1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: Oh, good time. Watch Team Tapper gone touchdown touchdown times.

2
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, everybody. It is Thursday. It is

3
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: one Bills live and that if you're watching on MSG

4
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: is inside of new air field snow removal going on.

5
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: I think they have high school games there this week. No,

6
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: or is that all that? Look at? I got that

7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: truck running out of there. The field looks great. There

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: is still here in Archer Park a little more overnight. Right,

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: do you get a little snow in easter run? We

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: gotta hell like a half inch? Yeah, half inch? Nothing,

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: that's nothing. Man headed to Miami where it's seventy five degrees.

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: The Bills are and they're practicing indoors today. Good afternoon.

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm John Murphy. This is Team Task. You're welcome to

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio on Archerpark. Welcome to our show. We

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: are here for the next three hours or show with

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: a good show to get you set for the Bills

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: in the Miami Dolphins game. UM helped get him, sad.

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: We got another show to do tomorrow. We get him

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: like put the little tippy top on the cake in

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: this tough act to follow. I thought yesterday show was

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: one of the finest shows we've ever I really did.

22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: It was Fitz part of me while I pat you

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: on the back. No, it wasn't It wasn't me. It

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: was just it was the show. The topics discussed, the

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: calls were great yesterday, Field Yates was solid, Aran Johnson

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: was solid. Fits was great. It wasn't me. I just

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: thought it was a great show. It was. It was

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 1: we got big shoes, it was. It's pretty lively around

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: here these days with the middle of the season, because

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: you know how it is in May, June, July when

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: it's a ghost town out here and we're you know,

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: we've got nothing to talk about. But and this in

33
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: a season like this, when the Bills are six and three,

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: winning twice as often as they lose, and the defense

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: is playing really good, and that, you know, the offense

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: just always seems on the cusp of breaking loose. You know,

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: it's fun to watch. Yeah, it's fun to watch. It's

38
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: been a fun It's gonna be a fun season. I

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: think at the second half too. You know, I told

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: you I went to Wegman's yesterday afternoon after the show,

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: and that one not to it with three different gentlemen

42
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: told me how good. The show was yesterday and that

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: got me thinking, I think, and they started and they

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: started talking about what they should do with the Josh. Yeah,

45
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: I said, not likely to happen. You've got You've got

46
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: to You've got to engage in that conversation. Though. If

47
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: they're nice enough to tell you they listen to this show,

48
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: you kind of got to listen to what they say.

49
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm with you though, that you hear it all the

50
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: time people and they chime in on the show because

51
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: you can. You can tell they recite stuff that I

52
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: said or we said or talked about, so you know

53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: they were just listening at some point during the show.

54
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: And it happens all the time, and sometimes it's fun.

55
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: I love talking people feel guilt. Do you ever get

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: people apologizing for talking to you yet? Oh I'm sorry.

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: I know you didn't want to talk about this. Yeah

58
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: I do. I do. I do. I like talking about

59
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: That's why I do what I do because I love

60
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: talking about it, especially this team. And it's been fun.

61
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Last year when Josh started playing games, it started and

62
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: it hasn't stopped yet. I cannot wait to see the

63
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: team play again. Yeah, you know, even last year when

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: they were you know, they were playing good, but they

65
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: weren't winning games, you know, and it obviously carries over

66
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: this year when they're winning and and all these games

67
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: we've kind of and I make it all the time,

68
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: this kind of game we're gonna be in where it's

69
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a close game this weekend too. I think

70
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: it's I'm telling you it's gonna be a close game, Murph.

71
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Miami may not be very good.

72
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: They may be on a two game winning stream. They

73
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, Fises, their quarterback. We beat them by ten

74
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: the last time, and they're less. You know, they got

75
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: guys hurt that really hurt us last time, so it

76
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: looks bad for him. It's good. It's gonna be a

77
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: close game. It might be. Most games in the league

78
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: are close. But let me say this. I've watched one,

79
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: and I have two Dolphins games their last two the

80
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Jets and the Colts, and they want them both. They're

81
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: still not that good. There's still not a whole lot

82
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: of talent there. A week ago, I just said this

83
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: to you before we went on the air. A week ago.

84
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: We were sat here today, you know, Thursday, talking about Man,

85
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: the Browns are talented. I know what their record is,

86
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: two and six, but they got talent. They have mismaicns

87
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: issues all over the field this week, not even close.

88
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: The mismatches favorite buffalo, the matchup's favorite buffalo. This week,

89
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: they don't match up. Now, they've won a couple and

90
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: they're playing hard. I'll give them that. But which one

91
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers since chills down your spine? Demante Parker,

92
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Albert Wilson, Jachin Grant, I don't think so. Do you

93
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: really worry a whole lot about Kaylin Balage the running

94
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: back or how about his back up? Patrick Lair? Ever

95
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: heard of him? I don't think so fits his fits.

96
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: We know fits the tin end. Giseki's pretty good and

97
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: he's had a couple of good games. Defense. Who are

98
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: you worried about Kristen Wilkins first rounder? He's pretty good.

99
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I saw the Colts basically double team him on every

100
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: snap because there's no one else where a double teaming

101
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: up front for Miami. You know their first round pick

102
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: is it ray Kwon McMillan. He's a decent inside linebacker.

103
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: On the back end. I think they get Richard Jones

104
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: back this week and he didn't even play against Buffalo

105
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: a month ago. But there's a bunch of no names

106
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: back there. I mean, look, this is not a talented

107
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: Miami team. They want a couple in a row. I'm

108
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: not overlooking him. It doesn't matter if I overlook him.

109
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: By the way, the Bills won't, these players won't. I'm

110
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: just telling you they're not a very good team. They're

111
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: two and seven, and they look like a two and

112
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: seven team that's destined for four wins maybe at the

113
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: end of the y. Yeah, that's what I say. So

114
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna be close. Most games are. It's gonna be close.

115
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, it's gonna be It's gonna

116
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: be within a touchdown. That's the way it is. Um.

117
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: Those guys, even though we haven't heard of them, they're

118
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: playing on for the Miami Dolphins for a reason. And

119
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: it's not Yeah right, they're trying to lose from the

120
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: top end. They're trying to I'm telling you right now,

121
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a close game. They're gonna give you

122
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: a full effort. They're gonna play hard, they're gonna give

123
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: it their best shot, and they're gonna they're gonna have

124
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: a chance they're gonna be in this game, you know

125
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna be They're gonna be close, and they're gonna

126
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: pull out some things that we haven't seen. They're gonna

127
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: have a plan for stopping Josh Allen, forcing Josh Allen

128
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: to beat them left handed. And quite frankly, the Bills

129
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: margin of error isn't that big that because the margin

130
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: of errors on their offensive side. You know, their defense

131
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: is solid, and I would say that Dolphins are gonna

132
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: have a hard time scoring a lot of points against

133
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: our defense. I guess the Bills defense the way it's constructed,

134
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: down the way they're seasons progressing, but our offense is

135
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: challenged to score points and has been now. We've always

136
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: said and I still believe it. They've got a big

137
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: engine under the hood, and some point that they're going

138
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: to get into a point where the quarterbacks gonna be

139
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: able to read it right where is it? They'n been

140
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: able to find it. So if they do, then all

141
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: bets are off. But they have not been able to

142
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: do that yet. And I think this game is going

143
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: to be just like the rest of these games that

144
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of them. I think the Bills

145
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: no question. I think the Bills are a better team

146
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: both on paper and on the field, but you still

147
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: got to play, and the Bills don't run off and

148
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: leaf teams on the scoreboard. This could be the game.

149
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: I think this could be the game where they run off.

150
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm just I think it's going to be a close game.

151
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are going to score like they've

152
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: scored in other games, and it's going to be up

153
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins to put some points on against this defense.

154
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: All right, I think this is the game where the

155
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense breaks out. You see that? Yeah? Yeah, I

156
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: think they're ready and one of the no I do.

157
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look there, I agree that there are weapons.

158
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: There's so many more off of weapons on Buffalo than

159
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: in Miami. It's not even close. They've been underutilized. They've

160
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: underperformed offensively. It's not a play calling issue. It's an

161
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: execution issue from the quarterback and the rest of them too.

162
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: This is the week that ends, I think. Do you

163
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: think it's because Buffalo is gonna do it? Or is

164
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: it because of the Dolphins? A little both, A little

165
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: bit of both. Look, the Dolphins are interesting on defense,

166
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: and I see him playing differently than they played a

167
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: month ago. Coming into the game, they look they of course,

168
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Brian Flowers comes from the Patriots. There's a little bit

169
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: of a kind of a Patriots look to their defense. Right.

170
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: There are a couple of plays where they lined up

171
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: one defensive lineman and all you know midsize linebackers. They

172
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: just they show you different looks and they'll do that.

173
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: And it's got to be out of desperation, right, And

174
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they won two in a row, big deal.

175
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: They haven't found the Holy Grail here, but um, it's

176
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: doubt of desperation. The stuff they do on defense. The

177
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: back end of their defense. Steve and again Richard Jones,

178
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: who missed the Buffalo game a month ago. They say

179
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: he's likely to play and they need him. He's playing

180
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: like eight guys on the back end. You know, they

181
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: moved Bobby McCain over to play safety. He's a cornerback.

182
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: He's playing safety. Now. They have Ken Webster, who's the starter.

183
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Nick Needham. You ever hear him, rookie, undrafted rookie. He

184
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: starts at corner. Eric Rowe, former Patriot. He gets a

185
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: lot of corner snaps. They played Jamal Wilts, They play

186
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: former Bill Ryan Lewis, they they play Chris Lammon's they

187
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: played basically everybody on the back end because none of

188
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: them can play, quite frankly, and I think the Bills

189
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: can do some damage against this group. I really do

190
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: thri there can the Bills be even better this week

191
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: if they play fearless? Good point? And that is that

192
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: kind of help him? Good point. I mean, that's the

193
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: big story of the day, and we're gonna get to that.

194
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the big word coming out of one

195
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Bill's drive. Well, let's let you hear it. Sean McDermott

196
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: told his team to play fearless. Apparently that's what Josh

197
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: Allen told the media yesterday. Here's Josh talking about it

198
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: yesterday at his post practice news conference. The instructions the

199
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: team got from Sean McDermot yesterday. Listen to Josh Allen

200
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: sat us all down today and say, you know, play fearless,

201
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, so to have that you know, green light

202
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: and that confidence from him still like you know that

203
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: that means a lot and not saying I'm gonna go

204
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: out there and be reckless, and there's there are two

205
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: different terms for a reason. So just being very very

206
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: aware of what's going on, but not trying to be

207
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: gun shy on anything like it. Now. He set the

208
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: team down and say play fearless. It wasn't just Josh,

209
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: it was everybody and that is important Distinctioneer. That's where

210
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: we want to talk about. It is our Twitter question today.

211
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: No pole again today. But McDermott told his team to

212
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: play fearless, and we ask you the question, what do

213
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: you think that means? Was he mostly talking to Josh,

214
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: like put it out there and throw it up there,

215
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: go for it, don't be afraid to throw it deep,

216
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: or don't be afraid that you're gonna under throw it

217
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: and throw it too long? Or was he talking to

218
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: the whole team And if so, what does he mean?

219
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: What does Sean McDermott mean the fact yesterday that he

220
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: sat his team down, according to Josh Allen and told

221
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: them to play fearless. What do you think that means?

236
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: as well. But the question of the day, what does

237
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: it mean? What does Sean McDermott mean when he tells

238
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: his team to play fearless? What do you think it means?

239
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: Let's hear from you eight h three five fifty toll free.

240

241
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: Let's hear your tweets from the tweet sheet brought to

242
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official movers of the

243
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Steve what he got there. It doesn't take

244
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: long for people to chime in. We're getting a lot

245
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: of feedback on it already from Tiffany. She says, to

246
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: play fearless, I believe is to be confident that if

247
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: you lay it on the line, giving it everything you have,

248
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: no matter what the outcome, He's going to have their back.

249
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: That means mcdermot's going to have the players backs. They're

250
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna be in it together. Also from Connor, I think

251
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: we're going to get the old Josh Allen back, explosive plays,

252
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: but also possibly some silly turnovers. We will see which

253
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: of those is worth it to get the win versus Miami.

254
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's the thought. And it comes

255
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: down to you, right, Murph. If you're gonna cut it loose,

256
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna put your lay yourself out there and be

257
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: vulnerable to having it go the other way. And how

258
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: many of those can you stand against any team in

259
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, Miami or anybody else and still win games. Well,

260
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing I want to get to first when

261
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: we talk about this, what does McDermott mean. Is he

262
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: just talking to Josh about Josh? Did you tell the

263
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: whole team so it didn't focus in on Josh? I

264
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: don't know. Only Sean can answer that question. As Josh

265
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Allen said, he set the whole team down and maybe

266
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: think about it in those terms. To McDermott says it

267
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: to Josh, play fearless. What does it mean when he

268
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: says it to the defense, go ahead and go out

269
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: there and play fearless. What does it mean when he

270
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: says it to the receivers, play fearless. I don't know

271
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: the answer to this. I think it is a good

272
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: message to deliver to Josh Allen. You didn't tell him

273
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: to play reckless. You didn't tell him to play stupid.

274
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: He didn't tell him to take a lot of chances

275
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: with the ball. I'm sure they want him to protect

276
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: the ball, but play fearless, right, throw it into some

277
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: tight windows, get back to you know, let's make some

278
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: plays here on offense. I think my interpretation is that

279
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: is what he's looking for, don't you think. And I

280
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: think he said it to the whole team. He didn't

281
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: say it to Josh. And it's interesting and certainly, you

282
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: know Josh is part of the team. But I wonder

283
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: makes you wonder what's he see that made him send

284
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: them that message. It can't be just one guy like Josh.

285
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: And Josh said, maybe I didn't want to throw the

286
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: pick and want to do that, trying to be judicious

287
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: with his throws, that kind of thing. Maybe that's why

288
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: the long ball hasn't hit this Year's because he's overthrown

289
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: guys because he doesn't want to throw a fifty fifty

290
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: ball in there, that kind of thing. And I'm sure

291
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: some of that is it is it, But there's no

292
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: question this was a message to the whole team. And

293
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: was there something else he's seen in his defense in

294
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: the way they're defending the run. Isn't there in their

295
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: past defense in their and their dbs or whatever. Yeah,

296
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: that's what I'm curious, is there? Yeah, what's he see?

297
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Or maybe it's in the attitude they displayed early in

298
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: the week or late last week, or it's at some

299
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: point the recent passed about how they're preparing. Isn't you

300
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: know they what are they talking about? How are their

301
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: conversations going in the meetings? Um? And you know what,

302
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: there's nothing else too. There's something else too. There's a

303
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: whole coaching staff in the room too. Yeah, that message

304
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: is for them as well, and so it's Um, it's

305
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: really interesting to think about what Sean McDermott might see

306
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: in his team's attitude in their preparation, or what he

307
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: what he expects this message to do to the outcome

308
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: of this game, and what does it kind of look

309
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: like on the the most the most proximate source of

310
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: reference is the Cleveland game. Does McDermott look at the

311
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland game and say, uh, we went into that game.

312
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if the answer I don't know what

313
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: they're saying, if what the answer is here? Does mcmurh.

314
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: Does McDermott look at that game and say, we went

315
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: into that game afraid to lose to a two and sixteen,

316
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: and we did it. I wonder did he see that?

317
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Did you see that? I've been

318
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: necessarily see that or maybe going in not Maybe it

319
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: was and we're just spent. We have no idea what

320
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: if this is true? But I see it could have been.

321
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if our guys went in there. Maybe

322
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: Trdavious White went in and played fearless. But I don't

323
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: know if anybody else was looking at their matchup thinking, hey,

324
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm better than Miles Garrett, you know, or I'm I'm

325
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: better than Nick Chubb. I don't know, if you know

326
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: how good are these this talent, this Cleveland teams two

327
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: and six, But they're really talented. I don't you know

328
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: what I mean, going in their second guessing your ability

329
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: to match up with those guys because they are named players,

330
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: they do have some some personal accomplishments around their roster

331
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: all over on both sides of the ball. Maybe his

332
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: team went in there a little tentative. Maybe he's it's

333
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: a message concerning that the way they looked on Sunday.

334
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: Maybe he saw something on game day that made him think,

335
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't think our guys are confident

336
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: they can beat this team as talented as they are,

337
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: to forget the record, you know what I'm saying. Maybe

338
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that in there. And certainly

339
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, you think, man, if

340
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: that was the case, if they had to come out

341
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: guns blazing, they would have beaten that team. That's that's

342
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: how close that game was. Maybe he needs to get

343
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: that into them. Yeah, there's a lot in there. Yeah,

344
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot to that, and I think it applies

345
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: to this week too. Here's another team that struggles, obviously,

346
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins two and seven. Just my amateur opinion is

347
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: they don't have anywhere near the talent Cleveland has. They

348
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: don't have anywhere near the talent the Buffalo Bills have.

349
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: And I think McDermot probably says, boy, the last thing

350
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: I need is a team that is on shaky footing,

351
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, is terms of confidence, like doesn't believe that

352
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: they're good. Maybe McDermott thinks, I want these guys to

353
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: know that they're better than these guys, that they should

354
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: beat these guys, and if they go all out and

355
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: play fearlessly, they can beat these guys. I think that

356
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: that's probably a good message to deliver. I think you

357
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: may have done that yesterday. I think you're right. I

358
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: think there's something too that it makes some sense given

359
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: what we know about the team and how they've played recently,

360
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: and and certainly this Dolphins team is a team that

361
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: you'd have to think their confidence is a little bit fragile.

362
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: But they've won two straight and beating something. Now. They

363
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: beat a backup quarterback to the backup quarterback against Indianapolis

364
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: this last week. I mean, as the guy who is

365
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: the third quarterback when the season began, or before Andrew

366
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: Luck retired. Yeah, Jacoby Brissette didn't play for the Colts

367
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: this last week, and then the week before that they

368
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: beat the New York Jets in a divisional you know,

369
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: in a divisional matchup which you're always closer. I don't know,

370
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: but I know this, I don't think. I think Sean

371
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: McDermott saw something in his team's attitude and the vibe

372
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: of that locker room that he didn't like too much,

373
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: and he said, listen, let's go. You know, what do

374
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: you think if you're listening in give us a call

375
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: eight three fifty toll free one eight eight eight five

376
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Send it a tweet. We can

377
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: read around the tweet sheet. What do you think McDermott

378
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: meant when he told his team to play fearless? In

379
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: the team meeting yesterday, Mitch Morris Bill Center was asked

380
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: that question. Here's what he had to say. What did

381
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: McDermott mean when he said play fearless? I think there's

382
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: something too bad. We don't need to change everything just

383
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: because we lost one again, but I think we need

384
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: to look at what gets us stuck in certain situations.

385
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: And when you think too much in the football field,

386
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: you don't play us fast. And that doesn't mean don't

387
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: think so that means be confident in yourself, confident in

388
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: a group of guys with you, you know, maybe sometimes

389
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: less as more communication department, and go out and just

390
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: play football. I wish it was as easy as that,

391
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: but something definitely gonna work on and something that each

392
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: person works on. I think you heard bitch More say,

393
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: and you talk about confidence, right, it's basically a confidence thing. Yeah,

394
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: and I you can if you can put yourself in

395
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 1: the position of a guy who's going to go out

396
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: and play a game or whatever, and you're the guy

397
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: who's coaching it says, hey, go play fearless, let's go,

398
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: it does kind of give you a little boost of

399
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: adrenaline to say, Okay, let's you know, I'll let's go.

