1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Down Adam Steve Caster, who has been all over the

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: field unique he was kind of a dual role player

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in the

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: stratosphere of normalcy. Well, who's the big dog in the acas?

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: Who's the boss in the Bills division? For more than

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: twenty years, there's been one answer to that question. The

7
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: Patriots have owned the AFC East. The Bills have not

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: won the division since nineteen ninety five. Today won't solve everything,

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: but a Buffalo victory might be the start of a

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: new narrative. Jock hands it off. Zach Moss has an

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: alley into the end zone. He is in touchdown Buffalo

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: Zack Moss touchdown for the Bills and ain't guard run

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: by the rookie. Third and eight at the forty one

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: John starts it intercepted, picked off by New England, picked

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: off by j. C. Jackson down the right sideline. That's

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: where he's headed. On stout from the Patriots forty five

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: cuts it break down the middle, cut by Zafon takes.

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: He's in the open field at the twenty, inside the fifteen,

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: inside the ten, and it is down. Finally, Josh hands

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: it off Zach Moss starts right and cuts up the middle,

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: buries his head, keeps his feet churn. He got flapping

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: into the end zone, and he is touchdown Buffalo. The

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: snap in his Harris again, this time burst straight up

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: the middle, breaks a tackle, gets by a man, Pruce

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: is into the end zone. Touchdown New England or two

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: point conversion. Camp takes a snam gonna throw it, fires

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: into the end zone. It is caught. This game is

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: tied up with three h three left to play. In

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: the third quarter, Josh's gonna keep it himself, Gonna dive

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: over the pile. Hecked into the end zone, touchdown, touchdown Buffalo.

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: James White in the backfield cam takes a snap, gonna

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: keep it himself, heads left and he cruises into the

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: end zone. Touchdown New England. He just walks in. The

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: game is tied once again. To break the tie, twenty

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: eight yard attempt. The kick is up, the kick is

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: on the way and the kick is dead solid, perfect

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: and to take the shot gun snap takes it, gonna

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: keep it in, run with it left side, gets good

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: yardage inside the fifth Oh, no, ball comes out, loose ball,

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: Who's got it? The Bills may have it. It is

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: Puffabo ball, Cam Newton bumble that the twelve yard line

Speaker 1: of the Bills recover unbelievable finish twenty four twenty one.

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: The Bills come out on top. As the players slowly

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: file their way to the locker. I'll tell you what, though,

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: as good as it feels, mirtha Bill's got some soul

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: searching to do. Tip your hats to the Patriots too.

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: They came in here, hobble and to put up a

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: fight like this in this stadium against this Bills team

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: is playing so well for so long in the first

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: half of this season. Man oh man, what a close game.

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: That is your Toshiba game rewind the official copier company

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome to a Bills victory Monday,

53
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: something that we haven't been able to say for a

54
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: while in the aftermath of a Bill's Patriots matchup. But

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: here we are in twenty twenty and that has come

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: to pass, thankfully. And it wasn't the prettyest thing in

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: the world. But I don't know that too many people care,

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: right right. I was listening to that recap, and you know,

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: not only did I say something when that ball came out.

60
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: I callared ball. But you can see once it recovered,

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the guys in the radio booth were yelling.

62
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, yeah, we're we happen to have our radio

63
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: booth is right next to the executive suite for the Bills,

64
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: and those guys were going crazy as well. That was

65
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: That was an enormous play. I was probably the player

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. Um, certainly. I think

67
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: it was the defensive play the first half of the season.

68
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: Wow for the Bills that punch out to ice the

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots, to send the Bills to six

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: and two and go four and oe of the division. Yeah,

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: it was pretty meaningful. Do you think that the Patriots

72
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: score there? Do you think they score the game winning

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: touchdown there? That's what I was thinking. If they don't

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: get the turnover, That's what I was thinking. That's what

75
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: I was afraid of because what we're down to forty

76
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: seven seconds? I want to say, yeah, it was gonna

77
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: at the snap of that play, I think it was

78
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: forty seven seconds and they still had all their time.

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, there was a couple of instances

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: there and it's been echoed in national media and the

81
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: local media in New England as well. That you know,

82
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: there were times during that game when the Patriots, when

83
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots play selection just shouted, we don't trust Cam Newton.

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know one right, and they just did

85
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: not trust him and and it showed now they trusted

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: him a little more obviously at the end of the game.

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: Even that trust him to run the football was a

88
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: scary proposition. But the turnovers of the one turnovers that

89
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: the Bills had swung that game hugely in the first

90
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: half and gave the Patriots a chance to get within

91
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: one point at halftime, and that turnover at the end

92
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: ice did in favor of the Bills. So I turnovers

93
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: were crucial in the game and set the tone for

94
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: it each one, and that last one by the Patriots

95
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: that couldn't have been timed worse obviously, And I know

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: that Coach McDermott in film review is going to be

97
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: praising Dean Marlowe for perfect technique on fumble recovery hand placement. Yeah,

98
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: fingers down. There's a lot of thumbs out, scoop a

99
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: lot of time, and this is one of those games,

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: in a close game like this where you know, for

101
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: thirty five games or forty one games, we've been watching

102
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: the Patriots do this to the Buffalo Bills, where that

103
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: one coaching thing happens and they were prepared for some

104
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: unexpected thing and they make the most of it. Tyler

105
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Metakevich covering a surprise on side, not bailing out at

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: the front line, coming up just and catching it as

107
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: sweet as you please and just laying down on it.

108
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Short field touchdown Bills. They go up by seven. Big play.

109
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Well it's a heads up play. Yes, it's a heads

110
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: up play. I think it spoke volumes as to where

111
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick believes his offense is right now, because people

112
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: are saying they were blowing me up on Twitter after

113
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: that play. What the hell is Belichick think and doing

114
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: that in the third quarter of a tight game? And

115
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: I said, the reason he's doing it is because he

116
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: has zero faith that his offense is going to be

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: able to go seventy five yards and score, right, So

118
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: he's trying to shorten the field on special teams for

119
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,119
Speaker 1: his offense to give them a better chance of scoring points.

120
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: That's why, I mean, the only other evidence you needed

121
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: was at the end of the first half. You know,

122
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: what you're referencing the lack of faith in Cam Newton.

123
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Eighteen third down, twelve seconds, third down and one inside

124
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line, and they're gonna kick the field

125
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: goal on third down. They're not even gonna look at

126
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: the end zone and throw a football, not even gonna

127
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: attempt it. I mean, it was like my eyes almost

128
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: fell out of my head. That was the ultra conservative

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: thing to do because they wanted to keep the game

130
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: close and have a chance to win it, which is

131
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: exactly what happened at the end of that game that

132
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: you had a feeling and there was a lot there

133
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: was a lot of angst around Buffalo Bill's fan base,

134
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: and I'll probably on their sideline too, like how are

135
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: we going to stop him? They had and stopped him,

136
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: and you know that that you just knew it was

137
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: gonna be another Patriot game where they stole it at

138
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the wire just by keeping it close and you just

139
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: couldn't get it done. And two undrafted guys made the

140
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: play of the game, Justin Zimmer and Dean Marlowe, you

141
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: know too, And I love it. Whether he whether he

142
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: was forty two or fifty two, that game is very

143
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: different that Tom Brady's taking snaps for the Patriots. Yeah,

144
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Bills win that game. Probably not.

145
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I said it on the show on Friday. Tom Brady

146
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: is or may I said it on the pregame yesterday.

147
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the ultimate equalizer. He is the ultimate equalizer,

148
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: even in a game when you are down, if he

149
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: is on your roster, he can pull you even or

150
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: pull you ahead a game. Bills fans saw time and

151
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: time and time again. Eleven point lead in the fourth

152
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: quarter up in New England. I mean, I remember the

153
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: Bills are up twenty four thirteen. Ye, there's fifteen minutes left,

154
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: not big enough of a lead where they're gonna lose

155
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: the game, and you can see and we never saw it.

156
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: We saw it sometimes when he like last year when

157
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: it were two very close games with the Buffalo Bills

158
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: and you feel like the Bills that like the Patriots,

159
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: escape both those That's the way it happens. Tom Brady

160
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: does it. Although this yesterday, he wouldn't have had Nakiel Harry,

161
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have had Erleman Edelman, and he would have

162
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: had five undrafted players in the last three years playing

163
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver for him, but the Bills struggled to put

164
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: pressure on him, and the Bills would not have had

165
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: to worry about Tom Brady breaking loose and running on him.

166
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: So it would have been a different game, a much

167
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: different game for Patriots. But I know this, their play

168
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: selection wouldn't have said we don't trust our quarterback. I

169
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: think they would have taken a shot at the end

170
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: zone on third and one inside the fifteen yard line

171
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the half with twelve seconds on

172
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: the clock, and then then kicked the field goal on

173
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: fourth down. If they didn't get in, they would have

174
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: had to find a way to get a running game

175
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: going without their quarterback being able to do it if

176
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: it would have been Brady. But you know, yeah, there,

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: how different does that team look because of the guy

178
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: take snaps right? And there are other contributing factors for sure.

179
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: All the you know, they had eight opt outs, They've

180
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: lost people to injury. You know, as Steve mentioned, Edelman

181
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: and Harry their top two receivers in terms of receptions,

182
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: didn't play in this game. And still it was a

183
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: nail biter. You know, the coach on the other side

184
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: kind of made it close there, But you know, you

185
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: get the win, and you survive in advance. I am

186
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty. I am totally on board with

187
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: the March Madness approach. Survive and advance. I don't care

188
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: how pretty it is. I don't care how ugly the

189
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: win is. I don't care if it was a complete

190
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: three phase drubbing. I don't care if it was a

191
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: two phase horror show and a one phase you know, excelling.

192
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't care win the dang game. That's just because

193
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, Steve, if the Bills win

194
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: this division, and they're in very good position to do

195
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: so now at four and oh, if the Bills win

196
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: this division get a home playoff game, do you think

197
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: anybody's gonna work about the quality of the win in

198
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: Week eight against the Patriots. He'll know that's correct. It's

199
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: a win as a win, and you'd take it and

200
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: you just move on. You learn from it, and you're

201
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: thankful for it, and you'd try and get better than

202
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: next week. And there were other games like that in

203
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: the league. Yesterday. Yeaholoa throws for fewer than one hundred

204
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: yards and they beat They beat the Rams by eleven

205
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: because they get a fumble return for a touchdown, and

206
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: they had some other wacky score uh, because Jared Teams

207
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, Jared gottun return for a touchdown because

208
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: Jared Goff couldn't hold on to the dang football. And

209
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: so the Dolphins win a game they probably had no

210
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: right winning because the Rams in that game had a

211
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty six net yard advantage. They rushed

212
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: for net fifty five yards in the game the Dolphins Dolphins, Yeah,

213
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: and he threw for ninety three. Yeah, I mean they

214
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: had a they didn't. The Rams didn't have three hundred

215
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: and twenty six yards. They had a three hundred twenty

216
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: six yard advantage over what the Dolphins did offensively. And

217
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: I think if I I looked at this and I

218
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: almost fell over when I saw it. But the Dolphins

219
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: right now are the number one scoring defense in football,

220
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Number one. Now that's due in the large part to

221
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: the fact that they shut out the Jets. I mean

222
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: that's a big reason why. I mean, you get a

223
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: shutout on your schedule, that's going to drop the points

224
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: per game against precipitously. But they only gave up seventeen

225
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: to the Rams because they turned them over, and there

226
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: they are right behind the Bills half game back two

227
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: interceptions and the fumbles, the fumble return for a touchdown.

228
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean it was an immediate seven points off of

229
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: that turnover, and then they had a special team's touchdown

230
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: as well, and they win the game pretty comfortably twenty

231
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: eight seventeen. So yeah, the Dolphins are the threat. And

232
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: their schedule I don't think is quite as difficult as

233
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: that of the Bills. They have some tough games, but

234
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: not nearly as many as Buffalo has. I found the game,

235
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: the overtime game last night, Steve or Lay game between

236
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: the Saints and the Bears to be interesting. There they

237
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: are in overtime, there's about two minutes left, and Sean

238
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: Payton decides we're going to kick a forty three yard

239
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: field goal right here, right now on first down in

240
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: fifteen instead of trying to get a little bit closer.

241
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's faith in your kicker. But here's the

242
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: interesting thing for the Saints. That was their first outdoor

243
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: game this season, Week eight. They hadn't played outside yet

244
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: and they're playing out in Chicago. That's a lot of

245
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: faith in your kicker there. And Will LUTs is one

246
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: of the best in the league. But I was I

247
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: was surprised they didn't at least, you know, run a play,

248
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: center the ball, you know, call time out, get a

249
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: little closer, make a little easier. I mean he kicked

250
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: the field goal. He made it. They win the game.

251
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of a mood point. But I

252
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: found it interesting that he was kicking up the fifteen.

253
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of interesting stuff going on in that

254
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: Bears Saints game last night. Did you see the Javon

255
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: Wins play? What is going on? He claims the guys

256
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: spit on him and that's why he went after him

257
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: a player or two later. Yeah, but I don't know. Yeah,

258
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's crazy. Uh yeah, if you haven't

259
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: seen it, you can look it up. That's Javon Wims

260
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: and the plays away from him as a running play.

261
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: He comes off and he kind of stock blocks the

262
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: cornerback and then he a different cornerback is standing ten

263
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: yards away. He runs over to that guy, gets his

264
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: attention and sucker punches him on the side of the helmet. Yeah,

265
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: and that guy stands there like, when what are you doing?

266
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: And he does it again. He like takes another cocks

267
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: him again, and of course the guy's not hurt because

268
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: he's wearing a helmet. And of course Wims is immediately

269
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: ejected and you'll probably won't see him for a month

270
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They're saying, Yeah, they're saying, he's not

271
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: only gonna get fine, he's gonna get suspended, and any

272
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: should be that's that is childish behavior. And I don't

273
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: know what is going that's a bad look. Getting back

274
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: to this Bill's game, the run game, I was encouraged,

275
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: and I know that people are gonna say, well, there

276
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: was a snooze fest and blah blah blah. You had

277
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: two backs over eighty yards for the first time since

278
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen for the Bills, and you had a run

279
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: game that dictated play. Yesterday, the Patriots said, well, we're

280
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna drop seven into coverage. We're gonna put They had

281
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: seven defensive backs on the field at times yesterday, and

282
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: so what else do you expect Briant able to do? Oh,

283
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: you want to put seven dbs on the field, All right,

284
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: we'll run it. Somebody made the observation the Patriots played

285
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: the Bills exactly like the Bills played the Chiefs. They

286
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: invited them to run the football, keep it winning a

287
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: one score game. Link shorten the game. Let them shorten

288
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: the game and keep you in it. Yeah, by not

289
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: being able to put together long sustained drives or at

290
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: least not score enough points that you can't keep up.

291
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: The problem for the Bills was that they couldn't get

292
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots off the field. Yeah, but they end up

293
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: winning the football game. But that was the same strategy

294
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: used by Sean McDermott and company against the Kansas City Chiefs.

295
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: Ends up in a one point one point game, in

296
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: a game where you think maybe you haven't got the

297
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: firepower offensively to keep up, right. I just I was

298
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: encouraged that they basically said we're gonna run the football.

299
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: You may know it's coming, but we're gonna run in anyway.

300
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: And they were effective. I mean they were effective running

301
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: the football, averaging five yards to carry. The two backs

302
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: did even better than that individually. I think they were

303
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: both over six. I was encouraged by that, and I

304
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: think John Feliciano unquestionably made a difference guys in the

305
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: last year of his contract. They got to resign that guy.

306
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: He is a quintessential driving force of that offensive line.

307
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Like when he is in the game, he raises the

308
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: level of the other four men on that line with him.

309
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: He is that he has that kind of impact, he's

310
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: that important. Like he is just he's a different cat.

311
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: And you know, like you were saying about Freddie Smerless

312
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: last Friday, if there's something going on on the field,

313
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: if he's not the first man and he's on his way, right,

314
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: that's John Feliciano, And there's a trickle down effect from

315
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: that to the other linemates. And how about first series,

316
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: Morse goes out, Ryan Bates comes in to finish that

317
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: first possession, but after that, Feliciano its center the rest

318
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: of the way. And we've seen him do that seamlessly before.

319
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: You've got a couple of offs, but not after missing

320
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: the whole season, right, took no snaps at center in

321
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: practice this past week. None, And you know, and there

322
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: he is playing probably what amounted to fifty snaps at center.

323
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean, just you gotta tip your hat to the game.

324
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: And that's a heck of a performance. It's a fantastic

325
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: performance by him. It'll be interesting to see how fast

326
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: Cody Ford can get back on the field. I think

327
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: this is an offensive line, and think about it, they

328
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: played eight games in the regular season, never had the

329
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: offensive line they thought they were going to have to

330
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: begin the season. Feliciano has been out until yesterday, and

331
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: now Cody Ford was out before. Felicianica now back. Now

332
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse is out, so they've had to do some

333
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: shifting around. We've seen Brian Winters has been in and out,

334
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: Buttger has been in and out. They've played a lot

335
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: of people on the offensive line. So it's, you know,

336
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: a compliment to them that they're at six and two

337
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: on the season, headed at the second half. Hopefully they'll

338
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: get some at least some stability up front. I know

339
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: there were a good number of fans tweeting at me

340
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: on social media expressing concern over Mitch Morrise's condition. You know,

341
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: sustain the concussion on that first series of the game,

342
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: obviously did not return, placed in concussion protocol. But I

343
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: think they are the reason why they're so concerned is

344
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: they remember the length of time he was out last summer.

345
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: New addition to the roster in free agency in twenty nineteen,

346
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: sustains or goes into a concussion protocol probably the second

347
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: day of training camp, and we don't see him again

348
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: until like the Wednesday practice of week one, when he's

349
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: finally medically cleared. I believe it was five to five

350
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: and a half weeks that he was still in concussion

351
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: protocol because he's had more than one in his career.

352
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Now he has one here on Sunday, And I realize

353
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: every case is different, even for the same person in

354
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: terms of recovery time. But man, they've got to be

355
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: crossing their fingers and toes that number one that he's okay,

356
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: but number two that he recovers a lot quicker than

357
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: he did the last time. And I don't know, No,

358
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's any guarantee because each successive

359
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: one usually doesn't mean good things. So we're certainly thinking about, well,

360
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: worst case scenario. The doctors tell him it's not a

361
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: good idea to play, and next to that is him

362
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: deciding it's not best for him to play. Yeah, that's

363
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: the kind of seriousness that you got to think about

364
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: injuries like this. And I'm not saying it is or isn't.

365
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: And I haven't talked to him much morse or anything,

366
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: but a guy with his history of concussions, it starts

367
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: to be put on the table like this now. It

368
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: certainly has been a full calendar over a full calendar

369
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: year since his last concussion, and that's a positive. But

370
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: we were we went back you and I looked at

371
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: the at the game pass, and I think it happened

372
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: on the on the absolute first play the game, first snap,

373
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: and then he played second down, and then third down

374
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: he took the knee, so there wasn't really and there

375
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: was you know, his content's offensive linement, so it was

376
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: contact in all three plays. But I think the contact

377
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: actually happened on the first play of the game. I

378
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: think he caught Zack Moss's leg as Moss cut up

379
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: behind him. He was taking his guy down to the

380
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: ground and Moss ran by him, and I think he

381
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: got a glancing blow on the side of his head.

