00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

2
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome in to a Tuesday edition of One

3
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we

4
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: turn the page to Week eighteen. Scrum diddlocious. It is

5
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: going to be a delicious one as we take a

6
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: day by day approach to a monumental Week eighteen goal, which,

7
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: as we all know, on Sunday night. I do want

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: to issue an apology to the people that follow my

9
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: tweets out there. I mistakenly, in presenting the playoff scenario

10
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: for the Bills early yesterday, said the Bills if they lose,

11
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: I said they need a Pittsburgh loss and a Jacksonville lass.

12
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: I meant to put or in there a Pittsburgh loss

13
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: or a Jacksonville loss, and I was incorrect. And well,

14
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: let's just say it's set off a little bit of

15
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: a firestorm. So I apologize for that error.

16
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: Let me just say I'm not gonna worry about it

17
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: until Sunday night. There's a lot of football it's gonna

18
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: be played before these two teams play, and it's all

19
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 1: gonna be decided. You're gonna know exactly what's happening.

20
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's right.

21
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Brownie is losing sleep over and over. He because he's

22
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, you got to talk about We

23
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: talk about it here, but I'm like, dude, it's just relax.

24
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: Just let him play. It's gonna be fine. We don't

25
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: need to know about if there's a tie at some game,

26
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't even talk. My gosh, forget it. It's so crazy.

27
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: But listen, the Bills need to win and get in.

28
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: And I was gonna I was thinking this good question

29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: here by I asked myself this, and I had a

30
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: hard time answering it. I I'm kind of happy it's

31
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: this Miami game at some point instead of like having

32
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: to say, be a game against if everything was different,

33
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: if it was a game against the Chargers or or

34
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos or one of the other teams on

35
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: the Bills schedule at the end, tell me why because

36
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: I because it just adds something when it's those jokers.

37
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's my it gets old scar tissue

38
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: scraped off. I'm just loving it. I just love it

39
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: that it's I had a I had a conversey. You

40
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: were there. You might have been there yesterday when I

41
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: was talking to Mike Shula here in the Bills Bill

42
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: Don Shula's son who works for the Bills now, Uh

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: offensive assistance. Yeah, good, good stuff, as we have a

44
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: an alarm going on, thank you for that.

45
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

46
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: But we have a good conversation with him because I

47
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: played against his dad, well on him and his dad,

48
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: and also for his dad in a Pro Bowl. A

49
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: lot of conversation there about what it means, this game means,

50
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: has meant over the years. You go back and watch

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: some of those old things. And I'm even getting text

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: today from the old five presidents about this game this week.

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Jim I talked to Jim Keller, texted with him. He's

54
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: going down like he's going tomorrow.

55
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: Like yeah, So.

56
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: That sounds about right it this.

57
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad it's this game, these guys, this team, these teams,

58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, these coaches, these fans.

59
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: Let's go.

60
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: This week's game against the Dolphins incidentally is presented by Ticketmaster,

61
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: the official ticket marketplace of the NFL. Really nothing major,

62
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: and I guess we would file this under Bill's Practice

63
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: Updates presented by Lee com Your Lake Erie College of

64
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: Ostiopathic Medicine. As we know, Josh Allen stepped out of

65
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: the last three kneel downs of the game last week

66
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: after he got tackled on the third down scramble which

67
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: moved the sticks for a first down allowed them to

68
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: kneel out the clock. He is dealing with next soreness,

69
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: but is otherwise okay and no worse for where, so

70
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: that is good news. And they were checking him out

71
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: on the sidelines right after it happened, and shortly thereafter

72
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: he just stood on the sidelines watch the rest of

73
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: the game, so there was really no indication that it

74
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: was anything of major concern. And it is on the

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: left side was where he was grabbing after he got

76
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: hit by Kyle Dugger. I believe with the Patriots, So

77
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: hopefully he is no worse for wear and out there

78
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: participating and fully in practice this week. The same cannot

79
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: be said for the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Mike McDaniel

80
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: addressed the Miami media late yesterday afternoon after we were

81
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 2: off the air, and the Dolphins are a veritable mash

82
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: unit right now, already without their top russer, top pass

83
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: rusher Jalen Phillips, who was lost to an achilles injury

84
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: against the Jets, a few weeks back. They have now

85
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: lost their second best pass rusher, Bradley Chubb, to an

86
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: ACL injury suffered last week against the Ravens. He is

87
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: out for the season, and it looks like Melvin Ingram,

88
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: who was a practice squad call up last week for them,

89
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: is going to play a lot this week. And this

90
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: shouldn't be dismissed. Steve he has given Bill's offensive tackles problems.

91
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: He's a wiley veteran who has given Dion Dawkins and

92
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: Spencer Brown issues in recent years. So that's a guy

93
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on this weekend. They've been without

94
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: their starting linebacker Jerome Baker for several weeks. Duke Riley

95
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: has been his replacement in the lineup. McDaniel said it's

96
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: possible that the practice window could open for Baker this week,

97
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: but for all intents and purposes, it sounds like it

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: would be a heavy lift for him to return to

99
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 2: the lineup this week. Then you've got their starting corner

100
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: Xavian Howard, who left last week's game with a foot

101
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: injury the first or second series of the game and

102
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: did not return. McDaniel said he is quote not planning

103
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: on having Howard available for the game on Sunday against Buffalo,

104
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: so he is expected to be out. Regarding the nickel

105
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: corner position, McDaniel said he'd be comfortable with Nick Needham

106
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: in a variety of roles. Eli Apple is another guy

107
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: who might fill in. If you remember when the Bills

108
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: played the Dolphins back in Week four, Jalen Ramsey was

109
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: out of the lineup, so they had Cater Kohu, their

110
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: nickel corner, move outside and he got eaten alive by

111
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs in that game went over one hundred yards

112
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: and a fifty five yard touchdown.

113
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: Diggs caught the caught the ball on the sidelines, que

114
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: around front. Yeah it was yeah that game.

115
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: And Nick Needham, when he has had to fill in,

116
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: has had his problems in coverage against this Bill's receiving corps.

117
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: They do have Cam Smith, their second round pick rookie,

118
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: but McDaniel, when asked about him, didn't seem to feel

119
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: all that comfortable in putting him in a starting role

120
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: or playing him significant minutes or snaps I should say

121
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: to fill the void. So it's in all likelihood going

122
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: to be Nick Needham and Eli Apple, the veteran free

123
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: agent signing that they got from Cincinnati in the off season,

124
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: so a little banged up on the back end. Javon

125
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: Holland returned to the lineup last week from two strained MCLs,

126
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: but played didn't look like the Javon Holland were used

127
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: to seeing, you know, a borderline Pro Bowl safety type,

128
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: So he's not one hundred percent either, not that a

129
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: lot of Bills are one hundred percent. And then on

130
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: their offensive line, we already know that Liam Eikenberg is

131
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: filling in at center, a position he just started playing

132
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: this season, never played in high school or college at

133
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, playing it for the first time this year.

134
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: Because Connor Williams is out for the season for them

135
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: as well with a season ending injury, and Eikenberg is

136
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: nursing left ankle and left calf injuries. He's basically not

137
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: practicing all week so he can actually suit up been

138
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: playing the game. So this is how precariously thin the

139
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 2: Dolphins roster is. We also know that Raheem Moster missed

140
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: last week's game for the Dolphins against the Ravens. We'll

141
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: have to see what his status is concerning this week's game.

142
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: When their Wednesday injury report is released tomorrow, but they

143
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: are banged up. And you know, we talked about this

144
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: a little yesterday, Steve. The Bills saw the majority of

145
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: their injuries in the front half of the season, now

146
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: that there weren't some others through the course of the year.

147
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: I mean, Jordan Phillips is on ir right now with

148
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 2: a wrist injury after undergoing surgery, but a lot of

149
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: their injuries happened in the first half of the season.

150
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: The Dolphins seem to be getting most of theirs now

151
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: and it's not good time.

152
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: It hasn't really crushed seasonally speaking. I mean, they're still

153
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: first in points per game, fifth and oh yeah, points

154
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: per game differential, first in yards total yards per game,

155
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: second and average yards per play, fifth, in rushing yards

156
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: per game, first in yards per rush, first, passing yards

157
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: per game, second in average pass per attempts, pass per attempt,

158
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: yards per pass attempt I'm sorry, second, and average yards

159
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: per attempt. I mean, they're they're lighting it up still

160
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: offensively and even and they took it on the chin

161
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: this last week against Baltimore. I was watching that game.

162
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: They still they're hard to keep a lid on. Yeah,

163
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: they've got guys that can really get open and uh

164
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: Smyth has played I think better for them more smythe

165
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: the tight end. Yeah, he's been better than GASICKI was

166
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: for them, and Gasicki hurt the Bills a bunch. So

167
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, they're still putting it together and offensively, they're

168
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: still a handful despite their injuries.

169
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: Waddle is gonna. I didn't mention Jaylen Waddle. He's the

170
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: other question. Mark did not play last week high ankle sprain.

171
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: Will he play this week? I did talk to a

172
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: couple of Miami media members and asked them because I

173
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: posed the question to you yesterday. If you're a Mike McDaniel,

174
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: are you with these injury problems that you have, do

175
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,359
Speaker 2: you rest your players for the playoffs and potentially sacrifice

176
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: the number two seed so you have a healthy team

177
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: going into the postseason or do you play for the

178
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: division and the number two seed? And they said that

179
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: all along, Mike McDaniel has said goal number one is

180
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: to win the division. And they said also they wouldn't

181
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: be surprised if McDaniel believes they've got no shot of

182
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: winning in the playoffs if they have to go on the.

183
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: Rest, right I think you've got to pour it all

184
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: into this week. If you can go, you got to go,

185
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: because you're right, You're you're gonna play next week anyway,

186
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: and you you got to want to play at home.

187
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's just too crucial. The Bills know it, certainly,

188
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: the Dolphins know it. Yeah, I think it's all hands

189
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: on deck for this game. This is an this is

190
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: a really important game. The only thing that changes it

191
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins is the fact that, no matter what,

192
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: they're going to have a game next week, but they

193
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: can chew use it. It's going to be at home

194
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: or away if they can win. So I'm I'm kind

195
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: of with him on that. I don't think that's kind

196
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: of the public rhetoric you put out right, And I

197
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: think you still protect your players, but I don't think

198
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: you let a guy go if he's not one hundred percent,

199
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: because he won't be as good as a guy who

200
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent, you know, I mean, you can't

201
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: have like, for instance, we've seen Tyreek going through this

202
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: last month and a half. He's in and out of games,

203
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: He's limping off the field, staying over there for a

204
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: series or so, then coming out trying to gut it

205
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: out for a for a series or so, and then

206
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: he'll go back and sit back. Now, you can't have that.

207
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: You got to have a guy that's there, because your

208
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: whole game plan centers around the guys you think are

209
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: going to be available. And if you're If you're there,

210
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: but you're not available and they thought you were going

211
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: to be, that's a problem. So I think what you

212
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: do is, if you're the if you're Mike McDaniel, is

213
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: you hold you sit guys that aren't that could get

214
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: healthy in a week, you know what I'm saying.

