Speaker 2: is and who is not participating. Uh and there you know.

8
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: There are people on the injury list this week. Last week,

9
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: Bill's pretty clean on the injury report this week. A

10
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: couple of names and we'll pass those along here in

11
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: short order. Head coach Sean McDermott spoke to the media

12
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: about an hour ago, and we'll have relay some of

13
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: his comments to you. But we've got a jam packed

14
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: show today, Steve. In about thirty minutes time, we'll have

15
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas in here talking Bills

16
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: with us. I am interested to see what he thinks

17
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: about the high efficiency model we saw on offense this

18
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 2: past week, especially with some downhill run game. Got to

19
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: imagine he's happy to see that. Yeah, And second hour

20
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: the show, we expect to have one Connor McGovern here

21
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: in studio with us, starting left guard for the Bills

22
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: and off to a relatively good start. O Line had

23
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: a good week last week for sure, so look forward

24
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: to getting his thoughts on last week's game and what

25
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: lies ahead with respect to that first round pick. Defensive

26
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: line across the board, Montes Sweat is off to a

27
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: fast start this season, got three sacks already in two games.

28
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: If you're wondering what's going on with this and Branny

29
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: and I've been talking about it into last last week,

30
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: right after the game and then right before the game

31
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, and then this week as well. They

32
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: were tied for eighth last year. They gave up twenty

33
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: point six points per game total average yards allowed, They

34
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: were just over three and three zero four passing yards

35
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: a game allowed one hundred and ninety one. They were

36
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: first ranked first in the league, and third down percentage

37
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: allowed converted by their opponents thirty one percent less than

38
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: the third of the time you get a first down

39
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: on third down. And they had fifty three sacks last year,

40
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: which was tied for seven their top ten and all

41
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: of those stats. Second in total yards per game, first

42
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: in opponents third down percentage, So they're tough to move

43
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: the football against, particularly on crucial downs like third downs.

44
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: So it's going to be the best third down offense

45
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: in the league against the best third down defense in

46
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: the league from a year ago this week against Washington

47
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: and Buffalo.

48
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that same high efficiency model could very

49
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: well be in order. So Josh isn't under duress because

50
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: the front four coming at them this week is a

51
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: whole lot different than the front four last week.

52
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

53
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: You don't want to get third and twelve and even

54
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: third and eight. You know, you got to get it

55
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: third and five or more less. So you get a

56
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: guy you can you can complete a pass to have

57
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: the guy fall forward for the first down. I mean,

58
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: that's how this. You got to stay on schedule. You're

59
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: not going to get very many third and seven pluses,

60
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: so or converting convert many of them. I agree with you, Brownie.

61
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: You gotta stay ahead of the chains on this crew. Yeah.

62
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be hard to run the football

63
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: on them. It's obviously hard to throw it. They get

64
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks. Goodness great, they're they're a handful.

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: They're a handful, they really are. And I'll say that

66
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: we've been watching, we've been talking back and forth Branny

67
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: and I col Sam Hall is a dude.

68
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: He's got an arm.

69
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: He's got an arm. And he's not a very big dude,

70
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: but he's got an arm. And man, oh man, he

71
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: is unafraid. Yeah, unafraid.

72
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. If he was not six

73
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: foot two, he would have been a second round pick instead.

74
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: He's a fifth round pick. Yeah, but I mean he

75
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 2: would have he's six too, so he's a little short

76
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: in stature. But he's got an arm. Man, he's got

77
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: an arm.

78
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: He's got a live arm.

79
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: You can put it anywhere.

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: And he's made he made some. He made one throw.

81
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: You showed it to you say you showed it to me?

82
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: I did. I. I saw it later on my own

83
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: and brought it to Brownie's attention. Then he took credit

84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: for it.

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: So I was just like, you're showing me a play.

86
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: I just showed you the other day.

87
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: He's throwing it down the field and he is on

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: the money for some really long throws and looks good

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: doing it. Decisive ball coming out on time. Here we're

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: seeing we're watching the studio. Now, is he you know

91
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: athletic enough runs the football?

92
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: Well?

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: U I thought that. I thought the Redskins and Ron

94
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: Rivera and their coaching stamanders, Eric, what's that?

95
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: Commanders?

96
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: The commanders? What did I say? Did I call them

97
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: the redskins?

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: Gosh, I'm sorry, I apologize.

99
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. So I thought Eric Ban and me and

100
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera were finger quotes settling for Sam Howe. Not

101
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: so much.

102
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: They saw something we didn't. Well, they knew about something

103
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: that they don't know yet.

104
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Right and right. So that's you know, that's why they're

105
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: two and oh, I mean it really is. That's why

106
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: they're too. Oh the defense we're talking about and.

107
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 2: The defense did give up thirty three points last week.

108
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: I mean, let's not forget that they can be had.

109
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: Well, they're gonna need to be yeah. Uh.

110
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: Practice updates presented by Lee Coom Lake Erie College of

111
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: Osteopathic Medicine not practicing today, Micah Hyde with a hamstring

112
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: injury sustained in last week's game, Leonard f Lloyd, who's

113
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: got an ankle ailment saw him on the stationary bike,

114
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: and Dawson Knox with a back ailment. Terrell Bernard is

115
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 2: limited today with a lower leg injury, and Jordan Phillips

116
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: missing practice today due to illness. So a handful of

117
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: players nicked up here, and we'll have to see how

118
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: they make it through the course of the week. Because

119
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: it's only Wednesday, I mean, there's time for some of

120
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: these guys to get back on the practice field in

121
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: a full capacity, So we'll see. And you know, we

122
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: saw Micah leave the game late last week, same thing

123
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: with Floyd. Neither of them returned. There was no need

124
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: for them too, because the game was already largely decided,

125
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: so fortunately they didn't need to continue to be in

126
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: the game. And I even saw Tyrrel Dotson finish up

127
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: in place of Terrell Bernard last week at the middle

128
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: linebacker spot. So we'll keep an eye on that. See

129
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: what what's on Washington's injury report later this afternoon to

130
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 2: see how their roster is looking. Chase Young back in

131
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: the lineup one and a half sacks already. He was

132
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: obviously their top pick back in twenty fifteen, was it

133
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: I want to say twenty sixteen. No, it's not that

134
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: long ago. No, he's not that old. I think he's

135
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: only in his third season, So what would that be

136
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty.

137
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I think he was a twenty two.

138
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 5: I don't know.

139
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to look right now.

140
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: All right, look at him.

141
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty draft.

142
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's just fourth thought he was young, but

143
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: he's twenty one. Yeah, he's been out for a minute though.

144
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he missed, missed an entire year with the knee

145
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: injury and all that. So, but he's been in the

146
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: league for a minute here and he's all systems go now.

147
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: And that guy is he's US prime grade A stamp guaranteed.

148
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he looks. He looks the part too, you know,

149
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: like a lot of these guys do. And that's you know,

150
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: we've said a time again. He talk about it all

151
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: the time. When he go in the first round the

152
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, it shows, it shows in your athleticism and

153
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: your stature and all of that stuff. I mean, they

154
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: just they just show up.

155
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: Right.

156
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: What did you take away from coach McDermott's comments when

157
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: he addressed the media today, We saw, you know, he

158
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: was commenting on his relationship with Ron Rivera, obviously having

159
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: worked under him for a period of years in Carolina

160
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: as the defensive coordinator when Rivera was head coach. McDermott's

161
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: also coaching in his one hundredth game as head coach

162
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: on Sunday for the Bills, So that's kind of a

163
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: cool deal. Said he was grateful for having the opportunity

164
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: as long as he's had, along with all the people

165
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: that helped him along the way. So good on coach

166
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: for that, because not everybody lasts one hundred games in

167
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: this league, as we know, it's.

168
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: A hard league to do that in and you kind

169
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: of think, you kind of hope he coaches another one

170
00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty of them too.

171
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: Here.

172
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's kudos to him. This place has been

173
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: markedly different since the day he walked in the door.

174
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: Yep.

175
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: And you and you and I were here pre and

176
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: now we're here post and yeah, I mean it's like, wow,

177
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: I like this. This is better. Yeah, it's just way

178
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: better and on every respect, in every respect, in every respect.

179
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: Coach was naturally asked a lot of questions about Josh

180
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: Allen and his performance in last week's game, and he

181
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: said that Josh did some of the spectacular things that

182
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: we are used to seeing from him, most notably the

183
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: fourth down conversion of the end zone to Gabe Davis.

184
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: That's a spectacular play. So as the touchdown passed to

185
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: Kalil Shakir, it's only about two quarterbacks in the league

186
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: that can make that throw under that duress in that moment,

187
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: he and probably Patrick Mahomes. But then he said the

188
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: rest of his game was solid, and that is winning football.

189
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: Didn't turn the ball over, completion percentage high, didn't take

190
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: too many unnecessary risks, and the team runs away from

191
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: their opponent. And so he said, that is a game

192
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: that we want to put on the shelf and reference

193
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: every once in a while when we need reminders about

194
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: how we play the quarterback position in this league, because

195
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna win a ton of games playing that way.

196
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll say this too. Think about it. He

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: had two touchdown passes and they said they hung thirty

198
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: eight points on that team.

199
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: That's a really good touchdown pass.

200
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: Three touchdown passes, two touchdowns, Davis Shakir, okay, and they

201
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: hung thirty eight points on that team. And Josh, we

202
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: just found out is offensive rookie of the Offensive Player

203
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: of the Week for the AFC. That's a pretty good week.

204
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, bottle that up and remember it now. Certainly

205
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: we we've referenced this too. It's not going to be

206
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: as easy to play like even if you have that

207
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: same game plan and that same thought process and all that.

208
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: Washington's better defense this week, so you may not hang

209
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: thirty eight on him, but you might.

210
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: You know, Denver put thirty three on him for Josh Allen.

211
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: By the way, his AFC Player of the Week Offensive

212
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 2: Player of the Week award is the eleventh of his career.

213
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: That now puts him past Jim Kelly for most Player

214
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: of the Week award honors in a playing career for

215
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: the Bills, So he's now the most decorated Player of

216
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: the Week honoree in team history. Jim had ten and

217
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: now Josh has eleven. Not surprised the top two are quarterbacks,

218
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: So good on him. Congrats to him. Had a heck

219
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: of a performance last week. You hope it continues, And

220
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: like I said, I think this high efficiency model is

221
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: going to have to continue if they want to have

222
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: some success against what I consider a more talented, significantly

223
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: more talented defensive front than the one they saw last week.

224
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: I would argue that Washington's front four is closer to

225
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: that of the Jets than it is to that of

226
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: the Raiders. May not be an equal, but it's pretty

227
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: dang close. And I had totally forgotten about this Jonathan

228
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: Allen and Deron Payne were teammates in college as well

229
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: at Alabama before they got on the same team in Washington.

230
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: It's pretty remarkable they kind of drafted in the first

231
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: round and back to back years by Washington, and Doron

232
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 2: Payin got paid this offseason four years ninety million. He

233
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: was one of the first defensive tackles to get his

234
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: bag of money this offseason. The off season of the

235
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: defensive tackle, there's a.

236
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: Lot of them at all. And it's interesting too. We've

237
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: mentioned it, and I think we last week and it's

238
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: only been two weeks, but the first two weeks of

239
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: the season, we noticed it during training camp, talked about

240
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: it on the show, and certainly it showed up in

241
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: the game against Vegas. Ed Oliver was invigorated by his contract.

