00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: Bills or the NFL, the league, get large, fire away.

9
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: We're here to answer those. And Maddie, I totally forgot

10
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: to ask you yesterday when you were in here about

11
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: your wedding that you attended last weekend out of town,

12
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: like way out of town. It wasn't like down the

13
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: road or even in pretty out of town the hometown

14
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: of Chicago. It was even further away than that.

15
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to go to Kansas City for a

16
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: friend's wedding, one of my best friends from college, so

17
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: it was fun to see some college friends. I don't

18
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: get back to Missouri too often because it's not the

19
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 2: easiest place to fly into from Buffalo, so you're always

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: going through another airport, sometimes even two, So don't get

21
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: back there too much. But it's always great to see

22
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: people from the college days.

23
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for those that don't know, Maddie is the

24
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: University of Missouri alum. How much were people talking about

25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: that sixty one yard field goal at the gun for

26
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: Missouri to win last week? That's crazy.

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 2: There was some talk about it. People loved their Missoo

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: Tigers there and have so many people that were at

29
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: the wedding that were Missoo grads, So it was definitely

30
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: the talk of the town at the wedding. People love

31
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: watching that team play at a high level, and they've

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: been doing better over the last couple of seasons. I

33
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: know it's been tough, but I think a lot of

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: people have hope for that team this year.

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Kick was like an SEC record sixty one yards as

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: last play of the game. It is unbelievable. And in

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: addition to that, what was they going to say, oh

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: the kicker? So I was talking. I was talking on

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: the phone to my son because he's I was telling

40
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: him did you see that kick? And he said, oh, yeah,

41
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: that kid played against this last year and bombed like

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: five field goals against Georgia, and I guess he's a

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: he's a big kid. He's like Sebastian Janikowski size. He's

44
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: not a lightweight at all, so he's got a leg

45
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: on him. Sixty one yards though, I mean, I don't

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: care that it's September and it's still warm out. That

47
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: is a long way for a college kicker. And what

48
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: a way to win the game. That guy was a

49
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: hero in Columbia that weekend for sure.

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, people are like, oh, are they going to tear

51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: down the goalposts? And because when I was in school,

52
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: we upset at Oklahoma I think it was in twenty

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: ten or twenty eleven. We were ranked maybe top ten.

54
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: Oklahoma was maybe ranked one or two at the time,

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 2: and we upset them on college game day and tore

56
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: down the goal posts, and we dragged them a mile

57
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: into downtown to this bar called Harpo's and they brought

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: out a saw and they sought up the goal post,

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: so they handed it out to people in the crowd.

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: So people from my generation who went to school around

61
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: that time, anytime there's a big win, people are like, ah,

62
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: they teared down the goal posts.

63
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound all that different from nineteen eighty eight

64
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: here when they beat the Jets on the field goal

65
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: block game to win nine to six, and they took

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: the goal posts and carried them up and out over

67
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: the side of the stadium. I don't know. I still

68
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: don't know how the heck they did that, And so

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people, some younger fans, may not realize this.

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: So the Bills are hosting the Raiders for the AFC

71
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: title game in ninety and to prevent such an occurrence

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: from happening again, they literally put grease on the goalposts

73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: so people couldn't climb them, put their weight on it,

74
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: and you know, rip it down or hang on it.

75
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: They greased the goal post.

76
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: You're not taking them this time.

77
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Mister Wilson beg then was like, yeah, I don't want

78
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: to have to replace those again. If it all possible.

79
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: It costs a little bit of money they do.

80
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: But we are ready for Week three. Bill's commanders on

81
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: the road and I don't know, have you checked the

82
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: weather lately. I know it's supposed to pour there tomorrow,

83
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: but the last weather report, I was.

84
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: Going to say, what's what's the weather report? I was

85
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: listening to WGR earlier today when Sean went on and

86
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: gave his update about injuries, and Sean at the end

87
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: of his segment was asking Sal, hey, give me give

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: me a give me a hammer report. What's what's the

89
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: latest on the weather? And Sal was like, stick around

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: for a couple of minutes. He's going to be on

91
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 2: to do a weather report. But I couldn't stick around,

92
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 2: so I didn't get to hear his weather report.

93
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna put landover Maryland in and see what

94
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: I get because that is where the stadium is located.

95
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: So at this point in time, let me see.

96
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: We're searching it for you guys, so you can get

97
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: the most up to date weather reports via Browne the

00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: I got a weather report from my from a Washington

100
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: reporter I know down there, and.

101
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: They said that to drainage is pretty good, right the.

102
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Field is the field had a new drainage system put

103
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: in two years ago and it's excellent in comparison to

104
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: what it used to be.

105
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: News.

106
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: So it's not raining there now, so that's good. Mostly

107
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: cloudy seventy two today. The rain is supposed to start

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: this evening, go into the overnight, and then I know

109
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: Saturday it's supposed to rain all day long, so that

110
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: is a given. So rain overnight all day Saturday. Now,

111
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: let me see what it says.

112
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: When is it gonna stop?

113
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's the key. So here is the weather

114
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: forecast for Friday night showers this evening, steady rain overnight,

115
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: and then we go to Saturday, rain all day. Oh,

116
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Sunday has got rain. Now hold on Sunday, a steady

117
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: rain in the morning, showers continuing in the afternoon, high

118
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: of sixty seven. Ooh, chance of rain seventy percent. Yeah,

119
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be wet. We're gonna be wet on Sunday. Okay,

120
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: I thought that the rain was supposed to taper off.

121
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: It almost stop by kickoff. Not looking like that now, Okay.

122
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: The one good thing was they said the weather in

123
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Landover has been dry for the last several weeks, so

124
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: at least you have ground that can soak up some

125
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: of it. But if it's gonna rain for thirty six

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: straight hours, that could get sloppy.

127
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: You could get a little soppy out there.

128
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: You wonder how much that impacts the game plan.

129
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: Good thing the Bills are coming off of a game

130
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: where they ran the ball well.

131
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Well right, yes.

132
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: But it's time on task there. I know, I know

133
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: the commander's got one heck of a defensive line. But

134
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: to have that in your backpack there from the game.

135
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: Before, Yeah, they got to make sure they're bringing their

136
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: longer cleats for sure. Got to bring the studs with you.

137
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of Washington, reports, ESPN reporter for The Washington Commander's

138
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: John Kime is reporting that tight end Logan Thomas has

139
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: been declared out for Washington for Sunday's game. He was

140
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. He caught a touchdown passed and

141
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: got labeled in the end zone last week by a

142
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: Denver defender who's probably gonna get fined for that hit.

143
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: He's been in the concussion protocol all week. He was

144
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: working on the side yesterday and today at practice for Washington,

145
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: but apparently he's been ruled out for Sunday's game already. Meanwhile,

146
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: Washington's leading tackler, Cameron curl their safety and wide receiver

147
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel both did not practice due to illness today.

148
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: It's only illness. They're going to be listed as questionable.

149
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: So we'll get the full Washington injury report later today.

150
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: In terms of final status, Deron Payin was on that

151
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: injury report, their starting defensive tackle. He was limited in

152
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: practice yesterday with an ankle injury after not practicing on Wednesday.

153
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: He is a major player, so his availability is going

154
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: to be very noteworthy. We mentioned Logan Thomas not going

155
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: to play. Curtis Samuel did practice Wednesday and Thursday. He

156
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: came off of Sunday's game with a hip injury. Now

157
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: he's got an illness and is expected to be listed

158
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: as questionable. Everybody else looks to be in pretty good shape.

159
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: For Washington, Kwon Martin, their backup corner, had a concussion,

160
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: but it looks like he was a full participant yesterday.

161
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: We'll have to see what his final status is and

162
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: then backup center or no starting center Nick Gates knee injury,

163
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: but he was a full participant in practice. Running Back

164
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson hip injury, but a full participant in practice

165
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: all week. So aside from Logan Thomas, they're starting tight end.

166
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: They look to be in fairly decent shape. Good news

167
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Everybody is participating in some capacity today

168
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: who was on the injury report. So Dawson knocks back

169
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: and participating for the first time this week, coming off

170
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: a back injury that held him out on Wednesday, and

171
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and then Leonard Floyd back on the practice field.

172
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: That's good news, along with Micah Hyde in a limited

173
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: capacity yesterday. We'll see if they're still limited today or

174
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: if they do more today in the practice setting. And

175
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: James Cook back after baby number two. He had a girl,

176
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: so he's set. He's got the boy, he's got the girl.

177
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: He's a three year old son, I know. And then

178
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: just had a baby girl yesterday. Miss that's why he

179
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: missed practiced yesterday, So congrats to him and the Cook

180
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: clan which got one increased their population by one, so

181
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: good for them. By all indications, everything went well, so

182
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: that's good. So congrats to the Cook family on another edition.

183
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: That's great. Maybe he'll play some inspired football on Sunday

184
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: playing for the new baby girl. You didn't hear any names,

185
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: did you.

186
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: I didn't give it.

187
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: I didn't hear a name, So we'll wait on that.

188
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: Maybe he has such a great game that he's in

189
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: the post game and we can ask him on Sunday afternoon.

190
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the nuts and bolts of the

191
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: practice updates and practice updates brought to you by Leecom

192
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic medicine, and you know, I

193
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about those guys suiting up on Sunday,

194
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: But I guess. I guess we won't know until and

195
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: knowing that Dawson missed both practices Wednesday and Thursday, if

196
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: he's limited today, I'm just guessing because I'm not on

197
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: the medical staff, but I'm guessing probably questionable, right good,

198
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna need him, like he's gonna

199
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: be pretty important. I was talking about this with the

200
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: guys on the morning show, like, if if for some

201
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: reason Dawson can't go, how do they handle some of

202
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: that two tight end stuff that you know they're probably

203
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna want to run. I wouldn't be surprised if it's

204
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: David Edwards as a sixth offensive lineman slash blocking tight end,

205
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised

206
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: if they go that route, because we saw some of

207
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: that last week in the goal line situations. They had

208
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: David Edwards on the left at the left tackle position.

209
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: They flipped Eon to the other side and he was

210
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: lining up next to Spencer, which I thought was really interesting.

211
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: So we'll see if they choose to go that route.

