We'll see 9 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: if it stands. 10 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: Back to pass looking in the right corner of the 11 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 3: end zone, fires up bullet into Stefan Diggs complete for 12 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 3: the touchdown fifteen yards. 13 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: That was a laser. 14 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: Look into the right corner and he's hit by a 15 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 3: Panessa ball out and that Panessa has the football. Lawrence 16 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: hands it off Etn trying to get the edge, has 17 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: it and he's gonna coast into the end zone for 18 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: a six yard touchdown run.

Gave Davis on the touchdown. 22 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: Reception eats through the hole and through a tackle and 23 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: he might find the end zone, can't get tripped up 24 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: by Micah Hyde, and he's in for the touchdown. A 25 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 3: thirty yard touchdown run by Travis etn. 26 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: To put this game to bet, fake to. 27 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: Throw, Allen get a run for it, trying to pull 28 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: his way over the goal line. 29 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 4: Did he get in? 30 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 5: Yes, he did. 31 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: A three yard bullish touchdown run by Josh. 32 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: Allen and back to pass, has time, fires to digs 33 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: at the twenty two he tried to lateral. The ball 34 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: is loose and the Jaguars hop on the football and 35 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: that should do it, and this ballgame is over with 36 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: thirteen seconds left. Jacksonville goes two to zero overseas here 37 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: in London to improve to three and two on the season. 38 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: Buffalo falls to three and two on the season. All right, 39 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: that is your Toshiba game. Rewind Oshiba, the official copier 40 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: company of the Buffalo Bills, as the much anticipated London 41 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: trip finishes with a thud and there is injury to 42 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: go along with the loss. Chris Brown Steve Tasker here 43 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: on a Buffalo Football Monday, and the Bills are quite 44 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: literally licking their wounds this morning. In the span of 45 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 2: two games, Buffalo has lost five starters from their lineup, 46 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: two potentially for the season at least. Those are the 47 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: early reports that NFL Networks ein Rapaport is putting out there. 48 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: On Matt Mulano's situation. There is an MRI schedule for 49 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: him today to confirm any ligament damage. There are reports 50 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: that he has a leg fracture. He left the stadium 51 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: in a mobilizer brace on a cart in the first 52 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: half as the Bills lost Daikwon Jones and Matt Mulano 53 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: on the same defensive series or possession by Jacksonville. I 54 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: should say Daikwon Jones with a pectoral injury declared out immediately, 55 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: Matt Mulona with the leg injury declared out immediately. Head 56 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: coach Sean McDermott after the game said both injuries do 57 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: not look good, but they didn't have full information on 58 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: everything at that point. We anticipate that when head coach 59 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: Sean McDermott talks to the media at four this afternoon 60 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: that there will be more clarity on those situations. But 61 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: you're already without Greg Russo, you've lost Tredavius White, for 62 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: the year. Christian Benford's out of the Benford is out 63 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: of the lineup, so that's three starters right there. 64 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 4: Shaq loss was out of the rotation. 65 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: Leonard Floyd's dragging his leg around at the end of 66 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 2: the game. 67 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: Lloyd was was hobbled throughout the most of the game. 68 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: Tarren Johnson went down for a hot minute. 69 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, that looked bad initially, Thankfully he was okay, and 70 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: it was bad. 71 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 4: It's, you know, cavalcade of a Yes, certainly every team 72 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: will go through stuff like this, but man, oman the Bills. 73 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 4: I went through it like this last year and for 74 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: a minute, for a high minute, it was it was 75 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 4: it was startling how fast guys were going to like, 76 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 4: you say, the same defensive series and on that same 77 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 4: defensive series, are they're right closely after it was when 78 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 4: Leonard Floyd hobbled off for a minute. 79 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: Uh so it was it was the same play Milanood. 80 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 4: It looked I don't know, I don't even have to explain. 81 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 4: It was shocking. 82 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, Eric Wood is like, this is the worst series 83 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: of the season so far. He goes and not because 84 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: of the play, right of the injuries. 85 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, it just went bang bang bang. So there you go, 86 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 4: and it's still all in all twenty five points given up. 87 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 4: Then you saw, you know, they gave up one explosive 88 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: run at the end when they were kind of gambling 89 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 4: to try and get Jacksonville stopped, and they snapped off 90 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: a run off a mistackle. 91 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: I you know, defense was gassed. 92 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, the defense was gassed. The offense slow start, no 93 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: question about it. Two three and ounce to start the game, 94 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 4: and then a four and out, so it was a 95 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 4: three and out, three and out, and then they had 96 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 4: six plays and out and then four more plays and 97 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 4: out on the first four series. They punted all four times, 98 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 4: which is a really slow start for this offense. I 99 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 4: think it's interesting too. You only get down in that scenario. 100 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: You get down one, two, five first down calls on 101 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: that whole in the first half of the game, or 102 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 4: just about the first half of the game. 103 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: Five. 104 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 4: You can't even get through your full menu of calls 105 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 4: on first down before you eat you're at halftime because 106 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: you can't stand there, you can't get a first down. 107 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Bills came into the game with five three and 108 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: outs all season. They had two on their first two possessions. Yeah. 109 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, And in the second two possessions were six and 110 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 4: out and a four and out, So they got a 111 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 4: first down on the second play on the second down 112 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 4: and then had you know, so they struggled offensively to 113 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 4: get going. And you know, for all the things we 114 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 4: said about the defensive injuries that the Bills sustained in 115 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: this game, they still only give up twenty five points. 116 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: The defense was not the problem. 117 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 4: No, no, not at all. And the offense really struggled. 118 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 4: And I think the thing that was different about this 119 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 4: game for me than anything else was their inability to 120 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 4: run the football well enough. And he got out And 121 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 4: I'll say this for whatever reason, first third down of 122 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 4: the game, drop pass. Second third down of the game, 123 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 4: you hit kin kid on the sideline. He turns it 124 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 4: up and doesn't get the he runs out of bounds 125 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 4: a yard short. You're off the field, gets hit out 126 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: of bounds, doesn't try to try and get to the 127 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 4: first doesn't try hard enough to get the first down. 128 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 4: So that's that's not a Ken Dorsey. That's you know, 129 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 4: you got guys, got to catch the ball and you 130 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: gotta get up the field. You gotta get the first down. 131 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: Lame game. Drops a third down pass, He's you know 132 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: way past. 133 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: So you know it's not the in that in the 134 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: slow start had nothing to do with play calls. Maybe 135 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 4: you got to execute that stuff now you can, but 136 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: that you know, it was guy after it was a 137 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 4: different guy every time. Ed Oliver while he's been playing 138 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 4: really well. Uh, set up the Jaguars with a couple 139 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 4: of penalties on to finish up that first drive. Got 140 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 4: the illegal hands of the face penalty, set them up 141 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 4: for the first down, and then got a penalty for 142 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 4: roughing the passer, which ended up giving them a one 143 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 4: yard extra point. They got the extra point, they went 144 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 4: for two and got it, So that was the the 145 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: extra point they got. 146 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: There at Loom Large at loom Large. 147 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 4: Then there was also some and you'll hear it on 148 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 4: so you kind of always hear it on social media 149 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 4: when you have a loss for the Bills. But I 150 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: thought the officials looked like they were jet lagged as well. Yeah, 151 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 4: so all of that's going on. So it was you 152 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 4: can make your case about that. You can do that 153 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 4: anytime you get beat or even when you win, you 154 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 4: can kind of point at them. So I'd rather not 155 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 4: do that in this in this spot. But yeah, this 156 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 4: is a game like we've seen just about every other 157 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 4: single loss the Bills have suffered over the last three 158 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: regular seasons. You know, they just didn't look like they 159 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 4: were hitting on all cylinders and lost by less than 160 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 4: a touchdown. 161 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: That's a subject I do want to cover. We are 162 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: going to take your phone calls at eight oh three 163 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: to zero five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty 164 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 2: two five fifty the number to get on board. We 165 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: want to know your takeaways from yesterday's game. I will 166 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 2: say this tip of the hat to Bill's mafia. They 167 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: showed up and showed out. They filled that stadium. It 168 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: was the largest London crowd for an NFL game since 169 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: the since the International Series began, or this latest iteration 170 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: of it, and it was majority Bills fans, and they 171 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: did a fantastic job out there. They really did so 172 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: glad to see the support. I think the players felt it. 173 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 2: You did make an impact on the game. When the 174 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: Jacksonville was backed up in their own end zone, they 175 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: could not hear each other at all and it led 176 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: to problems down there for them. On offense, they had 177 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: to punt it away. I think that was one of 178 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 2: their only three and outs of the game. So good 179 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: on you, Bills, Mavia. You did your job on Sunday 180 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 2: out there, and for those that made the trip, kudos 181 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: to you. I think what we've got here is it's 182 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 2: hard for me not to think this, and maybe I'm 183 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: completely off base, and you can tell me if you 184 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: think I am. There are certain teams in the league, Steve, that, 185 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: for one reason or another, have a kryptonite team, you 186 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like the Bengals cannot beat the 187 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland Browns, like you know what I'm saying, 188 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: they struggle with that. They cannot beat that team, the Jaguars, 189 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, it feels like they are the Buffalo's 190 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: kryptonite a little bit. They get up to play the 191 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: Bills and they seem to play their best against them. 192 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that they didn't deserve to win. 193 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 2: I'm not saying they don't have talent over there. They 194 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 2: unquestionably do, but for some reason, they seem to get 195 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 2: the better of this team and can really hold them 196 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: down defensively. 197 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll say this too. I mean, I don't know. 198 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 4: I couldn't pick Jacksonville's front four guys. I couldn't pick 199 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 4: him out of a lineup, and they seemed. 200 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: To the exception of you know, Joshie. 201 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 4: But those guys really played extremely well up front because 202 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 4: they you know, they just the Bills couldn't run the football. 203 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 4: The Bills are. 204 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 2: Then it was the first time in four weeks since 205 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: they played the Jets defense that they just flat out 206 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: lost the battle at the line of scrimmage yesterday. Yeah, 207 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: that's why they couldn't run the ball. 208 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: And all of that goes into the fact that you know, 209 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: something's yeah, whether you can call it what you want, 210 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 4: you got to play better against a team like that. 211 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 4: And certainly you can't take anything from Jacksonville because they 212 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 4: showed up and they played well, and and they've got 213 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 4: some guys a ten can really play, so can Calvin 214 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 4: Ridley and Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence is good quarterback, a 215 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 4: very good quarterback. And then they're well coached too. Doug 216 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 4: Peterson is is a quality coach. So all of that 217 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 4: stuff you get, I mean, Roy Robertson, Harris Adam Goatsis, 218 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 4: you know, Angelo Blackson and Tyler Lacy. Those are the 219 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 4: four rotational guys. 220 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: Now it's fully fought acasi is the. 221 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 4: Fokosi is a defense a nose tackle, right, so you 222 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 4: know they run that three four, So that's I don't know, 223 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 4: what are you gonna do? 224 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: Mate? 225 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 4: And the Bills. The Bills might have struggled with a 226 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: little bit of a three four instead of a four 227 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 4: to three, which they've been doing a week one. So 228 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 4: maybe that's the thing that may be a thing. So 229 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 4: maybe that's bears some more research into and some consternation 230 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 4: for future opponents. 231 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones, though, See what you guys 232 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: think at eight o three. You know they run that 233 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: three four, so that eight eight eight five fifty two 234 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 2: five fifty. The number to get on board and leading 235 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 2: us off on the phones today is Mark and West Seneca. 236 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: Oh we can't go to phones, all right, Well, we'll 237 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 2: have to hang tight there. We got a problem with 238 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 2: the phone bank. So we'll get back to the phone 239 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: calls as soon as we possibly can. The other thing, 240 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 2: Steve was there seemed to be, at least from what 241 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: I saw, a departure from play action. They used it 242 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 2: on occasion yesterday, but it did not feel like like 243 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 2: they went to that quite as much. 244 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that had to be a game plan 245 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 4: thing if if that's the case, something in Jacksonville they 246 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 4: didn't like it. And maybe again, maybe it harkens to 247 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 4: the three fourth sead of four to three defense that 248 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars run. Maybe they didn't like the edge 249 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: of the edges on the play action, that kind of thing. 250 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: Who knows. 251 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 4: But nevertheless, it seemed as though Josh sometimes was dropping 252 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 4: back and he did not like what he was looking at, 253 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 4: and he was not pulling the trigger like we've seen 254 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 4: him do in the first In the last three weeks anyway, 255 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 4: when they were hanging thirty points on people, so that 256 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: I think that bears some study as well. I don't 257 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 4: think this was a I don't think this was a 258 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 4: play calling issue. I think there was. It was something 259 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 4: other than I think it was more of an execution issue. 260 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: Is more than I would say in totality, Yes, yes, unquestionably, yes, 261 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 2: the run game was not working between the tackles for 262 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: the bulk of the game because they could not win 263 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage. I don't know what kind 264 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: of cread creativity you can employ to change the dynamics 265 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: of that. Whether you want to try things outside see 266 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: if they have speed, to the edge, you know, try 267 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: to leverage them that way, you know, or but that 268 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: sprint draw play was not working. They tried it more 269 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: than a few times and it was going nowhere. And 270 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: so I just wonder if there was another page to 271 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: turn to in the run game book that may have 272 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: worked more effectively against them from an adjustment standpoint, I 273 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: don't know. Let's go to the phones, though, and we'll 274 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: go to Mark and West Seneca here on a second 275 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: go round? What do you got for us? Mark? 276 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 6: Hey, guys, how a right today? 277 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 7: Oh? 278 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 6: You know us Bill's fans? How much more can we 279 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 6: go through? With these injuries? It's just so disheartening and 280 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 6: so so much. I mean, we live and die with 281 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 6: these guys, and we know the work they put in, 282 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 6: and then we have to watch them go down like this. 283 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 6: It's just so disheartening. But we'll be behind them though. 284 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 6: So but I have two points. I don't know if 285 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 6: anybody told you about the CBS panel after the game, 286 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 6: after I think it was after the one o'clock games 287 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 6: were actually over, they were talking about and I'd like 288 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 6: to make a comment about Dorsey real quick too. 289 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 8: After this, they were. 290 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 6: Talking about the Bills being over there and they had 291 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 6: JJ watt on and they said, JJ, you picked Jacksonville 292 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 6: earlier in the year or in the week. Why did 293 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 6: you do that? And he said, well, I heard through 294 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 6: the grapevine that some of the Bills players were talking 295 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 6: about how they were jet lagged and how they were 296 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 6: tired of this and that. And as he was making 297 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 6: this comment, Mike Turco stepped in and said, well the 298 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 6: two week thing. Goodell told me it was an experiment 299 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 6: to see how this was going to work out with 300 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 6: bringing a team over there for two weekends in a row. 301 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 6: And my thought was, why is the NFL in the 302 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 6: business Maybe designing, I don't know, Maybe designing is not 303 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 6: the right word giving an advantage to a team in 304 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 6: that kind of situation. First, obviously the first game is 305 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 6: more on an equal footing, but the team coming in 306 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 6: for the second game that no matter what they would 307 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 6: have done to get over there, they were not on 308 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 6: equal footing with Jacksonville. So that's my comment with that 309 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 6: and why that actually came out, I don't know. As 310 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 6: far as Dorsey goes, I could be wrong, but watching 311 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 6: the game, I just never felt in the first quarter 312 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 6: and a half, almost the whole first step to near 313 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 6: the end of it. We didn't really attack them. We 314 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 6: don't attack early in games. And when I say attacked, 315 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 6: we're so willing to try and get the running game going. 316 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 6: And I'm on board with that, with the balance and 317 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 6: all that, and wasteed down when the when the running 318 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 6: game is not going well, to run it between the tackles, 319 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 6: have a running play and not put up a great 320 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 6: yardage because we're trying to get that established and put 321 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 6: them on a lord for the running game. Why don't 322 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 6: we do that at least once? Burn it down where 323 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 6: Josh get the ball over the top of everybody. Send 324 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 6: Hardy down the field. He's our fastest guy. If he 325 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 6: gets it, he gets it if he does and he doesn't, 326 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 6: but you put him on alert and let him know 327 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 6: we're willing and going to try and do this and 328 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 6: back those safeties off a little bit and put something 329 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 6: in the back of our mind. I just don't understand 330 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 6: why we don't absolutely do that early in games all 331 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 6: the time. It should just be a part of our offense. 332 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 6: And lastly, when we're going the way we're going with 333 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 6: five in a row series where we're not moving the 334 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 6: ball and we're trying to mix it up and this 335 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 6: and that. I would love to see him at least 336 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 6: one of those series. Put the ball in Josh's hand 337 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 6: every down throw it act like you're in a two 338 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 6: minutes rill and just go after a team. You can 339 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 6: come back to your regular offense the next series, but 340 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 6: just put again, put them on alert, let them know 341 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 6: we're coming after you. 342 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: So I did, I will say, Mark, I think they 343 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: did do that. At times they went no huddle. I 344 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: mean their defense was on the field for a long time, 345 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: and they went no huddle on a couple of series 346 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 2: and it didn't work, and they're off the field and 347 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 2: then their defense is back out there again shorthanded. And 348 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: so after they tried that twice to try to kick 349 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 2: the team into a rhythm offensively and it did not work. 350 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if the coaching staff huddled up 351 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 2: and said, hey, we need to long sustain drive from 352 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: the offense because our d is hanging here. The time 353 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 2: of possession difference was huge. 354 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, seventeen minute difference in time of possession. So yeah, 355 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 4: and I and it was like that I did. It's 356 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 4: some we we always get into this conversation about well, 357 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 4: it didn't work, so we should have done something different. 358 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well okay, but. 359 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 4: They don't go into a game and even during a 360 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 4: game when they're on the fly adjustments, they're looking, they're 361 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 4: is citing their next series based on what the last 362 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 4: series was and what the defense is given to them 363 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 4: against the down and distance and the personnel and formations 364 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 4: and shifts they had on the field. So it's a 365 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 4: complicated formula, and I get it. It's easy to say, now, 366 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 4: just throw it deep. Well that's great, you're gonna drop 367 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 4: it back and have it throw have Josh throw it 368 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 4: into double coverage, because if you if you send guys 369 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 4: deep and they're covered, you don't want Josh to throw 370 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 4: it to the covered guys. You wanted to throw it 371 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 4: to the uncovered guys. And you'll never know the design 372 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 4: of the plane unless you're sitting in the stadium. There's 373 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 4: virtually always somebody going down the field. So here, I 374 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 4: get it. I get it. You want to try something 375 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 4: different because it wasn't working, and you should have And 376 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 4: I understand all that, but make it make no mistake. 377 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 4: The play selection as the game goes on is well 378 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 4: fought out, and they have conversation Josh is talking to 379 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 4: Dorsey between series like that and what are we seeing, 380 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 4: Here's what we should try, and Josh will sign off 381 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 4: on Josh and say, yeah, that's a good idea. Let's 382 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 4: try that. So they'll do it. You got to get 383 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 4: you got to get the players to execute the plays 384 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 4: that are called. You can say what you want about 385 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 4: you should have you know, big big picture stuff about 386 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 4: going deep and taking the lid off, and I get 387 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 4: all that, but they've got specific stuff they want to 388 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 4: try in these games because they prepared to try it 389 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 4: and the defense that they're facing shows vulnerability there. So 390 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 4: they got all that stuff in the mix. So it's 391 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 4: easy to sit back after the fact and say we 392 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 4: should have done this, we should have done that. Yeah, 393 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 4: but you got to do that. You can't. You don't 394 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 4: know that before the hand, and you prepare the way 395 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 4: you're supposed to prepare, and the Bills are I this 396 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 4: was not a play calling issue in this game. This 397 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: was this was the players, not the play callers. 398 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 2: And you know, Mark also commented on the advantage of 399 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 2: being acclimated and you know, Jacksonville try the same exact 400 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: way that the Bills did last week. The difference was 401 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 2: their opponent did also on the same exact day. Atlanta 402 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: and Jacksonville traveled out to London, same schedule, so they 403 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 2: felt probably the same going into the game last week. 404 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 2: You cannot say that about the two teams that played 405 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: on Sunday. And here's Travis Etn's quote. When he was 406 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 2: asked about the advantage of being in London for a 407 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 2: full week, he said, quote, I felt like it really 408 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: created a great edge for us. Just knowing how I 409 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: felt last Sunday in the Falcons game, the first game 410 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 2: that we had out here, and having the whole week 411 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: out here, just being able to get our bodies adjusted 412 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 2: and not having to have that jet lag on us 413 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 2: throughout the game, I feel like it played a huge part. 414 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 4: Quote Now, I don't think it is, but the league 415 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 4: might have said, we would like you guys to try 416 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 4: and go as late as you can, But I don't 417 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 4: think think. 418 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 419 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 4: It was the team's call because the race science got 420 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 4: into it. 421 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 2: The Ravens are leaving today right for their game this week, 422 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 2: so it's the team's call, and when they travel right. 423 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 4: And so there you have it. Certainly, you know the 424 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 4: Jacksonville guys said themselves, Man, that week really helped us. 425 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 4: The Bills could have done that. 426 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 2: And he knows how they felt the first week they 427 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: were out there. Not so good. 428 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 4: Right, So all of that's in the mix, and you 429 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 4: know the Bill, You learn from it, you move on. 430 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 4: But that was it was. You can say what you 431 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 4: want about the league finger quotes experimenting with the schedule 432 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 4: and sending a team over there for two straight weeks. Yeah, 433 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 4: that's that's not You can't blame the league for that. 434 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 4: I mean, they're going to schedule games over there to 435 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 4: do it. But it's you got to make yourself ready 436 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 4: to play. You got to show up ready to play. 437 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and we go to 438 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 2: Chuck in Hamburg. What do you got for us, Chuck. 439 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 8: Hy doing, Chris Steve, Steve, you still own me and 440 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 8: ice cream in our eastern area because I told you 441 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 8: on the whiteboard back in April, gave Davis when he 442 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 8: was healthy, would bawl. 443 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 5: Out this year. 444 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 8: Back in second the defense played like it was under 445 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 8: Leslie Fraser's terminology. They've bent but not break, but they 446 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 8: gave up way two mitts, time and yards on the ground. 447 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 8: And third, I can see why Kyer Elim hasn't been 448 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 8: in the starting lineup. He just needs to get more 449 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 8: confidence in himself. He's way too hesitant to jump jump 450 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 8: a pass. All Right, Chuck, I'll see you in East Arara, 451 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 8: Steve all. 452 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 2: Right, Cave Davis off to a good start, touchdowns in 453 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: three straight games and on Andre yards yesterday. 454 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 4: Without six starters on the field, Yeah, the def gonna 455 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 4: change a little bit. Yeah, And I'm not making excuses. 456 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 4: They got to play well, and they should. Those guys 457 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 4: got to step in, they gotta play. But it's gonna 458 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 4: look different with the different guys on the field. 459 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 2: You replaced an all Pro linebacker with a rookie. 460 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 9: Uh. 461 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: You replaced your best run stuffer with a guy that 462 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: usually plays three technique in Jordan Phillips. And you have 463 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 2: a corner that hasn't been on the game field in 464 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: the regular season all year, starting at outside corner. So 465 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: you could say what you want about Kyrie Elan, how 466 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 2: about you not play for four games and then get 467 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 2: thrown onto a game field and have to have to 468 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 2: cover their number one receiver. 469 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 4: And philosophically, they're down their top two corners, Christian Benford 470 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 4: and Tredavious White on the outside. They're gone. Malone's gone, 471 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 4: Deakon Jones gone, Rousseau's gone. Rousseau's not in the game. 472 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 4: Shaq Laws is not in the game. You got Kendall 473 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 4: Vickers taking snaps both defensive tackle and defensive end. At 474 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 4: the end, you got to d Floyd walking around on 475 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 4: one leg. 476 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: You got Von Miller on a pitch count Von Hill's 477 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 2: klota and he's out of the game. 478 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 4: Out of the game. Yeah, so it Yeah, the defense 479 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 4: will look different there. It doesn't mean they're not they're 480 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 4: off the hook because they still only gave up twenty 481 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 4: five points. 482 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 2: They all I'm gonna say is this, If you want 483 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: to play in the defense in this game, I think 484 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: you're crazy. 485 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 4: That's that's a stretch. 486 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: I think you're crazy. That shorthanded they had it, it's 487 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. It's still a one score game 488 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: with a defense missing five starters. I mean, if you 489 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: want to put it on the defense, okay, but I'm 490 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 2: having a hard time with that. I mean, you're entitled 491 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: to your opinion. I just don't think that's I would 492 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: vehemently disagree with you. Let's go to Barber in Holland. Next, 493 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: what do you got barb Hi? 494 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 10: How you guys doing today? 495 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 2: We're all right, we're hanging in there. 496 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know me too.