242
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: You see, we've talked about some we've seen it here

243
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo where guys take it out of gear. Ed

244
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: Oliver seems to turn it, had turned it up a

245
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: notch when he got and some guys that respond to that,

246
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: they you know, they feel empowered by that, where the

247
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: club showed that amount of faith in them and they

248
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: feel better about themselves. And i'd sell you what Ed's

249
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: playing great. He's playing off his rocker. So that is

250
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: something that you got to give kudos to Brandon Being

251
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott for because they don't do that to everybody.

252
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: There have been guys here that have gone the other way,

253
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: and man oh man, he was ed. Ed Oliver seems

254
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: to be one of those guys. In the Year of

255
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: the defensive tackling this last offseason, the Bills seem to

256
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: have made the right move.

257
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the Year of the defensive tackle, and I

258
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: think they're gonna I think we're gonna find at that

259
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: contra for Ed is going to be pretty team friendly

260
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: over the next few years. When some of those other

261
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: ones that got signed for upwards of ninety million are

262
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: going to be tough to navigate and work around. They're

263
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: probably gonna some of those they're probably gonna have to

264
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: be restructured, whether it's Dearn Payne, Dexter Lawrence, a bunch

265
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: of those. They were fat, some fat contracts, Quinn Williams.

266
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: There are some fat contracts getting handed out. Let's go

267
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: around the NFL. Brought to you by Kalida Health, the

268
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills and we begin

269
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: in the AFC North Steve, where the Browns are trying

270
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: to sort out a running back situation that will no

271
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: longer have Nick Chubb officially out for the season. They're

272
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: saying he might need two knee surgeries, an initial surgery

273
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: and then a second one sometime later. You feel for

274
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: the guy for sure. Jerome Ford was his backup on

275
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: the roster, but they were out Former Browns running back

276
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt yesterday signed him to a one year contract today,

277
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: so there is your depth player to go along with

278
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: Jerome Ford. We think Chubb pretty much done for the season.

279
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question Jerome Ford is going

280
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: to be the guy, at least out of the gate

281
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna stay there and be the running back one.

282
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons you go back

283
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: to a guy like Kareem Hunt if you're the Browns

284
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: is first of all, knowledge, I mean, the guy was

285
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: there and he's a known commodity. And we've seen it

286
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: almost universally in football, not only it not only at

287
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: the player level, but also the coaching level. And when

288
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: you see coaches move teams, they'll bring guys with they

289
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: coaches love guys they can trust or guys that are

290
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: known commodities. Even if it's a lesser high end than

291
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: this guy over here. You don't know if this guy

292
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: is the right guy. They'll take the now commodity over

293
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: an unknown even if the other unknown has a bigger

294
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: upside a lot of times, particularly in season now because

295
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: they need somebody. They gotta win games. And that's that

296
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: is so on point for the NFL is having they

297
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: bring a guy and they know, bring him in, sign him,

298
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah, slower acclamation process, all of that locker room,

299
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: not known commodity everything.

300
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: Down in Carolina, the Panthers do not have their starting

301
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: quarterback out on the practice field. Bryce Young did not

302
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: practice today because of an ankle injury. The team also

303
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: signed quarterback Jake Luton to their practice squad. So Andy

304
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: Dalton is Bryce Young's backup. But Steve, what did we

305
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: say around draft time about Bryce Young? Do you remember?

306
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: It's a little small. He's on the small small side

307
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: as far as stature.

308
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: Talking about height, I'm talking he's little.

309
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

310
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean you look at even a shorter guy who's

311
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: like Tyler Murray. He's built like a fire plug. You know,

312
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: he's thick. Ryce Young is frail, Well, he looks frail.

313
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he's more than five pounds heavier than me.

314
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: He is frail looking.

315
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: He's got a slender frame, not a lot of musculature

316
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: to his body. And Steve and I talked about it.

317
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how fast he reads defense is at

318
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 2: some point there's gonna be a third and twelve or

319
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: a third and twenty two or a third and seventeen

320
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: and he's gonna have to hang in there and wait,

321
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 2: and he's gonna get whacked. And he apparently got whacked

322
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: by the Saints last week and now he's uh. I

323
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 2: think that's a pretty interesting sign. They already signed a

324
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: third quarterback to the practice squad, which is a very

325
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: strong indication like, hey, we better get somebody up and

326
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: ready here on a short week with six days before

327
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: our next game, especially if Young is iffy. I mean,

328
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: Dalton would start obviously, but you're gonna need a second

329
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: guy if Young's out of the equation. Right, But this

330
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: is what we talked about, Steve, small stature, slender framed quarterback.

331
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be able to hold up in this league?

332
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: I mean he makes two It look big.

333
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: And yes, and I it's not so much that he

334
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: can't stand it get through a game. But it's a grind.

335
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a grind. Got some guys struggle to

336
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: keep weight on during the season. You always have to.

337
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: You got guys that you gotta try and work out

338
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: and maintain your strength conditioning during the season. It's physically taxing,

339
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: even if you're not injured. Then once you get injured,

340
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: then your rehab and then you can't maintain your strength

341
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: conditioning because you're rehabbing whatever whatever. You know, you're trying

342
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: to get well. It's a man, old man, it's a grinds.

343
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: That's what makes guys retire. Man, it's the grind. It's

344
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: not the physical punishment, it's the grind.

345
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

346
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

347
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: In the latest episode of As the World Turns in Chicago,

348
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 2: Bears quarterback Justin Fields has come under fire for not

349
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: being able to see wide open receivers and releasing the football.

350
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: So he was asked about it in his press conference today,

351
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: Steve and acknowledged that he has been playing a little

352
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: bit too robotic. Then he apparently followed up when asked,

353
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: why do you believe you are playing so robotic? His

354
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: answer was coaching. Not a good day to be. Offensive

355
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: coordinator Luke Getzy in Chicago, as the franchise quarterback, has

356
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: basically said, I am now playing too robotic because of

357
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: my coaching. Have fun with that shy town oh boy,

358
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: oh boy.

359
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, yeah, he just too much information that

360
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: kind I mean, this.

361
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: Is yeah, that is not good. Not good.

362
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's rough. And I'll say this too. If

363
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: they're giving him too much information to go out there

364
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: and play free, that's on him. That's on him. It's

365
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: not on the coaches. That's their job. They're doing what

366
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do. Now they could and if he's

367
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: asking them to simplify stuff, if he's having to do

368
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: all that, then they got another problem. They got a

369
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: different set of problems. So this is not good. It

370
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: is not good.

371
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 2: And it gets worse. You want to know why, because

372
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: his left tackle Braxton Jones is out for the season

373
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: with a neck injury that was also announced today. Yeah,

374
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: so it's gone from bad to worse and we're not

375
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: even out of September.

376
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: Yell, I mean it's yeah. In the Chicago, they're two

377
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: weeks in and they're a tire fire. Yes, somebody threw

378
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: a match on a gasoline pire fire. I mean, it's

379
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: what are they say it? What are they doing? I

380
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: told you there's a Chargers are going to charge, charger charge,

381
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: are gonna go charging. The Bears are gonna fold up.

382
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: The Detroit are a myth. The Arizona Cardinals are exactly

383
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: where everybody expects them to be virtually every single year.

384
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: They're just a group of teams like that, and used

385
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: to be. Cincinnati was in that.

386
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: Correct.

387
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, the Cincinnati Bengals who put their

388
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: star quarterback who they just paid because they're paying him,

389
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: they need him to play.

390
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 2: Now he's out, well, they don't know. It's a little

391
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 2: up in the air. They apparently. Joe Burrow said his

392
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: calf has felt better the last two days than it

393
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: did right after the game on Sunday, and so now

394
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: his status is up in the air a bit after.

395
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: Initially it was thought, wow, it's gonna be hard for

396
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: him to come back and play this week. So wait,

397
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: we shall see.

398
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: Let's just say what we know about the human body

399
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: and what we've seen through your So you got this

400
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: guy who popped his calf first day at train camp,

401
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: didn't do anything in training camp because he couldn't even

402
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: walk right. So then they bring him back. They come

403
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: back in week one and he doesn't look good, doesn't

404
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: look like he's throwing the ball well because it's on

405
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: the foot he's got to push off to throw, doesn't

406
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: look good. Comes back the next week and then can't

407
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: just like is limping, and they're gonah, nah, he'll he'll

408
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: work his way through. He ain't gonna work his way

409
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: through it. He's not gonna work his way through it.

410
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: That's something. If you don't take care of it for good,

411
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: it will recur.

412
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: You gotta sit down.

413
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: You just watched it happen. Yeah, and we're six weeks

414
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 2: removed from when it first happened, six weeks.

415
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: If he throws the football one time like he wants

416
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: to throw the football without thinking about that injury, that

417
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: injury is coming right back to square one, right back

418
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: the first day of training camp. They are absolutely nuts

419
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: for letting him go out there like that.

420
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be very interesting to see what they decide,

421
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: because they are somewhat desperate here. They're oh and two

422
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 2: and their backup quarterback has never started a game in

423
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: his NFL career. Which is all of one pass attempt

424
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: last week after he came in for Burrow at the

425
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: end of the game.

426
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: Right, they're oh and two and they are sitting here

427
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: looking at let me just see, let me just get

428
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: pulled their schedule up really quick. They're looking at the

429
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams.

430
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that one. I mean, it's not gonna be easy,

431
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: but you could win that one at home, right, that's

432
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: at home for them on Monday night.

433
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: Joe's healthy.

434
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: I'm not even saying if Joe's healthy, like you might

435
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: be able to find a way to win that game.

436
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: Because the Rams aren't world beaters anymore. I mean, I

437
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: know they've made some nice strides with their young receiving

438
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: corps Puka Nakua most notably, who has what twenty five

439
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: catches in two games.

440
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: Right, something like that.

441
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: It's like the new Cooper Cup.

442
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but I just I don't know, man. I

443
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: just think.

444
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: That's that is going to definitely bear watching going forward

445
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: here in terms of what the Bengals decide. But here's

446
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: the Bengals schedule, Steve for our MSG viewers. So, as

447
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: we mentioned Rams at home Monday night football, followed by

448
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: Roady's at Tennessee and Arizona, then home against Seattle followed

449
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 2: by a bye. Would you, Steve, if you are the

450
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: GM of the Bengals, and you know maybe a little

451
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: bit more about burrows injury and the severity of it,

452
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: would you wait until after the bye to put him

453
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: back on the field.

454
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

455
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: Well, bye is in week seven for Cincinnati, so that

456
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 2: means he sits the next four games. You are an

457
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: zero to two football team.

458
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: The interesting Jake Browning behind.

459
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: Him right, And here's the interesting thing, Jay only Browning.

460
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: Only one of your next four games is an AFC

461
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: game that could affect you in the conference standings and

462
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: high breakers and things like that. I mean, I realize

463
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: common opponents come into play too, but the bulk of

464
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: your AFC slate is after the bye. Something tells me

465
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: Cincinnati is not going to do that. I think he

466
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 2: misses a game at most and then they'll just trot

467
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: him back out there and say, let's.

468
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: Go get him, Joe. If if he misses this game

469
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: and they don't win it.

470
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 2: He's definitely out there the next week.

471
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: If they if they find a way to beat win

472
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: this game with Jake Browning.

473
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: And that's a big six nine with a capital I

474
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: and a capital aged twenty seven.

475
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: He's been this Jake Brown bounced around. He's twenty seven. Yeah, never,

476
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: he's got one year of experience.

477
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 2: Well not really, he's got practice squad experience.

478
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: They ain't gonna beat the Rams with that guy, probably not.

479
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: So you're zero to three now, then to me, Then

480
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: Joe shuts it down, gets healthy, comes back, and you

481
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: try and make a run at it in with the AFC.

482
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: You bring him back after the bye if you go

483
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: in three with this guy.