215
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: So you're not playing wattle, then no, I wouldn't.

216
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. You gotta have that guy gives you a chance.

217
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: And that guy makes a big difference on the other

218
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: side of Tyreek, and the same thing for Tyreek. That

219
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: guy's he's he's like a fife and drum corps over there.

220
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's got a bandage here, he's limping here,

221
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: he's got.

222
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: His arm and his you know what I mean.

223
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like a bandage around the head, right and.

224
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: That's right, and limping with one leg. So you gotta

225
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: you give yourself the better chance when all the guys

226
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: who can play really well or in the game, whether

227
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: you're on the road or at home. And if you

228
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: can't play well on the road, then you got other problems.

229
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: But you gotta you gotta make sure the next week

230
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: you give yourself a chance and then let the chips

231
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: fallwar them. You don't even know who you're gonna be playing, so.

232
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 2: They do know who they're playing. If they lose, they're

233
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: on the road to Kansas City because, as I mentioned

234
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: yesterday in a weird quirk, the one three in the

235
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: five set are locked. It's Baltimore at the one, Kansas

236
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: City at the three, and Cleveland at the five, and

237
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: those cannot change according to all playoff limitations.

238
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: You think about it too. Now. They went to Kansas

239
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: City once already this season, lost fourteen to twenty one,

240
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: lost by a touchdown. If you go in there now,

241
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: Kansas City is more vulnerable now than they were then.

242
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: I would agree with that.

243
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm kind of speaking. I'm projecting

244
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: the Bills on that it's like a division game, that

245
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: it's like a home game for Buffalo aside from the

246
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: stinking crowd that's so so, you know, normal to be

247
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: in that stadium. I think Miami could get to that point.

248
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if that they would be running scared

249
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs, although that defense is unbelievable.

250
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: Well, that game played by the Dolphins and the Chiefs

251
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: was in London.

252
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: Oh really or Munich?

253
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: No, yeah, that game? Yeah, that game was played overseas.

254
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Okay, Yeah, that changed Jet's change. It

255
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: doesn't it? It does?

256
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 4: It does?

257
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: They haven't played in that environment. As a matter of fact,

258
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the last time. Maybe they

259
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna check real quick, because they obviously yeah, yeah,

260
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: they did not play last year because they had the

261
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: second play schedule. They played the Chargers while the Bills

262
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: played the Chiefs, finishing in first. Yeah, this iteration of

263
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: the Dolphins has not played at Arrowhead, and neither has

264
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: obviously McDaniel that hasn't either.

265
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: That's really bad.

266
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: So it's kind of important for them to win this game.

267
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: I have a really hard time thinking and maybe.

268
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

269
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far down this rabbit hole,

270
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: but that is a tough spot for Mike McDaniel because.

271
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: If they lose and go to eleven and six and

272
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,239
Speaker 2: don't win the division. They're a game behind behind Cleveland,

273
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: who's locked in the five. They're the six. So the

274
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: six goes to play the three, which we know is

275
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City.

276
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: So they know this.

277
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: They're going to case.

278
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people, you know, particularly Bill's

279
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: social media, which showers you know, information over you, nine

280
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: opinions over you and I on our timelines. You know.

281
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: The Bills fans are like taking this like we're going

282
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: to let's go, We're gonna roll, let's you know, because

283
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: they remember the fifty six to thirty game that they

284
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: just had, or a fifty six to twenty game they

285
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: just had in Week four. There's none of that in Miami,

286
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: in that locker room. This is a team that Mike

287
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: McDaniel toa waddle Jalen Ramsey. That's a group that thinks,

288
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: they know, they think they can beat the Bills this weekend.

289
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: They are believing it, and they're going to play like

290
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: that and prepare like it. So it's not like this like,

291
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: well maybe they should just let this game, you know, No,

292
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: there's none of that. They believe they can win, particularly

293
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: if they were healthy, they would be coming in here

294
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: with huge amount of confidence. Forget about what happened in Baltimore.

295
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: They would come. They'd be coming into that game and

296
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: welcoming Buffalo into that stadium with a lot of confidence.

297
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

298
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to project any of Buffalo's confidence in

299
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: this game on the Miami because they feel it on

300
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: their end too. It's a really difficult game to get

301
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: your mind around for the Miami club though, because they

302
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: are so injured right now. You just wish you were help.

303
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: He's Bills fans can relate. Oh my god, yeah right,

304
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: we were just healthy. Every the stressfull level would be

305
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: so much better. You know, you'd still be worried about

306
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: the game and all that. But man, old man, Now

307
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: the Bills are getting you know, they got a j

308
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: A Panessa back, They got Daikwon Jones back, Micah Hyde

309
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: was back in the lineup. Dawson Knox is now off

310
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: wrist surgeon, got a couple of games under his belt.

311
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Ken kaid his shoulder of a couple of weeks ago.

312
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: He's off the injury list.

313
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: Hey, he's not practicing in the red non contactors. Yeah,

314
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: I mean the TI Johnson's healthing.

315
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: Think about all that, you know, baggage you carry around

316
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: as a fan with all the anks that he gives you,

317
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: with all those guys, Nick Depp, that's where Miami is

318
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: right now.

319
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a tough spot to be Timing is everything, Uh,

320
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: in this league where the margins.

321
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: Are a tight league. Man, you've got to stay healthy, right, Yeah,

322
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: it's an enormous factor.

323
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: My, How the tables have turned.

324
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: How the turn tables.

325
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and that's kinda that's kind of where Miami's at.

326
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: It's it's bad timing for them. Maybe the timing is

327
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: right for Buffalo so well Buffalo.

328
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: Sure, you know, they got struck by the bad the

329
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: bad luck lightning bolt last year at this time, that's

330
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: true Cincinnati, and then everything happened.

331
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: And there they're they got problems of their own they

332
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: got to address too. You know, the passing game has

333
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: not been producing at a level that is their their

334
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: own standard. Forget about outside observers and what fans are saying.

335
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: They haven't even measured up to their own standard. So

336
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: they got that stuff to fix and practice this week

337
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: getting off to faster starts on offense that hasn't happened

338
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: each of the last two weeks.

339
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're and they just got steamrolled by the Baltimore

340
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Ravens and it was not Dolphins. Dolphin.

341
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: I was talking about the Bills. Oh were you yeah?

342
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

343
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: They haven't gotten off starts on offense each of the

344
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 2: last two weeks. They haven't, and the passing game has

345
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: not measured up to their standard each of the last

346
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: two games.

347
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: About this in transposing both these clubs, the Bills and

348
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. The Dolphins have gotten off to fast. I

349
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: mean they played very well early on against Baltimore.

350
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: Well McDaniel's opening scripts are usually and it just it

351
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: just went away. Think about how this game started. Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.

352
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: I mean that's that's how it went.

353
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: That's exactly right for Buffalo. It would you know, how

354
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: about Bills fans. Wouldn't it be nice to get a

355
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: first drive touchdown in a game?

356
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 4: Right?

357
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: So it's been a minute. I don't know if they

358
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: did it, and they didn't do it in La. Yeah.

359
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: No, they did not score on their first two possessions, right,

360
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: so I had a field goal, I want to say

361
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: on their third drive.

362
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: Last time they looked good was in the Dallas game.

363
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: They went down and lit it up.

364
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: So it that's what it looks like when they're hitting

365
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: on all cylinders. When they're not, it's a grind it

366
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: out type game.

367
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know what.

368
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: And kudos to them for finding a way to win anyway,

369
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: but I know they much rather we get off to it.

370
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've talked about you know, I I sit here,

371
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: I spin everything positive because you know what, you know,

372
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: it's who I am, so that I've thought they they

373
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: found like it too bad? You're right, So I'm yes,

374
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: you can paint me with that brush. That's fine. I've

375
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: noted that they've found a ton of different ways to win.

376
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: The run game against Dallas. The Josh was completed seventy

377
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: percent of his balls against LA and we had to

378
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: throw it twenty one times. The defense lit up the

379
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: Patriots this last week. You know, So they've they've found

380
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: a ton of different ways to win. And it has

381
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: not looked like the Bills have looked when they're clicking

382
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: on all cylinders. But they're clicking on enough cylinders to

383
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: beat the last four time, five out oflastics people they've

384
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: played and took the NFC champs, who are the one

385
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC. They took them to overtime on

386
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: the road. So they're not playing They're not playing all

387
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: that bad, right.

388
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: I would agree, but this is this They're still winning game.

389
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: It's the Dolphins puppet class.

390
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: It's a division game.

391
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

392
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: Uh. Quickly before we get to the phone calls at

393
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: eight h three oh five fifty. The rundown for today

394
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: coming up in about ten twelve minutes, will have the

395
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Therm and Thomas joining us here in studio.

396
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: We'll ask him the topic of discussion today, which we'll

397
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: get to in a second and obviously second hour of

398
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 2: the show. As we do every Tuesday, we catch up

399
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: with ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky. We'll ask him what

400
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: he thought about Buffalo's win over New England, maybe what

401
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: he thinks about the Dolphins getting waxed by the Ravens,

402
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: and maybe his outlook for Sunday Night Football this week.

403
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: Bill's Dolphins as well, so we'll get into that with

404
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: him in the second hour of the show. Topic of

405
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: discussion for you today, what should be the emphasis of

406
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: the Bills offense heading into Sunday's game with the Dolphins.

407
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: You got an idea fired off at us eighth three

408
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 2: five point fifty one eight eight eight, five point fifty

409
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: two five fifty. Then I'm gonna get on board. But

410
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: we lead off today with Tom on the west side.

411
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: Let me punch him up here. What do you have

412
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: for his? Tom? You're on one Bill's Live.

413
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 5: Hey, Brownie cut me off yesterday and never gave me

414
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 5: a chance to mention that it's a night game. The

415
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 5: only reason the Bills hate playing down in hard Rock

416
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: Stadium is because that sun beats down on them. And

417
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: because it's a night game, it's not gonna be a problem.

418
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 5: The fans don't scare me. The Bills play well down there.

419
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think in January you have to worry

420
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: less about the heat than you do in some Tember

421
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: or October. So even if it was a day game,

422
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been terribly concerned because if you're playing

423
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: four o'clock, that sun's already behind the canopy. You know

424
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: this time of year anyway.

425
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 5: True, true. Now on offense, I think what they should

426
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 5: do is they should start run on the RPOs more,

427
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 5: stay out of the shotgun, but go for the deep

428
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 5: passes when you feel you can get them. Because their

429
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 5: cornerbacks are hurting, they're hurt all over the place. I

430
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 5: think he can run on them, and I think he

431
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 5: could throw on them.

432
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are. They are beat up. And I apologize

433
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: I cut you off yesterday. It wasn't my intent. So thanks.

434
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: It's an interesting take. Do you see it that way? Brannan?

435
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: I think do you think the Bills offense is the

436
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: key this week? Or is it just because they've struggled.

437
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: If they get on track, you feel good about everything

438
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: because defense has.

439
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: To play well to write them down.

