Speaker 1: here on a Monday after a victory, will go through

35
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: the rundown shortly. As always, we will be asking for

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaways from yesterday's ten point victory over the Packers,

37
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: the fourth straight for Buffalo as they improved to six

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: and one continue to sit atop the AFC conference and

39
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, Steve, I know it was not an air

40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: type game by any means. It wasn't a quote unquote

41
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: complete game in the dominating fashion in which the previous

42
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: two home games were filed. But it's still a double

43
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: digit victory. The job was completed. It's another w. A

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: ten point win that wasn't close, that wasn't as closest,

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't that close. The closest the only time, the

46
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: one play in the entire game that was a microcosm

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: of how not close that game was was the fifty

48
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: five yard attempt field goal to get it within ten,

49
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even that's yeah, within seven with it,

50
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: and that's that's at the end of the game. Yeah,

51
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: that was left. The whole game was wrapped up. It

52
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: looked like, well, okay, if they make this, they might

53
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: get close. Oh it was a weak attempt. Yeah, that's

54
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: how close this game will never was. Um Bills were

55
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: up twenty four to seven and half going away, and

56
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: I just felt like they just stood up and said,

57
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: you know what, they just don't have enough in the

58
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: tank to beat us tonight. Um certainly Josh made some

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: he tried to make some things happen in the second

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: half of the two bad throws he made. I think

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: the one was a throwaway that you know Jerry or

62
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: Alexander got underneath. Yeah, I tried to dirt and didn't

63
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: do it. Good play by Alexander Um Steph Diggs was dominant.

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: He played extremely well. This game was not close. It

65
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: was a ten point victory. The Bills won it on

66
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: a night when they absolutely didn't play their best. That's

67
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: that's really the story of the game and the past.

68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, the Packers were chippy all night.

69
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: It started with in the tunnel with jay Or, Alexander

70
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: and Diggs. They were drawn at each other. Uh kway,

71
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: Walker gets gets ejected for what was I mean nothing,

72
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: a two hand shove. I mean, I get it. I mean, okay,

73
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: he got ejected, but I don't know why he snapped

74
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: on a sideline guy who was there. He didn't, I mean,

75
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: nothing happened. Yeah, and the ref came out. I thought

76
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: he was going to give him the warning, right, like

77
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: if he has one more, he's ejected, Like, no, he's straight,

78
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: And I think that came. I think that I think

79
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: that came down from up top. Um. The guy on

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: the sidelines, which we found out was Zach Davidson as

81
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: a practice squad tied in for the Bills. He he's

82
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: he protected his feet, got up and he was yelling

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: at Cook and kuway Walker got up and jacked him

84
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: and it was nothing, not a big deal. But he

85
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: got he got the penalty, and he deserved a penalty.

86
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: But I, you know, I thought it was conduct. I

87
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: didn't know if it rose to the level of an ejection.

88
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Zack Davidson was doing nothing. He was stepping up over

89
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: to cook, help cook up, and help cook up, and

90
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: quay Walker turns around. I think Little Georgia the chippiness

91
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: of that game, at least on the Packers side. I

92
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: think the Bills kind of tried to match them. I

93
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: think the pack is a frustrated squad, right, you and

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: I were kind of texting in our tech loop. Yeah,

95
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: I think the Packers seemed like a frustrated squad who

96
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: thinks there whose season is slipping away and they're mad

97
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: about it and there's nothing they can do. They knew

98
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: they were about to lose their fourth straight game, and

99
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: now you're three and five, You're behind in your own

100
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: division that you've dominated for the better part of the

101
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: last twelve years. And they're not used to They're not

102
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: used to being where they are right now. There's nobody

103
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: on that roster that's used to being where they are

104
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: because they've been a thirteen win football team each of

105
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: the last three years. And now after that loss, Yeah,

106
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: you know you're you can't get to thirteen wins now, Yeah,

107
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: you've got five in the lost column. The best you

108
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: can do is twelve and five. You're not getting to

109
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: thirteen wins like the last week. You're not looking good.

110
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: You're you're getting beat by a team that is not

111
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: even shifting gears to do it. And I think their

112
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 1: frustration was showing through a little bit last night. Yeah.

113
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: The other the other curious element of this game was

114
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: the approach by the Green Bay Packers in the second half.

115
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: Von Miller addressed it in his postgame media comments, and

116
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us asking the questions there

117
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: after the game felt much the same. The Packers are

118
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: down twenty four to seven at the half, and they

119
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: decide to stick with a run game that was very successful,

120
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: But as soon as Buffalo goes up seventeen points with

121
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: the fuel goal drive in the third quarter, and you're

122
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: down twenty seven to ten. It's now a three score game.

123
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: You have to throw the football. And I think Leslie

124
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Frazier and his defense thought the same thing so much

125
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: to the point where they were playing in anticipation of

126
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: the pass and the Packers kept running the football. I

127
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: don't know about you, Steve, but if you can figure

128
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: it out and I can figure it out, that with

129
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: the time left on the clock you have to score

130
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: quicker than the run game allows you to, you should

131
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: throw the football. You have the back to back MVP

132
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: at quarterback, and I realize you're down to four receivers

133
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: in that game. You're playing a lot of two tight

134
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: end sets because Watson goes out with the concussion in

135
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: the first half, and you're down to four wideouts, two

136
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: of whom are rookies. Maybe you want to run it

137
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more, but holy crap, throw it to

138
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. He's one of your most targeted guys in

139
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: the passing game. Anyway, get him out out there as

140
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: an extra wide out. Throw him the ball. He's got

141
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: a lead speed. Throw him the ball. Try to take

142
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: some more chunk plays. I know the Bills aren't big

143
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: on giving those up, but you're running out of time.

144
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: You don't have the number of possessions to climb back

145
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: into the game. If you're gonna run it, that's great.

146
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: Twelve play, ninety five yards scoring drive. What the hell

147
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: are you doing? Yeah, they came the Bills. That game

148
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: was over when they were running the ball down the

149
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Bill's throat and the Bills stopped him on a fourth

150
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: and short. The game was over because at that point,

151
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: after they had taken up so much time, they ran

152
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: out of possessions. They flat ran out of time to

153
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: get the ball back enough to have any shot at

154
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: winning that game. It was over. It defied modern football logic,

155
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: and I was I was talking about this with one

156
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: of our coworkers here before. The show has been around

157
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: as long as we have. The way Matt Lafleur coached

158
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: the last quarter and a half of that football game

159
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: reminded me of Dick Giron. Dick Giron, who played let's

160
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: not get blown out, who played to make a game

161
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: look better on the scoreboard, even though he had no

162
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: intention of winning the game. The difference between the Dick

163
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Giron two thousand and nine Bills, and this Packers team

164
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: is This Packers team has been successful. They have talent,

165
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: They've got seven first round picks on defense, and you

166
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: have the back to back MVP playing quarterback, not Trent Edwards.

167
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, yeah, Matt Lafleur, your

168
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: seasons on the line, throw the ball. Yeah, I would.

169
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: I was in a postgame interview right after the fact.

170
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Von Miller alluded to that fact. He said, man, he

171
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: had a conversation after the game with Aaron Rodgers asking me,

172
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: why didn't you guys throwing the ball? Aaron Gameman answer

173
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: he would not share, but he was out there shocked

174
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't get Very Many pastors said

175
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: the same thing at the post game, at the postgame table, yeah,

176
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: I mean, if he goes. They were perplexed by what

177
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: the Packers were doing when they were playing Bill's defense,

178
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: Like and look, we can debate as much as we

179
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: want about this subject, because I'm expecting us to get

180
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: some calls saying, hey, our run defense has to be better.

181
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: How much do you put on so that the Packers

182
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: get two hundred something yards rushing the ball? You never

183
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: want to give up that many yards. But when you

184
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: have a defense that is playing and anticipating the pass,

185
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: you are going to give up rushing yardage. How much

186
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: do you put on the way the defense was designed

187
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: to stop the pass, and how much do you put

188
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: on Hey, our gap control has gotta be better. Hey,

189
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: our tackling's gotta be better. Where do you come down.

190
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into We don't need to get

191
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: down this wormhole too much. But here's the thing. If

192
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: you're throwing the football, you're getting chunks yards. Okay, when

193
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: you're running it and getting chunks yard, it's different because

194
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: every single play the clock is running. Clock. In a

195
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: passing play, you complete seventy percent of them. Three out

196
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: of every those plays. Stop the clock. The game takes

197
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to get through and you have more time

198
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: remaining because the clock is not running to get possessions in,

199
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: and that adds up over the course of the game.

200
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: The Packers, while yes, they were making some hay in

201
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: the running game, the Bills, yeah, and I was going,

202
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the Bills absolutely will not get out

203
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: of Nickel defense. You can't pry him out of that

204
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: with a crowbar. Leslie Fraser says, do it. Try it.

205
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave Taryn Johnson on the field with five dbs.

206
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: You can run against our six man heavy box. Go ahead,

207
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: We're up seventeen, bro, Sleeve, bring it on, because every

208
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: time you snap off a four or five yard run

209
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: or even a seven yard run, clock's ticking. Bro. You

210
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: still got to score seventeen points. And that clock is

211
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: ticking every single play. It got down to the point

212
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: where they didn't start throwing the ball, and it was

213
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: too late till ten minutes left in the game. It's

214
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: too late. They didn't start throwing the balls a ten

215
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game. Rogers Titanian five yards, Rogers

216
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: Tanian fifteen yards, Rogers to Dabs twenty six yards, incomplete

217
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: scrambles for eleven incomplete touchdown past thirty seven yards, eight play,

218
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: ninety five yard drive in three and a half minutes,

219
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: rowing the ball and Pourers out of the game, right

220
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: they got back? Are your safeties? I mean, I mean,

221
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: were you doing in the third quarter? Though? Why why

222
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: would you not? I mean, I mean, I get it,

223
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: you're making some hey and it looks nice. I don't know,

224
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: there's a dynamic there that is puzzling. You can say

225
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: analytics or whatever is it? Do you think it comes

226
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: down to? Are they Is Matt Lafleur making a statement

227
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: to his quarterback, No, I don't, I don't know what

228
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: he's doing. Is Rogers not checking out of stuff in

229
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: running plays? Like to make to accentuate a problem? Do

230
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: they run as many RPOs as the Pills? But is he?

231
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: Is he not checking out of running plays? Is it?

232
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Has that been what their go to has been? Like

233
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna go up there with a run play called

234
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: or you can and you can check out of it

235
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: to a pass play and will do that and let

236
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: you pick it kind of thing. And that is some

237
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: of that going on? What is going on? And we

238
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: here is the possession that lost them the game? Right,

239
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey, this is the possession that lost in

240
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: them the game. They get the ball at their own

241
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: twenty five off a kickoff after the field goal drive

242
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: by the Bills to go up twenty seven to ten. Okay,

243
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: there is fourteen twenty two and the third. Yeah, they

244
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: go eleven plays for forty eight yards and take almost

245
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: seven minutes off the game clock. They get forty eight

246
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: yards in seven minutes and turn it over on downs,

247
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: that's the game. That's the game. After that, the game

248
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: is over. It doesn't even matter. They get the ball

249
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: again at the twelve twelve half mark of the fourth quarter,

250
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: off a pick, off a pick, and then Aaron throws

251
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: a pick. Then Aaron gets the tipped interception when they trade,

252
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: and then it's over. And then all that all that happens,

253
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: and the game was over. And because here's the thing,

254
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: even if they don't get the pick, even if Josh

255
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: didn't throw the pick and Aaron doesn't throw that, Josh,

256
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: they get a field goal, then it's twenty seven. Then

257
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: it's thirty. Yeah. And what doesn't make sense to the

258
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: approach where the Packers are still running the ball there

259
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: on that seven minute drive is prior to that, the

260
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: Bills had scored on five consecutive possessions, three touchdowns. They

261
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: couldn't get two field goals. What in Matt Lafleur's brain

262
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: is telling him, Oh, well, we'll just get it back again.

263
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: Now he did by happenstands because of two poor decisions

264
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: by Josh on picks. But you're not banking on that.

265
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Your team has two interceptions the whole season. Yeah, actually, yeah,

266
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: exactly and actually wasn't even a bad decision by Josh.

267
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: He was bad execution. He couldn't spot, he didn't dirt it,

268
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: he didn't dirt it good enough. And Alexander got a

269
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: nice got underneath it. But Josh did the right thing

270
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: on the play, he just didn't do it well enough.

271
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: So that's to me. Here's the thing. The Bills know

272
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: this being in the A. I don't know whether it's

273
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: being in the AFC playing the Chiefs every year maybe

274
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: or not. But here's the thing. When you get into

275
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: a game with Buffalo, when you get into a game

276
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: with the Kansas City Chiefs, when you get into the

277
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: game with some of these teams that can go like Philly, bro,

278
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: you gotta score, You gotta outscore, you gotta score. This

279
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: is not the ninth And there was some stuff going

280
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: on social media. It looked like the nineteen sixty five

281
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers last night. We're gonna grind, We're gonna

282
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: run the ball in the alley, Vince Lombardi. No, if

283
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna play the Buffalo Bill here and a seal

284
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: there and we're gonna run this ball out, listen, you

285
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: gotta score with the Buffalo Bills. You gotta score with

286
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: the with the Kansas City Chiefs, you gotta score with

287
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: the with the La Rams, you gotta score with the Niners.

288
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: You gotta keep up with the Philadelphia Eagles. You can't

289
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: think you're gonna grind it out with these kids. You listen,

290
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: you gotta keep They're gonna score thirty. What's your plan

291
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: for getting to that moint? What's your plan for getting

292
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: to that point? You're not getting to beat them like that.

293
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: You just aren't the h The Baltimore Ravens did it.

294
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: They kept the building, but they lost the And if

295
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: if you can somehow play in a day where it's

296
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: nine thousand degrees on the bills sideline and only seventy

297
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: five on your sideline, you got a chance. Other than that, Yeah,

298
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: you gotta score. If you're playing the Chiefs, the Bills

299
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: know it. You gotta ring it up. And the Packers

300
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: just haven't. I don't know they playing in the playing

301
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: the Bears and the Lions all those years they play,

302
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: say yeah, you know they'll they'll whatever, they'll, they'll do it.

303
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: That run game approach is fine at the outset of

304
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: a football game. You're gonna keep the ball out of

305
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: Josh's hands and run the ball. Five straight possessions though

306
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: against you, I know, but in the first half, before

307
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: the game got away from you, you you want to take

308
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: that approach. Okay, I'll listen to it, at least i'll

309
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: listen to it. But in the second half, down seventeen points,

310
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Like, you know, you're only you're

311
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: down three scores in the second half, and at the

312
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: start of the fourth quarter you're probably saying yourself, at best,

313
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: we'll have three possessions. That's right for the rest of

314
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: the game. At best, unless yeah, unless you can count

315
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: on the Bills giving it to you twice, which they

316
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: did and it still wasn't enough. So, I mean, the

317
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: Bills coughed it up twice in the second half and

318
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: they they barely got within shouting distance. You're down three

319
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: scores and you're gonna get three more possessions if you're lucky,

320
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: like throw the damn ball with the with the back

321
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: to back envy. It defies logic for me that it

322
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: made no sense. The game never it was really it

323
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: was uncomfortable because the Bill's offense was sputtering in the

324
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: second half, and you know, John but it was never close.

325
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: But the but the Green Bay could have made it

326
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: uncomfortable if they threw the football. That was the thing.

327
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: Though they had no answer for the Bills pass rush.

328
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: It didn't look like if you still drop back three

329
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: plays in a row. It looked like Aaron was going

330
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: to go down. Yeah, and one of them. And maybe

331
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: that's part of his approach. I don't know. Maybe backed

332
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: them off. They threw a lot of the quick swing stuff.

333
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: Maybe they were worried about Maybe they thought they could

334
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: snap off a forty five yard run too, which is

335
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: like a good pass play. Okay, maybe I'm but no,

336
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's just aspen it straws. Then they the

337
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: Bills were in and I know what it's I don't

338
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: know what it sounded like on the broadcast, because you know,

339
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: when Chris Collinsworth does a Bill's game, he gets crushed

340
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: by social media. They hate him because they think he's

341
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: got something in the against the Bills. He won't talk

342
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: nice about him. But I'm telling you because he had

343
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: said that the Packers were in control of the game

344
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: when they were on that long drive, that eleven play

345
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: drive eating up the clock. Well, they were down seventeen.

346
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you can give them the steering wheel

347
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: if you want, because they're not doing anything with it.

348
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: So the Bills controlled that game from start to finish.

349
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: The only time it looked good for the Packers was

350
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: after the Bills we did a three and out on

351
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: the opening drive, which the first time it's happened all year.

352
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: I think maybe it maybe it happened one other time.

353
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, And I guess the turnovers were

354
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: kind of the lull that we've seen this offense from

355
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: time to time. And that gets us into the other

356
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: topic of conversation that we should discuss. And incidentally, if

357
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: you have any big takeaways from the game yesterday, feel

358
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: free to share them with us at eight three fifty one,

359
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: eight fifty two, five fifty got an open line for

360
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: you there or on the tweet sheet at one Bills

361
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: Live the trash talking and the back and forth that

362
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: occurred before the team's even got on the field for

363
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: the opening kickoff. It's Art in the tunnel between Alexander

364
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: and Diggs, with Diggs chasing Alexander out of the tunnel

365
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: when the Packers came out onto the field before pregame introductions,

366
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: and I had a pretty interesting exchange with Stefan Diggs

367
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: about this in the postgame press conference, and I'm I

368
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to scold Stefan in any way. I wasn't

369
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: trying to criticize him for the way he kind of

370
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: handled the back and forth which we've seen in games.

371
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: I was just trying to better understand the level it

372
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: got to. If he believes there's a place where it

373
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: crosses the line and becomes detrimental to your football team,

374
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: and if so, what does he do to handle that

375
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: or bring it back under control? So I you know,

376
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: first he was asked if there's a past history with Alexander.

377
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, I guess, I mean a little bit.

378
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: Hadn't really thought about it because we haven't the Packers

379
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: twice a year like I used to. And then he

380
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: was asked about what happened before the game, him chasing

381
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: the guy out of the tunnel, and he said, no,

382
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about it like that because my opponent

383
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: changes every week. I used to play them twice a year,

384
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: so it wasn't like I anticipated him doing the stuff

385
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: that he did. I didn't anticipate that. So then he

386
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: was asked, well, did Alexander start it? And he said,

387
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: I don't give a bleep who started it. All finish it.

