Speaker 1: I'm giving Jay Harrison thumbs up on camera, so you know,

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get my my levels in my ears

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: right so I can hear him, and you know not

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: I can hear what I want to hear, and not

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: here what I don't want to hear. Oh man, you

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: can't do that, and is that you won't listen to

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: any of the show. He's asking me if I can

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: hear you, and I said, were you sitting right next

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: to me? I'm like, yeah, I hear him. We're just

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: getting used to bear with us. Welcome to the show.

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: We got a good one here today on this Tuesday afternoon,

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: the quiet day, if there is such a thing. During

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: the course of the regular season, players off, but there's

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of them here. They get their workouts in,

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: they got required weightlifting to do during the course of

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: the week. Many of them come in on Tuesdays and

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: do it. There's game plan work going on the coaching

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: staff and some of the players come in to get

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: involved in that, including the quarterbacks. Quarterbacks never get a

33
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: day off. Yeah, it's quiet, but it's not really quiet.

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: And I think I don't know, am I overstating it

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: to say there's the win over the Dolphins. While it

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: was a bad opponent. We know that the Dolphins were

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: not a good team. I think in some way, Steve,

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: I get the sense it's as sort of reinvigorated this

39
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's team, not that they were down and out,

40
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: but you know, they had lost two of three going

41
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: into the Miami game. They were struggling again to put

42
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: up points, and now they come off a game where

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: they scored thirty seven and we're dominant defensively. I get it. Look,

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: I know who they played. I told you, I told

45
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: everybody they're going to score thirty points. They did that,

46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: they exceeded that, and I think that went against the Dolphins,

47
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: although it was only the Dolphins, is sort of given

48
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: a little jolt of energy to this place this week,

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: like yeah, because it looked like it should have looked

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: against a team that was struggling. Yeah, they beat him

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: by seventeen points in that game. Wasn't that close? You know,

52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: they had one guy make a play on them or

53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: it would have been thirteen. It had been thirty seven

54
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: thirteen without the kickoff return. I mean they got to

55
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: play on them with a surprise on side and they

56
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: fumbled it away to the Bills. The next play they

57
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: got it back and now away they went. So it

58
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: was the game was while it was close at times

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: within a score or two scores, it was never in doubt.

60
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: And the Bills looked like the better team, played like

61
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: the better team, and the score indicated so that, you know,

62
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: it does make you saying, okay, a week opponent we

63
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: looked like a good football team against. You gotta look

64
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: like a good football team against the tough teams too,

65
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: And that's that's where we're sitting. Um, there's no doubt

66
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: that the Bills are in the playoff conversation in the AFC. Um.

67
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: They're in in the midst of I don't think there's

68
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: too many teams. I think other teams are looking at

69
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the Bills like, Okay, well, you know, they haven't played anybody,

70
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: but they're beating teams, so they know that the Bills

71
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: have got some things under the hood that they can

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: go to and they and they're gonna have to play

73
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: well to beat this team. And it's like I said

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, when they were went, you know,

75
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: winning close games, they were beating a lot of so

76
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: so teams. They're tough to beat. The Bills are even

77
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: if they're not impressive offensively, they're really tough to beat

78
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: because of the quality of their defense, their big playability

79
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: from their quarterback position, Their running game is what average

80
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: above average, Their passing game is is maybe above average,

81
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: above average, maybe below average maybe or whatever, but it's there.

82
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: And they got some guys that can make some play.

83
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: So they got and they got a quarterback that is

84
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: a playmaker with his legs, and they're they're handful. They're

85
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: un team. I think, although there are other teams that

86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: lean on their defense, this Bill's team is tough to beat,

87
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: and I think that continues to be their identity. You know,

88
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: forget about you know they you know, Josh through for

89
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: three and ran for one last week. He's still the

90
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: engine of the offense. But that doesn't make them that

91
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: much different than a lot of other teams that lean

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: on their quarterback and kind of have a playmaker that's

93
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: kind of that, you know, Lamar Jackson, kind of Patrick Mahomes,

94
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: that's that mindset. You know, Josh isn't anywhere near that.

95
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: He's more like the old Cam Newton, you know, kind

96
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: of thing. They're tough to beat because their quarterback is

97
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: tough to get down and get off the field, you know.

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: So I think that's where we're at. We're a good

99
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: football team, maybe not great, but we seem to be

100
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: a good football team and pretty consistently good. You know.

101
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: It took a really talented team in Cleveland to beat him.

102
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: It took the Philadelphia Eagles putting together their best effort

103
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: to beat him. The Dolphins gave him their best swing

104
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: of the season, couldn't beat him the first time around. Yeah,

105
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: so that we'll see. I guess where we're at. We're

106
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: a good football team, seem to be getting better in

107
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: some areas, a little herky jerky up and down, but

108
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: steadily improving, trying. We're trying to figure out today and

109
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: today's a theme of the show, the answers maybe we

110
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: got from the win over the Dolphins. You don't want

111
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: to overstate it, because the Dolphins are bad. We know that,

112
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of good things happening in

113
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: that Dolphins game, and we're trying to figure out where

114
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: it takes. The Buffalo Bills as they approached the stretch run,

115
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: I wrote about the stretch run a little bit of

116
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: post that I'll go up on Buffalo Bills dot com.

117
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I believe first thing tomorrow. Here they come six games left,

118
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: three on the road, three at home. The path is

119
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: going to get tougher, a little bit tougher down the

120
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: road here on the schedule. Only Denver is one of

121
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: only two teams left on the Bills roster with a

122
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: record under five hundred Denver and the Jets. In between them,

123
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: you got winning winning records from Dallas, from Baltimore, from

124
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: New England, and a five hundred record from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

125
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: You know, there's some road games coming up, three road games,

126
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: there's some and the Bills obviously in the playoff mix.

127
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it, and you can fret and

128
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: worry and steve and think, oh, this might not happen

129
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: and they need ten they might need eleven wins. You

130
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: know what I thought at the end of the day,

131
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: I got up this morning, wrote the arc. I thought,

132
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: this is gonna be fun. We're gonna have a fun

133
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: December here for the Bills. Really, it's gonna be a

134
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: it's look. I don't think they're gonna sweek these remaining

135
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: six games. I'd be shocked if that happened, but they

136
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: are in position to have it set up themselves up

137
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: for a really fun month of December where the Bills

138
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: go into every game really needing to win. Whether it's

139
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: at New England or home against Baltimore, you're gonna go

140
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: into that game thinking if we week seventeen against the Jets, yeah,

141
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna need wins and you're gonna need to start

142
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: watching the scoreboard. I think that almost starts this weekend.

143
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: We haven't had a whole lot of that right over

144
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: the years here, seventeen year playoff drought in a couple

145
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: of years since then. And I think the Bills are

146
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: positioned well. They're not guaranteed, to think, but they are

147
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: positioned very well to make a playoff push here, and

148
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: they got to do it. But it's gonna be fun.

149
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: We got high stakes football games coming up, the final

150
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: six games, and I can't wait. It's fun when you

151
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: think about it like that. But also you're sitting there

152
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: right you know, you're wringing your hands because this isn't

153
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, this isn't the you know, the Chiefs from

154
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: last year. It's not the Rams from last year. It's

155
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: not the Saints. I mean, where you think, Okay, we're

156
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna score our twenty eight points, can we hold you know,

157
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: it's not like you know, you think, like if we

158
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: get the ball last, there's no way they can keep

159
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: us off the scoreboard. You know, we're we're in these

160
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: nail But with the exception of last week, you're you've

161
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: been in a lot of nail biting games and you

162
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: gotta think going down down the list of these games

163
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: coming up, all those games are nail biters on paper,

164
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: right on paper, right now, right now. So that's like

165
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: it's the angst is just tangible. Again. I would advise

166
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: fun though, right plug into it, soak it up. We

167
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: have not had enough of this. You know this, I

168
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: know this, you know this. We have not had enough

169
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Decembers like this over the years. Here it is, folks,

170
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: at the end of November and a month of December,

171
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: where every game matters, where you got chances to win,

172
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna need to keep an eye on the

173
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: other scores too. I think it's gonna be great and

174
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: it's not. And it's easy to go through those six

175
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: games and conjure, up, you know we could beat we

176
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: could beat that team. Are you gonna be a lot

177
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: of people are gonna will Dallas on Thanksgiving? Dallas has

178
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: a losing record on Thanksgiving. That's you know, think about it.

179
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: They got a losing record on Thanksgiving. That's gonna be fun.

180
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: You know that. That's the fun part because you gotta

181
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: and let me give you an insight as to what

182
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: the team is thinking. The players in the line think

183
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: are thinking, Man, let's go. This is gonna be awesome.

184
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 1: This is these are the games, these last six games.

185
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: This is what you wait on. This is what you

186
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: want to play in the NFL for, play for something meaningful.

187
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: And I've said it a gazillion times. Your reward for

188
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: winning a big game is another big gather. One yea

189
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: is a bigger game, a more important game. That's the

190
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: fun part of it. And the angst and the uncertainty

191
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: of going into those games is the fun for the fans.

192
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta get your arms and like I've

193
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: been telling, just like you gotta gi him a big hug.

194
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Let's go because it's it's gonna be a fun stretch

195
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: down these last six games of the season. They're gonna

196
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: be obs goals. I mean, this isn't there's laid out.

197
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: There's problems to solve, you know, in the next six weeks,

198
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be And I don't want fans to

199
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: be uh, you know, anxious and like, oh what happens.

200
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: Who's gonna have to be fired if they don't make

201
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about now,

202
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: right now, this week and next week and the four

203
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: games after that, Plug into it. Soak it up. The anxiety, yes,

204
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: but the fun of winning some of these games. I

205
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: know they're gonna win. Uh, some of these games. You know,

206
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: these six remaining games, I might win four of them,

207
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: you know, maybe three. I don't know if they win six.

208
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: But plug into it, you know, plug into it and

209
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: enjoy it. You haven't had this enough if you're a

210
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: Bills fan. That's all. That's my own, my lone lecture

211
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: for the data that sound like I'm lecturing. I'm not lecturing. Look,

212
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about it. I can't walling it together.

213
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all in it together this, you know,

214
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: Bills fans and the team and the players, and then

215
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: you know, the whole building here are on board with

216
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: what they have done. I think it's at this point

217
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: there's no question we know that the personality of this team.

218
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: I still think it's been fun. Even with last year,

219
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: from the moment where after the playoff season where they

220
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: first got here and we got really it's got to

221
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: be considered a pleasant surprise. They got the playoffs in

222
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: the first year of a first year head coach, when

223
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: they were accused of tanking early in that season. Last year,

224
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: early in the season May, first half of that season,

225
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: you seem kind of bottomed out, you know what I'm saying,

226
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: where they were rebuilding, they were starting, and then they

227
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: started playing young guys like Robert Foster. Josh Allen got

228
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: on the field as a starter, took a side step

229
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: when he got his elbow injured, and we waited on

230
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: him to get back. We had four different quarterbacks starting.

231
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: Those were some dark days last year. But when Josh started,

232
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: got back on the field after the Houston game four

233
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: weeks later, and they started. It has been a fun ride.

234
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: And it's been the chase where you're getting into the

235
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: realm of competitive football every single week, where teams are

236
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: looking at you going, Okay, we think we can beat him,

237
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: but uh, they're gonna be tough. Now that's where we're at,

238
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: and I know teams are sitting there going, now, we

239
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: can beat that team, and that's where they should be.

240
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: That's where the Bills should be, and that's where they are.

241
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: We can beat this guy. These guys, that's where they

242
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: really believe they are. And I think as fans, you

243
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: gotta get there and say, okay, let's go. This is

244
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: a stepping stone. It's not like, Okay, that's a win,

245
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: that's a win, that's a win. That list, when you

246
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: go down, that win and lost thing in your head

247
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: starts to get bigger and bigger on the win column

248
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: than it does the loss column. That's where we're at.

249
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: I remember being on the team like that, where you were,

250
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, eighty four, two and fourteen, eighty five, two

251
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: and fourteen, you know, eighty six, you were what four

252
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: and twelve or whatever, five and eleven. Then Marv Levy

253
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: takes over to them as a strike here. Then all

254
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're twelve and four and eighty eight,

255
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: and you come back saying, hey, we're good, you know.

256
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: And it's that ascension and that feeling of we're different

257
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: than we used to do and that's a fun place

258
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: to be. I hope fans get the sense of that.

259
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: I hope you've plugged into that. We try to convey

260
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: that on this show. And you can have questions about

261
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: what they do, you should. You can have concerns about

262
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: what they're doing, you should. They're not a finished product

263
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: at all, but here they are right in the race,

264
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: right in the race, fifth seed in the AFC, right now,

265
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: did they answer questions for you Sunday at Miami. That's

266
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: kind of the topic of our show today. I mean, look, offensively,

267
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: I think they answered some questions. Are they definitive answers

268
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: that stay for the year. They're up to the nineteenth

269
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: ranked offense in the league right now, eighth in rushing,

270
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: twenty third in passing. That's not great. They are twentieth

271
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: and points scored per game. The Bills average twenty one

272
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: points per game. They average given up seventeen points per game.

273
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: So you'd like to see him sustain that offensive success, right,

274
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: thirty seven points that'll be hard to do, but maybe

275
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, twenty four, twenty eight points. You know, if

276
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: you can get into that level. They haven't done that

277
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: successfully much of the season, and then they had the

278
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: big explosion against Miami. Our question today it's a Twitter poll.

279
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: What's the biggest factor for the Bills offense to sustained success?

280
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: The kind of offense they ran this past week and

281
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: you watch the game, you know what they did, you

282
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: know how they did it. What do you think the

283
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: factors are for the Bills to carry that forward into

284
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: these final half dozen games? You can vote on the

285
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: Twitter poll at one bills Live. You can send in

286
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: a tweet. We will read him on the tweet sheet.

287
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: You can give us a call to discuss the phone

288
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: line's wide open right now eight oh three oh five

289
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: fifty or from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight by

290
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. What's the biggest factor for the

291
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense to sustain the success that they showed in Miami?

292
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: On Twitter? We got more than three hundred votes in

293
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: right now and half of you, fifty percent of you

294
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: say it's the pace, continue with the up tempo pace,

295
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: no huddle. We'll talk about that in a minute. Thirty

296
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: three percent of you say keep Josh Allen versatile, let

297
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: him run with it like he did successfully early and

298
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: again especially this past Sunday. Eleven percent say just keep

299
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: it simple offensively. I want to talk about that in depth.

300
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Two six percent have something else in mind. I think

301
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: they're all good answers. By the way, there's no incorrect

302
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: answer here, But what to your mind, what's the biggest

303
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: factor for the Buffalo offense to sustain success? Give us

304
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: a call eight O three oh five fifty and toll

305
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

306
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Brian Dable talked about the no huddle yesterday. We'll get

307
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: to that, but you've got something to say about this team. Well,

308
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm surprised when you said they're averaging twenty one points

309
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: a game. You know, we've talked about back a few

310
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago. It was eighteen points a game and we

311
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: needed thought they needed to get to twenty four points

312
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: per game to average, to be a team that is

313
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: statistically could go deep in the playoffs. They're they've improved

314
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: by an entire field goal so far. Now the Miami

315
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: game helped with that, but they're getting better. They were

316
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: like eight they were like eighteen points or at at

317
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: one point they were sixteen points a game or something

318
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: like that, and they were still winning games against the

319
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: opponents in the first half. Now they're getting into the

320
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: second half of the season. Now they're up to twenty

321
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: one point one a game. And that's you gotta keep going,

322
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta keep there's a little more room.

323
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: But they are growing. I mean, the numbers are looking

324
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: at and it is getting there. I was surprised. I'm

325
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: surprised by that. I gotta be honest with you. I

326
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: guess there's seven points that jumps him up a little bit,

327
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: no question about it. But that's that's the same Miami

328
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: team that everybody else is playing. It's the same Cleveland

329
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: the team that everybody else is playing at the same

330
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm I'm optimistic about that's good. That's

331
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: a good thing. And I'm interested too. They played a

332
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: lot of eleven personnel this last week. Brian Dable was upstairs,

333
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: and you know, all this stuff people are going, Okay,

334
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: they're doing, you know, you take it for granted. I'm surprised.

335
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: I haven't thought about this very much, except you know,

336
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: when we're getting ready for the show. They're changing. They're

337
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: changing stuff all the time on this offense and this defense,

338
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: and with the coaching staff, they are tinkering with their

339
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: own process all the time to try and get better.

340
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: And I'm and I know that people say, well, putting

341
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Brian Dable up stairs and at the beginning of the

342
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: second half of the season is a nod towards trying

343
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: to change to get better. By this coaching staff, they're

344
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: tinkering with stuff. Isaiah McKenzie up, Duke Williams down, Robert

345
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Foster up, somebody else down. All these changes that they're

346
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: making with the roster. Are all attempts to get better. Yeah,

347
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's you take it from granted that, Wow,

348
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: it's about time. It's easy. But they're doing it. I

349
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: mean we didn't. I don't remember doing this in other years,

350
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying with other regimes as much

351
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: as we see it with this guy. We have talked

352
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: all season about how flexible they are offensively, and I

353
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: sort of bristle when callers will say, well, they're predictable

354
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: on offensive Thanks, No, they're not. They have not been predictable.

355
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: You know what. The most predictable offensive attack they had

356
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: all season? You know what game it was two days ago.

357
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: They were predictable. They had basically one predominant personnel group

358
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: out there, eleven personnel with NOx It tight end, Singletary

359
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: at running back and Brown, Beasley and McKenzie at the

360
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver spots. Eleven personnel for most of the game.

361
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: That was the most predictable offensive attack. The Bills have

362
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: shown this true for three and ran for one right,

363
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: and they were the most productive they've been offensively against. Yes,

364
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: I know an inferior opponent, which gets back to our

365
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. I want to answer the Twitter poll when

366
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: we ask the question, I do want I want to

367
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: give this answer, and I lost a questionnaire. What did

368
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: they do? What's the biggest factor? You know what the

369
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: biggest factor was? For me? How simple it was? I

370
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: worry and I wondered, and I voiced this opinion on

371
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: the show a couple times over the last few weeks.

372
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: Said they were so involved and trying to match up

373
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: their offensive attack, their personnel groups, their play calls, yes,

374
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: play calls, their whole offensive approach to whoever their opponent was.

375
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: This week, they just cut it all down. Part of

376
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: it was going up tempo, no huddle, clearly, part of

377
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: it sending Brian Dable upstairs. That was a factor, right,

378
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: And you can see he's in direct communication with Josh

379
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: Allen through his ears up until fifteen seconds left on

380
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: the play clock. Josh said right over there. Yesterday I

381
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: said to him, did Brian get down to fifteen seconds?

382
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: You know, did he up against the clock? And he

383
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: said not really. We got the play in quickly, we

384
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: went to the line of scrimmage, We looked things over

385
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: and h and ran it. And I think the fact

386
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: that they went simple Sunday a little simpler. It wasn't,

387
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: you know, first grade stuff, but a little simpler. I

388
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: think that was a factor. I really do, Steve yeah

389
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: me where I vote on the Twitter and the MP

390
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: tempo tends to back in the old days. It tends

391
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: to simplify the defense of what you're looking at because

392
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: they're up against it as well, so they simplify some things.

393
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: You say, hey, let's just get lined up, you know,

394
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: and get everybody covered up and then we'll go from there.

395
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: So it used to be a signal to the offense

396
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: that the defense was starting to simplify as well. When

397
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: you simplify and go fast, they don't have time to

398
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: communicate and to check and to make sure that they're

399
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: getting everybody lined upright or with any sophisticated calls or checks.

400
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: So they sent tend to simplify because they got to

401
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: get lined up quick because the ball's gonna get snapped.

