1 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields. 2 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: player for State. Steve a blimp. We're not even in 4 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: the strated beer of normalcy. All right, here we go, 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: let's get it rolling on a Tuesday. Chris Brown, Maddi 6 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: clab with you, she's in for Steve Tasker and uh. 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: We slowly turned the page to Week three, Washington on 8 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: the docket, but not before there are some players on 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: the Bill's roster that are getting some notoriety for their 10 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: exploits in last week's game, most notably the defense Maddie 11 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 1: deservedly so. Um. But before we get to that man, 12 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: last night, the weather, my god, it was perfect, Like 13 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: you could have gone out at like nine thirty ten pm. 14 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: It was one of those like sleep outside nights. That's 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: what's the I love the weather this timing year when 16 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: it gets like that, And of course come later in 17 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: the week, it's going to be a bear and it's 18 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: going to completely flip over the rain and everything. But 19 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: did you get outside last night? It was unbelievable. I did. 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: I actually went for a walk around seven thirty and 21 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: it was the first time I stepped outside because I'm 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: doing the chauffeur from home right now, and so I 23 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: stepped outside and I was like, oh my gosh, it 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: feels so nice and warm outside. So went for a walk, 25 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: took advantage of that, and then while I was walking, 26 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: was thinking like, this is probably one of the last 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: nice weather nights that we're going to get before the 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: weather starts to turn a little bit cold. So trying 29 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: to take advantage, squeeze every ounce of the weather that 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: we're going to get this week out of it that 31 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: we can, because fall is coming. Yeah, I mean at 32 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: least in terms of being able to walk outside in 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: shorts and a T shirt. I mean, those days aren't numbered, 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: as we well know. And as I said, there's some 35 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: front coming across the country and it's gonna blowing all 36 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: kinds of rain and then everything's dropping into the sixties 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: and fifties and hopefully hopefully not lower than that. I'm 38 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: known if I'm ready yet, but it's coming. But yeah, 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: and I've got another story to tell about something that 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: happened to me last night, but I'm gonna save it 41 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: for the second hour of our show. And we have 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Branton because there's a tie in there that's worth 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: waiting on, so we'll get to that in the second 44 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: hour of the show. Yes, Kyle Brandt back for another 45 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: season with us here on one Bills Live on Tuesdays, 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: so we look forward to speaking with him in the 47 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: second hour of the show. He just wrapped up his 48 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: angry Run segment this week, and he had a reason 49 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: why Zach Moss's angry run for a touchdown at the 50 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: end of the game on Sunday was disqualified from the competition, 51 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: so we can get into that with him as well. 52 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: But you look at the Bills defense and what they 53 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: were able to do with their pass rush, Maddie Cynthia 54 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: Freelance covering him on her defensive next Gen stats piece. 55 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: We've got him in the weekly release this week because 56 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: aj Epinessa had nine quarter back pressures in one game. 57 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: But you know what went by the board the fact 58 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: that Greg Russeau had seven quarterback pressures with two sacks, 59 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: and then Matt Milano, who I know you and I 60 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday for his performance in the game, had six 61 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: quarterback pressures and they were like three other guys with 62 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: at least four, And I guess to sum it up, quarterback. 63 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: Pressures count as hurrying the quarterback, hitting the quarterback, or 64 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: sacking the quarterback. So pretty good. Oh no, I don't 65 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: think it counts sacks. It counts hits and hurries. But yeah, 66 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: because Russeau had seven pressures in two sacks. But you 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: want to talk about a total team effort. And I 68 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: know you listened to the coordinators yesterday when they addressed 69 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: the media. Anything that stood out for you from coach 70 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Frasier about the defensive performance. I think one thing that's 71 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: stood out to me, And I'll go back to right 72 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: after the game when Sean McDermott was asked about the 73 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: defensive line performance. Sean McDermott. We know how he is 74 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: and we know how he talks, and he's usually not 75 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: one till really praise a position group because of course 76 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: there's always things that can be done to make them better. 77 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: And he was asked about, you know, this group had 78 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: six sacks. What did you think? And they tied it 79 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: to the comment that he said going into the season 80 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: of this group has been talked about enough. They just 81 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: need to go out there and work. And so when 82 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: they had six sacks, he said, yeah, that was a 83 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: good number. I liked what they did. So just to 84 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: get the praise of your head coach like that, after 85 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: he said enough has been said about them, they just 86 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: need to actually go out there and do the work. 87 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: I think meant a lot coming from your head coach 88 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: and Leslie Fraser at one thing that stood out to me. 89 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: He was asking, you know, was this team really about 90 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: this game plan this week? Did they really like the 91 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: game plan heading into the Miami Dolphins game? And I 92 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: like that he said, you know, by Thursday, I could 93 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: I could tell that our guys had a really good 94 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: handle on the game plan. And he said, you know, 95 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: we always have a good game plan to go against 96 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: whatever type of offense we're going to face. But the 97 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: thing was in this case was that we executed in 98 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: almost every facet of the game plan. The blitzes that 99 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: were dialed up from your corners, from your safeties, from 100 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: your linebackers. Those guys hit on their blitzes and we're 101 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: able to affect the quarterback. That doesn't happen every single game. 102 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: So I think a lot went right in terms of 103 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: the game plan that they had, and it turned into 104 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: a game that a lot of the defensive players loved 105 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: to play. In because they executed on so many levels 106 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: of that game plan that was in place. Yeah, and 107 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: we will hear from coach Frazier as well as Brian Dable, 108 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: both of whom addressed the media after we went off 109 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: the air late yesterday afternoon, So we'll get you some 110 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: of their comments, including a very interesting comment from coach 111 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: Dable on Josh Allen and how critically is of his 112 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: own play that I thought was very interesting. So we'll 113 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: have all that for you in the next segment, probably 114 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: about minutes or so from now, and we'll bring those 115 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: two you at that point in time. There's a couple 116 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: of interesting news and notes around the NFL, Maddie. First 117 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: of all, Tyrod Taylor officially out for Houston's Thursday night 118 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: game against Carolina, So it's gonna be rookie Davis Mills, 119 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: the Stanford product who was going to start for them. 120 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: He came on in relief last week. But the quarterback 121 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: injuries are already racking up in the league. And I 122 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: just saw today that Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Tomlin revealed has 123 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: a left pectoral muscle injury, and he said it is 124 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: going to affect Ben's preparation for the week, which probably 125 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: means he's going to miss some practice time between Wednesday, 126 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday. Who knows when or if he'll be limited, 127 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: But that's notable. You know, you look at the Steelers. 128 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: The Bills played him week one when they were fresh 129 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: as a daisy. It's two weeks later and they're like 130 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: a mash unit. T J. Watt's got a groin injury. 131 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: Ben's now got a peck injury. The sea he was 132 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: playing the Steelers after the first month of the season, 133 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: that's when their easiest to beat. Yeah, you have a 134 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger who is nearing the end of 135 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: his career. This could be his last season in the NFL. 136 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: We know he was out with an injury in years 137 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: prior where he missed the entire season. He's not a 138 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: quarterback who's going to be as a lethal I guess 139 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: in terms of what he can take on from injuries 140 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: as a guy like Josh Allen or some of your 141 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: younger quarterbacks. And I remember watching our Dolphins game this 142 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: past week and I was getting updates as our game 143 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: was going on, like t J. Watt is now questionable 144 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: to return or t J. Watt just got injured. I'm 145 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: thinking if this would have only happened, I don't want 146 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: players to get injured, but you know, t J. Watt 147 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: comes out of the game, your chances to have some 148 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: drives and score or get in the red zone, whatever, 149 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: they increase when a guy like that comes out of 150 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, Packers Lions was the Monday night game, 151 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: as we all know, won by the Packers as they 152 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: turned it on in the second half and when going 153 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: away thirty five to seventeen. Did you watch any of 154 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: the Manning cast Maddie between Eli and Peyton. Yes, I did. 155 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: I actually turned it on because I didn't watch it 156 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: last week, so I wanted to check it out hear 157 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: what they were all about. I tuned in when Gronk 158 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: was on with them and a little bit for Brett 159 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: Farve and Gronk was just hilarious. I think Peyton teed 160 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: him up to like a play that had just happened 161 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: on the field, and Gronk wasn't paying attention at all 162 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: to what play had just happened. He was like, so, Gronk, 163 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: what did you think about that? The way they kind 164 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: of dialed it up for a tight end or whatever. 165 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: He was saying, and Gronk was like, oh, yeah, that 166 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: was beautiful, just a wonderful play. Really like that play. 167 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: And Peyton was like, Gronk, that was just the best 168 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: way to break down what I just through to you. 169 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: So thanks for paying attention to what I'm trying to say. Yeah, 170 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: he basically said, ELI take it from here. After that 171 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: scintillating analysis from Gronk, Gronk, You've got a great future. 172 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: And then Gronk's like, oh no, I don't want to 173 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: do it. I don't want to be an analyst. I 174 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: just want to be on the pregame or the postgame desk, 175 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, say a couple of comments and then be 176 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: done and watch the game. I was like, holy cow. 177 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: And the other thing that shocked me was they asked 178 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: him point blank do you watch film or He said 179 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: that he was talking to Cameron Brad, his teammate tight 180 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: end to Tampa, and Cameron Brad asked him do you 181 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: watch film? And he said, I've never watched film. I 182 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: just go out and play the game. Now, I don't 183 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: know if I completely believe that, but I'm just thinking 184 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: of the conversation. Okay between Cameron Brad, who was a 185 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: Harvard graduate and Gronk, who is probably the antithesis of 186 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: IVY League. Nothing against University Arizona, but holy cow, like, 187 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: never watch tape. I don't know if I believe that completely. 188 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: I almost wonder if Gronk is just being dumb like 189 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: a fox, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, 190 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. You gotta watch tape when you're in meetings. 191 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: So he definitely does watch tape, but honestly on his 192 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: own time. At this point in his career, when he 193 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: took a year hiatus off of football, I would not 194 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: be shocked if he doesn't really turn on any tape 195 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: on his own time, and that Brady just tosses him 196 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: the rock sometimes. I mean, he had a great game 197 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: this week. But Gronk doesn't strike me as the guy 198 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: who's gonna spend a lot of time looking at film 199 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: dissecting the opponent, spending all of his free time doing that. 200 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: Gronk is the type of guy's like, all right, I'm 201 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: gonna do my team meetings, I'm gonna do my positional meetings, 202 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna, you know, have my free time 203 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: at night to do whatever I want to do. Gronk 204 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: is like a social butterfly. To me, I don't know him, 205 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: but that's kind of how I look at him as 206 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: a maybe social butterfly, as guys that like to do 207 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: stuff during the week or whatever, don't watch as much takee. 