440
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

441
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: So, I mean it's not you can't play a one

442
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: phase game. I mean we talked about that just a

443
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 2: few weeks ago, Steve. When this team was having trouble

444
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: putting away games, it's because they were only getting one

445
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: good phase of football. You know, maybe the special teams

446
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: would have a misqueue or the defense was unable to

447
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: stop the run and the offense was playing well. And

448
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: then the next week the defense would play lights out

449
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: and the offense would get off to a slow start

450
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: and only score twenty points, and you know, we'd have

451
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 2: you know, a mishit punt or something and you know,

452
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 2: you're not flipping the field, and then the special teams,

453
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: like last week, it would come out and play great.

454
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: You get three punts down inside the ten yard line

455
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: and something else would happen, and you know you would.

456
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: Last week, you got probably two out of three phases,

457
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: playing well, special teams in defense, in the offense, probably

458
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: not playing up to their typical standard, still good enough

459
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: to win the football game. But you only get one

460
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: out of three phases. You play a team like the Dolphins,

461
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a problem, even as injury riddled as

462
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: they are.

463
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm interested to talk to dan Orlowski

464
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: and find out what he thinks about you know what,

465
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: why are they missing? You know, why are they clunking

466
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: along offensively?

467
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

468
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: Because and I'll probably pose him this exact question. Why

469
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: there's a there's an elixir, there's something that will fix

470
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: every offense in the NFL. But it's not the same

471
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: fix for every offense. There's everything's different. It'll be interesting

472
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: to see what he sees about Buffalo that he thinks

473
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: is different than when they were clicking. Certainly, maybe it'll

474
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: be Steph Diggs and his inability to, you know, to

475
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: get enough targets or get enough catches whatever to get separation.

476
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be something about the run game. I don't know.

477
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: It still seems to me, and I'll say this, their

478
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: offensive line still seems to be playing at a high level. Now.

479
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: There were times when they struggled against against the Patriots

480
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: that Patriots defense gave him something, but they still they

481
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: put the brakes on and still scored twenty seven points

482
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: on them, well twenty one points on him. And they

483
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: would have scored another touchdown had it you have come

484
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: been down close to it because they knelt down so

485
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: they they were on it. We'll see, though, I'm interested

486
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: to see what it looks like to people outside this

487
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: building as to what would fix or help, because you know,

488
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: you get a guy like Tom Sandle listen, run those

489
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: RPOs go under center. Okay, well it might work. I

490
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: want to hear somebody who studies film say that. Yeah,

491
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, he may be right, Tom, maybe right? Because

492
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: anything on the money. Hey, I'll listen, I'll listen.

493
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: Sure, let's uh, let's jump back on the phones. Go

494
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: to Mark in Jersey City. What do you got for

495
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: his mark?

496
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 6: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Whoever Duke Riley is covering, throw at him. Yeah,

497
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 6: I mean, just as Hill took him to the cleaners.

498
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 6: That was ugly, and he's a decent receiver, but it

499
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 6: just seemed like they were running him downfield and stretching

500
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 6: them and then just coming back to the ball. They

501
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 6: anybody k or Coos throwing throw at him. He's their

502
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 6: most snaps corner, even with all those guys healthy, he

503
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 6: has their snap count up by far. And they rely

504
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 6: on Silo and Wilkins a lot. They are They are

505
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 6: double and a half any Bills linement defensive lineman in

506
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 6: terms of snapcount. I think Wilkins is almost at nine hundred.

507
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 6: And if you watch that game back yet Chris not.

508
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: Yet, But I saw bits and pieces.

509
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 6: They looked, they looked done. They looked they looked.

510
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: At was watching the condensed version.

511
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I was.

512
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: The same thing I did. And that game was weird.

513
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 6: Steve will tell you he'll drop the shurtfire touchdown, had

514
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 6: to settle for a field goal. Claypool dropped an easy touchdown.

515
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 6: Big guy like him, you expect to come down with that.

516
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 6: And then the Ravens were they were determined to put

517
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 6: fifty on them because of last year. They wanted to

518
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 6: do it. It was it was very obvious. Yeah, they

519
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 6: remind me of the twenty twenty bills where they run

520
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 6: a lot of dead sprints. They score fast, get chunk

521
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 6: plays and that defense gets put out there a lot

522
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 6: more than you realize, and they looked tired.

523
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might be one of those games where you

524
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: come out and hand the ball to Latavious in the

525
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: first half and then just pound on him. Maybe you

526
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: know Leonard Fournette too, or Ty Johnson and pound on him.

527
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: Then in the second half, bring Cook in and let

528
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: him snap off a couple of big ones. Just lean

529
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: on those guys with Osiris and McGovern up front with

530
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: Mitch and just pound on them for a little bit

531
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: before you get going. Maybe you do go under center

532
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: and go RPO. I don't know, but yeah, I'm with

533
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: you the Dolphins. There were times in that Baltimore game,

534
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: and you would expect it in that Baltimore game when

535
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: the Dolphins looked bad and Tua looked bad at times.

536
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: He looked like a little bit unaware in the pocket,

537
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: a little bit clunky in the pocket, which usually he looks,

538
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, he keeps his eyes up, but you know,

539
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: there's a couple of plays where I was like, man Nate,

540
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: they looked like they were out of sync mentally rather

541
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: than you know, schematically or anything like that. I that

542
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore game was ugly. Now, they were on the road,

543
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: and they don't play well on the road, but man

544
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: it showed.

545
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're four and four on the road this year,

546
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: seven and one at home, which isn't terribly different from

547
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: the Bills. Bills are finished seven and two at home,

548
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: and they are three and four on the road.

549
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, then seven to one at home. That means now

550
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: they were at no. That was a road game.

551
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 2: Counting the Kanpas Bills game counts the Jacksonville London game

552
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: as a home game, So there's seven in County Jacksonville,

553
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: seven and one. Here in the stadium in Miami, Miami,

554
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: there're seven and one at home.

555
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were at that Kansas City game was a

556
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: road game, so they were. They're four and four on

557
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: the road, four and four on the on the road.

558
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: Bills win. They finished with identical home and away records.

559
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: The only difference is the Bills have the series sweep

560
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: if they win. That's right, and that makes all the

561
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: difference in the world, as.

562
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: We know, the only difference.

563
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will be interested to watch that tape. Had

564
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: a chance to do it yet, but I will before

565
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: Sunday for sure. Yeah. It's it was. It's not good

566
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: tape for the Dolphins.

567
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: It's not. And at moments it was really good, you know,

568
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: because they always flash. They've got some guys, no question

569
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: about it. They've got some is a problem. Yeah, they

570
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: they and he had a big game against the Bills

571
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: and their defensive front did flash like like the caller said,

572
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: But you can tell something was missing on the road

573
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: for them.

574
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,000

00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: It was the first one o'clock game for the Bill

623
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: since Week seven and right back to prime time this week.

624
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 4: But they love us, right, But this is love.

625
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: This is uh, this is like an old fashioned one too.

626
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: This is you can see it coming. You can see

627
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: it coming like a month ago.

628
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 4: Right, you know, if everything played out how we go, I.

629
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: Mean, they gotta lose to you figure they lose to Baltimore,

630
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: you know the whole thing.

631
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: Billy was expecting him to lose to Tennessee at home.

632
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: I'll say this, there was a lot of doubt here

633
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: when you sat here, When you're sitting here in these

634
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: two seats, I'm not gonna mention, but when you're sitting

635
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: here in these two seats, you look out and you

636
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: got the Jets, the Eagles, the Chiefs, the Cowboys, the Chargers,

637
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, and you kind of feel like you

638
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: almost got to run the table. Yeah, And it's hard

639
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: to get to this Miami game and say, yeah, we

640
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: got this, let's go, you know.

641
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Their only loss is to the Eagles in overtime

642
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: on the road in a driving rain store at time

643
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: with thanks to a fifty nine yard field goal at

644
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: the end of regulation.

645
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 4: I didn't think he would have had a chance to make.

646
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 4: I don't think might be the.

647
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: Kick of the year, could be in light of the

648
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: conditions and the distance, might be the kick of the year.

649
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: Might be the kick of the year.

650
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: But the entire leak.

651
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they might be one and done though they're

652
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: not playing well.

653
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they would have that would have been like

654
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: five losses in a row for them.

655
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 4: That could have been bad for them.

656
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, unfortunate that they got that one. Okay, So

657
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: seeing what happened to Miami last week against a quarterback

658
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: with somewhat of a similar skill set to that of

659
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, does that encourage you for the Bills this week?

660
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 4: Absolutely it does.

661
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 7: And you're talking about a guy who can probably throw

662
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 7: it at least thirty or forty yards far than Lamar Jackson,

663
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 7: and with.

664
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 4: His running ability and.

665
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 7: How he moves around the pocket man, yeah, he's more

666
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 7: dangerous I think than Lamar. Even though Lamar had a

667
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 7: great game last week and pretty much had a He's

668
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 7: had a solid year.

669
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: The numbers are a little.

670
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: Off his MVP year, but they're winning games.

671
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 4: They're winning games, and that's so.

672
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: And after a game like that late in the season,

673
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: when they're the one seed and they lock up the

674
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: one seed, it's hard to it's hard to give them.

675
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: He put the m v P trophy in his back

676
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: now if it is the Dolphins. So if Josh comes

677
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: out and has a game like he did the first matchup,

678
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: he might get the votes.

679
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: Well, that was a perfect perfect passer rating four.

680
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: He might get a couple of votes, But I don't

681
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: think he's going to wrench it away from Lamar, although

682
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: they be the two seed too.

683
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: Throughout this entire schedule. Right here, we have an opportunity

684
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 4: to be the.

685
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: Two seed now, which means your host at least at

686
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: least playoff games, provided you keep winning.

687
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 7: Provided you keep winning, the AFC Championship would be in

688
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 7: Baltimore if everything went well. If everything goes well, I

689
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 7: mean they could possibly have the AFC Championship game there.

690
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: I will remind everyone that in twenty eighteen, when Lamar

691
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: won the MVP, the Ravens went fourteen to two. They

692
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: were the number one seed and they got up ended

693
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 2: by Tennessee Tennis in the divisional round and got bounced

694
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 2: from the playoffs unceremoniously.

695
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I can't name one wide receiver on that team.

696
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 2: On the Ravens team from eighteen, this.

697
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: One Odell's playing really well and Bateman is too.

698
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 8: And.

699
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 2: Likely it's been a knight for Andrews.

700
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 7: Andrews, Yeah, so I mean he's hey, look, he's proven

701
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 7: that if you give him some weapons, he can have

702
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 7: an MVP year.

703
00:34:59,120 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 4: Yeah.

704
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 7: You look at the past couple of years he hasn't

705
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 7: had all those wide receivers, and then his Russian numbers

706
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 7: up because Russian numbers are actually down.

707
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: Now, Well, they made investments in receiver. They drafted Likely,

708
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 2: They drafted Rashad Bateman in the first round. Is last

709
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: year they drafted Za Flowers in the first round and

710
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: they signed back him to a one year deal. And

711
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 2: you see the difference. Now. They've had some misses too.

712
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: You know, Hollywood Brown didn't pan out there. I think

713
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 2: he was a second round pick if I remember right.

