1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: At a Steve Taster who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy here, all right, welcome

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: to a midweek edition if one Bill's Live. Chris Brown

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: and Eric Wood joining me as he's in for Steve Taster,

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: and uh oh, it was good to have Eric in

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: here with us. We already did some work earlier this

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: week with some chopping wood for the Sean McDermott show.

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: But the players out on the practice field, Eric, I

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: know you listened to coach McDermott. We're gonna hear from

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: him or at least some of his comments in the

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: next segment. But here we are at midweek. I don't

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: know if you've had much of a look at Washington yet.

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: I tried to watch a little of their game last

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: week against the Giants. The thing that stood out to me,

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: maybe more than anything else, was, man, the Giants don't

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: have a lot of horses to run with. It's like

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: Blake Martinez and a bunch of guys. I just it's

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: stunning to me what has happened to that roster over

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: the last several years. I mean, Taylor Heineke had all

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: day to sit back there and pick targets. Yeah. Well,

23
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: first off, it's good being with you again this week, Chris,

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: and I hope Steve's enjoined his vacation. And I guess

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell Jay the producer if I if I could,

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: if I'm willing to co host more than twice a year,

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: I should get an intro or something and we can. Yeah,

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: we can. We can set that up, no problem. Yeah,

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: we'll figure out something there. But um no, I thought

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: the same thing. One of my best friends, Kyle Rudolph,

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: now plays for the Giants. So I tracked them enough

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: and their offensive line is decimated. Yea, and they don't

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: do a lot of moving the pocket that you know.

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Their offense isn't super o line friendly. That's something I'm

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: generally looking for. When I'm looking at offenses and people

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: are trashing an offensive line, I'll look how friendly the

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: offense might be towards the offensive Linds. It's not very friendly.

38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're right, Chris. It's like with a minimum

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: spend in the NFL and the parody with the draft order.

40
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: There's no lottery, you would assume you'd have more talent

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: on a roster than the Giants currently have. It was

42
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like you go all the way

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: back to you know, the Super Bowl teams that beat

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots with ELI and they had young vets on

45
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: that team who are coming up through the pipeline. They

46
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: chose not to pay them. Okay, you know Jason Pierre

47
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: Paul moves on among others, but they didn't replace them

48
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: through the draft. It's just it's very puzzling to me

49
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: the way they've chose to construct the roster, and now

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: it almost feels like they're playing catchup. It's almost like, oh, gosh,

51
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: we don't have enough good players, but let's just try

52
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: to find whoever we can find. They make the trade

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: for Billy Price, and no knock on Billy Price, but

54
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: he's there a week and a half and he's starting

55
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: right I'm looking through their roster right now, and if

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: someone could name six players off their defense, I'd be

57
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: super impressed. But you know, you pay a Leonard Williams

58
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: and you think you'd get some intel, and from what

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I've heard, he's not made a tremendous impact. He's not

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: playing super hard at all times up there. Well, you

61
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: think you'd get some intel from your buddies that are

62
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: you're sharing the stadium with, because he came over from

63
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: the Jets, and you know, maybe you figure that out.

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: And then Dexter Lawrence, they drafted him in the first round.

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: He hasn't been an impact player for them, you know,

66
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: And when you look around, it's it's yeah, it's it's

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: not that impressive of a defensive roster. And you're right.

68
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Those Giants teams that I played against early in my

69
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: career wholly smokes God forbid. We'd watch film of them

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: in primetime because you know, a lot of those big

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: time defensive lineman when you got Strayhand and Justin Tuck

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: and new Manor and those types of guys like they

73
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: don't show. They don't show all their best moves on

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: Sunday at one on a second, you know, maybe some

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: past pure pass rush situation. You watch them in prime

76
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: time though, and that's where when they were playing in

77
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you knew that team was gonna come alive

78
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: because those pass rushers could take over a game. Yeah,

79
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I look at Heineke and he's certainly

80
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: a capable guy. I mean, heck, he really showed me

81
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: something in that playoff game last year against the Bucks defense.

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he threw for three hundred yards and he

83
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: was he was taking some shots to make some plays.

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: So he really impressed me as a gutsy performer. And

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: it's not like he doesn't mind slinging the ball around.

86
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy through for like fifteen thousand yards

87
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: in college. It seems like they're just giving him the

88
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: same kind of free reign as they did with fits Well.

89
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: He's kind of a Fitzpatrick type quarterback to me. You know,

90
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: he's a gutsy he'll get you some yards with his legs.

91
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: You gotta always be worried about him scrambling, it seems

92
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: like to me, and you saw in the playoff game,

93
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: he's the type of guy that the guys rally around.

94
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: And Fitzpatrick is one of those guys, and Heineke seems

95
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: the exact same way. And that's what you saw in

96
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: the playoff game. And even Alex Smith prior to that

97
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: was one as well. And this is a team under

98
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera. You know, he dealt with the cancer diagnosis

99
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: last year, and that team came together. They played super hard,

100
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: so they gutted their way into the playoffs, and they

101
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: play really hard for their head coach. They love their

102
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: head coach Ron Rivera. Similar when you watch the Redskins

103
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: play football, when you especially on the defensive side the

104
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: ball in the way they fly around, it reminds you

105
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: of a Sean McDermott led defense of Leslie Frazier because

106
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: they're playing really hard for the leadership of the team.

107
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: They play really hard for Rivera. But back to Taylor Heineke.

108
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: I mean McDermott talked about it. You know, you can't

109
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: take him lightly, and you can't. He's a He's a

110
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: quarterback that can win you games in this league. I

111
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to put him up

112
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: on a pedestal, but he'll play a long time in

113
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: the NFL because he's a guy that for a long time.

114
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Teams will say, this guy can come into a game

115
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: and I know what I'm going to get from him. Yeah. Absolutely.

116
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: Some news and notes concerning the Bills. First and foremost,

117
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: after we went off the area yesterday, the Philadelphia Eagles

118
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: signed Bill seventh round picked Jack Anderson off of Buffalo's

119
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: practice squad to their active roster, and they are dealing

120
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: with some offensive line depth issues, so you understand why

121
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: they came to the Bills and tried to poach somebody

122
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and successfully did so. And kind of unfortunate. Eric. I

123
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember too much or kept too

124
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 1: close an eye on him through the course of training

125
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: camp in the preseason, but I kind of envisioned him

126
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: as a guy who would be stepping into probably a

127
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: reserve role as soon as next year. He could have

128
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: been easily a top eight or nine guy for them

129
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: next year, and so it's a shame that, you know,

130
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: they miss out on that opportunity. I mean, that guy

131
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: was a highly decorated lineman going all the way back

132
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: to high school. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a loss for

133
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: the Bills. And I didn't see who they protected. I

134
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: know they protected him the first yeah they did, season,

135
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: they did, and then they didn't protect him this week

136
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: and then he gets picked off. It's funny. I actually

137
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: talk to him before the last game and got to

138
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: say a few words to him and just giving them

139
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: some encouragement. Hey developed this year, because your time can

140
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: come down the line this and that, you know, not

141
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: all rookies play right away. You know, this is a

142
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: great path for you, whatever it may be. And so

143
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: I actually got a chance to talk to him, and yeah,

144
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: I agree. And when you look at when you pay

145
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: your quarterback that amount of money, it's not like you

146
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: can pay five big time starters on the offensive line.

147
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: So developing talent and a Jack Anderson who you had

148
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, and then a Tommy Doyle who's

149
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: on active roster, but he's been inactive those games. Developing

150
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: those guys and the guys that could play on Sundays

151
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: at least be in your top eight becomes extremely crucial. Yeah,

152
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: because they're cheap labor for lack of a better term,

153
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: getting them on their rookie contract. I mean you're talking

154
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: about the money that they handed to Josh. If you

155
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: can get a guy that can be one of your

156
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: top eight and he's on a rookie contract for the

157
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: next couple of years, advantage team because now you've got

158
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: that money to spend elsewhere to further fortify your roster.

159
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: To fill the hole on the practice squad, the Bills

160
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: brought back veteran offensive tackle Bobby Hart. Now Hart was

161
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: an interesting case here in training camp because he was

162
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: at tackle most of the time. I'm trying to remember.

163
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: For some reason, I remember a day or two where

164
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: he was lining up at guard, but I could be

165
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: wrong on that. Actually it was Jamil Douglas that was

166
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: at guard, not Bobby Hart, so he was pretty much

167
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: tackle all through training camp. In the preseason obviously didn't

168
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: make the roster, was sitting out there on the street.

169
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: So I understand why they bring that him back, because

170
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's familiar with everything that they run here,

171
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: having gone through training camp in the preseason, so if

172
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: they need him, I guess he's there to be called

173
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: up if necessary. I don't know. I was kind of

174
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: thinking more of an interior guy that they might be

175
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: looking for, knowing they lost in an interior guy and

176
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: they have Tommy Doyle, as you mentioned, on the roster,

177
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: who's essentially their fourth tackle already, So I don't know.

178
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: I was just a little puzzled that they didn't look

179
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: for more of an interior player. Yeah, and I like

180
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: that a lot was made that when the Bills cut him,

181
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins picked him up and that they were going

182
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: to try and get some intel and then they lose

183
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: thirty five to nothing. But maybe maybe now we get

184
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: some intel from Bobby Hart, we'll see how loyal he

185
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: is now to Miami, gets him intel from him for

186
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: the next game on Halloween when we play against the

187
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins again. I'm with you, though, Chris. It was an

188
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: interesting signing to me, you know, in the way Brandon

189
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Bean works. I remember seeing it, and a lot of

190
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: gems are like this. I feel like being in the staff.

191
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Maybe we're just a little bit more diligent than most.

192
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: Every Tuesday morning there are twenty guys in that locker

193
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: room going out in the field and getting to work

194
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: out in so that they can see how good of

195
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: shape everybody's in. So just because the Bills bringing Bobby

196
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Hart today does not mean that in the next week

197
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: or two they don't go back to an interior guy.

198
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Or maybe they think, Okay, now we have Tommy Doyle

199
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: at tackle, maybe we could bump Bobby Hard into guard,

200
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: and maybe that is a more natural position for him, because,

201
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: let's be honest, his struggles are primarily in past protection

202
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: on the edge, and potentially he could bump inside. Yeah,

203
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: because he doesn't. He didn't strike me as a great

204
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: space player when he was here, and so I wasn't

205
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: surprised when he didn't make the roster. Yeah, I wonder

206
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: if maybe they are looking at him maybe more inside

207
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: as an option going forward. I guess we'll find out.

208
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, your point about being is well noted because

209
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: that bottom of the roster churn is something they love

210
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: to do because it keeps everybody on their toes. Speaking

211
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: of the Miami game which you referenced, Derek, I was

212
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: taken by the comment that was made after the game

213
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: by Mario Andison who said it was the hottest game

214
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: he has ever played in. This is a guy from Birmingham,

215
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: Alabama who played at Troy University, and he said that

216
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: that was the hottest game he has ever and I

217
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: was blown away by that. I couldn't believe he couldn't

218
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: come up with a hotter game than that one having

219
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: played in the league for nine years. It may have

220
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: been a knee jerk reaction to how sweaty was coming

221
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: out of the game, because I will say this, it

222
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: was not the hottest atmosphere I've even been in, probably

223
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: as a broadcaster. I think the last time I went

224
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: down to Miami two years ago when Ryan Fitzpatrick was

225
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: playing and I was calling the game. I felt like

226
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: that game was maybe hotter, but Sunday was extremely humid

227
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: in the stadium. It was getting ready to rain, and

228
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: then it did rain, so the humidity was just sitting

229
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: in the air is really thick. There was cloud cover,

230
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: so everybody was drenched. It was amazing to me that

231
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: le By Wallace was cramping in the second quarter. Yeah,

232
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: and that early to be cramping in the game. And honestly,

233
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I was a player that struggled with cramping throughout my career.

