1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Those first two games, they count. That wasn't preseason. They count. 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: They matter. The Bills won both of them, setting themselves 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: up well with a good start this season. But this 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: one matters even more, doesn't it? The home opener, the 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: Archer Park debut of the twenty nineteen Buffalo Bills. This 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: one is invested with hype.

The Bills 12 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: strike first and Alan runs to his right, looks to 13 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: his right, crows to his right.

He's in trouble. Back there, 19 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: Josh tries to get away from its fires downfield.

It makes a broadcast better, makes these Monday 54 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: mornings better. A lot of smiles around the building today. 55 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: Three and O fields pretty good. I tell everybody. My predecessor, 56 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: my late friend Van Miller, used to say this all 57 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: the time, Murph. When they're winning we're the greatest announcers 58 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: in the world, and he was right right. It felt 59 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: that way right at last twenty four hours or so. Absolutely, 60 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: and the suspense of these of yesterday made the broadcast 61 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: a ton of fun. And through the preseason we kept 62 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: saying and you kept telling me, you know, it's gonna 63 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: be a lot more fun in the regular season because 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: the game's become climac did not anti climact, not to 65 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: downgrade the players that are playing on the field at 66 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: the end of the preseason games, but in the NFL games, 67 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: most of the games are close, so they get more 68 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: suspenseful as they go. And it's been fun to be 69 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: on the call the last few weeks with you. We 70 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: got a great show here, Steve and I here with 71 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: Eric for the first hour, and I want to kick 72 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: things off this way, Eric and get Steve involved in 73 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: this two. But you said something yesterday which sort of 74 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: resonated with me throughout the night as I thought back 75 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: about to win about how I think the word you 76 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: might have used was resourceful. They find ways to win. 77 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 1: They won three different ways this year so far. It's 78 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: not as yeah, they're not killing anybody, they're not steamrolling people, 79 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: but they're being they're finding a way to win, which 80 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: is basically how you put together a successful NFL season. 81 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: It seems to me absolutely and you're never going to 82 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: play a perfect game in the NFL. It's very rare 83 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: to have blowouts in the NFL, so you have to 84 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: learn to win in this league. In the early nineties, 85 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: when you guys were winning and making Super Bowls each week, 86 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: if you fell down in the game, it was we're fine. 87 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: We have so much talent on this team, we're so good. 88 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: We've done it before, we can do it again. Well, 89 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: with the Bill struggling last season, having a six and 90 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: ten record, a lot of young guys on the team 91 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: for that time, it's so important early in the season, 92 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: and it's so huge that they've won in three different fashions. 93 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: For later in the season, they can always revert back 94 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: to those games. Hey, we were down fourteen to nothing 95 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: against the Jets on the road, we come back and win. 96 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: Week two, we built a lead on the road, and 97 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: then yes we stalled out, but we held on and 98 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: we put them away. And then yesterday fourteen nothing, they 99 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: blow the lead and then late in the game they 100 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: come back, and you could always revert back to those 101 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: times and think we've done it before, we can do 102 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: it again. Yeah, and this team they did that too. 103 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: Yesterday was probably the best team they faced this season. 104 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: The Bengals had an experienced quarterback who when they got desperate, 105 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: when they were behind the eight ball coming out of 106 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: the second half, they had You told me, Murphy, you're right. 107 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: Seven penalties in the first half for the Bengals. One 108 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: in the second half. They beared down and got they 109 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: got some things together. H Tyler Boyd became a factor 110 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: in the second half. The Bill's defense was forced to 111 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: do some things by this offense of the Bengals that 112 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: they didn't have to do in the first half. That 113 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: to defend the run and the play action. They you know, 114 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: the play action became a bigger factor for them, and 115 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: they just put more stress on them and the Bills 116 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: you know offense, you know, they they did not stay 117 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: on the field well enough in the second half, so 118 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: it started to look like it was going to get 119 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: away from them. But then two, I don't know what 120 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: it is about it, Josh Allen and this offense seemed 121 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: to play good in crunch time. They do seem to 122 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: play well in crunch time in the fourth quarter. They 123 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: do seem to have something in the tank when the 124 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: chips are down. I think it's a good thing, but 125 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: it's you know, good and bad. They've they've had to 126 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: go to the well a couple of times here in 127 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: the early going of the season. They have. And it's 128 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: incredible to have a quarterback right now in a second 129 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: year that has the moxie in the fourth quarter with 130 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: the game on the line, that says, give me the ball, 131 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: I'll make the play with my legs. His play where 132 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: he escaped the pocket, he breaks away. A lot of quarterbacks, 133 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: they probably would have ruled that play dead as soon 134 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: as he was grasps the refs, Thank god, let that 135 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: play go and he scrambles out down to the eight 136 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: yard line to set up the touchdown drive. But two 137 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: original point about this was probably the best team that 138 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: the Bill has played so far. You're probably right, and 139 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: people will look at the Bengals and say they're oh 140 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: and three. But the Bengals came in with a number 141 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: two passing attack in the NFL and Joe mix. It 142 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: had struggled through two weeks of the season, only averaging 143 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: thirteen point five yards per game. But he was the 144 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: AFC leading rusher last season, and they gave Seattle all 145 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: they could handle in Week one at Seattle, which is 146 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: incredibly tough place to play, and then they come in 147 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: yesterday with an experienced quarterback. That environment yesterday was absolutely 148 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: incredible and rattles a lot of quarterbacks in this league. 149 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: But Andy Dalton in his ninth season, has played in 150 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: a lot of games with an atmosphere like that, So 151 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: they were poised and they gave the Bills all they 152 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: could handle down the stretch, and the Bills earned a 153 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: victory at the end of the game to get the 154 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: three and Oh.

Thank? Yeah, 173 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: you got too many reads going. I know you have 174 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: two between the broadcast and now these reads and number three. 175 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: It's hard to keep duh. But what did you like 176 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: and what did you dislike? And you need at least 177 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: one of each? Maybe you got more on one side 178 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: or the other. But let us know. One thing about 179 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the Bengals is Steven Eric and i'll I'll start with you. 180 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: Um there is Eric pointed out Dalton is he's not great. 181 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: He's a capable quarterback of veteran quarterback, was not rattled 182 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: by the atmosphere here. He's got all kinds of weaponry 183 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: in the passing game. He's got Joe Mixon, who we 184 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: knew was better than his performance in the first two games. 185 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: And there they are with the first half that was awful, 186 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: producing nothing. It made sense that they would come back, right. 187 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they know what owen three means. What is 188 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: it we're talking about last week? Three percent chance to 189 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: make the playoffs and you're owen three. They know what 190 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: that means. They were a desperate team and they played 191 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: like it, and I think it kind of took the 192 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: Bills back on their heels a little bit. And I'll 193 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: tell you this, one of the things we noticed in 194 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: the offseason two years ago the Bills offense with Tyrod Tender, 195 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: they never turned it over and they kind of ground 196 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: out a lot of ten They were in tight games 197 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: a lot in the Bills defense faced a lot of 198 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: teams that felt like they had to score some points. 199 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: That turned out a lot of turnover and he saw 200 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: the result of that yesterday. There was a lot of 201 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: chances to Davious White two interceptions, and then we had 202 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: also the forced fumble. You get you get teams that 203 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: are playing a little bit on the ragged edge of 204 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: what they're capable of because they're desperate to score points 205 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: or get back in a ball game where the Bills 206 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: have a lead, those turnovers start to happen like that 207 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: when when you get into games like that, and that's 208 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: those are big plays. And of course the Bills you know, 209 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: gave it back to him a couple of times. I've 210 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: yelled and coughed one up, and of course Josh threw 211 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: the ugly interception almost it was almost I say, I 212 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: say it was worse than the Detroit interception in the 213 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: preseason right when it mattered. But it was also it 214 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: was just as dumb too. I mean, you know, you 215 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: got to throw that ball into the third row and 216 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: he didn't get it done. All of that stuff said, 217 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: the Bengals were on the ropes and that's why not 218 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: only did they have a lot of statistical success in 219 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: their passing game in that second half, that's why they also, 220 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, we're thrown around. It was tip balls, batted balls, 221 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: and you know, fumbles and interceptions as well. Because the 222 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: Bill's offense had put them in a position to be 223 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: down double digit scores, they got to do something to 224 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: get back in it. And the NFL teams are gonna 225 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: get some things done when their backs are to the wall. 226 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna try some things, and they're good enough to 227 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: make it happen. And that's one of the reasons they 228 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: climbed back into this game. They got some help from 229 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: the Bills, and they made some hay for themselves when 230 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: they were desperate. Josh's game plenty of you can find 231 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: plenty of things wrong with it, you know, Unlike the 232 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: turnovers he had in the Jets game. There was at 233 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: least one and maybe two yesterday that were bad decision making, 234 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: which kind of alarms us, all right, because you know 235 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: he's a young guy. But what the fourteen NFL starts. 236 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: But on the part I try to explain to somebody 237 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: on the radio today, here they are again, fourth quarter 238 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: and the override. First time I met him, essentially, I 239 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: realized what a competitive fire burns in Josh Allen, and 240 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: that fire he can turn the switch on and bring 241 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: you back. He's done it a couple times now in 242 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: the first three games. Yeah, you just hope that as 243 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: Josh Allen matures and plays more, that the risk you 244 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: decision and get less and less. But I played with 245 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks in Buffalo that were very maligned 246 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: in this town for being too conservative. So you almost 247 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: have to take the good with the bad, and naturally 248 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,359 Speaker 1: he has a gunslinger mentality. And you mentioned his competitiveness 249 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: and that comes on full display with the game on 250 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: the line, to scrambles, the plays he makes out of 251 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: the pocket. What he's willing to put his body through 252 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: on a Sunday to get a win shows each and 253 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: every week, and you have to take some of the 254 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: good with the bad. But he'll learn. He gets that 255 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: really bad intentional grounding that takes away points and then 256 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: he throws that bad interception. In the second half, he 257 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: almost throws another interception trying to take the top off 258 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: the defense. To Robert Foster and Sean mcdermoy would always say, 259 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: you either win in this league or you learn. You know, 260 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: you're not necessarily losing if you're learning from your mistakes, 261 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: and you could constantly get better. He's all about the 262 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: growth mindset of a team of an individual. Well, it's 263 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: very nice to learn from wins as well. And so 264 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: the Bills are three and oz and you're never gonna 265 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: play a perfect game. I mentioned that we always use 266 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: to say his offensive lineman, you'd get really upset when 267 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: you get beat, but we would say, hey, these guys 268 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: get paid too, you know, they get paid to play 269 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: this game for a living as well. But it's great 270 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: that we can that, I say, we that Josh can 271 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: learn from some of these mistakes with wins, and you 272 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: just hope that each week he grows and doesn't repeat mistakes. 273 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: But we saw, you know, I've heard fans and media 274 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: personalities say he plays hero ball, and sometimes the hero 275 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: ball is great. We saw him throw it pass to 276 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: Dawson or sorry to Tommy Sweeney that a lot of 277 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks wouldn't attempt off their back foot, and it hit 278 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney and the chess was almost a touchdown right now, 279 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: that's a risky throw there too. So you don't want 280 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: them to completely dial back all of his playmaking ability. 281 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: You just would like to see some of it getting 282 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: tightened up. Yeah, that's the thing I equated to a 283 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: roller coaster. You the highs are great if you can 284 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: cut off the bottom loop there in your performance and 285 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: just get rid of you keep all the highs, but 286 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: just get rid of the mistakes. You know, certainly you 287 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: got as everything. It's still a roller coaster, but you 288 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: got to cut out those bottom the bottoms, you know, 289 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: And when he does that when he gets away from 290 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: the silly throw or whatever. And also too, the running 291 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: that he did yesterday. They had a lot of design runs, 292 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: no question, a lot of times when he took some 293 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: shots that didn't need to take. I think it's a 294 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: young quarterback when you're twenty three, Okay, I'll live with 295 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: that once in a while. But by the same token, 296 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: you know, the longer you want him to play, the 297 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: less and less and less of that he's gonna need 298 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: to do, because his mind will catch up to him 299 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: and he'll be able to stand in the pocket make 300 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: decisions that get the ball out of there more so 301 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: than him break and contain and having to make something 302 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: happen with his legs. Plus, you know they're not gonna 303 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: have when you're twenty three, they'll make some design runs 304 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: for you. When you're twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty, they're 305 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna be designed and run plays for the for the 306 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: quarterback anymore. And I agree with that completely, And I 307 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: think Josh Allen will get to a point where if 308 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: it is a crucial third down, yes, try and get 309 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: the first at the expense of taking a shot, even 310 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: on a designed quarterback run. Though a slide is a 311 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 1: win at the end of the play, A slide is 312 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: a win. A twenty yard game is great, but a 313 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: slide is a win because your chances of winning football 314 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: games in the National Football League with a backup quarterback 315 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: go down tremendously, and that is historical. And Matt Barkley 316 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: is a very capable backup. But if he doesn't play 317 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: it down this year for the Buffalo Bills, that'll be 318 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: a great thing because that means Josh Allen stayed healthy 319 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: and is having a great years. So I say that 320 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: with the game on the line in the fourth quarter, 321 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: I loved that he went for the end zone, that 322 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: they ran a designed quarterback run to get down to 323 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: the one yard line on the read option play, that 324 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: he scrambled and broke out and got them down to 325 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: the eight yard line. But early in the game in 326 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: the first quarter, I don't know that there's a situation 327 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: where I think it's appropriate for him to take a 328 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: big shot, right. Steve and I am Eric Wood in 329 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: studio with us for this first hour of the show. 330 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: Give us a call if you want to discuss eight 331 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two 332 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: fifty sending a tweet.