388
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I got the win. I

389
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: don't deal with moral victories. I don't deal with one

390
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: on one battles because it's not a one on one game.

391
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 1: We're not out there playing seven on seven and this

392
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: is not one on one. If that's the case, I'm

393
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: out there by myself. It's a team effort. I got

394
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: the dub. I feel like at the end of the day,

395
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: there are no moral victories. So he was asked that

396
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: was there more talking in this game than usual? He said,

397
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: it's the most talking I've ever had with another team.

398
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: He said why, I don't know. We don't really do

399
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: too much talking in general. Week to week. He said.

400
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: We just go in try to get the job done.

401
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: It happens this way sometimes. I don't care no matter

402
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: how a game approaches, I'm a leader on this football team.

403
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to be a leader. I'm going

404
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: to lead by example and I'm not going to get

405
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: pushed around by anybody. So at that point in time,

406
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: he was asked about the second half getting sloppy and

407
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. So I said, look, you seem to

408
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: be a very self aware person. He said, yes, one

409
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I said, I think it's safe to call

410
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: you a hyper competitive guy. Right. He said, that's fair.

411
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: He goes, I've got a little ADHD two. He's joking around.

412
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: I said, okay, so how do you know when you're

413
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: getting near that line that you don't want to step

414
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: over and hurt your team? So he said, even the

415
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: first week, I got into a little bit of back

416
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: and forth. Then remember what he was doing, Jalen Ramsey

417
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: after the long touchdown. Right, this is the product of

418
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: the game. When it's good on good, and it's good

419
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: on good consistently, that's how the game can get, especially

420
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: when nobody wants to lose, even myself. So as far

421
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: as being more emotionally aware in those situations, when I

422
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: was a young player, I remember vividly in Green Bay

423
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: when I scored a touchdown late in the game, I

424
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: took my helmet off, I got a flag. As far

425
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: as being a young player and now being an older player,

426
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns are gonna happen, catchers are gonna happen. I'm a receiver.

427
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: That's supposed to happen. I expect success now because of

428
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: my work ethic, but at this point being emotionally aware

429
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: going against guys and going into a little bit of

430
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: back and forth, understanding in those moments they'll be aggressive

431
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: as far as the dB is concerned. So then I

432
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: said to him, after Rasul Douglas threw you down, as

433
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: our MSG viewers are watching right now, after the touchdown,

434
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: I said, is that different than trash talking? Because that's

435
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: a guy who looked ticked that he gave up the

436
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: touchdown and even after you caught it, he rolled it

437
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: to the ground because he was frustrated. And he said, yeah,

438
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, it's different because that's not in the

439
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: nature of the game. He said for me, the play

440
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: before that I had fumbled, we had a little scuffle

441
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: underneath the pile. He kind of pulled my finger a

442
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: little bit, and I was like, what the hell is that?

443
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: So it was like dang. So we got into a

444
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: back and forth and then as my quarterback knows, my

445
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: quarterback gets aggressive when stuff like that happens. So he

446
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: came right to me the very next place. So in

447
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: that moment, as far as I said, being emotionally aware,

448
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: you'll get aggressive because guys are mad and guys are

449
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: going back and forth. If you argue with somebody, you

450
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: get a little aggressive. So understand they're playing a game,

451
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: but don't lose your game. Rise to the occasion. But

452
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: then we saw Gabe getting a flag because Alexander was

453
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: chirping in his ear, and he does the here's your

454
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: curricular stuff. Now here's the last part that I want

455
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: to get your opinion on, because he said, Look, I

456
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: don't want to insult anybody that works in a cubicle,

457
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: he said, but where we live is in a very

458
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: hostile environment. We're grown men, and in this grown men's sport,

459
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: my job is to take food off your plate. So

460
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: it creates a hostile environment when things are going to

461
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: take place. So I'm a fan perspective. They're gonna say, oh,

462
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: they don't need to do that, they're too good of

463
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: a team. But when you battle, he argues that sometimes

464
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: some of this stuff's gonna happen. Absolutely, Okay, I just

465
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on that, having been in

466
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: that cauldron on a weekly base, and I'll say what guys,

467
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: and it looked to me like and I said, this earlier,

468
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: it looked to me like the Packers are a very

469
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: frustrated team, very frustrated, and they can see a good season,

470
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: or what they thought might be a good season slipping away.

471
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: They aren't good enough, and they were good enough last

472
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: year when thirteen games to go to the playoffs. They

473
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: got the MVP raigning two time MVP, and they got

474
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: nothing going on. They are frustrated, and it's coming out

475
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: in their in their words. And there's John and in

476
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: the chippiness on the field. You got a guy snapping

477
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: on the sidelines over nothing, over nothing, a tackle out

478
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: of bounds on his college teammate. You got guys, John.

479
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: You got guys pushing guys into the ground on a fumble,

480
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: peeling their fingers off and all that. And I know

481
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: in a pile where there's a loose ball, just about

482
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: anything goes. You got guys tackling a guy after he

483
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: gets rolls over with a touchdown grab then going down

484
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: on him and pull him in and push him out

485
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: of the end zone. That is the sign of a

486
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: really frustrated team. And I think the chirping is the

487
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: same thing. They are frustrated and know they are not

488
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: the team they were just twelve months ago. They are

489
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: not even near it, and they're frustrated by it. So

490
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: and here's another thing. The Bills in response, they are

491
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: that guy, and if you want to come get it,

492
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: get Steph Diggs, Josh all those guys. They're like, going,

493
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: no way, we're not putting up with it. So you're

494
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: gonna get some extracurricular stuff. You're not gonna and you'll

495
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: get under some guy's skin where a guy, even a

496
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: guy like Gabe Davis will give you an extra thing,

497
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, extra shoulder, and the thing get called for it.

498
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: It's you. It is hard, and in some cases it's

499
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: it's virtually impossible for these guys not to want to

500
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: get a physical altercation going because it is so frustrating

501
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: to be chipped at without the officials calling stuff. When

502
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: they're getting away with this, they're getting away with that,

503
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: they're getting away with this, they're getting away with that.

504
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: They're talking this, they're talking that, and they're down seventeen points. Yeah,

505
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you an I'm gonna give you a

506
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: shoulder in the back and put you over a pile. Right.

507
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: That's but that hurt the Bills ultimately, absolutely, fifteen yard penalty. Absolutely,

508
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: but you know what, you come out with a wind,

509
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: you do not care, right, literally do not care. In fact,

510
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: you wish you would have gotten your money's worth. How

511
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: much should we be concerned that now that this is

512
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: on tape, future opponents will say, oh, look, you can

513
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: get under the Bills skin, maybe we should try that.

514
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: How much do you can? Because Steve, we know most

515
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: of the rest of these teams on their schedule the

516
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: rest of the way, they're not good enough to hang

517
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: with the Bills on the scoreboard difference, so they could

518
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: resort they were those kinds of right and try that,

519
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: but the Bills will obviously, the Bills will get wind

520
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: of it, and no, I understand what's going on. And

521
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: I'll say another thing too, this it's different for other

522
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: teams because they don't have what the path had. You

523
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: think the Detroit Lions aren't frustrated with the way their

524
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: seasons going. They are, but their expectations aren't shattered, you know,

525
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, you know the stuff that goes on. It

526
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: happens because teams think they should be better than they

527
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: are and they're not. You know, that's when the frustration happens.

528
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: That's that's when stuff like you see the Packers do

529
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: last night, and it was the whole roster was like that. Yeah,

530
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: the whole roster was like that. So where Steph left

531
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: the conversation with me after the game? Because I said,

532
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, when you see Gabe getting caught up in

533
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: that stuff a little bit and you're getting a fifteen

534
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: yard penalty, what do you? I said, you got to

535
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: see on your chest? What do you? How do you

536
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: handle that? Because it's an intense game, it's chippy. Guys

537
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: are gonna get hot. They don't want to back down. Well,

538
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Yeah, you gotta take it right to

539
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 1: the level where the Packers are. You got to do that.

540
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: You gotta take it right to their level where they're at.

541
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: They got a guy thrown out last night. That's a

542
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: that's way. But that's put the line way up right,

543
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: because if you don't want to get up to that line,

544
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: because you might get ejected too. Yeah, yeah, not ejected,

545
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: but you might be on the fringes of getting a

546
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: penalty here and there just because you gotta match what

547
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: they're doing. You can't let them do all that stuff

548
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: extra like this thing going in the back of the

549
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: end zone where uh, you know he takes he goes

550
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: after steph you know Douglas. When Douglas comes in and

551
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: rolls him over out the back of the end zone,

552
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: that was way off. That's off. I cannot believe that

553
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: was not a penalty. I cannot believe that was not

554
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: a penalty. But it wasn't. So now it's like, okay,

555
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: we gotta match that, and everybody on the and the

556
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: roster and the receiving corn everybody's like, okay, that's the

557
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: line is now up here. Let's go. So you're gonna

558
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: have guys mackenzie jump in to keep him away from

559
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: Douglas because he knows he's gonna do something that's right.

560
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: That's when the line goes up. So it's like, we

561
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: gotta match it, and we gotta you know, and that's

562
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: when it becomes a little gray area because if the

563
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: official is not gonna call that, we gotta go as

564
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: far as he won't call it, and that means once

565
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: in a while you're gonna get a little bit over it. Right.

566
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: So that's where that game was, and that to me,

567
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: because we've seen the personality of the Bills, that's the

568
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: Packers not the Bills. That the Packers are team whose

569
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: season has left without a forwarding address. The Bills might

570
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: be playing another team whose season is left too. They

571
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: might take in the Jets. They might And I just

572
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be surprised if the Jets see that

573
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: on tape and say, hey, may not hurt to try

574
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: some of this. Maybe you can get Digs thrown out

575
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: of the game. Maybe we can get Davis thrown out

576
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: of the game. Maybe you know, you can't go in

577
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: thinking that as a team. I mean, the Jets have

578
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: to hope for they're twelve and a half point underdogs

579
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: at home. I could see a team trying this crap. Really, No,

580
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: that's what happened now, because you're you know, you've got

581
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: to have more confidence than that. Even the Jets too,

582
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 1: they've won some games, don't They're they're feel like they

583
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: can beat people if they play their game, and they

584
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: should because they have, So I get that. What you're saying,

585
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: you see some stuff on tape. No, what they see

586
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: on tape is the Bills responding to what the Packers are.

587
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: In my opinion, okay, in my opinion, I'm just they've

588
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: seen enough because that that'll be one game out of

589
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: the nine that the six that they watch the seven

590
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: and they watch, they would see this Packer game got

591
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: up because the Packers are so yeah, that's not that's

592
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: not who the Bills are. But they will say this,

593
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: they'll say, listen, if we do that, their match it

594
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: steps Diggs was follow them down the tunnel. John at

595
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: them before the game like there's no there is no

596
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: give in whatever you want to bring to the table

597
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: for the Bills. And that is just like one more

598
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: aspect of if you want to try and throw on them,

599
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: the Bills have got a defense before you want to

600
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 1: try and run on the Bills and do this. If

601
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna try and do this, the Bills will do that.

602
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: They've got a response, and the Bills are not going

603
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: to back down to a chirping match, which is what

604
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: that was last night. All Right, Fairy, I get what's frying,

605
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't think so. All Right, we take

606
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, we'll get to your

607
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: phone call end some of your comments on the tweet

608
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: cheat your biggest takeaways from the Bill's ten point win

609
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: yesterday over the Packers, too improved to six and one

610
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This

611
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Stevie Johnson, the Legend of the Game,

612
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: had him in studio before the game last week and

613
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: uh did not disappoint. Even had a little writing on

614
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: his shirt under his jersey, a little why so serious action?

615
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: Which Bills fans have been around that long? I gotta

616
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: remember all too well. It's so funny because you know,

617
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: the start of the game is always great, right, Stevie

618
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: did a great job. Legend of the Games become an institution.

619
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm noticing now. Maybe it's because

620
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh like the ninety eight yard touchdown on

621
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: the fourth play of the game. People are there early

622
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: that place, that joint is packed before kickoff. Yeah, there

623
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: are no fashionably late. Nobody's fashionably late anymore. Maybe that

624
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game like sealed it because it was that way

625
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: on the Monday night game, the opening Sunday night game

626
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: against Tennessee too, and people are there. They are in

627
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: their seats and maybe they weren't like maybe for the

628
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game. But I'm telling you what, people are showing

629
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: up on time for Bills games. These days because they

630
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: were they're gonna miss something. Yeah, that ninety eight yard

631
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: shot to Gabe Davis on the fourth play was just

632
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: against the Steeler. Yeah, it was just so now everybody

633
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: just see it. All the corners are full, you know

634
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: what I mean? Did you notice that? Um? Yeah, it was.

635
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: It was full. It was full. It's also a primetime game,

636
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: people waiting all day for it. So I think there's

637
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: a little more answer to get into here and get

638
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: to the game and I get sit down and get ready.

639
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: So place look great too, stadium will shine, I mean

640
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: the lights out for the player introductions, charging buffalo, you know, smoke.

641
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: Everything was nice, Yeah, very nice. All right, let's go

642
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: to the phones though at eight oh three five fifty

643
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two, five fifty where

644
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: we want to get some of your biggest takeaways from

645
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: the performance yesterday ten point victory over Green Bay, and

646
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: we lead off today with Kevin in Hamburg. Kevin, what

647
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: do you got for us? Ye? All one bills live, gys,

648
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Thanks for taking my call? Sure?

649
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: The being always talk about is you were talking about

650
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: the chimminess and the Packers and all that. I think

651
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: it's because for the first time in a long time,

652
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: and I don't remember the Packers being this bad mean

653
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: a long time, and then they're becoming I wouldn't see

654
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: the whole future, but what they were between Brett Farve

655
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: and Bart Star for those years is the last time

656
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: the Packers were really this bad, that main parts of

657
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: the season, between those big legends of Brett Fire, Bart Star,

658
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: Hung Gred, Vinci LOBARTI those twenty years. Yeah, I don't

659
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: know if I'm ready to go quite back to the

660
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: Lynn Dickey days or Don Matchikowski, but there, Look, they're

661
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: in a bad spot right now, and I don't know

662
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: that they have a head coach who exudes the kind

663
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: of leadership necessary to pull them out of the hole

664
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: they're in right now. There are a lot of young

665
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: talented play calling head coaches in this league. Cliff Kingsbury,

666
00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, Matt Lafleur, even the guy Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota,

667
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: a lot of young talented offensive play callers. I don't

668
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: know if any of those four guys pass the smell

669
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: test for true head coaching leadership qualities. We'll see, But

670
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: I know when the Cardinals went in had a losing streak.

671
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: Last year, they won a playoff game, but they never

672
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: really pulled themselves out of it. I'm very interested to

673
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: see for the first time in Matt Lafleur's tenure with

674
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: the Packers, his team's on a four game losing streak.

675
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: Is he going to be able to exude the kind

676
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: of leadership necessary to pull them out of it? Because

677
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: that roster is chuck full of talent. You got seven

678
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: first round draft choices on their defense, are you kidding me? Yeah?

679
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: They played well. I thought their defense played really well.

680
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: Got to give him some credit. Out in the second half,

681
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of took a deep breath, and I

682
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: think they took their foot off the gas, at least emotionally.

683
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: I think their play calling was still the same. I

684
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: think their schemes were fine, you know, doing all that.

685
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: I just think the players themselves didn't have the emotional

686
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: content they did in the first half, and they just

687
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: scored three points in the second half. That's just not

688
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: good enough. But I'm kind of I'm with you, Brownie.

689
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: I think this is a time when a head coach,

690
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: if you want to write the ship, you better be

691
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: the one with your hand on the wheel. And in

692
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: Green Bay, it looks like their quarterback has his hand

693
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 1: on the wheel, you know. In in Arizona, it looks

694
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: like their quarterback is, you know, bouncing up and down

695
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: in the back of the car. Right, I mean, their

696
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: their quarterback doesn't seem like he's on board. They were

697
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: having some, they had some. He's a finger pointer, Yeah,

698
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: he's exactly. He's a Yeah, he's a finger pointer exactly.

699
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: And he's and he's a guy who's kind of doing

700
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: and he doesn't seem totally emotionally engaged in the game. Yeah,

701
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: when he's not on the field. Cincinnati, it's caught lightning

702
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: in a bottle with Zach Taylor last year. Now this

703
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: is his fourth or fifth year, and he's he's kind

704
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: of been there, but Cincinnati for catching lightning in a bottle.

705
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is hurt. Now they're going through a little

706
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: of adversity. He's gonna be out a while, right, They've

707
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: got some questions. They need somebody there that those players

708
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: can push against. And he won't move. Uh. It's moments

709
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: like this when you've got if you've got the right guy,

710
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: he shows up. Yeah. So and Robert Sala the same thing.

711
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: They kind of got it going on. They had a

712
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: little action now and now they dropped a couple. Now

713
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: they okay, now what? So that's where it falls. I

714
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: believe on the head coach McDermott has always and his

715
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: staff have always been solid as a rock for these

716
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: players to be able to lean on. And they're standing

717
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: there strong so they can be leaked on. You can

718
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: go back. You can go back to twenty seventeen. They

719
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: lose three straight in November and get annihilated in two

720
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: of the three games, and they come back turning around

721
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: and actually qualify for the playoffs with a little help, granted,

722
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: but that's what you want to see out of a

723
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: head coach like Matt Laflour. This is the first time

724
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: he's really being tested in the adversity department as a leader.

725
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: How does he handle it? Because I'll tell you a

726
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 1: guy who sounded just like Kyler Murray yesterday. It was

727
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: Jyre Alexander saying I finished the game when he was

728
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: asked about dig saying, I don't know who started it,

729
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: but I finished it because I got the win. Jaire Alexanders,

730
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: When I finished it? Why because you got an interception?

731
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: You had the last big play between the two of you,

732
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: so you thought you finished it. You didn't win the game.

733
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: You lost by ten, and then you got Aaron Rodgers

734
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: with AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones on the bench with

735
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: three forty four left after you just came off the field.

736
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: You're clearly not going to win the game because you're

737
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: only gonna get one more possession. They're laughing over there,

738
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: yucking it up. Yeah, they were. They were chuckling about

739
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: something and it wasn't a really happy point in the

740
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: game for them. You're about to lose your fourth game

741
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: in a row. What are you doing over there? Bad

742
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: look man, bad optics. So be interesting to see what

743
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: La Flour can come up with from a leadership perspective

744
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: to get that turned around, because if they don't, they're

745
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: they're going right in the toilet real quick. Their scene

746
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: is going to be over right. We have to take

747
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: a break here. We'll take more of your phone calls

748
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: in a little bit, but we have to step aside

749
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: to pay some bills. We'll be back in a second

750
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Live. All right. Welcome to the

751
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: Lunch Break, presented by Snapdragon, the official Apple of the

752
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Snapdragon was handing out apples on the Billivard

753
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: last night before the game. I think just about everybody

754
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 1: has tried one of these things at this point. They're

755
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: they're good. I gotta say, they're really good. They gave

756
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: us we got something we gotta plate. Yeah, perfect Halloween snack.