714
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: And Bateman's had injuries in his first couple of years

715
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: and didn't do a whole lot until now. But yeah,

716
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 2: and I think the MVP of that organization is Todd Monkin,

717
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 2: the new OC who came in from Georgia where he

718
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 2: won back to back national titles. He goes to Baltimore

719
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: and sets that offensive system up, and man, they look

720
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: like a machine.

721
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 4: Well, I think when you get Todd you have to

722
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 4: change your offense.

723
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 7: I mean, he's coming from Georgia. I mean they got

724
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 7: wide receivers and big bodies.

725
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 2: All they got front five stars all over there.

726
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 7: Exactly and uh and so and and you know what,

727
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 7: the running game and ain't bad at all either.

728
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 4: I mean, you talk about what's his name, Matthews?

729
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 2: Was it?

730
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: Is it Matthews?

731
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: You're talking about the Ravens.

732
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 4: The Ravens.

733
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got Justice Hill back.

734
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 4: There and Olahoma State.

735
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: I get it now, Yeah he was. He was big

736
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: in the passing game this year.

737
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 7: And the guy, god, I can't think of these guys

738
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 7: name now law the wide receiver.

739
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 4: Oklahoma State got two guys there. We got two guys there.

740
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair.

741
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 7: But yeah, they're there. He's having he's having a great season.

742
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 7: So but I tell you what their defense. That's the

743
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 7: key they've been able to. We talk about a physical

744
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 7: defense that played physical from first quarter to the fourth quarter.

745
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 7: That's how they've beat That's how they beat San Francisco.

746
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 7: And that's they're a bully defense.

747
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 4: And they will let you know that.

748
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was watching I was watching their film,

749
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: and you know, like when the when they got a

750
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: guy stood up, everybody got to stood up. Here's think

751
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: about this little detail. You'll know exactly what I mean.

752
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: So you got this guy stood up and nobody's gonna

753
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: hit the ground. They blow it dead right, they got

754
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: the guys. It was one of those push things where

755
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: they got probably always stops pushing last, right, you know

756
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like they got like there's like nineteen

757
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: of the twenty two guys pushing against each other, and

758
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 1: they blow the whistle, everybody stops pushing. Well, one team

759
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: will stop putting, the other king just keep pushing until

760
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: they always push you back further. It's always stuff like that.

761
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: It's always like the extra shove out of bounds. It's

762
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: the extra hit out of bounds. And I'll say this too.

763
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: One of the the strategies that they have always used

764
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: under John Harbaugh. Say, for instance, you get into a

765
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: game where like at the end of a half where

766
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: gotta have it last play whatever, if you got the ball,

767
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna try and score. You're on the four yard

768
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: line going in even gold Gohost situations. Even at any

769
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: point you're not scoring on them, it's hard because they'll

770
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: pull you down by the face mask killed dare.

771
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 2: You're not gonna throw it on every play. So I'm

772
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: just gonna keep g gonna.

773
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: They're gonna get they're gonna get tired of throw on

774
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: the flag. That's they'll give you first and goal on

775
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: the one go ahead. We're gonna, We're gonna and they

776
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: just don't you know, they won't.

777
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 2: They don't care.

778
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 4: They don't care.

779
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 7: That's why they had probably one of the best leaders

780
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 7: ever in Ray Lewis. That was Ray playing on their football.

781
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 7: That is what when you look at the two super

782
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 7: Bowls that they've won, it's been their defense. Yeah, has

783
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 7: really came through in both of those super.

784
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: Bowl And it's a solid it's a solid strategy, no

785
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: question about it.

786
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, concerning concerning though, let's get back

787
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 2: on Bill's Dolphins here. Concerning this game, We've been asking

788
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: our callers this today, what do you think therms should

789
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: should be the emphasis on offense this week against this Dolphins.

790
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 4: Defense, considering that they have so many injuries.

791
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 7: I mean, he just lost Phillips, I mean, I mean

792
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 7: if i'm cooking office or last I'm ready to cook.

793
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm ready to cook right now.

794
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 7: Whoever's replacing Chubbs, look out, because we're coming right at

795
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 7: you right now.

796
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: Whoever that whoever that guy may, I kind of agree.

797
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: Might be It might be Melvin Ingram, might be Melvin.

798
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 7: Solid though the solid better know the last time we

799
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 7: were here with Chargers, right.

800
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: He's given he's given Spenser and two.

801
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a handful. But I think Deon is playing well.

802
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: Yes, he is very well.

803
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, so uh yeah, I wouldn't worry about that.

804
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 7: But yeah, I'm attacking these guys. Uh, I know we

805
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 7: want Josh as yet had an unbelievable career so far

806
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 7: against the Dolphins in a short six or seven.

807
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 4: I don't even know how long he's been in the league, right, because.

808
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 2: He's got some mills of the last ten against none

809
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: of the last ten.

810
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 4: Hey, you got to make a ten of the last eleven.

811
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 7: I mean the playoffs starts.

812
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: We were argue it started a month.

813
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 4: A month.

814
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, we we've moved it. We've moved it back,

815
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 7: the line back. This is a game that they have

816
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 7: to win. So yeah, I'm looking for them to come

817
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 7: out and hey, look.

818
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 4: Are getting a little bit healthier defense, especially on defense.

819
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 7: And uh, you know, and when you look at this

820
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 7: stretch of games or whatever, their defense have been the

821
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 7: one that's been caring them.

822
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: Closed out the Chiefs game, closed out, closed out the

823
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 2: Chargers game.

824
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

825
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 7: And this is not something where teams are scoring le points,

826
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 7: dominated the New England game.

827
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

828
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 4: Right.

829
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 7: So, I mean this defense is playing as many as

830
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 7: the injuries that we've had, and they're getting healthy right now.

831
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 7: I mean, what was a great sight to see the

832
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 7: other day when I saw a picture of at Mulatto

833
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 7: in the locker room smile, and I'm.

834
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 4: Like, you know what, we missed that guy, right, I

835
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 4: missed that guy right there.

836
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 7: But they have kept it together as a football team,

837
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 7: especially on the defensive side.

838
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: I will say this too before we go to break here,

839
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: that you're talking about how the Bills should attack this

840
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: defense in Miami. We were talking to some of the

841
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: guys in Miami, and you know, Christian Wilkins and Zach Siler,

842
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: they go to three to four defense and uh and

843
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: ray Kwan Davis down inside. They stay on the field

844
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 1: a long time. They stay a lot. They don't rotate

845
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: those guys out like the Bills do so up to

846
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: the yeah up tempo and run right at him a

847
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: lot if you can get first downs and run at

848
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: them and just wear them out, get them, get them

849
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: down into the into their depth. And I hate to

850
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: say it, but you know, run the ball.

851
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: I mean it'll make it.

852
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 4: It'll make a difference.

853
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 7: If it's second and five, a second and six, it

854
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 7: would make a huge.

855
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: That was one of the problems they had last week.

856
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 2: They couldn't stay on schedule on offense here against the Patriots. Say,

857
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: you know, first down, the line gets blown up. You know,

858
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: Cooks dropped for a two yard loss. Now second and twelve,

859
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: and then they're coming after you. They're getting exotic with

860
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: their blitz packages, and it's like, oh hey.

861
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 7: And it seemed like in a way that we weren't

862
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 7: prepared for it either. I'm not saying that they had

863
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 7: a good plan. They had a good they had a

864
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 7: good plant. It's Bill Belichick, right, he had a good plant,

865
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 7: you know.

866
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean, well, and you play into his hands when

867
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: it's second and twelve, third and nine, you know, and.

868
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 4: What we had to do. I think in a couple

869
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 4: of times, second and twelve.

870
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 7: We were throwing screen pass to Stefan Diggs and that

871
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 7: was that was.

872
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the early drops really hurt the Bill's offensibility to

873
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: stay on the feet. They start because of it, but

874
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: then later on they were they were convert they were

875
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: catching it and they were converting third downs. You know,

876
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: Shakir had one, Davis had more than one had. They

877
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: had a bunch of them, so Kincaid had one knocks out.

878
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: So they had a bunch of guys converting third downs

879
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: and it kind of got back on track after that.

880
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: But slow start, I thought it was because of the drops,

881
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: but we'll see. I mean, they got a fast start

882
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: would really go along with.

883
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: Break time for us here. When we come back, we'll

884
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: discuss this game a little bit more with Therm and

885
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 2: see if there's anything that concerns him concerning that Dolphins roster.

886
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 2: When we return here on one Bill's Live presented by

887
00:42:52,680 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 2: co Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, all right back.

888
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: You know, I wanted Bill Slive, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

889
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame, Thurman Thomas with us in studio,

890
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 2: and we said before the break, I was gonna ask

891
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 2: them in this any concerns whatsoever about what Miami can

892
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 2: put out there on the field. We know they're injury riddled.

893
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: Wattle may or may not play, don't know what moster

894
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 2: its condition is. We know Chubb is out for the season,

895
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: no Jalen Phillips, no Xavier Howard in all likelihood either,

896
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 2: any concerns about this Dolphins team in any way, shape

897
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: or form.

898
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 7: I think there's still a little bit concerned about what

899
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 7: they can do on offense.

900
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it's still got Tyreek Hill.

901
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 2: Right, number one scoring team in the league.

902
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 4: Number one scoring team in the league, and that hasn't

903
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 4: changed at all. I mean, you got a coach over

904
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 4: there who likes to do a lot of.

905
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 7: Things nobody's ever seen. He's very curative. So I mean,

906
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 7: I wouldn't put in past anything. Being the last game

907
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 7: of the season up for the division tight, I think

908
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 7: they've already clinched, right, they will.

909
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 2: They're they're in the matter of win and second second

910
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 2: lose six and at Kansas City at.

911
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 4: Kansas Yeah, so they got a lot of play for

912
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 4: it too.

913
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: They're gon't be desperate even though they're injured.

914
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're injury.

915
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 2: It gonna be a desperate team. They know how important

916
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: it is to host the playoff game rather than go

917
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 2: on on the road to Narrowhead.

918
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

919
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 7: Well, I mean you look at their their veteran players, Jayalen, Ramsey, Wilkinson,

920
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 7: I mean Wilkinson.

921
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 4: Those guys.

922
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 7: There's probably two guys that you're looking at right now

923
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 7: that's probably going to be, you know, leading the forefront

924
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 7: of getting these guys energy and getting these guys.

925
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 4: Up and getting the crowd into the game.

926
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 7: I mean, like you said, they're wounded right now. They

927
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 7: wounded right now.

928
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: You know what happens sometimes in your back a team.

929
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 4: And wow, exactly. And they're at home, so you know,

930
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 4: you they played fairly well.

931
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: I think this year at home they're seven and two

932
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 2: and seven and.

933
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 4: Seven and one at home.

934
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 7: So yeah, but look, I think there's so much a

935
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 7: state right now for the Bills that they're going to

936
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 7: be ready.

937
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 4: I do believe that they're going to be read. They're

938
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 4: going to be ready for anything.

