's all there's plenty of stuff to clean up and say, hey, guys,

159
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? So even that two of

160
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: those first half turnovers were on their own half in

161
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: the field, how about that Bill's defense Yeah, for a

162
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: three touchdown game, there's a there's a lot to keep

163
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: these guys humble in there, you know what I mean. Yeah, No,

164
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you on that. And look,

165
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: Josh deserves an enormous amount of credit because there were

166
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: some plays that weren't going to work unless he extended

167
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: and made something happen. I'm still amazed that the fifty

168
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: three yard touchdown passed to Stefan Diggs was drawn up

169
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: in the dirt. It wasn't even the play that was called.

170
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: Josh takes the play from Dorsey, gets in the huddle

171
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: and tells Diggs, go run down the field as far

172
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: as you can, and Diggs listen to him, and it

173
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: reminded me of a game against Jalen Ramsey and the

174
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: Jaguars back in twenty eighteen when Josh Allen told Robert

175
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: Foster just run down the field to the twenty yard line.

176
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: I'll hitch it inside. I'll hitch you at the top

177
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: of the numbers. And Josh got his block knocked off

178
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: on the play, but it was a seventy five yard touchdown,

179
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: and Diggs pointed this out. And I still think he

180
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: is underrated in this area. Josh Allen is a quarterback savant.

181
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: He sees things out there that not every quarterback sees.

182
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: Somebody like Peyton Manning, yes, Brady probably, you know, even Rogers.

183
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: You know you're talking about high level football. IQ. Drew

184
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: Brees is another example of that. They just see little

185
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: little tells in the defense on a previous play earlier

186
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: in the game that will tell him in this down

187
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: and distant situation, I'm probably gonna have this situation. So

188
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: instead of this play call, which is that's good, right,

189
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a touchdown off of this if I

190
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: just tell Digs to do that. And that's what he did,

191
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: And when Josh talked about it after the game, he said, yeah,

192
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: I thought we could get something there because on that

193
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: alignment that they were showing us on those down and distances,

194
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: the dbs were peeking in the backfield at the quarterback

195
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: too much. So Josh figures, all right, I'll drop back

196
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: to pass and then I'll roll out and buy some time.

197
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: That'll suck the corners up because they'll think I'm taking

198
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: off again. And now I've got Diggs and I can

199
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: I just got to throw it as far as I can,

200
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: right Yeah, he was noticing the worthy eyes of the

201
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: DBS were and using it against him and anticipating it,

202
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: and that You're right, I think Josh now at this

203
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: point he and he's been there since twenty twenty. Now,

204
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: I think more so even with Dorsey now instead of

205
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: day Ball, he's got the ability to think, get out

206
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: ahead of not just recognize and understand it after it happened,

207
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: but get out ahead of it and say, Okay, here's

208
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. That's another level. Certainly. We there

209
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: was evidence of that last night. And the statistical analysis

210
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: of this game is unbelievably laughable. Yeah, and we'll talk

211
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: about this too, because I charted. We know the Bills

212
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: were nine of ten on third down conversions, which is

213
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: nuts in and of itself, but if you break it down,

214
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: it's even more impressive. Steve, their three longest plays from

215
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: scrimmage we're on third down, the fifty three yard touchdown,

216
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: the forty seven yard completion to Gabe Davis, and the

217
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: twenty six yard touchdown on third and one. Their three

218
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: longest plays came on third down. They also scored three

219
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns on third down, Josh's four yard scramble was the

220
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: other one. So their third down efficiency was at an

221
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: all time high last night. They were simply unstoppable on

222
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: third down. And that's why this team doesn't pau They

223
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: don't even get the fourth down half the time. Yeah,

224
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: they were for on fourth down and we didn't get there.

225
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just ridiculous. And you know, you can

226
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: say what you want about the turnovers, but I'm telling

227
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: you that it did not. Those the turnovers where after

228
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: they were already going to get a first down. You

229
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: know that the Mackenzie one was for a first down. Uh.

230
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: The only real turnover they had was the one where

231
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: Crowder was crossing the middle. And I thought Crowder too

232
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: a Crowder was kind of he was idling across the

233
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: middle and he wasn't coming across hard, which is probably

234
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: by design because the linebacker was zoned off underneath him.

235
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: But Hill did a nice job cut undercutting that route

236
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: and Josh put it right on his right on him

237
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: instead of out in front of Yeah, he didn't lead

238
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: him into the space and m and Crowder wasn't running

239
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: that hard at the time. And that's what you do

240
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: as a defensive back. You know you're playing that you

241
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: know when they and Josh threw it late too. It

242
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: was late. He threw it late over the middle and

243
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: when that happens, it does give the dB an opportunity

244
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: to undercut the route. And that's what happen in there.

245
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: That's probably the only mistake Josh has on the night,

246
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: like true mistake, and that's one that he'll probably be

247
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: all over himself about. The guy had five in completions,

248
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: Steve five, Like, that's insane. And how about this? You

249
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: know we started with the D line too. Matthew Stafford

250
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: dropped back to pass forty one times. He got hit

251
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: twenty two times on those forty one drop backs. That's

252
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: over fifty percent. Yea for a team that more often

253
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: than not gets the ball out quick. Yeah, I mean,

254
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: it's insane, some of these numbers. It's a it's a

255
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: crazy crazy Uh. It's a crazy game to watch and

256
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: see how the Bills came out and played and and

257
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: let me just say this, a couple of we got

258
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: a ton of stuff to talk about here, man, we

259
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: gotta get to the phone first. First thing out of

260
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: the gate I got I gotta just shake my head

261
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: and wow, Christian Benford got to start at corner for

262
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: the Bills sixth round rookie. And let me say this too,

263
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not this is nothing against Kayer Elam because

264
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: both those guys, Kayer Elan got thirty snaps of defense

265
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: on the night and Benford got thirty nine snaps. They

266
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: were rotating every two series, giving them a chance. Good

267
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: for them, because I'll say this, Kyrie, I have not

268
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: been disappointed with way kay Elam played. But it's a

269
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: testament to Christian Benford and I think it's says enormous

270
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: amounts about why this team is a destination for players

271
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: who are looking for a place to play. Christian Benford

272
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: earned the spot as a sixth round pick. They put

273
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: him in ahead of a first round draft pick. That

274
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: sends a ripple effects across the National Football League. Brandon

275
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: Bean didn't have a problem with it. McDermot didn't have

276
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: a problem with it. If you earn it, you get it.

277
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: And that's really unbelievable in today's NFL, where you think

278
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: you got these gms are worried about what they look

279
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: like and missing on a draft pick, or you know

280
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: they didn't care earned it. Guys gets it and around

281
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: the league when you're looking for a place to play.

282
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: All guys won is a place. If I earn it,

283
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't want this guy to get it because he's

284
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: making more money than me. If I earn it, I

285
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: don't want this guy to get it because of whatever reason.

286
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: If I earned it, I should get it. And that's

287
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: what they did. Christian Benford and elm both didn't even

288
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: know they were rookies, had no idea where they were

289
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: what they were doing, whether they were ten year vets

290
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: or ten week rookies. They both played very solid and

291
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: I think the B and no question they got some

292
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: help from that front front four who was really putting

293
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: pressure on him. But man, old man. Kudos to Sean McDermott,

294
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, Brandon Bean and their scouting staff. They

295
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: got a sixth round draft pick and a first round

296
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: draft pick, both playing at a high level. Not to

297
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: mention Dane Jackson having a game. I can't get over

298
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: the stones it takes to start a rookie sixth round

299
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: draft pick ahead of a number one overall pick. I'm

300
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: not saying it's not the right thing. I'm saying to

301
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: make that statement about your team and about your roster

302
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: is absolutely amazing and fantastic, especially a roster as deep

303
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: as this one. It's amazing and fantastic. And I think that,

304
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: to me was one of the one of the more

305
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: forgotten moments and forgotten things about Sean McDermott and getting

306
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: his team ready last night. It's absolutely amazing that that

307
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: happened in the NFL. Yeah, it's that. And then on

308
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: top of that, it's player development. Benford probably wasn't super

309
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: polished coming in the door back in May or mid

310
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: April or may you know, guys ready for ready to

311
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: match up with a guy who's been a number one

312
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver for a long time in this league. And

313
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson who's six four two twenty two targets, one

314
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: catch twelve yards. Yeah, and look, the pass rush certainly

315
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: helped those rookie corners, and it probably gave the defensive

316
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: staff confidence in putting those guys out on the field

317
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: and letting him sink or swim because they were going

318
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: to get support up front. I think they felt very

319
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: confident in the matchups up front, which was going to

320
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: in turn help the guys on the back end. And

321
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: you have poorer and hide back there as a safety blanket.

322
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: But those kids played well, and they deserve a pat

323
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: on the back for it. Now go out and do

324
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: it again this week. Let's go to the phones, though,

325
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: where we got people waiting patiently to weigh in on

326
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: their thoughts on the game. And first up today is

327
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: Scott and Jamestown. What do you got for a Scott?

328
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: And you're on one bills live, Christian, I'm happy to

329
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: build beat up? All right, I'm glad you're happy. Okay,

330
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: all right, I guess you just needed to hoot and

331
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: holler on the phone. That was great, um, love the energy.

332
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bob in Hamburg next. What you got

333
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: for his? Bob Guy? Where do I start? Just the

334
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: best day ever. It was just incredible to see how

335
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: ultra prepared the Bills were for the game yesterday and

336
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: any of the questions about Ken Ken Dorsey, can he

337
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: call a game? Kenny make a play? How about that? Yeah?