Yes, Now for trading guys or 512 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 4: you know, going out and finding a player that will 513 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 4: come in and help or start I kind of highly 514 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 4: doubt that because you're not going to get anybody. Nobody's 515 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 4: going to trade a really good player to you unless 516 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 4: you overpay to get them. And if they do bring 517 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 4: them in, you've got to make salary cap room for them. 518 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 4: There's a lot of things in play there, and if 519 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 4: they're out there, it's because nobody wants them. So the 520 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 4: guys they have on their roster now are the guys 521 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 4: they wanted to keep because of what happened in training camp, 522 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 4: the ones that they feel can play the best. So 523 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 4: anybody that was in training camp who's not here is 524 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 4: not here for a reason. Now they may be next 525 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 4: in line because the Bills trust them and they'll take 526 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 4: less time to acclimate. But you're not gonna have you know, 527 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 4: you're not gonna be able to find a guy like 528 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 4: von Miller to come riding over the hill, or you're 529 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 4: not gonna play you know, Fred Warner coming over the 530 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 4: hill or somebody, you know, every. 531 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: Time of the year to find quality talent to supplement 532 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: your roster if you're hit with a rash of injuries. 533 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 2: And as Steve mentioned, the cap space issue is also something. 534 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: Bills only have about a little over three million dollars 535 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 2: in cap space. That's gonna get gobbled up quickly if 536 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: you bring in a player of any kind of repute. 537 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: So you kind of got a triage this situation here 538 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 2: for the next several weeks, depending on how serious. All 539 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: the injuries are like Greg Russell, for example, miss the 540 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: game this week. Is that a week to week injury 541 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 2: or a day to day injury. Now you have depth 542 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 2: there because you have Cameron Klein on the practice squad, 543 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 2: who I think is a pretty good player and had 544 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,479 Speaker 2: a very good preseason, so I wouldn't feel too badly 545 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: about having him as an elevation. If you're still gonna 546 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 2: have Von Miller on a pitch count and Greg Russou's 547 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 2: not available and Leonard Floyds dinged up and Shaq we 548 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: don't know, so Cameron Klein could be a practice squad 549 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: elevation this week. Some people were asking why Kendall Vickers 550 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: was up and poon A Ford was down. They needed 551 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 2: Kendall Vickers to play on the edge because of all 552 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: the injuries. Shaq was down, Rousseau was down. Vickers can 553 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 2: play inside and outside. Poona Ford is strictly an inside player. 554 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 2: Now I would expect poon A Ford to be up 555 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: this week with you know, the day Kwon Jones injury, 556 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: so you're covered there, but it's it's it's you gotta 557 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 2: triage this situation and just try to get through this week. 558 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: Try to get through the next week and kind of 559 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 2: see where you stand as shorthanded as they are on 560 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. We got to take 561 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: a break here. We're gonna get more of your phone 562 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: calls when we come back, So if you are on hold, 563 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: stay there. We will get to you because we do 564 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: want to hear from you here today, and we will 565 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: also have some other stuff here in segment number two. 566 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 2: What do we got a Player of the game? Yes, 567 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 2: this week's player the game will bring to you as 568 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: well when we come back here on one Bill's Live. 569 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 2: Stay tuned. This week's Player of the Game is presented 570 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 2: by Wegman's Meals to Go. Wegman's Meals to Go Delicious 571 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: Meals Delivered download their app today and it is one 572 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: a j Appanessa. Four tackles in the game, including one 573 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 2: for lost, two sacks including the trifecta Steve the sack 574 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 2: strip fumble that kept points off the board for the 575 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 2: Jaguar at the end of the first half, three batted passes, 576 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 2: and two quarterback hits. That guy really was a bright 577 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: spot yesterday. 578 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was, and he has been. He's had a 579 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 4: really good month of the first month of the season. 580 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 4: It's his best football as a pro, no question about it. 581 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 4: And yesterday was typified that batted passes go as passes defense. 582 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 4: But you can't underestimate how good it was. And you 583 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 4: know that the two sacks he got were money. That sack, 584 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 4: strip fumble could not have come at a better time 585 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 4: because they were coming. They were walking away with points 586 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 4: and that in a game where points were at a premium. 587 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 4: You needed him to do that at the time, at 588 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 4: that time. I mean, that was crucial. It took points 589 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 4: right off the board without question. 590 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 2: And going forward, they're going to need more of that 591 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: from him. With as shorthanded as they are in front, 592 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 2: he's going to have to lay that way. I said 593 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: it on the broadcast. I thought it was his best 594 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 2: game as a Buffalo Bill. Yeah, might have been his 595 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: the best game in a Bill's universe. 596 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 4: He's made great plays and he had to pick six 597 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 4: while back and he's done two weeks. Yeah, But overall 598 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 4: this he has been everywhere and made plays and they've 599 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 4: been timely. So credit to him for rising up like 600 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 4: he has. 601 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones at eight oh three 602 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five 603 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: fifty we go to Jim and cheek towagan X. What 604 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 2: do you got Jim? 605 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 11: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I appreciate it. 606 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 11: I got a couple of things I want to talk about. 607 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 11: Epanos played out of his mind yesterday. It's fantastic, and 608 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 11: a couple of other things. The officiating I thought was 609 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 11: ridiculous when they called that roughing. 610 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 4: Or personal foul on Poyer. 611 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm Poyer. Yeah, that was a joke. 612 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 11: Okay, So that automatically gave them another first down, which 613 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,719 Speaker 11: they should not have had it. To me, it seemed 614 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 11: like the flags were just flying constantly and these officials 615 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 11: wanted to be on TV more than the players. 616 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. 617 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: Unfortunately that Sean Smith Crewe is known for that they 618 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 2: throw a lot of flags on average, so I was 619 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: not surprised to see Buffalo with eleven penalties for one 620 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 2: hundred and nine yards by the end of the game. 621 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 2: I felt it was rather lopsided through the first half, 622 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: and then there were some a few more flags for 623 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: Jacksonville in the second half. For example, the Josh Allen 624 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 2: helmet contact on the sack on Josh that gave him 625 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 2: a free set of downs there at the end to 626 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 2: get in the end zone. 627 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 4: But here's the problem, Jims with those first downs by penalty. 628 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, they got four first downs by penalty. Here's the problem, 629 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: Jim with the Poyer play that you were referencing. Poyer, 630 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 2: to his credit, was trying to pull off of the hit. 631 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 2: But the reason he didn't slow down was because Ridley 632 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: was still trying to make a play on the ball 633 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: to make a catch even though it was deflected. So 634 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: there's no way for Poyer to know that he's got 635 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: to pull up there. And then when he realized the 636 00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: ball was out of his grasp, he tried to pull 637 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 2: up at the last millisecond, and he did. He didn't 638 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: make helmet to helmet contact. But here's the problem. The 639 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 2: league tells the officials we are protecting defenseless players like receivers. 640 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 2: So if their back is turned to the defender and 641 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 2: the defender makes any contact whatsoever to the head or 642 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 2: neck area, the flag is coming out. No matter whether 643 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 2: he tried to pull up pull off. If contact is 644 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: made with the helmet and the receiver is in a 645 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 2: defenseless position, it is a flag A thousand times out 646 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 2: of a thousand. I agree. I thought Poyer was trying 647 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 2: to pull off that hit, but he made contact with 648 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 2: the head and neck area. As soon as that happens, done, deal, Lucille. 649 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 2: They're throwing it every time. It's unfortunate, Yeah, but that's 650 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 2: kind of the way it goes now this day and 651 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: age in the NFL, and there's gonna be times where 652 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: players are coming so fast to make a play they 653 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 2: can't pull up in time. And Poyer was kind of 654 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: a victim of that. So it was kind of an 655 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 2: unfortunate circumstance. But I feel you on the amount of flags. 656 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 2: There was one play, Steve, there were four flags on 657 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 2: the field for the same play. Yeah, I mean and 658 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 2: in the past, hold on my favorite Steve offensive pass 659 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 2: interference on Stefan Diggs on the first touchdown catch by 660 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 2: Gabe Davis, negating the touchdown. Did you watch the replay 661 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 2: of that. He touched no one, He ran across the field, 662 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 2: touched no one, right, they thought he offensive pass interference. 663 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 4: The officials thought they didn't see it, but they thought 664 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 4: he picked the defender that was coming with Gabe. It 665 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 4: wasn't even close to close. It wasn't even a rub route. 666 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,919 Speaker 4: So yeah, and I'll say yeah, and I'll say this too. 667 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 4: And this is a nitpick that I have because it 668 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 4: used to bother me. I didn't think the officials could 669 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 4: spot it yesterday. I thought their spots were Yeah, there were, 670 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 4: there was some bad So we listen, we can complain 671 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 4: about those guys all the whatever. I do. Say this, 672 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 4: if you're trying to expand the game overseas, don't send 673 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 4: that crew. Don't send the ones that flag everything. 674 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 2: Because I'm just telling you right now, like they were 675 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 2: taking shots of the crowd in between plays when the 676 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 2: play was stopped because of these flags. And I saw 677 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 2: some fans on the stand on the jumbo tron screens. 678 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 2: They're going like, are we are we gonna play the 679 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 2: game or are we gonna watch these guys throw flags 680 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 2: around all day? I mean, that's how bogged down. The 681 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 2: game really did. 682 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 4: Get bogged down, and I who knows, there's a lot 683 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 4: in it. And Bills fans have been relegated to this 684 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 4: over the last three years because these the team rarely 685 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 4: loses badly. You can point to a couple at the 686 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 4: Indianapolis game the year after Indianapolis came back here. Indianapolis 687 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 4: comes back here the year after the Bills put them 688 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 4: out of the playoffs, and they had a chip on 689 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 4: their shoulder and that they kind of hung it on 690 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 4: the Bills there the Cincinnati game here last year when 691 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 4: the team was was a shell of what it was 692 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 4: at the beginning of the year. So any all the 693 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 4: most other losses they've taken have been like this, where 694 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 4: it's like like the game is like what we can't 695 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 4: you know, it's like hurky jerky stuff like that, and 696 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 4: it's a one point game or a one possession game 697 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 4: and the Bills come out on the wrong end of it. 698 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 4: This is what the losses have looked like this Jacksonville 699 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 4: have lost. Yeah, the six to nine game down in 700 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 4: Jacksonville three, that's same thing last year, the Jet game 701 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 4: in New Year it's a three point game. Miami Week 702 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,720 Speaker 4: three last year, the Heat game, two point game. And 703 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 4: it's just is this kind of the this is the 704 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 4: way we have to digest these losses the Bills take. 705 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 4: They're a hard team to get up on. They and 706 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 4: you can't get away from them. But man oh man, 707 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 4: when they when stuff can particularly the injuries and the 708 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 4: penalties and whatever jet lag you want to call it, whatever, 709 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 4: it's just that kind of game. There's a. There's like 710 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 4: nine things you can point to that are like yeah, 711 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 4: and that's whim is for most teams. 712 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,879 Speaker 2: Well, they all probably factored in. But nineteen total penalties assessed, 713 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 2: and they were about four or five that got declined. Yeah, 714 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 2: I mean you're talking upwards off close to twenty five 715 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: penalties called by this crew. 716 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 4: It's it. 717 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,919 Speaker 2: You're killing the game. I mean, you're turning it into 718 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 2: baseball before the pitch clack. 719 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 4: And I'll say this, it's like you said, I don't 720 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 4: mind if they call it if it's a penalty. But 721 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 4: the thing on the pass interference on Steph. 722 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 2: Diggs, the phantom flag, I mean you're flagging. 723 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 4: Nothing, and the spots the yeah yeah, the hands illegal hands. 724 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 4: And I'll say this too. The broadcast was deficient in 725 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 4: showing us replays of penalties us at home here. Once 726 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 4: I got through the Spanish dialogue that was over the 727 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 4: top of the broadcast, we didn't get any replays of 728 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 4: crucial penalties. Now, get granted, there's like nine thousand penalties, 729 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 4: got all of them, but we didn't get any of them. Wow, 730 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 4: we didn't get any of them. But the Steph Diggs 731 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 4: interference never saw it had Oliver hands in the face. 732 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 2: Never saw it, well I didn't. We didn't see that 733 00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 2: one either. 734 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 4: We saw that. We saw the Poyer replace, saw that, 735 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 4: you know, stuff like that. We never saw it. Never 736 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 4: saw that an off sides or you know, the the 737 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 4: guy never saw it, never saw the replace. So it 738 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,439 Speaker 4: was a I was yeah, it was. It was hard. 739 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,720 Speaker 4: I wanted to hack through my TV with a sword 740 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 4: because I couldn't. You know, it's it's not what I'm 741 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 4: it's not what we're used to here, not what we're 742 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 4: used to here. We're used to like, you know, show 743 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 4: that I want to see this. Yet thank you now 744 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 4: the other end, yeah, thank you? Oh yeah, yeah, I 745 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 4: didn't know you had to say, oh, this is great, 746 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 4: that's what we're used to show me what I want 747 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 4: to see, didn't have You need to know what I 748 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 4: want to see, and if you don't, you should be 749 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 4: in another business. You shouldn't be a producer on an 750 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 4: NFL broadcast. You should know what people want to see 751 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 4: and show it to them. We didn't get that yesterday. 752 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 4: In fact, the fact that I didn't speak Spanish was 753 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 4: a problem. 754 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 2: I didn't know. 755 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 4: Exactly. 756 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 2: So you do speak Spanish. 757 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 4: There you got a little bit so there you go. 758 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 4: I mean, I was it was rough. It was rough. 759 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 4: So that included plus you go out there and the 760 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 4: bills go one, two, three and out, one, two, three 761 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,919 Speaker 4: and out, one, six and out and then four and out. 762 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 4: I mean, sat Martin, I was like, dude, I don't even. 763 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: I don't want to see anything, right, Yeah, I didn't know. 764 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 4: I didn't want to look at you that much. 765 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 2: Seen him punts on twelve Possessions yesterday. Yeah, that was. 766 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 4: That was also a compounding factor to my disdain for 767 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 4: that game. 768 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 2: Back to the phones into Brian and Springville. Uh, Brian, 769 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,359 Speaker 2: what do you got for us here? On One Bill's Live. 770 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 13: I just want to talk a little bit about Everybody 771 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 13: keeps talking about the disadvantages of flying over and the 772 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 13: jet lag and all that stuff, but to me, it 773 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 13: seems like a little bit of an excuse. Listening to 774 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 13: Eric Wood pregame, he mapped out a whole bunch of 775 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 13: things that are a disadvantage of staying there. Your world 776 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 13: class facilities. He said that when and they were over there, 777 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 13: and I think it was two fifteen, he said that 778 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 13: they were doing their game room, film, their workouts, and 779 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 13: a ballroom and a hotel, they're not staying in their beds. 780 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 13: They're now with their families. They're now with their kids. 781 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 13: The food's different, so there are a whole bunch of 782 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 13: disadvantage of staying there for two weeks as well. So 783 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 13: excuse wise, I think that's bad. Secondarily for me, I 784 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,800 Speaker 13: don't understand why, and you guys know better than me, 785 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,839 Speaker 13: but please explain to me. When the Bills were at 786 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,240 Speaker 13: our best two three years ago, we did nothing cold 787 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 13: Beasley down the middle, cold Beasley down the middle. We 788 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 13: used the middle of the field with our passing game, 789 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 13: and it feels like we've completely abandoned the middle. And again, 790 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 13: this is a concate thing, obviously, but we've completely abandoned 791 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,439 Speaker 13: the middle of the field with our passing game. 792 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say this, Brian. It seemed to me, 793 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 2: just on the way the game played out, that the 794 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 2: Bills thought they had matchup advantages outside. So I would 795 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 2: tend to agree with you on that, And they did 796 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 2: not exploit the middle of the field with as much 797 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 2: frequent and see just based on where Josh went with 798 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 2: the ball, So I'm with you on that one. I 799 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:09,399 Speaker 2: know people are anxious to see more playmaking ability from 800 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid. It's large. He's largely been a checkdown option 801 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 2: along with James Cook, which is why they are some 802 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 2: of the most targeted players in the passing game. After 803 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs. They're two and three. I don't know if 804 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 2: that's still the case after Gabe's day yesterday, but we'll 805 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 2: check it out when we get the updated stats. Yeah, 806 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 2: I think you have to lean on Kincaid a little 807 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 2: bit more in the passing game, especially when you're having 808 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 2: trouble staying in what the Bills like to call the 809 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 2: green favorable down in distance. That's a guy that can 810 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 2: get you in the green, even if you don't want 811 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 2: to use him on bigger plays down the seam, like 812 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 2: we see Travis Kelcey run all the time for the Chiefs. 813 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 2: So the best thing that Cole Beasley did when he 814 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 2: was here was he would take second and ten and 815 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 2: make it third and three for you. You got to 816 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 2: use Kinkaid the same way, I believe to stay more effectively, 817 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 2: stay in favorable down in distance and keep drives going. 818 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 2: And they got behind the sticks a lot let yesterday 819 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 2: and did not utilize Kinkaid to help alleviate some of 820 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 2: that problem. 821 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 4: Well, I'll say this too, in conjunction with what Brownie 822 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,800 Speaker 4: just said to me. And maybe it's because I was 823 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 4: grew up that way and started out in my career 824 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 4: in the NFL like that I was a player. You 825 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 4: put it on the players. I mean, you can say 826 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 4: you're not attacking the middle of the field. Well, yeah, 827 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 4: they'll run routes over the middle of the field, and 828 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 4: if they're not open, don't throw it. Or if you 829 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 4: don't want to throw those things, it's not because they're 830 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 4: not there, it's because you don't want to throw them. 831 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 4: As a quarterback or as a receiver, you're not getting 832 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 4: open and you're not getting there. Don't think the Bills 833 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 4: don't send guys over the middle. They do. And I'll 834 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 4: go back to it again. The first two series of 835 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 4: this game. The first third down, James Cook drops a pass. 836 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 4: Josh put a little too much on it. Could have 837 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 4: been a nice, little softer touch pass, but it was 838 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 4: right in his hands. He dropped it. That's the first 839 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 4: third down they blew. The second one, Josh Aden looks 840 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 4: down the field, doesn't see anything that's open, takes the 841 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 4: outlet to Dalton Kincaid, who's running a flat route, he 842 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 4: catches it, turns it up the field and gets run 843 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 4: out of bounds by one hundred and eighty five pound corner. 844 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 4: How do you not get a first down when you 845 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 4: turn it up the field. That's a player not that's 846 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 4: not a coaching call. You had the guy you completed 847 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 4: a pass, turn the guy, turn the ball up the field, 848 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 4: get the first down. That's why the plays designed like that. 849 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 4: The player doesn't do it. He doesn't. He doesn't take 850 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,439 Speaker 4: the guy on and work hard to get a first down. 851 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 4: He just pushed out of bounds. That's on the players. 852 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 4: Those are all on the players. Those aren't on the coaches. 853 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 4: You I get it. You can say, well, they're not 854 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 4: doing It's not they it's the players. It's not the coaches, 855 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 4: and they'll tell you that too. I could tell Dalton 856 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 4: Kincaid was ticked at himself after he looked at it and 857 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 4: they didn't where he saw where they spotted it. He 858 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 4: thought he got it. 859 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 2: He didn't. 860 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 4: And you can say that you fish whatever, you gotta 861 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 4: get it. That's the player. 862 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 2: You can't. 863 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 4: And they're not running. They're not running five guy. They're 864 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,439 Speaker 4: getting five guys out in the routes and not running 865 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 4: anybody over the middle. There's guys going down the middle 866 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 4: and there's guys crossing the middle. Josh doesn't like what 867 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 4: he sees. He's not gonna throw it. If they don't 868 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 4: have separation, he's not gonna throw it. It's not like 869 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 4: he doesn't want to throw it. Now. Luckily the Bills 870 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 4: have got a guy in Josh. He can throw it 871 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 4: the outside the numbers, from the far hash. That's fine 872 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 4: with him. He can get it there. So you got 873 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 4: all that open open to you. Some teams can't do that, 874 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 4: but it's a players league, and you can say all 875 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,439 Speaker 4: you want about they don't do this offensively. They're they're 876 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 4: not trying to do that. Listen, they run the play. 877 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 4: I don't care if it's a simple off tackle dive, 878 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 4: run it, and execute it. That's what you know they're not. 879 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 4: They're not running out there like with no plan. It's 880 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,720 Speaker 4: people tend to blame coaches too much for what usually 881 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 4: is a player's execution problem. Now I know they're not 882 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 4: playing in a vacuum. Believe me, nobody knows better than me. Now, 883 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 4: I mean, they're planning as good guys, but they call plays. 884 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 4: Give you a chance, do. 885 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 2: It break time for us here more of your phone 886 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 2: calls when we come back here on a Buffalo Football Monday. 887 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 2: It's one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

The play of aj Epineza. 913 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 12: He was fantastic yesterday. I believe that since vond Miller's 914 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 12: been here, I believe that was his knowledge and totally 915 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 12: of the game. He has obviously listened to what he 916 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 12: said and he has taken it to the field. 917 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would I would tend to agree with some 918 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 2: of that. I know he's gone to his pass rush 919 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 2: Summit each of the last two or three seasons that 920 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 2: he has out in Las Vegas, so trying to soak 921 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,919 Speaker 2: up information not just from Von there, but from other 922 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 2: defensive ends in the league. We actually sent one of 923 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 2: our Buffalo Bills dot Com video team members down there 924 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 2: to film that and I saw he had a long 925 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 2: conversation with Max Crosby from The Raiders. They have similar 926 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 2: body types, so I found I found that to be 927 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 2: an interest. So he was picking brains of a lot 928 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 2: of guys that have been successful in the league, and 929 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 2: he's tried to incorporate some things into his game, and 930 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 2: you know, I think we're seeing the fruits of that. 931 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,399 Speaker 2: So hopefully that continues, because, like we said earlier, Mike, 932 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 2: they're gonna need it from him as shorthanded as they 933 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 2: are on the edge right now with injuries. 934 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 12: Yes, and one last thing, uh from a former player 935 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 12: of the player of Mark moss Up in Indy. Uh, 936 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 12: you think that he just didn't really get the shot 937 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 12: that he could have had the way he's doing the Indian. 938 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 12: Of course, I know Taylor is back now, so I 939 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 12: know he's gonna lose some playing time, but he's been 940 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 12: playing fantastic, been playing lights out. 941 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been playing really well. 942 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 12: And oh, go ahead and Steve, Hopefully that day will come. 943 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,879 Speaker 12: And I hope I'm still alive.