400
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: Let's just jump into the fray. Uh. It's and it

401
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: will permeate all aspects of the team, the coaches, the players.

402
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Play selection gives the coaching staff a little bit you know, everything,

403
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: say hey, this is a play that's you know, let's

404
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: roll the dice here, let's go. And then the players

405
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: will say, okay, let's play some fearless football, you know.

406
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: And when everybody starts to jump on that bandwagon, when

407
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: the players feel the play calls are a little different

408
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: because of the fearless attitude. When a guy when the

409
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: quarterback drops back and he sees his receivers being more physical,

410
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: or or are guys out there in the receivers are

411
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: out there and you line up in a more physical

412
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: posture defensively and you kind of get your hands on

413
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: guys a little quicker and a little harder. You know,

414
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: it does start to become a mindset that grows. And

415
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: I think that's probably you know, that's part of the

416
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: message Sean McDermott. He wants a little bit more edginess

417
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: on this team probably, Um. And let's face it, when

418
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: you get stuck in this process, this process, this process,

419
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: it starts to become a little bit emotionless, and that's

420
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: something you got to fight again. You gotta fight against it.

421
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: Take a quick call on this topic, Ryan, and go

422
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: on to what do you think, Ryan, what do you

423
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: think McDermott meant when he told his team to play fearlessly?

424
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: What do you think that meant? Well? Um, nerves kicking

425
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: a little bit when you know at a high level

426
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: and you know a group of guys around they're all new,

427
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: But I think they got a band together and give

428
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: each other confidence and yeah, so well if they might

429
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: throw a couple of interceptions, Josh Allen, you know what,

430
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: they have a confidence of the other teammates and they

431
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: go forward and saw midway to this season and they

432
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: could still win the rest of the games. Sure, I

433
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: think so. I just found it interesting that Josh Allen

434
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: said that, I mean unsolicited. You know, nobody asked him

435
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: the question, Hey, what did coach mcdermots say to you

436
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: guys in the meeting today? He didn't, he didn't answer.

437
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: That was not the question. He brought it up. Josh

438
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: Allen brought it up, which leads me to believe that

439
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: that was the message that Josh Allen got. Right, that's

440
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: the primary message he got. And I'm sure mcdermot's like, good,

441
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: they listened. He got my message. Yeah, Josh wanted to

442
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: talk about it was Yeah, I think it was big

443
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, you know, it sounds seems like it

444
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: was a big deal to him to have his coach

445
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: say that. And that'll be interesting to see how it

446
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: how it plays out for him on Sunday. That's because

447
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna we'll see it. Yeah, right, I

448
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: think the Bills roll in this game. I really do

449
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: you do? I do? I do. I'll give you a

450
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: score tomorrow, a guest score that is so unlike you. Look,

451
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: I watched I watched the Dolphins a month ago, and

452
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: I know I told you they weren't even like a

453
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: real NFL team, And they've beatn a couple of teams

454
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: now they're playing hard. Flores is doing a decent job.

455
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: Fits as fits. We love fits. There's just not a

456
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: whole lot of players on that team, see either side

457
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: of the ball. They're just not a whole lot. They

458
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: beat a bad Jets team and a bad Colts team.

459
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, we'll see. We're gonna take a break. We're

460
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: gonna go to practice with Chris Brown. When we come back,

461
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm on back with us. One Bills Live. Just getting rolling.

462
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: We're presented by Kalida Health Live from the Seneca Studio,

463
00:20:46,480 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 1: Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes close. Welcome back One

464
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, John Murphy and Steve Tsker from our one

465
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Studio, the Seneca Studio and Orchard Park front end

466
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: of the a AD Pro Sports Training Center. In the

467
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: other side of the wall. Over there, It's Bills practice

468
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: time and the Buffalo Bills at practice on the Thursday yesterday,

469
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: outdoors today indoors, getting set to play the Dolphins. And

470
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills inside a Buffalo Bills Dot com standing

471
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: by on the sidelines inside the fieldhouse at practice. Good afternoon, Chris.

472
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: A little warmer than you were yesterday, obviously, right. That's

473
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: right inside and no reason to really be outside. You're

474
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: gonna be playing in Miami on Sunday, so they got

475
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: the doors closed and everything, so a true indoor field

476
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: if you will. Ye, Hey, Chris, our Twitter question today

477
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: and it came about from something Josh Allen said yesterday.

478
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: He said coach McDermott sat the entire team down at

479
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: their normal Wednesday meeting yesterday and told them he wanted

480
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: them to play fearless, play fearlessly this week against the Dolphins.

481
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: What do you think at play here? What's going on

482
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: with that? I think there's a measure of concern, probably

483
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: on the part of the coaching staff that maybe some

484
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: of the play out on the field is too robotic,

485
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: maybe too hesitant for fear of making a mistake out

486
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: there on the field, and this game moves way too

487
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: fast to be afraid to make a mistake. I think

488
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: you just got to go with your gut. Yes, film

489
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: study is a part of that and prepares you to

490
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: execute properly, but playing a perfect game with the speed

491
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: at which this game is played is almost impossible. And

492
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: so I think what coach would rather have is his

493
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: team playing fast and not afraid to make a mistake,

494
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: rather than being hesitant for an extra quarter to a

495
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: half of a second for fear of making mistake and

496
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: then not executing the play that was designed in the

497
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: first place. So I think that's kind of where he's

498
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: coming from on that. Well, how do you think that'll

499
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: play itself out on Sunday? Your guess is as good

500
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: as mine, Steve. You can say all the right things

501
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: about how you want to approach the game, but when

502
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: the rubber meets the road and you got to make

503
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: a play or a decision in the snap of a finger,

504
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: you know who knows what the success rate's gonna be.

505
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: I think you just that's why all this preparation goes

506
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: into it. I mean, I've been around a lot of

507
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: sports guys. There is no sport that involves this must

508
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: practice time and so little playing time as football, it's

509
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: just such a scripted sport and the preparation that goes

510
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: into it blows away probably any other sport that there

511
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: is right, wrong or indifferent. So and I think it's

512
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: because it is a hard sport to play and to

513
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: execute at the speed at which it's played nowadays at

514
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: the pro level. Chris I mentioned to Steve here today

515
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: watching a couple of I've watched the Dolphins beat the

516
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: Jets this weekend. I watched the Dolphins beat the Colts

517
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: last week's game, and they're not much better. And I

518
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: think this could be could be the game where the

519
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense starts to out of it. It's slump. I

520
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: just see. I kind of feel that coming. The coach

521
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: is telling them to play fearlessly. They've got an under

522
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: you know that the Dolphins have a kind of a

523
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: poor you know, they have a bad defense. What I'm

524
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: trying to say, I think this could be the game

525
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: with the Bills offense stamps out of it. Am I crazy? Yeah? Well,

526
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: And I think most of the that fearless commentary coming

527
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: from coach is for the offense, which I think is

528
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: struggling with its confidence a little bit. As a whole,

529
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: and so I think he wants them to play fearless,

530
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: which you know, by that same token, if you play

531
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: fearless and you make some plays, that builds your confidence

532
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. And this is a team to try

533
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: to do that against Dolphins defense. That really Granted, they

534
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: got three interceptions last week against the third string quarterback

535
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: for the Colts, who was playing without t Y Hilton,

536
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: but still the Bills are a better representation of offense

537
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: even than that, despite their own struggles, and so I

538
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: think coach m Dermot believes there are going to be

539
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: some opportunities in this game to make some big plays,

540
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: to execute more consistently, and so hopefully that builds some

541
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: confidence in this offense. I mean, they're still rotating a

542
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: slew of guys on the back end in the secondary

543
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: Miami is and most of these guys the rookie or

544
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: first year players, undrafted free agents, street free agents that

545
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: are playing meaningful snaps on defense for them, I would

546
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: say the only addition that they make that they'll have

547
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: this time around as opposed to the first meeting is

548
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins, their top draft choice, who as we know,

549
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: got thrown out of the first game. On the first series.

550
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of and you talk about the confidence that maybe

551
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott hasn't seen in some of his players, Tradevious

552
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: White alluded to the fact that maybe Levi Wallace needs

553
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: to play with some more confidence. He says, it said that,

554
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, most guys go through some rough spots in

555
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: their in their seasons. As a cornerback in the NFL,

556
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: Levi Walls the guy that may exactly be the kind

557
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: of guy that Sean McDermott is saying, Hey, listen, just

558
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: step up and play without some fear, don't worry about

559
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: getting beat. Let's make some plays kind of thing. Well,

560
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: and the advantage for him is Preston Williams is out

561
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: for the year with a knee injury. He and DeVante

562
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: park Parker proved to be a pretty leaful combo against

563
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Trudevious White and Levi Wallace in the first meeting. Williams

564
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: is off the table now and out injured, so the

565
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: Bills can take a similar approach to the one they

566
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: did last week, and probably with a lot more success,

567
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: by putting Trudevious White on DeVante Parker to follow him around,

568
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: who's clearly their number one target, and then have Levi

569
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: Wallace hand to who handle whoever else they roll out there,

570
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: whether it's Alan Hearns or somebody else. So to me,

571
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: I think the opportunity favors the Bills a little bit

572
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: more than last week's for sure, from a coverage standpoint,

573
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have the answer. We answer

574
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: this yesterday and they're gonna be is there gonna be

575
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: a change in the starting lineup? Does stay there? Kevin

576
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Johnson take over? What do you think? There isn't definitive

577
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: evidence as to which way that's gonna go. And I

578
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think this is a coaching staff that,

579
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: on the whole tries to show a measure of confidence

580
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: in their players, and you know, we will tolerate a

581
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: little bit of inconsistency or a guy having a rough day.

582
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: But I think if it persists this weekend, I wouldn't

583
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: be surprised if there's a change. And that's assuming of course,

584
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: that Levi does in fact stay in the starting lineup.

585
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look at their sets right now, but

586
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: they're on the far side of the field and it's

587
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: hard for me to determine whether or not Levi's with

588
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: the first group. There or not. Yeah, it's not individuals. Yeah.

589
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: The interesting thing is we've seen players earn their way

590
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: onto the roster and earn their way off, as it were,

591
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: of the roster, especially at the wide receiver spout with

592
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: Duke Williams, Isaiah McKenzie, and Robert Foster. We haven't seen

593
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: that really at the top of the depth chart though,

594
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: most of the starters, if they're healthy start with the

595
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: exception of maybe right tackle, right guard who Cody Ford

596
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: and Tian Seki rotate through. We haven't seen a starter

597
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: gets sat down yet this season in your six and

598
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: three out. It's not going to happen very often. But

599
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: given the fact that you know there's this glaring target

600
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: over across from Tredevious White, a you know, Levi Wallace

601
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: hes just getting picked on because Tredevious White is playing

602
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: so well, this could be the first time we see it. Well,

603
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: we did see it on defense, Ed Oliver sat down

604
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: for Jordan Phillips. So that's one guy that was in

605
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: the starting lineup that no longer is. So that's one example.

606
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: There aren't many, though, you're right, Steve, so we'll see

607
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: Maybe Levi Wallace could be another in favor of Kevin Johnson.

608
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: But again, this receiving corps is not nearly as daunting

609
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: as it was with Preston Williams in the lineup, because

610
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: that's just two giant targets in Parker and Wilson, and

611
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: now Wilson's no longer part of the equation. We're talking

612
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: with Chris Brown. He's on the sidelines inside the ed

613
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: Pro Sports Training Center Bill's Thursday practice, getting set to

614
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Chris got a couple

615
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: of minutes left with us. I want to ask you

616
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: about running backs. You know, we spent the early part

617
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: of this week talking about how few carries motor Devin

618
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: Singletary got against Cleveland. I don't know if they I

619
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: don't look. I know the way the fans feel. We

620
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: listen to it every day and that's fine. I don't

621
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: know if the coaching sad feels like there's something to

622
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: fix there. Do you do they want to get motored

623
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: more carries, probably, but they also got to see how

624
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: the game plays out. I'm interested in your take on that, Chris. Yeah.

625
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean I want to believe they want to get

626
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: it more involved and make him more of a focal

627
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: point of the offense. But it's clear to me, at

628
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: least last week, that when you're throwing at forty one

629
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: times in a tight game, you're looking at your quarterback

630
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: to pull you through. But you might need to reassess that.

631
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: And we've talked about it on your show already, guys. Yeah,

632
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: you were quite animated about it. Yeah, because are we

633
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: at a point where maybe there's too much on his

634
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: plate and you got to scale that back little bit

635
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: and spread the wealth, so to speak, and call somebody

636
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: else's number a little bit more, or at least balance

637
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: it out to some degree. So it's not all on

638
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: Josh to make the plays that you need to win

639
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: the football game, especially when you have a young player

640
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: who's i think got dynamic ability to make positive gains

641
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: on plays that sometimes blow up and there really isn't

642
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: much there. He is so elusive, so slippery that even

643
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: when the play isn't perfectly executed, he's going to get

644
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: you something and keep you on schedule. And that might

645
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: be the most important thing for this offense right now,

646
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: to stay on schedule, stay ahead of the sticks. And

647
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: part of that is obviously avoiding the penalties too. But

648
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: this guy at least helps get you there with those

649
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: three and four and five yard plays when sometimes it

650
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: looks like there's nothing there at all. Yeah, and they've

651
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: really got to find a way. Even when they stay

652
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: ahead of the sticks, they've got to find a way

653
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: to convert third and two to four. If they don't

654
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: do that, they're still gonna be five for thirteen on

655
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: third downs, and then you know they're never gonna stay

656
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: on the football field. It's just that situation has really

657
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: dogged them the entire season. Their inability to stay on

658
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: the field on third down. Well, yeah, and the Bugaboo,

659
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: believe it or not, because I looked at some of

660
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 1: the numbers, and I wrote about this in the Noteworthy

661
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: Numbers column on Tuesday. Third and medium has been the

662
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Buggaboo third and four to six. Their conversion rate is

663
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: down around thirty one percent, and it should be a

664
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: little bit higher than that. It should be up in

665
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: the low forties at least, that's what league average says.

666
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: And so they're falling short in that area. And what

667
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: I found is teams are blitzing them more on third

668
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: and medium than any other third down. And the Browns

669
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: were a part of that equation last week. So you've

670
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: got a situation where they're sending people at Josh knowing

671
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: it's probably a pass play. Third medium usually is, so

672
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: they'll send the blitz package at him, accelerate his internal clock,

673
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: and more often than not, of late, he's been forced

674
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: into some hurried decisions or some ill advised decisions. I

675
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: think he's avoided the turnovers when he's facing those blitz calls,

676
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: but he's not executing nearly as much as he was

677
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: even earlier in the season. With Chris Brown, he's on

678
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: the sidelines in practice. Let's talk a little bit about

679
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: the passing game Chris, which obviously needs to get better.

680
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: I find it interesting, and you know, Eda been talking

681
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: about much. Duke Williams has been inactive the last two weeks.

682
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Duke Williams came in about six weeks ago and was

683
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, they had a parade on Delaware Avenue for

684
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: him after the Tennessee game, right he was the savior

685
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: whatever to a savior status. What do you think the

686
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff's thinking there. I think they want more speed

687
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: on the field and they've determined that that's the way

688
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: they're going to go at least the last couple of weeks,

689
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: and that's why Robert Foster and Isaiah McKenzie have been up.

690
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: If you remember last year, this offense was stuck in

691
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: neutral and around Week eleven they put at Robert Foster

692
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: and Isaiah McKenzie in the lineup against the Jets with

693
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley a quarterback, and they put forty one points

694
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: on the Jets. I'm not saying and that that's what

695
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: they're expecting every week, but I think they just feel

696
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: they put more threats on the field to keep a

697
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: defense honest. With that speed. Duke Williams, you know, could

698
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: he factor into being back on the field again. It's possible.

699
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: We've got Dawson Knox not participating here at practice today.

700
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: We'll have to find out if that's injury related or

701
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: something else. So we'll wait for the injury report later.

702
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: But if a player like Knox is not up, sometimes

703
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: that can lead to a bigger receiver being on the

704
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: field as a so called replacement. Anybody else missing, Chris,

705
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: I know the injury report is pretty light. Anybody else missing? No,

706
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: that's it today, Okay, all right, thanks Chris, Thanks Brownie,

707
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: you got a guys. Chris Brown Bills inside or Buffalo

708
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com on the sidelines at the practice at

709
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: a inside the End Pro Sports Training Center. I'm not

710
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: saying Duke Williams is a difference maker, and the Bills

711
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: having lost two of their last three, you start to

712
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: look at stuff. But it was interesting, right he breaks

713
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: out against Tennessee back in first week of October, and

714
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: his viewed as Oh, he's the guy, he's what they

715
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: need along and now he doesn't not even in the

716
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: lineup for two weeks. I don't get it. It's interesting too,

717
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: because there are so many reasons why it maybe happening,

718
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: maybe as simple as what Chris Brown said. They may

719
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: want more speed on the field, but John Brown already

720
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: out there, and he put either Isaiah McKinsey or Robert

721
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: Foster out there. That's two fast guys out there. Do

722
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: you want Do you ever put Robert Foster and Isaiah

723
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 1: McKinsey on the field at the same time Maybe once

724
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: in a while, but you got to take John Brown

725
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: or Cole Beasley off the field then, you know. So

726
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting to think about why that is,

727
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: and it could be something else, could be execution that

728
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: we've been harping on. It could be that Duke hasn't

729
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: done things or adjusted to routes the right way, hasn't

730
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: been where Josh wants him to be. Could be something

731
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: as simple as that as well, and they're sitting him

732
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: down because they don't trust him to run the right

733
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: routes on offense. Or it could be something that we

734
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: haven't thought of, but there. But believe me, there are

735
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: concrete reasons and game plan reasons why they make the

736
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: roster decisions they do, particularly at the skill positions, and

737
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of that's why it's so interesting

738
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: to watch this team play offense what they're gonna unfurl

739
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: every week because, as we said, even in preseason, Brian

740
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: and forget about all this play calling and how many

741
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: times they threw it and run at Brian Dabole wanted

742
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: to run a multiple offense. They wanted to be able

743
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: to attack the weaknesses of a given defense, and that

744
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: takes very astute execution. And I think that's the one

745
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: thing that's holding them back right now. They're multiple, they're

746
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: not effective, They're not effective yet, and it drives you crazy,

747
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: right and drives and we've gotten an inkling this some

748
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: of the times it has been executed, it's been execution

749
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: because of a mistake, not by Josh Allen but somebody else.

750
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: And when that, when you get inklings of that, it's like, Okay,

751
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: how far does that go? And does that have more

752
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: of an effect on who's up and who's down on

753
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: game day than anything else? And it may in this,

754
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: in a complicated offense like this, it may are they

755
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: trying to do too much? I have to ask the question.

756
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like the fact that they're multiple.

757
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they line up in different

758
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: formations and have kind of they believe to be the

759
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: answer for every defense they faced. But um, you know,

760
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: we are into the second half of the season and

761
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: there's still a right tackle rotation there. We still look

762
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: I defy anyone to tell me who the fourth and

763
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: fifth receivers who are up an active Sunday will be.

764
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: You're the one to call them the names, all the

765
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 1: different guys out there, right, I mean, I know multiple

766
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: they are. I get and I try to do too much.