338
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: And he slammed at in the face the entire country

339
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: and that is just awesome. And we don't even have

340
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: Trenavious White. We're talking about all the rookies in the

341
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: they were starting in secondary and I was just watching

342
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: another guy named I don't know, Jim Rome, who said

343
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: that it was so embarrassing in LA that the Bills

344
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: mafia was so loud that the Rams had to go

345
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: on a silent count in their own stadium. And that

346
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: is just awesome. It was the most incredible thing. I mean,

347
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: I had the season tickets from nineteen eighty seven and

348
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, so I went to the heyday in

349
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: all the years and the four Super Bowl years, and

350
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: yesterday was the most. It was almost like Winny to

351
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: steer Born. And we know that yesterday wasn't our goal.

352
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: We have the whole year to go, but if this

353
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: is a start of it, had a blessed her team.

354
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: Thank you guys. All right, good call, Bob, thanks for it,

355
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Um. Let's talk about Ken Dorsey for a second. Steve,

356
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: I just recently put together a long form write up

357
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills dot Com last week on Dorsey and

358
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: how he was poised to elevate this Bill's offense higher,

359
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: which is a lofty statement. But the reason I titled

360
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: that right up as I did was because everybody I

361
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: spoke to in his past, going all the way from

362
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: Butch Davis at the University of Miami to Derek Anderson,

363
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: who was his teammate in the league and then was

364
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: coached by him in Carolina. To NFL executives, etc. Etc.

365
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: There was not one person that just said, well, let's

366
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: wait and see. There was resolute confidence that who he

367
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: was as a player, along with his ultra competitive and

368
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: aggressive nature and mind for football, was going to not

369
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: only keep this offense on track, but maybe take it

370
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: to another level. Now, we only have one game as

371
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: an example, and I'm sure there are going to be

372
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: weeks where it doesn't look this good and he has

373
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: the all time equalizer and Josh Allen, but Ken Dorsey

374
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: was more than ready for this. And I mean the

375
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: third and one call. That was a play they had

376
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: been working on in practice because based on what they

377
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: had deciphered from rams film, they thought in a situation

378
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: like that they could get a good bite on a

379
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: play fake and holy cow, I mean, Gabe Davis could

380
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: have sat down and caught the ball, then got up

381
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: and still made it to the end zone. Yeah, and

382
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: you knew this too, Josh coming out of there. We

383
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: saw this. We've seen Josh's entire career. If Ramsey sticks

384
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: with Gabe Davis on the boot, Josh gets the first

385
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: down anyway, because there's like fifteen yards of open space

386
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: and one guy out there coming down the line, the linebacker.

387
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: If Ramsey drops back and takes Davis, there's nobody out there,

388
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: and he runs up the sidelines for eight or nine,

389
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: ten or maybe all the way for a touchdown. I mean,

390
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: that's it was a great play call. They overstacked the line.

391
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown, right tackle, went all the way over and

392
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: played outside left tackle Dion Dawkins, and then they had

393
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: a tight end outside of him and Dawson Knox on

394
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: the end of the line of scrimmage as a tackle

395
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: alignment on the right side outside the guard bates. So

396
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: they were they were, they were unbalanced to the left,

397
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 1: bootlegged out to the right. Nobody was over there, nobody

398
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: home touchdown. It was a masterful call. And you're right.

399
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: If this would had been an interview to see whether

400
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey could be an offensive coordinator, he aced it.

401
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean he knocked at the interview out of the park.

402
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: He walked out with a job offer. I mean that

403
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: you couldn't you couldn't do any better than he did

404
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: last night. I don't know, because the internet is undefeated.

405
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you saw this tweet. But last

406
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: night somebody put up a photo of Dorsey in a

407
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: Bill's cap walking through the bowels of the stadium and

408
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: the tweet said wanted for murder in LA Let's say

409
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: absolutely killed the rams with his blake calling. Yeah, oh

410
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: my gosh, people are so funny. Yeah, let's get back

411
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: to the phones though, and we go to Eric in Florida.

412
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Eric? Here on one

413
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Hey, Chris um Haste, just wanted to talk

414
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: about the you know, your corner back to the rookie corners. Yeah,

415
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: and you know, we know Sean likes to motivate and

416
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: he likes guys. Brennan Bean loved guys with a chip

417
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: on their shoulder. How big of a ship did they

418
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: just create with kayre Elam by starting a sixth round

419
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: rookie ahead of him, it's going to motivate him to

420
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: go harder, faster, stronger and be the best corner he

421
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: can be to get the most out of that guy. Yeah. Absolutely,

422
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: And it's been said too reported that kayr Elam and

423
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Benford are real close now they become real close buddies

424
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: because they're trying to endure all this together, and to

425
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: have them split reps the way they did last night,

426
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: thirty for Elam, thirty nine for Benford really is going

427
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: to make him not only more competitive, but also bring

428
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: him closer together because they're gonna have conversations about what

429
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: they saw when you were in there, what they did

430
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: when I was in there. I really envy that for

431
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: the two of them to go through this together as

432
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: closely as they are. But that's another example of the

433
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: scene that the coaching staff sets for young players. There

434
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: are some teams in this league where the coaching staff

435
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: will just say, well, it's you against him, May the

436
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 1: best man win. That's not the approach that the coaching

437
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: staff takes here. They look at those two guys and say, look,

438
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: you're in this together. You can either raise the level

439
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: of each other's play or you can drag each other down.

440
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: So decide what you want to do. But there is

441
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: not I'm trying to figure out the best way to

442
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: frame this. They do not promote elevating yourself by tearing

443
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: somebody else down. It's a collective, you know, rising tide

444
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: raises all boats kind of thing. And these two young

445
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: players not to mention the fact that they draft guys

446
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: who will adopt that kind of approach, high character people,

447
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, team concept, all of that. These

448
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: guys are in it together, and because they're working together,

449
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: they're helping each other get better faster with the help

450
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: of the coaching. It's hard for people who haven't been

451
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: involved in team sports or in sort of a team

452
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: lifestyle like football, like guys like me and you were

453
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: that way in competitive soccer. People who take part in

454
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: team sports and team building exercises who don't do that,

455
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: they have a hard time getting around their head around

456
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: the fact that Kayer Elam is probably Christian Benford's biggest

457
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: fan and vice versa. That's the atmosphere that is inside

458
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: the room. It is us against them, not me against you.

459
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: It's us against them. And if I can help you

460
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: help us win, I will do that. And if you

461
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: can help me help us win, you will do it too.

462
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: And there's a huge mutual trust and encouragement atmosphere between

463
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: players and between position group, between both sides of the ball,

464
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: between coaches. It's an environment that is fostered and cultivated

465
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: by the head coach and the elite and the player

466
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: leadership and the coaching staff, the veteran players, and what

467
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: these players bring to the table from the lower levels

468
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: of football. They've even youth football begins to indoctrinate kids

469
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: into an unselfish, I am for you mentality, and that's

470
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: one of the great gift and I've said it to

471
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: youth football progress, moms and dads and people at large

472
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: when I speak, is that it is one of the

473
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: great gifts that football gives to young people. Certainly, there's

474
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: a physical risk of playing football because it is a

475
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: rough and tumble sport, even at the youth age, but

476
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: it does teach them invaluable lessons that nothing else can,

477
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: that nothing else can, and it's it's worth it for

478
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: most of these guys, and you see it as they

479
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: grow to be men, and even guys who quit playing

480
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: at after college or even high school, they'll take lessons

481
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: they've learned from it into their life going forward. And

482
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: at this level, I think most people and the media

483
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: is notorious for this. They can't get their head around

484
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Garoppolo staying on the forty nine ers and

485
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: cheering they picked person, They picked one player against another,

486
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: and it's just not that way in the locker room

487
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: and that's white. A lot of people can't get their

488
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: head around the relationships these guys have. We have to

489
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: take a break here. When we come back, we will

490
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: get to more of your phone calls, your takeaways from

491
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: the season opening domination by the Bills over the defending

492
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs. We also have to go around the

493
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: locker room. We'll do that next here on One Bill's Live,

494
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: presented by Collot of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

495
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. It is time to

496
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: go around the locker room, and we begin with the

497
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: man who had a pretty impressive debut as a Buffalo

498
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: Bill von Miller, who had two sacks in the game,

499
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: along with a few quarterback hits, kind of led the

500
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: charge set the tone for the Bill's pass rush. On

501
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: the evening, here is Vaughan on the defensive performance against

502
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 1: the Rams. We got a great unit, and we got

503
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: we got great We got a great coaching staff, as

504
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: will Um, coach Frasier, you know, Coach Washington. They do

505
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: a good job getting us ready to go. Coach Coach

506
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: Washington did a great job with the de line. I

507
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: think everybody on de line had a sack today. And interceptions.

508
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, coach Coach Washington did a great job of

509
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: having us ready to go today and you know the

510
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: players came out and play today as will. So it

511
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,239
Speaker 1: was it was a great day. It always feels good

512
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: to go out there and do your job, Urge. But

513
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: when you have everybody on that defensive front contributing the

514
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: way that they did, not only just taking them down,

515
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: but I think they hit staff with like fifteen times

516
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: tonight in addition to the sacks, Like how unstoppable do

517
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: you guys feel as a fun when everybody's eating Oh yeah,

518

Speaker 1: gotta we got a big Monday night game coming up

531
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: against Tennessee Titans. I can report the plane was not

532
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: doing any black flips last night, thankfully. Um, So there's that.

533
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: But they were, uh, they were jubilant for probably like

534
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: the first ten minutes of the flight last night, and

535
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: then it was pretty calm after that because people were

536
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: sacking out. It was late. Yeah, you guys landed like

537
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: six fifteen. I saw the morning. I saw the twitter.