234
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: Not to get too deep in the woods, but I

235
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: was a salty sweater, which I found out later in

236
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: my career when the Bills brought in some experts in

237
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: their human Human Performance Department or whatever they call it now,

238
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: their performance department, and they found out I was a

239
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: salty sweater. So I struggled with cramping throughout my career,

240
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: but rarely did I ever cramp up anytime before the

241
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I just kind of had to stay on.

242
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: It was amazing to be he cramped up, and then

243
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds was getting an IV at halftime. It couldn't

244
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: get out in time to get on the field for

245
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: the second half, so pretty wild I mean it was.

246
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: It was definitely humid in there. My hottest game I've

247
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: probably ever played in I would have to say one

248
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: of the Miami games. Maybe the one time we went

249
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: down to play Tampa, and I remember Greg Sianna was

250
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: their head coach. I can't. I guess Moron was likely

251
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: our head coach. The only reason I remember Greg Cianna

252
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: was their head coach was because on a screenplay, I

253
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: took one of their dbs and like drove him into

254
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: the sideline and Siano had coached against me in college

255
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: and was yelling at me, and I'm runcing back then.

256
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: We were having some fun. That's funny. Um, yeah, I

257
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: would have to see, Yeah, it's the heat. Not it's

258
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: not the heat, it's the humidity. That's the line you

259
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: throw out. I guess for last week's game, I will

260
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: say this though, humidity, maybe more than heat, just pulls

261
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: the moisture right out of your body, like you sweat

262
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: like ten times more. If it's eighty degrees and seventy

263
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: percent humidity, then you do. If it's ninety and it's

264
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: dry like it is out west down there in swamp

265
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: Land Mayre, you feel like a swamp when you come

266
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: off the field. I gotta say, though, the hottest Bills

267
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: game I've ever been around this was Week two and

268
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: it was the two thousand and eight season, right before

269
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: you got here. Week two Bills at Jacksonville. Now, I

270
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: went back and I looked up the game book on

271
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: the NFL site to see what the game time temperature was.

272
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: And I don't believe this for a second. This has

273
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: got to be wrong, But it says it was eighty

274
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: seven at kickoff with sixty percent humidity and virtually no wind,

275
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: and it says heat index ninety one. I'm just gonna

276
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: tell you in the first half, Buffalo News photographer James

277
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: McCoy fainted in the second quarter, passed out. And our cameraman,

278
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: who's our VP now, Jeff Matthews, he was shooting the game.

279
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: I came down to do post game stand ups and

280
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: stuff with him after the game. He was white as

281
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: a ghost like. He looked like he was just ten

282
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: more minutes he was going to need a chair. So

283
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: it was just unbelievably. The difference between the air temperature

284
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: and on the field was like nothing I've ever seen before.

285
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: Because from coming upstairs in the press box to downstairs

286
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: on the field. It had to be like a twenty

287
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: five thirty degree difference in field. It was unbelievable. And

288
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: guys were dropping in the game too, like cramping up,

289
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: and it was bad. It's really bad. Yeah. Yeah, and

290
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: that's a grass field. I remember in college there was

291
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: times where our our artificial turf in the field turf

292
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: similar what we have in Buffalo. It would get so

293
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: hot when I was in college that your feet would

294
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: literally be burning through the soles of your shoes, like

295
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: your feet would would hurt, almost like you're walking on

296
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: hot concrete. It was wild. Yeah, it's because of that

297
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: black rubber infill that they have now, it just retains

298
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: all the heat. Turf fields are like ten times hotter

299
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: than grass fields now. It's crazy, But yeah, that blew me.

300
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe a guy from Birmingham, Alabama said ninety degree.

301
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure it was hotter than ninety degrees

302
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: on the field, but I was shocked when you could

303
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: knocked me over with a feather with that statement that

304
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: he made about Sunday's game. I mean, it was hot,

305
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: it was humid. I'm not debating that for a second,

306
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: but man, and we did see guys succumb to it

307
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: for sure. What about what do you think about this

308
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: too as stuff? Now? So they have X rays for

309
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: him on Sunday, they're negative. They do MRI's Monday, nothing,

310
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: no cartilage damage. X rays negative, They run further tests,

311
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: apparently according to Brian Floores in his press conference today,

312
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: and now they said he's got he's got fractured ribs.

313
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how you miss that with the MRI

314
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: technology that they have. I don't either, And I don't

315
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: know if there's more to this story or what exactly

316
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: is going on there. Maybe I don't even want to

317
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: speculate and say something out of turney, you know, I

318
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: was I was gonna say, potentially, you know, maybe he

319
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: was going to try and play, and so they were

320
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: gonna maybe protect him a little bit and say the

321
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: ribs weren't broken. And now they're realizing he can't play,

322
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: and they don't want to make him look bad and

323
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: look soft because he can't play. And now you have

324
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: your number five overall draft pick and he's too soft

325
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: to play with just bruised ribs and not cracked ribs

326
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: or fractured or broken. I don't know, what the deal is.

327
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: But you know the way he came off the field

328
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: having to be carted to the locker room, I just

329
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: assumed at the very least he had broken his ribs,

330
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: which is extremely painful for anybody to play through. Obviously,

331
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: with the way the quarterbacks rotate, the way they get

332
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: hit often, and he was going to continue to get

333
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: hit off in that game, it was not going to

334
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: be safe for him to stay in that game. In college,

335
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: I had broken ribs lower back. They're actually your floating ribs.

336
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: They don't protect an organ or anything. So if you

337
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: can withstand the pain, you can play through them. So

338
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: I had forty nine starts in a row at center

339
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: in college. I didn't miss the single game, but there

340
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 1: was many games similar to the couple I played with

341
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: broken ribs that weren't very fun. And I'll say this,

342
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: I let my pride get in the way of me

343
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: for a minute too, because they had originally put me

344
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: in a quarterback jacket to protect my ribs. Well, quarterbacks

345
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: don't look bad in quarterback jackets because they're then Well,

346
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: when you weigh three hundred and ten pounds and you

347
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: put on a quarterback jacket, you look I looked bigger

348
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: than Richie out there, and so you look like from

349
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: like a fast food restaurant that we know exactly. So

350
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: I didn't play the quarterback jacket because I couldn't stand

351
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: how big I looked with it on, and I couldn't

352
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: move real well. And so I played multiple games with

353
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: broken ribs, and that is awful. I remember when Fitz

354
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: did his buffalo just to give some reference for a quarterback,

355
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: and just anytime he would get out of breath and

356
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: would be breathing hard, he would have to take a

357
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: moment in the huddle before he could even call the play.

358
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: It was in so much pain. I can relate because

359
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: I broke my ribs nine and ten last Christmas Eve.

360
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: I did a wipeout on my staircase. Bananappealed my stock

361
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: like was loose, and I banan appealed it. And the

362
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: first thing I landed on was the edge of a

363
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: step right between two ribs, and I split him. I

364
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: don't know, And did I want to persevere and still

365
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: get all the Christmas presents out? Fortunately that had been

366
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: done already. Good. I don't know how the heck you

367
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: played a football game with broken ribs. I have newfound

368
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: respect for you, Eric would because I gotta tell you

369
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: me just coming into work doing this and trying to

370
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: control my breathing in such a way because you know,

371
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: in this business you got to project your voice. I

372
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: even had trouble doing that because if I breathed deeply

373
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: to project and get a full sentence out, I was like, oh,

374
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: like I was. That was hard. I can't How the

375
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: hell did you play a football game with broken ribs

376
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: on offensive line, twisting and turning three? How the hell

377
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: did you do that? Your adrenaline is going so much

378
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: when you're playing, you feel it, but it wasn't quite

379
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: as bad. You know, you're taking anti inflammatory spendulers and

380
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: all that. The worst part for me was sleeping and

381
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: it'd be like the bed of the night and I

382
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: cracked mine. So occasionally they'd shift, and that was by

383
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: far the worst part was sleeping, because it's like once

384
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: you finally relaxed, then you they would kind of settle,

385
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: and that little, that little settling was I can still

386
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: think back to that. That, Yeah, that was miserable. Sean

387
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: McDermott asked me before the before the home opener. I'm

388
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: talking to him down on the field and the stadiums

389
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 1: starting to fill up and the team's about to run

390
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: out of the tunnel. I'm gonna head back up to

391
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: the press box. And he looked at me and said,

392
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: do you miss it? And I said, I do moments

393
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: like this, like, of course I miss this. But I'll

394
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: tell you a couple of things I don't miss. I

395
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: don't miss getting hurt, and I really don't miss when

396
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: the season's over and you rehab all off season. It

397
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: felt like every year, even if you were healthy, you're

398
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: getting something cleaned up, you have something to rehab all offseason,

399
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: and it's like those are the times that I have

400
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: to remind myself, like there's perks of being in the NFL,

401
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: and there's perks of being out of the NFL and

402
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: not dealing with all the junk and injuries that you

403
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: deal with throughout a season and then even the off season.

404
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: That's why I was too much for Andrew Luck. He's like,

405
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: I just can't mentally deal with it. Every year he

406
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: was just he couldn't handle it. That's why. And I've

407
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: been Yeah, I've been. I've been there, Chris, honestly, and

408
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: I always came back from it and I didn't quite

409
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: have the spotlight or the pressure that he had being

410
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: number one overall pick and the whole franchise is relying

411
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: on you. So that's a different situation. But man, you

412
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: when he came out and said that, I honestly had

413
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for him to just admit it,

414
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of times where it just truly stinks.

415
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, and not that this is the same situation,

416
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: but man, I mean I feel like for me personally,

417
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: these next couple weeks, we're gonna be really special. They're

418
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: gonna be home games against former quarterbacks that I played

419
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: multiple seasons with in Buffalo, which is rare. They're the

420
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: only two I played multiple seasons with them as full

421
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: time starters, Tyrod and Fits, And now neither of them

422
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: are coming in of injury, and I'm texting them both

423
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: individually like, well, I guess we'll have to get together

424
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: for dinner in this offseason or something, guys, Yeah, Because

425
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Fitz has got to be pretty immobilized right

426
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: with that. He is he just confined to a chair

427
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: pretty much or just popping around the house or can

428
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: he get into work at all or what's the deal? Yeah?

429
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: He said, well, I'm assuming he's out and about because

430
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: he said the worst part is trying to get in

431
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: and out of the car right now. But you know,

432
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: my thing on both of those are those two guys

433
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: do not come out of the games with with with

434
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: just nicks. Like. They're just both really really, really tough players.

435
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: They both have a lot of pride in the fact

436
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: that they're available each and every week. And so when

437
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: Fitz left the game and was able to walk off

438
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: the field, I thought, man, that's a really bad sign

439
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: because the fact that he's leaving but he can still walk,

440
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: like I know, because he's mobile enough, Like I figured

441
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: he would stay in the game if it wasn't pretty serious.

442
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: And then with Tyrod not being able to come back

443
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: in the game, I knew that was serious too. And

444
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: when they said it was a hamstring, I'm like, well,

445
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Tyrod would sit in the pocket and just man up

446
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: if it wasn't a something you could make a lot worse.

447
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: Which I don't know what grade they said it was.

448
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm assuming two or worse. Yeah, I mean they put

449
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: him on IR, so I mean it's at least three weeks. Yeah,

450
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: so that's probably a grade two or worse hamstring. Yeah, man.