484
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: So you're saying, if he loses, you definitely shut him down.

485
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: I was kind of going the other way. Go oh

486
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: and three this week, you got to shut him down.

487
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: You can't. There are many teams that have come back

488
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: from O and three. I think there's only three teams

489
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: that have started the season oh and three and qualified

490
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 2: for the playoffs. The ninety eight Bills being one of them.

491
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 2: That's a tough road of ho there. One quick bills.

492
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: Note the uniform combos are out. Bills are going with

493
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: the Stormtrooper. Look this week, Steve all white baby, white helmets,

494
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: white jerseys, white pants.

495
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: Let's go Yeah, me like you that that's awesome. I

496
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: love that man that that pops.

497
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: It looks great on TV.

498
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: They got some great I love the Bill's uniform combinations.

499
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: They've got some good ones. I even like that the

500
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: home one that they had this last week with the

501
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: blue one with white helmet.

502
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: They had the classic blue and white jumps many the

503
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: blue pops ably and this white on white man.

504
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: That is.

505
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, they come out of the tunnel. They look like stormtroopers.

506
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: YEA pretty cool.

507
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: Great.

508
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: I love it. So uh, that'll be a cool look

509
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: on Sunday against Washington. I wonder if Washington's going all burgundy,

510
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: then they might be maybe burgundy top to bottom. I

511
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: guess that would be the uniform combination. We have to

512
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: step aside here because when we return, you can have

513
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer on the set. Therman Thomas love

514
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: to get his thoughts on Buffalo's downhill rushing attack last

515
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 2: week that bashed its way for what was it one

516
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty something the yards last Week's gotta be

517
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 2: happy about that, So we'll get his thoughts on that

518
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 2: and where that running game can go going forward here

519
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: next on One Bill's Live, presented by Cold of Health,

520
00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right here we are One

521
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and in studio with

522
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 2: us the Hall of Famer Therm and Thomas, who has

523
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 2: got to be over the moon about the downhill rushing

524
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: attack that he witnessed last week against the Raiders. Tell

525
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: us them, were you in like heaven last week? What

526
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: were you in heaven last week watching this?

527
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 6: I just went to the store and bought like for

528
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 6: James Cook Jersey. I just went to the Bill's store,

529
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 6: and yeah, you know, I had a little bit more time,

530
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 6: I probably would have worn one on the set, okay,

531
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 6: because man, well, hey, look, okay, it's it's the Raiders

532
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 6: and they're pretty decent defense. Yeah it's okay, but you

533
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 6: know what, you give it to the guys up front, man.

534
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 4: And uh.

535
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 6: And I can remember being I was watching the game

536
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 6: and I kept looking at it like, okay, boy, he's

537
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 6: getting close to one hundred yards. I want to see

538
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 6: it because the game was kind of out of control.

539
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 6: Wanted to see like what is mcdermamy gonna do? What

540
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 6: are you gonna sit him down or what. I just

541
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 6: loved the fact that he was out there, he got

542
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 6: over one hundred yards.

543
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: And came out snapped off a big run, strapped.

544
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: Up a big run.

545
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 7: I was like, this is it?

546
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 6: But that gives the offensive line obviously gonna get a

547
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 6: little bit tougher throughout the year, but it gives the

548
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 6: offensive line of some confidence to block on certain plays.

549
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 6: I mean, he's obviously he's great at the draw. That

550
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 6: player has worked a lot. But you know what, look

551
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 6: what happened Josh thirty one or thirty seven takes some pressure.

552
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot in this because you know, everybody we

553
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: were talking about how Josh was, you know, struggle against

554
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: the Jets, and it was it seemed to be his

555
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: mindset right, he was trying to win the game on

556
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 1: every play and all of that, and then he come

557
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: out there this week and totally different, totally different mindset.

558
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, clue.

559
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: People give people your perspective on what it's like to

560
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 1: prepare for a game like that when you know you're

561
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: gonna play different.

562
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 6: Oh well, I'm probably not talking to anybody. I'm just

563
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 6: going by my own experience.

564
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: Like, leave me alone. I just had a turbo game.

565
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: Don't mess with me. I'm fine.

566
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 6: You know what, you go out there, you you take

567
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 6: an extra report to you talked I talked to Elijah

568
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 6: Pitts a lot more than I would do, So yeah,

569
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 6: a lot of it.

570
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: Goes into it.

571
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 7: And plus, you know, you do the little things that

572
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 7: really get you going.

573
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 3: And you know that's the offensive line.

574
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: When you go in there like a guy like Josh,

575
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: he goes in there, he's throwing playing the game that

576
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: we saw him play on Sunday. Is it because because

577
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: we were hearing this about like justin fields today, like, well,

578
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: I can't really play free and easy when I got

579
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: all this stuff. For me, it is a thing when

580
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: you go out there and play free and easy. But

581
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: when you go out there and Josh seems like he

582
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: was thinking his way through that game. There is a

583
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: kind of a balance there, right between playing free and

584
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: easy and then lane and I ain't gonna do that.

585
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this, you know, I'm I'm gonna stay disciplined.

586
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this one.

587
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 6: And that's why he was what thirty one thirty seven,

588
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 6: That's why I mean that was three percent. I think

589
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 6: he just got name Offensive Player of the week. So

590
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 6: I mean, there you go. I mean, you talk about

591
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 6: the bounce back game, that's it. Obviously you weren't going

592
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 6: against a defense like the Jets. But Josh has been

593
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 6: in this situation a couple of times throughout his career

594
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 6: where he's played not up to his expectation and what

595
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 6: we expect of him every single week.

596
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, and look at the little checkdowns and everything.

597
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 7: I mean, everything is on time, everything.

598
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 6: Is ready, and I guarantee it was probably last week

599
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 6: was probably his best week of practice since training camp.

600
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: What about the offense's ability to run it in the

601
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: red zone, as you know them, that is a hard

602
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: place to get consistent gains even against average defenses because

603
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: everything's so tightly packed down there. What what is What

604
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: was your assessment of the success they had down there,

605
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: which you know helped them go five for seven in

606
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: the red zone and four or five in goal to

607
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 2: go situations.

608
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: Well, they got a nice three headed monster back there.

609
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

610
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 6: All those guys really do Uh Murray, Harris and Cook,

611
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 6: they really do a great job of you know, they

612
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 6: know what they are.

613
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 3: I mean you see Murray right there.

614
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 6: I mean it's I'm going downhill, baby, That's all it is.

615
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 6: And I think the offensive lineman know that, Hey, I

616
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 6: just need to get on a body on a body

617
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 6: and let my big running backs in the back, Damon

618
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 6: Harris also do their thing, and they know when Cook

619
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 6: is back there, it's gonna be a little bit different

620
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 6: because he's a smaller guy, does a lot of you know,

621
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 6: cuts and everything like that. But when you have these

622
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 6: two guys right here, it's just downhill baby, and I

623
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 6: think offensive line and it's none of that pulling or

624
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 6: anything like that.

625
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: No, it's just man or man and.

626
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 6: You try to go get your guy and let those

627
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 6: guys pick a hole, which I love to see that

628
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 6: Josh was in. They were in the I formation under center,

629
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 6: under center, man, it's been.

630
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: The topic of the week.

631
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: Oh has it more under center? More?

632
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 6: And you can still do the play action, you can

633
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 6: still do all that, but I think it just gives

634
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 6: an opportunity, especially for a guy like James James Cook.

635
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 6: You can see the cutback, you can see everything from

636
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 6: seven yards, then you can five yards next to the quarterback.

637
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: I just that just has always been my opinion.

638
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 6: And I think even with the league now you're seeing

639
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 6: more guys get under center.

640
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: What did you notice about the play calling? Obviously the

641
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: under center stuff you noticed and when they got it,

642
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: when they're winning thirty eight ten or even thirty one

643
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: to ten, you're thinking, Okay, gonna run the football a

644
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: lot more. Anyway, what did you think about Ken dorsey

645
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: to play calling and how the offense look you know,

646
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: as a when they put that game away, Wow.

647
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 6: I thought it was a way so I didn't finish

648
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 6: watching it.

649
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: Kind of Wow, I was.

650
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 7: I was in the book exactly.

651
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 6: I was kind of going back to what last year

652
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 6: or two when it was over in the mid third quarter,

653
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 6: I was ready to go.

654
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got yeah.

655
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: I was kind of out of.

656
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: That and playing with the grand kids.

657
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: I got you.

658
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad.

659
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 7: I didn't really Washington rest of the game.

660
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: For it look good.

661
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: But once again, twelve personnel was a big part of

662
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: the game plan, and you know, they used it somewhat

663
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: for protection purposes with Max Crosby over there on Spencer

664
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: brown Side helped him out a little bit when they

665
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: had to. And obviously twelve personnel is going to be

666
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 2: very big for them in the red zone, which it

667
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: was again for the second week in a row. I'm

668
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: very curious to see if it becomes their number one

669
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 2: personnel grouping them because for the last three years, maybe

670
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: even four. This has been predominantly an eleven personnel team,

671
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: and twelve is kind of creeping up on eleven here

672
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: and threatening to take over. And we're only two weeks in.

673
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, I think it's it'll come down

674
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 6: to what type of defense that we're playing against too.

675
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 6: I think that will play a playoff factory into that.

676
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 6: But you know what, when when looking at that game,

677
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 6: I was in at the end of the game and

678
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 6: you look.

679
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 3: At the stats or whatever, and night, wow, they hell

680
00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: the ball for forty minutes.

681
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 6: Yeah when it said forty and nineteen, first thing came

682
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 6: to my mind with Super Bowl twenty five.

683
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 3: Well yeah, well yeah, okay, so you guys already talked

684
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 3: about that.

685
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: No I didn't say, I don't mention.

686
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I'm just saying that was the first day.

687
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 3: Well I will because.

688
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: Exactly what you went through.

689
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and uh so I was like, oh man, that's

690
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 6: and they did it a lot with twelve coming up there,

691
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 6: so you know, instead of playing eleven all the time.

692
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 6: So yeah, and like that, now you you give defenses

693
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 6: a lip a little different for the look they're going

694
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 6: to have to adjust to you because you're doing it well.

695
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 6: And so we'll see what happens against Washington. I think

696
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 6: I don't know where Washington's defense is ranked.

697
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: Right now, the tenth overall, seventeenth in points all out.

698
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you know what, the atmosphere for the Commanders

699
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 6: is probably real high right now.

700
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 3: Sam how is a quarterback? Yeah? Well two and oh yeah,

701
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 3: two and oh.

702
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 7: You know you got the new ownership coming in.

703
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: You know, new energy there.

704
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: It's new energy there. Yeah, and I think Magic Johnson

705
00:35:59,040 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 3: brings a lot of.

706
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 6: Energy to wherever he goes and to whatever he gets

707
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 6: bobbed into. So, uh, it'll be a different matchup. Could

708
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 6: very well be like the Raiders. I think there are

709
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 6: four to three football team.

710
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 2: Right they are. The only difference is they got first

711
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: round picks across the front. Montes sweat Jonathan Allen, we

712
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 2: got three darn Payne and Chase Young.

713
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's their first they're.

714
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: All first round picks.

715
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 3: Well, we got some veteran guys. Let's let's let's see

716
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 3: who wins. They got.

717
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: They got seven sacks to slap their number two in

718
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: sacks per attempt. But you know they're in the they're

719
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack right now, passing yards, rushing, yards,

720
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: total yards kind of thing. So, but last year they

721
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: were top five and about all of them, and they

722
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: were the best third down defense in football. Last year,

723
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: the Bills were the best third down offense. That's gonna

724
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: be a fun matchup. That's gonna be a fun match

725
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: But I think for the Bills, and we were talking

726
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: about this, they got to stay third and less than five.