538
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: The sun was coming up with if you walked out,

539
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: It's the first time I've ever come off a plane

540
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: with the sun coming out. Oh yeah, that's the first

541
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: time that's ever happened. Happened to me before. Um yeah,

542
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: that was Yeah, that stinks. I'll be feeling that tonight

543
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: or tomorrow for sure. Uh. Micah Hyde, who was kind

544
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: of leading the defensive backfield, helping out those two rookie corners,

545
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: just reassuring them what they were seeing was what he

546
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: was seeing. Stuff like that. Um. He commented on the

547
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: play of the defensive line, which, as Jordan Poyer ad

548
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: had made their life on the back end a whole

549
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: lot easier. Here's Mica. It's eventually gonna get tipped or

550
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: overthrows them when the when the friends getting after it.

551
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: And you know they've they've already been doing it all

552
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: since the beginning of the training camp, so we know

553
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: what they're about. Um, they preach you every single day.

554
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: And like Post said, I haven't got like Vaughan in

555
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: there giving them boys the confidence. And you know he

556
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: mentioned some guys throwing ed throwing aj Epanessa. I think

557
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: you said book just just the young guys coming alive

558
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: and it's awesome. Disease. What can we say about that, Steve,

559
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: We really haven't touched on that. The yell yeah defensive ends.

560
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau flashes with a sack and a couple of

561
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: quarterback hits, boogie bash him, tips, a pass to himself, intercepts.

562
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: It also had a sack and aj Epanessa one sack

563
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: and four quarterback hit. One and a half sacks, four

564
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: quarterback hits. I mean, those three guys, if they come

565
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: of age, combined with the veterans on the interior and

566
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: Von Miller, holy crap, Like there's not gonna be an

567
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: answer for that. It's just coming at you in waves.

568
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: It's like a tsunami. Yeah, hopefully that's it. Yeah. I

569
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: mean that's because it's interesting too. I was very keen

570
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: to watch what the Rams were doing last night, and

571
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: they there was a couple of occasions where Aaron Donald

572
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: came off the field because there was a long drive

573
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: or whatever. They pulled him off the field. I thought, well,

574
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: now if he's off the field, now go deep because

575
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: you don't have time. Yeah, now you got a chance

576
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: to drop back and do something. And I know for

577
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: sure the Bills are very aware when he's not on

578
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: the field. And I can't remember what exactly happened, but

579
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: I was like, you got to take advantage of that.

580
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: He is that big a difference maker. The guy's unbelievable.

581
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: But the Rams don't do what the Bills did. They've

582
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: got the same guys out there, a ton the Bills.

583
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: They're ruling guys through and they were at the at

584
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: the as the game wore down and got deeper into

585
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: the second half, the Bills guys are running out there

586
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: like it's like it's pregame warm ups and the jet

587
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: and the Ram offensive lineman or you know, they're gassed.

588
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: It just makes a huge difference. Laid in games, and

589
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: certainly last night is that game. War on Matt. Stafford

590
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: was like, man, just give me, give me a minute. Here.

591
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: He was getting whacked. They threw at forty times and

592
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: more than half the times he dropped back. He was

593
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: getting forty one pass attempts, seven sacks, fifteen quarterback hits.

594
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: That's twenty two of his forty one pass attempts he

595
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: got hit. That's why you saw the last throw when

596
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: he so I think it was either I think it

597
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: was epinessa coming off the corner right and he and

598
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: Stafford sees him and he knows he's gonna get hit,

599
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: and he's like, screw it, I'm just throwing this. And

600
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: that turned into the Poyer interception because he was tired

601
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: of getting pummeled. Right, So, quarterbacks have breaking points. These

602
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: are huge, humongous human beings rushing at them with a

603
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: force that could probably go put them through a wall. Yeah,

604
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: and after a while, you're tired of getting hit, and

605
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: so you just say, screw it, I'm just gonna throw it.

606
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: If we complete it, we do. He had three interceptions. Right,

607
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: You get tired of getting hit. Those are huge human beings.

608
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: He started to get a little skittish, and he had

609
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: He was second in the league in interceptions last year,

610
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: so he slings it anyway, and that's what led to

611
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: the two interceptions by the Bills or three. So yeah,

612
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: it started to wear on him. No quick should see it.

613
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: I mean just being there in the stadium watching his

614
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: body language coming off the field after a series when

615
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: they had to punt. I mean, he wasn't hanging his head,

616
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: but it was just kind of this slack shouldered demeanor

617
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: where it was just like I am exhausted. One of

618
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: the cool things about you know, you always worry because

619
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: you know that's the way football is. The Bill's offense

620
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: goes down, has a great series and is looking really good.

621
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: Even if they turned it over. They were like, oh man,

622
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: they weren't stopping as we were going, or they scored.

623
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: They're scoring a touchdown or a field goal, and in

624
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: the second half you're thinking that and then all you

625
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: remember seeing is, man, it wasn't just fourth and a

626
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: half yard, it was it was fourth and five. They

627
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: ain't going for it. Yeah, they were punting it away

628
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: all too often for the Rams and Stafford walking off

629
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: unstrapping his chin strap is kind of the enduring vision

630
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: I have of their offense. They were off the field.

631
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: That's huge, it was, and it had a psychological effect

632
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: on that Rams offense because by the time they got

633
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: midway through the third quarter, they knew it just wasn't

634
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: gonna happen last night. They they just knew it. When

635
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: we can't do anything. When Diggs catches the fifty three

636
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: yard or from Josh Allen stumbles into the end zone

637
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: because he has to wait on the throw because you know,

638
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: it was like, wait a minute, that's thirty one. Yeah,

639
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: they there's not enough time left in this game. Yeah,

640
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: because they still have to stop the Bills and keep

641
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: him from getting first downs to get the ball back

642
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: and keep them off the board. Yeah. Yeah, it got ugly.

643
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: Let's wrap up around the locker room with Josh Allen,

644
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: who addressed the offensive performance against the Rams after overcoming

645
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: those three first half turnovers. I actually was happy at

646
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: halftime three turnovers and going in ten to ten, zero zero.

647
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: You know that that gave us all the confidence in

648
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: the world, our defense being able to back us up,

649
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: and you know, we heard ourselves a lot in that

650
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: first half. There's a lot to learn from um, you know,

651
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: but that second half. That's that's who we want to be,

652
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, going out there and executing the way you

653
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: know we expect ourselves to execute. Um I thought coach Dorsey,

654
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, called a heck of a game. It's his

655
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: first live you know action. Um So, I'm proud of

656
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: him for for handling the situations how we did. But again,

657
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: we were ninety up there down like that's that's a

658
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: recipe for success. And again four tonervers that's way too many.

659
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: Um So, we we've got a lot to clean up.

660
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: But like ang And said, we'll celebrate this one. It's

661
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: hard to winless league, especially against good teams, and that's

662
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: a really good team we just played. So that's around

663
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: the Locker Room, presented by Connect Live, Connect Life, your

664
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: Blood and organ donor Network. Let's get back to the

665
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: phones to get your takeaways from the season opening domination

666
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: of the Rams by your Buffalo Bills. We go to

667
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: Jeremy in Chicago. Next. What you got first, Jeremy, it's

668
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: long long time Bill send Steve. I got the opportunity

669
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: to meet you this summer when I came in for

670
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly's football camps. So that was really nice. I

671
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: want to compare how it feels the nineties team and

672
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: how you guys took those step step steps and then

673
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: you were so dominant, and the comparison to this team.

674
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: And I saw Darryl Talley tweeted something, you know, Cornelius

675
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: Bennett when he hit the team, it's just like von

676
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: Miller and how I want to just kind of hear

677
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: your opinion on that. Bull Belser. Yeah, Now, certainly they're

678
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: playing we were playing this. It's a different It was

679
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: a different game within the NFL. I mean, we played

680
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 1: a different style and everybody was different in the nineties

681
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: than it is now, much like it's different in the

682
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: nineties than it was in the sixties. The game has

683
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: evolved thirty years down the road or thirty five years

684
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: down the road from the nineties, So there's that, but

685
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: it's still football, and there are a lot of similarities.

686
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: And you look at what happened to the Bills in

687
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: losing an AFC championship game and then struggling in eighty

688
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: nine to the bickering Bills and then coming back and

689
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: kind of putting it together. There are some parallels, not

690
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: only with the Trials at this two this team current

691
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: team is gone through and is going through, plus the

692
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: pieces that they've brought in. No question, Von Miller and

693
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: Cornelis Bennett was that caliber of player. Although he was

694
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: more unproven than Vaughan. He was a rookie when he

695
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: hit our when he hit our team, he was a

696
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: difference maker. Yeah, you guys saw it in the first game.

697
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: We saw in the first practice. Um, that guy, that

698
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: guy was Yeah, that guy was different, and so's Vaughan.

699
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: Now Vaughn seen Vaughan Miller. You know for a decade

700
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: with other teams. He's won a couple of Super Bowls

701
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: And we had no idea what to expect from Cornelius Bennett.

702
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: But there, Yeah, that was similar impact, similar impact, Cornelius Ben.

703
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: You throw him on the field opposite Bruce Smith or

704
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: on the outside is Bruce Smith, and it's it's all

705
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: hands on deck. Offensively, you got to get the ball

706
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: out of the guy's hands. So, um, there is a

707
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 1: lot of parallels there. This team is playing and has

708
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: played for and I keep saying three since twenty twenty,

709
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: this team has been elite and for a while it

710
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: was carried by the offense in twenty twenty and then

711
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: then last this year, the defense was number one overall

712
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: and was you know, pitching shutouts in the first month

713
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: of the season a lot like this one is this year.