451
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: And the thing with the Dolphins, just to wrap up

452
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: the two a conversation. We've talked about it Steve and

453
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: I on this show. Their first five games are a gauntlet.

454
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they're pretty fortunate they got that win in

455
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: week one. You know, obviously they got whacked by the Bills.

456
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: Now they got to go to Las Vegas. They looked

457
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: like an improved team defensively, for sure, they're gonna get preset.

458
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: And then the next week they got to play India

459
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: at home, which may be perceived as an easier game

460
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: if Wentz isn't playing, but then they got to go

461
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: to Tampa the next week. I mean, they could be

462
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: staring one in four in the face by the time

463
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: they get a week six. And I don't want to

464
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: say you shouldn't have won a game in the NFL,

465
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: because it works out how it works out. But New

466
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: England had the ball inside the ten yard line and

467
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: they're only down one point with less than three minutes

468
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: to go. Like, to me, they're extremely fortunate to get that.

469
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: You said they were fortunate to get the first win

470
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: of the season. I mean they are extremely fortunate to

471
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: have gotten that win. Yeah, and I mean if they didn't,

472
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: they could have been over. And then it's then as

473
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: a head coach, you're just trying to keep the wheels

474
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: from falling off at that point. With all the changes

475
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: they made, especially to their captains last year, they jettison's

476
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: like five of their eight captains from last year's team,

477
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: new leadership and all that stuff, you know, and two

478
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: has got the wheel, but now he's gonna be out. Man.

479
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: It's just that thing could be teetering very quickly if

480
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: this week's game doesn't go well and Brissette is a

481
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: backup for a reason, you know, yeah, yeah, one more

482
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: thing on the Dolphins and two it's it's interesting to

483
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: me how willing, Leslie Fraser and Sean McDermott were to

484
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: bring pressure throughout that game, like almost like we know,

485
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: we know if we bring pressure, and they were showing

486
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: pressure too, so it was almost like we can predict

487
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: where he wants to go with this matchup, we can

488
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: take it away and we can get there in time.

489
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: Excellent game planning. For those watching on TV, you get

490
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: to see right there, that's the first play of the game.

491
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: They fire Terren Johnson off the slot, they bring Mike

492
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: a hide the third play of the game and get

493
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: the sack. Like to me, they blitzed a lot more

494
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: than you generally see their defense. And I don't know

495
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: if that's an indication of what they think of Tuah

496
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: as a decision maker. I don't know if it's what

497
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: they think of Godzie and Studsville as offensive coordinators. But

498
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: they were not afraid to take chances in that game. Well,

499
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: it's like we were talking on the roundtable on the

500
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: pregame radio show on Sunday, Eric, I mean, we were

501
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: talking about if you take away to his first read,

502
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: that's when he runs into problems with his decision making.

503
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: And I thought they did an excellent job of shutting

504
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: off not only the first read, but on blitzes. They

505
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: would shut off his hot too, whether they're dropping Rousseau,

506
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,239
Speaker 1: you know, and bringing Milano. But they dropped Rousseau right

507
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: into that hot zone wherever TWA was supposed to go

508
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: with the ball on a blitz. Now he has nothing

509
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: there and it's like he didn't know where to go

510
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: after that. And I gotta tell you, I think the

511
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: Bills are going to take the say a similar approach

512
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: with Heinke this week after watching the way he sat

513
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: back in the pocket last week against the Giants and

514
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: through for over three hundred yards. They ain't got me

515
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: coming after him too. You know, it would surprise me

516
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: if they take some inspiration from that game the rest

517
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: of the season too, Chris, you know what they did

518
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: in taking away his hot, Like, I know, it's Tuah

519
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: and we're playing. You know you're gonna play better quarterbacks

520
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: than him throughout the rest of the season. But what

521
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: the Bills can do? You know, obviously we know that

522
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: the Bills can play a great bend, but don't break

523
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: game plan. They prevent big plays, they confuse people with

524
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: their z own coverage and whatnot, and then they try

525
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: and get home with four. And I loved how they

526
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: used that seven up look multiple times in the game.

527
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: One time, the first time they bring Micah Hadden, they

528
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: dropped Tremaine and Rousseau. Another time later in the game,

529
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: they brought all seven on a true cover zero blitz,

530
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: which you never see Sean McDermot and Leslie Frazier go

531
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: cover zero. That was a thing of beauty to see.

532
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: And when they were up multiple scores, it reminds me

533
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: of a classic Bill Belichick move. Where you put stuff

534
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: on tape that maybe you wouldn't do if it was

535
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: a tie ball game. But now every team has to

536
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: prepare for them to run cover zero blitzes, even though

537
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: it's not something they traditionally do. You put it on

538
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: tapes and now you got to prepare for it. It

539
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me to see more blitzing. I just thought

540
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: like last year the Bills were fairly vanilla and the

541
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: sack numbers came later in the season, but early in

542
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: the season they really struggled on their sack numbers. I

543
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: think you might see the Bills get more creative this year. Yeah.

544
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: And what I liked was like every week, it seemed

545
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: last year you'd see Tremaine and Matt in those A gaps,

546
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, standing up at the line. Last week, they

547
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: like flipped it. They had like Jerry and Greg Rousseau

548
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: in the A gaps and they put Milano and Edmonds outside.

549
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: And Edmonds is pretty much the equivalent of Rousseau anyway,

550
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: with the length. So I like I like that creativity. Yeah.

551
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: I think it was the third play of the game.

552
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: They had three defensive linement to one side. They had

553
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: Milano and Tremaine in the A and B gap to

554
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: the left of the center, then the d N then Micah.

555
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: And it's little nuances like that Chris that can drive

556
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: a center or back whoever is trying to diagnose the protections.

557
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: You know, those just little things can confuse guys that

558
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: sometimes you get free hitters. And I'm surprised that the

559
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: Bills didn't use some strategy in getting some guys in

560
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: some single digit numbers and some off track numbers, because

561
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,479
Speaker 1: that can make it difficult as well, when you have

562
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: an outside linebacker that's wearing a single digit number or

563
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, something where it's not a known pass rusher number. Yeah,

564
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: I know. Josh was asked about that last week. We

565
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: know Brady has been very outspoken about how it bothers

566
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: him and he's annoyed by it. Josh said he didn't

567
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: like it either. Is it just because it's harder to

568
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: identify at the line pre snap? You know, so and

569
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: so is the mic this guy's something else? And is

570
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: that the it's an identification deal? Is that what it is? Yeah,

571
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: exactly so. A lot of times what offensive lines of

572
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are trying to diagnose is how many big guys

573
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: how many non corners non safety are in the game.

574
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: And if there's only five of them, generally we're going

575
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: to those five. If they're six and four on one

576
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: side and there's two down linemen on the other, we're

577
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna slide to the four. We'll take three of the

578
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: most dangerous four big guys. Well, when you start putting

579
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: those big guys in defensive back numbers and they all

580
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: kind of look the same as far as height and weight,

581
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: it becomes confusing. You know, I remember in the preseason

582
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: it would get really tough to identify now who were

583
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: the known rushers. And then you know, we'll generally get

584
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: stats like, hey, they fire their inside linebackers this amount

585
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: of time and the nickel this amount of time whatever,

586
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: and then you'll base your protections off of that. And

587
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: if it's hard to identify who the nickel is, who

588
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: the sam linebacker is waiting, is that guy is safe

589
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: here or is he the nickel? And that can make

590
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: it that can make it harder, especially when you're you know,

591
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: and it's easy for us to talk about it right here.

592
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: It's easy to have a clicker in your hand and

593
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: looking at a screen. It becomes tough when they're six

594
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: seconds left on the play clock. You got to make

595
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: a really quick decision, and you're trying to scramble to

596
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: figure out who it is. Okay, all right, that makes sense,

597
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: I get it. I guess what you got to do though,

598
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: is I know we're up against the break here. I

599
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: guess you kind of in a way. You got to

600
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: commit to memory, you know, oh nine as a linebacker

601
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: or something, and just go into the game that way,

602
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: so as soon as you see him, there's instant recognition,

603
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: knowing the time constraints that you're under that you just mentioned.

604
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: All right, interesting, Interesting, I'm glad I asked you that question.

605
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but we did

606
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: want to pass along to you very quickly the Twitter

607
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: conversation for today, for you through the first two games

608
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: of the season, who has impressed you the most? We

609
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on that. It's open ended.

610
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: We don't have choices for you. You make the choice

611
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: and tell us why so, who has impressed you the

612
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: most during the early part of the Bills season eight

613
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two,

614
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: five fifty or you can hit us up on the

615
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: tweet sheet at One Bill's Live. We'll take a break here,

616
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we're gonna hear from Sean

617
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: McDermott on some of his more notable comments from when

618
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: he met the media just prior to practice less than

619
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: an hour ago. That's coming up next year on One

620
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Kalota Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

621
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: All right back here on One Bills Live Wednesday edition.

622
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: Eric Would joining me and for Steve Tasker, and we

623
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: wanted to get you some of coach mcdermot's comments from

624
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 1: his press conference today as he addressed the media prior

625
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: to practice which is going on now. And coach naturally

626
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: and pretty expectedly was asked about Washington's big time, ultra

627
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: talented defensive front, which is comprised of four first round picks.

628
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: So here is Coach McDermott on that Washington defensive line,

629
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: and where do you want to start a lot of

630
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: first round picks up front, a lot of depth, first

631
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: and second rounders all in the front front. Four so

632
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: highly talented. The numbers speak for themselves, the tape speaks

633
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: for itself. You know, we've got to we've got to

634
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: do a good job there. If we want to have

635
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: a chance, Yo, Eric, I mean this is a group

636
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: that really needs doesn't need any pub. I mean these

637
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: guys have had pub forever being who they are. How

638
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: much do you think Week one, going against all first

639
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: round picks will serve as kind of a run up

640
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: to this week where maybe, you know, this offensive front

641
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: is a little bit more ready for what they might see.

642
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: I know every defensive line is different, but talent wise,

643
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: this is pretty comparable to that Pittsburgh front. Yeah, definitely

644
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: is where you have talent coming off both the edges

645
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: and then you have some impact guys inside that can

646
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: rush the passer as well. So it's it's fairly similar.

647
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't think any of their into your guys are

648
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: as good as Cam Heyward, and you know, Chase Young

649
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: is probably comparable to t J. Watt and Melvin Ingram

650
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: for the Steelers, gave the Bill some fits. You know,

651
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: I think as far as the offensive goes for the Bill,

652
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: you have a similar test. Okay, so what do you

653
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: do differently this time? And you'd like to think Dion

654
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: Dawkins getting some game reps after you know, him saying

655
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: that he wasn't fully back for that Pittsburgh game. Maybe

656
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: last week he was able to get some reps, get

657
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: some confidence back, you know, feel what it feels like

658
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: to be himself again. Hopefully that'll benefit him heading into

659
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: this week. But I think you're going to see some

660
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: of what we saw last week, and that was some

661
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: chip help, even on Dion Dawkins side, which we haven't

662
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: seen a lot in the past. And I think you'll

663
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: see a little bit more run, a little bit more

664
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: play action, which will all be friendlier to the offensive line.

665
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: And you know, the old line caused the issues, but

666
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: when you have five holding calls and you're backing yourself up,

667
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: putting yourself in obvious past situations, that becomes really difficult

668
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: for the offensive line. And that contributed to a lot

669
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: of those hit sack pressure numbers that the Bills had. Well,

670
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: not to mention the fact that they went empty thirteen times,

671
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: empty backfield thirteen times. I mean, unless you bring the guy,

672
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: you bring the back back into the backfield prior to

673
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: the snap, everybody on the other side of the ball

674
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: knows it's a pass. So because you're not even doing

675
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: a designed run necessarily with only five blockers up front

676
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: for Josh, So yeah, and they did go less empty

677
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: last week, which I liked. They were far more balanced

678
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: last week, as you know, I mean thirty three passes

679
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: thirty runs. And it's funny because we were having this

680
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: conversation on the show yesterday Maddie and I should the

681
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: Bills continue to be a more balanced offense going forward?

