1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: player for you. Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: the stradit here of normalcy. Full bank of a show

5
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: today Wednesday, as we turn the page to week two,

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Dolphins, It's the fish week people, Let's get it ready.

7
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and just a cornucopia

8
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: of offerings for you. On today's three hour program is

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Steve and I are here with you until three pm today,

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park and

11
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: about fifty yards away from us. The music and the

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: bass is already pumping at practice. We'll check in there

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: and about oh, i'd say thirty five forty minutes with

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: Maddi glab who'll be at practice giving us the update.

15
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott on with the media just moments ago and

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: did confirm that Matt Milano will not practice today, neither

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: will del Shan Phillips. And you might say, well, what's

18
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: wrong with him? He went out of the game on

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Sunday with a quad injury. Played largely on special teams,

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: but he is a backup strong side linebacker. So he

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: is not practicing today either, and it is a wait

22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: and see. Those are coach McDermott's words on whether Tremaine

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Edmonds will practice today. So we'll get an update from

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Maddie on that from the sidelines at practice as to

25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: whether or not he is doing anything. So the Bills

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: run the risk of being shorthanded on Sunday at quite

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: possibly two very key positions in terms of athleticism on

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball for them. I mean,

29
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Edmunds and Milano are three down players who do an lock. Yeah,

30
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot to replace those guys, no question.

31
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: A J. Klein Meta Kevic, I guess Terrell Dots Yeah.

32
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: Not the same athletes, Yeah, not the same athletes as

33
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Termaine and Milano for sure. It looks like I mean,

34
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I thought, uh, the quad injury,

35
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: and actually I actually almost thought he got a Charlie horse,

36
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: I got a whack. It was almost contusion, not a

37
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: pulled muscle, because I thought he was caught up in

38
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: and we never got a clarification, so it maybe just

39
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: a pulled quad or whatever. I thought his was a

40
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: contusion and I'm telling you those hurt man, I had

41
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: one of those as well. It's and it's not it's

42
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta the treatment for it is completely

43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: different than for a pulled muscle, and and that's why

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: it's I couldn't even begin to tell you how long

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: even though I've had one, I can't remember how it was.

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I knows every case is different, and we'll have to

47
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: see where it goes. Hopefully it's something where del Sean

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: just needs an extra day um and maybe through treatment

49
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: that and work that. You know, because when you have

50
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: a contusion like that, what it means is the muscle

51
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: is literally bleeding internally, and that's why you have that,

52
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, bruised look between your muscle and your skin,

53
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: and treatment is designed to help kind of work that

54
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: those dead blood cells out of there so you can

55
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: flex and move that muscle again the way you're used to.

56
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: You know, all that blood inside is kind of compromising that,

57
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: so treatment is essential through the course of the week.

58
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, the Bills have a great

59
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: athletic training staff to hopefully accomplish that. If that, in

60
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: fact is all it is. Now, if it's a pulled quad,

61
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: that's a much different story because now it's a lot

62
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: harder to run down the field forty yards full speed

63
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: on kickedoff coverage and stuff like that. So well, it

64
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: already begins. I mean, it's been a couple of years

65
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: since we've had too many injuries to prominent players to

66
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: talk about it. Usually the only one we can remember is,

67
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, Harrison Phillips last year Week three. The Bills

68
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: were incredibly healthy all throughout last year and through twenty eighteen.

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: So perhaps the you know, the odds are catching up

70
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: with him and is going to start to even out

71
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: with them and the rest of the And again we

72
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: have we have the long layoff with no real ramp up,

73
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: no preseason playing a factor two, there are a lot

74
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: of soft tissue injuries across the league. I can't tell

75
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: you how many receivers went down with hamstring injuries, either

76
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: leading up to Week one or in the games in

77
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Week one, and the and the Dolphins have one of

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: their own. Their top receiver, DeVante Parker, left last week's

79
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: game with a hamstring injury, did not return, and he

80
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: is a question mark for the game this week for

81
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. The Jets top picked men's other hamstring. He's

82
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: on iron't They put him on the three week I R.

83
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: So it's it's everywhere. Also today when McDermott was talking

84
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: to the media, they did get into the fact that

85
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the New England Patriots is a six five,

86
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty pound guy who they ran a lot,

87
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: and that just so happens. The Bills guy is six five,

88
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty pounds as well, and so he

89
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: would and you know, they wanted to see find out

90
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: if Sean McDermot was going to do the same thing

91
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: that New England was in. I doubt that that'll be

92
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: the case. Well, I will say this and I want

93
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: to and we'll have Dan Orlovsky on at one o'clock

94
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: today from ESPN, who had some glowing things to say

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: about how Josh Allen and Brian Dabile have matured and

96
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: progressed and developed as a coordinator. QB Combo here over

97
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: these last couple of years, and he has marveled at

98
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: the improvements that Josh has made in his game, was

99
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: tweeting all about it yesterday. We will have him on

100
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: at one o'clock to expand on that. But there's one

101
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: question I want to ask Dan, you want me to

102
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: write that down so I can ask. I've already got

103
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: it written down, but you're I'm sure you'll steal it.

104
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't care, as I don't care as long as

105
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: it gets answered. It depends on who want to. I

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: want to ask him because you look at the Patriots,

107
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: and I watched the game between the Patriots and the

108
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins this morning. It was very evident to me that

109
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: Cam does not rust his receivers outside of Julian Edelman.

110
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: Yet you got young guys nikkil Harry, the other kid

111
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: whose name is escaping me now that he had to

112
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: throw to a couple of times, the young receivers on

113
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: that roster. He does not trust them. Yet it is

114
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: evident to me not to mention the fact that opposing

115
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: defense is really you're keying on Edelman. You don't have

116
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: a tight end to really worry about there in New England,

117
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: and you don't have a second or a third receiving

118
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: option that you really have to worry about outside of

119
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: James White. So I think as teams get a bead

120
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: on what New England wants to do with Cam, they'll

121
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: be able to spy him more to have him accounted

122
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: for defensively with the Bills. I don't know if you

123
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: can do that. You've got so much talent at the

124
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: receiver position that you've got to account for. I don't

125
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: know if you can key on Josh and spy him

126
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: maybe as much as you would like, because of all

127
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: the other weapons that they can deploy on the fe

128
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get Dan Orlovsky's take

129
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: on that to see where he comes down on it,

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: because you may want to spy Josh here and there,

131
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: but you can't. You can't go one on one with

132
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: John Brown and Stefon Diggs at the same time. Right,

133
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs and John Brown are not in to kill

134
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Harry and vice versa, and you can't defend him the

135
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: same way. And you can't waste a guy on a

136
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: drop back pass thinking your quarterback their quarterback might have

137
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: to run, because if you spy him, that makes it

138
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: all the more likely he will not have to run

139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: because you got a less defenders in the back end.

140
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: If he's got a spy sucking up on Josh, he's

141
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: just gonna drop it over that guy and find somebody

142
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: in receiving. It just opens up too many passing Yes

143
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: for a quarterback that you know and and Brian and

144
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, the Dolphins head coach, kind of addressed that

145
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: this morning in the press conference that he had with

146
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo media, saying, well, yeah, we respect Josh

147
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: and what he can do when he tucks it and

148
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: runs or buys time and makes plays off script. He goes,

149
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: we got a receiving court at worry about in Buffalo

150
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: two And he's right. He's right, because there is a

151
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: lot to account for now with this Bill's offense. So

152
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: we could we could play some of this sound. I

153
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: guess we have some of it. Yeah, we'll get to it.

154
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: We'll get to it. We'll absolutely get to it. So

155
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: we got maddiglab coming up around twelve forty when they

156
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: break into individual position drills. At least that's a schedule

157
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: time they plan to do that, So that's when we

158
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: want to get her on the line. From practice. As

159
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: we mentioned ESPN's Dan Orlovsky at one and then from

160
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: the Miami Herald, the intrepid Dolphins reporter Armando Salgaro will

161
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: join us at two pm to kind of get us

162
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: up to speed on the Dolphins who were in that

163
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: game against New England. I mean, you know, Fitzpatrick stage

164
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: is a drive there in the fourth quarter, gets the

165
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: two point conversion on a broken scramble and it's fourteen

166
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: eleven with seven minutes left in New England on the road.

167
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: And then you know, the Patriots stage a drive, go

168
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: up ten and then gets picked off on a play

169
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: where I thought they could have very easily called pass

170
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: interference in the end zone. The tight end gets completely

171
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: walled off by a defensive back who basically sets a

172
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: pick on him so he can't make a play on

173
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: the ball, and the safety behind him makes an interception

174
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: because the tight end can't make it. He's literally like

175
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: six inches from the football. He gets totally picked I mean,

176
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: he looked like Moses Malone. And the high post there

177
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: picking off the tight end, and the back jug swallows

178
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: his whistle and doesn't call anything, and it's an interception

179
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. And basically they saw it the game away.

180
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: That's how it ended. Yeah, and they were minus I

181
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: guess the idea they were in that game, and that

182
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: they were in that game with fits throwing three picks

183
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: right now, two of his Now I'm gonna I'm gonna

184
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: defend Fits here. I know he throws a lot of them.

185
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: I know he throws a lot of them. Two of

186
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: them came on when his receivers fell down on routes

187
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: right and the dB was still standing up, and it

188
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: was like, oh, thank you very much. Point wasn't about Fits.

189
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: It was the fact that they were that close turn

190
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: it over three times. You saw what the turnovers did

191
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: to Buffalo's score. What would they have done to Miami's

192
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: score had had they not had the ball picked by

193
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: by falling down receivers or a missed pass interference call,

194
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: That game goes very differently if those things don't happen.

195
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: So if you go into it, and I think it's

196
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: a mistake to ever go into a game thinking, yeah,

197
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna turn it over to us, they may, but

198
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta play in the play better and

199
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: beat them head up, level field, and any breaks you get,

200
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: you take them. But you can't plan on breaks the

201
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: breaks going your way. Yeah, so yeah, go ahead, I mean, no,

202
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: that's that's it. So you know, this is a Miami

203
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: team who took that New England team to the wire.

204
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know how good either team is but

205
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: it was a close game. Yeah, and you know, Miami's

206
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to do a better job than scoring eleven points,

207
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: no question. But so are the so are the so

208
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: are the New England Patriots. They can't get it. They're

209
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: gonna They're not gonna get away with scoring twenty one

210
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: points again. I mean, they've got to be disappointed as well. Yeah.

211
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't under I couldn't figure out what to make

212
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: of Miami's defense. Their pass rush was very limited, not

213
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Cam Granted he only threw

214
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: a twenty two times and the Patriots ran forty one times.

215
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: They got this undrafted kid, JJ Taylor. It's five foot six,

216
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty pounds and he's a little he's

217
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: a little pocket rocket man. He's so low to the

218
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: ground five six they can't get it beat on him.

219
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: He led that team and carries and was pretty productive

220
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: for them. It's just, you know, New England always find

221
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: somebody to just plug into the running back rotation and

222
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: they just go with the hot hand. Although it looks

223
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: like Miami's doing the same thing because the running back

224
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: that had the hot hand for them this past week

225
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: was Myles Gasket. Wasn't Jordan Howard who they signed in

226
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: free agency. It wasn't Matt Brita, who they signed in

227
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: free agency from San Francisco. It was Miles Gaskin, who

228
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: had a nice game. I thought made a couple of

229
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: plays out of the backfield as a receiver, ran tough

230
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: between the tackles, and he's not a big guy. He's

231
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: kind of a make your miss kind of guy. But

232
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: he had a good game. So they only threw the

233
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: ball nineteen times, not twenty two times. Yeah, well right,

234
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: he dropped back to pass twenty two times. He scrambled

235
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: three of those times. So but yes, that's nineteen actual

236
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: pass attempts and I think forty one runs was a

237
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: total in the game for the team. That's crazy. It'll

238
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what the Bills balance is, which

239
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: leads us in to some of coach mcdermot's comments that

240
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: we wanted to play for you from just about a

241
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: half an hour ago, when he was asked about finding

242
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: a balance in Josh Allen's run to pass game. Here's

243
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: what he had to say about that. Yeah, it's a balance,

244
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: and you said it right. It's that's what we're always

245
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: trying to find with the with the balance of of

246
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: of our fundamentals and the ball security which is involved

247
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: in our fundamentals and running for production, and also keeping

248
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: a good eye on how many is too many? Right so,

249
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: but also how few is not enough? You know. So

250
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: it's a it's a delicate balance, John, to your point,

251
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: and that's going to be a weekly task that they

252
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: have to undertake, and a lot of it is not

253
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: only going to be predicated on game plan Steve, but

254
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: how the game unfolds. I mean, if they don't have

255
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: an answer for Josh, they're gonna keep running. The balance

256
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: changes every week. Yeah, the balance changes depending on who

257
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: you're playing and what they be a balance at all.

258
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: It might not be about one balance. It might not

259
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: be a balance one week and it may be a

260
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: unbalanced in the other direction the next week. I don't

261
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: think they have any philosophy and they don't need one.

262
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: They don't have a philosophy to say we are not

263
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: going to run Josh more than whatever times, ten times,

264
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: fifty times, four times, two times. They're not going to

265
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: do that. They're gonna say, listen, this play is there,

266
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: We're going to run it, and we need a play

267
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: right now. We're you know this down and distance. We

268
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: need a conversion. Whatever it is. It's a third and short,

269
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: it's a third and long, it's a whatever. You pick.

270
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: You pick the scenario you can. They don't have a

271
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: recipe for how many times he's going to run it.

272
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: They have they know what they're looking for when they

273
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: want him to run it, and if that shows itself,

274
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: they're going to do it. Now, what they also want

275
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: is better production out of the more traditional run game

276
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: from Zach Moss and Devin Singletary. Now, as Steve pointed

277
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: out on yesterday's show, the lack of success with the

278
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: run game last week against the Jets had less to

279
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: do with Singletary and Moss than it did with the

280
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: guys trying to create the creases up front. They did

281
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: not consistently win the battle at the line of scrimmage,

282
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: which was a major problem in twenty eighteen. It got

283
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: significantly better in twenty nineteen when they revamped the offensive line.

284
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: But on Sunday, the guys up front were a little

285
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: slow out of the gate in terms of getting effective

286
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: openings for their backs, and that's why they averaged Moss

287
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: and Singletary combined two point two seven yards per carry

288
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: this past week. It's not good enough. Now. Coach McDermott

289
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: put that on the list of things to work on,

290
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: and here was his comment today about creating more success

291
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: in the run game. I think it's a mindset, right,

292
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: and that's where it all starts. I'm playing well with

293
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage is important, as you know. We've

294
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: talked about that many times over, and that's that's where

295
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: it starts. I've got to play well up front on

296
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, and then when the holes

297
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: are there, the backs have to hit them. So it's

298
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: it's never just one person or one position, it's it's

299
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: all of us, starting with me and not got to

300
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: do a better job and Steve. This is going to

301
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: bear watching because we know the I thought the pass

302
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: protection was very good, so they were aces in that area.

303
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: And maybe it's due in part to the fact that

304
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: the Jets really don't have a top flight pass rusher.

305
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Neither do the Dolphins for that matter, so pass protection

306
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: is less of an issue due in part to the opponent,

307
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: and to their credit, they were they were pretty effective

308
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: in passing things off in Week one. I thought pass

309
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: protection wise, for this Bill's offensive line. But as coach

310
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: said right there, it's got to take a noticeable step

311
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: up in quality and consistency when it comes to creating

312
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: holes in the run game. Yeah, and it's it's gonna

313
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: be a week tweak thing, just like it always is.

314
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Dolphins have as good a

315
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: run front as the Jets. I don't think they do Statistically,

316
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: it's not even close. But that doesn't mean they can't

317
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: fix it. Certainly, they're not going to get any more talented,

318
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: but certain but they'll tell you that when you ask

319
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: guys about their run defense, they'll always tell you they'll

320
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: point to technique and to communicating better and to getting

321
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: the right run fits. Those you can fix. So if

322
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins do have problems like that, you can bet

323
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: they're working on fixing them. But I'm telling you this,

324
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: you gotta get more out of Zach Moss and Devin

325
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: Singletary in the run game. There has to be more

326
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: rooms in a better balance, because there's only so many

327
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: ways you can hand the ball off back there and

328
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: let those guys go well. And not only that, I

329
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna be able to lean on the

330
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: passing game as much this week as you did last week.

331
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean the passing game actually doubled as a run game,

332
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: you know, with the short intermedia throws that they used.

333
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's going to necessarily be available

334
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: to them in as plentiful supply this week against corners

335
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: the caliber of Xavian Howard and Byron Jones on the outside,

336
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: so those options are likely to be fewer and further between,

337
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: which means you better get something going on the ground

338
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: here now. Last week, if it's any indication, is certainly encouraging.

339
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: They gave up over two hundred yards on the ground

340
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. But what do you think they're gonna

341
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: be trying to fix all week? Right that? So, I

342
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: don't know, We'll have to see how it goes. I'll

343
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: have a plan for quarterback runs, and like you said yesterday,

344
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: and it's been become a little more common knowledge for

345
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: the casual fan, when the quarterback doesn't hand it to somebody,

346
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: and here's what happens, And I'll just go back to

347
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: football one oh one. When the quarterback hands it off,

348
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: he's not a blocker. He kind of backs away and

349
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: watches the game. But when he doesn't hand it off

350
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: and carries it. The guy he would have handed it

351
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: off to is a blocker. So whatever number of defenders

352
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: you have, they're now outnumbered by one, or they have

353
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: the exact same number as your offense does. And if

354
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 1: everybody puts a hat on a hat, there's nobody to

355
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: tackle the quarterback. That's why you've got to have a

356
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: plan for it. And you can bet the Dolphins are

357
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: spending some time going over their little notebooks finding a

358
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: way to find a guy free. They will be crashing

359
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: into the line of scrimmage late, or packing the box

360
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: and forcing Josh out of the throw at the corners,

361
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: or what have you. So they're gonna have a plan,

362
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: a better plan than they did for Cam Newton in

363
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,120
Speaker 1: Week one. It was kind of fun watching the Dolphins

364
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: game from an offensive standpoint, just seeing chan Gailey's scheme again,

365
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: a lot of eleven personnel. Not so much for why,

366
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: just because I don't think he has the horses, especially

367
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: with Parker a question mark for this week. But it

368
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: was kind of fun to see Gaily and Fits kind

369
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: of back together, throwing the ball over the yard, as

370
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: they were prone to do here in Buffalo when they

371
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: were doing that. And coach Flores for the Dolphins was

372
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: on with the media here in Buffalo this morning and

373
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: he commented on the edition of his new offensive coordinator,

374
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: Chan Gailey. You know, Chan, he was definitely someone whether

375
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: he was in Buffalo or with the Jets that you know,

376
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: we we M he's got a lot of Uh, there's

377
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: a lot going on in the offense. You know, from

378
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: a personnel standpoint, you know, eleven personnel, ten personnel, twenty

379
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: one personnel. I mean, he's and you never knew from

380
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: a game point standpoint what he was what you were

381
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: going to get. Um. I was obviously a very good teacher.