767
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing, maybe, but here here's what you

768
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: gotta know. The floor on what an NFL team can

769
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: do have going into a game. The floor of that

770
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: how simple it can be and still be effective is

771
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: really high, Yes, compared to where it was when I played. Yes,

772
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: the floor and the complexity, the level of complexity that

773
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: is absolutely required for you to be effective, is as

774
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: high as it's ever been in the NFL. That goes

775
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: for the Bills, the Cardinals, the Patriots, the Jaguars, the tech,

776
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: you name it. The floor for how complex you have

777
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: to be is higher than it's ever been. And see,

778
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: it was only so much you can simplify. And I

779
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: would say this, and Bill's fans watching closely. You'll see

780
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: it in the Dolphins Sunday, I think watching and showed it.

781
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: Watchington starting a rookie quarterback here. You know, a couple

782
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, they can't get their floor high enough.

783
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: They can't do enough. I mean, Fits is different and

784
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: he's got some issues, but he's got a lot of

785
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: guys around him who haven't played in the league before.

786
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: When you have that inexperience and offense like Washington had

787
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: here a couple of weeks ago, like you'll see from Miami,

788
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: you can't you can't line up in it. You can't

789
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: do enough. You can't do enough offensively. You see it

790
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: this year, and it hampers him and holds him back.

791
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: When you start repeating plays, you're in trouble really quick.

792
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: And that sound. What do you mean If you start

793
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: running the same play out of the same people in

794
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: the same formation more than twice and not very close together,

795
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: you're running a big risk because today's tendencies in the

796
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: video and today's NFL the players are too smart and

797
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: too savvy not to jump it, and too well in school,

798
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: and it's gonna cost Yeah, that's that's where it is now. Certainly,

799
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: if you're being successful with the play and you running

800
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: and it's really successful, you may run that thing a

801
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: third time and say hey, and particularly in the run game,

802
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: you know where you'll say, hey, we're gonna keep running

803
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: until you stop it. But the simple fact of the

804
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: matter is that's where you're at. In the NFL, teams

805
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: don't like to run plays a lot of times during

806
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: the same game, and even in the next week. They

807
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: don't really want to run that against a different team

808
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: because they're gonna, you know, they're gonna have a plan

809
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: for it. Now. They may run the same formation, the

810
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: same look and then give you a wrinkle where it

811
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: looks like the same plan, it's not. But that's you know,

812
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: that's a surprise. So that's that's why the floor. You know,

813
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: you can only simplify so much, and it's hard. It's

814
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: hard to do that in today's NFL because you know

815
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: the other teams on scholarship too. Even if it is

816
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: a team that's you know, like Miami, that coaching staff's

817
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: not tanking. You know, they're they're scouting team. You know

818
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: they're they're not you know, they're trying to win and

819
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: on game day they're trying to get it right. So

820
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: if you're gonna try and slip something by them, you

821
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: do so at your own risk. Hey, what do you

822
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: think as the Bills get set to play Miami and

823
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: they were told by their coach yesterday to cut it

824
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: loose a little bit, right, play fearlessly? What do you

825
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: think he meant by that. We'll take your phone calls,

826
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: we'll read your tweets on that when we return. Steve

827
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: and I had just getting through the first hour here,

828
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: happy to abby with us. We're here to three one

829
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Kalaida Health Live from the Seneca

830
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 1: Studio on Archer Park and This is Buffalo Bills Radio

831
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: Back one goes live, chimeber feet, Steve Tasker here until

832
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: three o'clock today. Armando Solgero, the Miami Herald's going to

833
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: join us. Matt Milano's gonna join us after practice. I

834
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: want to get back to our topic and get some

835
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: calls in, But this thought just occurred to me, Steve.

836
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: We are here, moving into week eleven, game ten for

837
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. When you played a long, long time ago,

838
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: at what point did the season seem like, man, this

839
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: this this is a long season? Is it now? Because

840
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: I I wonder if that's what prompted McDermott to say,

841
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, play loose, play fearlessly, you know what I mean,

842
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: Like it's it's a grind. Look, they've been in camp

843
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: since the third week of July. Yeah, right, it's a grind.

844
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: We are four months into this thing. Though. I don't

845
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: know if I remember when you ever did you ever think, wow,

846
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: this season's long? Never? Never when we were six and three.

847
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: You know, when you're when you're six and three, eight

848
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: and one, you know, six and two, whatever, It doesn't

849
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: seem that long when you're the opposite, right, Yeah, it

850
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: gets along pretty quick. That's and that's yeah, human nature,

851
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah. And you gotta snap out of it

852
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: some way, right because you know the playoffs are coming,

853
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: and I think playoffs are coming for this year's team too.

854
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: But you're not close enough so you can start thinking

855
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: that way yet No, not yet, not yet, you get

856
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: you gotta win these games, and then you know, later

857
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: on you start thinking about that a little bit and

858
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: you start, you know, getting your mind around the fact

859
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: that you're gonna play some really meaningful games. You know

860
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: at some point that's that's a lot of fun. That's

861
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. What do you think Drmot told

862
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: his team yesterday play fearlessly? What do you think it means?

863
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Mark on the line from Portland. Hello, Marco ahead, you're

864
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: on the air. How you doing, guys, Thank you so

865
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: much for taking my call. Sure, Hey, I uh, first,

866
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to just say thank you how much I

867
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: appreciate what you guys doing, your information that you guys provide.

868
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: I try to listen daily and for fans like myself

869
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: on the complete other side of the of the US,

870
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of like gives me a little dose of

871
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: back home again, which is which is always kind of nice.

872
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: So thanks you are welcome. Mark, thank you, thank you.

873
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: Um did my my take on on what McDermot meant.

874
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: It could be taken by the whole team, both offense

875
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: and defense. Um, obviously you know the whole thing with

876
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: Josh and and cutting it loose, not playing quite so tentative.

877
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: You know, there's a difference between taking uh, you know,

878
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: risk calculated risks or or or letting it loose. Having

879
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: some of your your your teammates back you up, like

880
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: in Josh's case, a receiver, UM, knowing that hey, I

881
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: trust you. I mean, this whole thing that this culture

882
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: right is about trusting the guys that you play with

883
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: and getting that trust for him that he knows his

884
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: receivers if he gets it there, either they're gonna catch

885
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: it or they're gonna knock it away. They're they're they're

886
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna give him. So take take a few

887
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: risks there on the defensive side. You know, takeaways, we're

888
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: not where I think the team would like to be

889
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: from a takeaway perspective. And you know, when when you're

890
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: looking at the defense in the secondary, I mean, things

891
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: happen in a split second, So you know, sometimes you know,

892
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,479
Speaker 1: if you have to think too long and you're taking

893
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: that extra tentative, like, man, should I break on the

894
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: ball and I can pick this off? Or do I

895
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: let him catch it, do the safe thing, let him

896
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: get the yards and make the tackle. Um. So I

897
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: kind of think, I don't know what your guys thoughts are,

898
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: but it's just kind of like, Okay, cut it, you

899
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: cut it loose a little bit, um, don't play tentative,

900
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: take some calculated risks and know and trust that your

901
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: teammates will have your back. And you know what if

902
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: something breaks loose or something doesn't happen, you know we'll

903
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: we'll we'll recover for it. Like that, I think you're

904
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: onto something there, Mark, I really do. Yeah. It does

905
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: speak to the culture they're trying to build here, and

906
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: when you do play like that, you do have to

907
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: trust the guys around you. So yeah, there's something in there.

908
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: Mariot's it's a good calling, a nice perspective on it,

909
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: and I think, um, this is the week to do it.

910
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: When you got talent on a virtually every position better

911
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: than your opponents. Look, you're better than these guys. Basically,

912
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: McDermott didn't say that, and he probably would never say that,

913
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: but to me, part of the messages you are a

914
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: better team than that team in Miami. Go beat them

915
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: like you should, like you're supposed to, like you can,

916
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: not easily, but fearlessly, go beat them. You're better than

917
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 1: there is that. Is that a safe message to deliver?

918
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I think also it

919
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: has to do a little bit with if if there

920
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: was any thought of this team taking that team lightly,

921
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: This takes that out of the equation because it really

922
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: tells them put their foot on the gas. Yeah, you know,

923
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things it does. Just

924
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: put our foot on the gas and really go. And

925
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: that's kind of a fun place to be as a

926
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: football player. I think that's one way to get guys

927
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: to play a little bit freer and easier, is when

928
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: you say, let's you know, play them with some fearlessness,

929
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: let's go. And Yeah, it's a great mindset to be in.

930
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: No question. One more calling this segment. John on the

931
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: line from Lockboard. Hello, John, welcome to show. Hey guys,

932
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. I think what McDermot was

933
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: pretty much as kind of with Josh, you know, he's

934
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: been overthinking it comments this week, you know what his

935
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: frust conference is that you know, he might be overthinking things.

936
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to think that he should kind

937
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: of take the more chances, you know, throwing the ball

938
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: like like he did last year. I know this year

939
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: kind of hid into his padd you know, overthinking it.

940
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: And I also wanted to think that McDermot was kind

941
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: of coming at the defensive lineman because it seems like

942
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: last week we did we only got a sack from

943
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: and Matt Milano are the effective line hasn't been getting

944
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: there too much, and they've just in the past three

945
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: weeks they exist in getting run all over on us,

946
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean compared to what we've been doing. And I

947
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: feel like that McDermot is sensing that, you know, we

948
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: can't keep Miami closed. I mean, if you think back

949
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: to that first matchup that we had against Miami, Jadavia's

950
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,479
Speaker 1: White doesn't come up with that interception on the goal line,

951
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: we're down two stores trying to trail back against the Dolphins.

952
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: So I feel like we just got to have a

953
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: strong first half and come out Lazon and set up

954
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: trying to put it in talent hands in the fourth

955
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: quarter trying to have us come back instead of you know,

956
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: this is a team that we got to put away.

957
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: We can't afford to lose against the two win team

958
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: when we're trying to make a push, not just to

959
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs, puts the advance in the playoffs.

960
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I just wanted to hear what you guys think, Gun

961
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: that appreciate the call. Oh, it's yeah. I think there's

962
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: a lot of that's true, John, no question, I agree

963
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: with a lot of what you said that it's the Bills,

964
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: particularly on the defensive side, because they've got enough talent

965
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: over there to back it up if they make a

966
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: mistake here and there. They've got guys that can that

967
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: can go. And I think one of the best ways

968
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: to play I found in my career is, you know, fearless.

969
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: This is what he says when you you know, you

970
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: you got to trust your discipline and your own abilities,

971
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: and your and your preparation. You're not going to do

972
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: anything stupid, but certainly you will attempt to take advantage

973
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: of every single opportunity that flashes your way. And these opportunities,

974
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: like the callers said, they happen very quick and sometimes

975
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: you think, well, Okay, I'm as long as they do.

976
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to make a mistake, you know. But

977
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: if you're fearless and you want to do it, you'll

978
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: see it and you'll jump on every opportunity. And I

979
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: think defensively in particular, the Bills can afford to do that.

980
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: So I kind of agree with him. You would like

981
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: to see the guys up front get a few more

982
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: sacks and be a little more productive both against the

983
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: run and the past and the past rush. But I

984
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: think when you're playing a game where you know you

985
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: don't want to be the team that gives it away,

986
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: that's the wrong mindset to be in. You gotta be

987
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: fearless enough to go out and take advantage of those

988
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: small play to play opportunities that could be the play

989
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: that turns it around in that moment. So I think

990
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: it's a great place to be, and I agree with

991
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot of what the caller said, especially on the

992
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. That puts you in a

993
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: mindset that has your antenna up looking for chances to

994
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: take you for things to take advantage of, and I

995
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: think it's a great place to be. We got a

996
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: couple hours left in the show. We're going to talk

997

Speaker 1: hamstring he has been had and out of it out

1076
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: of the maybe I don't know if it's been quite

1077
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: half the season, but he was in and out a

1078
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: couple of times with it with a hammy and and

1079
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: there are some earlier minor injuries in the earlier in

1080
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: the season, so he's it's been a rough year for good.

1081
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: But now in the last couple of weeks he's been

1082
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: in and he feels great. And the winner goes to

1083
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 1: the Great Cup. Which winner goes to the Great Cup,

1084
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: which is a week a week from Sunday in Calgary,

1085
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: and you're going to Hamilton a Great Cup. Yeah, Luke's

1086
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: played in. Yeah, he played in a couple. I went.

1087
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: I didn't miss the first one that he went to

1088
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: because it was it was the second half of the season.

1089
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: He was first year there and he only played the

1090
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: second half of the season and we didn't you know,

1091
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: we didn't have it together so we could get there

1092
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: and I and then the next year they went and

1093
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: it was in Vancouver at BC's stadium and we went

1094
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: to that one. Pardon my ignorance. Here is his Is

1095
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: he or his team won a Great Cup before? Yeah,

1096
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. It was the last time. Yeah, they

1097
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: want to. They've won sixteen of them. The league's he

1098
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: was not since he's been there. No, they've been to

1099
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: two Great Cup finals and lost both of them. And

1100
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: then this is if they could win Sunday will be

1101
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: their third. It's a big deal. I like the league

1102
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and what years old? Oh, gosh, one hundred

1103
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: and I think it's one hundred and twenty to something.

1104
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 1: Great Cup. How did the CFL start before the NFL?

1105
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: A long time before the NFL? I said, And it

1106
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: is a different game though, I mean, there's no two

1107
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: ways about it. It looks kind of the same, but

1108
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: it's it's an alternate universe, no question about it. That's

1109
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: good luck to Luke in the Hamilton Tea. I want

1110
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: to talk about this too before we get back to

1111
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: the business of the show, and I mentioned it during

1112
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: the update the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. Our buddy Lorenzo Alexander,

1113
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: who will be with us tomorrow at two o'clock, is

1114
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo's nominee. Each of the thirty two teams nominates a

1115
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: player for sportsmanship, the player who best demonstrates the qualities

1116
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: of on field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the

1117
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: game and opponents, and integrity in competition. Who fits that

1118
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: description better than Lorenzo? Yeah, I'm looking at the thirty

1119
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: two nominees. There are bigger names nominated for it, Julio Jones,

1120
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson nominated for it, Christian McCaffrey. Certainly there are

1121
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: bigger names nominated by their teams. But who's better sportsman

1122
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: than Lorenzo Alexander and not just regarded that way in Buffalo.

1123
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: Every game you go to every NFL outpost, players from

1124
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: the other team either had played with Lorenzo. No, Lorenzo

1125
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: appreciate his work on the Players Association. He should be

1126
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: the nominee from Buffalo. He is the ultimate sportsman. I

1127
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: really look, don't. I don't watch the NFL Honor Show.

1128
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it since sinception, but I'd really be

1129
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: rooting for this one. Well, and this is true as well,

1130
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: but this is not an It's not a like the

1131
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: Most Valuable Player of the League. It's not like that award.

1132
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: It's Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. But you look at the

1133
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: guys who have won it and then last five or

1134
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: six years, Drew Brees, Luke Keekley, Frank Gore, Yeah, Charles Woodson,

1135
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. I mean it's it's a prestigious award, and

1136
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 1: I hope they don't just give it to stars. I know,

1137
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,720
Speaker 1: I get I get that too. You know, there's always

1138
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: that thought when you see names like that on the list.

1139
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, You're right. Lorenzo cuts a

1140
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: wide swath through the National Football League. He cuts a

1141
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: wide swath. Guys know him and respect him all over

1142
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: the league, and I hope it carries him through to

1143
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: get the recognition he deserves because we we all love

1144
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 1: him in this building countless times, and this show will

1145
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: interview a player from another team or a former player

1146
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: from another team, and they they talk about Lorenzo. I

1147
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: played with Lorenzo here, or I know Lorenzo from this right.

1148
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got that kind of a stature around

1149
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: the league, more so than I think any player I've

1150
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: ever seen. He's got like league wide stature. People look

1151
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: at the Renzo Alexander like he's who I want to

1152
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: be when I grow up. Right, He's great. We wish

1153
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 1: him well for that. All Right, our Twitter question today

1154
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: and we want to talk with you about it. We

1155
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 1: got Armando Salgaro coming up at the bottom of the

1156
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: Sour from the Miami Herald. We'll talk about the Dolphins

1157
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: and let's talk about the Bills for the next few minutes.

1158
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: Josh Allen said it yesterday. He said coach McDermott sat

1159
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: us down Wednesday morning, first team meeting of the week

1160
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: and told them to play fearless this week. Play fearless.

1161
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 1: What do you think he had in mind? Eighth three

1162
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

1163
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: five fifty. Let us know what you think. Let's take

1164
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 1: a call or two on this. We'll go to Tom

1165
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: on the West Side. Hello, Tom, Welcome, you're on the show.

1166
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, gentlemen. I want to congratulate Zoe. Isn't this

1167
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: like the third time he was nominated play? I don't know,

1168
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: it might be. Yeah, he takes a cake every year

1169
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: from Buffalo because he's the most outstanding player with that

1170
00:55:54,960 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: kind of sportsmanship. Yep. Anyway, I think what McDermot mean

1171
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: by that is he feels like Josh Allen and the

1172
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: offense are holding back a little bit because even though

1173
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 1: they tell him not to listen to the outside noise,

1174
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: they hear it. And everybody's been harping on Josh to

1175
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: bring up his completion percentage, and he has done that

1176
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, he is making progress in the

1177
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: process of doing that. And here it goes back to

1178
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: the process. He's giving up the long ball to upgrade

1179
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: his completion percentage now on the defensive side of the ball.

1180
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. All the other callers that they

1181
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: need more takeaways. I disagree he'sn't giving up the long well.

1182
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: They're trying the long well. He has connected on them,

1183
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: but they're trying them. They had what three or four

1184
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: shots downfield last week against Cleveland not hitting on him.

1185
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: But I don't think they've given it up. Let's go

1186
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: to a gym in Lockboart. Hello, Jim, you're on the

1187
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 1: air with this. Are you doing good? Nice to talk

1188
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 1: to you, you too, called in one before that was

1189
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: back in the draft when we drafted Josh Allen. Yeah,

1190
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 1: I'm happy that we have Josh Allen on our roster.

1191
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: But what I told you back in the draft was

1192
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: that I wish we would have thinked Lamar Jackson. Now

1193
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: that being said, when when serviots sets play fearless, I

1194
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: believe that Lamar Jackson plays with the points competency and

1195
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: he plays fearless. And I don't see any reason why

1196
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen get to be another Lar Jackson. He has

1197
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: all the tools and I think he says cleaning by

1198
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: playing fearless. Interesting stuff. Yeah, well, I'm glad you owned

1199
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: up to being right about Lamar Jackson. I guess for that, right,

1200
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: I remember saying that mark my word, Mark Jackson's gonna

1201
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: be a good player. Now he's more than a good player.

1202
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: He's Yeah, he's a really good player and maybe even

1203
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: a generational player. Um, it'll be fun to see his

1204
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: career take take shape. And he may. I think he's

1205
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: an intrigue. He may be the most intriguing player in

1206
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: the league this year because of what Baltimore is doing

1207
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: and how they transformed themselves from a Joe Flacco type

1208
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: of offense to what they're doing in Baltimore. Now it's

1209
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: been You gotta give John Harbaugh and that crew a

1210
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: lot of credit for what they've done, as well as

1211
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson anything else, Jim. Still, I still think there

1212
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: was a lot of work Josh Allenson to be the

1213
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: quarterback the future, and I think I played a little bit.