212
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: Maybe they elevate rookie Joel Wilson from the practice squad

213
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: just to be the third tight end because they ran

214
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: some thirteen personnel last week too. We had qwentn Morris, Dawson, Knox,

215
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: and Dalton Kin Kate out there last week and it

216
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: worked pretty well for them. So it's going to be

217
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: very interesting to see. Hopefully Dawson is up and available

218
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: for Sunday's game. As we said earlier Friday means it's

219
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: the obl fan Friday Mailbag. Any question you got on

220
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: the Bills or the NFL or the Washington Commanders, lay him, honest,

221
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: We'll do our best to answer them for you. Eight

222
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: oh three five point fifty the number to get on

223
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: board one eight eight eight five point fifty two five

224
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: point fifty And uh, you know, I know a lot

225
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: of fans, at least the ones that I've come across

226
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: this week, Maddie. The thing they're asking about is who

227
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: is this Sam Howell guy? Who is this guy? And yeah,

228
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: he's a first year starter, so I understand why he's

229
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: not a household name, but he's pretty good quarterback. And

230
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Greg Cosell on the second hour of

231
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: the show about him. Senior pretty from NFL Films as

232
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: well as co host of ESPN's NFL Matchup Show. I

233
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: know he's done a lot of film work on Sam Howell,

234
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: so we'll be interested to get his take on the

235
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: first year starter quarterback who I think has opened some

236
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: eyes and surprised some people, not only with good decision

237
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: making but with his aggressiveness in throwing downfield. But when

238
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: you have those three receivers who I know you and

239
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: I will be talking about a little bit later on

240
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: in the show, it shouldn't be surprising that he's done

241
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: as well as he has. I think what killed him

242
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Maddie was if you remember in his college days at

243
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: North Carolina, he had a monster junior year and people

244
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: are like, oh boy, keep an eye out for Sam Howell.

245
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: He's gonna be one of the top five quarterbacks in

246
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: the draft. And then senior year he lost all his

247
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: receiving talent, like Diami Brown, who's now his teammate again

248
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: in Washington. He's one of the reserve receivers. He's probably

249
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: like their receiver four. He had already graduated, along with

250
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: a good tight end that he had down and they

251
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: lost Michael Carter, who got drafted by the Jets their

252
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: third down back, so he lost all this talent and

253
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams now that I think about it, So all

254
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: those guys left before Sam Howell's senior year at North

255
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: Carolina and his stats went down and he fell off

256
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: the radar. So I was just like, Wow, he went

257
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: from being like a potential first second round prospect to

258
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick just because he had a down

259
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: senior season. Looks like Washington's the team that's got the last.

260
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: Laugh, I know. I mean what he's done so far

261
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: for that team in the few starts that he's made,

262
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: he looks like a confident quarterback. And if you go

263
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: back and look at those college statistics, his last year

264
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: not as good, but he still had to put together

265
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: a productive season. He had eleven rushing touchdowns in twenty

266
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: twenty one, which I think is crazy. I think that

267
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: tells you a lot about the type of quarterback that

268
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: he can be when he's outside of the pocket and

269
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: maybe when he doesn't have some of those answers downfield.

270
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: But we've seen him connect on several downfield passes, especially

271
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: last game against the Broncos, putting some drives together at

272
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: the end of the game to get them back into

273
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: the game. They were down twenty one to three at

274
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: one point, and I think that downfield passing helped a lot,

275
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: along with Brian Robinson started to get going late in

276
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: that game against the Broncos last week. Especially if it's

277
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: going to be a wet game on Sunday, you would

278
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: expect to see a lot of Brian Robinson out of

279
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: the Commanders.

280
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you worry about, you know, a wet ball.

281
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes when a when a football gets wet, it gets heavy,

282
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: and so passes fall short of the mark because the

283
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: tip the nose of the ball starts to dive on

284
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and passes end up winding up short. So then

285
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: you're got more incompletions than completions, harder to move the sticks.

286
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: And then sometimes some offensive coordinator shats ry the hell

287
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: with it, let's just run the run the ball more

288
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: than we plan, And sometimes that happens. But yeah, I

289
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I'm very interested to see just

290
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: how how bad the weather is on Sunday, now that

291
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: we know there's a seventy percent chance of rain. But

292
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: let's dive into that Friday fan mail bag here and

293
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: question one comes from Nick, who says, do you expect

294
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: Washington to drop into a deep coverage or after seeing

295
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: Josh last week, will they play tight and try to

296
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: take away the underneath passes. Nick, I'm telling you right now,

297
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: every team under the sun is terrified of Josh beating

298
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: them over the top with his arm. So they're gonna

299
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: play top down defense and say, if you're gonna beat us,

300
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it with eleven and twelve play scoring drives,

301
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: not a two or three play scoring drive, because we

302
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: gave up a forty yard bomb for a touchdown. So

303
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: I would anticipate Washington to take that approach. It's clear

304
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: just by all of the quotes you see from Ron

305
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: Rivera and defensive coordinator Jack del Rio down there in

306
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: Washington that they are hyper aware of Josh's arm strength

307
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: and are going to take a similar approach to what

308
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: we saw the Jets do in week one and what

309
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: we saw Las Vegas doing week two. They're going to

310
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: try to keep everything in front of them and say, look,

311
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: you want to take the short stuff, that's fine. We're

312
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: gonna hope you can't be efficient enough to get eleven

313
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: or twelve good plays in a row, and I thought

314
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: the Bills were great at not committing too many pre

315
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: snab penalties, unforced errors and things like that. Here's the

316
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: one caveat though, Maddie. This defensive line for Washington is

317
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: so good that sometimes they force opposing offensive lines to

318
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: hold them, you know, grab them, commit holding penalties, illegal

319
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: hands in the face, whatever you want to call it.

320
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: Even false starts for guys like Chase Young and Montes

321
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: Sweat who get off the ball in a hurry. So

322
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: got to stay out of unforced penalties, and then they

323
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: got to be efficient on offense. But Washington is betting

324
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: that you can't do that.

325
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean last week, Josh was incredible when it

326
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: came to throws under ten yards. He averaged four point

327
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: nine air yards per attempt on thirty seven passes, and

328
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: he completed twenty six of twenty eight passes under ten yards.

329
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: So it's been efficient for the Bills so far. I

330
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: would look to see it be efficient again in week three,

331
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: if they're going to keep everything, if they're going to

332
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: try and take away that deep ball from Josh and

333
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 2: make the Bills put together those eleven twelve play drives

334
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: where they really have to grind it out. I mean,

335
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: right now, Josh has an eighty eight percent completion percentage

336
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: on passes that are under ten yards, which is the

337
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: best in the NFL. So he's been so far wheeling

338
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: and dealing from that standpoint, and if they's been, if

339
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: they've been able to do it in the first two weeks,

340
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: you would expect them to have some success too with

341
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: attempts that are under ten yards. And then you think

342
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: about the game plan that this team might have to

343
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: play if it is rainy conditions, and you talk about

344
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: the ball kind of diving dipping a little bit when

345
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: you're trying to throw maybe deeper passes that maybe the

346
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 2: game plan anyways is going to be stick to your

347
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: dink and dunk plays your guys that are underneath and

348
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: right in front of you, rather than trying to air

349
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: it out.

350
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: Well. Plus, I think you want to help your offensive

351
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: line too, right Like, you've got a front four here

352
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: in Washington that can get to the quarterback ten sacks,

353
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: eighteen quarterback pressures in two weeks. That's highly productive. So

354
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: I think it would behove Buffalo's offensive staff to again

355
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: go with a lot of quick throws, get the ball

356
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: out of Josh's hand, quickly defined reads that are easy

357
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: for Josh to diagnose. To use some motion to help

358
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: him out and help him declare pre snap whether it's

359
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: man or zone coming at him. And yeah, use the

360
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: short passes to stay to get an offensive rhythm. I

361
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: mean that worked very well for Josh last week. What

362
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: was he twelve for twelve to start the game, Because

363
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: not only were they high percentage throws, they were getting

364
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: open quickly. The rush was effectively neutralized. So help your

365
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: offensive line get the ball out of Josh's hand fast.

366
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a long way of answering nixt question.

367
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't expect them to cheat up at all defensively

368
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: and try to take away those short routes. I think

369
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: they want to keep everything in front of them early

370
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: and make the Bills prove to them they can be

371
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: efficient and string together eleven and twelve passes and get points.

372
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: Bill has the next question, what's the outlook for Damar

373
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: Hamlin getting back on the field in a game? You

374
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: want to take that one many?

375
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think Tomar will get his opportunity

376
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: sooner than later. It's a numbers game when you look

377
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: at the game day roster, the guys who are up

378
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: and the guys who are down. And I think you

379
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: would probably get the same answer out of Sean McDermott.

380
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: It would depend on what type of team you're playing against.

381
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: Is there going to be a team where Damar's skill

382
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: set is going to offer something more than somebody else would,

383
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: so they would elevate him some games. You know, we've

384
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: seen the three running backs elevated. Maybe there's going to

385
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 2: be a game where there aren't three running backs elevated,

386
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 2: so then Damar can be elevated for a game. I

387
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: think it's kind of you play the game of who

388
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: do you need for each week, and then that leaves

389
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: the guys on the roster who aren't elevated for game day.

390
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what Damar is work, what he's up against

391
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: is essentially another safety in cam Lewis, who offers more

392
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: versatility than him because he can play nickel, he can

393
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: play safety, he can even play out on the boundary

394
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: if you need him at corner. And then cam Lewis

395
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: is also a first team gunner on cover teams. He

396
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: lines up opposite Saran Neil. He's essentially Taiwan Jones this

397
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: year and Damar plays gunner too, but he's on the

398
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: second team. So because he's on second team gunner and

399
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: Cam offers more versatility on defense playing upwards of three

400
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: different positions, Hamlin's ends up being the odd man out

401
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: when they have to dress forty seven forty eight guys

402
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: depending on how many offensive linemen they're dressing. So that's

403
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: kind of where it sits. I think he doesn't get

404
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: activated on a SUN day until there's an injury in

405
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: the dB group. Quite frankly, I think that's probably what

406
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to wait on, unfortunately for him. Chris

407
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: in the mailbag asks what will the Bills need to

408
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: do to tame the Washington defensive front. Yeah, we kind

409
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: of talked to Dan Orlovski about this a little bit,

410
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: and we'll ask Greg co sail in the second hour two.

411
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: But I think the formula here is to try to

412
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: double from the inside out. And you can't double everybody.

413
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: We know that, but I think there are gonna be

414
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: times where they're gonna have to go max protection a

415
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: little bit and have seven into protect because the front

416
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: is that good. I think you're gonna have to use

417
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: double teams on the interior to keep Jonathan Allen and

418
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: Doron Payne off of Josh and not squeeze the pocket

419
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: down from the middle because that prefends Josh from stepping

420
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: into throws. So and when I say double team, I

421
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: don't mean for the entire play off the snap. Have

422
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: two guys getting their shoulder pads on Deron Pain, have

423
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: two guys getting their shoulder pads on Jonathan Allen, and

424
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: then step to the second level. One guy steps to

425
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: the second level. You got to combo block them. I think,

426
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: even if it's just for a second and a half,

427
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: and that should be enough time. If you're calling those

428
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: short routes to get the ball out effectively, you gotta

429
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: do that. You got to do that against those guys.