Offensive line play yesterday 336 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: and there's plenty of people looking at what Josh did 337 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: and finding fault, but a second half especially, he was 338 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: under duress and it was the guys we knew about 339 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: and talked about, Carlos Dunlap and Gino Atkins. Hubbard had 340 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: a really good, strong game for them. Billings on the inside. 341 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: They were getting after, they were getting after Josh A. 342 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: Lott and having success, kind of forcing him into some 343 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: of those bad decisions. I thought the Bengals front four 344 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: is great upfront. Yeah, Billings is a capable rusher. I 345 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: mentioned on air yesterday that he's a squad yability six one. 346 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: He's listened at three twenty eight. He might be closer 347 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: to three fifty than he is three twenty, but he's 348 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: a capable rusher himself. Gino Atkins is a Pro bowler 349 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: every single year, All Pro a number of times. Carlos 350 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: Dunlap is a great rusher and his size can be 351 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: it could be shocking. He has extremely long arms, but 352 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: he's also strong, he's smart. He's in his tenth year now, 353 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: ninth or tenth year, he's experienced. These rushers are good. 354 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: Hubbard in the second year out of a high state 355 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: a very good rusher. So they have a number of 356 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: good rushers that they can bring it to the table. 357 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: And it's a tough test. And Cody Ford got exposed 358 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: a little bit early in the game working against Dunlap. 359 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: I thought Dion Dawkins did a pretty good job against him, 360 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: because that could be a tough matchup. Even when Cordy 361 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: Glenn was playing at an exceptional level here, we played 362 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: a number of games against Cincinnati where either Michael Johnson 363 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: or Carlos Dunlap would give him some fits. So I 364 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: thought Dion did good. But that's a that's a good 365 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: front and you and you saw it yesterday and they 366 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: were able to pressure Josh Allen and they caused some 367 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: arid throws, they caused the intentional grounding, essentially caused the 368 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: throwaway interception, and a number of that you can give 369 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: credit to the Bengals front four. And I'll tell you 370 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: this too. One thing and we're kind of mentioning all 371 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: the kind of problems to Bengals defense proposed to the 372 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offense. One thing I did kind of like 373 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: and have liked throughout the first week, and he's getting 374 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: some kudos forward his Ryan da Boles game plan. We 375 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: saw Dawson Knoxby featured a little bit yesterday on a catch. 376 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: He had one drop that would have been a phenomenal 377 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: catchdown inside the five, but he also had the sweep 378 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: where he picked it, he ran, and he had the 379 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: angry run in the fifty one yard or on the 380 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: game winning drive he had to touchdown pass early and 381 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: then they did that without Devin Singletary in the lineup. 382 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: T j Yelden came in had a costly fumble, but 383 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: he also did some things later on in the game. 384 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: Frank Gore continues to do it. But I like the 385 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: game plan of the offense going into these games because 386 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: it seems to me they're doing what a lot of 387 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: really good teams do, which is they have the ability 388 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: to change their identity from week to week. And I 389 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: thought that was that's really the most encouraging thing going forward, 390 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: is that they've found different ways to have offensive success 391 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: with different guys being featured. I agree. I think Brian 392 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: day Ball has done an exceptional job through three weeks, 393 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: and I know he's excited to play his former team, 394 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots this week, and I'll have another great game 395 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: plan ahead of him. In a conversation that I had 396 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: with day Ball in the preseason, he was telling me 397 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: it could be overwhelming the amount that they install in 398 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: fall camp, because through Brian Dayball's offense, they essentially have 399 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: zone runs, man runs, power runs, everything you could possibly 400 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: think of. They have so many different schemes that it 401 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: could be overwhelming on guys. It could be overwhelming on 402 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: coaches that come into this offense to learn it themselves 403 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: and to teach it. But once you install it all 404 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 1: in fall camp, now you have all of that at 405 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: your disposal through the season, and not all of that's 406 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: up week to week. You have certain game plan things. 407 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: But what it also allows you to do is if 408 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: you're struggling into the first half, you can even revert 409 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: back to it a halftime and get plays in for 410 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: the second half that you installed in fall camp. And 411 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: I loved. One of the things I loved yesterday was 412 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: one of the Bengal's biggest weaknesses is their run defense, 413 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: and a lot of that's on the edges because their 414 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: linebackers are not super fast. Preston Brown was here. He's 415 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: an excelemental linebacker, very productive, but he's not super fast. 416 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: Loudly neither his vigil. What the Bills came into yesterday 417 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: was they lost their fast running back. They did not 418 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: have Devin Singletary. Well, how do you how do you 419 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: get that edge back through the jet sweeps through the 420 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: end a rounds. We saw John Brown have his first 421 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: end of the end A round of the season. This year, 422 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: you saw Ozam McKenzie. You even see Dawson Knox, who 423 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: who's a fast tight end. So they stress the edges 424 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: because Yelden and Gore, although very good running backs, are 425 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: not burners on the outside. So I love that Brian 426 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: day Ball said, Okay, well, how do we manufacture those 427 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: outside runs. How do we manufacture runs to the outside 428 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: of the defense through the end A rounds. Let's get 429 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: mackenzie more involved and all that, and I thought it 430 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: was just an excellent game plan. And one of the 431 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: things I love most about day Ball's offense is week 432 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: to week, and I try and mention it through the broadcast. 433 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: When I see it, you'll see exact same formations, exact 434 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: same looks, exact same motions. And now this week it's 435 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: a different play. So as a defender, you can no 436 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: longer trust your film study because each week it's changing up. 437 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: Got Eric with us until one o'clock today. You're welcome 438 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: to join. His phone lines open at eight o three 439 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two 440 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: five fifty. Let's take a few calls. We'd love to 441 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: hear from me what you like about yesterday's game, what 442 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: you did not like, And we'll start with Nathan in California. 443 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: Hello Nathan, go ahead, you're on the air. Hey, what's up, guys? 444 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: How are you doing? Okay? Great? I love. What I 445 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: love about the game yesterday is going into the fourth quarter, 446 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: you could clearly see the momentum shifting from the Bills 447 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: to the Bengals. And see if you can probably talk 448 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: to this. I just noticed as the fourth quarter went along, 449 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: the Bills did a great job of getting that momentum 450 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: back in their favor, and I know that can be 451 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: really difficult. What I didn't like specifically for that game 452 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: yesterday was, you know, we kept hearing how bad their 453 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: offensive line was. I know he did a pretty good 454 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: job in the first half of limiting Dalton, but in 455 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: the second half they clearly made some adjustments and I 456 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: thought we were going to have a little bit more 457 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: pressure on on Dalton. But otherwise, it's so great to see. 458 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: You can physically see with your eyes the progress that 459 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: Nan Dermot and McBean are making within the building and 460 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: it's showing up on the field. It's often to get 461 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: too far ahead of ourselves, but you look thirteen games left. 462 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: You got to think if we went seven of thirteen, 463 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: we're good to go for the tournament this year. What 464 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: do you think about his first point about yeah, momentum momentum. Yeah, 465 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,239 Speaker 1: I agree, it does take a little bit to get 466 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: the momentum back. I mean, once you've lost it, you 467 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: got to flip that switch. What it really takes to 468 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: get momentum back? And Eric, I see if you agree 469 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: with me. You just need somebody to make a play. 470 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: You need somebody to do something big that costs the 471 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: other team field position or drive or a three and out, 472 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: gets their offense off the field, puts your offense back 473 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: on the field, and once you get somebody to do that. 474 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: Then you follow it up, somebody else makes another play 475 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: in succession or very close after that, and then lo 476 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: and behold the momentum back in your favor. And that's 477 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: really what it comes down. I think that's one of 478 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: the things I like about Josh. You never know when 479 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: the guy's gonna go off the page, tuck the ball 480 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: under his arm and get a fifteen yard run for 481 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: a first down, or in this case yesterday, Dawson Knox 482 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: catches a corner route and runs through the Bengals defense 483 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: like it's their tall weeds. You know, I mean, it's unbelievable. 484 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: Those are the kind of thing that grabs the momentum back. 485 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: But it really comes down just not really strategic or anything. 486 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: Somebody's got to do something, and that's what momentum is. Absolutely, 487 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: you hit, You hit the nail on the head. And 488 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: with as loud as the crowd was coming out of 489 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: the half yesterday, John made a great point the first 490 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: drive for the opposing team out of the half is 491 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: often the easiest drive on the road because the fans 492 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: aren't all back. The NFL halftimes are short. You know, 493 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm calling college games on Saturday I feel like the 494 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: halftime lasts forever and it's only five minutes more. But 495 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: I feel like it lasts forever and it's just five minutes. Yeah, 496 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's cut down by five minutes. Well, 497 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: that's twenty five percent thirty three percent increase to college 498 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: in the halftime. So halftimes are short. Well, the fans 499 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: can't all get back. So the Bengals took advantage of 500 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: that early in the third quarter. They were able to 501 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: manufacture some drives with the crowd out of it, and 502 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: it caused a little bit of a law But you're right, 503 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: you make you have some Josh Allen plays, and I 504 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: thought it was it was a small thing. But on 505 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: that last drive, Frank Gore starts to drive off with 506 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: a nine yard run and even though the drive Priory 507 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: started to drive with a plus ten yard carry. Those 508 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: are huge to start to drive because as the Bengals 509 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: were scoring, Frank Gore leads off two drives with very 510 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: productive runs and gets them set up for success and steals. 511 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: As we are talking about a little bit of that 512 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: momentum back. Yeah, that first drive after the half, the 513 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: Bills come out offensively and they had five straight runs 514 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: their first in their first series, one with a three 515 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: yard than a fifteen yarder, than a five yarder, than 516 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: a four yard or so. They snapped off some good runs, 517 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: but they only had five more because on the third 518 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: and one they got stuff for a three yard loss. 519 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: And it's those situational plays to kind of keep you 520 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: on the field. And I think that this week it's 521 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: going to be a big difference maker third down. The 522 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: Patriot defense is phenomenal on third down. They get teams 523 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: off the field. It's hard to stay on the field. 524 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: If you can get if you can keep the drive alive, 525 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: you got a chance. The Patriots are really good in 526 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: situational football. And Sean McDermott, now I think he's been 527 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: on that bandwagon all through the offseason. He said, listen, 528 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna be better at the situational football. When you know, 529 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: two minute drills, no huddle drills coming out, you know, 530 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: going in red zone and also third downs, so all 531 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: the situational football becomes so important. And then this game, 532 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: you know, you know, first drive out of halftime, they're 533 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: always so important because that's when you make your adjustments. 534 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: You got a chance, right, and they get stuffed on 535 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: a third and one and they come after come off 536 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: the field pretty quick stephen I could only laugh. We 537 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: we took. I took a look at the you know 538 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: the rankings after three games, Patriots three and oh okay, 539 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: number one in defense number they lead in ten different 540 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: defensive categories. Wow, total yards against, rushing yards against, passing 541 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: yards against. Their number one of the league per Senne 542 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: had intercepted uh first downs per game, third down efficiency 543 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: points per game. They lead in every single significant defensive category. 544 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: They are the NFL leaders. Now. They haven't played anybody. 545 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: We know that they played the Steelers where Ben Roethlisberg 546 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: came out of the game, Dolphins and the Jets with 547 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: Luke Falk for the Jets. But and was it Josh 548 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: Rosen for the Dolphins when they played or was it 549 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: fits well both? There you go.

Dotson knocks running after the catch, knocking 585 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: down Bengals along the way. What a huge play. That 586 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: was maybe the biggest play of the game right yesterday, 587 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: the big forty nine yard to catch and run after 588 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: the catch by our next guest, Dawson Knoxvill's rookie tight 589 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: end in studio with his congratulations on to win, Congratulations 590 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: on to play. That's a big one. Oh thank you. 591 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: That was fun. The crowd was amazing. We could feel 592 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: the energy the whole game. What have you heard from 593 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: people about that? Playing about the stiff arm and making 594 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: all um you know, I really didn't realize what it 595 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: looked like on TV. Um but there's been some people 596 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: like messing with me saying, you know, we'll watch out 597 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: on you know, don't touch me. It's not a bad thing. Yeah, 598 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: asking why I was angry and stuff. But the funny 599 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: thing is the kickoff return right before that, I got 600 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: blown up and it kind of kind of made me mad. 601 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: So you were like, yeah, a little frustration run. So 602 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: it wasn't angry run as a frustration run, right, Yeah, right, 603 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: pretty nice. Yeah that's good. So that was a little 604 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: corner route that you kind of got some opportunities in 605 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: this game. You were kind of maybe a centerpiece. You 606 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: got the touchdown early, you had this play. You also 607 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: had the chance on the on the almost the same 608 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: play the other side going down and he couldn't connect 609 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: on it with Josh and he had the end the 610 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: jet sweep as well. Did you know that going in? 611 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: Did you say, hey, listen, we need you because we 612 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: you know, Devin Singletary's out of for whatever reason. Um, 613 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: you know, honestly, it didn't feel a whole lot different 614 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: than the other game plans. We have the jet sweep in, 615 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: which was obviously different than the other weeks, but um, 616 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't a whole lot different. I knew that if 617 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: they called any certain play, I tried to get open 618 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: and assume the ball was gonna come to me. But um, yeah, 619 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: Josh made a good throw on that other corner route. 620 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: Should have caught that one. Um, that's It's kind of 621 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: funny how that works. You know he'd make a good 622 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: play and people forget about the other one. But we're 623 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: gonna be sitting here talking about a drop in a 624 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: false start. But so obviously a lot of things to 625 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: work on and get better at. But UM felt good 626 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: with most of it. Yesterday you mentioned the jet sweep 627 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: and you don't often see a jet sweep to a 628 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: tight end of the game plan, which is great. It 629 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: was great play design and all that. Had you run 630 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: one of those before in your career? And what are 631 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: are you getting the handoff in simply sprinting towards the 632 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,479 Speaker 1: sideline trying to get outside leverage? Um? Yeah, So honestly, 633 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: I've never done anything like that at Old Miss, But 634 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: we started practicing it this week and you know, Coach 635 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: day Ball really liked how it looked. And Tommy had 636 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: a great block on the edge, a line, a great 637 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: up front. It was a perfect hand off from Josh, 638 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: So really I was just supposed to come in motion. 639 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: He snapped it perfectly right on. Tom got the handoff, 640 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: supposed to kind of run backwards just a little bit 641 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: to avoid the end, and then when I got out 642 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: there was just some good green grass, so it was 643 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: pretty fun to actually take a handoff and then you 644 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: lowered the boom on Williams at the end of the run. 645 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: Tommy helped me out with that one a little bit 646 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: because he was already going backwards, so it probably made 647 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: it look better than what it really was. With the 648 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: Bill's rookie tight end Donson Knox, with your first NFL 649 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: touchdown yesterday, tell us about that play, the one yard 650 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: catch from Josh Um. Yeah, you know, that's my first 651 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: time be on the end zone in a long time. Yeah, 652 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: but that one, as soon as he called it, I 653 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: was hoping it was gonna go to me. We start 654 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 1: in motion across the line of scribbage come back, he snapped. 655 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: As soon as I got in the B gap just 656 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: kind of disappeared under the line. I was able to 657 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: break out for you, and Josh did a great job 658 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: of winding that end up the field and just gave 659 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: me an easy cast that anyone really could have caught. 660 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: Well your three games into your rookie season and you know, 661 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: don't know how it's gonna work out when everything starts, 662 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: but we found out early as particularly last week in 663 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: the Giants game, you got out in space, made a 664 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: nice block on Singletary's run to get to the edge. 665 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: Did did you know that's gotta be a tougher block 666 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: to make out in space for sure, to get out 667 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: away from everything? But did you have a good idea 668 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: that physically you're gonna be a good enough blocker at 669 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: this level? We thought we heard you were gonna be 670 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: a good receiving tight end, you know, and you know 671 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: what they say about receiving tight ends because they can't 672 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: block well. You seem to be excelling at both stage. 673 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: What do the coaching staff say give feedback about both 674 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: sides of your game? Blocking in receiving. Um, they've been 675 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: encouraging and just trying to help my confidence in the 676 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: run game and blocking, and um, just technique in general. 677 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: Because that old miss when I got there, I was 678 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: a former quarterback, so I had no clue, you know, 679 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: would all the leverage look like hand placement and everything? So, um, 680 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: started my foundation there, but as I got here with 681 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: coach Boris, he's done a great job. And Lee Smith, 682 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: as you know, as good of a pass or as 683 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: good as a blocking tight end in the league that 684 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: you know anyone can see. So they've they've done a 685 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: great job kind of helping me feel confident in that area. So, yeah, 686 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: you missed so much time through the preseason with the 687 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: hamstring injury. How tough was it to adjust to playing 688 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: in an NFL game without the preseason as a rookie 689 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: this year? Um, you know, I wasn't obviously didn't expect 690 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: to have a hamstring issue. Um, that was definitely frustrating, 691 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: just something out of my control. But um, I was 692 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: happy to be able to get some snaps in the 693 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: third preseason game, kind of start getting the field for 694 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: the speed of the game and everything. Felt like I 695 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: was a little rusty coming back, but after a few practices, 696 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: I felt like I was able to kind of get 697 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: back into the routine. Hey Duson, you know, Bills fans 698 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: and good fans are thinking why why did they have 699 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: to come back and win that game yesterday? If you 700 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: as a team discussed that or thought about that, like 701 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: how the league got away and how you had to 702 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: make another comeback to win it. Um, you know, we 703 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: haven't really broken down the film and death yet. Obviously. 704 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: You know, I made a bunch of mistakes during the game. 705 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: I think there were some areas we can all improve. 706 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: But I mean that's kind of how it is with 707 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: almost any game you play. You're you're never gonna play 708 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: a perfect game. There's gonna be ups and down. So 709 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: we did a I think as a team did a 710 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: great job bouncing back from some adversity, and I think 711 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of the mark of a good team being 712 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: able to fight back like that. What were your impressions 713 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: of the crowd here? The noise, the atmosphere, Oh, it 714 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: was incredible. I've heard stories and rumors and how loud 715 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: it was going to be. The energy, but being out there, 716 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: especially when we're on the sideline, when the defense is 717 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: out there, I mean, it's deafening. You can't hear yourself think. 718 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: So they bring a lot of energy that kind of 719 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: helps pump us up a little bit. It's one of 720 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: the fun things as well, when you scored that touchdown 721 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: that you didn't get that Christian you're kind of a celebrating. 722 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: You probably didn't even hear the credit at that point. 723 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: You're turning around looking for the guys. I saw you 724 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: slap a few get fans on the on the way around. 725 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: Get no real choreograph celebration there. It's been so long, 726 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not really wanting to be flashing have 727 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,719 Speaker 1: a certain celebration. Um. I saw all the fans there, 728 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to go give him some love and really 729 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: just celebrate with my teammates that are out there. So 730 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: I don't really have any you know, one go to, 731 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: at least not yet, and I don't I don't think 732 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: I will. Well, your first, your first touchdown since high school? Yeah, 733 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: how did that happen? Um? Yeah, since I had my 734 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: senior year. I played the first game at quarterback then 735 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: got hurt. Um. But my junior year I had a 736 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: receiving touchdown. So since then, Um, it was a long 737 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: stretch not scoring every week in college. We were kind 738 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: of going to the game hoping, you know, oh maybe 739 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: I'll get a touchdown pass. But Um, towards the end 740 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: of the season last year, I was kind of excited 741 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: to maybe say, my first touchdown since high school was 742 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: in the league. Are you the highest drafted tight end 743 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: in NFL history without a touch, don't catch you know, 744 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: I have no idea, but I'd be pretty curious to 745 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: see what those stats look like. Everybody's geeked up for 746 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots game on Dawson, and of course you're you're 747 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: a newcomer here. But the one thing I've noticed, and 748 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: these guys Eric would attested this, I think one of 749 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: the things Sean McDermott does best is to keep his 750 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: team on an even keel. Right, and people are gonna 751 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: be over the moon about this win yesterday and about 752 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots, but I assume it'll be pretty much of 753 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: a workman like atmosphere in your locker room and on 754 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: the field here this week. Oh absolutely. I think um 755 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: kind of when we were battling back from some adversity yesterday, 756 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: this kind of this shows how good coach McDermott is 757 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: kind of keeping us level head and not getting too 758 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: high when we're I'm not getting too down when we're 759 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: not doing things the right way on the field. But 760 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: I think we're just gonna go into this week with 761 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: the same mentality, just to go want to know, not 762 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: focus on what it looks like after this week, but 763 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: just to go in and try to win this game. 764 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: It could be a fun good seeing you. Thanks for 765 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 1: coming in, Yeah for sure. Congratulations on the win.

