1
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: It's a big day, a home opener for the Bills

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee type. Where else would you rather be

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: than right here, right now? Or pass got by Reggie

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: Gilliam notes one tackle still on his feet at the

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: tennis after five painted in the end down touchdown Buffalo

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: touchdown Reggie Gilliam. He fought off two tackles and put

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: his wing into the end zone. The built are on

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: the board, fakes the hand off. Josh rolling to his left,

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: looks back through the other way. There was right in

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: his car the Endlo touchdown, Buffalo step on Diggs. There's

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: how Field looking for Digs inside the five died for

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: execution and it is cat touchdown Buffalo, Josh having the

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: step on Dicks touchdown Bills a forty six yard completion.

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Then the mom on the snap to Josh, gonna throw

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: it the digs bottles mix it at get of the

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: end Jos touchdowns Buffalo step five gigs a hat trick.

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: His third touchdown for the Bills, and they are rolling now.

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: Cama Hill takes looks guns it down Phil Pickop. He

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: intercepted at the forty five yard line, picked off by

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: Bant Mulano. Painted to the end zone. He is in

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: touchdown Buffalo. Bat Mulano, touchdown, Buffalo. They are rolling him now.

22
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: Bat Mlano stepped in front of that pass and had

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: clear saving to the end zone. Sadown was so complex,

24
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: I see sculping. A remarkable win for the Bills to

25
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: open the home portion of the season of forty one

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: to seven victory for the Buffalo Bills. That is the

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Toshiba game rewind Toshiba, the official copier company of the

28
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and what a night it was. The home

29
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: opener did not disappoint. It may have even exceeded expectations,

30
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: as the Bills hand the Titans a forty one to

31
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: seven drubbing on national television to improve to two and

32
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: oz on the season. And I don't know about you, Steve,

33
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: but at ten seven, when the Bills are heading down

34
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: the field and finish with what wound up being a

35
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: busted play where Josh comes all the way back to

36
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: his right and just arms the throw to Stefon Diggs

37
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: for his first touchdown of the evening to make it

38
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: seventeen seven, I just said, goodnight, Irene, this thing is over.

39
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: I felt the game was over. Then it wasn't even

40
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: halftime yet. I saw this last year in the playoff

41
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: game against New England. The Bills go down and they

42
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: score a touchdown in their opening drive and they get

43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: match or the other team like New England, and in

44
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: this case, Tennessee comes back. Tennessee matches them with their

45
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: own touchdown. But and I get it to the Bills

46
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: were three of three on third down in their first

47
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: touchdown drive and all that. So it wasn't, you know,

48
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: just smooth sailing the whole way. But Tennessee it seemed

49
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: to me like they were just really fighting hard to

50
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: kind of hang in there on their drive. You know,

51
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: their drive did seem more precarious. Then the Bills come down,

52
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: go down, boom, get the touch get the field goal,

53
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: then they get the punt back, you know, they get

54
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: a punt back, and then it just didn't seem like

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee had the versatility in its offense to hang in

56
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: there with Buffalo. They kept going back to the run game.

57
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't working. The play action didn't work because of it,

58
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: their receivers were not good enough to get open. Tannehill

59
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: is getting whacked every so often. Yeah, I just you're right.

60
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: It just seemed like Tennessee was just it was taking

61
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: more effort for them just to hang in than it

62
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: was for the Bills. Yeah. Yeah, and then they had

63
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: a couple of penalties that killed it. Was just I

64
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: didn't I guess. I guess I was harboring a little

65
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: too much respect for what the Titans have been the

66
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: last three years. And look, I have free agency files

67
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: in the offseason on every team. I know what they

68
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: lost and I know what they added, And to me,

69
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: it was a net loss, and I didn't feel I

70
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: felt like the Titans were going to take a step

71
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: back to the rest of the AFC pack. After being

72
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: the number one seed last year and being right at

73
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: the top of the playoff seedings the last three years,

74
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to take a step back

75
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: this year. But I didn't want to jump to any

76
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: conclusions after one game against the Giants last week that

77
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: they lost twenty one twenty. But as I was getting

78
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: ready for this game, I was looking at how much

79
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: they were depending on youth on this roster, how many

80
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: rookies they had in the starting lineup, and then one

81
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: play on special teams they lose one of the three

82
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: running backs they had up for the game. On the

83
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: opening kickoff, they lose their left tackle on the first

84
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: snap from offense, and at that point I was like,

85
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: oh boy, Like this is a Titans team. They can't

86
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: afford to have those kinds of losses. The Bills are

87
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: going into this game without two of their top four

88
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. They can sweat that because their rosters that deep.

89
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: The Titans can't. And it did get worse for the

90
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: Bills as it went on. Mitch Morris goes out for

91
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: three series with a right elbow injury, goes into the

92
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: locker room for x rays. You know, they had a

93
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: slew of other injuries after that, which we'll get into

94
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: in a little bit. But the Bills just keep on hugging.

95
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: And the Titans, I mean, they can't play. They got

96
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: they have no answers at corner for Stefan Diggs. They

97
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: tried everybody they had, but Christian Fulton was already declared

98
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: out of this game. Their backup running back who might

99
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: be one of their most athletic offensive players in Dontrell

100
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: Hilliard out for this game. He had two touchdowns for

101
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: that team last week in the receiving game. So on

102
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: a night where they had nobody to go to outside

103
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: in the passing game, and we're facing a pass rush

104
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: that was still bringing it, even though maybe the sack

105
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: totals didn't mimic what we saw last week. And I'll

106
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: say this, Titans just weren't in the same class. They

107
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: weren't in the same weight class. Yeah, I'll say this

108
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: to the tandem of Caleb Farley and Roger McCreary did

109
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: not play as well as Kayer Elam and Christian Benford.

110
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: It was so bad. They subbed him out. They tried

111
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: Trey Avery in there, they tried the Jackson kid and nobody. Yeah,

112
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: nobody had an answer. And of course too that the

113
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Titan corners were going against the Bills receivers. The Bills

114
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: were going against the Titans receivers, and the Titans receivers

115
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: aren't in the same, like you say, weight class as

116
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: the Bills receivers, even without Cape Davis. Again, that Jake

117
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: Kumer over there and he got he ran right back.

118
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: He's beating the first round pick. And Caleb Farley from

119
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: last Jarley was a hype. In fact, you and I

120
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: were banning about the fact that Bills made draft Caleb

121
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: Farley because he's got elite's physical skills and Jake Kumerou

122
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: worked him. So, yeah, things were bad and worse than

123
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee than we thought. It took a minute because Josh

124
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: was Josh got sacked early, took some shots. They couldn't

125
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: get their run game going. All of that first drive

126
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a struggle, and they got

127
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: some breaks. They were patient, though. Yeah, they've been very

128
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: patient these first couple of games in the early going,

129
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, not trying to bite off more than they

130
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: can choose, not trying to force anything. And when one

131
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: of the things too was that Josh was really patient

132
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: because every time Steph Diggs goes out there and McCrary

133
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: lines up off of him, Josh just took it right.

134
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they did it got I was like, how long,

135
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: how are you gonna do How are you gonna do that?

136
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Why are you gonna keep doing that? Because they just

137
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: kept taking it. Well, it's a free sixty yards and

138
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: it was more than six yards. It was more than

139
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: six two six was when they it's all they got.

140
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: That was the short ones. They Steph turn it up

141
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: and they were getting eight nine nine yards. He was

142
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: getting run after catch. He was getting some run after catch.

143
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: It just was crazy. The throw from Josh to Steph

144
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: for the touchdown, I think it was the first touchdown

145
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: where he rolls to his left, throws back to his

146
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: right in the in the end zone. Nobody else on

147
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: the planet makes that throw, the long one to digs

148
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: down the forty six yards of guys. A lot of

149
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: between the numbers, but yeah, it's like a post route.

150
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: Nobody can stand, you know, kind of going backwards to

151
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: their left, throw it back to the right and get

152
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: it into the end zone with that velocity. And Josh

153
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: did it. He did twice on that on that drive

154
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: that ended in the first touchdown. He did it down

155
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the field to Steph two where he

156
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: was on his back foot, spread out facing the line

157
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: of scrimmage with both feet and this side arming at

158
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: twenty five yards on his That was just a muscle throw. Yeah,

159
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things that Josh did last night.

160
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: Nobody else can do. The first third down conversion on

161
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: the third and nine when he runs it and hurdles

162
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: a guy like you know a lot rolled himself over that. Yeah,

163
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: and he had to do that in order to get

164
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: the first because he jumped, the guy came up a

165
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: little too early. Then he anticipated he jumped over, but

166
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: couldn't go down after the jump until after he held

167
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: himself up to get the first the extra yard for

168
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: the first. You know, so they're about. There was a

169
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: handful of plays in the game that only Josh Allen

170
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: could make, and you know, he ended up with a

171
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: forty one to seven win. Atmosphere was electric. My wife

172
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: was in the stand. She said it was unbelievable. I

173
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: know a lot of people felt the same way. I

174
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: think there was especially after last week's game. I think

175
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: the anticipation went up even another level and for the

176
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: Bills to not only meet it, but maybe even exceed it. Yeah,

177
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: and I that's just you probably noticed it too. I've

178
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: been to hundreds of games, and this game was a

179
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: little different from just from where I was watching up

180
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: behind Murph and Eric Wood Radio booth, and you just

181
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: look out across at the visitor's side of the field

182
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you what, it was not just full.

183
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: It was packed, and it was like ten minutes before

184
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: it was nobody nobody showed up late. It was packed, Yeah,

185
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: anthem for everything. It was unbelievable. I mean there was

186
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: I you couldn't find. Usually, you know, there's a patch here.

187
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: The corners aren't for whatever, even on sellouts, and you

188
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: know the people it fills up, you know, midway through

189
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: the first quarter, it was packed. And then after the anthem.

190
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: We had Jim Kelly in here in studio on One

191
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Bill's Live last week. He told us, you know, he's

192
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: the legend of the game. He's going to be doing

193
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: the whole hype up thing right before kickoff. But there

194
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a surprise with Jim Roll

195
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: the tape janey Wood name Kiffy Day gif And for

196
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: the greatest fans in football, I like to say to

197
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: you for the game what I said to our players

198
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: before every game game, Well else would you'd rather be unbelievable?

199
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: Ninety seven year old Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy

200
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: struts out there and does his stuff, the man who

201
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: coined the phrase here in Buffalo. People were losing their minds,

202
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: Like he was standing down there for like ten minutes.

