1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Oh, good time. I'll watch Steve Glassberg bas Domes dost time.

2
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: That's how we get started every day, one Bills, I

3
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Welcome to Orchard Park. A cloudy, cool,

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: November like day here in Archard Park, and it's November.

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: It should be like that. If you're watching on the

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: MSG feet you see a look of you see the

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: look at vacant new era field, beautiful field getting set

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: for a home game here this week on the other

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: side of where we are, the number one practice field,

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: the grass practice field. Buffalo Bills at work as we speak,

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: getting practice start of the Wednesday practice, getting set for

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: this week's game home against the Denver Broncos on Sunday

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: at one o'clock. Good afternoon, and God bless you, Steve

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Tansk you. I just need to get one last sneeze.

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: Is not going to be anything to sneeze at door

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Brownie at practice to day. It is always fun night.

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: And I would just as we sat down here, like

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, we should start. We should just kind of

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: roll up into some statistics about how where the team

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: stands right now and how they were And I don't

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: know if I'm ready for that. Oh they're the number

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: eighth overall offense in the in their conference, in the AFC,

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: and they're behind. Yeah, they're right in the middle offensively,

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: not defensively, of course, they're they're high up, they're problem

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: they're number two overall and all that stuff. You know,

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: they're they're good. Uh so they're that's it. But you

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: know you're thinking. I was thinking about this, and this

28
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: is the truth now. I remember back Murph, we said,

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: if we can keep the defense at a top five defense,

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: and if we can, guess just get our offense at

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of the pack, we're gonna

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: be a much better football team. We were right. There

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: aren't much better team than where there's still twentieth overall

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: in the league offensively, so you'd like to see him better.

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: But I think you know they are getting better. I mean,

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: if you know this last week against the Dolphins, Okay,

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: it's an improvement, but you got to improve against those guys, right,

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: But still it's right where we thought we wanted to

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: be in the in the in the off season, you

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: want to keep your defense where it was in a

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: top five like they were last year. And in fact,

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: they've probably gotten a little better this season statistically anyway.

43
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: And their offense is markedly better, I mean a lot

44
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: better and as much as much as we you know,

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: Harbor Boat. Wow, they got to screw on. We're on

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: all the ants and hand ring we do about our offense.

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: We're way better than we were a year ago. And

48
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: now instead of being on a path to six and

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: ten like we were a year ago, we're seven and

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: three and people are penciling us in for you know,

51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: the first wildcard spot. It's exactly where we kind of

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: envisioned ourselves like nine months ago. Kind of yeah, I

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: mean we talked different season predictions. I figured ten wins,

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: you figured the eleven plus, and they're they're on that pace.

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: It kind of takes us right to our Twitter poll

56
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: today too. As a matter of fact, you know what's

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: left on the bill schedule. It's it went from being

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: one of the easiest in the league to one of

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: the more difficult in the league now because you know,

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: you played the Dolphins, you played the Browns and their

61
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: bad records. Now you got six games left. You got

62
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: a couple of really good teams right in the six

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: more comes Baltimore and New England in particular, a really

64
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: good teams left on the schedule. At Dallas won't be easy,

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh won't be easy, and of course Denver this week.

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: So here you go. You know what the schedule is.

67
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: They have the third most difficult remaining schedule in the league.

68
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Six games left? How many more wins d see? How

69
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: many more wins do you see out of those six?

70
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: That's our Twitter poll. We'll take your comments on it.

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty toll free one eight

72
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. You can send

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: it a tweet. We'll read them on the tweet sheet.

Speaker 1: You can vote in the Twitter Pole. We've already got

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: two hundred thirty five votes in the Twitter Pole. Third

76
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: most difficult schedule remaining final six games for the Bills.

77
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: How many more wins do you see? Zero or one?

78
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: You think they're gonna be a seven or eight win team,

79
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: which would be improvement over last year? Only five percent

80
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: of you say you see that two or three wins.

81
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Do you see a nine or ten win team? Seventy

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: eight percent of you say that's where they're at. That's

83
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: where I'm at, That's where I was preseason, That's where

84
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: I remained it's gonna they're gonna win ten games. I

85
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: believe four or more wins. They get to eleven or

86
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: more wins. Seventeen percent of you see that for the

87
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Let us know. The Twitter poll is up.

88
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: You can vote in that. You can give us a

89
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: call eight oh three five fifty toll free one eight

90
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Look, I don't

91
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: think you're saying this. I don't believe we had this

92
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: season wired. We knew how it would go. But you

93
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of took a look at the bill schedule, you

94
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: took a look at what the roster was like, and

95
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: we knew after two years what Sean McDermott's leadership style

96
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: would be. And yeah, I think it was realistic to

97
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: expect ten or eleven teams when when the Las Vegas folks,

98
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: the white guys very usually pretty good, what were they

99
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: saying six and a half seven wins? Six point five?

100
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: That just didn't seem right for this group. You know,

101
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: it didn't seem right. It seemed low. It turns out

102
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: it was low. They're going to be better than that,

103
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: and we're never gonna be Brent Musburger here, right, I

104
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: mean I'll call it, you know, like I had the

105
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: over run. I'm not a gambler, but I do know this.

106
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: When they set those they're trying to take the temperature

107
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: not of the team, but of the people's perception of

108
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: the team and what people will bet. So it's not

109
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: really about the game or the team or the situation

110
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: that as it may be in reality. Here in Buffalo,

111
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: it was about what they think the national persona is.

112
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: They're taking bets from everywhere, so that's where they're they

113
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: were at. And you know, people here in Buffalo, you

114
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: and me, I mean, you know, we're we don't gamble,

115
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: and we're not even allowed to gamble, right so because

116
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: we're NFL employees and all that stuff that goes with it.

117
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean I would have, seriously, I

118
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: would have plunked the farm down on it better than six.

119
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't beg gay, I would never

120
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: have done it, But if I was going to, that's

121
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: what I would have done. Yeah, that's the best I knew.

122
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: It was low and there the schedule folded out, you know,

123
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: pretty well for the Bills, no question about it. They

124
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: took advantage of that schedule this last week and hung

125
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: thirty seven points on the Dolphins. Their defense continues to

126
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: play really stout, and I think now that we've kind

127
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: of got an identity for this team, the kind of

128
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: know where you're looking at, you can kind of project forward. Okay,

129
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: let's go, there's gonna I don't think any of those

130
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: teams now, certainly they'll say, hey, they haven't played anybody

131
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: or whatever they have, but they're gonna see things in Buffalo.

132
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna give them pause. They're gonna they're gonna take

133
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: a you know, they're gonna stand there and look at

134
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: that tape and they're gonna go, yeah, we better have

135
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: an answer. Yeah, you know, because the Bills are not

136
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: easy to beat, and I think we're gonna see that

137
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: down the stretch here. It's gonna be a lot of

138
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: fun these last six weeks. Which of Buffalo's opponents this

139
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: year could say that the Bills out they were easy

140
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: to beat? Right, They've only lost three times. New England

141
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: beat him by six, Philadelphia beat him by eighteen. Okay,

142
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: maybe they have something to say. They're Cleveland beat them

143
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: by three. I guess you could argue Philadelphia might be

144
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: the one team that could say that Buffalo didn't give

145
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: us much trouble. I think the Bills have grown significantly

146
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: since October twenty seventh in the game against Philadelphia, believe

147
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: it or not, and I a better team now on

148
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: offense especially. I think that was a kind of we

149
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: we've seen it. It's a week to week league. The

150
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Bills have been, I think, extremely consistent throughout the season.

151
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: The Eagles have been a little up and down, and

152
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: we caught them on and up, no question about it.

153
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: The Bills have weathered some some weeks where we got

154
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: teams on an up. I think, for what it's worth,

155
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals gave him a swing when they

156
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: thought they were up. The Dolphins in the first go

157
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: round gave the Bills a good hard swing and thought

158
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: they could take them out. The Bills, however, and you know,

159
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: notwithstanding this last week have been the team we've seen.

160
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: They struggle to score points, but they're in this last

161
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: five weeks since Week five. They don't give anything away.

162
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen hasn't turned it over. The Bills don't turn

163
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: it over. They run it, they balance it, they do

164
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: it different. They kind of try and do some different

165
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: things every week to keep you guessing as a defense,

166
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes they get it done and sometimes they don't.

167
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: More often than not, they get it done more than

168
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: your offense is able to get it done against the

169
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: Bills defense. So they're winning games. They're you know, they're

170
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: seven and three. That's the way this game has gone.

171
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: And you know who this team's gonna be. You know

172
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get when you play the Bills, and

173
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: you know you're not gonna run off and leave them.

174
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be in this and it's it's

175
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun these last six weeks of the

176
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: regular season to see which of these teams on our

177
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: schedule are gonna how their week to week is gonna look.

178
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: It's great yesterday and I don't I won't repeat it,

179
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: but man, you'd be here late in November and have

180
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: six games left, all meaningful, uh, with the playoff hopes

181
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: alive but certainly not guaranteed, with when jan need to

182
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: get including this Sunday. It really is a perfect sweet

183
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: spot for Bills fans and having it and having a

184
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: team is you're kind of proud of and been fun

185
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: to watch, you know, And I get it. We don't

186
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: like to see you know, a Chiefs like, we don't

187
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: like our team to be thirty five point scoring offense everyone,

188
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: And that's fun to watch when your team scoring a

189
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: lot of offense and stuff. But but they're winning, and

190
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: that's just ind They got a better They got a

191
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: better record than the Chiefs, you know, I mean, that's

192
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: the amazing part if you look at it, if you

193
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: thought where we were, you know, nine months ago, and

194
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: where this team was kind of starting to formulate and

195
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: free agency hit, and they brought all these guys in

196
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: the offensive line we got, you know, all these new

197
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: guys we didn't know. It's pretty fun. And this is

198
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: a team that's really cool to cheer for. And I'm like,

199
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: Hugh Murph, you get about this point in the week Wednesday,

200
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: and for sure tomorrow they're like, man, I gotta start

201
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: lining myself up for the weekend. I can't wait to

202
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: see these guys play. It's it's really it has been

203
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: a lot of fun this season to watch this team

204
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: take shape and and really battle in some of these

205
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: games would come out on top. I said that to

206
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: Steve about eleven thirty this morning. I said, you know,

207
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: and you know, I watched Denver video last night see

208
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: what I saw and get thinking about the game. And

209
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: I woke up today thinking, man, I can't wait till Sunday.

210
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see how this Bill's team, as

211
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: Steve has pointed out, fairly consistent, getting better in some areas,

212
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: patching up problems. They've solved some problems this year, right

213
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: Turnovers were a problem, not anymore. They haven't been for

214
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: a couple of games. That might prop up again, but

215
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: not right now. Penalties were a big problem hasn't really

216
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: been a big problem the last couple of weeks. Josh

217
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: Allen's play. They needed to solve some problems. They did

218
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: last week. Will he continue on an upward path? We'll see.

219
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: But they solve problems, patch things up, and keep going

220
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: and it's really kind of been fun to watch, with

221
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,959

00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: NFL Matchup on ESPN, a former Bills safety, one of

239
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: the most astute film greaters and most film evaluators working

240
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: in the media these days. Matt Bowen, we think I

241
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: don't think we've had him outset to combine now that

242
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 1: I think of it. Back in February, right, we had

243
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: Greg on his cohort, his co hosted oh and is great,

244
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: and we'll get his perspective on the Bills and the

245
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: rest of the league. On the Denver Broncos following practice today,

246
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: Micah Hide, Bill safety joins us to talk about what's

247
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: going on around the Bills. There is a couple of

248
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: things going on at practice today. Tayan Seki is out

249
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: no practice today and head coach Sean McDermot said he

250
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: is week to week, so you can cross him off

251
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: the list at least for this week. Safety Sir and

252
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: Neil in concussion protocol, so there's no updates on him.

253
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: No practice today for defensive en Jerry Hughes with dealing

254
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: with that groin situation that kept him out last Thursday.

255
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: I believe it was and a veteran rest day for

256
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander and John Brown. Bill's quarterback Josh Allen the

257
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his game against

258
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the thirty seven to twenty win through for

259
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty six yards three touchdowns now picks.

260
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: It's the second time that Josh Allen has won the

261
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week award in the AFC did

262
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: it at the season finale last year, also against Miami,

263
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: so Josh Allen congratulates to him the AFC Offensive Player

264
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: of the Week. Sunday's referee is gonna be Jerome Boger.

265
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: Sunday's weather snow showers in the morning, otherwise mostly cloudy

266
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: temperatures in the mid to upper thirties. The wins west

267
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen miles an hour, thirty percent chance of snow.

268
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: So there you go. You're all set out right. Thursday

269
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: Friday set four days away for the Bills and the

270
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. You're gonna talk about your hockey experience. Last night,

271
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: I will tell you I watched. I told you this already,

272
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: I'll repeat it. Watched the Broncos a couple of games

273
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: last night. I watched They're close lost in Minnesota. They

274
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: were in it right to the end. They were down

275
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: out the four yard line. Denver was with a chance

276
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: to score touchdown and win that game. They also had

277
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: got right before halftime of that game, when they were

278
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: up twenty to nothing. They got picked right then in

279
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: the red zone where they were going to try and

280
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: go into score. They could have gotten twenty three to

281
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: nothing or maybe even twenty seven to nothing, but they

282
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: threw an interception in the red zone at halftime. So

283
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: it was gonna be worse. So and I told you too.

284
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about knowing who these teams are,

285
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: how familiar Bills fans we went in. We we were

286
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: playing such bad football early last year. Remember the Nathan

287
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: Peterman day in the game and all that's how bad

288
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: was going. Everybody's all. The quarterbacks were getting hurt and

289
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: we went in and that was Josh Allen's and we

290
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: we look so bad on film that the Vikings didn't

291
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: show up and the Bills thumped him as a result.

292
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: That's the Josh Allen hurdle game. They did the same

293
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: thing yesterday in Minnesota at last Sunday, as they did

294
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: against the Bills of Dolphins. The Denver Broncos went in

295
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: there and hit him right in the mouth and almost

296
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: won it. And this time Minnesota actually managed to save

297
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: that game, but they didn't against the Bills last year.

298
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: It was the same kind of thing. Mike Mike Zimmer

299
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: once in a while his team lays an egg for him. Yeah,

300
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: and you can put that at his feet, I guess,

301
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: but I think that's what happened. I mean, they just

302
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: didn't show up until after halftime. Bronco's not a good team, really,

303
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: but they're not the Dolphins. They got talent. I mean,

304
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the quarterback in a minute, but Philip

305
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: Lindsay is a good quick running back, not big, but

306
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: a quick guy who can get outside in a hurry.

307
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: I really like the tight end. Their first rounder and

308
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: Noah Fan from Iowa. He might be better than his

309
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Iowa teammate t J. Hockinson, who went before him in

310
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: the draft. But no offense looks really good for the

311
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Pretty good receivers, especially Courton Sutton, second year player,

312
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: and Tim Patrick. The quarterback is that you're seeing Brandon Allen.

313
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: He's made two NFL starts, won one game, and then

314
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: of course lost last week. I don't know what to

315
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: make him. Steve, He's not He's not a great player, Okay,

316
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: you can see that. But he's kind of gritty and

317
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: he's a gamer, and he's undersized, and he's got a

318
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: decent enough arm, nothing special, not a real strong arm

319
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to. You're looking for an weather advantage,

320
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: root for high winds on Sunday, which you're not on

321
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: the forecast, because I don't know Brandon Allen's arm could

322
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: handle a high wind situation there. I know Josh is ken,

323
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: but he's got enough weapons around him to keep it going.

324
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: And of course the defense is good. I think Von

325
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: Miller is good. Defense is good. Shelby Harris a defensive

326
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: and had a really good game at Minnesota last week.

327
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: The back end of the defense, Chris Harris, junior veteran guy,

328
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: and other than that, not a whole lot to recommend,

329
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: but they're they're They're not like a Miami team that

330
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have any talent. They have talent sprinkled around. They

331
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: started out poorly with four straight losses. They started out

332
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco, which did not work well for them.

333
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: Got into the thing with Flacco and now he's on

334
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: I R four losses. They won two in a row

335
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: and now have lost three of their last four. You know,

336
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: they're they're ticketed for what a five or six win team,

337
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: and they're probably upset about the way it went down

338
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: in Minnesota last Sunday. Coming here to Buffalo now, and

339
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: I would say they're slightly dangerous for the Bills. It's

340
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: not an impressive Denver team, but they there's a team

341
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: you can't just shrug your shoulders at because you could

342
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: do that with Miami, not this week against Denver. There's

343
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of talent there, right, And Brandon Allen

344
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: and we're he'd try and get a handle on who

345
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: you can compare him too. For you know, people here

346
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: in Buffalo who don't watch the Broncos, he's Ryan Fitzpatrick

347
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: without the talent. I mean, yeah, he's he's a journey

348
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: He's twenty eight, and it took him this long to

349
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: get on the field for the NFL to and it

350
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: took a guy getting hurt for him to get on

351
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: the field. And so he's you know, he's not a

352
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: guy who physically blows your doors off, but like you said,

353
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: he's a guy like running fitz back. You know, those

354
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: guys are rallying around him. This Bronco team has got

355
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: some grit and they've got some pride. They've got some

356
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: veterans on this team that are not going to let

357
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: them not prepare to play well. And Vic Fangio is

358
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna have those guys wired up defensively ready for this

359
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: Bill's offense so that it's gonna be I've done it

360
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: every every week, and last week I was wrong, but

361
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: I'll say it again this week. This is gonna be

362
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: one of those nail biers. This is going to be

363
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: a close football game. Those defenses are not going to

364
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: allow somebody to jump out and run off with his game.

365
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: It's interesting. There was a report earlier this week from

366
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: Jason Lacan for OCBA sports dot Com that the Broncos

367
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: players were in a bit of a revolt against Vic Fangio.

368
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: That report came out, and then yesterday John Elway tonight

369
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: it said there's no rift between the first year head

370
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: coach and his players. Fangio's interesting right, longtime defensive coordinator,

371
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: forty two years as a coach, thirty plus years in

372
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, gets his first crack at coaching and being

373
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: the head coach of an NFL team, and it's not

374
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: going well. The three and say, heaven, I don't know.

375
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: They're an interesting team. You know, they certainly have enough

376
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: resources to build a good team. Does John Elway know

377
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: what he's doing how to build a good team? I

378
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: think that is still in play in question, but we'll see.

379
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: I do think they're scrappy. First thing sad to you

380
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: this morning at the Broncos. They're a scrappy team. If

381
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: they were your team, you'd like the way they play.

382
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: I will say that, you know what I mean. They say, well,

383
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: look we don't have this one, none of this, but

384
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: look at how hard they play. You'd like that about it.

385
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 1: It's like everything though when your team struggles to win

386
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: games and even if they're playing hard, you think we

387
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: need good players. We need better players. That's what the way. Listen,

388
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: every team in the league is sitting there and has

389
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: fans and it's fan base to say, you know, if

390
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: we just had two this guy here at this spot,

391
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: we'd be a lot better or this guy at this spot.