I'll probably be dead 946 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 4: that the Zach Moss. Zach Moss is playing well in 947 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 4: Indy One is a different offense and they're giving him 948 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:39,720 Speaker 4: a lot of opportunities. 949 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 2: And he's finally healthy, and he is healthy. He has 950 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 2: been battling injuries the last two years. 951 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 4: He he broke a leg somewhere in there. 952 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,320 Speaker 2: Broke his ankle in the Indie playoff game here, and. 953 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,280 Speaker 4: So he's, you know, ironically enough, right, so he's playing well. 954 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 4: It's not though he couldn't play, but in the in 955 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 4: the scheme of things, the way worked in Buffalo, you know, 956 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 4: he was at the end of the line. I'm talking about, 957 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 4: like stand in line to get on the field. It 958 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 4: was you know, it was Uh Singletary, Yeah, Devin Singletary, 959 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 4: it was James Cook and then it was Zack Moss. 960 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 4: And Zack early on he put it on the ground 961 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 4: a little too much. That was one of the things. 962 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 2: Also had trouble hitting the hole with the authority that 963 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,520 Speaker 2: they wanted from him as an inside runner, and that's 964 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 2: why they changed him out and signed Damian Harris and 965 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 2: Latavius Murray. Just didn't work here, so they went with somebody. 966 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 4: Else, right, And so that's not to say that Zack 967 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 4: Moss wouldn't have done better with more opportunity here. But 968 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 4: the way it has tended to work here in Buffalo, 969 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 4: and this is not just for Zack Moss and all 970 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 4: these other guys. It's that when they they start to 971 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 4: trickle out opportunities a little by little to these guys 972 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 4: when they're young, and if they don't hit it out 973 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,839 Speaker 4: of the park, they don't play. And I don't mean 974 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 4: just coming in and playing. Okay, they got to play 975 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 4: really well, otherwise they don't play. That's been that way 976 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 4: for Look at Kyrie Elam, same thing. Other guys the 977 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 4: same same you know, offensive lineman, whatever position you want 978 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 4: to get to. So Zach Moss struggled to stay healthy, 979 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 4: stumbled out of the gate with ball security and they 980 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 4: got buried on there and then got buried. But yeah, 981 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,359 Speaker 4: it's not because he wouldn't couldn't play, so he got 982 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 4: off to hearts, you know, a staggering and stumbling start. 983 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 2: Break time here for us more of your phone calls 984 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 2: in our number two along with a trip around the 985 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 2: locker room.

And before 1003 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 15: I get to my point, yes, Steve, you know what 1004 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 15: they did show on the broadcast though the rules expert 1005 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 15: Jean Sterotaurs amateur hour index card moment, they managed to 1006 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 15: get that in that that I can't believe how bush 1007 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 15: league that was, as the refs just made an atrocity 1008 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,839 Speaker 15: out of that game and on throwing flags on bang 1009 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,240 Speaker 15: bang plays, I mean, the players can't play the game properly. 1010 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,319 Speaker 15: Remember Mike Mitchell had a rant. You know, He's like, 1011 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,360 Speaker 15: I'm gonna mess around and get hurt trying to protect 1012 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,799 Speaker 15: an offensive player, trying to play this game in one 1013 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 15: hundred miles an hour, because it's it's it's just ridiculous. 1014 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 15: But anyway, that game still came down to it. Like 1015 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 15: three plays at Oliver, the two penalties back to back, 1016 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 15: those were five points. Those where five points. That there's 1017 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,359 Speaker 15: the game. If that fumble that Ajpanessa goes a little 1018 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 15: bit more towards the sideline, I'm sorry, I don't know 1019 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,280 Speaker 15: if you saw the same view, Chris. You probably did. 1020 00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,120 Speaker 15: Micha Heid's going to scoop and score that. He's he's 1021 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 15: going to run towards the end. 1022 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 4: I thought they had plenty of time to scoop it. 1023 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 4: Somebody was going to scoop it up. But Aj reached 1024 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 4: out and grabbed and stayed down. 1025 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 2: Well, he was already on the ground. 1026 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 4: If he pushed all the ball, If he bats it 1027 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 4: or tries to get it and it goes out forward, 1028 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 4: one of those guys gonna pick it up and go 1029 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 4: and there's nothing but fat guys around him, So they're 1030 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 4: gonna get a head start anyway, So yeah, I'm I'm 1031 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 4: totally with you on that as well. 1032 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,879 Speaker 15: Yeah, and then if if Josh lays out the ball 1033 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 15: won on one of those two passes, he just I know, 1034 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,360 Speaker 15: he said he got he had the reset and double 1035 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,399 Speaker 15: clutch on the one. You know, if he lays out 1036 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,759 Speaker 15: one of those balls in front of Diggs, there's the game. 1037 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 15: So everybody's having a titty attack today. Sorry for my language. 1038 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,840 Speaker 15: You know, everybody's citing, you know all Dalton, Kincaid, Laporta. 1039 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 15: Who are they not talking about those same team. They're 1040 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 15: not talking about Jack Campbell, which was everybody's darling. Why 1041 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,360 Speaker 15: because Torell Bernard fans are always grasping and straws for 1042 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,439 Speaker 15: why things aren't the way they are. Just watch the game. 1043 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 15: You saw it. It was just a couple of plays. 1044 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 15: It was trioge on defense. They still played an amazing game, 1045 00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:58,680 Speaker 15: Yeah they did. 1046 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,400 Speaker 4: They're a deep team. Uh, they played extremely well in 1047 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 4: tough conditions. I know the defense looked a little different, 1048 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 4: uh they and and and maybe because of the different 1049 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 4: faces that are on the field and that you had 1050 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,359 Speaker 4: to play a little different. I think in that last 1051 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 4: Brownie and I were talking to that last explosive, the 1052 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 4: last third down conversion third and four, and they threw 1053 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 4: it over the top to Ridley and they had Micah 1054 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 4: on him, which is a bat. They got a late shift, 1055 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 4: They caught the Bills in the wrong in the wrong 1056 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,319 Speaker 4: check the adjustment package that they were in, and they 1057 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,760 Speaker 4: got a safety on Ridley that and that was credit 1058 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 4: to the Jaguars doing that. They waited until then to 1059 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:38,839 Speaker 4: give it a shot. Plus the Bills had the right 1060 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 4: defense called, or I say the right defense. It was 1061 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,359 Speaker 4: the wrong one for the Bills because they were going 1062 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 4: they were gonna go zero blitz, so they caught them 1063 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,520 Speaker 4: and they had you know, Micah instead of being one 1064 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 4: of the blitzers and Elam being the guy out there. 1065 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 4: It was the reverse. 1066 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 2: So uh. 1067 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, all this, Yeah, they get caught. I mean, the 1068 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 4: Jaguars are an NFL football team and they can do 1069 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,360 Speaker 4: that kind of stuff, particularly with a good quarterback and 1070 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 4: an offensive head coach who used to play the position. 1071 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,839 Speaker 4: So all of that stuff comes down to it. And 1072 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 4: the defense played really well. They only got caught, like 1073 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 4: I said, when they were kind of rolling the dice 1074 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 4: at the end. They give up the third down conversion 1075 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 4: and then they give up the explosive run to end 1076 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 4: the game when they were, you know, trying to go 1077 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 4: for broke kinda. So there you have it. The Bills 1078 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 4: offense came alive way too late, a four play, forty 1079 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:34,400 Speaker 4: five second, seventy five yard drive that ended of the touchdown. 1080 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 4: And that's more proof, Brownie, what I've always told you, 1081 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,960 Speaker 4: when a team lets off the gas, they're gonna get 1082 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 4: nick quick. And that's what happened to the Jaguars. They 1083 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 4: thought they had the game won. 1084 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 2: Well, I kind of thought they were trying to keep 1085 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,240 Speaker 2: everything in front of them. They were playing more conservatively 1086 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 2: toward the end of the game, similar to the way 1087 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,439 Speaker 2: you play at the end of a half. You don't 1088 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 2: want to get beat on one play for a touchdown 1089 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 2: and then Josh makes an off script play and fires 1090 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 2: a dark to Gabe Davis on the three yard line. 1091 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 2: I mean, that's an offense script play. That's not how 1092 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 2: your defense is choosing to line up. That's just a 1093 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 2: special player making a special play. But yeah, I thought 1094 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 2: they kind of backed off and didn't play as aggressively 1095 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 2: as they did earlier in the game because I think 1096 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 2: they felt being up two scores. You know what's on 1097 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 2: our side now is the clock. So let's try to 1098 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 2: give them if they want yardage, let's just keep them 1099 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 2: in front of us and try to keep them in 1100 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 2: bounds and let the clock run on them because the 1101 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,359 Speaker 2: clock was their friend at that point in time. Let's 1102 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,359 Speaker 2: go to Bob in Syracuse next. What do you got 1103 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:32,839 Speaker 2: for us? Bob? 1104 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 7: Guys, First of all, just on that trip, definitely didn't 1105 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 7: feel like that was a home game. I don't feel 1106 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 7: like sports science can make up for a week of 1107 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 7: getting acclimated to a different time zone. But we see 1108 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 7: the Favors do this. They play back to back games. 1109 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,400 Speaker 7: Sometimes they're getting off the planet two o'clock in the 1110 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,319 Speaker 7: morning and the opponent didn't play the night before and 1111 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,879 Speaker 7: they're just resting a hotel. So you you know, it's 1112 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 7: not an excuse. You got to find a way. But 1113 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 7: I really hope that the NFL decides put a team 1114 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,320 Speaker 7: in London, that we do not end up in that division. 1115 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,880 Speaker 7: That would be the busiest thing ever to end up 1116 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,879 Speaker 7: in a London division. So I hope that doesn't change 1117 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 7: as far as the team identity going forward. With all 1118 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 7: the injuries that we have on the defensive side of 1119 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,480 Speaker 7: the ball and guys you cannot replace, like Matt Malano. 1120 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 7: Do we think that the team identity maybe changes. This 1121 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 7: has been a team that's been very balanced and played 1122 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 7: complimentary football, one of the most balanced teams in the league. 1123 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 7: Do we become something more like Miami where we have 1124 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 7: a big defense and just a great offense, and maybe 1125 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 7: does that change some of how the play calling works 1126 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 7: When you cross midfield you're in ford Down territory, that 1127 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 7: kind of a mindset. 1128 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 2: That's a good question, Bob, you want to lead off 1129 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 2: on this team. 1130 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 4: Well, it's good it is. There's stuff we don't know. 1131 00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 4: Who's going to be available and what the team's going 1132 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 4: to look like, what players are going to be as 1133 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 4: Christian Benford coming back and is going to come back 1134 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 4: completely healthy? 1135 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 2: If So have a week to week injury or a 1136 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 2: day is. 1137 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 4: Russo coming back? Is he going to be the same 1138 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,160 Speaker 4: as Daikwan Jones going to be able to come back 1139 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 4: at any point? All of those things need to be answered, 1140 00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 4: plus some others. Is to find out what the who 1141 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 4: the team's gonna be. And then once those team players 1142 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,160 Speaker 4: come back and they start to play and everybody gets healthier, 1143 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 4: you know Vaughn coming back. Is he gonna come back 1144 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 4: and start to ascend and be what the guy we 1145 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 4: thought he was. All of that stuff needs to be answered. 1146 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:27,480 Speaker 4: Plus then it's like the first month of the season again. 1147 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 4: The coaching staff and the players themselves need to find 1148 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,800 Speaker 4: out who they are, what they can do now that 1149 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 4: they couldn't do then, and what they can't do now 1150 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 4: that they could do then. So it's all you're gonna 1151 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 4: have to find out for yourself. We have to watch together, 1152 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 4: because I don't think. 1153 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:44,640 Speaker 2: The team would know. I think your your hypothesis of 1154 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 2: being more aggressive. I would tend to go along with that. 1155 00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 2: When you're shorthanded, sometimes you have to pull out more 1156 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 2: stops to be aggressive and make the plays because you're 1157 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 2: trying to cover up for something that is deemed deficient 1158 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 2: by your coaching staff and in my eyes, in my eyes, 1159 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 2: I think you have to be even more aggressive from 1160 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 2: a pass rush perspective to help those guys on the 1161 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 2: back end because your top two corners are down right now, 1162 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 2: you don't have your your two starting corners are gone. 1163 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 2: Like hopefully Benford can come back sooner rather than later. 1164 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 2: I mean he was inactive this week. Maybe he's healthy 1165 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,360 Speaker 2: enough to be active this week. We'll have to wait 1166 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:25,920 Speaker 2: and see. 1167 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 4: But the question is how effective can you be without 1168 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 4: those players that you lost, And whether you have to 1169 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 4: be more aggressive or not depends on what you can 1170 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:39,520 Speaker 4: get done when you're not being aggressive. Yeah, you can 1171 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 4: say that, you know, you got to turn it up 1172 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,160 Speaker 4: and go for broken. You may not have to do. 1173 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 4: This is a team that's got a lot of talent, 1174 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 4: but we'll see. That's the thing. You got to find 1175 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 4: that out right, and every team you're playing is going 1176 00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,680 Speaker 4: to be different. You'll be able to get more done 1177 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 4: against the Giants, then you're gonna get done against the 1178 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:56,640 Speaker 4: Chiefs or the Cowboys. 1179 00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,920 Speaker 2: Right and yeah, and to that point, sometimes you may 1180 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 2: be up in a game. You don't need to be aggressive. 1181 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,320 Speaker 2: You're up two scores. So it's also recognition of time 1182 01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,400 Speaker 2: and score in determining how aggressive you do or do 1183 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 2: not need to be in a given game. But yeah, 1184 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,080 Speaker 2: you're in a tight one and you need a play, 1185 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 2: and maybe your defense is struggling because they're shorthanded, and 1186 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:22,920 Speaker 2: you're in a fourth and fourth situation in plus territory. 1187 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 2: Maybe you're going for it, you know, hoping you get 1188 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 2: the first down, so you can stay on the field longer, 1189 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 2: give your defense a break because they're struggling to keep 1190 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 2: up because you know they've got five backups in the game. Yes, 1191 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 2: that could happen going forward, but as Steve said, we'll 1192 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,240 Speaker 2: have to wait and see because how games play out 1193 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 2: and who you're playing are big variables in that equation. 1194 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 2: Let's go to Larry and Tanawanda next. What do you 1195 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 2: got for us? Larry, you're on one Bill's Live. 1196 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,479 Speaker 16: Good afternoon, gentlemen, Thank you for taking my call. Sure, 1197 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,480 Speaker 16: I have a little suggestion regarding the jet lag. None 1198 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 16: of us one wants to use it as an excuse, 1199 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 16: but I was one if the NFL, instead of doing 1200 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 16: what they're doing now, sent four teams over to England 1201 01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 16: or Europe. I guess I should say those four teams 1202 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 16: pair off, they played two games, then they stayed. All 1203 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,240 Speaker 16: fourteens stay for the next week, and they pair off again, 1204 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 16: switching opponents, and that way everyone has sort of an 1205 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 16: equal time frame there. So that's my suggestion for the NFL, 1206 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 16: And I figure if you guys like it and call 1207 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 16: the NFL, they'll implement it immediately. So thanks for hitting 1208 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 16: the call. 1209 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, for appreciate that. Larry, It's interesting that you 1210 01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,400 Speaker 2: mentioned that Eric Wood and I on the Bills Radio 1211 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:38,400 Speaker 2: Network pregame broadcast had an opportunity to interview Commissioner Goodell 1212 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,920 Speaker 2: prior to the Bills Week one game against the Jets 1213 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,160 Speaker 2: because he was there at the game was kind enough 1214 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 2: to give us some time. He used the word division 1215 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 2: for Europe. I would not be surprised if ten years 1216 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 2: from now there is a not just a team in Europe, 1217 01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 2: but a division of teams for the very reason that 1218 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 2: you just brought up. Because to bring teams over there 1219 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 2: with that amount of travel, particularly West Coast teams, I mean, 1220 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,200 Speaker 2: that's that's four more hours than what we're doing here 1221 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,439 Speaker 2: on the East Coach. You're almost a ten hour flight. 1222 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 4: You're almost a half a day ahead in in Europe 1223 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 4: than you are in the West coast of the United States. 1224 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean you can you can see it 1225 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 4: if there were two teams in London, a team in 1226 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 4: Frankfurt and a team in what Paris or someplace, or 1227 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,880 Speaker 4: two teams in Frankfurt or one in Berlin, one in 1228 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 4: frank Germany, blah blah blah. So yeah, you could see 1229 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 4: that where a team would go over there and play 1230 01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 4: two road games over there, and then that those the 1231 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 4: other two teams would come back and play over here. 1232 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,000 Speaker 4: But that now, think about what you're asking of those 1233 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 4: four teams in Europe. They'd have to play a full 1234 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 4: seventeen game schedule, most of it half of it over here. 1235 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's the other issue. Like the other problem 1236 01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 2: is you're also if you add four team teams and 1237 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 2: do a division over there. Again, I don't see this 1238 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 2: for another ten years because you have got to improve 1239 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:13,600 Speaker 2: your feeder system because offensive lines are horribly average right now. 1240 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,520 Speaker 2: With thirty two teams, you add four more, quarterbacks are 1241 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 2: going to get killed and that's not a recipe for 1242 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 2: success in this league, as the NFL has already found out. 1243 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 2: That's why they changed all their rules to protect quarterbacks. 1244 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,920 Speaker 2: But what I would do if I was the NFL, 1245 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:33,640 Speaker 2: is this USFL XFL merger that is happening. You subsidize 1246 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 2: that league and help them survive as a spring league only, 1247 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 2: and you use them as a player development league to 1248 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 2: feed your league when you expand to thirty six teams. 1249 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 2: Presumably if you are in fact in a set up 1250 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 2: a division over there. Because Roger Goodell had an interview 1251 01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 2: It's all over social media the last couple of days. 1252 01:03:54,680 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 2: He used the phrase teams in the UK plural and 1253 01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 2: he said to me and Eric Wood, like live on 1254 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:08,680 Speaker 2: the air division over there, an NFL division of teams 1255 01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,640 Speaker 2: over there. So again, I think it's way down the line. 1256 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,840 Speaker 2: And I think they've got to have a player development 1257 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,880 Speaker 2: feeder system league. And maybe that's the USFL merger thing. 