382
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: M And I just heard that, you know, just from players,

383
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: from other coaches, um. UM, and you know, just his offenses,

384
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, from my experience, they just brought a lot

385
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: of issues. But you know, they have created a lot

386
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: of issues. Uh. So we're happy to bring him in. UM.

387
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: And he's done. He's done. He's done a really good

388
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: job so far. And you know it's gonna continue building

389
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: and trying to get better improved. UM. But we're up

390
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: against a pretty tough defense this week. UM. They fly around,

391
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: they play well together, they've played well. You know played

392
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: together for a long time, so we can see the

393
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: rapport and camaraderie that's been built. Um and this should

394
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: be definitely be a tough test to Leslie does a

395
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: great job. So Leslie combined with with Sean, they do

396
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: a great job defensively, so um and we have to

397
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: play well to move the ball against these guys, right

398
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: that task may become easier if you know the Bills

399
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: are shorthanded at the second level because the coverage abilities

400
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: of Matt Milano and if Tremaine Edmonds, especially with his

401
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: range reach, you know, being such a long limb player,

402
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 1: even if one of those guys is out, it's going

403
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: to be something that they'll look to exploit, you would think,

404
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: because yes, what happened in the game last week. I

405
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: mean as soon as aj Klein came into the game,

406
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: the Jets went right after him in pass coverage and

407
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: made a couple of plays on him. Now, if he

408
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: gets a full compliment or reps this week as a

409
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: starter because the other guys can't practice, I would assume

410
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: that helps him. But he's a veteran player. He knows

411
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: where he has to be, knows what his assignments are.

412
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: But again, as we said at the top of the show,

413
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: he's not quite the athlete that Tremaine Edmonds and Matt

414
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: Milano are, and that leaves you somewhat exposed. They're gonna

415
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: go after whoever they feel is the weakest link, and

416
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: in the back seven. When you look at all the

417
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: talent they have across the board, that's why they're gonna

418
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: be looking. Yeah, they're not gonna throw at Davious White,

419
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: Poor or Hide. They're gonna go at a cornerback two

420
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna go at the linebackers whoever those are.

421
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: If they are not you know, Milano and Tremaine Edmondson,

422
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: and even if they are, they got to throw it somewhere.

423
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see what the Bills

424
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: come up with now. Also, I know this too, and

425
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Flora's who had just heard Brian Flora as a head

426
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: coach of the Dolphins, just that he know that the

427
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna have a plan and will probably anticipate

428
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: or know in their heart where their weaknesses on this defense,

429
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: and they will help those weaknesses. And this is also

430
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: a different defense than it was twelve months ago in

431
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: that the front is better. They got more consistent pressure

432
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: in Week one than they did most of last year.

433
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: And they got that consistent pressure a little quicker than

434
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: they did most of last year. That changes things exponentially,

435
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: So they're still gonna have to throw it. Sam Donald

436
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: missed about three or he missed a ton of earth

437
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: throws early in that game because he didn't throw it

438
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: well on the move and he was thrown on the

439
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: move because the pressure was there and it was there quick.

440
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: And we should mention that the Dolphins are starting two

441
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: rookies on their offensive line, including their tackle Austin Jackson

442
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: out of USC who's only twenty one years old. So

443
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: that guy's learning on the fly. And I can't remember

444
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: the name of the other offensive lineman that's a rookie also,

445
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: it was Jesse Davis Solomon Kinley. Kinley Kinley's the other rookie, right,

446
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: the right guard. Yeah, so the right guard and the tackle,

447
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson are the two rookies, and you know, against

448
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: the veteran front, they could be susceptible. Coach Flores is

449
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: being credited with trying to create a culture similar to

450
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: the one that coach McDermott cultivated up here in Buffalo. Obviously,

451
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: the Bills are probably two years ahead of the Dolphins

452
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: in terms of where they're at now. He's still trying

453
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: to build this from the ground up. Brian Flores is

454
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: probably in the position now that the Bills were in

455
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. And he was asked about that, and coach

456
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: Flores said, Hey, he didn't deny it for a second.

457
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: I've taken a look at what Sean has done in Buffalo.

458
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: Let's hear his thoughts on that, Sean Brandon. Uh, yeah,

459
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: they've they've done an incredible job. I think it's about

460
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's about bringing in the right types of people. Um.

461
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: I think in any business it's about the people. Um. So,

462
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, in his case, it's you know, he's got

463
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: the right people in place from a scouting standpoint with

464
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: Joe Sheen, Brandon Bean, Um, you know, they got a

465
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: great staff over there. Uh, same thing as a coach

466
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: from his from a coaching staff standpoint, they got a

467
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: great staff from that standpoint, um, and then bringing in

468
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: the right types of players. Uh. So they've they've you know,

469
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: certainly been a model um uh and Sean and you

470
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: know what they've done is something that I've I've you know,

471
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: I've definitely looked at and said, hey, you know, if

472
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: we were gonna you know, build something, um, you know,

473
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: wanted to model it after you know, a program. You know,

474
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: that's that's certain one that that you know, UM, you know,

475
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: we and I referenced, you know, when we were trying

476
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: to do some things you know over here. Now we

477
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. I mean that's there's

478
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: no doubt about that, UM and UM. But you know,

479
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: we know it's gonna take hard work. It's gonna take

480
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: UM everyone kind of pitching in and doing their you know,

481
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: specific job or role, UM and wanting to do that

482
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: role and wanted to be great in those roles. And

483
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of humility that goes with that. UM.

484
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: I know I've seen that from Sean and his staff,

485
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: you know when we've come across them. Brian Dabos obviously

486
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: a great friend of mine who UM, I spent a

487
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: lot of time with and he just you know, fits

488
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: the mold of everyone else that's over there. So they've

489
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: done a great job, and UM, you kind of started

490
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: to see the fruits of of of their labor over

491
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: the last few years. I mean to me that really

492
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: says something, Steve. When you have a guy who coached

493
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: under Bill Belichick, who is probably the quintessential success story

494
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: of consistency in this league, and he said, no, I

495
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: tapped in and referenced what McDermot and being are doing

496
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, because it's working, and you'd be a fool

497
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: not to look at other There's more than one way

498
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: to skin a cat. And while Belichick is probably the

499
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: premier model, there are other success stories in this league

500
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: on how to build a consistent perennial contender, and the

501
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: Bills are on that path. And Brian Flores said, I

502
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: want to take a look at it. Certainly, we've seen

503
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, you know, keep his program going and do

504
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: what he has done when games, when championships go to

505
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, with different types of teams, but we've

506
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: never seen it's been twenty years since Bill Belichick had

507
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: to rebuild anything. The continuity has been there for twenty years.

508
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: So you go back twenty years, and you know, Brian

509
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Flores and Sean McDermott are college kids, right, I mean,

510
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: so to see a guy do it recently, within the

511
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: last two or three years, and do it so consistently

512
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: and well and so methodically like they have done here

513
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. It makes good sense for a guy like Flores.

514
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, he knows what Bill Belichick does weekend, week out,

515
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: but he never saw that get put together from the

516
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: ground up. He never saw what steps were important and

517
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: how those steps affected the process. So I think it's

518
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: you're right. It is a great compliment to Sean McDermott

519
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: Brandon being in the program they've put in here, and

520
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: it also gives you an insight into the fraternity of

521
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 1: coaching as so you got a lot of friends on

522
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: both these staffs. So it's pretty fun to hear these

523
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: guys talk about each other and what they're doing and

524
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: at this and where they are along their timeline. All right,

525
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: we got to take a break. When we return, we'll

526
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: be checking in with Maddie Glab along the sidelines at practice.

527
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: As word is that Tremaine Edmonds and Tyrel Dotson are

528
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: wearing red non contact jerseys at practice. We'll get an

529
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: update when we get an opportunity from one Maddy Glab

530
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: that's coming up on the other side of the break.

531
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: Here on one Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health,

532
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris Brown, Steve Casker with

533
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: you One Bills Live. We'll be catching up with Matti

534
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: Glabin about po six or seven minutes. We're waiting for

535
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: them to break into individual position drills before we head

536
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: out there to see how players are doing. Tremaine Edmonds

537
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: was a wait and see. We know del Sean Phillips

538
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: and Mamlano are not practicing today and we'll get some

539
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: other updates as well to see who else is not practicing.

540
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: We do want to finish up with the comments from

541
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, who

542
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 1: did discuss the problems they had in corraling Cam Newton,

543
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: who ran for seventy five yards last week and two

544
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the read option game for the Patriots. It

545
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: was a conundrum for the Dolphins who looked a little

546
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: bit crossed up with what the Patriots were throwing at them.

547
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: So he knows that Josh Allen is every bit as

548
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: good as Cam Newton is as a readoption quarterback and

549
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: running with the football. So here is Brian floor Is

550
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: on how he plans to use the lessons learned from

551
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: Cam Newton this week against Josh Allen from that standpoint.

552
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: And and you know, as far as a dual threat

553
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: from a run game running quarterback standpoint, Uh, yes, we've

554
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 1: we've seen some of it a little bit, but this

555
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: team offers some other issues when you got to our

556
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: standing receivers on a perimeter. Um, it's hard to load

557
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: up when the run game when you got guys like

558
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: that on a perimeter. So, um, look, they do a

559
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: good job really, you know in all areas, the tight ends,

560
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: the backs, the scheme. Um, I don't think it'll just

561
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: be all run a quarterback runs. I don't think it'll

562
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: be all passed. I mean there's a great mix and um,

563
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: you know we've got to do a good job of

564
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 1: trying to defend it all. So good communications, good fundamentals, technique. Um,

565
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: and we'll h and and we look it's gonna be

566
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: a sixty hopefully. You know, we got to compete for

567
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: sixty minutes and play play uh you know, tough physical game.

568
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be a challenge because the Bills, the

569
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: way the Bills draw it up, it is gonna be

570
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: different from the way the Patriots drawed up. And right

571
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to adjust on the fly and the Bills,

572
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, you know, it's hard to know what,

573
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: even now after we've seen him one week, what the

574
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: ideal Patriot offense will look like. I have a hard

575
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: time thinking they're gonna let Cam Newton run it fifteen

576
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: times a game. Maybe they will, Um, they've got to

577
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: throw it at some point. Somebody's going to have some

578
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: success that stop in their quarterback option kind of game.

579
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: So uh. But the simple fact the matter is when

580
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: when the Dolphins line up against Buffalo, Buffalo is a

581
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: different team. They've got some guys on the outside that

582
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: are not going to be covered up by the Dolphins

583
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: corners at least not one hundred percent of the time. Uh.

584
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: And they've also got Cole Beasley. They've got Gabe Davis,

585
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: who played a significant number of snaps this last week

586
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie going out of four wide. They've got

587
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they ran so many personnel combinations at the Jets.

588
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: The Dolphin's got to get ready for that. And you've

589
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: got to think the Bills have a pretty good are

590
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: pretty confident that they can run some packages out of

591
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: all those formations. So it's a lot to prepare for.

592
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: Just like he said a lot like Cam like Chan.

593
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: Kayley's offense is a lot has a lot going on,

594
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: As Flores himself said a minute ago, that's one of

595
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: the reasons he brought him in. This is gonna be

596
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: a game about matchups. The question is how well do

597
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: Digs and Brown match up with the corners, because those

598
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,239
Speaker 1: those guys, they may fit. They may think we're gonna go,

599
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna man those guys up on the outside and

600
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna do what we can with the rest. And

601
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: they have a big physical rookie nickel corner in Igbanaguenay

602
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: who's going to be able to knock Hold easily around

603
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: if he gets up in his face and presses him.

604
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: So it is going to be a challenge for this

605
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: Bill's passing game. We have to take a break, but

606
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: when we come back, it's Maddie Glabb from the practice sidelines,

607
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: as she will provide us with an update as to

608
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: just what Tremaine Edmonds and del Shan Phillips are doing

609
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: and not doing. And there might be a couple of

610
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: other players not participating today. We'll get to that and

611
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: Maddy Glab when we return here on One Bill's Live

612
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: Presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio,

613
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on one Bills Live.

614
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: And we don't want to waste any more time. We

615
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: do want to get right out to the Bills practice

616
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: field here on a Wednesday. And joining us from the

617
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: sidelines is one Maddie Glab who is going to bring

618
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: us up to speed on just who and who who

619
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: is not participating. And I guess we should start with

620
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: the linebackers. Mattie. We heard what coach McDermott said earlier.

621
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: How does it look out there? Yeah, definitely. Coach McDermott

622
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: said that Matt Milano and del Shan Phillips would probably

623
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: not practice. Well, we haven't seen Matt Milano and del

624
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: Shan Phillips was on the field during stretch portion, but

625
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: then he went back inside. Tremaine Edmonds is out here.

626
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: He's in a red non contact jersey. He doesn't have

627
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: any pads on, but has been going through some drills

628
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: over in the far corner. And then Tyrell Dodson also

629
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: someone who has a red non contact jersey on. He

630
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: does have pads on and was just doing a special

631
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: team's portion of practice. So those are the updates on

632
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: the linebackers when it comes to injuries. Sean McDermott also

633
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: said those few guys who have been out with injuries

634
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: or are working back from injuries for Sunday have been

635
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: doing everything they possibly can in the training room in

636
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: the weight room when it comes to getting back on

637
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: the field for Sunday's matchup. Yeah, some of the Some

638
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: people may not have noticed that Tyrelle Dotson let the

639
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: game late against the Jets last Sunday with about three

640
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: plays left, and Tyler Manakavic had to come in for him.

641
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: So it looks like he's going to be a guy

642
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: to watch as well. Knowing he is Tremaine Edmond's backup,

643
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have They're gonna be really thin if neither

644
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: of those two guys can go with the mic position. Yeah,

645
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: it's really important to get all those guys healthy. If

646
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: all can't be healthy, just a couple healthy for Sunday's game.

647
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: You've got Ryan Fitzpatrick out there. Yes, their offense doesn't

648
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: look too new when you look at skill players, but

649
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: they do have a new offensive coordinator in Chan Gailey,

650
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: who the Bills are familiar with because he coached here,

651
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: and Ryan Fitzpatrick is quite familiar with as well because

652
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: he was here when Chan Gailey was a head coach

653
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. What about the wide receiver core?

654
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: Is anybody note missing or practicing out there? What does

655
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: that group look like? Who's working in and out? Yeah,

656
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: So one thing I did not expect to see when

657
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: I was out here today, I did not expect to

658
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: see John Brown in street out here for stretch portion,

659
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: kind of just standing around, and then he walked inside

660
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: with del Sean Phillips once the practice portion started, once

661
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: they got into special teams period. So not sure exactly

662
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: what is going on with John Brown. Not sure if

663
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: it's veteran rest day. Not sure if he's got a

664
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: little tweak that he's working out. Usually the vets, if

665
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: they're doing a rest day, they'll kind of stick around

666
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: on the side here and work out. But he went inside.

667
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: So to be determined on an injury update on John Brown,

668
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: if he is truly injured, yeah, they're they're probably he's

669
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: probably getting treatment on something. So we'll have to wait

670
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: for the injury report to come out to see what

671
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: the nature of that injury is, and that would change

672
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: the dynamics for sure. In terms of the passing game

673
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: for Buffalo, it would certainly mean a larger role for

674
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis Maddie who got a pretty good amount of

675
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: playing time last week when they went four wide. Yeah,

676
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis did it. Quite a bit of playing time

677
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: on the field, as you mentioned. And one thing that

678
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: Flora's Miami's head coach, talked about when preparing for this

679
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: game against the Buffalo Bills, and that, yes, Josh Allen

680
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: is a duel threat quarterback. They have to worry about

681
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: his legs and how he runs because they allowed quite

682
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: a bit of rushing yards to the New England Patriots

683
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: last week two hundred and seventeen to be exact, seventy

684
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: five rushing yards for Cam Newton. But Bran Flora said, hey,

685
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: we can't just worry about Josh Allen. We can't just

686
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: stack the box because you have two wide receivers on

687
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: the ends who are pretty dang good and John Brown

688
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: and Stefan Digg. So you'd love to see John Brown

689
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: out there, but whoever it is on the other side

690
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, and how they line up, whether

691
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: it's four wide, three wide, you name it. The Miami

692
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins corners and secondaries are going to have their hands

693
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: full in preparing for Gabriel Davis or John Brown. They

694
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: don't have too much tape on Gabriel Davis, so that

695
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: is one thing that the Bills have going for them

696
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: if it is truly Gabriel Davis out there, and we

697
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: should mention it is being reported out there as a

698
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: foot injury for John Brown, So we'll wait for the

699
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: team to confirm that. But those are some reports at

700
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: least in the early going. Here will wait till the

701
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: injury report comes out to confirm that. Steve, Yeah, what

702
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: about the defensive line rotation? That was It was a

703
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: little raised some eyebrows Maddie when aj E Panezza was

704
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: held out, and Leslie Frasier just said, listen, it's a

705
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: tough group to get on the field with. With an

706
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: abbreviated preseason, aj would probably thought it would be best

707
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: for him to watch a week or two before we

708
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: stuck him into the mix, and Bam Johnson was probably

709
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: a better option for them on week one. What about

710
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman and is there anything different you notice

711
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: about their practice today? Yeah, nothing different that I've noticed

712
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: about the defensive lineman since practices started. My eyes were

713
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: pretty much on the linebackers that entire first portion during

714
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: the special team's period. But yeah, aj Epanessa not being

715
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: on the act if roster to start the season, he

716
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: may just need a better hold of this defense. So

717
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: we'll see in a couple of weeks if they do

718
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: elevate him to the active roster for game Day. One

719
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: thing to say, though, Bam Johnson, it's it's tough to

720
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: not have him active when he offers so much on

721
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: special teams. That length that he has is something that

722
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills really like to use in their special

723
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: teams packages, and he was used on the defensive line

724
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: quite a bit last year. They really like that length

725
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: that he has. One thing, if you could take a peek, Matty,

726
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: we know Vernon Butler the defensive tackle this last week's

727
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: game with the hamstring injury. Is he out there practicing

728
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: today with the defensive line? Vernon Butler? Honestly, they are

729
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: so far down there, guys, I haven't been able to

730
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: check on Vernon Butler, but there are no red jerseys

731
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: down there, so I would say that's a good sign

732
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 1: for the defensive line and that there's no red non

733
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: contact jerseys over on the defensive line. We also know

734
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: too that the Bill's secondary. I know Josh Norman was

735
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: put on IR just before the game last week, and

736
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: there we see now we're watching the d line. Now

737
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: we're getting a hand to Severnon Butler. Vernon Butler is

738
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: at least taking part in some of the reps as well.