757
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: Caramel apple they got. Yeah, they they got these things

758
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: that chunk the apple and you'd deplice it. You dip

759
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: it into caramels, So a caramel apple instead of having

760
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: it on a stick, you just dip a slice of

832
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: I came over like but I came over like one

833
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: so I could catch the early games within peace without

834
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: having the traffic it right, So I did that. So

835
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: I watched the first half of the one o'clock games

836
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: and then I take them around him. I had some

837
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: I had pre planned some stops that we made for them,

838
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: and then we had a place where we could go,

839
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: a tailgate we could go and kind of off quiet

840
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: and regular one that I go to. And then then

841
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: I took him over to Jim's Jim Kelly, so I

842
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: told him I was bringing some guys by. He was,

843
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: Jim was great, Darryl Talley was there, DT was there.

844
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: So they took pictures and it was like off the chain.

845
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: It was great. They loved it. And then and then

846
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: they tooled into the game. But it was Listen, we

847
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: all know that on game day, a night game in Buffalo,

848

860
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: Went to Syracuse, Notre Dame. Yeah, a full weekend, went

862
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: Raptors game tonight up in turn. Oh my gosh, I know, right,

863
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: living the life of Riley over here. That's something else.

864
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: So that's good stuff. Let's get back to you on

865
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: the phone line today three five fifty we check in

866
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: with Michael and Georgia. What do you got for us? Michael, Hey, Jentlean,

867
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: good to talk to you. So I was listening to

868
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about with the back and forth and all

869
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: that stuff that was going on with these guys, and

870
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, Okay, I've got I've got friends that our

871
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: attorneys and I I've been in court when they've been

872
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: in court, and I see you guys don't get emotional

873
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: it says, no, that's on TV. If you get emotional,

874
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: you lose your edge. And I'm wondering if that was

875
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: in part of what happened in the second half, because

876
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: the offense, you know, it just seemed out to sink,

877
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: even when generally it's it's Alan too gigs and you know,

878
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: passes are right on the money and it short passes

879
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: their way over his head. And this is that it

880
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: seemed like these guys were out of sink. And I'm

881
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: wondering as that if you know, with all the offensive

882
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: players that are you know, not align them basically, but

883
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: with other receivers and with Josh, if said had something

884
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: to do with that chemistry being off as they allowed

885
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: them they get in their head and really messed them

886
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: up in the second half. Yeah, it's a it's a

887
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: valid question, Michael. I want to say this, Steve. I

888
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: think if I take anything away from all of the

889
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: chippiness and what the result of it was, particularly in

890
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: the second half when the Bills offense kind of stalled

891
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: a little bit, do you think that the focus shifted

892
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: from making the next play on the next down to

893
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: showing up jayear Alexander, do you think it drifted into

894
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: that area a little bit. I don't know that it

895
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: was specifically jayear Alexander, he was public enemy number one

896
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: of the offense. It might have been. It might have

897
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: been something they said, Okay, if that's if they're gonna

898
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: do that, we're gonna rub their face in it. Yeah,

899
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: and that because I think Josh's two picks were him, Yeah,

900
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen trying to win it all in one play,

901
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: You're trying to do that. So there might have been

902
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: a little of that, And that would speak to your

903
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: point earlier about would teams think they can get an

904
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: edge and they can get you off your game and yeah,

905
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: they would pull your focus. Well, here's the thing, if

906
00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: even for a moment the Bills players and would sense

907
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: that that's what they're trying to do, it would backfire

908
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: big time on the other team. Backfire big time because

909
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: then the Bills like, ah, I got oh, you know

910
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, they would see all of a sudden,

911
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: you know what their plan is and you're and that

912
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 1: would totally totally sabotage their ability to get that done,

913
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So as soon as the

914
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: Bills would think that that might be part of their

915
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: plan or the word about that got out. You know,

916
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: you're just like, come on, if that's what they got

917
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: to resort to, let's go. So I think that everything

918
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: has a everything has a yang and a yang. Right,

919
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: But he's right. I think he's right. Michael's right. I

920
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: think it might have stoked the problems that they had

921
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: in the second half by trying to say, all right,

922
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: let's let's come on, we got they knew they had

923
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: him in the first half. Up, let's let's shut them up. Right.

924
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: That's to me, that's pulling your focus away. Absolutely, task

925
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: at hand. Absolutely, that was the concern that I had

926
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,439
Speaker 1: based on what I was observing there in the second

927
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: half of the football game. All Right, we gotta take

928
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: a break because when we come back, it's our weekly

929
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: visit from Resident Bills Mafia member and NFL Network analyst

930
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson. He checks in with us after this break

931
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live presented by Clida Health. It's

932
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio is One Bills Live presented by Cold

933
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: to Health. Our number two on a Buffalo victory Monday.

934
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: And you know what that means. That means we're going

935
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: to be joined by a resident member of the Bills Mafia,

936
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst and you can follow him at real

937
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: Mike rob It is Michael Robinson joining us who was

938
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: tweeting quite a bit last night. And I'll get to

939
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: my favorite tweeting yours in just a minute. But how

940
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: are we doing, Mike doing excellent? Man. I can get

941
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: used to these victory mondays, Man, Yes, I can. So.

942
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: Among the tweets that you had, you addressed the young

943
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: safeties that were in the game. At the end. Player

944
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: gets hurt and after the game he said he fell

945
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: to pop in his elbow, same elbow he hurt in

946
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: training camp. So there's some concern about his future availability,

947
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: so as Jaquan Johnson and Tamar Hamlin the rest of

948
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: the way and maybe for the immediate future. And you tweeted,

949
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: come on, young safety, keep your eyes on your luggage.

950
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: What are you getting at when you say that? Well again,

951
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: and I was going to talk about this today anyway,

952
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: those guys. But first of all, those guys are playing well. Okay,

953
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: they're playing well, but they did give up some plays

954
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: on the back end just because of all the motions

955
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: and shifts that the Green Bay Office offense does for you.

956
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: With that run game, with those vertical routes, it does

957
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: put the safeties in a compromising situation, so they have

958
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: to have their eyes in the right places. And I

959
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: thought on one of those touchdowns that I mean one

960
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: of those long plays, I think it was the Romeo Dobbs,

961
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: that one of our safeties hambling. Yeah, he didn't have

962
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: his he didn't have his eyes on the right place.

963
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 1: And if his eyes would have been in the right place,

964
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: I think he would have made the play. But these

965
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,479
Speaker 1: are the only thing that concerned me about last night's

966
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: When is the run game right? And people have to

967
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: understand that when you're playing like a team that you're

968
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: playing modern offenses in the National Football League, a lot

969
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: of times you're playing with the two safeties high and

970
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: you're letting those safeties identify when this run and trigger

971
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: to come down in the box and be that extra

972
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: guy when there's a run. Playing with all the motions

973
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: and shifts. Again, it's tough, right with the play action,

974
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: with the inventive, with the innovations that these offenses have.

975
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: But I'm glad that our young safeties are getting these

976
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: reps now instead of later on in the season. Win Again,

977
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: those reps are gonna mean a little bit more. Does

978
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,280
Speaker 1: it mean anything to you? And because I thought, really

979
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: the pack we were surprising we're talking about it, that

980
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: they just continued to run the ball deep into the

981
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: second half when they were down seventeen and really kind

982
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: of stole their own opportunity to get enough possessions to

983
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: get back in the game. And I thought the game

984
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: was effectively over when the Bills stopped him on downs

985
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: on the fourth and short when they had a chance

986
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: to do it, and that was basically the end of

987
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: the game because the time was just not going to

988
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: be there for him to score three times. What did

989
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: you think about that strategy? Did you question it or

990
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: or did you agree with it? Well? I will say

991
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 1: I agree with it because again, the Green Bay Packers

992
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: team in general, they're struggling, right. They don't have enough

993
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 1: playmakers on the outside. The offensive line is broken. They

994
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: can't block five US one on one at any time,

995
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: and so Aaron Rodgers he doesn't trust the guys on

996
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 1: the outside, he doesn't trust the protection. And so when

997
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: you look at it, the only way to move the

998
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 1: ball was to run the football, especially knowing that Leslie

999
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: Frasier was going to keep two safeties high. That young

1000
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: safety was in there to help the passing because they

1001
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: were down. So the explosive players had to come from

1002
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 1: the run game. But again, when the Green Bay Packers,

1003
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: they have to play a play a certain game if

1004
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: they want to be able to win it, especially going

1005
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: up against his high powered offense with the Buffalo Bills. Again,

1006
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: that the run game or the run defense does concern

1007
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: me when you get in those types of games. But

1008
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: if we're scoring, if we're scoring points offensively, usually you'll

1009
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: talk teams out of running the football. Did you realize

1010
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: or think about it that even with the run game

1011
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: going the way it was for the Green Bay Packers,

1012
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: I mean they were making some Hey, Leslie Frasier refused

1013
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: to go three linebackers and stayed in Nickel. I mean

1014
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: they are you can't get them out of that defense. Now,

1015
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 1: look my mom and Toron Johnson he is he's a dog, now, okay,

1016
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: he get in there in between the tackles. He's making tackles,

1017
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, in the backfield, behind the line of scrimmage,

1018
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: along with covering, along with adjusting the motions and things

1019
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: like that. So I get it. But at the end,

1020
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: of the day. Just like you just said before, the

1021
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: strategy of running the football, you're only going to get

1022
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: but so many explosive plays, and it's kind of like

1023
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: it's a slow moving type of a process. It's not

1024
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback like a Lamar Jackson,

1025
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: where you can get an explosive almost any time you're

1026
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: running the football. So I agree with both both coordinators.

1027
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: I agree with Green Bay did because that's how they

1028
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: can get their explosive plays. But I also agree with

1029
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier. He was defending against the past, yet with

1030
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: the mindset of defending the run as well. Speaking of

1031
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: the run game, let's flip it around to the Bills

1032
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: run game because Week six against Kansas City, we saw

1033
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: them being asked to run by the Chiefs defense and

1034
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: they did it, getting good chunk plays from Singletary. They

1035
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: had a hundred yards on the board at halftime against

1036
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in a ten ten game last night, they

1037
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: go three and out on the first possession, they come back,

1038
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: they run the ball five times in a row, yes,

1039
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: and then Josh scrambles. They run it again, and then

1040
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: Josh Taus is a little flare to Dawson Knox touchdown.

1041
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: They averaged eight point two in the first half. Mike, like,

1042
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: you could call Week six or one off, but I

1043
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 1: don't know if you can. Now. Is this run game

1044
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: kind of getting some steam. I'm not saying they're gonna

1045
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: be a balanced offense. I'm not saying that. But we've

1046
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: said all season, we've talked to you about this almost

1047
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis, that it's got to be at

1048
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: least effective enough as something to turn to when you

1049
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: need it. Are we seeing progress on that front? Yes? Yes,

1050
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey man, hey may love you, Bro. I know

1051
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: you watched the show I Love You Bro. We went

1052
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: to college at the same time. We played against each other.

1053
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: It's all good. You beat us when I went to

1054
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: Penn State. You know what I mean. But it's all good.

1055
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: I thought Ken Dorsey was in his bag last night. Oh,

1056
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: the first of all, Devia Secretary. He has degluted his

1057
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: offer to me. He is the times in the games

1058
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: where he makes his plays, whether it's in the run

1059
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: game or check down in the passing game. I mean,

1060
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any bigger catches or any

1061
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,479
Speaker 1: bigger runs of any offense other than the Devin Singles

1062
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: So to me, he is the glue. And people have

1063
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: to understand. Teams are gonna defend Josh Allen in this

1064
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: passing game first, so they're gonna play with two safeties high.

1065
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna have five or six minute in the box,

1066
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: and they're gonna dare the Buffalo Bills to continue to

1067
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: run the football. And I want all the Bills Mafia.

1068
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: I want Bills Mafia to think about this. When numbers

1069
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: sixty eight Bobby Hart comes in the game, we gotta

1070
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: get a chant going for that dude, right, especially when

1071
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: we're playing those three four teams and things like that.

1072
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: They single him on those outside linebackers, right, and they

1073
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: which allows for more double teams in the run game.

1074
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: So our Devin Singletary and guys and James Cooking, those

1075
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: guys can go and do work. I love with Ken Dorsey.

1076
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: And in the running game that Ken Dorsey call last night,

1077
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: it was beautiful. Yeah, And I thought you're right. They

1078
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: went to a heavy old line a couple of times

1079
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: and it really seem to open up that run game.

1080
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Hart coming in going ineligible receiver or eligible receiver,

1081
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: he was like a second tight end. Yeah, twelfth personnel. Yeah,

1082
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: so that absolutely, and that seems to be something that

1083
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, they did, no question, they had a plan

1084
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: for it. It It was planned going in and it really

1085
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: seemed to work to perfection. Yes, it did work to perfection.

1086
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: And again, especially when you're dealing with those thick outside backers,

1087
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: those guys that you know can become a problem for

1088
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: a smaller tight end or a tight end that just

1089
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have the girth of some of those big guys.

1090
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,919
Speaker 1: It reminds me of how we won our Super Bowl

1091
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: with the Seattle Seahawks and twenty after the twenty thirteen season,

1092
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: we literally when we played that Denver Broncos team, we

1093
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: had a heavy offensive, We brought in an extra offensive linemen,

1094
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: we put him as a wing, and we just ran

1095
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: double teams right down there throat. I think Ken Dorsey

1096
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: picked the right time, in the right game to put

1097
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: it on tape, because again, we got some some big

1098
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: games come up, especially the Jets coming up, where those

1099
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: double teams and those heavy, those heavy personnels. You want

1100
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: to talk that too safety high. Look, you want to

1101
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: talk that safety back into the box so you can

1102
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: be explosive in the passing game. Mike Were you surprised

1103
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: that here Alexander did not follow Steph Diggs last night?

1104
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: He had each of the last two games. He did

1105
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: it against the Jets, against Garrett Wilson, did it against Washington,

1106
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: against Terry McLaurin. Prior to that, he had pretty much

1107
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: stayed on his side at right corner in the first

1108
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: five games of the Packers, but they had there was

1109
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: a trend building there. Were you surprised he wasn't asked

1110
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: to follow Stefan the whole game? No, I was not surprised, because, again,

1111
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: Stefan gets a lot of targets, he gets a lot

1112
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: of passes, he gets a lot of yards, a lot

1113
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: of those things. But he's not always the guy featured

1114
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: in the route concept. Sometimes he's just a guy that's

1115
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: just running a flat and he's an outlet for Josh Allen,

1116
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen throws it to him. But he has

1117
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: so much wigglings, so much, so much twitch that he

1118
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: gets ten or twelve yards. That's what makes Stefan Diggs

1119
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: really so special, right, But when you have a Gabe Davis,

1120
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: when you have some of the other receivers and Dawson

1121
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: knocks and the tight end with Devin secretary with the underneath.

1122
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta be able to play zone. Sometimes you

1123
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: gotta be able to use that chess piece, that defensive

1124
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: back and put him in other areas. You see, he

1125
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: got some interceptions, he got some things like that. But

1126
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the more thing I

1127
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: was surprised that is the fact that with that weak

1128
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: unnecessary roughness called that they called on Gabe David. That

1129
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: was so weak they would not have called that five

1130
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: years ago, but they called it now. You see what

1131
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I was surprised, Jaire Alexander didn't fight back. Yeah,

1132
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,919
Speaker 1: it's interesting too, because it game did get The game

1133
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: did seem a little chippy, and it's not been something

1134
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the Bills have been the Bills due too much of

1135
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: and these two teams don't see each other often enough

1136
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: to have like some sort of you know, feud going.

1137
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: It struck me, and I don't know. I don't want

1138
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: to speak for the Packers, I don't want, but it

1139
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: struck me. The Packers seemed like they were really a

1140
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,439
Speaker 1: frustrated team watching their season go down the tubes. After

1141
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: winning thirteen games for three straight years. They're not very

1142
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: good this year, and I think their frustration kind of

1143
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: boils over a little bit in that chippiness last night. Yeah,

1144
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: I think it was. And we got we can't we

1145
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: can't forgette. Steph Diggs used to play up in the

1146
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: in the you know, NFC North, so he has he

1147
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: has some games against some of those guys. So I

1148
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: can see the chippiness with the wide receivers and defensive backs.

1149
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: But I think when you saw Aaron Rodgers at the

1150
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: podium at the end of the game, when you just

1151
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: watch the body language of this team. Um, first of all,

1152
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: I'd say, be careful what you asked for Aaron Rodgers.

1153
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: Last week you said this was probably the game for

1154
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't. This was the game that proved

1155
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: to you that the national media was right, that you

1156
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't have let Davante Adams walk up out of the door.

1157
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: That you I mean, you had a good thing going.

1158
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: You just won twenty six games or whatever over the

1159
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: last couple of seasons with two MVP showings, and now

1160
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: you let all the drama of the off season happen.

1161
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: You go hav An Awakening with your a, your cossa

1162
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: and all those things, and you come back to this.

1163
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Davante Adams left because Aaron Rodgers was, you know,

1164
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: was skeptical about his future. You know what I'm saying.

1165
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, I think, um, yeah,

1166
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right. It was a realization of

1167
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers that, yeah, we aren't that good

1168
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: and if we want to if we want to fight

1169
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: to be relevant in this year's playoffs, we better do

1170
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: something before the Mars trade deadline. All right, quickly, Mike,

1171
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: before we let you go. Bill's Jets, just your early

1172
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: thoughts here. Jets are a top ten defense now. Their

1173
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: defensive front is pretty dangn good, but the engine of

1174
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: their offense is gone now from with Bruce Hall out

1175
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: for the season, Zach Wilson is struggling. There's calls for

1176
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: putting Joe Flacco or Mike White in instead. Just your

1177
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 1: early inklings about this one. They're gonna run the football.

1178
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,959
Speaker 1: If I know Robert Salo, like I know Robert Salo,

1179
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: he was with me in Seattle and then you know,

1180
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: obviously I got all my connections with the San Francisco

1181
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: for the nine Ers. He was a defensive coordinator there.