I mean it's really 774 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: coming down. Yeah. But I'm not ready to do this 775 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: completely yet. What we spend a couple of minutes talking 776 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: about the Patriots. We need to now we got We're 777 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: not gonna turn the page yet, I mean, because I 778 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: gotta we still gotta put this one to bed. A 779 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: week ago, Eric today, a week ago today, he Steve 780 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about the Patriots. Right, you did? You did? 781 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, we got the Bengals game, We're good, 782 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: let's talk about Patriots. It wasn't quite like that. But yeah, 783 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: but now and even now it's you know, here, here's 784 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: my take on the the early here's the early tasker 785 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: take forecast for what this week is gonna be. Like, Yeah, 786 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: the Bills can beat this team, but you can't make 787 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: mistakes like you did Sunday. You know, you can't make 788 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: the mistakes like you did on Week one of the 789 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: season either. You can't give it away really at all 790 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: and hope to beat the Patriots. They the margin of 791 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: because I think the Bills are as talented. They got 792 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: all the talent they need to win this game, or 793 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: to win any game they go into. They got plenty 794 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: of talent to win football games at this level. But 795 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: they can't make mistakes. Then, I think the Patriots have 796 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: made a living over the last what a fifteen eighteen years, 797 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: twenty years of beating teams because they made fewer mistakes, 798 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: and if you made a mistake, they were able to 799 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: capitalize more often than you were able to. That's the 800 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: story of it. They're going to come in with a 801 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: great game plan, They're gonna come in with adjustments. If 802 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: you can execute your game plan and do it with 803 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: mistake free, you can beat that team, particularly in this 804 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: building in New Airfield. That's my take on this game. 805 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: The Bills have the talent, but they have to play 806 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: mistake free football. You're absolutely right, and you're not going 807 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 1: to beat New England only scoring seventeen points. You're gonna 808 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: have to put points on the scoreboard. And we mentioned 809 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: how good their defense has been this year, and you're right, 810 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: they live off the turnovers. And from conversations I've had 811 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady personally, he knows he's been in the 812 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: same offense for so long. He knows where the dead 813 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: plays are. When he gets a certain look post snap 814 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: and he just burns the ball into the ground. He'll 815 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 1: throw a right at a running backs feet, he'll throw 816 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: the ball away when he needs to, and they avoid 817 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: making the crucial mistake, and they're waiting for you to 818 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: make that crucial mistake yourself. And they also have a 819 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: very good offense, so they're putting up points. They put 820 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: the pressure on you too. Then a lot of teams 821 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: get down a score or two, well, then the Patriots 822 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: will have design blitz as pressure as they are. Everything 823 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: about them is trying to steal the little inches of 824 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: a game plan and then capitalizing when you don't when 825 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: you when you make the mistakes yourself. And one of 826 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: the things about it as well is that when the 827 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: Bills come out and the Patriots, like you say, he'll 828 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: throw the football in the feet, He'll throw it away 829 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: because he has supreme confidence that they've got another play, 830 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: next play that's gonna be, that's gonna work. I don't 831 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: know that Josh own this offense, has confidence that they're 832 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: gonna like be over to come. Josh feels like he 833 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: needs to win it on this play. He doesn't. He 834 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: doesn't think about next play, right, he doesn't. You know, 835 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: he's not there yet. He's not to the point where 836 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: he says, all right, I'm gonna throw this down because 837 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: I know on third down, I gotta play or I've 838 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: got to We've done this before. I don't need to 839 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: win it here. I can win it on the next one. 840 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: He doesn't have that level of confidence hit in this offense, 841 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: and I don't think he's there as a competitor yet 842 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: he wants to win it now, you know what I'm saying. 843 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't have that patience level. And I think that's 844 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's one thing that Brady 845 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: has over so many guys where he's patient enough to 846 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: know that he's gonna go. Even if he comes off 847 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: the field, they're gonna come on with an adjusted game 848 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: plan going forward. And another thing that Tom Brady now 849 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: has when you talk about Edelman and Josh Gord and 850 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 1: all these guys, he's got some serious firepower at receiver now, 851 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: the running back rooms stacked, they have so many weapons 852 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: on offense now that he truly does know that the 853 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: next play could be the explosive play that they've been 854 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: waiting for. One guy they don't have this week, and 855 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm about sick of talking about him, is Antonio Brown, 856 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: who's been cut and for as big of a clown 857 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: as that dude has made himself out to be in 858 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, to not have the best 859 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: receiver in football on the field for the New England 860 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: Patriots is a good thing for the Bills because he's 861 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: simply a match of nightmare. You know, do you play man? 862 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: You need to play a good amount of Manda Man 863 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: against Tom Brady because Edelman is receiver is so good. 864 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: He's sitting in his own Josh Gordon's unbelievable. Yes, he's 865 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: a super talented, phenomenal athlete, and so they you know, 866 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 1: they're deep. Yeah, and when you but now you can 867 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: maybe match up true you know, Trude Avious White lee 868 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: By Wallace is a great over guy himself, but now 869 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: you can focus a little bit more on him, figure 870 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: out what you want to do with Edelman. It just 871 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: takes one weapon off the field when you don't have 872 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, another guy they don't have this year. Thank 873 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: God for the Buffalo Bills because he always liked to 874 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: put on a show when he came home to Orchard Park. 875 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: Was gronk and not having him on the field is 876 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: also a great thing. But but they do have a 877 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: number of weapons as we mentioned, and this will be 878 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: a huge game. But I loved your original point. The 879 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: Bills are at the point as a as an organization 880 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 1: right now as a team where they do have they 881 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: have the talent to beat elite teams. Now can we 882 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: say that last year? Probably not a big reason for 883 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: that was the sixty million dollars of dead cat money. 884 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: You infiltrate all of this veteran talent they did, especially 885 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,879 Speaker 1: on offense, all the free agent signings they had made 886 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: this year. Now you have depth, You get an injury 887 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: to Devin Singletary and you have a guy like t J. 888 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: Yelden fill in. You have Tyler Croft out, but you 889 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: have Lee Smith, Tommy Sweeney, Dawson Knox. It just feels 890 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: like the Bills have so much more depth and overall 891 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: talent as a team this year. Eric, the nine years 892 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: that you played here and went against said Patriots dynasty 893 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 1: up there, did you ever do you recall going up 894 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: against them when you thought, Wow, their defense it might 895 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: be better than their offense. That might be the case 896 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah. Yeah, there were some really good defenses 897 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: that we played in New England, and I've always felt 898 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: like New England as a whole on defense was always 899 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 1: generally a better some of its parts than the individuals 900 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: on the team. They've had pass rushers like Chandler Jones 901 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: throughout my career, who you know, led the league in sacks, 902 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: you know one year, and you had Vince Wilfork up front. 903 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: You had a number of great playmakers. But what they 904 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: do is they get guys to play certain roles for 905 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: their defense and they just do their job. So when 906 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 1: you see the big defensive line out there for the Patriots, 907 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: and they'll have almost what looks like two defensive lines. 908 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: They are two gappers. They are trying to put their 909 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: hands in your chest and let the linebackers run free. 910 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: They will then flip that and when they bring in 911 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: their pass rushers they are one gap penetrators, and it 912 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: almost gives you two different game plans to prepare for. 913 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: They've always had good physical linebackers. Then this year, you know, 914 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: they a couple of years ago they add Stefan Gilmour, 915 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: who comes from here kind of at that sweet spot 916 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 1: of his career, right off his first contract, who's playing 917 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: great ball firm as well. Their defense has always been 918 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: at its best when they have one guy who can 919 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: play corner, unlike anybody down They won with Durell Reevas. 920 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: Now they've got Steph Gilmore over there. They tend they 921 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: like to have at least one of those guys who 922 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: they feel confident they can throw out there against any 923 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: one on one matchup at least in certain situations and win. 924 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: And and Steph Gilmour has given them that in the 925 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: last few years. But you're right, as good as Tom 926 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: Brady is, as as mistake free as they play, as 927 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,919 Speaker 1: loaded as they are offensively, their defense is the real story. 928 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: This year's ranked number one almost across the board. The 929 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 1: only time. The only thing they're not is fourth down percentage. 930 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: They give up a third of their fourth down go 931 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: for right, they're like one of they've en up one 932 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: first down on a fourth down. Right, their number one 933 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,359 Speaker 1: in the league on every statistical category, or number two 934 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: in the league. Their offense is holding onto the football 935 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: thirty four minutes a game. I mean, they're dominating in 936 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: time of possession. They really are playing complimentary football at 937 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: a really high level. Defensively, I think that's the story 938 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: coming in for I know, Tom Brady's all is the 939 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: goat and their defense is the real story. Yeah, they 940 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: have been and John brought up a good point. They 941 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 1: haven't faced an offense with a ton of firepower yet, 942 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: so this will be a true test. And you get 943 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: the injury to Roethlisberger and all that, but this this 944 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 1: will be a big test for the Bill's offense and 945 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 1: we're really going to see what we have. You know, 946 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: I loved the fact though New England they pride themselves 947 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: on taking away what you do best, so in years 948 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: that Fred Jackson was, you know, have an incredible season, 949 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: they would never let him catch passes out of the backfield. 950 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: They were always buying him in this screen game. They 951 00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: would load the box when it looked like you were 952 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: gonna hand it off to him. The year that Stevie 953 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: was having a great year, they would make sure you 954 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: couldn't pass into the Stevie. Someone else is gonna beat 955 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: us well. This year, the Bills have so many weapons 956 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: on offense, and they mix up their game plan and 957 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: spread the ball around so well. It'll be interesting to 958 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: see what exactly they try and do defensively. I would 959 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: imagine on first and second down, Stefan Gilmour will try 960 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: and take away John Brown. The Bills have made Hay 961 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,760 Speaker 1: throwing the deep comebacks to John Brown. Any off coverage, 962 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's done a great job of just slinging the 963 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 1: ball out to the sideline, getting the ball in his hands. 964 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,879 Speaker 1: I would imagine the Patriots will try and take that away, 965 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 1: and then on third down probably look for Cole Beasley 966 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: to take away the middle of the field against him. 967 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: Josh has looked at him off and there John Brown 968 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 1: is well on third down, So be interesting to see. 969 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: But the Bills have so many different weapons this year, 970 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,320 Speaker 1: they're almost had a luxury where the Patriots can't simply 971 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: take away one receiver or one running back. Last week 972 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 1: is a great example. Had eight different guys caught a 973 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: pass and nobody caught more than like four passes something 974 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,760 Speaker 1: like that, right, So they do spread the football around, 975 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: and I think that's that is a crucial element to 976 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: going in and being able to maybe find just the 977 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: right guy on any play, rather than having a guy 978 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 1: that you're looking for where the Patriots know you're looking 979 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: for him and can take him away. I think it's huge, 980 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: and I think they've been building towards it for three weeks. 981 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: I haven't given this game a lot of deep thought yet. 982 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 1: I will. I will. I will get into deep thought 983 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: and concern as the week goes along. But I'm not 984 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: a guy who likes to say, well, the pressures on him, now, 985 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: the pressures on him. I normally don't do that. But 986 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: what I agree with you guys about the talent level, 987 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 1: the talent margine between the builds of the Patriots, says 988 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: even own a little bit so. And I said this 989 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 1: to you this morning in our office. To meet this 990 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: game on Sunday is a lot to do with Sean 991 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: McDermott and his staff, you know, and Brian Dable and 992 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, Like, so your talent is getting close to 993 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: these guys now find a way and it's a challenge. 994 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: But really, isn't it their job to find a way 995 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 1: to make this a game? I mean every week it is. 996 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 1: But I feel like more so that's a really good point. 997 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: And I think you're right, and I think they feel it. 998 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: I think this coaching staff knows this is a it's 999 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 1: a yard for them too. They don't want to they 1000 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: don't want to blow a time out. They don't want to, 1001 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, do a bad challenge. They don't want to, 1002 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: you know, go for it when they shouldn't go for it, 1003 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:09,919 Speaker 1: to go for it in a bad situation. They don't 1004 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: want to get lost in that. They don't want to 1005 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: get you know, leave something on the table where that 1006 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,280 Speaker 1: gives Bill Belichick and his staff out on the sidelines 1007 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: who's not aren't even in the game, to get an 1008 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: advantage somehow. I saw it last night and a couple 1009 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: of ways, even from Cleveland, Cleveland, they left something on 1010 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: the table last night, Um in their game.

Also, you know they're 1153 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 1: they're going for a long drive. UM, I don't know, 1154 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,839 Speaker 1: fatigue whatever ball ball said a little bit hit off 1155 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 1: the receiver's hands.

