Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Drew Bledsoe on this fourteenth of February.

4
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: As we get started here on One Bill's Live on

5
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you as we

6
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: typically are and Steve, we are just two weeks away

7
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: from the NFL Combine. The NFL calendar is a non

8
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: stop downhill roller coaster that never goes uphill. Yeah, it

9
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: is always careening at breakneck breakneck speed. Two weeks or

10
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: in the combine, We're gonna be an Indian two weeks,

11
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: Steve tent Pole event, Let's go. It's crazy. We're gonna

12
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: be there and you know, a couple hundred college athletes

13
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: and all the scouts, all the GMS, all the coaches.

14
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you can set your watch by it.

15
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know why, why really set your calendar

16
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: by it. I always like going to the Combine because

17
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: it's just kind of just forces you to kind of

18
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: kickstart your preparation for the draft and all that stuff.

19
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: But it's also where you know negotiations will begin in

20
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: earnest for NFL clubs with player agents for resigning their

21
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: own perspective free agents maybe kicking the tire is on

22
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: some guys that could be hitting the market. You also

23
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: got to talk to player agents on your for players

24
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: on your roster who you may need to restructure, stuff

25
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, there's a lot of business gets

26
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: done because you're you're very close to the end of

27
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: the league year and the start of the new league year,

28
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: when a lot of these teams, including the Bills, are

29
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to get under the salary cap figure and

30
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: a lot of them are over. So yeah, it's gonna

31
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: be a very newsworthy NFL combine this year, maybe even

32
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: more so than others the league wide. And you just

33
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: got the Bills. And the interesting thing is that in

34
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: this day and age, the team with the top draft

35
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: pick is almost always looking for a QB. Not so

36
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: much this year. The Bears have got the top draft pick.

37
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: They've got just the bield right, So but the Bears

38
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: have got to make it seem like we might take

39
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Well, there's two ways I think the Bears

40
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: can look at that. They could say Fields is our guy, right,

41
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: and we're going to trade out of that spot for

42
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: a king's ransom, load up on some more picks and

43
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: draft capital, and really fill out this roster around Justin Field,

44
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: which is what they should do. That is probably what

45
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: they should do. But I would say I don't know

46
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: if this is a strong enough argument against it. It's

47
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: an argument, I just don't know if it's a very

48
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: strong one. If you want to reset the clock on

49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: your rookie quarterback contract so you can spend money elsewhere

50
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: on your roster, maybe you trade Justin Fields, hold onto

51
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: the top pick, use fields to acquire draft capital, draft

52
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback that you and you would only entertain this

53
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: if you believe that you have a quarterback in this

54
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: class that can be as good and has maybe even

55
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: a higher ceiling than Justin Fields, then you might entertain

56
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: trading fields to get the draft capital that you could

57
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: also get by trading out of the top spot, and

58
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: then you draft your quarterback one, use everything you acquire

59
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: draft capital wise by shipping Justin Fields out, and then

60
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: you're really starting over. Yeah, there's two. There's more than

61
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: one way to sure, and we've seen teams try all

62
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: of them in years past. I think you'd give Fields

63
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: some help. I think you'd try and trade out of that,

64
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: get all the draft picks. You can pick some guys

65
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: and let's go. You know, would I would move out

66
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: of that spot if especially if you're keeping Fields, move

67
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: out of the spot, get a couple of extra getting

68
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: maybe you get an extra one, depending on what team

69
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: is coming up from where. Yeah, you wouldn't only get

70
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: there one. Whether it's at eleven or twelve, you're probably

71
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: getting a high two, maybe a couple of twos and

72
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: next year's one. I mean, right, I think it's all

73
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: on the table, depending how far back that team's coming

74
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: up to get take your top spot. So right, I mean,

75
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: if you're trading with the guy at five, he's probably

76
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: flipping you two and that's it, you know. But if

77
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: it's a team at twelve, h now we're talking, you

78
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: know so. And there are a handful of teams that

79
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: have two first rounders this year and no Seattle is one,

80
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: Philly is another. Trying to just remember off the top

81
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: of my head because I don't have the first round

82
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: over in front of me, or what do you what

83
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: do you do if you're the If I'm the Arizona Cardinals.

84
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: I flip with the Bears and take a quarterback and

85
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: get rid of Kyler, Monty Austin Fort New GM gonna

86
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: jump up to one. Take a q You can get

87
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: a QB at three conceivably. I mean you run, you

88
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: always run the risk if somebody leap frogging you. Indie

89
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: could do it because they're they're hard up for a QB. Oh,

90
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: so Indie could leap frog Arizona very easy. But you've

91
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: got you've got, you got Bryce Young, will Levi, CJ. Stroud,

92
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker, Tanner McKee. Those are all the quarterbacks. Tanner

93
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: McKee six six two thirty all thus measurables. Right, but

94
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: he played, you know, he played to Stanford. Then you've

95
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: got Hendon Hooker Tennessee, who's six four two o eight,

96
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud six three eighteen. All these guys. Bryce

97
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Young is six foot a buck ninety five. That's that's

98
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: barely more than what I weighed when I played at quarterback.

99
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a look, he's a really smart player.

100
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Definitely has an arm, but yeah, he is rail thin.

101
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: He terrifies me. Durability. Yeah, he's still gonna go high

102
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: because of his football IQ and his athletic ability. But man,

103
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: you better have a monster offensive line in front of

104
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: that kid. CJ. Stroud to me, is a really intriguing prospect.

105
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson's the big boomer Bus kid. People are already

106
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: saying the next Josh Allen dye because played Florida. Anthony

107
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Richardson in his Florida career has never had a three

108
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: hundred yard passing game. Think about how wide open the

109
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: college game is now, right, He has never had a

110
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: three hundred yard passing game, and he has never had

111
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: a single game in which he's completed sixty percent of

112
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: his passes. Forget about a season. Well, he is a

113
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: traits pick, but he is the biggest boomer Bus quarterback

114
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: in this draft. He's one of those guys that Josh

115
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: Allen made pass. They're already they're already drawn them. Oh

116
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: is this guy the next Josh Allen. You know they're

117
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: doing that already. I don't think that Cardinals, as much

118
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: as they may want, we'll move on from Kyler Murray.

119
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: They just signed him to the Monster extension last offseason.

120
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: You can't. They don't have an out in that contract

121
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: until twenty twenty eight. That's so dumb, man. Why would

122
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: you dead cap hit if you moved him off your

123
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: roster this year? Steve? Are you ready ninety seven million dollars?

124
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: He gets an a in the business side of the game,

125
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: if not the quarterback side, that is Ugo City, because

126
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he can win with that guy. I

127
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: really don't uh around the NFL. We go Steve, which

128
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: is presented by Colloid of Healthy, official healthcare system of

129
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and we begin with coaching news, as

130
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: there is only one open coaching job remaining. The Indianapolis

131
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Colts in short order named Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steikan

132
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: their new head coach. He already had his press conference

133
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: last hour introducing him. That was quick. I don't even

134
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: know if the guy had a time had time to

135
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: buy a suit for that press conference. I know you

136
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: weren't exactly thrilled with his threads. Well, his threads are broka.

137
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: He needed you know, is he gonna shave or not?

138
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with no. Yeah, that's just that's just

139
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: me being an old guy. Sure, yeah, I don't. That

140
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: was the first time I ever saw him without a

141
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: baseball had Well, you know these football coach. I'm mumb

142
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: okay with that. Yeah, seven days a week in sweats

143
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm surprised that some fashion forward company

144
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: has not designed the sweatsuit suit. You know what I

145
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: mean upscale for coaches or for big guys. You know

146
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot of offensive and defensive linemen. They don't like

147
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: how confining a traditional suit feels. Right, make a sweatsuit

148
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: and cut it like a suit. What about you like

149
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: that idea? I think it would be pretty. I think

150
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: it could be revolutionary. Yeah, you gonna have to talk

151
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: to my daughter about that one. See if she can

152
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: get her friends down at f I T to work

153
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: on that something. Get some design students going on that thing.

154
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: It could it could be onto something there. Um Raiders

155
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr are expected to part ways today officially

156
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: still have it have until four o'clock today, otherwise they

157
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: got to pay him forty million dollars. Somehow, I think

158
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: it's going to get done, even even in the ways

159
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: in the myriad of ways that the Raiders can screw

160
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: things up, which they have royally, by the way, with

161
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: how they handle this whole Derek Carr thing to begin with.

162
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: Since they're gonna have to release him to say, forty

163
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: million dollars on their books and do it for nothing

164
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: in return. Now they're bad mouthing. I'm saying, Oh, he

165
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have enough guts to hang in the pocket. Yeah

166
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: he's not strong. Now, yeah he's not strong, I Will says.

167
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's totally incorrect. Because he gets

168
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: hit three or four times early in a game, he

169
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: didn't play the same way. So I believe there is

170
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: some measure of merit to that statement. I got an idea,

171
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: why don't you build your offense around a guy like that?

172
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to get some offensive linemen

173
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: can get rid of the ball a little quicker like

174
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: everybody else in the league at the top of the

175
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: league's doing. And maybe you do that. Yeah, maybe you

176
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: do help your quarterbacks coughing up starting from scratch with

177
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: another quarterback. Who they gonnae were they gonna get? I

178
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: don't know. It's McDaniel's on the phone with Brady already

179
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: telling him to come out of retirement again. I don't

180
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: see that happening either. You know, the Raiders will get

181
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy g Oh, oh, Jimmy. She's way better than Derek Carr.

182
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm the same guy. I don't think he I don't

183
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: think he's even as good as Derek Carr. He's not

184
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: as good. Oh come on, But you know it's the

185
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: whole Patriot connection thing. He's already got Jared's did him

186
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: on the roster. You know, he was the backup last

187
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: year for him. Listen. Yeah, it's like the whole inner

188
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: circle that you talk about with the Patriots coaching, a

189
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: circle of trust. The same thing with McDaniels over there

190
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Now it's the circle of trust. I

191
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: get it. I mean they you know, we don't. I

192
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: wonder if and I guess it probably is that the

193
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Patriots have their coaches before they leave, they have to

194
00:11:54,040 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: sign non disclosures a couple of NDA's. Yeah, I guess

195
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: they did. They would not put it past them. I

196
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: would not put it past them for a second. Can't

197
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: tell anybody what we do, and you can't. Yeah, and

198
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: you can't talk about the fact that you sign a nondisclosure.

199
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Not for a second. Would I put it past that organization.

200
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: They wouldn't even think twice about that. Um So, yeah, well,

201
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: we'll see what the Raiders decide to do. Where are

202
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: they picking the draft? They're got to be. They didn't

203
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, so they're probably somewhere in somewhere between

204
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: ten and twelve. Oh no, they were worse than that.