430
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: And then with the guys on the edges, you have

431
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: to chip. You have to use a tight end for

432
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: help or a back for help, kind of like they

433
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: did last week against Max Crosby.

434
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, I think it comes to max.

435
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 2: Protection is what you're gonna need to go against a

436
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: defensive line that the Washington Commanders have. I mean, they

437
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: had seven sacks last week against the Broncos thirteen quarterback hits,

438
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: which is a huge number. You have four defensive linemen

439
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: in that game who had at least five pressures on

440
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: the quarterback. So you're gonna need a good game plan

441
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: going against them because you know they're going to be

442
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: able to test the line and Josh at some point

443
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: during this game. And so I think your answer is,

444
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: you put another tight tight end in there, you put

445
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 2: another offensive lineman in there, you have some help from

446
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 2: your running backs to be able to give Josh the

447
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: type of protection that he needs to get the ball

448
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: out quick. And I would expect, just like last week,

449
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: with the pressure that Josh will probably face in the pocket,

450
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: that you are going to see a lot of quick throws.

451
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just makes too much sense, you know what

452
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, we're not play calling gurus, but

453
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: looking at that front, it just it just kind of

454
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: makes logical sense.

455
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: And it's good that they had some practice last week

456
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: doing this, absolutely.

457
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: And when you think about it, they did a lot

458
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: of that in Week one two. I mean, let's not forget. Yeah,

459
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: Josh had four turnovers, including three interceptions, But there was

460
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: a point in the game there because I remember looking

461
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: down at the live stats during the game, there was

462
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: a point where he was like seventeen of twenty one passing,

463
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of short passages again because

464
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: that's what the Jets were giving him, and he was efficient.

465
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: His completion percentage was high coming out.

466
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: Of that day. It was just unfortunately he turned the

467
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: ball over. Three of his incompletions were interceptions, throwing it

468
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: to the wrong team. But yeah, he was highly That's

469
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: why he's leading the league in completion percentage right now

470
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: at seventy seven percent. He was highly efficient in Week

471
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: one throwing a lot of that short stuff. He was

472
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: just a little frenetic with some of his decision making.

473
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see, but I would anticipate the

474
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: same formula going forward. I think it is a proven

475
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: winning model provided you're making good decisions and the passes

476
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: are accurate, and your skill players are executing for you.

477
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: The skill players executed in exemplary fashion last week. They

478
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: were open, yeah, and they ran after catch too, So

479
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: even though you had a five yard completion, you get

480
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: an extra five, six, seven, eight yards after that. Now

481
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: you're not only in favorable down and distance, you got

482
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: a fresh set of down yeah, because you're past the sticks.

483
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: So if Josh, I think if Josh continues to trust

484
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: his skill players. This offense should be able to move

485
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, granted, not in giant chunks,

486
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: but in effective stick moving chunks. And then if you

487
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: keep doing that, you force the defense to make a

488
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: decision like your approach here. So are you either going

489
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: to a bring a safety down in the box to

490
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: help them stop the run more effectively, or are you

491
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: going to have dB squad on routes more? And then

492
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: that can lead to more opportunities down the field, longer passes,

493
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: bigger plays, but you have to prove you can be efficient,

494
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, before you do that.

495
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: So and then time and possession ends up being in

496
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: the bills favor. I mean last week they held onto

497
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: the ball for forty minutes compared to the Raiders who

498
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: held on the ball for just nineteen minutes, almost twenty

499
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 2: and so when things like that happen, odds are in

500
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: your favor because you've got the ball longer.

501
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are are going to step aside here, but

502
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: the fan mail bag is open eight oh three oh

503
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: five point fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty.

00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna get on board, So feel free to

Speaker 1: The question comes from Jeremy Gullo. I hope I'm pronouncing

532
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: that right. Maybe it's Gulo And the question is growing

533
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: up in downstate New York and being with the Bills

534
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: for the better part of two decades now, was it

535
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: hard transitioning into the life of a Bills reporter and

536
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: fan during a really rough time for the franchise. Well,

537
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: I can promise you the seventeen years drought was not

538
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: fun watching it wire to wire. But I can tell

539
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: you that even though I did grow up down state,

540
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: I was a baseball fan first and probably a basketball

541
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: fan second. And then with as successful as the Islanders

542
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: were when I was a kid, I was probably a

543
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: hockey fan third. So football was like in fourth place,

544
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: So I would watch I hated the Giants. I would

545
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: watch the Jets, but it was just like, oh, the

546
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: Jets are onnd let me watch. I was a died

547
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: in the wool Yankees fan, hardcore Knicks fan, and I

548
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: was an Islanders fan growing up. So then coming up

549
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: here I was. I went to college up here at Geneseo,

550
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: and I was in college all four years the Bills

551
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: were in the Super Bowl, So I was very quickly

552
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: indoctrinated as to how important the Bills were to fans

553
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: in Western New York. And you know, most of the

554
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: kids at Geneseo or Rochester or Buffalo area kid kids,

555
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: so I was quickly brought up to speed on just

556
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: how important Bill's football was around here. And then after

557
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: I got out of school and graduated, I was immediately

558
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: working here in Buffalo, and you know, was covering sports

559
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: by the mid to late nineties. Then I married a

560
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo girl. Both of my kids are born here, and

561
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: I've lived here now more of my life in Buffalo

562
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: than I have on Long Island. So I kind of

563
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: I consider myself a Buffalonian Number one. Number two. Yes,

564
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: it was tough covering a team that didn't have a

565
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: lot of success. I think what makes it easy, though,

566
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: is the how loyal the fan base is, Like whether

567
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: this team was three and thirteen like they were in

568
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, or whether they were seven and

569
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: nine like they seemingly were every year under Dick Juron,

570
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: the fans still cared that they would. Like I come

571
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: across fans, they're asking me questions whether the team was lousy, mediocre,

572
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 1: or actually had a chance. So that that's what I

573
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: think made it easier through all of those lean years.

574
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: And sometimes when when you're not good or your team

575
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: is not competitive, all you can do is kind of

576
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: laugh about it and kind of make light of it.

577
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: And that's what Bill's fans do to get through it

578
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: when it's not their year or they clearly don't have

579
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: a team that can compete. And now when they are

580
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: this good and they are a true contender, it makes

581
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: it all the more enjoyable. So that's probably how I

582
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: would describe it. I mean, believe me, there were a

583
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: lot of sundays I was just like, oh God. And

584
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: back then I was doing a lot more writing. It's like,

585
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: how do I write about this? We're trying to, you know,

586
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 1: make it as palatable as possible. But yeah, it was.

587
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: It was fine. I think, and I think it's because

588
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: Bill fans on the whole are just so resolutely positive,

589
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: like they always have hope at the beginning of every season.

590
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: And I think what made it tolerable was we, like

591
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: you always felt like we were all in it together,

592
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Does that make sense? Like it

593
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: was it was like a fan. Steve says it all

594
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: the time, like if you're if you're affiliated with this

595
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: team and the fans recognize it, you're part of a family,

596
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: like you really are here, whether you're working for the team,

597
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: covering the team, or rooting for the team, Like it's

598
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: all one big family here in Western New York. And

599
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes it special. But I was

600
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: indoctrinated very quickly by my wife's family. It's just like, look,

601
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: you're on board or forget it family. Yeah right, it

602
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: was a little bit of that. It was a little

603
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: bit of.

604
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: A fan or you're not going to be a part

605
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 2: of the family.

606
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to relay one one story. So I am,

607
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: I am my future wife. I am you know, we're

608
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: not engaged, we're not married, none of that. I am

609
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: I am at the house. This is like shortly after

610
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl years ended, and I am being put

611
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: through the paces of watching some VHS tapes of her

612
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: family dancing in their driveway in the middle of a

613
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: snowstorm after they won one of the AFC title games

614
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl again. It wasn't the

615
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: first one, it was either the second or the third one.

616
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: And they're all out there waving flags, dancing in the driveway.

617
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: It's snowing. There's like and I'm watching this going, I'm like,

618
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: these people are around the bend, like what they're they're uh,

619
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: they're around the corner and down the hallway here like

620
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: this is what is this? But what what I quickly

621
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: came to realize was that's everybody here because they're that

622
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: nuts about the bills, and it's that's great, it's amazing. Well,

623
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, good, bad, or indifferent. It's go bills like

624
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: every day in the fall, winter and even all year round.

625
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: Which is why I'm fortunate enough to be able to

626
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: do a show like this three hundred and sixty five

627
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: days a year, because there are people Maddy out of

628
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: state or out of town who aren't bills fans. My

629
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: mom will even say it, she goes, how do you

630
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: talk about Bill's Football for three hundred and sixty five

631
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: days a year, I said, because people care enough, because

632
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: there are people interested in talking Bill's football.

633
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 2: When I tell my NFL counterparts who work for other

634
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: teams that we do a show. You guys do a

635
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 2: show all year, they're.

636
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: Like, season, what? How?

637
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: How is that possible?

638
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: That's right?

639
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: So it used to be three hours, yes, And I.

640
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: Will say that down in New York, which I still

641
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: believe is always going to be a baseball town. First,

642
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: they talk baseball all year round. Now, look, during football season,

643
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: they'll talk football. They're not nuts down there, but it's

644
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: it's hots League when the season's over, like when the

645
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: season ends in October or November, if one of their

646
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: teams makes the playoffs, they're talking about free agency, Hot

647
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: Stove League. Like they talk baseball three hundred and sixty

648
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: five days a year down there, and I did as

649
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: a kid. Here it's football three hundred and sixty five

650
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: days a year, and with good reasons. So you know,

651
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: every city kind of has their number one sport. And

652
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's unquestionably football here. And I know Maddy's

653
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: happy about it, and so am I.

654
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: So because hopefully the Sabers can have a good season

655
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: this well, that's try get you get a pairing of both,

656
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 2: because that's when the town.

657
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: Is the best, right And I'm not trying to dismiss

658
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: the Sabers out of hand. I mean they're very popular

659
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: here too, but we know, we know the the hold

660
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: that the Bills have on this community, and we're happy

661
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: about it. So yeah, that's probably a long winded way

662
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: of answering your question, Jeremy, But congratulations, Uh, you are

00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,720

670
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 1: they're opening packs of cards or like all those guys

671
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 1: that are into memorabilia, guys and girls that are into

672
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: sports memorabilia, and they do these.

673
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 2: Reveals baseball cards.

674
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you were a baseball card collector, right?

675
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: Baseball card collector? I don't I think so. My dad

676
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: was a huge collector and I think he recently ended

677
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 2: up going through the process to sell out of his cards.

678
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: Oh really okay, And I think found out that some

679
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: of them aren't worth what he thought they were going

680
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: to be worth. And I maybe that number has gone

681
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,479
Speaker 2: down over time. I know during COVID it was.

682
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: Like because people didn't have anything else better to do.