939
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 7: I think Sean McDermott is at that point now where hey,

940
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 7: anything is possible right now, especially going into the last

941
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 7: game of the season. They want to knock us out,

942
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 7: have an opportunity to knock us out. And they won't

943
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 7: to have an opportunity to win that second.

944
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're only lost at homes to the Titans by

945
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: one point.

946
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 2: That was the game nobody thought they would lose, right,

947
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 2: got beat by a rookie quarterback who was inspired. Yea,

948
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: even though the Titans tried really hard to give him.

949
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: We tried to give it back to him, two turnovers.

950
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: In the twenty inside the twenty yard line the second

951
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: half up six, and watched it turn into a thirteen

952
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: point deficit with three minutes left, and the Dolphins still

953
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: lost the game to the Titans.

954
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: And we're hoping the Titans can win this weekend.

955
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would help it beat the Jaguars.

956
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: We have no shot at that.

957
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have to see if Trevor Lawrence plays.

958
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, where is it hey day? He's gonna piss in

959
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 4: Jacksonville or in Tennessee.

960
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 2: I'll have to check. I don't remember where the game's at,

961
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 2: but I think Lawrence, it's cut it out and play,

962
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: or at least try.

963
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: It's in Tennessee, Tennessee. It's in Tennessee.

964
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 7: Realistic chance that they can win that game, yeah Tennessee, right, Yeah,

965
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 7: I mean.

966

00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee Miami game in Miami where Tennessee did beat him.

1006
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: That's the only law only loss they've taken in that

1007
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: stadium this year.

1008
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 8: So it.

1009
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's there. They played good down there, they

1010
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: played good down That's gonna be a night game as well.

1011
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be good weather.

1012
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 4: They're gonna be I think there's gonna be a lot

1013
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 4: of bills fans.

1014
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: Oh sure, I mean, so these are the I don't know.

1015
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 2: I know five people already just in my neighborhood that

1016
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 2: are going to that game. I know about forget about

1017
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 2: all of Western New York, the transplants that live.

1018
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: Down there, already, I got ticket prices coming across my timeline,

1019
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: and you can go for this much, this much.

1020
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 4: So the billship feel really comfortable.

1021
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 2: Some of the prime seats are going for like eight

1022
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 2: hundred bucks a seat, which for Miami is high, like

1023
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 2: because they kind of Miami fans, kind of play.

1024
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 7: Dolphin players could walk out there and look at this

1025
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 7: date and be like, they don't believe in us, our

1026
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 7: own fans.

1027
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 2: I think they'll be desperate. I do, because they know

1028
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: how important it will be to be at home for

1029
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 2: playoff games. They'll be they'll be fighting them to win

1030
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 2: the game.

1031
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure they will. Yeah, I'll give them that. I'm

1032
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 7: taking Seventeen is taking over. Okay, seventeen's taking over seventeen.

1033
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 4: Fourteen and four. That's it, They're taking over.

1034
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: We said this as well as the the game they

1035
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,439
Speaker 1: just had against Baltimore or Baltimore lumped them up pretty good,

1036
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: and we said at the beginning of this this the

1037
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: other segment. You know, Bills are kind of built like Baltimore.

1038
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: They got that quarterback who's the centerpiece of second second

1039
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: reaction off the cuff stuff, this big arm and playmakers

1040
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: around him. Strong on the ground like the Bills of

1041
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, proven they have they are at the last month.

1042
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: It's the same kind of matchup from Miami and they

1043
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: and Josh as always. I mean Josh ten and two

1044
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: against these guys. And you know the two losses was

1045
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: his rookie season when Charles Klay dropped that ball off

1046
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: his face mask on the last game on the goal

1047
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: line in the no, he's two yards deep in the

1048
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: end zone. And then the the heat game here. So

1049
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: those are the only two losses Josh had. They ran

1050
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: out of time when they ran out of time. Wh Yeah,

1051
00:49:55,640 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: they match up bad against against Josh so and so

1052
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,919
Speaker 1: do so the Baltimore the same, same kind of things

1053
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: we'll see.

1054
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 4: So at this point right now we can say the

1055
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 4: rivalry is back. I think it's because because it was

1056
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 4: just Buffalo Timmy.

1057
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 7: It wasn't New England and the Jets. It was just

1058
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 7: it was in Miami. Yeah, until you know Tom Brady came.

1059
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 2: I will say much like the New England thing, Like

1060
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 2: Bills fans called New England their arrival. But people in

1061
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 2: New England laughed at that. They're like, we've won the

1062
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 2: last fifteen in a row. This isn't a rivalry. This

1063
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 2: is called a stomping right now to the last ten. Yeah,

1064
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 2: can we call that a rivalry?

1065
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 4: Like I don't know.

1066
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 2: Dolphins are a good team.

1067
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're a good team.

1068
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: It is a rivalry because the game means something. Okay, yeah,

1069
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: that's fair, and it's the division and you played once

1070
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: and there's yeah we got.

1071
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 4: We got two top quarterbacks like Marino and Kelly.

1072
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, I can.

1073
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: I can live with that. That's fine. Enjoy the game, Thurman.

Speaker 2: going to begin as he usually does on a Tuesday,

1091
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 2: with ESPN analyst former NFLQB Dan Orlowski, whose segment is

00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 2: weekend might be a good weekend to do that, Dan,

1097
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 2: how you doing, Happy New Year, Glad to have you

1098
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 2: with us. I guess we should begin with Buffalo's game

1099
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 2: this past Sunday, once again another sputtering offense, slow start,

1100
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 2: kind of gained some traction in the third quarter there

1101
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: with a touchdown drive to kind of go up by

1102
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: two scores, but really it was buffer defense and the

1103
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 2: special teams flipping the field that really made the difference

1104
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 2: in this one for them. What was your takeaways from it?

1105
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1106
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 8: I agree with what you said, Chris. I think three

1107
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 8: things that you know stand out when you watch the

1108
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 8: game in a not positive fashion for Buffalo One. It

1109
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 8: was the first time in a long time, in a

1110
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 8: long time that this offensive line got absolutely beat up.

1111
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 8: You know, Josh was under duress for the great majority

1112
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 8: of the game, and in conjunction with that, Josh didn't

1113
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 8: really make any plays when he was under pressure, and

1114
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 8: that's again abnormal. I think, you know, he was under

1115
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 8: pressure nine different occasions, and he got ten yards in

1116
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 8: those nine different occasions. That's abnormal for him. I think

1117
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 8: the second thing was Josh played impatient. You know there

1118
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 8: were times when New England, to what New England does

1119
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 8: and so often many teams against Josh ortion to be patient,

1120
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 8: would not chake take checkdowns in the game. Again, abnormal

1121
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 8: for him. Certainly his play over the last five or

1122
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 8: six weeks. And then there were some misses, some just

1123
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 8: kind of just off misses that could have been bigger plays.

1124
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 8: Josh did not throw the ball. Well, it's the worst

1125
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 8: game I've seen him throwing the ball, just when I

1126
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 8: when it comes to throwing the ball, it's the worst

1127
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,439
Speaker 8: game I've seen from him, maybe since the Denver game.

1128
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 8: So just get away with a bad performance type of win,

1129
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 8: specifically on offense.

1130
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 1: I said this earlier in the week yesterday, I guess actually,

1131
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: but you know, when these guys watch this film and

1132
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: when Josh watches it, when the offensive coaches watching Joe

1133
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: Brady offensive coordinator, A lot of fans don't want to

1134
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: hear this, but sometimes the advice is this, guys, we

1135
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: just got to play better. It's not sexy. It's not like, Okay,

1136
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: now we've got to run more RPOs, we got to

1137
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: go under center, we gotta do you know, take the

1138
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 1: deep ball, we gotta whatever.

1139
00:54:59,360 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 4: Whatever.

1140
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes just like, guys, just play better. You're not playing

1141
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: as well as you can play. And I know that's

1142
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: not a hot take or a sexy pick or anything

1143
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: like that, but is that kind of what we're looking at.

1144
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 8: I think specifically off this weekend absolutely Steve like they

1145
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 8: just didn't play good. And I again, like, you know,

1146
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 8: their offensive line, and you have to credit New England.

1147
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 8: New England obviously playing very high level defense. Barmore was

1148
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 8: fantastic on the interior, so they and this is a

1149
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 8: unit offensive line wise where you know, I've been one

1150
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,919
Speaker 8: of the people who have like, man, this has become

1151
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 8: a strength of this football team instead of a weakness.

1152
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 8: They just got physically beat at the point on a

1153
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 8: consistent basis. And you can see there were times they

1154
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 8: were trying to mix things up with this game. They

1155
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 8: tried to go under cent her a little bit, they

1156
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 8: tried to run some of their RPOs and you know,

1157
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 8: Josh just missed throws. Again, I don't mechanically, there was

1158
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 8: nothing off. I think it's the worst passing game I've

1159
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 8: seen him, one of the worst just throws outside of

1160
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 8: decision making, missed throws. Probably one of the worst performances

1161
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 8: of the season for Josh. And I think that's just

1162
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 8: an abnormal thing. I listen, you get away with it

1163
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 8: and you win the game. You'd rather have that be

1164
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 8: the case than going down to Miami and it's showing

1165
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 8: itself in a man. We win and we're in and

1166
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 8: we win the division game. So you find a way

1167
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 8: to win the game. That's all that matters. You're gonna

1168
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 8: have to play better next week, no question about it,

1169
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 8: and I think they will quickly.

1170
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,919
Speaker 2: On the defense, you know, great performance, they get three

1171
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 2: takeaways in the first quarter, short fields to the offense

1172
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 2: that was struggling. I mean, it was the perfect tonic

1173
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 2: for what was ailing the offense. Even though they didn't

1174
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 2: cash in every time with a touchdown. The mantra for

1175
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott taking over this defense as the play caller

1176
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 2: was to get more splashed plays out of this defense.

1177
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 2: They've always been a good yards against defense, good at

1178
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 2: getting off the field on third down, but they never

1179
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 2: really wowed you with big plays. They'd have some, but

1180
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 2: they wouldn't wow you. And under McDermott this year, sacks,

1181
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 2: quarterback hits, takeaways, you know, fumbles and interceptions. They have four.

1182
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 2: You know on Sunday Rasuell Douglas has been a revelation.

1183
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 2: He's got six takeaways in seven games with the Bills.

1184
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 2: But McDermott wanted to be more aggressive with his play calling.

1185
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 2: I think he has done that. You tell me different,

1186
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 2: But I think it's paid off for them.