402
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: So there's that as well. So maybe some of that

403
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: went on, and maybe that was a nod to maybe

404
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: Miami was having trouble doing that in the early parts

405
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: of their games and the other games. So I'm not

406
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: saying it has to be that way this week, or

407
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: maybe they'll be able to do it this week. You know,

408
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos have a defensive head coach. He may

409
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: have a plan for defending or counteracting the up tempo

410
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: pace of the buff Flow Bills, and maybe their their

411
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: game plan will be, Hey, we're gonna take We're gonna

412
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: send pressure. If they we think they're blocking five, we're

413
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: always gonna send six. If they're blocking six, we're always

414
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna send seven, you know, and vice versa. You know,

415
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: it might be commensurate with that, or it maybe if

416
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: they're going fast, we're gonna rush three because we got

417
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: Von Miller. We're gonna he's gonna get home. Yeah, you know,

418
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna drop eight into coverage and say,

419
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: if you can keep Vaughan out of there, out of

420
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: your backfield, we'll see. Uh, we're gonna go through or

421
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: rush three every time and have a spy on Josh

422
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: Allen because he runs as all this stuff as possible.

423
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna have an answer for it, you know they will.

424
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: So it may not work this week, but certainly worked

425
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins, and that was the game plan

426
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: going in, and you know, kudos and the coaching staff

427
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: are coming up with it and having the players execute

428
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: it the way they did, and we look forward, what's

429
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: the biggest factor for the Bills to sustain the success

430
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: that they demonstrated on Sunday? Sustain it on offense? And look,

431
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: I might be you might think I'm wrong. Tell me,

432
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: I want to hear it. And I'm still learning about it,

433
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: but after listening to the comments from coaches and players,

434
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: after watching the game a couple of times, I'm thinking

435
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: that the simplicity of it had something to do with it.

436
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: Now is that mean they win everything else going forward?

437
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, Probably not, but I think it's a factor.

438
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: And look, part of it was Dabo going upstairs having

439
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: a good look at it. Part of it was no huddle.

440
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: It's not the only deciding factor. I think the main

441
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: factor was how efficiently and simple they were offensively. Dabo

442
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: talked about it yesterday, the basically one personnel group eleven

443
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: personnel for most of the game, and he was asked,

444
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: Brian Dabo was asked what went into making that decision

445
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: to stay with eleven personnel. Here's his answer. I think

446
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: some of the no huddle stuff, you know, when you're

447
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: again there's a couple of ways to the game plan. Obviously,

448
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: you'd like to try to use as many guys as

449
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: you can use. But if you're going up tempo and

450
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: rhythm offense, you know, the changing of personnel package just

451
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: slows things down. So when you're getting positive yards, whether

452
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: that being the run game or you know, plays in

453
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: the passing game, you don't want to give the defense

454
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: outportunity to substitute. You know, there's a couple of plays

455
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: there that Josh went quick and we caught them with

456
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: you know, twelve guys on the field and we got

457
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: a quick sneak. When you're not changing personnel, it allows

458
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: you to play quicker. And let me be clear, and

459
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: you might think I'm wrong, but I maintained that they

460
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: didn't win because they were no huddle, and they didn't

461
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: win and put up thirty seven points because Dabo was upstairs.

462
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: I think they were successful offensively because everything was paired down,

463
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: you know, eleven personnel, this is what we're going with,

464
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: this is what we're running. We're gonna call these plays

465
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: in a hurry. We're gonna get you to the line

466
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: of scrimmage to get a look. I think that was

467
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: the biggest factor and maybe the biggest factor for them

468
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: to sustain offensive success moving forward. Tell me if I'm wrong,

469
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm open to I'm open to criticism. And the philosophy

470
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: is this, if you've got a personnel grouping where your

471
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: opponent is having trouble matching up with it, you don't

472
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: change it. And Plus, if you if your opponent matches

473
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: up with it and you've got to match up, you

474
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: like in that personnel grouping, you attack matchup. And then

475
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: if they make an adjustment defensively somehow someway in the

476
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: next series and it changed and your matchup changes, but

477
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: you still like it, you don't change it then, and

478
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: you go after the different matchup that you like. So,

479
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 1: for instance, if they put more dbs on the field

480
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden that moves a different defender

481
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: onto Cole Beasley or a different defender onto Isaiah McKenzie,

482
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: you still like that matchup. Hey, you don't you keep

483
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: up Temple, you know what I'm saying. So, and that

484
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: might have been the case with the Miami Dolphins. They're

485
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: so depleted personnel wise in their secondary or their front

486
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: that you still like the matchup when they adjust when

487
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: they go to seven or eight defensive backs. Look, hey,

488
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: we still like our matchups. Let's go. And by the way,

489
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: that's easy to do against an underman. That's right. That's

490
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: why you may not look at that defense. I don't care.

491
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't care who they about the right exactly, So

492
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: you may not see it as much this week, or

493
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: if you do get out there and you say, okay,

494
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna put three tight ends in and say okay,

495
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna go three tight ends and we're gonna split

496
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: our guy. We're gonna split a Knox and Croft out

497
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: and put them wide. And then let's see your linebackers

498
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: on space, on Tyler Croft and Dawson Knox. Let's see

499
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: your linebackers on those guys. Oh you can't. We like that.

500
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep going fast paced, but we're gonna do

501
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: it in twenty two personnel or thirteen personnel. Right, So

502
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: if you do that, you kill still go fast paced,

503
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: but you're that defense has a different adjustment and you

504
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: go until they can they match up against it. So yeah,

505
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: I like it. You're right, Murphy. It's not the cure role.

506
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: And we've said it a ton of time. It's not

507
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: the magic Eliictir, you know, going no huddle, but it

508
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: can be if that other team doesn't have an answer,

509
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: And it's not about the pace of the offense. It's

510
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 1: about them not being able to substitute defensively between plays,

511
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: and you get a matchup that they can't answer, and

512
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden in your matchup, if you're hitting

513
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox when he split out, if he's in the slot,

514
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: and you got Tyler Croft on the slot on the

515
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: other side, and you got Cole Beasley outside of one

516
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: tight end, and you got John Brown outside the other

517
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: tight end, or vice versa, you got Brown inside one

518
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 1: of their tight ends. You know, Dawson Knox is all

519
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: the way to the sidelines and John Brown is the

520
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: slot receiver. How are they gonna not match up with that?

521
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: All those matchups, you start watching that and say they

522
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: don't have an answer for that, And then if they

523
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: do have an answer, all of a sudden, you bring

524
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: those guys in tight and you're running the ball down

525
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: their throat all of a sudden. You know, So you

526
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: got these matchups on the field that you can exploit.

527
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: Just keep going, and then the key is that they

528
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: can't change their personnel on the fly, and then when

529
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: you get that matchup, you can exploit it either with

530
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: the run or the past. So it's all it's you know,

531
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: it sounds complicated, It's not really that complicated, but it's

532
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: out there, and now the Denver Broncos have to sit

533
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: back and say, Okay, what's our answer. And that's what

534
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: you find out in those first twelve or thirteen scripted

535
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: plays when you start that game on Sunday. No. By

536
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: the way, the Broncos were a twenty to nothing halftime

537
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: lead at Minnesota. Minnesota comes out second half in no

538
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: huddle and they lust it. They somehow lost twenty seven

539
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: twenty three. They got beat They'll scored three points in

540
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: the second half. Kirk Cousins, Minnesota quarterback. He was asked

541
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: if their second half no huddle threw off Denver. He said,

542
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: it worked. I don't know if that's because they got

543
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: winded or if they didn't have the same get off

544
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: in the first half. Not sure, but it definitely worked.

545
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: No huddle maybe a factor. Brian day Bob upstairs, was

546
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: that a factor some people think it was. Day Ball

547
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: was asked about it yesterday when he met with the

548
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: media late yesterday afternoon. What are the benefits? What did

549
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: you get from being up top in the press box

550
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: to get a view of the game and calling the

551
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: place where I'm up there. There's what Brian Dable said.

552
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: That's something that I talked to Sean about it. You know, again,

553
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: I give credit to the players. You can see some

554
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: things up top and uh, you know, I have probably

555
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: a broader vision of it. But again, it's at the

556
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's about the players, and they

557
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: did a really good job execute and you know, I'm

558
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: happy for those guys. Communication Josh the same, the same. Yeah.

559
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: The only thing that's different is, you know, I gotta

560
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: call him on the phone in between series and talk

561
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: to him. But but up top, you know, it's it changed.

562
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're a change where you can

563
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: communicate directly with the quarterback from wherever you are, whether

564
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: it's downstairs or up top. There's no change in that.

565
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: All came together, I think, obviously against an inferior opponent

566
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: in Miami and with a couple of things. Didn't play

567
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: dable up top, no huddle offense, um Josh Allen played well.

568
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: That was probably by the way all of this if

569
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: Josh doesn't play the way he played throwing and running.

570
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about this right, all these little tenny

571
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: and if Brian Dable doesn't have a snazzy new mustache,

572
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: which I like, you do, like I do? Okay, he

573
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: looks like he needs a cowboy hat and spurs. I

574
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: mean he's in he's the town sheriff. It's very cool looking. Yeah,

575
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: have we talked too much? If I talked too much,

576
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: let us know. We got phone lines open eight three

577
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

578
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Your thoughts on this question? Biggest factor

579
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: for the Bills to sustain the kind of offensive success

580
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: they had against Miami? What do you think it is?

581
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: Phone us in a phone in your thoughts, send it

582
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: a tweet. We'll eat him on the tweet sheet boat

583
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: in the twitter poll. We got all that on the table.

596
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalida Health Live from the Seneca Studio,

597
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes close. Huge discussion about hagis,

598
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: which is a Scottish dish cooked inside a sheep's stomach.

599
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: It's barley. It is not good. I've heard nothing but

600
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: bad things about haggis. And then somebody out in the

601
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: Thomas Holller said no, it's really good. No, No, I'm

602
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: there's no. Yeah, I've never had it. I don't think

603
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: I'll ever let me try. I mean, that's my nickname

604
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: for Steve Christy. Steve Christie's mom and dad are like

605
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: first generation off the boat from Scotland. So haggis has

606
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: got this big Scottish back. I mean, Steve Christie has

607
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: a Scottish background and it's his heritage. Right. So, in fact,

608
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: on my last game of my career road trip to

609
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay, the one I got thrown out of, Yes, yeah,

610
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: I talked him into wearing his his you know, because

611
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: we had to dress up. It was coat and tiele

612
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: all the time with Marv Leevey's our head coach. Right, So, Haggis,

613
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: I talked him into wearing his Scottish kilt. With the

614
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: ways he looks. He looked like a million bucks too. Man,

615
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: it was great. So he did that. Uh so he's

616
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: a big Scottish guy. So I nicknamed him Haggis I

617
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: because I thought Haggis was a right. The food, Yeah,

618
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: the food, like I mean, you know, think about the

619
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: region that it's from. Yeah, I mean, I'm just hearing

620
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: Hagis is supposed to be really good. Only if it's

621
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: like you gotta doll it up right with spices and

622
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: stuff that they weren't didn't have in Scotland. I won't

623
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: be ordering a cheap stomach. Yeah. Right. And it's Barley.

624
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, not that I have anything against barley, but right,

625
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, I'll drink my barley of a Barley sandwich.

626
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: Another another top quality conversation in the break that we

627
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: had so yeah, so and it's yeah, I'm gonna that start.

628
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: It all came from the Alberta man it was. It

629
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: was Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, No, Saskatchewan, then Alberta. Calgary's in Alberta,

630
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: which is west of Saskatchewan, west of Manitoba, west of Ontario,

631
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: thank you, south of the North West Territories, yes, and

632
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: east of British Columbia. Ukons up there as well. Yukon

633
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: is up there, yes, but that's part of the Northwest Territories. No,

634
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: U kinds are separate, Is it all right? I didn't

635
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: look that much. We had the map out looking at it, yes,

636
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: because we were in some I didn't all the healthy

637
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: Helperton's on Twitter helped me out with it because I

638
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: didn't know where where Calgary was yesterday. So I got

639
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: with a nice about six thousand, well a little bit smug,

640
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, they were nice. That's Twitter. Yeah, Hey, the

641
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: show today. What we got a Twitter question? What's the

642
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: biggest factor for the Bill's offense to sustain success? What

643
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: do you think continue with the up tempo pace, keep

644
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen versatile, let him run, let them throw, just

645
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: keep it simple or something else. Eight oh three five

646
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

647
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: five fifty. You're gonna get to some calls, read some tweets,

648
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: but well you already chimed in, right. You think it's

649
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: keeping it simple, keep it simple, stupid. I get it,

650
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: and I and I'm not disagreeing with you, but I

651
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit dangerous because you get predictable

652
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: when you're simple, right. I mean, I'm not saying basic.

653
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: You know first great simple, but know what you want

654
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: to do and go out there and do it. The

655
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: thing and I like the players that Bill's got, and

656
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: I've set on record and agree, and I still believe it.

657
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: They've got enough talent now to go go deep into

658
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And once you get into the playoffs and

659
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: all that, you can beat anybody, and all those teams

660
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: can be beaten, and they can beat any the other

661
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: teams in the tournament and just just depends on what

662
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: happens that day on the game. So I believe now

663
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: that the Bills have the talent to go and do

664
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: whatever they want. But here's the thing. People always come

665
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: up to me all the time and say, hey, that

666
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: no huddle you ran back in the ninetes with Jim Kelly.

667
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: Will listen. They had five Hall of Fame guys on

668
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: that offense running it. That's hard to beat, and they

669
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: were successful because they were very fan I don't mean

670
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: they just went no huddle. They went no huddle in

671
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: a big hurry. That Bill's team in the early nineties,

672
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: when it was at its best, was running an offensive

673
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: play every sixteen seconds of real time, not game time,

674
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: real time balls out of bounds, the clock stop. That

675
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: doesn't mean the next sixteen seconds of game time they

676
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 1: ran a play. They ran a play as soon as

677
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: the ball was spotted. They were hurry up, no huddle,

678
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: fast paced, and it was one of the keys that worked,

679
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of reasons for it. But

680
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: they ran a very small, limited menu of plays that

681
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: really doesn't work in today's NFL because defenses are so

682
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: well schooled and the league has evolved so much so

683
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: as to be able to run a sophisticated menu of

684
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: defensive calls even in a fast paced setting, so you

685
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: don't get the same defense over and over and over again.

686
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons it was successful for

687
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. You got that same defense over and

688
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: over and over, and we had enough place to get

689
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: a matchup that you liked, and it was tough. It

690
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: was tough. And so now, certainly the five Hall of

691
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: Fame guys they had on the field with Thurman, Andre James, Lofton,

692
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly in that thing, and then you add there's

693
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: four and then I would put at any given time

694
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: one or two or the offensive lineman that we had

695
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: playing at the time. Kent Hole, most notably being a

696
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame caliber player, helped that thing run. So

697
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: they got away with some things back then that just

698
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: don't fly now like they would then. So that's why, Yeah,

699
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: the game is different. So you can I know people

700
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: in a nostalgic sense would love to see that again,

701
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: and wouldn't we all, But the games evolved away from

702
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: your ability to run it the way they rant it

703
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: back then. So I'm just saying that out there in

704
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: front of all the fans who are going to chime

705
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: in and say, yeah, all that, all the nostalgia that

706
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: we have for that team, it's a different league. Now,

707
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: what's the biggest factor for the Bills to continue to

708
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: have success offensively the way they did in Miami calls.

709
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: Now let's go to h Bernie. Is it Bernie in Connecticut?

710
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: I Bernie, Hey, what's going on at John Howard? Steve good?

711
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Doing good? Thank you? Awesome? Hey? You know chiming in

712
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: with you guys. What do I think I can keep

713
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: us successful? I think staying to our you know, how

714
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: we're finding out our identity who we are, which is

715
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: still you know, and every week, like you say, John,

716
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: week to week, right, I believe that keeping things simple

717
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: like you guys have been talking about. You know, I'm

718
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of beating the same drum here, but it's finding

719
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: out you know, that run game, that defense is going

720
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: to keep us in many games. I believe, But do

721
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: I still you know, I'm the most optimistic Buffalo Bills

722
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: fan hearing. I believe this Eastern region. But also I'm

723
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: a realist and I think that we're still like a

724
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: piece or so away, but not saying that we can't win.

725
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: I've seen teams win the Super Bowl with a whole

726
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: lot less What peace, Bernie, what teams? What peace are

727
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: they missing? Or pieces are they missing? I think a

728
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: really good edge Rusher. I'm not saying that we don't

729
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: have it. I'm not saying that. You know, y'all Borough,

730
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: who's over at the practice squad, He's not working hard.

731
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: This team's working. I just believe that we're just that

732
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: dominant player from the edge, rushing a huge, had a

733
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: great game. You know Murphy's coming. You know Murphy's coming.

734
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: I love who we have and this is the twenty

735
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: nineteen Bills. I get it, But you know, I am optimistic.

736
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: I think this team can do it too. I know

737
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: I'm kind of talking the side of my face, but

738
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it God Bills. Yeah, there's

739
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: no question, Bernie. Yeah, and I get it too. Let's

740
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: face it, the offense would be better if you had

741
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: a Julio Jones on it. The offense would better if

742
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: you had a DeAndre Hopkins on it. The defense would

743
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: be better if you had Khalil Mack on it or

744
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: a young Bruce Smith on it. You know, all great

745
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: players certainly are difference makers. But here's the way the

746
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: league structure. You don't get to just pick those guys up,

747
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: and you don't and certain teams wouldn't make guys like

748
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: that available unless you traded you know, everything for him,

749
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: and you've got to, you know, build your team the

750
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: best way you can with the asset you have have

751
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: knowing that the ass that you have are valuable in

752
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 1: their own right, and you don't want to trade away

753
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: everything for you mortgage your future for the next five

754
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: or six or seven or ten years just for one

755
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: shot at a guy who will come in for four

756
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: weeks and help you get to the end of the season,

757
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: maybe hand you a playoff run. There's no guarantees that

758
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna win the Super Bowl. Even if Khalil Mack

759
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: became a free agent signed here for a thousand dollars

760
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 1: a week. You know, even that is not a guarantee

761
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: that you would win the rest of your games. There's

762
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: too many things out of your control. But yeah, I

763
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: get you. Great players make you better. If you had

764
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 1: a couple of great players on this squad, you'd be better.

765
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: But there's still no guarantee that you're gonna do it.

766
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: We've seen other teams try and buy super Bowls. It

767
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: just doesn't work that way. There is something to be

768
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: said for the team atmosphere and culture that these teams

769
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: have that makes them special. They've certainly tried to build

770
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: that here in Buffalo. But you're gonna have to get

771
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: your arms around this team the way it's constructed now.

772
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, every team would be better, you know, just

773
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: about every team would be better if Khalil Mack were

774
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: plugged into their edge rushing package. Every team would be

775
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: better if you had a Julio Jones plugged into him.

776
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: But he's not the difference in Atlanta. Julio Jones is not.

777
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack's certainly making some difference, but he's not putting

778
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: the Bears over the top. I mean, there's the pieces

779
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: you have, is what you got, and how well those

780
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: pieces play for this team this week is what you

781
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: have to work with and cheer four or against. So yeah,

782
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: you can, you can complain that we don't have this

783
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: piece or that piece, but it's not gonna get you anywhere.

784
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: Bernie made an interesting point, and I think I want

785
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: people to know this about this twenty nineteen Bills team.

786
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: And sure, great pass rushers mean a lot. Did you

787
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: know though, that the Bills are seventh in sack percentage

788
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL seventh top ten. They had seven against Miami.

789
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: That obviously goes into it, but they are a top

790
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: ten pass rushing team in the NFL in terms of

791
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: percentage of sex. And this is important too. Ian Brown.

792
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: Bills insider Chris Brown wrote about this today. He previewed

793
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: it on the show yesterday. The Bills seven sacks against

794
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins the best of the season. Obviously, six different

795
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: defensive lineman had sacks in the game against Miami. Linebackers

796
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds Matt Malone got the seven secs. So Now,

797
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: on the season so far with six games ago, Bills

798
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: have now fifteen players on the roster, fifteen players with

799
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: at least one sack. That leads the NFL. Kansas City,

800
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee with thirteen, and Washington his twelve Bills lead the league.