1182
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: If I know Robert Salo. They're gonna run the football

1183
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: and they're gonna force the Buffalo Bills to be to

1184
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: have all the assay it's in the box and then

1185
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: let the quarterback throw the ball if and only if

1186
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: it's one on one on the outside. And then offensively

1187
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: for us, the Buffalo Bills, get the ball out of

1188
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: your hands. They're gonna be They're gonna try to figure

1189
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: out a way to get some pression on Josh Allen. Again,

1190
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: it's okay to throw the football away. It's a kid.

1191
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: It's okay at times to take a sack and punt.

1192
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Just do not turn the football over, and I think

1193
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. All right, Mike, appreciate it as always.

1194
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you next week. Thanks Mike, you'd

1195
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,479
Speaker 1: be good guys. Always. All right. That's Michael Robinson joining

1196
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,479
Speaker 1: us as he does every week on Mondays after Bills games,

1197
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: or the day after Bills games if they're playing on

1198
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: a Monday, and I don't guess it would be Tuesday.

1199
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: Always good to catch up with him. I'm glad he's

1200
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,959
Speaker 1: seeing progress with the run game on the offensive side

1201
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: of the ball. We do want to get back to

1202
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: the phone though, to get your biggest takeaways from yesterday's

1203
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: ten point win over the Packers, and we continue with

1204
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: John and Buffalo. John, what do you got for us?

1205
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: You're on one bills Live. Hey, guys, thanks for having

1206
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: me on. I'd like to bring up two topics today

1207
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: if I'm main sure, number two being Bun Miller's interview.

1208
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: But before that, I want to talk about dangling mouthpieces. Now,

1209
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you ever played the game before, having

1210
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: that thing rattle up and down in front of your

1211
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: face mask is nothing but a distraction. And a lot

1212
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: of white receivers around the league, including stuff Fine Diggs,

1213
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: play the game with their mouthpiece out and bouncing all

1214
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: over the place. What's going on with that? Yeah? I

1215
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: mean hard to know. I mean they got to wear them,

1216
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: but they're not always in and they're not really they're

1217
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: not really policed on it. They're not required to wear them. Yeah, right,

1218
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: So why does he Why does he just cut off

1219
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: and stick it inside his cage and I put it

1220
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: in his mouth when he wants to instead of letting.

1221
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: That's what the quarterbacks do because they have communicate. Well,

1222
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,959
Speaker 1: I don't know what's your second thing? Because because John,

1223
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: because nobody cares, I mean, who Steph Diggs probably doesn't

1224
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: think about it half the time. And when you're out

1225
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: there on the field, sometimes you're you're talking, you know. Um,

1226
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: it's like sometimes you just forget to put the thing in. Um.

1227
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I had one on that dangled for a while, and

1228
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: then I had because I would always lose it if

1229
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I didn't have it attached to something. Yeah, but it didn't.

1230
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: It didn't disrupt your running around with that thing boxing

1231
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: up and down. It doesn't disrupt you that much. I

1232
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't bother them. I mean, if it did

1233
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: bother them that much, they would always remember to put

1234
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,479
Speaker 1: it in because they're not bothered by it. I'm telling

1235
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: you what. The concentration level is so high that doesn't

1236
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: bother them. They don't even they don't even In fact,

1237
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, the concentration level is so high.

1238
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: And this is the truth. And this will give you

1239
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: an idea of what it's like. And I've said this too,

1240
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: and like when I cover it like opening kickoff of

1241
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: a game. When I was playing, it's the same way

1242
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: for players today. Seventy There were seventy thousand plus tickets

1243
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: distributed last night and they were loud opening kickoff, let's go.

1244
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: When you take off running and watch that ball get kicked,

1245
01:05:54,920 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: you can't hear anything. It is dead silent because your

1246
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: concentration level is so high. Everything is just absolutely silent

1247
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: because you can't hear you're not listening. And so that's

1248
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: the level of concentration I had just covering kicks, let alone,

1249
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: run on a route of intricate route against a guy

1250
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: who with technique and all that stuff. So these get

1251
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: the dangling mouthpiece. Yet that's not even not even on

1252
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: the radar. Yeah, that's that's not even on the menu

1253
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: for what he's thinking about. All right, Von Miller, what

1254
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: would you want to say about hat Well, I want

1255
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: to say Von Biller's postgame interview was one of the

1256
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 1: very best I've ever seen in any sport, and you know,

1257
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: are none. The guy's a class act. He compliments every

1258
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: one of his teammates. He's definitely a leader out there.

1259
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: He's humble, he respects the opposition. But his best line

1260
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: of the day was, in my opinion, trash talk. No,

1261
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't trash talk, and nobody does to me. We

1262
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 1: care about each other. We talk about family, we talk

1263
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: about vacations, we talk about kids during its timeouts. So

1264
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: that's old school, and in my opinion, again, that's what's

1265
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: ruining football. I don't even watch basketball anymore because of

1266
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: all the nonsense. But if we had more guys like that,

1267
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: that's a trurole model for little kids. I would agree

1268
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: with that. I would agree with that in our Brownie

1269
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: and I don't talk to Vaughan or anything, but we

1270
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: watch practice a lot, We watch him interact with his

1271
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: teammates and listen to it once in a while when

1272
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: we're that close. Yeah, he's a special dude, and his

1273
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: example is making other guys on the Bill's roster more

1274
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: special when you see and you're right, that postgame interview

1275
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: was dynamite, and the level of respect he has for

1276
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: his opponents, the love and respect he has for his

1277
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 1: teammates comes out and everything he says, why with the

1278
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: information that maybe you don't get from just everybody. So yeah,

1279
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: I would agree with you, John that, I would agree

1280
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: with you one hundred percent. Vaughn is a special guy.

1281
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: His interviews speak to it, and he is everything that

1282
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: he seems to be. Yeah, and I was trying to

1283
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 1: get his thoughts after the game on some of the

1284
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: chippiness that was going on and all the jaw jack

1285
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: and that was happening, and he said, look, we just

1286
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: try to I just try to promote positive mindset, positive mindset,

1287
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: positive self talk, you know, talk yourself up, don't criticize yourself.

1288
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:22,759
Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing he does with the teammates

1289
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. He didn't even want to kind of

1290
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: get into the trash talks stuff because that's just not

1291
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: his bag. So it is what it is. Some guys

1292
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: need that stuff to get themselves amped up. Yeah, the

1293
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: competition they're about to enter into, Von doesn't need that. Yeah, everybody,

1294
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of think everybody's different. It's a

1295
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: little old school to go into because it's not the

1296
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: same game as it was in the old school, where

1297
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: it was such a I mean literally it was a

1298
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: little bit of a bar fight mentality, and it's more

1299
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 1: professional than that now. I mean you had guys clotheslineing

1300
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 1: people and high low and guys and you know, face

1301
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: masking and all this stuff that was going on. The

1302
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: brutal hits that they took, horse scholars, horse callers, full

1303
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: body weight on the quarterback, no no, no protection at all.

1304
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: It was just a brutal game that was different, so

1305
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 1: guys kind of had to get themselves ready different way.

1306
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: But now everybody is such as the game has played

1307
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: at such a high level, right, you know, there's just

1308
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: no room for that extracurricular stuff, and it becomes like

1309
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about it today's distraction. So I think, yeah,

1310
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 1: I think it's a good a good point by you that,

1311
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, you point out where Vaughn is as one

1312
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 1: of the best players in the league. That's kind of

1313
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: where the best players in the league are. They are

1314
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: kind of above all that. Yeah, let's go back to

1315
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 1: the phones and to Kim and Angola. Kim, what do

1316
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: you got for us? You're on one Bill's life. Good afternoon, gentlemen,

1317
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Sure, I was kind of

1318
01:09:55,320 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: curious on the running game for the Packers. Is there

1319
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: every time we tried to make a tackle, we were

1320
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: tackling high and the running backs were always getting like three,

1321
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: four or five six yards extra? So why not wrap

1322
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: up the legs? Well? Yeah, I mean they didn't. Yeah,

1323
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: they did try some of that to some extent, and

1324
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: that was with limited success as well. I will say this,

1325
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: if this defensive coaching staff reviews the film today and

1326
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 1: they feel there are corrections to be made in the

1327
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: tackling department. You better believe there will be fundamental tackling

1328
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: drills at practice this week on Wednesday and Thursday. That's

1329
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: just the way this team operates. Coach McDermott is big

1330
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: on mastering the fundamentals. Tackling is one of them. So

1331
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: if they feel there was a deficiency in that area

1332
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form, it will be addressed

1333
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:53,440
Speaker 1: and wrapped in practice heavily this week to get it corrected.

1334
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: That's just the way they've operated. We've seen it before, right.

1335
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 1: Tackling is hard to practice because they're really not allowed

1336
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: to do that contact stuff anymore. And they're also not

1337
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: even allowed to tackle in the same manner that they

1338
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: used to be when like when I play back in

1339
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: the old days. Um, you know, so they can't they

1340
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,799
Speaker 1: can't really hit high like and lead with their helmet

1341
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: and stuff and use their helmet as a as a

1342
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,719
Speaker 1: battering ram to knock the guy off balance. It's that's illegal.

1343
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 1: So you're and so I've we had this conversation in

1344
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. You're left to do just

1345
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 1: a few limited things, and you're tackling. The jerseys that

1346
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: they wear are taped down to their pads, so there's

1347
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 1: nothing that's not They can't grab a handful of jersey.

1348
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 1: They also can't you know, um like well, like I said,

1349
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: tackle high, they can't grab in the horse call. They

1350
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: can't do any of that stuff. And the problem is

1351
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: they're left to try and grab whatever they can grab.

1352
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 1: And if you go low, you have to commit a

1353
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: little earlier than you do when you come you tackle high.

1354
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You have to kind of

1355
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: dive in from a little bit of distance away when

1356
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 1: you go low. Otherwise the guy's you know, you can't

1357
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: if you stand right in front of you. It's like

1358
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 1: you can't can't get down fast enough. So you have

1359
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: to commit earlier to tackling a guy low. And I'm

1360
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: we're talking split seconds here, but that's what happens. And

1361
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: you have to gather yourself and get ready and the

1362
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: runner can see what you're doing, and that little split

1363
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: second gives him a chance to either, like Josh Allen,

1364
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: jump over you, or to give you a move or

1365
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: do something. So that has its disadvantages as well. And

1366
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: what I've talked about here on the show. Is you

1367
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 1: see it all the time now to everybody, and I

1368
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 1: don't mean just the Bills last night against the Green

1369
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Most teams are tackling running backs high because

1370
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: they want to try and pry the ball out and

1371
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: punch it out. That's the currency of run tackling in

1372
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 1: the current NFL. It's punching the ball out, tackling them high,

1373
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: getting some help. And while they're trying to pry the

1374
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 1: ball out, the guy's offensive linemen are coming in trying

1375
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: to push him forward. We've all seen it a million

1376
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: times now. That's where the league is at right now.

1377
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: Break time for us here, but time for more of

1378
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: your phone calls when we come back, as well as

1379
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: around the locker room. Stay tuned both of those things

1380
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: coming your way next here on One Bill's Live, presented

1381
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

1382
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live. Time for us to

1383
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: go around the locker room, presented by connect Life, your

1384
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 1: blood and organ donor network, and we begin with Josh Allen,

1385
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 1: who addressed Stefan Digg's demeanor throughout the course of Sunday's

1386
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: game against the Packers. That's Steph, and he shows up

1387
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 1: and shows out every single game, and you know, we're

1388
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 1: lucky to have him, the type of leader that he is,

1389
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: the energy that he brings to our sideline at second

1390
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: to none. So obviously there's there's times where we don't

1391
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: need it um, but again I think it's it's always

1392
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: a positive one. You know, you have to tell guys

1393
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: to come down instead of to hype up. Yeah, I

1394
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,759
Speaker 1: asked Josh, you know, did you have to peel Stefan

1395
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 1: off the ceiling at the beginning of the game. I mean,

1396
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: you see him screaming down the tunnel with the Packers coming.

1397
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect. Yeah, there's a lot

1398
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:32,719
Speaker 1: in there, and Steph and Jayra Alexander have a little

1399
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:37,799
Speaker 1: bit of a history, but it's not like Steph hasn't

1400
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: had games against him in his career versus the Packers.

1401
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:45,440
Speaker 1: When the Packers had Jayra Alexander, he had nine receptions

1402
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: one game for one hundred and twenty yards twenty eight

1403
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 1: yards and two tds, eight receptions for seventy seven in

1404
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 1: a TD, one reception for forty nine in a TD,

1405
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,799
Speaker 1: three receptions fifty seven yards and a TD, six receptions

1406
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: and one hundred and eight and a TD. He hasn't

1407
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: had a game against him without a to down. Broke

1408
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 1: Randy Moss's records for most consecutive games against the Packers

1409
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 1: with a touchdown with its. He's up to eight now.

1410
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: He was tied with Randy Moss seven straight games against

1411
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: the Packers with a touchdown. Now it's eight. After last

1412
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: night's game, von Miller, as you heard, addressed the Packers'

1413
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: lack of interest in passing. At the end of the game,

1414
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: when they were down seventeen points with limited time left

1415
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: on the clock to support four more possessions, they decided

1416
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: to run the ball and matriculate their way down the field.

1417
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: Here's von Miller expressing his surprise to that approach. I

1418
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: don't know, I was, I was. I was taken back

1419
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: a little bit because I'm like, hey, I got passed

1420
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: the ball, don't y'all like, you know, that's just me.

1421
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: You know, of course I want to get sacks and

1422
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: I want to rest the pass and I don't want

1423
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: to do all this stuff. So I was like, Okay,

1424
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:52,639
Speaker 1: they gotta start passing the ball, and gotta start passing

1425
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: the ball. But Nope, they just they just kept on running.

1426
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 1: I even ask him. I even asked Aaron Rodgers, like

1427
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: only fourth and one. I was like, eight, you're not

1428
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna drop back and ask the ball. You know, I'm

1429
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you what he say because that's my guy.

1430
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, get anything started. But

1431
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, I was I was just you know, I

1432
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,640
Speaker 1: was just it. It was. It was a shocker for

1433
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 1: me personally, a shocker for him personally. That guy's seen

1434
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,440
Speaker 1: a lot of football. It was a shocker for everybody.

1435
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't get it. That's not who they are.

1436
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: If you've got guys out there, these rookies, I don't

1437
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: know who they are. They got Sammy Watkins out there

1438
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, that's a guy with some veteran experience.

1439
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: He's been there for a couple of weeks. You've got

1440
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: to have some plays where you can dial him up. Now.

1441
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: I get it too. They had some concerns on their

1442
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: offensive line and the Bills pass rush is no joke.

1443
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: But you've got to ask your players to do what

1444
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna take to win the game and give them

1445
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: a better chance than what they were giving him. Just

1446
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,799
Speaker 1: for handing the ball up. And I know AJ Dillon

1447
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 1: and the other guy are really good. Aaron Jones are

1448
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 1: really good backs, and they showed it last night, really good,

1449
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,919
Speaker 1: real good running backs. I get it. They're an impressive

1450
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: run game, but they didn't have the time to play

1451
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 1: the game the way they played the game. And that

1452
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: goes to the headset on the side of the field.

1453
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 1: Somebody's making that call, and that to me doesn't make

1454
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: any sense and it may have costed the game. That

1455
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: is around the locker room presented by connect Life, your

1456
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 1: blood and organ donor network. We want to get back

1457
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 1: to the phones at eight o three five fifty one,

1458
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty as we want to

1459
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: get your biggest takeaways from yesterday's when we go to

1460
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 1: Kevin and Lockport next Kevin, You're all one bills live well, Hi, guys,

1461
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. I noticed at the game yesterday, Dad,

1462
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: I think it might have been on the second or

1463
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: third touchdown drive that I was seeing James Cook for

1464
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: almost that entire drive. I think it was the entire

1465
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: drive and not singletary, and I wondered I kept looking

1466
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,680
Speaker 1: for him on the Singletary on the sideline. But I

1467
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: wonder if that was indicative some of the analysts that

1468
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: were saying early on in the year that list is

1469
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: about the time of year you might see a high,

1470
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: high draft pick, you know, make his mark on the team.

1471
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: You know, they start to maybe fuel their oats a

1472
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: little bit. Would you agree with that or was that just,

1473
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, just something that was called up. Thank you?

1474
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 1: I think I think it seems I think James Cook

1475
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: has earned his way on the field. I think it

1476
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 1: it's taken a little longer than maybe some people thought.

1477
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 1: I think Devin Singletary's play has made it take a

1478
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: little longer than that. I think maybe James Cook, you

1479
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: could say he could stumbled out of the blocks early,

1480
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: dropped a couple of passes, and he fumbled his first carry,

1481
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But steady, but slowly, but surely, steadily

1482
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 1: he has got more and more action. And you're right,

1483
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: I have noticed it as well. He got he got

1484
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: a couple of series all to himself. They left put

1485
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 1: him out there and left him in the game to

1486
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: carry the ball, to pass, block, to run the routes

1487
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, and he produced when he was

1488
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: in there. So no question they're giving him more responsibility

1489
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: and more opportunities. We could see it coming, but I

1490
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 1: think last night, no question, that was a huge step

1491
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 1: forward in his season. The Packer game was the first

1492
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: one where I saw them give him an entire series,

1493
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: and he did it a couple of times that I

1494
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 1: mean goal and the goal line first and goal too.

1495
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 1: They a couple of times where he was the back.

1496
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: And so I think depending on how he practices and

1497
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: what they think about how he's handling all that, you

1498
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: may see more of him. I think you will, because

1499
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: they're trying to give him more and more opportunities to

1500
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: convince them he can be trusted. And I thought he

1501
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 1: did quite well last night. So we'll see if that

1502
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: snap count goes up again. I think he got ten

1503
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: snaps against the Chiefs when he went against them, and

1504
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:58,639
Speaker 1: I can look it up when we get a chance here.

1505
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: In terms of his number snaps yesterday, I've been they've

1506
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: been kind of few and far between. But last night,

1507
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: let me see, I got it right here, mister cook.

1508
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: Fifteen snaps, So it went up five from the Chiefs game.

1509
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: So there you go. Also fifty well, it's twenty five

1510
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: percent of the offensive snaps in the game. So yeah,

1511
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying ten to fifteen. Yeah, ten to fifteen. His

1512
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: snap count went up by fifty percent, and I think

1513
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: that will probably continue. Although when you get up, think

1514
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: about if you get up another five plays he's up.