1187
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 8: Oh, there's no question it has. In a year when

1188
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 8: they've dealt with devastating injuries, Sean defensively has gone back

1189
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 8: to his roots. You know, Sean learned under Jim Johnson,

1190
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 8: the longtime Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator that was notorious for

1191
00:57:55,080 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 8: all these exotic blitzes and pressures. And when Sewn and

1192
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 8: Leslie Fraser work together to your point like, the defense

1193
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 8: was really good, but you don't create splash plays the

1194
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 8: way you're talking about him, Chris, or game altering or

1195
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 8: changing plays by Stan still defense and I have felt

1196
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 8: again good defense. I'm not trying to minimize the performance,

1197
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 8: but the defense, while it has been good over the

1198
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 8: past couple of years, has been standstill. It hasn't had

1199
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 8: a ton of defensive line movement. There hasn't been a

1200
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 8: ton of pressure from any second and or the third

1201
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 8: level if you look at it now, I have just

1202
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 8: in this game alone, one, two, three, four, five, six

1203
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 8: different first down either run blitzes or run blitzes that

1204
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 8: turned into a sack. So way, what I mean by

1205
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 8: run blitz is you're blitzing people from your second level

1206
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 8: on first down, not to overload the offense and try

1207
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 8: to get a sack. You're blitzing to try to stam

1208
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 8: remove your defensive line to create a tackle for loss

1209
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 8: that's not really been who they were under Leslie. And

1210
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 8: then their third down blitz package is tremendous when it

1211
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 8: comes to all the different places they're coming from. So

1212
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 8: I think Chris like the way that that Sean has

1213
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 8: decided to just consistently change the picture for the offense,

1214
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 8: it's very different than in the years past, and it

1215
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 8: absolutely is the reason why they're still playing at such

1216
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 8: a good level.

1217
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: When you see this game coming up now, it's the

1218
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: last game of the season. Obviously it's game two seventy

1219
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: two in the National Football League Sunday Night Football for

1220
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: the division winners the two seed loser. If it's Miami,

1221
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: they're the sixth seed automatic and Bills may still have

1222
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: a chance depending on how the other games fall. This

1223
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: a big one, but Dolphins come in here, they're hobbled

1224
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: by injury and they just took a big shot to

1225
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: the mouth from the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, how do

1226
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,439
Speaker 1: you what are your opening thoughts about this game?

1227
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 8: In this matchup, Steve, initial thought is that six weeks

1228
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 8: you know, you guys would have said this to your

1229
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 8: fan base. Everyone would have said you're crazy, you know,

1230
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 8: to go on the road week eighteen when the division

1231
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 8: be the two seeds. So credit to the organization a

1232
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 8: team to get themselves here advantage Buffalo in this game.

1233
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 8: I felt that way before the unfortunate injury to you know,

1234
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 8: Miami and their defensive end Bradley Chubb. I think offensively.

1235
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 8: This has to be a Kincaid and if I'm being honest,

1236
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 8: a Shakir game. That's my initial thought. Now, if they'll

1237
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 8: finally move Steph on the inside and work Steph in

1238
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 8: the slot, it becomes Steph. But whoever's that slot receiver?

1239
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 8: Miami has showed Jayalen Ramsey's not gonna shadow guys. Will

1240
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 8: that keep happening without Xavi and Howard playing, We'll find out.

1241
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,439
Speaker 8: I would be I don't want to say shocked that

1242
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 8: that doesn't happen, but they they haven't done it really

1243
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 8: outside of the Jets game. So it's got to be

1244
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 8: the middle of the field people in the past game

1245
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 8: number two because of the lack of edge guys. Now

1246
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 8: with Phillips in Chubb out this this is a game

1247
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 8: where you know Josh, Josh should be very comfortable in

1248
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 8: the pocket and patient. You know Vick is going to

1249
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 8: take away the easy completions and he's going to force

1250
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 8: you to be patient. I promise everybody, Miami will play

1251
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 8: drop eight coverage in this game. They will rush three people,

1252
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 8: They will play drop bight coverage. The discipline to hand

1253
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 8: of football off will play it it's part. And then

1254
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 8: I think defensively. You know, they were so good last

1255
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 8: time they've played. They didn't overreact to motions. They played

1256
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 8: in their too high shell. Obviously Milano played in that game.

1257
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 8: The second level of their defense is going to be

1258
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 8: paramount when it comes to get to your landmark, don't

1259
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 8: listen it to his eyes. And if they can do that,

1260
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 8: advantage Buffalo, right.

1261
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 2: And then you know, the Dolphins have been very good

1262
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 2: at home. Their only loss is to the Titans in

1263
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 2: a game that they frittered away after almost being gift

1264
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 2: rappted by Tennessee, you know, with two turnovers inside their twenty,

1265
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 2: you know, under eight minutes to play to give them

1266
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 2: the lead back and then they couldn't hold onto it.

1267
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 2: And that loss is proving costly because it's the reason

1268
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 2: what's on the table is what's on the table in

1269
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 2: addition to the Baltimore loss. So psyche wise, do you

1270
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 2: feel like a Dolphins team at home where they are

1271
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 2: seven and one this season can still muster up some

1272
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 2: desperation knowing how important it will be for them going

1273
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 2: forward to play playoff games at home as opposed to

1274
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 2: on the road.

1275
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, Chris, I think there's part of that. There's desperation,

1276
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 8: and then there's you know, winner go home type of mentality.

1277
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 8: You know in one team, Buffalo has a winner go

1278
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 8: home mentality. I know there's the chance that even if

1279
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 8: they lose, they could still get in, but I promise

1280
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 8: you no player intoor coach thinks in that capacity. So

1281
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 8: you've got one team that knows their season and not

1282
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 8: only like their season is on the line, with the

1283
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 8: chance to get the playoffs is really outside of Buffalo

1284
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 8: or excuse me, Baltimore, Like anybody can go win it,

1285
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 8: anybody that gets in. So you're not only thinking, oh,

1286
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 8: our playoff life is online, You're thinking, hey, we can

1287
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 8: get it. We can go beat anybody. And so I

1288
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 8: think that there's more of the mindset for the players

1289
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 8: of you know, we have to go win this game

1290
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 8: or we're done. And I think you'll come out you'll

1291
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 8: see a way more aggressive football team than you have

1292
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 8: in the past two weeks. And Miami's got a lot

1293
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 8: to play for it. But I think Buffalo has a

1294
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 8: little bit more of the liver die mentality.

1295
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 2: Dan, thanks as always, appreciate the time. We'll catch up

1296
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 2: with you next week.

1297
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 8: Enjoy guys.

1298
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 2: All right, that's Dan Olotski joining us as he does

1299
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 2: every week You're on One Bills Live on Tuesdays, hour

1300
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 2: number two of the show, and he does make a

1301
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 2: good point because the Dolphins already know they're going to

1302
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 2: the postseason. The Bills don't know that. So while they

1303
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 2: might be desperate to try to get the two seed

1304
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 2: and the home playoff game, the Bills are quite literally

1305
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 2: playing for their playoffs. By the time they get to

1306
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 2: Sunday night, they may know they're in any way, based

1307
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 2: on how those other games turn out.

1308
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: The Bills are playing without a net, without a safety net.

1309
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 2: They're up on a high wire.

1310
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Dolphins certainly do have a you know,

1311
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: fallback position. So it's yeah, you gotta watch the You

1312
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: gotta hope the Jaguars or the Steelers lose if they do.

1313
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: If either one of them does, the Bills are in anyway.

1314
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: But of course if the Bills win, doesn't matter what

1315
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: those teams do.

1316
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to be even if you do

1317
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 2: get in because one of those teams loses. You don't

1318
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 2: want to be the six or the seven when you

1319
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 2: have a chance.

1320
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: To be the two exactly. You want to be have

1321
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: home games and all of that stuff that goes with it.

1322
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, although there is one interesting scenario that could

1323
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 2: unfold if the Bills for some reason can't win in Miami.

1324
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 2: Miami is the two seed and I can't remember which,

1325
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 2: whether it's Jacksonville at Pittsburgh. If they lose to allow

1326
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 2: the Bills in the Bills are the seventh seed and

1327
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 2: they would go right back to Miami the next week.

1328
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. Yeah, that would well from this end

1329
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: of this first game, it doesn't. That doesn't bother.

1330
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves here,

1331
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 2: but yeah, just looking at all the different potential outcomes,

1332
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 2: it was interesting to see that that is one that

1333
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 2: could be on the table if the Bills can't find

1334
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 2: a way to win the game on Sunday. But as

1335
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 2: you heard Dan Orlowski say, he thinks it's advantage Buffalo,

1336
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 2: and I understand why for a multitude of reasons, recent history,

1337
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 2: the state of the Dolphins roster, There's a lot of

1338
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 2: factors playing into that thought. How the previous matchup went.

1339
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 2: Although these two teams were very different back then than

1340
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 2: what they look like now, especially knowing that you know

1341
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 2: they had Milana White and dayk one in that game

1342
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 2: they lost White in the fourth quarter for the season.

1343
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 2: But you know, I totally forgot until I looked it

1344
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 2: up this morning. Josh had a perfect passer rating at

1345
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 2: that game. One fifty eight point three three twenty passing. Yeah,

1346
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 2: it was I think he completed his passes or something.

1347
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: It was a thing of beauty.

1348
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was.

1349
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: And that was early in the season as well. It was,

1350
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, first month of the season. Josh was leading

1351
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: the leading the league in UH passer completion percentage and

1352
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: was just crushing it.

1353
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 2: Twenty five sorry, twenty one to twenty five.

1354
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, four touchdowns, no interceptions. Yeah, he was. He was

1355
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: killing it that day. And uh, you know, and you know,

1356
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Latavious Murray had thirty two, Cook had twenty nine, Damien

1357
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: Harris was still in the lineup at twenty nine yards.

1358
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 1: You know, they just they ran the football well with

1359
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys. And yeah, it's quite the day.

1360
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: And I remember too, I was telling people about that.

1361
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: That was a spectacular day. It was one o'clock.

1362
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 2: It was one of those classic sun beautiful September.

1363
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: Day, seventy seventy degrees.

1364
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 2: It was October first.

1365
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:14,479
Speaker 1: Now they think about it, seventy degrees. Absolutely spectacular. Was great.

1366
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 2: It was a goodie. It was a goodie, and we're

1367
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 2: undoubtedly hoping that this Sunday night is a goodie as

1368
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 2: well down there in Miami. Uh eight oh three five

1369
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 2: point fifty one, eight eight eight, five point fifty two,

1370
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 2: five fifty the number to get on board. As we

1371
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 2: are discussing with you today, what should be the emphasis

1372
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 2: of the Bills offense heading into Sunday's game with the Dolphins.

1373
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 2: We had one of our callers tell us, well, I

1374
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 2: think they can run on that defense, and I think

1375
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 2: they can pass on that defense. So mix it up.

1376
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 2: And it's easier said than done, but yeah, I get

1377
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 2: the premise of the argument. If anything, Yeah, just.

1378
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: Catch the ball it's thrown to you, don't don't fumble

1379
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: it away, don't throw it to the other team. You'll

1380
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: be all right.

1381
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1382
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 2: Let's crack open the tweetsheet here, which is brought to

1383
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 2: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1384
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. In terms of what you feel

1385
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 2: should be the emphasis of the Bills offense against Miami,

1386
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 2: Nick says, get Josh in the groove early and negate

1387
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 2: as many zero slash negative yard plays as possible. No

1388
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 2: more sprint draws or wide receiver screens. They don't seem

1389
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 2: to work. I think there's another thing, And you and

1390
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 2: I discussed this in the office this morning, just to

1391
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 2: be mindful of with Josh. These primetime games where a

1392
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 2: lots on the line can sometimes get Josh juiced up,

1393
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 2: maybe even to his own detriment. And I'm all for

1394
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 2: Joe Brady calling an early quarterback run play just so

1395
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 2: he takes a hit and can like breathe an exhale

1396
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 2: and settle into the game. He told us as a

1397
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 2: younger player, he used to tell Dable, give me a

1398
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 2: run on the first possession, so I can just get

1399
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 2: a hit on me and kind of settle down a

1400
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 2: game of this magnitude, he's gonna be juiced just being

1401
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 2: the competitor that he is. Call a run play on

1402
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 2: the first drive of the game for Josh, you know,

1403
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 2: let him, let him get in the mix a little bit,

1404
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 2: you know, so we can settle into the game.