683
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: But I think it's back down because he had found

684
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of boxes and was telling us and I

685
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 2: have a huge binder baseball cards somewhere in my house

686
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: that I grew up and maybe maybe the binder was

687
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 2: a part of the cards that he also wanted to sell.

688
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: But yeah, me, my brother collected baseball card give I

689
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: may have to give.

690
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: Him a call because I'm pretty confident I have a

691
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Sandberg Rookie card and some of my better cards.

692
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: I have a nineteen fifty five and a nineteen fifty

693
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: six earninge Banks, so that's pretty good. May have to

694
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: get your dad on the horn, see if he's interested

695
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: in making a purchase. He's looking to move his stuff.

696
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: I might be convincing him to buy something off of me,

697
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: because yeah, and they're in really good condition. I got

698
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: him in hard plastic.

699
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: They're now that's that's the thing. So he went through

700
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 2: the process and I think he met with a guy

701
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 2: at a store, and his were not in the exact

702
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 2: condition that you needed them. I think some of his

703
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 2: cards would have been worth like thousands more if they

704
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: were in the plack casing and all of that.

705
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: My son, my son does he's a collector as well,

706
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: and he kind of explained to me, like this the

707
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: whole grading system. Like he said, some of his stuff

708
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: in to one of the grading services, I think it

709
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: was PFA to get graded, and like they came back

710
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: and he's like he was expecting to get like a

711
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: nine or a ten on a grating, and it came

712
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: back like an eight because the card was printed on,

713
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: like the image was printed onto the card and it

714
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: was like a centimeter off center, so it was like

715
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: an eight and a half instead of a ten.

716
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: Ye, It's pretty nice.

717
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: It's just like wow. So yeah, they are pretty strict

718
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: with that for sure. We have to move along now

719
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: and get to soundbits as the Bill's prepared to take

720
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: on the Commanders, and that is presented by Tim Horton's

721
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: Let's Hear from the Players on their upcoming matchup with

722
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: the Washington commanders going.

723
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 4: He gets a good front, making sure we're getting the

724
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 4: ball out and getting our guys in space and forcing

725
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 4: those interior d linemen to move around the field, tire

726
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 4: them out just a little bit, and just making sure

727
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 4: we're spreading the ball around fairly evenly and just being

728
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: two dimensional.

729
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of former first round picks

730
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 3: along that front, and they have seven sacks last week

731
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: and I think fourteen quarterback hits or so.

732
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: It's impressive.

733
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,959
Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna have to do a good job

734
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 3: of trying to make sure that we manage that as

735
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: much as we can.

736
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 5: Being down twenty one to three, I believe it was

737
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 5: a halftime against Denver and being able to come back

738
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 5: and win the game. A bunch of guys that play

739
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 5: it looked like they played well together, you know, a

740
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 5: resilient group of guys, and like I said, we're gonna

741
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 5: have to play extremely wall to win.

742
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 6: We're excited about the opportunity. A good quarterback.

743
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 7: I know he's young, but he gets out there and

744
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 7: he sits in the pocket and he lets it go.

745
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 6: So it's a good quarterback. We respect him.

746
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 8: He slings the ball down the field.

747
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 6: He's a tough dude.

748
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 7: He stands in the pocket, you know, he scrambles around,

749
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 7: makes plays for a team.

750
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 9: So we got a lot of respect for him, and

751
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 9: you know we're gonna come out do our best to

752
00:39:59,360 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 9: limit that.

753
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 5: You know, he's gonna throw the football and he trusts

754
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 5: his playmakers to be able to go and make plays.

755
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 5: He trusts his guys down the field with the speed

756
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 5: that they have, so uh, you know, it's it's gonna

757
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 5: be a fun game.

758
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 6: First and foremost.

759
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 8: We always got to beat the dudes in front of us,

760
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 8: So I know it's the d line. Before we could

761
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 8: even talk about in the quarterback, we got to focus

762
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 8: on winning on one on ones.

763
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 7: I mean, he's probably gonna have to to work more mentally,

764
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 7: just based off the fact that he's a rook He's

765
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 7: a rookie, you know what I'm saying, So just being

766
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 7: in his first year out there, I mean, we're gonna

767
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 7: do what we do and.

768
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 6: Uh and play hard.

769
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: When I say a Washington defensive line, what's the first

770
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: thing comes abund you? Fast rush?

771
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 6: Fast rush is good for them.

772
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 8: Chase Young's back, Monteses sweat or two d tackles are big,

773
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 8: strong guys in the middle of know what they're doing.

774
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 10: So it's it's be a good challenge rewards too.

775
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: For us.

776
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 9: It'll be just a tremendous battle as it is every week.

777
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 9: But I mean, not only do these guys compete, but

778
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 9: they have the skill set of uh you know some there.

779
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 9: They're elite football players, and we're gonna have to bring

780
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 9: our a game to compete in a hasile environment.

781
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 11: Comes Sunday each week, we're going against the D line

782
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 11: as well. We have to be aware of that and

783
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 11: know that we don't have all this time at the

784
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 11: line of scrimmage out we have to get open making

785
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 11: it easier for seventeen. So we got to know that

786
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 11: we're not only going against the guy in front of us,

787
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 11: but we're going against the guys.

788
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 10: On the line of scrimmage as good as they are

789
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 10: in the back end. As far as the dv's even

790
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 10: across the league, when you face a team with a

791
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 10: D line like Washington, the Commanders, when you're running your route,

792
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 10: isn't with the DV is with the D line. I'm saying,

793
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 10: as quick as they get back there, you need to

794
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 10: be running your route with some efficiency. You need to

795
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 10: be clean, you need to be chrispy because they gonna

796
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 10: get back there. It's going to be some pressure apply. Luckily,

797
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 10: I got a quarterback that can move around a little bit,

798
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 10: maybe shake some guys off. But that race is always

799
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 10: between you and the d line, So get off the ball.

800
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 10: So you need to get off the ball. You need

801
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 10: to be running with speed and tempo. So yeah, it's.

802
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 4: One of the best groups, if not the best group

803
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 4: in the league. You know, up front, they're all big, fast, powerful, explosive.

804
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: They all all can get after the quarterback.

805
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 8: They'll occasionally run games when they want to beat you

806
00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 8: one on one. Yeah, yeah, you still get everyone expect Yeah,

807
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 8: like it's that I felt like you're a great player.

808
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: They're a great player.

809
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 8: Eventually you're gonna lose repidence and then you just got

810
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 8: throwing and move on to the next one.

811
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 4: The team that best executes on Sunday is gonna win

812
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 4: the game, and you.

813
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 10: Just gotta focus on one game at a time. It's

814
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 10: early in the season. We're gonna we're gonna try to

Speaker 1: chicken salad featuring Snapdragon apples. They're served on a slice,

827
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: So you have like chicken salad for our radio listeners

828
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: sitting on an apple slice and you just pop that thing.

829
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: It's like it's like a take off of a cracker

830
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: kind of thing.

831
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 2: Something to say. If you're not a bread person like myself, Yeah,

832
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 2: apples are better.

833
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I gotta tell you so, this is an

834
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: interesting combo and I'm going to be housing this in

835
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: a very short period of time. But as we know,

836
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: and as we've told you before, Snapdragon apples, if you're

837
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: not familiar with them, epic sweet, snappy, flavor, monster crunch,

838
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: incredible juiciness and chicken salad with snap dragon apples. Great

839
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: way to prep lunch for the week. So yeah, like Maddie,

840
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: who's not a bread person, she stays away from the

841
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: carbs mostly, I try to she this is an alternative

842
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: you like. Some people have done cucumber slices in the past.

843
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: This is an easy one to get your kids to

844
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: eat because the apples are so sweet. So now you're

845
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: eating healthy stuff on top of the apple slice, which

846
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: is already healthy to begin with. If your kid doesn't

847
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: like chicken salad, just get the snapdragon apples and slice

848
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: them up. They'll eat them in a second, I promise you.

849
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: And it's the perfect time of year to go grab

850
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 2: some snapdragon apples because this is the time where apple

851
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 2: season booming.

852
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: They're actually snapdragon apples are being picked now all across

853
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: New York State, so they will be available soon at

854
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: your local Wegmans. I don't know how they got their

855
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: hands on these for us, but they are going to

856
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: be in plentiful, plentiful supply very soon. Did you do

857
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 1: you go apple picking? Usually?

858
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 2: I usually go every year.

859
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: I usually try to get out with the missus. Once

860
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: we used to do it with the kids a lot

861
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: and I just grab all the ones I have. We're

862
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to I'm gonna have to call around to

863
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: see which local apple works. Snap Dragon Apple, Yeah, have

864
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: Snapdragon Yeah, because you know you hear about all the

865
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: other kinds of apples that have been around Snapdragons like

866
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: new on the scene. So I got to find out

867
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: who's got those, because I'm not going to an apple

868
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: orchard unless they have these now, because it's one of

869
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: my top apples now after being introduced to them through

870
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: the good people at Snapdragon. So chicken salad, Are you

871
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: a chicken salad person?

872
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: Because I love chicken salad.

873
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: I think I'm just about every salad, egg salad, tuona salad,

874
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: chicken salad. But I do see some red onion in

875
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: this chicken salad, and I am a huge red onion fan.

876
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: I will put red onion in just about everything. So

877
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: Maddie and I will be diving into these in short order.

878
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,040

899
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: week is brought to you by Scott Lonyard, an official

900
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: commercial site work partner of The Buffalo Bills. Greg, We've

901
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: got an interesting first year quarterback here that Bill's fans

902
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: are going to see in Sam Howell. And I think

903
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: it was a guy that was a victim of having

904
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: a down senior year at North Carolina after a fantastic

905
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: stick junior year, and because he's only six to two,

906
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: he ends up being a fifth round pick. But here

907
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: he is and he's playing well.

908
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I actually think he's six feet Brownie. So but

909
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 6: you're right.

910
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 12: He was viewed as a descending player based on his

911
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 12: final year at North Carolina, certainly coming off the year prior,

912
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 12: and given his height, there was a sense that, okay,

913
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 12: descending player six feet, what are the percentage chances based

914
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 12: on sort of the historical record that he turns into

915
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 12: a good quarterback. Now, he started three games, so we're

916
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 12: not gonna sit here and say he's on his way

917
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 12: to being great. But I have to tell you, I

918
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 12: watched the game of course last year, the final game

919
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 12: of the season, and the two games this year, and

920
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 12: he's showing a lot of traits that you really like

921
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 12: for a quarterback number one. And I'm sure it's a

922
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,479
Speaker 12: function that he's always been shorter. Is he's an over

923
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 12: the top thrower, and you don't see many over the

924
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 12: top throwers in the game anymore. Drew Brees was an

925
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 12: over the top thrower. Another six foot quarterback. He's really

926
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 12: tough in the pocket. He does not bail. He stands

927
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 12: in muddied, noisy pockets with people around him and delivers

928
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 12: the football. And he is willing to turn it loose

929
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 12: and make difficult throws, which I always believe is an

930
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 12: important trade in this league. And he has more than

931
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,479
Speaker 12: enough movement to be a quarterback that can make those

932
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 12: second reaction plays. So he's shown a lot through these

933
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 12: first two games. Obviously a big road win when they

934
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 12: were down twenty one to three to Denver in Denver,

935
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 12: you don't see that very often, coming back against the

936
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 12: Broncos like that on the road.