682
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: And my answer was for this week they should for

683
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: some of the very reasons you just talked about. Yeah,

684
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: and the fact that Washington has great corners just like

685
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: the Dolphins did and so and Devin Singletary started off

686
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: this season great, Zach Mosso it's good last week, and

687
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: so for those reasons, I think you continue to run

688
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: the football. And to your point about the empty sets,

689
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: I think there's definitely a time and place for them.

690
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: Josh has been great out of those. Brian day Ball

691
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: likes them, and the main reason he likes is because

692
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: when you put Dawson Knox or dev In Singletary outside

693
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: of the receivers, you get an easy read on what

694
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: the coverage is for the most part, whether it's man

695
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: or zone. And so for that reason, Josh is able

696
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: to pick up the coverage immediately and so then based

697
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: upon whatever they do with motion. He already knows what

698
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: the coverage is and now he can make quicker decisions. Well,

699
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: when the ball's not coming out of your hands quickly

700
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: like it wasn't in the first game, then it becomes

701
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: a nightmare situation for the old line, which it was

702
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: in week one, because they know it's a pass. Oftentimes,

703
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: as an offensive line, as an offensive lineman, you don't

704
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: really mind the empty set because you know the ball

705
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: is going to get out really fast. In theory, yeah,

706
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: I mean the other thing too, and correct me if

707
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Eric. When you got those empty sets and

708
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: you put Knox and the back al wide, like you

709
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: were saying, you also open up the middle of the

710
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: field for your slot guys like Cole right, because you're

711
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: pulling a linebacker out of the middle of your defense

712
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: to go cover the back exactly. And so now you

713
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: have the middle of field more open. And then a

714
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: lot of times when it's zone, now you're spreading out

715
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: the corner and you have them over Knox and Singletary

716
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: and you get the nickel outside and now you have

717
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: whoever you want, call it Beasley in the slot working

718
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: on a linebacker, and that's a I mean, they're just

719
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: a fish out of water when they're trying to keep

720
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: up with Cole when he's on an option route where

721
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: his whole route concept is to make the guy wrong

722
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: who's not nearly as quick as him. Yeah, all right,

723
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: good to know going forward. The other comment from coach McDermott,

724
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: we wanted to pass along to you. Naturally, he was

725
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: asked about his prior working relationship with a guy he

726
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: still considers as one of his mentors in Ron Rivera,

727
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Washington football team. So here

728
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: is coach McDermott on their relationship, which continues with frequent

729
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: contact even today. I just go, I think it goes

730
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: to the person of who Ron Rivera is in terms of,

731
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't think he knows at all. He's

732
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: humble enough to approach the game and building his program

733
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: from a Hey, you know, tell me how you did

734
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: it over over there, and so, whether it was talking

735
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: to me or Brandon, he's close with both both of us.

736
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: So and then as I mentioned the other day, Marty

737
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: Herney as well. So, um, you know, I think we've

738
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: learned so much from them and what we took out

739
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: of our time together in Carolina and it's probably two

740
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: thirds of that and then they learned maybe a little bit,

741
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: a little smidge of maybe from us a little bit,

742
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: but but most of it we learned from them. So

743
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: he was he was being asked because Ron Rivera said

744
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: yesterday when he met the media that he actually called

745
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: Sean and Brandon and said, Hey, look, I really like

746
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: what you guys have built there. How did you build it?

747
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: And I think it's just Ron Rivera, you know, being

748
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: humble enough to say, well, yeah, because some people might

749
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: be like, ah, this guy came in like five years

750
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: after me. I got eight years more experienced at this

751
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: level than he does. I know what I'm doing over

752
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: here where. I think he's taking a very open minded

753
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: approach to say, I'm trying to build this new thing

754
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: here in Washington, and yes I've been success before, but

755
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: every build is different, as you well know Eric in

756
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I think he's looking to pull from

757
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: wherever he can to build it now, maybe in a

758
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: much different way than he built that Carolina team seven

759
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: eight years ago. Yeah. I think great leaders in general

760
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: always are always learners, and that if someone is ahead

761
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: of you in a process at any time, you can

762
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: learn from them, then you do it. You know, there's

763
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: there was bumps in the road with Sean and Brandon

764
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 1: that now Ron Rivera can learn from as well. It's

765
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: amazing to me that they were both under the Andy

766
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: Reid tree, and it's it's amazing to me. And we

767
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: could fill a whole show on this and we won't,

768
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: but it's amazing to me how all these coaches come

769
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: from the Belichick tree. And Brian Flores had success in

770
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: his first year down to Miami, but for the most part,

771
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: these Belichick coaches have not done anything. And then you

772
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: look around at the Andy Reid disciples and you got

773
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: John Horball and Ron Rivera and Sean McDermott, and you know,

774
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: Naggie Peterson wins a Super Bowl and you know, see

775
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: Frank Reich. You know, you look at all these guys

776
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: have had all the success. It's like, is Andy Reid

777
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: giving them more responsibilities? He's teaching them more whatever it

778
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: may be. It's just amazing to me that we would

779
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: all consider. I think people it's a general concess. Is

780
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's is the best coach out there, maybe the

781
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: best of all time. But then his disciples, his coaching

782
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: tree isn't nearly as successful as others. Yeah, that is true.

783
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: It's interesting to say the least. Do you wonder what

784
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: happens with the relationship after they leave, Like do they

785
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: have those conversations like we just heard Ron Rivera and

786
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott talking about. I don't know, MA be interesting

787
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: to see. It's like I, once you leave, I got

788
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: to turn my back on you, like something out of

789
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,479
Speaker 1: the Godfather or something. I think we could probably guess there,

790
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: but I know, yeah, right. Coach McDermott flipping it around,

791
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: was not only asked about Washington's defensive line, he was

792
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: asked about his own defensive lines play through the course

793
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: of two weeks, and while there were very encouraging signs

794
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: in each of the first two games, naturally, as most

795
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: of us expected, coach McDermott was pumping the brakes a

796
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: little bit here. I've seen some good and I've seen

797
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: some things that we have to improve, just like our team, right,

798
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: So I'm seeing a start to them understanding the importance

799
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: of gap integrity and stopping the run and and in

800
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: order to rush the pastor you got to be able

801
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: to stop the run on early downs there. So that's

802
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: earned in terms of the pass rush piece of it.

803
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 1: So I think that's really where we're at. I'm seeing

804
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: some some older guys really fitting into a mix of

805
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: younger guys, and I think Coach Washington and Kachhiser are

806
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: doing a good job of managing that. And is this

807
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: like right out of the Coach McDermott playbook here, somebody

808
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: is all enamored with big pass rush numbers from Week

809
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: two by the Bill six sacks, eleven quarterback hurries. I

810
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: think they had like twenty total quarterback pressures, some ridiculous

811
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: fat numbers. And there's coach and what's the first thing

812
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: he says, Well, we did some good things, but there

813
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: are some things to improve on, and then he goes

814
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: right into gap integrity and run defense completely the other

815
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: direction from what everybody's excited about, which is the Bills

816
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: pass rush. Yeah, but honestly, he makes a good point.

817
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: And I listened to this when it was live earlier,

818
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: and as soon as he brought it up, I started

819
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, you know, last year, the Bills gave

820
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: up over four and a half yards to carry, and

821
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: on this season they're giving up three point six yards

822
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: per carry. And so they're getting more opportunities to rush

823
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: the pastor this year, as opposed to when you get

824
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: to a third and two and you don't know if

825
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: you can just pin your ears back and rush the

826
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: pastor if you have to play the run as well.

827
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: And so I think he makes a good point there.

828
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: He's always going to slow play things, and you gotta

829
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: love that about coach mcderbott. But you know, I think

830
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people deserve credit for this. The individual

831
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: players deserve a lot of credit. And then I think

832
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: the scheme's been great as well in generate some pressure

833
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: with some stunts up front, some blitzes, some pressures, right,

834
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I don't have to tell

835
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: him this. He's certainly smart enough to know that the

836
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: circumstances in the game only catered to more of this

837
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: pressure happening because the score got so lopsided and Miami

838
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: was in an all out pass mode, which only fed

839
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: into some of the numbers that we saw. Yes, the

840
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: players have to go out and still execute it, but

841
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: I think everybody in the building and everybody watching at

842
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: home on television knew the Dolphins had to air it

843
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: out if they even wanted to have a hope of

844
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: climbing back into the game in any way, shape or form,

845
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: and that obviously caters to your past rush production as well.

846
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

847
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: come back, we'll take our first look at the tweet cheeks,

848
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,400

00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: guys on this roster, pick a player, let us know

851
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: who it is. At eight oh three fifty one, eight

852
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty and the start of

853
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,560

874
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet. Chris Brown, Eric Wood with you

875
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 1: here on a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live, and

876
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 1: we are asking you who has impressed you the most

877
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: during the early part of this bill season. We're two

878
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: games in and maybe some players have put up some

879
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: more production than maybe you anticipated. So who's impressed you?

880
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: Jack leads us off, and the tweet sheets always brought

881
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company

882
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, and Jack says most impressed by

883
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: Rousseau and Epanessa both look like the core of a

884
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 1: solid defensive line for years. AJ looks like a completely

885
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: different player, lighter, faster, wronger to raise hell in the backfield.

886
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: Groot is better than advertised. I thought it might take

887
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: him some time, but he is flying out there. So Eric,

888
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: let me put this to you first. The Bills have

889
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: said when they drafted Epinessa, he was like a two

890
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pound college player at Iowa. He was

891
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: largely a power rusher, and they basically said to him,

892
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: we want you to drop twenty pounds because we believe

893
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: you can be an even better player, a more diverse

894
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: pass rusher at that weight. That's a hell of a projection.

895
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about college scouting and that kind

896
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: of stuff. It's one thing to project a guy as

897
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: he is and what kind of player he will be

898
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 1: like that in the NFL. To take it a step

899
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: further and say we think he could be even a

900
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: better player at a lighter weight, that is a big

901
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: time projection and somewhat of a risk, right it is,

902
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: because you could play AJ Panessa and run downs and

903
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: for a second round draft pick, he could be a

904
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty five pound defensive end rushed the

905
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: passer a little bit when you need him to maybe

906
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: bump him inside, but he would be that heavy handed

907
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: guy that you primarily put over the tight end, push

908
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: him back in the backfield, and then let your open

909
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: end defensive end rush off the other edge. The Bills

910
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: primarily will use a right and a left defensive end,

911
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: but you could do that with Evanessa. You could make

912
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: him your strong side defensive end. So yes, it is

913
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: a risk to say, hey, when we want you to

914
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: get down to two sixty two sixty five, we're going

915
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: to take some of your power element out of your

916
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: game just because I mean, I could tell you I

917
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: don't care how strong you are. If you're if you're lighter,

918
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: you're easier to move in the run game period. I

919
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: don't care how much you can bench press. If you

920
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: don't have that mass with you, we can move you

921
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: in the run game if you're lighter. So they're saying, hey,

922
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: we think you could be more effective in through two

923
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: weeks and the preseason, that's been the early indication that

924
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: he's improved. You know, when you say it looks like

925
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: we have the core, I mean, I'm glad we still

926
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: have the veterans in Addison, Obada and Hughes out there

927
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: because those guys have the experience in big moments. I

928
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: probably trust Greg Russo a little bit more than Epinessa

929
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: to be an every down player right now. But you

930
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: gotta love what you see based upon the fact that

931
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: he was so ineffective last year. But last year was

932
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: such a different year. He got no OTAs, he got

933
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: no time at the facility that that would have been

934
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: time he could have developed. And heck, they could have

935
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: had him lose fifteen pounds last summer and maybe he

936
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: would have been more effective as a rookie. What can

937
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: we say about Greg Russeau and the amount of time

938
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: he is getting on the field he's getting. I mean,

939
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: he got the most snaps out of anybody this past week.