205
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: Are they in the top ten? And I can't. I'll

206
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: find it real quick, go ahead. I'm just curious too.

207
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: It's yeah, they're not. Yeah, they're they're ninth, one, two, three, four, five, six, seventh, seventh.

208
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: They could have a look at that, might have to

209
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: trade up to do it, but they pick seventh. Like

210
00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: it right. They'll make it interesting for sure. So there's that.

211
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: There'll be another team to watch. Other NFL news coaching news,

212
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: that is, the Ravens have hired a new offensive coordinator.

213
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: It's former Georgia University of Georgia offensive coordinator and quarterbacks

214
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: coach Todd Monkin, who also has time in the league

215
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: as a coordinator. He is with the Bucks from twenty

216
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty eighteen and with the Browns in twenty nineteen.

217
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: So back for a second stint in the NFL after

218
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: winning back to back national titles with the Georgia Bulldogs.

219
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: So he goes to the Ravens. Steve, and I wonder

220
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: what kind of cell job you'd have to give Todd Monkin. Obviously,

221
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: they have to convince him that they will have Lamar

222
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: Jackson on the roster next year, because why would you

223
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: go to Baltimore if you're not sure they're going to

224
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: have Lamar? Right, money I wouldn't take. It might have

225
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: to be an awful lot of money. Well yeah, and

226
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: he might be that he's wants to advance his career

227
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: and get a chance at it. And you know that

228
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: by doing something in that spot, you got a chance

229
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: you'll be a you would be a really hot commodity

230
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: if you can put that offense over the top. I'd

231
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: feel better about my chance. As though if I knew

232
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: definitively Lamar was going to be there, so I somebody else,

233
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you got sort of everything else though they're

234
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: probably franchising him anyway, so he'll be there conceivably. The

235
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: next question is are you going to add some weapons

236
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: to put around him? It's basically Mark Andrews and a

237
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: bunch of guys right as far as offensive weapons go.

238
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: In Baltimore, They've much like people criticize the bills for

239
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, right or wrong, for us not using enough

240
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: high draft choices on offensive lineman. People in Baltimore lamb

241
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: base the Ravens for not investing enough assets in their

242
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: receiving corps. Now, I don't know if that's completely fair.

243
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: They drafted Marquis Hollywood Brown high. They drafted Rashad Bateman

244
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: as a first round pick out of Minnesota. He's just

245
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: been injury riddled his first two years. So there are

246
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: some examples of them investing high in receiver talent. They

247
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: just haven't panned out, and it was due in part

248
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: to the fact that Greg Roman was running an offense

249
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: that was catered to Lamar Jackson's running abilities more than

250
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: his passing abilities. Yeah. Yeah, And I don't think it's

251
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna change too much. I mean they're gonna have to

252
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: do what Lamar does best. Oh, you don't think it's

253
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: going to change much. I wouldn't be surprised, Steve. They

254
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: may try tell me if tell me if you completely

255
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: disagree with my theory. I think Lamar quietly behind the

256
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: scenes voice some disappointment with the offensive system. While it

257
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: caters to his abilities as a runner, I think he

258
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: feels it limits him as a passer, and not only that,

259
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: it discourages free agent receivers from coming to Baltimore to

260
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: play because they don't want to go play somewhere where

261
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: they got a block all day. And Hollywood Brown was

262
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: probably in there going, you know what I got out

263
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: of here. That's what he said last year. I'm not

264
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: playing in this offense. Send me somewhere, and they send

265
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: him to Arizona. So I wonder if Lamar puts the

266
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: coaches in a hard spot. Well, I wonder if Lamar

267
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: kind of precipitated the move we saw at OC and said, Hey,

268
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: get me somebody that can help me in the passing game,

269
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: so we could be a more prolific offense. And I'm

270
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: not taking as many shots as a runner he hasn't

271
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: finished the last two seasons. Okay, well now. And also

272
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: the byproduct of that is maybe you convince a few

273
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: more free agent receivers come sign with you. Hey, we

274
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: got a new offense. We are going to throw the ball,

275
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: we promise. Got Lamar here, got a dynamic top you know,

276
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: five six seven quarterback, whatever you want to say, you know,

277
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: come on in and take a run at this thing. Right. So,

278
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if that kind

279
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: of was the impetus and again much the way they

280
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: catered to Lamar on his first contract as a rookie

281
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: and built the offense around what he did best at

282
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: the time, which was run the football. I wonder now

283
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: if this is the second iteration of that catering to

284
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: Lamar again to hold onto him and to diversify and

285
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: modernize the offense into more of a passing attack. And

286
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: mon Can can certainly do that based on his history.

287
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: We also have Derek Carr we talked about already. We

288
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: know that. How about the Super Bowl TV rating, Steve,

289
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: did you see that? Yes? I did. It averaged averaged

290
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: thirteen million viewers. Who would have thought, there's a lot

291
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: of people watched the Super Bowl one hundred eight. It

292
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: peaked in one hundred and eighteen plus million. Yeah, between

293
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: eight and eight fifteen, and that's that's a big number. Well,

294
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: and it was the third most watched Super Bowl of

295
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: all time, and it was due in part to the

296
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: fact that it was a close game throughout. That always helps. Yeah,

297
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: So man, that's something else. Speaking of Raven's offensive coordinators,

298
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: former Raven's offensive coordinator Greg Roman is interviewing in Washington

299
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: with the Commanders to possibly be their new OC. He

300
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: seems to be in direct competition with Chiefs offensive coordinator

301
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy, who might be looking to make a

302
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: lateral move out of Kansas City. He's interviewing for that

303
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: Washington position as well. I don't know what to think

304
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: about that. It's an interesting set of circumstances in Washington

305
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: because they have said they're going to be throwing Carson

306
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: Wentz overboard after a year where we heard that before,

307
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: and they're not going to start Taylor Heineke. They're going

308
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: with their draft pick from a year ago, Sam Howell

309
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: out of North Carolina. He is their quarterback going forward.

310
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: That is the plan. So if if it was up

311
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: to you, as you're Ron Rivera, Steve with A with

312
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: a second year quarterback set to become a first year starter,

313
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: would you rather have Roman or be enemy that Roman? Yeah,

314
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: he proved he could do with Lamar, Right, Yeah, I'd

315
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: rather have Roman and protect the guy. Well, you know

316
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: he'll build a running game to help him, right yeah,

317
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean you'd have Here's the thing too, that the

318
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: people don't Baltimore went all in on Lamar. They were

319
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: going to run the ball and do something different than

320
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: every other offensively, and they got some mileage out of

321
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: the fact that nobody saw offenses in a week week

322
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: basis like the one they ran, So they did get

323
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: some help for that. Of teams weren't built to stop

324
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: yeah Baltimore, so they really had to play left handed

325
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: defensively to get a handle on what Baltimore was doing,

326
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: but they were limited. It's an interesting thing. Eric B.

327
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: Enemy doesn't get much credit for what's going on in

328
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City because you know, Andy Reid and Mahomes get

329
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: the credit even though B Enemy is the offensive coordinator

330
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: and you can see b Enemy over there. I mean,

331
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: he's neck deep in what they're doing, no question about it.

332
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: So he deserves probably more credit than he gets for

333
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: the Kansas City offense. And it's exactly what happened with

334
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott when he was working for Andy Reid and

335
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: he couldn't get a job a head coaching interview and

336
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: Andy Reid said, you need to leave, So Andy Reid

337
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: let him go. The next year, he's a defensive coordinator Carolina.

338
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: Now he's a Bill's head coach. That's maybe what's going

339
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: on with with Eric B. Enemy to a certain extent,

340
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: if Eric b enemy can go and do it anywhere

341
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: else other than Kansas City at a high level, then

342
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: you know that'll be a huge step in, you know,

343
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: having him get a head coaching job. Yeah, so that's

344
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: that and we'll see what comes of it. So really

345
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: all you have left now is the Arizona head coaching

346
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: job is the only open position for head coach left,

347
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: and that's down to Cincinnati defensive coordinator Louanna Rumo and

348
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: Philadelphia defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. And interesting that the Cardinals

349
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: appear to be headed in the direction of hiring a

350
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: defensive minded head coach, but knowing that their defense finished

351
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: thirty first and points allowed, seems like new GM Monti

352
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: Asinford believes they need to fix the defense and quick,

353
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 1: so that's probably the direction they are going to go.

354
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: If the two finalists we've heard reported are the only

355
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: two finalists in the running for that job. That is

356
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: around the NFL presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare

357
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: system of the Buffalo Bills. Bit of sad news to

358
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: report former Bills, Cardinals and Saints guard Conrad Dobler, a

359
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: three time Pro Bowl lineman, passed away at the age

360
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: of seventy two yesterday, So sad to hear that news.

361
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: Played for the Bills for a while more towards the

362
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: end of his career, and wasn't he like a wild man?

363
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: Wouldn't he a little? He was the dirtiest player in

364
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: Pro football? OK. That was his calling card, and they yeah,

365
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: he owned he owned it. He played for the Cardinals

366
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: for a long played alongside Dan Dierdorff, who everybody will

367
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: know as a former announced broadcast broadcaster. Yeah he was.

368
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: You know, we talk I talk about you know what

369
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: the game was like back in the sixties and seventies.

370
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: It was brutal, and guys like him were the reasons

371
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: for it. Now, he's a sweetheart of a guy off

372
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: the field, a good sense of humor and all that.

373
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: But man, he would do whatever he could get away

374
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: with on the field and was notorious for it. Now,

375
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: he's a little bit before my time, So I don't

376
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: want to talk out of school, but that's that's what.

377
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: He was called the dirtiest player in Pro football in

378
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: a game where today, by today's standards, ninety five percent

379
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: of the guys playing pro football back then would be

380
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: the dirtiest player today. He held the record then held

381
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: that Moniker then, so that it was Yeah, he was

382
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: famous for that. He was one of the guys. Also,

383
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: he's he's a personality that was in the taste great

384
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: Less filling beer ads as well, So he's one of

385
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: those guys. That's how famous he was for being that guy. Interesting. Okay,

386
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: all right. The only other thing that kind of came

387
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: out of the Super Bowl was, you know, James Bradberry

388
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: right after the game said, yeah, I did hold Juju

389
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster on that play, tried to get away with it,

390
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: thought I could. So he has commented further on it,

391
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: Steve He said, I feel like I only had two options. Really,

392
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: I could take responsibility for it, or I could blame

393
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: it on someone else. I try not to live that way.

394
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: Comes from my mom or coaches in the past. I've

395
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: had taking accountability. So I'll tip my hat to a

396
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: guy like that, especially in defeat, to be that honest

397
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: and self effacing, self critical. Kudos to James Bradberry. There

398
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: are too few people around like that that alone up

399
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: and take the brunt of the criticism, so good on him.