801
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: Fifteen different players have a sack. Would you like to

802
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 1: have a premier pass rush guy, you know, Khalil Mack,

803
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: Sure you would, But they're getting it done with everybody.

804
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: Fifteen different players have a sack for the Bills, and

805
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: their top ten in the league in sacks. That I

806
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: just look, I'm not proving you wrong or anything, Bernie,

807
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: but I think people should know that they're not doing

808
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: a bad job of rushing the passer. Obviously, Sunday against

809
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: Miami was a big factor in that did you know that.

810
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: Did you see Brownie's article. It's really good. It is good.

811
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: And you know they've also since Week five they've got

812
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: second fewest they've got the fewest turnovers in the NFL

813
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: since Week five, So in the last you know, last

814
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: five games, they haven't been turning it over. And you

815
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: put that with a pretty good pass rush or an

816
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: effective pass rush spread out over the roster a defense.

817
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: That really the one thing that you think about this defense.

818
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of getting an inkling and not looking

819
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: at some other defensive numbers from other teams, like the

820
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Teams aren't really sweating the running attack of

821
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: these other teams. There seems to be a trend in

822
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I'm just I'm just saying it's an observation.

823
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's real. I'm certainly every team

824
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: wants to suffocate the run, but they just seem to

825
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, if you're gonna run it

826
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: on first down and we can hold you to three yards, yeah,

827
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, you know, because we know sooner or later

828
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to drop back and throw into coverage.

829
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: It just seems like there's some teams out there that

830
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: are really high in past defense and not too good

831
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: in the run defense, or one of them, right the

832
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: Denver's one of them. The team we're playing against this

833
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: fourth overall in the league, certainly want to be good

834
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: in both things. But I think there's an inkling out

835
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: there that's like, sooner or later, we know you're gonna

836
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: have to run it, you're gonna have to throw it,

837
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: and we're gonna wait until you feel like you have to.

838
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: You know. I don't know if that's true or not,

839
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: but it certainly seems to be the characteristic of some

840
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: of these teams that you're looking at. The play pretty

841
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: good defense, Buffalo offense. What's the biggest factor for them

842
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: to sustain what they showed in the game at Miami.

843
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: Charlie on the line in Buffalo. Hello, Charlie, go ahead,

844
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: you're on the air. I go in the afternoon. Guys,

845
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: how are you doing okay? Doing good? My thing is,

846
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, watching Josh Ellen. He's still a young quarterback

847
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: and he's progressing very well. What I like about the

848
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: offensive guys is that they're all starting to play together

849
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: now like our defenses, and you never know what can happen.

850
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: My opinion is, I think they need to win ten

851
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: games to be in the playoffs. And that's why I

852
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: think we are. We can win three out of the

853
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: last six games, I think we got a good chance

854
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: of being in the playoffs. And that's all. I got

855
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: to see guys and have a good day. Yeah, Charlie,

856
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: if they're win ten games, they're in. They're not going

857
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: to get shut out this year. If they win ten games,

858
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: So you're right, if they get in, it's like a

859
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: ninety four percent chance by some by the what is

860
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: it the playoff tracker, there's a ninety plus percent chance

861
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: that they're gonna get in they win ten games. You're right.

862
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: If they go three and three over the last six,

863
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna get into the playoffs, no question about it

864
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Now, there's a chance they could get

865
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: shut out. We've seen teams eleven and five get shut

866
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs once in a while, once in

867
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: every one maybe decade. But if they win ten games, yeah,

868
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna get in. I'm sure they'll get in. You

869
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: got a break here. Coming back with more and more

870
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: discussion on the Buffalo offense and what's the best thing

871
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: they can do to kind of continue this success they

872
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: had against Miami. Come on back for that one. Bill's Live,

873
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: coming to you from the Seneca Studio in Archer Park.

874
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio Time. Enough for Reichs Milestones,

875
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: presented by Reichs Jewelers, the official jeweler of the Buffalo Bills.

876
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: John Brown nine catches one or the thirty seven yards

877
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: to touchdowns against the Dolphins is tenth consecutive fifty yard

878
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 1: or more performance. That's a new team record. He also

879
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: brought his season catch total to fifty three, making him

880
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: the fastest Buffalo Bill to get the fifty catches and

881
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: Stevie Johnson did it in two and ten. He did

882
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: it in ten games as well. John Brown on pace

883
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: for a ninety catch season for the Bills only only

884
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 1: happened four other times in franchise history. He's good. Yeah,

885
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: he's having a good year, and it's I think I

886
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: think it's gonna get better. I think more and more

887
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be, you know, consistently dependable. I think Josh

888
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: Allen sees it. I think they're learning more about each other.

889
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: I think game action has really helped these two get

890
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: better week by week and a certainly game plan takes

891
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: Josh's eyes away from John Brown a certain things in

892
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: certain keys and stuff. But I think it's on and

893
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: situations where you know where it's clutch. I think John

894
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: Brown's the guy. I think Josh is finally, you know

895
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: what I mean. I just think I think he's rising

896
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: to the top of Josh's consciousness. You know, yep. If

897
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: I can just try and play you know, Sigmund Freud

898
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: or something, whatever you want to do. But you know

899
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: some psychologists, I think the more they play together, the

900
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: better it's gonna get. Just like everybody. But I think

901
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: biggest factor in the Bills continuing their offensive success they

902
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: demonstrated against Miami on the line is Bill in Neshville.

903
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: Hello Bill, Welcome to the show. Hey guys, thank you.

904
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,959
Speaker 1: Steve big fan. I wear my tasker jersey probably every week.

905
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: Very nice. It's real quick. I went with a up

906
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: temple offense. I think Josh is comfortablettle bit and to

907
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: keep the defense on that on their heels. But one

908
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to go off my chest was I

909
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: feel little I get aggravated. List to a lot of

910
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: Bills fans. I know you guys, probably do too on

911
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: your phone calls. It's just people will get all you know,

912
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: the weird out or you know, you get upset and

913
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: there's seven three. They play easy teams and all that stuff.

914
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: They should be blessed. San Francis a skull farding and uh,

915
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: Patriots had any use schedule so far. You don't hear

916
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: their fan based complaining or the team complaining. So we

917
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: have nine news starters on offense, A second year quarterback

918
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 1: that was a raw no prospect coming out of college

919
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 1: who were seven and three should be blessed because each

920
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: point that they have they get closer together, a bigger bond,

921
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: you know, a brother you know, a brother ship. So

922
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: that's me good into playoffs and only the next season.

923
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: Guess what, DFC West and NFC and Weston would be

924
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: pretty tough. And I'm willing to bet that next year

925
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: some Bills fans would be wishing they had this year's Yeah, yeah,

926
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Thanks for the call. Bill. You're right.

927
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: You go year to year and it's easy to sit

928
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: back and say, um, you know this because you project

929
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: last year onto this year, and now this year turns

930
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: into what it is. Um, you know this schedule where

931
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: the Bills are playing the NFC East UM and the

932
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: AFC South and and some of the AFC North as well.

933
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they played the the the the time, but

934
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: they're also playing the NFC North on a year when

935
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers are down and the Cincinnati Bengals are

936
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: what they are. I mean, that's um. You take what

937
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: you get year to year. You don't set the schedule

938
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: of ther sales. It's all set out before you, and

939
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: it's take away. If you get an easy get a

940
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: year like this, if you call it easy, take it.

941
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely beat these teams I mean that. And it's a

942
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: week to week league anyway. I mean Miami had a

943
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: two game winning streak which didn't look like it was

944
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: even possible four weeks ago, and here they are. So

945
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: we'll see. I agree with you. Just take this year

946
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: like any other. It's a it's a year in and

947
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: of itself. This team will be much different. It'll have

948
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different players on it. Next year, it'll

949
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: it'll look different, they'll play differently. We'll see. We'll see. Uh,

950
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm with you. Sometimes the fans are I

951
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: think that schedule kind of makes fans wring their hands

952
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: a little bit because they don't know how good this

953
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: team is because they haven't played anybody that really tests them,

954
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 1: and when they did, it hasn't been you know, hasn't

955
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: gone well. Just have fun, Relax, enjoy These are the

00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: don't don't worry about it. Yeah, don't worry about enjoy it.

959
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: Enjoy it. All right. We'll continue with this discussion next hour.

960
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: What's the biggest factor for the Bills to sustain the

961
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: kind of offensive success they had against Miami? What do

962
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,359

1003
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,359

00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: and screaming at the door as he goes out the door.

Speaker 1: You can see that, of course I do. I can

1024
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: picture right now and I feel on a victory Tuesday

1025
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: about the Bills like Steve does about the Sabers. Let's

1026
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: go tell you, guys, I had this whole deal Good

1027
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: Morning Football, where my three castmates are highly skeptical of

1028
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Buffalo Bills, and frankly, the last couple

1029
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: of weeks it was a little rough. So I got

1030
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 1: to come in this week and say it once again,

1031
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to the playoffs. Everybody relaxed, and

1032
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: it feels good. You know. Um, it was a week

1033
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: ago when you talked about the Bills with us and

1034
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: you talked about Josh Allen and you were saying, I'm

1035
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: looking for Josh Allen to be a dog to jump

1036
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,959
Speaker 1: up and take command of a game. Did you see

1037
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: that and the win over Miami two days ago? Yeah?

1038
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: I did. I mean he bites a little bit. There's

1039
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: a long way to go, for sure, because there's some

1040
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: there's some really really scary dogs in the AFC right now,

1041
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: especially one who plays for Baltimore, one who plays for

1042
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: New England. But listen, I think the takeaway after this

1043
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: week for Buffalo was Yeah, but it was Miami who cares.

1044
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: That's a division opponents, That's a team that played them

1045
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: tough the first time around. And sometimes you gotta just

1046
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: have a sparring partner that you can just land some

1047
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: haymakers on. I listen, start to finish, I thought it

1048
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: was Josh Allen's best game of his career. It wasn't

1049
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: only that he was efficient and the numbers great. He

1050
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: just looked confident. He looked comfortable, And yes, Miami's D

1051
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: is terrible, but I don't care. That's exactly what you

1052
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: should do to a terrible D is absolutely light them up.

1053
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: It was my favorite game of visiness, my young favorite.

1054
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox scored, John Brown looked like more than just

1055
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: a deep threat. It was really really a good day.

1056
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: And yes they played a poor team, but they beat

1057
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: them by a lot, which is exactly what you should do.

1058
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: I thought Josh Allen, he bit he bites, and I

1059
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: love it. And that's the problem you have, right You

1060
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: see him do this too, and a team that's struggling

1061
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins, and you try and transpose that onto

1062
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: a game against you know, Baltimore, a game like that

1063
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 1: against New England, a game like that against the Kansas

1064
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: City Chiefs where they're a good team who beats up

1065
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: on inferior opponents. Well, where does that leave them in

1066
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,959
Speaker 1: the upper six teams in the conference that are vying

1067
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: for the playoffs? You know, where do they fall in that?

1068
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: And how far will they go. That's the real question. Correct,

1069
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: it's tricky, stee. They're never gonna shake that good record,

1070
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: average team label until they beat a really good team.

1071
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: It's it's just the fault of their schedule. We've talked

1072
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: about this. They don't have the quote unquote quality win

1073
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: they you know, they meet the Titans with Marcus Mariota,

1074
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: not even Tannehill. But the quality games are coming, I mean,

1075
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: and frankly, you know, Josh Allen, he did not play

1076
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: well against New England. That was a long time ago.

1077
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,280
Speaker 1: I guess to use the expression and bring it full circle.

1078
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: He's aging in dog Gears right now in a good way.

1079
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 1: It was early in the season. He's gotten a lot

1080
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: more experience since then and looks much more beatable. Then.

1081
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: We can talk all day about what he did in

1082
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: as Miami. Fact is, Baltimore is coming on the schedule.

1083
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: New England's coming on the schedule, and not to mention,

1084
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: Denver's coming on the schedule, which they need if they

1085
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: want to set themselves up right. So I feel like

1086
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: you guys and I've been talking for three months and

1087
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: it's always we're very encouraged by Josh and we're pulling

1088
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: for Josh, but there's still things to prove, and they

1089
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: have the games on the schedule to prove it. So

1090
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: it's a buckle up month for the Bills. Hey, Kyle,

1091
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: here's a Josh Allen question for you. Yeah, he ran

1092
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: for a touchdown the other day. He had a couple

1093
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: of nice runs. I look, I think he's twenty three

1094
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: years old. He's a big, strong guy. Right now, I

1095
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: think his running is important for this Bills team and

1096
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: important for him to kind of develop his brand, develop

1097
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: his method of attack. I know there's a risk of

1098
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: injury when you run that much as a quarterback, but

1099
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: for right now, I think that's perfect. That's exactly what

1100
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: the Bills need. Am I wrong about that? What do

1101
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: you think? Well? It really works, doesn't it. I mean,

1102
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: he's really good at it, and it's I always go

1103
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: back to when when Michael Vick was on his ascension

1104
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: early years with the Falcons and he was taking over

1105
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: the league, and immediately there was this other people, this

1106
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: crowd of people that say, hold on, don't run, don't run.

1107
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: I'll never forget John Madden being like, what do you

1108
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: mean he shouldn't run? He's Michael Vick he was put

1109
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,919
Speaker 1: on this world to run. I still think Josh Allen

1110
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: doesn't do it out of desperation. He doesn't do it

1111
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: as recklessly as he did when he came into the league.

1112
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: And the proof is in the pudding. Every time I

1113
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: look up, he's scoring a touchdown. For anybody around the

1114
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 1: country or in the area who watches Red Zone Channel

1115
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: every single time they go to the Bills game, it

1116
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: feels like Josh Allen is rushing for a touchdown. So sure,

1117
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: be careful, be smart, But somebody is crazy if they

1118
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: say don't run as much. He's great at it. Yeah,

1119
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: And it kind of reminds me and people say the

1120
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: Mike Vick thing a lot. It's more along the lines

1121
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: of a Cam Newton type of attack, if you can differentiate.

1122
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Cam Newton was a big, strong guy. Now

1123
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 1: you know he's just looking at the statistics today, Josh

1124
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: Allen is tied for the lead league in third and

1125
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: one conversions. The guy's like the best short yardage back

1126
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: in the league. And that's exactly what I used to

1127
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: say about Cam Newton. Is that a template more so

1128
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: that you'd look at rather than maybe a Lamar Jackson

1129
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: or Michael Vick template. Yeah, it's I think body type

1130
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: for sure, Steve, and I think when it comes to

1131
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: his decision making, let's be honest, like I don't think

1132
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: last week aside. It is the most robust offensive lineup

1133
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: where Josh John's gonna sit back there and distribute to

1134
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: this all pro and they hand it to this pro

1135
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: bowler like a lot of times he says, look, everybody's covered,

1136
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: I'm huge and I can run. I'm gonna get out

1137
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: of here. This is not a Pat Mahomes who has

1138
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: three track stars as wide receivers or somebody who's more

1139
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: well set up like that. Maybe down the road next

1140
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: couple of years they fill out the roster a little more,

1141
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: But I feel like right now Josh Awnen's doing it,

1142
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: fighting for his life. And sure, you know, Cam took

1143
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: a lot of hits, just like Shaquille O'Neill took a

1144
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: lot of hard fouls. But we'll get that turnaround, jumper

1145
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: working for Josh Allen, you get a couple more years,

1146
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: we'll be all right. So as the league's taking shape,

1147
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: we're deep. You're getting into the second half of the season,

1148
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: deep into it. What do you think of the Monday

1149
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: Night game last night in Mexico City, and there's a

1150
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: lot of layers to that. Onion. This field was a

1151
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: question about this question mark. Philip Rivers showed up and

1152
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: looked eighty two, not just you know, thirty seven. I

1153
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: was surprised by that and the fact that he threw

1154
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: four interceptions and they couldn't win, and they still had

1155
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: a chance to win that game. What are we looking

1156
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: at now with the Chargers and the Chiefs. It was

1157
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: weird because the Chargers got the Chiefs on a great night,

1158
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: and I don't mean the atmosphere or the foreign country

1159
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: or the soil. They got him on a night myhomes

1160
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: didn't do much and Tyree Hill goes out of the

1161
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: game in the first five minutes like that. The Chiefs

1162
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: were wounded. You go get him on that night and listen.

1163
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 1: I know, Philip Rivers is your proverbial gunslinger. He always

1164
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: has been. He's gonna go through a terrible month and

1165
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: then he's gonna look like a Hall of Famer in

1166
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: the next month. If you watch that game to the

1167
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: end of the night. Who knows so many people on

1168
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: the East Coast did His final interception was terrible. I

1169
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: mean he sat there in the red zone. They had

1170
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: every opportunity to win it, and he sort of lobs

1171
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: it to Austin Eckler, the shortest guy in his huddle.

1172
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: It was an easy interception. It was it was like

1173
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: something you would see a rookie do. And you know

1174
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: he Philip throws himself in the ground and kicks and

1175
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: screams and mugs and everything. That's kind of why he's

1176
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: really watchable. But he was bad blast night, guys, and

1177
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 1: it's there's a lot of people this morning shoveling dirt

1178
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: on them and saying they got a drafted quarterback. Immediately.

1179
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Phil Rivers. You know that with

1180
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: a second that happens over the next three weeks, he's

1181
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna catch fire. He's gonna throw for nine touchdowns in

1182
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: the next three games, and they'll leave him like that.

1183
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: But I to have the Chiefs right there ready to

1184
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: take out and to blow It was really tough. Hey, um, Kyle,

1185
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: let me get you. I had two quick Bill's questions

1186
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: for you to get back to your first second. First

1187
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: of all, the tooth kind of under the radar things.

1188
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: A great game for John Brown this past Sunday. He

1189
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: is among the conference leaders now in receptions, he's on

1190
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: pace for ninety catches. I don't know if the NFL

1191
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: has caught onto the fact that John Brown is having

1192
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: like kind of a Pro Bowl caliber season? Am I

1193
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,479
Speaker 1: overstating that? What do you think? Well, Mark, I didn't

1194
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: even know those numbers. I didn't know. I think this

1195
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 1: has been a big season for him, especially a big month,

1196
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: because I think John Brown's reputation has been cool, nickname,

1197
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: cool celebrations, deep threat with respect to him, maybe sort

1198
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: of a poor manage to Son Jackson, big time home

1199
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: run hitter, run the nine round, catch the fifty yarder.

1200
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: But I feel like this year, if you're gonna get

1201
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: ninety catches, you're catching the five yard or you're catching

1202
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: the fifteen yarder. You know, one of the biggest takeaways

1203
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: from this weekend, Miami or not, is that it's he

1204
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: didn't look like a deep threat. He looked like your

1205
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: number one guy. And here's the thing the Bills season,

1206
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: as much as we talk about Josh Allen, we know

1207
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a time in late December or

1208
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: January where they're gonna need that third and nine. And

1209
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: let's say Josh does chuck it in there, somebody's gonna

1210
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: need to catch it, and number fifteen is the most

1211
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: likely guy. I want to start seeing him make big

1212
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: plays in the big, big games. It was nice to

1213
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: have a huge game against Miami, and I don't discredit it,

1214
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: but I want them to look that way against Baltimore, Dallas,

1215
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: New England again. It all comes back to the Bills.