727
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 3: Rather, they can't go plug.

728
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's when those guys are really Yeah, that's when

729
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 6: those guys reality.

730
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 7: Of But I think I think this team right now.

731
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 3: You look at him. Obviously, the first week.

732
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 6: Didn't go the way, and they came out and showed

733
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 6: everybody who they are, right, they really are. So now

734
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 6: you know they're confidence the sky high right now. Say, hey,

735
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 6: last time we were on the road, you know what

736
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 6: we got beat. Let's go down there and do something

737
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 6: so against Washington.

738
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the passing game firm nine different players catch

739
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: footballs from Josh. How much more difficult does that make

740
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: the Bills offense to prepare for if you're the Washington

741
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 2: defense when you see that many people getting involved. Yeah,

742
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: I mean they scored five touchdowns last week. None of

743
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: them were named digs, right, I know, right, so does

744
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 2: that make it more difficult to prepare for?

745
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 8: So?

746
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 6: I think so too, because now you're like, Okay, do

747
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 6: we double this guy?

748
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 3: Now? Do we double and take a chance on him?

749
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 6: Because if we double him Diggs, this could lead for

750
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 6: a huge day for Diggs.

751
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, So, I mean I think it'd be tough for him.

752
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 3: Really to try to it out.

753
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

754
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how this

755
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: offense evolves and who because you know, right now, Dalton

756
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: k Cage is kind of under the radar. Yeah, but

757
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: if he stays on the pace he's at, he'll shatter

758
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: the rookie tight end record for the NFL. Yeah, in history.

759
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: And that's it. That's the way they're using him right now.

760
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: Possession receiver just what we thought, possession receiver get a

761
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: first down, makes some he's getting rips and he's getting

762
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: a lot out of rum on the field, which I

763
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: think is just as important as anything. Even if they

764
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: don't target him, give him twenty targets a game or

765
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: even right targets a game. Getting him out there and

766
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: getting him used to being an NFL player is huge,

767
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: probably for a first year guy.

768
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 3: Because he's an athletic guy. He can move very well.

769
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 6: So I don't think they're kind of worried about, you know, well,

770
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 6: he's not in this passing player or this running play.

771
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 3: Or he's on the back side of it.

772
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 6: I think just the fact that, you know, he's an

773
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 6: agile guy that's very.

774
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 3: Athletic, great ability, and he needs to.

775
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 6: Be out there to see all these different things right now,

776
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 6: because as you see from first two games, he's going

777
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 6: to be out on the field a lot. And I

778
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 6: don't know if that's competed the wide receiver or a

779
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 6: tight end, but he's going to be in a lot

780
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 6: and his head is probably kind of spinning right now,

781
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 6: but they're kind of like taking it slow and not

782
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 6: let's not put him in every passing route, right So,

783
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 6: I think right now they're just getting him adjusted for

784
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 6: the long haul because he's going to be out.

785
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 3: There a lot.

786
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: Another guy that's gonna be out there a lot, who

787
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: we already talked about is Cook. I don't know about you,

788
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: but it seemed to me like it was easy for

789
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: James to get the corner on a lot of those runs,

790
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: whether he bounced him outside or they were designed to

791
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: go out there. And I'm doing the broadcast saying to myself.

792
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: I was saying it on the broadcast. I was like,

793
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: I feel like Las Vegas is like underestimating his speed

794
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 2: because their angles of entry were so poor, or they

795
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: were getting completely out flying by James who was getting

796
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 2: to the corner every time. Yeah, is that just bad

797
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 2: defense or is James just that fast? I know he

798
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: ran a four to four to two at the combine.

799
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that could be a combination of both

800
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 6: bad defense guys. I like that guy's just not set

801
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 6: in the edge, guys just not setting the end.

802
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 7: Couldn't figure it out, and so yeah.

803
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 2: It was the whole game. They never adjusted.

804
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 6: Maybe they they don't have the personnel to make that.

805
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a good point.

806
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 6: I mean, you can like go throughout the history, I

807
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 6: mean not the history, but their roster right now and

808
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 6: you look at the guy behind him and be like.

809
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 3: Huh who yeah, right.

810
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, you won't even know who he was. So I

811
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 6: think that's kind of an experience on their part. Hey, look,

812
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 6: we've played in this league a long time. You sometimes Man,

813
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 6: it's also great to have that veteran out there, even

814
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 6: if you know he's not what he used to be,

815
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 6: because he can design he can sniff out of play, right,

816
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 6: He saying, Look, I'm at the age now where you know.

817
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 7: What, I gotta set the edge. I have to set

818
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 7: to edge.

819
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: I can't let this guy.

820
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 3: That's all I gotta do. And I think some of

821
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 3: these younger guys just don't.

822
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: Even have to make the tackle.

823
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 4: You're right there.

824
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 6: You got three guys that were inside the numbers, even

825
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 6: though broke it in the inside, but they were they

826
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 6: were right there just looking. So we'll Yeah, I think

827
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 6: this offensive line going to get better and better after

828
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 6: the year goes on.

829
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because that they're playing a team that

830
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: most people, okay, they kind of think they're the Washington

831
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: Redskins in the past six or seven years, but since

832
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: Week six of last year, they're nine to four and one.

833
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: They are winning games. They're winning game, they're winning twice

834
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: as many games as they're losing, and they're they're playing well.

835
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: And Ron Revene, you get got to give Ron Rivera

836
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: really a lot of credit. He got his hundredth win

837
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: as an NFL coach head coach last week, and that's

838
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 1: that's a milestone. Yeah, that's big. So this is gonna

839
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: be a game that on the road in a new

840
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 1: invigorated fan base down in Washington, with a new ownership

841
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: and all of that. This is yeah, this is the

842
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins team we've seen for the last day.

843
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 3: No, and watch for Logan Thomas too.

844
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right for it.

845
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked back and forth. Watch him.

846
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 6: I mean, actually, since he left for the Bills and

847
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 6: been with the rest, he's been playing pretty well.

848
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: Been playing well.

849
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 2: He's been playing in his tenth year, right, me too.

850
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 3: I looked at that this morning. I was like, oh

851
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 3: my god, he's in his tenth year.

852
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 6: But he's been playing the last kind of when he

853
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 6: got shipped out of here and went to Washington, might

854
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 6: have went somewhere before that.

855
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 3: He's been playing really, really well.

856
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: So I've just found a spot. He found a spot,

857
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: and they gave him an opportunity that he could exploit.

858
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: And it was, you know, the right opportunity at the

859
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: right time of his career where it clicked for him

860
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: and he could make some things happen. And then all

861
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden it expanded and he kept It's just

862
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: it takes a long time for some guys to find

863
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: a spot where they can exploit. Uh, and the opportunity

864
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: Geno Smith right, right.

865
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: It took him ten years. It takes a spot.

866
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but also he never got a chance. I mean,

867
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play ahead of Russ. No, but you

868
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: got to hang in there, you know, And it's hard.

869
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: That's as hard as anything.

870
00:42:59,480 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: Man.

871
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 6: You gotta turn into a pro because you don't want

872
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 6: your career to be over just yet.

873
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 1: Right, And finally when somebody is all right, you're gonna

874
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: be in you're gonna play, and you finally get in

875
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: there and say okay, and you catch the pass and

876
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, and you string him together and all of

877
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, here's.

878
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 6: Some more somebody really believes it. There's not that they

879
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 6: didn't believe in him here when the bills, but it just.

880
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 7: Got to it.

881
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 6: What I mean, Ron Rivera was a head coach, I

882
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 6: mean just everything just kind of.

883
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing too. Yeah, it's great. It's great to

884
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: see it for guys, you know, whether on your team

885
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: or not, when you understand what they've been through and

886
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: the fact that some some little switch just went different,

887
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: went the other way rather getting flipped off and got

888
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: flipped on. And there it is.

889
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 2: We'll have to see if he's available this week because

890
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: he did leave that game and went into the protocol

891
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: I think for a concussion on a on a touchdown catch.

892
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: He caught it and then stayed down after he caught it.

893
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: So we'll have to see what their Wednesday injury report

894
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 2: looks like. We take a break here, but more with

895
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: Thurman when we return here on One Bill's Live, presented

896
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 2: by Colid of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right

897
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 2: back here on One Bill's Live with the Hall of

898
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 2: Famer Thurman thomasin studio with us here on a Wednesday

899
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 2: and therem I know u b Jon Robinson's taken the

900
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: league by storm after just two games, but the Washington

901
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: Commanders have a Robinson as well, Brian Robinson. It's kind

902
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 2: of more of a hammer type back. What do you

903
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: have you seen enough of him to kind of have

904
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: an opinion on him.

905
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him.

906
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 6: Get rid of Bernard fifteen tackles because they gonna run it.

907
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: It's one five.

908
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 7: That's a lot. That's a load right there. That's almost

909
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 7: like Murray, Well, Murray's what.

910
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: Six three tackling, It's like for Bernard's like tackling himself.

911
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: He's that's his size. Yeah, that's his size twins, So

912
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: at least it's not like Derrick Henry or somebody.

913
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean by yeah.

914
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: He's coming downhill.

915
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: He's coming downhill.

916
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 7: I haven't seen any highlights of him.

917
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 2: He's got two or three touchdowns already, one receiving, by

918
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 2: the way, so he is capable out of the backfield

919
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: as a pass catcher as well. But they'll roll those

920
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: guys through there like they do with most teams. But

921
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: Robinson is the featured guy quote unquote feature back now

922
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: is not what it used to be.

923
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 5: Is.

924
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 3: I don't have to tell you that he's part of

925
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: a committee.

926
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

927
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: What do you think of committee? I don't like.

928
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 7: Here's the thing term.

929
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I think we would all agree that

930
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: it is completely a passing league now, and so running

931
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 2: backs do have to have a diverse skill set if

932
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: they want to stay on the field, number one. But

933
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 2: number two, they're running less than maybe they ever have

934
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 2: before on average across the league, and yet there are

935
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: more backs than ever populating offensive backfields through the course

936
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: of a game. And it's not because of any kind

937
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: of specialization that we used to see, you know, Kenny

938
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 2: Davis comes out for you to give you a break

939
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: here or there, or there's other teams that have a

940
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: third down back or a scat back or whatever you

941
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 2: want to call it. Nowadays, it's just we got three guys.

942
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 2: We're going to roll them through, you know, whoever happens

943
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 2: to be out there when we're calling a run place

944
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 2: sobeit like it, it doesn't seem to be as much

945
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: dedicated rhyme or reason to who is on the field

946
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 2: at a particular time.

947
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely not delicate delegated to one guy anymore.

948
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 6: It's two or three guys, and you know, being at

949
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 6: that position now, it's I have a hard time watching

950
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 6: it occur throughout the game because I look at a

951
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 6: guy like James Cook like I want to have a

952
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 6: I want to get into a rhythm when I'm out there.

953
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 6: I know this is your system, I know this is

954
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 6: how we do things. But in order for me to

955
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 6: be at my best, I need I need to be

956
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 6: out there for.

957
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 3: Ten plays in a row.

958
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing.

959
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 7: I don't need to be out there on first down

960
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 7: and come back on a second.

961
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 2: Take that rhythm a step further though them. Because I

962
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: think people hear that all the time, but I don't

963
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: know if they know what that means. So what are

964
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 2: the advantages that give you or put you in that

965
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 2: rhythm against the defense that you're facing, Like, spell it

966
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 2: out for me. Are you able to set up defenders better?

