1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Oh, good time, Steve clasp to the endown Backstown, backs down,

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Bisdown's not at all time. Welcome to the show. Welcome

3
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, Welcome to our One Bill's live show for

4
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: this Wednesday, October thirtieth. What a gloomy, cloudy, misty day

5
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: it is in Orchard Park, New York. But we soldier on,

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: We fight through it, ready to do our show for

7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: the next three hours. We got a lot. We got

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: to spend most of the day recapping all of the

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: trades in the NFL yesterday, all of the moves made

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: by the Bills, and yeah, it's nothing happened. Fifteen seconds,

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: nothing happened. What a letdown it was, Steve right, I

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: guess we get caught up into two. There was a

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: point yesterday when I thought maybe nothing will happen and

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: that'll be fine. And then when nothing happened, I was like, oh, now,

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Bill screwed up. I'm just saying

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: it's it's a letdown. Not just Buffalo. Nowhere around the

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: league were there deals. There were deals made before the deadline,

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: but four o'clock came and went with what the one

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: deal yesterday? I keep to lead it was kind of

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: a letdown. I gotta say, no thought, yeah, it's You're true,

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: it's right. Yeah, I mean you're a little bit let down,

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: you and I are, because it gives us something to

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: talk about for three hours. But I think it's more

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: telling that it wasn't just the Bills who didn't take

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: part in this flurry. There was no flurry. Nobody else did.

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: There was a handful of deals made in the days

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: leading up to in the last week or two, and

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: nothing else happened. I think. And I was, you know,

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: pontificating in the office before we came in here to

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: do the show, and I said, you know, it might be,

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any any real reason for it.

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: Every year is different. It might be that these teams

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: you get some of these teams that are hoarding draft picks.

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: You know Cleveland did a few years ago, Miami's doing

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: it now. You got teams because they're so valuable. And

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: I think some things and you see teams hit on

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: fifth rounders, sixth round er, seventh rounders, and of course first, second, third,

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: and fourth rounders as well. You see teams hit on

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: some of these players that are really getting contributions from him,

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: and every team kind of projects that success onto one

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: or two or whatever. If you hit on forty percent

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: of your draft picks, you're hitting it pretty good. So

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: if you get enough of them, you think, wow, that's

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. And not only that, it is cheap labor,

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: So the economics of it makes sense that they listen,

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: those draft picks are way better than some guy who,

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: even if he's a good player for them, we're giving

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: him a shot, two shot, like a fifth and a sixth.

49
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: They're a three or to the five or a one

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: and a two for whatever, for getting some really good

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: players that can I just I know you got more

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: to say. That's the point that gets me the money.

53
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: It's like, it's the money. Do we really want to go?

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: We can get this, We'll hit on forty percent of

55
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: our draft picks or whatever, and they'll all be affordable

56
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: and we can build around them. Or we can take

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: a chance. We can go out and get Levion Bell.

58
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: We can go out again. Antonio Brown and those two

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: I think prime examples maybe led some teams to think,

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: let's just chill. You know, maybe the great gold plated

61
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: talent that somebody else has is not what it appears

62
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: to be. Let's just wait. I think that when was

63
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: part of the reason why there were no deals made. Yes,

64
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: and even if it is if if this guy, if

65
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: you go out and get a Levon Beald, he turns

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: out great, or one of these other players that turn

67
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: out great and don't change because now they're in your

68
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: culture and they don't play as well, or you don't

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: have the the same results that they had, you know,

70
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: as their past career. But even if they come in

71
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: and they're pretty good, you're giving up two chances, or

72
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: if you give up a one or two, or you're

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: gonna have two chances to get got two guys that

74
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: are even better. You know, that's the kind of the

75
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: the the rainbow and the thing. That's where the kind

76
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: of the Pollyanna way to look at it, like, yeah,

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna get pick two guys and they both might

78
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: be better than this guy. Uh, it's probably not gonna

79
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: happen that way. You're probably gonna get a couple of

80
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: guys that give you some contribution in some way, shape

81
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: or form, and probably one of them will be pretty good.

82
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: But you know, you get the guy right now in

83
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: a season where you still got some hope, and you

84
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: still got some some uh, you know, some reason to

85
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: think that you're going to be successful for everything this year.

86
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: So there's that too. That's the immediacy and the immediate

87
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: gratification you can get by getting a guy who may

88
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: help you write this second rather than after next year's

89
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: draft or two years after next year's draft. So I

90
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: see that. But the fact that nobody was making trades,

91
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, he always looked for the common denominator, and

92
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: I think the economics of it may be the answer. Yeah,

93
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: maybe it was kind of a letdown. And especially and

94
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: here's the other part that made it, I think even

95
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: more of a letdown. There were rumors, there were reports,

96
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: there was a stuff out there. The Jets are dealing

97
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: living on Bell, The Jets are ready to deal Jamal Adams.

98
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: He's going to go to Dallas. The Washington is ready

99
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: to get rid of their offensive linemen. You know, there

100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: were so many reports. I'm not saying they were false,

101
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: because teams clearly leaked those news items so that they

102
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: gauge interest and see what people are going to say.

103
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: But there were so many pre deadline reports about potential

104
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: trades that we kind of get ahead of ourselves, and

105
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: maybe there's a lesson for all of us, those who

106
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: follow the league, those who report on the league, like,

107
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: it's not a deal until it's a deal, right, you

108
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: can talk about it, and maybe teams are talking. Look,

109
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I would love to know, and I've said this before

110
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: from Brandon, mean he'll never tell you. I'd love to

111
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: know who are you talking to? How many teams did

112
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: you have on the line. Obviously who are you interested

113
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: in would be an issue, but you'd like to know

114
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: how much activity there was. Was it as dead beneath

115
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: the surface as it appears to be above the surface.

116
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if if Being or any other NFL

117
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: general manager would tell you it was. They probably won't

118
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: tell you. But I think the fact that we heard

119
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: so many rumors, and I think in this day and age,

120
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: you can't keep any secrets almost right, nobody can keep

121
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: this under the hood. And now with all with Twitter

122
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: and all the stuff that we have going on with

123
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: social media and the media attention that the trade deadline

124
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: is garnered, now, you know, stuff gets out, and anything

125
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: that gets out is always seen as this huge thing,

126
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: even if it was a phone call like what it

127
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: turns out is that the Jets weren't shopping Jamal at

128
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: or they're saying they weren't. They say they weren't shopping

129
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, but they were getting calls about him. Well

130
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: that's different. But if it's true, yeah and no. Yeah,

131
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: of course now in New York, nobody believes it, but

132
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: it may well be true. Might be it appears, you know,

133
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: it is just caused even more dysfunction on the Jets

134
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: roster that has already been troubled this year. Adams Jamal

135
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: Adams saying the general manager went behind my back? Is

136
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: that true or not? I did Brandon Bean go behind

137
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: somebody's back on this Buffalo roster if he mentioned their

138
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: name and trade talks. I don't know if that's going

139
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: behind their back. But look, when the team is as

140
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: um already dysfunctional as the Jets, it doesn't take much

141
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: for that to kind of yeah. Adam Gase refused to

142
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: talk about in any of the what happened yesterday his

143
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: morning news conference. They had this more as a twenty

144
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: seven second news conference. He said, if you have questions

145
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: about our next game Miami, I'll answer him, but I'm

146
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: not talking about anything that happened yesterday. Probably smart, Yeah,

147
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: but he's getting crushed for it. That's just the story

148
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: of the day. And word gets out. If the conversation

149
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: comes up, word gets out, and you got to deal

150
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: with it. And that's part of why this used to be,

151
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, hush hush. You know. Well, there's not a

152
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: whole lot of activity, but the last couple of years

153
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: there was. So we'll see nothing for the Bills. Maybe

154
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: you're disappointed about that, maybe you thought they had a

155
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: move to make. Sean McDermot was asked about it today

156
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: the Bills on their way out to practice right now,

157
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 1: and before that, McDermot with the media for about fifteen

158
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: twenty minutes and he was asked, what does it say

159
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: about your belief in your roster the fact that you

160
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: did not make any deals at the trade deadline. Here's

161
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: how McDermot answered that, I think it says vic that

162
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm confident, that we are confident in the guys that

163
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: we have, and then we expected to play well. And

164
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: then again it also to me just what I shared

165
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: also is if it's if there's not a responsible move

166
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: for us to make, we're not going to make it.

167
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: And that's that's what we're here to do. That's there's

168
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: been way too many years of irresponsible decision making. Let's

169
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: just put it that way. The interesting comments responsible move

170
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: to make. You mentioned that a couple of times, in

171
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: which means that they probably looked at a couple of

172
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: deals and thought that's not really in our best interest.

173
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: That's not responsible. But to end that way and to

174
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: say there's been way too many irresponsible deals made, I

175
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: don't know. As you're referring to the Buffalo bills prior

176
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: to his in being tenure here, you would think, right, well,

177
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: I took them two years to get out of the

178
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: financial jail they were in, having money tied up into

179
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: a into some guys that weren't even quarterbacks. There's that,

180
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: and I get it too. I mean, they have a

181
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,359
Speaker 1: vision of how they think the teams should be structured.

182
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: They want to pay the guys that they think are valuable,

183
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: and some of the things that they value in players

184
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily things that you value on a stat sheet.

185
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: And that's the difference in philosophy from years past to

186
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: this regime. There are a lot of things they value

187
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: that don't necessarily show up to ends on game day.

188
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: And it has to do with professionalism, mentoring, you know, preparation,

189
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: all of that stuff is in that mix. So and

190
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: it's not I'm not saying it's a wholly different way

191
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: of evaluating, not completely unlike it, unsimilar to it, but

192
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: there are some certain things they do and they have

193
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: a different philosophy about salary structures on the roster. They haven't,

194
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: you know, so that it took them a while to

195
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: get to this point. And yesterday and we talked about

196
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: the you know, as a league wide trend, it was

197
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: the economics of it that didn't make sense. And maybe

198
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: that's white teams are not willing to trade draft picks

199
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. But I think for this

200
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: team it's a sense because they did it last year

201
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: when they weren't very good, particularly offensively, they said, you know,

202
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: we gotta get some guys. They made some moves that

203
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and what could be worse? Right, I

204
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: don't think they're in that spot this year. They're in

205
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: a major that they're in a world they're in a

206
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: world of difference situation this season and they a year ago.

207
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: I think they feel better about what they have for sure.

208
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, So what do you think about the

209
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Bill's lack of moves and what does it say about

210
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo roster? That is our Twitter poll today, and

211
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: I think as we approach mid season, it's a good

212
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: question to ask the Bills getting set to play game

213
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: number eight of their season. The NFL trade deadline is

214
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: coming gone, no moves made by the Bills. So on

215
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: Twitter we ask you the question. So, this is the

216
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's roster. How far can they go with this group?

217
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: That has to be part of the evaluation for Brandon

218
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Bean and Sean McDermott. What do we have, Where are

219
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: we going, who's getting better, who's going to be around

220
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: long term, who's going to be around short term? Where's

221
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: this season going to wind up? This season and as

222
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: well as long term, this is the Bill's roster now,

223
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: no more big moves to be made the rest of

224
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. How far can they go with this group?

225
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: What do you think? Let us hear from you. The

226
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: phone lines open eight oh three oh five fifty in

227
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: the Buffalo calling area outside Buffalo toll free call one

228
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Send it

229
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: a tweet, We'll read it on the tweet sheet. Or

230
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: maybe you want to just vote on a Twitter poll.

231
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Three hundred and seventy of you have so far, how

232
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: far can they go with this Buffalo Bills roster on Twitter?

233
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: On the poll, sixty percent of you say they can

234
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Seems reasonable. Yeah, I mean they're they're

235
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: at five and two. They're certainly on pace for that.

236
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: Twenty eight percent of you say they can win playoff

237
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: games with this roster. I get it. Nine percent say

238
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: they're not going to make the playoffs. What are you

239
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: talking about? Two percents think they can win a championship

240
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: with this group. I'm going to win playoff games. I

241
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: think they're good enough to not just make the playoffs,

242
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: but win a game or two in the AFC side

243
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: of the tournament with this group, you know, you don't

244
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: know anything about injuries, they don't know anything about the

245
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: luck that is had remaining out there for the Bills

246
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: nine games left to play. But I think they can

247
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: win playoff games with this group, and I'm sure that's

248
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: a calculation they make. McDermott and being as they approach

249
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: the trade deadline yesterday, where do you sit on this one? Seed?

250
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: I agree, I think I think they can I know

251
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: they've said this, and I'll stick with it. I think

252
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: they have the guys here they can win a championship,

253
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: and once you get into the tournament, all bets are off.

254
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: You put together a stress. I mean, think about it.

255
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: The You've seen it time and time again. It's it's

256
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: not so much the talent on you when you get

257
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, It's not so much the talent on

258
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: your team. It's the way they execute the game plan.

259
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: It's how well they're playing together at the any given moment.

260
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: The New York Giants won two Super Bowls. They beat

261
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots in both games, once when the Patriots were

262
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: undefeated throughout the regular season and playoffs to get there,

263
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: and the Giants came in after finishing what nine and seven?

264
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, you don't think there is a need for

265
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: more talent here in terms of receiving, offensive line, maybe

266
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: interior defensive lines define need like can't live without it. No,

267
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: you can win a championship with it. I think they

268
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: win with what they got. Sure, you want to eliminate

269
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: some of the luck factors that you're kind of relying

270
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: on there, you'd like to, but I don't think there's

271
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they have to get lucky to do that.

272
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying they have to play better with the guys

273
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: they got, and I think those guys haven't in them

274
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: to do that. That's my point. I think they have

275
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: the guys in the room now that can do it,

276
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to play better and execute better

277
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: than they have in the past because I've seen less

278
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: talented teams do it. Quite frankly, I think they need

279
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: to play better if they're going to make the playoffs.

280
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: By the way, they better than they did last Sunday,

281
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: for sure. Oh yeah, we all agree that. Yeah, and

282
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: then it's gonna be ups and downs. But what I'm

283
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: saying is, you've seen teams play worse than the Bills

284
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: did this last weekend and win the Super Bowl during

285
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: the regular season. You've seen teams play worse than the

286
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: Bills did this last weekend during the regular season and

287
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: still go on to win a Super Bowl. What do

288
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: you think? No date deal made by the Bills on

289
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: trade deadline day? How far can they go? A phone

290
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: call here from Anthony and Hamburg, you get a going

291
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: Anthony welcome, You're on the air, Hey, guys, Yeah, I'm

292
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: kind of disappointed. I'm not sure. Obviously we don't know

293
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: what fields were out there and if it would have

294
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: made sense. But you know, I look at the NFL

295
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: is a year to year thing. I understand the process

296
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: and I like what they've done with the process, but

297
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at the schedule we have

298
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: this year, I've already looked at the schedule next year,

299
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: which is really difficult, honestly, what act and you look

300
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: at how week the AFC is this year. I just

301
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: think when you have an opportunity, you take advantage of it.

302
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: And by getting rid of draft picks, I know it's

303
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: it's something people value, but at the same point, you're

304
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: getting something that you know what to have. So I

305
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: think the team needs it needs help on the offense,

306
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: and without it, I don't know how far we can

307
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: go with it. They need to be better offensively, there's

308
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: no question about that. I do think they could have

309
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: used and would have benefited from an infusion of some

310
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: talent on offense. But there are other offensive issues that

311
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: Steve would tell you that can be solved internally. Eliminating penalties.

312
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: Half of their penalties are before the snap. That doesn't

313
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: do you any good. I think they need better quarterback

314
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: play from Josh Allen quite frankly, to get better on offense.

315
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: So you can look at it as a talent issue,

316
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: or maybe, as Steve would tell you, a execution issue

317
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: with the people they have. Huh yeah, I mean that's

318
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: the way I see it. And I get it too

319
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: that it's hard to know the ins and outs and

320
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: the nuances of what these coaches are asking these players

321
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: to do. But I think in my experience, there's no

322
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: doubt that the players know their certain things they can

323
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: do better. And when a guy can't get open on

324
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: a route, he blames himself. He doesn't blame the play call.

325
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: If you got a guy that's running a one on

326
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: one route or even in his zone route, you gotta

327
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: get open. And if if they're covering you, the player

328
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: always blames himself, not the play call. You should be

329
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: able to get open. And so that's kind of where

330
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: I come from, and I, um so, I'm kind of

331
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think it's an execution issue and

332
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: they need to get better. And you're right, Murph, Josh,

333
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: you gotta play better. He's gotta make better throws, he's

334
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna make better decisions. He has done that to a

335
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: large degree than where he was a year ago. But

336
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: we got to to continue to see growth. And McDermott

337
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: said it a couple of times this morning in his

338
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: press conference. A number of times he said we got

339
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: to score more points. He said it in the in

340
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: the context of a number of different answers to questions

341
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: about the offense. He's got to score points at the

342
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: bottom line, and that's where we sit. I don't care

343
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: how Josh plays if the team scoring points, right, Yeah,

344
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: I think I think his play is obviously key to

345
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, I mean, you want to hear it.

346
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: Said it just about forty five minutes ago, the head

347
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: coach of the Bills said, look, they have a lot

348
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: of issues to fix, a lot of places to go,

349
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: but offense is a primary focus of attention. Here's head

350
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: coach on McDermott. We've got to score points. And you

351
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: said it at the beginning of your question. We need

352
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: to score points. And you know it's hard to win

353
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: seven six in this league, right, You guys know that

354
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: you've been around the game like I have. So we

355
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: need to score points, whatever way that that is this

356
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: week or next week. If it's involving other people in

357
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: the plan. We need to do that. So at the

358
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: end of the day, we've got a fine ways to

359
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: generate and sustain clean drives. Also, whether it's a negative play,

360
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: a penalty, a turnover, we've got to get that out

361
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: of our our our drives. You know, Easier said than done,

362
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: because that's what usually causes an offense to stub their toe,

363
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: and that's what defense is trying to do, is they

364
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: try and create negative plays, they try and take the

365
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: ball away, and so we've got to find ways to

366
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: sustain clean drives. Boy, the one phrase that jumps out

367
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: of me, he said, easier said than done. He's right

368
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: because they've known this team. We talked about this, Chris

369
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: Brown and the two of us have talked about it.

370
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: The penalties, the turnovers, they self inflicted wounds, and it's there,

371
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, Sean said Monday, they've had officials in practice,

372
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: at least one referee and practice calum penalties. Don't know

373
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: what the situation will be today. They're trying. They know

374
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: what the issues are, but they haven't been able to

375
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: lick it yet. You know, including penalties, eight more penalties

376
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: last week, that's just about their average. He can't do that,

377
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: and half of them are like we said, half of

378
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: all their penalties are pre snap. I mean, that's a

379
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: total mental mistake that happens consistently against this team so

380
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: or to this team. So that's that's where they sit.

381
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: That's where they sit, and they and they, it's up

382
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: to and that's why I say it's not a talent issue.

383
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: It's an execution issue, and it's a discipline issue. And

384
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: when they fix those things, you're gonna see, you know,

385
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: more consistent, better playing higher scores. I agree with you.

386
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: They need discipline, they need consistency, they need execution. But

387
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about what help. We're talking about mental discipline.

388
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about guys going out and tearing the

389
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: town down. I'm talking about guys just you know, not

390
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: jumping off sides in the red zone. There's a call

391
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: from Larry and Buffalo. Go ahead, Larry, you're on the air.

392
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: How are you going good afternoon, guys. I agree with

393
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: two guys on some issues. When you look at Josh

394
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: Allen as a young quarterback, you don't put him in

395
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: that position to take a third and two and do

396
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: a quarterback run with Why not? Why not. Why not,

397
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: because I believe we had we had gore that can

398
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: get you two yards easily. Josh can get you two

399
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: yards easily too, maybe more. Josh is, you know, maybe

400
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: the most effective runner around the roster, quite frankly, and

401
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: that's not ideal. You don't want him exposed to injury.

402
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: But he's an important part of the run game. And

403
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: here's a play that requires no transfer of the football.

404
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: It has worked before. I don't see why you and others.