203
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: Now I knew he was gonna be here, so it

204
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: was he was spotted, you know, but you know he's

205
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: he's he's kind of huddled behind a golf cart. He's

206
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: standing there for ten minutes waiting to do his thing. Yeah,

207
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't trying to hide, but everything going. So Jim

208
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: finishes his thing and then they flash Marv up on

209
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: the screen. People lost their minds. They lost their minds.

210
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: It was he didn't would say anything, yet They're like,

211
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: oh man, he's gonna be the one doing it. He's

212
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: gonna say right here, right now, all he cow. Oh yeah.

213
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: It dawned on a ton of people in the same time.

214
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: It was great. It was It was a real highlight

215
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: of and it it got everything to an absolute fever pitch.

216
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: The best part is Marv's ninety seven and his voice

217
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: still has pop you know what I mean. Sounds like him.

218
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: He's always got that. He's always had that deep, bellowing voice.

219
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes when you know, you get you

220
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: talked to ninety seven year olds, their voice sounds very shallow,

221
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying? Marks still got punch Man,

222
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: and it sounds, you know what I mean, for all

223
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: of us here in Buffalo who grew up in those

224
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: diet in times of me who was playing for him,

225
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: his voice sounds exactly the same. Well, that's what I'm saying.

226
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: That doesn't always happen when you're ninety seven, you know

227
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: what I mean. And you know the crowd, I don't

228
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: even you know. The crowd just absolutely right in it

229
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: with him. It was just awesome. It was just an

230
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: awesome moment, an awesome moment. A lot of stuff going

231
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: on the pre game that Bruce had a nice I

232
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: think Bruce had a home run the whole Choose pre

233
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: game ceremony. Bruce was right in the middle of the

234
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: field with the families and survivors of the shooting and

235
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: had a few words to say, and it was great.

236
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: He was poignant and serious and handled it like a

237
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: real pro. And that was going on again. Also, I

238
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: get a tweet from Brownie guess what else was showing

239
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: up at the game? The Blimp Show here. Blimp was here.

240
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: So I finish the pregame show with Maddie Bill's field

241
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,040

243
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: over to the stadium to get there before kickoff. I

244
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: look up and there's a ton of clouds passing by,

245
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: and like I looked up just for a second, I

246
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: was like, heck, is that up there? Because it was

247
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: kind of hidden behind the clouds, and then all of

248
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: a sudden it comes out from behind a cloud. I

249
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: was like, it's the dang blimp. I was like, I

250
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: gotta limb. I gotta take a photo of this. We're

Speaker 1: a photo of it, and I tweeted it out and

253
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: I added you on there, and I was like, well,

254
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: I gotta do this. This is just too easy. Oh yeah,

255
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, we thought it was dead and buried,

Speaker 1: but no, but no, um so yeah, yeah and everything

257

Speaker 1: like for minute the officials were involved in the game,

269
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: a little bit too much heavy flag, Yeah, a lot

270
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: of flags. And I'll say this toos on both sides.

271
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Um the opening and and of course too the thing

272
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: you started out with the injuries started out on the

273
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: opening kickoff running back from the Tennessee. I happened to

274
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: be watching. I was watching medic Kevitch and what happened

275
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: there because it looked clean. It was a clean and

276
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: a couple of the Tennessee players looked like what happened,

277
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: but it was a clean hit. But what happens is

278
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: these guys drop back and they're all everybody's all jacked up.

279
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: So these two guys are gonna they're gonna like bang

280
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: just you know, because the ball's out of the end zone.

281
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: They're just gonna bang once, you know, just to get

282
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: it out of there. Let's go, you know. OK. So

283
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: they bang. Medickevich comes up, takes him on as a blocker,

284
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: gives him one punch, you know, just a you know,

285
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: like a hit. Uh. I don't mean a punch punch,

286
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: but you know the head and shoulders and he hit

287
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,359
Speaker 1: They both hit each other just like for fun. Almost Yeah,

288
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't fun. Kids got kids, leg got tangled up,

289
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: got at the wrong angle, down he was danger. Yes,

290
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: it was all I don't want to say it was

291
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: non contact, but it was a high hit up around

292
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: his head and shoulders where they both did no idea.

293
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: I never saw and I haven't looked at the all

294
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: twenty two yet where you can see it. And but

295
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: it was nothing. It was a it was a nothing collision.

296
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: And you know, the kid goes down and and he

297
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Metakevich was like looking at him like what do you

298
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: what happened? Yeah? You know? And uh so that and

299
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: that was the beginning of it. Then you end up

300
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: with Taylor. First play from screen, Taylor l Mitch Morris

301
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: goes down and I thought it was a knee got

302
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: he rolled up on, but it wasn't. It was his elbow.

303
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: He got caught between guys that you know, like we

304
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: saw Jordan Poyer doing practice of the Bill or the

305
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: preseason game for the Bills. Uh, you know, and then

306
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: of course Dane Jackson gets friendly fired, Tremaine Edmonds coming

307
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: over to clean up on the tackle. Um Matt Milano

308
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: got a stinger. Micah Hyde got a stinger on a

309
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde got a stinger on like an innocuous tackle,

310
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: run tackle. But guy's legs that they're moving so fast,

311
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: it's a lot of velocity. Get a knee in the

312
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: neck or something, the side of the helmet. So the

313
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: officials and the injuries were probably the downer part of

314
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: the night, if there, If there, it ris indeed one

315
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: when you're talking about injuries. But it looks like Dane

316
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: Jackson's up and walking around. It's just a matter of time. Yeah,

317
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: we got the good news earlier today. The team put

318
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: out an official statement where it was pretty much said

319
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: that Dane Jackson has avoided a major injury. No damage

320
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: to his neck or spinal cord of any No injury

321
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: to his neck or spinal cord. Sure, I'm sure he is,

322
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: because next you know, you're not used to seeing a

323
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: neck bend that way. Um, so when I talk about overextended,

324
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: my word, UM, I'm just I'm I'm happy. You know,

325
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure the team is too, because you know he's

326
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: down for a while. Um, but you saw right away

327
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: that his arms and legs are moving. I'm sure his

328
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: neck doesn't feel too great right after that hit, right

329
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: and then just out of an abundance of caution and rightly. So,

330
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime you're dealing with a neck injury, you

331
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: know you don't want to mess with that stuff. They

332
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: got him on the backboard, lifted into the ambulance, got

333
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: all the tests you know, left, right and center, and

334
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: fortunately it's good news. He walked out of the hospital

335
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: and is at home resting. So, I mean, I don't

336
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: know if Dane watches this show, but if he is well,

337
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: wishes to you man, heal up, get healthy soon. We'll

338
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: hear from coach McDermott later this afternoon, maybe we get

339
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: some more details on what his condition is like and

340
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: whether he is I mean, I can't believe I'm saying this,

341
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: but who knows. Maybe it's a day to day injury,

342
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: not a week to week injury. It's crazy to say

343
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: that after all that went into making sure he was

344
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: all right. But we'll wait and see from coach McDermott

345
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: what he has to say about that and what his

346
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: prognosis is going forward in terms of availability to the team.

347
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: We heard Jordan Poyer, who addressed the media after the

348
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: game and he said. I texted Micah he said he

349
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: was all right. And I texted Dane and he said

350
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: he was all right. And that's hours after the game.

351
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, all right, right, things are

352
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: looking up. They I'll say this too the lead. It's

353
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: a different atmosphere than we've ever seen in the NFL,

354
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: and I think it's a better atmosphere because when that

355
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing happens, they're like, wait, just hold up,

356
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: and they they backboard him, bring out the ambulance and

357
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: they take him off. Very precautionary because we always you know,

358
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: you knew right when it happened, even he was moving

359
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: around and was trying and you know, and obviously was

360
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: in some pain, but he wasn't you know, it wasn't

361
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: a Kevin Everett type of insight. I did think of

362
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: that because that was the last lot of people to

363
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: remember the ambulance coming on the field. A lot of

364
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: people thought about Kevin Everett in that moment, and so

365
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: it it wasn't didn't seem like that. But given the

366
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: fact that this is the stadium where Kevin Everett Kevin

367
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: Everett injury happened, it you know, they did the right thing.

368
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: And I don't have a problem at all if they

369
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: were overly cautious. But I think that's the atmosphere really then,

370
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: and it's and like I said, I think it's a

371
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: better place. Yeah, And we'll have to just kind of

372
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: wait and see on what the injuries hold for player

373
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: availability and depth heading into a very important division game

374
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: on a short week. The injury that I mean, Steve

375
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this, the injury we're most

376
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: concerned about is Jordan Phillips hamstring injury. He pulled up

377
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: lame on the Matt Milano interception return. He's trying to

378
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: get down field to throw a block. He's running full bore,

379
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty pounds. You want to talk about

380
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: putting torque on your muscles, and it looked like his

381
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: hamstring just went on him. And soft tissue injuries, especially

382
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: for big guys that are bent over in three point stances,

383
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: that's tough. But he's there and he just goes down

384
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: all by himself. And for those of us that have

385
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: pulled hamstrings, I actually score a hamstring, I know what

386
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: that's like. It is not fun. And then more importantly,

387
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: it's not easy to come back from can jog with

388
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. You can slowly build up to top

389
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: speed with a hamstring injury, but when you play an

390
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: explosive sport like football and you got a fire out

391
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: of your stance, it's gonna take some time before Jordan

392
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: Phillips plays again. I hope it's like a Grade one strain,

393
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: not a Grade two or Grade three, but no matter

394
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: what on a short week. And I'll say I'm not

395
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: the doctor, but I think I think he could probably

396
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: feel it a step or so before, because it looks

397
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: like he absolutely just went down to make sure he

398
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: didn't try and stretch anything for them. Maybe he saved

399
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: himself a grade two. Hopefully it's just a twinge. But

400
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: and the only reason we think that's a we're we

401
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: decided it was we were more worried about Jordan phillips

402
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: injury after we found out Dane Jackson's gonna, you know,

403
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: feeling better. Otherwise Dane Jackson's injuries worse. But Jordan Phillips

404
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: is now the one you worry about because you know

405
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: these other guys, everything else seems to be superficial. Well,

406
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: and not only that, we don't know what's the status

407
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: for Ed Oliver and Tim Settle who missed this game.

408
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: That's right, Like, are they going to be back and

409
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: ready to go this week? Because if not, the Bills

410
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: could be down three of their top four defensive tackles.

411
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: That's a little you're biting off a little too much there,

412
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean, biting off more than you can choose. Depth

413
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: is one thing, but that's you know, that's that's catastrophe. Yeah,

414
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: that's a catastrophic um situation. So yeah, well that's gonna

415
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: be a very interesting storyline coming off of this short week.