382
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: They that's what I observed. And I gotta tell you,

383
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: like side of the helmets, that's it. It seems like

384
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: it happens more from a side blow than than a

385
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: hit from straight on a lot of times. Absolutely, And

386
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: because that's what happen back that, yes, and that's what

387
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: happened to Dawson Knox in week two. He was locking

388
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: on a pass play and he fell down and Dion

389
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: Dawkins was out to his left, engaged with a defensive

390
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: player or the Dolphins, and then as the play moves

391
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: down field, Knox, who's on all fours, is trying to

392
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: get up. Dawkins doesn't see him because he's engaged with

393
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: the defensive player, and he stumbles over Knox and hits

394
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: him in the head with his knee, and two plays later,

395
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is out of the game. And in the

396
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, it's it's crazy. It's just a lot of

397
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: times how much it's friendly fire for those guys on

398
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: the line, it's it's just crazy and you hate to

399
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: see it. But this is five documented concussions suffered by

400
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Morrison his career, so we're certainly wishing him a

401
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: speedy recovery, but that track record causes concern for sure, right,

402
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: So hopefully he's all right and doing okay today. I

403
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: know it's when you have that many the effects can

404
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: sometimes be cumulative, So hopefully he's doing okay. We do

405
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: want to get to your thoughts on the game. At

406
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: eight o three oh five fifty one eighty eight five

407
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty as we're asking you on the

408
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today, aside from the outcome, what was your

409
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: high and your low from Sunday's game. We want to

410
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: know what you like the best from Sunday's performance and

411
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: what troubles you about Sunday's performance. So hit us up

412
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live or give

413
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: us a call eight O three oh five fifty one

414
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: eighty eight five fifty two five fifty. What high low

415
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: did you have coming out of this game, Steve, Like,

416
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: what encouraged you the most about this team going forward?

417
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: And what might concern you the most. I think the

418
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: thing that got me the up era was probably the

419
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: run game, in their ability and decision to stay with it,

420
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: certainly the Patriots. That was what they were giving him defensively,

421
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: and their ability to execute it well enough to keep

422
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: it going and to get two guys with eighty plus

423
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: yards rushing and rush for one hundred and ninety on

424
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: the day. I think that's the thing if they ask you,

425
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: if you ask you to win like that. The Bills

426
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: had the ability to do it in a year when

427
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: they hadn't been able to do it to end anybody.

428
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: They hadn't been able to run the football on anybody.

429
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: And if the Patriots said, okay, if you're gonna beat us,

430
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do this to beat us, the

431
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: Bills got it done. That was big for me. The

432
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: down was still the defense's inability to get those guys

433
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: off the field. They forced four punts on the day,

434
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: which is okay, but their inability to cover guys up

435
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: in the back end get pressure on the on Cam Newton.

436
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: The passing game had two sacks on the day, and

437
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: to stop the run game anymore effectively than they did.

438
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: They were well on their way in that last drive

439
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: to get and beat again with no time on the

440
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: clock and the Patriots walk out of here just like

441
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: they always do. That was close to happening. Now. The

442
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: play by Zimmer is awesome, and the Bills did play okay,

443
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: But I and a day like yesterday, the Bill's mistakes

444
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: that would be absolutely we'd be screaming about today. Go away.

445
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: The Gabriel Davis drop in the in the end zone

446
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: for one would be big. Aj Klein and their inability

447
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: to hang on to get you know, White on the

448
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: James White on the ground on a long pass play

449
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: across the middle and their inability to keep Cam in

450
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: the pocket. There's a lot of stuff defensively that I

451
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: wasn't really happy about, but their ability to run the

452
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: football and do that and move it when they needed

453
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: to was big. And I'm not gonna sit here and

454
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: say I think John Feliciano is the magic elixer that

455
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: made on the ball well, but his play was made

456
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: of difference. He made it, he made some difference. He

457
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: made some difference. Obviously, I'm kind of in the same

458
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: boat here. For me, the high was the fact that

459
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: they were able to dictate play with the run game

460
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: and do it even when New England knew it was

461
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: coming in an effective way. Not in a game breaking way,

462
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: but in an effective way. And I think this will

463
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: have good short term a good short term effect on

464
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: how future opponents play the Bills, because fans are still

465
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: grousing about the fact that our passing games going nowhere.

466
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: All they do is, you know, play cover to shell,

467
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: and we can't do anything in the passing game anymore.

468
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, this is terrible. We're not going anywhere. I'm

469
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now what the Bills put on

470
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: film yesterday in terms of what they did in the

471
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: run game is going to help them going forward. That

472
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: measure of success will help them because it's going to

473
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: force future defenses if they want to play way back

474
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: and keep everything in front of them. The Bills are

475
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: going to turn into the run game again, and coaches

476
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: for these teams Seattle, Arizona, who've had trouble stopping people themselves,

477
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: are gonna say, we're gonna have to bring a safety

478
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: down in the box we got we got, put eight

479
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: in the box if we want to stop these guys

480
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: because they've shown an ability to run. I realize it's

481
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: only one game, but it's on film now. It's the

482
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: first game the Bills have won by something other than

483
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: the way they were winning in the first month, and

484
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: it's on film now, and that has an impact on

485
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: defensive play callers. So if the Bill's turn to have

486
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: to turn to the run game again to pull defenses

487
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: out of that nothing cheap, nothing deep kind of play,

488
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: the evidence that they put on tape this week may

489
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: help in convincing other defensive coaches going forward to maybe

490
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: bring that safety down them. All right, we'll play it

491
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: in the box now, and now you run play action,

492
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: and now maybe some of those passing options down the

493
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: field open up again like they were in the first

494
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: month of the season. I'm not saying it's guaranteed to happen,

495
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: but yesterday could be a good thing going forward for

496
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: what this offense really likes to do, which is throw

497
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: the football all over the yard and get big plays right,

498
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: and they're good at that. I think that's what they

499
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: do best, as weird as it sounds compared to where

500
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: they work twelve months ago, that's what they do best.

501
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: Air it out and throw the deep ball, threatening with

502
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: the deep ball, and I saw it, and Josh did

503
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: a little bit yesterday where he stands in there and

504
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: when he's got time, he'll make some throws. And he

505
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: also made a couple of really nice throws. And we've

506
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: seen it this year pretty consistently. When he rolls right,

507
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. When he rolls left, not so much. Yeah,

508
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: but yesterday was no exception. He had the ball, the

509
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: ball to Davis in the end zone and when you

510
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: see it from which is an off script play, it's

511
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: off script and he throws it and you can see

512
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: it how halfway there the thing starts to wobble, because

513
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: that's the corner of death in this state. The wind.

514
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: It's the wind when you throw it down into that

515
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: scoreboard end zone on the on the visitor's side, in

516
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: that corner where you kick it, and even a kickoffle

517
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: yesterday he saw it. Uh, that is a wind tunnel

518
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: over there. It's still a catchable ball, though he should

519
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: have caught it. Yeah, without question. So my down, My

520
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 1: down is the run defense. I'm still troubled by that. Um.

521
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: I still don't think they found a measure of consistency there.

522
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't feel they've found a measure of winning at

523
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage on a consistent basis. I think,

524
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: you know, Zimmer has been a good high motor player

525
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: to put in there. I thought Harrison Phillips played a

526
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: little bit better yesterday than we had seen in recent weeks.

527
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: We know he's been a healthy scratch each of the

528
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: past couple of games. I want to say I thought

529
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: he played a little bit better yesterday. I think he's

530
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: getting stronger and getting back to the encouraging play that

531
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: we saw from him early last season before the knee injury.

532
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: But there's still too many gaps, giant holes being created. Now.

533
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: I will say this the Patriots offensive line. That's the

534
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: healthiest they've been since Week one, and when they have

535
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: their five regular starters, they're pretty good group. So they

536
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: weren't going against the Sisters of the Poor yesterday. But

537
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: it's troubling how easy offensive lines can open up holes

538
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: for backs and for Cam yesterday at times, I mean

539
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: cavernous holes at times to run through. And then the

540
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: tackling again, I thought the tackling was inconsistent and it's

541
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: got to be so confounding for this coaching staff, who

542
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: drill fundamentals endlessly during the practice week, and I imagine

543
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: they'll go right back to it again this week. But

544
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: the tackling, I don't understand why more players don't break

545
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: down before trying to make the tackle. They try to

546
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: run in and make a tackle at full speed. The

547
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: players in this league are way too good for that.

548
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: Damian Harris shook somebody coming flying at him one hundred

549
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: miles an hour. When you're going at that guy one

550
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour, all you's gotta do is stick

551
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: his foot in the ground and you're you're flying past him.

552
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why more guys aren't breaking down right now.

553
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: And look I know it sounds it's easy to say,

554
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: it's probably harder to do, but it's gotta be more consistent,

555
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: especially especially with what's coming up on the horizon here.

556
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Seahawks are the number three offense in football,

557
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: number one scoring offense in football. They are the twelfth

558
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: rushing team in football, third best passing offense in the league.

559
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: And then after that you've got Arizona the number one

560
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: offense in football, okay, number two rushing attack in the league,

561
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: number fourteen in the past, and a top ten scoring

562
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 1: offense as well. They've got to get stuff fixed in

563
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: a hurry here, just for the next two opponents alone.

564
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm not even worried post by right now. Seattle and

565
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: Arizona throw up thirty points without batting an eye every week.

566
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: They have trouble stopping people themselves, but you know they're

567
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna get theirs. So the consistency has to get better

568
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: in a hurry here if they're gonna have a chance

569
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: in these next two games, because those two offenses are very, very,

570
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: very consistent when it comes to putting up points. All right,

571
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we return,

572
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: we'll get to some of your phone calls at eight

573
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two

574
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: five fifty, tell us aside from yesterday's outcome, what was

575
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: your high and you're low from Sunday's win over the

576
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: Patriots back in a moment here on One Bills Live

577
00:29:54,680 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Chris Brown,

578
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, a victory Monday edition of One Bills Live.

579
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: About an hour and a half, we'll have Eric Wood

580
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: on to break this one down with us, and about

581
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: an hour we'll have Maddie Glab with her Maddie Awards,

582
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: which are handed out after every Bill's victory on Monday,

583
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: So we'll catch up with them a little bit later

584
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: on in the program, but for now, we're going to

585
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: the phones at eight five fifty as we are asking you,

586
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: aside from the win over the Patriots yesterday, what was

587
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: your high and what was your low that you took

588
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: out of yesterday's performance? Eight o three five fifty. We

589
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: do have a line open for you, but we are

590
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: going to lead off with Jim in Raleigh, North Carolina. Jim,

591
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show, Hey, Chris, Hey, Steve,

592
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing today? Doing good? Thanks for

593
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: calling great, You're welcome, Thank you. Okay. My high obviously

594
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: is to be the fumble at the end of the game. Boy,

595
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: you know that look like look like it was slipping

596
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: away from us. And my low is the defense. Again.

597
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: After I listened to you guys, Steve, you and mar

598
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: great job yesterday. You get so excited and it was

599
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: really a pleasure. But I got home and watched the game,

600
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: the quick one, the condensed version, and focused in on Tremaine. Man,

601
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: he's just on the outside of every play in my opinion.

602
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got the talent, but I don't know.

603
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: So defense for me in linebacking corps. And my point

604
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to call about today was, guys, should we

605
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: be happy that we beat the Patriots finally or should

606
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: we be disappointed in the fashion the last two weeks

607
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: that we've beat pretty poor teams. You know, I get

608
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: where you're coming from, Jim. I'll say what I said

609
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: in the earlier segment, probably before you hopped on the

610
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: phone line here, where I basically said the Bills are

611
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: now four and o in the division. They have a

612
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: stranglehold on the division lead. Even if over these next

613
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: five games, which is a gauntlet of a schedule, Let's

614
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: just say hypothetically they only go two and three over

615
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: the next five weeks, they still come out of that

616
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: eight and five and they still have a four and

617
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: o division record. The easiest pathway to the playoffs for

618
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: them is the division title right now, because this next

619
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: five games on the schedule is going to be a bear.

620
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: So let's just assume we get to the end of

621
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: the season, Bills win the division and have a home

622
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: playoff game. How much are you going to care about

623
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: how pretty Sundays win over the Patriots was when we

624
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: get to January and they're hosting a playoff game, are

625
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: you gonna care? No? Probably not right, it's just being

626
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: worried about Yeah, I get it against better team. Yeah, No,

627
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: I get your concern, And thanks again for the call, Jim.

628
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: I get the concern there. And I think you know

629
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: with the teams on the eis in here, most notably

630
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: Seattle and Arizona up next, that their play is going

631
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: to have to take a noticeable uptick in consistency and

632
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: an ability to make a play. Steve, I'm sitting there

633
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: yesterday watching this defense going somebody make a play, someone

634
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: anyone make a play, and fortunately Justin Zimmer did it

635
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: with thirty seven seconds left on the clock. I mean,

636
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: how much more are we gonna cut it down to

637
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: the end end of the game there, But somebody's got

638
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: to make a play. It just seems and you and

639
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: I were talking about it during the break, it just

640
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: seems like the playmaking ability of this defense isn't even

641
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: what it was last year. Forget about the consistency. We

642
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: know that's not there visibly. But we heard Tradevious White

643
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: two weeks ago say, I think the kind of defense

644
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna be as a takeaway defense, we're gonna thrive

645
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: on turnovers, but we're gonna probably give up yards and

646
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna give up points, and we got to

647
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: hope that we can get the ball and take it

648
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: away from them enough to help our offense to win games. Yeah,

649
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: whenever your defense plays like it has for the Buffalo

650
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: Bills in the first half of this season, you start

651
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: to doubt even the good players. And if Tremaine Edmonds

652
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: has taking some heat over this, no question about it,

653
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: because you know he's not playing as well as we

654
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: saw him play in the middle of the really good

655
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: defense last year. I think the chance you have to

656
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: look around and say, okay, what's changed around these guys

657
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: who we have some pretty good you know, a little

658
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: bit of faith in And I think that's where you

659
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: kind of look at it when you're when you're struggling

660
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: on one side of the ball, makes you doubt everything.

661
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: Fans as well, Uh, you're you know, you're dying whether

662
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: we could we ever get a stop? You know, can

663
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: anybody ever make a player? Are they ever going to

664
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: be a good defense again? Can this group, constituted as

665
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: it is, be good enough to complement an offense that's

666
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: come a long way since last year? Uh? I think

667
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: you gotta take your whole team and as a total package.

668
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: You can slice it up as you want, say, yeah,

669
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: the defense would play better, Yeah, certainly if the if

670
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: the Bills could play with the you know, the two

671
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: thousand you know ball more raven defense, yeah, it'd be

672
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: pretty good. But I think you got to wrap this

673
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: whole thing into one big bundle and say, as a whole,

674
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 1: the Bills are pretty good football team. Six and two.

675
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: They got beat by a couple of pretty good teams

676
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: in the first half of the season and they're beating

677
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: They're winning against the teams they should win, and they're

678
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: struggling against teams that maybe would test most teams. But

679
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: for right now, I think they've got it under the

680
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: hood to do it. But they're gonna have to play

681
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: more consistently defensively or they're gonna have to cause or

682
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: make their own breaks offensively to win games against really

683
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: good football teams. I think we all know there this

684
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: team is flawed. They're not perfect, but it's a rarity

685
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: to see a team that's perfect in each and every week.

686
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: Once in a while you get a perfect week or

687
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: a week there where they play better. That's where the

688
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: Bills have got to think. They've got to get to

689
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: in the coming month and a half to stay on

690
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: this path. But for right now, they're incompleting their little

691
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: bit flawed. I'm not saying it has to stay that way,

692
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: but they're where they are good there. They seem to

693
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: be really good and that you know for this year

694
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: they can hang that on the offensive side of the football.

695
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this quickly because we do have

696
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: to get back to the phones. Tremaine Edmonds, I don't

697
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: want to be an apologist for him, But how much

698
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: is he hurt by the inconsistent play in front of

699
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: him on the defensive line. Oh, I think everybody is.

700
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: I they're not getting any pressure. They get a couple

701
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: of hits on Cam Newton, but Cam Newton's a quarter

702
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: was a bad He's a bad quarterback right now. But gap, responsibility, execution,

703
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: push off the line, that all impacts the linebackers right now. Absolutely,

704
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: I think that now. And I think Tremaine Edmonds is

705
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: totally a victim of that to some extent. And I'm

706
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: sure he hasn't played a perfect game either, But I

707
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: think the inconsistent play and the inconsistent pass pressure has

708
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: made the secondary look worse. It's made their run defense

709
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: look worse because of the play of the defensive line

710
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: up front. I think they've got new faces that and

711
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know whether they're undersized up front,

712
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: or they got some guys who just can't hold their

713
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: ground up front, or whether they got guys who are

714
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: making mental mistakes up front. But it doesn't look the

715
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: same at the line of scrimmage that it did a

716
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: year And as coach McDermott says, all the time. It

717
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: starts up front. Back to the phones. At eight oh

718
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty, we go to Greg and Elmira. Greg,

719
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show him.

720
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: I was very impressed with Jordan Poyer yesterday. I mean,

721
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: he was all over the field and sad the safety

722
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: bakes all are tackled, but that's beside the point. You know,

723
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: he did the job. I was very disappointed, and I've

724
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: been all season in Brian Winters. He was flagged for

725
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: two more penalties. Again, he's good for at least one

726
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: a game, and if you watched the first quarter over again,

727
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: you'll see his man was all over the field. And

728
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: I'm still missed about Quentin Spain. Maybe when they moved

729
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain from left guard to white guard that had

730
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: something to do with maybe Quentin couldn't have just playing

731
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: white guard. But I miss Quentin Spain and that's all

732
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: I have to say. Yeah, okay, fair enough. He's in

733
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: Cincinnati now. He's signed with the Bengals this past week,

734
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: so he's employed and playing for somebody else. Yeah, I mean,

735
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line did pretty well yesterday, all

736
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: things considered. Winners is still a little bit new on

737
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: the scene. I'm not using that as an excuse for him.

738
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: I know he's also been nicked up. He's got a

739
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: knee issue that he's kind of playing through right now.

740
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: And this is an offensive line that's that's nicked up

741
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: on the interior. You've got Morse now in concussion protocol.

742
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: Cody Ford's still trying to come back from a knee injury,

743
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: and just said goodbye to Quentin Spain. So there's a

744
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: very good chance that John Felician's gonna have to play

745
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: center this week, and that Ike Butcker may have to

746
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: start a guard if Cody Ford can't return, and then

747
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: you have Brian Winners on the other side. So their

748
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: depth is being tested right now at a time where

749
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: it seems like that line is just finally starting to

750
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: yell a little bit and execute some of those combination

751
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: blocks effectively. So it's kind of a shame that, you know,

752
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: it's been a series of fits and starts for getting

753
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: their best five on the field. Yeah, stability would go

754
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: a long way, and they haven't had that, And of

755
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: course they've been standing there waiting. I think they were

756
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: and I know you missed Quentin Spain. I think some

757
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: of the players miss him as well, but I think

758
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: they made a decision based on his play, but he's

759
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: not here. I don't think it's anything else. And for

760
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: whatever you see in Brian Winters, they saw the coaching

761
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: staff who watches and would you would think knows they

762
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: saw more and Brian Winters than they did in Quentin Spain.