392
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: You know, Bill's fans have done this offensively all season,

393
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: at least looking for that one magic elixir that will

394
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: give them an extra touchdown a game and make a

395
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: big difference for him. Every team is like that. The

396
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos fans are you know, while they're sitting there saying, yeah,

397
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that could go differently. We

398
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: like the way they play and Vic and that's a

399
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: reflection of Vic and Joe. He's got him playing hard

400
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: and gritty and you alluded to And I'm going to

401
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: have time to talk about John Elway a lot. I'm

402
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: acquainted with him. We played against each other a number

403
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: of times, played on the same team in the Pro

404
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: Bowl a bunch of times as well. I don't want

405
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: to say he takes a lot of heat for how

406
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: he's handled a quarterback situation in Denver, because he's chosen

407
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: a ton of guys and they've rolled through there and

408
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: they've not yet to hit on him. I'm kind of

409
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: of the in the opposite camp myself. He knows what

410
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: he's looking at in the quarterback, and because he has

411
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: the autonomous power given to him by the owner, the

412
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: family of the Bowling family, he knows what he's looking at.

413
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: If that's if you get in there and played quarterback

414
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: for the Broncos and he doesn't like what he sees,

415
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: next guy up, and sooner or later he'll probably hit

416
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: on a guy, or he'll have the draft capital of

417
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: draft a guy. But I don't think and maybe you

418
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: can say he doesn't have patience. Maybe that's true. How

419
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: many times have we seen you think Tennessee's happy They

420
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: just wasted five years on Marcus Mariota. They could have

421
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: been John Elway would have gone through three other candidates

422
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: by this time, and they're pregnant. Now they're starting Ryan Tannehill.

423
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: Elway's not doing that. He if you're not the guy

424
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: looking for why can't you find this? Just did Murph?

425
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: How long did the Bells look and they had the

426
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: number one draft picks We've been in quarterback purgatory, had

427
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: been in quarterback purgatory for as long as anybody. You know,

428
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: how you find him. You go through the pile and

429
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: you pull one out and see if you like it.

430
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: If you don't, you throw him away and you get

431
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: the next guy on the pile. That's how you find

432
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback always doing it the right way. I don't

433
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: know about that. He's doing it the exact right way.

434
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: How another one, Blake Bortles. The the Jacksonville Jaguars were

435
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: a game away from the Super Bowl with Blake Bortles

436
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: at their quarterback. All they needed was somebody with a pulse,

437
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: and they couldn't happen because they stuck with him through

438
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: thick and then through what too long? What's they got

439
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: to do with Denver Ver? Never would have had a

440
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: different guy. By the time they had a defense worthy

441
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: of a super Bowl, they would have had a different guy.

442
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: A journeyman could have played better than Blake Bortles did

443
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs in nineteen twenty seventeen, a journeyman. But

444
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: they were stuck with Blake Bortles because they'd wanted to

445
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: make sure he was like, no, if he's not the

446
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: right guy, jettison him and go That's what John Elway

447
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: has done in Denver, and he takes a lot of

448
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: heat for it because they continue to wash through that.

449
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Flacco is the latest one. They still need

450
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: to find one. Yeah, and he goes all went into

451
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and that worked out pretty well for him,

452
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: that's yeah. And he handled him to andy. I'll tell

453
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: you what John Elway, nobody handles. He handled him pretty rough.

454
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: You know why Peyton Manning took a significant pay cut

455
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: in his final year significant page. John said, listen, if

456
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: you want to play for you're gonna because we need

457
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: the cap space. And Peyton said, no, I don't catch

458
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: your point here. What he's saying Elway is on target.

459
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: He's in close to finding a quarterback because I don't

460
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: know if he's I don't know if he's keeps one. Well, yeah,

461
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: but now worries he can't get one. You gotta go

462
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 1: with what you got now. Yeah, that's why he's down

463
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: to Bland Brandon Allen. But I'll tell you what you think,

464
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is going to be their quarterback next year.

465
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: That's right. Somebody else is going to get a shot

466
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: at it. So you're given Alway credit for psycling through quarterbacks. Okay, yeah,

467
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: I guess he's doing that. Did you give the Bills

468
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: credit when they were doing something similar? Sometimes they hung

469
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 1: on to guys a little too long? All right, right,

470
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: like who wow? How long are you gonna go with

471
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: these guys? You know? All right? There's look, I know,

472
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: I appreciate I appreciate your relationship with that way. I

473
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: don't have a relationship where we were acquainting right sticking

474
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: up for him, but I think I like to hard

475
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: to defend him the philosophy of what I'm scrambling for

476
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback, not sticking with anybody who's not going to

477
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: be the guy. I've quoted Tom to meet Trough on

478
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: the show for the last three years, and he's right,

479
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: when you don't have a FI franchise quarterback, you are

480
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: in perpetual scramble to find that guy. And he was.

481
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: He was talking about Atlanta in the Super Bowl with

482
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. I wonder if his thoughts have changed a

483
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: little bit about that now. But when you don't have

484
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: the guy, and it looks like the Bills might have theirs,

485
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: when you don't have the guy, you are in constant

486
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: pursuit of that guy, right, and that's where the Broncos

487
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: are now. And that's really ben since Peyton mannings. I agree,

488
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: and that's why too, I think. But I think, unlike

489
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: other teams, they've got a guy at the top who

490
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: played the position at the highest level one two super bowls,

491
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: went to five Super Bowls. He has a strong Maybe

492
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: you can say this right or wrong, but I think

493
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: the guy knows what he's talking about. He's a really

494
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: sharp guy. He knows from what he's looking at when

495
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: you get a guy in live action, either the chemistry

496
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: with the headcoat. And I think I'm sure he takes

497
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: this into account too, because he was with Dan Reeves

498
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: and that was that was a rocky relationship. He looks

499
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: at everything and if it's not working with this guy

500
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: and this regime or whatever, he's pulling the plug on

501
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: that guy. He's moving on because you don't get anywhere,

502
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: you get to where you're going faster if you hurry.

503
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: And John Ell is hurrying through these quarterbacks to get

504
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: to the next one that's going to be the right guy,

505
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: And that to me is the right frame of mind.

506
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, he's trying. Yeah, that's exactly right. And

507
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: a lot of these teams, well you know you've seen it.

508
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: This general manager's married to this quarterback, and this quarterback

509
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: doesn't work, this general manager loses his job. So this

510
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: general manager is hanging onto this quarterback no matter what,

511
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: even even when he stinks. So that's always not tied

512
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: to that. And that's I think where they he has

513
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: the advantage. Now you've forced me to go and look

514
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: at since Peyton Manning right, Bronco's quarterbacks who have started

515
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: at Brocossweiler that wasn't now way moved right, Trevor Simeon,

516
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: Paxton Lynch. They drafted fairly early, case Keenum, Joe Flacco.

517
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: So are you give him credit for all those five

518
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: six failures? Is that what you're doing? And how many

519
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: years has it been? They won the Super Bowl in

520
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen January twenty fourteen, four years, five years, five

521
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. Why would he give anybody a second year

522
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: when they're not going to be the guy get the

523
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: next guy in. That's I agree with it. I know,

524
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna take it's gonna take a while.

525
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 1: Those guys don't grow on trees. But he's finding out

526
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: more about quarterbacks and his roster stuff than other guys

527
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: are finding out on theirs. All right, hey, we gotta

528
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: get the brownie. We're gonna take a break, and Chris

529
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: Brown's gonna join us from the sideline that builds practice outdoors.

530
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: Come on back. We're just getting getting going here. We're

531

537
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: a look at practice. Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo

Speaker 1: Bills dot Com standing by on the sidelines as the

539
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: Bills get ready for the Denver Broncos. Chris, come in, Chris,

540
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: can we here you bbpp Chris? Are you there? Yes?

541
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: I am here? Do you need morse code? What do

542
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: we need today? I need you to I'm looking at you.

543
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: I saw you during the break and the atmosphere out there,

544
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: and one word came to mind, and I just wanted

545
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: to look it up, and I think you have the

546
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: right word. It is dank out there isn't a da

547
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: n k dank. It is that disagreeably damp, musty and

548
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: typically cold. It's dank out there, isn't it? Dang it

549
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's not terrible though. I mean there's

550
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: no there's no discernible win to speak of, and that

551
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: just makes a gigantic difference out here. So it's bearable

552
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: for practice in you know, late November, So not nearly

553
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: as bad as it was a couple of weeks ago

554
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: when we were down in the twenties. Right. So, Yeah,

555
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: and the Bills take the field today with the reigning

556
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: offensive player of the Week and Josh Allen. What did

557
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: you take from his performance Sunday and what do you

558
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: think they can take forward against the Broncos. Yeah. I

559
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: think the biggest difference in his play last week as

560
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: opposed to previous weeks, even the week prior in Cleveland

561
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: was he was starting to murder urge his progress as

562
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: a pre snap diagnosa of what he's looking at with

563
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: his post snap game. I think they started to come

564
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: together last week against Miami, and granted it, it was

565
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: an inferior opponent. I think most people would agree with that.

566
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: We'll get a better idea as to just how close

567
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: he is to merging those two parts of his game

568
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: against what is a formidable defense this week in Denver,

569
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: which is fourth in the league overall, seventh in points allowed,

570
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: and fifth against the past. Chris, I like what you

571
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: have settled on is, you know, maybe the primary reason

572
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen's big game, because you know, there's a

573
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: lot of window dressing in that Buffalo offensive attack last Sunday,

574
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Brian Dable upstairs, no huddle attack, etc. Those are factors,

575
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's I mean, that was part

576
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: of what went right, but not the main part of

577
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: what went right last Sunday. Do you agree, Yeah, I

578
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: mean I think he got to his answers more effectively

579
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: because of some of the no huddle. He admitted as much.

580
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: And so if you can get your quarterback in a

581
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: comfort level or a comfort zone, I should say where

582
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: he has the answers at the ready, especially when they're

583
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: showing blitz, which they did early, and he's got you know,

584
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: he can change to a one step drop and then

585
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: get it out to John Brown. You know, who's setting

586
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: up his dB nicely to get early separation. That makes

587
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: it a whole lot easier for a young quarterback because

588
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: he's feeling I've got answers, and I know he was

589
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: on your show on Monday and he also said that

590
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: he felt he could play free based on what coach

591
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: told him in the team last week, which was to

592
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: play fearless and if there was ever an opponent to

593
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: tell your team to do that against, the Dolphins were

594
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: the perfect tonic for that as well. Well. You talked

595
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: about him getting to his answers a little quicker post snap.

596
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: He's going to need to do that even faster this

597
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: week because the Broncos d defense are going to be

598
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: rushing against an offensive linement with tian Secki week to

599
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: week he may not be available. Cody Ford goes to

600
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: right tackle. How do you see the protection package shaping

601
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: up against this Broncos front as opposed to the Dolphins front. Yeah.

602
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: I think the good thing is Cody Ford got some

603
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: exposure to a premier pass rusher a couple of weeks

604
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: ago in Myles Garrett von Miller plays on his side

605
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: of the formation about seventy five percent of the time.

606
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: He will flip back and forth, but primarily, you know,

607
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: on average, three out of every four snaps he's lining

608
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: up at that left outside linebacker position in Denver's three

609
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: four scheme. So that will be a premier test and

610
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: it's not going to surprise me at all. If they

611
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: use a back to chip on his way out or

612
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: have a tight end, there is help for Cody, especially

613
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: if he's going to be manning that role full time.

614
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: If Inseci is not good to go, so big test

615
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: this week, for sure, I'm at least somewhat encouraged by

616
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: the fact that he's seen guys of this caliber before.

617
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: Just a couple of weeks ago. We're talking with Chris

618
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: Brownie's outside watching Bill's practice on this Wednesday. Chrism one

619
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: more question about the Buffalo offense. I am for you,

620
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: and you know, we don't know whether they stay with

621
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: some of the things that went well, but they at

622
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: least have not ruled out going back to no huddle offense.

623
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the ultimate solution, but it

624
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: worked this past Sunday. I don't know, what do you think.

625
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad they have that in their offensive arsenal. I

626
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: don't know if they need to keep no huddle offense going,

627
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: what do you think may maybe not to that degree

628
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,239
Speaker 1: because it was essentially the entire first half there were

629
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: only three plays that they ran in which they were

630
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: not in eleven personnel, which is their predominant formation, which

631
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: has kind of been in vogue in the league for

632
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: a couple of years now with the Rams popularizing it tremendously.

633
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: They use it more than anybody up and around the

634
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: eighty percent range. So I think going forward, what you

635
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: look at is you look at the opponent this week,

636
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: and so you say, what does Denver do? Well, what

637
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: do they have trouble with? And I can tell you

638
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: that when Minnesota went up tempo and hurry up offense,

639
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: due primarily to the fact that they were down twenty

640
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: points on the scoreboard, you know, in a twenty nothing

641
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: hole to Denver, the Denver defense did have trouble getting

642
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: in their alignments against that hurry up from play to

643
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: play and series to series. And seeing some of the

644
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: comments from the Denver defensive players, it seems as though

645
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: the issue is some of their calls defensively are quite wordy.

646
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio is known to run a complex defensive scheme,

647
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: and they don't just have two and three word calls

648
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. So if you can

649
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: get your tempo going, get a couple of first downs,

650
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: you can kind of catch this Denver defense a little

651
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: off kilter, and that's advantage Buffalo as far as moving

652
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: the football goes, ask you one more? Top time for

653
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: one more? You gotta go, Chris, I think we got time. Okay, Yeah,

654
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: we're good. Five minutes and change here. Okay, and Steve

655
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: ask you a minute ago about protection schemes. If Cody Ford,

656
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: you know now, is the guy with Tian Secky at

657
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: least week to week. If you are looking for a

658
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: way to get Cody Ford ready to play, you could

659
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: not have done it much better than have him play

660
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: essentially fifty percent of the snaps over there at right tackle.

661
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: Do you agree, Well, yeah, he's he's the guy, so

662
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: he's got to make it happen. I think what happens

663
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: here is Ryan Bates is the swing tackle this week.

664
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: If and Sky can't go, but I expect Forward to

665
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: get the full complimentary reps. All right, we'll let you

666
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: go now, all right, thanks Brownie, appreciate it. You got it, guys,

667
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com The Insider,

668
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be inside here in a moment. As

669
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: he leaves practice, it looked colder than I guess it

670
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: was out there. It looks really cool. It looks really

671
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: looks like you know Hogan's heroes, you know, I mean,

672
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm really eager to watch Cody forward and look, I

673
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: don't know if he'll finish up this season, but you

674
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: certainly they'll have this week's game. And like I tried

675
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: to make the point with christ you know, he's playing

676
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: basically half the Snaps two series at the time, through

677
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: the first ten games this year. It's a pretty good

678
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: apprenticeship to get ready to play in a full time basis.

679
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: And as you point out, it's Von Miller on the

680
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: other side, So welcome to the NFL, mister Ford, right, Yeah,

681
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: you better have it strapped up. I mean, this is

682
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: a game that Von Miller rex games, and he does

683
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: it a lot of times against young offensive lineman. You

684
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: got to have a bunch of tools in your toolbox

685
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: to combat a guy like that. You gotta get rid

686
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: of the ball quick on some downs. You've got to

687
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: have a tight end or a wing back next year,

688
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: right tackle to give von don't give Von Miller the

689
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: corner to come off the edge fast on you chip

690
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: block him with a back releasing from the backfield to

691
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: knock him off his path and help his your right tackle.

692
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: All of that stuff is in the in the in

693
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: the mix. To do one of them or something like

694
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: that have got to be done every play. Yeah, that

695
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw the football on and the only time

696
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: you don't do that are the ones where you want

697
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: him up the fields. You can run it past him,

698
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, So you got to You got a lot

699
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: of tools in your toolbox to get that done. He's

700
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: a game wrecker, he still is. Their defense is still

701
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: playing extremely well. Their number four in the league, Buffalo

702
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: is number three a yards per game allowed. This team

703
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: in Denver right now is a pretty similar to Buffalo.

704
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: It's they lean on their defense and hope their offense

705
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: can make enough plays to win it. I think Buffalo's

706
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: got a better and more consistent offense at this point

707
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: than the Broncos do. But it's a week to week

708
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: lee yeah right, I mean, you know you gotta play

709
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: well to beat this team because their defense are tough

710
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: and Stills are considerably better than Denver, though I mean

711
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: seven wins. The three wins demonstrates that, and it's mostly

712
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: on the offensive out of the ball. The Bills. They

713
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: have offensive playmakers. Look how many times this year did

714
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: we go into games? Are dollars or twitters are going

715
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: to games and say, well, the Bills have the worst

716
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: receiving court in the league. You know what they don't?

717
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: They don't. John Brown is good, Cole Beasley is really good.

718
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: And here's a team, an opponent Denver, which the receivers

719
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: don't match up with Buffalo's receivers, if you want to

720
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: do it that way. Miamis did not match up with Buffalo.

721
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: So the Bills have talent at places the Broncos can

722
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: only dream about, I think, and maybe even a running back.

723
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: I like Philip Lindsay quickness, it's there, but I don't

724
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: know if he's in every down back. You know, I

725
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: think he's okay. Royce Freeman his backup is a good

726
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: change up. But there's just not a whole lot of

727
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: talent there their offensive line, and they may be Dalton

728
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: or Eisener, their first or their second round pick kind

729
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: of banged up might not be ready to play. You know,

730
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: he's been starting at the left guard for them for

731
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: most of the season. So it's not a good team.

732
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos. As I said, they're a scrappy team.

733
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: If you were a Denver fan, if you lived in Denver,

734
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: you'd say, all right, I like this team. I like

735
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: the way they play. They go after it, they play hard.

736
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: You can say that about the quarterback Brandon Allen, but

737
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: he's a frat of what Josh Allen can bring to

738
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: a football game. They run a three four defense, so

739
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: there's four linebackers on the on the field all the time,

740
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: and the four linebackers are Malik read von Miller, Alexander Johnson,

741
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: and Todd Davis. U. Von Miller is a beast. Mike

742
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: Purcell is a big nose tackle that so this is

743
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: going to be a different front for the Bills to

744
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: contend with on a down to down basement basis. And

745
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the things that the trends all

746
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: over the place in the NFL. For for a long time,

747
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: it was a three four defense, and that's how you

748
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: generated a pass rush because they didn't know which of

749
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: the four of the five guys standing at the line scrimmage,

750
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: we're going to come and they had to decipher that.

751
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: The team's got a lot of advantages from that. And

752
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: now the pendulum has swung back in some respects to

753
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: a four three defense is a lot more prominent because

754
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: you know you can you can generally like they like

755
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: the way they can fill in. The linebackers are more

756
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: easy to easily fill in at any gap along the front.

757
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: The run fits are better for the linebackers. You make

758
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: more plays in the run games. The pendulum swings back

759
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: and forth on these defenses, but I don't think the

760
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: Bills see two as many three four defenses as they

761
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: used too. And this is gonna be one that's really

762
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to contend with because they got an

763
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: elite pass rusher. Denver's got a deal with the AFC

764
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week. Josh Allen, Buffalo's quarterback, got

765
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: the award today Josh Allen AFC Offensive Player of the

766
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: Week for his game against Miami, and head coach Sean

767
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: McDermott was asked today about that and how they acknowledge

768
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: johsh Allens getting that award. Here's Sean McDermott, whether it's

769
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: game balls in this case with Josh with the AFC

770
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week. Great accomplishment, and I think

771
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that our players understand is that those

772
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: are not individually one or accomplished on their own. So

773
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: those are team team recognitions really, So that's what's baked

774
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: into all of that. But certainly great for Josh to

775
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: be recognized, and we expect to hear from Josh Allen

776
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: a little bit lead around this afternoon after practice. All right,

777
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,200

Speaker 1: they're gonna win two or three more, eighteen percent of

791
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: you say they're gonna win four plus, five percent say

792
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,880

Speaker 1: do you think? We'll talk about it when we come back.