1214
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: Do elected Mark checks not carroless fearless. He's going to

1215
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: work out to see a great quarterback play. All right,

1216
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 1: Thanks Jim, we'll see Thanks for calling. Hey, we're talking

1217
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: about mcdermot's message to the team to play fearless, and

1218
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's had a side message for his kicker,

1219
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: Stephen Housecat. A tough couple of tough misses. The fifty

1220
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: three yard miss, it was a fifty four fifty three

1221
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: yard miss. It would have won the game. That's a

1222
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: tough kick for anybody. The earlier miss against Cleveland, he

1223
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 1: is not. He has one sixty two yard miss, will

1224
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of almost take that one off the ledger, but

1225
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards this year. House Get is now old

1226
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: for three and he's missed some and he talked about

1227
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: it in the locker room yesterday. Bills kicker Stephen house

1228
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: Kit talked about how he struggled a little bit. He

1229
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: owns up to it. Here's what he had to say

1230
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: in the locker room yesterday. I want to put excuses

1231
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: out there because I take all this stuff, um, you know, personally,

1232
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: and I work work at my craft, and I've got

1233
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: as high as standard as anybody, maybe almost too high.

1234
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: So I feel like I can be the best kicker

1235
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: in the league. I still feel like that, And you

1236
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: know it's part of part of playing this job long

1237
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: enough you kind of go through some through some challenges,

1238
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm right in the middle of my

1239
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: challenges right now, for sure. I don't know if i'd

1240
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: like to hear that. You don't want to hear a

1241
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: guy a kicker. I mean, it's like putting. You put

1242
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: all the time. You don't want to lean, you know,

1243
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: lean over a putt and think, wow, this is a challenge.

1244
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm right in the middle of it now, right You

1245
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: want to put fearlessly, you want to kick, but I

1246
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: get it. But here's yeah, but here's the thing. It's

1247
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: okay to acknowledge the struggles while you're in preparation to

1248
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: get better. You don't think, yeah, yesterday and today and

1249
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: through this week. You can say, yeah, I'm struggling, but

1250
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: that's gives you more motivation to get in and like

1251
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: he said, work on his craft. He doesn't need to

1252
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: transform the way he prepares and does his job. He's

1253
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: very good at it. He just needs to do what

1254
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: his job calls for now, and that is to you know,

1255
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: get more consistent, get the ball through the uprights. And

1256
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: and and I said this earlier in the week too.

1257
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: That kick at the end of the game was fifty

1258
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: three yards off a natural surface in a November in Cleveland.

1259
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was an heroic kick if

1260
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: he can hit it. It was a really huge kick.

1261
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: It was long and under under tough weather conditions on

1262
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: a natural surface. It was a hard kick to make.

1263
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: It's less than a coin flip into even by today's

1264
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: NFL standards. It was a coin flip. Whether he makes

1265
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: that or not, probably less so because of the conditions.

1266
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: So I I think he knows what he's doing. He

1267
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: and if you've ever watched the game, you've done this too,

1268
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: or if you've seen the guy. I mean, he's a

1269
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: little he's almost I mean you think about what he

1270
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: looks like when he's around the facility working on his scraping.

1271
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: He does some quirky stuff getting ready. I mean, he's

1272
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: always working on his approach. He's always working on his

1273
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: legs swing. He's always working on the minutia of his

1274
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: kicking motion. He's always doing it, and it's almost conical,

1275
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: which is why I worry when I hear him say

1276
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of my challenges. He went on,

1277
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: we don't have the time. He went on yesterday to

1278
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: say that Sunday in Cleveland he did not feel ideal.

1279
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: The quote was, most of the time you kind of

1280
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: get away with it. Sometimes you don't. That's kind of

1281
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: how I feel after last week. I get it. I

1282
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: understand that. But by Sunday, hopefully sooner than that, he's

1283
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: got to move on. He's got to be ready, right right.

1284
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't want him second guessing himself and feeling, you know, challenged,

1285
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: and I'm in the middle of my challenges and I

1286
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: feel less than ideal. You don't want him that way.

1287
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: End game day. You want a guy who can say, oh,

1288
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: I got this, I got it right. You played with

1289
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: how many different kickers? I'm gonna get a half dozen?

1290
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: Maybe over the years, not quite well? Want yeah, who

1291
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: was the best? Who was the best that you played with? It?

1292
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: Just going out there and doing it obvious. Steve Christie

1293
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: was was he that would be my recollection. But he

1294
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: tell me why you said, because he and I it's

1295
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: funny that you say that we're having this conversation. Might

1296
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: It was funny to me. You'd see these guys get

1297
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: the pro tractor out and back off at the exact

1298
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: right angle and take this step, this step, and then

1299
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: a half step and they'd almost get a tape measure

1300
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: out and do it. Steve Christie would give me this

1301
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: in practice and all that. He would give me the

1302
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: spot and he would turn his back to me and

1303
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: then walk away, just walk off and he'd turn around,

1304
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: and it was totally intuitive. It was like he was

1305
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: like he was kicking a soccer ball instead of a

1306
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: football that somebody was holding, and he would just eye

1307
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: it up and we'd snap it and he just hed

1308
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: just go through it, right. He wouldn't. It was all

1309
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: feel for him. He'd looked where he was gonna kick

1310
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: it and then wait for the ball to be set,

1311
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, and he'd be coming through it. So it

1312
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: was for him. He didn't overthink anything, particularly during the

1313
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: week of when he was getting through it, you know.

1314
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: And and there were times when every you know, we

1315
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: were kicked. I remember one particular time we were in

1316
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: the like a day like today it was it was

1317
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: rainy and cloud and it was rainy, but it was

1318
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: it was cold, you know, and it was late in

1319
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: the season. And he comes out and every kick he

1320
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: kicked for about a half a dozen kicks, was like

1321
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: three feet outside the right upright, and it couldn't and

1322
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: Bruce de Haven, you know, he's he's going. Steve's like, yeah,

1323
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: my right ankle, my left ankle sore, it was what

1324
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: he was. Yeah, my plant foot, it's sore. That's why

1325
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm you know, everything's going the same way because the

1326
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: four foot store when I plan it, my body compensates

1327
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: and it's going right. He goes, that's the way it is.

1328
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: He's what are you doing here? You know? Of course

1329
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: the special team don't be kicking. He says, all right,

1330
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: I know, you know, he just yeah, he wanted him

1331
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: to be fearless and to him him too. There was

1332
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: a plus and a mind, so like you know, for

1333
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: all of us, it's like, oh wow, this is a game. Wink.

1334
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, put it down, let's go. If

1335
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's gonna you know, my life goes on

1336
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: if I make or miss this kick. Let's hit it.

1337
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: You know. So it's a little bit of that you

1338
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: gotta live with because you want it to be like, Okay,

1339
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: I know how important this kick is. My guy was like,

1340
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: just put the thing down, let's go. You know. So

1341
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that too, and he was listened.

1342
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: He the guy was brilliant. Yeah. So you go with

1343
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: what you're comfortable doing and what gets you there. And

1344
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, House has been doing this really well for

1345
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: a long time and it's a rough patch and you

1346
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: gotta have faith he's gonna get out of it. He

1347
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: certainly does. What do you think coach McDermott means when

1348
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: he sits the team down yesterday at the Wednesday meeting

1349
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: and say, let's believe, be fearless. What do you think?

1350

Speaker 1: Nick and wheat Field on the line. Hello, Nick, go ahead,

1360
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: is in a quick set, he is ten out of ten,

1361
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: six out of seven, he moves that team right down

1362
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: the field for a score. In fact, I have a

1363
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: lot of friends than aren't all Bill fans, but we've

1364
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: watched games in other parts of the country, and everyone

1365
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: to that point has said, why don't they let him

1366
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: do that? What? No huddle? Is that what we're talking about?

1367
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: Not only that, yes, not only that. You hear the

1368
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: national people like Darryl Johnson, your old teammate, James Longton

1369
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: and others bring that comment out. Why don't they let

1370
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: him do it? More? Long? Do? What do it? Do? It?

1371
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: A quick set? I'm not saying the story huddle, but

1372
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: quick set? What's a quick set? I don't explain exactly

1373
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: what you're talking about? Fine with his people in moves,

1374
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: it takes Gable thirty seconds. They call a damn play

1375
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: in you let the kid stay here, go run with it.

1376
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's what they should mean by frills,

1377
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: and I do think that's what they do mean by

1378
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: thrillst But Josh call plays, they're they're taking no you know,

1379
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: they huddle up, they do this, do that. But when

1380
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen gets into that quick movement, let's put it

1381
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: that way, he's very effective and he hits people and

1382
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: he makes some good plays and he makes good decisions. Well, Nick,

1383
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: I think I know what you mean, and I would

1384
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: agree tempo is a factor, but I don't know if

1385
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 1: it's a determining factor on how much I do. Okay, okay,

1386
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: good for you. I I listen. I've said it before,

1387
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: no question. I think there's a place for whatever you're

1388
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: the quick set you're talking about, the quick, fast paced offense,

1389
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: and teams do run it, and it's and it can help,

1390
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: but it's not the curl, it's not the it's not

1391
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: going to solve every problem that the Bills have, and

1392
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: it's not going to be because if it did, everybody

1393
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: would do it. But you're right. I think if if

1394
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: you're having success doing something in your offense or some

1395
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: aspect of your offense, you need to explore it more.

1396
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills did that

1397
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: a little more. Um, tempo can be a great weapon,

1398
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: and I think if you're having more success and I

1399
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 1: haven't noticed it like you have now, I'll be honest

1400
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: with you. When they go fast, I don't see him

1401
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: go fast that often, and I don't know that they're

1402
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: way successful when they do that. So maybe if you've

1403
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: observed that, I've missed it. I don't know. But if

1404
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: that's the case, Um, yeah, you're right, they'd be foolish

1405
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: not to explore that further and see if they can

1406
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: get more mileage out of it. So, UM, yeah, I'm

1407
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: not gonna doubt what you observe with your own two eyes.

1408
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: I've just gotta tell you I haven't seen as much

1409
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 1: of it as you seem to think you have. So

1410
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: here's a call from Nick in Rochester. Hello, Nick, you're

1411
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: on the air. Yeah, Hey, I just wanted to kind

1412
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: of comment that. I know they were comparing ty Rod's

1413
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: uh last twenty games to to Josh Allen's first twenty. UM,

1414
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: but if you look at who's doing that, Jerry Uh.

1415
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: Yesterday the UM the reporter there was comparing Tyrod's last

1416
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: twenty games to Josh Allen's first twenty um, and yeah

1417
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 1: they were. I mean if you look at the talent

1418
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: that Tyrod had around him, you know, he had, uh,

1419
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Lashawan McCoy and and arguably his prime years, um,

1420
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Robert Woods. And I think if you look at that

1421
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: receiving corps compared to what he has now, I mean

1422
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: it's just there's there's no no real debate. I mean,

1423
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 1: they're the players that they had now just aren't as

1424
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: talented as they used to be. Um. And you know

1425
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: mcdermots had a couple of years now to build up

1426
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: the team and draft and put his own guys in there,

1427
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: and they just they aren't getting it done. Um No,

1428
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: the six and three aren't. Is that not getting it

1429
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: done well? The offense? You know, they're struggling to discore points. Yeah,

1430
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: they sure. I don't think that's that's a that's a

1431
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: debate as evident as you know the tournament. It was

1432
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: bit bit frustrated yesterday when they asked them the question

1433
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:16,879
Speaker 1: during the press conference. Um so yeah, I think they's

1434
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: got to get more more talented guys in there. Okay,

1435
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: I go along with that. You need talent. Good players

1436
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: make you better, no question about it. But I'll tell

1437
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: you this, Nick. I've gone on record and I'll still

1438
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: say it. They got enough talent now to do everything

1439
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: they want to do. If they execute what they're supposed

1440
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: to be doing better than they are, they'd score more points,

1441
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: they'd win more, even more games. And until that happens,

1442
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: it's it's it's easy to throw darts and say other

1443
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,839
Speaker 1: things of the problem, but I think it's an execution

1444
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: problem on offense, not a talent problem. Stick one more

1445
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: call before we hit a break here, Ben in Amherst,

1446
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Ben, welcome to the showy afternoon fellas. All right,

1447
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: they just want to give a kudo as a coach

1448
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: McDermot for kind of addressing that issue as far as

1449
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: not playing with beer and um not an NFL coach,

1450
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: I did spend twenty years on active duty and led

1451
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: hundreds of combat missions, and UM, I will say that

1452
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,600
Speaker 1: that kind of talking about fear and addressing that that

1453
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: psychological aspect, it's an important thing and so hopefully for

1454
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: these guys, um it kind of helps refocus them and

1455
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: let them know, hey, it's okay to play with some

1456
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: aggression and don't be afraid to make a mistake. Ben,

1457
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: question for you about this, and I know you have

1458
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: another point to make in your role in mcdermot's role,

1459
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 1: is it important to call to the attention of the

1460
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,560
Speaker 1: people you're leading that I get it. You might be

1461
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: fearing fear of failure here. I mean, is is that

1462
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 1: part of it, like getting them to see that, hey,

1463
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 1: you're playing this well way because you're fearing, you're fearing,

1464
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 1: you fear that you might do the wrong thing. Is

1465
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: that part of the equation? Yeah, I mean you can

1466
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: see when it kind of starts to creep in. And

1467
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 1: I can't talk about from anfl perspective, but UM and

1468
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,839
Speaker 1: leading troops into combat, you can see when um essentially

1469
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: they just become combat and effective because they're so scared

1470
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: to make a mistake and get someone else or themselves

1471
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: hurt that you know, they freeze up. And from talking

1472
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: about that and acknowledging it and understanding that it's a

1473
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:14,799
Speaker 1: real thing, and you know that maybe a bigger aspect

1474
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:18,560
Speaker 1: to them being successful than the XS and osters. And

1475
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: by the way, Ben, thank you for your service. We

1476
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 1: appreciate it, and I agree with you, and I think

1477
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 1: a lot of what it is when you have when

1478
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: you're leading a group of guys. And I can't speak

1479
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: to the soldiering, of course, but the football aspect of it.

1480
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: When you have a coach that speaks to you in

1481
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: a way that Sean McDermott did to the players yesterday

1482
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: and it and you realize, maybe for the first time

1483
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: in a while, that he understands where you're at. That

1484
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 1: puts you in a much better mindset. When you know

1485
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: that what you're feeling is understood and normal and accepted

1486
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: and acknowledged. That give that frees you up to go

1487
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: out and do your job in a little bit better way.

1488
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: Is that kind of true as well, Ben, Yeah, it's

1489
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a what we call let down in the

1490
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: military where you actually see someone uh you know, there's

1491
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: a physical change in their body posture and they can

1492
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: just you kind of see them really just release all

1493
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: that tension um And it's a huge deal on it.

1494
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 1: And I think I think we might see a bit

1495
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: of a change in these guys after this. I'll be interesting. Thanks, Ben,

1496
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate. I hope I'll be looking for it. I

1497
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: know what he means when he says let down. I'm

1498
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: I kind of understand what he means relaxation. Yeah, it

1499
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 1: was when when you can see the relief in their body,

1500
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 1: like like when they've when they've made a point, when

1501
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: it's like oh okay, you know, when something that they've

1502
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: wondered about has been answered, they kind of relax both

1503
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: physically and mentally. That's a yeah, that's a refreshing place

1504
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 1: to be. Thanks man, Hey, and we got to get

1505
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: to a break. But I would bet Sean McDermott has

1506
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: done extensive Look, he didn't do anything on a whim.

1507
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: I bet he did extensive research in exactly the phenomenon

1508
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 1: Ben just talked about, and what you talked about on

1509
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: NFL teams right, Like I'm detecting my teammate may be

1510
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: playing robotic as you said, or you know, yeah, And

1511
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's done research on it, right, That's why

1512
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: Sean is I'm sure it's interesting too. I bet he

1513
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: showed a little bit of a video or made some

1514
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: video or picture illustration to play fearless. That's what I

1515
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: want to see. I want to know his own team

1516
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: flying around playing fearlessly. Maybe yeah, maybe interesting stuff. We're

1517
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk more interesting stuff when we come back. I'm

01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 1: Steve up here in Buffalo. Thanks coming on tunnel and

1533
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: always your pleasure to having me on. What happened to

1534
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: the tank? Yeah? Uh, it's this is like one of

1535
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: those uh social media like memes where the tank is

1536
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 1: going across the bridge and the bridge collapsed. That's what's

1537
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 1: happened the last couple of weeks with the Dolphins winning.

1538
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 1: Why why are they why are they playing better? Well?

1539
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 1: You know, uh, I guess it started with the Redskins

1540
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: game the week before the Buffalo game, and in the

1541
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of that game, Josh Rosen got benched, Ryan

1542
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick got put in the game, and suddenly it was

1543
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 1: like a vail was listed from the Dolphins eye. Then

1544
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: they saw what they were supposed to do. They rallied

1545
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. They didn't win that game, but they

1546
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: lost by one point. And the next week they played

1547
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: pretty well at Buffalo. They lost that game, and ever

1548
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 1: since then it's like been a progression of improvement. On

1549
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line, fitz is playing okay, not terrible, and

1550
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: the defense is playing okay, not terrible. And so you

1551
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: put all those okay, not terrible together and you can

1552
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 1: beat Brian Hoyer, and you can beat the New York

1553
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: Jets on a bad day for them. So that's what's happened, Armando.

1554
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: We had Ryan Fitzpatrick on the show yesterday. I wonder

1555
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: not the way he's throwing it or the place he's making,

1556
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 1: but in terms of his demeanor and his attitude and

1557
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: quite frankly, his leadership capability, what role How much of

1558
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: a role has Fitzpatrick played in these last two wins?

1559
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: Do you think absolutely a huge role because and he

1560
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: has said it himself, he's perfect for this kind of team.

1561
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:25,600
Speaker 1: This is a very young team, a team that needs directions,

1562
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 1: but also a team that needs confidence. And Ryan Fitzpatrick

1563
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: is full of direction and full of confidence. He's been

1564
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: there and done that over his career, and you know,

1565
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of new things that are going

1566
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: to upset him, that are going to rattle him, including

1567
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 1: a losing streak, which he has been a part of

1568
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: previously on multiple stops in the NFL. So that and

1569
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 1: the fact that the guy is just he just gets it.

1570
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:03,879
Speaker 1: I you know, people like him in the building. Players

1571
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: want to play for him, they want they want to

1572
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 1: produce so that as to not let him down. And

1573
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: that's infectious and it is working. How much credit does

1574
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: Brian Flores get for this team hanging together and when

1575
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: I know he has said publicly they're going to try

1576
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,680
Speaker 1: and win every game despite the rhetoric of tanking that's

1577
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: going around Miami right now. But how much credit does

1578
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: Brian Flores get for holding this team together, and how

1579
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: good a job is he doing in the midst of

1580
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 1: all this. Yes, Steve, I've given him a bunch of

1581
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: credit and he deserves it, because if you look at

1582
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: this roster, I mean, let's face it, this is not

1583
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 1: a good roster. This is a roster built to lose.

1584
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: And despite that, and despite the fact that they really

1585
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 1: did take it on the chin to start the season

1586
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: and we're not enjoying any sort of success even through

1587
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 1: the midway point of the season, they still played hard,

1588
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: and they still tried hard, and they kept improving. All

1589
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: of those things are you know, coaching points. You want

1590
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: your team to continue to improve as the season wears on.