416
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: I will say this though, Steven, you could probably speak

417
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: to this, what what is the level of benefit with

418
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: this lopsided game that the coaching staff was able to

419
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: pull a lot of starters out of this game who

420
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: basically played two and a half maybe three quarters? You

421
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: got an extra quarter off on a short week. I mean,

422
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: does it help even a little bit, maybe a little

423
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: less wear and tear. Maybe maybe the data would tell

424
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: you that it does, or maybe long in a big

425
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: group it would, but individually, most of the guys would

426
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: have rather played And well, I know about just saying

427
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna be going into us super hot environment,

428
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: high humidity. Yeah, but I it. No, I don't think

429
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: it's a huge I don't think it's a huge I

430
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: think the benefit is the fact that Josh Allen's healthy,

431
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, all those guys they pulled out healthy or healthy,

432
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like Matt Malano needed to go back

433
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: in if you got a little stinger or Mica hide

434
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: same thing. You know, you can pull those guys, sit

435
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: them down, just you know, start the mending process right away.

436
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: I think it's more about protection from injury, further injury

437
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: or or a new injury for the rest of the game.

438
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: That's basically it. The rest to me is negligible. The difference. Yeah, yeah,

439
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: those guys can start celebrating a little bit earlier than

440
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: they normally would, you know, in a game like that. Yeah,

441
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: I was just thinking from a rest perspective on a

442
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: short week. Maybe that's a good question. It's a good question,

443
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I got a real answer

444
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: for you, because you know, you're talking about what probably

445
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: not even probably like ten plays that they missed out on.

446
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: And those of those ten plays, what are we talking

447
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: about probably two kneel downs a kneel down or two,

448
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: So it's three, three minutes left in the third quarter,

449
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: they're out. I think it was three thirty eight. When

450
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: the offense came back out without the with the ball

451
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: in the third left third, Bro, that was those are

452
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: snaps off your body. I just I just think there's

453
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: value there. The Titans were a tent steak and the

454
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: Bills were a hammer. I mean it was it was over.

455
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: It was a pludgeoning. I don't think there's any question

456
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: about Tannehill sitting over there, Derek Henry sitting over there

457
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: might not be in the starting lineup in three weeks

458
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: maybe less. The team's going nowhere this year. They're owing two.

459
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: They're not going to the playoffs. Well they aren't. They

460
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: aren't a division that gives them a chance. Yeah, but

461
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they're the third best team

462
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: in the division right now, well maybe the second best team.

463
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville looks like the best team in the division. I

464
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: would say Indianapolis looks horrible. Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm

465
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: shocked at how bad Indianapolis looked in Tennessee. They've now

466
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: they're owned two. They got beat by the Giants, a

467
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: team that's rebuilding. We we talked about that. How weft.

468
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: You measured it up. It doesn't The Giants shouldn't be

469
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: that good and they you know, they beat him. Well,

470
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: maybe it did turn out that the Bills were that

471
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: much better. And then and then Houston. Houston is oh

472
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: one and one, yeah, oh one and one Division is

473
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: a tire fire. It is terrible with black smoke coming out.

474
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, stinks they are. It is Jacksonville awful.

475
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: You know what though, Jacksonville with those edge rushes they've

476
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: got and Josh Allen, Trayvon Walker, Trevor Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence

477
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: can sling it and he's doing. Doug Peterson is a

478
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: pro coach. What is that about how bad Urban Meyer was?

479
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: He might even be worse than we thought. I mean,

480
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: we already knew he was, you know, a less than

481
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: ideal human being, But my gosh, that guy is I mean, yeah, really,

482
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't even want to get into it. I mean,

483
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: I've never heard of a coach doing some of the

484
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 1: things I heard about them doing, like, let alone, not

485
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: going back to right that's exact thing, not going back

486
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: to the not going back to Jacksonville with the team. Yeah,

487
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: what do you do? So that's yeah, Jacksonville is markedly better.

488
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: Their roster probably a little better than it was, and

489
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: they're more prepared, better prepared. Yeah, so there, Yeah, jackson

490
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: Jacksonville made. They're gonna go from worse to first and

491
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: then they could they might. They look like they are

492
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: right now. I mean they they're there. I don't know

493
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be there at the end of the team,

494
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: but right now they are the best last place schedule.

495
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: They are the best team in that division right now. Yeah,

496
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: we want to talk about the Bills though not the

497
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: AFC South. So what were your biggest takeaways from the

498
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: bills forty one seven win over the Titans eight h

499
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty the number to get on board.

500
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: We lead off today with Dave and Buffalo. What do

501
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: you got first? Dave, Hey, So, I want to talk

502
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: about this Miami game coming up. How do you guys

503
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: feel about with all the injuries that we have going

504
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: into next week? How do you think that's going to

505
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: help us or hurt us? Going against Waddle and Tyree Hill?

506
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: Your your top your top people right now on that team,

507
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: and with the injuries that we have, how do you

508
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: think that's going to affect the score? And the mentality

509
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: of the team. Yeah, it's a wait and see, Dave.

510
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: To be quite honest with you, it's a wait and

511
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: see because we don't know. I mean, people thought Dane

512
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: Jackson was in serious trouble last night. The guy walks

513
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: out of the hospital and he's hanging out at his

514
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: house today and did not suffer any neck or spinal

515
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: cord injury of any kind. So very fortunate. But his

516
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: situation is dramatically different than what it was twelve hours ago.

517
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's just one example of why there's

518
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: no way to know here Tuesday morning what roster availability

519
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: is going to look like at the end of the week.

520
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know anything about Ed Oliver or

521
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: Tim Settle. Are those guys back this week? That changes

522
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: things dramatically if they are. Jordan Phillips, what's his situation

523
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: with his hamstring. Could Dane Jackson actually be able to

524
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: play this week, We don't know. If he does, that

525
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: changes a lot. I will say this, you do have

526
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: Taryn Johnson, who I think is going to spend most

527
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: of the day on Jalen Waddle because Waddles the guy

528
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: that lines up in the slot the most, not to

529
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: say that he'll never lines up there, but it's mostly

530
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: waddle inside and it looks like Micah Hides okay coming

531
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: off the stinger last night, So you should have your

532
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: two veteran safeties to handle. Gisiki the tight end who

533
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: had a nice day last week too. And then yeah,

534
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: Hell is the unicorn and they've dealt with him before,

535
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: sometimes without a lot of success, but he beats a

536
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: lot of teams as we saw last week. I do

537
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: know this. The Bills over the last two years have

538
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: given up the fewest plays of twenty yards or more

539
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: in the entire league. That's the difference here in this matchup.

540
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: They have the number one defense in football from last year,

541
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: and I would argue they're even better this year, so

542
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: that has an impact. Yeah, I agree the defensive tackles.

543
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: I think the defensive tackle situation will get better, not worse.

544
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Jordan Phillips is a guy they I wish

545
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: they had him, and I think that the Bills know it.

546
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: He's as good a defensive tackle as they have. But

547
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: they got de Kwon Jones. They'll probably I would say,

548
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: probably have Ed Oliver ready, if not Tim Settle. Settle

549
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: was doubtful Oliver was out going into the game. Jordan,

550
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: either of them play Jordan Phillips is a big loss.

551
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: But you've still got Von Miller, you still got Greg Rousseau,

552
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: Boogie Bash and A J. Panessa. The ends are still legit.

553
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna be all right. C. J. Brewer and de

554
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: Kwon Jones or no, Brandon Bryant acquitted themselves very well

555
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: last night. You didn't have any drop off in the

556
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: run defense. So I I yeah, the Bills are gonna

557
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: be all right. And I think, you know, like we've said,

558
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: I think the defensive backfield will come back together. I

559
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: think if Micah Hyde, I think is an important COG

560
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: no question, Dane Jason would be great. But you know,

561
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm beginning to get less and less afraid of Christian

562
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: Benford and Kayer Elam out there because they were defending

563
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: passes last night and they got Bull's eyes on them.

564
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: We know that they do. Now we'll have to see.

565
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: You know this, This passing attack from Miami is right

566
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: up there in the rankings with the Bills. They've really

567
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: put up some some nice numbers, mostly last week. I mean,

568
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: their offense against New England wasn't anything dramatically impressive. So

569
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: we'll see. But I think we got to wait till

570
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: later in the week before we get a handle on

571
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: who the Bills will have and won't have for that game.

572
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

573
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: come back, more of your phone calls, as we want

574
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: to know from you your biggest takeaway from the Bill's

Speaker 1: high school, Week two in the books for the NFL,

590
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: and the Bills are one of what is it seven teams?

591
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: I think hold on? I wrote it down in my notes, Steve.

592
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: Six teams left that are undefeated, Buffalo, Miami, Tampa, Philly,

593
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: the Giants, and Kansas City. That is the list. But

594
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: we want to know from you your main takeaway from

595
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: the Week two drubbing of the Titans by the Bills.

596
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: We go back to the phones and we begin with

597
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: Louis and Denver. What do you got for us? Lewis, Hey,

598
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: how are you? Chris? And Steve good Good. I don't

599
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: know if you remember I called yesterday. I was actually

600
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: worried about the game last night, but apparently those concerns

601
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: were overblown. But I did want to talk about possible

602
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: Achilles heel and that was the third and one short

603
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: yardage and the lack of a running game. Your website

604
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: shows w g R says they only had forty six

605
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: yards before the fourth quarter before slop time. And what

606
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: your opinion is on rotating Devin's singletary out so much

607
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: because his best stretch of his career was last year

608
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: when he was pretty much getting the load down the

609
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: stretch and in the playoffs there. Yeah, I mean it's

610
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: a rhythm thing, right. You talk to any running back

611
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: and they'll tell you, oh, the more work I get,

612
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: the more in a rhythm I feel I can set

613
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: up defenders a little bit better, and any running I'll

614
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: tell you they want more of the work. I don't

615
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: know that that's ever going to happen here for two reasons.

616
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: Number one, it's clear at least through the first two

617
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: weeks that they want to get all of them involved

618
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: and it's a committee approach. And then the second thing is,

619
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're going to run enough over

620
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: the course of a game to allow anybody to get

621
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: into rhythm, even if you had one guy in there

622
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: from start to finish. So all that being said, I

623
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: think the run game does have to find a little

624
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: bit of a rhythm, though we haven't seen that, certainly

625
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: not the way we did down the stretch last year,

626
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: Steve in the last six games when the game was

627
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: really rolling, they haven't captured that yet. So if you

628
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: want to nitpick, that's probably an area to go. Although

629
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: I will say that a lot of the times, because

630
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have made a big

631
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: issue of the fact that Ken Dorsey called twenty one

632
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: straight pass plays between the second and third quarters. He

633
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: didn't call them. Most of those are RPOs where Josh

634
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: has to make the decision based on what the defense

635
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: is showing him whether to stick with the run call

636
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: or change it to a pass. And a lot of

637
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: times yesterday he checked to a pass. And that's why

638
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: you saw twenty one pass plays in a row yesterday. Yeah,

639
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: somebody said it was like an hour and fifteen minutes

640
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: of the game that the Bills never ran the football

641
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: at all. And as it ends up, James Cook is

642
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: the leading rusher with fifty three yards. He had a

643
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: thirty three yard run. Singletary had six six runs for

644
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: nineteen yards, Zack Moss three for seventeen, Josh one for ten.