763
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: Otherwise Winters would be the one that's gone. So they

764
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: are turning over every stone on the offensive line for

765
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: combinations that work, and also on the defensive line. They

766
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: continue to do that trade. That deadline is tomorrow and

767
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: I know this is this will be our topic for tomorrow,

768
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: more about you know what you would do as a

769
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: GM if you're if you're Brandon being well, you get

770
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: to that tomorrow. But I don't think they are done

771
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: experimenting and plus covering for injuries that have happened during

772
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. One more call before

773
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: we take a break. Here we go to Joe in

774
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Joe, what do you have for us? Welcome

775
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: to One Bill's Live. Hi listen, It's a pleasure to

776
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: be on the show. I'm a long time Bills fan

777
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: from the rock Pile days. HI was the Bills win.

778
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: Of course, I was glad to see them beat the

779
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: hated Patriots. But my low was Wade Marlow. He missed

780
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: some very important tackles. He whipped on one that caught

781
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: that that came a touchdown. That really troubled me. But

782
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: otherwise I was glad to win. I'm a staunch Bills

783
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: fan in Jersey, in Jets and Giants territory. I love

784
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: you guys, and Steve tasking you bring them back a

785
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: lot of good memories. Man. Thanks all right, Joe, Thanks, Joe,

786
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah, Miss, tackles are always going to crush you.

787
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: The best defenses are this and it's truly is this

788
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: simple for the best defenses in the NFL. The first

789
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: guy to the ball makes the tackle. It's that simple.

790
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: It's never anything more complicated than that. And that has

791
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: happened all too infrequently for the Bill's defense. Yeah, and

792
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: where actually our MSG viewers are watching the play where

793
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: Devin or Damian Harris scored on the touchdown run and

794
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: Marlow was the guy that he had to make miss

795
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: and he outleveraged him, and Marlow tried to run up

796
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: at one hundred miles an hour and make a diving

797
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: tackle and then couldn't stick his feet in the ground

798
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: to stop. And that wasn't the only time that that happened,

799
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: So that looks to be easily correctable where you just say, hey, man,

800
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: break down, close the space and wrap up. Yeah, don't

801
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: try to make this flying in tackle, you know, like

802
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: some kind of falcon swooping in and lighting somebody up. Yeah,

803
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: And you got guys, you know, defensive lineman or just

804
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, being able to just to get one arm out,

805
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: and the running backs are running through those arm tackles

806
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: as you would expect NFL running back to be able

807
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: to do, and just not enough contact in at the

808
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: point of attack, right at the line of scrimmage. For

809
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: these running backs to break their momentum and give you

810
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: guys a chance to rally there. Just to give a

811
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: couple of extra steps in pursuit is huge. That's why

812
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: when you're running back kind of stops and you know,

813
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: stops and maybe change direction when they you cause him

814
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 1: to lose speed. That's why defenses are really effective against

815
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: those guys because they're still running flat out and if

816
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: he stops to change direction, you catch up to him.

817
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: And there's so many times when they're just not causing

818
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: enough hesitation at the line of scrimmage for these running

819
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: backs either to pick a hole or to get through contact.

820
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: And that's why you know you're getting him into the secondary.

821
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: And a guy like Jordan Porter's got ten unassisted tackles.

822
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: He was all over the field yesterday for sure, very active,

823
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: active player, and that's not the first time he's done

824
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: that this season. We do have to take a break,

825
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: but there is some trade news out there as the

826
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: trade deadline is tomorrow. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the

827
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: forty nine ers have traded linebacker Kwan Alexander to the Saints.

828
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: So we'll see if there's other player movement as we

829
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: move through the afternoon today and obviously tomorrow before that

830
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: four o'clock deadline. Gotta take a break here, but back

831
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: to more of your phone calls when we return here

832
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's

833
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Josh Shallon's pointing out traffic waiting for

834
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: the snap and the short shotgun. Now the snap, John's

835
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna keep it himself, gonna dive over the pile. Heckton

836
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: in the end zone, touch down, touchdown Buffalo. John Shallon

837
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: ran for two yards and scored on that play. And

838
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: that is your Hunt Red Zone play of the game.

Speaker 1: as we are closing out our number one of A

842
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: Bill's victory Monday edition of One Bills Live, broadcasting live

843
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studios on a windswept day here in

844
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. They're expecting it to be even windier today

845
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: than it was yesterday as the ring tapered off yesterday,

846
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: but the wind never seemed to stop and probably impacted

847
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: the play callers in terms of how much they wanted

848
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: to throw the football. But back to the phones, and

849
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: we're asking you, aside from the outcome, what was your

850
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: high and your low from Sunday's game for this team

851
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: going forward? Now? At six and two eight h three

852
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: oh five fifty line open for you there, we go

853
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: to Mark in Wheatfield to lead us off. Mark, what

854
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Welcome to One Bills Live. Yes, Hi, guys,

855
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: how you doing? OK? Yeah? I called a couple of

856
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago and I was a person that made a

857
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: comment about the Bills being one of the worst tackling

858
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, and the last couple of games

859
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 1: is kind of like proving me right. Yeah, I mean

860
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: in terms of statistics, But I told you so. I

861
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: would like to make a defensive comments. Sure, um uh,

862
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: it's obvious the Bills are having a lot of problems

863
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: on defense, and I think the major problem is they're

864
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: very undersized on the defensive line as a result of

865
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: getting rid of a couple of their best defensive lineman

866
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: last year in trades like loss and Um. When they

867
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: when they obtained At Oliver through the draft, I thought

868
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: he was a very undersized lineman with a lot of speeds,

869
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: and I always thought maybe he would be good as

870
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: a middle linebacker. So I think if the Bill went

871
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: to a three to four instead of a four to three,

872
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: with Oliver and Edmonds in the middle and Climb and

873
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: Milano on the on the end, I think they'd have

874
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more success. You could put a big

875
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: guy over the center just to occupy you. Don't you

876
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: don't have that big guy though, Mark and Use on

877
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: the end. Yeah, more undersized than a four to three

878
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: as it is, you go to a three to four.

879
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: You need even bigger men up front. You need a

880
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: true two gap man to play nose tackle for you.

881
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: They don't have that guy on this roster. Mark, you

882
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: can't wave a magic one and just say you're gonna

883
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: good turn from a defensive three technique tackle to a

884
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. I mean, that's that's crazy talk. It's crazy

885
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: talk athleticism aside. If if it was all just wave

886
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: a magic one or just you make that change from

887
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: now on, you're gonna line up right here and do

888
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: what you just did. That's yeah, there's about nineteen things

889
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: that have to happen before any of that's even considered.

890
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: And they're certainly not going to change to a three

891
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: four defense because they're undersized. That I mean, I get

892
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: where you're saying they need to try some things, but

893
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: what you're saying is, yeah, it's not gonna happen. And

894
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna reiterate for Mark so he knows. The

895
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: Bills are not one of the worst tackling teams in football.

896
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: Did they miss tackles yesterday? Yes? Are they one of

897
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: the worst tackling teams in football? No? I've got the

898
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: NFL league stats right here in front of me. Through

899
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: Week eight missed tackle percentage, the Bills have missed on

900
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: nine percent of their total tackles this season. That is

901
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: their mistackle percentage. You want to know where that ranks,

902
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: It's twenty first. The worst tackling team in the league.

903
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: Leading the league and mistackle percentage are the Raiders, followed

904
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: by the Jets, the Panthers, and the Washington football team.

905
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: Arizona's number five and it goes from there. So if

906
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: you want to say who are the best tackling teams

907
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: in football, it would be New England is the best

908
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,959
Speaker 1: tackling team in football if you can believe it. They've

909
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: only missed on five point seven percent of their tackles

910
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: attempt this year, and so that puts the Bills. Let

911
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,720
Speaker 1: me see eleventh, eleventh, best tackling team in the league.

912
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: They're not one of the worst. Just letting you know

913
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: what the stats are telling us miss tackle percentage. So

914
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: there you are, back to the phones and we go

915
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: to Kyle, who's calling from the state capitol, Albany. Kyle,

916
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show.

917
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks for having me. Will I guess my

918
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: high would be uh, you know, the obviously the running game,

919
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: but more importantly the whole season is Dion Dawkins that contract.

920
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: He's really living up to it. You know, he's not

921
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: playing top five tackle, but he's playing way above average

922
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: and he's definitely earning that paycheck. So it's good to

923
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: see that. My down would be the linebackers. I watched

924
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: the play yesterday with Milano and he put his head

925
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: down in whiffed air, and being a guy who's growing

926
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: up around football, you do that for two reasons. One,

927
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 1: you don't know how to tackle and you're just trying

928
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 1: to hit some of these lights out, so you dropped

929
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: the head, which is dangerous. Or two you're afraid to

930
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: get hit. I'm not saying he's afraid to get hit,

931
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: but I think he's got an injury that he is

932
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: cringing every time he goes to hit someone, and it's

933
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully with Darren Lee, maybe something will change

934
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: with that, maybe we'll give him at least some rest

935
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: to heal that pack. But I think him and Edmunds

936
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: are way more injury than we think, and they're really

937
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: gutting out and grinding out, and I do appreciate them

938
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: for doing that. So I'll hang up and hear what

939
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: you guys have to say about that. All right, thanks

940
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: for the call, Kyle, you want to take that one. See,

941
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. That's what happened with you, particularly an

942
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 1: upper body injury for a linebacker. Edmunds with his shoulder

943
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: and Matt Malana with his peck that's those are not

944
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: easy injuries to deal with as a linebacker. I mean

945
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: you to use those muscles every day. That's exactly what

946
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: happens when you're not one hundred percent. You shy away

947
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: from contact, or you change your technique and like Edmunds,

948
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: whether he's going in trying to get it, hit it

949
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: on his good shoulder, hit the tackle on his good shoulders,

950
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: so he takes a different angle or wrong angle or

951
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 1: bad angle. And Milano going in just trying to blow

952
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: it up so he doesn't have to wrap anybody up

953
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: and pull with his peck muscle or hug somebody with

954
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: his peck muscle. They comp Your body compensates in a

955
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: way that makes you the most pain free. That's why

956
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: people limp. They don't limp because they hurt. They limp

957
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 1: to keep from hurting. Right, that's how you play, and

958
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: you play so you won't hurt. And when you do that,

959
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: you take bad angles, you take guys on with the

960
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: wrong shoulder, You tackle in such a way as to

961
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: not use the thing that hurts you, whether it's a peck,

962
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: muscle or shoulder or whatever. So I think I think

963
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: Kyle's right on the money. Yeah, And Mulano played thirteen

964
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: snaps yesterday. It's even less than he did last week.

965
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: And to give you an idea on how much he

966
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: must be hurting, Andre Smith, who got called up from

967
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: the practice squad, played more snaps than he did yesterday,

968
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: one more snap than Mulano. He played fourteen. Milano had

969
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: thirteen snaps. I think it's just a small indication and

970
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: to the struggles that Milano is having to play like

971
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: we expect him to play due to his injury. And

972
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure that that happens all over the national It's

973
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: not just Matt Milano and Tommy Edmonds. It's it's John Brown, Uh,

974
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: it's you name the guy that's coming back from an injury,

975
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: all those guys, Zack Moss and his toe, right, And

976
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: you look around the league and it's there's guys all

977
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: over the over the league doing the exact same thing

978
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: for their teams. It's part of what makes the NFL

979
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: a grind, and it's part of what the challenge is

980
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: to win games. Uh, you want guys to suck it

981
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: up and play like Milano and Edmonds are doing. But

982
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: the coaching staff has to make a call as to

983
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,760
Speaker 1: whether a healthy Andre Smith is better than an injured

984
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: Matt Milano and there, and the call is obvious right now.

985
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: It's just about a coin flip. Yeah, we have to

986
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: take a break, But more of your phone calls when

987
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: we return. So Josh and Arcade, Bernie and Lyndonville, Andre

988
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: and Rochester hang there. We'll get to you when we return.

989
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: On the other side. Here on One Bill's Live, presented

1008
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: Although it wasn't the greatest outing for the rookie quarterback,

1009
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: who threw for less than a hundred yards. The Dolphins

1010
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: picked up a twenty eighteen twenty eighth seventeen win over

1011
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,840

Speaker 1: announce it was Humphrey. He played all fifty defensive snaps

1017
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: in Sunday's twenty eight twenty four loss to Pittsburgh. In

1018

1026
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: medical attention. He remains hospitalized today. That is your sports

1027
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: update here from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1028
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: with you for our number two of One Bills Live.

1029
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: And we do want to get right back to the

1030
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: phones as we are asking you, aside from the win,

1031
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: what was your high and you're low that you took

1032
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: out of yesterday's performance by the Bills. And we lead

1033
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: off here with Bernie in Lyndenville, Bernie, what do you

1034
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: have for us? Welcome to one Bills Live. Thanks for

1035
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,479
Speaker 1: taking my call. Guys, I've not seen anything that hasn't

1036
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: already been said. The high was the presidence of a

1037
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: rushing gate without without running attack. That we're very one

1038
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: demential offense. So having a good rushall offense will give

1039
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 1: us more balance and make opposing defenses. Had to think

1040
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: more about what we're gonna do. Um. Second half, second half, Honestly,

1041
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: I was. I was thoroughly disgusted at halftime the Pages

1042
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: had two field goals, but uh, second half and actually

1043
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: the defense didn't look too bad the first half, but

1044
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: the second half thing has come completely undone. Um. In

1045
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: peewee football and the high school football, the coaches preach fundamentals.

1046
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 1: But yet well, we had these guys here that can't

1047
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: make tackles, and with proper tackling yesterday that the defense

1048
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: would have looked a lot better and we would have

1049
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: probably had a different different outcome. And then when it

1050
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: had to come to a turn over at the end

1051
00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:04,280
Speaker 1: of the game for the victories. Yeah, so definitely, defense,

1052
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: we need to come together birthday at least mess to

1053
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: the fundamentals that will be a definite improvement. Thank you

1054
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: all right, Bernie, thanks for the call. We appreciate it. Yeah,

1055
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: not something we haven't heard already. People are not happy

1056
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: with the tackle league technique of the defense, and that's

1057
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: been a problem in prior games. Collectively, over the course

1058
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: of the season, they haven't been a bad tackling team,

1059
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: but it has weird it's ugly head on more than

1060
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: one occasion this season, and it's a problem because it

1061
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: means extra yards. It usually means an extra set of

1062
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: downs for the opponent, and they do have to get

1063
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: that corrected. They have to play more consistent than they

1064
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 1: have to this point with fundamentals like tackling. And again,

1065
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: I'll say it, just like it did last hour. This

1066
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: coaching staff pounds the fundamentals in practice every single week.

1067
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine how frustrating it's got to be for

1068
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: them when you rep it as much as they do

1069
00:56:58,200 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: in the course of a practice week and it's still

1070
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: doesn't manifest itself on the game field on Sundays. Yeah,

1071
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it has to do

1072
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: with the defenders and particularly upfront, not getting in a

1073
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: position to be good enough position to make a good tackle.

1074
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: Certainly you're not playing in a vacuum, and NFL players

1075
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: are good and they're gonna break their shaff tackles. But

1076
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: but you're right, I think it starts up front with

1077
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And there's just too many times

1078
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: when it just seems like a guy runs through a

1079
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: tackle for the buffalo of the Bills, you know, an

1080
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: arm tackle, or where they get good contact on them,

1081
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: or whether the defensive line gets penetration and the back

1082
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: is going the other way right up past them. That

1083
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: seems to happen a little too often. So it's yeah,

1084
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: it's it's frustrating, particularly given the fact that when we

1085
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: walked into this season just eight weeks ago, we thought

1086
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: this defense was gonna be a top five defense or better. Right,

1087
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: we thought they were gonna be We thought they were

1088
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. And it just goes to show

1089
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: you don't know until you tee it up. You really

1090
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: don't know until you tee it up. Now, one thing

1091
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: I will say this in defense of Brandon being Sean McDermott.

1092
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: If you have four preseason games and you see players

1093
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: play four times, even if it is just a dozen plays,

1094
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: in the in the preseason, and maybe maybe it's two

1095
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: or three dozen plays in the preseason for a player,

1096
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: you get a chance to see like, wait a minute,

1097
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna work, and you start changing it. Then yeah,

1098
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: now there you know you start the season. It's over.

1099
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: You gotta, you gotta. You're on the fly. You went

1100
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: into the season based on supposition. That's right, that's really

1101
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: what you did because you didn't have those four preseason

1102
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: games to evaluate what you have. Um. I think you

1103
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: can evaluate who are the best players on your roster

1104
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: in a training camp setting. But how it's all gonna

1105
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: work against opponents every single week is something that coaches

1106
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: and personnel departments probably want preseason games. Four can these

1107
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: guys this is the best that we have to put

1108
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: on the field. Is this combination of players going to

1109
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: work against NFL teams every single week? You need preseason games,

1110
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: I think to make that assessment, even if you're the

1111
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: most trained football I eight oh three, five fifty, and

1112
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: back to the phones we go, as we have an

1113
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: open line for you there, we're asking you you're high

1114
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: and you're low from Sunday's game aside from the win obviously,

1115
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: and Andre from Rochester is up next, going to tell

1116
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: us what he's pulled out of Sunday's game. What do

1117
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: you have for us? Andre? Hey, guys, how are you

1118
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: doing all right? Good? Yes, my high was welcome back John.

1119
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: We really need him. I think was the reason why

1120
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: our running game opened up. Um. Also my low was

1121
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: how we won the game. Now we gotta look at it.

1122
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: As far as the Patriots, we had guys out. Patriots

1123
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: also had guys out, um Adam in um who else?

1124
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: M eight guys opted out the COVID list, right, Harry, Yeah,

1125
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: oh Harry. Now last week Chris was I think I

1126
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: caught Friday Thursday, Friday, Chris was saying, Oh, we're gonna

1127
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: win this. All these guys are out, and if it

1128
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: wasn't for that fumble, I believe it with it lost.

1129
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm at. And also I think we'd

1130
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: a faster linebackers. You know, the guy's always coming around

1131
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: on the edge and getting loose, including what Ryan Tannehill

1132
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: when we played Tennessee. He looked like Michael Vick playing us.

1133
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm at. I just wants to opinion that. Yeah, no,

1134
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: I hear you, Andre, And yeah, and I get it. Did. Yeah,

1135
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: linebackers they're having trouble getting the spots. They're getting out leveraged. Yeah,

1136
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: And I started on a lot on the radio broadcast yesterday,

1137
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,919
Speaker 1: the Patriots used motion from wide back to the back

1138
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: to the tight position a lot to outflank the edge

1139
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: of the defense and the Bills. What they would do

1140
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: is they'd motion a wide receiver or tight end or

1141
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: whoever from way wide to the formation, bringing into that

1142
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,959
Speaker 1: side of the formation, snap the ball and he would

1143
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: be outside the outside defender of the Bill and pin

1144
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: them inside. Play goes wide and there's nobody They don't

1145
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: have the speed to get out there, out to get

1146
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: to the in front of the running back to turn

1147
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: it back in. So they get a you know, five

1148
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: yard play just running around the end because they got

1149
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: leverage and the Bills can't set the edge of the

1150
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: defense or string the playout. Do you think that it

1151
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: would be beneficial because typically Buffalo's linebackers are line up

1152
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: about three and a half yards from the line of scrimmage.