1591
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,600
Speaker 1: You don't want your team to quit even in the

1592
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: face of failure, and they didn't. And on the other hand,

1593
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: they are improving. And so all of that reflects back

1594
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: on the coaching and it's not just Bryan Flores, but

1595
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: also his staff that he's put together, which by and

1596
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 1: large are also rookie coaches at the positions that they're

1597
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: currently occupying. With Armando Salgaro of the Miami Herald, Armando

1598
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: I was telling my partner up here, Steve, earlier today

1599
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,799
Speaker 1: in the show that I would argue that the Dolphins

1600
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: roster might be less talented than it was four weeks

1601
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: ago when they were here. Right the Walton is out,

1602
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: Preston Williams is gone, Kenyan Drake has gone. They might

1603
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: not have even the talent, the meager talent they right

1604
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: up here back on October and October twenty if they

1605
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: think it was, Yeah, Xavi and Howard is on ir Yeah,

1606
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: you're absolutely correct. And it's interesting because those those losses,

1607
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 1: if you could call them losses, have not been absorbed

1608
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form in the way that

1609
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 1: they play on Sunday. Uh. Typically my experience has been

1610
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: when a team loses its start, a starting wide receiver, uh,

1611
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, a starting Pro Bowl cornerback, which is what

1612
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 1: Zavi and Howard is, the starting running back, another running

1613
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 1: back gets traded, You're you're suddenly limping along. You're no

1614
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: longer whatever you were before. The Dolphins were not good before,

1615
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: and they're better having absorbed those losses now. Yeah, and

1616
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 1: from down here, yeah it is. And it seems as though,

1617
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: you know, well Ryan Fitzpatrick is you know, doing his

1618
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: best fitz magic. You know, act next year comes into

1619
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: play and there's a guy working out in Atlanta this

1620
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: weekend named Colin Kaepernick. Is Brian Flora is going to

1621
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 1: go down and check that workout out. What's their plan

1622
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: for the future. What do they know or do not

1623
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: know about Josh Rosen. What's next step in this process

1624
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins at quarterback? So last week LSU play

1625
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:34,600
Speaker 1: at Alabama and it was to against Joe Burrow, and

1626
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: I thought everybody saw the results of that. To a

1627
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 1: lit up a really good LSU defense. Joe Burrow lit

1628
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 1: up a really good Alabama defense. The owner of the Dolphins,

1629
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: Stephen Ross, was at that game. The general manager of

1630
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, Chris Greer, was at that game. And that's

1631
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: where this whole train is headed. They want one of

1632
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:06,560
Speaker 1: those two guys to be the quarterback next year. And

1633
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: if not one of those two guys, if those two guys,

1634
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 1: if this tank really you know, gets derailed and they're

1635
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 1: not in position to draft one of those two guys,

1636
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: it'll be another guy that they draft, maybe Justin Herbert.

1637
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't know who beyond those two guys, but clearly

1638
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: that's the focus. It's not Colin Kaepernick, it's not necessarily

1639
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, it's not necessarily Josh Rosen. Armando. You wrote

1640
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: about the tanking process on Monday, a really interesting column

1641
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: about how the Dolphins organization. I'm not saying they're working

1642
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 1: across purposes, but they're split. Right. You got the coaching

1643
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: staff and the players on one side, and maybe Chris

1644
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 1: Greer and the ownership on the other. You write, one

1645
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,639
Speaker 1: part of the organization is tanking, another part is doing

1646
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: all it knows to do to win. Does that work?

1647
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:03,560
Speaker 1: Is that working? Well? You see now that it was

1648
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,720
Speaker 1: working fine until the last couple of weeks ago they

1649
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: started winning. And here's the thing. I mean, on the

1650
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: one hand, you have an organization that did not really

1651
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 1: chase a starting caliber quarterback because let's face it, we

1652
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: love Ryan Fitzpatrick and all of that, but if he's

1653
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 1: your starter, you're not a good team. And the Miami

1654
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: Dolphins were the only team in the NFL that offered

1655
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: him a chance to start. The Dolphins also then traded

1656
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 1: for Josh Rosen. They gave up a second round pick,

1657
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: They gave up a fifth round pick for a failed

1658
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: former first rounder failed the previous year. So everyone in

1659
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: Miami is thinking, hey, so let's see what Josh Rosen

1660
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: has to offer in a year when you know, winning

1661
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:56,680
Speaker 1: is not necessarily the priority, except that what do we have.

1662
01:22:57,120 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen is on the bench. Ryan Patrick is playing,

1663
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: and so the personnel department that traded for Josh Rosen

1664
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: is on the one hand trying to see about the future.

1665
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: The coaching staff, the head coach is playing the guy

1666
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 1: that giving him the best chance to win right now,

1667
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: and the future, you know, be damned because right now

1668
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 1: I want to win on Sunday. Well, so it's a

1669
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,560
Speaker 1: it's a division of agendas. Yeah, right, exactly. One of

1670
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 1: the things that happened with this team, particularly a month

1671
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: ago when they started to play Buffalo, they kind of

1672
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: uncovered a flaw in Buffalo that teams have been able

1673
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,679
Speaker 1: to exploit, and that's the Bill's run defense. Have Miami

1674
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: exercised any more success with their run game since they

1675
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:49,719
Speaker 1: played Buffalo that they showed in Buffalo zero They're terrible

1676
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 1: running the ball. They're just, I mean, they really are

1677
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 1: terrible as in thirty seconds. And again, you know, they

1678
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: traded Kenyan Drake and Mark Walton is on suspension, and

1679
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,799
Speaker 1: the guy that's starting for them now is Calen Balaj,

1680
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 1: who should be good. He's two hundred and thirty pounds.

1681
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 1: He's six foot he looks like, you know, a weaponized

1682
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: armored personnel carrier, and he runs four or five but

1683
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 1: he gets tackled at first contact almost all the time.

1684
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: He doesn't break tackled, and that's why he's averaging two

1685
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 1: yards to carry. And it's it's that's the way it's

1686
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: been this year for him. Last thing for you, Armando,

1687
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: how stunned would you be if the Dolphins managed to

1688
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:46,560
Speaker 1: win their third straight this Sunday? I would be surprised.

1689
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: But I know that the Buffalo Bills are a solid team,

1690
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 1: not a great team, and they are on the road,

1691
01:24:57,439 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: and they are playing a team that is highly motive.

1692
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 1: They did now and is confident that the last time

1693
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 1: that they played, they gave Buffalo all the Buffalo good

1694
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 1: handle in Buffalo. So if I'm the Bills, I wouldn't

1695
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 1: take the Dolphins lightly. I'm sure that's what I've been said.

1696
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be just like the rest

1697
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 1: of the Bills games. It's gonna come down and it's

1698
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna be very tight at the end, and we'll see

1699
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: who can make some plays at the end of the

1700
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: game to win it. I totally agree. Armando, thank you

1701
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 1: for this. It's always good to talk to you. Thank

1702
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:29,480
Speaker 1: you very much. It's always my pleasure. Guys, Armando Sargaro

1703
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 1: at Miami Harold Coulumness. He is a Radio dot Com

1704
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 1: Sports NFL insider, brought to you by the mid Sized

1705
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 1: Metres from Mercedes Benz. You get the sense I love Armando.

1706
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 1: He is a little bit be mused, like just kind

1707
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: of like confused a little bit about what when I'm

1708
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: the last two weeks down there, those two string wins,

1709
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Well, he's right bad, They're

1710
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: so bad. They got three turnovers. Did they did they

1711
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,920
Speaker 1: commit three turnovers the Dolphins last week? Or did they

1712
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 1: get three turnovers from the Colts that led to thirteen points?

1713
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: I can't. I got to look that up and see.

1714
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: But their turnovers were a huge factor in the outcome

1715
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: last week against the Colts. Brian Horrier was the quarterback

1716
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Jacoby Brissette sat down before that they

1717
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 1: played at Jets and easy you can sell it was

1718
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: a bad day for the Jets down in um in

1719
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: that game that the Miami Dolphins beat them. But you know,

1720
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: for a team that you're telling me, they're not very talented.

1721
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 1: They no good. They won two straight games against two

1722
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: bad teams. Well, people are saying that about this team too.

1723
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 1: What Miami, they know the Bills. They were seeing the

1724
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: one guy said ship they've won six games against They've

1725
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: won six games against six bad teams. Uh huh, all right,

1726
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 1: we got a break, We're coming back. What do you

1727
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,839
Speaker 1: think about coach McDermott telling his team to play fearless?

1728
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 1: What do you think he means? Got phone lines open

1739
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: off the field, yeah, just off the fields, off the field. Yeah,

1740
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: yesterday outdoors today indoors. Oh yeah, kind of night and

1741
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 1: day in terms of temperature. Yeah, it was nice out

1742
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: there though. Yesterday sun was out, which is nice. You

1743
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 1: are a Florida native I am. Do you like playing

1744
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: games in Florida? Um? I like anywhere cold warm. I

1745
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: went to BC, so we got a little experience of

1746
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the cold up there as well. Yeah. So we had

1747
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 1: this story going around today that Josh said, the coach

1748
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,639
Speaker 1: has had all you guys down and said to play

1749
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 1: start playing fearless. He wants you to play fearless. That

1750
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: was what that mean to you, guys. It just means

1751
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: to stop thinking about a little little things and just

1752
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: go out there and attack mode and swarm to the

1753
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 1: ball and be aggressive and make plays, basically what he

1754
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 1: was saying. Did you guys feel like maybe on even

1755
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 1: on your side of the ball and defense, that you were,

1756
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be just right too much? Um?

1757
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: I think a little bit of combination of everything was

1758
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: going on. But now they got us playing free and

1759
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 1: playing fast, so it should be interesting to watch us

1760
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Man, is there a sense that you were

1761
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 1: playing more fearlessly earlier this season than maybe you had

1762
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,639
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Is that why? I think

1763
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: so a little bit, a little bit of that. A

1764
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,440
Speaker 1: couple of runs hit us, Um, starting with that Philadelphia

1765
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: game and then the Miami game as well. A couple

1766
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: of things hit us there. So we're just trying to

1767
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 1: bounce back, stop the run and then create takeaways and

1768
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: the run defense. You know, obviously the numbers reflected, but

1769
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: I think when you say a couple runs, I think

1770
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 1: you're right. There have been some big runs, but there

1771
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 1: are also long stretches, even in these last four games

1772
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 1: or so four or five games now where you got

1773
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: shut down the opponents run. Yeah, you know what I mean.

1774
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 1: It's not like we're getting trampled here. It's like, oh

1775
01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: that was a big one. We get we let go. Yeah,

1776
01:28:58,160 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: I think I think that's what happens. The media starts

1777
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: blowing things out up a portion sometimes, but UM, we

1778
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: just gotta stick to what we do. You know, guys

1779
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 1: flying around, like you said, Um, coach cabus that green

1780
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: light to go this week, so we're gonna be going.

1781
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: How different is this Miami team than the one he

1782
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: faced a month ago? Um? Pretty different. They got a

1783
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: couple of guys out running backs especially, but the guys

1784
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: in there that are there NFL running back, So we

1785
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: don't take anybody lightly cheat every game saying you may

1786
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 1: not like the squad. I said to Steve at the

1787
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 1: start of the show, I think the Dolphins have less

1788
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 1: talent offensively now than they did a month ago when

1789
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 1: they were here. With the running back to Kenyan Drake

1790
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 1: has gone, Walton's gone, the receiver Williams has gone. I

1791
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 1: didn't even know if they and they didn't have a

1792
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 1: great line up here a month ago, but I didn't

1793
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 1: even know if they're that good anymore. You know. Yeah,

1794
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't call anybody not good anymore. I

1795
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:43,120
Speaker 1: guess the NFL everybody's everybody's solid, but they're not to

1796
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: that caliber. I guess what you're saying. But um, yeah,

1797
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 1: we're treating them. We treat every game like we got

1798
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:50,320
Speaker 1: to win this game. What did you see from them

1799
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:52,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of games that, Yeah, how do they

1800
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 1: got a little bit of momentum going? Yeah, they're making

1801
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: plays on defense as well, and then they're just they're

1802
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 1: getting win. So yeah, we gotta take that away. It

1803
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: does show up on film, though, this attitude they've got where.

1804
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're kind of playing fearless. Yeah right,

1805
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:09,840
Speaker 1: I believe so. Yep, you did not play in the

1806
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 1: first Miami game, right, that was when you missed a

1807
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 1: couple of games or is that the only one you missed, Yes,

1808
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: that was the one you missed. Yeah, so you must.

1809
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 1: And the fact that the Dolphins did pretty well in

1810
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: that game, you can kind of you would help get

1811
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 1: back at him this week, I would think, right, yeah,

1812
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to be back out there. Don't like

1813
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,439
Speaker 1: missing games at all. Yeah, um, family will come to

1814
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:31,160
Speaker 1: the game. How close you're not close to Miami my recollection? No,

1815
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 1: not too close during a half hours from Orlando. They

1816
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:35,800
Speaker 1: come to most of your games anyway. Yeah, they're up here.

1817
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 1: They'll be there. Got some friends comments, some family comments.

1818
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 1: How many tickets you have to get? Should be awesome.

1819
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 1: Not too many? Actually I haven't got any, to be honest.

1820
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they get their own, right, Yeah, BlimE me,

1821
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:49,679
Speaker 1: they get them. Yeah, they can buy better ones down there, right, Yeah, exactly,

1822
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 1: that's great. I asked this question Steve back when he played,

1823
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 1: asked him early in the show. I'll ask you we

1824
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:56,600
Speaker 1: are going to a week eleven game, number ten for

1825
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:58,880
Speaker 1: the Bills. Do you feel like these are the dog

1826
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 1: days of the season, Like, man, we've been at this

1827
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: for almost four months now and the end is not

1828
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: in sight, which is a good yeah. Um, to be honest,

1829
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 1: I had it my rookie my rookie year a little bit.

1830
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 1: Um kind of hit that wall and then got through

1831
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:11,720
Speaker 1: it once you can kind of see the light at

1832
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel. Right now. I'm good. Body's

1833
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:16,720
Speaker 1: feeling good, My mindset is good. I know the weather

1834
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:18,960
Speaker 1: is not the best up here right now, but we're

1835
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 1: going to Miami and some nice weather, so it should be.

1836
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if you can

1837
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 1: answer this, but the injury report for the Bills this

1838
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 1: week is like empty. There's nobody, got a couple of

1839
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:31,560
Speaker 1: guys taking vet days. It's really unprecedented, because not unprecedented,

1840
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,400
Speaker 1: but usually there's like anything like the Miami they got

1841
01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 1: like nine guys listed on their on the injury list.

1842
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,960
Speaker 1: But this team seems too at this point be really

1843
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 1: really healthy. What do you is there a reason for that,

1844
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:44,760
Speaker 1: some sort of generalization you can make about why this

1845
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 1: team has escape out now. Certainly you've got guys that

1846
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 1: have gone on ir like like Harrison and guys. But

1847
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 1: but for the most part, you don't have anybody carrying

1848
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 1: around luggage. You know. Yeah, I'm not I'm not sure.

1849
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: To be honest, I don't want to change you guys

1850
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:58,840
Speaker 1: feel it? Do you feel that? Like everybody is on

1851
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 1: the practice field now, yeah, it feels good. Everybody's out there,

1852
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 1: everybody's running fast, everybody's playing hard. So I'm luckily we're

01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 1: not We're not deep on our injury report. Man, thanks

1896
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:19,000

1903
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 1: on Dawson Knox, a sore knee. Head coach Sean McDermot

1904
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:42,680
Speaker 1: said he expects the rookie back at practice tomorrow. A

1905
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: minor issue. That's good to know. Dawson Knox in the

1906
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:47,960
Speaker 1: street clothes on the sidelines today. They need him, Steve,

1907
01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 1: they need to use him. They need to get him

1908
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:56,439
Speaker 1: going in the offense along with Tyler Croft. Yes, I

1909
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: always want to say Tyler Eifford, but no, Tyler Croft.

1910
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: They need to get those going in the offense. Is

1911
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:03,679
Speaker 1: weapons in this right now, and they're gonna score points

1912
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: this week. I guarantee you those. I'm getting more convinced

1913
01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 1: as the show goes along. Look, the Bill scored thirty

1914
01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:12,160
Speaker 1: one against Miami a month ago. You don't think they

1915
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 1: can do it again. I think they can this right now.

1916
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 1: This Bill's offense does need to have every weapon available

1917
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 1: and full go so they can score some points on

1918
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 1: and they got to do it on a consistent basis.

1919
01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 1: They come out and I I'm i gotta say, I don't.

1920
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:33,519
Speaker 1: I don't think they will score thirty I think that,

1921
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think all they need to do is

1922
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 1: score twenty. You know, they used to keep twenty twenty

1923
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:41,160
Speaker 1: to twenty five, and it'll be a step forward for them.

1924
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:43,880
Speaker 1: They scored twenty four and now especially you know they

1925
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:46,200
Speaker 1: got an onside kick return. But the offense scored twenty

1926
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 1: four points against this Miami team a month ago. That

1927
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 1: would have been enough. But that's what they gotta do.

1928
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:55,639
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to score that much. And I think

1929
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:57,160
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a close game. I think this

1930
01:35:57,840 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 1: this Miami team is going to figure out a way

1931
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 1: to keep this thing close. They're not good. They are

1932
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:04,680
Speaker 1: not good, but all they have to be is good enough.

1933
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 1: And see, I don't they've they've done that the last

1934
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Did you hear coach mcdermot's message, I

1935
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:12,240
Speaker 1: don't think you have you fear the Dolphins. Don't fear

1936
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, be fearless. Did you hear what the coach said,

1937
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:20,200
Speaker 1: fearless attack? How do we trade places on this? I'm

1938
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 1: just saying this, what do you mean trade places? I'm

1939
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm usually the one that's like, yeah, I think Miami's

1940
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 1: really bad, I really do. And I think the Bills

1941
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: are pretty good, not great. I think the Bills have

1942
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:34,200
Speaker 1: serious issues on offense. I think many of them will

1943
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:38,160
Speaker 1: not be permanently solved, but will look a lot better

1944
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 1: this week against an inferior opponent. That's what I'm saying.

1945
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 1: I think it's a week to week league in Miami.

1946
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:45,720
Speaker 1: Place pretty well every week this last for the last month,

1947
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: they've played pretty well every week, and they've given whatever

1948
01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 1: team they've played fits, no no pun intended. So yeah,

1949
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm and let's face it, Yeah, they beat the Dolts,

1950
01:36:57,880 --> 01:36:59,840
Speaker 1: they beat the Jets on the Jets had a bad day.

1951
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:04,680
Speaker 1: They beat the Colds with Brian Hoyer at quarterback. The

1952
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 1: Bills opponents are twelve and fifty four. The Bills wins,

1953
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 1: the six wins they've got came from teams that are

1954
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:14,480
Speaker 1: now this week twelve and fifty four on the Patriots

1955
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:17,559
Speaker 1: opponents records are Yeah, it might not be the better.