No, I heard 1173 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 1: you're announcing something. Yeah, but I'm not announcing. I'm not pregnant. 1174 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 1: Chris Brown has an announcement. No, it's not an announcement. 1175 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna talk about Josh said, what's your take on? Right? So, 1176 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 1: with respect to Josh, I think people have some varying opinions. 1177 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 1: Some people still get a little bit nervous with all 1178 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: the running that he does. Some people still get a 1179 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 1: little perturbed when he tries to extend to play too 1180 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 1: far and maybe makes a poor decision, which he has 1181 00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 1: owned by the way um and did so yesterday after 1182 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 1: the game. I'm gonna say this. We gotta remember we 1183 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 1: got a twenty three year old quarterback who has fourteen 1184 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 1: career starts, hasn't even started a full season yet, so 1185 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 1: these little hiccups are going to surface every now and then. 1186 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,320 Speaker 1: But what you can say definitively, and I guess this 1187 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 1: is the statement part, the Bills have a crunch time quarterback. 1188 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 1: He is a crunch time player. And I You're gonna 1189 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,440 Speaker 1: have to go back really far to find a crunch 1190 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 1: time quarterback that played for this team and succeeded time 1191 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 1: and again when the Chips were down. And I know 1192 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 1: the Bills media department media relations department already put out 1193 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 1: the stat but it was in the league stat pack. 1194 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 1: He is third in the league and fourth quarter passer 1195 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 1: rating at one twenty five. And you know, I know 1196 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 1: it's only three games, but this team has had to 1197 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,799 Speaker 1: erase a deficit on the scoreboard all three games, whether 1198 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,360 Speaker 1: it was down seven nothing early to the Giants or 1199 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 1: down late by a field goal to the Bengals yesterday. 1200 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 1: And when those situations present themselves, that's when you find 1201 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,800 Speaker 1: that Josh Allen tends to play his best football. And 1202 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, dollars to donuts, there's a 1203 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 1: lot of NFL coaches out there that would rather take 1204 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 1: the crunch time quarterback over the highly, highly, highly efficient quarterback. 1205 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,319 Speaker 1: They would take that guy over that any other any 1206 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:30,840 Speaker 1: day of the week. I want to get seven than this. 1207 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: But can I say this about Josh? And it was 1208 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 1: actually a statement or somebody friend of mine from Niagara 1209 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: Falls texting me this today and said, I think his 1210 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 1: point was, what makes the same thing that drives your 1211 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: nuts about Josh bad decision making? Occasionally a couple of 1212 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 1: them yesterday are also the things that allow him to 1213 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 1: engineer fourth quarter comebacks. He is a risk taker. He 1214 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,960 Speaker 1: has supreme confidence in his arm, and he's willing to 1215 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:53,520 Speaker 1: throw it out there with a chance to get a 1216 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,120 Speaker 1: big playing maybe knowing, oh, this might not turn out either. 1217 00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 1: The stuff that makes him he's so competitive and so 1218 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 1: like fiery competitive. Then that's why those fourth quarter comebacks 1219 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 1: are there. But what makes him a good comeback quarterback 1220 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:07,719 Speaker 1: is the same thing that drives you not sometimes when 1221 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: he puts it up there. Yeah, don't you think if 1222 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 1: you watch him over the preseason, over the last season, 1223 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 1: overthrow all the starts we've seen him make, he does 1224 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: get better and he you know, he does make better decisions, 1225 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 1: but he also goes off the air once in a while, 1226 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,040 Speaker 1: you know that. We always laugh about the pick in Detroit. Yeah, 1227 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 1: the one yesterday, right, and this one yesterday where he 1228 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,800 Speaker 1: lofted up going backwards, throwing it heaving it right down 1229 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,440 Speaker 1: the middle of the field into the guy. Bad decision, 1230 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 1: And you know you can live with the one like 1231 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: way down the deep when he's trying to take the 1232 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: top off the defense and the guy goes back and 1233 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 1: he just misses the interception on the goal line. Some 1234 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: of those things are gonna happen, no question about it. 1235 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: But he's also the kind of guy who you know, 1236 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 1: breaks out of contain, who scrambles in for the touchdown. 1237 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 1: He does, you know, some things off the page. Now, 1238 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 1: if you're the New here's what I'm getting at. The 1239 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 1: New England Patriots have a pension for making quarterbacks play 1240 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 1: and beat you doing what you don't do well you 1241 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 1: have to. For instance, if you're scrambling run around quarterback, though, 1242 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 1: New England Patriots will make you stay in the paion 1243 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 1: and throw the ball. They won't come at you with 1244 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 1: pressure and give you an outlet to break contain and 1245 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: run out of there. They'll just stay there. They won't rush, 1246 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,080 Speaker 1: they'll stay there form a pocket, try and back the 1247 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 1: ball down, certainly, but they'll let you stand there and 1248 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 1: try and get you to beat them that way. Likewise, 1249 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,800 Speaker 1: if you know, if you're a run around, scramble type quarterback, 1250 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 1: or if you're not good under pressure, that's all they send. 1251 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 1: They send pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure. If you can't decipher 1252 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 1: a defense, they'll give you all kinds of different looks 1253 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,920 Speaker 1: and try and confuse you. So the question is, you know, 1254 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 1: for Bill's fans, maybe this will be a Twitter poll 1255 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:47,800 Speaker 1: later in the week. What do you think the Patriots 1256 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 1: are gonna do against Josh Allen? How do you think 1257 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna make Josh Allen play on Sunday that's going 1258 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 1: to give the Patriots the best chance to win. Well, 1259 00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 1: they're not going to allow one to extend plays by 1260 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 1: buying time with his legs. And I think they're also gonna, 1261 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, like we've seen before with mobile Quarterbacky're gonna 1262 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 1: ham him in and say make all your plays from 1263 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 1: the pocket today, and he'll he'll make some, will he 1264 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 1: make enough? I think the Patriots believed they can keep 1265 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,320 Speaker 1: him in there and keep him from making enough plays 1266 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,280 Speaker 1: to win a football game. Now. You know, as Murph 1267 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 1: was describing just a moment ago, about how competitive Josh 1268 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 1: is and how he'll take risks and make the plays 1269 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: that helped this team win games, but also some of 1270 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 1: those will wind up in the hands of the opposition. 1271 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,360 Speaker 1: Who does that sound like? Who's maybe the most famous 1272 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: quarterback that that sounds like? I don't know, I don't know. 1273 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 1: There's a test. It's not a test, that's just throwing 1274 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 1: it out there who was kind of known as a 1275 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 1: risk taker and would kind of do some crazy stuff 1276 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 1: once a while. Off Yeah, off the script. I'm not 1277 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: saying he's Brett Farve, but there's value in that in 1278 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:57,680 Speaker 1: this league, and you can be very successful in this 1279 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 1: league playing that way. I've said it a lot. Ben 1280 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger went to and won a couple of Super Bowls 1281 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,240 Speaker 1: because he made plays off the page when he got 1282 01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 1: the job as a rookie that somebody got hurt, he 1283 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: got in. He kept them in games because of about 1284 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,880 Speaker 1: three or four sometimes five plays a game where he 1285 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 1: would break contain. Didn't do that necessarily his first year 1286 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 1: because they had bust and they were the number one 1287 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 1: rushing team in football in the number one defense in football. Yeah, 1288 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 1: the point is he would run around, break contain. He 1289 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,480 Speaker 1: would never scramble for yardage. He scrambled stay alive. And 1290 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 1: then Mike Wallace and Hines Ward in those Cantonio homes, 1291 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 1: those guys would scatter out and start playing street ball, 1292 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 1: and it just got the play got too long to 1293 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 1: cover him up. And Ben was a good enough throw 1294 01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 1: of the football even as a rookie that he could 1295 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 1: find and like Josh He's a giant guy who can 1296 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 1: still make plays with people hand hanging on him. Right. Yeah, 1297 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 1: Chris Brown is with us for a while today and 1298 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna take some calls for Chris. I got a 1299 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,520 Speaker 1: couple of other issues though, And you can just wigh 1300 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 1: in on our Twitter question today what you liked and 1301 01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 1: what you disliked about yesterday's Bills win? What what did 1302 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 1: you like the most? Because there's a lot to like, 1303 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:03,919 Speaker 1: But what did you like the most? What the Bills 1304 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,840 Speaker 1: were able to accomplish yesterday. I was encouraged by the 1305 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 1: way they were able to run the football, especially in 1306 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 1: the second half when the offense hit a lull, which 1307 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: might be the thing that I was most disappointed about, 1308 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 1: because again, we saw a lull with this offense. And 1309 01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:21,360 Speaker 1: I understand it's a relatively new group in terms of 1310 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 1: putting it all together, and I think they will hit 1311 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,120 Speaker 1: their stride in time and play more consistently from start 1312 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 1: to finish in a football game. But if you want 1313 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: to look at something that's been absent through the first 1314 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 1: three weeks of the season, and I know we're talking 1315 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 1: about a three and oh team, if there's one thing 1316 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 1: that's been absent throughout that three week stretch. It's a 1317 01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 1: start to finish offensive game. There have been these lulls 1318 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,680 Speaker 1: in games, and you're gonna have those, but I think 1319 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,439 Speaker 1: they've been a little bit longer than anyone would have liked, 1320 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 1: and against good teams, that's going to cost you a 1321 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 1: football game at some point in time if you don't 1322 01:01:55,600 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 1: get that rectified. Fortunately, they've played three teams that Cincinnati 1323 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 1: did reach out and take control of the game and 1324 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 1: snatch the lead from the team. You do that against 1325 01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 1: a really good team, you're gonna be on the wrong 1326 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 1: side of the scoreboard a lot faster, even with the 1327 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 1: defense that you have right now, and it could cost 1328 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 1: you a game. Ultimately. I'm going to give credit where 1329 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,320 Speaker 1: it's due here and in Benini from Channel two. I'm 1330 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 1: walking down to the locker room with him after the 1331 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:28,080 Speaker 1: game and he goes, well, that's what's called. What did 1332 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 1: he say? Now? I gotta remember this exactly right, smoking 1333 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,919 Speaker 1: in a dynamite check. That's what the Bills were doing 1334 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,120 Speaker 1: in the game yesterday, smoking in a dynamite check. And 1335 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:42,080 Speaker 1: they were because I mean, for a while there, they 1336 01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 1: left the game out there for Cincinnati to take, and 1337 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: they took it before. I agree with that, and I 1338 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 1: know what you're saying. I would just like to say, 1339 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,640 Speaker 1: and it sounds like people say, oh, give the opponent's credit. 1340 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm giving the bengalsome credit for what they do yesterday. 1341 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 1: Their defensive line is really good. Yes, and they made 1342 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 1: the Bills pay up front. Second half especially, they were 1343 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,760 Speaker 1: there all of those a lot of those Josh Allen 1344 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 1: bad decisions or there was all the pressure number one, 1345 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 1: number two. They know what Owen three means. They know 1346 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 1: what signifies three percent chance to make the playoffs they got. 1347 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 1: They're not they were desperate. Yeah, they were ultimately desperate. 1348 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:15,840 Speaker 1: Didn't write a game out of it. But as so so, 1349 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:17,919 Speaker 1: what I want to give credit to the offensive line 1350 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:19,840 Speaker 1: for it was the way they run blocked in the game. 1351 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,040 Speaker 1: I thought they that when by the board and was 1352 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 1: largely unnoticed, and I think they did an excellent job 1353 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 1: of clearing holes for Frank or t J. Elden. For 1354 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,560 Speaker 1: what it was, Frank Gore was the horse in the 1355 01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 1: game yesterday. At the same time, the pass protection was 1356 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,800 Speaker 1: inconsistent and was a problem, and the fact that Josh 1357 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,200 Speaker 1: made as many plays as he did despite suspect pass 1358 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 1: protection at times is a tip of the cap to 1359 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:46,120 Speaker 1: your quarterback because he may do with what was not 1360 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,920 Speaker 1: a good day in terms of keeping a clean pocket 1361 01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:50,920 Speaker 1: or giving him time to make throws. How much are 1362 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 1: you guys making? And I guess I'm asking myself this 1363 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: as well, and maybe we'll put it up the abody 1364 01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 1: can call in at chime in as well. Two three 1365 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 1: and oh teams playing the Patriots one lost percentage of 1366 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 1: their opponents is oh and nine. The Bills is one 1367 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 1: and eight because the Giants won yesterday in eighteen. Well, 1368 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean you can look at the schedule for the 1369 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,520 Speaker 1: entire year. The Patriots have an easier strength to schedule 1370 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: than the Bills do. And the Bills don't have a 1371 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: strong one, don't get me wrong. I think they're down 1372 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 1: in the lower third. But the Patriots are like twenty 1373 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:23,560 Speaker 1: eighth four eighty winning percentage too. Well, yeah, you gotta 1374 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 1: play fair enough, but you gotta play who you're up against. 1375 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah you can't. I'm not faulting them for that. I'm 1376 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 1: just saying neither of these three and oh teams have 1377 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,920 Speaker 1: really played anybody of any tremendous ilk in the league, right, 1378 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 1: And I don't know how much to make of that, 1379 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 1: except that both teams sitting here now have beaten the 1380 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 1: teams they're supposed to beat, right, and the Patriots have 1381 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 1: beaten them soundly. I mean, yeah, what are they scored? 1382 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 1: It's what It's like. They've goed a one hundred and 1383 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 1: six points and their opponents have scored twenty or something 1384 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen points they've given up and one was the 1385 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 1: first time and one was a pick six by the 1386 01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,560 Speaker 1: defense by the Jets defense yesterday after their backup quarterback. 1387 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,880 Speaker 1: That's one of the seven of those sixteen points. Yeah, 1388 01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Do you want to move 1389 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,000 Speaker 1: on and talking about Patriots or anything else from yesterday? 1390 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 1: Because I got calls about all of this. I want 1391 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 1: to talk about yesterday. Yeah, we I don't want to 1392 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 1: put yesterday to bed yet. I think that was an 1393 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 1: important game. You had all we need to talk page. 1394 01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,040 Speaker 1: That's right, Let's go to Tom and Buffalo. Hello, Tom, 1395 01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,600 Speaker 1: welcome to the show. You're on with me and Brownie 1396 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,000 Speaker 1: and Steve Tasker. Thanks well, thanks for taking my call. Thanks. 1397 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen gets like micro criticized. Yeah, yesterday, 1398 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,960 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson threw two lame ducks. But they were caught. Um, 1399 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,480 Speaker 1: you look at my homes, you look at mayfield Day's 1400 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:40,160 Speaker 1: roll passes like that. Yeah, if deat passed yesterday got caught, 1401 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,720 Speaker 1: it would have been on the highlights. Though, I'm talking 1402 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,720 Speaker 1: for me, except for like a young Tom Brady, I 1403 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 1: can live with Josh and Uh, I'll hang up and 1404 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 1: listen to what you say. Yeah, I mean that's what 1405 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 1: I was saying. He's a crunch time quarterback. So if 1406 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:56,640 Speaker 1: he's a guy that's gonna be able to deliver when 1407 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,800 Speaker 1: the chips are down, it's easier to stomach those one 1408 01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 1: or two bad decisions that he makes. You just hope 1409 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: it's not one that goes all the way the other way. 1410 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,600 Speaker 1: For today, was about a half a dozen plays in 1411 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,280 Speaker 1: the first half, yes yesterday that I was saying, man, 1412 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,560 Speaker 1: old man, that that guy's keeping him in control of 1413 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 1: this game. I mean he scrambling, breaking tackles. How about 1414 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 1: the game in the red zone. Yeah, I mean just 1415 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,400 Speaker 1: he just does something awhile that are off the page 1416 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,240 Speaker 1: and the defense you can't plan for it. And I 1417 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 1: was saying, that's your guy, that's your guy. As long 1418 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,080 Speaker 1: as you can keep him upright and as long as 1419 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,760 Speaker 1: you can pay him for the foreseeable future. You're not 1420 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,360 Speaker 1: going anywhere near I came quarterback market, that's your guy, 1421 01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 1: and he plays like that. And I came in here 1422 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,520 Speaker 1: last year after that Dolphins game in Miami, and I said, 1423 01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:51,160 Speaker 1: the Bills after their quarterbacks because he single handedly put 1424 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,680 Speaker 1: that team on his shoulders and almost won the damn 1425 01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 1: football game. Should have wanted by himself, literally all by himself. 1426 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,280 Speaker 1: Call here from Jordan and Charlotte. Go ahead, Jordan, Welcome 1427 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 1: to the show. Hey, I just wanted to kind of 1428 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:07,840 Speaker 1: piggyback Brownie. You kind of beat me to it a 1429 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 1: little bit. But you know something I heard this morning. 1430 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:11,480 Speaker 1: I can't really take credit for it, but you know 1431 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 1: what I loved about yesterday is he looked like Brett Farr. 1432 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 1: But what I hated about yesterday is he looked like 1433 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,800 Speaker 1: Brett Farr. You gotta take the good with the bad, 1434 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 1: I think exactly. I mean, if you can stomach you 1435 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,080 Speaker 1: know those one of two just kind of bonehead plays, 1436 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, to get to those incredible plays that means 1437 01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 1: up a third and seventeen. You know, my entire life 1438 01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,120 Speaker 1: at the Bills fan, a third and seventeen is a 1439 01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 1: draw play for six yards and punt, you know, and 1440 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,840 Speaker 1: I know and the giants to mean these third and ten, 1441 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:43,680 Speaker 1: third and twelve. You know, inside I'm like, okay, nobody deal, 1442 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,960 Speaker 1: Josh and picked us up, and you know, you just 1443 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 1: gotta take the good of the bad. There. Here's here's 1444 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 1: one thing I'll tell you this, Jordan. He's a little 1445 01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: bit like what people used to say about I said 1446 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,320 Speaker 1: about Tim Tebow when he was in the league. Every week, 1447 01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,800 Speaker 1: Josh Allen gives all kinds of ammunition to both his 1448 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 1: critics and the people who love him. He gives them 1449 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 1: both all kinds of ammunition every week. You can love 1450 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 1: him for all the things he does well and you 1451 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,520 Speaker 1: can hate him for all the things he doesn't do 1452 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 1: so well. But he gives you plenty of both. And 1453 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 1: that's the thing that's you know that you're trying to 1454 01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,040 Speaker 1: weave your way through here, and we see him in Buffalo, 1455 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 1: I think Brown and you can say this, you're getting 1456 01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,040 Speaker 1: more good than bad these getting I think you are. 1457 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,439 Speaker 1: And to get that from a twenty three year old 1458 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:32,040 Speaker 1: quarterback who again has not made sixteen starts in the 1459 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,519 Speaker 1: NFL yet is an encouraging sign, because I think logic 1460 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,120 Speaker 1: would say, as more and more starts are put under 1461 01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:44,000 Speaker 1: his belt, there should be fewer and fewer of those 1462 01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:47,840 Speaker 1: misguided decisions. You know there are, and I think we 1463 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 1: saw that even with Brett Farve. I mean we all 1464 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,640 Speaker 1: see the NFL films footage of Mike Holmgren ready to 1465 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 1: rip what was left of his hair out of his 1466 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,720 Speaker 1: head and practically tear his mustache off his top lip 1467 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:02,200 Speaker 1: because of the things that Brett would do. Sometimes, I 1468 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,680 Speaker 1: think I think Josh is on a similar path in 1469 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:10,360 Speaker 1: terms of trying to weed out those foolish decisions where 1470 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,840 Speaker 1: he almost has too much belief in himself and says, wow, sure, 1471 01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I know the windows only eight inches, but 1472 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:18,320 Speaker 1: I can stick it in there. Then here we go, 1473 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,599 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I mean I thinks 1474 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,799 Speaker 1: as he gets older, more experience, there will be fewer 1475 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 1: of those and more of the good plays because as 1476 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 1: you gain more experience, and veteran quarterbacks will tell you this, 1477 01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: and from having played as much as they have, they 1478 01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:37,640 Speaker 1: know whether this this that's sitting in front of me, 1479 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,760 Speaker 1: this play in front of me right here. They can 1480 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 1: make the determination in a half a second whether it's 1481 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,479 Speaker 1: a good idea or a bad idea when you're three 1482 01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,760 Speaker 1: four years in the league, you got sixty games under 1483 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 1: your belt. There's some of those that he's gonna leave 1484 01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:51,760 Speaker 1: in his holster, you know what I mean. I think 1485 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 1: there'll be more of those plays that he leaves in 1486 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 1: his holster. Call here from John and Buffalo. Go ahead, John, 1487 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hey guys, you know, I hope 1488 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 1: to say a lot of the same things. I still 1489 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 1: talk to people that are you know, they're complete testimists 1490 01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to Alan And you know the reason, 1491 01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,759 Speaker 1: I think he's still got a couple of those mistakes 1492 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 1: in them, just because if you're watching the game yesterday, 1493 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,640 Speaker 1: so many times he's who need his way out of 1494 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 1: situations and turn them into what looks like amazing plays 1495 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 1: that twenty eight to thirty of the other quarterbacks playing 1496 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,400 Speaker 1: right now in the NFL could not do. They don't 1497 01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 1: have the physical ability to do in my opinion. So 1498 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he gets it in his head that he 1499 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 1: can make these plays, and he does a lot. I mean, 1500 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,840 Speaker 1: we're watching all the time. Some of these plays are 1501 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,960 Speaker 1: to me incredible in something I haven't seen out of 1502 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:40,560 Speaker 1: a Bill's quarterback in quite frankly. I mean, like I 1503 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:44,519 Speaker 1: barely remember Jim Kelly, but I mean, he wasn't the 1504 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 1: most mobile guy, Wasn't He Wasn't he just your prototypical, 1505 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:52,840 Speaker 1: awesome pocket passing kind of quarterback. Because Alan sometimes he 1506 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 1: gets into trouble and he makes something out of what 1507 01:10:56,439 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 1: is looking like completely nothing or like thank ground being 1508 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 1: play or this or that, like both plays are going 1509 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,280 Speaker 1: to have him because quite often I think he's got 1510 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 1: it in his head that he's got the ability, and 1511 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,280 Speaker 1: I believe he does too. He's got in his head 1512 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 1: he's got the physical tools and the ability to make 1513 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 1: incredible plays that you won't see ninety percent of the 1514 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 1: other actors starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Mate. I mean, 1515 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 1: and I remember his college coach saying that. You remember 1516 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:23,760 Speaker 1: when we had his college coach on right after he 1517 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:27,040 Speaker 1: got drafted. One of the things that still sticks in 1518 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,479 Speaker 1: my head that he said is he is going to 1519 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 1: make plays that are going to get people out of 1520 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:37,160 Speaker 1: their seats and say wow, ye and he's done that. Yeah, 1521 01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,639 Speaker 1: here's to a large degree, and here's more team stuff. 1522 01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:41,320 Speaker 1: The thing about it is this, Yeah, he's gonna be 1523 01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,679 Speaker 1: able to have to make those plays, and he's gonna 1524 01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:45,719 Speaker 1: every once in awhile he's got that ability to escape. 1525 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,320 Speaker 1: But here's here's what it gets down to. He has 1526 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,600 Speaker 1: to be good enough on the mundane plays not to 1527 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 1: have to break loose and feel like he has to 1528 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 1: pick up a third and twenty because he's got a 1529 01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 1: third and one, and also because he has enough confidence. 1530 01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 1: So we were talking about this with Eric Wood here 1531 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,559 Speaker 1: the last segment to throw it down into the dirt 1532 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 1: on first and ten because he's confident on second and 1533 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 1: third down that he's gonna come back and make a 1534 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,519 Speaker 1: play on those downs. Plus, you know they're gonna be 1535 01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,200 Speaker 1: better in other parts of their offense. They're better in 1536 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,040 Speaker 1: their pass protection, they'll be better in the run game 1537 01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 1: like they are this year. Where I mean, let's not 1538 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,639 Speaker 1: forget last year there were a time stretches when every 1539 01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:30,080 Speaker 1: single offensive snap was an adventure in Josh heroball. Well, 1540 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,559 Speaker 1: right now you've got a running game. He can hand 1541 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,920 Speaker 1: it off. He's got Cole Beasley for an eight yard game. 1542 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 1: He's got John Brown. He doesn't have to do that 1543 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:39,960 Speaker 1: every play. Now it's only on you know what, one 1544 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,439 Speaker 1: out of every three or four plays when it comes 1545 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 1: down to works, one out of every ten plays. Now 1546 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,680 Speaker 1: you've got an NFL quarterback in an NFL offense is 1547 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,720 Speaker 1: gonna win playoff games. The other place to be this 1548 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 1: week would be I would pay a couple hundred bucks 1549 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:53,760 Speaker 1: to be able to sit in the meeting room with 1550 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,160 Speaker 1: Brian Dable and Josh Allen and Barkley in those guys 1551 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 1: just to here and anything to add, nothing to say 1552 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:00,920 Speaker 1: to fly. I just want to be a fly on 1553 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 1: the wall. I think they'd be a great meeting to 1554 01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,880 Speaker 1: be in. I really do. I bet Bill Belichick would 1555 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 1: like that too, And then get on the phone to right. 1556 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,840 Speaker 1: I just think that there's they know, they see it, 1557 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 1: they see what we talk about, what the fans talk about, 1558 01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,960 Speaker 1: and they've coached him up. He's come a long way. Yes, 1559 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:20,040 Speaker 1: yesterday he's sliding. Yes, he's slid yesterday, and people in 1560 01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:24,639 Speaker 1: the press box were audibly heard going, hey, but he's 1561 01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 1: come a long way with more more room for improvements. Yeah. 1562 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,519 Speaker 1: And that's the thing that I think sometimes people forget 1563 01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 1: the guy's learning on the flying I mean as much 1564 01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:36,559 Speaker 1: instruction and development as we've seen, whether it's completion percentage 1565 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 1: up ten percent from where it was last year or 1566 01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 1: third down conversion percentage up for this team I mean, 1567 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 1: you know, they're improved. They've improved across the board. They're 1568 01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,720 Speaker 1: a top ten offense right now, yeah, six right, you know, 1569 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,599 Speaker 1: and top five rushing team. And Josh as a hand 1570 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 1: in that too, or feed in that if you will. So, 1571 01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think we have to as excited as 1572 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 1: everybody is. You can't go so negative the other way 1573 01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,000 Speaker 1: because I think you have to look at the big 1574 01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,439 Speaker 1: picture and realize that this is a twenty three year 1575 01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,599 Speaker 1: old quarterback who doesn't have sixteen starts in the league, 1576 01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:10,720 Speaker 1: who is learning as he goes, and for a guy 1577 01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 1: that doesn't have a full season under his belt, he's 1578 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 1: doing pretty damn good. Yeah, he's doing pretty damn good. Chris. 1579 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:18,720 Speaker 1: Here comes the awkward part of the show where I 1580 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,719 Speaker 1: ask you if you want to stay for another segment? 1581 01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,680 Speaker 1: Are you up today? Yeah, we can do that. I 1582 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 1: can get upstairs in time before lunch is over. You're staying. 1583 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 1: We're back.