967
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 2: What are the what's the checklist as to why you're

968
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: in a better rhythm when you're out.

969
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 6: There, I'm able to do a checklist of who's in

970
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 6: the game. Is there an extra linebacker in the game?

971
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 6: Is there an extra dB in the game? Do I

972
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 6: know if there's an extra linebacker in the game? Okay,

973
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 6: well that extra linebacker or defense, I mean it might

974
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 6: be used up by the tight end Pete Metzilars. If

975
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 6: you have a dB in there, all of a sudden,

976
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 6: oh Pete Messinar is not gonna be blocking a DV.

977
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 6: It could be a wide receiver. So you put all

978
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 6: those factors in there. You see there in four down

979
00:47:52,160 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 6: two yeah, four two five, Right, things changed. But you

980
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 6: know what, when you're running plays, they're they're changing because

981
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 6: you're in there.

982
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: That's the thing. You gotta you that that rhythm you're

983
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: talking about, you get into the rhythm with what their

984
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff is doing. Against your offense. So you're understanding

985
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: the nuances of the defensive changes and their mindset and

986
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,959
Speaker 1: how it's changing. And then you hear the play call

987
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, Okay, now I got this, and here's

988
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: what they're this is what we're gonna do against this,

989
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean. So you can stay

990
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: half a step ahead while knowing the short term memory

991
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: of what happened in the last couple of plays and

992
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: set up and how they've changed because you've been strom

993
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: in them or because or else if you haven't been

994
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: stroming them. They're doing really well and they ain't changing.

995
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: So now it's like, okay, I'll try this.

996
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 4: Here we go.

997
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: Right you are, You are up to speed where with

998
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: where both coaching staffs are adjusting to each other. Where

999
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 1: you come off, you come off the field. You gotta

1000
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: watch and see what the plays go.

1001
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 2: Not the same as looking at the pictures on the sideline,

1002
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 2: No it's not.

1003
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so and plus you the guys around you the

1004
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: same way. You know they're staying in the offensive linemen

1005
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: are staying in the field. You hear their conversations and

1006
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: that you know. So you're just more and further and

1007
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: further down that rabbit hole of being immersed in what's

1008
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: going on in the strategy of that game, and if

1009
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: you come in and out you're deprived of that a

1010
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: little bit.

1011
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 6: At least a little bit like if you're come in

1012
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 6: and out, you're gonna be like, oh who they.

1013
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 3: Bring it in?

1014
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, that's fair. Ten seconds them.

1015
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: Do you do you like the chances here on the

1016
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 2: road this week?

1017
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, I think that just game. Yeah, it's

00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 3: out of the way. We got a first Big three. Yeah,

1052
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: like we are every In case you missed Therman's comments,

1053
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 2: you have some good stuff to offer on the Bills

1054
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,479
Speaker 2: run game and on James Cook.

1055
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's stuff about getting into a rhythm and with

1056
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: your offense, you know, the way teams do it with

1057
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: the committees, there's obviously the the other edge of that

1058
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: sword is that you've got a guy in there that

1059
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: is fresh, yep, and and and ready to go one.

1060
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 2: And throwing something different at that defense that no longer

1061
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 2: can get used to how one guy runs.

1062
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: Right, and they are and I think most teams have

1063
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: gotten in and plus it has turned into a throwing

1064
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: league as well, So you want that aspect on the

1065
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: field all the time as much as you can. And

1066
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: so the days of a running back being a running

1067
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: back only are long gone. If you can't catch the ball,

1068
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: you can't play. And so all of these guys have

1069
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: a little of that in them. But the better they

1070
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: are at it, the more time they get and the

1071
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: and the better offensive coordinators like it. So yeah, this

1072
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: committee thing for running backs and it's here to stay,

1073
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: I think, at least for the foreseeable future. It's not

1074
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: going anywhere. I don't know that the way the league

1075
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: is structured that this pendulum is ever going to swing

1076
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: back the other direction to look like a team that

1077
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: runs first passes second. Yeah, I just don't think you

1078
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: can win that way.

1079
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 2: No, I mean not unless you have some kind of

1080
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 2: unstoppable force.

1081
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: This you think about it. Even the Bills is like

1082
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: they ran thirty five and through and through thirty seven times.

1083
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: They were up by multiple, multiple scores. They were about

1084
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 1: twenty one and twenty eight late in the fourth quarter.

1085
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: That's how this running thing got skewed like it is.

1086
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: If they wouldn't have if that would have been a

1087
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: tighter game, you can bet it would have been fifty

1088
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: to twenty.

1089
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 3: You know.

1090
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: If there's how many plays, is that thirty five thirty seven,

1091
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: that's seventy two plays. I get that right. Raiders ran

1092
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: thirty nine public public math. I don't want to seventy

1093
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: two plays. It would have been twenty and fifty two,

1094
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: fifty two passes, twenty runs if that game would have

1095
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: been close, in my opinion, you know, if the same

1096
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: note you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but because you're

1097
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 1: up by eighteen, then twenty one and then twenty eight,

1098
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: they're just handing it off.

1099
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 2: I'm very curious because Thurman talked about this, he was

1100
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 2: very happy with the production they're getting off those draws,

1101
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 2: which they sometimes run out of the shotgun. Josh will

1102
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 2: take the snap and then run over to James and

1103
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 2: hand it to him. I think they averaged like seven

1104
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 2: yards on draw plays over the last two weeks. It's

1105
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 2: been an effective weapon for them. I'm wondering what Washington

1106
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 2: schemes up to try to defend that. Yeah, well that's

1107
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 2: you know, because now they've seen it on tape for

1108
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 2: the last two weeks and it's worked right.

1109
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: Well, it's like it's play action. You fake the run,

1110
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: make think you're gonna run it and then throw it,

1111
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: or it's a screen pass where you know, you let

1112
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: him come through and do it, but it's faking the

1113
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: run and then throwing the ball or back in shotgun

1114
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 1: spread formation, you're gonna throw it. No, we're gonna run it.

1115
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 2: Because they always James offset like he's almost like hiding

1116
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 2: behind the line so they can't see him.

1117
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: Well, it's almost two when they've got him back there

1118
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: at Josh's depth way out wide, like he's gonna go

1119
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: right away, and they got to They got a line

1120
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 1: of defender up out wide to get some keep leverage

1121
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: and Josh, like you said, Josh grabs the snap out

1122
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: of the shotgun and runs over to James Cook and

1123
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: gives it to him.

1124
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: Because they're thinking Cook's in there for pass protection, right,

1125
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden it's like, oh crap,

1126
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,919
Speaker 2: he's got the ball right and he's running and he's

1127
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 2: so small in stature. I think sometimes they lose him

1128
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,760
Speaker 2: back there. And here's like, if you're at the second level,

1129
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 2: you could lose him easily, especially when you've got your

1130
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 2: eyes on Josh.

1131
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: And when you've got your offensive line who knows it's

1132
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a run and the d defense hesitates for

1133
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 1: a minute thinking it's going to be a pass. Your

1134
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: offensive line can get that that split second of leverage

1135
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: on their blocks, get to the second level, make sure

1136
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: they can get their angles right. It gives that offensive

1137
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 1: line a half a second or less, but that much

1138
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: time to gain the advantage when the defense thinks you're

1139
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: doing something that you're not.

1140
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones. Eight oh three five fifty

1141
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 2: one eight eight eight five point fifty two five fifty.

1142
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: If you want to chime in here today, let's go

1143
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 2: to Jim and Jamestown. Jim, what you got for us?

1144
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 2: You're on one Bill's Live.

1145
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, Hey, guys doing today good excellent.

1146
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 10: Now.

1147
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,280
Speaker 9: I know it's only been two weeks in the season,

1148
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 9: but uh, and then and the NFC, name see who

1149
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 9: would have got cossably going for a subowl run right now?

1150
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: If any Dallas and San Francisco to me, definitely man

1151
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: there there could be another one too that jumps up

1152
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: green Bay posts green Bay. I want to see more

1153
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: from Green Bay. I don't know enough about what you know.

1154
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if enough about I haven't seen enough

1155
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: of them to know or to you know, make that call.

1156
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: But I would say, like I said, I would say

1157
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: those two San Francisco in Dallas for sure.

1158
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 9: What he got in AFC, Well.

1159
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: In the AFC, it's Miami. You gotta think about Miami.

1160
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: If two is healthy, they're they're a problem. The Bills. Uh,

1161
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna be there at the end. Joe

1162
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: Burrow puts the Bengals in doubt his injury.

1163
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 2: I think the Ravens are Ravens.

1164
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: The Ravens are a good football team, so I think,

1165
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: and I hate to say it, Jacksonville is no slouchy.

1166
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: They took one on the chin last week, but that's

1167
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: who I'm thinking. It's gonna be Baltimore, Miami, the Bills,

1168
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Yeah, that's that's who I'm thinking.

1169
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 9: All right, thanks guys, you've.

1170
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 2: Got it, Jim, We're here to help man.

1171
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1172
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 2: I think the AFC is a crowded field, and knowing

1173
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 2: how long this season is, injuries I think are obviously

1174
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 2: going to play a factor, as we've already seen with

1175
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow and how long how long is he either

1176
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 2: playing and ineffective or out of the lineup, When is

1177
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 2: he going to look like Joe Burrow again? That that's

1178
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: the fifty three million dollar question or the two hundred

1179
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 2: and seventy five million dollar question in Cincinnati. But I

1180
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 2: think I think Baltimore has got some staying power here. Obviously,

1181
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 2: Lamar's got to stay healthy, something he could not do

1182
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 2: each of the last two years, which compromised their chances.

1183
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 2: Two years ago they didn't even make the playoffs because

1184
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 2: he was hurt. Last year they got in gave Cincinnati

1185
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 2: all they could handle was Snoop Huntley, their backup quarterback

1186
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 2: in the game. They want to get to the end

1187
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 2: of the season with Lamar for sure, and the new

1188
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 2: passing game there under Todd Monkin, who just won two

1189
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 2: national titles with Georgia and then came to the Ravens.

1190
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 2: Has worked wonders for Lamar's passing. I mean, Josh Allen

1191
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 2: right now leads the league in completion percentage number two

1192
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 2: in the League's Lamar seventy four and a half percent.

1193
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 2: And he's throwing downfield. He's not just throwing dink and

1194
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 2: dunk stuff. He's got had more success on his downfield passing,

1195
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 2: which was the one knock on his passing ability.

1196
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: Jim from Jamestown just ask about whether greenbe I think

1197
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay could make the playoffs this year. They were

1198
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: eight and nine last year.

1199
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 2: Jordan loves played well, six touchdowns, no picks.

1200
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: They're one and one. Lost their game by a point

1201
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: to the Falcons. So I don't know what the Falcons

1202
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: are going to do this year. They've got the fourth

1203
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: place schedule though.

1204
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 2: Well, both of those teams are in weak divisions.

1205
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: Right, They've got a weak division and they're playing a

1206
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: third or fourth place schedule. So they got the Saints,

1207
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: the Lions, the Raiders, the Broncos, and they've got the Rams.

1208
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: But then in the second half they're going to get

1209
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Chiefs, the Giants, the Buccaneers, you know,

1210
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: so we'll see. So I think there's enough, you know,

1211
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: teams that are struggling on their get with the Raiders,

1212
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: the Lions, and the Saints, the Broncos. Yeah, the Green

1213
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Bay Packers can make that can make a run at

1214
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year.

1215
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 2: No question to Richard and Tonawanda. Next, what do you

1216
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 2: got for us, Richard your own Bill's Live.