405
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: It's not just you, Larry, but people think that was

406
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: a bad play call. I don't think it was at all.

407
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was a conservative play call. Okay, if

408
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't, it wasn't that the ball didn't get nicked

409
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: out by one of their players. It got knicked out

410
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: by one of our players. Now, I don't think so. No,

411
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: it was one of theirs the guy reached back for.

412
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: But yeah it was. It was one of their guys.

413
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: But that's all right, I get it. Anything else, what

414
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: else you got, Larry. But what I'm thinking is that

415
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: we have a good receiver such as Duke Williams that

416
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: just came back off the practice squad, and you don't

417
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: use him when you didn't have him on. You went

418
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: to him when he first came out, and he got

419
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: two touch I mean he got a touchdown and two

420
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: good receptions. He got plenty of snaps the other day.

421
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: Paulie is not play calling us, getting us up and

422
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: down the field constantly. They go up and down the field. Fine,

423
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: they don't get here. Yeah, that's the problem. And Larry,

424
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: here's the thing too. None of the receivers are getting

425
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: very many target I was brought up in the press

426
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: conference this morning as well, the bill's wide receivers and

427
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: percentage of offensive plays or offensive passes get a smaller

428
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: percentage of the targets. Then do a lot of teams.

429
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: And that's you put that listen. That's not play calling,

430
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: that's quarterbacking. And that Duke Williams not getting the ball

431
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: isn't play calling, it's quarterbacking. And you know Josh, Josh's

432
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: got the ball and a quarterback and player. And I

433
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: know this as a receiver. You can say whatever you want.

434
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: I didn't throw the ball to myself, and I can

435
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: try all my best to get open, and I didn't

436
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: get the I didn't get the ball thrown to me

437
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: every time I was open. I didn't get the ball.

438
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: I didn't catch it. Every time I was thrown it,

439
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: it was thrown to me, and I certainly got thrown

440
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: too once in a while when I was covered. So

441
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that the common denominator is the guy

442
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. He makes the decision. So if you

443
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: got if you're if it's a called pass and the

444
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: guy that you want to catch the ball is on

445
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: the field, I don't know what else you're gonna do

446
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: except wait to see where the quarterback throws it. So yeah,

447
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: the play calling, um, it's it's too far out of

448
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: the realm of knowledge for all of us outside the

449
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: quarterback room to even make conjecture about whether it was

450
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: a good play call or a bad play call. The

451
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: only way you know is is when they tell you

452
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: even if it was successful or unsuccessful, because every play never,

453
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: you never have a play call that's gonna be called

454
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: because they want it to be unsuccessful or that they

455
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be unsuccessful and so, and they've got

456
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: a lot of really good, well thought out reasons why

457
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: they call these things. And that that third and two

458
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: that ran that Josh Allen ran the other day, if

459
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't get hit out of his arms. I'm telling

460
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: you he's gonna get it. He's gonna get that two

461
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: yards and there's they stay on the field and continue

462
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: that drive. So I'm um, yeah, if you got It's

463
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: I'm kind of up to my neck in this play

464
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: calling criticism because there's there's just too much you're never

465
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna know about whether it was a good or bad call.

466
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: It's just you're just throwing darts. You're throwing darts at

467
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: a board that's in a different room while you're blindfolded.

468
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you just don't know. Duke Whiams the third

469
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: most snaps for receivers last week, sixty six percent of

470
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: the offensive snaps the Bills at practice as we speak

471
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: right now, they've got guys on the sidelines. Maurice Alexander

472
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: not practicing with his knee, the backup linebacker Kurt Coleman

473
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: limited today with a hamstring, Levi Wallace limited with the shoulder,

474
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: Cody Ford limited with his elbow, rest day, rest day

475
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: for Lorenzo Alexander. We're gonna take outside when we come back.

476
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown is standing by on the sidelines outside on

477
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: the practice field, grass field number one outside the ad

478
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: Pro Sports Training Center and we'll be live with Chris

479
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: when we return. Come on back with us One Bills

480
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: Live presented by Collata Health Live from the Seneca Studio.

481
00:22:49,880 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hi, everybody, Welcome back One

482
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: BILS Live. John Murphy, Steve Tansker Inside, warm and dry

483
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: inside the Seneca Studio in the ad Pro Sports Training Center.

484
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: But right outside, right outside those walls over there is

485
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: Bill's practice just started about fifteen minutes ago, and I

486
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: mean Chris Brown builds inside from Buffalo Bills dot Com

487
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: is out there around the sidelines live to report from practice. Chris,

488
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: kind of a weird day. I'm misty, cloudy. Can you

489
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: even see practice on the far side of the field. Yeah,

490
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: it's cleared up since we first got out here. It's

491
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: not missing anymore. So there's no pre sip, so it's

492
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: dry now. Field's a little slick, but no rain in

493
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: the in the airs, you know, floating around and whatnot.

494
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: And the fog has lifted here. But when we first

495
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: got out here about twenty minutes ago, it was it

496
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: was pretty foggy, hard to see the far field, but

497
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: it's cleared up since then. What do you make of

498
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: the lack of activity around the National Football League on

499
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: trade deadline day. I think it got hyped up into

500
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: something that fans expecting maybe more than was realistically going

501
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: to happen. I think we're in an age now where

502
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: even exploratory conversations between teams get blown up by national

503
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: media news breakers into something bigger than maybe it really is.

504
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: There are exploratory conversations between teams all the time, not

505
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: just on deadline day. And I think some of those

506
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: exploratory conversations, which probably in most cases yesterday we're just

507
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: check in type, calls something like this. Let's just say,

508
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: for argument's sake, Brandon Bean calls Dave Gettlman in New

509
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: York says, hey, has anything changed with respect to that

510
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: defensive tackle I talked to you about two weeks ago?

511
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: You are the parameters any different than what we discussed

512
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: two weeks ago? Now they really aren't. We'd prefer to

513
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: hold on to them if you want them. It's really

514
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: going to take this. Okay, nothing's changed, thanks very much,

515
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: and that's it. That could go and get reported by somebody.

516
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: As Bill's still in talks with the Giants about this.

517
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: We'll see if it happens before the deadline when really

518
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: there was not a lot of substance to it in

519
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: the first place. And I think that created a false narrative,

520
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: so to speak, that all of these trades were going

521
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: to happen, and it wouldn't surprise me if Dallas and

522
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: the Jets, you know, the whole Jamal Adams thing that

523
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: got blown out of proportion was nothing more than that.

524
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: So I think that's why people are like, Wow, why

525
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: did nothing happen? I think it was over reported, to

526
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: be quite honest. And I think agents play a role

527
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: in this too, don't you Chris. Yeah, they've been known

528
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: to stoke the fires and the embers on things that

529
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: might be discussed but might not be advanced to a

530
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: stage where a potential deal could actually happen. And so yeah,

531
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: there's two sides of it, for sure. Yea, what do

532
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: you think about this week's game? What do you get

533
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: since coming out of the locker room or the vibe

534
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: coming out of the tunnel or out of the doorways

535
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: at practice with this team with nothing going on at

536
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: the deadline, these are the fifty three guys are gonna

537
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: go through the rest of the season with what are

538
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: the thoughts on how's the vibet practice. Strict focus on

539
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: fundamentals right away. I mean, the defensive players are already

540
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: in tackling drills wrapping up you know, they're rolling the

541
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: doughnut out there to get your head across the face

542
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: and tackle properly, not arm tackle, shoulder tackle. And then

543
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: you got guys wrapping up the dummy and flying onto

544
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: the the padded mattress to get all the way through

545
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: the tackle, drive your hips through the tackle fully. So

546
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: right away, an immediate focus on fundamentals by the defense,

547
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: and they're rotating through it. They rotate through by position groups,

548
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: so each coach has a specific tackling station, and then

549
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: after about two minutes and everybody gets their reps, they

550
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: rotate through the next station. And so you have the

551
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: d line doing it, you have the linebackers doing it,

552
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: and you have the dbs doing it as a position group,

553
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: and they all rotate through. So a clear focus there.

554
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: And then you've got offensive players, chiefly the line and

555
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: the tight ends, going through specific blocking drills where it's

556
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: not just engaging in a block, it's getting the proper

557
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: footwork second step always important for a linemen and for

558
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: tight ends, So they're working on all that stuff as

559
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: we speak. Techning obviously an issue last Sunday for really

560
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: for the worst it's been in the season so far.

561
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: Penalties remain an issue. McDermott talked about it earlier this week,

562
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: having an official in practice last week. I don't know

563
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: how you fix that, Chris, And it's you know, it

564
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: hasn't gone away yet, right with the Bills averaging eight

565
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: point four penalties per game, and half of them pre snap,

566
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure McDermott's pulling out his hair trying to figure

567
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: out I'll solve that problem. Yeah, and he doesn't have

568
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: any more here to pull out either, So yeah, I mean,

569
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: it's it's a situation here where quite frankly, guys, it's

570
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: on the players. It's on the players now. Because coach

571
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: McDermott said it on Monday, we drilled down hard on

572
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: that last week. He had a retired NFL official in

573
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: here explaining what some of the key emphasis points that

574
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: officials are looking at and looking to call and what

575
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: might be some of the triggers that will prompt them

576
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: to throw a flag, whether it's you know, you get

577
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: your hand on the back of a shoulder of a

578
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. An offensive line is going to get called

579
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: for holding. It's going to be almost automatic, you know,

580
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: lining up in the neutral zone, where exactly is that

581
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: line of demarcation because you know that defensive linemen are

582
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: always trying to get that little extra four inches, you know,

583
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: to get an extra edge and getting off the ball

584
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: quickly to win their one on one matchup. Well, you

585
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: know you had the ref talking about that as well,

586
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: where's that line of demarcation? How much wiggle room is

587
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: there in terms of kind of trying to give yourself

588
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: even the slightest advantage. So you know that retired official

589
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: went over that with those players last week. Unfortunately, it

590
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: didn't reveal itself in the game, you know, with the

591
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: penalties that they committed last week. I believe it was

592
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: eight in total. So it's on the players now. The

593
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 1: coaches can only emphasize it so much. The players have

594
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: to go out there and do it and be more disciplined.

595
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: And discipline is something that coach McDermott talks about all

596
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: the time. It just hasn't manifested itself in being or

597
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: in avoiding yellow flags. Well, we also know at this

598
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: time of year of injuries or a problem. Levi Wallace

599
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: is limited in today's practice, Kevin Johnson will probably take

600
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: his reps. How does the defensive backfield rotation look? What

601
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: do you expect to see back there with the guys

602
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: getting nicked up at this time of year. Yeah, I

603
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: mean it'll be Kevin Johnson at right corner in Wallace's place.

604
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: But Wallace is limited, so in the reps that he

605
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: steps out for, and he's wearing a red non contact

606
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: jersey today, so when the reps that he steps out for, yeah,

607
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson will be in. Kurt Coleman back in the

608
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: practice setting. I'll be it on a limited basis after

609
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: missing last week's game with a hamstring injury that he

610
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: suffered the week prior. But he's moving around pretty well.

611
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked pretty aggressive going through those tackling

612
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: drills about five minute ago. So we'll see how he

613
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: makes his way through the week. If he can get

614
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: up to full participation by the end of the week,

615
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: then he's probably back in the fold as a special

616
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: teams contributor on Sunday and then Cody Ford in a

617
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: red non contact jersey as well. And this is interesting

618
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: because Another non participant is tie and Secki, who has

619
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: been getting Wednesdays off for veteran rest days. So with

620
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: him out of the mix and Cody Ford limited, I

621
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: expect Ryan Bates to take any and all practice reps

622
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: in the team setting that Cody Ford cannot. You know,

623
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: it struck me. I was looking over some stuff last night,

624
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Chris about the Buffalo offensive line and it's been the

625
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: same starting offensive line since the season began. This was

626
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: the unit with the most question marks when the Bills

627
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: went to training camp back in July. And you know,

628
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: we talk about nine new starters on offense and continuity,

629
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: and there has been continuity up front on the Bills

630
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: offensive line so far this year. We'll see if Cody

631
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: Ford is able to maintain that this week, though, Yeah, right,

632
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, as a group on the

633
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: whole have come together and done pretty well. They were

634
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: giving good pockets to Josh Allen last week. I think

635
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: the only part where they came up short at times

636
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: was in winning the battle at the line of scrimmage

637
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: in the run game. There were times where you know,

638
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: that defensive line for the Eagles did get the better

639
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: of them, and you don't really you haven't really seen

640
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo's offensive line get knocked back much at all in

641
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: the run game, and there were instances where that did

642
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: happen last week. Now you could say all that, and

643
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: you have to remember three of the four guys that

644
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: were lining up on the defensive line for the Eagles

645
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: last week, we're all former first round picks and are

646
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: pretty dargered players. So it's not like they were going,

647
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, against the sisters of the poor by any means.

648
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: They were going against the quality group. So hopefully they

649
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: can rally this week and win more of those battles

650
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: this week against the defensive line that I think is

651
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: underrated quite frankly in Washington with Jonathan Allen and then

652
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Ione Ionidas, who I think is the most underrated defensive

653
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: tackle in that three four front for Washington. This is

654
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: a guy that leads that team in sacks, quarterback hits

655
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: end tackles for loss. He's just a power rush guy

656
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: and he puts people on roller skates because he's built

657
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: like an ice box. He's very low to the ground

658
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: and he just gets up under guy's pads and just

659
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: walks them back to the quarterback. That was a guy

660
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: that believe it or not stood out for me over

661
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen and Deron Payne high draft picks for Washington

662
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: the past few years. What do you think about the

663
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins in the preparation the Bills are putting in

664
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: on them? What matchups do you think look good for

665
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: the Bills on both sides of the ball. Yeah, I mean,

666
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: I think this Washington team is better than their record indicates.

667
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: I know that's probably a cliche coach speak type of statement,

668
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: but I think it's true. There is talent on this roster.

669
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: The Washington organization has horribly mismanaged a lot of their

670
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: high end talent, but the fact remains they have players

671
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: that can make plays. They have playmakers, whether it's that

672
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: defensive front that I just referenced. You now have the

673
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: first round pick Montez Sweat and Ryan Carrigan on the

674
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: edges in that three four that come off and rush

675
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: the passer. You still have Josh Norman at cornerback, who

676
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: I think is still a top ten cornerback in this league.

677
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: And you know, you flip it over the offensive side

678
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: and guys, how about you. But Adrian Peterson I think

679
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: is just getting into a groove right now, at thirty

680
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: three years of age, this guy can still make jump

681
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: cuts and avoid people. He can still drag would be

682
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: tacklers with him. He may not outrun anybody anymore for

683
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: sixty yard touchdowns, but he can pull his way through

684
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: tackles get extra yards and over the last three games, guys,

685
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: he's averaging four point eight per carry. And against a

686
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: run defense that struggled last week and a new head

687
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: coach in Callahan who wants to run the football, you

688
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: better believe they're gonna see a whole lot of ad

689
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: this week. You know, I was thinking about this too,

690
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: Chris Fans with an appreciation for pro football history would

691
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: have to appreciate the fact that the NFL's fourth all

692
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: time leading rusher in the NFL sixth all time leading

693
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: rusher will both be on the field here in Orchard

694
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: Park this Sunday. Both of them, Gore and Adrian Peterson

695
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: likely headed for the Hall of Fame. That's kind of cool, right,

696
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 1: And Peterson just last week passed Ladanian, Tomlinson and Jerome

697
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: Bettis to move into sixth. So he went from eighth

698
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: to sixth in a week. So yeah, and climbing up

699
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: the charts still and this is no disrespect to Frank

700
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: Gore in any sense of the word, but Adrian Peterson

701
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: has gotten to thirteen thousand a whole lot faster than

702
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: he did in a lot less time. Yeah, and I

703
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: think it's going to be interesting to see, because there's

704
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: no question this the Washington team that has managed to

705
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: change its identity a little bit under under Callahan since

706
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: he's taken over the head coaching job from Jake Gruden.

707
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: Callahan a old offensive line coach, you know, and with

708
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, don't know if there's any chance at all

709
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: that he will retain the head coaching position after this season,

710
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: but you know, he's gonna get the most out of

711
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: the guys up front, and it's gonna be a run first,

712
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: particularly given we don't know who's gonna play quarterback for them,

713
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: right Yeah, Case keenam still in concussion protocol at least

714
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: as far as we know. We'll probably get an update

715
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: on that today. Quite frankly, guys, just in seeing some

716
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: of the limited tape on Dwayne Haskins, he just does

717
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: not look ready to handle the NFL game without looking

718
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: confused at times, patting the ball too much and again,

719
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: believe me, Washington is not my favorite franchise when it

720
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: comes to developing players. And it's clear to me that

721
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, Haskins is not being developed at the rapid

722
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: rate that you know, maybe fans would hope he is.

723
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: It's just what he's seeing out there. You can tell

724
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: that he's not getting a lot of reps, whether it's

725
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: in the practice setting or obviously on the field. So

726
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: if you're a Washington fan, you want to see case

727
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: Keenham going to play Buffalo on the road Dwayne Haskins

728
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: because I don't think the offense is going to do

729
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: a whole lot or Haskins is going to be respected

730
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: all that much by this Bill's defense in terms of

731
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: being threatened with the pass when you know that Adrian

732
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: Peterson's probably gonna get at the bulk of the workload.

733
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, last week's game or two weeks ago

734
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: against San Francisco, a top five run defense, and granted

735
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: it was a day luge, it was a monsoon there

736
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: in Washington two weeks ago, but the first ten plays

737
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: of the game, Adrian Peterson left, Adrian Peterson right, Adrian

738
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: Peterson up the middle and they got sixty eight yards

739
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: on his first ten carries, and then they threw a

740
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: short pass and kicked a field goal after they didn't

741
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: convert the third down. But they came out with Adrian

742
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: Peterson right away and he was productive for them, even

743
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: though a top five run defense in San Francisco knew

744
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: what was coming on every play and they were effective.

745
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: And they were in that game the whole way due

746
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: in part to the weather, but also in part because

747
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson was getting yards for them on a consistent basis,

748
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: even when that top five defense is San Francisco knew

749
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: what was coming. Bills have to get their run defense

750
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: straightened out this week because they're gonna see a lot

751
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: of him this week. Chris, you're gonna have to work

752
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: at it again tomorrow selling me on just how good

753
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 1: the Washington team might be. I'm not buying it yet.

754
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: I think they can run the ball, all right, I do.

755
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: I do believe that. You gotta think about the two

756
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: defenses they went against the last two weeks, Minnesota and

757
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: San Francisco, top five defenses, and they moved the ball

758
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: with Peterson. He was not the problem. Here's another good

759
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: defens er up against this week too. Buffalo. Yeah, all right,

760
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: Chris Snakes, All right, Brownie, you got a guy, Chris

761
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: Brown Bills inside of Buffalo bills dot Com. We'll talk

762
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: to tomorrow on the practice field. Do you think he's

763
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: overselling Washington a little bit? I think he might be. No,

764
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a team. When you look

765
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: at him on paper and when you see him on film,

766
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: you see some guys flash. But the problem is one

767
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: in seven. It's culture. I mean, it's it's nobody really

768
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: is selling out for each I mean it's it's a

769
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: group of independent contractors. They switched head coaches. They got

770
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: some guys that will play and play hard, but they're

771
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: not gonna play together, and they're not gonna play like

772
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: a team. And it's you can't win like that. So

773
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: you'll see some guys flash, like Adrian Peterson. But yeah,

774
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: so it's easy to talk yourself into how good they

775
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: could be. That's what Chris just did. But when you

776
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: see him play on Sunday, they can't put it together.

777
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: I think that's their issue. Got more to come where.

778
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: It'll take more of your phone calls too, If you'd

779
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: like to let us know what you think about the

780
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: Bills where the roster is right now, and how far

781
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: they might go with this Buffalo roster. Let us know

782
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: what you think. One of Bill's Live, presented by Kalida

00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: Not to be at practice. Yeah, you know, cold, wet, damn.

787
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: Just kind of as much as I love watching guys work, well,

788
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't. It is nice to be welcome back to

789
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: the show. Our Twitter poll today, I think it's a

790
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: good one. No deadline deals yesterday for the Bills. Really

791
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: nothing going on around the league at the NFL trade deadline.