400
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: Just throw that in there. Topic of discussion today is

401
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: an interesting one, Okay, We've got this up on the

402
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: tweet sheet for you already if you want to comment there. Otherwise,

403
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: you can call us at eight three five fifty one

404
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: eighty eight five fifty two five fifty. How much responsibility

405
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: should be placed on Josh Allen in the Bill's offense

406
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty three, And what we mean by that

407
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: is how much of the offensive load should he undertake.

408
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: Steve and I crunch some numbers before the show today

409
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: and we found out that in twenty twenty two, Josh

410
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: Allen accounted for seventy nine percent of Buffalo's offense. So

411
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: does that number sound about right to you? Or do

412
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: you think it should be more the same or less

413
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three? You let us know at eight

414
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: o three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

415
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: two five fifty the number to get on board. And

416
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: in case you're wondering, Josh Allen did not have the

417
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: highest percentage of his team's offense last season. As a

418
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: matter of fact, based on the numbers we crunched, he

419
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: was fifth at seventy nine percent. There were four quarterbacks

420
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: ahead of and we represented more of their teams total offense.

421
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: It might be obvious to who they are. The top

422
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: in the league was Joe Burrow with eighty two percent

423
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: of their offense, which doesn't sound much more than Josh,

424
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: but I don't know why. Once you get over eighty,

425
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: it seems like a really nobody's nobody else is over

426
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: eighty and Burrows eighty two percent number. The second guy

427
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: was Justin Hurt Justin Herbert at seventy nine point nine,

428
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: right at eight. And then the third one was Pat

429
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: Mahomes seventy nine point seven percent. Fourth one was Tom

430
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: Brady Tampa Bay seventy nine point six. They never ran

431
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: the ball either, so that's right, so their quarterbacks is

432
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: gonna throw it all over the yard anyway. And then

433
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: fifth was our boy, Josh Allen at seventy nine point

434
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: three percent of the yardage of the offense. So take

435
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: what you will. I think some of the more better

436
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: takes I've seen on this from people saying it says, yeah,

437
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: I get it. I'd rather see Josh throw for fifty

438
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: two hundred than throw for forty eight hundred and run

439
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: for four hundred. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, most

440
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: people would love to see him throw the football for

441
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: all the yards rather than run it as much as

442
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: he does, although I think in tough spots are in

443
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: certain situations that's the way to go. And certainly it

444
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: can be when you pull it down on a pass

445
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: play and run it. I'm all for that. And I'll

446
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: say this, you can go around in this circle a lot, Brownie.

447
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: People say you gotta stay healthy. When you look at

448
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, he's a running quarterback. Hasn't finished the last

449
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: two seasons. Kyler Murray, same thing he got. He got

450
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: nicked up this year. Quarterbacks to go down and get hurt,

451
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: it's a thing. All of Josh Allen's injured injuries in

452
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: his career have all come in the pocket. Yeah, all

453
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: of them. Well, hold on a second. He didn't miss

454
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: a game because of it. But against the Patriots in

455
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: his second season twenty nineteen, he did sustain a concussion

456
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: on a scramble but played the next week. That was

457
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: out of the pocket. He went running. So that's the

458
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: only one. But he didn't miss any time with it.

459
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: Didn't miss a game. Well, he missed the rest of

460
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: that game. Um, yes, that's correct. But the elbow injuries,

461
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: the one in Houston and is in eighteen correct, the

462
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: one this yeared. He didn't miss any time for that one.

463
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: But that's it. He has not been hurt running knock

464
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: wood and running outside the pocket. It's been in the

465
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: pocket that he's done that, And so it's a it's

466
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: a double edged sword, you know, do you want to

467
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: be running taking all those shots or do you want

468
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: him standing in the pocket when he's not expecting a

469
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: shot and getting one unexpectedly, you know, and having his

470
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: elbow torqud or his need rolled into or whatever. So, um,

471
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: it's an interesting philosophy, an interesting take on it. But

472
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: he's not out of line with the percentage of yardage

473
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: that he has or is responsible for for the Bill's offense.

474
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of good where it is. Um. I

475
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with it at all. I get

476
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: the fact that you might want to distribute it a

477
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: little differently, maybe have him run less but and throw more.

478
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are you always get the

479
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: people who chime in and say, wow, we should run

480
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: the ball, better run the ball, and nah, not really

481
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: they run it fine in my opinion, same same mix.

482
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: I like where they're at. I gotta say, right around

483
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: that eighty seventy eight to eight seventy nine to eighty

484
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: one percent of the offense. And where a quarterback needs

485
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: to be if he's going to be elite, and that's

486
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 1: where Josh is. Josh Allen was responsible for seventy nine

487
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: point three percent of the Bills offense this past season.

488
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: What should it be in twenty twenty three and why

489
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: you think it should be more the same or maybe

490
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: a little bit less. Maybe you want to take the

491
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: load off of Josh a little bit. You let us

492
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: know at eight o three oh five fifty one eight

493
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty the number to

494
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: get on board, I can't tell you. In early polling

495
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter or Twitter poll seven, almost seventy two percent

496
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Steve believe it should be less than seventy nine point

497
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: three percent, almost twenty percent believe it should be the same,

498
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: and little over eight percent say it should be more.

499
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: What do you say? Eight oh three oh five fifty

500
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 1: the local number to get on board one eight eight

501
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty the toll free number

502
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: for outside the calling area, got open lines for you?

503
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: Hit us up on the phones or fire one off

504
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. Steve and I take a break here,

505
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: but We're back with your phone calls and tweets next

506
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo

507
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to one Bills Live.

508
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and we are talking

509
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the percentage of Buffalo's offense that he

510
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: represents last season seventy nine point three percent of Buffalo's

511
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: offense in terms of total net yards for the season.

512
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, we are asking you today

513
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: what should it be in twenty twenty three and why

514
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: more the same or less than seventy nine point three percent?

515
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: Can let us know at eighth three five fifty one

516
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty the number to

517
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: get on board, or you can hit us up on

518
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet at one Bills Live. We go to

519
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: the phones and leading us off today is Russ in Angola.

520
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Russ? You're on one

521
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Call Chris and Steve. I really appreciate it,

522
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: and first one off, I love it. So anyway, I

523
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: heard you guys talking about Allen running and running quarterbacks,

524
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: and then Steve said something about our running game was adequate.

525
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. I think if the Bills had

526
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: a guy like say, say Quon Barkley or the guy

527
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: from Cleveland, I think it's Nick Chubb or even Ezekiel Elliott,

528
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: a big bruiser in the backfield, I think defenses would

529
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: think twice that, oh, they're gonna run, or maybe do

530
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: the past run option or whatever, and it would it

531
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: would take a little of the burden off Allen to

532
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: run all the time, or even the defense thinking well,

533
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: if anyone's gonna run, it's gonna be Allen because he

534
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: leads a team in rushing. I mean, does that make

535
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: any sense? Yeah, But here's the thing, if you can.

536
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know who you're comparing it to,

537
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: but the Bills were number two in the league and

538
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: yards per rush. They were number seven in the league

539
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: and yards rushing per game. Oh, I mean they I

540
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: mean I get it. If you don't want Josh to

541
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: be a part of that and you want somebody else

542
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: to do it, that's one thing. But I don't know,

543
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: there's not that many teams who run it better than

544
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: the Bills do. I mean, that's just kind of where

545
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: the league is, right, and they just don't run it

546
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: with a high degree of frequency. Fair enough, fair enough,

547
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: I'll accept that. But if you want Allen to run

548
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: less and last longer, you need a running back in

549
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: the backfield that's gonna take away some of that burden.

550
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: We'll call it. Yeah, So let's get back to uh.

551
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: Steve said something there that I find interesting and I

552
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: can't remember what it was, but I'm going to get

553
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: back to this past season. First game of the season,

554
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: we went out and kicked the crap out of the

555
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Champs LA. Second game, I believe, was against

556
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: the Tennessee the Titan, one of our nemesis. We beat

557
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: the what did I believe Henry had like twelve yards

558
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: rushing that game? We beat the crap out of them.

559
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: Then we went down to Miami and the team banked

560
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: in the sun for three and a half hours whatever

561
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: it was. They were also missing six starters. I get that,

562
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: I understand that, but let's just use Allen strictly. Allen

563
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: will talk about him for an example. After that game,

564
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Allen ever recovered from that heat stroke

565
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it on his brain,

566
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: however you want to name it. I don't think he

567
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: was the same player after that game for the rest

568
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: of the year. His decisions weren't the same. He wasn't.

569
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 1: You know. He's got that one play from that he

570
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: was jumping up in the air as he was going

571
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: on the bones and he hit Davis with that touchdound pass.

572
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he did do something similar. He did have moments,

573
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: but he wasn't In my opinion, he was definitely not

574
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: the same player after that Miami game. And I think

575
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: it was the heat that really did it just drained

576
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: him and he never recovered from it. I mean, I

577
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: don't know, what do you think. Yeah, I would tend

578
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: to think that it had more to do with his

579
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: elbow injury in Week nine. He was different after that,

580
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: so much so that the offense and Ken Dorsey had

581
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: to shift the focus of the attack to a shorter

582
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: passing attack with less pass attempts more running attempts. I mean,

583
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: they ran the ball more than they threw it. And

584
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: the win over Cleveland, which I believe was the very

585
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: next game after the Jets game, So the elbow was

586
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: an issue after Week nine injury against the Jets. So

587
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: if you want to argue that, I'm on board with that.

588
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: Because I think it did change him ever so slightly,

589
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: and then it wasn't until the very tail end of

590
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: the season where we started seeing him chucking the ball

591
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: around and not being afraid to let it rip. Not

592
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: to say he was afraid to let it rip prior

593
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: to that, but I think the team was very cautious

594
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: with the condition of his elbow going forward. I mean,

595
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: we have since learned that he took a PRP injection

596
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: to try to stimulate and promote faster healing of the

597
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: UCL ligament, which was partially torn but not fully torn,

598
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: and he was taking a risk every time he was

599
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: going out there to play. So I would argue that

600
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: that was the time where things changed for him, and

601
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: it would line up with what we heard from Stefan

602
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: dig Steve at the Super Bowl last week and all

603
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: the interviews that he did. He felt like after Week

604
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: nine they were finding ways to win, different ways to win,

605
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: but they weren't the same and they weren't nearly as

606
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: convincing when they were winning, you know, down the stretch

607
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season. Then you have injuries,

608
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: like you know, losing Von Miller and the defense changes

609
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, I mean I remember the you know,

610
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: the Dolf game, and then the Bills came back and

611
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: they barely beat Baltimore. But then you know, he had

612
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh game where it was thirty eight to three

613
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: and the Bills were flying high. He's throwing the ball

614
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: over the or they go into Kansas City and beat

615
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They beat Green Bay by ten. After the bye,

616
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't know he had more than moments, I think,

617
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: but in the Week nine thing against the Jets, yeah,

618
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: that I think that really that changed things for him. Yeah.