1515
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: Now he's twenty plays a game, and that's a significant contribution,

1516
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:41,799
Speaker 1: particularly if he gets opportunities on half of those. Yeah,

1517
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 1: and there's and let's not forget this. Even though the

1518
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:47,599
Speaker 1: Bills don't run it a ton, as we know in

1519
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: a seventeen game season, there is still a wear and

1520
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,679
Speaker 1: tear element on backs, even if they're only getting twelve

1521
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: to fifteen carries a game. Don't think that the Bills

1522
01:20:56,600 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: aren't mindful of that. With load management for Singletary, oh

1523
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: not for nothing, got forty four snaps last night for

1524
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,879
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the offensive plays. I would imagine

1525
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 1: it's going to drift back more to sixty five thirty five.

1526
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: I think maybe Cook gets close to forty in the

1527
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 1: best case scenario, because they trust Singletary in every facet

1528
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: of the game for what a running back is supposed

1529
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, I think it probably will be that.

1530
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll stay like this, but there may be a

1531
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 1: game like a Jet game or a Patriot game, or

1532
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: a Lion or Chicago or whatever. Pick a game. There

1533
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 1: may be a game when all of a sudden they

1534
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: put him in early for some way shaping you know,

1535
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary gets to win, knocked out of him or something,

1536
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 1: and Cook goes in and starts to make Hay and

1537
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: they just go with the hot hand and they give

1538
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary a day off, or maybe by plan they

1539
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 1: do that, or if they say, listen, we're gonna give

1540
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: you a bunch of snaps and then it goes well

1541
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 1: and they just keep doing it. So there may be

1542
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 1: one of those games sprinkled into the remaining ten games

1543
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: where he does get the majority of the offensive snaps

1544
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 1: for one reason or another. You can there's always that

1545
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: possibility because he's obviously the next guy in now. But

1546
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: we've seen a gradual increase in his opportunities and snap

1547
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: counts and the way they've dealed out those opportunities. I

1548
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 1: think it's going to continue until there's a reason not to. Yeah,

1549
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,600
Speaker 1: let's go to Robert and Rochester. Next Robbert, what do

1550
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 1: you got and you're on one bills? Live? Hi, guys,

1551
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: I have a question on the Green Bay Packer being

1552
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: ejected after he shoved the first on the sideline, coach

1553
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: McDermott pulled him away, and it appeared that he either

1554
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 1: shoved McDermott or tried to shove McDermott, and that might

1555
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: possibly be the reason why he was ejected from the game.

1556
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 1: So he tried to shove two people. I don't know

1557
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,719
Speaker 1: if you saw that or not. I saw a coach

1558
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:06,759
Speaker 1: trying to pull walker away from his practice squad player

1559
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: that he shoved. That's kind of what I saw because

1560
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: coaches behind him. The video every time you showed a video,

1561
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: which stops right there, but if you continue to wrote

1562
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 1: a video on one of them that I saw, that

1563
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packer player turned and I don't know if

1564
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 1: he shoved McDermott or tried to shove him, but it

1565
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 1: was one of the two. Well, I'll say this if

1566
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: and you can imagine what it would be like. Yeah,

1567
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: And you can see here McDermott kind of doing and

1568
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:36,720
Speaker 1: that's which is the exact thing everybody does when something

1569
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: like that happens. He was just turning the guy and

1570
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: letting him walk away. I don't you're right, we stopped

1571
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: the video before every time where the guy might have

1572
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: turned on McDermott for a moment, I will say this,

1573
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 1: it probably wasn't very If he did, it wasn't bad

1574
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 1: because can you imagine what would happen on the Bill's

1575
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: sideline if somebody took a swipe at Sean McDermott. It

1576
01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: would have been it would have been a melee. It

1577
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: would have degenerated quick because I know that. I mean,

1578
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 1: I know that's the way we felt about our head

1579
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: coach and our staff. You take a swipe at the

1580
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 1: top guy, You're gonna get chopped up pretty quick. So, um,

1581
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that was probably I don't think it was.

1582
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: If he did, he probably just shook a I don't know.

1583
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I came and speak to it.

1584
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 1: But I'd be surprised if anybody took a swipe at

1585
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 1: McDermott that he didn't get jumped quick and decisively. Yeah,

1586
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: but the kid, it was a young guy, you know, Um,

1587
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: you know kuay Walker is. You know, I think he's

1588
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: a frustrated kid. I don't mean, I don't mean generally speaking,

1589
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean in that game last night, Um, he was

1590
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,639
Speaker 1: bummed and he thought he saw something on the sidelines

1591
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,759
Speaker 1: that to me didn't have and I don't think anybody

1592
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: was after him. I think Zack Davidson stepped in and

1593
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: he was yelling at Cook, not anybody else. Kuay Walker

1594
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: turned around, saw the guy looking somewhere and yelling, and

1595
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: he punched him or putting, you know, chucked him. Yeah,

1596
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: it's a bad deal. It shouldn't have happened. It did.

1597
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 1: I was surprised he got thrown out for that. But

1598
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 1: there you have it. Speaking of chucking people, did you

1599
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: see the two licks Jordan Phillips put on people yesterday?

1600
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god? What that chicken wing he put on

1601
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: that in the first half. He just kind of he

1602
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 1: got him with his shoulder and shoulder and upper arms,

1603
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 1: stood there and threw a shoulder shiver. I yeah, I was.

1604
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 1: I was shocked when I saw how little that took

1605
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 1: from him. Well, and then down at the scoreboard end

1606
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: Packers are in the red zone. The tight end Deguara

1607
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: gets the ball and Jordan Phillips on a bee line

1608
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 1: from the backside ten yards down the field, three hundred

1609
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: forty pounds with a head of steam, absolutely labels the guy.

1610
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: The first thing that hits the ground is his shoulder

1611
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 1: pad in the side of his helmet. He gets out that.

1612
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 1: He gets up after the hit, and the first thing

1613
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: the tight ends doing is he's looking at silence. I

1614
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: need a sub I need a sub and he's kind

1615
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,799
Speaker 1: of You had a three hundred mass times acceleration equals power.

1616
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:12,679
Speaker 1: I remember that from physics and in high school. That's

1617
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 1: a mass you don't want to be running into at

1618
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:21,680
Speaker 1: any speed. Yeah. Yeah, he was laying people out. Wait times,

1619
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: mass times velocity is force and that's Jordan Phillips. He did. Uh,

1620
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 1: he did a couple of times last night. He's he

1621
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: is a big dude. I had people sitting next to

1622
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: me in the press box saying, oh, he ran into

1623
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: one of his own guys. I said, no, he didn't.

1624
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 1: I said, watched the replay, people like whoa. I mean,

1625
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones was off his feet in less than a

1626
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: second when his shoulder pad Jordan Phillips and some believing

1627
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:56,960
Speaker 1: he didn't my favorite, no attempt to wrap him up

1628
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: or anything. He just leaned in and went gave him,

1629
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, like a little baby chicken wing. And I

1630
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 1: mean it was like, there's nothing, nothing baby about that,

1631
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 1: nothing baby about that all right, we gotta take a break.

1632
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: More of your phone calls coming your way, and don't

1633
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: forget our number three. We'll have Eric Wood joining us

1634
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: as the Bills radio analyst gives us his thoughts from

1635
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,879
Speaker 1: the booth on Sunday's ten point victory over the Packers.

1636

Speaker 1: It's one Bills Live. We're back in a few minutes.

1637
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: Niagara Metals loves blue cheese and is a proud partner

1638
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Our MSG viewers are watching. Basically,

1639
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 1: a Green Bay car gets smashed into Smithereans and then

1640
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 1: Billy Buffalo just pours blue cheeses all over the thing. Um,

1641
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 1: this is very artistic and metaphorical in many many ways.

1642
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,640
Speaker 1: It pours it on the cheese head and then there

1643
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: was the canister on the car and walks away. Yeah, yeah,

1644
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: that's there, a lot of blue cheese. That's a that's

1645
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 1: a win video right there. Victory victory is a victory.

1646

01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:44,680

01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: I've been watching you for years, and um, but I

1660
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 1: just want to get to the game. Um yeah something.

1661
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 1: There's a little um, a little you know, nervous about

1662
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 1: how the guys played second half, but I'm more encouraged

1663
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 1: because we probably played like a maybe I had like

1664
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 1: a seat plus that you know, great and second half

1665
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 1: and we still won by ten points. And um, I

1666
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 1: think Matt Mulano, by the way, very underrated and I

1667
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 1: think he's the best linebacker in the game. And um

1668
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 1: yeah just hang up and lady guys talking, Um, thanks again,

1669
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:37,599
Speaker 1: how can I stay? Yeah? Eric Wood and I were

1670
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 1: talking about that on the pregame radio show yesterday before

1671
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the game, and I'm like, if this guy doesn't make

1672
01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl, it's a crime. And Eric chimes in,

1673
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 1: he goes, the guy's playing at an all pro level,

1674
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: and I would agree, Yeah, I mean, I think he's

1675
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 1: having his best season in the Bills uniform. I don't

1676
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 1: think it's all that much better though, than what he's

1677
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 1: done the last couple of years. The biggest thing that's

1678
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:05,639
Speaker 1: worked against him were those hamstring injuries that he would

1679
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 1: get where he'd miss a game here or miss a

1680
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 1: game there, And from what I've understood, he's doubled down

1681
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 1: on his body maintenance to try to avoid that this year.

1682
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna tell you right now, Jordan Poyer's

1683
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: two interceptions were gigantic in the Baltimore win. But holy cow,

1684
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 1: what Matt Malano did in that game against the Ravens

1685
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: with open field tackling on the fastest quarterback on the planet, right,

1686
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 1: it was impressive, Like, yeah, you don't see that, did

1687
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,759
Speaker 1: the same thing. You don't see linebackers bringing down Lamar

1688
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: Jackson in the open field with Regulary did the same

1689
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: thing in the Kansas City game, huge swing pass out

1690
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,519
Speaker 1: to the end to Pacheco and he was there and

1691
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:54,880
Speaker 1: got the guy on the ground. He has been a

1692
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 1: really good linebacker, and I would agree with Eric Wood.

1693
01:30:57,080 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 1: I think he's he's an all prom the way he

1694
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: has played, the difference he has made in games. Certainly,

1695
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 1: you know last night he was one for three on

1696
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:10,719
Speaker 1: the interception opportunities he had. But the guy's a difference

1697
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:12,880
Speaker 1: maker on a team that's playing at a high level,

1698
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:17,759
Speaker 1: and he has you know, and he's available all the time.

1699
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 1: So that's also an enormous plus. Yeah, he can't say

1700
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 1: enough about it. And also that you know about the

1701
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 1: second half from our caller owl about you know, he's

1702
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 1: been a nervous second half. Bills only scored three points

1703
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: in the second half. That was a little bit different

1704
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,800
Speaker 1: than what we had seen from them, But they were

1705
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 1: up by seventeen and they gave up seven points in

1706
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:42,640
Speaker 1: the second half. So yeah, that's just the way it is.

1707
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: That the team that was a three phase win last night.

1708
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:47,720
Speaker 1: Certainly the offense gave him a big lead in the

1709
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 1: second half and the defense closed it out, taken over

1710
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 1: on downs once. Special teams played extremely well last night.

1711
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:57,320
Speaker 1: I thought I thought serand Neil was was money last night,

1712
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 1: and they almost got the first punt of the game

1713
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 1: when the Pack punted it, So they were really hitting

1714
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 1: on all cylinders last night. That brings up something that

1715
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: I had wanted to talk to you about. It's going

1716
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:12,520
Speaker 1: on about three weeks now that the Bills are purposely

1717
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:16,600
Speaker 1: kicking kickoffs short because they trust their coverage unit to

1718
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 1: make a tackle inside the twenty five yard line, and

1719
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: they're doing it. They got one. The Pack got one

1720
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 1: nice return out when the guy got out to the edge,

1721
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: but it was brought back by a holding penalty. That's

1722
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:30,840
Speaker 1: what got him the edge, so that turned him up.

1723
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 1: They turned up getting them back inside their ten yard line.

1724
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,960
Speaker 1: So they're not just given the twenty five on a

1725
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:40,599
Speaker 1: touchback anymore. They they're maximizing it. They trust their coverage

1726
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 1: unit to hold them inside the twenty five and Steve

1727
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 1: after seven games played their number one in the league

1728
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: in kick coverage. Yeah, they're They're hitting it really good.

1729
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: I think Tyler basset and a nice job. He hits

1730
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: it with a lot of hang time, which is the

1731
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 1: key element. You got to if if the ball stays

1732
01:32:56,479 --> 01:32:58,120
Speaker 1: in the air a long time, you know those guys

1733
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:01,799
Speaker 1: are down there closer and every two tenths of a second,

1734
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 1: the ball stays in the air. It's another literally another

1735
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:08,120
Speaker 1: seven yards closer to the carrier that your coverage guys

1736
01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 1: are gonna get at full speed. They're just doing a

1737
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 1: really nice job right now. They've got a guys they trust.

1738
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 1: Kumero's out there, sarand Nels out there, Meta Kevich is

1739
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 1: out there, and when he's healthy, Taiwan Jones is out there.

1740
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 1: They've got a core group of guys. Dotson, they got

1741
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,720
Speaker 1: some guys and they are they're doing a really nice

1742
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:29,200
Speaker 1: job in coverage. And of course Tyler Bass was himself.

1743
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 1: He's he's it's pretty good. He's really good, really good.

1744
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:37,639
Speaker 1: We gotta take a break here. When we come back, though,

1745
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:40,240
Speaker 1: for our number three on this Bill's Victory Monday, we're

1746
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 1: gonna be joined by Bills Radio analyst Eric Wood, who

1747
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:46,320
Speaker 1: will give us his thoughts after watching the game from

1748
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 1: the booth on the Bills Radio Network. He joins us

1749
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:51,599
Speaker 1: next here on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health,

1750
01:33:51,600 --> 01:34:32,840
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio lease these one Bills Live presented

1751
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 1: by Called Light of Health. Our number three here for

1752
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:40,160
Speaker 1: a Bills Victory Monday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasper with you,

1753
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 1: and joined on the phone now by the man who

1754
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 1: watched it from the radio booth. Bill's radio network analyst

1755
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 1: Eric Wood, joining us on the phone line on his

1756
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 1: way back to his home in Louisville. Eric, how are

1757
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:56,720
Speaker 1: you making out? I'm doing all right. Yeah, we woke

1758
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: up to a cancel of flight this morning. No good

1759
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,680
Speaker 1: options to make it back in time to trick or

1760
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: treet with the kids, so hopped in the rental car

1761
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,280
Speaker 1: and making the truck down to Buisville right now. The

1762
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 1: perks of the broadcast life. But you know, it's all good.

1763
01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:12,920
Speaker 1: This generally happens once or twice a year, and there's

1764
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,360
Speaker 1: no sense of getting too upset about it. I appreciate

1765
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 1: you guys being flexible though. Yeah, no worries scared. It's

1766
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:20,240
Speaker 1: drive carefully and we just want to add what are

1767
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:25,719
Speaker 1: your impressions now, twelve or fourteen hours after the game? Man?

1768
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, pretty lackluster second half. Definitely not the second

1769
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 1: half dominance that we've seen from the Bills throughout the season,

1770
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:35,919
Speaker 1: but the fact that they can play a little sloppy

1771
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 1: in the second half and still come out of a

1772
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 1: Sunday and night football game with a ten point win.

1773
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 1: Is a good place to be in right now. I

1774
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 1: also think there's a lot of positives that come out

1775
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:49,599
Speaker 1: of that game as well, some incredible individual efforts, starting

1776
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. What the run

1777
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:54,679
Speaker 1: game has turned into these last couple of weeks as

1778
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:58,440
Speaker 1: something they can rely on at times is great. Devin Singletary,

1779
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 1: he's been playing excellent of late. And then you're seeing,

1780
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 1: in my opinion, they more confident James Cook. And I

1781
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 1: can't blame him for maybe having a lack of confidence

1782
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:12,720
Speaker 1: or maybe just not that spark that we thought we'd

1783
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,560
Speaker 1: see with him coming out of the University of Georgia

1784
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:18,439
Speaker 1: when you bumble your first carry of your NFL career,

1785
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 1: he lose the ball in National TV and the opener

1786
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:24,040
Speaker 1: of the season at LA and so. But what we're

1787
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 1: seeing now, in my opinion, is a more confident James Cook,

1788
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 1: and it maybe starts with him getting some opportunities at

1789
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:32,559
Speaker 1: the end of that Pittsburgh game to run the football.

1790
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 1: He breaks off the long run for a touchdown, and

1791
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 1: then last night he played a role for the Bills

1792
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 1: on offensive role that I think he can continue to

1793
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 1: build on, taking some carries, taking some of the vote

1794
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,919
Speaker 1: off the Devin Singletary and at times being a factor

1795
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 1: in the past game and provide some big yards and

1796
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,640
Speaker 1: some big place for the Bills. And then on the

1797
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football, Matt Milano continues to play

1798
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 1: like an All Pro linebacker. The defensive line showed up

1799
01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: again in the pass rush last night. And you know,

1800
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 1: you can get on the Bills about their lack of

1801
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:05,800
Speaker 1: maybe run defense at times, but they consistently kept six

1802
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:09,200
Speaker 1: guys in the box. They were okay, especially once they

1803
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 1: got that three score lead. They were okay, bending but

1804
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 1: not breaking. Understanding that if Green Bay continues the milk

1805
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:18,040
Speaker 1: the clock on the ground, there's no way they're going

1806
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:20,280
Speaker 1: to come back and beat you. There's no style points

1807
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:22,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL that's rewarding. You need to get out

1808
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:25,600
Speaker 1: of the game with victories. And so I thought the

1809
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 1: defensive blonde rushed the passer extremely well, and then the

1810
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:33,479
Speaker 1: past defense continued it's dominance that it's had for a

1811
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: majority of the season. We saw in Week six Eric

1812
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of lean on the run game a

1813
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Kansas City was kind of inviting them to

1814
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: a certain extent to do that, and they did with

1815
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 1: pretty good success. I mean, they had a hundred yards

1816
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 1: at halftime against the Chiefs. That was a ten ten game.

1817
01:37:50,479 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 1: This week, I thought what was interesting was the Bills

1818
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 1: come out, they stubbed their toe and go three and

1819
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 1: out on their opening possession. They come back on the

1820
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 1: next possession and Ken Dorsey calls five consecutive run plays.