739
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: But what about the defensive backfield, what's the rotation like? Yeah,

740
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: so the defensive backfield. Of course, Josh and Orman is

741
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: on IR, so we won't see him exactly in these

742
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: practices in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully he can

743
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: get out here soon though, So of course you're gonna

744
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: have Levi Wallace and Trey White in that rotation. Siran

745
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: Neil another guy who's been moved from safety to safety

746
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: to corner in the last couple of months. Really towards

747
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: the end of last season he started to move over

748
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: to corner and take some reps there. So those are

749
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: some of the players that you're looking at. They should

750
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: get into one on one drills here behind me, where

751
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: the wide receivers and the corners go up against each other.

752
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: So if it's going on while I'm still on that

753
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: will be interesting to watch. Yeah, and we know Josh

754
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: Allen had plenty of time to throw last week due

755
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: to the lack of a pass rush and had some

756
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: rather large windows to throw into because of the deficiencies

757
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: of the Jets secondary. That is not going to be

758
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: the case this week, Maddie, with Xavian Howard and Byron

759
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: Jones and even the rookie Nogbanagene in the slot. So

760
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: what do you anticipate for Josh in terms of the

761
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: passing game knowing that those matchups are going to be

762
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more even between the Dolphins dbs and

763
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: these Bills receivers, especially if John Brown as a question mark. Yeah,

764
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean Josh Allen put up three hundred twelve passing

765
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: yards last week against the Jets. That's the area of

766
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: the field they wanted to target. Though that secondary for

767
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: the Jets was so weak going into that game. There

768
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: were so many question marks still, so it was obvious

769
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: that they were going to go four wide and air

770
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: it out there because that's where they had the most

771
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: success four hundred and four total yards of offense. They

772
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: didn't quite make it to one hundred yards on the

773
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: ground because the Jets strength on defense was their defensive line.

774
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: Now you look at this game against Miami Dolphins, it's

775
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: a little bit different. Their strength lies in the secondary.

776
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins spent so much money on that defense

777
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: last year. They ranked towards the bottom of the league

778
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: in so many categories on defense. They allowed thirty point

779
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: nine points per game last year. That was the most

780
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 1: out of any NFL team, So they're gonna look very

781
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: different this year. Now. In the first game against New

782
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: England Patriots, they did allow twenty one points. Cam Newton

783
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: rushed all over them. Like I said earlier, for seventy

784
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: five rushing yards. They allowed two hundred and seventeen rushing

785
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: yards total, which was the most in the NFL, although

786
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: passing wise, they only allowed one hundred and forty passing yards.

787
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: That's the lowest in the league. So I would see

788
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more in the run game this week

789
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to Zack Moss, Devin Singletary, and josh

790
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: Alan Brian Flores. When he was asked about how they

791
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: were against the run, specifically Cam Newton, he said their

792
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: defense needed to do a better job with quarterback reads,

793
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: setting the edge and there's quite a bit of miscommunication.

794
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: So we'll see if the Miami defensive line linebackers can

795
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: get that figured out before Sunday, because if not, I

796
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: could see a lot from Singletary, Moss and Josh Allen. Again,

797
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: all right, Mattie, listen, we appreciate the insight from the

798
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: sidelines there at practice. Thanks for keeping an eye out

799
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: for us. I'm sure you'll keep us updated with respect

800
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: to the injury news, especially that at John Brown when

801
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: the injury report comes out later today. Yeah, definitely, thanks guys.

802
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Mattie. That's Maddie Glab live from the

803
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: sidelines John Brown. The latest development reports are that it

804
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: is a foot injury for John Brown and he is

805
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: not participating in practice today. We'll have to see where

806
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: that goes whether, I mean, all indications are he's going

807
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: to be a straight DNP today and the hope obviously

808
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: is that he just needs an extra day of recovery

809
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: and can be out there tomorrow. But a foot injury

810
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: for a receiver, that's pretty significant. Yeah, it is. You know, obviously,

811
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: you know there's what type of injury it is has

812
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: a lot to do with it, and whether it's something

813
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with, or whether it came out of nowhere,

814
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: whether it happened in the game, or whether it just

815
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: got sore overnight. It could be any of those things.

816
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: We don't know, but they need that guy. This is

817
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: a year where and I said it be carved the

818
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins up last year, down the well, you have eight catches,

819
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty some yards in touchdown. This is

820
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: a year that one of the things that this is

821
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: out of control of Sean McDermot and the players is injuries.

822
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: That's the one thing they can't really control and it's

823
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: the one thing that could really derail your season quickly.

824
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: So it's They've been very fortunate the last couple of years.

825
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's an accident. I think they've

826
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: got a great culture and a great system in place

827
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: for maintenance and getting out ahead of injuries, injury preventative

828
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: stuff that they do. I think they're way out ahead

829
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: of it. But that doesn't mean they're gonna go injury

830
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: free all year. And certainly around the National Football League

831
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, You've got a ton of guys, a

832
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: ton of teams are in the exact same boat as

833
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: the Bills. With soft tissue injuries, so we'll have to

834
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: see where that goes. Obviously, Tremade Emmons isn't going to

835
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: be hitting anybody today. He's in a red non contact jersey,

836
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: so too is his backup Tyrrell Dodson. Now we know

837
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: that aj Klein is capable of playing the mic in

838
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: this defense, so if both of those guys are unavailable

839
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday, aj Klein would be the next guy you

840
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: would assume that would step into the mic linebacker position. However,

841
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: if if you get into a base package set and

842
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: you need aj Klein on the strong side, it's probably

843
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: Mattakavich playing the mic linebacker position. In base set defenses.

844
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: When they go to Nickel, it's probably Kleine in Edmund's spot.

845
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: If Dodson can't go, and then filling in for Milano

846
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: is someone else. You would say maybe del Shan Phillips,

847
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: but he's not practicing. So this could get very interesting,

848
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: and depending on the severity that injuries and how they

849
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: project to Sunday, we could see the phone getting picked

850
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: up and some guys coming in for workouts. The Bills

851
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: only have one linebacker on their practice squad. It's Andre Smith,

852
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: who only got here three weeks ago. They did release

853
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: Corey Thompson. We'll have to take a look around the

854
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: league to see if he landed somewhere else, but he

855
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: has experienced in this scheme and has played on the

856
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: week's side. We have to take a break, but we'll

857
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: assess all of that and when we come back, we'll

858
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: also have ESPN's Dan Orlovsky, who had a lot to

859
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: say on Twitter and on his NFL Live show about

860
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: the burgeoning relationship and development of one Josh Allen at

861
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: the elbow of offensive coordinator Brian Dable. That's all coming

862
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: up after we could come back here on One Bill's Live,

863
00:45:45,560 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, this is Buffalo Bill's Radio

864
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 1: at a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

865
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

866
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: players for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

867
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: in the strategyre of normalcy. Our number two of One

868
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, broadcasting from the Seneca Studios in Orchard Parking.

00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: You are Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and joining

Speaker 1: and Pro Football, NFL and College Football analyst. He's also

872
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: on NFL Live for ESPN and Oh, by the way,

873
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: he was a former quarterback who played twelve seasons in

874
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's one Dan Orlovski joining us from Connecticut. Dan,

875
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: how are you doing man, Good to see you. Good

876
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: to do you, guys. I'm doing well, thank you. I'm

877
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: very happy that we have real football games and talk

878
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: about and makes me to be in a pretty good place.

879
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to be with you guys. Yes. Now,

880
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: I have to say that a lot of us follow

881
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: your little, uh immediate turnaround breakdowns on Twitter where you're basically,

882
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: you know, backing up your television video and shooting it

883
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: with your phone. I'm gonna I'm gonna rib you a

884
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: little bit here because you went from a pencil to

885
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: a to a spoon this week. Uh what ompted you

886
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: to go to the spoon? Were you just eating at

887
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: the time? Dan? What the hell was going on there?

888
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: Having some ice cream? No time to waste, man, No,

889
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: don't time to waste. Like when my brain feels like

890
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: they see something I can't, I'm in the middle and

891
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: it's just time to work. So um it. Something was

892
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: there and I said this could be used as my

893
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: tool right now. Yeah, well we got he went he

894
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: went fat end to the spoon, and then he thought

895
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: better of it, was covering up like three players. He

896
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: went back to the to the narrow end of the spoon,

897
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: pointing around. We were well, we've been talking about Week one,

898
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: and we said just before we came on the air

899
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: three months ago, none of us thought we would be here.

900
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: But I think surprisingly, I think Week one of the

901
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: NFL went off without a hitch. I mean, we haven't

902
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: even heard about any outbreaks of the virus. No, you know,

903
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 1: nobody on covid ir yet. This week after the road

904
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: trips that all the visiting teams had to go through.

905
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about the likelihood that this season will go

906
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: off as smoothly as a Week one, Yeah, I'm certainly hopeful.

907
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: And obviously getting to the point where we are today

908
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: is amazing. Is it credit to the NFL as a whole,

909
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: to the individual organizations, to their doctors and the coaches

910
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: and the players just for for their responsibility, for the

911
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: kind of the challenge that they've accepted. In regards that,

912
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: I'm confident, I've been confident. I think that most there's

913
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in the NFL that one are responsible,

914
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: mature adults like and they can see the big picture,

915
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: and they understand if I want to make my half

916
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: a million, three million, six seven million dollars this year,

917
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: I need to play football, and I need to make

918
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: sure that my teammates are playing football as well. And

919
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: so I think there's gonna be just a great amount

920
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: of accountability in locker rooms in regards to that and

921
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: to oneself into one's teammates and families. So it's a

922
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: great start and certainly hopeful it keeps going. I know

923
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: Dan that you often keep your eyes on young up

924
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: and coming quarterbacks, the twenty eighteen class notwithstanding, and Josh

925
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: is obviously in that group. And Steve and I have

926
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: been talking about this the last couple of days because

927
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: as we've watched Josh and every minute of his play

928
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, I think we came

929
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: to the conclusion that Josh was probably never gonna be

930
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: in that Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers category of sixty

931
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: eight to seventy percent completion, but because of what he

932
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: does with his legs, if he was a sixty two

933
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: to sixty four completion passer and gave you what he

934
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: gave you with his legs, including the rushing touchdowns. You

935
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: could win with that. But last week they go short

936
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 1: to intermediate passing almost exclusively. Their longest play is twenty

937
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: nine yards and he completes almost seventy two percent of

938
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: his passes. Talk about the level of efficiency that Brian

939
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: Dable has created for Josh Allen in this passing game. Yeah,

940
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: it's been really awesome to watch, you know. I would

941
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: say it really started mid season last year and kind

942
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: of carried its way through the year and then really

943
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: getting a feel of what Josh is as a quarterback

944
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: and who Josh is as a quarterback. I think kind

945
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: of the way I've started to realize quarterback player in

946
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 1: the way I try to educate or communicate it to people.

947
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 1: As some guys are thinkers and some guys are reactors.

948
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: You can win with both and you could be great

949
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: with both. And Josh has kind of started to show

950
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: himself as one of those reacting type of quarterbacks. That's

951
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: not a knock on intellect, it's just what his strength is.

952
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: It's playing reactionary football. And so Davill has really done

953
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: a good job, and I think Ken Dorsey as well

954
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: is going, Okay, I've got this quarterback and he struggles

955
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: with this stuff, right, so why am I going to

956
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: continue to ask him to do those things? And while

957
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: you can do that, or while you can see that

958
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: about a player, he's going, man, he's really good at

959
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: this stuff. He's really gotten good at throwing crossing routes.

960
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: He's really understanding to put some touch on a football.

961
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: He's really a big time athlete. Son. Can we create

962
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: some space for him in the run game? And it's

963
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: and I said this yesterday and TV, it's very similar

964
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: to what Greg Roman has done with Lamar Jackson, Like,

965
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: hey man, this kid's really good at this stuff. We

966
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: won't ask them to throw outside the numbers at time.

967
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: It's not what he does well. So maybe not ask

968
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: Josh to push the football down the field so much.

969
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: Although he has the big arm, it's just not what

970
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: he does well. And so watching week one, I know

971
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: it's Week one, I'm not overacting, I'm just being passionate.

972
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I just think it's really cool to see.

973
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 1: And so m Dabel deserves a ton of credit, Josh

974
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: deserves a ton of credit. And I think the organization

975
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: deserves a ton of credit for kind of surrounding him

976
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 1: with the people they have. Do you think more teams

977
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: need to be more patient with young quarterbacks? How? I mean,

978
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: because it seems obvious the way the Bills put it

979
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: together around Josh Allen. They got him, they got they

980
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: got They didn't want to play him, but he was

981
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 1: forced in in his rookie season, he kind of struggled

982
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: with a bad offensive line. Then the first thing they

983
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: did when they got some money in an offseason was

984
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: to buy him an offensive line, which really helped him.

985
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: You see what Cleveland has done, You see what the

986
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: Jets have done with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield. Why

987
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: does that seem so difficult for another team to do

988
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: what the Bills have done on a methodical basis, just

989
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: staying inside the lines. Yeah. I think there's an honest

990
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: point to be made as well, is if you look

991
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: at some of the younger quarterbacks that we think are

992
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: starting to become good players and not only having like

993
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: individual success, but team success. To my knowledge, most of them,

994
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: they are the kids that were traded for by good

995
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: football teams, right like Houston traded up for Dashawn Kent

996
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: City traded up for Patrick Baltimore traded up for Lamar.

997
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: I believe you guys traded up for Josh Right. And

998
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: so you guys were like good football teams that weren't

999
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: drafting in the first three or four picks. Thank you.

1000
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: Guys went to the playoffs the year before with Tyrod,

1001
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: the same with Alex Smith in Kansas City. So like

1002
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: there was a much healthier football team. Maybe not like

1003
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: top five, six, seven rosters in the NFL, but wasn't

1004
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: bottom three or four either, and so a healthier kind

1005
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: of just foundational point for some of the young quarterbacks

1006
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: and the guys like Baker, Sam Darnold. You know, those

1007
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: guys were drafted by disasters and they've only kind of

1008
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: maintained being disasters. And so, you know, without taking things

1009
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: away from those players, because they're doing a great job

1010
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 1: of development, they are benefiting from the fact that they

1011
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 1: went to an organization that you know, kind of had

1012
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: a higher foundation than some of the other kids. And

1013
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: then Jess with respect to Josh and what he does well,

1014
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 1: we've seen him have a good deal of success off

1015
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: play action. And we look at the percentages from last

1016
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: week and almost twenty five percent of their plays came

1017
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: off play action, Dan, and that seems to be a

1018
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: sizeable number. You would know better than we would, but

1019
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: they ranked twenty fourth in play action last year. It

1020
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: looks like that's going at least at first Blush. I

1021
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: know it's only one game that it's going to be

1022
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 1: a bigger part of what they do, because Josh last

1023
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: week off play action twelve of eighteen for one hundred

1024
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: and sixty five yards and a touchdown with a one

1025
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: fourteen passer rating. Yeah. I would say two things in

1026
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: regards to this, like with football, actually three things right now.

1027
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: When it comes to football and offensive coordinators in the NFL,

1028
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: if you aren't utilizing play action, no matter who your

1029
00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: quarterback is. If you're not using pre snap motion, matter

1030
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: whom your quarterback is. No, if you're not utilizing space,

1031
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: no matter who your quarterback is, you are doing a

1032
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: disservice to your football team and your quarterback. This is

1033
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 1: why play action matters, especially if you've got some people

1034
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: to use it. I'll go a little nerdy here with you, guys.

1035
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: First of all, defensive players. Most of defensive players start

1036
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: playing football defensively at the age of nine or ten

1037
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: years old. And the only thing they hear from that

1038
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: age is we gotta stop the run. We gotta stop

1039
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: the run. We gotta stop the run. We gotta stop.

1040
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: That's all they hear. It's ingrained in them. So you

1041
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: don't even need to be a really good running football

1042
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: team to understand that if you present the football to

1043
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: a tailback, defenders are going to go that way. They

1044
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: are they are trained to go to the football, and

1045
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: so that is going to create hesitation on a defensive line,

1046
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: hesitation at the second level and hesitation at the secondary level.

1047
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: The second thing is this, if you've got people I

1048
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: want everyone to think of like a carnival, right, and

1049
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: you know the big giant hammer game, you slam it

1050
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: down and the light goes up. Yeah, think of the

1051
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,280
Speaker 1: light as like the top of a defense the secondary.

1052
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,959
Speaker 1: The more speed you have in the play action game,

1053
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: the higher that light goes. Right, And then think of

1054
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: the second level, the linebackers as the hammer and the

1055
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: play action gets those guys to get down closer towards

1056
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Now, imagine how big that light is,

1057
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: Like how big of a gap that is. You're stretching

1058
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: out the defense, you are creating gaps in the defense.