619
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, the second Miami game, he put the team

620
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: on his back. I mean he put the Superman Cape

621
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: on at the end of that game to win thirty

622
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: two twenty nine on a last second field goal. I

623
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: mean the Bills didn't have a fantastic game as a team.

624
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean they put up twenty nine on the Bills

625
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: in their own building, right, So it's not like the

626
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: team as a whole was playing great. Josh won them

627
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: that game against Miami thirty two twenty nine. I mean

628
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: he put the Cape on and was a superhero game.

629
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: So and that was down the stretch, you know, after

630
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: he had he was probably like five six weeks removed

631
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: from the elbow injury when he started feeling better. So,

632
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's a it's a valid concern. Maybe take

633
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: some of the burden off of Josh so he's not

634
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: and so he doesn't have to be seventy nine of

635
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: the offense. If you can find it and listen, I'm

636
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: a I'm all about it. If you can find a

637
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: guy like a Derek Henry who's different than everybody else, right,

638
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: He's six four, two thirty and can outrun everybody on

639
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: the field, and he's like it's like trying to tackle

640
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know butcher knives. I mean, you don't

641
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 1: want to be part of it. If you can find

642
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: one of those guys and you get one of those

643
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: guys that you know defend defenders are coming up and

644
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: shine away from contact, Yeah, the Bills haven't had one

645
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: of those guys for well maybe not since Mark Shawn Lynch, right,

646
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: but once again, Steve, you know, he's mentioned in all

647
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: these free agent running backs that could be out there,

648
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: and it's a deep class. Do you want to invest

649
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: that kind of a money in a running back position

650
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: when he not get more than twelve fifteen carries a

651
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: game that's not who the Bills are offensively, He's not

652
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball. I'd much rather invested in another

653
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: weapon on the outside, another pass catcher. That's where I

654
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: kind of come down. I'm most of the running backs

655
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: I would say this. I don't want to. I don't

656
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: want to exaggerating all, but just make the point. There

657
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: are probably fan bases out there outside the Bills fan

658
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: base who are saying, well, you know, Devin Singletary was

659
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: pretty good back for the Bills and they were a

660
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 1: playoff team all those years, maybe we should get him right,

661
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 1: just like the Bills are looking at all the running

662
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: backs on the free agent market and thinking there's somebody

663
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: in there who's way different than all the other guys.

664
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: I don't know that there is. Don't get me wrong.

665
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: Say Quon Barkley is on the free agent market and

666
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: he's an unbelievable talent, but he's gonna get paid eleven

667
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars a year. The Bills can't sweat that right,

668
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think the law the I don't think

669
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: you'll ever get that value back based on what you

670
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: are as an offense. Maybe your tweet can change things slightly.

671
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: If you have Barkley on your roster. Maybe you do

672
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: tweak the offense to take advantage of his talents a

673
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: little bit more, but in the end, the only way

674
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: you're beating teams like the Chiefs is by throwing the football,

675
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: just like they do. Look at what the Eagles did.

676
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: They were right there, don't get me wrong. They played

677
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: good offensively, they were right there. They were largely a

678
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: running team, and they tried to run their way to

679
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: a super Bowl and they came up short and they

680
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: gave up, and you know, they gave up a fumble

681
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown as well, and a long punt

682
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: return that gave the Chiefs a free shot at it

683
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: as well. So there's you know, so the Eagles had

684
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: the right recipe, just like the Bills have had the

685
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: right recipe going into Kansas City the last couple of

686
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: years here with the thirteen seconds and then going into

687
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: the regular season and beating them there as well by four.

688
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: That's why you're gonna do it with the Kansas City Chiefs.

689
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: So that was the right recipe that just you know,

690
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: they missed a couple of plays and that's all it takes.

691
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: It is an intriguing question for a talent like sae

692
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley. If the Bills go in say Quon Barkley

693
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: and say all right, we'll give you a one year

694
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: deal for twelve and he says yes because he thinks

695
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: maybe he could be the difference. I still, is that

696
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: better than paying like Juju Smith Schuster ten? No, right,

697
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,479
Speaker 1: I mean it's not. And there's no way Barkley's taking

698
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: that running back careers are too short. He wants to

699
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: get the longest, fattest contract he can find, not a

700
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: one year deal where if he blows his knee out

701
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: in the first year, his career is over and he's

702
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: not making any kind of money. Ever. Again, he's already

703
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: got one ACL injury. But you could sell that to

704
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: some guy though, if you got to the caliber of

705
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: a Barkley, say you're the thing that's going to put

706
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: us over the top. You come in here for one year,

707
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl with an outside chance at getting

708
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: the MVP of a Super Bowl with Josh and being

709
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: the guy that kind of puts us over the top.

710
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: Then hit free agency again next year. Too big a risk.

711
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: It is a risk. I can't see him doing it

712
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: with already one a cl tire on his resume. I

713
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: just I don't it's not good business for the player,

714
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: great business for the Bills. Yeah, it's not good business

715
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: for the player. It depends on what else is out

716
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: there as well. And it's a deep running back. He's

717
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: at the top of it, that's right. But my point is,

718
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: so he's gonna take you're telling somebody will give him

719
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: a two year deal or four year deal. He's looking

720
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: for like four or three or four years at least

721
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: if it's out there. Yeah, okay, yeah, what if it's

722
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: not might not be. We'll have to see him. But

723
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is what he gets to sign a

724
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: four year deal with nothing guaranteed an assigning bonus. Yeah,

725
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: and you get that from the Bills. You know he's

726
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: gonna see all that first year money. So I don't know.

727
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: It's an interesting question, but I'm with you. I would

728
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: rather see at a high end outside another ever than

729
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: a running back. Josh Allen was responsible for seventy nine

730
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: percent of the Bills offense this past season. What should

731
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: it be in twenty twenty three and why more the

732
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: same or less? You let us know at three fifty one,

733
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: eight eight, five, fifty two five fifty Jerry and Tonawanda,

734
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: Butch on the east side. You guys are next when

735
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: we come back here on One Bill's Live, presented by

736
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: a lot of health It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

737
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live. Gonna go right back

738
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: to the phones at eight o three, five fifty and

739
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: we begin with Jerry in Tonawanda. What do you got

740
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: for us? Jerry, Well, you were talking about the importance

741
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: of Josh allD on the offense, and I totally agree

742
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: that he's the key piece. But I've always been frustrated

743
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: by the Bill's lack of use, or maybe not more

744
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: use of the tight end and like a slot receiver

745
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: like Cole Beasley. If you look at the success that

746
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,240
Speaker 1: Brady had over the years, he always had Gronden Cook

747
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: in the picture, and then the Super Bowl where we

748
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: saw Kelsey become a key part of their offense. I

749
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: just frustrated that the Bills don't do bore to get

750
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: the tight end involved. And boy, they need a guy

751
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: like Cole Beasley because it seems to me that he

752
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: pulled them out of a lot of problems last year

753
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: where when he was playing, and so I would think

754
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: that Yeah, it's a given that allan is the basic

755
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: building block, but I think we needed to look at

756
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: the slat receiver and a tight end more in the

757
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 1: coming years. And that's it. Thank you, all right, Thanks Jared.

758
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: I know it's not a hot take or sexy to

759
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 1: say it, but the Bills don't have too many problems

760
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: on offense. They were number two in scoring this year,

761
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: behind Kansas City, and they beat Kansas City in their

762
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: own building. Yeah, you can say it looks different than

763
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: you see Kansas City's offense look because Travis Kelsey's a

764
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: singular talent, it's going to look different when he's out there.

765
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is a really good tight end and a

766
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: lot of teams would love to have him, and the

767
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: Bills knew that. That's why they extend at him. Cole Beasley, Yeah,

768
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: and they did up until the time Jamison Crowder got

769
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: his leg busted. They understand all of that, but a

770
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: lot of the plans that they would put in place

771
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: to make the offense look a little bit more like

772
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: we all wish it would look were sabotaged this year

773
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: by different by instances and things, circumstances that we're beyond

774
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: their control to begin with, and even in spite of

775
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: those things, they played really well. Even in the face

776
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: of twenty seven turnovers, they played really well. They were

777
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: hard to be They lost three games by a total

778
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: of eight points, and one of them, the Miami games

779
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: and then Minnesota game shouldn't have been lost, and either

780
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: should the Miami game. So I'm you know, just it was.

781
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable to think, you know, they could have been

782
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: fifteen and one even with it, or fourteen and two

783
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: or fourteen and one. What am I trying to say?

784
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 1: Fifteen and one, and even with the game that was canceled,

785
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: fifteen and one after sixteen games and been the one seed.

786
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: But that's where it should have been. And you can,

787
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: you can throw darts at whatever you want about how

788
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: they looked and all that. I mean, I get it.

789
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: We're in that kind of mode right now because they

790
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 1: look terrible. In their last game offensively scored ten points,

791
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: and we Brownie and I've been talking about that for

792
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: weeks about why we think that happened, and it had

793
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the philosophy or the play calling

794
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: or any of that stuff. This team was really good

795
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: offensively last year. Josh was a big part of it.

796
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: We've heard people and all of us have said, I mean,

797
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: Brownie and I both said it. You know, you don't

798
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: want him to start playing. They played too much hero

799
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: ball where Josh is trying to go deep all the time. People,

800
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: you don't want Josh on the field and you want

801
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: him to be responsible for it, but he's just taking

802
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: easier completion. He threw too many interceptions, They had too

803
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: many drop balls, and that basically was the crux of

804
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: the problems for me. They didn't have anything to do

805
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: with Gabe Davis not being good enough. It didn't have

806
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: anything to do with Cole Beasley not being used enough

807
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: and ant of that stuff. They had plenty of options,

808
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: but they turned it over and they dropped passes. And

809
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: if they wouldn't have done any of that, they would

810
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: have been number one in scoring this year. So I

811
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, we're when we when we

812
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 1: broke down these numbers, I kind of figured it would

813
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: be there, and it was. Josh is one of those

814
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: top five guys where the offense runs through him a lot,

815
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,720
Speaker 1: but the others are the same guy Joe Burrow, Pat Mahons,

816
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Tom Brady and Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurtz

817
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: was down in the sixty seven percent. It was just

818
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: over two thirds. That's because they run the ball so much.

819
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: That's why. And they've also played in a in a

820
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: cruddy deficient conference, in a bad division, and had Jalen

821
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: Hurts was forced to throw at twenty two total times

822
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: in the regular season in the second half of games

823
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: where he wasn't in the lead twenty two attempts in

824
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: the entire season in the second half of games where

825
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: he didn't have the lead twenty two. So don't tell me.