1258 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 2: I don't know, but there's a lot to be done 1259 01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 2: before they get to that point. I mean, they're just 1260 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,720 Speaker 2: starting with experimentation now, which is what this Jacksonville two 1261 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 2: weeks sojourn over there was. 1262 01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,520 Speaker 4: There's just yeah, there's just and and I've said this 1263 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,960 Speaker 4: on the show before. I spoke with a high level 1264 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,120 Speaker 4: executive years ago and I said, what about you know, 1265 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:41,320 Speaker 4: sending having four teams in Europe or expanding again. You know, 1266 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 4: you've done it twice in my lifetime lifetime and he said, 1267 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 4: he says, we're not going to do it. There's just 1268 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 4: not enough good players available with the product would go 1269 01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:56,960 Speaker 4: downhill exponentially when you take if there's two teams, you 1270 01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,200 Speaker 4: got sixty four of the best players off of the 1271 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 4: other rosters around the league. And you start leaving holes 1272 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,800 Speaker 4: in rosters. Every roster's got some spots in it. 1273 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 9: Now. 1274 01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,160 Speaker 4: There are some who are stronger than others, you know, 1275 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 4: like the Bills. Up until these injuries. The Bills were strong, 1276 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 4: Philly's strong. San Francisco is strong, Dallas is strong, Miami's 1277 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,520 Speaker 4: got a great offense. But you know that things start 1278 01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 4: to get You start to find holes in teams pretty quickly, 1279 01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:25,160 Speaker 4: and those that would spread exponentially if you start plucking 1280 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 4: guys off those rosters. 1281 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 2: Quick little update concerning Buffalo's next opponent, the New York Giants. 1282 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 2: According to New York Daily News reporter Pat Leonard, who 1283 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 2: covers the Giants, Brian Dabele, does not have results of 1284 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones x raisor scans yet. He left yesterday's game 1285 01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,240 Speaker 2: against the Dolphins with a neck injury, but day Ball 1286 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 2: Says said in his press conference today he is quote 1287 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:50,919 Speaker 2: optimistic about Daniel Jones possibly playing against the Bills this week. 1288 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 2: If he cannot play, it would be Tyrod Taylor starting 1289 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 2: against his former team on Sunday night. But we're a 1290 01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,480 Speaker 2: long way from Sunday night, so we'll have to see 1291 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,440 Speaker 2: how the week gress is and what the Wednesday injury 1292 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,760 Speaker 2: report looks like for the Giants not to mention the 1293 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,520 Speaker 2: Bills with their laundry list of injuries. But back to 1294 01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,240 Speaker 2: the phones and to Jager and Albany, what do you 1295 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 2: got for us? 1296 01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 14: Hey, you guys? What going on? 1297 01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 2: Not much? 1298 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 16: So one quick question about I completely agree with you, Steve. 1299 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 16: The broadcast was so bad. There was no replays, everything 1300 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,439 Speaker 16: was missing. I missed football in America, yestually. This game 1301 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 16: just made me realize that even more. But one big 1302 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:33,160 Speaker 16: question was that catch, the one that McDermott contested and 1303 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,560 Speaker 16: challenge and they held, you know, the play on the field. 1304 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 16: If the Calvin Johnson catch wasn't a catch because he 1305 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,400 Speaker 16: didn't make a move on the way to a ground, 1306 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 16: how was that a catch? And did you guys feel 1307 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 16: as though Mike Pereiro was trying to hint at while 1308 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 16: we've never seen that and we don't have a rule 1309 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 16: for that, or or was I looking too far into it? Yeah? 1310 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:51,960 Speaker 4: I did? 1311 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, your thanks. I'll probably let Steve take that 1312 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 2: part of it because I was doing the broadcast, so 1313 01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 2: I'm not privty what they were saying on TV or 1314 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 2: what Perero was saying. But from what we were told 1315 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 2: the reason it was ruled to catch was because he 1316 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 2: caught the ball, his elbow struck the ground, thereby ending 1317 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 2: the play, and then Dorian Williams raked the ball out 1318 01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:18,000 Speaker 2: to pry it loose. So by their definition, the receiver 1319 01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,240 Speaker 2: is down by contact as soon as his elbow hit 1320 01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 2: the ground, and it was a reception, right, And what 1321 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 2: were they saying? What was Perira saying, like, there isn't 1322 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:27,880 Speaker 2: a rule for that? What are you talking about? 1323 01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 4: Well, I can't remember exactly, and I can go back 1324 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,480 Speaker 4: and listen to the broadcast again, but I what happened 1325 01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,320 Speaker 4: was they called him down because I thought they gave 1326 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,240 Speaker 4: him possession because he was he hadn't put the ball away, right, 1327 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:42,880 Speaker 4: But it was like one of those things where you 1328 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,800 Speaker 4: catch on the sidelines, hold it up, yeah, and then 1329 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 4: he catches it, goes down, slides and the ball starts 1330 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 4: to move and then it gets raked out. But to 1331 01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 4: rake it out you got to touch the guy. He's down, 1332 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 4: and it's a very it happens very fast. I didn't 1333 01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,440 Speaker 4: have a real problem with it. 1334 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,800 Speaker 2: Once I saw the elbow, I knew how it was 1335 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 2: going to be. 1336 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 4: That was going to be called and that's all. That's 1337 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,439 Speaker 4: all you can ask for as a fan. It didn't 1338 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,919 Speaker 4: go the bill's way, but as long as it goes 1339 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 4: your way the next time that happens, I don't have 1340 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 4: a problem with it. You're right when you know, I 1341 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 4: don't know what catch he was talking about. What was 1342 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 4: he talking about, Kelvin Benjamin Ketch back in it New 1343 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 4: New England. No, No, he was talking about. 1344 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 2: I can't remember the reference that he just used. I can't. 1345 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,040 Speaker 2: I can't either, but it wasn't Kelvin. That's the thing. 1346 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 4: If they get it consistent, I can live with it, 1347 01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,639 Speaker 4: and that seemed consistent to me. When he was down, 1348 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,839 Speaker 4: they gave him the catch and slid, he was sliding, 1349 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 4: and then they touched him as they were trying to 1350 01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,880 Speaker 4: rake the ball out. He's down right there, so that's it. 1351 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,439 Speaker 4: The play is over, and that it you have to 1352 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 4: call it. So yeah, it was. It's a very fast play. 1353 01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,840 Speaker 4: It happened really fast. But I was okay with it 1354 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,000 Speaker 4: because it was consistent with what I understood to be 1355 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,200 Speaker 4: the rules at the time. So I don't think they 1356 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 4: went outside of that. You know, there's times back in 1357 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:56,240 Speaker 4: years past where. 1358 01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 2: But it's one you can live with. You can understand 1359 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,160 Speaker 2: how they rule that. And as soon as I all 1360 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:01,200 Speaker 2: the elbows. 1361 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:04,040 Speaker 4: Like okay, well that I can live with it because 1362 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,400 Speaker 4: of the consistency of the call. That's all I can say. 1363 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 4: That it's stunk that it was you know, didn't come out, 1364 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 4: But I can live with that. 1365 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,559 Speaker 2: So Chris in Brooklyn, next, what you got for us? 1366 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:20,400 Speaker 17: Chris, Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. First, there 1367 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 17: was a Chris from Brooklyn who called about a week 1368 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 17: ago and suggested that Kyiri Elan should get some starts. 1369 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:28,960 Speaker 17: I want to just say, I have no idea who 1370 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,599 Speaker 17: that man is. Never listen to him ever. 1371 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 2: Again, he's putting a tough spot in fairness, you know, 1372 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 2: not playing for four weeks, and it's like, okay, we 1373 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 2: know you haven't played for a month. Here's Calvin you 1374 01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:41,759 Speaker 2: know in the preseason, here's Calvin Ridley in the regular season. 1375 01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 2: Get used to it fastco one hundred percent. 1376 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,120 Speaker 17: I mean, I actually think the defense deserves some credit. 1377 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,519 Speaker 17: I mean they were on the field with the entire game. 1378 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,519 Speaker 17: The turf was bad, they're tired, so they actually played 1379 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,160 Speaker 17: their hearts out and but a little bit of support 1380 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 17: from the offense, that game would have had a different outcome. 1381 01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 17: The only the only question I have for you, guys. 1382 01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 17: I just two quick questions. The first is, do you 1383 01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,599 Speaker 17: think the Bills should be on the market for a 1384 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:09,160 Speaker 17: new dB and potentially some help at the linebacker position, 1385 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,599 Speaker 17: And if so, who do you think the Bills should 1386 01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 17: be interested in. And on the other on the offensive side, 1387 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 17: it seems to me like James Cook, the guy does 1388 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,280 Speaker 17: not want to be hit and he's not going to 1389 01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 17: explode through the line to get a lot of extra yard. 1390 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,640 Speaker 17: So I'm not sure why the Bills keep trying to 1391 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 17: run him up the middle as opposed to trying to 1392 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,840 Speaker 17: run him to the side with and and hope that 1393 01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:30,799 Speaker 17: his speed can get him around the edge and maybe upfield, 1394 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 17: and instead try to use like some of the bigger 1395 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 17: backs like Murray if they want to run up the middle. 1396 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 17: Those are only two questions. Appreciate you guys as always, 1397 01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:38,960 Speaker 17: and I'll hang up with the same. 1398 01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:40,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem, Chris. 1399 01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 4: Here's the thing. Yeah, I mean, they'll be in there. 1400 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 4: They're always in the market for better players. Hard time 1401 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:48,679 Speaker 4: a year to find a better player than the ones 1402 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,479 Speaker 4: on your roster that have made your team. There might 1403 01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 4: be some guys out on the street. You might trade 1404 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:59,800 Speaker 4: for a veteran player who's not playing for another team. 1405 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 2: But there are reports that Denver is shopping Patrick Sirtan, 1406 01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,000 Speaker 2: who would be a fantastic corner to acquire, but he 1407 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 2: costs a lot of money. You'd have to have dollars 1408 01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 2: out for dollars in. And I don't know if Denver 1409 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 2: is interested in a player, they might be interested in 1410 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,000 Speaker 2: draft capital to try to rebuild something on that roster 1411 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 2: because something is horribly wrong out there. 1412 01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,000 Speaker 4: Now, Pat, you know, I could listen. We can take 1413 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 4: Pat Cirtan and be happy about it, Yeah, no question, 1414 01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,640 Speaker 4: But you can't fit him under the cat. 1415 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 2: They got three point two in space. Like I said, 1416 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,360 Speaker 2: you'd have to have dollars out for dollars in. That's 1417 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 2: that's the only way you're pulling that off. Yeah, which 1418 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,240 Speaker 2: means trade another trade a player on your roster for 1419 01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 2: a player on their roster. So yeah, I mean, it's 1420 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 2: it's a tough time of the year to need that 1421 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:48,640 Speaker 2: much influx of players to make it happen. But I'm 1422 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:52,160 Speaker 2: not saying it's impossible, but it's challenging at this time 1423 01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:56,760 Speaker 2: of the year. That's the issue. I don't know if 1424 01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 2: there's a. I'm looking up really quick what Certan's salary 1425 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:02,920 Speaker 2: is because I was trying to remember if he's still 1426 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,800 Speaker 2: on his rookie contract, which he is. He's in his 1427 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 2: third year of his rookie contract, and his cap hit 1428 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 2: his five to seven, So you'd have to move two 1429 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 2: and a half million dollars out to fit him under. 1430 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 2: And I think you'll be giving up a pretty high 1431 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 2: draft pick as well for a player of his caliber. 1432 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,439 Speaker 2: I mean by people consider him the best corner in football. 1433 01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that would Yeah, that's a guy that helps. 1434 01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 4: But you you've got some real gymnastics to jump through 1435 01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:31,719 Speaker 4: to make that happen. 1436 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,240 Speaker 2: I mean, you could do an Elim for certain, if 1437 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 2: you want to, if they'd take it, well, if they do, yeah, 1438 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 2: and well and some draft capital presumably. 1439 01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:43,520 Speaker 4: Right, well yeah, but then you still got to cut somebody. 1440 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:47,519 Speaker 2: Well no, well you'd have to see. The money doesn't 1441 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,840 Speaker 2: even out with him and Elim because Elum is only 1442 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,640 Speaker 2: a year two, he's in year three. Yeah, there's some 1443 01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,240 Speaker 2: juggling you'd have to do there for sure. But he 1444 01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,360 Speaker 2: is supposedly on the market and available, so see, you 1445 01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,720 Speaker 2: want to pursue that, you can want to lob a 1446 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:08,480 Speaker 2: phone call, go ahead, linebacker. Sure you can find linebackers 1447 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,080 Speaker 2: out there. You have aj Klein on the practice squad. 1448 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,640 Speaker 2: He's a veteran who knows the system, and you know 1449 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 2: you can use him in certain respects. But I think 1450 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 2: he's you know, I think we all know his limitations. 1451 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:26,400 Speaker 2: We've seen enough of him. I think they roll the dice. 1452 01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 2: I would be inclined to go with Dorian Williams. Did 1453 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 2: he miss him tackles because he was flying around too fast? Yeah, 1454 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,720 Speaker 2: I missed about three tackles, and I think that's one 1455 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 2: of the reasons Tyrrell doesn't went in and finished the game. 1456 01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 2: But I think he could do a lot worse than 1457 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:44,280 Speaker 2: Dorian Williams. I think he is athletic, maybe as athletic 1458 01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:48,000 Speaker 2: as Matt Malono, just maybe not as instinctive as as 1459 01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 2: of yet because he doesn't have the same amount of experience. 1460 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,559 Speaker 2: But I think Dorian Williams is somebody you can grow with, 1461 01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:58,320 Speaker 2: and I would I would give it a go again 1462 01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,880 Speaker 2: this week. I really would for him him and start 1463 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 2: him next to Bernard and see if he can grow 1464 01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,760 Speaker 2: each week and get better and better. And if he does, 1465 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 2: you may have something there that you can that you 1466 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:15,640 Speaker 2: can win with. He's not gonna be Milano, but you 1467 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,519 Speaker 2: got it. There's a reason why man Millana's an All 1468 01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:18,880 Speaker 2: Pro because a lot of people aren't. 1469 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 4: But and we've we said this a little bit, Terrell 1470 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,280 Speaker 4: Bernard couldn't get on the field because I mean he 1471 01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 4: was sitting behind Tremaine Edmonds. Terrell Bernard can play, but 1472 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:30,120 Speaker 4: you didn't know. 1473 01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:34,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't know. I really thought that Dorian Williams 1474 01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 2: was an active player. As soon as he stepped into 1475 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 2: the game, you noticed him right away. He wasn't perfect, 1476 01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:43,920 Speaker 2: as I said. He over ran some plays, missed some tackles. 1477 01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 4: But you don't overrun plays if you don't see him, 1478 01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,519 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Right, So he's seeing it 1479 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 4: and he's getting there. 1480 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 2: And this team, this defensive staff, coaches don't hesitate. If 1481 01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,599 Speaker 2: you see it, go get it. And he did. He did. 1482 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,160 Speaker 2: There was just a couple of times he didn't break 1483 01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,280 Speaker 2: down to make the actual tackle. 1484 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,920 Speaker 4: Sometimes you get out there and you know particularly you know, 1485 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:03,479 Speaker 4: you might take the wrong angle and stuff. 1486 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 2: But he's gonna be better for that. This week. You 1487 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,600 Speaker 2: would think, where he's not gonna do that. So I 1488 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,040 Speaker 2: would put him out there again and see if he's better. Yeah, 1489 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 2: you know, and and hope he goes on the ascent 1490 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,560 Speaker 2: knowing there's a very strong likelihood he's gonna have to 1491 01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:18,160 Speaker 2: play a lot of snaps for you right at the 1492 01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:19,320 Speaker 2: weak side linebacker spot. 1493 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,800 Speaker 4: We'll see, we'll see, but who knows. 1494 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 2: Break time for us here more of your phone calls 1495 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 2: when we return, and we will get around the locker 1496 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 2: room here on one Bill's Live. Stay tuned, all right, 1497 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:48,720 Speaker 2: We're gonna get back to your phone calls in a 1498 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 2: quick second here at eight oh three, oh five fifty. 1499 01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,120 Speaker 2: We do have an open line or two for you, 1500 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:54,760 Speaker 2: but if you're on hold, stay there. We got to 1501 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 2: take a quick trip around the locker room. Presented by 1502 01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,479 Speaker 2: connect Life, your blood and organ donor network. We begin 1503 01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,320 Speaker 2: with Stefan Diggs, who had a big day again over 1504 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 2: one hundred yards and another touchdown, but he spoke to 1505 01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:12,680 Speaker 2: the lack of urgency in Sunday's performance against the Jaguars. 1506 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,679 Speaker 18: I felt like on the sideline, I kind of felt 1507 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 18: it a little bit, and I went on the I 1508 01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:19,880 Speaker 18: went on the field and I was just, you know, 1509 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,280 Speaker 18: echoing sense of urgency to get out of the huddle. 1510 01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:25,160 Speaker 18: Let's let's let's have that mindset. You know, we have 1511 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,120 Speaker 18: it in practice and you try to build off of 1512 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,160 Speaker 18: it in the game. I'm saying, it's supposed to be easier. 1513 01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 18: What I'm saying, you work hard in practice and you 1514 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,120 Speaker 18: it's the carryover. It's supposed to be all you gonna 1515 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,640 Speaker 18: have fun now. So I felt like, you know, we 1516 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 18: did have a little I'm not gonna say lack of 1517 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 18: days school, but we were kind of like just not 1518 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:41,600 Speaker 18: as you know, let's go get it, let's get after it. 1519 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 18: I'm saying, we were kind of trying to figure it out. 1520 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:45,760 Speaker 18: But that lack of sense of urgency, you know, it 1521 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:47,720 Speaker 18: showed what I'm saying. And then when we get in 1522 01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 18: that mode of not necessarily rushing, but more so like, okay, 1523 01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,519 Speaker 18: we got a score. You saw that, So you know, 1524 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:55,760 Speaker 18: definitely something to learn from and a lot of things 1525 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:57,200 Speaker 18: to learn from. 1526 01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 2: All right. He's not wrong there, And coach mcgerm said 1527 01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 2: it too. We did not match their energy at the 1528 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 2: start of the game. And coach McDermott here he is 1529 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:11,679 Speaker 2: addressing their slow start against the Jaguars on Sunday in London. 1530 01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:17,599 Speaker 19: Start the game faster, number one. You know, I think 1531 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,840 Speaker 19: we started three and out, three and out, four and out, maybe. 1532 01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:23,759 Speaker 4: Four punts in a row, I believe. 1533 01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,639 Speaker 19: So we got to get started faster and just the overall, 1534 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 19: you know, getting the ball back to the offense, offense, 1535 01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:35,280 Speaker 19: sustaining a drive right. Penalties, you know, too many times 1536 01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 19: shooting ourselves in the foot, whether we're about to get 1537 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 19: off the field or we're starting to get into rhythm offensively, 1538 01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 19: and then we have a penalty that's or a negative 1539 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,760 Speaker 19: play that sets us back. So just all in all, 1540 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:45,400 Speaker 19: not good enough. 