792
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: So what do you think? This is your Buffalo Bill's roster?

793
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: What do you think? How good are they? How good

794
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: is this roster? How good? How far can they go?

795
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: How far can they go? With this group? On Twitter?

796
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: On the poll, we've got six hundred votes or more

797
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: in sixty percent do you think they can make the playoffs?

798
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: Twenty eight percent say you think they can win playoff games.

799
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at. Ten percent say they won't make

800
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Three percent think they can win a championship

801
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: with this group. Let's know what you think. Eight three

802
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: fifty to three one eight eight eight five fifty two

803
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: five fifty Kevin on the line from Hamburg. Hello, Kevin,

804
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Is how you doing? Thanks for

805
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: taking my call? Sure the one. The only thing is

806
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: when the Lions having TJ. Howkinson the tight end, a

807
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: live Bills fan would have liked to, including myself, I

808
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: would have liked to see the Bills go out and

809
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: get Jesse James, the tight end who played for the Steelers,

810
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: who won the referee mess them over on the yeah

811
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: it's down call a couple of years ago. I think

812
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: the Bills have better tight ends, at least two of them,

813
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox and uh and Tyler Croft. I think they're

814
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: both better than Jesse James. I don't think tight end

815
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: is any Look, they just begin begun to scratch the

816
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: surface of what Tyler Croft can do for him and

817
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: they are into the midway point of the rookie season.

818
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: For the rookie Dawson Knox, I'd sit tight on that one.

819
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, yeah, that yeah, Kevin, that's I

820
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: think that's crazy talk. So once that's a I would

821
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: that's the last position, not the last, but I guess,

822
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, that would even cross my mind. But I

823
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: don't need another tight end. The guys they've got are

824
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: playing well and getting open um. You know, it's just

825
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: and they get a lot of targets too. So yeah, no,

826
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even think Jesse James would

827
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: make us better. I don't either. Mark and Jersey City Welcome, Mark,

828
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: you'reund the air. How you doing, guys? Thanks for having me.

829
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: As it relates to the whole, I'm glad that they

830
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: stand as they you know they It's just like a

831
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: carpenter or or chef or cook. You see what you

832
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: have in your covered or your toolbox first before you

833
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: go out shopping. And there's enough new pieces there. And

834
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: it's all about Josh Allen developing that unlocks it and

835
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: playing the clean game. But the fans with this Josh

836
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: Allen fumble on the on the jets, on his how

837
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: many times has he been successful with it? This season?

838
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: With you with you, It's ridiculous. It's like the one

839
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: time I granted it was horror, it was a terrible.

840
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: I was beside myself when it happened. But I need

841
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: both my hands and some of my toes to come

842
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: how many times it's been successful. Right, it's a bread

843
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: and to me, I call it a bread and butter play.

844
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: And some offenses used to be I don't know if

845
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: they still do it or what it used to be.

846
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: You'd have plays, a handful of plays in your playbook,

847
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: maybe more than a handful of plays, and you'd run

848
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: against any defense they would throw at you. You'd stick

849
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: with it because you knew how to run it against

850
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: every that play against every front. You knew how to

851
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: run it against talented players, untalented players, good D's, bad

852
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: D's zone, man, whatever, it didn't matter. You'd run that

853
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: play against anybody. And I think that play that we

854
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: saw called on that third and two was one of

855
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: those plays. They'll run that play against anybody, and they

856
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: have all seasons so and I if you're gonna characterize it, yeah,

857
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: it's conservative, but man, oh man, they're gonna they were

858
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: gonna get it if he didn't cough it up. But

859
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a tough two yard run, no

860
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: question about it. But it's a play that, man, you

861
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: gotta feel confident in because it's worked, so we'll get it.

862
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I get the it's easy to criticize when

863
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: you get beat like the Bills did on Sunday by

864
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: a good team, but to start there and just just

865
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: because that play kind of pivoted that first half and

866
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: gave the Eagles a chance to you know, get the

867
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: lead back, I have a hard time throwing eggs in

868
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: all my eggs into that basket of criticism for the game.

869
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 1: No deal by the Bills made before the trade deadline.

870
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: Sean mcderman talked about it today. He meant the media

871
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: before practice. Here's what he had to say. Brandon and

872
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: I you know, had some conversations, um, really over the

873
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and I know he and his

874
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: staff do a good job looking into things. At the

875
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: end of the day, Um, I think you guys know

876
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: we're going to do things that are in the best

877
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: interests of this organization short and long term. And I

878
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, we didn't find

879
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: something that was that would be responsible for us to do.

880
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: I know a lot of teams go out there and

881
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: just do things, and we're trying to We're trying to

882
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: do this thing the right way. Here and so um,

883
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, we want to be responsible with that as well.

884
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: It's a really interesting choice of words, you know what

885
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: I mean, You don't you don't hear that often we

886
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: didn't want to do something it was irresponsible, meaning we

887
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to make a trade that was not in

888
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: the best interest of the team, I guess. But to

889
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: call him responsible irresponsible, I just find that kind of interesting. Well,

890
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: I think it also means that there were some guys

891
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: out there, and there were some guys they were interested in,

892
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: and maybe some offer and maybe some offers that came

893
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: their way. It was just like, you know what, that's no,

894
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work for us. And I just want again,

895
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: I think this Brandon being a Sean McDermott, showed discipline

896
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: in their plan. They got a plan they gotta lay out.

897
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: They got a program and a call it process, you know.

898
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: And I hate saying it because it says it gets

899
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: said so much, but that's what it is. And this

900
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: is outside the confines of that and they weren't going there,

901
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: and I applaud them for being disciplined. If if indeed

902
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff was true. When we come back after

903
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, We're going to talk about

904
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: the Bills and the league and the trade deadline fizzle.

905
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: I guess you know nobody made a deal. I'm gonna

906
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: talk with field Yates from ESPN. He's their NFL insider.

907
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: He joins us on Wednesdays at one and he's coming

916
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: not practicing today. Linebacker Maurice Alexander with a knee, Kurt

917
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: Coleman limited, Levi Wallace limited, Cody Ford limited, Lorenzo Alexander

918
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: gets the rest day. With the win on Sunday, the Bills,

919
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: when improved to six and two, that would be their

920
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: best record through eight games in twenty six years. They

921
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: were seven and one in nineteen ninety three. The weather

922
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: first Sunday calls for clouds and some showers of high

923
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: forty two. Tony Carrente is the referee. Bills and Washington

924
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: coming up here in Orchard Park on Sunday. Washington probow

925
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: left tackle Trent Williams ended his holdout yesterday, moments before

926
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. The Washington has been granted a roster exemption.

927
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: They held firm to their trade demands, and sources at

928
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: his value in the market was not what many had expected. Meantime,

929
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: Washington quarterback case Keenan remains in concussion protocol, meaning rookie

930
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins could be moving toward making his first NFL

931
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: starts Sunday in Buffalo. He is their first round draft

932
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: pick out of Ohio State. The Patriots release kicker Mike

933
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: Nugent yesterday, and they've agreed to terms and signed veteran

934
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: Nick Folk to a contract. Folk Lass kicked in the

935
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: NFL with Tampa Bay in twenty seventeen. Nugent's release comes

936
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: after a rain soap win over Cleveland in which he

937
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: missed a thirty four yard field goal and a twenty

938
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: nine yard or was blocked. Trade deadline comes and goes

939
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: with some turmoil with the Jets in New York. The

940
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: Jets did not make any deals, but they seemed to

941
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: have a mest to clean up a rift between star

942
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: safety Jamal Adams and first year general manager Joe Douglas.

943
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: Adams attacked Douglas on Twitter yesterday, saying he told Douglas

944
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: last week he wanted to stay with the Jets, but

945
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: the GM went behind my back, he said, when he

946
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: shopped him around the league. Savers practicing today as they

947
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: get set for back and back games this weekend. They

948
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: playing in Washington on Friday and then host the Islanders

949
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: on Saturday. That's the next two games up for the

950
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: Buffalo Sabers, and in Houston tonight it is Game seven

951
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: of the World Series, Max Scherzer against Zach Griner, the

952
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: first Game seven and World Series featuring former Cy Young

953
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: Award winners as starters. Interesting Game seven tonight, eight h eight,

954
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: First pitch. That's the update from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy,

955
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker in our Seneca studio on the line with us,

956
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: a man who joins us every Wednesday. At this time.

957
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: He is NFL insided from ESPN Field. Yate's good afternoon, Field,

958
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us today. We appreciate you coming on again.

959
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: Hey guys, It's crazy to think that as of right now,

960
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: we are halfway through the NFL regular season. I don't

961
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: know where the time goes, but it always flies by,

962
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: it does. Yeah, do you think and somebody had to

963
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: be right yesterday and not making a deal? Where the

964
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: Bills one of the teams that were right and not

965
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: making a deal, or were they one of the teams

966
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: that probably should have been didn't? I thought they were

967
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: right making a deal not making a deal because it

968
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: didn't seem like there was a deal available to them

969
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: that represented a buyer's market, and not that you can't

970
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: pay a premium for a player if you believe that

971
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: that player is worth the cost, whether it's draft picks,

972
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: whether it is free agency money, whether it is claiming

973
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: somebody off of waivers, etc. It felt, though, I mean,

974
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,919
Speaker 1: just based off the fact that there was only one

975
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: trade in total yesterday, and that was essentially a salary

976
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: dump from Los Angeles to Miami with a keep to

977
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: leave going along with a fifth round pick for a

978
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two seventh round pick. That yesterday was a

979
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: seller's market. It was not a buyer's market. And I

980
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: think what we learned yesterday, maybe even more than anything else,

981
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: is that there's a certain sensitivity that a GM has

982
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: to operate with or be mindful of as it pertains

983
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: to his players, because it feels like the biggest storyline

984
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: is not the deals that were or weren't made, but

985
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: the deals that were discussed. The Jets are being pepper

986
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: questions today because so many of their star players were

987
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: on the market. Really fascinating day. From that standpoint, our

988
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: teams to blame for all that discussion our agents? Is

989
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: the media to blame? I mean, I just yeah, I

990
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: think you're right. It's the deal's not made and discussed

991
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: that got most of the attention over the last twenty

992
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: four hours. But I don't know what do you do

993
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: about that? Hard for me to say specifically who is

994
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: to blame or if there is blamed to be placed.

995
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: Let me try to unpeel this at least a couple

996
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: of the layers of this onion. I understand that a

997
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: general manager has a responsibility to his franchise to constantly

998
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: be evaluating options to improve the rosters, and Joe Douglas,

999
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: the Jets new general manager, was perhaps doing that when

1000
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: he was listening to offers. The part work got tricky

1001
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: is when it became public, and that may not be

1002
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas's faults. We don't know who was the person

1003
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: that would who We don't know who of the reporters

1004
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 1: that were reporting information, We don't know where they got

1005
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: their information. And just because Joe Douglas was the only

1006
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: one amongst NFL gms who we learned was listening to offers,

1007
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: which by the way, is very different than shopping players,

1008
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that other general managers weren't listening to

1009
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: offers around the league as well. This is not reporting.

1010
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm just just making this up as an example. We

1011
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: don't know whether somebody called the Seattle Seahawks and said, hey,

1012
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: would Chris Carson be available in a trade? Or Tyler

1013
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: Lockett be available in a trade. We don't know if

1014
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: John Schneider, their GM, would say, hey, well, you know,

1015
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,479
Speaker 1: if the price is right, then we would consider talking

1016
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: about them. Again. I'm not saying that's that happened, but hypothetically,

1017
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: we don't know. There might have been several gms who

1018
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 1: were dealing with what GM Joe Douglas dealt with. For

1019
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 1: the Jets yesterday. The tricky part is that became public

1020
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: and now you've got a star safety who is very

1021
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: much disappointed in the organization for now, and there's some

1022
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: frankly awkward conversations that will probably need to be had

1023
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: between he and Adam Gasee and Joe Douglas to men defenses,

1024
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: they feel, I have one more trade deadline question to

1025
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,919
Speaker 1: ask you, And back to the Bills. Sean McDermott said

1026
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: several times today how they're in an effort to be responsible.

1027
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: The Bills didn't make a deal. Do you think that's

1028
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: a buffalo approach or maybe kind of a league wide

1029
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: approach to the lack of deals that went down yesterday?

1030
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: And I said to Steve, I'm not quite sure what

1031
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: Sean meant by being responsible. I think I know, but

1032
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: it's just kind of an interesting choice of words. I

1033
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: think it was more of a league wide thing. I

1034
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: don't think the Bills were, you know it was this

1035
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: wasn't something specific to their roster or their situation where

1036
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 1: they were sort of capped or strapped by something. I

1037
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: thought the Bills probably there might have been deals through

1038
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: you may I don't know for sure, but probably my guests.

1039
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: My interpretation of what Sean said was that again, this

1040
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: was a seller's market, not a buyer's market, and you

1041
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: don't want to go into the trade deadline with an

1042
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: idea of what you want and what you're willing to

1043
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: pay and then overpaid dramatically just to get what you want.

1044
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, and you know this is not

1045
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: saying this just because we're speaking here on a Buffalo

1046
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: Bills program, But I've been really impressed with the way

1047
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: that Sean McDermott's and Brandon Bean just handled the transparency

1048
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: part of this. I think that Brandon Bean has been

1049
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: opened in the past and talking about how, you know,

1050
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: we're not going to shy away from deals, We're gonna

1051
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: look into deals, but also acknowledging you know, there's a

1052
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: cost part of it. I feel like they've done a

1053
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: good job for striking the balance of what's practical from

1054
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,479
Speaker 1: a resources standpoint and a need standpoint, and then also

1055
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: being mindful of players. What was the last time you

1056
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: heard really notable leak about a Bills player or something

1057
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: that was going on with the Bills. And yeah, I'm

1058
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: a reporter. Part of my job is to try to

1059
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 1: get information but I think a sign of a good

1060
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: team or you know, a well run culture is one

1061
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: where we're not constantly hearing people speculating about them in

1062
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 1: the media. So I think they've done a nice job

1063
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: of buttoning things up and being really rock solid and

1064
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: that we're going we work here, we don't hear anything.

1065
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, so we're So the Bills sit here with

1066
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster that the set that was

1067
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: the same roster as it was a day ago. Moving

1068
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: forward coming into town or the Washington Redskins. So the Bills.

1069
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: Can the Bills bounce back against the Redskins? What do

1070
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: you expect them to do going forward? And now that

1071
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: they have their guys that they're not going to move

1072
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: from them, how far can they go? And does it

1073
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: start this week? Yeah, they certainly can bounce back. But

1074
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: one thing I think we need to push back on

1075
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: a little bit is that the public narrative will be

1076
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: that a five and two team is going to steamroll

1077
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: a one and seventeam. That isn't to say that the

1078
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: Bills can't steamroll the Washington Redskins on Sunday, but the

1079
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: Redskins defensively are a tough out they are very very

1080
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: solid upfronts. They've got multiple players that were drafted in

1081
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: the first round, some that are already established, really good

1082
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: players like Jonathan Allen and Deron Payne, who, if you

1083
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: saw the Washington game last Thursday night, had this phenomenal

1084
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: effort and talent play where he stripped Stefon Diggs like

1085
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: thirty five yards down the field, a three hundred and

1086
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: fifteen pound man hustling down the field to make a

1087
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: really exceptional play. So they've got good first round talent

1088
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: upfront and players like Matt Ianitis who were not first

1089
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:42,479
Speaker 1: round players but are also really talented guys. So there's

1090
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: thirty upfront on offensive work in progress, major work in progress.

1091
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: We don't know for sure he'll be the quarterback. We

1092
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: think there's a chance it could be case Keenum if

1093
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,959
Speaker 1: he clears the concussion protocol. They're a pretty tough team.

1094
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: They want a round the football at time. But I

1095
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: think the Bills definitely have it within them to get

1096
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 1: back on track this Sunday Buffalo defense. Of course, it's

1097
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: a foundation of the season so far, but some uncharacteristic

1098
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: lampses last week against Philadelphia. Any thoughts on that field,

1099
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: what might have what might have been the problem with

1100
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: the Bills defensively last week. Yes, certainly was very uncharacteristic performance.

1101
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 1: And you know, we look back at the big plays.

1102
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: Those are the ones that you always kind of as

1103
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: a casual observer think about first the long run by

1104
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, for example, But I felt like that was

1105
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 1: just a line of scrimmage game. And the Eagles offensive

1106
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: line I don't think has played up to the usual

1107
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: standards we expect from it up to this point in

1108
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: the season. But they were really good this past Sunday

1109
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: and seemed to just have the advantage on the first

1110
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: and second level, and then there was just some good

1111
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: hard running by the Eagles to evaporate potential tacklers on

1112
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: the third level. So just an impressive offensive line performance

1113
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: with good running that I thought probably made the Bills

1114
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: defense feel like it played even played worse than it

1115
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: really did. But I don't have as many worries this weekend.

1116
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: I think the Bills still very much have it within

1117
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: them to be a stack defensive front, something that we've

1118
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: seen really throughout the season, and they have been one

1119
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the NFL. They've been good

1120
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: against the past. Obviously, they've been solid against the run

1121
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: last week, notwithstanding opportunistic turn the football over. There's been

1122
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: a lot that I think the Bills can, or Bills

1123
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: fans can, say, hey, we've got a large body of

1124
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: evidence that this defense is going to be just fine. Yeah,

1125
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: and that's what I was going to ask you. The

1126
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: next question, is there a reason to be concerned? The

1127
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins ran the football for over one hundred yards, and

1128
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: of course the Eagles ran it for over two hundred.

1129
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: Washington's gonna come in with Adrian Peterson, who's the sixth

1130
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: leading rusher in NFL history for a career, and the

1131
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: Bills set and their critics. I don't believe, but the

1132
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: critics have said, hey, this they've played a week schedule.

1133
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: Have this Bills defense. There's no reason to think that

1134
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have been a good defensive, at least statistically,

1135
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: you know what, on the week scheduled part. I think

1136
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: it's such a ridiculous thought in some ways. First of all,

1137
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 1: they have no control over they play, and second of all,

1138
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: there are stats that can be inflated by the schedule.

1139
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: But then there are stats. It doesn't matter who you

1140
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: play to perform at a level that the Bills have

1141
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: in certain categories is not reflective of an average defense

1142
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: boosted by a week schedule. It's reflective of a very, very,

1143
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: very good defense. We have this conversation a lot with

1144
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: the Bills, with the forty nine ers, with the Patriots,

1145
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: because none of them have played a bunch of top

1146
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: level teams in the NFL this season. But you know something,

1147
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: there really aren't that many top level teams in the

1148
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: NFL this year, right, So it might be that a

1149
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: lot of weeks you're playing teams that record wise or

1150
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: performance wise might not be at the very top. So

1151
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: you're right, though it's been back to back weeks, you know,

1152
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: there's I think it seemed like the buzz, or at

1153
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: least the desire amongst fans going into the trade deadline,

1154
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: was whether the Bills would explore some interior defensive line help.

1155
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, this time of the season, now that the

1156
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: trade deadline is behind us, it's not sure that you're

1157
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: going to necessarily get decidedly better in that regard. It's

1158
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: more of a more a fit of a more matter

1159
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: of your fits in the middle of the defense, being

1160
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: solid and steady tacklers, and then every once in a while,

1161
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: just being stronger at the point of attack field. You

1162
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: mention right off the top how we are for the

1163
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: Bills anyway, approaching mid season. After this game their eighth game,

1164
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: they'll be right there, and I'm trying not to be impatient,

1165
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: but I also want to see signs that the offense

1166
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: will improve, and that includes the quarterback Josh Allen. What

1167
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: can we hang our hat on as we wait for

1168
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,439
Speaker 1: the Bills to kind of for the offense to kind

1169
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: of kick in here? What do you think? Well? Areas

1170
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: that I'd say you can hang your hat on consistency

1171
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: from some of the new acquisitions, right, I mean, Cole

1172
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: Beasley has been an effective player in his role. Brown's

1173
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: got fifty plus receiving yards in every game so far

1174
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: this season. I think Frank Gore's run about as well

1175
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: as you'd hope them to. Devin Singletary looks explosive. You're right, though,

1176
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: I think what it comes down to for the offense

1177
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 1: is are they going to have games where they just

1178
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: get uncorked? And what I mean by that is they've

1179
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: won five of their seven games. That's really really good.