208 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: I just see him. Yeah, I'm never gonna accuse him 209 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: of overthinking a player or anything. I'm just gonna go 210 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: out and play. And he's so physically gifted that more 211 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: often than not, that's probably worked very well for him 212 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: in his very lengthy career. We mentioned some Bill's defensive 213 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: players getting some recognition. I mentioned a few. Greg Rousseau 214 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: also is up for NFL Rookie of the Week for 215 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: his performance in Week two, which included the first two 216 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: sacks of his NFL career. It's going up against some 217 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: decent competition here, though, Maddie. Here's the pool, Okay, so 218 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: let me know what you think. Adafe Oway who had 219 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: the big fumble, forced fumble and fumble recovery to kind 220 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: of seal the win over Kansas City for Baltimore. Najie Harris, 221 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: who we know had the angry run of the week 222 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: and kind of carried the Steeler's offense in a loss. 223 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: Rondel Moore the Arizona Cardinals receiver who was wide open 224 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown for Arizona's comeback win over Minnesota. Peyton 225 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: Turner the defensive end for New Orleans and I'm not 226 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: going to pretend to know what he did this past week, 227 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: but he's on the list, and then the Chargers rookie 228 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: corner Asante Samuel Junior. So I think he's got a 229 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: good look at this. Certainly probably made the singular play 230 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: of the week among this group, but in terms of 231 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: start to finish performance, I think Russo has got a 232 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: good shot at this. I think he does too. I 233 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: mean two sacks, he was a part of the entire game, 234 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: played the most snaps out of the defensive line, and 235 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: affected the game in a good way for the Bills. 236 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, I was watching the game with OA and 237 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: I saw both of those plays that he made. So 238 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: I think he had some tough contenders to go up 239 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: against this week because you listed some pretty good performers 240 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: from week two. We'll have to see if he wins 241 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: this week. If he doesn't win this week, I'm thinking 242 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: he'll get it another week because if he's playing the 243 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: way he is through two weeks of the season, He's 244 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: just going to keep getting better. Here is the great 245 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: equalizer for Rousseau and maybe an advantage that is an 246 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: award that is voted on by fans. So Bills fans, 247 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: you can go to Buffalo Bills dot com. There is 248 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: a link there on the Greg Rousseau story as to 249 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: where you can go to vote for him for Rookie 250 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: of the Week for his performance in Week two, two sacks, 251 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: five tackles, including I think two for loss. He also 252 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: had seven quarterback pressures, so good for him on that. Tua, 253 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: who as we know, left the game early, is still 254 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: being listed as day to day after the hitt he 255 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: took from a JP Andesa. Bruised ribs, no cartilage damage, 256 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: no broken ribs, thankfully for him. But anybody that's had 257 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: a rib injury, they're going to be sore for quite 258 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: some time. And do you want to bowse him to 259 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: future hits? Knowing how troublesome the play and consistency of 260 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: his offensive line has been through the first two weeks, 261 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: I think you got to you probably gotta go with 262 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: Brissette this week because they're going against a Raiders defensive 263 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: front that has been very impressive through the first two 264 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: weeks and not to mention they're playing on the road 265 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: where crowd noise is going to be an issue. Maybe 266 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: they don't hear the snap count, silent count confusion. I mean, 267 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: it could happen. So man, I don't know, I'd be 268 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: going with Brissette this week. Yeah, I think I'd stick 269 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: with Brissette too. I feel bad for two it because 270 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: he's someone who early on in his career, people are 271 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: questioning his toughness and questioning if he's made out for 272 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: the NFL with how he can sustain hits and things 273 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: like that, because now he has the rib injury. He 274 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: had that big injury in college football. So I just 275 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: feel bad that early on in his career people are 276 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: wondering if he's tough enough to play in the sport. 277 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: And I know his head coach had to stick up 278 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: for him. I'm flores and saying, you know, this kid 279 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: is tough enough. He's just been dealing with some unfortunate 280 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: circumstances with injuries. But he's making these injuries up. These 281 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: are actually real and this is you know why he's out. 282 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: So hopefully he can get back to it and get 283 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: back in the game at some point early on in 284 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: this season. Okay, so that's that. There was one other 285 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: tiny note to mention. Indeed, Kant Kabala was reporting that 286 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: free agent defensive end Taco Charlton is in Pittsburgh today. 287 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: He's taking a physical. Provided he passes, it's expected that 288 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: he is going to be signed to the Steelers practice squad. 289 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: So some veteran insurance for them, I guess in the 290 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: event that t J. Watt can't come back from that 291 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: groin injury and play this week for them. Want to 292 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: get into the Twitter conversation that we're going to have 293 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: today for the next couple of hours. Should the Bills 294 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: continue to employ a more balanced attack with their offense? 295 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: We saw it was virtually fifty fifty last week Maddie 296 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: thirty three passes thirty runs, and it was effective and 297 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: the run game kind of helped make up for maybe 298 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: some inconsistencies in the passing game. So we'd like to 299 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: know from you eight oh three oh five fifty one 300 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: eighty eight five fifty two five fifty what do you 301 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: think about the Bills more balanced attack with their offense 302 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: this past week and should it continue? You can also 303 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: hit us up on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live. 304 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: It's a simply asked or no question. If you want 305 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: to throw in why we'll take that as well. What 306 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: did you think first of all, of the balanced attack, Maddie, 307 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: and then second, where do you think it should go 308 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: from here? I like that they're trying a more balanced attack, 309 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: and I know every time our offensive coordinator Brian day 310 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: Ball is asked about the balance of this offense and 311 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: if it's going to be a balanced offense or if 312 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: they're going to pass the ball more, he always goes 313 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: back to it depends on the game plan. It depends 314 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: on the defense we're facing. If we're going to face 315 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: a defense with a really strong defense upfront, maybe that's 316 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: not the case. Maybe we're going to be more of 317 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: an air raid offense that game. So I know it's 318 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: really game to game, but I like the fact that 319 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: early on in the season, this run game is looking 320 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: better than it did last season. Right now, the Bills 321 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: are ranked six running the football. They ranked higher in 322 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: the run versus the pass at this point. I know 323 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has kind of struggled to get into a 324 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: rhythm with his receivers through the first two weeks, but 325 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: at least the run game has been showing up, and 326 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: their yards per average per rush is pretty good as well. 327 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: I can't remember off the time my head, but I 328 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: think it's over four yards per carry or something like that. 329 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: But I like the fact that they're doing this now. 330 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: I know it's not going to be an every week thing, 331 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: and it will be depending on the opponents that they face, 332 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: but you might as well get something like this down 333 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: now and down pat early on in the season and 334 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: have it be working so that when you are passing 335 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: the ball more, when this offense is in a rhythm 336 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: with its wide receivers and they do go kind of 337 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: back to their old ways of twenty twenty one, that 338 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: they can go back to the run when they need to. 339 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: That was the issue last season. It was when we 340 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: needed to rely on the run, it didn't show up. 341 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,239 Speaker 1: So the fact that it's showing up right now, I 342 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: think is good for what could happen down the road. Yeah, 343 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: they're averaging four point seven to carry through the first 344 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: two games. Obviously that's helped by a twenty five yard 345 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: run by Singletary in week one and then the forty 346 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: six yard touchdown in week two, but still, I mean, 347 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: they all count including the ones that go for losses. 348 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: So if you're going to take out the big ones, 349 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: take out the ones for a loss too. So yeah, 350 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: and sixth in the league in rushing right now, I 351 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: look at it this way. I'm encouraged because when they 352 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: had to use the run game last week, it was 353 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: able to help them. It wasn't just a throw in, 354 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There are times last year 355 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: where they tried to turn to the run game and 356 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: it just flat out didn't work, and they almost had 357 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: to keep doing it to a point, and then it 358 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: got to a point where Brian Dable said, screw it, 359 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: We're just going to throw all the time on first down. 360 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: And at the end of the year, the Bills threw 361 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: on first down more than any other team in football 362 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: because the run game wasn't effective enough. But you look 363 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: at last week's game specifically, and two of the biggest 364 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: offseason priorities that this team had to make themselves better 365 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: was one, improved the pass rush and two be a 366 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: more effective team at running the football, not necessarily use 367 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: that as their offensive identity, but be more effective when 368 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: they do decide to run. And I thought they checked 369 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: both of those boxes last week, and both parts of 370 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: that of their game that we just talked about were instrumental. 371 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: And then posting the victory. I mean there were other 372 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: reasons too, but those were two chief components to the 373 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: win last week. So I'm encouraged by it. Do I 374 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: want to see it continue? I think it's an as 375 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: needed basis. Let me know that it's there when I 376 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: need to use it. And this might be a week 377 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: coming up, Maddie where they do have to use it again, 378 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: if not for anything, just to keep this very ultra 379 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: talented defensive front from really getting after Josh and causing problems. 380 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: You could make the argument that this front four defensively 381 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: for Washington this week is even more talented across the 382 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: board than the Pittsburgh front is. And it's not just 383 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: because they're all first round picks. They're all first round 384 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: picks for a reason, obviously, But those four guys, I 385 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: think I would take them over Pittsburgh's four guys, even 386 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: though Pittsburgh probably has the single best player of the 387 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: eight in t J. Watt, not that Chase Young is 388 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: far off, but collectively, I think Washington's four man front 389 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: is better than Pittsburgh. So you say to yourself. Well, 390 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: if you can run the ball, then maybe you kind 391 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: of keep them at bay a little bit in terms 392 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: of getting after Josh and I watch a little bit 393 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: of Washington's game last week, Maddie against the Giants. The 394 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: Giants did have open up some holes in the running game. 395 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: So I think it's a realistic possibility. I just don't 396 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: want to see it necessarily every week because I think 397 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: we all agree that even though the passing game is sputtered, 398 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: that it's still probably going to carry the day. Is 399 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: the identity of the Bill's offense this year? Yeah, I 400 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: mean the identity is not to run the football. The 401 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: identity is to pass the football. The Bills have a 402 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: quarterback in Josh Allen who is really good at passing 403 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: a football last year. They're not going to go away 404 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 1: from his strengths. He's your dual threat guy who can 405 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: also take it on his own. So some of those 406 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: runs that a team may give to a running back, 407 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: they're going to give to Josh Allen because he does 408 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: have that dual threat ability to take the football when 409 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: he needs to, whether they're designed runs or whether Josh 410 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: sees something open up on his own and goes for 411 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: a first down as the pockets collapsing. But yeah, I mean, 412 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: I agree, it's it's nice and it's good that this 413 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: run game is providing an impact right now in a 414 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: positive way, because if they go away from it, hopefully 415 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: when they go back to it, it's going to be 416 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: the same. It's not going to be something like it 417 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: was last year where you're seeing us hand the ball 418 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: off to Devin Singletary four times in a row and 419 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't really gain any yards and you're wondering, why 420 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: are we even running the ball right now? Because that 421 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: happened sometimes last season when you know, in the middle 422 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: of the game, you're on Twitter checking out what fans 423 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: are saying, and fans are like, why are we running 424 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: the football? We should be passing the football, And then 425 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: we go to throwing the football, and it's why aren't 426 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: we running the football? We only pass the football. So 427 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad that Devin and Zach have had this impact 428 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: throughout the first two weeks, and hopefully it continues down 429 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: the stretch. I mean, we need a tough running back 430 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: in Zach Moss. I think this team missed that in 431 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs when he went out with that ankle injury 432 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: and ended his season early. I think he is a 433 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: different type of threat. When it comes to the weapons 434 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: that we have on this team. I agree that Devin 435 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: Singletary also provides that. I love that these two running 436 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: backs can also catch the football. That's very important to 437 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: this offense to give them those screen looks things like 438 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: that that help open up the field to see some holes, 439 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. I believe that they 440 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: can add to the game in a lot of different ways. 441 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: And what they were able to do in the off 442 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: season two Zach was rehabbing he is now healthy. Devin 443 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: Singletary adding those pounds, working on his speed. I mean, 444 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: these are all positive things that can help your offense 445 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: improve as a whole and add wrinkles to it. That's 446 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: what you want to do this year. This team has 447 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: been studied by every single defense. They know what they 448 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: were good at last year. Defenses are probably going to 449 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: shut some of that stuff down that the Bills continue 450 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: to do, so you're going to have to rely on 451 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: other things at time in a run game or Devin 452 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: Singleton and Zach Moss, their strengths add that different wrinkle, 453 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: add something that maybe defenses haven't seen on tape in 454 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: a year or so. Let's get to the tweet sheet, which, 455 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: as we know, is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, 456 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. See 457 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: what you guys think about whether the Bill should continue 458 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: to employ a more balanced attack with their offense. Jack 459 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: leads us off today and says, yes, but only if 460 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: the d is playing light in the box, allowing the 461 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: Bill's ground game to run, including using Allen's legs. Do 462 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: what works until they stop it and force you to 463 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: change it. But that's it. I still want the offense 464 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: to take shots and be aggressive, get the ball to 465 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: Cole and Steph. I mean, this was a team last year, 466 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: Maddie that threw at sixty one percent of the time 467 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: and ran at forty nine percent of the time. They 468 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: were in like, I want to say that top eight 469 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: if memory serves, or top five in terms of pass 470 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: to run percentages. So they were a heavy pass team 471 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: as we know. But if they're fifty eight and forty two, 472 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean, is it going to be demonstrably different? Probably not, 473 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: but that might mean an extra couple of games that 474 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: kind of like we saw last week where it is 475 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: close to fifty fifty to kind of even out the 476 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: percentages or bring them a little closer together. But I'm 477 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: looking at Washington twenty third against the run through two 478 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: games and twenty fourth against the pass. It looks, at 479 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: least on paper, like there could be opportunities for both 480 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: parts of the offense. Yeah, I mean, I think so. 481 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: You're you look at this Washington football team and they 482 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: have a really good defensive line for a lot of reasons. 483 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: There's some high draft picks, but the fact that they 484 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: were drafted high has also shown up on the field 485 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: for this group, and there are two weeks you could 486 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: look at their stats and be like, I don't know 487 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: about those defense They're, like you said, ring twenty third 488 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: against run, Ring twenty fourth against the paths. They're allowing 489 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: forty nine points a game at this point, but they 490 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: blitz at the second highest rate right now, doing at 491 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: forty two and a half percent of the time, which 492 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: is a lot, but there's also going to be some 493 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: holes and maybe some opportunities. They're really good in the 494 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: red zone so far, they're only allowing touchdowns thirty three 495 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: percent of the time, but then they're terrible right now 496 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,959 Speaker 1: against third downs. They let a lot of teams convert 497 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: third downs. They ranked thirtieth, allowing teams to do that 498 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: almost sixty percent of the times. So I think this 499 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: is a defense where this offense is going to be 500 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: able to find some holes. The Giants, like you said, 501 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: the Giants were able to find those holes and score points, 502 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: put points on the scoreboard. I mean, the Washington football 503 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: team is allowing forty nine points a game right now. 504 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: That's a little bit crazy, But I know scoring has 505 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: also been up in the league, so we'll have to see. 506 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: But I do think this is a defense that you 507 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: might be able to get through in different types of ways. 508 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: Whereas the Pittsburgh Steelers, it's, you know, they're just a tough, 509 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: stout defense and T. J. Watt is a really hard 510 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: defender to get by in the way that he does 511 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,479 Speaker 1: his work on the field that confuses a lot of offenses. Yeah, 512 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: so I really think the key to the game, though, 513 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: is going to be the play of Buffalo's offensive line. 514 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they still had a couple of hiccups last week, 515 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: certainly far fewer than in Week one. They're going to 516 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: be tested in this game from start to finish. Whether 517 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: it's some of the Blitz packages that you mentioned, or 518 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: whether it's just that Front four Russian Adam, They're going 519 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: to have their hands full for sure, So they got 520 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: to come to the game with their A game, as 521 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: they often say. Before we get to break here to 522 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: remind you that Wegmans is teaming up with the Buffalo 523 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: Bills Foundation to help fight hunger in Western New York. 524 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: From September twentieth to the twenty third, that's this week, 525 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: Wegman's will donate five dollars for every meals to Go 526 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: order to Huddle for Hunger, which helps provide meals to 527 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: those in need in our community. So use the meals 528 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: to Go app or visit meals to Go dot com 529 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: to order all your favorites pizza, subs wing, sushi, and 530 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: more and help them reach their goal of raising fifty 531 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Place your weans meals to Go orders this 532 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: week to support a great cause. Because tackling hunger in 533 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: our region takes teamwork and us all working together. Mattie 534 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: and I are going to take a break here, but 535 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: when we come back. We've got some comments from both 536 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: Brian Dable and Leslie Frasier on some of the more 537 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: notable performances in Sunday's Week to Win Long with some 538 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: other interesting comments from them. It's the coordinators coming up 539 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: next here on One Bills Line present a collut of health. 540 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live. 541 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Maddi glab with you as we pressed forward 542 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: here in our number one got Kyle Brand from NFL 543 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: Network joining us in the second hour of the show, 544 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: and we did want to get to some comments from 545 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: the coaches. The coordinators addressed the media yesterday, both Leslie 546 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: Fraser and Brian Dabele, and had some interesting comments. So 547 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: we wanted to bring some of their more notable comments 548 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: to you, and we start with Brian Dabele, who is 549 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: addressing the very subject we're talking about today. Should the 550 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: Bill's offensive game plan remain balanced or at least more 551 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: balanced than we saw last year? And you can answer 552 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: that on the tweet sheet at One Bills Live. But 553 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: here is offensive coordinator Briden Dable on that very subject. 554 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: We try to do things each week that we think 555 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: gives us gives us a chance, and um, you know 556 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: obviously that was that was part of the plan yesterday. 557 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: As you saw relative to numbers and things like that. 558 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: You know, I thought there was a lot of good things. 559 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to score thirty five points in 560 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: the National Football League, but there's certainly a lot of 561 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: things that we all can do better that we want 562 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: to do better. Look again, our goal is to try 563 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: to score in every drive. So you know, when you 564 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: get to a point when you feel like that and 565 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: you're disappointed that you didn't punch it in or get 566 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: any points, um, I think that's a that's a healthy 567 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: thing because there's there's a lot of guys in the 568 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: room that you know, we have a standard. We try 569 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: to play and coach that standard, regardless of the score, 570 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: regardless of the situation, whatever that may be. And I 571 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: think that's a credit to the guys we have in 572 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: the room. Well, not a surprising a coach table. We'll 573 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: do whatever we need to do each and every given week. 574 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: I just think there's a real chance that they try 575 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: to go with some semblance of balance again this week, 576 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: just to kind of keep that pass rush at Bay 577 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: that Washington could put on the field. And I think also, 578 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if the passing game isn't showing up yet, 579 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's gonna be awoken over 580 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: like one game that by the snap of a finger, 581 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: like all right, Josh Allen and his offense and his 582 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: wide receivers aren't gonna pop off this game. I think 583 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: it might be something that is going to build upon 584 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: game after game. I don't see him throwing for like 585 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: four hundred yards against the Washington football team and see 586 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs racking up one hundred and fifty yards. I 587 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: think this is something that's going to be not maybe 588 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: baby steps, but it's going to build each week as 589 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: we go on into the season. And so I think 590 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: because of that, you are going to have to rely 591 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: on the run more right now because your passing game, 592 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: your receivers may not be doing as much right now, 593 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: and so you're gonna have to lean on guys like 594 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: Devon and Zach, especially if they've got hot hands right now. 595 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: That's also something that Brian Dayball loves to talk about, 596 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: is we're going to give the ball to the guy 597 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: who has the hot hand, and if that happens to 598 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: be the running backs, then maybe we're going to see 599 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: a more balanced attack here in the next couple of weeks. Well, 600 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: and the other thing too, is I think we all 601 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: know after last year, the biggest concern that every defensive 602 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: coordinator in the league is going to go into a 603 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: game against the Bills with is we don't want to 604 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: get beat over the top by Josh Allen's arm. So 605 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: just by that fact, they're going to have probably safety's 606 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: back a good deal of the time, which means only 607 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: seven man seven men in the box, and so you 608 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: have to prove that you can run effectively against seven 609 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: man boxes. And if you can, well that's when you 610 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: force them to change and pull a safety down to 611 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: put eight in the box to stop the run, and 612 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: now you only have three dbs deep, and that's when 613 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: your receivers have a better chance of winning. So it's 614 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: almost as if you have to use the run game 615 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: to dictate to your opponent, Hey, you gotta change or 616 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: we're just going to keep running it on you all 617 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: day long. Against some of the more high flying offenses 618 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: like Kansas City, maybe that doesn't work as effectively because 619 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: you've got to kind of match them score for score, 620 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: and the fastest way to do that is throwing the 621 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: ball around. But for a team like Washington, I think 622 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: he can probably use the run game again and see 623 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: if you can force Washington to come out of maybe 624 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: what their game plan is to stop an effective run game. 625 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: And that's probably why they wanted to run it more 626 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: effectively all along. Talking about it all last offseason, Brian 627 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: Dable also addressed Josh Allen's criticism of himself. We know 628 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: he's one of the most self aware quarterbacks in football. 629 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: When he believes there's a deficiency in his game somewhere 630 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: in his performance, he's not afraid to voice it and 631 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: point the finger at himself. Sometimes he's almost too hard 632 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: on himself. But here is Brian dable take on Josh 633 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: being his own worst critic. We were just talking for 634 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: a while upstairs, and you know, he's got that I'm 635 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: not going to say despondent. Look, but he's just kind 636 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: of now He's like, I should have done this, this 637 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: and this, And I said, yeah, I know, Look, we 638 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: can always do better, all of us. We can always 639 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: do better. I said, but look at there's so many 640 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: little things that maybe outside of really understanding and knowing 641 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: what we're doing, some of the things that he did 642 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: really really, he really did a good job in those. 