1153
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Do you think it would be beneficial for them to

1154
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: take a deeper set, even at four yards or four

1155
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: and a half or is that giving up too much

1156
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: in the straight ahead run game. Maybe, but I think

1157
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: one thing that just put them further away from where

1158
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: they got to be in on the way. I was

1159
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: just wondering if it might be easier I don't scrape

1160
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: over the top and get to the edge better that.

1161
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're having trouble scraping or they

1162
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 1: just can't catch up. Yeah, you know, I think it's

1163
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of both. I know aj Klein struggles

1164
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: to get out wide and ahead of ahead of them.

1165
01:01:54,160 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Now Termaine can get out there, but you know, in fact,

1166
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: there was a couple of times Tremaine get out there,

1167
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: the guy cuts back inside of him. There's nobody there. Ye,

1168
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Tremaine could take a better angle to make sure the

1169
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: guy can't get cut it back inside of him, squeeze

1170
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: it to squeeze it to the sideline, But I think

1171
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: it's not his job to do that. No, you know, so,

1172
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I really think he's trying to cover up for some

1173
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: other people I see. I don't know how much of

1174
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: the time, right, but some of the time I feel

1175
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: like he's trying to clean things up for guys in

1176
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: front of him that aren't executing well. I think that

1177
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: as well. I get it now. And here's the thing too,

1178
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: he may they may do it right on. You know,

1179
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: the Bills had fifty eight offensive snaps. If if the

1180
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: Patriots have however many they have, and you're and they have,

1181
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: if they had fifty eight snaps and you're right on

1182
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: fifty three of them, those five snaps kill you in

1183
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, that's the difference. It's it's two third

1184
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: down conversions and a touchdown. You know, that's a huge

1185
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: difference in the game, just by those three snaps and

1186
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: let alone you know the rest of it. So it's, yeah,

1187
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: you got to be right all the time. And I

1188
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think a lot of times Tremaine

1189
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: does his job gets bit by it, so next time

1190
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't do his job and he gets bit by

1191
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: that too. That's a rough spot to be. And I

1192
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,479
Speaker 1: don't think any team is capable of playing the perfect game.

1193
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: There's just too many variables. Number one, there's you got

1194
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: eleven guys all trying to do the right thing on

1195
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: the same given play that happens in the span of

1196
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: four seconds. Playing the perfect games impossible, But there is

1197
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: consistency that should be you know, the goal here, right

1198
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 1: and it just it hasn't been there to the level

1199
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: that it needs to be, and the numbers are strong

1200
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: evidence of that. Eight oh three oh five fifty. We

1201
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: go to Brian in Alabama. Brian, what do you have

1202
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: for us? Welcome to One Bills Live. Hey, good afternoon, fellas.

1203
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I think

1204
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: for me the highs of the game, we're just the

1205
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: timely splash plays, whether you can look at the Jerry

1206
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: who's fack uh they kind of set them back a

1207
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: little bit, um from the forty yard path to digs

1208
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: and also the ultimate Zimmer fumble at the end of

1209
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: the game. I think that has been sorely lacking in

1210
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, so that was refreshing to see.

1211
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: Um the loaf For me, I would have to say,

1212
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: like I said, I ate the sound Michael, broken record

1213
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: would be. I thought the defense would have been able

1214
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: to dominate the Patriots yesterday, Um meaning I don't think

1215
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: they like you like you just said, Chris Brown. There's

1216
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: no game that's perfect, but with the weapons out that

1217
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: uh Edelman and Harry, I just for me, I just

1218
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: felt like they could have just stacked that box and

1219
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: really forced Cam Newton to beat them in the throwing game,

1220
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: um specifically with the lack of tackling h or the

1221
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: deficient that deficiency that we have in that area. I

1222
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: thought with a stacked box we would be able to

1223
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: to cover that up and and really just put on

1224
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: a better performance defensive wise yesterday. But I'm glad they won.

1225
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: Uh glad to talk to you guys, and I'll let

1226
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: you guys talk. Yeah, I mean I think they did.

1227
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: They did play some eight in the box yesterday. I mean,

1228
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,439
Speaker 1: Poyer was down near the line of scrimmage a good deal.

1229
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: And that was even with Micah Hyde out of this game.

1230
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, you had Dean Marlow back there single safety high.

1231
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how much. I wasn't keeping track of

1232
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: the number of times, but I do remember seeing it

1233
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: at times, Right, they had eight boxes at times yesterday. Yeah,

1234
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: they did. He's right. I think it's he's right. I

1235
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: think that's when this defense is. I hate to say

1236
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: it this way, but until something changes up front or

1237
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: or defensively personnel was this defense is gonna be about

1238
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: having to make splash plays. A forced fumble here, a

1239
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: tipped interception there, or the stray sack at the right time.

1240
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna make this defense effective for the offense. Um,

1241
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get some stops, no question, get

1242
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, um sat out on a run play, have

1243
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: a guy make a play, like you said, m somebody's

1244
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: gotta make a play. And I think that's what's gonna be.

1245
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: And you're right, Um, you know, Brian, you said it up.

1246
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: It was the splash plays that they made. Certainly, the

1247
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: zimmer Fum forced fumble was the biggest splash of the

1248
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: entire game, but there were others along the way as well. Consistently,

1249
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 1: the Bills aren't there yet defensively, but their ability to

1250
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: make splash plays should be present all the time, and

1251
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: they just got to get it done more often. Yeah,

1252
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: it's just I think that's the biggest shock to Bills

1253
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: fans defense last year to defense this year. Defense last

1254
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: year was extraordinarily consistent last year, and that consistency of

1255
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: play just is not there this year. And it's it's

1256
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: made a big difference. All right. We do have to

1257
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: go around the locker room quickly here as we give

1258
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: you some comments from the players themselves. Brought to you

1259
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: by connect Life Blood and organ donor Network, and we

1260
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: begin with Josh Allen, who commented on what was his

1261
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: first win over the Patriots. It feels good. Obviously, it's

1262
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: win number six for us. We're stixting to it the

1263
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: halfway mark. We understand that. But like I said earlier,

1264
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: wins doesn't get you to the playoffs, so there still

1265
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. You know, we got

1266
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: a really good appunt coming in next week, and you know,

1267
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: we're turning our focus towards them as soon as soon

1268
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: as we can. And then the other person who got

1269
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: his first went over the Patriots was head coach Sean McDermott,

1270
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 1: who was happy that they were able to deliver that

1271
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: for the Bills fans, it feels good. I mean, it's

1272
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: it's one win, right. They're all hard to get because,

1273
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, and just really proud of the guys the

1274
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: way they started with our process and our focus internally

1275
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: on Monday, and that's really what led us to the

1276
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: victory of us and obviously a huge player by Zim

1277
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: down the stretch. We were proud of our offensive line,

1278
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: our offensive line coaches. You know, I thought we did

1279
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: a great job in the running game this week, and

1280
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: that was an emphasis all week and the responds to

1281
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: the channel. So, yeah, two guys that finally beat the Patriots,

1282
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 1: the only team in this division that the quarterback and

1283
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: the head coach had yet to beat in their respective

1284
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: careers here in Buffalo. So good on them forgetting that,

1285
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: notching their beltea. It took a while to do it too. Yeah,

1286
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: not for six for coach and four for jobs. And

1287
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: last year that both those games with the Patriots were

1288
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: neo biters, and they were a lot like the games

1289
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: this year, except they went. Both of those last year

1290
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 1: went in favor of the Patriots, and it would be

1291
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: nice to see it be a coin flip for a

1292
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 1: change in the wind lost column for both these clubs

1293
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 1: going forward. But you know, for too long it's been

1294
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,480
Speaker 1: let's face it, there with thirty five and five, yeah,

1295
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: against thirty five and six against the Buffalo Bills over

1296
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, so it's been it's been a

1297
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: long stretch. So that was around the locker room again,

1298
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 1: brought to you by Connect Lifeblood and Oregan Donor Network.

1299
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 1: We go back to the phones and we go to

1300
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 1: Steve in Akron. Steve, what do you have for us?

1301
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: You're on one bills Live Afternoon, gentlemen. Uh, definitely. The

1302
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: high I think was a plate calling uh that people

1303
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: call the pretty good game. But on the on the

1304
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: low side, I think the Bills mist an opportunity to

1305
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 1: stick at the belch of his what he's always done

1306
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: is double dip before the getting the ball at the

1307
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 1: end of the half and scorn and then getting the

1308
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: second half kickoff. The Bills missed a golden opportunity to

1309
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: put three points up. Instead they gave up three and

1310
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: I think that would have totally changed the second half

1311
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: complexion of the game and lightened up the load on

1312
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: the defensive side. Yeah, that was the interception by Josh right. Yeah. Yeah,

1313
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: that was a crusher because you think about what would

1314
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: happen and everything being equal, all of a sudden, the

1315
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: Bills go down if they get three points there, all

1316
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's ten three going into halftime. Bills

1317
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 1: come out and they do what they did, go down

1318
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 1: to score. It's seventeen three. Now it's a different ball

1319
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: game than it was as it was seven six at halftime. Yeah,

1320
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 1: that was a crusher. I agree with you, and for

1321
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: whatever that's why every play matters, that's why every turnovers huge,

1322
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: and it sent that game into another spinning into another

1323
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,600
Speaker 1: situation that was very different than the one we experienced.

1324
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 1: If if that would have happened. You know, you can

1325
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: play hypothetical all you want, but you're right, that was

1326
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: a big That was a big mistake by Josh, even

1327
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,440
Speaker 1: though it was only a one point lead at halftime,

1328
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:12,799
Speaker 1: seven to six. Under Sean McDermott, the Bills are now

1329
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: twenty three and one when they lead at halftime, and

1330
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: the one was an overtime loss in the playoffs. Um,

1331
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: I would have to check. I don't know if that's

1332
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: counting postseason night. I have to check. YEA, But that

1333
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 1: is that's impressive going into the locker room with the lead.

1334
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: That's what you want under coach McDermott for sure. Eight

1335
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,879
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty we go to Aaron in Charlotte,

1336
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Aaron, what do you have for us? Hey, guys?

1337
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,799
Speaker 1: Happy victory Monday? Indeed, I had I have two wins

1338
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: or two highs and one low. Okay, the first one.

1339
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: The first one was Jordan Ployer. I felt like that

1340
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: dude was laying the smack down on lots of plays.

1341
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: You could hear it. Hits no. I mean, obviously it's

1342
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 1: quiet in the stay adium, but I felt like he

1343
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: was having a heck of a day when it comes

1344
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: to stepping up and making some big hits. My second

1345
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: one is the offensive line specifically. I think it was

1346
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: John Fliciano when he's dragging Pete dragging black moth. Fine,

1347
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: that was That was awesome. That was one of my

1348
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: favorite plays of the day. And really Milman Low was

1349
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 1: just that sinking feeling towards the end of a football game,

1350
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,640
Speaker 1: and a typical Patriots game when we might have we

1351
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 1: might have a loss on the record. So glad it

1352
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 1: all turned out the right way. But um, I'm happy

1353
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: about a six and two team. I'm excited for the

1354
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. All right, Aaron, good call. We

1355
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: thank you for it. Um, Yeah, there was. There was

1356
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 1: a lot of uneasy feelings around Western New York when

1357
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots start going on that march there at the

1358
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: end of the game. The defense just could not get

1359
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: a stop. And you know, Steve and I talked about

1360
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: in the first hour of the program. We were saying,

1361
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: if they didn't get that turn over there, I don't

1362
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: know if we're talking about a victory today. Yeah, I

1363
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: don't think there's very many people who didn't believe the

1364
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna go in there and somehow get it

1365
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: in the end zone and that's game game over. You know,

1366
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: there's lessan a minute to go when they finally did

1367
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: cough it up and he was going inside I think

1368
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: he was inside the fifteen or twenty when he when

1369
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: he coughed that up. So and the Bills had like

1370
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 1: had had no answer on that drive. So it was

1371
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: the same thing. It was a sinking feeling and the

1372
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: MSG watchers are seeing it right now. And the play

1373
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: was forced. The fumble was forced right at the fifteen

1374
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: and it was recovered by the Bills at the twelve.

1375
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: That's how close the Patriots were. What do you think

1376
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: about Cam Newton having to switch that to his outside arm?

1377
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 1: He never did. I mean, I know he's just getting

1378
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: on the edge there, but yeah, yeah he should be.

1379
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, by all the rights, and he's running right

1380
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: no matter what, or left. Who running to his left

1381
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: no matter what. So he should have had a first

1382
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: thing in his back, in his left arm. But some

1383
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: guys don't feel comfortable doing that, and he doesn't run

1384
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: with it. Well yeah, yeah, putting his left arm. Right,

1385
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: that mean there's fundamentals right, nothing that says somebody can't

1386
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: punch it out of his left arm. Two. But in

1387
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: that case, but Zimmer would have had to go. Zimmer

1388
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: was Zimmer wasn't gonna punch it out of his left

1389
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: arm harder, harder to force the fumble if he's got

1390
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 1: it on his outside arm, for sure. So I was

1391
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of surprised to see that you're gonna take one

1392
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: more call here before we have to take another break.

1393
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: We go to Dave and Ken and dig what Dave,

1394
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show.

1395
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks for having me. But I just wanted

1396
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: to say, I guess the high point as we got

1397
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: the w you know, the statistics, I think sometimes we

1398
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,799
Speaker 1: get caught up on and I don't think it matters

1399
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: that much, and uh, you know, I really don't have

1400
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: a little point. I guess maybe I'm a little bit optimistic.

1401
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 1: But these guys, uh, Leslie Fraser and Sean McDermott have

1402
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: gotten us to the playoffs last two out of three years,

1403
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I trust the process. I think

1404
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,719
Speaker 1: that we forget sometimes these guys know what they're doing

1405
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, come week fourteen, we might

1406
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: be talking a different talk about this defense. They'll figure

1407
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: it out and they'll get the guys where they need

1408
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: to and guys will be healthy, and I think we'll

1409
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: be back to having a pretty decent defense. So that's

1410
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: all I had. Thanks for having me on the show. Yeah, Thanka,

1411
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: big resettingment. Right, they've been in the playoffs two out

1412
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: of the last three years. It's it's someplace where they've

1413
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: lived with Sean McDermott, and it looks like they're headed

1414
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: back again. They're the number three seed in the AFC.

1415
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: They lead the division by a game and a half

1416
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:39,640
Speaker 1: over the Dolphins plus the tiebreaker. Yeah, they're in a

1417
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: good spot and the Dolphins have one one one more

1418
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 1: game to play to catch up with the Bills. Right,

1419
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:49,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are a game behind in the in the scheduling,

1420
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: but the Bills are sitting right where they want to be.

1421
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,640
Speaker 1: It's all in front of them, including a gauntlet of

1422
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: a schedule coming up in the next five weeks. So

1423
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 1: the Bills have got some really good foot ball teams

1424
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: coming into Buffalo in the next month and a half.

1425
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 1: It starts with the Seahawks, it goes to the Then

1426
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: they've got the Arizona Cardinals. They've got a bye week.

1427
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: Then they've got the Los Angeles Chargers. Then they've got

1428
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and they've got Pittsburgh. And the San Francisco

1429
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: game is a Monday night game out there in San Francisco,

1430
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Pittsburgh's a Sunday night at home in mid December. Yeah,

1431
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: you better bundle up. So these next five weeks are

1432
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: going to tell the story of whether the Bills can

1433
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: close out the division. Now they end they end the

1434
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: year with the last two division games. They've got the

1435
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Patriots in the Dolphins, So right, I think that's the

1436
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing, um more than anything else. Yeah,

1437
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:45,799
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. But when we return,

1438
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 1: it's time for the Mattie Awards. Maddie glab we will

1439
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 1: join us to hand those out after this latest Bill's

1440
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 1: victory over the Patriots. It's One Bills Live presented by

1441
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: Kalida Health. More in a moment here on Buffalo Bills Radio.

1442
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Back on One Bill's Live. Second half of the show

1443
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: underway on A Bill's Victory Monday, Chris Brown, Steve tasker

1444
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: with you time now though, for something that we do

1445
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:24,440
Speaker 1: after every Bill's victory, it is time for the Maddie Awards,

1446
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: presented by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier of the

1447
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And here to do the honors, of course,

1448
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: is one Maddie glab This intro, this is just impressive.

1449
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: Tells yes, mad girl welcome. Not too much. We were

1450
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 1: just admiring the glitzy intro that you get for this.

1451
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: I think it's my favorite intro of all one Bills

1452
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: Live intro. Although your show open is pretty great too,

1453
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: so I would say it's next to that seal. It's

1454
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: okay to be biased. It's your segment. Segment should be

1455
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: your favorite. Yeah, your favorite. So let's begin right off

1456
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: the bat here because offensive MVP, there were some choices

1457
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 1: to be made here. I don't think this was a

1458
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: no brainer necessarily, but I guess there was a favorite.

1459
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: There were some choices, and I feel like when we've

1460
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,759
Speaker 1: done the Maddies before earlier this season, I was always

1461
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 1: giving it to receivers or Josh Allen. So I want

1462
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 1: to spread the love, and I don't want to just

1463
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: spread the love because this player had a decent game.

1464
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: They had a really great game, and I'm given the

1465
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 1: offensive MVP to the rookies Zach Moss. It was awesome

1466
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: to see him get involved in the run game. Great

1467
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: to see how successful the Bills were in the run

1468
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: game yesterday. One hundred ninety rushing yards. I mean, you

1469
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: have Zach Moss who has fourteen attempts eighty one rushing

1470
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 1: yards average five point eight yards per attempt. But I

1471
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: think that number is really important right there because prior

1472
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: to the last game, last two games, he was I

1473
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: think under three yards per attempt. So to see him

1474
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,600
Speaker 1: bump that up quite a bit in Week eight is

1475
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: a very positive sign for Zack Moss going forward. And

1476
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: of course I think that toe injury really affected him

1477
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,759
Speaker 1: those those three games that he was out. He's a rookie,

1478
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: he's he's trying to get his bearings, and I think

1479
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: in this game we finally saw the Zack Moss that

1480
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,759
Speaker 1: Brandon being drafted. He had some of those angry runs,

1481
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 1: those tough runs. Two rushing touchdowns. So he's my offensive

1482
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: MVP for that reason. Yeah, it's hard to go against

1483
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 1: that two tds. That was a difference in a game

1484
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 1: that was decided by three points. That was It was huge,

1485
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 1: no question, it was nice to see it was It

1486
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: was a refreshing surprise to see a young player come

1487
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: in and play so well, play so physical, and make

1488
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: the statement he did. What about on the other side

1489
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: of the football, who's your defensive MVP? This was a

1490
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: little bit more difficult, all right. On the defensive side

1491
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: of the ball. It was great to see the Bill's

1492
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: limits the Patriots rushing attack to forty four yards in

1493
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: the first half. Of course they let that go a

1494
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: little bit in the second half. But my defensive MVP

1495
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 1: has to go to the guy who basically sealed the

1496
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: deal for the Bills win at the end of the

1497
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter. It's Justin Zimmer who forced

1498
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: that fumble with thirty seconds left in the fourth quarter.