794
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalina Health Live from the

795

Speaker 1: Met Bowen's gonna join us next hour as well. Man.

799
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: We got a lot of ground to cover. Now it's

800
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: time for you. Let us know what you think the

801
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: Bills remaining schedules six games left, third most difficult schedule

802
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: remaining in the NFL. How many wins do you see?

803
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think you want to get. Yes, sir,

804
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: you're not You're not deviating from your preseason You think

805
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna get ten wins? Do you think two to

806
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: three wins at least is your thing? And I'm I'm

807
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: still sticking with my four plus. I think they're gonna

808
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: get to eleven wins. I think they will. They got

809
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: to win four of these last six games, and I

810
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: think I think they got a shot of doing it,

811
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: no question. None of these teams are looking past this team,

812
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to play well to do it.

813
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: But we knew that going in they were gonna have

814
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: to play well. They we would have said to get

815
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: to seven and three, They're gonna have to really play

816
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: some good football. They've got one lopsided loss on the season,

817
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: the other two games certainly could have gone either way.

818
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: They're a tough team to beat for anybody, and that's

819
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: going to continue to be the case throughout the rest

820
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: of the season. They're gonna win more than they lose

821
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: on this Let's go to uh, We're going to Toronto,

822
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: and I want to pronounce your name correctly. Is it harrass?

823
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: Is that how you say it? Hard? Guess? How are

824
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: your I'm doing well? How are you guys? Good? Right,

825
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Great to talk to you guys. A huge fan of

826
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: listening to guys for a few years now. Thank you.

827
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm from Toronto but born in Buffalo. Season ticket holder,

828
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: so I'm really excited to fuck you guys. Great, Yeah, great,

829
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: what do you have to say, uh specifically, Uh So

830
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: in the summer when the schedule came out, I also

831
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: predicted eleven wins plus the playoff win. He's on my team,

832
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: ars my way to go. Man, I can't. I'm glad

833
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: you called. So what do you think now? So I'm

834
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: it's still on track. I think we're gonna say we

835
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: still win four as a remaining sixth game, but so

836
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking we beat Denby kind of like how we

837
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: beat the Bengals Dallas. Dallas is probably the most important

838
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: game we have because that's going to prove to the

839
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: rest of the country who doesn't watch us, that hey,

840
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: the Bills are for real, because people are just, uh,

841
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: they're just they're they're writing us off against the especially

842
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: people are like I talked to a lot of people here,

843
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: They're like, why are the Bills playing Thanksgiving? Who wants

844
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: to watch the Bills? And I'm just like, Oh, you're

845
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: gonna see, don't worry, you will see. And then Baltimore

846
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: people are writing us off for that, and I think

847
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna be similar to the Eagles game. So I'm

848
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: gonna count that as a loss after that. Pittsburgh Pittsburgh also,

849
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a hiccup, kind of like

850
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: the Browns game. I'm writing that off as a lot.

851
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: But we beat New England and then we beat the

852
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: jet so you've got the New England Patriots as a win.

853
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: I'll bet you that's you may be on an island

854
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: by yourself predicting that, you know, because I'm thinking that

855
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: we can we kind of play similarly to how we

856
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: did the first meeting against New England, but this time

857
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 1: we get their number because I think Josh is gonna

858
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: have a lot less mistake. I think it's gonna be

859
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: a little more prepared for that defense as much as

860
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: you can be, and just maybe defense gets a couple

861
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: of turnovers the way Brady's been playing, and you gotta

862
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: win there, all right. I'll just yeah, thank you. Let's

863
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: go to Tom and Webster in New York. Hello Tom,

864
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Oh hi, good to talk to you.

865
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: Our first time color from Webster. How are you doing, guys?

866
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: Doing great time? Thank you? Good? Hey, I see ten more.

867
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: I have a couple of things. I wanted to talk

868
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: about my prediction for the number of wins, and I'd

869
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: like to talk about Allan a little bit and Brown

870
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: and a defense. But my first prediction wins against Denver,

871
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and the New York Jets to get us to

872
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: ten and six. Okay, okay, I feel that because I

873
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: look at everybody says, well, Denver, they got a great defense.

874
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: They do, but they gave up twenty seven points to

875
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: the Vikings in the second half. So I didn't see

876
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: the game. But do you know what happened there? Well,

877
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: the vic What Chris Brown just told us on our

878
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: live practice hit was that the Vikings went a little

879
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: bit no huddle and there went a lot of no

880
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: huddle on the second half, and Denver had strugg and

881
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: struggled to h to answer it. So that's, uh, that's

882
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: what happened. They went no huddle and and Denver fell

883
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: apart defensively. You know not only did um? I know

884
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: you got more here, Tom gonna get to you. Uh,

885
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings. The Broncos were up by sixteen points going

886
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter. So it's one thing to blow

887
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: a twenty point lead at half time. They were up

888
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: by sixteen going to the fourth quarter. How do you

889
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: do that? Go ahead, I'm sorry, Tom, go ahead. Well,

890
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: the so Denver doesn't have a good offense, right, they

891
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: have a good Okay, my the other thing I'd like

892
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: to see. I love this Alan Brown combination, and I'd

893
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: like to see more of a tight end included into

894
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: receiving packages to deal with. I think Gosson Knoxes is

895
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: on the verge. I don't know, exploding is too strong

896
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: a word, but he's on the verge of real emergence

897
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: into a major weapon for this offense. And he cured

898
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: I hope he cured his hands issue and is hanging

899
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: out the football throwing his way. But I do think

900
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: he is a lot to offer. You know how you

901
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: say the Bill's offense is stuff under the hood. I

902
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: think he's the number one piece under the hood waiting

903
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: to emerge. Everybody. Yeah, And here's the thing too, When

904
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: you talk about other guys getting involved, John Brown, Josh Allen,

905
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, Cole Beasley, Dawson Knox, all these guys for

906
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback and Josh Allen. What happens typically and I

907
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: remember this as a player. Those guys throw to people

908
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: they trust and who they not. It's not about trust

909
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: him to catch the ball, and they trust that all

910
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: the guys are gonna catch the ball. When they throw

911
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: it well and all that. What it is is they

912
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: trust what that guy is gonna do, where he's gonna

913
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: be when he's gonna get there. Is he gonna be

914
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: by himself when he gets there? How much do I

915
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: trust that all those things are gonna happen? And right now,

916
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen seems to trust John Brown a lot in

917
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: that respect, I think he trusts Cole Beasley a lot.

918
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: Although I think teams pay a little bit of attention

919
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: to Cole Beasley because they know those are easy completions

920
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. I think Cole Beasley is one of

921
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: the guys who gets a lot of attention, and even

922
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: though he's got over forty catches on the year, he

923
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 1: might have a lot more if defenses didn't take away

924
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: the easy completions for Josh Allen. So when you start

925
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: talking about him spreading it around and maybe getting it

926
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: tight ends involved as you are, Tom, It's more about

927
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: who Josh Allen feels comfortable with and who the defenses

928
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: are looking at as well. It's not like he's just

929
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: Josh just decides I'm gonna go to He rarely hear

930
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: a quarterback go I'm throwing to you no matter what.

931
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: It happens once in a while. Yeah, but when they

932
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: start spreading it around, it's because the quarterback is really

933
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: comfortable in the offense and he trusts all those guys.

934
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: It's not just about, you know, trusting one or two.

935
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: You got to trust all of them. And I don't

936
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: know that Josh Allen is quite there with Dawson Knox

937
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: or whether they've had enough work to get there where

938
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: he is with John Brown, but certainly John Brown's earning

939
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: his trust. Else you got about the Bills defense. Oh

940
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: and then one other thing, two things. Look, I'm kind

941
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: of a big fan of Duke Williams from the things

942
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: I've seen, and I hope at some point they can

943
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: get him in the game plan. Okay, Yeah, I think

944
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: I agree, Thanks Tom. Yeah, it is an interesting question

945
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 1: about Duke william Steve. I think he's been an active

946
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: now three straight games. Yeah. After the Tennessee game, he

947
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: was viewed as almost the savior for the Buffalo offense,

948
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: and yet they see something else there. I'm not saying

949
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: he is a savior, but the way things changed for

950
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: Duke Williams from they finally got him in the Tennessee

951
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: game everybody's like, we told you Duke Colliams was going

952
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: to be a factor, and he's not even on the

953
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: field on Sundays now. And I think perhaps, and I

954
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: don't know anything about that, but I know that this

955
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff at least appears to have their finger on

956
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: the pulse of this team's attitude and its players as

957
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: much as any team in the league. Any coaching staff

958
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: in the league has the pulse of their team. And

959
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: I think when they activated Duke Johnson or Duke Williams

960
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: and he had the success he did and it went

961
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: as well as it did, I think that lit a

962
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: fire under other guys on the roster. I think it's

963
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: sent a message that listen, if you're playing well in

964
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: practicing well, that's how you get on the field. This

965
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: coaching staff and this regime is all about earning your keep.

966
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: Duke Williams did that, and I think that message permeated

967
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: the rest of the receivers in the room, the tight

968
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: ends in the room, all that stuff, and I think

969
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: it served exactly the purpose it was supposed to. And

970
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: maybe guys like Isaiah McKenzie and Robert Foster upped their

971
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: prep or raised their level of intensity during the week

972
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: to get back on the field when they had been

973
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: sat down at that point of the season. So maybe

974
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 1: that's what happened. I don't know. Maybe it's something else completely,

975
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: but it certainly looks like that to me. Gonna break,

976
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: gonna come backfield. Yate's gonna join this next hour from

1040
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: I guess you've heard. And what did you think about

1041
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen being named Offensive Player of the Week for

1042
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: the AFC. Yeah, I thought it was merited after a

1043
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: wonderful performance this past week, most obviously his most complete

1044
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: game of the season. Effective through the air, effective on

1045
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: the ground, and just the kind of game that you

1046
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: should take care of business against the Dolphins. It's a

1047
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: team that you have decided to leaven more talent then,

1048
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: and you should win that game one hundred times out

1049
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: of a hundred if you want to stay in the

1050
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: playoff race and legitimize that seven and three record. I

1051
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: thought it was a really important performance from Josh, certainly

1052
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: a confidence builder and one that merited that AFC Player

1053
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: of the Week award. I sense feel that this year

1054
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: you have become more I don't know, not enamored, but

1055
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: impressed by Josh Allen's performance. Clearly everybody sees there's room

1056
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: for improvement, but he has taken significant steps forward this

1057
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,959
Speaker 1: year compared to his first eleven games last year, hasn't

1058
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: he Yeah? I think so. And it's the numbers that

1059
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 1: tell part of the story. I know the accuracy is

1060
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: still going to be something the people harp on a ton.

1061
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: I would say the context is important. I feel like

1062
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: the Bills weapons this year are far more desirable, and

1063
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: he's making use of those weapons. Obviously, John Brown has

1064
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: been a revelation for them in free agency. Dawson Knox

1065
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: has contributed more and more of late. The offensive line

1066
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 1: is still good, not great yet, but I think that's

1067
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: helped a lot this year from Josh. I think he's

1068
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: been smart in terms of picking his spots to be

1069
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: a runner. And you know, I think we just have

1070
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: this desire for things to come together fast for quarterbacks

1071
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: given that there are prodigious talents like Patrick Mahomes and

1072
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: others that make it happen right away. But at the

1073
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: end of the day, Josh Allen is on the right track.

1074
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: I think the Bill should feel good about the overall

1075
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: performance up to this point. Seven and three is kind

1076
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: of right where you want to be at this juncture

1077
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: of the season. Well, what are we looking at here?

1078
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: And that's the big question. You got six games left

1079
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: in the season. The schedule goes from the easiest to

1080
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: one of the most difficult. And I'm exaggerating to make

1081
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: a point, not the most easy, but a very easy

1082
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: schedule to a very difficult schedule in the next six games.

1083
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: What can the Bills fans and people around the country

1084
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: expect from this Bills team given the fact that they've

1085
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: waded through these the softer schedule pretty well, and now

1086
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: look at six games to finish the season, what are

1087
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: we looking at? Are they good enough to plow through

1088
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: that schedule? Are we going to see him improve? Are

1089
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: we gonna see him hold their own? Are we going

1090
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: to see him flounder. Yeah, it's a gut check four

1091
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: week schedule, and I don't want to mitigate the importance

1092
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: of Sunday's game against the Broncos, but I do believe

1093
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: that's a game you should win, especially playing at home

1094
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: against the three and seven Broncos team that's down to

1095
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: its second string quarterback. But it's the four games after that, obviously,

1096
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, the Patriots in New England's a

1097
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: tough test, and then the two games in between, the

1098
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: AFC North team that you are facing off against, are

1099
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: huge challenges there for the Bills. But I think if

1100
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: you can split those two games, you feel really good

1101
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: about those four games. Excuse me, you feel really good

1102
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: about your chances of making the playoffs. You know, it's

1103
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: weird because on the outside, we spend all of our

1104
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: time looking at the entirety of the schedule, and then

1105
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: we laugh at teams when they say they want to

1106
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: go week by week. But that's the only way the

1107
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: Bills can make it through this is they can't be

1108
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: focused on what's a head still, because if they overlooked

1109
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: at Broncos, they could have wo almost happen to the

1110
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: Vikings this past week, which is the Vikings getting all

1111
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: the good handle from the Broncos at Minnesota having to

1112
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: go down to literally the final play of the game.

1113
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: So it's tough, stretched no question about that. But for

1114
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: the Bills, the focus has to be not hey, can

1115
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: we survive entering weeks seventeen at you know, something like

1116
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: ten and five. It has to be can we get

1117
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: to eight and three on Sunday? Because if they do that,

1118
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: there's still in a really good spot. I still believe

1119
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs with field Yates ESPN NFL Insider,

1120
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned a moment ago how wide receiver or the

1121
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: Bills Brown is. John Brown has been a revelation for

1122
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 1: the Bills. Is he Is he a revelation around the NFL?

1123
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean he had good years at Arizona, A decent

1124
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: half season anyway, last year at Baltimore. Are people surprised

1125
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: by John Brown's production this year? Do you think? Probably

1126
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: not totally surprised, because you're right, it's been there in

1127
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: spurts previously. I think it's just the consistency that's so impressive.

1128
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: At least fifty receiving yards and all games so far

1129
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: this year. We know He's a big play waiting to

1130
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: happen with that outstanding speed, but so reliable, so consistently

1131
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: targeted by Josh and I think it's just been an

1132
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: encouraging connection. I think there were some people that felt like, hey,

1133
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: going into this year, the speed wide receiver, you might

1134
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: want to add if you're the Bills, as a guy

1135
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: that can be more physical at the point of catch,

1136
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: because Josh Allen was still a developing player in terms

1137
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: of his accuracy down the field. Nope, John Brown has

1138
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: been everything that the Bills could have asked for and

1139
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: that Brandon Bean could have imagined when he told out

1140
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: that three year, twenty seven million dollar deal. I think

1141
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: when you look back in free agency, it's been one

1142
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: of the most impactful, I think acquisitions across the league.

1143
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: It's been a home run. You know, obviously, you've always

1144
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: known he's a great character, great person, and when you

1145
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: can combine great person with great production, it's hard to

1146
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: ask for anything more than that in the NFL. Yeah,

1147
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: I think I know what people mean when they say

1148
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver, and yet I see John Brown

1149
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: and I think, why isn't he considered a number one?

1150
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: Does he have what it takes. What do you think, Yeah,

1151
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: probably a little bit is due to the fact that

1152
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: he's not built like a normal number one wide receiver, right.

1153
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy that, relatively speaking, is a small

1154
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: player in the NFL that does not necessarily need to matter,

1155
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: though we see guys get it done in all ways,

1156
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,919
Speaker 1: shapes and form. And also I just think that he's

1157
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: been awesome. The volume hasn't been quite as productive as

1158
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: somebody like Michael Thomas, which is why he's being talked

1159
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: about as the unquestioned number one wide receiver in football

1160
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: this year with ninety four catches already. You know, I

1161
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 1: don't grapple too much with those kind of things, and

1162
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills need to be too bogged

1163
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: down about whether John Brown is a number one wide

1164
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: receiver or not. The guy's been incredible for them, and

1165
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: I think that's probably what you know, Sean McDermott and

1166
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and Brian dave Ball are much more focused on,

1167
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: is that we have a guy who every single week,

1168
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: no matter who we're playing, no matter where we're playing,

1169
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: no matter what the weather is like, we're gonna get

1170
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: solid production out of him. And I said, fifty or

1171
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 1: more yards in every game so far this season. You

1172
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: know it's not bad right there. He's certainly going to

1173
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 1: have a chance to challenge for probably some Bills records

1174
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: by the time the end of the season is is

1175
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: at its end. Well, the Bills play the Denver Broncos

1176
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 1: this weekend. Both teams kind of structured around their defense.

1177
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: At the Broncos defense with Von Miller up front. The

1178
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: Bills defense with their great secondary who covers people up

1179
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 1: and they're actually with seven sacks last week. It puts

1180
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: them in a pretty good position with sacks or pressures

1181
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: per play. What was that that sack percentage? They're seventh

1182
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: in the league against sack percentage per play. So the

1183
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: Bills defense Broncos defense kind of face off in this

1184
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: game this weekend. How do you see this game unfolding?

1185
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: I think the Bill end up winning this game. I

1186
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: think they are better on defense. I think they're better

1187
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: on offense. I think they're better on special teams as well,

1188
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: and have an edge being at home, and not that

1189
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: Denver doesn't play in some wonky conditions themselves. But I

1190
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: heard Murph mentioned we're gonna have I like how you said, like,

1191
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: you know, not looking like too much of a weather

1192
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: consideration on Sunday, just snowshowers in the morning where in

1193
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: like you know, twenty seven NFL markets, that's like age

1194
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 1: or costs for Concern Buffalo. We just call that Sunday

1195
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: in November. Yeah, and I love it. It's one of

1196
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: them as I will always. I will always contend that

1197
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: Western New York football some of the best football. To me,

1198
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the best game day atmospheres in

1199
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: any sport. I really believe that. I love. I loved

1200
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: it is. I don't end up making it the games

1201
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: anymore with my duties and studio on Sundays, but I

1202
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: used to love going to games up there at the

1203
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: Ralph and now a New Era field as well. But

1204
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: I do think that the Bills are a better team,

1205
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: and they have better strengths across the board defensive and

1206
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: they should be able to put the screws on this

1207
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: uh Denver passing offense. I think the key players to

1208
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: watch from the Broncos obviously Courtland Sutton, who's really become

1209
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: a star wide receiver for them. Second year player out

1210
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: of SMU has taken on a larger role week by week,

1211
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: and then No Ah Fan sort of intriguing m for

1212
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: Bills fans. They've certainly like what they've seen at of

1213
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: Dawston Knox over the past few weeks. A guy drafted

1214
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: a couple rounds ahead of them was no A Fan

1215
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: twentieth overall picking this year's last out of Ayah one

1216
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: of two Iowa tight ends to go in the first round.

1217
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: And Fant has been a huge part of their passing

1218
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: and he had four catches last week on eleven targets.