645
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: It was the third first third down of the game

646
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: in case Kingdom, of course had three rushes for two

647
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: because he was kneeling down. They rushed for one hundred

648
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: and one night yards. And you're right, you'd like to

649
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: see him run it better and more effectively. I guess

650
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: it's hard to find a fault with it. I know

651
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: because you know, you got to do what's working. Yeah,

652
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: and through the first two weeks, I think you can

653
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: you can see that more often than not. When Josh

654
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: sees corners sloughing off on the receivers, he takes it.

655
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: He just takes that and it's like it's a free

656
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: five yards if he just catches and falls down. And

657
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: last night Diggs was actually getting yards after the catch

658
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: in many respects, and it was setting up stuff like

659
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: second in three, second in two. So yeah, I think

660
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: in an ideal world, you love to have the run

661
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 1: game rolling like we saw it last year down the stretch,

662
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: But if they're gonna give you six yards outside, you'd

663
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: be foolish not to take it right and he did,

664
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: and it got to be you know, even casual fans

665
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: were like, why did they let him do that? Well,

666
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: I was perplexed and I get it too. Job. We

667
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: walked into this game, no one, Gabe Davis wasn't gonna play.

668
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: You got Jake Kumero on the other side. Now, Jake

669
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: Kumar had two catches and they were important catches. He

670
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: had three two catches for fifty yards the long of

671
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: thirty nine, so they were pretty they were good catches,

672
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: but he ain't winning that game. They they left McCreary

673
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: on Diggs by himself a lot, and then after that

674
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: didn't work, they tried just about everybody else. They tried

675
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: Trey Avery, they tried Caleb Farley, they tried Um Jackson.

676
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: None of it were every time that they left Steph

677
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: Diggs one on one and one time when they left

678
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: him one on one with no safety help. That was

679
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: with Trey Avery a long touchdown, he ends up going

680
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: deep and catching a touchdown. They came him the whole

681
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: middle of the field. Yeah, they couldn't believe it, right,

682
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: it was an easy throwing catch. I mean, not for nothing.

683
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 1: It looked a lot like the Ravens defense against the Dolphins. Yeah,

684
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: so where you're like, what what what are they doing

685
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: out there? So that I don't know why. I to me,

686
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: your entire past defense centers around two things. You're pass

687
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: rushing Stefan Diggs. I think it's a mistake to leave

688
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: him one on one with the I mean, the guy

689
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: had a game against Jalen Ramsey last week. What are

690
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: you doing leaving two one of those guys out there? Right?

691
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: And I and maybe they've they've got problems that we're

692
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: not aware of that they're trying to work around in

693
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: their roster. Maybe those guys are their best option rather

694
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: than double team and maybe the you know, the safeties

695
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: vaulting those guys that maybe they're just out of sorts

696
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: back there. But Mann, I just thought I thought they

697
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: were not given their defensive backs a chance going one

698
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: on one like that. The biggest mistake by the Titans

699
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: that was a pick in the end zone. That guy

700
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: got both feet down. I thought so too, Money Hooker

701
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: got both feet down in the end zone. Fortunately, the

702
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: Bills ran up and called the next play. They got

703
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: a penalty on it. Who cares, but it didn't matter.

704
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I'll take the five yards instead of

705
00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: the interception, um because that was I thought of my again,

706
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: I thought money Hooker got his hands on that two

707
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: feet down, he dragged the toe, got the second foot in.

708
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: That was a pick in the end zone and the

709
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: Titans just flat out missed it. And a lot has

710
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: been made by the Tennessee media about the Titans unwillingness

711
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: as an organization to invest in analytics and people watching

712
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: different stuff like that. The Bills have upwards of eight

713
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: people in their analytics department. The Titans have one one.

714
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: It makes a difference in this day and age football.

715
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: It's one of the other times where you see these teams.

716
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: They're all seen, they're all playing football, they're all the

717
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: same league and all that, but there are sometimes subtle

718
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: differences and sometimes vast differences in the way these franchises

719
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: are run inside their building. Makes a difference. Let's go

720
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: back to the phones. We go to Nate and Los Angeles.

721
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: We got first Nate, Hey, Chris and Steve. I love

722
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: the show. Thanks for having me. Sure, what do you

723
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: got for us? So the one concern that I have

724
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: is about the coaching decisions in games. Sometimes. I know

725
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: Sean's overall record and challenges is not good. It's not

726
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: going to hurt you when you win by thirty four points,

727
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: of course, but just the decision making that goes into

728
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: those I know from the side view it was really

729
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: clean catch, pretty quick to see, so those kind of

730
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: things and the thirteen seconds last year, I think a

731
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: lot of that was coaching decisions and Situationally, I think

732
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: we can do a little bit better. Sean I think,

733
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: obviously a great coach with the program he's built, the

734
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: size of injuries. That's the one concern that I may

735
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: have for this team. And I was also I thought

736
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: the catch the interception was a catch as well. I

737
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: think it was within two minutes though, so I think

738
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be a booth review. Okay, I'll

739
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: have to go back and look at that. Yeah, yeah,

740
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: maybe all right, that's all I have. Guy, Yeah, good

741
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: stuff that. Yeah, they did miss the challenge and the angle.

742
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: And here's the here's the problem. The guys up in

743
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 1: the booth are going by the angle that and I'll

744
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: say this, and I there's been a little bit of

745
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: a buzz around on social media about the telecast last

746
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: night and how they handled it. Um. I will kind

747
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: of concur with that a little bit. I was missing

748
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: some some replays on a couple of spots, um, And

749
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: we didn't get the replay of the challenge that the

750
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: Bills saw until after they had challenged it. And one

751
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: angle from the top looking down the guy coming off,

752
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: he couldn't tell that he dragged his toe. It looked

753
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: like he just dragged he put his foot out of right.

754
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: And then when you see it from the from the back,

755
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: from the sideline down low of course, um, it was

756
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: a good catch. Right. That's a problem and has to

757
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: do with some of Some of that was the telecast

758
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: angles and how quick coach has people pull upstairs that

759
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: are looking at all that stuff for him, and they

760
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: radio down and say challenge, this is worth a challenge,

761
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's got to trust him and

762
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: do it. And unless he had a better view of

763
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: it and say no, no, I saw it. It's it's okay,

764
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: which he probably did not know from his vantage point. Yeah,

765
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: so it's, um, he's your rights. The challenge has always

766
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: been I don't know that there are a lot of

767
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: coaches who do it right every time or have a

768
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: great record of doing it. I don't think everybody's right

769
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: all the time. Tony Dungeon never did it right. I

770
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: mean you just never used it. And you know, sometimes

771
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: you it's just too easy formers say, you know what

772
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: it stands is called there was no discernible evidence. You know,

773
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: you get because you got to have real evidence of it.

774
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: And it's hard to find break time for us here

775
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: morea phone calls coming up, but we take a break

776
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: before we get back to your biggest takeaways from Buffalo's

777
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: thirty four point win over the Titans to improve to

778
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: two and oh, we're back in a moment here on

779
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: one Bill's Life Time for the Triple Red Sevens Hottest

780
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: Plays in the Game, presented by New York Lottery, and

781
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: we begin with Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs. What else

782
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: would we do? Right, Steve? Where else you're gonna start there?

783
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna start big with the forty six yards shot

784
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. This was this was easy picking, no

785
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: safety post route, nobody's out there except the run. The

786
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: defensive back you got hung out and you know Alan

787
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: and Diggs just took him to school. I mean it

788
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 1: was an easy pitch and catch. You know, Josh throws

789
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: that ball out there, has to and Diggs extends for touchdown.

790
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean that that's as easy at long touchdown as

791
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna see in the NFL. It really is. I

792
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: just I don't know what you're expecting from the Avery kid. There.

793
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: You got the safeties all bunched up on the intermediate routes,

794
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: and Avery's left out there all by himself. I mean

795
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 1: he just runs by the linebackers and the safeties. Nobody's helping,

796
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: and that kid's got to cover the whole back two

797
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: thirds of the field. He didn't have a chance. Every

798
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: had no chance. That's the story of the night. Yeah,

799
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: we go from it Diggs's second touchdown to his third.

800
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: This one was a laser though from Josh. Yeah, a

801
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: little run pass. He had a chance to hand it

802
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: off and once again single coverage, all kinds of space

803
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: back there, and Josh i mean throws a fastball and

804
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: Diggs almost can't catch it, and it ends up it's

805
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Once again, single coverage, quick slant over the middle.

806
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen puts it, i mean, right on his numbers. Yeah,

807
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: and he bobbled it a little bit because it was

808
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: coming in high. He Josh put everything on it and

809
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: he gathered it in. That's a play we've seen, like

810
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis has caught a bunch of those digs, has

811
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: caught some of those that same slant route. If he

812
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: doesn't hand it off on the play action, he just

813
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: pit pulls it out and guns it. And then the

814
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: big play on the defensive side of the ball by

815
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: the Italian stallion Matt Milano. He slows off from the

816
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: outside receiver. He follows Tannehill's eyes and just steps It's

817
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: not very far, just two steps in and Tannehill throws

818
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: it right to him and ends up taking the angle

819
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: trying to run him out of bounds. He doesn't get there. Yeah,

820
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 1: Kolano's just awesome. Coach McDermott after the game credited Milano.

821
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: He said that is film study. He said, the reason

822
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: he is standing there is because of film study. And

823
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 1: Von Miller and Jordan Poyer had some very nice things

824
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: to say about their team eight after the game too.