826
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: They don't tell me they were this all this great.

827
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have made it into the they wouldn't have

828
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: made it into the second round of the playoffs in

829
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: the NFC AFC. Jacksonville might have beaten them. I mean,

830
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, good grief, I mean, I like, I'm I'm

831
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: going off here. Philly's a good team and they and

832
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: they deserved all. But then they had a cake walk

833
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: of a season. They had a cake walk of a season.

834
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: A week schedule, week quarterbacks, horrible quarterbacks that they faced, yeah,

835
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: that they faced. And they could run the ball whenever

836
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: they wanted to. Because they were never under any pressure

837
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: to score points like they were against Kansas City. So

838
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: say what you want. The Bills are right where they

839
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: need to be with Josh and I'm all about this.

840
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: Keep it at eighty percent or right, just a round

841
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the yards in the game or his

842
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: arm or his legs stay right there. And if you

843
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: want to distribute it a little more to somebody else

844
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: on the run game, fine and have him and have

845
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: him throw it more. Okay, I'm all about that. But

846
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: man o, man, that this offense. You know, you're saying, well,

847
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: we're splitting hairs here, folks. They're doing They're doing a

848
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: lot of things right, maybe everything right. But they got injured.

849
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: They had a catastrophic event that zapped their brains and

850
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: self admittedly, and they turned it over to and they

851
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: turned it over Other than that, they were the preseason

852
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: team to beat, and they would have been the team

853
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: to beat at the end of it too. So still

854
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: on thirteen games and they say, yeah, I mean they

855
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff where but that's the game

856
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: that Yeah, that's the league. That's the league. Man, You're

857
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna go through that, You're gonna get injured somebody else

858
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: is not your The ball's gonna bounce perfectly into the

859
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs linebacker's hands, and for you, the guy boots it

860
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: around and then somebody else, your guys falls back on

861
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: top of it. You know. So that's just the way

862
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,959
Speaker 1: the league is, and that's kind of what we sign

863
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: up for as fans of this stinking thing. Let's get

864
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: back to the phone and go to butch on the

865
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: east side. First of all, good afternoon to both of you.

866
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, I love both of you. I love Gions staff.

867
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: I want to see a happy Valentine's Day. And I

868
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: don't not only to your wis, but to all the

869
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: ladies who listen to your radio show. I want to

870
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: say that to the ladies. Nice. Yeah, you know, we

871
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,959
Speaker 1: gotta do that, you know, Brownie, you know we gotta

872
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: be gentlemen. Oh, I know. But listen, I got a

873
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: couple of things and I'm gonna listen to the rest

874
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: of the shold, which is good. Right now, we had

875
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: a little air that was left came out the bottle

876
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: this year. Well, the whole NFL is looking at it.

877
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: Some people look at as a failure. Some people look

878
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: at us. Okay, you know, they're there, but they might

879
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: not make it. But let's look at what we have

880
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, in the cabinets right now. We have

881
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: to make an adjustment. We're dealing with some money, which

882
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: we already you know, we had to pay a quarterback.

883
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: Everybody will pay a quarterback. Whatever's left crumbs left over.

884
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,919
Speaker 1: We got to feed everybody else. We got a number

885
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: one wide receiver in Stefan Diggs, that's good. We got

886
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: a capable, good receiver in Gay Davis. He just had

887
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: it off a year. I'm gonna give you that. But

888
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: what we have to do, and if we look at

889
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season when we played Miami and

890
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: a lot of our young players that we drafted. We

891
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: had two cornerbacks that was rookies playing out there. We

892
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 1: had a linebacker like Terrelle Bernard out there getting some reps.

893
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: And we had other young players that was back there,

894
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: like Jaquan, like like like Hamling and like all these

895
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: little little young guys. Those were the nuggets on the

896
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: salary cap that we had that we were playing. We

897
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: were winning with those guys. Now people started getting healthy

898
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: later on in the season, we start implementing them back

899
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 1: into the defense and start moving our young players out. No, no, no,

900
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: in today's game. You look at Kansas City, all of

901
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: those young players that was playing, those young rookies that

902
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: was getting time in today's world. Steve and Chris, you

903
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: guys really really know when we saw the change. Young

904
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: players are coming into the NFL ready to play. Now.

905
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: It's no more shitting down after three years behind the starter.

906
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: Those are the old days. These young kids are athletes.

907
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: They're ready to roll, They're ready to get on a

908
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: game and everything else. Now. The reason why I say

909
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 1: that is if we come in and make a couple

910
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: of justice. First of all, in the draft comes we

911
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: have to protect, in this case, our president, so we

912
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: gotta get it some secret service. Josh Allen is the

913
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: main thing. I would move Dion Dawkins off, moving from

914
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: tackle with the guard, kick him inside now our center.

915
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: He might be a casualt because I'm sorry, he did

916
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: a great job all these years, but we need that money.

917
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 1: We could move the guy who's on our right guard

918
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: that we just signed, we took away from Chicago. He

919
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: could play shitter because he used to play it before

920
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: we had as a backup. Now in a draft second round,

921
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: you start going to get a lineman, get a lineman

922
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: in the forefront. But that first round pick, you get

923
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: a Bill Cow to go with Cook, that kid from Texas,

924
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: that running back big back. You get somebody like that

925
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: to take the pressure off Josh. You got a guy

926
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: in the practice squad that I pray to God that

927
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: they let us a resident is Keishawn Johnson from Fresno

928
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: State six one. They kick and flat out play, you know,

929
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: put him up and implement him. Matizie might be a

930
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: casualty cutter. Now you bring Shaq Lawson and Jordan back.

931
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: You let Terrell down. You let Terrell but now playing

932
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: a linebackup with Milano, and you let your young players play.

933
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: And I promise you and I let him hang up

934
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: on this. I promise you. Looking after Super Bowl like

935
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: you guys did here, it is Pat Mahons won the

936
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: game without a number one receiver because he's Pat Mahomes.

937
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: The same thing with Josh Allen. Make the game so perform,

938
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: let him operate on offensive side of like Steves that

939
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: we had a good offense. We did Steve, but on

940
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: the deep inside of board. That's what we're gonna lose.

941
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: Some free agents let's use something people play and then

942
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: doing a draft Adam, maybe pick up some free agents

943
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: and let's move on and we still can win. I

944
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: love each and every one of you. Thanks you so

945
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: much for taking our call Western New York, USA. I

946
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: love you guys. Happy Valentine's Day. Guys. Thanks, But we

947
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: are up against it, so we'll take a break here.

948
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: We'll kind of reflect on some of Butcher's comments. Take

949
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls an hour. Number two, Dick

950
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: and Lockport will leave us off in our number two

951
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: and we'll tell you. We'll have more to say about this.

952
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: But it looks like the Eagles are going to in

953
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: fact lose each of their two coordinators this offseason to

954
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: head coaching jobs. Arizona ready to name Eagles DC Jonathan

955
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: Gannon as their new head coach. We'll give you more

956
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: when we come back here on One Bill's Line presented

957
00:53:54,040 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. This is

958
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by called Light of Health. There

959
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: we are our number two. Chris Brown, Steve tasked with you.

960
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live is the show. Cardinals are finalizing a

961
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: deal with former Ingles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon to become

962
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: their new head coach. According to ESPN, it is the

963
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: last head coach opening of the cycle, and as Steve

964
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: and I were lamenting during the break, it means at

965
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals get their defensive coordinator back. Lou Ana Umo

966
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: was a finalist for that Cardinal's job, but now he

967
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: goes back to Cincinnati as dc SO and the NFL

968
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: coach of the Year gets both his defense coordinators back.

969
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: Brian Dabo gets both Mike Kafka and Wink Martindale back

970
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: as his Yeah, they were in the running for some

971
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: other job coordinators, which it looked like they might we

972
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: lose both of them. Yeah, I never really thought Martindale

973
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: was going to get that Colt's job. He was interviewed there,

974
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: I know, but what did they have twelve candidates? And

975
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I don't know, but there's a

976
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: bunch of coordinator jobs up for grabs now. Arizona obviously

977
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: just hired, you know, Jonathan Gannon. They've got both those

978
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 1: coordinator jobs up for grabs. Carolina has not chosen their

979
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator or their play caller Sean Payton, and denn

980
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: hasn't chosen any of his coordinators. Yet Indianapolis needs their

981
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator still, and Philly lost both

982
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: their coordinators to the head coaching jobs that we just mentioned.

983
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: And then Tampa Bay needs an offensive coordinator and a

984
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: play caller, and Ron Rivere needs an offensive coordinator and

985
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 1: a play caller. A lot of jobs open around the league.

986
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: Gets That's the new currency right now is who your

987
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: coordinators are. Yeah, I mean, if you're not going to

988
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: get a new head coach, let's change the coordinator. That's big.

989
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: He used to and you'd never do it. Now teams

990
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: are doing a little bit more, mostly because of hires

991
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: and all of that, but also some guys just leaving.

992
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: What we're doing here is telling you that Josh Allen

993
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: was seventy nine percent of the team's total net yards

994
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: this past season. What do you think it should be

995
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three? And why about the same more

996
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: or maybe less? And let us know on the tweets

997
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: At one bills Library, you can hit us up on

998
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: the phone lines eight three fifty fifty two five fifty

999
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: open line for you there. Once, right before we went

1000
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: to break this last time, we got a call from

1001
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: Butch in Buffalo, and he went down the list and

1002
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: what his I think his main gist was, I was

1003
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: writing some stuff down. He's urging the Bills to when

1004
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: they draft guys to put him on the field. Khalil Shakir.

1005
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: They did it with Christian Benford, with Kayer Elam. They

1006
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: also had Damar Hanlon. Juquon Johnson got a chance to

1007
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: play this year, mostly because of injury. All of those

1008
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: guys really helped, and as the season wore on, you

1009
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: saw less and less of them. James Cook a great

1010
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: example as well, So there's a lot of he felt

1011
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: like and I think a lot of fans said this too.

1012
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: They just they wanted more from the draft picks this year,

1013
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,959
Speaker 1: and they're looking at the Chiefs in the Super Bowl

1014
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: and had all those rookies playing, a bunch of three

1015
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: rookies in the secondary, Pacheco carrying the ball for him,

1016
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: all of that stuff sky. So they had, you know,

1017
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: a lot of contributions from young players. I got it.