1956
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,600
Speaker 1: It's pretty similar, yeah, very similar, and they've got like

1957
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:23,600
Speaker 1: what two more wins than we do. Um yeah, I

1958
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:26,560
Speaker 1: I you're right that you don't set the schedule, But

1959
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 1: if if you're looking for darts to throw at it

1960
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins and who they beat the last couple

1961
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 1: of weeks, you know, don't throw darts if you know,

1962
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 1: if you're wearing a dartboard for a jacket, you know whatever,

1963
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 1: don't throw stones. If you don't live in a glass house,

1964
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:48,519
Speaker 1: don't throw stones, you know, right exactly. So, Yeah, I

1965
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a good football game. I

1966
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be close, competitive like this one. Last

1967
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 1: week was like the ones the Bills always play. I

1968
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:55,800
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be just like that because I think

1969
01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 1: that's the way this team's constructed, and until they show

1970
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:02,280
Speaker 1: other wise, I think that's what you expect. What do

1971
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 1: you think coach mcdermoty wants him to be fearless? What

1972
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 1: do you think he means? Send it a tweet. We're

1973
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:08,680
Speaker 1: going to read more off the tweet sheet. Give us

1974
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:11,720
Speaker 1: a call eight three fifty toll free one eight eight

1975
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:14,640
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Before we get to a call,

1976
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:16,479
Speaker 1: Steve has a point to I will I will say

1977
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: this in deference to you as my mentor or whatever

1978
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,880
Speaker 1: you want to call my elder statesman. I see what

1979
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 1: you see in this game. The Bills are due big time.

1980
01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:31,120
Speaker 1: And I think, and I think you agree with me,

1981
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,280
Speaker 1: they've got a lot more talent on their offense than

1982
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 1: they have been able to show and make click thus

1983
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:39,400
Speaker 1: far in the season, and I think they are due

1984
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 1: to have one of those light switch games where a

1985
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 1: couple and it doesn't need to be much. You know

1986
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 1: this as well as I do. And two plays, a

1987
01:38:46,479 --> 01:38:49,200
Speaker 1: couple of clicks of the light switch, and this team

1988
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 1: one click in the light switch, and this team becomes

1989
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 1: very different offensively because I think they do have some

1990
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 1: things under their hood that they have just not been

1991
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 1: able to make go. They have all the talent they

1992
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:03,720
Speaker 1: need to make that happen, particularly in this particular game. Now,

1993
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: having said that, I see what you see, but you know,

1994
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 1: I just think it's the way I've seen things happen

1995
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:14,800
Speaker 1: in the league this year, and the way this team

1996
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:16,960
Speaker 1: has played. I think it's going to be another close game.

1997
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:20,879
Speaker 1: They've got that talent and a pretty serious talent advantage

1998
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 1: over the Dolphins. I think they've got that even on offense.

1999
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:28,599
Speaker 1: I think the Bill's talent excels or is a solid

2000
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 1: comparison with Miami. And now they got the coach basically

2001
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,840
Speaker 1: turning on the green light yesterday. Let's go get these guys,

2002
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:37,280
Speaker 1: Let's be fearless, make plays, Let's go. I think it'll

2003
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:40,599
Speaker 1: make a difference calls Rich in Buffalo. Go ahead, Rich

2004
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 1: around the air. Where if I called you two weeks

2005
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:46,800
Speaker 1: ago and said, don't turn a Ferrari into a Volkswagon.

2006
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 1: Josh is a schoolyard quarterback, and let him be what

2007
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:53,799
Speaker 1: he is. I've voiced my displeasure with Dabo, and Tasker

2008
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,640
Speaker 1: ripped me and told me I'm crazy. Now everyone is

2009
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,959
Speaker 1: unhappy with this small temple ball control off and everyone's

2010
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:04,759
Speaker 1: in the panic. Twenty years of this tempo control offense.

2011
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 1: Murph is spelled the still fans. Let me tell you

2012
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: something a roll I can it leaks. Let him go

2013
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 1: down swinging? So who's crazy? Now? He's gonna hang up

2014
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 1: before we can richell you there. Don't hang up, Rich,

2015
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 1: you're crazy. I can say you're crazy here, Davo, what

2016
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:25,519
Speaker 1: do you mean twenty years of a slow tempo offense.

2017
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Tempo is a factor inside everything.

2018
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 1: Rich and Steve's gonna take your party. Go ahead, but

2019
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm set. I don't know what that means. A schoolyard quarterback.

2020
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:38,640
Speaker 1: What with Josh? You don't try to try to make

2021
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 1: and they think Josh Allen's Brett Farve in disguise what

2022
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:45,360
Speaker 1: they what they meant, right, I don't know. I don't

2023
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 1: know if that. If he is, I'll say that they

2024
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:50,639
Speaker 1: think he's gonna turn into Randall Cunningham. You know, let's

2025
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 1: go anything for another one. What's another one? What's another

2026
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:56,680
Speaker 1: guy like that? I came, you know, I don't know

2027
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:03,560
Speaker 1: now and he's like everybody here because the master of

2028
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 1: hang up here's my I get it every and we

2029
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 1: get a couple of calls like this and today, you know,

2030
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 1: when one guy chimes in, another couple of people usually

2031
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,800
Speaker 1: call in later, like Rich is a good example. They

2032
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:19,759
Speaker 1: think up tempo, fast paced is gonna do the trick.

2033
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 1: Maybe it will, Maybe it will. Um. I always I

2034
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 1: always like that, you know. I like the results when

2035
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:31,560
Speaker 1: they come through and there and they work. Um. And

2036
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know why they have not done more of it.

2037
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:35,479
Speaker 1: And I guess a couple of people out there and

2038
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 1: maybe they're And maybe we'll get in a call from

2039
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 1: somebody else who says the same thing. I haven't observed him.

2040
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 1: Do fat them do enough fast paced offense and have

2041
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: the kind of success that you're alluding to the callers

2042
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 1: that I would think it'd be the answer. Certainly they've

2043
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 1: done a couple of things on fast paced, and I

2044
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:54,560
Speaker 1: don't I could even tell you which game it was

2045
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:56,599
Speaker 1: or whatever, But I don't think they do that every

2046
01:41:56,680 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 1: game by any stretch. Um. They certainly got criticized for

2047
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:02,840
Speaker 1: not being fast enough on the last third down they're

2048
01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:05,639
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. They like they wasted too much time, taking

2049
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: them extra few seconds to huddle up and get the

2050
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:09,720
Speaker 1: right play call in, and there's been a lot of

2051
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 1: conversation about that. I don't you know, that's the furthest

2052
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 1: thing from costing them that game, I think, But I

2053
01:42:16,320 --> 01:42:21,280
Speaker 1: haven't seen them run fast paced, tempoed offense like forget

2054
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:23,400
Speaker 1: about no huddle. I haven't seen him do that very much.

2055
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: But I haven't seen him do that enough this year

2056
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:27,680
Speaker 1: and have the kind of success that makes me think

2057
01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 1: back and go remember when you know, I just don't

2058
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,559
Speaker 1: remember that happening. And we get a couple of callers

2059
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:36,160
Speaker 1: to say it. They're acting like that happens constantly. I

2060
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:39,240
Speaker 1: haven't seen that. Maybe I'm missing it. But next person

2061
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 1: who calls in and tells me that fast pace, make

2062
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 1: sure you tell me which game and when it happened,

2063
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:45,880
Speaker 1: so I can go back and look at it and

2064
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 1: maybe but I do agree pace has a tempo and

2065
01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:52,160
Speaker 1: pace and even no huddle offense has a place in

2066
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:55,560
Speaker 1: every team's arsenal. I just don't know that I have

2067
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:58,400
Speaker 1: seen the kind of success you're alluding to in your

2068
01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 1: calls about that proving already to you that app's going

2069
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: to be the magic elixtor that fixes this offense. I

2070
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:07,880
Speaker 1: haven't seen that. But if it's out there and you

2071
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 1: have an instance where you can go back and look

2072
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:12,679
Speaker 1: in this season and tell me the game and the drive,

2073
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 1: let me go back and look at it and see

2074
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 1: if I can remember, because I don't. And you know

2075
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:20,000
Speaker 1: what else happens that Again, I'm not anti tempo, right,

2076
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm the last person. I love it. It's fun, but

2077
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:24,960
Speaker 1: it's not an electure that fixes everything. But what happens

2078
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes a team will come out and we're going up tempo,

2079
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 1: we're going no huddle this series three and out and

2080
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: nobody remembers it. It's like, oh, because it's not a failure.

2081
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like we went three and out

2082
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 1: because we were up tempo. No, we went three and

2083
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:40,760
Speaker 1: out because we didn't make plays. We didn't execute right.

2084
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: If you're up tempo and you make plays and execute

2085
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the tempo looks like it's

2086
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:47,880
Speaker 1: the reason why. I mean there necessarily, I mean there's yeah,

2087
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 1: everything could everything can blow up in your face. Slow

2088
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,080
Speaker 1: tempo and fast tempo and you know, no huddle and

2089
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:54,560
Speaker 1: huddle up. I mean, they can all blow up in

2090
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 1: your face. But if you if there's somebody out there

2091
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:01,760
Speaker 1: who can tell me, because I can't, I seriously can't

2092
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 1: remember because I hear people saying, hey, when they do

2093
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:08,320
Speaker 1: this up Temple when because I don't remember, do you, uh,

2094
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 1: they've tried it? I mean I remember we talked, right,

2095
01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: we talked about this an opening day in Jets Statum

2096
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:16,880
Speaker 1: where they came out and they were all clustered and

2097
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 1: they did it, and they moved and they shifted a

2098
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 1: couple of times, and they had motion. They did a

2099
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 1: lot of pre snap motion and shifts. I remember that.

2100
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:25,800
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's been some times at the end

2101
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:27,280
Speaker 1: of halves or the end of games where they were

2102
01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:28,640
Speaker 1: kind of in a hurry up and they seemed to

2103
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, they obviously they're six and three. They made

2104
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:35,679
Speaker 1: some things happen at the end of games. So just when,

2105
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:37,599
Speaker 1: tell me when, so I can go back and watch

2106
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:41,080
Speaker 1: Spencer in Santamacca. Hello, Spencer, go ahead, you're in the air. Hey,

2107
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Jet good? Hey? Um. I think

2108
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 1: when they they're talking about up Temple, I think they're

2109
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:48,960
Speaker 1: talking about the scripted plays when they come out after

2110
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:52,200
Speaker 1: the get into the start of the first second half

2111
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,679
Speaker 1: and the start of the first half. I think most

2112
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 1: of those are scripted. I think I think the start

2113
01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: of the game, the game is certainly I mean the

2114
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 1: start of the game. He's on the same page when

2115
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 1: he come out from half time. Right. My concern is

2116
01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:08,639
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen doesn't seem to be seeing his wife,

2117
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,559
Speaker 1: his receivers very well. I mean, there's guys that are

2118
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:13,880
Speaker 1: open that he's you know, and he's running with the

2119
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:16,680
Speaker 1: ball because I don't know the line is still part

2120
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:19,479
Speaker 1: of the problem. Well, but it seems like he's having

2121
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:21,720
Speaker 1: to bail out of the pocket a lot. Despencer, I

2122
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:23,560
Speaker 1: think you're onto something. And I mentioned I mentioned that

2123
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 1: here Monday, you know, and it's not a look. I

2124
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:29,560
Speaker 1: would not say that's a consistent negative for Josh, but

2125
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 1: it was this past Sunday, and I think it has

2126
01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 1: been a kind of a prevalent theme of his twenty

2127
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:37,400
Speaker 1: NFL starts. I've said it Monday, right, He's got to

2128
01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 1: see the field better. He's got to see the field,

2129
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:42,320
Speaker 1: got to recognize, diagnose what he sees from the defense,

2130
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 1: and make quicker decisions. I agree with that, and that

2131
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 1: is a work in progress. I think he's better at

2132
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 1: it now than he was a year ago, but there's

2133
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 1: still a room to room to grow and much more

2134
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,120
Speaker 1: work to be done. The game slowed down enough for

2135
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: him yet, Well, right, it's going to take time, comes

2136
01:45:57,080 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 1: up to the line. He's looking everywhere, and that's all

2137
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:03,560
Speaker 1: I got. All right, Spencer, Thanks and I agree with you.

2138
01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:05,600
Speaker 1: I remember when he first started. I mean he was

2139
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:07,720
Speaker 1: he was dropping back looking one spot and if it

2140
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,640
Speaker 1: wasn't there, that he was off and running. It's not

2141
01:46:10,760 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 1: like that now. It's getting better and better. Or he's

2142
01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:15,880
Speaker 1: getting better and better at holding the ball and looking

2143
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,200
Speaker 1: to his second option and third option and making some

2144
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:21,640
Speaker 1: plays and extending plays as well. But also this year,

2145
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 1: unlike last year, he does have time once in a while,

2146
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:26,840
Speaker 1: not all the time, but pretty consistently to stand in

2147
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:31,240
Speaker 1: there like and like Leamy his finger quote. A normal

2148
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:33,960
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL has time. That's the kind of

2149
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: time Josh Allen has and at times once in a

2150
01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 1: while he's got a lot extra time. We can all

2151
01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 1: pictures points in this season where he stood back there

2152
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 1: and had ample time to throw, and he's completed a

2153
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:45,599
Speaker 1: lot of passes. He's pretty good when he's not under pressure.

2154
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:48,639
Speaker 1: His statistics are much better when he's not under pressure.

2155
01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:52,679
Speaker 1: That's not the case with every quarterback. So he's getting

2156
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:54,920
Speaker 1: better on that front. But yeah, there's a lot of

2157
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:57,720
Speaker 1: work for him to be to do and and he's

2158
01:46:57,760 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 1: probably he'd he'd be a first tell he's not seen

2159
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: it like he should all the time, but he is.

2160
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:04,760
Speaker 1: I think there's I mean, if you go back and

2161
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:07,599
Speaker 1: watch the early part starts in his career, the twenty

2162
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 1: first five or six starts, Yeah, he's a completely different

2163
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:13,679
Speaker 1: guy miles ahead. And I will say this too, you're

2164
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 1: not playing the same defenses every week, the same personnel,

2165
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:18,680
Speaker 1: the same schemes. I mean, the Patriots make a lot

2166
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:20,720
Speaker 1: of people look bad. They made Josh look really bad

2167
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 1: back in October September, late September. There are defenses that

2168
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:28,960
Speaker 1: can't do what the Patriots did. And by the way,

2169
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:30,759
Speaker 1: I happen to think this Sunday he'll be up against

2170
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:32,800
Speaker 1: one of them that doesn't have the personnel nor the

2171
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 1: familiarity with the scheme to confuse Josh or maybe make

2172
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,600
Speaker 1: his decision making slower. I think, look, I'm expecting a

2173
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:41,639
Speaker 1: big game from him this week, and I think part

2174
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:43,439
Speaker 1: of it is because of what McDermott said, you know,

2175
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 1: let's play fearlessly. This is going to be one of

2176
01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:48,960
Speaker 1: the few times in his first twenty starts where he's

2177
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 1: going to see the same defensive coordinator in the same

2178
01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 1: defensive or large with the same defensive personnel for the

2179
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: second time in a season. Yep, and a lot of

2180
01:47:57,439 --> 01:47:59,519
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have said that's a big difference maker. It does

2181
01:47:59,560 --> 01:48:01,120
Speaker 1: start to slow down when you start to do that.

2182
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:04,280
Speaker 1: One more reason why Murph's prediction may come true. I

2183
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 1: haven't done a prediction yet. Well, you said they're gonna

2184
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:10,440
Speaker 1: score thirty, score thirty and win. Here is Trent in California.

2185
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:15,559
Speaker 1: Hello Trent, you'reround the air with this what's up guy? Well,

2186
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:19,559
Speaker 1: enjoy you guys show. But and there was I think

2187
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:21,599
Speaker 1: one of the things that I mean, we have Josh

2188
01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 1: John Brown. He's been awesome this year. I mean I

2189
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 1: think he's on pace to be about twelve hundred yards receiving.

2190
01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean Cole Beasley. We brought him in. I mean

2191
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:34,760
Speaker 1: he's showed us some flashes. I mean in the last game,

2192
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of times where he was open

2193
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:39,040
Speaker 1: on third and two but went for the deep ball.

2194
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:41,120
Speaker 1: They didn't want to run the ball. So I think

2195
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 1: who needs to play Paris is the coaching staff, not McDermott.

2196
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:47,640
Speaker 1: Mcdermot's done a great job here in Buffalo, but I

2197
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 1: think Brian Dabo. I mean a couple of third and twos,

2198
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:53,440
Speaker 1: you're going deep on a deep pass, and those situations

2199
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:58,240
Speaker 1: were actually, if you think about it, they're four down territory,

2200
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:00,680
Speaker 1: possibly run at third down. If you don't have it,

2201
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 1: you have another fourth down. He said, you're going and

2202
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 1: a deep ball. Guys are running down the fields coming

2203
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,320
Speaker 1: back on a fourth down trying to possibly go for

2204
01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 1: a fourth dollion. Most you're gonna have to puny it

2205
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 1: or go for the field goal a lot. Trent. Look

2206
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:15,599
Speaker 1: just a minute, though, Trent. Here's the thing. When when

2207
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:19,240
Speaker 1: the when Josh Allen throws deep on a third and two,

2208
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 1: don't take for granted that it was a deep ball call.

2209
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:26,880
Speaker 1: That's on Josh that's not on that's not on Brian Dable.

2210
01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,600
Speaker 1: They didn't send four guys vertical on the third and

2211
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 1: four or the third and two and say we're gonna

2212
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:38,960
Speaker 1: go deep or bust. There's guys underneath. And even on

2213
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:45,160
Speaker 1: the third down, the last incomplete third down play, Josh

2214
01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: Allen called that play and adjusted it the line of scrimmage.

2215
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 1: That was his call, not the offensive coordinator's call. So

2216
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:52,640
Speaker 1: a lot of that's going on. So don't think just

2217
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:58,280
Speaker 1: because the ball goes deep that a deep ball was called. Correct.

2218
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you with but it is

2219
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator's job to get the quarterback and let

2220
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:07,400
Speaker 1: him know, hey, this is a situation. There's a situation

2221
01:50:07,439 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: you're going to It's a third and two, possibly a

2222
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 1: fourth down, and fine day Bore kind of reminds me

2223
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:15,360
Speaker 1: of our old offensor, a coordinator that we had a

2224
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,200
Speaker 1: few years ago, a great roman and he kind of

2225
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 1: has flashes as the same guy as the Browns coach

2226
01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens. So I mean, I mean, that's a few things.

2227
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:26,840
Speaker 1: I think it just needs to be adjusted in the game.

2228
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: I think this game, I mean, there's a possibly this

2229
01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:31,799
Speaker 1: might be a breakout game where we score over thirty

2230
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 1: A Murph said, um, and you know it's one of

2231
01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 1: those games. Okay, we looked at the game film last week.

2232
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 1: We let one slip we're coming out hungry because I

2233
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:45,880
Speaker 1: think the players have been playing out hungry. I mean

2234
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing that the coaching staff as a coaching style

2235
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:51,160
Speaker 1: counle players. They're playing their lives. I mean one field

2236
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 1: goal away to go to overtime and see what happens,

2237
01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: or possibly make both the field goals and would have won.