825
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: Von's calling him the real five eight. You know, it

826
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: was von Miller's number in Denver. He's like, oh, that's

827
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: the real five eight. That's the real five eight. And

828
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: Jordan was just talking about how hard he works. Milano

829
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: has not had an interception since I think early in

830
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season. It's been a minute, so he's

831
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: been like aching to make a big play and it

832
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: made one. It was hard to get. It was hard

833
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: to get interceptions for this defense, even last year when

834
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: they were the number one statistical defense on a bunch

835
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: of metrics, because they didn't have that pass rush and

836
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: they didn't have that get after it front that they

837
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: do this year. The ball's coming out with a little

838
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: more desperation on the other end at the quarterback spot,

839
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: and they're throwing it in the wrong spots because they're

840
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of it. And Matt Milano finally

841
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: and takes advantage and gets to the end zone. That

842
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of people are saying this,

843
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: that game was going so well because Tannehill sits down

844
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: after the interception, Malique Willis comes in and his first

845
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: throw is right in Milano's chest. Yeah right, I mean,

846
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: like blink, Milano was looking at himself, going, was that

847
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: supposed to happen? It literally was gonna be two interceptions

848
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: and two consecutive plays for Matt Milano and he stone

849
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: handed it. Yeah. Jordan Potter was mad because he said

850
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: I should have had two also, and he's right, he

851
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: probably should have had two. Um. It's frightening to think

852
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: it could have been even worse than it was for

853
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: the Titans. Porter's was early on the goal line. It

854
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: was a little high, it looked like, and he was gone,

855
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: that was gonna be a tarn Johnson interception going the

856
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: other way. Nobody was gonna get him. Um, And he

857
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: just couldn't get enough, couldn't get enough big enough piece

858
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: of it um and I was right. Milano's last interception

859
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season opener against the Jets. Oh wow, that's

860
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: his last interception, so it's been a while. So happy

861
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: for him that he got a hold of one. Not

862
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: only that I got to take it all the way

863
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: back for a touchdown, which I mean, good night, Irene.

864
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: It was you know you can you can go drive home. Now,

865
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: drive home safely. This game's over. So that are Those

866
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 1: are your Triple Red seven's hottest plays of the game,

867

868
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: take a break here. When we come back, we'll be

869
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: taking a trip around the locker room. We'll also be

870
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: catching up with Bill's Radio Network color analyst Eric Wood

871
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: for his thoughts from the booth on last night's dominating

872

Speaker 1: performance by the Bills forty one seven over the Titans.

873

Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health. This

874
00:49:36,520 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. These One Bills Live presented by

875
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: Light to Health. Our number two of a Buffalo football Tuesday,

876
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: after the Bills buried the Tennessee Titans. The epitaph has

877
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 1: been written on Tennessee's twenty twenty two season, now owing

878
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: two on the year and maybe just a week or

879
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: two away from going full time with Malik Willis, we

880
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: shall see forty one to seven year final and it

881
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: is time for us to go around the locker room.

882
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: Presented by connect Life, your Blood and organ Donor Network,

883
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: we begin with what Else Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs,

884
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: who combined for three touchdowns in this game, and Josh

885
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: commented on where the connection now stands with Diggs as

886
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: it is apparently reached another level getting in the ball

887
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: early and often. He did a great job getting open um,

888
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: making play. He's making some some great catches. That long,

889
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: long one was a great catch. Um. So he he

890
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: is what he is as stuff on Diggs, you know,

891
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: we we we we know he is one of the greatest,

892
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: if not the greatest, you know, receiver in the game

893
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: right now. And I trust him implicitly. I love that

894
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: guy who works his tail off. And I'll tell you

895
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: what I'm that long touchdown drive. I can't praise him enough.

896
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, he ran, he ran a deep go um,

897
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: he came back, he ran a quick out, he got

898
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: a look, he's on the sideline running and to have

899
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: that that stamina and that one and that will to

900
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: keep going, um not taking a playoff there, you know,

901
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: and he got rewarded. But again that I can't praise

902
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: him for enough for that because he just put his

903
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: head down, he worked tonight. What do you say about

904
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: like that? He's talking about the two previous routes that

905
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: he ran before he ran the deep route. Can you

906
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: just maybe speak to how when did you can get

907
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: when even if the most highly trained, conditioned athletes can

908
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: get winded in that area because they're not half assid

909
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: any of those routes. You're going full speed on all

910
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 1: of them and the last one's the go. Just walk

911
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: us through that. As a former receiver, there's a couple

912
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: of of instances and examples this last weekend on other

913
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: teams where guys were gassed the pick six and the

914
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: Tandy in the lah Yeah, Gerald Everett. Everett couldn't go.

915
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: He was gassed. He had run like they left round.

916
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: They left him on the field and he couldn't adjust

917
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: their out because he was just beat. The guy steps

918
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: in front, touchdown the other way. So, and when you're

919
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: out there running, you're competing all the time against the

920
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: guy that's on you, even if he's off coverage, or

921
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: what if he's standing next to you and you're touching

922
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: him and you're fighting with him and all that, or

923
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: you're leaning on him, you're still even if he's five yards,

924
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,479
Speaker 1: you're still competing with him. But what's the physical drain,

925
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: like snap to snap to snap with that long one

926
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: that at the end, it's like going hard, thinking you're

927
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna win on this play and then not even getting

928
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: the ball, going back doing it again on a longer route,

929
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: and these guys trained for it. I mean, football is

930
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: its own, you know, its own type of conditioning. You

931
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: explode one hundred percent for three or four seconds, then

932
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: you jog back, so you have no intensity, just getting

933
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: recovery active recovery, right. You're trying to get back into

934
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: the the play to the line of scrimmage. If you're

935
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, you're jogging back because you gotta get ready,

936
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: and you're starting to concentrate on what the next call

937
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: is going to be. What am I doing? What am

938
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: I doing here? What am I doing there? So you're

939
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: actively thinking and doing at the same time. But you

940
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: run out there and then you do it again one

941
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: hundred percent and then you actively and depending and it's

942
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: pure happenstance. If you get a short route where you

943
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: don't have to, you know, sprint fifty five yards and

944
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: then turn around a jog back and then sprint again.

945
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: It's happenstance that you get a little quick out where

946
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: you don't you know, you get some more time. Yeah,

947
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: but it's on every play, one after the other, and

948
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: you get as much recovery as the play clock will

949
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: give you. After the game, I asked Defon Diggs at

950
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: the postgame lectern or table, what is it about Tennessee?

951
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: This was his third one hundred yard receiving game in

952
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: four career games against Tennessee. The other one he went

953
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: for eighty nine, So I asked him, what is it

954
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: about Tennessee that makes him so productive? Here's what he said.

955
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully you can say that about a couple of teams.

956
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: But as for me, like I said, it's not it's

957
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: not a person for me, it's business for me. Like

958
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: the next team, Nay in front of me, dam my

959
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: way where I'm trying to go what I'm trying to

960
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: do and I'm trying to start wins. But you know,

961
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: the next team is always the next team. But there's

962
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: never no extra incentive. When when I played SENI see it.

963
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: I like Tennessee, nashvillel Hot Chicken and others moving you

964
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: around like a chest piece. How much fun of you

965
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: having been in his own I like it. I mean,

966
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, just trusting, trusting and trusting

967
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: your stats, trusting the guys that's putting your position to

968
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: be successful, and also trusting that you're going to be

969
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: in position to get other guys open. Like for me,

970
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: I know, like me doing my job is gonna make

971
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: other guys open, Like it was like one time I

972
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: was trying to go deep and I see the safety

973
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: run go to my side and Jake catching Obama siline.

974
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 1: Like you gotta get excited for that type of stuff,

975
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: especially considering Jake was a guy that stepped up when

976
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: Gabe got hurt. So seeing guys make plays and seeing

977
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: that what you can do offensively, especially from my position

978
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: getting guys open, and you know, you know, not that

979
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 1: I did much, but he did it on his own,

980
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: but just seeing guys have success and being at chess

981
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: piece that you can move around and you know, help

982
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: his offense. I think the most amazing thing about Digs

983
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: since he's been here is if you talk to people

984
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: in Minnesota or people that knew him as a player

985
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, they saw a guy that was disappointed he

986
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: couldn't do more personally to help his team win. Now

987
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: that he's here and he's the guy, I just think

988
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: his whole approach to passing game football has done a

989
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: one eighty because he sees his value to the offense

990
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: when he doesn't get the ball as much as when

991
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: he does now. And I don't know if you could

992
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: have said that about him three years ago. Well, I

993
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: certainly think he also has as a place now where

994
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: three years ago he might not have felt like he

995
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: had enough guys around him that he could trust to

996
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: do their job too, And they think, you know, okay,

997
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: And it was he wanted to do more because there

998
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: was nobody else to contribute the kind of thing a

999
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: little bite, a little bit of that nobody. Plus I

1000
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: think also when you're winning consistently, that secures a lot

1001
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: of a lot of things. When you're in when in

1002
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota and you get your you get your targets and

1003
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: all that and stuff and from Kirk Cousins, and that's fine,

1004
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: But when the game's on the line and you're not

1005
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: and you've got guys that are the ball's going someplace

1006
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: else and nobody's coming through for the team. Nobody can

1007
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: get the get the you know, get you over the

1008
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: hump for the win week to week. That's pretty frustrating

1009
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: when you feel like you could do it. And I

1010
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: think that's where he was before he came to Buffalo

1011
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: and now, I mean, if he doesn't make it happen,

1012
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis is catching four touchdowns against Kansas City Chiefs.

1013
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: You know, Jake Kumro was down the sidelines. Um, you know,

1014
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary's getting the running, getting some running game going,

1015
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So um, Dawson Knox too. So

1016
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: it's I think that kind of mind frame I is

1017
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: is my guest for where he's been and why and

1018
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: what it was like when you know, when he middle us,

1019
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: forget when he came over from Minnesota, people are like, hey,

1020
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a he was unhappy in minnesot and

1021
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: he's going to do the same thing. He's going to

1022
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: poison your locker room, just like he poisoned this one.

1023
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: Dada da da, And that's just not true. Yeah, Well, yeah,

1024
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: and poison locker room might even be a strong characterization

1025
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: of that. I think it was more his desire to

1026
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: do more to help that team win that wasn't winning.

1027
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: They were languishing around five hundred for the better part

1028
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: of his tenure there, and I think he felt if

1029
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: he was more involved, he could do more to help

1030
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: the team win. And that's kind of where his frustrations

1031
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: were rooted primarily. So that is around the locker room,

1032
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: presented by a Connect Life, your Blood and organ donor network.

1033
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: We move now, though, to Bill's radio color analyst, Eric Wood,

1034
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,919
Speaker 1: who watched the game, as we know from the booth,

1035
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: called the game with Murph, and we want to get

1036
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: his thoughts as we do every week. So here is Eric.

1037
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: All right, Eric, let's start here. We knew that there

1038
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: was the potential for this game to be a mucket

1039
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: up style, which is the kind of game the Titans

1040
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: like to play. But the Bills go down the field

1041
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: score on their opening drive for the second straight week,

1042
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: and while it's tight early, I don't think there was

1043
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: ever a feeling like the game was going to get

1044
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: away from Buffalo. I don't know why it was, because

1045
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: it was seven seven, ten, to seven for a while,

1046
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: and then it's almost like the score had to convince you,

1047
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: Like even though it was seventeen seven, it felt like

1048
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: the game was over already. Yeah, I agree with that.