1018
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: You'd like to see that. You'd like to see guys

1019
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: do that and have them on the hook and say, hey, yeah,

1020
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: they're really going to help us. And I think at

1021
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: the end of the year, Khalil Shaker really did get

1022
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: a chance. I actually got more opportunities and did well

1023
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: with them. Same thing with Cook. But in getting there,

1024
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: the Bills were so hard to beat this last year,

1025
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: and I don't know that they wanted to upset the

1026
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: apple cart too much or starting rotating guys in or

1027
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: when they had guys that were, you know, they were

1028
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: winning games. Yeah, but I think once you saw that

1029
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: maybe you weren't going to get the week to week

1030
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: consistency from people like Isaiah McKenzie or Gabe Davis, that

1031
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: was the time to turn the page and say, you

1032
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: know what, let's get you here on the field a

1033
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: little bit more. Let's incorporate James Cook into the passing

1034
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: game a little bit more, get those rookies on the

1035
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: field more. They did it incrementally, and I think looking back,

1036
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if hindsight is telling them, you

1037
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: know what, we probably should have gotten them more involved

1038
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later, because the ceiling is higher on

1039
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: those two players, in my estimation, than it is on

1040
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: a player list. Maybe maybe, but what are they gonna do?

1041
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: Go thirteen and three? Well they did that and they

1042
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: only lost by eight points. To three games right total.

1043
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: They were humming along fine. Now, certainly you could say

1044
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: this too, and I know this is where we all

1045
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: were coming down the stretch of this last season. It

1046
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: was like the Bills were getting crushed by some of

1047
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: the local media because of style points. Seriously, style points. Well,

1048
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: they weren't winning in the same fashion that they were

1049
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, and I think people looked at

1050
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: that and said, oh, was there a problem here. I

1051
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: think that is the main concern. It's style points. Yeah,

1052
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: I understand to win is a win. I don't. Yeah,

1053
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: they're coming down the stretch. They're they're beating the Detroit

1054
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Lions by three, the Patriots by fourteen, the Jets by eight,

1055
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,919
Speaker 1: the Dolphins by three, and then the Bears game of course,

1056
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: where they crushed that team, and then you know, the

1057
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Cincinnati thing happens, and then New England. It was style

1058
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: points and I you know this, uh and if there's

1059
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: I can see this where the coaches has this, Listen,

1060
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: they're we're the better team in these games. We're not

1061
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: running off and leaving anybody. But there ain't no way.

1062
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: There was no way in the Packer game that the

1063
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: Packers were coming back and beating us. They scored a

1064
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: late touchdown to get it to ten points. Were they

1065
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: were not beating us. We're not changing anything, that kind

1066
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: of mentality, and I get it. Sometimes it comes back

1067
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: to bite you. The Minnesota Vikings, the Jet game. You

1068
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: know you need a late field goal to beat the

1069
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions or maybe not maybe what was it? Yeah? Yeah,

1070
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: So all that stuff happens and you're thinking, man, we

1071
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: could just need to play a little better. Give it

1072
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: because it takes the stress off our fans, so they

1073
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: don't you know what I mean, I'm just not there.

1074
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: The Bills are doing a ton of stuff right offensively

1075
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: and defensively as well. And injuries, turnovers and drops three

1076
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: things that you can look at and say, wow, that

1077
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: this season is completely better if it can be after

1078
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: thirteen and three if you just don't do that stuff.

1079
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: And I know injuries are gonna happen. I know turnovers

1080
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: are gonna happen at a point, but man, oh man,

1081
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: they turn it over sometimes like it was their job.

1082
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: And you know they still were winning games. So I

1083
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: using their personnel. I the philosophy they have had in

1084
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: place has been very good because here's what happens, and

1085
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: here's why. And I get it. I wanted James Cook

1086
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: to be the difference maker too, and I wanted Khalil

1087
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: Shakir to get more opportunities as well. I mean, I'm

1088
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: all about it, but here's where I'm at. One of

1089
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: the things, the benefits that we don't see that I

1090
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: think it really I'm convinced exists for this coaching staff

1091
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: and the roster and the players in the locker room.

1092
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: When a guy like James Cook gets drafted in the

1093
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: second round and he comes in and he's like, Okay,

1094
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna start taking handoffs from Josh Allen

1095
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: and it doesn't happen because he's a rookie and they

1096
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: got Devin Singletary and Zach Moss ahead of him at

1097
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: the time, and they get the reps because they're here.

1098
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: They're the veterans. You gotta earn it. So by forcing

1099
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: guys like Khalil Shakir and and James Cook to earn

1100
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: their rep let alone game reps in a game, playing time,

1101
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: just getting on the practice field and getting a chance

1102
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: to get in the rotation, man, it lights a fire

1103
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: under them when they go into this offseason, and they

1104
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: when they're leaving this building for the last time after

1105
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: their exit interviews, they're going, man, I gotta get on it.

1106
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: I want to be on this team. I want to

1107
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: get on the field. That's big. That's big for the

1108
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: culture in the room, it's big. The culture in the

1109
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: locker room is big for these guys who you have

1110
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: great players and really gifted players like Cook to say, man,

1111
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 1: I got to really bring it every week or they're

1112
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: not gonna let me play. That's a big step and

1113
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 1: it's a huge part of why this club gets guys

1114
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: to develop. When other clubs have guys that are five

1115
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: year players that are the exact same guy when they drafted,

1116
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: then they drafted five years before, they're not different. And

1117
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: the Bills have some guys that are very different, not

1118
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: only years ahead, but from week in week seventeen than

1119
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: they were in week three. It's a big difference that

1120
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: this coaching staff has had. And one of the reasons

1121
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: is they got to earn absolutely everything. And I know

1122
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: we're impatient, as fans meant, Brownie and I are two,

1123
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: but I think it's a huge plus and it's a

1124
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: discipline thing that this coaching staff has says, you're gonna

1125
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: get it until you earn it, or until you're the

1126
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 1: best option after guy goes down. It's a big it's

1127
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: hard to do, and most teams don't have the stomach

1128
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: for it. But I think if you look back over

1129
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: the handful of years, it's obvious that it has paid

1130
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: big dividends for these guys when they do get on

1131
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: the field and when they come back the next year,

1132
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: how motivated they were in the off season to be

1133
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: the guy that gets the reps. It has really made

1134
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: a big difference. Let's go back to the phones and

1135
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: we go to Dick in Lockport. Next. Here we come on,

1136
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 1: here we go. What do you got first? Dick? Hey,

1137
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Guys, Steve, you mentioned about

1138
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: Joss being when he was heard it was in the pocket.

1139
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: You remember, missus Peller. Where's the beef? We need some

1140
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 1: people up front there. That's three hundred twenty five plus

1141
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: to give Ellen a little chance there instead of him

1142
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: having to run all the time. Another thing is is Beasley.

1143
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: They didn't use him very much. They brought him back

1144
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: and he was their bread and butter slot receiver that

1145
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: got him, you know, down the field when they needed

1146
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: at first down and as far as a defense of

1147
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: a lot of mistackles, I don't know what's going on there,

1148
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, i'd like to see easily come back and

1149
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: put him back in that slot ye and let him

1150
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 1: do his job. Yeah. I think he goes thirty four

1151
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: to thirty five years old by the time we get

1152
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: to next season, so I don't think it's a lock

1153
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: by any means. I suppose if he wants to come

1154
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: back and they want to put him on a veteran

1155
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: exemption and have him on the roster's insurance, that's one thing.

1156
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 1: But he was on the practice squad until they had

1157
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries and could afford to add him

1158
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: back to the active roster, and even then his time

1159
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: on the field was limited. I know that Cole at

1160
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: the end of the season said he'd be interested in

1161
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 1: coming back, but I think it's going to be largely

1162
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: predicate on how they addressed the position before they entertain

1163
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: that he is not at the top of the priority

1164
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: list at the receiver position. In my estimation, they have

1165
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: other decisions they have to make their both in free

1166
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: agency and the draft, and knowing how tight money is,

1167
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: I can't see them using a veteran salary on Cole

1168
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Beasley right at the jump um. They brought him back,

1169
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: I think mostly as an insurance policy they were getting.

1170
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: They knew something was missing, they knew they knew that

1171
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: they needed to make a run, and they wanted to

1172
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: have a guy here that would help him if they

1173
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,439
Speaker 1: needed him, a guy that would be plug and play.

1174
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: And that's what Beasley was. I think Khalil shak here

1175
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: at the end, he was the guy to go in

1176
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: before Beasley was and only when only when Khalil wasn't

1177
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: available or Mackenzie wasn't available, did they put Beasley back

1178
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: in the game. He was an insurance policy at the end,

1179
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: and that's that's about it. So I think that's where

1180
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: that was. And and you're right if if you're gonna

1181
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: have Josh stan in the pocket and throw the football

1182
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: and not have him run it, and make him more

1183
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: of a pocket guy and do all of that and

1184
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: take a little bit of the burden off him run

1185
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: on the football, yeah, your offensive line needs to be

1186
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: top notch. And I think that's been the right now

1187
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: up in the first couple of weeks here in our

1188
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 1: offseason that we've been going through this the first week

1189
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl. The Bill's offensive line has been

1190
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 1: I think job one for ninety percent of the people

1191
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 1: who've interacted with us. People just want them to get

1192
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: better on their offensive line, and if they do that,

1193
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be market results in the offensive output.

1194
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,919
Speaker 1: I understand where Dick's coming from, though, because we talked

1195
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: about it all season long, the lack of the easy

1196
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: button throws for Josh in the passing game and Cole

1197
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 1: for the previous two or three seasons had been that

1198
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: easy answer, the bailout option, the safety valve, whatever you

1199
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: wanted to call it. Beasley was that for Josh for

1200
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: the better part of the prior three seasons, and when

1201
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: he was not adequately replaced, it prompted them to call

1202
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: him and John Brown back because they knew it didn't

1203
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 1: look the same. And so what you wound up with

1204
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: was an insurance plan that you kind of wanted to

1205
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: use but didn't use maybe enough, because you weren't sure.

1206
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:21,799
Speaker 1: And you're trying to incorporate Khalil Shakier into the mixes

1207
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: you pointed out, and it just turned into this. It

1208
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: turned into a mix that was very difficult to blend

1209
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,719
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, And I think that's why fans

1210
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 1: were commenting this season when they were still winning. But

1211
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: it just didn't look the same. Offense looked a lot

1212
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 1: more difficult to execute. There seemed to be a lot

1213
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,639
Speaker 1: more third and eights and third and nines, and Josh

1214
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: still somehow found a way to convert a lot of those,

1215
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,679
Speaker 1: but it wasn't The third and four is easy button

1216
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 1: to Beasley, all right, first down, Here we go again,

1217
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 1: third and three up, there's Beasley again. Okay, get eleven yards. Okay,

1218
01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: move the sticks again. Here we go, and then write

1219
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: down the field nine place, seventy five yards, touchdown, and

1220
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: you know what it is. He's right. You saw Beasley

1221
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 1: a lot in twenty twenty one, a ton man. He

1222
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 1: was there. He was there. He was there. But don't

1223
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: forget they also had Sanders here along with Davis and Dicks.