1219
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: But interestingly, he's so versatile and so athletic they actually

1220
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 1: handed the football off to him twice. So don't be

1221
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: surprised if you see them get creative with the ways

1222
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: they can use Noah Fant this Sunday. A guy who's

1223
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: got plenty of scale and should see plenty of opportunity

1224
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the field. So a great

1225
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: task for you know, those terrific, terrific duo of safeties

1226
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: between Micah Hyde and also Jordan Poyer on Sunday for

1227
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: the Bills. A couple of minutes ago, field out was

1228
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: telling our production crew in the other room how much

1229
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: I like Noah Fan, how how important he is it

1230
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: their offense, and they screamed at me. They said he

1231
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: dropped the game winning touchdown passing Minnesota last week. They're right.

1232
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: I just think he's a really impactful player, potentially really impactful. Well,

1233
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: so I actually sort of feel like that last play

1234
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: makes both both arguments, right. I mean, for those that

1235
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: are not yet sold on Noah, you got to make

1236
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: that play. For those that are like you, and I

1237
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: feel like they've got something going there. You might say,

1238
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: all right, when the game was on the line was

1239
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: literally touchdown or lost, who did the Broncos turn to?

1240
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: And the answer was, of course Noah Fan in the

1241
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: end zone. And you know, I actually thought it was

1242
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: pretty obvious holding on that play myself. But as we know, guys,

1243
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: as we now know, it doesn't matter if there's holding

1244
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: or interference, and if the rest don't call it, don't

1245
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: bother burning your time out because you're not no win

1246
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: the challenge that much is clear now. In the NFL. Well,

1247
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: it's not so much that they turned to Noah Fan,

1248
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: it's that they had to turn to Brandon Allen to

1249
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: make that throw. And I think that was a bigger problem.

1250
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: That was probably the bigger problem on that play. Yeah, yeah,

1251
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Allen has been okay stepping in for Joe Flacco,

1252
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: but I think it'd be really interesting. And this is

1253
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily specific to Sunday, but I'll be really interested

1254
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: to see whether the Broncos end up eventually getting some

1255
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: time for Drew Locke, their second round pick out of Missouri.

1256
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: He dealt with a a st injury to put them

1257
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: on IR now has been designated to return. Would be

1258
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: sort of intriguing. To see him get two or three

1259
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: starts at the end of the year. Might give you

1260
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: some some confidence to either plan on starting him next

1261
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: year or might tell you, you know something, we might

1262
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: have to go shopping this offseason for a first round quarterback.

1263
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: I have one more Broncos question for you, and I

1264
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: read a weird report I think it was Jason lack

1265
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: On for this week talked about a rift developing between

1266
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: their new head coach, the veteran VIC fan Joe, and

1267
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: some of the players. And I'm thinking, when I watched

1268
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos a couple of times this week already, I

1269
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: thought these guys are scrampy. They play hard for that coach.

1270
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make all that. Yeah, Well,

1271
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: I saw that several players after the games that I'm

1272
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: sorry what I love Vick Fanjio. I love that guy,

1273
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: and so, you know, I tend to see the same

1274
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: thing that you do a team that is playing rather

1275
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: inspired football. It's just that you know they're not. You know,

1276
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be unkind. But there's not

1277
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: talented enough right now right and they probably know that.

1278
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Some of the star players in that locker room, Von

1279
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Miller and Chris Harris seen better Broncos rosters in the past. Offensively,

1280
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: they're limited because the offensive line remains a major concern

1281
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: for them. Defensively, they don't have quite the same number

1282
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: of playmakers that they had as they have had in

1283
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: the past. But they're tough. They're pretty rugged, and I

1284
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: don't get the sense that Vic Fangio it's sort of

1285
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: lost the locker room. They were gritty last week, and

1286
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: there was a time after a really poor start where

1287
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: it felt like maybe the Bronchos were onto something. You know,

1288
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: they're three and seven now, so a team that seasons

1289
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: not about making the playoffs now. It's about finding out

1290
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: who are the cornerstones that you can build around going forward.

1291
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: But I personally don't see a team that's not responding

1292
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: to the head coaching. They feel that let's move around

1293
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: the league a little bit. Tom Brady apparently not crazy

1294
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: about what the Patriots are doing offensively, and yet they

1295
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: just keep rolling along. Does Brady does he have a beef?

1296
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't know about a beef.

1297
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: It might just be disappointment in himself, right because I

1298
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady himself is leaving yards on the field, and

1299
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: I understand that they're winning. I also understand that he

1300
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: wants to be better and more efficient. And when you're

1301
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: used to and you've got whatever it is, eighteen years

1302
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: of being a high level offense, or maybe more like

1303
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: fifteen years of being a really high level offense, you're

1304
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: probably staying yourself. It's frustrating what we don't go out

1305
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: there and put up, you know, at least thirty points

1306
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: in a given game for the Patriots. They do get

1307
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah win back this week, they're left tackle. That'll help

1308
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: because I feel like a lot of the Patriots issues

1309
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,959
Speaker 1: start with the offensive line. But they've got to figure

1310
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: some things out here. You know, you mentioned how the

1311
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: Bills had sort of their schedule was softer on the

1312
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: front end. And more difficult in the back end. The

1313
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: Patriots are sort of the same way. Their schedules does

1314
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: get stronger as in like the tough, more difficult opponents

1315
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: going forward, but the Patriots, probably of the teams they

1316
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: play going forward, have some more vulnerable defenses they can

1317
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: move the football against. So if the Patriots offense is

1318
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: going to find some mojo, it's going to have to

1319
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: come against these next four or so opponents where the

1320
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: defense it may not be as great on paper, the

1321
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: offenses are really good, but the Patriots offense, you know,

1322
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady himself, needs to build some confidence right now

1323
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: if they want to make a run. I was going

1324
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: to take you out to the West Coast as well.

1325
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: What do you think about Jimmy Garoppolo and Derek Carr.

1326
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Which guy's playing better for their Bay team. That's a

1327
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: good question, I think probably given the context that it's

1328
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:17,439
Speaker 1: hard to say, like I don't want to say Jimmy

1329
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is not playing well enough for the forty niners

1330
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: because they're nine and one, they're right there, But there's

1331
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: been more asked of Derek Carr. Now, their schedule hasn't

1332
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: been super tough for themselves, but I've been pretty impressive.

1333
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. I have to think about all the circumstances

1334
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: and the adversity he's faced over the past year or so. Right,

1335
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: people wondering whether John Gurdon, even one of them on

1336
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: the roster, whether he was the right fit for the

1337
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: team long term. They double some injuries at wide receiver.

1338
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: That's why they've made a number of moves, including acquiring

1339
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Za Jones from the Bills, try to fortify that receiver group.

1340
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Both have been solid. I think I give the edge

1341
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: though to Derek Carr, and you know, Jimmy Garoppolo is

1342
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: going to be really put to the test because over

1343
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,919
Speaker 1: the next three weeks, the forty niner schedule is no joke.

1344
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: They've got, I believe in succession. It goes the Packers

1345
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: this Sunday, and then the Ravens and then the Seahawks.

1346
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: So three very very very good teams they're gonna have

1347
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: to play, and at least one of those games on

1348
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: the road. Field YTSP and NFL Insider and the host

1349
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Focus Football podcast folks have send in

1350
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: their foot their fantasy football questions for you. Field, let

1351
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: me read a few from Twitter JB tweets this in

1352
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: out of these three players, which two should I play

1353
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: in a PPR league? Robert Woods, James White, Emmanuel Sanders.

1354
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the two guys that I think

1355
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: are most healthy, James White and Robert Woods. Manuel Sanders

1356
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: have been banged up. The matchup is not terrible on

1357
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, as long as we get clearance that Robert

1358
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Woods is going to play. He missed the past Sunday

1359
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: Night game with personal or due to personal reasons, I

1360
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: would go with Woods and White. What about this one?

1361
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: Your advice to play Josh Allen three weeks ago? Send

1362
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: her on a three game this person on three game

1363
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: winning streak. She's sitting at six and five. But should

1364
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,919
Speaker 1: she start Devin Singletary or Miles Sanders at her flex

1365
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: position a PPR league. I know the Eagles really need

1366
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: to win on Sunday, but I think I would go

1367
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: with Devin Singletary. Guys, you just look better, just just

1368
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: look better. I know Miles Sanders has been solid in

1369
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: a sort of a variety of ways for the Eagle,

1370
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: has been very good in the passing game, good return

1371
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: men for them. But I think I would go with

1372
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary again, I think the Bills this is a

1373
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: game they could win. Was scoring points on Sunday. This

1374
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: next question on Twitter, I have to read field because

1375
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: it carries in really amazing, amazing manners, really the kind

1376
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: of courtesy you don't get from Twitter very often. Postman

1377
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Pilot says, mister Yates, Please reassure me that I made

1378
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: the correct move by dropping Jared Goff and adding Nick Foles.

1379
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: How do you compare their potential cum fantasy playoffs? I'm

1380
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: second guessing myself. I also have Cousins. I assume the

1381
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: odds you'd sit in for the other two are slim. Thanks.

1382
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Who's that polite on Twitter? Is that like a bot

1383
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,080
Speaker 1: or something both? That was wired the wrong way? A

1384
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: nice things, not mean things. But I completely agree with

1385
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: the decision. By the way, Jared Goff does not need

1386
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: to be roster in fantasy football right now. The Rams

1387
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: offense is in a major funk at the moment, and

1388
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: the schedule they play does not get necessarily easier. Nick

1389
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 1: Foles would be my preference to play this week, and

1390
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: then my preference to have as your backup to Kirk Cousins,

1391
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: who has been lights out of late for Minnesota. They're

1392
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: going to buy this week, but it's incredibly polite person.

1393
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: My answer is when Kirk Cousins comes back in week thirteen,

1394
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: he's your starter. But if he's got a bad matchup

1395
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: or he starts to fade, then you have Nick Foles

1396
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: waiting in the wing. All right, there, here's one from George.

1397
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: This is a PPR flex option. Which of the two

1398
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd versus Chicago or Tevin Coleman versus Green Bay.

1399
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: I think this one's going to be made easy for

1400
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: you because if Sterling Shepherd plays, I'd go with Shepherd.

1401
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play, and although he's been a full

1402
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: participant in practice twice this week, Sterling Shepherd, many will

1403
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: recall a few weeks back, was cleared from the concussion protocol,

1404
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: announced is off the injury report, and then on Sunday

1405
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: around twelve thirty that day he was announced to be

1406
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: out because he even put back in the concussion protocol

1407
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: for the Giants game against the Lions, I believe Monday

1408
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: Night football. It was so if Shepherd plays, and that's

1409
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: an I Shepherd's the answer. If not simple, go to Coleman. Phil.

1410
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, Thank you, for joining us. We'll catch

1417
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,560

1419

1431
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 1: on the line, Matt John Murphy's team tasker. We were saying,

1432
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't think we've talked to you since the combine.

1433
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: That's a long time ago. Thanks for coming on with

1434
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: us here today. Yeah, it's been a while, but I'm

1435
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: glad you guys got me back. And that's cool to

1436
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: you having Mike on later. I'm a Hawk too. That's right.

1437
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 1: There you go. We're staying full in full Iowa mode.

1438
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: Important important things. First, how did your high school team

1439
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: do this year? Oh, well, we just got knocked out.

1440
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: Oh we had a good run, though we won games

1441
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: this year. We have lost the state quarterfinals on the

1442
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 1: road up at a school called Richard Burton, and Steven

1443
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: know that it was old school. I mean it smelled

1444
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: all week here and I don't think there was a

1445
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: blady grass up in the field. But at the end

1446
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: of the day, so old school game physical. But they're

1447
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: a good football team and they deserve to win that game.

1448
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: And you know I told their seniors afterwards, you know,

1449
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm I already missed, you know, I missed not being

1450
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: at practice this week. But they had a great run

1451
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: those seniors league with three state title routes in this program.

1452
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: That's awesome. That's awesome, man. It does bring back a

1453
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: lot of memories for me too, back in the planes

1454
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: in ar Kansas when I grew up as well. We

1455
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: gotta guys with who grew up out West as well

1456
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: and played his college football out there. Josh Allen's AFC

1457
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week. Did he show you anything

1458
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: special or different or more than he has in passed weeks, Matt,

1459
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: I just think he had real command of the offense.

1460
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: And you know he's played very well against Miami. You know,

1461
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: in this two years in the league, he played very

1462
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: well against Miami, especially down there. You go back to

1463
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: the take from last year down at Miami. I think

1464
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: he had commanded the offense. I think was a great

1465
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: game script and how the Buffalo coaching staff managed that

1466
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: call sheet throughout out the day because you saw everything.

1467
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: I think that really caters to what Josh does best

1468
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the play action, the run, pass options,

1469
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: taking a couple of shots down the field, getting him

1470
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,719
Speaker 1: on the move, and then what I always say about

1471
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: Josh down and I wrote about Josh lass. I got

1472
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: to post you re ranking the twenty eighteen quarterback class.

1473
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: I had him a number two, right behind Lamar Jackson

1474
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 1: because of how Buffalo maximizing his strengths. And in addition

1475
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: to that with Josh, you always get both. Greg and

1476
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: I have matchup show called second reaction ability, and that's

1477
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: when a play breaks down when your first and second

1478
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: read isn't there or you get pressure. His ability to

1479
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: get outside the pocket and make plays. That's also in

1480
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,560
Speaker 1: addition to some quarterback design runs he saw also in

1481
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,799
Speaker 1: that games. I thought it was a great game script.

1482
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. I posted this play on

1483
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Twitter earlier the week get throw he had to John

1484
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Brown down the sideline. It was one of the best

1485
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: throws I've seen this season from any quarterbacks. And that's

1486
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 1: why arm talent does matter in certain situations. Are you

1487
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: bought with an absolute rocket down the side? Yeah? Are

1488
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 1: you bothered by the fact that he's got fifteen rushing

1489
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: touchdowns in two years and he runs for the touchdowns

1490
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,600
Speaker 1: he does? Is that a plus or minus? Does he

1491
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 1: do it too much? Does he do it not enough?

1492
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: How do you think that fits in to his game?

1493
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: Certainly as part of his total package. I think it is,

1494
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: and I think as a coach, you want to cater

1495
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: to that within reason. You know, I don't think you

1496
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: want Josh carring the ball fifteen times a game. I don't.

1497
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: But can you sprinkling enough quarterback runs and especially inside

1498
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: the plus ten yard line, I think it's a great

1499
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: that's a great time to use quarterback design runs or

1500
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: RPOs because you get plus one. You get plus one

1501
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: at the point of attack because now your quarterbacks carrying

1502
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: the football and he has the size, athleticism, the speed,

1503
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 1: especially if you run a quarterback design runs on the

1504
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: edge of the formation. But also that goes back to

1505
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: the or just talking market the second reaction plays because

1506
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: if it's not there, he can do that for you

1507
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,560
Speaker 1: and not just extend to play, but also tuck the

1508
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 1: ball down and run. And I know that everyone says, well,

1509
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 1: you have to protect quarterbacks. I've always say quarterbacks can

1510
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: get her thrown in the pocket as well. And you're

1511
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: seeing down in Baltimore right now with Lamark Jackson and

1512
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,560
Speaker 1: the impact he's had an opposing defense is because I

1513
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: can tell you as a former defensive player, when you

1514
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: face a quarterback with high end athletic pricks like Josh Hunt,

1515
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: plus quarterback rounds, plus his ability to scramble, it really

1516
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: impacts what you can do. From a defensive perspective. There

1517
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 1: are certain coverages you really don't want to run. You

1518
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 1: don't want to be in two man with two deep,

1519
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: says Saves. He's a man under technique underneath because if

1520
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,759
Speaker 1: he pulls the ball down, that's an automatic ten yards

1521
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: right there. Cover one. You have to be careful when

1522
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 1: you pressure, you have to be careful, so it does

1523
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: impact defenses. I want to get you back, man if

1524
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: I could to the forty yard touchdown passed John Brown

1525
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: that you said one of the best servers you've seen.

1526
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: I try to make this point the Steven on the

1527
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: show here Monday. I didn't explain it as articulately as

1528
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: you just had, But that's the kind of thing that

1529
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills can work with Josh and get

1530
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: him to be, you know, see the field better and

1531
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: make better decisions all that stuff, and that's all important.

1532
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: But there are certain innate characteristics he has that to

1533
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: make him, you know, really an interesting prospect. And I

1534
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 1: thought it was on display on that fort yard touchdown,

1535
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 1: didn't you yeah, and you guys know better than me.

1536
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: But on the film, it looked like he checked to

1537
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: something at the line of scrimmage, and he might have

1538
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: checked to that play, which tells you he's see in

1539
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: the field and also mechanics are about to drop. He

1540
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: looks to the field side of the formation because he

1541
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: knows he has covered two, and he gets a little

1542
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: shoulder look, you know, a little pump fake with the football.

1543
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: And I've been in that situation as a deep pass

1544
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: safe you start to weave in your pedal and slide inside.

1545
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 1: But I'm not safe. He's off the landmark and a

1546
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: landmark and cover two and on the top of the numbers.

1547
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: And if you're not on the top of the numbers

1548
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: versus a quarterback with the arm talent of Josh Allen,

1549
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: you're not getting to that ball. You're not. And he

1550
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: put that ball on a line. Like I said, it

1551
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,759
Speaker 1: was a rocket throw, got over the top of the corner,

1552
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,759
Speaker 1: going to get it to one of your explosive plays

1553
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: weapons and John Brown's on the sideline. So that was

1554
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: a good look at a young quarterback processing, seeing the

1555
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 1: field and using his traits to make a big play.

1556
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: But one of the most consistent weapons he's had has

1557
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 1: been John Brown throughout the season. He's got fifty yards

1558
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 1: of receiving every game this season at least. What are

1559
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: your thoughts about John Brown and how good he could be,

1560
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: how much the Bills are possibly going to rely on him?

1561
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: Is he up to that? Do you think I think

1562
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:29,560
Speaker 1: he is, because I think he's a prime fifth for

1563
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 1: what they do often. Everyone knows he has the deep

1564
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,640
Speaker 1: ball speed. But also you know, you look at their

1565
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: film and how many isolation routes they run with them.

1566
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is play ass and throw

1567
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: the deep out playsh and until they comeback the curl,

1568
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, the inbreaking routes, use the deep crosses. There's

1569
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: so many ways they can get him the football really

1570
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: intermediate to deep, and I think that's kind of sweet spot,

1571
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, And I wrote about this last week with

1572
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 1: Josh that's where he makes his best strokes and the

1573
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 1: twenty yards down the field. If you look at the

1574
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: numbers and in terms of area yards for target and

1575
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: when he has the best completion percentage, he's in the

1576
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: top ten in the NFL in that area of the

1577
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: FIA where Josh struggle sometimes is on the quick game throwers.

1578
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's because still early in his career

1579
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: and he saw this from the college as well. He

1580
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: can be at times a one speed thrower, and when

1581
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: you're a one speed thrower, sometimes he miss. You know,

1582
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:24,600
Speaker 1: you put so much heat on the football that you

1583
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: miss on slants, you miss on unders. That's where he

1584
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: has to improve. But in that ten to twenty yard

1585
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: range where I think John Brown is a great fit

1586
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: in terms of the Buffalo route tree, he could be

1587
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: very productive for this offense down the stretch. With Matt Bowen,

1588
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: former NFL safety, he is now co host of ESPN's

1589
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: NFL Matchup, I have another Bills question for you, and yes,

1590
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: thirty seven points. Things look great Josh afc offensive Player

1591
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 1: of the Week. But where's the area that the Bills

1592
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: need to improve on offensively? Matt sort of a I

1593
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: guess a wide ranging question, but half a dozen games left,

1594
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: what should they look to be doing better on offense?