1541 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:51,040 Speaker 2: He's not wrong in that assessment, and he at another 1542 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:54,240 Speaker 2: time he said we just did not match the Jaguars 1543 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,200 Speaker 2: energy at the start of the game. They had better 1544 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 2: energy than we did at the beginning, which then led 1545 01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 2: to all the speculations about jet lag and travel and 1546 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:03,759 Speaker 2: all that stuff. 1547 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 4: I mean, you can, I mean, certainly you can make 1548 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,719 Speaker 4: the argument, but the bottom line is this. The Bills 1549 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:10,719 Speaker 4: had the opportunity to go over there early. They didn't, 1550 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,800 Speaker 4: and it's been a minute since they've been over there, 1551 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:18,760 Speaker 4: and you don't know how you're going to react to 1552 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:24,280 Speaker 4: it until you get over there. It's no question they'd 1553 01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:25,840 Speaker 4: probably do it differently if they had it to do 1554 01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,599 Speaker 4: over again. But one of the It wasn't so much 1555 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,920 Speaker 4: the travel or the jet It was the travel, the 1556 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 4: jet lag was the injuries, you know, but that's football, 1557 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:35,680 Speaker 4: you go. You got to play through stuff like that. 1558 01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,639 Speaker 4: There's no excuses for that. There are reasons you lose games, 1559 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,559 Speaker 4: but when you start giving reasons because you think you 1560 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:43,679 Speaker 4: have a better team than the other team. Jacksonville played 1561 01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 4: really well in that game. Give them some credit. Trevor 1562 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,200 Speaker 4: Lawrence is a good quarterback, Travis atn is a really 1563 01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,759 Speaker 4: good running back, and Calvin Ridley is an elite wide receiver. 1564 01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:56,800 Speaker 4: Those guys carried that team. They scored twenty five points. 1565 01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,519 Speaker 4: It wasn't like they scored forty seven. Scored twenty, so 1566 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:04,000 Speaker 4: it gives you a chance. The Bills did not execute 1567 01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:08,360 Speaker 4: well enough offensively to score. That's it. I mean, you 1568 01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 4: lose games like that. It was a five point game. 1569 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 4: They had a chance to you know, get it. They 1570 01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:16,120 Speaker 4: got it close. But you got to finish those games off, 1571 01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:20,280 Speaker 4: and the Jaguars did. The Bills did not. Seasons not 1572 01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:22,880 Speaker 4: over by a long shot. You got to regroup, no question. 1573 01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,519 Speaker 4: You got to refurbish the roster with some fresh faces 1574 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:30,479 Speaker 4: because you got nobody else left standing. I don't think 1575 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,040 Speaker 4: this team's gonna fall off a cliff because of this loss. 1576 01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,200 Speaker 4: Now they're gonna bounce back and play well, you know it. 1577 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 4: They did it last year to the tune to thirteen 1578 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,840 Speaker 4: and three. They're gonna do it again this year. But 1579 01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:47,320 Speaker 4: these last two weeks, the injuries have been you know, 1580 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,960 Speaker 4: for a team that significant right during the drought years, 1581 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 4: if this happens, it's catastrophic. It'st It hurts now, but 1582 01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,599 Speaker 4: not to the same extent as a team that wouldn't 1583 01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:00,719 Speaker 4: be prepared for. This is a deep ross. Sure, they're 1584 01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,680 Speaker 4: gonna win some games going forward, but man o, man h, 1585 01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 4: this was a bad these was a bad last two games. 1586 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, very bad last year injury stand for sure. Let's 1587 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 2: finish around the locker room on a high note. Bill's 1588 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 2: defensive n aj Epanessa on the success he had against 1589 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:21,040 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence and what was a career day against the Jaguars. 1590 01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,519 Speaker 20: We know how he wanted to escape the pocket, and 1591 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,200 Speaker 20: I put a lot of emphasis on that this week, 1592 01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,240 Speaker 20: and so there were a couple of times where, you know, 1593 01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:30,560 Speaker 20: it kind of felt like he knew where he was 1594 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,880 Speaker 20: going at times with his feet just because of the 1595 01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:34,160 Speaker 20: tendencies find the past. 1596 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:34,880 Speaker 2: It's exciting. 1597 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 20: You know, everyone wants to always have a great game 1598 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 20: and do things, get a sack. 1599 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:39,920 Speaker 5: And do all that. 1600 01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:41,840 Speaker 20: I'm just saying you, I could impact the game, help 1601 01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:43,920 Speaker 20: my team. I mean, at least give us a chance 1602 01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:44,519 Speaker 20: to win the game. 1603 01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:47,920 Speaker 2: So that's aja addressing it. That's around the locker room, 1604 01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:51,000 Speaker 2: presented by Connect Life, your Blood and organ Donor Network. 1605 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,600 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and to Tim and 1606 01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 2: west senecon X what do you got for his Tim? 1607 01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:58,160 Speaker 2: You're on one Bill's Live, Hi, Steve. 1608 01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:04,479 Speaker 9: You know they they've been running on offense that I 1609 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 9: really agree with Josh under center, protecting him as the 1610 01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,679 Speaker 9: second level of defenders. When he comes from under center, 1611 01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 9: it has to take more time for them to recognize 1612 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 9: whether it's a run or a pass versus the shotgun. 1613 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:25,320 Speaker 9: And they've been doing really well at that, and yesterday 1614 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 9: they weren't very successful at that. And there's a time 1615 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 9: the last three games unbelievable, but there's a time where 1616 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 9: you have to let Josh put on a Superman cape 1617 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,639 Speaker 9: and a five point game, four rushes for fourteen yards. 1618 01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,240 Speaker 9: Yesterday was the day for him to put on the 1619 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,040 Speaker 9: Superman Cape. And it didn't happen. And I don't know 1620 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 9: if it's if it's the coaching staff that is kind 1621 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,320 Speaker 9: of telling him, hey, we're going to do this under center, 1622 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 9: We're going to keep a conservative so on a so forth, 1623 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:57,800 Speaker 9: or if he just didn't make the decision on his 1624 01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:02,679 Speaker 9: own to you know, take off, make some superstar plays, 1625 01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:06,520 Speaker 9: hurdle a couple of players, and do his thing. Five points. 1626 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:10,080 Speaker 9: I think he could have, you know, made a difference 1627 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:11,200 Speaker 9: if he would have went off. 1628 01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, he did, no question, Tim, Yeah, And I it's 1629 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:18,680 Speaker 4: a good question. When when does Josh go into the 1630 01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:20,680 Speaker 4: phone booth and take the suit off and become go 1631 01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,200 Speaker 4: from Clark Kent into you know, superman. I get it. 1632 01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 4: I will say this, there are plenty of guys on 1633 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,000 Speaker 4: this roster who were in a spot that could have 1634 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 4: made a difference. You got you got key penalties, key 1635 01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,600 Speaker 4: drop passes, you got guys who didn't finish plays. The 1636 01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:40,439 Speaker 4: defense played very well, particularly under the circumstances they were 1637 01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 4: put under, with the way that that game unfolded early 1638 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,400 Speaker 4: when they lost a couple of real key players and 1639 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,680 Speaker 4: they already walked in there with backups playing. So the 1640 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:53,000 Speaker 4: defense really picked their side of the of the game 1641 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:57,120 Speaker 4: up the offense did not, and I don't think he 1642 01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 4: lay that all at Josh's feet. The guy threw for 1643 01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 4: three fifty nine two touchdowns. I sooner or later, if 1644 01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:11,080 Speaker 4: this team's gonna turn the corner and go the distance, 1645 01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 4: somebody other than Josh or Steph is gonna have to 1646 01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 4: step up and be a great player, at least for 1647 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:21,599 Speaker 4: a minute. Nobody's done that yet this year. They haven't 1648 01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,840 Speaker 4: needed it because well three and two. But nobody's done 1649 01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,400 Speaker 4: that this year, and they're gonna have to find somebody 1650 01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,200 Speaker 4: who can step up. And we all think maybe a 1651 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 4: Dalton kin k could do it, or may Hey, James 1652 01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,200 Speaker 4: Cook could do it, or Gabe Davis is his time, 1653 01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 4: or Trent Sherfield or hard somebody. They need somebody to 1654 01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 4: step up and be one more way the Buffalo Bills 1655 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:48,400 Speaker 4: can beat another team. As of yet, besides Steph and Josh, 1656 01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 4: we haven't seen it. The offensive line played really well 1657 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 4: at for time, the running game was going good and 1658 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,519 Speaker 4: all that, and James Cook has had a couple of 1659 01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,800 Speaker 4: nice games, but it's been in conjunction with everything else. 1660 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,880 Speaker 4: Nobody else has risen to the level of Josh and 1661 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,559 Speaker 4: Steph for any stretch of the imagination yet this year, 1662 01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:07,200 Speaker 4: and I think they need to. 1663 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I want to address what he said 1664 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 2: about play action under center. You know, we had a 1665 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,600 Speaker 2: long conversation with ESPN's dan Orlowski, who will have on 1666 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:20,959 Speaker 2: the show again tomorrow when he makes his weekly appearance. 1667 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 2: He thinks Josh could be the best quarterback in football 1668 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:28,120 Speaker 2: as a play action passer. They didn't do it. I 1669 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:31,559 Speaker 2: didn't feel like they did it as much as they 1670 01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,160 Speaker 2: did the previous three weeks. And I think based on 1671 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,400 Speaker 2: these numbers that I just found that would be accurate. 1672 01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:38,840 Speaker 2: Because I haven't gone play by play on the film yet, 1673 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:42,240 Speaker 2: I'll try to do that tomorrow. But so far this season, 1674 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:46,400 Speaker 2: the Bills have fifty one plays in which they have 1675 01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 2: used play action. That is sixteen percent of their total 1676 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 2: plays on offense this season. That is a decrease of 1677 01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:59,639 Speaker 2: seven percent from last week when they were at twenty 1678 01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:03,320 Speaker 2: three almost twenty four percent of their plays in play action. 1679 01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,960 Speaker 2: Now it's down to sixteen percent. So that number went 1680 01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,719 Speaker 2: down with this game this past week. So my eyes 1681 01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:12,680 Speaker 2: did not deceive me. Less play action this week. When 1682 01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:16,000 Speaker 2: they did use it, it was effective and on the 1683 01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:20,599 Speaker 2: season Josh Allen is thirty five of forty three passing. 1684 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,360 Speaker 2: That's eighty one point four percent completion. Thirty five of 1685 01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:27,160 Speaker 2: forty three passing for five hundred and ninety one yards 1686 01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 2: and seven touchdowns, one sack. He also has two scrambles 1687 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:37,880 Speaker 2: for eight yards off play action, no interceptions. Yeah. 1688 01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 4: I'll say this though as well. The lack of a 1689 01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,200 Speaker 4: running game and the fact that they were in second 1690 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:50,120 Speaker 4: and long, third and long probably curtailed their ability or 1691 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,840 Speaker 4: confidence in going under center and running a fake dive 1692 01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:59,760 Speaker 4: play action pass on second and you feel anybody's buying it, 1693 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:04,599 Speaker 4: well yeah, yeah, And plus the Jacksonville did a nice 1694 01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:06,920 Speaker 4: job of getting pressure on Josh yesterday as well and 1695 01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 4: taking away his first read. He had to hang onto 1696 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,959 Speaker 4: the ball for a little bit too long yesterday, particularly 1697 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:16,040 Speaker 4: given the quality of the Jaguars pass rush, so that 1698 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:17,960 Speaker 4: probably went into the mix as well. I don't think 1699 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,719 Speaker 4: they deliberately took play action out of their game plan, 1700 01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,639 Speaker 4: but I think they were so far behind the sticks, 1701 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,519 Speaker 4: not really far behind, but you know, second along and 1702 01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:32,439 Speaker 4: then third and long, it was often enough that it 1703 01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:34,240 Speaker 4: took him out of what they liked to do, and 1704 01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,880 Speaker 4: that play action they weren't in third and two very much, 1705 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:39,720 Speaker 4: a third and four to seven very much. And they 1706 01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:44,720 Speaker 4: weren't certainly weren't very much in second and four very much, 1707 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,840 Speaker 4: so at least early in the game. So all of 1708 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,760 Speaker 4: that plays a part in what they feel comfortable doing 1709 01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:53,759 Speaker 4: offensively when they get and Josh said it in his postgame, 1710 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,960 Speaker 4: they get in red situations where they're behind their schedule 1711 01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 4: on down a distance to get the first down, and 1712 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 4: it it affected their play calling and their ability to execute. 1713 01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones in just a second. 1714 01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,040 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we're up against the break. So Marcus and 1715 01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,920 Speaker 2: Charlotte don in Rochester will lead off with you when 1716 01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:12,920 Speaker 2: we get back here on one Bill's Live presented by 1717 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:14,560 Speaker 2: Collide Health, It's Buffalo Bill's. 1718 01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:29,200 Speaker 4: Raiding, all right. 1719 01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,439 Speaker 2: Right back to the phone to some people waiting patiently. 1720 01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:37,280 Speaker 2: First to Marcus and Charlotte. What do you got first? Marcus, Marcus, 1721 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:37,840 Speaker 2: are you with us? 1722 01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:38,720 Speaker 9: Yeah? 1723 01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,000 Speaker 12: I'm here. What's up? Chris, Steve? 1724 01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:41,599 Speaker 2: How you doing? 1725 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,080 Speaker 4: Good man? 1726 01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:46,680 Speaker 21: So my issue, I don't like to complain about the 1727 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,840 Speaker 21: jet lag. I don't like to use that as an advantage. 1728 01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,320 Speaker 21: But one issue that I did notice is that the 1729 01:27:53,439 --> 01:28:00,360 Speaker 21: Jags both both these games in London were How is 1730 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 21: that fair that they were one over there to play 1731 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 21: a week before and then the next week there's still 1732 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:07,479 Speaker 21: the away team but they got to stay and the 1733 01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:10,320 Speaker 21: other team got to travel, Yeah, and come to them, 1734 01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:13,080 Speaker 21: Like I think, if they're gonna be with them being 1735 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,760 Speaker 21: over there as much as they are, why aren't they 1736 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,160 Speaker 21: home games for them? Like when we had to play 1737 01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 21: in Toronto and they were home games for us. 1738 01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I get that. The home and away thing where 1739 01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 4: the home fountain like the Bills. It cost the Bills 1740 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:32,240 Speaker 4: a home game here at home, right right? I get well, right, Yeah, 1741 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,679 Speaker 4: there's a lot of stuff when you start pulling games 1742 01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:37,840 Speaker 4: and going to neutral sites. I say neutral sites, whether 1743 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:39,960 Speaker 4: you designate one teams the home team or the way team. 1744 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:40,559 Speaker 2: It's in London. 1745 01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:44,120 Speaker 4: Nobody's in London except the teams we take over there, 1746 01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:45,760 Speaker 4: So I get that. 1747 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:49,960 Speaker 2: I just for the record, Jacksonville is the home team 1748 01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:50,920 Speaker 2: last week. 1749 01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:53,080 Speaker 4: Right, so they gave up and they were in a 1750 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:54,280 Speaker 4: different stadium too, so. 1751 01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,080 Speaker 2: That's their home stadium, Wembley. 1752 01:28:57,200 --> 01:29:00,160 Speaker 4: I get that. I mean, and anytime you start move 1753 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 4: teams like that, you're going to run into this, particularly 1754 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:03,479 Speaker 4: when it's a five hour time change. 1755 01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 2: Right. And now, remember this is the year that AFC 1756 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:11,160 Speaker 2: teams have the extra home game because it's a seventeen 1757 01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,559 Speaker 2: game season, nine at home, eight away. 1758 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,560 Speaker 4: Right, That's why we had two away games in the preseason. 1759 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 2: So they gave away one of the bills nine home 1760 01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:23,280 Speaker 2: games to play in London, and by rule, you have 1761 01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 2: to play overseas once every eight years. They waited as 1762 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,080 Speaker 2: long on the Bills as they could. This is the 1763 01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:32,360 Speaker 2: eighth year, so I look, I get the frustration with it. 1764 01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,519 Speaker 2: I think it was a if you want to argue 1765 01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:37,759 Speaker 2: it was a more even playing field for the Falcons 1766 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,320 Speaker 2: last week because they and the Jaguars traveled at the 1767 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,559 Speaker 2: same time, got in England at the same time, got 1768 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:47,040 Speaker 2: as much time to acclimate and played. I will listen 1769 01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:52,120 Speaker 2: to that. I think there is a difference there because 1770 01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:56,000 Speaker 2: it was not even in terms of Bills and Jaguars 1771 01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,599 Speaker 2: and acclamation period. For sure. I will listen to that 1772 01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,200 Speaker 2: and tell you if you want to say it was 1773 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,080 Speaker 2: a factor in the game, I would be inclined to 1774 01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:06,160 Speaker 2: agree with you. I don't think it was the ultimate factor, 1775 01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:10,200 Speaker 2: but I think it was a factor. To Don in Rochester. Next, 1776 01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:11,200 Speaker 2: what do you got Don. 1777 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 22: Yeah, how you do it? 1778 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:13,639 Speaker 11: Guys? 1779 01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,920 Speaker 22: All right, good, I just want to get your opinion. 1780 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,559 Speaker 22: It just seems to me like in certain instances when 1781 01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:21,920 Speaker 22: we're fourth and one, fourth and short, you know, you 1782 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:26,400 Speaker 22: watch you know, the Eagles performed the Brotherly Shove. You know, 1783 01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:28,960 Speaker 22: we had to watch Tom Brady for years going, you know, 1784 01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:32,760 Speaker 22: for you know, with fourth and one and stuff like that. 1785 01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:35,320 Speaker 22: You know, we got a stud back there. He can 1786 01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:37,840 Speaker 22: get it every time. Just about it. I'm ninety percent 1787 01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:40,040 Speaker 22: sure that Josh could get it every time. And I 1788 01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:42,040 Speaker 22: don't know why we're not doing that moving forward. 1789 01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:43,680 Speaker 4: Well, the one time you don't get it, you're in 1790 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,559 Speaker 4: your own thirty yard line, you give the other team 1791 01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:48,240 Speaker 4: three points at least, if not six or seven. So 1792 01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:51,360 Speaker 4: that's the only reason not to All right, I'm with you. 1793 01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:54,599 Speaker 4: And for the most part, Sean McDermott does go for it. 1794 01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:59,520 Speaker 4: But it's hard to make. It's hard to even with analytics. 1795 01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 4: It's hard to your offenseive go out there and go 1796 01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:02,880 Speaker 4: for it on fourth and one when they haven't made 1797 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:04,719 Speaker 4: a first down in four series. 1798 01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:09,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's see. The thing is a lot of outside 1799 01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:14,040 Speaker 2: observers look at the fourth down situation and just say, well, 1800 01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:17,559 Speaker 2: it's fourth and two, and the analytics across the league 1801 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:19,559 Speaker 2: say on fourth and two teams get a fifty eight 1802 01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:22,040 Speaker 2: percent of the time. But you can't treat it in 1803 01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:26,920 Speaker 2: a vacuum. You can't treat that analytic metric number in 1804 01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,720 Speaker 2: a vacuum. What if you're going against the number one 1805 01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,720 Speaker 2: defense and short yardage in the league, you have to 1806 01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:35,680 Speaker 2: factor that in. What if your offense is sputtering and 1807 01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:38,320 Speaker 2: you've stunk in short yardage to that point and you're 1808 01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:40,599 Speaker 2: on your own half of the field, you'd be more 1809 01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:44,960 Speaker 2: reluctant to do it. So there are game situations and circumstance. 1810 01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:46,960 Speaker 2: How much time is left in the game, are you 1811 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,519 Speaker 2: up on the scoreboard or down on the scoreboard? How 1812 01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 2: is your defense playing? These are all things that a 1813 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:55,880 Speaker 2: coach has to factor in in that moment, not just 1814 01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:59,120 Speaker 2: what the metric says. And I think too many people 1815 01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,800 Speaker 2: lose sight of that and say, ah, should have gone 1816 01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:02,040 Speaker 2: for it. 1817 01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:02,280 Speaker 1: There. 