1216
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: The next month is a gauntlet. It is who the

1217
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: hell are you and what do you think project that

1218
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: onto this game this week? What are the Bills looking

1219
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: at in this Denver team? I know they got jumped

1220
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: out to the huge lead in Minnesota and blew it,

1221
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: and it seems to be from the rhetoric coming out

1222
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: of Denver they've done this before. Were they've blown the

1223
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: big fourth quarter lead. What are the Bills looking at

1224
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos. It's a scary team. And you

1225
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: think about Denver, the record is terrible. If you watch

1226
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: Denver all year, they have no quit. Now. Granted, sure

1227
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: they blew the lead last week and everything, but they

1228
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: jumped out to the lead. They could have shown up

1229
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: to Minnesota and mailed that. In their seasons going nowhere,

1230
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: they fight every week. Vic Fangio will have them playing

1231
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: defense every single week they compete and it's like this

1232
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: is you know, to use the cliche if I was McDermott,

1233
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: it's a classic trap game because the dogs are coming

1234
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: down the road and all we just got to take

1235
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: care of business against some no name quarterback we've never

1236
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:50,919
Speaker 1: heard of on our home field from a losing team

1237
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: in the Broncos is a terrible, terrible mentality, like they've

1238
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: snuck up with some people this week. So as much

1239
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: as I love talking Baltimore and Dallas, do not sleep

1240
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: for a second Denver because how frustrating would it be

1241
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: if you have a setback against Denver before you got

1242
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: to run the juggernaut. If you're really tough, they got

1243
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: to take care of business. Kind of got another under

1244
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: the radar. Bill's question for you. On the defensive side

1245
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: of the ball, I think people might be you know,

1246
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: we've talked about in the first hour here the Bills

1247
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: now with the seven sacks against Miami. I know it

1248
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: was Miami, but they are top ten in the league

1249
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: in sacks now, they're seventh row and they have fifteen

1250
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: different defenders have come up with sacks this year. They

1251
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: lead the NFL on that department. I don't know if Look,

1252
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: we've talked about the Buffalo defense how good they've been,

1253
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: and always kind of say, well, they got to rush

1254
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: the passer more. They're doing that, and they're getting it

1255
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: done by a big cast of characters there. Yeah, and

1256
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm listening. It doesn't surprise me. It sounds like a

1257
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: McDermott team, and it reminds me of his old Panthers

1258
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: team that he used to coach. The sacks are great,

1259
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: and you know, whether it's Fitzpatrick or whoever they're going against,

1260
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: it's fine, you know me and my concern always comes

1261
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: back to stopping the running game. It's still I feel

1262
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: like this team has scars for what happens to them

1263
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: in games like the Cleveland game and games like the

1264
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: phil Aladelphia game. And you know they're gonna play Baltimore

1265
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: and Baltimore is going to run right at you over

1266
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: and over and over. Never mind, Lamar, I'm talking about

1267
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: mark Ingram up the middle. I'm talking about even Philip

1268
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: lindsay this weekend, that's never it's you know, the sack

1269
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,959
Speaker 1: things are nice, but if it was a fight, those

1270
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,479
Speaker 1: are the big body blows. Those are the big overhand rights.

1271
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about when the gos to the ground MMA style.

1272
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: Do they have that game? Because I've seen them get

1273
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: gashed this year. That's always my fear for this defense.

1274
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: It's not the sacks, it's the run. Dude, you are

1275
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: discounting the winner in Miami. I get it, but you

1276
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: surely are right. I'm talking about it both sides of

1277
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: my mom by saying who cares? And now I'm just

1278
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: crediting from Miami. But Miami is pretty bad. I guess

1279
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: I circle build. You're sitting here now. They gotta go

1280
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: what for sure? They gotta go three and three over

1281
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 1: the last six games of the season. It get to

1282
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: ten wins. That puts someone gives them a ninety four

1283
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: percent chance to get into the get into the playoffs.

1284
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: So you go down and you look, if you look

1285
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 1: at if you're gonna look at look at Thanksgiving. They're

1286
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: gonna go into Dallas. Dallas overall their history has a

1287
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: losing record on Thanksgiving Day games, which is surprising to me.

1288
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: But that all of a sudden, with their the dolf,

1289
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: with the cowboy defense playing like it is, that may

1290
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: be a time where the Bills do kind of bust

1291
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: out a little bit and all of a sudden to

1292
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a showcase game, it'd be fantastic.

1293
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting. It's what's referred to these

1294
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: days as a dueling Spider Man game. Because also the

1295
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys get the same rap that the Bills do. They

1296
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: got they haven't been anybody, They don't have any signature wins.

1297
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 1: This is this Cowboys team lost to the Jets badly.

1298
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: The Cowboys team beat up the bad teams and lost

1299
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: to the good teams, and which a lot of people

1300
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: say that about the Bills's interesting now, But Dallas, I'm

1301
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: that Thanksgiving Day. You know, if if they go and

1302
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: they flipped the table the Bills do and they stop

1303
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Ezekiel and they stopped Dak, that's it, Steve. I mean,

1304
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the that's gonna be the American Holiday

1305
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: for the Bills. They need that one because no one

1306
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: else has watched and otherwise, trust me, I'm on the

1307
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: Football Show every single day, and I don't think the

1308
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: other three hosts has seen one snap of Bills football

1309
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: all season. I'm throwing him out there, Peter Kane. They

1310
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't think they've watched the Bills since you were

1311
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: playing Steve. I don't even off k was a live fan, respectfully,

1312
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: but I've watched the Bills this year and no watch

1313
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: him on Thanksgiving. That's right, Kyle Brand our guest. He

1314
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: is co host of the NFL Network's Good Morning Football

1315
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: show Around the League a little bit, if we can, Kyle,

1316
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: you're Bears him. I know you're a Bears fan. I

1317
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: don't know what went down with Trubisky the other day,

1318
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: and it was a pretty It was a weird site

1319
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: to see him and his coach Agy locked in an

1320
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: embrace on the sideline. Did they move forward with Trubisky

1321
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: as he really hurt? What do you make of all

1322
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: that drama up there in Chicago? It was so strange.

1323
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: And you know what, Murphy whatever, it takes attention away

1324
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: from the kicker. You know, it's almost like they're saying, no,

1325
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: you talk about the kicker, you talk about the quarterback.

1326
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: So you know, it was very popular on Twitter the

1327
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: second the game was over to say that it was

1328
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: a quote unquote hip injury and that Naggy pulled Trubisky,

1329
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: which I actually think is nonsense because if you were

1330
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: going to pull him, you wouldn't do it with three

1331
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: minutes left down two scores to go to Chase Daniel.

1332
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: I think he was actually hurt. The whole thing is

1333
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 1: just a disaster. I mean it's it's you gotta understand

1334
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: someone from Buffalo could get this. Bears fans live in

1335
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: the twenty thirty years ago passed off and this was

1336
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: the thirty four year season in the making since the

1337
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: eighty five Bears that they were gonna win at all,

1338
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: and it's just been absolutely brutal. And everyone says, move

1339
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: on from Tribisky. There is nowhere to go. They're in

1340
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: an arranged marriage. There's no tree up, there's no nothing.

1341
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: There's no young guy in the bench, there's no draft

1342
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: pick to take a new guy. Short of doing some

1343
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: sort of outlandish trade for a big name quarterback or

1344
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: an underwhelming one like Mariota, it sounds great, move on

1345
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: from Dribhisky. There's nowhere to move You cannot turn the

1346
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: page when there's only one page in the book. If

1347
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: you hear my frustration, I did the Chicago dad of

1348
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: coming out refresh my memory. Kyle who in the Bears

1349
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: organization decided to move up and get Tribisky in the

1350
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: draft a couple of years ago. No, well it was

1351
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: it was the general manager Ryan Pace and if only Murph,

1352
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: there were some other good quarterbacks in that draft that

1353
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: he could have chosen. But I think time has shown

1354
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: that only guys like the Shawn Watson and the Homes

1355
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: were available. I don't know where those guys are. You

1356
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: are first, I know, and I think I can tell

1357
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,439
Speaker 1: you enjoy it. What's every every team listen, every team

1358
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: can every team can feel your pain because everybody's done it.

1359
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: You know, blown it there blown their draft pick on

1360
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: a guy who didn't work out. The Bills have done

1361
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: it in the past fifteen years. They and it's just

1362
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: we're also familiar with it. We all have high hopes.

1363
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: What about what about a guy the rumors and I

1364
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: know you've probably talked about this at length, either on

1365
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: or off the program. Cam Newton is gonna be available?

1366
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Guys like that, like like the like the Nick Foles,

1367
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins, the Case Keenoms, all these quarters. I've

1368
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 1: never seen so many quarterbacks fly around the league like

1369
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: we have in the past handful of years. Is that

1370
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: that is that gonna happen in Chicago? I think maybe

1371
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: it's it depends, you know. I mean, we've everything from

1372
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: the Bearshon trade for Cam to the bear Shon signed

1373
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Kaepernick and all sorts of nonsense. Here's the thing, And

1374
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: if anybody watching, I'm just gonna walk over to my

1375
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: charger because I'm enjoying this conversation so much i don't

1376
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: want the battery. Okay, Oh all right, So yeah, because

1377
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: I think that that plot just thickened, everybody was saying, oh, well,

1378
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, Kyle Allen, Kyle A he's the next guy.

1379
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna they're gonna get rid of Cam. Kyle Allen

1380
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: just went out and absolutely messed up the field the

1381
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: other day. And now it's all of a sudden, well,

1382
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 1: maybe we keep Cam Newton. Maybe Kyle Allen was just

1383
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: this new thing, this flavor of the week. So I

1384
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: don't even know if the Panthers are gonna get rid

1385
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: of Cam. They've had him on the shelf now for weeks.

1386
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: Cam might be finally finally healthy to start this season.

1387
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: So it's it's absolute, absolute purgatory. And for the barriage,

1388
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: there are no good answers. I wish they had a

1389
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen yet, just a minute or two left with

1390
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Brent before his battery goes down. You're you're the kitchen.

1391
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: Can you make it this a sandwich while you're there

1392
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: or something? Yeah? Sure, you want Hammond cheese more? If

1393
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,959
Speaker 1: I got you, I'll put butter on the bread for you. Great,

1394
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: No one more thing. And it's about the show coming

1395
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: up Friday and the NFL Network, the NFL one hundred.

1396
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: It starts Friday with the show about the running backs Buffalos.

1397
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas one of the twenty four finalists for the

1398
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: twelve running backs who will be the NFL All time

1399
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: one hundred team twelve running Backs, Thurman, I have a

1400
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: chance there. That's an awfully great group of running backs there, obviously. Oh,

1401
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. This is my comic con. Those guys are

1402
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: my iron Man and my four Thurmans. There. Oj is there.

1403
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: And you know, we had a question this morning at

1404
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,919
Speaker 1: the table I thought was fun. We said that right now,

1405
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: if you had to start a franchise, as that old question,

1406
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: which one of these running backs would you pick? Nay

1407
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: Burlison shows Barry Sanders because he's a Detroit Homer. I

1408
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,919
Speaker 1: think Peter told chose Earl Campbell and like I chose

1409
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: him at Smith rather I hyped him at Smith, and

1410
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: I chose Walter Payton just because he's the greatest I've

1411
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: ever seen. I'll say this about about our guy, the Thurman.

1412
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to imagine him now, not like when you

1413
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: were playing with him, Steve, when you guys were really

1414
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: almost like revolutionaries. But I'm trying to imagine him now

1415
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: in the constant RPO, wide open, split out, the running

1416
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: back in the slot. Put him here. I feel like

1417
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Thurman would absolutely eat teams alive. So I don't know

1418
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: if he has if he's going to get in the

1419
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: final twelve. And I'm a network employee, but I don't

1420
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: know the list. He's up against tough competition. There's guys

1421
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: even his contemporaries, people like Marshall, fall for someone like

1422
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: lt who did a lot of the things Thurman did.

1423
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think he is one of the

1424
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: twelve best ever if you're talking top twelve. But I

1425
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: don't make the list. Yeah, I agree with you. It's

1426
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,919
Speaker 1: a really tough list to pare down. We've all seen

1427
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: all the guys on that list, well, except for the

1428
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: guys like Hugh mcelhaney, and Red Grange, and you know

1429
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: there's some ale timers that are always sprinkled in there.

1430
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: But I do think it depends on what criteria are

1431
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: you using. Adrian Peterson is a much different football player

1432
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: than Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders is much different than

1433
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: Jim Brown. So it's it's kind of how you project

1434
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: your team to look like and what why? You know,

1435
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: what offense are we gonna be running? Right? So are

1436
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: we gonna be the wing tea or what? I don't know.

1437
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: It's it's the ultimate argument. It's like, okay, so how

1438
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: would Jim Brown be running behind Larry Allen and Nate Newton? Right? Conversely,

1439
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: what kind of production would the Ladanian Thomlinson have if

1440
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 1: he had to have a second job where he worked

1441
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: in a call mine and then he played in games

1442
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: at night like some of those guys that one hundred

1443
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: years ago. Right, So I don't know. But the program

1444
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: is perfect. And then they'll do quarterbacks and they're gonna

1445
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: do coaches. So like, if you just live and breathe

1446
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: football and you want to sit around and have some

1447
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 1: beer knots and talk about it is so perfect for us.

1448
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 1: I could talk an hour with you guys alone. Yeah,

1449
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: it sounds like a great show that Friday night, eight pm,

1450
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: NFL Network. The NFL one hundred All Time Team the

1451
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: running Backs is Friday. Thurman's a finalist and Kyle, great

1452
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Thank you, we'll talk again. We

1453
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: had fun today. I think we had fun, didn't we? Yeah,

1454
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: we always have fun, except when we talked Bears, ghost Sabers.

1455
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,719
Speaker 1: Thanks Kyle, Kyle Brandt, NFL Network, most of Good Morning

1456
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Football every morning and Film Network. Yeah. You know when

1457
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: he gets talking about that show Friday night, Um, now

1458
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: you start to get excited because he's right there. Look,

1459
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: there's a million arguments, right. I don't know what you

1460
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: do with Hugh mackelhenney, what you do with Red Grange,

1461
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: Marion Motley. Never saw these guys play, but clearly they

1462
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 1: are held in high esteem. And you cannot ignore that

1463
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 1: if you're putting together the all time one hundred, one

1464
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: hundred year all time team, you can't ignore what those

1465
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,839
Speaker 1: guys did back in the forties and the fifties and

1466
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: in Red Grange's case, the thirties. And you can't say,

1467
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,839
Speaker 1: and it's hard to even you get in these arguments like, well,

1468
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: how would they have done now or well, how do

1469
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: these guys go back there? How do you know? I mean,

1470
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: there's and it's wrong to say that just because they

1471
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: were in a different era that they weren't as good.

1472
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to put him into context. Broncho Nagurski, I mean,

1473
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: how do you know Jim Taylor? I never saw Jim

1474
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Taylor play. I never heard Steve van Buren for the Illegals.

1475
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: Guy heard of those guys here. I've never heard of

1476
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: Earl dutch Clark right for the Portsmith Spartans, the Detroit

1477
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: Lions and the thirties. Never heard of him, right, and

1478
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: he's one of the twenty four nin conies for a time.

1479
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: And I will say this, the Lion's share of this

1480
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: NFL all time finalist in running back position were guys

1481
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: that were in kind of my lifetime. Marcus Allen's Roome bettis,

1482
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:18,640
Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson, Yeah it is. I'm I'm a

1483
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: fifty plus right, Marshall falk Of, Frank o'harris. You know,

1484
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: then you go to Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Gail Sayers, Juice,

01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: Emmett Smith, Thurman, Ladanian, Thomasinson. All you know, that's Those

Speaker 1: you know Steve Van Buren, Lenny Moore, Hugh mcelhaney, Red Grange.

1488
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: For goodness sake, you know, Jim Brown was before my time.

1489
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 1: Marion Motley was before Bronco Nagurski. I know these guys,

1490
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure, and they were. Here's the thing. You don't

1491
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: remember any Jim Brown, No I do. No. I was

1498
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: when he left, it was stunning. And I heard one

1499
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: of his friends tell me the conversation that Jim Brown

1500
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,320

Speaker 1: I gotta you know. Football season starting. I need to

1506
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,679
Speaker 1: kind of get out of here and go to training

1507
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 1: camp and all that. And they said, well, well, wait,

1508
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: we gotta finish this movie. What are you doing? He goes,

1509
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: I gotta you know, I gotta leave it. What are

1510
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: they paying you to go back and play? And he goes, well,

1511
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm making like fifty grand a year. They go, we'll

1512
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: give you one hundred and fifty thousand just to stay here.

1513
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,759
Speaker 1: He says, you know what, I'm going to retire from football, Lee, Marvin.

1514
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: You ever see that movie Dirty Does All? Yeah, it's

1515
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 1: a great couple of times. Yeah, it is a great movie. Hey,

1516
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: thanks again to Kyle Brandt. Always great talking. When we

1517
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: got a big show still to come. Luke Tasker is

1518
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: going to join us a little bit later on today.

1519
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna check in with the Bills. Thanksgiving blitz going

1520
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: on today. Matty glam will join us from there. And

1521
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 1: what else we got, Oh the Twitter pole. We want

1522
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: to get back to this. Buffalo's offense had a great

1523
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: day against Miami. Yes we know, and Kyle reminded us

1524
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,839
Speaker 1: it was only Miami. But moving forward, what's the biggest

1525
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 1: factor in that game offensively that the Bills can carry

1526
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: over for the rest of their season. What's the biggest

1527
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 1: thing they did to get success against the Dolphins on

1528
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball that will pave the

1529
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: way for the remaining six games. Phone line's open to

1530
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 1: talk about that. Eighth three, five fifty or from outside

1531
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

1532
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: five fifty. Got a Twitter poll on that. We'll check

1533
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: that in a moment and you can send us a tweet.

1534
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 1: We haven't got into the tweet sheet yet. We'll do

1535
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 1: that when we return. Come on back One Bill's Live,

1536
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: presented by Kalaida Hell from the Seneca Studio Senator Resorts

1537
01:12:54,120 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 1: in Casino. Nothing comes close. Welcome Back One Bills five

1538
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: John Murphy's team Casher in our Seneca Studio in Archer Park.

1539
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: It was a good segment with Kyle brand. I enjoyed

1540
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 1: talking to them. We got time for you now, though,

1541
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 1: and we want you to let us know what you

1542
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: think about the Buffalo offense. Kyle kind of dismissed the

1543
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: win over the Dolphins. Look, I know who the Dolphins are.

1544
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: I kind of predicted the Bills and score thirty points,

1545
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 1: But I don't want to walk away from that win.

1546
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: And say that didn't mean anything yet at this point, right,

1547
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: I think there was something there and that's where we're

1548
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: kind of talking about today. Yeah, I think the Bills

1549
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: looked like you wanted them to. Look. Yeah, a good

1550
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 1: team playing a team that's struggling. They beat him soundly,

1551
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: they beat him resoundingly. What do you think I was

1552
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think it was seventeen points close.

1553
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Ryan Fitzpatrick was well, Ryan Fitzpatrick was the

1554
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins best player and they sacked him seven times. And yeah,

1555
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 1: I just yeah, the Bills dominated that game like this

1556
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: like a good team should have. I guess a team

1557
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 1: that's sent a rebuild mode. So moving forward, what's the

1558
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 1: biggest factor for the Buffalo Bills offense said they take

1559
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: for that game that they can sustain success on offense?

1560
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: What do you think got phone lines open eight o

1561
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty and toll free one eight eight

1562
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. Our Twitter poll is interesting.

1563
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:26,599
Speaker 1: We've got more than five hundred eighty votes in so far.

1564
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: What's the biggest factor for the Bills offense to sustain

1565
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: success moving forward? Five hundred eighty votes, forty nine percent

1566
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: of you say, continue with the up tempo. Nohello pace, okay.

1567
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: Thirty six percent say make sure you keep Josh shallon versatile,

1568
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: use them in the run game, use them in the

1569
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: passing game. Got it? Eleven percent say just keep it simple.