I know people want to talk about the Patriots. 1598 01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:28,640 Speaker 1: I do too, But we got all week to talk 1599 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,599 Speaker 1: about Patriots, Steve, you know what I mean, there's enough. Look, 1600 01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,560 Speaker 1: there's enough meat on that game yesterday. We don't have 1601 01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,240 Speaker 1: to jump into Patriots. It's fine. It's Monday too. I mean, 1602 01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,559 Speaker 1: you know, let's turn to page like Wednesday or something. 1603 01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 1: Let's go to Ray and Clarence. Hello, Ray, you're on 1604 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,400 Speaker 1: the air of this, Hi dullman. A couple observations, you know, 1605 01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:46,599 Speaker 1: art side ends. I can't help but to call them 1606 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,880 Speaker 1: the metsal arts wins. You know, they just remind me 1607 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,280 Speaker 1: when I Maybe it's the high numbers, maybe it's the stature. 1608 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:53,840 Speaker 1: You know, one of them has Pizza old number. But 1609 01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,559 Speaker 1: I just can't help but to think of them too. 1610 01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 1: And the other thing I love looking back on a 1611 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,479 Speaker 1: game to see, like what a focal point? What have 1612 01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 1: been not trying to deep dig deep foot but that 1613 01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:07,240 Speaker 1: off side call I think it was when the Bills 1614 01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,559 Speaker 1: were going for the extra point it eventually turned into 1615 01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,040 Speaker 1: a two point conversion. Yeah, you know what it was 1616 01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:15,320 Speaker 1: too many men on the field. It was very egregious penalty. Yeah, 1617 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:18,519 Speaker 1: because coach he doesn't go for two in those situations 1618 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,160 Speaker 1: and what they weren't lining up for. But my gosh, 1619 01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,920 Speaker 1: what a domino effect. You know, Cincinnati at the end 1620 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:25,960 Speaker 1: of the game would have just needed a field goal 1621 01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 1: to tie, and who knows, but you know, I don't 1622 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,320 Speaker 1: think that's a stretch, But what a big penalty that was. 1623 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 1: Is you look back, Chris, I got thinking at that 1624 01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:34,519 Speaker 1: point in the game. I didn't say anything on the 1625 01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:36,840 Speaker 1: air about the conversation that you and I and Steve 1626 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 1: have had I think in preseason with coach McDermott about 1627 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 1: how he is employing analytical analytical analysis more this year. 1628 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,800 Speaker 1: They've got a whole team of people making suggestions, right, 1629 01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:53,519 Speaker 1: and the analytics are overwhelmingly in favor of going for it. Yes, 1630 01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: if your two point conversion goes from the two yard 1631 01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,000 Speaker 1: line to the one to one line, like I don't 1632 01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,599 Speaker 1: I can't remember what the percentage is, but it jumps 1633 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 1: like considerable, and I want to say by twenty five 1634 01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,519 Speaker 1: I was wondering if McDermot would have done that without 1635 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,400 Speaker 1: the background that he had from his group. Is about science. 1636 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 1: At the end of the first half, it's like getting 1637 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 1: two touchdowns and the extra points fourteen to nothing instead 1638 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:20,200 Speaker 1: of just two field goals, right, right, So it takes 1639 01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:21,640 Speaker 1: the pressure off of it. At the end of the game, 1640 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,479 Speaker 1: like the caller said, is obvious they had to score 1641 01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,679 Speaker 1: touchdown to get back down. They're down four and that's 1642 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,120 Speaker 1: that was the difference. That was really the difference. And 1643 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:34,800 Speaker 1: to see it that early in the game, nobody's ever 1644 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,760 Speaker 1: done that here before. Yeah, I mean right, I mean 1645 01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,760 Speaker 1: Sean McDermot show this week, I ask him how much 1646 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 1: did your sports science, your your new research and the 1647 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,439 Speaker 1: new people what they have. They have two or three 1648 01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,600 Speaker 1: guys to come that decision from the two to the 1649 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,040 Speaker 1: one yard Want me to write it down for you? 1650 01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,760 Speaker 1: Write that down for me. I think it's I'm fair. 1651 01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't know this, but I bet it came from that. 1652 01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,439 Speaker 1: Like like Brownie said, oh, one yard line, boom, we're 1653 01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 1: going for two now. Well he did it immediately too. 1654 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they've probably talked through that. It's 1655 01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,800 Speaker 1: not like that's something. I think they know what the 1656 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 1: percentages are, right exactly from the two yard line. This 1657 01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:08,800 Speaker 1: is a success rate. From the one yard line, this 1658 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:10,800 Speaker 1: is a success rate. We're doing it. Yeah, Like it's 1659 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 1: not even a question. It's like an automatic. And it's 1660 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,800 Speaker 1: interesting too that you know one yard line is great 1661 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:17,840 Speaker 1: it they threw it. Think you would have done it 1662 01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:21,760 Speaker 1: two years ago. McDermott if he had the percentages, Yeah, 1663 01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:23,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. If he dies two years ago, I 1664 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 1: would like to think he did. Yeah, I would like to. 1665 01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean, for something like that, I would like to 1666 01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 1: think he did. Right. There might be some other more 1667 01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,760 Speaker 1: esoteric areas of the game where maybe they didn't have 1668 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 1: hard number hard and fast numbers to facilitate a decision 1669 01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:40,040 Speaker 1: like that. Esoteric means like secretive from rank okay, here's 1670 01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,360 Speaker 1: a call from a Kevin and Hamburg. Hello Kevin, welcome 1671 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,240 Speaker 1: great um. The only thing turnover I didn't like in 1672 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:50,760 Speaker 1: that game was yell then turnover. The Bills were way off. 1673 01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,839 Speaker 1: The Bengals couldn't do didy squad And if they wouldn't 1674 01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 1: have turned that over, they could have turned it into 1675 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 1: a real stinker in the Bill's favor, and it may 1676 01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:01,360 Speaker 1: pay the Patriots and tying them down. They cannot do 1677 01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:05,160 Speaker 1: something that's stupid or they're pretty much dead knee right. 1678 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:08,080 Speaker 1: What did you like about the game, Kevin? Oh, then 1679 01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 1: they pretty much handled Andy Dalton. They really He throws 1680 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 1: some sideline patterns and he would be a big guys 1681 01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:19,639 Speaker 1: would be squashed like in like two seconds. There you go. Okay, 1682 01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 1: I liked their I like their past defense all day. 1683 01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,880 Speaker 1: M You know, the ability to take the league's leading 1684 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: receiver in terms of receiving yardage, you know, and hold 1685 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 1: him to what did he have? Five for forty something? 1686 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,320 Speaker 1: They kept him under wraps, bottom line, And that's what 1687 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,400 Speaker 1: your Davious White said they had to do. They had 1688 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,720 Speaker 1: to keep him under wraps. Can't let him get on 1689 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:44,760 Speaker 1: top of you because if he does, it's over and 1690 01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,400 Speaker 1: even when he made some of that short underneath stuff. 1691 01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:50,840 Speaker 1: When he was catching short stuff underneath, they rallied to 1692 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:54,280 Speaker 1: the ball too, because I mean last week against San Francisco, 1693 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 1: he took he took a quick slant and he went 1694 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,840 Speaker 1: sixty yards to the end zone. Right, call here from 1695 01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,160 Speaker 1: Elvin in the bron Sollo. Elvin, Welcome to the show. 1696 01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:08,120 Speaker 1: Hey guys, what's going on? How's everything since our last COVID? 1697 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,559 Speaker 1: I still listen to everything. How you guys been doing good? Thanks? 1698 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,920 Speaker 1: Elan Actual, actually listen, guys, I'm calling. Um. I'm with 1699 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:15,479 Speaker 1: the rest of the cold. I think and you, guys, 1700 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,040 Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen is doing great. You know, he's 1701 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 1: he's a he's a learning quarterback. He's growing in. The 1702 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,680 Speaker 1: best is yet to come. Um. But I actually have 1703 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,080 Speaker 1: a two questions I want to ask you guys. Number One, 1704 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 1: what's the procedure with promoting someone from the practice squad? Like? Um, 1705 01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:33,719 Speaker 1: I say that to say that, like a Duke Williams, 1706 01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,679 Speaker 1: you think it's possible that he can probably get promoted 1707 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 1: from the practice squad. And again I say that because 1708 01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,559 Speaker 1: we're not getting much from Robert Forster. Right, well, yes 1709 01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,680 Speaker 1: it is possible. And all it really takes is a decision. Uh, 1710 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:46,800 Speaker 1: and the fact that he's come up and signed the contract. Yeah, 1711 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:48,680 Speaker 1: it's it's very sick. But the problem. The thing is 1712 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,439 Speaker 1: every guy on every practice roster across the league is 1713 01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 1: a free agent, but they're being developed by the team 1714 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:58,280 Speaker 1: who's practice roster there on. So if a team has 1715 01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:00,960 Speaker 1: a player on this practice roster that's in a position 1716 01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 1: you need to get six guys hurt and you need 1717 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 1: a guy to sign, you can go back and you 1718 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,519 Speaker 1: probably you have a file on all those practice squad 1719 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:09,840 Speaker 1: guys all around the league, and you just call his 1720 01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,720 Speaker 1: agent say I want the guy, and if he wants 1721 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:14,680 Speaker 1: to sign with you, he will, and most times they 1722 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:18,760 Speaker 1: will because it's an enormous page jump. So yeah, there's 1723 01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,759 Speaker 1: no question Duke Williams can be signed by the Buffalo 1724 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:25,720 Speaker 1: Bills to the active roster. I don't know who do 1725 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 1: you think they're gonna take off the field to put 1726 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,640 Speaker 1: him on? He's suggesting Robert Foster. Let me see this 1727 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:35,240 Speaker 1: at Foster, here's the thing I interpreted yesterday is a 1728 01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:38,320 Speaker 1: good Foster. I had eighteen snaps one target, the deep one, 1729 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 1: and I thought that's a good sign for Robert Foster. 1730 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,320 Speaker 1: They still have confidence coaching Foster might give them. You 1731 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 1: can even go back a week earlier against the Giants. 1732 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,720 Speaker 1: He had guys beat deep three times in the game. 1733 01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,720 Speaker 1: Josh missed him on one, didn't even see him on 1734 01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,880 Speaker 1: the other two. But he is winning down the field. 1735 01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 1: It's just he's not on the end of passes coming 1736 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 1: in his direction right now. Um So, do not do 1737 01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 1: not discount what Robert Foster can bring to this team 1738 01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:08,559 Speaker 1: because you haven't seen it yet, is what I'm saying 1739 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:13,360 Speaker 1: to the fans. Because the ability is there, unquestionably, it's 1740 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 1: just a matter of where and when they want to 1741 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,240 Speaker 1: make him a bigger part of the game plan. And 1742 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:21,519 Speaker 1: I'm saying, do not discount the belief the coaching staff 1743 01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:25,000 Speaker 1: has in Robert Foster. Eighteen snaps and that one target 1744 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 1: yesterday led me to believe they still have. They still 1745 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:29,880 Speaker 1: believe in this guy. They still plan. I know this 1746 01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:33,800 Speaker 1: about being in meetings with quarterbacks too. Josh Allen's back 1747 01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:36,840 Speaker 1: there and he keeps beating people deep. You get sick 1748 01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:38,600 Speaker 1: of watching him go deep and you're not getting a 1749 01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,920 Speaker 1: touchdown pass out of it. Quarterbacks love those just like 1750 01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,680 Speaker 1: everybody else does. And if he consistently goes deep and 1751 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 1: gets beat and beats people like and I'll tell you 1752 01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 1: that's probably one of the reasons Josh threw it to 1753 01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:51,639 Speaker 1: him in the spot that he died, said I'm sorry, 1754 01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to seeing this guy run free down there 1755 01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,080 Speaker 1: and me not being able to get it to him. 1756 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,720 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks hate that when they get a guy for a 1757 01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,920 Speaker 1: touchdown and they don't see or they miss or whatever, 1758 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,840 Speaker 1: or it's pretty frustrating and they watch it on film 1759 01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:03,840 Speaker 1: all the time. The other thing, too, is this this 1760 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,400 Speaker 1: game plan this past week, the tight ends were a 1761 01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,360 Speaker 1: focal point of the passing game. I mean that was 1762 01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,400 Speaker 1: very clear, based on the targets and where they went 1763 01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 1: with the football and the way they designed certain plays. 1764 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:15,720 Speaker 1: The tight ends were a part of the game plan. 1765 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:21,320 Speaker 1: You almost wonder was that supposed to be for Tyler Croft? Uh, 1766 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,719 Speaker 1: you know, had you know, the game plan goes in Tuesday, 1767 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,960 Speaker 1: Tyler Croft gets hurt late in practice Thursday and can't play. 1768 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,839 Speaker 1: I'm of the belief that the game plan was designed 1769 01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,320 Speaker 1: to kind of work the ball to Tyler Croft. But 1770 01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:36,800 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox stepped in as the replacement essentially and did 1771 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,120 Speaker 1: pretty well all things considered. I mean, yeah, he had 1772 01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,640 Speaker 1: the drop, but you know, makes a gigantic play at 1773 01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,920 Speaker 1: the end of the game and crunch time, and also 1774 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,600 Speaker 1: makes the play on the touchdown where Dawson, by his 1775 01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,560 Speaker 1: own admission, said, even my grandma could have caught that 1776 01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:52,080 Speaker 1: ball for the touchdown. So he was humble. But you know, 1777 01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,080 Speaker 1: I thought he stepped in and played admirably in the 1778 01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,839 Speaker 1: absence of Croft in a game plan that was clearly 1779 01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 1: had the tight ends a significant part of it out 1780 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 1: of here. But before we do, one short question, please, 1781 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,479 Speaker 1: what's the path to victory against this Patriots juggernaut? What's 1782 01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 1: that look like? You have to play the perfect game. 1783 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,600 Speaker 1: I think you do. You play like you did the 1784 01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 1: first three weeks, you'll lose by twenty. You play the 1785 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 1: game you played yesterday, you'll lose by two touchdowns. You 1786 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,519 Speaker 1: play the game you played against the Jets, you'll lose 1787 01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:24,360 Speaker 1: by three touchdowns. Because this team doesn't They don't let 1788 01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:28,120 Speaker 1: you off the hook with mistakes. They just don't. They 1789 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:30,680 Speaker 1: embarrass you when you make one. They make you pay 1790 01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,120 Speaker 1: for it every single time. I mean, you can probably 1791 01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,559 Speaker 1: Murph and all the Bills Patriots games we've seen since 1792 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,479 Speaker 1: Belichick took over as head coach. You can probably count 1793 01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,439 Speaker 1: on one hand the number of times that the Bills 1794 01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 1: made a mistake in a game and the Patriots didn't 1795 01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,799 Speaker 1: capitalize on it. Ninety eight times out of a hundred. 1796 01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:51,920 Speaker 1: They will make you pay for that. And I think 1797 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:57,200 Speaker 1: the one thing that's being that is unrecognized is how 1798 01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:01,599 Speaker 1: much better their defense is, even better than last year. 1799 01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,960 Speaker 1: And let's not forget this is a Super Bowl winning 1800 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,720 Speaker 1: defense that held the La Rams to three points in 1801 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,200 Speaker 1: the biggest game of the year and made Jared Goff 1802 01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:16,120 Speaker 1: look like a middle school quarterback. I mean, this defense 1803 01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,759 Speaker 1: is really good. And they and from that Super Bowl defense, 1804 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,760 Speaker 1: they added Jamie Collins, who's now back with the team, 1805 01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,479 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you that guy was a force yesterday. 1806 01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,400 Speaker 1: Go watch the tape from last week, this past week's 1807 01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,719 Speaker 1: game against the Jets, Jamie Collins is all over the field. 1808 01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he has brought a welcome dose of speed 1809 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 1: to a linebacking unit that really didn't have a lot 1810 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,120 Speaker 1: of it. And I'll say one more thing, Gerard Mayo 1811 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 1: as a defensive coach, he's doing a heck of a 1812 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,280 Speaker 1: job here in the early going. I know a lot 1813 01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,439 Speaker 1: of times, you know it's easy to play defense when 1814 01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:50,280 Speaker 1: you have the lead on the scoreboard. But man, he's 1815 01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,439 Speaker 1: doing it. He's a defensive coordinator in waiting. He's really sharp. 1816 01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:57,599 Speaker 1: Chris buzz Kill Brown, It's gonna be a tough week. 1817 01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta play your best football and maybe 1818 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,479 Speaker 1: they rise to the occasion and do that. Yeah, that's 1819 01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:03,960 Speaker 1: exactly what I said of being in the show. They 1820 01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,120 Speaker 1: gotta You can't make mistakes against this team. If you 1821 01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:08,680 Speaker 1: rise to the occasion and do that, it still might 1822 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,200 Speaker 1: not be enough to beat the Patriot. Yeah. I think 1823 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: the talent I've told me, I think the talent level 1824 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:15,360 Speaker 1: is there. You got enough good guys on your team 1825 01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 1: to win. But you can't ride the roller coaster and 1826 01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,360 Speaker 1: expect that the ups are all gonna come, because they won't. 1827 01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:23,639 Speaker 1: That team over there doesn't have downs, They just have ups. 1828 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:26,280 Speaker 1: They are playing consistent all the time and as much 1829 01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:27,960 Speaker 1: and you gotta match. And as much as I love 1830 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:31,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo secondary, the Patriots secondary might be right there. They 1831 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:33,639 Speaker 1: might be just a hair off of what the Bills 1832 01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:35,960 Speaker 1: put out there. On the defensive backfield, they are really good. 1833 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:37,800 Speaker 1: You keep going like this, no one will show up 1834 01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday and you keep talking about I'm not saying 1835 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 1: don't show up. I think it's gonna be a game, 1836 01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,840 Speaker 1: but we gotta remember who's over there on the other side. 1837 01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,280 Speaker 1: We know and all the hardware that they wear on 1838 01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:52,599 Speaker 1: their hand. Thanks buzz Kill. I'm just real, man, I'm 1839 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:54,559 Speaker 1: just keeping it real.