940
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: He played a ton in Week one. And this isn't

941
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: a guy that is blessed with an inordinate amount of

942
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: college football experience. This guy was a one year starter

943
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: at Miami and here he is and it looks like

944
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: he's already earned a wealth of trust with this defensive staff. Yeah,

945
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like the Bills did their homework

946
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: and found out that Greg Russo was putting in some

947
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: work last season, and while he was not with Miami's team,

948
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: and for good reason, and I'm sure you guys have

949
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: well documented his mom's and nurse and there was reasons

950
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: that he opted out last year, but other than the

951
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: fact that he wanted to just say, hey, I'm done

952
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: with college football, me to go to the pros. I

953
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: got the chance to talk to him two years ago

954
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: when I was covering the AEC network. Loved him as

955
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: a kid, loved the way he played the game, and

956
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm obviously glad now that the Bill has drafted him

957
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: to see him flourishing at the NFL level as well.

958
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: And I would have projected him out to do that

959
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: and would have likely rooted for him no matter where

960
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: he was, just being the type of player in person

961
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: that he is. Yeah, it's just it's I think it's

962
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: very telling because all we've heard from coach McDermot and

963
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: his staff is everything is earned here. And to see

964
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: someone like Rousseau who short on college game experience, so

965
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: you might think it might take a little longer, you know,

966
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: for him to get through that learning curve. Checkbox on

967
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: the learning curve number one and then checkbox number two

968
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: earning on the field in training camp in the preseason.

969
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there aren't many guys that have done that

970
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: in their time here under coach McDermott and Leslie Frasier.

971
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: Tredavius White is won, but Matt Mlano had to take

972
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: some time before he took the starting job away from

973
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: Ramon Humber. Tremaine Edmonds is probably the only other example,

974
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: and Rousseau is the third. And then you know even

975
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: at Oliver had to platoon a little bit before he

976
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: was in that defensive lineup and getting strict time. I mean,

977
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 1: it really says something that Rousseau has coming along this quickly.

978
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: All Right, we have to take a break. When we

979
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: come back from Fox Sports. One of the guys that's

980
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: going to be in the broadcast booth right next to

981
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: Eric's booth, Moose Johnston, will be joining us from Fox Sports.

982
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: He's doing the game on Sunday and he'll be giving

983
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: you Washington Buffaloes who will talk to him about Sunday's

984
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: game when we come back. Here are on one Bill's

985
00:49:50,960 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: Live presented by Colloid. To help It's Buffalo Bill's Radio

986
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: at a Steve Tasker who has been all over the

987
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:13,959
Speaker 1: field kind of unique. He was kind of a dual

988
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not

989
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: even in the stratore of normalcy here, all right, Here

990
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 1: we are our number two, Chris Brown, along with Eric

991
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: Good who's stepping in capably for one Steve Tasker. And

992
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, Eric, but the

993
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 1: preliminary Hall of Fame Class of twenty two nominee list

994
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: came out and there are a host of former Bills

995
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: on that list, including one Stephen A Tasker and a

996
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: couple of his former teammates Cornelius Bennett and Ruben Brown

997
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: on the initial nominee list, along with London Fletcher to

998
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: Kyo Spikes and Troy Vincent who laid here briefly in

999
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: his illustrious career. So good for them. We'll see how

1000
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: far they can go, as we know that the list

1001
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: gets whittled down pretty quickly to semi finalists and finalists.

1002
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: They got a bunch in the last couple of years

1003
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: here with the centennial class followed by the twenty twenty

1004
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: one class. But yeah, we'll be pushing Steve all the

1005
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: way here. I can't tell you how many calls we

1006
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: get from fans that are like, oh, and by the way,

1007
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: Steve should be in the Hall of Fame. The interesting

1008
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: thing though, Eric this year is I believe Devin Hester

1009
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: is on that list as well, And that is another

1010
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: special teamer who I think is going to get a

1011
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: lot of consideration. Being the all time return touchdown leader

1012
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: in NFL history, He's gonna get He's gonna get some consideration.

1013
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah. I mean, obviously I have a bias opinion.

1014
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: I love Steve, have known him for a while, We're buddies,

1015
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: so I understand there's some bias there, But I do

1016
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: feel like if you're the best at what you did

1017
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: all time in the NFL, whether that is coach, you

1018
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: can make it to the Hall Fame, whether that is

1019
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: own a team, you could make it to the All Fame,

1020
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: whether that's now kick a football, you can make it

1021
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. We showed that. Yep, Okay,

1022
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: well you're the best at what you've done, then you

1023
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: can get in the Hall of Fame. And Steve Tasker

1024
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: is the best of what he's done. Maybe this is

1025
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: a year that Devin Hester goes in and it just

1026
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: opens it up further for special teamers in the future,

1027
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 1: which would lead Steve to get in, right, I mean yeah,

1028
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 1: when you're the guy that's on the highlight reels returning

1029
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 1: the touchdowns, I could see a way that maybe Hester

1030
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: could possibly get in before Steve. I don't I wouldn't

1031
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: agree with it, but because I kind of believe, I

1032
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe I believe in a senior already deal here,

1033
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: and I think we've all shown or been shown that

1034
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: that's not the way it works with the Pro Football

1035
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame selectors, and we don't need to get

1036
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: into Steve's credentials here. But I don't know, maybe we

1037
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: gotta start some kind of campaign, gotta get on the

1038
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: bus early here and start pumping it up, because there

1039
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: are going to be more guys like this, not to

1040
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: mention the fact, Eric that you got guys like Adam Vinati,

1041
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: who I think is going to get appropriate consideration and

1042
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: is deserving among others. So yeah, I mean, it is

1043
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: a part of me that almost wants to get him

1044
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: in sooner rather than later so he doesn't get passed

1045
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: over so to speak for other special teamers. You know

1046
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Yeah,

1047
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: So We'll see where that goes, but good to see

1048
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: him on the list again, along with as we said,

1049
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: Cornelius Spennett, Ruben Brown, London Fletcher, t Kio Spikes, and

1050
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: Troy Vincent the other guys who at least spend part

1051
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: of their careers in Bill's uniforms. We are waiting to

1052
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: make contact with Darryl moose Johnson as soon as he's available.

1053
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: We'll get him on with us to talk about Sunday's game,

1054
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: as he'll be doing the Fox broadcast with Chris Myers

1055
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: and Jennifer Hale, so they'll be the television broadcast team,

1056
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: probably in the booth right next to Eric and Murph.

1057
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: So we'll wait to make contact with him. But we

1058
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 1: want to get back to the tweet sheet for your

1059
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: thoughts on who has impressed you the most during the

1060
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: early part of the Bills season, and we're up to Brian,

1061
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: who says the surprise for me is finding an offensive balance.

1062
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that's interesting. You didn't pick a who. I

1063
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: like the fact that the coaching staff is willing to

1064
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: run the ball and stick with it throughout the game

1065
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: is evidenced against Miami. If they can stay balanced, we'll

1066
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: be a very tough out the rest of the way.

1067
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: Go Bills. Now. I know I already talked to you,

1068
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: Eric and to our listeners about how I wouldn't mind

1069
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: seeing that balance continue into this week's game, because I

1070
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: think if they can come close to the success they

1071
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: had last week, Eric, it's going to help keep the

1072
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: pass rush of that Washington defensive front at Bay a

1073
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: little bit and maybe more importantly, keep them honest. Yeah,

1074
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: I think you're right, and so the who here would

1075
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: be I guess Brian day Ball because he's the one

1076
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: calling the playoff, So our Twitter answer would be Brian

1077
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: dave Ball here. And I think that you're right in

1078
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: the sense that you could slow down the pass rushs

1079
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: that way. You can also slow the pass rush down

1080
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: a number of other ways if they're going to continue that.

1081
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: I thought last week some of the swing passes, you know,

1082
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: you can have essentially extended handoffs on the outside, these

1083
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: quick hit or throws that essentially act like a run play.

1084
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't want the Bills to get too enamored back

1085
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: with Hey, we're gonna be a great and I don't

1086
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 1: think don't get there, but I think there's a point

1087
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: you can make where yes, you're gonna take away what

1088
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: the defense does pass in the pass rush. You're gonna

1089
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: run the football more. But the strength this offense moving

1090
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: forward is and will be the passing game once it

1091
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: gets clicking right and you've got you know, in Josh

1092
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: through the first two weeks, there are still some plays

1093
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: there where he hasn't got it locked on per se.

1094
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there were a couple instances where he floated

1095
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: some passes where he should have put it on a line.

1096
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember Diggs coming back to the huddle

1097
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: and he's even gesturing to Josh, hey, put it on

1098
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: a line. Put it on a line. So hopefully that

1099
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: gets tightened up, and I think once it does, we

1100
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: will see more of that identity from last year show

1101
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: up in the Bills offense this year. Time now, though,

1102
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: to welcome in Daryl Moose Johnson from Fox Sports is

1103
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna be doing the game with Chris Myers and Jennifer

1104
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: Hale on Sunday, Youngstown, New York's own and thanks for

1105
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: giving us some time. First of all, here, Darryl, and

1106
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: let's just begin first with maybe your thoughts on what

1107
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: you've I mean with the film that you've watched of

1108
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 1: the Bills through the first two weeks, kind of at

1109
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: a sink a little bit offensively week one, but tide

1110
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: things up considerably better, even though Josh Allen himself has

1111
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: said Darrel that he still has not come close to

1112
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 1: playing his best game. Yeah, and that's good to have

1113
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: a thirty five nothing victory over a division wible when

1114
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: your quarterback feels like he's last and played his best football. So,

1115
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: you know, I agree with you, and I think that's

1116
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: a situation that we're seeing around the league with a

1117
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: number of different teams. When you look at Week one

1118
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: and Week two performances, you know, where does that where

1119
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: does that reality of the team lie? And obviously it's

1120
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: always going to be somewhere in between. So you know,

1121
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo is in a very similar situation to

1122
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: a number of teams around the league. We had the

1123
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: Saints last week who beat the Packers thirty eight to

1124
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: three and then stumbled a little bit in Carolina, So

1125
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're kind of in that similar situation. You

1126
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: know where they're they're one and one and really not

1127
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: quite sure exactly you know where they are or where

1128
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: they're going to be during the course of the year.

1129
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: But to have your franchise quarterback come out and say

1130
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: I haven't played my best football yet, you know, and

1131
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: have that type of performance against Miami is very promising,

1132
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: dared when you look at this Washington defense, so much

1133
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: was made of it going into the season and right

1134
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: now statistically kind of middle of the pack. A lot

1135
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: of people got to watch them on Thursday Night Football

1136
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: last week, such a close game against the Giants. Where

1137
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: are you seeing teams have success against this defense? Because

1138
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: going into the year, everyone thought, man, this defense could

1139
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: be the best in the league. Yeah, you know, they

1140
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: really had a great season last year, and there was

1141
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: probably a little bit more doubt about what that defense

1142
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: was going to be last season going into it, and

1143
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: probably expectations exceeded, you know, by by Jack del Rio's group.