1570
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: That's where I would vote, and I explained why earlier

1571
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: on and five percent of something else I might let's

1572
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: hear from you eight three five fifty toll free one

1573
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty got the

1574
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1575
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo BI And here we go

1576
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet from Ryan. He tweets in other

1577
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: keep day Ball upstairs. There have been many complaints about Dayball,

1578
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: but his relocation has provided him the ability to more

1579
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: quickly id the defense and relay that to Josh for

1580
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: adjustments that are locked in on quick snaps. Okay, I

1581
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 1: don't think that was a major factor. I really don't,

1582
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: but I hear you. If you want to tell me

1583
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: that's what you think, Okay, I hear you. I would

1584
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: say they made the change for a reason, and certainly

1585
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: it didn't hurt, so we'll see. I'm sure they will

1586
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 1: stay up there and when they find a way or

1587
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 1: reason for him to come back down, they will, But

1588
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: until then, I would say they're not gonna change anything

1589
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 1: from what they did this last week. In that respect,

1590
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 1: certainly the game plan will be different. But yeah, I

1591
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: agree with you, day Ball. I think it is probably

1592
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: upstairs for the foreseeable future. This also from the tweet

1593
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: sheet from James other. I believe it's the continued improvement

1594
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,759
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen. I don't want to see a regression Sunday.

1595
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: Looks like he's starting to see things better post snap.

1596
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Continued improvement builds confidence. Just grip it and rip it, Josh,

1597
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: go Bills. There's always some people in that camp, right Murph,

1598
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 1: were turn turn him loose. You're right, you're you're you're

1599
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: hindering his his what do you call it, his native abilities,

1600
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: the native skills that he's gotten. Is Yeah, the guy's

1601
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: genetically different. He's as tall as an oak tree, and

1602
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 1: he weighs two hundred and fifty pounds, and he's got

1603
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: an arm that is unparalleled, and he can outrun most

1604
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: guys on the field. Turn that guy loose, use him

1605
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 1: like that. The more of that, more of that more.

1606
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't care if he throws an interception, if he

1607
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 1: throws a two touchdowns, you know, or so I just

1608
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:39,759
Speaker 1: turn him loose. There's always going to be that voice

1609
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: out there. I think they're trying to help Josh as

1610
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: much as they can while still winning games, to become

1611
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can beat teams standing in the pocket

1612
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 1: and picking him apart. They want them to try and

1613
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: learn to do that. Certainly, they want to keep winning games,

1614
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: and if if need be, they're gonna run the triple

1615
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: option or the quarterback option and let him snap off

1616
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 1: a thirty six yard run like he did the other day.

1617
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: They're still going to have that in there, but they

1618
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 1: want him to beat teams. Also, the way the game

1619
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: is structured these days, to win it, you got to, ultimately,

1620
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: to win at the top level, you got to have

1621
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can stand in the pocket, deliver the

1622
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,719
Speaker 1: ball quickly, on time, accurately to a guy who's running

1623
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: open and been schemed open a timing route, the ball's out,

1624
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: and with a running game to complement it. That's what

1625
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 1: ultimately the game is structured to have a winning team

1626
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: looked like now. Certainly teams are doing it differently these days,

1627
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: but I think that's where they're trying to let Josh

1628
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 1: grow as a passing drop back quarterback, and then when

1629
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: they need to or as a changeup, or as a

1630
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: weapon or faster to their offense, they're going to use

1631
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: his athleticism. I think that's where they're at right now.

1632
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: Certainly they don't want to lose games, but they want

1633
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Josh to get as better on all fronts as they can,

1634
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: and that means letting him do everything. Here's a call

1635
01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 1: from Gene and Hamburg. Hello, Geen, welcome. How all I

1636
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: want to say is Josh was excellent on Sunday and

1637
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: he had better protection. I think he had very good protection,

1638
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: to say, in the pocket or shrow wherever he could

1639
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:13,480
Speaker 1: drove him. But he had excellent protection. And the receivers.

1640
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 1: The receivers which I noticed, we're going up for the ball.

1641
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: They weren't just letting it fly by their head, you know,

1642
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: they were going up for the ball to help them

1643
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 1: out to make out completion. The whole team did better Sunday.

1644
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: The whole team, I agree, Gene, and a lot of it,

1645
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: quite frankly, has to do with who they were playing.

1646
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: They were not a good team, the Dolphins, I think

1647
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: they were worse talent wise than they were a month

1648
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 1: earlier when the Bills beat him by ten. So that's

1649
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: a fact or two. But I think everything you said

1650
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: is correct. Yeah, you're right. That's you know, Gene, that's

1651
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 1: what you're looking at the Bill. You want the Bills

1652
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 1: to look like that against that team. But they did,

1653
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: I mean they did. I mean they did about all

1654
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 1: I could. They scored, They hunk thirty seven points, had

1655
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 1: their best offensive output of the year. Josh Allen showed

1656
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: up and I said this to you yesterday, Murph. This

1657
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: is yep, Josh. There's no question I think that Josh

1658
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,679
Speaker 1: Allen is seeing things better. He's making better decisions. He's

1659
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 1: making more complicated decisions. He's making better reads and more

1660
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: complicated reads presnap, post snap. He's throwing the football with

1661
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 1: better decisions all the time. He's making those decisions quicker.

1662
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: Now he's doing it against the Miami Dolphins that are

1663
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: under manned. Let's see him start doing it against a

1664
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,759
Speaker 1: defense that plays a little better like this Denver team.

1665
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: If he has a game like he did last week

1666
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 1: against this Denver defense, other people are gonna sit up

1667
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: and say start saying wow, Josh Allen's taking a big

1668
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 1: step forward this year. This is a bigger test this week.

1669
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: This is a defense for the Denver Broncos in Buffalo

1670
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: this week. That is gonna be a yardstick for how

1671
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 1: far Josh Allen's come. They're gonna demand Josh Allen do

1672
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 1: more things in the pocket, presnap, post snap. Quicker decisions,

1673
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 1: better decisions, more complicated decisions are gonna be made, have

1674
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: to be made against this, this Denver defense than we're

1675
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: against Miami defense. We'll see if he can do that,

1676
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 1: and that's gonna that's what we're looking at this week.

1677
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: Am I Right? Yeah? I haven't really dug into the

1678
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos yet. They've only won three. They had a

1679
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: four game losing streak to start. They've lost three of

1680
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: their last four. And who have they beaten? They beat

1681
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers to get their first win of the year.

1682
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 1: They followed that up with a win against Tennessee. Bills

1683
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 1: beat Tennessee and they beat Cleveland, which the Bills couldn't do.

1684
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,839
Speaker 1: So you know, they haven't played it in the heavyweight

1685
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 1: division yet either, Like people say about the Buffalo Bills,

1686
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,160
Speaker 1: So defensive numbers look good, as do the Bills. They

1687
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: have not done it against a lot of great teams yet.

1688
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: All right, today a big day for the Bills in

1689
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:35,839
Speaker 1: the community with the Rookie Club and several other players

1690
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: taking part in the Thanksgiving Blitz going on right now.

1691
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: And we've got Maddie Glab there to cover it for us.

1692
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 1: Taken away, Maddie. Hey, guys, Maddie Glab Here. We are

1693
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: at the Food Bank of Western New York for the

1694
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Blitz. And it's an event that a lot of players,

1695
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people on the Bill's staff as well

1696
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: as coaches, look forward to during the holiday season. It's

1697
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: super important to give back when you're a Buffalo Bill.

1698
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: So that's what we're doing today. We have several players

1699
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: here as a part of the Toyota Rookie Club event.

1700
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: Also a Huddle for Hunger event going on today. So

1701
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot of great things happening. And let me set

1702
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: the scene for you guys. So we have all of

1703
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: these blue tootes that are filled with all of these

1704
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: awesome Thanksgiving fixings. So we got pies, we have stuffing,

1705
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:21,959
Speaker 1: we have potatoes, we have roles, and we have turkeys.

1706
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:25,719
Speaker 1: So what's happening is yesterday, several people from the Bill's

1707
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 1: staff and the Bills Woman Association packed all of these totes.

1708
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: There's six hundred of these totes here and they feed

1709
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: about six thousand families if you can believe that. So

1710
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: six hundred families were pre selected, and today they're basically

1711
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: doing a drive through. So driving through, the players are

1712
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: greeting them with the turkeys as well as the bins,

1713
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: putting them in their cars, and they've got the best

1714
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:52,520
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving meal thanks to the Buffalo Bills players, staff and coaches.

1715
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: So right now we have several cars following showing up

1716
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: for this event as they are getting all of the

1717
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 1: things you could imagine for Thanksgiving dinner. So we're gonna

1718
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: show you guys the scene out here. So as you

1719
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 1: can see several cars, they're just basically coming on through.

1720
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,840
Speaker 1: The players are greeting them, saying hello, signing some autographs,

1721
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 1: getting their turkeys and their totes, and then they make

1722
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 1: their way through. It's a pretty efficient way to do this.

1723
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 1: A lot of happy faces, a lot of smiles. Today

1724
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a couple of players, so

1725
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: let's see who's around here. We'll ask him a couple

1726
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: of questions about what this davyans to them. Let's go

1727
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: ahead and grab Devin. Hey, Devin, you got a second.

1728
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 1: You're a busy man today. So this is your first

1729
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Blitz event. We've done this for many years. So

1730
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,240

1731
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 1: you get to give back, you know, to the guys

1732
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 1: that support us. You know all the time, they're traveling

1733
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 1: all over supporting us, so you know, we want to

1734
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: give back, you know, show them you know that we

1735
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: appreciate everything for them. Being a rookie, there's pretty much

1736
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: an opportunity to serve every single week out of the season.

1737
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:02,600
Speaker 1: On Tuesdays it's your day off. You guys get to

1738
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: do a lot of community events. So what have you

1739
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: learned through serving so much as an NFL player already? Um?

1740
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 1: You know it's just so much, you know, giving back.

1741
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:12,759
Speaker 1: You make a lot of people days, you know without

1742
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 1: even noticing it. So um, and they really make our

1743
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 1: days too, because you know they always feel of great

1744
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: energy and things, so things of that nature. And you

1745
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: know you meet a lot of nice people. So yeah,

1746
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 1: what are you thankful for this year? Um? You know,

1747
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 1: thankful definitely to be in Buffalo. Thankful for my family

1748
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: and friends. And I gotta ask about you guys playing

1749
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. I mean, this is something that so many

1750
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: players dream of as a little kid. I want to

1751
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: be in the NFL, but then you also want to

1752
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: plan on Thanksgiving. What's it gonna mean to play on

1753
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in front of that stage? Right? Um, it's gonna

1754
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 1: be big. You know, everybody's gonna be sitting now, you

1755
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: make turkeys or whatever they eat, and you know watching us.

1756
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a big moment. You know, I'm

1757
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to it, and it's gonna be a lot

1758
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: of fun. Awesome, Devin, thank you. We'll send you on

1759
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: your way. Keep working, appreciate it, no problem, no problem,

1760
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Thank you God. So if you guys are just joining us,

1761
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 1: we are at the Thanksgiving Blitz here at the Food

1762
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: Bank of Western New York. So you see all these

1763
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: bluetotes right here, there are six hundred bluetotes. What's inside

1764
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:14,640
Speaker 1: is all the Thanksgiving fixings. You could imagine, pies, potatoes, stuffing, beverages,

1765
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: all the good stuff. So these were packed yesterday by

1766
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: several staff of the Buffalo Bills as well as Buffalo

1767
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: Bills of Women Association members, and today we have a

1768
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:26,400
Speaker 1: lot of players here who are basically putting the totes

1769
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 1: with the turkeys, and we are giving them to six

1770
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: hundred families. It's gonna feed over six thousand people. So

1771
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 1: if you can imagine, a lot of people's days are

1772
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 1: being made today during the holiday season. So we're walking

1773
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: around talking to some of these players. I think I

1774
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: see Dawson Knox over there. These guys are busy putting

1775
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: the totes in the cars because you can see Devin

1776
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: Singletary's already busy again. Got quite the scene over here,

1777
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. We are live right now. How are you today? Good?

1778
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:05,680
Speaker 1: Thank you, I'm very good. How much is this way? Oh?

1779
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 1: Probably not too bad. A couple of arm curls here

1780
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 1: and there. Oh yeah, you know, you gotta get a

1781
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 1: good pump in when you can. But yeah, day off,

1782
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: gotta get a lift in. There are a lot of

1783
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 1: opportunities for you guys to give back here being a

1784
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 1: part of this Buffalo Bill's organization. So what does it

1785
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: meant to be involved with today as well as a

1786
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: lot of other events that you guys have already done.

1787
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:30,759
Speaker 1: Oh well, we just love youving back to the community

1788
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: that loves and supports us so much, and um, like

1789
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: we kind of we could tell the Miami like even

1790
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: that stadium was mostly Bills fans, so it was it

1791
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: was really fun to see. So any chance we get

1792
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: to go out and do stuff like this, we really

1793
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 1: try to take advantage of it. All right, speaking to Miami,

1794
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 1: you got a touchdown. What does a win like that

1795
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: do for the confidence of this team moving forward? Um,

1796
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, especially for the offense, I think it showed

1797
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: us how good we can really be when everything's clicking,

1798
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: Like Josh obviously had an incredible game and Smoke had

1799
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, twotas sounds big fumblecut every one hundred something yards.

1800
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 1: So I think it's just really good for the confidence

1801
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 1: of us and just you know, here going forward, it

1802
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: shows us that we can be pretty powerful. So all right,

1803
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: what are you thankful for this holiday season? As we

1804
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: approach the holidays? What am I thankful for? Besides these

1805
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 1: guys out here in this community? Just really thankful for family,

1806
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 1: expecting to see a couple of them this weekend, and

1807
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: really just thankful for just the organization that the Bills

1808
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,639
Speaker 1: have and just to be a part of this team.

1809
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 1: So if you can explain just how unique it is

1810
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: to be a part of this team, because I think

1811
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 1: a lot of players are a lot lot of people

1812
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 1: don't understand how unique this locker room is. So speak

1813
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:44,639
Speaker 1: to that. You've been on several football teams before this team, right,

1814
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,320
Speaker 1: so coming into the league, A lot of people that

1815
01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 1: have experienced this level say that it's very different from college,

1816
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:52,919
Speaker 1: very different than high school. You know, kind of everybody's

1817
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 1: doing their own thing, trying to take care of themselves, which, um,

1818
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, it is a business, so that's understandable. But

1819
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:01,759
Speaker 1: here it was. It's a lot closer than I expected

1820
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: it to be in terms of the locker room, in

1821
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: terms of the players, Like it really does feel like

1822
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 1: a family atmosphere, which is pretty special. Last question for

Speaker 1: games from the New York Lottery. The Bills offense went

1837
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: without a turn over this week. That's the third straight

1838
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 1: week they've done that, as the team's longest streak without

1839
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 1: a giveaway since games fourteen through sixteen a couple of

1840

Speaker 1: years ago, twenty seventeen. Do you jinks them when you

1841
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: say that? When you when is that like saying this

1842
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 1: guy's got a no hitter here in the seventheening? Is

1843
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: that to have the same effect? Like if you say

1844
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 1: they even have to turnover in in three games, are

1845
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: they going to turn it over? That has less than

1846
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: zero to do with whether they turn it over this

1847

1849
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 1: games from the New York Lottery. Talking about the Buffalo

1850
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: offense and how they can sustain what they started in Miami.

1851
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 1: Got a call on the line from Walt in Buffalo.

1852
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Walt, Welcome to the show. But hey, guys,

1853
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,720
Speaker 1: I love this show. Just had a question about if

1854
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 1: we're struggling on offense and it seems like we're doing

1855
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: the same stuff every every week, you know, running the

1856
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 1: ball right into the line or John Brown on a

1857
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: comeback route. You know, is there any time they're going

1858
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:03,760
Speaker 1: to start utilizing Dawson Knox Moore or or crossed. You know,

1859
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: he's kind of new to the offense coming back from injury.

1860
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: But it just seems like we're missing a part of

1861
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: the game now a lot of other teams utilize and

1862
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: rely on is a nice big tight end target for

1863
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen who's obviously not the most accurate with some

1864
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: of his throws. So just don't want your thoughts on

1865
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 1: getting the tight ends and let me Yeah, you got

1866
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: a lot of slams in that short call. Well, but

1867
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 1: I hear you. Look, I think Dawson Knox is emerging.

1868
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: He had a couple of critical drops up until this

1869
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 1: past Sunday, right for a couple of games, had he

1870
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 1: caught those passes against Washington and against Cleveland, he would

1871
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,720
Speaker 1: be an integral and emerging part of the offense. I

1872
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 1: think he's getting there. That touchdown catch against the Blitz

1873
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday in Miami was a huge play. And yes,

1874
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a role for Tyler Croft. But keep

1875
01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:51,599
Speaker 1: in mind, and we talked about it at the top

1876
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:53,799
Speaker 1: of the show. They went into the Miami game determined

1877
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 1: to play eleven personnel just one tight end. That tight

1878
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 1: end is Dawson Knox. They will play two tight ends

1879
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 1: the movie forward. I'm certain of that, and I think

1880
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 1: number two would be obviously Tyler Croft. But you're right,

1881
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 1: they need to tight end production. I think they're about

1882
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: to get more of it from Dawson Knox premar primarily

1883
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:13,560
Speaker 1: and and maybe more from Tyler Croft. What do you think, Steve, Yeah,

1884
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to Yeah, it's hard to get on get

1885
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 1: down on what the way they're using things when this game.

1886
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 1: I think it's become obvious through the course of the

1887
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,800
Speaker 1: games wins the losses this year that they're doing a

1888
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,559
Speaker 1: lot of different things every week there this week they

1889
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 1: used almost exclusively one personnel set. In other games we've

1890
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 1: seen them use that it was almost like clock where

1891
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:41,679
Speaker 1: it was a different personnel set every snap, So it

1892
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 1: depends it's a game to game thing. And to say

1893
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:47,599
Speaker 1: that they're struggling on offense because they only they only

1894
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 1: run the football into the middle of the line. Are

1895
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 1: they only they never throw to the tight end? I mean,

1896
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been paying attention. So I

1897
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 1: left that alone. That was part of the sam Yeah,

1898
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: that's cool. I get it. You know, everybody's got ideas,

1899
01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 1: and that's that's fine. I'm I've had a guys say

1900
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 1: it was, you know, day Ball's new mustaches the reason.

1901
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:09,680
Speaker 1: So there you go. This bears repeating, though, and I

1902
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:11,439
Speaker 1: said this earlier in the show, and you don't have

1903
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 1: to agree. I think they have been as versatile offensively

1904
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 1: and as unpredictable as any team in the league. I

1905
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: believe until this past Sunday when they paired it down

1906
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 1: eleven personnel. This is what we're using today, right, That's

1907
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 1: why we put it on the question mark. That's where

1908
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: this whole thing is that it was a big it

1909
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:31,840
Speaker 1: was a big point of point for us to observe

1910
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 1: and for any Bills fan to observe about this last

1911
01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 1: week's game. They didn't change people in and out of

1912
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 1: there like they usually do now. Certainly individuals came out,

1913
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:42,000
Speaker 1: Frank Gore and Singletary rotated in and out, but it

1914
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 1: was just one back, one tight end, three wides, let's go.

1915
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 1: It was the old it's the old k gun personnel

1916
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 1: is who they had on the field. That's exactly the

1917
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: way Jim Kelly and all those guys did it back then.

1918
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,800
Speaker 1: They never changed personnel, and it was a throwback to that.

1919
01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 1: And that's the story coming out of that offensively, is

1920
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: the fact that that's what it was. They haven't done

1921
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 1: that this year. They've been running different personnel packages on

1922
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 1: and off the field a lot during this season. So

1923
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:13,719
Speaker 1: it's obviously it was a game plan decision and it worked,

1924
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 1: and it worked really, really well. So you can count

1925
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:21,360
Speaker 1: on the fact probably that whatever they think is gonna

1926
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 1: give them the best matchup this week, they're gonna do it.

1927
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Whether it's changing personnel or staying stagnant and leaving the

1928
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 1: same guys on the field and going fast paced. It's

1929
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna be different this week than it was this last week.