1595
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: Do you think? Well? I mentioned the quick game. I

1596
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: think that needs improve more higher percentage throws for Josh,

1597
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: I think he can improve in that area. I think

1598
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: what you're seeing now is the impact of Devin Singletary. Okay,

1599
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: because I go back to Devin Singletary and there's none

1600
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 1: of his college film a lot at FAU. You know,

1601
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: he's an electric tal in terms of his footwork, his

1602
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: later ability, his short area of speed. What I'd like

1603
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,640
Speaker 1: to see there is more production from him in the

1604
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: passing game because I think that could be an added

1605
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: dynamic to your offense down the stretch if you can

1606
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: threaten out the back geld with Devin Singletary. And you

1607
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 1: see throughout the season he's made plays in the passing game,

1608
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 1: but I think more volume to defen Singletary. Also Dawson Knock.

1609
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: You know we're talking about young players. Think about how

1610
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: young this offeners really is with Josh Devin Singletary, Dawson

1611
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Knox another young player, but Dawson Knock going back to

1612
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: his college, the not a ton of production in terms

1613
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: of volume of targets. But I think the athletic traits

1614
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: are there. I think the speed is there, and he

1615
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: can be another weapon for them by middle of the

1616
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 1: field throws what we're talking about right here, Devin Singletary,

1617
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,680
Speaker 1: more high percentives to throw screens, checkdown, so getting him

1618
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: involved in combination rolephs out of the backfield that are

1619
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:11,759
Speaker 1: easier throws for Josh to move the sixth and yards

1620
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: after to catch the same thing with Dawston knock. Because

1621
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: there are two players right there now, you're asking a

1622
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: lot from you on the players that this is a

1623
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 1: young football team that can really increase their role. And

1624
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 1: obviously I'm not calling plays for Bills, understand that, but

1625
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: if I was, those are two guys that really want

1626
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: to get involved on the stretch. Let's talk a little

1627
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: bit about the Bills. Next topponent, the Denver Broncos. They've

1628
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,680
Speaker 1: got their own running back in Philip Lindsay talked to

1629
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: us about what his strengths are and about this Denver offense.

1630
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: Of course, with Brandon Allen at quarterback, it looks a

1631
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: little different than it did with Joe Flacco. What are

1632
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: your thoughts, Yeah, it does look different. You have young

1633
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 1: quarterback in there, and you know last week's game was

1634
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm the Bills defensively, you have to

1635
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 1: be prepared for everything. You know, last week they ran

1636
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,680
Speaker 1: some gadget plays and reverse patches, they ran a lot

1637
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 1: of stuff. You're you know, you get that late in

1638
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: the season, Steve, you know that in the NFL teams

1639
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: are out of it. They're gonna try some things. You know,

1640
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: they've got nothing to lose. Um, you know, Brandon Allen Is.

1641
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job in that offense. Uh,

1642
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think he's a high level thrower. Again,

1643
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: as a young player, that's kind of just thrown into

1644
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: the mix. But they do have some offensive Weaton Scorton Sutton,

1645
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 1: I've been really impressed with him. But I remember Cortland

1646
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: Sutton coming out of out of SMU in college and

1647
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, real high end athletic tricks in

1648
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: terms of size, straight line speed on the field. You know,

1649
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: a limited rob Tree at SMU. He's really developed quickly.

1650
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: He's a deep ball thrick. He can run after the catch.

1651
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: You mentioned Till Lindsay, Bill Lindsay. Uh, you know, he

1652
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: can shake you inside of a phone booth. His footwork

1653
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 1: is exceptional, and he's a physical player with a smaller frame.

1654
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: You really have to square him up on tackles. But

1655
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 1: I think those are those two key players of that

1656
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: offense right now. And Noah Fan obviously, no I'm a

1657
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: Noah Fan is an Iowa. I'm just like me, Noah

1658
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,080
Speaker 1: Fan is you know, a slot tight end. That's what

1659
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: he is. I mean, he's a tight endy who can

1660
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: run the entire route trade and his volume is going

1661
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: up in terms of the targets, and he has explosive

1662
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: play and ability. So it'll be interesting to see how

1663
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo game plans for him. But I don't think much

1664
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: will change. When you watch the Bills defensively, they're one

1665
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: of the most fundamentally sound defenses in the NFL. That's

1666
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 1: what they all. You know, they're not super creative. You know,

1667
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 1: they're not center pressure, you know, rushing people out of

1668
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 1: the stands or anything like that. They do what they do.

1669
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: They tackle well. They put a top on the secondary

1670
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: in the back end to try to limit explosive place

1671
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 1: and they can engineer pressure when they have to. And

1672
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: more importantly, they tackle. I mean, the best defenses in

1673
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: the NFL tackle, and you see that a lot from

1674
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,639
Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense. Man. I want to ask you about

1675
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense and the stat they came up from

1676
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: your group at the ESPN NFL matchup. And look, I

1677
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: said this on our show a couple of days ago.

1678
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: People might be surprised to hear the Bills are seventh

1679
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: in the league right now in sack percentage, you guys

1680
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: went deeper and you have a stat about disrupted drop

1681
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: back percentage. Can you talk about that and where the

1682
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: Bills rank there? Pretty highly ranked in that. You're right,

1683
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,600
Speaker 1: the trupted drop back. You know, that's something when I

1684
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 1: was in Washington when Greg Williams their defense quarter that's

1685
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: how we track production. So obviously everyone wants to get that,

1686
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: and we get that that's that's great. But if you

1687
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 1: can disrupt the quarterback, if you can put a hit

1688
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, if you can just disrupt the throw,

1689
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: if you can tip a pass, if you can move

1690
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: them off the spot and make him extend the play

1691
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: and throw the football to bounce, that's still a win

1692
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: for your defense, that's still a win. And Buffalo is

1693
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: ranked very high in there. You know, one thing Buffalo

1694
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: does that I think is great is what they did

1695
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: from a pre snap alignment perspective. You see those linebackers

1696
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:42,600
Speaker 1: walked up into a gaps, you know, and when you

1697
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 1: see that as a quarterback, you don't really know what

1698
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: you're getting. They do an excellent job at rotating postman

1699
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: that includes the linebackers to the secondary Micah hid can

1700
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 1: show down that he's covering a tight end, the ball

1701
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: snapped and he's playing cover too. That is an extremely

1702
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: hard technique to do. It's hard to teach. You have

1703
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: to have very smart football players and very versusile football

1704
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 1: players in your back seven, and that's what you have

1705
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 1: right now in Buffalo. That's why they can use all

1706
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: the pre snapped disguises and get back to their fundamental

1707
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 1: core coverage. Again, it's about presentation. You don't have to look.

1708
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:18,600
Speaker 1: You're not going to recreate football. I've always said this,

1709
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: and I might have said that you guys before. There's

1710
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 1: only so much you can do with eleven guys in

1711
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:25,719
Speaker 1: the field. So you know everyone who pretty much plays

1712
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 1: the same stuff. It's how you present it and how

1713
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 1: you execute that. That's why they're one of the better

1714
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: defenses to yourself. What does it say about the Bills

1715
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 1: defense they've got Well, you said it takes eleven guys,

1716
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: but they've got more than eleven guys with a sack

1717
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: this season. It's got They've got like sixteen guys who

1718
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: have actually helped him get the quarterback on the ground.

1719
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: What's that say about the philosophy of the Bills defense

1720
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: and is it good or bad? If you were playing

1721
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: on the defense, what would it tell you about yourself?

1722
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: That everyone plays a role and that's a great thing

1723
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 1: you have, and that means you go you go deep

1724
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: into your death chart that you have a rotation upfront.

1725
01:21:58,360 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: Do you have guys who can blitz out of the

1726
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: second arry and blitz in the second level? You know,

1727
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: and Greg's setting this before you guys. You know, Buffalo

1728
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have you know, Jerry Hughes is very good rushings.

1729
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,200
Speaker 1: They don't have a dominant edd crushing you know, they

1730
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: don't have and Aaron Donald inside you know, or Khalil

1731
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: Mack on the edge, or if one guy who's going

1732
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: it gets you twelve to fifteen sacks of the season.

1733
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: It's a collective group of pass rushers. One from a

1734
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:24,560
Speaker 1: defensive coach perspective, you're coaching the defensive line. You have

1735
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 1: a deep rotation of guys who can rotate it. And

1736
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 1: especially late in the season when it's all about pad level,

1737
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: it's all about injuries, it's all about your conditioning level

1738
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 1: that starts to drop a little bit late in the

1739
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: season as your body starts to wear it down. You

1740
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: need those guys to make a run and you get

1741
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: into the postseason. Hey man, we're big fans of NFL

1742
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: Matchup thanks to Greg every week and we're happy to

1743
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: talk with you again. Hope we can do it again sometime.

1744
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I really love the show, and thank you for carving

1745
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: out a few minutes to be with us here today.

1746
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: All Right, guys, thank you very much. You have a

1747
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: great week. Thanks Matt. Matt Bowen, host of ESPN's NFL Matchup,

1748
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: You'll see it this weekend. He co hosts that with

1749
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: our buddy Great Cosell On Friday's played seven years in

1750
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: the league at safety and spent the sixth season with

1751
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. A lot of good things to say

1752
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: about the Bills, a lot of interesting things too about

1753
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen, right, um, and you know what I

1754
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: like when I asked him about where can they get better?

1755
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: And he focused on two guys, Devin Singletary Gosson Knox,

1756
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: two young guys, two rookies who he thinks that could

1757
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 1: be the area of improvement moving forward the final third

1758
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 1: of the season. And he also thought philosophically, the Bills

1759
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: need to get better in their quick passing games. Now

1760
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: the ball comes out of Josh's hands, and he said too.

1761
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: And we've noticed this as well. It seems like Josh,

1762
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, throws it little too little, too fat, little

1763
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 1: too much velocity on those quick throws. Also, it also

1764
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 1: seems to me those are the throws he seems to hurry,

1765
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: and they come out a little bit more inaccurate than

1766
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: the other throws we've seen him. I mean that throw

1767
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: he made to John Brown and some of the other

1768
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: throws he's made when they're ten He made this point

1769
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: as well. Josh is a really good ten to twenty

1770
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: yards down the field. He never seems to hurry those throws.

1771
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 1: He puts velocity on him, no question, But when he

1772
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:00,639
Speaker 1: sees those quick games on it, he gets too quick

1773
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: with them sometimes and they come out a little bit inaccurately.

1774
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 1: And I think if that game, if that quick game

1775
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: does come around, I think the offense would take a

1776
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: step forward. All right, we gotta break care. Mike Hide's

1777
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 1: going to join us when practice sends. That should be momentarily.

1778

01:25:58,400 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: I can do it. I know you can hear me.

1816
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 1: Here we go from the tweet sheet from Nick. He says,

1817
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 1: I think we'll win three more games. The Broncos, Steelers,

1818
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: and Jets are teams we should beat. It's possible that

1819
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 1: we lose one of those games, but I think it's

1820
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: equally possible that we get an upset win against the Ravens,

1821
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys or Patriots. Either way, it will balance out to

1822
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: three wins. So if he thinks, if we're gonna get

1823
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: an upset whin, we're gonna drop one of the ones,

1824
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: we should win. Okay, here you go. Jeremiah tweets in

1825
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 1: four plus regardless of who they just played, the Dolphins

1826
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: game will provide a boosting confidence for Josh and he's

1827
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: the engine that drives the team. You know, I've been

1828
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: thinking about that, Steve. Jeremiah brings it kind of reminds

1829
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: me of it that I had that thought. You know

1830
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: how I am. I thinking about the Bills essentially all

1831
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 1: week long. But yeah, we know who they beat, we

1832
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: know how bad the Dolphins are. I went into the

1833
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: game thinking they're gonna score thirty, They're gonna roll these guys,

1834
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: and they did. And what does it mean? It's only

1835
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:52,799
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Okay, but things came together last week against

1836
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: an inferior opponent. But things came together and in kind

1837
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: of an important way, especially for the Buffalo offense. Does

1838
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 1: that carry over, that confidence boost, that knowledge that hey,

1839
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 1: we can do this. I think there is a carryover effect.

1840
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: I think Jeremiah is kind of right about that, and

1841
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 1: in my experience thinking back on it, it's you're getting

1842
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: a long time ago. But you do get a little

1843
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: bit of a boost from a win like that when

1844
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 1: you come out and you're convincing on both sides of

1845
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 1: the football, when you do good, do things well, you

1846
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 1: both schematically and physically. You came in with the right attitude,

1847
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: You jumped on him and you and you, you didn't

1848
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 1: let up, and it was four quarters of really good football.

1849
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 1: What it does for you is brings you back to

1850
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: work the next week enthusiastic. You're not getting ready to

1851
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: play again, and that enthusiasm and your preparation makes you

1852
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: even better prepared for the next game. Now I'm not

1853
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 1: saying you still have you still have to get your

1854
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: You still have to get your mind right and come

1855
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: out with you know, with the right attitude like you

1856
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: always do, and every game is different, but it does

1857
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: set you up for a great week of preparation. When

1858
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 1: you come off a win like that, you feel good

1859
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: about your preparation, you feel confident that it's making you better,

1860
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: and that growth mindset that's always you know, echoed around

1861
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 1: this building becomes important. And that's how you get better

1862
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,799
Speaker 1: from games. Like that. It gives you enthusiasm to prepare

1863
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: and that's what you know, that face we all know

1864
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 1: that's what makes you better, is the preparation. Yeah, Michael

1865

01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,920

Speaker 1: appreach it. Thanks for having always I was practice. It

1875
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 1: was good. It was good, you know, flying around having phone.

1876
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 1: We're outside wasn't too cold, so um, you know it's

1877
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 1: pretty good. We had a live hit. It looked cold.

1878
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 1: It always looks right now. It looks kind of everybody's

1879
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 1: bundled up, man, like you gotta go out them prepare

1880
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:27,639
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be freezing. But it wasn't. It wasn't

1881
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 1: too I got hot out there and Mike and we

1882
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:31,120
Speaker 1: were wondering just before he came on last segment about

1883
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 1: look at you beat the Bills beat the Dolphins handily, right,

1884
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: seventeen points a good win. Um, is there a carryover effect?

1885
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 1: Like all the things that kind of came together in

1886
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,120
Speaker 1: that game, even against you know, Miami kind of a

1887
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 1: lesser like team, probably set you up well for at

1888
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: least thinking confidently about what your team is capable of.

1889
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:49,600
Speaker 1: But I think you always gonna have confidence in this

1890
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,200
Speaker 1: league to do something good. Um, you know, I feel

1891
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 1: like it gave us some confidence at the end of

1892
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 1: the day. You know, that's just that's that's the game.

1893
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: That's the one game you played in the past. So

1894
01:29:58,120 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, we got a good appointment opponent coming in

1895
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,679
Speaker 1: Sunday in the Denver Broncos, and um, you know, they're

1896
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 1: not going to care about our confidence at all. You know,

1897
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 1: we gotta go out there and and um, you know

1898
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 1: play that. They're gonna play their best and we gotta

1899
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 1: play our best. You and Jordan poor year if you

1900
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:12,240
Speaker 1: come quite the duo back there. In fact, you had

1901
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,200
Speaker 1: a visitor this week. Ed Reid came in and did

1902
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: a story with you. You guys had a conversation with

1903
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,599
Speaker 1: You guys have got a reputation all over the league

1904
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:21,680
Speaker 1: for the way you played together. And Ed was kind

1905
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 1: of a guy who you kind of get like he

1906
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 1: was the lone sheriff back there. But you guys have

1907
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 1: become known for being really difficult to decipher and all that.

1908
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 1: What did Ed have to say? What did you get

1909
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 1: out of that conversation? How wasn't to spend time with

1910
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:35,560
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? Oh, it was amazing. It was

1911
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 1: amazing him coming in having a conversation with us. Um.

1912
01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:40,679
Speaker 1: You know, honestly, me and Poel walked away walked away

1913
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 1: with it a lot of confidence. You know. He gave

1914
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 1: us some some tips and some clues and what to

1915
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: do throughout the week to you know, try to prepare

1916
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 1: yourself better, you know, come Sunday. But um, we walked

1917
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: away with so much confidence just because he was telling us, Man,

1918
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:54,560
Speaker 1: you gotta go out there and play free. You know,

1919
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 1: obviously watched film, you put all the study in throughout

1920
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:58,560
Speaker 1: the week, which we do. Um, and then when you

1921
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 1: go out there on Sunday, Man, it's it's your time

1922
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: to play. You're not worried about you know who's at

1923
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:04,800
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, not saying we do, but

1924
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,639
Speaker 1: you know it's got there and play free. And um,

1925
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, it was good to hear that from from

1926
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 1: a Hall of famer. Not that Edreid needed any more credibility,

1927
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: but I saw him at at your Cleveland game. He

1928
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: talked to him briefly, and I thought going to the

1929
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:17,640
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame has given him kind of a new

1930
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:19,799
Speaker 1: sense of himself, Edreid, you know what I mean, He's

1931
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 1: you weren't here and he was here for a year,

1932
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 1: but he knows how what a role he plays in

1933
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 1: the history of the game and how people listening to him.

1934
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 1: It's kind of impressive. And that's why it was so

1935
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 1: it was so cool to you know, it's like just

1936
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:31,600
Speaker 1: here to hear you know what he had to say. Um,

1937
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we talked to our coaches all the

1938
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,519
Speaker 1: time around here and how we can get better, but

1939
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 1: hearing it from a player like him, um, and coming

1940
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 1: in and you know he mentioned, you know, me and

1941
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:41,599
Speaker 1: Pobi and one of the best safety duos and we're

1942
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 1: just like looking anture, Like that's Ed Reid saying. You know,

1943
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:46,639
Speaker 1: he's watching film and he's he knows what we're doing.

1944
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:48,720
Speaker 1: You know, are disguising and stuff like that. He gave us,

1945
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, um some credit about that, So it was

1946
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 1: it was very good to hear. Yeah, and he's one

1947
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:56,280
Speaker 1: of those guys that, because of his credibility and because

1948
01:31:56,320 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 1: of his reputation as a guy who prepares um does

1949
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,719
Speaker 1: it kind of I guess it is kind of inspiring

1950
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 1: for you and Jordan to say, you know what, you

1951
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:08,680
Speaker 1: gotta keep on keeping on and it's a strife for

1952
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 1: better things. Ed was a guy who was known to

1953
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 1: go off the page once in a while. Yeah. So yeah,

1954
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:15,479
Speaker 1: I mean I just think off that, you know, me

1955
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 1: and Poe, I think we do a good job of

1956
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: not just us too, but the whole defense, the whole

1957
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:21,680
Speaker 1: the whole team is keep pushing forward. You know. I

1958
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: think that when we have a good game, when I

1959
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 1: have a good game, Poe the first person to say, hey,

1960
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 1: keep keep going, keep going. When Poe has a good game,

1961
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 1: on the same same way, you know, we just we

1962
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:31,760
Speaker 1: we tried to to push each other because we know,

1963
01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, if we can push each other or push

1964
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 1: anybody on this defense or whoever it may be, on

1965
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:37,679
Speaker 1: the team, that you know we're gonna be We're gonna

1966
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 1: be a better football team because of it. And so

1967
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of the mindset that we have. And Mica

1968
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:43,639
Speaker 1: we Um just a minute ago had another former NFL

1969
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,680
Speaker 1: and Iowa safety on the show and he brought up you.