643 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: You know, obviously he wants to complete every pass. And 644 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: you know, I said, look, I don't care how many 645 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: throwaways you have, if you got to throw the football 646 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: away and that's the best decision, and that's the best decision. 647 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: So again, I don't mind him being his his harshest critic. 648 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: He wants to be he wants to be so good. 649 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: I think that's what that's what helped him to improve 650 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: each and every year. And that's a great thing to 651 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 1: have too, because again, this league, it's a tough league. 652 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: There's tough opponents, there's tough coaching staff, there's touch schemes 653 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: to go against. UM, and you're not gonna be perfect 654 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: every week. You know, there's gonna be some there's gonna 655 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: be some downs, there's gonna be some some hiccups and 656 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: some you know, you know, it's not gonna be always great. UM. 657 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: I think it's important not to ride a roller coaster. 658 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: And I think he's you know, in the year that 659 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: he's in, um, you know, fourth year, and you know, 660 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: he's done a lot of good things. I think he 661 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, that mindset is is really important, UM, because 662 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: you can get down real quick in his business as 663 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: much as you can get up. And I think, um, 664 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: the good players, the good coaches that I've learned from 665 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: and bet around, and players are as consistent as they 666 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: can be U and he is, he's at He's always 667 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: whether we win or whether we lose. It's not the 668 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: you know, fifty five plays or sixty plays that he 669 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: did the exact right way. It's the six plays or 670 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: the five plays that he wishes he had back. And 671 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: I think if you're a competitor, um, that's the way 672 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: it should be. You know, whether it's a coach, whether 673 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: it's a player. You know, look, we were supposed to 674 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: do it right. That's our job. It's not always going 675 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: to happen that way. So can you be mentally strong 676 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: enough and tough enough to whether handle the coaching, handle 677 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: a criticism, however, whatever it may be, to keep on 678 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: moving forward with an improven mindset. And that's that's him 679 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: to a t. Yeah. I mean, I think what Josh 680 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: fights within himself all the time, Maddie is he is 681 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: hyper competitive. He's not just a competitor. He is hyper competitive. 682 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: He wants to make a play on every snap in 683 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: the game. And I think as he matures and gets, 684 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 1: you know, more and more time in this league, he 685 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: is going to come to accept the fact that a 686 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: throwaway when nothing is there is better than trying to 687 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: force a play that could lead to a negative play, 688 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: living for another down, you know, getting rid of the 689 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: ball and throwing it in the dirt, you know, when 690 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: he's under pressure and he's probably gonna take a sack 691 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: for a loss. Those are all good decisions, even though 692 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: they may not be positive plays. And I think he's 693 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: got I think he's on his way to getting to 694 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: a point where he can feel good about accepting that 695 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: those kinds of plays are going to come up through 696 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 1: the course of a football game. Yeah, I think we've 697 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: seen him do a better job of leaving that hero 698 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: ball in the past, But when you talk about his competitiveness, 699 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: it's hard to leave something like that behind you when 700 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: you want to put your team on your back every 701 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: opportunity that you have to put your team in a 702 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: good situation to win the football game. And I know 703 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: Brian day Ball, Sean McDermott, Brandon Bean have all talked 704 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: about the fact that, you know, sometimes that's just what 705 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: you get with Josh Allen. Sometimes he's gonna make maybe 706 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: an ill time to throw that lead into an interception. 707 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: But that's the competitive nature of him, and that's the 708 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: hero ball that maybe he'll always hold on to just 709 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: a little bit, because I don't think we're ever going 710 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: to see him put that completely in the past, just 711 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: because of the type of player that he is. But 712 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: I think we've seen him learn in the last three 713 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,959 Speaker 1: plus now as he's in his fourth season, learn how 714 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: to make those right decisions and decide to throw the 715 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: football away instead of taking a sack or instead of 716 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 1: making a bad throw that could lead into a turnover. Right. 717 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: And I think any coach would tell you they'd rather 718 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: have a player that they have to tell him to 719 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: pull the reins back on himself rather than having to 720 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: try to kick him in the pants or amp or 721 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: jack him up. You never have to turn the dial 722 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: up on Josh. It's always at eleven. It's just a 723 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: matter of turning it back down in certain moments. Know 724 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,240 Speaker 1: when he's your trigger man on every single play. Coach 725 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: Frasier naturally was asked about how effective his pass rush 726 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: was from his defensive unit this past week. Here is 727 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: his take on why they were so successful. It's awesome, 728 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, for that to happen, because it was definitely 729 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: an emphasis throughout the week that we wanted to take 730 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: the football away and then for it to come infloration 731 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 1: in the game and really helped our team have success. 732 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: It's a it's a big deal, and so we'll continue 733 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: to harp on it and hopefully we'll get the results 734 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: continue going forward. But it just validates the importance of 735 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: whatever you want to achieve, you know, emphasizing that and 736 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: you can achieve what you emphasize. So we're going to 737 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: continue to do that. Saying we wanted to be aggressive 738 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: and really tack a line of scrimmage, and our guys executed. 739 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the key to our success, the 740 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: execution and the preparation during the week. A lot of 741 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: the things that we did or things we've done in 742 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: the past was but the execution was on point, and 743 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: the guys did a terrific job during the week preparing 744 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: to go out and execute their summons. And you know, 745 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: every week is a little bit different than how you 746 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: approached an opponent, but that was what we thought we 747 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: needed to do against that particular opponent. Mattie, You're not 748 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: that aggressive with a game plan unless you are almost 749 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: one hundred percent confident that your people are going to 750 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: win one on one battles consistently. I think that coach 751 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 1: Frasier was so confident that he had better people than 752 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: Miami had that he just turned them loose and they 753 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: came through for him. And you don't dial up a 754 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: game plan like that when you talk about the aggressiveness, 755 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: unless you know your opponent. This is a team that 756 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: they face twice a year, and this is a team that, yeah, 757 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: they've changed a lot over the last few seasons, but 758 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: their offensive weapons we know them. Yes, you add Jalen 759 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: Waddle to the mix, but these are offensive guys that 760 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: our defense has played against in the last season and 761 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: in the last two seasons, they've played against Tuah before. 762 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: They know Tua. So this is a game that you 763 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: can scheme up against and that you truly know your opponent. 764 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: They're going to add some different things to their own 765 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,760 Speaker 1: game plan and add some wrinkles probably to their offense 766 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 1: this year. You don't want to look the same year 767 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: to year. But I think also you don't create a 768 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: game plan like this unless you face that team quite 769 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: a bit, which they do. Break time for Mannie and 770 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: I here, we'll get a couple of more comments from 771 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:34,879 Speaker 1: coach Frasier when we return. Also, it's time for Reed's Milestones. 772 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: The Bills defense has held opponents scoreless in the first 773 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: half this season. This is the ninth time in team 774 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: history with zero first half points allowed in back to 775 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: back games, and it's the first time since nineteen ninety nine, 776 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: when the Bills did it against the Jets and the 777 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: Eagles in back to back weeks. Here's a little side note. 778 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: The Bills defense finished first in the league that season. 779 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: Reads Milestones and reads Gen's the official jeweler of the 780 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills back in a moment here on One Bill's Live. 781 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen had ten thousand, one hund fifty six passing 782 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: yards in his career, fifth most in Bill's history. Following 783 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: the game against the Dolphins, he surpassed Drew Bledsoe and 784 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: became the sixth quarterback in Bill's history with ten thousand 785 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,240 Speaker 1: passing yards, reaching that mark in just his forty sixth 786 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: career game, the second fastest Bill to ten thousand passing yards, 787 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: behind only Jim Kelly, who did it in forty five games. 788 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: The New York Lotteries Inside the Numbers presents these stats 789 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: to you Inside the Numbers is brought to you by 790 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: the New York Lottery. Get out there and play. We 791 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: want to get back to some comments from defensive coordinator 792 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier, and he obviously had some pretty good performers 793 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: individual performers across the board in this game. One of 794 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: them aj Epenessa, whose game just burst onto the scene 795 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: last Sunday. So here is Coach Fraser on AJ's play 796 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. That was our hope and our desire 797 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: when we talked to him about losing the weight, that 798 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,479 Speaker 1: this is what we wanted to see, more speed because 799 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: we felt like he had to albatic and boot it. 800 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 1: But at two hundred and eighty pounds, we weren't sure 801 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: that we would get we wanted at our level, and 802 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: so in our scheme and how we do things, So 803 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: dropping that weight and seeing what he did yesterday and 804 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: what he's done through training camp and now through the 805 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: preseason and then the regular season is exactly what we 806 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,919 Speaker 1: were hoping for. And there's a lot more good to come. 807 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: So a lot more good to come. I mean, if 808 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: he can do better than that, I'm pretty excited. It's 809 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: to what we're in for. Maddie, Like we talked about, 810 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: we could be seeing that passing of the torture earlier 811 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,359 Speaker 1: than we all expected with our defensive ends, our young 812 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,359 Speaker 1: defensive ends and Greg Russo and aj At Vanessa. But 813 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: it's been really nice to see him come on. I mean, 814 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: this is a guy that they drafted in the second round, 815 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: which was kind of our really our first round pick. 816 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: It was our first pick of the twenty twenty draft 817 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: because we traded that pick away to get Stefan Digs 818 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 1: and so to have someone drafted that high and maybe 819 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: to see their rookie season not go as planned because 820 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 1: he didn't really fit body type wise in the scheme 821 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: that they wanted him to be in. It's nice to 822 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: see that hard work payoff. And he talked about being 823 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: in Buffalo for a lot of the offseason working with 824 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: our strength staff to get to be the type of 825 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: body that they wanted him to be in this defense. 826 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: And I love what we saw out of him in 827 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,439 Speaker 1: training camp. But I love what we're seeing in week 828 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 1: two from him, and I hope it continues, because, yeah, 829 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: this defensive line could be a wrecking ball. If this 830 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: is what it's going to look like all season. You 831 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: really could have p from about seven to eight different 832 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 1: defensive players as standout performers in this game. Another one 833 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 1: was Tarn Johnson. Obviously had the early sack in the game, 834 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: which was easily noticeable, but his work in coverage and 835 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,760 Speaker 1: on fourth down exemplary, And we heard Jordan Poyer Maddie 836 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: after the game called him the best nickel corner in 837 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 1: the league. That's really high praise from a veteran player 838 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 1: and a former captain on the defense to say that. 839 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 1: But here's Leslie Frazier on Terren Johnson's impact on the 840 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: defense in those early days. Not only was he one 841 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: we were wondering, also is he gonna figure it out? 842 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 1: Is he gonna come along people we thought he would 843 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: be when we drafted him. And to Tern's credit, you know, 844 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: he's worked extremely hard to get a good grasp of 845 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: the defense to the point where now he's like a 846 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: coach on the field. And Jimmy Salgado, who works with 847 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,959 Speaker 1: our Knuckles, has done a terrific job of spending time 848 00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: with him both at practice in the classroom, creep practice, 849 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: post practice, so that's helped as well. One of the 850 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 1: bigger concerns with Taron was the injury book. Early on, 851 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 1: you know, he continued to get injured and we couldn't 852 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: keep him on the field. But lately he's been able 853 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: to stay on the field and he's developed into a really, 854 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: really good player, one of the best slot corners in 855 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 1: the National Football League. So we are very fortunate to 856 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,800 Speaker 1: watch his development and see his maturation over this period. 