1405
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just a problem. Yeah, call that

1406
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks sweep right, quarterbacks sweep left on the first two

1407
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: players game, and then let him settle in Yeah, Okay,

1408
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know. We shouldn't like transpo and we

1409
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: do this all the time and it's what fans do.

1410
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: But you know, just because we're all amped up about

1411
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:41,600
Speaker 1: this game doesn't mean these guys are going to be

1412
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:43,600
Speaker 1: any different than they have been over the past, you know,

1413
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: a few weeks.

1414
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 4: So uh, but.

1415
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: These games are these games are rare. I mean, it's

1416
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: been a long time since Bill's fans have experienced, let

1417
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: alone the guys that have only been with the team

1418
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years or a year. This is a

1419
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: division championship game. That's big.

1420
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 2: Oh it is uless. On the tweets, she says, run

1421
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 2: game twelve, personnel passing, play action, deep shots, more snaps

1422
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 2: for Ty Johnson, more snaps for Reggie, more running back targets,

1423
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 2: fewer hits on seventeen. So he wants power football here.

1424
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 2: He wants Gilli him on the field. He wants two

1425
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 2: tight ends. He wants Ty Johnson. I will say this,

1426
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 2: Ty Johnson runs with impressive power, and I think it's

1427
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 2: because he's two hundred and fifteen pounds and he's built solid.

1428
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,799
Speaker 2: But he's also got some explosive explosion.

1429
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 8: Jay.

1430
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: He's got a very quick he's got a great burst.

1431
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 1: He's really an explosive athlete. I'm with you. He came

1432
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: in and I like the way they worked at last week.

1433
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: Latavius was in there, he passed pro a couple of routes,

1434
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 1: he ran all of that stuff. But it laid in

1435
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: the game. They took Cook out and put Ty Johnson

1436
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: in because he's fresh and on that fight and that

1437
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 1: four minute drill with a five h two left on

1438
01:10:55,920 --> 01:11:00,799
Speaker 1: the clock, he was pounding it. He was exploded. Everybody

1439
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:02,759
Speaker 1: else on the field have been playing, you know, sixty

1440
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,759
Speaker 1: five seventy snaps, some of them, particularly the big guys

1441
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: down inside, and Ty Johnson played like he was just

1442
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: fresh out of the rapper, and it showed. That was

1443
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: a great way to end that game, and he was

1444
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: a big part of it.

1445
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 2: Bob on the tweet, she says, get digs the ball

1446
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 2: early on somebmid to deep routes ten to twenty five yards.

1447
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 2: Switch it up with running the ball and open up

1448
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 2: the play action game. Basically, get Josh some easy button,

1449
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 2: quick hitters to get him some confidence back. As you

1450
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 2: heard Dan Orlovski say, though, that is exactly what Vic

1451
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 2: Fangio tries to shut off to opposing quarterbacks. With the

1452
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 2: way he schemes his defense, He's going to force Josh

1453
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 2: to be patient. Hopefully he is.

1454
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder, well, never, we won't know until after

1455
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: the game. I wonder if Vic Fangio will be limited

1456
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: at all by his personnel because of the injuries.

1457
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,719
Speaker 2: And you know, well, I think that's why it speaks

1458
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 2: to what Dan said, he's fully expecting rush three, drop

1459
01:11:58,479 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 2: a eight.

1460
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna give those guys some help in the

1461
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: back end and just see what Josh can do. They'll

1462
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: probably maybe spy Josh. They'll play zones so guys have

1463
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: their eyes on him, so if he does start to break, contain,

1464
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: then come up and tackle him short of the line

1465
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: to gain that kind of stuff. But it makes some sense,

1466
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: But I don't know that. If you know, if you're

1467
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, I mean, you're not gonna do the

1468
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: exact same thing every single time. So how many times

1469
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: they get out of the three man rush and get

1470
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: into a four man, five man or bring pressure will

1471
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. But I am in I do

1472
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: wonder if because of Chubb's injury, because of the guys

1473
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: that are already Nick Jalen Phillips already being out of there,

1474
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,919
Speaker 1: the linebacker being nicked. You know how much it affects

1475
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: his play calling defensively.

1476
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and we go to

1477
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 2: Bill in Texas. Next. What do you got for us?

1478
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 4: Bill?

1479
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 2: You're on one Bill's Live.

1480
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Bill.

1481
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 4: You're there?

1482
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, can you hear me?

1483
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 2: I can now?

1484
01:12:56,479 --> 01:13:01,440
Speaker 9: Okay, sorry about that. My question is why can't Buffalo

1485
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 9: use digs like the Cowboys use CD Lamb. He's as

1486
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 9: good a receiver as CD Lamb, if not better. They

1487
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 9: move him in, they move him out. It seems like

1488
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 9: the offense is kind of a vanilla. We're running these

1489
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 9: two little two yard patterns and we're taking the ball

1490
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 9: out of his hands. Second, tight end and flight receivers

1491
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 9: have got to abuse that middle of this week they

1492
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 9: have to. And Third, if you want to fix Josh

1493
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 9: Album from what his problem was last week, watch his feet.

1494
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,759
Speaker 9: His feet are all over the place. He's not set,

1495
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 9: he's not throwing right, and somebody needs to get with

1496
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 9: him and say, hey, when we're practicing, you're practicing against

1497
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 9: one of the best defenses in the league. So what

1498
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 9: you see during practice is probably going to be better

1499
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 9: than what you maybe see during the game. Calm down,

1500
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 9: make your reads, and throw the ball.

1501
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 1: And that's it.

1502
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 9: Thank you, guys, thank you for taking my call.

1503
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 2: Thanks. Yeah. I mean, as we've said before, Josh is

1504
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 2: one of the most self aware quarterbacks, at least I've

1505
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 2: ever been around. And after the game he was saying,

1506
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 2: it didn't feel good coming out of my hand. I know,

1507
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 2: I have some mechanical things that I have to correct

1508
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 2: this week, a lot of the same things that I

1509
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 2: work on in the off season. So I am sharp

1510
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 2: and consistent throwing the ball. So I imagine he'll watch

1511
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 2: the tape, he'll see how his feed looked, and he'll

1512
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 2: get that corrected in practice this week, so he is

1513
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 2: more accurate this coming week, because yeah, it wasn't a

1514
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 2: good week for him from an accuracy perspective and from

1515
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 2: a mechanics perspective, and those things are often tied together.

1516
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 2: So yeah, hopefully he can correct that and practice this week.

1517
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and how this game unfolds, certainly, I was encouraged

1518
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: last week with the creative stuff they did in the

1519
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: run game with digs and Shakir, and I like the

1520
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: way you know Kincaid was used and got a few

1521
01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: more targets. I don't have as big an issue with

1522
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: the with the you know, the wide receiver, the wide throws.

1523
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely every single team in the league uses them. They

1524
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: do them multiple times every game. It forces the defense

1525
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: to honor the line of scrimmage, which means, you know,

1526
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 1: they're not dropping back. They've got, you know, that much

1527
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: more field to cover, So you need to threaten that

1528
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: spot in the field. And it's an easy thing to do.

1529
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: If you threaten them, it's just to step up and

1530
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: throw it and get it out there. Having your players

1531
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: drop the ball is never a good look. And I

1532
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: don't know that all of us would feel the same

1533
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: about those wide receiver screens and tight end screens that

1534
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: are right at the line of scrimmage if they didn't

1535
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 1: drop them once in a while, and particularly this last week.

1536
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: We've seen those plays work during the year, no question,

1537
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: and then we've seen them not work too, as everybody has.

1538
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: But that's not going away. That is a league wide

1539
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: that's not a Buffalo Bill problem. That's a league wide issue.

1540
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 1: So he's got to and like we said yesterday and today,

1541
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: and talk to door danie Rovski about it. Just a

1542
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 1: minute ago. She's got to play better. Make the If

1543
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: they throw you the football, catch it. If you've got

1544
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: the football in your hands, don't drop it and don't

1545
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 1: give it away, and don't throw it to the other team.

1546
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: That's that would be a great start towards a faster

1547
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 1: start for the offense.

1548
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, but when we come back,

1549
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls. We'll lead off with Dave

1554
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 2: You let us know more of your phone calls when

1564
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 2: time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook and the Jets

1565
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 2: have mutually agreed to part ways, allowing Cook the opportunity

1566
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 2: to play for a playoff team. This according to his agent,

1567
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 2: and didn't get a lot of usage in New York

1568
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 2: this year after he signed right before the season, So

1569
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,879
Speaker 2: we'll see if he is picked up by another team.

1570
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 2: In the meantime, we get back to the phones at

1571
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 2: eight h three zero five fifty one eight eight five

1572
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:42,799
Speaker 2: fifty two five point fifty to see what you believe

1573
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 2: should be the emphasis for the Bills this Sunday night

1574
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 2: on offense against the Dolphins, and we go to Dave

1575
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 2: on a cell next. Let's punch him up here.

1576
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:52,600
Speaker 4: What do you have for us?

1577
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 2: Dave? You're on one Bill's Live.

1578
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 10: It's not so much about the offense. I can't listen

1579
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 10: all the time, but when I am listening, I never

1580
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 10: hear anybody talking about how poorly our punt coverage has

1581
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 10: been this year. It cost us the Jets game, It

1582
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 10: might have cost us the Eagles game. They had a

1583
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 10: lot of long punt returns in that game. And it

1584
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,679
Speaker 10: just doesn't seem to me like it gets any better.

1585
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 10: Our punter is getting better, but the coverage is.

1586
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 5: Poor at best.

1587
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 2: I don't think you're wrong, Dave. There have been there

1588
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 2: has been some uneven play on special teams through the season.

1589
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any debate about that. That is

1590
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 2: a fact. Even flipping the field with quality punting was

1591
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 2: an issue for a stretch of time. I think Sam

1592
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 2: Martin has righted himself and pretty well in fact, over

1593
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 2: the last two weeks, in particular at the Chargers and

1594
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:50,799
Speaker 2: home against the Patriots.

1595
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Their net punt this last week was forty seven point three.

1596
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: I mean he had six punts and all of them

1597
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: were inside the ten and a bunch of them were

1598
01:18:58,640 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: inside the five.

1599
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

1600
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: He made the big He made a big difference this

1601
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: last week. Although you're right as a as a whole, the.

1602
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,480
Speaker 2: Long returns had been a problem, Steve.