1144
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: I think it's been a little bit of a disappointment

1145
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: this year. You know that that that defensive line has

1146
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: got first rounders across the board, and they've got some

1147
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: really really good, uh you know, backup players behind that.

1148
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, Tim Settle matt Ianitis is a guy that

1149
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: I've always liked. He was out early last season. So

1150
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: not only that front row group, but then they can

1151
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: roll in some really good guys, especially on the interior

1152
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: behind them, um, but they have not been getting the

1153
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterbacks that we would have expected them

1154
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: to do so far this year. So I would say

1155
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: that that's probably been the biggest disappointment because that's that's

1156
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: the foundation of this group, that's where everything is built

1157
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,439
Speaker 1: around that. That helps, you know, a secondary that's that's

1158
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: trying to find its way because the ball is going

1159
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: to need to come out a little bit quicker. You know,

1160
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to have to carry people down the field,

1161
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: so everything works in tandem. When you talk about Jack

1162
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: del Rio's defense and really one of the more complicated ones,

1163
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: you talk to some of the players that have been

1164
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: in it, and it's challenging from a mental standpoint, and

1165
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: this early in the season, are they, you know, still

1166
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: working through some of the some of the kinks and

1167
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: that and maybe having some assignment airs And you hear

1168
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: some of that coming out of the facilities with with

1169
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera saying, you know, we're not communicating, well, we're

1170
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: missing some assignments. So obviously, you know, not quite completely

1171
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: dialed in here through the first two weeks, but we

1172
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: know what that defense can look like. When when everything

1173
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: is working in sync, do you think to work against that,

1174
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: Maybe Buffalo goes another week of staying relatively balanced on offense.

1175
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean there's a team that threw at sixty one

1176
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: percent of the time last year. Last week though thirty

1177
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: three pass attempts thirty rush attempts. I mean, that's that's

1178
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: balance we don't often see here after the breakout year

1179
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: by Josh Allen, But that might be a good recipe

1180
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: to kind of keep that pass rush at Bay For Washington, yeah,

1181
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: I would. I would want to have Devin Singletary involved

1182
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: as much as I possibly could. Uh, you know, extremely dynamic,

1183
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, running the football UM and then also in

1184
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: the passing game if you're going to drop coverage and

1185
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: and try to take away some of the throws that

1186
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: are that are eating intermediate or deep. You know, he's

1187
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: a great guy to have in space as an outlet UM.

1188
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: And it also helps your offensive line. You know, when

1189
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: when you're running the football and they're able to come

1190
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage and not have to be

1191
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: backing up the entire game. Uh, it bodes well for them.

1192
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: So I think we saw a lot of that, and

1193
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: really what I have questions for with with you know,

1194
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Brian Dabele when we get up there this weekend, is

1195
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, what what is the identity that you're trying

1196
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: to establish? Where is that that spot that you'd love

1197
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: to be able to get to, you know, during the

1198
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: course of the season as you're progressing through um you know,

1199
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett always used to talk about it is you know,

1200
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: what do you what do you want to hang your

1201
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: hat on? You know, when you have that critical play

1202
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: during the course of the game. What's the personnel group?

1203
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: What's the play call? You know, what style of play

1204
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: are you going to try to you know, generate and

1205
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: and you know, really hold these these guys on the

1206
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: offensive sign accountable to that establishes your identity. What what

1207
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: would that play call be in a critical situation? So

1208
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: you haven't really seen it through the first two weeks,

1209
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: but that's the same as everybody else in the NFL,

1210
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, especially down here in Dallas. You know, fifty

1211
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: eight passes against Tampa Bay, you know, and the opener,

1212
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: and they did the exact same thing. They came back

1213
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: to balance against the Chargers, ran the ball effectively with

1214
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott and that helps everybody.

1215
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: So I'd love to see, you know, the Bills continue

1216
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: to you know, try to strike that balance and it's

1217
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: going to tip one way or the other, just based

1218
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: on how you think is the best way to attack

1219
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: your opponent. Uh So, you know you understand that part.

1220
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: But you know what really is that that core identity

1221
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: that you're trying to establish during the season. As you're

1222
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: looking at these Washington storylines this week, uh as the

1223
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 1: Washington fan base confident in Taylor Heineke where they don't

1224
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: feel like there's much of a drop off between him

1225
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: and Fitzpatrick. Obviously had a good game last week, played

1226
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: well in the playoffs against Tampa Bay. I know they

1227
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: had a lot of excitement about fits. Are they feeling

1228
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 1: like there's not much of a drop off there. He's

1229
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: become a he's becoming kind of a cult hero, you know,

1230
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: for for the the Washington football team fans. Um. You know,

1231
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: I I've was really impressed with his play last year

1232
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: in the playoff game against Tampa Bay. Um. You know,

1233
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,920
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people forget that was that

1234
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: was the closest anybody got to knocking off the Buccaneers.

1235
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: Was that that opening around game against the Washington football team,

1236
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: and you know, you wonder if if a guy like

1237
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke, who plays college football at Old Dominiing University

1238
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: and has become accustomed to not really having a clean

1239
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: pocket around him, it's gonna be a little bit chaotic

1240
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: from you know, from week to week. You know, you're

1241
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: never gonna have that string where you've got a dominant

1242
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: offensive line and things are gonna be functioning and you're

1243
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna be thrown from a clean pocket. So I just

1244
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: think he's one of those guys now that that understands,

1245
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, and as comfortable as everything's breaking down around him,

1246
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: his eyes are still down field going through his progressions.

1247
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: He's become very, very good at the quick decision to

1248
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: tuck the ball away and take what's there. And that's

1249
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: going to be something that's gonna be a challenge for

1250
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: for the Bill's front. Is he is very quick when

1251
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: things aren't there and there and he feels they are

1252
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: breaking down that he'll talk that ball away and get

1253
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: you something positive. So, um, I think he's, you know,

1254
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys. You know, he doesn't have the

1255
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: measurables that people in the NFL are looking for. But

1256
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: sometimes we have to go beyond that a little bit.

1257
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: And you when you hear you know, Chase you and

1258
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: call him a gamer, and and Terry McLaurin, you know,

1259
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: talk about how you know, all this guy's ever done

1260
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: is take advantage of every opportunity that's presented itself. And

1261
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: the good thing is, you know, the knock on Taylor

1262
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: Heineke is you know, he just can't stay healthy. You know,

1263
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: with Ryan going down that early in the season, you

1264
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: know how many games would would Taylor be able to

1265
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: stay healthy for. But you know, he recognized that in

1266
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: the offseason and they said he's put on about ten

1267
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: pounds and you know, a little bit thicker, you know,

1268
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: in his frame, so you take some of those hits

1269
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: a little bit better during the course of the game.

1270
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see him play, I really am.

1271
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: I've always I've always enjoyed watching him. And when we

1272
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: did the spring leagues, uh, you know, with the XFL,

1273
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: he was definitely one of those quarterbacks that everybody was

1274
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: trying to get their hands on. Talking to Darryl Moose

1275
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: Johnston eleven year fullback for the Dallas Cowboys, three times

1276
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Champ doing the game on Sunday with Chris

1277
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Myers and Jennifer Hale on Fox, and talk to me

1278
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, Daryl about this backfield for Washington, because

1279
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, Antonio Gibson, you know, is the guy that's

1280
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: going to be getting the hard yards for them. But

1281
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: I was very impressed with the route running ability of

1282
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: j D McKissick. I mean, he looks like a James

1283
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: White junior with the way he runs routes out of

1284
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: the backfield. And I wouldn't be surprised if they use

1285
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: him in a similar fashion to the way the Patriots

1286
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: have used James White over the year. And then they've

1287
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: got the University of Buffalo kid who made the roster

1288
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: as an undrafted rookie, and Jared Patterson. Yeah. Yeah, And

1289
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: you wonder when when Jared Patterson's going to get his opportunity.

1290
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, just incredible numbers that he put up, you know,

1291
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: the University of Buffalo. You're exactly right, Jad McKissick. You

1292
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: know that that's part of his you know, his strengths

1293
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: when you talk about the running back position. He's one

1294
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: of those guys that can come in. He's he's effective

1295
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: at running the football, but are really really good third

1296
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,479
Speaker 1: down back and that's not just running routes, but also

1297
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: in pass protection. Uh and and as good as Buffalo

1298
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: was last week at blitzing Miami, you know that's going

1299
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: to be something that I'm sure that that Scott Turner

1300
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: is very aware of, is who's ever in there on

1301
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,919
Speaker 1: on third down in passing situations. You know, they've got

1302
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: to be good in past protection, and that's exactly what JD.

1303
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: McKissick is And and Tonio Gibson just kind of burst

1304
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: down the scene last year. You know, he's still learning

1305
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: how to play the running back position, and I think

1306
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: that that's you know, one of the more unique things is,

1307
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, the majority of his college career, you know,

1308
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: he played wide receiver. This this is something that's relatively

1309
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: new for him, and he's still trying to find out,

1310
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, the subtleties of the running back position, you know,

1311
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: kind of staying on that line and pressing that that

1312
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: line a little bit more instead of baling out all

1313
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: the time. But he had a great start last year

1314
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: as a rookie, and you know, I expect to see

1315
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: him improved from you know, from week to week as

1316
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: he becomes more and more comfortable in that transition from

1317
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver to running back. The Bills have invested tremendous

1318
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: draft capital the last three years and their defensive line

1319
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: and now Bill's fans are extremely excited their second in

1320
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: the league. In Sacks. You mentioned that there's some blitz

1321
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,959
Speaker 1: is mixed in there as well, but there's optimism within

1322
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: the defensive line. Is that what you're picking up as

1323
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: you prepare for this game as well? Yeah, you know,

1324
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny because one of the big questions

1325
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: that that coach Rivera was getting, you know, from from

1326
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 1: the Washington media is building that team and you know,

1327
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: kind of the conversations that he's actually had, you know,

1328
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: with with coach McDermott and you know, hey, how did

1329
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: you do things in Buffalo? And they realized that it

1330
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: was very very similar, you know to what they had

1331
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: learned from Andy reid Um and building it that way.

1332
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: And if you go back, you know to Philly, Philly

1333
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: always had a great defense. Um. You know, obviously Sean's

1334
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, you know, in his background, a defensive coach.

1335
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: You know, the protege of Jim Johnson, who was who

1336
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: was one of the more difficult guys to play against.

1337
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna always tilt that way. But you're starting to

1338
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: see teams around the NFL who are building it that way,

1339
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, coming in and shoring up that defense. Uh,

1340
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: making sure that have the ability to rush the passer,

1341
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: make that ball come out a little bit sooner than

1342
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: he wants to get quarterbacks off schedule. Uh. You know,

1343
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: these are some of the things that a lot of

1344
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: people are talking about now. So we're starting to see

1345
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: more and more teams kind of lean towards, you know,

1346
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: those early stages of the turnaround. Let's let's go after

1347
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: things that we're sure of. And I think that one

1348
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 1: of the great things that that Sean McDermott did is

1349
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: you don't try to force the most important position. You know,

1350
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: sometimes we've seen franchises in transition just feel like they

1351
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: have to you know, we have to go get that quarterback.

1352
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 1: We've got to go get him right now. And you know,

1353
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: did you really like him, did he fit your scheme?

1354
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Did you think he was going to be the guy

1355
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: that was going to be able to take your franchise

1356
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: on this journey along with you? And I think it

1357
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: was great that Sean. You know, even with the success

1358
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: of going to the playoffs as quickly as he did

1359
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: and still didn't have that quarterback, was patient to wait.

1360
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: And now you've got Ron. You know, Ron is in

1361
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: He's in year two and he still doesn't have that guy.