937
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of being down against the Broncos, what is

938
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 2: it about Sam Howell, this Eric b Enemy offense and

939
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: the offensive weapons that the Commanders have that they've been

940
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 2: able to come back twice now in the fourth quarter

941
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 2: to start the season.

942
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, you know, I think how you know, probably

943
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 12: a lot of that is just mentality, but also you

944
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 12: have to execute, Maddie. I mean, there's no there's no

945
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 12: an answer for that, you know, Obviously, against Denver this

946
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 12: past week. They were down big and it would require

947
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 12: him to make throws. And I think they actually have

948
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 12: a really good system as well in terms of what

949
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 12: they do with their route concepts. There's a lot of

950
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 12: ways that they overload zones. You know, they do a

951
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 12: really good job with their receiver splits because all these things.

952
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 12: Receiver splits really dictate a lot of how coverage gets played.

953
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 12: So you know, you could say, for its sace, oh

954
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 12: it's covered three, but you can play cover three multiple ways,

955
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 12: and receiver splits dictate how you play it. So you know,

956
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 12: I think they're really really good with those kinds of things.

957
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 12: And he's just made some really good throws. Look, I'm

958
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 12: sure it's been a highlight all week. And I actually

959
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 12: broke down the play in the Matchup show this week.

960
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 12: But his thirty yard touchdown to McLaurin, it was a

961
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 12: really well designed concept, but it was a big, big

962
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 12: time throw and that was not an easy throw.

963
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 1: And then the other part of the offensive equation greg

964
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: is obviously the addition of Eric b Enemy as the

965
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Yeah, I would say one of the more

966
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: interesting things to come out of the first couple of weeks.

967
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: We've noticed that the Bills have been susceptible to screenplays

968
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: on defense through the first two weeks, and we see

969
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: the enemy using screens sometimes on down in distances that

970
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: don't indicate a screen could be coming. I mean, he

971
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: did some on second and five. There were some interesting

972
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: choices by him to use the screen game on a

973
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 1: typical screen game down in distance. What do you make of.

974
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 12: That, Well, it's funny you say that, because obviously Eric

975
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 12: Penemy comes from Andy Reid. Andy Reid has always been

976
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 12: a phenomenal screen coach. You know, they had a great

977
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 12: screen on second and fourteen this past week to start

978
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 12: the fourth quarter, and it was beautifully beautifully designed the

979
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 12: way they did it, and they pretty much got Gibson

980
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 12: That's who they threw the screen to. There was really

981
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 12: no one out there other than the man defender who

982
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 12: was covering Gibson, and it was an easy block for

983
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 12: the offensive line. And you know, so they've done a

984
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 12: really nice job with how they get to screens, because ultimately,

985
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 12: what you want is you don't want a number of

986
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 12: defenders out there to be in front of the screen.

987
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 12: You know, you want you want in an ideal world

988
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 12: you'd like one defender to at most, but they do

989
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 12: a really good job with that. You're right, Brownie, And

990
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 12: that one really stood out to me because it was

991
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 12: second and fourteen and they threw the screen to Gibson

992
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 12: and he had so much room to run it turned

993
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 12: into a thirty six yard reception.

994
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: Flipping to the Commander's defense, we know their defensive line

995
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 2: is one of the toughest in the NFL, especially to

996
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 2: start the season, with the amount of pressure they can

997
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 2: put on the quarterback using just four guys. They have

998
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 2: a really talented four guys up front. All four of

999
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 2: them put more than or register more than five pressures

1000
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 2: in that game last week against the Broncos. So when

1001
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 2: you're dialing up a game plan to go against a

1002
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 2: defensive line that the Commanders have, what's the recipe for

1003
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 2: success to be able to find some success against a

1004
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 2: really tough defensive line.

1005
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 12: Well, Maddie, I think that the Bills will try to

1006
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 12: do some of the things they did last week. I mean,

1007
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 12: they probably did it last week to get Josh Allen

1008
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 12: back on track. But you want to get quick game throws,

1009
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 12: you want to minimize the pass rush because if you

1010
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 12: get the ball out quick, the pass runch becomes a

1011
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 12: non factor now. Obviously when it's third and long then

1012
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 12: it's a different scenario. It'll be interesting to see. The

1013
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 12: Commanders are a big They play a lot of what

1014
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 12: we call big nickel with three safeties, and because the

1015
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 12: Bills are now a much bigger twelve personnel team. Although

1016
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 12: they played a little less of it this week than

1017
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 12: they did week one, but they're clearly going to continue

1018
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 12: to play it. They're probably going to get a lot

1019
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 12: of big nickel with three safeties on the field. Curl

1020
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 12: can match up to tight ends. You know, We'll see

1021
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 12: how they feel about matching up to Kincaid and Knox.

1022
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 12: They're both good receiving tight ends. But I think you know,

1023
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 12: as we saw and you guys are well aware of this.

1024
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 12: As we saw last week, there was really a dedicated

1025
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 12: plan to develop a timing, rhythm passing game which doesn't

1026
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 12: require much reading by the quarterback and get the ball

1027
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 12: out so that Josh could get into a rhythm and

1028
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 12: not feel and the play calls by nature, we're not

1029
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 12: really asking him to drop back and if you didn't

1030
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 12: see it, to move around. So I think they'll probably

1031
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 12: want to continue to do that.

1032
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: Flipping it back over to Washington's offense, Greg, we know

1033
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: that they have you know, three speed type weapons in Samuel,

1034
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: Dodson and McLaurin, and all three of them can threaten

1035
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: all three levels of the defense in passing concepts. How

1036
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: has the enemy deployed them? Has he purposely mixed it

1037
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: up each of the first couple of weeks sometimes series

1038
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 1: to series, or have those three players settled into roles

1039
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: that can be defined per se within the concept of

1040
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:23,959
Speaker 1: the passing game.

1041
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 12: I mean, I think there's always a tendency here and

1042
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 12: there Brownie, but I think they've moved them around, which

1043
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 12: is you know, another tactic that the enemy brought with

1044
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 12: him from Andy Reid. You know, McLaurin will lined up

1045
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 12: as the boundary X, but they move their receivers around.

1046
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 12: You can't just hone in and say this is where

1047
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 12: he's going to be. They do a lot of that.

1048
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 12: They play at a two tight ends as well. They're

1049
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 12: very diverse with their formations and their receiver distributional location.

1050
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 6: So no, it's and.

1051
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 12: It's always I think early in the season, even though

1052
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 12: the enemy may have a track record and he certainly

1053
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 12: does with the Chiefs now with a new team with

1054
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 12: different personnel. So as you know Brownie and Mattie, you

1055
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 12: probably know this as well. During the season, you're kind

1056
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 12: of working through the early part of the games to

1057
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 12: see what you're going to get from teams because it's

1058
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 12: still early in the season. So you know, while coaches

1059
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 12: often coach against coaches, sometimes when they're with a new team,

1060
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 12: you have to wait and see how they feel about

1061
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 12: their personnel and how they're going to deploy them.

1062
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and in addition to those three wide receivers, they've

1063
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 2: also been able to use Brian Robinson as a good

1064
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,919
Speaker 2: compliment to those wide receivers. Especially in the second half

1065
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 2: of that game against the Broncos, he really started to

1066
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 2: show up. How is b Enemy using the running back

1067
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,240
Speaker 2: in Brian Robinson and why has it worked through two weeks,

1068
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 2: especially in this last week registering some big numbers.

1069
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 12: Well, they want to run the ball, Mattie. They're not

1070
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 12: one of those teams that wants to drop back forty

1071
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 12: or fifty times. They do want to run the ball.

1072
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 12: Robinson is a physical, competitive runner. He's not necessarily a

1073
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 12: big playback, but he's a sustaining back and they want

1074
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 12: him to be a foundation of what they do on offense.

1075
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 12: Last week, through the first half, he wasn't. They were

1076
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 12: not getting much done in the run game, and the

1077
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 12: second half it started to click a little bit. Obviously,

1078
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 12: the score dictated that maybe they couldn't stay with the

1079
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 12: run as much as they would like.

1080
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 6: But in a normal game, they want to run the ball.

1081
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 6: I mean, my.

1082
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 12: Sense is in a normal game they would like Robinson

1083
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 12: to have twenty carries. And he's the kind of back

1084
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 12: that can wear you down. And while he's not truly explosive, guys,

1085
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 12: he's a little He's got a little more juice than

1086
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 12: you might think. He's not just you know, three yards

1087
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 12: in a cloud at dust. So you know, if this

1088
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 12: game has just played out normally without you know, let's

1089
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 12: say the Bills getting ahead big, then I think you'll

1090
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 12: see Robinson be a significant factor in the run game.

1091
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: I know it's only been too games in his NFL career. Here, Greg,

1092
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: but what is your take on Emmanuel Forbes? You know,

1093
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: their top draft choice, he's starting. He has an interception

1094
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: on his resume, already long, tall corner, it's a little

1095
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: bit of a slender build. But what have you made

1096
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: of his play? Through the first two weeks.

1097
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 12: He's a really good player Roundie I did him obviously

1098
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 12: coming out of Mississippi State. He can play press, he

1099
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 12: can play off. He's really quick to the ball. You know,

1100
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 12: he's obviously long leged just by the nature of his build,

1101
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 12: but that doesn't really seem to impact his his quickness,

1102
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 12: and he's got some suddenness to him. You know, he's

1103
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 12: a really good corner and he's shown throughout his career

1104
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 12: in college. And he had the pick last week. Obviously

1105
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 12: it was a miscommunication, but he still made the pick

1106
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 12: that when he does get his hands on the ball,

1107
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 12: he catches the football. So, you know, it'll be interesting

1108
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 12: how they played. They're you know, they're not necessarily a

1109
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 12: matchup defense, so you know, I think you'll see Fuller

1110
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 12: at left corner, Forbes at right corner. That's in their nickel.

1111
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 12: When they played big nickel, Saint ju just was the

1112
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 12: right corner and Fuller was the left corner. Forbes did

1113
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 12: not play in the big nickel. They had a third safety,

1114
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 12: Butler and he was you know, and he also played

1115
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 12: in the dime package, so you know, we'll see you know, obviously,

1116
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 12: Forbes is a really good player. I like him a lot,

1117
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 12: but he played right corner and fuller left corner when

1118
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 12: they were in their nickel or dime.