1821
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe some of those are RPOs in there,

1822
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 1: but five run plays in a row, you know, and

1823
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,679
Speaker 1: then there's a Josh scramble in there and another run

1824
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:11,799
Speaker 1: and then you know he's thrown it to Dawson Knox

1825
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 1: in the end zone. What has developed or unfolded that

1826
01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 1: has made the difference in production as you see it

1827
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 1: in the run game. I think this offensive line is

1828
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 1: starting to gel a little bit more now, and that

1829
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:28,560
Speaker 1: can happen when you have a Roger Saffold miss a

1830
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 1: lot of the preseason. Mitch Morris has been dinged up

1831
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:33,120
Speaker 1: this year. Ryan Bates flips from the left guard spot

1832
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 1: to the right guard spot this year. Spencer Brown was

1833
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 1: dealing with the back injury all year and now he's

1834
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 1: got an ankle injury. A lot of moving parts, but

1835
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,640
Speaker 1: I think as a unit they're starting to gel a

1836
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 1: little bit. I think Aaron Cromer and Ken Dorsy are

1837
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 1: finding runs that they can be confident that are going

1838
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 1: to gain yards, especially on first and second down, to

1839
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 1: make it easier to convert four first downs throughout a game.

1840
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: And Bevin Singletary's playing at a high level. He's hitting

1841
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:58,920
Speaker 1: his spots. He looks like that guy we saw in

1842
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:02,599
Speaker 1: those final five games in the playoffs last year that

1843
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 1: was playing at a very high level. So, you know,

1844
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 1: you combine all of that and they're playing well. And

1845
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,599
Speaker 1: you mentioned the RPOs. I think one of the biggest

1846
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 1: things that the Bills are doing this year. And they've

1847
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 1: run RPOs over the last few years under Brian day Ball,

1848
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 1: but they're running a lot more of them now. A

1849
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 1: lot of the past plays that you see throughout the

1850
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 1: game are RPOs, and generally, I'm the one on the

1851
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:29,280
Speaker 1: broadcast saying everybody calls everything an RPO nowadays, and some

1852
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 1: of it's just truly hard play action. Well what the

1853
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 1: Bills do, especially with their pin and pool schemes, because

1854
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 1: those guys aren't getting down the field very fast because

1855
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:40,639
Speaker 1: those down blocks aren't going to gain a lot of ground.

1856
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 1: They're single one on one blocks, and the poolers are

1857
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 1: starting behind the line of scrimmage. That gives Josh Allen

1858
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:50,160
Speaker 1: time to really diagnose the defense and not necessarily have

1859
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 1: to make the absolute split second decision that it would

1860
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 1: need to be on an RPO if it's an inside

1861
01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 1: zone where you're creating double teams and creating movement and immediately. So,

1862
01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:02,960
Speaker 1: I've liked what I've seen out of the run game,

1863
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,720
Speaker 1: and this team is built to throw the football. They

1864
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 1: have so much skill on the outside in that tight end,

1865
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 1: and even these running backs have been effective out of

1866
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: the backfield catching the ball. It's not an instance where

1867
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 1: we got to say, hey, the Bills need to just

1868
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:18,760
Speaker 1: focus more on the run game. I think that's far

1869
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:22,280
Speaker 1: from the truth. But having an effective run game, a

1870
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: run game that maybe when the past game isn't there,

1871
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:27,120
Speaker 1: or the weather dictates it, or a defense is just

1872
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 1: begging you to the run of football, I think you're

1873
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:32,000
Speaker 1: getting some confidence in this Bill's run game. What do

1874
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 1: you make about the second half struggles offensively? Only three

1875
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: points in the second half and keyed by two Josh

1876
01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:39,719
Speaker 1: Allen throws, And we were talking about the one throw

1877
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:41,600
Speaker 1: that he threw in the dirt that Jay or Alexander

1878
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,679
Speaker 1: threw is actually a good decision, but it was poorly executed.

1879
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 1: He's hitting throw it in the dirt hard enough. And

1880
01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:49,439
Speaker 1: the other one was probably a bad throw, bad decision.

1881
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:51,320
Speaker 1: What do you make about the struggles in the second

1882
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:54,160
Speaker 1: half of the offense only scoring three points. Yeah, it

1883
01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 1: seemed a little bit out of stink, and that can

1884
01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:58,799
Speaker 1: happen when you maybe take your foot off the gas

1885
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. Think, Okay, we just can't make a

1886
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:05,160
Speaker 1: big mistake. I understand Josh through two interceptions. Those were

1887
01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:09,760
Speaker 1: both in packer's territory after they had moved the ball

1888
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:12,840
Speaker 1: in those drives or came up with a turnover. That

1889
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 1: being said, yes, those were uncharacteristic decisions by Josh. The

1890
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 1: one across the middle, it was always a note. Like

1891
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 1: when I was playing in the NFL, it was always

1892
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 1: a no no. I heard them coach up our quarterbacks

1893
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:26,559
Speaker 1: all the time. Never roll out and then throw back

1894
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:28,400
Speaker 1: across your body to the middle of the field. Those

1895
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 1: balls get intercepted all the time. Well, Patrick Mahomes and

1896
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen had pretty much demolished that rule with their arm, talent,

1897
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:38,719
Speaker 1: and mobility and creativity. They pretty much demolished it and Josh.

1898
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 1: You know he got he got picked off last night

1899
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:44,040
Speaker 1: making a risky throw. But you want him to take

1900
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:46,440
Speaker 1: chances down the field, and he complete so many balls

1901
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: throwing back across the field that you don't want him

1902
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 1: to take that out of his game. Maybe just to

1903
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:53,080
Speaker 1: touch late with that throw in a bad decision, and

1904
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:55,040
Speaker 1: then you're right. Looked like he was trying to throw

1905
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 1: the ball into the dirt and just didn't execute it.

1906
01:41:57,360 --> 01:41:59,280
Speaker 1: You got to throw it at someone's speed, and he

1907
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: just didn't get it. It didn't get it to the

1908
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,800
Speaker 1: ground fast enough. But I and then towards the end

1909
01:42:04,800 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: of the game, if Josh doesn't miss that little dink

1910
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,120
Speaker 1: to Kumero, I have some confidence that they could have

1911
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 1: just simply ran out that clock, Which is a great

1912
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 1: sign Bills are gonna be playing with a lot of

1913
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:16,840
Speaker 1: leads in the second half, and I have a four

1914
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 1: minuted offense that you can drain the clock and really

1915
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 1: take a team out of the game. That becomes very

1916
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:27,760
Speaker 1: valuable from playing under Sean McDermott. There's nothing coach McDermott

1917
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,600
Speaker 1: once more than to have a physical football team that

1918
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:32,639
Speaker 1: at the end of the game can impose their will

1919
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 1: on an opponent and run the ball on them when

1920
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 1: they know you're running the football, and they were pretty

1921
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 1: close to doing that and finishing it out. I know,

1922
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:41,800
Speaker 1: coach McDermott said after the game he was oppressed with

1923
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 1: the four minuted offense and you just missed that one

1924
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,719
Speaker 1: throw to Kumo or else. It might have been perfectly

1925
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:49,200
Speaker 1: executed right and there was a penalty. They knind of

1926
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 1: compromise their effectiveness with the foremant offense as well, forced

1927
01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 1: them to punt. Stephen Diggs after the game, Eric said

1928
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 1: it was the most trash talking he's ever experienced in

1929
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:03,080
Speaker 1: a football game, and he's been in the league for

1930
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 1: a few minutes. What impact do you feel all that

1931
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:12,719
Speaker 1: trash talking had on the game, and do you feel

1932
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 1: like it ever reached a level where, especially when the

1933
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 1: Bills were up seventeen, that maybe for a few plays

1934
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:23,640
Speaker 1: the focus shifted away from taking care of business and

1935
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:27,640
Speaker 1: more on embarrassing Jaire Alexander. Yeah, that can that can

1936
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:30,920
Speaker 1: happen in games, and you know, you got competitive guys

1937
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 1: like Diggs and Josh Allen and they want to embarrass him.

1938
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, think back to LA they embarrassed Jalen Ramsey

1939
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:39,719
Speaker 1: and I think they thought they were gonna embarrass Gyre

1940
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: Alexander last night as well. I know Jayre from college

1941
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:46,559
Speaker 1: and I guess, I guess he's grown into himself, found

1942
01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:48,560
Speaker 1: his voice a little bit in the NFL when he

1943
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 1: played at the University of Louisville. It wasn't he wasn't

1944
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:54,839
Speaker 1: coming out of college known as a big time trash talker,

1945
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:57,400
Speaker 1: but he sure put it on display last night. It

1946
01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:01,080
Speaker 1: seems like every week Diggs comes with his monstership on

1947
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:04,400
Speaker 1: his shoulder. And I'm not saying he initiates that, but

1948
01:44:04,479 --> 01:44:07,160
Speaker 1: he plays with a tenacity week in week out that

1949
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:09,759
Speaker 1: sometimes can bring that out. And the guy like Jayere

1950
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:12,479
Speaker 1: Alexander and yeah, I thought. I thought the worst moment

1951
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 1: of maybe them getting out of their game was when

1952
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis got the personal foul, and that wasn't an

1953
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:21,439
Speaker 1: egregious hit, but he gave Lill something after the play

1954
01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:24,560
Speaker 1: because he was starting to get under their skin. It

1955
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 1: will give Sean McDermott something to coach about. But you

1956
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 1: know this Bills team, they played with a lot of

1957
01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 1: passion and each and every week, you know, especially Digs,

1958
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to take that out of his game.

1959
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 1: I love the way he shows up and plays each

1960
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:41,720
Speaker 1: and every week. Yeah, it was. It was one of

1961
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 1: those games where it did get a little chippy and

1962
01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 1: it struck me. And I said this to Brownie on

1963
01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:47,880
Speaker 1: the program a little earlier, that it seems to me

1964
01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 1: that the Packers were a little bit, in the big

1965
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:56,439
Speaker 1: picture of their season, really frustrated that they were gonna

1966
01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 1: have a four game losing streak. It's a team that's

1967
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,720
Speaker 1: won thirteen games for two or three seasons in a row.

1968
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,479
Speaker 1: They've been in the mix for so long and they're

1969
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 1: not now. They are not that team, and they can

1970
01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 1: feel it, and I think they're a little frustrated by it. Yeah,

1971
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:14,800
Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. Those guys look frustrated.

1972
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 1: And you know, Von Miller wouldn't say what Aaron Rodgers

1973
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 1: said in the second half, but I think we can

1974
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 1: all read between the lines when Von said, hey, why

1975
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 1: aren't you throwing it more? And I'm sure Aaron Rodgers

1976
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,800
Speaker 1: said something back to the tune, I don't know why

1977
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing it more either. Those guys are frustrated

1978
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: over there. They're not used to losing ball games like this,

1979
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 1: and yeah, it can lead to some guys losing their temper.

1980
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: You know, Quaya Walker. They're a rookie first rounder from Georgia.

1981
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:42,840
Speaker 1: He's not used to losing ball games. He came from

1982
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 1: National Championship last year. He shoves the Bills player on

1983
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 1: the sideline and get subjected from the game. You could

1984
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:52,479
Speaker 1: tell emotions were high. But the Bills did exactly what

1985
01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: you need to do against a team like that that's

1986
01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,240
Speaker 1: lost three games in a row. They jumped on them

1987
01:45:57,240 --> 01:46:00,840
Speaker 1: early and got them frustrated and got them upset with themselves.

1988
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 1: That did give him that hope initially that maybe a

1989
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: three and four ball club that has Super Bowl aspirations

1990
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:10,479
Speaker 1: might come in with get back over the Hump, National TV.

1991
01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 1: Let's kind of reset the narrative here. You know, the

1992
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 1: Bills got up quick in that one. Just one last

1993
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:21,000
Speaker 1: thing on the run game Eric from me. Bobby Hart

1994
01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 1: is used as the sixth offensive lineman. We know that

1995
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,040
Speaker 1: Tommy Doyle's out for the year with the torn acl

1996
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,559
Speaker 1: so he's no longer an option in that capacity. Ken

1997
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:32,439
Speaker 1: Dorsey turns to Bobby Hard, who kind of serves as

1998
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:34,920
Speaker 1: more of a second tight end, you know, than an

1999
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 1: unbalanced line extra tackle kind of guy, because he's actually

2000
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 1: outside of Dawson Knox in the formation most of the time.

2001
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:45,800
Speaker 1: Is what do you think is give us the xs

2002
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:48,599
Speaker 1: an OS perspective on this, the reasoning you put Heart

2003
01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 1: out wider than Knox. What's the design of the play

2004
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:56,400
Speaker 1: there that you would put your bigger man out on

2005
01:46:56,439 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 1: the edge. I'm not sure to be honest stuff. I mean,

2006
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:05,599
Speaker 1: maybe to confuse the defense, you know, give them something

2007
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:08,000
Speaker 1: else to prepare for each week. It could have been

2008
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 1: their edge defenders are very good players, so you want

2009
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: Bobby Hart one on one against one of those really

2010
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:18,160
Speaker 1: good outside defenders, or at the point of attack against

2011
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:19,600
Speaker 1: one of those guys. So it could have been a

2012
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:23,000
Speaker 1: matchup play as well. But throughout my career we ran

2013
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,400
Speaker 1: six offensive line of informations all of the time, and

2014
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,160
Speaker 1: I don't think we ever put a guy out there.

2015
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 1: And Greg Roman would be as creative as anybody in

2016
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:33,400
Speaker 1: those types of deals, and I don't think we would

2017
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:36,760
Speaker 1: ever wing put put the sixth offensive lineman in the

2018
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:40,360
Speaker 1: wing and then you're tight end inside. I'm excited to

2019
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:42,960
Speaker 1: see where that goes with the Bills and if that

2020
01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:47,000
Speaker 1: becomes Dawson Knox sneaking across the formation onto play action

2021
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:49,640
Speaker 1: or how all that shakes out. But yeah, it was

2022
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 1: very interesting to me how they put him out there,

2023
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:56,160
Speaker 1: and I said on the broadcast, and then you know

2024
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:58,880
Speaker 1: with Quest and Bury needing an X ray after the

2025
01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:01,759
Speaker 1: game last night, getting a little dinged up, and Bobby Hart.

2026
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 1: So one thing that's interesting is and I think this,

2027
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:07,920
Speaker 1: part of the reason that Bobby Hart was the primary

2028
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 1: sixth though linemen to start the year, when he would

2029
01:48:11,120 --> 01:48:13,719
Speaker 1: come into the game and play tight end, was because

2030
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:16,080
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily want your swing tackle doing that because

2031
01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:17,880
Speaker 1: you don't want to get him dinged up. Well, now

2032
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:21,880
Speaker 1: Bobby Hart becomes one of your primary backups, and so

2033
01:48:22,120 --> 01:48:24,920
Speaker 1: I was wondering if maybe they would find someone else

2034
01:48:24,960 --> 01:48:27,000
Speaker 1: to play that role, but they continue to put him

2035
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:30,120
Speaker 1: in there, and it gives them flexibility where they can

2036
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,800
Speaker 1: keep Tommy Sweeney down. You still have the same amount

2037
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:34,879
Speaker 1: of o lineman up, but then you get that blocking

2038
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 1: tight end presence on the field. One last thing, I

2039
01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 1: know you touched on the contributions of James Cook earlier

2040
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:42,160
Speaker 1: in your comments. I want to see do you think

2041
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 1: i'd say to if you did, what do you think

2042
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:48,120
Speaker 1: the evolution of James Cook is? Right here? We saw

2043
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:51,200
Speaker 1: last night, whereas a couple of series where instead of

2044
01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:54,160
Speaker 1: getting sprinkled in play by play, he got the entire

2045
01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:58,760
Speaker 1: series a couple of times last night. Do you expect that,

2046
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:01,479
Speaker 1: you know, what's your thought about that continuing to grow

2047
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 1: and grow and how far will it go? Yeah? I

2048
01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:07,320
Speaker 1: think you will continue to see that for a couple

2049
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:10,599
Speaker 1: of reasons. One, Devin Singletary is your number one running

2050
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:12,479
Speaker 1: back right now, but you don't want him to take

2051
01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 1: a full game's worth of blows each and every week.

2052
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 1: Although we're seven games into the season, the season still

2053
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 1: fairly young, especially when you have Super Bowl aspirations. You

2054
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 1: want Devin Singletary to not get completely beat down throughout

2055
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:27,360
Speaker 1: the season if something didn't happen to Singletary. Now you

2056
01:49:27,439 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: have experience with James Cook by working him in the

2057
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: line of consistently with the starters. And then I believe

2058
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:36,320
Speaker 1: they do the series by serious rotations because the way

2059
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:38,800
Speaker 1: the Bills throw the football. This isn't like Green Bay

2060
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:41,559
Speaker 1: last night, where they're having to rotate Dylan and Jones

2061
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 1: constantly because those guys are wore out. You know, the Bills,

2062
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 1: although the second drive of the game, round the ball

2063
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:49,519
Speaker 1: consistently for a majority of the game. They're going to

2064
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:52,800
Speaker 1: be throwing the football most of the time, and so

2065
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 1: those running backs aren't, you know, necessarily worn down midway

2066
01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 1: through the drive where you have to spell those guys.

2067
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:01,400
Speaker 1: So I think you continue to see more and more

2068
01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 1: from James Cook coming into the season. I think we

2069
01:50:04,520 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: thought we'd see some James Cook and Devin Singletary on

2070
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,320
Speaker 1: the field at the same time as they gained more

2071
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 1: confidence in James Cook and he becomes a more confident player.

2072
01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned earlier, I think you could see Ken

2073
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,200
Speaker 1: Dorsey be even more creative with having both those guys

2074
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 1: in the field at the same time. Before we let

2075
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 1: you go, Eric, maybe some initial thoughts on the Jets.

2076
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 1: They're kind of floundering a little bit at the quarterback

2077
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 1: position as Zach Wilson's been struggling, and even more so

2078
01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:34,559
Speaker 1: without the engine and the offense in Bruce Hall being

2079
01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:38,040
Speaker 1: lost for the season with a knee injury. James Robinson

2080
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:40,280
Speaker 1: could have something to say about that he didn't really

2081
01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:42,880
Speaker 1: play this past week and their loss to the Patriots.