1059
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 1: When you go with play action pass, those are easier

1060
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: throws for quarterbacktion. So that's why I think it's such

1061
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: a big deal to continue to utilize it. The same

1062
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: with pre snap motion. Force defenses to communicate, force these

1063
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: defenses to play on the fly, you change run fits,

1064
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: you help guys get off press, and then the more

1065
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: space you can create with guys then attack it. It's

1066
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: better and I think Davel's doing a really good job

1067
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: with all three of those things. Well, we had we

1068
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 1: had an opening game that Josh Allen has not shown.

1069
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: He threw us over three hundred yards completed, like Brownie said,

1070
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: over seventy percent of his passes. But they were and

1071
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 1: I say, but they were playing the Jets. How much

1072
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: of it was How much did you see that said hey,

1073
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: this guy is better? And how much can we attribute

1074
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: to the fact that the the Jets struggled. Yeah, this for

1075
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: me is so much more about Josh and the Buffalo Bills.

1076
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, I remember last year Lamar lit up the

1077
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins in Week one and everybody said, yeah, but

1078
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: it's the Dolphins. Rumor has it Lamar had a good

1079
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: season last year. So this is so much more about

1080
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: Josh and the bills. I'd say two things for me

1081
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: that kind of stood out was or three things. The

1082
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: way that Josh has really learned to use his eyes.

1083
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: You guys know that that was one of the things

1084
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: that I was very wary and critical of with Josh

1085
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: coming out of school, was he really lacked eye discipline

1086
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: when you play his own defense around him or against him.

1087
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: Right now, he's really got a good feel for using

1088
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: his eyes as a weapon, moving defenders, trying to create

1089
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: bigger windows for the passing. The second thing is some

1090
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: of the touch throws. He had an outroute to John

1091
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: Brown off a little flashbaked play action to the right

1092
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: sideline that he had to get up over a safety

1093
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: but firm enough before the corner gets there. Outstanding throw.

1094
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: The crossing route to Stefan Diggs that comes out the

1095
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: sky and just lands so softly on his feet is outstanding.

1096
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: And those are those touch throws that I don't know

1097
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: if we've seen from Josh a lot. Certainly did not

1098
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: see it a lot in college. And that's growth in development.

1099
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: There's no other way for me to kind of spin it.

1100
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: That's growth in development. And so that's why for me,

1101
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: it's so much more about Josh and than I love

1102
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: the way they're using it in the run game. I mean,

1103
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: they are doing Baltimore stuff where it's zone read and

1104
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: they're bringing people from one side of the formation to

1105
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: the other in the zone read game. And the only

1106
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: thing I would say with Josh is, you know when

1107
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: you're a runner. That's the thing you got to prove

1108
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: to your coaching staff right now. In my opinion, when

1109
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: you're a runner, that ball is your franchise and you

1110
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: got to know when the risk is worth it and

1111
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: when it's not, because putting the ball in the ground

1112
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: twice you're only gonna get so many lucky bounces, right.

1113
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: Last one I have for you on Josh is and

1114
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: we're talking as Dan Orlovsky, NFL analyst for ESPN, also

1115
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: on NFL Live, And the one I have for you

1116
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: is how much of what Buffalo can now deploy at

1117
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: the receiver position across the board put supposing defenses in

1118
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: a tough spot if they want to spy Josh, can

1119
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: you just kind of run us through the different things

1120
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: that are at play there that can compromise a coordinator's

1121
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: ability to just say, hey, we got a spy Josh here,

1122
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: But hold up a second. We got Brown and Digs

1123
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: on the outside and Beasley here. Just walk us through

1124
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: that if you could from an x's and o's perspective. Yeah. So,

1125
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: first of all, I'll start with Brown. The reason why

1126
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: he is an asset is the speed, right, and defensive

1127
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: coordinators always have to ask, all right, they've got speed

1128
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: on the perime or do we feel good just going

1129
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: one on one with the potential big play down the

1130
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: field or you know, just a catching run, Because that's

1131
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: when you determined can you give safety help or not?

1132
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: I think he had that second and fourteen check against

1133
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: pressure where it was a little slip screen to John

1134
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: creates a big play, right, So that's the question you

1135
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: have to ask with what John Brown first is like,

1136
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: are you weary that his speed can create a big play,

1137
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: even turning short passes into big games. Then Stefon Diggs.

1138
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: The biggest question with Stefan is I think he's one

1139
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: of the better man to man route runners in the NFL.

1140
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Do you think that you have a person that confidently

1141
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: can match up with him just one on one when

1142
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: it comes to routes, Because I would say that most

1143
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: teams do not. I think there's some great corners in

1144
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. One of them resides in Buffalo. But I

1145
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: don't know how many guys you feel great just going

1146
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: one on one matchup wise with And if you say no,

1147
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: well then you go, we can help in coverage, we

1148
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: can play robber or we can pay a thief. Well,

1149
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: you only get eleven, right, and so that robber or

1150
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: thief guy is either going to rob the receiver or

1151
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: he's going to spy the quarterback. And then with Beasley,

1152
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: it's the same thought presses on the inside. Do we

1153
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: feel that we could play not only like when you

1154
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: play zone coverage, do you have someone that can kind

1155
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,479
Speaker 1: of make sure that he can match up in zone

1156
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: coverage with them and not create too many too much space?

1157
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: And then man on the inside, And then you're always

1158
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: thinking as a defensive coordinator. Okay, if the answers know

1159
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: we've got to put numbers rather than people that way, well,

1160
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: those numbers can only go two places to the receivers

1161
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: or to the quarterback, and so if you decide to

1162
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: do both, then you only have a three man rush.

1163
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: And that's where you know offensive line will play better

1164
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: and Josh will hopefully be patient with the football. I've

1165
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: said in Dawson Knocks too, I said this, I think, gosh,

1166
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: maybe back into May that I would have put Buffalo

1167
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: in like the top seven or eight when it came

1168
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: to like full skilled position supports to the quarterback. I

1169
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: think they got four really good players. And if you

1170
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: look at the NFL the last what three or four years,

1171
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: the teams that go deep in the playoffs and into

1172
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, they don't have one superstar. They got

1173
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: four or five six really really good players. And I

1174
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: think Buffalo is kind of be coming. Now what do

1175
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: you think this offense will look like when it plays

1176
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: its best? They spend a lot of time in eleven personnel.

1177
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: They didn't get much going in the run game. Certainly

1178
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: that may change if you because ten personnel a lot

1179
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: of ten personnel. And what do you see as a

1180
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,479
Speaker 1: trend in the NFL that the Bills may follow or set?

1181
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you what do you think the

1182
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: identity of this offense is going to be? And Brian

1183
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: day Ball with the quarterback of the Bills have and

1184
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, what do you think this offense would look

1185
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: like when it is at its best? Yeah, when the

1186
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: offense is gonna or what it'll look like when it's

1187
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: at its best, is eleven on eleven. It won't be

1188
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 1: eleven on ten. There's been great offenses in the NFL

1189
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: that have been eleven on ten, and the quarterback is

1190
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: not kind of a weapon. He's not used, he's not

1191
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: deployed to make it eleven on eleven. Josh is one

1192
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: of those players that you can utilize in that aspect,

1193
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: and so you're imagining there's fifty three and a third

1194
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: yards on every single play sideline to sideline, and I

1195
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: think Dabo will continue to stretch people out horizontally knowing

1196
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: that he can play eleven on eleven football, and that's

1197
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: just going to force defenses into decision making. And I

1198
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: think like really good offenses right now when the NFL

1199
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:35,439
Speaker 1: are deciding to attack people rather than schemes, and they're

1200
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: forcing you to get your personnel right before you get

1201
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: your play call right, and that's really difficult when you

1202
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: got good skill players and a quarterback that you can

1203
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: use eight plays a game as a runner. And so

1204
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs that really started to become a

1205
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: team that I've looked at and said they're not an

1206
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: eleven personnel. They're just in big ten. You know, Kelsey's

1207
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: not playing tight end. He's playing flexed out wide receiver.

1208
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: I expect to see that a little bit out of Buffalo.

1209
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: Even they're eleven, will start to look like ten because

1210
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: it's just big ten. Knox will be playing a receiver

1211
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: type of They might put his hand in the dirt.

1212
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 1: He ain't playing tight end. They're gonna utilize him in

1213
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: the pass game and continue to stretch teams, creating that space.

1214
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it could be a very

1215
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: very dangerous offense this season very quickly, Dan, because I

1216
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: know we have to let you go. Two of the

1217
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: best cornerbacks in the league are going to be on

1218
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: the same field next week when the Bills play the Rams,

1219
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: and two of the highest paid cornerbacks in the league

1220
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: and Tredavious White and Jalen Ramsey. What makes those two elite?

1221
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: I guess what goes into making a corner of league

1222
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: because they have two very different styles. Ramsey's a chance

1223
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: taker and Trudevious is by the letter a technician. Yeah,

1224
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: I'd say that. Jalen. I mean he's just so physical

1225
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: and long. His confidence is obviously a big deal, but

1226
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: physical and long, like he wants to beat you up. Imagine,

1227
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, kind of thinking thy Law for the AFC East,

1228
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: people like ty Law used to just bury you at

1229
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and then Dredavius. I don't this

1230
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: is um. I think he's a like a a more technical,

1231
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: technically sound Asante Samuel, like I would be scared to

1232
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: death to throw the ball his way when he's playing

1233
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: off coverage because he plays corner like a point guard,

1234
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: almost like his vision, his ability to play with vision

1235
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and just kind of have great feel

1236
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: for the football. It's vary as Sante Samuel like to me,

1237
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: and so premier corner. I would probably call him the

1238
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: best dollar for dollar corner in the NFL, even though

1239
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: he got paid. I think he's the best dollar for

1240
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: dollar corner in the NFL. Dan, thanks for the insight

1241
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: and the time. As always, we know we have to

1242
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: let you go, so we appreciate it and we look

1243
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: forward to talking to you down the line. Here. Good

1244
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: luck on NFL Live going forward. Thanks guys, all right.

1245
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Dane or Osky from ESPN. I just love the way

1246
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: he breaks stuff down, but man, I had to give

1247
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: him a little crap for the I'm because I'll be

1248
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: scrolling around on Twitter and I was watching the Monday

1249
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: night game, the early Monday night game, and he's the business. Well,

1250
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: he's watching. He's watching the game just like I am.

1251
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: And then something strikes him that he sees on tape

1252
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: or that he sees in the game. He backs up

1253
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: his television on his DVR and then he cues it

1254
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: up and I don't know if he's eating ice cream

1255
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: or whatever during the game. He's usually he usually uses

1256
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: a pen because you know, he used the point of

1257
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: the pen because the people are small on that screen.

1258
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: He's using a spoon and he uses the fat end

1259
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: of the spoon and he realizes he's covering up half

1260
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 1: the offensive line, so he flips the spoon around and

1261
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: he uses the point. Oh man, I had to I

1262
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: had to rip that a little bit. It was funny.

1263
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: But I love those breakdowns that he has on Twitter.

1264
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: It's just a two minute snippet something that he sees

1265
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 1: with his trained quarterback eye. Then I'm never gonna see

1266
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: I love that. And it's easy too. He's got a

1267
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: lot of expertise. He played quarterback for a long time.

1268
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: He's the guy. If you don't know who he is,

1269
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: he's the guy, the quarterback that was playing for the

1270
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions and right, and he took the snap in

1271
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: his own end zone and ran out the back of

1272
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: the end zone and didn't know he was out the

1273
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. That's Dan or LOFs. But

1274
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: his experience and his depth of knowledge is obvious. When

1275
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: he retired from from the NFL, he you know, he

1276
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: didn't he was trying to find something to do and

1277
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: stuff and he was just noticing some things on games.

1278
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: So he started to tweet out his analysis of what

1279
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: he saw. And he's obviously we have him on our show.

1280
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: He's great. He puts it into Layman's terms. He has

1281
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: a great the thing about the carnival, the carnival game

1282
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: where you hit the hammer and ring the bell. It's

1283
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: a great analogy of creating space as an offense. His

1284
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: ability to communicate that to the regular fan and starting

1285
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: from his own house and his own Twitter account. Now

1286
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: he's working for ESPN as an analyst because of his depth.

1287
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: And of course he didn't just decide to do it.

1288
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy played for thirteen years in the league,

1289
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: so but just doing that kind of small quick hit

1290
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: of an analysis really opened up a lot of doors

1291
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: for a lot of people to understand the game better.

1292
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: And he can't say enough about again, and we've talked

1293
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: about this a lot, but player development. I think when

1294
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: Josh came into the league thee the widely held opinion

1295
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: was due to lack of time in the college game

1296
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 1: that Josh had the biggest learning curve to travel among

1297
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: those five quarterbacks that got drafted with him in round one.

1298
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 1: He did not get a lot of starts. I think

1299
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: he played in twenty one college games, you know at Wyoming,

1300
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 1: played some junior college and I think he had like

1301
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty something starts or something over those two years. So

1302
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean a limited a bill, a limited amount of

1303
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: time to improve as a quarterback. And so I think

1304
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: that's why you saw the learning curve where it was

1305
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 1: in year one, year two. But the job that Brian

1306
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Dabel has done with him and Josh's commitment to being great,

1307
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he said playing football at the NFL level

1308
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: is all I've ever wanted to do. He's proven that

1309
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: with the level of commitment he's made to making himself

1310
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: a better quarterback. Now will this week be as easy

1311
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,600
Speaker 1: as last week. I don't think so. In terms of

1312
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: the passing game, the corners that the Dolphins can put

1313
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: on the field are damn good, so it will be

1314
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a challenge. But if they

1315
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: can get the running game going and force Miami to

1316
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: respect that, then you set up play action and then

1317
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,799
Speaker 1: you set up matchups that could work in your favor,

1318
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,719
Speaker 1: and maybe your best option this week is Dawson Knox

1319
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: in the passing game. The point is this, this team

1320
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: is built to be able to win in a week

1321
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: one week where the defensive line of the other team

1322
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: can stop the run, and they're also built to win

1323
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: if they come out with two good corners. This team's

1324
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: also should be built to win if the defense can

1325
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: pressure a passer, and this is a team that should

1326
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: be able to win when it's something else. This team

1327
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: is built to be able to win a multitude of

1328
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: ways because of their talent level, in their depth, and

1329
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 1: it will be interesting to see. And that's how we

1330
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: got to our Twitter poll today. What kind of matchup

1331
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: do you think is going to be important or at

1332
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: least you're willing to know you want to see, And

1333
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,600
Speaker 1: I think the fact we can't figure it out, or

1334
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: we have all these theories about what Brian Dabele's gonna do.

1335
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: He can do a lot of things because he's got

1336
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 1: some things. He's got some weapons and some talent on

1337
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: his offensive side of the ball, and that also goes

1338
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: for Leslie Fraser on the defensive. So your choice is

1339
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll today in terms of what matchup

1340
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: you're most looking forward to against the Dolphins. A the

1341
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: Bills pass game against the Dolphins secondary Ryan Fitzpatrick against

1342
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: the Bills defense Dion Dawkins, or a Shack Lawson, which

1343
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: is a matchup of old friends, or something else. I'm

1344
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, Steve, I've voted for something else. I

1345
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: want to see this run game get some traction this

1346
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: week against this Dolphins defense. They gave up two hundred

1347
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: and fourteen yards on the ground last week. I don't

1348
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: know that they'll give up that much this week because

1349
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: that's probably job number one for them in practice all

1350
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 1: throughout the week that you know, Brian Flores is going

1351
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: to be grinding them on. So but I do want

1352
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,719
Speaker 1: to see more production then we saw this past week

1353
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: because they got to win the battle at the line

1354
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, plain and simple, and if that becomes another

1355
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: tough task for them, we could be running into something here.

1356
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: But it would be because the following week, right, you're

1357
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: going against Aaron Donald and company. You I mean, if

1358
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: you can't do it against the Dolphins defense they gave

1359
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 1: up two hundred rushing yards, then there might be some

1360
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: other issues bubbling up. It would be comforting to have

1361
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary and Zack Moss rush for combined one hundred

1362
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 1: and fifty yards or one hundred or more. It would

1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: be nice to see them put up a big, heavy day,

1364
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,719
Speaker 1: get a good workload, have the team be in control

1365
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: of the game, and just wear them out up front.

1366
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 1: I would be comforting. I think as Bills fans and know, okay,

1367
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: at least we can do it against a team that's

1368
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 1: not maybe the best run defensive team in the league.

1369
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: That would be comforting for Bills fans. I think it'll

1370
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: be just as comforting if they find a way to win.

1371
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: Just that we don't understand, we haven't thought of, Yeah possible.

1372
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: Getting to win is the most important thing, and I

1373
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: don't care what it looks like. I'm sure Bills fans don't.

1374
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: I would like to see this offense win and not

1375
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: leave twelve points on the field. Yeah, you know, I'd

1376
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: like or more. That would be nice too. All Right,

1377
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we return,

1378
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: we'll get to the tweet sheet to see what your

1379
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: thoughts are regarding the matchup you're most looking forward to

1380
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: watching on Sunday against the Dolphins, and you better believe

1381
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: those two running backs are going to be motivated to

1382
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: show out on Sunday because both of them hail from

1383
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: South Florida. Who knows, they may have even gotten some

1384
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 1: of those few tickets available for their family members to

1385
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 1: come watch and play, so hopefully that adds a little

1386
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: X reduced to their tanks, respectively. Steve Tasker Chris Brown

1387
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: back in a moment here on One Bill's Live presented

1388
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Second half

1389
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: of the program is under way here on One Bills Live,

1390
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: a Wednesday edition. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and

1391
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: it is time Steve, as always, to move on to

1392
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,839
Speaker 1: the tweet sheets, brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1393
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. As

1394
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: we are asking you what matchup you're most looking forward

1395
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: to on Sunday against the Dolphins. In my emma and

1396
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: from Jeremy, he says, I enjoyed the passing success we

1397
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: had against a poor secondary. I'm curious to see if

1398
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 1: the run game can't take off like it did this

1399
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: past week. How they are going to get the ball

1400
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: moving is of interest to me, and I would expect

1401
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: them to gain some traction in the run game this week.