857 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 1: So there's coach Fraser seconding the motion that Taron Johnson 858 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: is the best nickel corner in football. I'm sure there 859 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: are going to be other teams that have arguments, but 860 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: he has played pretty soundly all year last year for 861 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 1: the most part, and this year he's off to a 862 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 1: great start and getting back to those injuries, Maddie. Even 863 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 1: when he had a bum shoulder that he injured very 864 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: early in his rookie season, he played as long as 865 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: he possibly could with the injury, basically strapping up a harness, 866 00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 1: and played with that, I want to say, deep into November. 867 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: I don't think they shut him down until the last 868 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 1: five or six weeks of the season, and I think 869 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: that went a long way in showing this coaching staff 870 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 1: and his teammates in the locker room just how tough 871 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 1: he was. For just being a one hundred eighty five 872 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 1: one ninety pound guy, and even coming into this season, 873 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 1: he had like a club on one of his hands. 874 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: For like the last two weeks of training camp, it 875 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 1: turned into basically just like a soft cast or a 876 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: soft rap on his hand that he was playing with. 877 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if he still has it on, but 878 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 1: I remember seeing him him in some of those practices 879 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 1: just with a huge wrap around his hand. And he 880 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: alluded to when we spoke to him last that I 881 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: maybe didn't take care of myself like I should have 882 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: earlier on in my career when it came to injuries. 883 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: That's why maybe was more injury prone. And I've learned 884 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 1: how to take care of my body to do the 885 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 1: things that I need to do, whether it's lifting, whether 886 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,760 Speaker 1: it's nutritional things. I've learned how to do those things. 887 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: That makes me a player who maybe is not as 888 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: injury prone as I used to be. So that's really 889 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 1: good to hear. And Sean McDermott commented on that too 890 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: and said that he loves when players can learn from 891 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 1: veteran players, or from coaches, or from the athletics staff, 892 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 1: you name it, learn how to adjust their bodies or 893 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 1: adjust themselves into being true NFL players who are going 894 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,799 Speaker 1: to last in the NFL more than three years. Yeah. 895 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: I remember talking to him after his rookie year, which 896 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: was riddled by injuries, and he said, yeah, I learned 897 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 1: that year that I had to get bigger and stronger, 898 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: and so I had to go on a weight program 899 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 1: through that first NFL offseason. And it was important because 900 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: that nickel position in this defense, it's a very physical position. 901 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: You have to act as almost a third linebacker sometimes 902 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: in the run front, and more and more teams are 903 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 1: putting bigger and bigger players in the slot to play receiver, 904 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: so you're going again bigger, physical players a good portion 905 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 1: of the time. So he's really risen to the challenge 906 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 1: of being more available on a regular basis, and knock 907 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: on wood, he stayed relatively healthy for the better part 908 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: of the last two years. All Right, we have to 909 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 1: take a break here because when we come back, our 910 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,799 Speaker 1: number two will be headlined by the one and only 911 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,839 Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt from NFL Network. He's going to dive in 912 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: and let us know what he thinks of the first 913 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,840 Speaker 1: two weeks by the Bills, among other things concerning the 914 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,280 Speaker 1: team when we return here on One Bill's Live presented 915 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 1: by Kalaia Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. There's a sense 916 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 1: of objectivity we have to maintain here in good morning Football. 917 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: There's teams that we like and teams that we want 918 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,320 Speaker 1: to win. And I can't believe that Michael Robinson and 919 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,799 Speaker 1: like mister Buffalo Bills took the Kansas City Chiefs. But 920 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 1: I respect it because you are professional and it's not 921 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: about being a cheerleader. Is about who you think is 922 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: really going to win. And guys, I have to be 923 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: a professional. And I'm gonna say right here while on 924 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:14,399 Speaker 1: the Travis Kelsey Jersey, no one beats the Chiefs, no 925 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 1: one takes them out. They're the best thing going. In 926 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,800 Speaker 1: order to beat this team, you gotta ball up. You 927 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: got a man up. I gotta rise up. You got 928 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 1: a loand off you up. You're going on the super Bowl. 929 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 1: Get this out of here. None of this on paper 930 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,800 Speaker 1: stuff on the field. It will be one Buffalo takes 931 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: over Los Angeles. Start the parade. Okay, So I don't 932 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: need to introduce anybody here because I think that pretty 933 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 1: much says it all. Kyle Brandt from NFL Network back 934 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,839 Speaker 1: for another season. Good to have you, Kyle, good to 935 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,479 Speaker 1: see you. And how about this, So two weeks ago 936 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 1: you make that prediction. You are the cats me out 937 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: in Bill's fandom. Everybody loves you. And now here we 938 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,720 Speaker 1: are two weeks later, Zach Moss is disqualified from Angry 939 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 1: Runs and you are drawing the full ire of Bill's mafia. 940 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 1: So well done on the turnaround there, good job, very fast. 941 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 1: And you notice guys Mattie and Brownie, you know, you know, 942 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 1: as I didn't show up last week here on one 943 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,719 Speaker 1: of Bill's lives. I think it's in my new contractual 944 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: agreement that I only come in after wins, which means 945 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,480 Speaker 1: I'll come in between thirteen or fourteen times this year, 946 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,320 Speaker 1: plus playoffs. But Brownie, I thought we were all friends. 947 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,439 Speaker 1: I thought we had a working relationship here. I thought 948 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,759 Speaker 1: this is a positive place. And then I go on 949 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: television and I hand out the Angry Runs scepter to 950 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: Nazi Harris up the Steelers who deserved it, and all 951 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 1: I hear. But never mind Steelers fans, who could certainly 952 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: say something to the Bills fans if they wanted to 953 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,720 Speaker 1: have said nothing. All I got Bills fans, Bills fans, 954 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 1: where zuc where zuc Man, you suck? This segment sucks 955 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: is something stark blah blah blah blah blah blah. I've 956 00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,840 Speaker 1: tried to explain. Can we can we clarify this? And 957 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 1: thank you for asking. I would love to tell you 958 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: Bills Mafia that the only rule on Angry runs is 959 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: that there are no rules. But we do have one, 960 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 1: and I don't care how cool, how punishing, how esthetically 961 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: pleasing the run is. If the receiving end of the 962 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 1: run results in a player getting injured or can cost 963 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 1: or any of those terrible things, it's out. It doesn't qualify. 964 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,360 Speaker 1: And I hate that rule. I wish we could just 965 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 1: lay carnage and body count everywhere we go. I was 966 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 1: raised on eighties and nineties football, but we can't. So 967 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 1: Zach Moss's only sin was running over the guy too 968 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: hard because he broke him and it's over. And what 969 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,439 Speaker 1: do you know? One Bill's Life, the best produced show 970 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,759 Speaker 1: on television or the internet, has video right on Q 971 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 1: and they jack the dude up and there's nothing I 972 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: can do about it. Guys, Am I wrong. I have 973 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: to have some rules. It's not just the purge here 974 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,880 Speaker 1: it's not martial law. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's a landing 975 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,359 Speaker 1: Roberts that was injured on the play. He got up 976 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 1: real slow and then went to the sideline and he 977 00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: was sitting on the bench for a while too, So 978 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 1: it was you know, man on man and you know 979 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 1: Zach Moss one. I don't have to tell you that, Kyle, 980 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 1: because I believe you were a former running back, right, 981 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: So I mean, here we are. Yeah, unfortunate rule, but 982 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,799 Speaker 1: you gotta play by it. And I get it. You know, 983 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 1: it's a league produced show, and you know we don't 984 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 1: want to we don't want to celebrate injury. So I 985 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,479 Speaker 1: get it. And you know what, though, that's a cop 986 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 1: out for me to blame it on the league. I 987 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,799 Speaker 1: produced that segments with due respect the Roser Goodell. He's 988 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 1: not weighing in editorially on and agree runs every week. 989 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable with the player getting hurt. And I'll 990 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,320 Speaker 1: tell you something else. But it was week two. We 991 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: got a long way to go, Bills fans, So I 992 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 1: will leave that that encouraging note, but also this cynical note. 993 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,759 Speaker 1: I got news for you. Even if Zach Moss would 994 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,320 Speaker 1: have been eligible, he wouldn't have won this week anyway, 995 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 1: So who cares he's not getting the scepter and bills 996 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,800 Speaker 1: fans right now are not about being nominated, not about 997 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 1: being close, not about getting the title games. It's about 998 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: winning the whole thing. He wouldn't have won anyway. He 999 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 1: would have come in third behind Damien Harris and Nazi Harris. 1000 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: So may we'll see you next week. Let's move on. 1001 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,280 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that one of our running backs or Josh 1002 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:10,280 Speaker 1: Allen or someone gets the Angry Run Scepter this year, 1003 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 1: and I would have to say at least one of 1004 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 1: them is going to be nominated in order to have 1005 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity to win this award this year. But when 1006 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 1: you're talking about that Angry Run segment, I mean, how 1007 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 1: long do you stew over the options that you have 1008 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: to present to your counterparts every week, all day Sunday, 1009 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,719 Speaker 1: all day Monday, all night Sunday. I'd live and die 1010 00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: with this segment. And thank you, you guys and your 1011 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 1: fans so much for watching it. It's hard. Listen. There 1012 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: was a play this week where Lamar Jackson just straight 1013 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,280 Speaker 1: up slap the guy in the face on the sideline 1014 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 1: and it was really cool, and I would love to 1015 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,239 Speaker 1: include Lamar. That's really fun. I couldn't do it. There's 1016 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,879 Speaker 1: always sort of a cutting room floor. But I will 1017 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 1: tell you here's another consolation. If you're looking for consolation 1018 00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,840 Speaker 1: Bills fans, I don't think you are. Every single week 1019 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 1: you are a featured on Angry Runs because in the 1020 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,879 Speaker 1: opening montage is the best one we have ever had 1021 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,240 Speaker 1: in the history of the segment, which is Dawson Knox 1022 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,839 Speaker 1: on the far sideline, which is still my favorite we've 1023 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: ever done. So he's always in it, and maybe he'll 1024 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 1: have a fresh run Maddie this year, because that guy's 1025 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 1: still a beast. And then I want to remind fans 1026 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: that last year, probably around this time or maybe even 1027 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,120 Speaker 1: slightly before this time last year, you had the Bills 1028 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,680 Speaker 1: at twelve and four, you were out in front of it, 1029 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:32,320 Speaker 1: and they actually exceeded your prediction. You just casually throughout 1030 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen wins about a minute and a half ago. 1031 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 1: So do you really think that they can they can 1032 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 1: get there? I mean, the schedule doesn't look nearly as 1033 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 1: dawning as it did last year, Kyle, so you know 1034 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 1: they've split the first two games. The offense probably still 1035 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,480 Speaker 1: hasn't played its best game yet. Even Josh would tell 1036 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,960 Speaker 1: you that. So you feel good about that. Thirteen fourteen 1037 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 1: regular season victories. That's a haul. It's a great haul, 1038 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: and it's a great team. And Bronnie, what am I 1039 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 1: gonna do when it come out and say, well, nine 1040 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 1: and eight? No, I don't think that way. I wouldn't 1041 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 1: say that. I don't believe that we can put up 1042 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 1: this schedule. You can put up any schedule you want. 1043 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,760 Speaker 1: I look at the team. I don't care who they play. 1044 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:18,440 Speaker 1: I see Washington, there, Houston. No. I say this constantly, 1045 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 1: and I'm being serious about this. I take almost every 1046 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: single result from a Week one in the NFL and 1047 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 1: throw it away. Week one is a liar. Week one 1048 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 1: is always a liar. It will continue to be a liar. 1049 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 1: Go back to last season, all right, the twenty twenty season. 