1818 01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,200 Speaker 2: You know the metrics said this, but there are so 1819 01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:09,040 Speaker 2: many other variables that do not get incorporated into that metric, 1820 01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 2: like all the things I just listed, and so people 1821 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:16,519 Speaker 2: can just arbitrarily say, ah, bad decision, should have gone 1822 01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:21,760 Speaker 2: for it. There so it's not that simple. And look, 1823 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:25,800 Speaker 2: are there coaches in this league that are too conservative? Yes? 1824 01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,479 Speaker 2: Would I put coach McDermott in that category. No, I 1825 01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:32,960 Speaker 2: don't think he's the most aggressive, but he's certainly not 1826 01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:33,960 Speaker 2: the most conservative. I'm not. 1827 01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,479 Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with Sean McDermott's when to 1828 01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:38,120 Speaker 4: go for it when not to because he goes for 1829 01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:40,599 Speaker 4: it a fair amount of the time. Yeah, he goes 1830 01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,280 Speaker 4: for when I would go for it when it's fourth 1831 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:46,080 Speaker 4: and one on your own twenty nine or your own 1832 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:49,280 Speaker 4: twenty nine or thirty four yard line something like that. No, 1833 01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:52,439 Speaker 4: you gotta pune it away and trust, particularly with when 1834 01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:56,479 Speaker 4: you've got a defense that has played really well. So 1835 01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 4: I'm it's particularly early in this game. 1836 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:01,040 Speaker 2: People had an issue with the fourth and ten in 1837 01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:04,519 Speaker 2: plus territory at the forty two. That's a sixty yard 1838 01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:09,280 Speaker 2: field goal or are you going for it? And they punted. 1839 01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,599 Speaker 2: So they had a problem with the punt there, especially 1840 01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:13,280 Speaker 2: with the struggles they were having just to get over 1841 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:17,439 Speaker 2: midfield offensively. I could understand it, but the chances of 1842 01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:20,120 Speaker 2: converting a fourth and ten are extremely low. If I'm 1843 01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:22,960 Speaker 2: doing anything there, I'm putting bass out there to kick 1844 01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:25,920 Speaker 2: a sixty yarder. That's the only thing I'm doing other 1845 01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:26,840 Speaker 2: than punting. 1846 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:28,599 Speaker 4: To get to that. To go for it on fourth 1847 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:30,719 Speaker 4: and ten, you got to overcome what you've already said. 1848 01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:33,840 Speaker 4: You're struggling offensively, So now you're going to get it 1849 01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:36,519 Speaker 4: on fourth and ten. Yeah, you're going to convert that 1850 01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:38,680 Speaker 4: after you It's tooth and nail just to get a 1851 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 4: first down on regular down and you can't even do it. 1852 01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:43,000 Speaker 4: Now you're going to go for it on fourth and ten. 1853 01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:45,599 Speaker 4: I have a problem with that. Fourth and ten are 1854 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:48,759 Speaker 4: come on, now, sixty yard field goal. 1855 01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,960 Speaker 2: With that guy then maybe, yeah, that would be the 1856 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:52,640 Speaker 2: one thing I might have thought. 1857 01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:55,360 Speaker 4: Particularly kicking it off the concrete. Yeah, you know, so 1858 01:33:55,400 --> 01:34:00,479 Speaker 4: I'm gonna sit up for it, right, Yeah, that maybe. 1859 01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:04,840 Speaker 4: But if you're gonna if that's on the table, me, 1860 01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:08,000 Speaker 4: you know, do the tush push and get instead of 1861 01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 4: a sixty yard make it a fifty six yarder. Do 1862 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,240 Speaker 4: a quarterback sneak. Well it's fourth down there, I know, 1863 01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:15,880 Speaker 4: on fourth and tent, right, So you got to fourth 1864 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:20,240 Speaker 4: and ten somehow get some yardage, man, Yeah. 1865 01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:23,479 Speaker 2: Fourth and ten, no, come on, we have to step 1866 01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,640 Speaker 2: aside here. Our number three however, will begin with my 1867 01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:30,439 Speaker 2: broadcast partner Eric Wood. He is still back in Mario, 1868 01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:33,599 Speaker 2: London waiting to catch a flight back to the States, 1869 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:35,799 Speaker 2: but he is going to join us when we return 1870 01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:38,160 Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. It's 1871 01:34:38,160 --> 01:36:00,520 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Radio. 1872 01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:25,200 Speaker 1: The One Bills Live presented by Kalia Health. 1873 01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:28,479 Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number three and time 1874 01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:32,440 Speaker 2: for our weekly visit with the world traveler currently residing 1875 01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 2: in the Philadelphia Airport. He is already stateside. It is 1876 01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:39,000 Speaker 2: my broadcast partner and former Bill center Eric Wood, joining 1877 01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:41,519 Speaker 2: us on the line for some of his thoughts about 1878 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,840 Speaker 2: this week five game. That was a bitter pill to 1879 01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:49,519 Speaker 2: swallow yesterday, especially from an offensive perspective. But Eric, how 1880 01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:52,600 Speaker 2: do you come out of this in terms of concern 1881 01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:56,240 Speaker 2: for the Bills going forward? Obviously the injuries are piling 1882 01:35:56,320 --> 01:36:00,600 Speaker 2: up quickly, but the Bills still make a game of 1883 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:04,680 Speaker 2: this thing. Are you are you ringing alarm bells or 1884 01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:08,240 Speaker 2: are you more curious as to how the shorthanded nature 1885 01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:10,200 Speaker 2: of this roster is going to be addressed? Should be 1886 01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:12,920 Speaker 2: fine going forward. Let's just let it play out and 1887 01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:14,840 Speaker 2: see if they can triage the situation. 1888 01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,960 Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean I'm definitely not ringing the bells the 1889 01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:22,120 Speaker 23: I'm not ringing the sirens at this point, but there 1890 01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:26,120 Speaker 23: is definitely some concern. The injuries even more concerning, necessarily 1891 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 23: than the losses yesterday. You know, yes, it's a conference game. 1892 01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:31,560 Speaker 23: You don't want to drop those at any point in 1893 01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:35,559 Speaker 23: the season. But man, just with the amount of starters 1894 01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:37,759 Speaker 23: that they've now lost in the defense side of the football, 1895 01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:40,840 Speaker 23: and two guys that I truly thought were playing the 1896 01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:44,160 Speaker 23: best at their position in the entire NFL off ball 1897 01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,360 Speaker 23: linebacker Matt Milano and noseguard and Daikwon Jones. I mean, 1898 01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:50,720 Speaker 23: losing those two guys, the potentially season ending injuries is 1899 01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:53,679 Speaker 23: just brutal for the defense that was already down two 1900 01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:56,960 Speaker 23: cornerbacks yesterday, starting defense Ben greg Rissau. You have Von 1901 01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:59,160 Speaker 23: Miller on a pitchcown coming off in ACL, so you 1902 01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:03,599 Speaker 23: can't over extend. And so no, you still have Josh Allen, 1903 01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:05,800 Speaker 23: you still have so much star power, especially on the 1904 01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,640 Speaker 23: offensive side of the football. And then the biggest thing 1905 01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:11,840 Speaker 23: yesterday was you had all those injuries early in the 1906 01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:15,480 Speaker 23: game and you just don't have that many guys, especially. 1907 01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:18,040 Speaker 24: Up front, and it just wore on those guys late 1908 01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:18,599 Speaker 24: in the game. 1909 01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:20,880 Speaker 23: And you know, when you look at how the game 1910 01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:24,280 Speaker 23: played out, those back to back three and outs to 1911 01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:26,839 Speaker 23: start the game, when those injuries are happening on defense 1912 01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,800 Speaker 23: and you punt two more times in a row, what 1913 01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:32,559 Speaker 23: that did to the stamina of that defense, especially that 1914 01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:35,840 Speaker 23: front four was really tough when you looked at the 1915 01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:37,040 Speaker 23: longevity of the football game. 1916 01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:40,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, and is that game wore on still an amazing 1917 01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,920 Speaker 4: feat They really didn't give up that last touchdown until 1918 01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,599 Speaker 4: you know, they were like all out mode, going zero 1919 01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:48,639 Speaker 4: blitz on a couple of different plays, trying to stop 1920 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:49,960 Speaker 4: them at the line of screams to get the ball 1921 01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,160 Speaker 4: back to Josh Allen. Then they give up the long touchdown, 1922 01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:56,719 Speaker 4: and then the Bills go back forty five seconds, four plays, 1923 01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:59,080 Speaker 4: seventy five yards touchdown. Now they're right back to a 1924 01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:03,040 Speaker 4: single digit I mean, this game it showed, it showed 1925 01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:04,960 Speaker 4: the worst part about what was going on with the Bills, 1926 01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,400 Speaker 4: and then it showed the best part as well. And 1927 01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:09,600 Speaker 4: it's and it's always like we've seen the I was 1928 01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:12,559 Speaker 4: reference in this with Brownie over the last two or 1929 01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,000 Speaker 4: three years. It's one of those losses by a single 1930 01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:18,000 Speaker 4: possession where you just feel like you ran out of 1931 01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:21,800 Speaker 4: time and you're looking at your you know, the team 1932 01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:24,840 Speaker 4: walks in looking at themselves, going, man, how did this 1933 01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,880 Speaker 4: game get away from us? Even with all the you know, 1934 01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,840 Speaker 4: the finger quotes, the excuses that we had, that was 1935 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:32,120 Speaker 4: a game they needed to win. 1936 01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:35,639 Speaker 23: No, I agree, we could run through those and talk 1937 01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,800 Speaker 23: about those for the next fifteen minutes, but that's not 1938 01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:39,439 Speaker 23: that's probably what you guys have been doing for the 1939 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:41,479 Speaker 23: last couple hours. Usually haven't tuned in for at least 1940 01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,479 Speaker 23: part of the show. This week, I truly was in 1941 01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:46,120 Speaker 23: the air, so I couldn't. But anyways, you know, when 1942 01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:48,240 Speaker 23: you talk about the travel and you talk about the 1943 01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:52,200 Speaker 23: penalties and the injuries, yes, those are all valid excuses, 1944 01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:55,240 Speaker 23: and they're valid reasons you lost the football game. But man, 1945 01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:58,560 Speaker 23: to me, you just start that slow offensively. 1946 01:38:59,000 --> 01:38:59,880 Speaker 9: It's just it. 1947 01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,240 Speaker 23: It's tough in this league to bounce back from those. 1948 01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:03,920 Speaker 23: You have a couple turnovers in the game. The one 1949 01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:05,880 Speaker 23: was super late and the one was essentially an arm 1950 01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:09,280 Speaker 23: punt by Josh. Those aren't, you know, vital turnovers. But 1951 01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:13,320 Speaker 23: to me, moving forward, there are positives to take from 1952 01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:16,880 Speaker 23: this football game. The play from aj Apandessa has been 1953 01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:20,960 Speaker 23: outstanding lately. At Oliver played another great game. I thought 1954 01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:25,080 Speaker 23: Bernard played another good game. You seem to have some death. 1955 01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:29,080 Speaker 23: I thought Dorian Williams and Dotson yesterday both shown showed 1956 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:33,759 Speaker 23: some pretty good signs at that off ball linebacker position 1957 01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:35,559 Speaker 23: if they're going to have to play an extended period 1958 01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:38,080 Speaker 23: of time this year. There was enough positives from the game. 1959 01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:41,040 Speaker 23: There's still that firepower on offense. And you know what 1960 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:44,360 Speaker 23: I'm thinking about, Okay, what can the Bills do differently 1961 01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:48,719 Speaker 23: offensively to maybe start faster? Well, isn't this hasn't necessarily 1962 01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:50,799 Speaker 23: been a week to week thing. Last week against Miami, 1963 01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:52,720 Speaker 23: you drive right down the field on the first two 1964 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,839 Speaker 23: possessions of the game and score back to back touchdown. 1965 01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:59,400 Speaker 23: So it's not like this is a trend. But yesterday 1966 01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:02,400 Speaker 23: it just seemed like, in an effort to be patient 1967 01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:06,040 Speaker 23: and conservative, when the first down's there, with Josh's legs, 1968 01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:08,960 Speaker 23: he's not necessarily taking it, and it's you know, that 1969 01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:11,519 Speaker 23: short throw to Cook on the first one that just 1970 01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:13,599 Speaker 23: barely off the mark, and it's a three and out, 1971 01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:16,519 Speaker 23: and it's a check down to Kincaid and he's one 1972 01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:18,800 Speaker 23: yard short on the second one, and it's a three 1973 01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,679 Speaker 23: and out. It's like, man, when we start these games, 1974 01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:23,839 Speaker 23: it's got to be like you went into the Miami 1975 01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:25,679 Speaker 23: game knowing you're gonna have to put up a bunch 1976 01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:28,400 Speaker 23: of points, and so you started that game off pretty 1977 01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:32,760 Speaker 23: aggressively and game plan wise and attacking all aspects of 1978 01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,439 Speaker 23: the field. I'm not sure I saw that yesterday, and 1979 01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:38,439 Speaker 23: I'm not sure if that's intentionally from the game planning 1980 01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:41,680 Speaker 23: or just simply what the Jaguars looks were dictating what 1981 01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:43,560 Speaker 23: was available for the Bills offense. I don't want to 1982 01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:45,880 Speaker 23: be hyper critical without watching the game film. 1983 01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:48,639 Speaker 2: I do know one area which you know you pay 1984 01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:52,160 Speaker 2: close attentionent to every week, Eric, the line of scrimmage 1985 01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:55,720 Speaker 2: was a struggle yesterday on the offensive side of the ball. 1986 01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:58,000 Speaker 2: The two point one yards per carry average on the 1987 01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:01,519 Speaker 2: on the run side speaks to that. What did you 1988 01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:05,320 Speaker 2: see maybe as some of the chief issues up front? 1989 01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:07,599 Speaker 2: Why because this is the first time since Week one 1990 01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,639 Speaker 2: where they really got beat at the line of scrimmage yesterday. 1991 01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:14,719 Speaker 23: Yeah, and well, the run game just wasn't there yesterday. 1992 01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:18,120 Speaker 23: There was penetration at times. Pretty talented front for the Jags, 1993 01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:21,040 Speaker 23: but there was penetration at times which affected the run game, 1994 01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,840 Speaker 23: and then when we've seen this Bill's run game take off, 1995 01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:27,599 Speaker 23: you know, really the last three weeks. A big reason 1996 01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:30,160 Speaker 23: for that is they were doing what the Jaguars did 1997 01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:32,559 Speaker 23: us yesterday. They wear down the other team's defense, they 1998 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:34,479 Speaker 23: keep them on the field, and then late in the 1999 01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:36,960 Speaker 23: game you're getting those chunk runs. You're getting a majority 2000 01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,200 Speaker 23: of your rushing yards in the second half. Well, that 2001 01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:43,120 Speaker 23: was the blueprint to beat the Bills yesterday, and we 2002 01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:46,360 Speaker 23: saw etn late go over one hundred yards and break 2003 01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:48,519 Speaker 23: the one for a touchdown late because they had worn 2004 01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:52,599 Speaker 23: down the Bills defense. And so I'm not overly concerned 2005 01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:54,760 Speaker 23: with the run game struggles yesterday. When you're down two 2006 01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:56,320 Speaker 23: scores in the second half, you're going to have to 2007 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:59,040 Speaker 23: throw the ball consistently, and they put up a bunch 2008 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:02,439 Speaker 23: of yards there, but you never want to rush, you know. 2009 01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:04,519 Speaker 23: James Cook, the first player of the game, rushes for 2010 01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:07,120 Speaker 23: five yards and then he ends up on the entire 2011 01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:09,800 Speaker 23: day with five carries for minus four like that, that 2012 01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,559 Speaker 23: is alarming. But the fact that they really couldn't lean 2013 01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:14,240 Speaker 23: into the run game in the second half, to me, 2014 01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:18,200 Speaker 23: is part of the reason we didn't see any effectiveness there. 2015 01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:20,320 Speaker 4: So going forward, you know, we got the Giants coming 2016 01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:23,960 Speaker 4: in Sunday Night football. I think it's really almost at 2017 01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:25,960 Speaker 4: this point. I know it's early in the season, early 2018 01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:28,240 Speaker 4: in the week, we're kind of always in this spot, 2019 01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:30,479 Speaker 4: but you kind of sitting to see, like, where's the 2020 01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,320 Speaker 4: roster gonna be on Sunday night, right right? 2021 01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:36,800 Speaker 23: Because of the Yeah, there's just so many injuries. You know, 2022 01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:39,920 Speaker 23: what do we see at corner? Kyir Elam filled in 2023 01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:43,920 Speaker 23: this week? Is Benford going to be back? And then 2024 01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:46,519 Speaker 23: in that case we would assume it's Jackson and Benford 2025 01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:50,960 Speaker 23: at corner. If not, is it Elam JaMarcus Ingram filled 2026 01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,040 Speaker 23: in for elm late? 2027 01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:52,639 Speaker 9: Is it him? 2028 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:54,559 Speaker 24: Is it Dotson or is it Hey? 2029 01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:56,840 Speaker 23: With a full week of prep, Williams can play next 2030 01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,800 Speaker 23: to Bernard in the middle of that defense. Who's lining 2031 01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:03,280 Speaker 23: up starters along the defensive line, who's healthy. There's just 2032 01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:05,920 Speaker 23: so many question marks, especially on the defensive side of 2033 01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:06,439 Speaker 23: the football. 2034 01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:07,400 Speaker 24: It's gonna be interesting. 2035 01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,760 Speaker 23: I mean, Brandon Bean has his work cut out for him, 2036 01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:13,960 Speaker 23: and obviously all the evaluations need to take price with 2037 01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,759 Speaker 23: these injuries. But you got to get bodies over there 2038 01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:20,360 Speaker 23: because you know, yesterday those guys just they got too 2039 01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:23,840 Speaker 23: worn down. And look, it's generally one side of the 2040 01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:26,200 Speaker 23: ball that gets dinged up worse than the other. And 2041 01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:28,760 Speaker 23: right now it's the defense, and it's in these next 2042 01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:30,719 Speaker 23: coming weeks, and really they needed yesterday. 2043 01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,040 Speaker 24: They just didn't come through for him. The offense has 2044 01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:33,880 Speaker 24: got to step up. 2045 01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:37,960 Speaker 23: They've got to put pressure on opposing defenses or sorry, 2046 01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:41,040 Speaker 23: opposing offenses to where they make them play more aggressive 2047 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,839 Speaker 23: because the Bills are playing with the lead. Wouldn't surprise 2048 01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:47,679 Speaker 23: me to see maybe Sean McDermott switch up is defer 2049 01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:50,280 Speaker 23: to start the game to try and put points on 2050 01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:52,599 Speaker 23: the board, to you know, try and get a jump 2051 01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,599 Speaker 23: start on teams in games. But this Bill's offense has 2052 01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,800 Speaker 23: just got to click earlier in the game. And then 2053 01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:01,240 Speaker 23: they got to stay on the field well, because when 2054 01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:03,559 Speaker 23: you have so many guys injured, you cannot leave your 2055 01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:05,479 Speaker 23: defense out on the field for as much as they 2056 01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:06,160 Speaker 23: did yesterday. 2057 01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:10,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, and knowing going forward, like even the defensive end position, 2058 01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:13,800 Speaker 2: they do have depth, Erek, but von Miller could still 2059 01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,120 Speaker 2: be on a pitch count next week. You don't know 2060 01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,000 Speaker 2: if Russeau has a day to day injury or a 2061 01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:20,920 Speaker 2: week to week injury. Leonard Floyd was dragging his leg 2062 01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:24,000 Speaker 2: around at the end of the game yesterday, just gutting 2063 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,960 Speaker 2: it out because they had nobody else. Kingsley Jonathan went 2064 01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,400 Speaker 2: in and out of the game. Jack Lawson was down 2065 01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:32,280 Speaker 2: with the tow and ankle. I mean, you may see 2066 01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:34,880 Speaker 2: a practice squad elevation for a guy like Cameron Klein 2067 01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,200 Speaker 2: this week, just so you know you have enough guys 2068 01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:40,759 Speaker 2: with snaps. You should be okay defensive tackle because Poonaford's active, 2069 01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,320 Speaker 2: not inactive this week presumably if Dai Kwon's not available, 2070 01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:48,880 Speaker 2: so you should be okay there conceivably. But do you 2071 01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:52,280 Speaker 2: here's the question, do you call the defense a little 2072 01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:55,000 Speaker 2: more aggressively to help yourself maybe on the back end, 2073 01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:57,960 Speaker 2: so to speak, if you have enough pass rushers to 2074 01:44:58,000 --> 01:44:58,919 Speaker 2: get after somebody. 