1362
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: You know, when is Ron Rivera, you know, really going

1363
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: to now start to find that guy that he really likes.

1364
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: He hasn't been able to do it in the first

1365
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: couple of years, you know, what's been on the free

1366
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: agent market or in his draft position. You know, there

1367
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: hasn't been somebody there that that he really wants to

1368
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: hitch his wagon too. So I think that that, you know,

1369
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: is more of an interesting thing now is you know

1370
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 1: when he does that. But you know it's you look

1371
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: at what Washington did with their front, you look what

1372
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo is doing with their front. It seems to be

1373
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: something that's that's trending around the NFL is making sure

1374
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: that defensive line is as strong as it can possibly be.

1375
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Chris Brown in former Bill center Eric Wood here with

1376
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Darryl moose Johnson. Last one from me, Daryl Um. We

1377
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: know that the Bill's defense on the back end, at

1378
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: its core, plays a good deal of zone. But when

1379
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: there is a premier receiver. There have been times in

1380
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: man calls when they've had Tredevious White travel with a

1381
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 1: number one wide out. Do you think Terry McLaurin is

1382
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: of that ilk where he might demand that kind of

1383
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 1: attention from Tredevious White this weekend? He's got great numbers. UM,

1384
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: I think he's definitely moving in that direction. Is he

1385
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: at the top of the wide receiver group around the NFL.

1386
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: He's kind of one of those guys. I think that's

1387
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 1: under the radar a little bit. His draft position probably

1388
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 1: put him there to start out, but he had a

1389
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: great rookie campaign and you know, generated a lot of

1390
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: attention there. So he's definitely somebody that you have to

1391
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 1: worry about. UM and and and if you don't have somebody,

1392
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: I think the big thing is is when you really

1393
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 1: kind of match up with somebody, it really kind of

1394
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: depends on how your second corner is going to match

1395
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: up against that other guy on the outside. That that's

1396
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: one of the things you have to take into consideration.

1397
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: And what a lot of defensive coaches you know, that's

1398
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: that's really their tipping point in that decision. Obviously, if

1399
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna match and trail. You have

1400
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: tremendous confidence in that matchup. You know it's you, it's

1401
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: your top corner going against what you consider to be

1402
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: a game breaking wide receiver. But what does that do

1403
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: to the other side of that matchup? Now you're gonna

1404
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: are you gonna roll safety help over the top? Does

1405
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: that really become kind of like a double? Does that

1406
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: do anything your scheme? Uh? That gives your opponent an opportunity,

1407
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: you know, to take advantage of the things that you're

1408
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: doing defensively. So a lot of things will go into

1409
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: that decision. Maybe you start out the game and see

1410
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: how everybody does against Terry McLaurin, and then if it

1411
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: becomes an issue, you make an adjustment there. But we're

1412
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: seeing a fewer and fewer around the NFL that corners

1413
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: are traveling with those elite wide receivers, and you got

1414
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 1: to have them both, right, You've got to have that guy,

1415
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: and he's definitely trending that way to be one of

1416
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: the guys that you can move around that formation and

1417
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,879
Speaker 1: lock somebody down. But now the question is how comfortable

1418
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: do we feel with the other side of those matchups,

1419
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,839
Speaker 1: and I would think Buffalo would would be fairly comfortable

1420
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: with that. I don't think that that's something that they

1421
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:37,719
Speaker 1: would have to shy away from. So you know, maybe

1422
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: we just we see how the start of that game

1423
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: goes and what's Terry McLaurin doing from the offensive side

1424
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: of the ball, you know, the first quarter. Do we

1425
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: need to make an adjustment? Do we not feel comfortable

1426
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: with some of the matchups that Washington is generating during

1427
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: the course of the game. No more hardballs for me.

1428
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: I just want to know, did you specifically go in

1429
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: front of that picture to try and get booed in

1430
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: the stadium this weekend with them Smith and Troy that picture?

1431
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 1: But I guess when when you would catch the ball

1432
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: and everyone would chant moves you, you probably treat the

1433
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:13,759
Speaker 1: booze the same way. You just think they're applauding you exactly, exactly.

1434
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,639
Speaker 1: You know, I've never been boot It's just been it's

1435
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: just been the moves Philadelphia RFK Stadium. You know, they're

1436
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 1: they're cheering for me, exactly. But yeah, this has this

1437
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: has become you know, over the last the last year,

1438
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: this has become, uh the zoom spot. I don't I

1439
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: don't have the bookshelves behind me like a lot of

1440
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: people do with with all the all the different books

1441
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: that I ever read, So we'll just go with some

1442
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: memorability behind it. And and that's ah, that's one of

1443
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: my prize possessions. That's actually a Christmas gift from from

Speaker 1: him like a gift of yourself like he put himself

1448
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: as the focal point of the picture. Yeah, I would

1449
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: have liked to have had a more prominent position in there,

1450
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, But no, not at all, not at all.

1451
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:03,679
Speaker 1: It was funny because I was I was a little

1452
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: bit late getting into that morning, and everybody else, you know,

Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll hear from Josh Allen, who's

1470

1471
01:12:49,880 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: that for you next here on One Bills Live. Welcome

1472
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: back to One Drills Live. Chris Brown here with you.

1473
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: Eric Wood had to jump, but we thank him for

1474
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: helping us out on the show today as he filled

1475
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: in for Steve and we'll catch up with him on

1476
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: the weekend when he's in town for the home game

1477
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: against the Washington football team. Want to clock kickoff. We

1478
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: want to take you to the Josh Allen press conference.

1479
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: Now practice is over and he is addressing the media,

1480
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: so let's go to Josh you're trying to get it

1481
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 1: done within your game. Maybe we're you're off a little

1482
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: bit or whatever. Is it based on your fundamentals or

1483
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: is it something that other defenses are trying if you

1484
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 1: noticed a trend that they're trying to take things away. No,

1485
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, I gotta find, like I said,

1486
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: ways to be better. Um, so there's no secret to that.

1487
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: And whether it's finding a check down early and just

1488
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 1: trying to get into a rhythm, into a groove early on.

1489
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: But again, you know, whatever that takes me throwing the

1490
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: ball thirty times, me handing it off thirty times, whatever

1491
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: this team needs for me to do, that's what I'm

1492
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: gonna do. Similarities between the Steelers front and some of

1493
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: what Washington does also, Yeah, I mean statistically last year

1494
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: they were very similar in terms of getting to the quarterback.

1495
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 1: You know, they got some really good young players up

1496
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,799
Speaker 1: front that are you know, their first round picks basically

1497
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 1: all the way around. Um, guys that can get after

1498
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 1: the ball. They got speed on the edges, they got

1499
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: a knack for getting the ball out, so from handoffs,

1500
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: stepping up in the pocket, just making sure we're good

1501
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 1: with ball secured He's gonna be a big empasis this week.

1502
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: Porton is being balanced. But when you're facing a team

1503
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: that they can get out of the quarterback like that,

1504
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean last week offensively it was pretty much at

1505
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty split pass calls and run calls. Yeah, um,

1506
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: I mean it definitely forces the defensive line, especially to

1507
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: to play different things. They can't just spend their ears

1508
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: back and go um, you know, forcing dbs and safeties

1509
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,680
Speaker 1: to tackle. You know, it's no easy task most of

1510
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: the time for them, especially when you got guys like

1511
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: you know, Devon and Zach running down hill, running hard.

1512
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 1: So um yeah, balance is uh, it's never a bad thing.

1513
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Miami is two of the highest paid and better started

1514
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league, and you beat each one of

1515
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: them on a deep ball, first to Sanders and then

1516
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: the Tanks. I mean that what do you think that

1517
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: impact in fact, that has on defensive what they see hope. Yeah.

1518
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean we got guys that can go win. Um,

1519
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: they can do it different ways. They can you know,

1520
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: intermediate deep game. Um, guys that just want the ball

1521
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: in their hands, you know. And when you got a

1522
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 1: vet like e and a guy like Steff that just

1523
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: they work extremely hard in practice, so you guys see it. Um,

1524
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: it's no surprise when they make plays like that. The

1525
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 1: drive coming out at half time. You mentioned after the

1526
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: game that that was big, just to kind of get

1527
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,639
Speaker 1: going in the right direction. Again when you look back

1528
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:52,879
Speaker 1: on that on film, right on that possession in particular,

1529
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: good decisions getting the ball out quick, um, you know,

1530
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,679
Speaker 1: really not letting the defensive line effect affect that possession

1531
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: too much. Guys made plays. We had a face mask

1532
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: that helped us, you know, with fifteen yards um, you know,

1533
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 1: and ultimately I think that's when Dawson, Uh, when Dawson scored.

1534
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 1: You know, So guys get open, guys make plays. Uh,

1535
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: that's we got a really good group here. Um. You know,

1536
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 1: the more more times we can get the ball in

1537
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: their hands, the better. He's an example of maybe what

1538
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: you're talking about when rhythm, uh, you know, the type

1539
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 1: of execution within in this offense, that particular drive, quick

1540
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: kicks down the field, that sort of thing. Is that

1541
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 1: Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, that's that's expected

1542
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: from us, you know, and um, you know I've said

1543
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: it over you know, many times before. Just I demand

1544
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 1: so much of myself and um, you know I want

1545
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: to I wanna execute at such a high level. You know.

1546
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: When things aren't going to why I get so frustrated

1547
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:46,600
Speaker 1: with myself. So I got to find a way to

1548
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 1: to keep going, be light for the guys, and be

1549
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: the best leader that I can be for this team. Um,

1550
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: you know that that drive just finding completions, letting guys

1551
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: make plays. Like I said, the more times we get

1552
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 1: the ball into our playmaker's hands, the better you get.

1553
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,799
Speaker 1: You know, face mask. You can get a penalty some

1554
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: some way somewhere. Um, that helps us move the ball

1555
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: forward and skips some third downs and ultimately put the

1556
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 1: ball in the hands. That's our expectations are there. I

1557
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: was mentioning your conversations that you were having on Monday

1558
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: before he talks to the media. How much of a

1559
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 1: balance is he because you're so hard on yourself to

1560
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: be able to kind of counterbalance that with focusing on

1561
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: something the good things you did. Yeah, um, you know

1562
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: that's that's what coach is supposed to do, you know.

1563
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: And he's he's one of the better ones in the league,

1564
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 1: if not the best one in the league. So I

1565
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 1: love him, and um, just he does so much for me,

1566
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 1: and he's helped me so much throughout my career so far.

1567
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad I have a guy like that in my corner.

1568
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: Would you ever consider the idea that being this much

1569
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: less hard on yourself? Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's tough,

1570
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, I just I want I want

1571
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 1: it so bad. Um, it's hard to tone down that

1572
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 1: aspect when I when I expect something on myself and

1573
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: something I can do when I do regularly in practice,

1574
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 1: and I've shown it, and there's sometimes you know, obviously

1575
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,759
Speaker 1: there's a couple times in the games where I've missed

1576
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: and um, you know, maybe letting it affected me too much.

1577
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,839
Speaker 1: So just just trying to you know, the best quarterbacks

1578
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: are the ones that can forget about the previous play

1579
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: and move on to the next. And um, guys, guys

1580
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: make mistakes. Guys make miss you know, miss throws. That's

1581
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: how we bounce back from it. That makes us who

1582
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: we are, and um, you know that's what we're looking

1583
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 1: forward to do. I'm excited to get out there on

1584
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 1: Sunday and um, you know, I get the ball to

1585
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: our guys. They're guy in the huddle that can reach

1586
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: you in that moment. Can one of the guys in particular,

1587
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: say fourteen, I thought, so, yeah, he's uh, he's always

1588
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: on me. So yeah, he keeps me it pretty good. Now.