1970
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 1: We didn't bring you up, but he brought up you

1971
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 1: and Jordan and doing what you just described, disguising coverage.

1972
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 1: It's sort of becoming your your your trump card that

1973
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 1: you guys play back there, right, you do it as

1974
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:57,680
Speaker 1: well as anybody in the league. We tried to, you know,

1975
01:32:57,840 --> 01:32:59,640
Speaker 1: with with the likes of Sean you know, coming in

1976
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:01,760
Speaker 1: and and giving us some some tips on how to

1977
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:04,719
Speaker 1: um you know, be opposing quarterbacks and offenses and stuff

1978
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 1: like that, and then you know, it just trickles down

1979
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:08,720
Speaker 1: from it from there. But it's a chess match out there,

1980
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:10,880
Speaker 1: you know. Sometimes you want to show what you're in. UM.

1981
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 1: Quarterback might think you're you're you're switching it up on them, UM,

1982
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:16,160
Speaker 1: but you're not. You're actually just showing it. Sometimes you

1983
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,040
Speaker 1: want to, you know, uh, show a different coverage and

1984
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:20,680
Speaker 1: get to something. So there's a lot of stuff that

1985
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 1: we practice them and and honestly it starts in practice.

1986
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 1: We do a lot of things out on that practice

1987
01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 1: field that, um, we don't do on the game field

1988
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,519
Speaker 1: because it's sometimes it don't work, and you know, maybe

1989
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 1: we'll give up a practice, give up a pass and

1990
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,840
Speaker 1: practice because we're you know, over disguising and we just

1991
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 1: look at each other like, yeah, we're not doing that

1992
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 1: in the game. Man Bet just described to play. I

1993
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,479
Speaker 1: think he saw it in the Bills Dolphins game where

1994
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 1: he said, you came up as if you're going to

1995
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 1: cover the tight end and then drop back to cover two.

1996
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 1: He said, that's hard to do. It's hard to give

1997
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: a pre snap look like that and disguise it and

1998
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 1: drop back into cover two like that, and it screws

1999
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 1: quarterbacks out. Yeah. Yeah, you know you're showing one high

2000
01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:55,800
Speaker 1: they heard and get to you know, cover two. Um, yeah,

2001
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 1: it can be difficult for for quarterbacks and for you know,

2002
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,599
Speaker 1: receivers that are you know, possibly running running routes depending

2003
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:03,879
Speaker 1: on the coverages. So you and Jordan run the secondary

2004
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 1: in the game, say you now, for this last game,

2005
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 1: you split at the other cornerback. Levi and Kevin Johnson

2006
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 1: both came in and how have they handled that? How

2007
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 1: has that gone? How's Levi handled it? How's Kevin Johnson

2008
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 1: handlet and what's it mean. Yeah, we are both competitors. Um,

2009
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 1: I think that whenever you have competition with which we

2010
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 1: do throughout the whole secondary secondary and throughout the whole defense.

2011
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: You know, mas guy's play better and you saw both

2012
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:26,840
Speaker 1: of them had had good games just because they're out

2013
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,679
Speaker 1: there competing, um, you know, against opposing teams and they're

2014
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, competing for a job. So um, you know

2015
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: it's it's good to see that. But at the end

2016
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:35,639
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, we're all out there competing

2017
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,439
Speaker 1: for jobs. And it's not just them too. We understand that.

2018
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:40,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a business. You gotta go out there,

2019
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 1: you gotta compete, you gotta hold your own and you know,

2020
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 1: as long as we do that will be fine. Hey,

2021
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 1: my guy, there was a lot made post game Sunday

2022
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:50,000
Speaker 1: in Miami about Tremaine Edmunds Saturday night speech to the team.

2023
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:52,720
Speaker 1: What did you take from that? And um, what kind

2024
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:54,559
Speaker 1: of impact can can a young guy step on up

2025
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:58,200
Speaker 1: like that? Half he I just think Maine is since

2026
01:34:58,320 --> 01:35:01,719
Speaker 1: day one, Um, that guys stepped in and and worked

2027
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 1: his worked just behind off, you know, just really just

2028
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:08,800
Speaker 1: he's humble, humble kid. Um, good heart, comes from a

2029
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:11,800
Speaker 1: good family. Um. And you know throughout the conversations we

2030
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 1: had the last couple of years. You know, I think

2031
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 1: that me Maine, Poe, Milano, you know, the the nickel position, Tarn.

2032
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:20,439
Speaker 1: We all communicate a lot on the field and even

2033
01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 1: off the field when I'm watching film. So I know

2034
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 1: what type of leader he is. I know what type

2035
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: of you know a player he you know player he is,

2036
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:28,400
Speaker 1: and what he brings to this football team. But I

2037
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 1: think it was good for a lot of guys, um,

2038
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:32,559
Speaker 1: you know, to to hear him speak the other day

2039
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 1: in the hotel, just because they you know, guys on

2040
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 1: offense don't hear just hear him do that. So I

2041
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,720
Speaker 1: think Josh hand so it was eye opening for a

2042
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:43,639
Speaker 1: lot of the guys. But you know, like I said,

2043
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 1: since day one, yeah, I don't I don't care if

2044
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:47,439
Speaker 1: he was twenty years old when he got in this building.

2045
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:49,360
Speaker 1: That he he has a presence when he walks in

2046
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 1: the room, not just because he's six seven, but but

2047
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:54,600
Speaker 1: because you know, he just brings that presence, that that

2048
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 1: that um, that competitor, that guy you want to play

2049
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 1: with and he knows his football. Yeah, And I want

2050
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: to ask as well. You get this defense has been

2051
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 1: the engine of the team. I mean the offensive line.

2052
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 1: You guys are in top five defense. You're a lead,

2053
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: and you know you've done a ton of cool stuff defensively.

2054
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:14,599
Speaker 1: Now you've got a quarterback who's the AFC's Offensive Player

2055
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 1: of the week. What's the conversation like on your side

2056
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:18,599
Speaker 1: of the ball, And now it's like, wow, those guys.

2057
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:20,800
Speaker 1: You know, those guys have stepped it up. They scored

2058
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven points. Now it's got to give you a

2059
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,880
Speaker 1: boost knowing that maybe under the hood somewhere there is

2060
01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 1: an offense that can really score points. And it gives you, guys,

2061
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: I gotta give you a lot more confidence going in

2062
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 1: these last six Yeah, well, we have a lot of

2063
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:34,080
Speaker 1: confidence them in the first place. You know, we were

01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 1: we know what type of guys that have on that

2067
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball, and we have nothing

2068
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 1: but confidence in them. Um, it was good to see,

2069
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: like I said, you know, giving them confidence going out

2070

01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:30,599
Speaker 1: I was gonna win again, and yeah, and we'll be excited.

2114
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 1: It turns into a great weekend. Jim Kelly's golf terms

2115
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 1: the next day and and his Gallas that night, and

2116
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,479
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys show up at both things

2117
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:38,760
Speaker 1: and vice verst hit. It really turns into a really

2118
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 1: nice weekend for Buffalo. It's great to have you doing

2119
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:43,120
Speaker 1: it again. Thank you. And the more immediate future. Sunday,

2120
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 1: the Broncos come here. Three wins, we know, but they've

2121
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:48,160
Speaker 1: got some weapons. Courtland Sutton, Noah fan. They've got some

2122
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 1: players on offense, they really do. They really do. Those

2123
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 1: those guys some some freaks. You see it. They stick

2124
01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 1: out on film. Um, you know the quarterbacks stowing the

2125
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: ball up there, they're going to get it. Break and

2126
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 1: tackle is hard to bring down. So it see me

2127
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 1: another challenge for us, you know, that's all I have

2128
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:01,920
Speaker 1: been an NFL player each and every week. You're gonna

2129
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 1: go out there and have to uh play against more

2130
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: and more weapons and you got to be consistent and

2131
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 1: be able to you know, shut them down. Good luck man,

2132
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Thanks one piece like I hide Bill Safey

2133
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 1: Micah hide the news from One Bill Drive. Today, Josh

2134
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:15,960
Speaker 1: Hammon named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for

2135
01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 1: his performance against the Dolphins, and he talked about it

2136
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 1: today when he met with the media. Good to be honored. UM,

2137
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 1: I really don't care about the individual accolades and all

2138
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 1: that stuff. UM, but I do believe that this is

2139
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:33,720
Speaker 1: a it's a team award, um, definitely. You know, it

2140
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:37,240
Speaker 1: takes ten other guys on the football field to make

2141
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:39,719
Speaker 1: something like this happens. So UM, you know, I applaud

2142
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 1: our guys for how they played on Sunday. Um. You know,

2143
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 1: ultimately we got to number seven. Now, folks on trying

2144
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: to get to number eight. The success on Sunday was

2145
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 1: a product to response or question Harry from Sean to say,

2146
01:39:58,000 --> 01:39:59,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we wanted to go out there,

2147
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:02,440
Speaker 1: We wanted to play play hard, regardless of the circumstances.

2148
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:05,760
Speaker 1: And you know, um what coach said to us, You know,

2149
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 1: we took that in, we internalized it, and um we

2150
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 1: used it for good for sure. UM. But that's a

2151
01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:15,720
Speaker 1: type of executions, type of level that we want to

2152
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:17,680
Speaker 1: play at each and every week. UM. Now, each and

2153
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 1: every week is going to be different. How we game plan,

2154
01:40:19,479 --> 01:40:22,599
Speaker 1: how we prepare, um, how hungry we are as a team. UM.

2155
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 1: I said, we're very hungry to get number eight, and um,

2156
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 1: we got an opportunity this week. We're playing a really

2157
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 1: good Broncos team. UM, and I don't think their record

2158
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 1: shows really how good they are. I think they've lost

2159
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 1: multiple games by less than one score. M. Their defense

2160
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 1: is pretty dang good. I mean they've they've been playing

2161
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: really good since I think week five or six. They've

2162
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:42,640
Speaker 1: been topped in almost every category. So we got to

2163
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:43,800
Speaker 1: be on our p's and ques. We got to be

2164
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 1: ready to handle whatever they throw at us early and

2165
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 1: um ultimately go out there next year. How we knew

2166
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 1: we canes and really defenses how sustainable because it wasn't

2167
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:05,120
Speaker 1: obviously statistically it's great defense played the offensive break out

2168
01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:08,599
Speaker 1: that you cared against the offense to you, but going forward,

2169
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 1: how confident do you feel you're really honored to something

2170
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:13,840
Speaker 1: versus just like we win game thing. No, it's I

2171
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 1: definitely don't think it's just a one time thing. Um.

2172
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 1: How we've played this weekend, we've had a good sense

2173
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:20,200
Speaker 1: of who we are as a team. I think we

2174
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 1: really kind of found our identities an offense. Um, you know,

2175
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to roll with with what we've been doing. Um,

2176
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, we got it. At the end of the day,

2177
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 1: it comes down to eleven versus eleven on the field. Um,

2178
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: coach Ball from my college say, it's a man wepin

2179
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 1: man game. So how physical we are, you know, how

2180
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: bad we want it versus how bad you know they

2181
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:41,840
Speaker 1: want it, And it's what it comes down to. So

2182
01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 1: we gotta go out there, we gotta take it and

2183
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:46,479
Speaker 1: you know the rest of the schedule, nothing's gonna be

2184
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 1: handed to us, and we gotta go try to find wins. Josh,

2185
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 1: what have you seen from Cody now that it looks

2186
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:52,680
Speaker 1: like he might have to play a little bit more

2187
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 1: obviously with ties injury from day one to out, going

2188
01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:56,760
Speaker 1: through what you went through your rookie year and knowing

2189
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 1: what that process is like, what have you seen from

2190
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,000
Speaker 1: him and the day he showed up till now? Yeah,

2191
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,000
Speaker 1: I definitely think the game slowing down for him a

2192
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:05,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Um. You know, he's one of those those

2193
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: mallers though, those guys that you love to have on

2194
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 1: your team. Guy that's gonna have your back, guy that

2195
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 1: doesn't talk much, but he he puts his hard head on.

2196
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:13,720
Speaker 1: He goes to work every single day. Um, that's the

2197
01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:16,120
Speaker 1: type guy Cody is. And uh, you know, I've only

2198
01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:18,639
Speaker 1: got great things to say about him, and um, don't

2199
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 1: expect anything less from him this you know, this Sunday,

2200
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,200
Speaker 1: and I know he's gonna get a little more added role.

2201
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 1: But um, he's been playing a lot for us, so

2202
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:27,880
Speaker 1: now it's just kind of playing the whole game. Um,

2203
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:31,840
Speaker 1: So we trust him. Um, I trust him, So I

2204
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:34,240
Speaker 1: really want to go out there and just you know

2205
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a good game for us. He talks

2206
01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 1: about the offense, he said confidence in all season long,

2207
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,200
Speaker 1: but mentally put up thirty seven points to have the

2208
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 1: kind of day did it kind of feel like a

2209
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 1: little bit of a one got off the back. Um,

2210
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean we won another game, you know, we got

2211
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:52,439
Speaker 1: we got to number seven. We were six and three

2212
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,240
Speaker 1: up to that point. Um, obviously we would love to

2213
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 1: be in a better situation. But seventy three is nothing

2214
01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: to you know, to smart out or to laugh at.

2215
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:03,840
Speaker 1: So we understand what we gotta do. What we're trying

2216
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: to do here. Um, you know what coach has really

2217
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 1: put in front of us. So we've got some more time,

2218
01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: some more games that we gotta go out there. We

2219
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:13,600
Speaker 1: gotta execute when we gotta play hard. It seems like

2220
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:17,120
Speaker 1: the coach five games this season, you're trying to figure

2221
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:20,479
Speaker 1: out maybe a happy media vitually making a big play

2222
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:24,840
Speaker 1: and not making the mistake. Last five games, touchdowns and

2223
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 1: the interceptions the offense feel like a person started to

2224
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 1: find that sweet spot. Um. You know, each each game

2225
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:36,960
Speaker 1: is different. Um. The job of the quarterback is to

2226
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:39,680
Speaker 1: move the ball, score when you need to score, UM,

2227
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 1: and ultimately win football games. And that's all I'm trying

2228
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 1: to do. UM. You know, during the flow of a game.

2229
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 1: You know, every like I said, every game is different,

2230
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:50,640
Speaker 1: every situation is different. But understanding, um, what type of

2231
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 1: situation you're in, you know, helps out that aspect of

2232
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: the game. And went to went to risk a throw

2233
01:43:57,120 --> 01:44:00,880
Speaker 1: or to make a tighter window window throw, um for

2234
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:04,120
Speaker 1: the reward that it would it come with. But we're learning,

2235
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 1: we're growing. We got some guys hocked up over there,

2236
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 1: so I guess so when you completed that ball the

2237
01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:14,280
Speaker 1: job after everything, I mean, you're in the moment the touchdown.

2238
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:15,840
Speaker 1: Is there any party and said, think, I don't have

2239
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:17,240
Speaker 1: to talk about that anymore, you know, I mean to

2240
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:19,240
Speaker 1: throw the ball. We finally completely a deep one. We've

2241
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:20,720
Speaker 1: been asking you. You've been saying, I know you guys

2242
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:22,720
Speaker 1: are asking me. Yeah, because that considered a deep one

2243
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:29,880
Speaker 1: for you guys. Okay, okay, travel twenty seven. Okay, there

2244
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: you go, There you go. So I oh, well, you know,

2245
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 1: losing two out of last week, I darning this week.

2246
01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 1: How do you got to shake off or move past

2247
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: a good win to keep it going mentally? Uh, Like

2248
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 1: I said, the type of guys that we have in

2249
01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 1: this locker room, UM, we try not to get too

2250
01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:53,400
Speaker 1: high or too low in any given situation. We understand

2251
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 1: the task at hand, the opportunity that we have in

2252
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:58,200
Speaker 1: front of us. We understand the team that we're playing

2253
01:44:58,240 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 1: this week. Um, you know, we understand it's gonna be

2254
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 1: a very tough game. It's gonna be four quarters. You know,

2255
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 1: they've they've they've been in every single game they've played. So,

2256
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:08,000
Speaker 1: like I said, we gotta got there and we gotta execute,

2257
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 1: and we got to go take it. And um we're

2258
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 1: at home. You know, we got to have the good

2259
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 1: the juice that our fans brings, and we got to

2260
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:17,599
Speaker 1: apply that to the field. And um, you know that's

2261
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:19,120
Speaker 1: all we really focused on is trying to get Tom

2262
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:28,040
Speaker 1: Brad mentioned that the Bronco's record tell kind of a

2263
01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 1: lot of teams in the fourth quarter. How do you

2264
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 1: how do you get off that fast start like that? Well,

2265
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:39,759
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's pretty simple. Um, you know, whatever,

2266
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:42,320
Speaker 1: whatever Dave's calls early on, we're putting it together. Pretty

2267
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:44,760
Speaker 1: good game plan right now. Um whatever calls, we gotta

2268
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: got their next kid. As a team, UM played good,

2269
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 1: complimentary football, especially early. Um you know, I don't know

2270
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:54,320
Speaker 1: much of their their offense. I haven't really seen anything,

2271
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 1: but I've been talking to coach McDermott and UM, just

2272
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of understanding what we need to do as an offense,

2273
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:02,439
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, it's to get to a fast

2274
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:04,600
Speaker 1: start and put up some points early and try to

2275
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:07,599
Speaker 1: hold onto the football and not make those early mistakes. So, UM,

2276
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's not any different from the other game

2277
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 1: we've played. But UM, you know they're gonna be one

2278
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:14,200
Speaker 1: of the better defenses that we see all year. The

2279
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 1: performance that you did in the offense, UM, I mean

2280
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:23,639
Speaker 1: I would think so. UM you know, I think guys

2281
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: are with happy with the results and we're starting to

2282
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 1: finally see the results that we've been working with um,

2283
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,120
Speaker 1: but coach Dabel has been staying and like previous weeks,

2284
01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:33,720
Speaker 1: we were we were this close, We were this close,

2285
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: and we finally got a game where I think we

2286
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 1: put together a string of really good drives and UM,

2287
01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:39,600
Speaker 1: now we got to continue that. We gotta you know,

2288
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:41,760
Speaker 1: put our heads together and figure out ways to stay

2289
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:43,960
Speaker 1: on the football field on third down. UM, still a

2290
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:45,560
Speaker 1: lot of things that we can improve on from this

2291
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,960
Speaker 1: last Sunday. So like I said, we we watched that,

2292
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 1: put those to bed, and now we turned our focus

2293
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 1: to towards Denver and trying to do whatever we can

2294
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:59,759
Speaker 1: to win the game. He doesn't want to talk trends.

2295
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 1: We always has game commul it's game to game the game.

2296
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: But like you you mentioned that you'd like to run,

2297
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, you'd like when it's on tuball you're like

2298
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 1: a certain personnel. Its kind of frustrating that it's always

2299
01:47:12,439 --> 01:47:14,680
Speaker 1: can you can you say an identity that means like

2300
01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:16,560
Speaker 1: this is what we can do, this is what we

2301
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:18,920
Speaker 1: should do. You think it's some of that? Do you like?