1930
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:41,559
Speaker 1: But you know it's, yeah, the predictability thing, it's doesn't really,

1931
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 1: I can't agree with it. I don't either. We're gonna

1932
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 1: hear more from Bryan Dable in the third and final

1933

01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:38,439

2012
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,559
Speaker 1: you know, when his career is over and whenever it's over, right,

2013
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you should be you should be proud of

2014
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 1: that too. By the way, he's been a blast to

2015
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:49,439
Speaker 1: have him play up there, particularly in Hamilton. He'll tell

2016
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,599
Speaker 1: you that that it's been cool to have him just

2017
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 1: an hour north of Buffalo. Him and his wife and

2018
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 1: family live right in here in Buffalo area, and then

2019
01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:00,559
Speaker 1: he goes up and they get a little apartment up

2020
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:02,360
Speaker 1: there right outside of Hamilton's so we didn't have to

2021
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: make the trip back between practices and games and stuff.

2022
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 1: But it's been fun. Hamblet is just north of the border.

2023
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 1: We were there Sunday, brand new stadium, five years old,

2024
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand seeds, so it's you know, it's a

2025
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: little bit like like the place in La Chargers playing,

2026
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: except it doesn't have the end zone. It's just on size.

2027
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:23,400
Speaker 1: It's been great. It's been a great experience for our family,

2028
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,519
Speaker 1: great experiences and memories for our family while he's been

2029
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 1: up there. It's been fun. We'll talk with Luke about

2030
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:29,400
Speaker 1: all of that when he joins us on the show.

2031
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 1: We got a pretty good Twitter pole coming up here today,

2032
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:34,640
Speaker 1: and let's revisit that. Let you know what's going on

2033
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 1: with that Twitter poll today. It deals with the Buffalo Bills,

2034
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:39,240
Speaker 1: And yes, it's only the Dolphins. I'm not gonna say

2035
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:41,200
Speaker 1: that anymore the rest of the week. We know who

2036
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 1: they beat, we know how bad the Dolphins are, we

2037
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 1: know what their record is. But they beat him, they

2038
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:47,760
Speaker 1: beat him soundly, and they kind of fixed appeared to

2039
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: fix a lot of what's been going wrong with their offense.

2040
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: So what do you think what's the biggest factor for

2041
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,679
Speaker 1: the Bills offense from Miami that they need to keep

2042
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 1: to sustain success. Call in. We got lines wide open

2043
01:37:57,880 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 1: eight oh three h five fifty outside buff floats a

2046
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:07,200
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, or vote the Twitter pole. We got

2047
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:09,439
Speaker 1: five hundred eighty votes on the Twitter pole the biggest

2048
01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:12,839
Speaker 1: factor for the Bills offense to keep going to sustain success.

2049
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 1: On Twitter, forty nine percent of you, half of you

2050
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 1: saying let's just keep going with the up tempo no

2051
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: huddle pace, thirty six percent of you saying, make sure

2052
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is versatile, runs it, throws it auto the above.

2053
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 1: Eleven percent of you say let's keep it simple the

2054
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 1: way they did against Miami. Five percent have something else

2055
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:30,599
Speaker 1: in mind. Let's hear it from you eight oh three

2056
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 1: oh five fifty and toll free one eight eight eight

2057
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,400
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Bills offensive coordinator Brian Dabo

2058
01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 1: met with the media yesterday. The Bills ran no huddle

2059
01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. We know and even Josh Allen said

2060
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 1: he kind of gets to the answers to his questions

2061
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,600
Speaker 1: easier in no huddle. Brian Dabo was asked about that,

2062
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 1: do they keep going no huddle forward? And what does

2063
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 1: he think about the way Josh Ellen handles the no

2064
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:57,640
Speaker 1: huddle attack here he is tweet tweak. You know, you

2065
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 1: take a look at the team you're playing, um some

2066
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 1: of the things that they do against it. You look

2067
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:06,120
Speaker 1: at yourself and your personnel and what you think you

2068
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 1: can you can get out of it again. You know,

2069
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 1: just because you go no huddle doesn't necessarily mean that

2070
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 1: you're going to drive down and score a bunch of points.

2071
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:17,880
Speaker 1: It's the execution of whatever concept, whether it's huddle up,

2072
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:22,639
Speaker 1: use different personnel groups. Go fast. You know, going fast

2073
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 1: allows them to have more time at the line of scrimmage. Um,

2074
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 1: so he can, you know, see things we can communicate

2075
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 1: up until you know the time is you know ends,

2076
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 1: so we'll see how it goes. See how it goes.

2077
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:38,600
Speaker 1: I like at the end of that comment too, and

2078
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 1: he said we can can communicate. Going fast allows them

2079
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 1: to have more time with the line of scrimmage, so

2080
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 1: you can see things. We can communicate up until the

2081
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: time ends. Josh told us yesterday clock you know the

2082
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,599
Speaker 1: communication stops at fifteen seconds on the clock. You gotta

2083
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:55,599
Speaker 1: believe they get the play in quickly. They call the play.

2084
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 1: Josh walks up to the line of scrimmage, and in

2085
01:39:57,439 --> 01:39:59,679
Speaker 1: that walk up there for a couple of seconds at least,

2086
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:01,840
Speaker 1: he's got Dable in his ear right saying, hey, see

2087
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: that safety over there. He's shading this way, so let's

2088
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 1: do this instead, right, Yeah, and it works it does work,

2089
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,720
Speaker 1: and to a certain extent to Josh alluded to that

2090
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 1: he does. You got the feeling when we spoke to

2091
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 1: Josh yesterday. You can go back and listen to it

2092
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:18,000
Speaker 1: yourselves at the website. Josh intimated it didn't happen every time.

2093
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't a lot like Dable was sparking at me

2094
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 1: and the thing clicked off in the middle of a

2095
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 1: sentence by Dabel. Because day Ball is trying to talk

2096
01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 1: to him all the time. You get the feeling that

2097
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 1: there wasn't that much after the play was called. Maybe

2098
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 1: a word here or a word there as about all

2099
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 1: there was on those communications up till a fifteen second time.

2100
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 1: Because and I get it. We live with you know, earpieces.

2101
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we have people talk to us when they

2102
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:43,759
Speaker 1: need to right, right, So you don't talk while somebody's

2103
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:45,640
Speaker 1: trying to do something else. Right, you do it as

2104
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 1: little as possible, and I think day Ball knows that,

2105
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,559
Speaker 1: but still nevertheless, use keywords and key phrases to alert

2106
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:53,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback for something, because you have conversations. I mean,

2107
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: these guys are they live with each other all day,

2108
01:40:56,240 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 1: every day, and so they understand the way to communicate

2109
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:02,400
Speaker 1: with each other with one word with a look like

2110
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 1: on the field players do it, They're like, give you

2111
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:07,920
Speaker 1: a little eyebrow raise and a little nod of the head,

2112
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:09,760
Speaker 1: and you know exactly what the guy means. It means

2113
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 1: to make the adjustment. Same thing with a with a

2114
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,000
Speaker 1: quick word or a phrase from an offensive coordinator to

2115
01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 1: a player. So it wasn't like day balls in there,

2116
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, reading the preamble of the constitution, trying to

2117
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 1: get that in before the fifteen seconds every single play.

2118
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:26,679
Speaker 1: But it is a weapon you can use when it does.

2119
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 1: Is there to be used. What is the biggest factor

2120
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:31,840
Speaker 1: for the Bills to sustain success on offense? Let's go

2121
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan

2122
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. You

2123
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:38,519
Speaker 1: got some tweets right in front of you there, Buddy

2124
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:41,000
Speaker 1: An see it from JR. Says it has to come back,

2125
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: it has to be game planned specific. But I wouldn't

2126
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:46,240
Speaker 1: totally abandon any one of these factors. Josh is going

2127
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,759
Speaker 1: to play versatile because he is, and the up tempo

2128
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 1: allows the offense to put the d on their heels

2129
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 1: and keep it simple, is what they is. What any

2130
01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:57,160
Speaker 1: head coach wants to remain mistake free. That's what any

2131
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 1: coach wants to remain mistake free in that is keeping

2132
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:03,679
Speaker 1: it simple. Sipping the kool aid also adds the answer

2133
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:06,400
Speaker 1: is up tempo pace. Josh is just so much better

2134
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 1: in that scenario. We did it early in the year

2135
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:11,880
Speaker 1: and move the ball very successfully, both running and passing.

2136
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 1: Not sure why we ever got away from it. Can

2137
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:17,479
Speaker 1: I just say, if anyone's got a documentation of that,

2138
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to see it. I'm not denying that that

2139
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: might be the case, but to say that they did

2140
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 1: it early in the year, he's so much better in

2141
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:26,880
Speaker 1: that scenario, I'd like to see evidence of that. Do

2142
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Do you think that? Yeah?

2143
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: I know ze apparent is Josh played better up tempo,

2144
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:31,960
Speaker 1: no huddle. I don't know that he don't. I don't

2145
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:33,639
Speaker 1: know if he may, he may feel more comfortable about

2146
01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't remember him doing a bunch of it at

2147
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:36,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. One thing, the only thing

2148
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 1: I remember about noticing what they did early in the

2149
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:42,160
Speaker 1: year was an opening day against the Jets, and I

2150
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:44,439
Speaker 1: talked about it. Then they got out at all. I

2151
01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: mean every play and we talked about this. Every play

2152
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 1: was a different personnel group, different combination of tight ends,

2153
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 1: different combination of wide receivers, different running backs. Then they

2154
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: would go back to the rear and they'd bring out

2155
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 1: the wide receivers again. Then they and every they would

2156
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,680
Speaker 1: line up and then during the cadence and as a

2157
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:01,840
Speaker 1: play clock ran down, they would shift out of that

2158
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:04,919
Speaker 1: formation that they lined up in. And then after they shifted,

2159
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 1: somebody would go in motion again. So they were moving

2160
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 1: and changing the formation and the strength of the formation

2161
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,720
Speaker 1: right up until the snap. And that was kind of

2162
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 1: the game plan that they did. I don't remember him

2163
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:20,559
Speaker 1: being an up tempo kind of offense like that. Maybe

2164
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:24,120
Speaker 1: they did it in the Giants game or the Cincinnati game,

2165
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:26,559
Speaker 1: not played an entire game that way as they did

2166
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:29,599
Speaker 1: against Miami while the game talking about it very much.

2167
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:32,720
Speaker 1: One more from the tweet sheet from Jake. What's the

2168
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 1: biggest factor for the Bills to sustain success offensively? Jake says,

2169
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 1: let Alan be allen. He doesn't need to be one

2170
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:42,760
Speaker 1: percent reckless or one percent conservative. Let him evenly mix

2171
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 1: the pocket passer he's become over the last several weeks

2172
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:49,559
Speaker 1: with the exciting elusive playmaking quarterback he has been and

2173
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:53,679
Speaker 1: they'll be all right. That sounds far too far, too

2174
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:56,920
Speaker 1: reasoned and intelligent to be on our show. I'm sorry, Twitter,

2175
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 1: that's for sure, right talking the rest of those that

2176
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 1: everyone crazy. Uh couver of colts here, Bill and Niagara

2177
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:05,559
Speaker 1: falls high. Bill, go ahead, and you're on the air.

2178
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: I thinking on the youth side of Sundays. Tight end

2179
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:16,320
Speaker 1: jumps for a little bit, coach pulls them. I'm in taunt.

2180
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: The coach pulls them. What do you think about? I

2181
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:23,720
Speaker 1: don't want do you see thinks about showing up a

2182
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,120
Speaker 1: player like that is? Oh, I don't know if that's

2183
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 1: showing up. And I did notice this. I was calling

2184
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,360
Speaker 1: the game Sundays. Even Bill's player be called for a

2185
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 1: penalty pre snap penalty or even a post snap penalty,

2186
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:36,840
Speaker 1: and they came off the field for the most but

2187
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:38,720
Speaker 1: a lot of them did that, not everyone. But they

2188
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 1: haven't been doing that the whole season, right, Oh. I

2189
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:42,559
Speaker 1: think it was a kind of a new development. Yeah.

2190
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 1: I think they're they're sending a message, and I think

2191
01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:47,960
Speaker 1: the message would be not so much what happens on

2192
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 1: game day when the guy gets benched, but the message

2193
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: they said before the game started during the week leading

2194
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 1: up to it, say listen, guys, we're gonna cut these

2195
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:56,360
Speaker 1: pre snap penalties out or you're gonna get benched. If

2196
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 1: you make a mistake like that, you're coming off the field. Um.

2197
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: And I think in doing so, they had to back

2198
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: it up. And I think that's what they did that

2199
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 1: This wasn't like a game thy out of the blue thing.

2200
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 1: Those players knew it was coming, and it's part of

2201
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 1: the reason why you do things like that. They know

2202
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:15,840
Speaker 1: it's coming. So that's the impetus for them to make

2203
01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 1: different decisions on the field, to sit tight and hold

2204
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 1: their water on a third and short so they don't get,

2205
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, get pulled off the field. It's an absolute

2206
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:26,439
Speaker 1: and I don't know that I'm not gonna say it's

2207
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:29,600
Speaker 1: a last resort, but it's certainly another step in the

2208
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 1: process of getting guys to listen up and not jump

2209
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 1: off sides and get false starts and pre snap and

2210
01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:38,200
Speaker 1: post snap penalties. When you bench them because of it,

2211
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,799
Speaker 1: it sends the strongest message possible. Now, once the coaching

2212
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 1: staff says that if they don't put pull the guy

2213
01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:49,520
Speaker 1: out of the off the field, it undermines their credibility

2214
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 1: and their respect. They'll get in the locker room, they'll

2215
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:52,800
Speaker 1: lose the locker room because of it. But once they

2216
01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 1: went there and they're gonna do it, they're gonna do it.

2217
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:56,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've got penalties under control. The

2218
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: Bills are down to an average of seven penalties per game,

2219
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 1: and I want to say about three four weeks ago,

2220
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:03,439
Speaker 1: they were almost I think they were at nine penalties

2221
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 1: per game. That's significant drop off in just a couple

2222
01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:08,960
Speaker 1: of weeks. Yeah, seven penalties a game. Yeah, you'd like

2223
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: it to be a little maybe five six penalties a game.

2224
01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 1: But they're getting there. I think, Yeah, who knows. I can't.

2225
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't keep track of it. I know when it.

2226
01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:20,960
Speaker 1: I really don't care about competitive penalties, the presnap post

2227
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 1: snap penalties, Yeah, those are those are unacceptable. The ones

2228
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:29,880
Speaker 1: I can the penalties I care about, or the ones

2229
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 1: when it's third and one and you jump off side,

2230
01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's those are the ones you cannot have.

2231
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: The ones when it's a third down or four, or

2232
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:39,760
Speaker 1: you know it's a third and short and your defensive

2233
01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 1: get your defense gets a penalty and that gives them

2234
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:44,080
Speaker 1: a first down. The ones you get. The big plays

2235
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:46,840
Speaker 1: you give or give up. The big plays you give

2236
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:51,479
Speaker 1: or give up because of a penalty are the crushers. Yep,

2237
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:54,120
Speaker 1: it's the timing of it is the crusher. And you know,

2238
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 1: but pre snap post snap is is inexcusable. It's called

2239
01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 1: from Brian in Hamburg. Hello, Brian, welcome, you're on the air. Hey,

2240
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:05,479
Speaker 1: how's it going. Um? I want to say that the offense, uh,

2241
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:10,400
Speaker 1: success mainly relies on how we use Devin Singletary and

2242
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:14,080
Speaker 1: if uh, basically, I'm pretty sure the numbers show that

2243
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: if he's got it, he's having a big game and

2244
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:19,800
Speaker 1: uh and ends in a W So what do you

2245
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 1: guys think of that? And uh, just let you guys

2246
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:25,599
Speaker 1: speak on it. Well, yeah, I mean, if you're running

2247
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:27,519
Speaker 1: back starting running back has a great day, it usually

2248
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:29,600
Speaker 1: spells good things for your team, no matter who it is,

2249
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 1: whether it's Frank Gore or Devin Singletary. Yeah, okay, I'm um.

2250
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:39,600
Speaker 1: It's that it's the logic that because this is a statistic,

2251
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:41,280
Speaker 1: this has to be the reason for it. And I

2252
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 1: and it's what's the name, ad hoc logic pro Yeah

2253
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 1: that after this because of this, right, I don't know

2254
01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. Devin Singletary is a good player for this team,

2255
01:47:56,280 --> 01:47:57,640
Speaker 1: and I think he's going to continue to be a

2256
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,360
Speaker 1: really good player. Um and he's gonna be i'ming more

2257
01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 1: and more consistent, and the team is starting to give

2258
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:04,400
Speaker 1: him more and depend on him more. I think there's

2259
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 1: we even noticed it in our end of it. I

2260
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:10,759
Speaker 1: think this regime that Sean McDermott's philosophy is he really

2261
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:17,480
Speaker 1: eases young if if he can, he eases young players

2262
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:22,240
Speaker 1: into their contributing point very slowly, both on and off

2263
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 1: the field. I think they do that when they put

2264
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:30,280
Speaker 1: him on the field, they do so sparingly in the

2265
01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 1: beginning of their rookie year and up through the halfway point.

2266
01:48:32,760 --> 01:48:35,120
Speaker 1: And I think now we've seen that as as Devin

2267
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 1: Singletary has evolved. Now he's kind of the bell cow

2268
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 1: of this offense more so than Frank Gore is, and

2269
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:43,679
Speaker 1: their roles are reversing. And I think that is true

2270
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:48,760
Speaker 1: throughout the Bill's organization. There's been a couple of exceptions,

2271
01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:53,080
Speaker 1: no question, Cody Ford, what Tremaine Edmonds was an exception.

2272
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:57,839
Speaker 1: Turdavious White was an exception. But I think those were

2273
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 1: players that were in unique situations in their position group,

2274
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:06,760
Speaker 1: not just the fact that they were especially gifted, which

2275
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 1: those guys are, but even Josh Allen was eased into it.

2276
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:12,720
Speaker 1: Remember he didn't he didn't start the starting of his

2277
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 1: rookie season. Nathan Peterman did, and you know, then after

2278
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:19,360
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman was Derek Anderson and then it was you know,

2279
01:49:19,439 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: so it took him a long time to get on

2280
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 1: the field. And I think it's this regime's philosophy is

2281
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:31,439
Speaker 1: to ease rookies into it. Dawson Knox was an example

2282
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 1: that because I think because of Tyler Croft being injured,

2283
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they had any intention of starting Knox

2284
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 1: as early as they did, but he was the last

2285
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 1: guy stander. Remember they had three tight ends hurt. Yeah,

2286
01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:47,560
Speaker 1: so because of all of that, Yeah, Devin Singletary is

2287
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:50,479
Speaker 1: gonna emerge, I think further and further. And I think

2288
01:49:50,520 --> 01:49:52,320
Speaker 1: now in the second half of the year, if I

2289
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 1: was going to make a generalization, I think all the

2290
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:56,880
Speaker 1: young guys are going to get more time and more

2291
01:49:56,920 --> 01:49:59,240
Speaker 1: looks on the offense or defensive side of the football,

2292
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:02,559
Speaker 1: because I think that's one of the things this this

2293
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 1: head coach likes to do with his rookies and that

2294
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:06,800
Speaker 1: second half of the rookie season. Then he turns them

2295
01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:08,479
Speaker 1: loose a little a couple of other issues. I want

2296
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:10,880
Speaker 1: to get to you about the Bills before we get

2297
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:12,439
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the hour, but let me squeeze

2298
01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 1: in another call here. Let's go to Bruce in Florida. Hey, Bruce,

2299
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:17,759
Speaker 1: how are you? Hey? Guys? Awesome? How are you guys

2300
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:20,919
Speaker 1: doing today? Good listening to you guys every day. Thanks.