1049
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: I think there was a big talent gap between these

1050
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: two teams and A J. Brown last year for the

1051
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: Titans offense, their wide receiver who's now in Philadelphia. He

1052
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: was a difference maker for them on offense. And I

1053
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: say that Derek Henry was still the focal point of

1054
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: the offense. But when they ran play action, you were

1055
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: worried about A. J. Brown. When the Titans run play

1056
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: action this year, you're just not that worried about any

1057
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: of their guys. Robert Wood's a very quality receiver, but

1058
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: he's not going to break off the big ones. He's

1059
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: not going to take over a game at this point

1060
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: of his career. Likely being said, Titans offense not nearly

1061
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: is intimidating. Their offensive line is not what it was

1062
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: a year ago. They also lose Taylor of Luwan, their

1063
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl left tackle. They lose him on the first

1064
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: play of the game. Question berries in a Bills uniform,

1065
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,919
Speaker 1: Roger Staffold's in a Bills uniform. All that being said,

1066
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: they don't have the offensive line they did. They don't

1067
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: have the big time playmaker on the outside. And then

1068
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: defensively for the Titans, they're already without Harold Landry, they're

1069
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: without their top cornerback, and then they lose Bud Dupree

1070
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: to a hip injury, their other pass rusher, and it

1071
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: just looked like at some point the Bills are going

1072
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: to start steam rolling them. And throughout the broadcast, I

1073
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: don't want to sit here and pretend like I'm Nostradamis

1074
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: on a broadcast, but as soon as the Bills forced

1075
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: to three and out when they were up ten to seven,

1076
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: I said, it was mid the late second corner. I said,

1077
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: here's where the Bills start rolling. This is the Bills

1078
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: are so talented. If you start getting three and outs

1079
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: and you put your defense right back on the field

1080
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: and that momentum starts to swing, this is a well machine.

1081
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: We saw in the second half against the Rams when

1082
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: they stopped turning the ball over up until the final

1083
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: four minute deal at the end, and then we saw

1084
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,919
Speaker 1: it here once we kind of shirt up the third

1085
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: and short fourth and short mishaps. Once they start rolling,

1086
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: look out, because you're gonna you gotta have the horses

1087
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: to keep up with them, and most team in the

1088
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: league aren't going to have them. And one of the

1089
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: things that's different about this Bill's team this year is

1090
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: the defense, particularly the defensive front. We were worried about

1091
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver being out, Tim Settle being out, and they

1092
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: really didn't miss a beat. Certainly they didn't get the

1093
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: seven sacks they got against the La Rams, but they

1094
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: did stuff the running game of the Titans, and I

1095
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: think that's something that is really different about this year's team. Yeah,

1096
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,439
Speaker 1: you're right, and this is you give up one hundred

1097
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: and forty something to the Titans on the ground last year,

1098
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: and I know you could say if you take away

1099
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the long run, but it did happen. That happened, and

1100
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: then this year you hold Derek Hendry to twenty five

1101
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: yards on thirteen carries, and this defensive line. It's a

1102
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: big difference all across the board. Greg Russo is a

1103
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: better player this year. Whether that's just from having von

1104
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: Miller in maybe maybe not. From what I've heard, he's

1105
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: added some size, some strength. One of my favorite players

1106
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: in the game last night was Greg Russo's sack that

1107
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: he had from the three technique position. And I always

1108
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: talk about how this coaching staff does a great job

1109
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: of finding guys at having them do what their strength

1110
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: is to do. And they're very good at finding guys

1111
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: and then giving them certain roles. Think, you know, McKenzie

1112
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: and the slate, You're just not gonna have the guys

1113
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: trying to do too much. Okay. So Greg Russo gets

1114
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: the second pass rush snap in his career, rushing inside

1115
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: at three technique, and I thought to myself, well, why'd

1116
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: they do that? Why'd they put him next to von

1117
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: there Is? It simply because the injuries at d tackle,

1118
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: And when I watched that pass rush rep, I knew

1119
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: exactly why Greg Russo is at defensive tackle. You have

1120
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: him rushing against Aaron Brewer, the second year guard for

1121
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: the Titans, who's all of six one. He's listened at

1122
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: two seventy four. He looks like he's about two eighty

1123
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: six one two eighty. Greg Russo's wingspan is almost six

1124
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: foot ten, so he barrels down on him. The guy

1125
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: can't even touch him. He's in the La Batana hill.

1126
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: Immediately get a one of the first obvious pass rush

1127
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: situations of the game where you know you have enough time.

1128
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: They put him at three technique, and now that's something

1129
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: else you got to prepare for. With the Bills, you

1130
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: got a short, stubby guard inside. Here comes Greg Russo.

1131
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:22,919
Speaker 1: He's good to put his hands right in the middle

1132
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: of your chest and you can't even touch him. This

1133
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Bill's defense is so good. If they're so good that

1134
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: you have two linebackers that are fast Edmonds is long,

1135
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: they're physical. Milano has a pick six, Tremaine causes the

1136
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: other interception to Poyer when he tips it in the air.

1137
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: They were physical the entire night. They've been good all seats,

1138
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and they get overlooked. Everyone talks about how

1139
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: good the safeties are, how good these rookie young young

1140
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are playing, then all about the defensive line. These

1141
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: linebackers are awesome. Yeah, I don't think there's any question

1142
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: about it. We mentioned Henry already in the Struggles that

1143
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: he had five of his thirteen carries go for a loss,

1144
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: and those tackles for loss are by five different players, Benford,

1145
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Edmund's Miller Payer Rousseau. What does it say when everybody

1146
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: is part of the run defense effort and it's multiple

1147
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: people making those kinds of plays that are putting the

1148
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Titans in long down and distance. Well, and you're naming

1149
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: multiple dbs. That shows what this team is all about.

1150
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I don't care if you play cornerback for the Buffalo Bills.

1151
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: You gotta be physical and you gotta tackle, you gotta

1152
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: be gaps sound, and when the defensive ends are lined

1153
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: up just inside the tight end, well, now your edge

1154
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: support is your corners, and I don't care if you're

1155
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: a rookie playing in your second game in the NFL,

1156
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: you're going to be expected to fill that edge. And

1157
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: they proved last night. Benford and elm both proved that

1158
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: they're willing tacklers, and that's why they're in this organization.

1159
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: They do such a great job of finding guys that

1160
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: fit their mold. But the fact that it's five different

1161
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: guys also shows you the talent on this defen because

1162
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: you know you're going up against one of the best

1163
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: running backs in the NFL, and you're you're going against

1164
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: the team that's committed a running in the football and

1165
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: you're swarming and you just have guys flying around. It

1166
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: was fun to watch, Yeah, and this defense ended up

1167
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: plus four in the turnover margin. The Bills didn't turn

1168
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: it over on their side, they and they get plus

1169
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: they get two picks and they get a couple of

1170
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: fumble on a punt. That kind of stuff, and it's

1171
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: hard to just say, hey, that's the reason it happened.

1172
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: But when the defensive line gets better, turnovers tend to

1173
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: happen more, even if they are interceptions, because the quarterbacks

1174
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: more desperate, he makes tries to fit the ball in

1175
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: more throws. You know, they try to get some things

1176
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: done that they because they run out of time and

1177
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: they can't think about it and they don't you know,

1178
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: they just can't Settle in No question that the turnovers

1179
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: in the last night's game by the Titans, except for

1180
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: the punt obviously, but those were caused really by upgraded

1181
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: defensive line play, despite the deficiencies with Settle and Oliver out. Yeah,

1182
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see that all year. And

1183
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: von Miller was milliseconds away from a striped sack and

1184
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: it looked like he got his hand on the football.

1185
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: Tannehill just able to accelerate the ball forward and almost

1186
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: push it down the field, so that wasn't a strip

1187
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 1: sack as well. But yes, when the defense of line

1188
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,439
Speaker 1: can cause pressure on the quarterback quickly, and you don't

1189
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: have the blitz, then you have more guys in coverage.

1190
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: You're pressuring the quarterback. He's forced to make quicker decisions,

1191
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see some mistakes, and you're gonna see

1192
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes this year. And if the Bills

1193
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: continue to play with a lead for a majority of

1194
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: the season, then you're also going to see teams try

1195
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: and catch up mid latent games, and you're gonna see

1196
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers with the pressure that's being applied

1197
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: by this defensive line. And we've given a lot of

1198
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: credit to Elam and Benford and Dan Jackson and that

1199
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 1: young secondary at the cornerback position, But young corner's best

1200
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: friends are a pass rush. When that ball can't when

1201
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: they can't sit back there all day and have all

1202
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: the time in the world to throw, that makes it

1203
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: very friendly to be a defensive back sitting back there. Eric,

1204
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: we've been talking for like five or seven minutes. We

1205
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: haven't even mentioned Allan and Diggs. The connection was on

1206
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: point last night. It was so good that even Tyree

1207
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Hill tweeted last night and said the Allen and Diggs

1208
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: connection is crazy. So you see a guy like that

1209
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: talking about I mean, he knows what he's looking at.

1210
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: And I think we knew going in, especially without Christian

1211
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: Fulton playing a corner for the Titans, that they were

1212
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: going to be really hard pressed to have an answer

1213
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: for Diggs. The thing that shocked me was it did

1214
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: not seem as though the Titans were committed to doing

1215
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: everything they could to neutralize that connection with rolled coverage,

1216
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: with a safety over the top, double coverage brackets. What

1217
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: were the Titans doing? Why did they not put more

1218
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: attention on that matchup even after it started to become

1219
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: a problem. Yeah, because at times they did show him

1220
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: extra attention, but it seemed like every opportunity that Alan

1221
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: got to exploit it, he did. And there was a

1222
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: few plays. You know, a lot has been made of

1223
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: how much the Bills passed the ball in this game,

1224
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: and at one point what they have twenty one straight

1225
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: pass pass play. A few of those were true RPOs.

1226
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: They were run plays that there was a pressure look.

1227
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 1: It's a bad look. Josh doesn't check the play, he

1228
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have to go through all the theatrics of it.

1229
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,799
Speaker 1: He just swings it right out to digs with off coverage.