1603
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a problem. You can't do it. I

1604
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: happen to be in the I happen to be in

1605
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: the end of the stadium towards where the opening kickoff

1606
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 1: ran two into the end zone at the bottom of

1607
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, and you could see it coming, and you

1608
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: know not not only that, but you know, Tyler Bass,

1609
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: you'd like to see him throw himself under the wheels

1610
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: of the chaiot, make the guy trip him up and

1611
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: do something, and he let the guy spin out of it.

1612
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 1: But there's yeah, there's no way you can let that

1613
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 1: happen on an opening kickoff, and it you know, they

1614
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: they rebounded and the punt team kind of covered up

1615
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: for the bad start that they got. You got a

1616
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: defense that gave up fourteen points the entire game, and

1617
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's you know, it's a twenty one.

1618
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: You know they got twenty one points because of the

1619
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 1: opening kickoff. It's it has been an up and down

1620
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: at there. At times it's been fantastic and other times

1621
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: it's been horrific. And it started out and it was

1622
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: this game was a microcosm of that, no question about it.

1623
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 2: Bills are nineteenth in punt return average, twenty fifth in

1624
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 2: kick return average, They are twenty sixth in net punting average,

1625
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 2: They are twenty ninth in punk coverage, they are eleventh

1626
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 2: in kick coverage, and they are twenty eighth in net

1627
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 2: punt average against. So has not been a strong year

1628
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 2: for the cover teams or the return teams for that matter.

1629
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it's hard to eve it's and I

1630
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 1: from my experience, it's hard to put a pinpoint on

1631
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: what exactly the problem would be. It might be the

1632
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,839
Speaker 1: lack you know, it might be the guys that are playing.

1633
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 1: It might be their scheme from a week to week basis.

1634
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 1: Certainly their kickoff the kickoff coverage thing that they're you know,

1635
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 1: tenth in the league and is has more to do

1636
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: with Tyler Bass than it does anybody else. It's yeah,

1637
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: it's an issue. The old adage used to be that

1638
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: special teams could win you at least two games a year,

1639
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: but it should lose you zero. Uh. The Bills got

1640
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 1: beat you know, we keep talking about the fifty nine

1641
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: yard in a rainstorm in Philly that game beat the Bills.

1642
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: The eleven the twelve men on the field beat the Bills.

1643
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

1644
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: So there's two that got you beat right there. Not

1645
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: saying that they should have, you know, automatically blocked a kick,

1646
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: but you know that it got you beat. So the

1647
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 1: Eagles special teams were outstanding and hit a fifty nine

1648
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: yarder in a rainstorm that beat you and got you

1649
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 1: to overtime and beat you and then you know the

1650
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: twelve minute on the field is is absolutely inexcusable by

1651
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: everybody involved. So you can go down the list, and

1652
01:21:56,439 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: then the opening kickoff against the Patriots puts you in

1653
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: a hole. So yeah, it's been an absolutely it's like

1654
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, it's been a roller coaster

1655
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: at best.

1656
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the tweet sheet where Jeremy says,

1657
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 2: give Josh time to throw. I get New England as

1658
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 2: a stellar defense, but he just didn't look like himself

1659
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 2: at all on Sunday. I felt like the defense got

1660
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 2: in his head, which isn't uncommon to see in a

1661
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,799
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick coach team. Own the Dolphins like the last

1662
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 2: six seasons, Ron on the tweets sheet says, there should

1663
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 2: be a focus of getting Cook going in the run

1664
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 2: game and getting Concaid more involved in the passing game. Defensively,

1665
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 2: just get pressure on Tua. Bill's did a good job

1666
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 2: of getting Ta to pat the ball. As for Kencaid,

1667
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 2: if you remember that was just his fourth game as

1668
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 2: a pro, the first matchup, he hadn't really ascended into

1669
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 2: the role that we see him in now, and the

1670
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,040
Speaker 2: Dolphins are vulnerable in the middle of the field. At

1671
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 2: the second level of their defense, as neither of their

1672
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 2: linebackers are good in coverage. The two that play in

1673
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 2: the middle, one of whom is a backup in Duke Riley,

1674
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 2: and I think in Kate and Shakir. To danie Rolowski's

1675
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 2: point earlier, this hour can really eat early in this

1676
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 2: those are mismatches there. Now, maybe who knows, maybe the

1677
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:18,839
Speaker 2: Dolphins come out and surprise you with a dime package

1678
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,639
Speaker 2: and put more light bodies on the field. But hello,

1679
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 2: that's the cutest start running.

1680
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'd love to see him run the

1681
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 1: football like they did against Dallas.

1682
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 4: Everybody would.

1683
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a great way to watch a

1684
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 1: football game when it's your team that's getting it done.

1685
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: But it does put some pressure on your defense to

1686
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: get some stops against an offense that's really high powered.

1687
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, if you can get pressure on Tua,

1688
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 1: you're right, that's the key to their offense. If Tua

1689
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: has to pack the ball in your pressure in him.

1690
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: He's not good under pressure. He doesn't make plays on

1691
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,640
Speaker 1: the run. He does occasionally, but it's not his mo

1692
01:23:56,560 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: like it is with Josh and Lamar and Mahomes and

1693
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 1: these guys. Tua, it's a rarity when he beats you

1694
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: when he's outside the pocket. Although he may get a

1695
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: first down here and there, he struggles with it and

1696
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,759
Speaker 1: he and he he'd have a hard time out running

1697
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: at least two or three of the guys on the

1698
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: Bills defensive line at any given moment. He's not that fast.

1699
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: So you're right, if you get pressure on Tua consistently

1700
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: and fast, you win. I'll go that far. That's that's

1701
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: the winning ingredient.

1702
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, because one thing Tua even struggles with is subtle

1703
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:35,719
Speaker 2: movement in the pocket. That was something that Tom Brady

1704
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 2: was exceptional at, just making a slight half shuffle to

1705
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 2: the right to keep the wind the window of the

1706
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,759
Speaker 2: passing lane open, even when the pocket might be collapsing,

1707
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 2: or he would duck under a rush, you know, coming

1708
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 2: around his back, you know, just shuffle up half a

1709
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: step and deliver the ball and avoid the sack. Tua

1710
01:24:55,320 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 2: doesn't really do that all that often, and there instead

1711
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 2: he sometimes just throws off his back foot and gets

1712
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 2: rid of the ball.

1713
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 1: There were some times in this Baltimore game last week

1714
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: where Tua looked awkward in the pocket trying to avoid

1715
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:16,680
Speaker 1: the rush as he looked like I've never seen him.

1716
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: Look when you can credit Baltimore for that, I would say,

1717
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: not not blame Tua, but yeah, he if you can

1718
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 1: pressure him, that's a bigger problem for him than it

1719
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: is some of the other quarterbacks. That builds a face.

1720
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 2: Let's jump back on the phone lines here and we'll

1721
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 2: go to Mike in East Aurora. What do you got

1722
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 2: for us?

1723
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: Mike?

1724
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:40,679
Speaker 3: Hey, how you doing, guys good. I'm just a little

1725
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 3: perplexed with some of our play calling. Brady started out good,

1726
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 3: but it seems like he's kind of going back to

1727
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 3: some old stuff. I think we really need to throw

1728
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 3: the ball at the running backs more especially. I think

1729
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 3: we should keep four nette in and uh, you know,

1730
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 3: maybe let LaTavia set a couple of games and he

1731
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 3: had a couple drops. But I mean, James Cook and

1732
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 3: Leonard Fournett have proven themselves to be some of the

1733
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 3: best catching running backs in the league, and I feel

1734
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 3: like we just don't do it enough. I mean, it

1735
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 3: should always be an outlet or or your first look.

1736
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 3: I mean, just get get a good quick five seven yards,

1737
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 3: you know. I mean that's what the Patriots did to

1738
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 3: us for twenty years and like it's proven to work,

1739
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,759
Speaker 3: and I just don't understand how Joe Brady started doing

1740
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 3: it when he first started playing Colin plays and now

1741
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 3: it seems like it's kind of gotten away from it

1742
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 3: and it really kind of bugs me. So that's that's

1743
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 3: my thought.

1744
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying.

1745
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 2: Mike Cook has only three targets in last week's game.

1746
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,639
Speaker 2: Josh had him on a wheel route wide open down

1747
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 2: the sideline and he missed him, threw it out of

1748
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 2: bounds and overthrew Cook. Latavius Murray dropped one where he

1749
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 2: had blockers in front of him out in the right flat.

1750
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 1: Could have been the first one of the game.

1751
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 2: Cook dropped the first one of the game. So they

1752
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 2: weren't targeted as much, but they didn't exactly inspire any

1753
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 2: extra confidence to keep throwing to them right and Josh

1754
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 2: missed him on the one that he went on.

1755
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: We spoke about it early on in the Joe Brady era,

1756
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 1: that you know, he was putting Cook into routes. They

1757
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 1: weren't just checking down, you know, checking for somebody to

1758
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 1: blog turn around and if Josh needed him, they'd be there.

1759
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 1: They were actually running a route out of the backfield,

1760
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: and I couldn't tell. I don't I haven't been watching

1761
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 1: this close, and I gotta be honest with you, I

1762
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 1: would be surprised they're doing something completely different than that.

1763
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if Josh is thrown at

1764
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: someplace else, particularly when he when he's being impatient, when

1765
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Josh's off his game. Some of these things, Josh just

1766
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 1: decides to throw it to somebody else. So they may

1767
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: be doing a lot of what they did when they

1768
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,600
Speaker 1: switched over to Joe Brady, and Josh just chooses to

1769
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: go someplace else first for whatever reason. It could be

1770
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: all of that or none of it. I don't know,

1771
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 1: but but I agree with you. I like James Cook

1772
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: in this offense, and I think that the more they

1773
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: use them, the better. I don't have a problem if

1774
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,759
Speaker 1: if they want Latavious Murray in there instead of Leonard Fournette,

1775
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 1: I trust him. I'm not gonna get too much caught

1776
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: up in which guy's playing, which guy's not playing. But

1777
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: the guys that are in there need to catch it

1778
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:29,680
Speaker 1: and hang on to it. That's my criteria for the time.

1779
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 1: Because I don't have a problem with any one of

1780
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 1: those running backs from Cook to Murray, to Ty Johnson

1781
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 1: or to Leonard Fournette. Just don't fumble it and drop

1782
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: the ball.

1783
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 2: Some final thoughts on the tweets sheet when we return

1784
01:28:42,800 --> 01:29:02,840
Speaker 2: here on one Bill's Live, stay tuned all right back

1785
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:04,640
Speaker 2: here on one of Bill's lives, and final thoughts on

1786
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 2: the tweet cheek Keith says, more play action, less screen passes.

1787
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,879
Speaker 2: Get Cook involved in the past game again. More Shakir

1788
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 2: Kincaid and Ty Johnson, less Murray, let Josh take the third,

1789
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 2: fourth and Shorts less shotgun on those let's go You're

1790
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 2: all for it, huh for every one of those turn.

1791
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: Please just don't turn it over. Do what you do,

1792
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: catch it, run it. That's it.

1793
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,679
Speaker 2: We'll see you tomorrow at one tune in. It's gonna

1794
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 2: be special.