1589
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: He initiates it and he can see when when I'm

1590
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 1: being maybe a little too hard on myself, but uh,

1591
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be loose, trying to be lighting um.

1592
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 1: And we had a good practice today and just looking

1593
01:18:50,840 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 1: forward to going out and executing what's how we do it? Uh,

1594
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: we have we have fun you know at there to

1595
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: day it's it's football and um singing that we've been

1596
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: playing as a kid. And sometimes you gotta you gotta

1597
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: remind yourself that that, you know, the reason why I

1598
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,640
Speaker 1: played this game is you know, to win, um, to

1599
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: win football games, and to have fun while I'm doing it,

1600
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: because it is such a busting to come out and

1601
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 1: do what we do each and every single day, especially

1602
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 1: for the organization that we're here with. So UM, just

1603
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to to have the guys on the team

1604
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: that we do and go out there and you know,

1605
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,839
Speaker 1: put forth our best foot every every Sunday, Monday or Thursday,

1606
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: and looking forward to uh you know it s one

1607
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: on Sunday or something like he tries to. Yeah, we

1608
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,719
Speaker 1: have fun. Talked about bringing positivity, and you talked about

1609
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: Hit talking to the team earlier this year and what

1610
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 1: he brings experience wise. But what's it like having a

1611
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 1: guy bring that kind of backyard football mentality that just

1612
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, always keeps it positive and just likes to

1613
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: go out there and have fun. No, No, it's great.

1614
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,679
Speaker 1: And you see the plays that he's made so far

1615
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: for us, and not just in the passing game, that

1616
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: that run that helps spring Devin free Um and it's

1617
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: I can play the game, second offensive play for us.

1618
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: You know, he went down his block, was blocked by

1619
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 1: somebody else, and he found work and was able to

1620
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: spring Devin Free there. So it's just the little things

1621
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: that sometimes people miss, and it's not gonna go in

1622
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: the stat sheet. It's it's the juice. It's running downfield

1623
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: like I said, and finding work and finding somebody to block.

1624
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: It's Um running the scene that he knows he's not

1625
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball in, but he opens it up

1626
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: for someone right behind him. He's this type of guy

1627
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: that he's super selfless and he just wants to win.

1628
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 1: He wants to help this team win any way. That

1629
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: he can, and it's it's a blessing to have him

1630
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: on this team. From afar Logan Thomas and kind of

1631
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: his career trajectory and everything. How I'll impressed? Are you

1632
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 1: with what he's been able to do it? Tight end? Ah,

1633
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: he's I miss him. I talked to him actually quite

1634
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: a bit still and it's been awesome to kind of

1635
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: see what he's done. His family is awesome, um, you know,

1636
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: and he's made some unbelievable, you know plays. And I

1637
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: I back when he was here. You know, you saw it.

1638
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, guys like that that are big, fast and

1639
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: ultimately smart. You know, those guys usually find a way

1640
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: to stick around him in this league. And not only

1641
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 1: is he sticking around, he's you know, kind of submited

1642
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: himself as one of the better tight ends in this

1643
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: league and one of the better guys too. So I

1644
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 1: had a lot of love for him and his family.

1645
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,839
Speaker 1: So that's Josh Allen addressing the media after practice today.

1646
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: You heard him comment about former Bill Logan Thomas, who

1647
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: started the transition from quarterback to tight end here in Buffalo.

1648
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 1: It began under the Rex Ryan regime and continued and

1649
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: then he just kind of I don't know, he kind

1650
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: of just fell out of I don't want to say

1651
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: he fell out of favor, but is the priorities with

1652
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 1: him in his transition kind of fell to the wayside.

1653
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: He bounced around a little bit, landed in Washington and

1654
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: really carved out a niche for himself on that roster,

1655
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 1: and then blew up last year to the tune of

1656
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: eighty two receptions and is firmly entrenched as they're starting

1657
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,639
Speaker 1: tight end down there in Washington, and is a threat

1658
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: on the football field. It took him a few years,

1659
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: but he's really mastered the position, and I think that

1660
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: earns the respect of a lot of people, especially having

1661
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 1: been a former quarterback with the likes of Josh Allen.

1662
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:10,839
Speaker 1: As you just heard, there a lot of the questions

1663
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: today if you're just joining us dealt with Josh being

1664
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: his own harshest critic. And you even heard the question

1665
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: I think it was from NFL Networks Kim Jones if

1666
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: I recognize the voice right who said, are you able

1667
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:30,759
Speaker 1: to back off and just not be so hard on yourself?

1668
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: And I think the answer was very telling. He said, yeah,

1669
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 1: he's like, I just expect so much of myself, so

1670
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: when it doesn't happen. I'm rough, I'm rough on me,

1671
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: and he you know, nobody even had to ask him why.

1672
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: He explained why. It's because he wants it so bad.

1673
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,839
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you could like a quarterback

1674
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 1: anymore when they give you an answer like that. So

1675
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 1: hopefully the things that he wants to tighten up in

1676
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: his game, he will be able to the course of

1677
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: this week and hopefully next week and perform more up

1678
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 1: to his own standard, let alone the standards that Bill's

1679
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: fans became accustomed to seeing from him weekend and week out,

1680
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: especially in the second half of last season. Now, as

1681
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:21,839
Speaker 1: Eric and I were discussing earlier in the show today,

1682
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: it's not just the front four that Washington has to

1683
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: throw at you. Yes, talented first round draft choices, but

1684
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: as we just heard Mouse Johnston tell us who's doing

1685
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday in the last segment, they have

1686
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: two very good defensive tackles behind the starting two. So

1687
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: you have Duran Payne and Jonathan Allen, two former first

1688
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: round draft choices in the starting defensive interior. But Tim

1689
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: Settle is a good second round pick out of Penn

1690
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 1: State who has been a good player for years, and

1691
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 1: same thing with matt Ionidas. I mean, this is a

1692
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: guy who is largely seen as a try hard player,

1693
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: but he's a little more crafty than that. I kind

1694
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: of liken him to Hyle Williams, a guy who's got

1695
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: more than enough athletic ability but somehow is overlooked at times,

1696
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: and if you overlook him, he will make you pay.

1697
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: He's number ninety eight on their roster, good backup, rotational player.

1698
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 1: But the point I was trying to make here is this,

1699
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: and Eric mentioned it early in the show. Washington's got

1700
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: two really good starting corners in Kendall Fuller and William Jackson.

1701
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean, those two guys are quality starting corners, and

1702
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: I would go so far to say they have more

1703
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: playmaking ability as a duo than Trydevious White and Levi

1704
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 1: Wallace is the two starting corners here. Now, Levi Wallace

1705
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 1: coming off a game where he made a big play,

1706
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: had an interception, and we know Trudevious White's credentials don't

1707
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,719
Speaker 1: need to be mentioned here, but these are two really

1708
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 1: good starting corners. And then they got Landing Collins at

1709
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: the strong safety spot. So the front end and the

1710
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: back end pretty good. For this Washington defense, I think

1711
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 1: where they fall out of favor and don't measure up

1712
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: front to back at all three levels to the Bill's

1713
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: defense is at the linebacker position. Good veteran player in

1714
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: John Bostick, but Cole Holcom and Johnny Davis, who's their

1715
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: rookie out of Kentucky, good athlete. I just don't think

1716
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:19,919
Speaker 1: he's put it all together. And we heard Mouse Johnston

1717
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 1: mention this. He said, Look, Jack del Rio has more

1718
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,679
Speaker 1: than enough credentials as a defensive mind in this league,

1719
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 1: but his defensive scheme is very complex. And for a

1720
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 1: rookie like Davis to be calling this defense and playing

1721
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 1: fast and up to his full athletic potential, I think

1722
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 1: is something that's still a work in progress for him,

1723
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 1: because in just his third NFL start, I don't know

1724
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: that he's been able to put it all together to

1725
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: the point where he just says to himself, I know

1726
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 1: what's going on here, I'm just gonna play free. I

1727
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: think he is still thinking out there, at least from

1728
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: what I've seen on the tape that I've watched of

1729
01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 1: Washington's defense, and so it's still work in progress for

1730
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: them to put it all together. And that's some of

1731
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: the reason why after two weeks they're not lighten it

1732
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 1: up in the league's defensive rankings. I think they're twenty

1733
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 1: fourth and yards allowed. They haven't really hit on their

1734
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: sack numbers yet much like they did a year ago.

1735
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very interesting to see what they're

1736
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 1: able to come to the table with on Sunday against

1737
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:23,520
Speaker 1: the Bills offense that just hung thirty five on the Dolphins.

1738
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: Have to take a break here, but when we come back,

1739
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 1: we will close things up for a Wednesday and we're

1740
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:32,759
Speaker 1: gonna ask the question, can somebody please help celebrities before

1741
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:34,719
Speaker 1: they throw out a first pitch at a Major League

1742
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 1: Baseball game? Man Alive? Nobody seemed to figure this out yet,

1743
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:40,639
Speaker 1: and we'll show you who the latest victim was next

1744
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

1745
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back. Time to

1746
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: close things up here on a Wednesday edition of One

1747
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:01,679
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Thanks Eric Wood for helping us out today.

1748
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 1: And I thought we'd be remiss if we did not

1749
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 1: mention this, and this has reached crisis levels. The ceremonial

1750
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:14,640
Speaker 1: first pitch at Major League baseball games has taken a

1751
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 1: horrible turn for the worse. The latest example is MMA

1752
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 1: fighter Connor McGregor. He's at the Cubs game yesterday and

1753
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: he's asked to throw out the first pitch. After watching

1754
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 1: him throw this first pitch out, it became readily clear

1755
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: to me that nobody, and I mean nobody, helped this

1756
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: man out. I mean, yes, born in Ireland, you know,

1757
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: probably never played baseball. So if you're, if you're any

1758
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 1: representative of the Cubs, why aren't you trying to do

1759
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 1: this guy a solid and get somebody, a pitching coach,

1760
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, down in the batting cages early, give him

1761
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: some warm up tosses, a couple of pointers. Here's the

1762
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: first thing that's wrong with this. Okay, and I apologize

1763
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 1: to our radio listeners, but I'm sure you may have

1764
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,640
Speaker 1: seen this. So, first of all, Connor McGregor is in

1765
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: an athletic cut suit, and if you've ever worn one

1766
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 1: of these, let's just say there's not a lot of

1767
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 1: wiggle room. Okay, that's number one. So here he is.

1768
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 1: If this guy took a bigger stride towards home plate,

1769
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 1: he would have split his pants right down the middle.

1770
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: On his backside. But more importantly than that, nobody told

1771
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 1: him to take a suit jacket off. Do you know

1772
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 1: how restricted you are trying to throw a baseball with

1773
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:37,040
Speaker 1: a suit jacket on, even if it's unbuttoned. It's hard.

1774
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, his mechanics are all off.

1775
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy steps in the bucket with his

1776
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,639
Speaker 1: lead leg. He's almost halfway to third base on this thing,

1777
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: and so then he tries to wind up and throw

1778
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: it as hard as he possibly can, and the thing

1779
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,519
Speaker 1: goes sailing over. It hits the brick wall behind the

1780
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: home plate. This is terrible. They got to help these

1781
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:00,679
Speaker 1: guys out and help him look better. Big show coming

1782
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: your way tomorrow, Thurman Thomas. We'll be joining us here

1783
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 1: filling in for Steve Tasker Field Yates from ESPN and

1784
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:10,680
Speaker 1: ESPN Washington reporter John Kyme to tell us about the

1785
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 1: football team. We'll see you then,