1119
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 2: Staying with rookies, what have you seen out of Osiris

1120
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 2: Torrents and Dalton Kinkaid through their first two games in

1121
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 2: the NFL.

1122
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, Kincaid's going to be a big factor

1123
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 12: in this offense, and it'll probably increases the season progresses,

1124
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 12: you know. Obviously the first game was a little bit

1125
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 12: of a struggle. This game was a certain kind of game,

1126
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 12: the one they just won against the Raiders to try

1127
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,919
Speaker 12: to get back on track. So there wasn't much verticality

1128
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 12: in this game by design, but he's capable of that, Kinkaid.

1129
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 12: But there was one play I really really like. I

1130
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 12: think it was in the second half where he hit

1131
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 12: him right in the middle of the field. I thought

1132
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 12: that was, you know, the kind of play that you know,

1133
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 12: you ultimately want to see, you know, and I thought that,

1134
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 12: you know, that was just a really good example of

1135
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 12: a sort of play calling more than anything else. But Torrance,

1136
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 12: I think he's he's been a little up and down,

1137
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 12: but I think you can see what kind of player

1138
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 12: that he is. I think he'll be a good run

1139
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 12: to a good run blocker. I think that the past

1140
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 12: pro will come more as he plays, but I think

1141
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,479
Speaker 12: he'll be a really good player. You know, just look,

1142
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 12: it takes time. It often takes time for offensive linemen.

1143
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: We did see greg that there are reports out of

1144
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Washington Logan Thomas is out for this week. Yeah, still

1145
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. I know they have some other

1146
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: athletic players like Cole Turner at the tight end position.

1147
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,959
Speaker 1: Do you think it changes their approach much, if at all.

1148
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 12: I don't think it changes it at all. Owner was

1149
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 12: a player they really liked. He's big, long, athletic, came

1150
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 12: out of Nevada. He's almost more like a wide receiver

1151
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 12: in some respects Brownie. So they'll play him and they'll

1152
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 12: play John Bates. So they do still have two tight

1153
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 12: ends that are a quality players, so they still can

1154
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 12: line up in twelve personnel. I don't think that that

1155
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 12: changes their approach or their philosophy of how they want

1156
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 12: to play at all.

1157
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 2: And then looking at the Bills offense, one facet of

1158
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 2: their offense, the run game against the Raiders really kind

1159
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 2: of popped off. You saw James Cook have one hundred

1160
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 2: and twenty three rushing yards, and Damian Harrison Latavius Murray

1161
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: were successful on the carries that they got as well.

1162
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 2: You saw Josh Allen only had seven rushing yards. You said,

1163
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders are a team that really wants to

1164
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 2: focus on running the ball, and we could see that

1165
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 2: a lot going forward the Bills with the quarterback that

1166
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 2: they have in Josh Allen, you know, not the focus

1167
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 2: of the offense because of the type of arm that

1168
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 2: Josh Allen has. But what did you see out of

1169
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 2: that run game and maybe how it could impact things

1170
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 2: moving forward if it continues to be as consistent as

1171
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 2: we thought as we saw it was against the Raiders.

1172
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think to me, ultimately.

1173
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 12: We'll see how they continue with the run game, because

1174
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,439
Speaker 12: what struck me was that nine of Cook's seventeen runs

1175
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 12: and granted they were ahead and they started to pull

1176
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 12: away in the second half, so we don't know if

1177
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 12: this is what they want to continue to do or not,

1178
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 12: but nine of Cook's seventeen runs came as an iback

1179
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 12: with Allen under center. I'm very curious to see if

1180
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 12: they kind of move a little bit in that direction

1181
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 12: and try to develop more of a run game in

1182
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 12: a more conventional way with Josh under center. Now, one

1183
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 12: play they love is sort of that sprint draw its.

1184
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 12: There's a lot of elements to this, this sprint draw

1185
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 12: that they run. They may not even call it sprint

1186
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 12: draw because there's different O line splits. It's kind of

1187
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 12: a tough play to evaluate for me because it looks

1188
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 12: different all the time. But it's in the sprint draw family.

1189
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 12: Obviously that's out of the gun. But I'm curious to

1190
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 12: see guys if they continue to run with Allen under

1191
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 12: center and have sort of a more conventional run game

1192
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 12: and feel like, hey, let's line up, let's try to

1193
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 12: be physical and let's run the ball as opposed to

1194
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 12: the run game being an offshoot of the pass game.

1195
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: That would seem to make sense to me this week,

1196
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: Greg especially, I mean, wouldn't you rather try to dictate

1197
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: to this defensive front, let your lineman fire off the ball,

1198
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: not all the time, but enough to kind of keep

1199
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: them honest, number one, and at least give your offensive

1200
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: line the feeling that, hey, let's dictate to them instead

1201
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: of backing up in pass pro for three quarters of

1202
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: the game.

1203
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 12: And I think that's a great point Brownie, because you know,

1204
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 12: the bottom line is this is one of the best

1205
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 12: d lines in the league. You know, we haven't mentioned

1206
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 12: Jonathan Allen or Deron Pain, and we should because they

1207
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 12: are really really good inside and Torrence obviously is going

1208
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 12: to get one or both of them throughout the course

1209
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 12: of the game. And you don't want to ask this

1210
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 12: old line to have to be in a reactive mode

1211
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 12: for a good part of the game. You want them

1212
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 12: to feel like they can come out and you know,

1213
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 12: use the football term to hit them in the mouth,

1214
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 12: as it were, and you want to feel like you

1215
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 12: can see how that goes.

1216
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 6: You know, So I agree with you. I think you

1217
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 6: might want to line up again.

1218
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 12: That doesn't mean you start every drive on first down

1219
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 12: and just hand it off, but I think that needs

1220
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 12: to be an element of your offense.

1221
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 2: Well, last one for me, we've covered a lot of

1222
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 2: the storylines of this game. What do you think this

1223
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 2: game comes down to between these two teams?

1224
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 12: You know, I think it with the Bills, I think

1225
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 12: it always comes down to efficiency on offense because you know,

1226
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 12: Josh Allen is one of the most intriguing quarterbacks in

1227
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 12: the league, and that he's so so knockout artist based

1228
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 12: that he can make big plays any given week. Obviously,

1229
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 12: last week though he did not do that. Obviously had

1230
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 12: the the forty yarder to Davis, which was on third

1231
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 12: down in the fourth quarter. He obviously made the incredible

1232
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 12: throat to Shakir for the touchdown, which was a great,

1233
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 12: great play, truly an unbelievable play. He can make those

1234
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 12: plays every week. So the question is the turnovers. And

1235
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 12: this is not a profound statement, but obviously we saw

1236
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 12: a game last week where there were no turnovers and

1237
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 12: so it became kind of a methodical blowout.

1238
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 6: They never gave the ball back to the other team.

1239
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 6: They were able to sustain.

1240
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 12: One thing about this Bill's offense these last number of years,

1241
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 12: as you guys know, which is, you know, everybody talks

1242
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 12: about third down being the quarterbacks down. The Bills are

1243
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 12: great on third down, and as long as they don't

1244
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 12: turn it over, their offense tends to really be good.

1245
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 12: It can be good in multiple ways. It can be

1246
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 12: good methodically, and it can be good with big plays.

1247
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 12: So that is really kind of what to me, most

1248
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 12: Bills games come down to because of you know that,

1249
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 12: because of the quarterback. I guess I would be surprised

1250
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 12: defensively if they gave up a ton of points. But

1251
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 12: on the other hand, as Brownie pointed out, Washington's three

1252
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 12: really good receivers, really good receivers, and they're tough to cover.

1253
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's interesting that you mentioned third down because

1254
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: that was going to be my next question, Greg, So

1255
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: fantastic segue here. Since twenty twenty two, the Bills offense

1256
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: is the best third down conversion offense in the league.

1257
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 6: Yep.

1258
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: And since twenty twenty two, the Washington defense is the

1259
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: best third down defense in the league. What we know

1260
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: why the Bills are good in converting on third down?

1261
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: What is it about Washington that makes them so effective

1262
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: in defending on third down? It's because they often force

1263
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: long down in distant situations or is it a little

1264
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: more complex than that.

1265
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, I certainly don't know offhand, Brownie. You know what

1266
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 12: they're third and long, you know how many they face, right,

1267
01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 12: But they certainly have a really strong pass rush. I

1268
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 12: think we can say that without you know, with no hesitancy,

1269
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 12: they can rush the quarterback, and they can rush the

1270
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 12: quarterback both outside and inside. So it's not as if

1271
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,479
Speaker 12: they just have one pass rusher that you feel, okay,

1272
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 12: if we take care of him, we're good. I mean,

1273
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 12: those two guys inside are really really good, Allen and Pain,

1274
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 12: and they can bull rush, they can drive interior alignment

1275
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 12: right back into the pocket. So there are going to

1276
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 12: be Josh Allen's second reaction movement plays in this game.

1277
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 12: So the question is what are the results of those plays?

1278
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 12: You know, that to me becomes a critical point. You know,

1279
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 12: I thought that Josh Allen in this past game against

1280
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 12: the Raiders was very conscious of not you know, of

1281
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 12: not making the kind of play that could really hurt you. Now,

1282
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 12: you know, it depends how this game plays out. You know,

1283
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 12: sometimes you need those plays, you need a big play

1284
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 12: depending on how a game goes.

1285
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 6: So we'll see.

1286
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 12: But their pass rush is going to post some problems

1287
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 12: at times in this game, and how Josh and the

1288
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 12: overall offense react to that could be a determining factor

1289
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 12: on how this game plays out.

1290
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: All right, Greg, thanks as always, enjoy the weekend and

1291
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 1: the oodles of football that will ensue, and we will

1292
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: catch up with you next week.

1293
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 6: All right, guys, appreciate it.

1294
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Thanks all right, that's great. Co Sale, Senior producer from

Speaker 1: Third Down is a money down every week, Maddie, as

1299
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: we know, but this week it could be the determining factor,

1300
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: not only because of what both sides bring to the table,

1301
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: but because of the decision making involved when chaos ensues,

1302
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: particularly for Josh, who's gonna have the ball in his hand.

1303
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good point by Greg there. Of Hey,

1304
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 2: at times, this defensive line is going to win against

1305
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 2: the Bills, and that may force the offense and Josh

1306
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 2: into a down and distance situation where maybe you do

1307
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 2: have to take a shot and you do put the

1308
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 2: offense maybe a little bit more in harm's way because

1309
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 2: you're throwing the ball into tighter windows, or you need

1310
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 2: that you need that completion of twenty twenty five yards.

1311
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,839
Speaker 2: So that should be interesting to see how the defense

1312
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: kind of dictates what the offense has to do down

1313
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 2: the stretch, third down and beyond.