I haven't heard the whole show, 1880 01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 1: so I don't know if anyone brought this up, but 1881 01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:08,920 Speaker 1: I thought one of the best plays. It didn't put 1882 01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,280 Speaker 1: mouth to a lot, but one of the best plays 1883 01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,599 Speaker 1: is when Josh Allens felled down, he took the snap, 1884 01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,640 Speaker 1: he fell down, he dropped the ball, He grabs the 1885 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,080 Speaker 1: ball and he's still beating the two defenders that are 1886 01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:22,320 Speaker 1: chasing after him. That he fires out and makes the completion. 1887 01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:26,400 Speaker 1: Now the sideline. I was there's a lot of athletic ability, right, Yeah, 1888 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,759 Speaker 1: he did one little play. Yeah, it was a marvel 1889 01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:30,200 Speaker 1: I said it on the air on the broadcast with 1890 01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,200 Speaker 1: Eric yesterday. See that play, and you know many quarterbacks, 1891 01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,519 Speaker 1: most quarterbacks would be done once they go down with 1892 01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,479 Speaker 1: the ball kind of popping out of his hands. But 1893 01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:39,880 Speaker 1: Josh is such a superior athlete that he made a 1894 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 1: play out of it. Yeah. I think he completed it 1895 01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:44,599 Speaker 1: to Sweeney or was it to Knox, I can't remember. 1896 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:47,120 Speaker 1: Tight end. Yeah, and it was a five yard game 1897 01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:49,920 Speaker 1: or game or whatever, but it looked like it was 1898 01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:54,880 Speaker 1: going to be a disaster. I get yeah, he can 1899 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:59,760 Speaker 1: do that. It'll be great when he doesn't have to 1900 01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:02,640 Speaker 1: do that. You know, when he can and I get it, 1901 01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:04,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna drop a snaps. Stuff like that's gonna happen. 1902 01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,960 Speaker 1: He's got a high end ability to make plays. We 1903 01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:11,640 Speaker 1: know that, we all see it. What we need from 1904 01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 1: him is to make sure everybody else makes plays around him. 1905 01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:16,200 Speaker 1: He's got to do the right thing with a football 1906 01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:20,160 Speaker 1: all the time. No turnovers, stop taking any hits at all, 1907 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,680 Speaker 1: stay in the pocket, find your receivers, go to your 1908 01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:27,080 Speaker 1: second receiver, make targeted throws, stay on the field offensively, 1909 01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:29,320 Speaker 1: and get touchdowns. I mean, that's what it's going to 1910 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,040 Speaker 1: look like. And I get it. It's fun to watch 1911 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:33,639 Speaker 1: him drop the ball and roll over and then get 1912 01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 1: up and throw a desperation pass for a completion, or 1913 01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:40,920 Speaker 1: to wrench out of the grasp of somebody and make 1914 01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:43,400 Speaker 1: a play. He's got the ability to do that, and 1915 01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:45,599 Speaker 1: there are gonna be some games we're gonna we're gonna 1916 01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:48,599 Speaker 1: win only because he can do that. But we're gonna 1917 01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:51,599 Speaker 1: win the ultimate thing, the ultimate prize and what we're 1918 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 1: all hoping for, a championship, only when he starts to 1919 01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,760 Speaker 1: stay in the pocket, gets protected and starts to pick 1920 01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,680 Speaker 1: defenses apart and win from the pocket it because that's 1921 01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:03,719 Speaker 1: how ultimately you got to win these games from the pocket. 1922 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:06,160 Speaker 1: So I love all the I love all the ups 1923 01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:08,560 Speaker 1: and downs, but he's got to make more of the 1924 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:11,160 Speaker 1: mundane stand in the pocket and just deliver the ball, 1925 01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:14,760 Speaker 1: make the right decision plays uh for me? Jared on 1926 01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:16,920 Speaker 1: the line from Jamestown, Hello, Jared, go ahead, you're on 1927 01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:25,320 Speaker 1: the air. UM. I wanted to uh about something that 1928 01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:30,680 Speaker 1: I noted uh yesterday on a lot of the running plays, um, 1929 01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:33,400 Speaker 1: not all of them, but any of the ones, that 1930 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,439 Speaker 1: it seemed that Josh might have the option to either 1931 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,920 Speaker 1: change to another path another play, or pull it out 1932 01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:43,320 Speaker 1: and go for a path. Um. And it just seems 1933 01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:45,400 Speaker 1: like I don't know if it's something that Josh is 1934 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,360 Speaker 1: doing on his own or if he's being coached up 1935 01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,639 Speaker 1: to do it, but that seems the quarterbacks to running back. 1936 01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:54,400 Speaker 1: Its shange seemed so long to me um at least 1937 01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:56,759 Speaker 1: on the TV, compared to any young the other teams 1938 01:31:56,800 --> 01:31:59,439 Speaker 1: that I watch of other teams this year, and I 1939 01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:01,400 Speaker 1: think it might be a reason for some of our 1940 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:05,040 Speaker 1: very good success, especially with our run game, because it's 1941 01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:10,080 Speaker 1: really lacking the linebackers in place where they have to worry. 1942 01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:12,080 Speaker 1: Is Josh really going to pull that out at the 1943 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:17,799 Speaker 1: last second as throught behind my hat four yards waiting 1944 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 1: at Um. There's something to it, I Jared, I see 1945 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:24,559 Speaker 1: what you're mean. What you're There's a there's a play 1946 01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,600 Speaker 1: series called RPOs where run pass options and sometimes a 1947 01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:32,080 Speaker 1: quarterback if he puts the ball into the running back 1948 01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:35,280 Speaker 1: stomach and looks at the defense, and if the defender 1949 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:38,840 Speaker 1: closes in on the running back, then he'll pull it 1950 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,080 Speaker 1: out and throw it to the defense, to the receiver 1951 01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:43,360 Speaker 1: that is behind the defender or in the spot where 1952 01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:46,960 Speaker 1: the defender was uh. And sometimes, and a lot of times, 1953 01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:49,240 Speaker 1: if the quarterback has any kind of option whether to 1954 01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:51,640 Speaker 1: give it to the running back, throw it or to 1955 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:55,559 Speaker 1: run with it, that exchange does take an extra half 1956 01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 1: second or a split second because he has to make 1957 01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,160 Speaker 1: the decision and he has to keep the defense in 1958 01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:03,479 Speaker 1: doubt until he actually does make the decision. So that's 1959 01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:05,800 Speaker 1: why that exchange looks different than others. You'll see it 1960 01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:07,400 Speaker 1: in other teams as well. I don't know what games 1961 01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:10,519 Speaker 1: you're seeing. I see it every Sunday with different teams 1962 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:14,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I get it. And they ran 1963 01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:17,360 Speaker 1: it a couple of times yesterday it seemed to work well. 1964 01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:19,960 Speaker 1: It worked enough that they won the game. But that's 1965 01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,599 Speaker 1: just part of every offense in the NFL these days. 1966 01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:26,320 Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, I'm with you. If as long as 1967 01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 1: he makes the right decision and can execute the play, 1968 01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,519 Speaker 1: they're gonna be fine. But it all comes down to 1969 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 1: a decision he's got to make with the ball in 1970 01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:33,920 Speaker 1: his hands as to whether they give it to the 1971 01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:36,320 Speaker 1: running back or not. Dave on the line from Florida. 1972 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:39,679 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Dave, Welcome to the show, I Stave. How's 1973 01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:44,680 Speaker 1: everybody great? Good? Okay? My takeaway from the game offensively 1974 01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:50,560 Speaker 1: was Cole Beasley and my Man Gore. I played a 1975 01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:53,639 Speaker 1: great game, and the best side of it I don't 1976 01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:56,519 Speaker 1: see too much. I like that defense. I think they'll 1977 01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:59,519 Speaker 1: stand up to your Patriots for doubting Chris Brown over 1978 01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,719 Speaker 1: there and I think we're gonna I think we're gonna 1979 01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:05,320 Speaker 1: go I like when I saw two bad passes that 1980 01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,080 Speaker 1: I saw, that's it. You talked about it, Thank you, 1981 01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:10,960 Speaker 1: thank you. What about Chris Brown? He said, as for 1982 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:13,880 Speaker 1: the doubting Chris, Chris Brown was the downer, the buzz kill, 1983 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:18,479 Speaker 1: buzz kill Chris. Yeah. Well, the defense is gonna be 1984 01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:20,719 Speaker 1: up against it because this is a really good offense 1985 01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,519 Speaker 1: this week, an experienced quarterback, and they've got all their 1986 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:26,240 Speaker 1: buttons pushing. I mean they can. They can hit all 1987 01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:28,600 Speaker 1: the notes and hit push all the buttons and do 1988 01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:30,920 Speaker 1: everything they need to do to beat you. You're gonna 1989 01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 1: have to be disciplined and play mistake free. And we 1990 01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:36,639 Speaker 1: talk about mistake free on the offensive side with Josh 1991 01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,080 Speaker 1: Allen I throwing the interception, not coughing the ball up 1992 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:41,240 Speaker 1: and all that. But it goes just as much for 1993 01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:44,120 Speaker 1: the defense as well. Our defense cannot make mistakes. And 1994 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:48,000 Speaker 1: a couple of times they got caught this last yesterday. Um, 1995 01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, given mixing an open lane, the guyn't didn't 1996 01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:54,560 Speaker 1: snug up fast enough on the back side of the 1997 01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:58,200 Speaker 1: run and he got out. They they they took it 1998 01:34:58,280 --> 01:34:59,640 Speaker 1: to the bills a little bit in the running game 1999 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:01,000 Speaker 1: a little more so than they were able to do 2000 01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:02,680 Speaker 1: in the first three games of their season or the 2001 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,080 Speaker 1: first two games of their season. So yeah, the Bills 2002 01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:08,080 Speaker 1: can't play. You know, they got them at playing mistake 2003 01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,360 Speaker 1: free defensively as well as offensively against the Patriots because 2004 01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:13,559 Speaker 1: Brady will kill them. We got more calls to take, 2005 01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,000 Speaker 1: We've got more tweets to rede we got another hour 2006 01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:18,720 Speaker 1: to do it.

Come on, Oh, it's pretty cool. 2099 01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:46,080 Speaker 1: We're not splitting atoms up there or anything, but it's 2100 01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:47,960 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. Well, you ain't breaking rocks with a hammer. 2101 01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:49,800 Speaker 1: But it's not easy work for you. Got you and Eric, 2102 01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:52,360 Speaker 1: I know how that. Even your stat guy and everybody 2103 01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:54,760 Speaker 1: up there is like you know, they're dialed in. So 2104 01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:57,679 Speaker 1: it's pretty serious booth and it's a work atmosphere, no question, 2105 01:39:58,080 --> 01:39:59,560 Speaker 1: and it's I guess it's fun to sit there and 2106 01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:02,200 Speaker 1: watch anybody who's good at it do it. I get that. 2107 01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:05,120 Speaker 1: I guess I didn't, but anybody noticed how well? Steve 2108 01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:08,200 Speaker 1: back pedals after. I mean, you're there to watch the 2109 01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:11,040 Speaker 1: game and you couldn't see and I'm in the back 2110 01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:14,000 Speaker 1: of the booth. What am I gonna do? Yeah, I've 2111 01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:17,040 Speaker 1: seen you work all before. I've just just had better 2112 01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:18,760 Speaker 1: seat it.

Well, I'll may take you up on 2116 01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:27,360 Speaker 1: it unless I get a better offer. Are talking to 2117 01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:29,519 Speaker 1: Bills fans. We got Maddie glab I'm coming in for 2118 01:40:29,560 --> 01:40:32,040 Speaker 1: the Maddies in a moment or two. She'll let us 2119 01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:33,960 Speaker 1: know her awards for the Bills victory. She does it 2120 01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:36,000 Speaker 1: every time the Bills win. The Maddies. Why, I don't 2121 01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:37,840 Speaker 1: know what you liked, what you disliked from the Bills 2122 01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:39,360 Speaker 1: win over the Bengals. We got to go to the 2123 01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,840 Speaker 1: tweet sheet. Haven't done that yet. The tweet sheet brought 2124 01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:44,800 Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of 2125 01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:47,559 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Let's get it started from Louis said, 2126 01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:49,120 Speaker 1: I know it may not seem like a huge deal, 2127 01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 1: but our punter has shown an inability to pin the 2128 01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:54,000 Speaker 1: other team inside the ten yard line with any consistency. 2129 01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,920 Speaker 1: When you're punting from your forty, you should be able 2130 01:40:56,960 --> 01:40:59,240 Speaker 1: to pin him deep. I thought it was a rough 2131 01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:03,479 Speaker 1: game for yesterday. Yeah, he also got brushed up against 2132 01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:05,280 Speaker 1: one time, and yeah, I'm with you. He did put 2133 01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:06,720 Speaker 1: it inside the twenty ones, but it was like to 2134 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:09,400 Speaker 1: the eighteen and it was a high very short punt. 2135 01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:11,800 Speaker 1: I you know, I WI should be gotten deeper with that. Um, 2136 01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,680 Speaker 1: well you know, yeah, I mean you're getting away with 2137 01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:17,560 Speaker 1: it right now. But as of right now, the statistics 2138 01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:20,479 Speaker 1: say every time they punt, they get ten yards more 2139 01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:22,559 Speaker 1: on their net punt than we do, or roughly ten yards. 2140 01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:25,400 Speaker 1: That's a first down. Their offense is required to make 2141 01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:27,880 Speaker 1: one less first down than our is every time we punt, 2142 01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,400 Speaker 1: as opposed to when they punt to us. That's an issue. Um, 2143 01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:33,559 Speaker 1: you got to change that. And it's it's the kind 2144 01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:37,599 Speaker 1: of things that it's the the statistics and the yards. 2145 01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:40,600 Speaker 1: It kind of goes unnoticed, but it's there. It's a 2146 01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,479 Speaker 1: real thing. Every time they punt, they get ten extra yards. 2147 01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:46,120 Speaker 1: Every time we punt, we get ten fewer yards than 2148 01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:48,599 Speaker 1: they do, and it's a first down that Josh Allen's 2149 01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:50,200 Speaker 1: got to come out there and complete two passes or 2150 01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:53,720 Speaker 1: handed up. I mean, it's just extra you know, it's 2151 01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:56,240 Speaker 1: a narrower margin of error, and it's and it's you 2152 01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:58,160 Speaker 1: gotta fix it. Another one from the tweet sheet. This 2153 01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,280 Speaker 1: is interesting. I oh you looked into this from acts. 2154 01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:02,720 Speaker 1: He said, I loved everything about the first half. I 2155 01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:04,920 Speaker 1: also think this team can close out games and win 2156 01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,040 Speaker 1: the majority of the close ones. I just wish they 2157 01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:09,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't quote take their foot off the gas when they 2158 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,160 Speaker 1: get a lead, stay aggressive and dominate. You don't want 2159 01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:14,559 Speaker 1: to let these teams stick around. You got those stats 2160 01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:16,920 Speaker 1: you whipped out here earlier on on the show about 2161 01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:19,679 Speaker 1: the way they started the second half. I don't know. Look, 2162 01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:22,639 Speaker 1: I don't know that they took their foot off the gas. 2163 01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:25,040 Speaker 1: I think they needed more points. And I heard somebody 2164 01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:26,600 Speaker 1: on the radio this morning say, well, they've done it 2165 01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:29,360 Speaker 1: now a couple of times this season. I guess the Giants. 2166 01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:31,760 Speaker 1: They gave up a touchdown, we're up by seven, and 2167 01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:34,120 Speaker 1: they immediately scored a touchdown. That's keeping your foot on 2168 01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:36,200 Speaker 1: the gas. And look, you gotta do it, and you 2169 01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:38,519 Speaker 1: gotta be aggressive. I get it. I also think the 2170 01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:40,560 Speaker 1: Bills wanted to establish a run, right, and that's what 2171 01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,880 Speaker 1: you had a third quarter. They ran eight times in 2172 01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:46,679 Speaker 1: the third quarter, and they threw six times, and they 2173 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,880 Speaker 1: had with the lead, Yeah, with the lead. And here's 2174 01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:54,160 Speaker 1: the thing interesting too, they didn't have a single in 2175 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:56,559 Speaker 1: the first three drives of the second half. They didn't 2176 01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:59,320 Speaker 1: have a single completed pass. So there you go, and 2177 01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:00,760 Speaker 1: one of them was an They did have one. It 2178 01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:03,519 Speaker 1: was an interception they completed the other team. So that 2179 01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:05,680 Speaker 1: was the thing. I mean that it was just unproductive. 2180 01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:08,360 Speaker 1: When they came back out. They ran the ball really well. 2181 01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:11,760 Speaker 1: Three yards here, fifteen yards, five yards, four yards, and 2182 01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,639 Speaker 1: they got lined up with a five yards into four 2183 01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:16,280 Speaker 1: yards on a third and one, they got stuff for 2184 01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,599 Speaker 1: a three yard loss, had to punt it away. That's 2185 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do? You gotta get 2186 01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:23,559 Speaker 1: you gotta convert the third down. The second the second 2187 01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:26,240 Speaker 1: drive they came out, it was a throwaway pass by 2188 01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:29,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen first down, the second one. I take it back. 2189 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:32,160 Speaker 1: They did complete one pass. They completed a three yard 2190 01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:36,280 Speaker 1: pass on second down. Third down, was incomplete, fourth and seven. 2191 01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:38,920 Speaker 1: He got to punt it away. That's kind of the 2192 01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,160 Speaker 1: way that drive that second half started for him. And 2193 01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't It wasn't pretty. It wasn't pretty. They had 2194 01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:45,360 Speaker 1: a couple of nice runs out at the beginning of 2195 01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:48,040 Speaker 1: the first series, but you know, they just couldn't sustain it. 2196 01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:49,639 Speaker 1: And I gotta say it again now for the third 2197 01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:53,760 Speaker 1: time on this show. The Bengals were desperate and ready 2198 01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:55,800 Speaker 1: to play. In the second half. They changed things up. 2199 01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:57,679 Speaker 1: They had a different kind of approach in the second half. 2200 01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:00,439 Speaker 1: The Bengals were I think, and we talk about this 2201 01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,320 Speaker 1: late last week. I do believe they're the best team 2202 01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:04,360 Speaker 1: the Bills have faced so far this year, best defense 2203 01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:07,640 Speaker 1: and even offense. They have playmakers on offense. And they 2204 01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:10,720 Speaker 1: looked at halftime and said, we can't go in three. 2205 01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:14,439 Speaker 1: You go on three three percent chance of making the playoffs. 2206 01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:17,760 Speaker 1: They kicked it in coaching and playing. They kicked it 2207 01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:20,120 Speaker 1: into gear. And yeah, it's set the Bills back because 2208 01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,720 Speaker 1: the Bills play better, absolutely, and I think they will, 2209 01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:25,160 Speaker 1: but it's not you're not playing against air. You're not 2210 01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:27,280 Speaker 1: playing against air, that's for sure. All Right, Now, it 2211 01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:30,400 Speaker 1: is time for what we do to celebrate Buffalo Bill's victories. 2212 01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:33,960 Speaker 1: The Meddi's Maddie Glab joins us now to give out 2213 01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,200 Speaker 1: her rewards for the top performances to the top observation 2214 01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:39,760 Speaker 1: she has made from the Bill's victory One Bills I 2215 01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:45,640 Speaker 1: presents the Meddi's Meddi Glab Bills reporter Savers, reporter for 2216 01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:52,880 Speaker 1: Pogogle Sports and Entertainment, joins us in the studio.