1402
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,560
Speaker 1: I should. I am expecting them to have more success

1403
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: than they had last week. It can't be much less

1404
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: effective than it was last week at two point two

1405
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry between Moss and Singletary, respectively. And

1406
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 1: we know the Dolphins struggled last week mightily in terms

1407
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 1: of stopping the run. They're last in the league and

1408
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: run defense right now after one game play, well, they're

1409
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna give it. You would think they're going to come

1410
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:32,680
Speaker 1: in and test it, no question, and every game is

1411
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: different as it unfolds, but it seems obvious that they

1412
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: can't feel good about their football team if they can't

1413
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,759
Speaker 1: run the football against anybody. They couldn't do it against

1414
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: the Jets, and they're going to continue to go to

1415
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: it until they can figure something out. Their offensive lines

1416
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 1: should be able to make some tractions, should be able

1417
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 1: to play better than it did. Certainly, it'll be better

1418
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 1: when Cody Ford and Darryl Williams on the right side

1419
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 1: get more reps together, and the coaching staff is gonna

1420
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:05,600
Speaker 1: die second. Pull apart what those guys do well and

1421
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 1: Taylor the run plan to give those guys a chance

1422
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: to be successful. But there's no way they can. You know,

1423
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't say no way. They don't want to go

1424
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: through the game through the rest of the season without

1425
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 1: having a run game that at least gets some can

1426
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: help that passing game at some point. Josh Allen can't

1427
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: be their running game. It's not sustainable. We had this

1428
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: conversation yesterday. It was our it was our Twitter poll

1429
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: yesterday and Sean McDermott was asked about it today. You

1430
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: know where that balance is between the run and the

1431
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: past for your quarterback, and he's one time too many?

1432
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Is one is way too many because that's when you

1433
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 1: lose your quarterback for a month or for the rest

1434
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: of the season. So you can't go pass that line

1435
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: and still feel good about it because you lose games

1436
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: that way. From Nick, he says I can't wait to

1437
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: watch Josh Allen's growth in the passing game this week

1438
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 1: against Miami's high paid cornerbacks. I do believe this game

1439
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: will not be a walk in the park. You gotta

1440
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 1: love fits and Flores is good. They should be prepared.

1441
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Can't wait. I think you can mark that down as

1442
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 1: a for sure. Like you look at Flores and what

1443
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:19,600
Speaker 1: he's trying to build down there, It's kind of like,

1444
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 1: as we said earlier, the Bills in twenty eighteen, the

1445
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 1: Bills in twenty eighteen, you know, the salary cap purge,

1446
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: cleaning up the cap, parting ways with a lot of talent,

1447
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 1: some of which they didn't feel was a fit here

1448
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 1: and some of which they had to because they had

1449
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: to bite the bullet. I think the general consensus was,

1450
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: even though the team is probably not going to be

1451
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: a playoff team in twenty eighteen, the Bills were going

1452
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: to fight you tooth and nail for every inch on

1453
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: the field. And I think Brian Flores is building something

1454
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 1: similar in Miami. And you saw that in the game

1455
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: last week against New England. They're down fourteen to three

1456
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: and they are coming at New England. I mean everything,

1457
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: whether it's running backs hitting the hole, you know, as

1458
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: hard as they possibly can, whether it's linebackers coming up

1459
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 1: to fill against the run. I mean, they are bringing

1460
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: the wood every single play. They are playing hard for

1461
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: Brian Flores. So Bills get up on the Dolphins. You know,

1462
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: let's say it's fourteen to three, just like it was

1463
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: last week for Miami. They're not going away. They're gonna

1464
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 1: keep fighting tooth and there, and they're not outmanned like

1465
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 1: they were a year ago. Last year they got a

1466
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,799
Speaker 1: lot they were you know, they were accused of tanking

1467
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: and all that, and they just they Brian Flores had

1468
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: him playing too good for them to tank that season,

1469
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: and you can expect them to do that this year.

1470
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: And they've got more talent, and I think the shortened

1471
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 1: preseason in fact that they've got a lot of new

1472
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: prominent players now the Bills adding some new players and

1473
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 1: certainly Steph Diggs as prominent. But that's one. You know,

1474
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 1: you look at the skill sets and the defense and all.

1475
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Most of these guys are have some experience in this,

1476
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: they're veteran players. The Dolphins have a lot of new parts,

1477
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: a lot of new parts, and it's going to take

1478
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: them a while to get it together, a couple of

1479
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: rookies on the offensive line like you mentioned, and the

1480
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: rest of it. So I think they're gonna play better

1481
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: as the weeks go by Miami because they I think

1482
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 1: that's they're one of the teams despite the fact they've

1483
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 1: got the same coach. I think this is one of

1484
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 1: those teams is gonna benefit from or they got crushed

1485
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 1: by not having a preseason. It's going to benefit as

1486
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 1: the first month of the season gets under their belt.

1487
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna look way better than they did in Week one.

1488
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 1: From Ronnie on the tweet sheet, the Dolphins corners are

1489
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,560
Speaker 1: their strength. I think we're going to see more handoffs

1490
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: this week. Dable showed an ability to attack weaknesses, and

1491
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: the Bills have the weapons to attack whatever he wants,

1492
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: which is why I'm looking forward to the matchup between

1493
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: our line and their d line. Now that is an

1494
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 1: interesting matchup. You look at what the Dolphins have to

1495
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 1: throw at the Bills offensive line. They've got a first

1496
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 1: round draft choice since Shack Lawson. They've got a first

1497
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: round draft choice in Christian Wilkins, and then they've got

1498
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: Having Godshaw who was a mid round pick and who's

1499
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:03,800
Speaker 1: the fourth guy on that line up there. I think

1500
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,799
Speaker 1: it's number ninety one on the d line, Edmund Oga

1501
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: Oh Emmanuel, who I think was a late first round

1502
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 1: pick as well. So you've got high draft choices there

1503
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: on the front that are going against this Bill's offensive line.

1504
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: And while I think Buffalo's offensive line is certainly capable

1505
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 1: of resetting the line of scrimmage against this Dolphin's front,

1506
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: let's see it first, because it didn't manifest itself last week.

1507
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 1: So they've got to answer the bell this week in

1508
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: the run game. I mean, plain and simple, And I know,

1509
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: Steve you mentioned this during the break. The Feliciano factor

1510
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:45,719
Speaker 1: is something that if they have trouble winning that battle

1511
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage on a consistent basis, people

1512
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: are gonna start wondering about how much this offensive line

1513
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: does miss John felician Well, he gives him that edge

1514
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: and he's he's his toughness is what they continue to

1515
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 1: talk about last year when he when he emerged as

1516
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: a starting guard for him, they just love what he

1517
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: brings to the table. He's a guy, he's a finisher.

1518
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 1: He goes to the echo of the whistle, he and

1519
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 1: it defenders don't like guys like that. They have a

1520
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 1: hard time playing against. He is a tough customer and

1521
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,719
Speaker 1: it's always fun to have it because not everybody likes

1522
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 1: to go in looking for a fight in a football game, right,

1523
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: So when when you're starting to get frustrated and things

1524
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 1: like that, you need somebody who likes to mix it

1525
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 1: up like that, who likes to you know, he'll grab

1526
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,640
Speaker 1: the other guy's face mask and push him off, you know,

1527
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: after the whistles off, and be the guy that steps

1528
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: in and separates him or has to be separated from

1529
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:43,719
Speaker 1: that team. You need a guy who is that knock,

1530
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm not backing down kind of guy because other guys

1531
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: will be able to jump on with him, and it

1532
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: gives your whole team a little grit. You need that. Yeah,

1533
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: we saw some of that from Cody Ford last year

1534
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: as a rookie. I still remember the pre season game

1535
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 1: in Detroit where I want to say it's Mike Daniels,

1536
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,680
Speaker 1: veteran defensive linemen in this league, a guy that's known

1537
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: for mixing it up with people and talking crap. He

1538
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,680
Speaker 1: went after Cody Ford because he thought Cody played too

1539
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 1: far after the whistle with him and he went after

1540
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: him and Cody went right back at him, which was

1541
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,560
Speaker 1: good to see, because you don't want a rookie, you know.

1542
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't earned his stripes in this league,

1543
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: but you don't back down to anybody otherwise they're gonna

1544
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: kick you to the curb in terms of respect and

1545
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. So it was good to see

1546
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:34,720
Speaker 1: him go after him and know that he's got some

1547
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 1: fire in the belly. We may need to see more

1548
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 1: of that this week. Someone's gonna have to charge that

1549
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: group up to get them going in the run game,

1550
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: and I think they'll have more success than they did

1551
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 1: last week. The degree of success is something that I'm

1552
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 1: anxious to see here. Not that it's hard to imagine

1553
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: him having less. I know, I know it was in

1554
01:21:56,320 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 1: consists non existent yet yet too. Both the longest run

1555
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,720
Speaker 1: by them was what eight yards twelve and that I

1556
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,719
Speaker 1: think the rest of it was that had two runs

1557
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: each running back. Both Moss and Singletary had the had

1558
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 1: one long run. And I'm gonna tell you what it

1559
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 1: is right now. The statistics of that game. Here we go,

1560
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 1: Singletary and Moss, they each had nine Singletary's long run

1561
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: was twelve. Mosses long run was seven, So you take

1562
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: the twelve off, Singletary had eight rushes for twenty eight yards.

1563
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: Moss had eight rushes. Ye have eight rushes for twenty

1564
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: eight yards. He had eight rushes for eighteen yards. That's right, eighteen,

1565
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 1: not twenty eight eight mass public math. So he had

1566
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,600
Speaker 1: eight rushes for eighteen did Singletary? If you take his

1567
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,639
Speaker 1: long run off and Moss had eight for four for four,

1568
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 1: that's non existent run game. Yeah, it's got to be

1569
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: better this week. I don't think there's any question about that.

1570
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the tweets and Tiffany says, in

1571
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: my opinion, this will be a close game and our

1572
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: special teams unit will determine the outcome. Andre Roberts was

1573
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 1: exceptional in a return game, setting up the offense with

1574
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: solid field position. Tyler Bass has to execute his field

1575
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: goal attempts. I think this game comes down to a

1576
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: clutch field goal. She is expecting a nail biter, Steve,

1577
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: and she picked other on the Twitter poll because she's

1578
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: going special teams. Yeah, she's right. I think Andre Roberts

1579
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: was a big factor in this Bill's Jets game. He

1580
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,559
Speaker 1: was a field pace had a better run game than

1581
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: they and Bass. There's no question Bass is going to

1582
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: come in with a little chip on his shoulder with

1583
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 1: something to prove. I don't know whether that's a helpful

1584
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: thing or a hurtful thing for a kicker. It's different

1585
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: for each one of them, but no question about it.

1586
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: If it comes down to a clutch field goal and

1587
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: Bass is the one who actually kicks it and makes it,

1588
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: particularly if it's like fifty five yarder that goes miles

1589
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: towards his confidence level in the team and the in

1590
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: the fan base having a little bit more face them

1591
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: From Nick t on the tweet sheet, gotta go with

1592
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,560
Speaker 1: our pass game against their secondary. Against the Jets, we

1593
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: were about as good as we could have hoped for

1594
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 1: after all our offseason moves. But I want to see

1595
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 1: if it was due more to our ability or the

1596
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 1: jets bad secondary. The Dolphins should help show our true colors.

1597
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: But he is dead on with that, because you're gonna

1598
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: this is a better measuring stick this week against this

1599
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,680
Speaker 1: secondary than last week was. Last week didn't tell you

1600
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: anything other than the Bills are capable of playing pitch

1601
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: and catch. This week will tell you whether your receivers

1602
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: are good enough to win on a consistent basis against

1603
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 1: quality defensive backs. Yeah, that's it'll be interesting to see.

1604
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:45,640
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see given the fact that

1605
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna the Dolphins will both play man and zone,

1606
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: and how Josh adjust to that because the Dolphins can't.

1607
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 1: They're not gonna play man coverage just press man coverage

1608
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: for eighty snaps this game, and you've got to be

1609
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 1: able to see the difference and know the difference between

1610
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: the two. And I would like to see Josh be

1611
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more efficient. I would like, you know,

1612
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,679
Speaker 1: first of all, don't fumble the ball twice, but also

1613
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: be able to hit those passes that everybody outside of

1614
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:16,720
Speaker 1: Bill's fans and vandom was pointing at and saying, hey,

1615
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: your guy hasn't changed. I want to see him just

1616
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 1: hit those. There's gonna be times when the Dolphins drop

1617
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,720
Speaker 1: coverage and Josh's gonna have a chance to hit a

1618
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: wide open guy. Take your time and hit that guy.

1619
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to stay on the field again. I want

1620
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 1: him to have those fourteen play drives I had, drive

1621
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: they had that those first couple of drives they had

1622
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: weren't even close they the Jets could not get them

1623
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 1: off the field. They were in total looked like they

1624
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 1: were paying eight guys defense. Total control. That's what I

1625
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: want to see again. I don't care if they're throwing

1626
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: it every down or running it every down. Just stay

1627
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: on the field and dominate the game with time of

1628
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: possession and finish your drives with points. Time to take

1629
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: a break. But when we return, Steve and I will

1630
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: discuss an interesting statistic from week one, and it is

1631
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 1: not about the mobile quarterbacks that Steve broke off on

1632
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: us yesterday with all of them going five and zero.

1633
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: It has to do with the officials and the number

1634
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 1: of penalties called, the specific penalty being holding. We will

1635
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 1: break that down for you when we return here on

1636
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 1: one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo

1637
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 1: Bills Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and we

1638
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: are set to close out our number two of the show.

1639
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Coming up at two is one Armundo sal Gero. That's

1640
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 1: how I would do it. If he was like a

1641
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: professional athlete and I was the PA announcer, I would

1642
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 1: be doing that every single time. Dolphins reporter from the

1643
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: Harold will be joining us at the top of the hour.

1644
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 1: We do want to remind you Bill's fans that Thurman,

1645
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 1: Thomas and Pepsi have teamed up this Bill season to

1652
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 1: got a food truck, Billy Buffalo is riding Shotgun with him.

1653
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 1: Should be interesting to see what he will have in

1654
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 1: store for the winner of a home tailgate experience. Yeah,

1655
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,679
Speaker 1: and suffice to say that nice truck. Thurman. Thurman isn't

1656
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 1: shy about yelling at the television if there's something he

1657
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: doesn't like seeing a during game. It's never been shot.

1658
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: Never been shot, Steve, I wanted to run this past you.

1659
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:06,680
Speaker 1: One of the developments from week one. Okay, there were

1660
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 1: several obviously with the Bills and across the league. This

1661
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: is a lot of injuries, as we've talked about already

1662
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: on today's show. One thing there weren't a lot of

1663
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 1: we're holding penalties, Steve, do we remember the time last

1664
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: year around this time where holding was a point of

1665
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: emphasis for NFL officials, And my god, did we see

1666
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 1: a lot of them? How much you ask how much?

1667
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 1: Last year in Week one there were eighty two holding

1668
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:46,839
Speaker 1: penalties called league wide last week a total league wide eighteen.

1669
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 1: That is a precipitous drop off, a precipitous from eighty

1670
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: two a year ago. Obviously, the general consensus is that

1671
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: after the long layoff, officials, although the league won't admit this,

1672
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:10,719
Speaker 1: we're basically encouraged to not call as many holding penalties

1673
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: unless it was egregious to maintain the flow of the game.

1674
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 1: And I will have to say this, Steve, last week's

1675
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 1: game between the Bills and the Jets just seemed to

1676
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 1: move along at a nice pace because the flags were

1677
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 1: in gobbing up the works. I liked it. Yeah, I

1678
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: did too, And I was I am not surprised that

1679
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 1: the point of emphasis for the twenty twenty season is

1680
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 1: don't call it day out of the way. I get that,

1681
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 1: and I was worried. I was kind of worried about

1682
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: how it was going to go with the officiating, how

1683
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: not just how many they would call and look, but

1684
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: also whether they would be up to it, and I

1685
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: think they were. They think they did a good job. Now,

1686
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: certainly you can look back at every game, and it

1687
01:29:56,439 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 1: happens every week and absolutely every game without exception, that

1688
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 1: there's a call where you go NAS should call that

1689
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 1: all of that, But there was no call in the game.

1690
01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 1: So you can go back and look at the Jacksonville. No,

1691
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:12,960
Speaker 1: that wasn't the Jacksonville. It was the Rams Dallas Rams

1692
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: Dallas game at the end where the cowboy receiver extended,

1693
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 1: and I thought it live and live action, I saw

1694
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 1: Ramsey kind of has it, you know, get pushed, and

1695
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,640
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, that's I thought it was right. That

1696
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: was a good call. So live action, of course he

1697
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 1: did cornerback embellishment. But if you see that thing in

1698
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:35,360
Speaker 1: live action, hey, I don't know. I mean it looks

1699
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: like an easy job on TV. If you're on the

1700
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: sideline watching the speed at which these players play and

1701
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 1: you have to make a call like that, it is

1702
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: not as easy as it looks. They do not have

1703
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: an easy job. I will say this. The penalty total

1704
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:52,320
Speaker 1: for holding eighteen penalties for holding across the league in

1705
01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:57,719
Speaker 1: week one, it is the second fewest total penalties, second

1706
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 1: in twenty years. In a given week, well, there you go,

1707
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 1: in any given week. Yeah, not just week one, any

1708
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:09,599
Speaker 1: given week. Wow, how about them apples? That tells me something.

1709
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,639
Speaker 1: It tells me that it's probably not gonna be the same.

1710
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:15,840
Speaker 1: Next one that shows me. That tells me the Bill's

1711
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins is gonna be three hour and forty five minutes.

1712
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,879
Speaker 1: Because you know who's not happy with that. Every defensive

1713
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,560
Speaker 1: lineman in the NFL, right, they'll get some calls, what

1714
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 1: the hell is going that out here? You're gonna throw

1715
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 1: a flag and ut. But here's the thing. Every it's

1716
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: for every team. So unless your team gets five holding

1717
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:40,720
Speaker 1: penalties and the other team gets zero, you don't care

1718
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:43,240
Speaker 1: as a because you've got an offense and a defensive

1719
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:46,679
Speaker 1: line two. So whichever one's you got to. You gotta

1720
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 1: make your guys aware that that's how it's gonna be played.