1230
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 1: I felt like, and this was a lot of Josh's

1231
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: answer last night to the Blitz. If they're going to

1232
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: pressure and you get off coverage, I'm going to hit

1233
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Diggs immediately. Digs it a lot after the catch as well,

1234
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 1: and it just seemed like every opportunity they had to

1235
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: expose them. But you know, then you look at a

1236
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: play where Diggs is able to kind of run just

1237
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of an out fake and get up

1238
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: the field for the long touchdown that Josh through to him,

1239
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: and why is there no safety help out the over

1240
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: the top of him there? You know that you come

1241
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: into a game without Gabe Davis, who are you worried

1242
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: about beating me the most? That's what didn't make sense

1243
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, it's Stefan Diggs, because you know, Mackenzie

1244
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: can make plays, Crowder can make plays, Kumaro has a

1245
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: long catch, but those aren't your game breakers. You're not

1246
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: necessarily worried about the running backs of the Bills being

1247
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: game breakers at this point of their career, But you

1248
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: are worried about Stefon Diggs. And you know, every opportunity

1249
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen got last night, he was able to

1250
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: find him. Yeah, and you know, not only was he

1251
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,719
Speaker 1: able to find him, it was twelve catches on fourteen targets.

1252
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't miss in two and a half quarters. Yeah, yeah,

1253
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: And it really was crazy. And I'm without Gabe Davis

1254
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: in the lineup figure it just I couldn't believe that

1255
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: they decided that Jake Kumero was gonna be a guy

1256
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: that they didn't say, you know, I dare you to

1257
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 1: beat us with Jake kumorro Kumarro had a couple of

1258
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: very nice catches. Both of them were fairly long, one

1259
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: of the intermediate crossing round. Then he had the one

1260
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: down the sidelines that set up the first touchdown for Diggs.

1261
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: I thought Ken Dorsey once again showed and I think

1262
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: one of the things I noticed about this game Erica

1263
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: was not only Ken Dorsey and the way they got

1264
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: it on track after they you know, they put it

1265
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: down on the field got the first touchdown, but then

1266
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: even the defensive side of the football, man they started

1267
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: to adjust and they put the screws down on both

1268
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, offense and defense. You couldn't get

1269
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: them off the field on offense and defensively, all of

1270
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Bills were all over the Titan offense

1271
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: after that first touchdown drive. Yeah, they had that first drive,

1272
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: and then really their second drive was a productive one

1273
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: as well. And Bill's pretty fortunate that the long robber

1274
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: Woods gaining off of the screen got called back with

1275
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: a face mask that takes them to second and twenty

1276
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: six as opposed to being down inside the Bills thirty

1277
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: five thirty yard line. And so you have that one penalty.

1278
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: But that's what happens against a good team. You make

1279
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: that one crucial mistake and then the things are going

1280
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: to start the steamroll. But to your points, Steve, I

1281
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 1: think through two weeks, one of the concerns heading into

1282
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: the season, when there's so much continuity back, somebody's familiar faces,

1283
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: so much star power on the Bills, it's okay, we

1284
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: can potentially derail this season. And maybe it's offensive play calling.

1285
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: Maybe once you get into a game for the first

1286
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: time with Ken Dorsey, he's not able to dial it

1287
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: up quite like Brian dave All did. He can't get

1288
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: Josh in a rhythm. He doesn't have a feel for it.

1289
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 1: We sure looks like through a couple of weeks Ken

1290
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: Dorsey has certainly called two good games. And you know

1291
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: yesterday when the run game isn't quite there early Devin

1292
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: Singletary popped one early in the game. But then beyond that,

1293
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: you know some really short games. And so maybe there's

1294
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 1: a few run plays called in that twenty one play

1295
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: streak with all passes. But when you got two young

1296
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 1: cornerbacks out there, when you have Fuller in his second

1297
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: year or fairly Farley in his second year, you got

1298
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: a rookie on the other side of corner, let's expose

1299
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: those guys. Let's go right at them and let's attack

1300
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 1: them that way. And then it's a copycat league. In

1301
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: the Titans were exposed in the screen game last week.

1302
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: They rushed the passer very hard. Those teams are more

1303
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:50,560
Speaker 1: susceptible two screens, first touchdown of the day. There's a

1304
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: little throwback back to Gilliam and so they do go

1305
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: to that screen. Well, So Ken Dorsey is original as

1306
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: he is. Let me a little influence from Cromer. They're

1307
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: still watching film week to week to see how that

1308
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: other team's getting exposed. All right, So Eric, let's kind

1309
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: of take a look ahead to Miami flying high after

1310
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: their own two and oh start. Some of their offensive

1311
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: numbers are on par with the Bills through the first

1312
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: two games this season, and there are some injury concerns

1313
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 1: for Buffalo coming in on a short week. Dane Jackson

1314
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 1: thankfully is out of the hospital. He's at home, no

1315
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: concerns about his neck or spinal cord, no injury to

1316
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: speak of whatsoever after MRIs and cat scans. That's great news.

1317
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: Whether he plays this week as a whole other question,

1318
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: which could potentially mean you're starting two rookies at corner

1319
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: on the outside, one of whom is presumably going to

1320
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: have to line up with Tyree Hill assuming waddles in

1321
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 1: the slot most of the time with Taryn Johnson. And

1322
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 1: then you have the Jordan Phillips hamstring injury for a

1323
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 1: defensive tackle position that it's unclear at least right now

1324
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,600
Speaker 1: as to whether Buffalo is going to have Settle or

1325
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 1: Oliver back in the lineup this week. Those are two

1326
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:05,600
Speaker 1: key positions going against this Miami offense this week. What

1327
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 1: do you think in the early going, not knowing anything yet, Yeah,

1328
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: the injuries are definitely a concern, and when you look

1329
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: at on a short week, you're going down to Miami

1330
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:18,639
Speaker 1: where it's extremely hot as well. The forecast for the game,

1331
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: I know it says mid to high eighties chance of thunderstorms.

1332
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't care. You're playing in that Florida sun. It's humid,

1333
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 1: it's early in the season. We would get real excited

1334
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: about the forecast down there sometimes when it's say like

1335
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: eighty two or eighty three in September and we get

1336
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 1: down there and we'd be drenched by the under warm ups.

1337
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: And so when you have injuries, you know that defensive

1338
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 1: line is going to want to rotate to be able

1339
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: to play as much as they can. If you're down

1340
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 1: three defensive tackles, that makes a big difference. And so

1341
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 1: the cornerback position you're talking about not only playing in

1342
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: this you know against the Mike McDaniel's offense, where there's

1343
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: motion and you put a lot of stress on you,

1344
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 1: you have elite speed on the field between Waddle and Hill.

1345
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: Elites be the tight end position. Gaseki he might be.

1346
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,799
Speaker 1: You know, he's probably a top three or four fastest

1347
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 1: tight ends in the league. He's essentially a big, tall,

1348
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 1: white receiver out there, but it's super athletic guy. And

1349
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: then when you look at the running back position. Two

1350
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: most are and Edmonds are both fast themselves, so they're

1351
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: gonna put a lot of pressure each and every week

1352
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: on a team to stay disciplined, because where Tua might

1353
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: not be the most accurate downfield thrower, if he's able

1354
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: to get the ball in the guy's hands and let

1355
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: them do the rest with their legs, that makes a

1356
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: big deal. I did see a stat earlier today. I

1357
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: think in past attempts over ten yards on the season

1358
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: through two weeks, has the highest rating on those throws,

1359
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: So you know he's gonna have improven. I talked to

1360
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 1: Channing Crowder on my podcast What's Next with Erica that

1361
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,679
Speaker 1: will release tomorrow, and I talked to him this morning

1362
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,799
Speaker 1: and Channing was saying that twas seems like a different

1363
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: quarterback right now because of the confidence that McDaniel has

1364
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: given him, and I not Hyreek Hill keeps saying, you know,

1365
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: he's more accurate than Mahomes and whether he truly believes

1366
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 1: that or not, just trying to give to us some

1367
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: confidence in what was a very poorly managed quarterback situation

1368
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: in Miami these last couple of years with Flores. When

1369
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 1: you have Fitzpatrick in two a rotating in his first year,

1370
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: and then the second year you're trading for Deshaun Watson potentially,

1371
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:25,640
Speaker 1: and there's no faith in two of there. Well, now

1372
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:27,759
Speaker 1: you have a head coach that's trying to give him confidence.

1373
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:29,600
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of weapons. It doesn't feel like

1374
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: he has to do too much because you just kind

1375
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: of getting the ball in those guys hands and let

1376
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: them do the rest. All right, Eric, thanks for joining

1389
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: as we do after every Bill's victory for the Maddie Awards,

1390
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 1: presented by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the

1391
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. It's another week of pomp and circumstance here

1392
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: Maddie after Well Bills. So we had to bring out

1393
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: the hardware again for this one. Not not to this week,

1394
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: just bringing out one, but man, oh man, what a

1395
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: game last night at high Mark. The stadium was rocking

1396
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: forty one to seven. Couldn't be anymore picturesque or beautiful

1397
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: than that great weather, great sounset. The Bills are bringing

1398
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: the energy on the field. We're gonna bring the energy

1399
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: with this segment with some awards that I'm going to

1400
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: give out. I'll start off with our first award. Yes,

1401
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: it's the Him Award. It's going to Stefan Diggs. He

1402
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 1: is Him. And for those of you who don't know

1403
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 1: the trend of I Am Him, he is Him, let

1404
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: me educate you people. Okay, Kevin Gates, he is an artist.

1405
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: He's a rapper. So if you've ever heard of him,

1406
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: he has a song that's titled I'm Him. Him is

1407
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 1: an acronym him his Imperial majesty. That's what it stands for,

1408
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:42,680
Speaker 1: his or her imperial majesty. So Stefan Diggs is him

1409
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: because twelve catches on fourteen targets for almost one hundred

1410
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: and fifty receiving yards I mean three receiving touchdowns. He

1411
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 1: scores in a few different ways. That long ball that

1412
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen threw to him was a great throw and catch.

1413
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: By those two. He is one of five players in

1414
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era to have at least three games

1415
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: with at least one hundred and forty receiving yards and

1416
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:09,759
Speaker 1: at least three receiving touchdowns in a game, the first

1417
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: player since Steve Smith, who did it in two thousand

1418
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: and seven, to have at least two hundred and fifty

1419
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 1: receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns in the first two

1420
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: games of the season. He leads the NFL right now

1421
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: with four receiving touchdowns. The stats can go on and

1422
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: on and on about Stefan Diggs and Josh Allens, So

1423
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs is him. It has been so fun to

1424
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: see him come out of the gate this season and

1425
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 1: fire on all cylinders. You could say last year was

1426
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a down year for Stefan Diggs.

1427
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: He still had a great season, of course, defenses. We're

1428
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: getting used to what he could do with the Buffalo Bills.

1429
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: I love watching him in year three with this team

1430
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: and seeing the numbers that he's been putting up already.