2238
01:50:57,479 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 1: So I mean I enjoy you guys show let me

2239
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:03,639
Speaker 1: know you thanks man. Well you're you watch a lot

2240
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 1: closer than I do. If you can make comparisons between

2241
01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 1: Gran Brian Dayball, Freddie Kitchens and Greg Roman and the

2242
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:13,479
Speaker 1: style of offenses and plays that they run with three

2243
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:17,320
Speaker 1: different teams or with four different teams now with Greg

2244
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:21,759
Speaker 1: Roman on Buffalo and Baltimore, and Freddie Kitchens with Botimo

2245
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:26,080
Speaker 1: with Cleveland, and now Brian Dayble with Buffalo. That's that's

2246
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:28,960
Speaker 1: some pretty in depth comparisons right there. I can't I

2247
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:30,800
Speaker 1: can't argue with anything you might find on that. I

2248
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:33,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't see any similarities because I wouldn't

2249
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:34,400
Speaker 1: know what to look for. Well, the first thing I

2250
01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 1: thought is he saying they look like each other? No,

2251
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:41,920
Speaker 1: I kind of do, don't they Greg Roman and Brian

2252
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 1: Dable and Freddie Kitchens And yeah, they're not, you know, identic,

2253
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:49,519
Speaker 1: they're twins. I'm just saying, Everett and Freedonia, it kind

2254
01:51:49,560 --> 01:51:51,760
Speaker 1: of looked like each other. I Everett in the show,

2255
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 1: Hello there, good go ahead, Everett. Well, I just ever

2256
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:00,760
Speaker 1: you gotta turn that radio down, and you're killing us.

2257
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:08,800
Speaker 1: H Well, coach is common on play with reckless abandonment

2258
01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:13,719
Speaker 1: at the forties some years of coaching from prep schools

2259
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:17,920
Speaker 1: all the way through college. I want to say that

2260
01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:23,080
Speaker 1: too often some teams go into a game with the

2261
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 1: ideas that they they don't want to lose, And what

2262
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 1: he was trying to do is to get them to confidence,

2263
01:52:32,680 --> 01:52:36,559
Speaker 1: is to play with abandonment. Yeah, I think you're right

2264
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:38,680
Speaker 1: everyt I think that's part of it. I think that's

2265
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:41,360
Speaker 1: a big part of it. Confidence. Look, and again, this

2266
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,240
Speaker 1: is the week to do it. Look. McDermot would never

2267
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 1: say this publicly to the media or to us, but

2268
01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:50,559
Speaker 1: the Bills are are much more have much more talent

2269
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:52,479
Speaker 1: on the field this Sunday than the Dolphins do. And

2270
01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 1: all they gotta do is go out and play and

2271
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:56,960
Speaker 1: play freely, and play with abandonment as you say, and

2272
01:52:57,080 --> 01:52:59,559
Speaker 1: play fearlessly, and they'll come out on top. I really

2273
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:02,160
Speaker 1: believe that it's not a walkthrough or it's not a

2274
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you don't have to try hard,

2275
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:07,759
Speaker 1: you do, but play without fear of losing. I agree.

2276
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:09,240
Speaker 1: I think you're out of something. You gotta think the

2277
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:12,960
Speaker 1: Bills coaching staff likes their matchups individually and group wise.

2278
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 1: You gotta and I believe they were a little bit

2279
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:17,680
Speaker 1: worried about last week's matchups because I was, yeah, right,

2280
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:19,439
Speaker 1: and so I think it's a different game, and I

2281
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:21,080
Speaker 1: think they are. They do want this team to have

2282
01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:25,920
Speaker 1: a certain mindset in this game, and being fearless probably

2283
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:28,560
Speaker 1: speaks to it. They want to go out there and

2284
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:31,400
Speaker 1: shift gears a little bit on this team and see

2285
01:53:31,400 --> 01:53:35,280
Speaker 1: if they can get into um a talent war with

2286
01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 1: the with the Dolphins and see if they can win it.

2287
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:38,960
Speaker 1: We want to take one more call. Then we'll get

2288
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 1: some tweets on you're good with this where you no,

2289
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:44,679
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna clock. I'm just yeah, okay, go ahead,

2290
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:51,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to a Dave in Chicago. Hello, Dave, welcome, Hello,

2291
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 1: good to Good to talk to you guys, and even

2292
01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:55,960
Speaker 1: better to listen to you. Um, you got some bills

2293
01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:58,719
Speaker 1: fans up here, and that's me and my family. Okay.

2294
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:01,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to thank you for talking. It's down earlier

2295
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:03,479
Speaker 1: in the week, and I think you guys do all

2296
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:05,559
Speaker 1: the time, make some good points to keep us ground.

2297
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:10,680
Speaker 1: It simply fearless means that they shouldn't worry about what

2298
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:15,120
Speaker 1: we're all thinking, and perhaps what even McDermott is saying.

2299
01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:18,559
Speaker 1: We asked the boy to stop throwing interceptions. He stopped

2300
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:21,880
Speaker 1: doing it. Now we're worried about the long ball, but

2301
01:54:22,120 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 1: you look at it. If you know Dawson Knox is

2302
01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:27,160
Speaker 1: a rookie too, They're all going to be making mistakes

2303
01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 1: and we're not patient enough to wait, even though we

2304
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:32,160
Speaker 1: know we see the talent there and we expect it today.

2305
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 1: But you know, just going to the couple drops, you know,

2306
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 1: if he's so stressed out that he can't catch the ball,

2307
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:42,720
Speaker 1: which he obviously can, that's the thing. But around Josh,

2308
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 1: every single person, whether it's Babel or Mackenzie in the

2309
01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:49,360
Speaker 1: end zone going left when the ball was thrown to

2310
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:52,200
Speaker 1: the outside perfect score. I think Josh has made a

2311
01:54:52,240 --> 01:54:54,120
Speaker 1: lot of the things happen that we've asked them to,

2312
01:54:56,440 --> 01:55:00,280
Speaker 1: but he's shouldering all the blame and I think it's everybody. Um,

2313
01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, maybe we can get McDermott to become

2314
01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:06,480
Speaker 1: an offensive minded coaching because if he can do with

2315
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:08,880
Speaker 1: Dave all what he's doing with lastly, then we're all

2316
01:55:08,920 --> 01:55:11,800
Speaker 1: in good shape. But a little patience and thanks for

2317
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:14,560
Speaker 1: keeping us grounded, guys, well, thank you, Dave. I never

2318
01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 1: look at it like that we're keeping people grounded. You,

2319
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I try to think we're speaking perspective perspective maybe,

2320
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:24,520
Speaker 1: And he's right, I mean, on a couple of different notes,

2321
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:29,120
Speaker 1: Dave is Josh Allen has done a lot of what

2322
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:34,360
Speaker 1: he's been asked to do, and it's been fun to see.

2323
01:55:35,160 --> 01:55:37,120
Speaker 1: And we would they try to get him to stop

2324
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:40,400
Speaker 1: turning it over him. He did that. He's starting to

2325
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:43,000
Speaker 1: make some pre snap adjustments, quite a number of them,

2326
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 1: and starting to do some stuff pre see some things

2327
01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:48,440
Speaker 1: pre snap and do some good things with that. And

2328
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 1: they haven't executed all of them exactly right, but he's

2329
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,440
Speaker 1: seeing that. I think there's one more step you want

2330
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:57,720
Speaker 1: him to take, and that is post snap, getting a

2331
01:55:57,800 --> 01:56:00,680
Speaker 1: handle on what's going what the defense is really gonna

2332
01:56:00,720 --> 01:56:05,000
Speaker 1: do in this play, and then knowing exactly where to

2333
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:06,800
Speaker 1: go with the football as a result of that, I

2334
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:08,760
Speaker 1: think he's still taking him a little too long to

2335
01:56:08,880 --> 01:56:11,440
Speaker 1: get to that point. I think it takes him too

2336
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:14,000
Speaker 1: long to figure out what they did after the ball

2337
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 1: was snapped that he thought they were going to do

2338
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 1: before and it's something different, and then clicking over and saying, okay,

2339
01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:21,560
Speaker 1: since they're doing this after the snap, i gotta throw here,

2340
01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 1: not over here. It's taking him too long to get

2341
01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:27,520
Speaker 1: there at the present moment. When that happens, when that

2342
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 1: starts to happen faster, when he starts to have seen

2343
01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot of these defenses before, then you'll start to

2344
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:35,920
Speaker 1: see that click and he'll start to make some strides

2345
01:56:35,960 --> 01:56:37,640
Speaker 1: in that respect. But it's gonna take a while, and

2346
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:40,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna take another lap around the schedule. It's gonna

2347
01:56:40,640 --> 01:56:43,560
Speaker 1: take seeing these defenses again and over and over and

2348
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:47,400
Speaker 1: getting more and more reps before that happens. So we'll see.

2349
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:50,440
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, and I'm not with you. I'm

2350
01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:54,360
Speaker 1: we're talking people down. But we've got perspective. It's a

2351
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:56,160
Speaker 1: week to week league. Any of these teams can win,

2352
01:56:56,240 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 1: any of them can get beat, and you just got

2353
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:03,880
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean your team has because of that loss,

2354
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 1: like particularly this Cleveland loss for the Bills last week,

2355
01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you've done everything wrong or did every thinking yeah,

2356
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 1: or it doesn't mean that every you did everything wrong

2357
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 1: in that game, just means that they made one play

2358
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 1: more than you did. And that's it. So you can't

2359
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 1: start chucking people off the bandwagon just because you know

2360
01:57:24,400 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 1: of a miss player too. That's just not the way

2361
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:29,680
Speaker 1: should work. Bill sever release the injury participation report for

2362
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:33,800
Speaker 1: today's practice. Two players not participating today, including rookie tight

2363
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 1: end Dawson Knox with a little soreness in his knee,

2364
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:40,680
Speaker 1: as Chris Brown reported to us, shouldn't be as serious

2365
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:43,120
Speaker 1: and he is expected to play. Frank Gore got his

2366
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:46,880
Speaker 1: Thursday rest day off. Jerry Hughes was limited with a

2367
01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 1: growing issue today limited in practice today. And the guys

2368
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:54,120
Speaker 1: who did not practice yesterday the veteran rest days for Lorenzo,

2369
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:56,840
Speaker 1: Alexander and Tie and Sky both of them were able

2370
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:58,880
Speaker 1: to practice today. All right, and we come back more

2371
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 1: talk about this what do you think it means when

2372
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:03,680
Speaker 1: coach McDermott tells his players to be fearless? Plus coffee

2373
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 1: with the bills when we return, Come on back. It's

2374
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 1: one Bills Live, presented by Kalaida Health Line from the

2375
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:23,040
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes close. One

2376
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 1: goes live. John Purphy and Steve Tasker another entertaining commercial

2377
01:58:27,040 --> 01:58:29,280
Speaker 1: break for us. You wish you could, wish you could

2378
01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:32,760
Speaker 1: be here. Hey, we got to mention this Steve before

2379
01:58:32,800 --> 01:58:35,560
Speaker 1: we get to coffee. Of the bills coming up. It's

2380
01:58:35,560 --> 01:58:38,640
Speaker 1: out there now and it's coming. It appears first. Good news.

2381
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 1: Washington Post says the NFL and the Players Association and

2382
01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:45,879
Speaker 1: made serious progress in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.

2383
01:58:46,160 --> 01:58:48,480
Speaker 1: There's a possibility a new deal could be in placed

2384
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:50,560
Speaker 1: by the time they played the Super Bowl February second.

2385
01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:54,400
Speaker 1: That'd be great. It is increasingly likely the new CBA

2386
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:57,640
Speaker 1: will expand the regular season to seventeen games and cut

2387
01:58:57,680 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 1: down the total number of preseason games. It would also

2388
01:59:00,760 --> 01:59:04,040
Speaker 1: expand the playoffs from twelve to fourteen teams. Now the

2389
01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:06,480
Speaker 1: CBA runs to the twenty twenty seasons, so nothing would

2390
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:09,880
Speaker 1: kick into twenty twenty one, a seventeen game regular season

2391
01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 1: likely increasingly likely. Nothing is settled yet, I'm all right

2392
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:16,520
Speaker 1: with that. And to cut down preseason games, I'd definitely

2393
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:18,960
Speaker 1: be all right with that too. I think they should

2394
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:21,720
Speaker 1: go eighteen games. Cut it this preseason and half. Well,

2395
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 1: they talk about that, and the PA, the Player Association,

2396
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:27,080
Speaker 1: pushed back and said, no, it started the season two

2397
01:59:27,120 --> 01:59:31,040
Speaker 1: weeks before. That's not happening before Labor Day. And then

2398
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:34,120
Speaker 1: when you get two games under your belt, everybody, the

2399
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:37,360
Speaker 1: whole league takes Labor Day weekend off and then they

2400
01:59:37,440 --> 01:59:40,640
Speaker 1: jump back into it. The league dropped it as a proposal.

2401
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,080
Speaker 1: My idea is better. I know your idea. What about

2402
01:59:43,080 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 1: the tasker plan there? Well, the tasker plan, if you

2403
01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:48,080
Speaker 1: could get the league to say, yeah, we'll take guys

2404
01:59:48,120 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 1: off the field fort and only let him play sixteen

2405
01:59:50,600 --> 01:59:52,600
Speaker 1: that play, that plan would be in place right now.

2406
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:55,240
Speaker 1: But you know that's a big sticking point, Well because

2407
01:59:55,240 --> 01:59:58,280
Speaker 1: it's a stupid plan. Well, it would, but it would

2408
01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:00,680
Speaker 1: have been adopted. I don't it would have been. I

2409
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:03,839
Speaker 1: think there was a lot of pushback. My point owner pushbacks.

2410
02:00:03,960 --> 02:00:06,080
Speaker 1: That's what I'm seven. To take stars off the field

2411
02:00:06,120 --> 02:00:07,880
Speaker 1: for two games. What I'm saying, That's what I'm saying.

2412
02:00:08,320 --> 02:00:09,640
Speaker 1: If the owners would have wanted to do it, the

2413
02:00:09,720 --> 02:00:11,840
Speaker 1: players union would not have fought it. That's my point.

2414
02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:13,640
Speaker 1: But they got a seventeen game schedule, which I think

2415
02:00:13,720 --> 02:00:18,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be still seventeen games includes it appears international game. Well, yeah,

2416
02:00:18,800 --> 02:00:21,640
Speaker 1: a neutral site game anyway, Yeah, international they're playing. There's

2417
02:00:21,640 --> 02:00:23,280
Speaker 1: a game in Mexico City this week. By the way,

2418
02:00:24,200 --> 02:00:28,800
Speaker 1: can I just I don't care? Okay, we're not playing it,

2419
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:30,920
Speaker 1: doesn't care. I don't care. They aren't playing on the

2420
02:00:31,280 --> 02:00:33,080
Speaker 1: on the did they get the goat ranch planted with

2421
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:35,800
Speaker 1: grass so they can play it down that stadium down there?

2422
02:00:36,760 --> 02:00:39,480
Speaker 1: That's an atrocity. And time now for Coffee with the

Speaker 1: these guys are going to be playing a game that

2432
02:01:06,400 --> 02:01:08,840
Speaker 1: we like to call kicking or sticking. It's kind of

2433
02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 1: a two person family feud type of events. So we've

2434
02:01:11,720 --> 02:01:15,680
Speaker 1: pulled Bills fans on social media on Twitter, guys asked

2435
02:01:15,720 --> 02:01:18,160
Speaker 1: them a series of questions. They provided answers. You need

2436
02:01:18,200 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 1: to guess how they answered these questions. If you guess

2437
02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:23,520
Speaker 1: the top answer on the board from the fans, you

2438
02:01:23,600 --> 02:01:26,200
Speaker 1: get four points. Any other answer on the list that

2439
02:01:26,280 --> 02:01:28,520
Speaker 1: you get it's worth a point. First guy to twelve

2440
02:01:28,600 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 1: points win. So let's begin question one. We'll let Tommy

2441
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:33,880
Speaker 1: answer this one. First, Bills fans were asked if they

2442
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:37,160
Speaker 1: could buy a Bills jersey of a current player who

2443
02:01:37,360 --> 02:01:41,080
Speaker 1: is not named Josh Allen. Which player would it be?

2444
02:01:41,960 --> 02:01:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what you think they What the top answer

2445
02:01:44,160 --> 02:01:48,240
Speaker 1: might have been in your estimation? Jerry Hughes. Jerry Hughes

2446
02:01:48,360 --> 02:01:54,640
Speaker 1: is his answer? What is your answer? Teren Frank Gore. Okay, guys,

2447
02:01:54,760 --> 02:01:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shock you here. Neither of those names were

2448
02:01:57,920 --> 02:02:00,840
Speaker 1: on the list, so zero points for both. You actually

2449
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:04,360
Speaker 1: the number one answer was Trdavious White, and that was

2450
02:02:04,440 --> 02:02:07,680
Speaker 1: followed by Devin Singletary, Tremaine Edmonds, and Jordan Phillips getting

2451
02:02:07,720 --> 02:02:09,760
Speaker 1: some love too. So how about that big d Lineman

2452
02:02:09,800 --> 02:02:12,240
Speaker 1: getting some love? All right? Question two, Terry, you'll be

2453
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:14,520
Speaker 1: answering this one. First, Bills fans were asked if you

2454
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:17,960
Speaker 1: needed to pick a current Bills offensive player for a

2455
02:02:18,240 --> 02:02:21,400
Speaker 1: must catch situation at the end of the game, who

2456
02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:23,960
Speaker 1: would you pick? Who did the Bills fans say, Terryn

2457
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,960
Speaker 1: John John Brown? Tom Brown is your answer? What's your answer?

2458
02:02:27,760 --> 02:02:30,800
Speaker 1: You're going Cole Beasley? Okay? That as John Brown was

2459
02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the number one answer on the board, So four point

2460
02:02:32,960 --> 02:02:34,720
Speaker 1: for Terren. Cole Beasley was on the list to a

2461
02:02:34,800 --> 02:02:38,440
Speaker 1: point for Tommy. Okay. Moving on to question three, Tommy,

2462
02:02:38,440 --> 02:02:41,040
Speaker 1: you'll answer this one. First, Bills fans were asked if

2463
02:02:41,120 --> 02:02:45,120
Speaker 1: you needed a current defensive player to deliver a game

2464
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:47,480
Speaker 1: ceiling play at the end of the game, who would

2465
02:02:47,480 --> 02:02:49,400
Speaker 1: you pick. What did the Bills fans say, Tommy, you

2466
02:02:49,480 --> 02:02:52,320
Speaker 1: think Tray White? Trey White is your pick? Who do

2467
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 1: you have, ter Jordan? Jordan Poyer was the number one answer.

2468
02:02:57,880 --> 02:03:02,040
Speaker 1: Tredavious White was on the list. Tommy okay, So two

2469
02:03:02,200 --> 02:03:05,000
Speaker 1: number one answers here for Taren, he's got eight points. Tommy,

2470
02:03:05,040 --> 02:03:09,040
Speaker 1: you've got two. Your trailing here, But now the comes

2471
02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:12,839
Speaker 1: deciding part of the program here, guys, so you currently

2472
02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:15,720
Speaker 1: lead obviously on points. So Tarn, this is the final

2473
02:03:15,880 --> 02:03:17,920
Speaker 1: question of the game. Since you're in the lead, you

2474
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 1: have the choice. You can either kick or stick? Do

2475
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:23,480
Speaker 1: you want to punk? This question to Tommy to answer,

2476
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:26,320
Speaker 1: which if he answers correctly, he will win the game.

2477
02:03:26,480 --> 02:03:30,040
Speaker 1: If he misses, you win. So do you want to

2478
02:03:30,200 --> 02:03:32,680
Speaker 1: kick or do you want to stick? Stick? Is one

2479
02:03:32,720 --> 02:03:36,120
Speaker 1: I chose? Yousef No, He's gonna stick with this one. Okay.