2082
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 1: What do you do when there is a new element

2083
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:49,840
Speaker 1: involved that has not been incorporated into that personnel that

2084
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,760
Speaker 1: you can review on film. Yeah, I think you just

2085
01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:56,040
Speaker 1: have to prepare for their plays. They're same plays you've

2086
01:50:56,040 --> 01:50:59,360
Speaker 1: seen on film. A Mike Lafloor offense, not a Matte

2087
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:02,599
Speaker 1: Lafloor off thence Mike Lafloor the offensive coordinator for the Jets,

2088
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:05,280
Speaker 1: you're looking at plays that he runs. But then you're

2089
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 1: also studying James Robinson because as Wilson struggles and the

2090
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:13,680
Speaker 1: Jets have a good defense, you would assume that, especially

2091
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:16,160
Speaker 1: with the Packers getting over two hundred yards on the

2092
01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 1: ground last night against the Bills, that the Jets will

2093
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: try and test them in the run game. The Jets

2094
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 1: are an interesting team to me. I did I did

2095
01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:26,559
Speaker 1: not expect to see them sitting at five and three,

2096
01:51:26,640 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 1: and then when they were sitting at five and two,

2097
01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 1: I expected them to beat the Patriots at home yesterday.

2098
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 1: So they're kind of a tough team to get a

2099
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: read on right now. The Bills open up as a

2100
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:38,000
Speaker 1: twelve and a half point favor, which is another monster

2101
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:43,200
Speaker 1: spread heading into the week this week, But you know,

2102
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:46,439
Speaker 1: looking at it, I think I think a lot of

2103
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:49,679
Speaker 1: the focus will be on this Jets run game. But

2104
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:53,640
Speaker 1: but the Jets do have some playmakers on the outside

2105
01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 1: Wilson in particular. All right, Eric, thanks as always for

2106
01:51:57,439 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 1: the insight. We'll catch up with you guys, travels. That's

2107
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:04,320
Speaker 1: Eric Wood making his way back to his home in

2108
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 1: Louisville on the road after his flight back was canceled

2109
01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:11,280
Speaker 1: this morning, and he'll be on the road again to

2110
01:52:11,320 --> 01:52:17,639
Speaker 1: New York. Yeah, um, yeah, I we'll talk Jets later

2111
01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 1: in the week. But yeah, they're they're a little bit

2112
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 1: of an enigma because their defense is pretty good, like

2113
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:28,800
Speaker 1: they're a top ten unit legitimately, it's their offense that's

2114
01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 1: painfully inconsistent, well until it's tight, until Bruce Hard. Yeah,

2115
01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:36,520
Speaker 1: until Bruce Hall went down. It was all the quarterback,

2116
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:39,560
Speaker 1: I think their struggles and he's just a little too inconsistent,

2117
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 1: and injuries on the offensive line. Then yeah, then it

2118
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:44,840
Speaker 1: became the injuries and then Bruce Hall and all the

2119
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:47,160
Speaker 1: they start to get injured and they're not that deep yet.

2120
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 1: Their roster isn't so um and I Zach Wilson in

2121
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:54,479
Speaker 1: this situation for the Jets, in a perfect world, they

2122
01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:57,439
Speaker 1: got a quarterback that can carry him, and Zach Wilson's

2123
01:52:57,520 --> 01:53:00,400
Speaker 1: not quite ready to do that yet. Yeah, let's get

2124
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:02,240
Speaker 1: back to the phone. Zough to get your takeaways from

2125
01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:05,240
Speaker 1: yesterday's win over the Packers. On Sunday Night Football, we

2126
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 1: go to John and Buffalo. Next we got for us, John,

2127
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 1: Johnny there, Oh John, I hate to tell you. I'll

2128
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:18,679
Speaker 1: put John hold here. We'll come back to you. Let's

2129
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:21,559
Speaker 1: go to Jerry in Orchard Park. What you got for us?

2130
01:53:21,640 --> 01:53:26,680
Speaker 1: Jerry hold on? Let me love your show. One coming on,

2131
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, He's come a long way. I noticed Patrick

2132
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:35,519
Speaker 1: Mahomes when he's scrambling, he'll throw the ball out to

2133
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:40,120
Speaker 1: the sidelines. I don't know why Josh doesn't do the

2134
01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: same thing when he's in trouble, Like you know, with

2135
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:46,080
Speaker 1: the two interceptions yesterday, I thought if he threw it

2136
01:53:46,120 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 1: out to the side, wouldn't be an issue. I'll hang

2137
01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 1: up and listen, thank you very much. Yeah, no problem,

2138
01:53:53,479 --> 01:53:56,559
Speaker 1: Jerry um Yeah. I mean, you want to live for

2139
01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: another down at all times when you don't have any options.

2140
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 1: Josh is so competitive that I think sometimes if he

2141
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,040
Speaker 1: feels he has a sliver of a chance of making

2142
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:08,479
Speaker 1: a play, he's gonna want to do that. I do think, though,

2143
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 1: and Steve and I have talked about this that Patrick

2144
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Josh Allen are a little bit different in

2145
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: that particular area of their respective games. Patrick Mahomes is

2146
01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:20,320
Speaker 1: the guy who will extend the play but stay behind

2147
01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:22,519
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage to throw it at all costs.

2148
01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 1: Josh may throw it, or he may run over the

2149
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:28,040
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and just start taking off and running,

2150
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:31,519
Speaker 1: which is why Josh has significantly more rushing yards than

2151
01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:33,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes every year. They're just a little bit different

2152
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:38,120
Speaker 1: in that area. Could he throw it away more sure?

2153
01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll think to do that more after trying to

2154
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 1: throw it in the dirt on Sunday night didn't work

2155
01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:45,880
Speaker 1: too well. Well, if he throws it away, he's gonna

2156
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 1: make sure he throws it away. And I think you're right.

2157
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:55,520
Speaker 1: Josh trusts his arm sometimes a little too much where

2158
01:54:55,520 --> 01:54:58,920
Speaker 1: it's always a huge mistake to throw the ball late

2159
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:02,280
Speaker 1: back over the middle when out by the sidelines. Josh

2160
01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:04,560
Speaker 1: gets away with it. We've seen him do it for

2161
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns no less. So he probably went to the well

2162
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,640
Speaker 1: once too often. I think on one of the interceptions

2163
01:55:12,720 --> 01:55:15,520
Speaker 1: last night, I mean he was trying to dirt. He

2164
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:17,160
Speaker 1: was trying to throw that away, throw it down on

2165
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:19,680
Speaker 1: the dirt and didn't do a good enough job of it.

2166
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:26,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, most quarterbacks are taught and coached to throw

2167
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:29,120
Speaker 1: the ball out of bounds or to the sideline receiver

2168
01:55:29,600 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 1: when they're running one direction or the other. Don't throw

2169
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:34,280
Speaker 1: it back across the field. Josh gets away with it

2170
01:55:34,640 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 1: because he's got a special arm, you know. And maybe

2171
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:42,960
Speaker 1: games like last night will teach him not to do

2172
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:44,720
Speaker 1: that and they'll take that out of his game. Although

2173
01:55:45,560 --> 01:55:48,360
Speaker 1: I kind of doubt it because he's been too successful

2174
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:52,600
Speaker 1: doing it until he proves he can proves to himself

2175
01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:55,040
Speaker 1: he can't make those throws. He's gonna make it. But

2176
01:55:55,240 --> 01:56:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're right, Mahomes throws it to the sidelines

2177
01:56:00,640 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 1: when he scrambles one way or the other. Josh doesn't

2178
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:05,600
Speaker 1: always do that because I think Josh wants to make

2179
01:56:05,600 --> 01:56:11,360
Speaker 1: those plays. That's the only difference. Josh trusts his arm.

2180
01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:14,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't always do it, but he does sometimes. Let's

2181
01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:16,200
Speaker 1: go back to the phones. We'll try a second time

2182
01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:19,520
Speaker 1: with John and Buffalo. We got you John, Yeah, here,

2183
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:22,440
Speaker 1: I am brothers. Okay, we got for us. Just want

2184
01:56:22,480 --> 01:56:25,360
Speaker 1: to say I'm very proud of the way that the

2185
01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills played. There was like two different games there.

2186
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 1: The first half they played tremendous and the second half

2187
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:38,080
Speaker 1: was you know, there was mistakes made in that, but

2188
01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm still proud of our football team and I'm glad

2189
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:47,240
Speaker 1: that they finally they beat the Packers. And the Packers

2190
01:56:47,360 --> 01:56:50,160
Speaker 1: they've been thirteen and three for three years in a row,

2191
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:54,600
Speaker 1: and they should feel what the Buffalo Bills feel at times.

2192
01:56:55,480 --> 01:56:59,840
Speaker 1: And I'm just proud of our team. I'm proud of

2193
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:04,640
Speaker 1: being a member of the Buffalo Bills and the fans. Okay,

2194
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:06,880
Speaker 1: well that sounds good to me, John, thanks for the call.

2195
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Um Let's move ahead to Jeff on

2196
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 1: a cell. Let me pull him up here. This is

2197
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 1: not working. There we go, what do you want for us? Jeff? Hi, guys, Hey,

2198
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk, you know, talk about the James

2199
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 1: Cook situation again. Eric Wood brought up something and I

2200
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, I've been thinking this too, about having Singletary

2201
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:35,960
Speaker 1: and Cook in the backfield at the same time. I mean,

2202
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 1: he was drafted, as you know, a guy coming out

2203
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 1: of the backfield as a receiver, and of course he

2204
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:44,080
Speaker 1: had that forty one yard or yesterday, which was great.

2205
01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why they can't use him Moore. I

2206
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 1: mean they're they're styles are very different in the backfield,

2207
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:54,480
Speaker 1: and also he could be used as a slot receiver.

2208
01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 1: H he has a speed man. I mean, he's fast

2209
01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:00,920
Speaker 1: as hell, So I don't I just think about that.

2210
01:58:00,920 --> 01:58:05,800
Speaker 1: That's great. You're thinking taking taking Isaiah McKenzie or Shakir

2211
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:11,200
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir off the field and replacing them with James Cook. Well,

2212
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 1: unless you go eleven personnel and then split him out

2213
01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:17,160
Speaker 1: and empty the backfield, you could do that. Who comes

2214
01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:18,640
Speaker 1: off the field is what I'm saying as a point

2215
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 1: the running backs seeking singletary, So just run eleven personnel,

2216
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:25,480
Speaker 1: put him in the backfield, and then motion him out wide. Well,

2217
01:58:25,480 --> 01:58:28,040
Speaker 1: he's saying put two running. He put in Singletary and

2218
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:31,200
Speaker 1: Cook back at the same time. So if you do

2219
01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 1: that where you're taking Doc Stawson knocks offer McKenzie. Yeah,

2220
01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:38,360
Speaker 1: so it depends on who you take out. But yeah,

2221
01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:41,240
Speaker 1: that's certainly a possibility. I'm sure they probably start tinkering

2222
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:46,600
Speaker 1: with it sometimes. We'll see, particularly if Cook continues to

2223
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:48,840
Speaker 1: make the most of his opportunities, they'll find more for him,

2224
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:50,480
Speaker 1: and that would probably be one of the ways they

2225
01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:52,920
Speaker 1: do it. Steve and I were talking about this even

2226
01:58:52,960 --> 01:58:56,160
Speaker 1: off here a little bit. The thing with James Cook,

2227
01:58:56,200 --> 01:58:58,960
Speaker 1: you can kind of feel it coming just with the

2228
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:03,680
Speaker 1: way he's being you with each passing week, the incremental

2229
01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:07,720
Speaker 1: increase in time on the field, the times in the

2230
01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:12,120
Speaker 1: game when he is used on the field, it's demonstrating

2231
01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:16,000
Speaker 1: that their level of trust in him is growing. Otherwise,

2232
01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 1: you're not putting him on the field in a first

2233
01:59:17,600 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 1: and goal situation, second in goal situation. He was out

2234
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 1: there in the second half when they're down inside the

2235
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 1: red zone. He's a weapon, and splitting him out wide

2236
01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 1: is not an issue at all. They did it with

2237
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 1: him at Georgia. And this isn't a guy that just

2238
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:38,040
Speaker 1: took bubble screens. He ran routes. I mean, I remember

2239
01:59:38,040 --> 01:59:40,440
Speaker 1: the scouting report on him. He's one of the most

2240
01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:42,840
Speaker 1: polished route runners at the running back position in the

2241
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:46,840
Speaker 1: entire draft class. So yeah, that's another element to his game.

2242
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:50,360
Speaker 1: And so I think with each passing week, provided he

2243
01:59:50,480 --> 01:59:53,360
Speaker 1: keeps doing the right things in practice, we're going to

2244
01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:55,960
Speaker 1: see more and more of him going forward, not only

2245
01:59:56,000 --> 01:59:57,480
Speaker 1: because of what he can do on the field, but

2246
01:59:57,520 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 1: as Eric would pointed out just a few minutes ago,

2247
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,000
Speaker 1: to take some of the burden and the load off

2248
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:05,600
Speaker 1: of Singletary, so he's not got so he don't have

2249
02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:07,480
Speaker 1: dead legs when you get to the playoffs. Yeah. I

2250
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:10,320
Speaker 1: think the thing that both of us noticed yesterday was

2251
02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:13,240
Speaker 1: the difference and not only the situations that he was

2252
02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:16,640
Speaker 1: allowed to play in, but the fact that the way

2253
02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:19,800
Speaker 1: the opportunities they gave him were doled out, meaning he

2254
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:21,960
Speaker 1: was in for an entire series. They got the ball

2255
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:23,760
Speaker 1: at first and tent on their twenty or twenty five

2256
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 1: whatever was, and he stayed on the field. He didn't

2257
02:00:27,680 --> 02:00:31,280
Speaker 1: just give Devin Singletary of breath and then come right

2258
02:00:31,360 --> 02:00:33,400
Speaker 1: have Devin come back on. He was on the field

2259
02:00:33,560 --> 02:00:36,960
Speaker 1: as the number one running back throughout the entire series

2260
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:42,320
Speaker 1: and it ended in a touchdown. Did it not field goal? Yeah?

2261
02:00:42,360 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 1: I think it was the field goal. So he and

2262
02:00:44,120 --> 02:00:45,560
Speaker 1: he's the guy that you know, caught that pass that

2263
02:00:45,640 --> 02:00:49,520
Speaker 1: we just saw a highlight of. So it's I think

2264
02:00:49,520 --> 02:00:51,480
Speaker 1: it's the most interesting part about it, and the most

2265
02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:54,480
Speaker 1: telling part about it is that that's changing in a

2266
02:00:54,520 --> 02:00:58,200
Speaker 1: tangible way that we can see it's coming. There was

2267
02:00:58,240 --> 02:01:01,040
Speaker 1: a plan to get him more touch and give him

2268
02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:03,080
Speaker 1: some time to get into a rhythm on the field.

2269
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:06,040
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we come back. You

2270

02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:09,720
Speaker 1: this is gonna be This is gonna be a Halloween edition.

2284
02:02:10,120 --> 02:02:12,360
Speaker 1: Might write about this. This is gonna be a Halloween edition.

2285
02:02:12,480 --> 02:02:15,200
Speaker 1: So I've got awards for each guy and then I'm

2286
02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:17,840
Speaker 1: going to give them a Halloween costume that they would

2287
02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:21,680
Speaker 1: be oh because of this award, right, why not. Let's

2288
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:24,720
Speaker 1: let's play along with Halloween today all about it. So

2289
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:30,200
Speaker 1: we begin with SmackDown. Yep, let's begin with SmackDown. So SmackDown,

2290
02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:34,000
Speaker 1: it's going to step On Diggs. Come on, now, this

2291
02:02:34,120 --> 02:02:37,280
Speaker 1: was a chippy, chippy game. They were john at each other,

2292
02:02:37,400 --> 02:02:40,560
Speaker 1: talking at and talking to each other. Right when they

2293
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:43,920
Speaker 1: ran out of that tump tunnel, there goes Stefon Diggs

2294
02:02:44,280 --> 02:02:48,040
Speaker 1: chirping at Gire Alexander because of what Gyre Alexander said.

2295
02:02:48,280 --> 02:02:50,920
Speaker 1: And it didn't stop during the game. They kept going

2296
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:54,160
Speaker 1: back and forth at each other. The Green Bay Packers defense,

2297
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:57,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offense. It was entertaining to watch as

2298
02:02:57,600 --> 02:03:02,400
Speaker 1: a fan. And Diggs answered because he caught six of

2299
02:03:02,440 --> 02:03:05,120
Speaker 1: eight targets for one hundred and eight receiving yards and

2300
02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:07,800
Speaker 1: had a touchdown on top of that, a great grab

2301
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:10,640
Speaker 1: by the way getting into the end zone. So he

2302
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:15,360
Speaker 1: is our SmackDown Award winner because he won the battle.

2303
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:18,360
Speaker 1: And the Halloween costume that he would be in, he

2304
02:03:18,360 --> 02:03:21,800
Speaker 1: would be going as the Rock because there's a little

2305
02:03:21,840 --> 02:03:24,320
Speaker 1: bit of trash talking, a lot a bit of trash talking,

2306
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:26,480
Speaker 1: and we know that the Rock love to do some

2307
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:29,880
Speaker 1: talking on the mic during his fights. So SmackDown Award

2308
02:03:29,880 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 1: winner Stefan Diggs. He's wearing the rock as his costume.

2309
02:03:36,440 --> 02:03:39,040
Speaker 1: All right, So what's the next The next award we have.

2310
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Next award is wild Child, and that would be Josh Allen.

2311
02:03:44,400 --> 02:03:46,960
Speaker 1: We all know how wild he can be. During games

2312
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:50,480
Speaker 1: that third and fourteen where he picked up twenty yards

2313
02:03:50,520 --> 02:03:52,920
Speaker 1: to grab the first down, it was like he shot

2314
02:03:52,960 --> 02:03:57,400
Speaker 1: out of a cannon, gets hit pretty hard, goes down,

2315
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:01,560
Speaker 1: jumps up like smiling and laughing thing next to the

2316
02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:04,840
Speaker 1: defender who just knocked him down. He is a wild child.

2317
02:04:04,920 --> 02:04:07,839
Speaker 1: He is something else. He is a spaz during games,

2318
02:04:08,040 --> 02:04:10,520
Speaker 1: picked up almost fifty rushing yards on the ground. Some

2319
02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:12,320
Speaker 1: of the runs that he had, some of those throws,

2320
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:15,480
Speaker 1: it's like he got shot up on caffeine and you

2321
02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:17,760
Speaker 1: just can't stop him. So I'm trying to think of,

2322
02:04:18,200 --> 02:04:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, characters who would align with that, and I

2323
02:04:20,960 --> 02:04:25,440
Speaker 1: thought of Jack from The Incredibles Jack Jack, whether he

2324
02:04:25,520 --> 02:04:28,120
Speaker 1: was a baby or when Jack started to get older

2325
02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:31,800
Speaker 1: in some of the later Incredible movies, it was like

2326
02:04:32,080 --> 02:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Jack was a spaz and was going everywhere and had

2327
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:37,800
Speaker 1: these superpowers that sometimes he didn't know how to use.