2075 01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:02,960 Speaker 23: Well, Sean tried that yesterday late in the game, and right, 2076 01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:05,320 Speaker 23: I mean Trevor Lawrence, and really, I mean give them 2077 01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:07,120 Speaker 23: credit on that throw and catch. I mean that over 2078 01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,320 Speaker 23: the shoulder throwing catch with the guy barreling down on 2079 01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:11,720 Speaker 23: him when Bill's brought seven. I mean, that's that's a 2080 01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:14,799 Speaker 23: big boy play and that essentially wins them the football 2081 01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:17,599 Speaker 23: game in that moment, and really put it out. 2082 01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:20,400 Speaker 24: Of reach for the Bills because that was third down. 2083 01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:23,080 Speaker 23: I think Trevor Lawrence yesterday like nine on third and 2084 01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:25,280 Speaker 23: fourth down he was nine to ten with like one 2085 01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:28,439 Speaker 23: hundred and forty yard. I mean, he was excellent in 2086 01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:32,640 Speaker 23: those kind of clutch situations. But yeah, I mean I 2087 01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:36,519 Speaker 23: think you'll probably see a defensive end get elevated this week, 2088 01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:40,360 Speaker 23: likely would be Klin. So you have more bodies at 2089 01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:43,479 Speaker 23: that position because you just need depth. And yeah, hopefully 2090 01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:46,400 Speaker 23: Bond can increase his snap count this week. Maybe you 2091 01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:48,760 Speaker 23: get a Russau back, not sure on that one, maybe 2092 01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,320 Speaker 23: a shack back, but you need bodies up there. 2093 01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:54,680 Speaker 24: And look, I mean, even without Dai Kwan. 2094 01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,840 Speaker 23: Jones, that's a really talented front up there, and you'd 2095 01:45:57,880 --> 01:45:58,880 Speaker 23: like to think that they can. 2096 01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,479 Speaker 24: Create pressure with fool or to where you're giving some 2097 01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:03,360 Speaker 24: over the top help on the back end. 2098 01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:06,599 Speaker 23: But yeah, if you're struggling that corner like the Bills 2099 01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:10,160 Speaker 23: were yesterday, you got to try something. And credit Shoon 2100 01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:14,280 Speaker 23: for not just continuing to allow the Jaguars to dictate 2101 01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:16,000 Speaker 23: to him, and he did light him up with some pressures. 2102 01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:18,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's that's really the key, is the pressure. 2103 01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:19,760 Speaker 4: And then how many guys you have to send to 2104 01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,400 Speaker 4: get there. The more you send, the few Yeah. 2105 01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:26,040 Speaker 23: Yeah, Because heading into the Jacksonville game, the Bills are 2106 01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:30,240 Speaker 23: the best in the NFL at pressuring opposing quarterbacks, bringing 2107 01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:33,320 Speaker 23: the second least amount of blitzes in the entire league. 2108 01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:36,240 Speaker 24: And so they've been so good at that and that look. 2109 01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:37,960 Speaker 23: And we could give all the credit to the front, 2110 01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:40,720 Speaker 23: but it's also the complexity of the back end of 2111 01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:43,800 Speaker 23: the Bills defense and how they mix man and zone 2112 01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,960 Speaker 23: constantly and the different looks. One of my favorite things 2113 01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:49,080 Speaker 23: that the Bills do, and I rarely see it from 2114 01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:51,360 Speaker 23: other teams, is and I'm not sure if this is 2115 01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:54,760 Speaker 23: an in play adjustment or not, but when teams just 2116 01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:57,640 Speaker 23: run the receiver across the field just to get a 2117 01:46:57,720 --> 01:47:00,439 Speaker 23: simple manner zone read, there's a lot of time where 2118 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,960 Speaker 23: Taron Johnson will run with that guy, which is shoot 2119 01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:07,479 Speaker 23: signal man to the offense, and then they run zone 2120 01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:09,920 Speaker 23: behind it and you just see that quarterback pause just 2121 01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:12,200 Speaker 23: enough were then the pass rush is able to get home. 2122 01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:16,160 Speaker 2: Quick thing about the Giants, Eric, which I'm sure you 2123 01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:18,080 Speaker 2: have your ear to the ground on to some degree, 2124 01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:20,839 Speaker 2: they are now the worst offense in football and thirty 2125 01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:25,200 Speaker 2: first in points scored. Their defense isn't much better, twenty 2126 01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:29,120 Speaker 2: ninth against the run and twenty ninth in points allowed. 2127 01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:33,160 Speaker 2: It has been a precipitous fall from grace for Brian 2128 01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,519 Speaker 2: Dables team. Do you throw that all out the window? 2129 01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:40,479 Speaker 2: Knowing that there could be a little a little bit 2130 01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:46,679 Speaker 2: of coach v coach situation here, knowing I mean day 2131 01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:49,840 Speaker 2: Ball and his offensive coordinator Mike Kafka have kind of 2132 01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:53,200 Speaker 2: gone back and forth on calling plays. He's taken away 2133 01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:55,320 Speaker 2: from him a couple of times so far this season. 2134 01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:58,840 Speaker 2: So we could see, you know, a resumption of what 2135 01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:01,639 Speaker 2: we saw in Week four, or head coach versus head 2136 01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:05,720 Speaker 2: coach McDaniel versus McDermott. We might have Dable versus McDermott 2137 01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:07,879 Speaker 2: head to head here, offense versus defense. 2138 01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:11,479 Speaker 23: Yeah, and regardless if Dave Ball's calling the players or not, 2139 01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:15,160 Speaker 23: he's gonna be instrumental in the game plan for this week, 2140 01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:18,559 Speaker 23: just with this familiarity with going against Sean and practice. 2141 01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:18,680 Speaker 9: Now. 2142 01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:20,960 Speaker 23: Leslie Fraser was a defense coordinator during the time that 2143 01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:23,280 Speaker 23: Dave Ball was with the Bills, but Sean has so 2144 01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:25,519 Speaker 23: much influence there, So yes, this is gonna be a 2145 01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:27,080 Speaker 23: motivated giant staff. 2146 01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:28,120 Speaker 24: You know they're building. 2147 01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:31,479 Speaker 23: You know, they're similar to how we felt early on 2148 01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:35,439 Speaker 23: in the McDermott Bean era, where it's like Charlotte North, 2149 01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:38,120 Speaker 23: the Carolina Panthers North. They kind of feel like they're 2150 01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:42,280 Speaker 23: Bills East right now. With the amount of guys from 2151 01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:44,960 Speaker 23: you know, whether they're Bills cuts or guys that they 2152 01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:47,240 Speaker 23: pick up and guys on their coaching staff, there's gonna 2153 01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:49,400 Speaker 23: be a lot of motivation there. There's gonna be a 2154 01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:51,200 Speaker 23: lot of motivation on this Bills team too. You play 2155 01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,599 Speaker 23: in front of your home crowd coming off of loss 2156 01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:56,280 Speaker 23: over in London, they're gonna they're gonna be looking to 2157 01:48:56,280 --> 01:49:00,599 Speaker 23: bounce back as well. So I wouldn't expect the extra 2158 01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:04,160 Speaker 23: motivation to be slanted one way over the other just 2159 01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:07,120 Speaker 23: because those guys came from this Bill staff. 2160 01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:09,759 Speaker 4: One of the things we've been talking about here also 2161 01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:12,920 Speaker 4: is that you know, you got Josh on this offense. 2162 01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,320 Speaker 4: He's playing at a high level. Steph Diggs is playing 2163 01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:18,280 Speaker 4: at a high level. James Cook has had some nice 2164 01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:21,240 Speaker 4: games and some moments. Dalton kin Kid has made some 2165 01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:24,640 Speaker 4: nice catches, not really a big play yet. Yesterday to 2166 01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:26,960 Speaker 4: start the game off the first third down, James Cook 2167 01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:28,760 Speaker 4: has that ball go through his hands and it's up 2168 01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:31,360 Speaker 4: three and out on the first series. The next series, 2169 01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:34,320 Speaker 4: Dalton Kinkaid catches a flat route, turns it up and 2170 01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:36,400 Speaker 4: again runs out, gets run out of bounds before the 2171 01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:40,680 Speaker 4: first down. Marker picked somebody on this offense that you 2172 01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:44,519 Speaker 4: think needs to elevate to get to where Diggs is, 2173 01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,640 Speaker 4: to get to where Josh is some other way, some 2174 01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:50,200 Speaker 4: other guy that can win a game for the Bills 2175 01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:53,519 Speaker 4: offensively where they've got Diggs and Josh and they're kind 2176 01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:58,080 Speaker 4: of looking for that third guy, another person, another way, 2177 01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:01,280 Speaker 4: another aspect of this offense to emerge and give him 2178 01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,400 Speaker 4: another way to win in a game like they had 2179 01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:06,120 Speaker 4: yesterday in Jacksonville against Jacksonville. 2180 01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:09,000 Speaker 23: Yeah, that's a that's a great question, see because as 2181 01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:10,920 Speaker 23: me and Chris were talking about adjustments coming out of 2182 01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:13,720 Speaker 23: the half, my halftime adjustment for the Bills offense is 2183 01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:15,559 Speaker 23: force speed Digs. There's no one that can cover him 2184 01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:17,639 Speaker 23: over there, just force speed him. And they did that 2185 01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:21,080 Speaker 23: at times in the second half. But yeah, when you 2186 01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:24,400 Speaker 23: look at that kind of that next spot behind Diggs, 2187 01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:26,599 Speaker 23: like you'd want to see Davis develop into it. He's 2188 01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:29,720 Speaker 23: had four touchdowns of four games he's played well, but 2189 01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:32,400 Speaker 23: then you just have that crucial drop, the one against 2190 01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:35,479 Speaker 23: the Commanders that Josh then throws the interception a couple 2191 01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:39,200 Speaker 23: of plays later on the one yesterday. Later in the game, 2192 01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:42,840 Speaker 23: it's like those little plays, whether it's the tight end 2193 01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,880 Speaker 23: position to either Knox or Kincaid that can make some 2194 01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:47,880 Speaker 23: plays that can kind of get up near that like 2195 01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:51,479 Speaker 23: eighty yard mark in the game. And then look, Cook 2196 01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:53,960 Speaker 23: showed flashes of being that guy, whether it's on the 2197 01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:55,120 Speaker 23: ground or through the air. 2198 01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:57,479 Speaker 24: Just got to do it on a more consistent basis. 2199 01:50:57,479 --> 01:50:59,840 Speaker 23: And whether that's the blocking and scheme or whether that 2200 01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:03,439 Speaker 23: you know him just having struggles within the game, someone's 2201 01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:05,120 Speaker 23: got to step up there. I wish I had a 2202 01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:08,120 Speaker 23: more concrete answer for you other than that might be 2203 01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:10,280 Speaker 23: a week to week thing, like we kind of saw 2204 01:51:10,560 --> 01:51:13,160 Speaker 23: a hearty breakout a little bit in the second half yesterday. 2205 01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:15,920 Speaker 23: It might be a week to week thing to where, Okay, 2206 01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:20,040 Speaker 23: all this because look, opposing defensive coordinators are only gonna 2207 01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:24,040 Speaker 23: let Digs go for six over one hundred yards and 2208 01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:27,160 Speaker 23: one to three touchdowns a game for so long before 2209 01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:30,400 Speaker 23: they simply say, Okay, we gotta fully take him away, 2210 01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,479 Speaker 23: do anything we can make someone else beat him and 2211 01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:35,040 Speaker 23: it might be a week to week thing there. 2212 01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:37,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you took the words out of my mouth with Hardy. 2213 01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:41,040 Speaker 2: I think we saw some downfield ability that we heard 2214 01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:44,160 Speaker 2: Brandon Bean talk about in regard to Hardy in the offseason. 2215 01:51:44,760 --> 01:51:48,200 Speaker 2: Maybe seeing that on film this week will get him 2216 01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:52,559 Speaker 2: more opportunities this coming week against the Giants. Safe travels, Eric, 2217 01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:55,479 Speaker 2: Good luck getting home on leg number two here, and 2218 01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:56,960 Speaker 2: we'll catch up with you at the end of the week. 2219 01:51:58,240 --> 01:51:59,200 Speaker 12: Okay, sounds good. 2220 01:51:59,240 --> 01:51:59,679 Speaker 24: Thanks guys. 2221 01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:01,600 Speaker 2: All right, that's Eric Wood joining us here as he 2222 01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:05,640 Speaker 2: does every Monday after Bill's games with his insight on 2223 01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,640 Speaker 2: the performance. Yeah. I mean I was encouraged by what 2224 01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:11,040 Speaker 2: I saw from Deontay Hardy. Granted it's only two targets, 2225 01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:13,800 Speaker 2: two catches, but they go for sixty two yards. There 2226 01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:16,559 Speaker 2: was some there was a downfield component to his game 2227 01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,439 Speaker 2: yesterday that to this point we had not seen. And 2228 01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:23,280 Speaker 2: so I'm wondering coaches reviewing the film looking back at that, saying, 2229 01:52:23,400 --> 01:52:25,559 Speaker 2: you know what, maybe we get him on the field 2230 01:52:25,600 --> 01:52:29,519 Speaker 2: a little bit more to threaten a defense, you know, 2231 01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:32,880 Speaker 2: to create more room underneath for people like Kincaid or 2232 01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:36,240 Speaker 2: Cook on a checkdown. You know, maybe Hardy because of 2233 01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:39,719 Speaker 2: what he did yesterday, gets himself more opportunities this coming 2234 01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:40,799 Speaker 2: week against the Giants. 2235 01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:43,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got to have somebody go out there get 2236 01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:45,559 Speaker 4: an opportunity that they, like I said, hit it out 2237 01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:47,320 Speaker 4: of the park. I mean, they got to take a 2238 01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:51,120 Speaker 4: swing on somebody and have somebody get a hit. They 2239 01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:53,519 Speaker 4: haven't been able to do that consistently. James Cook has 2240 01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:56,200 Speaker 4: gotten the most opportunity and done the most with it, 2241 01:52:57,360 --> 01:53:02,800 Speaker 4: but guys like Kincaid has been an outlet at best. 2242 01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,840 Speaker 4: Knox has been about what we thought he would be. 2243 01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:09,200 Speaker 4: Particularly given the presence of Kincaid, his role has changed 2244 01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:12,600 Speaker 4: a little bit from where it has been in the past. 2245 01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:19,400 Speaker 4: I like what they've done with Murray and Harris, Damien Harris. 2246 01:53:19,479 --> 01:53:21,479 Speaker 4: I love what they've done with those guys. They've helped. 2247 01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:24,960 Speaker 4: But Gabe Davis, I mean, he had one hundred yards 2248 01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:28,640 Speaker 4: receiving yesterday, had the touchdown, and he's been effective. 2249 01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:33,360 Speaker 2: But you know, four touchdowns in four games, right, producing 2250 01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:37,080 Speaker 2: in some capacity? Yeah, just not volume, right right? 2251 01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:38,720 Speaker 4: I mean you got one hundred yards yesterday and had 2252 01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:44,040 Speaker 4: a few five catches, six catches, you know, I don't know. 2253 01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:46,160 Speaker 2: That volume every week would be good, but you don't 2254 01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:48,200 Speaker 2: get six for one hundred. Last week it was three 2255 01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:50,280 Speaker 2: for sixty one. Right, still had to touch it. But 2256 01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:52,679 Speaker 2: it's three for sixty one, then it's six for one hundred. 2257 01:53:52,760 --> 01:53:55,840 Speaker 2: You need five six six seven, five six. If he's 2258 01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:57,120 Speaker 2: going to be your number two option. 2259 01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:01,240 Speaker 4: You've got this football team that's Josh Allen step offensively, 2260 01:54:01,439 --> 01:54:03,880 Speaker 4: Josh Allen Steph digs. This offensive line is doing well, 2261 01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:07,439 Speaker 4: but you need others. I think you gotta you gotta 2262 01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:08,559 Speaker 4: cultivate others. 2263 01:54:08,920 --> 01:54:11,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's why I was encouraged by Hardy. I mean, 2264 01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:14,320 Speaker 2: he only gets fifteen snaps and he gets two catches 2265 01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:16,880 Speaker 2: for sixty two yards. I mean that big forty three 2266 01:54:16,960 --> 01:54:19,960 Speaker 2: yarder was was a big play that was instrumental in 2267 01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:23,240 Speaker 2: them getting down the field and into plus territory. Shakir 2268 01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:28,120 Speaker 2: plays nineteen snaps, he has one catch. Like you're hoping 2269 01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:33,240 Speaker 2: that the supporting role guys can affect the game more 2270 01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:38,200 Speaker 2: than we saw yesterday. Maybe they need more snaps to 2271 01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:42,520 Speaker 2: do that. And some people might argue that, Look, if 2272 01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:46,680 Speaker 2: Kincaid's gonna play thirty two snaps and you know, catch 2273 01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:50,800 Speaker 2: two balls, maybe you shouldn't get thirty two snaps, right, 2274 01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:53,440 Speaker 2: Maybe you got to go back to eleven personnel more. 2275 01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:58,280 Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know. I I mean, I'm not saying 2276 01:54:58,320 --> 01:55:00,640 Speaker 4: say yes, but I'm just floating down this. And I 2277 01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:02,840 Speaker 4: said this last week and have said this for the 2278 01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:05,240 Speaker 4: last couple of weeks. And you know, they're scoring thirty seven, 2279 01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:08,000 Speaker 4: thirty eight, forty seven points on all these teams and 2280 01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:12,400 Speaker 4: they're just singing offensively. You don't need that stuff then, 2281 01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:14,720 Speaker 4: but in a game like you better have something on 2282 01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:17,720 Speaker 4: the burner that you're willing to try. And maybe they 2283 01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:20,160 Speaker 4: did yesterday. I just didn't notice it or see it. 2284 01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:23,440 Speaker 4: But yesterday they got into a spot where nobody was 2285 01:55:23,480 --> 01:55:25,960 Speaker 4: really executing at a hot razor sharp level like they 2286 01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:31,680 Speaker 4: had for whatever reason, injuries, time change, road environment at 2287 01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:35,320 Speaker 4: a home environment, kind of weird thing of funky schedule 2288 01:55:35,360 --> 01:55:37,560 Speaker 4: at the end of the week. Who knows why, but 2289 01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:41,480 Speaker 4: they weren't sharp. And that's why I'll say it again, 2290 01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:45,480 Speaker 4: it's not once you get in these games, the players 2291 01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:49,320 Speaker 4: got to execute and make a play. And it's not 2292 01:55:49,400 --> 01:55:51,920 Speaker 4: so much a game plan or philosophy and get that, 2293 01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:53,920 Speaker 4: but somebody's got to step up and make the most 2294 01:55:53,920 --> 01:55:57,960 Speaker 4: of an opportunity and nobody did. Nobody did. You had 2295 01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:00,640 Speaker 4: some guys that had great games, but Steph and Josh 2296 01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:05,520 Speaker 4: Allen everybody knows about and they can manage that. But 2297 01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:06,960 Speaker 4: you got to give him something they're not ready for. 2298 01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:08,440 Speaker 4: They can give you a chance to stay on the 2299 01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:10,520 Speaker 4: field and not let the other team have thirty eight 2300 01:56:10,560 --> 01:56:12,920 Speaker 4: minutes of time of possession. 2301 01:56:13,320 --> 01:56:17,160 Speaker 2: Right, let go to the phones and to Steven in 2302 01:56:17,200 --> 01:56:20,880 Speaker 2: north Tonawanda. Hang on, what do you got for a Steven? 2303 01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:25,040 Speaker 2: You're on one. Bill's Live, Steven? 2304 01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:25,760 Speaker 4: Are you there. 2305 01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:27,560 Speaker 15: All right? 2306 01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:29,880 Speaker 2: I'll put him on hold. Maybe he's not listening right now. 2307 01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:34,320 Speaker 2: The other thing, Steve, that I saw just in reviewing 2308 01:56:34,360 --> 01:56:38,400 Speaker 2: my notes again leading up to this game, Jacksonville best 2309 01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:43,520 Speaker 2: defense in football defending twelve personnel. They've got a box 2310 01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:46,400 Speaker 2: safety in Rayshn Jenkins who is better near the line 2311 01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:48,920 Speaker 2: of scrimmage than he is down the field. You saw 2312 01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:51,600 Speaker 2: him on the run blitzes and some other plays like that. 2313 01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:55,840 Speaker 2: And I don't know, does that impact your game plan. 2314 01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:58,480 Speaker 2: Just because they're best in the league at defending twelve 2315 01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:01,680 Speaker 2: personnel doesn't mean you don't run it. But to your point, 2316 01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:03,760 Speaker 2: maybe you have something else in your back pocket to 2317 01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:06,440 Speaker 2: turn to in case they do prove effective in defending it. 2318 01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:08,520 Speaker 4: And it's there's no question. I mean, good teams like 2319 01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:10,680 Speaker 4: the and the Bills are. The Bills are one of 2320 01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,240 Speaker 4: the laite teams in the league. Despite a loss yesterday, 2321 01:57:14,560 --> 01:57:17,440 Speaker 4: you got to have a Plan B and a Plan 2322 01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:19,840 Speaker 4: C and be able to win with either of them. 2323 01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:23,960 Speaker 4: And yesterday, when they did that and turn to those things, 2324 01:57:24,200 --> 01:57:26,760 Speaker 4: whatever those might have been, you know, they didn't they 2325 01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:32,160 Speaker 4: didn't execute, and I think yesterday was a was you 2326 01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:35,080 Speaker 4: know that these didn't look like they were the same team. 2327 01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:39,360 Speaker 4: Now credit the Jacksonville Jaguars that I think there is 2328 01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:41,520 Speaker 4: something in there about a three four defense that the 2329 01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:45,760 Speaker 4: Bill's got to address. And you know, they didn't play 2330 01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:48,640 Speaker 4: up play as well as they should have. I think 2331 01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:50,800 Speaker 4: their offensive line probably looking at it going out, we 2332 01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:52,880 Speaker 4: should have done this little better, listening better. Because of that, 2333 01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:55,760 Speaker 4: they did get pressure and consistent pressure, which is something new, 2334 01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:58,960 Speaker 4: and that's something new that this team hasn't faced all year. 2335 01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:01,760 Speaker 2: So all of that's the exception of Week one. 2336 01:58:01,880 --> 01:58:04,520 Speaker 4: All yeah, all the that stuff goes into the into 2337 01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:06,880 Speaker 4: the stew and you need to come out of there 2338 01:58:06,880 --> 01:58:08,840 Speaker 4: with some answers. And I'm sure the Bill's coaching staff 2339 01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:13,200 Speaker 4: and the players will as well. Usually players are as 2340 01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:15,520 Speaker 4: dip or as hard on themselves as anybody out here 2341 01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:19,560 Speaker 4: in the regular population is. They put pressure on themselves 2342 01:58:19,560 --> 01:58:21,120 Speaker 4: to play better and then play at a high level. 2343 01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:24,200 Speaker 4: And they're gonna make some adjustments this week, no question. 2344 01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:27,120 Speaker 2: Let's try Steven in north Tonawanda a second time. What 2345 01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:31,560 Speaker 2: do you got Steven? All right, Steven must not be there. 2346 01:58:31,560 --> 01:58:33,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna let him go. We tried twice there, buddy. Sorry, 2347 01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:36,280 Speaker 2: we couldn't connect with you on that. We will take 2348 01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:39,480 Speaker 2: a break here, we will. We will still take your 2349 01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:42,040 Speaker 2: phone calls at eight oh three, five point fifty one, 2350 01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:45,720 Speaker 2: eight eight eight, five point fifty two, five point fifty Uh. 2351 01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:50,080 Speaker 2: We will get into more of this game and what happened, 2352 01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:52,800 Speaker 2: and we will spin it forward a little bit as 2353 01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:55,760 Speaker 2: we get ready for the Giants this coming week in 2354 01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:59,920 Speaker 2: Week six for Sunday Night football at high Mark Stadium. 2355 01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:02,040 Speaker 2: Break time, We're back in a flash here on One 2356 01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:11,360 Speaker 2: Bill's Live, presented by Cold of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 2357 01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:17,400 Speaker 2: All right, welcome back One Bill's Live.