1499
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: The Patriots were in a second in tense situation at

1500
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo's nineteen yard line, and here comes Justin Zimmer, who's

1501
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: played in just his fourth game with the Buffalo Bills

1502
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,600
Speaker 1: this season. He's someone who's been on and off the

1503
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: practice squad, and I mean, I think this shows just

1504
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 1: what a team effort this game was. At the end

1505
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 1: of the at the end of the day, he's not

1506
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: a starter. You have Dean Marlowe recovering it, who was

1507
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: playing in place of Micah Hyde. So it's great to

1508
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: see two guys who aren't your star players being able

1509
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 1: to do something like that. You know, Sean McDermott says,

1510
01:19:57,800 --> 01:19:59,720
Speaker 1: when your name's called, you need to answer, and that's

1511
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,440
Speaker 1: exa bactly what they did. He's someone who was undrafted

1512
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: out of Fair State in twenty sixteen, was on the

1513
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: Bills for a hot second, and then was on three

1514
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: different NFL teams and also played in the CFL. So

1515
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: good to see him have some success on this Buffalo

1516
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: Bills team in his second time around. Yeah. Hi, motor

1517
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: player for sure, no question about it. And that plays

1518
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:22,919
Speaker 1: probably an indication of that. Okay, so hats off award.

1519
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: I kind of like this one. This is one of

1520
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: the favorite ones that you hand out, Maddie, Who do

1521
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: you have for that one? Hats off to the Bills

1522
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: offensive line. We've seen how great they've been at pass protection,

1523
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: but one thing that was kind of a question mark

1524
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: was their run blocking, and we got to see that

1525
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 1: in this game. And we got to see in a

1526
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: game where the offensive line wasn't the five starters that

1527
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: we normally see Mitch Morrise comes out of this game

1528
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: and is ruled out with a concussion. Than you have

1529
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: John Feliciano, who's playing in his first game this season

1530
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 1: after that peck injury. He gets asked to move over

1531
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: to center. After Ryan Bates filled in for Morse for

1532
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: a series, I Bucker comes in John Feliciano's place, and

1533
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: they did a great job of providing some holes for

1534
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 1: those running backs, protecting Josh Allen. Gotta be a feel goodwin,

1535
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: a feel good game for that offensive line, get their

1536
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: confidence going in the run game. You also had won

1537
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: an award, a Mattie Award given out to the Hustle Award.

1538
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: Who got the Hustle Award. Hustle Award goes to the

1539
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: guy with the fiery red hair on this team, it's

1540
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Madakavis and this is a reason why he's on

1541
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills is because his special team's ability. He

1542
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 1: grabbed that on sidekick that the Patriots tried to catch

1543
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 1: the Bills sleeping with three minutes left in the third quarter.

1544
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: The Bills actually went on to score in that drive.

1545
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,679
Speaker 1: It was Moss's second touchdown in and made the score

1546
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: twenty one. To twenty one. So a key moment in

1547
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 1: that game, not necessarily the fourth quarter when you might

1548
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: expect an onside, but Belichick likes to catch teams sleeping.

1549
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 1: So kudos to Tyler Madekievich, who is right there to

1550
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: be able to recover that on sidekick. All right, So

1551
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,679
Speaker 1: those are kind of the awards from yesterday's game. Let's

1552
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,719
Speaker 1: go around the league now, and why don't you hand

1553
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 1: out the eye popping quarterback Award? Yes, I popping quarterback.

1554
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: We've already played one of them. One of them we

1555
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: will see this week. So first, Patrick Mahomes. He was

1556
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:30,479
Speaker 1: thirty one to forty two for four hundred and sixteen yards. Guys,

1557
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: he threw five touchdowns. Yes, it was against the Jets.

1558
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 1: They had a little bit more success against the Jets

1559
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: than we did. They beat the Jets thirty five to nine.

1560
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are seven and one on the season. Patrick

1561
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes just continues to do Patrick Mahomes things. I mean,

1562
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: five touchdowns and four hundred and sixteen yards. That's not

1563
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: something that you see every single Sunday out of a quarterback.

1564
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: And also, was there another was there another quarterback you

1565
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,840
Speaker 1: were thinking about? My second one is a quarterback that

1566
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: we are facing this Sunday is Russell Wilson. They played

1567
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: the forty niners. He was twenty seven to thirty seven,

1568
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty one yards, four touchdowns. They beat

1569
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers thirty seven to twenty seven thirty seven,

1570
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: such a big number. It'll be interesting to see how

1571
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:23,879
Speaker 1: many points they can put on the scoreboard against the Bills.

1572
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: The Bills haven't necessarily scored thirty seven points yet, they've

1573
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: scored a high of thirty five this season, So we're

1574
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: hoping that we can limit Russell Wilson this weekend. Russell Wilson,

1575
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: or I should say, the Seahawks have at least four

1576
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game they've played this season. Russell Wilson

1577
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: has three passing at least three passing touchdowns in every

1578
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 1: game this season. So it's gonna be a step up

1579
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 1: in class week. Tell us a little bit about the

1580
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: Chef's Kiss Award. Okay, so you know when you're having

1581
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,600
Speaker 1: a meal and you're just like, nah, so good, So

1582
01:23:56,040 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: Chef's Kiss Award goes to Dalvin Cook. Get it? Huh?

1583
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 1: Play onwards? There DALs who took his back from injury

1584
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:07,479
Speaker 1: and I'm sure everyone who had him on his fantasy

1585
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: team was doing the chef's kiss because he was cooking

1586
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: all day. Thirty carries, one hundred and sixty three rushing yards,

1587
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. He also had two receptions for sixty three

1588
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: yards and a receiving touchdown. They ended up being the Packers,

1589
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:27,799
Speaker 1: even though Aaron Rodgers had a really great game. Awesome

1590
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:32,759
Speaker 1: to see Dalvin Cook being that lethal coming back from injury.

1591
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 1: And then gotta give a little shout out to to

1592
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara who had a similar day to Dalvin Cook.

1593
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 1: Not necessarily one hundred and sixty three rushing yards, but

1594
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 1: he had sixty seven rushing yards ninety six receiving yards,

1595
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 1: beat the Bears in overtime twenty six to twenty three. Now,

1596
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,839
Speaker 1: this next award is more of a warning of sorts here, Maddie.

1597
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: So what about the watch out Award? Yeah, so we're

1598
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: just gonna give a little watch out award here to

1599
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: two people, well, a team and a player who the

1600
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: Bills will face in the coming weeks. So dk Metcalf

1601
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: got to work yesterday against the forty nine ers. Of

1602
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,600
Speaker 1: course we see him on Sunday at one o'clock. He

1603
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:20,520
Speaker 1: had twelve receptions for one hundred and sixty one receiving

1604
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns against the forty nine Ers. So got

1605
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 1: to watch out for DK Metcalf and what he can

1606
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: do in that speed that he has. And then the

1607
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: Steelers they beat the Ravens twenty eight to twenty four.

1608
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: It was a great game to watch. We see them

1609
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football Week fourteen. There eight No. The only

1610
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: undefeated team left in the NFL. So a couple things

1611
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: down the line that the Bills need to be aware of.

1612
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,759
Speaker 1: One last one. The last one. You've got clever thinking, Award,

1613
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: tell us about it, Avery Williamson. So this goes to

1614
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: a linebacker who is getting out of the New York

1615
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: Jets land. He's heading to the Steelers, the eight No.

1616
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 1: Team that I was just talking about. So Avery Wilson,

1617
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 1: when he found out he was getting traded or getting

1618
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: shipped off to the Steelers, he was standing on the

1619
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: corner of the street. Looked like he was trying to

1620
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: hitch hike right out of town. As soon as he

1621
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: got the news it was ranked. So he had his umbrella.

1622
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,600
Speaker 1: But the best part is that he's in his entire uniform.

1623
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: I gotta believe that that's isn't that photo shop. It's

1624
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 1: gotta be he probably took that in the lockers. Somebody's

1625
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: I mean, whoever's on his social media team's great, but

1626
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 1: gotta be a great no way, he's out there on

1627
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 1: thirty third Street by Penn Station holding his I mean,

1628
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 1: come on, no way, right, it's pretty good though. If

1629
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 1: I was, if I was walking by and saw that,

1630
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: I would like fall over in laughter. Maybe not if

1631
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 1: I was Jets it's Halloween weekend, I mean, might have

1632
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 1: done it. Nobody thought anything of it, right, and they

1633
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 1: if there is if they have a if they have

1634
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 1: a setup in the Jets facility of it with a

1635
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: green screen, which they might for some of their social

1636
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: media posts or whatever. He might have gotten in there,

1637
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,799
Speaker 1: got the umbrella, taken the picture with one of his boys,

1638
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: and then sent it to his media team and they

1639
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 1: docted it up for him. But god, Lijia Willikers, that

1640
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:18,680
Speaker 1: was GEI. We gotta gee Willikers at it. That's a

1641
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 1: great idea though. Good for him, and we wish you

1642
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: wish him the best. All right. I'm glad we got

1643
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: all of those in, Maddie, because we are up against

1644
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: the break but thanks for all of your Maddie awards

1645
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 1: this week, and hopefully we will see you next Monday,

1646
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: because that would mean a Bill's upset victory over the

1647
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:36,839
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. I love that, I hope. So the schedule

1648
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 1: all right, Thanks very much, Maddie, we appreciate it. All right,

1649
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: we do have to take a break, but back to

1650
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls when we return, as we're

1651
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 1: looking for your high and you're low from Sunday's win

1652
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 1: over the Patriots. Something besides the victory itself. What was

1653
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: your high in terms of the performance and what was

1654
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: your low? We'll take more of those when we return

1655
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, It's

1656
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio, Steve Tasker, Chris Brown, One Bills Live

1657
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 1: and m I know you often wonder probably what it

1658
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:22,719
Speaker 1: is that we discuss talk about do during commercial breaks.

1659
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. I have often been accused

1660
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: by my spouse and several other people that I work

1661
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 1: with of being a very fast eater. Okay, Steve Tasker

1662
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:41,679
Speaker 1: blows me Steve Tasker blows me away. This is Steve

1663
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:46,639
Speaker 1: Tasker with a burrito. You got it on fast forward. Well,

1664
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: we have the real time there the bottom left of

1665
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 1: the screen. But this is Steve during a five minute

1666
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 1: commercial break, laying waste to a giant burrito. Like this

1667
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,759
Speaker 1: is not a small one. This is like at least

1668
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 1: a half pound, and he is annihilating this thing for

1669
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:07,799
Speaker 1: our MSG viewers as they're watching. We're about two minutes

1670
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: in and this thing is half gone. And I mean

1671
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 1: it's like he's like a snake. He can unhinge his

1672
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 1: jaw and just take monstrous bites. And I mean I

1673
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 1: come back into the studio and this thing has almost disappeared.

1674
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: He's thrown caution to the wind. He's not even worried

1675
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,639
Speaker 1: about a napkin. He's wiping his face. He's asking people

1676
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 1: for a bottle of water. But I mean I ran

1677
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: out of time because he's not coming up for air here.

1678
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: And then I finally hand him a napkin, and I

1679
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: think he hard part about the is finishing it up.

1680
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: You get these last couple of bites. Yeah, so four

1681
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 1: oh five was the time for what equated to a

1682
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 1: half pound burrito. I also had to walk out after

1683
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:55,240
Speaker 1: we get to five minute breaks. I had to walk

1684
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: out get the burrito. Come back in. Yeah. Of course.

1685
01:29:57,920 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: As soon as I grabbed it, I unwrapped and started eating.

1686
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 1: I was waking, annihilated, absolutely annihilated. If we had an

1687
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:07,720
Speaker 1: extra Mattie Award for eating, Steve would get it every

1688
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 1: single week. Impressive. Congrats, JJ Arto picked it up for

1689
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 1: us for lunch up today for us. Yeah, and he

1690
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 1: got you know, he always you go to these places

1691
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:19,360
Speaker 1: that make the burrito for you, you know, the places

1692
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, but you have this,

1693
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: You get it the way you like it, and I

1694
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, I told JJ that's why, and he got it.

1695
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: It was perfect. I couldn't tell. I don't know if

1696
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:35,160
Speaker 1: any of us could have inspected it before it was gone.

1697
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 1: Was right on the money, MANJ. So just you know

1698
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 1: you belong in the Olympics of competitive eating. We got

1699
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 1: to get you in a contest because I think you'd

1700
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:46,800
Speaker 1: give some of the like Joey Chestnut the Black Widow,

1701
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:48,840
Speaker 1: You'd give them a run for their money. I'm telling you, man,

1702
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,639
Speaker 1: I would like to see you in a burrito eating contest.

1703
01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: You'd be right up there with the top finishers. I

1704
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,560
Speaker 1: don't know, um, because I don't know what what you

1705
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 1: do with your air consumption, but like you throw breathing

1706
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 1: all to the side here for like four minutes and

1707
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 1: it just becomes like, I don't know, it's it's like

1708
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: raven It's like it's like wild Kingdom, ravenous lions, like

1709
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:12,719
Speaker 1: devouring a wild bore or something. It's unbelievable. It's something

1710
01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 1: to watch, and it happens here every day. It's really

1711
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:17,640
Speaker 1: a show. Back to the phones and we go to

1712
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: Nick and Niagara Falls as we're asking you for your

1713
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 1: high low from the game. Despite this, besides the win,

1714
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:25,600
Speaker 1: what was your high and your low? Nick? What do

1715
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 1: you have for us? Hey, guys, how's it going good? So?

1716
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 1: I got My high of the game was definitely the

1717
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 1: running attack. I think, you know, like for the first

1718
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 1: I think the first time this year we had it

1719
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 1: was combined but running backs over one hundred and fifty yards,

1720
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 1: And I think the conditions played a huge part in

1721
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 1: that being the way that we played. And I was

1722
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:51,360
Speaker 1: listening earlier this morning and the guys were saying, you know,

1723
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: when you have a running attack like that, the game

1724
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be close. We saw that in the Kansas

1725
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 1: City game. You know, unless you can really move the

1726
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:01,880
Speaker 1: ball in the air and put up the big numbers.

1727
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:03,720
Speaker 1: The game's always going to be close, you know. It's

1728
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. Who's the same thing with the Jets the

1729
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: week before. My low of the game, though, doesn't actually

1730
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 1: come during the game. It's actually coming out right now.

1731
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 1: The A couple of players just got moved in the NFL,

1732
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:17,719
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of sitting here. I know the Bills

1733
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:20,960
Speaker 1: are are kind of just waiting and they don't really

1734
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of cap room to make these moves.

1735
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,439
Speaker 1: But the Saints just acquired Kawan Alexander for a sixth

1736
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 1: round pick and they offloaded a player. Desmond King was

1737
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: also just traded for a fifth or sixth round. Six round. Yeah, yeah,

1738
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the Bills to make a move, and

1739
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,320
Speaker 1: I just I don't know if it's coming. And I

1740
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 1: think that is something that's gonna affect us down the road,

1741
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, with depths that linebacker and cornerback. Yeah, I mean,

1742
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 1: it's hard to say whether a move's gonna happen. As

1743
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 1: they always say, it takes two to tango. You're right,

1744
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 1: the Bills do have a little bit of a tight

1745
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 1: cap situation. That's not to say that something can happen.

1746
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 1: I know Desmond King's remaining you know, money was about

1747
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 1: a million dollars and the Titans got them for a

1748
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:07,520
Speaker 1: sixth round pick. And the Titans need help to defensively.

1749
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean they're twenty fifth in defense, last in the league,

1750
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: and third down defense eighteenth and points allowed. They're having

1751
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,760
Speaker 1: their problems too, so they try to get better there.

1752
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 1: And we saw what the Saints did, and the Saints

1753
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 1: have a pretty good defense actually, so to get a

1754
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 1: linebacker of that caliber, and they send Kiko out to

1755
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 1: San fran Well, unless you're in the pro personnel department

1756
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:34,559
Speaker 1: of around the league, like these guys are here, there's

1757
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 1: probably a very short menu of teams that are actually

1758
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:39,679
Speaker 1: eligible to help you. Like, for instance, you've got depth

1759
01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 1: at some spot and they don't, and they've got a

1760
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 1: guy you want, and you've got some guys you could

1761
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 1: trade for him. That way, you unload the salaries of

1762
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 1: the guys you can trade and incorporate the salary of

1763
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 1: the guy you bring on. So you give them two

1764
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:57,040
Speaker 1: spot two guys for one if you get a better player,

1765
01:33:57,080 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 1: you know, an expensive player, plus your ap room. So

1766
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 1: there's probably a short menu of teams who have depth.

1767
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 1: I know there's depth. Defensive tackle depth is shot this

1768
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 1: year because of the sixty nine players that opted out

1769
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 1: of the National Football League season, half of them were

1770
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:24,080
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. So those guys just aren't out there. And

1771
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: that's a problem because being overweight or bigger is an

1772
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:31,640
Speaker 1: underlying condition. It's a co morbidity. Yeah, that the ventilators.

1773
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 1: Yet they don't have an engine big enough to lift

1774
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 1: your chest off your lungs to blow air India. So

1775
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: that's a problem. And so these guys said, forget it,

1776
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna expose myself to and rightfully, so I

1777
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:45,639
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, it's nothing, you know, nothing against him,

1778
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: but you're like thirty of them are gone off the top.

1779
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: They're not These aren't like not growing on undrafted rookies.

1780
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: This is starlow to lelay guys like him. And so

1781
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: the depth of the position and is just shot this

1782
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,599
Speaker 1: year and people are holding onto them. People are hanging. Yeah,

1783
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:06,760
Speaker 1: I ain't getting rid of that guy, you know. So

1784
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 1: it's a you know gig. You think you can get

1785
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 1: the Jets to give up Quinnin Williams given up a

1786
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 1: one the Jets, maybe, but not unless you're given up

1787
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 1: a one, right they're not giving or two twos. Maybe

1788
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,760
Speaker 1: you want to give them two twos instead of a one.

1789
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:22,679
Speaker 1: They might they might do this season like this when

1790
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 1: those guys are such a premium and Quinnon Williams as

1791
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,000
Speaker 1: the guy he is, I might do it. Yeah, I

1792
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:30,000
Speaker 1: might do it. I might. It's got two years left

1793
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:31,599
Speaker 1: on his rookie deal too. I mean you get him

1794
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 1: relatively affordable for two years. And here's the thing too,

1795
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 1: You say, well, why are these other teams parting ways

1796
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 1: with them? Is it just because they're not going anywhere

1797
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:42,920
Speaker 1: this year? Well, it is primarily because they're probably not

1798
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 1: going anywhere this year based on their current record here

1799
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:46,639
Speaker 1: at the midway point of the season. But it's also

1800
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:50,479
Speaker 1: because they know that the cap is going to drop

1801
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,320
Speaker 1: next year because of all the revenue losses that these

1802
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:55,600
Speaker 1: teams are incurring this year. We all know that the

1803
01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:57,679
Speaker 1: CAP's going to be very low next year in comparison

1804
01:35:57,720 --> 01:35:59,680
Speaker 1: to what it's been in recent years. They're trying to

1805
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 1: say money this year to roll into their cap next

1806
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: year so they can spend more money than maybe some

1807
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:07,719
Speaker 1: of these other teams that are going for it this season.