714
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: But now they're forced to be reckoned with And you know,

715
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: the big challenge now for Sean McDermot and the coaching

716
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: staff is is keeping on keeping on kids on the tracks.

717
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: It's hard to play this good of football for four

718
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: straight months. You got nineteen more games. If this keeps going,

719
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: it's nineteen more games. If you get the one seed

720
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: in the bye week, it's it's nineteen more games that

721
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: they got to keep this going. It's a long long time.

722
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: It'll see, it'll seem like a heartbeat when we get

723
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: to the end of it because it'll happen so fast.

724
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,959
Speaker 1: But you got to keep this level of play for

725
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: four months, four plus months, and it's hard to do.

726
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: It's hard to do. And you know, today after an

727
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: opening day crushing of the World champions, that seems to

728
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: be the challenge, right Yeah. Yeah, But you know, as

729
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: I said earlier in the week, all those playoff losses

730
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: these last few years, they're scars. Yeah, there are lessons

731
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: in them, their heart and I think it is a

732
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: driving force that will keep this team on the tracks

733
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: for the majority of the season. Let's quickly sweeze in,

734
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: Jim and only in here before we go to break.

735
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: What do you got for us, Jim? Well, last night's game, guys,

736
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: it was just like waking up a Christmas Day as

737
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: a young child and finding all your wishlift gifts under

738
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: the tree. I mean, I mean, the defense was what

739
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: it's been vaunted to be. Von Miller is just scary.

740
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: He's another creature. I mean him and Josh Allen are

741
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: both creatures and I don't know it just the only

742
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: thing that will stop the Bills. As if you know,

743
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen never gets injured us. He is the next

744
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: quarterback of the He's a generational quarterback. He's fun to watch.

745
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: The two plays that really made me smile last night

746
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: was his touchdown pass to Digs and then that's stiff

747
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: armed that he gave that guy. I mean, he's just unreal.

748
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: He's scary. He is down right scary. That's why at

749
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: the top of the show I called him and asked,

750
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: kicking Ninja. You can't call him a unicorn, you can't

751
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: call him a freaking nature. I don't even think a

752
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: creature does him justice. The guy is like a ninja

753
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: at quarterback and he's kicking rear end and taking names. Yeah,

754
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: I mean he is just there's there's nobody like him.

755
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Like people can talk about Cam Newton, cam

756
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: Newton ever threw with the accuracy of Josh Hallett. You

757
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: can talk about Lamar Jackson being a better runner than him. Okay,

758
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: and I'll sign up for that. But better complete package

759
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: quarterback in a giant body. There's nobody else. There's nobody else.

760
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, and there's we can go down this

761
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: rabbit hole all we want. But when you look back

762
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: at what Josh is and what he's become, you and

763
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: I had these conversations there and and certainly he was

764
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: polarizing there. People say he's never going to be that guy.

765
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: But when he started for the Bills his second the

766
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: second game of his rookie season and struggled and was

767
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: there was never that conversation about, man, we got to

768
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: get that guy off the field, that it was time

769
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: to switch out quarterback. He was there and we knew

770
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: he was gonna struggle, and he played bad. He did

771
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: good things, bad things, made mistakes. There was never that

772
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: conversation about, well, how long is it gonna be, you know,

773
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: how long they gonna give this guy to fail. There

774
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: was never that conversation. Certainly we knew he's got to

775
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: play better and all that, but he kept getting better

776
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: and better. There was never this thing like, wow, he's

777
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: he still he still stinks. There was never that conversation.

778
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: And that's with these young quarterbacks. Of the difference I

779
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: think between Josh and you know, the Zach Wilson's of

780
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: the world and all these other guys. There's never been

781
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: that conversation with Josh about going, well, we need to

782
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: keep looking. Never, for a moment did we get to

783
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: that point in the conversation. Now, there was a points

784
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: where it took him a while to get to twenty

785
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: twenty when he was like, oh my gosh, look at

786
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: this guy. There were moments where it was like, you know,

787
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 1: he didn't look great, But there was never that conversation

788
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: about this time, let's start thinking about whether he's the

789
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: guy or not. There was never that conversation. And that's

790
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: the difference I think in Josh and the young guys

791
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: that people are so keen to compare to him. Break

792
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: time for us here. When we come back, we'll be

793
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 1: bringing you the triple red sevens Hottest Plays of the game.

794
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: Can you guess what they were? Find out next here

795
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. It's

796
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:50,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bills Live.

797
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: Time now for the Triple Red sevens Hottest Plays of

798
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: the Game, presented by New York Lottery. And we begin

799
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: with the third and one at the Rams twenty six

800
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: yard line and a play action fake, absolutely brilliant play

801
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: called by Ken Dorsey and Josh Allen over unbalanced line

802
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: to the left, comes back to the right, dig standing

803
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: by himself, Davis standing all by himself, Josh Allen just

804
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: loops it up. There couldn't have been an easier throw

805
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: and catch. Touched down to start the game, Gabe Davis

806
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: trotting in untouched. Then you come back to the second

807
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: of the of the series, Von Miller coming off the edge. Yeah, so,

808
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this was probably his best sack in the night.

809
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: He had two and a couple other quarterback hits, but

810
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: he just ducks the shoulder. He ducks the shoulder off

811
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: the tight end at the line of scrimmage. Then ducks,

812
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: he tight end, gets two hands on him. Then he

813
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: does the exact same thing to the left tackle Joga boom,

814
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: and then comes right off on Stafford. The one thing

815
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: about it is I think about Miller and the great

816
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: sack artist. Bruce was like this, Reggie White was like this.

817
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, JJ Watt was like this, t J. Watts.

818
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: When they get back there, they don't with on the tackle,

819
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: they get the guy on the ground. And that's what

820
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: Von did twice last night. The third hottest play the

821
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: Digs touchdown for fifty three yards, the one drawn up

822
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: in the dirt by Josh Allen. And this is Josh

823
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: Allen's showing not only his physical abilities running out here

824
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: and hitting this, also his mental capacity to know this

825
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: is what he was gonna get and he's gonna have

826
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: a shot at it. And I don't think Aaron Donald

827
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: was on the field for that play time to throw

828
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: roll out fifty three yards touchdown. Those are the Triple

829
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: Red sevens Hottest Plays of the Game, presented by the

830
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: New York Lottery. Okay, we got a little bit of

831
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: time to get a phone call in here, because we

832
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: know we got a lot of people on hold, so

833
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to Teddy and Buffalo real quick. What you

834
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: got for us, Tedday, Thank you all foos for taking

835
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: my call. I want to say, Buffalo Strong, Buffalo Love

836
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: recipes to the Falling Amen. Yesterday was a joyful Bills Mafia,

837
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: but it was like a relief for Western York because

838
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, we know how tough it is taking losses

839
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: around here. I want to give a shout out to

840
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: the semi pro football team SECU Strong for winning the

841
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: Semi Pro Football National Championship in Vegas. Them boys or

842
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: some dogs, but for the game, we just showed pure dominance.

843
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,959
Speaker 1: And I really think we're just knocking the rust off,

844
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, and we saw the game and the stats

845
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: don't lie, so I believe we just getting getting started.

846
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: Blessing to your guys, Blessing the mafia, Blessing to the

847
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: city one love go Bills, thanks for And he's right

848
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: about the number, Steve. I mean, the Rams had one

849
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: hundred and six yards in the first half. They had

850
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty seven in the second half, and

851
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: that was a lot of garbage yardage the last six

852
00:47:55,400 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: minutes of the game, where even Sean McDermott said that

853
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: once it went thirty one ten. He told his team clock,

854
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: not yards, run clock, give up yardage, keep them in bounds,

855
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So they were giving them yardage

856
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: and they still only had one thirty seven in the

857
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: entire second half. Did you see the average yards per

858
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: play seven point one for the Bills, three point seven

859
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: for the Rams. I mean that is the most accurate

860
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: description of how this game went. Absolutely and he and

861
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: Teddy's right. I mean, they did dominate. And the thing

862
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: about it is, now, you know they are just knocking

863
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: the rust off. They probably didn't feel like they were

864
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: one hundred scary. And I think two they've got another.

865
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: They've got another gear two left in him. But the

866
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: simple fact of the matter is it's a long, long season.

867
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: They got a long way to go. They've got to

868
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: continue to play at this level. But I think rather

869
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: than worry about whether they can keep this up, I

870
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: think from the from the locker room side of it

871
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: coming out, you got to think, like this, let's just

872
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: be us. And I think that it's a hard thing

873
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 1: to know, but this team is there. We don't have

874
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: to do anything special to win. We just have to

875
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: be us because we are special. Just be us. We

876
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 1: don't have to go out, we don't have to try

877
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: to make these outlandish players. Just be us and don't

878
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: beat ourselves. They started to do in the first half

879
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: there with the three first half turner the only thing

880
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: that stopped the Bills in the first half of the

881
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: Bills Oh absolutely, yeah. That's yeah. That And as the

882
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: last four or five games they've played, that's been the story.

883
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: And I've said this too. Think about Ken Dorsey coming

884
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: in and taking over this offense. We saw what it

885
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 1: was at the end of last season. If he comes

886
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: in and hits a home run and is unbelievable, it's

887
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna look like that. They like it already has, so

888
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how much credit he's gonna get for

889
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: taking this thing to another level. Although the play calling

890
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: last night, we all it was masterful, but the execution

891
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: was there, and you can draw a play up, you know,

892
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: a sixth grader could draw a play up in the dirt,

893
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: and if you execute it exactly right, it's gonna work. Um,

894
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 1: But man oh man, they're hitting on all cylinders at

895
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: times last night, and that's you know, that's where you

896
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: gotta feel like your starting point is now the standard

897
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: has been set and the challenges to live up to

898
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: it each and every week, and not only each and

899
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: every week, but every every day. Every day you got

900
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: to come in and they're you know, they get to

901
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: day off, they get to day off. You have to

902
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: come into work, Brownie. Sure, but they're gonna come back

903
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 1: and they got to They got to maintain the standard.