1721
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,639
Speaker 1: The problem comes with this, some teams will be very

1722
01:31:52,800 --> 01:32:00,280
Speaker 1: adept at exploiting that. Listen, they're not calling holding. Let

1723
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 1: your guy go, get him, you know, use it, make

1724
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 1: him call it and find out how far you're going

1725
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 1: to be able to push it. Your teams are going

1726
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:11,600
Speaker 1: to start to try and turn it to their advantage.

1727
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 1: And when that happens, then I think all of us

1728
01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. We have to step aside.

1729
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 1: But when we return, it will be one Armando Salgero

1730
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 1: joining US Dolphins reporter for the Miami Herald. He'll be

1731
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,240
Speaker 1: on with us after the break to break it down

1732
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:28,680
Speaker 1: for us and see what he thinks about some of

1733
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,639
Speaker 1: the more intriguing matchups in this week, two tilts between

1734
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 1: these division rivals. That's all coming up next here on

1735
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is

1736
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio Balo Bills Radio Network Sports Update, your

1737
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,679
Speaker 1: sports update for One Bill's Drive, A Bill's injury update

1738
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 1: as they return to the practice field in preparation for

1739
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:01,679
Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and player not participating today

1740
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 1: that was unexpected. Wide receiver John Brown not practicing today.

1741
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 1: Reports indicate that it is a foot injury for Brown.

1742
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 1: More will be known when the injury report comes out

1743
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 1: later this afternoon. Joining him on the non participation list

1744
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 1: today is linebacker del Shaun Phillips, who left last week's

1745
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 1: game with a quad injury, and Matt Milano with a

1746
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:25,639
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Fellow linebackers Tremaine Edmonds and Tyrrell Dotson are

1747
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 1: participating in practice but with red non contact jerseys. The

1748
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:33,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers continue to deal with the

1749
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 1: injury bug, and now comes news that star corner Richard

1750
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 1: Sherman is being placed on injury reserve. Sherman's dealing with

1751
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 1: a calf strain, so that means Sherman will miss at

1752
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:44,639
Speaker 1: least the next three weeks. The injury news comes seemingly

1753
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, after Sherman played seventy four of seventy

1754
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:52,559
Speaker 1: eight snaps in Sunday's lost to Arizona last week. News

1755
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,519
Speaker 1: not as just as bad for Saints receiver Michael Thomas,

1756
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 1: the reigning offensive Player of the Year, dealing with an

1757
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 1: injury worse than expected. It's a high ankle sprain that

1758
01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 1: he's sustained last Sunday in the win over the Bucks.

1759
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: He's now expected to miss several weeks. Fresh off setting

1760
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 1: the single season receptions record last year, he had just

1761
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 1: three catches last Sunday. Last year, NFL officials were told

1762
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 1: to make offensive holding calls a point of emphasis, but

1763
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 1: as you heard Steve and I mentioned this year things

1764
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:21,839
Speaker 1: have changed. NFL officials through just eighteen flags for offensive

1765
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 1: holding in Week one, a seventy eight percent decline from

1766
01:34:25,439 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 1: last year. College football news the Big Ten Conference is

1767
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 1: flipped again. They abandoned their previous decision to postpone football

1768
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,880
Speaker 1: until the spring due to the COVID nineteen pandemic, but

1769
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 1: today they approved a false start that will begin the

1770
01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 1: weekend of October twenty third and twenty fourth. The league's

1771
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 1: plan will include daily testing and enhanced cardiac screening. And

1772
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 1: how about them Islanders Stanley Cup playoffs? Last night they

1773
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 1: staved off elimination, winning in double overtime two to one

1774
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:58,639
Speaker 1: over the Tampa Bay Lightning, Jordan Eberley with the game winner.

1775
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 1: They will go to a game six, which will be

1776
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 1: played on Friday. So that is your sports update here

1777
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. Steve Tasker Chris Brown with you

1778
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 1: our number the three of the program, and we are

1779
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 1: kicking it off with the intrepid Dolphins reporter from the

1780
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 1: Miami Herald. And it's one guy that everybody recognizes, even

1781
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 1: up here in Western New York. It is the one,

1782
01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 1: the only Armando Salgaro whose appearance is made possible by

1783
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 1: radio dot Com. Armando, thanks for joining us once again.

1784
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,680
Speaker 1: How you doing, man? What's it like down there in

1785
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 1: South Florida? What do you think it's like. It's sunny,

1786
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 1: it's warm, it's hot, it's humid. I have I'm looking

1787
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 1: out in my yard and there are iguanas out there,

1788
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 1: to wow. I don't like iguanas. They don't they run

1789
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:49,000
Speaker 1: away from you usually. I mean the big danger is

1790
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: them falling out of trees when they fall asleep and

1791
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 1: landing on you. Right. Yeah, I'm not digging iguanas too much.

1792
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't like reptile generally, and I don't like ones

1793
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 1: that are as big as you know, like large cats,

1794
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 1: and could get as big as small dogs. I'm not

1795
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 1: digging that at all. How do you How do you

1796
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: feel about dolphins these days? Are they are? Are you

1797
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 1: not digging them either? They didn't look so good. They

1798
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 1: didn't look so good in their opener against the New

1799
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:22,600
Speaker 1: England Patriots. It was Yeah, it was not really the

1800
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of as Don Shula would say, not the kind

1801
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:28,559
Speaker 1: of performance you want to be associated with. What about

1802
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,760
Speaker 1: it looked like from up here and from from a

1803
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 1: thousand feet away or a thousand miles away. Looked like

1804
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 1: the game was close well into the fourth quarter. Was it?

1805
01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:38,920
Speaker 1: Did it not feel that way? No, not at all,

1806
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact. So the Patriots missed a

1807
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 1: forty five yard field goal and Nikiel Harry fumbled at

1808
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:52,400
Speaker 1: the one yard line after a long drive and the

1809
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: ball went out of the end zone for a Dolphin touchback.

1810
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:59,559
Speaker 1: And so that could have been very easily a thirty

1811
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 1: one to eleven game as opposed to a twenty one

1812
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:09,839
Speaker 1: to eleven game. The Patriots dominated them in time of possession.

1813
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 1: They ran for two hundred and seventeen yards. It was

1814
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:16,559
Speaker 1: you know, they average five point two yards to carry.

1815
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 1: It just felt like the Dolphins were outclassed offensively, defensively

1816
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 1: in coaching. We're talking to Radio dot Com insider Armando Salguero,

1817
01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Rocket Mortgage twenty twenty pro

1820
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:40,639
Speaker 1: I was watching this game back this morning, Dolphins Patriots.

1821
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean they're in this thing though. With eight minutes

1822
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:45,160
Speaker 1: to play, you know, Fitz scrambles around to get the

1823
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 1: two point conversion. You know, and it's it's fourteen eleven.

1824
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:52,679
Speaker 1: You know, they climbed back into it. Do you think

1825
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 1: that's more than indictment on what the Patriots have yet

1826
01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 1: to become with Cam Newton or do you think it's

1827
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:02,960
Speaker 1: it's more the Dolphins have made up some ground a

1828
01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:05,640
Speaker 1: little bit on the rest of the AFC East, or

1829
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:09,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's a little bit of both. No, they were

1830
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 1: in it at fourteen to eleven. But tell the folks

1831
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 1: what happened after it was fourteen to eleven. Yeah, I

1832
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 1: think the Patriots went on like a thirteen played drive

1833
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 1: to make it twenty one eleven. So, you know, look,

1834
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:32,599
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are better than they were a year ago.

1835
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:35,599
Speaker 1: Of course, last year early in the season, they lost

1836
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 1: their first game fifty nine to ten. They lost their

1837
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: second game, I think it was forty to ten or

1838
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 1: forty to nothing. Excuse me, to the Patriots and the

1839
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 1: Patriots this year I don't think are as good as

1840
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:54,200
Speaker 1: what it would suggest based on what they did to

1841
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:58,679
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Because the Patriots on offense, at least on Sunday,

1842
01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: were very one dementia. They didn't have really outside receivers

1843
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:09,799
Speaker 1: that could threaten, you know, downfield. The Dolphins played zone.

1844
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:13,599
Speaker 1: It was it was soft, and the Patriots only through

1845
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifteen yards or something like that. Um,

1846
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:23,720
Speaker 1: it just wasn't It just wasn't a balanced offense by

1847
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:28,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots. But they dominated so thoroughly running the football,

1848
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:33,400
Speaker 1: including with Cam Newton who led them in rushing, that

1849
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:36,680
Speaker 1: it didn't really matter that and that that is the

1850
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:40,599
Speaker 1: galling thing for the Dolphins. You know, most NFL teams

1851
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 1: they want to make the opponent one dimensional. Well, the

1852
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: Patriots were one dimensional and with that one dimension, they

1853
01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:55,559
Speaker 1: they ran up and down the field and so, um,

1854
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:59,919
Speaker 1: that's troubling for the Dolphins. But if I'm a Patriot,

1855
01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking you need a plan B because most teams

1856
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:08,439
Speaker 1: aren't going to let you just cruise up and down

1857
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:12,759
Speaker 1: the field. If you can't throw it, most teams will adjust.

1858
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:16,720
Speaker 1: Most teams will make it stop. And now you're going

1859
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 1: to ask the quarterback to beat you. So for the Dolphins,

1860
01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:24,680
Speaker 1: it's problematic because they couldn't adjust, they couldn't make the

1861
01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 1: bleeding stop, and they couldn't beat the Patriots as a result.

1862
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 1: And how does the dynamic change for the Dolphins defense?

1863
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:35,160
Speaker 1: A defense that looks as though at least from the

1864
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:37,439
Speaker 1: outside that they're trying to build from the back to

1865
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,040
Speaker 1: the front, especially in terms of the money they've invested,

1866
01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 1: and with the draft picks, some of the draft picks

1867
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 1: they made, Igbanogeny among them. How does the dynamic change

1868
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: for that secondary with this receiving corps coming in this

1869
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 1: week where logic would say they may have to man

1870
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:58,200
Speaker 1: up a little bit more than they did last week. Yeah,

1871
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,439
Speaker 1: and I think that they're they believe that they're ready

1872
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 1: for that. Look, they they have the third highest paid

1873
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 1: corner in the NFL and the fifth highest paid corner

1874
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: in the NFL in Byron Jones and Xavian Howard. And

1875
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard was a little banged up and they they

1876
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of introduced them to the season slowly against the Patriots.

1877
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 1: But he's gonna play more snaps and more, get more

1878
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:31,240
Speaker 1: reps in practice this week and get more snaps on Sunday,

1879
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 1: And they think that they have the horses to, you know,

1880
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 1: run with anybody really in the NFL. Because on top

1881
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:44,880
Speaker 1: of those two guys, like you said, they drafted Noah

1882
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:49,639
Speaker 1: Igbnogamy And congratulations to you for pronouncing it very well.

1883
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:56,600
Speaker 1: That shouldn't be the problem. The question again will be

1884
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 1: when the Bills go to that, Is it because they

1885
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: just want to change up or is it because you

1886
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 1: finally figured out how to stop the run and played

1887
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 1: assignment football and you're forcing them to go to that.

1888
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:17,680
Speaker 1: Because if it's the Bills are running the ball and

1889
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 1: now they're going to try and pass it, that's a

1890
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 1: bad day for the Dolphins defense. Was their defensive front

1891
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 1: at default or it is the Patriot you know offensive

1892
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:33,720
Speaker 1: line better? Where What did Brian Flores say about their

1893
01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: inability to stop the run. Well, yeah, their defensive front

1894
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: was at fault. They you know, they couldn't set the edge,

1895
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 1: they couldn't hold the edge. They had the two hundred

1896
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:52,040
Speaker 1: and forty five, two hundred and fifty pound quarterback look

1897
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 1: like a fullback running up the gut. There was an

1898
01:42:55,360 --> 01:43:01,960
Speaker 1: actual the Patriots actually ran a quarterback sweep for a

1899
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:05,200
Speaker 1: first down and I haven't seen that in the NFL

1900
01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:10,600
Speaker 1: in quite a while. And it worked. And then you know,

1901
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:13,600
Speaker 1: they ran another one in the other direction and that

1902
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,400
Speaker 1: went for a touchdown. There was runs up the middle

1903
01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:20,759
Speaker 1: by Cam Newton that went five or six yards before

1904
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:24,960
Speaker 1: he got finally pulled down. It was it was weird.

1905
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 1: So there was assignment football problems in that they didn't

1906
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:35,760
Speaker 1: have their assignments right on who's got the quarterback and

1907
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:40,719
Speaker 1: who's got the running back. I mean, stuff that really

1908
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:46,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL doesn't always happen. I understand there's no preseason.

1909
01:43:46,520 --> 01:43:51,799
Speaker 1: I understand that you know, this was Game one, I suppose,

1910
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: and I expect that they will make the corrections this week.

1911
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:59,519
Speaker 1: In fact, Brian Flores instead he's going to make the

1912
01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 1: correct So it's going to be interesting to see what

1913
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 1: happens because, as everybody knows, Josh Allen is a pretty

1914
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: big quarterback too, and he's got wheels two and as

1915
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:14,560
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, he's faster than Cam Newton. So

1916
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 1: how are you gonna do it this week because you

1917
01:44:19,160 --> 01:44:22,240
Speaker 1: didn't do it last week? Yeah, and Josh has had

1918
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 1: a lot of success running the football against the Dolphins.

1919
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:26,720
Speaker 1: If we've seen in the last couple of years, I

1920
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 1: mean a couple of years ago, he was screwing Kiko

1921
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:33,080
Speaker 1: Alonso into the ground, making him look silly running with

1922
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:35,360
Speaker 1: the football out in open space. I want to flip

1923
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: it around, though, Armando and ask you about this Dolphins

1924
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 1: receiving corps. Obviously, DeVante Parker a question mark this week

1925
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 1: with the hamstring injury. Left the game last week, did

1926
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 1: not return, and he was battling some hamstring issues in

1927
01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:51,639
Speaker 1: training camp if memory serves. So, how does this receiving

1928
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:56,160
Speaker 1: corps look in the event that Parker cannot go this

1929
01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 1: week With Preston Williams, I'm assuming kind of a sending

1930
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:04,640
Speaker 1: to the top role right. Well, first of all, the

1931
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins are optimistic that Parker will be able to play.

1932
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:12,560
Speaker 1: He practiced at least on a limited basis today in

1933
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:17,960
Speaker 1: the portion that was open to media and reporters. He

1934
01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: was there, He was in full pad and he was

1935
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:26,559
Speaker 1: working through the individual drills. So on a very least

1936
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 1: a limited basis he was working today, which is, you know,

1937
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 1: good news for the Dolphins. When he went out in

1938
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:39,360
Speaker 1: early in the second half on Sunday, it didn't look good.

1939
01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 1: There was no response by anyone else stepping up. Preston Williams,

1940
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 1: who was coming back from an ACL injury. He looked

1941
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:53,600
Speaker 1: tentative at times. That was his first game out, so

1942
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, the Dolphins are obviously hoping that improvement is

1943
01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 1: afoot there. And Jacquem Grant was the guy that came

1944
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 1: into the game for DeVante Parker, and those two guys

1945
01:46:08,600 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 1: couldn't be anymore dissimilar. DeVante Parker is a six foot three,

1946
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:18,360
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen pound wide receiver with an amazing

1947
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 1: catch radius, and Jachim Grant is five foot seven and

1948
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, all speed and he's not a big person.

1949
01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:34,439
Speaker 1: So it was it was interesting to see how Fitz

1950
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:40,400
Speaker 1: reacted and how Fitz managed he threw three interceptions. What

1951
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: has been the take on chan Gailey in the way

1952
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:45,760
Speaker 1: he's worked the offense? What is he? What have you

1953
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,519
Speaker 1: found out or how does it look different with Fitz

1954
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 1: this year and this offense with chan Gailey than it

1955
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:56,599
Speaker 1: did a year ago? Right? So last year early Fitz

1956
01:46:56,800 --> 01:47:00,559
Speaker 1: was bad. In fact, I am sure you guys remember

1957
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 1: he got benched for Josh Rosen early on, and then

1958
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 1: when Josh Rosen was worse, then Fitz came back and

1959
01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:14,280
Speaker 1: it looked better, and eventually it started to look pretty good.

1960
01:47:14,840 --> 01:47:18,560
Speaker 1: And then they fired their offensive coordinator, Chad O'shay and

1961
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:21,560
Speaker 1: hired Chan Gailey, who had been three years in retirement

1962
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 1: and at sixty eight years old. Chan Gailey, former Bills coach,

1963
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:31,600
Speaker 1: former Jets offensive coordinator. He put on the field the

1964
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:34,040
Speaker 1: same kind of offense that we saw when he was

1965
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 1: the former Bills coach and the former Jets coordinator. It

1966
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:40,959
Speaker 1: didn't I covered Chan when he was with the Dolphins

1967
01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:45,960
Speaker 1: in like two thousand, two thousand and one, and it looked,

1968
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:50,559
Speaker 1: you know, it's the same offense. So, I mean, I'm

1969
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:54,639
Speaker 1: sure he's got some wrinkles in there, but it looked

1970
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:59,599
Speaker 1: the same. I know that Fitz knows the offense. They're

1971
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 1: not there yet. Yeah. Last one I've got for Armando

1972
01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:07,400
Speaker 1: is about the committee approach in the backfield. We kind

1973
01:48:07,439 --> 01:48:10,479
Speaker 1: of saw Jordan Howard come in around the goal line.