1808
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 1: And that's really the nuts and bolts of that. We

1809
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:11,320
Speaker 1: have to take a break, but when we come back,

1810
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 1: we will get to some of your phone calls. But

1811
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:16,800
Speaker 1: we also have Eric Wood coming your way when we

1812
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 1: return to break down this game and some x's and oh's.

1813
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,320
Speaker 1: Here on one Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. It's

01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:50,200
Speaker 1: decision over New England. Mitch Morris did leave the game

1819
01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:51,960
Speaker 1: in the first quarter with a concussion. We'll get the

1820
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 1: latest on him when coach McDermott addresses the media later

1821
01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:59,640
Speaker 1: this afternoon. NFL tradeline fast approaching four PM on Tuesday,

1822
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 1: and a couple of playoff contenders have acquired defensive talent.

1823
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 1: The Saints picked up linebacker Quan Alexander from San Francisco

1824
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 1: in exchange for a conditional fifth round pick and linebacker

1825
01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:14,759
Speaker 1: Kiko Alonso. Meanwhile, the Titans have acquired cornerback and return

1826
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:18,240
Speaker 1: man Desmond King from the Chargers for a sixth round

1827
01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,200
Speaker 1: pick and late last night, the Jets traded linebacker Avery

1828
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 1: Williamson and a seventh round pick to Pittsburgh in exchange

1829
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 1: for a fifth round selection. Baltimore Ravens star cornerback Marlon

1830
01:37:28,200 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 1: Humphrey tested positive for COVID nineteen. The corner announced the

1831
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:35,640
Speaker 1: diagnosis himself Monday morning on Twitter. The Ravens confirmed a

1832
01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:38,120
Speaker 1: player tested positive, but it did not announce it was

1833
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,719
Speaker 1: Humphrey played all fifty snaps in Sunday's twenty eight twenty

1834
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 1: four loss to the Steelers. In addition to the Ravens

1835
01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:48,679
Speaker 1: positive test, Packers running back aj Dillon tested positive Sunday,

1836
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 1: and the Arizona Cardinals had two positive tests from the

1837
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 1: weekend as the team was coming off their bye week.

1838
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 1: And that is your sports update here from One Bill's Drive.

1839
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:01,160
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you our number three of

1840
01:38:01,160 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: the Bill's victory Monday edition of One Bills Live. And

1841
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 1: joining us for his weekly appearance after every Bills game

1842
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:12,600
Speaker 1: is Eric Wood, former Bills center, and good to have

1843
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 1: you in, Eric, and boy, that had to be a

1844
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 1: game that an offensive lineman likes watching, right, Yeah, for sure.

1845
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 1: And the Bills definitely got the ground game going right

1846
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,200
Speaker 1: when they needed it to. You have a windy day,

1847
01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:30,600
Speaker 1: terrible weather from what I heard. You could see it

1848
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 1: a little bit on TV, but probably didn't do it

1849
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:36,920
Speaker 1: justice with how windy was in the stadium actually, But

1850
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 1: the Bills have not been able to rely on their

1851
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: ground game at all this year, and when they needed

1852
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 1: it most, it showed up yesterday, that's for sure. How

1853
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: impressive was it that with Mitch Morse going getting hit

1854
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 1: what Brownie I think on the first play of the game,

1855
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 1: and he played till third down, but Mitch Morse comes

1856
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 1: out almost immediately as soon as the game to get started.

1857
01:38:56,400 --> 01:39:00,640
Speaker 1: John Feliciano moves to stays in it, and then they

1858
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 1: have Brian bay Bates comes in for center, then he

1859
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 1: goes out, and then Feliciana moves over when he has

1860
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: time to get the gloves off and get ready to play.

1861
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,759
Speaker 1: How impressive is it that they did this running game

1862
01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 1: game plan in a day where they lost their center

1863
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:21,480
Speaker 1: on the first play of the game. It's extremely impressive.

1864
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,759
Speaker 1: And that just shows the amount of depth and quality

1865
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 1: players that they have across the offensive line for the

1866
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills right now. And that's a credit to Brandon

1867
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 1: being because in twenty eighteen, you couldn't even say close

1868
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 1: to that. So you fast forward a couple of seasons

1869
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,959
Speaker 1: and they have a wealth of talent in their offensive

1870
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:42,640
Speaker 1: line room. And it's interesting when I saw when I

1871
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:44,760
Speaker 1: saw Mitch Morris go down with the concussion, I knew

1872
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:47,440
Speaker 1: it had to do with the technique that the linebackers

1873
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:49,760
Speaker 1: for New England play with. And they always do this.

1874
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:51,559
Speaker 1: So what they do is they try and pick you

1875
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 1: off of your double teams, and so they come down

1876
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:56,600
Speaker 1: and collision use that you can't just sit there and

1877
01:39:56,680 --> 01:40:00,599
Speaker 1: double team with your adjacent lineman all the way up

1878
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 1: to the linebacker. They'll come in and they'll give you

1879
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:05,839
Speaker 1: good blicks. I mean, I can't tell you how many

1880
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 1: shots I took from Brandon Spikes over the years and

1881
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:12,559
Speaker 1: High Tower and those guys, and that's the technique they

1882
01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:16,120
Speaker 1: play on. Unfortunately, Mitch Morris got a concussion from it.

1883
01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:20,640
Speaker 1: And I thought Ryan Bates filled in admirably in his

1884
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:24,600
Speaker 1: first action of the season on the touchdown drive to

1885
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 1: lead it off, and then John Feliciano goes in at center,

1886
01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 1: and you know, after the game, McDermott said, you know,

1887
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:33,760
Speaker 1: it's not all about one guy coming back up front,

1888
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 1: and it's not. They did some different things scheme wise

1889
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 1: in this game that allowed the run game to get

1890
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: going a little better than it has. But I'll tell

1891
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,599
Speaker 1: you what, John Feliciano brings an attitude in the presence

1892
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 1: of that Bill's line, and I think he was missed

1893
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 1: more than maybe we realized through the first seven games

1894
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 1: of the season. Not that they were playing bad, but man,

1895
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: they were finishing blocks yesterday and really took advantage of

1896
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 1: that Patriots front seven. Yeah. I think he's one of

1897
01:40:57,960 --> 01:41:01,240
Speaker 1: those guys that just inspire and raises the level of

1898
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 1: play of the guys around them, and they play with

1899
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 1: a little extra nastiness too. There's a theory I want

1900
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: to run by you, Eric, going forward from this game.

1901
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: Now that the Bills have put a capable rushing attack

1902
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: on film against a team that at times was putting

1903
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 1: seven defensive backs on the field and basically daring them

1904
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 1: to run. Now that you have a one hundred ninety

1905
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 1: yard rushing day, averaging five yards to carry on tape,

1906
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:30,800
Speaker 1: do you think that that will be something in the

1907
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:33,559
Speaker 1: back of the mind of defensive play callers that the

1908
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 1: Bills will be facing in future weeks here where if

1909
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: they choose to again keep everything in front of them

1910
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:42,680
Speaker 1: and play nothing cheap, nothing deep, that they might be

1911
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:45,400
Speaker 1: able to get a defensive play caller to pull a

1912
01:41:45,520 --> 01:41:48,680
Speaker 1: safety down into the box sooner rather than later. If

1913
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 1: the Bills matched the same rushing success they had this week, Yeah,

1914
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 1: I think definitely, and to this point of the season

1915
01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,600
Speaker 1: that Bills hadn't shown that and they played primarily in

1916
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:02,360
Speaker 1: the shot gone throughout the season, and they went under

1917
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 1: center yesterday that may have had I know that was

1918
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 1: game plan specific for this game, but that's something that

1919
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 1: they can get to and they can get back to

1920
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 1: some of their play action game that they used a

1921
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 1: ton from under center last year. But yes, I think

1922
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,160
Speaker 1: as the season goes on one, you're going to play

1923
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: in more bad weather games. So you're glad that you

1924
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:23,839
Speaker 1: showed yourself that you're capable of having that ground attack

1925
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 1: again this year. And then defensive coordinators definitely didn't want

1926
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:29,639
Speaker 1: to see that from the Buffalo Bills considering how prolific

1927
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 1: the passing game has been at times this year. And

1928
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 1: then you add the fact that they can ground it

1929
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:36,840
Speaker 1: out on the game on the ground, grind it out

1930
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 1: on the ground, and when you have Zach Moss now

1931
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,719
Speaker 1: getting back healthy. I think you all you can't discount

1932
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bills now finally have fully healthy

1933
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 1: because Zach Moss said after the game, that's as good

1934
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 1: as he's felt since he's got to the Bills. You

1935
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 1: now have your two running back system that they plan

1936
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: on coming into the year with Zach Moss hurt early

1937
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:00,160
Speaker 1: in the year, so you know you're getting healthier at

1938
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 1: running back, and as the weather turns, it might be

1939
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: a situation that at times you rely on the ground

1940
01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 1: game even more. How important how big in this in

1941
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:13,759
Speaker 1: the locker room? What's your opinion or thoughts about how

1942
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 1: big this game was. Certainly it was the Patriots and

1943
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:18,160
Speaker 1: we get all at but also now you're four and

1944
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 1: owing the division. What do you think the conversations were

1945
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: like between the players in the locker room. You know,

1946
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,400
Speaker 1: there's always pressure going against the Patriots because they've had

1947
01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,000
Speaker 1: just a stranglehold on the division for so long. But

1948
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 1: in a year that they move on from Tom Brady

1949
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:36,800
Speaker 1: or Tom Brady moves on from them and they only

1950
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:39,519
Speaker 1: come in with two wins on the season through seven weeks,

1951
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 1: it adds even more pressure because you can't lose this

1952
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,519
Speaker 1: Patriots team, and you can't lose to him at home.

1953
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 1: And so I thought all week, you know, I didn't

1954
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:51,639
Speaker 1: account for the weather. I guess I thought the Bills

1955
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:54,680
Speaker 1: would really take advantage of this Patriots team. I thought

1956
01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 1: it would be a wider margin of victory. Any win

1957
01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL is good. I thought it'd be a

1958
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:02,839
Speaker 1: wider margin. But when the passing game, especially the downfield

1959
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 1: passing game, gets hindered because of the win, then it's

1960
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:08,680
Speaker 1: going to be a tiger ball game. But this is

1961
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 1: This was a game yesterday that you know, if you

1962
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,240
Speaker 1: lose it, you know you still have a shot of

1963
01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:17,040
Speaker 1: having just an incredible year. But the morale would have

1964
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:20,880
Speaker 1: been extremely low, just based upon the fact that they're

1965
01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 1: having such a down year. And if you couldn't beat

1966
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 1: them right then at home, man, it would just be

1967
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 1: a bad sign of what you've been building for so

1968
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,639
Speaker 1: long to this point. And one game does not define it.

1969
01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,559
Speaker 1: But you couldn't drop yesterday's game. Talking to Eric would

1970
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 1: about Sunday's win over the Patriots. He co hosts Bills

1971
01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:41,759
Speaker 1: Tonight with Maddi Glabb following each Bill's game this season.

1972
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,960
Speaker 1: Eric now at four and oh in the division six

1973
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,519
Speaker 1: and two overall, with you know, only two division games

1974
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:51,439
Speaker 1: left at the very end of the season. The Bills

1975
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:54,160
Speaker 1: now prepare themselves to enter this gauntlet part of the

1976
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:57,679
Speaker 1: schedule that's going to include a high flying Seahawks offense,

1977
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 1: a high flying Arizona offense. Those teams can't stop too

1978
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:04,240
Speaker 1: many people either. And then it even continues after the

1979
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 1: buy with the Chargers, who are scoring a lot more

1980
01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:09,680
Speaker 1: points even though they can't protect leads, and San Francisco

1981
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh. So that's a that's a rough run right there.

1982
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:17,639
Speaker 1: But maybe just give me your thoughts on even though

1983
01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:21,600
Speaker 1: that schedule looks daunting, how well the Bills are positioned

1984
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 1: now with respect to a division title. Sitting at four

1985
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:29,479
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, that's a tough stretch, but at four

1986
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 1: and OZ in the division, you gotta love where you're sitting.

1987
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 1: And then Miami's playing better, but New England and the

1988
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 1: Jets seem to be distancing themselves, and the Jets obviously

1989
01:45:40,280 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 1: sitting there at OZ and eight, you know, you'd say

1990
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:44,680
Speaker 1: that they have no shot. And then the Patriots just

1991
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:47,240
Speaker 1: don't seem to be trending in a great direction with

1992
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 1: just not having a whole lot of offensive firepower and

1993
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:52,759
Speaker 1: the defense isn't quite what it's been in the past,

1994
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 1: And so you know, can Miami get hot and give

1995
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: you a run for the division? Potentially? They sure looked

1996
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:01,800
Speaker 1: good yesterday against the Rams. But you gotta like where

1997
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:04,679
Speaker 1: you're sitting in the division right now, to your point, Chris,

1998
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny we're sitting here talking about

1999
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:10,880
Speaker 1: how that's a daunting part of the schedule, but there's

2000
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 1: there's not many people that want to play the Buffalo

2001
01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:16,800
Speaker 1: Bills right now either with them be able to grind

2002
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:18,600
Speaker 1: you out on the ground like they showed yesterday the

2003
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:21,800
Speaker 1: passing game and then just waiting for this defense to

2004
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:24,559
Speaker 1: click and way we can get to that soon. But

2005
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, once this defense clicks too, man, teams are

2006
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:31,679
Speaker 1: teams are really gonna be dread and playing the Buffalo Bills.

2007
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the Seahawks coming across the country this

2008
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 1: week to play a one o'clock game. That I would

2009
01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:40,679
Speaker 1: assume that their radio talk show, their radio host throughout

2010
01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:42,560
Speaker 1: the week, we'll be talking about how tough of a

2011
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:46,599
Speaker 1: matchup that is going across the country one o'clock game,

2012
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 1: a team that's six and two in the Buffalo Bills

2013
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 1: going forward, how much more shuffling around and the offensive

2014
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:55,960
Speaker 1: line do you anticipate. They've had to do it at

2015
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 1: every at every turn, every almost every game, and you know,

2016
01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 1: and they managed to get to six and two, which

2017
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 1: is great, But how much of that has to do

2018
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 1: with the fact that up until yesterday they couldn't run

2019
01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:13,880
Speaker 1: the football? You know, I think I think Sean McDermott

2020
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:18,080
Speaker 1: is always evaluating everybody across the team, and when there's

2021
01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:20,920
Speaker 1: five guys that's your biggest position group, there's going to

2022
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:23,679
Speaker 1: be some shuffling. There's going to be evaluation done up there.

2023
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 1: You know, quinnin Spain starts off the year now he's

2024
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 1: in a Bengals uniform. And I would assume if there

2025
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 1: hadn't been maybe the injuries to Forward and Morse, that

2026
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 1: when Feliciano got back, they would probably have their five

2027
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 1: that they would like in Dawkins, Ford, Morse, Feliciano and Williams.

2028
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 1: I would assume that's how it would have went. But

2029
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 1: now that you have the injury to Morris, there could

2030
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's going to be a state of

2031
01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:51,880
Speaker 1: flux until he comes back off the concussion, and you know,

2032
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,679
Speaker 1: with this with his history of concussions. Who knows how

2033
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:58,559
Speaker 1: soon that is so. But to my point earlier, when

2034
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 1: you have as many quality players they do in that room,

2035
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:04,799
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys that have experienced in games,

2036
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 1: it makes it easier to kind of plug and play

2037
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:10,760
Speaker 1: guys as opposed to maybe years in the past where

2038
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 1: you're wondering if a rookie that you throw in there

2039
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 1: as a backup, how he's actually going to do. Most

2040
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:21,720
Speaker 1: of these guys are all These guys have film that

2041
01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: you can go off if they have game experience that

2042
01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:26,960
Speaker 1: they can draw back off of. As we you know,

2043
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:30,080
Speaker 1: see this offensive side of the ball gain traction in

2044
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:33,679
Speaker 1: the run game, we haven't seen it kind of all

2045
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 1: meshed together on the defensive side with respect to stopping

2046
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:41,879
Speaker 1: the run. Eric They've tried different combinations of players. They've

2047
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:46,000
Speaker 1: reduced their amount of rotation up front to try to

2048
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 1: put what they feel are their best four out there

2049
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:50,679
Speaker 1: more often to try to stem the tide a little

2050
01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:54,080
Speaker 1: bit more effectively. None of it's worked with any great

2051
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 1: degree of success, with the exception of the second half

2052
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:58,920
Speaker 1: of the Jets game a couple of weeks ago. Now,

2053
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 1: if you don't have it the way you want it

2054
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 1: at mid season, does it get less and less likely

2055
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:09,160
Speaker 1: that it's ever going to come together with each passing

2056
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:14,240
Speaker 1: week here down the stretch. That's a great question, Chris.

2057
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 1: And you know, in the first half yesterday, I thought, Wow,

2058
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:19,680
Speaker 1: here we go again. The Bills when they needed to

2059
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:21,439
Speaker 1: stop the run and they wanted to stop the run

2060
01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, they were able to for a majority of

2061
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 1: that game. And then yesterday to start the game, they

2062
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:28,679
Speaker 1: hold the Patriots, who came out with a very run

2063
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:31,559
Speaker 1: heavy offense, a lot of read game with Cam Newton

2064
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:33,360
Speaker 1: in the first half, hold him to forty four yards

2065
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:36,559
Speaker 1: rushing in the first half. Well, as the passing game

2066
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 1: started to become more effective for the Patriots, they couldn't

2067
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:42,120
Speaker 1: go all in on the run and that's when you

2068
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 1: started to see those chunk run plays come up again.

2069
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:48,559
Speaker 1: I see some issues that linebacker right now. I think

2070
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:51,840
Speaker 1: some of it's, you know, injuries. When Matt Milano's out there,

2071
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:55,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't look healthy. Tremaine Edmonds is still coming back

2072
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 1: off of that injury. Aj Klein to Sean McDermott said

2073
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: after the game is forced U played positions that maybe

2074
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:04,719
Speaker 1: he's not super comfortable in you're playing with a backup

2075
01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:07,560
Speaker 1: safety and Dean Marlow who's a good football player, but

2076
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:12,560
Speaker 1: just adds to a state of just not full continuity

2077
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 1: across the defense. And then you're trying to find answers

2078
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,960
Speaker 1: across the front. You pull Harrison Phillips up back on

2079
01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:22,679
Speaker 1: the active roster for yesterday's game and he gets actually

2080
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 1: gets the most snaps of any d lineman. You have

2081
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:26,559
Speaker 1: a guy in Justin Zimmer who started off on the

2082
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 1: practice squad, you have him in there as well, and

2083
01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 1: you're trying to find answers. And to your point, Chris,

2084
01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:35,559
Speaker 1: maybe as the linebacker group gets healthier to give Micah

2085
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:40,479
Speaker 1: hide back, maybe you see more effectiveness in the run defense.

2086
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:42,760
Speaker 1: But it's an obvious concern. And what it does is

2087
01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:45,000
Speaker 1: when they're able to run the ball and stay ahead

2088
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,800
Speaker 1: of the chains, you're not giving them in obvious pass downs,

2089
01:50:47,840 --> 01:50:50,600
Speaker 1: which hurts the pass rush, which hurts your chances of

2090
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 1: forcing turnovers and games and all of that has added

2091
01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 1: up to them just not being nearly as dominant on

2092
01:50:56,920 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 1: defense as they had been really the last two year years.