904
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: That's to me, that's the only thing you gotta think

905
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: about today. I mean, because they came out aside from

906
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: at Oliver Nixon, you know, shaving nicks and at Oliver's

907
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: twisted ankle. But man, they just they just gotta keep

908
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: on keeping on and that's a long season to do

909
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: that at that level. Yeah, like I was saying earlier,

910
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: just keep the thing on the tracks. Yeah, and it'll

911
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: be rolling down he'll fall off, It'll be rolling downhill

912
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: pretty fast. We have to take a break here because

913
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: when we come back, our colleague Maddie Glad will be

914
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: joining us. You know what she does after every victory,

931
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,759

932
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,160

933
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,960

935
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: like there's no angs. Let me just say, you know

936
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: what I mean? This weekend is lining up like a

937
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: bender for the old Bay on the desk, what's going on?

938
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I'm a little punchy over here, right,

939
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: It's not from any of the adult it's not I'm

940
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: not listen. I know it's not just me. So don't

941
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: get out there and say, I know they're people out

942
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: there watching the no same way like Maddie. It's true

943
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: this right, Oh my god, Steve's gotten an early start.

944
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: But that's what happens when none of us skin no sleep,

945
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: especially you, Brownie. Okay, so let's begin, let's get to

946
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: I mean, we're here for the Maddie Awards. Let's and

947
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that this one's batting lead off your

948
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: bad Man Award. Bad Man Award that goes to Joshua

949
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: Allen himself. I mean, the eighty three point nine percent

950
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 1: completion percentage that's a single game club record for the Bills,

951
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 1: a career high for him. Goes ten out of ten

952
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: to start the game. Not a bad start at all.

953
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: Led the team in rushing yards. We saw that angry, angry,

954
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: stiff arm, and then we saw him have a rushing

955
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: touchdown where he basically takes off from the free throw

956
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: line and jumps over Bobby Wagner of all defensive players

957
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, he was unstoppable. I love how he

958
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: took what the defense gave him, started off with some

959
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 1: shorter completions, which then opened up the field for him

960
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: to have some of those bigger completions to guys like

961
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis and Stefan Diggs. He was able to put

962
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: those interceptions in the rearview mirror and just keep on

963
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: keeping on. I don't know if a younger Josh Allen

964
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: could have done that, but a fifth year Josh Allen

965
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 1: can definitely do that. Not met any offenses can turn

966
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: the ball over four times, score thirty one points, convert

967
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: ninety percent of their third downs, and total over four

968
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: hundred yards of three touchdown and one by three touchdowns.

969
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: I guess the defending world champions Yeah, it is crazy.

970
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: They hang they hung the bunt banner last night. They

971
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: hang their World championship banner last night in that building,

972
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: and they get lumped up by the crew showing up

973
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: from Buffalo. And with the numbers that you just said,

974
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: it was Josh Alens got that dog in New was

975
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: two good football teams. Even sitting back objectively speaking, not

976
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: just the fact that you know, all of us kind

977
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: of have a little skin in this game because of

978
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 1: what we do. And you know, that game was really surprising. Yeah,

979
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: the Bills were in a different class. Really surprised. Those

980
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: are in a different class in that game last night.

981
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Rams will rebound. Yeah, I'm sure they

982
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: will be a winning football and it is one and

983
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: they'll probably even make the playoffs. But i mean, Week one,

984
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: you you're you're just guessing, You're hoping, you're wishing, You're willing,

985
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: you're wanting. There was so much expectation for the Buffalo

986
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: Bills and the Rams to start off this week one

987
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: game on a huge, huge stage, two great teams, and

988
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills exceeded expectations. They lived up to all

989
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: the hype for sure. Okay, so knockout performance. You probably

990
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of candidates here, so I'm not surprised.

991
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: This is a group of war. This is a group

992
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: effort by the Bills defensive line. I mean seven sacks

993
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: by the defensive line themselves. It's the most in a

994
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 1: season opener for the Buffalo Bills. I love that aj

995
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: Epanessa got involved, Boogie Basham got involved, Greg Russo got involved.

996
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: That's really big for their development. This is the year

997
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: we need to see stuff out of these younger defensive

998
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: linemen that they spent some draft picks on it, and

999
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: we saw that tonight and it was in part thanks

1000
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: to von Miller and what he was able to add

1001
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: to the defensive line as a whole. But to be

1002
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,959
Speaker 1: able to get the pressure with just four is so

1003
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: important to what the Bills have been building toward and

1004
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: working on really the last couple of years, and it

1005
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 1: really allowed the back end of their defense to play

1006
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: free and have some fun. This is how you help

1007
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: out the rookie corners and Christian Benford and Kayer Elam

1008
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: by having your defensive line do this. I know Cup

1009
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: had over one hundred receiving yards, but all the other

1010
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: receivers were held to under forty receiving yards, allowing fifty

1011
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: two rushing yards to a team that claims themselves as

1012
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: a balanced offense that's also on the defensive line. Yeah,

1013
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips was a man possessed last night. He was

1014
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: so dominant Leslie Fraser and Eric Washington. They put him

1015
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: at defensive end on like three or four snaps. Three

1016
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,439
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pound man at defensive end. Steve he

1017
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: is his end is a freak of nature thing about him.

1018
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: His energy is really really big for this team down inside,

1019
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: his energy, his voice, his attitude, his just all of

1020
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: that and it came through big time as a huge

1021
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: help to this off, to this defense in their pass rush.

1022
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: It's good to have Jordan Phillips back on the rock.

1023
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: I was really happy too for a j Epenessa. That's

1024
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: a guy that in his first two seasons has been

1025
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: doubted by more than his fair share of fans. Hey

1026
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: is this guy gonna do it? He's too heavy, he's

1027
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: too light, he can't rush the passer. He's just a power,

1028
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: speed to power guy. All he did was knocked too

1029
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: out of a game last year. It's the only thing

1030
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: he's ever done as a bill. One and a half sacks,

1031
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: four quarterback hits. Last night he led the team and

1032
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: quarterback hits. He had a game. I was happy for him.

1033
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah too. A lot of work in Okay. Next up,

1034
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: we've got the game changer. Game changer. We talked about

1035
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: him already just a little bit, but Von Miller is

1036
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: our game changer of the night for me. I mean,

1037
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: we felt the effect of von Miller last night. Two sacks,

1038
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: for him. It did not take long for him to

1039
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: get involved and sack his old teammate and Matthew Stafford.

1040
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: He's the game changer because of how he elevated the

1041
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: play of the defensive line and the defense as a whole.

1042
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: The Bills didn't need him as a closer last night.

1043
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: They will in the future and games that are close

1044
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: in the third and the four quarter, but he really

1045
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: set the tone and the pace for how the defense

1046
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: needed to play from the jump. He played in fifty

1047
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: two percent of the snaps last night. It'll be interesting

1048
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: to see where that number fluctuates or if it stays

1049
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: like that going forward. But this is what the Bills

1050
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: needed out of him. This is what they needed out

1051
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: of him on the defensive line, and he definitely showed

1052
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: up and did not disappoint. You know, we talk about,

1053
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, him being a finisher when the game needs

1054
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: to be closed out and the game needs to be

1055
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, you need that play defensively to get that

1056
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: team off the field and in the game. But I

1057
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: think more importantly than that last night was the spark

1058
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the tone. He set the tone,

1059
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: got the first sack, and it was I think that

1060
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,439
Speaker 1: was what really settled this team in and said, wow,

1061
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: we do have that guy. He is that good. Let's go.

1062
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: And I think the rest of the guys on the

1063
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: D line and the defense and even on the offensive side,

1064
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: you're sitting out there looking it's like it's a we

1065
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: are that. That is a let's go. This is the thing. Now, Yeah,

1066
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: the defense has a Josh Allen type play. It's true. Yeah,

1067
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: that's true. That's what it is. Good point. You have

1068
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on offense and you have a Josh Allen

1069
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: caliber player on defense. Now that's difference. And that's true.

1070
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: And that's but that spark I thought, and for as

1071
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: much as we need Von Miller and Laden games to

1072
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: close it, and that's been what we've been talking about

1073
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: in the offseason. That's even what you know, the old

1074
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the Five Presidents Tech sloop has been I think more

1075
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: so than anything, you know, with all the unknowns and

1076
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: all the uncertainty, and can we handle these expectations, can

1077
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: we really show up and play well? Von Miller starting

1078
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: off like that just you know, broke the damn right

1079
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: and all that and all of it came out madam, Sorry,

1080
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: we don't have a larger budget to like shoot fireballs

1081
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: across the screen here, but here is your fire Connection Award.

1082
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: Fire Connection Award. That's gotta be Stefan Diggs. Last night,

1083
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: he had a night goes over one hundred receiving yards.

1084
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: We were all kind of wondering, what is this gonna

1085
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: look like with him going up against Jalen Ramsey, and

1086
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey was no problem at all for steff On Diggs.