1224
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: So it wasn't just Beasley, was Sanders too. And then

1225
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: he's out of the equation, he retires, they don't bring

1226
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: back Beasley. I think they took too much out expecting

1227
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: younger guys to backfill and it just never materialized, right,

1228
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: And that's right, And I think one of the things

1229
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: that made this offense feel different because it was still

1230
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: massively productive. The thing that made it feel differently for

1231
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 1: Bills fans that they didn't like was the fact that

1232
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: there wasn't one guy that said, oh, third down, yeah, okay,

1233
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 1: there's another first down for Beasley. Oh there's another first

1234
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: down for Beasley. Oh there's third and six, Yeah there's Beasley.

1235
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: There was a different guy. It was, you know, Devin

1236
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Singletary Ranford or Josh ran Ford, or it was McKenzie.

1237
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: It was it was a bunch of different guys that

1238
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 1: were getting this third down conversion. Because the Bills were

1239
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: number one of the league getting him, so they did

1240
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: that a lot differently, and you had a bunch of

1241
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: guys helping out rather than those dependable guys that gives

1242
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: fans a little bit of security that hey, we can

1243
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,560
Speaker 1: pick it up and that guy's really good at it.

1244
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: So I think there was I think there was a

1245
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: little bit of a sense for Bills fans they was like, ah,

1246
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: are you know, are we really that good or are

1247
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: we just getting getting by on this? You know, because

1248
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: there was nobody that because it was unpredictable, a little

1249
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: more unpredictable, which is a good thing for an offense

1250
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 1: to be when you're talking about how they attack a defense.

1251
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 1: But for fans it's a little bit disconcerting because they

1252
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: don't know who to depend on. Yeah, you know what

1253
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's one of those things. It looked

1254
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 1: it looked more difficult because he had a different guy

1255
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: doing it every every player, every third down, So it

1256
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: was it's different, and that's something that fans had to

1257
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: get used to. Josh Allen was responsible for seventy nine

1258
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: percent of the Bills offense their total net yards this

1259
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: past season. What should it be in twenty twenty three?

1260
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: And why more the same or less? Back to the

1261
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: phones and to Mark in all the next we got

1262
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: for his Mark, Hey, Brownie, I thank you for taking

1263
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: a call, and I love your guys, show you and

1264
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Scott Steve Um. I just wanted to say, I'm responding to, uh,

1265
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: how much Josh Allen should be you know used in

1266
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: the I mean I think he should be at least

1267
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty percent. He is the man in charge,

1268
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, he does make the you know, get get

1269
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: the ball out there, make the plays and get the

1270
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,560
Speaker 1: guys doing. Guys need to catch the ball and not

1271
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: drop it stuff like that and get open. And another

1272
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 1: thing I just wanted to say is that, I uh,

1273
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: I think that we need a little bit of offensive line.

1274
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 1: We need the guys to open up holes for our

1275
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: running backs because people complain about our running you know,

1276
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: we need the holes there for our guys to get

1277
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: through and make and make plays. And we need some

1278
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,759
Speaker 1: you know, guys at least protect Josh so that he's

1279
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: got a little more time to throw the ball and

1280
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: to make them plays. That that's all all right, thanks, Mark,

1281
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Um. So he's saying less and he

1282
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: would be in the majority, Steve, Because right now our

1283
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:05,520
Speaker 1: poll on one Bills Live, what should Josh Allen's percentage

1284
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: of the total net yards be in twenty twenty three, more,

1285
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: the same, or less than the seventy nine percent was

1286
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Sixty nine percent of respondents are

1287
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: saying it should be less. Yeah. That I don't know though,

1288
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 1: And I see because it seems so hard. You depend

1289
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: on Josh so much that you know it's it's too much.

1290
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 1: But that's the way it is in the league these days.

1291
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's higher than Josh, Joe Burrows higher than Josh.

1292
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes is higher than Josh. Geno Smith is seventy

1293
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: seven point seven percent of the Seahawks yardage. It's just

1294
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: the way it is for a guy who takes all

1295
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: the snaps. That's how high that number is gonna be.

1296
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,560
Speaker 1: In our number in our calculations for total yards, the

1297
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: percentage is Burrows got eighty two percent of it for

1298
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. He leads the league. Josh is number

1299
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: five in the league, behind Mahomes, behind Herbert, behind Burrow

1300
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,600
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady. For a team that never ran the

1301
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 1: football and only threw it, that's just the way it's

1302
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna be, particularly if you're one of those lucky teams

1303
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: that has an elite guy. I mean, that's the way

1304
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. The guy's gonna throw it all over

1305
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: the yard and he's gonna run it if he can.

1306
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: It's and here's the thing too, that guys, you'd like

1307
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: to know what you know, Lamar Jackson didn't finish the season.

1308
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: He missed too many games. Kyler Murray's less than fifty

1309
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: percent of the contributed to the Arizona season because he

1310
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: didn't play all those games. You get these guys that

1311
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 1: can'ts hang in there, and a guy that's six five,

1312
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: two fifty can kind of handle that physical burden and

1313
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: kind of keep in there. You hate to use him,

1314
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: You hate to, you know, ride a good horse into

1315
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: the ground. But man, oh man, that's also kind of

1316
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 1: why you got him, because those guys are capable of

1317
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: throwing it all over the yard and putting a defense

1318
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 1: on notice. You're gonna have to let him do it now, certainly, Josh,

1319
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 1: and the run game has always been a balance. All

1320
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 1: of us have cringed at just a lot like the

1321
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: Baltimore fans are cringing about Lamar Jackson. The guy can't

1322
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: finish the season. It's a it's a balance, but that

1323
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: percentage is not going to go down in my opinion,

1324
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,639
Speaker 1: I don't think so, probably be around the same at least. Yeah,

1325
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: we have to take a break here, But Jim and Rochester,

1326
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: Jim and Easter Roy, you guys hang tight. You're gonna

1327
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: lead us in to the next segment as we have

1328
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls coming your way. Next Here

1329
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kali to Health, It's

1330
01:14:46,920 --> 01:15:06,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, Josh Allen was responsible for

1331
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: seventy nine of the bills total net yards on offense

1332
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:11,600
Speaker 1: this past season. What do you think it should be

1333
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three and why more the same or less?

1334
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: You can tell us at eight oh three, five fifty one,

1335
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty Back to the

1336
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: phones and to Jim in or Rochester for this segment.

1337
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: What you got for his Jim? Hi, guys, I watched

1338
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: the tape. So I've watched the All twenty two for

1339
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 1: the last SAX week. I believe nine of the Jets game,

1340
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 1: I went to that in New York. I had to

1341
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: watch the All twenty two after one to it because

1342
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: that game was ridiculous. One of them. What I saw

1343
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:46,600
Speaker 1: over the last eight games is linebackers. Number one. Linebackers

1344
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: do not respect our play action at all. They're not

1345
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: coming up. It's not working. They're gonna have to look

1346
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: into the RBO game. I believe, Josh, if you under

1347
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: center Moore, it doesn't have to be even you know,

1348
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:07,759
Speaker 1: thirty percent, twenty percent, but get them, get them under center,

1349
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: like you know, go back a little the nineties in

1350
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: early two thousands of Tayton Matting run the power eye

1351
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 1: and do the face on that that automatically we'll bring

1352
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,599
Speaker 1: linebackers up. And number two is I know you already

1353
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 1: know this, but Josh just isn't taken the checked out team.

1354
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: They're there, they're there born because guys, they're playing the

1355
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: cover two shell and back pedaling. They're not respecting the run.

1356
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: So I believe we've got to maybe think about going

1357
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: into a power eye and do it. Maybe putting Gilly him.

1358
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's suited for that, but somebody

1359
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 1: in front of the tailback and run some play action

1360
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 1: that way, get the linebackers coming up because they're not moving.

1361
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 1: They're not It's not respected at all. Um. And the

1362
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: one thing on defense that I noticed too is uh,

1363
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 1: with tern Johnson, teams are scheming to get an ice

1364
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: hole block on him. There's no way. Yeah, I think

1365
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: you're breaking up jim Son. Thanks James, Jim, appreciate the

1366
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: phone call. You make a lot of good points. I

1367
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: don't think this offensive line was suited to a power

1368
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 1: running style. Um. There were some weeks where just controlling

1369
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage was a tall task, and so

1370
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: to ask them to just blow people off the ball

1371
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: with power running, I don't know how realistic that was,

1372
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: which I think is why you didn't see a whole

1373
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: lot of it this past season. I think you are

1374
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right about Josh not taking enough of

1375
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 1: the checkdowns. I don't know why that happened this year.

1376
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 1: He seemed to be a more willing participant in that

1377
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: part of the passing game in previous years. Maybe it

1378
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: was the absence of players like Sanders and Beasley, guys

1379
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: that he inherently trusted to how to fill those roles,

1380
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: and the guys that were brought into larger roles to

1381
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: replace those guys maybe just didn't establish the same kind

1382
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: of rapport. But there were opportunities and Josh just chose

1383
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: not to take them, and hopefully through self scouting and

1384
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,640
Speaker 1: film study, he'll realize that there were yards to be

1385
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: had there that were high percentage type plays that could

1386
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: have kept you on the field moved the sticks, and

1387
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,680
Speaker 1: he chose to take the lower percentage play further down

1388
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 1: the field, which also compromised protection because those are longer

1389
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 1: developing routes. So efficiency could really push this offense forward

1390
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: if Josh is more committed to sticking to it, at

1391
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: least as I see it. Yeah, and when you take

1392
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: those check downs the passes or higher percentage completion rates,

1393
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: you don't turn it over as much. And that's a

1394
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: plus thing as well. It gives you easier first downs

1395
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: and stays ahead of the sticks, if not giving you

1396
01:18:56,080 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: consecutive first downs. Yeah. As for Josh going under center,

1397
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I don't know. I think the whole league

1398
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 1: is moving away from guys going under center. It's more

1399
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: of an afterthought for most clubs anyway, because what because

1400
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: it's a throwing league anyway. So if you go under

1401
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: center and you start running it, um, teams are going

1402
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 1: to counter that. And you're right, the linebackers are going

1403
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 1: to come down because they're gonna stop your run game. Um.