1180
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 1: But are you going to have games where you don't

1181
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: have to grind it out, which was the case against

1182
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: Miami two weeks ago, and maybe that could be the

1183
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: case this week against the Washington Redskins. Can you uncorked

1184
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: things and become a much more high octane offense this year?

1185
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: Part of me thinks that maybe they're one offensive playmaker away,

1186
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: whether it's a dynamic tight end or a bigger, faster,

1187
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: stronger wide receiver than what they currently have. And not

1188
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: that those are easy to find, but those would be

1189
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: some potential areas that could help this team upgrade and

1190
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: take it to the next level. Now, the problem is

1191
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,439
Speaker 1: we're now past the trade deadline and there really isn't

1192
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: an out of house option to consider that checks those boxes. Yeah, going,

1193
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: and what about coming up? You talked about going back

1194
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: to the defense for just a second. The Bills defense.

1195
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: Name some of this statistics. I mean you tweeted out

1196
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: one where the drives of this defense or one of

1197
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: the top five in the league at percentage of drives

1198
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: that do not end in scores or that do end

1199
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: in scores. The Bills are right behind the Patriots and

1200
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in stopping drives at a higher

1201
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: percentage for no points. Yeah, and that's an important stat

1202
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: I really do believe it. I don't think that's merely

1203
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: a byproduct of who they're playing. To hold your opponents

1204
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: two points and basically one out of five drives, I

1205
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: think speaks to a really good defense. I mean twenty

1206
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: one percent. If you have somewhere between twelve and fifteen

1207
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: drives per game, you're talking about, you know, seventeen ish

1208
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: points per game. Maybe you know twelve to seventeen points,

1209
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: depending on how those drives end. You look at the

1210
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: three and out percentage, it's very high. You look at

1211
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: the past yards allowed, yards per tempt allowed, explosive plays allowed.

1212
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: All of those are areas where I think the Bills

1213
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: statistically show that they are a team that can be

1214
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: about as good as there is defensively in the NFL.

1215
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: And I know I'd imagine that a lot of what's

1216
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: happening right now is frustration boiling over from this past Sunday.

1217
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: But up until that point, the Bills had not laid

1218
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: an egg any game this season. They lost a close

1219
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: game or the Patriots all the way back in Week four,

1220
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: and although they've had to grind out some ugly wins,

1221
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: whether it's the win against the Dolphins against the Bengals, Like,

1222
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: you know something, wouldn't you rather haven't There been years

1223
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: in the past where the Bills would have lost those

1224
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: games and fans would have been in over their heads

1225
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: with being four and three at this juncture or three

1226
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: and four at this juncture. Like, I think there's some

1227
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: pretty tangible signs right now, even though last week was

1228
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: as difficult a week as they've had all seasons. Bill

1229
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: Gates is on the line with us. He's an NFL

1230
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,439
Speaker 1: insider from ESPN, also a fantasy football expert. We're gonna

1231
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: get some fantasy football questions for him coming up in

1232
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 1: a minute or two, but more NFL questions just around

1233
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the league a little bit. What do you make of

1234
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback flip in Cincinnati? And is this the end

1235
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: of the line for Andy Dalton Field? What do you think?

1236
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's the end of the

1237
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: line for Andy Dalton only because we still haven't seen

1238
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: a game from Ryan Finley. Logic would suggest yes, it's

1239
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: over and done with and that Andy Dalton will be

1240
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: playing elsewhere next season after his contract expires at the

1241
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: new league years beginning in March. It made sense in

1242
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: this way the Bengals are and eight they're on there by,

1243
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,439
Speaker 1: got a young quarterback in Ryan Finley they think has

1244
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: some promise. And I think the question that the Bengals

1245
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: might be asking themselves is this. And I know the

1246
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: draft is a long ways away, a guys, and no

1247
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: one wants to talk about the offseason yet, but there

1248
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: is the potential that the Bengals could be somewhere in

1249
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: the top five picks. And if you're somewhere in those

1250
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: top five picks, that almost always means you're going to

1251
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: be searching for a quarterback. And if they go through

1252
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: the next eight games and Ryan Finley shows tremendous promise

1253
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: and actually looks like a player that could be huge

1254
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: part of this franchise's future going forward, that could change

1255
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things. First of all, it probably means

1256
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: the team won't be taking picking in the top five

1257
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: because they'll have one a few games. But second of all,

1258
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: it would take them out of a quarterback race. Potentially

1259
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: it might mean that they instead look at players like

1260
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Ohio States Chase Young, one of the most heralded prospects

1261
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: in this year's class. So there is a lot to

1262
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 1: dive into with the Ryan Finley. I don't call it

1263
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: an era, but at the beginning of the Ryan Finley tenure,

1264
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: and as frustrating as it was for Andy Dalton yesterday,

1265
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: I understand the timing of it, given that there's no

1266
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: easy time to make a quarterback switch. But at least

1267
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: during the bye week you have two extra weeks an

1268
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: extra week. Yeah, there's also another team with some quarterback issues,

1269
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: and not all of them bad. Gardner Minshew and Jacksonville

1270
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: has played extremely well in the absence of Nick Foles,

1271
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: and now Nick Foles, who's been a Super Bowl MVP,

1272
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: is back in the mix or is going to be

1273
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: there shortly. What do the Jaguars do at quarterback? They

1274
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: got a good problem. They have Nick Foles eligible to

1275
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: play in week eleven. Gardner Minshew, who has been holding

1276
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: down the fort and been really solid. I wish they

1277
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: had an answer, and nothing matters if we did have

1278
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: an answer or not. We'll figure it out in a

1279
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks either way, And part of me wonders

1280
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars don't have an answer either, and not

1281
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: because they haven't thought about the possibility, more so because

1282
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: we're still out to week eleven. The decision is moot

1283
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: right now. And if Gardner Minshew next week are sorry

1284
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: this week play is really poorly, well, then maybe what

1285
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: happens is, hey, we'll go back to Nick Foles, the

1286
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: guy that we have a ton invested in. If Gardner

1287
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: Minshew plays really really well this Sunday, well, the maybe

1288
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: things just sort of stays that is quote and they

1289
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: try to rot it out. I don't know. And it's

1290
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: a good problem because you've got two good quarterbacks. It's

1291
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: a tough problem just because hey, it's it's it's a

1292
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 1: there's an emotional side of this as well. Gardner Minshew

1293
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: has been playing really well. You want to keep respecting that.

1294
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,919
Speaker 1: But Nick Foles is the captain and leader of your team.

1295
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: So fascinating situation coming out. You know what I think

1296
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: is a fascinating game field is Sunday night, the Patriots

1297
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: eight and no and the Ravens five and two. And

1298
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: I saw these stats today and I had a hard

1299
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: time believing in almost the Ravens. Since oh eight, twelve

1300
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: and one in home games in prime time under John Harbaugh,

1301
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: they've won ten home primetime games. Is that a factor

1302
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: when they host the unbeaten Patriots Sunday. Well, I think

1303
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: that anytime you play a home game in prime time,

1304
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: there is the possibility of the crowd being that much

1305
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: more engaged. I would think the Patriots probably just bring

1306
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: that out of every opponent, whether it's Sunday night at

1307
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: eight twenty or whether it's Sunday at one pm. Obviously,

1308
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: the Bills game earlier on this season in Buffalo, and

1309
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: you guys would know better than I, but it certainly

1310
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: looked like, you know, maybe the best atmosphere I saw

1311
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: for any regular season games so far this season, given

1312
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: the magnitude of it. But you're right, they have played

1313
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: really well under jarn Harbaugh under the lights. I think

1314
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: it's a great game. I think it's a great matchup

1315
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: in so many ways. And the Patriots obviously have been

1316
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: terrific defensively so far. This is probably the most dynamic

1317
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: test they faced. Lamar Jackson has evolved so much as

1318
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: a thrower this year, and you know, just already one

1319
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: of the league's most out and rushing threats. And this

1320
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: is interesting. Bill Belichick, during his time as the head

1321
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: coach a defense as never his defense has never allowed

1322
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: a one hundred yard rusher amongst quarterbacks, Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson,

1323
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: as we know, he's as prone as any quarterback in

1324
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, along with Josh Allen to run for a

1325
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: hundred yards in the game. Yeah, it's gonna be an

1326
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: interesting game. I'm looking forward to seeing that we're here

1327
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: with Field Yates and ESPN NFL inside, and also a

1328
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football experts which we're going to take advantage of.

1329
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Right now, we've got some questions from our listeners. Here

1330
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: we go. First, one from Tiffany. She says, with Mahomes

1331
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: most likely being out of the lineup this week, would

1332
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: you start Josh Allen or Jacobe Brissette. She says she's

1333
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,919
Speaker 1: on the ropes at three and five she needs some help. Thanks. Yeah,

1334
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 1: well not nothing better than having your own your own

1335
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 1: quarterback getting you off the ropes. I think I would

1336
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: go with Josh Allen. I know I mentioned the Redskins

1337
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: defense is tough upfront, but I do think some of

1338
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: the injuries they have in the secondary, plus Josh's ability

1339
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: to run, gives him the decided edge in that choice. There.

1340
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy question tweeted in from Brian. He says, I have Carson, Coleman,

1341
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: Montgomery and Jacobs, which running back. Should I bench this

1342
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: week Carson, Coleman, Montgomery, and Jacobs. Yes, I would out

1343
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 1: put bench David Montgomery. And you've got four studs right there.

1344
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: I know David Montgomery played amazing this past week for

1345
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: the Bears. Just don't know if it's gonna be easy

1346
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: to run the football. I mean, you guys just saw

1347
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: that Eagles run deepense. It could be pretty good, pretty good,

1348
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 1: all right? Last one, also from a listener, wide receivers.

1349
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:41,440
Speaker 1: They got four names here, okay, Cooper, Keenan, Allen McLaurin

1350
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: for the Skins, and John Brown. And also for running backs.

1351
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: You might have write this down running backs Devin Single,

1352
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: Arry mark Ingram, and which one for his flex non

1353
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 1: PPR single, Terry or Ingram. It's like six different questions, right,

1354
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,839
Speaker 1: Like the first answer, I would be Benching, Terry McLaurin,

1355
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 1: And then on the second answer, I think I would

1356
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 1: go with mark Ingram. Just because even though Devin Singletary

1357
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: played thirty nine snaps to Frank or seventeen last week,

1358
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: I felt like some of that was due to the

1359
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 1: fact that the Bills were down big and more of

1360
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: the passing down threat, whereas this week, if they are

1361
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,600
Speaker 1: playing a type or a competitive game against the or

1362
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: a tight game, or have the lead against the Redskins.

1363
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: It might mean a whole bunch more Frank or who

1364
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: we know, guys, it's just so dependable still, Frank or

1365
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: is the angeless wonder? I got one for you from

1366
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: Matt Start, Devin Singletary or Jordan Howard, also Beasley or

1367
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: DD Westbrook? Thanks, he says, what do you think I

1368
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 1: would go with Howard and Beasley? There? Beasley has been really,

1369
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: really solid, and now DD Westbrook is banged up. He's

1370
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: got a neck issue that caused him to leave the

1371
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: game this past week. So those would be my two answers.

1372
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: All right? This last one from Luke for a Field

1373
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Yates or esp an NFL insider an also fantasy football expert.

1374
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: Here we go questions for you, what do you do

1375
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: with David Montgomery? Seeing how Naggy doesn't know how to

1376
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: use him? Also, is it worth it to trade for

1377
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon? The answer in the Melvin Gordon one is no,

1378
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:17,600
Speaker 1: unless you can get him for pennies, and I mean

1379
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: pennies on the dollar. I just wouldn't be doing that

1380
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: right now based on how he has performed as far

1381
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: as David Montgomery, I think you either rode it out

1382
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: because there's the potential, or you try to trade high

1383
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: right now because he had his best game of the

1384
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: season this past week. So if you can get a

1385
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: very enticing offer for David Montgomery, now is a chance

1386
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 1: to strike. These Twitter questions they put you to work.

1387
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: Feel people are firing in like three, A lot of names,

1388
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,560
Speaker 1: a lot of names. I hopefully, hopefully I'm remembering the

1389
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: right ones here. You're good at it, you got it.

1390
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for being out with us today. We'll talk to

1391
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 1: you again next week. Field, Thank you all right, guys,

1392
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Field the eight NFL Insider on ESPN,

1393
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: the host of the Fantasy Football Now broadcast on ESPN.

1394
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: People are people are tweeting in three questions they're getting

1395
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 1: three for the price of one. Well, probably that price

1396
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: is free, right. Yeah, it feelds pretty good hand. He

1397
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: like Chris brown has I'm not gonna say high regard

1398
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: for Washington, but maybe higher regard than Washington's won and

1399
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: seven record might lead you to believe. Yeah, they kind

1400
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: of said the same thing in two different ways. Brownie

1401
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: said the old cliche that they're better than their record

1402
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 1: would indicate and field. When a little more specific, he said, Listen,

1403
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 1: their defense is solid and it gives them a chance.

1404
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 1: And that's h and that's you know, let's think about it.

1405
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: That's what people say about the Buffalo Bills right now. Yeah,

1406
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 1: their defense gives them a chance. Our offense has got

1407
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: enough playmakers and it has improved dramatically because of the

1408
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: offensive line, play in front of it, uh, in front

1409
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: of the in front of the quarterback Josh Allen, and

1410
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: the running game. So they're not what they were a

1411
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: year ago. This is a much better football team now.

1412
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I can I can see it. When you

1413
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: play good defense, You've got a lot of gifted athletes

1414
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: up there, like the Redskins. Do it gives you a chance,

1415
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: It gives you a chance. We'll see. Hey, yeah, we

1416
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 1: haven't read one of our own tweets. We're gonna get

1417
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet. Maybe more your phone calls when

1418
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: we come back. No moves made by the Bills at

1419
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. So how far can this current roster

1420
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: tank them. We'll resume that discussion when we come back.

1421

Speaker 1: deadlin here in Buffalo and most of the places around

1436
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. What do you think about that? That's our

1437
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: Twitter pool. No moves made by the Bills. How far

1438
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 1: can this current roster take to them? What do you think?

1439
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Give us a call? Eight three fifty toll free one

1440
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty John in

1441
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 1: ton of one to go ahead, John, Hey, I was

1442
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: just calling to make a point about Josh Allen and

1443
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,919
Speaker 1: how although we didn't do anything here at the trade deadline,

1444
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: it's not really necessary, and how what we really need

1445
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:33,520
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen to step up and be the quarterback

1446
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: that we all know he can become, and that he

1447
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 1: really hasn't been the past few weeks as we're moving

1448
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: into the second half of the season. That is to

1449
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 1: fix it. I believe too. I think you're into something there,

1450
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: Jenn that would fix almost everything on the Buffalo offensive.

1451
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: Josh gets better, and I'll be patient eighteen NFL starts.

1452
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: He is better, I think, considerably better than he was

1453
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: a year ago. Considerably better and more promising in any

1454
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 1: quarterback they've had for a long long time. But uh,

1455
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 1: let's go, let's get moving right let's I agree too,

1456
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: And I think there's a couple of oh, go ahead, John,

1457
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: if you want to finish up. Oh, just like the

1458
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: throws that he needs to make that we we saw

1459
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 1: the second half of the season when he came back

1460
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: from the elbow injury. Yeah said about missing he see

1461
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 1: to feel better. I think, yeah, yeah, I agree. I

1462
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: think the thing about Josh that we all see is

1463
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: it's in there and he's working hard and he's trying

1464
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 1: to get better. I think there's a couple of things

1465
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: he's that are important to remember, though, and we've seen

1466
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: it in both seasons he's played. He gets injured. He

1467
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: got his elbow hurt last year although he was standing

1468
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 1: in the pocket making a throw and it was kind

1469
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: of a freaky thing. And then he got a concussion

1470
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:48,560
Speaker 1: this year running uh and and not sliding on a

1471
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: play that he got hit illegally. Um, it's a danger

1472
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: to have it. And it's an offense too. We saw

1473
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: this last weekend. They've been criticized for they call some

1474
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 1: quarterback runs for him. Now, I don't have a on

1475
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: him with that, per se is the fact, but just

1476
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:05,720
Speaker 1: to say it puts him at risk. He needs to

1477
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: stay on the field. When he's on the field, he

1478
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: seems to get better incrementally every week. He's got a

1479
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: ways to go. He knows that. And I think I'm

1480
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 1: with the two of you, both John Murphy and John

1481
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: the caller. I think we're just waiting on him to

1482
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 1: get better, you know, And I think it's gonna happen.

1483
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: I've this is a really good football team right now,

1484
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: but I think it would be a complete football team

1485
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: when Josh, you know, makes better decisions, makes better throws,

1486
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: completes a higher percentage of his passes, which we've seen

1487
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 1: him do. Here's John and Rochester. Go ahead, and John,

1488
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. How are you doing Okay? People

1489
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 1: don't seem to remember nine months ago nine members of

1490
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 1: the starting offensive team. We're not here in Buffalo. The

1491
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 1: two that were is a second year quarterback in the

1492
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: third year type um tackle. It takes time to get

1493
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: things together. When are they going to get together? Probably

1494
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 1: next preseason. I don't want to wait that long, though.

1495
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: Do you want to wait that long? John? Yes, because

1496
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 1: it's something they're building that's going to not be one

1497
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 1: or two years, but it will be the elective Patriots,

1498
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 1: so it will be the year after year. All you're

1499
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: gonna do is let them grow, keep your draft picks

1500
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: for the next year because they've done the nextcellent job

1501
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: drafting people, and keep the money and resign your own

1502
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 1: people and not take chances on big name people. Exceedingly patient, John,

1503
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: and I salute you for that. Most fans are not

1504
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 1: that way. And I do think there is an argument

1505
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: to be made, Steve, and it comes it came about

1506
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:51,719
Speaker 1: before the trade deadline yesterday and even after the trade deadline,

1507
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: that when the landscape is as open as the AFC

1508
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: appears to be, you have to strike. And I get

1509
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: it when people say they should have made a trade

1510
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: because the AFC is wide open or nearly as wide

1511
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 1: open as it'll get, and those who look at it

1512
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 1: next year's schedule and say, there's no way the Bills

1513
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 1: get this kind of a cake schedule. They still have

1514
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: the fourth easiest schedule remaining in the league coming up,

1515
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: even though they they probably played the easiest schedule in

1516
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 1: the league so far. No, I get what you're saying

1517
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: about how they you know, the Patriots are kind of

1518
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: running off with it, and then there's everybody else and

1519
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: there's it's wide open for the rest of the teams.

1520
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't think, while I get what you're saying, you

1521
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,799
Speaker 1: gotta strike while you can while so you can't explaining

1522
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: Devil's Advocate here about, Yeah, you can't abandon your plan

1523
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: and your program just because two or three other teams

1524
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: are having a bad year that you expected to be contenders.

1525
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: You know you can't. We didn't. We thought the Jets

1526
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: would be better. Wow, we thought the Cleveland Browns would

1527
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: be better. Okay. The Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger goes down. Okay,

1528
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: now they're struggling. You can't all of a sudden, we're

1529
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna abandon the two work we've done for two years

1530
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 1: in order to get in on this year because we

1531
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: got an easy schedule. You can't do that. I agree,

1532
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: that's that's wrong. So you go with what you got.

1533
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: And can I say that might be exactly what mcdermot's

1534
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: referring to him when he says we were responsible. We're

1535
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: not going to abandon our plan which is in place,

1536
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: our process. And by the way, I'm just playing devil's advocate. Yeah,

1537
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 1: and and I'm also saying this there could have been

1538
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 1: trades made that would not have been abandoning that plan,

1539
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: but they chose not to make any Okay, right, they

1540
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: have a plan in mind, that's right, And so that's

1541
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: that's where I sat on it. Yeah, Okay, that the

1542
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: schedule turns out this year that it's going to be easy,

1543
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 1: it could have just as easily turned the other way.