1050 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,759 Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns lost by thirty two points Week one 1051 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 1: one on I have a great season. The Jacksonville Jaguars 1052 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 1: one week one over the Colts team that faced the 1053 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 1: Bills in the playoffs, and they have since lost seventeen 1054 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 1: straight games. Take everything you think you know after Week one, 1055 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,440 Speaker 1: and that's a bunch of bs. The Bills were flat. 1056 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 1: I think they were a little cocky, and I think 1057 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:55,440 Speaker 1: they got dealt with. Now. Week two is George Washington's 1058 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 1: cannot tell a lie. Week two you want your daughter 1059 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 1: to marry. Week two, that's a great guy with a 1060 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,839 Speaker 1: great job, always tells the truth. So what I saw 1061 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 1: up in this part of town was at thirty five 1062 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 1: to nothing blowout. I mean, that's that is way more 1063 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: the Bills. Just like that was way more of the 1064 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 1: Titans we saw this week winning and overtime against Seattle. 1065 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:17,920 Speaker 1: It was certainly way more of the Packers. We can 1066 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 1: go up and down the roster. I'm telling you. People 1067 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: say preseason is misleading. Week one is so full of crap, 1068 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 1: never believe it. But Week two, hand on the Bible, 1069 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 1: I solemnly swear trust me. And what did Aaron Rodgers 1070 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,240 Speaker 1: say after Week two? He said it was good to 1071 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,440 Speaker 1: put the trolls to bed or tell the trolls to 1072 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 1: shut up, or whatever he said, because of the way 1073 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,480 Speaker 1: that the Green Bay Packers played in that first week. 1074 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 1: I mean, week three, what are you waiting to see 1075 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: from this Buffalo Bills team? In Week three? What hasn't 1076 00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 1: showed up yet? In your eyes? Well, we haven't had. 1077 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 1: You know, Josh has not gone nuclear and that's okay. 1078 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,960 Speaker 1: He's been fine. Last week he was okay. Week one 1079 00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 1: he was shaky. But I don't really care because here's 1080 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 1: if we look forward to the whole season, I don't 1081 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 1: care if Josh Allen wins the MVP. And I'll go 1082 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: even a step further. I don't want him to win 1083 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: the MVP. I want them to win the super Bowl. 1084 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: It's they're they're mutually exclusive, and it usually doesn't link up. 1085 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 1: Last Aaron Rodgers won the MVP, they lost in the 1086 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: title game. Again, Lamar Jackson wins the MVP, they didn't win. 1087 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 1: Squat the MVP is a regular season award for crazy, 1088 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 1: gaudy statistics. And I would much rather see a more 1089 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 1: well rounded Bills offense than Josh Allen just being a 1090 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,959 Speaker 1: nuclear bomb every single week. And I'll put it this way. 1091 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of focus going into the 1092 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: season and now on the Bills running game, all right, 1093 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 1: if it's motor, if it's moss, and I think there's 1094 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 1: way more focused now because did you see what's the word? 1095 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 1: Did you see how supple the Chiefs defense was the 1096 00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 1: other night that was that was one ply toilet paper 1097 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 1: right through it. Like the Chiefs defense from three years 1098 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 1: ago before they supposedly fix their defense, I mean they 1099 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 1: were soft. So listen, Josh can be Josh shirt. But 1100 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: I want to pound the Chiefs if I'm the Bills 1101 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 1: going into that game. So I don't want Josh stun 1102 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 1: win the MVP. If that's blasphemous, I don't care. It's 1103 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 1: not about that. It's about winning the Super Bowl and 1104 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: having a parade. There's no parades for MVP. You get 1105 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 1: out an award at the awards show and NFL Honors, 1106 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: and then you go home and you congratulate the Super 1107 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 1: Bowl winners. I'm not interested in that. Yeah, And you 1108 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: know the Bills, with the matchup they have this week, 1109 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,360 Speaker 1: it's not all that different from a defensive front. They 1110 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: gave them problems in Week one. I mean, I don't 1111 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 1: have to run down the list, but I'm gonna do anyway. 1112 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,440 Speaker 1: Cameron Hayward first round pick, Tyson Alulalu, first round pick, 1113 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,600 Speaker 1: t J. Watt first round pick, Melvin Ingram first round pick. 1114 00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: It's the same thing this week against Washington. It's first 1115 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 1: round picks from left end to right end. On that 1116 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 1: defensive front. I think how much Buffalo's offensive line has 1117 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 1: improved in two weeks time is going to be critical 1118 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 1: in this matchup. I do too, And actually I didn't 1119 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 1: even think about it that way Browning, but you're right, 1120 00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 1: like those crazy pass rushers, I think the advanta is 1121 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 1: is that Washington does not have him MACA. Fitzpatrick. I 1122 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,440 Speaker 1: don't think they have his talented of a secondary. They 1123 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: certainly don't have his talented of a quarterback. And I'll 1124 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 1: say this, listen, I know that you guys love Fitzie. 1125 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:15,120 Speaker 1: I love Ryan Fitzpatrick. Everybody in Buffalo does. I still 1126 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 1: think when he went down, with due respect to his injury, 1127 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 1: I still think it was a slight upgrade of the quarterback. 1128 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,120 Speaker 1: Because Ryan Fitzpatrick, they've shown us one thing for sweat 1129 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,400 Speaker 1: sixteen years, up down, up down, up down. I get it, 1130 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 1: and I think they may have kind of that same guy. Now. 1131 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,480 Speaker 1: This Taylor Heineke is almost the same as Fitzpatrick, and 1132 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 1: that he's unproven, small program, kind of up and down. 1133 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 1: He's got this energy that people seem to rally around, 1134 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,480 Speaker 1: and he can get hot really fast, but he can 1135 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 1: also make a critical mistake. So I actually am fine 1136 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 1: with this matchup in in a way, the way you 1137 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,480 Speaker 1: put a brownie. The Steelers warm up was sort of 1138 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: a practice for this in terms of the old line. 1139 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: And now it's week three, they're playing a lesser quarterback. 1140 01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm not terribly concerned about this win or about this 1141 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 1: weekend at all, and especially the way they have him. 1142 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,120 Speaker 1: I think they buffalo handles this one. All right. We 1143 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 1: gotta ask you our Twitter poll questions. Oh yeah, you 1144 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 1: brought up the run game, and that's what our Twitter 1145 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 1: poll is about. So a lot of our fans, a 1146 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 1: lot of people watch the Bills love to love to 1147 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 1: wonder is this going to be a balanced team. When 1148 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 1: they're passing the ball and doing great passing the ball, 1149 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: they want to see us run the ball more. Then 1150 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 1: when we run the ball, they want to see us 1151 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 1: pass the ball more. Nobody can ever be happy with 1152 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 1: the attack that the Bills have, and Brian day Ball 1153 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 1: is constantly asked about it by our media, wondering are 1154 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 1: you going to be a balanced football team ever? And 1155 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 1: Brian's answers always, We're going to do what the game 1156 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 1: plan tells us we need to do, according to what 1157 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 1: defense we're going to play against. So do you think 1158 01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 1: the Bills should continue to employ a more balanced attack 1159 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 1: with their offense? Now they were about fifty fifty in 1160 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 1: Week two against the Miami Dolphins in terms of run 1161 01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,880 Speaker 1: to pass week three and on what do you think balanced? 1162 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 1: No balance? I'm emphatically for balance. And I would only 1163 01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 1: pull from last night. If you watch the early parts 1164 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 1: of that game, especially for the Packers, which say what 1165 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,480 Speaker 1: you want about their faults as a team or whatever, 1166 01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,640 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers offseason, their offense was humming and they 1167 01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 1: ran the wheels off it at the beginning of the 1168 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 1: Game's clearly they came out and said, all right, Weak 1169 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,240 Speaker 1: one was a disaster. Let's just keep running it and 1170 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 1: running it and running it. And it worked and it 1171 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 1: was a tone setter. And I would go back to 1172 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 1: this last Bills game. So as much as think about 1173 01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 1: if you had choose your own adventure, you start the 1174 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,320 Speaker 1: game with, I don't know, let's say a sixty yard 1175 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,080 Speaker 1: touchdown pass from Alan to Diggs, that would be exhilarating, 1176 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,400 Speaker 1: so exciting. Which is more exciting and which is more 1177 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,440 Speaker 1: promising that or the way it actually did start with 1178 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 1: the motor long touchdown, Like that's was like, oh, yes, 1179 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,360 Speaker 1: I already know we can do the Diggs thing. I 1180 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 1: already know they got that. But seeing him bust out 1181 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,920 Speaker 1: a long run right up the middle look like he 1182 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 1: was untouched, I was like, this is a new toy. 1183 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 1: We can always go back to the Digs thing. The 1184 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,960 Speaker 1: motor and the Moss thing is what I want. And guys, 1185 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,200 Speaker 1: they can't win the super Bowl without them. They can 1186 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,160 Speaker 1: go to a title game with Alan Diggs the defense, 1187 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 1: they can. We know that already. If they're going to 1188 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl, they have to run it, 1189 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,800 Speaker 1: especially against KC. Tennessee in Baltimore. Like so the answer question, Matt, 1190 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 1: I would much try to have those running backs go off. 1191 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 1: I really would any day right now for them and 1192 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: to get past those teams that you just mentioned, Kyle, 1193 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,560 Speaker 1: they're also going to have to harass those quarterbacks, most 1194 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 1: notably Patrick Mahomes. We only have two weeks of evidence, 1195 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 1: but man, the pass rush look damn impressive last week. 1196 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,600 Speaker 1: Granted they're playing an offensive line that's still trying to 1197 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,600 Speaker 1: get their act together in Miami. Where where do you 1198 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 1: come down on that? Do you think what we saw 1199 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,680 Speaker 1: from the pass rush is sustainable going forward? Maybe not 1200 01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 1: to the tune of six sacks and eleven quarterback pressures. 1201 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,720 Speaker 1: But is it sustainable? I hope so, And I think 1202 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,480 Speaker 1: against a quarterback like Heinekey and then look, we're looking. 1203 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 1: We're looking at the schedule NonStop. They are not playing 1204 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 1: uh Rogers and Mahomes. Over the next couple of weeks. 1205 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 1: They got young quarterbacks, they got green quarterbacks. There's this 1206 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 1: Davis Mills, I guess is the answer. See him. I 1207 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 1: know we're seeing him. We're seeing him naturally there Thursday too, 1208 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna start, I think for the texts. This is 1209 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,000 Speaker 1: a third round rookie against the Panthers. So he may 1210 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 1: be the guy. I'll tell you what. I'm the defense 1211 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,480 Speaker 1: who I really like. And I know everybody likes him now, 1212 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 1: but EPINESSA like is the guy. Because Peter Schreeger on 1213 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 1: our show every single year he does ten breakout players. 1214 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,080 Speaker 1: These are the guys who it doesn't necessarily mean they're 1215 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,280 Speaker 1: gonna be all pros. They're gonna become names that you 1216 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 1: don't talk about that now you do. And what I 1217 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 1: love about Peter's list he doesn't do it based on film, 1218 01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't do it based on his own gut It 1219 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 1: is all research based based on talking to gms and 1220 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 1: coaches around the league who are on the teams and 1221 01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,320 Speaker 1: play against them. Ten names out of hundreds and hundreds 1222 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 1: of players this year, and he's one of those names. 1223 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,920 Speaker 1: Aja'son there. In fact, I think he was even top five. 1224 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,880 Speaker 1: So listen, Schraeger's the guy who said Mahomes was going 1225 01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: to be a superstar before he started the game. Other 1226 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,560 Speaker 1: role players like Buddha Baker, great players like that. That 1227 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 1: was the guy that he picked to be in his 1228 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: top ten. And then you saw it last week, just 1229 01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,560 Speaker 1: crushing the quarterback looking great. I'm all over that as well. Hey, 1230 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:05,360 Speaker 1: if Peter Schrager says it happened, I'm sure he's got 1231 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 1: to be right. And I mean the game he had 1232 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,040 Speaker 1: in week two was it was really awesome. He's changed 1233 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 1: his body type, he's gotten to be the type of 1234 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 1: player that our defense defensive coaches want him to be, 1235 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 1: and it's been proving on the field through two weeks already. 1236 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 1: But since we're two weeks through the season, what team, 1237 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 1: in your eyes, has had the most surprising start to 1238 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one year. It's a great question, it 1239 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 1: and yet it is so easy to answer, and it 1240 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 1: is the silver and Black in Las Vegas, Nevada. I mean, 1241 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 1: it's not just that the Raiders are two and oh 1242 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,479 Speaker 1: look hood they beat They beat the Ravens who beat 1243 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,720 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and they beat the Steelers who beat the Bills. 