1431
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's favorite target, he is always open. Was watching

1432
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 1: some of the catches that he had last night. A

1433
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 1: few of the catches that he had near the sideline

1434
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: were incredible and just turning right around and picking up

1435
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: a couple extra yards after catch. He is so good

1436
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: at what he does. Yeah, and it's interesting that happened

1437
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 1: in a game where he was the most obvious option

1438
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: for the Bill Ga Davis don't double him. Yeah, you

1439
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 1: figured there's nobody else to cover. Yeah, Yeah, but they

1440
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't get it done. Also another one, another word,

1441
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:29,879
Speaker 1: mister consistent, Mister consistent. That's going to our boy, Josh Allen.

1442
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: Just when you didn't think it could get any better,

1443
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: it does. I mean, no turnovers this week for him.

1444
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Uh gets the ball out quick again. Some of his

1445
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: decision making, the way that he's able to identify a

1446
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: defense and kind of pick it apart. His connection with

1447
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs in the first two weeks has just been incredible.

1448
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 1: No Gabe Davis, no problem. It doesn't matter who's out

1449
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: on the field, He's going to find a way to

1450
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: get the ball to that receiver or to that running back.

1451
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: U last year, after the season, when we're thinking back

1452
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: on the season that Josh Allen had in year four

1453
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: and we're saying, you know, how can he be better

1454
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: in year five? Well, he's already proved how he's better

1455
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 1: in year five, which is hard to think. Every single

1456
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: year this quarterback has taken steps forward and in the

1457
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: right direction, and here he is in his fifth season

1458
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,719
Speaker 1: doing it again, looking like the best quarterback in the NFL.

1459
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a phrase, a sentence that we all

1460
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: wanted to say, one that we were unsure about when

1461
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:34,719
Speaker 1: they drafted Josh Allen and especially in his first two years,

1462
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: but has really grown into a household name and a

1463
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: player that everybody, a lot of people, no one love

1464
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I don't know if it was possible, but

1465
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: I think he is still underrated as a cerebral quarterback.

1466
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 1: I just think he's processing things so quickly, even quicker

1467
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: than he did in the last couple of years, and

1468
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: it's really making him impossible to play against because he

1469
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 1: can quickly find if answer one is not there, he

1470
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: can quickly find a solution to a play, and then

1471
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: even if some of the first two options are taken away,

1472
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:09,560
Speaker 1: he can buy time and extend the play until he

1473
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: does find an answer. Man, I'm asking him last night

1474
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: about the fourth down touchdown to Diggs, the first one,

1475
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, it's fourth down. I'm not I'm

1476
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 1: gonna go for it. Yeah, I'm not like throwing it away.

1477
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: You know. He said he would take a sack before

1478
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 1: he would just throw the ball away. That's his mindset though,

1479
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: because more often than not, he finds the answer and

1480
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,640
Speaker 1: it's usually the right answer and it results in not

1481
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 1: just a play, but a really damn good play. This

1482
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: kid was playing so good yesterday that he got taken

1483
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: out of the game against the team who was the

1484
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 1: number one seed in the a FC last year. Let

1485
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: that sink it. Take it taken out with like three

1486
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: minutes left in the third the fourth quarter. So all right, yeah,

1487
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: that was a drubbing. Next award big play Killers, Big

1488
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,639
Speaker 1: play Killers. My big thing heading into last night's game

1489
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 1: was do not give up the big play because of

1490
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: last year when they faced the Titans, they gave up

1491
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: that seventy six yard rushing touchdown to Derek Henry. That

1492
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 1: was no problem last night. They did not allow Derrick

1493
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 1: Henry to really do anything. They held Henry to the

1494
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: second fewest yards of his career. In a game where

1495
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: he had at least thirteen carries, he averaged only one

1496
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: point nine yards per carry. It was so fun to watch,

1497
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 1: and they did it without big names like Ed Oliver

1498
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 1: and then Tim Settle and then Dane Jackson comes out,

1499
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 1: and Jordan Phillips come out, comes out, and the play

1500
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 1: did not decrease at all. I want to shout out

1501
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: the linebackers Matt Milano at that an interception almost had two.

1502
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmunds also doing a great job being the second

1503
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 1: line of defense, which is so important when you're playing

1504
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: against a run a heavy team. They brought a lot

1505
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: of pressure without blitzing a lot. We were wondering, you know,

1506
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: what is it going to look like from week one

1507
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: to week two. They didn't really send a blitzer much.

1508
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: They did some. I mean Edmonds got there once, got

1509
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: a quarterback hit the second time on a blitz, but yeah,

1510
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: it was it was few and far between. I guess

1511
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,599
Speaker 1: it looks like they did blitz um after they blitz

1512
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: it all last week. Right, Yeah, it looks like Orez

1513
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 1: but it wasn't too much. But when they did, they

1514
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: were well timed um by coach Frasier. And yeah, Tremaine

1515
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 1: was the primary blitzer. He got home a couple of times,

1516
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 1: so that was good. That's right. And now the way

1517
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: this defense played really stood out. And I think that's

1518
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 1: and we've been talking about the whole show, Maddie, that's

1519
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: the reason the team is so it's different this year

1520
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 1: than it was last year. Certainly, the way the offense

1521
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: played at the end of last year was off the

1522
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 1: chain and it continues with Ken Dorsey, but the defense

1523
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: has been the difference. Yeah, I gotta give a trending

1524
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: Upwards award to Tremaine Edmonds. It has been really nice

1525
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: to see him in the first two games of the season. Uh,

1526
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: he needed to have his he needs to have his

1527
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: best season right now, and it looks like he is.

1528
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a sack, he had a couple

1529
01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: of tafels, he tipped that pass comes flying in for

1530
01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: that sack. Is just all over the place, had some

1531
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: really good tackles and talked about how much he was

1532
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: focusing on tackling heading into this game. Somebody that a

1533
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: lot of us are cheering for to be a difference maker,

1534
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 1: and we've seen that in the first two weeks. All Right,

1535
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: unsung heroes, letter rip, unsung heroes. Of course, it's the

1536
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: guys who came in when some of the starters came out.

1537
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean Greg Van Rone stepping up at center when

1538
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:30,520
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse came out, No problem there, Tyrel Dodson recovering

1539
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: that muffed punt. Some of the special teams play that

1540
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,759
Speaker 1: we saw all three phases of the game truly matter.

1541
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: And we know white Sean McDermott believes that Kyer Elam

1542
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 1: and Christian Benford coming in and holding it down when

1543
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson came out. You're gonna need depth in a

1544
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 1: long NFL season. Well, the Bills needed depth in Week

1545
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: two of the NFL season, and it showed up. Depth

1546
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 1: is so, so so important when you have guys coming

1547
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: off the field, and the play did not drop off

1548
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: at all last night with the starters that were out

1549
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,600
Speaker 1: being out and to put up forty one points and

1550
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: hold the other team to a touchdown. The depth it

1551
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: was almost a flexed last night. It was it was

1552
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 1: a great game. And then this last award is absolutely priceless.

1553
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 1: The most interesting man in the world. If you can

1554
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:26,719
Speaker 1: recall those Doseki commercials. You know, I don't always drink,

1555
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 1: but when I do, I drink Doskis. I don't always punt,

1556
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 1: but when I do, Sam Martin is my punter. Or

1557
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't always punt, but when I do, I make

1558
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: guys miss with muff punts. I mean, Sam Martin went

1559
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: two punts in his career with the Buffalo Bills so far,

1560
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:48,679
Speaker 1: and almost both of them were dropped by the Titans,

1561
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,640
Speaker 1: and one of them definitely was Tyrell Dodson recovers it.

1562
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 1: Second one almost or it was, but the Titans recovered it.

1563
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: So when I saw the replay of the second one,

1564
01:25:57,520 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: I thought, there's no way the Titans got that. They

1565
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 1: gave it to them, and the replay looked like there

1566
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: were two Buffalo Bills on it and they came up

1567
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: they said, no is the Titans ball. I was like Wow.

1568
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: After the second muff, which was by a different player

1569
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 1: by the way, Kyle Phillips had a muff week one

1570
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: had a muff here lost it and then they bring

1571
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: in the defensive back hooker to do it and he

1572
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 1: muffs it. And so people on Twitter are like, Martin's

1573
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 1: a magician? What's he doing with the ball? What Pixie does?

1574
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: Is he sprinkling on the ball that's making him drop it?

1575
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: What's he got it in? Butter? Is he dipping in?

1576
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 1: Which one of our friends, Ryan Moore, who works on

1577
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: the football side of things, will catch punts during practices

1578
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:38,679
Speaker 1: and he said Sam Martin's punts are hard to catch. Okay,

1579
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: well there it is. Well we'll get Steve out there

1580
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 1: and get your honest opinion. See what you think. All right?

1588
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 1: that is next Here on one Bills Live presented by

1589
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back.

1590
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: It is time now for the Vision to Victory. Presented

1591
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: by at Walleyecare, the official Eyecare provider of the Buffalo Bills.

1592
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: And in a game where the Bills were down their

1593
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver, they decided they were going to

1594
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 1: lean on wide receiver one, and he came through in

1595
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 1: spectacular fashion with one hundred and forty eight yards receiving

1596
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, making him the second player ever Steve to

1597
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: have two three touchdown performances on Monday Night Football. The

1598
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: only other guy to do it Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.

1599
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:00,679
Speaker 1: In a game where we hear so much about people

1600
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 1: who when the game doesn't go well, they say, well,

1601
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,640
Speaker 1: it's the play calls. They're not calling the plays the

1602
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 1: right way. When you get into a tight spot in

1603
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 1: a game like this, Gabe Davis is out, You've got

1604
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 1: other guys hurt, and you're gonna need people to step up,

1605
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:17,719
Speaker 1: don't think play calls like run or pass or blitz

1606
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: or coverage. You think players. Put your best players in

1607
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: a spot where the game is going to depend on

1608
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: their performance. They're great for one reasons because they loved

1609
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 1: those moments. And Steph Diggs was the reason for it.

1610
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 1: Last night. He was the guy that Bills needed to

1611
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: show up. The Titans knew he needed to show up,

1612
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 1: and they couldn't stop him. And he showed up, and

1613
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: he did it at all three levels of the field.

1614
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 1: Early in the game, he did it short, he did

1615
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: some intermediate work, and then late in the game he

1616
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: went deep and he said, when if you want to

1617
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: be a wide receiver one, you have to be a

1618
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,960
Speaker 1: complete receiver and be able to threaten all three levels

1619
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 1: of the field. He did that last night. His full

1620
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 1: game was on display. So good for him and congratulations

1621