1544
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't know that, and you don't plan

1545
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: for that. You plan to be as good as your

1546
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: football team can be, and then you see what you've

1547
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: got as at the end of the season, see how

1548
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: it went. You deal with the injuries, and you go

1549
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: with the guys you've gotten if you need something at

1550
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. Like listen, they were busy last year

1551
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: at the trade trade deadline, and a lot of teams were.

1552
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: It's just the climate that they were in. They felt

1553
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: like they needed to have some things fixed. It was

1554
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: easy to see that they did this year. Well, they're

1555
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 1: five and two and it's not so easy, you know,

1556
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:00,680
Speaker 1: and you don't want to get outside the line. So

1557
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: I think they showed great discipline. They're a different football

1558
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: team than they were twelve months ago, and I think

1559
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: that's as much of a reason that they're standing pat

1560
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 1: with the rosters as anything. One more called to Joe

1561
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: and Rochester. Go ahead, Joe, welcome to the show. Okay.

1562
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm happy with I'm happy with where they are, with

1563
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: the players they got. I just think the downfall of

1564
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,240
Speaker 1: this team is going to be the is gonna be

1565
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: the coach in um. Like I know you guys always

1566
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: you get mad when people call say the play calling

1567
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: is bad, but I mean that the fumble you say,

1568
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 1: it's a conservative call to round with the quarterback. But

1569
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: it's really not when he's fumbled eight times and we

1570
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: haven't even played eight games this year, so I mean

1571
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:45,719
Speaker 1: it's that was his third lost fumble. He had seven

1572
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 1: before that. They've had success with that play, so I

1573
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: would disagree. I'm not mad by the way. I don't

1574
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: get mad. Go ahead, and that's just I mean, it's

1575
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: risky to run. I like when they run with them.

1576
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:56,720
Speaker 1: There's just there's a time to do it, not deep

1577
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 1: in your own territory, right before halftime when you're winning.

1578
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: You know what, I name a name a more conservative

1579
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: play call than the one they called A run with

1580
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 1: a running back. A run with a running back he

1581
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: don't use like singletary when half of the games he

1582
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: averages seventeen yards of carry, But we give it to

1583
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: him three times like that, that's what you're So they've

1584
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 1: run it three times in a game. You're saying, run

1585
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 1: an unrehearsed a play that you don't know that it'll work,

1586
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: versus a play that has no handoff involved on a

1587
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: play that has worked every single time they have run it. God,

1588
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: you see, Well, you're not making any sense, Joe, I

1589
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: get it. You could have handed it off. Sounds easy now,

1590
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: but it was. It's a more risky play. I know

1591
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 1: he did because he thinks he thinks I'm wrong, and

1592
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: he's laughing because are you mad? I'm not. I'm mad.

1593
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm frustrated that I gotta talk to a guy like

1594
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 1: that who thinks he's right when he's wrong. Now you're

1595
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 1: getting mad. Now I'm getting mad. I'm mad at my job,

1596
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: though I'm not really mad at Joe. Are you mad

1597
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: at me? No? Okay, that's true. Though how many times

1598
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,679
Speaker 1: you got to say it? That play they called disagree

1599
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: you could have what happens if he tries to hand

1600
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: it off to Devin Singletary and they cough that up,

1601
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 1: that's not then that's a conservative call too. But I

1602
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 1: know there it really is. I mean, and now they're

1603
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 1: blaming the play call for Josh coughing it up. I

1604
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 1: mean to say, that is crazy. And if it's not crazy,

1605
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 1: it's just playing dumb. That's it makes no sense. I'm

1606
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: gonna get the most conservative they could have gone. You're

1607
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna say you will thank me for thank you. I

1608
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 1: appreciate it now. Already a couple of tweets. Let's see

1609
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 1: we can get Steve Man down. The tweet sheet brought

1610
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official movers of

1611
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills from Bill, they'll make the playoffs. We

1612
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: asked the question no moves made in the trade deadline.

1613
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 1: How far can this roster take him? Bill says, they

1614
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but I don't think we can win

1615
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: the wildcard game. The offense has a hard time playing

1616
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: against a competent defense. Our defense will keep it close.

1617
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: I don't think the offense can do it, especially when

1618
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 1: they'll be playing on the road. Well, look, that's the

1619
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: fear playoffs started next week. I would put more stock

1620
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: in your response there, Bill, but there's an entire half

1621
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 1: season plus one game to get the offense better. So

1622
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. He's right about one thing. Bill, You're right

1623
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 1: about one thing. They got to play better offensive, no

1624
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: question about it. Yeah. And also from Nikki says, with

1625
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: our roster playing the way we are, we will beat

1626
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: teams less talented than us, but I don't think we

1627
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: can beat upset more talented teams with our schedule. That

1628
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 1: should be enough to make the playoffs, but it will

1629
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: be hard to win playoff games. Hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

1630
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: I guess we're well. Obviously from the Twitter poll and

1631
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: the percentages, sixty percent of the people kind of agree

1632
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: with that. They got full faith that we're gonna be

1633
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: able to make the playoffs, right given the hot start

1634
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,679
Speaker 1: we've got, given the schedule that it's remaining, and whatever

1635
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 1: else we can anticipate. You know, people think, yeah, we'll

1636
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 1: get the playoffs, but you know, I don't know well,

1637
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 1: and that's the way it should. You know, playoffs are

1638
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: a different animal. So we'll see Tiffany tweets this in

1639
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: playoff team. The Bills are a playoff team without a doubt.

1640
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 1: If they can clean up some of the pre snap

1641
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: and red zone penalties the defense, hopefully he can get

1642
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: rolling five and two with some soft teams still on

1643
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: the schedule, a wild card birth is within reach. I'm

1644
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: not sure if they can advance, but you never know.

1645
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: You never knew non And look, the story of this

1646
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: season is still very much waiting to be told. Right

1647
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 1: with nine games left, I don't know how it's gonna

1648
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 1: wind up. I think they're off to a really good

1649
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 1: start with really good prospects, schedule, etc. Defense, But you

1650
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,719
Speaker 1: never know, Yeah, you don't. Here's one from Dinah, who's

1651
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: in the camp of eleven plus. Murph went I went

1652
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: with playoff win win a playoff game, although it could

1653
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: be singular. I think that the regular season will be

1654
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 1: eleven and five and that means three more losses. I

1655
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 1: don't know who they will be two. It could be

1656
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: any teams. Going undefeated in the regular season isn't easy.

1657
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: Only to him two teams have ever done, so I

1658
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,560
Speaker 1: don't know what what going undefeated has to do with

1659
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: being five and two at this point, but yeah, I

1660
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: think they've got a playoff. Dinah picked eleven wins. She

1661
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 1: with a playoff win. Oh, is that what you meant

1662
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 1: When I asked how many regular season wins will the

1663
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: Bills get? I said that you said eleven plus and invalid.

1664
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 1: I think that would have been thrown out in any court.

1665
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 1: That's an invalid answer. If I don't know if Bob

1666
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 1: Barker would have thrown him, I had to ask go

1667
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 1: to the judges, would have gotten a ding or a buzzard.

1668
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 1: One more from Ron on the tweet sheet, I went

1669
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: with a playoff game with the talent that said, I

1670
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,600
Speaker 1: will echo what a lot of people are saying the

1671
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: talent needs to be utilized better, including Singletary, and the

1672
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: best eleven should play fair enough. I see it. I

1673
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. Singletary is kind of the focal

1674
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 1: points to even we've talked about it. I don't know

1675
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: if you want to get deep into it here, but

1676
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 1: everybody wants to see more of him, and there's more

1677
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 1: to be There's more to be game from Devin Singletary,

1678
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: from the motor. I appreciate that. I acknowledge that not

1679
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 1: enough carries. Are they easing him in because he's a rookie,

1680
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: easing him in because of the hamstring injury that kept

1681
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: him out for about three games? All good questions, Right

1682
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: do they do you want to turn them loose this week?

1683
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I don't know. I don't

1684
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: know either, and I think one of the things you'll

1685
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 1: find and I don't know if this is the case

1686
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 1: with Devin's Singletary or not, but sometimes when you've got

1687
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:06,560
Speaker 1: a young player they like or that you want to

1688
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 1: see more of, and you think, why don't they go

1689
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: to it more? They've got reasons for it. Either. There

1690
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: are certain things that they're worried about him being able

1691
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:14,640
Speaker 1: to accomplished like in early in training Well, give an

1692
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: example the early in training camp. The guy's five eight

1693
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 1: two hundred. Is he big enough to take on a

1694
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 1: linebacker and pass protection? Can he get that done? That

1695
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: would be one thing where they saying, Okay, we're not

1696
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 1: going to put him in a situation where he has

1697
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: to do that. We're gonna keep him away. That would

1698
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 1: be one reason of a myriad of reasons why you

1699
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: would see less of a player on the field than

1700
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 1: you would like. I don't know if I don't think

1701
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 1: that's the case with Devin's singletary, but it could be

1702
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 1: something along those lines. He may have limitations in his

1703
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: game that we're not aware of, or they just want

1704
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 1: to make sure that as a guy coming into his

1705
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: first part of the and they've done this too with

1706
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: guys coming back off injury, they kind of ease him

1707
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 1: back into the lineup. Tyler Croft was active for full

1708
01:25:58,000 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: game before he ever caught a pass last week or

1709
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to. Maybe some of that is as

1710
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 1: going on with Devin Singletary. But I'm with you, I

1711
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 1: think it's on the horizon that he's gonna start getting

1712
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 1: a lot of touches. He got one touch in the

1713
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: first half of that football game last week, but he

1714
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: got eight touches in the second half. So I think

1715
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 1: that's more what we're trending towards. Yeah, forty five snaps,

1716
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 1: many more snaps than Frank Gord did in the Philadelphia game.

1717
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 1: Bryan Gabole was asked about a Monday and he said,

1718
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: we can't. We have to keep working on that. You know,

1719
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 1: he gets it, he knows. All right, a breakcare. We're

1720
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 1: coming back for a few more calls and maybe more

1721
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: discussion about tweet our Twitter question. So the rosters said

1722
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: after the trade deadline, I'll far can this current roster

1723
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: take him? We'll continue that discussion or maybe look around

1724
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:43,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the league a little bit when we

1725
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 1: come back. It is One Bill's Live, presented by Collat

1726
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: of Health, John Murphy and Steve Tasker in the Seneca studio.

1727
01:26:48,760 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back, John Murphy, Steve Tasker.

1728
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: We had a good, good session here in the commercial

1729
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: break right, just we talk about the show and we

1730
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 1: just did and it's good and Steve's okay, it's gonna

1731
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 1: be good. Clinton Porter is gonna join us after the

1732
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: top of the hours. Stick around for that. The Bills

1733
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: aren't the only one who didn't make moves. Nobody really

1734
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: made moves for the trade deadline, right It was very quiet,

1735
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 1: including the New York Jets. Now, the Jets didn't do

1736
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: anything except make waves because of all the leaked reports

1737
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:31,839
Speaker 1: about Levian Bell and about Jamal Adams going to the Cowboys.

1738
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, those were serious trade deadline reports that came

1739
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: out yesterday, and nothing happened, and now they're left with

1740
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: a bit of a mess to clean up when the

1741
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 1: Jets got to work at practice today, that's what the

1742
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: mess is, exactly what their coach, Adam Gas had to

1743
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,679
Speaker 1: deal with. Adam Gase was asked several times he wanted

1744
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: to talk about his opponent, the Dolphins, but instead he

1745
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: was asked several times today about the trade rumors yesterday.

1746
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: Here's what it sounded like. Anything as far as what's

1747
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 1: happened this past past week, anything that we've been dealing

1748
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 1: with is gonna be handled internally, and and really that's

1749
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 1: what that's what we're gonna that's how we're gonna handle things.

1750
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: So if you guys got any questions about Miami. Then

1751
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:24,679
Speaker 1: let's go yesterday. You will not address, I'll talk about

1752
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 1: I'll talk about Miami address, I will talk about Miami.

1753
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: Understand about why an we're gonna talk about Miami. I'll

1754
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: talk about this week's game on to Cincinnati. Basically right

1755
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 1: with his answer, why aren't you talking about Jamal Adams? Um,

1756
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 1: it's a fair question. Um, he doesn't have to answer

1757
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 1: it either. It's fair for him not to answer. But

1758
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 1: he's got issues, including Jamal Adams, who tweeted out now

1759
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 1: that he was kind of stabbed in the back by

1760
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:53,439
Speaker 1: his general manager, claims that he had a conversation with

1761
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 1: his general manager about how he wanted to stay. Jamal

1762
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: Addams tweeted this out yesterday at the end of the week.

1763
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Last week, I said that with the GM and Coach

1764
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: Gays and told them I want to be here in

1765
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 1: New York. I was told yesterday by my agent that

1766
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: the GAM then went behind my back and shopped me

1767
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: around the teams even after I asked him to keep

1768
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: me here. Crazy business. And he reports of me asking

1769
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 1: to be traded from the Jets completely false. Well, you

1770
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 1: can see they're not equipped to handle this kind of

1771
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 1: You can see why you see that why this thing

1772
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: catches fire. Even if the Jets didn't want to trade

1773
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams and a team called up to ask them

1774
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: what the price would be or if they would be

1775
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 1: amenable to it, if word gets out of that conversation,

1776
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 1: the New York media can construe it anyway they want.

1777
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: Particularly there's Jamal Adam. Even Jamal Adams has to deal

1778
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:44,640
Speaker 1: with it. Somebody told him it was being reported that

1779
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: he has to be traded. He didn't say it, and

1780
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Jets didn't say that he wanted to

1781
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 1: be traded, so that came from nowhere. So all of that,

1782
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, this stuff happens, and then you got to

1783
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 1: put the fire out. And Adam Gay says, you know what,

1784
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 1: if I'm not going to even deal with it, if

1785
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:00,280
Speaker 1: you want to talk about Miami, I will. I don't

1786
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 1: know whether it's and the Jets have said, we said

1787
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: this earlier in the show. The Jets said, listen, we

1788
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 1: didn't shop him around. Somebody called us about him. That's

1789
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 1: what they're saying. And of course New York media somehow

1790
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:11,679
Speaker 1: doesn't believe that. And I don't know if I believe

1791
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: who cares? They didn't trade him. They think it's not

1792
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: like they don't think he's a good player. Good grief,

1793
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean. And Adam Gase didn't want to do it.

1794
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 1: He could have just said, listen, we didn't shop him.

1795
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:26,760
Speaker 1: Somebody called us about him, called us to talk to

1796
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 1: him about him, and that's it. We didn't shop him. Now,

1797
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,600
Speaker 1: if that's not the case, why would we talk about it.

1798
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 1: It just gets worse, It just gets worse. Gas is

1799
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 1: not a head coach. Steve I said it when he

1800
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 1: was in Miami. He is a play caller, and whether

1801
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 1: he's a good play caller and how important that is

1802
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: is up for discussion. He was supposed to be a

1803
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,719
Speaker 1: quarterback whisperer. Well he needs to change what he's whispering

1804
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: to Sam Darnald because that's not going well. And he's

1805
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: not a head coach. He doesn't know what his responsibilities are.

1806
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:58,599
Speaker 1: He has to own that a little bit. Yeah, well,

1807
01:30:58,640 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 1: we talked to a lot of all he has to say,

1808
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: we talked to a lot of teams, and teams called

1809
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 1: us about Jamal Adams and we didn't go to anyone's back.

1810
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:07,240
Speaker 1: That's all he has to say. But he shuts it

1811
01:31:07,320 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: down and it makes it look worse, like he's hiding

1812
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 1: something that's bad. Yeah, and this thing too. There's some

1813
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 1: talk about how you know whether he's a quarterback whisper.

1814
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:17,599
Speaker 1: I think he probably is. But the problem is he's

1815
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,560
Speaker 1: not doing that now. Now he's a head coach. And

1816
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's hard to do both. He's a

1817
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 1: pretty good quarterback coach, pretty good offensive play caller, he's

1818
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 1: pretty good, got a good reputation as that, and I've

1819
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 1: spoken with him and he's got a good handle on

1820
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 1: NFL offensive play, no question about it. But a head

1821
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:39,679
Speaker 1: coach of the job. Head coach has got like fifty

1822
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 1: other things that are as important or more important to

1823
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 1: deal with, including acting as the spokesman spokesman, and the

1824
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:50,120
Speaker 1: defensive spokesman, and the special team spokesman, and the organization

1825
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 1: spokesman and the leader of the guys in the room.

1826
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:54,760
Speaker 1: Forget all the spokesman stuff to the media. He's got

1827
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 1: to handle the guys and all that stuff is aside

1828
01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 1: from just being a play caller. Yeah. So yeah, I

1829
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 1: thought that was his problem in Miami, and I kind

1830
01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 1: of still think that's his problem in New York. I

1831
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:11,120
Speaker 1: think the guy's got a skill set, but it's not

1832
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:13,479
Speaker 1: to be a head coach. They got problems in New York.

1833
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: We got a five and two record. I like where

1834
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 1: the Bills are at. Better a break when we returned.

1835
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 1: The Bills play Washington Sunday and former Washington running back

1836
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 1: Clintons we run our quarterback on a third and two.

1837
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 1: Clinton Portis who went to a couple of Pro Bowls.

1838
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 1: That the running backs going to join us. He's part

1839
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 1: of the Washington radio team and he'll be with us

Speaker 1: their best record through eight game since nineteen ninety three,

1853
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 1: twenty six years ago. The weather looks like it's going

1854
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 1: to be cloudy with some showers on Sunday. The high

1855
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 1: forty two. The referees Tony Corrente, Bills and Washington coming

1856
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:32,599
Speaker 1: up here one o'clock on Sunday. Washington pro bow left

1857
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 1: tackle Trent Williams ended his hold out yesterday. The Washington

1858
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 1: team has been given a roster exemption. They held firm

1859
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 1: to their trade demands for Williams. Source has said his

1860
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 1: value on the market was not what many had expected.

1861
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: There's a good chance the team could look to trade

1862
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:48,840
Speaker 1: Williams in the offseason. And Washington still trying to figure

1863
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 1: out who plays quarterback against Buffalo case keenum ermains in

1864
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:55,000
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. That might mean rookie Dwayne Haskins will make

1865
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 1: his first NFL start in Buffalo this coming Sunday. We

1866
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 1: may find out as the week moves along. Patriots have

1867
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 1: released kicker Mike Nugent and signed his replacement, Nick Folk,

1868
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:06,519
Speaker 1: who last kicked in the league with Tampa Bay in

1869
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:09,640
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen is their choice. The Patriots eight no, but

1870
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 1: with the competition level of their schedule rising the potential

1871
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:16,519
Speaker 1: for closer games, the instability a kicker and the failure

1872
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 1: really of Mike Nugent led them to make the change.

1873
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 1: Nugent missed a thirty four yard field goal had a

1874
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 1: twenty nine yard or block in their winner for Cleveland

1875
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 1: last Sunday. Savers practicing today. They're getting sent for back

1876

1887
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 1: after being outside and joining us in the line. Right now.

1888
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:06,639
Speaker 1: I believe he may be in Washington practice as we speak.

1889
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,639
Speaker 1: A nine year NFL veteran played with Denver and Washington.

1890
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 1: Played with Watchington from two thousand and four through two ten.

1891
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 1: He made two Pro Bowl appearances. Now in media, he

1892
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: hosts the postgame show following every Watchington game on the

1893
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 1: Team nine eighty in DC and hosts a podcast twenty

1894
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 1: six Minutes with Clinton Portis. Clinton Portis on the line

1895
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 1: with us. Clinton, thanks for coming on, John Murphy and

1896
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker here in Buffalo. Thank you very much. Hey,

1897
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 1: no problem man, Thanks for having me. How are you all?

1898
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 1: We're doing great, Thanks for coming on. I gotta ask you.