1087
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I love that fifty three yard touchdown catch. Jalen Ramsey

1088
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: just got lost in the sauce and really had no

1089
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: chance against Stefon Diggs. The connection, the chemistry between him

1090
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen has just kept growing and growing after

1091
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: every year. So much fun to watch him on the

1092
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: field last night, even trash talking Jalen Ramsey. I loved

1093
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: every second of him. Yeah, and you know, let's not

1094
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: forget I know Josh doesn't that Jalen Ramsey called Josh

1095
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Allen a trash quarterback. And Josh Allen is now three

1096
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: and zero against Jalen Ramsey teams head to head, eleven

1097
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: total touchdowns, seventy percent completion raid No big deal. I

1098
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: mean come out, eight passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns. Put

1099
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: that in your pipe and smoke it, you know what

1100
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean? Like enough with it already. He's just got

1101
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: to shut up, is what he's got to do. Yeah,

1102
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: and there's one more we I don't want to skip

1103
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: this one. The Mass Award. Yeah, mastermind, that's going to

1104
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: our defensive coordinator and Leslie Frasier. There's not too many

1105
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: coaches or defensive coordinators in the NFL that can feel

1106
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: confident about going into a game with the game plan

1107
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: saying we're not going to blitz at all, and I

1108
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: feel very confident in our ability to get the job done.

1109
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: They did exactly that. This was coach Fraser's third game

1110
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: where he didn't blitz at all. He's done it twice

1111
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs. They did have some success

1112
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: doing that, but had a lot of success not blitzing

1113
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: last night. I think a big factor, of course, is

1114
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: von Miller getting that pressure from the front four, trusting

1115
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: his rookies, opposite of Dane Jackson being confident in Christian

1116
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Benford going out there and doing the job, and then

1117
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: rotating Kayer Elam as well. I mean, they held their

1118
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: own out there. The moment wasn't too big for them.

1119
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier has a lot to play with this season

1120
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: with his defensive players that he can plug play, match

1121
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: rotate the way the defensive line is rotating. I think

1122
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: this was on Good Morning Football. Maybe somebody said, you

1123
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: wonder if defenses are going to start to pick up

1124
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: on this and maybe try it themselves. There are some

1125
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: that do it already, but you're talking about a handful maybe,

1126
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: And I think it's because traditionally, when you have a

1127
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: premier pass rusher that you're paying giant money. It's kind

1128
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: of similar to quarterback. It's hard to get quality veteran

1129
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: players to spread across your line. But if you draft

1130
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: well and you have cheap labor at Panessa Rousseau Basham

1131
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: who are coming into their own now, and you can

1132
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: couple that with some affordable veterans Jordan Phillipson Jones to

1133
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: him settle and you know, the chickens come home to roost,

1134
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: and now you got a group. It's just a way

1135
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: of crafting it. It's been a few years in the

1136
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: making for this. Yeah, there may be some teams out

1137
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: there who try to emulate what the Bills have done,

1138
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 1: but they it will come down to those teams we

1139
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: feel they've got the roster to do it and the

1140
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: people to do it. Some some teams just can't hold

1141
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: up the way the Bills did, or have different gifts

1142
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: and different great players scattered around their front than the

1143
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: Bills do, so they have to play it differently. But yeah,

1144
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: it's certainly in the back of their mind that the

1145
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: not blitzing matt Stafford gives them problems. An interesting stat

1146
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: that I tweeted out the other last night the thy

1147
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: hours of the morning, Matthew Stafford had the highest passer

1148
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: rating in the league gast last year when he was

1149
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: blitzed on thirty nine point six when he wasn't blitzed

1150
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: when he faced four rushers or fewer. Last season, sixteen

1151
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: of his seventeen interceptions came on pass rushes of four

1152
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: or less, Right, I mean, if that's not an indication,

1153
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why Leslie Fraser did what he did,

1154
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: and that's why he's a mastermind. Best Stat Award, Maddie.

1155
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: If you're an offensive coordinator, this is the type of

1156
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 1: stat that you want to see. Converting nine of your

1157
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: ten third down opportunities ninety percent on third down is huge.

1158
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: Just to set the picture For how big of a number.

1159
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: This is the Bill's average forty six percent last season

1160
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: in terms of converting third downs. That ranked number three

1161
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL top three. So converting ninety percent of

1162
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: your third downs when forty six percent was top three

1163
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: last season, that is so huge. I mean, converting third

1164
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: downs lets you stay on the field longer, gives you

1165
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: more opportunities to score. It's such an important element of

1166
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: the game. Of course, you just want to stack on

1167
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: how first down, second down, then keep going, keep going,

1168
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: not get to too many third downs. But to be

1169
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: able to convert ninety two percent of those opportunities I

1170
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: think says a lot about this offense, the weapons that

1171
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: they have, Ken Dorsey, and what they can do. I

1172
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: mentioned this to Steve earlier. Three of their longest plays

1173
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: from scrimmage last night we're on third down. The fifty

1174
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: three yard touchdown, the forty seven yard throw to Davis,

1175
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: and the twenty six yard touchdown to Davis. But the

1176
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: three longest plays in the game on offense for the Bills,

1177
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: all of them came on third down. They also scored

1178
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: three of their touchdowns on third down. Josh Allen with

1179
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: the four yard scramble was the other than Josh Allen

1180
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: ranks really high in the NFL last year on scoring

1181
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: in third and fourth down. Yes, I think it was

1182
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: in the league or something. Okay, final award the X

1183
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: or Y Chromosome Award. I love this name. I did

1184
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: not come up with it. Brownie came up with it

1185
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: right before we went on. Shout out to Isaiah McKenzie

1186
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: for the coolest gender reveal I have ever seen scores

1187
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: of touchdown looks at the camera and goes, it's a boy.

1188
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: He was revealing the gender of his sister, somebody who

1189
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: he's really close with, somebody who's raised alongside isn't necessarily

1190
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: a sister, but is one of his best friends, so

1191
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: he treats her like a sister. So congrats to her.

1192
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: Oh so cool. Of course it was Isam McKenzie to

1193
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: do that. Now here's the crazy thing. There were two

1194
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: fans that ran on the field last night. Yeah, and

1195
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: they were running with these like pink snow smoke bomb

1196
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 1: things that and people in the press box were like,

1197
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: is this a gender reveal? So I found it even

1198
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: more hilarious that this. I didn't see this, so I

1199
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: had no idea that Isaiah had done that because I'm

1200
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: not really always staring at the TV and the press box.

1201
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the field. I'm jotting something down. So

1202
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know about that until Steve pointed it out

1203
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: to me this morning. That is unbelievable. I mean, you

1204
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: gotta get on camera to do that. Yeah, So I'm

1205
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: talking about making the most of the moment. Somebody tweeted

1206
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: at Isaiah and said, I wonder what it would have

1207
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: been if if you didn't score a touchdown? He goes,

1208
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: I guess you'll never know. Oh boy, it's probably good

1209
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: that he scored a touchdown, right, I mean, that's awesome.

1210
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: That's now where they they you know, don't that's fantastic.

1211
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: Don't have that forever? Though? Doesn't that kid have to

1212
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: be named television? Doesn't that kid have to be named Isaiah?

1213
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Now we'll have to talk to him about that or

1214
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: a little dirty, little dirty maybe that'll be his middle

1215
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: name if he's If he's a kid like every other,

1216
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: he will be a little dirty anyway. So that's right.

1217
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, all right, great, nice job with the Maddie

1222
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: pressure here, but you know we've we've said the bar

Speaker 1: And we also have the Vision to Victory coming up,

1229
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: a new component of our day after review of games.

1230
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,680
Speaker 1: We'll let you know exactly what that is when we

1231
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: return here on One Bills Live, presented by Collied to Health.

1232
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to one

1233
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: Bills Live. It is time for our Vision to Victory,

1234
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: presented by a Wall eyecare, the official eye care provider

1235
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. And we saw it right from

1236
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game. Steve Josh Allen comes out

1237
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: ten for ten passing, but he really was patient with

1238
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: his decision making in terms of taking what the defense

1239
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: was giving him, which was nothing cheap, nothing, deep right

1240
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: and he dropped back and I remember, even think about

1241
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 1: everybody remembers his first ten completions, he was like dropping

1242
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: back one step and bing out one step being out

1243
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: even the past. The one that got intercepted to Isaiah

1244
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: McKenzie was a very quick route. The first completion of

1245
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: the game two Diggs was a quick release throw. The

1246
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: ball had to come out of his hands quick all

1247
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: day because of Aaron Donald in that defensive line. He

1248
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure they got the ball out and

1249
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: and Ken Dorsey was giving him options. Those guys knew

1250
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: what they were doing and they were open. It was

1251
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 1: some misdirection as well, as we saw on that play

1252
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: fake there, you know, got the line moving one way,

1253
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: came back backside the other way for some plays, and

1254
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: it proved very effective. They were They weren't killing him

1255
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:51,799
Speaker 1: with big plays early, but they were remarkably efficient and

1256
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: that made the difference early and allowed them to keep

1257
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 1: moving the sticks. No unforced errors to any great degree,

1258
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: with the exception of the turnover um and it kept

1259
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: him in manageable down in distance. And they're gonna have

1260
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: to do some of that because when Josh has the

1261
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: arm that he has they're not. Yeah, nobody's they're gonna

1262
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: be playing too high safety a lot. Yeah, they're gonna

1263
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: keep the lid on it, no question, like the Bills do.

1264
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: And you're gonna have to wait until later in the

1265
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: game when they're a little bit more desperate to make

1266
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,719
Speaker 1: something happen. Like they were down ten, down seven points

1267
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: early in the fourth quarter. Uh, they're trying to make

1268
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: something happen by sending an extra guy. Josh sees it

1269
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: and just hits the open man. You got him. You know,

1270
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: it's you know, pick your poison. And the Bills executed

1271
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: it perfectly. This play that Josh Allen came up with

1272
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: and just told Diggs just run, just get behind him

1273
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: and get get past him and put some pressure on him. Um.