2301
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:24,559
Speaker 1: After thirty one years living down here in Florida, I

2302
01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 1: finally dragged my butt down to the stadium to watch

2303
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 1: the Bills game. What took so long? Oh? I don't know.

2304
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:33,120
Speaker 1: It's just so it's a long drive from where I

2305
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: live Central Florida. But it's my better hals first NFL game.

2306
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 1: She's not even a Bills fan, but she is now.

2307
01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 1: First question for I know you got another point? Can

2308
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:45,240
Speaker 1: I ask you a quick question? What percentage of the

2309
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 1: crowd there in hard Rock Stadium would you estimate? We're

2310
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:51,439
Speaker 1: Bills fans? Sunday it was a home game for Buffalo,

2311
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 1: like more than Oh my lord, are you kidding me? When?

2312
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:00,880
Speaker 1: What was that Jordan phillipter whatever that that defensive backlist. Yeah,

2313
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: he was waving his arms. I know for a fact

2314
01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 1: fitz Patrick couldn't hear himself think it was crazy? Yeah,

2315
01:51:08,439 --> 01:51:09,880
Speaker 1: go ahead. Did you had the other points you wanted

2316
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:12,439
Speaker 1: to make, Bruce, Yeah, that was my first away game.

2317
01:51:12,439 --> 01:51:16,280
Speaker 1: I've always flown up for a Bill's game. I gotta

2318
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 1: tell you that kid in the middle, Edmunds, he is

2319
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:23,040
Speaker 1: a bonified stud. I was watching him specifically in the

2320
01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 1: way he played on defense. The older he gets, the

2321
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 1: better he's gonna get. There is no two ways about it.

2322
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:33,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I know who we were playing. You

2323
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:35,639
Speaker 1: know I'll make mistake about it. But I just think

2324
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:39,240
Speaker 1: that these guys are on the right track. They're doing

2325
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 1: the right things. They're gonna have some hiccups along the way,

2326
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 1: but so did our guys back in the day with

2327
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:48,919
Speaker 1: Kelly and all End. They had their thanks first appreciate,

2328
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:52,599
Speaker 1: and I agree. I thought Tremaine Edmonds was a force

2329
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,200
Speaker 1: in that game for a Bill's defense that dominated. I

2330
01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 1: thought he was. Here's the thing. We get calls every

2331
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:00,760
Speaker 1: so often where people will see say I want I

2332
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 1: think they should move Tremaine Edmonds to outside linebacker. I

2333
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:06,439
Speaker 1: think he would be better at rushing the passer that Well,

2334
01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Today's inside linebacker the NFL is not

2335
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:15,080
Speaker 1: like Mike Singletarry or Dick Butkus. They got to go

2336
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:17,240
Speaker 1: sideline to sideline, and they got to carry it tighten

2337
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:19,160
Speaker 1: down the middle of the defense and run with people

2338
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:21,840
Speaker 1: and get in the passing lanes and drop into coverage.

2339
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,240
Speaker 1: And Tremaine Edmonds has the ability to go sideline to

2340
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:28,760
Speaker 1: sideline in the run game as well as the pass game.

2341
01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 1: Once in a while you'll see him. He'll get he'll

2342
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 1: get balled up with a blocker and uh and won't

2343
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 1: get off the block. And that's the one aspect of

2344
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 1: people will always point to that. But let me tell

2345
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 1: you something. That guy does so much that is up

2346
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:46,160
Speaker 1: just awesome. You can't think about moving him out of

2347
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:50,639
Speaker 1: that spot. He's great in pass coverage. He goes sideline

2348
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 1: to sideline the running game. And I'll tell you this too.

2349
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 1: When they bring him on the blitz, the sky goes dark.

2350
01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 1: The guy is a monster coming off up the middle

2351
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:04,400
Speaker 1: or off the edge in his gap as a blitzer.

2352
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:06,240
Speaker 1: He's big and long. When he gets close to the

2353
01:53:06,320 --> 01:53:08,640
Speaker 1: quarterback and spreads his arms up or jumps up in

2354
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:14,160
Speaker 1: the air, he is unbelievably huge and hard to throw

2355
01:53:14,200 --> 01:53:16,320
Speaker 1: the football around. You see who're seeing the highlights. Two,

2356
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 1: he's twenty five yards down the field with a tight

2357
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:21,560
Speaker 1: end knocking the ball away. And he's also in the backfields,

2358
01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, just all over the quarterback. He's a phenomenal

2359
01:53:24,560 --> 01:53:27,720
Speaker 1: blitzer when they use him that way. He's great in

2360
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 1: the past game in coverage, and he shows great speed

2361
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:35,519
Speaker 1: going sideline the sideline on wide runs. For whatever else

2362
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:38,839
Speaker 1: some people don't think he does well. All that stuff

2363
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:40,800
Speaker 1: more than makes up for it, and he is he is,

2364
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 1: And I think yesterday and Sunday against the Dolphins, you

2365
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:48,519
Speaker 1: saw a glimpse of why he's not going anywhere for

2366
01:53:48,560 --> 01:53:50,640
Speaker 1: a long long time. That guy's a middle linebacker for

2367
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 1: a while. Another thing I defense, in terms of usage

2368
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 1: of personnel cornerbacks apout. It was like an even split

2369
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:02,160
Speaker 1: at the cornerbacks spout opposite Tradavious White. Levi Wilace started

2370
01:54:02,240 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: got thirty three snaps, Kevin Johnson finished got thirty six,

2371
01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 1: so it was almost an even split. It was like

2372
01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:11,040
Speaker 1: two series for one, two series for the other. Sean

2373
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:13,360
Speaker 1: McDermott talked about it a little bit yesterday when he

2374
01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:16,280
Speaker 1: was asked which way they've gone with that? How did

2375
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:18,000
Speaker 1: and how did Levi handle the fact that he was

2376
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:20,240
Speaker 1: taking off the field giving up some of his snaps

2377
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 1: to Kevin Johnson. Here's what McDermot said. We did that

2378
01:54:24,160 --> 01:54:27,519
Speaker 1: at a couple other positions as well. And Levi, as

2379
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:31,360
Speaker 1: I said before, Joe, he's a team first, unselfish young

2380
01:54:31,400 --> 01:54:32,960
Speaker 1: man that has done him and played a lot of

2381
01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 1: good football for us, and we expect him to continue

2382
01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:38,080
Speaker 1: with that. Just rolling them was just taking a look

2383
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:42,280
Speaker 1: at different combinations again and then making the offense work

2384
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:44,160
Speaker 1: a little bit as well in some different areas, different

2385
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:48,520
Speaker 1: types of players, different combinations, and Leslie Frazier would not

2386
01:54:48,520 --> 01:54:51,040
Speaker 1: commit to what the plan is going forward. I find then,

2387
01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, when we talked about it last week, not

2388
01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 1: a shock because Levi had struggled, had been targeted, just

2389
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 1: as Kevin Johnson will get targeted if he's out there.

2390
01:54:58,080 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: It's not gonna change, right. I just I don't know

2391
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 1: what benefit there is to a platoon system like that.

2392
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: What do you think? You know? I was thinking about

2393
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,520
Speaker 1: this just as we were listening to Sean talk right there,

2394
01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:11,800
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott. I think, and it's what I said a

2395
01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:13,400
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. I think they're at the point of

2396
01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:15,400
Speaker 1: the season where they're going to start to make some

2397
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:19,959
Speaker 1: real decisions about winning every game. I think they probably

2398
01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:22,640
Speaker 1: thought defensively, they had a little bit of a margin

2399
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,440
Speaker 1: of error against the Dolphins, and they said, let's try

2400
01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:27,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, let's work it in,

2401
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 1: see how he does. Let's work Kevin Johnson n see

2402
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 1: if he can do some things in the run game.

2403
01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:33,640
Speaker 1: Let's see if he can make the checks and cover

2404
01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:36,840
Speaker 1: some guys. Let's see if how Levi handles it, and

2405
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:38,440
Speaker 1: let's see what effect it has on the rest of

2406
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 1: the defense rolling those guys in. I think there's a

2407
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 1: concerted effort on the part of this coaching staff to

2408
01:55:45,200 --> 01:55:47,800
Speaker 1: let this team evolve, and they're at the point of

2409
01:55:47,800 --> 01:55:50,920
Speaker 1: the season now where they need to they're still trying

2410
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:52,800
Speaker 1: to find some things out about who they could be.

2411
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:55,880
Speaker 1: You're close to saying that was a preseason game last Sunday.

2412
01:55:57,360 --> 01:55:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's a good point, you know what

2413
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, if we're gonna try something, okay, these

2414
01:56:01,440 --> 01:56:03,760
Speaker 1: that's the one to try, because yeah, I mean, we're looking,

2415
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 1: we're watching these the Dolphins play and we're like you're

2416
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:10,400
Speaker 1: you're calling for thirty points on it for an offense

2417
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:16,120
Speaker 1: that hasn't scored, right, So you knew, and you knew.

2418
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:19,440
Speaker 1: So the coach I knew, right, Steve knows. I think

2419
01:56:19,440 --> 01:56:21,240
Speaker 1: this They said, all right, this is a week, let's

2420
01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:24,440
Speaker 1: try some things. Let's let's send some pressure. They don't.

2421
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:27,520
Speaker 1: They don't blitz a lot. You're in Buffalo where they

2422
01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:31,520
Speaker 1: did last week. A lot. A little bit of it

2423
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:34,080
Speaker 1: is analytics. I'm sure going forward they're gonna get some

2424
01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:36,040
Speaker 1: mileage out of this for these teams that they're facing.

2425
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:37,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, oh, they blitz this much, we gotta

2426
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta think about this. So yeah, I

2427
01:56:40,400 --> 01:56:42,600
Speaker 1: think there was a little bit of that little experimentation.

2428
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:44,680

2457
01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:22,280
Speaker 1: You guys are out in Calgary. You get there today, right,

2458
01:58:22,600 --> 01:58:26,680
Speaker 1: and and we're talking in the break. Calgary is no

2459
01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:29,400
Speaker 1: stranger to the Hamilton Tire catch. You guys spend a

2460
01:58:29,400 --> 01:58:31,520
Speaker 1: week out there and your travels on your West Coast

2461
01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:35,720
Speaker 1: swing during the season. That's right. The uh we did

2462
01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:38,200
Speaker 1: it this year and years in the past. Two we

2463
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:40,839
Speaker 1: play Edmonton is just a short drive north of Calgary,

2464
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:42,880
Speaker 1: so when we go out there, we sort of like

2465
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:45,160
Speaker 1: a sort of hockey you know, like the NHL does

2466
01:58:45,200 --> 01:58:46,920
Speaker 1: these road trips. We'll do that too. So we went

2467
01:58:46,920 --> 01:58:50,040
Speaker 1: out and played Calgary, stayed out west in Calgary for

2468
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 1: a week, and then played Edmonton the following week. And

2469
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:54,600
Speaker 1: that was just you know, two months ago or so.

2470
01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:57,520
Speaker 1: And Calgary is actually fantastic city. So's it'll be a

2471
01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:01,200
Speaker 1: nice week. They'll host the Gray Cup very well. I think. Look,

2472
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:03,400
Speaker 1: you've been to Super Bowls, I presume maybe even when

2473
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: you were a little kid or even two weeks old

2474
01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:08,200
Speaker 1: at the at the first Super Bowl, what do you

2475
01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:12,160
Speaker 1: remember about that week. But this is different, right way,

2476
01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:14,640
Speaker 1: You've been to Great Cups too, What do you think?

2477
01:59:14,680 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 1: What what should people know Buffaledonians know about the Great Cup?

2478
01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:19,400
Speaker 1: The atmosphere, he kind of the build up, the hype

2479
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:23,280
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah. So the way I like to describe

2480
01:59:23,320 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 1: it to two Americans who don't probably know any that

2481
01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:29,560
Speaker 1: much about the CFL is, you know, you think this

2482
01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:33,080
Speaker 1: this year is, um, it's a fifty second Super Bowl.

2483
01:59:33,080 --> 01:59:37,480
Speaker 1: What's the what is it this year sounds right? Fifty

2484
01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 1: three or fifty four? Yeah, yeah, right, So this is

2485
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:42,360
Speaker 1: the this is one hundred and seventh Great Cup that

2486
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:44,680
Speaker 1: they haven't there and so this you know, they went

2487
01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:47,320
Speaker 1: on pause for the for the Second World War, you know,

2488
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's and then they picked it up. You know,

2489
01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:52,080
Speaker 1: it's incredible the history that this has with the with

2490
01:59:52,400 --> 01:59:54,800
Speaker 1: the country. And you also got to remember that the

2491
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:57,800
Speaker 1: entire country of Canada is similar in population to the

2492
01:59:57,800 --> 02:00:00,680
Speaker 1: state of California, and so this is a really really

2493
02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:04,280
Speaker 1: special thing for the you know, for in a sense

2494
02:00:04,320 --> 02:00:07,800
Speaker 1: of the identity of Canadians and it's a special thing

2495
02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:09,800
Speaker 1: to take part in. So the week, the whole city

2496
02:00:09,840 --> 02:00:12,160
Speaker 1: will be kind of decked out in uh, you know,

2497
02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:16,320
Speaker 1: Great Cup celebrations and the festivals set up there and

2498
02:00:16,360 --> 02:00:18,080
Speaker 1: then the one hundred and seventh Great Cup plays. So

2499
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:19,720
Speaker 1: I played in one hundred and first and one hundred

2500
02:00:19,720 --> 02:00:22,280
Speaker 1: and second that was in Saskatchewan and then in Vancouver.

2501
02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:25,000
Speaker 1: Uh and with the tie Cats, and we lost both

2502
02:00:25,040 --> 02:00:26,600
Speaker 1: of those. And so now we're going out for one

2503
02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:29,840
Speaker 1: hundred and seventh to play Winnipeg and Calgary, and uh,

2504
02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:32,920
Speaker 1: you know this, it just culturally and the tradition this

2505
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:35,400
Speaker 1: would the tie Cats have won fifteen Great Cups over

2506
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:36,960
Speaker 1: the one hundred and fifty years that they've been a

2507
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:40,560
Speaker 1: football franchise, and so we're trying to get the sixteenth

2508
02:00:40,600 --> 02:00:43,160
Speaker 1: tie Cat Great Cup. And man, it is just the

2509
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:46,480
Speaker 1: the city of Hamilton is. It couldn't be more excited

2510
02:00:46,560 --> 02:00:50,440
Speaker 1: and ready for another championship and certainly it's going to

2511
02:00:50,520 --> 02:00:52,840
Speaker 1: be a fun time out in Calgary. So your your

2512
02:00:52,880 --> 02:00:55,320
Speaker 1: opponent for the game is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. You

2513
02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:57,640
Speaker 1: played them. It's to nine at this point in history,

2514
02:00:57,640 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 1: it's a nine team league. It's flux waited over the years.

2515
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:03,440
Speaker 1: But now with what you play these teams, you know,

2516
02:01:03,440 --> 02:01:05,520
Speaker 1: a couple of times during the regular season, what were

2517
02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:08,200
Speaker 1: your games like with Winnipeg, like leading up and now

2518
02:01:08,240 --> 02:01:11,160
Speaker 1: meeting them again in the in the Great Cup. Yeah.

2519
02:01:11,240 --> 02:01:14,160
Speaker 1: We uh, this was the best regular season in Tikat history.

2520
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:16,760
Speaker 1: We went fifteen and three this year and we did

2521
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:19,080
Speaker 1: beat Winnipeg twice in the regular season. So you play

2522
02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:22,000
Speaker 1: every team in the league twice and then you two

2523
02:01:22,040 --> 02:01:24,760
Speaker 1: of the teams in your division. So for us this

2524
02:01:24,840 --> 02:01:28,280
Speaker 1: year it was Montreal and Toronto we played three times

2525
02:01:28,280 --> 02:01:31,120
Speaker 1: and that that makes up your eighteen game season. We

2526
02:01:31,160 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 1: beat Winnipeg twice, but it was not with the current quarterback.

2527
02:01:35,560 --> 02:01:38,320
Speaker 1: Zach Colaris, my former teammate, is starting for Winnipeg now,

2528
02:01:39,160 --> 02:01:40,840
Speaker 1: so you know they're a different team now too, and

2529
02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:45,080
Speaker 1: they've they've sort of, you know, scrap their way to

2530
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the Great Cup. They beat Calgary in the semi final

2531
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:50,600
Speaker 1: in Calgary, and then this h this past weekend they

2532
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:55,240
Speaker 1: beat Saskatchewan in sask for the Western Final. So they're

2533
02:01:55,400 --> 02:01:58,520
Speaker 1: playing really well right now and they kind of have

2534
02:01:58,560 --> 02:02:00,800
Speaker 1: a different, different field, different idea entity now that since

2535
02:02:00,840 --> 02:02:04,280
Speaker 1: we've seen them last with Zach Claris playing for them,

2536
02:02:04,720 --> 02:02:07,560
Speaker 1: with Luke Tasker, Steve Sun, he's a wide receiver for

2537
02:02:07,640 --> 02:02:09,880
Speaker 1: the Hamilton tie Cats getting set to play in the

2538
02:02:09,920 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 1: Great Cup this Sunday against against Winnipeg. Luke, what I know,

2539
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:15,080
Speaker 1: You've been banged up a little bit this season, right,

2540
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:17,080
Speaker 1: you missed some time with a hamstring. I believe what

2541
02:02:17,160 --> 02:02:19,880
Speaker 1: kind of a season has it been? Overwhelmed for you? Yeah,

2542
02:02:19,880 --> 02:02:21,640
Speaker 1: it's been a tough year so by far, it's been

2543
02:02:21,640 --> 02:02:23,640
Speaker 1: the best best team I've been a part of here,

2544
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:26,800
Speaker 1: We've been It's been an unbelievable We were undefeated at home,

2545
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:31,320
Speaker 1: had a great season and across across the board. But yeah,

2546
02:02:31,320 --> 02:02:34,240
Speaker 1: I was banged up a lot. I had a early

2547
02:02:34,320 --> 02:02:38,040
Speaker 1: on I had a spraining my ac joint in my shoulder.

2548
02:02:38,080 --> 02:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I missed time for I had a hamstring that I

2549
02:02:40,200 --> 02:02:43,680
Speaker 1: had missed time and set back again and I ended

2550
02:02:43,720 --> 02:02:45,720
Speaker 1: up playing about half the regular season. I do feel

2551
02:02:45,760 --> 02:02:47,800
Speaker 1: healthy now though, and I'm excited to be a part

2552
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:51,480
Speaker 1: of this last stretch here. It's been a tough season

2553
02:02:51,520 --> 02:02:53,600
Speaker 1: for me personally, but I but I'm just excited to

2554
02:02:53,680 --> 02:02:55,720
Speaker 1: be part of this last push for a Great Cup though.

2555
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:58,360
Speaker 1: So I just want to assure you that going to

2556
02:02:58,440 --> 02:03:01,160
Speaker 1: championship games and losing is not genetic trade that you

2557
02:03:01,160 --> 02:03:04,120
Speaker 1: need to follow. Right, You've been to two trades two

2558
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Great Cups, right, you had you've been in two Great

2559
02:03:06,760 --> 02:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Cups already in your career. It's been a while since

2560
02:03:08,680 --> 02:03:10,480
Speaker 1: your last one, But what do you remember about the others?

2561
02:03:10,480 --> 02:03:12,000
Speaker 1: And there is there any advice you got for your

2562
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:15,720
Speaker 1: teammates about what to do in this one? Yeah, you

2563
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:18,800
Speaker 1: know what, it doesn't feel like a regular week of practice.