1899
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 1: Since the Bill Callahan took over the Redskins, what is

1900
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 1: the biggest difference you've seen as a close observer of

1901
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:45,160
Speaker 1: the team. What's happened after Callahan's taking over his head coach.

1902
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:50,120
Speaker 1: I think he's actually funding the identity. I think Dner

1903
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 1: is running the ball and playing defense. What's over the

1904
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 1: last three weeks since Calihannians taking over, You've seen that

1905
01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 1: Dave strives to impin into line and making a focus

1906
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 1: and not really throwing the ball up and down the

1907
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:06,360
Speaker 1: field and trying to come out of place all the defense. Clinton,

1908
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 1: is there a chance that Haskins might be the starter

1909
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:10,639
Speaker 1: against Buffalo? What do you know about the quarterback situation.

1910
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure a case. I think

1911
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 1: it's earlier in the week. I'm not sure who the

1912
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:20,719
Speaker 1: starter will be. But you know, just having the guys prepare,

1913
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:24,280
Speaker 1: I think coming to Buffalo and playing a really good defense,

1914
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 1: whoever the quarterback is, they need to know you can't

1915
01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, don't give Buffalo opportunity to have

1916
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 1: a short feel and make them drive Dreins how you feel. So,

1917
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 1: whoever the quarterback is, I think the focus need to

1918
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,599
Speaker 1: be on not giving you all easy testdowns. This week

1919
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Dwayne Haskins. What do you see in

1920
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 1: the young colt and the young quarterback since he's gotten

1921
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 1: a few games under his belt. Now, well, I think

1922
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:49,720
Speaker 1: you said a lot of upside, But the situation with

1923
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 1: Dwayne is every game he's come into, he's come in

1924
01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:56,479
Speaker 1: already down. So you're actually coming in just throwing the

1925
01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 1: ball and trying to make a plate instead of having

1926
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 1: a fair opportunity of saying, hey, it's a zero zero game,

1927
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 1: don't lose it. You know he's coming in trying to

1928
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 1: bring you back, so of course he's taking shides down field.

1929
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 1: So given the Wayne the opportunity to actually start a

1930
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:15,640
Speaker 1: game and really go out and run an offense and

1931
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 1: be fair. You know, every game he's coming to hasn't

1932
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 1: really been a fast situation for him. And I think

1933
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 1: it's a lot, you know. I think it's a lot

1934
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 1: to learn because we knew Dwayne had a short tenure

1935
01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. It was a good short ten you

1936
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:31,120
Speaker 1: but it was short. You know, it's a learning curves.

1937
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 1: Some things he has to improve on. I think he's

1938
01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:37,799
Speaker 1: taking that opportunity every week to just get better. Clinton.

1939
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: There's a narrative out there that maybe Haskins has not

1940
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:44,599
Speaker 1: fully immersed himself in Washington's offensive playbook? Is that true? False?

1941
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 1: Is or anything? Do that? What do you what do

1942
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 1: you think? I wouldn't say that's true. I think Haskeys

1943
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 1: is a guy who has a lot of confidence in

1944
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 1: his ability. I think he's in the building attempting to

1945
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:58,600
Speaker 1: grow and get better, and that's what you have to

1946
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:01,559
Speaker 1: actively do. I see, you guys have a young quarterback

1947
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,080
Speaker 1: who got an opportunity. He's actually running with it. Whereas

1948
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 1: Haskins hasn't gotten his opportunity. The pressure hasn't been there.

1949
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:11,160
Speaker 1: You know, he was third on the depth chart. Let's

1950
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,800
Speaker 1: remember this Cope cart was supposed to be the starter's

1951
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 1: case Keenom and then Hasket, So therefore, you know, it's

1952
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:20,600
Speaker 1: a different mentality. And when you get that opportunity to

1953
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: get pressure placed on you, no one knew your guy

1954
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 1: would respond the way that he did. He got an opportunity,

1955
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 1: he's running with it. So once Haskins to get his

1956
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: opportunity where the pressure is owing, maybe we'll see what's

1957
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:34,200
Speaker 1: the case. What's the feeling about case Keenum if he

1958
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 1: does get out of the concussion protocol in midweek and

1959
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,639
Speaker 1: gets a chance to practice and comes back and starts

1960
01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 1: this game, what has what was he like going into

1961
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:45,360
Speaker 1: or before he got injured. I know they were struggling

1962
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 1: to win games. How has case gainam performed coming up

1963
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:56,280
Speaker 1: to this point? I think we like lost man. Lots

1964
01:38:56,320 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 1: of mes adjusting his phone. We'll try to reconnect with

1965
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 1: Clinton porter as he is, Uh, what's he's not the skype?

1966
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: What do you call it? FaceTime? Yeah, it might be

1967
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: Facetimetime's on FaceTime hitting right there on the sideline. You

1968
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 1: turn your camera around, bro. Yeah, yeah, it's it's like

1969
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:18,479
Speaker 1: most teams that struggle. And I asked Clinton the question

1970
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:22,559
Speaker 1: about the narrative. I don't know if Clinton back yet.

1971
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 1: He is back, Clinton, thanks for rejoining us to go ahead.

1972
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:26,920
Speaker 1: See what was your question again? Your last question is

1973
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna ask him what does the vibe about Case Kingdom

1974
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 1: and what he brings the table. I know he's been

1975
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 1: hurt of late, but how is he playing before he

1976
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:36,799
Speaker 1: got hurt? And how's the team respond to his leadership?

1977
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: Is he a kind of guy that can take him forward? Well?

1978
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 1: I think we all know Cases, a veteran quotation, has

1979
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 1: had plenty of opportunities. You actually had Minnesota a game

1980
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: away from the Super Bowl a couple of years ago.

1981
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:51,479
Speaker 1: And how quickly we forget, you know, as sports cash,

1982
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 1: as as sports fans, we forget it's always have you

1983
01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:56,880
Speaker 1: done for me lately? And when you look at case situation,

1984
01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: he hasn't had an opportunity to play with weapons you

1985
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:02,640
Speaker 1: and missing. You're starting off attacking in Trent Williams the

1986
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:07,679
Speaker 1: entire season. You're starting tight end Jordan Read the entire season.

1987
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 1: Vernon Davis is an injury you're starting running back. Guys

1988
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 1: went down in the first game, so no one really

1989
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 1: gives you the opportunity to say he hasn't had a

1990
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:21,760
Speaker 1: full roster, he hasn't played with the guys every week.

1991
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 1: It's someone new. It's making an adjustment to play with

1992
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: this guy and learning who this guy is. So for Case,

1993
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:30,640
Speaker 1: I think for him the situation that he ended up in,

1994
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate, is every week you're learning team on

1995
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:36,200
Speaker 1: new So it's not like you just get the opportunity

1996
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 1: to go out and say, hey, these are the guys

1997
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:40,680
Speaker 1: I played with it as week. You're learning someone new

1998
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: every week, and then you go through the coaching change.

1999
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,679
Speaker 1: So I think if you look at Case, the first

2000
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,679
Speaker 1: three weeks played good football, and then all of a sudden,

2001
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bars coming in town and kind of decimated us.

2002
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 1: We weren't ready for it. Then Case had the injury

2003
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:57,320
Speaker 1: and it's been battling back every since. But we all

2004
01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 1: know Cases capable of carrying a team, I mean, playing

2005
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:04,720
Speaker 1: at a high level. It's just actually getting everything under

2006
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 1: one roof onto one football field. On Sunday, Clinton, as

2007
01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:10,600
Speaker 1: you said that the starting running back is out, the

2008
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: backup is pretty good thirty four year old Adrian Peterson.

2009
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: I just want here the Hall of Fame. Can you

2010
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:16,960
Speaker 1: talk about him? How he looks? We keep hearing he

2011
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 1: he looks almost as good as he always has. What

2012
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 1: have you seen? Well? I think AP is an outstanding shake.

2013
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 1: It's like having Frankie g up there with you. Guys,

2014
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,679
Speaker 1: Frank Gore and Adrian Peterson. Those guys they won't quit,

2015
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 1: they don't get old. This is one of those situations

2016
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:36,840
Speaker 1: where you find two outstanding running backs, two guys future

2017
01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers, that's playing at such a high caliber,

2018
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 1: and you know they don't get the same opportunity that

2019
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 1: they've gotten over the years, but they're still playing at

2020
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 1: a high level. You get some of the moves and

2021
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:50,160
Speaker 1: some of the runs that AP has had this season.

2022
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:53,080
Speaker 1: It gives you flashes in Minnesota. You know the same

2023
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 1: for Frankie g when he go out and had a

2024
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 1: hundred yards against New England, it was like, man, is

2025
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:00,639
Speaker 1: this young frank from sam France And is this young

2026
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 1: frank from the University of Miami. You know, you have

2027
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 1: those games either. It's just really about those guys getting

2028
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: the opportunity we can week out well. Adrian Peterson's playing well,

2029
01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:14,759
Speaker 1: and in the last three weeks, the Washington Redskin defense

2030
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:16,560
Speaker 1: has kind of stepped up. They've held their opponents to

2031
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:19,720
Speaker 1: under twenty points all three of the last three games. Um,

2032
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 1: what has been the turnaround the elixir for them? What

2033
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 1: has fixed their was on defense? I think simplifying, you know, communication,

2034
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, you simplify things, you communicate. The D line,

2035
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:35,040
Speaker 1: the D line that we expected at the beginning of

2036
01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 1: the season, as it actually saw our making players. You

2037
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 1: saw a new you in game five or six Sex

2038
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: against Brady the following week five or six in Miami,

2039
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 1: So the D line started to come alive and put

2040
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:49,439
Speaker 1: pressure on quarterbacks, which allows everyone in your back end

2041
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 1: to be quickly to be fashioned to make plays. So

2042
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:55,719
Speaker 1: they got to continue to jail. You got young guys.

2043
01:42:55,840 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 1: You're missing some guys in that aspect. You know pain,

2044
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Alan has missed a couple of games. You

2045
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 1: had I and Night's kind of banged up. Carrigan, you know,

2046
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: Sweat been a young guy learning where to be and

2047
01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 1: how to play. You know, you just you had that

2048
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:17,760
Speaker 1: situation constantly. Been someone knew Dunbar was out, Josh and

2049
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: Norman has been out. You know Landon Collins has been

2050
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 1: the main say Montay Nicholson, who's been playing great, has

2051
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 1: missed some games. So is this constantly trying to fill

2052
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 1: in and you're looking to the guy next to you

2053
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 1: and it is not the same guy. It's like, uh uh,

2054
01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, just having a communication amongst those guys. Hey, Clinton,

2055
01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:39,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier your affinity for Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore.

2056
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 1: And the Bills have a guy who you were you

2057
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 1: played with the teammate didn't watch it in Lorenzo Alexander.

2058
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 1: What do you remember about that young Lorenzo Alexander with Washington?

2059
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,240
Speaker 1: And can you believe he's still playing fifteen years? In listening,

2060
01:43:52,400 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 1: I just heard you all say Lorenzo missed practice because

2061
01:43:56,720 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 1: he got arrested. That's almost fell out or rest day

2062
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:04,160
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander. I remember Lorenzo being a young guy man

2063
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,720
Speaker 1: trying to find his way. He actually played some full back,

2064
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 1: he played some offensive line, he played some defense, he

2065
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 1: played some linebacker. He was just one of those weapons,

2066
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: a guy who did everything looking for an opportunity, and

2067
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,799
Speaker 1: once he finally got it, once he got to Buffalo

2068
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,600
Speaker 1: and you all found his lane and gave him an

2069
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:23,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to showcase his talent, he took advantage of it.

2070
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:26,800
Speaker 1: And that's the Lorenzo Alexander I know, a young guy

2071
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:29,440
Speaker 1: who was on to come up and looking for an opportunity,

2072
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 1: and once he finally got his opportunity, he never looked back.

2073
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 1: So that's his zough. I know, relentless God if hearing

2074
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 1: a man is going to give you all he has,

2075
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 1: so seeing that and being able to be happy for

2076
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:44,680
Speaker 1: Lorenzo and his family more he's a family man and

2077
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,599
Speaker 1: know everything he put in and where he started those

2078
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 1: days that he kind of questioned himself, and you know,

2079
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,000
Speaker 1: ken he played this game at this level. To look

2080
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 1: back ten years later, you see Zoe still on the field,

2081
01:44:56,360 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 1: still doing big things and getting veteran rest days out

2082
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:04,320
Speaker 1: of all things. You gotta be kidding. I guess I

2083
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:06,599
Speaker 1: figure you'd appreciate that. Hey, when you do the post

2084
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: game show down there in DC, do you dress up

2085
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:11,679
Speaker 1: the way you did when you played for media events?

2086
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 1: You remember some of that, right? Do you still do that? No? Man,

2087
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:18,479
Speaker 1: I'm strictly I got to come and work like you

2088
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:21,720
Speaker 1: all prepared and already. It can't be about the fun

2089
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:24,920
Speaker 1: and jokes of it so coming in prepared, being able

2090
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,600
Speaker 1: to give you good football conversation and not let that

2091
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:31,360
Speaker 1: be distracted with my costume. You know, on the field

2092
01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 1: with my player, I knew my play was going to

2093
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 1: do with soften for me. But now in this this business,

2094
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:39,800
Speaker 1: in this lane, you have to just you have to

2095
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:42,639
Speaker 1: be ready. It's not it's not all fun and games

2096
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:45,639
Speaker 1: and our jokes. I still bring my personality the radio

2097
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:48,880
Speaker 1: and TV, but it's not all fun and games and jokes.

2098
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:52,000
Speaker 1: It's golden opportunity to sitting and talk sports and show

2099
01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm actually intellectual and really love love sports.

2100
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:58,360
Speaker 1: I can talk all sports. And I heard you say

2129
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:20,040
Speaker 1: great to have him out there with us. Um. I

2130
01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:22,759
Speaker 1: think everybody in the team knows what kind of journey

2131
01:47:22,760 --> 01:47:24,960
Speaker 1: he's been on the last year or so. I'm dealing

2132
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 1: with all the injuries that he's had, and you know,

2133
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:30,680
Speaker 1: that first catch, everybody's super excited for him, honestly. Um,

2134
01:47:31,040 --> 01:47:32,760
Speaker 1: you know the team was very happy to see him

2135
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:34,559
Speaker 1: go out there and you know, make some plays for us.

2136
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 1: And you know, we're just trying to get as many

2137
01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 1: reps as we can in practice rouss on air. Um.

2138
01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 1: You know, all the repetition that we can is going

2139
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:44,160
Speaker 1: to help. And you know, the trust with him and

2140
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:46,920
Speaker 1: I I've got supreme trust in him and supreme faith

2141
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 1: that he's gonna come down with the balls that I

2142
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:50,680
Speaker 1: throw him. And UM, we're gonna keep on working on

2143
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 1: timing and things like that. What do you think he

2144
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 1: can add to your offensive personal For sure? You know

2145
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:59,519
Speaker 1: he's a very talented guy. M he can do things

2146
01:47:59,560 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 1: with the ball, his hands, he's big, he can move,

2147
01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:04,560
Speaker 1: he can catch. UM, So we got fine ways to

2148
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 1: get him the balls. From a player's perspective, what does

2149
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 1: the team standing pad at the trade deadline? What message

2150
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:13,800
Speaker 1: does that send to you as a player. I mean,

2151
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:15,680
Speaker 1: we're just coming in here trying to do our job,

2152
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,200
Speaker 1: and you know, I trust and love the guys on

2153
01:48:18,280 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 1: this team, and um, you know, our front office put

2154
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:23,040
Speaker 1: together this team for a reason and brought in guys

2155
01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: that we believe in. And that just all shows it,

2156
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 1: all that right there, that you know, we believe in

2157
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:29,320
Speaker 1: the guys that we got and we're going to continue

2158
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:31,479
Speaker 1: to work hard and continue to trust the process and

2159
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:33,599
Speaker 1: come out here and every day and you know, put

2160
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: forth our best effort isn't gonna win you a lot

2161
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 1: of curds in this league. And we talk about this

2162
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 1: every week. But in light of the Philadelphia game now,

2163
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 1: and where are you as an offense, Maybee on that

2164
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:49,400
Speaker 1: growth curve? I mean I think we're you know, we're

2165
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: obviously not where we want to be. You know, we're

2166
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 1: moving the ball well, Um, we just gotta finish drives

2167
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:56,759
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we got a limit the turnovers

2168
01:48:57,400 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 1: myself included in that. Got a limit the negative plays

2169
01:48:59,880 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 1: and penalties and things like that, and you know we're

2170
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 1: those things are all solvable. Um, you know, it's a

2171
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:07,080
Speaker 1: tweak here there, and we got to you know, put

2172
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:09,840
Speaker 1: our our minds together and uh, you know, put forth

2173
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 1: our best effort, you know, on this coming Sunday, And

2174
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:14,240
Speaker 1: we know that you know, we know that as an offense,

2175
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: that our defense is gonna be able to, you know,

2176
01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:18,640
Speaker 1: contain everybody, and we're gonna have to put points up

2177
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:20,400
Speaker 1: on the board. So that's our that's our goal. Um,

2178
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 1: we know that we're gonna put up, like I said,

2179
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:25,600
Speaker 1: our our our best effort. This coming Sunday. Likes to

2180
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:29,439
Speaker 1: make the defense see you as a threat as a

2181
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 1: weapon running the block. I mean, do you feel like

2182
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:35,560
Speaker 1: do you like you feel like the re the readaption

2183
01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:39,400
Speaker 1: game is is a good weapon to present the defense

2184
01:49:39,479 --> 01:49:42,320
Speaker 1: And do you feel like you've been making good decisions?

2185
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I think it just puts another element

2186
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 1: in their mind that they got to think of instead

2187
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:48,280
Speaker 1: of crashing those ends, have to kind of slow play it.

2188
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 1: And um, you know, if we can get one step

2189
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:52,600
Speaker 1: on the guy and um get an extra one or

2190
01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 1: two yards from and I think it's all that that

2191
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:56,679
Speaker 1: much worth it. And you know, I trust coach Table

2192
01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:59,360
Speaker 1: with you know, everything that I have, and UM understand

2193
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:01,400
Speaker 1: what he's trying to do as a play caller. And um,

2194
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:03,360
Speaker 1: I said, I got one hundred percent faith in him

2195
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:04,720
Speaker 1: what he calls and we gotta got their next cut.

2196
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:07,800
Speaker 1: Like there was seemed like there was an RPO or

2197
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:10,479
Speaker 1: two where maybe because they were a man, they had

2198
01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:13,439
Speaker 1: it covered and you saw the opportunity to go against

2199
01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:15,639
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Yeah right, yeah, and that's they're playing man

2200
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 1: and their backs are turned right correct. Yeah, and then

2201
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,280
Speaker 1: we're just trying to trying to take what they give

2202
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:22,280
Speaker 1: us there. Um, you know, not every play is going

2203
01:50:22,320 --> 01:50:24,240
Speaker 1: to be successful and not everybody's gonna turn out how

2204
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:26,040
Speaker 1: we want to be. And I guess that's why you

2205
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 1: played the game there that kind of combined the penalties

2206
01:50:31,080 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: on offense plus the turnovers on offense for play, the

2207
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:37,599
Speaker 1: percentage and builds are near the bottom of the league,

2208
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:39,760
Speaker 1: so they give you a little bit of hope though

2209
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 1: that it's literally you guys killing drives. It's not necessarily

2210
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 1: what the other teams doing. And if you're cleaning things

2211
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,680
Speaker 1: up and get it on yeah absolutely. Um, you know

2212
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:50,559
Speaker 1: that all starts with me, you know, and I gotta

2213
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 1: be doing a better job. But then I think the

2214
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks we've been doing a better job

2215
01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 1: protecting the football. Um, but it's still something that's it's

2216
01:50:57,800 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 1: in my head and I'm not trying to put the

2217
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 1: ball on harms away and you know, we clean up

2218
01:51:01,520 --> 01:51:03,280
Speaker 1: that and we clean up some of these turnovers and

2219
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:05,080
Speaker 1: we continue to move the ball like we're doing. Um,

2220
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,519
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to find success and you know,

2221
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:09,560
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna keep working hard every day. You

2222
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,280
Speaker 1: mentioned how Tyler has a certain element to get offense.