1314
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,440
Speaker 1: And the only way you stay out of that predicament

1315
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: in allowing the defense to dictate to you is staying

1316
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: out of those long down in distant situations. If you

1317
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: can stay on schedule and be efficient, then you can

1318
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 1: prevent or at least thwart that defensive line from having

1319
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: a bigger impact on the game. Because if you're in

1320
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: third and two, third and three, third and four all day,

1321
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: life's a lot easier. Yeah, third and eighth, third, nine.

1322
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna have to really block it up with

1323
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: those four guys coming at you. So that, to me

1324
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 1: is a pivotal part of this game. How does third

1325
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,759
Speaker 1: down look in terms of distance for the Bills offense?

1326
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: If they can spend most of the day third and

1327
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 1: five are better, shorter, good, because that's what they did

1328
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: last week. They had thirteen third downs, only five of

1329
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: them were more than third and five, and they converted

1330
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: two of those. Anyway, I don't know if they're going

1331
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: to have that rate of success this week against this front,

1332
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: but if eight of your thirteen third downs again this

1333
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: week can be third and five or less, I think

1334
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: the advantage kind of tips towards the Bills a little

1335
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: bit because there's more for Ken Dorsey that he can call.

1336
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: The ball can get out of Josh's hand faster because

1337
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to wait for downfield routes to develop

1338
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: as long because there's less yards to gain. That really

1339
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,719
Speaker 1: tips the balance in favor of the Bills. The number

1340
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: one third down in football, number one third down team

1341
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: in football on offense since last season, against the number

1342
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: one third down defense in football since last season. It's

1343
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: really going to be compelling to see how that down

1344
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: plays out, specifically when Buffalo has the ball.

1345
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 2: I know we'll see different defenses down the road, and

1346
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 2: I know every opponent is different, but based on the

1347
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 2: game plan that they had against the Raiders last week

1348
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 2: and how we saw Josh Allen get the ball out

1349
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 2: quick and find open receivers really quick, sometimes a lot

1350
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 2: of times being that being his first option, his first

1351
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 2: place that he looked at. Do you think we could

1352
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 2: see a lot more of this out of Josh and

1353
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 2: the offense going forward.

1354
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: This type of approach, Yes, yes, because it is a

1355
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: proven winning model in this league. Mahomes did it, won

1356
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,640
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl last year, Burrow did it, you know,

1357
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: and got to the AFC title game playing that way,

1358
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 1: short efficient passing game, and Tom Bradio, by the way,

1359
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: won seven Super Bowls doing that. So it's a proven

1360
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 1: winning model in this league. I was telling Steve the

1361
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: other day, you could go all the way back to

1362
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: the Niner Super Bowl teams with Bill Walsh and the

1363
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 1: old West Coast offense. It was a horizontal timing based

1364
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,719
Speaker 1: passing game that got the ball out of Joe Montana

1365
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: or Steve Young's hand quick and it was very, very

1366
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: difficult to stop. Now, there were methods and means that

1367
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators used to neutralize it over time, but right

1368
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: now you've got so many defenses terrified to get and

1369
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: beat over the top. They're going to continue to play

1370
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 1: this way and force you to be efficient and consistent.

1371
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: They're betting on you over the course of twelve plays

1372
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: making a mistake, rather than only giving you four plays

1373
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: and running the risk of getting beat over the top

1374
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. They would much rather force you to

1375
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: run twelve plays to get points than four or five

1376
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 1: and give up a big play for a score. So

1377
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to see this and with this

1378
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: defensive front. Ie am all for them using exactly what

1379
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 1: they did that last week this week, just with maybe

1380
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 1: some different bells and whistles attached, so it doesn't look

1381
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: exactly the same as it does on film For all

1382
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: those Washington defenders watching it this week, Yeah, it.

1383
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 2: Looks so good. I mean, if you can put a

1384
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 2: couple drives together like that in the beginning of the

1385
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 2: game and get some confidence, not just Josh, but the

1386
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 2: offensive line gets some confidence going against that defensive line,

1387
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 2: I think that could really help the team going into

1388
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 2: the second, third, and fourth quarter, because of course you're

1389
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 2: gonna have confidence going into the game, but going up

1390
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 2: against defensive line like that, I think putting together, you know,

1391
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 2: a couple successful drives right away could really help put

1392
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 2: the offense on the right foot.

1393
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 1: And I'm a big proponent of more under center. My

1394
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: broadcast partner Eric would I'll give him the credit. He's

1395
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: been asking for that since last season, and we saw

1396
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: more of it last week. We saw some of it,

1397
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: and we wanted more of it last week, and I

1398
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: think it. I think it helps the psyche of Buffalo's

1399
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: offensive line because now they can fire off the ball,

1400
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: and as I was telling Greg, they can dictate to

1401
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: the opponent, hey, we're coming at you, right, We're not

1402
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 1: backing up and hoping we can hold you off. Now

1403
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: we're coming at you. And the other thing that it

1404
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,919
Speaker 1: does I think it helps your play action game. Obviously,

1405
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 1: play action is always more effective from under center than

1406
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 1: from the shotgun. And then the other thing too is

1407
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 1: I think it makes Josh a more dangerous quarterback on

1408
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 1: bootlegs because now he's dropping back, he could hand it off,

1409
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: and even if he fakes a handoff, he could take

1410
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 1: off the other way on a bootleg. And now people

1411
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: are biting on the run and he's got a better

1412
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: angle and more space to bootleg out and run that way.

1413
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 1: So there's just a multitude of reasons, not only because

1414
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,600
Speaker 1: of the matchup, but because of what it does for

1415
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo's offense to get Josh under center a good portion

1416
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: of the time. We have to take a break here,

1417
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: but when we return, it's time for collision course and

1418
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 1: Maddy and I will be talking about those three uber

1419
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: talented receivers that Washington will be putting on the field

1420
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,759
Speaker 1: this weekend against the Bills. Next here on One Bill's

1421
01:14:44,760 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: Live presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome

1422
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Here on a Friday, Chris

1423
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,720
Speaker 1: Brown Maddi lab with you, and the good news is

1424
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo's injury report is out. Everyone is fit to play.

1425
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: No one's even listed as questionable. Dawson Knoxy got back

1426
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 1: on the field today. He is good to go for Sunday.

1427
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: That is huge news, obviously. Spencer Brown popped up on

1428
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 1: the injury report yesterday with a shoulder. He's good to go.

1429
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: And Micah Hyde and Leonard Floyd both got back to

1430
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: practice yesterday on a limited basis, fully practiced today. They

1431
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: too are good for Sunday's game. The same cannot be

1432
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:45,959
Speaker 1: said for the Washington Commanders. Their tight end Logan Thomas

1433
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:50,919
Speaker 1: is out still in concussion protocol and questionable for Sunday.

1434
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: They're leading tackler safety Cameron curl he is out with

1435
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: an illness right now or he's questionable. Sorry, he's questionable

1436
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: with an illness practice today. And then Curtis Samuel, one

1437
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: of their top three receivers that we're gonna be talking

1438
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 1: about in a second, he's questionable as well, and he's

1439
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,839
Speaker 1: got a hip and an illness, so he missed practice today.

1440
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: So two questionable players there and pretty important players as

1441
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,639
Speaker 1: we'll get to in a second. Because right now it's

1442
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: time for Collision Course. Sounds like an action movie, and

1443
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 1: Collision Course is brought to you by Gabe's Collision. Gabes's

1444
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,600
Speaker 1: Collision is the official auto Collision Repair Center of the

1445
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills get back in the game with Gabe's Collision.

1446
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: And we chose to look at these three receiving talents

1447
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,759
Speaker 1: for the Commanders, Maddie, and it's a heck of a trio.

1448
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: I would argue it's probably the fastest group they're going

1449
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 1: to see this side of the Miami Dolphins. Yeah.

1450
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 2: I mean, Terry McLaurin leads the bunch with eighty five

1451
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 2: receiving yards so far in one receiving touchdown, but he's

1452
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 2: been able to connect on some deep balls with Sam

1453
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 2: Howell already this season. And then you've got Johan Dotson

1454
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 2: in his second year in the NFL, who's putting together

1455
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 2: a productive second year, looks like to start heading into

1456
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 2: his third week. And then Curtis Samuel as well. I

1457
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 2: know we just talked about him being on that injury report,

1458
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 2: but those are three guys that you're gonna have to

1459
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 2: look out for. I think we focused a lot about

1460
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:29,440
Speaker 2: the defensive line of the Commanders and the Bills offensive

1461
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 2: line and Josh being able to get the ball out,

1462
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 2: but I think another facet and storyline of this game

1463
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 2: is going to be our defensive backs going up against

1464
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 2: three talented receivers. It's not like they just have that

1465
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 2: one guy and Terry McLaurin. No, they have two other

1466
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 2: guys who have been involved in the game plan already

1467
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 2: to start the season. And you've got a quarterback who's

1468
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 2: been able to find all three of those guys. So

1469
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 2: I think our defensive backs will have their hands full

1470
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 2: shutting those three down.

1471
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1472
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen Howe will be aggressive throwing ball

1473
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: into tight windows. That's duing part to his arm strength,

1474
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: which I think is still underrated. But the other reason

1475
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: he's so confident is he's got a first round picking Dots,

1476
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 1: and a second round pick in Samuel, and a third

1477
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: round pick in McLaurin who plays like a first round

1478
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: pick to throw to every week. That would make anybody

1479
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: confident that has any measure of arm strength at the

1480
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: NFL level, and they're making plays for him. So without

1481
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas, who's out and in the concussion protocol for

1482
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: them their tight end, they're probably gonna be leaning on

1483
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: these three guys all the more. Curtis Samuel, I mean,

1484
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: he's questionable, but I would expect he's gonna play. Guy's

1485
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna eat some chicken soup and be good to go

1486
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And even if he's not, their fourth receiver

1487
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:42,679
Speaker 1: is Diami Brown, who Sam Howell played with in college

1488
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 1: for three years at North Carolina. So even if Samuel

1489
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 1: can't play, they got Brown waiting in the wings to

1490
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: step in if necessary. So this receiving core will be

1491
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: the stiffest test for the Bills to this point and

1492
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: may serve, quite frankly, as good prep for the demons

1493
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: they got down in Miami in Wattle and Hill, because

1494
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,759
Speaker 1: these guys can fly, maybe not to the same level

1495
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: you know that the Cheetah and Wattle can, but they

1496
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: are going to put some pressure on these dbs. And

1497
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 1: when you have receivers like this who can get up

1498
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:20,600
Speaker 1: on the toes of the defensive back so quickly, it

1499
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: forces the defensive back to make a decision. And that

1500
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: decision is is he going to break this route off?

1501
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: And I got to stick my foot in the ground

1502
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: to stay with him, or do I have to flip

1503
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: my hips because if I don't, he's gonna blow my

1504
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:35,879
Speaker 1: doors off and be behind me for a sixty yard touchdown.