1974
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 1: We saw Miles Gaskin kind of surprise everybody with his

1975
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:18,360
Speaker 1: level of effectiveness, and we barely saw Matt Brita, who

1976
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were of the opinion

1977
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 1: could get a good deal of action. So what has

1978
01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 1: been the feedback from either the offensive staff or coach

1979
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 1: Flores on the means by which they're going to go

1980
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:36,200
Speaker 1: forward with this contingent? Yeah, so Chan has said that

1981
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:38,120
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to go with a kind of

1982
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 1: like a running back by committee, and I hope for

1983
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 1: their sake that the committee includes Matt Brida eventually, because

1984
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:53,679
Speaker 1: it certainly didn't enough. On Sunday. Miles Gaskin was a surprise,

1985
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 1: as he said, he's a former seventh round draft pick

1986
01:48:57,040 --> 01:49:04,160
Speaker 1: who had, you know, a nice training camp. But I

1987
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:08,320
Speaker 1: don't know. They said that they stuck with Gaskin because

1988
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,639
Speaker 1: he had a couple of nice plays. Well, he had

1989
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:15,280
Speaker 1: one ten yard ten yard run and then the rest

1990
01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:20,879
Speaker 1: of the afternoon he had like forty yards on ten carries,

1991
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:27,439
Speaker 1: So that shouldn't be if he's the hot hand, then

1992
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, the hot hand was holding a you know,

1993
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:35,720
Speaker 1: a tup of ice because that that looked weird. And

1994
01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:39,719
Speaker 1: Matt Rida is the guy that they traded for traded

1995
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,240
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick. They're paying him three million dollars

1996
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:46,719
Speaker 1: a year, and he has a history, and his history

1997
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 1: includes sixty yard runs, then seventy yard runs. Then sometimes

1998
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't look great, but then sometimes all

1999
01:49:54,640 --> 01:50:00,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden boom. But you know, I I

2000
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: suppose they figured Sunday wasn't the day for boom. How

2001
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:09,560
Speaker 1: much did the COVID offseason you think affect them in

2002
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 1: Week one? And do you think that they'll shake off

2003
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:15,320
Speaker 1: the rust or whatever it was that was holding them back?

2004
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'm asking you they have enough

2005
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:19,160
Speaker 1: raw talent on their roster to play much better than

2006
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:23,000
Speaker 1: they did last year when they finished pretty strong to

2007
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:26,920
Speaker 1: the end of the season. They would the upgrade and talent,

2008
01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:29,960
Speaker 1: is it being hindered by the lack of an off season,

2009
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:31,800
Speaker 1: And if it is, how fast do you think they

2010
01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 1: can get it together? Yeah? They on paper, they looked

2011
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:40,760
Speaker 1: to be decidedly much more talented than they were last year.

2012
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:44,400
Speaker 1: And remember, like you said, at the end of last year,

2013
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 1: they won five out of the last nine games, so

2014
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:51,800
Speaker 1: that suggested that there was going to be some carryover.

2015
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 1: But you know, they had the COVID thing. They've had,

2016
01:50:56,320 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 1: They've had forty nine percent turnover on the roster, and

2017
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 1: so this is a much different team. And obviously there

2018
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:08,879
Speaker 1: was no preseason, and I know there was no preseason

2019
01:51:08,960 --> 01:51:13,000
Speaker 1: for anyone else also, but the New England Patriots, they

2020
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:15,680
Speaker 1: look like they had a preseason. They looked like they

2021
01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: had three preseasons. So maybe Bill Belichick had something to

2022
01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 1: do with that. He I heard, I've been told he's

2023
01:51:25,360 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 1: pretty good at what he does. I don't know, so

2024
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:36,360
Speaker 1: that obviously had something that affected them. I expect that

2025
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 1: the talent will improve under you know, more experience, more coaching,

2026
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:49,120
Speaker 1: just more games. They need games, clearly, Armando, thanks as

2027
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:52,640
Speaker 1: always for your insight. We appreciate it. Enjoy watching the

2028
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 1: game down there. You're gonna be at the stadium, right,

2029
01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 1: I am gonna be at the stadium along with thirteen

2030
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 1: thousand of my closest friends who are going to attend.

2031
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:03,519
Speaker 1: That's right. You guys do get fans down there. Not

2032
01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:05,439
Speaker 1: the same up here in Buffalo, at least for now.

2033
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:07,920
Speaker 1: So enjoy the game on Sunday, and thank you as

2034
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:10,920
Speaker 1: always for the time, Sarah, my pleasure man. All right.

2035
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:13,600
Speaker 1: That was Radio dot Com inside Armando Salgaro, brought to

Speaker 1: Radio dot Com slash picks to sign up. Thanks to Armando,

2039
01:52:24,280 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: always a great gis. You can tell he's he's been

2040
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,760
Speaker 1: covering the Dolphins for a while. Yeah, but this is

2041
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 1: this Steve. This matchup could be an advantage for the

2042
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 1: Bills in terms of the continuity component that we've been

2043
01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:41,160
Speaker 1: talking about all offseason. You catch a team like this

2044
01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:44,240
Speaker 1: early in the season, before they've put all these new

2045
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:49,280
Speaker 1: pieces together to mesh and become one consistent, functional unit.

2046
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 1: You can get a win early in the season against

2047
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:53,800
Speaker 1: this team that's still trying to figure out how all

2048
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:56,920
Speaker 1: the pieces fit, no question, and that's what it's all about.

2049
01:52:57,000 --> 01:52:59,960
Speaker 1: Just who cares about the next meeting or what they're

2050
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:02,680
Speaker 1: gonna be playing like later. Just get this win if

2051
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 1: you can. If you're Sean McDermott, then they've been able

2052
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:07,599
Speaker 1: to in the last last year and certainly this year

2053
01:53:07,720 --> 01:53:11,600
Speaker 1: so far, beat the teams they're supposed to beat and

2054
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 1: no matter when that is in the season, and use

2055
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 1: it as a springboard to get better so that when

2056
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:20,920
Speaker 1: you play a better team or a team that's playing

2057
01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:25,320
Speaker 1: better than this one, you should beat them too, or

2058
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:27,400
Speaker 1: you give them a game and maybe steal a game

2059
01:53:27,479 --> 01:53:29,760
Speaker 1: from a team that is perceived to be better than you.

2060
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:32,360
Speaker 1: All of that's on the table for this team, and

2061
01:53:32,640 --> 01:53:35,040
Speaker 1: they were able to do that last year on their

2062
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 1: way to ten wins and what should have been eleven

2063
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:40,840
Speaker 1: if they the Jets game would have been needed in

2064
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, and they need to keep doing that this year.

2065
01:53:45,160 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 1: This is a there's no question, this is a team

2066
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:52,200
Speaker 1: that the Bills are better than. At least they are

2067
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:55,840
Speaker 1: here on the Wednesday before the game. That can that

2068
01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:57,720
Speaker 1: can always change, but this is this is going to

2069
01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:00,720
Speaker 1: be a game where the Bills are going to be

2070
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:04,000
Speaker 1: decided for and oard decided favorites, and they've they've got

2071
01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:06,320
Speaker 1: a play like that. Yeah. The John Brown thing, though,

2072
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:09,760
Speaker 1: is very interesting, not practicing today due to what's been

2073
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:12,599
Speaker 1: reported as a foot injury, so we'll see how he's

2074
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 1: officially listed on the injury report later this afternoon. That

2075
01:54:15,479 --> 01:54:19,640
Speaker 1: could change the dynamics of the Bills passing games significantly,

2076
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:22,519
Speaker 1: so we'll have to see how that progresses through the

2077
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:25,719
Speaker 1: course of the week. And then obviously the linebacker injuries

2078
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:29,080
Speaker 1: with Tremaine Edmonds and Tyrrell Dotson had read non contact

2079
01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:33,120
Speaker 1: Jersey's presumably going to be limited participants in practice today,

2080
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:36,240
Speaker 1: and then Matt Milano and del Shan Phillips two other

2081
01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:41,560
Speaker 1: linebackers not practicing today with hamstring and quad injuries respectively,

2082
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:45,120
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to see how that unfolds over

2083
01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 1: the course of the week too, because who you have

2084
01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 1: is right behind in level of importance with how you play,

2085
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 1: and sometimes who you have impacts how you play, so

2086
01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:59,200
Speaker 1: we'll have to see how that all shakes out as

2087
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 1: we move through the week here, because those are important

2088
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:05,880
Speaker 1: players for Buffalo's defense, and John Brown a gigantic component

2089
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:08,520
Speaker 1: of the Bills passing game. So we'll have to see

2090
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 1: how that all plays out. Steve and I are going

2091
01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:12,480
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but when we come back,

2092
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:15,240

Speaker 1: you made it to the semifinalist, Liz last year. We'll

2123
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:20,720
Speaker 1: see if that happened that I am yeah, yes, I

2124
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:23,600
Speaker 1: do remember that, which has also happened a few times

2125
01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:26,480
Speaker 1: before too. So we'll have to see where it goes.

2126
01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:28,960
Speaker 1: I know. Um, let me tell you, I've seen that.

2127
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 1: I've seen that movie before. I know where it goes. Well,

2128
01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:34,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's a double feature. There's a long train to nowhere.

2129
01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a double feature. Who knows. You could be

2130
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:39,600
Speaker 1: on the Polar Express for all we know. Get to

2131
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,400
Speaker 1: meet Santa at the end. Yea. But yeah, cool. And

2132
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,840
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. Are you trying to

2133
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 1: catch that fly that's been coming around here? It's some

2134
01:57:47,080 --> 01:57:49,160
Speaker 1: sort of other small flying insect. I don't know what

2135
01:57:49,280 --> 01:57:51,880
Speaker 1: it is, but I'm telling you it is aggressive because

2136
01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 1: it has crossed my line of sight in very close

2137
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 1: proximity probably six or seven times here. And I am

2138
01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:01,160
Speaker 1: I am not the grasshop with the chopsticks ready to

2139
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:03,680
Speaker 1: catch the thing in my chopsticks like mister Miyagi did

2140
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:06,920
Speaker 1: in Karate Kid or whatever. Pay your respects because this

2141
01:58:07,200 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna die, okay before the days. Well, I'll count

2142
01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 1: on you to handle that. Um. Do you think any

2143
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:15,360
Speaker 1: of these former bills, like, is there anyone on this

2144
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:17,120
Speaker 1: list that you think? Who? Would you say? I think

2145
01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:19,200
Speaker 1: Ruben's got the best shot at I think Ruben's got

2146
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 1: and Cornelius Bennett should have been in already. Um, it

2147
01:58:26,360 --> 01:58:30,440
Speaker 1: was a fantastic player. So I think those two are

2148
01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:34,240
Speaker 1: probably the one London Fletcher, who, as I've always said,

2149
01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 1: if you put leave that up to the players, guys

2150
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,919
Speaker 1: like London Fletcher get in. Because you don't play sixteen

2151
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:44,600
Speaker 1: years at five ten middle linebackers and basically missed two

2152
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:48,240
Speaker 1: games in your entire career. That's that's stupid. That's rubber

2153
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:51,440
Speaker 1: stamp hall of that's stupid. That's comparable to Frank or

2154
01:58:51,480 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't you say? Yes, Guys like that are very highly

2155
01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:59,080
Speaker 1: respected in the in the ranks of the players, both former,

2156
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:07,240
Speaker 1: current and future. Longevity is the is the deciding factor

2157
01:59:07,320 --> 01:59:09,320
Speaker 1: for a lot of guys, and playing for as long

2158
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:11,560
Speaker 1: as he did along with those other guys you mentioned

2159
01:59:11,720 --> 01:59:16,040
Speaker 1: that is that is an enormous, downright impressive Yeah, no

2160
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:18,960
Speaker 1: question about it. So we wanted to check back in

2161
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:23,720
Speaker 1: on the voting with regards to the tweet sheet as

2162
01:59:23,800 --> 01:59:26,600
Speaker 1: we were asking you what matchup you were most looking

2163
01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 1: forward to in this game between the Dolphins and the

2164
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: Bills on Sunday down in Miami, and the runaway winner

2165
01:59:34,680 --> 01:59:38,560
Speaker 1: at least for most of the day, has been Buffalo's

2166
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:42,680
Speaker 1: passing game against this Dolphins secondary, which is interesting too, Steve,

2167
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:44,960
Speaker 1: because the dollar it looks like the Dolphins are trying

2168
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:46,760
Speaker 1: to build the defense similar to the way the Bills

2169
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 1: did from back to front, especially with the investments they

2170
01:59:50,480 --> 01:59:53,240
Speaker 1: have made in the secondary, which is in stark contrast

2171
01:59:53,320 --> 01:59:55,240
Speaker 1: to the way the Bills built it. They paid for

2172
01:59:55,280 --> 01:59:59,880
Speaker 1: two safeties and it was middle tier money that they

2173
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 1: paid for two safeties in Jordan Poyor and Micah Hyde.

2174
02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:05,640
Speaker 1: And the Dolphins have flipped the script on that. They

2175
02:00:05,720 --> 02:00:09,760
Speaker 1: have gone and paid top money for two corners. I mean,

2176
02:00:09,840 --> 02:00:12,480
Speaker 1: you heard Armando say, it's Steve. They're not just paying

2177
02:00:13,200 --> 02:00:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, top fifteen money for one guy, in top

2178
02:00:15,680 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 1: five money for the other. One guy is the third

2179
02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:19,400
Speaker 1: eyes paid corner in the league and the other guys

2180
02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:22,280
Speaker 1: the fifth eyes paid corner in the league. You're gonna

2181
02:00:22,280 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 1: get You're gonna get sideways on your cap. You're handing

2182
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:28,560
Speaker 1: out money. Like. Think about this though, as well. If

2183
02:00:28,600 --> 02:00:30,640
Speaker 1: the Bills could be one of the teams, or maybe

2184
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:32,600
Speaker 1: more than one of the teams, they go in there

2185
02:00:32,600 --> 02:00:38,040
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen lights them up, I mean, you could

2186
02:00:38,160 --> 02:00:42,320
Speaker 1: force that franchise to reset again. You know what I'm saying.

2187
02:00:43,320 --> 02:00:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean you could really cripple a franchise when they

2188
02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:47,760
Speaker 1: decided to go, Hey, you guys messed it up. Those

2189
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:49,839
Speaker 1: two guys can't play. You got this team in Buffalo,

2190
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:51,960
Speaker 1: you got this team in and you got the team

2191
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:54,200
Speaker 1: in New Wing. You can't compete in the division. You're out.

2192
02:00:54,880 --> 02:00:59,040
Speaker 1: You know you could. That's the kind of you know reset,

2193
02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:03,960
Speaker 1: And that's why it happens when when you invest, it

2194
02:01:04,120 --> 02:01:07,800
Speaker 1: better pay off, and it's got to pay off inside

2195
02:01:07,840 --> 02:01:10,920
Speaker 1: your division first and foremost. So if the Dolphins can't

2196
02:01:10,920 --> 02:01:13,480
Speaker 1: stop the run one week against the Patriots and then

2197
02:01:13,600 --> 02:01:15,920
Speaker 1: can't stop the pass when that's what they've invested into

2198
02:01:15,960 --> 02:01:19,840
Speaker 1: stopping against the Buffalo Bills, Yeah, that's that's an issue

2199
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:23,280
Speaker 1: for them, no question about it. I just I don't

2200
02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:24,800
Speaker 1: know if that's the way to go about doing it,

2201
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 1: paying top dollar for two corners. They're trying to draft safeties.

2202
02:01:30,760 --> 02:01:34,360
Speaker 1: They drafted Brandon Jones, who interestingly enough, practically played like

2203
02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:36,880
Speaker 1: a third linebacker last week for them. Didn't they draft

2204
02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:39,760
Speaker 1: this guy named Minka f It's Patrick to them, Yeah,

2205
02:01:40,080 --> 02:01:42,920
Speaker 1: trading him away. Traded him away and now he's on

2206
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:45,600
Speaker 1: the right. Brandon Jones, I think it was a third

2207
02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:47,360
Speaker 1: or a fourth round pick for them this past year,

2208
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:53,200
Speaker 1: after they drafted Igbanagny to play in the slot, they

2209
02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:56,600
Speaker 1: used Jones almost as a third linebacker in their nickel package,

2210
02:01:57,280 --> 02:01:59,600
Speaker 1: so he was kind of a hybrid player. Yeah, and

2211
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:01,760
Speaker 1: we're seeing more of that in the league this year.

2212
02:02:01,920 --> 02:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Let me throw this by you and you tell me

2213
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 1: what you think. Let's just say we get to Sunday.

2214
02:02:08,840 --> 02:02:12,360
Speaker 1: Matt Milano's out of the equation. Del Sean Phillips is

2215
02:02:12,360 --> 02:02:17,160
Speaker 1: out of the equation, and one of the two Tremaine

2216
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:19,640
Speaker 1: Edmonds and or Tyrell Dotson is out of the equation.

2217
02:02:20,560 --> 02:02:24,560
Speaker 1: So you think it's in the realm of possibility that

2218
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:29,560
Speaker 1: you could see in a nickel look, Tremaine Edmonds and

2219
02:02:29,680 --> 02:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Saran Neil, do you think that line possible? An, Do

2220
02:02:34,120 --> 02:02:38,880
Speaker 1: you think that's possible? Absolutely? Yeah. They'll try anything. They

2221
02:02:38,960 --> 02:02:42,000
Speaker 1: gotta go with what they got. I mean, that's if

2222
02:02:42,280 --> 02:02:45,440
Speaker 1: I think that's something they might consider if they get

2223
02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:48,720
Speaker 1: that shorthanded, because it could be a wrinkle that they

2224
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:52,240
Speaker 1: put in because they don't like Metakevich in coverage and

2225
02:02:52,360 --> 02:02:56,040
Speaker 1: coverage and they're not and it would only be in

2226
02:02:56,200 --> 02:02:59,680
Speaker 1: situations where it's long yardage where if they're gonna if

2227
02:02:59,720 --> 02:03:03,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna run it, you got a chance to rally

2228
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:07,600
Speaker 1: before they get the first down. So yeah, absolutely they'll try,

2229
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, and it's a creative way to do it.