2480
02:03:36,200 --> 02:03:39,960
Speaker 1: So question four. If Bill's fans were asked if you

2481
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:43,600
Speaker 1: could pick a former Bill's player to add to the

2482
02:03:43,760 --> 02:03:47,480
Speaker 1: current roster, who would it be? Who do you think

2483
02:03:47,520 --> 02:03:50,760
Speaker 1: it picks? Jim Kelly? You're going with Jim Kelly. I'm

2484
02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna give Tommy a chance to answer in case that

2485
02:03:53,640 --> 02:03:55,760
Speaker 1: answer is not on the list. Who would you pick?

2486
02:03:57,160 --> 02:04:02,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Kyle Williams. Okay, it was not the number one answer,

2487
02:04:02,120 --> 02:04:05,040
Speaker 1: but Jim Kelly is on the list, and I'm sorry, Tommy,

2488
02:04:05,560 --> 02:04:08,000
Speaker 1: guy Williams was not in the top fourend The number

2489
02:04:08,040 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 1: one answer was Bruce Smith. He actually beat Jim Kelly

2490
02:04:11,800 --> 02:04:15,440
Speaker 1: out by one vote. Andre Reid, Eric Molds also on

2491
02:04:15,520 --> 02:04:17,360
Speaker 1: the list. Though tarant you are the winner of this

2492
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:20,160
Speaker 1: edition of Kicking or Chicken. I thank you guys both

2493
02:04:20,280 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 1: for playing again. You're gonna hand shaking a smile. That's

2494
02:04:22,760 --> 02:04:24,840
Speaker 1: your reward for doing that. Thank you very much. That

2495
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:28,080
Speaker 1: will conclude this edition of Coffee with the Bills. Will

2496
02:04:28,120 --> 02:04:31,000
Speaker 1: see an nex time. I got the one I got

2497
02:04:31,080 --> 02:04:33,720
Speaker 1: it right. I got Bruce with Bruce. That's the one

2498
02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:36,280
Speaker 1: thing I got. Coffee untouched. I'll make that point. That

2499
02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:39,400
Speaker 1: should be coffee cups with the cup. Coffee cups with

2500
02:04:39,440 --> 02:04:41,720
Speaker 1: the bills. There was three guys and two cups. It

2501
02:04:41,800 --> 02:04:45,160
Speaker 1: doesn't seem that the rules are a little complicated for

2502
02:04:45,440 --> 02:04:49,080
Speaker 1: kicking or sticking. Chris spent the whole time explaining how

2503
02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:52,240
Speaker 1: they were scoring plays. Yeah, I quit listening about halfway

2504
02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:54,520
Speaker 1: through his explanation. Just got the way he stasted question.

2505
02:04:54,560 --> 02:04:58,320
Speaker 1: I just started answering. I'm kind of with you. Twitter

2506
02:04:58,480 --> 02:05:00,680
Speaker 1: question today. What do you think m her means when

2507
02:05:00,720 --> 02:05:03,640
Speaker 1: he says he tells his team to play fearless this Sunday?

2508
02:05:03,760 --> 02:05:05,600
Speaker 1: What do you think a quick call here from David

2509
02:05:05,640 --> 02:05:10,680
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Hello, David, go ahead, that's not let's go

2510
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:15,080
Speaker 1: to Alan Niagara Falls Al. Are you there, Yes, I'm here.

2511
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:19,320
Speaker 1: This is about Josh. Josh Duglin trust his receivers, and

2512
02:05:19,400 --> 02:05:22,720
Speaker 1: I think that's creating a problem for the offense. He

2513
02:05:23,080 --> 02:05:25,800
Speaker 1: how did you say? He holds the ball waiting on

2514
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:29,520
Speaker 1: his guy, his first guy to get open and completely open,

2515
02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:32,240
Speaker 1: and when he's not open and makes him late for

2516
02:05:32,360 --> 02:05:37,680
Speaker 1: his second and third reads, he's wasting a good receiver

2517
02:05:37,880 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 1: like Beasley calls. Beasley is a timing guy. You gotta

2518
02:05:42,160 --> 02:05:44,400
Speaker 1: give Beasley the ball whether you think he's open or not.

2519
02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:46,560
Speaker 1: You're just giving the ball where you think he's gonna be.

2520
02:05:47,160 --> 02:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I think to speak to this when he was there

2521
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:54,000
Speaker 1: with Jim Kelly. He wasn't the biggest and fastest guy

2522
02:05:54,120 --> 02:05:56,720
Speaker 1: on the field, but when he was out there, Jim

2523
02:05:56,880 --> 02:05:58,720
Speaker 1: was gonna get him. The ball falls, you know he's

2524
02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna dig up. Do you see the turf to catch

2525
02:06:01,400 --> 02:06:06,280
Speaker 1: the balls? Tashum, there's a little bit of something in there.

2526
02:06:06,560 --> 02:06:10,920
Speaker 1: I guess out. Yeah, certainly Jim anticipated the receivers a

2527
02:06:10,920 --> 02:06:15,280
Speaker 1: little better than Josh is right now, Josh's got guys

2528
02:06:15,360 --> 02:06:17,800
Speaker 1: with strong arms tend to do that because they can

2529
02:06:17,880 --> 02:06:19,920
Speaker 1: gun the ball in if they wait a little extra time,

2530
02:06:20,240 --> 02:06:22,720
Speaker 1: the defense still can't get there in time to defend

2531
02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:25,800
Speaker 1: the past because it's got such velocity. I get it,

2532
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:28,360
Speaker 1: and you're right, it would be better. It will be

2533
02:06:28,520 --> 02:06:31,360
Speaker 1: better the more reps these guys get. And Josh has

2534
02:06:31,360 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 1: got to learn to anticipate guys coming out of the

2535
02:06:33,560 --> 02:06:36,120
Speaker 1: breaks and throw it where he knows they're gonna be

2536
02:06:37,400 --> 02:06:40,840
Speaker 1: before they're there. That was one of the big criticisms

2537
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:43,160
Speaker 1: we had with other U with Tyrod when he was here.

2538
02:06:43,360 --> 02:06:44,560
Speaker 1: You know, you had to see it had to be

2539
02:06:44,640 --> 02:06:46,080
Speaker 1: wide open, then you had to get it in there.

2540
02:06:46,320 --> 02:06:49,280
Speaker 1: And it's hard for offensive coordinators to scheme guys that

2541
02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:52,560
Speaker 1: wide open. In this level. You just can't do it. So, yeah,

2542
02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:54,400
Speaker 1: that's one of the things Josh can work on, his

2543
02:06:54,440 --> 02:06:58,600
Speaker 1: anticipatory throwing, throwing the guy open, those kind of tosses

2544
02:06:58,680 --> 02:07:01,000
Speaker 1: that we haven't seen too much from him. He needs

2545
02:07:01,040 --> 02:07:03,160
Speaker 1: to do better, there's no question about it. But that's

2546
02:07:03,200 --> 02:07:07,480
Speaker 1: only one of you know, that is one of a

2547
02:07:07,640 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 1: hundred things that is asked of a starting quarterback in

2548
02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:13,000
Speaker 1: the NFL, and Josh is working on that one, just

2549
02:07:13,080 --> 02:07:15,240
Speaker 1: like he's working on the other ninety nine A break. Here,

2550
02:07:15,280 --> 02:07:18,600
Speaker 1: We're back with more. One Bill Slide presented by Seneca

2551
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:23,160
Speaker 1: are presented by Kalida Health from the Seneca Seneca Studio

2552
02:07:23,200 --> 02:07:24,960
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. Why am I spitting up on the

2553
02:07:25,040 --> 02:07:27,320
Speaker 1: last bread? Sorry? Man? You're doing good? You're doing good.

2554
02:07:27,440 --> 02:07:29,760
Speaker 1: We're coming here from One Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo

2555
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. So what do we learn from today's show?

2556
02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:51,840
Speaker 1: It is brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction

2557
02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:54,840
Speaker 1: rental equipment company of the Buffalo Bills. What did we

2558
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:58,480
Speaker 1: learn from today's show? Armando Solgero, the Miami Harold joined

2559
02:07:58,560 --> 02:08:00,600
Speaker 1: us on the show. We asked, so, how much of

2560
02:08:00,760 --> 02:08:04,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick's play contributes to the dolphins two straight wins.

2561
02:08:04,560 --> 02:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. He has said it himself. He's

2562
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:11,240
Speaker 1: perfect for this kind of team. This is a very

2563
02:08:11,360 --> 02:08:15,080
Speaker 1: young team, a team that needs directions, but also a

2564
02:08:15,200 --> 02:08:19,640
Speaker 1: team that needs confidence. And Ryan Fitzpatrick is full of

2565
02:08:19,760 --> 02:08:23,600
Speaker 1: directions and full of confidence. He's been there and done

2566
02:08:23,640 --> 02:08:27,360
Speaker 1: that over his career, and you know, there's not a

2567
02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:31,800
Speaker 1: lot of new things that are going to upset him,

2568
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:35,920
Speaker 1: that are going to rattle him, including a losing streak,

2569
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:40,560
Speaker 1: which he has been a part of previously on multiple

2570
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:44,440
Speaker 1: stops in the NFL. So that and the fact that

2571
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:47,440
Speaker 1: the guy is just he just gets it. Players want

2572
02:08:47,480 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 1: to play for him. Armando Sargero the Miami Herald also

2573
02:08:52,840 --> 02:08:56,120
Speaker 1: on the show today. Matt Mmono Buffalo linebackers. So yesterday

2574
02:08:56,120 --> 02:08:58,600
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott put the team in the meeting room and said, hey,

2575
02:08:58,960 --> 02:09:02,160
Speaker 1: let'splay fearlessly this week. Let's be fearless. We asked Matt

2576
02:09:02,200 --> 02:09:06,600
Speaker 1: Alana what McDermott met. Here's his response. It just means

2577
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:08,920
Speaker 1: to stop thinking about little little thing and just go

2578
02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:12,280
Speaker 1: out there in attack moting, swarm to the ball, and

2579
02:09:12,440 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 1: be aggressive. And they plays basically what he was saying. Now,

2580
02:09:15,840 --> 02:09:18,040
Speaker 1: they got us playing free and playing class, so it

2581
02:09:18,080 --> 02:09:21,800
Speaker 1: should be interesting to watch us on Sunday playing free

2582
02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:26,280
Speaker 1: and playing fast. Very nice. Yeah, here's the thing, And

2583
02:09:26,280 --> 02:09:29,160
Speaker 1: I asked Matt this, and so do we assume from

2584
02:09:29,200 --> 02:09:31,320
Speaker 1: that that they were not free and fast? And in

2585
02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 1: the previous part of this he said, there's a little

2586
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:35,600
Speaker 1: hesitancy trying not to make a mistake, particularly when they

2587
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:37,440
Speaker 1: were started giving up a long run here and there

2588
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:39,600
Speaker 1: in their run defense. He started, guys started to tighten

2589
02:09:39,720 --> 02:09:40,800
Speaker 1: up a little bit and say, oh, I got to

2590
02:09:40,840 --> 02:09:42,440
Speaker 1: make sure I do this, and don't do you know,

2591
02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:44,920
Speaker 1: don't don't go outside the lines. They started to pull

2592
02:09:45,000 --> 02:09:47,520
Speaker 1: back a little bit and they started to play a

2593
02:09:47,560 --> 02:09:50,400
Speaker 1: little tentative. I think after there, he's at least defensively,

2594
02:09:50,600 --> 02:09:52,200
Speaker 1: we got that. I got that idea. That's what he

2595
02:09:52,280 --> 02:09:54,040
Speaker 1: was talking. Well, and here's the other part. All right,

2596
02:09:54,040 --> 02:09:56,600
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I don't disagree. Do you

2597
02:09:56,640 --> 02:09:59,600
Speaker 1: think the offense interprets mcdermot's message one way? In the

2598
02:09:59,640 --> 02:10:02,120
Speaker 1: defense it's another way, the kid, Yeah, it could be,

2599
02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:06,160
Speaker 1: and you apply it certainly differently, because offensively, you've got

2600
02:10:06,240 --> 02:10:09,960
Speaker 1: to be so well choreographed. You know, everybody's got to

2601
02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:11,840
Speaker 1: be doing the right thing all the time offensively, and

2602
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:13,720
Speaker 1: on defense you need one guy to react right and

2603
02:10:13,840 --> 02:10:18,600
Speaker 1: make the play whether everybody else falls down or not. So, yeah,

2604
02:10:18,760 --> 02:10:21,000
Speaker 1: you have to interpret it a little bit individually and

2605
02:10:21,160 --> 02:10:25,440
Speaker 1: collectively and corporately collectively on both sides of the ball, offense,

2606
02:10:25,520 --> 02:10:28,960
Speaker 1: defense and special teams, and then you know, corporately as

2607
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:31,640
Speaker 1: a big group as your preparation, your team. You're in

2608
02:10:31,720 --> 02:10:33,360
Speaker 1: the locker room with both sides of the ball, all

2609
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:35,840
Speaker 1: three sides of the ball, you know, and so there's

2610
02:10:35,880 --> 02:10:38,400
Speaker 1: all different ways of interpreting it, and each guy, you know,

2611
02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:41,920
Speaker 1: we'll digest it and turn it into his own individual performance.

2612
02:10:41,920 --> 02:10:43,760
Speaker 1: We'll see how it turns out. It's gonna be interesting, though.

2613
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:46,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a great message, particularly at this point

2614
02:10:46,200 --> 02:10:50,560
Speaker 1: of the season. Steve Tonight's game I find interesting. And

2615
02:10:50,600 --> 02:10:53,040
Speaker 1: I can't say that about every Thursteen and eight Cleveland Pittsburgh,

2616
02:10:53,040 --> 02:10:56,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at Cleveland, Cleveland, because we just saw them. I

2617
02:10:56,120 --> 02:10:58,520
Speaker 1: don't think. Look, I don't think they're gonna win this game.

2618
02:10:58,840 --> 02:11:01,400
Speaker 1: But here's Pittsburgh now five and four, a game behind

2619
02:11:01,440 --> 02:11:03,640
Speaker 1: the Bills and the wild card race. Pittsburgh will be

2620
02:11:03,720 --> 02:11:05,840
Speaker 1: here in a month. It's they're a team to watch,

2621
02:11:05,960 --> 02:11:08,160
Speaker 1: right if you're thinking about the Bills in their playoff chances.

2622
02:11:08,400 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, who've won seven of the last eight games

2623
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:12,920
Speaker 1: against Cleveland, the air team to watch. You get a

2624
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:14,760
Speaker 1: chance to watch them on a national stage, and it's

2625
02:11:14,760 --> 02:11:16,160
Speaker 1: a big game for me. It is it is, and

2626
02:11:16,240 --> 02:11:19,120
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna watch and Pittsburgh's playing well. Pitt Cleveland,

2627
02:11:19,160 --> 02:11:21,280
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what they do against Pittsburgh

2628
02:11:21,320 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 1: and of course we're all gonna have the cross references.

2629
02:11:24,480 --> 02:11:26,560
Speaker 1: It's not gonna mean anything, but we're all still gonna

2630
02:11:26,560 --> 02:11:28,160
Speaker 1: do it. You and I'll probably talk about it tomorrow

2631
02:11:28,240 --> 02:11:30,960
Speaker 1: what Buffalo looked like against Cleveland and what Cleveland looked

2632
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:33,360
Speaker 1: like against Pittsburgh, and then decide what Buffalo is gonna

2633
02:11:33,400 --> 02:11:36,360
Speaker 1: look like against Pittsburgh. Right, yeah, right, you do that.

2634
02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:40,880
Speaker 1: And it's two weeks away from before this gets So

2635
02:11:40,960 --> 02:11:42,880
Speaker 1: it's two full games away and it's a week to

2636
02:11:42,960 --> 02:11:45,040
Speaker 1: week league, but we're still going to make those generalizations

2637
02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:48,240
Speaker 1: and be happy to do Pittsburgh's coming up. Isn't it

2638
02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:51,800
Speaker 1: four weeks away after Baltimore? Yes, okay, so it's like

2639
02:11:51,840 --> 02:11:54,640
Speaker 1: a month away. Okay, so let's just pump the brakes

2640
02:11:54,640 --> 02:11:56,800
Speaker 1: on thinking this game's gonna affect that one. Things we'll

2641
02:11:56,880 --> 02:11:58,680
Speaker 1: change we do now, and then what will not change

2642
02:11:58,760 --> 02:12:02,440
Speaker 1: you wouldn't think is Pittsburgh quarterback situation, which look, Roethlisberger

2643
02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:04,200
Speaker 1: is no longer there. They found a way to get

2644
02:12:04,280 --> 02:12:06,840
Speaker 1: competitive now five and four. But they're a different team now,

2645
02:12:06,960 --> 02:12:10,360
Speaker 1: right They're yeah, they and their defense has rebounded. They're

2646
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:13,880
Speaker 1: playing much more solid defense. Minca Fitzpatrick has made a

2647
02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:18,120
Speaker 1: big difference in their secondary Thank you yea Miami, And

2648
02:12:18,920 --> 02:12:22,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, and Mike Tomlin is getting kudos for the

2649
02:12:22,440 --> 02:12:25,680
Speaker 1: way he's handled it. You lose a franchise, elite quarterback

2650
02:12:25,760 --> 02:12:29,200
Speaker 1: like Ben Roethlisberger, a two time Super Bowl winner who's

2651
02:12:29,240 --> 02:12:32,400
Speaker 1: still throwing, who led the league last year and throwing

2652
02:12:32,480 --> 02:12:36,040
Speaker 1: yardage that's hard to cover up for. And it took

2653
02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:37,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers a minute to do it. But it looks

2654
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:40,080
Speaker 1: like they've got it done and there without Bell and

2655
02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:43,280
Speaker 1: without the running back or the wide receiver. Tip your

2656
02:12:43,280 --> 02:12:45,560
Speaker 1: hat to Mike Tomlin. I do. And to be honest

2657
02:12:45,600 --> 02:12:47,600
Speaker 1: with you, I never had I never put him in

2658
02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 1: in the first tier of NFL coaches. This year might

2659
02:12:50,520 --> 02:12:53,280
Speaker 1: change that I have always had. I don't want to

2660
02:12:53,280 --> 02:12:54,840
Speaker 1: say it just because of this, but I've always had

2661
02:12:54,880 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 1: a higher A notice that my opinion of Mike Tomlin

2662
02:12:58,680 --> 02:13:01,320
Speaker 1: was a little higher than most people around me. I've

2663
02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:04,080
Speaker 1: always felt he was a really good head coach and

2664
02:13:04,160 --> 02:13:06,920
Speaker 1: got the most out of that team and navigated some

2665
02:13:07,080 --> 02:13:10,800
Speaker 1: pretty tough waters. But I do say this, maybe the

2666
02:13:11,320 --> 02:13:14,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown problems and the Levion Bell problems, although not

2667
02:13:14,760 --> 02:13:17,720
Speaker 1: as much the Ben Roethlisberger problems. If you want to,

2668
02:13:17,920 --> 02:13:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, the personality conference. We're a little bit of

2669
02:13:20,440 --> 02:13:23,840
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's doing, but I don't know how much better

2670
02:13:23,920 --> 02:13:26,320
Speaker 1: anybody else would have done with all of those personalities

2671
02:13:26,320 --> 02:13:28,120
Speaker 1: in that locker room. A good show today. We thank