1217
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 5: Hello. I've bet a Bill's fan since the old days

1218
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 5: of the War Memorial and I saw quite a few

1219
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 5: games down there. My question is is on game preparation. Obviously,

1220
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 5: players go up against new players every week. I'd like

1221
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 5: to know if there's like a coach or a specialist

1222
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 5: that reviews the film with the players to see the

1223
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 5: strength and weaknesses of the exact player that they're going

1224
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 5: to play. You know, you could take Spencer Brown and

1225
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 5: against the opponent that he was going to go against,

1226
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 5: and I know he has I want to know if

1227
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 5: there's insight from the coaching department for each player on

1228
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 5: the Bills when they look at the opponent, the player

1229
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 5: that they're going to glance against that week.

1230
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, they go into great detail about what makes

1231
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: the other player a good player, what his strengths and

1232
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: weaknesses are, how you can combat it. What kind of

1233
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: players have been successful against that guy, What kind of

1234
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: things have not worked on that guy. What the other

1235
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: team asks that guy to do specifically against you, What

1236
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: you can expect from him in certain down and distances. Yes,

1237
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: all of that stuff is sliced and diced and serve

1238
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: to the player. They they they can get as much

1239
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: information about the guys they're going to go against as

1240
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: they as they can stand. Now, it becomes a lot

1241
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: to handle. Like, for instance, you're talking about Spencer Brown.

1242
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown may see four different rushers in this game

1243
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: on his edge. They may switch guys around because of

1244
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: their game plan or what. So he's got to have

1245
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: a handle on what a lot of guys do and

1246
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: also get a handle on what their team likes to

1247
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: do with stunts and moves and this kind of thing. So, yeah,

1248
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot there, and they get all of that

1249
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: plus the guys what you'll have typically in an offensive line,

1250
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: you'll have those offensive line and they'll be like ten

1251
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: guys in the room and there's an open conversation talking

1252
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: about each of the guys they're facing. You can do

1253
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: it a couple of ways. You can call a play

1254
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: and say here's what we're doing this. You get this guy,

1255
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy, and if he does that, you

1256
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: do this. Yes, that's what being a pro football player

1257
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: is all about. And they have people on staff who

1258
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: break that stuff down for him. I know when I

1259
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: was playing, I would get the video crew to make tapes.

1260
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: They don't have to do video anymore. They don't have

1261
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: tapes they stick in the machine. What they do is

1262
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: they it's all on computer now, and they'll say, I

1263
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 1: want to see this team's punts inside their own forty

1264
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: yard line. I want to see what they do on

1265
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: punts inside their forty yard line, or I want to

1266
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: see every punt they have and I want to see

1267
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: it from the end zone angle. They'll put that request in,

1268
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: it'll come out. You just turn it on. Here it is,

1269
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: let's watch it. And I used to spend a lot

1270
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: of time watching guys I was going to go against

1271
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: they it's common, so yes.

1272
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 2: And there's an extra layer to that because you ask,

1273
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 2: you know, who's the person in the room. It's their

1274
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 2: position coach that's usually going through a lot of that

1275
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 2: film breakdown with them. But there's an added layer to that,

1276
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 2: and that's the advanced scouting department. So you have pro

1277
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 2: scouts scouting that team a week before you play them.

1278
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 2: So when you come in at least a week, probably

1279
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 2: least three two weeks, probably two or three games before

1280
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 2: you play them, they're out there looking at that team.

1281
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 2: So that the monday you come in after your last game,

1282
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 2: So the Monday before you play the Washington Commanders, your

1283
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 2: advanced scouting department, those guys are in a room with

1284
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 2: the coaching staff saying, here's what you got to know

1285
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 2: about these guys that you didn't pick up on film yourself.

1286
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Here are their personnel groupings, here are their calls, all

1287
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 2: of that stuff. Here's who they use in big Nickel,

1288
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 2: Here's who they use when they go three safeties, et cetera,

1289
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. So you have an advanced scouting

1290
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 2: staff trying to equip you with a jumping off point

1291
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 2: to start with, knowing you only got three or four

1292
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 2: days to know them, like the backyard, you.

1293
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Get yeah to get right. And they have people the

1294
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: in house as well, who start assimilating information days and

1295
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: weeks in advance of the game. So you've got people

1296
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: in your building that are starting to look like, right now,

1297
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: looking at the jaguars, right exactly, That's just what I

1298
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: was gonna say. They're looking at the teams that you're

1299
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: going to play down the road. You got people out

1300
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: there looking at the Jaguars and the giants starting to

1301
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: get a handle on those teams. And the closer you get,

1302
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: the more distilled the information comes, and you'll start, I mean,

1303
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: you'll start looking at concepts and stuff like that. Coaching

1304
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: staff will start thinking about that stuff. Like the week before,

1305
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Like when you're finishing up your preparation for the Raiders,

1306
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 1: You've already got guys in your office starting to think, Okay,

1307
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 1: let's put this together for the commanders. Here, we got this,

1308
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: and they'll start putting together the bones report for you. Yeah,

1309
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: they'll put together the bones. So yeah, they in short, yeah,

1310
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of that going on. That's all they do.

1311
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: They don't just go out and say, let's try this play,

1312
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, So.

1313
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 2: A lot of time invested and a lot of time,

1314
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 2: a lot of person power invested as well. So hopefully

1315
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 2: that helps explain that a little bit. We usually answer

1316
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 2: questions like that on Friday and our obl fan Friday

1317
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 2: email big. But those questions exist now we're happy to

1318
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 2: take them. We are anticipating at the close of Bill's

1319
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 2: practice today one Connor McGovern here in studio, So we

1320
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 2: look forward to that conversation here see how his first

1321
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 2: two games in a Bill's uniform has gone for him.

1322
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 2: And we'll also have players at the podium post practice.

1323
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 2: Usually on Wednesdays we get Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs, Jordan Poyer,

1324
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 2: guys like that. So we'll bring those to you in

1325
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 2: short order as soon as they are addressing the media.

1326
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 2: Is there anything beyond the front four Steve with this

1327
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 2: Commander's team that sticks out to you, because to me,

1328
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 2: that's the primary matchup. You know, the Bills have to handle.

1329
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 2: As I see it from a talent perspective. Now, they've

1330
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 2: got a talented receiving corps. I mean, you're talking about

1331
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 2: a third round pick and Terry McLaurin, who's more than

1332
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 2: proven himself at the NFL level, He's been a pro bowler.

1333
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 2: You have a have a first round pick in Johan Dotson,

1334
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 2: and you have a second round pick and Curtis Samuel.

1335
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 2: I mean there's talent there.

1336
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that you've got you're gonna have to

1337
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: when you're planning against physically talented guys, you've got to

1338
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: do everything right. I think becomes more of a to

1339
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: forget the physical challenge. It becomes more of a mental

1340
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: a mental exercise because you've got to really mind your

1341
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: piece and be in the right position feat work because

1342
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: you beat a superior athlete with technique and you rely

1343
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: on your coaching staff to put you in a position

1344
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: that gives you a chance to be successful. So it

1345
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: takes a deeper level when you feel a team's talented

1346
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: for more physically talented, maybe not more accomplished, but when

1347
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: you feel they're more physically talented, you really gotta You've

1348
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: really got to hone in on execution and being in

1349
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: the right spot and technique.

1350
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 2: Break time for us here when we return one of

1351

Speaker 2: Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome

Speaker 2: back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

1356
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 2: Please to have in studio with us, fresh off the

1357
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 2: practice field, your left guard Connor McGovern joining us. Good

1358
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 2: to have you with us, Connor, good to.

1359
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 4: See you sweaty, I am, yeah, Well.

1360
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 2: That's fine man. Hey, you're putting the work in. We're

1361
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 2: never going to argue with that. Two games in a

1362
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 2: Bill's uniform in the regular season, and uh, last week

1363
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:30,480
Speaker 2: was fantastic. But how do you feel like you've acclimated

1364
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 2: because you know, when you're making that kind of a

1365
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,600
Speaker 2: change as an offensive lineman. I mean, it's nice to

1366
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 2: have veterans on either side of it, you know in

1367
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 2: Dion and Mitche, but still it's you got it.

1368
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 4: There's an acclamation perre building that chemistry definitely.

1369
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 11: So how is that like during the offseason we got

1370
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 11: really close, but just getting the live action and that's

1371
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 11: where you really started. We had a week one and

1372
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 11: luckily we had a quick week. Not great for the body,

1373
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 11: but just helping us grow feel just being more and

1374
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 11: more comfortable with each other, just learn how each other plays.

1375
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 11: We got all the communication down. That's what this offseason

1376
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 11: is four and just feeling comfortable. I would say that's

1377
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 11: the main thing.

1378
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 1: Fans always watched the game and there and everybody's talking

1379
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: about the efficiency of the offense. I mean, you get

1380
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: we were talking before we came on on that fifteen

1381
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: play drive nine minutes off. Do you guys, is that

1382
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 1: the only way you kind of feel the difference in

1383
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: what it looks like you guys are down there in

1384
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: the tranches. I mean, you know, you got your heads down,

1385
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: and of course you feel a fifteen play drive rather

1386
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,719
Speaker 1: than a three play drive. But what do you guys

1387
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: notice about the way this offense clicked on Sunday as

1388
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: opposed to that Week one?

1389
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 11: I would say, uh, definitely, just being able to establish

1390
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 11: that run game early. Just eat up the clock when

1391
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 11: I think we had like forty minutes we had the ball.

1392
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 4: I would say, what really broke.

1393
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 11: Their defense was that long drive to start off the

1394
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 11: second quarter, Like we came out the last half.

1395
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, last drive of the first half.

1396
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 11: We scored, came out, got the ball, took down nine

1397
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 11: minutes and that broke their well, I think right there,

1398
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,600
Speaker 11: and then we were able that last drive was on

1399
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 11: the five yard line. We sorry what Marchworth down the

1400
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 11: field ninety five yards and scored and that was the game.

1401
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 2: It's not like Josh wasn't under center in week one,

1402
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 2: but seem to be under center a little bit more

1403
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 2: last week. And I'm curious, not that you have a

1404
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 2: choice in the matter, but when he's under center and

1405
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 2: he's turning around and you know whether it's play action

1406
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 2: or whether he is handing it off, you guys get

1407
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 2: to fire off the ball. I gotta believe you like that.

1408
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 11: I always love having my hand down and dirt, just

1409
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 11: being able to get off He saw on the goal

1410
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 11: line just half. That's my personal favorite. But whatever, however

1411
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 11: he wants to be back there, we'll do it.

1412
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you've got to got to know two this

1413
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: when you look at this group and start getting ready

1414
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: for the Commanders. They got a bunch of dude.

1415
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's seen a lot.

1416
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 11: I've seen it playing in the past four years, twice

1417
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 11: a year, So give him some insight to a lot

1418
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 11: of the guys. How they like to play their very

1419
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 11: sound front seven. They're all first round picks, they're all

1420
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 11: great players on their own, and it's just about when

1421
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 11: you're one on one this week pretty much, because that's

1422
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 11: how they want to just set everyone up one on

1423
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 11: one and try to beat you like that and let

1424
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 11: their guys play man so we just got to take

1425
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 11: it to him.

1426
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 2: Do you. So when talk to me about that, though, Connor,

1427
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 2: because when you have a working knowledge, I mean, because

1428
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 2: they've been there for a little while, you were in

1429
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 2: Dallas for a little while, You're playing them twice a year,

1430
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 2: so you know, you probably feel like you've got a

1431
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 2: pretty good bead, you know, on how Jonathan Allen plays

1432
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 2: or how Doron Payne plays, and you know you're talking

1433
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 2: about lending some of that to the guys in your room.