2230
02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, you throw You could throw six dv dbs

2231
02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:18,360
Speaker 1: on the field with Tremaine Edmonds, Okay, but you know,

2232
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 1: they got to be the right guys and and he

2233
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:22,600
Speaker 1: may it may work that way, it may work. It

2234
02:03:22,640 --> 02:03:24,680
Speaker 1: could be another guy like a Dean marlow as well,

2235
02:03:24,760 --> 02:03:26,680
Speaker 1: or somebody could. And Marlowe is a guy that they

2236
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 1: rotated in with Tarn Johnson when it was eleven personnel

2237
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:34,760
Speaker 1: by the Jets, Arn Johnson was on the field. When

2238
02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:39,200
Speaker 1: they went twelve personnel or twenty one personnel, they had

2239
02:03:39,240 --> 02:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Dean marlow on the field, so they had him out

2240
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:43,320
Speaker 1: there for the heavier sets right to have a little

2241
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:45,760
Speaker 1: more force in the run game, which they did a

2242
02:03:45,800 --> 02:03:48,720
Speaker 1: little bit last year with both Dean Marlowe and Sirran

2243
02:03:48,840 --> 02:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Neil when Tarn Johnson was injured. But even now when

2244
02:03:52,280 --> 02:03:55,400
Speaker 1: he's healthy, they were mixing in Dean Marlowe. I wouldn't

2245
02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:58,400
Speaker 1: put it past the Bills to consider Sirrand Neil if

2246
02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 1: they get supremely shorthanded a line back or due to

2247
02:04:00,640 --> 02:04:03,400
Speaker 1: injury this week. I think it's a possible deity. Yeah,

2248
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:05,480
Speaker 1: and if you're if you can't remember, he's six foot

2249
02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:09,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and six pounds, so he's not nothing. But

2250
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, a guy like that, and I remember this

2251
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:15,520
Speaker 1: too from being a small guy who played. If you're

2252
02:04:15,560 --> 02:04:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a guy out there who you're gonna go

2253
02:04:18,080 --> 02:04:22,400
Speaker 1: tackle somebody, he gotta get him early so you can

2254
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:24,560
Speaker 1: look for if that. If that happens, they're gonna they're

2255
02:04:24,560 --> 02:04:27,720
Speaker 1: gonna snug him up. If they want him to help

2256
02:04:27,760 --> 02:04:29,960
Speaker 1: in the run game. They'll start him close and then

2257
02:04:30,040 --> 02:04:32,200
Speaker 1: back him out for coverage. You know what I'm saying.

2258
02:04:32,280 --> 02:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean they'll they'll throw him up in the box

2259
02:04:34,520 --> 02:04:37,080
Speaker 1: because you gotta get him in there, and he's got

2260
02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:38,960
Speaker 1: to catch him before they get going. I think. I

2261
02:04:39,040 --> 02:04:42,040
Speaker 1: mean particularly, you know, I don't know what it's done.

2262
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:44,360
Speaker 1: It's unconvened do it. They may do it the backwards

2263
02:04:44,400 --> 02:04:45,680
Speaker 1: of that, they may do it the opposite of that.

2264
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:51,240
Speaker 1: What do I know? But the point is necessity is, Yeah,

2265
02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:54,280
Speaker 1: he's he's not gonna sleep on Saturday night. You know.

2266
02:04:54,280 --> 02:04:56,840
Speaker 1: If he's gonna be that guy, he's gonna say, Well,

2267
02:04:56,840 --> 02:04:59,440
Speaker 1: although he did play a bunch of positions at Jacksonville State,

2268
02:04:59,480 --> 02:05:01,520
Speaker 1: and I know that's at the NFL, but he played linebacker,

2269
02:05:01,640 --> 02:05:03,760
Speaker 1: corner in safety there. I got it, I mean, I

2270
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:07,440
Speaker 1: got it. He's not gonna shy away from it, but

2271
02:05:07,560 --> 02:05:09,960
Speaker 1: he'll be in a nice bath after that one, right,

2272
02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:14,000
Speaker 1: because if you're the Dolphins, they're gonna see that after

2273
02:05:14,120 --> 02:05:17,680
Speaker 1: one play, and they're gonna say, wait a minute, run

2274
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:20,480
Speaker 1: that back. Let's get out there and that again. And

2275
02:05:20,560 --> 02:05:22,480
Speaker 1: now we're gonna run this play right at that guy,

2276
02:05:23,040 --> 02:05:27,520
Speaker 1: right so he'll know it's common. All right, Steve, it

2277
02:05:27,720 --> 02:05:32,720
Speaker 1: is time for our favorite either or it's NFL true false.

2278
02:05:33,160 --> 02:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Yancy's Fancy Yancey's Fancy New York's

2279
02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:39,840
Speaker 1: Artists and Cheese. And we lead off with a Week

2280
02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:44,640
Speaker 1: one performance by one DeAndre Hopkins. Ten catches, one hundred

2281
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 1: and fifty one yards. I think he had a touchdown

2282
02:05:47,320 --> 02:05:51,960
Speaker 1: as well. DeAndre hopkins performance was best in the Newcomer

2283
02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:59,120
Speaker 1: debut category. True, I might have to say true to that.

2284
02:06:00,080 --> 02:06:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a guy who was better.

2285
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:07,200
Speaker 1: And who am I missing? Brady had a crummy week? Yeah,

2286
02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:10,760
Speaker 1: who else was in a new place? Steph Diggs is

2287
02:06:10,800 --> 02:06:15,280
Speaker 1: pretty good, but he didn't have that kind of day. Yeah,

2288
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean I vote, I'd say, yeah, that's hard to

2289
02:06:18,120 --> 02:06:19,880
Speaker 1: argue with it, even and even if you go across

2290
02:06:19,920 --> 02:06:24,240
Speaker 1: the boardom they won on the road division rival against

2291
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:26,560
Speaker 1: the team that won the NFC championship game. He came

2292
02:06:26,600 --> 02:06:31,120
Speaker 1: in and was the difference. So I would say yes,

2293
02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:33,960
Speaker 1: I would say yes, yeah, I would tend to say

2294
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:37,080
Speaker 1: true too it you know what was most interesting to me. So,

2295
02:06:37,400 --> 02:06:41,920
Speaker 1: Hopkins and Diggs are probably the two biggest receiver newcomers

2296
02:06:41,960 --> 02:06:44,840
Speaker 1: to their respective teams across the league, and they were

2297
02:06:44,920 --> 02:06:49,200
Speaker 1: both used in very similar fashion, short to intermediate passes.

2298
02:06:50,840 --> 02:06:54,080
Speaker 1: I think Hopkins average like nine point eight yards of reception.

2299
02:06:54,240 --> 02:06:57,240
Speaker 1: Diggs was around eight or nine yards of reception. It

2300
02:06:57,360 --> 02:06:59,160
Speaker 1: was a lot of the short to intermediate stuff. With

2301
02:06:59,240 --> 02:07:02,560
Speaker 1: their young quarter backs. They were used very similarly in

2302
02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:05,040
Speaker 1: Week one. Be interesting to see if that changes or

2303
02:07:05,080 --> 02:07:07,000
Speaker 1: if it keeps going that route. I doubt it will

2304
02:07:07,040 --> 02:07:09,320
Speaker 1: stay the same, little morphin change over the course of

2305
02:07:09,360 --> 02:07:11,600
Speaker 1: the season, but I did find it interesting that at

2306
02:07:11,640 --> 02:07:15,160
Speaker 1: least in Week one, the way they were utilized kind

2307
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:21,480
Speaker 1: of mirrored each other. Yeah, fourteen catches, that's a big day. Yeah,

2308
02:07:21,560 --> 02:07:23,080
Speaker 1: a big by any state. But it was only for

2309
02:07:23,120 --> 02:07:24,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards. I mean, it's a lot

2310
02:07:24,840 --> 02:07:27,160
Speaker 1: of short intermediate stuff. It was very interesting he had

2311
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:30,160
Speaker 1: along with thirty three. But yeah, and Larry Fitzgerald had

2312
02:07:30,200 --> 02:07:35,520
Speaker 1: four catches. The Larry Fitzgerald, So hops is he's the

2313
02:07:35,600 --> 02:07:37,800
Speaker 1: guy now over there, There's no question about it. And

2314
02:07:38,280 --> 02:07:41,840
Speaker 1: he showed up in a huge way. He had one

2315
02:07:41,960 --> 02:07:43,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one yards of the two hundred and

2316
02:07:43,960 --> 02:07:47,840
Speaker 1: thirty they had on the day passing. Yeah, so yeah,

2317
02:07:48,120 --> 02:07:49,880
Speaker 1: I have to say yes, I'd say true to that

2318
02:07:50,280 --> 02:07:52,920
Speaker 1: that he is the he gets the award for the

2319
02:07:53,240 --> 02:07:56,120
Speaker 1: best newcomer in the league. Okay, all who else is

2320
02:07:56,200 --> 02:07:59,160
Speaker 1: up for that? I don't know. I didn't really take

2321
02:07:59,640 --> 02:08:04,480
Speaker 1: a page look at the other candidates there. Um, you

2322
02:08:04,560 --> 02:08:07,680
Speaker 1: know you're you're talking about you're talking about rookies. You know.

2323
02:08:07,840 --> 02:08:10,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had to step up after Marlon Mack went

2324
02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:13,000
Speaker 1: down with the achilles injury and had a pretty well

2325
02:08:13,200 --> 02:08:15,440
Speaker 1: nice day. But he didn't blow the cover off and

2326
02:08:15,520 --> 02:08:17,800
Speaker 1: he had like three catches for fifty five yards. Um,

2327
02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: you had uh JK. Dobbins I think had a couple

2328
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:23,600
Speaker 1: of touchdowns for Baltimore and the blowout over Cleveland, the

2329
02:08:23,640 --> 02:08:26,880
Speaker 1: new running even the quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. No, not in Carolina.

2330
02:08:27,280 --> 02:08:33,360
Speaker 1: You know Cam Newton. You could make a case for newcomer, sure,

2331
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:37,440
Speaker 1: but instead we'll move on to NFL true false number two.

2332
02:08:37,560 --> 02:08:41,120
Speaker 1: Let's do that because I like Stephen Guskowski's game winning

2333
02:08:41,200 --> 02:08:45,200
Speaker 1: kick for the Titans was the biggest chew moment of

2334
02:08:45,400 --> 02:08:49,440
Speaker 1: Week one. Now, for those that did not see that game,

2335
02:08:49,760 --> 02:08:52,360
Speaker 1: the late game on Monday night, he missed three field

2336
02:08:52,440 --> 02:08:54,960
Speaker 1: goals in an extra point before kicking the game winner

2337
02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:57,120
Speaker 1: with twenty five seconds left from I think twenty five

2338
02:08:57,160 --> 02:09:01,080
Speaker 1: yards away. Um, thirty six year old kicker who was

2339
02:09:01,680 --> 02:09:05,120
Speaker 1: in semi retirement on his couch in Memphis, and then

2340
02:09:06,120 --> 02:09:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Vrabel gave him a call and said, hey,

2341
02:09:07,880 --> 02:09:09,400
Speaker 1: you want to come in and try out for kicker.

2342
02:09:09,800 --> 02:09:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly over the moon about the guys. I

2343
02:09:11,960 --> 02:09:15,600
Speaker 1: got here right now and then almost paid for it

2344
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:20,920
Speaker 1: with a loss um And they had a debacle last

2345
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:23,920
Speaker 1: year with Cairo Santos against the Bills, and I would say, yeah,

2346
02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:25,600
Speaker 1: it might be the biggest who. I don't know if

2347
02:09:25,680 --> 02:09:28,360
Speaker 1: any of them who moments, but that was a big one,

2348
02:09:28,440 --> 02:09:32,760
Speaker 1: no question. How much do you think the fans were gripping? Yeah,

2349
02:09:32,960 --> 02:09:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, because of what had happened prior

2350
02:09:36,200 --> 02:09:39,040
Speaker 1: in that very game, I am going to say, I'm

2351
02:09:39,080 --> 02:09:41,960
Speaker 1: gonna say false. Okay, okay, if you've got to, you've

2352
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:44,760
Speaker 1: got another candidate. Yeah, I'm gonna say falls. I'm going

2353
02:09:44,880 --> 02:09:48,560
Speaker 1: with the Chargers with Randy Bullock who cramps up as

2354
02:09:48,600 --> 02:09:51,320
Speaker 1: he's about to kick the game winning field goal and

2355
02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:55,400
Speaker 1: stoints it into the seats. It was like an opposite

2356
02:09:55,440 --> 02:09:59,840
Speaker 1: field home or to right center. Chargers are all over

2357
02:09:59,880 --> 02:10:01,480
Speaker 1: the They're on the bench going, oh my god, we're

2358
02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:04,080
Speaker 1: gonna lose to this team in week one. We're gonna

2359
02:10:04,120 --> 02:10:07,320
Speaker 1: lose to the That was just to tie it up, though, right,

2360
02:10:07,400 --> 02:10:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean no, I think it would have been a

2361
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:12,320
Speaker 1: winner sixteen thirteen game ended up? Was it? Okay? Well,

2362
02:10:12,400 --> 02:10:15,320
Speaker 1: in any event, I still think it's the Chargers going,

2363
02:10:15,440 --> 02:10:18,720
Speaker 1: who got that a since with that one? Thank you

2364
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:22,640
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock and you're cramping casts Oh my god, bless you. Yeah,

2365
02:10:22,680 --> 02:10:24,200
Speaker 1: that was just a chance to tie it up. Now,

2366
02:10:24,760 --> 02:10:26,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow did get him down there, and it was

2367
02:10:26,880 --> 02:10:28,920
Speaker 1: not a long field goal, right, you did see you

2368
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:31,240
Speaker 1: did see Joe Burrow's face after the mess. Right, that's

2369
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:34,360
Speaker 1: a meme. It's a thirty yard field. It was priceless.

2370
02:10:34,440 --> 02:10:37,400
Speaker 1: It was not close because he's sitting there going I

2371
02:10:37,560 --> 02:10:39,840
Speaker 1: want to bomb the heck out of our nicker right now,

2372
02:10:39,920 --> 02:10:45,360
Speaker 1: and and the there we go that about says it. All. Okay,

2373
02:10:45,440 --> 02:10:48,760
Speaker 1: So I know a guy at LSU that probably could

2374
02:10:48,800 --> 02:10:52,760
Speaker 1: have made that kick. That and look at the body

2375
02:10:52,840 --> 02:10:57,840
Speaker 1: language of the of the I'm cramping. I'm cramping. Look

2376
02:10:57,880 --> 02:11:00,360
Speaker 1: at the body language of the Bengals as they watch that.

2377
02:11:00,400 --> 02:11:02,680
Speaker 1: The guys who are protecting this the kick goes up,

2378
02:11:02,680 --> 02:11:05,640
Speaker 1: they're ready to like and oh my gosh, it's priceless

2379
02:11:05,880 --> 02:11:08,480
Speaker 1: that for the Chargers talk about letting the air out

2380
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:12,000
Speaker 1: of the balloon. So I'm saying false. I'm going with

2381
02:11:12,080 --> 02:11:16,040
Speaker 1: that one. You're are you saying true on Gastowski? I'd

2382
02:11:16,080 --> 02:11:19,480
Speaker 1: say yes, okay because for the yeah, it is pretty powerful,

2383
02:11:19,600 --> 02:11:22,960
Speaker 1: knowing he had missed three and an extra point prior

2384
02:11:23,040 --> 02:11:25,480
Speaker 1: to that kid. All right, that's NFL true false, brought

2385
02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:27,720
Speaker 1: to you by Yancy's, Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese.

2386
02:11:27,760 --> 02:11:31,040
Speaker 1: We will take a break and return with what have

2387
02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:34,520
Speaker 1: we learned from today's program coming your way next one

2388
02:11:34,560 --> 02:11:36,640
Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo

2389
02:11:36,680 --> 02:11:55,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio John for what have we learned from today's show?

2390
02:11:55,160 --> 02:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Brought to you as always by Skyworks, the official construction

2391
02:11:58,480 --> 02:12:01,760
Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. And in the

2392
02:12:01,800 --> 02:12:05,200
Speaker 1: one o'clock hour the program, we had ESPN NFL analyst

2393
02:12:05,280 --> 02:12:08,720
Speaker 1: dan Or Labsky on with us and he talked about

2394
02:12:09,040 --> 02:12:13,640
Speaker 1: the development of Josh Allen's game now in year three,

2395
02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:18,800
Speaker 1: then really getting a feel of what Josh is as

2396
02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:20,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback and who Josh is as a quarterback. I

2397
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:23,920
Speaker 1: think kind of the way I've started to realize quarterback

2398
02:12:23,960 --> 02:12:26,200
Speaker 1: player in the way I try to educate or communicate

2399
02:12:26,240 --> 02:12:29,320
Speaker 1: it to people. As some guys are thinkers and some

2400
02:12:29,480 --> 02:12:32,600
Speaker 1: guys are reactors. You can win with both and you

2401
02:12:32,640 --> 02:12:35,400
Speaker 1: can be great with both. And Josh he's kind of

2402
02:12:35,520 --> 02:12:37,960
Speaker 1: started to show himself as one of those reacting type

2403
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:41,400
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. That's not a knocked on intellect. It's just

2404
02:12:41,560 --> 02:12:44,960
Speaker 1: what his strength is. It's playing reactionary football. And so

2405
02:12:45,600 --> 02:12:48,160
Speaker 1: day Ball has really done a good job. And I

2406
02:12:48,240 --> 02:12:52,200
Speaker 1: think Ken Dorsey as well as going okay, I've got

2407
02:12:52,280 --> 02:12:55,760
Speaker 1: this quarterback, and he struggles with this stuff, right, so

2408
02:12:56,360 --> 02:12:59,800
Speaker 1: why might continue to ask him to do those things?

2409
02:13:02,040 --> 02:13:04,280
Speaker 1: So Dan Orlovsky breaking it down for us, as he

2410
02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:06,080
Speaker 1: always does when he's on the show with us, also

2411
02:13:06,160 --> 02:13:08,720
Speaker 1: had Armando Salguero. Thanks to him for bringing us up

2412
02:13:08,760 --> 02:13:12,040
Speaker 1: to speed on the Dolphins and what to expect from them.

2413
02:13:12,120 --> 02:13:14,120
Speaker 1: He's not overly impressed with what they're putting on the

2414
02:13:14,160 --> 02:13:15,880
Speaker 1: field here in the early going, or at least he

2415
02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:19,560
Speaker 1: doesn't think it's meshing together right now. So we'll have

2416
02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:21,360
Speaker 1: to see if it's any better in week two. I'm

2417
02:13:21,400 --> 02:13:23,960
Speaker 1: still hopefully not. I'm still convinced that Dolphins are going

2418
02:13:24,040 --> 02:13:26,280
Speaker 1: to be pretty good, and it's this lack of preseason