1244 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,880 Speaker 1: So in a way, it's almost like they have these 1245 01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 1: proxy wins over like all of the teams. And listen 1246 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 1: the fact that they beat Baltimore at home and the 1247 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,360 Speaker 1: opener and everything, it is an unbelievable thing. But then 1248 01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 1: doubled down and go into Pittsburgh. That's the one that 1249 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 1: you're you know, you know the Raiders. They get hammered 1250 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,120 Speaker 1: in that game. I know that was fun for one week. 1251 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 1: The Raiders under Gruden are actually a lot like Las 1252 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 1: Vegas in the sense that they're really instantly exciting and 1253 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 1: yet lead ultimately unfulfilling, like it's it's a lot of 1254 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,920 Speaker 1: stars and Neon and quick money and all that. But no, 1255 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 1: those are two amazing, amazing wins. And my last nugget 1256 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,960 Speaker 1: about the Raiders is you see the highlights and it's 1257 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 1: it's card rugs and all that. They hit the Bejesus 1258 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,280 Speaker 1: out of Ben Roethlisberger last week, So much so that 1259 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 1: Ben was getting kind of whiny in the post game, 1260 01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,360 Speaker 1: and we know he does that over the years. I 1261 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 1: think they hit him ten times. It might have been twelve. 1262 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. The Raiders, they're good. That's say. What you 1263 01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 1: want to know is certainly not fourteen and three, but 1264 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,240 Speaker 1: two and oh over those two teams, like you can't 1265 01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,680 Speaker 1: sneeze that. It's impressive. And that's why I think that 1266 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:50,840 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are gonna be like, yeah, to just sit 1267 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:52,640 Speaker 1: down for another week, because we don't want you playing 1268 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,600 Speaker 1: again at Raiders defensive front. Let's put the big body 1269 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 1: Brissette out there and hope for the best. Stay with 1270 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,760 Speaker 1: me on this story, Kyle. I'm walking my dog last night. 1271 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 1: It's a beautiful night. Me and my wife are walking 1272 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,640 Speaker 1: our dog, who's a little bit nutty, but she's also 1273 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:10,160 Speaker 1: a scaredy cat. And it's just about dusk. It's getting dark, 1274 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,280 Speaker 1: and we're walking in our development and there are houses 1275 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,640 Speaker 1: that surround a pond, so the frogs and the toads 1276 01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 1: are out and we can't see the sidewalk very well. 1277 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,080 Speaker 1: Tell a difference between a leaf on the ground or 1278 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,280 Speaker 1: a toad. I tell you I'm playing the opposite of Frogger. 1279 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,439 Speaker 1: I am hopping out of the way so I don't 1280 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,000 Speaker 1: step on any of them. I swear to God, I 1281 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,520 Speaker 1: kicked two of them. And now here you are bringing 1282 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,480 Speaker 1: back I mean, it was very nice that you already 1283 01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 1: mentioned that choose your own adventure books. I remember those, 1284 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 1: so thank you for taking me back to that memory. 1285 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,720 Speaker 1: But now we're going to Frogger, which is also my 1286 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: wife's absolute favorite video game, and you're doing this on peacock. 1287 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 1: How exactly did the concept develop where you bring a 1288 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 1: video game to life? Thank you for the question. All right, 1289 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,040 Speaker 1: So the Frogger TV show is like this. Imagine if 1290 01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,040 Speaker 1: you took Madden the video game and made it into 1291 01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,040 Speaker 1: real life, it would be an NFL game. It would 1292 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,600 Speaker 1: be that big of the leap. This show is as 1293 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,080 Speaker 1: if you took the Frogger old arcade game and did 1294 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,880 Speaker 1: what the NFL does the Madden. It's that huge that 1295 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:15,640 Speaker 1: real life the Froggers are actual, real contestants, massive massive 1296 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 1: arenas and courses, and it's so funny. You wouldn't get this. 1297 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: And we've talked for years now you kind of know 1298 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 1: what I'm about. The moment I knew that I wanted 1299 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 1: to be part of the Frogger TV show. They say 1300 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,160 Speaker 1: they're kind of pitching it, and they're like, so, here's 1301 01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,360 Speaker 1: what we're thinking.

I watched it with my kids, and 1311 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 1: this is how sick I am. I watched with my 1312 01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,200 Speaker 1: five year old and my seven year old. They didn't 1313 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,800 Speaker 1: speak for an entire hour. And I turned to my 1314 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,080 Speaker 1: wife and I go, wow, Babe, look at them. They're riveted. 1315 01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: And she goes, no, they're riveted, and I was like, wow, Mike, 1316 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:14,760 Speaker 1: drop my wife's the brain so clear clear this up 1317 01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,800 Speaker 1: for me?

There's the cars, you know, and there's 1321 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,679 Speaker 1: like jump from the crocodile to the log and it's 1322 01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 1: it's just like it. And then you get to the 1323 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,280 Speaker 1: lily pad at the end and if you survive with 1324 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,439 Speaker 1: three lives, like you win and you win money. And 1325 01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,400 Speaker 1: it's myself and Damon Wayne's junior and it's the most 1326 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 1: fun I've ever had. I mean, it was so cool 1327 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,640 Speaker 1: and my kids love it awesome. I mean, how do 1328 01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:47,200 Speaker 1: you contain yourself? I feel like if I were hosting 1329 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,439 Speaker 1: a show like that, I would just be in tears 1330 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,599 Speaker 1: laughing at people trying to do this, and I wouldn't 1331 01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 1: be able to get any words out because I laugh 1332 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 1: at pretty much anything. So how do you keep a 1333 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 1: straight face through probably not everything, but through some of it. Well, 1334 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm trying to keep a straight face during 1335 01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,160 Speaker 1: a Brownie's story. I'm not trying to step on the 1336 01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:10,759 Speaker 1: frogs or toads glades or something. They had that stuff 1337 01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 1: there in Western New York. Yeah, it was a warm night. 1338 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so they were out, they were out. 1339 01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 1: I swear I kicked two of them. I felt terrible, 1340 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:21,599 Speaker 1: But what are you gonna do don't kick them, and 1341 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,759 Speaker 1: it definitaly don't lick them. That goes to weird places. 1342 01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 1: But Matt and answer your question. Um, I wasn't having 1343 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 1: to control my laughter. My My thing was like, I 1344 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,240 Speaker 1: want to run the course. Let me out on there. 1345 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 1: I'm a child at heart. Let me climb up the 1346 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,120 Speaker 1: Egyptian period and jump onto the hippo or whatever it was. 1347 01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 1: And they wouldn't let me do it until the show 1348 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,320 Speaker 1: had wrapped all the way at the end, after the 1349 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 1: whole shoot, I got to do it, and I got 1350 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,280 Speaker 1: to run through the cars and then Lily pads and 1351 01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:48,360 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I got destroyed that that that 1352 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,360 Speaker 1: that Dolphins linebacker on the goal line that Moss ran into, 1353 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,479 Speaker 1: that was me getting hit by like a three hundred 1354 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,559 Speaker 1: pound bullfrog on camera.

Mattie 1413 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:18,360 Speaker 1: Glab Chris Brown here joining you on a Tuesday, and 1414 01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,760 Speaker 1: we want to get back to the tweet sheet as 1415 01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:24,160 Speaker 1: we have been asking you today and we asked Kyle Brandt, 1416 01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,040 Speaker 1: who was just one with us as well. Should the 1417 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:29,839 Speaker 1: Bills continue to employ a more balanced attack with their offense, 1418 01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Veto says, yes, all caps exclamation point, exclamation point. I 1419 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: think it's unrealistic to think Josh and the offense will 1420 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 1: put up record breaking stats all the time. I would 1421 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:41,880 Speaker 1: love to see it, but would gladly take a more 1422 01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,080 Speaker 1: balanced attack to go along with the much improved twenty 1423 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,759 Speaker 1: nineteen looking defense we have been seeing. Here's the only 1424 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:53,280 Speaker 1: here's the only concern with that, Maddie. When you play 1425 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:58,000 Speaker 1: teams like the Chiefs, you know, high flying, high scoring clubs, 1426 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 1: A great running game is awesome because if it's effective, 1427 01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 1: it's keeping the ball out of the hands of the Chiefs. 1428 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 1: But eventually you are going to give it back to them, 1429 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 1: whether you score or whether you punt and or turn 1430 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 1: it over God forbid. But knowing their propensity to score points, 1431 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,080 Speaker 1: most people are of the belief, after watching this Chiefs 1432 01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,080 Speaker 1: team for the better part of the last four years, 1433 01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:29,559 Speaker 1: you have to throw to beat them and match score 1434 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,320 Speaker 1: for score, and I don't know that you can do 1435 01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 1: that with a truly balanced attack. I don't know what 1436 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 1: you think, but that's my concern. Yeah, I mean, I 1437 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 1: agree with that. That's why all we hear is when 1438 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,679 Speaker 1: you play the Chiefs, and all we see is teams 1439 01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 1: try and air it out to like play catchup. They 1440 01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,519 Speaker 1: don't need a lot of time on the field in 1441 01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 1: time of possession numbers to score because their drives are quick. 1442 01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 1: They get down the field, they score quick, and then 1443 01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,400 Speaker 1: it's time for the opposing team to have a chance. 1444 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,559 Speaker 1: Whether you're running out the clock or not. I don't 1445 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 1: think it really matters for the Chiefs because they score 1446 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:14,839 Speaker 1: so quickly and so efficiently, so effectively, drive after drive, 1447 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 1: that it is hard to keep up if you're just 1448 01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:20,200 Speaker 1: truly running the ball down the field. And if that's 1449 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,360 Speaker 1: what you're gonna go with, I think maybe a balanced attack, 1450 01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:28,800 Speaker 1: maybe not fifty fifty, maybe sixty forty maybe better for 1451 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 1: the Bills when they face the Chiefs. We'll have to 1452 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,880 Speaker 1: see how that defense is playing. But some of these 1453 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,639 Speaker 1: defenses are gonna make the Bills run, just like Kyle 1454 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,240 Speaker 1: Brant kind of pointed out, and like we saw for 1455 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:44,080 Speaker 1: the Packers and Lions game yesterday when I was watching 1456 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,800 Speaker 1: the Peyton and Eli broadcast, that's what they were talking about. 1457 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,519 Speaker 1: There were two safeties that were far back and they 1458 01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: were saying, this defense is basically like daring Aaron Rodgers 1459 01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,360 Speaker 1: to run the ball, and it's really hard for a 1460 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:02,400 Speaker 1: quarterback to throw what he's good at by the wayside 1461 01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 1: and just have to run the ball over and over again. 1462 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 1: But that's what the Packers did in the game last night, 1463 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,400 Speaker 1: and they ended up winning that game. I think it 1464 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,479 Speaker 1: takes a lot of mental toughness for a quarterback to 1465 01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:17,280 Speaker 1: be okay with that when that quarterback knows he's a 1466 01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 1: dang good player, and Josh Allen is and I think 1467 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:24,280 Speaker 1: it takes some mental toughness there and some patience to say, 1468 01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:28,200 Speaker 1: all right, we're just gonna give the rock Tour running 1469 01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:32,639 Speaker 1: backs when the defense lets us. Yeah. Basically the old 1470 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,360 Speaker 1: take what the defense gives you approach, which is what 1471 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,439 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers did in the first half last night against 1472 01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,160 Speaker 1: the Lions, and the Bills will probably have to do 1473 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,680 Speaker 1: from time to time. You know, Kyle Brant brought it 1474 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,240 Speaker 1: up in our last segment. I think it's a worthwhile 1475 01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,559 Speaker 1: point and something to keep an eye on. The Chiefs 1476 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:52,639 Speaker 1: defense was very soft against the Ravens this past week. 1477 01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:56,400 Speaker 1: So granted, the Ravens kind of made up for their 1478 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,840 Speaker 1: early turnovers with turnovers late on the Chiefs. The clyde 1479 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,640 Speaker 1: were a lair fumble most noteworthy of among them, and 1480 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,800 Speaker 1: that helped kind of even out the equation. But as 1481 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 1: soft as the Chiefs played defensively, and maybe it's just 1482 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,200 Speaker 1: a one week thing against the Ravens for what reason, 1483 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm still not quite sure. And they've got some other 1484 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 1: things that they're doing different from last year. They're playing 1485 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,559 Speaker 1: Chris Jones, a Pro Bowl defensive tackle, at defensive end, 1486 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,360 Speaker 1: and I don't think that's a very effective way to 1487 01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,639 Speaker 1: use him. And my only concern is by the time 1488 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:31,280 Speaker 1: the Bills play him, they will have figured that out 1489 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 1: and put him back in his familiar place inside where 1490 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:37,680 Speaker 1: he was wreaking havoc in the AFC Championship game. I 1491 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:42,800 Speaker 1: remember that, So yeah, I think keeping an eye on 1492 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 1: what the Chiefs are doing defensively is something for fans 1493 01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,320 Speaker 1: to kind of just keep in the back of their 1494 01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:52,280 Speaker 1: mind because they still have a huge playmaker and Tyron 1495 01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,719 Speaker 1: Matthew back there. But I think they're a little bit 1496 01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,599 Speaker 1: different on the defensive side of the ball. How different, 1497 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure yet, but after two weeks they 1498 01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,439 Speaker 1: don't look like the same defense that we saw in 1499 01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:08,400 Speaker 1: years past with Steve Spagnolo running that crew. So just 1500 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,240 Speaker 1: something to keep in mind and keep an eye on 1501 01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,360 Speaker 1: through these next couple of weeks before they come up 1502 01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:16,080 Speaker 1: on the bills schedule. Matt on the tweet sheet says, 1503 01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 1: depending on game specific conditions, opponent defensive trends, and health 1504 01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,240 Speaker 1: of the offense, I think the more successful offense is 1505 01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,880 Speaker 1: one that can be agile, leaning on the weapons that 1506 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:29,639 Speaker 1: give us the best ability to score in the moment, 1507 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:33,200 Speaker 1: whether air or ground attack. Okay, Matt, are you like 1508 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 1: an academian that is just way too well thought out 1509 01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,559 Speaker 1: to appear on the tweet sheet? We aspire to knee 1510 01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 1: jerk reactions, strong opinions. We don't need reasoning like this. 1511 01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,720 Speaker 1: This makes too much sense for me. I want I 1512 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 1: rate people that want something specifically for no good reason. 