2302
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:22,840
Speaker 1: Would you like to do more? I like whatever gets

2303
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:25,360
Speaker 1: us to winning a football game. UM, it doesn't matter

2304
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,920
Speaker 1: how we get it done, you know, I trust um

2305
01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:31,120
Speaker 1: implicitly in our in our staff and offense and defense.

2306
01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:32,880
Speaker 1: Whatever they tell us to do, we're gonna try to

2307
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:36,839
Speaker 1: go out their nextcuton do when Um, um, we trust them, identity,

2308
01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 1: whatever it takes, kind it takes. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, Josh,

2309
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 1: you guys will you started peaking talking and thinking about

2310
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:50,880
Speaker 1: the playoff picture back and back this season. I wouldn't

2311
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 1: say we've started talking about it, but UM, you know

2312
01:47:54,439 --> 01:47:56,200
Speaker 1: you do want to keep an eye on what everybody

2313
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:59,800
Speaker 1: else is doing. And ultimately the end of the day,

2314
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,000
Speaker 1: I think you need to get at least ten wins

2315
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:04,800
Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs. Um, we're sitting at seven. Um,

2316
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 1: not really sure how many games we have left into

2317
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:10,639
Speaker 1: the math in my head, but I can't know whatever,

2318
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:12,559
Speaker 1: But I know we got six or seven games last

2319
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:14,640
Speaker 1: whatever it is, we we gotta we gotta win some

2320
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:17,000
Speaker 1: more games to to kind of get in there. And UM,

2321
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 1: you know we have an opportunity to to to make

2322
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think we've got a good opportunity in

2323
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:25,280
Speaker 1: front of us right now. And UM, but guys aren't

2324
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:27,439
Speaker 1: looking forward. We're not talking about it. We're taking it

2325
01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:28,920
Speaker 1: one week at a time, trying to win a football

2326
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:38,120
Speaker 1: game this week where very comfortable. Yeah, No, he's been

2327
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 1: playing playing fantastic. Um, just seeing things on the football field.

2328
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:43,640
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like we're kind of on the

2329
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:47,960
Speaker 1: same page right now and how we communicate. Um, you know,

2330
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:49,960
Speaker 1: our relationship on and off the field, you know, it's

2331
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:52,599
Speaker 1: continuing to grow. And um, you know, I'm a big

2332
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: believer and off the field stuff really helps on the field. So, um,

2333
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:58,320
Speaker 1: you know he's one of them. You know, he's a

2334
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:01,679
Speaker 1: good guy to begin with, and you know he's fitting

2335
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 1: in with this team, very nice thing. He's doing some

2336
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 1: fantastic things on the football field. And whether it's this

2337
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 1: year next year, when he starts finding himself and finding

2338
01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:10,280
Speaker 1: what he can do on a football field, he's gonna

2339
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 1: be very scary to guard. Does anybody else have any question?

2340
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:16,599
Speaker 1: You know, I know you said it's a team accord,

2341
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 1: but it probably has to validate you a little bit

2342
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:21,639
Speaker 1: when you get kind of recognition like this that tells

2343
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 1: yourself like, hey, if we do everything the way we're

2344
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:25,799
Speaker 1: supposed to do, we can have a lot of success.

2345
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:28,519
Speaker 1: How do you kind of use that in balance, like, hey,

2346
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:30,360
Speaker 1: this is a competence builder, but at the same time

2347
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:34,720
Speaker 1: also balance like it's just yeah, I understand that. I

2348
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:39,000
Speaker 1: think our team understands that, and people want to say

2349
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:41,360
Speaker 1: congratulations this, and then it was that kind of brushed

2350
01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:43,680
Speaker 1: it off, like I'm just focused on you know this,

2351
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 1: this coming Sunday and what I can do to help

2352
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 1: this team on a football game. There go Josh Allen

2353
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:49,240
Speaker 1: with a lot to say. I thought, there's a lot

2354
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 1: of interesting stuff, and they're including when he was asked

2355
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 1: about are you thinking about the playoff picture and he

2356
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:59,280
Speaker 1: basically admitted, h they are. We need ten wins, he said, right,

2357
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:01,960
Speaker 1: and it's good. I mean that's realistic, but often you

2358
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:03,800
Speaker 1: won't get a player too. I don't know if it

2359
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 1: admits the right word, but to acknowledge that it's out

2360
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 1: there now and you've got seven wins, you eat three more.

2361
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 1: Josh said, yeah, you gotta go one to know this week,

2362
01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 1: and that's what you focus on. You got it. You

2363
01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:17,160
Speaker 1: can't get there without winning games. And the next one

2364
01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:18,479
Speaker 1: you have a chance to do that with is the

2365
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:21,080
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Here in your own building. That's you got

2366
01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 1: to stay focused on that. And but while the big

2367
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 1: pictures out there, I'm sure they're not thinking about any

2368
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 1: of that. Stuff down the road until they get finished

2369
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:32,800
Speaker 1: with the Broncos Josh and Way. Steve was playing right

2370
01:50:32,840 --> 01:50:34,840
Speaker 1: into our Twitter poll though, wasn't he? Yes? He was,

2371
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 1: which we thank him for because now it let's us

2372
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: set up the Twitter poll. The Bills with the third

2373
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 1: most difficult remaining schedule left six games left third most

2374
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,640
Speaker 1: difficult in terms of their opponents one lost record. How

2375
01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:49,360
Speaker 1: many more wins do you see on this Buffalo schedule?

2376
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:51,320
Speaker 1: What do you think? It's our Twitter poll. We've got

2377
01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty eight votes in so far, we can

2378
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:55,960
Speaker 1: take more. Seventy seven percent of you say you see

2379
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 1: two or three more wins left on the Buffalo schedule.

2380
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,519
Speaker 1: They get you to nine or ten wins, right. Eighteen

2381
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 1: percent say you see four plus wins. That gets you

2382
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 1: to eleven or more. Steve Tasker is the ringleader of

2383
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:10,880
Speaker 1: that camp. And five percent say zero or one, which

2384
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:12,840
Speaker 1: means you wind up with seven or eight wins. That's

2385
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:15,519
Speaker 1: not going to feed the capsule. There's always some haters

2386
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 1: out there, aren't there's hating? What do you mean? Zero? One,

2387
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:19,559
Speaker 1: zero to one? Five percent of eight hundred and eighty

2388
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: eight what's that? That's about forty forty votes though those

2389
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:26,760
Speaker 1: all forty haters. Yeah, I don't know they're haters. Maybe

2390
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 1: just in not in a good mood today. What do

2391
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 1: you think we get phone nines open to talk about it?

2392
01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 1: Eight oh three fifty toll free one eight eight eight

2393
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty and we can go to

2394
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

2395
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Six games left,

2396
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 1: the Bill's third most difficult remaning schedule. How many wins

2397
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:46,240
Speaker 1: do you see? Take it away there, Steve from Niki.

2398
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:48,720
Speaker 1: From nick e he says we one hundred percent beat

2399
01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos, Steelers, and Jets. I can see us beating

2400
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:53,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys since they haven't gone against a defense like

2401
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:55,960
Speaker 1: ours and their defense is on the weaker side. The

2402
01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:58,600
Speaker 1: Ravens game lies in the hands of our offense. We

2403
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:02,800
Speaker 1: would need to keep up with them scoring wise. From

2404
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:05,439
Speaker 1: Nick e kind, I don't want to talk about the

2405
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:07,519
Speaker 1: Ravens game now. We're two weeks away, and next week's

2406
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:09,160
Speaker 1: going to be kind of a truncated week, right with

2407
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys game bought two games away, right, Yeah, but

2408
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:14,840
Speaker 1: when we get their seat, that'll be the game of

2409
01:52:14,920 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 1: the year right Bills at home against Baltimore in a

2410
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Baltimore has to be considered at least

2411
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:23,920
Speaker 1: by you know, one of the favorites to represent the

2412
01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:26,559
Speaker 1: AFC in the Super Bowl. They're the team that's beaten

2413
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:32,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots and did it. They're hard to beat, you

2414
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:35,080
Speaker 1: think that. And the game they lost have been when

2415
01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 1: they've appeared to have a bad day on their own,

2416
01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:40,719
Speaker 1: not because they've gotten their you know, gotten the bested

2417
01:52:40,760 --> 01:52:43,960
Speaker 1: by another team. They are running an offense that is

2418
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,320
Speaker 1: different than everybody else because they got a guy that's

2419
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 1: different than everybody else taken snaps. So yeah, that's the

2420
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:53,240
Speaker 1: game because there this year they seem to be that

2421
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:57,679
Speaker 1: Like a year ago, the La Rams were the team

2422
01:52:57,760 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 1: that were different all of a sudden than everybody else.

2423
01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens seem to have that aura about them

2424
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:06,639
Speaker 1: this season. So yeah, I would say that is the game.

2425
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 1: And the quarterbacks make it interesting, right. A couple of

2426
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 1: members of the five first round quarterbacks of the twenty

2427
01:53:12,479 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 1: eighteen draft, um As Whoo told us they reconfigured their

2428
01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:23,960
Speaker 1: one and two Lamar Jackson and Josh Josh Allen one

2429
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:26,599
Speaker 1: and two and his quarterback is redrafted him the drafting

2430
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 1: of the twenty eighteen quarterbacks, and that'll mean that's set

2431
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:30,720
Speaker 1: up for that game. It's a good thing we have

2432
01:53:30,760 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 1: a long week before that game because we're gonna need it.

2433
01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 1: There's so much hype that we're gonna have to pump

2434
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 1: up for that game. You don't need to pump up

2435
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:37,800
Speaker 1: that game. It should be a great game. We should

2436
01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:40,439
Speaker 1: talk about next week because it's Thanksgiving week, right, Yeah,

2437
01:53:40,479 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 1: but we got Cowboys and we only got a couple

2477
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:49,480
Speaker 1: book on him. I don't know what to think. He

2478
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:53,160
Speaker 1: was like head referee Super Bowl forty seven when the

2479
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:55,680

Speaker 1: Sunday morning, otherwise mostly cloudy, temperatures in the mid to

2485
01:56:12,040 --> 01:56:17,200
Speaker 1: upper thirties. Chance that was hilarious. Well, it wasn't that

2486
01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:19,760
Speaker 1: that he thought was hilarious. Is that you said, it's

2487
01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:22,840
Speaker 1: not going to be an issue, he said, in most

2488
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:26,680
Speaker 1: In most NFL cities, that's like the story of the game.

2489
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:30,120
Speaker 1: Snow showers early in the day, temperature in the low thirties.

2490
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:34,400
Speaker 1: Most most cities would cringe at that buffalo. It's like,

2491
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:36,920
Speaker 1: I've been here too long. We'll build the We'll build

2492

2493
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:43,960

2494
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:45,840

2497
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:54,720
Speaker 1: that's like driving down the road and the chipmunk runs

2498
01:56:54,720 --> 01:56:56,080
Speaker 1: out in the road and you're like, oh gosh, I

2499
01:56:56,160 --> 01:56:57,600
Speaker 1: hope I don't hit him. But you know what, I'm

2500
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:00,640
Speaker 1: really not I'm really not gonna sweer, right, That's what

2503
01:57:05,600 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 1: he runs off the side road after you pass. But

2504
01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:09,160
Speaker 1: if he's not, but it does, it's like you don't

2505
01:57:09,200 --> 01:57:11,920
Speaker 1: pull over. I feel you feel bad, but for you

2506
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 1: don't pull over, do you, Peter, he's your guy right here. Listen.

2507
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 1: I am an animal lover. Oh it sounds like a lover.

2508
01:57:19,680 --> 01:57:22,040
Speaker 1: But you just gotta know you're not gonna, you know, risk,

2509
01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 1: put yourself at risk. It's not even a bump in

2510
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: the road. Twitter pull today. Six games left. The Bills

2511
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 1: have the third most difficult remaining schedule. How many of

2512
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:33,240
Speaker 1: those can they win? Phone nine's wide open if you'd

2513
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:35,560
Speaker 1: like to join us eight three fifty to three one

2514
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty the tweet sheet,

2515
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:40,640
Speaker 1: Get back to the tweet sheets. See what all right?

2516
01:57:40,680 --> 01:57:42,440
Speaker 1: From James, I'm gonna go with three. I believe this

2517
01:57:42,480 --> 01:57:46,760
Speaker 1: team's gonna continuously get better. It's gonna going to surprise

2518
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:49,320
Speaker 1: some teams. I think ten and six gets us in.

2519
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 1: Then it's a new season. I think we have some

2520
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:53,880
Speaker 1: guys ready for the moment. Go Bills. Well, there you

2521
01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:56,600
Speaker 1: got there's a he's a ten plus. See I'm an

2522
01:57:56,640 --> 01:57:59,839
Speaker 1: eleven plus. He's a ten plus. Well that doesn't qualify.

2523
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 1: That's okay? From Jack, I think the defense will keep

2524
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:05,280
Speaker 1: them in every game, but I predict they'll win three

2525
01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 1: games that make the playoffs. As the number six wild card,

2526
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:11,600
Speaker 1: says Jack says, I think they'll be Denver, Jets and

2527
01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:15,080
Speaker 1: hopefully Pittsburgh to get the tiebreaker. I'm not confident about

2528
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:20,360
Speaker 1: playing the state state stat stacked Ravens or Patriots in

2529
01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 1: New England Cowboys is fifty fifty. Well that sounds like

2530
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:26,280
Speaker 1: he's got it figured out. Okay, Yeah, there you go,

2531
01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:29,080
Speaker 1: and one more, you got it. Sticking to the tasker rule,

2532
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 1: we beat Denver. I don't know what that task is

2533
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:34,320
Speaker 1: there a tasker? We haven't labeled anything the tasker rule?

2534
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 1: Have we? I think it's eleven plus. Sticking to the

2535
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:39,800
Speaker 1: tasker rule, we beat Denver, Dallas, Pittsburgh and the Jets.

2536
01:58:39,920 --> 01:58:42,080
Speaker 1: We make the tournament and win the wild card game.

2537
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 1: That from Mike, that's his check out. I guess that's

2538
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:51,000
Speaker 1: what you mean is yeah, Denver, Dallas, Pittsburgh and the Jets. Okay,

01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:37,400

01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:39,440

Speaker 1: to win two. And Denver is not going to be

2558
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 1: scared off by this weather because they're used to it.

2559
01:59:53,880 --> 01:59:55,480
Speaker 1: Do you think the Bills need the weather to help

2560
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:58,920
Speaker 1: them to win beat the Denver Broncos. No, but it

2561
01:59:59,040 --> 02:00:03,080
Speaker 1: might help them fit your games. But again, the future games,

2562
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:08,440
Speaker 1: everything's up for grabs. Like you say, Steve, you gotta

2563
02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:11,560
Speaker 1: show up every Sunday. That's why they play the games.

2564
02:00:11,760 --> 02:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Do you say that, I don't know. I must have

2565
02:00:13,840 --> 02:00:16,560
Speaker 1: said at some point. Thanks for your thank you. There's

2566
02:00:16,680 --> 02:00:18,520
Speaker 1: Nick in dep Go ahead, Nick, you're on the air.

2567
02:00:19,720 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 1: Are you going? How's it going, guys? Just a quick

2568
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:25,960
Speaker 1: point I wanted to make about our offensive line. I

2569
02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:28,440
Speaker 1: haven't heard anybody talking about it in the past couple

2570
02:00:28,440 --> 02:00:31,320
Speaker 1: of weeks, but Dion Dawkins has looked rough and that

2571
02:00:31,480 --> 02:00:34,920
Speaker 1: makes me really nervous going up against von Miller next week,

2572
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:36,720
Speaker 1: and then when we faced Pittsburgh and he's got to

2573
02:00:36,760 --> 02:00:40,200
Speaker 1: go against Budd Duprie and t J Watt. I'm a

2574
02:00:40,240 --> 02:00:42,600
Speaker 1: little nervous because that just means Josh isn't going to

2575
02:00:42,640 --> 02:00:44,760
Speaker 1: be able to get as settled as he would against

2576
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:47,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, who don't have a great pass rush. I

2577
02:00:47,360 --> 02:00:51,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think he hasn't given up a sack.

2578
02:00:51,480 --> 02:00:54,320
Speaker 1: He hasn't given up a sack. They didn't. Yeah, I

2579
02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:56,120
Speaker 1: don't know what what makes you what? What have you

2580
02:00:56,240 --> 02:00:59,600
Speaker 1: seen that makes you think Dion's looked rough? Nick? I

2581
02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:02,280
Speaker 1: I thought he really struggled against Miles Garrett. There's a

2582
02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:04,680
Speaker 1: couple of times he just opened the gate and Garrett

2583
02:01:04,720 --> 02:01:09,400
Speaker 1: got a free rush. Basically Miles Garrett, who okay, one

2584
02:01:09,440 --> 02:01:11,920
Speaker 1: of the best. I got you, Okay, Yeah, he's good,

2585
02:01:11,960 --> 02:01:14,080
Speaker 1: but we got we got more of some of the

2586
02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:16,400
Speaker 1: best coming up, and that just makes me nervous. I

2587
02:01:16,440 --> 02:01:19,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't know how much he will see of

2588
02:01:19,480 --> 02:01:22,040
Speaker 1: von Miller. Millard typically will line up the other side,

2589
02:01:22,080 --> 02:01:24,560
Speaker 1: although I think it's a it's not a fifty fifty split,

2590
02:01:24,600 --> 02:01:26,480
Speaker 1: but it's a split. I'm sorry, go ahead, Nick, what

2591
02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:28,520
Speaker 1: did you say? I was just saying. Then that's Cody Ford,

2592
02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:31,960
Speaker 1: who's a rookie and he's exactly a pass bro. You know,

2593
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:35,520
Speaker 1: he run block, I get, I hear you. Nick, You're right.

2594
02:01:35,760 --> 02:01:38,480
Speaker 1: There's no question the Bills are gonna face some pretty

2595
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:40,760
Speaker 1: good pass rushers down the stretch in these last six games.

2596
02:01:40,800 --> 02:01:45,200
Speaker 1: But don't forget that we've said all along. The schedule

2597
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:52,200
Speaker 1: gets tougher, right, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England, Dallas, They're they're

2598
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:56,160
Speaker 1: really good Denver with von Miller, they're really good teams.

2599
02:01:56,200 --> 02:01:58,800
Speaker 1: They're much better teams than one loss records and the

2600
02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Bills have faced so far are no question about it.

2601
02:02:01,720 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 1: But that's just what you sign up for. And if

2602
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:09,120
Speaker 1: that's what you think, if that matchup with Dion Dawkins

2603
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:14,160
Speaker 1: a left tackle against von Miller or whoever, else you said,

2604
02:02:14,160 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 1: and I can't remember who the other pass rusher is.

2605
02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:18,400
Speaker 1: But if that's the matchup you think is gonna be

2606
02:02:18,520 --> 02:02:22,080
Speaker 1: the downfall of the Bills, I don't know if I

2607
02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:24,320
Speaker 1: can get on board with that. Certainly, it's a tough matchup,

2608
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:26,760
Speaker 1: no question. Von Miller is a tough matchup for anybody.

2609
02:02:27,240 --> 02:02:30,680
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh guy is Bosa is a tough matchup for anybody.