1434
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you would study less this week necessarily,

1435
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 2: but you have a jumping off point. So how much

1436
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:29,639
Speaker 2: easier does that make your week?

1437
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 11: That definitely makes my week a little bit easier. Like again,

1438
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 11: still watch the same amount of film, but I'm able

1439
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 11: to adjust, Like all right, I know how this guy's

1440
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 11: gonna play it this way, Like yeah, you know for

1441
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 11: an outside down, he's going to try counter this way

1442
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,879
Speaker 11: or whatnot, like started going into a fresh new mindset,

1443
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 11: Like I know their baselines and I'm able to help

1444
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,640
Speaker 11: like Osiris, like how he's gonna set Duran payin, Like

1445
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 11: I know how like the help like tips he's gonna need,

1446
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 11: or just helping Mitch or Dion or Spencer, like how

1447
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 11: they need to set their guys how they want to

1448
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 11: establish like their run game or just how they want

1449
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 11: to run the ball too.

1450
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guess this last game, what'd you think of

1451
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: the Bills homeover? You hadn't played in a home over?

1452
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 11: No, that was my first ever game in high Mark

1453
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 11: Stadium too. Yeah, I'll say that was electric. I wasn't

1454
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 11: sure how it was going to be like the stadium wise,

1455
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 11: everyone says this is great, crazy atmosphere and seen it firsthand,

1456
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 11: I was blown away and especially how loud it was

1457
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 11: to I was not ready for it.

1458
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 2: Free agency was a new thing for you this offseason,

1459
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 2: but you didn't have to wait around and wonder very long.

1460
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 2: I mean you were you. You were a quick signing.

1461
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 2: My question to you, though, is you know you got

1462
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 2: Ryan Bates here, another Penn State guy. How much did

1463
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 2: you kind of reach out to him to get a

1464
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 2: feel for what it's like here before you made your decision?

1465
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 4: Uh?

1466
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 2: Did you talk to Baits too much?

1467
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 1: Or well?

1468
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 11: We still talked off about I was actually in Hawaii

1469
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 11: right before uh oh, free agency, Free agencies hit. We're

1470
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 11: actually on the plane playing me and my wife from

1471
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 11: the plane plane ride back, and when we came back

1472
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 11: and my agent laid out a couple offers me and

1473
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 11: that's when I picked it. Uh literally just having me

1474
01:12:58,760 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 11: in Hawaiian and just I was like, oh, I have

1475
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 11: talked to Ryan a few weeks.

1476
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:02,560
Speaker 4: I was like, just hit him up, how it was

1477
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 4: off season, all that's going.

1478
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 11: And then literally, I don't know, maybe the next day

1479
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 11: and agent Tones was like, oh, you have a couple

1480
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 11: of interests and one's Buffalo, and like, oh, that's really weird.

1481
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 11: Like and just like asked Ryan a couple of questions

1482
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 11: what I thought. And then next thing you know that,

1483
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 11: I think it was the Monday rolls around sign here

1484
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 11: and who was the first person I called?

1485
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 2: Cool?

1486
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 11: He's like he's like yeah, Like He's like I was

1487
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 11: getting a lot of questions about you. Just the way

1488
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 11: everything timed out, It's just I happened to reach out

1489
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 11: and just to.

1490
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 4: See how he was and and things.

1491
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 1: One thing, Yeah, Bill's fans are always wondering about how

1492
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:38,719
Speaker 1: when guys come from other teams, what they think about

1493
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 1: this city. It's for we're talking in the break for you,

1494
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: this is kind of like moving back to what you

1495
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 1: really know from Scranton, and your family's from PA from Pittsburgh.

1496
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Your wife's family is from Pittsburgh. It's been a really

1497
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: nice transition for you.

1498
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 11: Yes, I would say so, like me and my wife

1499
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 11: loved the slower way of life. We're both from small

1500
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 11: towns in Pennsylvania, so this just feels more like comb

1501
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 11: to us.

1502
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 2: And you know, our owner, Terry Gooule is a Penn

1503
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 2: State alumb as well. So in the in the maybe

1504
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 2: brief times that you've been around him, as I'm sure

1505
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 2: Penn State has come up.

1506
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 11: Oh yes, Stephan the first time talking about Penn State

1507
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 11: and then covering everything back home. So oh, it's just

1508
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 11: going on either about back home less my high school,

1509
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 11: playing in his high school, yeah, or just talking about

1510
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 11: Penn State usually two things we talked about.

1511
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1512
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 1: So you've been here for now for a whole off season.

1513
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,600
Speaker 1: You kind of acclimated through its entire training camp. You

1514
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 1: see the teams take shape. Give us your thoughts about

1515
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: seventeen back there, you saw and you heard the stuff

1516
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: about man. He struggled in week one, but then he

1517
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 1: came out and it was a completely different dude in

1518
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: week two. You know, what are your thoughts and you know,

1519
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:42,839
Speaker 1: put his performance into perspective.

1520
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 11: I would say the biggest thing I took away from

1521
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 11: last week like none of the Like I would say

1522
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 11: we weren't up to our standard week one, no one was.

1523
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 11: But just the way he kept the entire team just

1524
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 11: level headed, how he went about his business the same way,

1525
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 11: kept everyone on the same page, and we came out

1526
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 11: firing like how we should have in week two. I

1527
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 11: just commanded for like how he took leadership of everything

1528
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 11: and got the ball wrong.

1529
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 2: So with Washington, like beyond that defensive front which gets

1530
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 2: all the headlines and we understand why they're all former

1531
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 2: first round picks, YadA, YadA, YadA. Is there any other

1532
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,879
Speaker 2: thing that really kind of sticks out to you about

1533
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 2: their defensive unit having seen them as much as.

1534
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,799
Speaker 11: You, Yeah, I would say the way they play overall,

1535
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 11: Like they don't give up, like you saw past two weeks.

1536
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 11: What were they down both games and they came back

1537
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,560
Speaker 11: went like it doesn't matter how much they're down, Like

1538
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 11: they're they're always in the game. Like I remember two

1539
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 11: years ago we were up thirty on them, and like

1540
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 11: always to the last snap, they were still getting the

1541
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 11: same rush every single time, Like it doesn't matter if

1542
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 11: they're up by forty down before you.

1543
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 4: They're not giving up. So I commend them for that, but.

1544
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 2: Playing the same way yeah throughout.

1545
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Connor, thanks for coming in. I appreciate you, man.

1548
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:48,679

01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 4: Nice.

1550
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 3: All right.

1551
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 2: So that's Connor McGovern, your left guard here on One

1552
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:55,880
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. We're gonna transition now and go right to

1553
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 2: the post practice podium where Josh Allen is addressing the media.

1554
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 3: I was practiced today.

1555
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 10: It's a good practice. Yeah, yeah, it's nice. Weather's perfect.

1556
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 2: Now.

1557
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 12: I know some things you always your you know, your

1558
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 12: your own critic, right, and completion percentage. I know that's

1559
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 12: something that stuck out to you a lot last year,

1560
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 12: but these past two games, your completion percentage has been

1561
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 12: on fire.

1562
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 3: Just kid to talk about some of the.

1563
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 12: Ways that you think that could you know, increase that

1564
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 12: percentage from last year to this year.

1565
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 10: Just making quicker, more decisive decisions, being smart with where

1566
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 10: the ball's going, obviously utilizing the backs and tight ends

1567
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 10: and some of the underneath stuff, and then just concept

1568
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 10: wise making sure that we've got enough plays in where

1569
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 10: we're getting guys the ball in their hands.

1570
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,600
Speaker 8: Josh, you've never played in Washington.

1571
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 10: Right, It's one of the few stadiums I haven't played

1572
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 10: in yet.

1573
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: When you go into a new stadium. What what do

1574
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 1: you look for physically in a new stadium, in a

1575
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: new surrounding.

1576
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm walk out there. You kind of fill the

1577
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 10: turf or the grass, whatever it's whatever, it'scot. You look

1578
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 10: for the play clocks, and then if there's any weather

1579
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 10: kind of where the winds affecting certain spots of the field.

1580
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 10: Other than that, nothing, nothing, nothing crazy exactly.

1581
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 13: Yeah, at this stage of your career and with a

1582
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 13: track record, what what does AFC Offensive.

1583
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 4: Player of the Week mean?

1584
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 10: It means typically they give it to a team that

1585
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 10: won the game, so that's it's a win.

1586
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,640
Speaker 13: Does it mean anymore after from the Jets game to

1587
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:33,799
Speaker 13: what you put out there last weekend?

1588
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:39,759
Speaker 10: No, I mean I was surprised. I didn't think stats

1589
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 10: were that great. But again, I was talking to Nate

1590
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 10: Breski and he just said, imagine that kid in fireball

1591
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 10: high school getting getting one of these and thinking about that.

1592
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 10: So I'm just trying to put things in perspective. But

1593
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 10: it doesn't mean a whole lot, but it's still it's

1594
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:57,919
Speaker 10: still nice, means we want again.

1595
01:17:59,320 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 5: You win.

1596
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 2: So it was play a week when you say the

1597
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 2: stats weren't that great.

1598
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 4: It wasn't.

1599
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't a four hundred yard game, it wasn't one

1600
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: hundred yard rushing.

1601
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 2: But does that kind of reinforce you the kind of

1602
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 2: game that you did play to help your team win

1603
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 2: last week?

1604
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 10: For sure? Just I mean smart football's thing within the system,

1605
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:16,600
Speaker 10: not trying to do anything too crazy. And again we

1606
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 10: scored on six of our eight drives, really seven if

1607
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 10: you don't include the last one where we took knees,

1608
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 10: So you know, just just making sure we're being smart

1609
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 10: and methodical and what we're doing, and yeah, just trying

1610
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 10: to stay ahead of the sticks and win football games.

1611
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 11: Sean said both Monday and again today that he thought

1612
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 11: that the game was so good for team. For you,

1613
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 11: what have you kind of taken from that game, maybe

1614
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 11: particularly hiding it after this.

1615
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 10: Week again just going against you're going to gets a

1616
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 10: good front, making sure we're getting the ball out and

1617
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:55,440
Speaker 10: getting our guys in space and and forcing those interior

1618
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 10: d linemen to to move around the field, tire them

1619
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 10: out just a little bit and just making sure we're

1620
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 10: spreading the ball around fairly evenly and just being two dimensional.

1621
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 3: Mentioned in front, this Washington Front as good as there.

1622
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: Is, played it a couple of years ago. Obviously got

1623
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 1: chased that last week. What have you seen on tape

1624
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: and how are they different from that?

1625
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's it's one of the best groups, if not

1626
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 10: the best group in the league. You know, up front,

1627
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 10: they're all big, fast, powerful, explosive, They all all can

1628
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 10: get after the quarterback. So again, making sure that you know,

1629
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 10: we don't let them take over the game because they

1630
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 10: they have the ability to do that. So making sure

1631
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 10: we're dialed in communicating well. And ultimately the team that

1632
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 10: best executes on on Sunday is gonna win the game.

1633
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 10: But yeah, well we'll we'll have to have a good

1634
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 10: week of practice, develop a plan, and try to stick

1635
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:48,759
Speaker 10: to that plane.

1636
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 8: Josh, in that game against Rady, the first drivers who

1637
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 8: play where you stepped out of bounds to take a

1638
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,679
Speaker 8: sack rather than take a hit or take a throat.

1639
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 8: Is that an example of a play that you might

1640
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 8: have done a little differently then maybe you had in

1641
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 8: the past.

1642
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 10: Maybe maybe saving a sack on a stat sheet and

1643
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 10: just taking an incompletion from my linemen. There only the

1644
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 10: only thing I can think of.