1274
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: If he doesn't throw that ball to Diggs, the the

1275
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: other option was gonna be there. They had him. Um,

1276
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 1: And that's you know that, that's just good football, and

1277
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: it leads to the big play. When you put that

1278
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: kind of pressure on a defence, it forces them to

1279
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: try things they didn't want to do when the game started,

1280
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: and it puts them in a tough position. If you

1281
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: can take advantage of it, like the Bills are equipped

1282
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: to do with Diggs, Davis and Allen. Yeah, and it

1283
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: turns into a three touchdown win. So that is the

1284
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: vision to victory, presented by a Wall Eyecare, the official

1285
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:20,560
Speaker 1: eye care provider of the Buffalo Bills. We are awaiting

1286
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: the Sean McDermott day after game press conference. It was

1287
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: its schedule to begin in just a few moments, so

1288
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: we'll keep tabs on that and when it does go live,

1289
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: we will bring it to you here on one Bills Live.

1290
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we'll take a quick phone call as

1291
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: we have some people waiting there. Your takeaways from the

1292
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: game last night. We go to Rick and Tonawanda. Next,

1293
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 1: what do you got for us? Rick? Yeah, I was

1294
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 1: just wondered that I got a feeling just what we're

1295
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: going to see all year. Right here, he gives the

1296
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: Bills were on a mission. Yeah, and and uh, anyway,

1297
01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: an injury report out yet? Did anybody get hurt last night? Yeah?

1298
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: And Oliver left with an ankle injury, did not return.

1299
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: So we that's really all we know at this point

1300
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:07,679
Speaker 1: in time. That's why we're gonna be going to head

1301
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott to see if there's an update on

1302
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,679
Speaker 1: his status and coach McDermott is ready now, so let's

1303
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 1: go live to Coach McDermott talking with the media. But

1304
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 1: did you get any sleep last night? Yeah, a little

1305
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: bit on the plane and then we we came in

1306
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 1: here and I had to work on the film. How

1307
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: refreshed were you just to see your eleven just pillted

1308
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: ears back and control the line of scrimmage last night?

1309
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: The d line, yes, sir, Yeah, they did a great job.

1310
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:42,759
Speaker 1: I thought both lines, the offensive line in the defensive line,

1311
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 1: both really did a great job controlling the line of

1312
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: scrimmage most of the game. Um overall, what stood out

1313
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: to you to most? And yesterday's victory, well, you know,

1314
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: I think it was our first game together as a

1315
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 1: as a team, in our first game together as a staff.

1316
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: Albeit we've had preseason games, it's not the same. And

1317
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: I was very impressed by the way the team hung

1318
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: together through the better part of three and four quarters

1319
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: quarters and played their best football and coached their best

1320
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: football when it mattered most, which was in that last

1321
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: quarter there. Coach, appreciate your time. Sure, Hey, Coach Andy

1323

1324
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: he's he's sort today. I don't know anything more at

1325
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: this point, So we just continue to take it one

1326

Speaker 1: day at a time here and and go from there. Yeah,

Speaker 1: we go. Good afternoon, coach George Radney challenge of community

1328
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,560
Speaker 1: news during this afternoon. Good George, good to see it

1329
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 1: all right. Congratulations on the past night. And I was

1330
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: wondering was ed Oliver hurt on the play went on

1331
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: the fourth and one when the lineman pushed everybody and

1332
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: they all ended up landing on top of happen to

1333
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: be on the bottom of that pile, which was that

1334
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 1: when the injury occurred, there was a it was here

1335
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: that player or a similar play there that you're describing

1336
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: me of, um, you know, an event where he was

1337
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 1: being pushed. I don't know if it's on that play

1338
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: that you're describing or a similar play. Okay, uh and awesome.

1339
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: Another question in the second half is it are you

1340
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 1: taking consideration of not running Josh Allen with the ball

1341
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: as much, especially once you get up by two scores,

1342
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: where possibly given James Cook and some of the other

1343
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: running backs more touches, especially a rookie like Cook, maybe

1344
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 1: the make up for the unfortunate fumble earlier in the

1345
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: game to get him more acclimated to the speed of

1346
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: the NFL game. Well, yes to the to to not

1347
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 1: running Josh. You know, we had to pass a waggle

1348
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: pass called there and in the fourth quarter in particular,

1349
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: and um, you know the receiver got covered, so Josh

1350
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: put it down and ram with it. Is only other options.

1351
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,919
Speaker 1: So um, that's something we can do better as coaches

1352
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: and we will moving forward. And as far as running

1353
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: back touches and everything, you know, yeah, you want to

1354
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 1: be able to get young guys in the game later

1355
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: in the game, and you don't always had that luxury

1356
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL as as games are very close. But

1357
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: we'll continue to monitor that moving forward. And um, you know,

1358
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: give give opportunities that are earned at the same time, Absolutely,

1359
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: thanks coach, have a great day you too, afternoon, Sean.

1360
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: We got a chance to talk to Jordan Phillips after

1361
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: the game yesterday and just all smiles about just being

1362
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: back in this system that a lot that he said

1363
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,640
Speaker 1: allows him to be the best version of himself as

1364
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: a player. Um, what have you seen that allows him

1365
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: to pick up where he left? Off and I mean

1366
01:15:56,439 --> 01:16:01,600
Speaker 1: he was as effective as anybody last NIGHTED team. Yeah,

1367
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, he just thrives in our environment. I think

1368
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's a credit to him, credit

1369
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: to to our staff, our culture, his teammates. I think

1370
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: all that kind of factors into, um, why he plays

1371
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 1: the way he does with us, and um, it was

1372
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: fun to watch last night. He brings a lot of

1373
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: energy to our team. He brings an edge to our

1374
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: football team as well, which is which is good. Um.

1375
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: I know you talked a little bit about last night, Um,

1376
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 1: but is there any insight you can give us into

1377
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, just what you saw from Christian Benford, not

1378
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: only like you know, the week of practice leading into

1379
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: the game, but you know going back to OTAs and

1380
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 1: in training camp that gave you guys the confidence to

1381
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,679
Speaker 1: give him the opportunity that you did give him last night. Well,

1382
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: he's very steady. Um. If you track his history all

1383
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: the way back to the spring and then even more

1384
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 1: so training camp till now up to now, he's he's

1385
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:56,640
Speaker 1: been steady. He's been consistent, which is which is a

1386
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 1: which is a very good thing for all players, but

1387
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: in particular rookie and he just seems very poised, you know,

1388
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: between the years as well, in terms of nothing really

1389
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 1: rattles him, and and he's big, he's strong, and he's

1390
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: had he had a good camp. Thanks you, I appreciate it. Sure.

1391
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: Hey sean to kind of follow up on that, What

1392
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: did you see out of each of those ropeak corners

1393
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 1: last night? And I know you guys have talked about

1394
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 1: mixing them up throughout the game, but did that kind

1395
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 1: of was that the plan of I think it was

1396
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: like two drives each and then switching for a bit.

1397
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: Did that meet what you guys were expecting it did?

1398
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: I thought coach probably did a good job with that,

1399
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,560
Speaker 1: and both players played well, played good salad football in

1400
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: their first outing, and I think it should give both

1401
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:44,640
Speaker 1: of them confidence. But also at the same time, you know,

1402
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 1: we move forward with with that competition and they're both

1403
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: trying to make each other better all the while and

1404
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 1: then make our team better as well. When you mentioned

1405
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 1: moving forward with that competition for you know, until you

1406
01:17:58,360 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: guys get trade back, is it going to be kind

1407
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 1: of week week on a starter or do you guys

1408
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 1: want to have that solidified? No, I just think we'll

1409
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: see how it goes you know, week to week probays.

1410
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: The best way to approach it right now, Catherine, or

1411
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: to describe it right now is, um, you know, we're

1412
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 1: going to continue to evaluate it and see how everyone's

1413
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: how everyone's playing, and um, what maybe matchups there are

1414
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: in front of us each week. Thanks. Yeah, hey, Sean, Uh,

1415
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, during the off season and in the spring

1416
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: and summer, you talked about how that trio of young

1417
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: pass us rushers of Greg and Boogie and aj how

1418
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: important it was for them to take that next step

1419
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: in their development. I know it's just one game, but

1420
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: they all had you know, one or multiple kind of

1421
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: splash plays there. Um, just how nice is that to

1422
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: see that that that's already kind of forming in week one? Yeah,

1423
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 1: good to see. I mean, obviously Von had a big

1424
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: night and Jordan did as well, but good to the

1425
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 1: other the other players that were that are on the

1426
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: younger end of our of our roster that way, Heather,

1427
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, Greg, Bogie, Ajum, all get involved. I

1428
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: thought all Um showed signs of improvement from a year

1429
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 1: ago in their last regular season game or real real game.

1430
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 1: So when multiple people can get involved and sharing the contribution,

1431
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: the energy, the edge to our defense. It really votes

1432
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 1: well for that rotation. And I know you talked about

1433
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: it a little bit last night, but just um, you know,

1434
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: when you have a young player like James Cook who

1435
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: fumbles on his first NFL carry, is that something where

1436
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: do you kind of have to try to have maybe

1437
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: some conversations with him on the side, just want to

1438
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 1: make sure that it doesn't kind of fester. And you

1439
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: know the mental side of that, Yeah, for sure, it's

1440
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: the you know, we try and try and allow the

1441
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 1: player to reset and then get back out there. And

1442
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 1: I thought coach Skipper did a good job with allowing

1443
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 1: that time to take place and then and then James

1444
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: was back out there for a couple maybe three to

1445
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: five plays I think through the rest of the game.

1446
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: So I think that's better than than than a player

1447
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: having to not go back out there and then sleep

1448
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: on it and not having a chance to to you know,

1449
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: kind of make up for the mistake if you will.