We'll get to the tweet sheet as 2361 01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:28,520 Speaker 2: well in just a second, but first to the phones 2362 01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:34,160 Speaker 2: and leading us off here is Mark in Amherst, Mark, 2363 01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:36,640 Speaker 2: what do you got for Hold on? Mark? What do 2364 01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:37,040 Speaker 2: you got for us? 2365 01:59:37,040 --> 01:59:37,200 Speaker 4: Here? 2366 01:59:37,200 --> 01:59:37,880 Speaker 2: On one Bill's Live. 2367 01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:40,640 Speaker 22: How you doing, guys good? 2368 01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:42,920 Speaker 14: I just have an opinion on something I'd like to 2369 01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:46,320 Speaker 14: hear your guys comment. How was that training camp on 2370 01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:50,920 Speaker 14: the sidelines on a few different occasions, I know what 2371 01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:54,240 Speaker 14: I saw, and everybody was thinking, it's coming down to 2372 01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:59,680 Speaker 14: Shakier or Isabella, and one's gonna get cut. My opinion 2373 01:59:59,840 --> 02:00:02,840 Speaker 14: was Shakier didn't earn the spot on the team, so 2374 02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:04,840 Speaker 14: they put him on the team. And that's by and 2375 02:00:05,080 --> 02:00:08,280 Speaker 14: they're in charge. Except you go out and you pay 2376 02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:09,600 Speaker 14: for Sherfield and Hardy. 2377 02:00:09,680 --> 02:00:10,320 Speaker 5: You have two. 2378 02:00:10,160 --> 02:00:14,600 Speaker 14: Weapons, You have an offense that's stagnant. You gloo them 2379 02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:17,240 Speaker 14: to the bench. You finally bring Hardy out for a 2380 02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:23,000 Speaker 14: sixty yard catch in desperation time. He's opposing defensive coordinators 2381 02:00:23,080 --> 02:00:26,360 Speaker 14: know what Shakir is. He's out there as a decoy 2382 02:00:26,440 --> 02:00:29,800 Speaker 14: most of the time running motions. Josh throws him a 2383 02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:33,440 Speaker 14: pass a two point conversion. To throw it to him 2384 02:00:33,520 --> 02:00:35,760 Speaker 14: is ridiculous. If you're going to call that play, it 2385 02:00:35,760 --> 02:00:39,920 Speaker 14: should have been to Deontay Hardy, who's more elusive. I 2386 02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:42,040 Speaker 14: just want to hang up and listen to your guys' 2387 02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:42,720 Speaker 14: comments on this. 2388 02:00:43,040 --> 02:00:46,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's those are fair points, Mark, I understand where 2389 02:00:46,160 --> 02:00:48,720 Speaker 2: you're coming from. Shakiro did get the most snaps between him, 2390 02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:53,280 Speaker 2: Hardy and Sherfield nineteen to fifteen to eleven and out 2391 02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:57,360 Speaker 2: in the flat there. If you want to argue better 2392 02:00:57,480 --> 02:01:00,640 Speaker 2: space player option, I would agree with you on Hardy. 2393 02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:04,800 Speaker 2: Shakira is not a player who is strong enough to 2394 02:01:04,800 --> 02:01:09,680 Speaker 2: pull through tackles. When one guy gets him, he's usually 2395 02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:12,800 Speaker 2: on the ground. He rarely pulls himself through tackles to 2396 02:01:12,800 --> 02:01:15,760 Speaker 2: get extra yardage. So if you want to argue Hardy 2397 02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:18,960 Speaker 2: in space, I would listen to that. If you want 2398 02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:22,280 Speaker 2: to go bigger and stronger, I would go Shurefield, who 2399 02:01:22,360 --> 02:01:24,600 Speaker 2: could pull through a tackle like that. He's big enough 2400 02:01:24,600 --> 02:01:27,520 Speaker 2: and strong enough to do that. I was very impressed 2401 02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:30,200 Speaker 2: with the training camp and the preseason the Trent Sherfield 2402 02:01:30,200 --> 02:01:33,560 Speaker 2: put together, and if it was my choice, I would 2403 02:01:33,560 --> 02:01:37,880 Speaker 2: have him on the field. More of those three guys 2404 02:01:37,880 --> 02:01:41,160 Speaker 2: that you mentioned. Hardy showed me something on Sunday where 2405 02:01:41,200 --> 02:01:43,360 Speaker 2: I would be inclined if it was my decision to 2406 02:01:43,400 --> 02:01:45,720 Speaker 2: make to get him some more reps on the field. 2407 02:01:45,720 --> 02:01:47,840 Speaker 2: There is a downfield component to his game that we 2408 02:01:47,880 --> 02:01:50,800 Speaker 2: saw finally this past week that I think could be 2409 02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:56,080 Speaker 2: put into action as well. So if you're asking me 2410 02:01:56,200 --> 02:02:00,120 Speaker 2: where I'm coming from, mark, my order of priority in 2411 02:02:00,160 --> 02:02:02,440 Speaker 2: terms of getting guys on the field and getting opportunities 2412 02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:06,120 Speaker 2: would go sherfield, Hardy Shakir, That's where I would come from. 2413 02:02:06,200 --> 02:02:07,880 Speaker 2: I don't know if Steve's order would be different. 2414 02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:12,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I yeah. The two point conversion yesterday looked bad. 2415 02:02:13,440 --> 02:02:15,800 Speaker 4: Shakiir caught it and didn't have an answer for the 2416 02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:19,400 Speaker 4: guy closing on him, And you know, that's it's it's 2417 02:02:19,480 --> 02:02:21,640 Speaker 4: tough to sit here and take that. I'm kind of 2418 02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:24,600 Speaker 4: with you. I thought the and I thought Andy Isabella 2419 02:02:24,640 --> 02:02:26,240 Speaker 4: had a nice camp as well. I was, and we 2420 02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:30,080 Speaker 4: were impressed with him from the from the jump, and 2421 02:02:30,200 --> 02:02:32,160 Speaker 4: for some reason he is not in the in the 2422 02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:37,240 Speaker 4: mix either, and I'm I'm about there's no question Shakir 2423 02:02:37,320 --> 02:02:40,400 Speaker 4: is probably the slowest of the three of the four 2424 02:02:40,480 --> 02:02:45,800 Speaker 4: actually quickness, Yeah, so yeah, it's easy to sit here 2425 02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:48,360 Speaker 4: and look at that and say, wow, he did not 2426 02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:51,520 Speaker 4: look good on the two point conversion. But they the 2427 02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:57,680 Speaker 4: guys got you know, some I don't know. Yeah, you 2428 02:02:57,680 --> 02:03:00,680 Speaker 4: always want to see something different when it doesn't work well. Yeah, 2429 02:03:00,720 --> 02:03:03,120 Speaker 4: And I think Shakir is one of those guys that 2430 02:03:03,160 --> 02:03:05,760 Speaker 4: we're talking about. Maybe the opportunities he's gotten, I wish 2431 02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:07,400 Speaker 4: he would have done more with and I wish somebody 2432 02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:10,720 Speaker 4: else would. Now you know, I'm got a conversation about 2433 02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:14,520 Speaker 4: who's gonna give us more. I don't know how that. 2434 02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:17,000 Speaker 4: I don't know how those conversations go, to be honest. 2435 02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:20,080 Speaker 2: With you, Yeah, but I mean we all everybody has 2436 02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:22,880 Speaker 2: their preferences. Everybody has players they like better than others 2437 02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:26,800 Speaker 2: on the roster, and the coaches are no different. And 2438 02:03:26,840 --> 02:03:28,960 Speaker 2: as Steve says all the time, we have to remember, 2439 02:03:29,520 --> 02:03:31,320 Speaker 2: the coaches are the one seeing them every day on 2440 02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:33,720 Speaker 2: the practice field. They're the one seeing them every day 2441 02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:36,680 Speaker 2: in the field in you know, film study and classroom work. 2442 02:03:37,520 --> 02:03:41,080 Speaker 2: So they're the most equipped to make the best decision 2443 02:03:41,080 --> 02:03:44,600 Speaker 2: for the team. But the proof is in the putting 2444 02:03:44,600 --> 02:03:48,440 Speaker 2: on game day also, and if you're gonna if you're 2445 02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:52,360 Speaker 2: gonna make plays like hardy made. You just probably deserve 2446 02:03:52,360 --> 02:03:54,400 Speaker 2: a little more time on the field, because it's about 2447 02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:56,800 Speaker 2: the stuff you do on game day count should count 2448 02:03:56,840 --> 02:03:57,280 Speaker 2: the most. 2449 02:03:57,400 --> 02:04:01,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I really I believe that too. I think whenever 2450 02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:04,040 Speaker 4: you struggle, you know you're gonna say, wow, we should 2451 02:04:04,080 --> 02:04:06,000 Speaker 4: give this guy trying, this guy chance, or you should 2452 02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:07,760 Speaker 4: have called this play as of that player. You should 2453 02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:10,000 Speaker 4: be doing more this and less of this. So on 2454 02:04:10,080 --> 02:04:13,720 Speaker 4: a day like today, you know, that's what we do. 2455 02:04:13,760 --> 02:04:16,240 Speaker 4: We throw darts at decisions that have already been made 2456 02:04:16,280 --> 02:04:18,720 Speaker 4: and you know the results of So it's it's easy 2457 02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:20,400 Speaker 4: to sit here and say, you know, make this change, 2458 02:04:20,440 --> 02:04:22,640 Speaker 4: make that change, do this to that. Let's not forget 2459 02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:27,440 Speaker 4: this is the team that was absolutely absolutely singing through 2460 02:04:27,480 --> 02:04:30,360 Speaker 4: the first month of the season. Last three weeks they 2461 02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:33,720 Speaker 4: have been the absolute darling in the NFL, and they met. 2462 02:04:33,560 --> 02:04:36,800 Speaker 2: A team that was lying. 2463 02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:38,560 Speaker 4: That was lying in wait and kind of on a 2464 02:04:38,600 --> 02:04:41,040 Speaker 4: funky schedule, and they got a bunch of injuries and 2465 02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:43,160 Speaker 4: they're not the same team this week that they were 2466 02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:46,760 Speaker 4: two games ago. But you Saturday of last week they 2467 02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:49,200 Speaker 4: were a completely different roster than they are in this week. 2468 02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:52,360 Speaker 4: And going forward, they're gonna have to adjust on the fly, 2469 02:04:52,720 --> 02:04:54,680 Speaker 4: and we don't know what it's gonna look like. I 2470 02:04:54,720 --> 02:04:58,440 Speaker 4: think that's the real question going forward here. What's gonna 2471 02:04:58,440 --> 02:05:00,160 Speaker 4: happen and how productive are they going to be with 2472 02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:04,480 Speaker 4: different guys playing on defense? Particularly right what's that gonna 2473 02:05:04,480 --> 02:05:07,720 Speaker 4: look like? We don't know. You're taught. You are down 2474 02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:11,240 Speaker 4: two corn your best two outside corners, your best two 2475 02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:15,200 Speaker 4: defensive linemen or defense defensive ends, and your best linebacker 2476 02:05:15,320 --> 02:05:18,080 Speaker 4: Von Miller was on pitch count and Greg Russeau wasn't 2477 02:05:18,080 --> 02:05:20,520 Speaker 4: there and you're all pro middle guy who's the heart 2478 02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:22,480 Speaker 4: and soul of everything was gone at the middle of 2479 02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:25,960 Speaker 4: the first You know, that's a that's a tough pill. 2480 02:05:26,680 --> 02:05:30,520 Speaker 4: So going forward, I can't worry about yesterday. You got 2481 02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:33,240 Speaker 4: to go forward. What's this going to look like? That's 2482 02:05:33,240 --> 02:05:35,040 Speaker 4: the real question. What are they gonna do with the 2483 02:05:35,080 --> 02:05:37,880 Speaker 4: personnel and making some real decisions about who's gonna get 2484 02:05:37,880 --> 02:05:42,280 Speaker 4: the most snaps going forward? That's a real question. 2485 02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:44,760 Speaker 2: I think people have the question about the offense because 2486 02:05:44,760 --> 02:05:45,960 Speaker 2: I think they know they're gonna have to pull on 2487 02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:48,440 Speaker 2: the rope a little bit harder in these coming weeks, 2488 02:05:48,600 --> 02:05:51,400 Speaker 2: So they think except that they want more productive answers 2489 02:05:51,440 --> 02:05:52,120 Speaker 2: and who is that. 2490 02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:54,200 Speaker 4: In a game where the Jaguars they didn't know it 2491 02:05:54,240 --> 02:05:56,920 Speaker 4: going in and all of a sudden mid game they 2492 02:05:56,920 --> 02:06:00,320 Speaker 4: got kneecapped by this thing no I know roster, and 2493 02:06:00,360 --> 02:06:01,960 Speaker 4: they still only gave up twenty five. 2494 02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:04,040 Speaker 2: But I guess I think what a lot of the 2495 02:06:04,040 --> 02:06:06,400 Speaker 2: fans are asking today is now you have time to 2496 02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:08,280 Speaker 2: prepare for the next game, knowing you don't have a 2497 02:06:08,280 --> 02:06:11,040 Speaker 2: lot of those elements. And I think a lot of 2498 02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:13,440 Speaker 2: the Bills fans feel the offense is gonna have to 2499 02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:14,800 Speaker 2: pull on the rope a little bit harder now with 2500 02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:18,080 Speaker 2: the defense down potentially five starters. Who's stepping up to 2501 02:06:18,120 --> 02:06:20,000 Speaker 2: do that? And people have their preferences. 2502 02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:23,040 Speaker 4: I get it this week. This week, though you're not 2503 02:06:23,080 --> 02:06:29,640 Speaker 4: facing Jacksonville Jaguars. This giant offense can't even Jacksonville run 2504 02:06:29,680 --> 02:06:36,080 Speaker 4: those guys out of the gym offensively. Jacksonville's quarterback can play. 2505 02:06:36,320 --> 02:06:39,640 Speaker 4: Daniel Jones at best is a manager. 2506 02:06:40,160 --> 02:06:44,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. Thirty first in passing, thirty second in total offense, 2507 02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:47,560 Speaker 2: twenty third in rushing. Now, granted they have not had 2508 02:06:47,560 --> 02:06:49,600 Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley each of the last two weeks. He might 2509 02:06:49,640 --> 02:06:52,680 Speaker 2: be ready to play this week. Thirty first in points scored. 2510 02:06:53,200 --> 02:06:56,280 Speaker 2: They are also twenty sixth and third down conversions and 2511 02:06:56,320 --> 02:06:58,880 Speaker 2: the defense is not much better twenty seventh in total 2512 02:06:58,920 --> 02:07:02,800 Speaker 2: defense twenty ninth and run defense nineteenth and pass defense 2513 02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:06,120 Speaker 2: twenty ninth. In points allowed third down, they're getting off 2514 02:07:06,160 --> 02:07:10,320 Speaker 2: the field at twenty third in the league. So it's 2515 02:07:10,360 --> 02:07:11,880 Speaker 2: it's been a tough road to hope for the Giants 2516 02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:15,120 Speaker 2: here out of the gate. But you know, Prime Time 2517 02:07:15,160 --> 02:07:17,040 Speaker 2: as a way of rallying the troops sometimes, so we'll 2518 02:07:17,080 --> 02:07:18,880 Speaker 2: have to see what comes of it. To Mark in 2519 02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:21,040 Speaker 2: Lockport next, from one Mark to another, what do you 2520 02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:21,720 Speaker 2: got for his Mark? 2521 02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:25,120 Speaker 5: Hey, well, it's great show love it. During the summer. 2522 02:07:26,560 --> 02:07:31,760 Speaker 5: As far as the European Games, why can't they incorporate 2523 02:07:32,320 --> 02:07:36,560 Speaker 5: the bye weeks actually played on the following Saturday. So 2524 02:07:36,680 --> 02:07:39,480 Speaker 5: equal time calling back, just teams on a bye week 2525 02:07:39,520 --> 02:07:40,360 Speaker 5: go over to Europe. 2526 02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:42,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I do give him the idea. They gave him 2527 02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:44,480 Speaker 4: the option. Every team can have a bye after the 2528 02:07:44,800 --> 02:07:51,840 Speaker 4: after their he's saying before yeah, right, yeah, okay, whatever, I. 2529 02:07:51,840 --> 02:07:54,840 Speaker 5: Mean, only teams that are involved with the bye week 2530 02:07:54,960 --> 02:07:56,040 Speaker 5: have to go to Europe. 2531 02:07:57,680 --> 02:07:59,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you could probably work that into this 2532 02:08:00,160 --> 02:08:02,160 Speaker 2: edual algorithm. So I see what so you can get 2533 02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:04,920 Speaker 2: them a proper acclamation period. Mark. I respect what you're saying. 2534 02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:07,760 Speaker 2: I don't hate that the Bills had the option of 2535 02:08:07,800 --> 02:08:10,480 Speaker 2: taking the bye week this week after their London game. 2536 02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:13,280 Speaker 2: They chose not to. They have it later in the season, 2537 02:08:13,880 --> 02:08:19,280 Speaker 2: and I actually agree with that. I kind of like 2538 02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:22,000 Speaker 2: Mark's idea. Put the bye before they have to go 2539 02:08:22,080 --> 02:08:24,840 Speaker 2: over so they have the time to acclimate and they 2540 02:08:24,840 --> 02:08:26,720 Speaker 2: can go over. I mean, of course, you could argue 2541 02:08:26,760 --> 02:08:30,240 Speaker 2: they could have left on Monday anyway and done it 2542 02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:33,920 Speaker 2: without a bye, But I get what you're saying, Mark. 2543 02:08:34,320 --> 02:08:38,200 Speaker 2: I don't know that it's a panacea for this. Because 2544 02:08:39,160 --> 02:08:42,480 Speaker 2: the Ravens left today for their London game on Sunday. 2545 02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:44,720 Speaker 2: Bills could have done that too if they wanted, they 2546 02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:49,640 Speaker 2: chose not to. The Jaguars left on the same schedule 2547 02:08:49,680 --> 02:08:53,160 Speaker 2: that the Bills did a week earlier. Falcons, to my knowledge, 2548 02:08:53,240 --> 02:08:58,440 Speaker 2: left on Thursday night, just like the Jaguars did. Different 2549 02:08:58,440 --> 02:09:02,360 Speaker 2: results for different people, different teams, So it kind of 2550 02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:05,080 Speaker 2: is what it is at this point in time. Let's 2551 02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:07,280 Speaker 2: go to Kenny on a sale. What do you got 2552 02:09:07,280 --> 02:09:07,840 Speaker 2: for us? Kenny? 2553 02:09:08,800 --> 02:09:10,120 Speaker 9: Yes, how you doing good? 2554 02:09:10,840 --> 02:09:15,640 Speaker 12: I'm talking about the wide receivers gave Davis and some digs. 2555 02:09:15,840 --> 02:09:19,720 Speaker 9: I think Game Davis is doing echling down because. 2556 02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:24,040 Speaker 21: John Stealin Hawsy targeted Diggs because you know that's his 2557 02:09:24,520 --> 02:09:25,000 Speaker 21: main mayor. 2558 02:09:25,520 --> 02:09:29,320 Speaker 12: I think he gave David Debal a lot more. Davis 2559 02:09:29,360 --> 02:09:32,160 Speaker 12: from being real a lot better. He touched him everything. 2560 02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:36,240 Speaker 12: He might prob one or two pass out of the game, 2561 02:09:36,320 --> 02:09:38,960 Speaker 12: but he careches nine passes. 2562 02:09:39,440 --> 02:09:42,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that I can completely agree with that, Kenny, 2563 02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:44,120 Speaker 2: because he led the league in drops last year, so 2564 02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:46,360 Speaker 2: he's better this year. 2565 02:09:46,600 --> 02:09:48,800 Speaker 12: You're talking about we were talking about this year. 2566 02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:51,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand what you're saying. We know, but you 2567 02:09:51,960 --> 02:09:54,320 Speaker 2: know what the history is, that's all. And he dropped 2568 02:09:54,320 --> 02:09:56,680 Speaker 2: a third down He dropped a third down pass yesterday 2569 02:09:56,680 --> 02:09:59,360 Speaker 2: that killed the drive. And I'm look, I'm not trying 2570 02:09:59,360 --> 02:10:01,360 Speaker 2: to pile on Game Davis. I think he's been good 2571 02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:04,080 Speaker 2: this year, and he's been more consistent certainly than he 2572 02:10:04,200 --> 02:10:07,960 Speaker 2: was last year, which is important because they need him. 2573 02:10:08,280 --> 02:10:11,400 Speaker 2: And he was productive yesterday six catches, hundred yards, touchdown. 2574 02:10:11,400 --> 02:10:15,200 Speaker 2: But in a loss, some of those shortcomings get magnified. 2575 02:10:15,360 --> 02:10:18,120 Speaker 2: And we've had fans calling us today and they're hanging 2576 02:10:18,200 --> 02:10:21,280 Speaker 2: on that drop and I understand why because you're off 2577 02:10:21,280 --> 02:10:22,960 Speaker 2: the field because you didn't get it and it's in 2578 02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:25,480 Speaker 2: his hands and he's got to have those. And gab 2579 02:10:25,520 --> 02:10:27,200 Speaker 2: would probably be the first person to tell you that 2580 02:10:30,320 --> 02:10:33,720 Speaker 2: you need somebody to be a week in week out 2581 02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:41,280 Speaker 2: bonafide secondary contributor. And Davis has been productive. And if 2582 02:10:41,720 --> 02:10:44,280 Speaker 2: you're voting on who is the most likely guy to 2583 02:10:44,320 --> 02:10:47,800 Speaker 2: be that, it's probably gave Davis on them based on 2584 02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:50,080 Speaker 2: the production that he's had for this team the last 2585 02:10:50,080 --> 02:10:50,640 Speaker 2: four weeks. 2586 02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:54,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's been very good this year, and mostly 2587 02:10:54,400 --> 02:10:56,240 Speaker 4: because he has not had the drops that he had 2588 02:10:56,280 --> 02:11:00,240 Speaker 4: a year ago, they have not that he is rarely 2589 02:11:00,240 --> 02:11:02,760 Speaker 4: been the centerpiece because Diggs has been so effective, right, 2590 02:11:03,080 --> 02:11:05,080 Speaker 4: but he has done everything they've asked him to do. 2591 02:11:05,160 --> 02:11:10,160 Speaker 4: And Litsten, I mean, coming into this game against Jacksonville, 2592 02:11:10,560 --> 02:11:13,000 Speaker 4: this offense was doing everything they wanted to do and 2593 02:11:13,040 --> 02:11:16,520 Speaker 4: getting it done at a high level. So the fact 2594 02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:19,680 Speaker 4: that they hit a bump in the road, I think 2595 02:11:19,680 --> 02:11:21,440 Speaker 4: it says more about the league and the way that 2596 02:11:21,440 --> 02:11:24,400 Speaker 4: it's a week to week league than it does about 2597 02:11:24,400 --> 02:11:28,600 Speaker 4: any individual player. We said it last week. We knew 2598 02:11:29,120 --> 02:11:31,960 Speaker 4: it's hard to keep scoring thirty five points a game 2599 02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:33,360 Speaker 4: in this league week to week. 2600 02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:36,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to do high level efficiency. That's difficult 2601 02:11:36,960 --> 02:11:37,520 Speaker 2: to sustain. 2602 02:11:37,640 --> 02:11:39,520 Speaker 4: So you knew they were gonna, you know, they would, 2603 02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:41,440 Speaker 4: you know, at least come back. You figured you'd hope 2604 02:11:41,440 --> 02:11:43,440 Speaker 4: they could win a tough game like this instead of 2605 02:11:43,480 --> 02:11:45,400 Speaker 4: losing a tough game. But you knew tough games are 2606 02:11:45,400 --> 02:11:47,120 Speaker 4: on the road, and there's going to be more of them. 2607 02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:49,520 Speaker 4: It ain't gonna get easier from here on. It it's 2608 02:11:49,520 --> 02:11:52,919 Speaker 4: gonna get harder. With the roster changes and the injuries 2609 02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:55,120 Speaker 4: and all that stuff. It's gonna get harder, not easier. 2610 02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:57,600 Speaker 4: So they got to find ways to win games like 2611 02:11:57,640 --> 02:12:00,240 Speaker 4: they played in yesterday instead of losing a close game, 2612 02:12:00,280 --> 02:12:02,560 Speaker 4: win a close game. But that's where they're at it. 2613 02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:05,560 Speaker 4: It wasn't always going to be forty seven to twenty, 2614 02:12:06,520 --> 02:12:07,640 Speaker 4: you know, week after week. 2615 02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:11,840 Speaker 2: We have to step aside. Here one final segment to go, 2616 02:12:11,960 --> 02:12:13,400 Speaker 2: we'll try to squeeze in a phone call and a 2617 02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:15,280 Speaker 2: thought on the tweet sheet next here on One Bill's Live. 2618 02:12:15,320 --> 02:12:35,400 Speaker 2: Stay tuned, all right, welcome back, and to squeeze Bob 2619 02:12:35,400 --> 02:12:37,520 Speaker 2: and cheek Dowaga in here before the end of the show. 2620 02:12:37,560 --> 02:12:38,480 Speaker 2: Do you got Bob quickly. 2621 02:12:39,240 --> 02:12:41,959 Speaker 25: Hey guys, I just got to stick up for Shakira 2622 02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:44,520 Speaker 25: a little bit here. I think he's having an okay 2623 02:12:44,600 --> 02:12:47,360 Speaker 25: year for us. Will you agree with this on me? 2624 02:12:47,520 --> 02:12:51,480 Speaker 25: Watch that replay for the for the two points he's 2625 02:12:51,520 --> 02:12:54,160 Speaker 25: gotta I love Josh, I really do. He's gotta get 2626 02:12:54,200 --> 02:12:57,480 Speaker 25: that ball out of there right away. Watch the bat 2627 02:12:57,680 --> 02:13:00,440 Speaker 25: the keep at the back. Watch he's coming over by 2628 02:13:00,480 --> 02:13:02,400 Speaker 25: the time you get some bottles and back skin and 2629 02:13:02,560 --> 02:13:04,480 Speaker 25: directly right in front of them, right as soon as 2630 02:13:04,520 --> 02:13:07,040 Speaker 25: that right away, guy, and he's in there. 2631 02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:11,320 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, No, you're fine, Bob on that, and I 2632 02:13:11,360 --> 02:13:13,320 Speaker 2: would tend to agree with you, Eric and I mentioned 2633 02:13:13,320 --> 02:13:16,480 Speaker 2: it on the broadcast. Josh floats the ball out there, 2634 02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:19,480 Speaker 2: he's got to zip it to him, number one, and 2635 02:13:19,520 --> 02:13:21,640 Speaker 2: he's got to put it on his chest number two. 2636 02:13:21,680 --> 02:13:23,680 Speaker 2: It's got to be in his hands so he has 2637 02:13:23,720 --> 02:13:25,960 Speaker 2: it fast enough to then turn up field and then 2638 02:13:26,080 --> 02:13:27,160 Speaker 2: size up the defender. 2639 02:13:27,280 --> 02:13:29,560 Speaker 4: There's a couple of things. If he's he jumps to 2640 02:13:29,600 --> 02:13:31,879 Speaker 4: catch it, so he's airborne, so we can't change directions 2641 02:13:31,920 --> 02:13:34,400 Speaker 4: while he's airborne. And if Josh really wanted to do 2642 02:13:34,520 --> 02:13:37,040 Speaker 4: Josh tried to pull the dB away with his eyes 2643 02:13:37,080 --> 02:13:38,560 Speaker 4: by keeping him in the middle of field, didn't come 2644 02:13:38,600 --> 02:13:40,680 Speaker 4: there late. If he would have planted a foot and 2645 02:13:40,720 --> 02:13:43,000 Speaker 4: gave a hard pump fake to a slant route or 2646 02:13:43,040 --> 02:13:45,520 Speaker 4: whatever is over the cost, that defensive back might have 2647 02:13:45,600 --> 02:13:47,800 Speaker 4: froze and then he could have put it on Shakir 2648 02:13:47,840 --> 02:13:50,720 Speaker 4: a different way. But yeah, I mean, there's always a 2649 02:13:50,760 --> 02:13:53,440 Speaker 4: way to overcome the defense after the fact, but you 2650 02:13:53,480 --> 02:13:55,920 Speaker 4: got to do it the first try. And when they 2651 02:13:55,920 --> 02:13:58,560 Speaker 4: get a pass like that, Shakir to me, had a 2652 02:13:58,600 --> 02:14:03,200 Speaker 4: little more time to get from to make that guy miss. 2653 02:14:03,320 --> 02:14:04,640 Speaker 4: You gotta make that guy miss. 2654 02:14:04,760 --> 02:14:08,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, got u zinging in not floated. Uh, we're just 2655 02:14:08,200 --> 02:14:11,879 Speaker 2: about out of time here. We've got dan Orlobsky tomorrow 2656 02:14:12,160 --> 02:14:15,240 Speaker 2: on his weekly visit as he will break down this 2657 02:14:15,360 --> 02:14:17,640 Speaker 2: game for us, and we'll also have him focus on 2658 02:14:17,680 --> 02:14:19,840 Speaker 2: the Giants coming up as we look forward to the 2659 02:14:19,840 --> 02:14:23,560 Speaker 2: week six matchup on Sunday Night Football.