2564
02:03:18,840 --> 02:03:21,080
Speaker 1: There's just so much going on. And when we're here,

2565
02:03:21,120 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 1: we our schedule works out where we get to the

2566
02:03:23,680 --> 02:03:26,920
Speaker 1: facilities pretty early and we're practice and we're off the

2567
02:03:26,960 --> 02:03:29,760
Speaker 1: field for our practice days by one o'clock. And when

2568
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:31,320
Speaker 1: you're out for the Great Cup, it just doesn't work

2569
02:03:31,360 --> 02:03:35,160
Speaker 1: that way. You've got you know, media breakfasts and events

2570
02:03:35,200 --> 02:03:37,880
Speaker 1: that you're going to. You you practice. It almost feels

2571
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:39,680
Speaker 1: like you barely have time to practice during the day,

2572
02:03:39,720 --> 02:03:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, and then you and then you get ready

2573
02:03:41,600 --> 02:03:43,800
Speaker 1: for the game. Like I said, we went out to

2574
02:03:43,800 --> 02:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Calgary earlier in the year and we're out there for

2575
02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, nine or eight or nine days in the season.

2576
02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:51,200
Speaker 1: This time, you know, we're going out there and our

2577
02:03:51,320 --> 02:03:53,440

2580
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:02,680
Speaker 1: game day, you know, And that's that's what I remember

2581
02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:04,480
Speaker 1: from our first two Gray Cups. It's a kind of

2582
02:04:04,480 --> 02:04:06,280
Speaker 1: a whirlwind of a week and you got to kind of,

2583
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, prepare for that for your game early on

2584
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:11,720
Speaker 1: because it gets a little hectic with all the festivities

2585
02:04:11,760 --> 02:04:14,600

2593
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:33,840
Speaker 1: city to travel and spend a weekend, and honestly, it's

2594
02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, well, you never know what kind of what

2595
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 1: the weather is going to be in November there, but

2596
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:40,839
Speaker 1: it does look like it's in the city of Calgary

2597
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:43,160
Speaker 1: is a great place to spend some time. And look

2598
02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:45,200
Speaker 1: what about the CFL has worked for you. I mean

2599
02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:47,560
Speaker 1: you're in your seventh year right now in Canadian Football

2600
02:04:47,600 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 1: League and you know grew up in East Rura Plate

2601
02:04:50,040 --> 02:04:52,720
Speaker 1: at Cornell. You've had shots with the NFL, but clearly

2602
02:04:52,760 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 1: you found your niche in the Canadian Football League. What

2603
02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:56,400
Speaker 1: do you what do you think that is? What about

2604
02:04:56,440 --> 02:04:58,720
Speaker 1: that league has worked for you over these years? You

2605
02:04:58,720 --> 02:05:01,600
Speaker 1: know what? I A lot of it is. I mean

2606
02:05:01,640 --> 02:05:04,360
Speaker 1: every maybe every player can say this from where they've

2607
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:06,920
Speaker 1: found a home playing, but a lot of it is. Uh.

2608
02:05:06,960 --> 02:05:09,640
Speaker 1: I got lucky. I have coaches that trust me. I

2609
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 1: was brought up here by Ken Austen and Tommy Condell,

2610
02:05:12,160 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 1: who were my coaches at Cornell, and so when I

2611
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:17,800
Speaker 1: left San Diego, I came up with a coaching staff

2612
02:05:17,840 --> 02:05:19,840
Speaker 1: that had a little bit of trust in me. I

2613
02:05:19,840 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 1: still had to make my spot here. I had to earn,

2614
02:05:22,440 --> 02:05:24,320
Speaker 1: to be earned my way to be a starter and

2615
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:29,640
Speaker 1: to be a part of these teams. But um, I

2616
02:05:29,840 --> 02:05:32,760
Speaker 1: once I felt comfortable with the difference in the in

2617
02:05:32,760 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 1: the way that the game has played. You know, wide

2618
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:37,320
Speaker 1: receivers run towards the line of scrimmage before the snap

2619
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:39,040
Speaker 1: of the ball. Here, the offense is a little bit

2620
02:05:39,080 --> 02:05:42,360
Speaker 1: different on a bigger field. When I got when I

2621
02:05:42,480 --> 02:05:45,120
Speaker 1: learned those things, I started feeling comfortable. I really really

2622
02:05:45,120 --> 02:05:47,480
Speaker 1: felt like I could have a career up here and

2623
02:05:47,560 --> 02:05:50,160
Speaker 1: continue to play, and I was lucky enough to I'm

2624
02:05:50,200 --> 02:05:53,600
Speaker 1: lucky enough to have stayed with one franchise for seven seasons.

2625
02:05:53,640 --> 02:05:56,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I can't even I can't even tell

2626
02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:59,920
Speaker 1: you how how incredible the experience all around would be

2627
02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:02,240
Speaker 1: if we capped this seventh year of mine off with

2628
02:06:02,280 --> 02:06:04,720
Speaker 1: a Great Cup championship. You just hour and a half down.

2629
02:06:04,920 --> 02:06:07,200
Speaker 1: You spend your off seasons back home in East Roar, right,

2630
02:06:07,200 --> 02:06:08,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, in an hour and a half away has

2631
02:06:08,840 --> 02:06:10,200
Speaker 1: got to work for you too. I think being in

2632
02:06:10,280 --> 02:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Hamilton all these years, you know that that's just luck too,

2633
02:06:13,320 --> 02:06:16,040
Speaker 1: because you know, had my had had Ken Austen and

2634
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:20,080
Speaker 1: Tommy Condell been hired by any other CFL team, I

2635
02:06:20,120 --> 02:06:22,960
Speaker 1: would have gone there, you know, given the shot, because

2636
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:25,040
Speaker 1: I knew those guys, and it just so happens that

2637
02:06:25,080 --> 02:06:28,600
Speaker 1: they got a job, you know, closer to my home

2638
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:31,160
Speaker 1: than Cornell is to Buffalo, you know. So it was

2639
02:06:31,160 --> 02:06:33,320
Speaker 1: really incredible. And I've spent so much time there now

2640
02:06:33,360 --> 02:06:36,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, we uh, my wife and my son and

2641
02:06:36,800 --> 02:06:38,920
Speaker 1: I spend have an apartment up here in Hamilton, and

2642
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:41,480
Speaker 1: we spend the seasons here. But the but I've gone

2643
02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:43,400
Speaker 1: back to Buffalo every off season and we've kind of

2644
02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:46,320
Speaker 1: lived this uh dual life for seven years, which has

2645
02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:48,600
Speaker 1: kind of been a real blast. Actually it's it's really

2646
02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:51,080
Speaker 1: it's been fun. Hamilton's a second home for me. How

2647
02:06:51,120 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 1: much long do you want to do it? Well? Maybe

2648
02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:56,280
Speaker 1: until they tell me I can't anymore. I don't know. Yeah,

2649
02:06:56,720 --> 02:06:58,760
Speaker 1: that's the right answer. And it's been a brutal year

2650
02:06:58,800 --> 02:07:00,920
Speaker 1: for me physically. I've just I've been banged up, and

2651
02:07:01,200 --> 02:07:02,680
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm just happy to be back on

2652
02:07:02,680 --> 02:07:05,240
Speaker 1: the field now. But uh, you know, I could I

2653
02:07:05,280 --> 02:07:07,240
Speaker 1: don't even know. I'm not even I'm not even letting

2654
02:07:07,240 --> 02:07:09,200
Speaker 1: myself think about things like that. I just want to

2655
02:07:09,640 --> 02:07:11,440
Speaker 1: if I just want to win a Gray Cup this year.

2656
02:07:12,040 --> 02:07:14,720
Speaker 1: What kind of stadium do they have in Calgary? What's

2657
02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:17,400
Speaker 1: it look like it? Yeah, you know, Murphy, you're just

2658
02:07:17,400 --> 02:07:20,720
Speaker 1: saying about the Olympics that I believe I could be wrong,

2659
02:07:20,760 --> 02:07:23,080
Speaker 1: but I believe this stadium was was built for used

2660
02:07:23,080 --> 02:07:26,280
Speaker 1: by in for the Olympics in Calgary, and uh, it's

2661
02:07:26,320 --> 02:07:28,920
Speaker 1: a it's a substantial building. It's a little dated now,

2662
02:07:28,960 --> 02:07:31,720
Speaker 1: but it you know, something like sixty five thousand people

2663
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:34,960
Speaker 1: and they and it's all about the you know, I've

2664
02:07:34,960 --> 02:07:36,360
Speaker 1: never now I've never played in it for like a

2665
02:07:36,400 --> 02:07:38,600
Speaker 1: neutral event like this, but you know, normally it's it's

2666
02:07:38,600 --> 02:07:41,280
Speaker 1: all about the Calgary Stampeders. You know out there, it's

2667
02:07:41,320 --> 02:07:44,200
Speaker 1: a it's a hometown stadium in in in a football city.

2668
02:07:44,280 --> 02:07:46,760
Speaker 1: You know, the Stampeders have a great I have had

2669
02:07:46,760 --> 02:07:49,080
Speaker 1: a real successful franchise there, so it is a one

2670
02:07:49,120 --> 02:07:53,320
Speaker 1: of it is one of the great football cities in Canada. Um.

2671
02:07:53,360 --> 02:07:55,520
Speaker 1: But they'll have a decked out, you know, all sort

2672
02:07:55,560 --> 02:07:58,240
Speaker 1: of neutral, you know, great Cup style this year, and

2673
02:07:58,280 --> 02:08:00,440
Speaker 1: it is a it'll be a great venue. You think

2674
02:08:00,440 --> 02:08:02,680
Speaker 1: there'll be many folks from Hamilton making that long trip

2675
02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:04,440
Speaker 1: out west. I know there'll be some from me Easter roar,

2676
02:08:04,520 --> 02:08:07,760
Speaker 1: but what about Hamilton's Everyone I've passed and talked to

2677
02:08:07,880 --> 02:08:09,720
Speaker 1: for the last two days has guaranteed me they're going

2678
02:08:09,800 --> 02:08:12,200
Speaker 1: to be there. If everyone, if no one's lying there,

2679
02:08:12,200 --> 02:08:14,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one hundred thousand Hamilton fans there. So

2680
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:18,800
Speaker 1: we'll see. But yeah, I'm I'm telling you for the

2681
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:22,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo fans, the Buffalo area, the Bills fans would really get,

2682
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:24,919
Speaker 1: would really have an appreciation for the way that Hamilton

2683
02:08:25,240 --> 02:08:29,480
Speaker 1: comes out for their franchise team because man, the like

2684
02:08:29,480 --> 02:08:31,000
Speaker 1: I said, it's been a one hundred and fifty years

2685
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:33,520
Speaker 1: of football in this city and they and it is

2686
02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:35,720
Speaker 1: really really part of the identity of the city. The

2687
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:38,840
Speaker 1: fans are ecstatic the last Great Cup. So we've won

2688
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:41,640
Speaker 1: fifteen in franchise history and the last one is ninety nine.

2689
02:08:41,720 --> 02:08:44,120
Speaker 1: So twenty years ago was the last Great Cup and

2690
02:08:44,480 --> 02:08:48,320
Speaker 1: they are we are hurting for another Great Cup. It's time. Well.

2691
02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:50,440
Speaker 1: One of the things too about this Calgary Great Cup

2692
02:08:50,560 --> 02:08:52,160
Speaker 1: is coming up. And one of the things and the

2693
02:08:52,200 --> 02:08:54,200
Speaker 1: ones that I went to, the thing that got me

2694
02:08:54,200 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 1: about it was when you go to a Super Bowl

2695
02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:58,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's about the two teams in it,

2696
02:08:58,320 --> 02:09:00,440
Speaker 1: like for instance, you know this last year was about

2697
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots and whoever was they play, and the Rams.

2698
02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:07,200
Speaker 1: It was about those two teams. But in the Gray Cup.

2699
02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:10,640
Speaker 1: The one thing that struck me all the cities, every

2700
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:13,440
Speaker 1: team in the Gray Cup is represented. All the fans

2701
02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:18,480
Speaker 1: show up. Um, there's as many jerseys from every team

2702
02:09:18,520 --> 02:09:20,400
Speaker 1: as there are for the two teams that are actually

2703
02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:23,200
Speaker 1: playing in And I thought that was really interesting. I

2704
02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:24,960
Speaker 1: found that to be true as well. Last year I

2705
02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:28,360
Speaker 1: was at the Gray Cup in Edmonton between Calgary and Ottawa,

2706
02:09:28,520 --> 02:09:31,680
Speaker 1: and I was there for like a for promotional things,

2707
02:09:31,680 --> 02:09:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, for the league, and there was like three

2708
02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:39,480
Speaker 1: uh tie cat bars, so like for the whole weekend,

2709
02:09:39,800 --> 02:09:42,160
Speaker 1: it's just tie cat fans in these in these venues

2710
02:09:42,200 --> 02:09:43,640
Speaker 1: and that, and we weren't even in the Gray Cup.

2711
02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really unbelievable. And then you see people.

2712
02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I've met so many people who have like been to

2713
02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:51,440
Speaker 1: every Gray Cup for the last twenty five years. It's,

2714
02:09:51,520 --> 02:09:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, some story like that that they have, you know,

2715
02:09:54,440 --> 02:09:57,000
Speaker 1: and that's that's whether their teams playing or not. And

2716
02:09:57,040 --> 02:09:59,360
Speaker 1: so they have all the teams there will have their

2717
02:09:59,400 --> 02:10:01,600
Speaker 1: locations where their fans can meet up. It really is

2718
02:10:01,640 --> 02:10:04,600
Speaker 1: like a national holiday almost. Hey Luke, before we cut

2719

02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:38,840
Speaker 1: on the line with us, getting set to head to

2732
02:10:38,840 --> 02:10:41,880
Speaker 1: Calgary for the for the Great Cup. Hamilton Tiger hits

2733
02:10:41,920 --> 02:10:44,640
Speaker 1: Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Calgary Sunday. What do we figure

2734
02:10:44,640 --> 02:10:48,160
Speaker 1: six o'clock Eastern time Sunday? Right, Yeah, so I can

2735
02:10:48,240 --> 02:10:50,600
Speaker 1: watch that. It's certainly I think it's probably on ESPN

2736
02:10:50,600 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 1: and that would think right, ESPN or ESPN two or

2737
02:10:53,560 --> 02:10:56,640
Speaker 1: ESPN News or ESPN plus one of those two. Imagine

2738
02:10:56,640 --> 02:10:58,520
Speaker 1: it'll be on the two duced or whatever. But it's

2739
02:10:58,520 --> 02:11:01,280
Speaker 1: all you can get it on virch. Every single Canadian

2740
02:11:01,280 --> 02:11:04,600
Speaker 1: Football League game is on that platform, same place. You

2745
02:11:17,080 --> 02:11:19,400
Speaker 1: coming back with more. One Bill's Life presented by Kalida

2746
02:11:19,480 --> 02:11:22,400
Speaker 1: Health from the Senecas Studio in Orchard Park on Buffalo

2747
02:11:22,440 --> 02:11:34,720
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. What do we learn from today's show is

2748
02:11:34,760 --> 02:11:38,160
Speaker 1: brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2749
02:11:38,200 --> 02:11:40,200
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. We had Everyboddy Kyle Brandt

2750
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:43,240
Speaker 1: on the show from NFL Network earlier on today. He's

2751
02:11:43,280 --> 02:11:45,680
Speaker 1: the co host of Good Morning Football. He was looking

2752
02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:48,120
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen to impress him against the Dolphins, and

2753
02:11:48,280 --> 02:11:50,720
Speaker 1: it sounds like he was impressive. To Kyle brand here's

2754
02:11:50,720 --> 02:11:54,400
Speaker 1: what he said. There's a long way to go, for sure,

2755
02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:58,720
Speaker 1: because there's some there's some really really scary dogs in

2756
02:11:58,760 --> 02:12:01,080
Speaker 1: the FC right now. It's one who plays for Baltimore,

2757
02:12:01,120 --> 02:12:03,680
Speaker 1: one who plays for New England. But listen, I think

2758
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:06,600
Speaker 1: the takeaway after this week for Buffalo was, Yeah, but

2759
02:12:06,880 --> 02:12:10,640
Speaker 1: it was Miami who cares. That's a division opponents, That's

2760
02:12:10,640 --> 02:12:13,080
Speaker 1: a team that played them tough the first time around.

2761
02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:15,880
Speaker 1: And sometimes you got to just have a sparring partner

2762
02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:18,400
Speaker 1: that you can just land some haymakers on. I listen,

2763
02:12:18,720 --> 02:12:20,920
Speaker 1: start to finish. I thought it was Josh Ellen's best

2764
02:12:20,920 --> 02:12:23,720
Speaker 1: game of his career. It wasn't only that he was efficient,

2765
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:27,680
Speaker 1: and the numbers great. He just looked confident, He looked comfortable,

2766
02:12:27,960 --> 02:12:30,120
Speaker 1: And yes, Miami's d is terrible, but I don't care.

2767
02:12:30,160 --> 02:12:32,280
Speaker 1: That's exactly what you should do to a terrible D

2768
02:12:32,640 --> 02:12:35,160
Speaker 1: is absolutely light them up. It was my favorite game

2769
02:12:35,160 --> 02:12:38,960
Speaker 1: of business, my young favorite. Dawson knock scored, John Brown

2770
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:41,680
Speaker 1: looked like more than just a deep threat. It was really,

2771
02:12:41,720 --> 02:12:44,080
Speaker 1: really a good day. And yes they played a poor team,

2772
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:46,040
Speaker 1: but they beat them by a lot, which exactly what

2773
02:12:46,040 --> 02:12:48,640
Speaker 1: you should do, I thought. Josh Allen, he bites, he bites,

2774
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:52,280
Speaker 1: and I love it. Josh Ellen bites, and I love it. Hey,

2775
02:12:52,280 --> 02:12:53,600
Speaker 1: we had a good Twitter poll today. I think it

2776
02:12:53,640 --> 02:12:55,960
Speaker 1: was pretty good one talking about what the Bills accomplished

2777
02:12:56,280 --> 02:12:59,280
Speaker 1: offensively against the Dolphins and how do they carry that forward.

2778
02:12:59,320 --> 02:13:01,440
Speaker 1: So that was a question today, what did you see

2779
02:13:01,480 --> 02:13:04,120
Speaker 1: from the Buffalo Bills offense that you think they need

2780
02:13:04,120 --> 02:13:06,880
Speaker 1: to sustain moving forward? And on Twitter we got pretty

2781
02:13:06,880 --> 02:13:09,600
Speaker 1: good response. The biggest factor for the Bills offense to

2782
02:13:09,640 --> 02:13:13,040
Speaker 1: sustain success moving forward into the final games? Almost half

2783
02:13:13,040 --> 02:13:15,720
Speaker 1: of you forty eight percent say just continue going, no

2784
02:13:15,800 --> 02:13:19,000
Speaker 1: huddle up tempo. Thirty six percent say keep Josh versatile,

2785
02:13:19,040 --> 02:13:21,640
Speaker 1: let him run, Let him throw, eleven percent say just

2786
02:13:21,760 --> 02:13:24,440
Speaker 1: keep it simple, and six percent have something else in mind.

2787
02:13:24,440 --> 02:13:26,440
Speaker 1: You okay with those results from a thousand voters, I

2788
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:28,840
Speaker 1: guess yeah, we have no I mean we accept the

2789
02:13:28,840 --> 02:13:31,400
Speaker 1: mandate of the voters. Yeah, deep tempo was a big

2790
02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:33,960
Speaker 1: thing this last weekend. I think Josh, I mean, he's

2791
02:13:33,960 --> 02:13:36,120
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for your team. He's a young player

2792
02:13:36,120 --> 02:13:38,880
Speaker 1: who's getting better. He certainly think everything's going to center

2793
02:13:38,880 --> 02:13:42,880
Speaker 1: around his development. He's getting better and we're seeing things

2794
02:13:42,920 --> 02:13:46,160
Speaker 1: to watch out for for him pre snap post snap.

2795
02:13:46,200 --> 02:13:47,800
Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch him and we'll see if

2796
02:13:47,840 --> 02:13:49,720
Speaker 1: he can continue to grow. They're back on the practice

2797