Yeah, So we did our first 2224 01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:14,400 Speaker 1: pregame show Bill's Field Pass, which I think went very well. 2225 01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:16,439 Speaker 1: It was awesome to be down on the field. Pregame 2226 01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:19,040 Speaker 1: gets taken. The atmosphere was my first What you think 2227 01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:22,519 Speaker 1: of home Bill's game? It was great, It was awesome. 2228 01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 1: The crowd was loud. I let's say it's comparable. Yeah, yeah, 2229 01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 1: it is. It is the closest thing you're going to 2230 01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:34,000 Speaker 1: get to a college football atmosphere, which says a lot 2231 01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:36,920 Speaker 1: about an NFL team. Right, yeah, right, And would you 2232 01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:37,840 Speaker 1: watch a game? Do you have to go in to 2233 01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:40,639 Speaker 1: the press pax? I watched with Fred Jackson again, Oh okay, 2234 01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:45,280 Speaker 1: because show did the postgame show with Fred Jackson. He 2235 01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:48,640 Speaker 1: was great. He um yeah. Enjoyed watching the game as well. 2236 01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:50,840 Speaker 1: The reason I like having in on Mondays is not 2237 01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:53,120 Speaker 1: you know, because it also means we're gonna win, but 2238 01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:55,120 Speaker 1: also because we had to talk about somebody other than 2239 01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:58,360 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. We do. There were there are many people 2240 01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:01,439 Speaker 1: who are getting awards today and the calls today, and 2241 01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:03,439 Speaker 1: I get it. People want to talk about Josh Allen, 2242 01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:05,360 Speaker 1: how he played good things, bad things. I get that, 2243 01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:07,800 Speaker 1: but that you know, I think if somebody pointed out 2244 01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:10,479 Speaker 1: that was a team victory yesterday, right offense and defense, 2245 01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,240 Speaker 1: it was a team win. A lot of guys can Yeah, 2246 01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:15,599 Speaker 1: they faced a decent Bengals team, Thank you. They are. 2247 01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:18,559 Speaker 1: They're the second best in passing yards right now, even 2248 01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:22,000 Speaker 1: after yesterday's performance. Andy Dalton is a gun slinger. They're 2249 01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,160 Speaker 1: not gonna look, I'd be surprised if they finished the 2250 01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,400 Speaker 1: season with a winning record, but I bet they win, 2251 01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:29,280 Speaker 1: uh six or seven? Don't don't you guys think? See 2252 01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,360 Speaker 1: what do you think? They're more test good by the way, 2253 01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:34,200 Speaker 1: you got to get aj Green healthy. Yeah, they're more 2254 01:46:34,240 --> 01:46:36,000 Speaker 1: talented than the Bills were last year when they went 2255 01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:39,640 Speaker 1: six and ten. Yeah right, I mean they got some 2256 01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:41,679 Speaker 1: guy They got some guys on the outside over there. 2257 01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:45,840 Speaker 1: Now their offensive line might have some issues long term, 2258 01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:50,000 Speaker 1: but didn't get you know, Andy Dalton is an experienced 2259 01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:54,200 Speaker 1: quality and He's not Aaron Rodgers, but the guy can 2260 01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:57,320 Speaker 1: throw it and he runs that offense, and they've got 2261 01:46:57,360 --> 01:47:00,240 Speaker 1: a lot of faith in him. And you knew that 2262 01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:03,120 Speaker 1: at some point they're gonna start spreading around and start 2263 01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:06,880 Speaker 1: making some making some some throws, and they did yesterday. 2264 01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:08,400 Speaker 1: They got back in it. Yep, they were in it, 2265 01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:11,840 Speaker 1: and I figured they would be. So just to re 2266 01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:14,200 Speaker 1: orient people, Maddie, what does it take to win a 2267 01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:18,120 Speaker 1: Maddie Award? So every week we have different awards that 2268 01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:21,160 Speaker 1: we're giving out. I think we've had offensive and Defensive 2269 01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,920 Speaker 1: MVP every single week. But other than that, you can 2270 01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:28,160 Speaker 1: look at Celebration's biggest hit. We got an Angry Run 2271 01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:31,560 Speaker 1: Award this week, so things that stand out in the 2272 01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:34,679 Speaker 1: game could get an award. We've had best Dress every week, 2273 01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:38,360 Speaker 1: maybe a best postgame quote, things like that. So excellent, 2274 01:47:38,560 --> 01:47:40,519 Speaker 1: all off the wall, but all great. There you go, 2275 01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:43,280 Speaker 1: let's get going. Are you gonna start? Off? The wall? 2276 01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:45,320 Speaker 1: Is right in our wheelhouse, right, That's that's what we 2277 01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:49,559 Speaker 1: like to do here. Okay, Number one is Offensive MVP, 2278 01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:55,120 Speaker 1: and the award goes to us. There it is, there 2279 01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:59,679 Speaker 1: it is. The award goes the veteran himself Frank Gore 2280 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:04,040 Speaker 1: offensive Yep, he had a great game, seventy six yards 2281 01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:08,240 Speaker 1: the winning touchdown. He showed up when he had too 2282 01:48:08,280 --> 01:48:12,200 Speaker 1: with Denvin Singletary being out, he had a great second half. 2283 01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:15,160 Speaker 1: His average yard per carry went way up in the 2284 01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:18,240 Speaker 1: second half. I think he had a great game. And 2285 01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:21,240 Speaker 1: who knows what Singletary status is right now, but I 2286 01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:23,280 Speaker 1: think if if they're not going to go with him 2287 01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:26,280 Speaker 1: next week, you can lean on Frank Gore again. Yeah. 2288 01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:29,200 Speaker 1: I love the way he plays, loved the leadership and 2289 01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:32,880 Speaker 1: inspiration he seemed to provide for his teammates too. And 2290 01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:35,759 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be in his way. I wouldn't 2291 01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:36,880 Speaker 1: want to be in his way going to my car 2292 01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:40,000 Speaker 1: in the parking. Yeah. It's very powerful running back right 2293 01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,320 Speaker 1: up the middle. You know what catches me about Gore 2294 01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:44,880 Speaker 1: is here's a guy thirty six years old. He's been 2295 01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:46,760 Speaker 1: around it, and he's headed to the Hall of Fame. 2296 01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:51,040 Speaker 1: He's got incredible career numbers, even at this late stay. 2297 01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,280 Speaker 1: He seems all in with this team. Oh yeah, you know. 2298 01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:56,400 Speaker 1: I mean it's really cool to see a guy like 2299 01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:59,320 Speaker 1: him who's been through so much in his career and 2300 01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:00,880 Speaker 1: has every reason to think you know when I need 2301 01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:02,760 Speaker 1: to walk off into the sunset if I want, but 2302 01:49:02,960 --> 01:49:05,560 Speaker 1: he wants to be there. He loves the guys on 2303 01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:10,599 Speaker 1: this team. He seems all in emotionally, leadership wise, whatever 2304 01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:14,760 Speaker 1: they're asking him to do, he's all about it. That's 2305 01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:17,679 Speaker 1: really cool to see just how much of a team 2306 01:49:17,760 --> 01:49:20,200 Speaker 1: player he is. And in the locker room after the game, 2307 01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:22,880 Speaker 1: he had some great things to say about missing Devin's 2308 01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:26,200 Speaker 1: singletary about this team, about the atmosphere, and for someone 2309 01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:29,120 Speaker 1: who's played in the league this long, I feel like 2310 01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:32,920 Speaker 1: it's unique to hear someone like him talk about a 2311 01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:35,200 Speaker 1: team like that and, like you said, just be so 2312 01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:38,240 Speaker 1: into it and so involved. So Frank Gore is the 2313 01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:40,920 Speaker 1: medi winner for offensive MVP. What else do you have? 2314 01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:46,320 Speaker 1: Defensive MVP? Defensive MVP. We need a drum roll again, 2315 01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:53,080 Speaker 1: there we go, We're going to the crowd. Yeah, oh wow, 2316 01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:56,080 Speaker 1: they showed up on third down. They showed up when 2317 01:49:56,479 --> 01:49:59,320 Speaker 1: the Bengals were on offense. That plays a big part. 2318 01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:02,040 Speaker 1: When you have a loud crowd, It is hard to 2319 01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:05,360 Speaker 1: hear the snap count, It is hard to react on offense. 2320 01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:08,400 Speaker 1: You've been there, You've played in situations where it's hard 2321 01:50:08,439 --> 01:50:11,120 Speaker 1: to hear yeah, exactly. I was gonna ask you it 2322 01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:13,200 Speaker 1: was loud. Oh, I mean, I mean we've been here 2323 01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:17,120 Speaker 1: just for decades now, right. I guess it's a home opener, 2324 01:50:17,160 --> 01:50:20,439 Speaker 1: so you kind of forget. But man, it's it never 2325 01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:23,920 Speaker 1: ceases too, like wow, it is it's just oh every time. Yeah, 2326 01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:25,840 Speaker 1: it's just like wow. Man. I don't know how you 2327 01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,680 Speaker 1: do it. If you're a fan. I know, you know 2328 01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:30,680 Speaker 1: what I noticed, and we got a great view. Most 2329 01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:32,280 Speaker 1: of us in our radio would have a great view 2330 01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:36,000 Speaker 1: of My view is hard. But the people don't sit down, Yeah, 2331 01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:38,320 Speaker 1: don't sit down around their feet, around their feet almost 2332 01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:41,160 Speaker 1: the entire game. And it's amazing. I think the energy 2333 01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:43,160 Speaker 1: generated by that group, and it's great to hear the 2334 01:50:43,200 --> 01:50:46,280 Speaker 1: players Dotson Knox acknowledge it on our show earlier today. 2335 01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:48,920 Speaker 1: They hear what's going on certainly, and they see what's 2336 01:50:48,920 --> 01:50:50,800 Speaker 1: going on, and I think it is an impact on 2337 01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:52,800 Speaker 1: the game, the noise and the energy in that place. 2338 01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:56,360 Speaker 1: Does the volume yesterday rank anywhere with you? Yeah? See, 2339 01:50:56,360 --> 01:50:59,320 Speaker 1: that's the thing I can't say, Steve. I mean it's 2340 01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:01,280 Speaker 1: that you know, through a certain level of noise. Yeah, 2341 01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,040 Speaker 1: I know. There have been times when I was playing 2342 01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:08,160 Speaker 1: and there have been since then. Where you're down there 2343 01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:10,800 Speaker 1: and you're on the sidelines talking to me and I'm 2344 01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:12,640 Speaker 1: as close to a teammate as I am to you 2345 01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:16,200 Speaker 1: and Murph, and you can't hear him there. You can yell, 2346 01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:18,200 Speaker 1: you're trying to yell and stuff. You have to read 2347 01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:20,760 Speaker 1: their lips. That's how loud it gets down there, and 2348 01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:23,280 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a real thing. And I'm sure that 2349 01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:25,720 Speaker 1: Bengals will tell you it was hard to communicate. You 2350 01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:28,200 Speaker 1: saw Andy Dalton running circles in the backfield trying to 2351 01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:31,000 Speaker 1: communicate to all his guys. How about Dalton trying to 2352 01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:33,120 Speaker 1: close off the crowd noise to get the call in 2353 01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:36,720 Speaker 1: his headset from the sideline. It'll only go so loud. 2354 01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:38,680 Speaker 1: He's got speakers right next to his ear and he 2355 01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:41,200 Speaker 1: couldn't hear. That's how loud it was. That's awesome. The 2356 01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:44,120 Speaker 1: crowd needs to be that loud next week against Patriots. Yeah, 2357 01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:46,160 Speaker 1: that's gonna be big. I want to give an honorable 2358 01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:50,160 Speaker 1: mention also to Micah Hyde. He had a great game yesterday. 2359 01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:53,400 Speaker 1: That Kevin Johnson's sack was because Micah Hyde told Kevin 2360 01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:56,200 Speaker 1: to line up a certain way. Then Mica had that 2361 01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:59,360 Speaker 1: tipped pass that ended up being a Tray White interception, 2362 01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:02,960 Speaker 1: game end interception, and he forced the fund ball. Guys 2363 01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:05,360 Speaker 1: like Micah Hyde and Jordan Poya are going to be 2364 01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:09,200 Speaker 1: so important next game because there's they're the ones who 2365 01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:13,320 Speaker 1: are disguising defenses, disguising fronts, and that's going to play 2366 01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:17,439 Speaker 1: huge into going against to Tom Brady esque quarterback. We've 2367 01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:19,640 Speaker 1: got some good safeties here, Steve. Both of them are 2368 01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:21,920 Speaker 1: really good. They've said it before. The depth is pretty 2369 01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:24,200 Speaker 1: good too. But Bill Belichick said it last year or 2370 01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,160 Speaker 1: two years ago. He said they're the best two. They're 2371 01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:29,040 Speaker 1: the hardest to decipher what they're gonna do before the 2372 01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:31,880 Speaker 1: ball is snapped. They've got a really good thing going 2373 01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:34,320 Speaker 1: and it's all about the their ability to communicate and 2374 01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:37,439 Speaker 1: get it done, and they sure they certainly played a 2375 01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:39,600 Speaker 1: big part in yesterday's win. All right, let's get the 2376 01:52:39,680 --> 01:52:42,280 Speaker 1: drummer ready, because the Maddies continue on with what do 2377 01:52:42,320 --> 01:52:44,439 Speaker 1: you have next? Man, We've got angry runs, so Good 2378 01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:47,800 Speaker 1: Morning Football does a segment called Angry k Kyle Brant 2379 01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:49,799 Speaker 1: is now on the show once a week, which is awesome. 2380 01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:53,240 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna go ahead and copy off him 2381 01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:56,040 Speaker 1: and just elect the angry run that he should choose. 2382 01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:57,640 Speaker 1: I was gonna call you out we're copying him, but 2383 01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:01,040 Speaker 1: you've already know where Kyle brand great segment. I love 2384 01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:03,759 Speaker 1: it every week he gets so hype on that segment. 2385 01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:06,160 Speaker 1: And hopefully Dawson Knox makes it onto the angry run 2386 01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:09,560 Speaker 1: segment tomorrow, which I believe he will. And it is 2387 01:53:09,640 --> 01:53:11,880 Speaker 1: that forty nine yard catch that he had and he 2388 01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:15,880 Speaker 1: just plowed over two defenders. It was amazing to see 2389 01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:18,120 Speaker 1: out of a rookie. That was the play of the game, 2390 01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:21,240 Speaker 1: set up to go ahead touchdown or the reclaiming the 2391 01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:25,960 Speaker 1: touchdown the lead in the fourth quarter, and man, yeah 2392 01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:28,240 Speaker 1: that's an angry run, that's for sure, and it was 2393 01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:30,400 Speaker 1: couldn't have happened at a better time. He had what 2394 01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:33,720 Speaker 1: like twenty four yach yards after Yeah, yeah, that was 2395 01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:35,320 Speaker 1: a big You know what I like about Knox and 2396 01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:38,559 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, Tommy Sweeney too. So they both 2397 01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:41,360 Speaker 1: come in as like you mentioned this when Knox was here, 2398 01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:43,559 Speaker 1: See it was like passed the reputation either a pass 2399 01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:45,760 Speaker 1: catcher or a blocker. Both of them came in here, 2400 01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:47,840 Speaker 1: those two rookies as well. He's mostly a pass catcher 2401 01:53:48,200 --> 01:53:51,280 Speaker 1: and yet Dawson Knox demonstrated on this play and on 2402 01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:55,639 Speaker 1: the block and on the Isaiah McKenzie touchdown the week 2403 01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:59,120 Speaker 1: before the Giants. He's a blocker and he's a physical specimen. 2404 01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:01,640 Speaker 1: He's a tough ye. He's a pass catcher who's a 2405 01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:03,560 Speaker 1: tough guy. Guys like that can go along way in 2406 01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:05,479 Speaker 1: the league. I think he's about to. And with tight 2407 01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:08,000 Speaker 1: ends like Knox and Sweeney, we can see how much 2408 01:54:08,080 --> 01:54:11,920 Speaker 1: day Ball loves to use a tight end in his offense.

It was I tell you, 2479 01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a Giants fan. Now you're okay, but 2480 01:57:55,560 --> 01:58:00,320 Speaker 1: so best rookie quarterback performance goes to Daniel Jones. Yeah. 2481 01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:02,960 Speaker 1: The way that he came back was able to get 2482 01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:06,160 Speaker 1: the win for the Giants after they had dropped the 2483 01:58:06,240 --> 01:58:10,000 Speaker 1: last two weeks. Didn't look too great, I would say. 2484 01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:12,360 Speaker 1: And Daniel Jones comes in for Eli Manning and has 2485 01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:15,120 Speaker 1: a pretty good game twenty three thirty six, three hundred 2486 01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:18,120 Speaker 1: thirty six yards, two touchdowns. He had that seventy five 2487 01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:21,560 Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass to Evan Ingram and then he took 2488 01:58:21,600 --> 01:58:24,400 Speaker 1: it himself to win the game thirty two to thirty 2489 01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:27,160 Speaker 1: one for two and ran for two. Yeah. Yeah, Look, 2490 01:58:27,200 --> 01:58:29,520 Speaker 1: and Steve and I were talking Maddie the general manager 2491 01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:31,920 Speaker 1: of the Giants as the guy used to work here 2492 01:58:32,400 --> 01:58:35,280 Speaker 1: years ago, Dave Gentleman, and he has just been raped 2493 01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:37,800 Speaker 1: in the media down there and my fans about why 2494 01:58:37,840 --> 01:58:39,760 Speaker 1: would you choose Daniel Jones and the top ten of 2495 01:58:39,840 --> 01:58:41,840 Speaker 1: the draft and what are you gonna do now? And 2496 01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:43,640 Speaker 1: even the decision to go with him, and said of Eli, 2497 01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, criticize something. I'm just happy for him and 2498 01:58:46,200 --> 01:58:47,760 Speaker 1: happy for the Giants. It looks like they got a 2499 01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:50,080 Speaker 1: pretty good quarterback to build around. And by the way, 2500 01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:54,160 Speaker 1: I would call myself the biggest Eli Manning fan in Buffalo. 2501 01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:56,520 Speaker 1: I've always liked Eli Manning, respect him. But I see 2502 01:58:56,560 --> 01:58:58,200 Speaker 1: what they did and I love the fact that they 2503 01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:00,040 Speaker 1: won that game, came from behind to do it. It 2504 01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:02,240 Speaker 1: is a feel good story because they were struggling, no 2505 01:59:02,360 --> 01:59:06,240 Speaker 1: question about it, and you know, there was a lot 2506 01:59:06,280 --> 01:59:08,440 Speaker 1: of outside noise that was had to be a huge 2507 01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:11,880 Speaker 1: distraction for the team. And through it all, Eli Manning 2508 01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:14,520 Speaker 1: has handled his time in New York better than any 2509 01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:19,640 Speaker 1: quarterback in that city ever to this point. He has 2510 01:59:19,720 --> 01:59:23,200 Speaker 1: been the best example of how to do it in 2511 01:59:23,320 --> 01:59:25,920 Speaker 1: New York of any quarterback that has ever done it. 2512 01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:29,880 Speaker 1: And U and he handled this with great with grace 2513 01:59:29,960 --> 01:59:33,080 Speaker 1: as well. I mean, he was congratulatory and seemed genuinely 2514 01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:35,760 Speaker 1: happy for Daniel Jones. And you got to tip your 2515 01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:39,440 Speaker 1: hat to him. I'm the giants, um have got. I've 2516 01:59:39,480 --> 01:59:41,600 Speaker 1: got a reason to have people watch him this year now, right, 2517 01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:45,520 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and they're they're they're underway on the way up. Now, 2518 01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:47,720 Speaker 1: I would think and say Quon was out for some 2519 01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,800 Speaker 1: of that game. Yeah, you do that without say Quon Barkley. 2520 01:59:50,840 --> 01:59:52,840 Speaker 1: And I was talking to Eric Wood earlier today, and 2521 01:59:52,880 --> 01:59:54,720 Speaker 1: he said it's going to be really interesting to watch 2522 01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:58,120 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and this season because of course as a 2523 01:59:58,240 --> 02:00:01,440 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, the more film teams get on you, the 2524 02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:04,240 Speaker 1: better they can prepare. Yep, what you got the rest 2525 02:00:04,240 --> 02:00:05,840 Speaker 1: of the week, Maddie, what's your week looked like? Here? 2526 02:00:06,680 --> 02:00:09,560 Speaker 1: Game Sunday.

I think, ye, 2533 02:00:31,080 --> 02:00:35,120 Speaker 1: I bet you. I don't need to know. I don't 2534 02:00:35,160 --> 02:00:37,840 Speaker 1: need to know.