1513 01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,559 Speaker 1: This is a well thought out tweet here. Good job, Matt. 1514 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,559 Speaker 1: Add a boy, Matt, that's what Josh Allen would tell him. 1515 01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 1: We'll give him an ad a boy on that one. 1516 01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,559 Speaker 1: Like me when I'm talking about things, my dad always 1517 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,240 Speaker 1: gets mad at me when he listens to me on 1518 01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,720 Speaker 1: the radio and he's like, you need to have more opinions, 1519 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 1: more strong opinions. You just agree with everybody. And I'm like, 1520 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:16,720 Speaker 1: what's wrong with the green with everybody. Dad. Yeah, he's 1521 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:21,600 Speaker 1: right though, because game conditions may necessitate you run the 1522 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:23,160 Speaker 1: ball a little bit more. I mean it started pouring 1523 01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 1: rain the second half of the game last week. I 1524 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 1: don't think it rendered passing games unusable, but it always 1525 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:32,760 Speaker 1: puts in the back of the mind of a coordinator 1526 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 1: like well, on ball security, right now, we may want 1527 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 1: to hold onto it and just run the thing right now. 1528 01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,439 Speaker 1: You know, Josh, the ball slips out of his hand, 1529 01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 1: it's an errand pass. Maybe it's going other way for 1530 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,720 Speaker 1: a pick. So that's something to think about opponent's defensive 1531 01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:48,960 Speaker 1: strengths or trends. Yeah, I mean that factors in every 1532 01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 1: week to a game plan and whether you're decide you're 1533 01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:52,840 Speaker 1: gonna try to run the ball or throw it more. 1534 01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 1: The more successful offense is one that can be agile. Yes, 1535 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:01,160 Speaker 1: which is why I'm Buffalo's to do list. It was 1536 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,920 Speaker 1: run the ball more effectively. It might not mean more, 1537 01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:06,599 Speaker 1: but when you need to turn to it, it has 1538 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,720 Speaker 1: to be there for you to utilize and more importantly, 1539 01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:15,920 Speaker 1: for defensive opponents to respect and play honest against. And 1540 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,160 Speaker 1: fortunately for the Bills, I think through the first two 1541 01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:21,559 Speaker 1: weeks it has done that. It has least checked that box. 1542 01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,599 Speaker 1: Where it goes from here, I think is, like Matt said, 1543 01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 1: going to depend on opponent where their strengths are, and 1544 01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,200 Speaker 1: maybe quite frankly, what the Bill's offensive line is doing 1545 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:35,559 Speaker 1: better because they factor into that equation as well. Tiffany 1546 01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,320 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says being able to attack a 1547 01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 1: defense when they attempt to stop our passing game with 1548 01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 1: the M and M brothers Motor and Moss, So look 1549 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,400 Speaker 1: at Tiffany. Coming up with nicknames only makes sense. They're 1550 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,839 Speaker 1: a nice combination of speed and power. Moss's second touchdown 1551 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,800 Speaker 1: run was an angry, powerful run. I'll take a bunch 1552 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,320 Speaker 1: of those the rest of the season. I think we'd 1553 01:21:56,320 --> 01:22:00,599 Speaker 1: all take those, right Manny, Oh yeah, some angry, powerful 1554 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 1: runs from Zach Moss when he's able to do that. 1555 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,320 Speaker 1: And I want to go back to a point that 1556 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 1: you made in Matt's answer to the twitter question. Think 1557 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:15,040 Speaker 1: back to last year when the weather started to change, 1558 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,519 Speaker 1: when I got colder, when it's harder to throw. Maybe 1559 01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:22,080 Speaker 1: in those conditions, I think all of us and Brian 1560 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,880 Speaker 1: day Ball and Josh Allen, everybody was asked about once 1561 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 1: the weather started to turn in Buffalo, are you guys 1562 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna need to rely on your run game more because 1563 01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:33,880 Speaker 1: the weather's changing, it's getting colder. Are you going to 1564 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,760 Speaker 1: want to run the football more than you're going to 1565 01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:40,200 Speaker 1: pass it? And that was an option that when at 1566 01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:42,640 Speaker 1: least when I thought about it at that point last year, 1567 01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:45,479 Speaker 1: I was like, shoot, if we have to rely on 1568 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,519 Speaker 1: the run here more than we do the pass, I 1569 01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:49,160 Speaker 1: don't know if this team is going to be as 1570 01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:53,000 Speaker 1: effective as they are running the football as they had 1571 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,599 Speaker 1: been with passing the football. So the fact that they're 1572 01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,000 Speaker 1: able to do that now will hopefully just help them 1573 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 1: down the road. I like Andrew's take here on the 1574 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 1: tweet sheet says the only reason they should keep it 1575 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 1: more balanced is if Josh Allen looks pedestrian. If he 1576 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,800 Speaker 1: gets back to MVP form, the ball needs to be 1577 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,439 Speaker 1: in his hand the majority of the time. I'll sign 1578 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,679 Speaker 1: up for that. I mean, as soon as Josh starts 1579 01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:20,240 Speaker 1: flashing twenty twenty, Josh, it's time to throw it more 1580 01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:24,160 Speaker 1: because they're an unstoppable force. When he's in that kind 1581 01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 1: of mode. I mean, there's just no stopping what they 1582 01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,559 Speaker 1: were doing. That's what we saw on the second half 1583 01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,120 Speaker 1: of last season. I mean, they were just putting beatdowns 1584 01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:36,360 Speaker 1: on people hanging thirty burgers weekly, and there was nothing 1585 01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:38,400 Speaker 1: defenses could do about it. I mean, Steve and I 1586 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:40,320 Speaker 1: ain't talk about it all the time on one Bill's 1587 01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:44,200 Speaker 1: Live here. How many coordinators, defensive coordinators we saw along 1588 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:46,920 Speaker 1: the sidelines last year that were standing there checking for 1589 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,800 Speaker 1: rain because they didn't have any answers for what Josh 1590 01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:53,160 Speaker 1: Allen was doing to him. So, yeah, if he gets 1591 01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 1: back to that, throw the hell out of the ball. 1592 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,599 Speaker 1: I don't care. Yeah, we want to see him turn 1593 01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,680 Speaker 1: into an MVP caliber quarterback the one that he was 1594 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,400 Speaker 1: last year. Like I've said before, it might just take 1595 01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,160 Speaker 1: a couple weeks for this offense to get into rhythm, 1596 01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 1: for this passing game to get into rhythm, for our 1597 01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,160 Speaker 1: wide receivers to get into rhythm with Josh Allen. And 1598 01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:15,080 Speaker 1: I do think these defenses know him better. I mean, 1599 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,559 Speaker 1: he was doing things last year that he hadn't put 1600 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,559 Speaker 1: on tape. Before he put on tape. Yeah, as we 1601 01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:24,000 Speaker 1: were going throughout the season, but to start the season 1602 01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:25,760 Speaker 1: with some of the numbers that he was putting up 1603 01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:27,280 Speaker 1: and some of the things that he was doing, this 1604 01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 1: was a very new quarterback that we were looking at, 1605 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,440 Speaker 1: and I think a quarterback that a lot of defenses 1606 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,799 Speaker 1: didn't expect that they would have to scheme up against 1607 01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:37,839 Speaker 1: that's been put in the wide open this past season. 1608 01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:41,880 Speaker 1: Defenses know what they're gonna get with Josh, and so 1609 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 1: defensives have already been limiting what Josh is able to do. 1610 01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,080 Speaker 1: The Steelers did it with their zone defense. The Miami 1611 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 1: Dolphins did it with their corners playing manned defense and 1612 01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:58,040 Speaker 1: limiting our wide receivers to giving Josh Allen really good 1613 01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,240 Speaker 1: looks at times. This is going to be be a 1614 01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:03,439 Speaker 1: team that defenses play a little bit better, I think 1615 01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,759 Speaker 1: this year, just based on what they know about Josh 1616 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:10,320 Speaker 1: Allen and our receivers. Now, we'll finish up with Brad 1617 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,559 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet today, and I think he's a 1618 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:16,960 Speaker 1: good ending point to finish on here. In terms of 1619 01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:20,080 Speaker 1: Bills being more balanced attack going forward, Brad says the 1620 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,799 Speaker 1: more balanced attack keeps defenses on their heels and forces 1621 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 1: them to game plan more. You have to have a 1622 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,480 Speaker 1: run game in order to succeed in the NFL, especially 1623 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,440 Speaker 1: when trying to close out games late. That's the traditional 1624 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,000 Speaker 1: be able to run it when they know you're going 1625 01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 1: to run it and close the game out anyway, the 1626 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:39,720 Speaker 1: form in a drill, etc. Etc. Etc. I get all that. 1627 01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm just glad that we're seeing a running game that 1628 01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 1: looks like it's going to be at least able to 1629 01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:50,080 Speaker 1: keep defenses honest. They can't just tee off and come, 1630 01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:54,720 Speaker 1: you know, hell or high water. After Josh Allen, you 1631 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 1: know they can. There's a threat that they may go 1632 01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:00,519 Speaker 1: to something else in the run game and dash them 1633 01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,280 Speaker 1: that way. So what they've done through the first two 1634 01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,639 Speaker 1: weeks I think is going to pay dividends for their 1635 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:10,080 Speaker 1: passing game going forward, because defenses have to respect what 1636 01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,280 Speaker 1: Zach Moss and Devin Singletary in the offensive line have 1637 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,840 Speaker 1: been able to put on film through these first two weeks. 1638 01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,120 Speaker 1: And also it's just been two weeks. Am I convinced 1639 01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:22,800 Speaker 1: that we completely have a run game now through two weeks? No, 1640 01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,160 Speaker 1: I think we need more games put together where we 1641 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:30,520 Speaker 1: see Zack Moss, Devin Singletary, Matt Brita running the ball effectively. 1642 01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be fooled in two games to 1643 01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,160 Speaker 1: think like, Wow, here's our run game that showed up. 1644 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:39,759 Speaker 1: It could be how the defenses have played the Bills 1645 01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:41,800 Speaker 1: in the first two games that have really allowed the 1646 01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:43,880 Speaker 1: run game to take off in the way that it 1647 01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:48,559 Speaker 1: has to give us the sixth best running rushing offense 1648 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:50,800 Speaker 1: through the first two games. So I think we need 1649 01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:53,960 Speaker 1: to see consistency here going forward when they choose to 1650 01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,880 Speaker 1: go to the run, that Devin Singletary and Zach Moss 1651 01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,600 Speaker 1: can be as effective as they have been in the 1652 01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 1: first two weeks and also pop off some of those 1653 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,120 Speaker 1: long runs that we've seen them each do in the 1654 01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:08,000 Speaker 1: first two games. All Right, Maddie and I have to 1655 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:10,280 Speaker 1: take a break here, but we will come back to 1656 01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 1: close things up here on a Tuesday edition of One 1657 01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:26,559 Speaker 1: Bills Live. Stay tuned, Welcome back to one Bills Live. 1658 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,479 Speaker 1: As we close up this Tuesday edition of the show, 1659 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,639 Speaker 1: the new power rankings are out across the league. Everybody's 1660 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:35,679 Speaker 1: got power rankings these days, as you know, Maddy, They're 1661 01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:39,519 Speaker 1: all over the place. Just about every broadcast partner, every 1662 01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,479 Speaker 1: internet site has power rankings. After the week of games 1663 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 1: are through, what we want to present to you is 1664 01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,000 Speaker 1: the bills are well, excuse me, my computer is going crazy. 1665 01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:56,240 Speaker 1: The bills are perennially listed, perennially consistently listed in the 1666 01:27:56,280 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 1: top ten, which is where they were last week. They're 1667 01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:05,360 Speaker 1: hovering somewhere between four and nine. Maddie and most of 1668 01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 1: the rankings, the teams that are consistently ahead of them Tampa, 1669 01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:16,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City, the Rams, and Baltimore. What do you think 1670 01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 1: of that? Those four teams being consistently listed ahead of 1671 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:24,360 Speaker 1: the Bills. I think a couple makes sense. The Rams, 1672 01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:27,960 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Bucks. I think that makes sense. Did 1673 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 1: I say the Rams? I meant don't. I don't know 1674 01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:34,479 Speaker 1: if the Rams actually makes sense. Baltimore Chiefs, Bucks that 1675 01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,800 Speaker 1: makes sense to me. The Rams not so sure yet. Yeah, 1676 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm okay with the Bucks and Chiefs. I'm not one 1677 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,519 Speaker 1: hundred percent on board with Baltimore just yet, because I 1678 01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:44,559 Speaker 1: still think even though the Bills haven't hit their stride 1679 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 1: on offense, they have a better one than Baltimore does, 1680 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,720 Speaker 1: certainly one that's demonstrated it can be more diversified than 1681 01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,360 Speaker 1: Baltimore is. Granted they've had a lot of injuries. And 1682 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 1: then also with respect to the Rams, they're riding that 1683 01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 1: Stafford wave and I'm not convinced about it yet. I 1684 01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:02,960 Speaker 1: think they will put up points. I just think their 1685 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,080 Speaker 1: defense is a couple of stars and a bunch of guys, 1686 01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 1: and I'm waiting for their defense to kind of the 1687 01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 1: bottom to fall out a little bit from where it 1688 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 1: used to be. Maddie, appreciate you helping me out here 1689 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:15,080 Speaker 1: on Monday and Tuesday. You've got some Bill's coverage duties 1690 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:16,960 Speaker 1: to take care of. On Wednesday and Thursday, I'll see 1691 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:19,439 Speaker 1: you back here.