2093
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,719
Speaker 1: What do you expect from the Bills at the trade deadline?

2094
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:07,559
Speaker 1: Randon being always seems to be pretty active. I would

2095
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 1: assume they're going to be busy up there upstairs these

2096
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:15,519
Speaker 1: next whatever a little over twenty four hours. I know

2097
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:18,759
Speaker 1: that being does not like the part ways with draft picks,

2098
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:21,519
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see how it all comes

2099
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:26,040
Speaker 1: together if they go after somebody you know, and then

2100
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:29,040
Speaker 1: you got to look around. Is one player is a

2101
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 1: healthy linebacker that you pick up right now that doesn't

2102
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:35,920
Speaker 1: necessarily know your scheme? Does he come in and make

2103
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:38,559
Speaker 1: an impact? Does a defensive lineman who hasn't been with

2104
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:41,280
Speaker 1: the Bill. So you got to be very selective and

2105
01:51:41,360 --> 01:51:43,200
Speaker 1: who you bring in right now if you're trying to

2106
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:46,000
Speaker 1: look for a guy to make an instant impact that

2107
01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 1: that hasn't been in maybe Leslie Frazier or Sean mcdermot's

2108
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,200
Speaker 1: defense before. But you know, I think at this point

2109
01:51:52,240 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 1: of this season, even though you're six and two and

2110
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:57,679
Speaker 1: you've got a pretty firm grasp on the division, you're

2111
01:51:57,720 --> 01:52:00,760
Speaker 1: trying to chase a super Bowl, and you of a

2112
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: lot of talent on this team and a lot of continuity,

2113
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 1: and if you feel like there's moves out there to

2114
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:09,479
Speaker 1: be made, you go out and make them. And like

2115
01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 1: I said, Brandon Bean is not afraid to make trades.

2116
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 1: That's draft day, that's trade deadline times. He's out there,

2117
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure working the phones at the same time, though,

2118
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, as a personnel boss, you don't want to

2119
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 1: chase ghosts, so to speak. I mean, you see other

2120
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:29,280
Speaker 1: teams making deals and you don't want to knee jerk

2121
01:52:29,320 --> 01:52:30,680
Speaker 1: and say, well, they made a deal, now I have

2122
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 1: to make a deal. And I think fans kind of

2123
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 1: get that perspective, like, hey, why are we not doing

2124
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,320
Speaker 1: anything when for all we know they might they might

2125
01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:40,599
Speaker 1: have been working for the last two weeks on one

2126
01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:43,280
Speaker 1: specific deal that they're still trying to hammer out. Right,

2127
01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:48,320
Speaker 1: You're exactly right, and from a fan's perspective, and shoot,

2128
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:51,360
Speaker 1: it could be anybody's perspective. At times, you think, well,

2129
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:54,680
Speaker 1: we're just one piece away, and like, hey, if we

2130
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 1: could get one dominant defensive tackle that can stop the run,

2131
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 1: we'll be all good. And that's not necessarily how this

2132
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 1: all works, you know, everybody, because most of what I'm

2133
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,840
Speaker 1: hearing and seeing this critique over the defense, and a

2134
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 1: lot of it's the rush defense, and so people want

2135
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:13,679
Speaker 1: to see them go grab a linebacker, a defensive tackle

2136
01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. And I just caution you. One,

2137
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,160
Speaker 1: if a team's looking to get rid of a guy,

2138
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:24,519
Speaker 1: there's sometimes that's that's not always a great sign. I'll

2139
01:53:24,560 --> 01:53:27,920
Speaker 1: just say that. And then also, you really got to

2140
01:53:27,920 --> 01:53:29,920
Speaker 1: make sure they fit your scheme, because you have a

2141
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: guy coming in now and he's going to take up

2142
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:34,240
Speaker 1: a roster spot, and if he if it's going to

2143
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:36,759
Speaker 1: take him weeks to learn the scheme and be comfortable

2144
01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:39,880
Speaker 1: in it, that might not be your best use of

2145
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: a draft pick or whatever you have to get up

2146
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:45,240
Speaker 1: give up at this time to get said player that

2147
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:48,000
Speaker 1: you think is going to fix all your issues. How

2148
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:50,639
Speaker 1: likely is it that the Bills that there's a guy

2149
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:54,479
Speaker 1: out there that fits all the criteria that we know

2150
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 1: about with the Buffalo Bills. One, he's available, Two, he's

2151
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:02,360
Speaker 1: good enough to make a difference quickly. Three he comes

2152
01:54:02,439 --> 01:54:05,360
Speaker 1: from a team that is willing to part ways with

2153
01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:08,920
Speaker 1: him for reasons that don't the reasons that don't bother

2154
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills say, he's got, you know, three years

2155
01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:13,360
Speaker 1: left on his rookie deal, but for some of the reason,

2156
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:17,519
Speaker 1: they've got depth, they've got other things. And also a

2157
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:20,280
Speaker 1: guy that you could fit under your cap or by

2158
01:54:20,320 --> 01:54:22,600
Speaker 1: trading the salaries of the guys on your roster to

2159
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 1: them that fits you know, you can fit him under

2160
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:27,360
Speaker 1: your cap. So it's a long list, Steve, it's a

2161
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:30,519
Speaker 1: long list of criteria that seems to shorten the list

2162
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:35,600
Speaker 1: of guys who actually meet that criteria. You're exactly right,

2163
01:54:35,640 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 1: And until you mentioned the salary cap piece of it too,

2164
01:54:38,480 --> 01:54:40,600
Speaker 1: I was going to mention that, you know, a lot

2165
01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:42,600
Speaker 1: of the guys that could come in and make a

2166
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:46,360
Speaker 1: huge impact right away, they have contracts that you now

2167
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:49,960
Speaker 1: inherit through a trade. And so this isn't you see

2168
01:54:49,960 --> 01:54:53,360
Speaker 1: a lot of Major League Baseball trade deadline deals. They

2169
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:56,320
Speaker 1: don't have a salary cap. And so when you can't

2170
01:54:56,360 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 1: compare to this other sports where the trade deadline becomes

2171
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:02,200
Speaker 1: such a big deal each year, you know you're inheriting

2172
01:55:02,200 --> 01:55:04,959
Speaker 1: a contract that you have to also be able to afford.

2173
01:55:05,880 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 1: But yes, as you started going down your list, Steve,

2174
01:55:09,320 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 1: I was thinking more and more, maybe it's not quite

2175
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:17,360
Speaker 1: as likely that the big deal comes, you know what

2176
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean? I could see Brandon being out there right now,

2177
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:23,280
Speaker 1: and you know what, we did make a splash deal

2178
01:55:23,320 --> 01:55:25,880
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen when he went after Kelvin Benjamin Calvin

2179
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:30,640
Speaker 1: Benjamin was a former Pro Bowl but he was playing

2180
01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 1: at a high level in Carolina. Well, he came to

2181
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:39,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and didn't necessarily have that impact that

2182
01:55:39,440 --> 01:55:41,960
Speaker 1: we thought he would. And that was and I hate

2183
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 1: to use KB as an example. I'm not trying to

2184
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 1: pick on him, just the situation as it seems. It's

2185
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:51,640
Speaker 1: just not always go get one player and that's going

2186
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:55,360
Speaker 1: to fix all your issues. Because that one player, Kelvin,

2187
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:58,560
Speaker 1: didn't fix our issues in the past game that year

2188
01:55:58,600 --> 01:56:00,160
Speaker 1: when he came in. One of the things, so I

2189
01:56:00,440 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 1: can ask you about two you're you played center in

2190
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:05,120
Speaker 1: the NFL and you know what it's like during the

2191
01:56:05,200 --> 01:56:07,760
Speaker 1: offseason when all the guys opted out. We mentioned this

2192
01:56:07,760 --> 01:56:10,839
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. Thirty of the sixty nine guys

2193
01:56:10,920 --> 01:56:15,080
Speaker 1: that opted out are all defensive tackles. Does that number,

2194
01:56:15,800 --> 01:56:19,360
Speaker 1: and I get why, I'm just asking that changes the

2195
01:56:19,480 --> 01:56:23,560
Speaker 1: landscape of defenses all over the National Football League? Does

2196
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 1: it not? What would be the mass effect of having

2197
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:31,200
Speaker 1: the top two or three runs of defensive tackle and

2198
01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 1: the quality of their play gone from the league's the

2199
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:36,600
Speaker 1: what's the wide ranging effect of that? You think across

2200
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 1: the league? Well, that's another good question, and and honestly,

2201
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:43,840
Speaker 1: the Bills are affected by it right now. When you

2202
01:56:43,840 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 1: have starl the two layout, you know, you go from

2203
01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:49,919
Speaker 1: your big run package last year of putting Harrison Phillips

2204
01:56:49,920 --> 01:56:53,360
Speaker 1: at the three and Star at the nose. And that

2205
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:56,520
Speaker 1: was what they kind of did after that post Miami

2206
01:56:56,600 --> 01:57:00,440
Speaker 1: Philadelphia stretch last year when everyone was really down. Well,

2207
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:04,200
Speaker 1: you eliminate starlotul who you know, take it for what

2208
01:57:04,280 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: it is. He's one of your highest paid players at

2209
01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:10,080
Speaker 1: a position of need right now. But yes, it limits

2210
01:57:10,080 --> 01:57:13,480
Speaker 1: the pool when there's so many detackle opt outs across

2211
01:57:13,520 --> 01:57:16,000
Speaker 1: the league. There's also been a lot of injuries. You know,

2212
01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:18,960
Speaker 1: to me, the best, one of the best run stoppers

2213
01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:21,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL at defensive tack will opt it in

2214
01:57:21,640 --> 01:57:23,600
Speaker 1: and then he's hurt and out for the year right now.

2215
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:26,480
Speaker 1: And that's reader in Cincinnati, you know. So there's not

2216
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:28,920
Speaker 1: as big of a pool of defensive tackles out there

2217
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:32,320
Speaker 1: as well right now, which probably limits your chances of

2218
01:57:32,360 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 1: finding that guy who fits all the criteria like you're

2219
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:38,840
Speaker 1: talking about. See all right, Eric, listen, we appreciate the

2220
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:41,160
Speaker 1: insight here. Will keep an eye out for you on

2221
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:44,000
Speaker 1: chopping wood on the Sean McDermott show. Have a good week.

2222
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:46,680
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you. I appreciate it. Thanks for

2223
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:49,240
Speaker 1: having me on. Guys. All right, that's Eric Wood joining

2224
01:57:49,320 --> 01:57:51,800
Speaker 1: us here as he does every Monday on One Bill's

2225
01:57:51,840 --> 01:57:56,360
Speaker 1: Live to break down the game. And it's interesting he

2226
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:58,400
Speaker 1: kind of he's kind of on the fence as to

2227
01:57:58,400 --> 01:58:00,200
Speaker 1: whether or not a deal will happen. He was very

2228
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:01,680
Speaker 1: gunghoe at the beginning, and I think you might have

2229
01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 1: talked him out of it a little bits. Team with

2230
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:07,200
Speaker 1: all the criteria you laid out, you're like, oh, geez,

2231
01:58:07,200 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 1: maybe there isn't a match out there. We'll have to see.

2232
01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:10,920
Speaker 1: All right, we do have to take a break, but

2233
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:12,840
Speaker 1: when we come back, we have to still get to

2234
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:16,280
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet for your comments on what was your

2235
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 1: high and you're low besides the win from Sunday's game.

2236
01:58:20,160 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 1: So we'll get to those and if we have time,

2237
01:58:22,200 --> 01:58:24,360
Speaker 1: we might even have a little true false when we

2238
01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 1: come back here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health,

2239
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:43,800
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, final half

2240
01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:49,800
Speaker 1: hour of the program, and we're going now for the

2241
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:52,120
Speaker 1: first time in the show, believe it or not, to

2242
01:58:52,200 --> 01:58:54,600
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, which is always is brought to you

2243
01:58:54,640 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company of the

2244
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:03,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and we lead off with tick Yes, Tick

2245
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:07,800
Speaker 1: T I c K. The high was the offensive line,

2246
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:11,520
Speaker 1: especially after losing more so early props to Feliciano. The

2247
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:14,760
Speaker 1: low is how poorly the linebacker play was. A. J.

2248
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 1: Klein is not an every down player being must trade

2249
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 1: for a defensive tackle. They need a DT that will

2250
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:24,200
Speaker 1: take up two blockers that will help the line backer play.

2251
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:27,880
Speaker 1: That's from Tick. Yeah, we've talked about it on the

2252
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 1: show Steve a space eater. They need a space eater

2253
01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:32,400
Speaker 1: to hold up lineman so they can't get to the

2254
01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: second level so your linebackers can run and hit man.

2255
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 1: And this is one of those years that those guys

2256
01:59:38,200 --> 01:59:40,280
Speaker 1: are at a premium because all of them opted out

2257
01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:44,920
Speaker 1: and so the only one, Yeah, we've heard him, the

2258
01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 1: guy Tomlinson from the Giants is a likely candidate that

2259
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 1: the Bills could fit under the cap and maybe get

2260
01:59:50,320 --> 01:59:54,760
Speaker 1: him make a run at But as Eric Wood just said,

2261
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:58,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean doesn't like to part with draft picks and

2262
01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:01,560
Speaker 1: in doing so, and I don't think you can you

2263
02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:05,280
Speaker 1: can count on or anticipate the Bills going outside the

2264
02:00:05,320 --> 02:00:10,240
Speaker 1: lines to make something happen this season. I think they're

2265
02:00:10,240 --> 02:00:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna They're gonna expect and the coaches will expect it

2266
02:00:12,600 --> 02:00:14,640
Speaker 1: of themselves, and the GM and the ownership and the

2267
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:16,760
Speaker 1: players will expect them to do it. From within. We

2268
02:00:16,880 --> 02:00:19,640
Speaker 1: got guys that we can play. Let's make them better

2269
02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:22,000
Speaker 1: or give them a chance to be successful, figure out,

2270
02:00:22,040 --> 02:00:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, coach them up, so to speak. Yeah, so

2271
02:00:25,480 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 1: that's always the first line of defense of when you're

2272
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:32,600
Speaker 1: not playing your best. But there's only so much you

2273
02:00:32,600 --> 02:00:34,960
Speaker 1: can do as a coaching staff. From Steve on the

2274
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:38,560
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, my low, we really miss a healthy Milano

2275
02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 1: playing every snap. Highs the defense made a play to

2276
02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:46,160
Speaker 1: win the game. Bass has made huge kicks to win

2277
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:50,080
Speaker 1: the game the last two weeks Feliciano's return and both

2278
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:53,720
Speaker 1: Moss and Singletary were able to run the ball. Yeah,

2279
02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:56,320
Speaker 1: it's a lot in there. Nobody's mentioned Bass except you

2280
02:00:56,400 --> 02:01:00,640
Speaker 1: during a break with me yea Tyler Bass And as

2281
02:01:00,760 --> 02:01:02,720
Speaker 1: per usual, you know, when a kicker makes it, he

2282
02:01:02,920 --> 02:01:07,040
Speaker 1: flies under the radar. But how big was that last kick? Um,

2283
02:01:08,480 --> 02:01:10,480
Speaker 1: it was meant it was the difference in the game.

2284
02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:13,000
Speaker 1: He was points. Yeah, he's perfect. Yesterday. Of course it

2285
02:01:13,080 --> 02:01:17,000
Speaker 1: was three extra points in a field goal, but yeah,

2286
02:01:17,040 --> 02:01:18,920
Speaker 1: that was It was a good day for Bass and

2287
02:01:19,240 --> 02:01:22,720
Speaker 1: it was in a pressure situation, a division game, and

2288
02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know, I know, I know everybody's we

2289
02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:30,400
Speaker 1: ride the roller coaster, but I'm high on the guy. Yeah,

2290
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:33,280
Speaker 1: And with respect to Austin secretary, I still maintain that

2291
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:36,680
Speaker 1: this tape this week is going to help the passing

2292
02:01:36,680 --> 02:01:38,520
Speaker 1: game going forward. I think it's going to have an

2293
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:41,520
Speaker 1: impact on defensive play callers that the Bills will be

2294
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:44,440
Speaker 1: facing in successive weeks here and may force them to

2295
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:48,120
Speaker 1: pull out of that nothing cheap, nothing deep umbrella type coverage,

2296
02:01:48,160 --> 02:01:51,480
Speaker 1: cover two shell, whatever you want to call it. If

2297
02:01:51,480 --> 02:01:54,480
Speaker 1: the Bills keep running the ball this way when they're

2298
02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:59,400
Speaker 1: facing these soft, protect over the top defenses, it may

2299
02:02:00,360 --> 02:02:02,560
Speaker 1: it may pay some dividends here in the near future

2300
02:02:02,560 --> 02:02:04,640
Speaker 1: and allow the passing game to get back to what

2301
02:02:04,760 --> 02:02:07,640
Speaker 1: we saw at times in the first month of the season.

2302
02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:11,920
Speaker 1: That's my hope. Anyway, from Jack, despite a few poor plays,

2303
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:15,480
Speaker 1: I think the d was actually better. That said, Aloe

2304
02:02:15,680 --> 02:02:18,920
Speaker 1: is the play of He's going after clying too. They

2305
02:02:18,920 --> 02:02:22,280
Speaker 1: really need to get healthy or find better options on offense.

2306
02:02:22,440 --> 02:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Great to get Moss and Motor going, Feliciano made a

2307
02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:27,400
Speaker 1: big difference. We need to find a way to beat

2308
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:33,000
Speaker 1: zone coverage. Yeah, I agree with the zone covers thing.

2309
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:34,680
Speaker 1: We've got it. When the team did all right against

2310
02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 1: the Jets, though they'd move the ball against zone coverage.

2311
02:02:37,080 --> 02:02:39,960
Speaker 1: When Yeah, when teams play zone, you've got to you

2312
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:41,520
Speaker 1: gotta be able to beat him and pick him apart.

2313
02:02:41,520 --> 02:02:43,480
Speaker 1: And Josh can do that, but it takes protection up

2314
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:46,000
Speaker 1: front to do that, and also, you know, versus man,

2315
02:02:46,920 --> 02:02:50,440
Speaker 1: same thing. The Bills need to be able to win

2316
02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:52,600
Speaker 1: both ways in the passing game, and they need to

2317
02:02:52,640 --> 02:02:55,440
Speaker 1: have everything at their disposal, certainly in zone coverage. One

2318
02:02:55,480 --> 02:02:56,880
Speaker 1: of the ways you do it is to stretch him

2319
02:02:56,920 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: vertically and horizontally, and the Bills have struggled to do that,

2320
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:04,080
Speaker 1: I think of late, because Josh has not been able

2321
02:03:04,120 --> 02:03:07,640
Speaker 1: to sit back there and stand. Now, he was able

2322
02:03:07,680 --> 02:03:11,120
Speaker 1: to do that yesterday on a couple of occasions, and

2323
02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:12,760
Speaker 1: he made him pay for the most part. You know,

2324
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:14,800
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs on the catch and run he had for

2325
02:03:14,840 --> 02:03:16,720
Speaker 1: the big thirty eight yard or down inside the ten

2326
02:03:16,840 --> 02:03:22,080
Speaker 1: set them up. Plays like that were huge yesterday Cole Beasley.