2610
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:33,000
Speaker 1: But if you think that's the one that is gonna be,

2611
02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:35,400
Speaker 1: if you think the left tackle is gonna be the

2612
02:02:35,440 --> 02:02:38,480
Speaker 1: one that loses us a game or two games or

2613
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 1: three games that we should have won, I don't know

2614
02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:42,920
Speaker 1: if I can get on board with that. They got

2615
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:44,760
Speaker 1: a tough matchup this week. To be honest with you,

2616
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:47,520
Speaker 1: I think the Bills do with on defense with Courtland Sutton,

2617
02:02:47,880 --> 02:02:50,400
Speaker 1: and not because he's great, but he's just long. He's long,

2618
02:02:50,760 --> 02:02:53,640
Speaker 1: and he's productive and he's good. Now I know, I

2619
02:02:53,680 --> 02:02:56,000
Speaker 1: don't know if they'll have Tradavious White follow him all

2620
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:58,040
Speaker 1: over the field. They might, because they've done that a

2621
02:02:58,040 --> 02:03:00,280
Speaker 1: little bit in recent games, and he might merit that. Really,

2622
02:03:00,320 --> 02:03:03,520
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton, second year player wide receiver for Denver, I

2623
02:03:03,600 --> 02:03:05,560
Speaker 1: think the other end of that connection is the problem

2624
02:03:05,680 --> 02:03:07,480
Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos. The quarterback. I don't know if

2625
02:03:07,720 --> 02:03:10,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Allen can deliver on a consistent basis, but Courtland

2626
02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:13,400
Speaker 1: Sutton is so long and so tall that I think

2627
02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:16,200
Speaker 1: he presents some pretty big matchup problems and seems to

2628
02:03:16,240 --> 02:03:18,120
Speaker 1: have good hands. We'll see how that's a matchup I

2629
02:03:18,160 --> 02:03:21,440
Speaker 1: would worry about this week before anything else, I think, right,

2630
02:03:21,480 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 1: and I know how good the Buffalo defenses call her

2631
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:27,600
Speaker 1: from Mark and Rochester. Hello, Mark, welcome, thanks for taking

2632
02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:32,880
Speaker 1: my call. Guys, two quick things, Steve, not to correct you.

2633
02:03:32,960 --> 02:03:35,160
Speaker 1: I know you're the professional, but it's t J. Watt

2634
02:03:35,160 --> 02:03:37,440
Speaker 1: and not Bosa for Pittsburgh. Yeah, there you go, Sorry

2635
02:03:37,440 --> 02:03:40,320
Speaker 1: about that. Thanks all right. I knew it was one

2636
02:03:40,360 --> 02:03:46,880
Speaker 1: of those family family names. Affair. I'm thinking four at

2637
02:03:46,960 --> 02:03:51,440
Speaker 1: least four winds under their last six Dallas doesn't scare me.

2638
02:03:51,520 --> 02:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Their defense is not that good. Pittsburgh, their defense is good,

2639
02:03:57,320 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 1: but their offense is ranked worse than ours. And then

2640
02:04:00,680 --> 02:04:03,600
Speaker 1: you got the Jets, which is hopefully a gimme game

2641
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:06,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, and this week's game

2642
02:04:06,880 --> 02:04:09,800
Speaker 1: against Denver. I think it could be a trap game

2643
02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 1: for Baltimore coming here too. I think if they if

2644
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:14,400
Speaker 1: they're reading their own hype, that could be a trap

2645
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:16,440
Speaker 1: game for them, you know, But I'm not you know,

2646
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't bet on that. Yeah, don't bet on that.

2647
02:04:19,520 --> 02:04:24,080
Speaker 1: You're You're right, Yeah, if there are games that you

2648
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:27,360
Speaker 1: can easily if you if you project week, but what

2649
02:04:27,480 --> 02:04:29,560
Speaker 1: has happened in the beginning of the season into the

2650
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:31,520
Speaker 1: next few weeks, you can kind of pick the games.

2651
02:04:31,520 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna be tough once Baltimore, New England. Pittsburgh is

2652
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:37,960
Speaker 1: notoriously a tough team to play for, and Mike Tomlin's

2653
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna have those guys playing better and better. They're five

2654
02:04:39,840 --> 02:04:41,680
Speaker 1: and five right now, and they're playing better than they

2655
02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:43,360
Speaker 1: did in the beginning of the year. They do have

2656
02:04:43,480 --> 02:04:46,400
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph at quarterback, not Ben Roethlisberger, and they're gonna

2657
02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:50,160
Speaker 1: you gotta think, with giving the passage of time, Mason

2658
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Rudolph's gonna play better quarterback for the Steelers. Their offense

2659
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:56,040
Speaker 1: is gonna start to look better. The Bills right now, though,

2660
02:04:56,080 --> 02:04:58,640
Speaker 1: a better worry about guys like Courtland Sutton coming in

2661
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:01,320
Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos. The guy six four two sixteen

2662
02:05:02,160 --> 02:05:03,920
Speaker 1: and he can leap I mean the guy's a really

2663
02:05:03,960 --> 02:05:06,920
Speaker 1: good player and he's physically gifted. That's gonna be a

2664
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:09,520
Speaker 1: tough matchup. And I think I worry more about that

2665
02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:13,720
Speaker 1: matchup than I do the matchup with von Miller and

2666
02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:18,520
Speaker 1: our offense. This is a game that's gonna be not

2667
02:05:18,680 --> 02:05:20,960
Speaker 1: that for any I'm just saying it this way. It's

2668
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:23,800
Speaker 1: about points. Both these offenses have struggle to score them,

2669
02:05:24,280 --> 02:05:27,600
Speaker 1: particularly against good defenses, and points are going to be

2670
02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:30,560
Speaker 1: more precious than ever. You're not gonna score thirty seven

2671
02:05:30,640 --> 02:05:34,280
Speaker 1: points on the Denver Bronco defense, and that's you know,

2672
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:36,280
Speaker 1: that's why you've got to keep them off the board.

2673
02:05:36,480 --> 02:05:40,040
Speaker 1: And their weapons are Courtland, Sutland and its North fan.

2674
02:05:40,280 --> 02:05:42,680
Speaker 1: They can they can play. Mark made an interesting point.

2675
02:05:42,760 --> 02:05:45,480
Speaker 1: And I don't normally subscribe to the trap game theory

2676
02:05:45,520 --> 02:05:47,400
Speaker 1: people that's a trap game watch out. I've heard people

2677
02:05:47,480 --> 02:05:49,800
Speaker 1: say this is a trap game for the Bills against

2678
02:05:50,040 --> 02:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Denver this week. But he talking about Baltimore, how they

2679
02:05:52,680 --> 02:05:54,720
Speaker 1: play a trap game here, And I got thinking about

2680
02:05:54,720 --> 02:05:56,120
Speaker 1: it and I went and I just fired it up.

2681
02:05:56,160 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 1: The schedule for the Ravens. You might be onto something here.

2682
02:05:59,080 --> 02:06:01,800
Speaker 1: The Ravens playing next Monday Night. Ravens at Rams. Rams

2683
02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:04,760
Speaker 1: are six and four Super Bowl combatants last year, a

2684
02:06:04,800 --> 02:06:06,640
Speaker 1: pretty good team. At home, the Ravens eight and two

2685
02:06:06,880 --> 02:06:09,720
Speaker 1: play Monday Night against him tough game. The following week,

2686
02:06:09,760 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens are home against the Niners nine and one

2687
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:15,200
Speaker 1: nine ers. Ravens have two tough games, one on the road,

2688
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:18,080
Speaker 1: one at home before they come to Buffalo. Does that

2689
02:06:18,200 --> 02:06:20,240
Speaker 1: constitute a trap game here in Buffalo? I don't know.

2690
02:06:20,840 --> 02:06:22,800
Speaker 1: They are they gonna Are they gonna be able to

2691
02:06:22,880 --> 02:06:25,320
Speaker 1: win at Los Angeles against the Rams? Are they gonna

2692
02:06:25,360 --> 02:06:27,280
Speaker 1: be able to handle the forty nine ers? What a

2693
02:06:27,360 --> 02:06:29,600
Speaker 1: game that is? By the way, on Sunday, December first?

2694
02:06:29,880 --> 02:06:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. But again I don't subscribe to trap games.

2695
02:06:34,280 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 1: At the trap game, but the Ravens are gonna be tested,

2696
02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Let's say that before they come to Buffalo in a

2697
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, right at the Rams home against forty

2698
02:06:41,240 --> 02:06:46,040
Speaker 1: nine ers. Those are two really tough games. I in

2699
02:06:46,200 --> 02:06:53,280
Speaker 1: my experience with John Harbaugh, Ravens don't really fall for

2700
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:59,120
Speaker 1: trap games. They show up. John Harbaugh is a really

2701
02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:02,200
Speaker 1: good head foot ball coach. He's a proven Guy's gotten

2702
02:07:02,240 --> 02:07:06,160
Speaker 1: them to the Super Bowl, and that is a team

2703
02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 1: whose culture is the antithesis of taking another team lightly.

2704
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:13,320
Speaker 1: They show up every week, So I would not count

2705
02:07:13,440 --> 02:07:16,200
Speaker 1: on that at all to be in your favor. If

2706
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:18,400
Speaker 1: you're the Bills fan, now, certainly it's more of a

2707
02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:20,720
Speaker 1: trap game for them. That would be considered for the Bills,

2708
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:25,640
Speaker 1: but that they don't that is a pipe tree to

2709
02:07:25,720 --> 02:07:28,240
Speaker 1: think they're gonna show up. Half ready, let's go to

2710
02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:32,840
Speaker 1: Zach and Buffalo. Hello, Zach, you're on the air. Yes,

2711
02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:37,640
Speaker 1: are you there, Zach? Yes? I like to know what

2712
02:07:37,720 --> 02:07:40,680
Speaker 1: you think the chances of the Bills having a home

2713
02:07:40,760 --> 02:07:45,560
Speaker 1: playoff game this year. It's gonna hinge on two things. Obviously,

2714
02:07:46,200 --> 02:07:49,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna hinge on the Patriots losing a couple more

2715
02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:51,600
Speaker 1: games and the Bills not losing a couple more games,

2716
02:07:52,200 --> 02:07:54,880
Speaker 1: and the Bills beating the Patriots on Week sixteen of

2717
02:07:54,960 --> 02:07:57,040
Speaker 1: the regular season. If that happens, the Bills will win

2718
02:07:57,080 --> 02:08:00,480
Speaker 1: the division and they'll get a home playoff game. So

2719
02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:04,080
Speaker 1: being the number one wild cards slot as we're lifting

2720
02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: not that doesn't designate to a home game, does not

2721
02:08:06,480 --> 02:08:08,800
Speaker 1: at all. If you're a wildcard team, you will definitely

2722
02:08:08,880 --> 02:08:12,560
Speaker 1: be on the road someplace. Okay, Okay, thank you very much,

2723
02:08:13,320 --> 02:08:15,280
Speaker 1: thank you Zach, We're gonna take a break, gonna come back,

2724
02:08:15,400 --> 02:08:18,280
Speaker 1: finish things up. One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health

2725
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:21,120
Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park. This is Buffalo

2726
02:08:21,200 --> 02:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. The time for this already, it is. What

2727
02:08:37,160 --> 02:08:38,880
Speaker 1: have we learned from today's show. It is brought to

2728
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:43,240
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2729
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:45,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I can't believe the show's wrapping up here,

2730
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:48,040
Speaker 1: right here we go. Field Gates joined us today NFL

2731
02:08:48,160 --> 02:08:52,080
Speaker 1: Insider from ESPN. Field Gates talk about the Bills receiver

2732
02:08:52,400 --> 02:08:55,200
Speaker 1: John Brown and his perception around the league. Here's Field Gates,

2733
02:08:57,120 --> 02:09:00,800
Speaker 1: so reliable, so consistently targeted by joh And I think

2734
02:09:00,840 --> 02:09:02,800
Speaker 1: it's just been an encouraging connection. I think there were

2735
02:09:02,840 --> 02:09:05,080
Speaker 1: some people that felt like, hey, going into this year,

2736
02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:08,440
Speaker 1: the speed wide receiver, you might want to add if

2737
02:09:08,480 --> 02:09:10,560
Speaker 1: you're the Bills, as a guy that can be more

2738
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:13,080
Speaker 1: physical at the point of catch, because Josh Allen was

2739
02:09:13,120 --> 02:09:16,920
Speaker 1: still developing player in terms of his accuracy down the field. Nope,

2740
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:20,160
Speaker 1: John Brown has been everything that the Bills could have

2741
02:09:20,240 --> 02:09:22,560
Speaker 1: asked for and that Brandon Being could have imagined when

2742
02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:25,160
Speaker 1: he told out that three year, twenty seven million dollar deal.

2743
02:09:25,200 --> 02:09:27,000
Speaker 1: I think when you look back in free agency, it's

2744
02:09:27,040 --> 02:09:30,360
Speaker 1: been one of the most impactful, I think acquisitions across

2745
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:32,720
Speaker 1: the league. It's been a home run. You know, obviously,

2746
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:35,120
Speaker 1: you've always known he's a great character, great person, and

2747
02:09:35,360 --> 02:09:37,880
Speaker 1: when you can combine great person with great production, it's

2748
02:09:37,880 --> 02:09:40,080
Speaker 1: hard to ask for anything more than that. In the NFL.

2749
02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:42,840
Speaker 1: Pretty good, Pretty good from field Dates and John Brown.

2750
02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Also on the show today, Matt Bowen, while we're Bill

2751
02:09:45,480 --> 02:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Safety seven years playing safety in the NFL. He is

2752
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:50,760
Speaker 1: one of the co hosts of NFL Matchup on ESPM

2753
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:53,440
Speaker 1: with a buddy Greg Cosell. Matt Bowen talked about Josh

2754
02:09:53,520 --> 02:09:56,000
Speaker 1: Allen being named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

2755
02:09:58,640 --> 02:10:00,560
Speaker 1: I think he had a man of the offense I

2756
02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:05,280
Speaker 1: think was a great game script and how the Buffalo

2757
02:10:05,600 --> 02:10:08,600
Speaker 1: coaches have managed to call sheet throughout out the day

2758
02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:11,760
Speaker 1: because you saw everything. I think that really caters to

2759
02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:15,920
Speaker 1: what Josh does best in terms of play action, the run,

2760
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:18,720
Speaker 1: pass options, taking a couple of shots down the field,

2761
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:20,960
Speaker 1: getting him on the move. And then what I always

2762
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:23,200
Speaker 1: say about Josh down I wrote about Josh last I

2763
02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 1: got a post you re ranking the twenty eighteen quarterback class.

2764
02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:29,040
Speaker 1: I had him at number two, right behind Lamark Jackson

2765
02:10:29,160 --> 02:10:34,640
Speaker 1: because of how Buffalo maximized was his French really good,

2766
02:10:35,080 --> 02:10:38,560
Speaker 1: really good compluence from both Matt Bowing and Field Gates. Well,

2767
02:10:38,600 --> 02:10:41,720
Speaker 1: the Bill's official injury report is out. Just came out.

2768
02:10:41,720 --> 02:10:44,640
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact. A couple of notable non participants,

2769
02:10:44,840 --> 02:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Ty and Secky did not practice today with his ankle.

2770
02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:49,720
Speaker 1: He is week to week according to head coach On McDermot.

2771
02:10:49,720 --> 02:10:51,360
Speaker 1: You can rule him out of this week's game, Sir

2772
02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:55,200
Speaker 1: and Neil defensive back and special teamer. He remains in

2773
02:10:55,280 --> 02:10:58,000
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. No update on his status and he did

2774
02:10:58,080 --> 02:11:02,000
Speaker 1: not practice today. Rest days today for Lorenzo Alexander and

2775
02:11:02,120 --> 02:11:05,200
Speaker 1: John Brown, neither of them practice, And Jerry Hughes did

2776
02:11:05,280 --> 02:11:07,400
Speaker 1: not practice today with a groin that's been bugging him

2777
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Full practice today for Jaquan Johnson, Bill's

2778
02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:13,880
Speaker 1: safety who suffered a hand injury. I think he got

2779
02:11:13,920 --> 02:11:15,680
Speaker 1: banged up a little bit Sunday in Miami. But he

2780
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:17,760
Speaker 1: went through a full practice today, so that's good. We

2781
02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:19,560
Speaker 1: can live with that kind of injury report. We'll see

2782
02:11:19,760 --> 02:11:21,640
Speaker 1: how it plays out. Don't look for any progress from

2783
02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:24,960
Speaker 1: Inseci will follow Sir and Neil and Jerry Hughes. Of

2784
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:26,280
Speaker 1: course you have to keep an eye on his day.

2785
02:11:26,320 --> 02:11:29,480
Speaker 1: They've been gingerly nursing Inseci through the season as it

2786
02:11:29,600 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 1: was he's you know, he's mid thirties, and rotating him

2787
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:35,120
Speaker 1: in throughout the season and then giving him. He started

2788
02:11:35,160 --> 02:11:37,480
Speaker 1: early getting those days arrest day off during the week.

2789
02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:40,600
Speaker 1: I think it was a knee at that time. But

2790
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:42,760
Speaker 1: of course the bangs and bruises of the season are

2791
02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:45,120
Speaker 1: taking their toll. And we had a pretty good Twitter

2792
02:11:45,200 --> 02:11:47,760
Speaker 1: poll today, nine hundred and sixty responses. The Bills, with

2793
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:51,400
Speaker 1: the third most difficult schedule remaining over their final six games,

2794
02:11:51,600 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 1: how many more wins do you see? And on Twitter

2795
02:11:54,400 --> 02:11:56,560
Speaker 1: three quarters of your seventy seven percent say you think

2796
02:11:56,600 --> 02:11:58,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be two or three wins. You think the

2797
02:11:58,280 --> 02:12:00,440
Speaker 1: Bills will be a nine or ten win team when

2798
02:12:00,480 --> 02:12:03,000
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. Eighteen percent of you say

2799
02:12:03,040 --> 02:12:05,920
Speaker 1: four plus eleven or more wins, and five percent of

2800
02:12:05,960 --> 02:12:07,960
Speaker 1: you say no more wins, maybe one more win. So

2801
02:12:08,040 --> 02:12:09,440
Speaker 1: there you go to the Twitter poll, what do you think?

2802
02:12:09,520 --> 02:12:11,240
Speaker 1: That's about the way I thought it would play. Yeah,

2803
02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:13,200
Speaker 1: we kind of figured it would be. It's not our

2804
02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:16,680
Speaker 1: greatest Twitter poll of all time. Still a solid effort.

2805
02:12:17,360 --> 02:12:19,280
Speaker 1: You got Tomorrow's right, you're gonna do tomorrow's for us.

2806
02:12:19,400 --> 02:12:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're gonna do tomorrow. To tweet

2807
02:12:21,840 --> 02:12:25,960
Speaker 1: tweet tweet your suggestions into over overnight to one. Bill's

Speaker 1: us tomorrow and after practice tomorrow. I know they told

2826
02:13:18,920 --> 02:13:21,400
Speaker 1: home games a month ago. We had three straight home games.

2827
02:13:21,480 --> 02:13:24,920
Speaker 1: Went on the road the Denver Broncos. Not a team

2828
02:13:24,960 --> 02:13:27,240
Speaker 1: that we have a lot of passion about here in Buffalo.

2829
02:13:27,360 --> 02:13:29,080
Speaker 1: But still, this is a game you gotta think the

2830
02:13:29,120 --> 02:13:32,080
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna look good in even against a rough

2831
02:13:32,200 --> 02:13:33,920
Speaker 1: defense like they have. This is is gonna be a

2832
02:13:33,920 --> 02:13:35,680