1404
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: If you if they don't play, if they don't respect

1405
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: your play action, you should be able to run it

1406
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: better than the Bills were able to. Um, because they're

1407
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:37,040
Speaker 1: getting a late jump on it. So yeah, all that

1408
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: stuff goes into the mixture, right. Um at the the

1409
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: stuff about going into power eye and all that, you know,

1410
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: I that's a step back for me in time. Um,

1411
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's innovative, not that not that

1412
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: old stuff doesn't work nowadays, but I think it's a

1413
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: it's a league that's that's blown way past lining up

1414
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 1: and out muscling guys. That's why run defense is more

1415
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: about gap integrity than it is about physicality anymore. That's

1416
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:12,879
Speaker 1: why the Bills can play nickel defense with tarn Johnson,

1417
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: and he got teams scheming up three hundred pounders pulling

1418
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: around inside of him, and the Bills got a good

1419
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: run defense. Anyway. You can't get the Bills out of

1420
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 1: their nickel defense, and the reason is because they got

1421
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson. He's a scrappy, competitive, smart slot defender who

1422
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,560
Speaker 1: can get down in the box and get dirty. He

1423
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mind going in submarining offensive lineman, coming out knowing

1424
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,640
Speaker 1: that the rest of the defense is gonna get it.

1425
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Their run defense was better this year than it was

1426
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 1: a year ago, and that's mostly because of the defensive tackles.

1427
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 1: So you're right. The All twenty two will tell you

1428
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: some things mostly in them and even for you know

1429
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:56,720
Speaker 1: jamokes like me and Brownie, you can look and see, well,

1430
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 1: why did he should have thrown it here? You know

1431
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 1: when he's when he's launching it down the field, he's

1432
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 1: hanging onto it in the pocket you've got options underneath,

1433
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 1: and I know that, you know, guys like Ken Dorsey

1434
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 1: and Joe Brady are telling him that. And one other

1435
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: thing that Mike mentioned, he said, oh, they should get

1436
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: to the RPO game more. They ran RPOs a good

1437
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:18,640
Speaker 1: amount of them, as a matter of fact, through the

1438
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: course of the season. So it's not like this offense

1439
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: was devoid of the RPO game at all. They ran

1440
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 1: a good deal of that. Quite frankly, they ran more

1441
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: of that. In the absence of being able to execute

1442
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 1: a consistent screen game. They turned to the RPOs more

1443
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: often to kind of make up for some of that

1444
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: that we saw through the course of the season. Let's

1445
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: get back to the phones though. On we go to

1446
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: Jim in East Aurora, NEX. What do you got for us? Jim, Hey, guys,

1447
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 1: I was just commenting on the Super Bowl how much

1448
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 1: I enjoyed watching the line play, the offensive line play,

1449
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: especially of the Eagles. If in the play in particular

1450
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: that was very nice is when they took on Jones

1451
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: and the body served them back about four yards where

1452
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 1: he just if you every play that they ran, you

1453
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 1: would watch him and they would get solo to off

1454
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 1: the ground. They would probably foot off the ground and

1455
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 1: they would just keep plowing forward. And if you get

1456
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 1: a line play like that, you're running game is automatically

1457
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,679
Speaker 1: going to be better. And the only time I worry

1458
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: about Josh getting hurt is not when he faces the

1459
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: safeties and the defensive backs, but when he takes the

1460
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: pounding that he does from the defensive lineman and from

1461
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: the linebackers. We need offensive lineman. It can get into

1462
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: that second level and wipe those linebackers out of there.

1463
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't think we have enough of that going on.

1464
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: And if they fix, if they beefuck that line, I

1465
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: think a lot of their problems will be solved and

1466
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: you'll you'll see a big difference not only in the

1467
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 1: running game, but Josh in his ability to check down.

1468
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,679
Speaker 1: I think that'll come around. Also, thank you for taking

1469
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: the family call. All right, thanks Jim. Yeah, Okay, I

1470
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 1: don't really Yeah, it's yeah, I'm kind of okay with that. Yeah, yeah,

1471
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I think a lot of people that

1472
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 1: are voting that Josh represent less of the total net

1473
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: yards on offense next year are concerned about as well being.

1474
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the that's the main driving force of

1475
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: that vote. And then the other half of that voting

1476
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:38,759
Speaker 1: party wants to run the ball more right with somebody

1477
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: other than Josh. Well, that's true. And when you worry

1478
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: about Josh the well being you know why is because

1479
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: if he gets hurt and he has to come out

1480
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: of the game, you know, you're pretty much sunk. Yeah,

1481
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I like case Keenum, great guy, but he

1482
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: ain't Josh nobody. You know, that's it. There's gonna be

1483
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: a big drop off. You're gonna have to change everything

1484
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: if case Keenum comes on and starts taking nap. Now

1485
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: he's a free agent, so whoever it's gonna be this

1486
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 1: next year, they gotta get a guy. I get it.

1487
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 1: But that's the way it's gonna be. As long as

1488
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 1: you have that guy's your quarterback, you're gonna he's gonna

1489
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 1: be at risk because he's gonna play football, and that's

1490
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 1: what it is, that's what the game is. So I'm

1491
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm there. I he's gonna be the guy. He's gonna

1492
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: be the reason you win. He's gonna be the reason

1493
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:25,760
Speaker 1: you lose no matter how this goes. And if he's

1494
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: not on the field, yeah, we're all on the same boat. Yeah,

1495
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, going forward. We still know he's going to

1496
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 1: be the identity of the offense. That much is obvious,

1497
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of what people are asking for.

1498
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:44,879
Speaker 1: All that gets easier if you invest in your offensive

1499
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: line in the draft, probably even more so than in

1500
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 1: free agency, knowing some of the cap constraints that the

1501
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 1: team's dealing with. That's not to say they can't sign

1502
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: offensive lineman in free agency. I'm sure they will in

1503
01:24:56,400 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: some capacity, but it feels like the organization is being

1504
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: prompted based on some of the results and the successes

1505
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: of some of the teams they got the furthest in

1506
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That making those investments there in the draft

1507
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: with rookie contracts to get affordable labor, is paying dividends

1508
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 1: for those clubs. It's it has always been important, and

1509
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: we always get reminded of it at different times. After

1510
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: Josh's rookie season, we were like, man, we got to

1511
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 1: get him some offensive linemen. And they started doing that

1512
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 1: right away. That's why, you know, the second year they

1513
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs and they even got better after that.

1514
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: So with free agency and with guys they drafted, it

1515
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 1: has they have continued to try and bolster that, and

1516
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 1: I know that this last year they did a nice

1517
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: job of it. Really they brought in a ton of

1518
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: guys that could really play, as Saffold and Kessonbury were

1519
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: really good catches on the free agent market. They had

1520
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,360
Speaker 1: Baits but Girt coming back from an injury, along with

1521
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, Spencer Brown, Tommy Doyle and of course Mitch

1522
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: Morris and Ryan Bates. I mean that a ton of

1523
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: guys in the room that really looked like they were

1524
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 1: gonna be good. And then you know, you get to

1525
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: the end of the season and you know, you know,

1526
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 1: guys that are long in the tooth kind of taper off.

1527
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think they've forgotten how important the offensive

1528
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 1: line has proven to be over the course of Josh

1529
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 1: Allen's career, and I don't think they're going to forget

1530
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: it this offseason. Yeah, So, I know the votes are

1531
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: heavily in favor of pulling down his total yardage responsibility

1532
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: in terms of the offense is total in that yards.

1533
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,640
Speaker 1: But I know Steve's in this boat. Based on what

1534
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: we've discussed the last two hours, it's probably gonna be

1535
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 1: around the same going forward. And I saw and we'll

1536
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet here in the final segment,

1537
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: one of the better ones that I saw was we

1538
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need more of Josh Allen. We just need

1539
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 1: better Josh Allen, and that's taking the check downs and

1540
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 1: making more of the high percentage plays to keep the

1541
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 1: offense on the field to score even more points. It's

1542
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee said it a ton when they were playing.

1543
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 1: He was they kept getting turned away in the playoffs.

1544
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 1: You know there's eight years before Peyton Manning won a

1545
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But he said, listen, we're doing a little

1546
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 1: everything right. We just need to do what we do better.

1547
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 1: And that's a little bit of where the bills are.

1548
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 1: It's not a sexy answering. People don't want to hear it.

1549
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: They wanted to see some changes, but they need to

1550
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:28,840
Speaker 1: do what they do and do it a little bit

1551
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 1: better to go a little bit further and get to

1552
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and win it. They are doing a

1553
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 1: ton of stuff. We've seen it over the last five year.

1554
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 1: We talk about it all the time. They are doing

1555
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: a ton of stuff right. Just don't start doing stuff wrong.

1556
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 1: Fair enough, we'll take a break here, get some final

1557
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet next year, on One Bill's

1558
01:27:47,680 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 1: Live Stay tuned all right, Josh Allen represents seventy nine

1559
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 1: percent of the team's total net yards from the twenty

1560
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 1: twenty two season. Should it be more about the same

1561
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:13,560
Speaker 1: or less for next season? You can tell us, but

1562
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:15,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the tweet sheet now brought to

1563
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1564
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. One of our listeners asked what

1565
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 1: was mahomes percentage. He was a half a percent ahead

1566
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: of Josh at seventy nine point seven percent, so right

1567
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 1: in the same general vicinity. William on the tweet sheet says,

1568
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 1: seventy nine percent a recipe for disaster. Josh is just

1569
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:36,720
Speaker 1: one good hit away from an injury that puts an

1570
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 1: entire season in jeopardy. If there's one player the Bills

1571
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 1: can't afford to lose, it's him. He needs more help

1572
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 1: from the players around him. Jack says, I don't want

1573
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 1: him to have to do more, but also don't want

1574
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 1: an offense that's run base. Despite a bad day in

1575
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 1: January numbers on offense, we're good this year. They won

1576
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 1: fourteen games, and that's largely due to seventeen If he

1577
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 1: cuts down i nts and they run effectively. They should

1578
01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 1: be a bear to stop. Tank says less, get creative

1579
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 1: and get the ball and cook and hind's hands so

1580
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: defenses don't tee off on sacking the QB causing Josh

1581
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 1: to take off running all the time, and Gazaker says

1582
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: the same, only with less running and more passing, Josh

1583
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 1: could and should lead the league. It ain't gonna get less, folks, No,

1584
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 1: it's not. All the top quarterbacks in the league, including

1585
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, run or a ton involved in the yards

1586
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: that their team gets by throwing the football. Obviously, and

1587
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 1: whether you run it or throw it, I can get

1588
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 1: behind saying hey needs to run less and throw more.

1589
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm all about that, and you can start handing it

1590
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 1: to other guys to do most of the running for you.

1591
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 1: But this all gets us back to where we were

1592
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: to get we're today and every day, get your own

1593
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,719
Speaker 1: line together. Run it better. Luke summed it up. Purpose,

1594
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:53,559
Speaker 1: Luke summed it up perfectly. Get more protection and more weapons,

1595
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: and Josh can produce more with less risk. Oh look

1596
01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: at that smart way to sum it up for us.

1597
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 1: It only took u us two hours we'll see you

1598
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 1: tomorrow at one mmmmm