2327
02:03:22,120 --> 02:03:24,080
Speaker 1: His first catch of the game was a little crossing

2328
02:03:24,160 --> 02:03:26,760
Speaker 1: route on man coverage, returned up and got a great

2329
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:29,840
Speaker 1: seventeen or eighteen yard gain to move the sticks on

2330
02:03:29,880 --> 02:03:33,120
Speaker 1: their first drive. So when Josh has time to throw it,

2331
02:03:34,040 --> 02:03:38,200
Speaker 1: he has proven to be really effective in my observations.

2332
02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:40,920
Speaker 1: And if the offensive line takes a step up in

2333
02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:43,640
Speaker 1: that regard, or if play action becomes part of their deal,

2334
02:03:43,760 --> 02:03:46,960
Speaker 1: or if they their pass protection improves and teams don't

2335
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:49,560
Speaker 1: send extra people, you know this is a team that

2336
02:03:49,640 --> 02:03:53,360
Speaker 1: will beat you badly through the air, but teams are

2337
02:03:53,360 --> 02:03:56,880
Speaker 1: taking steps towards not letting them do that. Yeah, that's

2338
02:03:56,880 --> 02:03:58,480
Speaker 1: why I mean. I'll be interested to see what kind

2339
02:03:58,480 --> 02:04:01,400
Speaker 1: of impact the run game success will have on the

2340
02:04:01,520 --> 02:04:03,680
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators that the Bills they have to face here

2341
02:04:03,680 --> 02:04:06,960
Speaker 1: in successive weeks From Jeremy, Buffalo's passing game in the

2342
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:11,280
Speaker 1: red zone seems concerning. Still, the run defense seemed a

2343
02:04:11,360 --> 02:04:13,839
Speaker 1: little better, but is still being gassed for big plays.

2344
02:04:14,240 --> 02:04:16,680
Speaker 1: With the upcoming Juggernauts on the schedule, I feel this

2345
02:04:16,760 --> 02:04:19,800
Speaker 1: is a perfect time to get smart with the playbook.

2346
02:04:20,920 --> 02:04:22,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with the red zone. There

2347
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:24,320
Speaker 1: were three or four down there and use the running

2348
02:04:24,360 --> 02:04:26,960
Speaker 1: game to get success in the red zone, which was

2349
02:04:26,960 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 1: welcome to see because the yards are tougher down there.

2350
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:32,640
Speaker 1: If you can run the ball in the red zone,

2351
02:04:33,400 --> 02:04:36,800
Speaker 1: you're home free. Yeah, you really are. That's always been

2352
02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:40,040
Speaker 1: the case. That's why. That's why the Carolina Panthers were

2353
02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 1: so good with Cam Newton in years past and two,

2354
02:04:42,920 --> 02:04:46,680
Speaker 1: particularly in twenty fourteen. Twenty fifteen, was because Cam Newton

2355
02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:49,520
Speaker 1: was the best short yardage running back in the league.

2356
02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:53,360
Speaker 1: And the Bills have a guy like that. Josh Allen

2357
02:04:53,440 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 1: ran for a touchdown yesterday on they spread him out

2358
02:04:56,480 --> 02:05:00,200
Speaker 1: he and he just runs a quarterback draw and one

2359
02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:03,280
Speaker 1: guy in a hole is not going to stop him

2360
02:05:03,320 --> 02:05:06,080
Speaker 1: for a two yard game. I mean, he waltzed in

2361
02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:09,720
Speaker 1: and that's huge in the red zone. The Bills were

2362
02:05:09,760 --> 02:05:13,240
Speaker 1: really effective, and they ran for three touchdowns yesterday and

2363
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:15,680
Speaker 1: throw for three. They ran for three and that's big

2364
02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:19,840
Speaker 1: and I think the Seahawks will see it. From Brian

2365
02:05:19,960 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, the low burying my head in

2366
02:05:23,040 --> 02:05:25,440
Speaker 1: my hands as I watched Cam scampering for what I

2367
02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:28,840
Speaker 1: expected to be a game winning touchdown. The high hearing

2368
02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 1: the ball came out and realizing we forced the fumble

2369
02:05:31,960 --> 02:05:34,360
Speaker 1: as my head was buried in my hands. Then my

2370
02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Pat's friend sobbing. We had it one. Nothing like nothing

2371
02:05:40,280 --> 02:05:44,600
Speaker 1: like soaking up the wallowing of your friend as you're

2372
02:05:44,680 --> 02:05:48,080
Speaker 1: high for the day, drinking in the tears of your enemies. Yes,

2373
02:05:50,760 --> 02:05:54,560
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. That's great from Nick t high. We

2374
02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:57,880
Speaker 1: were able to run the ball efficiently low outside of

2375
02:05:57,880 --> 02:06:00,920
Speaker 1: the great strip by Zimmer. The defense isn't great. The

2376
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:03,400
Speaker 1: Pats had no weapons, yet still move the ball well

2377
02:06:03,440 --> 02:06:06,280
Speaker 1: against us. How are we supposed to stop the Seahawks,

2378
02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:09,480
Speaker 1: Steelers and the other offenses were about to play. It's

2379
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:13,400
Speaker 1: a valid question, Nick, it's a valid question, and I

2380
02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:16,360
Speaker 1: don't know that they're going to with any great effectiveness

2381
02:06:16,760 --> 02:06:19,160
Speaker 1: unless they come up with some masterful game plan and

2382
02:06:19,240 --> 02:06:22,600
Speaker 1: they execute it to a t or force multiple turnovers.

2383
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:25,720
Speaker 1: I really think turnovers are the only way you're going

2384
02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:29,920
Speaker 1: to neutralize or stop, or at least slow down the

2385
02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:33,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense, which has scored four touchdowns in every single

2386
02:06:33,520 --> 02:06:37,000
Speaker 1: game they have played. Russell Wilson has thrown at least

2387
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:40,520
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes in every game they have played, and

2388
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:45,080
Speaker 1: right now they are the number one scoring offense. In football,

2389
02:06:45,400 --> 02:06:47,280
Speaker 1: and then the week after that they get to play

2390
02:06:47,320 --> 02:06:50,320
Speaker 1: the eighth highest scoring offense in football in the Arizona Cardinals,

2391
02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 1: on the road, so I think the road gets tougher.

2392
02:06:54,800 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 1: Generally speaking, it looks if you're just going to generalize

2393
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:01,760
Speaker 1: and nothing unusual happens, like like it did this week

2394
02:07:01,760 --> 02:07:03,680
Speaker 1: with the Bills and the Patriots. The Bills came from

2395
02:07:03,680 --> 02:07:06,280
Speaker 1: nowhere and rushed for over almost two hundred yards. That

2396
02:07:06,360 --> 02:07:09,440
Speaker 1: was unexpected, I think by everybody. So unless so, if

2397
02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:11,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about how the season has gone, it looks

2398
02:07:11,520 --> 02:07:14,240
Speaker 1: like the Bills Seahawks game is going to be like

2399
02:07:14,240 --> 02:07:17,320
Speaker 1: a forty five forty game because the Seahawks defense is

2400
02:07:17,360 --> 02:07:20,920
Speaker 1: every bit as porous as as you know we've seen

2401
02:07:20,960 --> 02:07:23,720
Speaker 1: the Bills defense be this year, if not more so.

2402
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:29,640
Speaker 1: The Seahawks can't stop anybody, same thing when you get

2403
02:07:29,680 --> 02:07:32,000
Speaker 1: to you know, the Cardinals, and the Cardinals are a

2404
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:34,160
Speaker 1: little different animal, and it'll be the same with them

2405
02:07:34,440 --> 02:07:37,000
Speaker 1: the Bill. The way you stop the other team is

2406
02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:40,480
Speaker 1: play complimentary football. Let your offense take over control of

2407
02:07:40,520 --> 02:07:44,400
Speaker 1: football and give your defense give the other offense fewer

2408
02:07:44,480 --> 02:07:46,520
Speaker 1: chances to do it. That's what the Patriots plan was

2409
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:49,040
Speaker 1: yesterday that's what the Bills did against the Chiefs. We're

2410
02:07:49,040 --> 02:07:51,280
Speaker 1: seeing it more and more around the league, so in

2411
02:07:51,320 --> 02:07:52,880
Speaker 1: some of these games that's going to be the case.

2412
02:07:52,960 --> 02:07:56,080
Speaker 1: The Steelers. It's their defense that I'm afraid of, not

2413
02:07:56,160 --> 02:08:00,120
Speaker 1: their offense. Let's do a little NFL true falls here, Steve,

2414
02:08:00,120 --> 02:08:02,280
Speaker 1: because I think this will help us get a better

2415
02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:04,920
Speaker 1: landscape of the AFC with what we have on tap

2416
02:08:05,320 --> 02:08:08,680
Speaker 1: for NFL true false NFL true false Number one, Steve,

2417
02:08:09,080 --> 02:08:13,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers are the best team in the NFL right now.

2418
02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:17,800
Speaker 1: They're the only undefeated team left. If the old adage

2419
02:08:17,800 --> 02:08:22,440
Speaker 1: by Bill Parcels is true, you are what your record

2420
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:24,240
Speaker 1: says you are what your record says you are, and

2421
02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:26,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers the only undefeated team left, so I would

2422
02:08:26,520 --> 02:08:31,720
Speaker 1: say yes. I mean, they beat the Ravens yesterday in

2423
02:08:31,800 --> 02:08:36,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore in Baltimore, despite getting out gained in a big way.

2424
02:08:37,440 --> 02:08:42,080
Speaker 1: I think they are right now the best offensive and

2425
02:08:42,240 --> 02:08:46,960
Speaker 1: defensive collective in the league. Seattle scoring points like crazy,

2426
02:08:46,960 --> 02:08:49,040
Speaker 1: but they can't stop anybody that's going to come back

2427
02:08:49,080 --> 02:08:53,280
Speaker 1: to hurt you in the playoffs. The Chiefs probably are

2428
02:08:53,360 --> 02:08:57,680
Speaker 1: the closest thing to what the Patriots have. They got

2429
02:08:57,680 --> 02:09:01,120
Speaker 1: a top ten offense and defense. So I would say

2430
02:09:01,120 --> 02:09:03,800
Speaker 1: it's down to Pittsburgh in Kansas City as the class

2431
02:09:03,800 --> 02:09:07,440
Speaker 1: of the league. But since the Steelers are undefeated, I

2432
02:09:07,440 --> 02:09:12,480
Speaker 1: will say true as well. So yes, true and true.

2433
02:09:12,880 --> 02:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Second one NFL True falls Steve. The Ravens need more

2434
02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:19,400
Speaker 1: from Lamar Jackson in the past game if they're gonna

2435
02:09:19,400 --> 02:09:24,360
Speaker 1: win the AFC, I say yeah, let's say yes. I

2436
02:09:24,400 --> 02:09:26,880
Speaker 1: think that if you're looking at what's holding Baltimore up,

2437
02:09:27,120 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 1: that's it. Lamar's inability to make enough plays has got

2438
02:09:32,680 --> 02:09:34,120
Speaker 1: to be what's holding them back. They've got to play,

2439
02:09:34,160 --> 02:09:35,840
Speaker 1: they gotta throw the football man, and I haven't seen

2440
02:09:36,120 --> 02:09:38,560
Speaker 1: many of their games, so I'm you know, I'm speaking

2441
02:09:38,560 --> 02:09:43,080
Speaker 1: in generalities, but we know they can run it right,

2442
02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:46,160
Speaker 1: but they're not even running it with as much effectiveness

2443
02:09:46,200 --> 02:09:49,360
Speaker 1: as they did last year. They are the number one

2444
02:09:49,440 --> 02:09:52,160
Speaker 1: rushing team in the league, but their production isn't quite

2445
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:55,160
Speaker 1: as high. And then as far as passing, there thirty

2446
02:09:55,160 --> 02:09:57,720
Speaker 1: first in the league and passing. You can't have that

2447
02:09:57,800 --> 02:10:00,080
Speaker 1: kind of dichotomy. You can't be first in rushing and

2448
02:10:00,280 --> 02:10:04,640
Speaker 1: thirty first in passing. Who's thirty second, Who's last in

2449
02:10:04,680 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 1: the league in passing? Steve tasker asks me, and I

2450
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:10,680
Speaker 1: tell him it's the New York Jets. I'm surprised they're

2451
02:10:10,720 --> 02:10:15,160
Speaker 1: that high. They can't be, aren't they Like I thought

2452
02:10:15,160 --> 02:10:17,400
Speaker 1: they'd be in the mid fifties ranked or something. Well, yeah,

2453
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:19,400
Speaker 1: but we only have thirty two gems, all right? That

2454
02:10:19,480 --> 02:10:21,960
Speaker 1: is NFL True Falls. Brought to you by Yancey's Fancy,

2455
02:10:22,040 --> 02:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy, New York's Artists and Cheese. A break for us,

2456
02:10:25,720 --> 02:10:27,800
Speaker 1: But when we return, it's what have we learned? Coming

2457
02:10:27,840 --> 02:10:30,400
Speaker 1: up next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health,

2458
02:10:30,600 --> 02:10:51,400
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio time for what have we learned

2459
02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:54,360
Speaker 1: from today's show? Brought to you, as always by Skyworks,

2460
02:10:54,400 --> 02:10:59,160
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2461
02:10:59,240 --> 02:11:04,000
Speaker 1: And aside from the outcome, what was You're high and

2462
02:11:04,080 --> 02:11:06,120
Speaker 1: low from Sunday's game? I would say, on the whole

2463
02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:10,520
Speaker 1: people were encouraged by the running game and disappointed by

2464
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:15,080
Speaker 1: aspects of the defense to varying degrees. Some people were

2465
02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:18,080
Speaker 1: singling out players that they have a problem with. Other

2466
02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:21,560
Speaker 1: people were singing, you know, pointing out the collective and

2467
02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:26,360
Speaker 1: how the defense just has not been consistent enough and

2468
02:11:26,400 --> 02:11:29,640
Speaker 1: I think our feelings were somewhat similar Steve, with how

2469
02:11:29,680 --> 02:11:31,560
Speaker 1: that game played out. Yes, and I think most of

2470
02:11:31,600 --> 02:11:34,120
Speaker 1: it is the fact that the defense has been a

2471
02:11:34,120 --> 02:11:37,520
Speaker 1: continuation of what we've seen all year. I think even

2472
02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:39,440
Speaker 1: the guide, the players, and the coaches, I think they're

2473
02:11:39,480 --> 02:11:41,640
Speaker 1: all a little bit disappointed in the fact that they

2474
02:11:41,640 --> 02:11:43,680
Speaker 1: thought there there was a chance. And I was in

2475
02:11:43,720 --> 02:11:45,600
Speaker 1: this boat as well. I thought there was a chance

2476
02:11:45,680 --> 02:11:49,680
Speaker 1: this defense could have gotten better this offseason, not where

2477
02:11:49,720 --> 02:11:53,960
Speaker 1: it is now statistically better. Now, defenses around the league

2478
02:11:53,960 --> 02:11:56,960
Speaker 1: are all struggling, and maybe this thing we've hit on

2479
02:11:57,000 --> 02:11:59,640
Speaker 1: today about all these defensive tackles that opted out have

2480
02:11:59,800 --> 02:12:03,560
Speaker 1: left teams a little bit undersized, little bit under demand upfront,

2481
02:12:03,600 --> 02:12:06,360
Speaker 1: and teams can pass protect better, they can run the

2482
02:12:06,360 --> 02:12:10,320
Speaker 1: ball better in certain situations, or what have you. But

2483
02:12:11,360 --> 02:12:15,040
Speaker 1: certainly here in Buffalo, I think everybody's a lot really

2484
02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:18,600
Speaker 1: surprised at the play of the defense so far this season,

2485
02:12:18,640 --> 02:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the first half of this season. I think now it's

2486
02:12:20,880 --> 02:12:23,200
Speaker 1: time for us to get our get our minds around it,

2487
02:12:23,240 --> 02:12:25,040
Speaker 1: and put our arms around and saying, well, this is

2488
02:12:25,240 --> 02:12:29,720
Speaker 1: this is who you are, particularly after tomorrow, where you

2489
02:12:29,760 --> 02:12:31,760
Speaker 1: know the deadline's hitting. So if you're going to get

2490
02:12:31,760 --> 02:12:34,560
Speaker 1: better with personnel or whatever. It's going to happen before

2491
02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:37,560
Speaker 1: four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Yeah. Right now, the Bills were

2492
02:12:37,640 --> 02:12:41,320
Speaker 1: ranked twenty sixth against the run in the NFL. They

2493
02:12:41,400 --> 02:12:46,440
Speaker 1: are eleventh against the pass. Their sack percentage ranks twelfth

2494
02:12:46,440 --> 02:12:51,400
Speaker 1: in the league. Their third down defense is thirtieth, points

2495
02:12:51,400 --> 02:12:56,640
Speaker 1: allowed fifteenth, So you ask, what are they facing in

2496
02:12:56,680 --> 02:13:01,000
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. Here Seattle running game twelfth

2497
02:13:01,040 --> 02:13:03,560
Speaker 1: in the league, passing game third in the league, points

2498
02:13:03,600 --> 02:13:08,080
Speaker 1: per game first in the league, third down efficiency twenty sixth.

2499
02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:11,320
Speaker 1: That's surprising, but my guess is they don't even get

2500
02:13:11,320 --> 02:13:14,200
Speaker 1: to third down half the time because they're getting five

2501
02:13:14,320 --> 02:13:18,360
Speaker 1: and six play scoring drives. And then the following week

2502
02:13:18,400 --> 02:13:20,880
Speaker 1: they play the number one offense in football in Arizona,

2503
02:13:20,920 --> 02:13:23,600
Speaker 1: which has the number two rushing attack due in large

2504
02:13:23,600 --> 02:13:26,960
Speaker 1: part to Kyler Murray in the fourteenth, passing offense fourteenth

2505
02:13:26,960 --> 02:13:30,440
Speaker 1: on third down conversions in eight points per game. So

2506
02:13:30,880 --> 02:13:33,200
Speaker 1: the next two weeks are going to be a stiff

2507
02:13:33,240 --> 02:13:36,000
Speaker 1: test for this defense, and I think they're going to

2508
02:13:36,040 --> 02:13:39,240
Speaker 1: really have to focus on taking the ball away to

2509
02:13:39,400 --> 02:13:42,080
Speaker 1: even out that ledger there on the scoreboard. Yeah, I agree.

2510
02:13:42,120 --> 02:13:43,920
Speaker 1: I agree. It's got to be a playmaking defense, and

2511
02:13:43,960 --> 02:13:46,480
Speaker 1: if your personnel were going to stay the same, you've

2512
02:13:46,480 --> 02:13:48,840
Speaker 1: got to maximize what they do and how they're doing it.

2513
02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:50,960
Speaker 1: And that does give you some limitations, but it also

2514
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:53,840
Speaker 1: opens up some possibilities and opportunities and they're gonna have

2515
02:13:53,880 --> 02:13:56,320
Speaker 1: to exploit them. All Right, that's it for us on

2516
02:13:56,360 --> 02:13:59,800
Speaker 1: a Monday edition of One Bills Live. Your Tuesday edition,