1450
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: And but I think that's something he'll learn from and

1451
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: he needs to learn from and we can do a

1452
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 1: better job with overall as a team as well. Thanks Shan,

1453
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 1: appreciate Yeah. They Coach JJ Fellman here in Rochester. Obviously

1454
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: a big game from Stefon Diggs against Jalen Ramsey. Over

1455
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: the years, how have you kind of seen him rise

1456
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: to the occasions and those big matchups when he's taking on,

1457
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, another top player at his position. Well, Steph

1458
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 1: is very competitive. That's a big reason why he's gotten

1459
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: to where he has at this level and in this level, so, um,

1460
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 1: he looks forward to those matchups and those are two

1461
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: really good football players that were competing against one another,

1462
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I thought step did a phenomenal

1463
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: job last night and at the same time kept as

1464
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 1: cool enough to to to you know, focus on the

1465
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: task at hand and do his job for the team.

1466
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: So there was a big play down the stretch for

1467
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: us for sure that fourth quarter. And then you know,

1468
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: you start with a Thursday night game. You get a

1469
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: Monday night game, kind of a nice little break without

1470
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: having to do the short week before and as you

1471
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: usually would on a Thursday game. How much of advantages

1472
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: that and how do you best use this time to

1473
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,600
Speaker 1: set yourself up for that Monday game and maybe the

1474
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: next coming weeks. Yeah, you know, it's it's not as

1475
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 1: consistent as we like it to be. We do give

1476
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a break right now, which is great.

1477
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: Will be on a short week the week after, but

1478
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: really I'm glad I spent a few hours with the

1479
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 1: Sabers and had a chance to see some of their

1480
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 1: schedules that they deal with in the in the NHL,

1481
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: because that's what we're dealing with a little bit now.

1482
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,599
Speaker 1: But we adjust and we overcome, and we've got great

1483
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: planners in our building that help us help us with it.

1484
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, coach, Yeah, coach a few more

1485
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: if I may. Um, Coach Dorsey was spurky. You only

1486
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: get one, they said, everyone saw the one question. I

1487
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: got no sleep, man, everyone's on. I'll fall asleep if

1488
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 1: this goes any longer. Oh no, this is good. You

1489
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: know this ain't gonna just got you in suspense right now.

1490
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: But uh, Coach Dorsey's first drive, right, how well, how

1491
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: important was it to be to start off just um

1492
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: uh fast and aggressive? And and how did you think

1493
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 1: your team did as far as the conditions of playing

1494
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: at the stadium? Yeah, I thought, you know overall the stadium. Uh,

1495
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 1: it was it was my and our first time there,

1496
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: and exciting venue there and obviously new and state of

1497
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: the art. Uh. In terms of the first drive, I

1498
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: thought it was very Um it was very efficient. We were,

1499
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, efficient in the run game, a little bit

1500
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: efficient to pass game. Um, Josh, you know, got on

1501
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: track early there. And I thought it was well well

1502
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 1: planned by and called by coach Dorsey, no doubt. And

1503
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: last one not these coach to fans embracing the fans there?

1504
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 1: What was it light to embrace Bill's had So yeah,

1505
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,879
Speaker 1: it was awesome, absolutely awesome, Um to see our players,

1506
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: you know, do this trying to get the crowd into

1507
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 1: the into the situation, whether it be on defense or

1508
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: when the offense made a big play or special teams

1509
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 1: for that matter. Um, it was that's that's just so

1510
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 1: cool to be a part of when you're on the road, um,

1511
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 1: in somebody else's place, in particular the defending world champs there.

1512
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,760
Speaker 1: So I really appreciate Bills mofis showing up there like

1513
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: they did our coach enjoy the break. Uh, you know,

1514
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: back to working alread you know that's rights. Hey Sean

1515
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 1: Andy Young Again, given all the talk throughout the off

1516
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 1: season and the preseason about putting players in position of

1517
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: adversity and then to see three turnovers in the first half,

1518
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 1: and even though the offense is kind of moving the

1519
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 1: ball and the defense played well, to have your team

1520
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:15,719
Speaker 1: have those sat backs and then at the same time

1521
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: turn around and really turn it down in the second half,

1522
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,640
Speaker 1: how satisfying was that? Yeah. I mean we went in

1523
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: at halftime, Andy, and we were, you know, to a

1524
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: coach all talking about, hey, we were shooting ourselves in

1525
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 1: our in our foot there and didn't feel like they

1526
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: had really stopped us to that point. So I thought

1527
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: just that perspective, if you will, at halftime was was

1528
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: good for the players to hear and because the game

1529
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 1: was what it was at half ten ten right, So

1530
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 1: and then it come out first kickoff pinnam inside the

1531
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 1: fifteen yard land there, defense goes three and out, special

1532
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: teams coming back, fields up, punt gets us in good

1533
01:24:55,520 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 1: field position. Offense scores. So good complimentary football to come

1534
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: out to start the second half, and I think that's

1535
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 1: really what got our energy level back up and we

1536
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: finished strong, all right. That's head coach on mc durman

1537
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: addressing the media of the day after the game. A

1538
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: little short on sleep, but got some on the plane

1539
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: and then came straight into the office at six thirty,

1540
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 1: despite the fact that he has a few extra days, no,

1541
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 1: when the team doesn't have to play again until a

1542
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: week from Monday. Yeah, that You've always said it. It's

1543
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: a lifestyle, and it's one of those jobs where you

1544
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:37,040
Speaker 1: you could spend all day every day getting ready for

1545
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 1: a game to coach a game for your team, and you'll,

1546
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, right up until the time the game comes,

1547
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 1: you could always think of think more things to do

1548
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,759
Speaker 1: to get ready. So it's it's a never ending job.

1549
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: And you know, the good coach are the ones that

1550
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,680
Speaker 1: can think of the most the smartest things to do

1551
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: to help their team win and get them done within

1552
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: the time allotted. And that's what coaches do. They get up,

1553
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: they they sleep when they can, They watch film, They

1554
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 1: relate what they've learned from that film to their other

1555
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 1: coaching staffs, and they formulate a plan around it. They

1556
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 1: try and find ways to get their team in a

1557
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: position to take advantage of what they've learned. And it's

1558
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: just it's just one thing after another that these guys do.

1559
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:21,599
Speaker 1: And I mean we're not a people. Ask me if

1560
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: I ever considered coaching, I'm like, no. First of all,

1561
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: I have to deal with mos like me. So you

1562
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:32,759
Speaker 1: know what any part of that. Secondly, it's it's it's

1563
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: who you become. You become a coach, and you're you're

1564
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: never not coaching, never for a moment. So and I mean,

1565
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 1: none of us are surprised that coaches in here doing that.

1566
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 1: And there is this inherent competitive nature in just about

1567
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,720
Speaker 1: every head coach in this league to never want to

1568
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 1: feel like anybody's getting a leg up on you. And

1569
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 1: that's why they devote the time that they do virtually

1570
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: every waking hour when they're not flat on their back sleeping,

1571
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 1: and sometimes they're even tossing and turning when they're trying

1572
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: to sleep thinking about the next thing. We have to

1573
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,920
Speaker 1: take a break here, time for maybe one more phone

1574
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: call when we come back, as we get your main

1575
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: takeaways from the Bills resounding thirty one to ten, blitzing

1576
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 1: of the rams here on one Bills Live, presented by

1577
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: a lot of health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All, Welcome

1578
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 1: back to one Bills Live. Steve and I have a

1579
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 1: limited amount of time here, so sorry we can't get

1580
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: to any more phone calls. The one thing we didn't

1581
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: mention Steve, all this talk about Ken Dorsey being the

1582
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator for the Bills. The Rams had one

1583
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: as well, not that he calls plays. In kJ Black,

1584
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 1: who replaced the guy that left him, became the head

1585
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: coach in the Minnesota Vikings. Mcgag still calls the plays,

1586
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 1: so you don't really say there was a change there,

1587
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: but the support system is different, So you wonder if

1588
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: that has some adjusting to iron out here. Knowing full

1589
01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: well Steve don't play in the preseason starters came on.

1590
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,280
Speaker 1: It's game one for the Rams. They're gonna get it fixed.

1591
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. They're not They're not gonna be

1592
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 1: a bad football team all of a sudden. Um, Certainly,

1593
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 1: they probably do have some rust to knock off. They

1594
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: probably do have some adjustments they've got to make to

1595
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: being the hunted rather than the hunters. They've got some

1596
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 1: adjustments to be made in their coaching staff and their

1597
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 1: game day and just playing. Got to get back on

1598
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 1: track where they were a year ago. So, Um, the

1599
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 1: Rams are not dead in the water at all, as

1600
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 1: the Bills wouldn't be either after this first week of

1601
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: the season. Um, certainly it feels better to be a

1602
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: Bill today than it does a RAM, but that has

1603
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the ultimate outcome of that. Plenty

1604
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,679
Speaker 1: plenty of ground, plenty of time to make up some ground.

1605
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: It is the first time, though, that a Sean McVay

1606
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: coach RAMS team is under five hundred in his tenure.

1607
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 1: He has never been under five hundred as head coach

1608
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,599
Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles Rams. That has now happened. That'll

1609
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 1: do it for us here on a Buffalo Football Friday,

1610
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:01,640
Speaker 1: Steve and I'll be back on Monday. Do we have

1611
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 1: three hours on Monday? Yes, we do. Okay, we don't

1612
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 1: have a game, but we're still three hours on Monday.

1613
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: We'll dice up what else happened in Week one of

1614
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. Enjoy the games this weekend. You can kick

1615
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 1: back and relax because your Bills won last night. Enjoy

1616
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: Week one, everybody. We'll see a Monday at noon.