2223
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 1: What is Devin Singletary has this offense? I mean, he's

2224
01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 1: got some juice and you know he's not he's not

2225
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 1: a burner. Um, he's not gonna you know, outrun everybody. Um,

2226
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:24,800
Speaker 1: but his shiftiness, Um, he's tough, he's he's hard to

2227
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:29,280
Speaker 1: bring down. UM motors his nickname for a reason. You know. Um,

2228
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 1: you talked to our guys on defense too. He's just

2229
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: slippery and uh m, you know, as many times we

2230
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 1: can get him the ball, that's what we're gonna try

2231
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 1: to do. And you know, he's definitely a threat when

2232
01:51:38,120 --> 01:51:40,840
Speaker 1: he's got it in his hands to Devin. I think

2233
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 1: in the second half that looks like it might have

2234
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 1: had a chance, but Fletcher Cox didn't buy it. Didn't

2235
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 1: buy it. You know, I mean kind of what is

2236
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 1: the Devin is dangerous? On those kind of players? What

2237
01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:54,800
Speaker 1: is the key to uh fooling all eleven of them?

2238
01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:58,080
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, Um, I mean that's I guess why

2239
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,640
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox is known as being one of the best

2240
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:03,960
Speaker 1: defenders in the NFL. UM smart, savvy veteran. You know,

2241
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:05,560
Speaker 1: he sniffed it out and made a good play on it.

2242
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:08,800
Speaker 1: And UM, you know, we just got to do better job,

2243
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:12,200
Speaker 1: myself and everybody included. Uh, just when we've got our opportunity,

2244
01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 1: we got to take advantage of it. If you know

2245
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 1: who you play after the Redskins, I honestly don't. I

2246
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:24,280
Speaker 1: just wanted to strut of games coming up. It's a

2247
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 1: great chance for the girls to really stepped up from

2248
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:30,360
Speaker 1: the way he's based on records. Do you how do

2249
01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:32,640
Speaker 1: you how do you keep from taking a one game?

2250
01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 1: How do you really do take one game at a

2251
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 1: time like you guys? I mean, I hope my answer

2252
01:52:37,320 --> 01:52:39,479
Speaker 1: kind of. I really don't know who we play after

2253
01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 1: this week. Um, but we're fall focused on the Redskins

2254
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:45,080
Speaker 1: and what we gotta do to you know, go into

2255
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: our stadium and try to come out with a win here.

2256
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:48,519
Speaker 1: Um And like I said, well, you know, we haven't

2257
01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 1: been perfect last couple of weeks, and the promising thing

2258
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:53,880
Speaker 1: is we still have played our best football and we

2259
01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:55,560
Speaker 1: know we've got the guys to go do it and

2260
01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 1: the guys to go execute, and um, you know, we've

2261
01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 1: got faith in each other. We love each other, so

2262
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:03,400
Speaker 1: we're just gonna keep playing for each other. We talked

2263
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:05,560
Speaker 1: about the downfield passing again, and I don't want to

2264
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 1: necessarily revisit that, but one of the trade deadline discussions

2265
01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:11,920
Speaker 1: had to do with the need for an additional receiver there.

2266
01:53:13,080 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 1: Do you feel as if your receivers are getting open

2267
01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 1: down the field and it's just a matter for whatever reason,

2268
01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:20,479
Speaker 1: you guys haven't been able to hit that yet. In

2269
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:23,760
Speaker 1: other words, weapons you have, Yeah, and I haven't been

2270
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:25,719
Speaker 1: doing a good good enough job with you know, allowing

2271
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:28,519
Speaker 1: our players to go make some plays, and um, that's

2272
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:30,120
Speaker 1: going to be an added focus this week. I just,

2273
01:53:30,439 --> 01:53:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, it was a little late to this because

2274
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:34,360
Speaker 1: I was working on that and uh, you know, it's

2275
01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 1: every day we try to keep finding things to get

2276
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:39,479
Speaker 1: better at and myself includes so I was, um, you know,

2277
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:41,120
Speaker 1: obviously trying to work on that part of my game.

2278
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:43,880
Speaker 1: And UM, like I said, the promising thing is we

2279
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:46,679
Speaker 1: haven't played our best football. We know that we've had shots,

2280
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 1: we haven't hit them. Um, but you know, we keep

2281
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:51,439
Speaker 1: working the way we are. You know, those things are turning.

2282
01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:55,920
Speaker 1: How much of the offensive inconsistencies, especial with execution do

2283
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: you attribute to still having so many new pieces on

2284
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 1: that side. Yeah, I wouldn't say it's um, it's that

2285
01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:06,280
Speaker 1: at all. You know, it's an excuse that we want

2286
01:54:06,360 --> 01:54:08,680
Speaker 1: as an offense. And you know we've been here long

2287
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:10,960
Speaker 1: enough to understand what we want and what we're asking

2288
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:15,720
Speaker 1: from our offense. And um, you know we as we know,

2289
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:18,639
Speaker 1: we haven't played perfect yet, and you know every game

2290
01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:20,920
Speaker 1: we're going to find things and ways to try to

2291
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:24,120
Speaker 1: improve on. And um, you know this, this last game

2292
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:26,280
Speaker 1: was a good one to see for us, and it's

2293
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna make us hungry, it's gonna make us better. Josh,

2294
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:30,400
Speaker 1: was a stretch of games where you guys had a

2295
01:54:30,479 --> 01:54:33,520
Speaker 1: few play calling issues, delayed games. It's cleaned up less

2296
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:35,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. What do you attribute that to, you know,

2297
01:54:35,600 --> 01:54:37,680
Speaker 1: going back to having those things go a lot more smoothly.

2298
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:39,080
Speaker 1: At coach table, he's been doing a good job of

2299
01:54:39,080 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 1: getting into my headset, um, you know, just allowing me

2300
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 1: to get it out into the into the huddle as

2301
01:54:45,360 --> 01:54:47,680
Speaker 1: fast as I can. And we're making our substitutions, faster,

2302
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:50,240
Speaker 1: guys are hustling in and out of the huddle, and uh,

2303
01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:54,360
Speaker 1: we've made a definitely added effort for that as well.

2304
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:56,480
Speaker 1: We offially there have been times when you guys have

2305
01:54:56,600 --> 01:55:00,120
Speaker 1: gone to Temple and have a lot of success. What

2306
01:55:00,360 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 1: dictates that is it just kind of a change of

2307
01:55:02,640 --> 01:55:04,760
Speaker 1: pace and trying to show the defense something different And

2308
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:08,240
Speaker 1: how hard is it not to just go, hey, let's

2309
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:10,560
Speaker 1: just do it every time. Yeah, I definitely think it's

2310
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:13,640
Speaker 1: a flow of the game type of deal. Um definitely

2311
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:16,520
Speaker 1: gives us, gives us some sparks and juice. There's something

2312
01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:18,400
Speaker 1: that you probably can't do the whole game though, And

2313
01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, guys get tired and you can't call all

2314
01:55:22,280 --> 01:55:25,120
Speaker 1: your best plays from just no huddle. Um, you know,

2315
01:55:25,160 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 1: we've got a nice little package that we've got and

2316
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 1: when the when the time calls for it, were gonna

2317
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:32,000
Speaker 1: call it and go out there and execute it. And um,

2318
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 1: you know I trust our guys to go do that.

2319
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:37,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen talking with the media today after practice. The

2320
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:39,960
Speaker 1: best thing about it, Steve and our callers know it.

2321
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:42,280
Speaker 1: A lot of callers saying Josh gotta get better, Jessica

2322
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 1: gotta get better. You know who knows Josh has to

2323
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 1: get better? Josh, Josh. He said it several times in

2324
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:51,760
Speaker 1: that seven minute media session today. He knows, he knows

2325
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 1: that there are things that gotta get better. On offense,

2326
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:56,600
Speaker 1: he knows. I just wish he'd stopped fumbling on a

2327
01:55:56,680 --> 01:55:58,720
Speaker 1: third and two quarterbacks sweep. So we're gonna have to

2328
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:01,040
Speaker 1: keep stop answering question. It's about it. Yeah, he was

2329
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:04,040
Speaker 1: asked about that too. Yeah, yeah, all right, we're gonna

2330
01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:05,600
Speaker 1: take a break. We got more to come. We'll take

2331
01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:07,040
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls. What do you think? No

2332
01:56:07,440 --> 01:56:09,720
Speaker 1: deal for the bills at the trade deadline yesterday They

2333
01:56:09,760 --> 01:56:11,440
Speaker 1: weren't the only ones, but no deal for the bill.

2334
01:56:11,520 --> 01:56:13,960
Speaker 1: So how do you like this roster? Now? What can

2335
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:15,800
Speaker 1: they do with this roster? How far can they go?

2336
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:18,560
Speaker 1: That's the Twitter poll question. We will check that when

2337
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 1: we come back. We'll take more of your phone calls

2338
01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:22,520
Speaker 1: on that issue or whatever you'd like to talk about.

2339
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:24,840
Speaker 1: Come on back, One Goes Live, presented by Collata Health,

2340
01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:27,440
Speaker 1: Live from the Seneca Studio in Archard Park. This is

2341
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:41,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome Back, One goes Live, John Murphy,

2342
01:56:41,840 --> 01:56:44,160

2343
01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 1: about thirty more minutes ago. I want to hear from

2344
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 1: me today. The trade deadline was it ended about twenty

2345
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:52,120
Speaker 1: hours ago, late yesterday, four pm, and the bill didn't

2346
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:54,760
Speaker 1: make a move. So this is the bill's roster. What

2347
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:56,520
Speaker 1: do you think? How far can they go with this group?

2348
01:56:56,560 --> 01:56:58,920
Speaker 1: That's our Twitter poll today. We got about nine hundred

2349
01:56:58,960 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 1: twenty votes in so far on the Twitter. On the

2350
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 1: little Twitter poll, sixty percent of you say with this

2351
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,680
Speaker 1: roster as presently constituted, they can make the playoffs. Sixty

2352
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent of you believe they can win playoff

2353
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:15,000
Speaker 1: games plural. Ten percent say this group won't make the playoffs,

2354
01:57:15,040 --> 01:57:17,120
Speaker 1: what are you kidding? And three percent think they can

2355
01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:19,120
Speaker 1: win a championship. Let's hear from you. Eight oh three

2356
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:22,480
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

2357
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: two five fifty Sending a tweet, we can read it

2358
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:26,720
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheets. Still time for that. We can

01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: hear you on the phone. You can just vote in

2360
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:30,520
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. So the Bills get back to work

2361
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:34,040
Speaker 1: today and how far can they go? The interesting thing is, Steve,

2362
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 1: they get to work, and that's what they did today.

2363
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:39,080
Speaker 1: Their first practice back. Sean McDermott was asked about it today,

2364
01:57:39,200 --> 01:57:41,040
Speaker 1: how do you go about fixing all of the many

2365
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:43,440
Speaker 1: issues that cropped up in the loss of Philadelphia. Here's

2366
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 1: what the Bills had coach said today. Reteach and whether

2367
01:57:48,880 --> 01:57:51,960
Speaker 1: it's run, defense or whatever it is as it relates

2368
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:56,960
Speaker 1: to performance, is reteach the fundamentals. That's what I've been

2369
01:57:57,040 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 1: around for my career and that's what we That's what

2370
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 1: we'll do, and we'll continue to do that to reteach

2371
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 1: the fundamentals because if we're not getting the fundamentals, then

2372
01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:09,400
Speaker 1: we've got to go back and reteach the fundamentals and

2373
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:12,920
Speaker 1: make sure it's clear what we expect with fundamentals and

2374
01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:17,080
Speaker 1: technique and then execution. So that's yeah, we go back.

2375
01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:18,640
Speaker 1: That's what we are. We're teachers. We go back and

2376
01:58:18,720 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 1: reteach to make sure there's understanding of what we're looking

2377
01:58:21,360 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 1: for and what we need. May not be an exciting

2378
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:25,440
Speaker 1: answer for Bills fans if you're looking for him to

2379
01:58:25,480 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 1: say we need to fire the offensive coordinator, we need

2380
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:30,240
Speaker 1: to stop running on fourth and two at our own

2381
01:58:30,320 --> 01:58:33,200
Speaker 1: twenty four, he didn't say that. Reteaching, and Chris Brown

2382
01:58:33,600 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 1: made note of it when we had Chris on from

2383
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 1: the sidelines at the early portion of practice, how they

2384
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:42,480
Speaker 1: were working on what amounts to tackling drills, these fundamentals.

2385
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 1: There's no there's no hitting obviously, but tacking drills fundamentals.

2386
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:49,560
Speaker 1: They did not tackle well against the Eagles, and they

2387
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:51,840
Speaker 1: got back to work on that today. That's how teams

2388
01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:53,720
Speaker 1: handled a loss, and they've only had two so far

2389
01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 1: this year. I think that's how good teams. And they

2390
01:58:55,440 --> 01:58:59,040
Speaker 1: also had I think they ran also alluded the fact

2391
01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:02,240
Speaker 1: that had an official out you know, not today, not today,

2392
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:06,320
Speaker 1: but in the past they've had officials out there getting

2393
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:08,640
Speaker 1: getting after him for lining up off side, and how

2394
01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:10,720
Speaker 1: frustrating was it for Bills fans of the stadium last

2395
01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 1: week or listening onto your call Murph on the radio

2396
01:59:14,120 --> 01:59:16,680
Speaker 1: lining up off side, or false starts in the red zone,

2397
01:59:16,720 --> 01:59:18,960
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Half the penalties they've gotten have been

2398
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 1: pre snap. They can't do that, and that's that is

2399
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:24,080
Speaker 1: as fundamental as it gets, lining up and going with

2400
01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:26,520
Speaker 1: the ball of snap. So there's a lot of I

2401
01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:32,080
Speaker 1: think the problems with the Bills offensively and even as

2402
01:59:32,120 --> 01:59:35,440
Speaker 1: a whole have been really frustrating this year because they

2403
01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:37,880
Speaker 1: really seem fixable, you know, what I mean. I mean,

2404
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:41,680
Speaker 1: they really seem like, how easy could it be? And

2405
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, order to get I get it. Once in

2406
01:59:43,840 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: a while you get a holding call and that kind

2407
01:59:45,440 --> 01:59:47,920
Speaker 1: of thing. When the officials see something there thinks it's

2408
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:50,440
Speaker 1: worse than what we see on a replay. All that,

2409
01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:53,280
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff happens. But the stuff that happens

2410
01:59:53,320 --> 01:59:58,080
Speaker 1: pre snap, Yeah, that's I think that's particularly frustrating. Plus,

2411
01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I was just frustrated anybody when you

2412
02:00:01,720 --> 02:00:05,160
Speaker 1: cough the ball up on a play where you know

2413
02:00:05,200 --> 02:00:06,600
Speaker 1: you should. You didn't have to. You didn't have to

2414
02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:08,480
Speaker 1: cough the ball up, you know, you know what I mean.

2415
02:00:08,520 --> 02:00:11,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't even a risky play at the unexpected turnovers.

2416
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:15,680
Speaker 1: Those are crushers and most of them are on josh,

2417
02:00:16,200 --> 02:00:18,720
Speaker 1: you know. So it's I think they should continue to

2418
02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:20,880
Speaker 1: work on that. They continue to get back to the

2419
02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: fundamentals and we'll see sooner or later. You'd think it's

2420
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to take root. And because if it doesn't, yes, yes,

2421
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:33,160
Speaker 1: the heads roll. Hey, let's go some NFL true or False.

2422
02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:35,280
Speaker 1: We haven't done that well. NFL True or False brought

2423
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:38,520
Speaker 1: to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's artists and cheese,

2424
02:00:38,520 --> 02:00:41,600
Speaker 1: A couple of concepts, a couple of issues. Steve and

2425
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 1: I will let you know what we think of a

2426
02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:46,760
Speaker 1: number one. Road teams are the early story in the

2427
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:50,440
Speaker 1: NFL this year. The early winners through Week eight last Sunday,

2428
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:53,160
Speaker 1: road teams have an overall record in the NFL of

2429
02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:56,600
Speaker 1: sixty three wins fifty seven losses. One tie the most

2430
02:00:56,720 --> 02:00:59,240
Speaker 1: road victories through eight weeks in NFL history. The bills

2431
02:00:59,240 --> 02:01:01,240
Speaker 1: are three, you know, on the road. I don't know

2432
02:01:01,280 --> 02:01:04,360
Speaker 1: what the reason would be, but the home field advantage

2433
02:01:04,440 --> 02:01:05,760
Speaker 1: is not what it used to be, at least through

2434
02:01:05,800 --> 02:01:09,080
Speaker 1: almost half a season. Here, Steve, road teams early NFL winners.

2435
02:01:09,600 --> 02:01:11,640
Speaker 1: I gotta say, true, the numbers are there, it's supportive,

2436
02:01:11,680 --> 02:01:13,520
Speaker 1: but I don't know why. That's the most road victories

2437
02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:16,640
Speaker 1: in NFL history through eight weeks of the season. That's

2438
02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:20,320
Speaker 1: and I get it, there's some there's a confluence of events.

2439
02:01:20,560 --> 02:01:24,560
Speaker 1: What are they? Well, I mean, I don't know. You

2440
02:01:24,640 --> 02:01:27,839
Speaker 1: look at a team like like San Diego for instance,

2441
02:01:28,120 --> 02:01:30,960
Speaker 1: that's not a home field advantage, all right, that's one.

2442
02:01:31,320 --> 02:01:34,160
Speaker 1: That's one team. But yeah, I mean you're you're is

2443
02:01:34,200 --> 02:01:36,120
Speaker 1: that one? Is that the entire reason. Now I can't

2444
02:01:36,120 --> 02:01:38,160
Speaker 1: be the entire reason that all these teams are winning

2445
02:01:38,200 --> 02:01:41,960
Speaker 1: the Bills. Um Now they had they went in played

2446
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:44,280
Speaker 1: two games in the same stadium back to back, that's

2447
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 1: kind of helps, But you know those are two and

2448
02:01:47,160 --> 02:01:50,520
Speaker 1: two at home, three road. You might be onto something

2449
02:01:50,600 --> 02:01:53,120
Speaker 1: with the Chargers and the atmosphere there is. I move

2450
02:01:53,200 --> 02:01:55,920
Speaker 1: around the league in my current position and you see

2451
02:01:56,240 --> 02:02:00,320
Speaker 1: home fields like Atlanta for example, or like even Alas

2452
02:02:00,360 --> 02:02:05,400
Speaker 1: for example, beautiful football palaces. Minnesota qualifies as this, but

2453
02:02:05,600 --> 02:02:09,080
Speaker 1: not real home field advantages, you know, not like, oh,

2454
02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:11,680
Speaker 1: it's terrible to go in there. No, it's the comforts

2455
02:02:11,720 --> 02:02:14,640
Speaker 1: of home in some of these places, huge TV screens

2456
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:17,480
Speaker 1: and a nice walk out to the field and beautiful

2457
02:02:17,520 --> 02:02:21,000
Speaker 1: field conditions. I wonder if and the home field advantage

2458
02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:22,960
Speaker 1: has been an established part of not just the NFL

2459
02:02:23,040 --> 02:02:26,360
Speaker 1: but almost every sport for for decades, and maybe that's

2460
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:28,000
Speaker 1: going away in the NFL because so many of these

2461
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:30,200
Speaker 1: stadiums are kind of the same thing. And also you've

2462
02:02:30,280 --> 02:02:35,320
Speaker 1: got the Miami Dolphins they're winless, the Cincinnati Bengals are winless,

2463
02:02:36,200 --> 02:02:39,640
Speaker 1: and the Washington Redskins have won one game. So you've

2464
02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:42,120
Speaker 1: got to also got three teams that can't help at

2465
02:02:42,160 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 1: all in the win come. You'd think even the bad

2466
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:47,200
Speaker 1: teams can are playing better at home. But you know, Washington,

2467
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:50,320
Speaker 1: that's not good in Washington. Miami, we've seen that. That's

2468
02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:54,320
Speaker 1: not a good place. Cincinnati, they're just they're changing their quarterback.