2328
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:41,000
Speaker 1: Josh has these superpowers where he can break off an

2329
02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:44,120
Speaker 1: epic twenty yard run, pick up a first down, gets

2330
02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:46,640
Speaker 1: smacked to the ground, comes back up, laughing and like,

2331
02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:49,120
Speaker 1: let's do it again. Let's do it again. So that's

2332
02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:53,920
Speaker 1: Spaz energy. He's our wild child and Jack from the Incredibles. Okay,

2333
02:04:54,120 --> 02:04:58,320
Speaker 1: let's move on to the disputer. All right, the disputer,

2334
02:04:58,520 --> 02:05:02,000
Speaker 1: the disruptor, whatever you want to call it. Tim Settle,

2335
02:05:02,520 --> 02:05:05,800
Speaker 1: I was proud of his performance last night. Von Miller

2336
02:05:05,880 --> 02:05:09,680
Speaker 1: said in the postgame interview room on the podium that

2337
02:05:09,920 --> 02:05:12,480
Speaker 1: Tim Settle said, going into the game, you know it's

2338
02:05:12,520 --> 02:05:15,520
Speaker 1: time for me to pick up a sack. Well he

2339
02:05:15,600 --> 02:05:18,440
Speaker 1: did exactly that. He also tipped a pass that ended

2340
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:21,520
Speaker 1: up in a Matt Milano interception. You know, you could

2341
02:05:21,560 --> 02:05:24,040
Speaker 1: go with the penguin here as a costume because he

2342
02:05:24,080 --> 02:05:26,840
Speaker 1: does the penguin dance after he gets the sack. But

2343
02:05:27,080 --> 02:05:29,800
Speaker 1: I was thinking he was so strong in his performance

2344
02:05:29,920 --> 02:05:32,600
Speaker 1: last night. I loved seeing him come alive and being

2345
02:05:32,640 --> 02:05:34,880
Speaker 1: that force that we know that he can be. So

2346
02:05:34,920 --> 02:05:38,160
Speaker 1: he gets the Hulk. He's going as the Hulk for Halloween.

2347
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:40,840
Speaker 1: So now the never give Up award, all right, never

2348
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:43,800
Speaker 1: give up? Matt Milano, man, he could have had three

2349
02:05:43,880 --> 02:05:47,560
Speaker 1: interceptions last night. Stefan Diggs was coming off the podium

2350
02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:50,440
Speaker 1: after talking to the media. Matt Milano was coming onto

2351
02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:52,920
Speaker 1: the podium to talk to the media. Stefan Diggs goes,

2352
02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, you dropped two picks. Which is funny that

2353
02:05:57,160 --> 02:05:59,240
Speaker 1: the team can joke about things like that because the

2354
02:05:59,280 --> 02:06:01,640
Speaker 1: game ended up being a win for the Buffalo Bills.

2355
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:05,200
Speaker 1: But Matt Milano didn't give up, he didn't stop trying

2356
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:09,240
Speaker 1: and eventually was able to pick up at least one interception.

2357
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:11,600
Speaker 1: He's playing out of his mind this year. He played

2358
02:06:11,640 --> 02:06:13,920
Speaker 1: a big part in limiting some of those run plays

2359
02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:17,320
Speaker 1: that the Packers tried to have in last night's game.

2360
02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:19,800
Speaker 1: I know they were successful on some of those. So

2361
02:06:20,080 --> 02:06:24,080
Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't give up, I thought of Rocky, why not?

2362
02:06:24,160 --> 02:06:28,440
Speaker 1: They've got the Italian the Italian thing going on, Italian stallions.

2363
02:06:28,720 --> 02:06:31,560
Speaker 1: He who didn't succeed as at first Rocky, of course,

2364
02:06:31,760 --> 02:06:33,760
Speaker 1: took a couple of rows, took a couple of matches,

2365
02:06:34,080 --> 02:06:37,520
Speaker 1: and then he finally comes up with a victory. Okay,

2366
02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:41,760
Speaker 1: we've got mister reliable coming up next year. All right,

2367
02:06:41,760 --> 02:06:45,520
Speaker 1: mister reliable, that's going to Devin Singletary. They went to

2368
02:06:45,560 --> 02:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary early and often. Yesterday. He averaged almost five

2369
02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:53,920
Speaker 1: yards to carry his fourteen attempts for sixty seven rushing yards.

2370
02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:56,800
Speaker 1: He had one catch for sixteen yards, which was a

2371
02:06:56,840 --> 02:06:59,320
Speaker 1: really nice catch and play by him. He helped the

2372
02:06:59,400 --> 02:07:02,000
Speaker 1: offense arched down the field and really helped the offense

2373
02:07:02,040 --> 02:07:05,120
Speaker 1: stay alive yesterday at a lot of different points, and

2374
02:07:05,160 --> 02:07:08,120
Speaker 1: so I was thinking, okay, I needed some group help

2375
02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:09,960
Speaker 1: on some of these. So so this was when you

2376
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,200
Speaker 1: guys came into the picture and helped me figure out, Okay,

2377
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:16,360
Speaker 1: what would Devin's single Terry go as as a Halloween

2378
02:07:16,480 --> 02:07:18,880
Speaker 1: character as a costume, And you guys helped me come

2379
02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:22,600
Speaker 1: up with Energizer Bunny because you just couldn't stop him

2380
02:07:22,680 --> 02:07:25,840
Speaker 1: yesterday at points which I hope we see a lot

2381
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:28,400
Speaker 1: more of as this rushing offense maybe starts to come

2382
02:07:28,440 --> 02:07:30,160
Speaker 1: alive here in the middle of the season. I know

2383
02:07:30,200 --> 02:07:32,000
Speaker 1: we would love to see that. And we got a

2384
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:34,840
Speaker 1: shout out James Cook too for what we saw from him.

2385
02:07:35,000 --> 02:07:37,400
Speaker 1: We got a little taste of James Cook yesterday. I

2386
02:07:37,440 --> 02:07:39,839
Speaker 1: know we all want a little bit more. So kudos

2387
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,920
Speaker 1: to Devin's single Terry James Cook for helping the offense

2388
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:45,720
Speaker 1: get going and stay going. Yesterday, it's right nice. It

2389
02:07:45,760 --> 02:07:49,120
Speaker 1: was a nice Halloween celebration. A lot of some costumes

2390
02:07:49,120 --> 02:07:51,880
Speaker 1: in the stands and some other people. At last, the

2391
02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:55,360
Speaker 1: shout out awards outward. Go ahead, all right, I'm shouting

2392
02:07:55,360 --> 02:07:57,680
Speaker 1: out my family. They came in town for the game.

2393
02:07:57,760 --> 02:08:00,160
Speaker 1: They're from Chicago. We grew up as Bears fans. It's

2394
02:08:00,160 --> 02:08:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot of you know that already. And the Bears

2395
02:08:03,080 --> 02:08:05,520
Speaker 1: haven't had the most football team in the last several years,

2396
02:08:05,520 --> 02:08:09,320
Speaker 1: and so they hate the Green Bay Packers and they

2397
02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 1: just really wanted to see Aaron Rodgers lose in a game.

2398
02:08:12,480 --> 02:08:15,000
Speaker 1: So they drove all the way to Buffalo to watch

2399
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:17,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers get stomped on. And it happened. So shout

2400
02:08:17,960 --> 02:08:19,760
Speaker 1: out to the fan for for being there to witness

2401
02:08:19,800 --> 02:08:22,040
Speaker 1: it all. So a fun drive home, then a fun

2402
02:08:22,120 --> 02:08:26,120
Speaker 1: drive home, a victory Monday drive home. Yeah, that's commitment,

2403
02:08:26,200 --> 02:08:28,520
Speaker 1: I'll say, to come all this way just to see

2404
02:08:28,520 --> 02:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers lose. I'm glad the Bills held up. There.

2405
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:36,680
Speaker 1: Would your family drive somewhere else to see like Tom

2406
02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:40,840
Speaker 1: Brady get his head caved in? Oh yeah, you know, it.

2407
02:08:42,040 --> 02:08:44,160
Speaker 1: They went to Tampa last year hoping to see it,

2408
02:08:44,320 --> 02:08:46,560
Speaker 1: but it didn't happen in overtime thanks to the refs.

2409
02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:48,680
Speaker 1: But that was with their team playing. This is yes,

2410
02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:52,520
Speaker 1: even their team. Yeah, go to Cleveland. That's a good point.

2411
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think they would travel. Um, yeah, if

2412
02:08:56,160 --> 02:08:57,840
Speaker 1: the Bills were on like a bye week or something

2413
02:08:57,880 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 1: and you had a chance to see Brady. Although what

2414
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:03,520
Speaker 1: are we like three years removed from that now, like

2415
02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:06,200
Speaker 1: he's he's been out for three years. One of your

2416
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:09,840
Speaker 1: kids was working for the team. Yeah, yeah you would, maybe,

2417
02:09:09,960 --> 02:09:12,800
Speaker 1: yeah you would. I would. Yeah. We don't have the

2418
02:09:12,920 --> 02:09:15,320
Speaker 1: dark board in the basement with Brady's face on it anymore.

2419
02:09:16,120 --> 02:09:19,320
Speaker 1: We scrapped that. So we've what we like to think,

2420
02:09:19,320 --> 02:09:21,800
Speaker 1: we've improved as humans. So I was never one of

2421
02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:24,320
Speaker 1: those guys that bad mouth players like that everything, But

2422
02:09:25,560 --> 02:09:29,600
Speaker 1: my kids they did it for you a deep dark

2423
02:09:30,040 --> 02:09:32,760
Speaker 1: oh yeah, hatred of that guy, well, which I didn't,

2424
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:35,080
Speaker 1: don't you know, even I don't have it like they.

2425
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:37,600
Speaker 1: And my son's eighteen, so just think about that, his

2426
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:43,160
Speaker 1: entire child. My kids are ruined. Yeah, I'm right there

2427
02:09:43,200 --> 02:09:46,320
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, ruined by Tom Brady all you know. Yeah,

2428
02:09:46,600 --> 02:09:51,320
Speaker 1: there's a there is a hatred of them. Did they

2429
02:09:51,320 --> 02:09:53,240
Speaker 1: feel the same way about Brett Farve? I mean when

2430
02:09:53,240 --> 02:09:55,160
Speaker 1: they was playing, probably I think they had a little

2431
02:09:55,160 --> 02:09:58,760
Speaker 1: bit more respect for Brett Farve really, just because he

2432
02:09:59,200 --> 02:10:02,960
Speaker 1: at least in our eyes. So my brother's sister, they're

2433
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:05,920
Speaker 1: younger than me, and you got to see him do

2434
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:09,360
Speaker 1: all these incredible things. I think now now looking back,

2435
02:10:09,880 --> 02:10:12,280
Speaker 1: while you're in it, you're like, I hate this quarterback.

2436
02:10:12,280 --> 02:10:13,800
Speaker 1: But now that he's not a part of the game,

2437
02:10:13,840 --> 02:10:16,280
Speaker 1: I know he's involved in some other things now. But

2438
02:10:16,560 --> 02:10:18,520
Speaker 1: Red Farr was kind of that happy, go lucky guy.

2439
02:10:18,600 --> 02:10:20,160
Speaker 1: He was kind of hard to hear, you know what

2440
02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers, he never seemed to take

2441
02:10:24,200 --> 02:10:27,480
Speaker 1: himself that seriously. So it's Aaron Rodgers always portrays himself

2442
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:29,680
Speaker 1: as the smartest guy in the room, and you know,

2443
02:10:29,760 --> 02:10:33,000
Speaker 1: I know more than you do. And good stuff made

2444
02:10:34,480 --> 02:10:36,840
Speaker 1: all right. So those are the Maddie Awards, presented by

2445
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:41,680
Speaker 1: Energy Mark, the official energy supplier of the Buffalo Bills. Maddie,

2446

2447
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:46,680
Speaker 1: Let's do it all right. We will take a break here,

2448
02:10:46,960 --> 02:10:50,240
Speaker 1: Steve and I to close things up on a Bill's

2449
02:10:50,280 --> 02:10:52,600
Speaker 1: victory Monday next here on one Bill's Live, Stay tuned

2450
02:11:04,440 --> 02:11:07,320
Speaker 1: time for the Vision to Victory, presented by at Wall

2451
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:12,840
Speaker 1: I Care, the official I Care provider of the Buffalo Bills. Steve.

2452
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:15,320
Speaker 1: How they get there? How how'd they pull that one

2453
02:11:15,360 --> 02:11:18,400
Speaker 1: off ten point win against Green Bay? Zoom out to

2454
02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:20,280
Speaker 1: a lead, zoom out to a lead, taken out of

2455
02:11:20,280 --> 02:11:23,880
Speaker 1: gear and coast in for the second last two and

2456
02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:28,880
Speaker 1: a half quarters, No, that's last two quarters. Basically, the

2457
02:11:28,880 --> 02:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Bills were a better football team. They showed it in

2458
02:11:30,920 --> 02:11:33,960
Speaker 1: the first half by a mile, and then they allowed

2459
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:39,760
Speaker 1: the Packers to really strangle themselves with the clock. They

2460
02:11:39,800 --> 02:11:43,240
Speaker 1: just ran out of possessions. They got a key stop there.

2461
02:11:43,520 --> 02:11:46,000
Speaker 1: I think this is a Bills team that played very

2462
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:47,880
Speaker 1: well offensively in the first half and ran out to

2463
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:51,600
Speaker 1: that lead, and defensively was like a bull constrictor just

2464
02:11:51,640 --> 02:11:54,520
Speaker 1: strangled him in the second half. The one play that

2465
02:11:54,600 --> 02:11:57,480
Speaker 1: really was the game was after an eleven play forty

2466
02:11:57,480 --> 02:12:00,760
Speaker 1: eight yard drive going forward on fourth and one half yard,

2467
02:12:01,160 --> 02:12:03,960
Speaker 1: the Bill stopped him and by then when you look up,

2468
02:12:04,160 --> 02:12:07,880
Speaker 1: they're seventeen points down and there's just not enough time

2469
02:12:07,880 --> 02:12:09,920
Speaker 1: in the game. Yea, even though there was most of

2470
02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:12,480
Speaker 1: a quarter left. I would say the interesting part of

2471
02:12:12,520 --> 02:12:15,920
Speaker 1: the victory was the way the run game was utilized

2472
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:18,440
Speaker 1: to kick start the offense. After a quick three and

2473
02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:21,240
Speaker 1: out to start the game, Dorsey went to the ground

2474
02:12:21,240 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 1: attack with good success and the line blocked well, they

2475
02:12:25,880 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 1: moved the ball down the field and then Josh kind

2476
02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:31,840
Speaker 1: of is the human eraser and covers up a third

2477
02:12:31,840 --> 02:12:36,520
Speaker 1: and fourteen with a twenty yards scramble, and by halftime,

2478
02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:39,080
Speaker 1: you know they've got over one hundred yards rushing in

2479
02:12:39,080 --> 02:12:43,160
Speaker 1: their averaging eight point two a carry. So the vision

2480
02:12:43,200 --> 02:12:45,720
Speaker 1: for me was kind of turning to the ground game

2481
02:12:45,720 --> 02:12:47,760
Speaker 1: to kick start the offense, which we don't see all

2482
02:12:47,760 --> 02:12:51,720
Speaker 1: that often with the way this offense functions. So that

2483
02:12:51,840 --> 02:12:54,880
Speaker 1: was an interesting path to victory I thought. I did

2484
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:59,000
Speaker 1: like I still believe that the Bill's coaching staff made

2485
02:12:59,040 --> 02:13:01,800
Speaker 1: some critical adjustments that got them, that got them going,

2486
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:03,720
Speaker 1: Like the adjustment right out of the gate after the

2487
02:13:03,760 --> 02:13:07,440
Speaker 1: first series. I thought the Bills defense really had a

2488
02:13:07,520 --> 02:13:10,960
Speaker 1: game plan and it was kind of nerve racking for fans.

2489
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:13,520
Speaker 1: I just the Bills refused to go out of their

2490
02:13:13,560 --> 02:13:16,320
Speaker 1: nickel defense. It seemed like the Packers were dedicated to

2491
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:20,040
Speaker 1: establishing a run game, and they weren't gonna budge and

2492
02:13:20,120 --> 02:13:22,200
Speaker 1: neither were the Bills. Bills weren't gonna get give up

2493
02:13:22,240 --> 02:13:25,160
Speaker 1: anything cheaper d and the Bills defense said, okay, you can,

2494
02:13:25,280 --> 02:13:27,720
Speaker 1: you can take these long drive stuff. But we know this,

2495
02:13:27,800 --> 02:13:29,920
Speaker 1: and I told you this. The really good teams in

2496
02:13:29,960 --> 02:13:32,360
Speaker 1: the NFL, the Bills, the Chiefs of the Philly, the

2497
02:13:32,360 --> 02:13:35,880
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, a couple of other teams around. You gotta

2498
02:13:35,960 --> 02:13:38,480
Speaker 1: score with them. And that's what it takes to beat

2499
02:13:38,520 --> 02:13:41,080
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. You gotta score with those guys. When

2500
02:13:41,080 --> 02:13:43,480
Speaker 1: you get Buffalo against Kansas City, you got to keep

2501
02:13:43,560 --> 02:13:46,520
Speaker 1: up on the scoreboard. You can't give them an extra

2502
02:13:46,560 --> 02:13:51,000
Speaker 1: possession with a lead. And the Packers didn't realize, didn't

2503
02:13:51,040 --> 02:13:54,520
Speaker 1: think that, and that was their mistake. It was because

2504
02:13:54,560 --> 02:13:56,680
Speaker 1: they ran out of time and ran out of possessions

2505
02:13:57,080 --> 02:13:58,880
Speaker 1: and what was a three score game that they could

2506
02:13:58,880 --> 02:14:01,920
Speaker 1: only make a two score game and not better after that.

2507
02:14:01,920 --> 02:14:05,280
Speaker 1: That's it for us today on This Bill's Victory Monday Tomorrow,

2508
02:14:05,400 --> 02:14:07,720
Speaker 1: show starts at one and we'll have the Hall of

2509
02:14:07,720 --> 02:14:09,760
Speaker 1: Famer Thurman Thomas with us. We'll see you tomorrow