Sorry. 2572 02:02:31,720 --> 02:02:33,120 Speaker 1: One of the things the Bills are gonna have to 2573 02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:35,640 Speaker 1: figure out is the status of guard John Feliciano, who 2574 02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:38,800 Speaker 1: left a yesterday's game with a neck injury, and Sean 2575 02:02:38,880 --> 02:02:40,920 Speaker 1: McDermot meets with the media at for today. Maybe an 2576 02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:43,000 Speaker 1: update on that. And it appeared there was a slight 2577 02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:46,240 Speaker 1: uh knee injury for Harrison Phillips late in the game. 2578 02:02:46,280 --> 02:02:48,120 Speaker 1: We'll see if there needs to be an update on that. 2579 02:02:48,280 --> 02:02:50,040 Speaker 1: Of course, the Bills will be off Toma I'll return 2580 02:02:50,080 --> 02:02:52,320 Speaker 1: to work on Wednesday. I want to hear from you 2581 02:02:52,640 --> 02:02:55,720 Speaker 1: what you liked him, what you may have disliked about 2582 02:02:57,160 --> 02:02:58,920 Speaker 1: about the game yesterday. What did you like that the 2583 02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:00,320 Speaker 1: Bills were doing? What did you do? It's like we 2584 02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:02,200 Speaker 1: got time to talk about it. You have time to 2585 02:03:02,240 --> 02:03:03,920 Speaker 1: tweet about it. Give us a call eight oh three 2586 02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:07,240 Speaker 1: five fifty two three eight eight eight five fifty two 2587 02:03:07,320 --> 02:03:09,720 Speaker 1: five fifty or sending a tweet to one Bill's five 2588 02:03:09,960 --> 02:03:12,200 Speaker 1: phone call Mark and buffalo him. Mark, you're on the air. 2589 02:03:13,400 --> 02:03:16,320 Speaker 1: A good afternoon, gentlemen. Just a few comments. One What 2590 02:03:16,480 --> 02:03:19,280 Speaker 1: I liked obviously, I like to win. I like Dawson 2591 02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:21,560 Speaker 1: Knox's effort. I like the effort of the whole team. 2592 02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:26,120 Speaker 1: But you can't leave points off the board. T j 2593 02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:30,120 Speaker 1: Yelden dropping that ball or fumbling. Josh is gonna throw interceptions. 2594 02:03:30,160 --> 02:03:32,520 Speaker 1: But you know we should have been up twenty four 2595 02:03:32,560 --> 02:03:35,160 Speaker 1: to Enoughing at halftime. I got to call Steve out 2596 02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:38,520 Speaker 1: a little while ago. He just said that Josh Allen 2597 02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:40,440 Speaker 1: has to stay in a pock and be that mundane 2598 02:03:40,520 --> 02:03:43,400 Speaker 1: quarterback on the same age as you guys. And yes, 2599 02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:48,440 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, you are all of famer anyways, But quarterbacks 2600 02:03:48,560 --> 02:03:51,760 Speaker 1: right now are Patrick Mahomes, and it looks like Lamar Jackson. 2601 02:03:52,280 --> 02:03:56,000 Speaker 1: They're dynamic. Lamar Jackson's moving and running. I think the 2602 02:03:56,120 --> 02:03:58,360 Speaker 1: game's changed where you have to have a running quarterback. 2603 02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:00,400 Speaker 1: And look what they did in Miami last year when 2604 02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Josh was running. You gotta run them. I get you, 2605 02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:06,080 Speaker 1: I get it, And don't miss my point. I'm not 2606 02:04:06,160 --> 02:04:07,920 Speaker 1: saying he can never do that. I'm saying he has 2607 02:04:07,960 --> 02:04:11,240 Speaker 1: to be able to do that so well that they 2608 02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:15,560 Speaker 1: have to defend it. Right now, I would say the 2609 02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:18,440 Speaker 1: Patriots may not rush him at all, but force him 2610 02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:21,520 Speaker 1: to throw into tight windows. They may let him stand 2611 02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:24,480 Speaker 1: back there and rush two or three guys make a pocket. 2612 02:04:24,560 --> 02:04:26,320 Speaker 1: Force him to do that. I'm saying it's okay to 2613 02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:28,000 Speaker 1: do that, to be able to do that, And certainly 2614 02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:31,520 Speaker 1: there are quarterbacks around who are making great plays outside 2615 02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:33,760 Speaker 1: the pocket, But those same guys are the ones who 2616 02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:36,600 Speaker 1: also make the places from inside the pocket. That's why 2617 02:04:36,680 --> 02:04:39,200 Speaker 1: teams have to get them out of it, because he's 2618 02:04:39,320 --> 02:04:41,960 Speaker 1: killing them from the pocket. So I mean, don't get 2619 02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:44,120 Speaker 1: me wrong, I don't think I don't want Josh to 2620 02:04:44,240 --> 02:04:46,720 Speaker 1: never have to do that or to be able to 2621 02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:48,320 Speaker 1: do that. I just don't want him to have to 2622 02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:50,000 Speaker 1: do that every play. And that was the point I 2623 02:04:50,120 --> 02:04:53,560 Speaker 1: was making a couple of times yesterday the Bengals, you know, 2624 02:04:54,240 --> 02:04:56,200 Speaker 1: does a game went on, they seem to throw more 2625 02:04:56,240 --> 02:04:58,640 Speaker 1: pressure at Josh, and they got pressure on Josh and 2626 02:04:58,680 --> 02:05:01,640 Speaker 1: they did a good job. But even without sending extra 2627 02:05:02,000 --> 02:05:05,040 Speaker 1: pass rushers to force Josh into some hurried throws or 2628 02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:08,560 Speaker 1: some bad decisions. Also, though I can count at least 2629 02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:11,320 Speaker 1: three times that I saw they had a three man 2630 02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:13,880 Speaker 1: rush and at least once they rushed two dropped nine 2631 02:05:13,880 --> 02:05:16,840 Speaker 1: into coverage. It's amazing. Yeah, and that's they're doing it. 2632 02:05:16,880 --> 02:05:18,600 Speaker 1: And again there's a good mix. Is my point. There 2633 02:05:18,680 --> 02:05:21,240 Speaker 1: was not one thing the Bengals did defensively. You got 2634 02:05:21,320 --> 02:05:24,000 Speaker 1: the team that is the ultimate mixing defense coming in here, right. 2635 02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:27,000 Speaker 1: Belichick will know exactly what he wants to do. And again, 2636 02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:28,800 Speaker 1: they've been around so long and many of his players 2637 02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:30,960 Speaker 1: have they'll know how to execute that. I'll say this too. 2638 02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:33,320 Speaker 1: I saw him rush two guys and dropped nine into coverage. 2639 02:05:33,320 --> 02:05:36,240 Speaker 1: And Josh held the ball too. Yeah he saw it. Yeah, 2640 02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:38,240 Speaker 1: and he held it and held it and pumped, faked 2641 02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:40,960 Speaker 1: and did all that stuff. And now that I say it. 2642 02:05:40,960 --> 02:05:43,840 Speaker 1: I can't remember if whether he completed I can't remember 2643 02:05:43,880 --> 02:05:46,080 Speaker 1: the play, but I remember it distinctly. He held onto 2644 02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:48,280 Speaker 1: the football for a long time, and I don't know 2645 02:05:48,320 --> 02:05:50,280 Speaker 1: whether he finally pulled it down because they were covered 2646 02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:52,800 Speaker 1: up and ran for it or whatever. But what I'm 2647 02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:54,400 Speaker 1: the reason I bring it up. The good thing I 2648 02:05:54,440 --> 02:05:57,600 Speaker 1: saw was that he recognized it and didn't just chuck it. Yeah, 2649 02:05:57,880 --> 02:06:00,480 Speaker 1: he bought himself some time, slid away from the pressure, 2650 02:06:00,560 --> 02:06:02,480 Speaker 1: kept his eyes down the field, and used every bit 2651 02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:05,520 Speaker 1: of time that they had to give him. So you 2652 02:06:05,640 --> 02:06:08,000 Speaker 1: can bet that he will get a number of different 2653 02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:11,920 Speaker 1: things from the Patriots. I'm never maybe maybe so many 2654 02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:15,680 Speaker 1: different things, never the same thing twice. They'll spy him 2655 02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:19,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. They'll send two, three, four, five, six, 2656 02:06:19,480 --> 02:06:23,320 Speaker 1: maybe seven. They'll send all kinds of different combinations as well. 2657 02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:26,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna it's gonna be difficult for him to decipher 2658 02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:28,240 Speaker 1: what they're doing. And I think that's their game plan 2659 02:06:28,320 --> 02:06:31,520 Speaker 1: as well. I love this matchup. I love Josh versus 2660 02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:34,120 Speaker 1: that defense, And as I said to you and Eric 2661 02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:36,360 Speaker 1: back in the first hour, I really like the coaching 2662 02:06:36,440 --> 02:06:38,880 Speaker 1: matchup in this game. Day Ball against his old team, 2663 02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:42,040 Speaker 1: McDermott against the Patriots. Seemed the Bills defensively. You have 2664 02:06:42,120 --> 02:06:43,760 Speaker 1: done a pretty good job against New England in the 2665 02:06:43,840 --> 02:06:46,480 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Right, absolutely, half the games. Yeah, 2666 02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:49,040 Speaker 1: I anticipated more of the same. Kennon Buffalo, Hi Ken, 2667 02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:52,080 Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air, hi guys. A quick 2668 02:06:52,160 --> 02:06:57,520 Speaker 1: question first, that running back ahead in the preseason the 2669 02:06:57,640 --> 02:07:01,400 Speaker 1: rugby guy, is he eligible? Will come back on our team? Uh? No, 2670 02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:05,800 Speaker 1: he's not. He's not eligible. Okay, because the resign asking 2671 02:07:05,960 --> 02:07:09,200 Speaker 1: is I'm not real happy with with t J Yelden. 2672 02:07:09,800 --> 02:07:12,640 Speaker 1: I know he seems to fumble it inopportune times, like 2673 02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:15,240 Speaker 1: when we're right down there when we need when we 2674 02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:18,320 Speaker 1: need something. I know what happened last yesterday. I know 2675 02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:20,480 Speaker 1: we had one in the preseason two where he was 2676 02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:24,600 Speaker 1: probably playing against you know, people that weren't you know, 2677 02:07:25,480 --> 02:07:29,320 Speaker 1: regular NFL people. But uh, you know, he seems to 2678 02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:31,560 Speaker 1: me like a like a Ronnie Harmon type guy. And 2679 02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:34,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to give him the ball when you know, 2680 02:07:34,560 --> 02:07:37,480 Speaker 1: if the Bills are in a critical situation where they 2681 02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:39,480 Speaker 1: could you know, win a game, and it comes down 2682 02:07:39,600 --> 02:07:42,120 Speaker 1: you know, to him losing the game for us. Right, well, 2683 02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:45,440 Speaker 1: don't forget I mean Devin Singletary was hurt and that's 2684 02:07:45,440 --> 02:07:48,200 Speaker 1: why t. J. Yellen got elevated. But he gives them 2685 02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:51,440 Speaker 1: some things they like, no question, Certainly, there's no excuse 2686 02:07:51,520 --> 02:07:54,200 Speaker 1: for fumbling the football. And as for doing it when 2687 02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:57,080 Speaker 1: at the inopportune moment, you tell me when an opportune 2688 02:07:57,120 --> 02:08:01,440 Speaker 1: moment is to fumble it, and that's when we'll do right. So, yeah, 2689 02:08:01,600 --> 02:08:05,760 Speaker 1: you can't cough it up. You cannot. You cannot turn 2690 02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:08,200 Speaker 1: the football over like that when you're carrying it on 2691 02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:11,600 Speaker 1: the ground. And you'll notice too at that up to 2692 02:08:11,720 --> 02:08:14,600 Speaker 1: that point I saw I think, I don't know if 2693 02:08:14,640 --> 02:08:18,200 Speaker 1: it was from sal or from somebody who dissected the 2694 02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:21,080 Speaker 1: snap counts from the game up until that point. Gore 2695 02:08:21,200 --> 02:08:24,000 Speaker 1: and yelled, and we're splitting the ball carries fifty fifty 2696 02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:28,360 Speaker 1: and after yelled and fumbled it, it went three to 2697 02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:33,160 Speaker 1: one in favor of Gore, so yelled and got the message. Yeah, 2698 02:08:33,280 --> 02:08:35,520 Speaker 1: And just at the end of the game, Frank Gore 2699 02:08:35,600 --> 02:08:38,920 Speaker 1: wound up with forty nine snaps sixty three percent of 2700 02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:42,960 Speaker 1: the snaps, and Yelden wound up with thirty seven percent 2701 02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:45,560 Speaker 1: twenty nine snaps, so Frank Gore had twenty more snaps 2702 02:08:45,840 --> 02:08:47,240 Speaker 1: than t J Yelden. At the end of the game. 2703 02:08:47,280 --> 02:08:48,920 Speaker 1: They saw it. Everybody saw it. Yeah, there's no and 2704 02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:51,360 Speaker 1: there's no other reason for it given what they did 2705 02:08:51,440 --> 02:08:53,560 Speaker 1: earlier in the game than the fact that he fumbled 2706 02:08:53,600 --> 02:08:59,240 Speaker 1: that ball. A call here from Frank and Cheektowaga. Hello Frank, guys. Okay, 2707 02:09:00,600 --> 02:09:04,080 Speaker 1: my only thing is I've heard some comments this morning 2708 02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:07,400 Speaker 1: about Josh Allen. The kids are rookie. Let's face it, 2709 02:09:07,480 --> 02:09:09,760 Speaker 1: he hasn't played sixteen games in this league. I like 2710 02:09:09,920 --> 02:09:12,120 Speaker 1: him for the fact that a couple of games when 2711 02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:14,280 Speaker 1: the game was on the line, this kid drolled that 2712 02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:17,360 Speaker 1: team down, scored the Wooden touchdown. And that's what I 2713 02:09:17,440 --> 02:09:20,120 Speaker 1: like about this kid. Yeah, he's gonna make mistakes. Who cares, 2714 02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:23,600 Speaker 1: It's a learning process. And I noticed Yeldon after he 2715 02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:26,440 Speaker 1: got back into the game after that fumble. The next 2716 02:09:26,480 --> 02:09:30,400 Speaker 1: time he ran, he had two hands on the ball 2717 02:09:30,560 --> 02:09:33,000 Speaker 1: going through the line. He wasn't going to fumble again. 2718 02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:36,200 Speaker 1: I just think that he I think this kid needs 2719 02:09:36,200 --> 02:09:38,080 Speaker 1: to get in there a little bit more. Who knows, 2720 02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:40,920 Speaker 1: he might turn out to be a better runner when 2721 02:09:41,400 --> 02:09:44,320 Speaker 1: late in the season, when the old guy starts to 2722 02:09:44,680 --> 02:09:47,080 Speaker 1: stumble a little bit. Yeah, maybe so and you and 2723 02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:48,800 Speaker 1: you're right about one thing, Frank. A lot of people 2724 02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:51,280 Speaker 1: have said how they think now Josh is getting this 2725 02:09:51,800 --> 02:09:54,040 Speaker 1: reputation or people are noticing in his game to when 2726 02:09:54,080 --> 02:09:56,080 Speaker 1: the chips are down, he's the guy they want, they want. 2727 02:09:56,360 --> 02:09:58,320 Speaker 1: I've heard I saw a guy on Twitter today said, 2728 02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:00,640 Speaker 1: if you give me two games, they're on the line. 2729 02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:02,640 Speaker 1: If you give me Baker Mayfield or Josh Allen, I 2730 02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:06,640 Speaker 1: want Josh Allen. Baker's guy on Twitter, he said Baker 2731 02:10:06,680 --> 02:10:09,120 Speaker 1: Mayfield evaporated in the fourth quarter of that game. The 2732 02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:12,480 Speaker 1: other Sunday night game last night, he evaporated in the 2733 02:10:12,560 --> 02:10:17,880 Speaker 1: game against who'd they play last night last night? Cleveland 2734 02:10:18,080 --> 02:10:20,920 Speaker 1: and Rams a LA. He he evaporated in the last 2735 02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:24,280 Speaker 1: quarter of the Rams game. Did Baker Mayfield? And Josh 2736 02:10:24,360 --> 02:10:26,520 Speaker 1: Allen seems to rise up in those fourth quarters. He 2737 02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:30,040 Speaker 1: seems to come through a little more clutch. You're not 2738 02:10:30,080 --> 02:10:32,320 Speaker 1: alone in that, Frank. So I have to agree with you. 2739 02:10:32,480 --> 02:10:33,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, Frank. Did you see this? I know we 2740 02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:36,120 Speaker 1: got to get to a break. We talked about penalties, 2741 02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:37,880 Speaker 1: right and in fact it was less Friday after the 2742 02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:41,520 Speaker 1: after the debacle Thursday night game with all those penalties thrones, 2743 02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:45,880 Speaker 1: So yesterday in the NFL Sunday games, officials through forty 2744 02:10:45,920 --> 02:10:48,320 Speaker 1: one flags for offensive holding, an average of two point 2745 02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:51,840 Speaker 1: nine per game. In the first two weeks thirty three games, 2746 02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:55,200 Speaker 1: there were one hundred eighty eight flags five point seven 2747 02:10:55,240 --> 02:10:58,120 Speaker 1: per games, So less than half. Am I reading that right? No, 2748 02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:01,040 Speaker 1: about half? There's many holding halls this week. Then last 2749 02:11:01,080 --> 02:11:04,640 Speaker 1: week Alberta river On, your favorite, had a conference call 2750 02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:07,880 Speaker 1: with referees and he and Saturday night he did one 2751 02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:11,080 Speaker 1: and he told them, apparently back off a little bit 2752 02:11:11,120 --> 02:11:13,640 Speaker 1: on the holding calls. And it was Brady. Remember that's 2753 02:11:13,640 --> 02:11:15,960 Speaker 1: where we talked about. Brady's said, I can't watch the 2754 02:11:16,040 --> 02:11:18,880 Speaker 1: sergiy night game anymore. Too many calls, too many holding calls. 2755 02:11:19,160 --> 02:11:22,480 Speaker 1: So we credit Tom Brady with the improvement. Don't make 2756 02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:25,160 Speaker 1: a face. I'm not mad at Brady river On. What 2757 02:11:26,280 --> 02:11:28,560 Speaker 1: the fact that they just decided they're gonna do it? Yeah, 2758 02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:31,480 Speaker 1: back off or call them, call them back off. You 2759 02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:33,520 Speaker 1: know it's funny. Nobody call them and then back off, 2760 02:11:33,600 --> 02:11:35,840 Speaker 1: call them. Let's just do it. What are we gonna 2761 02:11:36,160 --> 02:11:37,960 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do this week? Yeah?

Or 2763 02:11:41,200 --> 02:11:43,640 Speaker 1: is it gonna be clipping, Is it gonna be tripping? 2764 02:11:43,800 --> 02:11:46,280 Speaker 1: Is it gonna be illegal contact with Let's see, how 2765 02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:50,520 Speaker 1: about you know, let's just dip into the call it 2766 02:11:50,600 --> 02:11:53,680 Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, leave these guys alone, Alberto river On 2767 02:11:53,760 --> 02:11:56,640 Speaker 1: Lee alone. You called, you hired them, you developed them 2768 02:11:56,680 --> 02:11:58,600 Speaker 1: the best. You can leave alone. Let him make the calls. 2769 02:12:02,480 --> 02:12:04,280 Speaker 1: It's great when you get so flustered you can't talk. 2770 02:12:04,320 --> 02:12:07,120 Speaker 1: Horrible at his job.

Right. 2780 02:12:45,480 --> 02:12:46,760 Speaker 1: Let's just and I said a little minute ago, and 2781 02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't meaning buy it except that you know, outside 2782 02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:51,360 Speaker 1: of Buffalo, and I know fans, I know we could 2783 02:12:51,360 --> 02:12:54,280 Speaker 1: beat we the Bills could beat the Patriots. They got 2784 02:12:54,360 --> 02:12:56,200 Speaker 1: the players, they got the talent, they got to do it, 2785 02:12:56,240 --> 02:12:57,840 Speaker 1: and sending the home field, they got the home field, 2786 02:12:57,840 --> 02:12:59,840 Speaker 1: they got all that stuff going on. But let's face it, 2787 02:13:00,120 --> 02:13:03,920 Speaker 1: nobody outside of this fan base in this building, I 2788 02:13:04,040 --> 02:13:07,480 Speaker 1: think they're gonna do that, right They absolutely nobody would 2789 02:13:07,800 --> 02:13:09,360 Speaker 1: would think that the Bills are going to be able 2790 02:13:09,400 --> 02:13:11,880 Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots this weekend. That makes sense. I 2791 02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:14,520 Speaker 1: get that. Well, that's fine, but I think it's I 2792 02:13:14,560 --> 02:13:16,400 Speaker 1: think it's got a good chance of happening. I think 2793 02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:18,839 Speaker 1: this is a team like they haven't seen from Buffalo 2794 02:13:18,920 --> 02:13:20,480 Speaker 1: in a long time.