2469
02:02:54,360 --> 02:02:56,480
Speaker 1: There's just not a good team. So you've got some

2470
02:02:56,640 --> 02:02:59,800
Speaker 1: really really bad teams, some teams with really really bad

2471
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:03,400
Speaker 1: situations at their home, like like like it is in

2472
02:03:03,720 --> 02:03:06,680
Speaker 1: San Diego, I don't know. And that all adds up

2473
02:03:06,720 --> 02:03:08,800
Speaker 1: in LA And that all adds up, I guess, to

2474
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:13,560
Speaker 1: the worst eight weeks of in NFL history for home teams.

2475
02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:16,040
Speaker 1: We both think that's true. Road teams the early winners

2476
02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:18,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL season, all right, true or false? Number two,

2477
02:03:18,480 --> 02:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Adam Gase's guru status is in question through eight weeks.

2478
02:03:22,240 --> 02:03:25,400
Speaker 1: An article in NFL dot Com about the Jets about

2479
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:28,240
Speaker 1: the weekly game plan and preparations spun by Adam Gase,

2480
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:33,839
Speaker 1: a so called offensive minded quarterback whisperer with Sam Darnold,

2481
02:03:34,200 --> 02:03:36,360
Speaker 1: and this is what NFL dot Com rights, Donald is

2482
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:39,080
Speaker 1: suffering behind one of the league's worst lines. Gas was

2483
02:03:39,240 --> 02:03:42,800
Speaker 1: dangerously outdone by Bill Belichick. Two weeks ago and failed

2484
02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:46,240
Speaker 1: to draw plans to prevent Jacksonville from sacking Donald eight

2485
02:03:46,320 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 1: times on Sunday the coaching staff. The Jets coaching staff

2486
02:03:50,440 --> 02:03:52,880
Speaker 1: has the stink of a one and done disaster. According

2487
02:03:52,920 --> 02:03:55,920
Speaker 1: to NFL dot Com, Adam gays guru status in question

2488
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:59,040
Speaker 1: through eight weeks. Absolutely true. That was in question before

2489
02:03:59,080 --> 02:04:01,600
Speaker 1: the Jets took a snap this year. In my mind, yes,

2490
02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:05,880
Speaker 1: he's not a guru. He's no quarterback guru. No. True.

2491
02:04:06,200 --> 02:04:09,280
Speaker 1: We had this conversation little earlier in the show. I

2492
02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:12,560
Speaker 1: think it's more a question of whether his status as

2493
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:15,000
Speaker 1: a head coaching quality head coach is more in danger

2494
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:17,480
Speaker 1: than a quarterback group. Maybe he is a good quarterback coach,

2495
02:04:18,280 --> 02:04:21,160
Speaker 1: but that's not his job. His job now is to

2496
02:04:21,240 --> 02:04:23,520
Speaker 1: be a head coach and that supersedes everything as a

2497
02:04:23,640 --> 02:04:26,640
Speaker 1: quarterback coach. I'm gonna say he's gonna keep working in

2498
02:04:26,640 --> 02:04:28,520
Speaker 1: the NFL if he wants to. He'll be okay as

2499
02:04:28,560 --> 02:04:30,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback guy and all that. But as a head coach,

2500
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:33,080
Speaker 1: yeah no, he's not gonna. He's not going anywhere. So

2501
02:04:33,400 --> 02:04:36,240
Speaker 1: as a guru, i'd say no. But as a head coach, yeah, absolutely.

2502
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 1: NFL True or false? Part three Lamar Jackson will break

2503
02:04:41,200 --> 02:04:44,120
Speaker 1: the NFL record for quarterback rushing yard yards? Is he?

2504
02:04:44,280 --> 02:04:46,640
Speaker 1: In fact, this is what was written on the ringer

2505
02:04:46,680 --> 02:04:49,640
Speaker 1: dot com. The greatest rushing quarterback of all time, averaging

2506
02:04:49,720 --> 02:04:52,320
Speaker 1: eighty two rushing yards per game, ninth most in the

2507
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:55,160
Speaker 1: league for any position, on a pace to smash Michael

2508
02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:58,120
Speaker 1: Vick's quarterback rushing record for two thousand and six by

2509
02:04:58,160 --> 02:05:03,040
Speaker 1: over two hundred and five two hundred yards. He's been amazing.

2510
02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:06,200
Speaker 1: He had just six rushing yards in the opener against Miami,

2511
02:05:06,280 --> 02:05:09,280
Speaker 1: and he's been on fire since then. So Lamar Jackson

2512
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:11,720
Speaker 1: will break the NFL record for quarterback rushing yards. He's

2513
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:13,440
Speaker 1: on pace to do it. I'll say he'll do it.

2514
02:05:13,520 --> 02:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I say true. I think they're doing a good job

2515
02:05:15,040 --> 02:05:16,800
Speaker 1: of figuring out how to use him down there as well.

2516
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:18,880
Speaker 1: I say true, as well, I think he's gonna do it.

2517
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:21,160
Speaker 1: I think he may be. Of course, it's early in

2518
02:05:21,240 --> 02:05:23,640
Speaker 1: his careers, but yeah, I think he's got a chance

2519
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:25,920
Speaker 1: to be the greatest running quarterback of all time. Certainly,

2520
02:05:25,960 --> 02:05:27,960
Speaker 1: if he breaks Michael Vick's record, that's a step in

2521
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:30,200
Speaker 1: the right direction. Maybe that'll give him the title anyway,

2522
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:33,160
Speaker 1: But I think the guy's got a real future. I mean,

2523
02:05:33,360 --> 02:05:35,440
Speaker 1: like a long term future. I don't think this guy's

2524
02:05:35,480 --> 02:05:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a three or four year quarterback. I think

2525
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:41,240
Speaker 1: he's got what do you say, five plus you He's

2526
02:05:41,240 --> 02:05:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna get to a second contract with the Ravens. They're

2527
02:05:43,320 --> 02:05:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna pay him a lot of money. He's gonna be

2528
02:05:45,280 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 1: that kind of quarterback for the foreseeable future. And yeah,

2529
02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:54,120
Speaker 1: certainly injuries are the concern with him. But here's the

2530
02:05:54,160 --> 02:05:55,920
Speaker 1: reason I think he's gonna really hang out. The guy

2531
02:05:56,000 --> 02:05:58,280
Speaker 1: can throw it too. Yeah, he is a good passer

2532
02:05:58,320 --> 02:06:00,200
Speaker 1: of the football, much better in my opinion, and then

2533
02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:03,360
Speaker 1: Mike Vick Wash. He's much more versatile thrower than Mike

2534
02:06:03,440 --> 02:06:07,000
Speaker 1: Vick was. So I think, Yeah, I think Lamar Jackson's

2535
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 1: going to be around for a long time, and I

2536
02:06:08,280 --> 02:06:11,000
Speaker 1: think he indeed will be the greatest running quarterback this

2537
02:06:11,080 --> 02:06:13,720
Speaker 1: league's ever seen. Kind Of like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson

2538
02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:17,640
Speaker 1: has increased his complete your percentage, completing sixty three percent

2539
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:20,240
Speaker 1: of his passes. Last year, he was at fifty two percent.

2540
02:06:20,360 --> 02:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson eleven touchdowns, five interceptions

2541
02:06:24,200 --> 02:06:26,400
Speaker 1: so far this year. He's thrown it well too. There

2542
02:06:26,440 --> 02:06:28,320
Speaker 1: you go, NFL two or false, brought to you by

2543
02:06:28,440 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Yancy's fancy New York startists and cheese. Time for a

2544
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:34,240
Speaker 1: couple more calls here, let's get to Greg and Rochester. Hello, Greak, welcome,

2545
02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:37,760
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey, how are you doing? Okay?

2546
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:48,080
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is wit they won five games, the

2547
02:06:48,240 --> 02:06:55,000
Speaker 1: Bills have them five games. In that teams only won

2548
02:06:55,160 --> 02:07:00,440
Speaker 1: six games between all of them. Yeah, I haven't played anybody. Yeah,

2549
02:07:00,600 --> 02:07:02,880
Speaker 1: so neither the Patriots, by the way, but more and

2550
02:07:02,960 --> 02:07:06,880
Speaker 1: more than six game betweens. That's a frequent complaint about

2551
02:07:06,880 --> 02:07:08,720
Speaker 1: the Bills in their schedule. They have no control over

2552
02:07:08,840 --> 02:07:11,640
Speaker 1: that going in. But you're right, they haven't played and

2553
02:07:11,680 --> 02:07:15,440
Speaker 1: they've got the fourth easiest schedule remaining. Go ahead, Yeah,

2554
02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:20,080
Speaker 1: they've won more than that. They've they won. The Philadelphia

2555
02:07:20,080 --> 02:07:25,440
Speaker 1: Eagles have won four games. The Patriots have won eight games.

2556
02:07:25,560 --> 02:07:29,600
Speaker 1: There's twelve between two of the teams. So yeah, I

2557
02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:32,320
Speaker 1: get I see what you're saying. You're right, but get

2558
02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:35,600
Speaker 1: your numbers right anyway, So Scott and James sound hello, Scott,

2559
02:07:35,680 --> 02:07:39,760
Speaker 1: you're on the air. I hope the Bills run against

2560
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,760
Speaker 1: the Redskins. And when I went to the Bills game

2561
02:07:42,840 --> 02:07:47,800
Speaker 1: last week, right, Jim Kelly, oh cool? Ye? All right,

2562
02:07:48,120 --> 02:07:50,840
Speaker 1: thanks Scott Constations. All right, got a breakcare. We're coming

2563
02:07:50,880 --> 02:07:53,120
Speaker 1: back one Bills Live presented by Klatta Health. We're coming

2564
02:07:53,160 --> 02:07:55,839
Speaker 1: here from the Seneca Studio in Archard Park on Buffalo

2565
02:07:55,960 --> 02:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, So what have we learned from

2566
02:08:20,200 --> 02:08:23,360
Speaker 1: today's show? It is brought to you by Skyworks, the

2567
02:08:23,400 --> 02:08:26,400
Speaker 1: official construction rental company of the Buffalo Bills. What have

2568
02:08:26,440 --> 02:08:27,800
Speaker 1: we learned? I think we had a good show, Steven,

2569
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:30,360
Speaker 1: I learned a lot. I know you were. You learned

2570
02:08:30,400 --> 02:08:32,360
Speaker 1: a lot from one of the callers that you weren't

2571
02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 1: happy about bugging me. It's still bugging you. I gotta

2572
02:08:35,520 --> 02:08:39,680
Speaker 1: admit it. A play a good play call goes bad.

2573
02:08:39,800 --> 02:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Now it's a bad play call, and you know you

2574
02:08:41,480 --> 02:08:44,160
Speaker 1: don't have any ammunition to defend it because it went

2575
02:08:44,200 --> 02:08:46,040
Speaker 1: to somebody because it went bad. Noah, he fumbled it.

2576
02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:48,280
Speaker 1: It was a bad play call. Well, okay, I gotta

2577
02:08:48,320 --> 02:08:50,320
Speaker 1: get over the play calls, folks. Field Yates joined us

2578
02:08:50,520 --> 02:08:54,040
Speaker 1: today from ESPN, and he gave us his take on

2579
02:08:54,200 --> 02:08:56,880
Speaker 1: the lack of any big deals. When the NFL trade

2580
02:08:56,920 --> 02:09:01,560
Speaker 1: deadline passed yesterday, had four years, Field Yates, yesterday was

2581
02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:04,840
Speaker 1: a seller's market. It was not a buyer's market. And

2582
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:09,400
Speaker 1: I think what we learned yesterday, maybe even more than

2583
02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:14,840
Speaker 1: anything else, is that there's a certain sensitivity that a

2584
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:18,760
Speaker 1: GM has to operate with or be mindful of as

2585
02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:21,200
Speaker 1: it pertains to his players, because it feels like the

2586
02:09:21,280 --> 02:09:26,560
Speaker 1: biggest storyline is not the deals that were or weren't made,

2587
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,560
Speaker 1: but the deals that we're discussed. The Jets are being

2588
02:09:29,680 --> 02:09:32,720
Speaker 1: pepper with questions today because so many of their star

2589
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:36,680
Speaker 1: players were on the market. Really fascinating day from that standpoint.

2590
02:09:37,800 --> 02:09:39,720
Speaker 1: There you go, field h. We had Clinton Portas on

2591
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:42,480
Speaker 1: earlier this hour, former NFL running back, long time watching

2592
02:09:42,520 --> 02:09:45,280
Speaker 1: and running back now part of the watching in broadcast

2593
02:09:45,360 --> 02:09:48,640
Speaker 1: on the radio, and we asked them Case Keenum or

2594
02:09:48,720 --> 02:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins, who's going to start a quarterback this Sunday

2595
02:09:50,840 --> 02:09:54,880
Speaker 1: against Buffalo. Here's what he said. I'm not sure. I'm

2596
02:09:54,920 --> 02:09:57,480
Speaker 1: not sure of Case. I think he's arguing the read.

2597
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who just started wild deed. But you know,

2598
02:10:01,440 --> 02:10:03,800
Speaker 1: just having the guys prepare, I think coming to Buffalo

2599
02:10:04,680 --> 02:10:07,600
Speaker 1: plan at a really good defense. Wherever the quarterback is,

2600
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:09,920
Speaker 1: they need to know you can't turn the ball over,

2601
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:12,880
Speaker 1: don't get buffalo opportunity to have a short field and

2602
02:10:13,080 --> 02:10:15,480
Speaker 1: make them drive you. It's how you do. So whoever

2603
02:10:15,520 --> 02:10:17,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback year is, I think their focus need to

2604
02:10:17,640 --> 02:10:20,480
Speaker 1: be on not giving you all easy testdowns this week.

2605
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:23,000
Speaker 1: This doesn't matter, Steve. I guess it matters. You know

2606
02:10:23,040 --> 02:10:25,680
Speaker 1: what Haskins has been so bad. I mean when I

2607
02:10:25,720 --> 02:10:29,040
Speaker 1: say he's attempted twenty two passes, he's from four interceptions

2608
02:10:29,080 --> 02:10:31,200
Speaker 1: and they've all been pretty bad. So they'd love to

2609
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:33,240
Speaker 1: get case keenom back. They'd love to have case keen

2610
02:10:33,320 --> 02:10:35,160
Speaker 1: and ready to play. But he's in the protocol, so

2611
02:10:35,240 --> 02:10:37,040
Speaker 1: they're not talking about it much. Yeah he may, but

2612
02:10:37,280 --> 02:10:40,680
Speaker 1: we've seen how protocols vanish kind of quick. Yeah, guy

2613
02:10:40,720 --> 02:10:43,280
Speaker 1: comes out of it. So and plus, you can take

2614
02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:44,960
Speaker 1: reps when you're almost out of when you can go

2615
02:10:45,080 --> 02:10:48,200
Speaker 1: full go. The full workout that you can take to

2616
02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:50,200
Speaker 1: test whether you're out of the protocols can be a

2617
02:10:50,280 --> 02:10:53,280
Speaker 1: full practice which gets you prepared to play. So when

2618
02:10:53,280 --> 02:10:54,760
Speaker 1: you do get out of the protocol in the next

2619
02:10:54,800 --> 02:10:57,400
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, you can play. And we saw Josh

2620
02:10:57,440 --> 02:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Allen do that when he had his concussion protocol. So

2621
02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:04,320
Speaker 1: we'll see. It'll be interesting to see who plays. But

2622
02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:07,120
Speaker 1: I would bet that the Bills are planning on having

2623
02:11:07,160 --> 02:11:10,720
Speaker 1: the bait the Washington Redskins at their best. All right, hey,

2624
02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:13,320
Speaker 1: this is interesting. One of the games this weekend coming up,

2625
02:11:13,400 --> 02:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Houston at Jacksonville at Wembley Citium, the final game of

2626
02:11:16,120 --> 02:11:19,400
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen London Series. Jacksonville, of course gets used

2627
02:11:19,400 --> 02:11:22,240
Speaker 1: to playing in London. They've done it a lot. Doug

2628
02:11:22,320 --> 02:11:24,720
Speaker 1: Marron was asked today about how he gets ready to

2629
02:11:24,920 --> 02:11:28,680
Speaker 1: play London games. In his responses Classic Doug Marrone, He

2630
02:11:28,840 --> 02:11:33,960
Speaker 1: was asked by a reporter today, Aaron Wilson, how do

2631
02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:37,120
Speaker 1: you get ready to play handling London games? You want

2632
02:11:37,160 --> 02:11:38,720
Speaker 1: to read it? See, I do not want to read

2633
02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't either. I don't want to read it. Maron said,

2634
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad I've done it before. I've got the secret.

2635
02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't tell anyone, but I think it's awful. Awful

2636
02:11:47,600 --> 02:11:49,960
Speaker 1: for people who have not done it before. You feel bad.

2637
02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:53,800
Speaker 1: Maron said, you want to throw up, you have diarrhea.

2638
02:11:55,440 --> 02:11:58,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad things that go on. I

2639
02:11:58,640 --> 02:12:02,360
Speaker 1: mean right to say too much information would be an insult.

2640
02:12:02,520 --> 02:12:06,280
Speaker 1: That is way over the top. Okay, you're trying to

2641
02:12:06,360 --> 02:12:08,240
Speaker 1: make a point in his own in his own way.

2642
02:12:08,280 --> 02:12:11,080
Speaker 1: That's trouble traveling overseas, does Doug, I guess? I guess

2643
02:12:11,120 --> 02:12:13,160
Speaker 1: so a flight tell you I don't want to go

2644
02:12:13,200 --> 02:12:17,040
Speaker 1: on vacation with them anywhere. That's I don't want them

2645
02:12:17,040 --> 02:12:19,240
Speaker 1: in the state right next to mine on the the

2646
02:12:19,320 --> 02:12:21,800
Speaker 1: ocean line. That's a whole nother is you think London's

2647
02:12:21,800 --> 02:12:24,080
Speaker 1: going on over their coach? Right? You think the London

2648
02:12:24,160 --> 02:12:25,960
Speaker 1: games are good or bad idea? I think they're a

2649
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:30,320
Speaker 1: bad idea, But they're not going away for reasons because

2650
02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:32,840
Speaker 1: of the travel issues, because of the logistics they're they're

2651
02:12:32,880 --> 02:12:35,200
Speaker 1: not a good idea. They're not good for teams. Jacksonville

2652
02:12:35,200 --> 02:12:37,360
Speaker 1: does it because they couldn't sell tickets in Jacksonville. By

2653
02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:39,120
Speaker 1: the way, the Bills are probably due for a London

2654
02:12:39,200 --> 02:12:42,080
Speaker 1: game next year all the following year. Right, we've been

2655
02:12:42,720 --> 02:12:44,840
Speaker 1: been Did you go when the Bills playing in ninety

2656
02:12:44,960 --> 02:12:47,760
Speaker 1: nineties in the nineties, right, have you been raising American? No?

2657
02:12:47,960 --> 02:12:50,720
Speaker 1: Not cool? No, it's not cool. Why not? First of all,

2658
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:52,080
Speaker 1: because if you go with us, you gotta work, and

2659
02:12:52,120 --> 02:12:54,000

2660
02:12:54,040 --> 02:12:56,680
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number one. Secondly, it's just, you know,

2661
02:12:56,760 --> 02:13:00,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's an artificial atmosphere, right, and God bless

2662
02:13:00,680 --> 02:13:02,640
Speaker 1: those fans in the UK, but they don't really have

2663
02:13:02,680 --> 02:13:04,840
Speaker 1: an allegiance to one team or another. It's one of

2664
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:06,320
Speaker 1: those games like get used to be in Toronto where

2665
02:13:06,320 --> 02:13:09,720
Speaker 1: you'd go to the game and there'd be thirty two

2666
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:12,440
Speaker 1: different teams. Jersey, It's exactly what it's right. It's a

2667
02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:16,640
Speaker 1: it's an NFL game, not a Bills or a whatever game. Right, Yeah,