1645
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: Do you do.

1646
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 2: Anything with all those awards?

1647
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 10: Like Kevin? Kevin just said, what am I gonna do

1648
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 10: with my my player of the week check? So I'm

1649
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 10: still waiting for those to come in. I don't know

1650
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 10: if I don't know if they got my address wrong

1651
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 10: or not, but.

1652
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 3: Or something.

1653
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 10: I think you get a ball. They might be Kevin

1654
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,759
Speaker 10: might be hoarding all those.

1655
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly as the most of those awards in franchise history.

1656
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 3: What does that mean to you?

1657
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 1: It doesn't.

1658
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 10: It doesn't mean all that much. Guys like we're just

1659
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 10: out here, tru. I'm just trying to help this team

1660
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 10: win football games. And again, they don't give those awards

1661
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 10: to to guys that are losing football games. So again,

1662
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 10: helping put my team in good position to win football games.

1663
01:20:58,720 --> 01:20:59,640
Speaker 10: It's that's all I'm trying to do.

1664
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 4: Talk a little bit.

1665
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:03,600
Speaker 8: About the variety of skills and experience that you have

1666
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 8: in the backfield behind you all this this team.

1667
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, again, having bringing in two guys like Damien and Latavious.

1668
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 10: Latavious is uh, he's getting up there in in age

1669
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 10: you know, he's played a long time in this league.

1670
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 10: He's been through a lot of different systems, a lot

1671
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 10: of different places, played with a lot of different guys.

1672
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 10: So he's got a lot of smarts to him. And

1673
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 10: you know, to to have his experience in the backfield,

1674
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 10: it shows. It doesn't just show when he's on the field.

1675
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 10: You know when he's in the room talking with a

1676
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 10: young guy like James, and and Damien obviously been in

1677
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 10: the league a little bit longer than James. He's still

1678
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 10: pretty young too, but you can tell just the experience

1679
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 10: that he's had in big games. You obviously going to

1680
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 10: Alabama and you know, just being in those big game

1681
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,600
Speaker 10: environments that the game's never too big for him. They

1682
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,640
Speaker 10: understand their assignment and uh, you know that room is

1683
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 10: all true professionals, it really is.

1684
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 8: How how critical is is their participation in trying to

1685
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 8: deplaw that defensive line that.

1686
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 10: Big time, big time if you know, if teams want

1687
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,799
Speaker 10: to start playing you know, the too high shell, the quarters,

1688
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 10: the tampa and try to get to the quarterback with

1689
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 10: with four guys, you know, we got to be able

1690
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 10: to run the run the football effectively and try to

1691
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 10: pull them out of that so we can open up

1692
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 10: some some things in the passing game. But if they

1693
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 10: just want to keep playing like I said that shell,

1694
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 10: keep running it and trusting that those guys are gonna

1695
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 10: go make yards.

1696
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,639
Speaker 13: These article you were able to share the football.

1697
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:31,879
Speaker 1: Is there a way to.

1698
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,839
Speaker 8: Kind of continue that momentum to build downheading a build.

1699
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 4: Again?

1700
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 10: I think last week just in practice and and how

1701
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:45,640
Speaker 10: we approached it, the communication that that we had as

1702
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 10: an offense, as a staff, it was very open, it

1703
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 10: was very honest and just making sure that we're staying

1704
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 10: on top of those things and trying to take the

1705
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 10: same approach every week.

1706
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:57,680
Speaker 11: And that stands out two year.

1707
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 10: About his personality, uh, he he's quietly the funniest guy

1708
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 10: in the team. You know, he doesn't say much, but

1709
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 10: when he does, it's it's pretty funny. He's got a

1710
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 10: very unique personality. He just kind of lays low in

1711
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 10: the weeds and it's no pun intended. He's not the

1712
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 10: biggest guy, but he's awesome to be around. And again

1713
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 10: he's just as as time goes on, he's opening up

1714
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 10: more for the receiver room in this offense, and you know,

1715
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 10: more we can pull out of him, the better.

1716
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,679
Speaker 2: All right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media questions much

1717
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 2: different this week they were last week after a rock

1718
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 2: solid performance from Josh. As a matter of fact, Sean

1719
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 2: McDermott called it a solid performance that had some bits

1720
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:48,559
Speaker 2: of typical Josh Allen spectacular plays, but he called it

1721
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,800
Speaker 2: one of those performances you put on the shelf in

1722
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 2: reference from time to time to remind you how you

1723
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,560
Speaker 2: should play in a game to put your team in

1724
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 2: position to win, and he did that in a big

1725
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 2: way yesterday or on Sunday, i should say, and there

1726
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 2: was a lot of help along the way to a

1727
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 2: defensive unit that we know got three takeaways and really

1728
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:11,600
Speaker 2: just completely stymied last year's leading rusher, Josh Jacobs. So

1729
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 2: going forward now, you heard him say that they want

1730
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 2: to kind of incorporate all three of those guys in

1731
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 2: the run game again this week, knowing full well if

1732
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 2: you one of the best ways to back off a

1733
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 2: pass rush is to run the football, and I wouldn't

1734
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 2: be surprised if that's part of the aim on Sunday

1735
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:34,759
Speaker 2: to try to at least keep that defensive front guessing

1736
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 2: so they're not pinning their ears back on third and

1737
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 2: eighth there.

1738
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean you can imagine what that's like. You got

1739
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 1: to you got an offensive lineman three hundred pounds or

1740
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 1: firing off at you, trying to push you and get

1741
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 1: and move you out of the way for a guy

1742
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: coming right behind him with the ball in his hands.

1743
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 1: And you got guys piling in on and you're doing that.

1744
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: You're doing that, and then all of a sudden you

1745
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 1: get a chance to rush the passer. But you think

1746
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be more of that, right, so you start

1747
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 1: it just yeah, there's no I think the ability to

1748
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: anticipate when you're gonna do it helps those guys up front,

1749
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: and when you get them in there say okay, here

1750
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,600
Speaker 1: we go on. I know nothing's coming here except a

1751
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,839
Speaker 1: pass let's go. That mindset makes a big difference.

1752
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here because we want

1753
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 2: to leave enough time on the back end to bring

1754
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 2: Jordan Poyer's post practice comments to you. We'll get to

1755
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 2: the Bill's safety when we return here on One Bill's Live,

1756
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:41,719
Speaker 2: presented by Colid of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome

1757
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 2: back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. I

1758
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 2: want to throw it right back down to the postgame

1759
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 2: podium where Jordan Poyer is addressing the media post practice.

1760
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: Offense now in Washington.

1761
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 2: Are there any similarities that you could take from some

1762
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 2: of the stuff he did in or one team has

1763
01:25:58,840 --> 01:25:59,679
Speaker 2: Patrick Maholmes.

1764
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 14: I mean, yeah, you can say some similarities. You know,

1765
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:04,600
Speaker 14: they got a lot of speed on that side of

1766
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 14: the football, really good quarterback who's playing really well, you know,

1767
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 14: really solid offensive line. So uh, skill football team is

1768
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 14: good offense and uh he said some similarities to Kansas City.

1769
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 14: Obviously different personnel group is but uh, but uh, you know,

1770
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 14: we're gonna have to play well to win games.

1771
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 13: I guess resilient would be award to describe them, right.

1772
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 13: What have you seen from them?

1773
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, exactly that, you know, being down twenty one to three,

1774
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 14: I believe it was at halftime against Denver being able

1775
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 14: to come back and win the game. Just a bunch

1776
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,799
Speaker 14: of guys that play looked like they played well together,

1777
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 14: you know, a resilient group of guys. And uh, like

1778
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 14: I said, we're gonna have to play extremely wall to win.

1779
01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 14: We're excited about the opportunity. Yeah, he's he seems like

1780
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 14: he's playing pretty confident.

1781
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 3: He's got a really good arm strength.

1782
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 14: You know, he can move around in the pocket, he

1783
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 14: can make plays with his legs sometimes, and uh, you know,

1784
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 14: he's gonna he's gonna throw the football, and he trusts

1785
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 14: his playmakers to be able to go and make plays.

1786
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 14: He trusts his guys down the field with the speed

1787
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 14: that they have, so, uh you know, it's a it's

1788
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 14: gonna be a fun game and work for the opportunity.

1789
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 2: All right, short and sweet from Jordan Poyer today. We

1790
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 2: just heard that from Connor McGovern. Now we here we

1791
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 2: hear it from Jordan Poyer also that this Washington crew

1792
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 2: is a pretty resilient group. I mean McGovern's talking about

1793
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 2: how they maintained the same work rate and level of

1794
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 2: intensity no matter what the score is on the board,

1795
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 2: And basically heard the same thing from Jordan. And proof

1796
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 2: of that is how they have come back in both

1797
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 2: of their first two games to post victories. They were

1798
01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 2: down big against Denver. You heard it from Jordan, down

1799
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 2: twenty one to.

1800
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 1: Three, right, they were down big time and hung in there.

1801
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean they it was chipped away at it, right,

1802
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 1: it was zero seven, it was three to seven, three

1803
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 1: to fourteen, three to twenty one. I mean they gave

1804
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 1: up three quick touchdowns there, and then they came back

1805
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:49,679
Speaker 1: and walked them down, beat them thirty five to twenty four,

1806
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 1: beat him by eleven.

1807
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 2: Thirty five thirty three, last five. Oh, what are you

1808
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 2: looking at the first game?

1809
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the first I'm sorry they had two

1810
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 1: down here that didn't see thirty five thirty three.

1811
01:27:58,560 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1812
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they got up by eleven at one point

1813
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,600
Speaker 1: after trailing by eighteen, and then hung on to win it.

1814
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 1: Yeah that's pretty good.

1815
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah on the road, no, less. They were in Denver

1816
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 2: last week, so yeah, they're probably eager to be back home.

1817
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,760
Speaker 2: And if the Bills are fortunate enough to get up

1818
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 2: on them, don't turn the TV off like Thurman did

1819
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 2: this week in the third quarter, don't play with your grandkids. Yeah,

1820
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 2: you may want to stay with it till the end

1821
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 2: because Washington has demonstrated come back ability each of the

1822
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 2: first two weeks. So just something to be mindful of,

1823
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 2: knowing they're not going to lay down even if the

1824
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:35,679
Speaker 2: scoreboard says they should.

1825
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: So worth noting good stuff.

1826
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 2: Not that the Bills would be any different if they

1827
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 2: were put in that scenario. So yeah, I'm I think

1828
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 2: your third down assessment is astute. You know, you got

1829
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 2: a Bill's offense that knows how to convert and you

1830
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 2: got a Washington defense that knows how to get off

1831
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,760
Speaker 2: the field. And I'm I think I mean that it's

1832
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 2: a third down is a money down every week, but

1833
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 2: I think it's emphasized even more this week in light

1834
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:05,800
Speaker 2: of how proficient those two sides of the ball are

1835
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:06,559
Speaker 2: for these two teams.

1836
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we said, number one third down team last

1837
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: year against the number one third down defense last year.

1838
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 1: It's we'll see that may be what wins it or

1839
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:17,679
Speaker 1: loses it for either side.

1840
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, So more to dice up on this game as

1841
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 2: we go through the week. Tomorrow's show, we will obviously

1842
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:29,479
Speaker 2: have ESPN NFL analyst Field Yates with the ultimate fantasy lineup,

1843
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 2: more post practice sound as well, fresh off the practice field,

1844
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 2: So be sure to join us tomorrow. Well, we'll have

1845
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 2: plenty more in store for you on this Bills Commander's matchup.

1846
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 2: We'll catch you tomorrow at one pm.