1505
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: That's the kind of pressure that receivers with this kind

1506
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:43,680
Speaker 1: of speed can put on a defensive back. And it's

1507
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: not easy when you're facing those guys for sure.

1508
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 2: And that's where your safety's come into play too. Jordan

1509
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,720
Speaker 2: Poyer and Micah Hyde could be tasked with doing a

1510
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 2: lot if you're talking about the speed of receiver who

1511
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 2: can get by a cornerback. And when you look at

1512
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 2: our defense stats, looking at how they have done against

1513
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and against wide receivers so far, they've allowed two

1514
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns, good for ninth best in the NFL. They've

1515
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 2: been allowing a sixty five point two percent completion percentage,

1516
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 2: that's about middle of the pack in the NFL. They've

1517
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 2: had those three interceptions. I know Matt Milano has two

1518
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 2: of those. So not looking at the corners specifically or

1519
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 2: the safety specifically, but we'll see if they're up to

1520
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 2: the test. We've got some great corners and some great

1521
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 2: safeties on this team, so I would expect the bunch

1522
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 2: would do a good job against these receivers.

1523
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: So that is Collision Course brought to you by Gabe's Collision,

1524
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: the official auto collision Repair Center of the Buffalo Bills

1525
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: get back in the game. We pivot from collision Course

1526
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 1: to Tailgate Friday, and I got to say, I was

1527
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: expecting a few more submissions here. Look, I know we're

1528
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: on the road, but my goodness, uh Tailgate Friday presented

1529
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: by high Mark, Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Western New York,

1530
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: the official healthcare plan of the Buffalo Bills. And we

1531
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: usually have a handful of recipe ideas and I look,

1532
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: I love to hear these, So anybody wants to bring

1533
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: anything to the table, just send it to us. Add

1534
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: one Bill's live. But we do have this one submission

1535
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:16,640
Speaker 1: from Jack who is a weekly contributor, and I appreciate

1536
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: it because his recipes are pretty interesting and sometimes very unique.

1537
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: Heading to Landover today, So we're keeping it simple this week,

1538
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: going to grab subs from a certain large local grocery

1539
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: chain that just happens to have a location near FedEx Field.

1540
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: Thinking turkey roast, beef, salami, Capacla and ham. Can't forget

1541
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: that sub oil and ranch Doritos. Do you have a

1542
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: particular chip that you well, you don't really eat chips. No,

1543
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: I'll eat chips, they're baked chips.

1544
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1545
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,640
Speaker 2: No, I dabble in those chips sometimes. I like Cheetos,

1546
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 2: I like flame and hot Cheetohs. Really yeah, I can

1547
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 2: tear through all the.

1548
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: Vinegar guy on the chip end of the spec. I

1549
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: have to give my wife credit on that. She kind

1550
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: of introduced me to the salt and vinegar chip a

1551
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: long time ago, and they are exceptional and really good

1552
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 1: as a compliment to a sub's. That's the thing. When

1553
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: you're going on the road and you're going to tailgate

1554
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 1: at a visiting stadium, you don't really have the lay

1555
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: of the land the same way that you do when

1556
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 1: you're at home, and naturally, you know, could you put

1557
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of meat in a cooler and keep it frozen,

1558
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: like driving down to land over?

1559
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,679
Speaker 2: Sure, it sounds like a pain in the button.

1560
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a heavy lift, right like, So,

1561
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean if you are dyed in the wool tailgate griller, Okay,

1562
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: maybe you're bringing your hibachi on the road, you know,

1563
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: to a road game if you're driving, and there will

1564
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: be bills fans that make this drive. I know that,

1565
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's just easier to just play it, play

1566
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: it straight, make it easy on yourself, don't have a

1567
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 1: headache of running into all kinds of problems, not to

1568
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 1: mention the fact with rain in the forecast, grilling becomes

1569
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: infinitely more difficult, where you're better off probably popping the

1570
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: hatchback on your SUV, sitting in the back and just

1571
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: staying dry and chounge, chowing down on some subs or

1572
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 1: a cold sandwich of some kind. I mean, you can

1573
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: always get a hot sub, I guess too, But I

1574
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,680
Speaker 1: wonder if they make chicken finger subs down in the

1575
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: DC area. Maybe not. You can probably get a steak

1576
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: them down there, or you know, steak and cheese something

1577
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: like that, because you're not too far from Philly. But yeah,

1578
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: I would, I would be. I would probably go the

1579
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 1: way Jack is going. I'm not gonna make my life

1580
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: too difficult in a situation like that. We do have

1581
01:23:55,920 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: one more submission coming in here, Maddie. On the way

1582
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,720
Speaker 1: he hashtag Bill's Mafia, hashtag Ponto's army. Oh they got

1583
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: a photo and everything. Look at this, he's got the

1584
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 1: show on in the back seat. Unbelievable. Well done there,

1585
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: Dan Freddie, he says, wife. He is driving right now.

1586
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 1: I can get used to traveling like this. It's a

1587
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,600
Speaker 1: mini living room. I got snacks, drinks, space, pillows, and

1588
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,640
Speaker 1: a blanky all right. One Bill's live is on the iPad,

1589
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Stefan digs via YouTube on my car TV and the

1590
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: phone is free to tweet. Yeah, that's a heck of

1591
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:37,760
Speaker 1: a setup. There, heck of a setup. I like it.

1592
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 1: Snacks and drinks. Yeah, I wonder what he's going to

1593
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: be tailgating with. Split in the drive, that's the way

1594
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: to go. Although I gotta tell you, Manny, when I'm

1595
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 1: on a long road trip, I'd rather be driving because

1596
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 1: otherwise you get bored too easily. How do you do

1597
01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: you split up the driving or what do you use?

1598
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 2: If it's long, we'll split up the drive. But if

1599
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 2: it's just a couple hours, I'm usually sitting in the

1600
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:04,759
Speaker 2: past sign just hanging out yep, on my phone doing whatever.

1601
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: I prefer to do the driving because then I'm paying

1602
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: attention and I'm not bored out of my gourd. Of

1603
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 1: course I should probably talk a little bit more in

1604
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:17,600
Speaker 1: the car. So my wife is in his board. She

1605
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 1: is in the car sometimes, but you know, just get

1606
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: the playlist going and drive, drive, drive. I don't have

1607
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: a problem doing that, all right. So that's those are

1608
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: some good submissions, and we appreciate Freddy letting us know

1609
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 1: he's driving on down to land Over, Maryland. So that

1610
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 1: is Tailgate Friday, presented by Highmark Blue Cross, Blue Shield

1611
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 1: of Western New York. Break time for us here. We've

1612
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: got one more segment to go and it includes our

1613
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 1: vision to Victory. We'll tell you what that is next

1614
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented by Collide Health. It's

1615
01:25:51,720 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio Time for Vision to Victory presented by

1616
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 1: a Wall Eye Care, the official I care provider of

1617
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Maddie, what is your vision to A

1618
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: Bill's Victory Sunday?

1619
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,640
Speaker 2: Okay? My vision is that there's gonna be rain in

1620
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,759
Speaker 2: the forecast. Yes, so I'm thinking about what the Bills

1621
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 2: need to do if it's gonna be raining. We saw

1622
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 2: James Cook, Damien Harris, and Latavious Murray have a great

1623
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 2: game against the Raiders. James Cook went over one hundred

1624
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 2: rushing yards on the ground, Harris and Murray found the

1625
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 2: end zone on some rushing touchdowns. I think we're gonna

1626
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 2: need to see some more of that if we're dealing

1627
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 2: with wet conditions.

1628
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 1: You're thinking of a Mucket up type game potentially, and

1629
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna need your mutters to come through for you,

1630
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: and that would be Damien Harrison Latavious Murray. I like that.

1631
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm a proponent of the high efficiency model continuing on

1632
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, and if the conditions

1633
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,640
Speaker 1: are as the appear they could be, I think that

1634
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,560
Speaker 1: a short passing game would be smart as well to

1635
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 1: pair with that rushing attack. So I am all for

1636
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: the high efficiency model continuing for Buffalo's offense. I think

1637
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:15,759
Speaker 1: that will propel them to a valuable Week three victory. Mattie,

1638
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: what is the latest on the weather you were just

1639
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: checking during the break. It's not promising, guys.

1640
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 2: We were talking about this storm being a cyclone originally

1641
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 2: while warm Worn Sharp just tweeted breaking it's official. We

1642
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 2: have a tropical storm Ophelia, and it looks like it's

1643
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:34,320
Speaker 2: hitting the DC Baltimore area during the Commanders and Ravens games.

1644
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:37,639
Speaker 2: Per the National Hurricane Centers two o'clock model looking at

1645
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:39,559
Speaker 2: the track of the storm. So if you go on Twitter,

1646
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 2: you can see this model and it looks like it's

1647
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 2: moving up the coast and it's gonna be in Commander's

1648
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 2: territory in that DC Baltimore region area for kickoff. Oh,

1649
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be there before kickoffs and we're

1650
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 2: talking about the weather, but it's gonna it's still gonna

1651
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 2: continue on throughout this game.

1652
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, they said it. Originally it was supposed to rain

1653
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 1: all day, sad, and the hope was that it would

1654
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 1: be moving north up the coast by kickoff on Sunday.

1655
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,000
Speaker 1: That does not look to be the case. The storm

1656
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 1: has grown in size, so it's covering more area and

1657
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,600
Speaker 1: so it will not be out of the area by kickoff.

1658
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:16,640
Speaker 1: And you're saying it, they're saying it's going to be

1659
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 1: there like in the thick of it at two o'clock.

1660
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: Like that's late second quarter.

1661
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, so looks like a the whole game.

1662
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: It's a poncho day. Hopefully Freddy and Wandering Jack have

1663
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 1: their ponchos with him for this one. If they're going

1664
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: down to that game, which they said they were, Good luck, guys,

1665
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 1: get the poncho or if you don't have one, buy

1666
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 1: one because you're gonna need it along with what are

1667
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 1: they with your Wellington boots? Need your rubber boots out there?

1668
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 1: Thank god they fixed the drainage system there two years ago,

1669
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:54,599
Speaker 1: because if they didn't, they would unquestionably be standing water.

1670
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember the highlights of the game I

1671
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 1: watched like three years ago. It was Washington, another team,

1672
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:03,080
Speaker 1: and half the players looked like they were riding. No,

1673
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 1: they were on slipping slides, like diving for a ball.

1674
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: They would slide like fifteen yards because it was like

1675
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 1: a slipping slide. It was unbelievable. So the Bears forty

1676
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: nine ers was the game go because the Bears field

1677
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 1: used to be bad too, But I guess it's a

1678
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 1: little bit better now too. Washington's drainage system is a

1679
